MAYOR'S REPORT Mayor Lacy said he had met with Richard Sullivan regarding the old junior high property on Ninth Street and at this time there is nothing new to report to City Councilmembers. Mayor Lacy thanked the Wenatchee World for their gratis in printing the Wenatchee Valley Sister City Wenatchee Valley 2005 Delegation brochure. He said there will be 22 Delegates going to Misawa, Japan this year including Councilmember McCourt. Mayor Lacy said the City has estimated it will take three years for funding to be received from taxes, property taxes and sales tax revenues in the proposed annexation area to re -pay the County under the pre annexation agreement. He said the City will formally suggest that proposal to the County so as not to have an impact on the City's operational or capital budget. Mayor Lacy said the basement offices are close to completion and that City staff will occupy two of those offices creating additional space upstairs. CITY OF EAST WENATCHEE COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 28, 2005 Mayor Lacy said at the May 24. 2005 Council meeting, Council approved the expenditure of up to $6,000.00 from Stadium Funds to purchase a stage for the purpose of tourism related events. After further research it has been determined the stage will cost more due to a larger size commensurate to that which is used at Memorial Park during the Apple Blossom Festival. He said the larger stage would require an additional $4,000.00 to purchase and would like to purchase the stage from Current Expense funds rather than Stadium Funds. City Attorney Zimmerman explained the City is limited to tourism use of the stage if purchased from Stadium Funds. Therefore, if the City decides to loan out or use the stage for an event other than tourism it would not be an acceptable use. Council Action: A motion was made to purchase the stage in an amount up to $10,000.00 from Current Expense, repealing the earlier decision of using Stadium Funds for the purchase by Councilmember Raab, second by Councilmember DeWitt. The motion carried, 6-0. CONSENT CALENDAR Council Action: A motion was made to approve the consent calendar as presented by Councilmember McCourt, second by Councilmember DeWitt. The motion carried, 6-0. 1. Consideration of minutes -- Regular Session, June 14, 2005 2.

ACTION ITEM 05-06-03 Approval of an agreement between the City of East Wenatchee and Stoneridge Homeowners Association concerning occupancy of City right-of-way to construct a fence along 1380 Eastmont Avenue and authorization for the Mayor to sign said agreement. Community Development Director Barnett said the Stoneridge Homeowners Association would like to construct a 48 inch tall segmental, decorative stone -faced fence along the Eastmont Avenue frontage. She said there is an existing wall/fence segment that was constructed by the City when Eastmont Avenue was widened. Stoneridge Homeowners would like to attach their fence to either end of the existing wall to finish off the frontage improvements for their project. Stoneridge Homeowner Bob Curtis showed pictures of what the wall/fence will look like. City Attorney Zimmerman said there has been an addition to the agreement paragraph 7 which states the City may remove without destroying the fence and return it to the Stoneridge Homeowner Association. •Su1Iaaw pleog Bulu.cMOE) NS-d SOOZ `9 aunf oql wolf salnulw pall!wgns n!MaQ aagwowpounoo •Infoid owoq,l, fllo aqI IOJ piunnd luawanargod ludioiunW SOOZ Ia^IIS aqI paAIaoal f4!D aqI gocgnn ui uoagouni piunnu 3T papualle aq pappt, aH •3ouw3juo3 iunuud sail!D uolButgsum Jo uolleloosstl oql popuallt, ILgI BUIS puu sloupuaH 13gwowl!ounoD `unoDoW sjogwawliounoD po lut,gl Xou-1 loXvW •Suilaaw Od.LdDN SooZ `8 aunf aqI woij solnuiw pall!wgns s13"PuaH ngwawpounoo •oouosqu siq Suilnp Bu►laaw (Od L2IMDI) uoileziuu2io 2uiuuuld uotlullodsuuj L Iuuoi0ag Iualuao glloN oql 2u!puallu JOJ sN 3"PuaH logwowpounoD po3luegl lo"ong lagwowpounoD •uollujopisuoo puu uoissnos►p aaq:prg joj pounoo of olqulienu opt,w oq pinonn suoildo jo Is►l u lugl pop►oop suns I► uoissnosip pounoo ialjV •I►nll aanl-1 aqI uo saaj luawaSeuew Mum waols i?uipluSal suoildo luaiajj►p passnosip weal luawafeutW ful?Ifl ialuM wiolS aqI pcus iowwaig lagwowpounoD SlHodaw 11I3NfIo3 •aNrld 3SN3dx3 IN3umfla 3HI do IN3WINVdaa IN3WNHaAO9 lVH3N39 3HI 01 SHVI10a aNVSaOHI N31 Qad 01 JL39(Iflg SOOZ 33HDIVN3M ISd3 30 A113 3HI 9NIQN3WV . !£0-SOOZ H39WfIN 21DNdNIaH0 9NIaN3Wd 33HDIVN3M ISd3 AO AIIO 3HI 30 'II0NflO0 AIID 3H.L 30 2IJNdNIaH0 Nd so-so:W38WfIN 213NdNIQHO Xluwwns oouuu►pio aqI peal bu-I io,CtW •0-9 `paiueo uorlow aqZ �awwa�g ragwawliouno� Xq puooas `u!MaQ iagwawliounoD Xq pun3 asuadxg IuaunD aqI of saullop puusnogl uaI ppu of £0-SOOZ 'ON aoueutplo 5u►puowu aouuwpio aql Idope of apew seen uorlow d :uoilad 1tauno3 •0-9 `poiueo uorlow oql *u!AkoQ aagwawliounoo Xq puooas `lowwalg aagwouipounoo Xq 2urpuol puooas of pun3 asuadxg luauno aqI of slullop puusnogl uol ppu of £0-SOOZ -ON ooueuiplo 2uupuawe aoueurpio aqI alenala of apew Sum uorlow d :uoilad 1iaunoD •pun3 asuadxg luaunD aqI of slullop puusnogl uol ppu of paU►pow nnou si aouuuipao aqI a2els aql SuipivSoi uoisioap put, uocssnosip .railiva aqI glinn p►us Aoeg ioxuw •pun3 asuadxg luaunD aql jo luawlredaQ Iu3wul0no0 Iu.rauaO oql of slellop puusnogl Mg ppu oI LO-SOOZ ON aout,ulplo Ouipuawe aout,utp.ro ue 30 Burpt,01 ISII q t,0-90-9O 33NdNIQHO 0-9 paraauo uorlow oq L •aau3long .ragwowpounoo Xq puooas `.iawwaag aagwawpounoD Xq sluownoop , lvss000u aqI uSis of .rofuW aqI ortaoglnu put, ,Gunn jo-lg0ii A4!D jo Xouudn000 Buiunouoo uorlu►oossd slaunnoawoH ai?puauolS aqI put, aagoluuoM Ist,g jo ,CI►0 aqI uoannlaq IuawaaJSU pag!pow aqI anoiddu of opuw suns uorlow d :uoilad Ilaunoa SOOZ `8Z gNmf SglflNIW 'II0NIIOD 99HD.LVNaM .LSd9 30 AID CITY OF EAST WENATCHEE COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 28, 2005 EXECUTIVE SESSION At 7:45 p.m. Mayor Lacy called a 10 minute executive session regarding potential litigation.
