Councilman Morgan said she had a question of administration. Section 3 refers to the lead agency determination and responsibil- ities. Item 2 talks about when the City is not the lead agency for a proposal all departments of the City shall use and consider as appropriate, and then it talks about the documents. She said her concern is that given past history there may or may not be coordination and there may or may not be a response. She wanted to know how they will coordinate so when the responses are in the best interest of the City they are forthcoming. Don Morrison, City Administrator, said the administration proposes to designate a project manager to work with the project manager of the lead agency. It will be that person's responsibility to coordinate and monitor all of the documents, reviews and associated work having to do with the proposal and to bring those TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING March 11, 1985 Page 2 OLD BUSINESS Contd.

Councilman Morgan asked if that answer should be part of the ordinance? Mr. Morrison said it could be but he did not see it as a necessity. Councilman Morgan said if it is really meant and the lead agency on the effluent transfer system issued an EIS and the City did not do anything about it, if it is really meant there should be something put in there that indicates "yes, in fact we have a process whereby we will coordinate and respond." The language in this infers that we may or may not, there is a limitation on response in that no City department shall prepare or require preparation of the DNS or EIS in addition to that prepared by the lead agency unless the City determines the supplemental environmental review is necessary and then it lists the code. She said she is concerned that there is not a mechanism there to insure that the City is not going to let something fall through the cracks. Mr. Morrison said he did not know that an administrative response needs to be legislated in the ordinance. He said he could see how it could make some people rest easier. Councilman Morgan said if her colleagues do not have a problem with it, it can be left like it is but she would like to have her concern recorded in the minutes of the meeting. Rick Beeler, Associate Planner, said there should be a public hearing held on this ordinance before it is passed. Council President Bacuh said a public meeting will be held on March 18, 1985. *MOTION CARRIED, WITH DUFFIE AND MORGAN VOTING NO.
