	ACTION:  Recognize the City Engineer's proposed assessment roll and
set a public hearing for Tuesday, February 18, 2003, at 7:30 p.m. to hear
and deal with protests and adopt an assessment roll by ordinance.

		F. 	Farm Lease Agreement with Sherman Clyde - Randy Rice
	The City has completed its purchase of the 45-acre Clyde property
located south of Sand Road and west of Highway 95.  The original purchase
agreement allowed the City and Mr. Clyde to negotiate a continuing farm
lease once the purchase was completed.  The attached document allows Mr.
Clyde to continue farming the property in return for his continued
maintenance of the site during the remainder of the year.  Reviewed by
Administrative Committee January 13, 2003.

			ACTION:  Authorize the Mayor's signature on the
lease agreement.

	G. 	Skyer Schlueter Request to Waive Public Improvements on N.
Polk  - Dean Weyen
	Skyler Schluter owns a five-acre vacant lot on the east side of
North Polk within the City limits.  A single family residence is being
proposed to be constructed there.  Schluter requests waiver of the
requirement to construct Polk Street public improvements along the
property's frontage.  Those improvements would consist of pavement widening,
curbs, sidewalk and culverting Hog Creek.  Reviewed by Public Works/Finance
Committee January 21, 2003.
		
	ACTION:  Deny the request.

	H. 	Vacation of Permanent Easement for Hampton Inn Site - Dean
Weyen
	A 20-foot wide public utility easement that Hampton Inn developers
granted to the city for a public water main and fire hydrant is no longer
needed because the design and location of these required improvements have
been changed. Reviewed by Public Works/Finance Committee January 21, 2003.

	ACTION:  Approve the vacation as the easement no longer serves a
purpose.

              I.  	Memorandum of Understanding with University of Idaho
for Effluent Filtration Study - Mark Cook
	During the latter part of 2002, University of Idaho and Moscow staff
finalized a request for proposals seeking engineering consultant assistance
evaluating potential effluent filtration options for the wastewater
treatment plant.  The University of Idaho and City staff have been working
concurrently towards a new permit and phosphorus compliance at the
wastewater treatment plant.  Reviewed by Public Works/Finance Committee
January 13, 2003.

	ACTION: Authorize the Mayor's signature on the Memorandum of
Understanding.

	J. 	Fire Station #3 Agreement - Don Strong
	Fire Station #3 was designed to meet the City's fire suppression and
emergency medical services needs and to accommodate storage of equipment for
Moscow Rural Fire District.  The attached agreement describes the financial
participation of the MRFD toward the construction of the station and the
annual operating costs.  The agreement has been negotiated with the MRFD
Commissioners.  A straight-line depreciation was preferred and this
agreement was re-drafted and sent back to the MRFD for consideration.  The
MRFD has reviewed the document and it is now ready for council
consideration. Reviewed by Administrative Committee January 21, 2003.

		ACTION:  Approve the agreement and authorize the Mayor's
signature thereon.

	K. 	Contract with Avista for Incentive Payment for New Pool
Covers - Roger Blanchard
			a.  New Pool Covers 
	In 2002 staff researched the cost of purchasing a cover for the
activities pool at the aquatic center.  The low quote of $16,350 was
received from W.M. Smith and Associates of Ellensburg, Wa. And included the
covers, winders, and freight.  The simple payback in energy savings gained
from using the covers is around 1.75 years, qualifying the City for an
incentive payment for implementing the energy savings measure, of one-half
the cost of the covers or approximately $8,175.00.  To receive this payment,
the City must enter into a contract with Avista.  Reviewed by Administrative
Committee January 21, 2003.
       		b.  Eggan Youth Center 
	In spring 2002, two new HVAC units were installed in the Eggan Youth
Center.  Staff coordinated with Avista on the replacement of these units
insuring that we would qualify for Avista's incentive program for
implementing energy efficiency measures.  We recently received an energy
efficiency agreement which entitles the City to an incentive payment of
approximately $3,173.00 for that work.  Reviewed by Administrative Committee
January 21, 2003.
	

			ACTION:  Approve the agreements and authorize the
Mayor's signature thereon.

2. 	Comprehensive Plan Map Land Use Designation Amendment and Rezone
Consideration for Latah County Courthouse and associated properties, the
First Presbyterian Church and associated properties, the Moscow High School
and associated properties, and the 1912 Center and associated properties -
Joel Plaskon
		The applicants' proposal to amend the Comprehensive Plan Map
Land Use was approved by Resolution 2003-01 during the January 6, 2003
Council Meeting.  The applicants also propose to amend the Zoning
Designations of six parcels generally described as being located east of
Jefferson Street, west of Polk Street, south of Second Street and north of
Sixth Street.  The subject properties currently host the Moscow School
District High School, the Latah County Courthouse, the City of Moscow's 1912
Center and the First Presbyterian Church.  Five of the subject parcels are
proposed to be changed from Multiple Family Residential (R-4) to General
Business (GB) and the remaining parcel from Residential/Office (RO) to
General Business (GB).  These zoning amendments would allow the applicants
to continue and potentially expand their respective uses as permitted uses
instead of special, conditional, or nonconforming uses as they currently
exist. 

	ACTION:  Reject ordinance; or consider ordinance on second reading;
or approve ordinance under suspension of the rules requiring three complete
and separate readings and that it be read by title only, and authorize the
Mayor's signature thereon; or take such other action as deemed appropriate. 

3.	Personnel Issues, Salary Survey - Leslie Moss
	On Monday, December 9, 2002, Council attended a compensation
workshop with BDPA, Inc. to discuss the proposed compensation and job
evaluation plan.  The issue was brought before Council at the December 16,
2002 Council meeting where it was moved by Busch and seconded by Thomason to
implement the 1% Cost of Living Adjustment effective October 1, 2002 and to
revisit some of the other issues at the second meeting in January.  In the
interim, it was suggested to hold a public meeting to help alleviate some
misunderstanding on the part of the public and to address citizen concerns.
That meeting was held Wednesday, January 15, 2003.

	ACTION:  Recommended actions: 
	A.  Compensation:
		1.	Accept salary survey data..
		2.	Adopt a job evaluation plan that establishes
internal equity, external competitiveness and the kinds and levels chart.
		3.	Direct staff to implement the new pay program with
funds budgeted for implementation.
		4.	Direct a new pay for performance plan effective for
fiscal year 2004.
	B. Employee Benefits and Leave Guidelines
		1.	Authorize conversion of vacation hours for seven (7)
exempt employees to 240 hours as allowed by City of Moscow Personnel Policy
(attached).
		2.	Direct staff to organize a policy committee to
review and redesign certain City of Moscow Personnel policies which are the
guidelines for vacation accrual, administrative leave, overtime compensation
and other benefits and compensation policies.

4.	Set Meeting Dates for February Meetings - Gary J. Riedner
		The third Monday in February, which is the normal meeting
date for the Council's February Special meeting, falls on Presidents' Day,
also a Federal, State and City holiday. City Code Section 2-2-1 states that
in the event a Council meeting falls on a holiday the Council will convene
on the following day which is not a holiday, or on Tuesday, February 18,
2003.

		ACTION:  Set meeting dates for February Special meeting for
Tuesday, February 18, 2003, or take other action deemed appropriate.
