At a glance: Council approves sewer reimbursement area and applies for youth athletic lighting grant

At its April 27 meeting the Enumclaw City Council approved two resolutions affecting sewer reimbursements and park lighting.

Resolution 1872: City clerk read a resolution establishing an assessment reimbursement area for sewer installed as part of the Roosevelt Avenue roundabout project. City staff said the city fronted construction and expects to recapture slightly under $88,000 from four affected parcels through the latecomers agreement. The council moved, seconded and approved the resolution by voice vote.

Resolution 1874: Parks Director Aliyah Hibbs presented a proposed application to the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office for a youth athletic facilities grant to support lighting at Boise Creek fields. "This grant application proposes an award of $400,000," Hibbs said. The project would use $202,000 in impact fees as the local match and budget the remaining match in 2027, producing a project budget of about $800,000 including a 15% contingency. Council approved the resolution authorizing the grant application by voice vote; the motion was recorded as made by Councilmember Krejzer and seconded by Councilmember Smith.

Both items passed by voice vote; staff will implement the next administrative steps for recording the sewer reimbursement document (Resolution 1872) and submitting the RCO grant application (Resolution 1874).
