AUGUST 23, 1961
The City Council met in regular session, Assistant Mayor Larson presiding. Councilman Barber,
Keith, Lemon, Maxwell and Robinson, City Manager Smith and City Attorney Arntson present on roll
call. Mayor Bostic absent and excused.
The invocation was given by City Manager Smith.
The minutes of the regular meeting of August 16, 1961 were approved as read.
Mr. Robert J. Reed of Gammie -Reed Company and Mr. Frank Glaspey of the Yakima Lumber and Box Co.,
being the only citizens in attendance, Assistant Mayor Larson deviated from the agenda and
called on Mr. Reed who introduced Mr. Frank Glaspey. Mr. Glaspey explained that he has ap "plied
to the City of Yakima for an 8" Fire Connection to take the place of a 6" line now on his
property outside the city limits and that he wishes to register a protest on paragraph numbered
1 in the agreement now being used by the City of Yakima for hookups outside the city for water
and sewer, because he is afraid that his operations will be considered as non - conforming use
as the area builds up and annexes to the City. Paragraph 1 of said agreement which refers to
Land Use in connection with the City's Comprehensive Plan, was read by the Clerk of the Council
and discussed with Mr. Glaspey. It was established that if city services are extended outside of
the city there will be little reason for annexing and while the Council wishes to encourage
Mr. Reed and Mr. Glaspey's enterprises they must consider this matter.on the basis of what is
best for the City of Yakima. ManagerSmith recommended the retention of this paragraph. City
Attorney Arntson reviewed the state statue on this matter. Mr. Glaspey also registered a protes
to the last paragraph of the same agreement which states that the signer will agree to sign any
petition leading to future annexations of his property. He.stated that he feels that this re-
quirement is unreasonable and unrealistic and that he does not wish to commit himself on the
matter of annexation at this time. After discussion Assistant Mayer Larson explained that the
Council does not wish to be arbitrary in the matter but they must consider this matter with the
best interests of the City of Yakima in mind and,that a change in this agreement could not be
made without first changing the resolution authorizing such an agreement. It was MOVED by
Barber, seconded by Keith that the agreement now in use in accordance with Resolution No. C -1423,
be left as is: carried, Barber, Keith, Larson, arid-= Lemon - voting aye by voice vote.
