SPECIAL MEETING
The City Council met in session on this date at 11:00 A.M. in the Coun-
cil Chambers at City Hall, Yakima, Washington, for a special meeting
called by Council members Crest and Doty to discuss the Urban Area Plan.
Council members present were Mayor Betty L. Edmondson, Lynn Buchanan,
Lynn Carmichael, Bruce Crest, and Shirley Doty. Council members Henry
Beauchamp and Don Hinman absent. Mayor Edmondson asked the Council
members how they wished to respond to the letters from the County
Commissioners requesting the City to lift the Outside Utility
Moratorium. Council member Doty stated that this subject was brought up
at the end of the last joint meeting and we did not want to discuss this
then. Council member Carmichael stated that she doesn't believe our
position has changed greatly from the time the policy decision to
suspend Outside Utility connections was adopted. Stating that our
discussion with the County has not been completed, it was MOVED by
Carmichael, seconded by Crest to reaffirm Resolution No. D -4449, adopted
March 17, 1981. Council member Doty expressed her concern about this
subject, stating there are a couple of issues that have not been
discussed with the County, such as annexation. She questioned if it
would be wise at this time to lift our moratorium. Mayor Edmondson
stated that this was a temporary policy, however, she did not feel that
this is the right time to consider lifting the moratorium because
everything has not been resolved. Council member Buchanan stated that
he thought this was adopted at a time when there were a lot of Outside
Utility Agreements adopted that were not being honored. He stated that
he did not feel we were tying it into the completion of the Urban Area
Plan, however, he felt it was a little early to lift the moratorium.
The question was called for the vote on the motion. Unanimously carried
by voice vote. Beauchamp and Hinman absent.
It was MOVED by Doty, seconded by Buchanan) to move into executive
session for the purpose of discussing prospective litigation and
disposition of property and then immediately adjourn the meeting.
Following completion of executive session, the meeting was adjourned at
the hour of 12:16 P.M.
