replace the existing Auburn Special with a 14 passenger van

the total cost, or $11,000, and 1500 annual hours should be
provided. Lea voted NO. MOTION CARRIED.
B. 1982 Block Grant Projects - Reallocation of $22,000 of ACAP
funds and $25,000 of "M" Street Sidewalk funds.
Lea wondered how the money which had been allocated to "M"
Street Sidewalk repair by the Street Committee had been
removed. Pat Dugan explained the a viable project request
had to be submitted to King County by the end of the month
or 1983 funds could be jeopardized.
Kurle expressed he shared Lea's concerns. Dugan explained
further the monies reallocated to the Wayland Hotel, South
County Clinic Improvements, Fulmer Field Lighting and
Housing Repair were projects which had gotten through last
year and would help insure successful application for 1983
"Needs" monies. Kurle said he was opposed to removal of
ACAP funding also. Dugan stated this was a similar
situation as the "M" Street project.

B. 1982 Block Grant Projects (Cont.)
Hitchcock said he felt the sidewalks were desperately needed
and felt King County would not look down on it.
Craig noted if by the end of the month the funds were not
committed the City would lose them and maybe lose 1983 funds
also. He stated he was supportive of the sidewalk project
but there was not enough time to go out for bids and commit
the funds. Craig encouraged the Street Committee to start a
program for the core area. He explained the Fulmer Field
lighting and housing repair were projects which were ready
to go.
Lea reviewed the circumstances which led to the Street to
embark on the original concept within the core area to
replace segments of broken sidewalks. He noted the staff
had been directed to prioritize the projects in the older
part of the City in the core area. He stated the staff's
comments indicated the City had until next spring to spend
the monies prior to the allocation of 1983 funds which was
July 1. He said it would be impossible to pour concrete in
November or December let alone January and February. He
felt someone was not coming up with the absolute facts.
Hitchcock asked Dugan if the 1982 money had to be committed
by the end of the month. Dugan stated the 1982 monies do
not have to be committed by the end of the month. However,
if the project was not a viable project it could jeopardize
eligibility for "Needs" funds for 1983. Dugan noted the
Fulmer Field funds had had approval in the past and they
knew King County.would approve it.
' Kurle asked if the Planning & Community Development
Committee took the project of broken sidewalks into con-
sideration. Craig responded if there had been a project
that was viable they would have, however, no data was pre-
sented.
Larson noted he was probably the only one who was on neither
committee. He could see the Street Committee was probably
working on a program but through a lack of communication it
did not get to the Planning & Community Development
Committee so they did not know there was any work being
done on it. He said he was not aware from discussion on the
Council floor that the Street Committee was going out for
bids on it to have it approved by the end of this month. He
added the Planning & Community Development Committee evi-
dently had taken the $25,000 Sidewalk funds and $22,000 ACAP
funds and reallocated the monies because neither had a
viable project set up.
Kurle said the whole thing was a poor way of doing it.
He felt next year there should be a Council workshop or
something. Mayor Roegner stated a workshop or something
could be arranged to provide a broader discussion of the
matter.
Colburn noted it was not the intent of the Committee to come
before the Council at the last minute. He said at this
point the problem was a matter of whether to reallocate the
funds or stand a chance of losing money. He stated the

problem with the ACAP funding was the same as the sidewalks
in not having a viable contract. He suggested it would be
good to find a way to reach out to other possible projects.
Ellen Kroppe, Director of ACAP, stated they had been unsuc-
cessful in organizing the project to provide additional
child care facilities. She wanted to thank the Council,
however, in their support.
MOTION by Wisner, SECOND by Craig, to reallocate the $22,000
of "ACAP" funds and the $25,000 of "M" Street Sidewalk funds
to the following projects; Wayland Hotel - $5,000; South
County Clinic Improvements - $3,000; Fulmer Field Lighting -
$20,000; and Housing Repair - $19,000. Hitchcock and Lea
voted NO. MOTION CARRIED.
