Ten percent would be withheld as is the practice. MOTION CARRIED, WITH BOHRER VOTING NO. Councilman Van Dusen reported that he and Councilman Hill met with Mr. Fitzsimmons of Mr. Revelle's office. They have agreed with a joint resolution and a sharing of costs. The cost of the new bridge is currently estimated to be $1.5 million. The cost is to be shared 80% by State Bridge Replacement Funds and 20% by local matching funds. The local matching funds will be split 50/50 by the City of Tukwila and King County. The City will reimburse King County $16,849.01 as Tukwila's share of the costs resulting from clean up of the old Foster Bridge. The City will pay 50% of the cost of the Washington Natural Gas Company claim for damages if the suit is lost. Councilman Hill said Section 4 states the County and the City agreed on 50% each ownership of the bridge. He said he wants it clear it is 50% ownership on the total project. Mr. Sneva, Director of Public Works, said the estimated cost is 1.092 million dollars for purposes of establishing it as a bridge priority; however, King County has used the figure of 1.5 million dollars. The cost to the City would be $150,000. Councilman Hill said the bridge grant will be revised to reflect 80% of the cost of the bridge. King County and the City will pay the remaining 20% on a 50/50 basis. Carl Carlsen, Deputy City Attorney, suggested the wording in Section 3 state that King County will at its sole expense provide the defense for the lawsuit now pending with Washington Natural Gas in connection with the failure of the old Foster Bridge. Tukwila will pay 50% in sum to Washington Natural Gas in resolution of such lawsuit whether resolution is by court judgment or by settlement. King County is to pay remainder of the sum and will not seek further contribution or reimbursement from Tukwila. Mr. Carlsen suggested that wherever the word "bridge" appears it should be "replacement bridge project." He also suggested that the title of the resolutions be for "replacement of a realined 56th Avenue Bridge."

Councilman Hill said Paragraph 3 of the proposed agreement with King County worried him, especially the last sentence of the paragraph where it says: "The Board may determine modifications of the annual service fee when deemed in the best interest of library service in the King County Rural Library District." Deputy City Attorney Carlsen said Paragraph 3 is not clear. It does not say what amount will be charged the City. The agreement is difficult to understand. The last sentence of Paragraph 3 leaves it open for the library to assess any amount they may want to the City.
