Councilmember Hernandez shared information obtained at the
Regional Services Committee of the Suburban Cities Association on
the Regional Justice Center which will be on the ballot in November.
If approved, the five year, $166.2 million levy will cost homeowners
$30 per year per $100,000 home. Hernandez reported that the health
department also gave a presentation on the proposal to completely
revamp the health department system. Their proposal includes the
strategy to give Suburban Cities some representation in an advisory
capacity on the Public Health Advisory Committee.
City Administrator John McFarland told Council that the baby shower
held at the community center to benefit the Interim Care Center in
Kent was a huge success. Ann Keefe and Linda McFarland organized
the event with the support of many city employees.
Finance Director Alan Doerschel distributed copies of the Proposed
1993 -1998 Financial Planning Model and Capital Improvement
Program and briefly explained the contents of the 157 page report.
Council will meet in a special work session on October 14 to discuss
the report in depth.
Mayor Rants reported that King County has made a proposal to
reduce the hours of operation of 12 suburban city pools in order to cut
back their expenditures for 1993. Rants emphasized that the
proposed reduction is directed at suburban pools only and would not
affect the unincorporated pools. Rants noted the consensus of the
Suburban Cities Association was that treating swimming pools inside
city limits differently than those located outside city limits does not
convey true regional approach. Suburban Cities is looking at
solutions.
Council President Ekberg added his congratulations to Ann Keefe and
Linda McFarland, Interim Care baby shower coordinators, and city
staff for their work on the successful baby shower.
