Having lived in that area since 1905, may I offer some observations and a protest for your consideration. Blocks #39 and #40, of Latimers Lake Washington plat was our home site and portions of these two blocks are still owned by members of the family. During our years of residence there, we had ample opportunity to have had three of the bordering streets vacated- namely South 128th and South 129th, between 90th Avenue South and Rainier Avenue and 91st South between South 128th and South 129th. No doubt we would have profited some what by so doing and certainly during the earlier years there were no appearant need for streets because there was no roadway on Rainier Avenue prior to 1914. The family felt that as these streets had been ded- icated to the county for future public use, when needed, they should remain so dedicated. The need to open and improve these streets is here now and certainly not a time for a give away and closure forever. The only ones to benefit by vacation would be the ad- jacent property owners who would each get a 30 ' by 140' lot of high value land for free. Let us not forget this is public domain intended for public use and so dedicated and as it is not impractic,4 L to build a road way there, it most certainly should be retained for that purpose. Between Bryn Mawr and Renton Avenue is a little over one mile and there is only one thru street open to Rainier Avenue in that distance and that is South 129th. There is a need 'now to open and improve South 128th between 90th South and Rainier Avenue to accomodate traffic and provide another and r r- - page two and more direct outlet to Rainier Avenue for the many motbr- ists now residing in the West Hill area. Now that the sewers are laid there will be much more building in that area both in the immediate vicinity and on plats and projects a few blocks west of which you are aware. It is more opened and improved streets that are needed here and especialy South 128th between 90th Avenue South and ' Rainier Avenue and not extended used car lots and enlarged gas stations via street vacation. Therefore, I strongly protest the vacation of any portion of South 128th in that area. Respectfully, J . .

The Clerk read the original request for the vacation, the City Engineer's report that 100% of the property owners were represented thereon and the Planning Commission recommendation that the street not be vacated. As there were no further written communications the Mayor called for verbal comment. Mr. Tom Nelson, in regard for present lack of adequate access to the subject area, stated his opposition to the vacation. A report from the Street and Alley Committee and City Engineer recommended that the vacation be denied inasmuch as South 128th is the last remaining street which might be opened to the west of Rainier Avenue between Renton Avenue and Bryn Mawr and could be an important part of the final street pattern in subsequent development of the area. Moved by Trimm, seconded by Poli, to concur in the recommendation of the Street and Alley Committee and the City Engineer. Carried. The Hearing was closed.

The Clerk read the request by Petition of abutting property owners along with City Engineer's report that 100% of property owners were represented thereon. A Street and Alley Committee report recommended that the Vacation be denied inasmuch as 87th Ave. South is presently a dead end street and South 126th affords the best possibility of developing an additional access to 87th Avenue South. Also, according to the City Engineering Department survey, there are over 50 single family lots under development west of 87th Avenue South which may demand that further access be provided to the area. Mayor Aliment invited comment and as there was no response, it was moved by Dullahant, seconded by Hulse, to concur in the recommendation of the Street and Alley Committee and City Engineer. Carried. The Hearing was declared closed.

Relative to proposal to vacate South 128th Street between Rainier Avenue on the East and 91st Avenue South on the West, it was recommended that the street not be vacated inasmuch as construction of the Street is considered to be a practical possibility and such street may prove to be essential to an adequate circulation pattern within the area. Opinion..wes expressed that._this communication should be read at a hearing and it was moved by IHulse, seconded by Dahlquist to hold this communication pending report of the Street and Alley Committee to whom the matter had previously been referred.

After the recess roll call was taken with all Councilmen present as previously listed. President of the Council Reid requested that Mrs. Dahlquist make report of the findings of the Street and Alley Committee relative to the bid on the Street Sweeper. Councilwoman Dahlquist advised that the Committee recommended acceptance of the bid of Sahlberg Equipment, Inc. to furnish one Mobil Sweeper Model 2TE3, Twin Engine, com- plete as per specifications; price $13,456.00, less trade in on 1958 Model 550 Wayne Sweeper, $2,700.00, plus 4% Sales Tax, totalling $11,294.00 with delivery approximately 30 days from order. Moved by Poli, seconded by Custer, to concur in.the recommendation of the Street and Alley Committee. Discussion ensued relative to the specifications allowing only one bidder and Purchasing Agent;Vern Church., reported that after thorough investigation and check with other cities; this particular sweeper was preferred as it has superior safety factors in the 4-wheel braking system and the brushes turn over faster serving the City much more satisfactorily. .Councilman Custer added that the maintenance problem would be resolved and called attentionito the $7,000.00 spent on the old sweeper. Attention was called to the fact that Seattle has several such sweepers and Mr. Church advised that Sahlberg was the only manufacturer at the present time of the four wheel sweeper, and it was felt to be in the best public and city interests to act accordingly.
