The Council discussed revising the Sign Code (prompted by an application for a variance to the Tukwila Sign Code) from South Central School District to give schools a more liberal allowance for signage. However, many questions were raised such as: Would larger signs in Single Family Zones create a public nuisance? Would larger signs provide some public benefit? Should larger signs be permitted in Single Family zones? Would other areas of the City be affected by these changes. City Administrator McFarland informed the Council that he will meet with Rick Beeler and the City Attorney to discuss what elements will be required to appropriately address the Sign Code issue, while allowing the school to meet their construction schedule, and will report back to the Council at next Regular Council meeting of August 5. The Council discussed the proposed boundary adjustments between the Cities of Tukwila and Seattle. Mayor VanDusen addressed a letter to the Council which stated that the boundary has caused considerable complexity in providing emergency service, infrastructure maintenance, and development regulation since the annexation of Fire District #1. The letter outlined a plan of action where Tukwila's staff will work out some tentative boundary adjustment proposals for review by both city councils. It was the consensus of the Council authorize the Mayor to proceed with the proposed project work program of the need for common boundaries between the Cities of Tukwila and Seattle.
