Ill. Responses to Council /Citizen Inquiries Follow -up from City Council meeting of April 16, 2012 regarding process for overpayment of business licenses. Business license fees are non refundable. Overpayments received on business license and RGRL fees are refunded in May, after most renewal notices have been processed. This allows staff the time to apply overpayments and /or credits to the customer's annual renewal. While we do not typically receive requests for refunds, those requests occurring after the month of May are handled on a case by case basis. Follow -up from City Council meeting of June 11, 2012 regarding tall grass on the Tukwila Village site. In the past few years, the Public Works Department would use their heavy equipment to mow the site, and the Parks Department would use hand held equipment to trim. Public Works has not had sufficient staff available to mow the site, and options are being evaluated. Home Depot has offered to perform some voluntary community service work and is considering taking on this project. Public Works is positioning the ecology blocks to keep private vehicles from parking on the property. Follow -up from City Council meeting of June 11, 2012 regarding room rental at Tukwila Community Center as it relates to non -use of the oven. The Tukwila Community Center Rental Packet (page 5) lists those items that are not included when the kitchen is rented, to include: the white, household stove /oven, deli slicer, utensils, dishes, pots /pans, and trays. The white, household stove /oven was purchased by the now defunct Duwamish Improvement Club and was donated strictly for use in the Senior Program. It is a household stove and is not intended, nor capable of handling the heavy use that would come with rentals. This information is also provided during the tours given to potential renters.
