. they stated the.angle,parking is a separate issue and each of them
. prefer to see-it dealt with as such.' ,Council member ,Carmichael
expressed concern about taking action on this issue today because
the, reports from the consultants regarding the traffic and parking
for the Central Business District. are • still pending,. Mrs.
Carmichael stated she would like to wait until these reports have
been presented to Council because mistakes have been made in the
past and she does not want this to happen again. She pointed out
that the downtown merchants have had the opportunity of seeing the
consultant's_report on the CBD area, however, the Council has not
seen these:reports yet, and she does not want to make a decision on
this until. Council has reviewed the reports and, recommendations so
that everything can be dealt with at one time. Mayor' Berndt
inquired.;of_City Manager Zais as to when these reports might be
;- :.presented. to Council and he responded:this is scheduled' to take
place in about three.weeks, with a public hearing to_ follow on
October .4th and possible adoption of the plan on October : 18th or

the construction of a second floor walkway approximately 150 feet
in length.on „the front of the buildings over Yakima Avenue between
3rd Street and 4th Street at--the request of all of the property
owners, there.. He: asked if Council does not deal with the mid -
• block crosswalks. the sidewalks,., how will: that impact this
second. floor walkway project? Mr. Royal interjected the . .mid -block
.crosswalk will interfere with the .proposed walkway construction
,.project.. He. stated he attended all of the study sessions
,;,held by the conslutant for the. purpose of reviewing the proposed
changes for -. the CBD, and. commented that the . second. floor walkway
'
is compatible :,with the basic, plans for ; the. Central Business
District..Mr. Royal stated, as a merchant,-. he cannot stand by and
allow the .downtown .area to be torn up..during the prime. shopping
season, and this is -what will, happen if Council waits until they
have reviewed the consultants plans prior to, approving the retiming
. of the traffic lights and removing the mid block crosswalks on
Yakima, Avenue. Royal; added that drafts of _the consultant's
. , .plans are available for Council to reviewiif they would like to do
.so. He stated ,the: concepts of the final draft will remain the
. same, , that they are-merely fine tuning. the language of draft prior .
to its-submission to::the City Council., It was MOVED by Foy,

just taken. Council member Buchanan'pointed out that the parking
issue has yet to be reviewed by Council.
7. -CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION REGARDING HAZARDOUS VEGETATION AND
DEBRIS ABATEMENT PROGRAM
•
Code Manager Shampine'stated he has nothing to add to the report
and knows of no one present to address the issue. Council member
Foy asked if Mr. Shampine could assure him that all of the City
- lots have been cleared of weeds and Mr. Shampine stated he would
not bet _ a month's paycheck on this, but he felt safe in
saying, "Yes, they have been cleaned up." Council member Foy
stated he- received two phone calls on.the 4th of July weekend
regarding the City owned lot at 56th & Summitview that was not
cleared of weeds. Mr. Shampine stated staff attempts to clear all
• of the City's lots prior to initiation of the weed abatement
program each year. However, there are various departments that own
property that he may not be aware of, and therefore, occasionally
one :might .slip by unnoticed. In response to a question from
Council member Sires regarding the length of time a citizen is
allowed to respond, Mr. Shampine stated an eleven day time period
• elapses from the date Council approves the resolution until
action is taken by staff. .Resolution D -5475 having been read by.
title, it was MOVED by Buchanan, seconded Foy, to adopt the first
resolution. Unanimously carried by roll call - vote.
•

Administration Manager to clear certain weedy lots.
8. 'REPORT FROM PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT- REGARDING - PROPOSAL TO FUND
CANAL COVER FOR CHESTERLEY PARK
Public Works Director Copeland yielded to questions from Council
members and Council member Barnett asked if Council •had not
earmarked the real estate transfer tax for some specific purposes?
City Manager stated the tax imposed was already restricted by
state law in terms of capital improvement projects. He said when
Council passed that ordinance it was to be in accordance with the
provisions of state law, including water, sewer, utility type
projects and other capital improvement needs, such as park
improvements were also permitted within those guidelines. He
stated the first use was identified principally'as utility, capital
needs and streets. It was MOVED by Buchanan, seconded by
-Beauchamp, to approve the concept of the 'application of the
Public Works Trust Fund Loan to cover the entire FruitvalesCanal.
Under discussion, Council member Foy stated he will be voting
•
against this motion because the funds are being taken•*from the
Public Works Trust•Fund, which is the Real Estate Transfer Tax.
He stated the bond issue was passed by the people to build
.Chesterley Park, but he does not think the citizens approved
leveraging of other funds outside the bond issue to build the park.
Council member Foy commented he thinks we- should protect the Public
Works Trust Fund and be very careful on how that money is spent.
Council member Buchanan •stated by not covering the open canal,
Council.is placing the City in an awkward position, and stated it
is his opinion that the Public Works Trust Fund money would be
wisely used to cover the canal to prevent children from drowning.
Council member Foy suggested developing Chesterley Park with one
less soccer field and then add it as the park begins to collect
user fees. He stated he is concerned that Council is setting a
precedent in this instance by using the Public Work Trust Funds for
something they should not. City Manager Zais stated everyone is in
agreement that the canal should be covered, however, the
disagreement is how to pay for this item because it was not covered
in the bond issue and was not part of the site development
estimate. Mr. Zais pointed out that the covering of the canal can
be paid for with bond issue revenues, but this will mean scaling
back the project and staff can show Council how to do that if that

jft 12
is'Council's desire. He stated, otherwise,..Council 'cah'approve the
development outlined in the next agenda item on the basis on how it
is presented, and use this source of money to pay for the covering
of the ,'canal .:Mayor.; Berndt asked if the City decides to merge the
.water. systems. will this canal be used in the future ? Water
. Superintendent Ty- Wick stated this canal. is basically used as a
wasteway for irrigation runoff and will be needed in the future for
that purpose. Mr. Wick commented this particular canal is a large
contributor to the infiltration into the sewer system and
9 rebuilding it would eliminate quite a source of inflow and
infiltration into the sewer system, so there would be`some benefit
to covering the canal. Council member Beauchamp spoke in favor of
.covering : the canal for the safety of the children, commenting he
believes it should .be covered regardless of the source of funding.
•The question was called for a vote on'the motion. Carried by 5 -2
-.- voice -vote: Barnett and Foy voting, nay: City Zais stated
the appropriate budget- legislation will be .brought• back before the
Council to' provide for ;covering the canal: from Public Works
.Trust Fund..
