After weeks of public comment and national reporting on misuse of license-plate data, Renton council directed the city to cover 24 Flock ALPR cameras and asked the administration to host a public town-hall orientation on the system.

Planning staff told the council committee the city’s comprehensive-plan update is fully certified by PSRC and the State Department of Commerce, outlined a 12–18 month Valley community‑plan process tied to major private investments, and reviewed state-mandated code changes affecting housing, ADUs, parking and neighborhood retail.

Multiple Renton residents urged the City Council to terminate the city’s contract with Flock (ALPR license-plate readers), citing security incidents, vendor terms that they say permit data reuse, and concerns about federal sharing and ICE access; speakers asked for a community meeting, audits and a public timeline rather than immediate reactivation.

The Renton City Council voted to ask the city administration to research whether ICE officers who violate Renton or Washington law could be charged, after heated debate over wording, legal authority and police response to community reports.

The Renton Police Department told council it has 52 engagement dates on the calendar for 2026, including youth and senior academies, a new 'Let's Talk' series, community academies and the Battle of the Badges on Dec. 12, 2026.

Council members announced committee meeting schedules for April 27 and previewed agenda items: a Commerce housing grant for Homestead Community Land Trust, a SNAP incentive amendment, a WSDOT local agency agreement for Rainier Avenue improvements, an interlocal police agreement for the 2026 World Cup, and budget/fee schedule items.

The Renton City Council voted 5–2 to approve $900,000 in lodging‑tax allocations for 2026, directing $600,000 to a Legacy Square programming block and funding several festivals and visitor services while some council members and members of the public urged more data and conflict‑of‑interest safeguards.
