Ryder Rezone C-1 to C-3 with Concomitant Agreement (MF#90-18-Z).
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. Seconded by Mr. Garrison. Motion
carried.

The City Manager and Councilman Hendler drew a diagram of bridge
piers and briefly outlined proposed plans depending on funding.
Mr. Hendler concurred it was council's direction to stay within
the 80/20 factor and he was working towards that goal.
Motion carried.

moved to authorize the expenditure of an additional $1,282.45 for
Pasco's share of the contract over-run for the Household
Hazardous Waste Collection Day Project. Seconded by Mr. Hendler.

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

authorize the Mayor to sign the Agreement. Seconded by Mr.

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.
