oppose the reduction of speed on portions of Fourth Street S.E. Mr. Sonnemann stated
the City has spent a good deal of money to improve the street and as an arterial street,
he does not feel the speed limit should be lowered. He pointed out that most
accidents have occurred' "at 4th Street S.E. and "F'; Street S.E. and he feels most accidents
are caused by carelessness, not the speed - although speed can affect accidents also.
Mr. Sonnemann asked that the Council consider alternatives such as: lowering tIle speed
to 30 mph, instead 'of 25 mph, or installing a four-way stop. He stated more consideration
should be given to this matter and asked that it be referred back to the Street
Cowmttee (The reduction of speed limits is covered under Ordinance No. 2823, which
'dil.l come up later in the Council Meeting).

MOTION CARRIED
PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE - CHAIRMAN CRAIG
Chairman Craig announced that the next Public Safety Committee Meeting will be
at 7:30 P.M. on Wednesday, July 10, 1974.
STREET COMMITTEE - COUNCILMAN DARLING
The Street Committee met at 7:30 P.M. on June 19, 1974. Councilman Darling reported
on the meeting and the Committee Minutes are a matter of Public Record, on file in
the Ci ty Clerk's Office.
The C01l4'1l,i ttee reviewed a memorandum, from gar,,' Seabrands, regarding the problem and
accident .frequency at 4th Street and "F" Street S.E. The memorandum read in part: I
"There have been eleven (ll) accidents on 4th St. S.E. during the past months,
not , including the intersection at Auburn Way South and "M" St. S.E. Two of these
were in jury while the remainder "'ere property damaye amounting to in excess of $5000.00.
The posted legal speed limits is 35 MPH while the tolerance is from 5 to 9 MPH in
excess of the limit. This means that vehicles can be driven 40 MPH to 44 MPH without
fear of citation. This creates a very high exposure for drivers crossing 4th St. S.E.
especially at "F" St. S.E. where seventy percent (70%) of the above total occurred.
In addition, this is a pedestrian route going to and from school, library. . .,
t;ÞAr~ff)ëP, crOSS&old 7 !~S wi 'n;. aryoroprfate signing and marking sh?u](~ be i 1?sr,:>~ 7 ad '
It is the recommendation of the Engineering Div. to reduce the legal speed limit to
25 MPH on 4th St. S.E. from the intersection of Auburn Way South to the intersection
of "M" Street S.E. based on the above reasons and the fact that 90% of the street
frontage is residential." The Committee recommends that the speed limit be reduced
from 35 MPH to 25 MPH and that crosswalks be created. The City Attorney vIas instructed
to draw up the-necessary ordinance (Ordinance No. 2823 ~dll be discussed again under
Ordinances and Resolutions, later in the Council Meeting).

MONDAY
The Committee also discussed the speed limit on 37th Street S.E. The Police Depa.r:tment
and Pub1ïc Works Department recommended that the speed limit be reduced to 25 MPH on
37th Street S.E. also. The Committee recommended the request be concurred with and
asked the Ci ty Attorney to draw up the necessary ordinance (this is also incl uded
in Ordinance No. 2823).
The Committee discussed G! memorandum from Marv Seabrands, regarding "D" Street N.W.
and possible si¿",,·.,alk z""'pJ.accment costs, whi(;h read in p:l'rt a':' F').:l.x;s: "1'h.:;
Building Department has received three quotations for replacement of approximately
40 lineal feet of sidewalk on "D" Street N.W. which is generally the problem area
connected with the request from Carol Anderson, 112 "D" Street N.W. Quotes range
from $1,000 down to appro~imately $200. A discussion with the Mayor indicates his
desire is to instigate an LID on this project with the cost being spread out among
the residents on this street. The cost would be very minimal $5 - $6/year, but the
people would have an interest in the project. If the Committee so desires, the sidewalk
could be replaced by this method if the residents so desire." During discussion,
it was assumed that the property owners were in absence (rental properties) and that
probably the equitable and proper means of repairing the sidewalk would be to repair
and/or replace the entire sidewalk in the 100 block by Resolution LID.
It was moved by Darling, seconded by Craig, that the City Attorney be instructed to
prepare Resolution LID for sidewalk replacement, in the 100 block, on "D" Street N.~"¡.
George Schuler explained that the difference between a regular LID and a Resolution LID
is that a regular LID is created by a petition signed by the property owners and a
Resolution LID is created by the City Council. Once the Council calls for a Resolution
LID, a Public Hearing will be held to determine the wishes of the residents and/or
property owners. Mr. Schuler pointed out that the LID can be created even if the
residents and/or property owners are 100% against the LID, if the LID is formed for
health reasons of safety reasons; however, if formed for other purposes, only 60%
objection is required.
Mayor Kersey stated that the majority of the people living i~ that area are on welfare
and he requests that the City proceed with care to see that no one is hurt too badly
since this is a low income area. Mr. Schuler stated that work would be done only
where necessary and he also pointed out that payments could fe made over a long period
of time, which would help eliminate any financial burdens.
