Bauch, Mayor Tukwila City Council 6200 Southcenter Blvd. Tukwila, WA 98188 December 26, 1979 It is my intention to allow Ordinance No. 1139, which adopted the budget for year 1980, to become effective without my approval. I will not veto this ordinance because I do not want to subject the Council to another meeting prior to the end of the year. My objections to the adopted budget are twofold. I do not believe that the personnel added to the Fire and Police Departments are necessary, and I feel that the overtime and extra labor budgets allocated to the various departments are excessive. An honest examination of the records for the Police and Fire Departments will show that the staffing levels are more than adequate to protect the City. These same records will show that productivity is going down for these departments. The large outcry for additional staff was to satisfy campaign promises. A dark cloud looms on the fiscal horizon of the City when it succumbs to pressure of the employee groups, especially when these groups intimidate the public during the elective process. During recent labor negotiations, a labor arbitrator reduced the hours of work for the police force, and immediately this department wants to increase the hours of work via the overtime route for training and other "necessary tasks." The potential for abuse is great; therefore, I believe that a legislative control and audit should be imposed on the expenditure of overtime. The elected officials have a trust to keep with the residential sector of the City. The ten -year Utility, Undergrounding, and Street Improvement Program has been promised since 1972. It was implemented in 1976. Failure to provide this program to all sections of the City is a violation of this trust. To use this program to balance the budget and to provide a bloated, unjustified staff, is setting a precedent that will be hard to break. Sincerely yours, ed dr.GZc1 Edgar D. Bauch Mayor
