Lynn Devoir, Recreation Specialist, explained the planned schedule of events. Dave Clarke, Staff Member of King County Council, explained the background of the Green River Management Agreement and the content of the document. The Cities of Auburn and Renton have not signed the agreement. Council President Phelps said one of the major concerns of the City is the operation of Howard Hansen Dam by the Corps of Engineers. It is extremely conservative and the City feels that flows could be adjusted at other times of the year in order to have more capacity behind the dam when things are flooding downstream but they are unwilling to cons -ider it to this point, even in their newly funded study. Byron Sneva, Director of Public Works, stated the City has five and one -half river miles of levy projected for expansion. The City has added to the trails, with the construction projected for the latter part of the year. A significant part of this is raising the dike in order to put the trails at an elevation where the County tells us the high water level is going to be.
