• 3.Now that the last carved panel has been emplaced, we can truly say that construction on the Veteran's Memorial and Wall is complete and the Administration would like to discuss a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony commemorating the event.
  
  

• 4.Now that the YTT Extension Feasibility Study Report has been accepted, the Administration would like to discuss the possibility of a Joint Statement between Bucoda and the City (and perhaps the TRPC) for submission to the Board of County Commissioners in hopes of having the County prioritize the construction of one or more "geographic reaches" to extend the YTT both south toward Bucoda, and west toward Grand Mound.
  
  

• 5.The process of claiming reimbursement for what the City has been calling the "Bicycle Kiosk," it was identified that the word "kiosk" implies a covered structure, and so the Administration would like to have a discussion related to officially naming the facility and an appropriate commemoration.

   

• 6.With this document, Thurston County is saying that:

  1.  Because the proposed amendments are not associated with a specific development proposal, they are being reviewed as a Non-project Action.

  2.  The lead agency for this proposal has determined that it does not have a probable significant adverse impact upon the environment.  Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement is not required.

  The Public Comment period for this proposal will end on September 16, 2019.   Any appeals must be filed by September 23, 2019.

  This notice is also being provided to the Tenino Planning Commission.

• 7.Having attended a mediation session that did not result in an agreement, Councilmember Gotovac wishes to discuss additional options for resolving the ongoing conflict with the Timberland Regional Library.
  
  

• 8.Ideas for raising revenues in support of Transporation initiatives.

PUBLIC COMMENTS

PUBLIC HEARING

• 13.At the request of TCOMM 9-1-1, the City Council desires to adopt Resolution 2019-07 in support of Thurston County Proposition #1, a proposition authorizing the County to impose an additional 1/10th of one percent sales and use tax to increase the emergency communications sales/use tax from 1/10th of one percent to 2/10th of one percent.
  
  

PROCLAMATIONS

OLD BUSINESS

• 14.Gibbs & Olson has provided a proposed Scope of Work to perform the architectural assessment of the Quarry House as the first step toward renovation.

  Recommended action:  Move to authorize Mayor Fournier signing the Scope of Work for the Architectural Assessment of the Quarry House.

NEW BUSINESS

• 15.The Clerk of the Municipal Court broke a foot and must stay completely off of it for the next few weeks and will have work restrictions after that time.  While this will not cause an economic hardship for the employee, it puts the City in a tremendous bind because City Hall has lost 1/3 of it's workforce (in addition to the Court Clerk functions, this employee also performs Accounts Receivable/Accounts Payable and numerous other miscellaneous functions.)  This would not normally be a problem; however, as the City is currently undergoing an audit, the Clerk/Treasurer is unable to back-stop the injured employee.  Therefore, the Administration is requesting funding for a Temporary Employee for a term of four weeks in order to keep Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable current, as well as to back-stop the two full-time employees as required.

  Recommended action:  Move to authorize the hiring of a temporary employee for a period of four weeks and in an amount not to exceed $4500.00.
  
  

RESOLUTIONS
