economic development, regional water quality, solid waste, parks, and pools.

son, Scott; daughter in law, Christy; and two granddaughters.
Deb Eddy. 5526 127 Ave. E.. Kirkland WA, former Director of Suburban Cities Association, said she
was "compelled to drive from Kirkland... out of sheer joy of working with.." Mayor Mullet during her tenure
with the organization. She noted SCA has experienced many positive changes and called the Mayor a
"steady hand" throughout each of those changes.
Both ladies thanked the Council and City staff for "sharing" Mayor Mullet with the Suburban Cities
Association.

Discussion:
Councilmember Carter noted one of the amendments now recognizes the Tukwila South Potential
Annexation Area (PAA) extending south of 204 Until this time, the CPP's have not recognized this area
as it was in the SeaTac area. SeaTac amended its Comprehensive Plan (in 2004) to eliminate the
overlap and their desire for that to be included in their map. For that reason the CPP's are able to
recognize the area as being within Tukwila's PAA and a new County map will be done to reflect same.
