Refer resident request for a play structure in 1985 to the Parks Committee to re-evaluate its 1985 priorities. 3. Request contractors working in the area to keep the streets clean. Finance Committee Recommendations: License and Permit Fees Council was referred to recommendation of the Finance Committee (Minutes of 9/20/84) that licenses and fees re- main as they are; Finance Committee will reconsider fee structure for all licenses for 1986. In discussion, Mulcahy asked if there was Council support for his view to reduce the number of required licenses. Rauenhorst said she feels Council should rely on Committee recommendations. Hicks said he favors simplifying the license structure, but supports leaving them as they are this year. It was noted that the licenses and fees were compared with a large number of cities when fees were adopted for 1984. The consensus of Council was to leave the fees as they are for 1985. (Mulcahy urged Finance Committee's in depth reconsideration of the license structure and its recommendations for Council consideration.) 1985 Proposed Budget Council was referred to budget modifications by the Finance Committee. In discussion, it was noted that the Human Rights Commission favors funding the YSB in 1985; Finance Committee favors the funding outside the levy limit. Hicks supported the funding outside the levy limit. Mulcahy requested a legal opinion from Lynden re appropriateness of funding outside the levy limit; feels uncomfortable about this. McNiesh explained that YSB is eligible under matching funds program and may be funded outside the levy limit; will obtain a legal opinion. In further discussion, it was noted that the Finance Committee suggests that some of the Shade Tree money be used for re- forestation, possibly eliminating one inspection.
