0 Intergovernmental Committee
Tuesday, June 22, 2010
Yakima City Council present: Rick Ensey, Kathy Coffey
County Commissioner present: Mike Leita
City staff: Dick Zais, Dave Zabell, Michael Morales, Jeff Cutter, Joan Davenport
County staff: Vern Redifer, Steve Erickson
Guests: Joe Walsh — CWHBA, Zella West — Nob Hill Water
Annexation Resolution: Commissioner Leita said that the County Commissioners have no
further comments on the City's annexation resolution, other than that he personally thinks
the resolution would most logically be governed by the ILA.
4 -Party. Tolling Agreement: Dave Zabell reported that a second staff level meeting
occurred and that input has been received from all parties. Jeff Cutter said everyone has
agreed on the principle points. Dick Zais said the next step would be to complete the fine .
tuning of the tolling agreement and then to take it directly to the governing bodies. When
the tolling agreement is in place, discussion will begin on the actual sewer agreement.
Discussion will include electeds and support staff from all parties.
West Valley Neighborhood Plan (WVNP): • Steve Erickson said a final official
` recommendation from the Regional Planning Commission is expected June 23. Staff will
prepare a final document for a joint hearing of the Board of County Commissioners and
City Council. They suggested at least one orientation session prior to the public hearing,
which is likely to occur in September. Joint study sessions and a joint recommendation
would complete the process.
GMA Interlocal Agreement: Starting with Page 10, Section G, Paragraph 1, Mr. Leita said
"We support that. It would be premature to adopt an annexation resolution prior to the
formal ILA agreement." He asked to highlight paragraph 2 for further dialog. He noted a
typo in paragraph 2 (subsection 6 in the first sentence should be subsection 5). He
requested dialog on the term "legislative action," and asked for the context of "confer."
Mr. Zais replied that conferred meant discussion, not necessarily agreement. On Page 11,
Section G, Paragraph 5, second sentence, Mr. Leita asked for further discussion on "and
the property owner agrees."
Mr. Leita asked Council if there is concurrence that there is a need for this document.
Councilmembers Coffey and Ensey concurred.
Re- starting review at the beginning of the document: I. Preamble, A. Purpose: Mr. Leita
said there is not problem with the city's proposed changes. Section B. Background:
Mr. Leita wants to strike all sentences after the first sentence of ,the opening paragraph.
On Page 5, II. Agreement, Section C Objectives, Paragraph 2: Mr. Leita said "There is
0 • one area we've struggled with; a philosophical question concerning frontage improvements
and how to pay for them. This is a big area for the county. The entire Section C is open
for discussion."
Mr. Zais said in regard to Section G Annexation, there is an effort to put together a
conceptual framework that will probably be an amendment to Section G, on the time and
improvements issue. Mr. Leita said he is concerned with the word consistent, and that he
will offer a definition to enhance "consistent" at the next meeting. He suggested that the
only item for the next meeting should be the ILA — with other items if time allows. Mr. Zais
offered to continue to work on the concept for deferred annexation. Staff was directed to
develop a draft document for the next meeting.
The next meeting of the Intergovernmental Committee will be Tuesday, July 13, 3:30 p.m.
The ILA discussion will resume. Other topics may be discussed if time allows.
