Welcome New Members:

Processes and Goals for the Coming Year:

Edie J. outlined some of the goals for the FCUAC for 2004 and the beginning steps in that direction:

The agenda format will be different - in general, the Main Presentation will be moved closer to the top of the agenda for each meeting, and the Officer reports and routine UAC business will be moved to the end of the agenda.
Stated the goal of appointing a Communications Coordinator in order to improve our community visibility and other official representation of the UAC and its policies

Appointments of Representative for the Remaining Open Seats:

Edie J. called for candidates to stand for the remaining Open Seats. The following residents expressed their wish to serve, gave a brief statement, and answered questions:

- Paul Zucati (District 5)
- Marilyn Sullivan (District 2)
- ~~David Rockabrand (District 1)~~ (candidacy withdrawn during course of discussion)
- Dick Fackenthall (District 8)
- Vern Redecker (District 10)

As specified by the FCUAC Bylaws, Vern Redecker was automatically appointed to the Open Seat for District 10, where he resides.

The remaining candidates were invited to leave the room and a vote of the sitting councilmembers determined that Dick F. and Marilyn S. would be appointed to the remaining Appointed At Large seats. The vote was a tie. For the purpose of establishing 1^st and 2^nd appointments, David D. flipped a coin. Dick F. was recorded first.

Proposed Letter and Position Paper:

Councilmembers requested that Gwendolyn H. arrange a special meeting as early as possible in January on this issue and invite King County staff to inform us further. Meeting arrangements will be posted on the website as soon as possible.

Procedure for Issues and Correspondence to be Raised:

§	Kelly F. presented a proposal for a process by which issues of concern should be presented to the FCUAC, considered by the members and policy statements and correspondence adopted. This procedure is available for review here, and will be voted on at the January Regular meeting.

Deputy's Reports:

- No map this month
- There continue to be thefts of cars left running in the driveway. Leave a running vehicle unattended is illegal and could result in a citation. It is also the easiest way for thieves to steal cars.
- Be sure to use extra caution in parking lots while shopping. Loading packages into your car is a prime target situation for robbery at this time of year.
- There have been no more cat burglary reports. There were some arrests that may be related to those incidents.
- King County Sheriff Non-Emergency Phone Number: 206-296-3311

Transportation Committee Report:

Gwendolyn H. reported on the I-405 Corridor Plan presentation from the Cedar River Council Meeting of November 24.

- There is only one direct construction project slated for the FCUAC area - 156^th Ave SE, but it is in the 20 Year Vision section and no planning/scheduling/etc. is likely for the next few years.
- There are three "Nickel Plan" projects slated for construction between 2006 and 2011 for the stretch of I-405 between the junction with SR 167 and the exit at SE 30^th.
- The plan for environmental mitigation for these projects is very different than traditional plans. 1) They will be reviewing the entire impacted drainage basins to determine the most effective application of the required mitigation funds; 2) They plan to install environmental mitigation projects before construction begins; 3) On-site mitigation and drainage plans will be the most intensive and largest scale pilot projects Low Impact Development techniques.

Executive Committee Report:

Edie J. reported on the recommendations resulting from the Executive Committee Meeting of December 8.

- Insurance invoice must be presented to King County for reimbursement before the end of the year. There was discussion of the history of our attempts to investigate the FCUAC insurance levels and reasonableness of the fees. Marilyn S. volunteered to investigate and report. Gwendolyn H. will get copies of all insurance documentation her ASAP.
- Edie J. asked is there were any other invoices of receipts to be presented for reimbursement before year's end. Gwendolyn H. submitted 2 receipts for copies for the New Members Packets and the Concurrency presentation ($4.34 and $9.97). Dick F. moved for reimbursement, Ronda B. seconded. The vote was unanimously approved.
- After all expected expenses are covered, $250 is anticipated to remain in the King County account. Dave D. moved that, at the President's discretion, these funds should be used to purchase office supplies to be used for FCUAC business in 2004. Heather C. seconded. The vote was unanimously approved.
- Kate K., our Treasurer, had reviewed the Treasurer records for the last 3 years, presented a general budget based on that data for 2004. A formal budget will be presented for an adoption vote at the January meeting.
- Current balances: $101.47 in the WaMu account; $6222.37 in the King County Account
- The corporation renewal for 2003 was not submitted an our corporation was dissolved by the Washington Secretary of State in June. Kate K. has already investigated and requested the necessary forms to re-instate the corporation. The forms are on their way and the fee is $30. Progress will be reported at the January Regular Meeting
- Edie J. called for volunteers for the Election/Nominating Committee of 2004. The annual Election is the most involved and time sensitive obligation of the FCUAC.
