Mr.Jackson wanted to know ifthe Revenue Sharing Agreementwould be void ifGrantCounty requested the Boundary Review Board to take jurisdiction on the Wheeler Corridor Annexation. Mr.Gavinski stated that itwould violate one ofthe terms of the agreement. GROWTH MANAGEMENT Joseph K.Gavinski, City Manager, distributed an articlewritten by Mike McCormick and Scott Cave for submittal to the Department of Community Trade and Economic Development.They are requesting input fromthe city's elected officials. He mentioned that after reading it,the city would prefer to submit its own articleto DCTED. DCTEDwould then combine the two articles into one using their editoriallicense. WHEELER CORRIDOR LITIGATION /O^tP /09s Joseph K.Gavinski, City Manager,stated that it was the city's belief that the litigation concerning the , Wheeler Road annexation would bedismissed upon signing ofthe Revenue Sharing Agreement between IO-^JJ the city and county.That has not taken place because Grant County wishes to proceed with itbecause of some issues they believe still remain to be resolved. JamesA.Whitaker,City Attorney,statedthat he had an unscheduled conferencecallwith Dennis Reynolds and Steve Halstrom about the law suit concerning the Wheeler Corridor annexation.He was informed that \)the suit would be continued on three issues from the county.The county wants an injunction to stop the annexation,a determination by the court that the city can and is required to extend utilities beyondthe UGA, and a determination that the Extra Territorial Utility Agreements are not valid. There was some discussion by the Council which was under the impression that the law suit would be dismissed when the Revenue Sharing Agreement was signed. KJ GRANT COUNTY -MAJOR INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENTS Joseph K.Gavinski,City manager,stated that he attended a meeting concerning the proposed major industrial development areas in the county.The two areas adjacent to the City ofMoses Lake are the I-90 site and the Rocky Ford site.At the meeting he recommended that the designations for the areas be changed to 6 and 7 rather than 1 and 2 on the list. He also pointed out that a different process could be used to designate a major industrial development site and that no one has contacted thecity about providing water or sewerto these sites.There was no desire on the part ofthe committee to change the rankings of the sites,so that puts the I-90 site as number one on the list and the Rocky Ford site as numbertwo on the list.This recommendation will be forwarded to the County Commissioners at a meeting on December 6. The city will attend this meeting to once again voice its objections to these sites and this process.
