Jerry Dow, Manager of Transit Development, reported on the policy regarding the serving of areas and what is being done to increase services as more and more people use the public transit system. Ellen Bevington, Transit Planner, explained the proposed resolution creating a special Tukwila Task Force responsible for formulating a recommendation on the siting of a regional transit center by Metro.

MOTION CARRIED. *MOTION CARRIED, AS AMENDED. Don Williams, Director of Parks and Recreation, introduced Ken Caldwell, Consultant. Mr. Caldwell reviewed the proposed plan for the Parks and Open Space Plan. Councilman Bauch said the Parks and Open Space Plan is not a commitment to spend money, it does not commit the City. He stated on Page, Item (e), there is reference to a City Park on the Pond land. He asked that the reference be deleted and Councilman Bohrer concurred with the request. Councilman Bohrer suggested some of the long range plans be brought into short range. He noted the draft does not have an inventory of current City facilities and an assessment of needs so a comparison can be made. There should be consideration given to supporting the requirements of the commercial industrial area. That need not be the entire responsibility of the City. He said he would like to see a list of what the City has and what the City needs. Mr. Caldwell said the City does not have a commitment. The Plan meets the needs of the residents through 1990. Byron Sneva, Public Works Director, said the long range plan for Foster Golf Course calls for relocating the metal building from the park to the golf course. Don Williams, Director of Parks and Recreation, said it has been recommended to delete Duwamish Park from the list of finished projects.
