Dunn, R-Maple Valley, also introduced motions requiring better county coordination with other agencies, improved notification of residents of flood danger, and a review of impediments to flood cleanup.

Lambert, R-Redmond, joined Dunn in co-sponsoring the motion for better coordination with local, state and federal agencies. The ordinance and motions were introduced before the County Council's meeting tonight at 6:30 at Tolt Middle School in Carnation to review the county's response to the floods.
