Proposed Cost of Living Adjustment
DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN
Administration / Human Resources
EXPENDITURES REQUESTED: $23,649.27
BUDGET CATEGORY: N/A
LEGAL REVIEW:
DESCRIPTION:
In conjunction with the budget process and the recent adoption of two collective
bargaining agreements, Administration and Human Resources are proposing a cost of
living adjustment (COLA) for the City’s non-represented employees not under contract.
Consistent with the recent settlements with the IAFF Local No. 3728 and the Arlington
Police Officer’s Association, we are recommending a COLA of 3.5% retroactive to July 1,
2015 and COLA of 1.6% beginning January 1, 2016. Because the COLA for 2015 is for a
half year, the actual COLA is 1.75% over the whole year. The cost of the COLAs were
assumed in the development of the 2015 and 2016 budgets.
HISTORY:
The last cost of living adjustment (COLA) for non-represented employees was in January
1, 2009.

Ordinance 2015 XXX – Exhibit “A”
DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN
Finance Department, Kristin Garcia – Finance Director
EXPENDITURES REQUESTED: $4,146,193
BUDGET CATEGORY: Breakdown attached
LEGAL REVIEW:
DESCRIPTION:
Each year budget amendments are proposed to reflect unforeseen expenditures that have
occurred since the original budget was adopted. For the 2015 budget, 66% percent of the
amendments are for inter-fund transfers for cash flow purposes, closing out of two funds
and to move operation reserves to capital improvement funds. The remaining 34% is
due to unexpected expenditure activity, the majority of which is offset by an increase in
revenues and paid for by grants and donations.
HISTORY:
Council has been aware of the expenditure activity and has reviewed and approved the
expenditures throughout 2015.
ALTERNATIVES
State law requires budget amendments be approved prior to the end of the fiscal year. If
the budget amendments are not approved by year end, the City will be out of
compliance with state law.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Workshop; discussion only. At the December 21, 2015 meeting the motion will read; “I
move to adopt Ordinance No. 2015-XXX amending the 2015 budget per attached Exhibit
A”.

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE 2015 ANNUAL BUDGET OF THE
CITY OF ARLINGTON BY PROVIDING SUPPLEMENT THERETO;

opportunity to comment, and
WHEREAS, because this will require increasing the appropriation level in one or
more funds, an amendment is needed, NOW THEREFORE,

Lodging Tax Advisory Committee – Member Removal and New Member Appointment

EXPENDITURES REQUESTED: N/A
BUDGET CATEGORY: N/A
LEGAL REVIEW:
DESCRIPTION:
A recently appointed member of the lodging tax advisory committee has become
ineligible to serve as a committee member. The ineligibility of this member has been
confirmed by City legal counsel. Staff has been unable to confirm with the committee
member that they will voluntarily resign their position on the committee, therefore staff
is recommending a public hearing be held to remove this individual from the committee.
An application has been received by Ruth Caesar, President of the Stillaguamish Valley
Genealogical Society to replace a member on the lodging tax advisory committee that has
recently become ineligible to serve. An interview was conducted and the interview
panel recommends the appointment of Ruth Caesar to the committee. Her term will
expire April 1, 2017.
City of Arlington
Council Agenda Bill
Item:
WS #3
Attachment
C
HISTORY:
On November 16, 2015, the Council appointed two members to the lodging tax advisory
committee, Vicki Johnson and Eric Stroschein. Subsequent to that appointment, Mr.
Stroschein became ineligible to serve on the committee as he is no longer participating in
the organization that qualified him as eligible (Stillaguamish Genealogical Society). In
addition, the organization to which Mr. Stroschein is currently serving, the Association
of Professional Genealogists, does not qualify for funding as they do not have any active
events within the City of Arlington. State law and Arlington Municipal Code require
that the committee be comprised equally of members who represent businesses require
to collect the tax and members who are involved in funded activities (eligible to receive
funding). Legal counsel confirmed that “if the organization to which the member
belongs is not engaged in local events, the organization presumably is not eligible for
lodging tax funding because of the prohibition against the City making gifts of public
funds; consequently the member would not be eligible to serve on the committee”.
Going forward, we will update our process which will require applicants to provide a
letter of recommendation from the organization they are representing to confirm the
member is in good standing.
ALTERNATIVES
Reject staff recommendation.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Workshop; discussion only.
At the December 21, 2015 council meeting a public hearing will be held and following
the hearing, the first motion will read: “I move to repeal the appointment of Eric
Stroschein from the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee”.
At the December 21, 2015 meeting the second motion will read: I move to confirm the
appointment of Ruth Caesar to the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee.

BUDGET CATEGORY: N/A
LEGAL REVIEW:
DESCRIPTION:
Staff and the Planning Commission developed a work plan process to better identify
and facilitate the workload for 2016. This not only serves as tool to establish tasks
and identify resources needed to complete the goals, it also assists the city attorney
with forecasting land use tasks and identifies future budget needs for programs.
Most importantly, it will serve as a tool to keep the council advised on Planning
Commission tasks during the year and produce the annual report at the end of each
year.
HISTORY:
Typically the Planning Commission only meets to handle items that are agenda
specific. Agenda items are formulated by proposed development and or changes to
Land Use Codes or other statutory process. When there are no items for the agenda –
no meeting took place. The Work Plan serves as the 2016 agenda so there will always
be a minimum of two meetings per month.
ALTERNATIVES

RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Workshop; discussion only.
2016 Planning Commission Work Plan
The purpose of the Work Plan is to break down the goal setting process into smaller, more actionable steps. This work plan helps with outlining what is
needed to accomplish each goal (collaboration, resources, due date or frequency, anticipated obstacles and solutions). The goals can be listed first and
then ranked in order of priority in the 1st far left column.
REMEMBER:
Use SMART goal setting: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Trackable & Time Bound
Established goals are created as fillers for Planning Commission meetings and do not take the place of required development meetings
Track progress made throughout the year to stay on target and bump out as necessary to accommodate development items

system costs. The last evaluation of the connection fees was completed in 2005. There was an
increase on the sewer connection fee in 2011 for costs associated with wastewater treatment plant,
improvements however the 2005 base sewer connection fee was not reassessed.

The City desires to have legal descriptions with exhibits prepared to be used in the documents
for acquiring property for the proposed roadway. The right-of-way is proposed as 60 feet in
width for the total length and will cross through six parcels. Two of these parcels are owned by
the City and require no right-of-way exhibits. The four parcels requiring legal descriptions and
right-of-way exhibits are Tax Parcel #31051400203300; #31051400303100; #31051400302900;
and #31051400303000.
Proposed services are described in more detail below.
Scope of Services
1.0 Survey and Mapping
1.1. Review of record information and boundary resolution
The Consultant will collect record survey information and resolve the adjoining property
boundaries with a field survey as needed to write the legal descriptions for right-of-way
acquisition. Existing easements and other encumbrances disclosed in the title reports will be
reviewed and resolved.

1.2. Preparation of Legal Descriptions and Exhibits
After clear title of the four parcels has been verified such that the proposed right-of-way can be
acquired the Consultant will prepare legal descriptions for right-of-way and temporary
construction easements (TCE) and supporting graphic exhibits on the four above identified tax
parcels for the City’s use in preparing acquisition documents. Additionally, although the
roadway design is not sufficiently completed to understand TCE need on other parcels the
scope of services provides for preparing TCEs and supporting graphic exhibits for four
additional adjoining parcels.
Task 1.0 Deliverables:
• A map prepared in AutoCAD of the proposed alignment and adjoining parcels to be used
for calculations and as a basemap for legal description geometry and exhibits.
• A legal description exhibit and supporting graphic exhibit for right-of-way acquisition for
each of the four parcels, suitable for inclusion as exhibits to other acquisition documents.
• Legal descriptions exhibit and supporting graphic exhibit for TCE’s for eight parcels,
suitable for inclusion as exhibits to TCE documents
Task 1.0 Assumptions:
• City to provide current title reports for properties requiring right-of-way acquisition.
• Scope of services assumes that properties requiring right-of-way acquisition have clear title
for which property can be acquired.
• City shall be responsible for preparation of acquisition documents
• City to provide the horizontal and vertical project control points for existing survey data
and the proposed road right-of-way centerline alignment.
• Legal descriptions and exhibits on four parcels are for right-of-way acquisition and TCEs.
• Legal descriptions and exhibit for TCE’s for an additional separate four parcels
