In 2003, Issaquah’s City Council adopted the “Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program” with the intention to address both real and perceived traffic issues in residential areas. Though the program has served the City well over the last 21 years, the ways in which Traffic Calming Programs are administered has changed a fair amount in the intervening years and it is time for the City to update accordingly.

The property located at 179 1st Ave SE was purchased in 1989 to provide a permanent home for Issaquah Valley Community Services (ICVS), predecessor to the current Issaquah Food and Clothing Bank (IFCB), to provide food and clothing bank services to the community (AB 2711). The property was purchased for $110,000 funded from King County Housing and Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) C88144/C89072 ($80,373.51) and City general services mitigation funds ($30,000). One CDBG grant was awarded to the City, and the other to ICVS. ICVS contributed their CDBG grant to the City’s effort to purchase the property. There are no remaining obligations related to the grants — the longest term of commitment that King County CDBG program put on a project was 25 years. After the purchase, the City made building improvements estimated between $66,000 and $77,000 in value.
The Administration recommends the City Council adopt the proposed budget at the Dec. 9, 2024 Special City Council meeting, or as soon as Dec. 2 if desired.
The City's authority to impose a property tax is derived from the Washington State Constitution and described in the Revised Code of Washing (RCW) Chapters 84.52 and 84.55. The revenues from property tax are considered general government revenues, meaning that this money is placed in the General Fund and can be used for any basic governmental service or goods such as public safety, planning, parks, or administration.
The legislative agenda is a tool that communicates priorities and policy positions externally to the State Legislature and the Governor, as well as internally to the Administration and City lobbyists. This document is also shared with several partner agencies, e.g. SCA, AWC, MRSC, chamber, school district and neighboring jurisdictions.
The 2024 Park System Plan Update establishes a vision for Issaquah's Parks and Open Space system that is built upon the 2018 Parks Strategic Plan. It assesses the current state and challenges of the system, incorporates new core values shaped by community input to inform future goals and strategies, and provides recommendations along with an implementation roadmap to guide the City's efforts over the next 20 years. Upon adoption, the 2024 Plan will supersede the 2018 Parks Strategic Plan (Resolution No. 2018-12).
