Old Business:
6) Leasing
Visitors - The Finkbonners are requesting to move their presentation
to the Council to the beginning of the agenda due to the limited
time they have available.
-Valerie Finkbonner-requesting to speak with the Village Council
in regards to leasing space near 99th & 27th Avenue (within
the Village). Rick Finkbonner read into the record the executive
summary for the Sebastian’s RV Park.
(Summary attached to minutes)
-Presentation of site and design. Site will have individual Water/Sewer/Phone
hook-ups.
Council Member asks if this is the best use for this property?
Additional planning has been developed that shows this property
possibly being designated for other types of development. Wetlands
have developed in surrounding areas. Land for RV Park has been
recommended more north and west of this area. Zoning for the property
west of 27th Avenue is still in the planning stages.
Question about the size of property development before an EPA
review is required. What is the size? Anything over one acre needs
to file a notice of intent with the EPA and an on-site Storm Water
Pollution Retention plan. This would be the responsibility of
the potential lessee.
How would this plan work into a potential 55 acre RV/Resort park?
Research indicates that an RV Park is needed for this area. What
size of an RV Park is another matter. Starting with eight acres
would help QCV see if a 55 acre park will be needed and if it
is needed, then how soon it will be needed.
How would sewer be brought to this site? Who would be responsible
for the cost to bring sewer to this site? The developer would
usually pay for these costs but if Tribe is planning to develop
near this site, the Tribe may share in the cost.
Staff needs to start planning for an additional water tank to
provide water usage for residential development.
Village needs a forum to discuss the water wheeling agreement,
how it affects Tulalip Utilities and Quil Ceda Village Utilities.
The Village cannot give an answer as to how long it will take
to adopt zoning for
this area. Once it is approved, then anyone who wants to develop
land will need
to share the costs to bring in the infrastructure. The Village
does support an
RV Park and there is a need for one but the size has not been
determined.
2) Approval of Minutes

4, 2003 with any necessary amendments.

Closed session –10:10 a.m. to discuss personnel Issues relating
to this topic.
Session resumed at 11:30 a.m.
4) Signage for Quil Ceda Village Conference Center
Discussion-Change Tulalip Tribes and put it above Quil Ceda
Village-red letters.
Whale should be alone and a box type of sign under Tulalip Tribes.
Planning will have to approve a variance to the Design Guidelines
for the Retail Center if the Village wants this type of sign.
This sign is larger than the design guidelines allow. Box signs
are not allowable either, channel lettering is preferred.
5) Budgets
A) Government Affairs
B) Natural Resources
C) Special Projects
-Motion to move that Government Affairs, Natural Resources
(T & D), and Special Projects budgets to QCV.
Seconded
3 For 0 Against
Carried
The Village Council will bring this request to the full Board
of Directors.
New Business:
7) Quil Ceda Village Ad in “A Guide to Indian Country”
This was previously approved at the Board of Directors level
with funds to come from the Government Affairs Budget.
8) 88th Overpass Statistics - usage
-Presented statistics showing usage from 88th street. Marysville
receives 63%
capacity in the p.m. and 80% in the a.m. General Manager will
provide these statistics to Marysville Tulalip Chamber of Commerce
and the Press. The businesses and residents are utilizing the
majority of the 88th Street Interchange
Tulalip is a good neighbor.
Water Availability-QCV Utilities addressed concerns about capacity
of water for the Village. Water is only available at one million
gallons per day through all points of entry. The additional three
million gallons is not available at this time unless we pay for
more capacity. 88th Street will be at capacity this summer. Winter
months seem to be okay for now.
