A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF AUBURN, WASHINGTON, SUPPORTING
THE FORMATION OF A VALLEY CITIES'
ASSOCIATION
WHEREAS, for the last number of years, there has been greater
interaction between the cities of Fife, Puyallup, Sumner, Auburn, Algona, Pacific,
Kent, Renton and Tukwila, relative to a variety of issues with which they contend
and on which they have common or very similar positions; and
WHEREAS, in order to be more effective in best determining how to
address problems that these cities have in common, it would be advantageous
for them to coordinate their efforts, combining resources and uniting in collective
responses; and
WHEREAS, in addition to the joint efforts that could be given by the cities
to address common problems, the gathering of these jurisdictions into a common
unit would present a more forceful presence in terms of effecting changes
necessary for their benefit regionally and across the state.

HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The Mayor is hereby authorized to work with the mayors,
