February 26, 2004 Subject: Southwest King County Chamber Contract At last week's Council meeting there was some discussion about the language in Service B in Attachment A of the Chamber contract. Some changes were made to make it more readable Since then, I have spoken with Nancy Damon, who is satisfied with the contract very close to what it was last year, so the language is back to what it was in the previous year's contract. The only word taken out is shown in the third line in strikeout: Service B: The Chamber will serve as an information center, responding to inquiries received locally and from around the world with regard to relocating, locating a business, demographic information, City projects, issues, facilities and services. All inquiries will be tracked by type and origin; fulfillment will be within ten working days. Otherwise, all the services in Exhibit A are as they were in the 2003 contract.
