This went before the Superior Court in Douglas County which ruled in favor of the City of East Wenatchee's appeal of an earlier Douglas County Boundary Review Board ruling permitting the East Wenatchee Water District to add the land to its service area. He said until that legal action concluded, Waste Management's Corporate Office was not willing to commit funds for the balance of the year as they did not know if they would be able to move forward with the expansion of the landfill due to the Water District annexation to expand the water service in that area. He added if the appeal period passes without an appeal to the Court of Appeals, Waste Management will know that the expansion can occur enabling them to continue with the GWRLRC expansion. Councilmember Raab said there will be a proposal at the next Solid Waste Advisory Committee (SWAC) meeting in which the Solid Waste will propose purchasing land to build their own transfer station and possibly go out for bid on all aspects of disposal and recycling. Mayor Lacy said he has had several discussions with Mr. Woodard and has had every indication that Waste Management is totally committed to the landfill expansion and to their long term presence in this area. Councilmember Johnson said LINK has approved a study to evaluate if the walking bridge could be used for LINK traffic. Councilmember Buckner said at the last Wenatchee Valley Transportation Council meeting there was discussion regarding recent action taken by the State to increase in car tab fees. He said the County can take action to impose the car tab tax which would directly benefit the area with regards to transportation in the area. ADJOURNMENT — 7:22 p.m. Dana Barnard City Clerk
