The City is at the end of Phase I, the fact finding phase.
Waste reduction options were reviewed, they include residen-
tial recycling, commercial and industrial recycling, and yard
waste management. The question was asked, "What role does
the City want to assume in solid waste management and in
recycling programs This is the next step. The City is
receiving proposals for a consultant to assist in the
planning and to write the policies. They will continue to
come back to Council with progress reports.
Mr. Steve Caputo, General Manager of Sea -Tac Disposal, was
present to discuss the pilot program they have initiated in
the Kent area. They are running a twice a month service and
at this time there is approximately 80% participation. They
have the facilities to run any kind of a residential program
the City would like. At this time they are working at one
half capacity.
The basic objective is to pick the right program for the
City.
Councilmember Moriwaki reported on the Surface Water
Management Program. Kramer, Chin Mayo are the consultants
on this project. They have done a good job. The issues
before Council on a Surface Water Utility are two: (1)
Capital Improvements and (2) Operation and Maintenance. A
strong education program for residence is important.

local piece of property. There are several for -sale signs
posted. He suggested the multi family sign requirements be
