Paul Berry and Annie Dukes, West Hills Unincorporated Governance Task Force members, appeared in
connection with previously submitted written comments to Council. Task Force members (from the Skyway
neighborhood) are contacting City Council members of Seattle, Renton and Tukwila to inform them of
considerations to incorporate or annex into one of the nearby cities.
Although similar attempts were made in 1989, no incorporation or annexation took place. Mr. Berry noted a
breakdown in communication at that time led to non action. Ms. Dukes spoke favorably of Skyway's "small
town feel, lake views, and housing." With approximately 14,000 residents, Ms. Dukes said they are able to
offer City of Tukwila residents benefits of annexation.
City of Tukwila Page 3 of 8
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes February 7, 2005
Both Task Force members asked to receive information when necessary and promised to inform
Councilmembers of upcoming Task Force meetings. All were invited to attend.
A major topic of conversation by and for the Council, Mayor Mullet noted one major concern of a freeway
separating the service areas if the Skyway neighborhood were to be annexed into Tukwila.
Council debated various appropriate /preferred venues to discuss the issue. In the end, consensus existed to
forward the item to the February 15, 2005 Community Affairs and Parks Committee.
Frank Goroa, 5708 South 144 Street, Tukwila. was present to ask about current digging efforts by Puget
Sound Energy (PSE) on South 144 Street. Out of concern for his family and neighbors, he noted digging
began approximately 9 days ago, at 2:30 in the morning.
Jim Morrow, Public Works Director, informed Council and Mr. Gorog that PSE received word of a "smell of
[natural] gas" and was asked to investigate. Upon arrival to the scene, PSE officials confirmed the smell,
began digging, found a leak in the line and noted replacement is necessary to portions of the line.
Mr. Gorog noted he was never informed as to what was going on and has been inconvenienced by the digging.
Mr. Morrow noted the work began at an inconvenient hour, yet was the result of a true emergent need.
Pipework between 53 and 57 will be replaced.
Joanne McManus. 5610 South 133 Street. Tukwila, spoke as a Neighborhood Resource Center
representative. Noting many people walk the highway and with the City's presence (the NRC) on the highway,
people are aware of the NRC and may even stop if they're having medical emergencies such as a heart attack.
For that reason, she is in favor of the City placing a defibrillating unit at the NRC. Additionally, she volunteered
to receive related training to use the equipment.
Councilmember Robertson spoke in favor of Ms. McManus (or any of the NRC volunteers) taking the training.
He attended such training at the Tukwila Fire Station and noted its value. There are other, related training
sessions offered there as well. Mr. Robertson noted City volunteers should be afforded the opportunity to
attend such training events.
Mayor Mullet noted City Administration would look into the request and reminded Ms. McManus to dial
9 -1 -1 in the event of need.
Vanessa Zaoutil, 15171 52 Avenue South. #5, Tukwila. provided Council with an update on progress
between her husband, herself, and Sound Transit relative to the Sound Transit work staging area on 52"
Avenue South. Many of the initial requests for improvement (made by the Zaputils) have been addressed by
Sound Transit staff.
The area in question and the cause for greatest concern is "the staging site on 52 Avenue South and
Southcenter Boulevard." To be used for various Sound Transit construction activities throughout Tukwila, until
approximately 2009, the Zaputil's are concerned with two issues not yet resolved. First, "unsightliness of the
staging area." As a possible solution, Ms. Zaputil suggested screening the area. And, second, the need of
"reducing impacts to 52 Avenue South, by relocating the site ingress /egress to Southcenter Boulevard." This,
she stated, would be a safer place (moving them further from the
I -5 /Southcenter Boulevard offramp. Relocating the entrance would also, in her opinion, reduce wear and tear
on 52 Avenue South. Currently, she reported the entrance on 52 Avenue South is not adequate for the size
and length of vehicles /equipment using the site.
The appearance of the entrance to this community will appear in a state of disrepair for many years.
Prospective tenants to the Zaputil's townhouse (rental) units have chosen not to rent for that reason. Ms.
Zaputil stated her desire that the "City can do something to mitigate the appearance of the site." Further, she
spoke in favor of the City being proactive now in enforcing the existing Transit Way Agreement.
In speaking with the contractor for the project, the Zaputil's have learned he would indeed like the entrance
changed.

HERNANDEZ MOVED; ROBERTSON SECONDED; TO AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO SIGN THE 2005
SERVICE CONTRACT WITH THE SOUTH WEST KING COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, IN THE
AMOUNT OF $20,000.00.*
Discussion:
Ms. Hernandez noted approval of the contract at a recent Finance and Safety Committee meeting. Further, she
spoke highly of Nancy Damon, Director of the Chamber of Commerce. Citing attendance to many meetings on
behalf of the City and much direct involvement in the community, Ms. Hernandez stated Ms. Damon represents
the City well.
*Vote: The motion carried 7 -0.
b. Allentown /Foster Point water and sewer improvement proiect cost saving measures
Jim Morrow, Public Works Director, reminded Council this project was previously bid and resulted in the receipt
of six bids all of which came in over budget. Council formally rejected those bids on November 15, 2004.
City staff and their consultants have reviewed the plans, specifications and new Geotechnical Engineering
study (soils). Based upon that review, the project will be revised, redesigned and re -bid. With all suggested
edits to the bid package, a cost savings of approximately $900,000.00 may be realized. One item to be
eliminated from the bid package is the formerly planned sidewalk in Foster Point, yet it will appear as an
additive.
Savings are dependent upon bidding climate and current workload of bidders. Further, the savings are
conservative and could be greater if the contractors aggressively bid the project.
Answering Council inquiries, Mr. Morrow noted a sanitary sewer line at the base of, and water line upgrades to
Poverty Hill would be listed on the bid as an "additive item." Based on bid pricing, they may be done. If not, the
City may need to wait until 2006 or 2007 to do the work with City Council approval. The same holds true for
re- adding the work of installing sidewalks, curbs and gutters in Foster Point. A factor in that consideration,
however, is those projects do not currently appear within the C.I.P.
Council debated the issues and took citizen comment. Ms. Carter reminded Council that Public Works Trust
Fund monies were secured (in 2004) to complete this project. Mr. Morrow reiterated that neither the enterprise
funds nor the General Fund could support completion of a project of this size.
If the project is bid right away, staff will be able to begin construction during this construction season (perhaps
as early as June).
Todd Heisteman. property owner. Foster Point neighborhood. reported being involved in a short-plat
subdivision in his area where he has secured grant monies ($80,000.00 approximate) to purchase a waterfront
portion of his property. He would like to develop that site (in the future) as a community park. The grant monies
came, of course, with conditions. Mr. Heisteman is concerned with being able to keep the money, yet noted he
cannot "technically" short plat his property without sewers actually being "stubbed out." For that reason, he's
been reluctant with proceeding with the short plat plans as there is a statute of limitations which may /may not
City of Tukwila Page 5 of 8
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes February 7, 2005
be able to be extended to complete the work. Thus, he is in "limbo" and cannot move on his project, based on
the issue at hand.
Additionally, Mr. Heisteman spoke in favor of sidewalks, curbs and gutters in the neighborhood and wants to
know how the City is able to just delete them from the bid documents. He sees this as the City not abiding by
its own rules within the Tukwila Municipal Code. In response, Mr. Morrow informed everyone that this is not a
road improvement project where those requested items are required. Rather, it is a sewer installation project
and no one is required (according to the TMC) to install the questioned components.
HERNANDEZ MOVED; LINDER SECONDED; TO MOVE FORWARD AND IMMEDIATELY PUT THE
PROJECT BACK OUT TO BID. The motion carried 7 -0.
Joanne McManus. 5610 South 133 Street. Tukwila. could not "care less" if there is not a sidewalk, yet does
want a "steady, straight walking place," on the road which is directly in front of her home.
c. Southcenter Parkway extension and South 178 Street realignment. Authorize the
appropriation of $500,000.00 from the ending fund balance for additional design of the
Tukwila Valley South project (supplement to David Evans' contract #04 -025).
Councilmember Haggerton reported review of this item at the January 24, 2005 Transportation Committee
meeting. Additional funding in the amount of approximately $500,000.00 is required to complete the design of
Southcenter Parkway Extension from South 180 Street to South 200 Street and to design South 178 Street
realignment. No consensus existed at the Committee level with regard to this project as much more
information was anticipated after that meeting.
Jim Morrow, Public Works Director, reported a February 2, 2005 presentation by La Pianta, where it was
emphasized they were requesting a "completion date of July 1, 2007 for the complete construction of
Southcenter Parkway extension, from South 180 to South 200 That would include not only the road, but the
surface water system and the sewer system as well. In addition to that, they did present to the Council how the
realignment of South 178 is critical to the success of their project, so that would also fall within the same
parameter."
Before that July 1, 2007 date, Mr. Morrow reported it will be an extremely tight timeline and the City needs two
full construction seasons to complete "a lot of work in very difficult conditions." To that end, staff must have (in
front of Council) a construction contract no later than January 1, 2006, leaving just 10.5 months to finish the
design, to advertise the project, and award it for construction. Construction must begin no later than March or
April, 2006.
Staff has spoken with David Evans officials who report they are able to meet the deadline if the City proceeds
in a very timely manner. We could have plans and specifications in our hands by late November, 2005.
Council debate ensued:
Issues of the proposed schedule, timing, budgets (or a lack thereof), other currently existing projects being
worked by staff, the need for additional financial analysis, and information relative to sewer and surface water
systems (gravity flow vs. pump stations) arose and were discussed at length.
Councilmember Robertson spoke in favor of delaying the decision on this issue for one week to either receive
additional information, absorb that which they already have and to allow for Council discussion on the related
policy issues.
Ms. Carter noted approval of this contract amendment is a separate issue from agreeing to pay for construction
of the roads. This amendment is for design services only (roadway from southern city limits to South 200
Street and the surface water system). Proper planning and good timing will allow the City to determine a way
for both entities to arrive at a mutually agreed upon way of paying for future construction costs and determining
whether or not we should change the 178 Street alignment.
Mr. Morrow reported La Pianta has presented a very good geotechnical report. David Evans and Associates
will not be asked to duplicate that work. What La Pianta has presented is a proposed profile for both sewer and
surface water. Staff is reviewing that profile to determine whether or not the design criteria (used by the City) is
being met. He will make such a decision as to what type of sewer system concept David Evans will put into the
City of Tukwila Page 6 of 8
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes February 7, 2005
final design mode, as well as the surface water system. Thus, those plans and specifications can be put out
onto the street" for construction.
Multiple times it was reiterated this contract supplement is for design services only. Monies used would not be
used to duplicate anything already given to the City by the applicant, La Pianta. This is all brand new, final
design work. It takes a concept and puts it into final plans and specifications that can be used by a contractor.
We have not decided upon materials, the final depths, where connections will be made, potential elevations,
etc.
Sue Carlson. Seaale Properties. reported her company has spent upwards of $400,000.00 on engineering
designs which the City could accept (or not), performed by Goldsmith and Associates. If the City chooses to
accept the design as proposed, there is additional information that may be provided which could reduce the
cost of this contract. This information was "offered up as a resource." It is Goldsmith and Associates who
states they are approximately $110,000.00 away from "complete design of the road, the sewer, the stormwater"
(from the City limits to 200"' Street). She noted much information has already been received by Mr. Morrow
and staff and that he must decide what he wants the utilities to be like for the City.
Councilmember Fenton spoke of a partnership between the City and La Pianta and called it "pivotal" to get
information to the Public Works Department for examination. He spoke of the need for both entities to work
together in order to make this project work.
Mr. Morrow offered rebuttal comments and noted La Pianta does have a proposal put forth for both a sewer
system and a surface water system. Mr. Morrow has very serious reservations as to whether or not those
systems will work. A gravity sewer system does not provide the cleansing velocities necessary; i.e., when the
materials enter the public system, it doesn't move. Therefore, the City would have to provide (at least twice per
month) a complete flushing of the sewer line in order to prevent problems. Another alternative, involving a lift
station, is being discussed with the applicant. They have agreed with that proposal and the City is moving
forward with it.
As it relates to surface water, the City is working with the applicant on basic information needed to make a final
decision on how the system "should look." In both cases, however, if we were to accept the applicant's
proposal, the City would be accepting risks Mr. Morrow could not endorse.
