PROCLAMATION
A proclamation by Mayor Law was read declaring March 11‐17, 2018 to be Girl Scout Week in
the City of Renton, and encouraging all citizens to join in this special observance. Troop
Leader Tanya Taylor accepted the proclamation with appreciation. She thanked Council for
allowing Girl Scout Troop 44196 to conduct the meeting's opening flag ceremony.
Councilmember Witschi noted that she had once been a Girl Scout.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington reviewed a written administrative report
summarizing the City’s recent progress towards goals and work programs adopted as part of
its business plan for 2018 and beyond. Items noted were:
Beginning April 1, 2018, Medicare will start a year‐long project to replace all current
Medicare cards for beneficiaries to convert from using social security numbers to
using alphanumeric ID numbers. All new Medicare cards will come in the mail.
Nothing needs to be requested. There is a current scam whereby someone claiming
to be from Medicare will call to say a card is on the way but that a temporary card is
needed and a fee is required for the temporary card. They will ask for personal
information so they can process the temporary card. Remember: Medicare handles
all communications by mail unless you call them.
Preventative street maintenance will continue to impact traffic and result in
occasional street closures.
AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Kara Durbin, Bellevue, Senior Local Government Affairs Representative for Puget
Sound Energy (PSE), thanked Council for their ongoing attention to PSE's Energize
Eastside project. She noted that PSE values Council's feedback, and she looks forward
to accomplishing this project.
