Informational Only
Tim LaPorte, Design Engineering Manager said this was a continuation of the
information given at the last meeting. Engineering does not anticipate a lot of work to be
done after the time limits established in the noise ordinance but it will be necessary for
the contractor to perform some construction activities beyond these time periods in order
to complete the work on schedule.
Highline Water District – Informational Only
Larry R. Blanchard, Public Works Director explained that the City will try to provide
water in all of our service area. The City has determined they can provide water to the
new Riverview development, to incorporate the area being served by Kent the Highline
Water District Boundaries will need to be adjusted.
Ron Harmon asked if the homes on Frager Rd. and 216th will be forced to abandon the
community well they use. Larry said the City has not done that in the past but if the
property is re-developed they may have to. Ron asked if they could keep the well and
hook up to City water. Larry said he would get back to the committee on that issue.
