The Greater Maple Valley Unincorporated Area Council (GMVUAC) will hold its first monthly meeting of the new year on Monday, February 3, 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 have two major topics with speakers:
(1) State Department of Ecology’s Tim O’Connor and Alan Noell will provide an update on the Reserve Silica Mine Site Model Toxics Control Act Cleanup.
(2) The King County Sheriff’s Office will discuss recent local burglaries and what it is doing and what residents can do.
Members of the public are always welcome to attend and can address the Area Council on any local issue during an Open Comment period at the start of each meeting.
Your Area Council represents and advocates for unincorporated Rural Area residents living in the Tahoma School District on many issues to King County (our local government), the Puget Sound Regional Council (our regional planning organization), and the State. Officials from each often address members of the public and the Area Council at its monthly meetings.
The Area Council has four subject-matter Committees: Growth Management, Transportation, Environment, and Economic Development. Please see the Committee drop-down menus at: www.gmvuac.org. The Area Council currently has some open seats and, if you would like to be considered for Area Council membership, please send an e-mail to: info@gmvuac.org.
