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 – November 14, 2025
City Council Meeting Roundup on Wednesday, November 12th, the Normandy Park City Council held its regular monthly meeting. Below is a summary of key actions and discussions. The City has accepted a Flood Control District Flood Reduction Grant – The City is receiving a $750,000 grant award that will be used towards the purchase of property to expand Marine View Park. The Interlocal Agreement with the South Correctional Entity (SCORE) Jail was updated – The City Council approved specific financial adjustments to help cover jail costs. Approving this amendment will enable the City of Normandy Park to continue uninterrupted jail services that work seamlessly with our Court and provide the most benefit to Normandy Park residents. Even with the approved increases, this agreement is still the most affordable option available to us for our short-term commitments.

What’s Next for City Hall? We often receive the question, “What’s going on with replacing City Hall?” I would like to take this opportunity to provide an update on the project’s status and outline the next steps. As many residents know, the future of Normandy Park City Hall has been a topic of discussion for several years. Our current building was originally constructed in the 1950s as an elementary school and later converted into City Hall in the late 1980s. While it has served the community well, it was never intended to function as a modern municipal facility. As a result, the City has been exploring options to ensure that we have a safe, efficient, and functional building that can continue to serve residents daily.
