Mr. Dave McDonald, Director of Community Development, stated that Mr. Richard Ryder applied to have the zoning of his property changed from C-1 to C-3 to bring land use into conformity with zoning and to allow expansion of his mini-storage business. The Planning Commission recommended the rezone with a concomitant agreement that excludes heavy equipment sales and services in a C-3 zone. The property owner must be required to participate in any future LID for street right-of-way improvements, including the opening of 24th to Lewis Street. Mr. Ryder was reluctant to sign such an agreement, and as of this date, he had not indicated a willingness to do so. If the agreement is not signed, there will be no zone change. Mr. Hendler moved to accept the Planning Commission recommendation to rezone the Ryder property from C-1 to C-3 with Concomitant Agreement and grant the applicant an additional week to sign said Agreement.

Boston and Seconded by Mr. Garrison. Motion carried. Smoking Rule at City Hall. Mr. Hendler moved to authorize and direct the City Manager to provide a designated smoking room in the basement of City Hall and expend up to $6,000 for such purposes. Seconded by Mr. Kilbury. Mr. Kilbury stated he felt the Council was "sticking their noses in the City Manager's business" as this was an internal problem and should be handled administratively. Further, what are you going to do with other City buildings? Mr. Hendler replied that it was the responsibility of personal rights to provide an area where smokers could relax without having to go outside in adverse weather conditions. He felt it was important to create a good attitude among employees. Mayor Jackson, an admitted smoker, stated he was not allowed to smoke at his workplace; therefore, he had to recognize the changing times that people wanted to work in a smoke-free environment. He felt he couldn't justify the expenditure and Agreement to Hire Chen Northern for Inspection on Rd 68 Water Tank Construction. Mrs. DeFelice moved to approve the Agreement with Chen Northern Engineering and Testing for construction inspection of the Road 68 Water Storage Facility and, further, authorize the Mayor to sign the Agreement. Seconded by Mr. Hendler. Motion carried. IISupplement No. 1 to Old Bridge Removal Engineering Contract. -3- oe ayor 4 MINUTES REGULAR MEETING PASCO CITY COUNCIL SEPTEMBER 17, 1990 also felt the Council was encroaching on the City Manager's responsibility. Mr. Hendler replied that there was no reluctance to spend $23,000 on Goodwill Games flags, so he felt $6,000 was peanuts to provide an area where employees and guests could be comfortable. The City Manager reiterated that he couldn't justify the expense for 4 - 6 smoking employees. Mr. Garrison stated he had received more negative calls on this issue than any other subject since he took office. Therefore, he would have to vote no. Mr. Jensen felt this was not a council issue and the cost could, potentially, be $6,000 per facility. That could be costly when you consider the number of buildings the City owns and operates. Motion FAILED by roll call vote of five (5). Mr. Hendler voting yes. MISCELLANEOUS - INCLUDING SUGGESTIONS FROM COUNCIL: Joint Meeting with School Board.
