City Council Meeting Roundup

On Tuesday, February 11th, the City Council held its regular monthly meeting. Here are the meeting highlights to help keep you informed.

  • A grant agreement for Nature Trails Park was approved – The City Council accepted a $45,450 grant for forestry work in Nature Trails Park. Since 2016, the City has been committed to urban forestry restoration activities. This grant will allow us to continue this work by hiring a professional restoration service to target noxious weed removal.
  • Resident Kolin Quick-Gunther was appointed to the Normandy Park Arts Commission – The Normandy Park Arts Commission consists of seven members appointed for 3-year terms. This Commission represents the City’s interest in art matters and serves as a spokesperson group for the City. The City Council appointed Kolin Quick-Gunther to Position #7.
  • A contract for evaluation of City Hall was approved – This contract is intended to help the Council determine the “life span” of City Hall. The city’s engineering consultant will begin an evaluation of City Hall’s exterior, interior, structural, and seismic conditions, as well as HVAC, plumbing, and electrical engineering. An energy audit will also be conducted as a prerequisite to future energy improvement grant applications. After completing and evaluating the report, the City Council will decide the next best steps for the City Hall Building.
  • A contract to kick off park improvements was approved – Approval of this contract is for the park improvements identified in the 2025 budget, specifically replacing the playground surface and drinking fountains at City Hall and Marvista Park. These improvements will be completed later this year.
  • The 2025 City Council Goals were approved – The City Council approved the following goals for the upcoming year:
  • Develop a plan for City Hall.
  • Work on safety improvements needed on 1st Avenue.
  • Focus on Community Engagement that will bring the community together.
  • Enhance Communications with the Public.
  • Update and emphasize the City’s Emergency Management Plan.
  • Increase the City’s efforts in Legislative Advocacy.
  • Improve the City’s Recreational Facilities.

These goals will help the City continue to progress positively.

  • A City Council Legislative Committee was established – The City Council wants to strengthen its advocacy work. So, a Legislative City Council Committee was formed to identify key issues and work with other elected officials to advocate for Normandy Park.

If you want to learn more about these topics, I encourage you to watch the meeting recording.

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.
