DESCRIPTION:
67th Avenue medians re‐construction of landscape began the week of January 8, when
Maintenance and Operations crews began excavating soil to prepare for installation of
irrigation lines and new landscape materials. The new design was developed from
team collaboration with the Planning Department, Maintenance and Operations, Public
Works Engineering, and Community Revitalization, with input from Gleneagle
Homeowners Association landscape committee. The design was developed with
sustainability goals as well as the importance of aesthetics at gateway and business
corridors. The design includes river rock sections and areas of small trees and shrubs.
These medias will be a test to see if using river rock is a preferred design standard for
future medias. The project will take several weeks and the public should expect some
traffic delays. The project is funded through the maintenance and operations budget.
There are 7 medians. HISTORY:
The 67th Avenue median plant material died during the drought of summer 2017.

EXPENDITURES REQUESTED: N/A
BUDGET CATEGORY: N/A
BUDGETED AMOUNT: N/A
LEGAL REVIEW:
DESCRIPTION:
RCW Chapter 36.74 authorizes any city with a transportation benefit district (TBD) to assume the
rights, powers, functions and obligations of the TBD by adoption of an ordinance. The city must also
hold a public hearing to allow for public comment regarding the assumption of the TBD by the city. If
the ordinance is approved, the TBD would be assumed effective January 1, 2018. The TBD is currently
functioning as its own separate entity which requires a separate financial report, budget document,
claims approval process and a separate audit. Having the city assume the TBD, it will streamline all
these processes into the city’s regular course of business. The way the TBD is accounted for and the
use of funds will not change. The TBD revenues and expenditures will be accounted for in a separate
fund and revenues will still be used for pavement preservation projects in accordance with the work
plan that was established when the TBD was created.
HISTORY:
In 2013, the Arlington City Council adopted Ordinance 2013‐005 establishing a transportation
benefit district for the purpose of funding pavement preservation.
ALTERNATIVES:
Do not assume the transportation benefit district into city operations.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Workshop; discussion only.

I care a great deal about the future of the Arlington Airport. It is the premier General Aviation
airport in the Northwest and an economic engine for Arlington. I believe my aviation knowledge
as a licensed private pilot and experience gained serving 12 years on the Arlington City
Council will help me be an effective Airport Commissioner.
