Proposal №2017–59, 2017 Budget Supplemental An Ordinance of the Pierce County Council Amending Ordinance №2016–65s2 as Amended by Ordinance Nos. 2016–93 and 2017–13s; Modifying the 2017 Pierce County Budget.
Sponsored by: Councilmember Douglas G. Richardson
It’s common to have year end supplemental budgets to close out the year. Many of our grant driven programs fluctuate significantly in funding. This year we also have shortfalls for the golf courses and an additional appropriation necessary for the Department of Assigned Counsel.
Proposal №2017–85, Addressing and Grid System An Ordinance of the Pierce County Council Amending Chapter 10.44 of the Pierce County Code, “Addressing and Grid System for Pierce County”; Adopting Findings of Fact; and Setting an Effective Date.
Sponsored by: Councilmember Derek Young
The final vote on an ordinance adopting address changes to meet the needs of the federally mandated Next Generation 911. As part of this update, directionals on all addresses on Key Peninsula, Fox Island, and Anderson Island are being changed. For about 375 out of almost 17,000 affected properties, more significant changes are needed to ensure first responders can find the property in the event of an emergency.
Fox Island and Anderson Island will simply drop the suffix, while the KPN/KPS designations will be changed to cardinal directions that meet requirements.
You can go here to find out more details or use this interactive map to find out how your property and neighborhood are affected.
My Weekly Calendar
Earlier this year we got a request for my forward looking calendar. Rather than have staff waste their time on public record requests, I’m just going to start publishing screen shots. Keep in mind, my schedule isn’t static. Things will get added, deleted, changed, etc. There are conflicts that I have to pick between. But if people want to see where I’m at and who I meet with, that’s fine by me.
