OFFICIALS Present were Verna Griffin, Council President; Councilmembers Joe Duffle, Joan Hernandez, Pam Carter, Pam Linder and Dennis Robertson. Councilmember Haggerton was not present. ATTENDANCE Steve Mullet, Mayor; Rhonda Berry, City Administrator; Kevin Fuhrer, Finance Director; Jim Morrow, Public Works Director; David Haynes, Police Chief; Jack Pace, Acting Community Development Director; Don Tomaso, Fire Marshal; Derek Speck, Economic Development Administrator; Mary Miotke, IT Manager; Jane Cantu, City Clerk; Barbara Saxton, Administrative Support Coordinator. CITIZEN COMMENT There were no citizen comments. SPECIAL ISSUES a. Surplus of City -owned property on South 180th Street Councilmember Robertson (reporting for Councilmember Haggerton) stated this item received unanimous approval from the Finance Safety Committee on June 4, 2007. The buildings on the site need to be razed, and therefore bring no value over the raw land value. The biggest limiting factor to this property is it is accessible only from the westbound lanes, which reduces its value as a retail /commercial property. He noted that the City paid considerably more for the property than it can be sold for, due to the judgment associated with the condemnation procedure. The $480,000 recommended by the appraiser is less than King County's appraised value, but that is because the county included the value of the two buildings. If you take the two buildings away, $480,000 appears to be a fair market price. Kevin Fuhrer, Finance Director, explained that the last time these buildings were utilized was during the construction of the South 180th Street underpass. The building at 7210 South 180th Street (commonly referred to as the Candle Shop) is in a very deteriorated state. This past winter the City had to do temporary patches to repair the roof on the warehouse at 7220 South 180th Street. This is also an opportunity to put these two properties back on the tax rolls, and the City has had some third parties express interest in them. Mr. Fuhrer noted that those interested parties could be notified when the public notice was sent, advising them the City was accepting sealed bids. He also reported that Public Works will be identifying the areas on those two lots where city frontage improvements were completed (bike /pedestrian path and retaining wall) in order to include that information in the bid notice also. City of Tukwila City Council Committee of the Whole Minutes Page 2 of 7 June 11. 2007 COUNCIL CONSENSUS EXISTED TO FORWARD THIS ITEM TO THE NEXT REGULAR MEETING. b. Permit application for fireworks display at Starfire Sports Complex Councilmember Robertson (reporting for Councilmember Haggerton) stated this item received unanimous approval from the Finance Safety Committee on June 4, 2007. This item is being brought forward in plenty of time for the 4th of July display. It was also noted that the applicant, Mr. Tom Whitacre, is the same gentleman who has conducted the display for the last several years. Don Tomaso, Fire Marshal, reported that he has now heard back from the City of Renton and they have no opposition to the plan. He also confirmed that they are currently working with the Police Department regarding crowd control for the event. Councilmember Linder clarified that the $10,000 cost for the display comes from the Parks Recreation Department's budget. COUNCIL CONSENSUS EXISTED TO FORWARD THIS ITEM TO THE NEXT REGULAR MEETING. c. Adoption of 2006 International Fire Code Councilmember Robertson (reporting for Councilmember Haggerton) stated this item received unanimous approval from the Finance Safety Committee on June 4, 2007. These items are mainly administrative changes and corrections to the Code. Mr. Tomaso stated that the most substantial change is a reduction from 10,000 square feet to 5,000 square feet for commercial buildings requiring a sprinkler system. This will provide both a savings of water and increased safety for firefighters. He explained that our first alarm responders can deliver between 1,200 and 1,500 gallons of water per minute, which is usually what would be required to contain a 5,000 square -foot structure. If a building has sprinklers, they would activate and help keep the fire from escalating to a point where much larger amounts of water would be required to control it. He also explained that specifying a specific color of red paint in the Code should help streamline this compliance process for businesses, as this is a common question received by Fire Department personnel. Mr. Tomaso clarified the changes noted in his memo dated May 29, 2007 to Section 14.24 of the TMC regarding hydrants have already been incorporated into the Code in a previous ordinance. There was also discussion regarding the fact that some cities (including Redmond, Kirkland and Olympia) are now requiring sprinkler systems in residential construction to enhance fire safety for those occupants. The installation costs have come down substantially, making sprinklers a good option for cities trying to reduce the surface area of access roads and still maintain a level of safety for citizens. COUNCIL CONSENSUS EXISTED TO FORWARD THIS ITEM TO THE NEXT REGULAR MEETING. d. Transportation improvement Program for 2008 -2013 Councilmember Carter stated this item received unanimous approval from the Transportation Committee on May 29, 2007. She explained that a project must be included in the City's Transportation Improve- ment Program (TiP) if the City wants to apply for grant funding for it or collect transportation impact fees. Staff has looked at the plan passed last December and has added one new project this year. Jim Morrow, Public Works Director, clarified this new project is a left-turn pocket at the intersection of Macadam Road and South 144th Street (site of the Macadam Winter Garden). A public hearing on the TIP is scheduled to be held next week (June 18). Councilmember Linder questioned the need for the new left -turn pocket as she rarely encounters other cars in this area. Mr. Morrow stated that future growth is projected into the model looking 10 years down the road —as well as reviewing the service levels, to determine how long cars would have to wait at each intersection. Based upon the anticipated growth, the model shows the service level at this location will deteriorate to a point where significant backups will occur if the left -hand turn pocket is not developed.
