Councilwoman Harris agreed that it was unusual to introduce an ordinance for the first reading the same night as the hearing. Council President Traynor stated that the City Council would have to react sometime on this matter. Councilwoman Harris stated that sometimes comments are made during the meeting that should be introduced in an ordinance. Councilman Johanson stated that he would like to separate hearings and ordinances but in this case he did not object to having it on the same agenda. Council President Traynor stated that the matter could be put in committee if they have to incorporate other things into the ordinance. Councilwoman Harris stated that she thought the City Council should develop a policy on this sort of thing so it would not happen again. Council President Traynor asked that the item be on the agenda for the City Council Meeting to be held May 19, 1975. Councilman Johanson stated that money for this matter had already been appropriated. Council President Traynor requested that this item be on the agenda for the next City Council Meeting.

Council President Traynor requested that this item be on the agenda for the next City Council Meeting. Bill Moore, Chairman of the Park Board, stated that the Park Board met on Tuesday and there was discussion about labor requirements for the park that needed to be done immediately. There are ball games scheduled to start in about two weeks; the girl's league has already done some of the work themselves but much of the work cannot be accomplished by them; there are bleachers to be set up, drinking fountains are being purchased and they need to be installed. Labor is badly needed so the City can make full use of this equipment during the summer. Bill Moore stated that the Park Board has determined they would need three people to do this work and they do not know where these people are going to come from. He added that he did not feel it is proper for the Park Board to recommend action to the City Council but generally the Park Board feels these people are necessary to be used for installation of park equipment and other park work. He stated that Mayor Todd had recommended CETA people be obtained which would result in no cost to the City; there were no strings attached to the employment of the CETA people. Bill Moore said that the Park Board wishes to have the City Council consider this recommendation as soon as possible, at the next City Council Meeting if possible. He stated that he would prepare a letter addressed to Council President Traynor setting forth the need of the Park Department to have all facilities ready for summer use. TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOT,F MEETING (AGENDA) May 15, 1975 Page 3 CONSIDERATION OF THE PROPOSED AGENDA Request for CETA personnel to be used for Park Department Contd. ADJOURNMENT 8 :50 P.M. Contd. Noi'na Booher, Recording Secretary Council President Traynor stated that as soon as the letter is received it will go to the Community Affairs Committee for action. Bill Moore added that he felt the Park Board had more information now as to what the CETA people they were requesting would be used for and why three people were needed for use by the Park Department. He stated that he would give this detailed information at the next Community Affairs meeting. Councilwoman Harris stated that Richard Hunt, Recreation Supervisor, had mentioned that the bleachers had been stored since last October and installation was necessary. The installation comes under the direction of the Department of Public Works. Bill Moore stated that it is a matter of priorities; that the Department of Public Works has had many projects and he feels there may have been a lack of communication and this installa- tion of park equipment had been put on priority. Councilwoman Harris asked if the three people that were needed would be working in the Public Works Department, but could they be used exclusively by the Recreation Department? Was there any possibility that they might be side tracked or used on other projects? Council President Traynor stated that he felt the City Council should clearly state that these people be used exclusively by the Park Department if their hiring is approved. Councilwoman Harris stated that we have a lot of people working for the City and the City Council should encourage that the needs of the Park Department be put on a higher priority so they can get done. Councilman Sterling joined the Committee of the Whole Meeting (Agenda) at 8:30 P.M. Bill Moore, Chairman of the Park Board, stated that he was not equipped to discuss the order of priorities, but the Park Board has requested and they would like to have the bleachers set up by certain dates in order to be useful; there are lots of things that have been accomplished and it is time for the work to be done for the Park; there is a tennis court that needs to be made usable it will take some work it is all labor -type work; a rest room of some sort is needed; drinking fountains to be installed; this work is located mainly at the Central School site. He added that the Park Board felt that the three people would be needed just for the summer. Councilman Johanson stated that the City Council had anticipated that Administration was going to hire these CETA people through the schools. Bill Moore stated that the one problem was that the help is needed now and is not available at this time because school is in session. Councilwoman Harris asked if there is a guarantee or warranty on the equipment if it is installed by other than the manufacturer. She stated that in some cases where equipment is installed by the purchaser it cancels the warranty. Bill Moore advised that the guarantees by the manufacturer were on the quality of the equipment. Councilwoman Harris asked if it would cost the City to hire CETA personnel with respect to social security and other benefits that would have to be paid on their wages. Bill Moore stated that he had asked and was told there would be no cost to the City on CETA people that were hired. Councilwoman Davis stated that this matter could be discussed at the next Committee meeting. Bill Moore stated that the first concern of the Park Board is the Central School area; that it be worked on so it can be used as soon as possible, as there are many activities already in progress and the use of the facilities is needed at once.
