City Attorney Linda Cohen explained that paragraph number 4 on
page 44 of the agreement needed be amended to delete all wording
except the first sentence that ends with the word Grantor(s). Ms.
Cohen said the original wording allowed too much control by
Metro.
Mayor Rants reported he attended a meeting at the City of Renton
with other Suburban Cities members at which Brian Derdowski,
King County, spoke on the topic of customer satisfaction.
Derdowski addressed several issues of interest which included
police contracts with King County and swimming pools. Rants
noted that one issue he would like to see for Tukwila working with
King County is an internet for the auditor on tax parcels so that
individuals that need the information, i.e., finance and planning
departments, are able to access it immediately.
Mayor Rants said he felt it very important that kids in this country
are taught to swim. The number one leading cause of death of
young people is drowning. He has asked Don Williams to check on
the costs involved to offer swimming lessons to every fifth grader in
the school district. The Mayor said he would address this funding
request further during budget time.
Rants read a letter from a City resident commending Tukwila Police
Department, namely Officers Tom Kilberg and Teresa Marshall, for
assistance they rendered to an elderly neighbor who had been the
victim of a robbery in his home.
