The motion carried, 6-0. 12-08-06 Approval of staff recommendation to select BCRA Architects for design services of a snow guard system for the East Wenatchee City Hall Roof and to authorize the Mayor to negotiate and execute a contract. Presented by: Don McGahuey, Public Works Director Council Action: A motion was made by Councilmember Barnhart, second by Councilmember Johnson, to select BCRA Architects for design services of a snow guard system for the East Wenatchee City Hall Roof and to authorize the Mayor to negotiate and execute a contract. The motion carried, 6-0. COUNCIL REPORTS Councilmember Barnhart thanked the people involved in producing the recent newsletter, he said it was very good and thought the articles from the Department Heads were very appropriate, and were exceptionally well done. Councilmember Barnhart added that River Com is doing a search for a new Director, and one of the discussions that will be coming up is a possible nation-wide search. He said some of the Board members want to put a big amount of money into a fund to do that and he is one of the people against that. He said he would like to keep the search in the Northwest as employees have not gotten a pay raise for four years and to take $10,000 or so and put it in the Fund and deprive your employees of an actual raise, in his Councilmember position, is wrong, and if anyone thinks he is wrong let him know because he represents all of them. Councilmember Johnson asked Don McGahuey if he had researched a previous request of a different approach to snow plowing by plowing everything to the middle of the street in residential areas that have wider streets. Mr. McGahuey said that he has the report 90% complete. Councilmember Raab asked the Mayor if he wanted to report on the meeting he attended for Councilmember Detering at the Chamber of Commerce. Councilmember Raab said Chamber of Commerce passed a motion to combine with the Wenatchee Valley Visitors Bureau, and at that meeting he asked if that was approved by Mayor Lacy and they told him yes, but when he talked to Mayor Lacy there seemed to be a misunderstanding. Mayor Lacy stated that he doesn't have a right to approve or disapprove of actions by outside agencies like that, he said he had expressed to the Council at least a month ago, that unless the two criteria were met that he advocates for, those being that whichever agency handles this has autonomy and also, that we have the same kind of voice in terms of the decision making that we had with the Visitors Bureau. Otherwise, he would advocate against contributing City dollars toward the agency. The question of whether they merge or don't merge is, to him, not the issue. He said the question is, after they merge what is it going to look like, and how is it going to affect our relationship with however they decide to handle this, because the merger is preliminary to deciding on what structure they will employ. He added that he still does not know anything about that structure.
