PHELPS, JOE H. DUFFIE, EDGAR D. BAUCH.
MOVED BY BOHRER, SECONDED BY PHELPS, THAT COUNCILMEMBERS VAN
DUSEN AND HARRIS BE EXCUSED FROM THE MEETING. MOTION CARRIED.
OFFICIALS IN LAWRENCE E. HARD, City Attorney; ALAN DOERSCHEL- Finance
ATTENDANCE Director; BYRON SNEVA, Public Works Director; MAXINE ANDERSON,
City Clerk.
Mayor Todd reported that he sent a letter to the King County
Executive regarding the City's position on the 56th Ave. South
Bridge. The return reply stated that he does not totally agree
with this position and that his aide would investigate the matter.
Also, Mrs. Baker, citizen in the Foster Point area, reported to
him that she has received a letter from Mr. Keith Eggan, State
Highway Commission. He said that the Federal Highway Administration
Bridge Replacement Committee will meet in October and consider the
Foster Bridge in its priorities. If it is rated high enough, ap-
proval will be given to proceed with design.
Council President Bohrer reported a Public Hearing will be held
June 3 before the King County Boundary Review Board on the
proposed incorporation of the City of Highline. This proposal
includes a substantial part of the City of Tukwila's planning
area. The City should strongly oppose this action. It is his
intent to ask staff for some analysis and status.
Council President Bohrer cancelled the scheduled retreat for
May 8. Council reset the date to May 17, 1982, 7:00 p.m.
Attorney Hard reported that last Thursday a lawsuit was filed
against the City by Herman Allenbach. The purpose of the suit is
to challenge the new Zoning Code. On Friday, there was a hearing
before the presiding judges in the King County Courthouse. The
purpose was an effort to get an injunction preventing the City
from putting its new zoning code into effect. He was unsuccessful
in getting a temporary injunction. At 12:01 a.m., this morning,
the new zoning code is now the law of the City. Yesterday (Monday)
a Building Permit application was filed by Mr. Allenbach. Staff
is reviewing the project to see if it is complete. A Writ of
Certiorari has been issued. This means the City must prepare a
number of documents about proceedings. It could mean that we
have to produce verbatim records of the entire period the code
was being reviewed, including the Planning Commission. We are
looking at a tremendous expense. He is going to make an effort
to limit what the City is going to have to produce.
Councilman Bauch asked why the ordinance wasn't published until
the following Wednesday. Attorney Hard said he felt the safest
position for the City was to wait ten days; then publish it.
Councilman Phelps noted that Community Affairs Committee will
meet Thursday. They will discuss Golf Course Green Fees and the
Interurban Corridor Design Plans.
Councilman Bauch reported that the Public Works Committee will
meet Wednesday and discuss the 6 -Year Street Plan.
MOVED BY BOHRER, SECONDED BY HILL, THAT THE PUBLIC HEARING ON
THE 6 -YEAR STREET PROGRAM BE HELD JUNE 7.*
Councilman Bauch said that this is if Council changes meeting
nights to Monday.
*MOTION CARRIED.
