EXPENDITURES REQUESTED: Refinance 2001 LTGO, Sell additional Bonds to Remodel
Fire Stat. 46 and purchase land at the airport and
refinance the County loan for the 800Mhz Radio System
BUDGET CATEGORY: Debt
LEGAL REVIEW: Foster Pepper (Bond Council) prepared the ordinance
DESCRIPTION:
It is advantageous to refinance the 2001 Limited Tax General Obligation Bonds to take
advantage of current low interest rates.
Additional funds are needed to fund the remodel of Fire Station 46 and to purchase land at the
airport in the Runway Protection Zone.
It is also advantageous to refinance the 5.5% loan with Snohomish. County for the 800Mhz
Radio Sys.
This was previously discussed at the July 26, 2010 workshop meeting and previous workshop
meetings.
City of Arlington
Council Agenda Bill
HISTORY:
Jane Towery, Managing Director with Piper Jaffray & Co., has determined the City could save
approximately $145,000 in interest payments over the next 11 years by refinancing the 2001
LTGO Bonds. The 2001 Bonds pay interest at 4.25% to 4.90%. It is estimated by refinancing the
rates would be between 2.00% to 4.00%.
New money, to finance the fire station remodel, would pay interest up to 5% in the later years
(20 year financing) but would be structured to allow early for redemption. The FAA will be
providing assistance with the airport land in the form of a grant. That grant, however, will not
be available until 2013. Included in the language is the ability to redeem those bonds in three
years. When the FAA grant funds are received, that portion of the bonds will be redeemed.
Jane Towery, with Piper Jaffray, and Nancy Neraas, with Foster Pepper, will be at the meeting
to answer any questions.
At the July 26 meeting it was asked what the costs of the issuance will be. The cost of the
issuance is about $36,000 to Piper Jaffray, $9,600 to Moody’s for the rating, and about $13,000 to
Foster Pepper to prepare the bond ordinance and related legal advice.
The $36,000 issuance cost to Piper Jaffray is already included in the approx. $145,000 interest
savings to refinance the existing bonds.
In addition, refinancing the Snohomish County loan (currently at 5.5%) would save the City
approximately $63,000 over the next 11 years interest payments with a two percent reduction in
interest rates.
We have received a rating of A2 from Moody’s for this issue. This is a one step decrease from
our previous rating of A1.
We will determine if it is cost effective to purchase bond insurance (which buys a rating of Aaa,
(the highest rating) to reduce interest rates). If the cost of the insurance is greater than the
savings resulting from lower interest rates, we will not purchase insurance.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Do not approve the sale.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Refinance the 2001 LTGO and borrow the additional funds for the fire station remodel, purchase
airport property and refinance the County loan through a bond sale with Piper Jaffray.

DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN:

Purchase Proposal
EXPENDITURES REQUESTED: $150,000 (Not to exceed)
BUDGET CATEGORY: EMS
LEGAL REVIEW: N/A
DESCRIPTION:
The City has an opportunity to purchase a 2009 ambulance “demonstration model” from Braun
Northwest Inc. for a cost not to exceed $150,000. The base price of the unit including sales tax is
$139,734 [$121,050 + 8%]. In addition to the purchase price there will be additional costs to
purchase a patient cot, add lettering and door decals, and install the radios from the old unit.
We are still trying to finalize the cost for the lettering and door decals and for the patient cot
and the radios changes. However, the additional costs will not exceed the $150,000 amount.
The 2010 EMS budget has sufficient funds to make this purchase.
HISTORY: Over the past several months the Department has begun to experience an increasing
occurrence of mechanical break downs on the existing ambulance units (especially Medic 48
assigned to Station 48). These breakdowns have placed Medic 48 out of service sometimes for
several days at a time. This unit has over 120,000 road miles and because of its mechanical
condition it has become unreliable for immediate response. In an effort to investigate the
immediate availability of ambulance units staff contacted 3 manufactures; Braun Northwest,
Road Rescue and H&N Inc. Braun was the only manufacturer that responded to the inquiry
and they have a unit immediately available. Braun is the company that furnished one of our
existing units and refurbished another unit.
City of Arlington
Council Agenda Bill
ALTERNATIVES:
Continue to rely on borrowing equipment from neighboring agencies when breakdowns occur.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Authorize the Mayor to sign the purchase proposal from Braun Northwest for an amount of
$139,734, excluding the options and authorize the staff to continue seeking pricing for the
lettering and radio changes for a total project cost not to exceed $150,000.
From: Jim Chase
Sent: Tuesday, 27. July 2010 14:48
To: Jim Rankin
Subject: Ambulance Purchase
Jim,
Here are my thoughts as to why I believe the EMS Fund can purchase the new ambulance.
EMS began 2010 with $283,676 in cash in the fund. The 2010 Budget indicated $0 beginning fund
balance. So we were ahead in that regard.
2010 Budgeted Revenues are $2,317,531 and Budgeted Expenditures are $2,133,760. That puts us
ahead another $183,771.
I realize that some of the line items will be overspent, especially in the area of Overtime, which was only
budgeted at $25,000.
I assume we will spend more than that on overtime. If we spent $100,000 on OT we would still end the
year with a cash balance of $392,000, less the $150,000 to purchase the ambulance, we end the year
with a projected $242,000 to carry over to 2011.
I assume we will meet our budget in all other ways.

DESCRIPTION:
An Intention to Commence Annexation 10% Petition form has been submitted for
approximately 14.04 acres located on the northeast corner of 172nd Street NE/SR 531 and SR 9.
The property is within the City Urban Growth Area, and the current City limits abut the
proposed annexation area on the west. The City’s Comprehensive Plan designates the area as
General Commercial, and the zoning map pre-zones this area as General Commercial.
HISTORY:
Jim Thompson, submitted an application for annexation/Annexation 10% Petition form on June
14, 2010. The request has been reviewed by staff. The proposed annexation had been part of a
larger annexation, known as the Star Annexation, previously applied for on April 27, 2006. The
Star Annexation was put on indefinite hold by the City of Arlington on July 17, 2006 due to
water/sewer incapacities at that time. The Star Annexation is being closed through a separate
motion. The Thompson Annexation is being processed, now that we will have adequate
water/sewer availability to this site.

the assumption of their proportionate share of the City’s bonded indebtedness and the

will be required prior to the annexation becoming effective.

northeast corner of Highway 9 and SR 531. The property is within the City’s
Urban Growth Area and the current city limits abut the west end of the property.
The City’s Comprehensive Plan designates the area as General Commercial
and the City’s Zoning Map pre-zones the area as General Commercial. The
reason for the annexation request is to allow the applicant to connect to the
City’s sewer and water systems.
Staff has reviewed the request and no major issues with the annexation have
been identified. The site is adjacent to the proposed roundabout that will be built
by WSDOT. Any environmental impacts of development would be identified and
mitigated at the time of application for land use development permits.
The annexation is consistent with the following Comprehensive Plan Policies:
Growth Policy (PL-4.3) – concentrate new growth within the Urban Growth Area.
Growth Policy (PL-4.7) – encouraging urban development only on land where
the City can provide urban services as required by GMA.
Growth Policy (PL-6.2) – providing urban services in a logical manner and within
a reasonable period of time.
Growth Policy (PL-6.4) – annexation areas should be pre-designated and
pre-zoned so that interested parties know what they will be once annexed.
If Council approves the Annexation 10% Petition form, the applicant will be
allowed to circulate the 60% petition for annexation and submit the signed
petition to the City. Staff will forward the 60% petition to the County for
Certification of Sufficiency and then ask the Council to set a date for the public
hearing before the City Council. A development Agreement will be required prior
to the annexation becoming effective.
Staff recommends that the Council accept the Annexation 10% Petition form for
the Jim Thompson Annexation (File No. PLN20100015) and allow the circulation
of the 60% petition for annexation with the zoning of General Commercial and
the assumption of their proportionate share of the City’s bonded indebtedness
with the understanding that, if the annexation is approved, a Development
Agreement would be required prior to the annexation becoming effective.
