AGENDA

MOSCOW CITY COUNCIL

Monday, September 20, 2004
7:00 p.m.

City Hall Council Chambers, 

206 East Third Street, 2nd Floor

The Moscow Mayor and City Council welcomes you to tonight's meeting.  We
appreciate and encourage public participation.  For regular agenda items, an
opportunity for public comment is sometimes provided after the staff report.
However, the formality of procedures varies with the purpose and subject of
the agenda item; therefore, the Mayor may exercise discretion in deciding
when to allow public comment during the course of the proceedings and
limitations will be placed on the time allowed for comments.  Citizens
wishing to comment on business which is not on the agenda will be provided
the opportunity to do so as item number 2 after the Consent Agenda.  If you
plan to address the Council, you will find a list of "Tips for Addressing
the Council" on the table outside the City Council Chambers.  Thank you for
your interest in City government.

C.         A Street Design Services Consultant - Les MacDonald

In June of this year, the City Council approved the concept for the proposed
improvements to A Street between Peterson Drive and Jackson Street.  In
order for this project to move ahead, a consulting engineering firm must be
contracted to perform the project design.  Since this project is funded
through ITD, the consultant selection and contract development processes
must meet ITD guidelines.  An option provided under these guidelines is to
select a single engineering firm from an ITD list of pre-approved
consultants and then negotiate a contract scope and budget.  Upon reviewing
the list, staff felt the City would be better served to select a group of
consultants from the list and request Statements of Qualifications (SOQ)
from each.  A Selection Committee consisting of Les MacDonald, Dave Klatt,
Dean Weyen and Joann Mack reviewed the submittals and made a selection for
the top candidate.  The firm chosen was Entranco Engineering of Boise and
Bellevue.  Reviewed by the Public Works/Finance Committee on September 13,
2004.

ACTION:  Approve design consultant selection.

            D.        Surplus Motorola Repeater - Dan Weaver

                        Staff would like to surplus a Motorola MSF5000 100

located a buyer and proceeds will be given back to the City via credit to
account.  Reviewed by the Public Works/Finance Committee on September 13,
2004.

                        ACTION:  Approve surplus of Motorola MSF5000 100
watt UHF repeater station serial number 684CUU0038.

            E.         Resolution Regarding Equal Opportunity Employment
Policies and Procedures in Moscow - Bill Belknap

                        In order to receive Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) funds, communities must comply with certain standards and
policies.  One of these requirements is the adoption of an Equal Employment
Opportunity Policy.  Reviewed by the Administrative Committee on September
13, 2004.

                        ACTION:  Approve Resolution 2004-16.

3.         Public Hearing - Outdoor Lighting Ordinance - Joel Plaskon

The Planning and Zoning Commission has been working for the past two to
three years on the creation of regulations for outdoor lighting.  A draft
ordinance was reported to the Administrative Committee on June 14 and on
August 9, 2004.  The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on
August 25, 2004, at which time they unanimously recommended approval of the
proposed Ordinance.  Reviewed by the Administrative Committee on June 14,
August 9 and September 13, 2004.

            ACTION:  Approve the Ordinance under suspension of the rules
requiring three complete and separate readings and that it be read by title
only; or reject the Ordinance; or take such other action deemed appropriate.

4.         Public Hearing - Ordinance to Establish Consistency with Outdoor
Lighting Ordinance - Joel Plaskon

Staff has identified existing Zoning Code sections which contain outdoor
lighting regulations or references and propose to eliminate them to prevent
inconsistencies relative to the proposed Outdoor Lighting Ordinance and so
that all outdoor lighting regulations will be contained in one Code section.
The Planning & Zoning Commission held a public hearing and unanimously
recommended approval of the related code amendments on August 23, 2004.
Reviewed by the Administrative Committee on September 13, 2004.

            ACTION:  Approve the Ordinance under suspension of the rules
requiring three complete and separate readings and that it be read by title
only; or reject the Ordinance; or take such other action deemed appropriate.

5.         G&G Development, Inc. Lot Division Request - Joel Plaskon

G&G Development, LLC requests the creation of a third lot from two existing
lots located on the north side of Rodeo Drive just east of U.S. Highway 95.
The proposal would both adjust an existing property line and establish a new
and additional property line between two existing lots to create a third
half-acre lot.  The proposed lot is intended to accommodate a relocation of
Global Credit Union.  The subject properties are zoned Motor Business (MB)
and the proposal meets Code requirements for lot size, lot width and access

Works/Finance Committee on September 13, 2004.
