AUDIENCE COMMENTS Cynthia Collie, Renton, requested the City revoke the business license of the hookah lounge located on Airport Way. She noted that there are shell casings can still be found in a nearby alley after the recent shoot-out that occurred there. She explained that the business is located just a few blocks away from a high school,youth center,the Salvation Army food bank,and numerous homes. She asked why the business was still being allowed to operate even though it has become a public safety concern. Jeanne DeMund, Renton, requested that the City review Puget Sound Energy's current proposal to divide the Energize Eastside project into northern and southern projects for permitting purposes.She remarked that their excuse that rolling blackouts may occur if done as a single project is not believable, as this issue had not been disclosed at any time in the past.She also noted that splitting a project in order to evade permitting requirements is likely illegal. She asked that the City hold Puget Sound Energy to one permitting process. Councilmember Corman added that he did not want to see better treatment of the utility corridor in different areas. He remarked that a single permitting process would ensure equal treatment throughout the utility corridor. Mayor Law remarked that the City would look into this issue.
