Jim Barron volunteered approximately 100 hours per month for our city. He served at
northbound and southbound I‐5 rest stops and coordinated the coffee program for more

with the Boy Scouts to install the US flags at the cemetery for Memorial Day. Jim was a past
commander of the American Legion and of VFW Post 1561. Jim and his nominator, Mr. Alan

and elderly had some Christmas to celebrate. He also organized magazine drives for the VA

PUBLIC COMMENT
Mayor Tolbert invited those in attendance that wished to speak on the Stewart Rezone to
come to the podium when their name was called from the sign in sheet.
Mike Rouleau, 709 E. Highland Drive, Arlington, expressed his opposition to the proposed
Stewart Rezone. He believes there are better places in Arlington to locate such proposed
development.
Ryan Stupey, 530 E. Highland Drive, Arlington, shared that adding apartments on Highland
Drive does not fit with the character of the neighborhood. He has concerns about property
values, crime, and traffic.
Gene Chase, 21705 88th Drive NE, Arlington, complimented the Council on their efforts to
make Arlington better. He expressed his opposition to the Stewart Rezone.
Blaine Field, 606 E. Highland Drive, Arlington, noted that as the property owner within the
proposed rezone, he has signed off on the request and believes it is the best and most
valuable use for the property. He sees Arlington as a growing community with needs for a
wide variety of housing, which the rezone will provide. He further shared that only one of
the parcels is Residential Moderate Density; the other two associated with this parcel are
already zoned Residential High Density, resulting in a split zoning. He noted that the house
on the property is 105 years old and is uninhabitable.
Angie Sievers, Master Builders Association, Bellevue, provided some thoughts and
observations from the Master Builders Association. She expressed that the homework done
by staff, the Planning Commission, and the Council on the Stewart Rezone has been thorough
and thoughtful. She noted that Snohomish County is expected to grow by 200,000 people in
the next 20 years and all cities in the County are going to need to accommodate the growth
that is headed our way with a diverse stock of housing.

Margaret Larson, 514 E. Highland Drive, Arlington, expressed her concerns that she was not
aware of the rezone of the properties near her, back in 2005, and believes that the
Comprehensive Plan must be fixed before moving forward with any rezone requests.
John Lanier, 704 E. Highland Drive, Arlington, noted that the rezone will change the character
of the neighborhood and expressed his opposition.
Betsy Rouleau, 709 E. Highland Drive, Arlington, stated that the rezone is not the project to
do in a residential neighborhood, noting that the number of calls to nearby apartment
complexes were considerably higher than residences on Highland Drive. She inquired if the
prior rezone to the area was done in 1995 or 2005.
Mayor Tolbert clarified that the prior rezone was done in 2005 and those documents are
available to the public should they like to review them. She then closed the public comment
period.

DESCRIPTION:
To outline a process for verifying whether new meetings qualify for the regional payment level for
City Council and Mayor
HISTORY:
The Citizens Salary Commission in 2015 identified 11 meetings eligible to be reimbursed at the
regional payment amount. The 2017 Citizens Salary Commission did not change that list. However,
the AMC at 2.04.027(a)(2) allows for other meetings to be reimbursement given a certain set of
criteria. This process outlines how to seek approval for regional level reimbursement for meetings
not on the enumerated list.
ALTERNATIVES:
Only allow regional level reimbursement for the 11 meetings identified in 2015.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
I move to approve the process outlining how to seek approval for regional level reimbursement for
meetings not on the enumerated list, and verifying whether new meetings qualify for the regional
payment level for City Council and Mayor.

EXPENDITURES REQUESTED: $170,000
BUDGET CATEGORY: Equipment Replacement Fund
BUDGETED AMOUNT: $150,000
LEGAL REVIEW:
DESCRIPTION:
The city published an RFP on March 3, 2017 for a municipal financial management software system.
The goal was to find a comprehensive, enhanced financial system that would also incorporate the
city’s many independent systems such as; airport billing/cash receipting, cemetery, business license,
permitting, timekeeping, fixed asset management and utility asset management. After thorough
review, staff is recommending to move forward with the Caselle product. The Caselle product will
dramatically enhance our current system capabilities. A few examples include; consolidating airport
billing and cemetery on one system, better online billing data available to utility customers, the ability
to do online payments for recreation, airport, cemetery and utility customers, electronic document
management, ability to track project budgets, ability to track contract expenses, payroll and
timekeeping within the same system, employee dashboards to monitor critical data, customized
reporting capability, customization of user defined fields, 5 year budget forecasting, and budgeting for
personnel.
Staff is asking for an amount not to exceed of $170,000 broken down as follows; $140,580 as per the
proposal, $20,000 anticipated hardware needs and $9,420 contingency for unexpected costs related
to training and data conversion. The annual service fee which includes all future updates, training and
unlimited technical support will increase from what we are currently paying and will increase slightly
the following year. We are currently paying about $17,000 and expect to pay $31,000 with the new
system. We do receive a 5% discount if paid on an annual basis.
The project will be funded out of the technology equipment replacement fund. Caselle has also offered
a 3 year payment plan at no additional cost.

HISTORY:
The City has been using its current financial system (BIAS) since 2010. This system only handles
financial data (i.e. general ledger, cash receipting, payroll, accounts payable, budget and utility
billing). The City has become more sophisticated in the way it operates and technology has changed
in the past 7 years, as a result, we’ve outgrown what BIAS is capable of. Additionally, the
independent systems do not interface with our financial software which creates inefficiencies by
duplication of data entry and increases internal control risk.
ALTERNATIVES:
1) Reject all proposals
2) Publish a new Request for Proposal
3) Continue utilizing current software systems
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
I move to approve the contract with Caselle for financial management software with a project
budget not to exceed $170,000 and authorize the Mayor to sign the contact.

LEGAL REVIEW:
DESCRIPTION:
The City has determined it would be an appropriate expenditure of public funds to provide for immediate
basic needs to individuals that are addicted to opiates. Specific uses of the fund are limited to the following:
ground or air transportation to rehabilitation facility
hotel stay for the individual awaiting housing, detox or other services
a meal or groceries
to help clean clothes at the laundromat
hygiene such as a haircut and/or shower
to provide incidentals while in transition to treatment such as shoes, clothes, bedding, toiletries
Purchases for these needs will be authorized through the use of P‐cards assigned to designated individuals.
The City Administrator and/or Finance Director will approve individuals designated to use P‐cards for this
purpose. Detailed receipts, along with a Participation Intake Form, must be submitted to the Finance
Director for approval. Documentation must be submitted to the Finance department as soon as reasonably
possible after the purchase has been made. The documentation must also include a department head
signature and account code identifying the purchase is related to providing social services. Any unauthorized
use of these funds or P‐card may result in revocation of the employee's P‐card and the employee may be
subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
HISTORY:
In 2016, he Social Services Fund was unded by a gift from the Cascade Valley Health Foundation, and was
established to allow access to funds for the Arlington Police Department and/or Arlington Fire Department
to provide for immediate basic needs to opiate addicted individuals. Use of the fund is specifically designed
to fill the gap of time (typically 2‐3 days) between when the individual makes the decision to treat the
addiction to when the individual can be connected to services.
