Item: WS #4 Attachment D COUNCIL MEETING DATE: May 26, 2026 SUBJECT: Incorporation of Electric Vehicle Charging Station Rates and update of the 2026 Airport Rate Chart for the City of Arlington Municipal Airport ATTACHMENTS:
Justification and Proposed Electric Vehicle Charging Station Rates DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN Airport; Lorene Robinson, Airport Operations Coordinator 360-403-3472 EXPENDITURES REQUESTED: $0 BUDGET CATEGORY: BUDGETED AMOUNT: N/A LEGAL REVIEW: DESCRIPTION: Airport staff request approval of the proposed electric vehicle (EV) charging station rates for the City of Arlington Municipal Airport and updated airport rates and fees provided in the 2026 Airport Rate Chart and recommend including them in the City’s Resolution for Rates and Fees Schedule. The City has not yet adopted rates for EV charging station use. The Airport currently has a Level 2 charger installed in the parking lot and is prepared to open it for public use once rates are approved. Based on outreach and review of nearby EV charging rates, staff propose the following rates: •Energy fee: $0.27 per kWh while charging•Occupancy fee: $0.27 per minute after charging is complete, with a 10-minute grace period and amaximum fee of $25.00Other updates to this rate chart include annual rate adjustments based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and land appraisals. The Airport Commission approved the 2026 Airport Rates and Fees Chart, including EV charging rates, at the May 11, 2026, Commission meeting. HISTORY: The city has not yet adopted rates for use of EV charging stations. As electric vehicle use has increased, airport staff developed a proposed rate structure to support operations, provide transparency to users, and promote fair access to charging spaces at the Arlington Municipal Airport. ALTERNATIVES Remand to staff for additional information. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Workshop; discussion only. At the June 1, 2026, Council meeting, “I move to approve the addition of electric vehicle (EV) charging station rates for the Arlington Municipal Airport, approve the corresponding revisions to the 2026 Airport Rate Chart, and incorporate those rates into the Resolution Adopting a Revised Fee Schedule.”

Justification of Proposed Electric Vehicle Charging Station Rates
Airport staff reviewed nearby public electric vehicle (EV) charging station rates to help
develop a proposed rate structure for the City of Arlington. As part of this review, they
looked at charging practices in nearby counties and found that Level 2 charging rates
generally range from $0.22 to $0.30 per kWh. Staff also consulted with representatives from
the City of Bellingham, who recommended that Arlington consider setting its Level 2
charging rate at $0.27 per kWh instead of $0.25 per kWh to help avoid operating at a deficit.
Bellingham plans to keep its Level 2 charging rate at $0.25 per kWh while offsetting costs
through anticipated increases to its Level 3/DC fast charging rates in the coming months.
Arlington Municipal Airport does not currently offer Level 3/DC fast charging stations.
Based on review, direct outreach, and comparisons with nearby EV charging rate
structures, staff propose the following EV charging rates for the City of Arlington:
•Energy fee: $0.27 per kWh while charging
•Occupancy fee: $0.27 per minute for remaining in the charging space after charging
is complete, not to exceed $25.00 (including a grace period of 10 minutes)
The proposed base rate of $0.27 per kWh falls within the range of public Level 2 charging
rates observed in nearby counties and reflects the City of Bellingham staff’s
recommendation. The proposed occupancy fee of $0.27 per minute follows the same
general structure as the City of Bellingham and is intended to discourage vehicles from
remaining in EV charging spaces longer than necessary. The proposed maximum
occupancy fee of $25.00 was selected because it results in nearly the same billed post-
charging time as the City of Bellingham’s current cap.
As mentioned above, The City of Bellingham currently charges $0.25 per kWh while
charging, with an occupancy surcharge of $0.25 per minute after charging is complete,
capped at $23.00, and a 10-minute grace period. The City of Bellingham’s rate structure
was used as a nearby municipal example because it provides a clear framework for
charging and applying a post charging fee to encourage turnover and equitable access. The
City of Arlington’s proposed rate structure is also intended to help recover costs associated
with operating the EV charger, including electricity use, software costs, vendor fees,
maintenance, and vandalism related repairs.
Staff believe the proposed rate structure will help recover charging related costs, improve
turnover, and support fair access to the airport’s EV charging station. Staff will continue to
monitor EV charging use, operating costs, and comparable area rates to ensure the city
does not operate at a deficit.

12.2 The City of Arlington finds that calcula ng the actual costs of scanning per page
in order to fulfill a public records request would be unduly burdensome for the
following reasons:
(a) The City employs over 120 employees. 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;
(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.

INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT IGA-2026-01
FOR
SNOHOMISH COUNTY DIVERSION CENTER PARTICIPATION
This intergovernmental agreement for services between Snohomish County and the City of
Arlington (this “Agreement”), is made and entered into this ____ day of , 2026, by and
between Snohomish County, a political subdivision of the State of Washington (the “County”), and the
CITY OF ARLINGTON, a municipal corporation of the State of Washington (the “City”).
In consideration of the mutual promises contained in this Agreement and the mutual benefits to
result therefrom, the parties agree as follows:
1. Purpose of Agreement. The County operates the Snohomish County Diversion Center (the
“Diversion Center”). The Diversion Center is a facility that provides voluntary, temporary shelter and
access to services to unhoused individuals, who may reside there until treatment and/or housing
options are facilitated by social services professionals. The purpose and intent of this Agreement is to
allow the City to refer individuals identified by the City for participation in the Diversion Center Program
in accordance with the rules and conditions set by the County.
2. Effective Date and Duration. This Agreement shall take effect upon execution by both Parties.
This Agreement shall remain in effect through December 31, 2026, unless earlier terminated pursuant to
the provisions of Section 13 below, PROVIDED HOWEVER, that the term of this Agreement may be
extended or renewed for up to three (3) additional one (1) year terms by written notice from the County
to the City, PROVIDED FURTHER that each Party’s obligations after December 31, 2026, are contingent
upon local legislative appropriation of necessary funds for this specific purpose in accordance with
applicable law.
3. Administrators. Each party to this Agreement shall designate an individual (an “Administrator”),
who may be designated by title or position, to oversee and administer such party’s participation in this
Agreement. The parties’ initial Administrators shall be the following individuals:

Snohomish County Human Services Police Department/Arlington
3000 Rockefeller Avenue M/S 305 110 E 3rd Street

Either party may change its Administrator at any time by delivering written notice of such party’s new
Administrator to the other party.
4. County Services. As described in this Section 4, and subject to the conditions set forth in
Section 5 below, the County, through a third-party, hereinafter, “Contractor”, will accept eligible
individuals identified by the City (the “participants”) for participation in the Diversion Center program.
The Diversion Center program will provide temporary shelter and access to basic services to eligible
accepted individuals (“participants”). The Contractor will administer the Diversion Center program and

Page 2 of 7
provide basic services. Contractor will provide short term shelter, access to services in the community,
access to behavioral health services and/or referrals, access to medication assisted withdrawal
management, and transition planning in collaboration with the social services professional who referred
the individual. In addition, the Contractor will provide participants meals, laundry equipment, storage
for small personal items, and basic hygiene kits during his/her participation in the Diversion Center
program. The length of stay is based on the time it takes social services professionals employed on
behalf of the City to facilitate treatment and housing, typically 2-4 weeks. Stays longer than thirty (30)
days will be monitored by the County and additional information may be requested by the County or
Contractor to justify stays longer than thirty (30) days. City shall respond within three (3) days to any
requests for information from County or its Contractor.
4.1 Eligibility/Acceptance. In order to be eligible for the Diversion Center program, the
Contractor must determine, at a minimum: 1) the City has met its obligations under Section 5 of
this agreement, 2) that the individual has successfully completed medical screening, described
in Section 5.2, 3) the individual is at least 18 years old, 4) the individual is a voluntary program
participant, stating a willingness to participate in services, and 5) the individual is willing to
agree to a Release of Information as necessary to allow the County, the Contractor, the City, and
any referral agencies to coordinate services. The Contractor shall have sole discretion to accept
or decline City referred individuals. The County may change or establish additional criteria for
eligibility at any time. The County will make reasonable effort to provide notice of any changes
in eligibility criteria to the Contractor and City in advance of implementation of any change.
4.2 Denial. If an individual referred by the City is denied participation in the Diversion Center
Program, the Contractor shall notify the referring social services professional or law
enforcement officer of the non-acceptance and the reason for the non-acceptance. Notification
may be made immediately in person to the City representative.
4.3 Diversion Center Limits. The County shall have the right to set the number of City
referred participants in the Diversion Center program. The County’s administrator shall have
the final authority in determining the maximum number of concurrent participants a City may
have.
4.4 Participant Removal. The Contractor reserves the right to remove an accepted
participant at any time. The Contractor will notify the City of its decision to remove the
participant. The City shall facilitate the return/transport of the individual back to his/her
community (jurisdiction).
4.5 Voluntary Participant Exit. If a participant chooses to leave the Diversion Center
independent of a planned program exit or removal, the City shall facilitate the return/transport
of the individual back to his/her community (jurisdiction).
5. City Responsibilities.
5.1 Embedded social services professional. The City shall employ or contract with a law
enforcement embedded social services professional and/or have a program modeled after the

Human Services Department. Social service professionals shall be assigned to work in the field
with City law enforcement officers to establish contact and relationships with potential
participants prior to transporting to the Diversion Center.

City of Arlington
IGA-2026-01
Page 3 of 7
5.2 Medical Screening. The City shall facilitate transport of the referred individual to the
Diversion Center. Individuals must successfully complete the Diversion Center’s medical
screening to move forward in the eligibility criteria review. If the referred individual does not
successfully complete the medical screening, the City will return the individual to their
community (jurisdiction) or transport the individual to the hospital or walk-in medical clinic for
further screening, if medically necessary or otherwise indicated. If the individual is medically
cleared at a medical facility and if there is still an available spot at the Diversion Center, the City
may return the individual to the Diversion Center to complete the intake process.
5.3 Participant case management by City. The City will designate at least one social
services professional to remain engaged with each City participant staying at the Diversion
Center and will require the social services professional to contact the City participant no less
frequently than weekly. The social services professional will review the City participant’s
progress in the program. The City social services professional is expected to provide case
management services, monitor participant progress, and while the participant is staying at the
Diversion Center, actively seek out post-Diversion Center services, including but not limited to,
behavioral health treatment and housing.
5.5 Transportation. The City shall pay for transportation for City participants to and from
the Diversion Center. Transportation needs may include but are not limited to treatment,
medical appointments, other services, or court as needed.
5.6 Responsive to third party Contractor. The Contractor responsible for administering the
Diversion Center Program may contact the City to discuss a participant referred by that City.
The City shall respond to any contact from the Contractor about a participant within one (1)
business day.
5.7 City provides discharge items. The City shall provide discharge supplies or items for City
participants, as needed, upon discharge from the Diversion Center. Supplies may include but are
not limited to: a duffel bag or backpack, clothing/footwear, and transportation fare.
6. Cost to City. There is no fee for City use of the Diversion Center, given that the current
operations are fully supported through dedicated Washington State funding and Snohomish County
Chemical Dependency and Mental Health tax revenue. In the event that funding from either source is
reduced to the extent that other local sources of funding are necessary, the parties agree That the
County will give notice the funding source has ended. If that happens, the City may take person out of
programming or pay actual costs of services to the County.
7. Incidental Costs. In the event a City participant needs incidental items or services, including any
associated service fees, the City shall be responsible for coordinating payment for those incidental costs
directly to the provider.
8. Voluntary participation. Participation in the Diversion Center program is voluntary. To maintain
the integrity of the program and the safety of participants, individuals may be removed from the
Diversion Center program at any time, at the discretion of County or Contractor.

Meet Me in Arington Report
Introduction
Meet Me in Arlington is a destination marketing platform that supports local economic activity by promoting Arlington
businesses, events, and visitor experiences and encouraging residents and visitors to shop, dine, and explore locally.
Marketing Update
We’re keeping the momentum going with the Meet Me in Arlington campaign by highlighting Arlington businesses,
community events, and unique places to explore in Arlington.
Spring content highlights shopping, dining, seasonal promotions, partner events, local markets, ribbon cuttings, holidays
such as Mother’s Day and Easter, Women’s Day, and other special events, along with destination-focused features that
encourage visitors to explore Arlington. This includes the County partnership campaign, “Come for the Match, Stay to
Explore Arlington,” and grant-supported promotion of local watch parties.
Audience and Metrics Snapshot
•Top audience areas remain Arlington, Marysville, and nearby communities.
•Primary audience age range is 25–54, with the strongest segment in the 35–44 range.
•The audience on both Instagram and Facebook remains predominantly women.
•March was the strongest month for reach, engagement, and follower growth across both platforms.
•Both platforms gained followers each month during the reporting period.
Goals Based on Metrics
•Spring results show strong engagement with content featuring multiple businesses, seasonal themes, and
popular community events.
•Partnering with businesses that have strong followings helps expand reach through shared content and will
continue to guide summer planning.
•The City is refining the shopping and e-commerce features on the Meet Me in Arlington website to simplify the
user experience, highlight current offerings, and encourage in-person visits.
