Repair and Maintenance (38) increased to $4,000. $800 is al-
located to help the individual departments pay the maintenance
contracts on their office machines.
Valley Communications (80.51) is increased to $57,250. The
$3,512 is Tukwila's share of the proposal to start replacing
the operating equipment.
Council discussed the possibility of discontinuing the City-
wide cleanup program but decided it was a good service to the
citizens.
Discussion was held on hydrant rental (39) in the amount of
$18,000. It was decided not to raise it. Some felt $6.00
per hydrant is inadequate.
Mrs. Kristofferson discussed the lease purchase agreement on
a new computer. Councilman Bohrer said he approved of the
computer as long as it is a rental.
The only change on Page 60 was the increase of $730 to Trans-
portation, which was made earlier.
The $6,250 requested for a disc drive unit for the Fire Department
Computer was cut out of the budget. It was previously agreed
if Council allowed the request for a Finance Department Computer,
the Fire Department request would not be allowed.
Council approved the purchase of the following items from
Revenue Sharing Funds:
Finance Computer, $9,000 (moved from page 60)
2 Police Cars, $15,575 (moved from page 67)
6 tires for backhoe, $4,000 (moved from page 67)
Welding booth, $1,500 (moved from page 67)
Council removed the $5,000 in Extra Labor for the part time
clerk /typist.
Discussion was held on the part time Inspector position. It
was suggested that this inspector take on the water and sewer
installation inspections. Council decided to leave the position
part time in the Building Department for 1981.
Council approved the request for a new Clerk, Probationary III
in the Police Dept.
Council discussed the request for a part time Clerk /Typist. The
position was cut as they decided it was unnecessary.
Council discussed the Assistant Chief position. At the present
time, there is no one in the position. Council voted not to
fill the position so it was cut from the budget. Page 118 was
reduced by $33,575.
Council discussed the possibility of combining the positions of
Teen Specialist and the Athletic Specialist into one job. The
Recreation Department has part time High School students to help
with the active sports. If the entrance fees are increased, the
Department can continue to use part time help. Council agreed to
meet with the Recreation Supervisor and consider this again.

Project. The proposal is to improve 59th Avenue South from South
147th to South 142nd, South 142nd St. from 59th Ave. So. to 57th
Ave. So. and So. 144th St. from 59th Ave. So. to 58th So.
Council agreed to leave $250,000 in the Roadway Construction Fund
(30.63.16). The project will be reduced in scope by not doing

improved, but the improvements to the lower section will be reduced.

money for the project that needs to be carried forward.
Council discussed the $48,000 allotted for preliminary engineering.
It was decided to leave the Macadam Road project in the budget,
but cut out the South 166th project.
Council reconsidered the Minkler Blvd. extension project for
