PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE CITIZEN COMMENTS Eastmont Metropolitan Park District (EMPD) Commissioner, Fred Walk, representing the Park District said that the EMPD has placed a $7,360,000.00 bond issue on the November 6, 2007, general election ballot. He said the proposed 20 year bond would cost homeowners 21 cents per $1,000.00 of assessed property value in addition to the 35 cents per $1,000 they already pay for ongoing operations of the EMPD. He added passage of the bond by 60% of the voters in the district will allow construction of a waterslide park, development of a new park, and improvements to existing facilities. Mr. Walk said the water slide park would be built just south of the Eastmont YMCA Aquatic Center and would include two waterslides, a zero depth entry to a recreation pool, and a children's play area. Additional parking would also be part of the project. He said the new park would be built on eight acres of donated land on Fourth Street Southeast near Clovis Point Intermediate School. The traditional "passive" park would be the first serving the eastern part of the EMPD and would have playgrounds, picnic shelters, a water feature, and trails. He added the Eastmont Community Park, Tedford Park and Kenroy Park are in need of capital improvements if they are to continue to serve thousands of people each year. Improvements would include playground equipment replacement, repairs to structures in all three parks, and a new restroom at Kenroy Park. PRESENTATION Chelan Douglas Health District, Marc Marquis, Environmental Health Director gave a presentation regarding local mosquito control. He said effective integrated pest management control requires the following elements: Public education regarding self protection (avoidance/clothing/repellants); Source control to eliminate breading sites; Larvaeciding to destroy developing mosquito's; and targeted adulticiding/spraying as required to reduce excess adult insect populations. Mr. Marquis also discussed the benefits of establishing a local Integrated Pest Management Plan and key elements of a pest management program. He gave the city a sample package of Larvaecide control pellets to try in local detention ponds and other areas of concern. •aouuXanuoo aql alaidwon of Suilliuuad pun u2isap aqI gsiug oI pwinbw spun3 luuoilippu oq llin.\ olagl pappu aqS •paainboj goluuz luaonad uaagg u si alagl pappu aqS -spun] osogl jo Iuowoouidw u ioj )Isu of 2uio2 aau oM '00'058`Zt,$ aqI wniaj of puq Xliuoisuq ann os `pualxo lou pip any Iugl lunowu uiulno u zoj suns uuol uoponaisuooaad aqI plus uauaug •sW •2uipun3 luuoiiippu aoj Ino oB of paau ann woplagj -uuol uoilonlisu000id aql Ianoo oI iva[ogjns lou si lunowu all puu uuol lugl jo luawaouldan ioj o2 of paau puu uuol uopongsuooand Iugl no3 suoisuoixa nno oql jo IIu do pasn anuq ann puu )pone jo adoos aqI ui aBuugo u op of puq ann inq uuol uoponjisuooald u anuq ann pins nounug -SW aanig nigwnloo aqI of onuaAV luoWlsug WOJJ aouu,Canuoo u St 13glo aql puu `anuand ,Vuyg puu IaajlS P,£ in uoilualap u 2uiaq auo `sooaid onnl olui papinip si goignn loofoad d uoXuuD all of palula.i sill plus u3wug •syg •('I3LMd) uno-i punj IsniL s�InoM oilgnd agl glinn juiliuzuj isow si a2un� •sw su sigl Ouip r2w Nuods oslu o0uuZ .Toj!uuof anuq 1pm oqs pins u3wug t.io'I `noiooniQ luacudolanaQ 44!unwwoo •Ouipunj d uoXuuD — ,,�ililfl iojuM uuolS ftpiuSai uotlou algissod puu uoissnosicl ZO-80-LO •0-9 `pai.uuo uoilouu oql •Suilinsuoo oouuilid qpm saoiAn S luuoissajoid noj luowoo.12V lulu3tuolddnS aql ano.zddu of quug jociwougiounoo Xq puooas `sNOlIpuaH iogcuaugiounoD Xq opuw suns uotiow d :uoilov ipunoa •Ioofond sigl apnioui oI luowaaa?d Omisixo aqI of luauzalddns u 2uip oww000l si aqS •wwOold .xaisEW auila.IogS luuoiOag oql puu `suoiluln2ag suajd Iuoili1O `suoilningaz ivauidolanap aqi of aiupdn aqI uo oouulsissu ioj 2upinsuoD aouuiild giim luau[0312d saainiaS luuoissaJond u suq Spuauno ,�!O aql plus aqS •uuld 3ntsuag3jdwo3 uand aagoluuaM Isug aalwiD all oI alupdn Isnl aqI Ouunp innoiddu 3o uoilipuoo u su (dqn) 01V glnno.i[) uugifl aagoluuaM Isug oql jo nnaina.z u pojinbaa liounoo 44i0 oql pies ilaung ioloaniCl IuawdolanaQ X4!unwuzoD •sisXluuu ua.IV glnno.

Mayor Lacy said he would like to see an analysis as to the repayment of funds before we make a decision to authorize additional funding. He said he would like to see repayment costs prior to authorization of specific figures. Ms. Barnett said due to time constraints the Storm Water Utility is replacing and changing the scope of work for the original proposal. She said that amount has not increased and the money was returned and replaced with a new PWTFL. Ms. Barnett said Storm Water Utility is asking for concurrence to replace the funding that was returned. Council agreed by consensus to approve replacement funding in the amount of $42,850.00. Councilmember Raab said with this being a large portion of work needing to be completed prior to the Interchange work that the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) will be performing along the highway the Storm Water Utility may be caught in a bind where pay as you go may not work. Ms. Barnett said if we acquire a PWTFL we would be able to complete the conveyance on Valley Mall Parkway and Highway 28 prior to WSDOT starting the Interchange Project in 2008. Ms. Barnett asked Council to attend a Critical Areas Meeting to be held on September 5, 2007, at 6:30 p.m. at East Wenatchee City Hall. She added this will be an opportunity for City Council to discuss this with the Douglas County Board of Commissioners. Ms. Barnett said she has hired Greg Story Jr. as the Associate Planner.
