*CARRIED, WITH TRAYNOR AND JOHANSON VOTING NO.
Mayor Todd explained the Council had amended the Agenda to include
this discussion after the Executive Session. MOVED BY TRAYNOR,
SECONDED BY STERLING, THAT THE MAYOR'S PROPOSAL AS STATED IN HIS
LETTER TO THE COUNCIL DATED JUNE 4, 1974 BE ACCEPTED.* A copy of
this letter is on file in the City Clerk's office. Councilwoman
Harris asked about the time table on this Program of undergrounding.
Steve Hall stated we would be waiting abour 4 months to get start-
ed with it, after the date of the Puget Sound Power Light labor
strike settlement. Councilwoman Harris asked if this expenditure
plus the increased costs of the City's labor contracts would de-
plete the Contingency Fund. Mayor Todd replied no, it would bring
the Fund down to its legal limit. Councilwoman Harris stated the
legal function of the Contingency Fund is for unexpected emergency
expenditures. The Street Program does not apply and we will have
a low balance in the Contingency Fund for the remainder of the
year. She questioned the wisdom of this proposal. Mayor Todd
stated it is advisable to do so in light of the law and the review
of the auditor. Councilwoman Harris stated she is not in favor of
going into this without some further study. It will be October at
the earliest before we can even get started. The City Council
should take a harder look at this. Councilman Gardner asked if
the 1974 Program will be followed. Mayor Todd replied we will be
taking care of the first year's work. *ROLL CALL VOTE: 5 AYES
