City Attorney, Chuck Zimmerman and City Clerk, Peggy McArthur. Meeting was called to Order by Mayor, Richard McGraw. Minutes of the previous meeting were approved as presented. Motion was made by Dennis Hendricks, seconded by Dawn Collings and passed by vote of the Council. Bills and accounts were approved as submitted. Motion was made by Dennis Hendricks, seconded by Paul Cassel and passed by vote of the Council. Chief Flinner stated that the bank robbery investigation is coming along nicely. Flinner also said one arrest has been made and they have two other suspects involved in vandalism on Ashland and Eastmont Streets. Bob Goodman said Junipers and other hardy plants will be planted this week at the view point. Bob also said the shop roof has been completed. Mayor McGraw said there may be a need for a three foot fence on the outer side of the sidewalk but hopefully the plantings will keep people away from the bank. Nick Wiltz advised the Council that there would be a meeting at Nendels Tuesday morning at 7:00 A.M. with the City, Douglas County and other entities to discuss short plats etc. Nick said the quarterly meetings keep each entity informed as to what is taking place in the City and County and has proved to be very informative and worthwhile. The Council discussed the sample fireworks ordinance. Paul Cassel said he was satisfied with the longer sample ordinance and felt the City should go ahead and pass the ordinance. Les Young said he had not received any comments or proposed changes so he felt the Council was satisfied with the draft Ordinance and could see no reason to wait until after the retreat to adopt the ordinance. Chuck Zimmerman advised the Council that he would finish preparing the ordinance and review it with the Fire Chief and have it ready for the next council meeting. Interest on City property taxes collected by Douglas County was discussed. It was agreed by the Council to accept the formula devised by Douglas County Treasurer, Mary Dodge. The treasurer's office will remit taxes collected on a weekly schedule during the months of April, May, Oct., and Nov., the four busiest months as far as receipt of property taxes are concerned and twice monthly distribution in other months when property taxes receipted by the County for the City exceed $500.00. Chuck Zimmerman was asked to draft the necessary Resolution for Council approval and have it ready for the next Council meeting. Mayor McGraw proclaimed September 6 as United Way Day, and congratulated the organization for it's service to the community in it's 50th year in North Central Washington. Mayor McGraw said Wenatchee is doing a basic Senior Citizen Study. They have a voters registration breakdown of the cost for this study and have determined that the City of East Wenatchee's share would be 800.00. Mayor McGraw asked the Council if they wished to participate in the study. Paul Cassel said he would like more information. Tery McKee said he would like to know who is on the committee. The Council all agreed they would like to table the issue until they have reviewed the request. Paul Cassel again reminded the Council of the upcoming retreat set for Friday evening at the Cougar Inn and Sat. morning, beginning at 7:30 A.M., the Council will meet at the Edelweiss. Mayor McGraw advised the Council that the next Council meeting is will be held on Tuesday, September 5, at 6:30 P.M., due to the Labor Day holiday falling on the regular council meeting date. Chuck Zimmerman said he had attended a Douglas County Commissioners meeting on behalf of the City on whether the City should have an Interlocal Agreement relative to the "Nash Annexation". The issue he said, has to do with the County performing services to the area during the lag in time when the City will not be receiving any tax monies for the area. Chuck said the time lag for anything other than property taxes will depend on how quickly the City can get to the necessary people and how quickly the City can get the annexation into its system. Chuck Zimmerman said County road taxes will be levied for road taxes in Dec. of 1989 to be collected in 1990. Those taxes would be turned over to the City by the County Treasurer for street purposes. The County road tax for 1988 taxes collected by the County for 1989 is 1.9795 while the City's assessment is 2.3117. Chuck said he was told there would probably be a 6 percent increase for 1989 road taxes to be paid in 1990, making the levy approximately 2.12. If annexation is in effect before March 1, of 1990, the City could then levy the taxes to be paid the following year so there could be a lag of a year to two years. The difference the City would not receive is the difference between the County Road levy and the City's levy and all of the money that is received from the County Road tax would have to be put into the street budget. 1 11 Chuck said the County wanted any Interlocal Agreement regarding annexation to be non specific as to any particular area. Paul Cassel said the Council made a motion at their Aug. 7, 1989 meeting to accept the annexation subject to the City Council entering into an acceptable Interlocal 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. Tery McKee said at the last meeting, they did not know that the City would be receiving any money from the County for a period of one year and perhaps two. After more discussion, Tery McKee made a motion to proceed with the annexation to modify the previous motion from Paul Cassel's motion at the last meeting, to eliminate the Interlocal Agree- ment because of the new information that the Council has received regarding the money that the City is going to receive from the County collection of taxes and that is the reason for the modification. Motion was seconded by Dawn Collings and passed by vote of the Council. There being no further business, Dawn Collings made a motion that the meeting be adjourned, seconded by Les Young and passed by vote of the Council.
