ROLL CALL The City Council met in session on this date at 2:00 p.m., in the Council Chambers of City Hall, Yakima, Washington, Mayor Lynn Buchanan, presiding. Council Members Clarence Barnett, Henry Beauchamp, John Klingele, and John Puccinelli present on roll call; Council Member Bernard Sims absent and excused. City Manager Zais, City Attorney Paolella, and City Clerk Roberts also present. 2. INVOCATION /PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Council member Puccinelli. JOINT MEETING WITH YAKIMA COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 3. CONSIDERATION OF LEGISLATION REGARDING ADOPTION OF URBAN AREA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN County Commissioners Jim Lewis and Bill Flower joined the City Council to consider this issue. A. CITY ORDINANCE ADOPTING THE YAKIMA URBAN AREA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Glenn Valenzuela, Director of Community & Economic Development, briefly recapped the testimony review process undertaken by Council Sub - committee Members Barnett and Klingele to develop the recommended alternatives submitted to the Joint Board for consideration. The Joint Board unanimously approved those changes. In addition, Mr. Valenzuela directed attention to written comments included in the Council packet from Council Member Barnett, and then provided copies of additional material as it relates to public testimony requesting changes to the Transportation Plan concerning recommended road improvements for 10th, 16th, and 32nd Avenues at this time. Mr. Valenzuela thanked everyone for their time and effort and participation in the process, and urged the Council to pass the proposed ordinance adopting the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan. I/ Staff will provide a detailed list of the next step in the process if the Council takes an affirmative vote on this issue. Mayor Buchanan questioned the accuracy of the three to four minute average delay for trains going through Yakima as specified under Rail Service Issues and Transportation Plan Update included on Page V -12 in the Council packet. Mr. Valenzuela reported the railroad provided that information and the City Council Sub - committee has advised that the railroad situation be 324. APRIL 1, 1997 studied much closer based on recent legal actions taken by the City of Yakima. Council Member Barnett directed attention to the proposed ordinance, Section 2, paragraph D, Existing Land Use Reaulatory Ordinances Remain in Effect:, specifically the following wording: "in conjunction with the adopted Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan." He raised a question about new land use policies for which development or related land use regulations have never been written. Council Member Barnett also asked whether the 1997 Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan would prevail or whether action would be delayed until development regulations have been written. There was a considerable amount of discussion, questions and explanation about the scenario of what would happen should a person want to initiate an action under one of the new policies where there is no regulation. Each case would probably be, handled separately; however, more than likely, new policies will not take effect until there are regulations that offer implementation action. Joe Walsh, 5709 Walla Walla Lane, representing the Central Washington Homebuilders Association, noted for the record verbal and written testimony his association previously submitted concerning elements of the plan, particularly a letter to the City Council dated February 20, 1997. He asked some questions concerning three issues, including the effective date of the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan if the Council adopts it today, how the plan will be implemented particularly until development regulations are written for those policies that are new, and the jurisdictional boundaries between the City and the County as it relates to the Urban Growth Area and the Urban Reserve. Mr. Walsh requested part of the sentence within Section D be stricken from the proposed ordinance, specifically the words "in conjunction with the adopted Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan." He felt this would allow the existing ordinances to stand until new development regulations are written and the specific ordinances are amended. Glenn Valenzuela and Larry Peterson, Assistant City Attorney, responded to those questions; however, because of the speculative and hypothetical nature of the questions and without a specific situation, it was difficult to specifically interpret. Mr. Peterson explained that basically the newly adopted Comprehensive Plan would be the statement of policy for the City and existing zoning regulations will be in effect until new zoning regulations are adopted. City Manager Zais explained the Growth Management Act provides a process which includes several phases with the first phase being the adoption phase of the plan; then regulatory ordinances follow from that. There is another ordinance on standards that has yet to come. There has been one previous public meeting on that ordinance, and it is currently being reworked. Mr. Zais noted the importance of signaling the adoption of the plan and then moving forward with sequential consideration of amendments that come thereafter. He reminded the Council that existing laws will stand on the books of the City of Yakima until 2 3 ''2 5 APRIL 1, 1997 they are amended. Mr. Zais provided a historical perspective andd *irected tention to some of the similarities of this situation when the Urban Area Zoning Ordinance was adopted in 1981, which is amended every year or so to reflect current conditions and changing circumstances. There was additional discussion about I/ whether Council would consider a policy where existing ordinances remain in effect in the interim period of time while policy implementation aspects are considered and development regulations are written. In response to the question concerning the jurisdictional boundaries, Council Member Klingele and Mr.:,Peterson explained the jurisdictions will remain the same and development inside the Urban Area falls under the Urban Area Zoning Ordinance, which actually makes the boundary transparent to Developers because of joint planning agreements between the governments since the late 1970's. Susy Armstrong, 1813 McNair, Union Gap, provided copies of written material to the Council on the Growth Management mandate. She urged the Council not to accept or adopt the Comprehensive Plan. It was MOVED BY KLINGELE, SECONDED BY BARNETT, TO PASS THE ORDINANCE. It was MOVED BY BARNETT, SECONDED BY KLINGELE, TO AMEND THE ORDINANCE TO DELETE IN THE LAST SENTENCE "IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ADOPTED YAKIMA URBAN AREA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN."

B.

It was MOVED BY BEAUCHAMP, SECONDED BY BERGER, TO APPROVE THE RIGHT -OF -WAY VACATION REQUEST. The motion carried by unanimous roll call vote; Sims absent. 8.

He requested Council's approval to indicate in the application that a presentation was made to the Council and no opposition was voiced; however, no endorsement was given either. Council agreed with the proposed action. 10. CONSIDERATION OF THE 1997 CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN APPROVAL Marvin Miller, Acting Block Grant Manager, explained the Citizen Participation Plan outlines the process to include input from the community into the Consolidated Plan. He urged the Council to approve the document. Betty Gaudette, 701, - ;-North 6th Street, commented that this plan indicates the priorities of community residents and is directed toward the neighborhood groups. A written format is needed in the document. Council Member Beauchamp commented that even though there have been some frustrations in the past, the plan outlines citizen participation and reflects their opinions. It was MOVED BY BEAUCHAMP, SECONDED BY BERGER, TO APPROVE THE PLAN AS PRESENTED.

CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION APPROVING THE 1997 NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS (PLEASE BRING MATERIAL PREVIOUSLY DISTRIBUTED) Marvin Miller, Acting Block Grant Manager, explained the Neighborhood Improvement Projects are part of the approved Consolidated Plan for 1997. The Citizens Advisory Committee has approved four projects for Council consideration. Glenn Valenzuela noted two items of information. He reported the YWCA project is currently located outside the City limits; 5 3213 APRIL 1, 1997 however, Patty Dion, Executive Director, has indicated her willingness to immediately annex the property to the City and will begin that process. Staff will support that project if the site is located within the City Limits. Mr. Valenzuela also recommended a policy for Council consideration as it relates to real property and real property improvements. Should NIP project properties be sold, or a change occur in the purpose of what the money is to be used for, then as part of the sales agreement a clause is included indicating that the money comes back to the City and is placed into CDBG operations. Council Member Klingele pointed out that the money should be repaid to the City of Yakima instead of the .CDBG operations because, theoretically, CDBG might not be in existence, but the City would be. In other words, "should you sell the property or not use the property for what you say you will use it for that the money will be repaid to the City of Yakima." It was MOVED BY PUCCINELLI, SECONDED BY KLINGELE, TO CONSIDER EACH PROJECT SEPARATELY. The motion carried by unanimous voice vote; Sims absent. City Manager Zais explained what has been done in the past at the Council level which was to make determination on each NIP project and then follow it up with specific contract amendments that are brought back to the Council. This would pertain to all NIP projects that are either sold or the use of the land is changed. Patty Dion, Executive Director of the YWCA, displayed photographs of their proposed project on a bulletin board depicting improvements that are needed. Ms. Dion explained that the grant would make housing more available for women and children and would provide both a place for children to play and to be counseled when their mother and they are in a crisis situation. The grant would not only enable the project to be completed, specifically to be handicapped accessible, but would provide a place for older male children to sleep. Ms. Dion pointed out that she had no problem with the new clause discussed earlier to be added to the contract concerning if the property was sold or if the project changed. She asked the Council to approve their Neighborhood Improvement Grant request. Council Member Klingele suggested the lack of paving on the driveway and parking areas be addressed, and Ms. Dion explained she will seek funding for that improvement. It was MOVED BY PUCCINELLI, SECONDED BY BERGER, TO APPROVE THE PROJECT. The motion carried by unanimous voice vote; Sims absent. Hector Franco, Executive Director of Asociacion de Barrios Hispanos, provided copies of information to the Council about changes in his organization's NIP project request. He explained the name of the project has been changed from Hispanic Youth Leadership Institutes to Youth Leadership Institutes. This revised information needs to replace previously submitted material. Mr. Franco commented that the CDBG committee has done a disservice on the issue of discrimination and indicated his organization will not discriminate. In response to questions from Council Members Barnett and Berger, Bernal Baca, Retention Specialist at YVCC, explained his involvement with the project as program 6 32:9. APRIL 1, 1997 facilitator. He then briefly described the workshop and provided an informational handout to the Council. Council Member Beauchamp spoke in favor of the project and feels the training would be a healthy project for the community. It was MOVED BY BEAUCHAMP, SECONDED BY KLINGELE, TO APPROVE THE REQUEST. Mario Compean, Instructor of Chicano Studies at I/ YVCC, described his experience working with disadvantaged youth and felt this program would provide role models and also a place for free -time activities for hispanic youth. Mr. Compean described the culture -based approach for the project and did not feel this program would be discriminatory, but instead would strengthen cultural identity for the youth of Hispanic heritage. Council Member Puccinelli expressed frustration with the way this program is being characterized by the applicant. He pointed out that this program is supposed to be a neighborhood youth project for youths with multi - cultural, diverse backgrounds. Instead the proposed NIP project is being described as a cultural program for youth of Mexican heritage. Bernal Baca once again addressed the Council and explained the intention of the program to reach out to at -risk youth, of which 50-70 percent of all youth at -risk in Yakima are Hispanic. He briefly explained the admission procedure Which will include an application and an interview process. Council Member Barnett commented that the, material included in the Council packet referred to the Hispanic youth leadership. He felt his question was answered very thoroughly. He directed staff to use the corrected material. Lynne Kittelson, Chair of the NIP Committee, expressed her dislike that the NIP committee was accused of discrimination. She explained that the Federal guidelines would not allow the program to be directed toward only one ethnic group. She also pointed out that the program presented to the Council by the Asociacion de Barrios Hispanos was not the same program presented to the Committee. Ms. Kittelson also questioned the cost of the two -day workshop proposal. Mr. Franco explained the program is a 6 -month project and the one weekend is a two -day start- up only, and there will be monthly meetings five more times. The question was called for a vote on the motion. The motion carried by unanimous voice vote; Sims absent. Council Member Puccinelli indicated he expects to see a majority of the students in this program to be hispanic; however he also expects to see a diverse cross - section of students also included. He invited Mr. Franco to return at the end of the project and requested a follow -up report, particularly on the ethnic makeup of the group's I/ participants. Elsie Gregorich, 1516 Browne Avenue, spoke in favor of the YWCA Neighborhood Improvement Request considered earlier by the Council. (Council Member Beauchamp absent after 3:40 p.m.) 7 330 APRIL 1, 1997 Betty Gaudette, 701 North 6th Street, asked a question for the sake of clarity. She asked if there are two lots and whether there are two projects in the Denman Memorial Youth Park proposal and questioned the time frame of five years. Lynne Kittelson explained that if the facilities (gym) they are talking about building has to go on the lot where Denman Park is planned to go, then they will move it back, at their expense, to the new lot and use the other lot for the gym. There was discussion about a 10 -year minimum time frame, not a five -year time frame. Council Member Puccinelli reiterated staff's recommendation to include an addendum to all the projects to require repayment to the City if the property is sold or the project is changed. City Attorney Paolella indicated this addendum will be included in the contract documents. It was MOVED BY PUCCINELLI, SECONDED BY BERGER, TO ACCEPT THE DENMAN MEMORIAL YOUTH PARK PROJECT. The motion carried by unanimous voice vote; Sims absent. It was MOVED BY KLINGELE, SECONDED BY BERGER, TO APPROVE THE HOUSING AUTHORITY RESIDENT'S NEIGHBORHOOD NEWSLETTER PROJECT. The motion carried by unanimous voice vote; Sims and Beauchamp absent.
