CULTURAL CENTER STUDY
Finance Director McCarthy informed the Committee that the City has
been asked, by a group of private individuals, to provide $10, 000
to match a planned private sector fund drive to generate an
additional $10, 000 to complete a cultural center feasibility study.
City Administrator Chow explained this study would help address
the council target issue- Downtown revitalization.
Councilmember Houser pointed out that she prefer these type of
items to be addressed in the budget.
Councilmember Johnson moved that the group of private individuals
must raise its share of $10, 000 and then the city would match that
amount.
The Committee recommended on a 3-0 vote that the city will
appropriate $10,000 if and when the private sector raises their
share. The item will be placed on the April 3rd agenda under Other
Business.
KHERSON MURAL PROJECT
City Administrator Chow presented a request of $10,000 to reimburse
the city art program for the Kherson Mural. These funds were
originally slated for restoration and relocation of the Carnation
Mural but were redirected so the Kherson Mural would be done in
time for the Goodwill Games and a visit by the Kherson Delegation.
Chow noted that the IBC had recommended a reprioritization of
existing funding.

ADDED ITEM- HENDERICKSEN PROPERTY FORECLOSURE
Police Chief Frederiksen informed the Committee that the forfeited
property, located on 22615 100th Ave. SE, will be subject to
foreclosure on April 13, 1990 due to arrearages owing on the
financing of the property. The city didn't receive the deed to
this property until last month due to the fact that the King County
Prosecutor's office just recently negotiated the plea agreement
which included the transfer of the deed. Three options available
to the city include: 1. Allow the foreclosure, the city would
receive no profit and not be able to recover investigative costs.
2. Pay off the loan then analyze a method of disposition, either
the city sell it or hire a real estate agent. 3 . Immediately list
the property for sale by an agent and risk foreclosure if it is not
sold by April 13 .
Frederiksen recommended with the concurrence of the IBC that the
city pay off the loan of $103, 000, own the house and then sell it.
The sales option decision will be made following an analysis of
city versus broker sales costs.
The Committee recommended the loan pay off by a vote of 3-0. The
payoff does not require a budget change and therefor full Council
action is not required.
