The,Petition was signed by service station owners and operators now doing business in the City, . Moved by Morris, seconded by Perry, to refer the matter to the io[nmittee of the Whole. Discussion ensued regarding the constitutionality of any such ordinance,, City Attorney Shellan advising of this matter having come up only once in the Courts and that the Ordinance was struck down as unconstitutional. City control can only be exercised as the matter may pertain to public health, safety and welfare. After inquiries regarding possible control of distances between the stations and use of public right of way for accesses, the pending motion carried, referring the matter to the Committee of the Whole. Carried. A Petition containing•eight signatures beginning with Ballestrasse and ending with Mann, requested Vacation of alleyway running East and West from Rainier Avenue to 87th Avenue South between Grady Way and South 148th Street. Moved by Perry, seconded by Hulse, to refer the Petition to the Street and Alley Committee to report back. It was pointed out by Attorney Shellan that the Petition should be checked for validity inas- much as no procedure may be entertained unless 2/3 of the abutting property owners have affixed signatures to the Petition. The pending motion carried. A Petition was read containing 12 signatures of abutting property owners on the Black River Channel between 2nd and 3rd Avenues requesting Vacation of the subject area. Moved by Perry, seconded by Bruce, to refer the Petition to the City Engineer for verification of validity. Carried.

Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Schellert, to refer the matter as recommended. Carried. A letter from Mr. Edward J. Logan, King County Sup't. of Elections, Certified the results of the September 15th Special Election Lake Washington Park Bond Proposition as follows: Yes: 3,336, No: 2,431 - Defeated.- Results were duly canvassed by the King County Canvassing Board of Election Returns on September 25, 1964.

Stender, Clerk of the Board of King County Commissioners requested support of the City of Renton in the formation of a flood control zone district in the May Creek Basin area. Mr. Allen Lang from the King County Engineer's Office, as Public Relations representative, addressed the assembly advising that the City was being asked to participate because the law required that a flood control district include all areas within the control shed and inasmuch as it extends to boundaries within the City it therefore must be approved by the City. The properties to be benefitted would at this time assume the financial obligation and it was projected that the City would not be involved as far as funding unless at some future time the voters should elect to establish inclusion, in which case the properties not the City would be assessed. ' Moved by 'Hulse,seconded by Perry, to refer the matter to the Committee of the Whole. Carried.
