Jim Stevens, representing the Black River Quarry Coalition, explained they are a group of concerned citizens that believe the County is wrong in its pursuit of a mass burn incinerator and they are devoting their efforts to stopping this plan. They are dedicated to the quality of life in our community that supports the living standards we are accustomed to in the Northwest. They are supporting efforts in the community that promote responsible waste reduction and, if they are asked they would participate in developing such programs as citizen education, recycling, composting and re -use. He urged Council to look at curb -side programs first. This type of program has proven to be the most successful form of Com- munity recycling. Let's be a leader in innovative programs and not wait for King County's direction. Time is short and we can wait too long. They have laid the ground work but still need financial support from the City and the local businesses.

Council President Harris referred to a letter from Michael Bergstrom, son of Carl Bergstrom, 14921 57th Avenue South, concerning an ordinance on the agenda authorizing condemna- tion proceedings against a portion of property owned by his parents. Council President Harris called attention to the title of the ordinance which reads "by negotiation or condemnation She will write a letter to Mr. Bergstrom and explain this. Council stressed the point that they want negotiations to continue. Attorney Hard explained that once the ordinance is passed they will file the condemnation action to help precipitate the negotiation process. If they cannot settle they will proceed with the condemnation action. The problem is that they have a mandate from the Public Works Department, they have to get started with the construction and they can't start until they get the land. Mayor Van Dusen said that the citizens need the reservoir, the pressure on the hill has become a significant problem. Attorney Hard said they will never cease negotiating, they are prepared to settle at any time. Council again stressed that the emphases be on negotiations to get this resolved.
