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. ALTERNATIVES Presentation only.

City of Arlington Council Agenda Bill Item: WS #4 Attachment D COUNCIL MEETING DATE: January 22, 2018 SUBJECT: Ordinance of the City of Arlington assuming the Transportation Benefit District ATTACHMENTS: An Ordinance regarding the assumption of the TBD A Resolution setting the public hearing regarding assumption of the TBD DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN Administration; Paul Ellis – City Administrator 360‐403‐4603 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.

REVIEW: DESCRIPTION: The Airport Commissioner Selection Committee interviewed four candidates for the open position on the Airport Commission. One of those interviewees lived just outside the city limits and was disqualified. Each candidate was asked the same series of questions by the panel. After discussion of the candidates’ experience and qualifications, it was clear that former City Council member Chris Raezer had the most experience and was the best choice for the position. HISTORY: A position on the Airport Commission became vacant in August 2017, when Commissioner William Jensen passed away suddenly. ALTERNATIVES: Remand to staff for further information. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Workshop; discussion only. At the February 5, 2018 council meeting, the recommended motion will be, “I move to appoint Chris Raezer to fill the vacant position on the Airport Commission.” Chris Raezer ✔ .January 7, 2018 (Attach page for additional space) 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.
