The King County Council on May 13 voted unanimously to adopt several consent ordinances and hearing-examiner recommendations, including a surplus-property sale in North Bend and a lease amendment to support the King County Sheriff's Office.
Clerk read the items into the record before the council took the consent vote. Proposed Ordinance 2025-0075 relates to the sale of surplus property on Cedar Falls Road Southeast in North Bend (Council District 3). Proposed Ordinance 2025-0094 authorizes an amendment to an existing lease to support operations of the King County Sheriff's Office. Both measures were placed on the consent agenda and passed on a 9-0 roll call.
The council also approved a block of hearing-examiner consent ordinances (items 10 through 15) concurring with recommendations to grant Public Benefit Rating System (PBRS) assessed valuations for several properties across Mercer Island, Renton, Issaquah, Vashon and other locations; those substitute ordinances were adopted by unanimous vote after Council member Quinn moved the hearing-examiner consent agenda.
Motions related to council organization and a reappointment (motion 2025-0123 confirming the executive's reappointment of John Purvis) were likewise adopted by unanimous roll calls as part of the meeting's consent business. Council members did not request separate votes or debate on the consent items during the recorded proceedings.
The consent process allowed the council to bundle items for expedited consideration. Council rules and the published agenda list the ordinances and motions placed on the consent calendars; individual files and staff reports for each ordinance contain the full legal descriptions, sale terms, and lease details.
Council members recorded ayes as follows during the consent votes: Balducci, Barone, Dembowski, Dunn, Mosqueda, Perry, Quinn, Von Reichbauer and Chair Girmay Zahilay. The council acted on the listed items without further amendment at the May 13 meeting.
