and staff replied that architecture firms commonly have different niches.

Mr. Goode noted that siting of a Justice Center on Tukwila International Boulevard could have positive and negative impacts on visually welcoming to the families in the neighborhood to ensure it is viewed as a community asset and resource. ǴȚ0O<FC= 3;@?NS 0F;H &CH;H=C;F /P?LPC?Q The Committee reviewed a report of all Public Safety Plan revenues & expenditures through August 2017. Total actual revenues through August 31, 2017 are $37,852,683 from the voter- approved bond, fire impact fees, and investment interest. Actual expenditures through August 31, 2017 are $569,887. Because the current construction market conditions are significantly higher than what the City had estimated, there is an estimated funding gap of around $8.4 million for the fire stations project. Mr. Reiswig asked if funds could be transferred between projects, and staff replied that the bond ordinance offers that flexibility. The City Council was informed of the fire station budget projection in June and directed staff to proceed with design. In 2018 the Council will continue discussing how to fully fund the projects. Mr. Goode asked how the community would be involved in the design of the Justice Center, since decisions will be made based upon cost. Staff said that there have and will continue to be open houses, but it is largely functional needs that drive the design. Mr. Goode recommends the City give more consideration to community involvement. The Committee reviewed an updated list of Public Safety Plan contracts, including project management, fire station location study, architectural design and planning, real estate broker services, program management quality assurance services, and environmental assessments.
