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. 2 1 5. 2 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. PUBLIC HEARINGS 6.

PUBLIC HEARING ON VACATION OF RIGHT -OF -WAY IN THE VICINITY OF 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.

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.

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. 9 159 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. 10 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 The acting City Clerk read the resolution; BUCHANAN MOVED AND PUCCINELLI SECONDED TO ADOPT THE RESOLUTION. The motion carried by unanimous roll call vote. RESOLUTION NO. R- 2001 -58, A RESOLUTION concerning annexation, and 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.
