STEP Housing Advisory Committee charter was scheduled for council discussion Feb. 24

What the records say

The February 24, 2025 City Council agenda listed a STEP Housing Advisory Committee Charter as the first business-agenda item, presented by Assistant City Manager and Community Development Director Debbie Bent for discussion and direction, with an agenda bill and a draft charter attached ¹. Context from the Council's February 10 meeting records shows a special advisory committee already working on updating Kenmore's zoning rules to match state STEP housing requirements, including where shelters, emergency housing, transitional housing, and permanent supportive housing must be allowed ¹.

• The Feb. 24, 2025 City Council agenda scheduled the STEP Housing Advisory Committee Charter for discussion and direction ¹.
• The item was presented by Assistant City Manager/Community Development Director Debbie Bent ¹.
• Supporting materials listed in the packet included an agenda bill and a draft charter ¹.
• The available records do not establish the meeting's outcome ¹.

Why it matters

A charter would define how this advisory committee is organized and what it does, and the committee's work ties directly to how Kenmore updates zoning for shelters and supportive housing ¹. Because the agenda scheduled the item only for discussion and direction, these records document no final decision on the charter's content.
