H. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Suralus of Citv owned nronerty on South 180
Staff is requesting that two properties currently owned by the City located at 7210 South 180
and 7220 South 180 be declared surplus. These properties are not being utilized by the City and
their questionable conditions make it cost prohibitive for the City to make necessary repairs for
such use. Staff recommends these properties be put up for public bid at the minimum cost for
both parcels whose common value has been appraised at $480,000. Additional information was
requested if it could be available for discussion at the Committee of the Whole meeting.
UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JUNE 11 COW.
B. Permit Application for Fireworks Disolav at Starfire Snorts Comnlex
Staff is recommending that the Fireworks Permit Application submitted by Mr. Tom Whitacre
for the fireworks display at Family 4 th at the Fort be approved. Mr. Whitacre has provided the
fireworks display for the City's annual celebration for the past several years without incident.
Staff reported that they will be working with the City of Renton's Fire Department since a
portion of the commercial property identified for the fireworks fall out area is within Renton city
limits. Additionally, staff has identified and addressed potential issues that could occur and have
developed plans in response to those. One issue of particular note is the timing of the fireworks
show in relation to the train schedule, which has been coordinated with the railroad.
UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JUNE 11 COW.
C. Adontion of the 2006 International Fire Code.
Staff detailed the recommended changes to the code, many of which were housekeeping.
Councilmember Robertson requested additional information concerning the difference in safety
of sprinklered homes compared to non sprinklered. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD
TO JUNE 11 COW.
D. Undate of Fire Service Consolidation Studv
Chief Olivas explained that the City of SeaTac is interested in a study to determine the feasibility
of our Fire Departments consolidating. The SeaTac Council will discuss this matter at its June
12 City Council meeting and probably give staff the green light to move forward. If that

happens, Tukwila will be asked to share the costs associated with such a study. At this time a
firm cost has not been determined but it is estimated that each city's share will be something in
the neighborhood of $25,000. Details regarding lead agency, steering committee members, and
the like will be determined once a decision to move forward is made by both cities.
