Mr. Campbell read a letter into the record from Michael Moody. Dear Mayor Collings, I am writing this letter to express my disappointment in the recent decisions that were made regarding the annexation effort. My home is located on 1 st Place SE and I was eagerly awaiting notification that it would soon be part of the City of East Wenatchee. I hope that despite the recent events, that yourself and the city will continue to pursue the goal of annexation. As a homeowner, I am well aware of the advantages of being a resident of the City, as opposed to the County. I would also like to thank you and your staff for all of your time and efforts so far in working towards this goal. I am sure that all of you have worked very long hours for this effort and also share my disappointment. Again, I hope that we can continue to aggressively pursue the annexation effort and finally allow the citizens their right to vote on this issue. I am sure that they will make the right one. Sincerely, Michael Moody 2- WIN 'tu'd £Z:L lu Suueaq otlgnd oql posolo s2uillo0 io,Culnl `luammoo otlgnd ou SuLrOOTT •tu•d ZZ:L lu Suuuaq otlgnd aql pauado sgullloo joALW •,iem;o-lgBu paumo ,�4!0 Butlstxa og1;o lsam Paluool ,Cliadoid `f4!0 ail of opan pinom lugl uotluoolai Munn 3o-lgBu a pasodoad suq Allure; sutgolnH aqy dtimd autloseS a pee Sutpltnq aSuiols a `slleM Sututulai Tool `sitels alaJouoo sopnloui uogsanb u 4jadoid agl;o uou<od aql •Arm-jo-lgSu paumo ,Cleo uo ,Clwd st Xl!umj sutgolnH all Xq poumo Aliodoid 1egl jjuls ,Clio of luamddu aut000q suq It pies uetupooO luopualuuadnS laanS gltoN anuanV uaoinV LZLI 1e paluool uolleoun laaJgs u BulpjuSai Fuuuoq otlgnd V 10-01-96 9NIRIV3H Jl'IBfld •uoquxauae MIA uotsslW ail io3 lsonbai luaow ail uo uotlotpstmf P3310AUI puq ,iluno0 sulBnoQ imp `tualD ana1S OujouV iWimoosoid ,iluno0 sulSnoQ moz3 aallal u of Suuia3ai `PaPPe llagduxu0 -xW (6£ 'Bd) 'Iusodozd u of uals!I Plnom I •Sut,ius si smuill!M 'jW lugm puelslopun uuo 11ng •amllnouft aq1 moij ,fume Lmm poz!uugm oql slaoui aioui lugl lesodold a gltm do amoo pinogs fop otg Imp lla; lsnf I •oluuiallu ue;o lgSnogl l,upul I `olq :NOS2IH.L3d '2IW (6£-8£ 'Sd) *Aus pinoo noA ssanS I `glmoiS paSuuuut s,1! lseal 1u io olquldaou ,illuiauaS aq pinom )Iuutgl pinom I lugl ot.reuaos iaglouu oq pinom 1etlZ Bulge oql 3o sloodsu lemllnouBu ag13o autos ,C3snes of spual lI 'Sutgl Gana so.mnbs 11 •etqumlo0 oql of 3aa.t1S ,C31onluo)I umop ,Uepunoq ql Aoi8 uugm tuoij ,Ciupunoq lsuo aq1 uo dol oql jjo lsnf sdugtad uotp pee fnpunoq glmotS uugm aq1 of dem ail 1p' 1aaAS Pj£Z do ianu utgnlo0 oql wojgoS no,i;t oS •oS saotnaas su au; su 1oulstp lamas aql 3o ,Caupunoq uiagpou oql st oslu 11 -Imp ;o gltou I!unaid Imp spirel pamllnouBe aq1 uto4 LlleiouaS lutluoptsoi ,Cneaq salumdos Tutu •100ils pi£Z `Aus `jo oull quou otp o3pl `Alas `outl u Kotd s,lal pud •luluautajout aq of lgBno sSutgl aiagl 3lttlll I `AeS I aXll `aouulsut lo3 'LuXO :SWVI I IIM 'ZIW (9£ 'Sd) 'Paaalle ao patuap aq iaupta pinogs 1! )tu!gl I :CIOOM 'SW (S£ 'Bd) •olgeld000u aq pinom lugl uuld alquuosea.t a ql!m do otuoo of dlto aq1 of do 1! aneal pinogs am 111 I pure `lumt ,(Maid oiu saSpo ozap IIV 3o spua But,Cllno aq1 3o gBnouo lou puu eaxu woo oql 3o gonut ool of pauguoo st uotlurtuegm aql `lgStuol aiagl MAo dmu jell lu Bunlool st 2utlaa3 XW :NOSY919d '2IW ' •BuueaH p.tuog Matnag krepunog aql jo lduosuell aql tuoi3 suopoas puai oslu Ilogdu mD •.iW 9661 'L 1080.100 S3lnNIW 'lI3RnOJ 33HJ.LVN3M 1SV3 d0 AM CITY OF EAST WENATCHEE COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 7, 1996 Council Action: A motion was made by Councilmember Frack, second by Councilmember ' Carson to approve the street vacation on property located at 1727 No. Aurora Avenue. The motion carried, 6-0. 96-10-02 A public hearing regarding a proposed Douglas County Biomedical Waste Ordinance Mayor Collings said the ordinance was prepared by the Public Health & Safety Technical Advisory Committee of the Solid Waste Advisory Committee. She added, the proposed ordinance was distributed to local businesses that deal with biomedical waste. Mayor Collings opened the public hearing at 7:25 p.m. The following were opposed to the biomedical ordinance: Tamara Gordy, Waste Management of Greater Wenatchee Dr. Robert Merrill, 1726 N Fairview, East Wenatchee The reason given for the opposition to the ordinance included no present problems at the landfill; the biomedical waste was being properly handled at the generator level and; an ordinance at the local level was unnecessary since the issue was heavily addressed and controlled at the state level. ' The following were in favor of the biomedical ordinance: Ron Draggoo, Douglas County Solid Waste Norm Nunnally, Public Health and Safety Bill Millett, 450 S. Lyle, East Wenatchee 1 The proponents of the ordinance said the need for better control was obvious; the generators of the waste were not disposing of it properly and; the biggest concern was potential liability. Mayor Collings closed the public hearing at 7:34 p.m. Council discussion followed and Mr. Draggoo was again asked for more detail. After further review, Council felt education was the best answer and no ordinance was needed. Mayor Collings will convey that information to the Solid Waste Advisory Committee. MAYOR'S REPORT Mayor Collings reminded council of the budget workshop scheduled for October 14th at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers. -4- -S- 1 1 xlalD 43 03d/ONIJ go?allsap etut8nA1 'W'(l O£:8 -- ImawNuflOf4V •opoo alt,ls ,Cq poquosgns wam sanssi asagl pies mo)IryW iagmamjiounoo -atom aq pinoo 11 oq,tum 1nq lute mo" aq pjes uaxtd iagmam pounoo xLl sajus uo i?Ids luooiad uaagt3 / ang -,C1q'SIa ue uo f4unoo oql glim saxegs onuanai ipeaijP ,Clio agl uaXid iagmatupounoo papuimaj s8uijjo0 ioAuW spuvdxo llem 2utlstxo oql o 3lmq si jjum mou t, iaglagm 8uuegs aneanai ' Sum puq aq uonsaSSns oup •laglaool xiom of sailio put, sagunoo io3 s,Cum olui Suolool Xq ,ClunoD sejSnoa gllm suotle10.1 anoidmi ,Cl!o oql aas of oNq Plnom oq p!Ls ua)j!V iagmamj!ounoD SlllOd3H'llJN(lO3 9661 `L11390,LJ0 S3.Lf1NIW-lDNnOJ 33HJLVN3M LSV330 AID
