Board business. It was determined that having a city employee as a liaison between the Board
and the City would ensure all email between Board members would be captured and archived.

liaison.
7.New Business (5 min)
a.Facility Discussion
a.Scott Kruize brought up two items:
i.Accessory Dwelling Units: Mr. Kruize stated the following topic is a personal
concern that he wanted to share with TLAB. He is concerned about the
increased density in neighborhoods via accessory dwelling units and does not
believe that neighborhoods are the right place to increase density. Marie Parrish
offered her insights and believes there is two sides to every issue. Ms.
Benedetti, from KCLS, informed the Bpard that the new library was sited with
the intention that there would be more people to serve in the future. Placing
the library in the center of Tukwila Village was purposefully selected as the
location is central for Tukwila residents. KCLS is fully expecting library use to
increase and this is how the new library was planned.
ii. Mr. Kruize brought up the issue of truancy. Mr. Kruize said he believes it is not
in the best interest of KCLS or the City for kids to be skipping school to hang out
at the library. Ms. Benedetti described how the library is approaching the topic
with the Tukwila School District and the Tukwila Police Department.
