Arthur Michaels, property owner, passed out a si.te plan showing thepresent easenents on hls and on adjacent property and Ehe cityrs proposed additional easement on his property. He reviewed that the 10foot easement on the adjacent property is not used due to the property owner installing a fence on the property J,ine. Director of Public Works reviewed city had historically used the athletic club easenent because it is paved, while the other property i-s not paved; the adjacent property orrner put the fence up because athletic club patrons were parking on his property; when the fence was installed theathletic club patrons began parking on the city easement; city trucks sometines have difficulty getting around cars and into the city pumpstation at the rear.

Recently the FCC has adopted regulations affecting 1oca1 regulation of satellite dish antennas. Basically the regulation requires that we treat them the same as television antennas unless there are established health' safety and esthetic criteria, and in no event can we prohibit them- He is reviewing this ruling rlith other city attorneys and they are working on a neu nethod of regulating these antennas. Until this new ordinance is ready, he suggested counci-1 adoPt the Urgency 0rdi.nance which will be effective for 45 days.

Dan Rosenbledt, 1215 Vancouver, spoke agaj.nst, he also has an application pending and is trying to comply wj.th city ru1es. Robert Kearn, resident, spoke against; he works for a large inetaller of satellite dish antennas and this ordinance would effectively put them out of business for 45 days. Mayor Manginj. closed the public hearing. Councilman Pagliaro stated he would vote against this; he has no probJ,em rrith our present satell-ite antenna ordinance; he considers satellite di.sh antennas a blight on the envi-ronnent. Councilman Lembi stated while he nornally opposed moratoriums he could suPport this. Other council members agreed rrith city attorneyrs recommendation for adoption. Counci-1man Pagliaro wondered h,hat is i11ega1 about our present ordinance; City Attorney replied FCC regulation 1s that if you treat satellite dish antenna differently than regular television antennas you can't prohibit them and you must allow for their placenent somewhere on a property.

This ordinance would limit expensesto those meetings or other activities specifically involving one or more governmental agenciesl it would exclude Chamber of Commerce dinners and retirement dinners and uould exclude any mileage withlnthe city.
