Council approves sewer assessment reimbursement area and parks grant application
Summary
The council approved Resolution 1872 to establish a sewer assessment reimbursement area tied to the Roosevelt Avenue roundabout (recapturing roughly $88,000) and Resolution 1874 to authorize a $400,000 RCO grant application for athletic field lighting; both passed by voice vote.
ENUMCLAW — At its April 27 meeting the City Council approved two formal resolutions by voice vote.
Resolution 1872: sewer assessment reimbursement area — City staff explained the resolution would establish an assessment reimbursement area for sewer installed as part of the Roosevelt Avenue roundabout project and allow the city to recapture slightly under $88,000 from four affected parcels. The council moved, seconded and approved the resolution by voice vote.
Resolution 1874: RCO youth athletic facilities grant — Parks Director Aliyah Hibbs described a Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office grant application requesting $400,000 to relamp existing fluorescent lighting and add lighting for two currently unlit fields. The project would leverage $202,000 in impact fees and budget an additional $198,000 in the 2027 budget for a total planned project cost of approximately $800,000 (including a 15% contingency). Council moved, seconded and approved the resolution to authorize the mayor to execute the grant application.
Votes and tallies: both resolutions were approved by voice vote; the meeting transcript records the motions, seconds and the chair's voice calls for "aye" but does not provide a roll‑call tally with member names in the transcript.
