He informed the Committee that the City has until October 11 to adopt the proposed amendments. The Planning Commission is holding their public hearing on September 17th. The GMHB found the City's Comprehensive Plan in compliance, but remanded four parts back for revision. The sections to be revised are the transportation forecasting methodology, transportation element on adjacent jurisdictions, consider the existing yard as an allowed use, and develop a process for siting essential public facilities. Mr. Sokol reviewed the four separate components of amendments. He reviewed the CF-62 policy. Councilmember Singer asked if the GMHB would approve a policy as stringent as CF-62. Mr. Krauss said he believes the policy meets criteria set forth by the GMHB. Councilmember Wagner asked about bringing in profits/loss into the analysis of railroad impacts. He wondered if this should be discussed in the Comprehensive Plan. He said that if the yard is of economic benefit to the state and region, then they should pay the cost of mitigation, not just the City. Mr. Krauss said that he was uncomfortable about singling this factor out when traffic, etc., are re not pointed out. He stated that economic impacts are a fundamental part of each impact analysis in any event. Mr. Sokol continued his review of the amendments. He provided information on the special area plan. He reviewed information on traffic forecast volumes, intergovernmental coordination, and the light industrial revision. Chairman Borden complimented staffon what a good job they have done to revise the amendments. Councilmember Singer asked about the City doing these amendments now versus doing the amendments during the yearly Plan amendment process. Mr. Sokol said that because the revisions are mandated by the GMHB, the City must have the revisions in place by October 11. Councilmember Singer requested that when the yearly Comprehensive Plan review is done, that the City look at the Neighborhood Commercial area around the casino. Councilmember Wagner made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Singer, to recommend the Council call for a public hearing at their September 16th meeting, and conduct the public hearing on October 7th. Chairman Borden concurred.

Ordinance No. 4904 is an amendment to the contract the City currently' has with King County Community Services Division. The amendment in the amount of $13,500 will.be used to support the Late Night and After School programs during the 1996-97 school year. Mr. Deal pointed out that during the 1995-96 school year more than $59,000 was received in grant funds to support these programs. Thus far, only $24,700 has been received for the 1996-97 school year. Grants from King County Human Services Division and King County Parks that provided $22,500 in support last year are not available this year. In addition, the contribution from United Way has been reduced 50% for this year. Staff is exploring other funding opportunities; however, if additional funds cannot be secured, programs will have to be modified or reduced. Councilmember Singer asked if the money spent on the 20 youth at Olympic Middle School should be directed elsewhere. Mr. Deal said that he hates to see the program go away because it has been very successful. Councilmember Wagner said thathe favors increasing the City's contribution and deferring the skateboard park. Mr. Deal said that students have been touring skateboard facilities in the area. He said that $10,000 was for study of a skateboard park, but the money has not been expended yet. They have talked with consultants, and the contract is not yet negotiated. He said that they could make a change and put the money into the After School Program. He estimates the City cannot do a skateboard park for less than $70,000. Councilmember Wagner said that he did not want the Late Night or After School Programs scaled back. Discussion occurred regarding the reappropriation of money to supplement the Late Night and After School Programs. Chairman Borden said to proceed with the ordinance, but she wanted to discuss the matter again in two weeks. She also suggested that Mr. Deal make arrangements for the Council to visit the programs.
