Councilman Van Dusen asked what is considered petty cash.
Mayor Bauch explained that by Administrative Policy any item
costing less than $10.00 is considered a petty cash item.
*MOTION CARRIED.
Mayor Bauch announced that the Police Annex at Southcenter
Mall is being closed. It is no longer used now that the
Police Station is closer and the Mall has use for the space.
The City has received a request from the City of Renton to
see if Tukwila would negotiate a contract for fire service
to an area lying between I -405 on the North and South 180th
to the South; the Valley Freeway to the East and Tukwila City
Limits to the West. Mayor Bauch said he wanted Council
concurrence prior to the start of the negotiations. Council
agreed that the Mayor should proceed. It will come back to
them at a later date for approval.
Mayor Bauch explained that he has considered forming an
Employee Donation Fund and asked for Council reaction. The
fund would cover the summer picnic, the Christmas Party and
remembrances to employees on special occasions. Donations
to the fund would amount to $1.00 per month per employee.
This would be made by pay roll deduction; Inturn, all
wages would be raised by $12.00 per year. If there isn't
100% participation by the employees the idea would be
dropped. The concept was discussed and the Mayor said he
would bring it back to Council for more discussion at a
later date. Attorney Hard stated that as long as this is
a voluntary program he doesn't see anything unlawful.
Council has no control over the employees donating to a fund.
Attorney Hard reported that December was relatively uneventful.
Tuesday, the appeal in the Kinney -vs- Bauch lawsuit will be
heard in Court of Appeals.
