DATE: October 21, 2019
TO: Don Persson, Council President
Members of Renton City Council
FROM: Denis Law, Mayor
Robert Harrison, Chief Administrative Officer
SUBJECT: Administrative Report
The Forestry Division in Parks Planning & Natural Resources has finalized a tree
planting contract to replace trees in the downtown core. A number of trees did not
do well in grated planting locations due to drought, disease, soil volume, and species
selection. 34 trees have been removed and these will be replaced with six different
varieties of trees over the next couple of months. Disruption to traffic and
businesses should be minimal and courtesy notices have been sent out.
Fall rainy season is here! Street sweepers are dispatched daily to clean up debris
along major arterials, but the Public Works Department would like to remind
residents to help us prevent local residential street flooding. Be sure to monitor
catch basins near your home and keep them clear of leaves and other debris. If you
notice excessive water collecting in areas where catch basins may be clogged, please
call 425‐430‐7400.
