LACY, PRESIDING SEPTEMBER 11, 2007 6:30 P.M. ROLL CALL Councilmember's Present:, Councilmember Buckner, Councilmember Barnhart, Councilmember Johnson, Councilmember Raab, Councilmember Hendricks, Councilmember DeWitt, Councilmember McCourt, and Mayor Lacy. Staff Present: Dana Barnard, Lori Barnett, Joan Sims, Catalina Garibay, Linda Countryman, Randy Harrison and Devin Poulson. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE PROCLAMATION Mayor Lacy read a proclamation designating the month of October I" through October 31", 2007, as United Way Month in Chelan and Douglas Counties. CITIZEN COMMENTS Alan Smith, 481 15t' Street NE, expressed concerns for potential flooding to his property as a result of structural changes to the right-of-way in front of his driveway resulting from the recent road construction. Mr. Smith asked Council to consider his request for a review of the facts and circumstances concerning replacing (or partial funding) the retaining wall and completing improvements to the right-of-way, and acknowledging his concerns about other features of the project. He invited Council to come to his home and view these concerns. Mayor Lacy said he has looked at the concerns identified by Mr. Smith along with City Attorney Poulson, and had spoken with Mr. Goodman prior to his retirement. He said his concern with these types of projects is that people understand that what happens on City right-of-way. People often utilize the City right-of-way as they choose and generally the City says nothing about it as it does not do the City any harm until they need the right-of-ways to build on, or make changes to it. However, that does not create any rights of the citizenry in the right-of-ways and it is not the City's obligation to provide citizens with surface material in the right-of-way that allows them to landscape. He added the other issue is whether or not the City has created a situation in which we have either diverted, or further diverted runoff that could cause damage, or further damage to an individual's property. If that is the case it would be a concern on all our parts because diverting an existing water course regardless of how the water source was created in the first place could make it worse, or cause damage to an individual's property which could create a liability situation to a municipality. Mayor Lacy and Council discussed options of creating a berm along the right-of-way to help ease Mr. Smiths concerns. Community Development Director Barnett suggested having the Engineer look at the construction plans and evaluate the property to see if there is a problem and if there is, have the Engineer come up with a solution. z oq X-ew oluwtlso Ioofold oql Iugl u.iaouoo si a.iagl pres aH '00'tLL`59Z`Z$ suns loofoid aqI ololdwoo of Isoo poluwilso aqI `500Z IsnSnd uI '00'Z£L`589$ oq Itpm uoiingt.iluoo s,/ItO oql `gons sd •f%4tO aqI of 114unoo aqI wog loofold luawaousqua aqI do digs.iaumo aqJ 8uiBuugo aopuioo anuand fCxonlua)J aqI Bulpnlout sltwil AI►D u.ialsuo aqI pagsilqulsm uoiluxouuu 900Z oqL •anuand Xjonlua)J uo loofo.id Juawanoidwi Iaasls u luawaldwi of (d`dfl) wul2oid Juilalid uugafl (ql L) p.reog luawan,o.idwJ uoijapodsutu L aqI g2noigl fuipund ioj pailddu Xjunoo sslgnoCl `SOOZ Isn$nd ui plus glasniaW Juopualuilodns IaajjS wualuj •uuo3 uoiluziaoglny 31ss J, oql ais of loXLW aqJ oziioglnu puu loofol(I anuand fjOMua)J aqJ jo sisXluuu Isoo u lonpuoo of 8uinoui2ug ZH-d ioj uoiluzi.ioglnd I0-60-LO shall NOIIJV '0-L `poi.uuo uoilow oq L •poluosaid su upuafu luasuoo aqI Idopu of gsu-J aagwougiounoD Xq puooas `uosugo f .iagwowliounoD Xq apuw suns uoiloui d :uoilaV punoa •papion alarm S895Z g2inojgl Z89SZ puu `0895Z `8L9SZ g2nolgl 9L95Z `bL95Z `£L95Z `0995Z `9S95Z `£595Z g2no.igl 8t795Z `8£9SZ slogwnu luui um Jlo.zfCud 'LOOZ AInf jo gluow aqI .ioj `LOOZ `£ lsnBnd piud `09'9ZS`8LZ$JO Iunowu lulol oql ut `I 1000 g2nolgl 10000 sngwnu Ius.uunn IIoiXtd Jisodop lowip puu S89SZ g2noigl 085SZ s.iaquinu Iurilunn IloiXud an,o.iddu saop Itounoo •papion alarm I£J6I gOnolgl 0£I61 Puu `61I61 `0116I `L9061 saagwnu IuuuuM 'IL'L£0`£OZ$ 3o Iunowu Iulol aql ui L916I g2no-iql 96061 s.iagwnu Juu.i.iunn an,oidds saop pounoo `LOOZ `I I -iagwaldaS `alup sigl jo sd •ItounoD of alqultunu apuw uaaq suq goignn tuilsiI u ui pop.i000i uaaq anuq 060'bZ'Zb MO2I Xq paainba.i su pog!:pQo swiulo luowasingwioi osuadxo asogl puu 080'tbZ'Zb MO?I Xq paunba.i su iaogjo Ouilipnu aqI Xq pogtliao puu poltpns s.iatlonon sllig3o uoiluiapisuo0 Z LOOZ `8Z Isn2nd `uoissaS iujn&-d — salnuiWjo uoilu.iopisuoD • J 2IdQNd'IVD .LN21SN03 '0-L `Painuo uoilow oql •,,f4iodoid luag uodfl .ialug o L Ituuad„ aqI olnooxa of loxvw aqI ozi ioglnu of :pnoDoW .iogwawliounoo Xq puooas `liugwug iagwawliounoD Xq apuw suns uoilow d :uoilad Itounoa -A4jodoid oqljo luawdolanap aqI 2ui.inp 2ui.ids oql ui uiuw pai.inq luouuuuad u llulsui uagl lPm /�4tO aqI pappu OH •loafoid aduospuul s,,cItO aqI alu21.111 of aulJ pusl.zano Xiu.iodwal u llulsui of sn nnollu Ipm Iiw.iad oql JugJ paluls OH -800Z 30 Ouilds aqJ ui �fuijnjs Xpadoid lugl 2uidolanap oq of fto2 si wojj soiugs uoildini .ino lag of 2uloB On ann goignn w iaumo fgiodo.id aqI Ares OJT •anuand luowlsug pus EN IaailS y,6Is loofoid aduospuul aql .ioj ,Xljodoid lua-J uodfl .ialug oZ Itw.iad« u uo a.zn4uu2ls s,ao,CL'W oql oziloglnu of Itounoo paNsu glasnuW luopualuizadnS hails wiloluJ ,L2IOdau .LN2[W LHvdaQ •aalliwwoD Ja2png 800Z aqI of .ioulong .iagwowltounoD puu `:pnoD3W .iagwawltounog `sNoi.ipuOH .iagwawliounoD paluioddu AouJ .iokeW LUOdHH S42IOAVW LOOZ `i 12IggWgLdgS SMANIW 'IIDNMOO E19HOIVNaAc ISV9 AO ALIO CITY OF EAST WENATCHEE COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 11, 2007 out of date and staff believes it would be in the best interest of the city to authorize RH2 Engineering to conduct an analysis of the project and revise the 2005 cost estimate.
