EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT
M E M O R A N D U M
DATE: January 8, 2018
TO: Ed Prince, Council President
Members of Renton City Council
FROM: Denis Law, Mayor
Jay Covington, Chief Administrative Officer
SUBJECT: Administrative Report
Inclement Weather Response Reminder: The Public Works Department would like
to remind residents to help us prevent local residential street flooding by monitoring
catch basins near your home and keeping them clear of leaves and other debris.
Street sweepers are dispatched daily to clean up debris along major arterials. Also,
snow is not far away. Please remember that during snow and ice events, the
department sanders and snow plows are dispatched to keep major arterials drivable.
Visit our website at http://rentonwa.gov/living/default.aspx?id=21258 to view our
snow route maps. It is imperative that motorists do not park or abandon their
vehicles within any portion of the traffic lanes. Abandoned vehicles impair snow and
ice removal and impact response of emergency vehicles.
