Street Maintenance Superintendent Goodman reviewed the study conducted by the Washington State Department of Transportation regarding the left turn lane from Grant Road onto Valley Mall Parkway.

MAYOR'S REPORT Marie Garrett, representing Douglas County Public Works, reviewed the Solid Waste Program with Douglas County up to the present time. Ms. Garrett explained the timeframes for the different entities to sign the interlocal agreement and how this could affect the program, especially the grant applications. Mayor Jenkins, from the City of Bridgeport, spoke to Council regarding his concerns with the program. He said the proposed budget breakdown is unclear as to estimated expenditures. Mayor Jenkins added a meeting of the Solid Waste Advisory Committee (SWAC) had been requested with the Douglas County Commissioners ' and to date no response to the request had been made. Councilmember McKee said the City did support the concept and the program, however, he felt more clarification and information was needed. Councilmember Cassel said the city probably would opt in, but agreed more information was needed. Council agreed by consensus for Mayor McGraw to send a letter to the County Commissioners requesting a meeting of the SWAC as soon as possible.
