The Federal Communications Commission recently granted the city of Bainbridge Island a 10-year license to operate an AM information radio station.

The city expects to have the station — which will be transmitted on 600k Hz and 1700 kHz — broadcasting in late summer or fall, according to the city manager’s report.

The radio station will provide information about Amber Alerts, school incidents, bridge closures, earthquakes and other types of emergencies.

“During nonemergency times, the station could be used to inform motorists of street repairs, traffic hazards, community events, travel advisories, city history and even visitor information,” the report says.

The city has been working to start a radio station alongside Sustainable Bainbridge, an island nonprofit that created Bainbridge Community Broadcasting.

Bainbridge Community Broadcasting provides podcasts and radio shows online via its website.

There will be a public meeting Monday about a newly proposed development for artists.

Tseng Properties, LLC, is proposing ten buildings on 4.5 acres of undeveloped land located west on NE Day Road W, and accessed off of Saddle Club and Manzanita Park access roads. The buildings could be used for “light manufacturing” such as workshops, storage and display spaces for lease.

The public meeting will be at 5:30 p.m. Monday in the council chambers at City Hall.

We haven’t forgot about the police blotter, there just hasn’t been anything to report this week or last week.
