There were two public comments:
Steve McWilliams wished to introduce himself to the Committee. Mr. McWilliams sent a recent letter to the
City, urging Council to consider rezoning the SW 356th Street area. Mr. McWilliams will be working with
Margaret Clark on this request. Committee Member Duclos asked if this area were to be re-zoned, what
price point would new homes cost. Mr. McWilliams answered approx. $400 thousand.
Tom Heunisch, 152 S 293rd St, Federal Way – Mr. Heunisch would like to request that the City take over the
maintenance and cleaning of the storm drains on this private road (S 293rd). The storm drains are currently
clean and in good repair. Mr. Salloum will follow up with Mr. Heunisch regarding this issue.
4. BUSINESS ITEMS
A. City Limit Entrance Signs
Rick Perez provided background information on this item. Committee Chair Duclos asked for clarification on
whether the$2,400 is the cost to replace all of the signs or is it the cost per sign. Mr. Perez confirmed that the
cost to replace all signs would be approximately $2,400. There was brief comment on what the City logo
represents. Council Member Burbidge asked about a population sign. Mr. Perez said that a separate plaque
with the City’s population would be installed underneath the entrance signs. Committee Member Ferrell
asked what the size of the new signs are. Mr. Perez answered 24 x 36 inches. Darker colored signs hold up
better to dirt and weather. Mr. Perez also noted that in his opinion, the sign with the white background would
retain its color better as well as the County regularly inspects signs and replaces worn or damaged signs as
necessary.
