I. BUSINESS AGENDA
Motion was made, seconded and carried, to move the presentation to the end of the agenda.
A. Off-Street Parking Amendment
th
The proposed Justice Center design includes a parking area that is across South 150 Street from
the main building. This would be a standalone use, not accessory to the building, and therefore
not allowed per the Zoning Code. Staff is seeking Committee direction on whether or not to
forward the item to the Planning Commission to make a recommendation on modifying
regulations for required off-street parking areas to allow the City to use the parcels for the
Justice Center parking. A map of the proposed Justice Center layout was distributed. FORWARD
TO PLANNING COMMISSION.
B. Proposed 2019-2020 Biennial Budget
Staff presented proposed 2019-2020 budgets for the following departments and funds:

he department is proposing reductions in the areas of extra
labor staffing, supplies, and professional services. Proposals include the elimination of the
Fourth of July event and No School Day camps and reduced service levels for Camp Tukwila,
senior events, adult basketball, and cooking classes.
Land Acquisition and Park Fund (Fund 301)
King County park levy funding is currently the main source for this fund, with three projects
scheduled in 2019/2020: Parks and Recreation Open Space Plan update, development of a
potential park, and final paving of Fort Dent parking lot.
Committee members asked clarifying questions about the proposed budgets. Chair Kruller
