| Reminder, deadline for public comment to the city is next Thursday June 18th. Please send your letters of comment on the DSEIS in to the city. The EIS (Environmental Impact Statement) is still in draft form, we need to provide the City with data which contradicts what has been presented by the developers. Your public comments will be the basis of the final version. Our arguments should be based on what is legally required by the Tacoma Municipal Code and /or Tacoma Comprehensive Plan and our position that the 1981 agreement prohibits building of the scope proposed. Write you comments using data which shows the impact of traffic, schools and or environmental issues and your own concerns which could prohibit this development. The city has to review and record each letter of comment they receive, so the more we send the better! Your letter does not have to be long and you do not have to sound like an expert. Just express your opinion and let the city know how you feel. That is all it takes. No matter how large or small your comment is. Thanks again for your continued support and dedication. With everyone's help we will save our community and our open space. This is now back in the forefront and topic of conversation with neighbors. We need to keep it that way, remind your friends and neighbors that the battle is ongoing and we are in this to win.

| THE MISSION STATEMENT for Northeast Tacoma defined by NE Tacoma Neighborhood Council
"A low-density residential district with limited commercial and multifamily development, focusing on the automobile for transportation, with access to recreational activities, open space as well as basic public and private facilities and services."
The neighborhood action strategy is designed to maintain and enhance this area vision through public and private actions that address community needs and concerns. The strategy emphasizes:
(a) the preservation of remaining open space, steep slopes and other natural areas;
(b) the development or improvement of arterial streets along with other means of circulation within Northeast Tacoma and in accessing other areas; and
(c) the development or expansion of public facilities and services to meet the community’s growing population.
