The Moscow Mayor, City Council and Staff welcome you to tonight's

agenda items, an opportunity for public comment is sometimes provided

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 3.  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.

A.     Approval of Minutes of October 15, 2007 - Stephanie Kalasz

B.     Gritman Medical Center West 'A' Street Lot Division Request -

Gritman Medical Center is requesting to divide the western portion of
Lot 1, Block 4 of the Replat of Hatley's Addition to the City of Moscow
to create a new parcel of 1.22 acres from the current 4.69 acre parcel.
They are currently preparing the site for development of medical office

Public Works/Finance Committee on October 22, 2007.

            ACTION:  Approve lot division.

C.     Fountain Construction Easement Agreement Addendum No. 1 - Dean
Weyen

The Fountain's entered into an agreement with the City last July which
allowed the City an easement on Fountain property for the construction
of the new South Sewer Lift Station.  Now that the construction of the
project has had to be delayed a season, an addendum to the agreement is
required to modify the effective period of the construction easement.
Reviewed by the Public Works/Finance Committee on October 22, 2007.

ACTION:  Approve Agreement Addendum No. 1.

D.     Approval of 2007 Grant Allocation - Bill Lambert

At a workshop on October 22, 2007, the City Council heard presentations
from applicants for the City's community grants. The Council reached
consensus on how to allocate the $19,000 grant funding which is being
presented for Council consideration. 

ACTION:  Approve grant allocation.

E.      Resolution for Linda Lane LID - Dave Klatt

This improvement district will construct pavement, curb and sidewalk on
Linda Lane. The 24-foot pavement width, sidewalk on one side only and a
less-than-standard cul-de-sac are issues that were presented to Public
Works Committee on Jan. 22, 2007 and to the Council on Feb. 05, 2007.
The Council concurred that standard develop of this street probably
would never occur due to the terrain and the narrow right-of-way; and
that the proposed design concept constituted an adequate public
improvement for vehicles and pedestrians without negatively impacting
any of the developed properties. Based on this decision, a petition was
circulated among the effected property owners to gauge the amount of
interest. Four of the five non-resident property owners have signed the
petition. This represents 80% of the owners in support of the district.
A 65% figure is required for non-residents to initiate a district.
Reviewed by the Public Works/Finance Committee on October 22, 2007.

ACTION:  Approve Resolution 2007-26.

F.      Resolution for Disadvantage Business Enterprise Program and
Annual Goal - Alisa Stone

A Disadvantage Business Enterprise (DBE) Program has been developed as
part of the requirements for receiving Department of Transportation
funding.  The DBE program's primary objective is to ensure
nondiscrimination in the award, administration of federally funded
contracts and to create a level playing field for DBEs to compete for
these projects.  The Grants Coordinator has prepared a DBE Program with
a .65% DBE participation goal for all Federally-funded projects for the
Federal fiscal year of 2007-08.  The DBE Program, the proposed goal and
its rationale are described in the policy statement and attachments.
The City of Moscow has published a notice of the proposed overall goal
informing the public that the proposed goal and its rationale are
available for inspection during normal business hours at the Moscow City
Hall, Administrative Department for thirty days following the date of
the notice (August 24, 2007), and that comments where accepted on the
proposed goals for forty-five days following the date of the notice
(October 9, 2007).  Reviewed by the Administrative Committee on October
22, 2007.

ACTION:  Approve Resolution 2007-27 for the Disadvantaged Business
Enterprise (DBE) Policy Statement, Program, and the FY2007-08 .65
percent Annual Participation Goal and Methodology for Federally-funded
projects.

G.     Proposed Sister Cities Policy - Gary J. Riedner

The Moscow Human Rights Commission has requested that the City Council
adopt a revised Sister Cities program as contained in the attached draft
policy.  The matter was considered by the Administrative Committee on
June 11, 2007 at which time the Committee requested a review by the City
Attorney.  Randy Fife has reviewed the document and made some minor
changes which were included in the attached draft policy.  On September
24th, 2007, the Administrative Committee sent the draft back to the
Human Rights Commission to clarify the number of cities allowed and
which continents would be applicable.  The Human Rights Commission meet
on October 15th, 2007 and formally moved to have only one (1) sister
city per continent and added Australia and North America in section 3(f)
to the continents.  Reviewed by the Administrative Committee on October
22, 2007.

ACTION:  Approve the proposed Sister Cities Policy.

2.       Mayor's Appointments - Mayor Chaney

ACTION:  Approve appointment or take such other action deemed
appropriate.

3.       Public Comment and Mayor's Response Period (limit 15 minutes)
- For members of the Public to speak to the Council regarding matters
NOT on the Agenda and not currently pending before the Planning and
Zoning Commission or Board of Adjustment, please state your name and
address for the record and limit remarks to three minutes.  Mayor will
respond to comments from previous meeting.

4.       Proposed Noise Ordinance Amendment - Assistant Chief David Duke

This would amend Moscow City Code Tile 10, Chapter 11 regarding the
Noise Ordinance Sec. 11.9.C.  The proposed changes will assist the
Police Department in addressing repeat offenders outside the current 48
hour warning period.  In addition, officers can use discretion at the
time contact is made with the responsible individual on the best process
for immediate cease all noise in excess of limits delineated by the
Ordinance.  The victim will no longer have to be contacted for charges
or sign a citation when the officers are called and observe the
violation.  The changes will directly impact boarding houses where large
groups of people assemble or known party houses with a history of public
nuisance complaints.  Reviewed by the Administrative Committee on
September 10, 2007.  This was considered on first reading during the
October 1, 2007 City Council meeting with instructions for it to be sent
to the Administrative Committee for the opportunity for additional
public comment.  Public input was heard during the October 22, 2007
Administrative Committee meeting.

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

5.       2007 Pool Report - Eric Newell

After the conclusion of each summer pool season, the parks and
recreation department staff presents a summary of the seasons highlights
to the City Council and Mayor. This report will cover expenses,
revenues, attendance, data analysis, and assorted issues from the 2007
season at the Hamilton-Lowe Aquatics Center (HLAC). In the past the City
Council has viewed the HLAC as a public service understanding that there
will likely be some subsidization each year. 

      ACTION:  Accept Report.

6.       Set Meeting Date and Time for Canvass of Votes - Gary J.
Riedner

I.C. 50-467 states, "The mayor and the council, within six (6) days
following any election, shall meet for the purpose of canvassing the
results of the election..."  A date and time needs to be set for
canvassing the votes.  

      ACTION:  Set date and time of meeting to canvass election results.
