as to whether Snohomish County qualifies as an urban county. However, they
are proceeding to make a recommendation that an inter -local agreement be drawn,
and that has to be signed by January 17th according to HUD requirements. Mr. Wallis

take. Councilman Gellert said that he would like to see the agreement at least
a week before the council votes on it. Councilwoman Bruns asked when the
Community Development Committee will commence meetings. Mr. Wallis stated that
it appears that it will be difficult for them to hold a meeting prior to the

Commission Meeting be held jointly and it will be on the Planning Commission Agenda.-'

asked if townhouses were being considered. Mr. Goedecke said they are being

perhaps a secretary could be assigned to take these minutes. He said he is also
concerned about the capability of the equipment to pick up conversations in the
