NON-AGENDA ITEMS AND PUBLIC QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS
HANSEN -SEWER
Gilbert Alvarado, Community Development Director, stated that Mick Hansen is proposing to plat a 40 acre
parcel of property located on the south side of 1-90 across from the Moses Lake Golf Course and Country
Club. The City does not have sewer and water to this property and extending those services is not anticipated
within the next 5 years. The Council previously granted a request to build on unplatted property without the
requirement to plat. The property is now being platted and the platting process requires that plats be served
with City sewer. Since sewer is not available, the developer is requesting a change to the Municipal Code to
allow an exception to the requirement to serve new plats with City sewer.
Mick Hansen, owner of the property, stated that he would like to divide the property for sale but to do that the
property has to be platted and the platting process requires that the property be served with City sewer. He
pointed out that the property will probably never receive City services since it is adjacent to the 1-90 clover leaf
and is surrounded by government owned property.
It was the consensus of the Council that staff draft an amend the language in the wastewater regulations that
will permit this project to proceed.
COUNCIL QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS -None

RE : Grant County Fairground Wastewater Discussions
Dear Mayor Dean and City Council:
The Board of Grant County Commissioners appreciated the opportunity to meet with the
Moses Lake City Council, Mr. Gavinski, and Ms. Kenison, last Wednesday, in an effort to
resolve and complete an agreement which would allow the County to dispose of the
Fairgrounds wastewater through the City's sewer system. The State Department of Health has
granted the County an extension to April 30, 2015, for the selection of a sewage treatment
option. The DOH is in support of the County and the City negotiating an agreement
concerning the sewer connection issue.
It was generally agreed by the parties to work toward an expedited resolution of their
respective needs and to facilitate a good working relationship with regard to this issue. Thus,
the County is writing this letter to the City Council in order for the Council to place the matter
on its agenda for the upcoming March 1 oth meeting. The County is proposing that the parties
complete an lnterlocal Agreement for the purpose of connecting the Fairgrounds wastewater to
the City's sewer system, without annexation of the property into the City of Moses Lake.
Specifically, the County has asked that the City waive or exempt the County from being
required to submit to the City's annexation policy for the purpose of allowing the County to
hook up with the City's sewer system.
The County is in the process of contacting other Washington counties which have entered into
similar agreements with cities or towns that have county fairground property within city limits;
e.g., Kittitas, Yakima, Spokane, Snohomish, and Benton Counties. The County will share any
information obtained with the City as soon as it is available.
The parties discussed, but did not specifically come to an agreement on, the exact location of
the site of the hook-up with the City's sewage system on Paxton Drive. The County would

propose that the hook-up occur from Paxton Drive running inside the north boundary line of the
Fairgrounds property (running east to west). The County understands that the City desires
having the sewer line run from Paxton to the "Gold Gate", located in the northwest corner of
the Fairgrounds property. This would allow for future growth and/or potential annexation of the
Airway Drive area into the City. The County would agree to grant an easemenUright of way to
the City to allow the City access to the proposed line, after installation, for the purpose of
maintaining the sewer system.
The pipeline will be installed pursuant to all applicable regulatory requirements. The
County will need to tap into the line for the purpose of providing additional infrastructure,
vis-a-vis, placing additional pipelines from the City sewer line, to service the
Fairgrounds property. The County shall bear the costs of installation. The City shall
bear the costs of maintaining the main sewer line.
If we have misstated, misunderstood, or failed to address any matters of import, please
let us know right away. We may be most easily reached through our Clerk of the Board
at 754-2011 ext. 2928.
Sincerely,
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

The Public Reserve (P-R) Zone is a special use classification established to provide existing and future areas where public uses, such as, but
not limited to, governmental, educational, recreational, cultural, and other public uses operated by a public entity may be allowed to develop. It
is anticipated that the uses allowed may be unique and may involve a combination of uses not permitted outright in any other zoning
districts. These purposes are accomplished by: 1. Allowing a full range of public uses including parks, schools, community centers, and
governmental facilities; 2. Providing viable options for the adaptive reuse of surplus public facilities provided new uses can be integrated with
the surrounding communities in a compatible manner; and 3. Use of this zone is appropriate for: a. Areas designated public institutional or
public open space in the comprehensive plan; and b. Other sites planned to accommodate public uses allowed in the zone.

Chapter 6.06 of the Moses Lake Municipal Code titled "Rabies Control" is created as follows:
CHAPTER 6.06
RABIES CONTROL
Rabies Control and Vaccination:
It is unlawful to own, keep or harfor within the City bats or any species of animals designated
as unlawful by the Washington State Department of Health pursuant to WAC 246-100-191
by reason of such species being a transmitter of rabies to human beings, including any bat,
skunk, fox, coyote or raccoon, except under circumstances permitted by said WAC
246-100-191, which is incorporated herein by reference.
It is unlawful to own, keep or harbor within the City any dog, cat, or ferret without a current
rabies vaccination. All persons seeking to license a dog or cat, or to keep a ferret, shall be
required to show proof of current rabies vaccination from a licensed veterinarian prior to
licensing and bringing the animal into the City and said vaccination shall be kept current as
long as the animal remains in the City. A durable and traceable rabies tag provided by the
veterinarian shall be securely affixed to a collar and worn by the animal when outside or away
from the owner's home or other enclosure.
Any dog, cat, or other animal that has bitten any person shall be immediately confined at the
animal shelter at the owner's or custodian's expense for a period of not less than ten (10)
calendar days. No animal under confinement shall be released from confinement until such
release has been approved by the Community Services Officer.
It shall be un lawful for the owner of any dog, cat, or other animal that has bitten any person
to destroy such animal before it can be properly confined by the Community Services Officer.
The location of such confinement shall be determined by the Community Services Officer
and shall be at the expense of the owner.
The owner of any animal that has been reported as having inflicted a bite on any person
shall, on demand of a Community Services Officer, produce such animal for examination and
quarantine as prescribed in this section. If the owner, his agent, servant or competent
member of his family, or any custodian of any such animal refuses to produce such animal,
the owner, his agent, servant or competent member of his family, or any custodian shall be
subject to immediate arrest if there shall be probable cause to believe that the animal has
inflicted a bite upon a person and the owner, his agent, servant or competent member of his
family, or any custodian is keeping or harboring the animal and willfully refuses to produce
the animal upon such demand. Such persons shall be taken before a judge of the Municipal
Court, who may order the immediate production of the animal. If the owner, his agent,
servant or competent member of his family, or any custodian of such animal shall willfully or
knowingly secrete or refuse to produce the animal, each day of secretion or refusal to
produce the animal shall constitute a separate and individual violation of this section.
When an animal under quarantine has been diagnosed as being rabid by a licensed
veterinarian, the veterinarian making such diagnosis shall immediately notify the County
Public Health Officer and advise him of any reports of human contact with such rabid dog,
cat or ferret. If any animal under quarantine dies while under observation, the Community
Services Officer or his agents shall immediately take action to obtain a pathological and
inoculation examination of the animal. As soon as a diagnosis is made available, the
Community Services Officer shall notify the County Public Health Officer of any reports of
human contact with the animal. Any animal which has not been inoculated against rabies and
known to have been bitten by a rabid animal shall be humanely destroyed immediately.

B. The Community Services Officer upon impounding an animal shall make a complete record,
entering the description of each animal. If the owner of the animal is known or if the animal
is identifiable by license or other identification, the Community Services Officer shall attempt
to notify the owner within forty-eight (48) hours by service or posting of notice that his/her
animal has been impounded and where it may be redeemed. The reading of a license tag
or the scanning for a microchip shall constitute reasonable attempts to identify the animal.
The City or animal shelter shall not be liable for the failure of a scanner to detect the
presence of a microchip.
C. If the owner is known, the animal shall be held at least ninety-six (96) hours after the attempt
to notify is accomplished. If the owner is unknown, the animal shall be held at least
seventy-two (72) hours after the time of impound. If the animal has been impounded pursuant
7
to quarantine and has not been found to be suffering from rabies, the animal shall be held
at least seventy-two (72) hours after the end of the quarantine period and examination by a
licensed veterinarian.
D. Redemption of impounded animals.
1. Any dog or cat (except dangerous dogs, potentially dangerous dogs, and inherently
dangerous mammals or reptiles), impounded pursuant to the provisions of this
Chapter may be redeemed by the owner or other authorized person upon payment
in full of all legal charges and expenses incidental to the impoundment and boarding
of the animal and by demonstrating that all conditions for the release of the animal
have been met.
2. If a domestic animal is impounded and taken to the animal shelter more than twice
during a twelve ( 12) month period it will be mandatory that a microchip capable of
being scanned by an "AVID" or other equivalent brand microchip scanner be
implanted in the animal before it is released to the owner. The owner of said animal
shall incur all expenses incidental to the microchip process and shall provide written
proof of said process to the animal control authority. The owner or other authorized
person redeeming an unlicensed dog over the age of six (6) months shall pay twice

the first infraction, the owner may be required to surrender the dog to the animal
shelter.

reptile found in violation of this title may be held at the animal shelter at the owner's
expense until adjudication by the court.

forfeited and may be adopted or humanely destroyed by euthanasia at the discretion
of the Community Services Officer, except those animals known to have bitten or
which have been found dangerous or potentially dangerous shall not be adopted.
However, the owner or keeper will remain responsible for payment of all legal
expenses and charges incidental to the impound. If the failure to reclaim the pet
animal is due to the owner's incarceration or incapacity, notification of incarceration
8
or incapacity to the animal shelter will serve to extend the forty-eight (48) hour hold
period by an additional forty-eight (48) hours. The animal may be reclaimed during
that additional forty-eight (48) hour hold period by any person who has obtained the
written or verbal permission of the owner to reclaim the animal, or by any person who
is a legally appointed agent for the owner or keeper. Verbal permission must be
provided by the owner to the Community Services Officer or his/her designee.

impounded animal, an owner or keeper who wishes to contest the impoundment of his/her
animal and/or the assessment of fees pursuant to impoundment, may utilize the following
procedure:
1. The owner or keeper must appear in person at the animal shelter and request the
form for contesting impoundment and fees. If the owner or keeper is unable to

written or verbal permission to another person to act in his/her place. Verbal
permission must be provided to the Director or his/her designee.
2. The owner or keeper or his/her designee must complete the form and sign it under
penalty of perjury.

Confinement of Females in Heat: Any un-spayed female dog in the stage of estrus (heat)
shall be confined during such period of time in a house, building, or secure enclosure, and
such area of enclosure shall be so constructed that no other dog or dogs may gain access

creating a neighborhood nuisance to be removed to a boarding kennel or to a veterinary
hospital. All expenses incurred as a result of the confinement shall be paid by the owner.
Failure to comply with the order of the Community Services Officer shall be a violation of this
provision, and the animal shall then be impounded.
Responsibility of Owner or Custodian:
It shall be the responsibility of the owner or custodian of any animal within the corporate limits
of the City to so control and care for their animal so as to prevent and keep that animal from
being in violation of this chapter. In any proceeding to enforce the provisions of this title, it
shall be conclusively presumed that the owner or custodian of any animal within the corporate
limits of the City is aware of the animal's whereabouts, condition, or method of being treated
and/or maintained.
The owner or custodian of any animal within the corporate limits of the City shall be
responsible for any cost, charge, fee, or expense of any nature incurred by the City in

at large upon any public street, highway, or public place, or upon private property owned by
a person or persons other than the owner or custodian of the dog, within the corporate limits
of the City unless such dog is confined and controlled by a leash, rope, device or cord of such
length as is sufficiently short to allow for the containment and control of such dog. Such
leash, rope, device, or cord shall be of such material and of such size as to insure the
custodian of the dog at the time can control and restrain the dog. Any person who elects to
be at large within the corporate limits of the City with a dog or dogs contained and controlled
by a leash, rope, device, or cord as provided for herein shall be in violation of this section if

be responsible for all expenses of the treatment and of the impoundment. Reasonable efforts
will be made using the licensing records of the City to notify the owner or custodian of any
such animal prior to the animal being treated and impounded. Injured animals may be
destroyed humanely, if it is determined by the Community Services Officer or a veterinarian
that the animal has sustained critical injuries, suffering is extreme, and/or the prognosis for
recovery is poor. The Community Services Officer shall consult with a veterinarian as to the
disposition of injured animals, when the animals' prognosis cannot be ascertained with
reasonable certainty.
