Council approves participation rules

The Ellensburg City Council reinstated remote comments on non-agenda items at its meetings but will require commentators to register 24 hours in advance. The council rejected a proposal to move the public comment portion of the meeting to later in the agenda and left it near the beginning of the meeting. The council had prohibited remote comments on non-agenda items earlier this year following organized Zoom bombings from neo-Nazi supporters.


Sleep Center Open House on Wednesday

An open house to discuss the Sleep Center proposal is from 6 to 8 p.m., today at the Hal Holmes Community Center. The open house starts with a presentation, followed by a question-and-answer period. The sleep center also will be the topic of a joint City Council and Kittitas County commissioner meeting on June 13. The proposed Sleep Center location on South Ruby Street drew public opposition and led the council to request the public suggest alternate sites.


No injuries in duplex fire

All residents were safely evacuated after a wind-aided fire spread from a shed to an adjacent duplex on East Idaho Avenue Saturday.

Wind gusts of 40 to 50 mph made fighting the fire challenging. Fire officials ask that people abstain from outdoor fires on days when gusty winds are forecasted.
