Discussion re: Process of funding advertisement for, and act of recruiting
accounting professional for NPRSA (NPRSA audit).

NPRSA ramp up study finances are contingent (by several member entities)upon
collective participation.

County entities have different funding/budget processes vs City
members. Thus the process takes a little more time and effort.

Manny Ocampo presentation - review 2003 study, and update re: 2008
study possibilities.

would be an excuse for another "Bothell project". Bill Evans
countered that central was fair and that is where the major access
infrastructure lies.

Bill Leak described lengthy existing wait lists to private pools, significant
projected population growth described in Vision 2040, marketing opportunity for
the NPRSA region of Olympics connection (Seattle Synchro, a CAW/Saint Edward
