PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE BUDGET ISSUES City Treasurer/Finance Director, Nick Gerde, said according to the City's Finance and Budget Policy adopted by Resolution No. 2009-06, the City Council must approve the annual budget in order to complete the annual financial plan. He said once the City has an approved annual budget he will meet with the budget committee to complete the other elements of the city's annual financial plan which consists of a cash flow for 5 years beyond the budget year; a capital plan; a reserve strategy; a debt strategy; and any other capital plan that the City wishes to embark upon during the next six years. Once the City Council approves the budget he will begin working on a draft of the city's annual financial plan. He would then ask the budget committee to reconvene the first week in January to consider the draft of that financial plan. He added it will then be presented to the City Council for deliberation and approval by resolution. Councilmember Hendricks expressed concerns of adopting a budget without knowing the five year Financial Plan. Mr. Gerde explained the process used to complete the five year Financial Plan. He said although Council has reviewed drafts of the five year Financial Plan based upon an estimate for 2009, that estimate changes through the budget year as cash flow projections change and adjustments are made. Therefore, the starting point for the new five year Financial Plan will be based upon the ending balance of the 2009 Budget. DEPARTMENT REPORTS East Wenatchee Events Board (EWEB) Coordinator, Dawn Collings, introduced her assistant Brooke Black to Councilmembers. Ms. Collings gave a PowerPoint presentation of the 2009 Annual Report for the East Wenatchee Events Board in which she reviewed activities, events, advertising, and goals of the EWEB which works mainly on developing strategies to expand tourism to the East Wenatchee Valley. Mayor Lacy thanked Ms. Collings for all her hard work. •pap!oA suns ZZtZZ aaqutnu luuatuM '8L'£ZO`LZ1$JO iunoutu luiol aqi ui .0I SZZ giinoagl 8tttZZ saaqutnu iutaaunn an,oaddu saop pounoD `600Z `8 aaqutaoaQ `aiup sigl 3o sd salon nd 600Z 'IlounoD of olqupunu oputu uaaq suq goigm `2utlsil u ut papaooaa uaaq anuq 060-t Z'Zt, MD-d Xq paainbaa st pogiltao suttulo Iuautasanquttaa asuadxa asogl ptre 080'tZ'Zt Mo2I Xq patinbat su aaogjo Sutlipnu oql Xq pag!Itao put palipnu saagonon •0-9 `paiaauo uoilow oq L •poluasa.zd su aupualuo ivasuoo aqi an,oaddu of `aau3long aaqutautliounoD Xq puooas `uosugor aaqu owpounoD Xq apuut suns uoilow d :uolia'v llaunoa sllig 3o uo!ivaapisuoD Z 600Z `bZ aaqutan ol\I `uotssaS atltt23g — solnutW jo uoiivaaptsuoD • I HVGNTIV3 LNHSN03 •lo2pnq s,XI!Z) aqi Ouiouuluq aoj `liounoD f4!D agl jo suoisioap aql su llann st `opaag joiN `aoioaaiQ oouuui j/aaansuojL s,A4!D aql paltpaao aH •sJJ0 Sul ooXolduta Xuu oq IOU ll!m atagl lugl aitunp a.tu aM '0i0Z aoj sliuJiaogs ao sataulus ut sastaaout ,Cut apinoad IOU saop aagoluuaM Isug jo A4!D oql -ioj ia2pnq 0 i 0Z lugl pits aH '0 i 0Z aoj joSpnq atagl ooutluq of aapao ut saaxolduta jjo Xul of paau u i�uiouataadxo on Iugl uaat oql ut suotio!psianf IMAM oat aiagl pits XatZ aofCnW 'ZZ iagw000(I uo 2u!Iaaut pounoo u anuq of paau Cut oq IOU ll!m aaagl SI aaqutaoa(I uo 0 i OZ aoj ia2png aalunnuuojS agI 2uildopu ui ssaooad aqI aialdutoo of olqu si 4!D aqI j! p!us Cot -I aoxuw 'OiOZ ioj ia2png aaltnnuuolS aqI 8utldopu puu aanionais aa3 aqI 8ui5uugo aouuuipao uu Idopu of IOU ao aaglagnn opioop uagi ll!m uoiloipsianf goug 'f4l0 put Xjunoo aqi gloq jo 3juls Xq uoiluluosaad t oq ll!m aaagi p!us aH 'lluH ,1liD aagoluuaM Isug It ploq oq ll!m goigm '-w•d 0£:9 lu `600Z `Si aaqutaoaQ uo saauoisstututoD ,ClunoD sul0noQ aqI gl!nn iuiiaaut luioadS Iuio f u aq ll!m aaagl su 2utu3Aa stgl possnosip aq IOU ll!m aoututpao aqI lugl pits all •5ut13auz pounoo A4!D `600Z `tiZ aaqutaAOM aqI It Suipuaa isag ioj llounoD aaojaq lg2noaq suns O10Z ao3 Ia2png Xlllllll aalunnuuolS agI futpau5aa aoututpao uup!us Sou-1 IOX'L'W •ivauuaaudaQ (ZI) BolougoaZ uotituuojul s,X4!D agI ui `III `u331!d gdlu-d Iotiuoo of Iun000u putua XI!D aiagi 2utpauBaa suotisonb Xuu puq saaqutautl!ounoD Xuu jt p!us `uoslnod utn,aQ `Xauaoiid XI!D •spaooaa oilgnd of ioofgns IOU we saaindutoo luuosaad puu Iluuta luuosaad aansua of ssoutsnq paiulaa AI!D Xuu aoj siun000u puuta luuosaad 2utsn onutiuoostp puu auaX aqi 3o isag agI lu Iun000u l!uwo fllD atagl Suisn puss of saaqutautl!ounoD pa)lsu Xoull aoXuw •aagoluuaM Isu9 JO "4l0 aqI of Iaonn paiuoipap aaq aoJ aaq paNuugl Xotrl aoSuw Suiiaaut aqI It, luasaad IOU suns iuviag •sW g2nogild -Xl!o aqi qi!m oolAaas jo sauoX OZ poialdutoo suq `Iuu,�.tg aiuuuar `laalo spa000-d aoilod IuowliudaQ ao!lod aagoluuaM Istg aqI `600Z `t, aaqutaoa(l jo su plus ,Cot'I aoXuW '0 i0Z 3o asanoo aqI ftanp sanssi /aup2pnq aqI jo pasiaddu utagl daal puu ssaooad Ia2pnq aqI ui aitdioiw'd of aapao ui aiuioa ll!m saaqutautl!ounoD llu plus Xou-I aoXuW '010Z ioj aall!wwoD ia2png aqi of `aau3long aaqutautliounoo puu `goiapuaH aaqutautl!ounoD `gtud aaqutautl!ouno:) paiuioddt Xou-I aoXuj .L2IOda2I SIHOAVW 600Z `8 -d99 9D9CI SR.Lf1XlW `IIONnOO HHHD LVNgAk LSd3 d0 A LID CITY OF EAST WENATCHEE COUNCIL MINUTES DECEMBER 8, 2009 ACTION ITEMS 09-12-01 Authorization for the Mayor to sign an Interlocal Agreement for the purpose of participating in the State Purchasing Cooperative Program.

The motion carried, 6-0. ORDINANCES 09-11-07 Second reading of an ordinance adopting the 2010 Annual Final Budget for the City of East Wenatchee. Mayor Lacy read the ordinance summary. ORDINANCE NO.2009-19 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EAST WENATCHEE, WASHINGTON, ADOPTING THE FINAL BUDGET OF THE CITY FOR THE FISCAL YEAR COMMENCING JANUARY 1, 2010. Councilmember Bremmer expressed concerns that the City is not putting any money towards street projects in this budget. He said he would like to see better efficiencies in scheduling the hourly employees by reducing the salaries by five percent in order to place those dollars into the street projects funds. Mayor Lacy said the City is not in a position to change the existing conditions of employment pending union negotiations. City Attorney, Devin Poulson, said we are in a status quo period in which we are not able to make any employment changes. He said if our employees have a 40 hour work week and their hours are cut back to 32 hours a week the union will argue that this is an unfair labor practice. Councilmember Hendricks expressed concerns regarding the increase of $800,000 in this budget compared to the 2009 budget. Council Action: A motion was made by Councilmember Johnson, second by Councilmember Buckner, to adopt the ordinance adopting the final budget for the fiscal year commencing 2010. The motion carried, 4-2.
