however, it will be one of the products of the study.

address parking shortages at most of their transit centers. They are trying to
ensure there is parking available for all transit riders.

4. CITIZEN COMMENT
Marvin Eckfeldt spoke regarding the Human Services funding for King County
Sexual Assault Resource Center (KCSARC). The agency has served 285 clients
from Federal Way so far this year. The proposed reduction in funding equated to
approximately 10 legal advocacy cases per year. He encouraged the Council to
reconsider the funding amount allocated to KCSARC.
Donald Barovic recommended the Councit write a letter on behalf of the Federal
Way Historical Society to see if they can get their account trans#erred to a residential
account rather than a business account. He remarked on a recent telephone pole
replacement which took three different agencies to switch the wires to the new pole.
He feels this is a waste of time and resources.
Joan Turnow Communities in Schools Board Member reported that CIS is a drop-out
prevention program. They partner with the Federal Way School District for the
mentoring program. Last week the CIS took students to Weyerhaeuser for a field
trip.
