INFORMATION/DISCUSSION
Strategic Plan for Aviation: This plan was intended to set the stage for future
work programs, build relationships between aviation interests and help catalyze
discussions on the key aviation issues facing the region.
Level of Police Service Report: A series of charts and graphs showed a13%
increase in calls for service between 1999 and 2001 while the populations
increased 12.8%. Other graphs reflected the response times, call load trends
and cases filed with King County.
Airport Master Plan: It was reported that 35 hangars are under construction
with more to come. This far exceeds FAA projections. Minimum standards for
facilities are monitored by airport personnel.
2003 Airport Budget: General budget was reviewed. Most line items show little
change; however, the line for maintenance has been increased.
Solid Waste Removal Rates: The report showed a 1% increase in the
contractor rates for 2003 and 0% increase in the rates the city charges.
single family unit fee is being subsidized.
The
Solid Waste Contract- Section 2.2.2.5: This section gives the city the option
to change recycling collection configuration. Staff does not recommend totally
commingled recycling as it would incur a higher cost.
2003 Golf Course Budget: The budget was reviewed. Drainage improvements
are needed to keep all holes playable year around. The proposed fee increases
for golf course use were considered. The biggest change would be to charge
weekend fees for use on Friday. Marketing strategies were discussed.
2003 Cemetery Budget: The cemetery is operating at a loss this year and
probably will be next year. Cremations have increased which is part of the
decline in plot revenues. Acquisition of new property is not a necessity at this
time. The trees in Pioneer Cemetery need to be removed as they are dead or
dying. Staff was requested to seek alternative solutions to their removal.
2003 Fire Department Budget: There was very little change in the line items
except for those not under the department's control, such as salaries and
benefits. Program Improvements were reviewed.
