By voice vote the council approved Resolution 18-72 establishing a sewer assessment reimbursement area related to the Roosevelt Avenue roundabout and approved Resolution 18-74 to apply for an RCO youth athletic facilities grant; the consent agenda and minutes were also approved.
The Enumclaw City Council approved several routine and action items during its April 27 meeting.
Minutes and consent agenda: Council moved and approved the minutes from the April 13 meeting and passed the consent agenda by voice vote with no members recorded as opposed.
Resolution 18-72 — Sewer assessment reimbursement area: Staff reported that sewer installed as part of the Roosevelt Avenue roundabout project requires establishment of an assessment reimbursement area affecting four parcels. Chris Searcy told council the original estimated recoverable cost had been approximately $60,000 but soil and administrative issues increased the amount; staff now estimates just under $88,000 would be recaptured through the reimbursement agreement. Council moved, seconded and passed Resolution 18-72 by voice vote.
Resolution 18-74 — RCO grant application for sports field lighting: Parks Director Aliyah Hibbs requested authorization to apply for an RCO youth athletic facilities grant asking for $400,000 toward a lighting project. Hibbs said the overall project is expected to total about $800,000 (a 50% match is required); staff said $202,000 in impact fees are available now and the council would budget the remaining approximately $198,000 in 2027. Council moved, seconded and approved submission of the grant application (Resolution 18-74).
Adjournment: Following new business and direction to staff on annexations, council moved and adjourned the meeting at 7:58 p.m.
Vote details: Votes were taken by voice; no roll-call tallies were provided in the transcript. The meeting record shows the council adopted both resolutions and the consent agenda during the session.
