Baker Our Valley Industrial Commission met at Kent City Hull on the eve- ning of .January 23, 1961. Ill- ness prevented me from attending this meeting. This leaves me in the position of trying to prepare an Article and not having any in- formation on the meeting. Since this condition does exist perhaps a subject that is of in- terest to the people of Tukwila can be covered this month. Shortly after we completed our work on the Freeway system on October 7, 1960, we started on another phase of work and study for our Industrial Development. This is to provide sewers for the Andover Industrial park and the Shopping Center. Through necessity sewers must be provided for the first indust- ries coming into Andover by the first of July, 1961. In provid- ing this area with sewers it is also necessary to engineer the system to fit into the Comprehen- sive Sewage Plan for the rest of the Town of Tukwila as its future growth demands. Our Comprehensive Plans call. for first.an L.I.D. (local improve- ment district) to be created to provide the necessary sewers, trunk lines and a temporary lag- oon for the industrial district. It further requires that provis- ions be made for other sections of town, residential or indust- rial, to connect into this system without duplication or enlarge- ment. Trunk lines now installed must be of sufficient size and capacity to eirentually serve the entire system. The property of the developers will be required to pay for the entire cost of this first stage of development through their L.I.D. This re- quires them to provide trunk • lines with a capacity of more than three times their own re- quirements. Being the first to need sewers they are penalized by having to provide larger trunk (cont. pg.3 -col. 2) page 2.

As other local improvement'districts are forted a "late comer" charge will be included in these L.I.D's to compensate the industrial dev- elopers for the difference be tween the size trunk lines nec- essary for their own development and the larger trunk lines now required in our Comprehensive Plan to serve the entire town. The lagoon to be used is of a temporary nature. It will be re- placed with a treatment plant when the sewer dit.iot becomes large enough to n:a.. it finane cially A month17 ::deer servi,3o charge will be collected to l:rovict for the upkeep and operatiun of the sewer system. One article does not permit enough space to fully explain our Comprehensive Plan but briefly here are a few items of interest. Any part of our system installed must be of sufficient eapacity to serve our entire town as we grow and develop. It is now possible for any section of our, town to start planning for sewers. It is entirely your decision as to the necessity for sewers for your neighborhood. You can have sewers now or a few years from now. All sewers installed will be through L.I.D.'s with assessments against the property served. As previously stated we are now working on the first phase. This will take about sixteen steps of procedure through the Council and will require sixty to ninety days This means a lot of work and will keep us busy, although, in the event any group of residents are interested in a study for your part of town, we will arrange meetings to obtain the desired information for you. Do you want a night out ('with the boys" once a week, sometimes oftener, and be an asset to : ur community at the same time? loin the volunteer fire department. Meetings or drills every Wednes�r day.
