PELICAN POINT SEWER
The Pelican Point sewer system is owned by Huck Goodrich and serves nine lots inthe Pelican
Point Addition 3 Plat.The system will eventually serve a total of 27 lots in the Pelican Point
Addition 1 and 3.Sandcastle #1,Phase 2 has also requested to be served by this system.
Phil Bloom, Columbia Northwest Engineering, stated that the sewer system was originally
constructed in 1983. The city's force main is about 3/4 mile to the east of this system.The
alternativeto additional septic tanks in the Pelican Pointarea or expanding this sewer system is
to connect to the city's force main.
There was some discussion by the Council.
Joseph K.Gavinski,City Manager,stated that the connection to the city'ssewer system for this
area would not entailan annexation agreement.The citywould charge the sewer operator for the
service at a commercial rate,not the individual property owners.
There was additional discussion by the Council.
Huck Goodrich,developer,requested that if the Council agrees to this request that the system be
designed to handle at least 60 lots.

proclaiming the city's sports champions.She recommended that the city consider such signage.
The Council felt it was a good idea but there was some discussion on the logistics of the idea. It
was suggested that Vision 2020,the city, and the High School Booster Club may need to be
involved.It was recommended that Ms.Homey contactVision 2020 as a first step.
CONSOLIDATED DISPOSAL -WAIVER
Consolidated Disposal requested a waiver from the city to connect its transfer facility to city
services.
Dan Dietrich,Consolidated Disposal,stated that they have constructed a transfer station and
material recovery facility at 9524 Road 7 NE,which consists of 13 acres and is within the city's
urban growth area.In the process ofconstructing the facility,the Grant County Health Department

its development without having to connect to city services at this time.Consolidated will be
required to sign a covenant for those improvements in the future.
GilbertAlvarado,Community Development Director,stated that because the county has adopted
Title 20,there is the requirement that development in the Urban Growth Area must develop to city
"">standards.Ifthe developer does not wish to construct facilities,they are required to provide cash\_J in theamount of150%ofthecostofthedevelopment orrequest a waiver ofthe requirements.The
city has no objections to a waiver provided a covenant is signed for those improvements in the

improvements will be paidatthe time the platis recordedwiththe county. The developer will also
pay $33,000 for park improvements to the Lower Peninsula Park.

and Lakeshore Drive should be done the entire length of the streets at one time, rather than piece
meal.For that reason,the Glenmoor Reach developer is not being required to construct
improvements to the streets at this time but to pay his fairshare of the cost to the city.
Ed Greer,developer,stated that the development will provide needed housing in the city and the
improvements to the Lower Peninsula Park will also enhance the area. He stated that they have
no objection to contributing to the cost of the development ofthe park and the street improvements.
Mr.Deane stated that the development will have an impact on the area and the developer has
voluntarily agreed to mitigate the impacts by contributing funds for the improvements.He felt itwas

hours of 10 p.m.and 7 a.m.

vicinity.

NON-AGENDA ITEMS AND PUBLIC QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS -None
COUNCIL QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS
LAKE CLEAN UP
Richard Pearce distributed a draft ofa letter from Tom Dent,Chairman ofthe Moses Lake Advisory
Committee,concerning the waterqualityof Moses Lake.The Departmentof Ecology was originally
proposing a Category 5a and the letter is requesting a Category 2. Currently the Department of
Ecology seems to be in agreement with the Category 2.The Committee is requesting that various
agencies sign off on the letter,the City of Moses Lake being one of them.
Mr.Blackwell pointed out that a Category 5a would place the Department of Ecology in control of
the clean up efforts in Moses Lakewhile a Category2 would keep local control and jurisdiction over
the clean up process.He was in favor ofthe city signing the letter.
Mr.Deane mentioned that the lake is very polluted but was informed that property on a Category
5a lake cannot be sold.He mentioned that with a Category 2 lake clean up would require local
funding butwith a Category 5 there would be some federal funding available.
Joseph K.Gavinski,City Manager,stated that there are divergent view points on whether Moses
Lake should be designated as a Category 5a or a Category 2.
i^_J Mr.Pearce pointed outthat there are no grants atthis time and the possibility of getting grants is
just as good for a Category 2 as a Category 5a.Under the Category5a the Departmentof Ecology
willdetermine who are the polluters.One of the businesses DOE is looking at is the fish hatchery
but he also felt that the city would be looked at because of the runoff from streets and roads.The
polluters are then required to reduce their pollutants by a certain percentage.The letter indicates
that there is substantial work that still needs to be done to pinpointthe source of the phosphorous,
which is the major source of contamination.A Category 2 will provide the local people an
opportunity to continue their investigations.
Mayor Covey pointed out that the letter was presented to the Council at this meeting and since
there are two divergent views on this subject,suggested that no action be taken at this time until
additional information on the impacts ofthe different categories is provided.
It was the consensus ofthe Council that no action on the letter be taken at this time.
MOSES LAKE COMMUNITY PARK
Mayor Covey distributed a list of the proposed names for the Moses Lake Community Park and
requested the Council consider them for discussion at the next meeting.

by the department including trench rescue,confined space rescue,etc.Training takes up 16 hours
per person per month.The Washington Surveying and Rating Bureau suggests that fire
department personnel have 20 hours per person per month.Few other professions require that
amount of time devoted to training.The departmentalso is committed to vehicle checks,equipment
maintenance,station maintenance,emergencyand non-emergencyresponses,hydrant responses,
pump and hose tests,etc.Emergency responses average 9.67 calls per day.There were 135 fire
