CALL TO ORDER Mayor Briggs called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. Present were Councilors Braid, Churchill, Lake and Hellier. Absent: Braid. Also in attendance were City Manager Wedel, Police Chief Duggen, Attorney David Kendall, and City Clerk Simon. 2. PUBLIC FORUM Kevin Busse, 5101 160th Street SE: Concerns with the old burger king and wondering if there will ever be development as previously discussed. Witnessed many incidents of vandalism. The former car wash has a new owner, and it does not function creating an issue with people either attempting to use the wash or using the bays for nefarious activities. Two buildings on the same street are causing an increase in criminal activity. Witnessed vandalism at Memorial Park. Multiple neighbors noting feeling unsafe. Would like to see an increase in police patrol and cleaning up of the two abandoned buildings. City Manager Wedel: Thank you for your comments. The Burger King site has been a concern we have heard about from many. The city is also in a difficult position but has been encouraging the building owners to do something with it. The carwash is new information to the city, as well as the veteran’s memorial vandalism. Police chief in attendance and will look into extra patrols. 3.
