Mayor Van Dusen stated that he has been only looking for what is good for Tukwila in this whole process. The pipeline may have provided the catalyst for improving Interurban. At this point, he said he can see that there is no advantage to Tukwila for the Effluent Pipeline to go through town. MOVED BY HARRIS, SECONDED BY DUFFIE, THAT THE PROPOSED RESOLUTION BE READ. MOTION CARRIED. Jim Haney, City Attorney, read in its entirety a resolution of the City of Tukwila, Washington, recommending an alignment for Metro's Effluent Transfer System running along the east side of the Duwamish Rvier from the Renton Treatment Plant and crossing to the west side of the river at a point north of Tukwila's corporate limits. MOVED BY HARRIS, SECONDED BY DUFFIE, THAT RESOLUTION NO. 928 BE ADOPTED AS READ. MOTION CARRIED WITH COUNCILMAN BOHRER VOTING NO (AFTER DISCUSSION THE VOTE WAS CHANGED TO A YES). Frances North, Box 441, North Bend, speaking for the Codiga Property on both the east and west sides of the river said that she recognizes that the river has to be cleaned up. Council's recommendation that the pipeline be installed on the east side of the river will disrupt the business operated by Jim Codiga and could possibly put him out of business. Jim Haney, Attorney, commented that if Metro decides to go through the Golf Course they will have to negotiate with the City. The Golf Course is not a City right -of -way. Mayor Van Dusen said the resolution is only a recommendation. He will include the citizen's comments in his correspondence to Metro. Councilman Bauch noted that the City Attorney indicated that there was some strengthening of ordinances needed prior to the start of the pipeline project.
