PRESENTATION
Jay Kehne, Resource Conservation and Development, and Jennifer Korfiatis, North Central Washington

MAYOR'S REPORT
Mayor Lacy said he received a letter from the Wenatchee Valley Humane Society (WVHS) proposing a
change to the section 6.04.050 of the East Wenatchee Municipal Code relating to pet kennel licensing.
According to the current code, in order to issue a pet kennel license, it must be determined that the
proposed use is consistent with the city zoning code as it now exists. Under the current code there is no
place in the city that a pet kennel license could be issued. Council discussed reviewing the ordinance and
bringing the matter back as an action item at a later date to clarify the issue.
Mayor Lacy reported that there said he has received information from two bond agencies with respect to
the Eastmont Junior High School building across the street regarding what the annual payments would be
if the City went ahead with the project. He said he has submitted this information to City Treasurer
Countryman to get an idea as to whether it is possible for the City to engage in such an endeavor without
financial risk. He added he had a discussion with Councilmember Raab today regarding other potential
options such as purchasing property adjacent to City Hall.
Mayor Lacy reported that Classy Chassis parade was deemed by many to be a huge success this year.
Mayor Lacy said with the passing of Misawa, Japan, Mayor Suzuki, he would like to recommend the City
rename the Japanese Garden to commemorate the acts and the life of Mayor Suzuki. He said Mayor
Suzuki was instrumental in the establishment of a Sister City relationship between East Wenatchee and

City Attorney Devin Poulson described some of the features of the new telephone system. He added an
original estimate to replace the system was estimated at approximately $35,000.00. He said the total cost

Council Action: A motion was made by Councilmember McCourt, second by Councilmember Johnson

07-05-03 A discussion regarding parking along Jackie Lane and 10`h Street NE around the area of
the Eastmont Junior High School Baseball Field.
Mayor Lacy said Council recently heard from citizens on Jackie lane expressing their desire to create a no
parking zone on Jackie Land and 10`h Street NE around the area of the Eastmont Junior High School
baseball field.
City Attorney Poulson the Jackie Lane Homeowner's Association submitted a letter with three proposals
to solve the parking problem that the Association claims to exist on Jackie Lane which include posting a
sign on Jackie Lane stating, "No Eastmont Junior High Athletic Field Parking"; require parking permits
for vehicles parking on Jackie Lane; or paint yellow curbing on select sections of Jackie Lane. Mr.
Poulson submitted his opinion of the three proposals and feels the only one that does not violate the Equal
Protection Clause as long as it applied to residents who live adjacent to Jackie Lane and those who do not.
Mayor Lacy said after looking at the areas in question, and upon the opinion of the City Attorney he is
recommending parking be prohibited along 10`h Street NE from Grover Avenue to Kansas Avenue.
