Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Baxter, that this permit be granted. Carried. The City Attorney submitted the following communication regarding R7SIDENCE REQUIM. NTS FOR CITY OlFFICIALS AND E11PLOYEyS: Request has been made for an opinion as to residence qualifications required under second-class City statu. tes for City officials and employees. The original law on this subject, applicable to second-class cities was enacted in 1907 and is Rem. Rev. Stats. Section 9104, reading as follows: "No person shall be eligible to hold any office in such City unless such person be a resident and elector of the City at the time of his election or appointment. No person shall be eligible to hold office of Mayor, member of the City Council, ' street commissioner, treasurer, city clerk, city attorney, police judge or chief of police unless he be a resident and elector of such city at the time of his election or appointment and unless he shall have resided in the City for at least one year next preceding the date of his election or appointment." There have been two changes in the above original law. One change was made in 1935 by enactment of the present Civil Service laws for Police and Fire Departments, taking those two departments out of the operation of the 1907 law. The other was made in 1941. Chapter 25, Session Laws of 141 (Rem.Rev. Stats. 141 Sup-,,1. , erection 9213-3 and -4) reads as follows: "Residence of appointive officials or employees of cities or towns. Any city or town may by ordinance of its legis- lative authority determine whether there shall be any resi- dential qualifications for any or all of its appointive officials or employees, and in event such legislative authority does not fix any residential qualifications for any of such officials or employees, there shall be none: PROVIDED, This act shall not authorize a city or town to change any residential qualifications prescribed in any city charter for any appointive official or employee ." "Repeals. All acts and parts of acts in conflict herewith are hereby repealed." Under the above amendment of 1941, which expressly repeals acts or parts of acts in conflict therewith, it is clear that all appointive officials and employees of any city are not subject to any require- ments of residence within the city unless the city council by ordinance affirmatively requires such residence. The City of -Renton has no such ordinance requiring residence. This amendment does not apply to elective officials ; hence, the mayor, councilmen and police judge are still governed by the 1907 law requiring one year's residence in the City preceding date of their election. Under the Civil Service laws for Police and lire Departments which were enacted in 1935 for Fire Departments and in 1937 for Police Departments, all personnel of these departments who had held their positions for six months before the city qualified under those Civil Service laws, were automatically and permanently inducted into office (regardless of their place of residence) ; and personnel under those Civil Service laws cannot be removed from office except for cause and under the procedure prescribed by such Civil Service laws. Furthermore, in 1946 the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1255, stating: "Hereafter there shall be no residential qualifications for applicants for positions of any kind under Civil Service in the Police Department of the City of Renton: In respect to the Fire Department, there is no similar ordinance waiving residence qualifications. On the contrary, the Regulations adopted by the City Civil Service Cor.unission require that new applicants for positions in the Fire Departrlent must have ninety days residence in the City, consequently the present situation _ is as follows: II I (a) Applicants for Fire Denartment positions must be u residents of the City for 90 days by virtue of the Present Civil Service Regulations governing Fire Department only. (b) There is no reouirement of residence in the City for any position in the Police Department. ( c) There is no requirement of residence in the City for any other appointive city official or employee. (d) Elective city officials - Mayor, Councilmen and Police Judge - must be residents of the city for one year prior to election. Respectfully submitted. Arthur L. Haugan, City Attorney.

Mr. Haugan reported no action has been taken as yet on the recommen- dation of Councilman Bruce regarding the possibility of King County Public Utility Districts being formed.

After the City Attorneyls report, it was moved by Richardson, seconded by Delaurenti, that the City Attorney, Mayor and City Clerk dispatch communications to the Chairmen of the Senate and House Committees on Cities, Towns and Counties with the following recommendations by the City Council.. 1. The City Council opposes the passage of Senate Bill #123 substituting a Federal census after 1950 for State census figures are now used for a basis of allocation of monies to Cities and towns. 2. Also that the City Council is opposed to the passage of House Bill #239 relating to formation of a combined City-County corporation as the Council feels that the City of Renton as a part of King County, along with the rest of the County outside Seattle, would be adversely affected by such legislation and wishes to re- gister a protest against same. 3. That the Council favors the passage of Senate Bill #117, which would authorize cities and towns to provide off-street parking facilities for motor vehicles as the Council considers the passage of this bill would be a definite help in solving traffic problems. 4. The Council is in favor of the passage of House Bill #179 which would authorize cities and towns to require abutting property owners to construct and repair sidewalks or to have said work done at the owner's expense. The Council considers that said bill or similar legislation would be a definite benefit to all cities and towns. 5. The Council further considers that Senate Bill #52 providing for higher maximum limits on salaries in second-class cities and Senate Bill #60 providing for election of certain officers in second-class cities, should each be passed because the salary limitations fixed many years ago for officials of second-class cities are in some instances extremely unfair to the City personnel involved at the present time and also that the officers of second-class cities should be elective as in third-class cities rather than being appointive.

This land to come from that portion of the park now known as the Industrial Area. It is the feeling of the citizens of ::North Renton that this area be used purely as a. park and recreational playground for the children and citizens of the communi- ty. The Club further went on record as against any new buildings being added to this area that could not be used by the people of our community as a whole, feeling that such new buildings, were they to be added, should be for the purpose of park and recreational development. ' As per instructions of the members of the North Renton Improvement Club, I here- with present the Recommendations of that body for your consideration. (S) Floyd W. Shaff, Secretary THE EARLINGTON WOMEN'S CLUB EARLIiNGTON, WASH. June 11, 1949 Honorable Mayor & City Council Renton, Was, ington. Gentlemen: A couple of our members attender: the last meeting; of the North Renton Community Club, as all Earlington mothers are very interested in parks and playgrounds in this area. We feel that it would be very u:fortunate for the children in this area if part of the tract Mr. Monohan originally donated to the City of Renton, as a memorial to his mother, was used for any purpose except as was originally designated. We understand, that in some way, part of this tract was later set aside for an industrial sight, but we believe that after considering the matter carefully you will agree that our children are Renton's greatest asset and that it would not be right to deprive them of anything that would help to keep them on the right path in these trying times. You can look the country over and where there is adequate playground and recreation facilities there is practically no delinquency problems. So, we most respectfully request that you see that this tract is kept for the purpose originally designated. Renton, as .you are well aware, has grown past any of our former expectations these last years and the more it continues to grow, the more need there will be for recreation grounds. If this tract is sacrificed, it would mean a detriment to the youth of the area forever, and surely you do not wish to take the responsibility of hindering their proper development into fine and useful citizens. (S) Florence Haddock, Secretary RENTON CENTRAL LABOR COUNCIL June 14, 1949 Renton City Council Renton, Wn. Dear Sirs: The Renton Central Labor Council requests the Renton City Council to turn back the industrial acreage, that was originally set aside as Mother' s Park, back to the Mother' s Park for a park for the community. (S) Wm. M. Quigly, Sr., Pres. (S) Opal Chadwick, Sy. 287 June 1, 1949 1205 6th Ave. North Renton, Washinbton The Honorable Mayor and Councilmen Renton, Washington Gentlemen: Ps chairman of the committee representing the North Renton Improvement Club, I feel it necessary to make one point clear. The movement to have fourteen acres of the Industrial land adjoining Mothers Park returned to Park property originated in our club. We understand part of this acreage is being considered as a county fairground .... site for the l,N. The North Renton Improvement Club believes the two issues should not be confused. The 4H is a wonderful organization. Their Club is welcome in our city. The fact still remains, however, that we are petitioning for the return of the area into Bothers Park, to be used as a large Pioneer Mothers Community Park -- not a 4H fairground. May we suggest a possible solution to the problem? Could the merchants and clubs sponsoring the 4H project buy land located more suitably for their needs? (S) Mrs. Everett Charboneau Mrs. Henry Leiker Mrs. Geo. Tarahonich Executive Committee o.: the North Renton Improvement Club RENTON GARDEN CLUB June 21, 1949 Renton City Council Renton, Washington Dear Councilmen: This letter is to inform you that the Renton Garden Club requests and advocates the following-- The land, adjacent to Park Avenue North and harboring buildings in commercial use at the present time, be returned to the city of Renton for the purposes of a park for which it was originally intended by Mr. Lee Monahan when he deeded this section of land to the City of Renton, wishing to honor his mother, a pioneer resident of Renton. And this park be called "Pioneer Mother's Park". The Renton Garden Club with the help of other organizations and individuals having this same objective are ready and will exert pressur- to achieve the success of this project. /S/ Elinor Zappalo, Secretary Renton Garden Club TO THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COU CIL CITY OF RENTON June 17, 1949 Concerning the recommendation of the North Renton Improvement Club, which was submitted to the City Council at their re mzla.r meeting of May 17, 1949, that more preperty be added to Mother' s Park for recreational purposes and that this land be acquired from that portion of property now known as the Industrial Area. Wherein this recommendation was referred to the Park Board for investigation, a report of their findings is submitted herewith: In addition to the neighborhood playgrounds, it is deemed desirpble and necessary to have sufficient space in the community to develop a Community park or playfield. For this type of park or playfield it is necessary to have an area of 20 or more acres. Features of this type of park are children's playground, areas for several field games and sports, such as, baseball, fastball , soccer, fottball, etc; batteries of game courts, such as, tennis, badminton, volley ball; area for lawn games, picnic center for small groups and indoor recreation facilities. It is felt that the subject location is desirable because it is adjacent to Mother's Park where recreation facilities are now located. hoc) cc r" These facilities consist of, namely, a gymnasium which is heavily scheduled with physical type of recreation, leaving much to be desired in the way of indoor recreation for young and old alike. It is desirable in any recreation program to have facilities which would take care of other types of recreation, such as quiet games, arts and crafts, social get-togethers, etc. At present there is space available in the Infirmary Wing for just such a program. Whereas, it is understood the 4-H Clubs of King County are desirous of locating in the Community of Renton, it is the contention of the Park Board that their program would definitely be tied in with Renton's present and future recreation de ,elopment if these buildings were so constructed for multiple use. They could then be made available for local recreation purposes as well as for the 4-H Clubs of King County. We, therefore, respectfully request the Honorable Mayor and City Council to consider our recommendations:- That the entire property now known as the Industrial Area be acquired for Park pur- poses and that the buildings now located thereon be put into use for recreational purposes. The Infirmay Win- which is now vacant, could be put into use immediately and the other buildings be taken over at such time as the present leases expire and if said space is not needed at the time lieases expire some ar-angements could then be made with occupants concerned. That if the proposed 4-H plan does materialize, and that an agreement can be reached between the groups concerned, that they be allowed to locate facilities on the Northwest portion of this area, that is the area on which is now located what is known as Building "C' .

MAYOR'S MESSAGE TO COUNCIL AND THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY OF RENTON — I wish to thank the Council for their confidence in electing me as your Mayor. I realize the tremendous responsibilities involved, and the honor that comes with an office of this kind. It is my sincere hope that we may work together, co— operating in our endeavors, for the good of all the people.. A definite program is now in process, which, with assistance of the Council, will do much towards the promotion of more efficient and economical operation in our city administration. Some of the things now in mind are the creating of a Purchasing Agent, so that one man may be responsible to the Mayor and Council for all purchases needed in the various departments of our City government. Along this line would be the setting up of a store room to house the merchandise and implements of work, in order to further expedite the needed arrangements for good business in the ,administration of city affairs. Proper publicity and courtesy should be shown the people of the community -- regarding city affairs and functions. Our citizens should be continually aware of the pros and cons of the many subjects and projects presented to the-Mayor and Council. It shall be my aim to see that such publicity reaches our people. I am sure our local papers will give close cooperation in line with this thought. It has been felt for some time, with our greatly expanding city, that too much responsibility has been placed in too few hands. By certain. shifts in personnel within the departments, and relaying of authority where needed, I hope to increase efficiency, create a better balanced operation, and, in effect, "GET THINGS DONE". The Mayor and the Council are the elected officials of the City. The responsibilities of government therefore are placed directly in their hands. The various departments, their heads, and other responsible parties involved should report all actions to the Mayor and Council so that the continual progress of city affairs may not suffer. I realize, from personal and practical experience, the many hours of work performed by the members of the Council, and the financial sacrifice incurred. I know also that the endeavors by the present Council have been, toa great extent, for the good of all the people. For these reasons, and because close cooperation is needed, I intend to work with them and the various department heads, as long as I am satisfied their actions are proper and right, and for the best interests of all. With these thoughts in mind, and with the expectation of further pro— gressive plans to be put before the people from time to time, I earnestly ask for your help, and I hope to receive the cooperation to which it is my belief, this office is entitled. As administrative head of our city, it is my thought to put as much time as possible to the job. As soon as a schedule may be worked out, office hours will be arranged, very likely in the evening, so that the various groups, and citizens of our community, may be able to present their problems personally. 336 Naturally, differences of opinion are bound to arise. These should be expected. By straight forward discussion, and the meeting of our problems, "HEAD ON's, we can, and will, give to our citizens the kind of government they should expect to receive. f s/ JOE R. BAXTER, JOE R.

May I therefore, take this opportunity to compliment you for a very efficient fire department and through you, to express my sincere commendations to Chief Lawrence and his men for an excellent job well done. Their performance was a credit to any fire department, large or small, paid or volunteer, and the citizens of Renton are indeed fortunate in having such a department.
