✓ Decided: Renton council sends camping ban Ordinance 6199 to committee of the whole
After a public hearing and about 30 audience comments, the council did not adopt Ordinance 6199, which would add a new chapter on public property use, camping and trespass. A motion to adopt it failed for lack of a second, and the council instead referred it to the Committee of the Whole for further review and amendments. The council also closed a public hearing on acquiring King County Parcel 3023059103 (Strada Da Valle) by eminent domain, with staff recommending an authorizing ordinance at the next meeting, and approved a consent agenda and several finance items.
- Referred Ordinance 6199 (camping/trespass rules) to the Committee of the Whole for further review and amendments
- Motion to adopt Ordinance 6199 as read failed for lack of a second
- Amendment to strike 'Community Services Committee' and insert 'Committee of the Whole' in the referral motion carried
- Closed public hearing on acquiring King County Parcel 3023059103 (Strada Da Valle) by eminent domain; no ordinance adopted
- Adopted consent agenda as presented, including FAA grants up to $1,235,000 for Taxiway A and air traffic control tower projects
- Adopted Resolution No. 4597 authorizing a Land and Water Conservation Fund grant application for Cleveland-Richardson Park
- Adopted Resolution No. 4598 adopting an updated Arts and Culture Master Plan
- Directed city administration to set up a homelessness taskforce with a majority of members with lived experience (4-2)
