Amendment to Interlocal Agreement with King County for Landmark Designation and Protection Services
AB 8381
In 2000, the City entered into an interlocal agreement with King County to provide Issaquah assistance with respect to historic preservation. The full agreement (Exhibit A) is attached to the agenda bill. On behalf of Issaquah, the King County Landmarks and Heritage Commission, which consists of nine members appointed by the County Executive, reviews landmark nominations and determines designation of landmarks. An Issaquah representative is present when nominations include properties located in Issaquah. Since establishing the agreement, approximately 7 buildings within Issaquah city limits have been designated landmarks.
At the Aug. 2, 2021 Council meeting the City Council approved a resolution establishing a new Travel and Meals Policy, Resolution No. 2021-14. This policy repealed the previous policy in the Issaquah Administrative Manual, but did not address an outdated policy in Chapter 2.76 the Issaquah Municipal Code. Proposal The Administration recommends adopting the proposed ordinance repealing Chapter 2.76, Travel Reimbursement, of the Issaquah Municipal Code (Exhibit A). This Chapter was originally adopted in 1980 and has been usurped by the recently approved Resolution No. 2021-14, which adopted a new Travel and Meals Policy. By repealing Chapter 2.76, the proposed ordinance will eliminate the inconsistency between the IMC and Resolution No. 2021-14.

2023-2028 Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program
AB 8331
Conduct Public Hearing
· 40 min
· packet pp.243–292
RCW 35.77.010 requires all cities to develop and adopt a six-year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) consistent with the comprehensive plan. State law requires the City review and update its TIP every year, following one or more public hearings. The deadline for adoption is July 1. Within 30 days of adoption, the TIP is required to be filed with the Washington State Secretary of Transportation. The TIP is a planning document that allows the State to identify the financial needs to support transportation within the state.
The City’s current solid waste collection contract was obtained through a very competitive process conducted in 2011. At that point in time, Cleanscapes (now Recology) was rapidly expanding and aggressively competing for contracts. In that environment, new contracts were often at lower rates than the previous contract and/or incorporated very significant enhancements such as Recology’s store, expanded residential recycling opportunities, commercial recycling, and embedded compostables collection at no additional ratepayer cost.
Minutes for this meeting haven't been published yet. Council and committee minutes are approved at the next meeting and embedded as a consent-calendar attachment in that meeting's agenda packet — they will appear here once that next packet is processed.
