ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
Deputy Public Affairs Administrator Preeti Shridhar 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:
April is Safe Digging Month! As issued via proclamation on February 6, 2018, by
Governor Jay Inslee, please adhere to Washington’s Dig Law by calling 8‐1‐1 for utility
locates before you dig. The call is free and notifies utility companies of an intent to
dig. The one‐call center dispatches professional locators to the requested digging site
to mark the approximate locations of underground lines, safely alerting the dig crew
of the danger below. All residents and professional excavators are required by law to
call 8‐1‐1 at least two business days before they dig.
The Solid Waste Utility is launching the “Bring Your Own Bag (BYOB)” campaign in
efforts to reduce plastic bag use and litter throughout the City. The public is
encouraged to bring reusable bags when shopping and complete an online survey
about plastic bag use. The survey is available at on our website through June 6, 2018.
Join Renton Police Officers at one of the Coffee with a Cop events. The mission of
Coffee with a Cop is to break down barriers between police officers and the citizens
they serve by removing agendas and allowing opportunities to ask questions, voice
concerns, and get to know the officers in your neighborhood. The next Coffee with a
Cop will take place on Wednesday, April 4th from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Starbucks,
68 Rainier Avenue South, Renton, WA 98057.
Preventative street maintenance will continue to impact traffic and result in
