ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
CAO Ed VanValey reviewed a written administrative report summarizing the City’s recent
progress towards goals and work programs adopted as part of its business plan for 2021 and
beyond. Items noted were:
• 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.
• Preventative street maintenance will continue to impact traffic and result in
occasional street closures.
AUDIENCE COMMENTS
• Ian Taylor, Renton, speaking on behalf of Moms Demand Action for Guns Sense,
applauded the Mayor's effort to pause King County's implementation of the
Restorative Community Pathways program. However, he stated that he supports the
program and hopes that the Mayor, and other Mayors, will eventually support the
program that diverts first-time offenders from entering the prison system.
January 24, 2022 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
• Leo Flor, King County, speaking on behalf of the King County Department of
Community and Human Services, spoke in favor of Resolution 4461, which authorizes
a development agreement between Renton and King County for a permanent
supportive housing site located on Oakesdale Ave SW.
• Laura Meyer, Renton, speaking on behalf of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense,
asked that the Mayor take another look at King County's Restorative Community
Pathways program because it offers a more holistic approach to justice for juvenile
offenders.
• Andrew Lana, Renton, spoke enthusiastically about Hazen High School's robotics
program, noting that it teaches students career skills such as Computer-Aided
Drafting, metalworking, and computer programming. He also noted that the program
is mostly student led.
Mayor Pavone noted for the record that although the City supports the goals of the
Restorative Community Pathways program, King County needs to collaborate more
with local mayors and police chiefs in order for it to be successful.
