Proposed agenda TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING AGENDA MINUTES Gardner, Davis, Harris, Johanson /053 Tukwila City Hall Council Chambers Councilwoman Davis clled the Committee of the Whole Meeting to order at 7:45 P.M. Dell Moss, King County liaison for the King County Housing and Development Act, explained to the City Council the benefits and community development funds that could be derived from participation in this Act that was put into effect in mid September. He answered questions and explained the restrictions that would be placed on the funds that are available if they are requested by the City of Tukwila. He stated the funds could be applied for on a year -by -year basis and would increase in amount each year so the City of Tukwila would be eligible for a total of $26,042 in three years. The money does not have to be used each year, but can accumulate and be used when so desired. He stated that the plans for use must be submitted and approved and there would be certain resctrictions on housing and other improvements. He stated that the Council would likely have to decide at their next Council meeting if they were going to make application as the date of January 29, 1975 was the deadline although they could apply another year if they missed that date. Councilman Sterling entered the Council of the Whole Meeting at 8:05 P.M. Mr. Moss offered to attend the Council meeting on Monday, January 20, to explain the program to others if it was desired. He also suggested that Council members contact Rich Elliott of the County Prosecutor's office and he would be able to tell them about the legal protection they would have if they make application for participation. Councilwoman Davis stated that various members of the Council have discussed the fact that the minutes of the Committee of the Whole meeting should not be approved at City Council meetings. Councilman Sterling stated he agreed with Councilwoman Davis' statement. Councilwoman Davis said that the minutes of the Committee of the Whole meeting could be approved et. Committee of the Whole meetings if it was necessary to approve them. Councilwoman Harris stated that she objected having the Committee of the Whole Meetings or the Agenda Meeting minutes submitted for approval at the regular City Council meetings. She added that when the City Council sits as a Committee of the Whole it is a separate body from that of the regular City Council meeting. She stated that on Monday and Thursday the Council sits as a committee and on City Council night they sit as a Council, and it did not make sense for one body to approve the minutes of another body. Councilman Gardner stated that the only minutes he wanted to approve were the regular City Council minutes. Councilwoman Davis stated that they would just have the minutes of the City Council meeting read for approval at the City Council meeting and the minutes of the Committee of the Whole meeting approved at the Committee of the Whole meetings. Councilwoman Harris stated that she thought it was a good idea for a Council representative to attend the meetings of the Arbitration Committee and she wished to nominate Councilwoman Davis to be on it. She added that she liked to have someone from the Council there to observe and report on it, although the fact that the Arbitration Committee meets tomorrow morning (Friday) at 9:00 A.M. makes the time element short.
