HomeMy WebLinkAbout2008-09 Hazelnut Newsletter - Volume 29 No. 4f1 A City of Tukwila publication for our residential and business communities VOLUME 29, NUMBER 4 SEPTEMBER 2008 y Celebrating 100 years Commission opening Are you interested in helping to shape your community's future growth and changes? The City of Tukwila is look- ing for a candidate to fill an open posi- tion on its Planning Commission. The Planning Commission is a group of community members that reviews development proposals and makes rec- ommendations on site plans, landscap- ing, materials and design. The seven - member Commission also advises City officials on land use planning goals, policies and plans, such as the Com- prehensive Plan and Shoreline Plan. Appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by the City Council, Planning Commis- sion members serve without compen- sation. Applicants must be residents who have lived in Tukwila at least one year. The current opening expires March 31, 2011. Serving on the Plan- ning Commission requires a consistent time commitment. The Commission meets monthly on the fourth Thursday, and sometimes meet more frequently if there are many items for review. An outline of the Planning Commission bylaws and roster of current members is available online at www ci.tukwila. wa.us/dcd/dcdplcom.html. If you are interested in serving, please complete and submit — by Friday, Oc- tober 10 — the one-page application, which is available online at www. ci.tukwila.wa.us/mayor/boards.pdf, or at City Hall in the Mayor's Office. For more information, contact DCD Director Jack Pace at 206-431-3686. Shoreline Master Program The City of Tukwila is in the public review phase for the Draft Shore- line Master Program, which is the document that sets policy and es- tablishes regulations for land uses along the Green/Duwamish River. Per the State's Shoreline Manage- ment Act, a local government pro- gram is required, which strives to achieve the following goals: Shorelines of the State are ac- tive with water dependent uses such as boating and fishing. Numerous opportunities exist along the shoreline for the public to see, access and enjoy the river. Essential vegetation, water qual- ity and riverbank geometry exist to function for flood control, wildlife — including endangered fish species — and navigation. After investigation, study and conversations with the State, City staff drafted a set of policies and regulations that attempt to meet these goals taking into consider- ation the unique character of the City's Green/Duwamish River. We encourage you to review the Draft Shoreline Master Program and to discuss the proposed changes with your neighbors. The Draft Shoreline Master Program is available online at www.ci.tukwila.wa.us. If you have questions about the plan or would like to be notified about future meetings or hearings, please contact Se- nior Planner Carol Lumb at 206-431-3670 or email clumb@ci.tukwila.wa.us.

Tukwila is working on its first biennial budget for the years 2009-2010. Converting from our pre- vious annual budget process is a new and somewhat time-consuming experience. Interim Finance Director Bob Noland is working with City administration to make this transition as smooth as possible. The bi- ennial budgeting method provides an opportunity to streamline government services through better long- range and strategic financial planning, and we'll ben- efit from its value in future years. On the economic front, Westfield Southcenter held the grand opening of its newly remodeled mall on July 25th. Governor Christine Gregoire, most of our elect- ed officials, and many Westfield Corporation dignitar- ies were on hand for the opening event. My thanks go out to all involved City staff, whose professional and timely services moved this enormous project along to completion. Other development issues have kept the City busy. The August 18 City Council agenda calls for a public hearing and action on a Developer's Agreement with Mastro Properties for a mixed use condominium proj- ect near the Commuter Rail Station south of I-405. Considerable staff time is required in moving the Tukwila Village development forward. Presentations by the two final developers will be made to the city council and that will be followed by sufficient com- ment/question opportunities from members of the city council and citizens. Among the really fun things we enjoyed this summer was the dedication of the new `Spray Park' at Tukwila Community Center. The weather couldn't have been more perfect for the kids (of all ages) who attended and enjoyed the festivities. The Tukwila Days celebration this year had a centenni- al flavor and a new look from past years. Thanks to all the staff who worked so hard to make this a resound- ing success with a new look parade, classic car show, vendor booths, and lots of activities for children. Enjoy these last days of the summer. Mayor Jim Haggerton ■ COUNCIL CORNER 'Looking back at our Tukwila summer by Joe Duffle, Council President Summer has rushed by us once again; we just celebrated another Labor Day and our kids are back in school. For many of us, it seems like summertime encourages relax- ation and recreation and the return to fall will often seem quite the opposite... getting back down to work and school full-time. One thing that has impressed me is the ongoing hard work and dedication of the City of Tukwila staff and community. Projects, activities and opportunities to improve our wonderful City have not taken a break this summer. Just a few of things we have continued to work on diligently this summer include National Night Out, Tukwila Village, Council Coffee Chat, levee repair, the Parks & Recreation Open Space Plan, the Community Garage Sale, Tukwila Days and implemen- tation of the City's first-ever biennial budget. No matter what time of the year, our staff strives to offer the best services they can to the Tukwila community. It's amazing what all we are doing today. That little City of Tukwila isn't so little anymore. In fact, we are a mover and shaker in the South Sound! And I couldn't think of any other City I want to live in, serve in and be a part of. This has been one whirlwind of a Centennial Celebration! And as I look back at this summer and all that we, as a community, have set forth to accomplish, I remember that... Together We Stand, Divided We Fall. Tukwila's reading "Hundreds of Books"! The Tukwila Library Advisory Board invites you to participate in our Centennial activity, Hundreds of Books! You could win a bookstore gift certificate. Tukwila residents Raymond Single- ton, Travis Boyd and Pam Carter have already won! Winners will be drawn every four to six weeks until June 30, 2009. To be eligible, read a book, fill out a slip and deposit it in the boxes at the Foster and Tukwila Public Libraries, City Hall or Tukwila Community Center. Students can deposit book slips at their schools. The more books you read, the more chances you have to win. So get a book from the library, borrow one from a friend, or buy one from a local bookstore... and read! 1 SEPTEMBER 2008 3 Yksib PIM ••i.ltiet Exevil1rz` .„ Explorers (L to R): Quang Tran, Kelsey Extine, LaceyMcWade, Eric Chung, Dung Do, Austin Curtis, Edgar Sarkisyan Police Explorers go to Conference The Tukwila Police Explorers attended the 2008 National Explorers Confer- ence in Fort Collins, Colorado in July. During their weeklong stay they com- peted with Explorer Posts from across the country, taking part in various law enforcement scenarios like traffic stops, domestic violence, arrest/search, and white collar crime. Our teams received certificates for placing in the top 10% in traffic stops and domestic violence. In addition, they competed in physical fitness, precision driving and shooting. Explorers are a group of young adults ranging in age from 14 to 21 with a de- sire to learn about law enforcement. They also perform community service projects while assisting Tukwila's Police Department. If you are interested in joining the Tukwila Police Explorers or want more information about the Explorers, please contact Don Dart or Ted Rutt at 206-433-1808. The Police Department needs your help The Tukwila Police Department Traffic Division is currently looking for vol- unteers. Volunteers must be at least 21 years of age. Duties consist of enforc- ing handicap parking zones, checking and impounding abandoned vehicles, and placement of the speed radar trailer. Hours are very flexible (daytime) according to your schedule, with only 8 hours a month required. This is a great opportunity for you to help keep your Tukwila neighborhoods clean and safe. Please contact Don Dart at 206-433-1808 for more information, or Tracy Gallaway at 206-768-2822 for a volunteer application. New Community -Oriented Policing Coordinator Chris Partman has joined the Tukwila Police Depart- ment as the City's new Community -Oriented Policing Coordinator. Chris comes to Tukwila from the Seattle Police Department where she spent the last 19 years as a Parking Enforcement Officer and supervisor. Among numerous other functions her duties will include orga- nizing and training in the areas of Crime -Free Multi - Housing, Apartment Manager's Network, Block Watch, and Night Out Against Crime. Her goal is to promote and foster good relationships within the communities and the Police Depart- ment. To contact Chris, give her a call at 206-431-2197 or email her at cpartman@ci.tukwila.wa.us. Safe and alert driving is especially important now With school back in session and fall just around the corner, the days will be getting shorter, the weather gloomy, and kids will be walking and riding bicycles to school. Be sure to watch for the children as you drive near schools and through residential neigh- borhoods. Remember to adhere to the 20 MPH school zone speed limits. Tukwila Po- lice will be monitoring these areas — as well as the NO PARKING zones around the schools — with radar. When transporting your chil- dren to or from school, make sure they are properly seatbelted. Children should not be wearing their backpacks while riding in a vehicle since this could cause additional injury in the event of an accident. Children under the age of 8 must be proper- ly restrained in a child safety seat unless the child is 4'9" or taller, and children under 13 must be in the back seat when practical. A good safety reminder for pedestrians is to wear colors or reflective material that will help motorists see you. Wearing all dark clothing during the winter is risky. Many times motorists are unable to see you until the last second, too late for them to stop, resulting in an accident that could be deadly for the pedestrian. A couple of new laws went into effect this year. RCW 46.61.667 prohibits the use of a cell phone while driving unless you have a hands-free device. RCW 46.61-668 prohib- its sending, reading or writing a text message while driving. Each of these sections carries a penalty of $124 if you receive a ticket. If you'd like more information, check out the Revised Code of Washington on the In- ternet. You may also contact the Tukwila Police Traffic Division with specific ques- tions about traffic laws. The Tvkwita Police Department offers yov some Halloween safety hints: gier Do not enter a home or apartment vntess yovr parents go in with yov. g,' Go trick -or -treating with friends. gier Do not enter a strangers car for the promise of candy. ,' Don't eat vnwrapped candy or treats vntit an advtt has examined them at home. gier Carry a flashlight and wear tight -colored clothing, and/or hang glow sticks off yovr clothes as part of yovr costvme. gier Trick or treat in yovr neighborhood — don't go too far from home. gier Don't wear masks that block yovr vision — try vying face paint instead. gier Walk on the sidewalk — stay ovt of streets! gier Always cross streets at the corner and watch ovt for cars.

Extra stressors like unstable income, transitional housing, or lack of family nearby make being a parent isolating and overwhelming. For over 20 years, APPLE Parenting — which stands for A Positive Parenting Learn- ing Experience — has provided support and information to make parenting less stressful and more fun. Offered without cost to parents with young children, these classes are taking place for the last time this fall in Tukwila. APPLE Parenting — for families with children from birth through age 8 — offers day and evening classes on Thursday evenings and Friday mornings. The cur- riculum includes support and information about discipline, child development and helping children and parents handle stress and anger. Free childcare for children under nine allows parents to focus on parenting skills while the children enjoy a high quality children's program. Baby and Me — serves parents and children under 18 months in a child -friendly space — meets on Thursdays from 11:OOalvl to 1:OOPM. Parents can meet other parents, play with their babies, and find answers to those questions that all parents wonder about. A music/story time allows moms and babies to have fun together and learn some new songs and stories. The curriculum includes child develop- ment, beginning discipline, stress management, early literacy, and other topics brought up as important to the group. Sponsored by South Seattle Community College, these classes are held at Church by the Side of the Road on International Boulevard (Highway 99). Facilitators for the classes come from South Seattle Community College and White Center Public Health. APPLE offers interpretation in Spanish. Baby and Me is co -facilitated by a bilingual public health nurse. To sign up for an APPLE or Baby and Me class, call Diane at 206-764-5801 or Rosa (Spanish phone line) at 206-764-5801 ext. 2. International Foster Care Opportunity We invite you to consider making an impact in a refugee child's life. Attend the monthly Lutheran Community Services Refugee and Immigrant Children's Pro- gram Info Night to learn about welcoming an international child to your home by providing long-term foster care. A social worker is assigned to provide ongoing support to the child and parents, and a monthly stipend is provided to cover the child's expenses and full medical and dental coverage for the child. Free trainings are available to foster parents, as well as culturally appropriate resources. We've resettled children from countries all around the world. Many times we have to decline acceptance, because we just don't have enough families Individuals offering volunteer time as tutors or interpreters are also welcome to attend. Lutheran Community Services serves families and children of all racial, economic or religious backgrounds. We welcome all interested families! Contact Denise Montoya at 206-694-5780 or dmontoya@lcsnw.org to find out more about becoming a foster parent, providing respite, tutoring or interpreting. Join us on Monday, October 6, from 6:00-8:OOPm in our offices at 433 Minor Avenue North in Seattle. Language interpreters are available upon request.

Before You Leave • Stop your newspaper subscription while you're away. • Use electronic tickets whenever possible for travel. They generate less waste and cost less to replace. • To improve fuel efficiency, prevent pollution, and save money on a road trip, be sure your vehicle is "road - ready" – the engine properly tuned and tires properly inflated. If you change your own motor oil, be sure to recycle it at any "quick lube" shop, gas station, or auto parts store that accepts used oil for recycling. • Consider booking your hotel room, campsite, or meeting location with- in walking distance – or easily ac- cessible to public transportation – of planned outings. Hotel Tips Try booking your trip with a hotel that has waste -reduction and energy -con- servation plans. Try these easy things to help hotels reduce waste. • Participate in the hotel's recycling and waste reduction program. If they don't have a recycling program, ask them to start one. • Out of your room? Turn off lights, TV, computer and other electric de- vices, and adjust the air conditioner and the heat to use less energy. • Opt to have the hotel not change your sheets and towels every day. • Take home your partially used sham- poo, soap, and other complimentary hotel items; leave unopened items in the room. • Draw curtains to keep heat in the room on cold days, and keep heat out of the room on hot days. • Use the hotel's electronic check-out program to reduce paper waste. Sightseeing, Outings, Dining Dining brochures, food and packaging account for most of a traveler's trash. By taking some simple steps, you can eliminate or reduce this kind of waste and other types of pollution. • Plan sightseeing activities carefully. Use public transportation or the ho- tel van, or walk, bike or rideshare as much as possible. • Cut down on the travel brochures you pick up on the road. Most of this information is available online. • Dine at "eat -in" restaurants and ho- tel dining rooms whenever possible to decrease the number of dispos- able items associated with meals. • When "carry -out" dining, try skip- ping a straw altogether or declining a bag when it's not needed. Wash and reuse "disposable" utensils at the next take-out restaurant stop. • Picnic using reusable plates and flat- ware. • After picnics and other outings, dis- pose of all waste in trash receptacles to prevent debris—especially plas- tic—from fouling the land or the water, or harming wildlife. For more information, contact Recycling Coordinator Rebecca Fox at 206-431-3683, or send an email to rfox@ci.tukwila.wa.us Crocs recycled and reborn If you have a worn-out or outgrown pair of Crocs – the distinctive plastic clogs with holes on the top – you can give them a second life through Crocs' "SolesUnited" program. SolesUnited takes the old Crocs, sorts them, grinds them up, and turns them into new shoes, which are packed into large ship- ping containers and sent to non-profit organizations in developing countries. For how-to-recycle-Crocs information, go online to www.SolesUnited.com.

Domestic Violence is a continuing problem for many families in South King Coun- ty. It is referred to by many names — spousal abuse, family violence, intimate partner violence — but the ultimate aim of all forms of domestic violence is the same. It is a pattern of behaviors used by one person in a relationship to coercively control the other. Power and control can be maintained using physical, sexual and emotional violence. There is growing concern about the effects that experienc- ing domestic violence may have on children. Children who experience domestic violence may develop problems with conflict resolution, self-esteem, trauma reac- tions and withdrawal.
