He does not think the board make-up of Wenatchee's proposed contract accomplishes that purpose. It simply requires that two of the representatives from each City be members of the hotel/motel industry. That leaves it open as to where those members come from, meaning they can all come from East Wenatchee. or all from Wenatchee. Given the nature of our tourism industry there is more likelihood that they could all come from Wenatchee but it is not stated as such. The idea that it would not be equal representation on the board is fostered by the current proposed contract from Wenatchee. The outcome of that discussion at the board level was, that rather than make a decision that night they would like to see a counter proposal from the City of East Wenatchee. East Wenatchee had not submitted an agreement because of the reciprocal contract. When East Wenatchee entered into the agreement the idea was to have reciprocal contracts. Mayor Johnson said he was not aware that there had been an agreement or even a custom for reciprocal contracts and what he expected, was for East Wenatchee to propose a contract of their own and if there were conflicts in the two proposed contracts that could not be reconciled without one City Council or the other modifying its position then that would need be worked out through negotiations back and forth between the WVCVB and both Cities. Mayor Lacy said it is for that reason that this contract is before you tonight with the prospect of approving an agreement for services which will set forth a recommendation for our agreement with the WVCVB. He added, the changes in East Wenatchee's contract compared to Wenatchee's contract are, the term of the agreement, and it would not provide that an elected official could not chair the board, and East Wenatchee's agreement would require there be equal representation on the board from each City. Council Action: A motion was made to approve the proposed agreement with the Wenatchee Valley Convention and Visitors Bureau for promotion of East Wenatchee and authorize the Mayor to sign said documents upon approval of the WVCVB, by Councilmember Bremmer, second by Councilmember Aiken. Councilmember Hendricks said he would like to reduce the term of the contract as he is not comfortable with a five year contract. Council Action: A motion was made to amend the proposed agreement with the Wenatchee Valley Convention and Visitors Bureau revising the term from July 8, 2003, and terminating on July 13, 2008, to July 8, 2003 and terminating December 31, 2005 by Councilmember Hendricks, second by Councilmember McCourt. The motion failed, 2-5. Mayor Lacy asked for a vote on the original motion. The motion carried, 6-1 (McCourt) DISCUSSION ITEM 04-09-04 A discussion regarding an amendment to the 2004 budget for Christmas decorations. Mayor Lacy said Council amended the budget in 2003 to purchase lights and electricity for the Christmas lighting event. He said this year he plans to have an even bigger celebration at Christmas time and would again like to amend the 2004 budget to allow for Christmas •sosnq X II'I agl uo sAuldsip IuatuasiPanpu ao3 10101Ju00 u Jo uoisualxo pazuoglnu oslu piuoq N II -I oq j •uoiluiodo puu uoilullulsui sapnloui goigm 00.000`SE$ 103 uialsXs ioAip its )Clnp AAuag u 3o osugoand agI pazuoglnu oslu piroq aqj •uWu .nonuapad agI aoiA.ias of saloigaA Aalloal Iuuoilippu asugoind of saniluu.allu Swpuig lu 3lool oslu IIiM AC )q j 'loulsip ssauisnq aagoluuaM Isug aril su IlQm su loi.ilsip ssouisnq umolumop aagoluuaM agI aatAias aiaigaA A;)Ilol j, apnloui Ipm goigm SOOZ ioj suoildo aoiAias Mau SuipiuSai plag suns Suuuag oilgnd V •pauoq agl of 3laslag Suipnloui siaquiaui Mau agI pauioolaM piuoq agZ •popuallu ags Suilaaui >M l agl uo paliodai linoDoW .iaquiauiliounoD •saiouaSu IuluauiuianoS laglo g1iM uoiluiad000 pus sliuuad 3o oouunssi Suiunouoo Aoilod ag1 SuiMaiAa] aq pinoM pauoq agl `pappu aH •uialsAs ]aMas Qfld agI 3o uoiluliulsui agI oI .loud uoissiuuod paniaoal pug ladolanap agI su sliuuad agI onssi o133u1s polonalsm pjuoq aql uoissnosip IiglSual s 2uimoiio3 •ulalsAs lamas agl jo Iaa3 005 uiglim ouloo Iugl slol oM1 uo s)luul otldas 3o asn agI ioj lunolddu Auap oI IoulsiQ glivaH agI poNsu puu uialsAs lamas u paould Qfld 14unoo uulagD agI plos Suiaq slol agI of .loud •aagoluuaM DJU-1 It' uotsintp-qns mou u w s)juul oildas asn 01 L661 Puu 9661 uaaMlaq .iadolanap u Aq pantaoZJ Iiuuod u passnosip AogjL •tb00Z `IZ jaquialdaS uo popuallu ag Suilaaui pluog g1lu0H sslSnOG/uuiag3 agI uo paliodoi quu21 nqu owpounoD •sonssi IaSpnq oiom Suilaaui agI Iu passnosip osld •)IioM agl op of pajig oq pinom Auuduioo .iaglouu Iugl papioap sum Ii louiluoo agl ui popnloui IOU a.laM sSutmuap asagl su `uivagoid 116 NI ui panlonui suialsXS agl iiu Jo sSutmuap luotugoal Inoglim uioDlaATU l3al saluioossd puu a)[Uia2I Iugl poliodoi oslu aH •Aoilod agl o2uugo of ua3iul uoilou ou sum aaagl uoiluoguulo puu uoissnosip aagu puu Aoilod siouliud oilsowop aril pamalAol Aagl plus OH •papualls ag Suilaaui uioD.iaArd agl uioij l.ioda.i u palliuigns quu-d jaquuouipounoo S,LHodau 1IIDNf1Oa 'uoilisod jo od,Cl sigl Suilig aoj suoildo iagliinj ojoldxo joAuW agI snug of snsuasuoo Aq poaau Iiounoo •saoiAlos agI .ioj luauiaa.iSV Iuoolniq uu olui Suilaluo puu `wnasnW puu laluOD lu.inlinD AQUA aagoluuaM aql glim uoilisod agI Supou.iluoo `aagaluuaM lsug ioj loluuiplooD IuimInD owil-Ind u Suuiil popnloui goigm lusodoid aqI SuipluSaa suapi lua.ia3jip passnosip iiounoD •Iuiodpuuls Iu.mlino u uio.l3 .impogol Cliununuoo agl SuiSuuq qof luailaoxa uu soop ialuaD lu.mllno wnosnW agI pappu aH •aagoluuaM Isug ui Xliununuoo oiuudsiH agl glim �l.iom pinom lugl `aagoluuaM ui JUQX A.iana plag uoiluagalao Au(I oouopuodapul agl of loadsa.i gltm Xilulnoiliud `.laluoD luanllnD agI uio.lj auoawos anug of SLIM lualui sig plus OH •sla3loud Iiounoo ui p2pnq }Iuip u popnloui goigm lusodoad jo .iallal s popnloui sug puu Suilaaul Iiounoo lsul agl Iu lusodo.id sill pouoiluaui ag plus Aou7 loKtW •.ialuaD iE1njInD puu wnasnW XQIIuA aagoluuaM agl uio.i3 lusodold u SuipiuSai uoissnosip d 50-60-b0 suoilu�ooap suuilsin D 10J 00.005`L$ .loj SuiMollu IaSpnq b00Z agI Suipuauiu oouuuiplo uu 13ulp of snsuasuoo Aq pool2u pounoo •puo-d Iuuig ssoiou ioj uSis polgBil mau u puu `puoZj luuaD .io3 s.lauuuq apnloui pinom goigM `suoilurooap 1700Z `8Z 'd99 Ig.LdgS Sd,LfMW 'IIDNf I0D dgHD LV MgM ,LSd9 90 UID CITY OF EAST WENATCHEE COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 28, 2004 At 7:42 p.m. Mayor Lacy called a fifteen minute executive session regarding potential litigation.
