Renton Regional Fire Authority – No one present to report.
Molasses Creek/Park Pipeline – Chris reported that himself, Ray and Adrian were contacted by the office of Regan Dunn and were invited to the construction site in the park. They received a report on the current status of the project as well as possible future work that might need to be done.
The final completion schedule is not yet known. They are contracted thru the end of September. It does appear that they have hydro seeded so they must be close to completion.
King County will be replacing the fence sections they had to remove.
Chris reported that as soon as the contractors move off-site and open back up the park to us we will re-open the upper portion. New playground equipment will depend on the 2018 budget approval.
