Your weekly update from the City of Redmond.
Please use 911 for Emergencies Only
For non-emergency COVID-19 related questions, please direct questions to the Washington State Department of Health call center at 1-800-525-0127, or look online at coronavirus.wa.gov or the Centers for Disease Control.
Please do not toss anything but toilet paper into toilets. Flushing other products can cause costly damage, including backed-up sewer lines and overflowing toilets. All wipes go in the garbage can, including disinfectant, baby, and even wipes labeled ‘flushable.’
Each Redmond household should complete a census form now and include everyone living in your home on April 1 - all ages, races, and all citizens and non-citizens, regardless of immigration status. The Census is safe, easy and confidential, and provides federal funding to our community.
Temporary Changes to Public Meetings and Public Records Acts
Governor Inslee issued a proclamation that temporarily suspends portions of the Open Public Meetings Act (OPMA) and the Public Records Act (PRA) to help minimize in-person contact. City councils, and other city boards and commissions, are temporarily prohibited from holding in-person meetings with the public present.
The City of Redmond assures that no person shall, on the grounds of race, color, national origin, or gender, as provided by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to discrimination under any program or activity.
