COMMITTEE REPORTS:
OLD BUSINESS_
Councilman Hulse, Chairman, of the Ways and Means Committee, presented his Committee
report which was read by,the Clerk as follows:
Re: Referral of 8-12-63, Funding of Dale-McLendon property - to be purchased by
City for use as off-street parking lot. ($30,000.00)
It is recommended that the; $20,000.00 now in the 1962 Budget, Parking Meter Fund,
Capital Outlay Acct. 7036.223, be applied on the purchase of the property and that
the additiional $10,000.00 be borrowed from the Cedar River Acquisition Fund, to be
repaid ,from the Parking Meter Fund no later than December 31, 1963.
Moved by Reid, seconded by Trimm, to concur in the recommendation of the Ways and Means
Committee. Inquiry on the question was raised as to adequacey of time for amortization
and discussion disclosed the revenue to be adequate, which the fund would produce.
Mr. Charles Shane addressed the Council inquiring in his capacity as a taxpayer,
relative to provision by the City of parking facilities for downtown business areas to
the benefit of merchants in that area when funds were not contributed to facilities at
any of the shopping centers, and inquiring regarding use of tax funds for this purpose.
The Council advised that the merchants are paying for the paving and meter installa-
tion with the city retaining title to the properties and Councilman Reid advised that
the property was in temporary u'se as parking facilities but was acquired pursuant to
future plans, for civic center use contingent upon development of the 701 plans. Also,
funding has not been from tax funds but expended from Parking Meter revenues, therefore
the purchases will be funded solely from self-supporting moneys which indrectly are how-
ever public derived funds, all within the Parking Meter Fund. Councilwoman Dahlquist
advocated endorsement of the additional parking facilities for the good of the community.
The pending motion carried and was subsequently moved by Hulse, seconded by Dahlquist,
t®refer the matter to the Ordinance Committee for the proper Resolution. Carried.
I

1. Proposed park in May Creek area - The committee has been doing extensive
investigati4 and research and to date atract map has been produced showing ownerships
and size of the various tracts and contacts are being made regarding availability of
certain parcels which the Committee feels to be desirable for such park purposes. Attention
was called to; the fact that sizable acreage will be needed for a park of this type. Further
reports will be made intermittently.
2. Regarding cleaning of Cedar River Park area - - Cost estimates have been requested
from the various departments concerned upon receipt of which recommendations will_.be made
for referral to Ways and Means.

Hon. Mayor, Members of City Council and Planning Commission and
Planning Director Of the City of Renton:
' I
Firstly, we wish to express our appreciation for the visit of
Mr„ Dave Jensen, planning Director, at the April meeting of the
Kennydale Community Club and his maps, slides and talk on the
"701 Program"e
At the next meeting, a discussion on the subject was held,
Beitng aware of the building program in our area during the
past' several. years, and with more progress inevitable, the dis-
cussion turned to ,the need of recreation area for the folks in
the Kennydale-McKnight Area,
As a conclusion, the members voted at the regular meeting
in May, to respectfully petition the officials of the City of
Renton, to acquire property in the area for park and recreation-
al purposes and further voted to suggest the area close to the
Memorial Hall which has considerable undeveloped land .(to the
East and North of 'said hall)' which still has considerable undev-
elpoed land.; being commonly referred to as "The Devil 's Elbow
Area,"
Your attention ' to this matter will be greatly appreciated,
Yours truly,
Claudine Holmes
(Mrs. John Holmes)

- We, the undersigned, being resident voters of the Kennydale, Hillcrest and Haze�� o odn igh-
borhoods, said a:ceas,roughly,surrounding the territory herein proposed as site-for a wilderness
park, do petition the City of Renton to proceed to secure gcreage for that purpose in the gen •
-
eral area herein;described: ,
A suitable acreage to accommodate bridle paths, bicycle and nature trails, picnic areas and,
eventually, overnight camping for juvenile groups, shall be obtained and set aside in the canyon
created by May and Honey Creeks and lying generally east of 116th Ave. S.H., downhill from what
is locally designated as the "Devil's Elbow,"and on maps of the area as a continuation' of S.H.
97th St. .
6 wish to note, at this point, that the stream designated "May Creek" is, traditionaJJ. ,
posted as a "Juvenile Bashing Stream," and is generally thus regarded by children of the area,
m, y-
though the land through which it meanders is, ct all 2aSeS3, private property. An area actually
designated as a lark would make it possible to clarify in our junior citizens' minds the differ-
ence between private and public areasr,and individual responsibility in relation to each.
