SUBJECT: Administrative Report
The City of Renton invites sidewalk chalk artists of all ages and abilities to take part
in the first “Chalk Your Walk” on May 4‐10. The city’s Recreation & Neighborhoods
division created the event to encourage neighborhoods to decorate their sidewalks,
driveways, etc. to entertain and bring joy. For inspiration, the city offers daily
themes, but creativity and individuality are encouraged. Daily themes and additional
details can be found at rentonwa.gov/chalkyourwalk. Artists are encouraged to
share their chalk artwork on social media using #LetsGoChalkRTN.
The City of Renton is estimated to receive approximately $3.141 million in a direct
distribution of the federal CARES Act dollars through the State of Washington for
COVID‐19 related expenses. The state essentially decided on $30 per person with a
minimum distribution of $25,000 per municipality.
Due to the extended Stay Home, Stay Healthy order, Henry Moses Aquatic Center
will not open this summer, and beaches will not have lifeguards on duty. There will
be signage and other measures to protect the public if large gatherings are allowed.
This was also part of the city’s budget savings recommendation.
You can find information on the city’s website and social media pages regarding the
city’s COVID‐19 response. Additionally, the Mayor’s newsletter is published three
times per week and has the most up‐to‐date information and access to state and
county resources. If you haven’t signed up for the Mayor’s newsletter, you can do
so at http://rentonwa.gov/mnl.
Information about preventative street maintenance, traffic impact projects, and
road closures happening this week can be found at http://rentonwa.gov/traffic. All
projects are weather permitting and unless otherwise noted, streets will always
remain open. Preventative street maintenance, traffic impact projects, and road
closures will be at the following locations:
