At the April 12, 2011 meeting of the Council Intergovernmental Committee there
was discussion about creating some Sub - committees to work on specific issues
that require special attention. It was noted that participation in these topics may
take considerable time and expertise. Therefore, the Intergovernmental
Committee may request other City Council members to participate in some of
these specialized Committees. The issues identified for Sub - Committee work
include:
• 1. Airport Related Matters
2. Development of a new "Four -Party Agreement for Wastewater Services"
3. Coordination of the "East -West Corridor & 1 -82 Access"
4. D.I.D. and Stormwater Issues

Subject: Intergovernmental meeting follow -up
Our Intergovernmental Committee (IGC) meeting was productive and sets a.path for
significant achievements.
I have attached the Courthouse sidewalk estimate reflecting our consensus. I am having
our Legal Counsel, draft an agreement similar to our existing "2n / A Street sidewalk
agreement" reflecting the new estimates with a City 5 -year payback commencing in 2013
with no interest. Upon completion, we can mutually execute an ILA at our respective
conveniences.
I believe, we are in further agreement to form sub - committees regarding the Yakima
Airport, the 4 -Party Sewage Treatment Agreement, the East /West Corridor, and the
DIDs /Stormwater issues. Further, now that West Valley Neighborhood Plan has been
mutually adopted, the IGC will continue forward to finalize our City /County ILA for
GMA implementation.
Finally, Yakima County has selected our representatives to serve on those IGC sub -
• committees to allow them to commence at your earliest convenience. Our designated
representatives are:
• Yakima Airport: Commissioner Rand Elliott, Vern Redifer, Craig Warner, Terry
Austin
o Your suggested meeting date of April 25` between City and County only is
agreeable: We will have our Clerk, Tiera, calendar with Sonya.
• 4 -Party Agreement: Terry Austin
• East/West Corridor: Mike Leita, Vern Redifer, Gary Ekstedt
• DID's /Stormwater: Mike Leita, Vern Redifer, Terry Austin
• Others: ??
We understand that not all participants may be able to attend every meeting but the
remaining participants can adequately continue without the "lead buffalo ".
Thanks,
Mike Leita,
County Commissioner
