DESCRIPTION:
Staff is proposing that a portion of the proceeds from the sale be used to relocate the community
garden (NOT TO EXCEED $31,000), purchase a storage building for Friends of the Library use, (NOT
TO EXCEED $7,500), and additional parking at Arlington Library (NOT TO EXCEED $6,000).
HISTORY:
Council approved the sale of the properties October 15. The four lots on Washington between 1st and
2nd Street were surplussed by City Council and listed for sale with Keller Williams. The property was
offered for sale for $800,000. The City received one offer from DGM Partners, LLC for the full sale
price. The buyer deposited $80,000 in earnest money with the closing agent.

DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN
Fire and EMS
EXPENDITURES REQUESTED: Vacant position in fire administration
BUDGET CATEGORY:
BUDGETED AMOUNT: Not budgeted, grant funded
LEGAL REVIEW:
DESCRIPTION:
Council is asked to consider a request to enter an interlocal agreement with North County Regional Fire
Authority for shared services. Each agency currently has the need for a Fire Marshal and Medical Services
Administrator, but lacks the workload and funding to fill those roles on a fulltime basis. This is a creative way
to fill the vacancies in an affordable manner to each agency. The two individuals will work across our agency
borders.
HISTORY:
In 2015, the fire department eliminated the Medical Services Administrator position to meet budgetary
shortfalls. A portion of that work was shifted to three Medical Service Officers on each of the three fire shifts.
In June 2017, Deputy Chief Cooper retired after 26 years of service to the City. In October 2017, the City
entered a personal services contract with Chief Cooper to work up to 20 hours per week to perform the duties
of the Fire Marshal. That agreement sunsets December 31, 2018. This ILA is multi‐faceted, filling both the
Assistant Chief/MSA and Assistant Chief/Fire Marshal role in both agencies. Chief Cooper will remain in a
limited capacity to train the new Fire Marshal on plan reviews, code specific data, and help transition
relationships with contacts. These discussions began at the request of the Mayor, to determine if
opportunities existed for partnerships, after the RFA discussions with Marysville ended.
ALTERNATIVES:
1) Take no action; 2) Fill both positions independently; 3) Hire the MSA and contract out Fire Marshal duties.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
I move to approve the Interlocal Agreement with North County Regional Fire Authority for Fire and
Emergency Medical Services, and authorize the Mayor to sign it.

CITY OF ARLINGTON
This is a binding Agreement entered into by and between the State of Washington, Department of Ecology, hereinafter
referred to as “ECOLOGY” and the City of Arlington, hereinafter referred to as the "RECIPIENT" to carry out with the
provided funds activities described herein.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Project Title: High Efficiency Street Sweeper
Total Cost: $350,000.00
Total Eligible Cost: $350,000.00
Ecology Share: $262,500.00
Recipient Share: $87,500.00
The Effective Date of this Agreement is: 7/01/2018
The Expiration Date of this Agreement is no later than: 6/30/2020
Project Type: Stormwater Activity
Project Short Description:
This project will help prevent total suspended solids (TSS) from entering the Stillaguamish River and its local tributaries
including March, Portage and Prairie Creeks, and tributaries in the Snohomish River Lower Basin, including Edgecombe,
Heyho and Quilceda Creeks, by removing pollutants from the stormwater system and providing pollutant source control
through the purchase, operation and maintenance of a high efficiency street-sweeper in the City of Arlington.
Project Long Description:
This project will improve water quality and reduce total suspended solids (TSS) in stormwater entering the Stillaguamish
River and its local tributaries including March, Portage and Prairie Creeks, and tributaries in the Snohomish River Lower
Basin, including Edgecombe, Heyho and Quilceda Creeks. Through the purchase, operation and maintenance of a high
efficiency street-sweeper, pollutants will be removed from the stormwater system and provide pollutant source control.
In addition, utilizing a high efficiency street sweeper will benefit other areas of Arlington where LID BMPs provide

Project Title: Street Sweeping Program
Recipient Name: City of Arlington
drainage control and water treatment for infiltrated waters. This will extend the life of green stormwater infrastructure
and improve the treatment function of these BMPs. Greater capture of the debris, sediment, fines and dust from the
Arlington roadways through the use of a high efficiency street sweeper will improve water quality of the Stillaguamish
River and Snohomish River Lower Tributaries Basins.
Both of the affected Stillaguamish and Snohomish basins are under TMDL plans. There are over 286 acres of impervious
area in the City’s “Old Town” district that drains into a stormwater system in the Stillaguamish River or one of its
tributaries, and over 500 acres of residential and industrial impervious area that drains to the Snohomish River Lower
Tributaries basin and impacts one or more of its tributaries. The City’s Public Works Department operates a street
sweeping program and is implemented across the entire City. Currently, the mechanical broom sweeper captures and
collects approximately 211 tons of aggregate material (sand, particulates, fines, dust, etc.) as part of its street sweeping
program. High efficiency street sweepers have a much higher capture rate for the small particulates and “fines” that are
most damaging to waters. It is estimated that the use of a high efficiency sweeper will increase the capture rate by
approximately 45% (306 tons) using the same street sweeping program with no change to routes and days.
Overall Goal:
This project will help protect and restore water quality in Washington by reducing stormwater impacts from existing
infrastructure and development.
Commented [DSD1]: Will both technologies be used under the
program? For example, tandem sweeping?
Commented [JJ(2]: I think we can delete this, since we don’t
know it’s true or not.
Commented [DSD3]: I believe they are to indicate the water
quality improvement; no?
Commented [JJ(4]: I was thinking those number are too
specific, and we should have a approximate numbers.

RECIPIENT irrevocably pledges to include in its budget and levy taxes annually within the constitutional and statutory tax
limitations provided by law without a vote of its electors on all of the taxable property within the boundaries of the
RECIPIENT in an amount sufficient, together with other money legally available and to be used therefore, to pay when
due the principal of and interest on the loan, and the full faith, credit and resources of the RECIPIENT are pledged
