Finance Director Alan Doerschel presented for discussion only the
ordinance imposing general taxes for 1995. Doerschel explained
that the exact rate and the assessed valuation wouldn't be known
until later in the week. The limit this year would be approximately
$3.12. Doerschel said that although this figure does not present a
problem this year, it may next year because it's expected the
assessed valuation of the current property will not be changed next
year. So if we want to get 6 percent more revenue on the same
base, we won't be able to. Consequently, unless there is a big
change in the assessed valuation, with property values going up,
the next five to six years the City could end up with only new
assessed valuation being our growth in property tax. Doerschel
said the ordinance in final form would be presented to Council next
week.
Councilmember Ekberg said the Transportation Committee
reviewed the scope of work for the overlay and the drainage. They
found nothing out of line. Councilmember Robertson requested a
breakdown of the total contract showing what budget years,
between 1994 and 1995, and which budget items it applies to.
Ross Earnst explained that the decision was made to put in a
specified amount of money each year for small drainage projects
without any particular identification. Ross Earnst responded that
the Utilities Committee reviewed the Cascade drainage program.
This contract implements a portion of that program. Both the
design and the construction is funded out of the small drainage
projects portion of the surface water utility. The project will
impact the 1994 budget (for design) and 1995 budget (for
construction). Robertson said beginning next year he would like to
see more detail in the budget and CIP process and a better way of
reporting what money is planned and what and when it is spent.
MOVED BY EKBERG, SECONDED BY CRAFT, TO
AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO SIGN A CONTRACT WITH
KPG, INC., IN THE AMOUNT OF $163,491 FOR THE 1995

Campbell Hill Water Line Councilmember Robertson reported the Utilities Committee has
reviewed the contract and determined that there is a fairly high risk

Council continued their review of the 1995 Proposed Budget and
1995 -2000 C.I.P. Discussions focused on unfunded proposed
initiatives in the General Fund, proposed changes to the
Commercial/Residential Streets construction schedule, and the
effects these changes would have on the Six Year Planning Model.
Council agreed to meet in a special work session from 5 to 7 p.m.
on Monday, December 12, to continue their discussion on the CIP.
Mayor Rants reported the Puget Sound Regional Council's expert
panel determined the current noise reduction, monitoring, and
validation programs at SeaTac are not sufficient and whatever
addition steps the Port takes must result in noise reduction that
residents of affected communities could appreciate.
Council President Mullet invited those present to attend a strategy
meeting of the Airport Communities Coalition at 7 p.m. on
Wednesday, December 7, at Normandy Park City Hall.
MOVED BY DUFFIE, SECONDED BY ROBERTSON, THAT
THE MEETING BE ADJOURNED. MOTION CARRIED.
