3) Police Report

Discussion: Carlos Echevarria, Glen Gobin

Reported on an incident that happened over the weekend with a car chase that began in Marysville with the suspect dropping his vehicle and fled the scene to Quil Ceda Village. The Village experienced some traffic congestion but with the road blocks and proper traffic control, it was manageable. There continue to be some concerns with the vandalism on the railroad bridge that spans 1-5 near 116th Street. Do the Tribe's officers patrol this area on a regular basis? Yes but visibility could be better if the brush near that area were routinely cut. Staff recommends that some of the shrubbery be cut on the road way and additional lighting be installed. Could additional lighting be placed on the Art Design building? There has been additional lighting installed. Some of the property is owned by a private owner. We need to check the easement and make sure it is being maintained properly.

6) Resolution No. 2007-023 directing the Village engineering staff to retain the appropriate firm to design the physical modifications to the Quil Ceda Village Central Plaza.

Discussion: Tom McKinsey, Glen Gobin, Mytyl Hernandez, Carlos Echevarria, Debbie Bray

Power Point presentation: The first recommendation is to move one of the umbrella structures along with moving several of the poles. This would expand the area available for vendors during concerts and festivals. It would make the vendors more assessable to the customers. The existing cedar poles have suffered some damage due to the design. There maybe a way to use a synthetic material for the new poles and design them a little differently to reduce the damage. The next area to address is a permanent stage floor with some storage and a loading dock. This would require some slight realigning of the parking lot curbing to allow the semi-trucks to back in. A small office and artist quarters are needed. There is water, sewer and power but staff would like to bring more power to this side to even out the electrical load during concerts. Handicap accessibility will be improved with the changes. The beautiful brick paver area could host several VIP suites. The ticket booth area should be moved and covered to facilitate a more controlled entry. Council recommends expanding the fence line; looking at the possibility to adding more restrooms on the south side along the covering the rest areas. They would like staff to look at having tribal construction build the office/artist building. The beer garden needs further evaluation. Council wants to schedule a walk through with vendors and the Central Plaza Manager before other options are considered. Staff will start the design for the scope of work allowed by the Council.

Resolution was not necessary.

Discussion: Glen Gobin, Marlin Fryberg, Jr., Nina Reece, Shelly Lacy, Steve Gobin,

This needs to be adopted so that this can be voted on in December. These are the Quil Ceda Village government departments. The primary funding source is tax revenue. The departments listed above are supported by the tax monies. There is an additional request from the Law Enforcement to provide four more officers specifically to the Village. The Hotel will be opening up in 2008 creating more traffic for the existing officers. The primary law enforcement funding is in the administration budget the additional request is under VI. Law Enforcement. There is an estimated 20% increase in the 2008 budget due to the additional law enforcement request. Otherwise, the increase was being held to 3%. Council approves the regular budget which has been sent to the full Tulalip Board of Directors but Council would like to continue the discussion on the Capital Items at the next regular meeting.
