Background/Experience/Interest
I have been an artist all of my life, and I have been lucky enough to turn it into a full-time
occupation, since retiring. I have a passion for returning art back to the public, and as Vice
President of the Arlington Arts Council, I have a special interest in promoting art and music to the
city of Arlington.
I have quite a bit of experience with people, including a 20-year career as a diplomat in
Southeast Asia. I have worked several years in retail, which certainly honed my skills of patience in
dealing with the public, and I love working with people.
It is very important to me and the Arts Council that we cultivate a good relationship with the City
of Arlington and its residents, and that we afford everyone an opportunity to enjoy the arts as much
as we do. The Lodging Tax has been a huge factor in allowing us to present wonderful concerts
and art to the public, and I would be honored to participate on the Advisory Committee.
Thank you,
Vicki Johnson

Please accept this letter as my desire to be a member of the Arlington Lodging Tax Advisory Committee.
I have a successful genealogical and historical research firm, I am a board member and past board
member of several non-profit organizations, and I am a 26 year veteran of the Seattle Fire Department.
Through all of this experience I have been able to hone my decision making skills. Although not all
decisions are life and death, most all require a balancing act between expedience, economics, and public
good. I excel at this.
I have been involved with the Northwest Genealogy Conference for the last two years. The conference is
an extremely successful Arlington event sponsored by the Stillaguamish Valley Genealogical Society. We
more than doubled the size of the event in 2015. I have been integral to the grant writing, program
planning, preplanning, and execution of the conference. Our event has definitely put heads in beds while
bringing people to Arlington from all over the United States and Canada.
I would be very interested in the open position on the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee. I feel I can bring a
great perspective of not only a business person and public servant but also a board member of an NPO.
Thank you.

DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN
Fire Department- Contact PSD Bruce Stedman (360) 403-3601
EXPENDITURES REQUESTED: $1,500 per month
BUDGET CATEGORY: 522-71-10-00
LEGAL REVIEW:
DESCRIPTION:
This agreement establishes 3 temporary positions of “Medical Services Officers”, the
selection process for these positions, their level of authority and compensation for the
additional duties. Medical Services Officer is not a promotion but rather additional
duties assigned to current, non-probationary Paramedics.
HISTORY:
The City of Arlington Fire Department previously employed a fulltime Medical
Services Administrator (MSA) to oversee all EMS related activities. Due to budget
restraints, this position was eliminated in the 2015 budget and the duties were
performed by the former MSA on a part-time basis contract. Current State Retirement
guidelines does not allow this contract to be extended. It is the intention to replace the
MSA position as soon as it is economically feasible.
ALTERNATIVES
Contract with a different part-time MSA until able to replace position.
Hire a full-time MSA
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
I move to approve the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with IAFF Local No.
3728 for Temporary Medical Services Officers (MSO), and authorize the Mayor to
sign it.

Memorandum of Understanding
The purpose of this Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Arlington (the
“City”) and Local No. 3728, International Association of Firefighters (the “Union”) is to
memorialize an agreement reached between the parties regarding the medical services officer

The parties have in place a collective bargaining agreement covering the period from January
1, 2014 through December 31, 2016 (the “Agreement”). The City of Arlington Fire
Department previously employed a fulltime Medical Services Administrator (MSA) but did
not fund that position in the 2015 budget due to budget constraints. Former MSA Doug
Schmidt was retained on contract for a (6) month period from March to September in 2015.
That contract has expired and will not be extended. Both the City and the Local understand
and agree that the duties of the MSA are critical and need to be met if we expect to continue
an acceptable level of service. Both parties agree this is not a permanent solution to the
problem and needs to be addressed formally by the City in the future. The parties have now
reached agreement on the medical services officer position. The parties have created this
Memorandum to record their agreement.
Agreement
Now, therefore, the parties agree as follows:

positions with a recommendation from your shift Officer.

EXPENDITURES REQUESTED: None
BUDGET CATEGORY: Grant Funded/City Transportation Fund
LEGAL REVIEW:
DESCRIPTION:
Staff is requesting authority to reject all bids received for the Smokey Point Safety Improvement
Project and cancel the project.
HISTORY:
In fall of 2012 the Cit of Arlin ton applied for and received a $44,000 rant from the Federal Hi hwa
Safety Improvement Program. The grant was a joint effort between Marysville and Arlington with
Arlington’s work consisting of replacement of pedestrian crossing signal heads at one intersection and
sign upgrades at another intersection. After we received notification of the award staff began developing
the construction documents, however staff discovered as work progressed that meeting federal
guidelines required expanding the scope from the original request:
- Initial attempts to use County forces to save cost, eventually became infeasible due to
documentation requirements.
- Curb ramps must be upgraded to ADA requirements and were added to the project
- Ped signal push buttons must be relocated (need electricians and new conduit/electrical)
- Need full traffic control/flaggers (fed requirement) rather than typical setup
- Project oversight by WSDOT approved Certifying Agent (outside Contract Management)
After bidding this project, the bids received yesterday have the low bid by Sail Electric at $74,629.40.
The Additional costs and administrative effort from City funds to construct this project make the
project not a worthwhile investment.
