B. Information
City of Ellensburg Comprehensive Plan – Angela San Filippo, Long Range Planner
Ms. San Filippo explained RCW requires that cities and counties update their comprehensive act every
eight years. The basis for this process is the Washington State Growth Management Act (RCW 36.70A).
Kittitas County reviewed their county-wide planning policies and the City of Ellensburg is currently
updating their comprehensive plan. Development regulations and implementation programs will be
developed from that process. She noted that the City’s comprehensive plan provides the framework of
how our community will grow and invited feedback from EFC. The City’s website has a link to the survey
or members may respond using a paper copy that was distributed at the meeting. Ms. San Filippo would
like to plan another session with University groups, ideally in December. Bill Yarwood volunteer to
organize the meeting. A copy of Ms. San Filippo’s presentation is attached to these meeting minutes.

Bouillon Hall: Project originally included seismic reinforcement for the exterior window shades, but an
engineering study determined that it would not be necessary. Funds will be used instead to enhance the
entryways, both on the Walnut Mall and the east side of the building.
Old Heat: Project will be completed in three phases. Lydig Construction was award a contract for phase
I, demolition and abatement of the south annex. Nearly all of the storage items from various
departments and APOYO have been relocated and work will commence by the end of the month. There
will be minimal impact to the parking lot next to the building area (C-9) and the alleyway between
University Way and 7th Avenue will remain open.
Capital Project Scoring: The projects CWU submitted to OFM for scoring did very well. A single
prioritized list will be released in December; this usually coincides with the release of the Governor’s
budget.
C. Subcommittee and Task Force Update

Campus Circulation Committee will provide recommendations on parking improvements related to
capital and other projects as well as pedestrian and non-motorized vehicle routes on campus.
Memorials and Trees – Development has been assisting a family of an alumni passed away this year and
who wanted to honor his memory by placing two trees and a bench on campus. The gift agreement
with this family will be used as the basis for a policy and procedure to govern future memorials, as well
as graphic standards. It was recommended that there be different levels of giving and that each gift
provide include funding for ongoing maintenance. Karen Shaw noted that the partnership between
Development and FMD is important to the process.
