I. BUSINESS AGEND
A. Contract Amendment: B -Force Park Security
Staff is seeking Council approval of an amendment to the park security contract with B -Force
Protection which would reduce the scope and the monthly rate from $2,100 to $1,400. The park
restrooms will be closed in November and maintenance improvements have eliminated the need
for gates at certain parks. The contract will still be in effect through December 31, 2018.
UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO OCTOBER 16, 2017 REGULAR CONSENT AGENDA.

Healthy Tukwila project. The project was funded by a three-year grant from Public Health -
Seattle & King County with a total award of $102,500. The final year of the grant included staff
training and a public education/awareness campaign. Activities included removal of snack
vending machines at the community center, addition of bottle refill station, creation of a "How
to Have a Healthy Meeting" presentation, cooking lessons for camp attendees, and more.
DISCUSSION ONLY.
II. MISCELLANEOUS
Councilmember Kruller previously requested that an issue raised by a Sharon Mann at the September
18, 2017 Regular Meeting be addressed through the committee. The City's current code disallows the
reparking of vehicles on the same block to get around parking time limits such as 72 hours for cars and
24 hours for recreational vehicles. Ms. Mann noted that she has observed a driver of a recreational
vehicle reparking between 146th Street to 148th Street and would like the ordinance to be revised to
prohibit this. Staff is seeking Committee direction on next steps, such as development of an ordinance.
The Committee did not arrive at a decision, so staff offered to return with more information. RETURN
TO COMMITTEE.
