HARRIS, SECONDED BY HILL, TO AMEND THE AGENDA TO INCLUDE THE SUBJECT OF THE KING COUNTY SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN. MOTION CARRIED. Ms. Harris explained that in October 1971 the Council adopted a Resolution authorizing King County to prepare a plan for the City's solid waste management for inclusion in the County Comprehensive Plan. The County plan was done pursuant to a directive from the State Legislature that all counties will develop such a plan. The plan is now complete and a proposed Resolution is ready to be presented to the Tukwila City Council. MOVED BY MS. HARRIS, SECONDED BY SAUL, TO SCHEDULE A PUBLIC HEARING FOR SEPTEMBER 7, 1976, TO ALLOW CITIZEN INPUT ON THE KING COUNTY SOLID WASTE PROGRAM.* Hill suggested a work meeting for the Council prior to the Public Hearing to review the Plan with Steve Hall, Public Works Director, and Kjell Stoknes, Director of the Office of Community Development.

Deputy City Attorney Hard read an Ordinance providing for the transfer of cash from the Fire Fighting Equipment Fund and Fire Station Construction Fund to the Current Fund. Mayor Bauch explained that you can transfer money from special funds to close them out when they are no longer needed, and this is just a bookkeeping matter. MOVED BY HILL, SECONDED BY SAUL, THAT THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE BE READ BY TITLE ONLY.* Councilman Traynor expressed the opinion that if it is turned down by the people again, he hopes that it won't keep coming back to the Council table year after year. Gardner asked about the possibility of matching funds. Kjell Stoknes, Director of the Office of Community Development, explained that if you accept matching funds, it ties the use of the property to out- door recreation only and takes away any opportunity you have for putting indoor -type facilities on it. His impression from the former Council was that for the possible funding of only 10% to 12 it wasn't worth losing the flexibility of the use of the property. *MOTION CARRIED.

MOVED BY HILL, SECONDED BY TRAYNOR, THAT THE PROPOSED RESOLUTION BE READ BY TITLE ONLY. MOTION CARRIED. Deputy City Attorney Hard read a Resolution authorizing the Mayor to negotiate and execute an agreement with Northwest Cablevision for participation in TV Cable undergrounding. MOVED BY HILL, SECONDED BY TRAYNOR, THAT RESOLUTION NO. 551 BE ADOPTED AS READ.* Mayor Bauch informed the Council that TelePrompter has started work on the undergrounding and is showing good faith based on the anticipated passage of this resolution. The draft agreement is being reviewed by the City Attorney and the Public Works Director. Hill questioned Item 1 of the resolution The City will participate to the extent that it assists Pacific Northwest Bell'. Next year, the assistance to the Telephone Company will be double what it is this year. The tariff for the Telephone Company is based on number of lots they pass in front of. Ms. Harris wondered how much actual work TelePrompTer would be doing? Mayor Bauch stated they would be doing everything except digging the ditch and backfilling. He stated that it is the intention of Cable TV to run the conduct to every house if the home owner will allow it. Traynor suggested adding 'at the 1976 rate' to Item #1. Attorney Hard stated that it has not been clear what the Council meant as to "participating to the extent that it assists Pacific Northwest Bell." 'Are you talking about total dollars per year, total lot charge, or what are you willing to do Hill suggested participating to the extent of $120 per lot for 1976, then $150 per lot in 1977 and thereafter. Ms. Pesicka suggested leaving it negotiable for next year as they may not need $150 per lot. MOVED BY MS.

Res. #551 Authorizing the Mayor to negotiate an agreement with Northwest Cablevision- Cont. Proposed Resolution setting an election to be held November 2, 1976, to consider purchase of Foster Golf Course Res. #552 Interim Financing on LID #27 DEPARTMENT REPORTS Mayor's Report Treasurer's Report NO MISCELLANEOUS AND FURTHER AUDIENCE COMMENTS License Committee /6c23 Attorney Hard stated that the contract that is going to be signed will identify specifically each phase. He feels the Mayor needs direction from the Council on the scope of this agreement. He also stated that he does not like Item #3 (Northwest Cablevision shall post a bond equal to the value of the City's participation in the project.) and does not think it is needed. He would propose a contract be negotiated where the City withholds a percentage of the money until the project is done. The bond could be increased somewhat but not to the extent of Item #3. Discussion on the wording continued. Mayor Bauch assured the Council that he would drive a hard bargain. *AMENDMENT TO THE RESOLUTION CARRIED WITH HILL VOTING NO.

Prior Associates. Mayor Bauch announced that he will be on vacation September 4 through 18 so he will not be at the Regular Meeting of September 7, 1976.
