PUBLIC HEARING

NEW BUSINESS
Resolution setting a Public Hearing for the Assumption of the Transportation Benefit
District (TBD) by the City.
City Administrator Paul Ellis reviewed the request to set a public hearing for the Council to
consider assumption of the Transportation Benefit District (TBD). In 2013, the Arlington
City Council adopted Ordinance 2013-005 establishing a transportation benefit district for
the purpose of funding pavement preservation. RCW Chapter 36.74 authorizes any city
with a transportation benefit district (TBD) to assume the rights, powers, functions and
obligations of the TBD by adoption of an ordinance. The city must also hold a public
hearing to allow for public comment regarding the assumption of the TBD by the city.
Discussion followed. Mayor Pro Tern Marilyn Oertle moved and Councilmember Mike
Hopson seconded the motion to approve the proposed resolution setting a public hearing
regarding the City's intended assumption of the Arlington Transportation Benefit District
retroactive to January 1, 2018, pursuant to the authority of RCW 36.74.010. The motion
passed unanimously.
Airport Commission Appointment
City Administrator Paul Ellis reviewed the process for selection of a new Airport
Commissioner to replace William Jensen, who passed away suddenly in August. The Airport
Commissioner Selection Committee interviewed four candidates for the open position. One
of those interviewees lives just outside the city limits and was disqualified. The committee
recommends Chris Raezer to fill the vacant position on the Airport Commission. Discussion
followed. Councilmember Jan Schuette moved and Councilmember Jesica Stickles seconded
the motion to appoint Chris Raezer to fill the vacant position on the Airport Commission.
The motion passed 6-1.
ADMINISTRATOR & STAFF REPORTS
Councilmember Jan Schuette gave a brief report on the PSRC Growth Management Policy
Board decision last Thursday to move the regional centers criteria, including the criteria

consensus was they could start as early as 1:00 p.m.
