I realize that negotiating for a change in the contract with Waste Management will be difficult, but we need you to be advocates for this change, as with our rapidly increasing population there will be a concurrent increase on the existing facilities Sincerely, Bruce Keleman326 North Kansas Ave. East Wenatchee, Wa. brucekeleman@gmail.com Virus-free.www.avast.com 04-16-2024 City Council Agenda Packet Page 24 of 135 East Wenatchee Council Agenda Bill To: Mayor and Council From/Presenter: Trina Elmes, Events Director/PIO Subject: East Wenatchee Events Board Funding Recommendation Date: April 16, 2024 I.Summary Title: Lodging Tax Request, $15,000, for Wenatchee FC Youth’s Apple Cup 2024, August 2-4, 2024.

Summary Title: Lodging Tax Request, $120,000, for the City of East Wenatchee’s Events Department for a portable stage to improve the City’s tourism-related facilities and events. II. Background/History: The current stage has outlived its life expectancy, does not have a canopy, takes 2-3 hours to set up and take down. It is very cumbersome and is becoming a hazard to events utilizing it and to staff who put it up and take it down multiple times a year. This new stage is a trailer that can be pulled by one of our Public Works trucks and opens into a 20’ x 24’ stage with a metal canopy. It takes two people only 45 minutes to set up and take down and will be available for other events to utilize. The City is looking to attract more tourism events and this request qualifies as a capital improvement, because our events do use our roadways. III. Recommended Action: The East Wenatchee Events Board is recommending to fund the City of East Wenatchee’s request at $100,000 for a stage. IV. Exhibits: 1.

Why are you interested in serving as an East Wenatchee City Council member? I wish to continue my local community service that I experienced as a fire commissioner in East Wenatchee, Douglas County. This commitment to be considered for appointment to city council is made with a complete understanding of the many hours and efforts to be dedicated that are required to properly serve as an active and fully prepared council member in preparation for every council meeting, workshop, special meetings and public events. 2. Explain your current and past community involvement and /or service in the Wenatchee Valley and how that has prepared you to serve on the East Wenatchee City Council? My various areas of community involvement are detailed on page 1 of my résumé contained in this application packet. These experiences have helped me in my fire commissioner service, as well as an interested and active member of our community, and would enhance my council member duties. 3. What experience or talent would you bring to the East Wenatchee City Council that would strengthen the group as a whole? During my fire commissioner service, I dedicated nearly twenty hours of reading and research throughout each month in preparation for meetings and actions before the Board. I strongly believe that this practice of time investment transfers well into a council member who must work as a team player with the other council members, mayor, city clerk, city attorney, departments heads, employees and citizens of our community. My planning and budget management experience in cities and fire districts would be very applicable to the responsibilities of our city’s council process. I am very aware of the needed team approach that ensures a strong council element in our local government. 04-16-2024 City Council Agenda Packet Page 93 of 135 EXHIBIT A 2 Supplemental Questions and Answers, Castellente, Ettore J page 2 4.What do you believe the City could be doing better than what the City currently does? •Continue the pledge to update our Strategic Plan crafted by our city staff, and not allow it to gather dust on its cover. o We should consider dedicating an annual workshop to evaluate our focus on its intent and time invested. This effort would ensure that the city remains proactive rather than reactive throughout our overall areas of responsibilities. •Continue to focus on remaining adaptable and flexible to make necessary adjustments, remain effective and efficient in our governance, ensure collaborative partnerships in our valley with all government agencies, the commercial community, and with our citizens who rely on city government to maintain a safe and healthy environment to live. 5.What is your vision for our City and Community? To remain proactive in all of our financial, infrastructure, community safety, and collective valley preparedness programs. To remain involved in preparing for the future with our partners in Douglas County, the City of Wenatchee, Chelan County, and the many public service and public safety agencies. To review and strengthen important plans, such as our Strategic Plan and our Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan. To maintain the communications with the citizens of our community. 04-16-2024 City Council Agenda Packet Page 94 of 135 EXHIBIT A 1 Ettore J Castellente 1494 Eastmont Ave Unit 49 East Wenatchee, WA 98802-8323 ettorej@yahoo.com 509.881.5230 Objective: To continue my community service in East Wenatchee, Douglas County, Wenatchee Valley, Washington as an appointed city council member.

I am particularly drawn to the opportunity to serve on the East Wenatchee City Council because of my passion for community development, and my commitment to effective governance. I believe my diverse background equips me with a unique perspective and skill set that would be valuable in setting legislative policy, adopting budgets, and determining services for the city. 04-16-2024 City Council Agenda PacketPage 106 of 135 EXHIBIT A I am eager to bring my strategic mindset, collaborative approach, and dedication to excellence to the City of East Wenatchee.

My vision for our community is to create a vibrant, inclusive, and sustainable city where safety is paramount, recreational opportunities are known, and affordable housing options are abundant for our citizens.

Your Council’s commitment to our ciƟzens and the upcoming comprehensive plan inspired me to apply. I believe that my mulƟ-disciplinary background in data analysis, energy engineering, and community outreach will strengthen your group. I feel called to serve my community. My work and acƟviƟes have always focused around making my locale a beƩer place to live for all, in whatever way I can. In recent years, I launched Together Wenatchee at the beginning of COVID restricƟons, a community website resource turned social media group (now lead by collaborators) to connect our community and support local businesses. I lead Grassroots Dataworks, a nonprofit that served local nonprofits with technical soluƟons to improve their work and beƩer arƟculate its impact. My recent work at Chelan County PUD focuses on sharing and designing uƟlity energy efficiency programs that help homeowners, low-income households, and local businesses – helpful experience even if on the wrong side of the river. Finally, as a local business owner of Empower Dataworks, I am acutely aware of and commiƩed to ensuring economic wellbeing of our community and ensuring local businesses can thrive. These experiences, my deep connecƟons throughout our area, and my fluency in Spanish will help me make City iniƟaƟves more visible, offer different avenues for ciƟzen feedback, and effecƟvely support the Council and your goals as we manage the immense growth in our area. East Wenatchee is growing rapidly, while much of our local growth falls outside of the benefits, direcƟon, and services the City offers. I would like to ensure that our governance reflects the reality and guide this growth to best meet our community needs. In parƟcular, I look forward to parƟcipaƟng in the comprehensive 10-year plan that will shape our area’s trajectory.

Why are you interested in serving as an East Wenatchee City Council member? East Wenatchee is the epicenter of rapid growth in our valley, yet City growth doesn’t fully capture these changes. It should. It’s vital that city leaders ensure changes are as intentional as possible while honoring the city’s roots. I would like to offer a unique skillset and perspective to this crucial process as a councilmember to make our city a better place as our community grows. In particular, I’m excited about participating in upcoming comprehensive planning. I used to take for granted that city leadership was for other people—not me. However, I’ve realized that exceptional community leadership comes from people just like me: those passionate about their community and seeking to offer their skills and include others in improving it. As I’ve grown as an active community member, business owner, and volunteer in this valley, I’ve come to see how I can meaningfully serve the City to strengthen our communities and economy, without forgetting people often left out of growth. I also have built the relationships and language skills needed to engage the community. While I have lived in many communities over my adult life, my home has always been the Wenatchee Valley. This valley is where my younger siblings grew up, where my treasures have lived in my family’s barn as I’ve traveled, and the center of all our family gatherings. I’m thrilled to now be established and grow my own family here. I’m also eager to apply my diverse experiences and energy back to our community. 04-16-2024 City Council Agenda Packet Page 120 of 135 EXHIBIT A Lacy Stockton Page 2 of 5 04/10/2024 2. Explain your current and past community involvement and/or service in the Wenatchee Valley and how that has prepared you to serve on the East Wenatchee City Council. I’ve immersed myself in a variety of local industries, businesses, and community organizations as a business owner, local nonprofit director, and most recently as the Energy Efficiency Marketing Strategist for Chelan PUD. Instead of a siloed viewpoint from a single industry, I can provide a holistic understanding of the issues brought to the Council and link our community organizations and leaders in innovative ways. Currently, I direct marketing and person-to-person outreach in Chelan County. While on the “wrong” side of the Columbia, this work allows me to deepen connections with nonprofits, businesses, and community members that live and operate in East Wenatchee and understand our interconnectedness. I also began Together Wenatchee, the grassroots response to the pandemic to help our community support one another and local businesses during an uncertain time. As the former director of a local nonprofit that supports community organizations, I’ve had the opportunity to work with dozens of local nonprofits on improving their technical capacities and data-driven decision making. In collaboration with strategic local partners, we developed the Path to Clarity framework for strategic planning and stakeholder engagement – helpful experience as East Wenatchee pursues its planning cycle. I’ve learned about the community issues affecting our valley from those actively working on them. I’ve also delved into the data around these key issues, helped with funding campaigns, developed strategic plans, and engaged stakeholders for community initiatives. Additionally, I can bring insight into gaps of service offerings and analytical skills that can support decisions the Council makes. 04-16-2024 City Council Agenda Packet Page 121 of 135 EXHIBIT A Lacy Stockton Page 3 of 5 04/10/2024 3. What experience or talent would you bring to the East Wenatchee City Council that would strengthen the group as a whole? In my work at Chelan PUD and as a business owner that works with local businesses and regional utilities, I have an understanding of key issues impacting our local economic vitality across industry sectors. Additionally, I have a stake in our collective economic success and offer useful business management skills, including practical finance experience, strategy, and stakeholder engagement. In particular, my technical background in data analytics and energy management is valuable to understanding the issue of shared natural resources in our area (such as hydroelectricity and water resources): its distribution, issues of equity, efficiency, and its relationship to our collective economic development. I value leveraging data to inform decision making beyond narratives and bring these skills to the Council. I also have education and experience in community planning, which focuses around how to engage the community in decision making, make neighborhoods more livable, and improve quality of life equitably. I used these skills professionally as I worked in tourism development throughout South America and personally in each of the communities I’ve served as a volunteer. I’d like to bring these experiences to the Council to ensure our decisions are informed and supported by our constituents. I believe that my data-driven, holistic, and compassionate approach will strengthen the Council’s decisions in key areas of importance to East Wenatchee—to our industries, businesses, and citizens. 04-16-2024 City Council Agenda Packet Page 122 of 135 EXHIBIT A Lacy Stockton Page 4 of 5 04/10/2024 4. What do you believe the City could be doing better than what the City currently does? East Wenatchee has done a commendable job on efforts including planned traffic mitigation and infrastructure improvements, greater collaboration across the river, supporting public transit, and addressing the lack of affordable housing. The Council is also an excellent steward of public funds. I’d like to collaborate to build upon these successes. I’m looking forward to the development of a collaborative, long-term vision for our area that will outline how to adapt and direct our growth. I believe that future decisions should be made with an eye on the expected return on the investments made, even if the initial cost may appear high. At the same time, we have to be wary of large investments that may not have the returns initially promised based on the case studies of other areas. I would also like the City to continue reducing the barriers to starting and running small businesses in East Wenatchee. Beyond addressing affordable housing and homelessness, I’d like the Council to actively advise various community initiatives to holistically ensure that prosperity is widely shared. This includes encouraging living-wage jobs without sinking service businesses, ensuring affordable, quality childcare to reduce underemployment, and attracting external investments without leaving residents behind. Finally, I’d like the City to take a clearer stand on energy policy. Our access to abundant, clean, and affordable public power is a huge draw for many industries to our city and key to our economic vitality and equity. Our City shouldn’t shy from guiding the conversation around this hugely beneficial community asset. 04-16-2024 City Council Agenda Packet Page 123 of 135 EXHIBIT A Lacy Stockton Page 5 of 5 04/10/2024 5. What is your vision for our City and Community? East Wenatchee has already made many improvements even in the last decade. I’d like to see this trajectory continue to create a more livable city:  East Wenatchee city limits would align with its actual built-up areas so that all residents of the metro area can benefit from City infrastructure, guidance, and services.  City neighborhoods would continue to be transformed into “complete streets” that safely accommodate people of all ages and abilities to enjoy our beautiful community and interact with one another.  The City would support greater housing and business diversity to meet the community’s needs, including: o a variety of mixed-use developments and greater “missing middle” housing stock o more interspersed services and businesses that accommodate walkable/easily accessible neighborhood nodes both for customers and employees o encourage small businesses, particularly for much needed services such as childcare and community meeting areas like local coffee shops (and a larger library with extended hours) o a vibrant nonprofit community able to meet the needs of those in our community presently underserved  The downtown area would be a vibrant destination for locals to meet. East Wenatchee would be a locale unto itself and improved connections would encourage people to discover our city.  Our Community would value all residents and offer all the opportunity to thrive. This would be evident in the variety of businesses, housing, and services available. 04-16-2024 City Council Agenda Packet Page 124 of 135 EXHIBIT A lacyrstockton@gmail.com 509.860.0649 216 Ridgemont Drive East Wenatchee LACY STOCKTON ENERGY EFFICIENCY MARKETING STRATEGIST CHELAN COUNTY PUD Lead customer outreach and marketing of energy-efficient improvements for homes and businesses, low-income programs, and renewable energy initiatives.

From a very young age I found it personally fulfilling to volunteer in the community. Starting with the Children’s Discovery Museum Youth Board, through Lt. Governor of Key Club for the extended Wenatchee Valley, to board member on multiple non-profit destination marketing organizations through President of the Cashmere Chamber of Commerce it has been a privilege to share my love and enthusiasm for the valley to better the community as a whole. I have served in an executive board capacity as well as chairing subcommittees for the completion of both short and long-term projects. 3.What experience or talent would you bring to the East Wenatchee City Council that would strengthen the group as a whole? While at The Boeing Company for over a decade, I performed in many roles, not the least of which was strategy lead for the supply chain logistics segment of the company. My proven experience in strategic planning, combined with my masters certificate in project management, affords me a unique skill set to be able to help groups coalesce around and execute on strategic objectives. I have developed and implemented strategic frameworks as well as operationalized short and long-term focus areas for the advancement of an organization’s mission and vision. 4.What do you believe the City could be doing better than what the City currently does? I will be the first to admit that I don’t know what I don’t know but am eager to dig deeper into the workings of the city to determine what improvement areas exist that have the largest impact on the daily lives of our town’s stakeholders. With what I have been privy to thus far, I would say the City could do better with leveraging all available resources to support small business. This includes help in an entrepreneur’s planning phase and then guiding as much as possible to successful launch and ultimately continuity of business. 5.What is your vision for our City and Community? My vision for the City is to be, as efficiently as possible, meeting the needs of the community but, beyond that, cultivating an environment where people are equally drawn to work and play here. This would be done through facilitating a structure that is welcoming and supportive of business, active with promotion, and enticing for regional events of varied types. We want people to be proud of what is happening in their backyard and for those who don’t live here, to want to travel to our backyard. 04-16-2024 City Council Agenda PacketPage 129 of 135 EXHIBIT A Kevin Van Reenen Objective: To successfully leverage my business experience and passion for our community as a City Council Member.
