MOVED BY BOHRER, SECONDED BY SIMPSON, THAT COUNCIL CONSIDER ITEM 8 AT THIS TIME (APPEAL REQUESTED BY WINDMARK HOMES, INC.). MOTION CARRIED. Brad Collins, Planning Director, explained that the City was contacted by the applicants. They had other commitments for this evening and have requested that the hearing be con- tinued. It was agreed by all participating parties that the hearing would be held on July 15, 1985. Mr. Richard Taylor, representing the Sunwood Homeowners, agreed that be the 15th everyone should be prepared and can all meet together at one meeting. Attorney Haney recommended that the Public Hearing be declared open and then continued by motion. This avoids the need to go through the notification procedures again. Mayor Van Dusen declared the Public Hearing open on the appeal request of Windmark Homes. MOVED BY BOHRER, SECONDED BY MORGAN, THAT THIS PUBLIC HEARING BE CONTINUED TO THE COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 15, 1985. MOTION CARRIED. Wes Frysztacki, Director of Transportation for the PSCOG, started with a 12 minute slide presentation to familiarize everyone with the Multi- Corridor Project. Mr. Frysztacki explained that the Steering Committee is composed of 15 people; seven are appointed by the Chairman of the Council; seven by the President of the Puget Sound Council of Governments; and one appointment is made by Duane Berentson, State Department of Transportation. The South Corridor is only represented by Mayor Hogan and a Councilman from Tacoma. The South Corridor is not as well represented as other geographical regions. The steering committee has identified the alignment that goes down Interurban Avenue, past City Hall and past the airport on 99 as their preferred alignment. The issue is whether or not this is the appropriate alignment. There has been some comment that alignment No. 8 through the valley needs more study. Community meetings are being held to get input from the public so the Steering Committee can re- examine their decisions. Council Member Phelps noted, for the record, comments she has made before the Multi- Corridor Steering Committee. The South Corridor is the third Corridor that will receive con- sideration for funding and construction. She would like to have both the east and the valley alignments supported. In TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL, REGULAR MEETING June 17, 1985 Page 2 SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS Cont. Multi Corridor Study (cont.) Police Management Audit CONSENT AGENDA the future years there needs to be some study of the impact of future local transportation improvements as recommended by the South King County Transportation Task Force, and, also, a closer look at the growth that is occurring on the Soos Creek Plateau and East King County which would have an impact on the No. 8 route. Council Member Harris gave some background on the Corridor study. The South Corridor is far in the future. We should not close the door on just one route. The employment empha- sis could shift or the population increase in different areas. Hopefully, the South will get more representation on the Committee. Council Member Morgan noted that many people travel east and west to get to work on the east side. A plan that does not examine travel to and from the valley floor from the east side and to and from the north and south to the east side is short sited. This should be considered. Metro needs to look realistically at where people will be working and where they will be commuting to in the future. It is not really what is going on right now. Council Member Phelps said she envisions the whole thing and have for a number of years because we about it here in Tukwila City Hall for at least 10 years that I am aware of is that there would be an LRS that goes from Everett to Olympia and serve the region. It would be a regional system. And, my remarks about 1B; since it runs through the employment center of the Valley and then* Police Chief Don Pierce introduced Dr. Donna Schram, Director of Urban Policy Research. Dr. Schram said her firm conducted the Management Audit of the Tukwila Police Department. They reviewed the current organizational structure of the Department and recommended changes, reviewed management and administration and recommended changes, reviewed current staff and service levels and developed recommended changes in manpower allocation, and last, they reviewed existing staffing and service levels and recommended changes to improve the efficiency and avoid duplication. The review considered the feasibility of automating records and reports. She said they found a department that had considerable turn- over the past several years, that was operating with a new Chief and new middle management personnel. None of the stan- dard rules for identifying service levels and work loads work in Tukwila with the small residential population and a huge day time population. Dr. Schram reviewed, quickly, the con- tents of the report. Chapter six dealt with staffing and it was recommended that there be two mid management commander positions created and that these two positions be exempt from Civil Service. It was further recommended that one addi- tional patrol or K -9 officer is needed to maintain service and response times at current levels. They saw no need to increase staff in the Detective Division. Dr. Schram concluded by saying the Department is well managed. a. Approval of Minutes: June 3, 1985 *on north and south from there, I really support that alternative given the fact that you are now talking about a trunk feeder bus alternative which would help alleviate some of the problems getting from the east to the west and back again.

MOVED BY HARRIS, SECONDED BY SIMPSON, THAT THE CONSENT AGENDA BE APPROVED AS SUBMITTED. MOVED BY HARRIS, SECONDED BY SIMPSON, THAT THE PROPOSED RESOLUTION BE READ BY TITLE ONLY. MOTION CARRIED. City Attorney Haney read a resolution of the City Council of the City of Tukwila, Washington, approving an Interagency Agreement between the City of Tukwila and the Municipality of Metropolitan Seattle for the ETS Construction and authorizing the Mayor to sign such agreement. MOVED BY HARRIS, SECONDED BY PHELPS, THAT RESOLUTION NO. 961 BE ADOPTED AS READ.* MOVED BY BOHRER, SECONDED BY PHELPS, THAT THE AGREEMENT BE AMENDED BY CHANGING "GOVERNING BODIES" TO "LEGISLATIVE BODIES" ON LINE 6 AND THE BOTTOM LINE ON PAGE 10. MOTION CARRIED. Councilman Bohrer noted Section 14, Line 12, "The compen- sation payable by Metro for such easements and golf course revenue losses shall be based on and established by an M.A.I. appraisal...." He questioned whether the use of an M.A.I. appraisal is appropriate for revenue losses to the golf course. Attorney Haney explained that one approach appraisers use is the income approach which is normally used on income producing property such as the Golf Course. The appraiser will consider both the market value of the land and the loss of income that will accrue to the business located TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL, REGULAR MEETING June 17, 1985 Page 4 OLD BUSINESS Cont. Resolution #961 (continued) NEW BUSINESS Proposed Ordinance Vacating property on So. 133rd on the property. Councilman Bohrer clarified that in deter- mining what the compensation payable for the easement might be, a market value method would be appropriate but for the revenue lost, the income approach would be appropriate. Councilman Bohrer said he had hoped the final agreement would include a brief project description. In establishing what we are agreeing to, a simple overview would be desireable as part of the agreement. Councilman Bohrer commented that if you compare the total package costs for Seattle, King County and Tukwila versus the mitigation in Seattle, King County and Tukwila, Metro says that Tukwila is receiving more than its share. But, if you take the number more appropriate to mitigation, Tukwila is receiving substantially less than are the others. For understanding of what Tukwila's position is and what some of the problems are, we need to separate the items in Exhibit B. He suggested that the following numbers go on the mitigation list: 11, 12, 13, 15, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 25 and 26. This comes to a total of $710,000, about one -third of what Metro claims it to be. The criteria he used for mitigation are that these are items the City would do even if there were not ETS project. Mr. Sneva noted Section 1, C which says "that all conditions necessary for issuance of the Shoreline Substantial develop- ment Permit for the ETS Project have been satisfied by Metro." At this time the conditions have not been satisfied. There are some final things that need to be clarified. Councilman Bohrer said there are three issues that need to be addressed further: (1) Attach the alignment; (2) Allow time to review Exhibits C D; (3) Split apart Exhibit B to show the mitigation. Mr. Sneva said that the agreement is acceptable to Metro as it is right now. MOVED BY MORGAN, SECONDED BY HARRIS, THAT THE RESOLUTION BE AMENDED BY ADDING "AT SUCH TIME AS THE SHORELINE PERMIT IS COMPLETED AND APPROVED" TO THE END OF SECTION 1. MOTION CARRIED. MOVED BY BOHRER, SECONDED BY PHELPS, THAT THE AGREEMENT BE FURTHER AMENDED TO INCLUDE THE DESIGNATED ALIGNMENT WHICH IS A7Y AND INCLUDE IT AS AN EXHIBIT ATTACHED TO THE AGREEMENT. MOTION CARRIED. MOVED BY BOHRER, SECONDED BY PHELPS, THAT THE AGREEMENT BE AMENDED FURTHER TO RESTRUCTURE EXHIBIT B INTO TWO PARTS: (1) Reconstruction and protection; (2) Mitigation (to include the list of items previously given).
