RESOLUTION NO.2013-002 TBD
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GOVERNING BOARD OF
THE ARLINGTON TRANSPORTATION BENEFIT DISTRICT OF THE CITY OF
ARLINGTON, WASHINGTON AS FOLLOWS:
Section I. -Current Purpose and Need.
The Governing Board of the District (the "Board") hereby finds that the best interests of the
inhabitants of the District require the District to impose a sales and use tax through this
Resolution in the amount of two -tenths of one percent (0.2%) pursuant to RCW 36.73.040(3)(a)
and RCW 82.14.0455 for the purpose of providing a portion of the funds for pavement
preservation, repair and/or transportation improvements.
Over the past six years, the City has made extremely difficult decisions regarding the funding for
City services. One of these decisions was to defer maintenance on many of our City streets,
which has resulted in segments of 126 roads to be in failing or near failing condition. The Board
has selected these segments of 126 roads throughout the City that are in failing or near failing
condition to be repaired and improved over the next 10 years.
Priority will be given to arterial roads, followed by collector roads, then residential/minor roads.
Priority will also be given to roads that are still able to be preserved over roads that need
reconstruction. Priority will be given to roads with high daily traffic (ADT) counts. Some of the
pavement preservation technologies to be used include: pothole repair and strategic pavement
replacement, fog seal, slurry seal, microsurfacing, 3/8" chip seal, %2" chip seal, double chip seal,
1-1 /2" overlay, and 2" grind and pave.
The cost of all necessary design, engineering, financial, legal and other consulting services,
inspection and testing, administrative and relocation expenses, and other costs incurred in
connection with the foregoing TBD Projects shall be deemed a part of the costs of the TBD
Projects.
The Board shall determine the application of moneys available for the TBD Projects so as to
accomplish, as nearly as may be practical, all of the TBD Projects. In the event that the
proceeds of sales and use taxes authorized herein, plus any other money of the District legally
available therefore, are insufficient to accomplish all of the TBD Projects, the Board shall use
the available funds for paying the cost of those portions of the TBD Projects deemed by the
Board most necessary and in the best interests of the District.
The Board shall determine the exact locations and specifications for the elements of the TBD
Projects as well as the timing, order, and manner of implementing or completing the TBD
Projects. The Board may alter, make substitutions to, and amend the TBD Project descriptions as
it determines is in the best interests of the District consistent with the general descriptions
provided above and in accordance with the material change policy adopted by the Board and the
notice, hearing, and other procedures described in Chapter 36.73 RCW, including
RCW36.73.050(2)(b), in each case as the same may be amended from time to time.
If the Board shall determine that it has become impractical to acquire, construct, or implement
all or any portion of the TBD Projects by reason of changed conditions, incompatible
RESOLUTION NO.2013-002 TBD 2
development, costs substantially in excess of the amount of sales and use tax proceeds
estimated to be available, or acquisition by a superior governmental authority, the Board shall
not be required to acquire, construct, or implement such portions. If all of the TBD Projects
have been acquired, constructed, implemented or duly provided for, or found to be
impractical, the Board may apply the sales and use tax proceeds (including earnings thereon) or
any portion thereof to other transportation improvements then identified in the City's
Transportation Improvement Program in accordance with the material change policy adopted by
the Board and the notice, hearing, and other procedures described in Chapter 36.73 RCW,
including RCW 36.73.050(2)(b), in each case as the same may be amended from time to time.

City of Arlington, Washington Transportation Benefit District
Explanatory Statement for August 6, 2013 Election
Transportation Benefit District Sales Tax Levy Proposition
The City of Arlington formed a Transportation Benefit District (TBD) by ordinance on April 1,
2013. The District is authorized to impose a sales and use tax in the amount of two -tenths of
one percent (0.2%) for a period of up to ten years upon approval by voters within the District.
This sales and use tax is estimated to generate an average of $600,000 of additional revenue per
year, which will be used solely to fund the maintenance, repair and preservation of 126 roads
with segments that are near or at "failing" condition based on a Pavement Condition Index Study
adopted by the TBD Board. The additional revenue from the sales tax is dedicated to these
projects and can be used for no other purpose.
A detailed list of the improvements, their cost and priorities are contained in TBD Resolution
No. 2013-OO1TBD, are available upon request from the Arlington City Clerk and are posted on
the City's web site, www.arlin tonwa. ov .
The proposed sales and use tax would impose a new sales and use tax in the amount of two -
tenths of one percent (0.2%) for a period of ten years, the proceeds of which will be used to fund
the above road maintenance, repair and preservation projects.
