As of this date, October 9, 2007, Council does approve warrant numbers 19273 through 19314 in the total amount of $183,512.56. Council Action: A motion was made by Councilmember DeWitt; second by Councilmember Barnhart to adopt the consent agenda as presented. The motion carried, 5-0. ACTION ITEMS 07-10-01 Authorization for the Mayor to sign "Purchase and Sale Agreement" and "Permit to Enter Upon Real Property" for each of the properties located at 180 Rock Island Road, 200 Rock Island Road, 209 & 213 Rock Island Road, 225 Rock Island Road, and 226 & 300 Rock Island Road, for right-of-way acquisitions as part of the Rock Island Road Project. (Devin Poulson, City Attorney). City Attorney Poulson said this is part of the right-of-way expansion for the Rock Island Road Project. He said the purchase price is the appraisal price plus what the engineers have calculated to remove the vegetation. He added the City hopes to have all the land purchased by the end of the month. Council Action: A motion was made by Councilmember Hendricks; second by Councilmember Raab to authorize the Mayor to execute the necessary documents to purchase right-of-way and pen -nits to enter upon property for the Rock Island Road Project. The motion carried, 5-0. EXECUTIVE SESSION At 7:20 p.m. Mayor Lacy called a twenty minute executive session regarding Potential Litigation and Potential Acquisition of Property. Council reconvened at 7:35 p.m. Potential Litigation Mayor Lacy said Douglas County Superior Court Judge John Hotchkiss has reversed his decision which will allow the East Wenatchee Water District to expand into 4,000 rural acres east of East Wenatchee. He said we had a decision by the court that indicated at one point in Judge Hotchkiss' view that the expansion of the water district was violative of the Growth Management Act because of the fact that it was for urban development outside the Urban Growth Boundary. Now Judge Hotchkiss has indicated that while he believes that to be the case he can not say that based on additional law that has been provided to him that the decision of the Boundary Board was clearly erroneous in that regard. Council Action: A motion was made by Councilmember Raab, second by Councilmember DeWitt to authorize the Mayor and City Attorney to appeal the recent decision by Judge Hotchkiss reversing himself with respect to the expansion of the Water District. The motion carried, 3-1. (Councilmember Barnhart) (Councilmember McCourt abstained) Mayor Lacy said that by doing an appeal to get a reversal because the City still feels this does violate our Comprehensive Plan, but more importantly a decision by a Superior Court Judge is not precedent for any future decision making. In other words, in the future if there are issues like this decision of Judge p.Tuung uuua V w'd SS:L — LNHWNHflOfaV 'LOOZ `£Z IsnSnd uo plaq 2utlaaw luin2al aagoluuaM jo XIlZ) aqI V flunoZ) uulagD jo (4i.ioglnV 2utsnoH aqI wojj solnu►w palltwgns linoDow logwauti!ounoD 'LOOZ `01 .TagwaldoS uo plaq $utlaaW pjuog )IiomgoN lioddns IuuoTiia-a sq!?noQ-uulag3 wotj salnuiw palliwgns u!AMaQ ngwatupounoD 'LOOZ `£I-iogwoldaS uo ploq �?utlaaiu (DIAM) pounoD uotlulaodsml A311RA aagoluuaM aql Puu `•LOOZ `ZI iagwoldas plaq `2utlaaw (CIVDII MCI) pounoo IuawdolanaQ UOIILA13SUOD puu oolnosa-g uolButgsuM IualuoD gllom oql puu (QQg) Io►_TIsiCl IuawdolanaQ oIwouoog aql woij solnutw polltwgns jawiong .Tagwowllounoo •auaX 2uTwoo aqp ioj Iluo .Tad SL'Z£$ Xud Illm puu lluo .Tad 90't£$ sXud Al►o all CIjuaijno •sooiAios goluds►p Xoua2.Taw3 .ToJ `00'Li8`bSZ$ oq Illm ivoX ixau loj pa2pnq s,aagoluuaM Isug ptus OH -jim� snotnaad aql wo.T3 000`OZ$ do on, aagoluuaM Isug jo XCITD aqI ioj sonuana.T oql puu 2upootu Opng u puq utoo.TanT-d Iugl paproda.T p.requ.Tug aagwowllounoD Sluodad 7IaNfloD '0-S `paia.tuo uotlout oql •Outlaaw sigl 2utinp possnostp uaaq suq su HUH fq!Z) 3o uoisuudxa aqI ioj Xhss000u su suotlt'go2m fgjodoid olui .talus of lo/CuW oqp oziioglnu of sIOUPuaH .Tagwatupounoo Xq puooas `.IItMaQ jogwawliounoD Xq apuw suns uogow d :uogaV paunoa lWilaow pounoD stgl Outanp possnostp put, posodoid uaaq suq pugl uotlowip oql u► uoTlon.tlsuoo puu uoisuudxa 2wnsind jo uoilowip oql ui an.ow of aNil pinonn pounoD ptus Xoug loxiew •uollout aql of puooas s►q nna.Tpglinn s3l3t.tpu3H jagwatu pounoD `X:padotd soldwus agl jo osugoind aqI aoj suo►Iuilo�au olut aaluo of ioXuW oql Sutzt.toglnu uotlow oql nnaaptlltne pp►moCl aagw3wjt3uno3 moipV Iiaunoa •auo Isnf uugl lzglua sorpadoid aa.tgl Ilu Suisugoind olupoSou f4!0 aql oas aaglua pinonn aq ptus quad logwawpounoD -kvado.Td soldmS oqljo osugoind oqlioj suotltgo0ou olu► .talus of lokaW oql azl.Toglnu of sIotapuaH iogwawl!ounoD Xq puooas `•II►MaQ aagwowliounoo Aq opuw suns uotlow d :uo[pad Ilaunoa Spadoad;o uoillsinbad Iu►lualod •ouop oq uuo stgl Tagpagnn oinlrtj aqI u► nnoul lltnn XpoqXaana puu Ilu 10J puu aouo ansst aqp an.Iosaa lllM ann `:pnoD awaadnS aqI .To sluaddd jo lanoD aqI !3uluuaw `pl000l jo linoo u Xq uotstoap u IO2 puu lanai pxau aql of 02 aM JI •puapooatd Iou st IT osnuoaq Ig0iom Xuu naq you pinonn I► ssllgoloH LOOZ `6 IMOIDO S2[J flld W 'IIDNflOO g2[HD.LVRHM ISd3 JO AID
