Residents urge council to publish centralized report of regional board assignments
Summary
A resident requested a centralized city webpage listing each council member's regional assignments, meeting schedules, minutes and voting details so residents can track Renton's representation on regional boards.
Several residents urged the council to make clearer reports about the many regional boards and committees on which council members serve. Diane Dobson, a 12-year Renton resident, proposed a centralized location on the city's website listing each council member's regional assignments, meeting schedules, agendas, minutes and, where possible, voting records and brief summaries of action items.
Dobson said the intent was to improve transparency and public understanding of the city's participation in regional decisions that affect Renton. She suggested the council leadership ensure consistent reporting—either short verbal updates in council packets or written summaries linked from a centralized page—so residents need not search multiple agency sites to follow decisions that affect the city.
