Since July 1, 2005 the City has leased a small piece of property as a

dollar ($50) per month lease amount.  The Paradise Path Task Force and
the Downtown Parking Implementation group will consider potential
alternative users of the property within the Lease term.  This has been
reviewed by the Administrative Committee on November 10, 2008 and
November 24, 2008.

3.      Economic Development Plan Draft - Gary J. Riedner/Jen Pfiffner

The City of Moscow received funding for the Economic Development
Assessment and Strategic Plan from a Rural Business Opportunity Grant.
On January 22, 2008 an agreement was signed with Kendig Keast to take on
the project in conjunction with the City's Comprehensive Plan project.
The deadline established by the RBOG administrators is December 31, 2008
to submit a final report and copy of the plan.  Kendig-Keast gathered
information for the assessment with stakeholder interviews and
individuals from a wide variety of industries were invited to provide
information and feedback on economic development challenges and
opportunities as they viewed them from their relative perspectives.  In
addition, an informal survey was distributed to more than 150
individuals in the community to gather additional anecdotal information.
In February of 2008, a steering committee was established to review and
provide input on the final draft.  Data was pulled from relevant sources
to provide the statistical information needed and has been updated
throughout the year to be as current as possible in this final draft.
Throughout the summer and fall of 2008 drafts were received and reviewed
by City staff and the steering committee and the final draft is now
being presented. 

ACTION:  Recommend the City of Moscow Economic Development Assessment
and Strategic Plan for acceptance at the December 15, 2008 City Council
meeting or take other such action as deemed appropriate.

4.      Renewal of Secondhand/Pawn License to Thomas Uribe/Moscow Pawn -
Stephanie Kalasz

Thomas Uribe has applied for renewal of his pawn license for Moscow
Pawn.  The application was forwarded to Chief Weaver who recommended
approval.

ACTION:  Recommend approval of license renewal or take such other action
deemed appropriate.

5.      Pullman-Moscow Airport Grant from ITD - Gary J. Riedner

The ITD Aeronautics Division has asked that the City of Moscow accept a
grant offer for the Pullman-Moscow Airport by December 19, 2008.  There
are a number of conditions for receiving this grant and the Airport can
meet all of them.  The Airport is required to certify that it has spent
a minimum of $50,000 in local funds on eligible projects that would
typically include FAA funded projects, airport maintenance or other
operating costs.  For the 2009 grant, local match already dedicated to
our general aviation reconstruction project will more than meet this
requirement.  The Airport Board was aware that this grant offer would be
coming to the City of Moscow on behalf of the airport and the $25,000
was approved as a revenue item in the airport's 2009 budget.  

ACTION:  Recommend approval of Resolution and grant acceptance or take
such other action deemed appropriate.

6.      Proposed Change to Taxicab Ordinance - Stephanie Kalasz / Randy
Fife

Moscow City Code Title 9, Chapter 5 currently regulates the licensing of
taxicab services within the City.  There are certain crimes which
require the denial of an application or the revocation of a license but
there is no revocation or denial where the driver's license of a taxicab
operator has had his or her driver's license suspended by the issuing
state.  The Clerk, Police Chief, and City Attorney recommend amending
the taxicab Ordinance to include the immediate and automatic revocation
of a taxicab operator's license or the denial of an application for such
a taxicab operator's license where an issuing state has revoked the
driver's license of the taxicab operator. 

ACTION:  Review proposed Ordinance change and direct staff as deemed
appropriate.

Moscow. Mr. Planagan is requesting adjust the property lines between
Parcel 1 (1.39 acres), Parcel 2 (1.78 acres), and Parcel 3 (.98 acres),

attached map. Parcel 2 and Parcel 3 share a twenty (20) foot driveway
easement which is accessed via Public Avenue, while Parcel 1 is accessed

barn on Parcel 2, and Parcel 1 is currently vacant. The proposal will

4.      217 and 223 E. 6th Street Lot Line Adjustment (All Souls
Christian Church) - Mike Ray

(2) 6,250 sq ft parcels addressed as 217 and 223 E Sixth Street and
legally described as Block 2 Lots 11 and 12 of McGregor's Addition to
the City of Moscow.  The subject parcels currently have an existing
church building as well as a single family dwelling built on the
property.  All Souls Church is requesting to adjust the lot boundaries
so that they are aligned with the existing buildings with the intent of
separating and selling the existing parsonage from the church building.
The subject parcels are in the Multiple-Family Residential (R-4) Zoning
District and are required by the Zoning Code to be a minimum of 5,000 sq
ft in size and 50 ft wide.  The lot line adjustment as proposed would
result in the creation of a lot of 45 feet in width and 4500 sq ft in
size, which is less than the minimum standards of the R-4 Zone.  The
proposed configuration of the lots was heard by the Board of Adjustment
on October 14, 2008 and subsequently received approval for variances for
all code violations that would have resulted from the proposed
adjustment.
