City Council Meeting 06/23/2020 06:30 PM 149 Hodgden Street S, Tenino, WA 98589

WORK SESSION

• 1.Retail Lockbox has proposed an amendment to our agreement under which all costs for the acceptance of credit/debit cards for the payment of utility accounts will be borne by Retail Lockbox

• 2.The Administration proposes the formation of a working group for the purpose of conducting an in-progress review of the City's COVID-19 Relief Grant Program.
  
  

  Of concern is whether the program is meeting the needs of the community and, if not, what can be done to improve on that aspect.  Another concern is the valuation of our scrip and whether the final disposition as written should be changed to include alternate disposition instructions to accommodate changing financial conditions.

  The proposal includes the suggestion that the working group be composed of members of the City Government, the Tenino Chamber of Commerce, the Thurston Economic Development Council, Experience Olympia and Beyond, and the public.

• 3.The Administration would like to engage the City Council on the current status and focus of the Tenino Planning Commission with a view toward opening a change window to update the City's Comprehensive Plan.
  
  

  Up until very recently, the Tenino Planning Commission has been focused on educating the Commissioners about the Growth Management Act and related specialty topics to better prepare the Commission for deliberations centered around such a proposed change to the City's Comprehensive Plan.

  The Administration has had conversations with the Chairman of the Commission, as well as with the contracted planner from SCJ Alliance, to begin considering a number of identified concerns with the current plan; the incorporation of possible zoning changes; possible changes to either the UGA, the City Limits, or both; and the addition of both an Economic Development Chapter and the incorporation of the ARCH Commission/Creative District.

• 4.Director Cannon has prepared his recommendations for this year's update to the Six-Year Street Plan.

• 5.The Administration has been working a renewal of the Comcast Franchise Agreement for several months and have finally reached the point where the agreement is ready for adoption by ordinance.

  The Risk Management Service Agency and City Attorney have been intimately involved with the negotiations and both are satisfied that the agreement not only meets all legal, insurance, and indemnity requirements, but is also in the best interests of the City.

• 6.The state Liquor & Cannabis Board (LCB) recently change its rules regarding the serving of alcohol outdoors.  The City has had several requests from Tenino merchants urging the City to amend our Municipal Code to allow for the designation of certain outdoor areas as areas where alcohol may be served.

  In light of the number of merchants in our business community who, not only serve, but manufacture beer, wine, and spirits, the Administration recommends amending our Municipal Code to allow for the designation of outdoor areas where alcohol may be served, provided that the appropriate LCB rules are observed.
