He reported that it was the best single day of fundraising the Kiwanis have ever had. He said they will be back this year and their desire is to raise funds for kids with cancer. He added the Sprint Boat Races is probably one of the best things that has happened to this community, and he is very supportive of it. PRESENTATION Chelan/Douglas Land Trust, Eliot Scull and Mike Scott — Loop Trail — Department of Transportation Corridor Plan. Mr. Scull said the Department of Transportation has been asked to surplus these lands sometime in the near future. He stated that the date is up in the air, but speculation is that it may be in the next 2-4 years. Mr. Schull reviewed a report which represents the conclusions and recommendations of a diverse Vision Group of citizens that have met weekly since January 2011 to study the issues facing the eastside of the Apple Capital Loop Trail. He said the most important page of his report was page 2, "The Nub of the Vision" which outlines Land Use, Development, and Stewardship and Management and includes some of the points that they wanted to make, and the rest of the report deals with those issues in more detail and how they think they can achieve them. He added that it would be a great advantage to this community if Z I I OZ XuWjo iliuoW aqi aoj liodo-a lulouuuT3 aqi pamainai `apIaD 310IN aoloaaiQ 00uuui3 s'IOJHH zMHJNIHVdHU -a.inlig aqI ui sasodind ogloods iod pun3 (ZlagZlg) Outnlonag V lulua2i Iuauidinbg uu ui Aououi SmAdasw possnosip oslu AagZ -luau4ndaQ ooilod oql aoj ftsugwnd alotgan, ao/puu Suiouuug oloigan possnosip oslu oal4luiuio3 Ia2pnq aqI plus opiQD -jW -loofoid fllioud ino anuand luouilsug Suoluui inoqu uoissnosip jo lol u uaaq suq aiagl lugl louj agi umig Iuum pinom liounoo ologm agl Iugi uoiloajip oql oq pinom Iugi pauinssu suns li pql paluis off -spunj Suigoluui aqI anuq pinom om loiqi lgfnogl agi uo pasuq gll oql g2norg4 uoiluoilddu uu gllm prunuoJ &TAoui oq pinom AontIvooW -xW osnuoaq `uolsmop, lugl tlilm luauiaw2usip Auu sum ajagl al do Toads of aunt aqI oq pinom mou luill poluis Aou7 aoAUW -pzumioJ anoui of 3lo agi aaauTBua filo aql aeu2 snsuosuoo Ag aailluiuioo ia2pnq oql puu `f4i3 aql io3 Iunouiu Iuuoglu2isui uu Iou sum li os 000`009$ 13Ao oq pinoo uoil3od Buigoluui s,f4!0 agi puu `-ola `Buiuuuld Dip Suiop `ssaooid Iuu S oql Suiuiulgo jo suuol ui ino sxezX s-1, aq pinom li lugl uoissnosip Pip 2uunp pouluualop sum li plus all -anuand luouilsug 3o awls puooas Dip 3o oiuo a3lul pinom lugl paululgo oq pinoo lugs Aouoiu sum `f4!0 Dip .io3 puu IiounoD still .ioj Duo luuliodun isoui oql inq paioplsuoo oq pinoo lugs sioafozd lujanas a.iam aiagZ -alulS aqI uio g Aauoui (all) p igog Iuauiano iduq uoilul iodsum 1, su Bons V4!3 aqi of alquliunu oq Ig2iui Iugi sailiunpoddo Iuua ssnosip of Builaaui agi iu unq pouiof XonquDoIN uoQ .iaaui2?ug f4i3 plus opioD -jW -ilodag DaiilunuoD IaSpng `opzaD 3IoiN aoloDnQ aouuui3 Saf1SSI laocIflg ssaooid sigl ui paludioil.iud oqm dnojD uols'A aql pug llnoS -jW po3luugi Xou-jioK:uW -poglivapl uaaq anuq lugs suoilsa22ns agi jo ojumu oq uiagl lal pun iiounoo lugl oI Alluogioads liodoi sigl D3lul of sum lualui siq plus Aou7 aoAuW -anssi sigl inoqu suoissnosip lujanas pug anuq Amp puu `suuolgoid odfq ogjual-uou puu lupoui-iilnm �impnloul sonssi uoilupodsuuq tpim luap of pou2lsap Alluogloods si pim uoju oql ui suoiloipsunf Dill Ilu uiozj saniluluasaadaz sug pounoD uolodsuu.i 1, AOIIUA aagolu OM, agi poppu ag -anssi sigl oI loodsoi i plm suoilsonb Awl aqi 2uiX3iluopi oI loodsoi gltm suoildo autos posioioxo anuq oqm oldood 2?uiuuuld Dill pug s.iouoissimuioD f4unoD aql glim ui Sugudioiliud uaaq suq oq Iugi pauuoj 2uioq Dalnutuioo 2uu3als u of pal suq li plus ag -allaljud ioluugS Sliulnoiliud `s.iolulsi2ol ino puu uoilwodsuml jo luouiiiudaQ Dill tiloq gllm sf,,um .iaglo puu copal Xq uoiluoiunuiuioo jo sisisuoo golgm `anssi siql uo fqD Dill puu AlunoD aqi gioq jo digsaapual oql 30 3lugaq uo s-vojja tlllm lualsix000 uaaq anuq spojja sllnoS -jW lugl plus Xou-I ioSuW •siolulsioal atp ,�ggol pinom Amp jatilo2ol uatli pug uapi slgl uo spimq Iuig uuld u gilm do auioo of siouoissiuiuio� f4unoD sul�noQ Dill glim 31iom 1pm pounoD aql Iugi sadog oq puu suoisioop oql o3pw of f4!ioglnu Dip suq liounoD A4lD aqi plus llnoS -JW -f4unoD sul2noQ pun aatloluuaM Isug jo fllD oql of lgouaq u ii wigui am uuo moq puu `spv.4 ptre spuul osoili gilm op of iugm .ioj uuld anisuagazduzoo u glim do Duiuo am I I OZ `171 3hlflf Sd.Lf NIW 'IIDMnO0 FI9IIO LHrIaM tSVa 30 AID D CITY OF EAST WENATCHEE COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 14, 2011 MAYOR'S REPORT Mayor Lacy reminded Council and Staff of a reception being held here Thursday, June 161' at 3:30 p.m.for Officer Nash's retirement. He encouraged everyone to be here as we don't often get a 30 year police employee retiring from the City, and an opportunity to thank him for that kind of service. Mayor Lacy said now that we have our Police Annex essentially done and operational, he would like to invite Councilmembers to go over there and look around. He stated that it turned out really nice and that it was amazing that we were able to accomplish this for a cost between $125,000 and $200,000. He applauded Council for making that decision and suggested that we might want to plan and conduct a ribbon cutting for the Police Annex. Councilmember Barnhart suggested that along with a ribbon cutting he would like to include a Police Day or something related, with kid activities or something similar to what the Fire Department does. He stated that we should make it a combination kid's day event with fingerprinting etc., to snake it a total event. Mayor Lacy said he would bring it up with staff and see what can be done with it. Mayor Lacy said he did not have much to report with respect to the union contracts but will keep everyone informed as time goes on. Mayor Lacy said the Thunder Swamp event the City is sponsoring will be held on July 9fl', and we have been asked to get involved personally to help out at the event and be visible in terms of support, and to set an example to the volunteers that put so much time into the event. Mayor Lacy said he attended the Wenatchee Valley Transportation Council meeting and heard a presentation that was particularly interesting and a little bit concerning to him and he wanted the Council to be aware of it, which has to do with the formation and maintenance of Metropolitan Planning Organizations (1VIPO's) in the United States. He said both the prior Bush Administration as well as the current Obama Administration have recommended as part of their overall budget planning that the definition of MPO's be redefined or redone by increasing the size of a qualifying WO from 50,000 to 200,000. If that were to occur we would no longer be a Metropolitan Planning Organization for this area, and that it would have a significant impact on federal revenues for the Wenatchee Valley. He added that it would change the whole ball game for our City in terms of how we apply for and obtain funding for major infrastructure projects. Mayor Lacy appointed the Councilmembers attending the Association of Washington Cities conference as voting delegates for the annual business meeting. Councilmember Barnhart stated that Grant Road is the designated road for garbage trucks by the County, and in doing some research thought the City was entitled to impact fees, and if that is the case then we should pursue it. Mayor Lacy said we have pursued it, which is how we acquired $102,000 from the County last year, through what they call their County Distress Funds, and this year that amount was considerably smaller at approximately $42,000. He said that it is actually called Sales and Use Tax but Douglas County calls it the County Distress Fund. The County's position is that they are designating those funds for us specifically because of our suggestion that we needed it for Grant Road and this year it is unknown whether that was the justification or not. Mayor Lacy said the County has an Impact Hauling Fee Agreement with Waste Management in which Waste Management specifically pays the County for the impact of trucks hauling across the roads of the County. He said that to his understanding, when they negotiated that contract their justification included the span of Grant Road from Highway 28 through the City limits. He said the contract between Waste Management and Douglas County has been in place for quite some time. •lot tluoo sill uo puq pinonn ognn Ino putt puu slusodojd Jq j Isanbaa u Buisiaaanpu oq pinom dals Ixou atll `slanal aoinms u ntuiuttu all 2utldopu uodn pappu off •sluop!sat Spopla puu suozilio palqustp pat31junb `sonuaAQJ uIIO�Coat puu uoljonpoj alsum `lusodsip sdmgs ltlluaptsaz `.Wuiloxaai op!sg.Ino Iutluopusoi `umpalloO siigap ptu.0 `amlotuls alto aiquutn, t `opnloul gougnn so2utgo put suoildaoxo ma3 t Isnf gl!M cures otp azam Iou.Iluoo posodaid agl .Ioj slanal aoln.Ias utnununu agl Pius �ou-j IOXUW uoilou Jq j 2utlaaut I!ounoD `I I OZ `8Z aunt oql cos upuo2u agl uo poould oq limn oral! stgl p!us X3u-I aoSUW 'tu'd Ztb:L It St u uatj otlgnd agl pasolo XouZ aoAUW sluaututOa Ou SulreaH •slanal ootnaas utnunuttu pasodozd atg uo sluounuoo Cut a.Iann azagl 3! p031st puu •ut•d Ii7:L Iu Suutag otlgnd otll pouado .Cot -I ioStW Mid IuotuzBuuuW also,& p!loS antsuagajdutoD f4unoD sul2noQ otg gl!nn aouutldutoo uI «slanal aolnlas mnunu!K, so uoildopu iop!suoo of 2uuuaq otlgnd d 10-90-1T ONRIVaI 0I'Iffad 'pap!OA atann s3i3ago IloiSud ON 'Iio Sled T IOZ XuW JOs OZ'Z90`S9£$ so Iunoure iulol oql u! 9ZI££ qOnojW Z90££ puu £66Z£ q2nonp V96ZE saaqutnu 313ag3 an,ojddu saop I!OunoD `IIOZ `t,I aunr `alup slgl so sV — Ilos u�d IIOZ •n •pap!OA QJann £I I ££ ionoiT OT I ££ Put, `80I ££ `901££ `SOT££ `8L0££ `L90££ `£ZSZ£ s3133go saIPSud 3o lunoure lulol aql ut ttZ££ gi1nO.tg1 LZI££ PUu 190££ s.Iagtunu 31oog3 anotddu saop pmnoa `I IOZ `t,I aunr `altp slgl so sV — saiqu ua I IOZ •I IIoj td puu salquX:ud jo uolluaaplsuoD Z T i OZ `t,Z AL,W `uoissaS aulao-a — solnuiWjo uotlt Iop!suoD • I O-L `patUtO uotloul ails, -:podaa s,aoSrW oql aapun zlingoS utoij zing3S of Sulllods oql loauoo put ` wS uugluN — sluouttuoD otlgnd aapun aiquutulsns uugl .Iaglu.I `alquuttlsnsun puoi of iiojAud lunuut ifin Baj aouoluos oql o2uug3 `ITtD Iiog aapun omupuanu u! s313upuaH .Iaquzauq!ounoD ppu :suoistnai iiutnnollo3 oql gIlnn xupualto Iuasuoo oig anoaddt of `.Iatuutajg Jogwowj!ounoD ,iq pu000s `uosugor JaqutautllounoD Aq oputu suns uoilout d moiPV paunoa •uotlOut ouo in palotua azann puu Xpnls cos aouunpu ui s,Jaqutautl!ounoD of paingtalstp a.Iam moloq polstl sutall Hv([Nalva ZNaSN00 •aallal Iugl of osuodsoi ut f4unoD aqI uto4 31ouq SutglAut p eaq Iou suq oq plus off •Butdutnp agl iIt .Ion puulsl Moog g2no.Igl Munn jouq agl do autoo tuagl o3pw of aagoluuaM Istg 3o apuslno alnoi oql oluatsop-as ao `f413 oql gl!nn spun] osotll 3o autos aaugs of antlttuollt uu aap!suoo of uzagl pa3isu ag Imp .IuaX Isul snuolsslututoD A4unoo atp of Iuas Jallal u u!

He said this matter had been resolved for him by Mr. Dragoo. Councilmember Johnson asked if disabled, elderly, and low income is based on income, as he believes that those people who are elderly with a large income should not get a reduced rate. Mayor Lacy said that is something that will need to be addressed in the contract, which will be up to the Council when the contract is finalized.
