Mayor Hodkinson of Union Gap presented the Union Gap Council Statement No. 2, in writing, as requested at the previous meeting. Council member Carmichael asked about Item No. 8 which stated, "Union Gap wishes to adopt the Urban Area Plan as our Outside Utility Policy" stating she doesn't quite understand what they mean. Mayor Hodkinson explained that the Union Gap Council would like to adopt the Regional. Area Plan, • 11/ including whatever we get into, to also cover the area outside the City Limits of Union Gap, depending on haw things turn out. Mayor Hodkinson answered questions regarding the Union Gap City Council position statement, with reference to Item No. 7, Union Gap will service anyone outside the City Limits charging them 150% of the inside City rate and 150% monthly charges also. All expenses will be borne by the property owner. They will be doing some LID's the same as inside the City. Council member Hinman noted that there was not a response by Union Gap about their participation in the Regional Planning Commission. Mayor Hodkinson stated that "yes, we would like to be a part of the Regional. Planning Commission." He further stated that although it was not written down on the paper, the additional land was discussed as being part of Union Gap's service area, whichever way that goes -- whether it would be brought into the service area or taken out, they feel that the end of the service area should be the outside edge of the planning boundary, which falls in with Statement No. 6 of the position statement. There was further discussion regarding the Urban Area Boundary, service and planning boundaries, airport planning boundary, urban density, urban area standards, sewer services for County residents, etc. After discussion, it was the consensus of the City Council and County Commissioners that the Planning staffs of both entities get together to discuss subdivisions, Issues 9, 10 and 11, the development standards, and No. 6, and they will adjourn at this time to meet in two weeks to go over those standards with both staffs.
