The Minutes of the Committee of the Whole Meeting held on November 24, 1981 will be approved at the Committee of the Whole Meeting on December 22, 1981. Don Williams, Director of Parks and Recreation, reported he had approached Puget Western and their offer is as follows: They will seek to dispose of Parcel 1 to Koll; Parcel 2 they will sell to the City for $2,600; on Parcels 3, 4, and 5 the City has the recorded easements on them, but they are offering to sell them at $100 each which would total $300; Parcels 6 and 7 they are offering at $500 each which would total $1,000; Parcels 8 and 9 are being offered at $1.00 each; the total price on Parcels 2 through 9 is $3,902. Mr. Williams said there is $6,900 in unfunded balance in the Land Acquisition Fund. If this is spent it will reduce the amount when we go into 1982. His recommendation was that the City purchase Parcels 2 through 9, and pay one -half of the cost of the title search. MOVED BY SAUL, SECONDED BY HILL, THAT THE CITY PURCHASE PARCELS TWO THROUGH 9 FOR A TOTAL OF $4,000 AND IT BE ON THE AGENDA OF THE DECEMBER 15, 1981 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING. MOTION CARRIED. Don Williams, Director of Parks and Recreation, said the Park Commission and the Community Affairs Committee have agreed the City's share of local funds is based on a service area greater than a population of 3,580. The City's request for local park funds has been reduced by 32 from $420,000 to $285,600 by the Pro Parks Committee. The Committee and Commission met and a recommendation was made to reduce the City's request to 11 projects with an estimated cost of $735,500. This is a sizable reduction from the previous submittal of $1,554,000. All cities were reduced by 32 MOVED BY SAUL, SECONDED BY HARRIS, THAT THE COUNCIL ADOPT THE RECOMMENDATION OUTLINED BY MR. WILLIAMS IN THE AMOUNT OF $735,500. MOTION CARRIED. Phil Fraser, Public Works Department, said staff was directed to ascertain whether or not they would be able to do the work in- house. They have staff capability, but in terms of the requirements of the block grant fund, outside consultants should be hired to determine the structural capability of the building. Jacob Macias, Grants Coordinator, said the City should hire a structural consultant to do the survey of the library building. It is not possible to use staff people to do the work because the work is not reimbursible with block grant funds. Block grant regulations prohibit the use of funds for paying municipal employees. The consultant would be more qualified in the analysis of historical structures. There are specific federal standards regarding any work done on historical structures and the consultant would have to utilize these in their recommendations. MOVED BY HARRIS, SECONDED BY SAUL, THAT THE CITY HIRE THE CONSULTING FIRM OF SWENSON ENGINEERS IN THE AMOUNT OF $600 TO DO THE SURVEY JOB ON THE LIBRARY BUILDING. Council President Van Dusen said we have qualified staff to do this and we have to go out and hire someone else. *MOTION CARRIED, WITH VAN DUSEN VOTING NO.

It specifically refers to the sidewalk ordinance. It requires that before the issuance of a permit, the applicant pay some money as a partial contribution toward construction improvements. 353, Councilman Hill said if the improvements are constructed in 10 years it will cost more due to inflation. They would want to pay what it would cost them now. Councilman Harris referred to paragraph 2 that says: "Said additional sum shall be in an amount equal to the amount that would have been assessed against the real property described herein if all said public improvements, identified above, had been constructed as a part of a local improvement district less the amount deposited under subparagraph 1 above."
