Enumclaw council approves sewer reimbursement area and authorizes grant application for athletic field lighting
Summary
The council unanimously approved Resolution 18‑72 establishing a sewer assessment reimbursement area for the Roosevelt Avenue roundabout and approved Resolution 18‑74 authorizing submission of an RCO youth athletic facilities grant (a $400,000 request with a 50% match).
The Enumclaw City Council on April 27 approved two resolutions.
Resolution 18‑72: staff described a sewer assessment reimbursement area tied to sewer installed for the Roosevelt Avenue roundabout. Chris Searcy explained the city fronted costs related to gravity sewer at the roundabout and that the reimbursement agreement would be recorded against four parcels to recapture about $88,000 in project costs. The council moved, seconded and voted to approve the resolution.
Resolution 18‑74: Parks Director Aliyah Hibbs presented a Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) youth athletic facilities grant application to relamp and add lighting for athletic fields (a $400,000 grant request). Hibbs said the required 50% match would be met by $202,000 in existing impact fees and that staff would budget the remaining $198,000 as part of the 2027 budget process, including a 15% contingency. Council moved, seconded and approved authorization for the mayor to execute the grant application.
The meeting record shows the council called the motions, asked for discussion, and the mayor called the votes; both resolutions passed at the April 27 meeting. The transcript does not include a roll‑call vote count by name; the clerk read each resolution by title and staff provided the related project and fiscal details during the public staff reports.
