original building. The clearstory will not exceed the maximum allowed height for this area
of the DOD (27ft), nor exceed the existing height of the current structure.
In addition, the applicant is not requesting to exceed the building height limit of thirty-nine
feet that would require additional permitting and/ or amenities.
After proper public notice of the public meeting as required in POMC Section 16.20.229, the
applicant met with the Design Review Board (DRB) to review the proposal for conformance
with POMC Sections 16.20.218-225. After deliberation and discussion, the DRB passed

8. COMMI'ITEE REPORTS
Councilmember Clauson reported on the following on behalf of the Finance Committee:
• Learned that sales tax collections for July came in significantly short, partly because
this was the first month to observe the additional sales tax from the recently annexed
Bethel area. Additionally, through an error from the Department of Revenue, the
revenue continued to go to the County. The City Treasurer is working with the State
to correct the problem, and we expect next month's sales tax to be correct, and to
receive the month that was erroneously distributed to the County.
• Discussed an offer by a firm to buy out the lease of a cell tower site. They offered
$365,000 for a 99-year lease. The committee decided not to pursue the proposal,
because in the long term, we would lose revenue and any flexibility and control of the
site.

budget.
