Maple Valley study session hears Economic Development Commission’s 2025 workplan
Summary
City staff and the Economic Development Commission presented the proposed 2025 Economic Development Commission workplan at a June 16, 2025 Maple Valley City Council study session; council approved the evening’s agenda but the minutes record no formal vote on the workplan.
The Maple Valley City Council convened a hybrid study session on June 16, 2025, where Economic & Community Development Director Doug McIntyre introduced the proposed 2025 Economic Development Commission workplan and Economic Development Commission Chair Rich Kaalaas discussed the plan in depth. Deputy Mayor Dana Parnello called the meeting to order at 6:30 p.m.
Why it matters: The Economic Development Commission’s annual workplan outlines the commission’s priorities and activities for the coming year; the plan was presented to council for review during the study session and the packet provided to council contains the plan’s details. The minutes do not record a formal council vote or adoption of the workplan during this meeting.
Councilmembers present included Didem Pierson, Les Burberry, Victoria Schroff, Syd Dawson and John Herbert. City staff in attendance included Parks & Recreation Director/Assistant City Manager Dave Johnson, Systems Administrator Michael Dunning, and City Clerk Andrew Dacuag. McIntyre introduced the workplan as presented in the meeting packet; Chair Rich Kaalaas then discussed it in depth on behalf of the Economic Development Commission.
Procedural action early in the evening established the meeting’s agenda: Councilmember Victoria Schroff moved to approve the agenda and Councilmember Didem Pierson seconded; the motion carried 6-0. The minutes record no further formal action on the workplan itself. The agenda also included standard items for board and commission reports, council comments and public comments.
The council set its next regular business meeting for June 23, 2025, at 6:30 p.m. at Lake Wilderness Lodge, 22500 SE 248th Street, with Zoom information to follow. The study session was adjourned at 7:58 p.m., and the minutes were signed by City Clerk Andrew Dacuag and later approved at the June 23 regular business meeting.
Votes at a glance: The only recorded vote in these minutes was the approval of the meeting agenda, which passed 6-0 on a motion by Councilmember Victoria Schroff, seconded by Councilmember Didem Pierson.
