CITIZEN COMMENT:
Page 3 of 9
April 4. 2005
Deborah Salas. Tukwila Community Schools Collaboration (TCSC) representative and member on
the Board of Directors, thanked Council for their support of TCSC and its efforts. Throughout the past
four years, many Tukwila families have been served. To stabilize the organization and achieve
sustainability, a foundation was created one year ago.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, Ms. Salas invited any sitting Councilmember to serve on the Board.
This member would be responsible for building relations in the business and residential communities.
She distributed informational packets and a Board application. Councilmember Dennis Robertson agreed
to serve.
Katherine Law. 14937 57 Avenue South Kathy Holgarde. 14950 57 Avenue South. were
present to raise Council's awareness of a growing coyote presence in their neighborhood. Ms. Law
provided Council with a KOMO TV -4 news article (from today's news) entitled "Coyote Returns to
Eastside." After reading from the article, Ms. Law spoke of the loss of a pet chicken and cat(s) in her
neighborhood. Noting the seriousness of the situation, Ms. Law and Ms. Holgarde spoke in favor of
Council doing whatever they could to assist in the efforts to eradicate the coyotes. Both requested the
Council to consult with expert trappers and do what is possible to assist before a child is hurt. Ms.
Holgarde gratefully acknowledged a related (recent) article in The Hazelnut and suggested additional
prevention efforts (other than those listed) must be taken to keep the coyotes at bay. Knowing the need
for money exists to secure the assistance of a trapper, both ladies asked for same from the Council.
Mayor Mullet reported that although a trapper has indeed been brought in to review the situation, traps
also pose a safety risk to children. Additionally, he noted no State agency would take action on this
matter. For further discussion, the item is being referred to the City's Community Affairs and Parks
Committee.

$10,000.00 shall be spent to control speeding and increase pedestrian safety by purchasing pole
mounted speed measuring devices to monitor traffic at known problem locations. These devices show
car speeds and display that speed to the vehicle operator via digital readout. At a cost of approximately
$2,000.00 each, the Police Department anticipates the purchase of (perhaps) 5 units.
$13,740.00 shall be spent on Patrol Division Command and Control Improvements by purchasing a radio,
computer, VRM, and other necessary equipment to upgrade the operating platform for one Police
Lieutenant's vehicle. This equipment will allow the operator to monitor and communicate with other police
