At this evening's COW meeting, Council agreed to present their reports after new business on
this agenda.
a. Mayor
Mayor Mullet reported his attendance at the AWC meeting, in Spokane, last week. The
Tukwila Municipal Court was presented with two awards at the Conference and Mayor Mullet
will present those to Judge Lukevich, on behalf of the Court staff upon the judge's return from
vacation. Mr. Mullet also presented a heads -up on the King County Comprehensive Plan which
is pushing for new provisions which would allow residential upzones to 48 units per acre. This
does not directly effect Tukwila, yet staff believes requests may come to the City from
surrounding areas which may start looking for annexation possibilities as they do not want King
County increasing their densities.

REACH is in jeopardy and public hearings will be held July 12, 6:45 p.m., Foster High School.
