CITIZEN COMMENTS
Bill Millets 450 S. Lyle, said the Douglas County Commissioners have upheld the application for the
' Apple Capital Mall and the Growth Management Hearings Board has upheld Douglas County's growth
plan. Mr. Millett asked Council not to appeal the mall application or the growth management issue,
adding it would be a waste of time and money.
Greg Renggli, 352 Johnson Place NE, said he submitted a petition for annexation to the Douglas County
Auditor for certification of the ten percent requirement to be annexed into the city. The area is east of
Colorado, west of Eastmont, between Third Street N.E. and Eighth Street N.E. Mr. Renggli asked
Council to place the annexation on the next ballot for a vote of the people in the proposed area.
Lyle Sheldon, East Wenatchee, said he told last fall an implementation of a utility tax was necessary to
balance the budget. Now he said, with more money coming in than expected, why is the utility tax
necessary?
Patti Herres, Director, East Wenatchee Chamber of Commerce, gave a 1997 first quarter report. She said
the Chamber now had a home page on the internet; the address is eastwenatchee.com. This page offers a
business directory and a tourism calendar of events. She said an updated brochure was in the process of
being printed for East Wenatchee. Ms. Herres added, the Can Am games were still planning on coming
to the Wenatchee Valley in 1999. She said the Classy Chassis Parade would be held May 2, and the
vehicles would be displayed at Douglas County Park starting at 1:00 p.m. She added, the parade begins
at 7:00 p.m. and a street dance would follow the parade.

CITY OF EAST WENATCHEE COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 21, 1997
ORDINANCE
' 97-03-03 An ordinance repealing utility taxes.
Council Action: A motion was made by Councilmember Lacy, second by Councilmember Nash to table
the ordinance repealing utility taxes.
Councilmember Frack said he had been working with Clerk/Treasurer Oestreich to answer the questions
regarding the totals in the budget. He gave a report to Council with his findings as follows:
"Councilmember Nash's comment about revenues not adding up, therefore, how can we trust the other
figures, such as the expenditures. The two line items were old BARS numbers set by the auditors. We
cannot remove the old number until the new number has figures in it. All that needed to be done was
combine the two, to reach correct balances."
"Councilmember Aiken's view of how the revenues have come in already, over budget is incorrect. He
added unbudgeted revenues, revenues receipted in this year that were budgeted last year, and he also
included nonrevenues, which are pass-thrus and not part of our actual revenues."
1. The actual Current Expense beginning fund balance for 1997 is $29284.96.
2. Cannot find this amount. By adding excess amounts in the budget, the figure is $26384.88.
' However, non revenues must not be added in. Total with nonrevenues removed is $11,508.77.
Also non -budgeted amounts should not be added in, these items are gun permits, etc. Also,
receipts which did not come in until after the first of the year, but were budgeted in 1996, such as
some amusement licenses, should not be included in 1997..
3. The $37,000 is not correct. This is a projected estimate by County Commissioners for the first full
year of 1998. For 1997, this figure could be as much as $9,000 or as little as $7,500.
4. This makes the total estimate $48,293.73. Not $129,047 as Councilmember Hendricks indicates.
5. I do agree with these items. - $85,304 Electric Utility Tax, $1,600 Natural Gas Utility Tax, $36,000
Garbage Utility Tax. He did not include the $12,000 for recycling. (May be estimated too high).
His total of the three taxes, or $122,904 is correct.
6. Using the figure of $48,293.73, minus Dennis' correct budget figure of $122,904; this leaves a
negative dollar amount of $74,610.27. Not $6,5034 over 1997 budget as Dennis states. There is no
guarantee that revenues will come in over projections.
7. The estimate for the 1996 budget (Beginning Fund Balance) was too high. $462,835.00 estimated
carryover from 1995 to 1996 was actually $82,970.94. This equals a difference of $379,864.06
between actual and budget figures. The amount was not made up.
' 8. This was due to the reimbursement of salaries from the Federal Grants for `Police Officers on the
Street' (COPS) of $45,000 in December. It reduced the Police Department's salary amount.
