On behalf of the Shoreline City Council, I proclaim September 15th through October 15th, 2025 as Hispanic Heritage Month in the City of Shoreline, and encourage all community members to find ways to honor uh Latin heritage throughout the year.

September 15th through 21st is diaper need awareness week.

I'd like to encourage the residents of Shoreline to donate to diaper banks and drives and support organizations that collect and distribute diapers to families struggling with diaper need.

And finally, September 17th through 23rd is Constitution Week, with Constitution Day being September 17th in the City of Shoreline.

We ask our residents to reaffirm the ideals of the framers of the Constitution that they had in 1787 by vigilantly protecting the freedoms guaranteed to us through this guardian of our liberties, remembering that lost rights may never be regained.

The next item is approval of tonight's agenda.

If there are no objections or comments, the agenda is adopted by unanimous consent.

The uh next on the agenda is the report of the city manager, Mr.

Ellington.

Good evening, Council.

I'm excited to share an important update on the 145th Street and I-5 interchange project.

After 24 days of construction, the Northeast 145th Street and I-5 ramp will be reopening this Thursday, September 18th.

Additionally, the roundabout on the west end of the I-5 overpass will be open and operational in a single lane configuration while construction continues in the area.

This is a huge milestone for this project and improving overall mobility and safety in the corridor.

The second roundabout on the east end is on track to open in early 2026.

For more up-to-date project information, visit engage.shorelinewa.gov forward slash 145th corridor.

Welcoming week is in full swing.

Join us this Tuesday, September 16th for a button making for all event at the Shoreline Library.

Design and create your own pinback buttons using the library's button machine.

This is a drop-in program open to all ages.org.

Visit our newest artist in residence, GG Silverman, during their open studio hours this Friday and Sunday.

See their exposition artifacts from a future disaster during their residency.

Learn more about the artists and the city's artists in residence program by visiting shorelinewa.gov forward slash art.

And finally, just a couple of reminders.

The Parks Recreation and Cultural Services Tree Board's next meeting is Thursday, September 25th at 7 p.m.

And for more information about these upcoming meetings, please visit shoreline law.gov forward slash calendar.

And that concludes the city manager's report.

Thank you.

Are there any council reports this evening?

Councilmember Adamasu.

Thank you, Mayor.

Myself, Deputy Mayor Morgue, City Manager Ellington, and City Staff had a tour of the Oaks, which is run by Lake City Partners.

This former nursing home transitions unhoused individuals out of tents or on the street and works with partners to find placement in permanent supportive housing.

Each bed is usually full.

It's rare to even see one bed empty.

The need for housing is greater than housing units available.

With federal funding cuts to Medicaid, they project our unhoused population to grow considerably.

Then today, myself and City Manager Ellington met with executive director and staff at the Dale Turner YMCA and discussed ways in which the city and the Y can partner more in the future to meet the needs of our community members.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Councilmember Ramsdale.
