Committee previews April 14 Snoqualmie council agenda; utility-rate ordinance set for second reading
Summary
A Snoqualmie agenda-review committee approved routine minutes and a claims report, scheduled a 6 p.m. roundtable on a petition to vacate a right-of-way, and flagged multiple items for the April 14 City Council meeting, including a second-reading vote on utility rates for 2025–2030 and a first reading on downtown retail-use rules.
The Snoqualmie committee reviewing the April 14 City Council agenda approved the minutes from the March 18 meeting and a claims report dated April 14, set a 6:00 p.m. roundtable for a petition to vacate a right of way, and identified several ordinance and contract items for the council meeting starting at 7:00 p.m.
The agenda includes a second reading of an ordinance on utility rates covering 2025 through 2030 (Agenda Bill 25-0003) and a first reading of an ordinance described as SMC Title 17 O2, covering retail-use requirements in the Downtown Missouri District overlay zone. The committee also listed several committee items for further discussion at committee or council: a proposed Hailstones Trust property acquisition in the development committee, proposed regulation of water-distribution system improvements in Parks and Public Works, an on-call water and sewer design services contract (Agenda Bill 25-049), and an amendment for phase 3 construction services at the Water Reclamation Facility (Agenda Bill 25-050).
Committee participants noted procedural details for the petition hearing: a roundtable beginning at 6:00 p.m. will provide time for petitioners to present their case before the regular council session starts at 7:00 p.m.; the committee agreed the mayor or presiding officer would use a scripted announcement at the time of the hearing rather than including those details on the published agenda. The committee moved proclamations (including a State of the City presentation, Volunteer Appreciation Week, and Arbor Day) to occur before presentations in case representatives are present.
There were no members of the public in attendance at the agenda-review meeting and no online public comments. The committee noted routine reports would be included on the April 14 council agenda (F&A report, mayor's report, commission liaison reports, department reports for March, and any required police executive sessions).
