3) 116 th Street/City of Marysville
Discussion: John McCoy, Don Hatch, Tom McKinsey; Herman
Williams Jr.; Les Parks; Mel Sheldon; Tom Gobin; T. Peter Mills;
The City of Marysville is not willing to discuss the bridge
at this time but they are willing to enter into an agreement regarding
the emergency sewer. They are willing to entertain a proposal.
The proposal needs to define what emergency sewer is. QCV is limited
by its own pump station capacity which is 3 to 400 thousand per
day. Consideration must be given on what issues are available
for trade with the City of Marysville. A list of items has been
handed out. Lower water wheeling agreement or Sound Transit could
be trading items. A “No annexation or perpetuity”
agreement is very important. Council would like to have the team
that is negotiating with Marysville put this list together-John,
Peter, Tom M. & Village Council/TTT Board of Directors. It
will be important to get language into legislation to prevent
annexation of any Indian Reservation without the agreement of
the Tribes and the Department of the Interior. The MBR plant may
never be down for more than one or two days. The plant has the
ability to do 50,000 gallons now. The Village just needs to be
able to send more in to Marysville’s sewer system in the
event of an emergency situation. The Village would be willing
to pay an overage fee. Marysville value is widening 116 th Street.
What does this mean to them? Pictures handed out to Council Members
of 116 th Street development. The widening and development is
important to Quil Ceda Village and Tulalip Tribes. A very thorough
review needs to be done. We don’t want to give or get something
that isn’t as important. Council and Staff need to look
at a long range plan. Many priorities exist. Marysville and the
developer should have known who owned this property. Why weren’t
they here before it became a crisis? The Tribe now has to defend
its property. The developers and Marysville were just trying to
take the Tribe’s land at 116 th Street. The Tribe needs
to do this at our pace and do it right.
4) Port Susan Monopole
Discussion: Greg Keith; Don Hatch; Stan Jones; Peter
Mills; Les Parks;
Verizon had a five year lease for the monopole at Port Susan.
Verizon has sent a letter to the United States in care of the
Tribal Mail Room. Verizon considered this a renewal of the lease.
A letter was sent to Verizon by Community Development telling
Verizon that they were not interested in renewing this lease.
Verizon has been continuing to send the $300 per month for the
lease. Tulalip needs to stop doing this. Tulalip has many conditions
that it needs to negotiate with Verizon before it considers renewing
a lease. Council very concerned that accepting the checks may
have put the Tribe in an awkward position. Let’s get staff
to take care of this. Cashing the check without a lease usually
means that the lease has now become a month to month lease. If
the checks are sent back then the month to month is over. The
slip from the post office does not mean that the lease was accepted
or renewed. The attorney feels that the Tribe has a valid case.
5) Security System for MBR Plant
Discussion: Greg Keith
This is the security system for the MBR Plant with the total costs
of $23,364 with the add on to track who comes in and out of the
plant.
6) Security System for Quil Ceda
Village Office Complex
Discussion: Same as MBR. This will upgrade the Village Offices
in line with the Tribes.
Staff needs to come back with a budget before this can be approved.
7) Main Power Line (former Boeing line)
A) Installation of Electrical Meters for all users
Tabled
8) Quil Ceda Village Branding Positioning Approach
Disagreement over pricing, staff will bring back.
9) Quil Ceda Village Capital Items/Projects
Discussion: John McCoy; Tom McKinsey; Herman Williams; Les Parks;
Peter Mills; Don Hatch; Steve Gobin; Mel Sheldon
Capital Items and Projects need to be looked at and addressed.
An attempt has been made to put together a Capital Items/Projects
list and address short term and long term needs with staff’s
recommendation for the prioritizing. The list was read. Staff
is recommending the consideration of these items. The Charette
needs to happen so that an entire needs list can be compiled.
Would there be value in staff getting together first and then
bringing the Council in after they have done the initial work?
There are many priorities in the Council schedule. Many times
the money may not be available. There may be financing opportunities
available to accomplish many of these items. This list was put
together so that the Council can see what needs to be done. Resources
may not be available for all but priorities need to be set. The
Business Park does not have items on that list. The Business Park
team would like to facilitate bringing together these items from
all departments and entities. Staff is thanked for the snap shot.
Here is a list. Now we have some needs and ideas that we can begin
to build around.
