A. Grant Application: 531 Ave S
Staff is seeking Committee approval to submit construction grant applications for a State
Transportation Improvement Board Grant and the State Department of Ecology's 2016
Stormwater Pre - Construction Grant for 531d Ave S project funding. As previous grant
applications were unsuccessful, the budget amendment approved by Council on 8/3/15 has

construction funding in 2016 and 2017. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL.

III. MISCELLANEOUS
Staff reported that East Marginal Way S Storm Pipe Replacement Project is under negotiation with the
Contractor for the final closeout and there have been major issues. The City may unilaterally close the
contract and prepare for a future claim.
Councilmember Seal reported the deteriorating asphalt on Bremmer's Hill (S 144th St near Showalter
Elementary School). City Engineer was just informed of the status today, so we will be investigating the
"melting" asphalt after all of the hot weather.
Committee Chair Robertson requested overgrown brush be cut back at the southeast corner of the
intersection of 42nd Ave S/ S 160th St, but was informed that the area in question is in SeaTac. Bob Giberson
will personally call SeaTac to inform them of the need to mow that area.
