Councilmember Hendricks received a standing ovation from the Council and audience. PUBLIC COMMENTS Nathan Scott, 918 Manzanal Street, stated he did not agree with Council Action at the previous Council meeting regarding an increase to property tax and increasing salaries which negated the tax increase. He said he does not agree with some of the items in the budget that will be considered this evening, which includes the Events Department as he felt there should have been an attempt to get volunteer organizations to fill the gap. Finance Director Nick Gerde said the Budget Committee held a meeting December 8, 2011. The items discussed were the cost reduction by excluding the hiring of one police officer, and after reviewing the information provided by Municipal Court Judge Crowell, $12,000 was added to the Municipal Court Budget for hiring a Security company to be present during Court days.

French Street, Hamilton Street and the Grant Road corridor were offered as locations that could benefit from sidewalks. Mr. Detering also mentioned that the City should look at opportunities to partner with housing developers who might be interested in providing affordable housing by using the funds to help defray the cost of public improvements required for the development. Mayor Lacy closed the public hearing at 6:56 p.m. 11-12-02 A public hearing to consider a request submitted by Martin and Maria Mendez to defer the design and installation of required public improvements including stormwater management systems, curb, gutter, and sidewalks for property located at 112 N Keller Avenue. Mayor Lacy opened the public hearing at 6:57 p.m. Lori Barnett, Community Development Director stated that this is a short plat submitted by Martin and Maria Mendez to divide a .47 acre parcel into two lots. She said the requirements in the comprehensive street standards require street and road improvements be done in front of the property and since there are no other improvements of curbs, gutters, and sidewalks on that street they have requested to defer the improvements. She added this can be done with a concomitant agreement which would be good for fifteen years, and if the area is improved with curbs, gutters, and sidewalks, the cost of the improvements would be recouped. Mayor Lacy closed the public hearing at 6:58 p.m. ACTION ITEMS 11-12-03 Request deferral of street improvements for Mendez Short Plat SP 2011-02.

MINUTES DECEMBER 13, 2011 Presented by Nick Gerde, Finance Director Council Action: A motion was made by Councilmember Buckner, second by Councilmember Johnson, to adopt the final budget for the City of East Wenatchee for the fiscal year 2012. The motion carried, 7-0. ORDINANCE NO.2011-14 An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of East Wenatchee, Washington, adopting the final budget of the City for the fiscal year commencing January 1, 2012. COUNCII.REPORTS Mayor Lacy updated Council with regards to the Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO), stating that the legislation has not been amended and if passed there is a high likelihood that we would not be grandfathered in, in the event they change the size requirements for an MPO. He added this would change some of the direct funding that comes to our area. Councilmember Hendricks asked why 10°i Street, East Wenatchee, was removed from the funding list and replaced with $25 million for a Park and Ride for Link. ' Mayor Lacy explained the process in which the Regional Council set up the priorities and then recommend that they be adopted by the local Transportation Council's. He said from a regional perspective they did not see 10"' Street as a significant amount of regional impact and that is what they made the recommendation. He added the Wenatchee Valley Transportation Council has supported East Wenatchee on several projects in the recent past. Councilmember Johnson said an article from the American City County magazine caught his interest, "City eliminates paper meeting packets for elected officials and committee members with tablets", he said this was from North Liberty, Iowa, a town of 13,000 residents. The purchase is estimated to save the City about $10,000 annually for the twice a month Council meetings. He asked if the City could research this to see if it would be feasible. Mayor Lacy said he had a discussion with Councilmember Raab regarding changes that have been happening in terms of the organization and structure of Countywide Solid Waste. He said the County recently decided to bring Solid Waste in house and now it has raised some issues that we should be aware of and discuss. He said Councihnember Raab invited Countywide Solid Waste Program Director, Ron Draggoo, to talk about the issue. Mr. Draggoo explained that by Interlocal Agreement in 1995 a joint City/County organization which includes six jurisdictions created the Countywide Solid Waste with Douglas County as the lead agency. The Solid Waste Members Manual contains the rules by which all the agencies agree to follow. In those rules it was defined that the only role or advantage that Douglas County had by being the lead agency was that they were to provide legal and support services to the Solid Waste office in order to carry out the direction given by the Executive Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), which is made up of all the jurisdictions and approved by the Solid Waste Advisory Committee (SWAC). He said after review by Douglas County legal and elected officials, there is a linkage missing in which the Interlocal Agreement has been misinterpreted or reinterpreted. Therefore, instead of having an independent Countywide Solid Waste office that answered to the Executive TAC, it would be a department of Douglas County and they ' valo Al?O pjt,=Elajeg eaEQ pmwkq 0119 INd SS:L 'I I OZ `6 nqi 00(I PIIe `i I OZ `Z-mgmanoN uo plag s8upaam aallmttuoO anpnoaxg luamdolanaQ pae no?leuasuoO pue aomosag uol8u?gsLM IEAWD WON aril PIIe `IiOZ `6 jequmAoN uo plaq Smlaaui IuatadolanaQ pU19 uoilvAMSaoO put, aomosag aol8ulgseM IwluaQ tpjoN oql `I i OZ `6 jagtuanoN uo plag Supaam d?gssaqurayll lauls?Q laamdolanaQ olmouoag uolSa?gSLM IEj1uaO'PON OT tuoj3 salnuryq - jaujlong jagmauglamtoO ' I I OZ `6 -aquianoN uo Plaq 8mlaam pmrog an?lr-4mumpd 116 IHoDJanrd agl tao.IJ salnuryq - InN=g JagtuaugtaunOD 'I I OZ `L iagtoanoN uo Plag Supaam pnog Su[uianoD ljoddnS IEaolSoa sggno(i uelogO agl mog salnuryg - lmoogq jogmaml?omtoO I IOZ 101 mgUUOAOM ao ploq 8uq=m llounoO uoquvods=j XQIIEA aagoleaaM aql moy salnu!W - Aorl joALIN mp am nannoO Aji,Z) aql of jo!.id i3tqlljm m paulmgns aaaM sa;nalm/suo as BujAiolloj aqy •00919=Ak 1seH33o 40 ag104 aainjas JO SMS nags jo; silo?jpuaH pm: ' joun a.tg saagmatupaunoo paTr pl unoOolNt mgmaufiaunoO pue `uosugor mgtaomUounoO `dae7 jo t!w aog3jm aM lsud3o =Aolduta otp puL, I?aunoD f4!0 `joAuw agl pajlaegl s3l3upuaH jagtuauq?ounoO •aagaleaaM lsua 3° MD agl g1?m jaqutatal?amtoO se atop sT Mawano;apq E ones osp aH •l?oanoO Cl?� agl uo 8u?loam;st,l sal oslE si sap se A1?O atp of aomms slq jo3 jautmajg ragmatnl?auno0 paAaegl sjlaupuaH jaqutatul?aunoO votssnas?p jo; jlaEq tool? ag1 Swq aagl Um aM -= suoildo mo legM aas pae Main 3o ;tnod WSal a moxi PozAlmm oq sap juM palsaSBns Aoe1 jo uW •pa8uugo oq imo Aoua8e peal aql jaglogA% Pau alseM PgoS jo; saamos 2mpun3 8alpje8aj pajjnaoo uo?ssnoslp jaglm3 •pa8uego aq uEo saletado alseM p?IoS atp AwA aql pup pa8uetla oq t= 6oua8e peal agl `alon f4!jofuut tadns a gi?M 1m{3 salels ampaaojd agy salejado alspM P?i°S q°?qM Aq sum law pup sapu agI iq ap?qe of 8u?aaBu put, Stnl=o of og?cads si legl luautaat8y 1paolmiul agl ul uoilaas E si ajagl pips 0088ejQ •ryq •It a8uugo of laataa JBV luooljoluI agl u?gl?M tusluegoaut e;o osn agI of posoddo se IuamaajBV leooljalul agl;o uopEllogou Mau E omnbaj lou l? pinoM `uagl SulSuugo si saoila?psunf uaaMloq luouioaj8y leaoljalul otp;? pajlse foe-1 joSiew 'jolrals?uiwpV f4unoO sul8noQ agl of llodaj Moa ,Cagl 'OV L anllnaaxg aq1 01 suodaj Mgaol ou oatpo siq pm amlatuls AiunoO aql ow!
