PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE CITIZEN COMMENTS Eastmont Junior High School Vice Principal Greg Loomis said the East Wenatchee Police Department was unsuccessful in obtaining a grant for an additional School Resource Officer (SRO) and asked Council to consider hiring a police officer to serve as an additional SRO in the Eastmont School District. Mayor Lacy asked Mr. Loomis if the Eastmont School District was willing to help fund the additional SRO. Mr. Loomis said he could not guarantee any funds and would like the City to fund the SRO position 100%. Council discussed different options of proactive responses to situations rather than the necessity to hire an additional officer. Mayor Lacy said he would meet with Chief Harrison to discuss resources of providing additional service to the Eastmont School District.

Mayor Lacy opened the public hearing at 7:17 p.m. Hearing no public comment Mayor Lacy closed the public hearing at 7:18 p.m. ORDINANCE 04-11-02 First reading of an ordinance regarding property taxes in the proposed 2005 East Wenatchee Budget. Council Action: A motion was made to elevate the ordinance regarding property taxes in the proposed 2005 East Wenatchee Budget to second reading by Councilmember Bremmer, second by Councilmember Hendricks. The motion carried, 7-0. Councilmember Raab expressed concern of a vote in favor of passing the ordinance when he has not yet reviewed the preliminary budget document. City Attorney Zimmerman said the budget schedule timeline is relatively tight from the time the City receives necessary budget information from Douglas County to when public hearings need to be advertised and when the preliminary budget is required to be available. Councilmember Aiken said the Budget Committee made the recommendation not to increase the property tax based on the information available to them and feels Council should be in concurrence with the Budget Committee. Council Action: A motion was made to adopt the ordinance regarding property taxes in the proposed 2005 East Wenatchee Budget by Councilmember Bremmer, second by Councilmember Aiken. The motion carried, 7-0. Mayor Lacy read the ordinance summary.

NoaNet has leased 1200 miles of fiber optic cable in Washington State from Bonneville Power. RiverCom could use these lines and NoaNet to provide fast communications throughout our service area. There would be advantages in case of disasters or something like wildfires. Obviously there would be added costs. The grant would take care of most of the start up costs and the 25% match could be in -kind service, i.e. meetings, administrative time, etc. He asked what the added costs would be after the grant and how many additional employees would be needed. He said the answers would be forthcoming and the board instructed staff to research all the costs and report back. RicerCom also reviewed a preliminary budget for 2005. This was just a study session and many suggestions were made as to cuts that could be made. After the study session they went into an Executive Session to discuss a Personnel Issue. He also attached a RiverCom newsletter submitted by RiverCom Director Terry Thomberry. Councilmember Raab also attended a Health Board meeting where they discussed an issue which revolves around the way the Health District handles cases where citizens want to use a septic system and not connect to a nearby sewer system. Health District board members and staff are currently drafting a new policy which would clear up this matter. They are also reviewing the proposed 2005 budget. ADJOURNMENT — 7:55 P.M.
