The Metropolitan King County Council will hold a public hearing on Aug. 20 to take testimony on a proposed ordinance that would transfer two county drainage facilities to Renton.

The public hearing on the proposal to transfer will be held before the full council at the King County Courthouse, Room 1001 on Monday, August 20, 2012, at 1:30 p.m.

The properties are on Coal Creek Parkway.

The transfer agreement authorized by the proposed ordinance provides for King County to transfer ownership of specified road-related drainage facility properties to the City of Renton.  The road-related drainage facility properties are being transferred as they serve an area that has been annexed by the city and the city agrees to assume full and complete responsibility for the operation, maintenance, repairs, and any subsequent improvements to the properties and drainage facility.

Copies of proposed ordinance 2012-0229 are available upon request from the Clerk of the King County Council, Room 1200, King County Courthouse, 516 Third Avenue, Seattle, WA 98104, telephone 206-296-1020.  The ordinance is also available at http://www.metrokc.gov/mkcc/clerk.
