the city had not yet obtained liability insurance for the city's directors and officers. He added that a special Council meeting would be a possibility if the insurance matter was settled prior to May 26, 1999. g _ agy, 1304 251 Avenue SE, Issaquah 98029, presented a pine gavel to Mayor Dyer.» James Jordan urged the Council to hold a special Council meeting if the insurance is in place prior to the May 26, 1999 Council meeting. Sharyn Shipley, 3911 222 Avenue NE, Issaquah 98029, stated she was concerned about establishing a development moratorium that would affect small homeowners. She explained that before the moratorium is enacted, she had Ahoped to sell one of the two lots that she owned, but had just learned that King County has lost all records on her property. Councilmember Huckabay recalled that the proposed moratorium resolution included an exception for smaller plats. Mr. Disend added that the proposed resolution did contain a hardship provision; citizens could come before the City Council and it could exempt property from the moratorium. Jason Tauscher, 22804 NE 25 Street, Redmond 98053, asked if the Council would be discussing the possibility of changing the name of the city. "He added that he hoped there would some discussion on this issue and proposed that the city hold a contest to name the new city. Mayor Dyer replied that the residents can expect the Council to discuss this issue in the near future. He explained that any name change would require a ballot measure. Councilmember Kilroy added that it would cost money to change the city's name after signs welcoming people to the city are erected and the city has ordered stationery, etc. Bob George, 3330 East Beaver Lake Drive SE, Issaquah 98029, stated that the city could not rely on the Sammamish Plateau Water and Sewer District to effect a moratorium. The district and the Council, he continued, need to discuss water supply in the future. Mayor Dyer stated that the Land Use and Zoning Committee and perhaps the Intergovernmental Relations Committees would discuss those issues.
May 12, 1999 Tory Christian, 3023 East Lake Sammamish Parkway NE, Redmond 98053: expressed his concern that the East Lake Sammamish Trail development by King County would not be Subject to the city's proposed development moratorium. l_ }g t, Chair, East Lake Sammamish Association, stated that he was impressed with the conduct of the City Council meeting and the work accomplished to date. Greg Allen, 530 254 Avenue NE, Redmond 98053, recommended that the city select the Sammamish Review as its official newspaper. He stated that he and other residents would like to know the Committee meeting schedules so that they can provide input. There is a lot of expertise in the community, he continued, and the citizens want to be involved early in the process. He noted several concerns relating to the proposed resolution on the development moratorium, and in particular, that the moratorium would sunset with the incorporation date, which he felt was too soon. Mayor Dyer stated that he had directed each of the Committee chairs to prepare a Committee schedule, as well as a community involvement plan. He suggested that Mr. Allen refer his remarks to the Land Use and Zoning Committee. Councilmember Huckabay requested that Mr. Allen present a written summary of his testimony so the Committee could discuss the issues raised with the City Attorney and other Councilmembers prior to the next meeting. Mayor Dyer clarified that under state law a new city is allowed to enact a development moratorium and then hold a public hearing. The purpose of that law is to enable a new city to preempt a rush of development applications that could be submitted while the city is getting organized, he explained. The maximum length of the moratorium is six months, and if it were extended a new set of findings and conclusions would have to be adopted, he concluded. James Jordan asked how Councilmembers would handle a conflict of interest? He added that the intersection of SE 4 Street and 228 Avenue NE is extremely dangerous. He urged the Council to identify a site for a park and ride soon before all of the parcels available are taken. He concluded that the residents need their own buses to Seattle.

He suggested that the city contract with a transportation consultant who is familiar with the King County transportation concurrency model; Perhaps, he concluded, some of the development projects could be scaled down or modified to meet concurrency requirements. John Abrason, 24517 SE 30 Street, Issaquah 98029, stated that the left-hand turn from 228 Avenue NE into the library can be dangerous and recommended that the speed on the roadway north of the intersection at 228 Avenue NE and Inglewood Hill Road be reduced. With the development across the street from the library, he was concerned that soon there would be a fatality. Lisa Shenk, 1714 East Beaver Lake Drive SE, Issaquah 98029, requested that the city's Transportation Committee review the Beaver Lake Loop Study. She also invited the Councilmembers to attend the next watershed meeting.
