PUBLIC COMMENTS
Nathan Scott, 918 Manzanal Street, East Wenatchee, said he had received notice from Link Transit that
they would like his input regarding their webpage update. He asked Council not to take action on the East
Wenatchee City Council Rule of Procedure at this meeting to allow the public to digest the information.
He expressed concerns regarding the time limit referred to in the proposed document.
Barbara Miles, 481 7th St. NE, East Wenatchee, expressed support for rehabilitating buildings and
installing sidewalks around schools.
Ken Dominguez, 838 Valley Mall Pkwy, East Wenatchee, requested that funding be provided for projects
in the downtown area. He mentioned that a substantial amount of improvements need to be done
downtown to make it a nicer place to live and shop. He stressed that there needs to be a well thought out
plan and follow-through with projects to make the area a place the city can be proud of.
Katie Dominguez, 838 Valley Mall Pkwy, East Wenatchee, mentioned that they had a good turnout last
weekend when a tour bus came through town. She would like to see more tour buses come through. The
downtown looks dead and ugly and needs to be cleaned up to draw more people to the area.

CITY OF EAST WENATCHEE COUNCIL MINUTES AUGUST 9, 2011
Councilmember Buckner said with the new data provided in the status report he would like to crunch the
numbers a little more and does not think immediate action is necessary. He said if we do decide to take
action, he would like to let the businesses know in advance what those changes would be.
Councilmember Raab said that by leaving it as it is, it makes all businesses equal whether they are located
within the City limits or not.
Mayor Lacy said at this time there will be no action taken until a Councilmember brings a motion and
raises this issue.
DEPARTMENT REPORT
Community Development Director Lori Barnett reviewed the process that has taken place to date with the
East Wenatchee Planning Commission and asked them to weigh in on the process and provide us with
alternatives for the list of projects we can potentially do regarding the downtown revitalization project.
They reviewed the three surveys Ms. Barnett had drafted and offered additional suggestions. She said the
first survey is a Stakeholders survey that is in person with some elected officials, some community
leaders and downtown business owners. The second survey targets the property owners to give us
demographic information. The third survey is for the general public to evaluate what they want by their
answers.
Ms. Barnett reviewed the Annual Action Plan that is on the agenda for a public hearing and a resolution
adopting the Plan. She said this was also reviewed by the East Wenatchee Planning Commission. She
explained that the funds must be used for projects that principally benefit low and moderate income
households. These would include decent housing, suitable living environments and expanded economic
opportunities. She included two maps showing the areas of population in poverty and the areas of low to
moderate income. She reviewed the summary of projects and funding allocations.
MAYOR'S REPORT
Mayor Lacy said that Local 846 Union employees has accepted the final offer from the City and approved
the contract. He said the Teamsters Union employees have filed for mediation regarding the following
issues: education incentive, wages, and sick leave buy out.
Mayor Lacy said State Legislation has passed, allowing community gardens for the purpose of raising
marijuana for medical use. He said options of the City are fairly limited but Federal authorities have still
not approved this kind of program. This puts the Cities in a position of having to make some decisions as
to what to do. He said one of our options might be to impose a six month moratorium to study this further.
He said he is not suggesting anything tonight other than snaking you aware of the issue and give you the
opportunity to do some individual research if you so choose, as this will probably come before you for
further discussion and possible action over the next couple of months.
CONSENT CALENDAR
Items listed below were distributed to Councilmember's in advance for study and were enacted in one
motion.
Council Action: A motion was made by Councilmember Raab, second by Councilmember McCourt, to
approve the consent calendar as presented. The motion carried, 6-0.
