HomeMy WebLinkAboutAdmin Report Y 0 + t EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT ¢ T 0 MEMORANDUM DATE: March 5, 2018 TO: Ed Prince, Council President Members of Renton City Council FROM: Denis Law, Mayor Jay Covington, Chief Administrative Officer SUBJECT: Administrative Report • Inclement Weather Response Reminder: 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. It is still winter and more snow could be in the forecast. Please remember that during snow and ice events, the department sanders and snow plows are dispatched to keep major arterials drivable. Visit our website at http://rentonwa.gov/living/default.aspx?id=21258 to view our snow route maps. 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 and impact response of emergency vehicles. • Beginning April 1, 2018, Medicare will start a year-long project to replace all current Medicare cards for beneficiaries to convert from using social security numbers to using alphanumeric ID numbers. All new Medicare cards will come in the mail. Nothing needs to be requested. There is a current scam whereby someone claiming to be from Medicare will call to say a card is on the way but that a temporary card is needed and a fee is required for the temporary card. They will ask for personal information so they can process the temporary card. Remember: Medicare handles all communications by mail unless you call them. • Information about preventative street maintenance, traffic impact projects, and road closures happening this week can be found at http://rentonwa.gov/trafficimpacts.
