2. Resolution 4144

Chairman Cerino announced the following amendments:
Page 3, Paragraph E: Delete "and Equipment Acquisition Reimbursement
Payment are" and add "and" between Percentage Fees/Leasehold Tax.
Page 23, Exhibit B: should read "to be inserted prior to the Mayor's
Execution.
Page 30: Item 103, under 1-Right column should read "Joint Use"
The above changes were made in response to Council member Rich
Wagner's questions.
Member Peloza inquired if the blanks on Page 13 would be filled in with
the Concessionaire's name and address. HR Manager Fletcher assured
him it would be. On Page 24, Member Peloza requested that PA be
spelled out as Public Address and CCTV be transcribed to Closed Circuit
Television. On Page 31, Paragraph 2, Power, he asked for a clarification.
HR Manager Fletcher explained that the City will invoice the
concessionaire for power use. Member Peloza questioned the lack of
figures on the quotation from Jason Stratton. These purchases are being
made via $275,000 allotment from the City.
Member Norman asked for clarification of Section XVI on page 12. She
was assured that the City can audit the. concessionaire's books. She
expressed her concern as to the City's liability if a person drank too much
Page 2
or suffered food poisoning. The concessionaire is required to carry
insurance and has safeguards in place to prevent this type of happening.
On Page 6, she asked if the entire $275,000 wasn't spent on items in
Exhibit D, shouldn't the Council have to authorize- any other use of the
funds. Since all the items purchased with this money becomes property of
the City, no further approval is needed. She suggested anon-compete
clause be added to the agreement to prevent the concessionaire from
opening a new business too close to the present site. It was decided this
clause was unnecessary since there is no commercial property available
in the area and another restaurant would provided more revenue for the
City.
Member Peloza moved to approve the Resolution and forward it to
Council for approval. Member Norman seconded the motion. Chair
Cerino concurred.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY, 3-0.
V. INFORMATION/DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. Animal Control and Rescue
HR Manager Fletcher distributed an updated memorandum with current
numbers from King County Animal Control. Basically some numbers went
up, others went down and annual costs comparison results were almost
the same as the original. At the present time many citizens do not contact
animal control because of the slow response time or the lack of response.
An Animal Control Officer would help improve public relations and the
licensing fees would increase the City's revenue.
Member Norman asked how many dangerous dogs have been registered
in the City in compliance to a recently passed ordinance. HR Manager
Fletcher will research and email the results to the Council members.
Member Peloza requested a full first year cost to the City, including salary,
vehicle, and equipment. He asked Police Chief Kelly his opinion on the
option of arming an Animal Control officer. Chief Kelly stated the officer
should not be armed with a gun but use other weapons such as OC spray.
As there were no more questions the committee concluded their
discussion.
NOTE BY SCRIBER: The next four Resolutions were treated as one item of
discussion by Administrator Osaki.

allow the voters to decide whether or not they wish to become part of the
