Mr. Uomoto explained that they are trying to get permission to
use the Arterial Street Fund on the Grady Way Bridge Project.
If the project continues, Tukwila's portion of the design is
about $28,000. The first year's construction would be something
like $120,000.
Mrs. Kristofferson explained the problems created by the proposed
change in water rates. It will take 60 days before the new pro-
gram could be ready for testing. Mayor Todd said once the com-
puter program is tested and operating, the City will be $50,000
to $60,000 in the red. He suggested the ordinance be simplified
so the computer won't have to be reprogrammed. Council agreed to
discuss this further.
Council discussed the hiring of two new Utility Persons in the
Water Department. Mr. Uomoto pointed out that Tukwila has bigger
meters and higher pressures than most the Water Districts.
Councilman Harris pointed out that most of them are new lines.
Council agreed they did not want to approve the hiring of two
new employees for the Water Department.
