RENTON, WASHINGTON
OCTOBER 24, 1968
The meeting was called to order at 7:45 P.M. , in the
lounge of the Renton City Hall .
Minutes of the previous meeting were approved as received.
Correspondence was read by Mr. Iverson and a letter was
sent to the City of Auburn, with a request for $ 1 ,000.00
advance from their budget contribution to the VRPC, for
the year of 1969. This advance funding would enable the
Valley Regional Planning Commission to continue operating
sufficently through the remainder of 1968.
It was requested by the Executive Committee, to appoint
two more Vice- Presidents and a Treasurer. A motion was
made and passed to have it read into the by- laws, that
each office should be filled by a member from each individual
city. Gordon Gould, of Algona, was appointed 2nd Vice-
President; Dave Van Hoose, of Auburn, was appointed 3rd
Vice-President , and Francis Pugh, of Pacific was appointed
Treasurer.
John Porter, County Administrator, was one of the Speakers
of the evening. He spoke of the Forward Thrust Funding
and the process by which the cities are eligible for the
funds for parks and outdoor recreation developments.
Paul Meyer, Executive Secretary of Board of King County
Freeholders, also spoke of the advantages to be received
by the passing of the Proposed County Charter, on November
5th.
Jan Klippert announced, it was just one year ago, the
VRPC hired a part-time secretary. In the past year, the
VRPC has been able to establish a fully furnished office,
including office machines, established a filing, account-
ing, and bookkeeping system; began a large mapping program;
started a library; increased the membership of VRPC, as
well as beginning an Associate Membership program; had a
conference in the spring of 1968, whisk was highly success-

Valley.

It was established the Executive Committee would meet
once a week instead of their usual once a month. This
will enable them to provide a better working function
and follow through of designated projects.
Mr. Sammis made a motion for the following to be one of
the first items to be completed as soon as possible .
I . Completion and update utility charts - water and
sewer lines within a one mile radius of each city.
2. Review the road and highway situation f6r -a one
mile area within the city limits of each city .
3. Review the compatiblity of zoning within one mile
of the city limits of each city and in the county.
This was agreed by all members, to be one of the projects
to be undertaken as soon as possible, however it was felt
at the present time, to allow the Planning Consultant,
who is to be hired, to decide for himself just what would
be the first project to be undertaken.
The General meeting will be held November 21st, at the
Auburn City Hall , at 7:30 P.M.
