On May 22 the Shoreline City Council held a special meeting to authorize a lawsuit against Ronald Wastewater District for a perceived breach of its Interlocal Agreement with the City. Heeding public comment that was unanimously opposed to the City filing suit, Mayor McGlashan announced that the Council would not sue and the Council directed city staff to open a dialogue with the District.
On June 12, 2013, Ronald Wastewater District presented a letter to the City of Shoreline requesting a date for such a dialogue “in a spirit of mutual respect.” The District believes both agencies are “motivated by what is in the best interest of the people who pay for and depend upon sewer and other government services.”
According to Board President Wadekamper, “There are some significant legal flaws with the Interlocal Agreement. We want to talk with the City about them and negotiate a mutually agreeable solution in good faith.”
See the District letter below.
