CITIZEN COMMENTS Jennifer Olsen, representing Citizens for Quality of Life, said she felt some confusion after reading the article in the Wenatchee World stating four councilmembers were in favor of a mall at the Odabasian bridge. Ms. Olsen said the article was written to look as though some councilmembers are abandoning ' the decision of land use in the area. Councilmember Aiken said the article should have read, he was in favor of the mall expansion in East Wenatchee; however, if for some reason the expansion did not go through then he would like to see it at the Odabasian bridge area to keep it in Douglas County. John Allen, 2250 Rock Island Road, said he also had concerns about the article in the Wenatchee World regarding the mall. He reminded council he was working with the mall owners toward the expansion. The following persons, owners or managers of establishments in East Wenatchee that provide gambling, asked Council to reconsider the gambling tax: Dennis Carino, Buzz Inn Steakhouse, residing at 1650 Eastmont Avenue, East Wenatchee Ella Smith, Willie's Sports Bar & Grill, 921 Valley Mall Parkway, East Wenatchee Richard Whipple, Columbia Distributing, residing at 1530 Country Club Drive, East Wenatchee Ken Dominguez, Clearwater Saloon, 838 Valley Mall Parkway, East Wenatchee Lou Simmonds, Minn's Tavern and 5 T's Restaurant, residing at 1900 Sunset Highway, East Wenatchee PROCLAMATION Mayor Collings read a proclamation declaring November 18-22, 1996, as National Education Week..

Mr. Goodman said he had received a letter from the developer of the Third Street Corporation asking to defer improvements to property located at the southwest comer of Eastmont Avenue and 3rd Street. Mr. Goodman said the City may grant a deferment for the implementation of the required improvements. Ordinance 431 allows for such a deferment. This would give the developer time to do the improvements, or require reimbursement to the city when they made the improvements. Council Action: A motion was made by Councilmember Lacy, second by Councilmember Mikow to accept the request of the developer to defer improvements to the property located at the southwest comer of Eastmont Avenue and 3rd Street. The motion carried, 7-0. Finance Clerk/Treasurer Oestreich submitted the figures based on the changes from the last budget workshop. She said a gambling tax at one percent would add fifteen thousand dollars in revenues and the first year cost would be approximately five thousand dollars. She gave council figures on how much revenue could be generated by implementing a utility tax on garbage, sewer, water, power, and telephone. After Council discussion; Ms. Oestreich was directed to prepare the budget for approval by removing the gambling and admission taxes and implementing a garbage utility tax and recycling procedure for East Wenatchee.
