PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
PROCLAMATION
Mayor Lacy read a proclamation proclaiming the City of East Wenatchee's support for the 2007
Washington State Special Olympics Winter Games.
PRESENTATION
Wenatchee Valley Misawa Sister City Association President Tim Detering thanked the City for their
ongoing support of the association and invited Councilmembers to join as part of the delegation in 2007
to Misawa, Japan. He added the deadline for applications is February 16, 2007.
Okanogan County Transportation & Nutrition (OCTN) Executive Director Leanne Leifer said their
organization provides home delivered meals in Chelan County, Douglas County, and Okanogan County,
to seniors 60 years of age or older who are unable to leave home unassisted. Ms. Leifer said federal and
state funding sources do not cover the cost of providing the service and OCTN does what they can to raise
money within the communities to supplement the shortfall. She asked Council to consider supporting the
organization in the amount of $800.00. She added Okanogan County, Chelan County, Douglas County
and the majority of cities in Chelan and Douglas Counties contribute to OCTN.
Mayor Lacy said he asked the City Attorney for a legal analysis regarding the request as he is aware that
there are limitations regarding the gift of public funds. City Attorney Poulson submitted a memo to
Mayor Lacy stating that it would not violate the State Constitution to allocate money to provide meals to
seniors who are poor and/or infirm. However, if the meals were available to all seniors, even those who
are not poor and not infirm, then the allocation of funds would be unconstitutional. Mayor Lacy said that
in order not to make a gift of public funds we need to be concentrating our gifts toward the poor in our
community and asked if it was possible to limit or direct our donations toward the low income seniors
rather than just contributing generally to the program. Ms. Leifer said she can review the East Wenatchee
recipient applications which list their financial capabilities. She added that the City can place a criterion

CITY OF EAST WENATCHEE COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 13, 2007
County receives $1,000.00 for a Comprehensive Plan amendment and $950.00 for a rezone. She added
there is a significant amount of costs involved in processing the application. She said she would propose
adopting the procedure next year and by adopting this procedure the City would be consistent with all
other jurisdiction located in the county. She added the County starts their process in March for their
Comprehensive Plan zone change amendments and the City starts their process in October. She would
like to mesh the two together. She said at this time she in not willing to make a recommendation that we
start taking that on. If Council feels differently she can work in that direction but at this point she would
recommend we contact the County Commissioners and say lets gear up for this transition next year we
appreciate being on a level playing field with the rest of the communities in Douglas County but she does
not feel she can take that on this year.
Mayor Lacy asked if this was a manpower issue or a dollar issue or a combination of both. He said the
City can solve the dollar issue by ordinance raising the fees for those processes. If it is a manpower issue
due to the workload already in the pipeline he would certainly support waiting. Ms. Barnett said it is a bit
of both, but this year it is definitely a manpower issue. She listed several projects she is working to
complete this year. Mayor Lacy said he is concerned the issue will go away if it is tabled. Ms Barnett said
she started an outline of what needs to happen in order for the City and County to mesh this process
together. She said the City does not have the statutory authority to make changes in the Urban Growth
Boundary outside the city limits, and would recommend an Interlocal Agreement with Douglas County
stating that these are the things we are going to do, how we are going to do it. Ms. Barnett recommended
we work on an Interlocal Agreement and put together a timeframe to list the activities needing completion
in order to prepare for next year. She added that she does not want this opportunity to go away, this is
something the Country Commissioners have recognized and she feels it is an important event in their
recognizing that we should have some control over our UGA.
Mayor Lacy asked Ms. Barnett if she would be willing to submit a schedule stating a timeline for getting
this done and to outline any additional needs, so that we can present that to the County. Ms. Barnett
indicated she would do so.
MAYOR'S REPORT
Mayor Lacy said he has received letters from 12`h District Representative Cary Condotta, and 12`h District
Representative Mike Armstrong, in response to a letter he had sent asking for their support in regards to
the Attorney Generals opinion of how cities may or may not use Hotel/Motel tax dollars.

CITY OF EAST WENATCHEE COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 13, 2007
07-02-11 Approval of an agreement between the North Central Washington Community Bank
(NCWCB) and the City of East Wenatchee concerning occupancy of City right-of-way
on 3`d Street SE for excess parking and landscaping.
Community Development Director Barnett said the City is not giving the property to NCWCB. The bank
is improving the right-of-way and using it until such time that it is needed for street improvements in that
area.
Mayor Lacy suggested that language be added to read that this is being done in consideration for the
landscaping and maintenance obligation.
Councilmember Hendricks feels a right turn lane is needed at that intersection and is not in favor of
approval.
Council Action: A motion was made by Councilmember McCourt, second by Councilmember Johnson
to approve the agreement for occupancy of right-of-way with the suggested added language. The motion
carried, 5-1. (Hendricks)
