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.

Grant Opportunity for our Local Businesses Economic development is vital to our City, so we are always on the lookout for opportunities to support our local businesses. Because of this, I want to share some information about a grant that could help a Normandy Park business flourish. Comcast RISE is supporting the growth of small businesses and entrepreneurs committed to uplifting their local communities. The program is built to help businesses and their communities thrive with a focus on economic growth. To date, Comcast RISE has awarded 14,000 small businesses with over $140 million in monetary, marketing, and technology grants, and Comcast RISE is back in 2025.
