MOTION CARRIED. Mr. Stoknes displayed an expenditure chart to explain his revised requests as compared to the Mayor's allocation. Included and thoroughly discussed were all of the Block Grant Programs. Mr. Stoknes noted that Extra Labor and Overtime had been removed from the budgets. He asked to have it reallocated to the depart- ments. There has been an Extra Labor and Overtime Pool established but he is not sure of the function of the pool. It will be more difficult to manage when it is not in his own departments. Councilman Saul said Council needs to decide if they are going to support the pools. Councilman Van Dusen said he doesn't mind having Extra Labor in a pool but wondered about the overtime. Who would authorize it. Considerable discussion followed on the functions of these pools. Councilman Hill TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL, BUDGET REVIEW CONTINUED November 27, 1979 Page 2 OFFICE OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Overtime Extra Labor (continued) Page 58 Page 66 Page 73 Page 78 Page 58 Page 59 said Council should pull the funds out of the pools and redistribute it back to each department. MOVED BY VAN DUSEN, SECONDED BY SAUL, THAT EXTRA LABOR AND OVERTIME BE PUT BACK IN EACH DEPARTMENT THROUGHOUT THE BUDGET. MOTION CARRIED. Mr. Stoknes reviewed the jobs performed by each of the people in his Department. He noted that the part time Planner position was not funded. He said that he did not hire an Associate Planner but filled the position with an Assistant Planner. Mr. Stoknes continued to explain the Expenditure chart and the revised requests he would like Council to consider. The Extra Labor account was discussed by Don Williams. $28,633 was the original request and it was cut to $17,555. He explained how the original figure was arrived at and asked Council to fund it at a level to maintain the programs they have going. Lynn Devoir explained they have a participation policy for the leagues and discussed the classes they offered and the attendance by local people. Mr. Stoknes explained that the original request was for a full time Building Inspector and that the position has been funded for only the first six months of 1980. He sited figures and asked Council to reconsider his request for a full time inspector. Al Pieper requested that his Building Permit Specialist be funded at a Grade 12 instead of the proposed Grade 15. Council President Bohrer said he would like to reserve this item to discuss later. Mr. Stoknes noted that the money budgeted for the purchase of noise control equipment had been cut from the budget. He expressed concern about enforcement of the Noise Control Ordinance. Councilman Van Dusen said he felt we need to allocate some money to get the program going. Maybe we need a feasibility study. Council President Bohrer suggested that Council put money in the budget and have Kjell do a study on whether the City should enforce it or ask King County. MOVED BY VAN DUSEN, SECONDED BY HILL, THAT $2,000 BE ALLOTTED TO IMPLEMENT A NOISE PROGRAM. (Page 74, Professional Services, 008/538.60.31.01) MOTION CARRIED. Mr. Stoknes discussed the need for the part time Planner position. He asked Council to fund it in the amount of $10,920. It was suggested that Council fund $5,059. This figure plus $5,861 from the Associate Planner salary equals the $10,920. This would leave the Associate Planner position in the budget as Mr. Stoknes requested and fund the part time Planner position. Council agreed on funding $5,059 in Extra Labor for the part time Planner position. Then, Mr. Stoknes asked about increasing the Extra Labor further to fund the Graphics person in the amount of $6,031 per page 62 of the budget. MOVED BY HARRIS, SECONDED BY SAUL, THAT COUNCIL FUND EXTRA LABOR IN THE AMOUNT OF $11,090. (Part time Planner, $5,059; Graphics person, $6,031) MOTION CARRIED. It was noted that the 2nd Planning Intern (Page 58) is being transferred to the Recreation Department Budget.
