PUBLIC HEARING
Development Agreement with Affinity at Arlington
Community and Economic Development Director Marc Hayes reviewed the proposed
Development Agreement for Affinity at Arlington LLC, Lot 1, of the Affinity at Arlington
Binding Site Plan, a Mixed Use Development, describing certain conditions and allowing for
the use of the projects traffic mitigation fees to be utilized for the construction of 169th St
NE., including intersection, signalization and frontage improvements on Smokey Point Blvd.
The public hearing was opened at 7:08 p.m. With no one wishing to speak, the public hearing
was closed at 7:08 p.m.
At this time Mr. Hayes answered Council questions.
Subarea Plan for Arlington Marysville Manufacturing Industrial Center (AMMIC)
Community and Economic Development Director Marc Hayes reviewed the Arlington‐
Marysville Manufacturing Industrial Center (AMMIC) Subarea Plan. The Plan is a
culmination of the collaborative planning efforts of both Arlington and Marysville to adopt
policies and provisions in their respective comprehensive and infrastructure functional
plans to support planned industrial growth and development of the center. The plan is in
alignment with regional plans and policies as well as compliant with the PSRC’s Regional
Center Plans Checklist.
The public hearing was opened at 7:13 p.m.
Holly Sales, 6206 188th Street NE, stated she is overwhelmed by what might happen with her
home and the Airway Mobile Home Park. If the mobile park were to sell she would not be
able to live elsewhere due to higher costs and her income level. In addition, she can’t sell her
home, or move it, because it is too old and she does not have equity. Also, she is worried
about a friend, Art, who is a veteran and lives in the park who could not come to the meeting
because he is overwhelmed by potentially losing his home. Ms. Sales also requested a copy
of a map of the AMMIC area, with the legend, that was presented at the November 26, 2018
Council Workshop.
Mayor Tolbert provided Ms. Sales with a copy of the map.

Neil Knutson, 18825 42nd Drive NE, stated he lives outside of the proposed manufacturing
area but he came for the sake of Art who lives in the Airway Mobile Home Park and is
devastated by the prospect of losing his home. In addition, he is worried about traffic
heading into Smokey Point. He understands that future jobs will be created in the
manufacturing area but he is concerned about the need, and potential locations, of future
childcare facilities. He stated Smokey Point has a large backlog of need for childcare facilities.
He believes the people who will be coming into these future jobs will need childcare and
believes the childcare facilities should be located outside of Smokey Point in order to
mitigate traffic. Mr. Knutson also stated there should be eateries included in the plan. He
recommends “mom and pop” establishments outside of the Smokey Point area to help divert
people out of Smokey Point at the height of traffic. He believes the MIC will be good for the
area but he feels for the people in the mobile home park and feels the City should give
consideration to those individuals who could potentially lose their homes in the future.
Brett Garman, 6206 188th Street NE, stated he resides with his 81 year‐old mother at the
Airway Mobile Home Park. He is concerned about the future of their home. He asked Council
what is the current zoning and could everyone be asked to leave?
Community and Economic Director Marc Hayes responded that Airway Mobile Home Park is
within the MIC and could be developed. If Airway Park were to be developed all residents
would receive a minimum of one year notice for relocation per state law and there are
potential monies to help with relocation.
Sandra Baker, 6206 188th Street NE, lives at Airway Mobile Home Park and communicated
she is very worried. She does not have money to relocate. A year is not enough time to pick
up and move. She does not believe there would be enough money given to compensate
owners for their current trailers or for them to purchase new ones. Senior apartment living
is out of reach financially to her and others. She also stated she was there for Art as well; Art
is devastated and could not make the meeting.
Holly Sales, 6206 188th Street NE, asked the Council if the residents would get money if asked
to relocate due to the property being sold or rezoned.
Mayor Tolbert responded she was not aware of the program that Community and Economic
Director Marc Hayes was referring to but will do some research about the program.
Devon Getchell, 188th Street NE, technically lives within the zoning area. She stated that she
has a special needs toddler and also lives with her mom. She and her mom live off of
disability payments. If the City were to rezone and they had to move, her and her mom would
not be able to afford to move elsewhere. There is no significant low income housing in
Arlington or Marysville. She asked the Council what help are they going to offer to the
general public who are not age 55 and up? You're not just building jobs, you're not just
demolishing homes, you're demolishing families. We’ll all live in our cars. A year’s notice is
not enough time to uproot entire life, house, family, plus save money to afford to move
somewhere else. How will you help those of us with disabilities?
Minutes of the City of Arlington City Council Meeting December 3, 2018
Page 4 of 7
Mayor Tolbert reiterated that the City can’t sell, or force an individual to sell, their property.
That is not the City’s role.
Joe Cochran, Airway Mobile Park, stated he has lived there for a dozen years. He thought he
was grandfathered in at the mobile park. He believed that the park was to be maintained
forever. He is devastated that he could be uprooted and he is too old to return to work.
Ken Linder, no address. He is connected with an organization at the Airport. He is concerned
that the MIC project might impact birds and increase the bird activity in the Airport area.
Birds are a danger for airplanes.
Community and Economic Development Director Marc Hayes stated that there are no open
bodies of water allowed within a quarter mile of the Airport, so no bird population could be
established. He also pointed out that the general industrial zoning has been in place since
2007. This is not something new that has been rezoned or created. The City is trying to get
a plan together so we can address upcoming issues. He appreciates the citizens voicing their
opinions and concerns so we can address them when creating the plan and moving forward.
Richard Nichols, Arlington Municipal Airport tenant. He sees that the plans are for
residential, commercial and industrial. He does not see any plans for the airport. He had
spent the day talking to the Washington State Department of Transportation Aviation
Division and he stated the DOT knows nothing about the City’s MIC plan. The City should be
working with DOT on these plans. He believes that there are safety hazards to aircraft, and
the airport, within the plan. The City needs to step back and decide what type of airport
Arlington wants in the future. He believes the airport is a major resource to help push
economic and population growth.
Airport Director David Ryan responded to Mr. Nichols stating that all structures built around
the airport have to be approved by the FAA; the airspace is protected. Our runway protection
zones do not allow us to have any sort of residential use in any of those areas. The town will
grow up around the airport but the 1,200 acres of airport land is protected.
The public hearing was closed at 7:36 p.m..
After the close of the public hearing Councilmember Stickles asked if the accepting of this
subarea plan is doing any type of rezoning. Mr. Hayes responded that it is not.
Councilmember Schuette asked if outlets for electrical cars would be required within the MIC
so that we can prepare for the future. Mr. Hayes responded that outlets would not be
required but that is something that should be considered in our development standards.
Councilmember Nelson asked if there is a process that the Airway Park property could be
rezoned to allow for it to stay residential? And if that rezone request is up to the City or the
property owner? Mr. Hayes responded that option would need to be initiated by the
property owner, and there is a process which would have to be followed. The City would
have to review request to see if it would work within the MIC.
Councilmember Hopson asked how many jobs would be in the MIC by 2040? Mr. Hayes
responded that the projected number of jobs is 15,532.

Mayor Tolbert thanked the citizens for coming to talk to the Council; this is how cities plan
well, we do it together.
NEW BUSINESS
Use of surplus fire department ladder funds for staff vehicle
Acting Fire Chief Dave Kraski asked the Council to consider a request to purchase an
additional staff vehicle for the Executive Analyst. This vehicle will be used during the
workday to provide transportation to the fire stations, city hall etc. Additionally it will be
used to attend regular meetings throughout the county. Councilmember Jesica Stickles
moved and Councilmember Sue Weiss seconded the motion to approve the unscheduled
purchase of a staff vehicle for the Fire Department from surplus vehicle sales proceeds. The
motion passed unanimously.
Airport Commission appointment
Airport Director David Ryan reviewed the selection of Gayle Roeber as a member of the
Airport Commission. The Airport Commission Selection Committee consisting of Council
members Jan Schuette and Jesica Stickles, Airport Commissioner Ruth Gonzales and Airport
Director David Ryan and Operations Manager Marty Wray conducted interviews of three
applicants over the past several weeks, evaluated those applicants and selected Gayle Roeber
as the next candidate to be appointed by the City Council. Councilmember Jan Schuette
moved and Councilmember Marilyn Oertle seconded the motion to appoint Gayle Roeber to
the Airport Commission. The motion passed unanimously.
Fee Resolution update
Communications Manager Kristin Banfield reviewed the update to the City’s fee schedule.
The fees included in the schedule cover all departments in the City and address items not
included in the Arlington Municipal Code. Staff is recommending updates to the planning,
EMS, recreation, police services and public records fees. A new addition to the Fee Schedule
was made with respect to Concealed Weapons Permits (CWPs). The fees for CWPs are set
by State law, with no option for any additional fees by any jurisdiction. The City received
notice on November 27, 2018, that a portion of that fee is increasing. To be clear to our
customers on the current charges for CWPs, we included language to recognize the four
categories under the permit issuance and the costs associated. Discussion followed. Mayor
Pro Tem Marilyn Oertle moved and Councilmember Debora Nelson seconded the motion to
approve the resolution replacing Resolution No. 2018‐010 and adopting a revised fee
schedule. The motion passed unanimously.
Waste Management recycling rate increase
Public Works Director Jim Kelly reviewed the Amendment to the Arlington – Waste
Management Franchise Agreement increasing recycling fees. Discussion followed.
Councilmember Josh Roundy moved and Councilmember Marilyn Oertle seconded the
motion to accept the Waste Management proposed recyclables rate increase and incorporate
the rate increase into the Arlington ‐ Waste Management Franchise Agreement by
amendment, pending final approval by the City Attorney. The motion passed unanimously.

Services Agreement with former Deputy Fire Chief Tom Cooper to work as a consultant to
the Fire Department as originally dated through April 2019, and as needed infrequently for
the rest of the year 2019. Councilmember Sue Weiss moved and Councilmember Mike

unanimously.
With no other New Business to discuss, the Council returned to the items under
Public Hearing to take formal action.

for public comment on the proposed amendments. As December 17, 2018 is the last meeting
of the year, council will be asked to take action on the proposed amendments. Budget
amendments are required by state law to be adopted prior to December 31 of the current
budget year. Discussion followed with Finance Director Garcia answering Council questions.
Non‐exempt pay plan
Human Resources Director James Trefry reviewed the proposed salary schedule for the
City’s non‐represented employees not under contract. The proposed schedule provides the
same 12‐step pay structure as 2018, with the addition of “City Clerk/Human Resources
Analyst” (formerly “Human Resources Analyst), “Communications Manager” (formerly
“Communications Manager/City Clerk”), “IT Director” and the deletion of “Airport Intern”,
“Engineering Technician”, “Engineer I”, “Engineer II” (these are all bargaining unit positions)
and “Recreation/Communications Manager”. This change does not result in any current
budget impact. Starting with Step G5M, a 3.3% market adjustment was applied. From there
steps 1‐4 are 3% less, and steps 6‐12 are 2% more. Pay grades are built upon Step G5M with
8% increase per grades H‐M, 6% increase for grade N, 15.55% increase for grade O
(beginning of the director levels), 5% increase for grades P‐Q, 4.55% increase grade R and
13% increase for grade AA. All salaries were then rounded to the nearest dollar. For 2019,
the market adjustment was applied to the annual amount ‐ in the past it was applied to the
hourly rate due to constraints in BIAS. All salaries are now based on the yearly amount and
are then backed into the monthly/ hourly rates. Seasonal Maintenance Laborers are the
same rate as 2017 and 2018. Discussion followed. Director Trefry stated, and City
Administrator Paul Ellis reiterated, that no new positions were created.
Fire Chief employment agreement
Human Resources Director James Trefry reviewed the employment agreement for
Dave Kraski to serve as Fire Chief. Discussion followed.
York Property Purchase and Sale
City Administrator Paul Ellis provided Council with an update on the York Park .56 acres
surplus. The property was listed for sale with Keller Williams Realtors for $195,000. The
City received a cash offer from Grandview North for the full purchase price, with $2,000 in
earnest money. Discussion followed. Councilmember Nelson stated she would like to see in
the motion wording that states the funds from the sale will go towards the Park
Improvement Fund.
Art benches for Arlington Valley Road
Community Revitalization Manager Sarah Lopez reviewed the recommendation for adding
two benches, and incorporating art into the design of the benches, to the new Arlington
Valley Road. The new road has a multi‐use trail and adding the artistic benches will improve
the corridor; a Complete Street. The recommended benches are by Arlington stone artist
Verena Schwippert. Verena has also created “Waterline” and “Salmon Spawning Pool bench,”
art pieces that are installed on the Arlington Art Walk. The two artistic benches were
selected for their natural beauty and sustainability. Discussion followed.

At 7:52 p.m., Mayor Tolbert excused herself from the next agenda item and left her seat.
Mayor Pro Tem Marilyn Oertle called the next item of business.
Approve lodging tax distributions for 2019
Finance Director Kristin Garcia reviewed the Lodging Tax Distribution. 20 applications were
received with a total amount requested of $230,995. The city has $145,000 to award in
lodging tax distributions. The committee’s decision considered many factors including but
not limited to; meeting council priorities, overall rating, attendance, community events, free
events, funding marketing activities and events that attract out of town visitors.
The genealogical society was not fully funded as the committee felt the event had been in
existence long enough to be more self‐sufficient and has other funding opportunities
available
The Stilly Valley Chamber of Commerce Visitor Information Center requested $20,000
more than in previous years. The $20,000 was for a part time FTE. The city hasn’t had a
practice of funding personnel costs which was communicated during the training held on
August 22, 2018. The information center was fully funded after removing the part time FTE.
The last three organizations were not funded because they received the lowest rating and
the committee felt they did not have a significant tie into tourism. Discussion followed with
Finance Director Garcia answering Council questions.
At 8:04 p.m., Mayor Tolbert rejoined the meeting and resumed her position as chair.

Human Resources is proposing the adoption of a revised salary schedule for the City’s non‐represented

The proposed schedule provides the same 12‐step pay structure as 2018, with the addition of “City
Clerk/Human Resources Analyst” (formerly “Human Resources Analyst), “Communications Manager”
(formerly “Communications Manager/City Clerk”), “IT Director” and the deletion of “Airport Intern”,
“Engineering Technician”, “Engineer I”, “Engineer II” (these are all bargaining unit positions) and
“Recreation/Communications Manager”. This change does not result in any current budget impact.
Starting with Step G5M, a 3.3% market adjustment was applied. From there steps 1‐4 are 3% less, and steps 6‐
12 are 2% more. Pay grades are built upon Step G5M with 8% increase per grades H‐M, 6% increase for grade

DESCRIPTION:
City Council declared .56 acres at York Park as surplus. The property was listed for sale with Keller
Williams Realtors for $195,000. The city received a cash offer from Grandview North for the full
purchase price, with $2,000 in earnest money.
HISTORY:
The 1.7 acre York property located at 3209 180th Street was purchased by the City in 2000.
Approximately 1.14 acres was developed into York Park in 2004, with the remaining .56 acres set
aside for future parks development. The remaining .56 acres has a single family home constructed in
1952 and an out building that has been used by the City for storage. The remaining undeveloped .56
acres of the York Property would accommodate up to three new single family homes with the
existing building removed. The city received a prior offer which was canceled by the buyer during
the due diligence period.

LEGAL REVIEW:
DESCRIPTION:
Staff recommends adding two benches and incorporating art into the design of the
benches to the new Arlington Valley Road. The new road has a multi‐use trail and
adding the artistic benches will improve the corridor; a Complete Street.
The recommended benches are by Arlington stone artist Verena Schwippert. Verena has
also created “Waterline” and “Salmon Spawning Pool bench,” art pieces that are installed
on the Arlington Art Walk.
The two artistic benches were selected for their natural beauty and sustainability.
HISTORY:
A call for public art benches was done by the Arlington Arts Council. Verena Schwippert’s
designs were forwarded to the Public Art Committee as the recommended choices for
Arlington Valley Road. In accordance with the public art policy, the proposals have been
reviewed and recommended by the Public Art Committee and PARC on November 27,
2018.
ALTERNATIVES
Do not accept one or both of the public art benches.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
I move to purchase the public art benches for Arlington Valley Road and accept them into
the City’s Public Art Collection.

BUDGETED AMOUNT: $145,000
LEGAL REVIEW:
DESCRIPTION:
20 applications were received with a total amount requested of $230,995. The city has $145,000 to award in
lodging tax distributions. The committee’s decision considered many factors including but not limited to;
meeting council priorities, overall rating, attendance, community events, free events, funding marketing
activities and events that attract out of town visitors.
The genealogical society was not fully funded as the committee felt the event had been in existence long
enough to be more self‐sufficient and has other funding opportunities available
The Stilly Valley Chamber of Commerce Visitor Information Center requested $20,000 more than in
previous years. The $20,000 was for a part time FTE. The city hasn’t had a practice of funding
personnel costs which was communicated during the training held on August 22, 2018. The
information center was fully funded after removing the part time FTE.
The last three organizations were not funded because they received the lowest rating and the
committee felt they did not have a significant tie into tourism.
HISTORY:
On August 22, 2018, a training session was held for prospective applicants. The application due date was
October 2, 2018. Applicants were interviewed by the committee on November 7, 2018. The committee met
on November 20, 2018 to review and discuss grant applications.
ALTERNATIVES:
Do not approve funding distributions for 2019
Remand back to the lodging tax advisory committee for additional review and discussion
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
I move to approve the 2019 funding distribution as recommended by the lodging tax advisory committee.
