Summary
The council approved the consent agenda, referred dispensary TPM drafting to the Planning Commission, adopted two‑year council goals, approved $19M GMP amendment for the airport terminal expansion and appointed a budget committee member.
At the Redmond City Council meeting on Feb. 11, 2025, councilors took the following formal actions during the open session. Where the meeting record recorded voice votes without roll call, the transcript does not record individual member tallies.
• Consent agenda: Council approved the consent agenda, including minutes of Jan. 6, Jan. 7 and Jan. 9. The motion passed on a voice vote; the transcript records an affirmative voice vote.
• Marijuana dispensary TPM referral: Council voted to send a memorandum to the Redmond Planning Commission requesting the commission draft time, place and manner regulations for marijuana dispensaries consistent with council discussion (buffers from schools/parks/day‑care/transit/treatment centers, exclusion from residential zoning, 1,000‑foot mutual buffer between dispensaries). Motion moved by Councilor Kat and seconded; passed on a voice vote. Staff will return proposed TPMs and related development‑code and business‑license changes for council readings following Planning Commission work.
• Council goals: The council adopted two‑year city council goals for 2025–2027 (housing and homelessness, public safety, growth management, airport, downtown/midtown, governance/fiscal responsibility and related subinitiatives). Motion to adopt passed on a voice vote.
• Airport terminal GMP amendment #2: Council approved a guaranteed maximum price amendment number 2 for the terminal building expansion, not to exceed $19,000,000, enabling utility and pre‑construction work. The motion passed on a voice vote; the airport director indicated a larger GMP 3 for main construction will return to council in May.
• Budget committee appointment: Tobias Colvin was appointed to the city budget committee with a term expiring Dec. 31, 2027; motion passed on a voice vote.
Notes: Several items described during the meeting—most notably the photo enforcement presentation—received substantive council questions and public comment but did not produce an ordinance vote at this meeting. Staff will bring procurement documents, draft ordinances or Planning Commission recommendations back to council for formal readings and recorded votes.
