Chris Stenger, Deputy Director of Utilities in Public Works, said staff and the purchasing division advertised seven requests for qualifications (RFQs) in the fall, evaluated submissions, and selected the most qualified firms for on-call services. He explained that on-call agreements do not encumber budgets but allow project managers to issue task orders against approved budgets as needed. \"On call agreements do not encumber budgets but are available for project managers to use with approved budget numbers on task order basis,\" Stenger said.

At the start of the meeting a motion to amend the committee's agenda to add Public Works' on-call agreements was made, seconded and approved by voice vote to allow the presentation.

Stenger requested that the item be considered for the Feb. 4, 2025 business meeting consent agenda. Several councilmembers said they had not had access to the materials referenced in an email link and asked that the materials be included in the regular packet. Council President Kritzer said she preferred the item be placed on new business rather than consent so members would have time to review and ask questions; the committee agreed and staff acknowledged they would include the materials in the next meeting packet.

Councilmember question clarified contract lengths: attachments indicate most agreements are two-year base terms with two one-year extension options. Stenger confirmed that interpretation. The committee did not vote on the contracts themselves; staff will return with the agreements at the next council meeting as new business for formal consideration.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Redmond City Council, Committee of the Whole | January 28, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Public Works presented an overview of on-call agreements and procurement steps to the Parks and Environmental Sustainability Committee on Jan. 20 and asked that the committee add the contracts to a council agenda for approval.","taxTitle","Redmond, King County, Washington","taxId",2615,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6363019,"Redmond reports estimated 10,000 attendees at Redmond Lights 2024; organizers cite accessibility and environmental steps",603,742000,1345000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2166921-d58a2b0c7f1abae92feca8ed3b16a492&start=742&end=1345","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2166921-d58a2b0c7f1abae92feca8ed3b16a492/thumbnail_742000.jpg","/articles/6363019/Redmond/King-County/Washington/Redmond-reports-estimated-10000-attendees-at-Redmond-Lights-2024-organizers-cite-accessibility-and-environmental-steps","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6363019-5e952400a89d1e93b0e1a23c79100176/orig.mp4?Expires=1774939149&Signature=Flq749-XSl2Nm6s0LAQH-xLPYUnauk93Mp2rKCdvv9j0pNUSTfOUNixMLQFZpDMp5GR9URWor4yeoYegraqPUah8740egimqwmdFz-y5LFfYds4J2YWTQN70WbvFXwocoqW9yguyY6AoV2P60-1fOCOhRe1~2a1HA~auecCuuSMZUzyBV~qdck3lpfIEXmxOmuGoScU8kBpkY7d1nf8Zmo7PlkSJBreLlk8J6Pq7tmSXInMKpG3GQc2jlKQdDbyHc-AV1WT-iHwh1oDgBmZoC7h5OovIHpLuRt-QuOANNvvCwu9ma8SAjxL~N6QzSlbGBZy-RDvE9B4qcQ3jBDhNxQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City event staff briefed the Parks and Environmental Sustainability Committee on Jan. 20 on Redmond Lights 2024, reporting an estimated 10,000 attendees, roughly 60 volunteers and more than 20,000 website visits tied to event outreach.

Recreation Business Manager Britney Pratt, Events and Marketing Supervisor Lindsay Tussing and Events Coordinator Laura Williams presented a recap of the multi-date program and said outreach began in September. \"We estimate 10,000 people were in attendance. We had 60 volunteers, businesses and community organizations, and then we also had over 20,000 visits to the website,\" Pratt said.

Organizers said most on-site activities were free to minimize cost barriers and that the event partnered with Redmond Town Center and the Redmond King County Library; sponsors included Microsoft, BMW and Puget Sound Energy. Staff also said they replaced single-use giveaways with reusable items such as shirts and beanies and worked with Public Works to use environmentally safe materials for artificial snow.

Survey results presented to the committee showed more than 92% of respondents said they were likely or very likely to attend again. Council President Kritzer and other members praised the event and suggested adjustments: Kritzer recommended previewing an \"electric-first\" approach at future events and suggested staging countdowns at additional times to catch larger crowds; another councilmember noted 23.8% of attendees traveled from outside Redmond ZIP codes, strengthening the event's potential economic impact on local businesses.

Council and staff discussed how the city's upcoming light-rail service could affect parking and attendance for future events and suggested exploring satellite neighborhoods and improved transit links to broaden access. Staff said they will consider lessons learned and adjustments for future editions.

No formal action was taken; the briefing was for committee information and feedback.","Event organizers told the committee Redmond Lights 2024 drew about 10,000 attendees, prioritized free programming and reusable giveaways, and recorded strong survey results and web traffic; councilmembers discussed leveraging light rail and parking for future events.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6363024,"Redmond committee schedules Feb. 11 study session on facilities decarbonization after condition assessment",430,90000,520000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2166921-d58a2b0c7f1abae92feca8ed3b16a492&start=90&end=520","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2166921-d58a2b0c7f1abae92feca8ed3b16a492/thumbnail_90000.jpg","/articles/6363024/Redmond/King-County/Washington/Redmond-committee-schedules-Feb-11-study-session-on-facilities-decarbonization-after-condition-assessment","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6363024-a2ed5b206f5e27a96c746b3be54b544a/orig.mp4?Expires=1774939149&Signature=JQj1V2xBmc52HKuDqXXMv2sXVnVDHW8Kze5UlFFi6yRGQLswC6b6v~yLQ-yV9jMzdd0lDJeZFQyUlK2-UL5JnnN8ca3SiITdSDwxW1C29l4VW1WkXer2wGegg0szqGOLNyTUfekBW4Mc7R3zawC23PJ9aMUvCkK1V1Fses8zetHMchTRAduPmHBbsGoMVOarMqApDWYtpBlliBDK8Ezg6JQIkQMTKZMxTVHjC4A5kul~8N~~lXrGhY5e9DDYTkz6RdPtbffrpJg0Z-ZS9bPUkt6lFr32cPUkHdPGtudmViYo8qOGNKvYWqPb5CbwjYzOnButZl1~BeZGcoofkOC~jA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City staff told the Parks and Environmental Sustainability Committee on Jan. 20 that the decarbonization and sustainability portion of the city's facilities condition assessment will be presented as a study session to the full council on Feb. 11.

The presentation, led by Environmental Sustainability Program Manager Jenny Liebeck with support from Facilities Manager Quinn Kuhnhausen and Public Works Director Hamilton, reviews how Redmond's facility portfolio performs on carbon emissions, energy use and physical condition and proposes next steps for decarbonization planning.

The report included a portfolio tool preview and identifies priority buildings for initial planning. Liebeck said the item is informational and staff are seeking council questions to shape the Feb. 11 study session. \"We will be proposing to bring this to council as a study session on Feb. 11,\" Liebeck said.

Councilmembers pressed staff for more detail on how the decarbonization recommendations will link to other facility planning. Councilmember Stewart said the assessment highlights differences across buildings and asked that staff bring analysis connecting building size and impact with long-term planning for projects such as MOC. \"How we're putting all these factors together to create a path forward or to identify the questions that are gonna lead to the path forward,\" Stewart said.

Council Vice President Forsyth asked staff to address the teen center specifically at the study session because that facility scored poorly on energy performance and hosts ongoing programs. Council President Kritzer asked for a preview of an \"electric-first\" policy referenced in the next steps and for estimates of how long it will take to develop a decarbonization plan for individual buildings.

Director Hamilton said staff will return with responses and noted a one-time allocation in the 2025-26 budget for continued facilities strategic planning, which will be used to align facility-maintenance decisions and decarbonization work. \"That 1 time funding'is a big part of that planning process,\" Hamilton said.

The committee flagged the need to address Redmond's obligations under clean building performance standards and to coordinate timing between condition-driven capital decisions (for example, potential fire station relocations) and energy-efficiency investments. Staff said some questions touch on ongoing facilities strategic planning and that the study session will clarify the timeline and funding questions.

The committee did not take formal action on the report; staff will present the item at the Feb. 11 study session for further discussion.","City staff presented the decarbonization portion of a facilities condition assessment and told the Parks and Environmental Sustainability Committee they will bring an informational study session to council on Feb. 11; councilmembers asked for follow-up on funding, prioritization and specific facilities such as City Hall and the teen center.","actionData","errors"]
