During the Committee of the Whole on Nov. 18, Redmond staff presented several items and the council directed them to the Dec. 2 consent agenda, with no objections reported on the floor.

Capital Facilities Plan 2050: Deputy Parks Director Dave Tuchek presented the general‑government update and said staff had incorporated council‑requested edits including a new finance narrative. The council indicated support to place the plan on the Dec. 2 consent agenda.

Redmond Fire Department Functional Plan 2050: Deputy Chief Farell presented Planning Commission red‑line edits and described how adoption by reference would align fire staffing, station modernization and capital sequencing with expected growth through 2050; staff noted adoption would position the city to update fire impact fees in 2026 and estimated the plan could unlock roughly $55 million in impact fee revenues over time. Council expressed support and directed the item to consent.

Design standards contract (MAKERS): Deputy Director Sarah Fee Allen and Audra Cardenas requested approval of a consultant contract with MAKERS for a citywide design standards update in the amount of $149,978, funded by one‑time 2025–26 budget dollars; no council objections were raised and staff will place the contract on the consent agenda.

CFD Board appointment: Finance Director Kelly Cochran requested permission to add to the consent agenda an appointment of Councilmember Nueva Camino to the Community Facilities District 2016‑01 Board of Supervisors following a resignation; councilmembers on the board voiced support and no objections were raised.

Council vacancy application questions: COO Melissa Fyles and HR Director Catherine Laird presented five supplemental short‑answer questions for applicants to fill Council Position No. 1; council gave unanimous thumbs up to release the application the next day.

What this means: Each of the items above was directed to the Dec. 2 consent agenda for formal action; if any council member raises an objection before that meeting the items could be removed for separate consideration. Staff indicated they will return with any required follow‑up materials and implementation details before the Dec. 2 business meeting.
