October 1, 2016 Retreat Follow‐up
On October 1, 2016, the council held a retreat to review and discuss the first draft of the preliminary
budget. As a result of the retreat, there are a few items that need follow up;
1. A question in regard to the general fund’s debt as a percentage of budget.
In the 2017‐2018 budget, the general fund’s debt as a percentage of budget is 8%.
2. A question in regard to when our franchise agreements expire.
The City has a franchise agreement with Comcast that expires in 2019 and Wave Broadband
that expires in 2024.
3. A request for work plans for city properties, the sidewalk and trail maintenance programs.
A work plan for city properties will be discussed at the next council retreat in April 2017. A
work plan is being developed for sidewalk and trail maintenance and will be shared in the
monthly department report.
4. Use of discretionary funding.
The council was provided a list of additional budget items for consideration in the budget if
discretionary funding were available. After reviewing the budget and verifying the one
month operating reserve policy will be met, it was determined we could add the following
items into the 2017‐2018 budget;

each project are received. The scope of work for each project will be developed with the
intent to maximize the funding available to spend.

LEGAL REVIEW:
DESCRIPTION:
The Council is asked to authorize the City Attorney to file a lawsuit to compel the
clean-up of a property at Smokey Point.
HISTORY:
The City has attempted to work with a property owner, Patrick Fralick, regarding his
property at Smokey Point located at 3728 176th Pl NE. Mr. Fralick’s property has
been a regular source of complaints; the attached photos explain why. We sent him a
Notice of Violation originally in March of 2013 and another in 2015. The City
Attorney revised the Notice of Violation to fix technical errors and it was resent in
August. There has been no meaningful activity in response. Compelling a clean-up
may require obtaining a warrant from the superior court so that we can enter and do
the clean-up and charge the costs to the property.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Continue administrative efforts at securing compliance.
2. Take no action.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Workshop; discussion only.
