The Normandy Park 2044 Comprehensive Plan is a foundational policy document guiding the city's growth and development over a twenty-year period. It establishes the community's vision for the future and provides a framework for city actions and inter-organizational collaboration. The plan incorporates elements addressing land use, housing, transportation, capital facilities, parks and recreation, environmental protection, and economic development, aiming to enhance quality of life, ensure public safety, and preserve natural surroundings while aligning with state mandates.

The Local Road Safety Plan for the City of Normandy Park is designed to enhance transportation safety for all users by proactively identifying and mitigating crash risks through a data-based approach. The plan prioritizes addressing pedestrian-related crashes, driveway-related incidents, fixed object collisions, and reducing occurrences associated with dark streets and head-on lane departures. It outlines engineering countermeasures, complemented by enforcement and education programs, to reduce the number and severity of crashes, particularly along the 1st Avenue South corridor.

This Comprehensive Plan for Normandy Park outlines the community's long-term direction towards 2044, guiding decisions that support its goals and vision while meeting the requirements of the Washington State Growth Management Act. The plan is structured around key elements including Vision and User Guide, Land Use, Housing, Transportation, Capital Facilities, Parks and Recreation, Environmental, and Economic Development, providing a comprehensive framework for community development.

The agenda includes items such as calling the meeting to order, roll call, approval of the agenda, approval of the minutes, public comment, continued business, new business including electing the 2026 President and Clerk of the Board, and adjournment. The meeting also involved discussion of the 2025 Property Tax Resolution Amendment, with a revision to capture only the 1% increase allowed by Washington State law, resulting in a levy rate of approximately $0.25 per $1,000 of assessed value. A financial analysis indicated that the 1% increase would generate approximately $6,000 in additional revenue, with homeowners seeing a minimal annual increase in their MPD taxes.

The Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) Plan guides the City of Normandy Park in planning, funding, and implementing a comprehensive program for managing stormwater runoff, addressing both current and future requirements. The plan includes elements such as stormwater planning, public education and outreach, public involvement, MS4 mapping, illicit discharge detection, runoff control from new and existing developments, source control, and operations and maintenance. It also focuses on regional coordination and compliance with NPDES permit requirements, including long-range planning, low impact development, and stormwater management action planning. The plan emphasizes continuous improvement, public engagement, and adaptive management based on regular evaluations and feedback.
