City Council Meeting Roundup
On Tuesday, January 14th, the City Council held its regular monthly meeting. Here are the meeting highlights to help keep you informed.
- The City Council heard from King County Metro on Phase 2 of its South Link Connections Mobility Project. As light rail extends south, King County Metro’s South Link Connections mobility project is working to improve public transportation. The City Council learned more about the project and the proposed changes, including new, altered, and removed routes. In addition to talking with the City Council, King County Metro also wants resident feedback. I encourage you to visit the South Links Connections web page to learn more and take the survey to make your voice heard.
- Approval of an Ad Hoc Committee for long-term property acquisition of trails and beach access – The City Council officially established a committee to develop a program related to trail connectivity and low-bank beach access. This Committee will vet potential properties, recommend appropriate easement expenditures, and outline the outreach process (including adjacent property owners). The committee consists of three Councilmembers and two Park Commissioners. It should be noted that any acquisition will be voluntary.
- Resident Lisa Alexander 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 Lisa Alexander to Position #3.
- 2025 Fee Schedule Resolution No. 1014 – The City reviews all fees yearly to ensure all user charges are appropriate and reflect the full cost of providing the related service. The approved changes included amending specific permitting fees, a 4% increase to the preschool rates for the 2025-2026 school year, and a slight change in pet permitting.
If you want to learn more about these topics, I encourage you to watch the meeting recording.

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.

Come to Wednesday’s Town Hall meeting to see a demonstration of the City’s Anti-Pursuit Equipment. On Wednesday, April 23rd, from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm, at City Hall, the City Council will host its quarterly Town Hall meeting. The Normandy Park Police Department will start this meeting by demonstrating our anti-pursuit equipment. Some residents might ask, “What is anti-pursuit equipment?” In short, it’s a vehicle-mounted GPS Launcher that deploys a GPS tracking tag onto a suspect’s vehicle. Once the GPS tag sticks to the vehicle, it tracks it so that our Police Department can plan and coordinate an informed response while maintaining community and officer safety. We are excited to show off this equipment, which was funded 100% by a grant.
