WORKSHOP ITEMS – NO ACTION WAS TAKEN Memorandum of Understanding with City of Marysville to Utilize Polygraph Examination Services Police Commander Peter Barrett reviewed a draft Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with City of Marysville to Utilize Polygraph Examination Services. Staff is requesting approval for the City of Arlington Police Department to enter into a MOU with the City of Marysville to utilize Marysville Police Department’s qualified polygraph examiner services. This agreement will support both pre-employment/hiring polygraph examinations and criminal investigations when polygraph is an appropriate investigative tool. Each police officer candidate undergoes a polygraph examination. This is done as part of pre-employment screening. Polygraph services are outsourced to a qualified examiner. The cost Minutes of the Arlington City Council Workshop Minutes of the City of Arlington City Council Meeting February 9, 2026 Page 2 of 4 of this service is normally covered with salary savings or budgeted with a new position. Discussion followed with Commander Barrett answering Council questions. Resolution Adopting Fee Schedule Community & Economic Development Director Amy Rusko reviewed a resolution adopting a fee schedule. Staff is proposing changes to the Fee Resolution to update fees and rates for 2026 and provide minor clerical corrections to the document. The proposed changes involve multiple department updates including the Community and Economic Development Department, Public Works Department, Police Department, Community Engagement Department, and Maintenance and Operations Department. The fee resolution sets the fees for city services, and the proposed changes reflect updates to fees and services of multiple departments. Discussion followed with Ms. Rusko answering Council questions. Change Order No. 2 for 188th Street Roundabout Public Works Director Jim Kelly reviewed the 188th Street/ Smokey Point Boulevard Roundabout Project, Change Order No. 2. Change Order #2 to the 188th Street Roundabout Project, includes extension of sanitary sewer north approximately 1,090 feet and connect to lift station 6. Public Works publicly bid the 188th Street/ Smokey Point Boulevard Project in fall 2025 and the contract was awarded to SRV Construction Inc. As part of this project, the existing 8-inch sanitary sewer main was being upgraded to an 18-inch sewer main within the project limits. After construction began, it was discovered that the new 18-inch sanitary sewer was too close to a mis-marked gas main forcing the relocation of the sewer main east. In addition, the flow in the existing 8-inch sewer main was past 80% full flow at peak hour; reconnecting the new 18-inch sewer main to the existing 8-inch sewer main would cause maintenance problems. The 18-inch sewer main would be extended to Lift Station 6 as part of another phase of the Smokey Point Boulevard Corridor project. This change order proposes to cover the costs associated with the necessary construction changes and will be covered by city sewer capital funds. Discussion followed with Mr. Kelly answering Council questions. Interlocal Agreement with Snohomish Conservation District Public Works Director Jim Kelly reviewed the Interlocal Agreement with Snohomish Conservation District for riparian habitat restoration on north edge of the Arlington Stormwater Wetland Park (Stillaguamish River south bank).

One of the locations is on the south bank of the Stillaguamish River that borders Arlington's Stormwater Wetland Park. The restoration work plan is described in Stormwater Wetlands Park Scope of Work. Permission to Minutes of the City of Arlington City Council Meeting February 9, 2026 Page 3 of 4 perform this work, along with necessary terms between the City of Arlington and Snohomish Conservation District, is included in the draft Interlocal Agency Agreement. Discussion followed with Mr. Kelly answering Council questions. North County Recycle Transfer Station Mitigation Agreement With Snohomish County Public Works Director Jim Kelly reviewed the North County Recycle Transfer Station Mitigation Agreement With Snohomish County. Staff is requesting Council approve a renewal of a five-year traffic mitigation agreement between Snohomish County and the City of Arlington for road impacts due to operation of the North County Recycling and Transfer Station (NCRTS). The City of Arlington and Snohomish County entered into a "Settlement and Mitigation Agreement" in 1992 to resolve traffic mitigation issues related to the operation of the County's NCRTS, the agreement has been renewed continuously on a five-year cycle.

Because all City employees contribute to the produc on of public records requests and all employees earn diﬀerent salaries or rate of pay, the public records oﬃcer would have to be privy to salaries of all employees in order to calculate the invoice; CITY OF ARLINGTON FEE SCHEDULE RESOLUTION NO. 2024-0296-001 Page 19 (b) Employees supplying scanned records to the public records oﬃcer would be required to track me spent, thereby crea ng a burden for those employees without worksta ons as well as addi onal work not assigned in many employees’ job descrip ons and or union contracts; (c) The City’s public records oﬃcer would be required to maintain a record of all employees who contribute to each part of a public record request and poten ally charge diﬀerent amounts for mul ple scanned pages; (d) The City uses more than seven document scanning machines with diﬀerent costs and lease agreement fees which change from me to me. The cost of supplies for the City’s various scanning machines is subject to change based on current market rates. Calcula ng the por on of the machines and supplies used toward scanning public records would require knowledge of the cost of supplies and an in-depth analysis of ming and applica on mul plied by each contribu ng employee’s hourly rate of pay; and (e) The response me to a public records request may be delayed in order to calculate scanning costs and create an invoice with diﬀerent rates of scanning charges.

Because all City employees contribute to the production of public records requests and all employees earn diﬀerent salaries or rate of pay, the public records oﬃcer would have to be privy to salaries of all employees in order to calculate the invoice; (b) Employees supplying scanned records to the public records oﬃcer would be required to track time spent, thereby creating a burden for those employees without workstations as well as additional work not assigned in many employees’ job descriptions and or union contracts; (c) The City’s public records oﬃcer would be required to maintain a record of all employees who contribute to each part of a public record request and potentially charge diﬀerent amounts for multiple scanned pages; CITY OF ARLINGTON FEE SCHEDULE RESOLUTION NO. 2026-001 Page 20 (d) The City uses more than seven document scanning machines with diﬀerent costs and lease agreement fees which change from time to time. The cost of supplies for the City’s various scanning machines is subject to change based on current market rates. Calculating the portion of the machines and supplies used toward scanning public records would require knowledge of the cost of supplies and an in-depth analysis of timing and application multiplied by each contributing employee’s hourly rate of pay; and (e) The response time to a public records request may be delayed in order to calculate scanning costs and create an invoice with diﬀerent rates of scanning charges.

CITY OF ARLINGTON SNOHOMISH CONSERVATION DISTRICT [name, title] Mark Craven, Board Chair Stormwater Wetlands Park Scope of Work Project Overview The Snohomish Conservation District (SCD), in coordination with the City of Arlington (“the City”), will restore the riparian buffer along the mainstem Stillaguamish River at Stormwater Wetlands Park, improving water quality, fish and wildlife habitat, enhancing long-term forest and river health, and fostering public engagement. Stormwater Wetlands Park provides recreational use through open space and trails, including through the project site, and additionally houses a constructed Stormwater Wetland Treatment Facility (SWTF), installed and maintained by the City. The riparian buffer contains invasive plants and an aging, deciduous overstory, which will result in a degraded riparian system if left unmanaged. Using funds from the Washington Conservation Commission Riparian Grant Program, SCD will plan and implement riparian restoration through invasive species control and native plant installation across the proposed project area This project covers seven to nine acres and spans 2,596 linear feet of the Stillaguamish River (see Appendix D for additional site information). Goals This project, through management of invasive species and installation of native species, aims to: (1)Improve water quality and temperature by providing shade and favorable microclimate to the river, increasing floodplain stability, and filtering sediments and pollutants by enhancing floodplain wetland function, (2)Restore habitat for native fish and wildlife by increasing biodiversity, food sources, and large wood inputs, (3)Maintain long-term riparian function by fostering ecological succession with long-lived coniferous trees, and (4)Foster public engagement and education on riparian restoration and the health of the Stillaguamish River. Project Activities Activities that SCD will perform in implementation of this project include: 1.Completion of the Riparian Restoration Plan for this site, to be approved by the City, which will detail the following items, 1 APPENDIX A 2. Completion of a Cultural Resources Review, including an Inadvertent Discovery Plan, 3. Site preparation, including nonnative, invasive plant species control and removal, 4. Preparation of a native planting plan and plant list, 5. Installation of native plants, 6. Monitoring and maintenance of the site, including adaptive management plantings, and 7. Potential installation of interpretive signage. Site Preparation Site preparation will primarily consist of controlling invasive plants to the extent of allowing installed native plants to establish and survive without threat of encroachment. Dominant invasive plant species are Himalayan blackberry (Rubus bicolor) and knotweed (Polygonum spp.). Control of Himalayan blackberry will consist of hand removal through cutting and grubbing, with hand and handheld motorized tools, and herbicide application where hand removal is impractical (along Eagle trail and on the eastern portion of the project area). Control of knotweed will consist of herbicide application. All use of herbicide will be completed by applicators licensed through the Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA). All herbicides will be aquatic formulations for use in the riparian area. All application areas and dates will be submitted to the City for review at least one month prior, and will be approved by the City before application. All applications will be clearly marked by public notices of herbicide application, with dates of application and reentry intervals. All applications will be in compliance with WSDA laws and regulations. Additionally, some native understory vegetation may be pushed back in rings surrounding selected planting locations to allow planted conifers to establish, where the understory is particularly dense. Site preparation activities will be demarcated by signage alerting the public of ongoing work, including notices of pesticide application and reentry intervals, and construction fencing to deter vandalism. Native Plant Installation Native plants to be installed on-site will consist of shade-tolerant conifer tree species (ex. Tsuga heterophylla, Thuja plicata) where the deciduous overstory is already established, and Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) if there is open space. Native woody shrubs will also be planted to supplement the existing understory where invasive plants are removed. In order to ensure survival of tree plantings in the dense shrub layer of the floodplain, we propose installing large conifer trees (5-10gallon, 4-6 feet tall) as opposed to smaller seedlings. This strategy, based on previously installed projects by SCD and Snohomish County, will allow highly specific maintenance and care for installed trees, providing suitable conditions for healthy growth and tree vigor. 2 APPENDIX A Plant List Our proposed project will consist of the following species, prioritizing conifer tree species that serve the goals of this project. Trees will be placed in suitable habitat locations spaced at 30-40ft on center. Shrubs will be focused on areas with large scale blackberry and knotweed removal in order to re-establish a native understory and provide competitive pressure to remaining invasive species growth. Trees (250-300) Western redcedar (Thuja plicata) Douglas-fir (Psuedotsuga menziesii) Western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla) Bigleaf maple (Acer macrophyllum) Shrubs (400-500) Salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis) Red elderberry (Sambucus racemosa) Snowberry (Symphoricarpus albus) Nootka rose (Rosa Nutkana) Osoberry (Oemleria cerasiformis) Red flowering currant (Ribes sanguineum) Monitoring, Maintenance, and Adaptive Management Circle plots will be established to monitor the success of restoration efforts, capturing a representative sample of the site. Vegetation monitoring will occur prior to planting and in years [1,2,3,5,7, and 10] after installation, between June and September of each monitoring year. Metrics of success will include: ● Plant survival ● Plant vigor ● Plant damage, and ● Canopy cover Maintenance may include invasive plant control as necessary, and replanting in order to maintain an 85% plant survival rate at year 5 post-installation. Invasive plant control management will consist of hand removal with handheld nonmotorized or motorized tools, and herbicide application where necessary. Vegetation protection may be installed to protect plants, if there is evidence of excessive damage. Signage Interpretive signage may be installed on educational topics like riparian forest health and function, river function, and installed plant species. 3 APPENDIX A Responsibilities Responsibility Snohomish Conservation District City of Arlington Project Funding SCD will utilize funding from the Washington Conservation Commission Riparian Grant Program to complete this project. Additional funding needs will be sourced as needed. The City will provide no funding for this project. Project Planning SCD will produce a Riparian Restoration plan, including but not limited to an overview of the project and its impacts, a description of all project activities, a planting list, necessary permits, and a Cultural Resource Review. The City will review and approve the Riparian Restoration Plan, providing amendments as necessary. Project Implementation SCD will provide all materials and labor necessary for project implementation, including but not limited to crew and/or contractor labor, tools, plant materials, and vegetation protection. SCD will provide notice to the City at least one month prior to any herbicide applications. SCD will coordinate with the City for access as needed. The City will provide access to Stormwater Wetlands Park for all implementation activities, and approve herbicide applications as needed.

Educational opportunities that could be enabled or enhanced by this project include the installation of interpretive signs based on the project activities and installed plant species, environmental education events hosted in Stormwater Wetland Park, and volunteer engagement for new and existing volunteers throughout implementation. Additionally, restoration activities and tree planting may be counted towards city deliverables, potentially supplementing any existing stormwater management requirements imposed by the Washington Department of Ecology. Site History This site was originally a village named Skalbalko, home to the Stoluck-wa-mish River Tribe (Stillaguamish Tribe of Indians), used as a hunting and training camp. After European displacement and settlement in the mid-19th century, this site was cleared and used for shingle mills to support logging in the area. Following the closure of the mills, the site was bought for agricultural use. It was farmed until 2000, when the City purchased the property, forming Stormwater Wetlands Park, and constructed the SWTF later in 2010. Pollution The reach of the Stillaguamish River along this project’s boundaries is categorized as impaired for temperature (Category 4a), fecal coliform (Category 4a), and pH (Category 2), and has Total Daily Maximum Loads (TMDLs) in place for both temperature, and fecal coliform, dissolved oxygen, pH, mercury and arsenic. This project aligns with prescribed TMDL actions for water temperature by installing riparian vegetation. Supplemental conifer plantings will provide long-term floodplain structure, and understory shrub plantings will support water filtration and wetland floodplain function. Plantings will have additional benefits for stream temperature by creating a cooler microclimate and increasing groundwater recharge and subsurface cold water input. This project may also provide benefits for fecal coliform levels, as prescribed by the TMDL, by reducing runoff from surrounding sources of pollution. Hydrology and Floodplain Morphology The Stillaguamish River is a perennial, mainstem river. The Stillaguamish Basin is a snow-and-rain mixed basin, with snowmelt from higher elevations in the basin sustaining spring and summer flows. The 10 APPENDIX A project is situated right below the confluence of the North and South Forks of the Stillaguamish River. In the past five years, the water level at this confluence has ranged from low levels of 1.6-1.8 ft, correlating with 140-200 cfs, and peak levels of 13-15 ft, correlating with 20,000-30,000 cfs. Peak flows will continue to increase, and low flow periods will be extended due to climate change impacts. The focus reach at the Stormwater Wetland Park consists of a wide main channel with intermediate gravel bar development and an active side channel. The gravel bars are host to several deciduous tree species that secure the bars and help divert water into the floodplain, mitigating flows during flood stages. Flood events likely keep the lower portions of the floodplain active and wetted during winter months. Topographic variation across the floodplain suggests current and historic side channels. In these low areas, floodplain wetland features indicate valuable water storage and subsurface water input, important for supporting summer baseflow. Soils The soil in the project area that surrounds the riverbank is classified as rarely flooded, well drained, and is categorized in hydrologic soil group A (high infiltration, low runoff). The depth to water table is greater than 80 inches. The riverwash soil is classified as frequently flooded, excessively drained, and hydric. The distribution of these soils will be examined as the project moves forward to ensure proper plant placement. Fish Use A variety of fish species use and are present in this reach. Salmon species include chinook, coho, sockeye, and pink (odd years). Chinook, coho, and sockeye use this reach for rearing, and chinook and pink use this reach for spawning. Puget Sound chinook are listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. Other present fish species include steelhead and rainbow trout, bull trout, and cutthroat trout. Steelhead and bullhead trout use this reach for rearing. Puget Sound steelhead trout are listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. Public Use Stormwater Wetlands Park is a public park, with covered outdoor structures, open space, and a network of trails. The trail network extends through the project area, and provides river access. Throughout the trail network, there is evidence of unauthorized camping in the park, likely most prevalent during summer months 11 APPENDIX A Stormwater Management The 10-acre SWTF runs throughout the park and is designed to naturally treat stormwater from the downtown Arlington drainage basin. The SWTF is and will be maintained only by the City, and the project boundaries exclude the SWTF. Project activities may provide indirect benefit to the SWTF by reducing the presence of invasive species that may pose a threat to the SWTF, like knotweed, in the surrounding area. Plant Community The project area is an early-successional second-growth forest in the Douglas-fir–western hemlock zone. Dominant overstory tree species are deciduous, short-lived trees, including black cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa) and bigleaf maple (Acer macrophyllum). The understory primarily consists of native, woody shrubs, including salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis) and snowberry (Symphoricarpos albus). Nonnative, invasive plant species are also present, and dominate large areas of the project extent, including Himalayan blackberry (Rubus bicolor), knotweed (Polygonum spp.), English Ivy (Hedera helix) and English holly (Ilex aquifolium). Himalayan blackberry is present throughout the site, and in concentrated patches primarily along Eagle trail and in the floodplain throughout the eastern portion of the site. Knotweed is present throughout the site, with some concentrated patches along Eagle Trail, and the vegetated gravel bar/ river island north of the project within the river channel. At this time, knotweed has been primarily transported by floodwater and is most prevalent in topographic low areas. Knotweed can spread aggressively under favorable conditions and poses the biggest threat to overall riparian function and health. Continued forest and river health will require invasive species control in conjunction with native tree plantings focused on providing a long-lived, conifer tree canopy and a stable, diverse understory. 12 APPENDIX A Appendix D: Site Photos Image 1.

HISTORY: Public Works publicly bid the 188th & Smokey Point Blvd Project in fall 2025, the contract was awarded to SRV Construction Inc. As part of this project, the existing 8-inch sanitary sewer main was being upgraded to an 18-inch sewer main within the project limits. After construction began, it was discovered that the new 18-inch sanitary sewer was too close to a mis-marked gas main forcing the relocation of the sewer main east. In addition, the flow in the existing 8-inch sewer main was past 80% full flow at peak hour; reconnecting the new 18-inch sewer main to the existing 8-inch sewer main would cause maintenance problems. The 18-inch sewer main would be extended to Lift Station 6 as part of another phase of the Smokey Point Blvd Corridor project, . This change order proposes to cover the costs associated with the necessary construction changes and will be covered by city sewer capital funds.
