KURT HERZOG, Federal Way News, JOE TURNER, Morning News Tribune, and LEON ESPINOZA, Seattle Times. Henry W. Dun, 29849-9th Avenue S.W., Federal Way - regarding short plat on his property and current zoning. He is requesting that the council allow him to short plat even though current zoning would not allow such platting because of square footage of his property is not adequate. Per Councilmember HANDMACHER, he explained that due to the fact that the property is in a zoned area of not less than 15,000 minimum lot size and his lot is less than that require- ment, the short platting would not be allowed since it is illegal under both County and City zoning. Nancy Co1e, 4059 S.W. 321st, Federal Way - on behalf of St. Francis Hospital she extended a personal invitation to the Council to attend their 4th Annual Hospital Gala on May 19, 1990.

There had previously been scheduled two plats for hearing on May 10, 1990, Parkwood Campus and Campus Ridge--he was informed by Kay Shoudy today that the Parkwood Campus, in fact, has not had a hearing before a hearing examiner yet, so it is not, in his opinion, appropriate for the Council to be conducting a hearing prior to it going before a hearing examiner.

After that he has scheduled another meeting on May 18, 1990, at 7:00 a.m., with agenda to be announced. Tomorrow at 5:30 p.m., he will be meeting with John Marchione from our staff--he has been assigned by City Manager McFall to be the staff person responsible to the Human Services Committee at this time--he and John will be going over seven enhancement fundings that the committee approved, so that they can enter into agreements and get dollars into the hands of the agencies. Counci1member GATES, Chairman of Budget/Finance/Insurance, reported they will be meeting April 27th at 7:00 a.m.--agenda for that meeting consists of continuation of last meeting's discussion regarding licensing of seasonal and transitional businesses. They will be looking at what some other cities have done--to see if we want to be different or the same or a combination perhaps. We will also be discussing how we will be approaching the 1991 budget--since the new City Manager is on board, it would be nice to know how he approaches things, so we can work together to mutually set that up. Many of you have heard about the conversion of our loan from the State from a $50,000 loan to a grant to a loan--she just wanted to clarify this subject for people in the audience--the City's loan of $50,000 in the 1990 budget has been a loan from the beginning and never changed from that loan--essentially what this does is keeps our budget exactly where it was set up originally, and it will be repaid in a timely fashion. The grant was item vetoed yesterday by the Governor. Councilmember MARKS, Chairman of Public Services Committee, reported they will meet this Friday at 8:00 a.m., until about 9:00 a.m., with Jerry Graham who will talk about recycling. Then they will meet the Friday after that, May 4th, from about 8:00 a.m. to 9-9:30 a.m., with some concerned citizens in the Mark Twain Elementary School area regarding traffic problems and lights and signs. On May 10th (Thursday) at 7:30 a.m., they will meet to discuss an ordinance concerning massage parlors; and will also meet the following Thursday, May 17th at 7:30 a.m., with agenda to be announced. We will probably act on the massage parlor ordinance at the council meeting on May 15th. Counci1member STEAD, Chairman of Facilities/Personnel, reported they met last Wednesday, at which time they went over the proposals from the two facilities that the City might take over--the City Manager recommended that we enter into some negotiations with the Financial Center at 336th & 1st Avenue--the committee has authorized City Manager McFall to enter into preliminary negotiations with that site with the possibility of moving City Hall there. Our next meeting will be May 9th--we had scheduled a meeting for tomorrow morning, which has been cancelled since the person who was making -4- Special Meeting/Study Session April 24,1990 (continued) COMMITTEE REPORTS (continued) Facilities/ Personnel Parks, Recreation & Cultural Arts NEW BUSINESS ANNOUNCEMENTS AUDIENCE COMMENT RECESS INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION the presentation is unable to be at the meeting--the next regularly scheduled meeting will be May 9th. Counci1member WEBSTER, Chairman of Parks, Recreation & Cultural Arts, reported their last meeting was Tuesday, April 17th, at which time Randy Pearson from State Parks was present and they discussed the Brook1ake Community Club property, which is included in the Open Space Bond Program--for potential acquisition as part of the Hylebos Wetlands project. At the conclusion of that discussion, the committee's consenus was to leave that parcel in the process at least through the title report and appraisal phase and then we will take another look at it and decide whether or not we want to ask State Parks to proceed on that acquisition. Our next meeting will be Wednesday, May 2nd, at 7:30 a.m., in Council Chambers--agenda will be the initial screening of the consultants who have submitted proposals for the Parks & Recreation Comprehensive Plan; it is the intent of the committee to narrow that list down to three or four and those will be turned over to the City Manager for final review and recommendation. Also, Chairman WEBSTER asked if we have heard anything regarding insurance for "Family Fest"? City Manager McFALL responded, "no", but he would follow up on it. Councilmember HANDMACHER, asked to respond to Warren Smith's request for a mini-golf course--he felt Mr. Smith had two concerns: (1) that he felt he wasn't treated fairly by staff in Planning Dept. and HANDMACHER explained that he should take that matter up with City Manager McFALL; and (2)Whether or not the City Council could grant him some special dispensation because of the nature of his project and HANDMACHER told him that under the City's Codes the only way they could do that would be by virtue of a variance request-- there is a process for doing that through the Code--so HANDMACHER explained to Smith that that would be his only remedy and the only way the Council could do anything about his request. Counci1member GATES reported that she would be speaking to the Lakewood Chamber of Commerce on Thursday regarding incorporation. Mayor ERTEL reported she would be speaking to the University Place people on Thursday evening regarding incorporation. Councilmember HANDMACHER reported he had already spoken with the University Place group. Mayor ERTEL reported that Thursday morning, one of the television stations will be taping interviews with Counci1member HANDMACHER and herself regarding incorporation. No additional comments from the audience. Mayor ERTEL announced the Council would be recessing into Executive Session at 7:40 p.m., to discuss pending litigation and that they would need about half an hour, which means they will reconvene -5- Special Meeting/Study Session April 24,1990 (continued) RECESS (continued) MEETING RECONVENED ADJOURNMENT about 8:10 p.m., and rather than having the audience move, the Council will move into the City Manager's Office.
