CORRESPONDENCE A letter from Mayor Clymer was presented reporting the 1990 financial Finance: 1990 Financial outlook without the major construction at Boeing and PACCAR; and Outlook indicating the completion of an economic analysis for the years 1991 through 1995. The letter further reported that a formal administrative recommendation on budget alternatives will be presented to the Council in mid-June. Mayor Clymer stated that the letter was for information regarding the financial position at this time, and he had requested each department reduce their 1990 budget 2.4% of the remaining balance. When that material is ready and the second quarter revenue reports are in, a presentation will be made in June. He added that the City is still negotiating with PACCAR and Boeing. Upon inquiry from Councilman Tanner, Finance Director Clements explained revenue projections from Boeing and PACCAR projects contained in the 1990 preliminary budget. He indicated that the 8% reserve was lowered to fund projects added mid-year 1989 and 1990, but the projected increase in 1992-1994 property taxes would offset the dip. Upon further inquiry, Mr. Clements advised that excluding the shortfall from Boeing and PACCAR, the City has experienced a strong economy which has increased its financial base. The Administration is currently reviewing budget reductions to offset financial impacts from possible cancellation of the two major projects in order to meet shortfalls of approximately $600,000 for the remainder of ]990, and $1.3 million for 1991. Councilman Stredicke inquired how much money had been spent on the North Soos Creek annexation study. Mayor Clymer answered approximately $200,000 - 250,000 has been spent so far, which leaves a balance of approximately $70,000 - 75,000. Upon additional Council inquiry as to why the City has spent so much money without a 10% petition from the people who would be a part of the annexation, Mayor Clymer recalled the mid-year budget meeting when the question was raised whether the City should continue vyith the study for the annexation, and it was der,ided to continue the study, ;�lus add an additional $100,000 to the budget for that project.

MOVED BY NELSON, SECONDED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. Communitv Services Committee Services Committee Chairman Zimmerman reported that the Committee Committee met last week on the North Soos Creek Annexation and did not Annexation: North Soos have an official report at this time. She requested additional input from Creek (Fairwood) Council regarding the annexation since there seems to be clear evidence of opposition and unclear evidence of support. Council discussion was held expressing the following concerns: absence of a 10% petition or some firm commitment from the annexation area; amount of money expended and additional cost if the study continues; why the study has continued so long and no decision made. Preference was expressed for the study to continue because of the financial investment expended and suggestion made that fact cards be distributed on individual issues such as police protection, sewer, library, etc. for interested parties who have received misinformation. Another suggestion was made to petition the three areas, Cascade Vista, Fairwood, and Petrovisky separately, or hold a public meeting in the subject area to discuss pros and cons with staff and the area residents. Council expressed the need for a basic plan with specifics in order to resolve the issue for those undecided citizens. Also, the possibility of an elected community council with veto power over land use decisions in the subject area was suggested. Upon Council inquiry regarding annexation without the 10% petition, Mayor Clymer responded that the situation is unique. Annexations normally are the result of developers who wish to annex for the services the City offers such as sewer, water, etc. Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler suggested that Administration give a presentation on how the annexation fits into the Growth Management Act in order to receive additional funding from the State since this is a growth issue and the decision should be based on the good for the City. MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY STREDICKE, COUNCIL REQUEST ADMINISTRATION REPORT BACK TO COUNCIL IN TWO WEEKS (6/4/90) WITH A PLAN FOR GROWTH MANAGEMENT AND THE NORTH SOOS CREEK AREA, AND SOME BASIC INFORMATION ON THE PROS AND CONS AS TO WHETHER THIS IS A GOOD MOVE FOR THE CITY OF RENTON BASED ON THE INFORMATION AT PRESENT. CARRIED. Councilwoman Zimmerman questioned why the North Soos Creek issue was in Community Services Committee rather than Planning and Development since it is a land use item. Moved by Zimmerman, seconded by Edwards, Council refer this matter to the Planning and Development Committee. Roll call: 3 Ayes: Zimmerman, Keolker-Wheeler, Edwards. 3 Nays: Nelson, Tanner, Stredicke. Motion failed. Councilman Tanner stated that he opposed the North Soos Creek study being referred to Planning and Development Committee because, in his opinion, a subcommittee is not the proper place for such an issue. He noted that when a decision must be made in that area, staff usually sets up a meeting with full Council.
