Robert Murase, Lorraine Sako, and Charles Klimas of Murase and
Associates presented four design concepts for development of the
Tukwila Pond Park to the full Council and members of the Pond
Board. Schemes A,B, and C were presented to the Community
Affairs and Parks Committee on August 22nd. Pond Board
members were also present at this meeting. The fourth design,
Scheme D, was developed following the sub committee meeting.
It combined many of the features of Schemes A and C which the
majority of the participants at the August 22nd meeting favored.

Contract Murase
Following discussion it was the consensus of the group to direct
the Murase firm to continue developing the concept shown in
Scheme D with the addition of some type of shelter, other than
glass, for year -round use.
MOVED BY EKBERG, SECONDED BY MULLET, TO
AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO SIGN A CONTRACT WITH
MURASE ASSOCIATES, INC. IN THE AMOUNT OF $43,018
FOR LANDSCAPE AND PARK DESIGN SERVICES FOR THE
TUKWILA POND PARK PROJECT.*
Councilmember Hernandez noted that the master model was listed
as a separate cost. She asked for the estimated cost of this portion
of the project. Lorraine Sako responded that at a minimum the cost
for the model would be $4,000. Mayor Rants stated that this cost
should probably be borne by the non profit board. Rants explained
that Council's role at this point is to approve a contract to get a
design, get a master plan put together, so that the non profit board
can move forward in raising the funds for the project.
Councilmember Robertson questioned the absence of a water
quality analysis from the Scope of Work. Don Williams explained
the original contract with Murase was over $60,000 and did have
additional detailed work included such as additional site analysis
and water quality analysis. Although a detailed analysis is not built
into the construction of the park, it is one of the things the City will
want to do at the Tukwila pond site. Williams further explained
that the proposed contract contains a provision under the analysis
section for all of the sub consultants to give a brief review,
analyzing the sites and the permits that will be needed and the
work that needed to be done.
Councilmember Robertson questioned whether the source of the
water, where it comes from, where it goes, is enough of an issue
that the City would want to spend more money and possibly more
time working that out in parallel with the conceptual design before
the non profit group moves forward with fund raising process.
Mayor Rants suggested Council approve the proposed contract as it
stands and develop a supplemental contract to address the water
