The Council reviewed the memorandum submitted by the Public Works
Department regarding their comments and concerns of the Interlocal
Agreement to Establish a Regional Planning Council. In summary, the
memorandum stated that the agreement appears to be a long way from
being a functional agreement with clear and consistent guidelines
necessary to achieve regional cooperation. The Public Works Dept
suggested combining efforts with the Tukwila City Council to develop
and define the City's own Policy which can then be pursued in a regional
forum.
The Council recommended that staff draft a letter to COG for Council
President's and Mayor's signatures for review and discussion at the June
10 Committee of The Whole Council meeting. It appears that time is
not an immediate factor, since the COG will remain in existence, at least
temporarily.
The Council agreed to modify the agenda to add SPECIAL REPORTS
following CONSENT AGENDA. This would allow items of special
interest to be reported early in the meeting, and would give citizens an
opportunity to be informed of pertinent issues without having to sit
through an entire Council meeting. The Council agreed to follow this
format on a trial basis. If this arrangement works, the Council would
then consider amending the ordinance to reflect the same.
The Council reviewed the Sensitive Areas Ordinance in hopes of
finalizing all loose ends; unfortunately, after reviewing page by page of
the document, the Council found several minor corrections that needed
to be made.
Council President Robertson suggested that Council submit their
vacation schedules to the Council Analyst; then prepare for discussion
of Council Workplan, facilities study and land issue at the next COW.
Councilmember Hernandez announced that Longacres/Boeing's Public
Hearing is scheduled for June 6, to discuss the Interlocal Agreement
with Renton for the extension of 27th Avenue.
