REPORTS Mayor Rants spoke briefly on the need to determine the makeup of Mayor committees for growth management as soon as possible. The issue was moved to the 4/27 COW for an indepth discussion. City Council Council President Ekberg reported that he and Councilmember Lawrence attended an interim meeting with the South Central School Board at which the School Board agreed to the interlocal agreement with the City. Councilmember Robertson reported the Growth Management Committee has completed their first draft deliberations on growth management policies. Copies of the document will be available and comments are encouraged. Regarding the third runway issue, Councilmember Lawrence reported $11,000 of the City's $50,000 contribution has been expended to date. Staff Mayor Rants and DCD Director Rick Beeler led a discussion on the City's interest in two unincorporated areas, one to the north and one to the south, that are presently receiving attention as possible future annexation parcels. The City of SeaTac is also interested in the property to the south and has filed a petition to annex this parcel; however, Tukwila is the likely candidate to provide services to the area. Because of the existing annexation petition, Tukwila has two options: 1) appeal the determination of non significance (DNS); 2) ask the Boundary Review Board to take jurisdiction and hold a hearing in order for the City to present its case that the property should not be annexed to SeaTac but to Tukwila. Beeler also suggested the City resume discussions with Mr. Segale regarding annexation into Tukwila or for the City to pass a resolution annexing the property into the City. Bill Arthur, representing the Segale interests, stated they preferred to annex to Tukwila. They would like to work out an agreement regarding zoning, storm sewers, sanitary sewers, and roadways. Arthur asked Council to designate someone to work with Segale representatives to work out terms of an annexation agreement. Council President Ekberg suggested the City consider a resolution for annexing the area, come up to speed on negotiations between Mr. Segale and the City, and request the BRB put aside the property because it is not viable for annexation to SeaTac. Councilmember Robertson echoed Ekberg's comments and suggested the zoning and comprehensive zoning be worked out in advance as it was in previous annexations. Mayor Rants requested a draft resolution be prepared for the 4/27 COW.
