Councilmember Ransom arrived at 6:25 p.m.

Council discussed the two color scheme options. Several Councilmembers commented that either color scheme would be acceptable. There was Council consensus to defer to staff and the consultant to make the final color choices.

Mayor Jepsen reviewed issues regarding the Shoreline Wastewater District and the letter the District sent to the City regarding a name change. He proposed to send a letter opposing the name change. Council supported the proposal.

Mr. Deis explained the proposed scope of work for the consultant study of water services.

Councilmembers discussed the potential scope of the consultant study. Council reached consensus to proceed with the study, which will ultimately yield analyses of both franchising with the Shoreline Water District and assuming the District.

Mr. Deis distributed copies of a survey from the Suburban Cities Association (SCA). In response to Mr. Deis, Joyce Nichols, Community and Government Relations Manager, discussed why the SCA is requesting members' responses on the survey.
