PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
PRESENTATION
Dave Schwab of the Eastmont Metropolitan Park District (EMPD) said the EMPD is required to have a
Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan on file with various agencies to assist in planning and with State
agencies to qualify for Grants for new Capital Construction. He said the Board of Commissioners of the
EMPD are asking constituents to provide input into programs, program costs, facilities, and potential new
facilities by completing a survey.
Mr. Schwab showed a sketch of a potential new park which will be located near 4`h Street SE and SE
Mary Avenue. He said Tina and Elliott Skull have donated seven and a half acres to the EMPD to build
and maintain the park. He said based on the conditions of the donation the EMPD are asking the
constituents of the Eastmont Metropolitan Park District to approve a twenty year bond in the amount of
approximately two million dollars for the development of the park.
CITIZEN COMMENTS
Jennifer and Sam Thacker of 1108 10`h Street NE, expressed their concerns regarding the "No Parking"
on 10`h Street NE. Ms. Thacker said she lives between James Avenue and Iowa Avenue which is included
in the proposed ordinance listed on the agenda. She said this would restrict her from parking in front of
her home, and there is no other parking available. Ms. Thacker recommended no parking on 10`h Street
NE, between Grover Avenue and Iowa Avenue.
Mayor Lacy said he would like to limit parking to solve the problem, not to create further problems.
DEPARTMENT REPORT
Interim Street Superintendent Brandon Mauseth updated Council on the Street Improvement Projects
which include; the Central Business District Project, Eastmont Avenue Project, Rock Island Road Project,
Kenroy School — Safe Routes to School, and Highline Drive and Pace Drive Overlay.

CITY OF EAST WENATCHEE COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 22, 2007
Mayor Lacy said at a previous meeting we discussed contributing funds toward a mural on the building
adjacent to the city parking lot on Valley Mall Parkway. He said in order to move forward with the
project he would like to recommend a budget amendment to increase the city theme budget by $3,000 to
potentially participate in this project. He added the Downtown Association would share in the expense of
the mural.
Community Development Director Barnett said a bank in town has offered to donate additional funds
towards the mural. The Downtown Association has asked if the City could accelerate the process so that
this donation can be accepted and used towards this project. She said she should have a cost estimate for
the mural by the next Council meeting. She added the Downtown Association has discussed changing the
image of the downtown and have discussed adding street furniture and streetscapes.

DISCUSSION / ACTION ITEMS
07-05-07 A discussion regarding no parking in front of certain addresses along Jackie Lane.
The City Attorney Devin Poulson said he had received a letter from the Jackie Lane Home Owners
Association which included a map of addresses where they would like the yellow striping painted on the
curb.
Council discussed the proposal and whether all the curbs should be painted for no parking rather than a
selected portion. They also discussed whether placing the no parking signs on 10`h Street will take care of
the problem on Jackie Lane. Council decided to table the issue until we see what the repercussions of the
no parking on 10t" Street will be.
07-05-08 A discussion regarding amending the Contract for Professional Services with Ralph
Aiken III, allowing for compensation of additional hours worked.
Mayor Lacy said Ralph Aiken III, has been spending twice the amount of time working on the City
