Repair Options for the City Hall Courtyard: Steven Wilcox stated that the $35,000
budgeted for these repairs is intended to replace brick and panels that are damaged.
He is concerned that this means of repair will be damaged rather quickly if vehicles
continue to be allowed in the area. He asked for other options. One possibility raised
was removing all the existing material and replacing it with a single, stamped surface
that can be driven on. Wilcox was tasked with determining the cost for this and bringing
the figures back to a later meeting.
Airport Advisory Committee: Rodger Campbell asked what, if any, authority the
committee has. The City Attorney will be asked about the committee meeting without
staff, if their input is only advisory in nature.
Muckleshoot 2002 Compact: This topic will be brought up at the next meeting.
Police Department Range: Jim Kelly said a bid for a fence is going out. He was
asked whether the range proposed for the new public safety building might be able to
generate revenue and help pay for itself, and he said it was a possibility, although it
would be difficult to project how much. He said there are varieties of ways such a range
can be built/managed which would affect the generation of revenue.
Overview of 1524 Randall Avenue: Commander Karnofski presented a synopsis of
the numerous calls and contacts at this address and said the property is, at present, in
the process of going back to prior owners. The current property owner is no longer
living on the premises, but it is inhabited by others - in spite of inadequate/non-existent
sanitary facilities. Mike Dunbar, Codes Compliance Officer, has also been working on
this situation.
Questions were raised on the status of a noise ordinance. Chief Kelly said the City
Attorney is looking at both the noise and fireworks ordinances, but no conclusions have
yet been reached, to his knowledge.
Adjournment
Chairperson Sue Singer adjourned the meeting at 6:00 p.m.
Next regular meeting is Tuesday, February 19, 2002, at 5:00 PM in Meeting Room 3.
