		Mr. Irons reported on the Eastside Transportation Partnership. The main focus of the meeting was on the project list for RTID. The members approved a list of recommended projects with one change regarding SR-520, from the cities of Sammamish and Redmond. Mr. McKenna added that the ETP cities are very concerned about SR-520, and do not believe it is possible to replace the bridge under the current financial scenario that RTID is considering. A letter from ETP will be addressed to the cities regarding further discussion of this item. Ms. Edmonds reported on her attendance at WRIA 7 (Watershed Resource Inventory Area - King/Snohomish Basin). The group discussed goals and objectives and how to define them into a more workable format, and also reviewed the SRF (salmon recovery funding) Board criteria. The group also heard project updates and had a discussion regarding a recommendation from Councilmember Sax of the Snohomish County Council to disband the Board and recreate it. The group did not approve that recommendation.
