WINTER PROGRAM 1985
Dear Citizens:
1984 has been a good year for the City and I hope the same can be said for all our citizens
and their families.
While many of you are spending your evenings preparing for the holidays, the council and
I are at City Hall working on the 1985 city budget.
The yearly budget, as proposed by the Mayor and passed by the City Council, is the one
most important document of the City. The budget, as proposed, has given careful considera-
tion to Council Budget Guidelines. We also considered input from the staff, but most im-
portantly, we have listened to the various needs expressed by our taxpayers over this past
year.
I would like to provide you with a statement from my General Operating Philosophy and
Procedures which guides the executive budget formulation process. "Taxpayers are the
most important people to enter the office, in person, by mail, or by telephone. Taxpayers are
not dependent upon us; on the contrary, we are dependent upon them. Taxpayers are not an
interruption of our work; they are the purpose of it. Our work begins and ends with the tax-
payers of Tukwila and is measured by how well we serve them."
In addition to our regular mission of maintaining and improving cost effective City ser-
vices, there are two major underlying themes presented in the 1985 proposed budget.
1. The pursuit of excellence in Tukwila City government;
2. The preservation and promotion of sound growth and development in the City.
The proposed budget provides the resources we need to effectively and efficiently carry
out our responsibilities as local officials and staff to provide the excellence in local govern-
ment service which our taxpayers deserve.
The local economy has been good to the City. Our tax base has kept strong, allowing us to
address most of our critical infrastructure and service needs.
The operation of the City requires continued scrutinity by all citizens and taxpayers. I peti-
tion each and every one of you to become involved and help us make Tukwila the best of all
possible City's.
In closing, I and all the staff in the City wish everyone the best in Holiday Spirit and a pro-
sperous and Happy New Year.
Mayor Gary Van Dusen
TIMELY TIPS FOR THE HOLIDAYS
By Pat Lowery
For most of us this is the time of year when we plan,
buy and exchange gifts with friends and loved ones. Un-
fortunately there are some members of our society who
also plan; plan to take advantage of this holiday spirit
and deprive you of the joy of the most happy season.
So while we look upon this as a time of exchanging
gifts and greetings, to some it is a time of exploiting and
taking. I am referring to the thief, the burglar, the car
prowler and the con artist, to name a few. With these
somber thoughts in mind; here are a few timely tips for
the holidays:
1. DON'T carry large sums of cash on your person.
Carry only the cash you anticipate needing to complete
your shopping. If you must carry a large sum of cash
divide it between several pockets and your wallet or
purse.
2. DON'T carry excess credit cards. Carry only those
cards for the stores you intend to shop in.
3. DON'T carry your purse dangling from your arm.
Place one end of the purse in the palm of your hand, the
other in the bend of the elbow. Hold it close to your
body.
4. DON'T place packages or other purchases in the
rear viewable area of your vehicle. Place all packages
and other items in the trunk and make sure the trunk is
locked. It is good security practice to move the vehicle
to another area after storing purchases. Car prowlers
often follow a heavily laden shopper to his/her vehicle
and when they return to finish their shopping the pro-
wler takes advantage of their absence to force vehicle
door or trunk. Try to complete all your shopping in one
trip.
5. Certain confidence games increase during this time
of year ... bargains such as expensive perfumes, wat-
ches, other jewelry at a fraction of the real cost are
notorious frauds during the Holiday Season.
OBSERVE THESE TIPS AND YOU WILL NOT ONLY
MAKE LIFE A LITTLE MORE DIFFICULT FOR THE
THIEVES IN OUR SOCIETY BUT WILL SURELY ENJOY A
HAPPIER HOLIDAY YOURSELF BY NOT BECOMING A
CRIME VICTIM.

Club who planted and maintained the lovely flower bed

and appreciates the many hours of community service
rendered by our area's wonderful civic groups.
*** COME JOIN THE FUN ***

FIRE WOOD AVAILABLE
Occasionally the City finds it necessary to remove a tree
from one of the parks or cut up fallen branches from the
right-of-way. This wood is cut into pieces, convenient
for handling, and stored at the City Shop to be offered to
our Citizens.
We are now compiling a new list of people who would be
interested in picking up the wood for their home use.
Please send your request in writing to the Tukwila
Maintenance Shop, 600 Minkler Blvd., Tukwila, Wa.
98188. Your request will be placed on a list in the order
of arrival and you will be notified if wood does become
available.
Mayor Gary VanDusen presents a Resolution of Appreciation
from the Tukwila City Council to Mrs. Marjorie Wickham,
representing Pacific Northwest Bell, for donating a used van to
the Tukwila Police Explorers. Explorer Post Chief Ken Duncan
(far right) and Explorer Advisor Sgt. Dean Shirey stand by to ac-
cept the keys to the van.
LEARN NOT TO BURN
BY DOUG GIBBS
The legendary Don Quixote dreamed the impossible
dream and fought the unbeatable foe. Like old Don, Fire
Prevention personnel face the frustrating task of trying
to sell the unsellable — namely Fire Prevention. Com-
placency, indifference, animosity and lack of technical
knowledge are a few of the human traits which present
barriers to the "sale" of sound Fire Prevention
measures. Perhaps the classic reply statistics say that
each place of business and each household, for that
matter, will experience a fire of some consequence dur-
ing each generation. Until the people of the United
States take Fire Prevention seriously, many of them will
die or be seriously injured each year in fires.
Did you know that 71% of commercial operations closed
by a fire will fail within 3 years after the fire. That's right,
only 29 out of 100 on an average will survive a fire
economically. Oh, you say that you practice fire safety
in your store. That's good, but does the store or
business next to you — because if they have a fire, the
smoke, heat and water damage may extend into YOUR
store. While YOUR store is closed for repair due to HIS
FIRE, where will your customers go? They will go
elsewhere to get the services they need, and many of
them may not come back — if and when you re -open.
So, Fire Prevention must be on more than just a per-
sonal level; it must involve your neighbors and the
whole community. Only then can we all "Learn Not to
Burn."
SMOKE DETECTORS SAVE LIVES
In cooperation with the South Center Pay'n Save store,
the newly formed Tukwila Fire Explorers and the Tuk-
wila Fire Prevention Bureau, the City will offer a new
service to its senior citizens. If you are a senior citizen
who has a smoke detector that needs to have its bat-
teries replaced or you have purchased a new smoke
detector that needs installing — call us at 575-4407 bet-
ween 8:00 am and 8:00 pm to schedule an appointment.
We will make sure that it gets done for you... at no
cost.
FIRE EXPLORERS WANTED
The Tukwila Fire Department is currently accepting ap-
plications from young adults (age 14-20), male and
female, for membership in the Fire Explorer Post. Any
young adult that is interested in the Emergency Medical
and Fire Service as a career may join. To find out more
contact Firefighter Craig Byron at the Tukwila Fire
Department Headquarters (575-4404).
City management employees gathered at the Fire Station
Training Room on selected days this past year fora five -lesson
training series geared to improve upon the effectiveness and
efficiency of the City Administration. This year's sessions con-
centrated on basic supervision and management, leadership
and performance, interpersonal communications, understan-
ding differing value and generational differences, and develop-
ing and motivating people.
CRESTVIEW PARK PLANNED
During these winter months the final touches for the
design of Crestview Park at 53rd Ave. So. and So. 158th
St. will be completed. Phase 1 construction will occur
this spring and summer for this three acre parcel. Phase
2 involves the development of eight acres and is plann-
ed to be constructed in two or three years.
Helping to design Phase 1 is the firm of CH2M Hill.
Their Project Manager, Carl Stixrood, was employed by
the city in 1978 during which time he worked with the
local residents and Park Commission to prepare a
preliminary plan. This fall the plan was finalized and on
November 27th a public meeting was held with Crest-
view residents invited to comment on the proposed
design. Eighteen local residents attended and were
generally pleased with the proposed plans.
The main features of the park will include picnic
tables located in the wooded areas, lighted tennis
court, lighted multipurpose sport court, trails and a 12
stall parking area. A small open grass area will be
located next to the children's play equipment. Street
and trail lights will help provide security. Access to the
park will be from 53rd Ave. So. to So. 158th St. or by
stairs starting at 51st Ave. So. and So. 160th St. which
will lead to the parking area.
Funding for the park, sidewalks, stairs, and street
lighting will be in the 1985 City Budget, which will ap-
propriate approximately $205,000. Bidding for the pro-
ject will occur in February, 1985. The State's Interagen-
cy For Outdoor Recreation has awarded a grant totaling
$51,380 to help fund the project.
For additional information review plans, or to make
suggestions please call Don Williams at the City Hall,
433-1843.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Volunteers are the backbone of the Committee System
in Tukwila and are a vital part of its operation in several
areas — Arts, Parks, Planning, Civil Service, Board of
Adjustment, Sister City, etc.
At the present time there are 2 openings on the Park
Commission. The Commission serves in an advisory
capacity and submits recommendations to the City
Council on acquisition, development, expansion and
operation of parks and recreation facilities. The Com-
mission recommends the types of recreational pro-
grams they wish to see implemented.
Please call City Hall, 433-1800, and volunteer, not just for
the Park Commission, but for a Commission that is
within yourfield of interest.
WE NEED YOU!!!
WE SHALL HAVE MUSIC
This Christmas season participants of the Tukwila
Community Center's Senior Citizens Program will enjoy
music played on their own piano.
Pictured is only a sample of the seniors who con-
tributed to the purchase of the piano. Individuals and
members of the Co-Tuk Boutique, Senior Ceramics, and
Busy Fingers and participants of the Wednesday and
Thursday programs donated money, sold crafts and
held bake sales to support this much wanted items
Members of the Tukwila City Council formally ac-
cepted the donation at their August 6 council meeting
and publicly thanked the seniors who attended the
meeting and all those who participated in the acquisi-
tion.
In addition, the staff at the Tukwila Community
Center, appreciate having the piano and look forward to
many years of music at the Center.
AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION
While you are preparing for the cold weather, don't
forget your water pipes and faucets.
The Water Department has put shavings in your meter
box to help insulate your meter from freezing. However,
this won't stop your pipes from freezing.
The following is a list of some things that can help keep
your pipes from freezing:
Keep your heat on to keep some heat in the
building. This is especially important if your house
or place of business will not be occupied. Cold
warehouses are a common place where overhead
fire sprinkler lines freeze and break. This causes
thousands of dollars damage, not only to the fire
sprinkler system, but to the contents of the
building.
Let a faucet run water at a rapid drip. This will keep
water running through the pipe. (Moving water
takes longer to freeze.) If a rapid drip slows down,
turn the faucet on for a minute then back off again
to the rapid drip.
Wrap or drain all outside faucets, sprinkler
systems and/or piping.
The first few days after a cold spell the ground will
remain frozen, in fact, the warm air will actually
push the freeze deeper into the ground. This is
the critical time when your pipes might freeze and
break.
A few dollars spent for prevention is Tess costly
than high repair bills.
NEW FOSTER BRIDGE TO BE BID
The City of Tukwila and King County have advertised for
the construction of the new Foster Bridge to replace the
old 56th Avenue Bridge. The bids were opened by King
County on December 20, 1984. The new bridge is
scheduled for completion in late 1985. This long awaited
event will certainly be the cause for great celebration to
the residents of Foster Point.
NEW GRADY WAY BRIDGE UNDER CON-
STRUCTION
The reconstruction of the Grady Way Bridge to a new
four -lane concrete bridge has been awarded to the
Ross Brothers Construction Company of Salem,
Oregon. The contractor has been constructing the ap-
proach embankments, the underground utilities and the
bridge peers. The construction to date is approximately
six weeks behind schedule with the final completion
date now estimated during the first quarter of 1986.
SEWER AND WATER PROJECTS UNDER
DESIGN
The City has awarded design contracts for several major
utility projects. A large water transmission pipeline from
the Southcenter area to the North Hill, the initial study
for a reservoir and pressure pump on the recently ac-
quired reservoir site property on South 57th Avenue;
and the investigation for a potential water supply from a
well on the Valley floor has been awarded to the firm of
CH2M Hill, Bellevue, Washington.
The reconstruction and expansion of Lift Station #2 in
the Southcenter Industrial area at Andover Park West
and Minkler has been awarded to the R.W. Beck Com-
pany of Seattle.

TUKWILA PARKS COMMISSION HELPS
EVERYONE
Like the advertisement use to say for the U of W,
"You're getting something from them whether you
know it or not." This is also true for our community from
the Tukwila Parks Commission.
The Commission meets the first Wednesday of each
month to review recreation services, park planning,
park and community center rental use, fees and to pro-
vide advice and guidance to the Park and Recreation
Department, Mayor and City Council. The five volunteer
members meet at the Tukwila Community Center at 7:00
p.m. The meetings are open to the public and citizens
are encouraged to attend.
Presently there are two vacancies on the five member
Commission. Members must be residents of the City,
there are no other requirements. To serve on the Park
Commission the Mayor nominates individuals and the
City Council must confirm appointments. If you are in-
terested in serving or know of a person who may want to
serve contact Mayor Gary L. Van Dusen at the City Hall,
433-1805.
