Council approves sewer assessment reimbursement area and authorizes RCO grant application for field lighting
Summary
On April 27 the Enumclaw City Council approved Resolution 1872 creating a sewer assessment reimbursement area for Roosevelt Avenue roundabout work (to recapture roughly $88,000) and approved Resolution 1874 authorizing staff to apply for a $400,000 RCO youth athletic facilities grant toward field lighting with a 50% match.
The Enumclaw City Council approved two resolutions by voice vote on April 27.
Resolution 1872: Sewer assessment reimbursement area — City staff described a plan to record a reimbursement agreement against four parcels benefiting from gravity sewer installed as part of the Roosevelt Avenue roundabout project. Chris Searcy, presenting the staff report, said the original estimate was about $60,000 but soil and administrative costs increased the amount "so they just slightly under $88,000 to be recaptured" through the agreement. Council moved and approved the resolution; the vote was taken by voice and no recorded roll-call tally was provided.
Resolution 1874: RCO grant application for lighting — Parks Director Aliyah Hibbs told council the city applied to the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office for a youth athletic facilities grant requesting $400,000. She said the city has $202,000 in impact fees to serve as a 50% match and would budget the remaining $198,000 in the 2027 process, bringing the total projected project estimate to $800,000 including a 15% contingency. Council moved and approved a resolution authorizing the mayor to execute the grant application.
Nut graf: Both items address infrastructure and capital improvements: the sewer reimbursement area recovers project costs from benefiting properties, and the RCO grant would fund lighting to expand youth athletic field availability; both measures passed without recorded individual votes.
Procedural note: Both measures were approved by voice vote; minutes and the official ordinance/recording will contain the formal documents for each resolution.
