We resolved several important issues last night. We successfully chartered the Highland Citizen Advisory committee with a good cross-section of representatives, which seemed to meet with satisfaction from most parties. In addition, we passed a motion requesting the Administration to confirm that HCA now meets the criteria to enter back into the city’s neighborhood program. Considering HCA is one of Renton’s oldest, largest, and most active community associations, I believe this renewed formal relationship will be a relief for citizens and city employees alike.
The Highland Citizen Advisory Committee had their first meeting this morning, so they are now off and running! I wish them all the best as they work toward developing the plan for rejuvenated Renton Highlands.
The best part is, the council took all of the above actions unanimously, which left spirits high all around. Thanks council! What a great night.
