ROLL CALL Present: Council: Mayor Mary Place, presiding, Council Members Clarence Barnett, Henry Beauchamp (present after 8:50 a.m.), Lynn Buchanan, Larry Mattson, John Puccinelli, and Bernard Sims Staff: City Manager Zais, Rita Anson, Director of Finance and Budget and City Clerk Roberts Council Member Barnett said that the Central Washington Home Builders Association has requested deferral of the item on permit fees. Council Member Sims agreed with the deferral commenting that they would not be enacted until April anyway. He requested a study session be held on this subject and consider tying these fees to the business license. Council Member Puccinelli said he would like to tie the study session in with the increased fees for fire inspection. PUCCINELLI MOVED AND BARNETT SECONDED TO DEFER THE ISSUE CONCERNING THE FIRE PLAN REVIEW AND $20 FEE FOR INSPECTIONS. BUCHANAN MOVED AND PUCCINELLI SECONDED TO AMEND THE MOTION TO JUST DENY THE FEE. There was a discussion trying to clarify the impacts of this motion. City Manager Zais advised that if the fees are withdrawn then the policy issue for the additional fire inspector and permit tech would also be withdrawn. Council Member Puccinelli said he thinks it is incorrect to use this fee to fund these positions. Council Member Buchanan feels it is a way to hire two people and charge it to the business people of the city. Council Member Mattson would like to see this item kept on the table for a study session so we could still be proactive. The question was called for a vote on the amended motion. The motion carried by a 5 -2 roll call vote; Mattson and Sims voting nay. The question was called for a vote on the motion to defer the fire plan review until after the first of the year. The motion carried by unanimous voice vote. 2.

Mr. Zais clarified that this money comes from the General Fund not from CBDG funds. Council. Member Beauchamp thinks helping the Salvation Army is a good idea but he opposes taking away from the Chamber because they have been a good partner with the City for a number of years and we do not want to unravel the coalitions we have. 1.

The motion carried by unanimous voice vote. Street Fund - unbudgeted $12,572 - Council Member Barnett noted the unfunded request would come out of the Street Fund and he is not convinced there are sufficient reserves to use this way. To clarify the unbudgeted request, Chris Waarvick, Director of Public Works, explained that because Council has requested looking into developing City crews with Municipal Court, they would hold off on notifying the County if this were passed. It is going to take quite a bit of thought to prepare a proposal using the Municipal Court inmates. So far the County has recognized the importance of the work crews and provided them at less than full cost. The unbudgeted amount is to cover that difference. The third crew would be at an amount to recover their full costs. He noted that this does have a time factor on it for passage as by late winter we need to know how we are going to address this as it also takes care of weed abatement. BUCHANAN MOVED AND SIMS SECONDED TO APPROVE THE REQUEST. The motion carried by unanimous voice vote. 6 386 DECEMBER 11, 2001 - ADJOURNED MEETING — BUDGET WRAP UP PUBLIC WORKS ADMINISTRATION 34.

Building Permit Fee Modification - Deferred 37. Fire Inspections and Plan Review - Deferred 38. Council Requested: Increase in Land Use Appeal Fees — General Fund - unbudgeted $90,540. Council Member Mattson spoke about his concerns with the appeal process and that it was his intent to make sure people filed a well thought out appeal. He feels that people always have the opportunity to appeal; if the cost is too high, they can get together with neighbors or request the fee be waived. Council Member Puccinelli is concerned that people would be discouraged to file a valid appeal if the fee is too high and then they won't get due process. It was recommended that if the cost was an issue with the appellant that they be given information on alternatives by the City staff. Doug Maples, Planning and Code Enforcement Manager, explained the fees proposed are the same as what is used at Yakima County. MATTSON MOVED AND SIMS SECONDED TO APPROVE THE REQUEST. The motion carried by 4 -3 roll call vote; Barnett, Beauchamp, and Puccinelli voting nay. TELECOMMUNICATIONS 39. Add 1 Community Production Assistant position to augment County programming — Yakima Co. Cable TV Franchise Fees - unbudgeted $35,800. SIMS MOVED AND BUCHANAN SECONDED TO APPROVE THE REQUEST. Randy Beehler, Telecommunications Manager, assured the Council that this request is not exclusively for the county but because their programming is now carried county -wide; the idea is to be able to cover more events that have a county -wide appeal. The question was called for a vote on the motion. The motion carried by unanimous voice vote. 7 DECEMBER 11, 2001 — ADJOURNED MEETING — BUDGET WRAP UP ENGINEERING Deferred PARKS AND RECREATION • 40. Research options for repair or alternate use of Washington Pool — Parks & Recreation Fund - unbudgeted $12,000. BUCHANAN MOVED AND SIMS SECONDED TO APPROVE THE REQUEST. The motion carried by unanimous voice vote. 42. Increase in fees and charges — Parks & Recreation Fund — unbudgeted revenue $48,000. Council Member Barnett requested this item be divided into two sections; a separate vote on the aquatic fees for Washington Pool and then the senior and disabled rate. a. Washington Pool — raising from current rate of $1.00 to $1.50 - Denise Nichols, Parks and Recreation Manager, noted that, in the past, they have offered a discounted rate to the Washington Pool swimmers. The Parks and Recreation Commission suggested that the fees needed to be leveled out within the aquatic program. The Council discussed this issue in detail with concern being expressed about children's ability to pay these fees. BARNETT MOVED AND BEAUCHAMP SECONDED TO MAINTAIN THE $1.00 DISCOUNTED RATE FOR WASHINGTON POOL. The motion carried by 4 -3 voice vote; Buchanan, Mattson, and Place voting nay. Council Member Mattson explained his vote saying he is aware of high maintenance costs coming up in this next year and he's concerned about the funding. b. Fee increase for senior and disabled — BARNETT MOVED AND PUCCINELLI SECONDED TO MAINTAIN THE CURRENT SENIOR AND DISABLED RATE. Mrs. Nichols again explained that the recommended increase was proposed by the Parks and Recreation Commission. The staff has been very liberal at who they allow to swim at a discounted rate. It was not just based on being 62 or 65 years of age. If your doctor said it's healthy for you to swim, they would get the discounted rate. The Commission was troubled by that and staff was troubled by having to implement a policy that was so loose. The question was called for a vote on the motion. The motion failed by 4 -3 roll call vote; Buchanan, Mattson, Place and Sims voting nay. Council Member Mattson commented that one of the things that happens when tax initiatives like the ones we've had come through, the subsidized programs come to the surface and the true costs of providing swimming, fire, and police protection comes out. This is not a backlash from these tax initiatives, it is revealing subsidies and how much is coming out of the general fund and is not attributed to the true user of the service. BARNETT MOVED AND PUCCINELLI SECONDED THAT WE MAINTAIN THE $1.25 RATE FOR THE DISABLED. The motion failed by 4 -3 roll call vote; Buchanan, Mattson, Place and Sims voting nay. There was further discussion about the impact of tax initiatives and the subsidizing of the pools. 8 388 DECEMBER 11, 2001 — ADJOURNED MEETING — BUDGET WRAP UP c. Remaining fee increases in Parks and Recreation — SIMS MOVED AND MATTSON SECONDED TO APPROVE ALL THE INCREASES IN THE PARKS AND RECREATION POLICY ISSUE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE DISCOUNTED RATE AT WASHINGTON POOL. After a short discussion about the fees at Fisher Golf Course, the motion carried by 4 -3 roll call vote; Barnett, Beauchamp and Puccinelli voting nay. CEMETERY 42. Fee increase for Cemetery funding - Cemetery Fund - unbudgeted $15,000. SIMS MOVED AND MATTSON SECONDED TO APPROVE THE REQUEST. The motion carried by unanimous roll call vote. STREET AND TRAFFIC OPERATIONS 43. Funding alternatives for surfacing unpaved streets. City Manager Zais explained this was a policy issue requested by Council Member Mattson with respect to establishing a funding program for surfacing unpaved streets. He indicated that if it was Council's determination to fund and repair the unpaved streets in the City, they would be built to Title 12 standards. Council Member Mattson had asked for a $100,000 start -up program. The cost of doing the surfacing to Title 12 standards would allow for only one block per year with $100,000. Mr. Zais related that two years ago the Council asked for a comprehensive study session on street funding. There was no recommendation made at that time. One of the key pieces of that funding mix was �/4% of real estate excise tax provided within the context of the Growth Management Act to apply towards this and other street maintenance needs. It requires voter approval. It is not a property tax, it is not a utility tax, it's a transaction tax that takes place on real estate sales. It would bring in about $350,000 annually and that will grow as annexations add to future transaction sales. That money would then be used to issue a bond for approximately $4 million. We would then divide that resource, $2 million for residential paving efforts and $2 million for other street maintenance needs and grind and overlay projects. It greatly enhances our matching funding capability to leverage state and federal funding. This tax doesn't require 60% voter approval, it requires a simple majority. The earliest we would recommend this be considered would be the September primary to avoid incurring special election costs. He also recommended that we work toward the formation of a Citizens Capitalization Committee. There was discussion on the impact of Title 12 standards on maintenance of existing streets. City Manager Zais reiterated the math, explaining that of the $4 million bond issue, $2 million would go to the residential paving program, $2 million more for the grind and overlay and improvements to other streets and has the potential of leveraging another $8 million in state and federal funding. A total of $10 million in leveraged financing and bond financing and $2 million in residential paving is the best value for the dollar out there. Mr. Zais commented that if Council agreed with the basic 9 389 DECEMBER 11, 2001 — ADJOURNED MEETING — BUDGET WRAP UP premise, then the Capital Improvement Committee should be formed first. The committee would then review the alternative in detail and come back to Council with formal legislation, if they concur to go forward on the ballot. MATTSON MOVED AND SIMS SECONDED TO APPROVE ALTERNATIVE 3. The motion carried by a 6 -0 roll call vote; Barnett asked to abstain. PUCCINELLI MOVED AND BEAUCHAMP SECONDED TO ALLOW BARNETT TO ABSTAIN. The motion carried by unanimous voice vote. MATTSON MOVED AND SIMS SECONDED TO DIRECT STAFF TO CREATE AN ONGOING CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT COMMITTEE, WHOSE FIRST TASK WILL BE TO REVIEW THE STREET PAVING ALTERNATIVE #3. The motion carried by unanimous voice vote. The Council recessed at 10:25 a.m. and returned to session at 10:40 a.m. A. DEPARTMENTAL PRESENTATIONS REGARDING 2002 BUDGET AMENDMENTS TO SERVICE SOUTH 72 AVENUE AND CONGDON ORCHARD AREAS • City Manager Zais speaks about the 72 Avenue Annexation City Manager Zais explained that the City needs to provide the services to the 72 Avenue annexation area through the new revenues that are going to be generated. That responsibility extends beyond our current service capabilities. The revenue from the property taxes won't be received for eighteen months. The other revenues from utility taxes, sales taxes, etc. take time as well. The law says until the property tax is generated and paid to the city, fire protection is left with the fire district to continue to serve the area. But code enforcement, police, animal control, and street maintenance are needed immediately. The annexation will become effective next month and we need to make adjustments in the budget process to add the services. Because we don't have the resources to do all that right now and the negotiations are not completed with the Fire District, we will have to use existing reserves in the General Fund to take care of those needs for awhile. The transit system also will need to have some adjustment in services. There are options to be reviewed with the Transit Committee that don't require immediate action. This is a phased policy issue; there will be more coming in subsequent years. Mr. Zais recommends Council approve the amendments to serve this area. Discussion ensued on: • The timing and recruiting effort needed before finalization of the annexation • Items such as available space in the police academy • The need to provide personnel for this area at the beginning of the year • The need to provide snow removal to the area Shelley Willson, Streets/Traffic Operations Manager, explained their policy issue for the annexation. Council Member Beauchamp expressed his desire that the services supplied to the newly annexed area would be no Tess than what they are receiving today. Mrs. Willson said. it would require a policy change to be able to handle snow needs to the level the County is currently doing them. 10 390 DECEMBER 11, 2001 — ADJOURNED MEETING — BUDGET WRAP UP Bill Cook, Director of Community and Economic Development, explained that the request for a code enforcement position for the 72 Avenue Annexation area is the result of the very high level of construction expected in that area. He said this position is not tied to a fee increase but is tied to the revenue that will be generated. The development community wanted to make sure the City was thinking ahead and would not diminish their ability to respond to development applications in the existing boundaries. BUCHANAN MOVED AND SIMS SECONDED TO APPROVE THE REQUESTED POLICY ISSUE FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. The motion carried by unanimous voice vote. SIMS MOVED AND PUCCINELLI SECONDED TO APPROVE THE ADDITION OF ONE CODE INSPECTOR. The motion carried by a 6 -1 voice vote; Barnett voting nay.
