CITIZEN COMMENTS Sharon Mann, 4452 South 160 Street, referenced the recent opening of the Link Light Rail system. She suggested consideration of a shuttle that would go to the Westfield Southcenter Mall and the Family Fun Center. She also indicated that additional signage to the Light Rail system would be beneficial. Ms. Tukwila City Council Regular Meeting Minutes July 20, 2009 Page 2 of 9 Mann conveyed that a week prior to the Light Rail opening, the Tukwila International Boulevard Action Committee (TIBAC) and volunteers from the area picked up 2200 pounds of trash near the Light Rail station. She would like to see that area put on a regular schedule for street sweeping and sidewalk clearing. She relayed there is still winter sand on some of the roadways and freeways in that area. Mayor Haggerton conveyed that some of the areas referenced are in the City of SeaTac and not within the control of Tukwila. Councilmember Quinn expressed appreciation to the Tukwila International Boulevard Action Committee for their hard work and ongoing commitment to the community. Barbara Bader, 13660 Military Road South, inquired as to why Tukwila did not have a booth at the recent Light Rail opening event. Derek Speck, Economic Development Administrator, explained the City has multiple large projects in progress at this time, to include the Shoreline Master Program, Tukwila Urban Center, Tukwila Village and Tukwila South. There were not staff resources available for this event. He expressed appreciation to the Tukwila International Boulevard Action Committee for having a booth at the opening of the Light Rail system.

PUBLIC HEARINGS Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Update and Environmental Review continued from July 13, 2009 7:22 p.m. Mayor Haggerton reconvened the public hearing and asked for a report from staff. Carol Lumb, Senior Planner, indicated the Public Hearing for the Shoreline Master Program commenced on April 20, 2009; was continued to July 13, 2009; and again continued to this meeting to receive information from the City Attorney regarding the timing of public comments. Mayor Haggerton requested the City Clerk begin the public comment process. Christy O'Flaherty referenced the following documents received by staff prior to the public hearing: Email correspondence (1 page) from Donald Scanlon to Carol Lumb, Senior Planner, dated July 19, 2009 (Exhibit 23). Letter and documents (238 pages) and associated maps from Gordon Derr, Attorneys at Law, to the Tukwila City Council, dated July 20, 2009 (Exhibit 24). The above documents were duplicated and distributed to the Mayor, City Administrator, City Council, City Attorney and relevant staff members. Donald Scanlon, 13410 40 Avenue South, indicated his property is north of Southgate Park. Southgate Creek runs through his backyard, and one of the salmon incubators is in his backyard. Approximately 7 years ago he attended a Water Resource Inventory Area 9 (WRIA9) meeting and heard scientists and Tukwila City Council Regular Meeting Minutes July 20, 2009 Page 3 of 9 biologists discuss issues regarding the river and watershed. At that time they had the authority to widen the river to protect the salmon habitat. This has been in the works for some time. He also conveyed that Tukwila is not alone regarding the SMP, and as other cities implement the plan, it can increase flows. Tukwila must make accommodations and not end up in a bottleneck situation. He also inquired as to whether there is a designated flood zone, so people will know where the trouble spots may be. Bill Toon, 13360 56 Avenue South, relaxed that he disagrees with the SMP. He referenced the river being dredged upstream from South 180 h Street toward Kent and Auburn, increasing the height of the riverbanks. In his view that could create a tremendous log jam and cause harm to wildlife and fish. He does not feel the landowners have been adequately represented and is concerned this is a violation of constitutional rights. From his standpoint, the owners should not have to give up land for nothing. Joe Desimone, 5609 SW Manning Street, Seattle, stated that his family owns approximately 90 acres along the Duwamish River, and he has concerns about the SMP. A recent report from Gardner Economics shows a negative absorption rate in the last 6 months. If all the properties in Tukwila and South King County were on the market, they would never be absorbed. The standard of 24 months in the SMP is arbitrary and unreasonable in his view. It also requires the property to maintain the same type of use, making re- leasing even more difficult. He is suggesting an extension to 4 years so that owners could get their property re- leased, particularly in the current economic climate. He would also like to see an extra 12 months in case properties are not leased out. If the properties are not leased, revenues to the City will be lost. From his standpoint, the proposed 100 -foot buffer in non -levee areas does not have scientific evidence. The City of Auburn is allowing a buffer reduction of 35% to protect the shoreline functions. It is important to have a program that enhances the functions of the buffers, and the Department of Ecology has approved this. He would also like to see revegetation and landscaping requirements be more proportionate and the option for 2 properties to share public access. Louie Sanft, 6120 52 Avenue South, provided a 6 -page letter, dated November 3, 2008 (Exhibit 25) that was distributed to the Mayor, City Council, and relevant staff. He indicated that the percentage increase in setbacks is not proportionate, and he would like to see a more modest setback. In his view, the 125 -foot setback requested by the Department of Ecology is not something the City has to do. The Department of Ecology cannot impose this setback, and they are hoping the City of Tukwila will do so. Additionally, the non conformance of existing properties is problematic, as buildings that are currently in conformance could change to being non conforming. This presents economic difficulties when trying to sell property as financing becomes more difficult to obtain for potential buyers. In his view, the drafting of the SMP did not involve public participation or take into account the economic impacts to owners. Mayor Haggerton asked the City Attorney for options on next steps. Shelley Kerslake, City Attorney, referenced the Council's question from the prior Council meeting about having the public hearing continue in an open status and further acceptance of public comments. Ms. Kerslake recommended closing the public hearing, explaining that the record needs to be confined for easy retrieval. Staff must also be given the opportunity to pull the public comments together and provide them to the Council to be part of the deliberative process. Mayor Haggerton asked for comments from the Council. Council President Hernandez referenced the SMP work sessions scheduled in the near future and inquired as to accepting public comments at those meetings. Ms. Kerslake indicated it would be up to the Chair of the work session as to whether public comments are accepted. She indicated the statute regarding public participation conveys that the public hearing is an opportunity for the public to give input, and then the Council considers that input and makes a decision. Council President Hernandez inquired as to whether the Council could continue taking written comments. Tukwila City Council Regular Meeting Minutes July 20, 2009 Page 4 of 9 Ms. Kerslake indicated the record is provided to the Council by staff. If written comments continue to come in, then staff can provide those comments for consideration up until the time of the Council's decision. Councilmember Linder commented that the City's proposed SMP will receive another public hearing at the Department of Ecology, and property owners will have another opportunity to comment on the final plan Councilmember Robertson asked if the public hearing could be closed and additional public hearings opened at future dates. Ms. Kerslake responded that under State law there is a requirement that there be one open record hearing, which is currently in progress. She reiterated that the plan the City submits to the Department of Ecology will involve another public hearing there, and then when it comes back, there will be another public hearing component as well. Councilmember Robertson commented that with regard to the SMP work sessions, it was the will of the Council that there be no public comments. The sessions are an opportunity for the Council to discuss and work through the policy issues with staff. Councilmember Quinn inquired as to whether there is an expectation that written comments to the SMP receive an immediate response. Ms. Kerslake explained that while the written comments can be considered by the Council, no specific responses are provided to the comments. The Councilmembers discussed continuation of the public hearing as well as the need to work through a great many issues to meet the required deadlines. Council consensus existed to close the public hearing. 7:53 p.m. Mayor Haggerton closed the public hearing. UNFINISHED BUSINESS a.

Councilmember Robertson requested this item be deferred for one week, as it should have no impact on the deadline. He explained he has been out of town for the past several days and just returned late today. He has not had time to review the material. He also indicated that Councilmember Hougardy is not present this evening and will be unable to participate in the discussion. The Councilmembers discussed the motion to defer the discussion for a week, with comments to include: the difficulty of assuring that all Councilmembers can be present for all discussions, and next week another Councilmember is scheduled to be absent; the understanding that if additional information is required after discussion this evening, the matter can then be forwarded on to another Council meeting; and the importance of ensuring that benchmark dates for the project be met by the end of the year. *MOTION FAILED 1 -5, WITH ROBERTSON VOTING YES. Tukwila City Council Regular Meeting Minutes July 20, 2009 Page 7 of 9 Rhonda Berry, City Administrator, explained the resolution would delegate Public Works permitting authority for the Tukwila South project exclusively to Anchor QEA and KPFF. The workload in the Public Works Department is heavy, with the Public Works Director being the Incident Commander for the Howard Hanson Dam project. The Klickitat project and involvement with the Shoreline Master Program also consume a great deal of Public Works staff time. The Tukwila South project has been in discussions for 5 years. Now that the Development Agreement has been executed with La Pianta for Tukwila South, it is important to keep the momentum going forward to meet critical deadlines and retain State and Federal grant funding. La Pianta is also committed to meeting the deadlines, and they have agreed to share in the cost of the independent project coordination services. This type of situation is not unprecedented for the City, as the Westfield Mall shared in the costs for certain inspectors and services to ensure their deadlines were accomplished. Ms. Berry indicated that KPFF has no record of business dealings with La Pianta, going back as far as 1997. Anchor QEA has one staff person in their employ who worked on a La Pianta project 2 years ago, and that individual will not be involved with the Tukwila South project. Councilmember Linder inquired as to whether the contractors would be reporting to the Mayor's Office and if they would be on -site or in their own offices. Ms. Berry stated they would be reporting to the Mayor's Office. The contractors will not have an office at City Hall or at La Pianta, and will be working from their own offices, when not at the project location. Ms. Linder asked for clarification as to whether they had to follow the City's permitting rules. Ms. Berry confirmed they would not be deviating from the City's permitting requirements, and they would act as agents of the City. Council President Hernandez asked for additional information regarding the credentials of the 2 companies. Lisa Verner, Project Manager, indicated that Anchor QEA is recognized in the environmental and water management fields. Bob Montgomery, PE, who will be assigned to the Tukwila South project, has owned his own firm and has direct experience and knowledge regarding water management issues. KPFF is a larger company and has been in business for a longer time. They have a great deal of experience regarding engineering and design issues and construction management. One of their staff members has been a Public Works administrator in the public sector. By virtue of the work they perform, both agencies have had close contact with FEMA and the Army Corp of Engineers. Together the companies bring a well- rounded amount of experience, knowledge and resources to the project. They have been involved in bringing people to the table to successfully resolve issues and move forward to meet deadlines. Councilmember Quinn inquired if the City could do this for any type of project. Ms. Verner responded in the affirmative; it is an accepted practice that not only Tukwila utilizes, but other cities as well. Councilmember Quinn asked the City Attorney how common this practice is, particularly with regard to permitting. Shelley Kerslake, City Attorney, explained this is not unusual for other cities. For large projects, consultants are hired for project coordination, and many cities also contract out the permitting functions. An example would be the Issaquah Highlands, where a whole Planning Department was established to keep the project moving at the necessary pace, yet not detract from the work of the City's Planning staff. In the case of many of the smaller cities she represents, all of the permitting functions are contracted out. She emphasized this is a standard business practice. Her recommendation is that it be moved forward in the best interest of the project. Tukwila City Council Regular Meeting Minutes July 20, 2009 Page 8 of 9 Councilmember Griffin requested verification that the $50,000 amount the City will be paying is from grant funds and not from the General Fund. Ms. Verner responded that the $50,000 is from grant funds. The granting agencies have been contacted and provided approval for use of the funds toward project administration. Councilmember Quinn requested a staff recommendation as to the timeline for this issue. Rhonda Berry, City Administrator, indicated the goal is to have contracts in place for both companies by August 1, 2009. Information received late last week regarding the levee also requires the need for expediency. *MOTION CARRIED 5 -1 TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NUMBER 1686, WITH ROBERTSON VOTING NO. b.
