Councilmember McArthur and Councilmember Nash agreed with Councilmember Lacy. COUNCIL REPORTS AND UPDATES Councilmember Mikow said he had attended a Vision Planning Study meeting to discuss a regional planning effort to elicit community options regarding the future livability of our area. This is a vision process to see what the area could become in twenty-five years. Councilmember Mikow said it should be a regional effort and he would like participation to include Douglas County Port District, Chelan County Port District, Douglas County, Chelan, Wenatchee, and East Wenatchee. Mayor Collings said information would be distributed to council. The next vision meeting will be May 25th. Councilmember Lacy expressed concern as to who selects the members of these committees adding there should be some type of selection process. City Planner Campbell thought this was a good idea as long as plans are defined as to what is to be achieved. Councilmember Hendricks asked that the curfew issue be discussed even though it had been removed from the agenda. Council agreed to open discussion. Councilmember Lacy said the problem with the ordinance is the infringement on rights; and to pass such a law on minors, data would be needed to justify such a reason. Councilmember Mikow said other cities should be contacted that have an ordinance in place to get a report on the effects of the ordinance. Councilmember Nash said if the city is going to enforce the state law the city should adopt the same. Mayor Collings said we should consider the effects a curfew ordinance would have on our juvenile center. Councilmember Lacy said we would have to prove the crimes being committed are being done by minors in order to have a curfew ordinance for minors in place. Council agreed the curfew ordinance issue would be left open for later discussion. Councilmember Lacy reported on the LINK board meeting he had attended. He said the board was working toward better understanding of LINK, especially relating to decision making, the Multi Modal Center and personnel. Councilmember Lacy said he had attended the Flood Hazard Management meeting. He was impressed with the forward movement, the focus on doing something and goals to deal with the issue. The plans are to prioritize the problems, find the solution and develop the funding. - 4 - - S - f`I 1 sajnseasy/xaaTo AITJ goTa��sap g ETU, iTA li • d OE : 8 - yx3Y unOf av m•d OZ:S - pauanu0aag m•d OT:g - p8u8nu03 -Aliadozd buTpjebaz UoTssas aAT-4noaxa a,3nUTM Ua} a patTeo s6UT1100-TOAl2H NOISS3S 3AIynJ3X3
