ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
City Clerk Jason Seth reviewed a written administrative report summarizing the City's recent
progress towards goals and work programs adopted as part of its business plan for 2024 and
beyond. Items noted were:
• Get Ready in Renton by enrolling in the fall Community Emergency Response Team
(CERT) classes offered by the city's Emergency Management Division. Registration is
now open until August 21, so seize the opportunity to prepare yourself to respond
effectively in a disaster.
The CERT program is designed to equip participants with essential skills to handle a
range of emergency scenarios, covering areas such as personal preparedness, first
aid, fire suppression, search and rescue, terrorism, and team organization. During this
insightful eight-week course, participants will experience a blend of classroom
learning and practical, hands-on training, culminating in the ability to serve as crucial
"first responders" within their neighborhoods during the critical aftermath of a
disaster.
The fall CERT classes begin on August 22, from 6 to 9 p.m.at the Renton Regional Fire
Authority Fire Station #14 and run for eight weeks. The course concludes with a final
drill on Saturday, October 5, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Visit rentonwa.gov/register and
search for ‘CERT.’
• Information about preventative street maintenance, traffic impact projects, and road
closures happening this week can be found at http://rentonwa.gov/traffic. All
projects are weather permitting and unless otherwise noted, streets will always
remain open.
