A request was made to have the Mayors of the four cities apprised of the require-
ments of the by -laws relating to the staggered terms of the delegates appointed by
each, namely two one -year terms, two two -year terms and two for three years.
A request was made to have 50 copies of the by -laws as revised printed for distri-

the amended by -laws.

Reporting on his committee on correlation of planning by the cities, Paul Wieser read
letters received from the Planning Commissions of Tukwila, Renton, Kent and Auburn,
all of which expressed willingness to cooperate with the adjoining cities.
Considerable discussion was given to the matter of drafting a resolution pertaining
to drainage and flood control in the lower Valley, as had been authorized at the
previous meeting. It was the consensus of opinion that more information should be
obtained before formal action is taken. A motion was therefore passed to postpone
the decision until a later meeting.
