Approval of Vouchers All claims for the period ending January 31, 1991 were approved for payment in the amount of $1,751,682.98. Additional Allocation of Fire Bond Interest Finance Director McCarthy distributed a fiscal note with the recommendations of the Internal Budget Committee to the Operations Committee Members. Fire Chief Angelo reviewed with the Committee the progress to date on the Public Safety Bond Projects for Radios/MDTs noting that every effort had been made to *minimize costs including bidding the cost of the radio tower twice because of dissatisfaction with the bids. An additional$70,000 is requested to complete the backbone of the Radio and MDT system. If the additional funding is not approved,a cut in the amount of radio and MDT equipment would have to be made. It was also requested that$14,000 be approved for finalizing the construction projects in 1991. Of that amount$4,000 would be used for project management and $10,000 to hire a temporary part-time person with the technical expertise to install audio visual equipment and develop manuals and guidelines. A final request was made for $10,000 for facility maintenance and expansion of the East Hill Station. There have been problems in the adjacent lot and the funds would be used to secure the area. All of the above requests would be covered by accrued interest from the Public Safety Bond Project. Fire Chief Angelo requested that the interest be-coordinated with Finance Director McCarthy and thanked the IBC for their input. He also requested permission from Committeemember Mann to forward this issue to the Consent Calendar instead of returning to the Public Safety Committee. Committeemember Mann concurred and asked what priority was being given to the traffic lights at the East/West Hill Stations. Fire Chief Angelo replied that their was an urgent need for an emergency 1 generator to power the door. Currently it is manually opened and the station is left uecured. Additional CIP Projects will look at signals in the industrial area, East Hill and West Hill. Committeemember Johnson moved to approve the requested allocation of bond interest. Committeemember Mann seconded the motion. The item was approved with a vote of 3-0 and moved to the Council Consent Calendar. Suburban Cities Association Committeemember Johnson requested an added item for Suburban Cities Association Staffing for the Summit. Chairperson Houser approved the added item. Committeemember Johnson requested the Committee consider approval of funding for the Suburban cities Association. The assessment is based on population with the total cost of the process being approximately$30,000 Kenfs portion would be$2,400. The Summit will look at governance process for the future, METRO and so forth. Finance Director McCarthy stated that the request was not known at the time of the budget but their may be some funds available from the Puget Sound Council of Governments line item because of our withdrawal from PSCOG. City Attorney Lubovich noted that it was still not known if we would have to pay for the full year pending what happens with PSCOG. Finance Director McCarthy informed the Committee that, if approved,it could be charged to the PSCOG line item and adjusted at year end if the full PSCOG'amount is used. Committeemember Mann moved to approve$2,400 for the cost of the Suburban Cities Association Summit. Committeemember Johnson seconded and the motion was passed with a vote of 3-0. The meeting was adjourned be Chairperson Houser at 5:00 p.m. 2 � � T ICCARTHY,TONY / KENT70/FN OHPDesk print. • ----------------------------------------- 'object: ADD'L ALLOCATION OF PUBLIC- SAFETY BOND ISSUE INTEREST, yreator: Tony MCCARTHY / KENT70/FN Dated: 02/08/91 at 1750- rHE FIRE AND POLICE DEPARTMENTS ARE REQUESTING THE ALLOCATION OF $94, 000 IN tDDITIONAL PUBLIC SAFETY BOND ISSUE INTEREST INCOME TO ORIGINAL PUBLIC SAFETY 30ND ISSUE PROJECTS. THE INTEREST INCOME HAS ACCRUED BECAUSE THE COMPLETION DF THE PROJECTS IS COMING LATER THAN ORIGINALLY ANTICIPATED. THE ADDITIONAL INTEREST HAS BEEN COMPUTED CONSERVATIVELY WITH MORE TO BE EARNED IN 1991. ziLSO AN AMOUNT HAS BEEN SET ASIDE TO PAY FEDERAL ARBITRAGE THAT IS DUE IN OECEMBER OF THIS YEAR FOR INTEREST EARNED ABOVE THE TAX EXEMPT BOND ISSUE RATE. IN DISCUSSING THIS AT THE IBC MEETING IT WAS NOTED THAT THE COUNCIL MAY WANT 1'O CONSIDER USING THE EXCESS INTEREST TO PAY BACK THE CIP FUND FOR ITS CONTRIBUTION 2 YEARS AGO FOR EXCESS COSTS ON THE WEST HILL PROJECT. IF THIS IS DONE, THE CURRENT REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDING WILL HAVE TO BUMP OTHER PUBLIC SAFETY OPERATING OR CAPITAL ACQUISITIONS. THE IBC ONLY MAKES THIS POINT BECAUSE IF ADDITIONAL INTEREST HAD BEEN KNOWN ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN AN OPTION ON THE WEST HILL PROJECT. WITH THIS POINT NOTED, THE IBC RECOMMENDS THE ALLOCATION OF INTEREST AS REQUESTED BY THE FIRE AND POLICE DEPARTMENTS.

The discussions are far ranging and may result in proposals for governance change in King County. At the beginning of the the Summit process, it was agreed by all parties that the costs of the process should be shared equally;- We have now been able to estimate that the SCA share of the costs of the process will be between $25, 000 and $30, 000. This includes the costs of consultant services; various printing, mailing, and support services for the SCA representatives to the Summit; and Summit meetings which the SCA will host. To fund the SCA portion of the costs and to establish an equitable sharing of the of the costs among our member cities, we have created a special assessment based upon population using official 1990 state population figures as a basis. To assure that we will have sufficient funds to cover the SCA proportion of the costs, the per city assessment is based upon a total budget of $30, 000. At the end of the Summit, we will account for all costs and either rebate excess funds or reallocate funds to other SCA projects. For your convenience, I have attached an assessment roll so that you may check your population and assessment. You should send you payment to Mayor Fritz Ribary of North Bend who is the SCA Treasurer. I appreciate your immediate attention to this matter. If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at your convenience. I would also encourage you to actively participate with your SCA colleagues in the Summit process.
