DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN

EXPENDITURES REQUESTED: $ 0
BUDGET CATEGORY: N/A
LEGAL REVIEW:
DESCRIPTION:
Staff is recommending action to repeal AMC 20.45 allowing 172nd St design to move
forward based on current traffic conditions, community needs, and available funding.
HISTORY:
In 2007 the City passed an ordinance creating Arlington Municipal Code 20.45 that
specifies how 172nd Street would be designed; this code applies to 172nd Street (SR-531)
between I-5 and SR-9. In addition to adopting a road cross section, AMC 20.45 specifies
required median widths, median landscaping, lane widths, sign requirements, planter
strip widths, etc.
With recent changes to speed limits on 172nd St and Arlington’s changing commuting
needs, the community’s needs will best be served by designing a roadway that is based on
traffic loading, current environmental/drainage requirements, and available funding.
ALTERNATIVES
• Do not repeal AMC 20.45
• Remand to staff for further evaluation
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
No action at this time – Public Hearing only.

BUDGET CATEGORY: Communications – City Wide
LEGAL REVIEW:
DESCRIPTION:
Jamestown Networks, which is a part of the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe Economic
Development Authority in conjunction with Northwest Open Access Network
(NoaNet), provides a state wide fiber optic network for government agencies. Use of
this network will allow us to transmit our computer data to Yakima County as a
redundant back up.
HISTORY:
Historically, the City of Arlington has kept backup tapes and appliances off site, but not
off region. By keeping data in Eastern Washington, it eliminates the risk of localized
events having an effect on the City’s data.
ALTERNATIVES
Continue to backup data off site, but not off region.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
I move to approve the Interlocal Agreement with Jamestown Networks for Ethernet
connectivity to the Yakima County data center and authorize the Mayor to sign it.
CONFIDENTIAL 1 5/22/2014
INTER-LOCAL AGREEMENT
THIS INTERLOCAL COOPERATION AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made and entered into effective
the 1st day of February, 2014, between City of Arlington, a City organized in Washington State, (“CITY”), and the
Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe Economic Development Authority, a political subdivision of a Federally recognized Indian
Tribe, dba Jamestown Networks (“JNET”). CITY and JNET are sometimes referred to in this Agreement as the
"Parties."
RECITALS
A. CITY wishes to obtain services (“Services”) from JNET, as follows:
Ethernet connectivity to the Yakima County data center in Yakima, WA via a service referred to in this
Agreement as “LGN Service” (see Exhibit A – Services Statement of Work”).
B. JNET uses the network infrastructure and personnel resources of Northwest Open Access Network
(“NoaNet”), a Washington nonprofit mutual corporation, which operates a statewide fiber optic network.
JNET has, by separate agreement, secured the services and personnel of NoaNet to provision and maintain
the services provided to CITY as set forth in this Agreement.
C. JNET is willing to provide the type of service CITY requires, referenced in A., above, for the consideration as
set forth in Exhibit A.
D. CITY confirms it has received permission from Snohomish County for its traffic to pass through the fiber
leased on behalf of the County by NoaNet to the County colocation facility at 3000 Rockefeller Str eet in
Everett, Washington.
E. CITY will make all arrangements, agreements and consideration with the County to use of the existing fiber.
F. JNet, through its subcontractor NoaNet, will assign a dedicated port on the NoaNet switch at the County
facility.
AGREEMENT
Now, therefore, CITY and JNET, in consideration of the mutual benefits hereunder, agree as follows:
1. PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The purpose and scope of this Agreement is to specify the terms and conditions under which CITY and
JNET will undertake the LGN Service. The details are described in Exhibit A to this Agreement.
1.1 CITY’s Obligations:
a. CITY hereby agrees to provide JNET, and its vendor NoaNet, access to CITY’s personnel
and facilities to complete the setup of LGN Service specified in the Exhibit A, which
service may only be used for lawful purposes, for the compensation set forth in that
exhibit.
b. The CITY agrees to pay JNET for the Service, as stipulated in Exhibit A to this Agreement,
in a timely manner.
1.2 JNET's Obligations:
a. JNET, through its agreement with its vendor NoaNet, agrees to operate and maintain the
facilities (“Facilities”) and Service as set forth in the Exhibit A for the compensation set
forth in that exhibit.

b. JNET agrees to provide the Service in a responsible and business-like manner, in
exchange for the compensation stated in Exhibit A to this Agreement.
1.3 Property Ownership and Disposition. The Parties shall retain their respective ownership of all of
their properties. This Agreement does not contemplate joint ownership of property and, therefore,
does not contain provisions regarding disposition of property owned by either Party.
2. TERM; TERMINATION
The initial term (“Initial Term”) of the Agreement shall be for a period of five (5) years from and after the Effective
Date. The Effective Date shall be the date on which the Service first becomes available for use by CITY.
Either Party may terminate this Agreement at the end of the Initial Term upon written notification to the other Party of
their intent to do so at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term. Should a terminating Party not
notify the other Party of their intent to terminate the Services at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the
Current Term, the Services and Agreement will continue in effect for an additional one (1) year term (“Default
Extended Term”).
Upon termination of this Agreement, all JNET involvement in the provision of the Services will terminate.

DESCRIPTION:
The County of Yakima offers space in their data center for offsite backup to government
agencies. Use of the Yakima data center will provide off site, off region data protection
in the event of a catastrophic event to the City of Arlington.

Historically, the City of Arlington has kept backup tapes and appliances off site, but not
off region. By keeping data in Eastern Washington, it eliminates the risk of localized
events having an effect on the City’s data.

Continue to backup data off site, but not off region.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
I move to approve the Master Services Contract with the County of Yakima for offsite data
storage and authorize the Mayor to sign it.

INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS AND CERTIFICATE
This Exhibit “D” is a continuation of that certain MASTER SERVICE S AGREEMENT between the
Yakima County Technology Services (“Host”), and City of ARLINGTON (“Entity”), and specifies
the insurance requirements of Entity under the Agreement.
1. INSURANCE.
(a) General. Prior to the commencement of this Agreement, and throughout the
entire Term of this Agreement, Entity shall procure and maintain the insurance described below.
Such insurance shall be in a form and with insurers acceptable to Host and shall comply with the
following minimum requirements.
(b) Commercial General Liability. Entity shall obtain and maintain a commercial
general liability insurance policy with reputable insurers reasonably acceptable to Host with policy
limits of not less than $2,000,000 each occurrence for bodily injury and $2,000,000 each
occurrence for damage to property, or, alternatively, $2,000,000 combined single limit each
occurrence for bodily injury and property damage combined. The policy shall be the “occurrence”
form and shall include coverage for premises and operations, contractual liability (including
insurable contractual liability assumed in this Agreement), broad form property damage, and
products and completed operations. The policy shall name Host as an additional insured to the
extent of the contractual liability assum ed by Entity in this Agreement, and shall contain a
severability of interests provision in favor of the additional insureds.
(c) Automobile Liability. If licensed vehicles will be used by Entity during the Term
of this Agreement, and at all times when such vehicles are operated on the premises of, or on
behalf of, Host, Entity shall maintain automobile liability insurance covering all owned, rented, and
non-owned vehicles with policy limits of not less than $1,000,000 combined single limit for bodily
injury and property damage combined, or, if limits are obtained on a per person and per accident
basis, not less than $1,000,000 per person and per accident for bodily injury, and $500,000 per
accident for property damage.
(d) Workers’ Compensation. Entity shall at all times comply fully with all applicable
workers’ compensation, occupational disease, and occupational health and safety laws, statutes,
and regulations, if any. Such workers’ compensation and occupational disease requirements
shall include coverage for all employees of Entity suffering bodily injury (including death) by
accident or disease, which arises out of or in connection with the performance of this Agreement
by Entity. Except to the extent prohibited by law, Entity’s program(s) for com pliance with workers’
compensation and occupational disease laws, statutes, and regulations shall provide for a full
waiver of rights of subrogation against Host, its subsidiaries, officers, and employees.
If Entity, or any subcontractor retained by Entity, fails to effect and maintain a
program of compliance with applicable workers’ compensation and occupational disease laws,
statutes, and regulations, and Host incurs liability or fines or is required by law to provide benefits
to such employees or to obtain coverage for such employees, Entity shall indemnify Host for such
fines, payment of benefits to Entity’s or subcontractors’ employees or their heirs or legal
representatives, and/or the cost of effecting coverage on behalf of such employees. Any amou nt
owed to Host by Entity pursuant to this indemnity may be deducted from any payments owed by
Host to Entity for performance of the Agreement.
(e) Employers Liability. Entity, in addition to complying with the provisions of
Section (d) above, shall maintain coverage for employers’ liability with a policy limit of not less
than $1,000,000 per accident. In jurisdictions where commercial insurance of workers’
compensation is not permitted, this requirement may be fulfilled through addition of an
Page 2 at Exhibit D
“Employers Stop Gap Liability” endorsement to the comprehensive general liability policy required
in Section (b) above.
(f) Professional Liability/Errors & Omissions Liability. Entity shall maintain
policy limits of not less than $2,000,000 each claim. Such ins urance shall include coverage for
infringement of proprietary rights of any third party, including without limitation copyright, trade
secret and trademark infringement as related to Entity’s performance under this Agreement.
Throughout the Term of this Agreement, the Professional Liability/Errors & Omissions Liability
insurance’s retroactive coverage date will be no later than the Effective Date of this Agreement.
Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, Entity will either maintain active policy
coverage, or an extended reporting period, providing coverage for claims first made and reported
to the insurance Entity within two years after the end of the Agreement.
(g) General Requirements Applicable to Above Coverages. The following
general requirements shall be applicable to all coverages referenced anywhere in this Section:
(1) The above-referenced insurance policies shall be primary and not
contributory to any insurance or program of self-insurance maintained by Host.
(2) Any deductible or retention in excess of $100,000 per occurrence or
accident under any of the above-required coverages shall be subject to the approval of Host prior
to the commencement of the Agreement.
(3) All deductibles and premiums associated with the above coverages shall
be the responsibility of the Entity.
(4) If, in the opinion of Host, the amount of liability coverage is not adequate
by reason of inflationary pressures or experience or the nature and content of Entity’s activities,
Entity shall increase the amount of insurance coverage as reasonably required by Host.
(5) At the request of Host, Entity shall provide to Host, or make available for
Host’s review, copies of the insurance policies required herein. Entity reserves the right to delete
certain proprietary information not directly related to the provisions of insurance coverage
required under this Agreement.
(6) The above referenced insurance limits shall not in any way limit the
liability of Entity or the liability of any Entity subcontracto r during their performance under this
Agreement. Where any subcontractor is retained by Entity as may be authorized by Host in
writing, Entity shall either require such subcontractor to assume the same insurance obligations
on behalf of Host as are required of Entity herein, or extend its insurance to cover any
subcontractor retained by Entity.
(h) Certificates of Insurance. Prior to the inception of this Agreement, Entity shall
provide to Host certificates of insurance evidencing full compliance with the insurance
requirements contained herein. Such certificates shall be kept current throughout the entire
period of the Agreement, and shall provide for at least thirty (30) days advance notice to Host if
the coverage is to be canceled or materially altered so as not to comply with the foregoing
requirements. Where such insurance is to waive rights of subrogation, the certificate shall
expressly reflect in writing the insurers’ acceptance of such requirements. Failure by Entity to
furnish certificates of insurance or failure by Host to request same shall not constitute a waiver by
Host of the insurance requirements set forth herein. In the event of such failure on the part of
Entity, Host expressly reserves the right to enforce these requirements.
Page 3 at Exhibit D
(i) Self-Assumption. Any self-insured retention, deductibles and exclusions in
coverage in the policies required under this article shall be assumed by, for the account of and at
the sole risk of Entity or the subcontractor which provides the insurance and to the extent
applicable shall be paid by such Entity or subcontractor. In no event shall the liability of Entity or
any subcontractor thereof be limited to the extent of any of the minimum limits of insurance
required herein.
2. NOTICE OF LOSS, INJURY OR DAMAGE.
In the event of any “significant” injury to persons or damage to property that occurs on the
premises of Host during the performance of this Agreement by Entity or any subcontractor
thereof, Entity shall notify Host as promptly as reasonably pra ctical after the occurrence of such
injury or damage, and shall provide adequate details to enable Host to investigate the cause of
such injury or damage. For the purposes of this provision, the term “significant” shall mean injury
to persons that results in hospital treatment of such injury, and for damage to property, any
damage or loss of property in excess of Ten Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($10,000.00).
3. RISK OF LOSS.
Entity assumes, and shall ensure that all subcontractors thereof and their resp ective
employees assume, the risk of loss due to its actions which impact the operation of Host’s facility
or operation of other party’s equipment located in Host’s facility, or destruction of or damage to
any property of Host or other parties whether owned, hired, rented, borrowed or otherwise. Entity
waives, and shall ensure that any subcontractor thereof and their respective employees waive, all
rights of recovery against Host, its subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees
and agents for any such loss, or against loss due to destruction of or damage to any property of
Entity, any subcontractor or their respective employees, unless the destruction of the property
was due to Host negligence.

Scope of Work
Responsible for the completion of the following recommendations from the Matrix Study (issued
5/27/2014):
Recommendations - Department Management
• Establish a process to regularly engage the community as a partner of the Department. The
initial community visioning/planning process should be conducted by mid-2014 with
meetings updates every six months thereafter. The community meetings should have an
agenda and be supported with crime analytical data portraying trends in service.
• Develop a staff committee for the establishment of a formal strategic plan that includes a
vision of what the APD should be three to five years in the future, goals for improvement,
and an action plan that defines each goal specifically, when it is to be accomplished, and who
is responsible for completing the task. The development of a new Strategic Plan should
include community input.
• Assign accountability to each manager and supervisor of attainable objectives relating to
delivery and monitoring of service to the community as well as addressing internal
Departmental improvement needs.
• Develop an annual report to the community which reports back on the progress toward
meeting established objectives and obtain their feedback on this as well as new initiatives.
• In cooperation with Human Resources, analyze the current roles of supervisors and managers
to determine if they are correctly aligned.
• In cooperation with Human Resources, develop new job descriptions for the Commanders
and review the existing job descriptions for the Sergeants.
• Utilize proper time-management methods so that decisions and the facilitation of
administrative tasks are completed in a timely manner.

department, including:
• Weekly meetings among the three top command staff with an agenda developed for each
meeting, meeting minutes and including a review of selected performance and service
objectives as well as key initiatives.

performance and service objectives as well as key initiatives.
• Attend a shift briefing at least quarterly and use that opportunity to answer questions
from staff and discuss Department performance and initiatives.

developments.
• Hold monthly labor/management meetings to discuss internal issues and opportunities to
improve the team orientation of all employees in the Department.

be measured.
DRAFT
• Develop an internal and external performance reporting system based on these goals and
objectives.
• Create an Executive Assistant-level position to support the Department and command staff
during this period of management transition.
• Explore the interest in another department in Snohomish County in jointly funding a shared
crime analyst position to develop information on crime and service in the community as well
as the extent to which Department goals and objectives were being met.
• Develop an improved approach to public communications on behalf of the Police
Department’s needs and issues, including more effective public presentations, visuals in
support of presentations and development of written staff reports.
• Develop a training schedule for all supervisors and managers that includes Leadership and
Organizational Change, Community Policing and Problem-Solving, Performance
Management and Discipline and Ethics.

legitimately defined management and leadership topics.

objectives, facilitated by a third party. After the initial planning sessions are completed,
recurring sessions should be held annually to tie accountability to performance.

quarterly), with frequent informal contacts.

Department, but focus on the management improvement issues analyzed in this chapter to
better focus it on community and internal performance and accountability.
Recommendations – Patrol Division
• Annually review patrol staff workload for each four-hour time block to ensure that a
reasonable amount of proactive hours are available throughout the day.
• Adopt a process to enhance delivery of patrol services during the periods when “proactive
time” is available. The Patrol Commander and Sergeants should coordinate the development
of plans that identify specific tasks/projects that can be worked on or accomplished when
“proactive time” is available during a shift.
• Add one Officer position (to address normal attrition) to help maintain an actual staffing
level of 17 Officers and Sergeants.
• Continue to provide initial and ongoing training to Officers who are designated to function as
the “Officer in Charge”.
DRAFT

determine the workload level demands and the level of Officer initiated activity; continue
annual reviews of Patrol workload.

led to the increase in crime and what steps can be taken to reduce crime or at least keep it
from increasing.

clearance rates for other regional police agencies.
