5. AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION
Mike Kennard, owner of the Yakima Beauty School located in the old Howard
House at 602 North 1 Street, relayed what he described as a very unsettling
experience as a businessman. He said a disgruntled student's father wrote a letter
to the Department of Licensing and included untruths which resulted in six agencies
coming into his school. The City's building and fire code enforcement inspector
came in unannounced bringing with her Victor Stein from the Department of Labor
and Industries, and demanded his manager accompany them on an inspection
tour of the facility. Mr. Stein walked right into a room on the second level where
there was no floor and fell through the lath and plaster wedging himself on the floor
joist. The door to that room had been signed telling everyone to keep out and in
fact was blocked by furniture. Mr. Kennard thought it important for Council to be
aware of how this situation was handled. The person who caused the damage has
not bothered to apologize, has not bothered to clean it up, nor done anything to
alleviate the disruption, although he did receive a letter from this inspector advising
him that he should have had a Class review done for his business. When he
checked into that he was told that because the business is in a CBDS zone, a
Class 1 review was not required. He said to have a public official on official
stationery tell him that he has to do something, it should be accurate or he would be
wasting time and money. In addition to being advised to file a damage claim on this
incident, Council also said the issue would be looked into further.

MARCH 20, 2001
• FEMA Representative speaks regarding funds for earthquake damage
Mike Jurnak with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and
Rosita Bigalow with their Community Relations, advised that Yakima County was
declared an emergency due to the recent earthquake allowing people to make
declarations for individual, family, and business damages. They encouraged
people to look at their buildings, walls, chimneys, and floors. Mr. Jurnak advised
that people can register by phone. He left flyers and will have some posted
throughout the community.
• Citizen comments about City services
Wiley Mills, 1716 North Yakima Avenue, gave his opinion on being a general
contractor and dealing with the Building and Code Enforcement Department of
the City of Yakima. He feels they continually put up roadblocks.
Ron Campbell, 1907 Boggess Lane, brought the condition of his road to
Council's attention. He said as a result of building construction, Boggess Lane is
nearly impassable. He also wanted to advise Council that he saw one of the
City's inspectors running a backhoe for at least an hour at the construction site.
Elsie Gregorich, 1516 Brown Avenue, said she has lived in Yakima for 73 years
and believes that Yakima is basically alive and well and will stay that way in spite
of all the problems. She advised everyone to take heart because Yakima will get
back to where it should be.

MAVIS AND KNOBLE STREETS REQUESTED BY LIVING CARE CENTERS
(CONTINUED TO APRIL 17, 2001)
• Staff reviews vacation request
Dan Valoff, Associate Planner, described the public hearing on the compensation
issue regarding the vacation of Mavis Avenue and Knoble Street by Living Care
Centers. On September 14, 2000 a closed record hearing was conducted by Council
on the Hearing Examiner's recommendation on the vacation request. At that hearing
Council voted to remand the issue to the Hearing Examiner to consider the issue of
compensation, the amount of money that the Living Care Center would be required
to pay for the vacated right -of -way. On December 14, 2000 the Hearing Examiner
conducted the public hearing with the primary focus on the compensation. On
February 22, 2001 the Hearing Examiner rendered an amended recommendation to
the City Council that Living Care Center pay the City $74,500 for the vacated public
right -of -way for those portions of Knoble Street and Mavis Avenue. The Hearing
Examiner based this amount on the appraisal submitted by Living Care Center. The
resolution regarding compensation on vacated rights -of -way says that the City gets
50% of the appraised value. Council Member Sims asked if the attorney was going
to contest this price and was told that yes he is. At the request of the applicant they
would like to have the hearing continued to April 17, 2001.
• Public hearing is opened for comments
Mayor Place opened the public hearing.
No one came forward to speak for or against this issue.

CITY MANAGER'S REPORTS
8. CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION CONDEMNING RACIAL PROFILING
Police Chief Blesio described the activities leading up to this resolution. In
October of 2000 the Council appointed a three - member panel to investigate
allegations of discriminatory practices towards Hispanic persons, including racial
profiling, by the Yakima Police Department. The panel expanded its inquiry to
include all minorities in the community.
• Chief Blesio reviews the Inquiry Panel's report
In a report dated February 12, 2001 the inquiry panel released its findings and
recommendations. The panel concluded that there is a perception within the
minority community that the Yakima police officers engage in racial profiling.
However, the panel wrote: "We are unable to find that the Yakima Police
Department intentionally engages in a widespread practice of racial profiling or
discriminatory action. We believe that the Police Department does not teach or
condone such conduct and condemns it."
• Chief Blesio gives review of the Inquiry Panel's recommendations
The panel did recommend that the City Council affirm the City's commitment to
law enforcement procedures that are fair, equitable, and constitutional and that
the City Council should develop and adopt a resolution affirming the rights of all
people, that they be treated equally, condemning the perceived practice of racial
profiling and directing the police department to implement appropriate policies
and training to prevent such practices from occurring. This resolution is the first
formal step and will be followed by additional recommendations and actions by
the City Council's special committee and the Yakima Police Department:

A. 2001 WATER YEAR UPDATE
Dueane Calvin, Water and Irrigation District Manager, discussed the drought
problems this year, He told how members of the Governor's staff, and several
others from water resource management agencies, met throughout the Yakima
River Basin discussing water for agriculture and municipal interests and
individual interests. Council Member Sims and Mr. Calvin attended a panel
forum on March 14, 2001 that reaffirmed the Governor's proclamation of a
statewide drought. The proclamation does three things:
• Authorizes the Department of Ecology to issue temporary and emergency
permits on water rights transfers so that water can be moved back and forth
between entities.
• Potentially permits the emergency wells drilled in 1977 and 1994 to be
reactivated.

MARCH 20, 2001
• Frees up approximately $5.1 million in the drought fund administered by the
Department of Ecology. The Department of Agriculture also has a drought
funds that we may access.
Our energy costs this year for the domestic system are expected to be in excess
of $150,000 above our normal experience, based on today's energy costs,
because the wells will operate from approximately April 1 to October 1 In fact,
the energy costs may escalate because the State of Washington is facing a lack
of water and cannot generate hydro -power without water. The forecast,is for
38 % -of- normal for stored water. Mr. Calvin said that at this point they believe
there will be a full supply of water for all direct flow rights. However, if
circumstances deteriorate there could be a problem. Although the City has
fairly senior water rights for both the domestic and the irrigation, it is not the
most senior in the valley with the Bureau of Reclamation for contract water;
• therefore the contract water could be reduced. Several options are being
explored to better position the City of Yakima. The goal is to preach
conservation. The City would be asked to be a leader in that process and that
may mean that some of the city parks will not be as green this year.
Council Member Barnett said he thought there was a rule that if you conserve
water you lose your water rights. He asked if this proclamation negates that?
Mr. Calvin answered that the drought proclamation sets that aside. Conserved
water has to be conserved in excess of five years before it becomes
relinquished or abandoned. Council Member Barnett asked if the irrigation
season would be delayed and Mr. Calvin said that staff is recommending a delay
until April 16 to start the irrigation system. Mayor Place asked if we had spoken
with Nob Hill Water as about a third of our citizens are on the Nob Hill water
system. Mr. Calvin said because Nob Hill water is mostly ground water he is not
sure that it is a significant problem for them but it will be if the City of Yakima
calls upon them to activate the inter -ties that we have with them. There was
discussion about how 38 % -of- normal stored water was calculated and how this
is the worst in history. The potential for it to decline even further is very real.
B. CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION INITIATING THE CONGDON
ORCHARDS ANNEXATION
• City Manager gives information on the proposed annexation
City Manager Zais said this subject has been under discussion for many years.
After a meeting last Friday, he, Bill Cook and congden Orchard representatives
concluded the discussions with a recommendation to initiate the annexation with
council Action today. This will enable negotiations to occur on an administrative
level, to develop a memorandum of understanding. The area is approximately
911 acres including 76 tax parcels worth over $16 million and has a population of
140. The Congdon family interests have engaged a professional planning firm,
engineering, and legal services to plan for a 25 -year build -out of this property.
They bring significant resources to the City, however, in order for that to happen
this will have to be a cooperative venture between the City and other federal and
state agencies to fund necessary infrastructure. The same is true for the utilities
that will be needed for providing residential and business services in this area.

1 V O MARCH 20, 2001
• Congdon Orchards representatives speak out about annexation
Dick Wooden, President and General Manger of Congdon Orchards, said they
have known for a number of years that the Congdon property would ultimately
become part of the city of Yakima. They believe the time is right and it is in the
best interest of both the Congdon family and the City of Yakima to move forward
with this annexation at this time.
Ken Harper, an attorney with Halverson and Applegate representing Congdon,
said they are excited about working with the City. He said there will be more
meetings necessary to bring the proposed annexation to completion but it looks
like the interests of Congdon and the City are on parallel tracks.
Council Member Barnett asked about the timing and wanted to be sure this
annexation would go before the Joint Board. Doug Maples, City Code
Administration Manager assured him it would
• Resolution adopted

accepting the proposed Congdon Annexation by the petition method of
annexation authorized by RCW 35.13.125 -.160.
Both petitions will be put in before the boundary review board .
• Council changes location of study sessions
Council Member Buchanan brought up the issue of moving the location of the
7:30 a.m. study sessions from the Police /Legal Center to Council Chambers in
City Hall. Because this would free up that training classroom as well as utilize
the existing video and audio equipment in Council Chambers, it was the
consensus of Council to support that move. Mayor Place suggested that the
words "Study Session" be printed on the television screen so the citizens will be
able to tell the difference between regular Council meetings and study sessions.
• Miscellaneous business announcements are made
Mayor Place announced that AWC has put out a call for people to be on the
resolutions committee. Since no Council member volunteered, Mayor Place said
she would submit her name in order to have some representation from the east
side of the mountains.
City Manager Zaissaid there has been a change in dates for the study sessions.
The March 27th meeting has been moved to April 3 Therefore, the original
subject for the April 3rd meeting will be moved to April 10`
