CITY OF EAST WENATCHEE COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 4, 1996
Mayor Collings posed the question to Council. Did Council wish to approve the 1991 Preliminary
' Budget as presented with the Gambling Tax being implemented at the maximum amount?
Council Action: Councilmember Hendricks, second by Councilmember Frack to vote on the question.
The 1997 Preliminary Budget as presented failed by a vote of 2-5 (Hendricks, Frack, Mikow, Lacy,
Carson).
Mayor Collings reminded Council we now had an unbalanced budget and needed to schedule another
workshop as soon as possible. Council set November 13, 1996 at the next workshop date. Mayor
Collings added we needed to plan for the future and this budget left little in it for any future planning.
MAYOR'S REPORT
Mayor Collings said the Juvenile Curfew Ordinance with Douglas County needed to be discussed as to
the time of the curfew and whether East Wenatchee wished to change their time to match the county.
Chief Harrison said he preferred leaving our curfew time as it is. Council agreed with Chief Harrison
and no change will be made.
Mayor Collings advised Council of the Chamber meeting on Tuesday; Enhance East Wenatchee on
Wednesday at noon; and the LINK Transfer Study at 7 p.m. on Thursday at City Hall.
COUNCIL REPORTS AND UPDATES
' Councilmember Aiken asked Street Superintendent Goodman if a sign could be posted at Colorado
noting the street was a deadend. Mr. Goodman said he had already ordered the sign.
