Motion by Councilmember Williams, seconded by Councilmember Johns, to Adopt Resolution # 16-12-240 Adopting Findings of Fact #0975 Relating to a Request from Edie Harer to Maintain a Pot -Bellied Pig at the Property Located at 15830 Andrie St NW and Resolution #16-12-241 Approving the Issuance of a Non -Traditional Animal License to Maintain a Pot -Bellied Pig on a Residential Property and Declaring Terms of Same. Further discussion: Councilmember Shryock stated that she is curious as to why there was a delay in the applications but aside from that, that does not prohibit the City's ability to grant the approvals. Mayor Strommen stated that the City always encourages people to seek the proper approvals before the action takes place but notes that there is this process to remedy the situation after the fact. Councilmember Riley stated that he would like staff to consider this as a learning process and not be drawn into HOA covenants but instead focus on the City's policies and procedures. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Strommen, Councilmembers Williams, Johns, Riley, and Shryock. Voting No: Councilmember Kuzma. Absent: Councilmember LeTourneau. 7.02: Consider Adoption of Resolution #16-12-248 to Approve Position Reclassification Human Resources Manager Lasher reviewed the staff report and recommendation to reclassify two current City positions, the Permit Technician Assistant and the Parks Lead Worker; both reclassifications were included as part of the budgeting discussions and are accounted for in the 2017 budget. This case seeks to accurately classify and compensate City employees for the work performed, noting that both job duties have changed significantly and the employees are currently working outside of their classification.

Voting Yes: Mayor Strommen, Councilmembers Shryock, Williams, Johns, Kuzma, and Riley. Voting No: None.
