PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE PROCLAMATION Mayor Pro Tempore Johnson read a proclamation declaring May 1, 2009, as Silver Star Banner Day, the official day to honor the wounded and ill soldiers in the City of East Wenatchee. PRESENTATION Columbia River Pipeline Bridge City of Wenatchee Public Works Director, Steve King, gave an update regarding the Columbia River Pipeline Bridge. He said the project came about for the reason that Link Transit had requested access to use the bridge for the transit system. An engineering study was completed and the community and the Wenatchee Reclamation District engaged in a further engineering study which resulted in recommendations to repair the bridge. He said the repairs were successful and if the bridge is maintained the bridge has at least an additional 50+ years of useful life for its current uses. He said the bridge painting project should be completed this summer as they were able to secure stimulus funds through the Metropolitan Planning Organization. Mr. King asked the City to consider participation by way of funding in the amount of $10,000. He said they have received commitments from: Port of Douglas County, $5,000; Washington State Department of Transportation, $10,000; Wenatchee Valley Visitor's Bureau, $5,000; Northern Fruit, $10,000; and City of Wenatchee $15,000. He said they are hopeful to receive commitments from: Chelan County, $5,000; Douglas County, $10,000; and East Wenatchee, $10,000. He added they are looking at other fund raising opportunities as there would still be a shortfall of approximately $40,000. Councilmember's discussed the City's current financial status and decided to place the issue on the next Budget Committee meeting agenda to review the request and come back with a recommendation. Wenatchee Valley Visitor's Bureau — 2008 Annual Report Executive Director, Roger Clute, Wenatchee Valley Visitor's Bureau (WVVB) gave a presentation of the WVVB annual report for 2008.
