AVERY GARRETT, MAYOR �8 194 R�� cid. '6/AFD ` c ofR February,20, 1974 I have carefully studied Ordinance No. 2826 that was passed on Monday, February 11, that abolished Ordinance No. 1271 that had created the Renton Aviation Board, defined its responsibilities, etc. Additionally, I.have considered the manner in which Ordinance No. 2826 was passed by the Council. Both the substance of the ordinance and the process that resulted in its passage are factors that deserve equal attention in my consideration whether to sign the ordinance, veto the ordinance, or let it take effect without my signature. I have chosen to let the ordinance take effect without my signature for one principal reason: a stronger veto action would only serve to further exacerbate the situation and this is not healthy for the community or public officials in general. I say this because I feel strongly that the Council's action to abolish the Aviation Board deserved much more open, public consideration, as is provided in the Council's procedures for one week time periods between first, second and final reading of ordinances. Additionally, there is generally a public hearing on a matter as important as that of abolishing the Aviation Board, that has existed since 1947. The introduction and passage of an ordinance not necessitating emergency action was highly irregular and a disservice to the current and past members of the Renton Aviation Board. A veto of the ordinance that had only one dissenting vote would appear to lead to a certain override and, therefore, serve no useful purpose. I am making arrangements to assume direct responsibility for the .administrative operation of the Municipal Airport in the same manner as with other administrative functions of the City, and will be appointing Del Bennett as Airport Director. I am looking forward to the successful operation of the airport. Sincerely, 1 y ar A Mayolp cc: Aviation Board Members /City Clerk N
