Councilman Van Dusen stated he requested the letter of appointment prepared by the previous Mayor to be on the Agenda because he believed that by the date of Mayor Todd's letter, it would take preference, that it is unfinished business. Councilman Hill requested Mayor Todd's letter be read. City Clerk Shirlee Kinney stated the letter was requested to be added by Councilman Van Dusen, but the request was beyond the time of preparation of the Agenda. She read Mayor Todd's letter of January 9, 1976 appointing Mr. Glen Anderson to Position No. 2 and Mr. Lewis Mitchell to Position No. 5 of the Planning Commission and Mr. Charles Dow to Position No. 2 and Mr. George Hull to Position No. 4 of the Board of Adjustment. Mayor Bauch turned the gavel over to Council President Traynor in order to enter into the discussion. Mayor Bauch stated Mayor Todd's letter was on the Agenda, but he had removed it when he took office on January TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL MEETING January 19, 1976 Page 2 APPOINTMENTS Cont. Planning Commission and Board of Adjustment Cont. Municipal Court Judge City Attorney 12, 1976. He stated Mayor Todd's letter was dated January 9 and he felt there had been ample time to make these appointments prior to the last meeting in December. At this point, he felt it was an inoperative letter. Councilman Hill stated the statutes require the Mayor to make the appointments and Frank Todd was the Mayor on January 9 at which time the letter was presented to the City Council. He stated he did not think it made any difference which City Council con- siders the letters we are all interested in seeing the best people in the community serve. He suggested the letters be considered in the order they were sub- mitted. Councilwoman Harris stated there seems to be agreement on the appointments of Mr. Dow and Mr. Hull and she felt it was more proper at this time to consider Mayor Bauch's letter. Councilwoman Pesicka stated she would like to consider both letters, but she would rather see Mr. Hull serve on the Board of Adjust- ment rather than the Planning Commission because she felt it was important that the Planning Commission members be residents of the City. Mayor Bauch stated the T.M.C. stated the members of the Board of Adjust- ment should be residents unless special consideration is given to a non resident by the Council. We now have members of the Planning Commission who are cor- porate residents. Councilman Saul stated he felt the people of the corporations of the City should be included on the Planning Commission although they should remain the minority membership, and the Board of Adjustment appointments should be residents of the City. He stated it is difficult to know what is fair in this situation. Frank Todd stated he was Mayor up to Noon on January 12, 1976. He asked to know what authority anyone has to intercept an official letter to the City Council and substitute another letter of his own. He stated it seemed highly irregular. Councilwoman Pesicka suggested considering each appointment separately rather than decide which letter to consider first. All we want is to get the best person for the job. MOVED BY HILL, SECONDED BY MS. PESICKA, TO PLACE BOTH LETTERS OF APPOINTMENT IN THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE FOR THE MEETING JANUARY 26, 1976. CARRIED, WITH MS. HARRIS VOTING NO. Council President Traynor read a letter from Mayor Bauch dated January 15, 1976 to the City Council re- appointing Frank Payne as Municipal Court Judge. MOVED BY SAUL, SECONDED BY MS. HARRIS, TO RE- APPOINT FRANK PAYNE AS MUNICIPAL COURT JUDGE. CARRIED. Council President Traynor read a letter from Mayor Bauch dated January 15, 1976 to the City Council retaining the law firm of LeSourd, Patten, Fleming and Hartung to represent the City with Larry Hard as designated City Attorney. The letter stated the firm would also be retained to represent the City for land use matters. MOVED BY MS. HARRIS, SECONDED BY SAUL, THAT THE MAYOR'S APPOINTMENT OF THE LAW FIRM LeSOURD, PATTEN, FLEMING HARTUNG FOR CITY ATTORNEY FOR THE CITY OF TUKWILA BE CONFIRMED.* TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL MEETING January 19, 1976 Page 3 APPOINTMENTS Cont. City Attorney Cont. *CARRIED, WITH HILL AND VAN DUSEN VOTING NO. /44/ Councilman Hill asked if the City has a proposed contract with this firm or will their services be dictated by the R.C.W.'s and our ordinances in other words, what will we get for our money? Mayor Bauch stated he checked with the Association of Wash- ington Cities regarding a contract and Mr. Kinsey stated they had never been asked about that before and in checking they found no information regarding this type of a contract. There are letters of agree- ment that can be drawn up and Mr. Fleming has stated he would agree to draw up a contract if so desired. Mayor Bauch stated it may be a conflict of interest however for the firm to draw up its own contract. He stated the firm has agreed to follow the require- ments of the Tukwila Municipal Code regarding the re- quirements of the City Attorney. Councilman Hill stated he would like to avoid the situation we had with the City Attorney previous to Mr. Parker in which 15 minute phone calls and a half hour's worth of research were billed to the City every time some one from the City had a question. Mr. Parker has considered all of this work as part of his retain- er and he would like to see some agreement with the new firm stating some of these little contingencies. Mayor Bauch stated he would not agree to hire a City Attorney on a time basis, only on a retainage basis. Councilman Hill read the duties of the City Attorney from the T.M.C. Mayor Bauch cited negotiations in purchasing property for the City or settling labor negotiations as examples of extra fees and duties of the City Attorney. Councilman Van Dusen stated he was uncertain about this appointment because he had nothing in writing in front of him regarding the history of the firm, the types of clients they have served, whether or not the firm has any conflict of interest, and whether the consulting fees are within the firm or with another firm. How do we communicate with this firm? If we use the land use attorney, is he a specialist in land use? He would like to have some of these questions answered first. Council President Traynor stated Mr. Hard will speak directly and clearly in terms we all understand and he will tell us if we are right or wrong. The firm has a very good land use attorney available. Councilman Van Dusen asked if the City is going to be charged for consulting with another attorney in the firm for land use questions. Mayor Bauch stated the retainer means there is no limit to what we can go to them for. They have read the re- quirements of the land use ordinance and they are agreeing to comply on a retainer basis, not an hourly basis. Council President Traynor stated he felt confident this firm would represent the City of Tuk- wila, not just one part of the City. Councilman Hill asked about the separate amount funded in the budget for a land use attorney. Mayor Bauch stated there is a retainer for the land use attorney and a retainer for the City Attorney. Mr. Frank Todd asked who the Mayor proposes to rep- resent the City and the City Council when the law suit involving Frank Todd is appealed. He stated this should be considered. TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL MEETING January 19, 1976 Page 4 APPOINTMENTS Cont. City Attorney Cont. PETITIONS, COMMUNICATIONS, APPEALS AND SIMILAR MATTERS Notice of certification of competency for Wash. St. Water Works Operators State Highway Commission request to set meeting date OLD BUSINESS Letter from Steve Hall re: project costs for LID #27 Attorney Parker stated he had a letter from Mayor Bauch instructing him to take the January 20 court cases, but we had an appeal in Superior Court today which was delayed and scheduled for Friday for trial. He asked when the appointment of the new firm becomes effective so he would know who would be taking the case. Mayor Bauch asked if Attorney Parker had pre- pared for the case. Attorney Parker replied yes. Mayor Bauch stated he would then handle it. Attorney Parker stated he could not handle it unless he was the City Attorney. Mayor Bauch suggested they dis- cuss the matter later. City Clerk Shirlee Kinney read a letter from Tom A. Shepherd, Board Secretary, State Department of Social and Health Services dated December 12, 1975 congrat- ulating Eugene M. Isler and Richard K. Williams for completing their course. Mayor Bauch presented the Water Works Specialists III certificates to Mr. Isler and to Mr. Williams, congratulating both. Mayor Bauch requested the City Council to set a date to meet with representatives from the State Highway Commission regarding signalization at 58th Ave. So. and Interurban Ave. MOVED BY TRAYNOR, SECONDED BY MS.

Mayor Bauch requested that Agenda Items 7a., 7b., 8a., 10a., lOb., 10c. and lla. be removed from the Agenda. He explained that these items were tabled from the last meeting and in order to get these back on the table for consideration, this Motion must be mad( MOVED BY TRAYNOR, SECONDED BY MS. HARRIS, THAT AGENDA ITEMS 7a., 7b., 8a., 10a., lOb., 10c. and lla. BE REMOVED FROM THE AGENDA. CARRIED. Council President Traynor requested Steve Hall, Public Works Director, to give a brief review of LID #27. Steve Hall reviewed the area of the LID and the costs involved. He requested the City Council to either authorize him to go ahead with the project to the design in order to obtain construction costs or to call for another preliminary assessment roll based upon the rising costs as we now estimate them. Discussion followed. Councilwoman Harris suggested referring all matters regarding LID #27 to the newly appointed City Attorney in light of the law suit which helped create the LID concept for the storm drainage problem. Councilwoman Pesicka stated she felt the Council would be able to go ahead with the call for bids since the Council is able to reject bids if there is any problem in the meantime. Jon Stack, Harstad Associates, stated the critical point is to get the bids awarded and then we can nail down the costs. The construction of the facili- ties is not the problem. Discussion continued. Steve Hall stated that before we can call for bids based upon completion of the design, there are three TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL MEETING January 19, 1976 Page 5 OLD BUSINESS Cont. LID #27 Cont. Request for waiver to Resolution 489 for rezone Harvey M. Anderson i4 <i3 things which have to be completed. First, we are still in the process of revising the State Flood Control permit; second, we are still negotiating an intertie with the State Highway Commission; and third, we are working on an alternate location for the pump station. MOVED BY MS. HARRIS, SECONDED BY GARDNER, THAT THE ENTIRE FILE ON LID #27 BE PRESENTED TO THE LAW FIRM FOR STUDY AND ADVICE TO BE RECEIVED PRIOR TO THE TIME THE PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR CALLS FOR BIDS.* Steve Hall stated he needs only Council direction whether or not to call for bids or to hold a new public hearing on a new preliminary assessment roll. Councilman Hill asked how long it would take to be ready to call for bids. Steve Hall stated the engineer, Jon Stack, indicated 30 days. Attorney Parker stated the law suit Councilwoman Harris refers to is now settled. Councilman Saul stated this LID will go to the new attorney at some point in time anyway. Council President Traynor stated he did not feel another preliminary assessment roll is necessary because the project has got to get done. Mr. Chris Crumbaugh stated the Segale Business Park is totally in favor of the LID since it did resolve the lawsuit Mr. Segale was involved in. Jon Stack stated one of the reasons the City is con- cerned is that costs have gone higher than the origin- al feasibility study indicated. In light of that, we either start over with a public hearing on a new preliminary assessment roll with the participants still basing the costs upon the engineer's estimate, but we will not know what the costs are actually going to be until we open the bids for construction. He recommended the Council go ahead with authorizing completion of the design and call for bids. At that time, if the costs are too high, we can hold an addi- tional hearing. *MOTION FAILED WITH GARDNER AND MS. HARRIS VOTING YES. MOVED BY TRAYNOR, SECONDED BY SAUL, TO ALLOW STAFF TO SET THE CALL FOR BIDS BASED UPON THE BEST FEASIBLE DESIGN. CARRIED, WITH MS. HARRIS VOTING NO. Councilwoman Harris stated this item had been in the Community Affairs Committee. She explained the item and the location of the property and that the property does conform with the land use plan as the rezone in- tends. MOVED BY TRAYNOR, SECONDED BY VAN DUSEN, TO APPROVE THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION FOR WAIVER DATED NOVEMBER 26, 1975.* Discussion followed regarding cuts in hillside areas. Mayor Bauch stated this property was excluded from the participants of LID #27 as it is currently zoned R -1 and he felt it would be appropriate at this time to recommend to the Planning Commission that there is a late comers stipulation for LID #27 to consider when this does come in for the rezone. Councilwoman Harris agreed, stating however that the Council is only concerned with the waiver at this point. *CARRIED.

City Treasurer Mae Harris replied the City received a quarterly franchise fee based on the number of televisions serviced in the City. *CARRIED. City Clerk Shirlee Kinney read a letter of protest regarding the LID signed by Gus Y. Nikaitani, Harold Wynn, Rod Esping, Sylvan Caditz. Councilwoman Harris requested further explanation of the assess- ments on 57th Ave. So. Steve Hall, Public Works Director, stated 57th Ave. was included in the LID because it had been included as part of the rezone granted to Mr. Harrison, but the street can be delet- ed if the Council desires. Discussion continued. Mr. Robert Hawkins, URS Company, reviewed the map of the LID. Councilman Hill stated he would like to see the City participate to some degree in the LID and that a late comers agreement be included so that when this other raw property is developed, they will be paying their fair share of the cost of improve- ments. Steve Hall responded to the three points in the protest letter: 1. This item refers only to the undergrounding portion of improvements; 2. Even though access is provided by deed, the access is not sufficient as far as sight distance it is a dan- gerous corner. He distributed photos of the area of access to the Council, stating the minimum sight distance on a curve such as that is 200 feet. Dis- cussion continued regarding the easement and access to Macadam Rd. Mr. Harold Wynn discussed the developers agreement with the LaVista property, stating he could not see any reason for the other properties to be assessed in this LID. The proposed assessments are costing almost as much as the land is worth. Mr. Graydon Smith stated he has researched this a little further and found that Mr. Wynn paid about $4,000 for the TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL MEETING January 19, 1976 Page 8 FIRST READING OF ORDINANCES Cont. LID #28 Cont. Ordinance 961, Amending Section 1 of Ord. 954 clarify- ing legal descrip- tion of Gjerde annexation property he owns which is the same size as he purchas- ed for $100,000. He stated he did not feel his building permit would be issued until the street is put in. He stated he has already installed the 8- inch water line at his fair share of the costs. Mr. Smith stated he would not object to 57th Ave. being deleted from the LID, but he did feel the rest of the LID should go through. Steve Hall, Public Works Director, stated when Mr. Smith came in with his development proposals, staff researched the records and found the existing agreement for property develop- ment attached to the rezone. We completed an agree- ment with Mr. Smith and proceeded to form the LID. He stated he felt Mr. Smith has followed the City's ordinances and has complied with all the requirements at staff and City Council levels up to this point. He stated it was his opinion that 152nd is an inade- quate street at this time. Mr. Hawkins stated the right -of -way on Mr. Smith's property has been donated and the rest along 152nd must be purchased by the City. Discussion continued. MOVED BY SAUL, SECONDED BY TRAYNOR, THAT PROPOSED ORDINANCE BE READ BY TITLE ONLY.* City Clerk Shirlee Kinney read corrections to the ordinance. *CARRIED, WITH HILL VOTING NO. Attorney Parker read proposed ordinance ordering the improvement of pro- perty within the City of Tukwila, Washington, along portions of South 152nd Street and 57th Avenue South by acquisition of additional public right -of -way, grading, widening and paving the street surface., in- stalling sidewalks, curbs and gutters, installing storm drainage, storm sewers and sanitary sewers, water facilities, underground utilities and street illumination, all in accordance with Resolution No. 507 of the City of Tukwila, Washington; establishing Local Improvement District No. 28; providing that payment for said improvements be made by special assessments upon property in said District payable by the mode of "payment by bond and providing for the issuance and sale of local improvement district warrants redeemable in cash and local improvement district bonds, by title only. Councilwoman Pesicka stated she would like to see the City involved in the undergrounding costs of the LID improvements. Councilman Saul disagreed, stating over 50% of the area of the LID is supporting the LID. He felt the City should move ahead with the ordinance as it is. Steve Hall, Public Works Director, stated the lang- uage of the ordinance regarding undergrounding por- tion can be amended and funds may be available from whatever surplus there may be in the budget for under grounding. Councilman Traynor stated the purpose of the City's undergrounding project is not to make everyone's land more developable. MOVED BY HILL, SECONDED BY MS.

Thomas Bernard, Cabot, Cabot Forbes, suggesting three objectives to be included in the Natural Environment Element. Mr. Bernard stated these same objectives could also be included in the General Goals as well as in the separate elements of the Plan. Kjell Stoknes stated he would like to see this as brief as possible. It is not the intent of the Plan to interfere with private property owners. The City Council may agree to amend the General Goals at the end of the revision of the Plan. Mr. Chris Crumbaugh, Segale Business Park, stated a letter had been submitted from Mr. Bruce Solly also. City Clerk Shirlee Kinney read a letter dated January 19, 1976 from Bruce W. Solly recommending that the Natural Environment Element adoption be postponed until all other proposed revisions of the Comprehensive Plan are available and recommending a public hearing with notices to all property owners be held on the adoption of the map. Councilman Saul stated landowners have been involved in this revision all along. Kjell Stoknes, Planning Director, stated the map was devised from the data inventory by the Planning Department and reviewed by the citizens and the Planning Commission and the City Council. Mr. Crumbaugh stated he felt there should be another public hearing on the map because he did not feel the citizens are aware of the impact.

Mayor Bauch reported the article in the Record Chronicle on January 18 regarding former King County Councilman Forsythe's interest in the City's Adminis- trative Coordinator position is unfounded and without basis. He stated there has been no collaboration or contact by him with Mr. Forsythe. He stated he was approached by Mr. Forsythe during budget sessions about the position, but Mayor Bauch informed him there was no funding for the position at that time. He stated he has not considered Mr. Forsythe for the position and he is still trying to formulate the type of position necessary. At the present time there is no room at City Hall for this person to work. Councilwoman Harris stated the Council has received a letter from Mr. Hoefling regarding street condi- tions in front of his house.
