Staff Present: Dana Barnard, Lori Barnett, Bob Goodman, Teresa Allen, Randy Harrison, and Chuck Zimmerman. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE DEPARTMENT REPORT Street Superintendent Goodman gave an update on the Grover Street Project. He said Celebration Lutheran Church is obligated to provide curbs, gutters, and sidewalks and widening 300 feet of the street in Phase I of their project totaling approximately $12,000.00. Phase II includes completion of the remainder of the church frontage on Grover Avenue totaling $26,414.00 based on their independent engineer estimate. Celebration Lutheran Church has $12,000.00 budgeted for Phase I and only $9,000.00 at this time toward Phase II for the Grover Street Project. Mr. Goodman said the City could let Celebration Lutheran Church do their portion of Phase II and connect to the City project or the City could do a latecomers agreement with Celebration Lutheran Church to re -coup the full $26,414.00 of Phase II if the church develops within a fifteen year period. Or the City can accept the $21,000.00 from the church and the City can construct the church improvements with the City project. Mr. Goodman mentioned that putting off the project would likely increase the cost to the City, and staff believes it to be the best interest of the City to complete the project now using the funds available. Mayor Lacy said he has discussed the different options with Mr. Goodman and City Attorney Chuck Zimmerman. He added there are no other major projects scheduled this year and he would like to see this project completed. Council Action: A motion was made to authorize the Mayor to execute appropriate documentation to accept $21,000.00 from Celebration Lutheran Church and move forward with completion of the project this year without a latecomers agreement by Councilmember Buckner, second by Councilmember McCourt. The motion carried, 4-1. Councilmember Bremmer abstained. Street Superintendent Goodman said part of the Douglas County Badger Mountain Road Project involved purchasing 1.3 acres of the Peach Haven Development for a storm water retention pond that would take in CITY OF EAST WENATCHEE COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 26, 2005 water from Badger Mountain and the City. He said with this being the County's project they negotiated an agreement to purchase the property from the Peach Haven developer for $103,000.00. In working out the language and conditions with the attorney for the County and the attorney for the developer it became apparent that they wanted the City storm water utility to own the retention pond. He added he has had City Attorney Zimmerman working on reviewing the language of the document. Mr. Zimmerman explained that a provision in the Interlocal Agreement with the County for the Storm Water Utility, all facilities are owned by the jurisdiction where the facility is located. Since the pond is in the City, the City must own it. In response to a question from Councilmember Hendricks, Community Development Director Barnett explained that the pond will be maintained by the City using Storm Water Utility funds. Councilmember Bremmer said he is concerned with issues of fairness regarding the building of a retention pond for a developer. Community Development Director Barnett said it is difficult at this point because the City was not involved in any of the negotiations. She added the County negotiated a price of $103,000.00 for the 1.3 acres which included giving away utilization of the storm water facility. She added the lots in the sub division are selling for $50,000.00 to $60,000.00 each. She said the developer will have to construct their own bio filtration system which will basically clean the water before it gets into the pond. She also said she has inserted language that the covenants of the sub division and on their plat that they do construction site runoff controls because if the pond gets silted up it will be ruined. Council Action: A motion was made to authorize the Mayor to sign the necessary documents to accept ownership of the storm water retention pond at the appropriate time by Councilmember DeWitt, second by Councilmember Hendricks. The motion carried, 5-0. CONSENT CALENDAR Council Action: A motion was made to approve the consent calendar as presented by Councilmember DeWitt, second by Councilmember McCourt.
