a.Update on property acquisition and business assistance
We have a signed purchase and sale agreement for Fire Station 54 site. Good
conversation with the other property owners. Economic Development continues to
work with the businesses, and is working on a business assistance plan. Want to take
more time to listen to the businesses to better understand what they need. For
example, many of the businesses expressed a desire to move together to the same

properties. Forterra is working with the Knights Inn to purchase the building. The
Mosque wants to use it for housing and small businesses. Could be a potential solution

Seattle compared to Tukwila. Concern about Heiser really being able to move. One
architect said we need 10-15, another said 11, and we are buying 10. Aggressively

to plan for the future. Had the City purchased all of the land on Southcenter Blvd several
years ago, we would not have to buy a lot of land now.
The group expressed concern that the businesses will be negatively impacted.
b.Review Fire Station 51 schematic design
Keeping contaminants out of living area. Trucks and bays more public, living areas more
private. Internal courtyard for training, barbequing, etc. Roof line extensions for a bay
and living area that could be filled in later if expansion is needed. Construction
scheduled to begin October 2018.
GCCM on board to tell us how much they think it will cost. Architect has an estimate,
they negotiate. Schematic design estimate in January 2018 30% design. Then Design
development 60%. Construction documents 90%.
