Google Groups
Murray Basin Community Advisory Group - 
a Google groups page was set up to provide a location to share information when the CAG was meeting. This page has been closed now that the CAG has issued a report and recommendation.

The Murray Basin CAG will meet approximately two times a month between June and September 2010. CAG meetings are open to the public to observe, and an opportunity for public comment to the CAG will be offered at each meeting. CAG meetings will be facilitated by a neutral facilitator provided by King County and summaries of each CAG meeting will be made available to the CAG and to the public on the King County website (see meeting calendar).

Membership

The Murray Basin CAG will have up to 12 members who represent: residents who live near the proposed three potential facility sites; residents from the broader Murray Basin; representative(s) from the Morgan Community Association (MoCA) and the Fauntleroy Community Association; representatives from environmental protection organizations; and one representative from the King County Wastewater Treatment Division. The Seattle Parks Department will be invited to participate as an ex-officio member of the CAG.

King County conducted stakeholder interviews to inform the list of potential members and identify interested parties as well as community issues and concerns to be addressed with the CAG.

King County’s goal for the CAG

Develop a stronger connection with the community as the County moves forward with identifying and implementing a Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) solution.

Roles and responsibilities of the CAG

  • CAG members will represent themselves and their community members
  • CAG members will advise King County on CSO solutions in the Murray basin. The CAG will help King County make a stronger connection with the community
  • The CAG will help King County provide information to the community so community members can provide meaningful input, help the County solve the serious problems of combined sewer overflows, and help the County reach a reasonable and technically feasibly solution
  • The CAG will provide advice, as community representatives, on potential solutions and ways to address community concerns.
