Mr. Ben Mumaw, Plumbing Contractor and property owner in the newly annexed area located east of
38th Avenue between Tieton Drive and Walnut Street, being present, protested the operation of the
new Eden House Nursing Home on Tieton drive, stating that there is an open sewer on this property,
and questioned the City's right to allow this firm to operate without bringing their plumbing up
to code specifications As all other city residents and businesses must do. Mr. Mumaw stated that
if this situation is not corrected he will institue court suit. The Council informally requested
the City Manager to make a report on this matter and to advise the Council what legal authority
the city has in these matters in newly annexed areas.
Councilman Kurbitz requested information on the progress of the construction of an access'on to
East Yakima Avenue through the fence built by the State Highway Department in connection with the
By -Pass Highway. Manager Smith reported that arproval of our plan has not been received from the
State. Councilman 'Robinson reported that he has received information from Hans Scov, contractor
for the bridges, which made it doubtful if this access will b-e allowed for a very long period of
time, since the Terrace Heights traffic is to use an over -pass at this point and he suggested that
the Manager and staff consider the formation of a local improvement district to
as a solution to this problem.
Manager Smith reported that Police Chief Oscar Soderstr.om has requested approval for Police
Officer John Jenkins to attend school in Los Angeles the first week in September with expenses
paid. Manager Smith recommended that this request be granted. MOVED by Robinson, seconded by
