2025 City Goals are being developed
On Saturday, January 25th, the City Council held its Annual Retreat to establish the 2025 City Goals. This meeting allows the City Council and staff to come together to determine what the City should focus on in the coming year. Are you interested in what the City Council is discussing? Here is a summary of the 2025 goals that are being developed.
- Evaluate City Hall and create a long-term plan for the building.
- Identify safety improvements needed on 1st Avenue and work to find funding for these projects.
- Focus on Community Engagement that will bring the community together.
- Improve Communications with the Public.
- Update the City’s Emergency Management Plan and provide educational opportunities for the public to learn more about emergency planning.
- Increase the City’s efforts in Legislative Advocacy.
- Work on improving and building the City’s Recreational Facilities.
These goals will be discussed and finalized in February. Stay tuned for more details about the work plan and timeline for accomplishing these goals.
EV Stations installed at City Hall Park
The City now has two EV (electric vehicle) Chargers operational at City Hall. These chargers, funded through a grant from PSE, are open to the public and are ready for use. There is a charge for using, so you will need the EV Connect App before you connect. Instructions on how to download the app and how to use it can be found at the charging stations. You can find the chargers in the parking area next to City Hall.
If you have any questions about this or other City topics, please email me at aarrington@normandyparkwa.gov. Have a great week!

City Manager Report – April 18, 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.

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.
