body
WHEREAS, in January 2006, Ordinance 122019 authorized Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) to enter into a seven-year lease agreement, with one extension, for materials yard space with the Georgetown LLC for property located at 5821 First Ave South, Seattle, Washington that expires in February 2020; and
