PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE DEPARTMENT REPORTS Police Chief Flinner informed Council that the K-9 dog, Dino, had been diagnosed with Cushings disease and would be unable to perform his duties in the future. Chief Flinner said Dino was a , possession of the city and there would be more medical bills. He asked Council to give Dino to Officer Webley, pay for the current bills, and future bills for tests. When Officer' Webley took ownership of Dino, he would then assume responsibility of the costs. Chief Flinner said an account had been opened at Columbia Bank for donations for another K-9 unit. Jim West would become the new K-9 Officer if and when another dog was available. He said the funding looked very positive at this time. Chief Flinner asked Council for a decision on whether the city wanted another K-9 unit and if they would approve medical costs for Dino at this time as well as giving Dino to Officer Webley. In response to questions from Councilmembers Hendricks and Lacy, Chief Flinner said, a K-9 unit was important because the very presence of the animal diffuses problems, and the jeep used for the present K-9 would be kept for another four years. He displayed hats and shirts that are available for sale for the promotion of another K-9 unit. Council Action: A motion was made by Councilmember Lacy, second by Councilmember Nash to allow for medical bills for tests for Dino,'approve the process for obtaining another K-9 dog and give Dino to Officer Webley.

He explained how fast the system works, the advantages of it and the different entities that will benefit, such as the fire districts, emergency medical services, etc. Councilmember Nash expressed some concern regarding lines being vulnerable because of diverse routing. Mr. Grimes said this is why the study is being done, to look at all the different options and develop standards. Chief Flinner said all East Wenatchee 911 calls should be dispatched directly to East Wenatchee. Sheriff LaRouche said .a resolution would be requested from Council at a later date supporting the Enhancement 911. COUNCIL REPORTS AND UPDATES Councilmember Mikow commented on Wenatchee passing a cruising ordinance. He asked what the city would be doing when the problem crossed the river to the eastside. Mayor Collings said she had attended a meeting with Chief Flinner regarding this. Different ordinances were being reviewed and conditions set as to criteria. The issue was seriously being addressed and Council would be informed. Councilmember Hendricks said LINK issues were critical, such as the multimodal issue. He was recommending Councilmember Lacy be appointed to the LINK board, since he had expressed interest. Council approved, by consensus, Councilmember Lacy being appointed to the LINK board, Councilmember Hendricks as alternate; and Mayor Collings would send an official letter informing LINK of the decision. Councilmember Lacy presented Council with a proposal for the creation of the city's own attorney. He said he was justified in doing this as a natural step in the growth of the city. The issue will be discussed at the Council retreat. The Council retreat will be held at the Four Season's Inn on January 25, 1994 at 4 p.m. ADJOURNMENT - 8:00 P.M. Virgi4lia E.
