00:00:00,48 --> 00:00:05,51
Hi I'm city council member Amber wall
address recapping our last city council

2
00:00:05,52 --> 00:00:08,39
meeting. First on our agenda was

3
00:00:08,40 --> 00:00:15,20
a visit from the mayor of our new
sister city Kaiya Italy so we all

4
00:00:15,21 --> 00:00:21,88
said chow to Mayor Alberto and
his assistant mayor who came to

5
00:00:21,89 --> 00:00:26,97
visit and signed the paperwork with
Mayor Condon this past weekend to form

6
00:00:26,98 --> 00:00:32,14
a new sister city relationship with the
city as Spokane. And they presented us with

7
00:00:32,15 --> 00:00:32,62
a gift

8
00:00:32,85 --> 00:00:39,40
a beautiful hand painted plate from coyote
which is an ancient walled city in the

9
00:00:39,41 --> 00:00:44,88
region of in Italy it was great to
have them down here as we also had

10
00:00:44,89 --> 00:00:49,66
a proclamation from the mayor
that designated October first as

11
00:00:49,67 --> 00:00:55,34
a tally American Heritage Day.
Other items are agenda included

12
00:00:55,42 --> 00:00:58,27
a resolution in support of

13
00:00:58,33 --> 00:01:04,69
a peaceful protest that is going on
in South Dakota. The Dakota access

14
00:01:04,70 --> 00:01:11,48
pipeline is going through territory
that these two tribes believed to have

15
00:01:12,02 --> 00:01:15,93
burial grounds and other
archaeological sites so there is

16
00:01:15,97 --> 00:01:22,93
a stage right now by President Obama for
any further construction in this area and

17
00:01:22,94 --> 00:01:23,93
the City Council did take

18
00:01:23,94 --> 00:01:30,19
a majority vote in support of the peaceful
protest in regards to the indigenous

19
00:01:30,20 --> 00:01:36,86
rights and argue logical needs
in South Dakota. Council also

20
00:01:37,21 --> 00:01:38,05
approved

21
00:01:38,22 --> 00:01:45,22
a redevelopment Brownfield designation
for riverfront park this allows us

22
00:01:45,26 --> 00:01:52,05
as we do our renovations of river from
park to access. Dollars from the state or

23
00:01:52,06 --> 00:01:58,82
federal government to help us pay for any
cleanup of disturbed soil as you know

24
00:01:59,08 --> 00:02:04,18
the river front park was
previously used for many years as

25
00:02:04,22 --> 00:02:09,31
a railroad industry sites and when we do
start to do renovation in the park if we

26
00:02:09,32 --> 00:02:14,86
do disturb any of the soil we will need
to do some cleanup as necessary so this

27
00:02:14,87 --> 00:02:18,59
gives us an opportunity to bring in some
outside dollars to help pay for those

28
00:02:18,60 --> 00:02:24,73
costs finally the council did consider
and did pass unanimously a change to

29
00:02:24,74 --> 00:02:29,04
a development agreement that
we entered into last year with

30
00:02:29,08 --> 00:02:34,20
a property owner in the south. Very area
of Spokane in that district which has seen

31
00:02:34,21 --> 00:02:38,17
a lot of growth this
property owner had requested

32
00:02:38,21 --> 00:02:43,93
a change in the developer agreement to
be able to build on some land that had

33
00:02:43,94 --> 00:02:46,61
previously been set aside
for parking and after

34
00:02:46,62 --> 00:02:51,54
a lot of input by the community the council
felt confident that this was the right

35
00:02:51,87 --> 00:02:57,69
choice for land use in this area so the
decision was made that the developer will

36
00:02:57,70 --> 00:02:59,90
be able to develop that property in

37
00:02:59,91 --> 00:03:04,58
a center in quarter designation the next
regular city council meeting will be held

38
00:03:04,59 --> 00:03:08,00
at six P.M. On Monday
October tenth see that.
