Come to Wednesday’s Town Hall meeting to see a demonstration of the City’s Anti-Pursuit Equipment. On Wednesday, April 23rd, from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm, at City Hall, the City Council will host its quarterly Town Hall meeting. The Normandy Park Police Department will start this meeting by demonstrating our anti-pursuit equipment. Some residents might ask, “What is anti-pursuit equipment?” In short, it’s a vehicle-mounted GPS Launcher that deploys a GPS tracking tag onto a suspect’s vehicle. Once the GPS tag sticks to the vehicle, it tracks it so that our Police Department can plan and coordinate an informed response while maintaining community and officer safety. We are excited to show off this equipment, which was funded 100% by a grant.

On Tuesday, April 8th, the City Council held its regular monthly meeting. Here are the meeting highlights to help keep you informed.
•Waste Management Annual Report Presentation – The City Council received the annual update from Waste Management. We heard more about Waste Management’s operations and Normandy Park’s waste stream.
•Parks Commission Annual Presentation – The Parks Commission, working with City staff, has had a productive year. This presentation highlighted the projects and programs that occurred over the past year.
•Approval of the Trails Connectivity Program – The City’s Long-Term Property Acquisition Ad Hoc Committee has completed its recommendation to promote trail connectivity in Normandy Park. The recommendation was approved, and staff will start researching ownership and property details of the proposed trail connections. Owners will be contacted shortly and invited to communicate with staff to discuss and hopefully negotiate easements and required improvements to enable trail connections.

The City of Normandy Park is proud to announce that we have been awarded a $45,450 grant to restore a 2-acre portion of Nature Trails Park. Since 2016, the City has been managing its urban forest restoration activities. While much has been accomplished, considerable work remains, and this grant will help with this effort.
