Council Member Buchanan discussed the new travel policy, stating
that he had recently been able to find an airline ticket at a
less expensive price than that found by the City. Council
Member Puccinelli said that the resolution had been amended to

actual fare cost not to exceed the City booking amount. Member
Buchanan said that if an individual used a little initiative,
there could be a savings to.the City.
4. CONSENT AGENDA
Mayor Place referred to the items placed on the Consent Agenda,
questioning whether there were any additions or deletions from
either Council members or citizens present. Item No. 10 was .
removed from the agenda entirely. Acting City Manager Rice
explained that the City had been working with the County on the
Apple Tree Sewer issue and a few details remain that need to be
addressed, therefore, the item was being delayed until the
September 5 Council agenda. It was the general consensus to
remove Items Nos. 15 .and 25 from the Consent Agenda and to add
Item No. 23. The City Clerk then read the Consent Agenda items,
including resolutions and ordinances by title. It was MOVED BY
SIMS, SECONDED BY BUCHANAN, THAT THE CONSENT AGENDA, AS READ, BE
ADOPTED. The motion carried by unanimous roll call vote;
Beauchamp absent. (Subsequent paragraphs preceded by an asterisk

*A. APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF THE AUGUST 1, 2000 BUSINESS MEETING
The minutes of the August 1, 2000 Business meeting were
approved, having been duly certified accurate by two Council
members and no one present wishing to have said minutes read
publicly.
5. AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION
Jim Cummins, 703, North 25 Avenue, Pamela Maxey, 709 North 25
Avenue, and Jerry Epperson, 708 North 25 Avenue, addressed the
Council regarding a six -plex that had been moved onto a lot in
their neighborhood. In their research, they were surprised to
learn that the zoning had been changed and this multi - family
unit was legal. They expressed frustration with a planning
process that would allow a zoning change in their neighborhood
without notification. They also described what they believe to
be code violations and a dangerous situation. Dan Valoff,
Associate Planner, stated this property was rezoned during the
Growth Management process in which the zoning for the urban area
was reviewed. The process did not require individual
notification of proposed zoning changes, but notification to the
community as a whole about the process was given through the
newspaper. Doug Maples, Code Administration Manager, addressed
the code violation and safety issue, stating he would research
the neighbors' questions about the building sitting in the
right -of -way and the danger of the raised building not sitting
on a foundation yet. In response to Council Member Puccinelli's
question, he will review the parking and sidewalk requirements
for the six -plex. Council Member Buchanan said that when there
is a major rezone like this, the City should have to meet the
same sign requirements required for developers and place signs
in the area to be rezoned. Council Member Puccinelli suggested
the City purchase portable signs to meet the sign requirements
and roll them into neighborhoods to announce the proposed land -
use changes.
Richard Aguirre, 120 North 45 Avenue, along with his
neighbors, Ed Cunnington, 108 North 45 Avenue, and John
Hitchcock, 110 North 45 Avenue, spoke about concerns they have
with cars speeding in their neighborhood. They requested better
enforcement of the speed limit and . the noise ordinance.
Mr. Hitchcock described 45 Avenue as a very narrow street and
challenged Council to condemn some property and make it a full -
width street.

Joan Davenport, Public Works, said a work order for seven stop
signs to be placed throughout the area was issued today, the
result of many people previously calling Public Works. The
signs should be installed before school is underway. This will
not solve all of the problems, but should help slow the traffic
down. Mr. Aguirre said there had been numerous accidents at
Walnut and 45th and said stop signs at Barge and 45th could help
address this problem. Mayor Place asked that there be a follow -
up report submitted on how the stop signs are working.
6. PUBLIC HEARING ON NOB HILL /SOUTH 40TH AVENUE ANNEXATION (SEE
ORDINANCE ANNEXING PROPERTY)
Bruce Benson, City Planning Division, said the annexation was
initiated on June 15, 1999. When the application was submitted
to the Boundary Review Board the County of Yakima invoked
jurisdiction and asked that a hearing be held. A hearing was
held in front of the Boundary Review Board on March 9, 2000.
The County requested that a 51 -acre island be added to the
City's proposed annexation and the Board did so. Mayor Place
asked if the people in the area received notice. Mr. Benson
said they received notice both from the County and the City.
The City has received petitions and signed outside utility
agreements in excess of the 75% requirement. The annexation is
167 acres with a population of 705 people, and an assessed
valuation of approximately $42 million.
Lyle Gapen, 35th and Logan, said two years ago when the City
wanted to annex, he remembers receiving a document sent out by
the City Manager that said there was not enough fire protection.
After discussion regarding the accuracy of this claim, Council
Member Buchanan responded, yes, to Mr. Gapen's question of
whether there was adequate fire protection. Mr. Gapen also
questioned the equalization of taxes between living in the
county versus in the city. Council Members provided information
about the City's utility taxes that will be offset by not paying
the higher non - citizen rate for sewer and that he would no
longer pay the County Road tax. Council Member Mattson said
that as a City resident, a person would pay. approximately $22.00
more per hundred thousand dollars of valuation. Mr. Gapen went
on to lodge a complaint about the City bus running down 34
Avenue saying the street wasn't built to support the weight of
the bus. He also asked, with the annexation, who would be the
City Council member representing him. He was advised that
. although Council Member Barnett will be his district
representative, all Council Members ultimately represent all
citizens. Mr. Gapen closed by saying he was against this
annexation. •

There being no other citizen wishing to address this issue,
Mayor Place closed the public hearing. Ordinance No. 2000 -32
having been read by title, it was MOVED BY SIMS, SECONDED BY
BUCHANAN, TO PASS THE ORDINANCE. The motion carried by
unanimous roll call vote; Beauchamp absent.
ORDINANCE NO. 2000 -32, AN ORDINANCE concerning annexation;
annexing the Nob Hill /S. 40th Avenue Annexation area to the City
of Yakima; maintaining the current zoning of the area; providing
for notice to the WUTC of the City's intent to provide
residential refuse collection and disposal service; assumption
of the City's current indebtedness by properties in the Nob
Hill /S. 40th Avenue Annexation area; and an effective date of
September 18, 2000.
7. PUBLIC HEARING ON SIX -YEAR TRANSIT CAPITAL PLAN /BUS REPLACEMENT
PROGRAM FOR 2001 - 2006 (See resolution adopting plan)
Chris Waarvick, Public Works Director, reviewed the three
options available for Council consideration. Option A was to
purchase four medium -sized buses. Option B was developed by the
Transit Task Force and called for six light -duty buses in
service with four more in the upcoming year. In Option C,
developed at the last Transit Committee meeting, the
recommendation is to withhold requisition of major capital
dollars until the status and implications of Initiative 745 are
known. Council Member Sims asked if the City would place
equipment orders with language allowing the City to get out of
the agreement if the initiative passed. Mr. Waarvick responded
that if staff were to place an order, there would be an "out"
provision.
Council Member Barnett asked if staff members had a contingency
plan for Transit in case Initiative 745 passed. Mr. Waarvick
said the City receives $3.6 million from the local voter -
approved transit sales tax and that, along with fare box
revenues and Federal money, creates the budget. He pointed out
that maintenance costs are billed a year after they are
incurred, so even if the Initiative passes, there are
obligations that the Transit Division would still have next
year. Transit also contributes a significant amount to City
service charges. Council Member Puccinelli said it is only 90
days until there is an answer and he would like to wait to order
equipment until after the election.
Mayor Place said she has concerns about voting for small buses
before she receives a report on how the current small buses are
functioning. Richard Wonner, Fleet Manager, has been tracking
what is happening with the new, smaller buses and could have the
information Mayor Place requested in the near future. John
Haddix, Acting Transit Manager, said they are trying to have an
adopted Transit Capital Improvement Plan in place for the
4
AUGUST 15, 2000 431
Conference of Governments' review process, which is necessary to
receive Federal funding. This October is when the Conference of
Governments (COG) will be approving the Transportation
Improvement Program, therefore, the public hearing process needs
to be completed. It would be beneficial to get in sync with COG,
but it would not prevent the City from amending its plan and
applying for funds at a later date.
Aileen Kane, 701 South 14 Avenue, has had occasion to compare
smaller with bigger buses as a rider and thinks the City should
consider mid -size buses. She understands if the Council needs
to delay the decision until after the election; however, she
doesn't want to jeopardize funding opportunities.
Carol Masterson, 1114 South 32nd Avenue, has seen big buses run
up and down her street nearly empty. She applauds Council for
getting smaller buses that are easier on the highways. She
suggested the bigger buses for park- and -ride lots and suggested
two smaller buses be used on routes during peak times. She also
asked that the bus drivers be cautioned to drive the speed
limit.
Lynne Kittelson, 305 North 9th Street, is concerned about the
cost. She is also concerned about the spare ratio because it
will be in little buses, not big buses. She was unhappy about
the private meeting that took place last month regarding this
issue, when Mr. DeAtley, Mr. Smith and Mr. Berger met with
Council and discussed these issues. She feels it is ludicrous
that people who do not ride the bus are making decisions for
those who do. She expressed her displeasure with Route #3. She
emphasized that the space in the smaller buses is uncomfortable
and people are taking two spots.
There being no other citizen wishing to testify, Mayor Place
closed the public hearing. It was MOVED BY BARNETT, SECONDED BY
BUCHANAN, TO TABLE THE ISSUE FOR 'TWO WEEKS. The motion carried
by unanimous voice vote; Beauchamp absent.
8. CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION REGARDING HAZARDOUS VEGETATION AND
DEBRIS ABATEMENT PROGRAM
Doug Maples, Code Administration Manager, said the same person
owns the four lots on the list. City staff has attempted to
contact the owner by phone and registered mail with no response.
There was no citizen present who wished to speak to this issue.
Resolution No. R- 2000 -96 having been read by title, it was MOVED
BY SIMS, SECONDED BY BUCHANAN, TO ADOPT THE RESOLUTION. The
motion carried by unanimous roll call vote; Beauchamp absent.
RESOLUTION NO. R- 2000 -96, A RESOLUTION authorizing the Code
Administration Manager to clear certain weedy lots.

9. CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FROM VALLEY IMAGING PARTNERSHIP TO
INSTALL TRAFFIC CALMING DEVICES IN MEDICAL CENTER ALLEY
Joan Davenport, Traffic Division, presented a petition from the
property owners to install speed bumps in the alley. The
petition is unanimously signed by all of the owners on that
block. She explained that the cost for installing the devices
would be the responsibility of Valley Imaging. Staff recommends
that the project be reviewed after a year. Mayor Place said she
does not like speed bumps, because they divert traffic to other
neighborhoods and tempts some people into going very fast.
Council Member Buchanan said there have been traffic calming
devices near 20th Avenue for several years that work well. Dale
Lucas, contractor representing Valley Imaging Partners, said
there is in excess of 125 pedestrian trips across the alley and
they would like to safeguard the employees who make those trips.
Council Member Mattson questioned whether speed humps is the
best option and suggested that asphalt diverters protruding on
either side of the alley may be an option to give the visual
image to people that they need to slow down. Council Member
Puccinelli commented that alleys are made for deliveries and we
would have to be careful not to interfere with that capability.
It was MOVED BY BUCHANAN, SECONDED BY SIMS, TO APPROVE THE
REQUEST FOR A ONE -YEAR TRIAL PERIOD, WITH THE COST OF
INSTALLATION BEING THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE REQUESTOR. It was
MOVED BY PUCCINELLI, SECONDED BY SIMS, TO AMEND THE MOTION TO
INDICATE THAT VALLEY IMAGING PARTNERS WILL ALSO PAY FOR REMOVAL
OF THE TRAFFIC CALMING DEVICES, IF NECESSARY. The motion
carried by unanimous voice vote; Beauchamp absent. Council
Member Mattson suggested the alternative type of traffic calming
devices. Mr. Lucas said those work well for many instances, but
would not work well in this alley. The question was called for a
vote on the motion, as amended. The motion carried by 5 -1
voice vote; Place voting nay; Beauchamp absent.

AUGUST 15, 2000
15. CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF AGREEMENT
WITH ALLIED ARTS FOR THE MILLENNIUM PLAZA PROJECT
Council Member Barnett took this off the consent agenda because
the staff report indicated that a non - profit organization cannot
commit to something in perpetuity and he thinks this is in
conflict with the licensing agreement, which talks about
perpetual maintenance and repair. Doug Maples, Acting Community
Development Director, deferred it to the Legal Department.
Assistant City Attorney, Helen Harvey, said this agreement had
been prepared by City Attorney, Ray Paolella, and she did not
have an answer for Council Member Barnett, but she would
research it. Council Member Puccinelli said he is not sure how
anyone can promise something in perpetuity, and is not sure why
the language needs to be in the agreement. Elizabeth Harris
Miller, 4912 Scenic Terrace, Executive Director of Allied Arts,
has spoken with Mr. Paolella several times. The language in the
agreement reflects the fact that a foundation will be
established to care for the plaza. The foundation will have
representatives from Allied Arts and the City. Council Member
Barnett said it would still be a non - profit organization.
Acting City Manager Rice said if Council agreed with the
concept, the City Manager and Attorney could work out the
language details. It was MOVED BY SIMS, SECONDED BY BUCHANAN,
TO ADOPT THE RESOLUTION SUBJECT TO AMENDMENT OF THE LANGUAGE.
The resolution passed by . a 5 -0 -1 roll call vote, with Barnett
abstaining and Beauchamp absent.

construct a Park and Ride parking lot, previously having been
read by title only, was brought before the Council for a second
reading.
Carol Masterson, 1114 South 32nd Avenue, wanted some background
information on this area and how much money has been put into
this project asking why is it $100,000 shy of what is needed.
Mayor Place explained that this is a grant approval from Commute
Trip Reduction funds to construct a park and ride lot between
I -82 and Fair Avenue by exit 33A, so people can park their
vehicles and take transit into town or a van pool to Hanford.
No City funds are involved in this process at all. The $100,000
comes from the Council of Governments. Chris Waarvick, Director
of Public Works, said the cost of the lot is $160,000 and there
