Motion was made by Paul Cassel, seconded by Dennis Hendricks and passed by vote of the Council. Bills and accounts were approved as submitted. Motion was made by Dawn Collings, seconded by Tery McKee and passed by vote of the Council. Chief Flinner gave a short synopsis of the department's monthly activities which included, training, public relations and significant accomplishments. Nick Wiltz said both the Board of Adjustment and Planning Commission had met in July. He said Rod Towell had resigned from the Board of Adjustment and Larry Johnson had been appointed by Mayor McGraw to fill that position. • The Council granted Nick Wiltz permission to attend a seminar in Bellevue September 27, 28, and 29 pertaining to mechanical codes. Attorney Chuck Zimmerman referred to a memo from their office dated July 19, 1989 in reference to PUD/Valley Mall Parkway Agreement and stated that an amended agreement had been drafted with the recommended changes. Chuck said the P.U.D. Commissioners are comfortable with the terms of the agreement and that he had prepared Resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute the Contract. Dennis Hendricks said he was disturbed by the Agreement and felt it was one-sided and not above board. Hendricks said he felt the City was not getting anything out of the agreement and felt the public did not know what was going on. Dennis said the P.U.D. has known about the underground requirement since 1971 and made no attempt to try to get it changed. Dennis said the P.U.D. put their vaults in on their own and then turn around and charge the rate payers. Chuck Zimmerman said he was of the opinion that the City did not have to enter into an agreement and the P.U.D. could charge the rate payer without the Council entering into an agreement. Chuck said the P.U.D. had agreed to reduce the amount from $572,000. down to $350,000. Mayor McGraw said the Council had been working with the P.U.D. for several months trying to get a reasonable rate established and feels • the Council has saved the citizens a considerable amount of money. t s Annexation by Petitioners on property bordered by 15th Street N.E., Eastmont, 8th Street N.E. and Iowa Streets was discussed. Bob Burke advised the Council that the 245 acre addition would include dwelling units and 1,036 people. Bob said it was also recommended by City staff that two additional parcels of land on the North and South of the current City limits be included in the annexation. Those areas include an area between the irrigation canal on the West, Eastmont Ave. on the East, 15th Street on the North and the existing City Limits on he South and a small parcel nearly surrounded by the City shown on the map as Parcel A. Ninth street N.E. to the property line behind 7th street N.E. from Baker to Eastmont also was recommended to included in the Petition area. It would require four additional employees to maintain services in the proposed areas and he stated that the City would gain enough additional revenues over the next three years to offset all costs according to Staff reports. Jerry Chapton told the Council he was not in favor of annexation East of Eastmont unless the City formed a joint committee with Douglas County and work out problems prior to annexation. Mr. Chapton was also concerned that more than 50 percent of the people living in the proposed annexation area were not contacted and he would like to see it become a ballot issue. Paul Cassel and Tery McKee assured Mr. Chapton that the City has developed a plan and set priorities for annexation and now are following through the goals of the City's Comprehensive Plan. Bruce Nash said it has taken a month and one half to collect the signatures he did get. Bruce said the reason he chose the petition method was because many of the people in the area are not registered voters as they do not want to serve on a jury. Following more discussion, Paul Cassel made a motion that the City accept the Nash Petition., geographically modified to include the Resolution area south of 15th Street N.E. and West of the irrigation canal. Also to include in the petition area a small parcel nearly surrounded by the City indicated on the map as Parcel A and 9th St. N.E. to the property line behind 7th st. N.E. from Baker to Eastmont indicated as Parcel B on the map. Motion subject to the City Council entering into an acceptable Inter Local Agreement with the County, arranging with the County to continue to provide services over the next year from revenue received by the county from the annexed area. Motion was seconded by Dawn Collings and passed by vote of the Council. Paul Cassel made a motion to adopt Ordinance No. 89-7 adding a new section 6.04.045 to the municipal code to waive license fees for guide and service dogs. Motion was seconded by Tery McKee and passed by vote of the Council. Tery McKee said the project was originally tied in with plans for the proposed Riverfront Highway. Opponents stopped the highway project, thus leaving concrete vaults for the underground lines several inches above street level, creating a safety hazard. Tery said it was not the City's fault and it wasn't the P.U.D.'s fault and that the P.U.D. had absorbed much of the project cost. After more discussion, Tery McKee made a motion to adopt Resolution No. 89-5 authorizing the Mayor to execute an agreement with Douglas County P.U.D. #I concerning the P.U.D.'s improvements on Valley mall Parkway. Motion was seconded by Paul Cassel and passed by vote of the Council. Bob Burke with McConnell/Burke spoke with the Council about funding for Outdoor Recreation and said that the and Mayor McGraw had met with Don Clark concerning the application and funding. Bob stated 650,000 is available and requests for over 14 million dollars have been received. Burke also mentioned the staff and council retreat coming up the 8th and 9th of September. Bob suggested the Council review last year's goals and drive around East Wenatchee and look around before this year's retreat and get ideas of what the Council would like to achieve in the future. Les Young said the fireworks ordinance review would not be discussed until the next meeting as he had copies of ordinances from other Cities that he would like the Council to review. Mayor McGraw suggested that the Council may want to hold off and the subject could be discussed at the upcoming retreat. Mayor McGraw called for a Public Hearing to discuss an Ordinance amending Section 17.64.010 of the East Wenatchee Municipal Code, requiring all property annexed into the City to be zoned R-L Residential unless a proposed zoning regulation has been adopted for the area proposed for annexation. The City Planning Commission at its Public Hearing on July 24th considered the proposed zoning and unanimously made its recommend- ation to the Council that all property annexed into the City be zoned R-L Residential. Property owners still can petition for a different zoning change before or after annexation takes place the public was advised. Public input came from Jerry Chapton and Gene Lubking pertaining to zoning. There being no further public input, Mayor McGraw declared the Public Hearing closed. Dawn Collings made a motion to adopt Ordinance No. 89-6 requiring all property annexed into the City be zoned R-L, unless a proposed zoning regulation has been adopted for the area. Motion was seconded by Dennis Hendricks and passed by vote of the Council. • • Motion was made by Tery McKee to adopt Ordinance No. 89-8, • prescribing additional penalties for controlled substances violations as required by State Law.
