AUGUST 1979
MAYOR'S REPORT
As we conclude the first half of 1979, it is time to reflect
on some of the accomplishments experienced by the City
in the last six months and some of the issues and concerns
facing us during the remainder of the year.
ITEM: Interurban Avenue turnback to the City by special
action of the State Legislature at my request. This now
gives the City of Tukwila ownership of Interurban Avenue
within the City borders. I have recommended to the Coun-
cil the installation of a traffic light at 58th Ave. South and
Interurban. They have approved and engineering is now
underway.
ITEM: The residential upgrading program is well under-
way and is causing some inconvenience. Be understand-
ing as the temporary inconvenience is well worth it. Some
people have requested not to have their streets improved
and the City will honor these requests.
ITEM: Metro has allocated 100,000 additional hours of
k service to the suburban areas of King County. If you
ideas of where these routes should run, please let me
ki _0/, and I'll pass them on. Your input on this matter is im-
portant, as the basis for allocation and route determina-
tions will be ridership. If no significant residential or corpo-
rate citizen interest exists, we cannot expect much im-
provement in the current Metro Bus service to our area.
ITEM: We are now engaged in the library project at the
old City Hall. Restoration and conversion should be com-
plete in the next few months, with opening scheduled in
the fall. Additionally, we are also working on having the
building added to the National Register of Historical Pla-
ces. The hearing for this addition will be held on August
24th in Olympia.
ITEM: Southgate Community Center has been open and
operational now for one year. Parking lot improvements
have been substantially completed utilizing $25,000 in
King County Community Block Grant funds. These improve-
ments will facilitate the growing participation of the many
fine recreational programs at the center.
ITEM: Sister Cities affiliation with the City of Ikawa-Cho,
Japan, is nearing reality. In September the City will enter-
tain a delegation from Ikawa headed by Mayor Akira So-
gabe. At that time each City will trade resolutions formaliz-
ing Sister Cities affiliation. Citizen's groups and civic organi-
zations are encouraged to contact my office if they are
interested in participating in this most worthwhile and cul-
turally enriching union between cities of different nations.
As Mayor, I look forward to the remaining months of
1979, certain that significant accomplishments can be
achieved with the many on-going programs and projects
within the City. I remind all of Tukwila's citizens, both resi-
dential and corporate, that I welcome hearing your com-
ments, suggestions and concerns. Stop by my office at
City Hall or telephone my office at 433-1805.

Deanna Adair
In a society where the majority of people "don't want
to get involved," Tukwila is very fortunate, our citizens are
eager to participate. Tukwila is served by nine separate
c' mmissions, boards, and committees.
iL SERVICE COMMISSION
The Civil Service Commission enforces the rules and reg-
ulations for the hiring and promotion of police and fire
personnel. They regulate examinations, appointments,
promotions, transfers, reinstatements, demotions, suspen-
sions and discharges within the departments. Serving on
the Civil Service Commission are Steven Phelps, Chair-
man, Anna Bernhard and Elanor McLester. The meetings
are held the second Wednesday of each month at City
Hall, 7:00 p.m.
PLANNING COMMISSION
The Planning Commission serves primarily in an advisory
capacity to the city legislative body, making recommen-
dations on subdivisions, rezones, and land use related
plans and ordinances. In addition, the Commission is
vested with the authority to make decisions on conditional
use permits and architectural/site plan reviews. The mem-
bers of the Planning Commission are Richard Kirsop, Chair-
man, John Richards, Joe Orrico, Eileen Avery, Jerry James,
Leo Sowinski and Steve Welsh. They meet on the second
and fourth Thursday of each month at 8:00 p.m. at City
Hall.

Committee of the Whole
Annexation?
Suddenly annexation to Tukwila is a popular idea ' r
some years of inactivity. The city is currently consic
five annexation petitions.
1) The Riverton area northwest of the city, east of Highway
99 and south of the Duwamish River.
2) The Segale annexation adjacent to Russell Road at the
south City boundary.
3) The Allentown area northeast of the city including the
communities of Allentown, Duwamish and Foster Point.
4) Crestview, a portion of McMicken Heights lying south
of 1-518, northeast of Military Road and north of South
168th Street.
5) The Schneider annexation that lies east of 1-5 and south
of 178th Street South.
A comparison of some of the characteristics of these
areas with Tukwila is presented below. Please note that in
each instance, the residents or owners initiated the annex-
ation action. State law, and the annexation policy of the
city, requires that we consider them.

You might reasonably ask "Why do these people want
to annex to Tukwila?" For Segale and Schneider the
son is to avail themselves of city services for develop. 0.
For Riverton, Allentown and Crestview, largely single fam-
ily residential areas, the primary reason for annexation
appears to be to obtain the benefits of local government.
Tukwila is responsive to the desires of its residents and is
accessible to them. The city council meets in the even -

ings when most interested residents c .attend, The King
County council is remote and meets in aowntown Seattle
during the days. The elected officials of Tukwila live in the
city and are familiar with local conditions and problems.
The land use and development policies of Tukwila are
th' -attuned to local desires, a major factor here. Lower
t< better police and fire protection and lower fire in-
sui -. ,ce rates for Tukwila add to the attraction. School and
water and sewer service are generally unaffected by
annexation.
There are a number of reasons why Tukwila is interested
in annexations. A larger population base would increase
the number of candidates for political office and the par-
ticipants in city boards and commissions. The balance in
our residential housing would be improved. Currently more
than 60% of our residents live in apartments or condomin-
iums. The average for all of King County is about 30% mul-
tiple family residents. The balance between the residential
and commercial land uses in the city would be improved
also. The city's future revenues would be more stable should
methods of taxation change. The city has had difficulty
justifying the request of grants because of its small popu-
lation, although its needs and problems are similar to
larger cities. Also the image and vitality would be in-
creased by the growth in population. It also lowers the
taxes of Tukwila residents by spreading the base for our
bonded indebtedness.
There are negative aspects of annexation including talk
of takeover. County residents frequently accuse city offi-
cials of wanting to "take them over," but that concern has
no basis in fact. Fear that the apartment dwellers in the
City would organize and take over the city has been
voiced. However, no issue has been identified that would
inspire such singleness of purpose in a group of individ-
uals with so little in common. The possibility of the voters of
Crestview taking over the city has been expressed. Again
n ical issue has been identified. Land use, the primary
c� ern of the Crestview petitioners, will be resolved by
adoption of zoning for Crestview prior to annexation. The
takeover comment may have been a frustrated reaction
to the inability to influence land use and other policies of
King County.
Increase in population will dilute the strength of your
vote in following elections — we get voters with the new
residents. Some dilution occurs continually as residential
construction, largely apartments and condominiums,
continues in the City.
Like the bad joke about how the mating of elephants
occurs, annexation takes place very carefully. The annex-
ation residents or owners petition, the city council accepts
the petition, the city planning commission recommends
zoning, the city council adopts zoning, the boundary re-
view board approves or revises the boundaries, the annex-
ation area residents approve the annexation by majority
vote at a public election, the city council may then ap-
prove the annexation by majority vote. As in the case of
the Riverton proposal, residents and businesses can pro-
test the action, sue for redress and delay if not stop the
process.
The annexation process is long and arduous. Only when
both parties, the city and the petitioners, conclude the
community of interests and mutual benefits outweigh the
disadvantages can the action be completed.
Ti IKWILA PUBLIC WORKS
i _PARTMENT
As the City of Tukwila grows, so do the responsibilities
and challenges of the Tukwila Public Works Department.
The sudden expansion of the City and private facilities
had led to the need for more information, more record -
3
keeping function: anning for the future and more day-
to-day response to me public in general.
To implement all these projects and plans for the City,
3 new staff members have joined the Public Works De-
partment. Phillip Fraser, Senior Engineer, manages the en-
gineering division of the Public Works Department and is
responsible for project management and public liaison
with developers, contractors and citizens. He formerly was
employed with the City of Seattle Engineering Depart-
ment and served as Project Engineer for various public
works improvements since 1969. Wes Jorgenson, a 1978
Civil Engineering graduate from the University of Wash-
ington, joined the staff as Junior Engineer. He is involved
in design and inspection of the City's projects among
many other field and office duties. The newest member of
the Tukwila Public Works Department is Janet Martinka.
Janet joined us in June as Administrative Secretary to the
Director of Public Works. She has previously worked for
the Olivetti Corp. in Seattle and the Village of Spring Lake
in Spring Lake, Michigan.
The Department, consisting of engineering and main-
tenance divisions, is administered by Terence R. Monag-
han, P.E. as Public Works Director. Terry Monaghan was
appointed to this position in February, 1978 after having
been employed by a Bellevue consulting firm for 2 years.
He holds a degree in Civil Engineering from St. Martins
College in Olympia and Professional Engineering licen-
ses in the States of Washington and New York.
All of us in the Public Works Department are aware of
our continual obligations to inform the public of the many
projects and the people involved in them and to assist
the public with their needs and requests. The services
provided are an integral part of our citizens' everyday
lives. How? We improve and maintain the City streets,
water system and sewer system, parks and public build-
ings. We attend to the daily needs and plan the future fa-
cilities. We make every effortto makethe City a safe, heal-
thy and comfortable place to live and work. Service is
our goal and progress is our most important project.
PUBLIC WORKS
PROJECT UPDATE
The Public Works Department has had no time for sum-
mer vacations so far this year. In addition to the small pro-
jects and daily events of the City and the major develop-
ments of the business community, several priority projects
budgeted for 1979 are underway.
The Street Improvement Project on 56th Avenue South
between South 142nd Street and South 147th Street and
on South 147th Street between 56th Avenue South and
57th Avenue South is now fully into construction. While
residents there patiently tolerate the dust, mud and inter-
rupted utility services from time to time, the City is confi-
dent it will deliver a safer and more attractive street in-
cluding sidewalks and storm water drainage. Construc-
tion is scheduled to be completed by the end of July.
Plans and specifications for the 1979 Street Improve-
ment Project are ready for bid and the residents along
57th Avenue South between South 147th Street and South
149th Street and along South 147th Street between 57th
Avenue South and 58th Avenue South have been invited
to review the final plans. The project includes sidewalks,
storm drainage, curbs and gutters, rockeries and street
paving. Bids will be received in mid-July and construc-
tion will likely begin mid-August and be completed by
the end of October.
LID 29 and the extended street improvement project in
the vicinity of 62nd Avenue South, South 153rd Street and
64th Avenue South are also schedule ,or construction
this summer. Neighborhood meetings have been held to
provide an opportunity to the property owners to partici-
pate in the design phase.
The Public Works Department staff and Entraco Engin-
eers, consultants to the City, are involved in a critical and
timely study of the City's traffic and transportation needs.
A report is being compiled to recommend solutions to
our immediate problems both in the residential and com-
mercial/industrial communities of the City. More impor-
tantly, long-range goals and plans will be developed to
cope with the City's rapid and extensive growth. The
study will consider street improvement needs and de-
signs, parking requirements, mass transit feasibility and
pedestrian facilities as well as administrative guidelines.
We hope this study will provide the information necessary
to create facilities to aid vehicles and pedestrians within
and through the City of Tukwila.

CRIME
WATCH
NEW ALARM ORDINANCE Pat Lowery
On July 16, '1979 a new alarm ordinance, Ordinance
Number 1117, will go into effect. This ordinance is con-
cerned primarily with burglar/intrusion/robbery alarms
and will NOT prohibit or limit the utilization of fire alarm
systems.
The ordinance resulted from an ever increasing num-
ber of false alarms, 396 in 1973 to 703 in 1978. It is esti-
mated that each false alarm accounts for one hour of
non -patrol time while the officer checks the premise and
waits for the arrival of the alarm subscriber. This is time the
officer is not available to carry out his routine duties and
the rest of the community is at a loss for his services. 703
hours lost to the patrol function represents 4 months of
one officer's 12 month work schedule.
In an effort to reduce this loss, in both pay and service,
it is the intent of the City to impose a $25 fine for each
false alarm in excess of two within any one calendar
year. A study of past false alarms points out two major
causes; lack of employee training and malfunctioning
equipment. The fine should provide the incentive for em-
ployers to provide better employee training programs
and insist their alarm companies maintain the equip-
ment in good working order.
The ordinance will provide a tool that should be help-
ful in reducing the number of lost patrol hours attributed
to false alarm response. This gain in patrol time will be re-
invested in normal patrol procedures providing better
police coverage and services.
Residents presently maintaining or contemplating fu-
ture installation of an alarm system utilizing an outside
bell to warn of intrusion into their home, business or vehi-
cle should be particularly aware of the content of the
new ordinance and should refer any questions to Pat
Lowery, Crime Prevention Officer, Tukwila Police Depart-
ment, 433-1822.

TUKWILA CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE?
"What this City needs is , .." You've heard this familiar
phrase many times. Lately it has been used in conjunction
with the establishment of a Tukwila Chamber of Com-
merce. Although some interest has been expressed by
the business community in creating a Chamber of Com-
merce, currently no such entity within the City exists.
If you are a business owner or operator in Tukwila and
you are interested in the development of a Chamber of
Commerce, contact Mayor Bauch's office at City Hall by
mail or telephone, 433-1805.

FOSTER GOLF BRIDGE
REPAIRED
This spring the Tukwila Public Works Department select-
ed J.E. Collins & Company to repair the golf cart bridge
at the Tukwila owned Foster Golf Links. In May of 1978, the
City purchased the golf course and hired Golf Man-
agement Inc. to operate the course and also set aside
dollars to provide major improvements to the course and
bridge.
The Collins Company will repair or replace, according
to Entraco Engineering Consultants, much of the steel
work, replace the floor beams and relocate the cable
anchors on the west side. The entire bridge is to be re-
painted. All construction work is to be done in such a
manner that use of the bridge by golfers will not be inter-
rupted. The contract amount is S10,985.
Work began the end of May and should be com-
pleted by mid July.
