Mayor Rants and Council shared their impressions of the
presentations given by three landscape architect firms last week.
The group indicated they were impressed with both the Lee and the
Murase firm; however, the majority of the Council felt the Murase
firm was the most sensitive to Tukwila's needs as indicated by their
emphasis on water quality. Council agreed that they would want to
be assured that Murase himself would be committed to the project.

said there are many who feel the regional committees have not been
given the kind of responsibility they should have and that the
Metropolitan Council is not paying much attention to it.
Councilmember Hernandez reported she received a packet of
information from Kent Councilperson Judy Woods on the citizens
and business advisory group and ad hoc task force on human
services relating to the siting of the regional justice center in Kent.
The City of Kent is trying to gain some mitigation from King
County to pay for what Kent thinks will be quite an impact on the
entire South King County area. Woods requested a letter of
support from the Tukwila Council. Hernandez recommended the
council honor Woods' request.
Councilmember Mullet reported his attendance at the Duwamish
corridor meeting last week. The group discussed the
subcommittees that would be formed on infrastructure, job
creation, and regulatory issues. Mayor Rants announced he had
been asked to chair the entire Duwamish Coalition with Seattle
Mayor Norm Rice.
