NEW BUSINESS
Resolution setting a Public Hearing for the Assumption of the Transportation Benefit
District (TBD) by the City.
City Administrator Paul Ellis reviewed the request to set a public hearing for the Council to
consider assumption of the Transportation Benefit District (TBD). In 2013, the Arlington
City Council adopted Ordinance 2013‐005 establishing a transportation benefit district for
the purpose of funding pavement preservation. 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.
Discussion followed. Mayor Pro Tem Marilyn Oertle moved and Councilmember Mike
Hopson seconded the motion to approve the proposed resolution setting a public hearing
regarding the City's intended assumption of the Arlington Transportation Benefit District
retroactive to January 1, 2018, pursuant to the authority of RCW 36.74.010. The motion
passed unanimously.
Airport Commission Appointment
City Administrator Paul Ellis reviewed the process for selection of a new Airport
Commissioner to replace William Jensen, who passed away suddenly in August. The Airport
Commissioner Selection Committee interviewed four candidates for the open position. One
of those interviewees lives just outside the city limits and was disqualified. The committee
recommends Chris Raezer to fill the vacant position on the Airport Commission. Discussion
followed. Councilmember Jan Schuette moved and Councilmember Jesica Stickles seconded
the motion to appoint Chris Raezer to fill the vacant position on the Airport Commission.
The motion passed unanimously.
ADMINISTRATOR & STAFF REPORTS
Councilmember Jan Schuette gave a brief report on the PSRC Growth Management Policy
Board decision last Thursday to move the regional centers criteria, including the criteria
for manufacturing industrial centers, to the PSRC Executive Board for final approval.
City Administrator Paul Ellis distributed the retreat notebooks for the March Council
retreat. He briefly polled the Council regarding the Friday start time for the retreat. Council
consensus was they could start as early as 1:00 p.m.

Each party agrees to be responsible and assume tort liability for its own wrongful acts or omissions,
or those of its officers, agents, or employees to the fullest extent required by law, and agrees to
save, indemnify, defend and hold the other party harmless from any such tort liability. In the case
of negligence or wrongful acts by both SAN JUAN COUNTY and the CITY OF ARLINGTON,
any damages allowed shall be levied in proportion to the percentage of fault attributable to each
party, and each party shall have the right to seek contribution from the other party in proportion of
the percentage of negligence attributable to the other party.
The CITY OF ARLINGTON shall also indemnify SAN JUAN COUNTY against all liability and
loss in connection with, and shall assume full responsibility for, payment of all federal, state and

as an additional insured, and shall not be reduced or cancelled without thirty (30)
days prior written notice to SAN JUAN COUNTY.
Page 3 of 7
2. Each insurance shall be endorsed to include language containing a “cross liability”
or “separation of insureds” indicating essentially that except with respect to the

part to the first named insured, this insurance applies as if each named insured were
the only named insured, and separately to each insured against whom a claim is
made or a suit is brought. Any payment of a deductible or self-insured retention

provide a duplicate (photocopy) of each insurance policy and endorsements noted above and the
name, address and telephone number of the broker who issued each one as evidence of coverage.
Approval of insurance is a condition precedent to full execution, including continued
compensation, of this Agreement. The maintenance of said insurance will not in any manner affect
the CITY OF ARLINGTON'S obligation to hold harmless and indemnify SAN JUAN COUNTY
as provided in this Agreement.

sufficiently and properly reflect all work related to the performance of the Agreement. In addition,

Agreement.
B. The CITY OF ARLINGTON shall retain all books, records, documents and other material
relevant to this Agreement for six (6) years after its expiration. The CITY OF ARLINGTON
agrees that SAN JUAN COUNTY or its designee shall have full access and right to examine any
of said materials at all reasonable times during said period.
8. EXTRA WORK
A. SAN JUAN COUNTY may at any time, by written order, make changes within the general
scope of the Agreement in the services to be performed.
B. If any such change causes an increase or decrease in the estimated cost of, or the time
required for performance of any part of the work under this Agreement, whether or not changed
by the order, or otherwise affects any other terms and conditions of the Agreement, SAN JUAN
Page 4 of 7
COUNTY shall make an equitable adjustment in the (1) maximum amount payable; (2) delivery

incurred to the date of termination. Within thirty (30) days, the CITY OF ARLINGTON shall
submit a termination claim to SAN JUAN COUNTY. If the CITY OF ARLINGTON has any

account for the same, and dispose of it in the manner directed by SAN JUAN COUNTY.
B. Termination for Cause. If the CITY OF ARLINGTON fails to perform in the manner
called for in this Agreement, or if the CITY OF ARLINGTON fails to comply with any other
provisions of the Agreement and fails to correct such noncompliance within five (5) days written
notice thereof, SAN JUAN COUNTY may terminate this Agreement for cause. Termination shall

Inter‐fund Loan from Growth Fund to EMS Fund

Loan Worksheet – Exhibit 1
DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN
Finance: Kristin Garcia, Finance Director 360‐403‐3431
EXPENDITURES REQUESTED: Up to $223,915
BUDGET CATEGORY: Growth Fund
BUDGETED AMOUNT: $223,915
LEGAL REVIEW:
DESCRIPTION:
As of January 31, 2018, the EMS Fund does not have sufficient revenue to cover operating expenses.
An inter‐fund loan of $140,000 is required to bring the fund balance to zero. This new loan will bring
the total outstanding balance up to $166,000. Additionally, based on cash flow, I fully anticipate the
EMS Fund requiring a loan in February and March. The budget reflects an inter‐fund loan totaling
$223,915. The finance director is requesting council approval to allow the issuance of loans (as
needed) up to the amount authorized in the budget. If the EMS Fund requires a loan amount that
exceeds the budget, the item will be brought back to council for further approval. Continued
discussions on EMS funding challenges and revenue options will be presented to council at the
upcoming retreat.
HISTORY:
The previous outstanding loan from 2017 has not been fully repaid. The outstanding balance on the
2017 loan is $26,000.
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, as needed, from the Growth Fund
to the EMS Fund up to $223,915.

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:
I move to approve the proposed ordinance assuming the rights, powers, functions and obligations of
the Arlington Transportation Benefit District, retroactively to January 1, 2018.

MEMORANDOM OF UNDERSTANDING
January 2, 2018
In accordance with the FY2017 FEMA FUNDING OPPORTUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT (FOA), all agencies within a Regional
AFG ( Assistance to Firefighters Grant ) grant request are required to show evidence of - and enter into - an MOU
agreement. This AFG grant request will be submitted during the open grant period during the month of January, 2018.
Camano Island Fire & Rescue will serve as the lead agency in applying for and administering a FY2017 AFG grant
application to purchase new, NFPA compliant, SCBA Equipment. The AFG grant funds requested will be utilized to
acquire new SCBA equipment, providing for paramount firefighter safety while engaged in life vital saving fire
suppression actions, using like-and-similar SCBA equipment for maximum fire scene effectiveness among our local
mutual aid fire service responders and grant partners; Camano Island Fire & Rescue, the North County Regional Fire
Authority and the city of Arlington Fire Department in their entirety.
The newly acquired NFPA compliant SCBA equipment will provide for proper firefighter safety upon the fireground. The
new SCBA equipment and shared maintenance service components will be distributed and assigned equally between the
North County Regional Fire Authority, Camano Island Fire and Rescue, and the Arlington Fire Department.
The Regional AFG grant program requires a 10% matching funds investment by all participating grant partners. The fire
agencies listed herein agree to equally share and pay their proportionate share of the required matching grant funds for
this equipment. This cast share amount will be determined by the total cost of the purchase of the new SCBA
equipment and supporting components. The approximate and average grant match costs per agency will be near
$40,000 each for both CIFR and NCRFA, and near $18,000 for AFD. This final cost match figure may be reduced,
depending upon the final authorized AFG grant award distribution – or equipment count reduction – to the participating
agencies.
Upon award the entire grant funding amount provided from any AFG FEMA award received will be expended to
purchase and equip each agency with vitally needed modern, and NFPA compliant, SCBA equipment which is both
federally and state required to conduct fire suppression actions. The SCBA equipment will be assigned to our collective
fire station facilities and service response areas located in both Island and Snohomish Counties, in Washington state.
Although our field response patterns remain seamless, our agencies will each maintain individual inventory asset control
and general responsibility for any loss, repair, and / or maintenance of the allocated and assigned SCBA equipment
amongst our respective grant partner agencies and according to their geographical locale and jurisdictionally defined
response service areas. The anticipated life span of this equipment is anticipated to be 10-12 years of service.
The participating grant partner agencies are:

DESCRIPTION:
The City Council previously declared Building 57B at the Airport to be surplus and issued an RFP to
consider potentials sales of the building. Two proposers submitted responses. KVA Electric, Inc.
submitted a proposal to purchase the building for $247,239.00 and to make improvements totaling

HANGAR 57B PROPOSAL
Dave introduced Steve Peiffle, City Attorney, who spoke to the Points of Order. Mr. Peiffle
explained that the Request for Proposal for Hangar 57B set out certain criteria that must be met with
the proposal. He also stated that one of the proposers has additional information that they would
like the Commission to review before a final decision is made. Mr. Peiffle explained that the
Commission could accept the additional information, but must give the other proposer the
opportunity to respond with their own additional information. After discussion, the Commission
decided not to accept any further information from the proposers.
Dave then addressed the Commission stating that the Commission held a Special Meeting on
January 30th, 2018 to discuss two proposals received by the City of Arlington for Hangar 57B
building purchase and renovation project. At that time the Commission was given a
recommendation as well as a resolution to the City Council. Airport staff can only make a
judgement based on what was actually included in the written proposal with the bid price being the
primary consideration.
A request was made to amend the resolution to show the higher dollar amount concerning the roof
replacement cost.
Motion by Commissioner Finck, seconded by Commissioner DeFreece to approve the
proposed resolution finding the KVA Electric proposal to be most responsive and request the

based on the terms of the KVA proposal. Motion carries with Commission abstaining.

changed.

Group meetings at Arlington Community Resource Center:
The meeting is an information sharing opportunity to keep groups updated on ACRC progress.
Example: Placed 14 families (42 people) into housing in seven weeks. Center has housing
navigator, mental health counselor and many resources to offer in coordinated service. Center
is now the triage point for the Arlington Ministerial Association: Churches refer a resident to
the Center for services. The Center triages the situation, and then calls the church for funding.
This system makes the Center the hub for coordinated human services, and keeps the churches
actively involved in outreach.
Triennial meetings for all human service providers:
All interested parties in human resource service provision to be invited including non‐profits,
churches, health care, mental health, county and state services. First meeting, in March, is to
spread knowledge of who is doing what. Questionnaire to be returned prior to first meeting
will include:
What do you do? What are your access points? What are your obstacles/challenges?
What population do you serve? How accessible are you—how long is the wait to use
your services?
Second meeting will be to identify gaps and overlaps, and brainstorm solutions. Third meeting
will be to summarize progress made, and focus on what’s next.
Summary: coordinate all human service activities into pursuing the common goal of reducing
poverty and its related symptoms of homelessness and substance abuse.

City of Arlington policy for use of Snohomish County First Responder Flex Fund
1. City of Arlington has designated Arlington Fire Department as the primary distributor of
Snohomish County First Responder Flex Fund. Arlington Police Department first responders may
access the fund by coordinating with Arlington Fire first responders.
2. Funds may be used to procure goods and/or services directly related to the needs of individuals
or households, which cannot be met through existing categorical services or formal and informal
community mechanisms. Examples of such purchases may include, but are not limited to,
shelter, food, clothing, medical care, transportation, or other basic needs. Note, however, that
food is not allowed under City policy for purchase on p‐card. Fire Administration will provide
$20 Safeway gift cards as needed. Flex funds may not be paid directly to any individual receiving
assistance. Funds may not be used to purchase alcohol, tobacco or marijuana products.
3. All funds used require approval of Fire Administration.
4. Purchase card receipts and narrative justifying expenditure are due to Finance within 24 hours
of incident, or as soon as reasonably possible. Example of narrative supporting expenditure:
“First responders were able to assist a family who was found walking on the street with a
newborn baby after being newly discharged from the hospital after the mom had a c‐section.
The family had nowhere to go and their family network was in another state. Law enforcement
staff were able to secure a motel for several nights; food, clothing, and diapers, a meal at a
restaurant, and bus fare to reunite with family”.
5. Finance will submit monthly invoices to Snohomish County for reimbursement of all First
Responder Flex Fund disbursements.
6. Finance will provide Fire Administration a monthly accounting on remaining fund available and
of any unreimbursed expenditure.
7. Guidelines for use of First Responders Flex Fund:
a. Priority for Flex Funds will be given to individuals or households that are imminently or
literally homeless, or who are in a situation lacking critical basic needs. Examples include
seniors in need of emergency care, or an individual fleeing domestic violence. An example
of inappropriate use of the Flex Fund is to purchase a cup of coffee for an individual with no
other known needs.
b. Flex Funds are only for use when no other local resources are available. In Arlington, those
resources would be the Arlington Community Resource Center, or when weather conditions
permit, the Emergency Cold Weather Shelter.
