The Greater Maple Valley Unincorporated Area Council (GMVUAC) will hold its monthly meeting on Monday, September 10, from 7:00 to 9:30 PM at the Maple Valley Fire Station (SE corner of SE 231st St / SR-169 intersection across from the Sheriff’s Precinct).
We will discuss the State and County responses to the State Supreme Court’s Hirst decision (ensure water is both legally and factually available for any proposed use) and their action plans to implement the State Legislature’s fix. Invited guest speakers include representatives from the State Department of Ecology (DOE), the County Department of Permitting and Environmental Review (DPER), and the County Department of Natural Resources and Parks.
Members of the public are always welcome to attend and can address the Area Council on any local issue of concern during an Open Comment period at the start of each meeting. Your Area Council represents unincorporated area residents living in the Tahoma School District and advocates to King County—our local government—on issues of importance to local citizens in the areas of growth management, transportation, environment, and economy.
Your Area Council also works with nearby cities of Maple Valley, Covington, Issaquah, and Black Diamond on local issues. King County, Regional, and State officials often address the Area Council and local residents. Please see: www.gmvuac.org.
