Budget Meeting
MINUTES
Council President Saul called the Budget Meeting to order in
the Police Department Training Room.
MABEL HARRIS, GEORGE HILL, DORIS PHELPS, DANIEL SAUL, Council
President, GARY VAN DUSEN.
Randy Coplen, President of the Tukwila Chamber of Commerce,
expressed concern from the business community of the rumor
Council was considering a B 0 Tax. It is a problem to the
business community. They oppose any tax that is based on gross
sales. Moving to Tukwila has been a benefit to most businesses.
Over the long term, a B 0 Tax would not be as beneficial to
Tukwila. He asked Council to consider some alternatives to in-
creasing the City's revenue besides a B 0 Tax.

Council decided to skip pages 29 and 30 until a decision is
made on the personnel structure of the OCD /Planning Department.
Council discussed page 31. Mayor Todd explained to Council
that he is in favor of a Planning Director and not in favor of
filling the OCD Director position. He is in favor of two people
in the Planning Department; one of them would be the director.
At the present time, the Department is made up of two full time
planners, one half-time planner and a planning intern to handle
the graphics work. Council decided to fund two full time plan-
ners (Associate and Assistant) and 4 months for a part time
planner. Further discussion will be held on the Planning Director
position.
