that outweigh the buffering aspects. Therefore, the site would not
be used primarily as a buffer between land uses, and does comply with
Policy No. 17; and (4y the proposed rezone conforms to Land Use Ob-
jectives No. 1 and No. 2. The motion was seconded by Councilman
Boardman. During discussion on the motion, Councilman Hordyk stated
that he would feel more "comfortable" with this request if it had in-
cluded the entire block; otherwise, the proposed rezone could be con-
strued as spot zoning. On call for the question, the motion was
passed by the Council with Councilman Hordyk voting "N0."
Rezone Request': Taylor
Mayor Haguewood opened the public hearing on Mr, Taylor's request to
rezone 16,000 square feet from RMF to RB, to construct professional
offices on the northwest corner of Second and Laurel Streets, and re-
quested comments or questions from the audience or staff.
Mr. Brooke Taylor submitted photos of the subject property to better
explain its location, and pointed out the mixture of land uses in the
area and how a professional office building would be more compatible
with the mixture and better for the neighborhood than an apartment
house or large motel. Mr. Taylor also commented on the uniqueness
of the subject property and the difficulty in finding available com-
mercially zoned land in the City.
The Council then questioned Mr. Taylor and Planner Carr in regard to
height of the proposed building; what uses are included in a RB zone
and the possibility of a Professional Office zone; available parking;
concerns raised by staff in regard to available commercially zoned
property and the reduction in land which is zoned RMF; the adjacent
property (northern portion of Lot 20) which is owned by Floyd McReevy
and the possibility of including Mr. McReevy's property in the rezone
(Mr. McReevy stated that he would have no objection to rezoning his
property to RB); how this proposed rezone differs from the Chance-
Siemens rezone request (Third & Laurel Streets) which was denied by
the Council at the June 3, 1980 meeting); and what uses would be in-
cluded in a Professional Office zone. After additional comments from
Mr. McReevy, Stan Taylor, and Mr. Carl Gay regarding their support of
this proposal, the public hearing was closed.
Mayor Haguewoad then introduced and read by title Ordinance No. 2093

Councilman Polhamus moved the Council adopt the Foregoing Ordinance as
read by title by Mayor Haguewood because: C1) construction of a prof-
fessional office build=ng would have considerably less traffic and noise
impacts than an apartment building or motel, both permitted uses, based -
on the existing uses immediately adjacent; (2) motels, which are com-
mercial uses, are adjacent to the property rather than residences; (3)
the property is adjacent to both the CSD-2 and CBD zones and because of
that adjacency it is consistent with commercial policies No., 6 and 8 of
the Comprehensve Plan, which plan was adopted since the original zoning
of the property; and (4) the uses allowed by the RB zone are not incon-
sistent with the existing land uses in the area of the rezone. The motion
was seconded by Councilman Quast and carried with Councilmen Boardman
and Buck voting "NO."

to what type of contact .Northern Tier and the City has had with local labor

5. Cont.
Manager Flodstrom also informed the Council that Chief Cleland and County
Jail Administrator Tony Schall have reached an agreement in regard to the
cost to house City prisoners. At the July 15, 1980 regular Council meeting
the County submitted a rate estimate of $45.14 per prisoner per day. After
negotiations, this figure was reduced to $28.54 per prisoner per day, based
on a 50 bed occupancy. If the occupancy of the jail increases, this rate
may be reduced further.
The Council, Chief Cleland and Manager Flodstrom then discussed the feasi='
bility of a large jail population 'occurring in the future, and how the $28.54
rate was derived. Councilman Quast then moved the Council instruct the City
Manager and staff to draw up an agreement on the board and custody of City
prisoners in the County jail for 1980 and draft a preliminary agreement for
1981 for consideration by the Council at budget time. The motion was seconded

Manager Flodstrom reviewed the options which were presented to the Council
at the July 29, 1980 special Council meeting on the City/County legal repre-
sentative at the Trans Mountain hearings. After meeting with the County,
the option most desirable to both parties was cross-deputization of the City
Attorney and Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Craig Knutson so that each individual
can serve both their own agency and the secondary agency in the event one is
absent.
Councilman Buck then moved the City go in-house for their legal representation
at the Trans Mountain hearings, and further affirmatively explore the cross-
deputization of attorneys as explained by Manager Flodstrom. The motion was
seconded by Councilman Polhamus. During discusssion on the motion, the Council
and Attorney Miller briefly discussed the additional personnel which the City '
Attorney's office will need in order to handle the present City work load.

Orton, Section 1 was also amended to read "There is hereby created the "Golf
Course Road Improvement Fund." After a brief discussion concerning return of
the contributions received if Golf Course Road is not improved within seven

communication to the Community Alcohol Council requesting they explore
reasons, ways and means to share equitably with Phoenix House this city's
allocation of alcohol targeted funds, and advise this Council of their
' decision and attendant rationale for the Council's consideration at the
September 16, 1980 regular Council meeting. The motion was seconded by
Councilman Hordyk. During discussion on the motion, the Council discussed
the language in Councilman Buck's motion and the need for an evaluation of
this facility by the Alcoholism Council before endorsement by the City
Council. On call for the question, the motion was passed.

sibly in September, covering animal and animal control related problems.

LATE ITEMS/STAFF REPORTS

on the renovation of the Vern Burton Memorial Community Center. The motion was
seconded by Councilman Duncan and carried. Informed the Council that various
commercial accounts have requested exemption from a portion of the new water
rate ordinance. The portion in question links the water utility rates with the
sewage rates; if there is a marked increase in water consumption (and therefore
rates) the sewer rate increases also. However, several commercial accounts ex-
perience marked increases in water usage during certain months (i.e.Chamberlin
Landscaping) without an increase in sewer usage. The Council discussed this
matter briefly and directed Manager Flodstrom to investigate the matter further
and report~back`to'the Council: ..'Manager Flodstrom also requested direction from
the Councilmin regard to the semi-tent in Swains parking lot and the Derby Days
prizes which are in the Albertson Store parking lot (both in violation of the
present Parking Ordinance). After a lengthly discussion on the advantages and
disadvantages of enforcing the parking ordinance and/or granting special requests,
Councilman Quast moved the staff inform those establishments presently in violation
of the existing parking ordinance that they are in violation, and that the City
recognizes the problem and invites them to a meeting to solve that problem through
an amendment to the existing ordinance. The motion was seeonded by Councilman
Duncan and carried.
Councilman Hordyk: Questioned the Public Works Director in regard to grease
trags in car washes; can they be required? Requested the figures on the replace-
ment cost for L.I.D. No. 203 (Downtown Renovation) from Manager Flodstrom. Asked
Planner Carr when the new Sign Ordinance will'.be ready. Asked where the com-
pressor for the old ice skating rink was stored and suggested it be pu't up for
bids.

August 29, 1980 at the Vancouver PNE to celebrate Good Neighbor Day.

purchase City property with Manager'Flodstrom.

a brief discussion with Planner Carr concerning the hours of the Planning Com-
mission meetings, Councilman Duncan moved that an ordinance be drafted which
