Kenmore City Council on a unanimous voice vote authorized the city manager and the city attorney to pursue enforcement of a notice of violation for property located at 6229 Northeast 190th Street.

Council returned from a 45‑minute executive session on potential litigation and the mayor called for a motion to authorize enforcement action. After a motion and second, the council voted aloud; no members opposed and the motion was adopted unanimously.

The vote authorizes the city manager and city attorney’s office to “take all steps necessary to enforce the notice of violations issued against property located at 6229 Northeast 190 First Street, Kenmore, Washington, including but not limited to filing an action in superior court,” per the motion on the record.

The council did not provide additional details in the meeting about the underlying facts of the violation, the requested remedies, or timelines for court action. Because the matter was discussed in executive session under a statutory exemption for potential litigation, members did not discuss facts in open session beyond the authorizing motion.

The record shows the motion was seconded and then approved by unanimous voice vote; the clerk then called the roll as the council transitioned from the special meeting into the regular meeting.

City staff did not supply additional materials on the public agenda beyond the motion language. The city attorney or city manager would be the offices responsible for implementing the authorization and for providing any further public updates about enforcement steps or court filings.
