Council approves sewer assessment reimbursement area and authorizes grant application for field lighting

The Enumclaw City Council approved two resolutions on April 27 by voice vote.

Resolution 1872: The city clerk read a resolution establishing an assessment reimbursement area for sewer installed as part of the Roosevelt Avenue roundabout project. Community Development staff explained the city fronted the sewer work and now proposes a late‑comers reimbursement recorded against four parcels to recapture construction costs. Staff said the original estimated cost at bidding was about $60,000 but additional soil and administrative costs raised the amount to just under $88,000 to be recaptured from those properties. The council moved, seconded and approved the resolution on a voice vote; no individual roll‑call votes were recorded in the transcript.

Resolution 1874: The council approved a resolution authorizing the mayor to submit a grant application to the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office for youth athletic field lighting. Parks Director Aliyah Hibbs described a $400,000 grant request; city impact fees and an anticipated 50% match would bring the total project budget to about $800,000 including a 15% contingency. Hibbs confirmed the city currently has $202,000 in impact fees and would budget the remaining match in 2027. The resolution passed on a voice vote; the transcript does not contain a roll‑call tally.

Both items were approved by motion and voice vote; the meeting record in the transcript does not include individual recorded votes.
