RESOLUTION NO. 2021-XXX
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARLINGTON, WASHINGTON, DECLARING
THAT THE PURCHASE OF “LIGHTED X” DISPLAYS FOR THE ARLINGTON MUNICIPAL AIRPORT IS A
PURCHASE INVOLVING SPECIAL MARKET CONDITIONS AND AUTHORIZING NEGOTIATION WITH
THE SUPPLIER OF THE EQUIPMENT
WHEREAS, the City of Arlington is obligated to follow competitive bidding statutes
except in certain circumstances defined by state law when competitive bidding is not feasible or
in the best interests of the city; and
WHEREAS, when competitive bidding is not feasible or in the best interests of the City
RCW 35.23.352 requires written findings to that effect; and

specific needs of the City at a very favorable price and may be sold before the City could
complete a formal bidding process; and
WHEREAS, RCW 39.04.280(1) provides a “special facilities or market condition”
exception from competitive bidding requirements for purchases of materials, supplies, or
equipment; and
WHEREAS, although the term “special facilities or market condition” is not defined in

RESOLUTION NO. 2021-XXX 2
1. Findings. The City Council finds as follows:
a. Currently, the Arlington Municipal Airport has two “lighted X” displays that have
been utilized over the last 15-20 years and while they have sufficed for most
projects, the Airport has nonetheless had to rent additional X’s in support of
construction projects.
b. Additionally, the Airport this year had to invest $5,500 on its current lighted X’s
in replacement generator, LED lighting update and rental for a standalone
generator while it was down during a construction project.
c. Because the Airport operates two separate runways, a total of four lighted X’s
are required for extended closures of both runways.
d. Purchase of additional X’s will update and ensure proper supply of lighted X’s to
conduct projects and safely close runways.
e. The City has found two lighted X units for sale by Inland Asphalt Company of
Yakima, WA, who are offering these items for sale at a price of $15,000 for two
items ($7,500 each), which is nearly 60% reduction in price and a $21,000
savings over the new purchase price for the same model and type.
f. These lighted X equipment items rarely make it to the marketplace and typically
when they do they are in very poor condition; after an extensive comparative
search City staff has found only a handful of used X’s around the country
available for sale, all of which were in exceedingly poor condition and were as
much or more in cost than the units currently available for sale through Inland
Asphalt Company of Yakima, WA.
g. The units being considered for purchase have been used on one project only and
total approximately 1500 hours of use per unit. They are FAA approved and LED
lighted.
2. Based on the foregoing findings, the City Council hereby declares that the
proposed purchase of the “Lighted X” displays is a purchase involving special market conditions
within the meaning of RCW 39.04.280 and the City’s financial policies. Pursuant to RCW
39.04.280(1)(b) competitive bidding shall be waived and City staff is hereby authorized to
negotiate with Inland Asphalt Company of Yakima, WA for the purchase of the equipment at
the estimated total cost of $15,000.00.

Exhibit A
History and Proposed Purchase Documents
Arlington Municipal Airport is proposing the purchase of two additional lighted X’s used for visual aids in order to close
runways at the Airport during:
Construction
Accidents and incidents
Events
Natural disasters or Airport staging during such events
This is standard practice for airports and specified by the FAA for extended closures like the ones fore mentioned. The
Airport will need these lighted X’s for upcoming projects.
Currently, the Airport has two lighted X’s that have been utilized over the last 15-20 years and while they have sufficed
for most projects the Airport has nonetheless had to rent additional X’s in support of construction projects. Additionally,
it should be noted that the Airport this year had to invest $5,500 on its current lighted X’s in replacement generator, LED
lighting update and rental for a standalone generator while it was down during the construction project.
Because the Airport operates two separate runways a total of four lighted X’s are required for extended closures of both
runways. Purchase of these additional X’s will update and insure proper supply of lighted X’s to conduct projects and
safely close runways.
The units we are proposing have been used on one project only and total approximately 1500 hours of use per unit.
They are FAA approved and LED lighted. The total cost of $15,000 plus tax represent a nearly 60 % reduced costs of new
lighted X’s of the same model and type.
These lighted X equipment items rarely make it to the marketplace and typically when they do they are in very poor
condition. Currently after an extensive comparative search there were only a handful of used X’s around the country
available for sale. All were in exceedingly poor condition and were as much or more in cost than the units proposed.
Benefits to this purchase:
Savings of over $21,000 over new purchases that the Airport will need to make for currently scheduled
upcoming projects.
Ability to close all runways simultaneously (currently not able to do so). Given the use of the Arlington
Airport for use in mass casualty incident, Cascadia rising, Pandemic mass inoculation sites, there are times
when multiple areas of the Airport may need to be shut down or restricted access. This would prepare the
Airport for the necessary closures now and at a significant savings of money and time.
Upgrade to current stock of lighted X’s that ultimately will need to be replaced in a few years.
Short time use on these particular units ensure a nearly new condition on a quality FAA approved piece of
equipment for use by the Airport for years to come.
Lack of available comparable used units nationwide limits any possible reasonable bid process. These simply
are not commonly found in the used market much less within the same state (these are located in Yakima).

HISTORY: The Cemetery Board serves as an advisory board to the Mayor and City Council with respect to all aspects of the Arlington Cemetery. The board meets bi-monthly and reviews activities and operations as well as finances, capital planning, future expansion plans/needs and any other issues that may arise. A vacancy was created on the Cemetery Board when Skip Smith r etired in 2020 after serving the Cemetery and community for over 20 years. The City is grateful for Skip’s years of service. The City advertised for the vacated Cemetery Board position and two applications were received. An interview committee consisting of City staff, a current Cemetery Board member, and an Elected official (Debora Nelson) conducted on-line interviews with the two applicants on November 17, 2020. While both applicants are very well qualified, the interview committee is recommending DeAnn Bennett to fill the vacant position. ALTERNATIVES: Re-advertise for the vacant position. Table recommendation until a later date. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Workshop; discussion only. At the January 19 Council meeting, the recommended motion will be, “I move to consent to the appointment of DeAnn Bennett to the Arlington Cemetery Board.”

City of Arlington Council Agenda Bill Item: WS #3 Attachment C
the SR-531 widening project started. The City later entered into a partnership with the Outpost and Smokey Point developer for mutual work on the design and installation of trunk infrastructure to serve the South CIC area and his development (Amendment #1). Per the partnership, the City would design the needed trunk infrastructure improvements and the developer would construct. There were various design changes to accommodate the developer’s final site development and the construction of the new sanitary sewer lift station (LS-16) has more risk than the developer is comfortable with. The developer asked the City to take over the lift station construction portion of the project which requires the LS-16 construction documents be elevated to a “Public Bid” level.

or water use.
(2) A minimum monthly charge will be established by the city to
cover the basic sewer costs and monitoring of the industrial user's wastewater
discharge, and in the event the monthly sewer bill does not exceed this amount the
industrial user shall agree to pay the estimated minimum monthly charge. This
charge shall be reviewed from time to time and adjusted to ensure the charge is
covering the monitoring services and sewer costs provided and must be reviewed
every two years. Initially, the monthly charges shall be based on the following,
unless otherwise established in the negotiated discharge permit:
(A) For an industrial user with waste strength less than two
hundred fifty mg/l, measured as five-day BOD and TSS, and other
parameters within limits established in Sections 13.08.240, 13.08.250,
[and Chapter] 13.36, and whose discharge does not require regular
monitoring other than flow, the minimum monthly charge is as set forth
below:
(B) For an industrial user with waste strength in excess of two
hundred fifty mg/l for two months or more per year, the minimum
monthly charge is as set forth below:
(C) Beginning January 15, 2022, and each January 15th
thereafter, the charges set forth in subsections (1)(A) and (1)(B), shall be
increased annually, by the October reported percentage increase of the
consumer price index (CPI) for the Seattle-Tacoma-Bremerton area for all
urban consumers, or other measure commonly used by the city should it
change; provided, however, that notwithstanding any reduction in the CPI,
rates shall not decrease.
(3) Until such time as a sewer user charge analysis can be conducted
to establish equitable charges under a negotiated discharge permit between the
city and the industrial user, the following shall be used as the basis for industrial
user charges:
(A) Flow based charge per cubic foot of wastewater discharged;
(B) BOD charge per pound of BOD discharged; and
(C) TSS charge per pound of TSS discharged, pursuant to the
following table:

(D) Beginning January 15, 2022, and each January 15th
thereafter, the charges set forth in subsection (c), shall be increased
annually, by the October reported percentage increase of the consumer
price index (CPI) for the Seattle-Tacoma-Bremerton area for all urban
consumers, or other measure commonly used by the city should it change;
provided, however, that notwithstanding any reduction in the CPI, rates
shall not decrease.
(4) Flow shall be based upon one hundred percent of the water
consumption or rate of flow of wastewater discharge into the sewer (measured in
an industrial user installed flow measurement and recording equipment installed
in control manhole, pursuant to Chapter 13.36). Strength of wastewater
discharged shall be established based upon twenty-four-hour composite samples
made by the city at the control manhole and tested by the city's wastewater
treatment plant laboratory or state certified testing laboratory. All testing shall be
in accordance with the latest edition of "Standard Methods for Examination of
Water and Wastewater," APHA, AWWA and WPCF. BOD and TSS, pounds per
day, shall be calculated based upon concentration of composite samples and
established flow rates.
(5) Appeal.
(A) If any user believes that a portion of the user's metered
flow, larger than ten percent, is not discharged into the sewer system
(when flow measurement is not provided in the control manhole), the user
should make written application to the public works director for review of
the user's flow of wastewater. If the public works director agrees that
charges for the user should be adjusted, they shall so notify the city
council, which may approve such change, or direct a recomputation of the
user's sewer rates.
(B) If the public works director does not agree to the
adjustment of user charges, the user may further appeal to the city
council, which may direct further study or take other appropriate action.

SECTION 4. Procedures and Criteria for Evaluating and Determining Planned
Action Projects within Planned Action Area.
A. Planned Action Area. This Planned Action designation shall apply to the area
shown in Exhibit A, incorporated herein by reference.
B. Environmental Document. A Planned Action determination for a site-specific
project application within the Planned Action Area shall be based on the environmental analysis
contained in the Draft EIS issued by the City on October 1, 2020 and the Final EIS published on
Month, Year. The Draft and Final EIS documents shall comprise the Cascade Industrial Center
Planned Action EIS for the Planned Action Area. The mitigation measures contained in Exhibit B,
attached to this Ordinance and incorporated herein by reference, are based upon the findings
of the Planned Action EIS and shall, along with adopted City regulations, provide the framework
that the City will use to apply appropriate conditions on qualifying Planned Action projects
within the Planned Action Area.
C. Planned Action Designated. Land uses and activities described in the Planned
Action EIS, subject to the thresholds described in Subsection 4(D) and the mitigation measures
contained in Exhibit B, are designated Planned Actions or Planned Action Projects pursuant to
RCW 43.21C.440. A development application for a site-specific Planned Action project located
within Planned Action Area shall be designated a Planned Action if it completes the modified
SEPA Checklist in Exhibit B and meets the criteria set forth in Subsection 4(D) of this Ordinance
and all other applicable laws, codes, development regulations and standards of the City are
met.
D. Planned Action Qualifications. The following thresholds shall be used to
determine if a site-specific development proposed within the Planned Action Area was
contemplated as a Planned Action and has had its environmental impacts evaluated in the
Planned Action EIS:
(1) Qualifying Land Uses.
(a) Planned Action Categories: The following general categories/types of
land uses are defined in the AMMIC Subarea Plan (now retitled the Cascade Industrial Center)
and are considered Planned Actions:
i. Industrial/Manufacturing: The general industrial (GI) and light
industrial (LI) uses primarily to accommodate enterprises engaged in the manufacturing,
processing, creating, repairing, renovating, painting, cleaning, or assembling of goods,
merchandise, or equipment. Aerospace, robotics, advanced manufacturing, food processing,
maritime, wood products and mass timber manufacturing are desired sectors identified in the
subarea plan. Workforce development uses and limited amounts of workforce housing tied to
these sectors are also allowed. The performance standards set forth in Part I of Chapter 20.44
place limitations on the characteristics of uses located in these districts. The light industrial
district is distinguished from the general industrial district in that the light industrial district is
intended to be a cleaner, more business park-like area, whereas the general industrial district
allows more resource-based manufacturing, and has a greater tolerance of the nuisances that
ORDINANCE NO. 2021-XXX City of Arlington CIC Planned Action Page 4
typically accompany such manufacturing. Furthermore, the limitations in the light industrial
district are more restrictive than those in the general industrial district.
ii. Aviation-related uses: Aviation Flightline uses proximate to airport
runways and taxiways. Aviation related uses include any uses related to supporting aviation
that require direct taxiway access as a necessary part of their business operations, such as
aviation services, manufacturing of aviation-related goods, general services whose primary
customers would be those engaged in aviation-related activities (e.g., restaurants primarily
catering to pilots, employees, or passengers), or other uses that are clearly related to aviation.
iii. Commercial: Industrial serving commercial uses including retail,
office, and services consistent with zone requirements.
iv. Open Space, Recreation: Active and passive parks, recreation, and
open space facilities consistent with zone requirements, including fish and wildlife habitat
enhancements considered in the AMMIC Subarea Plan or associated EIS.
(b) Planned Action Uses: A land use shall be considered a Planned Action
Land Use when:
i. it is within the Planned Action Area as shown in Exhibit A;
ii. it is within one or more of the land use categories described in
subsection 1(a) above; and
iii. it is listed in development regulations applicable to the zoning
classifications applied to properties within the Planned Action Area.
A Planned Action may be a single Planned Action use or a combination of
Planned Action uses together in a mixed use development. Planned Action uses include
accessory uses.
(c) Public Services: The following public services, infrastructure and utilities
are also Planned Actions: Multi-modal transportation improvements, water and sewer
improvements, and stormwater improvements, considered in capital plans associated with the
AMMIC Subarea Plan (now retitled Cascade Industrial Center).
i. Applicants for public services, infrastructure and utilities projects
shall demonstrate consistency with the AMMIC Subarea Plan (now retitled Cascade Industrial
Center), Arlington Shoreline Master Program, and Arlington Critical Areas Ordinance.
ii. Essential public facilities defined in RCW 47.06.140 are excluded
from the Planned Action and not eligible for review or permitting as Planned Actions unless
they are accessory to or part of a project that otherwise qualifies as a planned action.
(2) Development Thresholds:
(a) Land Use: The following amounts of various new land uses are
contemplated by the Planned Action:

Exhibit B: Example Environmental Checklist and Required Mitigation Document
INTRODUCTION
The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) requires environmental review for project and non-project proposals that
are likely to have adverse impacts upon the environment. In order to meet SEPA requirements, the City of Arlington
issued the Cascade Industrial Center Planned Action Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) on October 1, 2020,
and the Final EIS was issued on Month XX, 2020. The Draft and the Final EIS together are referenced herein as the
“EIS”. The EIS has identified significant beneficial and adverse impacts that are anticipated to occur with the future
development of the Planned Action Area, together with a number of possible measures to mitigate those significant
adverse impacts.
On Month XX, 2020, the City of Arlington adopted Ordinance No. _____ establishing a planned action designation
for the Cascade Industrial Center studied as Planned Action in the EIS (see Exhibit A). SEPA Rules indicates review of
a project proposed as a planned action is intended to be simpler and more focused than for other projects (WAC
197-11-172). In addition, SEPA allows an agency to utilize a modified checklist form that is designated within the
planned action ordinance (see RCW 43.21c.440). This Exhibit B-1 provides a modified checklist form adopted in the
Cascade Industrial Center Planned Action Ordinance.
MITIGATION DOCUMENT
A Mitigation Document is provided in Exhibit B-2, and also summarized in the environmental checklist. Exhibit B-2
establishes specific mitigation measures, based upon significant adverse impacts identified in the EIS. The mitigation
measures shall apply to future development proposals which are consistent with the Planned Action scenarios
reviewed in the EIS, and which are located within the Cascade Industrial Center Planned Action Area (see Exhibit A).
In addition, Exhibit B-3 provides details of transportation mitigation requirements.
APPLICABLE PLANS AND REGULATIONS
The EIS identifies specific regulations that act as mitigation measures. These are summarized in Exhibit B-4 by EIS
topic, and are advisory to applicants. All applicable federal, state, and local regulations shall apply to Planned Actions,
including the regulations that are adopted with the Preferred Alternative. Planned Action applicants shall comply
with all adopted regulations where applicable including those listed in the EIS and those not included in the EIS.
INSTRUCTIONS TO APPLICANTS
This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. The City of Arlington
will use this checklist to determine whether the project is consistent with the analysis in the Cascade Industrial
Center Planned Action EIS and qualifies as a planned action or would otherwise require additional environmental
review under SEPA. Answer the questions briefly, with the most precise information known, or give the best
description you can. You must answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. The
checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of time or on
different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal or its environmental
effects. The City may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information. In most cases, you should
be able to answer the questions from your own project plans and the Planned Action EIS without the need to hire
experts.

EXHIBIT B-3 ADDITIONAL MITIGATION REQUIREMENTS & PROCEDURES
Transportation
Frontage Improvements
When a property redevelops and applies for permits, frontage improvements (or in-lieu contributions) and right-of-way
dedications if needed are required by the Arlington Municipal Code (AMC 20.56.170).
If right-of-way (or an easement) is needed, it also must be dedicated to the City by the Planned Action Application
property owner.
Planned Action applicants may request and the City may consider a fee-in-lieu for some or all of the frontage
improvements that are the responsibility of the property owner consistent with criteria in AMC 20.56.170 and
agreements pursuant to RCW 82.02.020 or other instrument deemed acceptable to the City and applicant.
Mitigation Fees
Areawide Improvements: Implementation of improvements identified in Table B.3-1 shall occur through a SEPA fair
share fee program such that new development contributes its share of the cost for these projects.
Cost Basis: Unless amended, or replaced with a transportation impact fee, mitigation fees consistent with the
proportionate share of costs shall be applied to planned action applications. This fee shall be payable in addition to the
impact fee in AMC Chapter 20.90 until such time as the improvements in Table B.3-1 are incorporated into the City’s
impact fee basis.
A Planned Action’s trips calculated per Section 4.D(3)(d) will be used to determine a development’s demand and
mitigation payment.
Mitigation Fee Payable at Permit Issuance: The mitigation fee shall be payable at the time of building permit issuance.
The Planned Action Share Transportation Fees will be incorporated into the City master fee schedule. Fees shall be
subject to biennial review to affirm the cost basis including a construction cost index or an equivalent as determined by
the City.
Should the State of Washington develop capital improvements that are scheduled in addition to the listed mitigation in
Table B.3-1, the City may collect a fair share cost of such improvements to the extent the improvements add capacity
to address growth.
Transportation Demand Management
Each Planned Action shall demonstrate consistency with requirements for Commute Trip Reduction (AMC Chapter
10.80). The City may condition Planned Actions to provide for transportation demand management measures to assist
in meeting City levels of service and concurrency.
Each Planned Action shall provide for electric vehicle infrastructure (AMC Chapter 20.44.098).

Natural Environment
Development and redevelopment projects within the study area that have the potential to impact environmentally sensitive
natural resources will require compliance with federal, state, and local regulations. Mitigation sequencing to avoid, minimize,
and mitigate environmental impacts is typically required for all applicable permitting reviews and authorizations. The table
below provides a regulatory permit matrix for actions requiring local, state, and federal authorizations. Appropriate
mitigation measures specific to project alternatives will need to be proposed when alternatives are farther along in the
planning process. This may include preservation, enhancement, and restoration of wetland and marine shoreline buffer.

Water
When evaluating new construction, Arlington Public Works and Utilities Department personnel determine the ability of the
water system to meet fire flow requirements at that location with a minimum of 20 psi residual pressure throughout the
distribution system. If the water system cannot provide the required fire flow for the specific project, the developer is
required to revise building construction and/or make the necessary improvements to the distribution system to meet the
project’s fire flow requirements as established by the City Fire Chief. The available fire flow will be determined by the City’s
engineering staff using the water system hydraulic model.
City of Arlington CIC Planned Action Page 29
AMC Chapter13.08. includes provisions for service connections and mains to be upgraded by developers during
redevelopment if required to meet engineering design and construction standards. Chapter 13.08. also includes provisions
for installation of pumps if required to achieve adequate pressure during peak demands.
Wastewater
AMC Chapter 13.36 includes provisions for wastewater service connections and extensions when existing connections are
inadequate or sewer mains are not present along the frontage of a property.
Stormwater
AMC Chapter 13.28 includes provisions that require redevelopment to meet stormwater management requirements of the
Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington, which requires low impact development BMPs, flow control, and
water quality treatment. Under all the alternatives these requirements are expected to result in a net improvement in the
quality of stormwater that is discharged to the Stillaguamish River and Quilceda Creek via ditches, Hayho Creek, Westphal
Creek, Portage Creek, Prairie Creek and Edgecomb Creek.
