CONSIDERATION OF BIDS -PARKING METERS A letter was read from Mr.Wayne Baker,Police Chief. On November 19,1974 bids were received and opened for 140 twin parking meters and 45 singleparkingmeters.Bids were tabulated anda summary sheet is attached for your review. - Both of the bidders met the specifications on the metersas published.The low bidder, theTrafficApplianceIncorporationofLosAngeles,California.Their bid is based on Duncan Parking meters. I recommend that the City Council award the contract to Traffic Appliance Corporation of Los Angeles,California. Hill -Was our budget $20,000 on this? Baker -$24,000. Ebbert -Were there only two companies bid on this ? Baker - There were only two companies bid.We sent spectficlations to , I believe tt was five, and two returned. Ebbert -What kind of a delivery date can we get on this? Baker - The Traffic Appliance Corporation estimated 30 to 45 days for delivery after the order has been placed. Ebbert -The bids are certainly close. t •-• WJ A _November 26,1974CouncilMeetingMinutes:2 b5toMo3«?»"Sto-fdS^ihebidding.Both meters are acceptable and Isee no reason why not to award it to the low bidder.v Ebbert - It seems like the only different Is In the twin meters. Baker -As I recall the bids there was about an $8.00 difference between the two companies on the price of twin meters.That's $8.00 per pair. Boyle -I would make a motion that the bid of Traffic Appliance Corporation be accepted for the meters.

Ebbert - Theywere supposed to sort of engineer It. Hill -Weren't they talking about,I mean the downtown merchants about a possible downtown L.I.D. of some sort,a "parking L.I.D.? Ebbert - Yes they wanted to get some costs. Skaug -It occurred to me that possibly this particular item might have been apart of the subject matter." Ebbert -No,they went along with-the present plans for traffic meters.Anything else on the question? Question called,motion carried. CONSIDERATION OF BIDS -Eastlalce Sewer \\f^Aletter was read from M.G.McLanahan,Acting Public Works Director. based on the following: 1.Elimination of pumping excess water through three lift stations and treatment atthe sewage treatment plant.*«i„«.«.2 Replacing a sewer main that had defective joints.m-3'.Elimination ofone lift station from the ^wage system.4.Eliminating one lift station overflow drain to the lake.^5.Removing a portion of the sewage overload from the main lift station.y '"On November 20,1974,four bids were receivedi«^^^g JEM?ICr?c^SdTea^***~e«"~PTO-^Jectto Evergreen Excavlng and Concrete Company. Ebbert -Mac,do you have any comments on the bids other than what shows on the sheet? answer them for you. Hill -Mac,this takes care of coming down Division Road or Division Street? McLanahan -No sir.It does not.This takes care of asmall portion of Broadripple -the addition that Jessica Longston developed. Ebbert -Does this put awater collection line of some sort along Division? McLanahan - No,sir It does not. Ebbert - I thought that was partof the project. McLanahan -No,It allows us to use the existing sewer line on Eastlake someday for astorm drainage system If we need to.___j 2070 Council Meeting Minutes:3 November 26,1974 Skaug -Mr.Mayor,apparently some department work had decreased that Infiltration by 50%at one timeandnowttls80gallons per minute. Is that an unusually high amount—?.Two Thousand gallons a day does not seem like an awful lot of water. McLanahan - 80gallons per minute amounts to a little over a million gallons a month coming Into the sewage treatment plant. Skaug -Would the same treatas you did here some years ago correct a great portion of this Infiltration? McLanahan - I understand your question now, Mr. Skaug. We have'ellmlnated entirely on VueStreet the infiltration.Part of the Infiltration at that time was on the sewer line to Eastlake.Thewaterthat was coming in on Vue Streetthen moved down the ditchllne, not In the pipe buton the outside and started Infiltrating the ditch along Eastlake. Hill - Mac,If we cut out the pathfor 80gallons of water, wheredoes It gothen? McLanahan - It goes right to the lake.It Is only about 200 feet to the lake. Hill - There Is no possibility of undermining the existing street and so forth by ... McLanahan -No sir. Ebbert - Any other question? Hill - I move that we accept the bid of Evergreen Excavating. Skaug -Second.Motion carried. REFERENDUM #27 GRANT FUNDS -TRANSMISSION MAINS &SOURCE (Well #31) Ebbert - I wasn't here the last meeting.What was the procedure for bringing it up this time?Was •//&Q? It to be reput on the agenda or \.. Boyle -It was tabled till tonight. Hill - Well, if wegoonthat table situation,it was not a legal table,so It cannotbe brought backto the ... as a discussed Item on the agenda to be voted upon.Tabling takes majority. Boyle-There wasnoactiontakenlast week.So It Is legalto putit back onthe agenda. Hill - No It has to be put back on a future agenda.This Is only for Information tonight. Boyle - Iftherewas no actiontakento eithertable orto .....as I remember,the vote was 3-3, then the Item was never acted upon and the item would still be continued tonight. Hill - I would think not. I say no action was taken get it on table but wedo have some informational items here I believe. Boyle - I would like a ruling onthis from CityAttorney,whether this Item can legally be brought back to-night for actionandnot just for information since noactionhas beenlegallytakenon it last week. John Calbom - No, this Is an Item that Is onthe agenda foraction If the Council desires to take action on It.. Hill - It was tabled by an illegal action last meetingand I question whether it can be broughtforward. Calbom - I was not here at the last meeting,but I recall the regular meeting.There was a 3 to 3 vote onit,so that was a nullity,and I understand there was a special meeting? Boyle - It was a continuation ofthe first meeting ona different date the first votewas taken to kill the project and it ended in a 3 to 3 tie and a motion was taken to table the item and it ended up in a 3 to 3 tie. Calbom - So that was a nullity also.So you are ready to bring It on for discussion. Hill - I believe it has to be requested to be put back on the agenda by the Council before we can vote on tt. Boyle - It is my understandingthat since the tabling motion failed,that the item Is on our agenda already. Hill -Only for Information purposes,which Is new material. Boyle -Any new Information might be Informational,but the main Item still remains, that Item Is still listed as Referendum #27 -Grant Funds anything else that Is added to that as far as letters or Input from the audi ence Is strictly Informational.But the main question.remains on the agenda. Ebbert - Well according to the City Lawyer, it appears that this is legal to have It on the agenda tonight. So,first procedure would be to read the first letter which Is from Mr.Waggener. fifi.fc 2071 November 26,1974 Council Meeting Minutes:4 -dire o?som»S£kn^eS^K^^ continued meeting?f"™ Mrs.Zimmerman (Secretary,-They are not ready.They are ready to be mailed out and should be In the mall In the morning.Ebbert -That Is my predicament.1have,'t seen the minutes and Idon't know what happened at the meet- lng.Moe -Iam wondering where Mr.Hill draws his Information regarding the Illegality of this,so to speak.

Sfit u U 2074 Vv - • Council Meeting Mintues: 7 November 26,1974 That $77,000.*includes the pipe line from one side to the other, land to land. WhatMac is talking aboutis if we goto a bridge suspendedcrossing underthe bridge,a portion of that would saved because of theavailability of puttingthe transmission line In a trench on the fill and then suspendingonlya short distance across theexsistlnq crosswalk.So there vo uld be reduction in the cost,but not,well I can't give you an actual figure,but it wouldn't save $66,000. Boyle - Mr.McLanahan,at our last meeting you relayed to us that the following day I believe it was youweregoingwiththepeoplefromtheDepartmentofEcologyconcerningthepermitsfordrillingWell#11.Do you have any thing further to relate to us tonight on that? McLanahan - If the Council pleases I will go into the summary and I will come to that also.Gentlemen,inMayof1973,the second Council meeting,you were given,at that Council meeting,a presentation of studyandimplementationofwhatshouldbedoneto the watersystem.Since that time, the last threeor four weeks,you might say we have given you a mass of material andtechnical inforna tiononthis. Partof thishas been water system analysis.This study was based on the existing facilities in the three zones.This is zoneonein the yellow, this is zonetwothat is hash -marked in the red, and zonethree that is hash-marked in thegreen.Inzone one we found that during peak hour demand we have an deficiency of water.We have proposed the rehabilitation of Well #4, the adding of a reservoir on tie Peninsula In the location near the Oasis Motel,andthe Westlake crossingto elevate this shortage of water in zone one. In zone two wehad problems ofpumpingairintothe system.On real hot days and peak hour demand we have a shortage of supply in thisarea.We have proposed drilling a new well. Wehave proposed puttinga reservoir out on Nelson Road,connecting the reservoirto the Lakeview Terrace area and creating a new zone, that we have numbered zone four. This will stimulate the pressure in zone four and relieve some of the air problems that are located in this Lakeview Terrace area.In the old zone two that remains on this proposal,we have proposed putting in a transmission line from standpipe numbertwo , down Hill Avenueto supply this zone two.The well thatwillsupplyzonetwowouldbe well number eight. We propose to go Into that wellthis yearand try to elevate someof the air problems of the water that comes out of the well. In zone three we found no realpressureorsupplyproblemsatthistime.There are some ties that need to be made as this zone Is expanded.Wehave,with careful planning, and by watching our budgetso that wa may obtain 40%matching monieswithReferendum27, we have money to do all the projects systematically in the Lakeview Terrace area and remember I said first we wouldgo in construction of Well #11 and I believe this Is your first one, Mr. Boyle. Afterthe last meeting I metWednesday, the following day, with D.O.E.I have verbal permission from TedOlsonand Dr.George Maddox to proceed with Well #11.We wlU be bringingthe specifications back to you December 10thfor the drilling of Well #11.We will propose that the bids will be opened January 14,1975 • Freda am I going toofast for you? F.Zimmerman -No. McLanahan - O.K. Gentlemen, again we have the money,If we use our 40%from Referendum 27 funds to do all that I have told you tonight.We were offered $96,242.00 to match 40%of eligible construction costs for the Westlake Transmission line.By saving as much moneyas we can and going across the bridge,we will be able, not only to cross the pedestrian bridge, but we plan on donation from the Highway Department to cross the bridge as they referred to as Central Drive, to you Is Wapato. We plan to cross the bridge atWapatoalso,with the funds. Wethink that there is money enough for bothcrossing in this allocation.Excuseme, just a minute, and I will showyou this map a little closer.Gentlemen,first map that I willpass to you is the existing zones, pressurezonesthat are within the City.You will see at Westlake is a zone all by itself.Second map that I will pass to youwill be the proposed change of the zones It shows the change at Westlake to be included in zone one.It shows also the addition of zone four. Ebbert - We do have set Information then for Well #11. MdLanahan -Yes,.Sir. Ebbert -That is good news.We certainly need it. Moe-What would be the adverse effects of this proposal?Would it be detrimental to anyone? McLanahan - No one that I know of would suffer by this proposal.From what I can see everyone has a chance to gain by it.After you have had a chance to look at the maps. Ebbert-Your change map here?What zone does Westlake now become then? McLanahan - I will finish with my presentation.It will come into Zone 1 system.It is the biggest system of the three that now exist.By putting Westlake into the Zone 1 system,we at present time have a 1200 gallon per minute deficit during peak hour demand.This would eliminate this deficit by allowing us to pump an additional approximately 1400 gallons across the lake into the Zone 1 system.During fire,if we have a maximum fire which requires a 4500 gallon per minute fire.This Increases our deficit In the Zone 1 area as it exists now to 5000 gallons.As you can see,we don't have the storage for a four hour fire.This Is what we were required by Washington Rating &Survey Bureau.This is why the proposal of the new tank,also on the Peninsula.That,and the fact that the new tank proposal would eliminate a variance of pressure from the Peninsula area.For Instance,on the peak hourly map,on the Peninsula,we may be down on the end of the Peninsula around 45 pounds.However,that previous morning or the following momlng,they may have 95 pounds In the same area.So it -the pressure is quite erratic.This reservoir would take the shock out of the pressure changes and make a constant or fairly constant pressure.Not only In the Peninsula area,but in Westlake also.If Well #31 Is not developed,if we do not use the permit that we already have for Well #31,then Gentlemen,we are going to change our strategy and locate a different well on the Peninsula that will serve that area.Because we do need,or will need added supply.

McLanahan - 1500 to 1600 gallons pulling from It. Ebbert-That's Including Westlake. McLanahan -Yes sir.Now D.O.E.Issues permits and as most of you know,they require that we putmeters^Teachwell.The reason for these meters Is that If we do not use the wel ,then we relenqulshoui-use of the wellor In other words,they adjust our permit to the use,that Is being used on the meter,?s what Itamounts to.They have a review now scheduled at the end of a ten year period where they willadiusfSoTfTedonotusethewellasItisdeveloped,then probably at the end of ten years D.O.E.will?uit cut us rick to aTuO or 300 gallon permit for that well.That's all we will be able to draw..

Hill -Mac,we keep talking about the $96,000 where does the other $140,000 come from? It is not in the budget as I recall. McLanahan - Mr.Hill,you were - if you remember at the beginning of this presentation I made, I told you that this was May 2 meeting of Council in May of 1973, is at the time that you people approved the Bond Issue and were also instructed as to how the bond - Hill -That was in the bond -was it in the budget though?I didn't find it in the budget anywhere. McLanahan - I am sure that you want Mr.Waggener - I am trying to give you the month -as close as I can come at giving a presentation I believe in September,in which he said that during 1974 we weren't going to put a group of projects into the budget that we didn't have funds for. We were going to fund it as we got the federal funding. Hill -This would still be in our water/sewer bonding then,is what we are talking about. McLanahan -Yes sir,it will. Johnson - When then do you propose to build the water tank?How far in the future is your water tank? Ebbert -You mean on the reservoir? Johnson - On the reservoir on the Peninsula. McLanahan - Mr.Johnson,the reservoir in the Lakeview Terrace area and all the improvements will be made up there prior to the water tank being built on the Peninsula.I would say that our priority wise right now,_ we will'probably not seek funds until the end of next year for the water tank on the Peninsula where as of December 15,plans and specifications go in for reservoir #5 which is up on Lakeview Terrace. Moe -Mr.McLanahan , I am not quite sure where the funding is coming from on this,you said it would be coming from D.S.H.S.?The 40%? McLanahan -Yes Sir. Moe -.Okay,that is from the State then. McLanahan -Yes Sir. Moe -Okay,thank you. McLanahan -This bond issue if you remember is the one that Mr.Baker reviewed for you last time.The bond issue was a total of $50,000^voted on Referendum 27.A portion of that has been allocated in the last two years to different funds.We now have rated for three fundings from this.Well #11,the rehabilitation of the wells and pumphouses,and now the Westlake transmission line we are talking about tonight and the Rehabilitation of Well #31. Ebbert -We have three fundings or four fundings ? McLanahan -We have three fundings that we have been rated for and granted. Ebbert —We need what,six altogether? McLanahan -We have it divided in approximately five more packages. Ebbert -Then -if this goes through we would have Wells #4, #7,#10 and #31 combined into one zone ? McLanahan -Yes,sir.That's in that large yellow zone that you saw tonight. Ebbert -That keeps our fire rating up to where it has been required to stand at the present time.What I mean is it will hold it to where it is without dropping it. McLanahan - Yes sir,we should hold it without any extra demerits. Qtif 2077 Council Meeting Minutes:10 November 26,1974 Ebbert -Otherwise we will have a terrific deficit of water at times in the Section 1 or whatever? McLanahan -Yes,sir,in Zone 1. This is where our most crucial fire needs are,in Zone 1,this is where our most expensive property and capital improvements are. Ebbert -There is absolutely no way that -what will you have out there a metering device of some sort that gets Westlake all the water they need,is that automatic,so that there is no way we can cheat those people out of water?If we have a fire and need more water,is it possible to draw everything out of Westlake or — McLanahan -No sir,it is not possible to dry them up.Not as long as that pump is pumping. Ebbert —Cause you got some pretty big fire equipment,you can pump alot of water. McLanahan -Yes sir,but they will get priority even on the water then. Moe -Mac,didn't you say that this proposal will not delay the proposed solution on Lakeview Terrace? In other words,it won't put it back another couple of years. McLanahan -These are entirely two different separate projects.If you will let me go on into summary now, you have opened it up,I'll go on in.I feel that it will affect,if we tum this grant down,that it will affect Lakeview Terrace.I feel that the next time we go in for funding that being human,the Department of Social and Health Services will question our credability.What I mean by this is,if we have got our heads together. If the staff is supporting the Council's wishes and if the Council is giving proper leadership or proper guidance to the Staff.I really feel that we may be jeopardizing future grants if we turn the grant down.I don't want to throw any scare tactics into you or anything like this,however,if we go ahead and let this go by,and have to develop a well on our own,it means that we are going to have to either go to additional revenue bonds,taken out of our income that is coming in,if we take it out of our income that's coming in,it means that we are going to raise the rates,if we go to additional revenue bonds before we can sell revenue bonds,the rates will have to be reviewed by the boncttngattorney and finance consultant,to see if the rates are raised again.I can't answer you any other way than that. Ebbert -If I read you right,if we don't tap into this well which has an abundance of water,that we are not using,then we will have to drill another well on the Peninsula,is that right? McLanahan -Yes sir,another well is going to have to be utilized into Zone 1,so that we can meet the fire requirements and our population growth. Ebbert -Well what is the matter with the pump that's in the Westlake well now,it's just not big enough to pump out what that well is capable of pumping? McLanahan -It is big enough now Mr.Ebbert,to pump what is necessary for Westlake. Ebbert -That is what I mean,but you keep saying the capacity of the well is about 18,000 gallons per minute. McLanahan-1800 gallons per minute. Ebbert - We are not getting anywhere near that amount out of it.It's because it hasn't got a big enough pump in it,is that what you mean? McLanahan - Yes sir.The well is big enough,but the pump isn't big enough. Ebbert -The well has the capacity. McLanahan -The well has the capacity,yes sir. Johnson - Mac, Just one more question - What are we talking about in dollars of drilling a well,in comparison to this crossing and the cost of pumping it across and a tank,what are we talking about in comparisonof dollars, wehave got $240,000 in this first step plus the reservoir,which would run what,$250,000 or $300,000? McLanahan- Mr. Johnson even if we drill a new well,say down in the lower Peninsula area,we will still have to have the reservoir.The reservoir will still be necessary.There is no way of getting out of that reservoir one way or the other totakethe loadoffthe line.We are looking at a little over $200,000 to drill Well #11 and equip the same.> Johnson-Basically,the costs would come out about the same. H 2078 Council Meeting Minutes:11 November 26,1974 McLanahan -Basically,the costs would come out about the same,except for one thing.The transmission,line from where we locate the well on the lower Peninsula we were just talking about would be an added costtothereservoir.I am just talking about the equipment and drilling of the well a little over $200,000.Then we have to run transmission lines — Johnson - Up to the reservoir. McLanahan -Yes sir. Johnson -How many dollars are we talking about then?We have the $200,000 and then some - McLanahan -If we located this well on the lower Peninsula,we have to locate this well at least 3,000 feetfromWell#4.I would assume then that we are talking about approximately 2,000 feet of transmission linetolocateit at- toa reservoir.This would probably be an additional cost of$50,000 for the transmission line.We are looking approximately -for a well on the Peninsula - at $220,000 I'd say. Ebbert -You don't need any additional lines on the lake crossing,you justtap into whatever you have out there now,is that what you mean?You bring it across the bridge and plug into some line that we hare out there now? McLanahan -Yes sirwe will -Excuse me,let me answer that this way.Mr-Ebbert,this .is well #31's location.We will run this new transmission line - if the project goes -from Well #31,up Montana StreetalongtheedgeoftheHighway,where we cross Montana Street,we will connect to the eight inch line that is in this distribution system for Westlake.We will continue then along the right ofway line of the StateHighwayDepartment,across the bridge,and at Marina Drive we will connect to an eight inch line at MarinaDrive.On Broadway,we will connect to a ten inch line.We will then continue across Eastlake and bacKonWapato,we will connect to a six inch crossing here at Wapato.We would continue on Wapato south acrossthebridgearidthenwewouldhavethisreservoirhere.If we located a well as Mr.Johnson is talking about' inthe lower Peninsula and pump back up then,we would probably be looking at $50,000 for this transmission .line back to here,and we still have all these tie-ins to make.We have approximately 40%ofthe cost ofthe transmission line on connections that need to be made in the City. Hill -Following Mr.Johnson's suggestion,why would reservoir #4 have tobe where itis-couldn't it be further out the Peninsula?Wouldthat make a difference ? •McLanahan - Itis put inthis area right now.We have it designed in this area,Mr..Hill.Because ofthe factthatthe closeness ofthis reservoir tothis more costly construction job,such as the Oasis Motel, .Hallmark,more costly property values inthis area,gives us more fire protection.Gives better fire flowsandbetterratings,allowing the insurance to be better rated by Washington Survey and Rating Bureau.Did that answer your question?Now if we did as you said,put it out here,where we didn t pump as far throughthedistributionsystem,we wouldn't get to take advantage of the pump on this well,giving us pressure through the distribution system.I was hoping this was going to be a short presentation,I'm sorry. Ebbert -•Would you say that last again,I didn't quite follow that. McLanahan - If we put this reservoir out here,we wouldn't take advantage ofthe well pumping through this distribution system.By haying your well located on one end and your reservoir on another end the further distance apart the two are,the better pressure you have until you getclose to the reservoir and then the reservoir determines exactly what pressure you have within an immediate vicinity.For instance,Dahlia Street and so forth,you can only get what pressure you have at the time. Ebbert -The peoplein there are just riding on pump pressure all the time, instead ofthe well pressure. McLanahan -Yes sir.We are basically a well pumping system, because we don't have the large transmission lines.We have the distribution lines. Moe - Mr.McLanahan,if that was to be a reality,in other words a well out on the Peninsula with another reservoirthere, youwouldn'thavethe lake crossing andthe twosystems wouldn'tbe tied together. Fire protection wouldn't be as good in the Westlake area? McLanahan - We would still have the majority of these lines to tie in here on this side of the Oasis Motel on the north side of the Interstate 90 that we show that we are tying with these funds. hfr^-'•r-,--•"rr-j-^tft^i 2079 November 26,1974 Council Meeting Minutes:12 Moe -Yes,but with the failure of the system out there,that Is.to pump .they would be high and dry soto speak..) very little watersupply.x', Moe -mat 1an,relent to Is if there were ^^£&££S X^st^ZT^^so to speak -the failure ofthe pump would put them out of business as tar as ure,u crossing,they would be in better shape,wouldn t they ? w t u with th*into crossing they will have acontinuous pressure of water all the time,not the flue-SS^lhJ^t^SSr^O lbs.fluctuationback and forth on regular oycles.

Moe -Just for information -What basic changes are being made in this one?I assume we are going to have Mr.Kimball on that. Ebbert- Bob, do you have an answer on that? Kimball -Yes sir,let me say this,there is approximately 319 total changes from the 1970 to 19721 andtreasonIdidn't put them in there is because it starts out basically with definitions that have beenchangedthatareeasierforthebuildingofficialstouseandtoclarify-example:youimight getthe terminology"Basement"Basement against cellar is one.Two,table 3Ayou will find in the '73 from thebreakoutthereyouaregoingtoseetwoadditionaldollarsonathousandaftertwentyfivethousandonpIScheck''b"you are going to find it's 65%on commercial and 50%on residential.It covers a lot ofmasonry**covers stresses,it covers -there is Just practically no darn end to what it does cover.It isaUneTresearchmaterial.There is one for ?construction,meaning single-family ,where itreau^s^l^th^y will have smoke detectors.Again,let me say they are minor changes and thereTreS-T and when Isay 319,one could be adefinition.They have dropped Chapter 53 for example andthatparticularonepertainstosprayboothsforcommercialareas,and that has been dropped from the buildingco%nTJandit'sbeen picked up in the Uniform Fire Code,1973.Iwanted to present some actual facts andfiau^eTon^hanges,but when you start getting into new trusses,and spans,we are talking about afiveorT*day sesston Iget brought up to date on it every year at Pullman and then different study sesssions*£A the yLr with different organizations Ibelong to.Idon't have anything else to add,unless you have some questions. Moe -We only get paid $20 dollars for this/neeting,we are not going to take five or six days. Ebbert -All this material you are talking about Bob,is required to bring us up to par on the standardization of the building code ? Kimball -Yes sir.Let me Just give you one example.In the 1970 they carried very little on grouting andB-4 block.In the 1973 they give you the procedures now on lifts.That wasn't covered before.JheydWn tcovernear^as much on rebar in '70 as they do in '73.We cover more on exiting,They cover more on glassglS!whichT astate law now,and it's arequirement.There is approximately 800 pages in Volume ITvolume2whichisalsoamechanicalcode,which is being adopted at the same time there is roughly^100changes.What we are talking about when we say 100 changes,we are talking now about fire'dampers andwearetalkingaboutanytimethatyouwouldpenetrateaonehourfireseparation,and I am talking basicallyTnFiSZoneVoneandt^o and not three.It covers ductwork,and mechanical.It covers gas well you^couldustgoonforfiveorsixdaysoneverythingthat's been changed.I don't want to dwell on it unless there issomequestionsorsomeinformationonrevisionsyouwouldliketohavesubmittedonastudysession.. Ebbert -What I am getting atis these amendments and these revisions that you have presented at this time are all that's necessary to bring us up to current standards? Kimball -Yesf sir.Those revisions that you are looking at there you are going to find are just some a littlebitabovewhatisnormallyrequired.These have been inthe City of Moses Lake for the last seven or eight years.This is reviewed by Mr.Waggener and we felt that they should still be there. Ebbert -You are recommending thatwe accept thisto keep us on an even par with the standards. Kimball -Yes sir. I might saythis.That effective January 1, of 1975 the State ofWashington throughlegislativeactiontoOlympia,the whole state will be under the building code.They don t have any choice and I have attended several meetings.What they are basically saying is thatthe State is going to have toadoptthecodewithallappendicestoincludethebookstandardsandstandardsasjust—?—specifications that back up Volume 1and Volume 2.Some ofthe attorneys thatset in on these meetings are saying well if the Building Code is being forced on the State,then why should we have to adopt it?The reason there being that if you don't adopt it,you can't enforce it.The County has got a problem now and I don't know what theanswerisgoingtobethere.I want to make one more statement ifI may before Isit down,and that would bethat what we have done is in -you don't have it yet - it willbe at the nextsession and it's also in Volume 2that we aregoing to maintain the same permit fee schedule in Volume 2 for 1973 as we did in 1970 because they didn't put the administrative authority init.They are leaving thatto municipaUty and we leftthatas is. ^j***.. !«••I .lii'...-y.»»numi'ii n—i—i*-—**-"-f ..'*•& Council Meeting Minutes:16 November 26,1974 Ebbert - I don't see any harm in passing the first reading,we can always make any changes on the second reading that are deemed necessary.Theymay come up some by that time. Boyle - I move thatthe first reading of the ordinance be adopted,Mr.Mayor. Ebbert - Moved by Boyle that the first reading be adopted. Swanson -Second. Hill -Bob,justa question.Do you have a copy handy there?Just a matter of information onPage 5.3.2.72 relating to amended heat cooling installation permit -"No person shallinstall, alter,reconstructorrepairanyheating,ventilating,comfort cooling,or refrigeration equipment unless a permit therefor has been obtained.." Does that mean that now and prior to the '73 code did everyone require a permit to work onanair conditioning unit? Kimball - Yes sir. Let mesay this.About a year ago orsix - eight months ago, the Department of Labor and Industries came in and removed our testing capability of testing plumbers.At this timethe City of Moses Lake does administer the mechanical and the gas test to gas fitters.That particular test has been made upthroughaboardofspecialtypeopleandtheircardisissuedthroughtheCityofMosesLake.What information I have received from Olympia,very shortly,wecanexpect D.O.I,to administer and test your gas people,too. Does that answer your question? HiU -No.Does it mean youcan't work onthe various heating and air conditioning,etc.withouthaving a permit?Does that mean they have to come down and it's like getting abuilding permit? Kimball -Yes sir.That means licensed.Licensed plus permit. Hill - Well, the permit would take care of a year's service though.It's notlike every Job. KimbaU -No sir.The license to Install is a general Ucense that is issued annually.But for each Job within that 12 month period thereis a requirement for a permit depending onthe BTU of the unit or- HiU -Yes,but the one permit takes care of the whole year. Kimball -The one license gets hima year, but a permit for each Job is what I amsaying, sir. Moe - Ifthe chimney,or flue,or the pipe fell outof your wall for some reason orother,you would have to go down to City Hall and get a permit to putit back? KimbaU -Yes sir,that's the way the code rules. Moe-That's ridiculous. Ebbert -subject to a $300 fine? Kimball -Yes sir.One thing that we haven't done and I have checked with Mr.Waggener and other CityStaff,"one thing that we haven't been writing is buUding permits for re-roofing.And I have had problems in the last three months that roofs have been put on. Ifthey are ahot mop and they're asphalt,it s put onatatemperatureeitherabove,which burns the asphalt,or below,where you don't get a good —?—process the roof leaks andwithout a permit there is not a darn thing I can do for the home owner. Boyle -What would be the case ifa person went down and Just bought awindow air conditioner and went home andputit in his window and puUed the window overit...? KimbaU -Let me answer it thisway..There is common sense if you go down and geta 12,000 BTU air con ditioner and want to stick it in your window and plug it into 110.Unless you are actually modifying thebunding.I am talking about acentral air.Now you can install a swamp cooler.I don t have acode book, but inthe administrative end ofthe code book,it talks about alter,repair,remove,that is just the way it is written.

REQUEST TO LEASE CITY PROPERTY -GRIFFITH LANDSCAPING -IRRIGATION Ebbert -We have aletter here from Mr.Waggener,would you read it please ?.^^-^ The accompanying request is for lease of land acquired by the City of Moses Lake for future street right-of-way in conjunction with the proposed second crossing of Parker Horn. Were the property to be leased for a longerterm thus allowing relatively permanent improvementstobeplaced,a higher lease rate would probably be justified.Until such time as theaUgnmentforthecrossingisdefinitelyestablishedandamoreprecisedatedeterminedfor construction, a longerterm lease would notbe recommended.

On Friday,November 22,I received a call from the Department of Ecology and it was indicated to me that the Moses Lake Shorelines Management Plan would be approved, on December 18,if a few minor additions were made. The following is a summary of the changes required for approval of the plan: 1.Addressing the process by which the D.O.E.can amend our Shorelines Management Plan. 2 •Addressing the process to be used in the periodic updating of our Shorelines Management Plan. 3.Addressing how piers,breakwaters,and shoreline protection wiU be dealt with in our ^ Shorelines Management Plan. A public hearing wUl need to be held between now and December 18 to approve these additions to the Moses Lake Shorelines Management Plan.In order to meet this deadline,a hearing should be scheduled for the next regular City Council meeting on December 10.
