RE. Proposed Council Goals and Budget for 2007
COUNCIL GOALS
I met with the Mayor this week and we discussed the Council Goals proposed during the
last two Committee of the Whole meetings and how they could be best organized. Our
most important discussion concerned the fact that Council Goals were generally items the
entire City (Administration) worked on, not just the Council. In brief, the Council sets
policy for the City and the Administration does the work.
We came up with the following proposed definitions that we thought would better
capture what we are actually doing in the city today
I Goal Something that is achievable in the short term
(1 to 2 years).
Focus Item Something that is a long -term commitment (requires longer
than 2 years to achieve) but is still considered to require
special attention to achieve.
Exploration Item Something that the Council wants to explore and
understand better before a commitment is made or policy
direction is set.
Special Attention Something that is part of the normal Administration work
Item plan but the Council is still concerned about and wants to
receive regular reports/status updates on so that policy can
be further refined if necessary

The Mayor and I went through the thirteen items from our last Committee of the Whole
and attempted to fit them into the above four categories. Our proposal is:
I Establish a work plan with IT Department and City Clerk's office to automate
functions of the City Clerk's office. (Exploration)
2. Continue to evaluate personal technology options for Council members so they
can participate in evolving City automation processes. (Exploration)
3 Work with the Mayor's office to research current information and effective
strategies for City participation in controlling "global warming."
(Exploration/Goal)
4. Promote traffic calming and enforcement in residential neighborhoods (Special
Attention Item)
5 Adopt zoning and comprehensive plan policies regarding Tukwila Valley South.
(Special Attention Item)
6. Adopt policies that address safety (crime) and appearance issues on '1'1B. (Goal)
7. Advocate and develop campaign to address perceptions on TIB. (Exploration
Item)
8. Focus on development of policies to improve housing stock for both single -and-
multi family housing (Goal/Focus Item)
9 Explore options to address public health concerns in Tukwila. (Exploration
Item)
10. Investigate implementing the old "residential street program." (Exploration
Item)
11. Explore funding and siting for a permanent Neighborhood Resource Center on
TIB (Exploration Item)
12. Continue to focus on Tukwila Village. (Special Attention Item)
13. Develop and lobby a legislative agenda. (Council Special Attention Item)
We would also like to make the following recommendations.
a.) Items #1 #2 should be combined into one Exploration Item since they
are so closely linked.
b.) Item #6 should be modified to also include "usage" in a zoning sense so
that it would address `safety, usage, and appearance' on the highway
c.) Item #7 should be changed to a `prepare a branding campaign for the
entire city
Finally, it appears to me that the Council President, once the Council has agreed on the
goals, should review each goal with the Mayor and City Administrator to create a
plan/schedule appropriate for each goal. In some cases, there will be `special work plans'
necessary to achieve the goal and in other cases it will only require a `monitoring plan.'
These plans would then be presented to the entire Council for its review

COUNCIL BUDGET
There appears to me to be three topics to discuss on the Council budget.
1. Total Amount: My proposal is to only increase the total dollar figure by the
adjustment percentage (.04 used in all of the other city departments $10,000
2. Travel Budget: My proposal is to only increase it by S5,000.
3 Miscellaneous Budget: My proposal is to increase it $14,956 to account for
increased registrations and other discretionary items (software, hardware, etc.)
4 Overtime My proposal includes S3,000 in overtime expense.
