City Council Meeting Roundup
On Tuesday, August 13th, the City Council held its regular monthly meeting. Here are the meeting highlights to help keep you informed.
- The City Council authorized staff to continue working on a Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) Grant to improve Marvista Park. Staff has applied for a grant related to the Marvista Park playground area. It has a 50% match requirement, so if we succeed, we must allocate approximately $365,000 towards this project.
- An Automated License Plate Reader Grant Program was approved. The City Council approved a grant program encouraging larger commercial properties (10 tenants or more) to install FLOCK cameras. Grant awards can be up to $10,000 and are intended to fund cameras for the first year, with the property owner committing to at least one additional year.
- The Parks Commission was asked to review two specific park improvements/capital projects for future consideration. The City Council asked the Parks Commission to continue its work on the proposed Multi-Use Sports Court and to begin developing a plan for a City-owned parcel north of Marine View Park.
- The City Council approved a letter opposing the Kroger-Albertsons Merger. The Council is concerned about the impact this proposed merger would have on Normandy Park residents. Accordingly, the Council approved a letter that will be sent to the Attorney General opposing the merger.
- A professional service contract was approved for a pavement evaluation and rating study. The last pavement evaluation was completed in 2015, and it is time for an update. The total contract cost is $29,800, and it will be funded through the Streets Fund.
I encourage you to watch the meeting recording to learn more about these and other topics

City Manager Report – September 6th, 2024
The Puget Sound is vital to our community, and the City wants to encourage residents to celebrate and protect it!
Daily, pollutants from our neighborhoods flow through storm drains to nearby creeks, streams, and lakes, which flow into Puget Sound. We rely on clean water for our well-being, as do salmon, orcas, and other wildlife living in our shared habitat. What we do here has an impact on our local waterways and, eventually, on Puget Sound.
