SUBJECT: Administrative Report
• Renton River Days, our annual family festival and community celebration, returns on
July 21 - 23, 2023, with three days of family-oriented events, activities, and parade.
Please go to Rentonwa.gov/riverdays for all updated information and the event
details, locations, and schedule. This year’s theme is “Where Community Grows,”
highlighting our Parks and Recreation month. We look forward to seeing you there.
• The Parks and Recreation dept. was awarded $904,440 from King County for Henry
Moses Aquatic Center updates. Work will include stabilization of the failing
perimeter tile and the entire liner of the leisure activity pool. Additional work will
enhance circulation and access/egress at the main facility entrance by removing an
unused water feature and creating an open, inviting area for the public. The
projected start date is January 2024 with completion by the end of May 2024, prior
to the 2024 HMAC season.
• The Parks and Recreation dept. was awarded a $350,000 grant from the RCO funding
board for design and construction improvements to existing tennis and pickleball
courts at Talbot Hill Reservoir Park. In addition to sport court improvements, the
project includes installation of new park amenities including a covered seating area,
water fountain, bike rack, benches, refuse containers, and paddle holders. The
existing parking lot will be renovated with seal coat, curbing, striping, and signage to
better serve park users.
• Information about preventative street maintenance, traffic impact projects, and
road closures happening this week can be found at http://rentonwa.gov/traffic. All
projects are weather permitting and unless otherwise noted, streets will always
remain open. Preventative street maintenance, traffic impact projects, and road
