PROPOSED RESOLUTION SETTING MORATORIUM THROUGHOUT CITY UNTIL OCTOBER 25, 1978 ON PROCESSING OF

Councilman Carns said the scheduled hearing dates in the proposed resolution were incorrect. He
said the hearing before the Council is scheduled for October 17, 1978 and the Planning Commission
hearing will be prior to that. He suggested that on page 2, in the last two lines, the reference
to the date of the Planning Commission be deleted and that on pages 6 and 7 the date indicated
for the Council public hearing and review of the moratorium be changed to October 17, 1978.

COMMISSION HEARING BE DELETED. MOTION CARRIED.
REPORT ON BIDS OPENED JUNE 28, 1978 FOR SALE OF VEHICLES AND COMPRESSOR [Item (E) on Consent Agenda
Councilman Carns asked if the City was getting the most money possible out of the sale of used
City vehicles because the bid on each of the three vehicles was so low. Public Works Director
Leif Larson responded that the vehicles were not in good condition and that the Dodge Darts had been
a constant source of maintenance problems. He felt the bid received was reasonable. No bid was
received on the compressor, and Purchasing Agent Jack Lewis indicated he would search further for
bidders on the compressor. COUNCILMAN CARNS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILWOMAN ALLEN TO APPROVE ITEM
MOTION: (E) ON THE CONSENT AGENDA. MOTION CARRIED.
COUNCIL
Councilman Gould reported on Councilwoman Allen's and his participation in the new Juvenile Code
Program. He said they now have possibly nine citizens in the community to serve on Conference
Committees, but it takes five people to form one committee and they need enough to form three
committees, so he asked that people interested contact him or Councilwoman Allen.
Councilman Nordquist said Councilwoman Allen and he had attended a Snohomish Health District meeting
this date and there was been a problem with the Laebugten Wharf as their disposal system has been
running over into the Sound, the alarm not having been working. He said there is the possibility
of.their•being.closed if the situation is not remedied.
Councilman Carns advised that he may be late for next week's meeting.
