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!

Working Together for Safer Streets: Normandy Park’s Local Road Safety Plan
The City of Normandy Park is taking an important step toward making our roads safer for everyone. As part of the City Council’s 2025 Goals, we’re developing a Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) to improve safety along our major, federally classified roadways. I want to share what this plan is all about—and how it will benefit our community. What Is a Local Road Safety Plan? A Local Road Safety Plan, or LRSP, is a strategic roadmap that cities use to identify safety issues and take action to reduce serious crashes and save lives. Each LRSP is unique, designed specifically for the community it serves, using local data and best practices in traffic safety. The plan examines where accidents occur or are likely to happen, and what we can do to prevent them. It helps us move away from one-size-fits-all solutions and instead focuses on what will truly make a difference for Normandy Park.

Honoring our Heroes: Normandy Park’s Blue Star Memorial By-Way. As we prepare to observe Memorial Day this weekend, I’d like to highlight a meaningful tribute in our community: the Blue Star Memorial By-Way in Normandy Park. The Blue Star Program pays tribute to all men and women who serve in the United States Armed Forces. We are proud to be home to one of these memorials in Normandy Park.
