October 16 Presentation Recap The presentation on October 16th went well. The meeting went very long, so the update went quickly. Councilmember McLeod shared with the Council that the presentation reflected the views of the community members. Mia will send the link to watch the presentation. b. Update on Property Acquisition Process The Council passed a motion on October 16th to vote on condemnation rights for property acquisition on November 6`h. A friendly letter went out on October 17th notifying property owners of the hearing on November 6`h. Legal notice has also gone out to property owners and business owners, anyone affected by the acquisition. City staff is also undertaking direct outreach to all affected businesses. Heartland, our real estate consultant has had some conversations with owners. We do expect some amount of litigation through this process. We will also notify the neighborhoods surrounding the sites. c. Prepare for November 6 Condemnation Hearing The Committee discussed testifying at the November 6 Council meeting. Kathleen Wilson offered to speak about the Public Works facility. Other focus areas include process, sites, data. Tod Bookless offered to speak about the process, and the data - oriented decisions. Jerry Thornton can talk about how this fits into the overall scheme of RFA and facilities studies. Will Gillispie can talk about how these are difficult decisions and how people will be impacted, but these are important legacy decisions that will transform and benefit our community. Our community needs to adapt as changes occur such as adding light rail to the community. Plan on 2-3 minutes, no more than 5, during the agenda item itself. It won't be the first item on the agenda, so plan to eat ahead of time. The meeting is at 7 pm November 6. d. Cancel December? The group discussed and decided to cancel the December meeting. Joe Duffie made a motion to cancel the December meeting. Jerry Thornton seconded, the motion passed. We will discuss the November 6 meeting at the November meeting, and staff will give an update on the site acquisition process. The Committee will meet in January, and prepare for another presentation to Council in February. The new Council President may change which Councilmembers serve on the Siting Advisory Committee when they assume the Council President role in January. e. Update on December Open House The next open house is scheduled for December 2"d. Mia asked the group if they would rather have the open house in the morning or the afternoon. The group preferred morning, from 10 -noon, like we did in March. The open house will be at the Water District 125/Valley View Sewer District community room. It would be wise to prepare for unhappy people. This open house will share project progress between August 2017 and November 2017. The open house presents an opportunity to share project progress and accomplishments at the one-year mark. • Open House material will help Tukwila participants understand: o Share individual updates on Stations 51/52/54, the Justice Center, and the public works facility o Share site selection and conceptual design for Station 51 (and use Station 51 as an example of "what's next" for other PSP facilities) o Share feedback the City heard during the last open house/online open house and share how it informed Public Safety Plan implementation • Open House attendees will help inform the project by providing feedback on: o Preliminary design of Station 51 o Questions provided by fire station and Justice Center Architects f. General Contractor Construction Management Update We received four applications, and conducted 3 interviews. Each bid was scored on their proposal, interview, and sealed bid. The preliminary selection has been made, and LYDIG was the successful bidder. This recommendation still needs to be ratified by Council. Steve Goldblatt, our quality management consultant, participated in the process. g. Questions • How long will the group meet? We had initially thought the group would be done after the sites had been selected. We think the group should meet in January and February, 2018, then quarterly regarding updates and outreach. There are two open houses planned for 2018. • Have we run into any archaeological sites? The City hasn't run in to any yet, but Sound Transit has. We may find some on the river and the highway. VII. Agenda for Next Meeting a. Update on property acquisition and business assistance b. Review Fire Station 51 schematic design c. Prepare for 12/2 VIII. Adjournment Jerry Thornton made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Joe Duffie seconded, the motion passed. The meeting adjourned a 7:11 pm.
