March 19, 2018 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington reviewed a written administrative report summarizing the City’s recent progress towards goals and work programs adopted as part of its business plan for 2018 and beyond. Items noted were:  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.  Tuesday, March 20th, 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. The City of Renton and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will host a public meeting to discuss updates to floodplain maps based on new data about flood hazards, what it means to own property in or near a floodplain, and the current appeal and comment period. The meeting will give residents an opportunity to learn more about both the current and the preliminary floodplain maps and to get questions about the process answered. The meeting will be held at the Renton Community Center Banquet Room, 1715 Maple Valley Highway, Renton.  Preventative street maintenance will continue to impact traffic and result in occasional street closures.
