City Council Approves Acquisition of Meridian Avenue North Property for Park Expansion
The council discussed and approved the acquisition of a property located at 1500 Meridian Avenue North, identified as King County Tax parcel number 255050-0005. This acquisition is part of the city's Parks, Recreation, Open Space, and Arts Plan, specifically targeting the light rail station area (Shoreline South 148th Street station area). The property is adjacent to Twin Ponds Park and is intended to serve as a potential small play area, gathering space, picnic area, or natural open space, reflecting community needs for increased density in the area. The purchase price is $850,000, which is the appraised value. The acquisition will be funded by a combination of grants and city funds. Specifically, 75% of site stabilization costs, estimated at $220,000, will be covered by a King County Conservation Futures grant, with the remaining 25% coming from budgeted park and impact fees. The property is currently leased to tenants until April, and a timeline for future improvements or demolition has not yet been established.
City Council Considers Budget Amendment for Fleet Replacements, Including Stolen Chipper and Electric Vehicle
The council reviewed and is scheduled to approve Ordinance 1063, which amends the 2025-2026 final biennial budget to support fleet replacements. Three key requests were presented: 1) Unanticipated replacement of a stolen Vermeer chipper for $103,000, funded by insurance proceeds and reserves, with no new general fund impact for the purchase itself. 2) Additional funding for a grounds dump truck, addressing a shortfall due to higher outfitting and modification costs, partially offset by fleet replacement reserve surplus. 3) Supplemental funding for a parks operations electric vehicle (EV) that has reached the end of its useful life, utilizing a WZip incentive to reduce upfront costs by approximately $90,000, with ongoing costs reflecting higher future replacement contributions. The overall budget amendment increases appropriations and expenditures by $220,000, with various funding sources including revenue, transfers in, and obligated fund balance.
