City Council Meeting 01/08/2019 06:30 PM 149 Hodgden Street South, Tenino, WA 98589

WORK SESSION

• 1.The City has initiated the process to update several items in our Municipal Code in order to ease the burden on both Residents and Developers with respect to gaining approval for various land use issues.

  One item is creating the ability to "undo" a lot combination in very specific situations.  What the Administration proposes is the addition of a new code provision that would allow a lot that had been previously combined to revert back to the original, separate, lots when there has been no change of actual conditions on the ground and the lot was combined by the immediately preceding landowner.  This action would not be available if any conditions on the ground would not have been permitted had the lots remained segregated, nor would the action be available if the immediately preceding landowner had not been the one to initiate the action that combined the lots.

  The other item is a change to the allowed uses table for properties zoned Public/Semi Public that would permit the types of activities envisioned to occur at the Southwest Washington Agriculture and Innovation Park.

• 2.The last complete update to the City's Personnel Policy Manual was undertaken in December of 2008.  There have been several Resolutions since then that have not been incorporated into the Policy Manual and there have been major revisions to several Employment Law statutes in the last two years.

  Accordingly, the Administration would like the Council to consider adopting a completely revised Personnel Policy Manual, attached below.

• 3.The Tenino Farmer's Market has submitted their Special Events Permit request for the 2019 season.

  They are requesting a waiver of all fees and deposits.
  
  

• 4.Ms. Rachel Davidson has submitted her application to fill the Position #5 seat vacated by Susan Copeland.

  The Administration has reviewed her application, interviewed her, and desires Council Confirmation of appointment.

• 5.Mayor Fournier has prepared this year's roster of Committee/Commission/Liaison assignments for Council approval.
