ROLL CALL Councilmembers Present: Councilmember McArthur, Councilmember Mikow, Councilmember Hendricks, Mayor Collings. Councilmembers Lacy and Nash excued. Staff Present: Virginia Oestreich, Dana Barnard, Randy Harrison, Bob Goodman, Charles Zimmerman. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE PROCLAMATION - Healthy Kids Day CITIZENS COMMENTS The executive committee of Eastside Together Coalition presented Council with a letter of intent to annexation of portions of the East Wenatchee Urban Growth Boundary. Skip Johnson, a coalition member, explained the coalitions process to date, noting the concerns of the citizens in I regards to decisions being made by the county. Jennifer Olsen, also a coalition member, read the following memorandum to Council to become part of the record. "We, the Executive Committee of the Eastside Together Coalition, propose to introduce a solution to the impasse with the county over land use within the Greater East Wenatchee Urban Growth Boundary. Through the recent planning process, we can now plainly see that East Wenatchee area residents are faced with two conflicting comprehensive plans, one which represents the priorities as presented by the people through the public planning process, and the county plan which does not. One of these comprehensive plans will ultimately shape the future of our community, and the Eastside Together Coalition suggests that the people should be given the right to choose which plan they would live under. The land within the Greater East Wenatchee Urban Growth Boundary will eventually become part of the City of East Wenatchee. It makes sense that the people of the uxban area should have the opportunity to be represented by an urban government, while the -county government should concentrate on serving the rural areas. 1 CITY OF EAST WENATCHEE COUNCIL MINUTES AUGUST 7, 1995 On August 2, 1995, the Douglas County Commissioners demonstrated how county interests significantly conflict with urban concerns and values. We feel it would be a terrible mistake to ' allow the county to implement their plan for the East Wenatchee area, which is inconsistent with the community's expressed vision for the future, and our regard for orderly development which complements our quality of life, and economic vitality. 1 I Therefore we, the Eastside Together Coalition, are endeavoring to see that the issue of annexation be put to a vote of the people, so that the citizenry of the Greater East Wenatchee Area may choose who they will be served and governed by, and which comprehensive plan they will live under. We hereby propose to annex, by election method -initiated by 10% petition, all areas within the East Wenatchee Urban Growth Boundary (except for the Baker Flats Industrial Area) into the City of East Wenatchee. In early September, we will provide to you a petition which includes the signatures necessary to place the annexation proposal on the ballot for voter approval. In the mean while, we request technical assistance from appropriate City staff to ensure that we are following proper procedures, time lines and other pertinent considerations. We believe annexation of this area into the city will put an end to county tax base squabbles which threaten the integrity of our community. The purpose of the Eastside Together Coalition is to allow the residents of the greater East Wenatchee area to live togetheras one community, and to be represented by a responsive, local government. We are committed to seeing such a day. Signed by the Eastside Together Coalition, Executive Committee members: Hal Blean, Paige Balling, Jennifer Olsen, Bill Stroud, Bob Larse, Dick Olton, Skip Johnson."
