7. PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER APPEAL OF DENIAL TO RENEW TAXI
DRIVER'S LICENSE FOR:
This being the time set for the public hearing, Mayor Puccinelli
explained that these issues could be heard privately if the
appellants so desire. Both gentlemen indicated that they wanted
to be heard in the public setting.
A. RONALD ANDERSON
Chief Blesio reported that on August 6, 1999, Ronald Anderson
applied to renew his Taxi Driver's License. A temporary license
was issued until the application was reviewed. Mr. Anderson's
application was denied after a driver's check indicated he
received five moving violations in three years, which include
failure to stop and speeding violations. The Police Department
recommendation is to deny the request because the appellant does
not meet the standard as required in YMC Section 5.78.190(4)
City driver's license - Qualifications.
Ronald Anderson, 507 South 3 rd Street, Selah, explained that he
feels the tickets he received are for relatively minor
violations. He requested that the five year -three violation
criterion be waived. He also noted that he recognizes that he
needs to slow down, reported that he now wears his seatbelt all
the time, and that his credit and character are good.
Members of the Council asked several questions, requested
clarification, and commented about the serious nature of the
violations on Mr. Anderson's motor vehicle driving record.
Keith Larrabee, 2919 South 90 Avenue, owner of Cascade Cab
Company, explained that he feels the five - year -three violation
criterion is unjust compared to what other cities across the
state require. He suggested the requirements be rewritten to
require a defensive driving course or other safe driving measure
instead of denying Mr. Anderson his taxicab driver's license.
Jeff West, City Prosecutor, noted the Yakima Municipal Code
(YMC) quite clearly prevents issuance of a taxi driver's license
2
95
SEPTEMBER 21, 1999
due to serious violations. He also explained that the 1997
amendment to YMC 5.78.190(4), adding an appeal process or
review, was implemented at the request of taxicab companies.
It was MOVED BY SIMS, SECONDED BY PLACE, TO DENY THIS PERSON
(RONALD ANDERSON) THE RIGHT TO DRIVE A TAXICAB. After members
of the Council further discussed the situation, it was their
general consensus that a copy of the applicable Municipal Code
regulations (YMC Chapter 5.78 Taxicabs and Vehicles for Hire) be
provided to cab companies and taxicab drivers applying for a
license. The reasoning behind that decision is for the
applicants to become familiar with the requirements of the law.
Mary McDaniels spoke in favor of the denial to renew
Mr. Anderson's Taxi Driver's license because she considers the
violations to be serious, and, she feels public transportation
must have safe drivers. The question was called for a vote on
the motion. The motion carried by unanimous voice vote.
B. JAMES O'BRIEN
Chief Blesio reported that on August 9, 1999, James O'Brien
applied to renew his Taxi Driver's License. His application was
denied after investigation revealed Mr. O'Brien had three moving
violations in the past five years. Chief Blesio also explained
that since the time of the review, after a failure to appear,
Mr. O'Brien's driver's license was suspended as of September 16,
1999. The Police Department recommendation is to deny the
appeal because the appellant does not meet the standard as
required in YMC Section 5.78.190(4) City driver's license -
Qualifications.
Jeff West, City Prosecutor, noted that if Mr. O'Brien's regular
driver's license is suspended for nonpayment of a fine, then his
Taxi Driver's license could not be renewed because renewal would
violate state law. Even if the appeal process allows any of his
three violations to be' waived, Mr. O'Brien has to have a regular
driver's license in order to have his cab's license renewed.
James O'Brien, 629 North 6th Avenue, explained that he failed to
appear in traffic court because he did not read the instructions
on the back of his ticket. Mr. O'Brien reported he has since
paid his fines and has his license back. Referring to the three
violations in five years on his motor vehicle driving record,
Mr. O'Brien described the circumstances involving one of the
violations. Showing a picture to illustrate his point (Exhibit
No. 1), Mr. O'Brien explained that his speedometer gauge was
broken; and he was actually driving only five -mph over the speed
limit instead of ten mph over as indicated by the State Patrol.
He has repaired the speedometer and has not had any problem
since. Members of the Council asked several additional
questions and requested clarification about the deficient
speedometer as it relates to the moving violation. Chief Blesio
noted that the November 10, 1996 violation would drop off
Mr. O'Brien's driving record in 2001. He also verified that
3
96
SEPTEMBER 21, 1999
Mr. O'Brien's suspended driver's license had been reinstated.
Since the concern about the suspended driver's license appeared
to be addressed, it was MOVED BY BEAUCHAMP, SECONDED BY BARNETT,
THAT UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES THE COUNCIL WOULD MAKE AN EXCEPTION
AND JAMES O'BRIEN COULD RENEW HIS TAXI DRIVER'S LICENSE. After
briefly discussing the consequences of violating the five year -
three moving violation criterion, the question was called for a
vote on the motion. The motion carried by 5 -2 voice vote;
Buchanan and_Place voting nay.
9. AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION
William Strole, 105 North 53 Avenue, requested that Council
consider utilizing alternate bus routes the morning of the
Sunfair Parade on September 25, 1999. As it now stands buses
are not scheduled to run until 12:30 p.m. after the parade is
over because streets leading to the parade route will be
blocked. Mr. Strole reported that he had previously asked that
alternate bus service be used and read a letter from the City
responding to his request. Chris Waarvick, Public Works
Director, reported that they had been trying to contact
Mr. Strole to arrange a Transit van to take him, along with his
friends, to the parade. Normal bus fare will be charged.
Mr. Waarvick also explained the difficulty of rerouting bus
schedules, and that is why in recent years bus service has not
been provided the morning of the parade. Mr. Waarvick also gave
the telephone number so other citizens could request a ride to
the parade.
Ralph Eastridge, 1813 East Mead Avenue, asked that the City take
action to mitigate a potential fire hazard and potential code
violations at his neighbor's property. He specifically has a
problem with 10 or 11 parked cars in his neighbor's yard, as
well as cardboard on the windows. Mr. Eastridge also reported
that a structure is currently under construction on the same
neighbor's property. Council Member Place agreed with
Mr. Eastridge and reported that she had visited the site and
witnessed the situation. She expressed concern about a
potential fire hazard. There was continued discussion among
Council members and staff about building permit requirements as
it relates to the allowable 120- square foot building size, which
could be acceptable if the structures are not connected.
10. PRESENTATION OF REPORT ON YAKIMA VALLEY REGIONAL WELLHEAD
PROTECTION PLAN (WHPP)
Dave Brown, Water and Irrigation Engineer,: explained that the
Yakima Valley Regional Wellhead Protection Plan (Plan) is being
prepared in accordance with Department of Health requirements as
mandated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). That
endeavor was financed by the Department of Ecology's Centennial
Clean Water Fund. The Executive Summary of the plan was
provided to the Council because the Regional Wellhead Protection
Plan is not yet in final form. Mr. Brown noted that the
4
97
SEPTEMBER 21, 1999
complete document would be available when the implementation
portion of the Plan has been completed.
Seven municipal water purveyors from the Upper Yakima Valley
make up the Regional Wellhead Protection Committee (RWHPC). All
seven met to create the Plan. They include the City of Moxee;
Town of Naches; Nob Hill Water Association; City of Selah; Town
of Tieton; City of Union Gap; as well as the City of Yakima.
Within the Regional Plan each water purveyor will have its own
Plan that reflects the location of its groundwater supplies
(wells), identifies potential sources of groundwater
contamination, includes management strategies to prevent
groundwater contamination, and contingency mitigation plans
should contamination occur. An interlocal agreement among all
seven water .purveyors will be presented for Council
consideration in the near future. That agreement will reflect
how member communities will pool resources and management
efforts to pay Yakima County $1,000 a year to track all data,
create and maintain a data base, and provide a website that
citizens could access. Literature will also be available for
distribution to educate the public about wellhead protection.
Actual plan implementation will occur after that.
Mr. Brown then entertained several questions from the Council
concerning Yakima County's mapping system capabilities. He
explained that the wellhead protection zone map is a result of
EPA's mandate to identify wellhead sites and is one of the first
steps in wellhead protection. He then indicated the locations
of the City's Kissell, Airport, and Kiwanis wells. Another step
in wellhead protection is to overlay the protection zone map
into the City's GIS map. That will enhance the City's building
permit application process by identifying the location of the
applicant's building site in proximity to the wellhead
protection zone. Yet another step in wellhead protection will
be to notify property owners that their land is within the
wellhead protection zone and provide information about what are
proper' and what are improper landuses within the wellhead
protection zone. Mr. Brown also reported that the Federal
Government would take care of wellhead protection for the Firing
Center.
Mr. Brown also answered questions from the Council concerning
whether any restrictions would be placed on property within the
Wellhead Protection Overlay Zone in the future. He explained
that within the next 10 to 15 years, wellhead protection will
more than likely be included in the Design Services Team review
process. As an example, Mr. Brown referred to a gas station
project; the DST would probably restrict underground gasoline
storage tanks in the Wellhead Protection Overlay Zone. Members
of the Council also inquired about the size, location, and
characteristics of the aquifers and whether consumption or the
constant motion of the aquifers would have any impact or would
contribute to a public contamination route to the well's capture
5
98
SEPTEMBER 21, 1999
zone. Mr. Brown noted that wellhead protection was originally
directed toward surface contaminates which really impact shallow
wells. The City of Yakima's wells are located in deep aquifers
and are basically protected from surface contamination. The
City of Yakima's Wellhead Protection Plan would focus more on
ground water contamination than on surface contamination.
Mr. Brown introduced Jeff Stevens, Project Manager, and Dan
Haler, Project Engineer, with Gray & Osborne, who are working
for the RWHPC. Mr. Stevens noted that their hydrologic modeling
assumptions are very conservative, and the focus of the wellhead
protection program will be public education efforts to protect
wellheads from sources that cause groundwater contamination. He
further reported that there have been no new laws imposed to
implement wellhead protection. Only existing rules will be
enforced to educate the public about wellhead protection.
11. CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF AGREEMENT
WITH CENTRAL WASHINGTON FAIR ASSOCIATION TO HOST STATE HIGH
SCHOOL BASKETBALL TOURNAMENTS AT THE YAKIMA SUNDOME
Dean Crawford asked that this item be removed from the Consent
Agenda so that he could request that the issue be explained.
Mayor Puccinelli noted that this would authorize the City to
provide funds towards the purchase of a second basketball court
so two games can be played at the same time during tournaments.
He also explained that the County put in $8,000 and several
other organizations also helped sponsor the project. The sales
tax return from tourism will benefit the businesses in the area.
Resolution No. R -99 -125, having been by title only, it was
MOVED BY BUCHANAN, SECONDED BY BEAUCHAMP, TO ADOPT THE
RESOLUTION. The motion carried by unanimous roll call vote.
RESOLUTION NO. R -99 -125, A RESOLUTION authorizing the City
Manager of the City of Yakima to execute an agreement between
the City of Yakima and the Central Washington Fair Association

tournaments to the Yakima Sundome.
12. CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING PURCHASE AND SALE
AGREEMENT WITH MOULTRAY AND ASSOCIATES FOR SURPLUS CITY -OWNED
PROPERTY AT 3204, 3206, AND 3208 NOB HILL BOULEVARD
Dean Crawford asked that this item be removed from the Consent
Agenda to ask if this property has ever been put up for bid.
City Manager Zais explained that this property was acquired
during a property exchange with the State of Washington. After
much controversy about the zoning for this property, it was
landbanked and then eventually put out to bid. Alternate and
competitive bid proposals were received, but most projects
proposed for development were incompatible uses to the
neighborhood. This property has been on the market over the
years, but development would be limited. The property is being
sold at fair market value and will return to the taxroles
6
99
SEPTEMBER 21, 1999
because it will no longer be publicly owned land. Council
Member Buchanan noted that there have been many offers to buy
the property over the years, and there was a for -sale sign
posted on the property.
Resolution No. R -99 -126 having been read by title only, it was
MOVED BY SIMS, SECONDED BY BUCHANAN, TO ADOPT THE RESOLUTION.
The motion carried by unanimous roll call vote.
RESOLUTION NO. R -99 -126, A RESOLUTION authorizing the City
Manager to execute a purchase and sale agreement with Moultray &
Associates involving surplus City real estate at 3204, 3206, and '

the City Manager of the City of Yakima to execute an amendment
to a " Professional Engineering Services Agreement" with Bovay
Northwest, Inc., regarding improvements to the ventilation
system of the maintenance shop and parking garage located at the
City of Yakima Public Works Complex, 2301 Fruitvale Boulevard,
Yakima, Washington.
14. CONSIDERATION OF LEGISLATION AUTHORIZING RENEWAL OF CONTRACTS
FOR CITY JAIL INMATE SERVICES WITH:
Dean Crawford requested that this item be removed from the
Consent Agenda so that he could ascertain if the services had
been competitively bid.
Paul McMurray, Assistant City Attorney, explained that there is
no requirement to bid out these services because this is a
situation where the City is not purchasing anything; in fact,
the City is receiving money from both of these contracts. Doug
Bronson, with the Police Department, explained that the Swanson
Commissary contract is where the inmates pay the City the
commission directly for snack items . and various sundry items.
U S West pays the City a 30% commission which is the industry
standard. The City is doing business with them because U S West
has the current contract. No change was made since they are
providing good service, and there is no advantage to the City to
change providers.
A. SWANSON COMMISSARY SERVICES, INC.
Resolution No. R -99 -128 having been read by title only, it was

administrative official waiving any requirements of that section
relating to Fire and Police safety access measures not be
waived. It was MOVED BY BARNETT, SECONDED BY KLINGELE, TO AMEND
THE ORDINANCE CHANGING THE APPLICATION FEE TO $25.00. Council
Member Buchanan feels it should be left the way it is and let
the administrative official make a decision depending on the
type of event. Mayor Puccinelli noted that Union Gap and Selah
charge nothing and sales tax revenue could be quite a loss.
Council Member Beauchamp noted that the City should be in line
with other cities charging nothing because it is in the spirit
of an attitude of welcome. Council Member Sims also feels that
the decision should be up to the administrative official. The
question was called for a vote on the motion. The motion
carried by 5 -2 roll call vote; Buchanan and Sims voting nay. It

20. CONSIDERATION OF LEGISLATION REGARDING THE CHINOOK BUSINESS PARK
BABY JOGGER EXPANSION PROJECT:
Dean Crawford requested that this item be removed from the
Consent Agenda because he was interested in the part where the
City of Yakima is loaning money to Chinook Business Park. He
asked why couldn't this go for roads in his neighborhood.
Council Member Place explained that the funding source is
dedicated by the state for projects that would be creating jobs.
These funds cannot be used for street improvements for Ledwich.
This is SIED money and essentially half will be a grant and half
will be a loan. The purpose of this type of loan is for
businesses to expand beyond normal operations or to come to the
9

Sunnyside are utilizing this type of funding which is for
