Mayor Mullet reported the need for a 15- minute executive session at the conclusion of this meeting to discuss issues of potential litigation, pursuant to RCW 42.30.110(1)(i). CITIZEN COMMENT /CORRESPONDENCE: Gina Bell, 12607 East Marainal Wav South. Tukwila, spoke against noise ordinance violations occurring at 12611 East Marginal Way South at all hours of the night /early morning. Her complaint focused on the honking of truck horns as they arrive and depart from the trucking yard. Shelley Kerslake, City Attorney, was made aware of this situation on April 30, 2004. She reported working with City staff to ensure Code Enforcement was able to address the issue with the owner of the trucking company. Additionally, she has learned that although the business has a license to operate, it was issued (improperly) by the City of Seattle not the City of Tukwila. That issue must also be addressed. Aaron Huntoft. 3727 South 126 Street. Tukwila, raised the same issue as Ms. Bell. Additionally, he asked the Council when they thought action may take place as he, too, would like the horns quieted. Councilmember Carter noted the revision of the City's noise ordinance approximately one year ago to ensure Code Enforcement Officers have the ability to cite if necessary. Mayor Mullet informed both community members that although he could not give them an actual date as to when the issues would be rectified, that they should be "hearing" a difference before the week is over.
