1993 Budget Review
Councilmember Hernandez reported that options for funding of
regional services, such as the pool and health contract, were presented
at the last Suburban Cities meeting she attended. Tukwila
Councilmembers in attendance did not care for the options presented,
however. Council President Ekberg reported that King County
responded unfavorably to Council's request that the county reconsider
their decision to reduce the hours of operation at local Forward Thrust
pools. The county feels the City should share the burden of operating
costs. Ekberg emphasized that he is totally against a regional facility
being picked up by the city, especially one that was put together with
Forward Thrust monies.
Councilmember Simpson reported he participated in a King County
Juvenile Diversion Program last week and will attend a three day
program in the near future. The program deals with "at risk" juveniles
and serves as an alternative to a criminal record. Eventually, Simpson
plans to help set up this type of program in Tukwila.
City Administrator John McFarland reported that letters from the
Mayor and Council would be sent to King County addressing some of
the City's concerns regarding the Regional Transportation Program.
Mayor Rants added that the RIP public hearing held last week was
sparsely attended. He commented on the draft EIS, noting that it did
not fit Tukwila's comprehensive plan at this time and that it does not
match up with Vision 2020.
John McFarland commented that the Tukwila Fire Department is
again coordinating the holiday program for disadvantaged families.
To date 38 needy families have been identified.
Finance Director Alan Doerschel led Council in their review of the
proposed budget and explained that funding alternatives for the public
safety issue are currently being developed and will be ready for
Council's review on November 23rd.
