clearly and legitimately limited to a single source of supply. Staff is requesting council to
approve the resolution allowing the bid requirements to be waived for the purchase of new and
replacement water meters and appurtenances.

BUDGET CATEGORY: N/A
LEGAL REVIEW:
DESCRIPTION:
Ordinance XXX will eliminate left hand turns from 172nd Street into the Weston School and the
Stillaguamish Athletic Club access driveway and restrict turning movements from the access drive
onto 172nd St to right in and right out only.
HISTORY:
Due to heavy traffic congestion on 172nd St (SR‐531) and the high number of accidents at the access
drive to Weston School and the Stillaguamish Athletic Club, the City has worked with WSDOT to
prohibit left turn movements into the access drive. Since this state route is part of a City street, the
City must provide an ordinance restricting the turning movements at milepost 7.3 on SR‐531 before
WSDOT can erect the appropriate signage. This change will effectively prohibit all vehicle left turn
movements into or out of the property and reduce traffic accidents and congestion at this location.
ALTERNATIVES
- Remand to Staff for reconsideration
- Do not Install Right Turn Restriction
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
I move to approve the proposed ordinance prohibiting left hand turns on east bound SR‐531 at mile
marker 7.3 and restricting turns in to and out of the drive access located on the north side of SR‐531
mile post 7.3 to right‐in and right‐out only.

BOD (biochemical oxygen demand) loading and TSS (total suspended solids)
loading, based upon the average BOD, TSS and other parameter(s) concentrations (as
established by the public works director) monitored for the industrial user and the
flow recorded in the monitoring manhole or water use.
(2) A minimum monthly charge will be established by the city to cover the basic
sewer costs and monitoring of the industrial user's wastewater discharge, and in the
event the monthly sewer bill does not exceed this amount the industrial user shall
agree to pay the estimated minimum monthly charge. This charge shall be reviewed
from time to time and adjusted to ensure the charge is covering the monitoring
services and sewer costs provided and must be reviewed every two years. Initially,
the monthly charges shall be based on the following, unless otherwise established in
the negotiated discharge permit:
ORDINANCE 20176-XXX 4
(A) For an industrial user with waste strength less than two hundred fifty mg/l,
measured as five-day BOD and TSS, and other parameters within limits established in

Tacoma-Bremerton area for All Urban Consumers, or other measure commonly used
by the city should it change; provided, however, that notwithstanding any reduction in
the CPI, rates shall not decrease.
(4) Flow shall be based upon one hundred percent of the water consumption or rate
of flow of wastewater discharge into the sewer (measured in an industrial user
installed flow measurement and recording equipment installed in control manhole,
pursuant to Chapter 13.36 of the Arlington Municipal Code). Strength of wastewater
discharged shall be established based upon twenty-four-hour composite samples
made by the city at the control manhole and tested by the city's wastewater treatment
plant laboratory or state certified testing laboratory. All testing shall be in accordance
with the latest edition of "Standard Methods for Examination of Water and
Wastewater," APHA, AWWA and WPCF. BOD and TSS, pounds per day, shall be
calculated based upon concentration of composite samples and established flow rates.
(5) Appeal.
(A) If any user believes that a portion of the user's metered flow, larger than ten
percent, is not discharged into the sewer system (when flow measurement is not
provided in the control manhole), the user should make written application to the
public works director for review of the user's flow of wastewater. If the public works
director agrees that charges for the user should be adjusted, they shall so notify the
city council, which may approve such change, or direct a recomputation of the user's
sewer rates.
(B) If the public works director does not agree to the adjustment of user charges, the
user may further appeal to the city council, which may direct further study or take
other appropriate action.

that no annual increase shall exceed two percent; and provided further, that
