COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
SEPTEMBER 8, 2014
0:28 COUNCIL BILL NO. 2967 - AN ORDINANCE PROHIBITING RESIDENTIAL
PARKING ON UNIMPROVED AREAS: ALLOWING THE PLACING OF
CITATIONS ON ILLEGALLY PARKED VEHICLES AND PROVIDING FOR
ENFORCEMENT PROCEDURES
McCallum introduced Council Bill No. 2967. Recorder Pierson read the two readings of
the bill by title only since there were no objections from the Council. City Administrator
Derickson provided a staff report. Councilor Ellsworth asked why they couldn't apply
the WDO to the placement of gravel and pavement and was told that the WDO applies
when development permits are issued and right now permits are not required for those
items under the ordinance. Councilor Morris asked the City Attorney if he believes this
ordinance if passed meets legal muster and City Attorney Shields answered that he
believes this ordinance if passed is a defensible ordinance. Councilor McCallum stated
that this is not a safety issue but it is an aesthetic issue and believes staff has brought an
ordinance that is simple, enforceable and would stand up. Councilor Lonergan stated that
he agrees with Councilor McCallum and this has been a long time coming. He added that
he would be in favor of adding a permit process through the WDO. Councilor Morris
stated that his issue is that there are a lot of people in his neck of the woods who this
would affect and he doesn't believe this is something the City should be tied up in.
Councilor Alonso Leon concurred with Councilor Morris and wonders if this could be
postponed so more community members can be aware of the impact of this ordinance and
have a chance to comment on it. Councilor McCallum stated that the information has
been out there and now it is up to the Council to make the decision. On roll call vote for
final passage, the vote was 3 -2 with Councilors Morris and Alonso Leon voting no.
Mayor Figley declared that since this is an ordinance it can only pass by unanimous vote
at the first meeting in which the bill was introduced and read, this bill will be brought
back to the Council at the next regular meeting for final action.
1:06 COUNCIL BILL NO. 2968 - A RESOLUTION APPROVING TRANSFERS OF
FY 2014 -2015 APPROPRIATIONS AND APPROVING A SUPPLEMENTAL
BUDGET
McCallum introduced Council Bill No. 2968. Recorder Pierson read the bill by title only
since there were no objections from the Council. On roll call vote for final passage, the
bill passed unanimously. Mayor Figley declared Council Bill No. 2968 duly passed.

1:15 NORTH BOONES FERRY ROAD TRUCK TRAFFIC
Councilor McCallum says he is in favor of the second option and Councilor Lonergan

in front of the school. Lonergan/Ellsworth... authorize the City Administrator, on

motion passed unanimously.
