periencing rapid growth with its attendant benefits and problems;

mobility,economic health,natural environment,recreational op-
portunities,and our ability to provide efficient public ser-
vices;and

dents can be maintained if the cities and the County jointly plan
and act for the County's future.
NOW,THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS:
section 1.The Cities and the County of Snohomish agree
that greater cooperation between the cities and the County is
needed to successfully meet the challenges of growth during the
next three decades.
section 2.The cities and the County of Snohomish agree
that the concept of a long term growth strategy such as outlined
in the Snohomish County Tomorrow program may offer an opportunity
to address the future of the County and the cities.
section 3.The Cities and the County of Snohomish are
willing to designate a special committee with an elected repre-
sentative from each jurisdiction to work on the outline of a long
term growth strategy and corresponding technical work program.
The committee should submit its recommendations no later than De-

ment the work program.Such a staffing arrangement may involve
the reconstitution of the Council of Governments SUb-regional
Council,or it may take some other form.However,an independent
body would provide an element of independence for all partici-
pants.
