PUBLIC COMMENTS
Dave Puki, 3748 South 1520u Street, said he became involved in a code enforcement issue last week in
his neighborhood. On April 25, 2018, he was notified that he was in violation of parking vehicles on the
grass on his property, which is not true. While there are times when others park on his lawn iUegaUy, he
cannot control that issue and he has requested that Police put up a "no parking" sign. There are multiple
issues in his neighborhood that have ongoing code enforcement issues needing attention. He contacted
Code Enforcement staff on April 27 to inquire regarding the complaint against him and waited for 5 days
for a return phone call. As it turns out someone anonymously utilized the City's "Tukwila Works" system
to make a complaint, and the case had been ciosed, He is concerned that anyone can become an
innocent victim of an anonymous complaint without verification of the facts. AdditionaUy, he attended the
recent community event regarding the Strategic Plan to convey his concern that the plan is not serving
the City's goals and objectives, and he felt he needed to leave as it was becoming a demonstration.
Councilmember KruUeremphasized that from her standpoint Mr. Puki parks his vehicles responsibly and
follows the code. She asked City Administration if a complaint is determined to be unfounded, is there a
method to restore the reputation of the affected party.
David Cline, City Administrator, said he would get back to the full Council with a response. Mr. Puki
relayed that he will be meeting with Mr. Cline in the future.
Louise Jones 8rown, President of the Tukwila Historical Society, said the Historical Society is fully in
support of the Golf Course Bridge being named after the Aliments, which is coming up on the agenda this
evening. Ms. Brown reported that the Historical Society's flag pole pavilion is being refurbished by a Boy
Scout to attain his Eagle Scout distinction, The Historical Society was formerly the Tukwila School,
Tukwila City Hall, and the Tukwila Library, and the flag pole has been unusable since 2010. The approval
by the Boy Scout Council for this pject will be a great benefit, She thanked Mayor Ekberg for putting
the Historical Society in touch with the local American Legion Post who donated $600 for a flag pole as
well as a United States and Washington State flag. To raise funds for the project, the Historical Society is
selling commemorative bricks from That's My Brick" in Wisconsin. The Strander family and Westfield
Southcenter Mall have purchased a brick, and it is the Historical Society's hope that the City will purchase
a brick in honor of the former City Hall being at this location. Additionally, the Historical Society will be
honoring the 50th anniversary of the Southcenter Mall on May 19, 2018 from 1:00-4:00 p.m., complete
with historical aerial photos of the site and refreshments.
Councilmember Kruller said t is Troop 398 that is work ng on this, and it has been fun and rewarding to
watch the progress.
Mayor Ekberg suggested Ms. Brown talk with the City's Public Works Director regarding the project.
Daniel Assefa is the owner of 4113 South Boeing Access Road as it relates to permit #PW16-0132. He
explained they started the permit process in 2015, and it has cost over $100,000. On April 16, 2018 one
permit was approved, yet Public Works says they cannot activate it until they hear from the City Attorney,
and they cannot explain the issue that is causing the hold up. His contractors are starting to leave the
project because they cannot begin the work. Hisconnu|tantwhnnostahim$3OOanhourcontinuestocaU
the City, but with no results. He is begging for assistance on this issue.
Mayor Ekberg relayed that he has seen the email regarding this iasua, and discussions will occur
regarding this permit tomorrow.

Robert Meidinger said he is with ICON Materials, and they are the low bidder for the 2018 Overlay
Program. Due to comments made by Councilmember McLeod at the Transportation and Infrastructure
Committee, they feeJ compelled to defend their company. While they are not perfect, they aspire to do
award winning work with every project, It is unfortunate that a single resident has detoured the process,
asICON was the contractor for the 2O17Overlay Project, vvithfuUendorsementfnomtheCity'sproject
manager. They had an issue with the Fort Dent site last year, and they fixed the problem at no cost to the
City. They were asked to participate with the food bank and agreed to perform $8,000 worth of paving on
the site. They are proud of the work they have done for Tukwila. ICON has received numerous awards
from WSDOT and the Washington Asphalt Pavement AssociationOne award was for the Best City
Project in the State for the City of Renton Overlay Program, which is very similar to Tukwila's Program.
Other awards include the Best Project in Western Washington and the Best Paving Project in
Washington. It would be unfortunate if the Council chooses to spend an extra $200,000 on this project,
when ICON will complete the project to the owner's acceptance.
Joe Duffie, 5332 South 140th Street, said it is important to pubIicize that the City scholarships can also be
awarded to those going to trade schoois and notjust for coIlege. Additionaliy, he 5 very pleased with the
progress on the 53rd Avenue pjoc and offered the reminder that the street is closed to through -traffic
and is open to residents only. He thanked the Public Works staff for the great job.

house and ribbon cutting for 3 out of the 5 bond pjects. The date is May 23, 2018 from 5:30-7:30 p.m.

MOVED BY QUINN, SECONDED BY KRULLER THAT THE PROPOSED RESOLUTION BE ADOPTED
AS READ.*
On August 22, 2017 the Parks & Recreation Department received a letter from the Foster Golf Links'
Men's and Women's Clubs requesting the bridge located between the 11th and 16th holes at the golf
course be named in honor of the longtime previous owners of the course that sold it to the City.
Joe Aliment worked at the course from 1924 -- 1951, when he and his wife Hazel then purchased the
course. After owning and operating the course for 27 years, they sold it to the City of Tukwila in 1978
rather than to developers. They wanted to preserve the green space and desired that it continue to be a
place where Tukwila residents could congregate and enjoy the game of golf.
City Council Resolution 1400 addresses the process for naming City property. For facilities within the
Parks and Recreation Department, the names shall be recommended by the Park Commission to the
Community Development and Neighborhoods Committee. Where persons' names are used, they should
be people who have made an outstanding contribution to the community, or whose names are of
historical significance to the area, or who the City would like to recognize as an important influence in the
area.
The Park Commission discussed this at the November 8, 2017 meeting and voted unanimously in
recommending the name "Joe and Hazel Aliment Memorial Bridge" as requested by the Foster Golf
Links Men's and Women's Clubs and forwarding the recommendation to the Community Development
and Neighborhoods (CDN) Committee for consideration. The CDN concurred and forwarded the
resolution to the full Council for adoption this evening.

NEW BUSINESS
a. Authorize the approval of payment for increased flagging and railroad costs with BNSF for the
Boeing Access Road over BNRR Rehabilitation project in the amount of $300,000.00.
MOVED BY MCLEOD, SECONDED BY KRULLER TO AUTHORIZE THE APPROVAL OF PAYMENT
FOR INCREASED FLAGGING AND RAILROAD COSTS WITH BNSF FOR THE BOEING ACCESS
ROAD OVER BNRR REHABILITATION PROJECT IN THE AMOUNT OF $300,000.00.*
This item was discussed at the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee meeting on April 23, 2018,
with unanimous approval to forward to the Regular Meeting under New Business.
The BNSF Overpass Agreement is for required construction and maintenance costs related to the work
over the railroad's right-of-way and covers inspection services and flagging required by BNSF. Average
charges from the previous six months were used to forecast the additional flagging costs of $300,000.
At the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee meeting, the Committee members were concerned
about the charges and asked staff to communicate with BNSF to ensure there are no further increases.
Councilmember Robertson said the costs for this went from $150,000 to $450,000, or an increase of 3
times the original estimate. He has not seen a basis in the documentation for the increase.
Henry Hash, Public Works Director, said the original $149,000 estimate came from BNSF in the
preliminary stages of the project. They later realized it was more complicated, and additional flaggers
were needed at a cost of an additional $300,000 to complete the job. The entire project is still on time
and under budget with the use of grant funds.
Councilmember Quinn said this question was asked in the Council Committee meeting, and he
appreciates Councilmember Robertson asking it again at the full Council meeting.

TO SIGN A CONTRACT WITH ICON MATERIALS FOR THE 2018 OVERLAY & REPAIR PROGRAM
IN THE AMOUNT OF $955,945.50.*
This item was discussed at the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee meeting on April 23, 2018,
with unanimous approval to forward to the Regular Meeting under New Business.
The Overlay and Repair Program preserves and maintains the street structure in a safe and usable
condition. Construction will include pavement repairs and an asphalt overlay at four locations citywide
including the Fort Dent parking lot, as well as other incidental items of work.
A call for bids was advertised for the 2018 Overlay and Repair Program on March 22 and 29, 2018, and 4
bids were opened on April 5, 2018. The Iowest apparent bidder was ICON Materials with a bid of
$955.945.50. The Engineer's Estimate was $1,137,680.00. There were no bidding errors. The project
design consu|tant. KPG, concurred to award the 2018 Overlay and Repair Program to the apparent Iow
bidder, ICON Materials.
Councilmember McLeod, Chair of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, explained that
someone who had experience in the paving industry had inquired about always using the lowest bidder.
Mr, McLeod brought that up at the Committee and was informed the City has to take the lowest bid, and
he then asked if use of the low bidder resulted in more change orders or cost overruns. ICON was
awarded the Overlay Pjectin2O17andvvhi|ethenumbersanenotyotin.theCitywasveryp|easedvvith
their work. ICON also did the pject in 2012, and the City was very pleased with their work, and they

use of City funds. The Committee is recommending the contract move forward with ICON Materials.

Councilmember Kruller also attended the Strategic Plan Community Workshop on May 3, 2018. There
was a complaint about outreach and communication from a member of the Somali Community, and it was
suggested that flyers be put up at the mosque. This is a good suggestion that the City should put into its

MISCELLANEOUS
Councilmember Hougardy said she would like to begin discussion on parking related issues on South
144'h Street. While parking is permitted on one side of the street, the situation has worsened to a degree
that it is necessary to encroach on or cross the center line to maneuver the street. She observed a bus
that had to be in the oncoming lane by approximately 25% and blind to the hill in front of the bus to travel
the roadway, due to imited access from parked cars. She would like this to be the first step in having this
situation addressed by the City.
Councilmember Quinn expressed concern about an ongoing issue of people parking at certain parks in
the evenings. He has heard comments about the same car parking regularly after dusk and into the night
at Southgate Park, Tukwila families use City parks, and awareness must be raised regarding
unacceptable behavior.
Councilmember Kruller will be attending the upcoming (PSRC) Puget Sound Regional Council meeting
for the Transportation Policy Board. They have completed prioritization for King County projects. She
would like to see Tukwila's Strander Extension pject considered. There has been concern about
Tukwila having unsubstantiated funding due to lack of grants coming through. She would like to have
taiking points that reflect that Tukwila will stand behind the projectand fund it if we do not have other
outside funding sources. She would like to see that in writing from City administration if that is a
possibility and/or what the plan is. The cost is approximately $4.5 million, and she would need the
information within a week.
Mayor Ekberg said that will be taken care of and provided to Councilmember Kruller.
