Meeting Minutes
Attendance: Council Members: Micah Cawley, Kathy Coffey, Maureen Adkison
Staff: Dave Zabell, Randy Beehler
Discussion:
➢ Intergovernmental Agencies: Dave Zabell reviewed the 2010 Preliminary
Budget for the Intergovernmental Agency assessments, as these are not
discretionary; the 2010 Preliminary Budget figures were accepted as
presented. Staff proposed no funding for the Yakima Basin Storage Alliance
(Black Rock) in the 2010 budget due to an unfavorable federal environmental
report; committee agreed.
➢ The Committee had considerable discussion concerning Outside Agency
requests for funding. Management proposed a 1/3 reduction to Outside
Agency funding; the Budget Committee voted unanimously to recommend
to the full Council a 50% reduction for all funding to Outside Agencies.
➢ A new request for funding from State Fair Park for $75,000 was declined by
the committee due to awareness of other funding sources available to State
Fair Park. The Committee will recommend to the full Council to decline this
request for funding.
Next Meeting: TBD

Staff informed the Committee that the traffic calming study by Kitteleson & Associates is complete.
The BCNA has some disagreements with the findings and recommendations of the study but agree
that the majority of their concerns are addressed and the process should move forward. Staff is to
develop an implementation plan based on the recommendations of the study, neighborhood
comments by mid - October.
A ballot will be developed for neighborhood property owners to vote on whether they want traffic
calming; and, if so, are they willing to pay for traffic calming measures beyond what can be
implemented with the $50,000 set aside by the city. The ballot is to be sent out in November with
responses to be back within two weeks. The exact level of a passing vote has not yet been
determined but is expected to be in the range of 50% of a significant portion of the neighborhood.
Gary Forester informed the Committee of the BCNA's concurrence to the process.
The Committee voted unanimously to proceed with the process as outlined by the staff.
