risk manager. He is going to offer a defensive driving course
for employees who drive City automobiles.

rules so the positions of Police Chief and Fire Chief will be in
the same category as Department Heads with employment contracts.

should be a general work plan from each committee.

but not the undergrounding.

and reviewed criteria on environmental processes and concerns
of Metro. The next meeting will be February 28 in the Police
Training Room to discuss selection process and narrow the sites
to approximately ten.
Larry Martin, City Attorney, distributed copy of statute and an
ordinance from City of Redmond placing the Police Chief and Fire
Chief out of Civil Service and into Administration Department so
they can be categorized as Department Heads.
Councilman Harris asked if the Police Chief and Fire Chief would be
happy with this arrangement. The City Attorney said this will
apply to persons hired in the future. The present Fire Chief and
Police Chief will remain in Civil Service. New employees in this
classification will be required to sign a contract as other Department

Brad Collins, Planning Director, outlined the boundary of the
requested proposed annexation. He stated the annexation request
would have to go to the Boundary Review Board for approval.
Councilman Morgan asked what is considered to be contiguous in an
annexation. Why is one side of the street excluded from the
annexation? Mr. Collins said if a street is taken in with the
annexation the property on the other side of the street is continguous.
It was his opinion if the street is not taken in the annexation then
the property on the other side would not be contiguous. He said he
would research a standard approach as to what is done on streets.
Alfred Hancuff, 16211 51st Avenue South, said all of the homes
in the proposed annexation area are single family homes except
one and it is not developed.
