COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT /RECREATION
Discussion was held on line item requests.
Mr. Stoknes asked the Council to reconsider his request for an additional
$5,000 in Extra Labor as there has been a rapid expansion in the Team
Sport Programs. Hill asked if there was any requirements that the
people participating live in Tukwila or that the sponsors are within
the City boundaries. Richard Hunt noted that the majority of those
participating either work or live in the City. Traynor suggested
setting a maximum on the number of teams involved in any one sport and
was told that the limited number of facilities available already
does this.
Discussion was held on maintenance of the sport facilities (watering
and lining of fields, placing bases, etc) and it was suggested to pull
this function out of the Park Maintenance Department and place it in
the Recreation Department. Traynor suggested raising the Extra Labor
by $2,500 but stated that he still thought the Park Maintenance
Department should do the job.
Council agreed to raise the Extra Labor to $22,500. They also agreed
to $500 for Overtime within the Department. They further agreed the
remainder of the line item requests were reasonable.
BUILDING /GENERAL FACILITIES DIVISION
After review, the Council agreed to the line item requests in this
budget. It was suggested that the Building Official contact two or
three people for Building Maintenance Projects rather than doing them
himself.
BUILDING /CODE ENFORCEMENT
Al Pieper, Building Official, explained that, if necessary, he puts
in overtime on large projects rather than send them out for Plan
Review. He requested an Overtime item be added to the proposed
budget. Council agreed to $500. Council further agreed on the
remaining line item requests.
OCD PLANNING DIVISION
Fred Satterstrom, Associate Planner, explained that the Extra Labor was
for a Summer Intern Program. This would be a college student in
urban planning or related field to do specific field work (e.g., land
use and sign inventory, sidewalk counts).
