Urbina, Vice President with Foster Marshall, Inc., explained that Attorney Hard has an Ordinance for Council consideration on the method of payment of assessments for LID #25. The installment rate on the bonds will now be 11 3/8 This is the rate the people who elect to pay by the installment plan will pay. Foster Marshall, Inc. is offering to purchase the LID #25 bonds with interest payable at 10.875% annually. Two weeks ago the interst rate was 11 Under this new proposal the City will not have to put in additional money. The issue will be paid from the assessments as they are collected. LID bonds have no claim on the City's revenue. Mr. Urbina distributed copies of the purchase contract for Council review. He explained that Ordinance No. 1146 limited the interest rate payed by the installment holders ad` to 10 The ra on the bonds two weeks ago o was 11 The City would have ht -1% out and taken 10% in. The City would have had to make up the difference. Now, the proposed ordinance will raise the installment rate to 11 3/8% and the rate on the bonds to 10.875 The City will be collecting more than is being paid out. Mayor Todd asked if the participants in the LID agree to the change in interest. Attorney Hard explained that he has contacted the lawyers for the property owners and they have agreed to sign the waivers. He has received one back; King County's is going through their process;and the third property owner is in California, but his attorney has assured them there is no problem. Attorney Hard asked Council to consider the proposed ordinance prior to accepting the purchase contract.

The claim is for illegal arrest and misuse of public office. It has been forwarded to the Insurance Carrier for investigation. MOVED BY VAN DUSEN, SECONDED BY PHELPS, THAT THE OFFER MADE BY MR. MCNAMARA FOR THE CITY TO PURCHASE HIS PROPERTY BE REJECTED. MOTION CARRIED. (.1 24-�s Mayor Todd noted that he had received a letter from Mr. Edward F. McNamara of McNamara Investment Company concerning construction of 33 condominium units at the intersection of 53rd Avenue South and the right -of -way for South 158th Street. The proposal was denied by the City Council even though the density was far less than that allowed under the zoning code. Mr. McNamara is suggesting that the City purchase the property at its appraised value. MOVED BY VAN DUSEN, SECONDED BY BOHRER, THAT THE LETTER DATED MARCH 19, 1980 BE READ. MOTION CARRIED. City Attorney Hard read the letter. Since there was no one representing McNamara Investment Company in the audience, Councilman Hill asked if Council can hear the citizens on this subject. Attorney Hard said only if Mr. McNamara has had adequate notice that his letter is on the agenda. Mayor Todd said he is not sure Mr. McNamara was notified. Mr. Dick Goe, 5112 So. 163rd Place, requested that if Mr. McNamara re- approaches the City and is placed on the agenda again that the citizens of Tukwila on the hill adjacent to his property be notified. Further, that the circumstances of Mr. McNamara's proposal, which was refused by the City, be explained by the appropriate department at the meeting. Mr. Goe offered, if he is notified, he would see that the citizens are notified. TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL, REGULAR MEETING April 21, 1980 Page 3 OLD BUSINESS Cont. Alfred Schmid Lawsuit ORDINANCES Ordinance #1154 Fixing the amount, form, date, interest rate, maturity and denominations of LID #25 Bonds directing the sale to Foster Marshall Ordinance #1155 Adopting the Uniform Fire Code, 1979 Edition Proposed Ordinance Relating to the installation of sidewalks Mr. Robert Crain, 5105 South 163rd Place, asked if the zoning hasn't been changed to conform to the Comprehensive Plan. Mayor Todd noted that the Planning Commission is conducting Public Hearings on the new zoning code. Mr. Crain asked if today's court decision invalidated the waiver process. Attorney Hard said he didn't believe it did. He explained that, basically, the Court felt the City Council was arbitrary and capricious. Originally, when this matter was sent to the City Council, there was a staff recommendation that the waiver be denied and Council denied it. It was again reviewed by staff and they recommended the waiver be granted. When it went to Council they again denied it. Apparently, the judge felt, in making the second denial, the City Council was arbitrary and capricious. Mr. Goe asked if the City intends to pursue reversal of that decision. Attorney Hard said he will ask the Council to meet in Executive Session to discuss this matter. MOVED BY VAN DUSEN, SECONDED BY HILL, THAT THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE BE READ BY TITLE ONLY. MOTION CARRIED. MOVED BY VAN DUSEN, SECONDED BY HARRIS, THAT ORDINANCE NO. 1154 BE ADOPTED AS READ.* Attorney Hard noted the blank in Section 1, Page 2 should read 10.875 *MOTION CARRIED.

Attorney Hard reported on the trial held in King County Superior Court which was brought by Alfred Schmid and Partners concerning property at 53rd Ave. South and South 160th. They had been refused a waiver to develop an apartment complex on their property. The case was tried and the Court ruled the City had improperly denied them the right to file for a building permit. The City has been instructed by the Court to grant the waiver and begin to process the building permit application. City Attorney Hard read an ordinance fixing the amount, form, date, interest rate, maturity and denominations of Local Improvement District No. 25 bonds and directing the issuance and sale thereof to Foster Marshall, Inc. of Seattle, Washington.

MOVED BY HARRIS, SECONDED BY PHELPS, THAT RESOLUTION NO. 726 BE ADOPTED AS READ.* Mayor Todd explained that a section of property, assessed under LID #24 had changed hands and the property owner had requested the assessments be segregated into three different parcels so he can subdivide it.

Attorney Hard explained that the segregation process is a matter of State Statute and is very specific. If you add more than is required to the Resolution it may not comply with the law. Mayor Todd offered that he would not sign the Resolution until the Developer's Agreement is executed. Councilman Harris noted that anyone who requests a segregation and pays the fees as required has a right to the segregation whether they ever sign any other agreement. ROLL CALL VOTE: BOHRER YES HARRIS NO HILL NO JOHANSON YES PHELPS NO VAN DUSEN NO *MOTION FAILED *MOTION CARRIED TO ADOPT THE RESOLUTION AS READ.

TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL, REGULAR MEETING April 21, 1980 Page 5 RESOLUTIONS Cont. Resolution #728 Endorsing the King Subregional Plan adopted by the King Subregional Council of the P.S.C.O.G.(cont.) RECESS: 8:20 P.M.- 8:25 P.M. Resolution #729 Intent to vacate a portion of 44th P1. So. after certain actions are complied with Resolution #730 Authorizing the Mayor to enter into a consultant service contract for Christensen Green- belt Project Phase II MOVED BY VAN DUSEN, SECONDED BY HARRIS, THAT RESOLUTION NO. 728 BE ADOPTED AS READ.* Councilman Bohrer commented on the staff report that was prepared to justify the designation of Tukwila as a Secondary Metropolitan Activity Center. The analysis indicates that, of the nine criteria, we presently satisfy four of them. According to staff, we expect to satisfy two more of the nine in the near future. The other three we will comply with sometimein the future. It would appear that the City's case for the designation is well justified. Councilman Bohrer noted Section 5 of the model resolution and wondered why it was omitted from the new resolution. Councilman Bohrer requested a five minute recess to compare the two resolutions. Mayor Todd called the regular meeting back to order with Council members present as previously reported. MOVED BY BOHRER, SECONDED BY VAN DUSEN, THAT THE PROPOSED RESOLUTION BE AMENDED TO ADD SECTION 5 OF THE MODEL RESOLUTION AS SECTION 6 OF THE PROPOSED RESOLUTION. MOTION CARRIED. *MOTION CARRIED TO ADOPT THE RESOLUTION AS AMENDED. MOVED BY HILL, SECONDED BY HARRIS, THAT THE PROPOSED RESOLUTION BE READ BY TITLE ONLY. MOTION CARRIED. City Attorney Hard read a resolution of the City of Tukwila, Washington, stating their intent to vacate a poriton of 44th Place South at such time as certain actions are complied with. MOVED BY HILL, SECONDED BY HARRIS, THAT RESOLUTION NO. 729 BE ADOPTED AS READ.* MOVED BY VAN DUSEN, SECONDED BY PHELPS, THAT RESOLUTION NO. 730 BE ADOPTED AS READ. MOTION CARRIED. Councilman Bohrer noted that Section 3 of the Developer's Agreement says if the street is not constructed to minimum City standards, the City may refuse to accept any dedication. He said that a 40 foot wide right -of -way already does not meet City standards. Councilman Van Dusen explained that the only reason this statement is in there is to say we will not accept this street if it is not built to City standards. They are going to have to maintain it. Councilman Bohrer noted that City standards call for a local street to have a 60 foot right -of -way with a 48 foot pavement. He asked what the benefit to the City is if it is vacated. Mayor Todd noted that the right -of -way is about 300 feet long and runs into the freeway. Councilman Van Dusen said it will never be a viable City street. Councilman Bohrer said we need emergency access to the businesses on the street and a 30 foot wide street with parking on either side will not provide this access. We have no guarantee they will not park on the street. Attorney Hard said that City standards not only includes the width but also the type of construction materials. Councilman Phelps noted that installation of utilities are subject to other permits. *MOTION CARRIED WITH BOHRER VOTING NO. Mayor Todd read the title to the proposed resolution as follows: A resolution of the City of Tukwila, Washington, authorizing the mayor to enter into a consultant services contract for assistance in the design, bidding and construction inspection of the Christensen Greenbelt Project Phase II. TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL, REGULAR MEETING April 21, 1980 Page 6 RESOLUTIONS Cont. Resolution #731 Authorizing the Mayor to execute a contract with Harstad Associates for engineering services Resolution #732 Designating Horton Dennis Assoc. as Engineering Consultants for LID #30 MOVED BY VAN DUSEN, SECONDED BY PHELPS, THAT THE PROPOSED RESOLUTION BE READ BY TITLE ONLY. MOTION CARRIED. City Attorney Hard read a resolution of the City of Tukwila, authorizing the Mayor to execute a contract with Harstad Assoc., Inc. for engineering services. MOVED BY VAN DUSEN, SECONDED BY HARRIS, THAT RESOLUTION NO. 731 BE ADOPTED AS READ.* Councilman Van Dusen said it might be wise if the engineers talk with the citizens on the lower portion of the street before they do the preliminary design. Mayor Todd said they intend to talk to the citizens prior to design. Councilman Bohrer noted that we have had problems on our previous projects. He said he had suggested that these problems be catalogued and provided to the engineering firm for guidance so they can be faced before they get to the point of final review. He asked the Public Works Director if this had been done. Mr. Uomoto said they will take a step by step approach to prevent the problems from recurring. Councilman Bohrer asked what is being done differently to avoid the problems. Mr. Uomoto said the project is broken down into smaller phases. Councilman Bohrer said he thought it worthwhile to discuss the problems with the engineer prior to design. Mr. Uomoto said that an engineering determination would be made on the existing street. There is no need to tear up the street if the existing base is suitable when a simple overlay might serve the purpose. *MOTION CARRIED. Councilman Bohrer asked for a report at the next Committee of the Whole on the 1979 Street Improvement Project. When does the City expect to Call for Bids on 57th Avenue South and South 147th? Mr. Uomoto will check into this. MOVED BY VAN DUSEN, SECONDED BY PHELPS, THAT THE PROPOSED RESOLUTION BE READ BY TITLE ONLY, WITH HORTON DENNIS ASSOCIATES DESIGNATED AS ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS. MOTION CARRIED. City Attorney Hard read a resolution of the City of Tukwila, Washington, designating Horton Dennis Associates as engineering consultants for LID #30 and authorizing the. Mayor to execute the contract. MOVED BY HILL, SECONDED BY VAN DUSEN, THAT RESOLUTION NO. 732 BE ADOPTED AS READ.* Councilman Phelps asked how much of the engineering information from LID #28 is applicable to the new LID? Mr. Uomoto said that much of the information can be passed on. Councilman Harris noted Horton Dennis Associates was much cheaper than the other bidders. She wondered if they might have overlooked something. Mr. Uomoto said one possibility is the use of the existing road surface as the base and just widening the road. Attorney Hard requested the Resolution be amended by adding the following after "creating" to the second WHEREAS: "A new Local Improvement District which shall be designated as LID #30." MOVED BY HILL, SECONDED BY PHELPS, THAT THE RESOLUTION BE AMENDED TO INCLUDE THE WORDING RECOMMENDED BY THE CITY ATTORNEY. MOTION CARRIED. *MOTION CARRIED TO ADOPT THE RESOLUTION AS AMENDED. TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL, REGULAR MEETING April 21, 1980 Page 7 RESOLUTIONS Cont. Proposed Resolution Declaring intention to improve So. 152nd St. 57th Ave. So. to create an LID #30) Proposed Resolution Ending a moratorium 0 MOVED BY VAN DUSEN, SECONDED BY HILL, THAT THE PROPOSED RESOLUTION BE READ BY TITLE ONLY. MOTION CARRIED. City Attorney Hard read a resolution of the City Council of the City of Tukwila, Wash., declaring its intention to order the improvement of portions of South 152nd Street and 57th Ave. So. by acquisition of additional right -of -way, widening, grading, side- walks, storm and sanitary sewers, water facilities, underground utilities, and elimination system, and to create a Local Improve- ment District to assess the costs and expense of carrying out such improvements against the property specially benefited thereby and setting a hearing to receive objections thereto. Attorney Hard said Items 9h and 9i were placed on the agenda at his request. 9h, i and j all relate to the same problem. 9i cannot be completed at this time as the dollar figures aren't ready. In order to get the property owners to agree to the improvements on the hillside the City has to take action on the moratorium. He noted a letter he had received from Mr. Peter Buck, Attorney for S M Investments stating they are willing to settle their lawsuit by having the City withdraw its moratorium. In return his client will agree to not oppose the LID and will drop its lawsuit. Mayor Todd explained that the Building Department cannot accept the permit application until the moratorium is lifted. Attorney Hard said lifting the moratorium only lets them get started. Councilman Van Dusen suggested the Council make a motion that the moratorium will be lifted once the LID becomes viable as determined by the City Attorney. Councilman Hill said the City fought through LID #28. There must be some way the developer can get prepared to build but not take any physical action until the LID is ready to go. He said he doesn't want to lift the moratorium and have the LID turned down. Attorney Hard said lifting the moratorium only means they can begin the process of applying for a permit. They have to meet all the requirements. MOVED BY VAN DUSEN, SECONDED BY HILL, THAT THIS ITEM BE PLACED ON THE AGENDA FOR THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF APRIL 28, 1980. MOTION CARRIED. MOVED BY VAN DUSEN, SECONDED BY HILL, THAT THE PROPOSED RESOLUTION BE READ BY TITLE ONLY. MOTION CARRIED. City Attorney Hard read a resolution of the City of Tukwila, Wash., eliminating a moratorium on the issuance of any building or site preparation permits in the area affected by former LID #28 and repealing Resolution No. 695. MOVED BY VAN DUSEN, SECONDED BY HILL, THAT THE PROPOSED RESOLUTION BE ADOPTED AS READ.* Councilman Bohrer said that everybody at the table would like to be rid of the moratorium, but approximately one quarter of the people in the City live and use this street as an access. The original reason for the moratorium was letters from the Police and Fire Chiefs stating they did not consider the current street Would provide reasonable access. The history on the past LID says that Council might reasonably expect to have problems on formation of the current LID. He said he is concerned about more residences being started on that street. Councilman Bohrer made a motion, but did not receive a second to table this item. TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL, REGULAR MEETING April 21, 1980 Page 8 RESOLUTIONS Cont. Proposed Resolution Ending a moratorium Resolution #733 Amending the provisions of Res. No. 720, Attachment A, Position Class. Schedule Councilman Hill asked if the resolution could be amended to allow them to apply for the building permit, get the design work done, get the E.I.S. completed if it is required and as soon as the LID is out for bid they could start construction. Mayor Todd asked if Council wants to get involved in litigation over a moratorium that has no effect. This is hanging over the land developer's head and he doesn't appreciate it. He is one of the prime movers to form the LID. Councilman Bohrer asked Attorney Hard, since the City is on record as saying the access on the street is inadequate, what would you assess the City's risk if there is an emergency up there and the City is sued for not providing adequate access. Attorney Hard said the City always faces exposure if it approves construction in an area that may not have enough public safety and ability to get there. Attorney Hard said a lifting of the moratorium can be justified because the property owners have agreed to provide the improvements at a future time. Mr. Joel Gordon, representing Mr. Buck's office, answered yes to the best of his knowledge,to the question, is it the intent of your client to proceed with the formation. Councilman Bohrer asked if his client would sign a paper that he is willing and would not protest the formation of an LID. Mr. Gordon said he could not represent that his client would sign such a paper. There have been meetings of the property owners where the project was discussed and they agreed on the scope of the improvements. Under LID #28 you didn't have the agreement of the property owners and this is where the problem was. Here you are discussing the scope with the property owners and they are agreeing to it. It should be emphasized that lifting the moratorium is not the same as granting a building permit. Councilman Harris said she has a problem with this. That street is the only egress and access to the area. With the street construction going on it would be difficult enough to get in and out without building construction going on. Mr. Gordon said that lifting the moratorium doesn't mean this is going to happen. If this is a key concern the Building Department could add conditions to the issuance of the building permit and take into account blocking of the street. Councilman Johanson reminded them that it was staff, Fire and Police Departments,that the moratorium was initiated for. Councilman Bohrer said he would like to go back to Councilman Hill's suggestion of amending the resolution to let the applicant proceed to a point but give the Council some assurance that construction will not be started until the LID is formed. The intent is not to prohibit the development up there. Councilman Hill noted that this was the first time Council has seen this. *MOTION FAILED WITH VAN DUSEN VOTING YES. MOVED BY HILL, SECONDED BY HARRIS, THAT THIS ITEM BE PLACED ON THE AGENDA FOR THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF APRIL 28, 1980. MOTION CARRIED WITH VAN DUSEN NO. Mayor Todd asked Attorney Hard to have something in writing for Council by next Monday. MOVED BY VAN DUSEN, SECONDED BY HILL, THAT THE PROPOSED RESOLUTION BE READ BY TITLE ONLY. MOTION CARRIED. City Attorney Hard read a resolution of the City of Tukwila, Wash., amending the provisions of Resolution #720, Attachment A as they relate to the adopted Position Classification Schedule. TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL, REGULAR MEETING April 21, 1980 Page 9 RESOLUTIONS Cont. Resolution #733 Amending the provisions of Res. No. 720 Attachment A, Position Class. Schedule (cont.) Budget Transfer Motion #80 -14 DEPARTMENT REPORTS Mayor's Report Finance Director's Monthly Report of Investments MOVED BY PHELPS, SECONDED BY HARRIS, THAT RESOLUTION NO. 733 BE ADOPTED AS READ.* Councilman Bohrer noted that he had checked the Prior Plan Salary Study. By the analysis he made and the specifications given in the attachment, Grade 2 is not justified. The major deficiency seems to be in the lack of some direct supervisory responsibility. The educationalrequirement exceeds the maximum. He asked what was the intent for the change in position and is there some change that can be made in the Position Specifications specifically, regarding supervision. Councilman Phelps offered that the Prior Plan will be reviewed by the Finance and Personnel Committee. The criteria may be changing very shortly. She said that supervision is not limited to personnel only, but programs and policies of the City. Mayor Todd said implementing policy from the Mayor's office is John's responsibility. Councilman Bohrer suggested amending the Position Description to reflect the supervision. Councilman Harris said she gave him the benefit of supervision of all personnel. Councilman Phelps said the Position Specifications and the Position Description go together. They are not separate documents. Also, the Prior Plan gave some latitude to administration and to legislation. The Finance Committee took this latitude by setting it at Grade 2. Councilman Bohrer said if the position is to have that kind of responsibility, it should be recognized in the description. Councilman Bohrer and Mr. John McFarland compared and discussed the points each had assigned to the various categories. *MOTION CARRIED WITH BOHRER VOTING NO. Councilman Bohrer said the position does not describe what the man does and he said he would like to see this changed shortly. MOVED BY PHELPS, SECONDED BY HILL, THAT THE BUDGET TRANSFER MOTION BE READ. MOTION CARRIED. City Attorney Hard read, in its entirety, Budget Transfer Motion No. 80 -14. Administrative Assistant Position is being upgraded from Grade 5 to Grade 2 requiring a transfer of $3,570.00. Councilman Bohrer verified that the upgrade was to Grade 2, Step 1. Mr. McFarland agreed that this was correct. *MOTION CARRIED. Investments Sold $3,370,000 Investments Purchased $3,054,000 MOVED BY VAN DUSEN, SECONDED BY HILL, THAT BUDGET TRANSFER MOTION NO. 80 -14 BE ADOPTED AS READ.* Mayor Todd reported that tomorrow he would attend a meeting called by Metro to discuss the possibility of a Park and Ride Lot in Tukwila. Mayor Todd read the investment report submitted by Shirley Kristofferson, Acting Finance Director. Interest income for the month of March, 1980, amounted to $26,786.03 on the following activity. TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL, REGULAR MEETING April 21, 1980 Page 10 MISCELLANEOUS AND FURTHER AUDIENCE COMMENTS Finance Director Position Crime Prevention Officer Council Policy Analyst ADJOURNMENT c)5J Councilman Bohrer asked what progress is being made in finding a permanent Finance Director. Mayor Todd explained that the job was posted in -house and Mrs. Kristofferson applied. He appointed her to the acting position. He very likely will submit her name to Council for approval to the permanent position. Councilman Van Dusen said he has had a request from the Police Department for the City to consider funding the salary of the Crime Prevention Officer in full as the LEAA Grant is being discontinued. This item was placed in the Finance Personnel Committee. Councilman Bohrer reported that the Council Policy Analyst has submitted his resignation. One of the last items he was working on was the Council /Manager form of Government. He said this item would be on the agenda for this Community Affairs Committee Meeting. Mayor Todd said if Council wants to try this they should and see if it works. If it isn't satisfactory then the City should go to a full time Mayor with compensation for the full time position. 10:20 P.M.
