ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS:
Moved by Hulse, seconded by Schellert that a recess be called to give the Law and
Ordinance Committee time to meet on pending matters. The motion carried.
Following the meeting, roll call was taken with all Council members present as
previously stated, with the exception of Councilman Trimm.
Law and Ordinance Committee Chairman Morris, presented the amendatory ordinance
on the Wallace Wilson Rezone which was read by the Clerk. Moved by Morris, seconded
by Perry, that the ordinance be place on second and final reading. Carried. Subsequent
to the reading it was moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Gianini, that Ordinance No. 2140
be adopted as read. Roll Call vote was taken with all Council members voting, "Aye.."
A proposed resolution was read authorizing the belowmentioned Departments to borrow
from the Cedar River Acquisition Fund to enable proper administration of said
Departments pending receipt of tax monies, as follows: Current Fund - $50,000;
Park Fund - $25,000; Street Fund - $30,000; and Library Fund - $10,000. Loans to
be repaid not later than December 31, 1965, bearing interest at the rate of 4 1/2%.
Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Poli, to adopt Resolution No. 1296 as read:
Carried.
The Law and Ordinance Committee presented a proposed resolution wherein it was
noted that the Equipment Rental Fund has received monies in excess of the estimated
revenues, which funds have been received in settlement of a certain accident claim •
involving a police vehicle and hereby requesting appropriation of this excess revenue
in the Equipment Rental Fund, Account 3600/606, in the sum of $1,984.20. Moved by
Hulse, seconded by Delaurenti, that Resolution No. 1297 be adopted as read: Carried.
Councilman Morris presented a proposed resolution requesting a transfer of funds
required to meet certain obligations and expenditures which were not foreseeable
at the time of the adoption of the 1965 Budget. Therefore; it is requested that
the City Clerk and City Treasurer be authorized to make the following transfer:
FROM: Account 1200, Travel Expense 504 - $600.00, UNTO: Account 1400, Vacation
Relief and Overtime 130 - $600.00. Moved by Poli, seconded by Hulse, that
Resolution No. 1298 be adopted as read. Carried.
A proposed ordinance was presented by the Law and Ordinance Committee, which would
restrict the parking on the west side of Main Street between its intersection with
Second Avenue and Third Avenue, and on both sides of Main Street.between its
intersections with Walla Walla Avenue and Fourth Avenue between the hours of 3:30 p.m.
and 5:30 p.m. , Monday through Friday. It was the recommendation of the Committee that
this proposed ordinance be placed on first reading. Following the reading of the
proposed ordinance, it was moved by Poli, seconded by Perry to concur in the recommen-
dation of the Law and Ordinance Committee and that this proposed ordinance be placed
on second and final:reading. Carried. Councilwoman Dahlquist reminded the Council
of several hearings held in the Bast wherein interested parties presented numerous
protests and at that time Council decided against this action. In her opinion it
was unfair to adopt this ordinance now without another hearing. to give those people
an opportunity to be heard. Councilman Garrett replied that this earlier action had
been referred to the Street and Alley Committee, the hearings conducted, and then
further study was made resulting in the Committee's recommendation that this parking
restriction should now be imposed. Councilman Poli indicated he understood this matter
had been held in abeyance because it was felt that completion of the freeway would help .
alleviate the traffic congestion. Councilman Perry noted that this matter has been
publicized suffiently in the past few weeks to afford people an ample opportunity
to protest. It should be pointed out there are only a few business firms here and
the City has provided off-street parking which is not being utilized. If this
restriction is imposed, these people would have only another 100 feet to go to
the off-street parking lots and the reduced congestion would off-set any inconvenience
to these people. Councilman Hulse reminded the Council that since the original hearings,
additional parking has been provided and this it is imperative that parking be eliminated
during these hours. Upon request .Mr. Bennett outlined the off-street parking areas
on the map designated in red: Lot 1, 20 spaces; Lot 2, 21 spaces; and Lot 3, 41
spaces; with an additional 14 spaces to remain on the east side of Main Street. The
green area indicated the parking which would be eliminated, a total of 37 spaces.
It was further pointed out that this is a two-lane street carrying a traffic load
of 15,000 cars per day and that numerous accidents occur in this area, which situation
should be relieved by the restriction of parking. The restriction should not hinder
normal business activities such as delivery service since only three or four trucks

Minutes of the Renton City Council Meeting (cont.) 3-22-65
COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS: (cont.)
OLD BUSINESS: (cont.)
Mr. Robert Huebner, of 10612 - 108th Avenue S.E. , introduced himself and stated that
he was present with reference to Ordinance No. 2139, which had been passed by the
Council last week, which contained an incorrect description and asked if this error
could be corrected at this Council meeting. After some discussion on this matter
the City Attorney advised that upon receipt of the corrected description he would
prepare an amendatory ordinance. Moved by Garrett, seconded by Hulse, that the matter
be referred to the CITY ENGINEER to furnish the corrected description for an amendatory
ordinance. It was moved by Perry, seconded by Dahlquist, to take a ten minute recess
to take care of this matter. Carried.
Following the recess, roll call was taken with all council members present as
previously listed. The previous motion was read and vote taken on the motion
carried. It was noted here that this ordinance would be presented later in the
meeting with other proposed ordinances and resolutions.
Councilman Garrett submitted the Report of the Street and Alley Committee with its
recommendations on Parking Meters and the Restriction of Parking on Main Street,
as follows: (1) Parking Meters: That the time limit on all one-hour Parking Meters
be increased to a two-hour limit. Moved by Schellert, seconded by Pedersen, to
concur in the recommendation of the Street and Alley Committee. Inquiry was made as
to the cost to the City for this change and if new dials would be required. It was
determined it would take two or three minutes for each change and new dials would
not be required, the cost would be very nominal. Councilman Delaurenti stated that
he would object if any expense at all is involved as the matter of the proposed
removal of the meters is now before the Committee of the Whole and no money should
be spent on these meters if there is a possibility they will be removed. Councilman
Garrett stated this was an attempt to relieve the parking in the down town area, and
that if it worked, it might change the minds of those desiring to have the meters
removed, the cost being nominal it would be worth the try. Upon inquiry, the Clerk
noted according to the 1964 Financial Report, there are 343 parking meters on the
streets, and 82 located in the off-street parking lots, making a total of 425.
Vote on pending motion carried. Moved by Morris, seconded by Hulse, that the matter
be referred to the LAW AND ORDINANCE COMMITTEE for drafting of an ordinance. Carried.
2) Restriction of Parking on Main Street during the P.M. peak. Due to the traffic
congestion created within the Industrial area and as a measure to relieve this
congestion, the Committee recommended that a "No Parking" restriction be imposed on
Main Street from 2nd Avenue to 4th Avenue on the west side, and from Walla Walla to
4th Avenue on the east side during the hours of 3:30 P.M. to 5:30 P.M. , Monday thru
Friday. Moved by Perry, seconded by Hulse, to concur in the recommendation of the
Street and Alley Committee. Councilman Garrett noted that the City Engineer's
recommendation to the Committee was for a ban to be employed on Main Street and 3rd
Avenue. However, it was the feeling of the committee that the ban on Main Street is
more urgently needed and also would eliminate fewer parking spaces. The parking on
3rd Avenue would be considered at a later date. Concern was voiced as to where
people would park if this restriction is imposed. At this time, the Assistant City
Engineer, was asked to report on a survey conducted by the Engineering Department
regarding the availability of parking in this area. Mr. Bennett stated the survey
indicated that sufficient parking was provided in the off-street parking lots (82
spaces) , and that on the average, only two vehicles an hour were taking advantage
of these lots. Councilman Schellert speaking in favor of this restriction, reminded
the Council that this year's budget provided for street improvements which would
increase the traffic in this area and this would make parking restriction mandatory.
Vote on pending motion carried. Moved by Garrett, seconded by Perry, to refer this
matter to the LAW AND ORDINANCE COMMITTEE for drafting of the proper ordinance.
Carried. Councilman Garrett noted that a hearing had been held on this matter sometime
ago and the City Attorney had at that time requested to prepare an ordinance, which
would be presented by the Ordinance Committee.
Councilman Garrett submitted the Street and Alley Committee report that in the near
future the City must acquire the necessary right-of-way for the westerly approach to
the North Renton Interchange and recommended, therefore, that the City proceed
immediately with the sale of the General Obligation Bonds authorized by the electorate
and this be accomplished jointly with the sale of the Water Works Utility Revenue Bonds,
It was moved by Garrett, seconded by Perry, that this matter be held until the Fire and:
Water Committee report has been presented. Carried.
