PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE PROCLAMATION Mayor Lacy read a proclamation proclaiming Thursday, May 10, 2007, as "Goodwill Community Appreciation Day". CITIZEN COMMENTS Edna Maguire, 390 NE 13T14 Street, East Wenatchee, addressed the City Council regarding mandatory garbage collection services. She said she would like Council to consider allowing some flexibility in the frequency of garbage collection services or a variable can rate. Council discussed the inconsistency between the Ordinance and the Exhibit relating to senior citizens. Mayor Lacy asked Ms. Maguire to schedule an appointment to meet with the City Attorney and himself to clarify the issue. Dave Bremmer of Bremmer Construction expressed his desire for Council to reconsider passage of an ordinance and resolution on this agenda regarding cost recovery and increasing filing fees for developers. He said as a contractor and developer he feels one of the biggest issues in the valley is affordable housing and does not feel that by increasing these rates it will help towards allowing for affordable housing. He also does not believe the City should move towards hiring a Hearings Examiner which would replace the Planning Commission and Board of Adjustment. Mayor Lacy said a lot of consideration has gone into moving toward this direction, and by changing the fee schedule it will offset actual costs of processing applications. MAYOR'S REPORT Mayor Lacy said he received a letter with signatures from homeowners on Jackie Lane and 10`h Street NE regarding the parking issue. He said this item will be brought forward to the next Council meeting for discussion. •saa3 Bullg of 8uqulai apoD IudloiunW aagoluuaM Isug 3gI30 61 all!JL Pau `81 atl!.L `91 311!Z3o suorpod 8u!puowu aouuuipzo uu3o 8ulpuaa Isii,d CO-b0-LO 33NVNIQ2I0 -0-9 `poimuo uoilow oqs •paluasaid su iupualto luasuoo agl anoiddu of I1!M3CI iaqu 3wpounoo Xq puooas `uosugol iagwawpounoo Xq opuui suns uoilow d :uotlad I!aunoa 'LOOZ `gO-MW JO gluoW aql JOJ `LOOZ `S IIIdd p!ud `I8'£ZL`99Z$JO lunowu Iulol aql u! `£LZSZ ggnolgl 8LI9Z siaqumu Iuunum lloiXud ano.iddt, saop pounoo •pap!on 013M S£981 Puu ` MI `99981 `L£58I `0£S8l gOnolgl bZ58l 109Z81 saagmnu Iut.uuM 'S6'6LZ`619$30 lunouzu lulol oql ui S£981 gBnojgl 81 S8I slaqumu JUL1JLM anoaddu saop pounoD `LOOZ `tiZ I!1dV `altp Slgl jo sd •IlounoD of alqul!t,nu aptux uaaq suq lugl Suilsil u uo papaooai uaaq anuq 060'bZ'Zb MO2I Xq paimbw su pag!liao sut!ulo luawasinqunai asuodxo asogl put 080'bZ'Zb M02i Xq pa.nnbai su nogjo Oull!pnt, aqI Xq pajjpno put, pol!pnu s.iagonoA nuamg s,aol!s!A 79 uolluanuoD ,CalluA aagoluuaM aql loj siagonon Jo It,noiddd £ sll!g jo uorltlap!suOD z LOOZ `0I I!ldV `uoissos juln8ag — salnuiW jo uoijwap!suoO • I Hv(IN3'IdO IN3SNOO •luauilndaQ IuawdolanaQ X4!uncuuzoD aql lapun oltiodo so ,4!D aql jo Iuauzlredap u st, ui pnog sluang aagoltuaM Isug aqI 2utjq of oq pinonn f4!I!q!ssod laglout, pappu OH •,Cmouolnt, nagl �uldaaj nuamg siol!s!A puu uo!Iuanuo3 X3IIVA aagoltuaM aql iapun alwado p.reog sluang aagoltuaM IS aql anuq of s! ,Cl!l!q!ssod iagloud •(9) (o) i0S u io `(£) (o) i05 u npun aluiodo of,Clrl!qu aql anslnd uto pnog sluang aagaluuaM Isug agl pits OH •sasn mou aagoluuaM Isug 3o ,CI!D agl uuod aql u!
