2025 City Council Wrap-Up. The last City Council meeting of 2025 was held on Tuesday, December 9th. 2025 was a good year for the City, and I wanted to take this opportunity to highlight some of our successes that will benefit residents as we get ready to move into 2026.

City Council Meeting Roundup. On Tuesday, December 9th, the Normandy Park City Council held its regular monthly meeting. Below is a summary of key actions and discussions. Approval of the Miller and Walker Creeks Basin Stewardship 2026 Technical Services Agreement – Normandy Park continues to partner with Burien, SeaTac, King County, and the Port of Seattle to protect and improve Miller and Walker Creeks. This agreement hires technical experts to help manage environmental work, improve water quality, support fish and wildlife habitat, and meet the City’s stormwater permit requirements. Approving it allows this shared work to continue. Amendment to the Sunnyside City Jail Interlocal Agreement – The City contracts with the City of Sunnyside for jail services. This amendment changes the daily cost from $64 to $76.59 per person. Even with the increase, Sunnyside remains the most cost-effective option compared to other available jail contracts.
