John Wilson, Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, presented a video tape called The Business Place." This tape was pro- duced under the City's contract with the Chamber. The tape would not have been possible without volunteer effort. There are about 312 volunteer hours on the part of the Public Relations Committee. In addition to the volunteers there were other benefits received in the production of the video that saved money. First, Jack Link, did the narration for nothing and Pacific Northwest Bell donated the use of their technical facility in Seattle at a reduced rate. This has been a cooperative effort among a lot of people. The video tape was shown and received will be everyone. The comment was made that something on City Government should have been included. Also, it should have shown more about the residential neighborhoods. a. Approval of Vouchers Claims Fund Vouchers #32780 #32980 Current Fund City Street Arterial Street Fire Equip. Cum.

The new development on the Mikami property has petitioned for a gra- vity, sanitary sewer line to be constructed north 1300 feet. Staff wants to extend it an additional 500 feet in order to pick up additional property. The public hearing date on page 2 of the resolution was set for March 7, 1988, at 7:00 p.m. Iry Iverson, 1737 Harbor Ave. South, said he is the owner of the property where McDonalds and Sizzlers are located. There is no question but what there is a need for this sewer. One of the reasons it was never done is because the property to the south was not ready; now that they are willing to proceed with development, it is the natural extension of that sewer to take care of my property also as it is one on a private lift station. *MOTION CARRIED. Byron Sneva, Public Works Director, reported that Fall Cleanup cost $8,598. Council President Morgan, attending the last meeting of her term of office reflected on the past. She talked on public trust and ethics of elected officials, of preparation, analy- sis, research and decision making which is absolute tanta- mount to a responsible elected official. There is a very high cost to public service; it takes time, energy, money and health. It takes away from your own private life, but brings with it a joy of giving and a job of offering the best we have to give to our community and to others. She expressed appreciation for the chance to serve the City, to her colleagues for their differences and for their common caring, and to the City's support staff. She concluded by reading a poem, "Who will make the City Joyful," by James Cavanaugh. Councilman Simpson said he has enjoyed being on the Council for the past four years. Many people have helped me in my growth and management style and in the way I would like to see Tukwila grow. The business community has been great. The Mayor is very lucky; he has a staff that is superb. They are dedicated to the citizens of Tukwila in seeing that things get done and done correctly. He thanked the citizens for giving him the opportunity. We have good leadership and I back Gary, he is a friend. The ultimate goal is to make a good efficient government work for the citizens and the busi- ness community. Council Member Harris presented plaques to both Wendy Morgan and Charlie Simpson for dedicated service to the citizens of Tukwila.
