MINUTES
Council President Robertson called the committee of The Whole
Meeting of the Tukwila City Council to order with councilmembers
present as listed above.
Council President Robertson asked the Council if they wanted to
postpone tonight's discussion of the 1992 Budget until next week
because the prior Special Meeting's subject matter was so exhausting.

REGULAR MEETING OF OCTOBER 7, 1991.
Councilmember Moriwaki reported that Foster Library has opened up
their Star Research Center, a place for students in the South Central
School District to do their homework.
Councilmember Rants reported that he attended the first meeting of the
new Puget Sound Regional Government today. First on the agenda was
"Intergovernmental Cooperation," how each of the four Counties:
Kitsap, Pierce, King and Snohomish are working together. He
continued that Tacoma has begun their express bus service, in service
now for about six months to a year ago. This was a joint effort with
Pierce County Transit and Metro. They planned on 400 riders per day.
They're running currently at 1300 riders per day (from Tacoma to
Seattle). Rants stated there are federal funds forthcoming on the heavy
commuter rail. There are presently 15 millions dollars for start-up
studies this year; and 10 millions dollars for next year. The proposed
cost will run about one hundred million dollars.

City of Renton's draft mitigation document for the proposed
RABANCO facility, and informed the Council that Renton has asked
Tukwila staff to review the document and return comments by Friday,

Don Williams commented that the dissention between the
administration and council is beginning to affect everyone. He stated he
hopes these issues will be put to rest so that wounds may healed,
because the operation of the City must go on regardless.
