REGULAR MEETING

City Hall Council Chambers

 206 East Third Street, Second Floor

The Moscow Mayor, City Council and Staff welcome 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 may be placed on the time
allowed for comments.  Citizens wishing to comment on business that 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" in the door pocket outside the City
Council Chambers.  Thank you for your interest in City government.

 

RENEWING OUR FOCUS - At each meeting one City Council member will
present an example of patriotism, humanitarianism, community spirit, or
other inspirational message then lead the group in the Pledge of
Allegiance.  Contact a Council-member with examples to share at future
meetings.

Ron Crumley/Les MacDonald

The City is in receipt of a petition to create a Local Improvement
District (LID) for the purpose of constructing a water main along a
portion of North Polk Street. The petition contains the signatures of
the owners of four of the six properties situated within the proposed
LID boundary, meeting the minimum requirement of 2/3 of the owners in
favor of the district. The Resolution of Intention to Create Local
Improvement District No.135 was approved by Council on June 15, 2009. A
notice of public hearing was published in the Moscow-Pullman Daily News
on June 18-20, 2009 and a copy of the notice was mailed to the owners of
properties comprising the district. The purpose of this hearing is for
Council consideration of any protests of the LID. Local Improvement
District No.135 will construct a water main, hydrants, valves, and water
service connections in North Polk Street.  The LID will be charged for
installation of an 8-inch diameter main and the City will pay to
oversize the main to 12-inches in diameter.  Funds carried over from the
North Polk Water and Sewer District will be applied toward the LID
portion of the project cost.

 

ACTION:  After considering public input, approve the Ordinance creating
LID No.135 under suspension of the rules requiring three complete and
separate readings and that it be read by title and published by summary;
or consider the Ordinance on first reading and that it be read by title;
or reject the Ordinance; or take such other action deemed appropriate.

 

6.       Downtown Parking Implementation Discussion - Les MacDonald

In previous meetings staff has presented an overview of the Downtown
Parking Implementation Committee's recommendations on potential
revisions to the existing parking system.  The topic was discussed at
the May 26th PW/F Committee meeting and at the City Council meetings on
June 1st and 15th.  An open house was held at the request of the PW/F
Committee on June 9th.  At the June 15th Council meeting the Council
directed the topic back to the PW/F Committee to make a recommendation
regarding the original proposed revisions and the possible alternatives
presented at the June 15th meeting in response to public input. The
Committee reviewed the possible options at the June 22nd meeting and
forwarded it back to the Council.

 

ACTION:  It is recommended that the Council address the following
aspects of the proposal and determine how to proceed:  Determine whether
the Council would like to proceed with revisions to the existing
Downtown Parking program.  If so, determine which, if any, of the
Implementation Committee recommendations require revisions.  Identify
preferred revisions.  Determine preferred parking option or define
additional options for City Hall/Jefferson Street lots.  Accept or
reject all or part of the proposed parking program modifications with or
without revisions or take such other action deemed appropriate.
