CITIZEN COMMENTS Speaking on behalf of Allentown residents, Lanny Vickers,
12227 45th Ave. S., thanked Council for their efforts in the
revitalization of this single family residence neighborhood.
CONSENT AGENDA
Art Berrington, resident, commented on the confusion there
appears to be regarding the use of CDBG funds for sewers and /or
side sewers. Councilmember Mullet clarified that the Utility
Committee has recommended the CDBG funds be used for any
part of the sewer hookup; however, the full Council has not made
that decision as yet. Berrington also complained that after several
attempts by the City to alleviate the mud around his house (due to
the construction in the street), the boulevard portion where he
parks his truck remains very muddy. Mayor Rants said he would
bring Berrington's concern to the attention of the Public Works
Director.

REPORTS Councilmember Hernandez reported she attend an AWC
Council educational conference recently. Councilmembers Hernandez and
Ekberg attended the spaghetti fund raiser for the Highway 99
Action Committee.
Staff
Council President Carter reported on last week's SKATBD
meeting where the discussion centered around the King County 6-
Year Plan. At the PSRC meeting the group discussed getting
another taxing authority to replace the utility tax that many cities
used and have lost. Also discussed was the possibility of taking
the motor vehicle excise tax and using that money to fulfill some
transportation needs. It's a way of moving funds from one place to
another due to the limitation of 601.
Councilmember Ekberg reported he attended the Duwamish
Improvement Club meeting following the Highway 99 Action
Committee fund raiser. At the spaghetti feed, Ekberg said he was
approached about additional street lights on the side streets along
the highway. Several of the attendees at the Duwamish
Improvement Club meeting were interested in when Phases II or III
might be occurring for Foster Point.
Councilmember Haggerton said he was pleased with the job the
committee members assigned to the fireworks issue did with their
pro /con statements in the voter's pamphlet.
John McFarland announced that four cameras are now installed on
Highway 99 and will be fully operational on October 24th.
McFarland spoke briefly about the recruitment and selection
process used for the city attorney position.
Regarding the teen curfew, McFarland said the police department
is using it as an informational tool. Just the existence of the
ordinance is working to some extent as far as getting young people
to move off the highway. There are still procedures to be worked
out with the municipal court and the judge. Notices announcing
the existence of the curfew have been posted throughout the area.
MISCELLANEOUS Proud Grandpa Jim Haggerton announced the birth of his
grandson, Cody Ray Haggerton!
