Council Chambers Regular Meeting CALL TO ORDER Mayor Van Dusen called the Regular Meeting of the Tukwila and City Council to order and led the audience in the Pledge of PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE Allegiance. ROLL CALL MABEL J. HARRIS, DORIS E. PHELPS, JOE H. DUFFIE, Council President, EDGAR D. BAUCH, WENDY A. MORGAN, MARILYN STOKNES. OFFICIALS REPORTS Dogs running loose Financial Plan Lawsuit CITIZEN'S COMMENTS CONSENT AGENDA Resolution #1013 MOVED BY DUFFIE, SECONDED BY MORGAN, THAT COUNCILMAN SIMPSON BE EXCUSED FROM THE MEETING. JAMES HANEY, City Attorney, MAXINE ANDERSON, City Clerk, ALAN DOERSCHEL, Finance Director, DON MORRISON, City Administrator. Councilman Duffie reported that the dog problem continues. They are still running loose on his street. Councilman Bauch said there is a problem in his area. Alan Doerschel, Finance Director, explained that the Capital Financial Plan has been revised to project an increase of 3% for 1987 instead of the 9% originally used. This is due to receipt of less sales tax monies than originally estimated. If the proposal for a new Community Center stays in the CIP there is the possibility of having the citizens approve an alternate funding method. Jim Haney, City Attorney, reported that a lawsuit has been filed involving a former Tukwila Police Officer. It appears, thus far, that the claim is without merit. A notice of appearance has been filed on behalf of the officer. Board of Adjustment Mr. Jim McKinley, 4404 So. 164th, requested that Item d Rules (Revised Board of adjustment Rules) on the Consent Agenda be removed to allow comments from the public. a.

(The motion includes the Interurban Business District) Mayor Van Dusen commented that 80% of the budget is exactly that. Dwayne Traynor, 14910 58th Ave. So., commented that Council has control of this money through the budget. It does not have to be included in the ordinance. *TIE VOTE MOTION FAILED WITH PHELPS, BAUCH, STOKNES, VOTING NO. *MOTION CARRIED WITH BAUCH VOTING NO. MOVED BY BAUCH, SECONDED BY DUFFIE, THAT COUNCIL SET SEPTEMBER 2, 1986, TO HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A REAL ESTATE EXCISE TAX. MOTION CARRIED.

Council Member Phelps explained that it should be reevaluated as to whether the open space projects that have been funded are adequate, whether the City needs to continue the alloca- tion of this Real Estate Excise Tax to future projects or whether it is needed elsewhere and it can be reallocated to some other kind of capital need. *MOTION CARRIED. MOVED BY PHELPS, SECONDED BY DUFFIE, THAT FORMAL MOTION NO. 07 -86, APPROVING AMENDED RULES OF PROCEDURE FOR THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT BE APPROVED Mr. McKinley, audience, reviewed the proposed amendments to the Board of Adjustment Rules of Procedure and commented that Council is giving away their control. The suggested changes TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL, REGULAR MEETING August 18, 1986 Page 3 NEW BUSINESS Cont. Formal Motion #07 -86 Approving amended rules of procedure for the Bd. of Adjust. (cont.) MISCELLANEOUS C.I.P. EXECUTIVE SESSION 7:55 p.m. 8:32 p.m. ADJOURNMENT 8:32 p.m. Council Member Harris noted that in the case of the actions of the Board of Adjustment, appeal cannot be made to the City Council. Any appeal has to go to civil court. The only place, Council has any input is in the rules. I feel uncom- fortable removing "and the concurrence of the City Council." This is our only link with the actions of the Board. 4/C 1 have been mis represented. They have been getting along just fine up to this point. *MOTION CARRIED WITH HARRIS VOTING NO. Council Member Morgan introduced questions about the CIP for the Council Committees to consider. She reviewed them. Her hopes are they will temper discussions in the Committee Meetings so that discussion will be more productive when this item comes back to the Committee of the Whole. She commented that Council is reviewing the Capital Improvement Program as a package. They may accept the packet or reject parts of it. The City will continue with the current sources of revenue as the basis of payment for these items. She said she would like Council to begin thinking about other sources of revenue and whether or not these are all things we want.
