MAYOR'S REPORT Mayor Lacy said the final budget document had been completed. Council received copies at the meeting Mayor Lacy said Douglas County Prosecutor Steve Clem had concluded charges implemented by Charter Communications for use of local public access equipment, were a possible violation of I-695. Mayor Lacy said a determination from Municipal Research indicated the charges were not a violation of I-695. However, the City's agreement to participate in payment of the charges required participation from the other jurisdictions as well. Mayor Lacy said he had advised Gene Sharratt of the North Central Educational Service District, to move forward with only the City of Wenatchee participating. In response to a question from Councilmember Buckner, Mayor Lacy said East Wenatchee would still be allowed use of the equipment. Mayor Lacy reminded Council of the Association of Washington Cities Annual Conference in Spokane, June 21 through 23. He added Councilmembers who wished to attend and stay at the conference motel, needed to notify the city treasurer as soon as possible. Mayor Lacy said he had received a fax from the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Program stating it would be selling repossessed homes to local Washington governments for one dollar. Mayor Lacy said the list of houses included one in East Wenatchee. He said he would look into the details. Mayor Lacy said a networking meeting of community leaders had been held on March 7. He said there was a large turn out and many positive comments following the meeting. Another meeting has been scheduled for the second week of April. He said Mission Ridge was a common topic of concern among the attendees. Mayor Lacy said gifting of the VFW Hall was still a pending issue. He added Legal Counsel Chuck Zimmerman had reviewed the issue and felt the City could accept the gift.
