ROLL CALL Councilmember's Present: Councilmember Raab, Councilmember Hendricks, Councilmember Barnhart, Councilmember Buckner, Councilmember McCourt, and Councilmember Johnson. Council Action: A motion was made by Councilmember Raab, second by Councilmember Buckner, to excuse Councilmember Bremmer from this meeting. The motion carried, 6-0. Staff Present: Dana Barnard, Devin Poulson, Lori Barnett, Brandon Mauseth, Randy Harrison, Joan Sims, Catalina Garibay, Dawn Collings, and Nick Gerde. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE CITIZEN COMMENTS Eastmont Metropolitan Parks District Director, Dave Schwab, presented a conceptual drawing of the Veterans Memorial that will be placed on the comer of Grant Road and Georgia Avenue. He said this memorial will consist of six basalt columns with six flags honoring the Military Service Branches: Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and Merchant Marines. Don Speegle, 525 15th Street, East Wenatchee, said that in October of 2008 he brought in a petition requesting repairs be done to 15th Street NE from Eastmont Avenue to Baker Avenue. He said J & K Earthworks installed a pipeline along that stretch of roadway and the street was never repaired properly. He asked when the City plans on completing an overlay project on 151h Street NE. Street Superintendent, Brandon Mauseth, said the City has looked at several options for 15th Street NE and identified it as a Capital Street Improvement Project for 2010. However, that project was removed from the 2010 preliminary budget during the October 27, 2009, City Council meeting. He added the Street Department will conduct maintenance and repairs until an overlay project can be completed. Clyde Paulson, 707 S. Keller Avenue, East Wenatchee, said as a military retiree he is pleased to hear about the Veterans Memorial that will be put up at Eastmont Community Park. Mr. Paulson said he would like to address the telephone utility tax that was adopted by the City last year. He said he is not located within the city limits and since this tax went into effect it has been included on his bill, and even though he has spoken with city employees and the telephone company he continues to receive a utility tax on his telephone bill. He added there are a number of people in the county that are receiving this tax on their bill and he would like to know how this can be rectified. City Treasurer/Finance Director, Nick Gerde, said the City attempted to avoid these billing problems in January before the tax went into effect by notifying the utility companies and cautioning them that the zip code extends beyond City limits. He said the City also provided the utility companies with GPS maps of the city limits and parcel boundaries. Mr. Gerde advised County residents who believe they are being improperly billed to call their service provider regarding the improper billing of the tax. He said he would assist residents if necessary. However, he would need the customer to provide essential information from their bill.

City Treasurer/ Finance Director, Nick Gerde, said the 2010 East Wenatchee Preliminary Budget was made available to Council as well as the public on November 10, 2009. He added that the Stormwater line items in the Preliminary Budget are estimates based upon preliminary guidelines. Therefore, based on action taken on the agenda this evening regarding the Stormwater Utility, there may be a correction to the Preliminary Budget prior to adoption. 09-11-08 First reading of an ordinance amending the 2009 East Wenatchee Budget to appropriate funds for certain items which were not budgeted, but required for City operations.

ORDINANCE NO. 2009-17 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF EAST WENATCHEE, WASHINGTON, AMENDING ORDINANCE NUMBER 2008-18 AMENDING THE CITY OF EAST WENATCHEE 2009 BUDGET. City Treasurer/Finance Director, Nick Gerde, said during 2009 the City has learned that certain ,expenditures were not budgeted during the fall of 2008 and that other unanticipated expenditures were made that the City only learned about during 2009. Consequently, a budget amendment is necessary to acknowledge both of these situations. Mr. Gerde said the funds affected which require an amendment include: the General Fund for the Stormwater Canyon A Project; increased Municipal Court revenues which have resulted in larger pass - through payments to the State; a payment to Douglas County for the Kentucky Annexation Public Works Trust Fund Loan that was missed by both the County and the City until this year, and certain reimbursements of expenses that were either not budgeted or under budgeted. He said with the passage of this amended ordinance, line item budgets will be adjusted to acknowledge these expenditures. Council Action: A motion was made by Councilmember Buckner, second by Councilmember McCourt, to elevate the ordinance to second reading. The motion carried, 6-0. b puu posodoid saAileu.Talle aqi jo Isoui of 2utaatfe fliZ) aqI of oouapuodsomoo luas pun saATiuutalln aqI 2ullopisu03 aural luads suq (qpQ) noloog jo Iuaml.iud3a pres aqS •olup of paun000 suq Iugl ssaootd aql POAXOIA31 aqS '800Z `bZ ounf uo (dWS) umi2oi l ialsvW ouTla.TogS Iuuot2321 fqunoo sul2nocl pasiAW oql pano.idde pounoD /4!D aagoluuaM Isug oql p!us `liauteg ►.tog `ioloaaiQ IuauzdolanaQ f4!unwLuoD 'g LVG HAI DHAAg MV JNIHSI'I9V LSg QNd `gSfld'ID A LI'II9V'HaAHS V JNINI`d.LNOO `(e)i£)08t7*V0L'9£ A&Dd d0 SNOISIA02id alll .LNgWg'IdWI Ol QNH kDO-IODa d0 ,LNgWLXVdAG 3lVLS gH.L Ag (19NIfIbJH S99MVHO gHL 'Jlv-iOd2I00NI O.L `•W`-dDO'Id-dF[LSVW 9NI'IgXOHS 'IVNOIDaH A.IMnOD SV-IJflOQ RHI Ol S LNgWQNgWV JNI LdOCIV (INV LO-80OZ gDNVNIQ2I0 JNIGM3Wd `NO LJNIHSVtA `99HMVNgM LSV9 d0 UIO FI L 30 RDMVNIMdO Nd 81-60OZ 'ON HDNVNICrdO aounutp.io oql jo futpuai Isig puw uosugo f oioduua•L otd ioXtW •saiuugo Boloog jo Iuotu:pudaQ oql ssa.ippe of wvaoid lolsuW ouga.iogS oql 2uipuaute oouuutpao uu jo 2uipeat Is.n3 01-1I-60 (sNol.ipuaH) •hounoD ICI►D aql Jo aloA snouiluuun u jo jonl of anp `I-S poliej uoilow aql •2utpe0.t puooas oI aoueu►p.W aqI alenala of `I.iuquing aaqutauglounoD Xq puoi�w `qwl iaqutaugtounoD q opeut suns uoiloui d moilad liaunoD • oa ?png Xauuicutla'd 01 OZ aqI of suotloauoo odour of paau pinom aq su anssi sigl uo aloA pinonn pounoD moq jo uoiluoipui uu aNil pinonn oq ptus `op.ioD XoIN `iolooaC[ oounui3 •anssi slgl uo ou OuiloA aq llinn aq osuatoui olu.i aql of on p►ns siloupuaH aaquiautltounoD •asua.iout alui agl uo luaututoo oilgnd alul of `60OZ `SI .iaqutaoaQ uo Suiluoq otlgnd luiof u of pounoD ,CIt3 aqI $utltAUT `Xupoi Xj!D aqI of .tonal u pallnugns slauoissitumo f4unoD sulonoa aql Pius Iiau.ieg •sw •asnatout aiut aqi aaptsuoo of plaq oq Isnut Buiwoq otlgnd u poppe aqS •salu.i aqI asnaioui of opoo ludioiunW aagoluuaM Isug aqi puauiu of poluosaid oq ll!m aauuuipio alutedos u `pold000u si osuatout olui aqi puu paldopu si Iai?pnq agl jI •sluautai►nbai I►uuad aql of Suilulai satltl►gtsuodsai pappu oql loj Cud ClunoD pun ,14l0 aql dloq of I IOZ u► asua.ioui S$ Iuuoil!ppe uu puu 01OZ ul I►un ootn.tas aad 0I7$ of Iiun aoiA.ias .iad S£$ uto.ii aseatout owi u sopnlou► oslu la�?pnq oql pappu aqS ,4►liln mjvmuuojs aqI of sasuadxo asogl snout pinom loSpnq pasodold agL •punj osuadxo imlino oql puu spun] luuB Xq pa.tanoo uaaq suq ute.iSotd lugl jo isoo aqi `s.tu3X £ isud aqi ioj lugl pies aqS •iClgtln aalumuuolS aqI g2noigl3loslt Ituuod oql jo isoo aql puu ltuuad lugl Xq pwinbw s1sul taglo puu sloofoad oql .to3 ,Cud of iWisodoid si utna L luam32uuuW Alii!IfI aaiumumiS aqZ •sluautannbaa aounildutoo II asugd utalsXS uoiluutuzilg 32.iugosiQ Iuulnliod luuoiluN aql gi!m paluioossu sisoo sapnlout 102pnq pasodoid oql pies aqS ?[lift aaluM uuoiS aagoluuaM Isug .taluoiD aqi joj paldopu oq isnw Ia2pnq lunuue ue `aagoluuaM Isug jo 44l0 aql puu Ciunoo sul2no(I uaannlaq lu3utaa.i2v luooliolul oql ql!m oouupi000u ui pies `ilau.tug iaorl jolooitc[ luautdolaAaQ fCliunuiuioD olig aouuuiplo aqI puo i uosugo f a.iodwol oil loXuW •01 OZ lo3 132png "iilPfl IMM wl0lS aagoluuaM lseg .tavolD oql 2uildopu oouuuip.io uu 3o 2utpe31 Iszi3 60-1 I-60 0131.ipu3H) • I-S `patuuo uoilout aql go2png aagoluuaM Isug 60OZ OT Suipuauiu aoueutp.to oql Idope of `I.tuqu•tug ioqu owpounoD Xq puooas `.ia"ong iaqutaugiouno3 Xq apuw suns uoiloui d moilaV I►aunoa 600Z `bZ NagWgAON Sg.LfWIW IIONf100 aaHO LVNgM LSdg d0 ALIO CITY OF EAST WENATCHEE COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 24, 2009 requested consideration of minor changes.
