COUNCIL MEMBERS PRESENT PRESENTATION Police Dept. proposal for 1982 Budget 3 CITY OF TUKWILA COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE September 8, 1981 Tukwila City Hall 6:30 P.M. Council Chambers M I N U T E S Pat Lowery, Police Chief, presented statistics on Tukwila crime rates. The number of Part One crimes (crimes against people) are down due to a more aggressive patrol and more intensive training. They have a better utilization of manpower. There is new a de- tective on from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. They have found that noon to 4:00 p.m. is the major accident period, primarily because of shoppers. Traffic squads have been formed to enable double coverage during this peak period. The K -9 unit is moved to the shift where there is a shortage. These changes have enabled the department to have the manpower when it is needed and has reduced the overtime cost of the personnel. The overtime is 117 hours less than last year. The crime picture is down. Part of this is due to the fact that Tukwila is one of the few cities that has a man- datory security lock requirement for apartments. 99% of the bur- glaries in the apartments today are where the person has not se- cured the lock. Chief Lowery explained his 1982 budget priority list. 1. One additional K -9 unit. This has been the most cost ef- fective program. The unit assisted in 304 total calls that re- sulted in 5 arrests. The dog is sent out anytime a call involves a drinking dispute or a disorderly problem. Psycologically, the dog is a tremendous weapon. To put another K -9 on the street would give the City continual coverage with double coverage for 35 days. The K -9 is a commitment; if the officer should decide to leave the city, the dog stays here. A mutual aid with the K -9 units has been worked out with both Renton and Kent. The total years cost would be $34,000. 2. Additional administrative position. The position would not necessarily be a Lieutenant. The plan is to split the administra- tive tasks between Operations and Administration. Councilman Phelps asked if a Sergeant would be promoted to this position. Chief Lowery explained that it would require an additional posi- tion somewhere. The Technical Advisor position will be filled until July 1 so there will not be a full year of that salary. The proposal is to create the administrative position at that time. This position would cost about $34,000. 3. Vehicles: 3 replacement cars for patrol, 1 replacement in detectives, a new motorcycle for traffic patrol and 1 new light bar. The total cost would be $45,300. Patrol costs are down but the number of calls are 27% ahead of last year. 4. Upgrading of office facilities by expanding the ventilation system and changing office space. This would cost about $8,500. 5. Purchase one new mobile radio unit for a cost of $2,500. This unit was overlooked when the new ones were purchased. 6. Video system for training at a cost of $2,500. This would enable the department to make their own training films. 7. Purchase of 6 new 38 caliber revolvers to assure one weapon per person and purchase 3 new vests. At the present time, they are three short and vests need to be purchased to fit the person. These would cost $1,800. Chief Lowery reported that two major expenses to the department are jail costs and Valley Communications. He has received a letter from King County that jail costs are going up 100 The registration fee will go to $68 plus the $28.50 per day charge. Valley Communications will run approximately $75,987. This in- crease is due to an increase in services. We pay 13% of the overall expenses. Chief Lowery reported that his men are doing a good job and he thanked Council for their support.

Council Member Phelps led the Pledge of allegiance and called the Committee of the Whole Meeting to order. LIONEL C. BOHRER, MABEL J. HARRIS, GEORGE D. HILL, DORIS E. PHELPS, GARY L. VAN DUSEN, Council President. Mayor Todd reported that he has received a letter from Mayor Sogabe, Ikawa -cho, Japan. They are planning a trip to Tukwila the beginning of November. This group will be 56 58 people and includes 43 45 9th graders. Council President Van Dusen reported that he has received an opinion from Attorney Hard that the City can vacate a poriton of right -of- way. It does not have to be the whole area. Councilman Harris reported that she attended a meeting of the Metro Council where there has been discussion on the alternate route Metro is considering for carrying the effluent discharge from the processing facility. The citizens of Seahurst and Alki are opposing the use of their areas. This leaves all the flow from the Renton plant into the Duwamish River. She suggested that the City go on record of opposing this and support an alternate method. Jacob Macias, Grants Coordinator, reported that the City is re- ceiving some unbudgeted revenue from the King County Library System. At the present time, this money is going into the General Fund. Mr. Macias suggested that, since these funds are for mainte- nance, they should go toward improvements to the Library Building. The total amounts to $2,337.57. MOVED BY VAN DUSEN, SECONDED BY HILL, THAT THIS ITEM BE FORWARDED TO THE NEXT REGULAR MEETING AGENDA FOR ACCEPTANCE. MOTION CARRIED. Ted Uomoto, Public Works Director, recommended that Council accept the Community Center Remodeling Project as completed by Timothy Perry Construction Company, Inc. Final inspection was made by both Public Works staff and committee and it was determined the work was completed satisfactorily. The final cost, with minor changes during construction, was $16,367.68. Mr. Uomoto reported that a Business Representative from Southcenter Shopping Center has asked the City to consider modifying the traf- fic lanes between Southcenter Parkway and Andover Park East along Strander Boulevard to construct a left turn lane. This will reduce the traffic hazard and congestion during peak rush hours. Con- structing a left turn lane will not totally solve the problem, but will help reduce the hazard. There are major plans being proposed for a later date. The estimated cost for this modification is $7,000. The Southcenter Representative has indicated that if the cost runs over $7,000, they would consider paying the overage. Mr. Uomoto said they are proposing that the work be done by a contractor; however, doing it with City Personnel has not been ruled out. Councilman Bohrer asked about the street width. Mr. Uomoto said about 60 feet. This width would allow 4 eleven foot lanes and a 12 foot turning lane. The long -range plan is to widen Strander Blvd. TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL, C.O.W. September 8, 1981 Page 3 NEW BUSINESS Cont. Recommend approval of alternate source of matching funds for studies for Southcenter Blvd. Recommend award for Consultant for Interurban Ave. Development Plan RECESS: 8:07 p.m. 8:22 p.m. Proposed Ordinance Reclassifying cer- tain lands from R -3 to C -1 pro- posed Ord. amending the Comp. Plan Map (P L Co.) Mr. Uomoto reported that the City received approval of State funds in the amount of $70,000. This requires $14,358 City matching funds. Council approved using Forward Thrust Funds for this purpose. King County Council must approve this before it can be spent and the action has been delayed. Since then, the State has allocated $158,300 toward the same project, Southcenter Blvd. This, again, requires matching funds of $32,492. The total project cost is $190,792. The Puget Sound Council of Governments has expressed concern that cities are not using the funds that have been allocated to them. They have talked of withdrawing the money. Mr. Uomoto recommended that Tukwila proceed with the first phase of the Southcenter Blvd. project and not wait for King County approval. City funds can be used for the matching portion. The first phase would run approximately $70,000 to $80,000. It would locate the alignment of Southcenter Blvd. and its connection with Grady Way Bridge now under design. The final plans for Grady Way will be completed sometime in the next six months. The City needs to be sure that the tie between Southcenter Blvd. and Grady Way is complete. This is not a simple study. Phase II Study would go further into real estate acquisition and complete design and specifications. Councilman Hill said the Public Works Committee has discussed this project. He explained to Council the proposed new approaches to I -405, the West Valley Highway, and to Grady Way Bridge. MOVED BY HILL, SECONDED BY VAN DUSEN, THAT THE PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE INTERVIEW 2 OR 3 CONSULTANTS AND COME BACK TO COUNCIL WITH A RECOMMENDATION NO LATER THAN DECEMBER 1, 1981. MOTION CARRIED. Mr. Uomoto reported that three consultants responded to the request for proposal for design of the Interurban Avenue Development Project. Proposals were received from: Horton Dennis Associates $19,980 J. J. Sleavin Associates $24,280 Centrac $33,500 Horton Dennis and Sleavin were relatively similar in their approach in developing their plan by using combination field surveys and aerial planimetric surveys. The Public Works Committee has reviewed the proposals and recommends the approval of Horton Dennis and Associates to make the Interurban Avenue Development Study. Council- man Hill explained that this study is to set the elevations and alignment for Interurban Avenue. MOVED BY HARRIS, SECONDED BY HILL, THAT THIS ITEM BE PLACED ON THE AGENDA FOR THE NEXT REGULAR MEETING FOR APPROVAL. MOTION CARRIED. MOVED BY HILL, SECONDED BY HARRIS, THAT COUNCIL RECESS FOR FIVE MINUTES. MOTION CARRIED. Council Member Phelps called the Committee of the Whole Meeting back to order. Brad Collins, Planning Director, reported that the new agenda package contains revised and executed documents for the rezone request made by P L Company to build an office building on property north of the existing Xerox facility. (Drew Property) MOVED BY VAN DUSEN, SECONDED BY HARRIS, THAT THE PROPOSED ORDI- NANCES BE PLACED ON THE AGENDA FOR THE NEXT REGULAR MEETING.* Councilman Bohrer asked if the questions posed by the citizens of the area had been answered. Mr. John Richards, 15320 64th Avenue South, said he briefly looked at the packet, and it ap- pears that the concerns have been addressed. 3 TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL, C.O.W. September 8, 1981 Page 4 NEW BUSINESS Cont. Proposed ordinance Reclassifying cer- tain lands from R -3 to C -1 pro- posed Ord. amending the Comp. Plan Map (P L Co.) (cont.) Request by G. Schneider for rezone of .62 acres adjoining Southcenter Blvd. for office bldg. Councilman Bohrer said that assuming we have gotten through Step One, which is writing down all the conditions and concerns, can we now administer those conditions so that what happens on the ground is what is reflected in the ordinance. Mayor Todd said that nothing is impossible. We are capable of doing anything we are instructed to by Council action, and we will endeavor to do that. Councilman Bohrer clarified that the agreement would be executed and that all the requirements happen. Mayor Todd said he sees no problem with it what -so -ever. Councilman Bohrer said the reason for asking this question is that a group of con- cerned citizens have asked the City to do somethings to safeguard a piece of property. He wants to make it clear to the residents in the area that Council is doing what it can. There is a second step that the Administration will enforce the ordinances. Councilman Bohrer said he has asked the Historical Society if there is any historical merit to the old house on the property. Mr. Lynch, P L Company, said the house is still owned by the Drews to move off the site. *MOTION CARRIED. The office use is a buffering of the 405 Corridor. 3'7 Mr. Collins reported that Gerald Schneider has requested rezone approval for 0.62 acres adjoining Southcenter Blvd. to construct an office building. The property is currently zoned R- 1 -7.2; the applicant wishes to modify that classification to C -1, con- sistent with the Comprehensive Plan designation of office usage. The application was denied by the Planning Commission, and they have recommended that the Comprehensive Plan for the area actually be changed from office use to single family use. The Planning Department Staff recommends approval with certain stipulations. Council President Van Dusen read, for the record, two letters they had received on this rezone request. The first is from Lee R. and Madge Phillips, 6550 Southcenter Blvd. They restate their opposition to the request of .62 acres northwest of the inter- section of Southcenter Blvd. and Christensen Road. They object to spot zoning. To zone this one parcel C -1 would destroy the residential value of surrounding properties. The former 65th Avenue South stands as a natural buffer between business and residential area. As homeowners, they asked Council to deny this request. The second letter from Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Henke urge Council to support the Planning Commission's decision to not allow private enterprise encroachment on R -1 zoning. The intelligence, prudence and know -how employed by citizens of the past has allowed the City to maintain a healthy balance of in- distrial, park, shopping center, multiple dwellings and resi- dential areas and has kept out city a nice place to live. Mr. Lee Phillips, 6550 South 154th, said that he is representing himself, the Henkes, Mr. John Merrick of southwestern Washington, and Mr. Simonds. He has lived at the present location for over 20 years. It has been R -1 zone the whole time. They intend to continue living there if they can keep from being zoned out of the property. When Schneider bought the property, they knew it was zoned R -1, so they did buy it for an investment. The people that live there have a right to have that property as they see fit. They have all invested considerable money in their homes and would like to see the property remain R -1. They want to continue to live there and hope Council will go along with the Planning Commission's recommendation that the zoning be denied. Councilman Phelps asked if they have experienced any problems with the existing office building. Mr. Phillips said they haven't experienced anything except that 65th is being used as a parking lot. It is a road and doesn't belong to Schneiders. Mr. Merrill E. Simonds, 15460 65th Avenue South, said that he agreed to one office building next to him and he doesn't wish to have any more. TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL, C.O.W. September 8, 1981 Page 5 NEW BUSINESS Cont. Request by G. Schneider for rezone of .62 acres adjoining Southcenter Blvd. for office bldg. (cont.) Shimatsu request for waiver to develop retail center along Southcenter Pkwy. At times he can't get out of his drive because of traffic. At times the mailman has trouble getting to the box. If this office building is allowed, we will get that much more traffic. Mr. Collins explained that the proposed development would be limited to access off of old 65th Avenue South. No access would be approved to Southcenter Blvd. Councilman Harris asked if the people are aware their property is being considered for a change in zoning under the new Comp- rehensive Plan. Mr. Phillips said they are and they don't want the zoning changed. Councilman Bohrer consulted the map and said it is shown as R -1 on the areawide zoning map but the Comprehensive Plan does show it as Professional Office. MOVED BY VAN DUSEN, SECONDED BY HILL, THAT A DRAFT ORDINANCE BE DRAWN AND HAVE IT PLACED ON THE AGENDA FOR THE NEXT REGULAR MEETING. MOTION CARRIED WITH BOHRER VOTING NO. The applicant, A. Shimatsu, is requesting waiver approval to develop a commercial retail center on 3.4 acres at the west edge of Southcenter Pkwy. Currently the property is zoned for single family residential use and is vacant. The Comprehensive Plan designates the site "commercial." If the waiver is granted, the applicant will request a rezone to C -2. This property is desig- nated as an area of special development consideration due to environmentally sensitive factors of soil condition and protection of the wooded slope. Mr. Collins said that staff recommends ap- proval with certain stipulations. The request is identical to the one proposed earlier this year for a Wendy's restaurant. In the earlier decision, Council rezoned the property to C -2 back 250 feet from Southcenter Pkwy. The applicant desires to obtain a fill placement permit in conjunction with a favorable decision on the waiver application. In fairness to the applicant, staff is proposing that the issue of granting a waiver for purposes of pursuing a rezone of the property be considered independently from the waiver to obtain a fill permit. Mr. Collins called Council attention to the site plan. The critical area of concern on the Wendy property was be- tween elevations 25 and 30. On this site plan the 250 foot line is about the 30 foot elevation. The development pretty well stops at the 25 foot level, but there are small encroachments. The Planning Department's recommendation is that there be no cutting along the toe of the slope and that the development be subject to Board of Architectural Review. Mr. Gary Van Dyke, Hayden Island Company, noted that the soils report mentioned by staff is preliminary; since then, a new one has been obtained. It has been determined that there is no neces- sity to cut into the toe of the slope. They will remove existing vegetation and fill the area. Councilman Bohrer asked how many yards of fill will the project take. Mr. Van Dyke said a rough estimate is 25,000 yards for the entire site. It is 32 acres, about 4 feet deep. The development will be multi- tenant, retail space of about 47,000 square feet. Councilman Bohrer asked about the boundary and was told the line is just north of the southerly most house. The house will be removed. He asked staff if they have considered the impact of this amount of fill on the area. Mr. Collins said they will have a chance to review it at a later date. Councilman Harris asked if this amount of fill will cause any drainage problems. Mr. Van Dyke said there is an existing storm sewer system there which is adequate. MOVED BY HILL, SECONDED BY HARRIS, THAT THIS ITEM BE PLACED ON THE AGENDA FOR THE NEXT REGULAR MEETING AND INCLUDE VOTING ON THE WAIVER CRITERIA. MOTION CARRIED. TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL, C.O.W. September 8, 1981 Page 6 NEW BUSINESS Cont. Shimatsu request for waiver to develop retail center along Southcenter Pkwy. (cont.) 9:15 p.m. Proposed ordinance relating to side- walk construction Mr. Peter Van Dyke, Hayden Island Company of Portland, Oregon, said they are leasing the property from the family. He asked what the procedure from here on is. Council Member Phelps ex- plained that Council will vote on the 7 waiver criteria items and either approve, deny or modify the waiver application. It will then go to the Planning Commission for the rezone hearing. Councilman Van Dusen left the meeting. Mr. Collins explained that Council expressed concern about the date certain included in the proposed Developer's Agreement. The City Attorney had drafted the two agreements, one for future con- struction and one for future participation in an LID. In his ab- sence, Council tabled the item to this meeting. *MOTION CARRIED WITH BOHRER VOTING NO. Councilman Bohrer said he would like the ordinance back on the agenda for next week. MOVED BY HARRIS, SECONDED BY BOHRER, THAT THE ORDINANCE BE PLACED ON THE AGENDA FOR THE NEXT REGULAR MEETING. MOTION CARRIED. Council Member Phelps clarified that the ordinance will go to the next regular meeting and the developer's agreement to the Public Works Committee. 3.4 Attorney Hard explained that the problem arose when Council had four Developer's Agreements to accept and questioned the wording of the document. When he checked the Sidewalk Ordinance, it needed amending. Then, he drafted the two agreements to cover the concerns of the Council. One of the agreements will accommodate a situation where a developer is willing to commit to wilding a sidewalk prior to a certain date. These are just eyy to be reviewed. The second is committing to develop the sidewalk under an LID. Councilman Phelps cited paragraph one of the agree- ment, the City is obligated, by a certain date, to provide written specifications to the owner. Attorney Hard said that if the City wants the sidewalk built by a certain date, the City has to tell him where they want it. The first burden is on the City to give the location. With certain rights -of -way developers are faced with a handicap because the location and elevations are uncertain. The idea here is to set down the sequence of events. Once the plans are worked out the developer signs the agreement and he is obligated to build the sidewalk by a certain date. Attorney Hard offered to rewrite the agreement. Council Member Phelps asked if the ordi- nance amending the sidewalk ordinance could be passed without the developer's agreement. Attorney Hard said they could except there is a time period of 3 years written into the last paragraph. MOVED BY HARRIS, SECONDED BY HILL, THAT BOTH THE ORDINANCE AND THE DEVELOPER'S AGREEMENT BE SENT BACK TO THE PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE AND HAVE IT BACK ON THE AGENDA FOR SEPTEMBER 22.* Mr. Collins urged Council to not delay this matter because there are still some outstanding Certificates of Occupancy. Councilman Bohrer said he wanted to get the ordinance passed as soon as pos- sible. It is basically in good form. Whey does the City need to specify a date certain in the developer's agreement? Attorney Hard said that it seems to be to the city's advantage to have a date certain when the developer is to have the work done. The developer needs to have a date in there, but if Council wants to leave the date out it is possible. Councilman Bohrer said that the Council's objective has been to try and get sidewalks constructed as rapidly as possible. Attorney Hard recommended that he delete the last clause of the ordinance and redraft the Developer's Agree- ment. TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL, C.O.W. September 8, 1981 Page 7 NEW BUSINESS Cont. Sign Code Revision Purposes ADJOURNMENT: 10:15 p.m. Mr. Collins explained that the purpose of this item on the agenda was to allow the members of the Council, outside of the Com- munity Affairs Committee, to have input on the proposed legislative purpose statements. He suggested four names for the Technical Committee. The first one is an individual nominated by the Board of Adjustment; then the Council Intern; Mr. Seetoff, representing the industry side and Ron Mikulski, President of the Chamber of Commerce. These four people would help revise the sign ordinance according to the purpose statements. Councilman Bohrer said he felt the members for the Technical Com- mittee are inappropriate. He would like to see three residents to go along with the two business people. Mr. Collins said they were trying to keep it a working committee. Ms. Wendy Morgan, 15144 65th Avenue South, #404, said that as Vice Chairman of the Board of Adjustment, they have not met for two months. She asked how the Board appointed the person. Mr. Collins said he contacted several members of the Board and re- ceived one suggestion from one of the members. It is hoped that the members of the Board of Adjustment will be providing the Technical Committee with some insite. The Technical Committee will actually be a drafting Committee. Mr. Joe Duffie, 5332 South 140th, said that the name suggested by the Board of Adjustment member should be struck until the of- ficers of the Board are contacted. Being a member of the Board, he would deny the suggestion. Mr. Collins said they have been seeking suggestions of names to serve on this Committee. This was an oversight not to contact the whole Board. Council Member Phelps suggested the Council and other members of the Board of Adjustment be contacted for recommendations for the Technical Advisory Committee. Councilman Bohrer said that the Community Affairs Committee did discuss the purposes for revision of the sign code. The City has had a Sign Code since 1973; the key part not being enforced was on non conforming signs. He would like to see that the code is enforceable this time. This should be one of the objections. Item 4 -D says "tax non conforming signs for abatement purposes..." Taxes are not the only burden for this. He said he hopes it is taken in a general sense. Mr. Collins said that was the intent. MOVED BY BOHRER, SECONDED BY HARRIS, THAT THIS ITEM BE FORWARDED TO THE NEXT REGULAR MEETING AGENDA. MOTION CARRIED. MOVED BY HILL, SECONDED BY HARRIS, THAT THE CITY OF TUKWILA COM- MITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING ADJOURN. MOTION CARRIED. koz.

September 8, 1981 Page 3 of Minutes Councilman Bohrer: Mayor Todd: Councilman Bohrer: Mayor Todd: Councilman Bohrer: Mayor Todd: Councilman Bohrer: Mayor Todd: Councilman Bohrer: Mayor Todd: Councilman Bohrer: Councilman Phelps: Councilman Bohrer: Mayor Todd: VERBATIM TRANSCRIPT Proposed Ordinance -Re- classifying certain lands from R -3 to C -1 (P L Co.) Then, I have one other question, I guess; one that we dis- cussed briefly the other night and that is, assuming that we have gotten through step one, which is the need to write down all the conditions and get all the concerns written down, can we now administer those conditions so that what happens on the ground is what is reflected in this ordinance. Are you addressing your question to me? Yes sir, I am. Nothing is impossible. We are capable of doing anything we are instructed to by Council action arid we will endeavor to do that. You are saying, then, that you feel it is possible to execute this agreement and be sure that all this happens. I see no problem with it what -so -ever. The concern that I have Mr. Todd, quite frankly, is that the City had another ordinance which was very similar. It included an ordinance; two such written agreements; an attachment that had nine exhibits; it called for a twenty foot to twenty -five foot natural growth preservation zone along the boundary and that growth preservation zone doesn't exist. It was my recollection, from an earlier meeting that you had stated that that particular agreement was unenforce- able. Now, this particular one, it seems to me, is molded in the same pattern. My question to you is why is one un- enforceable and the other one not? Well, Mr. Bohrer, it appears to me that your question is more political than sensible and I think it is unfair for you to accuse me of not enforcing something that was done prior to the time I became the Mayor, or at least, it was begun at that time; so, my answer to you is, if you want to address the question that I previously answered, fine, but don't get politics involved in this subject, please. Mr. Mayor, it is you who are raising the issue of politics. I point out that the Council passed an ordinance and I can bring forward photographic evidence, if you choose, that says that there are buildings foundations within the twenty foot zone; there are rockeries in the twenty foot zone; there are ten foot fills in the twenty foot zone which were supposed to be left as a natural growth preservation zone. You, Mr. Bohrer, if you'll recall, and I think the record will speak clearly to this subject; you took over the management of Sunwood and it has been your baby since then, and I don't think there is any doubt that's happened. Mr. Todd, I think you have made clear on a number of occasions who is the Administrator of the City and if there's any problem with where the administration of Sunwood falls, I think that's clear by law and clear by your own actions. May we keep the discussion limited to the P L... If I may have the administration of Sunwood and also the administration of this particular ordinance, I would be delighted to do that. I suggest that if you want to officially have administrative authority, Mr. Bohrer, you maybe should run for Mayor next time. VERBATIM TRANSCRIPT P L Company September 8, 1981 Page 2 Councilman Bohrer: Mayor Todd: Councilman Hill: Councilman Phelps: Councilman Bohrer: Councilman Phelps: That is precisely the point, Mr. Todd, you are the Mayor. I refuse Madame President, aren't we kind of getting off the subject. We are on the subject of P L Company Comprehensive Plan amendment and, unless Mr. Bohrer would like to make a charge that the administration failed to enforce our ordinance, I think that is a separate issue. My copy of the agenda doesn't indicate any discussion on Sunwood Project. I would suggest that we stick to the subject of the P L Investment Corporation Rezone at hand and attached documents. My reason for bringing this up at this point in time is that a group of concerned citizens have asked us to do somethings to safeguard a piece of property they own. The point that I am making is the Council can do what it can do, namely to have those conditions written down and to pass them and that we have done in the past. Beyond that point in time, it is out of hands and that I want it clear to the residents in that particular area who are asking Council to protect them that we are doing what we can, but there is a second step beyond getting it all written down,over which, despite Mr. Todd's statements, the Council has no control. It is the administration's task to administer the ordinance once it is written. It is not mine by law nor have I tried to ac- complish that in any of the things that I have done. I believe the City Clerk has recorded the Mayor's assurances on that issue regarding this project. Are there any further questions on the P L Investment Corporation Project.
