• Action: Motion
Staff Report Summary
Community Development has received a request from Mike Norman, Lee/Norman Development LLC, requesting a specific proposed Comprehensive Plan (Comp Plan) Land Use Designation be considered with the 2016 Comprehensive Plan amendments. Mr. Norman’s request is coming in after the March 31st deadline established under Chapter 10, Maintenance of the Plan. Currently, the Planning Division staff are working on the 2016 Comp Plan amendments.
Background
The Growth Management Act (Act) specifies mandatory updates for those Cities and Counties required to
plan under the Act. We amend our Comp Plan on a more frequent basis than what is required by law due
to local conditions and changes in policies and or development. Currently, the City of Moses Lake is in
compliance with the Act and not required to officially review the Comp Plan until 2018.
Comp Plan amendments vary in review and analysis and some, such as UGA amendments that require
coordination between Grant County and the City of Moses Lake. It was the time required to coordinate
between County and City that prompted the March 31st deadline. Both Grant County and the City of
Page 2 of 2
Moses Lake adopted the March 31st deadline for Comp Plan amendments in order to establish some
consistency between Agencies and also provide adequate time to process amendment requests.
Fiscal and Policy Implications

RE: Petition to City Council to amend the Comprehensive Plan
Dear Mr. Williams and Mr. Alvarado,
Lee/Norman Development is the owner of certain real estate located within the Moses Lake City
Limits, a portion of which has been platted (see Recording Number 1254918, pages 1,2 &3,
Book 28 of Plats, Grant County), and is commonly known as "The Greens at Moses Lake Phase
l ". Phase 2 of The Greens at Moses Lake remains un-platted. The entire development was
approved under the City's PURD Ordinances, and governed by Ordinance 2327.
Prior to recording of the plat for Phase 1, the entire parcel was one tax lot numbered 110103000,
bounded on the west by Division Street, the north by 9th A venue, the east by lots fronting Garden
Drive, and on the south by a parcel zoned for multifamily and by a number oflots zoned (at the
time) for single family. The parcel was zoned R3 on its western portion (approximately 40% of
the total parcel and zoned Rl on the eastern remainder. That zoning survives the requirements
imposed by Ordinance 2327. Please see Attachment 1, which shows the parcel's location and
underlying zoning.
The construction, both existing and new, of substantial multifamily projects to the north leads us
to conclude that the best and highest use of the land is multifamily, not single family. However,
the Comprehensive Plan presently stipulates the Rl zoning on the eastern portion of the property.
We would like to request that the Comprehensive Plan be amended to permit a multi-family
designation on the entire parcel. The cutoff date for such requests is March 31 , 2016; and
without the City Council's approval, we cannot move forward with an amendment request.
We therefore request that the City Council approve our applying for an amendment to the
Comprehensive Plan at the next Council Meeting. Should the City Council approve our request,
we will move forward with our Application and Petition to Amend the Comprehensive Plan.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
" Michael D. Norman, Member, Lee/Norman Development, LLC

MOTION
Request to Restore Mural and Repair Estimation
Legislative History: I August 9 2016
I Motion
Attached is a letter from Pa'tricia Jensen addressing the City Council with regards to the Chief Moses mural. The
letter details the history of the mural and the current condition, which has faded with time. Ms. Jensen also
included in her letter an estimate to repair and restore the mural.
Background
In June of 2003, Colleen Trefz, Friends of Chief Moses, approached the Parks and Recreation Commission
about her project to have a mural of Chief Moses painted on the GMAC Realty building owned by Jeff Foster.
The Commission endorsed the project. Following her presentation to the Commission, she approached the City
Council in June of 2003 about the project and funding request. The Council directed staff to work on an
agreement with all parties involved in order to move forward on the mural request. See attached minutes.
After an agreement was drafted and agreed upon by all parties, the City Council in July of 2005 considered a
funding request for $2,500 from the Moses Lake Mural Society. The Council granted the request. See attached
minutes.
Page 1of2
Fiscal and Policy Implications
The proposed request has not been included in the 2016 Budget. If the City Council were to consider the
request, a Budget Adjustment would need to be approved in order to fund the request.

Estimate for restoration of Chief Moses mural
May 4th 2016 by: Patricia Jensen
I created the original mural of Chief Moses in 2004 which was 12 years ago. I used the best quality paint
available. This paint is very resistant to UV rays and to fading. I feel it has held up very well.
I received very limited funding from private and personal and City contributions. I funded a large
amount of this project myself. The mural took 2 years to complete because of this. The contributions I
did receive I am extremely grateful for. The City of Moses Lake contributed $2000. This portion went to
the high quality paint I used. I requested a larger amount for the anti-graffiti top coat and the proposal
was rejected at the time. I am asking that you reconsider a top coat at this time.
We have had an incident of graffiti which was removed, however you can definitely see the damage to
a major portion of the mural on the right side (almost 1/3 of mural). The removal caused areas to be
more exposed in fading.
The City has made this mural a historical monument and has built a beautiful park around it, where
many events held. I am very honored by this. It is now a major icon to the City of Moses Lake.
I am requesting funding for the repair of the mural and a anti-graffiti topcoat applied. The topcoat is an
additional UV protection and its primary function is anti-graffiti layer made to be easily cleaned. This will
allow any further graffiti can be cleaned off without damage to the original painting.
The top coat anti-graffiti has to come from the same company who distributes this paint, otherwise
there will be damage to original painting. This product is not readily available and in limited quantities.
The Seattle supply house can gather from several states to get what we need. The company will need
this money before they order it.
I am submitting an estimate of repair to mural as well as top coat I would like you to consider.
The repair to the mural is not as easy as just painting the areas of damage. The paint has held up well
however the same color applied to the area will not match completely. The paint has faded some and a
fresh coat will look unfinished and incomplete. The area has to be blended to match (1/3 portion). I will
also touch up and match other portions of the mural that may need it.
Mural restoration including paint and labor
$5,500 +tax $434.50 total -$5934.50
Anti-Graffiti top coat
cost of paint $1421.28
labor I Prep of wall/ application $600.00
total cost oftop coat $2,021.28 +tax $159.70 = $2,180.98
Total estimate with restoration/repair and topcoat $8115.48
I am currently residing in Phoenix and have for the last 10 years. I will be in Moses lake June 28th for 4
weeks regarding other matters. I would consider completing this work at that time if it is at all possible.
I would like to avoid any travel costs I may incurred if it is pushed out to the future.
I would like to thank the City Council of Moses Lake for taking time to consider this proposal.
Sincerely,
Patricia Jensen

Sinkiuse Sguare Mural
Colleen Trefz, Friends of Chief Moses, informed commissioners of her project to have a mural painted on
the side Jeff Foster's building that runs along Sinkiuse Square. Mrs. Trefz showed commissioners a
rendering of the mural and stated she would like to dispel the 'Moses Hole' perception and create spots of
interest throughout the community. She noted that the Colville tribe was honored to have Sinkiuse Square
named in their honor and to have the history of their people portrayed in the mural. Mrs. Trefz introduced
Patty Jensen, artist of the rendering and proposed mural. Mrs. Trefz stated the Friends of Chief Moses is a
legal entity and is working to secure funding for the project.
Mrs. Jensen stated she met with elders of the Colville tribe, direct descendants of Chief Moses, to create a
mural that would give the history of their people and show how they survived in this area. Mrs. Jensen spoke
with Pete Erickson and Wayne Rimple, Moses Lake Rotary, who felt the mural would tie in with the
historical element of the club's project to redesign Sinkiuse Square. She will meet with Rotary Club
members Monday, June 23, 2003 to inform them of the proposed mural. Mrs. Jensen noted that the tribe
would be offended if the name of the square were changed and hoped Rotary would reconsider renaming
the area.
In response to a request, Mr. Grigg gave a short history of the naming of Sinkiuse Square.
After some discussion it was the consensus of the commission that the project would enhance the
community.
SINKIUSE SQUARE -MURAL
Colleen Trefz, Friends of Chief Moses, stated that they would like to paint a mural on the side of
the GMAC building facing Sinkiuse Square. The mural would depict the history of this area and
would also honor Chief Moses. The cost of the project is about $15,000 and they requested the
city participate in the project by contributing the initial $2,000.
Mr. Blackwell pointed out that the Rotary Club will be making improvements to Sinkiuse Square and
this mural is being discussed by their Long Range Planning Committee.
Mr. Tracy was concerned about completing the project.
James A. Whitaker. City Attorney, stated that there would need to be a contract with the building
owner for the painting of the mural and perhaps a fund set up with the provision that the city would
contribute when a certain amount was reached to ensure that the project would be completed.
There was some discussion and it was the consensus of the Council that it is a good project but
additional information is needed and other funds should be raised prior to the city allocating any
funds for the project.
Action Taken: Mr. Pearce moved the project be reconsidered when a contract is provided between
the building owner and the Friends of Chief Moses and a fund has been established, seconded by
Dr. Covey, and passed unanimously.

Consideration
Ordinance -Amend Garbage Collection Rates
Legislative History:
August 9, 2016
1 Consideration
Council has an opportunity to approve 2016 increases to the Sanitation rates for both
commercial and residential accounts. This increase will keep pace with the increase in contractor
charges and make the fund solvent.
Background
Annually the fee charged by our contractors increases every September 1. For our major
contractor that rate is no less than 1.5%. In 2015 the fund could not keep up with the landfill
costs and operating expenses to the point that a $500,000 interfund loan was needed to cover
the shortfall. The rate increase of 10% is needed to pay back the loans and to cover the increase
in operating costs. The increase would raise an additional $300,000 to cover the annual interfund
loan payments of $144,000 and for small unanticipated increases such as yard waste having to be
hauled to the landfill instead of the composting site and to build up the Fund Balance.
Page 1of2
Fiscal and Policy Implications
Passing the ordinance will increase rates of the Sanitation fund to keep pace with the contractor's
fee increase and maintain service.

Consideration
Ordinance-Amend MLMC Chapter 2.44 Park & Rec Commission
Legislative History:
I August 9, 2016
I Consideration
Council has an opportunity to bridge the gap between our local youths and local government by
amending a position on the Park and Recreation Commission. With this amendment, we would
allow a youth representative to serve on the commission, express their opinions and ideas,
participate in the decision making process of the commission, and raise awareness to local youth
of the value of Parks and Recreational Programs.
Background
Historically, the positions for Park and Recreation Commission have been difficult to fill and by
allowing a youth representative to serve on the commission, it would benefit our local young
people and be easier to fill a vacant position as they occur.
