XII. MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBER REPORTS
At this trme the Mayor and City Councrl may report on their significant City-related
actrvities since the last regular Council meeting.
A. From the Council
Councilmember Holman reflected on Martin Luther King Junior Day of Service
and Dr. King's commitment to community as demonstrated by Dr. King's words:
"In a real sense all life is interreleted. All men are caught in an inescapable
network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one
directly affects all indirecfly. I can never be what I ought to be until you are what
you ought to be, and you can never be what you ought to be until I am what I
ought to be. This is the interrelated structure of reahty." Councilmember Holman
quoted further from Dr. King: "Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred
rather than love. Violence is imprectical because it is a descending spiral ending
in destruction for all. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent
rather than win his understanding; it seeks to annihilate rather than convert.
Violence ends up defeating its.elf. It creates bitterness in the survivors and
lirutality in the destroyers."
Councilmember Peloza spoke in favor of a paint stewardship program that would
provide for the recycling of unused p.ain4. Councilmember Peloza spoke
regarding House Bill 1571 that was introduced during the 2015 legislative
session but was never passed out of committee. HB 1571 would have required
producers of architectural paint to participate in a stewardship program, and
Councilmember Peloza urged citizens to contact their state legislators and
express their support for such a program. Councilmember Peloza also reported
on his attendance at the South County Area Transportation Board meeting,
Green River Cyclery/Buste.d Bike Cafe ribbon cutting ceremony, and a Regional
Policy Committee meeting.

Regional Council Transportation Policy Board meeting. Councilmember Wagner
