PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE PROCLAMATION Mayor Collings read a proclamation of the City of East Wenatchee I proclaiming the week of September 27 through October 1, United Way Week in East Wenatchee. PRESENTATIONS Jack Hill, representing the Senior Center, gave a brief history of the Senior Center. Several sites, including the Wenatchee Convention Center and the Grand Central Building in downtown Wenatchee had been considered for the center. Property on Maple Street was purchased for construction of the center. Over one million dollars was raised towards the construction of the building, with the City of Wenatchee assisting with architectural expenses. Mr. Hill said the Senior Center would need financial assistance for operational costs from the City of Wenatchee, the City of East Wenatchee, and Chelan and Douglas Counties. Estimated operational costs for 1994 were one hundred seventy thousand dollars, however, estimated revenues were only thirty-six thousand dollars. Such projects as a thrift shop, bingo, extended meals, and rental space within the Senior Center could bring revenues up to ninety thousand dollars. In response to questions from Council, Mr. Hill said Dr. Larry , Hauge, consultant for the Senior Center, would be the contact persons about questions regarding financial assistance. Mr. Hill said the financial request was not yet available. The Senior Center is separate from the Retired Seniors Volunteer Program and would receive little United Way funding. - 1 - City Attorney Peter Fraley reviewed the 1992 Cable Act for Council. Mr. Fraley said the main issue regarding the cable act was whether the City wished to regulate cable rates. Mr. Fraley said the City could apply for certification to regulate cable rates and the rates could be regulated for the basic cable service. Rates for expanded basic and premium channels such as Showtime and Home Box Office could not be regulated. Mr. Fraley said the Federal Communications Commission had frozen cable rates in the spring of 1993. however, the freeze would end on November 15, 1993. Certification could take thirty days and should be completed before November 15 to be effective. Mr. Fraley said, although the cable operator and the FCC suggested waiting to see if regulation was necessary, the recommendation of legal counsel was to apply for certification. Mr. Fraley said a joint certification with the City of Wenatchee might be considered to reduce costs. In response to questions from Councilmembers Mikow and Lacy, Mr. Fraley said the certification would allow the City to regulate only cable rates not programming. He said the City already regulated programming through it's franchise agreement with the cable operator. Council agreed by consensus to authorize a resolution toward certification to regulate cable fees be placed on the September 20, 1993 council agenda.

INTERLOCALS AND RESOLUTIONS 93-08-05 Discussion and possible adoption of a resolution and interlocal regarding the Wenatchee Housing Authority City Attorney Zimmerman said if the City gave authority to the Wenatchee Housing Authority, it would be permanent. He said the Revised Code of Washington had no provisions for regaining that authority and authority would need to be in the form of an interlocal agreement. Mr. Zimmerman said it would not be difficult for the City of East Wenatchee to establish its own housing authority. He added giving up the authority to the Wenatchee Housing Authority would mean loosing a lot of local control. Marti Sterling and Alicia Robertson, Wenatchee Housing Authority addressed Council. Ms. Sterling said the Wenatchee Housing Authority considered itself one entity representing both the City of Wenatchee and the City of East Wenatchee. She said a name ' change to the Greater Wenatchee Housing Authority was being considered. Ms. Robertson said Section 8 funding was already being provided in East Wenatchee on a need basis by the Wenatchee Housing Authority without compensation. Councilmember Lacy said he was not opposed to meeting the needs of East Wenatchee residents, however, he felt it was important for the City of East Wenatchee to continue development as a municipality and an autonomous entity. He said he felt the City should take responsibility for such programs itself. Councilmember Lacy said he would support an interlocal agreement contracting with the Wenatchee Housing Authority which included provisions for the future termination of the contract and for annexation of Douglas County properties under the authority of the Wenatchee Housing Authority. He said he would also support the formation of the City's own housing authority. He said he could not, however, support a resolution that did not include a provision for regaining the authority given to the Wenatchee Housing Authority. Council Action: A motion was made by Councilmember Lacy, second by Councilmember McArthur to form an East Wenatchee Housing Authority and negotiate with the Wenatchee Housing Authority to contract services. - 4 - - S - 1 •quawaszopua aqq gsuTebe agoA pTnoM aq os suazTgTO Aq uo pagOA aq oq sanssT aszopua oq aOpld s,TT0unO3 aqq qou seM qT qla; aq pTes SXOTzpuaH sagwawTTounoO •anssT puoq uoTquagap aTTUannC aqq .zo; ITounoo AgTO aagOgpuaµ gseg aqq woz; quawasiopua 3aggoue pagsanbaz ppg Ilapipµ ToseO a6pnr q.znoO JOTiadns pTes s6uTTTOD JOApK anssl puo8 uoTquagaa eTTuannr AqunoO seTbnoa aqq ;o quawassopua aTgTssod pup uoTssnosTa L0-80-£6 Noissnosia NOIIVINSHSgJHI aNK NOI,LVHISINIHaV ONINNv'Id a.LSVM aI70S 9AIIVH2do00 Hoa JNIaIA0Hd A.LNnOO SVgDnOa HSIM INSH22HOV gVD0'IHRIHI KV ONIIdOatl 'NOISNIHSHM 4SaH3IVK3M SSVS 30 AIIO 3HI aO N0IS.n'I0SaH H 01-£6 N0I1n70SEH 'O-S 'ATsnowTupun paT JPD uoTgow aqy •ueTd 4uawa6euuK agseµ pTToS aqq buTpa?BaJ AqunoO seTbnoa gqTM Tv0OTzaquT pup uOTgnlosa.z aqq gdopp og inggzyoH 3agwawlTounoO Aq puooas 'sXOTzpuaH iagwawTTounor Aq appw seM uoTgow y :uOTg0y TTounOD •sJPI Top puesnogq uaq paipung oMq seM g66T jog gunowe ga6pnq pagedToTque aqq 'sanaMog 45=4aaw ITounoo gseT aqq qe IsOD egTdeo zad aqq pagonbsTw peq aq pTes 'agseM PTIOS AgunoO spTbno❑ 'oobbe,za uog 'Aae'I JagwawTTOunOD MOJ; SUOTgsanb oq asuodsaa uI •agseM pTTos go anssT aqq uT aappal 1puoTbea a aq oq AgTO aqq jog AgTungioddo up apTAosd pTnoM qT pTps aH •wezboad agseµ pTToS Agunoo selbnoa aqq uTol aagOgpuaµ gseg ;o AgTO aqq papuawwoaaJ TTagdwp0 •ali •quawabpupw ggMozb io; suOTgeiapTsuoa gqTM aangn; aqg spzpMoq paXOOT pup padoTanap-TTaM seM wpiboad agseµ pTToS Aqunoo selbnoa aqg pTps aH 'LL'£S sum AqunoO selbnoa UT gsoo egTdpo .zed pagedToTque 666T aqq pTes TTagdwe0 •.zH •awTq quasaid aqq qe we.zboad padoTanap-TTaM e aneq IOU pTp AqunoO ueTagO pup weibozd aqq ,zo; Aauow g6noua aq pTnoM qpqq anaTTaq IOU pTp aq pTes ITagdweo •iW uosiad iad 06'TS 3o gsoo agewTxo.zdde up aq pTnoM STgy •wej6o.zd TeTgTUT aqq Jog szellop puesnogq paipunq auo pagabpnq ppq AqunoO ueTagO pTes aH •wp.zbo.zd agseM PTIOS AqunoO ueTagO aq-4 uo pagzodaz TTagdwp0 iauueTd AgTO ueTd quaw96eupW agseM PTIOS aqq 5uzpie6aJ TeOOIJaquT pup uoTgnTosaz e ;o uoTgdopp aTgTssod pup uoTssnosTa 90-80-£6 '0-S 'AlsnowTupun paTizeO uoTgow aqy •UOTgewao;uT TeuOTgTppe buTpued AgTioggny buTsnoH aagogeuaµ gseg up buTwJO; uoTgow agq aTgeg oq Aopq aagwawlTounoO Aq puooas 'sXOTzpuaH ,zagwawTTOunOD Aq apew seM uoTgow y :uoTgaV ITounoo 'TeAOSdde so; p.zpoq aATgnoaxa sgT oq AgTaogqny 6uTsnOH aagOgeuaµ aqq gqTM saOTAJas gOezguoo oq lesodoad s,AgTO aqq quasasd oq aneq pTnoM aqs pTes uosgzagoH •s{l Councilmember Lacy said the law specifically allowed legislative bodies to endorse propositions which would have positive community effects.
