TagHighline Community Council(18)

This document contains membership records and meeting minutes from the Highline Community Council, a neighborhood civic organization in the Highline area south of Seattle (near Sea-Tac Airport), dated September 14, 1978. The membership list includes elected representatives from five districts — Evergreen, Glacier, Highline, Mount Rainier, and Tyee — along with their addresses and phone numbers. The meeting minutes record attendance, treasurer's report (noting $17.43 in the treasury and $29.69 in outstanding bills), and a brief committee update on the dormant Social Action Committee.

This document records minutes from a 1978 series of meetings of the Highline Community Council (HCC) regarding the appointment of four citizen representatives to a Policy Advisory Committee (PAC). Key issues discussed included establishing geographic boundaries for representation, setting criteria for appointments, and publicizing openings to invite citizens to serve. Communication breakdowns and procedural disputes—such as unauthorized boundary changes and unfulfilled commitments to write official letters—hampered the process throughout the summer of 1978.

In a July 27, 1978 letter to the Policy Advisory Committee (PAC) chairman at Sea-Tac International Airport, the Highline Community Council president Dorothy Harper objected to a proposed reorganization that would reduce the Council's representative to a non-voting status. The Council argued that retaining a voting seat was essential to effectively represent Highline-area residents in matters related to the Port of Seattle and the Sea-Tac Communities Plan. The letter also emphasized the importance of maintaining a balanced membership on the PAC that equally reflects government, business, and residents' viewpoints.

These documents are from the Highline Communities Plan, a King County planning effort covering neighborhoods surrounding Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The materials include community boundary maps dividing the Highline area into North, West, East, and South zones with approximate 1980 population figures, and minutes from a Policy Advisory Committee meeting held August 11, 1977. The meeting, attended by representatives from the Port of Seattle, FAA, Boeing, King County, and community groups, addressed Boeing's proposed office facility on the west side of Sea-Tac Airport, including discussions on site design, landscaping, parking, and a public viewpoint park.

This April 1976 newsletter from the Highline Community Council covers several local government issues affecting the Highline District near Seattle, including recommendations for siting a new precinct station, county court, and community center. It also addresses the SeaTac Community Plan, a King County Charter Review proposal to potentially merge Metro and King County government, and a community service program placing court-ordered youth workers with nonprofit organizations. Residents were encouraged to participate in ongoing community planning efforts that would shape the area's future development.
