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 2016 and beyond. Items noted were: • 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. • Upland construction work of the Bird Island Shoreline Enhancement Project will start this week.Tasks include adding 200 feet of new boardwalk trail, planting new native trees,and adding 3 interpretive signs along the boardwalk.A section of the south parking lot at Coulon Park will be cordoned off for the contractor.The project will be complete by May 31st.This is Phase 1 of the overall project—in-water work or Phase 2 is scheduled for November and December of this year. • The record rainfall last month caused some landslides in the Kennydale area and in two places along SR-169.After the devastating Oso mudslide in Snohomish County, the City conducted a comprehensive LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging)analysis to identify potential future slide risks in Renton.Staff will present those findings, along with information from these latest slides, at the Council's Committee of the Whole meeting on April 17th. • As the 2017 Washington State Legislature continues its work in Olympia,we continue to monitor potential legislation that could impact Renton. Our lobbyist, Doug Levy, along with Preeti Shridhar,our Deputy Administrator for Public Affairs,will provide the Council with a mid-session update on March 13th. • Preventative street maintenance will continue to impact traffic and result in occasional street closures.
