bus.

resources. The General Fund is $40.7 million, a 1.2% increase from the
amended 2000 budget. The entire budget is $108 million, a 3.3%
increase from 2000, and mostly due to an increase for capital
improvement projects.
Mayor Place opened the public hearing.
Tony Wentz, Director of Yakima County Emergency Management, stated
his budget is $168,000, of which he has control over $20,000 for

the City's proposed contribution budgeted at 35 cents per thousand
assessed valuation compared to 50 cents per thousand contributed by

transportation services for handicapped and elderly Dial -a -Ride clients.
City Manager Zais reported that their request is above the current Transit
budget level and is not currently budgeted.
Lynne Kittelson, 305 North 9 Street, urged Council not to make any
contingency plan reductions that would result in a reduction of police
officers. She didn't want to see any reduction in the Fire Department that
would result in a loss of firefighters or the Educational Officer position. She
spoke against any increases in the utility rates.
There being no other citizen wishing to comment on the budget, Mayor
Place closed the public hearing.
SPECIAL PRESENTATION
7. PRESENTATION FROM YAKIMA VALLEY CONFERENCE OF
GOVERNMENTS ON ITS 2001 BUDGET
Don Skone, Director of the Conference of Governments (COG), distributed
additional information relating to the 2001 budget proposal. He reported they
reduced the 2001 budget by 6% from 2000. The City's assessment is $31,359,
which includes the 6% reduction, but is increased due to the city's increased
population. He spoke briefly about COG's role in obtaining grants and its
accomplishments for the City during 2000. Council Member Barnett pointed out
that even though the total assessment has increased, the benefits accrued by
being a member far exceeds the assessment.

10. CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING REMOVAL OF TREES IN
THE CITY RIGHT -OF -WAY ON SOUTH 4 STREET AND YAKIMA AVENUE
REQUESTED BY JEM DEVELOPMENT
Joe Morrier, 402 East Yakima Avenue, addressed his desire to replace 14 trees
situated in the sidewalk beside the Mall. This would be done at his cost and he
would replant with whatever tree designated by the Parks and Recreation
Division. Mayor Place asked if the lighting in the trees would also be replaced.
Saying that he had originally paid for those lights, Mr. Morrier assured the Mayor
that he would also light the new trees. Council Member Buchanan pointed out
that several trees removed earlier by Mr. Morrier have yet to be replaced as
promised. Mr. Morrier replied that those trees by the food pavilion would be
replaced during the course of this project. BUCHANAN MOVED AND SIMS
SECONDED TO TURN THIS OVER TO PARKS TO COME UP WITH A TREE
PLANTING PLAN FOR THIS PROJECT AND GO FROM THERE. Council
Member Puccinelli spoke against the motion because Mr. Morrier is willing to pay
all the costs and won't remove the trees until the Parks Division tells him what
type of trees to plant. Council Member Barnett interjected that he thinks the
resolution accomplishes what the motion directs. Mr. Morrier stated he would like
to see a tree that is not bushy and would grow between 12 and 14 feet. Following
discussion, SIMS MOVED AND BUCHANAN SECONDED TO INCLUDEA
TIMEFRAME FOR REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT AND PROVIDE FOR
ADEQUATE IRRIGATION. Phil Hoge, 1512 Folsom, spoke in support of the
motion. Lynne Kittelson, 305 N. 9th Street, commented that the trees provide
needed shade in the summer. The trees Mr. Morrier wants to remove have not
been taken care of and should not be replaced with a tree of that same type.
Jerry Henderson suggested that Council reactivate its previous tree committee of
which he was a member. The question was called for a vote on the motion.
The motion carried by 5 -2 voice vote. The question was called for a vote on
the amended motion to refer this issue to the Parks Division to develop a
tree- planting plan for this project, with adequate irrigation, and include a

ORDINANCES
19. CONSIDERATION OF REPORT AND LEGISLATION REGARDING
AUTOMATED REFUSE PILOT PROGRAM:
A. ACCEPT REPORT AND STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Nancy Fortier, Refuse and Recycling Manager, asked Council to allow staff to
continue the automated /semi - automated refuse collection program, purchase the
containers for the program, and to consider future expansion of the program.
Comments and concerns expressed by Council were:
• Barnett: Survey results indicated a preference for this system if it does not
increase the rates; but, in this proposal, the rates are higher than the private
sector rates, especially if there is a two -can minimum requirement
• Beauchamp: Feedback from the refuse workers indicates a concern about
implementing this program in the alleys because of the low wires and difficulty
in getting the boom up.
• Buchanan: The City could enforce the height restriction regulations. A fully
automated service program would be less expensive than the current
program.
• Puccinelli: The alleys are cleaner using this collection method. He also heard
about concerns that refuse cans would be stolen and this could solve that
problem since the City would provide the cans.
MATTSON MOVED AND SIMS SECONDED TO POSTPONE THIS ISSUE
UNTIL WE HAVE A STUDY SESSION AND ARE GIVEN THE INFORMATION'
ABOUT FULLY AUTOMATED AND TRUE COSTS INVOLVED IN THIS PILOT
PROGRAM. The motion carried by unanimous voice vote.

25
NOVEMBER 21, 2000
Council Member Barnett asked how much the rates will be reduced if we switch to
a one -man operated truck? Council Member Sims stated he would like to see the
breakdown of the number of customers who use one, two, or more cans.
B. FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE AMENDING THE 2000 BUDGET AND
APPROPRIATING FUNDS FOR THE AUTOMATED REFUSE PILOT
PROGRAM (NO ACTION REQUIRED; SECOND READING SCHEDULED 12/5)
Chris Waarvick, Director of Public Works, urged Council to consider Item No. 19B
to allow staff to continue this program through the end of the year. Ms. Fortier
stated that she received a letter from the manufacturer saying this was not
intended to be a long -term lease and the containers need to be purchased or
returned. Council members discussed the costs involved in purchasing the
containers and Ms. Fortier informed them that these cans could be used in the
yard waste program if this pilot program is not extended.
An Ordinance amending the 2000 budget and appropriating'funds for the
automated refuse pilot program, having been read by title only, was laid on the
table for two weeks, until December 5, 2000.
20. CONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCE AMENDING THE MUNICIPAL CODE
RELATING TO ABANDONED /JUNK VEHICLES
This item was removed from the agenda.
Council members took a five - minute break and resumed the meeting at 3:57 p.m.
21. CONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE POLICE CHIEF TO
COMMISSION SPECIAL AUTHORITY POLICE OFFICERS FOR LIMITED
PURPOSES (CORRECTION OFFICERS AND CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS)
Don Blesio, Police Chief, explained this ordinance would permit him to provide
limited commissions to corrections officers and certain Code Division employees.
One benefit of commissioning these employees is to authorize them to serve
warrants. Jerry Henderson, 309 North 35 Avenue, advised the Council that this
legislation would keep a commitment that was asked by the Code Committee to
get the responsibility of hulk vehicles out of the Police Department and placed in
Code Administration. The ordinance having been read by title, BUCHANAN
MOVED AND SIMS SECONDED TO PASS THE ORDINANCE. The motion
carried by unanimous roll call vote.
ORDINANCE NO. 2000 -52, AN ORDINANCE relating to Administration;
authorizing the Chief of Police to commission limited authority police officers and;
enacting as a new Section, Section 1.48.025 of the City of Yakima Municipal
Code.

22. CONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCE AMENDING THE MUNICIPAL CODE
RELATING TO PARKING ENFORCEMENT IN THE CENTRAL BUSINESS
DISTRICT FROM NOVEMBER 20 THROUGH DECEMBER 31 EACH YEAR
Doug Maples presented the report, advising Council this same action was done
last year. This ordinance, however, would permit free parking between
Thanksgiving and New Years every year unless Council takes action to amend or
rescind this resolution. Rita Anson, Director of Finance and Budget, affirmed that
the parking enforcement officer who normally works on Saturdays would have a
change of schedule to work Monday through Friday. The ordinance having been
read by title, SIMS MOVED AND BUCHANAN SECONDED TO PASS THE
ORDINANCE. The motion carried by unanimous roll call vote.
ORDINANCE NO. 2000 -53, AN ORDINANCE relating to traffic; allowing free
parking in the core business district on Saturdays from November 20 through
December 31 of each year, and amending Section 9.50.072 of the City of Yakima
Municipal Code.
23. CONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCES RE- ENACTING, RATIFYING,
APPROVING, AND CONFIRMING 1999 TAX /RATE INCREASES FOR:
City Attorney Paolella presented three ordinances for Council's consideration to
maintain the City's action from last fall when they adopted the property tax levy,
wastewater rates and cemetery fees and charges. He explained that since
Initiative 1 -695 was ruled to be unconstitutional and 1 -722 is in litigation, it leaves
some uncertainties regarding these ordinances that contain rate increases. The
ordinances presented today would simply maintain Council's action from last fall
pending the outcome of this litigation. He commented that this action has been
recommended by a number of parties including Association of Washington Cities,
Municipal Research Services, and the City's bond counsel. Council Member
Puccinelli clarified this would protect the people's vote last year of the 6%
property tax levy increase. Council Member Barnett said that last fall he voted
against that increase, however, this ordinance clarifies the Council's intent with
respect to that previous action.
A. THE REGULAR PROPERTY TAX LEVY PASSED ON NOVEMBER 9, 1999

SECONDED TO PASS THE ORDINANCE. The motion carried by 6 -1 roll call
vote; Puccinelli voting nay.

NOVEMBER 23, 1999
The ordinance having been read by title, BUCHANAN MOVED AND SIMS
SECONDED TO PASS THE ORDINANCE. The motion carried by unanimous roll
call vote. Council Member Puccinelli commented on his vote, stating that the
cemetery is not for everyone to use and they have a choice to go elsewhere.
ORDINANCE NO. 2000 -56, AN ORDINANCE relating to rules, regulations, fees,
and charges for Tahoma Cemetery; reenacting, ratifying, approving and

25. CLOSED RECORD PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER HEARING
EXAMINER'S RECOMMENDATION APPROVING A REZONE OF PROPERTY
AT 2324 SOUTH 1 STREET REQUESTED BY THOMAS PENCE
Dan Valoff, Acting Planning Manager, reported this is a closed record hearing for
a rezone requested by Thomas Pence for property located at 2324 South 1s St.
The request is to change the zoning from M1 to CBDS. He advised Council that
this is a non - specific rezone, desired because Mr. Pence owns property
contiguous to this parcel that is zoned CBDS. The Hearing Examiner and staff
recommend rezoning this property. Council members declared no ex -parte
contact, other than Mayor Place declaring she visited the site.

NOVEMBER 21, 2000
Closed record hearing is conducted
Mayor Place opened the closed record hearing. Stella Pence, 750 Lateral A Rd.,
Wapato, owner of the subject property, spoke in support of the rezone. She
commented that she believes an error must have occurred since the two
properties are contiguous, have been owned by the same people for the past 50
years and yet have different zoning classifications. There being no other citizen
present wishing to address this issue, Mayor Place closed the public hearing.
SIMS MOVED AND PUCCINELLI SECONDED TO APPROVE THE HEARING
EXAMINER'S RECOMMENDATION AND DIRECT STAFF TO PREPARE THE
APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION TO REZONE THE PROPERTY. The motion
carried by unanimous roll call vote.

interpretation of the Municipal Code by the Hearing Examiner relating to fence
height and set back on corner lots. The interpretation concerned a fence
constructed by Mr. and Mrs. Shawn Belton at 2801 Chestnut Avenue. The
Hearing Examiner conducted a public hearing and then affirmed the building
official's decision regarding the definition of front lot lines on corner lots. Council
members declared no ex -parte contact, other than Mayor Place declaring she
visited the fence.
Closed record public hearing is conducted
Shawn Belton, 2801 W. Chestnut, advised Council that they built the fence for
their security and the safety of their daughter. The fence was sited 28' from the
curb and situated so as not to obstruct any views enjoyed by the Floyds. There
being no other citizen present wishing to address this issue, the Mayor closed the
public hearing.

Comments on previous actions
Council Member Puccinelli asked if Council needs to adjourn to a study session
regarding the refuse pilot program? City Manager Zais replied that more time is
needed to do a full -scale study so it will be scheduled for next year.
City Manager Zais stated that with the passage of the re- enactment ordinances
in Item No. 23 and since 1 -745 failed and 1 -722 is in the courts, and the budget is
balanced with the property tax adjustment in place, he believes the budget may
be adopted without including any of the contingency reductions. Council Member
Sims stated that Council may want to review the proposed reductions in order to
set aside money to put into the Contingency Fund.
