INTRODUCTION OF SPECIAL GUESTS AND PRESENTATIONS None. WORKSHOP ITEMS – NO ACTION WAS TAKEN Change Order No. 2 for SR530 Utility Crossing City Administrator Paul Ellis reviewed Change Order No. 2 for SR530 utility crossing fiber installation. Change order No. 2 is to include Washington State Sales Tax (WSST). The original project amount was $149,959.60. A break in the conduit was found, so repairs were needed, and Change Order No. 1 ($11,798.70) was approved by Council. Unfortunately, the price the City received did not include Washington State Sales Tax. Change Order No. 4 for 211th Street Corridor Project Public Works Director Jim Kelly reviewed Change Order No. 4 for the 211th Street Corridor Project. As the 211th Place Corridor Improvement project finished up, unexpected conditions that were encountered and solved mutually with the contractor need to be finalized. Change Order No. 4 is a summary of the final four items, all unplanned project conditions (COP-10 through COP-13). Minutes of the Arlington City Council Workshop Minutes of the City of Arlington City Council Workshop November 10, 2025 Page 2 of 3 Ordinance Adopting Fire Sprinkler Code Community and Economic Development Director Amy Rusko reviewed an ordinance adding a new Section, 15.24.040-Fire Sprinkler Systems, to AMC Title 15 Fire Regulations. This will require fire sprinklers to be installed in all new construction, including residential one- and two-family dwellings. This is in anticipation of the upcoming development of single family detached homes that will be built on 3600-4200 square foot lots with reduced separation and in locations having significant topography that may increase the response time of Fire/EMS apparatus due to the proposed grades of the roadways. The installation of sprinkler systems in all new construction also enables us to evaluate the reduction of roadway widths, substantially reducing the initial cost of installation by the developer and the overall maintenance cost incurred by the city in perpetuity. This item was discussed in detail at the May 27 Council workshop, June 2 Council meeting, and the June 9 Council workshop, where it was tabled for discussion until a later date.
