Jessie Woods, 3924 So. 117th Street. Tukwila, spoke out against the unending noise at the local firing range. He asked the Council to continue their efforts to "do something" about this problem. He is fearful that if enough citizens do not come forward to complain, particularly on the Firing Range Noise Hotline, established by the City, nothing will be done. He is not against the firing range, per se; yet is in favor of controlled hours, different from the ones currently maintained. Secondly, Mr. Woods believes the range should be limited to police personnel only not the public. Finally, Mr. Woods noted his disappointment with the Police and Council for not visiting his neighborhood during the Night Out Again Crime held approximately two weeks ago.
