ll. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. King County Agreement for Sale and Distribution of Reclaimed Water
Staff is seeking full Council authorization for the Mayor to enter into an agreement with King County for the
sale and distribution of reclaimed water. Staff stated that Mayor Haggerton has been a proponent of reclaimed
water use. The use of reclaimed water has come up several times during discussions of the Regional Water
Quality Committee; and the City of Tukwila has been touted as a leader in the use of reclaimed water.
This is a basic agreement in which the City acts as an agent for the marketing, sale, purchase and distribution of
reclaimed water. The City will in turn, reimburse the King County Wastewater Treatment Division for the
expense of the reclaimed water which is estimated to cost 80% of the current Seattle Public Utilities rate for
wholesale potable water. Staff will also be seeking additional opportunities within the City that may be eligible
to use reclaimed water.
The Committee requested Exhibit A, as reference in Section 4.2, be included when the information in forwarded
to full Council. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO FEBRUARY 25 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
B. King County Interlocal Agreement for Reclaimed Water Pipeline Extension Proiect
In reference to the above agenda item, staff is seeking approval to enter into an interlocal agreement with King
County for a reclaimed water pipeline extension project. Design and construction of this project will be paid for
by King County. The project will involve extension of the current reclaim water pipeline approximately 400-
500 feet from Interurban Avenue South to the existing irrigation pond at Foster Golf Links.
Early today, staff identified a potential issue with Section 2.2 of the draft interlocal agreement. Additional
research will be required in order to further explore questions that have surfaced regarding using reclaimed
water as a primary irrigation source for Foster Golf Links. Both Public Works and Parks and Recreation staff
will work together to resolve these questions and will return to the Committee with further information. MORE
INFORMATON REQUIRED. RETURN TO COMMITTEE MARCH 17 FOR DISCUSSION.

Staff is seeking full Council approval to award a bid in the amount of $87,446.70 to Pacific Sheet Metal &
Roofing, LLC, for the re-roofing of Building B at the Minkler Shops. Re-roofing of Building B is the most cost
efficient means to address the increasing maintenance costs of the 30-year old roof. This project will be paid for
