ORDINANCES Ordinance #1087 Setting forth requirements on street vacations. RESOLUTIONS Resolution #661 authorizing the Mayor to negotiate and execute ease- ments in conjunc- tion with L.I.D. #29. Reference made by Mayor Bauch to his letter concerning the purchase of voting receivers for Valley Comm. Battery operated radios are low wattage and have a limited transmitting range. This has caused some blind spots and the loss of contact during some emergency operations. The solution to the problem is to install voting receivers or repeaters. The preliminary cost of equipment is approximately $3,700 and installation costs approximately $3,000. Continuing operational costs are $1,800 annually.

Deputy City Attorney Hard read a resolution of the City of Tukwila, Washington authorizing the Mayor to negotiate and execute easements for property in conjunction with LID #29. MOVED BY VAN DUSEN, SECONDED BY HILL, THAT RESOLUTION #661 BE ADOPTED AS READ.* Terry Monaghan, Public Works Director, explained that in engineering the road alignment for 62nd Avenue South there is a conflict with the creek and proposed City Hall landscaping if the alignment is symmetrical with the right of -way centerline. To eliminate this, the alignment has been shifted to the west. By doing this, the east curbline is approximately 25 feet west of the east right -of -way line. This preserves the creek and all but 5 feet of the west side City Hall landscaping. The proposal is to build a 34 foot roadway section. The problem is that there is no room on the west side for a sidewalk. It has been discussed with and agreed to by the developers of the land immediately adjacent to the west right -of -way that a permanent easement of at TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING November 20, 1978 Page 3 RESOLUTIONS CONT.

The cost of the sidewalk to be included in the LID. In exchange for this, the City will grant, to the owners of this property to the west, a permanent easement for the City right -of -way to the south to be used for parking and internal driveway. This right -of -way is a State Highway Department turnback parcel and does not appear to enter into any future City property development plans. In addition, the property owners will deed and dedicate at no cost to the City the 5 foot frontage on 62nd Avenue South to allow for widening, and the northeast corner of their property to allow for a better turning radius and sight distance. Mr. Monaghan again said that one of the reasons for this is to preserve the creek. Councilman Hill asked if we need 15 feet for a sidewalk. Mr. Monaghan explained that a meandering type sidewalk is planned to maintain the character of the City Hall landscaping. Councilman Bohrer asked what the comparison is on what the area the City is getting to what the area is the City is giving. He was told that the City will be receiving 500 to 700 square feet more than the property owner. *MOTION CARRIED.
