REPORTS
Executive Session Mayor Van Dusen asked to have an Executive Session scheduled
Scheduled for next Monday to discuss the Metro Golf Course easements.
He asked Council to hold an Executive Session this evening to
discuss the challenge to the adequacy of the EIS for the
Valley View Estates development.
Council President Duffie announced that the Joint Retreat
will be held March 10, 8:00 a.m., in Tukwila.
Don Morrison, City Administrator, reported that Group W TV
Cable Company has been sold. There needs to be an ordinance
or resolution drawn to allow the Mayor to sign the franchise
transfer papers. Our cable consultant and the City Attorney
are reviewing this. Council President Duffie noted that a
number of them have been concerned about Group W. He
suggested this item be placed in Committee for discussion.
MOVED BY DUFFIE, SECONDED BY MORGAN, THAT THE GROUP W TV
FRANCHISE BE PLACED IN THE UTILITIES AND THE COMMUNITY
AFFAIRS COMMITTEES. MOTION CARRIED.
Don Morrison, City Administrator, reported that the City has
a Memorandum of Understanding that the City would meet and
confer with the Police Department on some sort of incentive
program for the Records Specialist. The Police have come up
with a proposal but the Administration is entering into a
contract to review the whole salary plan so would prefer to
defer this. Council Member Morgan said there are concepts
involved that might be interesting to Council.
MOVED BY MORGAN, SECONDED BY DUFFIE, THAT THE CONCEPT OF WHAT
THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IS PRESENTING BE PLACED IN THE PUBLIC
SAFETY COMMITTEE. MOTION CARRIED.
City Attorney Haney reported that a letter has been received
appealing the decision of the Board of Architectural Review
in approving the application of Windmark Homes made at their
meeting of February 6, 1986. It was filed on behalf of the
Sunwood Condominium Homeowners Association for the proposed
project commonly known as Sunwood Phase III. The homeowners
have decided they wish to contest the revised site plan which
will be returned to Council from the Board of Architectural
Review.

Attorney Haney reported that two letters have been filed con-
testing the adequacy of the final EIS for Valley View
Estates. This is a quasi judicial matter, therefore the
Appearance of Fairness Doctrine does apply. He encouraged
Council not to discuss the pending appeal with the proponents
or opponents. If a Council Member does have these conver-
sations, they must be made a part of the record at the appeal
hearing. Council can ask technical questions of staff, but
cannot discuss the matter with each other.

City Council is considering a request from Gerald M. McLees
to have property proposed to be annexed to the City zoned
M -1. At their Regular Meeting of January 23, 1986, the
Planning Commission recommended approval of M -1 zoning to the
Council and acceptance of staff's Findings and Conclusions.
Mayor Van Dusen declared the Public Hearing open on the pro-
posal to zone the subject property M -1. This is the first of
two public hearings; the second is March 24, 1986.

The Council requested the Administration to conduct a City-
wide contest to obtain a name for the new park on 51st Avenue
South in McMicken Heights. A five member committee reviewed
all the names received and submitted only the name "Crystal
Spring Park" for Council consideration.
MOVED BY BAUCH, SECONDED BY DUFFIE, THAT BY FORMAL MOTION,
THE PARK IN MCMICKEN HEIGHTS BE NAMED CRYSTAL SPRINGS PARK.*
Council Member Morgan suggested that all of the names include
"Tukwila" so it is very clear the park is within the City
boundaries. Also, that a marker be placed in the park
explaining the origin of the name.
