G. Doug Johnson and Dianne Harper presented information on the ongoing Metro
 Six-Year Plan. Regionally, the main focus is on improved service outside
 downtown Seattle and greater service between outlying areas.
 1. Local planning for Vashon will begin in 1997, take about one year for
 planning, then be forwarded to the County Council.
 2. Plan documents are available at the Vashon Public Library.
H. John Affolter and others presented more information on the Public Health &
 Safety Network's draft report.
 1. Network members explained that their procedures were set forth by the
 legislation establishing the Networks.
 2. The eventual outcome will be coordination of all social services on the
 island.
 3. Three main focuses are substance abuse, abuse and neglect, and domestic
 abuse.
I. Alice Larson presented a written response to the draft report, criticizing
 the report's lack of backup documentation, statistical analysis, summaries
 of information, and other features usually found in community needs
 assessments.
 1. Many speakers defended the Network's less rigorous approach, focusing
 on the importance of consensus and cooperative work.
 2. Other speakers questioned the lack of reporting to the Community
 Council since representatives were selected in December of 1994 -- why
 was the VMICC not kept abreast of Network developments during more than
 a year of work?
 3. A copy of the draft report should be available at the Library.
J. Owners of several walk-in homes at the North End presented their problems
 with finding on-street parking and a proposed solution.
 1. Previously available on-street parking traditionally used by walk-in
 homes in the area has been eliminated by County road work or filled by
 commuters because of inadequate commuter parking.
 2. The County has agreed that some areas where on-street parking is
 currently illegal may be suitable for a limited number of parking
 spaces. The homeowners would like these spaces to be made available
 for residents through a permit system for walk-in houses.
 3. This would not take away any existing legal parking spaces for
 commuters or other residents, and would provide approximately one
 parking space per walk-in house.
 4. Enid Dolstad introduced a Motion "That the VMICC support the
 establishment of parking by permit at the bottom of the hill at the
 North End for 3 vehicles of 3 residences west of the Ferry Dock as
 requested at the April 15 meeting."
 a. As the motion is not of an urgent nature, it will be on the agenda
 at the next General Meeting of the Vashon Maury Island Community
 Council.
