Ms. Johnson explained the function of the Small Business Development Center. C. Status report on prior meeting's citizen service request • Henry Herron's request regarding loud cars (music and exhaust) Chief Granato commented that this is not an unusual complaint but one that is ve difficul to enforce. Officers do issue citations when they encounter the violator. With regard to loud exhaust noises, Yakima County doesn't have inspection requirements. That might be a subject to look at for future • • legislation. Another option is looking into future legislation where citizens can obtain a license number and then a summons can be issued. Also discussed was how to determine how loud it must be in order for it to be a violation. Chief Granato did say that if they received a complaint with a license number, they could send out some type of a notice advising a complaint had been received against them. They could look into doing that but it would be increasing workload. • 2 APRIL 4, 2006 D.

Audience participation was continued at 9 : 01: 52 PM Mary McDaniel, 905 Walker Street, asked for a report on the Washington D.C. trip. City Manager Zais committed to supplying her with a copy of the report that was given at the Media meeting on the subject. 7:00 P.M. - PUBLIC HEARINGS 6. Public Hearing to consider confirmation of North 84 Avenue and Hawthorn Drive Local Improvement Sewer District No. 1057 final assessment roll Jeff Cutter, Assistant City Attorney, gave direction for the public hearing process. Council had no ex -parte disclosures. Bob Desgrosellier, Senior Engineer, showed the location of the LID (Summitview and 84 Avenue). A flow chart was entered as Exhibit 3. Patty Huff, Engineering Office Assistant, explained that the LID was started in 2002 when a citizen came to the City and advised that the County was going to pave this road and they were in need of a sewer line. They were able to obtain . - 78 -79% signed Outside Utility Agreements (OUAs). After the Supreme Court Decision on OUAs in 2004, the City met with the citizens and explained the LID process. Following construction they met with the citizens again and presented the final cost. Twenty -five of the 36 parcels were represented at that meeting. After reviewing the payment options, fifteen parcel representatives voted for the 70/30 split. Although several realized it would have been cheaper the other .. way, they felt this method was the fairest. Because the City Council waived all connection charges for citizens that participate in LIDs, they were able to save $4,000 to $5,000 each. Bob Desgrosellier advised that there were five or six parcels that did not want to participate in the LID. The City of Yakima will cover the costs and when the properties come into the city they will be assessed the full costs. Their connections charges will not be waived. • Mayor Edler opened the public hearing Doug Lewis, one of the property owners, spoke in favor of the proposal that the majority of the citizens voted on. Although some didn't need the sewer, as a community they felt obligated to take care of it. He went on to explain how they came up with their proposal. Jim Noel, one of the property owners, submitted pictures of his land. He had attended the last Council meeting and tried to explain his unique situation. His lot is the biggest, but most of his acreage is unusable because of the terrain. 3 • 4 APRIL 4, 2006 He does not have the potential of dividing it because of the lay of the land. He is being charged more because of the size of his property but because he cannot divide it, he feels the proposal is unfair. Discussion ensued about Mr. Noel's property and whether any special exception could be taken. Jeff Cutter, Assistant City Attorney, advised that, they can use the per parcel basis, the 70/30 basis, or whatever allocation they determine as the most reasonable as long as it is based on the special benefit of the properties and they come to the conclusion it is the fairest division. He emphasized that they must remember that the body, as a whole, voted on this. It was determined that Mr. Noel was the only member that voted for the per - parcel method. Mr. Noel's pictures were submitted as an Exhibit. Mr. Cutter pointed out that the packet is Exhibit #1. The question was asked whether any contractors have said that a third of the lot is not buildable or is that just the owner's statement. Mr. Desgrosellier said that had not been investigated and to date they had only taken him at his word. Marsha Brown, North 84 Avenue, said they were at the meeting when the vote was taken, but when they returned home and looked over the figures they were struck by the unfairness of some people being charged several thousand dollars more than others. She felt they should ask themselves what does square footage of the lot have to do with what the LID is accomplishing. The LID is sewer service to each parcel. She said they decided they did not vote correctly, and now feel that the per - parcel rate would be the only fair way to go for everyone. • Mayor Edier closed the public hearing The Acting City Clerk read the ordinance by title only. City Manager Zais noted that we have heard there is an inequitable impact to at least one party. Mr. Cutter confirmed that the required process was followed and that the citizens were advised of their choices and voted. As can be the case when voting, there was a change of heart. The Council now has three choices; approve, deny, or amend. Or, they can reject the assessment roll, in which case the process will have to be reviewed once again. An appeal would be to Superior Court. He pointed out that this isn't the City's game; it's the citizens' game and this is what they, by majority, elected to do. City Manager Zais noted that we generally try to go with the will of the people. If upon further reflection that will is changing, he would be hesitant to advise Council to approve this unless there is further reconsideration. Another option would be to table the item for further discussion and to come back at a later time after letting staff verify with the neighbors that this is, indeed, their vote and they are not wanting to reconsider it. McCLURE MOVED AND BONLENDER SECONDED TO PASS THE ORDINANCE. Council Member McClure justified his motion because 25 of the 36 people voted at a meeting where there was broad discussion, 9 of those present were voting purely for their own benefit, 15 voted to actually share the load, 1 person voted to do it by per- parcel. He questioned how could Council tell 24 people that we're going to kick it back to them to come up with a solution that we like better and we're not even offering a solution. Council Member Bonlender added that there is no pure and simple way for so many different size properties to be allocated fairly. Council Member Johnson said he would like to see it postponed in case there is some 4 • 5 APRIL 4, 2006 way to make it more equitable. The question was called for a vote on the motion. The motion carried by 5 -2 roll call vote; Johnson and Lover voting nay. ORDINANCE NO. 2006 -12, AN ORDINANCE of the City of Yakima, Washington, approving and confirming the final assessment roll for North 84 Avenue and Hawthorn Drive Sewer Local Improvement District No. 1057, which has been created and established for the purpose of paying the cost of certain sewer system improvements; and levying and assessing the amount thereof against the lots, tracts, parcels of land and other property shown on said roll. Following a short break, the meeting reconvened at 8:04 p.m. 7. Public Hearing to consider confirmation of North 90 Avenue, 94 Place and West Yakima Avenue Local Improvement Sewer District No. 1058 final assessment roll Bob Desgrosellier, Senior Engineer, introduced the issue. Three separate neighborhoods requested LIDs. They were in the County when it started and went through the OUA process. The County roadway project was done very economically. There were two separate projects, and both elected different assessment methods. • Mayor Edler opened the public hearing No one came forward to speak. • Mayor Edler closed the public hearing The acting City Clerk read the ordinance by title only; BONLENDER MOVED AND CAWLEY SECONDED TO PASS THE ORDINANCE. The motion carried by unanimous roll call vote.

Public Hearing on the 2006 -2011 Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Plan (continued from 3/21/06) Denise Nichols, Parks & Recreation Manager, explained this is a five -year Comprehensive Plan required to be eligible for IACC grants. • Mayor Edler opened the public hearing. Lynne Kittelson, 305 North 9 Street, referred to an item on the page marked with legal notices. She commented that it says that a resident of North Yakima 5 6 APRIL 4, 2006 called for development of pathways on the east side. She clarified that she did more than call for; she had said she wanted a definite plan. The Bicycle/ Pedestrian Committee has her written recommendation of where she thinks the pathways should go that she introduced to that group and she wants it to be a priority as it should have already happened. • Mayor Edler closed the public hearing Council Member Lover reviewed a letter he had written depicting a number of items he would like changed within the Parks Comprehensive Plan. He made the following motions and gave his reasoning in detail for each of them.
