The Renton City Council will vote Monday, November 8, on whether to let a
proposed 65-house development proceed next to our Black River herons.

Plan to attend this city council meeting. It's very important to send the
message to the Councilmembers that we care about our herons. No testimony
will be taken. Our presence speaks volumes.

REVISED SCHEDULE:
WHEN: Monday, November 8, at 7:30 pm.
WHERE: Renton City Hall, 1055 S. Grady Way, on the 7th floor in the
Council Chambers

A yes vote by the council would go against the strong recommendation of
the hearing examiner who, after four full days of testimony -- one of the
longest hearings in the history of Renton, recommended an environmental
impact statement evaluating the development?s impact on the herons?
habitat.

We fully expect the Council will accept the subcommittee?s recommendation
as it is consistent with the Council?s pro-development orientation.
Renton appears to be on a fast track to get the developer's 65-house
project underway as soon as possible, with as little environmental review
as they can get away with.

Together we can save our herons. The herons have never before needed our
help as much as they do right now.


The herons thank you.
Suzanne Krom, President
Herons Forever
