08-09-07 A request for approval of Right -of -Way Agreement with CHM Homes, Inc., concerning
occupancy of right-of-way located at the corner of Eastmont Avenue and 10TH Street NE.
Mr. Poulson said according to the construction plans the developer was going to build the required
stormwater infiltration pond entirely on its own property, four feet from the boundary of the City's right-
of-way. Without prior permission, the developer constructed the infiltration pond in such a manner that it
encroaches upon the City's right-of-way. Rather than starting over to construct the pond as originally
planned, the developer has asked the City to enter into an agreement so that the infiltration pond can
remain where it is.
Mayor Lacy asked the Council if anyone objected to him signing the agreement. Hearing no objections
Mayor Lacy said he would sign the agreement.
08-09-08 Approval of the final plat of the Johnson Addition and authorization for the Mayor's
signature -subject to the completion or submittal of items listed.

MOVE 119E1 id.Ld9S S91f1NI W 'IIDNfI0D MLIDIVN9M 1SVR 40 ADD
CITY OF EAST WENATCHEE COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 23, 2008
RESOLUTION
08-09-10 A resolution of the East Wenatchee City Council in support of Proposition No. 1 General
Obligation Bonds for the Eastmont Metropolitan Park District.
Mayor Lacy said at the September 9, 2008, City Council meeting, Council voted to adopt a resolution in
support of Proposition No. 1 General Obligation Bonds for the Metropolitan Park District. He said that in
order to pass a formal resolution he asked City Attorney to draft a resolution to be placed on an agenda
with given notice so that opponents would have an equal opportunity to be heard before such a resolution
was passed.
Mayor Lacy asked if there was anyone in attendance who wished to speak regarding the proposed
resolution.
Council Action: A motion was made by Councilmember Johnson, second by Councilmember Buckner,
to amend Resolution No. 2008-10 to support the proposition No. 1 general obligation bonds for the
Eastmont Metropolitan Park District, which will be on the November 4, 2008, general election ballot. The
motion carried, 6-0.
The title of the resolution reads as follows:
RESOLUTION NO.2008-13
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF EAST WENATCHEE, WASHINGTON, IN
SUPPORT OF PROPOSITION NO. 1 GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS FOR
THE EASTMONT METROPOLITAN PARK DISTRICT, WHICH WILL BE ON
THE NOVEMBER 4, 2008 GENERAL ELECTION BALLOT.
08-09-11 A resolution establishing a uniform system for processing petitions for vacation of right-
of-way.
City Attorney Devin Poulson said the City has not had a uniform procedure for handling petitions for
vacations of right-of-way and it has become necessary to clearly define the role and responsibilities of
persons seeking to have right-of-way vacated and of City staff in administering the petition.
Council Action: A motion was made by Councilmember Johnson, second by Councilmember Buckner,
to adopt the resolution establishing a uniform system for processing petitions for vacation of right-of-way.
Council discussed Section 9 of the resolution regarding dedication of revenue received as compensation
for the area vacated.
Mayor Lacy said in case of a financial bind or concern he could see a situation in which the City might
want to dedicate that revenue somewhere else, Section 9 would seem to prohibit the City from dedicating
that revenue somewhere else. He asked the City Council if they wished to consider an amendment
allowing the City Council to have control over the dedicated revenue to maintenance of public open space
for transportation capital projects.
Mr. Poulson suggested striking section 9 all together.
Councilmember Buckner said he is partial to transportation projects and therefore would like to withdraw
his second to the motion.
