June 18, 2018 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES AUDIENCE COMMENTS  Shannon Richards, Renton, voiced concern regarding Henry Moses Aquatic Center's session time changing from 4 - 7 p.m to 3 - 6:30 p.m. She stated that the new hours cuts down the total amount of time working parents can spend with their families at the center. Ms. Richards also remarked that the aquatic center is one of the few places her son with special needs feels truly welcomed. She urged Council to consider changing the session time back to its old time. Mayor Law indicated that the administration would review the recent time change.  Craig Keppler, Seattle, advocated for Council's approval of his company's request for a Multi-Family Tax Exemption for 12 years at the 80% AMI level for the Via 405 project.
