AUGUST 23, 1988
Naches /Yakima River by I -82,. and south to the existing path at
Serge Hubbard Park. He stated this request consists of
basically three types of permit applications, a Class (3) Review
under the Urban Area Zoning Ordinance for the Park, the application
for the Shoreline Management Substantial Permit and a Variance for
a vault toilet to be located within 50 feet from the ordinary high
water mark of the river and the lake. Mr. Durant stated the motion
• required today from the City Council and County Commissioners
is to accept, reject or modify the,Hearing Examiner's decision on
the Class 3.Review, and a decision to. approve the Shoreline Permit
and - .the Variance Permit. He indicated there will be two separate.
'Shoreline Permits; one for the City and one for the County.
• :Referring to the map on the wall, Mr. Durant pointed out that
the red line indicates existing improvements, while the black line
indicates proposed improvements. He said the proposal is to
improve a section of the Greenway river and lake recreational
area by providing handicapped accessibility, four fishing piers, •
,nature trails, restroom facilities, improved parking - - areas and
picnic tables at Freeway (Rotary) Lake. Access streets to the
development will be R Street, 4th Street and I•Street. He stated
City and County staffs are recommending approval of the proposal
with the conditions listed in the Hearing Examiner's decision, plus
an eleventh condition added by staff referring to the time frame
for commencement and completion of the project. Commissioner
Klarich interjected that the County signed an agreement with the
Department of Transportation this moring for access under I -82 with
language stating the County will maintain the route under I -82.
Commissioner Klarich opened the public hearing for testimony
regarding the ,Class (3) Review, the .shoreline permit and the
variance. Dave Veley, Assistant Director of the Yakima 'County
Parks Department,' stated funding sources for this project include
the Department of Transportation, Yakima County, and the City of
Yakima: He explained that the Rotary Lake project is a State
Inter- Agency,Committee for Outdoor Recreation Grant Projects with
,land and water•funds from the. federal level, along with the local
match from. the downtown Rotary.-Club. The Pathway North Project is
funded by a state grant through the Inter - Agency Committee on their
Non- Highway Off Road Vehicle Program, with the local match being
provided by the Yakima River Greenway.
•
Barbara Feasey,.ExecutiveDirector of the Yakima Greenway, spoke in
support of the project, encouraging approval of the proposal.
June Hendrix, long time resident of North 4th Street, spoke about
the current traffic congestion and bottleneck at the end of 4th
Street. She'stated she .realizes the expense involved to construct
;a road from 4th Street to.North 1st Street, but added it will also
be expensive, if, the emergency vehicles are unable to access the
area when needed. She stated she felt it' would be unfair to
everyone not to bring this to.the attention of the City Council and
County Commissioners at this time. _
Gary Beeman, Washington State Department of Transportation, stated
they are co-participants in this program, adding that the WSDOT
supports this concept because the Greenway Path will be an
integral tie between the gap program established by DOT-around
Bergman Lake into Selah, and also will supply a loop for
commuters, recreationalists and bicyclists off the state highway
system.
City Attorney Vanek reminded Council members and County
Commissioners-that they should disclose whether they have had any
contact from opponents or proponents regarding any of the three
matters.being discussed today. •
County Commissioner Klarich closed the public hearing and stated he
has not been contacted by anyone about either of these matters.

anyone. Council; member Sims stated as an ex officio member
.appointed•. by the' City to the Greenway, he is aware of this
project. Council member Buchanan stated he is aware. of the bicycle

12. REPORT FROM. PUBLIC WORKS REGARDING CHESTERLEY PARK CONSTRUCTION
BID
•
Director of Public Works, Jerry Copeland called attention to page
two of the report which gives several alternatives for possibly
balancing the project budget. He stated Items 2. and .4 will
require a rejection of the bids already received and call for new
bids. Council members Foy and Barnett had questions regarding the
contingency and City Manager Zais explained that Option 4 is to
live within the budget that has been established, which is out of
balance at this time by $71,600; this option . any
contingency being allocated He explained that if during the
course:. of •construction, project change orders become necessary,
those items could be funded from the $51,000 earmarked on Exhibit
C. Council member Foy referred to the contract in Agenda Item No.
13, which recommends that the contract.for construction 'supervision
:be an amendment in the amount of $20,:000 which is inclusive in the
$115,000- item that is mentioned in the document for consulting
fees, pre- design, design phase,- bidding phase and construction
supervision, and asked if this $20,000 is included in the $115,000?
. Mr. Copeland stated that Mr. Foy's understanding is correct.
Council member Foy stated there is no limit on the reimburseable
expenses, and asked if the .agreement should not stiputlate a
$20,000 limit? Mr. Copeland stated the other items are ,already
paid for and Mr. Foy interjected, "not until Council votes on this
today." Council member Foy said he ,believes the document should
contain language to limit the reimbursable expenses to $20,000.
Parks Manager; Doug Carter, stated if Council adopts that
amendment, it does not exceed the $20,000; that takes care of all
. of the reimbursable expenses. .He said the hourly rates have been
included in case we have to re- design for any reason, and the
• contract has been worded that the $20,000 is to include the •
reimbursable expenses. Council member Foy, referred to Exhibit C
and suggested that Council adopt this as a Park Bond Issue budget.
Discussion continued regarding various ways to stay within the
budget and still accomplish the four major projects as set forth in
the Bond Issue, after which it was MOVED by Foy, seconded by Sims,
to adopt Exhibit C as our Park Bond Issue Budget for Items 1
through 5. Unanimously carried by voice vote. Beauchamp absent.
It was MOVED by Sims, to accept Alternative 3 as ajmeans of funding
the $20,473 shortfall. The motion died for lack of a second.
Discussion ensued on whether another motion is needed. Mr.
Zais said ,his understanding of the previous motion is that the
budget, as adopted, including .contingencies, requires the Parks
Department to delete line items from the base bid in the amount of
AAD /4

AUGUST 23, 1988 •
' $20',473, thus: allowing the bid. to be _ awarded within-:the. bid: amount
authorized •bby -the 'City - Council For: further=-.clarification, he
• -- • stated any -cost overruns; claims, or change orders exceeding the
budget will require some other funding •source . :wi- thin -i.the bond
issue. Mr. Zais stated as long as the project is within budget,
change• orders will be made'' administratively, .however, once a
threshold is achieved in excess -of the budget, staff must return to
•
Council for direction. It was the consensus of the Council that
the conduit for field lighting - would- be given'.priority over
'some . of they other• i -terns ' on the 'list. Parks Manager- Carter- stated
Parks staff will work with the contractor -.in way possible to
see that the field lighting is included as.aLpriority item.
