MOVED BY ZWICKER, SECONDED BY BRIERE, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE PROCLAMATION. CARRIED. Dian E. Ferguson (Tukwila), speaking on behalf of the West Hill Business Association and the West Hill "YES" Community, expressed concern about the possible postponement of the vote on West Hill Annexation, and asked Council to allow the election to take place in November. She stated that they have been working hard on their public education campaign, and that the uncertainty of date makes it difficult for them to proceed. Ms. Ferguson acknowledged that the cost of annexation will not be fully compensated, but believed that there are alternate ways to pursue the funding. She reiterated that Renton will gain benefit in the long term if the Skyway and West Hill area becomes part of the city. Ms. Ferguson concluded by urging Council to understand the importance of moving the vote forward. Councilmember Corman remarked that Council plans a serious discussion about the potential postponement. He explained that the initial understanding was that the City Council could still make a decision on whether or not to accept the annexation after the vote, and the City Attorney has now advised that might not be the case. He further explained the administration's concerns about the budget and the related legislative uncertainty. Mr. Corman expressed appreciation for the West Hill residents' participation in the annexation. Ms. Ferguson responded that they have been talking to the people who are actively working on the campaign and speaking with political leaders. She commented that there might be different interpretations of the law regarding the annexation process.
