PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE DEPARTMENT REPORTS Maintenance Superintendent Goodman reported on the status of the Eleventh Street and Highline Canal guardrail. He said missing reflectors had been replaced, a warning sign installed and a wide white stripe painted to call attention to the canal. Mr. Goodman suggested lighting as a possible alternative to a guardrail. Code Compliance Code Compliance Officer Wiltz said there is some interest in new annexations into the City. Mr. Wiltz suggested public hearings be held to answer citizen questions regarding annexation benefits and the comprehensive plan. Councilmember Lacy questioned the timing of annexation. He suggested waiting until spring. Mayor Collings said she felt the timing was right and important and beginning an annexation process now, would allow more citizen involvement in the new city hall process. Councilmember Mikow said many members of the community have asked him when the City plans another annexation. He said the City needed to represent more of the community than the city limits now permit. Council agreed by consensus to begin the public hearing process for annexations. - 1 - -z- •dboloog ;o luaml3edaa ay1 paloeluoo dpe93le peT aqs pTes sbuTlloo ZOAPH •lTounoa 9y1 of uoTleluasa3d a aXem A50Toog ;0 luamlied90 ag1 buTneT papuammooea ay A1unoo selbnoQ mo3; apTsp dTTsuoTlela3 a dolanap pinogs AITO ayl 'Isaa9gUT s,AITO aql 9n3asa3d o1 pTes SamyeQ •3H •1o31u00 pool; buTp3p593 Aboloog ;o lu9ml3edaQ 8y1 4ITM dTgsuoTlej93 uMo SIT dolanap AITO aql papu9mwooa3 'saleToossV m935s3o3 '93ooH 11ooS pup zamgeQ qoa '(MoXTW - uTelsge) •0-q 'paT33eo uoTlom aqy -spun; pool; uoTlpn3asuoo lTos ;o uoTlezT3oglneap aq1 ano3dde of sXoT3pu9y SagmamlTounoo Aq paooas 'AoeZ iagwawlTounoo hq apew seM uoTlow V 3uoT1oV U ounoo •alpp aanin; a le Aldde 01 papToap AITO aql uagM algplTpne aq hlaXTT Isom pTnoo spun; pTes 39g19Te3eg SN 'dovj SagmamlTounoo mo3; uoTlsanb a 01 SaMsup ui 1 •Ioa[o3d lelol ayl ;o Iueo3ad xTs-AIuanas se gonm se aq pinoo BUT pun; 'buTAlddeea uagM 'aan1n; aq1 uT spun; So; buTAlddpa3 pup loaloid leuTbT3o aq1 So; spun; pool; aq1 6uTzTioglneap palsabbns Sag49Te3pa SN •alemTlsa leaT5T3o 9q1 upgl atom gonm os aq pinOm loa[oad aql ;o Isoa lenlop aql aouTS 'sXooq STagl ;;0 loaCo3d STg1 lab o1 aXTT pinoM aoT;;o STy pTes 1agl9Tp3e9 •Sq 'ubTsap SIT uT V uodueo papnlouT Aluo leuT6T3o aqy '9IpwTlsa leuTbT3o aT1 algnop pinoM 1oa[o3d auoz pool; Mau a ;o lsoo aqy '1S9381uT oTTgnd g6noua pale3auab 1ou pey pup L86T uT seM spun; pool; 6uTpse5a3 Anal puoq lsel aq-4 pTes 11TZ •3H -spun; pool; uoTlen3asuoo lTos ;o uoTlpzT3oglne9p ay1 buTp3e5a3 aXods 4uoTlpn3asuoa TToS 'Sayl8Te3p9 X2eW pue 'butuueld hlunoo sel5no0 'IITZ ASSar H011VINNSSNd •dogsX3oM aq1 3o sllnsea aql gITM TTounoo luasaad o1 TuTp3ed+11T33aN So; 6Z Sagoloo 3o; palnpagos aq pinoM buTlaam lTounoo leToads V 'lleq AITO Mau ag1 buTpap5a3 1nduT ;;e1s pup hlTunmmoo lab of SZ Sagoloo uo dogsX3oM ls3t; aql ploy 01 aXTl pinoM TuTp31ed+11T1S9W pTes yoT931sao •sq •dogsX3oM TZ aagoloo 9q1 le suoTleluasa3d aXpm pinoM 'spun3 wnTpelS se Tons 'saTuow 41To 5uTlsan13a3 S9TITlu9 apTslno •sdogsXaoM Iabpnq 1s3T; aq1 So; 9Z Sagoloo pup TZ Sagoloo Ias 01 lTounoo paXse aqs •ZT Sagoloo dq TTounoo So; Apea3 aq pinoM sla6pnq h3puTwTlaad pTes yoTailsao Sa3nse931/XSal3 A1TO aouemT3 CONTRACT CONSIDERATION 92-10-01 Contract proposal with Merritt+Pardini architectural/engineering team for the new city hall Councilmember Lacy was concerned that the City Hall Building Committee was not involved with the design process with Merritt+Pardini. He said he would like to contact Mr. Pardini and discuss some of the committee's ideas. He hoped to reduce the thirty thousand dollar estimate listed in the contract by utilizing the committee's ideas and he felt some of the ideas could answer issues to be discussed at the workshops. Councilmember Mikow said Council was not trained in the architectural/engineering field and not qualified to take the lead in the project. He said it was important to have the community input which the workshops would provide. City Clerk/Treasurer Oestreich said she had spoken with Mr. Pardini and clarified some issues in the contract. The thirty thousand dollar estimate included all of phase one of the proposal. It did not include phase two. Mayor Collings suggested approving the contract now and suggested Councilmember Lacy speak with Mr. Pardini and report back at the next council meeting. ' Council Action: A motion was made by Councilmember Lacy, second by Councilmember Mikow to authorize the Mayor, with the assistance of the City Attorney, to negotiate the contract with Merritt+Pardini based on the terms of their cost proposal. The motion carried, 5-0. COUNCIL REPORTS AND UPDATES Councilmember Mikow said he attended a meeting of past presidents of the East Wenatchee Chamber of Commerce. Attendees felt more communication between the Chamber and the City Council was needed. The Chamber would like a Councilmember to become an ex officio member of the Chamber. Councilmember Lacy said he had contacted Municipal Research regarding the Twelfth Street storm situation and the City's legal obligation. He determined the City had no liability as the drainage system was installed by a private contractor. The County had no maintenance obligation and, therefore, the City inherited the same conditions and did not need to assume a legal responsibility. Councilmember Mikow with Councilmembers legal liability. said he had discussed the storm drain issue from other cities and agreed the City had no - 3 - -v- 1 393nsea3y/X3aTp AgTJ yaTa3gs90 •S ez".63tA ' w' d S T: s - INSHNERof aV '0-S 'PaT33e0 aOTgow ayy •pat;TTenb ISOM ayg ggTM 91eTg06au oq p9zT3oggne 3oXew aq1 pue pagoaTas aq pTnoM sw3T; ;o gsTT y •eZep eouew3o;3ad pue suoTge0T7Tjenb aO paseq pagoaTas aq pTnoM wsi; agy •sTseq AT3eaA a uo w3T; baT3aauTbua ue 3O; 8sTg3anpe 01 'sXOT3puaH 3agwawTTounoo Aq puoaas 'noel 3agw8wTTOunoo .Cq apew seM uoTgow v :uoTgOV TTounop •buTop aq pTnoM .C1Tp ayq sgoaCoad ;o 3agwnu aqg 3o3 papeau aq pTnoo w3T3 buT39auTbua auO uegg aJOM pue '986T @OUTS pabueyO qou peg 1oes1uoO 5uT3aauTbua 4uasaad ayq pies aH AlTenuue paMaua3 goeaquoo a aXTT pTnoM ay pies uewpoog quapuaquT3adns •goa[o3d goea 3o; gunowe pagoejquoo a pue saotn3as ATTep 30; age3 AT3noq up ygTM 'w3T; buT399uTbu9 us ggTM gOe3quOa ,STSeaA a pagsabbns aqs •sgoaCoid E66T a0; gOe3gUO0 Mau a pue saOTnsas buT3aauTbu9 seM dogsX3OM TTounop aqg ge uoTssnOstp ;o wagT ue pies sbuTTTOD 3oAeH luodSH SIUOAKH •p93Ts9p ;T 6uT3eaq OTTgnd a pTog pTnoo TTounop •butgaaw OTTgnd a qv uoTgepuawwoo93 suoTssTwwop buTuueTd aq-4 quasaad pTnoM guawg3edap buTuueTd aqy •9uoz93 suoTgOa3300 ;o quaw43edea agq buTpaeba3 5uT3e8g OTTgnd e pToy 0 1 paeu pTnoM TTounop aq1 ;T paXse MoXTH 3agwawTTOunOD •M9Tna3 aagg3n; 3o; sbuT1100 ZOAV H Oq 3ag1aT ayq aneb aH •A3essaoau aq Aew uOissas anTlnoaxa us pagoadsns ay pup ❑OTgebigiT panTonai 3algaT agy •s,5033 3ouas ;o 3auno 'PAOquojj p3egOTy wo3; 3911aT a paniaaai peg aq pies Roe? 3agwawTTOunop
