Mayor Lacy said he would take a look at where this project is in terms of a scheduled completion date with the Street Department. He added that he would ensure that Mr. Spiro is better informed on when the project will be scheduled for completion. Bill Whitlow, 748 Highline Drive, East Wenatchee, owner of Grey Goat Fit (GG), asked Council to consider a proposal regarding utilization of the sprint boat location in off season which advocates for the City of East Wenatchee to work in conjunction with the property owner, Mr. Vickery, to make use of that property and consider it for development of a cycling activity area for the community. Mayor Lacy said the city's involvement in that property is solely as a lessee for purposes of holding the sprint boat event and does not have any control over the use of that property during the off season. Mayor Lacy suggested Mr. Whitlow speak to Mr. Vickery about this proposal. Don Person, 14 Fraley Lane, East Wenatchee, with Evergreen Bicycle Alliance, said creating opportunities for recreational activities on public land is important and would benefit the community.

He said he had received a letter from Waste Management on August 10, 2010, stating that Waste Management has submitted a filing to the Washington Utilities & Transportation Commission for residential voluntary, subscription for yard debris collection service in the urban growth area. He added Waste Management would like the City to consider adding this service when the new contract is negotiated. However, he believes that this will be an added fee to the consumer that is now a free service. Mayor Lacy informed Council of the results from the Public Employees Relations Commission (PERC). The result is from the arbitration that was held specifically to rule on the City's position that East Wenatchee Events Coordinator Dawn Collings, and Executive Secretary Teresa Allen, should not be considered qualified for the union membership. The City's argument was that Ms. Allen is a confidential employee, therefore, should be considered a non -union member and that Ms. Collings was a department head, and the PERC agreed with respect to Ms. Allen and disagreed with respect to Ms. Collings and as it stands, Ms. Collings would be back into the union contract. Mayor Lacy said he supported Douglas County Commissioner Ken Stanton's position regarding the Apple Capital Loop Trail Study Session to develop a proposed alternative for the Apple Capital Loop Trail. Commissioner Stanton recommended going 50 ft. east of the trail and let WSDOT surplus anything east of that line. Anything west of that line would be retained as a transportation corridor, a non - motorized transportation corridor, and rather than surplus the property in whole, do it in smaller parts in consideration of future needs. He proposed that with approval from Council regarding the recommendation by Commissioner Stanton, Council would have to approve the specific language of a joint letter between the City and the County. Hearing no objection from Council he asked Community Development Director to develop a joint letter with Douglas County.
