Councilmember Ekberg arrived at 7:12 p.m. Tukwila City Council Regular Meeting December 5, 1994 Page 2 NEW BUSINESS Ord. Levying 1995 Property Taxes (Discussion only) 1995 Overlay, Ped Path and Drainage PS &E KPG, Inc. PS &E KPG, Inc. 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.

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.
