Audience Participation A. Special Presentation from Blacks In Government, Region 10 Representatives from Blacks In Government, Region 10, requested assistance from the City to help offset any possible financial repercussions that may occur in the form of reduced attendance at their conference, due to a racially based comment made by Senator Deccio (who represents this area). The conference is scheduled at the Yakima Convention Center in May. They are considering changing the location to another city, but the contract they have signed has a 100% default penalty. Oscar Eason, Jr., Chair of Region 10, gave a brief background on their organization which is comprised of black employees in city, county, state and federal government. Their concern is that with the potential of a reduced number of attendees they would not be able to break even. If they elect to hold the conference in Yakima, they would host a Town Hall Meeting, open to everyone, to take testimony on civil rights and equal opportunities. They would then summarize the testimony and issue a report for the City's benefit. He stated that they will come to Yakima if the City Council could assist them. Charlie Hampton, Regional Council President for Region 10, and Charles Oliver, a National Board Member, also spoke on the issue. Mr. Oliver advised that they are holding a Regional Training Conference this weekend at which time they will make the final decision on whether to hold the conference in Yakima or not. After discussion, Mayor George committed to exploring options to help them reduce costs or increase attendance and to provide assistance for a Town Hall Meeting. Mayor George gave tribute to Oscar Soderstrom, a former Police Chief, who passed away February 14 Clarence Barnett, asked if citizens would be allowed to speak at Council Study Sessions. Mayor George advised him that Council would allow citizen comments as time permits. Maud Scott, Southeast Yakima, asked for an update on the status of selling bonds for the irrigation project and on the project itself. She was told that the bonds are scheduled to be sold on March 15 Dave Brown, Water & Irrigation Manager, gave a brief update on the project. Mrs. Scott also asked if Council would hold another meeting on the proposed ordinance for boarded up structures beyond the March 2nd date, as it is not convenient for some of the people she has spoken with. Mayor George advised that Council anticipates holding more than one public meeting on the subject. Mary McDaniels, 905 Walker Street, spoke in support of Region 10, Blacks in Government, coming to Yakima for their Conference. She also suggested that maybe a local organization or association could organize a social event that would bring in money for the organization. Robert Owen, 614 North 3 Street, stated his displeasure at the resumption of an invocation at the Council meetings. 2 147. FEBRUARY 17, 2004 PUBLIC HEARINGS 6.

Consideration of Legislation regarding Outside Utility Agreements and Annexation Policies: A. Motion to rescind administrative hold on processing Outside Utility Agreements for petition annexations City Manager Zais gave the history of this subject: ➢ Petition annexation policy established in 1965 ➢ March 26, 2002 the Supreme Court issued decision determining the petition method of annexation was unconstitutional. The City appealed. ➢ The City adopted an administrative hold on the provision of utility services until such time as there was a reconsideration, although there were some exceptions allowed. ➢ Last month the Supreme Court unanimously reversed their decision. It is now recommended to rescind the administrative hold thus clearing the way to return to using the petition method of annexation to continue to grow and serve the urban area. Mr. Zais advised it is not just a motion, but based on the court rulings, the utilities Outside Agreement has been rewritten. There is also a resolution that affirms and restates the City's annexation policy last adopted in 2001.

Mr. Maples introduced Ryan Hopkins, Yakima County Planner. Mr. Hopkins gave a short report advising they plan to update the critical areas ordinance and shoreline plan together. A lot of the towns and cities don't have the money to go through the update process so the County is hoping to help support them. One of the benefits will be a consistent set of land use standards in the public development community and local agencies.

The study will ensure we are charging the proper fees. It will also take into consideration the long range forecast, capital improvements, operations and maintenance costs, and then design a rate structure to apply costs correctly to customers to generate the revenue needed. City Manager Zais explained that for three decades the Clean Water Act requires us, as a condition for accepting grant funds, to perform biennial cost -of- service studies.

Consideration of Resolution authorizing execution settlement agreement with Apollo Construction Council Member Edler removed this item from the consent agenda because he felt it was important to communicate with the community how litigation issues are being handled. 6 15.1 FEBRUARY 17, 2004 Robert Boggs, 60 Harrison Road in Selah and the City's Counsel on the case, gave a brief overview. The issue was additional costs the contractor experienced and wanted reimbursed. The two main concerns were different interpretations of what unsuitable soils were and unforeseen utilities they ran into. Mediation was handled with their attorney in Seattle. They had originally asked for over $400,000 additional payment. After mediation and risk analysis, the final settlement was $104,000. An item of consideration in the settlement was the fact that the combined cost of the original contract and the final settlement amount was still less than the second lowest bid, therefore, the City was still well within the parameters.

Report and legislation from Finance, Legal and Police re: Taxicab rate increase request: A. Ordinance increasing the rates for taxicab services Assistant City Attorney, Jeff West, gave a staff report recommending the proposed ordinance in response to a request by taxicab owners.

The City Clerk read the resolution by title only; PLACE MOVED AND MCCLURE SECONDED TO PASS THE ORDINANCE.

B. Ordinance increasing the number of allowable traffic infractions for taxicab drivers from three in five years to four in three years PLACED MOVED AND McCLURE TO NOT CONSIDER THE ORDINANCE. Lowell Felitz, representing Black and White Taxicab, pointed out that no other private citizens or organization has this restriction, not even bus drivers, Dial -A -Ride drivers, or the police. He claimed that the previous City Council would not consider the type of violation or whether it was received while working or not. He requested that Council at least consider reducing the length from five to three years. In response to questions about when licenses are revoked, Mr. West said with twenty moving violations in five years or three major hits (criminal traffic violation) within five years and you become a "habitual traffic offender" and lose your license for seven years. He also noted that this ordinance was amended in 1996 to allow the Council to review an individual's driving record and determine, on an individual circumstance, whether or not this restriction is a hardship. Therefore, there is an avenue of recourse. Council Member Place withdrew her motion to not consider the ordinance. EDLER MOVED AND BONLENDER SECONDED TO PASS THE ORDINANCE. Council Member McClure commented that because the City establishes rates and infraction controls it should be at a higher standard. The motion failed by a 3 to 3 roll call vote; McClure, Place and Whitman voting nay.

He referred to a comment made by George Pechtal suggesting a City staff member could be the focal point of the project to get the downtown area moving again. City Manager Zais explained that we have periodically tried to use staff support but because of commitments to other duties it is hard for them to have a concentrated effort. They may also not have the breadth of experience that would be required. He pointed out that YDA needs to prepare a careful, detailed request- for - proposal with specific tasks, expectations, and outcomes to bring to the City enabling us to solicit and look for resources. The City will continue to provide staff support and do things to help reduce the cost. The ball is in both YDA's and the City's court. Council Member Place commented that YDA had asked the City to recommend how far to extend the current 16 block downtown area. She also suggested looking at other determinations for assessments rather than number of employees. City Manager Zais also clarified the issue of train underpasses from the earlier meeting. He said through the public process we narrowed the field to the two options currently being looked at. As a general plan the other options still exist but are out thirty plus years before they would be looked at again. • Information Items: Items of information provided to Council were: 2/12/04 Faxed letter from U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell transmitting her 2/11/04 Press Release regarding unemployment benefits for America's dislocated workers; 2/10/04 E -mail from AWC re: Emergency Management 101 • Workshops; 1/26/04 Letter from State Military Department re: National Guard's Deployment Community Action Team sessions; Planning Assignments Pending as of the Week of February 17; Hanford Site Solid Waste Program Final Environmental Impact Statement Fact Sheet, 2004; February 2004 Yakima Valley Conference of Governments Newsletter; Agenda for the February 18, 2004 Conference of Governments Executive Committee meeting and minutes of its January 21, 2004 meeting and the January 21, 2004 minutes of the MPO /RTPO meeting; Washington Court of Appeals Division 11 Opinion Information Sheet re: City of Tacoma v.
