HREFERRALFROMPLANNINGCOMMISSION-SCOPE OF WORK FOR COMPREHENSIVE I
PLAN I *
yPpp Aletter was read from the City Manager,ChesterL.Waggener,stating
^that the City Council included an item in the 1969 budget to provide for
contractual services toward work on a Comprehensive Plan for the City
of Moses Lake.The contractual service was included in lieu of the previous
full time planning position which was eliminated in the 1969 Budget.The
Planning Commission has considered a proposed Scope of Work as submitted
by Mr.Rupeiks,of Clark,Coleman and Rupeiks of Seattle,Washington.
Mr.Rupeiks assured the Commission that no duplication would exist as
related to the previous 1965 economic base study,only updating it for current
conditions,and the basic research proposed is necessary to provide logical
progression with the necessary phases of the comprehensive plan.The
Planning Commission unanimously adopted a motion to accept a proposed
Scope of Work from Clark,Coleman and Rupeiks and recommend to the
City Council that the City Manager be authorized to submit an application
to the Washington State Planning and Community Affairs Agency for "701"
funds to assist in funding.
Mr.Waggener stated it may take at least:six months or longer for t y
approval of the application for funding.The funding involves one-third !
onthe local basis and two-thirds bythe federal government administered [_
through the designated agency.The cost to the City would amount to
approximately $8,000 per year fora period of three years.It was emphasized
that $with a logically developed comprehensive plan we could base our
zoning ordinance accordingly and thus meet changes that exist.The
recommendation by the Planning Commission is authorization to submit
an application for funding which does not commit the City of Moses Lake
in signing contractual agreements at this point.
Dr.Lindell asked that when this is given a final go ahead could some of
the proposed Scope of Work be done through use of our own manpower.
The City Manager said it could,through contributed services,but that the
bulk would be paid out in cash directly for contractual services.He also
u

mentioned that both the City Council and the Planning Commission
would meet on an intermittent basis directly with the firm as the
work progresses.Gordon Ebbert thought it imperative that we give
this serious thought and the ultimate value to the City is what we
should have in mind at this time.
Monte Holm moved to accept the proposal and authorize the City
Manager to submit an application for "701"funds,second by Dr.
Lindell.Motion carried.
Meeting adjourned.
