LEGAL REVIEW:
DESCRIPTION:
The Police Department has a ballistic vest that is used and was custom fitted for an employee
that will be ending employment with the City as of June 30, 2012. This vest is no longer viable
for current or future use due to the nature of the custom fit and hygienic condition, and needs
to be sold as surplus. The employee will be commencing employment with the Stillaguamish
Police Department in July and they have shown interest in purchasing the ballistic vest for the
employee’s use for the remaining useful life of the vest.
HISTORY:
The vest was purchased in January 2009 for a specific employee as a full-time patrol
uniform/equipment item at a cost of $834.91 and has a 5-year manufacturer’s warranty. The
vest has been used for 42 of its 60 month warranty period and is currently valued at $250.47.
The vest has been worn by only one person for this duration and subject to a variety of
conditions. These vests must be custom fitted to function correctly and only the cloth carriers
can be thoroughly cleaned.

LEGAL REVIEW:
DESCRIPTION:
Staff is recommending the extension of the moratorium on medical marijuana dispensaries for
another 6 months until additional direction is provided by the State legislature.
HISTORY:
Collective Gardens were authorized by the Legislature in 2011. Council approved a
moratorium on August 15, 2011 and followed-up with a public hearing within 60-days as
required by State Law. On October 3, 2011 Council held the public hearing and adopted
findings of fact in an ordinance to extend the moratorium to a full year. A work program was
established to review proposed regulations between Lake Stevens, Marysville and Arlington to
ensure consistency between the jurisdictions. Lake Stevens developed the draft regulations
found in this report and prepared for public hearings. They changed course and recently
decided to pursue an additional moratorium. Marysville decided to pursue an additional
moratorium as well.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Develop language that would extend the current moratorium beyond August 15, 2012.
2. Do not develop language that would extend the current moratorium beyond August 15,
2012.
3. Continue research and development leading to the proposal of regulations in the Land-
Use Code that would govern medical cannabis collective gardens, prior the moratorium
deadline of August 15, 2012.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Council is requested to hold a public hearing on the ordinance extending the moratorium on
the establishment of medical marijuana dispensaries, collective gardens, and the licensing
permitting thereof. Action by the Council would be requested no later than the August 6, 2012
meeting.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ARLINGTON, WASHINGTON,
ADOPTING FINDINGS OF FACT IN SUPPORT OF A MORATORIUM
ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OF MEDICAL MARIJUANA
DISPENSARIES, COLLECTIVE GARDENS AND THE LICENSING AND
PERMITTING THEREOF AND EXTEND THE MORATORIUM FOR SIX
MONTHS
WHEREAS, the City Council on August 15, 2011 imposed a moratorium on the
acceptance of certain development applications relating to medical marijuana gardens for a
period of up to six months and further conducted a public hearing on the proposed regulations on
October 3, 2011 in accordance with RCW 35A.63.220 and RCW 36.70A.390, and at that
meeting, extended the moratorium for a full year; and
WHEREAS, the City Council adopted a work plan in October 2011; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on June 19, 2012 to
consider amendments to Title 20 – Land Use Code, with regards to new regulations for medical
cannabis collective gardens; and
WHEREAS, the City Council on July 2, 2012, after considering the public comment
taken and information provided by staff, and due to continued uncertainty from the State
Legislature regarding such uses deems it to remain in the public interest to have the moratorium
related to medical marijuana dispensaries, collective gardens and permitting extended for six
months until the City can consider all of the land use impacts of collective gardens, draft
regulations, hold hearings and adopt regulations on the subject in light of the new legislation; and
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Arlington, Washington, do
ordain as follows:
Section 1. Findings. The City Council makes the following findings:
1. Initiative Measure No. 692, approved November 3, 1998, created an affirmative
defense for “qualifying patients” to the charge of possession of marijuana.
2. The initiative and current Chapter 69.51A RCW are clear that nothing in its provisions
are to be “construed to supersede Washington state law prohibiting the acquisition, possession,
manufacture, sale or use of marijuana for non-medical purposes”.
3. The Washington State Department of Health opines that it is “not legal to buy or sell”
medical marijuana and further opines that “the law [Chapter 69.51.A RCW] does not allow
dispensaries”, leaving enforcement to local officials.
Ordinance No. 2012-xxx 2
4. The City Council finds that the sale of marijuana, no matter how designated by
dispensaries, is prohibited by federal and state law.
5. ESSB 5073 – Chapter 181, Laws of 2011 (“the bill”) was adopted with a partial veto
of the Governor and becomes effective July 22, 2011.
6. Section 404 of the bill effectively eliminates medical marijuana dispensaries as a
legally viable model of operation under State law.
7. Section 403 of the bill provides that qualifying patients may create and participate in
collective gardens for the purpose of producing, processing, transporting and delivering cannabis
for medical use subject to compliance with specific statutory conditions.
8. The City acknowledges the right of qualified health care professionals to prescribe the
medical use of marijuana as well as the right of patients to designate a “designated provider”
who can “provide” rather than sell marijuana to “only one patient at any one time”.
9. As part of the process for the adoption of zoning regulations, the land use impacts of
medical marijuana or cannabis collective gardens, dispensaries, processing facilities and
production facilities must be identified.
10. Many jurisdictions around the country that have approved medical marijuana uses
have experienced numerous land use impacts, such as:
• conversion of residential uses into marijuana cultivation and processing facilities,
removing valuable housing stock in a community;
• degrading neighborhood aesthetics due to shuttered up homes, offensive odors,
increased night-time traffic, parking issues, and loitering from potential purchasers
looking to buy from a collective member;
• environmental damages from chemicals being discharged into surrounding and off-
site soil and storm and sanitary sewer systems;
• serious risk of fire hazard due to overloaded service connections used to operate grow
lights and fans;
• improper ventilation leading to high levels of moisture and mold;
• illegal structural modifications; and
• criminal issues such as home invasions, burglaries of medical marijuana facilities,
theft and property damage.
11. Pursuant to Section 1102 of the bill and under their general zoning and police powers
cities are authorized to adopt and enforce zoning requirements, business licensing requirements,
health and safety requirements and business taxes on the production, processing or dispensing of
cannabis or cannabis products.
12. Unless a moratorium is imposed, collective gardens may be established within the
City of Arlington while the City lacks the necessary tools to ensure that the location is
appropriate and that the secondary impacts of such facilities are minimized and mitigated.
Ordinance No. 2012-xxx 3
Section 2. In light of the uncertainty of State and Federal regulations, the City Council
further elects pursuant to RCW 36.70A.390 to extend the moratorium for six months from the
date after the expiration of the last moratorium, or until February 15, 2012.
Section 3. Severability. If any section, sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance
should be held to be unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity or
unconstitutionality shall not affect the validity or constitutionality of any other section, sentence,
clause or phrase of this ordinance.
Section 4. Publication. This ordinance shall be published by an approved summary
consisting of the title.
Section 5. Effective Date. This ordinance shall take effect and be in full force and effect
within five days after publication as provided by law.

LEGAL REVIEW:
DESCRIPTION:
Aces Casino is requesting to relocate their business from the existing site located at 5200 172nd
Street to the Buzz Inn Steak House, located at 17216 Smokey Point Drive. Currently, based on
Chapter 20.40, Permitted Uses, gambling establishments (Use 8.600 in Table 20.40-1: Table of

located in the Smokey Point Shopping Center (see attached map).
HISTORY:
Representatives from both Aces Casino and Buzz Inn originally approached the City in May
2011 to request relocation to the Buzz Inn site. In June 2011, staff denied the request based on
the 1000’ buffer criteria as noted in Chapter 20.40. Aces Casino approached the City again in
2012, requesting the relocation. Both the Planning Commission and City Council have
discussed this item at previous meetings, including public hearings at the June 5, 2012 Planning
Commission meeting and the June 19, 2012 City Council meeting. Amendments to AMC
3.32.050 regarding a tiered taxing system for multiple casinos will be discussed at a future
meeting.

DESCRIPTION:
2012 Asbestos Concrete (AC) replacement for aging water main on the West side of the
Airport and on Broadway Avenue. Bids were opened June 25, 2012. Lowest
responsive bidder was E&D Excavating at $254,296.49.
HISTORY:
The City has approximately 95 miles of water main and approximately 10% of is in
need of replacement in the short term. The highest priority areas for replacement are
pipes constructed with asbestos concrete material, due to the high failure rate of this
material. Staff evaluated the current water infrastructure and determined water mains
on the West side of the airport and Broadway Avenue were the highest priority for
2012. The amended estimated construction cost was $310,000, with submitted bids
being very favorable to the City.

RECOMMENDED MOTION:
I move to award the construction contract for the 2012 AC Water Main Replacement
Project to E&D Excavating for the amount of $254,296.49 and authorize the Mayor to
sign the contact, subject to review by the City Attorney.
