Joe Dagley, 13342 35th Ave. So. spoke of an ongoing drainage
problem in his neighborhood and asked for assistance. Public Works
will look into the situation to see what can be done.
Scott Nangle, 14140 56th Ave. So., submitted written suggestions to
clarify the term "substantially inoperable" in regards to junk cars in the
City. Mr. Nangle also reported on the passage of King County's
ordinance authorizing the County to enter into contracts with WWSI
(Washington Waste Systems, Inc.) and Rabanco to provide CDL
(Construction, Demolition, and Land clearing) disposal facilities. He
asked for an explanation on where the City stands on this issue. John
McFarland explained the final mitigation document has not yet been
published so Tukwila still has an appeal period. Vernon Umetsu,
DCD, noted the City's concerns regarding noise, esthetics, air quality,
and light and glare. According to Mr. Umetsu many mitigation
measures were worked out with King County including limiting
operating hours, removing back up beepers from trucks, increasing the
landscaping at the project site. Public works issues were also
addressed including the filtering of wash down water, road
maintenance fees, and participation in increasing the intersection
capacity as a result of increased truck traffic Implementation of these
measures would be the key problem according to Umetsu. He
explained that when the generating source is in one jurisdiction and
the receiving impacted area is in another jurisdiction, it increases the
complexity of administering the provisions.

Councilmember Moriwaki explained the City will be receiving an
additional $45,878 in Block Grant monies. Recommendations from
the Community Affairs and Parks committee and staff are to designate
$10,878 additional funds to house and home repair. The remaining
$35,000 would be used in a no interest loan program for hookup to
sewer connections for low income individuals. It is suggested that
should there be an additional allocation of CDBG funds, the excess be
used for the house and home repair program. Lynn Devoir,
Recreation Superintendent, stated approximately 100 Tukwila homes
could qualify to apply for the no interest loan program.
