MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF APRIL 22, 1965
Auburn City Hall
The meeting was called to order at 8:00 p.m. by President Bob Wing. A motion from
the membership to dispense with the reading of the minutes of the previous meeting
passed.
Dave Jensen, Director of Renton City Planning Commission, discussed Rentonts Urban
Comprehensive Plan, showing proposed highway development and accesses. Glen Sherwood
of Kent then discussed how Kentts plans tie in with Rentonts zoning and highway use
plans.
President Bob Wing read a letter from Senator Magnuson concerning the need for a
study by the State of Washington of water resources. Our reply to Senator Magnuson
is that a survey will be made. State Senator Dirken had been contacted by John
Fournier and was able to get $100,000 in the budget through a senate bill for such
a water resource study.
It was reported that the industrial surveys of all four communities were now com-
plete and ready for printing. These will be available to include inihe promotional
folder "TRAK" now being prepared by John Fournier's committee.
Graphs of industrial water rate curves for the four cities prepared by Baldy Sammis
were distributed. Similar graphs comparing sewer rates are to be prepared later.
Warren Gonnason, Assistant County Engineer, although not able to attend, sent in the
report that the County had received a letter from the Corps of Engineers stating that
a new operating procedure limiting the stream flow of the Green River to 5,000 cu.ft-
per second at Auburn had been adopted.
There being no further business the meeting was adjourned at 9:00 p.m.

The next meeting will be Thursday, May 27, 8:00 p.m., Renton City Hall. The meeting,
originally scheduled for Kent, cannot be held there as the City Hall is undergoing
repairs for modest damage incurred during the recent earthquake. This meeting will
be of unusual interest because there will be in attendance representatives of the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Seattle Port Commission, and the King County Flood
Control Committee to discuss a proposal concerning dredging the lower Duwamish River
as a part of the Valley Drainage Plan.
