Mr. Berg said the project would be done in three stages, explaining the different phases. Several Councilmembers, the Mayor and staff expressed concern of the impacts of the project, such as lack of flaggers, proper signage placement, traffic flows, emergency situations and timing. Mr. Berg said the WSDOT will be as flexible as possible; would get the word out through the media; felt ' the project could be done on time and with little difficulty; although he did state the impacts would be great and would probably affect everyone to some extent. DISCUSSION 97-05-01 Discussion and decision regarding the Cooperative Tourism Plan with Wenatchee Mayor Collings said Council had now reviewed the "Real Apple" plan and Mr. Don Etherington was in the audience to answer any further questions. Councilmember Hendricks said it was important for the city to support our own chamber and for the chambers to work together. Councilmember Nash said she had several reservations on the idea, such as not being happy with the logo; some of the benefits being for Wenatchee only, not East Wenatchee; not sure if another agency really is needed; and overall saw little benefit in the plan for East Wenatchee. Councilmember Mikow said the concept was a good idea, however, it may be a bit premature. He suggested waiting a bit to see what was being done cooperatively. Councilmember Lacy said he did not have too may concerns, however, he wanted to insure adequate participation. The perception was more Wenatchee's interest, not East Wenatchee. Mr. Lacy recommended the East Wenatchee Tourism Advisory Committee meet and review the plan and return with a recommendation to Council. -2- -£- •aagoleuaM lsug 823l!I OH 'WOO agl mjnollaed u! `oSuego aweu agl;o sluawalo pu jap!suoo of punoo palse `aAu(j gnlZ) ,CuunoO 0£LI `gooX wat •ssaooid uogoola agl io3 Claw!1 aq of Clnf ut loeq anss! ayj Sup q pus `.uo!loalas aweu luuuojut ue aneq `.aldood ag10l „lno pIom 21P108„ of e!paw smau agl io3 paIsu I!ouno0 •suoz!po aql wo.g aq osle pinogs sao!ogo luaaajI!p agl puu oldood 2g1;o aloA a of oB pinogs p paa.iSu ouotrang •suo!lnlosaa luaiajj!p agl possnoslp punoo aql •lopeq ag1 uo saweu wa3 asoogo of alwoloala ag1 smope pue paSuego aq pinogs ouleu agi .iaglagm 01 se aloA a smolle POqIDTM p.ngl agl pue `I!ounoD ,(q pau!wgns auisu ogpods a anoiddu of 210A aql smollu poglaw puooas agl `.luouusug of aweu ag1 aSuego 01 aloA a sm01110 poglaw auO •uo!ssnos!p io; paluosaid Sulaq ajam spoglaw uo!inlosal uo!;do 1,Ieap amyl plus aqS 'UL'Id aAlsuagaidwoj agl ul pauolluaw sum 1! puu lsud aql u! sowll ,Cuew passnos!p uaaq peq anssi s!g1 plus sSu!lloD joXvW aagoleuaM;seg io; aSuugo owuu u jo; ainp000id oql Su!luawaldw! uminlosaa V 60'b0'L6 I,(1) A IIIU IIMC t.I '0-9 `Polino uollow ag,y -saoua.aajuoo `s.sulwas `sdogglom `sumiSad olpw ,Clgluow `sSu!laaw aau!wwoD pouno0 `sluailai pounoZ) `sdogslloM laSpng `Odld `MINI I 'a•! `Supootu palespuadwoo u paiap!suoo si lugm sougop Xo!lod aqy •aou!wwo3 punoo anles!Saal �q apuawwooa� suolesuawoo pe alpups pounoO Sulpmgoi Aogod oql puoule of gsel l jagwauq!ouno:) Aq puooas `Xoe-1 aagwouipounoD Xq uo!1ow d :uogaV Ilaunoj •sgof lulnSa.i.qagl woi3 jjo ouip ueaw pinom sSupow osagl aou!s `saouajapoo DMd oql se Bons `sSu!laaw uluuoo le uo!lusuadwoa loj palse s3Io!Jpu2H pue uwpV jagwawl!ounoo -Aluuo;!un lae of paou pounoo oql pue luawosingwlai ao; swal! luwa33!P paulwgns sjagwawl!ounoo luaaqjj!p plus aH •pougap Almalo aq suopowg luaiajj!p ag1 Sulpuawwooai sem oall!wwoO I!ounoO aA!lulslSeq oq L •suo!1ounj papuoue impo pue s8u.Iaaw joj uo!lesuadwoo punoo;o uolluoguelo lo; popaau sem ,Co!Iod u p!es Aouj jagwawl!ounoD uo!lesuadwoo pus sa!julus l!ounoD SulpjuSaj ,(ogod u laS TO-SO-L6 NOIlvaNla 1NIOJai '0-9 `pol uuo uollow oqs -pounoD of )Ioeq liodai puu laaw of f4!unlwddo uu a211!wwo0 ,Gos!Ape aql molls of Su!laaw Z aunf all 1pun anssi ay1 algel of uail!y jagwawl!ounoo Cq puooas `CoeZ jagwawlpunoO Aq uollow y mot V I!aunoO •uolleuuoju! ajow 128 am plun palqul aq pinogs ansst agl pus u231!d lagwowl!ounoD •iaglaSol Tom 01 sa11QUO aql SulSeinooua sum puu snoo3 al!ugap a ui palsojalu! sum pnog iagwugo aagoleuaM ;sug aqy •uo!lu!oossd umolumo(] aagoluuaM aql pus laquiug0 aagaleuaM I aql ql!m Suiliom Io eap! pue ldaouoo aql pall aagwego xp pus saJJaH !ned ioloanQ iagwu90 ,Clal!ugapui polgei lou sum anssi agl os 112s aq pinogs oug awll e `pappe OH -eap! aql gl!m poseald sem aq pun ;daouoo pooS u sum 1! 1123 aq p!es uosjuD iagwawpouno0 L661`9AVW SUCINIW IDN[IODA.LIO33HJ1tlN3M.LSV3d0AID CITY OF EAST WENATCHEE CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 5, 1997 George Batterman, Jr, said he was interested in the history of the area, had lived here eighty-two years, remembered when Pangborn landed at Fancher Field and asked the public be allowed to choose the ' name, if it is going to change.
