The Renton City Council approved routine finance and consent items during the meeting. Council moved and approved a consent agenda covering nine items.

The Finance Committee reported recommended payments of $7,803,650.92 for vouchers (including benefits and withholding vouchers) and payroll vouchers totaling $2,166,798.56 for the October pay period. Council concurred with the committee report and approved the payments by voice vote.

The Finance Committee also recommended concurrence with staff to approve the 2026 stop‑loss (excess loss) insurance renewal with Symetra. The proposed renewal includes increasing the individual deductible up to $300,000, which the committee report said would save $311,521 on the annual premium and result in a total stop‑loss premium of $1,267,282. Council voted to concur with the recommendation and authorized the mayor and city clerk to sign implementing documents when ready.

Earlier in the meeting, council also voted to excuse one absent council member by unanimous voice vote. All votes recorded in the meeting were voice votes with no recorded opposition.
