City Council Meeting Roundup
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.
- Contract for resurfacing the surfaces at City Hall and Marvista Park – Surfaces at both parks have exceeded their expected lifecycles and are ready to be replaced. The City Council approved moving forward with the replacement of the surface materials. The City Hall Park project costs $117,038.02, and the Marvista Park project costs $124,603.43. Both projects have been budgeted and will be funded through the City’s Park District.
- Approval of a Local Road Safety Plan – One of the City Council’s recently approved goals is to complete a Local Roads Safety Plan (LRSP). This plan will evaluate all federally classified roads within the City. This program will assess multiple factors, including: collection of crash data, GIS mapping of the road networks, including Sidewalks and Crosswalks, and Streetlight inventory. The final report will include proposed safety improvements prioritized by risk factors. Project costs will not exceed $16,886 and will be funded through the Street Fund.
- Proclamation Approval – The City Council approved three proclamations: declaring April 2nd as Education and Sharing Day, April 26th as Arbor Day, and April as Autism Awareness Month.
Unfortunately, we had some technical difficulties Tuesday night, so there is no meeting video. If you want to learn more about these topics, I encourage you to read the agenda packet.
If you have any questions about the information above or any other City topic, please get in touch with me at aarrington@normandyparkwa.gov. Have a great week!

City Manager Report – April 18, 2025
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.
City Manager Report – March 28, 2025
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.
