submitted for hearing of benefitting
property owners . Proposed route of the
line was shown on the map and reasons
for same denoted.
Upon request , City Attorney Shellan
outlined the legal aspects including
fact that hearing is to allow affected
owners to be heard and to understand

cost and that favorable bid could result
in lesser cost and if high bids are re-
ceived the city has the right to reject
them.

MINUTES - RENTON CITY COUNCIL MEETING 2/9/70
PUBLIC HEARING (Cont . ) L. I.D. 267
Attorney ' s Comments : Mr. Shellan advised that if favorable
bid is awarded another notice will be
sent to property owners and public hearing
again held on the final roll , the total
of which must equal the amount Of City' s
cost .for the job.
Written Protests Letter of protest to the L. I .D. was
read fzvm Mr. Albert Thompson , owner
of N. 80 ' of Lot 292 , who was construct-
ing a new residence and felt the sewer
too costly. Letter received prior to the
meeting this evening from New Renton Home
Sites , L. Backman and Fred W. Akers , owners ,
opposed the improvement if it could not be
utilized to service all of the property
only a portion of their land now included.
Letter from City Engineer Wilson reported
a total estimated cost of $179 ,499 . 39 for
the cost of the project with written
protests , (not including that submitted
at this meeting) totaling 0. 06% of the
preliminary assessment .
Audience comment Mr. Dick Sodergren , King County Health
Department representative, affirmed favor
of the Agency for the L. I. D.
Mr. Fred Akers noted additional service
to be required for sewering their parcel
of land and requested it be deleted or
else to have the entire plot included.
(New Renton Home Sites)
City Engineer Wilson noted it had not
been felt the prohibitive cost of
sewering a parcel with peculiar problems
such as this should be borne by the
entire district when benefit was to a
single parcel , some depth requirement
not making the inclusion feasible .
Mr. Charles Guy called attention to
costs incurred for perc tests and for
septic tank now to be unused.
Mr. Louis Colombi inquired regarding
location of the line and was advised
it will run within the right-of-way,
his concern being with regard to water
line drain on his property at present.
Mr. James Burch inquired regarding basis
of assessment and City Engineer Wilson
outlined mode of zone and termini as
provided by law. Inquiry also being
made regarding time lapse between the
petition and implementation , it being
noted that funding was not readily
available plus the fact fire other sewer
L. I.D's were under way at present.
Policy with regard to street restoration
was questioned and possible cost increase
during interim. It was noted that rather
than patch a street the city policy has
been to resurface the entire right of way
which contractor would not do . Attention
was called to recent street work in
Kennydale following sewer installation.

MINUTES - RENTON CITY COUNCIL MEETING 2/9/70
PUBLIC HEARING: (Cont . ) L.I.D. 267
Audience Comment Mr . Jerry Novak, 1432 Jones Avenue,
noting prior remarks stated that much
of the subject area was a result of
speculative building with absentee
ownerships and that the smell of the
area alone was enought to warrant the
sewers . Need with regard to environment
was noted and granting it ** burden to
some it was in fact needed and everyone
was a part of the community and should Mod
support the project .
Mr. Akers advised he was not against
sewers but would need additional:,service
and should otherwise be deleted, and cir-
culated a map to show the problems .
Mr. Frank Pellegrino noted agreement with
a frontage line but that the city could
not go through his land gratis as it had
been too costly. It was noted that the
line as planned had been the least expen-
sive to the district and although work is
not yet under way in this regard , the
district would bear costs of easement rights.
Extra cost for sewering down Jones Avenue
due to depth was noted.
Mr. Frank Storey called attention to the
high bacterial count into the lake and
noting need for the L. I.D. advised there
will be easements required and that he is
interested enough in the community to .
grant same.
Mr. Paul Smith inquired regarding proximity
of line to existing fence and as to effect
on shrubbery. The City Engineer advised
shrubbery and all property improvements are
avoided as possibly can be . Mr. Smith felt
as owner of several parcels o.f •problem
topography his land should be included in
another L. I. D. and that the district ex-
tends too far considering depth required.
Mr. R. W. Wiehoff inquired concerning the
interest and period of payment which City
Engineer Wilson advised would not exceed
6 . 5% interest with a 10 year payment
schedule.
As there was no further business , it was
MOVED BY STREDICKE, SECONDED BY BRUCE, THE
HEARING BE CLOSED. Shane inquired regarding
reason for excluding part of Akers land
and was advised it was not fair to the dis-
trict to assess this cost but that this
does not preclude its being sewered at a
later time . THE PENDING MOTION CARRIED.
MOVED BY PERRY, SECONDED BY SHANE, TO

L. I.D. 267 AS PRESENTED. CARRIED. MOVED

Senate Bill 294 Councilman Clymer proposed motion ,
seconded by Shane , that the City
Council instruct the City Clerk to
write to Governor Evans asking him
to veto the Senate Bill 294.
Reasons were outlined including
that it was not intended by the
Council nor Citizens Advisory Group
to give the Mayor a 6 year term;
90-day referendum period has elapsed;
it was intent of the council that the
Mayor and Council run for re-election.

that the Legislation Committee should ad-
vise the Council of proposed legislation .

to get clarifications on 3 paints of the
law noted heretofore , the thought being •in-
asmuch as no opinion has been received,
to date , the Attorney General is awaiting
results of the action on the bill prior _
to issuing opinion; Grant 's hope being not
to jeopardize the optional municipal
code status of the city by requesting
veto, but to discuss the matter in Com-
mittee and get opinion on questions he
had raised. Upon inquiry by Shane ,the Mayor
advised he was aware of the bill ' s contents .
After various opinions regarding effect
of a veto and action to be taken by the
council in best interest of the community ,
inquiries regarding content of the bill
and requests for further discussion in
Committee , the pending MOTION CARRIED.

In regard to the bill introduced he did

Grant advised he was lobbying against
his brother and had no vested interest
in the bill . He felt the Mayor had every

expense for the proposed use was not felt
warranted, this not being an offensive
type development needing restriction .
L-1 was deemed appropriate and reasonable
and reversal of the Planning Commission
decision was requested . As there was no
further audience comment , council action

Discussion ensued concerning size of the
property and that of the railroad , future
right of way development and desire for a
buffer between use areas with overall

pressed opinion that he did not feel the
railroad would be hurt if L-1 were granted
and because they were there first was not
justifiable to require others to accept
what they wanted. The Planning Director
noted they had accepted standards in com-
pliance with the Comprehensive Plan and
thereby established desired buffer .between
heavy industrial use and that this is the
accepted concept in planning . He noted the

AUDIENCE COMMENT
Mr . Sven Johnson Mr . Johnson remarked, concerning the
1520 Index N. E. Tiffany Park building site action that
closure without adequate ventilation
could result in mildew and liability
suggesting the council advise the mortgage
company of need for emergency closure and
request a hold harmless agreement.
Mrs. Margaret Evans Mrs. Evans praised the Council Members
403 Grandey Way ND who made an effort to give the voters a
chance for yes or no vote on the Optional
Municipal Code which she felt would have
passed, stating they stand head and shoulders
over the others and when she supported some-
thing she did not like it be be dipped in a
mud puddle .
Cdr. Joe Sporcik Mr. Sporcik stated if the council is going
1314 Harrington NE to pass laws and get the Optional Municipal
Code in it should do so or otherwise start
enforcing the laws it has , but should not
make and then break them. This law is for
the good of the people and not for someone
else to say what to do.
Mr. Eddie Taylor Mr. Taylor expressed view that the action
356 Thomas S. W. taken regarding the abandoned building
site in the Tiffany Park area was not on
the right track and if 8 or 10 citizens
went in and covered the holes and effected
closure the city would not be involved in
problems concerning private property.

Principal Access - NE 9th St . via Edmonds Ave NE
Existing Zoninq - R-2
Proposed Use - Apartments by Special Permit
Comprehensive Land Use Plan - Low-density ,
Multi-family Residential
Plans -- To construct a duplex in addition to
the existing duplex - for a total of
four apartment units on the site .
Future plans indicate possibility of
another 2-story structure which might
involve removal of existing duplex .
A letter from the Planning Director outlined
findings , review and recommendations of the
Planning Commission , to-wit :
Area is primarily single-family residential .
The Comprehensive Land Use Plan indicates
potential low-density multi-family , but
appearance of existing single-family homes
in the area indicates multiple use is some
time off in the future .
Rezone application for R-3 zoning had been
made in 1968 and the Commission had recommended
the zoning remain R-1 . This resulted in
appeal to the Council with R-2 zoning granted
which permits the present non-conforming use .
The Planning Commission recommended denial of
Mr . Barger ' s application , to allow apartment
use on R-2 zoned property considering it
premature for the area and detrimental to
surrounding properties .

Transportation 1 .a . The Committee recommended the City go on
Committee Report record opposing the use of residential
& Recommendations streets as primary access to the gravel pit
3/16/70 operation in the Devil 's Elbow Area , further
Gravel Pit recommending proper legal action , if required,
Operations to restrict the use of those streets .
b. The Committee also made the recommendation
that the subject of open-pit mining be
referred to the Board of Public Works for
survey of all such operations within the
city limits. The Board should review all
gravel pit operations and recommend corrective
legislation for improvement of safety and
esthetics .
c. Recommended that the Building Department
investigate gravel pit operation located on
Lake Washington Blvd to see if they have taken
corrective measures to improve safety, in
line with previous recommendation by the
Building Department .
It was moved by Stredicke , seconded by
Schellert , to concur in the committee
recommendation.
Discussion ensued as to the City 's right to
restrict the use of the street and information
was required from the City Attorney and
Traffic Engineer . They informed the Council
that the City can regulate the traffic
w..
within the corporate limits , but it would be
necessary to determine whether the streets
in their present condition are inadequate
to accomodate certain vehicles , and would
require proper signing and posting . They
stated that you can not arbitrarily interfere
with traffic and deny the truck traffic.
Traffic can be rerouted, but you cannot land-
lock if it is the only means of ingress and
egress . Building Department requirements
on this type of permit calls for maintaining
a fence, gate to all points of access ,
filing of grading plan , and regulations con-
cerning slopes . They have now issued a
stop-work order on the Devil Elbow Operation
in the County, presumably for certain non-
compliance under their permit .

that no change be effected to the existing

clusions resulted in the finding that the

do not have desirable qualities for multi-
family uses and for the small percentage
which would be desirable , the zoning ordinance
allows such development . Because of standards,
required quality development would be assured.
Stredicke noted percentages were reached
because of the properties on the lake shore
and he felt it was wrong to have a multiple
use in designations .

was forthcoming .

..� audience had not commented since it felt the

approved by Council and in view of the opposite
council action remarks should be allowed.
Moved by Perry , seconded by Stredicke to allow

MINUTES - RENTON CITY COUNCIL MEETING 4/20/70
PUBLIC HEARING : (Cont . ) Zoning Ordinance - Proposed Revision
relating to multiple residential use in industrial
zones .
Audience comment Mr . Yanken noted the Baxter property has been
zoned H-1 since annexation to Renton and also
before that time when in the county . He
added that the area is now in a state of flux
with taxes becoming prohibitive to low rent
industrial use and if council follows through
with motion proposed that area may be committed
to a use he doubted would be wanted in the future.
He urged recognition of special qualifications of
the area and that Planning Commission proceedings
be reviewed and adopted as part of the Council
record with the city 's expertise (Planning Com-
mission) recommendations being heeded and view$
of concerned property owners heard, which had
resulted in the recommendations .
Mr . Ward Roberts ,of Reilly Tar and Chemical
Company ,advised that the principal plans to
complete operations and to sell within a few
months and change to the comprehensive plan
and zoning is a time consuming process which
involves hearings before not one, but two
bodies , such time element being of concern .
outlini:ig attributes of the property with regard
to residential development , in which it was felt
prospective buyers would be interested, he noted
council -ould , if it followed procedure intended
in the pending motion , lock in another industry
on the property which would not be desirable
for the area nor would it be the highest and best
use as far as land value is concerned. Removal
of industries in this area being currently
promoted , such action was felt to be counter-
productive and the council was urged to consider
prime concern of timely desire for liquidation
of operations , and end result of its action.
Mr . Dexter A . Washburn , Attorney , With Kehoe,
Bayley , Hooper & Olsen , 1000 Norton Building,
Seattle , on behalf of Reilly Tar & Chemical Co. ,
noted surprise at council action contrary to the
recommendation of the Planning Commission and
requested a continuation to allow preparation of
presentations he felt would serve t!e council in
its -;onsideration of the matter.
Perry explained intent of the motion was to
take housing out of industrial areas and that
he understood the people could come back and
request a rezone if fpture use for housing is
desired.
Discussion ensued, it being felt council was
not fully informed of various factors of im-
portance to the issue , Planning Commission
notation of present allowance of such .lesser . 1
use without owner having to request rezone to
use the land , being recalled .
.Moved by Stredicke , seconded by Grant , to
continue the public hearing for two weeks to
May 4 , 1970 . The motion carried.

PUBLIC HEARING PROPOSED REVISION OF ZONING ORDINANCE TO EXCLUDE
Continued from MULTI-RESIDENTIAL USES IN INDUSTRIAL ZONED AREAS
4/20/70 and 4/6/70 This being the date set for continuation of the
public hearing, reading of communications was
invited by the Chair . Planning Commission letter
was read recommending that no change be effected
to the existing Zoning Ordinance at this time .
Letter from J . H. Baxter Company , by Dean H.
Brokaw , Dist . Sales Mgr . , objected to revision
of the present ordinance , expressing concern
that prohibiting residential uses in H-1 , L-1
and MP Districts will devalue the properties
and prevent future development of the land to
its highest and best use . Escalation of the
property taxes now indicating that in a few years
it would no longer be profitable to continue
operations - a look to the future and reappraisal
has caused reconsideration of intent for indefinite
aperation ,and by all indications multiple family
`lousing would seem to be the highest and best
future use . Proposed changes would remove the
existing right to develop the property, reducing
market •value . Attention was called to the unique
problem of the several businesses along the lake-
front which comprise an isolated island of industry
surrounded by apartments and residential property .
It was requested that the unanimous recommendation
of the Planning Commission be upheld. Alternate ...
actions including exemption of M-1 or new classi -
fication of H-2 , or delay for further study , were
suggested until solution for resolving nroblems
unique to the May Creek area might be attained .
Letter from Barbee Mill Co . , Inc . , by Alex Cugini ,
Jr . , Secretary , expressed concern over the proposed
Cn:7e amendment , it being felt the lake front area
in the May Creek district is in a state of change
and it is the feeling that the future best and
highest use would be for a people-water oriented
facility which development would be of benefit
135
MINUTES - RENTON CITY COUNCIL MEETING 5/4/70
PUBLIC HEARING (Cont . ) Proposed Revision to zoning Ordinance
Barbee Mill Letter to the city if allowed potential development .
Revision was protested as such change would
forever condemn the property to industrial
use; preclude future development of multi-
family dwellings; decrease property value on
tax rolls and create a burden on owners by
devaluing the property.
Reilly Tar & Chemical Letter from W. W. Roberts , Plant Manager,
Corporation Letter noted adverssaffect of proposed change to
s the zoning ordinance . With sale of Reilly
Tar anticipated in the near future and
appraisers statement that multi-family use
is highest and best , industrial being second
and commercial unlikely , he felt no change
should be made and the Planning Commission
recommendation be allowed to stand to allow
gradual change in an orderly manner, locking
in of an industrial use for many years to
come not being desirable .
Audience comment Speaking in support of their letters and on
behalf of the various business concerns were
Mr . Ward Roberts , of Reilly Tar & Chemical
Co. , who noted businesses were creating a
problem for the residential areas and vice
versa . Pointing out factors involved, on a
map in regard to this relationship, he added
the owners desire a clean sale with no stigma
of possible revision of use, prospective buyers
being interested in residential development .
Mr. Hugh A . Thompson , 14032 Woodinville-Redmond
Hwy . , advised he had been retained to appraise
Reilly Tar & Chemical properties , his conclusion
taw being that the highest and best use was multiple
residential ; that the industrial improvement
adds nothing to the land and to lock in this use
would depreciate the land value by 50% .
Mr. Dean Brokaw, of J . H. Baxter Co . emphasized
time and effort of the Planning Commission in
its study: svch orderly change in the best in-
terest of all property in this unique areayas
well as the city . He outlined years of operation
by various industry and subsequent development of
.i surrounding areas by residential uses urging that
the Planning Commission be upheld.
i
Stredicke urged the Commission recommendation be
4 turned down as there are other properties through-
out the city to be affected and not just the lake
front areas and it was felt some alternate action
might be applied for the water oriented areas with
unique problems .
Shane noted access should be left to the water
in any event .
Mr . Roberts called attention to time being of
the essence with .impending sale of Reilly Tar .
Mr. Gene Brandzel , Attorney , for Reilly Tar Co. ,
noted urgency of the sale and stated actions
tonight would determine use of the property it
being felt the residential restriction would not
be in best interest of owner nor the city . He
added cooperation would be given the city at
time necessary if alternate action is desired
but requested no change at present . Mr . Jim
Hanken , Attorney for J . H. Baxter Co . , stAted
sky-rocketing taxes have caused re-evaluation

from side property line rather than required 5 ft .
be allowed for purpose of addition to residence
at 1413 Aberdeen Ave . N.E. (It was noted that 6 ft .
iz required since this was a two-story addition)
Mr. Petrin displayed a drawing of the proposed
addition and noted locations of septic tanks were
prohibitive to lay-out revision . He advised of
desire to enlarge to accommodate his family and
to provide adequate entrance and outlined size
of rooms present ,and anticipated ,and problems
the restrictions would impose with relationship
to location of rooms and terrain if relocated.

ment desire that in fulfilling ordinance requirement J

Discu.ssiul2 Cont . -Conditional Use Permit Extension for Harvey Campbell
to permit rental trailers at 1404 S. W. 16th Street
property unaware that the trailers were not to be
allowed which is a mode of payment on his mortgage
and the extension is needed for another year so he
would not lose the property after which he plans to
raw build more apartments or sell . -He called attention
to high interest and tight bank financing situation
which prohibits building, the low economy , and fact
that he is no longer employed at Boeing being further
reason he has been unable to develop additional
facilities on the property . He noted existing trailer
court next to his property and another one next to
that and requested his be allowed another year. The
property is zoned R-4 which he felt should include trailers .
Discussion ensued it being noted by Stredicke that
the upgrading of the Mobile Home Park Ordinance has
been completed and standards established and this
use is prohibited therein . Hearings had been held
and to allow continuation will not improve the area
but defeat the purpose of intent in the new legisla-
tion . Mr . Campbell stated he meets the Code as far
as he can but does not have 5 acres of space . The
matter of non-conforming use by others in the area
was discussed and it was noted no complaints have
been registered regarding the trailers on Mr . Campbell's
property . After further remarks concerning the notice
of expiration of use permit and requirements to comply
or cease operation issued by the Building Department
and review of events since permit was issued, it was
moved by Perry , seconded by Barei , to substitute the
,m motion that permit be extended to September 30, 1970.

noise factor were deterrent to securing loan. Mr.
John Harer, owner of two trailer courts , objected to
trailers on private property , trailer parks being
required to secure license and to meet building code
and urged that the permit not be extended. Motion
to extend to September 30 was voted upon and carried.

UTES - RENTON CITY COUNCIL MEETING 6/1/70
NEWBUSINE�SS BY COUNCIL: (Cont . )
Water Pressure Councilman Edwards reported that his home
Deficiency was included in those without water pressure
last evening but that pressure had subsequently
been restored. City Engineer Jack Wilson noted
receipt of call shortly after 5 :00 p.m. and
the water department immediately took follow up
action . The problem did not result from work
by the city but from demand on supply from 900
heat . Attention was called to budgetary alloca-
tion for capital improvement program which in-
cludes replacement of mains in this area , some
immediate work with 4 - 6 hundred feet of line
could be done toward solving critical problem
for the present , but when everyone waters their
lawn at once it affects the pressure. zone
change on Edmonds , one high, one low, giving
one area a lot and the other too little pressure was
noted. Stredicke inquired regarding advance
notice to affected residents when lines are
serviced which was noted to be procedure.
Lake Wn . Beach Councilman Grant reported visit to Lake Wn .
Recreation Facility Beach Park which he feels has become a terrific
facility with the added year around boat launch
area . Official opening is to be next Saturday
and the park is open until 10 : 00 p.m. , deemed to
be as fine a park as any in Western Washington
Public vs . private Councilman Shane stated that in review of study
power utility of public vs . private utilities , he does not
feel public utilities should pay any less tax
than the private utility and he would like to
see the city petition for the same rates for
both . There being no competition in governmental
operation , he felt the state should be requested
to assess each equally , exempting one if the other.
and he requested the Mayor to send a letter in
this regard, which courtesy the Mayor returned to him.
AUDIENCE COMMENT Mr . Amos Huseland, 1916 Edmonds N. E. , inquired
concerning notice to property owners of adjacent
lands located within the city when a county public
hearing concerns areas outside the corporate limits .
He noted receipt of notice of the Red-Samm mining
permit hearing but those persons residing inside the
city in proximity thereto had not been notified and
he had contacted them to advise of the matter.
Mayor Garrett noted the City 's action to attend and
object to extension of permit , matters of notification
being in accordance with regulating statutes and
county policy not likely extended in this regard .
Mr. Huseland urged council to give due consideration
to the evident need for housing for the elderly,
noting it to be a fact that private rental property
owners could not rent at such low rates as afforded
pensioners in the Housing Authority units and the
project not felt to be competitive . He advised of
programs in other parts of the world where permanent
structures are built for this purpose having 50 to
100 years depreciation and amortization . He felt
the need for housing for pensioners to be evident .
Councilman Stredicke suggested post card notices
to owners at residence addresses since they do not
always live on posted properties , it being noted
that if they are out of town they do not know
of posted or published notice . The Mayor was
asked to investigate this possibility of post card
notification procedure .
ADJOURNMENT Moved by Maxin , seconded by McKay , to adjourn . The
motion carried. The meeting adjourned at 9 :30 p.m.

putting in almost as much time . He added that
during the month of May he put in 40 hours in
meetings and spent 30 hours on city business
in addition and proposed motion,accordingl.y ,
recommendation to be changed to $1 ,000. 00, which
motion the Mayor declared to be out of order.
Barei added his hope that council would not in-
crease salaries to $300. 00 as it would encourage
seeking of office forsalazy and not for benefit
to the City , this being a lot of money and when
service is given because they want to serve the
city the quality is just as good as it would be
if paid more , expense to individual mainly being
away from his family and cost of driving;service
of Councilman Delaurenti over the years an example
his service equally valuable now with a salary as
(26) years ago when he did not receive that amount .
Reconsideration was urged, and the pending motion
to concur was subsequently voted upon and carried .
The proposed ordinance was placed on its first
reading. Moved by Barei , seconded by Delaurenti ,
to place the document on second and final reading.
The motion carried, Stredicke opposing and Shane

PUBLIC HEARING :
Vacation of Whitman Petitions with signatures representing 69 and
Ct . N. E. (Cont . ) 70 households were read inquiring as to aspects
of traffic and possible tax burdens in the event
additional schools and utilities are required,
the second requesting that parking face to the
north ; 25 ft . green strip and fencing to screen;
vacation of Whitman Ct . N.E. , limit of 228 units
and maintenance upon completion to keep the area
in good condition . It was pointed out that under
the R-3 zoning such concessions are not mandatory
and any made have been by voluntary act , the
matter now before the body being only the vacation
of Whitman Court N. E. , which had been urged by
■.. various members of the audience .
Discussion ensued wherein parking lot problems ,
size of buffer zone , preservation of natural
wooded areas and easement were presented with
comments from residents including those of Mr.
Floyd Gabriel , 4140 N.E . 11th; Mr. John McGann ,
4333 N. E. 11th ; Mr . Dwayne Frieboes , 4208 N.E.
11th ; Mr . Paul Howell , 4340 N.E. 11th; Mr . Jim
Soloman , 4104 N.E. 11th and Mrs . A . L. Jones ,
4109 N. E. 11th . Mrs . Margaret Evans , 403 Grandey
Way N .E. urged the citizens to keep informed as
time and again views are expressed on actions
affecting their properties when it is too late,
noting publications advertise hearings and events
which may be aatched for timely action . It was
pointed out that in this case the R-3 zoning was
in existence when properties were purchased by
present owners , ':wing been zoned prior to 1965
at which time Honeydew was not a part of the City.
Mr . Dennis Decker, representing Kalin Construction ,
reported plans to preserveas manytrees for natural
settings as possible , noting meetings with property
owners to inform them and hear their views. The
plan submitted and approved for financing is to be
followed and concessions as reasonable and possible
have been made but to allow 20 ft . green belt will
require relocation of units and change in plans
already approved by financing agency , creating
problems . Present zoning allows greater density
and higher buildings than planned however developers
have tried to be compatible for a good relationship.
Moved by Shane , seconded by Grant ,to continue one
week for consideration of requests from residents .
The motion failed . Shane felt buffer can be wider.
Grant inquired regarding sidewalks and was advised
off site improvements according to code will be re-
quired including curbs and sidewalks adjacent to
the right of way . Grant requested the Planning Dir-
ector to furnish plans of s=dewalks to and within
the development for council information , suggesting
restrictive covenants be filed prior to final action
on the vacation , it being noted the Ordinance can be
held . Stredicke felt solutions could be reached and
moved to close the hearing. Motion , seconded by
Bruce , carried. Stredicke proposed 600 angle parking
with buffer increased to 6 ft . which Mr . Decker said
he would check out with Mr. Kalin . Upon inquiry by
■..
Schellert , City Attorney Shellan suggested the
covenants be qualified to tie in with plans submitted
to eliminate future problems with how development was
completed. Moved by Stredicke , seconded by Schellert ,
vacation fee be waived and vacation granted subject
to 20 ft . easement . Dissenting voice vote brought
roll call and vote as follows : Aye , 8: Schellert ,
Bruce , Maxin , Stredicke , McKay , Perry , Delaurenti and

having lain idle over the years and not on tax

S. W. 43rd St . Vicinity Mr. M. W. Lotto , P.O. Box 2018 felt that the

s MINUTES - RENTON CITY COUNCIL
PUBLIC HEARING - L. I .D. 269 , Watermains
Conway property on which the Relco Investment
Co. is exercising on option to purchase , as both
properties served by Tukwila water supply .
City Engineer Wilson 's report submitted a total
estimated cost of $99 , 773. 49 , with assessed
valuation adequate to support the proposed
district . At 5 : 00 p. m. written protests from
owners respresented 13. 96% of the estimated
cost of the improvement , but not including 3. 66%
.� from Ralph Leber Co . Inc. occupying a building
on the University Building Co. property.
A communication presented by Chicago , Milwaukee ,
St . Paul & Pacific Railroad Co . requested deletion
on line right-of-way , not opposing assessment
on railroad station grounds or similar property ,
a5 no benefit to this portion of their property .
Audience comments were invited. Mr. Joel Sidell ,
1412 S. W. 43rd St . , was in favor of L.I. D. advis-
ing he had filed formal complaints against the
City of Renton and Orillia Water Co. for
unsanitary conditions due to shortage of water
to the Ben Cabreros property as on the end of
old Orillia Water Co . line. Mr. George
Jonientz of Jonientz Packing at 1608 W. W. 43rd
St . stated he had ample water supply from the
Orillia Water Co . and protested his assessment
had gone from estimated $4 ,000. to $9 ,000. ,
and felt this would drive the last of the farmers
out of the Valley . Mr. Lewis Leber of the
Ralph Leber Co. , Inc. requested exclusion of
their property as they received sufficient water
from Tukwila . Mr . Robert Baker, 7200 40th Ave.
N.E . , Seattle , expressed opposition on behalf
of his wife 's property as the State Highway had
taken house and the remaining lot was too small
to build on .
City Engineer Wilson explained about a year ago
when highway work started, it was known water
would be in short supply for Orillia . Two
petitions were combined for an L. I. D. represent-
ing 65% of property valuation . As no permission
has been given to Tukwila to service Renton
area with water, the Ralph Leber Co. request
is questionable . Mr. Wilson also felt the
railroad would benefit from water on right-of-
way in case of fire . Methods of computing cost
were explained with very little difference
between the cost of 6-inch and 12-inch line .
Orillia Water Co . inadequate lines were cause
of water shortage . He outlined the procedures
to adjust assessments upon determination of
benefit to the property. MOVED BY SHANE, SECONDED
BY BRUCE TO CONTINUE PUBLIC HEARING UNTIL SEPT.
14 . Motion withdrawn . MOVED BY STREDICKE,
SECONDED BY SCHELLERT, HEARING BE CLOSED. CARRIED.
Audience Comment : Mr. John Welch, 418 S. 104th ,
Seattle , requested city participation in the

OLD BUSINESS BY COUNCIL: (Cont . )
Bingo Councilman Shane Moved , second by Grant , the City
Attorney challenge ruling bingo is not legal
since it is being conducted in other counties
and communities of the state . Use of taxpayer' s
money for such pursuance was not felt to be
justified it being suggested some organization
take up the issue . During discussion it was
noted that changes are to be proposed to the
Legislature to allow bingo to be conducted by
certain groups . Maxin moved the previous question
and upon second by McKay the motion was put to
vote and lost, debate resuming. Motion to challenge
was subsequently voted upon and lost .

reniform law request Council President Schellert noted fact that
because motion regarding bingo failed does not
mean the council is against it . In travels about
the country in his work the obvious fact that
interpretation of the law is not uniform comes
to light since bingo is being conducted in parts
of the state and not allowed in others . He proposed
motion that the matter be referred to the public
safety committee to contact Attorney General
Gorton and County Executive Spellman and request
that the city be allowed to employ a tolerance
policy similar to that to be proposed to the
legislature -Second by Stredicke .Problems anticipa-
ted,the city could volunteer to operate under the
proposed legislation and report could be made if
satisfactory or not at the time the legislation
is presented, also serving as notice that the
city is not satisfied with selective differences
in interpretation of the law . Moved by Delaurenti ,
seconded by Clymer, to substitute motion to refer
to Committee of the Whole , and the two county
officials be invited to a meeting f:o discuss the
matter. Clymer approved discussion but not a
double standard of tolerance policy or gambling
law. Motion subsequently carried.
Council President Schellert commended Mayor
Garrett for instituting a motor pool program
for use of city vehicles which operation will
result in less cost per utilization .
Bonding Counsel Councilman Schellert reported receipt of letter
from Mr. Don Morken ,who formerly worked for the
City on special bonding counsel matters through
the firm of Foster and Marshall , and Mr. Morken
now working individually has offered his service
to the city to review the utility rate study and

PUBLIC HEARING J . Van Osdell appeal of Planning Commission
Variance Deni71 - denial of variance for access to parking area
NW corner NE 10th from Kirklanri Avenue N. E. , V-661-70.
St . and Kirkland NE
apartment parking lot This being the date set , the hearing was opened.
Letter from Gordon Y. Ericksen , Planning Director,
reported that access restriction was imposed as
condition at time of rezoni:-g of the property in
1966 and that the Commission ,after public hearing
.in S,__ntember 23 , 1970, denied application for a
crariance to allow driveway on Kirkland Avenue NE
as it is in direct violation of the condition
whereby original rezone was granted.
Audience comment was invited.Mr. James Van Osdell ,
3030 VE 10th Street , appearing on behalf of the
owners and occupants ,noted that the access from
Jefferson is hazardous since an arterial must be
crossed and sharp left turn negotiated onto a
sharp-rising unmarked access to enter the lot
and for manyof the older residents,especialiy,
this was felt to be a legal condition which was
creating a danger to life , an accident being
predicted to be unavoidable sooner or later.
Further improvement to Kirkland '5 an arterial
is not anticipated and no problems have resulted
through its use, another apartment in the area
using this access . It was felt the decision in
denying the variance was based on emotion because
the corporation owning the apartment had been in
violation of the zoning ordinance and were going
to be taught a lesson . When notified of being iii
violation :`''.e area was barricaded. :'hose now
protesting have been violating the law by dumping
trash north of the apartment so they cannot be so
concerned with property value and ecology . The
present entrance,requiring a sharp turn , is a
problem for the elt'_erly residents and as no plans
are in the cffing for a^!/ further street improvement ;
variance was requested. Several partners were
involved in the property at the time of the
rezone and the present owner had felt a variance
had been granted and when advised Dt:lerwise he
filed for the current variance .
Mr . John Becker, 1034 Kirkland Avenue N.E. , a
resident 6= "he area for 10 years and in on the
original zoning, recalled that when granted for
apartment use a barrier was to allow no access
to Kirkland fcr protection of the residents and
in accord with the comprehensive plan separating
residential from apartment and business use .

MINUTES - RENTON CITY COUNCIL MEETING
PUBLIC HEARING (Cont . ) Van Osdell appeal of variance denial
John Becker Comments Also , there were children routed through this area
and this traffic is detrimental to their welfare .
Access through "J" Street was proper and a
condition at- the time of zoning and this was
to be maintained by the apartment owners and
Council should now live up to its obligation .
Councilman Shane arrived at the meeting.
Mr . Glenn Burrelle , 1010 Kirkland Avenue N.E.
opposed the granting of a variance recalling
prior objections to Kirkland access. and barricade
request, and if not to be barricaded there should
have been no apartment .
Councilman Stredicke expressed desire to step
down from the council seat and speak from t'e
audience having served on the Planning Commission
during this rezone action .
Considerable discussion ensued among the council
and parties for and against the variance ,with
matter of restrictive covenants being reviewed
and enforcement actions; matter of letters not
being transmitted among apartment owners and
delay in off-site improvement: . Councilman Grant
arrived during this discussion . Shane felt the
developer should not be denied use of the right
of way any more than individual residents .
MOVED BY DELAURF.NTI, SECONDED BY PERRY, THE
HEARING BE CLOSED.
Film slides were shown of the area and it was
noted that off-site improvements will be required
on K Street at a future date and that bond has
been posted for this installation . PENDING MOTION
CARRIED.
MOVED BY GRANT, SECONDED BY PERRY, THE APPEAL
FOR VARIANCE BE DENIED. Further discussion ensued,pro,
concerning the investment involved and improvement
to the area by developer; and con that original
zoning may have been wrong, but that delay after
delay followed and committment to residents should
be upheld there being no special circumstances to
warrant a variance , lack of effort by property
owner not valid. Shane opposed denial of access
right to property owners . Prior R-3 zoning protest
and off-site improvement requirements not being
enforced was recalled. Mr. Van Osdell noted all
foundations laid to be very good but urged that
the economic status of Renton not be overlooked
it being felt a hardship is being worked there
as the elderly will not stay having to make that
turn , there being 43 voters involved also who
will read the minutes . Improvements made to the
corner were noted and attention called to Zack
of any off-site improvements elsewhere in the
vicinity or to the properties , garbage being
dumped as invitation to rodents . by the persons
demanding denial so ecology not being their interest.

Petition opposing Petition was read from Victoria Park residents
proposed route of expressing concern over proposed route of SR 515
SR515 - Benson Hwy. (Benson Hwy . ) from Carr Road to Grady Way . The
Council was requested to investigate and consider
alternate proposal that Benson as exists be
widened to Puget Drive assuming the route of Puget
Drive by gradual curve, with another gradual curve
onto Talbot and meeting Grady Way . It was urged
that no further cutting of trees be allowed until
final location is determined and noted also that
no essential green belt buffer zone is planned.
war Meetings and Design Hearing with Planning and
Engineering Departments of the City , the residents
and State Highway representatives were discussed.
Mr. Don G . Rege1 , petitioner , outlined objections
as presented at the Design Hearing, noting the
people should be protected and that the proposed
route through the Victoria Park residential area
is detrimental to planned community concept , would
introduce noise and air pollution to serene resi-
dential community , generate a steady flow of cars
and be a hazard to safety of the children . Talbot
Hill will be isolated by proposed cul de sac
eliminating present major access road as well as
dividing portion of the subdivision . Use of
existing location would cost one million dollars
less than that proposed with less disruption to
community and property values and would not take
new land off the tax rolls . SR 515 as proposed
could intersect with S. 15th and with Talbot
using Puget Drive and on to Grady Way .
Mr. Dunn , District Engineer , State Hwy. Department ,
reported involvement with city personnel , residents
and developer in developing a coordinated plan .

matter. Stredicke noted news photo of most finished
drawing of a project, with access and ca.;:s, and he

location was requested. City Engineer Wilson noted
proposed location has been under consideration by the
Highway Department for the past 9 years and -as a
part of the City ' s Six year comprehensive plan for
5 or 6 years . Barei stated the question for con-
sideration is should the road go here ;also with less
traffic since Boeing force reduction whether needed
in the first place .
Mr. Richard Dodge , 2532 Smithers South , advised
of concern as to expediency of council action ,need not
being placed in judgment but whether route chosen
is the best and based upon council 's knowledge,
this decision is what should be determined. It is
not desired to delay but to advise the Highway
Commission of design revision requests . Shane
inquired regarding prior involvement by council .

government in action Douglas commented he had never before
attended a meeting on higher level than
student senate but he observed a lot was
being referred and not much action tonight
which he would look into more deeply and will
attend more meetings . He suggested possible
student representative and inquired as to
what procedures might be taken in this
regard . It was suggested that the school
government classes might elect representa-
tives or that each school might select
names and submit their lists to the Mayor
for appointment . Political Science Club
noted as a possibility for pursuance also.
Council President Schellert advised the
students that many of the communications
and matters are being introduced for the
first time and in order to have all of the
facts ,detailed study and perhaps visits
may be necessary and desired by some of
the council members prior to taking final
action on a matter . He noted passage of
5 recommendations without discussion as
they had been completely discussed at the
committee meeting.
Barei felt a sounding board of youth
was a good idea and noted various matters
tonight which might be well to have been
given student recommendation . (Pool table
at Big Red , etc. )
Mayor Garrett recalled Political Science
student representatives attended meetings
at one time.
Mrs . Margaret Evans Mrs . Evans recalled a couple times when
student representatives came to meetings
with 4-monthobeing longest length of
attendance . Some came early and were
encouraged to take the time to attend the
meetings to understand their city govern-
ment . She felt they need encouragement and
that the council should stop by and say they
are glad to have them here and maybe the
individual attention would help rather than
just speaking to a whole crowd . Also , the
one way we are going to understand youth
is for them to speak for others .
The Mayor advised the City would be glad to
participate in a youth representative progravi
and expressed pleasure at the visit tonight.
MOVED BY STREDICKE, SECONDED BY BRUCE, TO

OLD BUSINESS BY COUNCIL
Removal of Signs Councilman Delaurenti remarked concerning sign
by Candidates removal by candidates commending the council for
timely and efficient pick up efforts . Perry
added commendation to Councilman Stredicke for
his vigorous clean-up pursuits which included
not only his own signs, but all .
SR 515 - Proposed Councilman Stredicke inquired regarding action
Relocation of the and disposition concerning proposed relocation
Benton Highway of the Benson Highway . It was noted that the
Transportaiton Committee will be reporting on
the matter this evening.
Talbot Hill Stredicke inquired concerning access to Talbot
Access-Overpass dill from the West over the Valley Freeway. re-
calling at the time the freeway went in the
State had promised another access as the existing
one was being blocked off. Locating the fire
station in the flats would do nothing for Talbot
Hill unless access is provided from the West
Valley Freeway to the North of So . 180th . (SW 43rd)
Delaurenti recalled this to be a verbal commitment
and upon inquiry City Engineer Wilson advised the:
Highway Department had said if justified they would
build such access . Councilman Barei recalled there
had been 5 routes off the hill and there were now
only two . Stredicke noted if valley is not indus-
trialized the fire station would not be properly
utilized being unable to serve the hill area .
It was noted that relocation of Benson further
complicates access restriction for the area and
overpass access from the West may well be justified.

SUBJECT TO THE TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE FOR REPORT
ON OVERPASS ACCESS AS DISCUSSED. MOTION CARRIED.
MORE - SIGN Stredicke commended Councilmen Delaurenti and
CLEAN-UP Grant for outstanding and early sign removal
efforts who , along with Mr . Shane , were very
prompt in taking down their signs , Mr . Stredicke
also noting he has about 2500 signs in his yard
and was looked upon with some chagrin by the
Demolay Boys Club who had sign removal as a project
and were hard put to fill a truck. Fine was suggested
for failure to remove signs .

PUBLIC HEARING MEETING
1971 BUDGET
Office of City Clerk December 1 , 1970
Mayor Avery Garrett led the Flag Salute and Pledge of Allegiance .
This being the date set , and public notice having been duly published and
posted according to law, the special hearing meeting of the Renton City
Council was called to order at 8 :00 p.m. in the Council Chambers of the
Renton Municipal Building. Mayor Garrett announced the purpose of the
meeting was to consider adoption of the 1971 Budget for the City of Renton .
ROLL CALL OF COUNCIL SCHELLERT, DELAURENTI , PERRY, STREDICKE , GRANT,
AND BRUCE. CLYMER ARRIVED LATER DURING THE
MEETING .
PUBLIC HEARING COMMENTS Mayor Garrett invited public comments . Mr . Larry
McKibben , Wn . State Council of County and City
Mr. Larry McKibben Employees , AFL-CIO , and Local 21R Representative ,
Representing Local recalled prior wage negotiations with the mayor ,
21R and last Saturday with the Council , resulting in
indication that a 5% wage increase , 4 reclassifica-
tions , wage step increases and moneys to be set
aside for a health and welfare plan , were to be
effected . Noting list of proposed revisions by
the Council to the Mayor 's preliminary budget , he
cautioned that , if adopted , the question of unfair
practice arises , it being felt the process of col-
lective bargaining which was done in good faith
has been destroyed , and such action to be resisted
with all legal measures available .
Mr . Bruce Phillips , Mr . Bruce Phillips , Chairman , Renton Fire Dept .
Fire Department Wage Committee , outlined percentages asked for in
Wage Committee other cities and by other bargaining units , all
much greater than the 5% requested in Renton which
although below the national cost of living index ,
was felt under present economic conditions to be
a just and fair amount due , as had been included
in the balanced budget submitted by the Mayor .
It was felt as shown by low fire loss , that the
department is doing a good job and the lesser
wage proposed by the Council was not justifiable ,
along with inclusion of an emergency aid vehicle
and deletion of manpower required to man same .
Mr . Arnold Hubner, Mr . Arnold Hubner , Chairman , Police Officer ' s
Police Officer ' s Guild Wage Committee , recalled meetings with
Guild Wage Committee the Mayor and Council and negotiations wherein
economic situation was duly acknowledged and
5% increase therefore requested by the two uni-
formed groups reluctantly , but in agreement with
the Mayor . Sustaining of livelihood had been felt
to be more important than many budgeted items ,
but the 5% had been determined a fair increase
under the circumstances . The $30. 00 across the
board proposal was to again bring inequity to
ratio of differential between patrolman and
supervisor which had finally been properly
established heretofore .
Mr . Kay Johnson , Mr . Kay Johnson , Manager , GR C. of C. , inquired
NOW
Greater Renton concerning King County-Seattle Tourist Bureau
Chamber of Commerce request for fund assistance , requesting that, if
granted, the same be allowed the Renton Business
Community . Council President Schellert advised
the Council has not acted to add any funds for
the tourist bureau .
Tom Teasdale , Mr . Tom Teasdale , Chairman , Renton Park Board ,
Park Board of 506 South 15th Street , on behalf of the Board;
noted many items had not been requested in view
of economic conditions and that this was a time
for belt tightening and getting along on available
funds , it being important to keep everyone working .

RENTON CITY COUNCIL
Page 2.
PUBLIC HEARING COMMENTS (Cont . )
Mr. Jim Phelan , Mr. Jim Phelan , Renton Police Department , recalled
Police Guild that rank differential had been re-established last
year and the Council at that timeurged nothing be
done to change the spread, which it was in fact now
upsetting itself. The 5% included in the Mayor 's
Preliminary budget was deemed fair and equitable .
COUNCIL ACTION Councilman Stredicke inquired concerning public
presentation of the budget. City Clerk Nelson
reported the public had been advised both by
publications in the local newspapers and along
with legal publications the notice had been posted
as required by law advising that the budget had
been filed and was available to the public upon
request . In response , nearly all copies on hand
had been distributed. Mayor Garrett confirmed
copies were furnished for evaluation and hearing
tonight was for suggestions for changes to the
Mayor's budget along with any other comments which
might be offered.
MOVED BY SCHELLERT, SECONDED BY GRANT, TO ADOPT THE
MAYOR 'S PRELIMINARY BUDGET WITH 46 AMENDMENTS BY
COUNCIL PER LIST DISTRIBUTED THIS EVENING. (Attached)
Discussion ensued. Council President Schellert
pointed out deletion of 5% increase and addition
instead,of $30. 00 across the board increase; provision
for a salary study; contingency fund allocation of
$40 ,000 for making salary adjustments in ranges as
may be needed, to be effected July 1 . This to con-
cern merit and not automatic pay increment steps .
Mr . McKibben noted futility of collective bargaining
this action reducing status to hat in hand begging.
Further discussion included manner of conducting
salary study , prior study , some work from which will
not need duplicating , outside consulting, Bellevue
study and good wage plan results . Problems facing
the Council with regard to maintaining all employees
and yet providing satisfactory increase , certain in-
equities needing to be resolved and economic crisis
were noted.
Mr. Harold Caldwell
Police Guild Officer Caldwell noted many months of work by the
Guild Wage Committee and early submittal to Council
and finally mid-year council action commencing the
negotiations and subsequent negotiations through a
paid negotiator hired by the City and settlement
without arbitration for stipulation of 5% increase
and the City is now refusing to live up to moral
obligations of its own negotiator.
QUESTION WAS CALLED FOR AND THE PENDING MOTION WAS
VOTED ON AND CARRIED, ADOPTING THE AMENDED BUDGET
WITH 46 REVISIONS. MOVED BY PERRY, SECONDED BY GRANT,

ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS
Proposed Drug Legislation Committee Chairman Perry submitted
Ordinance proposed Ordinance amending Title VI (Police
Regulations) of Ordinance No. 1628 entitled "Code
of General Ordinances of the City of Renton" , by
establishing a new Chapter 19 , Prohibiting the
"possession" , sale or use of narcotics and barbit-
urates-'and related activities and providing
penalties for the violation thereof. The Ordinance
had been on introductory reading on 12/14/70 and
second and final readings- were now before the body .
AUDIENCE COMMENT ON Mr. Ken Ristine , 8423 S. 115th, Renton , inquired
PROPOSED DRUG LAWS as to how the legislation would affect the Berry
House as concerns those present at the house and
under the influence of drugs , which has become the
more or less exclusive catering routine at this time
as the Ordinance refers to a place of resort .
City Attorney Shellan advised that the ordinance
is to be enforced the same for the Berry House as
for another private residence; that the law cannot
be selectively enforced nor can exceptions be made.
Search warrant can ,be secured and arrests made in
cases where persons were there in defeat of the
purpose of the house and upon repeats the police
have obligation to stop the activity; enforcement
otherwise is no different and has the same safeguurde
as the house next door .

ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS (Cont . )
Drug Ordinance Comment Milly Layman , Asst . Director of Berry House ,
and Discussion noted up to 20 persons may be there at once
under the influence of drugs to get confidence
or help. and if medical attention is needed she
or another adult on duty would handle same .
She wondered if they would now run the risk
of the police coming in , such action to defeat
the purpose of the house , the people presently
knowing they are allowed to plug in for medical
or psychiatric help .
Councilman Schellert acknowledged valid and
commendable aspects of the Berry House and
Councilman Stredicke commented that the pro-
posed ordinance is to allow for local juris-
diction so people do not have to go into
Superior Court , the provisions already in effect
under existing State Law.
Police Chief Williams confirmed that nothing
is changed as far as law enforcement is con-
cerned as arrests can be made under present law
but that action is a matter of policy . The
police are not expertise in theraputics and
where there is successful group effort nothing
will be done to disturb such relationship. It
was noted service is given as may be needed in
assisting to the hospital and that confidence
in the law enforcement agency is otherwise
necessary .
Mr. Joe Sporcic presented newspaper article
from a panel discussion which meeting Council-
man Perry advised he had attended where it was
concluded that legislation cannot stop the
activity as long as people want to sell they
are going to find a market , but that the legis-
lation will help deter and make people more
hesitant in such transactions .
Councilman Clymer objected to Sec. 6-1916 inasmuch
as he felt a friend trying to help might be found
guilty by association in being present where some-
one is under the influence. He urged deletion of
this section . MOVED BY STREDICKE, SECONDED BY
CLYMER , TO REFER THE ORDINANCE BACK TO THE LEGISLA-
TION COMMITTEE FOR FURTHER STUDY.
Mr . Frank Storey urged that people be invited to
the Police and Courts as everyone is looking for
a tool to work with and having primary interest ,
these agencies might benefit by criticism and
suggestions which may be offered .
Mrs . Margaret Evans urged the Council not to delete
any part of the ordinance as modification would
weaken it, noting good judgment is to be used by
the police . She also felt open-minded adults
who have taken time to look into the problem and
to get training might help give the young people '"
the support and understanding they seek, noting
news item indicating adults are not wanted there .
Mr . Mike Low, 609 S. W. 3rd Place advised that 3
or 4 adults are present at all times at the Berry
House. Mr. James Grenfell , 4400 N.E. Sunset , Berry
House Director , expressed concern for those people
wanting to get help and noted Berry House does not
have all the answers , no one does , but that they
have been operating for some time , doing more right
than wrong and helping a considerable number of kids .
He favors the ordinance at this standpoint but
expressed willingness to meet for discussions , noting
such legislation to be a community matter with all
persons needing to be involved. THE PENDING MOTION
WAS PUT TO VOTE AT THIS TIME AND CARRIED.

to serve this area and vicinity .

the Edmonds Avenue N.E. area was signed by owners
of 45% of abutting property , which percentage is
less than required to obligate the City to create

Grant : I would like the following entered in the
record. "That it is my belief that a transfer of
funds from Traffic Engineering Department to
Position of Public Works Administrator should be
submitted by the Mayor 's Office at the earliest
opportunity . Until that matter is clarified and
Council knows for certain where the traffic engineer
is ,ar,,1 drawing salary which is accountable to a
certain fund ; whether traffic or public works .
This has to be clarified so council is able to
act by law which states if a man is working , funds
have to be accounted for by the Council and the
Mayor . We have to account to the public and
answer questions . Is he serving as Traffic
Engineer and getting paid from that , or Executive ,
or where is he receiving funds from. One other
item has to be resolved. I realize you have made
a temporary or interin assignment of department
functions . The duties of a department head have
been assigned to the Engineer and we need something
other than a news release . There is no assigning of
a job to the engineering department in your letter
This was only in the news release - - -" The Mayor
advised a memo had gone to the City Engineer and
copies would be furnished the council . THE PENDING
MOTION SUBSEQUENTLY CARRIED, REFERRING THE MATTER
TO THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
