REPORTS Councilmember Duffie voiced his displeasure that many people and Council businesses in the city continue to use the name Seattle rather than Tukwila. Councilmember Simpson suggested looking into obtaining a zip cc je for the City. Council President Ekberg reported that some Tukwila residents are upset with the school district's decision to require children who live within a half mile of the school to walk to classes rather than ride the school bus. Citizens are concerned about sidewalks and improvements on 42nd Ave. and will be working to get 42nd declared as a hazardous street. Councilmember Robertson suggested a way to improve City advertising would be to consider using the South Times as the City's newspaper of record. The City's current carrier does not deliver to parts of Tukwila. This issue will be discussed at a Community Affairs and Parks Sub Committee meeting. Robertson asked for the status of the Coluccio annexation. Rick Beeler, DCD Director, responded that he had not heard from the City of SeaTac on when the issue would move on to the Boundary Review Board. After the request to annex is received by the BRB, Tukwila will have 45 days to petition the BRB for a hearing. Robertson stated he believed it was the intent of the Council to oppose the annexation by SeaTac and asked that Council be kept informed on this issue. Councilmember Robertson requested a list of what the City gets for their membership in the Economic Development Council. Mayor Rants responded that the EDC will give a presentation to the Council later in the year on the economic climate for the South King County area. Councilmember Hernandez explained that she had attended an EDC meeting at one time and was impressed with the program as it was a corroboration of businesses working with schools. The businesses involved furnished computers to a school district could not afford to purchase the equipment. Robertson stated he questions the benefit to the City for the $300 -$500 per year membership dues. Referencing the EDC's pro development position on a recent growth management issue and their supportive stand on the third runway controversy, Robertson stated that it appeared as though the positions the EDC takes on issues is probably frequently counter to positions cities take. Robertson spoke briefly on the timeline involved in the county wide growth management planning policies. It was decided that this issue would move forward to the August 10th COW.
