Kenmore City Council was scheduled to weigh 2025-2030 capital improvement plan
The Kenmore City Council was scheduled to consider adopting a 2025-2030 capital improvement program covering parks, transportation, surface water, and city facilities 1.
What the records say
In materials for the Oct. 14, 2024, City Council meeting, the consent agenda included adoption of Proposed Ordinance No. 24-0614, a 2025-2030 Capital Improvement Program (CIP), added to the agenda on Oct. 9 1. A capital improvement program is a multi-year plan of major public projects and purchases, such as new or updated parks, road and sidewalk work, drainage fixes, and building improvements, together with the funding the city expects to use.
- In Oct. 14, 2024, pre-meeting materials, the City Council consent agenda included adopting the 2025-2030 Capital Improvement Program as Proposed Ordinance No. 24-0614; the item was added to the agenda on Oct. 9 1.
- The planned program was to cover four areas: Parks, Transportation, Surface Water Management, and City Facilities 1.
- The agenda packet listed fund projections for the REET fund, the Park Impact Fee Fund, the Transportation Impact Fee Fund, and the King County Trail and Park Levy 1.
Why it matters
The CIP is Kenmore's six-year blueprint for public infrastructure through 2030. It tells residents which park, road, stormwater, and city-facility projects the city plans to fund and how; the agenda packet lists fund projections for REET (a real estate excise tax), park and transportation impact fees, and the King County Trail and Park Levy 1.
What changed / what's next
- The proposed change was adoption of a new six-year capital improvement program covering 2025 through 2030 1.
- The available records do not establish the meeting's outcome; the supplied packet contains only the pre-meeting agenda, not a vote or adoption record.
- The detailed project lists, costs, and fund amounts were in attachments to the ordinance (Attachments 1-13) that are not included in the supplied records 1.
