n. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Fleet Transportation Costs
As an information only item, staff made a presentation on the City's Fleet Services including fuel, rental
equipment and vehicle operations and maintenance. Public Works staff has implemented a tracking system
which allows for the monitoring and analysis of employee time and budget costs associated with the City's
fleet inventory. Data entry into this system began on January 1, 2005, and proper analysis will assist in
predicting future budget needs and anticipated cost increases as well as requirements for maintaining current
service levels.
Highlights of the presentation included: fuel consumption history, departmental breakdown of fleet budget
and fuel consumption, cost impacts of accidents, manpower distribution and preventative maintenance.
INFORMATION ONLY.
B. Extensions of Street Vacations for the Sound Transit Link Light Rail Proiect
Staff is seeking full Council adoption of two ordinances which will extend the time allowed for the street
vacations of the following locations: 35th A venue South and 48th Avenue South. If approved, the ordinances
will be extended an additional six months, expiring October 31, 2008.
The street vacations were agreed upon between the City and Sound Transit as part of the Link Light Rail
project. Last year, Sound Transit requested a one year extension of the street vacations (see Finance and
Safety Committee minutes dated May 14, 2007) which was granted and will expire on April 30, 2008.
Originally, seven street vacations were requested; one has been completed and recorded, a time extension is
being requested for the two mentioned above, and the remaining five will not be completed do to an
inability to meet the street vacation conditions and provisions. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD
TO MAY 12 COW.
