JAMES HANEY, City Attorney, MAXINE ANDERSON, City Clerk, RICK BEELER, Planning Director, DON MORRISON, City Administrator, DON PIERCE, Police Chief. Sam Ruljancich, firefighter, explained the current ticket sale to the Mayor and Council. Their local union #2088 has been active in a phone solicitation fund raiser. They are selling tickets for a family Christmas Show to be held on December 21, 1986. The performance is done by a professional touring troup. It will be held in the auditorium at Puget Sound College in Edmonds. The firefighters will use the money for the BAT program (Basic Aid Training) and for NFPA, Fire Prevention Program for Children. Firefighter Ruljancich presented a check for $500 to Mayor Van Dusen to be used in the Southcentral School District for these programs. The firefighters' main goal is toward helping children. Jim Buck, Assistant Manager and Dan Graves, Kent Shelter Supervisor of King County Animal Control were present to discuss control problems in Tukwila. Mr. Buck explained that they have 10 trucks on the streets of their service area 7 days per week in 12 hour shifts -6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. The current time period for Tukwila is 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. The Kent Shelter opens at 10:00 a.m. and closes at 8:00 p.m., however, the phone is answered 24 hours per day for messages. Complaints are increasing. Barking dogs are not considered a priority call. They are interested in coming up with a better way to handle these complaints as usually they involve neighbors. During the months of August and September, they responded to approximately 100 calls within the boundaries of Tukwila. Council Member Morgan suggested that a Citizen's Advisory Board be organized to examine complaints and reflect com- munity concerns back to Animal Control. There has to be some way for on -going communication. She suggested that the representatives come back to the City twice a year on their own, not just when invited by the City. Police Chief Pierce commented that Animal Control has been very cooperative with the officers. The Police Department will respond to complaints on barking dogs outside of the hours that Animal Control is open. MOVED BY MORGAN, SECONDED BY SIMPSON, THAT REPORTS BE PLACED AFTER ITEM 8 BECAUSE OF THE LENGTHY PRESENTATIONS. MOTION CARRIED. TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL, REGULAR MEETING October 20, 1986 Page 2 SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS Mayor's Budget Message Mayor Van Dusen reviewed his annual message on the 1987 budget. (The full text is included in the proposed budget.) This budget is within the fiscal capabilities of the City and is a most responsible budget. It closely follows the five year capital improvement and financial plans as well as the recently submitted new initiatives. One significant change is an increase in water and sewer revenues and expenditures due to the proposed reservoir bond issue of $3,600,000. The total net increase of the Current Fund budget is only $185,307. Twenty one new positions were requested by Department Heads, but I am proposing three additional posi- tions. The recently completed salary plan is being imple- mented on an incremental basis and my goal is to have the reclassification plan in place by the first of the year. There are several high priority projects that will receive my utmost attention. We will monitor very closely the progress of Minkler Blvd., T -Line Bridge, Interurban Avenue, the new community center, Tukwila 200, Comprehensive Transportation Plan, the North Reservoir, Macadam Road and the reorganiza- tion study. I have attempted to control the increase in cost of our government while at the same time maintaining or improving levels of service. Don Morrison, City Administrator, showed some graphs illustrating where the revenue will come from in the proposed budget and where it will be spent.

TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL, REGULAR MEETING October 20, 1986 Page 3 PUBLIC HEARING Establishing zoning classification of M -1 for property at 4621 So. 134th P1. NEW BUSINESS Ordinance #140g- Amending the zoning map by establishing a zoning classif. of M -1 for property known as the Elling Halvorson property Resolution #1019 Authorize the Mayor to apply to King Co. Block Grant office to utilize 1987 funds for the athletic play field project S 0 7 9 Mayor Van Dusen opened the Public Hearing on the establish- ment of a zoning classification of M -1 (Light Industry) for property located at 4621 South 134th Place. Rick Beeler, Planning Director, illustrated the location of the proposed site and explained that the property has remained unclassified since it was annexed in 1977. It is i acres in size and currently zoned single family. The staff and the Planning Commission recommend the rezone to M -1 within the Comprehensive Plan designation. The applicant has agreed to dedicate 15 feet of right -of -way along So. 134th for road improvements. Attorney Haney asked that the Council packet material be made Exhibit #1 -the Public Hearing notice, the proposed ordi- nance, the ordinance summary, Council Agenda Synopsis, Planning Commission meeting Minutes for August 28,1986, and the Staff Report. Exhibit #2 is a map showing the Comprehensive Plan and the relation of the site to this plan. Michael Smith, 1515 130th N.E., Bellevue, spoke representing Elling Halvorson, owner, of the property. Basically this is a cleanup item for a small parcel of property that was not zoned at the time it was annexed. The area adjacent to the site on the north, the northwest and southwest sides are designated Light Industry. The site is strategically located at the South 131st Interchange. The area has been making a steady transition from single family to light industrial uses. This zoning is compatible with the Comprehensive Plan. The existence of the freeway in the area makes the subject site and surrounding area an excellent location for industrial business uses and less desireable for residential uses. There being no further comments, Mayor Van Dusen closed the Public Hearing. MOVED BY HARRIS, SECONDED BY DUFFIE, THAT THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE BE READ BY TITLE ONLY. MOTION CARRIED.
