Staff outlined the condemnation procedure for right-of-way acquisitions on 179th Street, noting that a public hearing will be required to declare a public use necessity if property negotiations reach an impasse. Additionally, the council addressed a constituent's concern raised during open public comment regarding Washington State University's reserved traffic trips. The county engineer clarified that the development agreement allocating those trips to the campus has since expired.

What was said
2:50:06 where we have next to the gas station there, and the entry into -- the main entrance into the fairgrounds, and this is kind of the -- a good footprint of what is being designed at this point. And so this is -- this would be the second resolution. And then the last slide, please. Well, the last slide would be, yeah, the construction of the new alignment of -- from 15th on up and connect to 10th Avenue. So this is a big project. It's going to be phased over several years, but this is just kicking it off, having you tell staff, "Go forth and go get the right-of-way." Do you have any questions? Are there any questions?
2:51:04 Maybe in this case it's good to come last. One thing that was raised during the open public comment was related to WSU and their allocated amount of traffic. Jeremy's coming up. Maybe you could address that. And maybe if you're not prepared to address that today, I would like to have a follow-up for Heidi's concern. There were reserve trips. That those are capped? Yeah, good afternoon. Jeremy Provenzola, county engineer. The development agreement that afforded the Washington State campus to vest trips has expired. So I believe that's what the constituent was referring to. Have we spoken to WSU?
2:51:58 Is this okay with them or is it just -- I understand they're aware that it has expired. But we've not engaged in specific conversations about it, no. If there's any concern. Okay. Thank you. Not specific to this request, but I was just curious while you were here. Right. Of course. All right. Related to the request on item 6, are there any questions or concerns?
