Chamber of Commerce, distributed a letter to the Council requesting
there be no change made in the green fees for Foster Golf Links.
Jan Thoresen, Tukwila /Sea -Tac Chamber of Commerce, stated the
Chamber would like a mailing sent to the business district so they
will know about and can offer input to the sidewalk policy. There
are five issues still unresolved.
The Council discussed what they would like to see built, what
can be moved up in schedule, and what can be delayed. Moving
the schedule up will have important implications for projects
planned in 1988 and 1989.
The Transportation Committee's initiative for the Southcenter
Boulevard /Interurban /Grady Way Improvements was discussed. It
was recommended that $30,000 be programmed in the 1988 budget to
