PRESENTATION Link Transit — General Manager Richard DeRock gave a PowerPoint presentation regarding the Electric Bus Program. He said Link Transit will replace the current diesel trolleys with five new all -electric trolleys. The $2.9 million project, paid for with federal stimulus funds, includes charging stations at Columbia Station and Link's headquarters in Olds Station. The 22-passenger trolleys will be quieter, about 7 feet shorter and emit no carbon emissions. He added the all -electric route will be named "The Current" and replace routes 9 and 19 through Wenatchee and East Wenatchee. The electricity to power a trolley will cost about $1,175 a year, compared to $10,000 a year for diesel, according to Link estimates. BUDGET ISSUES Nick Gerde Finance Director updated Council on the items discussed at the recent Budget Committee meeting which included review of materials for support of the annual process for labor benefit costs as well as information to support the two collective bargaining processes we are going through now.

I am a member of the Legislative Youth Advisory Council of Washington State (LYAC) serving as a council member. The sole purpose of LYAC is to serve as the official voice of Washington's youth in the State Legislature. We are a 22 member council of youth ages 14-18.
