Port of Seattle Community Fund.  The Port of Seattle has expanded the community grant program for environmental/ecological improvement, known as the ACE program, to include Normandy Park, Federal Way, and Tukwila, in addition to Burien, Des Moines, and SeaTac.  Previously, only cities within the clear area (Safety Zone) outside of the Sea-Tac runways were eligible for this grant program. Only nonprofit and community group entities can conduct projects under this program, but such entities can partner and work on city-related projects/locations.  Funding for this program is limited to one project per year, per eligible group, and funding is dependent on three matching dollars for every grant dollar.  Matching dollars can be in-kind or volunteer labor contributions.  The Port of Seattle is anticipating that the matching requirement can be changed to two matching dollars to every one grant dollar during the next meeting of the Washington state Legislature. These small grants fund limited investment projects.

4th of July and the COVID-19 Emergency Declaration.  City of Normandy Park fireworks law will be in effect for the 4th of July; fireworks are only allowed on properties where the owner provides permission and only legally permissible fireworks are allowed. The city and all its residents, associations, organizations, and businesses must follow the Governor’s Emergency Declaration. No one should create a situation where more people congregate than the Governor’s Emergency Declaration allows. It is currently not possible to anticipate what size groups may be allowed by the 4th of July, but I think it somewhat likely that King County may be in Phase 2 by July 4th. If so, statutorily, this would allow gatherings of five (5) or fewer people, if no one in the gathering has met outside of the house with any one else all week.

City Manager Report – December 20, 2024

As the weather changes, we want to remind you to protect your house and yourself before cold weather hits. To help you prepare, here are some suggested informational tips:
Buy your snow shovel now.
Keep water and canned food on hand, just in case.
Clean your gutters and downspouts now.
Replace the filter in your furnace.
Have your chimneys and wood stoves cleaned.
Know the City’s snowplow route. If you click the link, you will see the City has divided the streets into three priority levels. Due to limited resources, in a heavy snow event, you can expect the First Priority Route to be maintained. The second Priority Route will be addressed as resources allow with priority over the third route. The third Priority Route will be managed as resources allow.
