9. REPORT FROM PARKS & RECREATION DIVISION REGARDING FENCING
OPTIONS FOR TAHOMA CEMETERY
Chris Waarvick, Public Works Director, stated that staff has
provided additional information since the previous discussion on
May 18, including options and costs. Staff recommends that
Council consider the improvements along 24 Avenue as the first
priority. Staff also advises Council to consider reactivating a
Tahoma Cemetery Subcommittee to study the cemetery and bring
Council a detailed report on the entire needs of the cemetery
including financing options. After handing the gavel to
Assistant Mayor Place, Mayor Puccinelli commented that the
fencing issue brings out strong feelings from the citizens who
have relatives buried at Tahoma Cemetery. These citizens want
to see an attractive fence; however, he commented that the
City's finances might not be able to afford that option. He
agreed with the recommendation to reactivate the cemetery
committee. Council Member Sims stated that there are nine acres
as yet undeveloped and perhaps the Committee should also study
that issue. Stating that he has received more phone calls on
this issue than almost any other issue, Council Member Buchanan
commented that something more than a chain link fence is needed,
especially along the 24 Avenue frontage property. Council
Member Beauchamp reported that a citizen called him about the
lack of water in the cemetery; when they needed water for
flowers they had to go across the street to get it. It was
MOVED BY PUCCINELLI, SECONDED BY SIMS, TO REFORM THIS COMMITTEE
TO LOOK AT FENCING, WITH A NICE FENCE ON 24 AVENUE AND TO LOOK
AT THE TOTAL CEMETERY COSTS AND THE FUTURE OF THE CEMETERY AND
THE FINANCING PLANS. The motion carried by unanimous voice
vote. Council Member Buchanan expressed the hope that waiting
for this report will not unduly delay the construction of the
cemetery fence along 24 Avenue. Council Members Beauchamp and
Buchanan volunteered to serve on this Committee with Mayor
Puccinelli. Council Member Sims agreed to serve as an
alternate.
10. CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION CALLING FOR A SPECIAL ELECTION ON
FLUORIDATING THE CITY'S WATER SUPPLY
Jeff West, Senior Assistant City Attorney, stated that this
resolution calls for a special election to be held this November
for city residents to determine if fluoride should be introduced
4
5
JUNE 15, 1999
into the City's water supplies. After the discussion at the
last Council meeting, staff researched the issue about private •
water supplies and determined that due to monitoring
limitations, it is recommended that fluoride be limited to any
water system that has 250 or more connections. Essentially,
this recommendation would require only the City's and Nob Hill
Water's systems to be fluoridated. Council Member Barnett asked
Mr. West to explain why it is better to put this issue on the
ballot this year instead of in 2000. Mr. West replied that the
City Charter permits only one issue to be placed on the ballot
every six months, If, in seven or eight months, there were a
citizen referendum that comes forth, this issue would get bumped
from the ballot.
Dr. Russell Maier stated he was pleased to see the change to
eliminate small water systems from the ordinance; however', he
expressed concern that language about osteoporosis is in the
resolution. He stated that physicians he spoke with say there
are no studies to support that theory. He further commented
that if the wording about increasing the water rates is in the .
ballot title, then he feels the amount should be included since
it is so small; just pennies a month.
Dr. Jeff Hagen suggested simplifying the ballot title. As an
example he read the ballot titles from the cities of Olympia and
Bremerton. He agrees with Dr. Maier on the osteoporosis wording
and the water rate language modification, as well as the more
reasonable fluoride- monitoring requirement affecting systems
with 250 or more connections. Jeff West explained the reasoning
behind the suggested wording; that being a way to inform the
public about the possibility that their water rates could go up
if these regulations .are implemented. Extra language is
necessary because Yakima needs to address the private water
suppliers in Yakima. Dr. Hagen also noted that fluoride doesn't
have to be removed for salmon because salmon love fluoride, and
the ocean contains 1.5 PPM of fluoride. Dr. Hagen also
encouraged the Council to consider the possibility of applying
for a grant to help with the cost to implement fluoridation
should the voters approve this measure.
Doug Corpron, M.D., 5510 Englewood Avenue, supports the
fluoridation issue, urged the Council to remove the osteoporosis
language, and encouraged them to simplify the ballot title so it
is easily understood.
Dorothy Rose, 617 South 17 Avenue, . spoke against fluoridation
because she feels there is no way to regulate the total amount
of fluoride that people ingest. She urged the Council to vote
against the resolution because she feels the dangers far
outweigh the benefits.
5
6
JUNE 15, 1999
Deloris Boaz, 102 Gilbert Drive, spoke against putting the issue
on the ballot because she considers fluoride a poison, a mass
medication, and a contributing factor for adverse systemic and
neuralgic conditions, particularly influencing childrens' immune
system development.
John Vornbrock feels more evaluation is necessary to change the
wording of the proposed ballot title.
Freya Burgstaller, 5700 Belmont Avenue, reiterated her
opposition to fluoridating the water because she feels it is a
waste of money, and it should not be forced upon those who don't
want it.
Members of Council asked various questions and requested
clarification about the proposed ballot title requirements,
particularly about the increased water rate awareness wording
and trying for another grant if the voters approve the measure.
Resolution No. R- 99 -79, having been read by title, it was MOVED
BY KLINGELE, SECONDED BY BUCHANAN, TO ADOPT THE RESOLUTION.
Council Member Beauchamp said he would like the language deleted
relating to a water rate increase. Council Member Barnett said
it should say " at water rate payers expense." It was MOVED BY
PLACE, SECONDED BY SIMS, TO DELETE THE FOURTH WHEREAS IN THE
RESOLUTION CONCERNING CONFLICTING OSTEOPOROSIS LANGUAGE, SECTION
4.04. The ballot title shall read Shall all potable water
supply systems having 250 or more connections within the City of
Yakima be fluoridated according to state standards, all as more
fully provided in Resolution No. R- 99 -79, of the Yakima City
Council.
RESOLUTION NO. R- 99 -79, A RESOLUTION providing for the submittal
to the electors of the City of Yakima, Washington, at a special
election to be held in conjunction with the State General
Election of November 2, 1999, of a proposition as to whether or
not publicly and privately owned class " A" water supplies
shall be fluoridated as a public health and safety regulation at
water rate payer expense.
11. CONSIDERATION OF RECOMMENDATION FROM COUNCIL ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE REGARDING 108 LOAN APPLICATION FOR JEM
DEVELOPMENT AND SET DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING FOR JULY 6, 1999
Paul Schafer, 2606 Tieton Drive, expressed concern about the
requested funding to tear down the Great Western Building. Bill
Cook, Director of Community and Economic Development, explained
that this proposal will go forward; however, there will be
public hearings held, and there will be opportunity for public
comments. City Manager Zais suggested that Mr. Schafer write a
6
7.

8
JUNE 15, 1999
constructed. It is now 31 on the list which means it will
take a long time to accomplish. He requested that this location
be included under priority number three. Council Members
Buchanan and Klingele stated this is a dangerous section of
street that needs repair and needs to be rebuilt. City Manager
Zais explained that it is not in the program at this time, and
it could be years froth now before its turn comes up; however, an
interim repair could be considered. Bob Desgrosellier, Senior
Engineer, suggested this improvement be ranked as part of the
Mead improvements. Council Member Klingele requested that
acronyms be spelled out and that the list be put on 11 by 17
paper so it is easier to read.
