Council approved finance-committee recommendations including accounts payable and payroll vouchers, a $175,543.94 holiday lighting contract, a $3.4 million reallocation to Rainier Avenue Phase 4, authorization to bind 2026 liability insurance (estimated $1.2M), and a $479,000 King County flood-control grant for Hardy Avenue storm improvements.
The Renton City Council on Dec. 8 concurred with a series of finance-committee recommendations presented by the committee chair. The items approved included:
- Accounts payable payments totaling $6,518,941.97 and payroll for the November pay period totaling $2,170,520.93 (including direct deposits and checks). - A contract authorization with Renova LLC d/b/a Holiday Spirit Lighting in the amount of $175,543.94 for holiday light installation and removal at multiple city locations. - A reallocation of $3,400,000 in project revenue within Fund 317 to cover a 2025 funding shortfall on the Rainier Avenue South Corridor Improvements Phase 4 project. - Authorization for the mayor and city clerk to sign 2026 liability insurance implementing documents through broker Alliant; the 2026 premium was estimated at approximately $1,200,000 and the binder will be transmitted prior to Jan. 1, 2026. - Authorization for the mayor and city clerk to execute Grant Agreement GRA 25036 with the King County Flood Control District for $479,000 to support engineering services for the Hardy Avenue SW storm system improvement project.
Each recommendation was moved and seconded in council and carried on voice vote or roll call where required. The finance committee also presented the Axon amendment; that contract amendment is addressed in a separate council action.
