Kirkland residents, take note—as the Kirkland City Council gears up for its next meeting on Tuesday, a few key issues will be taking the spotlight, including potential rezoning of a former park and ride as well as a Finn Hill parcel; on the docket too are discussions around local impact fees and community-initiated amendments according to a recent City of Kirkland announcement. The Council's business meeting is slated to kick off at 7:30 p.m., but those looking to get in on the ground floor should tune in for the study session at 5:30 p.m., where officials will dissect updates from the Regional Crisis Response Agency and explore a new downtown offshoot—the Waterfront Live Parking Data Webmap.
Beyond the updates and the previews, it's worth noting residents have multiple ways to catch these civic gatherings; livestreams will churn on the City's Facebook page and YouTube channel, and if cable's your thing, flip to Comcast Cable Channel 21 or Ziply Cable Channel 31 to get your fix. The City isn't all about watching from the sidelines, either—locals can lend their voices to the discussion, live and direct, whether in-person or digitally via Zoom, when the "Items from the Audience" segment hits the floor at the beginning of the 7:30 p.m. business meeting, and if you're not one for the spotlight, written comments are accepted at [email protected] or if you need more info grab your phone and dial City Clerk's Office at (425) 587-3190.
For those keen to plan ahead or simply curious about the Council's future moves, Kirkland does you a solid by offering an Agenda Calendar, just remember it's a living document subject to its fair share of changes, so consider it a guide rather than gospel as mentioned on the City of Kirkland's website.
