June 9, 2026, Normandy Park City Council Regular Meeting

At the June 9, 2026, Normandy Park City Council regular meeting, the council approved a design contract with Gray & Osborne for first Avenue South pedestrian crossings and sidewalk improvements between 174th and 178th. The stated cost was approximately $162,000–$163,000. The design will support grant applications and includes two midblock crossings with pedestrian refuges, flashing beacons, and sidewalk connections. The council also adopted the 2027–2032 six-year Transportation Improvement Program, a grant-eligibility planning list of 12 projects rather than an adopted capital budget; staff noted that a separate construction contract for the 4th Avenue/Norby Road intersection was expected to come to council in July.

The council adopted SKIP’s 2027 work plan and $525,000 operating budget. The budget reduces professional-services spending by nearly 22% as SKIP builds internal capacity, maintains member contributions at 2026 levels, and sets aside reserves. A stormwater utility financial study presented a possible series of 5% annual rate increases beginning in 2027 and potential borrowing of $125,000 to help fund capital needs; no rate change was approved. The study described roughly $16 million in planned capital projects, with just over 70% expected to be grant-funded. The Port of Seattle presented the draft environmental impact statement for SEA Airport’s Sustainable Airport Master Plan, including about $40 million in proposed surface-transportation improvements, but the environmental review itself does not authorize projects. The council also approved ordinances concerning low-impact development, wireless-facility notification, and fireworks hours, and initiated targeted housing- and transportation-element amendments to the comprehensive plan.
