with the City Manager to get a better understanding of the issues and how

5. Audience Participation
Alonzo Marquez, 613 North 3rd Street, spoke against closing the pools. He said he
does not believe the figures used to justify the closures and intimated that the
Council is biased against Hispanics and Blacks who live on the east side where two
pools are slated to be closed. He recommended a citizen's committee review the
issue prior to taking any action. Roger Coburn, YMCA Swim Team Coach, spoke
against closing Eisenhower pool and asked if it could remain open if it were funded
by private funds. Russell Montiero, and Melinda Denko also spoke against closing
Miller Pool and submitted a petition to keep it open.
Bill Lover, 2507 West Yakima Avenue, commented negatively on the Parks
Department budget and how it was presented and reviewed. Hector Franco, 815
North 28 Avenue, submitted a letter and expressed disappointment that, even with
four new City Council members, things haven't changed. He feels east Yakima is
not represented. He also spoke about his ideas of how CBDG money should be
spent.

PUBLIC HEARING
6. Public hearing regarding wastewater connection charges, connection fees and
monthly service charges and consideration of ordinances
Doug Mayo, Wastewater Manager, presented the recommendations supplied in
Council packet:
1. Adopt Option 1: a 50% reduction of the actual collection sub - element of the
Wastewater Connection Charge (WCC) for Zone 1 (inside City) to new
customers.
2a. Adjust the maximum parcel size utilized in calculating WCCs for single dwelling
units to 12,000 square feet.
2b. Adjust the maximum parcel size utilized in calculating WCCs for development
other than single dwelling units to the greater of 40,000 square feet or 110% of
the connected building footprint.
3. Waive the entire WCC for Zone 1 parcels that participate in new LIDs. They
would still be responsible for the LID charges.
4. Treat collection systems financed by governmental agencies within certain
census tracts on the same basis as a developer extension serving the area for
purposes of calculating waivers from a portion of the actual collection sub -
element of the WCC.
5. Clarify that the calculation of a WCC for parcels for which the CCRC has been
paid or that has participated in an LID but has yet to connect to the wastewater
system shall be credited with the current value of a single dwelling unit
connection.
6. In order to maintain revenue with subsidies, the adoption of a 2.5% rate
increase of in -city retail rates, service charge, and unit consumption charge.
Mr. Mayo also presented an alternative proposed by Council Member Bonlender,
who wanted a larger reduction (75 %) and to set an equal charge for single dwelling
units regardless of parcel size. His proposal would also delay a general rate
increase until after the end of the year in order to assess the revenue situation at
that time.
Staff comments with regard to Council Member Bonlender's proposal:
1) The larger reduction could be accommodated with the caveat that the rate
increase would have to be raised to 3.25% to maintain a revenue neutral situation
and allow us to continue construction to accommodate growth.
2) The equal charge for single dwelling units could be accommodated, although staff
feels it is fairer the way it is currently done.
3) Staff does not believe the rate delay is in the best interest of the community for
the growth of the community. It would cause a revenue default that would limit
our ability to accommodate growth in the future.
Discussion ensued on the impact of the options and how we got to where we are
today.
• Mayor George opened the public hearing

MAY 3, 2005
Katrina Vickers, 904 South 7th Avenue, gave a recap of her situation. In November
2004 she was quoted $3,700 to hook up to an existing sewer stub. When she
checked February 17, 2005 she was advised it would cost $13,682. It was explained
that if the Council were to accept Option 1, her hook up charge would drop to
approximately $6,500. Under Mr. Bonlender's proposal it would drop to about
$4,500. Discussion continued on the potential of honoring the original quote.
Joe Walsh, from Central Washington Home Builders, said they felt Option 1 was the
best choice prior to having heard about the proposal from Council Member
Bonlender. He did comment on the complexity of the WCC calculations and
provided a couple examples to the City Clerk to simplify it and encouraged the
Council to look into them.
Doug Rich, a broker with Prestige Realty, advised that he researched all new
construction closings in 2004 to figure out where the people are coming from and
four out of five are moving from within Yakima. He then proceeded to discuss the
gap between incomes and the cost of homes in upper Yakima County and the
impacts of increased construction costs such as sewer connections.
Mike Nixon, Executive Director for Habitat for Humanity, urged Council to continue to
fine tune the connection fee issue. He gave an example of the impact to their
families. As the WCC fee goes up it ultimately affects the number of homes that
might be able to qualify.
Larry Loveless relayed a similar story about the huge increase from December to
now. His neighbor paid $2,200 in 1990 to hook up and yet he will be expected to
pay $11,500 to hook up. He recommends cutting the connection costs by 100% and
increasing the individual rates by 4 %. He doesn't feel that new growth should be
taken care of entirely by the development community.
Following a short recess, the meeting resumed at 4:10 p.m.
Bertin Martinez, speaking through an interpreter, had questions regarding hook up
charges for his property at 1508 South 1 Street. He was referred to the Permit
Center for research on the issue.
Dave Ranger, Mountain States Construction Company (Sunnyside), reviewed what
he has been experiencing while working with a local firm and trying to keep them in
town. They received a $170,000 charge for a 20- bathroom facility. Costs like this
will keep new businesses from coming to town. He referred to the fact that
community citizens receive the benefits of having new businesses in town, so it's not
inappropriate to share the costs of new development. The proposed option would
lower the assessment to around $78,000. Although that is still high, the owner is
willing pay it. He pointed out that, with regard to future development, the City needs
to meet people halfway, especially large manufacturing. Doug Mayo confirmed that
this situation is one of the reasons that item 2b was put in the proposal.
Chris Ness, a realtor, commented that everything we do to increase the cost of
developing a lot increases the cost of housing. The development industry and
banking are making it easier for people to get into new homes. It was his opinion
that buyers are motivated to be nickel and dimed each month rather than facing
huge up front costs.

MAY 3, 2005
Bill Cobabe, Office of Neighborhood Development Manager, spoke on behalf of the
elderly and low- income citizens in Yakima. He said there are hundreds of them that
are still on wells and septic tanks and this decision will really impact them. He urged
Council to keep them in mind as well.
• Mayor George closed the public hearing.
Council Member Sims said he would like more information on the impact this
decision would have on businesses before making a decision. Council Member Edler
suggested adopting the ordinance for Option 1 and revise it as necessary as
questions become answered. The City Clerk read ordinance A by title only; EDLER
MOVED AND McCLURE SECONDED TO PASS THE ORDINANCE. Council
Members Place and Bonlender agreed with the suggestion of studying the issue
further prior to adopting the change. Council Member Bonlender moved to
amend the motion to his original proposal, increasing the reduction to 75%
and no fee increase. The motion died for lack of a second. The motion failed by a
4 -3 vote; Place, Sims, Whitman and Bonlender voting nay. BONLENDER MOVED
AND PLACE SECONDED TO STUDY THE ISSUE FURTHER WITHIN THIRTY
DAYS. Council Member Edler commented that we will have the same discussion
already held and, in his opinion, it is a poor use of time and leadership. He said staff
has worked hard to present a solution to get us moving, and we just had the
discussion you are now asking for. Mayor George advised that, in two weeks at the
next Council meeting, someone who voted on the prevailing side, can ask for
reconsideration allowing for an opportunity to discuss it again. Council Member
McClure agreed with Edler that we will end up having the same discussion but
without community input. Mr. Mayo commented that no matter what we do
somebody won't like it as anything we change favors one situation and works
against the other. The question was called for a vote on the motion. The motion
carried by a 4 -2 roll call vote, Edler and McClure voting nay; Sims absent (after 4:55
p.m.)

MAY 3, 2005
An Ordinance amending the 2005 budget and appropriating funds for an Interim
Director for downtown development, was read by title only, and laid on the table until
May 17, 2005 for a second reading.
9. Consideration of Resolution authorizing execution of professional services
agreement with Huibregtse, Louman Associates for design services regarding
demolition of Miller Pool and construction of basketball courts in its place
Chris Waarvick, Director of Public Works, explained this is the result of the decision
to demolish Miller pool and two out buildings and to build basketball facilities.
Karen Allen and Debbie Wadleigh spoke about efforts being taken for free bus
service to get to the other pools. The public will be advised through the program
guide, posted signs, and radio and television public service announcements.
Bev Luby Bartz, 114 North 7 Street, requested Council consider not destroying
Miller pool as it is still needed in the area. She said private money is available and
private people are willing to operate it if the City would cooperate with the
community.
Cecilia Arroya and Jocelyn Hernandez strongly opposed the closing of Miller pool
and said they assisted in obtaining over 2,000 signatures on a petition against it.
Mary Hernandez 1212 South 14 Avenue, commended the young people for being
engaged in our political process. She urged the Council to reconsider the decision
to close the pools.
Lynne Kittelson, 305 North 9 Street, referenced a book she is reading that states
that every action we as adults take, we should ask if it is good for the children.
Maud Scott, southeast Yakima, said she is saddened that this Council is so quick to
pass this kind of a death sentence on a needed asset in northeast Yakima. All kids
need to swim. She said they need a neighborhood with amenities and suggested the
Council needed to rethink their decision.
A young man who lives at 1607 South 16 Avenue said he is against Miller pool
being destroyed and suggested Council was losing sight of what the purpose pools
really serve. He asked if this was only a money problem.
Council Member Edler thanked the young folks for their efforts and expressing their
feelings. He said he has been discouraged from the comments made today as he
had been labeled some things he passionately fights against, one being a racist. He
told the audience that he is a pastor of a multi- ethnic church, has a multi- ethnic
family and takes great offense at being called a racist. He commented that it is
interesting that we would be fighting for a 50- year -old pool that looks like a 50 year
old pool. Standing in the way of progress that would replace the 50- year -old pool
with something that would greatly enhance and build that community is the wrong
approach. He said he is committed to seeing this community retooled and that
neighborhood, and every neighborhood, having something that is modern and good.
This will begin by taking 50 year old antiques, closing them and replacing them with
things that will truly enhance the community. The City Clerk read the resolution by
title only, EDLER MOVED AND PLACE SECONDED TO ADOPT THE
RESOLUTION. Council Member McClure commented that everyone knows the
easy choice but that wouldn't be a choice for our future. He asked that, regardless of
7
1.3 :5
MAY 3, 2005
the vote today, citizens keep holding our toes to the fire. He also countered the
claims that this decision was made quietly and in secret as he distinctly remembered
Council getting "beat up" over it a month ago when the initial vote was taken. He
reminded the public that this decision is not to take any money out of parks, but to
supply modern tools to make them a better place. Council Member Bonlender said
he initially voted against closing the pools because of the timing. He felt the issue
should have been discussed in the fall rather than just prior to the pool openings.
The question was called for a vote on the motion. The motion carried by a 5 -1
roll call vote; Bonlender voting nay, Sims absent.
Chris Waarvick, Director of Public Works, extended an offer to those who came to
speak against the pool closure to meet with them to show why the decision was so
hard and the dilemmas that were faced. He also offered to go to the schools and
explain the process if they were interested. He stated that you don't always win, but
hopefully, they can come out with a better understanding.
RESOLUTION NO. R- 2005 -67, A RESOLUTION authorizing and directing the City
Manager to execute a professional services agreement between the City of Yakima
and Huibregtse, Louman Associates, Inc. for professional engineering services
related to the removal of Miller Park pool and the construction of a basketball court
area in its place.
10. Consideration of Resolutions regarding submittal of Public Works Trust Fund
loan applications for:
*A. Wastewater facility improvements
RESOLUTION NO. R- 2005 -68, A RESOLUTION authorizing the City Manager to

*B. Design and construction of new well to replace the Ranney Well
RESOLUTION NO. R- 2005 -69, A RESOLUTION to authorize the. City Manager to

the replacement of the City of Yakima's Ranney Well, and, if the loan application is
approved, to execute all necessary certifications, agreements and other documents
to complete the loan transaction.
C. "B" Street and Lincoln Avenue Railroad grade separations project
Council Member McClure asked about the timing of borrowing money on this project.
City Manager Zais explained this is the appropriate time to apply for the Public Trust
Fund loan as this is the window when the maximum amount is available. He
explained that we're going to need to have some additional cash flow capability with
this size of a project and the federal and state monies are reimbursable dollars. If
we need the funds, we can draw them down quickly. We have up to $12 million
approval authority this year. This is not new money to help support the funding
shortfall that exists, it will only help with cash flow. We are still seeking other dollars.
The City Clerk read the resolution by title only; MCCLURE MOVED AND EDLER
SECONDED TO ADOPT THE RESOLUTION. The motion carried by unanimous roll
call vote; Sims absent.

ORDINANCES
16. Consideration of Ordinance amending the Yakima Municipal Code to authorize
certain "open cruising" events on Yakima Avenue and establishing a process
to arrange future "open cruising" events
Council Member Bonlender questioned the way the ordinance was written and
suggested that the process be for permits to be issued at the City Clerks office
rather than having to go to the police station. Cynthia Martinez, Senior Assistant
Attorney, explained the process as written in the ordinance. Discussion covered
various suggested methods of obtaining permits and the cruising idea overall.
Council Member McClure reacted to how complicated this issue has become ( "It has
morphed into a monster "). McCLURE MOVED AND BONLENDER SECONDED TO
HAVE THREE OPEN CRUISING NIGHTS; IN JUNE (THE FIRST WEEKEND OF
SUMMER), IN JULY (FOR THE LOWRIDERS), AND IN AUGUST (FOR THE
VINTIQUES). City Manager Zais advised this will require an ordinance. Discussion
continued on modifying the proposed ordinance with suggestions to keep section 2
(except for the last line) and delete all other sections. Section 7 would also be kept.
The ordinance would just state the first weekend of summer, the weekend of July 9th
and first weekend of August. Having the definite dates would give the public notice.
