DEPARTMENT REPORTS Finance Department Clerk/Treasurer Oestreich gave a report on the status of the city hall modular. She said cost estimates appeared to be much higher than originally anticipated, and a designed plan would be required for the modular prior to going to bid. Ms. Oestreich gave Council an alternative to the original plan, suggesting a , smaller modular to house the Police Department; leave the restrooms in the park until it is required to remove the storage tanks and let the Capital Improvement Fund grow until then; and the Finance and Planning Department would take over the present Police Department. - 1 - r ' She said this would be a considerable savings to the city at the present time and would temporarily resolve the staff space problem. Councilmember Hendricks suggested it might be better to build a city hall on the Ninth Street property, starting small and planning for later additions. Councilmember Cassel said planning could be done in phases, however, at this time a permanent site had not even been decided upon. Council agreed by consensus to Ms. Oestreich's suggestions, and allocated up to $1500 to have a designed plan for the Police Department modular. Ms. Oestreich is to contact the City's consulting engineers to do the plan. Police Department Chief Flinner reviewed the monthly report.

Councilmember McKee said a resolution could administer the salary structures and if needed than it could be modified. An example would be if a City Administrator was hired, then the duties of the Mayor would change. Council Action: Council agreed the present salary should remain as is; and directed the City Attorney to draft a resolution on properly handling any changes to allow council options. 91-07-03 An application for a Cabaret License for Senor Frog's Chief Flinner gave a report on Senor Frog's past year incident reports. He said there was nothing significant to be concerned about; and as long as the restaurant complied with the Washington State Liquor Board requirements he had no objections to the application. Council Action: A motion was made by Councilmember Cassel, second by Councilmember McArthur to approve the application for Senor Frog's cabaret license. The motion carried 5-0. CITIZEN COMMENTS Larry Whiteman, representing the Cascade Loop Association, explained the Fly/Drive Program the Loop was promoting along with the East Wenatchee Chamber of Commerce. He asked Council for Hotel/Motel tax funds in the amount of $2,000 for 1991. Council Action: A motion was made by Councilmember McArthur, second by Councilmember Hendricks to approve the request from Cascade Loop in the amount of $2,000 for promotion activity. The motion carried 5-0. COUNCIL REPORTS AND UPDATES Councilmember McKee spoke regarding the proposed amount from Douglas County District Court regarding the Bailiff/Interpreter position. Council directed Clerk Oestreich to contact the court and determine what percentage would be the city's share. Councilmember McArthur gave a report on the meeting with Douglas County Parks Recreation Director Jennifer Olsen. She said the costs projected were higher than originally estimated. However, she felt the city should go ahead with the project, pass the resolution; and hopefully, twenty percent of the city's share might be in kind. Councilmember Cassel recommended the city hire an engineer to do a study and authorize the funds of $5,000 for this. Council agreed the Mayor should contact our engineers to begin the procedure. - 4 - r - 9 - ,zainspajj/XsaTl AITD gOia.zgsaO •g VTUTBJTA w'd 0£'8 - imaHmEnorav *IsDJagUT s,AITO aqq uz 3aggaT aqq ubTS pup agTim pTnogs SOApH agg gegg snsuasuoo Aq paai6e TTounol •buTsnog awoout MoT io 'ggbTg UOTIDaS 3o; gsoddns s,Agil aqg io; buiXse quawdoTanaO uegin pup bucsnoH agq woz; gsanba.z a ppg aq ptps Mp.zOoH .ioAeH lHOdHH S.NOAHH HVHDOHd ZNVHD INnOJJH SN3H30NVHN3 SONVI JISHnbV SZDHflOSaH gvHnIVN d0 LN3WI'd Id3G 3lVIS NOIDNIHSHM 3HS H02id 3JNVISISSV 0XIaNn3 HO d A'IddH OZ AZIJ 3HI JNIZIHOHIfIV 'NOLONIHSVM '33HJZVN3M SSN3 10 AIIJ 3HI dO NOIsn'IOSSH V 9-T6 'ON NOIbngOSaS '0-S 'pallapo uotgow agy •ubtsap p buipsebaj wzF; buizaauTbua agg oq pted qunowp aqq uo o00'SS 30 ITmTT e gas oq sXoTipuaH .zagwawTtaunol Aq puoaas 'Tassel zagwawTTounol Aq apew SLIM uotgow y '0-S 'paii3eo uoTgow aqy -spun; aqq aziioggnp pup gsanbas aqq gupzb 'uoTgnTosaz aqq ssed og ingg.zyOH -iagwawTtounol Aq puoaas 'Tassel aagwawTiOunol Aq appw seM uOTgow y :uoigoy jTounol •paTaoupo aq pTnoo uOTgeoTTdde gupab aqq 'awTg JOIvT a qp padOTanap swaTgoid JT pup 'uoTgnTosai aqg 6UTSSed puawwooai pTnoM aqs 'awTg ;o gsaI91UT agg ai 'pFes uasTO •SH •w.z;; papuawwoaaz s,Agunoo aqq goezguoogns ATgTssod pTnoo saaauTbua AgTO aqy Aqunoo aq-4 io; goa[oid U elg agq ;o abpaTMouX ziagq ;o asneoaq )[IoM aqg op og wst; bula9auTbu9 aqq se •auI 'uTTzagwegl pup sbutTTTXS ;o wzi; aqg papuamwoo9i sNjpd Aqunol seTbnoO 'uasTO is;Tuuar
