TITLE:

Adoption of Ordinances to Formalize Updates to Redmond Municipal Code Titles 10, 12, 13, and 15
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
The Public Works Department embraces continued improvement to achieve organizational excellence. As part of this effort, Public Works proposed updates to multiple Redmond Municipal Code (RMC) sections within these Titles related to Public Works functions. These updates are intended to clarify roles and responsibilities within the Department and to improve operational performance and consistency. These code revisions have been coordinated with the APWA Accreditation effort to ensure code authority and operational functions are aligned.
Public Works staff provided an overview of the update process to Council at the June 3, 2025, Planning and Public Works Committee. Staff then presented and discussed specific changes with the Council to Titles 10 and 12 in June 2025 and to Titles 13 and 15 in October 2025.
The four revised Titles received a SEPA Determination of Non-Significance in early 2026, and the comment and appeal period ended on February 16, 2026. Comments received through this and other means have been addressed as summarized in the community/stakeholder outreach and involvement section below.
The City Clerk and City Attorney have reviewed and accepted the four separate ordinances attached to this memo. Public Works recommends that Council adopt these ordinances.
