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.

C.     Blaine Avenue Bus Stop Easement - Dean Weyen

The 2009 bus shelter project includes the installation of a shelter on a
parcel owned by the Thompson Family that is currently being leased to
Wells Fargo Bank. The property occupies the southeast corner of the
intersection of Blaine Street and White Avenue. Placement of the shelter
required the acquisition of an easement from the Thompson family to the
City of Moscow. The Thompson family has signed the attached easement as
the property owner, and Wells Fargo Bank has signed the easement as the
property's lessee.  City Attorney Randy Fife has approved the form of
this document.  Reviewed by the Administrative Committee on October 12,
2009.

ACTION:  Recognize and accept the Easement.

buried spare conduit parallel to, and full length of the project, for
future fiber optic cable installation; 3)  Replacing the existing
'temporary' six foot wide asphalt pathway along the Windfall Hills

2.       Mayor's Appointments - Mayor Chaney

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.       Hamilton Lowe Aquatic Center Chlorine Delivery System
Changeover Request - Dwight Curtis

In April, staff was notified by our chlorine vendor that the City will
no longer have access to gas chlorine after the 2009 pool season because
it is extremely dangerous and vendors typically do not make it available
to aquatic facilities.  After in-depth research into the various
options, staff determined that a chlorine tablet system would best suit
the City's needs and conditions.  This chlorine delivery system
changeover is necessary for the safety of staff and citizens alike
because dry chlorine is stable and safe, has a long shelf life, easy to
handle and is friendly to pool water.  This request is for authorization
to purchase two chlorine delivery systems at $2,995 each to be installed
by staff this spring.  The total cost of the purchase and installation
is approximately $10,000.  The FY10 budget (Capital Projects budget
350-165-30-770-74) has $30,000 designated for this system transition.
The changeover will result in an increase in chemical costs which is
expected to be approximately $10,000 more than the amount budgeted.
There will be a corresponding savings of $3,000 in safety supplies.
Reviewed by the Administrative Committee on October 12, 2009.

ACTION:  Authorize staff to proceed with chlorine delivery system
changeover and purchase of two units PPG System 3070AT from Brody
Chemical at $2,995 each or take such other action deemed appropriate.

5.       Draft Snow Season and Proclamation Ordinance - Dwight Curtis

At the direction of the Public Works/Finance Committee, the Snow Removal
Task Force recommended the attached Ordinance which establishes certain
streets as Snow Route streets where parking would be prohibited during
the time period established by a Snow Removal Proclamation issued by the
Mayor.  Failure to remove vehicles from such Snow Routes during the time
period established by a Snow Removal Proclamation could result in towing
and/or issuance of a parking infraction ticket.  The Mayor may issue or
rescind a Snow Removal Proclamation at any time.  The Council may
rescind a Snow Removal Proclamation at any time by a majority vote.  The
draft Ordinance was discussed and considered at Public Works / Finance
Committee October 12, 2009.  

ACTION:  Approve Ordinance 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.
