Memorandum
DATE: January 24, 2022
TO: Ryan McIrvin, Council President
Members of Renton City Council
FROM: Armondo Pavone, Mayor
Ed VanValey, Chief Administrative Officer
SUBJECT: Administrative Report
• On January 5, 8, 14 and 15, the Solid Waste Utility division, working with Republic
Services, provided garbage drop-off events for customers who did not have solid
waste picked up due to the last week of December’s snowstorm and the Republic
Services strike on January 12 through 15. These drop-off events collected over 50
tons of garbage and served over 1,900 customers. The snowstorm and the drivers'
strike prevented regular solid waste collection by Republic Services, but those
collections were recovered by Friday, January 21. For any customer whose
collections have been missed and have not yet been collected by Republic Services,
please contact Republic Services at 206-777-6440.
• Renton History Museum has received a grant of $13,000 from the Eda and Teresa
Pozzobon Fund (Renton Regional Community Foundation), which supports
immigrant women and children in the Greater Renton area. The Pozzobons were
twin sisters of Italian descent and lifetime Renton residents whose parents were
both Italian immigrants. This grant supports Renton History Museum’s research and
programming around the rich history of immigration and refugees in Renton history.
This includes a recent exhibit of refugee portraits, When You Can’t Go Home, and
research into American-born women expatriated in the 1920s through the 1940s
after marrying immigrant men. The museum is a joint project of the Renton
Historical Society, an educational 501(c)3, and the City of Renton.
