Councilman Bauch said the City should be aggressive on this and try to become one of the sponsors so that it becomes an official City function and not just a commer- cial activity. This will help to make people realize that this area is Tukwila. Don Morrison reported on the Suburban Cities meeting he attended. As a result of this meeting, he suggested that Council consider adopting the resolution that the cities were asked to consider giving substantial support to the King County Development Guide. Since the County has recognized the cities as an appropriate place to steer urban development, the cities would express their approval of the process by resolution. Mayor Van Dusen said they would come back to Council with a resolution.

TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL, REGULAR MEETING May 7, 1984 Page 4 NEW BUSINESS Cont. Metro Cont. ADJOURNMENT 8:45 p.m. Council President Phelps said it was a policy meeting with no details being discussed. The City will insist on review and comment on each step as it comes up. Council Member Morgan said there are steps being left out that involve the City. It is incumbent on the City to develop a policy position related to this pipeline. The City must represent the citizens in a responsible way and can do so by involving them in a public policy decision making process. She requested that all of the Council Members be alerted when the next meeting is held so that they might give additional input. Councilman Bauch said that the City needs to get behind Metro and help them. This sewer is needed. There might have to be some mitigating measures for some of the businesses along the route. The quicker we get it out of Tukwila, the better off we will be. Councilman Simpson said that the City is aware this is going to happen, but we want to make sure Metro is aware that we want them to take the best avenue with the least impact on Tukwila.
