Mike Dexter, 600 McPherson Lane in Selah representing United Builders, spoke
regarding their Orchard Point development Located at 77 and Englewood Drive.
Although the development was approved by the City over a year ago they cannot

requested that the present administrative hold on utility connections outside the city
limits be released in order to allow them to continue with the building project. He
commented that thirty jobs were dependent on this project. He was advised that the

that initiated the administrative hold. There will be a special meeting held on this

TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (TIP) (SEE RESOLUTION ADOPTING

• City Engineer introduces the amendment
Kay Adams, City Engineer, presented the amendment, Item No. 37, to the Six -Year
Transportation Improvement Program. This item proposes using $35,000 of Federal
Surface Transportation Funds to accomplish a traffic model for the entire Yakima
region. This would be done through the Conference of Governments. Other money
beyond the City of Yakima's funding will go into this project as well to create a region-
wide transportation model. Council Member Sims requested staff review the State
form with any Council members unfamiliar with it to explain how it works. Chris
Waarvick, Public Works Director, pointed out there would be other benefits to this
transportation model such as combining the data with the Origin /Destination Study
being done by the County.

CITY MANAGER'S REPORTS
7. CONSIDERATION OF PREFERRED DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE
RAILROAD GRADE SEPARATION PROJECT AND RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING
COMPLETION OF CONTRACT WITH BERGER/ABAM FOR PROFESSIONAL
SERVICES REGARDING EIS AND DESIGN REPORT
- Council Member Sims requested that Council Member Puccinelli recuse himself from
this discussion since he would be directly impacted and affected by this item. Council
Member Puccinelli joined the audience for the discussion portion of this item. Council
Member Barnett submitted a substitute resolution that changed the last paragraph and
after the words environmental documentation, adds in accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) which documentation shall include the environmental
assessment or environmental impact statement and economic impact analysis
together with...
Phil Hoge, 1512 Folsom, asked if the design report would include some alternatives to
keep the bike lanes through the area and having sidewalks on both sides of the road
or could that be included as part of the environmental documentation. Kay Adams
commented that the preferred alternative, has a sidewalk on one side only as it goes
through the underpass. He suggested it could be included with the environmental
portion of that issue. Mr. Hoge suggested the design team meet with the
Bicycle /Pedestrian Committee on this.
Jamie Carmody, 405 East Lincoln, an attorney representing Harry Hellison and
Hellison Lumber, commented that their concern is the impact of both construction and
the design as it relates to Mr. Hellison's business. He asked for the City's help in
making sure that he is not adversely impacted in order to achieve this project. He said
the design does not appear to include right -of -way acquisition and does appear to
preserve access to the east side and the main entrance area of the facility. If access
to Mr. Hellison's business is impacted during the construction period it could be
devastating.
John Puccinelli, 4102 Donald Drive, agreed with Mr. Carmody and noted there are
other businesses in the area that will have economic impacts. He feels these
businesses should be compensated for that economic impact both during construction
and after the project is finished.

APRIL 2002
Gordon Wonder, 5205 Sycamore Drive, thinks the proposed change to the resolution
to study the economic impacts is very important. He explained that the people who
attended the last Council meeting and the public hearing at the Senior Center were
told that impacts were going to be studied and by putting this change into the
resolution it assures them they will be.
There was discussion about the potential impacts to the businesses in the area,
especially the gas station and the tire store. The method of determining losses and
the NEPA process was discussed. Gordon Wonder commented about the financial
impacts stating that the City can't just give money away to people. There would have
to be negotiations with the property owner. Harry Hellison, 5301 Crest Drive, said he
has strong feelings against the project, but was at this meeting only to ask that
Hellison Lumber, Elliott Tire, Mel's Diner, Yakima Oil, and all the affected property
owners be treated equally and receive fair compensation if they are required to close,
move, or for whatever inconveniences are required.
City Manager Zais explained that with the impact analysis we want to be sure we can
provide every possible eligibility criteria to the funding agencies because although we
currently have enough money to complete the project, it may not be enough to deal
with economic impacts that are determined through this analysis. Our goal is not to
see businesses harmed or impaired in such a way that they are unable to continue in
operation. Council Member Mattson added that documentation under the National
Environmental Policy Act requires that you first avoid impacts or demonstrate that you
tried to avoid them; that you minimize those impacts or demonstrate that you've tried
to and, finally, mitigate for those impacts. He suggested that we put the compensation
to the sidelines for now because we are going to go through the environmental quality
regulations for implementing NEPA that specifically lay out the sequence for mitigation.
He said we've got several steps we need to work through according to NEPA that
precede the writing of checks for compensation.
Mike Murphy, 4411 Snow Mountain Road, spoke emphatically against the
underpasses. He doesn't see the need and is quite upset about the possible impacts
the construction will cause to the businesses in the area.
The City Clerk read the revised resolution by title only; SIMS MOVED AND MATTSON
SECONDED TO ADOPT THE REPLACEMENT RESOLUTION. The motion carried
by unanimous roll call vote; Puccinelli was recused.
RESOLUTION NO. R- 2002 -40, A RESOLUTION directing the City Manager to
authorize BERGER / ABAM Engineers, Inc., to complete the environmental
documentation and the design report for railroad underpasses at B Street and Lincoln
Avenue with Front Street maintained as a through street.
8. PRESENTATION AND REPORT FROM GOLDER ASSOCIATES ON THE STATUS
OF THE AQUIFER STORAGE AND RECOVERY PROJECT
Dueane Calvin, Water and Irrigation Manager, introduced Chris Petrie from Golder

Recovery test pilot program recently completed.

explained that they had determined there would be a thirteen -day gap if the Council
makes their decision on May 21S As a result, the Downtown Association has asked
that the public hearing be moved forward two weeks to May 7, 2002. He said the
gap is fairly insignificant in terms of operation but it does create a period of thirteen
days that essentially there would be no PBIA in effect. PUCCINELLI MOVED AND

APRIL 16, 2002
Council Member Mattson addressed Mike Murphy's earlier comment in which he tied
Sound Transit and the Washington State Department of Transportation together
clarifying that those are two separate organizations. He said the Secretary of
Transportation, Doug McDonald, has a seat on Sound Transit's Board and that is the
extent of the decision making involvement of the DOT. The DOT also does planning
with Sound Transit.
Council Member Mattson also noted that as the delegate to the Yakima River Basin
Salmon Recovery Funding Board he had great news to share. The State Salmon
Recovery Board met in Olympia last Thursday and Friday and our Naches River Water
Intake Treatment Screening Project was successful. Dueane Calvin, Water and
Irrigation Manager, announced that we had received a $300,000 grant from the
Salmon Recovery Funding Board. He also advised status on two grant applications
submitted to the Bonneville Power Administration.
Council Member Barnett announced that the City was awarded $762,403 from the STP
Regional Fund distribution.
Council Member George thanked Council members for agreeing to a Study Session on
the expansion of gambling and mini - casinos in the City. He said this request was
prompted by the public hearing on the 40 Avenue and River Road application and
also by the comment from the Hearing Examiner that the City appears to have no legal
power to do anything about controlling gambling within its limits. That would indicate
that the Washington State Gambling Commission determines the location and number
of mini - casinos in the city. He didn't think that as corroot becau "se when he accessed
the website of the Washington State Gambling Commission there were five pages
containing over 60 cities and counties which do, indeed, prohibit gambling in some
form either through moratoriums, zoning restrictions, or outright bans. This study
session will allow us to know exactly what legal authority we have when citizens
complain.
City Manager Zais mentioned that the adjournment from this meeting to a special
meeting next Tuesday will also include an Executive Session at the beginning of the
meeting at 2:00. It will be about one -half hour in executive session to review legal
advice and Council's options. We will then come into public session for the review of
the matter that we will be discussing.
