The Highline Forum provides Southwest King County municipalities, educational governing bodies and the Port of Seattle with the opportunity to share information, interact with outside speakers and other governmental organizations and work in partnership on initiatives that benefit the residents of Southwest King County. The Highline Forum is not a formal decision-making body or an inter-local agency. Any action taken by the Forum is based on consensus. Consensus-based actions are the product of discussions among the members and a final call for adoption by the co-chairs. Membership One elected representative and one senior administrator serve as the primary members on the Forum from the following jurisdictions or institutions: • City of SeaTac • City of Burien • City of Des Moines • City of Tukwila • City of Normandy Park • City of Federal Way • Highline Public Schools • Highline College • Port of Seattle Tukwila, Federal Way and Highline College, because of their organizational structure, have the option of having just one primary member serve on the Forum. Each jurisdiction or institution also designates one elected representative alternate and one senior administrator alternate to serve on the Highline Forum when either of the primary members is unable to attend. Alternates also can attend and participate at all Forum meetings. However, their attendance is optional. Prior to the first meeting of the year, each jurisdiction or institution will designate their Forum members. If there is agreement by members, new jurisdictions or institutions can formally be invited to become members…
