LIBRARY LAND TRANSFER
City Administrator McFall noted that this special meeting was called to finalize
the transfer of the existing library facility to the City and A half interest of
the Cold Storage facility to the Library District. This transaction needed to
occur prior to year end so that the City could sell a portion of the land
acquired from the library, to the developer who is developing the City Hall
office space project. It was noted in the presentation by Mr. McFall that the
library board had reviewed the agreement and should be approving it soon with
only minor modification to the language.
At the request of Council , it was noted that the new library project probably
will not start until June of '89 and that the City Hall Office space project
should be completed prior to the completion of the library. The Committee
recommended that this item be brought up under Council reports at the Council
meeting of December 20, 1988.
CHRISTMAS TREE PICK UP
City Administrator McFall noted that there were three options in picking up
residential Christmas trees. The first option is for the City's haulers to pick
up the trees free based upon the City ordinance that requires City's haulers to
pick up trees. The second option is to contract with the haulers based on a low
bid as provided by the two City haulers. The third option is to contract

directly with Kent Disposal since Kent Disposal has the City's recycling
contract. It was noted that as a part of the bid, Tri Star bid $1 .50 per tree
plus tax and Kent Disposal bid $55.55 per hour for 40 hours plus tax.
After some discussion about the options by the Council members, it was decided to
go ahead and pay Kent Disposal for the service since pursuing the other options
may not get the trees picked up within the time period provided. City
Administration felt like this item did not require further Council action and was
brought to the Committee for information only.
GOLF CONTRACT WITH MICKEY STRAY
As an information item it was noted that the City's golf concessionaire, Mickey
Stray, may be at tonight's meeting requesting review of his contract with the
City. After much discussion it was noted that the City Council 'was well aware of
the issues since Mr. Stray had attended a prior Council meetings, had written
letters to the Council and had aired his concerns in the press. Councilwoman
Houser noted that the Council shouldn't negotiate the contract and 'that since the
staff finds no evidence of a contract violation, Mr. Stray should obtain legal
advice to pursue his concerns.
