PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
PROCLAMATION
Mayor Lacy read a proclamation proclaiming the week of April 29, 2007 — May 5, 2007, as Native Plant
Appreciation Week.
PRESENTATION
Wenatchee Valley Convention and Visitors Bureau (WVCVB), Executive Director Roger Clute, reviewed
the 2006 annual report. He also reviewed the direct return on investment for the City of East Wenatchee
by looking at everything that was a direct benefit to tourism in East Wenatchee.
DEPARTMENT REPORT
Community Development Director Barnett said City staff and Council have formerly discussed a Hearing
Examiner process. She said the obstacle that has delayed this process is that the current fee structure
would not support hiring a Hearing Examiner. Ms. Barnett submitted a comparison of our current fees and
fees of other local jurisdictions. She said that by adopting a new fee structure the City would re -coupe
actual costs from the permit fees which would include mailings, publications and a Fire Marshall service
fee, and would eliminate the City's expense of these items. Mayor Lacy said he would like Ms. Barnett to
submit a draft of a new fee structure for Council review.
MAYOR'S REPORT
Mayor Lacy said he attended a meeting today with Blodgett Construction and Community Development
Director Barnett regarding the former school property across the street. He said they discussed what the
cost to the City would be if a portion of that property was purchased for the purpose of relocating some of
the City departments. He added the City has established a significant need for more space as we have out
grown the space we currently have.
