Normandy Park City Manager’s Report for week ending April 11, 2025

City Council Meeting Roundup

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.
  • Contract for resurfacing the surfaces at City Hall and Marvista Park – Surfaces at both parks have exceeded their expected lifecycles and are ready to be replaced. The City Council approved moving forward with the replacement of the surface materials. The City Hall Park project costs $117,038.02, and the Marvista Park project costs $124,603.43. Both projects have been budgeted and will be funded through the City’s Park District.
  • Approval of a Local Road Safety Plan – One of the City Council’s recently approved goals are to complete a Local Roads Safety Plan (LRSP). This plan will evaluate all federally classified roads within the City. This program will assess multiple factors, including collection of crash data, GIS mapping of the road networks, including Sidewalks and Crosswalks, and Streetlight inventory. The final report will include proposed safety improvements prioritized by risk factors. Project costs will not exceed $16,886 and will be funded through the Street Fund.
  • Proclamation Approval – The City Council approved three proclamations: declaring April 2nd as Education and Sharing Day, April 26th as Arbor Day, and April as Autism Awareness Month.

Unfortunately, we had some technical difficulties last night, so there is no meeting video. If you want to learn more about these topics, I encourage you to read the agenda packet.
