and remain valid through December 7, 2020 are proposed to be extended to coincide

as well as parklets without structural components are within the scope of Economic
Recovery Revocable Right‐of‐Way permits;
Required Temporary Use Permits for businesses wishing to temporarily expand into
an adjacent tenant space are proposed to be waived;
A limited number of short‐term parking stalls are proposed to be established for

approach to furthering economic recovery;

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.
Cold weather is on the way. The Public Works Department will be applying deicer to
major arterials as needed. Snow is not far away. During snow events, 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, impact response of
emergency vehicles, and may be towed. Please remember that during snow and ice
events the department sanders and snowplows are dispatched to keep major arterials

December 7, 2020 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
Council discussion ensued regarding the compassion Council, the Administration, and the
community feels towards those suffering from homelessness, the necessity of changing dates
in the ordinance when they may need to be changed again in the future, clarification on
whether the motion to amend the main motion refers the issue to the Administration or
whether the intent was to modify the ordinance on the floor, Renton residents’ taxing
themselves in order to provide additional affordable housing options for the community, the
ordinance being a starting point with more permanent legislation being drafted in the future,
the desire of some Councilmembers to have a shelter located in Renton, concerns about
safety issues at the Red Lion Inn, the need to begin sub‐regional homelessness planning, and
clarifying that there that individuals housed at the Red Lion Inn will not have to leave
immediately if the ordinance is adopted because the ordinance provides ample time for the
County to re‐house the individuals elsewhere.
