time related to the parking lot layout, access, park frontage improvements, and
potential utility conflicts. The engineering work also included modified design

10. Mayor and Council Initiatives
Councilmember Foster attended the Nisqually River Council meeting and the
Yelm Finance Committee meeting.
Councilmember Isom appeared before the House Transportation Committee to
testify on House Bill 1954, which passed and is moving forward. That Bill has
funding for the SR 510 Loop project. It still has quite a process to complete before
we would see funding. Councilmember Isom attended an interesting Sustainable
Thurston meeting where they discussed goals of the group and future
accomplishments.
Councilmember McGowan attended the Yelm Finance Committee meeting and
reported the City's First Quarter report is on track and maybe even a little bit
better than expected due to building in the community. Councilmember McGowan
also attended the Thurston County HOME Consortium with Mayor Harding. Mayor
Harding stated Councilmember McGowan did a fantastic job representing the City
of Yelm's point of view.
Mayor Harding attended the Special Meeting at Joint Base Lewis McCord (JBLM)
regarding possibly downsizing due to the 2011 Budget Act. A reduction of 80,000
troops expected over the next couple of years. There is a community wide
outreach nationwide soliciting feedback from the various communities and the
impact this proposed downsizing would have on them. The City of Yelm will
submit a letter that talks about our community and the positive impacts that JBLM
has on it.
Shelly Badger reminded everyone of the Arbor Day Celebration on Friday and the
Home and Garden this weekend at the Yelm High School.
Joe Baker thanked Tami Merriman, Associate Planner for thoroughly answering
questions he had regarding a project on Berry Valley Road. Councilmember Baker
stated Council should be proud of our staff.
