Old Business: Village Council Meeting Room Progress/Bids The total bids are at the bottom. Crownover is the low bidder. John: If we go without the Chamber, I recommend that we name Crownover as receiving the bid and recommend to go into contract negotiations and submit to the Board of Directors, ASAP. The Marysville Chamber of Commerce is already working on their space. They are asking for an amendment to finish the work as July 15th is not a realistic date. Motion: To accept Crownover as and proceed forward. Moved by Herman Williams Jr. Seconded by Stan Jones Sr. 2 for 0 against, Motion carried. City of Marysville, request for Donated Fill Dirt Value of Quil Ceda Village Topsoil The dirt is worth $4.00 per year, screened. If we have to wait to have it screened, then that is what we will do. The City of Marysville only wants 10,000 yards but we have 250,000+ yards. Hermie: What happened to our plan for a nursery? Les: I do have a business plan to present to the Board of Directors. Nobach Topsoils only moves about 60 yards of topsoil. We have four years of top soil to move. Daryl: We need some land allocated for the nursery project. Stan: We need to look at the Campbell property. We should do something like get a business going. NW Strategies Presentation Alison Peters & Ron Dotzhauser A) Polling Results Presentation-extremely favorable. Results will be used in upcoming campaign To support the Tribes’ position regarding non-expansion of gaming. B) New Contract Proposal Proposal accepted by the Village Council. It will be sent to the Tulalip Board of Directors for approval. Budget Amendment

New Business: Quil Ceda Village Taxing Authority A) Lease Hold Tax John: I met with the State last week and it was an excellent meeting. Lease hold tax, felt we could levy these. When I was requesting a meeting, the Department of Revenue was just breaking up a meeting over this when I called. They had decided at this meeting to go after Home Depot and Wal-Mart. However, they decided to put a hold on this after talking with me. They want to verify that if 90% of the lease is being charged. We are in fact charging 90% of the lease. They will call the local tax assessor for an appraisal. We will use our appraiser is how we will go about it. B) Business & Occupation Tax Mortenson’s tax is reported to the Bellevue office. They can deduct tax from their revenues. Do we want to assess those taxes? John suggests “Yes” we do want to do this. Les: Wal-mart and Home Depot were asked not to send their tax to the State but they did. They were sent a letter by the Tribe. Solicitation Ordinance Should we allow signature gathering, car washes, cookie sales, etc.? Accept Ordinance as proposed and any passing out any info is prohibited, only charity events allowed! No signature gatherers! Signature gatherers make a pest. Charity means 501c3 only. John recommended non-activity, except Charities. Hermie would not like any activity going on. Mel asked, “If another Wal-Mart had a problem, who would they call”? John will move forward with Attorney on Solicitation Ordinance for Charities only. Sewer Ordinance Discussion John: Tommy has recommended a couple of minor changes. Motion: Move that Quil Ceda move to legal staff for review. Moved by Herman Williams Jr. Seconded by Stan Jones Sr. 2 for 0 against Motion carried.
