7:00 p.m.

City Hall Council Chambers

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.     "A" Street Supplemental Design Agreement - Kevin Lilly

Welch-Comer and Associates of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, has completed
approximately 90% of the design work for the A Street Stage 2 Federal
Aid Project, which is administered through the Local Urban Program of
the Local Highway Technical Assistance Council.  A supplemental
agreement with Welch-Comer has been negotiated by Staff for unforeseen
design work not included in the original agreement. The bulk of the
supplemental agreement is for additional right of way services. Other
work in this supplemental agreement includes preparation of Utility
Plans, the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, additional approach
work, and replacement of the traffic signal loops at Line Street and
State Highway 8.  The original design agreement with Welch Comer was for
$248,000. The value of the supplemental agreement to complete the design
is $23,700.00. The City's local match rate on these funds is 7.34%,
resulting in a net cost to the City of $1,944.37; however, the City will
be required to make unreimbursed progress payments during the term of
this contract, which will accrue toward our local share of the total
project cost.  Once LHTAC administered federal aid funding for right of
way and construction becomes available, right of way will be appraised
and acquired, and the complete plans, specifications, and estimate
(PS&E) will be submitted to LHTAC with a request to advertise the
project for construction. Due to the current variability of federal aid
funding, it is unknown when this will occur.  Reviewed by the Public
Works/Finance Committee on January 11, 2010.

ACTION:  Approve the Agreement.

D.     Wireless Co-location Agreement with University of Idaho - Jesse
Flowers

Staff has been approached by the University of Idaho with a request to
install a wireless repeater on the Rotary Park Water Tower to improve
coverage of the Bus Tracking System on the East side of Moscow.
Reviewed by the Administrative Committee on January 11, 2010.

ACTION:  Approve the Agreement.

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.       Noise Ordinance Update - Dan Weaver

5.       1912 Center Annual Report - Dwight Curtis/Jenny Sheneman

6.       Public Hearing - Fee Resolution Change for Day Care Facilities
- Gary J. Riedner, Stephanie Kalasz

Due to recent necessary changes to the Day Care Ordinance, staff
recommends changes to the fees associated with day care facilities and
providers.  The changes are primarily due to the requirement of a more
inclusive criminal background check necessary for provider license
renewal and having the facility fee based on the size of the day care
rather than a flat fee.  This change will take some of the burden off of
small in-home day cares that require less staff time.  Large day cares
have more employees and require more staff time to ensure that all
employees remain in compliance with City Code.  Reviewed by the Public
Works/Finance Committee on January 11, 2010.

ACTION:  Approve Resolution 2010-01 amending the fees for day care
facilities and providers or take such other action deemed appropriate.

7.       Corporate Resolution Regarding Investment Brokerage and
Investment Policy - Don Palmer

Finance Staff has been reviewing investments held by firms/banks.  Due
to recent banking and investment staff changes, staff feels the City
needs to further diversify its investment portfolio by adding investment
brokers.  The banks and brokerage firms require a corporate resolution
to be able to transact business.  Staff is proposing a change to the
corporate resolution normally provided by each bank or firm in order to
make transactions easier.  The corporate resolution required by banks
and brokerage firms has been amended to references the City's investment
policy.  Staff is requesting City Council to approve and adopt both the
corporate resolution and the investment policy.  Reviewed by the
Administrative and Public Works/Finance Committees on December 14, 2009
and the Administrative Committee on January 11, 2010.

ACTION:  Approve the Corporate Resolution and Investment Policy
Resolution 2010-02 or take such other action deemed appropriate.

8.       Draft Ordinance Designating Regular Council Meetings as the
First and Third Monday of each Month - Randy Fife

The City has held Council meetings on the first and third Monday of each
month for a number of years, except where such date falls on a legal
holiday.  Currently, where the legal holiday falls on the date of a
regular meeting or special meeting, the regular or special meeting is
held on the following day at seven o'clock (7:00) p.m.  Because there
are only slightly different rules governing "regular" and "special"
meetings and because there does not seem to be a strong reason to
characterize the second Council meeting in the month as a "special
meeting", it is recommended that the third Monday meeting be converted
from a "special meeting" to a "regular meeting".  This was considered by
the Administrative Committee on January 11, 2010.

ACTION:  Approve the 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.
