DATE: March 19, 2018
TO: Ed Prince, Council President
Members of Renton City Council
FROM: Denis Law, Mayor
Jay Covington, Chief Administrative Officer
SUBJECT: Administrative Report
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.
