2.
Ms. Patterson reported on the Regional Transportation Investment District Stakeholders meeting and
indicated many different stakeholders were in attendance, i.e., the environmentalists, business
representatives from Seattle, South King County and East King County and the League of Women
Voters. The group had an excellent discussion representing their points of view regarding when the
RTID should be put on the ballot. Also discussed was the type of revenue that should be used. A
consensus was reached that 2003 is too early to put the transportation proposal on the ballot. Ms.
Patterson stated that it was good to listen to constituencies and get good information from them.

Mr. Irons briefed the Council on the fourth and final outreach meeting of the Regional
Transportation Investment District, held in Renton. It was well attended by elected officials as well

meeting. Mr. Irons indicated the meeting was very informative and that he is looking forward to
more meetings of this type in the future.
