DATE: February 6, 2017
TO: Armondo Pavone, Council President
Members of the Renton City Council
FROM: Denis Law, Mayor
Jay Covington, Chief Administrative Officer
SUBJECT: Administrative Report
Inclement Weather Response Reminder: Help 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. Please
remember 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. Please do
not park or abandon your vehicle within any portion of the traffic lanes. Abandoned
vehicles impair snow and ice removal and impact response of emergency vehicles.
