VI. A. Admission Tax Policy Clarification - Kurle and Wisner asked
for further clarification of the policy. Craig stated he
objected to the principal of the policy because he hated to
see an exemption get started because the Council could be
accused of favoritism. Hitchcock wondered how you would
know when they were having a tournament. MOTION by Larson,
SECOND by Lea, that a policy be adopted with respect to
admission taxes that would exclude from taxation special
events that are bid throughout the general area where the
tax would place local merchants at a competitive disadvan-
tage, and, further the waivers would be processed through
the Finance Committee. MOTION DEFEATED five to two with
Hitchcock, Colburn, Craig, Kurel and Wisner voted NO.
B. Fire Station Construction Schedule & Fire Station Architect
Selection (Item IV G 2) - Colburn reported on the joint
committee meeting of the Building and Public Safety
Committees and asked for any comments from the Council.
Hitchcock noted the Public Safety Committee concurred with
suspension of the construction schedule on March 31st
instead of April 1st so the Committees could take another
look at it. He expressed concern over proceeding cautiously
so future needs can be looked at. Craig felt there should be
a handle on the requirements before an architect is hired.
Kurle said they had talked the subject of requirements over at
great length and it was one of the reasons the schedule was
approved until March. He noted the criteria in selecting an
architect had nothing to do with the requirements of the
fire stations and that it had more to do with the experience
of the architect. Larson said the requirements were basi-
cally pretty well defined and the type of architect they
would be looking for would he one with considerable
experience. Wisner wondered if sometimes an experienced
architect created a problem of having the answers before the
City even had the questions.
Colburn stated he was beginning to see the need to have
input from the entire Council and possibly a consultant may
be the solution in helping get the requirements. Hitchcock
concurred with having a third party involved. He suggested
the matter be referred back to the joint committee to
investigate with the aid of the staff to get figures on
possibly getting a consultant. Larson noted the City

SECOND by Hitchcock, to authorize return of $11,214. 37 from

cation of $1,000. 00 from the General Fund for the Auburn Way
