The agenda for this meeting:

• Agenda for September 2001
• Reports

The agenda for the September 2001 meeting was discussed. Tentative agenda items:

• City Grant Program- City staff needs at least an hour to discuss this program, for which we are eligible this year ($25,000). Potential topics:
• Neighborhood traffic control (e.g. Norkirk proposal). Can be separate from this program.
• Bridle Trails State Park – make trails easier for people. (e.g. stabilizers, widen trail, trail markers). May not be eligible for this program. Go to state for funding.
• Put break into middle of meeting to allow further discussion of ideas.
• Start meeting at 6:30 pm to allow enough time? Decided this was too early. We may look to extend the meeting to 9:15 if needed.

Other agenda items:

• Report on Comprehensive Plan amendment process
• NE 85^th Honda dealer application
• Transfer station report- tour of Enumclaw station- state-of-the-art design (19 acres) with issues; not much use to our situation.
• Tennis Club bubble
• Transportation- Trans Lake, I-405, downtown Kirkland
• Safe School Routes
• N. Rose Hill Neighborhood Plan
• Water tower property reuse— Move other city uses to this location? Very complex issue. Inappropriate use (i.e industrial) is the main argument. Meeting with individual city council members. Mitigation is a fall-back position to reduce noise effects.

Future Meeting Ideas:

• Candidates forum- together with North Rose Hill- Jessica will follow-up with North Rose Hill (Jeff Traeger). Decided we will not host a forum specific only to our neighborhood.
• Transfer Station
• NE 85^th (Zoning; NE 85^th HOV lanes)

Meeting Attendance concern: Our attendance has been dropping at meetings. Hopefully a good agenda (such as the grants program) will encourage attendance. Board members are also encouraged to help get the word out. Make sure we send an email reminder.

Coffee for the next meeting: Don will contact Dana Young (827-1236)

Question raised: Is NE 60^th a collector arterial by design or by default? Look at Bellevue example. Don will check with city staff.

The meeting was adjourned at 9:00 pm. The next Board of Directors meeting will be October 9, 2001.

Respectfully Submitted,

Donald Samdahl

Secretary
