COUNCIL MEETING DATE: April 3, 2017 SUBJECT: Airport Commission Reappointments ATTACHMENTS: Redacted applications of Ruth Gonzales and Austin DeFreece DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN Airport EXPENDITURES REQUESTED: None BUDGET CATEGORY: N/A LEGAL REVIEW: DESCRIPTION: The Arlington Municipal Airport staff and Commissioner Selection Committee recommends the reappointments of Ruth Gonzales and Austin DeFreece to the Airport Commission. HISTORY: Commissioner DeFreece served a partial term when Commissioner Mike Hopson was elected to City Council and left the Airport Commission. Commissioner Gonzales has served two terms. She served on the Planning Commission prior to serving on the Airport Commission. ALTERNATIVES Table the recommendations until a later date. RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move to reappoint Ruth Gonzales and Austin DeFreece to the Airport Commission. APPLICATION FOR BOARDS & COMMISSIONS Name Ruth E Gonzales Address* Phone (home)Phone (work) E-mail address I am interested in serving on the following Boards and Commissions (check all that apply) Airport Commission Civil Service Commission Parks, Arts, and Recreation Commission Cemetery Board Library Board Planning Commission Lodging Tax Advisory Committee Citizens Salary Commission Background/Experience/Interest I am currently serving as an Airport Commissioner and would like to renew my position. Background in Architecture and Planning. Served as as Planning Commissioner for the City of Arington for 13 years. Received 3/12/2014 Date: Austin DeFreece ✔ 11/25/2015 (Attach page for additional space) I have just completed my service on the Arlington City Council where I was appointed to finish the remaining term that was left by the passing of Dick Butner. It was an amazing experience and better than I anticipated. I would like to continue to serve and stay involved in Arlington city government. The opportunity on the airport commission is one that I feel that I am uniquely qualified to fill. In addition to serving on the city council, I am an attorney with HTC corporation in Seattle. I have been a corporate attorney for over 7 years. My experience includes the drafting, review, and negotiation of commercial contracts including leases, business contracts, and other legal documents. Prior to joining HTC, I have served as a corporate attorney at Avanade (a joint venture between Microsoft and Accenture), Honeywell, and Intermec. Before I became an attorney, I worked for Parker Hannifin in aerospace and manufacturing, as well as VWR Scientific, Consolidated Metco, and WaferTech ( a subsidiary of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation). The pre-attorney positions were in supply chain and operations management. This gave me hands on experience to understand the manufacturing and financial expertise that I would believe would also add value to the commission, combined with my legal and city council experience. I believe strongly in volunteering and public service. In addition to my involvement with the Arlington City Council, I am also a member of Immaculate Conception Catholic Church here in Arlington as well as a member of Cascade Bicycle Club. I would be honored to serve on the commission and help to work through the complex issues that face the commission. I believe I have an excellent working relationship with City Staff and the current City Council. Please consider my application for this tremendous opportunity. City of Arlington Council Agenda Bill Item: CA #4 Attachment C COUNCIL MEETING DATE: April 3, 2017 SUBJECT: Apparent low bid for the Lift Station #2 Rehabilitation Project ATTACHMENTS: Bid Tab from bid opening DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN Public Works – Jim Kelly EXPENDITURES REQUESTED: $ 832,111.16 (Apparent Low Bid) BUDGET CATEGORY: Sewer Capital Funds LEGAL REVIEW: DESCRIPTION: Review of preliminary bid tabulation for the Lift Station #2 Rehabilitation Project. HISTORY: As Arlington continues to expand, infrastructure improvements are required to provide reliable public service to the Arlington community. Lift Station #2 (LS‐02), located in the Kent Prairie growth focus area, is operating at very close to maximum capacity and needs to be upgraded in in order to accommodate the planned growth. The City of Arlington Public Works included plans for this expansion in the 2015 Sewer Comprehensive Plan. Design was completed in 2016 and construction is budgeted for in 2017. The proposed expansion work includes rehabilitation of LS‐02 submersible pumps, emergency power generation and power and control system. The range for the estimated construction cost was $750,000 to $900,000. The 2017 Lift Station #2 Rehabilitation Project was recently advertised for construction and bids were opened on Tuesday March, 21st. Seven (7) bid packages were received and the apparent low bid is from Equity Builders LLC. ALTERNATIVES Reject bid, re‐advertise the project Remand to staff for further evaluation RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move to award the Lift Station #2 Rehabilitation Project to Equity Builders LLC and authorize the Mayor to sign the Construction Contract, pending review by the City Attorney.

Eliminating the violations bureau will send all notices of infractions (Traffic Tickets) directly to the Marysville Court for payment and processing. HISTORY: The City adopted the violations bureau under RCW 3.30.090 roughly five years ago. In that time frame things have changed within the CJS (Criminal Justice System) with the implementation of SECTOR (WA State Patrol‐ Notice Of Infraction (NOI) Database) and DOL (Department of Licensing) Citations currently held for 14 days delays notification to DOL on any possible revocations and also removes the 14 day window in which the court is authorized to enter into a payment plan with an individual. It is more time consuming and costly on the part of records staff and the court staff to process these citations as they have to be manually entered and processed versus electronically populating in the system. The Court has enhanced their customer service capabilities in many ways over this time period as well allowing payment by phone, mail, in‐person and will begin be accepting online payment this quarter. ALTERNATIVES Keep the violations bureau and disregard the courts recommendation to cancel this action. Knowing that keeping the violations bureau in place will not allow for payment arrangements to be made with the court and will also be more of a burden to staff. It will also leave the city open to civil liabilities should a citation be paid and the court not notified whereby inadvertently causing a license suspension to happen for a FTP (Failure to Pay) on the citation. RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move to approve the ordinance to repeal AMC 2.28 eliminating the Arlington Violations Bureau, and authorize the Mayor to sign it. ORDINANCE NO. 2017‐XXX     Page 1 of 2   ORDINANCE NO.  2017‐‐XXX        AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ARLINGTON, WASHINGTON  REPEALING ARLINGTON MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 2.28    REGARDING THE TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS BUREAU       WHEREAS, the City of Arlington, Washington has the authority to enact laws to promote  the efficient administration of business within the City; and    WHEREAS, provisions of the Arlington Municipal Code which established a traffic  violations bureau in order to relieve court burdens are outdated and require revision; and    WHEREAS, the City Council believes that functions currently handled by the Finance  Department can more efficiently be completed by the Court;    WHEREAS, the City Council wishes to repeal Chapter 2.28 of the Arlington Municipal  Code which created a traffic violations bureau within the Finance Department;     NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Arlington do hereby ordain as follows:    Section 1.   Arlington Municipal Code Chapter 2.28 shall be and hereby is repealed in its  entirety.

___________________________                                            Steven J. Peiffle  City Attorney  ARLINGTON POLICE DEPARTMENT  INTRADEPARTMENTAL MEMORANDUM        DATE: March 11, 2017    TO: Jonathan Ventura, Chief     FROM: Daniel Cone, Deputy Chief     SUBJECT: Arlington Violations Bureau  _________________________________________          ________________________    PURPOSE:    To examine current and historic service level for the Arlington Violations Bureau and make  recommendations for streamlining the process.    FACTS:    The City of Arlington formed the violations bureau during the transition from Snohomish County  District Court to Marysville Municipal Court. The theory behind having a violations bureau locally  would provide better customer service for the citizens who simply wanted to pay the fine listed  on their civil infraction instead of having to drive to Marysville.     ANALYSIS:    With the recent SECTOR upgrade and associated changes in the program format, the inability to  search their database specifically for tickets issued via TVB has impacted the amount of staff  time needed to process the tickets.  Prior to the change, one finance technician could process  each ticket within reasonable amount of time.  After the upgrade, it is necessary for either the  issuing officer or police records staff to identify which tickets are meant for TVB, process them  separately from the court‐bound tickets, and deliver them to finance for further processing.   The additional processing is expected to add between 5‐10 minutes of staff time for each ticket.   In contrast, tickets that are bound for the court are sent automatically via SECTOR without  additional city staff time.    All tickets that are not paid directly to TVB are sent to court and incur a court filing fee of $46  (2016). For 2016, there were 924 infractions issued by APD officers using SECTOR.  Of the 447  that were sent to the Traffic Violations Bureau (TVB) for processing by finance staff, 100 were  paid to TVB.  The decreasing trend of tickets written through TVB along with the additional staff  time and separate handling needed after the upgrade appear to reduce the degree of savings  from eliminating the court fee.          RECOMMENDATION:    The change in Sector has limited the ability for City of Arlington employees to provide excellent  customer service.  Without the ability to quickly process tickets customers are required to wait  significantly longer to settle their fine. New technology acquired by Marysville Municipal Court,  customers will be able pay their ticket via internet, phone, and in person.  With the ability to  pay tickets online customers will be able to easily and quickly settle their fine without leaving  the comfort of their home.  This will save our customers not only time but money as they will  not have to drive to a physical location.  If the customer chooses to drive to a physical location  the Marysville Municipal Court is 11 miles from Arlington City Hall. Modern vehicles have  increasingly efficient gas mileage costing most motorist less than a gallon of gas.  I recommend  eliminating the Arlington Violation Bureau and transition to routing infractions directly to  Marysville Municipal Court.     Respectfully submitted,            Daniel Cone  Deputy Chief of Police

Arlington Council Agenda Bill Item: NB #2 Attachment G COUNCIL MEETING DATE: April 3, 2017 SUBJECT: Inter‐fund Loan from Growth Fund to EMS Fund ATTACHMENTS: Loan Worksheet – Exhibit 1 DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN Finance – Kristin Garcia, Finance Director 360‐403‐3431 EXPENDITURES REQUESTED: $143,598 BUDGET CATEGORY: Growth Fund LEGAL REVIEW: DESCRIPTION: As of February 28, 2017, the EMS Fund required a second inter‐fund loan in the amount of $143,598. This brings the total amount outstanding on the loan to $216,489. The EMS Fund budgeted a total loan amount of $185,975. Total interest accrued to date is $38.29. As of February, the LGIP interest rate is .6303%. HISTORY: Previous outstanding loans from 2015 and 2016 were paid in full by December 31, 2016. ALTERNATIVES Do not approve the inter‐fund loan and allow the fund to be negative. This could violate RCW 43.09.210 which states that no fund should unfairly benefit from another. RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move to authorize the finance director to take an inter‐fund loan from the Growth Fund to the EMS Fund for $143,598. 2017 Interfund Loans Exhibit 1   Interest to be repaid at the Local Government Investment Pool monthly rat   FROM:Principal Growth Fund Interest Interest Payments Loan  TO:Date Loan Amount Rate Charges Interest Principal Balance EMS Fund 1/31/2017 72,891.00$      ‐$              ‐$                ‐$                72,891.00$     2/28/2017 143,598.00$  0.006303 38.29$          ‐                 ‐                 216,489.00     3/31/2017 ‐$              ‐                 ‐                 216,489.00     4/30/2017 ‐$             216,489.00     5/31/2017 ‐$              ‐                216,489.00     6/30/2017 ‐                   ‐$              ‐                216,489.00     7/31/2017 ‐$              ‐                 ‐                 216,489.00     8/31/2017 ‐$              ‐                 ‐                 216,489.00     9/30/2017 ‐$              ‐                 ‐                 216,489.00     10/31/2017 ‐$              ‐                 ‐                 216,489.00     11/30/2017 ‐$              ‐                 ‐                 216,489.00     12/31/2017 ‐$              ‐                 ‐                 216,489.00     216,489.00$  38.29$          ‐                 ‐
