Stephanie Kalasz

Idaho Code 23-913 prohibits the retail sale of alcohol within 300 feet
of a public school or church except with the approval of the governing
body of the municipality.  Patty's Kitchen would like a waiver from the
City to obtain a beer and wine license.  A letter of support has been
obtained from St. Augustine's Parish, which is the church within 300
feet of the restaurant.  The restaurant is located within close
proximity of other restaurants with beer and/or wine licenses.

ACTION:  Approve the waiver for Patty's Kitchen Beer and Wine License.

C.                 Paradise Path Enhancement Grant Application and
Resolution - Les MacDonald

Idaho Transportation Department receives applications for federally
funded Transportation Enhancement Projects annually by the last day of
January. Staff has prepared an application for funding of a bicycle/
pedestrian pathway from U.S. 95 at Sweet Avenue to S.H. 8 and Blaine
Street. The pathway, if approved, would be constructed in 2008. This
project would complete a pathway system from College Avenue to the east
City limit line and the Latah County Trail. The length of the proposed
construction is 3700 feet (0.70 miles) and staff is in the process of
preparing documents to secure the right-of-way for this path. The
project is anticipated to cost $317,000, requiring a $32,000 match. The
City has the option of committing a cash match or in-house design
services up to the required match or a combination of the two. The City
Council will need to approve a Resolution committing to necessary
funding/match sources and future maintenance.

ACTION:  Approve the Enhancement Grant Application and Resolution.

D.                 Cellular Provider Co-location Agreements with Rural
Cellular - Bill Belknap

The City has been negotiating with Rural Cellular to locate wireless
communications equipment on the Rotary Park and Residence Street water
reservoirs in accordance with the City's co-location policy.  Rural
Cellular proposes to mount three panel antennas and one microwave
antenna on each reservoir in addition to limited ancillary facilites on
the ground at each location.  The lease agreement is for an intial five
year period with the option to renew for upto four additional five year
terms.  The lease agreement is the City's standard agreement has been
reviewed and approved by the City Attorney.

ACTION:  Approve the agreements.

2.         Proposed Daycare Ordinance Changes -Stephanie Kalasz

After taking public input last year, staff began revising the Day Care
Ordinance.  The revision includes provisions related to license renewal,
clarification of temporary licenses, display of a poster and an
administrative fee when extra effort is needed to ensure compliance. 

      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.

3.         Public Hearing for Outdoor Lighting "Clean-up" Ordinance -
Joel Plaskon

On January 18, 2005, the Mayor and Council approved an Ordinance to
adopt new outdoor lighting regulations to be included in the
supplementary regulations of Title 4, the Zoning Code.  The original
outdoor lighting regulations, which exist in multiple sections of the
City Code, have not yet been deleted.  This presents a conflict in the
Code relative to outdoor lighting regulations.  Therefore, staff is
proposing an Ordinance to omit all of the original outdoor lighting
regulations from the City Code.  

            ACTION:  Approve 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.         Ordinance Amending Moscow City Limits - Les MacDonald

Idaho State Code requires that all cities within the State of Idaho
designate their legal corporate limits.  In order to accomplish this, a
new legal description of the corporate limits is developed at the
beginning of the year that incorporates any and all changes to the city
boundary that have occurred during the last calendar year.  The new
Ordinance will amend Ordinance No. 2004-09 establishing and declaring
corporate limits of the City of Moscow, Latah County, Idaho.  Reviewed
by the Administrative Committee on January 24, 2005.

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.
