DISCUSSION Mayor Collings said Ron Draggoo, Douglas County Solid Waste Programs, would like to address Council regarding the possibility of office space in the new city hall. Mayor Collings said she had discussed the possibility with Mr. Draggoo, Merritt+Pardini, and City staff. Herritt+Pardini said the office space could be included with the present city hall plans or it could be completed separately. Mr. Draggoo said Solid Waste was presently leasing office space in the HcQuaig Building on Eastmont Avenue and the current lease would expire December 31, however could be renewed month to month with a thirty day vacating notice. He said since Chelan County had withdrawn from the program, less office space would be needed in the future. He anticipated a need of eleven hundred square feet to accommodate staff, a resource center, a reception area, and two offices. The program would require a two year lease to coincide with the grant cycle. In response to questions from Councilmember Lacy, Mayor Collings said the current plans show the basement unfinished except for plumbing; intended for storage and future office space. She said the Solid Waste offices could be constructed on one side of the basement and storage would remain on the other side. She added a consideration for the locations of the offices was the vault, which would be supported from the basement. Adequate outside space for the additional parking required by the offices was available. - 2 - - E - •A1FJ ag1 1;aT JF uagn luau 39leM ag1 oiaMm pup 1d1FJ 9g1 ;o 1no pup oauF pauje3p s3olvm poor; dpnls PTnon HJx 'ZL6T uF PeoH lup3g POPOOT; Peg MDTgm y uoAueJ seM aagoleuaM lseg ;O d1FJ ag1 BuTIOa;;e ease ag1 PFes uo1T3eJ •3H •s3sTTop puesnogl pa3pung 90341 dTalenFxoadde aq pTnoM Apn1s agl ;0 4900 Telol 041 •Kaa33 seTbnop pue 'uoAueo pueS 'aagoleuaN lseg uF g Pup v suodueJ 'sapesFTed so; aeTd pooT; a aleTnm3o; of A1unoo seTbnoa Aq po3Fg uaaq peg HJX pFes uo1T3e3 •3H •ueTd luamobeuen piezpq pooT; a buTPaeba3 lTounoo of aKods 'A6oToog ;o luaml3eda4 •Fooy,p ETI Pup 'HJX 4UOIT320 PFAeQ •0-S 'ATsnOuTueun paF33e0 uoFlon aql •199H PTOTA Pup XDwlL SV aq1 so; 10F31sTa ToogoS luomiseg agl 01 SleTTop Al;F; paipunq oml a1ngF31u00 o1 3ng13H0H 3agmomTFouno3 Aq puooas 'Aovl 3agmamTFouno3 Aq open seM uoFlom H IUOT10v TFounoJ •93eTTop paipunq sno; pobpaTd peg ssauFsnq TeooT a pup s3eTTop paipunq onl 6uFingTaIuo0 aq pTnon a03auuOD ;o 3agmegJ aagoleuay lseg oq1 legs buFPPe 's3eTloP pa3pung 1gbFa ATeoe aq pTnoM 98Fuona3ao buFuado ag1 so; sasuadxo TeJol PFess6uFnnnJ 3H '39ATPAX9 a pue 939op3 iFegoTaagn apnTouF pTnoM goTgm Juana ag1 puelle 01 3odeH aql pa1FAUF osTp OH •luana agl 30; aouelsFsse TPTOueuF; BuFlsanbas gum aq PTes 96uFmnno "H •aledFoF43ed of poloadxa aaaM solaTgle pa3pung uanaja Pup Juana aq1 palsoq peq luomiseg 3ea6 gluaa43no; aq1 seM sTgq PFes sbuFmnnJ •3H •6Z AUK ;0 puOXegm aqJ ToogoS OTH 1uomJseg 1e pTaq aq of 1eaH PTOTJ Pup XDvll gy aql buFP3e603 TFounoJ of UOTleluasa3d a apem •1oF31OTa ToogoS luomiseg 's6uFmmn3 axi solivixsssxd •salemFlsa 4903 g1FM TFounoJ 01 3(0pq 130da3 Pup me3bo3d 91se14 PFTOS Bill 3o; goods aoF;;o ;o R1FTTgTssod aq1 g33ea823 01 0066e3Q uog azTaoglne of snsuasuoo Aq poaabe TFounoJ •uoFlon3lsuoo uno s1F p610a31uoo a1se14 PTTOS ;F uana sueTd ooF;;o agl AQTA93 PTnogs 8100lFgose 9,d1FJ 0141 119; aq PFes MoXTH 3agmamTFouno3 •slvamano3dmF luamaseq aq1 3o; 90leOT180 1900 gas 01 04TT pTnoM ago pFpa 3ng13,,oH •a1e1s ag1 Aq pano3dde aq of aneg 3agmaOlTounoJ pTnoM buFpun; Bons aouFs Tasunoo TebaT smo3boad aq1 1Tnsuoo o1 aneg pTnoM aq PTes 006be34 •3H •lua3 pa33a;ap 30; elvanaAOadmF luamaseq oql op pTnon luamlaedou alseM PFTOS agl ;F paxse 6oeZ 3agnamTFounoo Councilmember Mikow asked if federal funding was available for flood management. Hr. D'Acci said a fifty percent match could be available through the Centennial Clean Waters Act if the plan included a water quality component. Hr. Carlton said a list of funding sources would be included with the completed study. City Attorney Zimmerman asked if the study would look at a storm drainage utility. Mr. D'Acci said, while the study would not address the issue at this time, it was an important issue and a storm drainage utility was logical. Mayor Collings thanked Mr. Carlton and Mr. D'Acci for their presentation, adding Councilmember Mikow was one of two East Wenatchee members of the advisory committee for the study. MAYOR'S REPORT Mayor Collings said city staff had begun a recycling program coordinated with the Douglas County Solid Waste Program and the Zellerbach Company. She said presentations were made to City employees by both the Solid Waste Program and Zellerbach. She added the City of East Wenatchee was the first entity in Douglas County to begin a recycling program. Mayor Collings said the planning studio group from Eastern Washington University would be hosting an open house at city hall June 7 from noon to 6 P.M. The group planned to make a presentation to Council at the June 7 council meeting. Also on June 7, S. Chamberlain and Associates would give a Trail Update. Mayor Collings said she had been chosen to be a member of the Association of Washington Cities nominating committee for 1993. Mayor Collings said the grant application for the Ninth Street Improvement project had been approved and Street Superintendent Goodman and City Planner Campbell would give Council an update. Mr. Goodman said the Ninth Street Improvement Project was a high priority for the City of East Wenatchee, and also high on the priority list of the Wenatchee Area Transportation Study. Mr. Goodman said the Ninth Street bike path would be the first multimodal link from East Wenatchee to the Columbia River Trail System. The project, selected from two hundred applications, would cost almost one million dollars when completed. Hr. Goodman said the only corridor choice on Ninth Street was Corridor A since the Eastmont School District was not willing to sell its property. He said the only part of the corridor project not completed was a detailed study for property owners. Mr. Goodman said City staff would study the corridor option with the developers and property owners and areas of concern such as noise and traffic control. - S - •paaooid oq eapT poob e aq pinoM 1T 'aTgeTTene AauOm lueab 041 g1TM pue diessaoau OJOm uOTloasaaluT luomgseg pue loasl3 gluTN pal806uoo aql of sagnoa anTleusalTe Pies OH Ajaodoid Tooqos umapuoo 1ou PTnoo b1TJ aql Be aoTogo diuo aql seM V aoPTaao3 pTes AoeZ aagmamTTounoo •ames aql TIT19 seM aadoianaP aql g1Tn uOTlenlTs aql 'aaAQmOH 'anal aabuoT ou gem 1eg1 '10aCoad quamanoadmj gaaagS gluTN eql ;o laed Be aananoq 'Papaau uaaq aneq pTnOm ueTd anTsuagaadmoo s,d1To ayg of quampuaae ue 'panoadde uaaq peq 1T ;I TTounoo ao; anssT JOPT3300 aql POAaTnaa uemaammTZ AauJOIIV AITJ •T aaqualdoS Aq pagebTigo aq of peq spun; 9q1 Pies aN 'buTpun; aq1 Idaooe of seM dais gxau aq1 pue :buTpun; ao; panoadde pue PallTmgns uaaq peq uOTIeOTTdde queab aql pTes uempoOf) luapuaquTaadnS laaalS 'BXDTapuaH aagmamTTounoo moa; uoTlsanb a oq asuodsaa ui 'ssaoons a Ioefoad aq1 aKem of ouazTlTo Pug TTounoo aq1 g1Tm 6uTKaOm 01 Paenao; PDXOOT ag pTes TTagdaeo •aH •gbTq aoTun� agg Is auo pue TTeg IITo Mau eq1 aeou auO 1190alS gluTN uO sino-TTnd snq buToeTd UT palsaaaluT seM %NIZ PTes Tiagdmeo aH 'xT; dagaodmal a uegl aaglea Aenpeoa Mau a aq pinoM aopTaaoo aql pue 'saopTaaoo loam-lsea ao; peau aql 'malsAS TTeal aaATH eTgmnToD aql g1TM uoTloauuoo Bled aKTq agl pepniouT panoadde gem lueab agq suoseaa aql ;o amos pTes OH •aoTogo aoPTaaoo diuo agq seM y aoPTaaoD 1TO; osTe aq PTes TTagdmeo aH ZluamdoTanap oTmou000 aouequa goafoad sTgq saoQ TZ ZuoTggdToTgaed alenTad ao/pue oTTgnd ;o esn axem goa�oad sTgl saoQ 'oz 'quads sagiTOP aql ao; anTen mnoTxem saPTnoad loa�oad sTgq MOg uTaTdx3 '61 ZsaopTaaoo AgM ;o Ig6Ta 6uTnaasaad anTonuT loa�oad sTgq saoQ 'gT 1T;auaq OPTM01949 ao/pus TeuOT603 agq d;Tguapl 'LT •anTlenouuT sT 404oad sT41 Moq pue AgM agTaosaQ 'gT •luamuoaTnua aql saouegua 109�oad sTgl Moq agTaosaQ 'ST •sapom uoTgegaodsueaq anTleuaalie sabeanooua goafoad sTgq Moq agTaosaQ -VT 'A1TTToe; uoTgelaodsueaq 6uTgsTxa agl 3o asn aallaq aKem TTTM 4oa�oad sTg1 Moq agTaosaQ '£T apaooaa aqq o1uT uoTgeoTidde lueab agl uoa; suoTlsanb peace TTagdmeo aauueTd A4TJ Several citizens addressed the issue regarding the Eighth and Ninth Street Corridors ' Richard Carlsen, 627 Sheri Court, said he would like a guarantee from Council that Fairmont Street would not go through to Eighth Street. Mayor Collings said the recommendation of staff was for Fairmont Street to remain as it is. Councilmember Lacy said unless there was a strong legal reason or inadequate emergency vehicle access, the street could remain as it is. Currently, emergency vehicle access is available from Tenth Street Northeast and there is a break away barrier at the end of Fairmont Street. City Attorney Zimmerman said Council could not make a firm guarantee without the input of the fire department, city engineers, and property developers. Dave Bernstein, 612 Cindy Court, asked for the name of the developer; how the diagonal property on either side of the corridor would be maintained; and who would be responsible for it. City Planner Campbell said the developer was Jack Hale and his latest plans included single family residences. Mr. Campbell said he was uncertain who was responsible for the land on either side of the corridor, but suspected it would be the developer. Hr. Bernstein said if the strips of land were not the responsibility of the developer, he would like to see the City take it over or, give adjacent property owners an opportunity to buy it. Earl Fike, 770 Eighth Street Northeast, asked if Eighth Street would be abandoned and how the corridor would affect his house on Eighth Street. Code Compliance officer Wiltz said the corridor would have no affect on Hr. Fike's property. John Sterk, 624 Sheri Court, asked about the timeframe of the corridor project and if citizens would be able to view the developer's plans. Mayor Collings said actual construction of the corridor was not anticipated to begin before next spring. - L - I Kialo AlTo dgndaa uemA3q Aoo epuTZ m'd 9T '8 - SRYHx)jnofQY '0-S 'ATsnomTueun paT33eo UOTgom aqy UOTIOauuoo 109348 gquTH pue gzg6Tg aqq aO; Vj 3OpTaaOD ans3nd oq pue goa�oid quamanosdml gaa3gg gluTN aqq 3O; UOTgeoTTdde que36 aqq gdaooe oq quamg3edaa buTuueTd aqq goazTp oq noKTH 3ogm8mTTOunOO Aq puooas 'doez 3agm9mTTounO3 Aq apem sen uoTgom y IUOTgOV TTounoo •UOTaToap 3Tagq 30; TTounoo oq 9006 uagq uOTgepu9mmooa3 s,uOTssTmmOD BUTUueTd aqy 'UOTssTmmoD buTuueTd aqq 030;aq pTaq sT BUTgaam OTTgnd a pue paT;Tgou a3e quamdoTanap aqq ;o qaa; peapunq aa3gq uTggTM s39uno dg3ado3d 'quamg3edap sTq oq paggTmqns sen BuTUoz ;o e5uegO 30; uOTgeOTTdde ue 30 uOTIeOTTdde quamdoTanap gTun pauueTd a uagn pies TTagdmeo •3}Z •OTTgnd aqq oq elgeTTene a3am pue paooa3 oTTgnd ameoaq dagq 'aoT;;o sTq 01 paggTmqns a3am sueTd uagn pies TTagdmeo 3auueTd AITJ
