NEW BUSINESS Lower Foster Park Drainage Improve- ments. Christensen Green- belt Park, Ph. III. 37s3 The memorandum from Don Williams, Parks and Recreation Director, reviewed the potential park development in the proposed Fire Dis- trict #1 annexation. He reported potential development costs could be $200,000 or more with an annual maintenance cost of $18,000 in 1984 dollars. Jim Haney, City Attorney, said the Boundary Review Board considers Seattle's annexation request to be a dead issue. The City of Seattle considers it to be a live issue. Mr. Haney said the petition by Fire District #1 does not call for an election, does not state the number of registered voters and the petition was not submitted to the County Prosecutor as required. If the City of Seattle's position is correct and their annexation request is still valid it can be voted down by the people. Tukwila could put in their petition for the area to be annexed. Councilman Morgan stated the City should put in their annexation request first in case the Seattle election fails. Moira Bradshaw, Planner, said the Port of Seattle has not been contacted for their feeling on the issue. Stewart Garnett, Commissioner, Fire District #1, said he questioned that it would cost the City $863,074 for the Fire Department. Mr. Garnett said the past elections have failed because of lack of sufficient information. The people now fear that the City of Seattle will gobble them up. Joanne Manus, audience, said that part of the area that is in the annexation was left out last time and that may be one reason the election failed. The people would like to be annexed.
