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 2017 and beyond. Items noted were:
• 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.

residential customers. Each household may schedule one collection to take place on
its regular garbage day through Friday, December 29th at no additional charge. For
questions or to schedule your Clean Sweep collection, contact Republic Services at
206-777-6440.
• Preventative street maintenance will continue to impact traffic and result in
occasional street closures.
AUDIENCE COMMENTS
• Adria Krail, Renton, expressed concern about the availability of City facilities to
members of the community.She explained that she had attempted to rent the
Community Center for a three-day period in October of 2018, but was told she could
not book it that far in advance.She asked Council to look into the matter. Mayor Pro
Tem Pavone asked the Administration to review its event and facility booking policy
and provide a response to Ms. Krail at a later date.
