C. Announcements and Appointments 1. Announcements a) Pu,qet Sound Regional Council Puget Sound Regional Council Executive Director Mary McCumber and Mr. Ben Bakkenta presented the Council with information regarding urban centers. Ms. McCumber covered the background of urban centers for the four-county region comprised of King, Kitsap, Pierce and Snohomish Counties and how the theory relates to the Growth Management Act. She Page I City of Auburn Council Minutes March 4, 200? presented handouts describing centers and compact communities Vision 2020 and Destination 2030, the region's growth and transportation strategy. She explained that in the late 1980's most of the new growth in the region was occurring outside of cities. Local governments within the four-county region voluntarily came together under the Puget Sound Council of Governments (later the Puget Sound Regional Council) to reach agreement on growth management, transportation, and other infrastructure issues for the region. Vision 2020, adopted in 1990, promoted a livable region and focused growth with facilities thereby protecting forestlands, farmlands and environmentally sensitive areas. Although Vision 2020 did not have any authority, it provided a starting point for the same issues under the Growth Management Act. The Growth Management Act relies on local decision-making for growth planning, provides for consistency among neighboring communities, and requires countywide planning policies that set the direction for cities and counties. Mr. Bakkenta reviewed the urban center designation processes for the four-county region. Vision 2020 provided that local jurisdictions, working with their county, would identi~ urban centers. The King County Countywide Planning Policies outline the process for designating urban centers. The nomination for urban center designation is made by the jurisdiction to the Growth Management Planning Council (GMPC). The GMPC evaluates the nomination based upon the urban center criteria adopted by the County. There are currently twelve urban centers in King County: Bellevue, Federal Way, Kent, Redmond, Renton, Seattle (5), SeaTac and Tukwila. Mr. Bakkenta briefly reviewed the progress of the urban centers' since their designation. He noted that the 1990 and 2000 figures for population, housing units, and employment displayed on the urban center tables represent census numbers; the target number originated from the Page 2 City of Auburn Council Minutes March 4, 200? jurisdiction. According to Mr. Bakkenta, as of yet, there are no negative consequences for not meeting target numbers. King County GMPC is now developing new population target numbers for cities. Mr. Bakkenta briefly reviewed the region's new transportation strategy Destination 2030 map. The map identifies the urban centers and the types of transportation improvements that are planned to link the centers between 2001 and 2030. Ms. McCumber stressed that the urban center designation is based on the decisions made at the local level through the countywide planning process. Destination 2030 will more closely link transportation decisions with the region's growth strategy. Also, the federal funding that comes through the region will be focused in the places for the major urban centers in the region and/or connecting corridors. She recommended the Council revisit the idea of urban center designation. 2. Appointments There were no appointments for Council consideration. D.
