MEMORANDUM
DATE: October 23, 2017
TO: Armondo Pavone, 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. Also,
snow is not far away. 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.
• The city is in the process of updating its Bicycle and Trails Master Plan and is
interested in public input. Please join us for an open house on Thursday, November
28th from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the Renton Senior Center, 211 Burnett Avenue North.
Questions may be directed to Parks Planning/Natural Resources Director Leslie
Betlach at 425-430-6619 or Transportation Planning Manager Vicki Grover at 425-
430-7393.
• The Solid Waste Utility will host its third and final free Eco Film Series event by
exploring food waste at Carco Theatre, 1717 Maple Valley Highway on Thursday,
November 16th at 6:00 p.m. At 7:30 p.m., Chef Thierry Rautureau of Seattle's Loulay
and Luc restaurants will share his tips and tricks in reducing food waste. Questions
may be directed to Solid Waste Program Specialist Jina Kim at 425-430-7391, or for
