Cecil Lee presented transparencies of the plans,showing the courts will abut the existing courts off of Dogwood.About 3 or 4 trees will need to be removed.It is an asphalt court,and enclosed with 10-foot fencing and with a Devoe lighting system.This lighting system is different from the one we have in the existing courts;it does not utilize poles;it has extensions which come up from the fencing,and is a flourescent type lighting which is inexpensive to operate and has long-life bulbs.Also will be using the same fencing on the one side of the existing court,and will not be utilizing the poles because of the different type of lighting system.He added,the lighting will not be changed on the existing courts. Request granted (M/S Skaug/Jones -passed).

Jerry Fay presented slides showing the problem on Rose,Gem and Cascade Avenues,and added, that this is not the only phase of the project;there are many more lines in the area that should have the same type of treatment.The portions of lines that indicate sagging will be repaired by city crewsin short sections at a time. Request granted (M/S Hill/Jones -passed.) LOADER TRANSMISSION A letter was read from M.G.McLanahan,Asst.Public Works Director,stating no bids were received for repair or replacement of the Trojan Loader transmission.He,therefore,requested permission to negotiate repair of the transmission by soliciting estimates. Mac explained the reason no bids were received is because the only supplier is located in Portland,and we received a letter from them stating it was too great a distance,and they do riot cover this territory.The firm in Spokane from which the city purchased the loader gave us an hourly rate to repair it,and that is the only verbal offer received.We estimate under $3,000 to repair it,but if the casing is cracked,we would have to go over $5,000,added Chet Waggener, and this is one reason we had the call for bids.Authorization is to simply get quotations and get the best price possible. Request granted (M/S Jones/Barney -passed.) ONE-HALF TON PICK UP A letter was read from M.G.McLanahan,Asst.Public Works Director,stating that specifications have been prepared for a new j-ton pickup truck to replace a 1965 pickup with high mileage and body damage.He requested permission to advertise for bids to be received on April 7,1976.

REFERRALS FROM COMMISSIONS: APPROVAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT -K-MART A letter was read from City Planner Stan Bech stating the Planning Commission held a public hearing on March 11,1976 to review the draft Environmental Impact Statement for the proposed K-Mart Shopping' Center.At the completion of the public hearing,the Planning Commission approved the draft Environ mental Impact Statement.The Environmental Impact Statement was submitted in final form to the Plann ing Commission on March 18,1976.It was recommended to the City Council for final approval,with the condition that items on traffic control and circulation,and on-site storm drainage be addressed in more detail to the satisfaction of city staff.With these conditions,he recommended the Environmental Impact Statement for the proposed K-Mart Shopping Center be approved as final. 2331 City Council Meeting Minutes:3 March 23,1976 Stan Bech added,that in relation.to the conditions set forth by the Planning Commission;those specifics were completely worked out with the developers before the Planning Commission at their last meeting.There has nothing been submitted in writing,but it will be forthcoming from the Strand Company.He also presented the site plans for the Council's purusal along with the Environmental Impact Statement by Strand-Diversified of Boise,Idaho. Stan continued,stating the reason this Environmental Impact Statement is coming before the City Council is that although the EIP Regulations within the community call for EIP Statements to be reviewed by the Planning Commission at a public hearing,and also it be brought back before them for final review and then on to City Council.An Assessment on a smaller project will only be re viewed by the Planning Commission and will not come before the City Council.This development is of a larger scale and nature,and that is the reason why this Impact Statement is coming before the City Council presently.He also informed the Council that Larry Lea sure from the K-Mart Developers of the Strand-Diversified Companies was present in the audience,and the Council may wish to address their question to him regarding the Impact Statement. Eric Skaug inquired as to what type of design they did have regarding the pollutants that might eventually reach the lake.Since nothing has been submitted in writing as yet,am wondering what enforceable documents we have as far as standards in terms of percentage of pollutants and this type of thing,that would be enforceable as far as your parking lot drainage. Larry Lea sure replied that he is at a little disadvantage;he is not in the construction business, he is more in the real estate oriented end of it.Mr.Margraf did inform him just before he left Boise thai the final drawings are now being completed to be submitted to the staff for your final approval in this regard. Eric Skaug asked about the landscaping,since in the EIP Statment it is mentioned that landscaping has not been determined.Larry Leasure responded stating,only along the area of Stratford Road, the final landscape plan has not been completed,but it will be with the final completion of the K-Mart plans,the same with Buttreys on.their final. Bob Hill asked to see the curb cuts along Stratford Road.Stan Bech presented the curb cut drawings. Eric Skaug asked Jerry Fay,in regard to the proposed two-way left turn lane on Stratford Road, does he believe this will handle the traffic into the K-Mart facility adequately,with you new design of the intersection also?Jerry Fay responded,stating that in conjunction with the Inter section design,there will be no problem with that particular development,but there are potential problems if we get more development in the Knolls Vista area. Kent Jones Inquired as to what the city's expenses will be Involved in these street changes? Jerry Fay answered,-with regards to channelization,that will be the left turn lane,which will be a . necessary item for that particular area;we are talking about $4,000 to $5,000.The total intersection design would approximately run in the neighborhood of $40,000 with participation from the developer roughly at one-quarter of that,so we can be talking about $30,000 at the intersection and $5,000 in the two-way channelization.We have programs to work on the Valley Road/Stratford intersection this year in anticipation of development of that particular area,and miscellaneous other items in regard to modification to the water system;most will be taken care of by the developer,and the city's expense regarding the pressure reducing valve at the end of Alder Street fill;so we might be talking about another $4,000 to $5,000 in costs,and along with that,the city making some improve ments at this point in time because it is convenient,it could end up costing $40,000 plus. Chet Waggener asked Jerry Fay,-with the residential development that would be happening in Krtoils Vista now and in the future,is the Stratford Road traffic signal fairly obsolete at this point? Jerry Fay concurred it was,and added that it will be necessary within this year to upgrade this signal regardless of these developments.Do have some money in the budget to do some preliminary work in anticipation of the development,but not knowing exactly 'then how much participation we will get from the developers. Eric Skaug inquired a3 to who is responsible for the water/sewer hook-up for on-site installation of pipes.Is this something the City does at the expense of the developer,or do they contract and hive this work done privately? Jerry Fay stated it Is totally ;the responsibility of the developer and done privately,subijectto city Inspection. Motion by Hill to accept the Environmental Impact Statement,if the developer can submit a plan that meets the satisfaction of the City Administration.Second by Jones.Motion carried. REQUEST TO BUILD ON UNPLATTED PROPERTY -K-MART - RESOLUTION NO.752 Aletter was read from City Planner Stan Bech,stating the Planning Commission at their special meeting y^P^/j on March 18,1976,recommended to the City Council that the developers of the proposed K-Mart Shopping Center be granted permission to begin constriction on unplatted property.The preliminary plat for the proposed K-Mart development has been approved.The reason for K-Mart request Is,-they desire to 2332 4! m City Council Meeting Minutes:4 March 23,1976 proceed with construction of required utilities and coincide that with construction of proposed buildings on the site.This permission to build on unplatted property will require a bond to cover the cost of all required utilities.Recommendation was made that this request to build on unplatted property be granted,provided the required bond amount is received by the City Treasurer prior to issuance of any building permits. Stan Bech added that changes will need to be made in the resolution regarding the conditions. The following conditions should be added: 1. All landscapingas shown on the development plans shall be completed; 2.On-site storm drainage system shall be completed to the satisfaction of City Staff and the storm drainage system,including minimum of pollutants into the lake; 3.A new pressure reducing valve shall be installed on Stratford Road; 4.Participate in signal cost at Valley Road and Stratford Road;and shall bear all costs associated with their "Leg"of intersection; 5.They shall provide channelization in parking lot at the main entrance and the Intersection of Valley and Stratford Road,so as not to cause congestion at the Intersection; 6.All required water and sewer lines shall be extended to the North boundary of the plat in accordance with City of Moses Lake specifications;and 7.Sidewalks as shown on development plans shall be installed It was the consensus of the Council to set the amount of the bond at $100,000 to cover the cost of completing all minimum utility requirements,and also insert that in the resolution to Confirm the amountof bondrequired. Mr. Leasureconcurredthe bond figure would be acceptable to Stand- Diversified. The resolution was read by title only.Motion by Hill to adopt the resolution with the changes of changing the wording in the first one listed from 'building'to "platting";stipulate $100,000 bond requirement to cover the cost of completing minimum utility requirements;and to add the foregoing conditions recommended by staff,all as part of the resolution.Second by Barney.Motion carried unanimously. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT -DAY CARE CENTER A letter was read from City Planner Stan Bech,stating the Planning Commission,at their regular meeting of March 11,1976,recommended to the City Council that the Peninsula Evangelical Methodist Church be granted a Conditinal Use Permit for operation of a day care center at their church site in their old church building located at 2403 West Texas Street,Moses Lake,Washing ton,located across from Peninsula School. Conditional Use Permit granted to Peninsula Evangelical Methodist Church to operate a day care center in their old church building at 2403 West Texas Street.(M/S Hill/Moe -passed unanimously^. SPRING SWIMMING POOL SCHEDULE The Park &Recreation Director,Cecil Lee,submitted the following recommendations from the Park and Recreation Commission relating to the 1976 Swimming Program: 1. The Commission recommencfs"that the City open and operate a May swim program for the Moses Lake School District,Big Bend Manta Ray Swim Team and City program purposes with out charge to the School District and the Manta Ray Swim Team. In years past the School District and the Manta Rays have paid a flat fee based upon the time used.The recommendation was based on the philosophy that operating cost would be relatively low when compared to the high benefit received by the community. 2.The Commission also recommended the Big Bend Manta Ray Swim Team be allowed to swim throughout the summer at Swedburg Pool during the hours the pool would not normally be used by the public at the cost of one dollar.In years past each Manta Ray team member was required'.to purchase an Individual season pass. Also submitted was a cost analysis for implementing a May swimming program resulting in 28 addition al operating days for the above purposes (May 1 -May 28,1976),showing expenses for that period estimated at $1,430 with possible program revenues at $375,leaving a total cost to the city for that May period at $1,055. Bob Hill inquired what has been the income previously from these two groups?Cecil Lee stated $200 from the Manta Rays and $450 from the School District for the Spring Program. Cecil Lee added a few points,stating that on the May Swim program,in order to fully utilize the swimming pool for a May program the School District must be Included because that would be the bulk of the use.It would be wasteful not have them included;the basic reasoning is of course because the school levy has gone down and they do not have funds to participate in this swim program. There would be about 300 people involved in the school program;a good portion of the PE program would be around the swim pool.The Manta Rays consist of 40 to 60 people,and during the summer their practice period is during the time the pool is not in use by the public.Any other time a member pays by use of a season pass. 2333 City Council Meeting Minutes:5 March 23, 1976 There was discussion by the Council on the merits of these programs to help young people to get interested Inswimming,as well as what the programs can do for the community,and not consider the revenue as a big issue,versus subsidizing only certain groups and setting such a precedent. Motion by Hill,second by Moe the recommendations be denied.Motion carried.Opposed by Barney OTHER ITEMS FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION Stratford Road Two-way Left Turn Lane/Broadway Avenue Two-Way Left Turn Lanes: Fublic Works Director Jerry Fay submitted a letterfor Council consideration regarding with the ///7 construction of the proposed developments in the Knolls Vista area,traffic volumes and turn move ments will increase substantialfyalong Stratford Road,and therefore,requested that Council authorize the removal of the raised channelization and install a 2-way left turn lane from the north end of Alder Street Fill to SR 17 overpass.The cost of this project has been reviewed and is estimated at approxi mately $4,000.$26,000 was allotted for the Broadway two-way left turn lanes,and current estimates indicate a cost of less than $20,000,therefore requested that the Stratford Road project be incorpcrated into the Broadway project. Jerry Fay pointed out the two-way channelization on the map . BobHill inquired,in relation to the earlier discussion with K-Mart, as to where the first northbound cut would be on the curb ? Jerry Fay indicated approximately in the vicinity of the old Basin Communication,although the actual channeliza tion starts at the end of Alder Street Fill and continues to SR 17. Concern was expressed whether allowance provided for left turn lanes into the Knolls Vista would cause congestion in the area.That could be a potential.problem,added Jerry Fay,but the plans have not as yet been finalized and this will need to be worked out.Plans will be developed in detail and again presented to Council,.The request before the Council is to authorize incorporation of Stratford Road project for the availability funds in order to put together :plans and specifications for this project. Motion by Skaug to approve the request.Second by Hill.Motion carried. Codification and Reprinting of Municipal Code: Aletter wasread from the City Manager and submitting a proposed contractwith Book Publishing y/^A}—Company for codification and reprinting the Municipal Code, alongwitha letter from the City /cs/^-> Attorney relating to the need for such codification.$12,000 is provided in the 1976 Budgetfor this project. The City Managerrequested authorization from the City Council to sign the accompanying contract on behalf of the City authorizing review and reprinting of the Moses Lake Municipal Code. Clarification regarding the $14.00 per printed page quoted in the contract was needed. Therefore, motion by Skaug to defer this item until the March 30th meeting.Second by Hill.Motion carried. Banking Procedures: Aletter was read from Finance Director R. R.Gagnler,stating for the last several years it has been / /?/the practice of the City to rotate their banking business on approximately a three year basis with //<fu» the banks located within the city limits.This policy was established when Moses Lake ted only two banks. We row have four full service banks and three savings and loan institutions.Currently our primary banking relationship is with Eastern Washington Bank. If our current policy continues,we would transfer the main account to Rainier Bankwhen our bank paper stock is used up, which wouldbe on or about July I,1976.Aproposal was submitted to discontinue the bank rotation program and consider the following alternatives: A.Continue our banking relationship with Eastern Washington Bank. B.Call for bids from all Moses Lake banks on banking services. RickGagnler added that a policy directive in this matter would be most helpful. Representatives from three banks were presentand urged the council, if theydecidedagainst rotation, to consider item B as the fairest alternative. Motion by Skaug to go to alternate Band give it a chance for three years and just see in fact if a bid procedure would save the city some money on banking services.If it looked like there was norealdifferencein service fees, then maybe we should go backto the automatic rotation.Second by Hill. Bill Moe commented that the fair way would follow through onthe rotation basis and give the banking services to Ralner,since they would be next in line,and then after that three-year period,go to call for bids. The question was called.Motion carried.Opposed by Moe. Rick Gagnler stated he will prepare and bring the specifications for bidding for the council's approval at their next meeting scheduled for March 30th. 2334 9i» l»•/I \$\9 ,0 $0 City Council Meeting Minutes:6 March 23,1976 Council-Staff Workshops -Effectiveness Resource Group "^ At the last Council meeting the Council was informed that workshops had been scheduled with Don Swartz for the dates of April 27 and 28,and for June 28 and 29.Because of a conflict in the June 28 and 29 dates,have checked with Mr. Swartz and tentatively reserved"alternate dates of July 19 and 20th.The July dates will preclude the use of IPA grant money for that two-day workshop,although the funds Involved are not substantial,involving approximately $400.The City Manager asked for a decision from the Council so that he may firm up with Mr. Swartz the April 27 and 28 dates and either the June or July dates at the option of the City Council. He also added the April dates will coverspecific problems relatingto operation of city government, and the latter dates would cover policy directives,much as the staff did last year,regarding the budget. If the Council feels strongly to shift the subject matter of the meetings,that could be done. Motion by Hill to utilize the grant money and stay with the April 27 and 28, and the June 28 and 29dates, and if the subject matter ofdiscussion could be reversed without too much problem,that would be fine,since the June or July dates would be a little difficult for full attendance due to vacations.Second by Jones.Motion carried. COUNCIL QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS Eric Skaug inquired as to the status of the Civic Center Complex? Chet Waggoner responded, theyhada meeting last eveningand will have a report back to the City Council soon.They plan to meet every week now and should be submitting a report to Council possible within the next several weeks. DonSwansoninquired about Well #11. Jerry Fay responded they have made some real progressand right nowrunninga pump test and hope there is maximum quantity and quality of water. CITY MANAGER REPORTS &COMMENTS Revenue Sharing: Chet Waggenersubmitted a report from Association of Washington Cities regardinga survey they conducted of cities and towns in Washington regarding the use of Revenue Sharing funds.Suggested the City Councilread the material. This is materialthe Council might find interesting to read. February Financial Report: Finance Director R. R. Gagnler submitted the city's February 1976 Financial Reportfor the Council'sreview. It appears the revenue and expense estimates are as expected,except for the cash carry forward in the General Fund. Letter from Mechanical Contractor Associations of Washington:Chet Waggener assumed that copies were probably received by the Council as well.If not,basically explained that letter statesthey believe we are in violation of the State BuildingCode by authorizing the use of plastic pipe in commercial type structures being built in Moses Lake and not enforcing the use of cast iron pipe. A letter was submitted to the Council by Building Official Bob Kimball stating it is his interpretation that ABS and PVC pipe are of a quality that permits their use in certain commercial occupancies as designated in the Uniform Building Code.Occupancies that would require cast,are industrial structures that discharge industrial wastes i.e.,chemicals,steam at a temperature of 250 degrees, etc.Each case would have to be studied and analyzed". by the Administrative Authority to determine the difference between industrial and residential effluents. The City Manager added,that perhaps it is more a complaint on the part of the crafts objecting.to use of materials that require less technical expertise than it is a problem of compliance with the Building Code, Census: City PlannerStan Bech ^reported the census is underwayand census takers will be starting March 24th and complete approximately April 2nd. Flve-Year Growth Forecast for the City: Copies of a tabulation were distributed to the Council,and City Manager Chet Waggener stated in working with the Staff have been trying to make some estimates as to what is really going to happen in the community, and this does not anticipate any annexations,only talking as to what may happen regarding growth in the community inside the present corporate limits."*""" He stated we are optimistic about what is going to happen in Moses Lakeover the rext five-years and don't want to indicate to anyone that we think there is going to be a period of really tremendous boom growth.Really don't see that,and don't think we can afford to base revenue estimates assuming that is going to happen.Believe it will be very good steady growth,however.We need to do more work on this growth forecast,but really do not see the necessary follow-up within our local staff to get some of those figures.I am wondering how Important it is to the Council to try to obtain such figures.Discussed this somewhat with the Mayorand possibly he may want to address the Council regarding this. n I U 2335 City Council Meeting Minutes:7 March 23,1976 Mayor Swanson indicated that something of this size,it would probably be best to bring in a consultant on it and run a survey.Others like the Telephone Company and others run surveys. Do not know what a survey of such would cost,that is if it is done by an Economist or Market Analyst.We may get some guidance if we inquire. Chet Waggener added that the survey conducted by Clark,Coleman and Rupleks about ten years or so ago did a lot of things ,it was a statistical compilation,along with trying to predict with what the market area was,and unfortunately it became worthless as it was ready for printing just at the time of announcement of closure of the Larson Air Force Base.Although that type of survey is far more comprehensive than we would need. The Information the City is desirous of would also be important to businesses in the community as well,and certainly to people that are looking at Moses Lake as an investment opportunity. Eric Skaug felt that if we consider the magnitude of some of the projects that we will be considering over the next years,we certainly are going to have to have a good estimate of potential revenues, and particularly our bonding capacity.Think that information would be most important to us right now. Bob Hill commented that he thinks the past reports did not benefit the city very much,only gathering dust on shelves.Chet Waggener added that in referring to the Rupieks report,we have to fee very careful not to go to something as detailed as that. Bob Hill referred to the Environmental Impact Statement put out by the Bureau of Reclamation. It is voluminous,but there are some areas covered of the entire area,but there is some information in it that would be beneficial on the local level. Kent Jones suggested getting information from the surveys of the phone company,the bureau and possibly the PUD, Chet Waggener commented,:that if the Council wished him to pursue this,one of the things he would like to do is discuss it with Bob Hill as to who does the Telephone Company's work. They must know of encornists they know of that do this work,or perhaps some suggestions as to how we can get the information at fairly minimal cost. Bob Hill agreed to get some backup information,"if the Council wished.But before the Council may authorize any procedure to start would be to wait for some action to be taken on the East High, because that would blow any study,if that weren't to start.The City Manager agreed,that was true. Bob Hill offered to assist,and possibly have the Phone Company economists come over and sit down and talk with the Council. Meeting adjourned at 10:50 P.M. The City Council met in Executive Session with the Mayor,Donald E.Swansea ATTEST: J r
