Car tab fee election/alternative options City Manager O'Rourke noted on September 11, 2012, the Council took the step to put a $30 car tab on the ballot, and then later reconsidered a new date. He has since learned that a 20 year bond will be fully paid, which will free up approximately $500,000 annually, that can be utilized to finance repair of our roads. Also, they have seen a positive trend in sales tax income. Therefore, he is proposing Council reconsider the car tab ballot measure and place a City Charter amendment on the ballot dedicating $2 million in revenue annually in addition to what is budgeted for road repair and maintenance. Council Member Ensey asked whether the $2 million is a percentage? City Manager O'Rourke stated this is • - - • on a C • • it Memb- nseystat ikac thy, especially if it means not r Council Me er Ettl ti ging er dibility ith the citizens.

Mr. O'Rourke stated there is nothing more pressing than fixing our roads and that a Charter change amendment could not be changed except by another Charter amendment. Council Member Lover reported he is satisfied with this option. Council Member Bristol affirmed that the citizens are not happy with the roads and we need to take action now. Mayor Cawley agreed that we need to have allocated funding. Council Member Ettl reminded everyone that two council members are absent and out of respect to them, this discussion should wait until they return.

Discussion regarding Proposition to amend Article VII, Section 2 of the City of Yakima Charter requiring affirmative vote of at least five City Council members to approve any new councilmanic tax Mayor Cawley noted a new resolution was distributed regarding the proposed super -majority Charter Amendment discussed at a previous meeting. Council Member Bristol recapped what took place at the last meeting regarding this matter and stated she changed her vote and the vote failed. She is bringing this issue back in hopes that it makes it more difficult for Council to raise taxes, although it didn't appear on the agenda in the format she intended. The information is the same except the date of the election is now August instead of April. She remarked that there are two Council members absent tonight and said she has been accused of "sneaking" this item in, but she isn't, as it is listed on the agenda. City Attorney Cutter stated this is not exactly what was previously provided and this is not a reconsideration but is a new resolution. Council Member Ettl explained an effort to require a super -majority to raise taxes should require more than a simply majority to pass and believes they should wait to discuss and vote on this issue until all members are present. He stated he has done a lot of thinking on this matter, and was previously in favor of it; however, he has changed his position. Ettl moved and Cawley seconded to table this matter. The motion failed by a 3-2 roll call vote; Lover, Ensey and Bristol voting no. Motion: App -, d b embe a Bris • - • • • cil Member Bill Lover.

Our last rating was conducted in 1995 and the City was rated a 4. City Manager O'Rourke noted it may be possible to lower our rating to a 3, which would result in better insurance rates for citizens. Chief Willson indicated with the addition of two fire inspectors, this may lower the rating, as well as, providing training opportunities. He stated the City has 18 months to request a review of the rating. 3. Regional Fire Authority Feasibility Study - Final Report Chief Willson gave a power point presentation on the Regional Fire Authority Study. The Feasibility Committee voted unanimously to move forward to the next step, which is to have three elected officials from each jurisdiction form a Planning Committee to devise a budget, operating system and manual, and then apply to the State. If it meets all the criteria, all Councils from each participating jurisdiction would vote whether to place this before their constituents for a vote. Council Member Adkison noted she was on the Feasibility Committee and would like to see this go forward. City Manager O'Rourke stated they need Council direction to proceed. He mentioned there are five reasons not to pursue an RFA. First, there is no net benefit to the City; the City loses operational level of service; the customer will be paying more for the same service; there are no economies of scale --if a regional solution is to identify and achieve economy of scale to reduce costs, it should not be done to maintain the status quo; and finally, this is not a regional solution, as we are missing one of the largest districts in the area --West Valley Fire District.

They are developing a tiered program response that will be instituted for several months on a trial basis. 5. Proposed Automatic Aid Agreement with West Valley Fire District Chief Willson briefed Council on the issue. Mayor Cawley asked whether this is the same type of agreement we had before.

He complained about the sewer line at his property on 922 E. Pitcher Street and provided a photo to the City Manager.

Harris Meyer, City resident, stated his concerns for the proposed McDonald's on the corner of Page 2 of 5 Yakima Avenue and 1st Street.
