I. PRESENTATIONS
II. BUSINESSAGENDA
A. Waste Management 2015 Annual Report
David Della, Public Sector Manager from Waste Management, presented the 2015 Annual
Report to the City of Tukwila. The report includes information on sustainability goals, strategic
community investments, public education and outreach, and year end statistics.
INFORMATION ONLY.
B. Valley View Sewer District Loop Area Sewer Project Update
Dana Dick, General Manager of Valley View Sewer District, provided an update on the status of
the Loop Area Sewer Project. Valley View Sewer District applied for construction funding from
the State and was offered 50% of design costs (estimated around $500K) as a grant with the
balance of the design and all construction as a 1.0% loan financed over 20 years. The first
proposal included a 3.5% Bond, so the 1% loan will show some savings. Additional grant
funding may be available through the 2016 Supplemental Budget and /or 2017/2018 Biennial
Budget process via the State Legislature. The District is planning public outreach strategies,
including an open house later in February and a residential poll regarding annexation of the
area into the Valley View Sewer District. The District is also pursuing Community Development
Block Grant funding to assist low income homeowners and will be collecting income data from
affected households. Sample maps were discussed that showed the water quality problems in
the Loop area. Committee members asked clarifying questions and discussed the appropriate
timing to forward this update to the full Council. Mr. Dick will follow up by providing additional
written information that will be distributed to all Councilmembers, as well as attached to the
Committee minutes. INFORMATION ONLY.
