2023-08-05 21:57Highline Water District Settlement Agreement With Port Of Seattle Pr December 1 1999 0001
Sending the Southwest Metropolitan Area since 1946 Water District Reaches Settlement Agreement With Port of Seattle Highline Water District announces that a favorable settlement agreement has been made with the Port of Seattle regarding the District’s water rights and service area. The District has participated in continued negotiations with the Port since September 1998 and was pleased to sign the agreement on November 30, 1999. Signing of the settlement agreement came after the District’s board of Commissioners adopted a resolution during its November 15th regular meeting allowing General Manager Peggy Bosley and the District’s legal counsel to proceed and finalize negotiations with the Port. The settlement agreement comes at a time of intense interest from citizen groups opposed to the third runway. The Water District takes no official position regarding the proposed third runway. The Water District is a Special Purpose District under the laws of the State of Washington and, as such, is obligated to protect its water rights and service areas to insure that its ability to provide clean, safe drinking water to the residents of the District is not compromised. The Settlement Agreement that was reached fulfills these obligations. “Highline Water District is completely impartial to the 'third runway’ debate,” said General Manager Bosley. “It does not impact our decision one way or the other.” Bosley also stated that the negotiation process has been ongoing for some time and that the settlement agreement is in the absolute best interest for Highline Water District and its customers. ###… -
