Mayor Lacy said retired teachers volunteer in many organizations in the valley including the Sister City Organization. DEPARTMENT REPORT Community Development Director Barnett said there would be a joint workshop between the Douglas County Board of Commissioners, East Wenatchee City Council, Douglas County Regional Planning Commission, and the City of East Wenatchee Planning Commission regarding Neighborhood Commercial Criteria Review and Draft Road Standards Review. The workshop was scheduled for March 171h at 6:30 p.m. at Douglas County Transportation and Land Services located at 140 19`h Street NW. MAYORS REPORT Mayor Lacy said the Fancher Heights Area annexation was discussed in his absence at the last Council Meeting. Mayor Lacy said his goal has been no secret and feels growth by annexation is a positive thing. The City worked jointly with Douglas County on an annexation agreement which makes it easier and less contentious to achieve the City's annexation goals. However, the proposed Fancher Heights annexation presents some issues that he would like to have more information on. One issue was the present access road to Fancher Heights and a possible second access road. Mayor Lacy said Douglas County had been working on solutions to this issue and he would not want the City to interfere with the progress made. Additionally, if the City were to go forward with the Fancher Heights annexation, the Boundary Review Board could require the City to take in additional land to square up the boundaries. This could mean taking in land east to the Columbia River and north to possibly 31st Street. •puaJlu of alquun si aq pun allinialuM ui Aup agJ Suunp ploq Din sfutlaauu Dill st aaliiuuuuoD A.rosinPV aisuM ptloS Dip uo joAuW oql sluasoidai .iaunuarg loquiauiliounoD pappt aH •suiSoq aofUW a p 3o uuai nnau a Duutl gouo pololduuoo si goignn 4[liluuuoj u si uoilnlosaa aql pins Aot-I IOXU i •aaJliuuuuOD tiosiApd aisnM ptloS AlunoD sul2noCl agl of joAuW oql Suiluioddu uoilnlosai d I O-£0-tO NoiirnlosaH '09'9 i L`8t$ do lunouut Iulol aql ui `S££ti gSnonll 80£tI s.iagwnu iuuziunn;)Aoiddt saop liounoo `t00Z `6 goitW `aluP sigl3o sd •Iiounoo of Dlgtlinnn optuu uaaq suq Iugi Supsil u uo papi000l uaaq antq `060'tZ'Zt MD2I Aq paiinboi su pogillao suuiulo IuauiasinquuiDl asuadxa osogl puu `080'tZ'Zt MD2I Aq pannbw su 1;)ogjo Suilipnt aql Aq pogilaao puu palipnu saagonoA — silig3o uoiluzapisuo3 •Z t00Z `tZ Ait,nlga3 `uoissaS uuingo-d -- solnuiw 3o uoilu.iapisuoD • I '0-9 `poLuuo uoiloui oqZ •lauuuuDig ioquiouipounoo Aq puooas `ua)Iid jaquuauuliounoD Aq poluosoid sr itpualuo Iuasuoo agI anoiddu of apuuu suns uoilouu d :uollod Ilaunoa ldvaNa'ida .LNHSNOJ Juana oql ui aiudimi.iud of liounoo Pa)Ist puu Suilianun aql Suipualln oq Ilion inns JOXuW pappn aH •uoilonilsuoo sii 2uunp uopiu2 aqI of palnquluoo anuq ognn s.iagio glinn 8u01t unAustWjo suazipo aqi puu pinznS ioXuW iouoq lliM Juana sigl •uu•d 00:9 of OO:S woij uopaug asauuduf digspuouj 3o D2pug oql it 116Z tudd $utlianun uu aq Ipm wall pits Aou-I joAuW •.iau3long nquiouipounoo puu 3lasuiiq aoj AI!D oql Aq pind aq Ipm sisoo uoiluliodsutil pappn aH •211102 aq oslu IIpA aj!m siq puu jz"ong .iaquuuuliouno3 •;)j!m siq puu 3iasuuig 2uipnloui iuoA sigl 2ui02 saln5alop Aiitgi ,Clainuumiddu aq llinn alagj, •unduf `unnusiW of uoiiu2alap u puas of spulop ouiziluug uaaq stq uoiltioossd AiiD iaisiS aqI pappn OH •luAiisa3 uuossolg alddd aql ao3 AailuA DagoluuaA, aqi ui aq Ilion uoiit2alDQ twesiN t00Z aqi puu nlnznS ioAuW pits Aou-I ioAuW •nnaimalui Isul aql Suponpuoo JOIJU saiouuouA aqI Iig IiiM aq pappn OH •AIloa.npui 30 Alloalip ioglia `ut panlonui si AliD aqI sualu iagio ui isa.iolui auuos anuq Atuu Aagl iagl;)gm paaoldxa aq salupipuuo agl $ulMOiAialui Dlignn pins aH oAq Aluo loofas of ping aq Ilion ii puu pogiltnb Alluuoiidaoxa on, saltpipuuo aql Iiu lugl Pius PH •lonpuoo of nnaiA.ialui ltuoilippn Duo pug puu snnaiA.ialui uan.as polonpuoo pnq ag Pius aH •uoissiunuoD 2uiuuuld agJ uo suoilisod JuuotA OMI D.it Dlagl Pius Aot7 J04vW •saoiAlas Paptnotd Alin 3o IDAaI agl uo IoaJ3t sli puu uoiluxauuu slgSiaH lDgouu,d Dill Inogt potmouoo oslu suns aq pits aawIong nquiauupounoo •snonSiluoo Iou Diu slaploq Aliadoud aqi st sonssi lolluq olujudos aq pinom Dsagl pappn OH •oilgnd aqI do aJoA u 10J lolluq Ilu3 aqI uo sonssi uoiluxauuu aqI Suiould polsaggns OH •sliunl Apo luasaid aqI 3o Isua aqi of put glnos oql of tare xauuu of .iDjaid pinonn oq pits Aourl .ioArW t00Z `6 HDdVW S3lfIN W'IIDNnOD 9RHDIVNRM ISda 10 YU13 CITY OF EAST WENATCHEE COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 9, 2004 Council Action: A motion was made by Councilmember Raab, second by Councilmember DeWitt to appoint the Mayor to the Douglas County Solid Waste Advisory Committee.
