Recreation Manager Erica Chua said the city received a $1,000 National Recreation and Park Association grant to start a Walk With Ease program targeting adults 50 and over; the grant will pay for training two instructors and start-up costs for programming at the New Redmond Senior and Community Center. Chua described the program as distinct from informal senior walking groups: “Friday is meant as a social…it’s more of one of our interest groups, whereas this is gonna be more of a formalized instructional program.”
Chua also presented a $229,500 King County Veterans, Seniors and Human Services Levy grant to fund congregate meal service for seniors 50+ at the Redmond Senior and Community Center, covering two of three weekly meals and serving roughly 70 seniors per meal.
Zac Coopner, Parks Deputy Director, presented a citywide mail-delivery contract award recommendation to Copiers Northwest for $175,288.75. The contract covers four weekly deliveries to 17 city facilities; staff said one bid was received and the pricing aligns with the existing contract.
Jenny Liebeck presented results of a consultant selection process and recommended Kim Lundgren Associates for a $140,000 contract to update Redmond’s 2020 Environmental Sustainability Action Plan (ESAP). Liebeck said the firm’s proposal prioritized public accessibility and catalyzing community action; staff said KLA will support technical analysis, engagement and plan development.
Staff also said the city received a $72,500 energy-audit grant from the Association of Washington Cities to perform a detailed energy audit of the public-safety building related to clean-building standard compliance. Councilmember Stewart noted the grant is funded by Climate Commitment Act dollars and requested that communications honor that funding attribution in materials where appropriate.
Council indicated no objections to placing these items on the March 4 consent agenda; no formal votes were recorded at the committee meeting.
