Period of maximum constraint is coming with the SR99 closure. Councilmember Kathy Lambert is particularly effective on articulating transportation and other unincorporated issues. People are acknowledging the web between rural and urban. There is talk of levies next year for parks, human services, and homelessness. When you look at your portfolio how do you start anticipating any change and movement given that we are already in a period of max constraint in terms of funding? I am from the East Coast and doing levies is a harder lift there. These are trade off choices made by elected officials. With all of these levies, what are King County's priorities? This executive has focused on delivering the best run government. The new Department of Local Services is another step toward delivering best run government services to unincorporated residents. Woodinville has some concerns when talking about economic development in the rural area. What are the plans and constraints? Economic development efforts are first focused on the urban unincorporated area. King County has a great agriculture crew of eight people who focus in the rural area. King County is 17th for agricultural production in the state. V. Legislative Agenda: Motion to approve the 2019 Legislative Priorities. Legislative agenda approved. VI. 2019 Work Planning • Technological advances / Smart cities technology update— Censors in roads, ITS concepts for tech advances. Take some time for future orientation. Rideshares and autonomous vehicles and core infrastructure, INRIX work, parking space active reader signs. The update should help us know what we don't know and include both policy and other questions. • Governor's climate change policy and policy for cities and the county. • Scooters, safety elements, bikes and pedestrians. • Legislative updates during session. Bill's going to come. Nice to know if things are stalled. • Fewer topics, more time for conversation vs. presentations. One vs. two topics per meeting. Shape agenda more actively. • Eastside Rail Corridor: Is moving fast and is something people are interested in. • Road Usage Charge once that report gets published. • Vision 2050 update. VII. Good of the Order: • PSRC: Fascinating update about V 2050. Finding metrics for index of displacement. • Fred Jarrett retiring, he has been vocal about high speed ferry. This is a good forum to hear about water borne transportation. • Discussion to schedule a special meeting with Congressman Smith to be held in addition to or in place of regularly scheduled ETP meeting? ETP members voted (using thumbs up and down) to retain the regular meeting in January and to add a second meeting with Congressman Smith. The meeting with Congressman Smith could take place at the Mercer Island Community Center or at the Clise Mansion, Marymoor Park, Redmond. Meeting adjourned: 8:45 a.m. 92
