SPECIAL PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE
Minutes of Monday, February 13, 2012
COMMITTEE MEMBERS PRESENT:
Committee Chair Elizabeth Albertson and committee members Dennis Higgins and
Dana Ralph were present. The meeting was called to order at 4:05 p.m.
Item 1— Approval of Minutes Dated February 6, 2012:
Higgins MOVED to approve the minutes of February 6, 2012. The motion
was SECONDED by Ralph and PASSED 3-0.
Item 2 —Washington Recreation and Conservation Office Grant/Downey
Farmstead Restoration Proiect:
Environmental Supervisor, Alex Murillo shared with committee members that the
City was awarded a total of $253,581 in Grant funds for this project. He went on to
give an informative PowerPoint presentation showing the location and several
preliminary conceptual designs of the project. Murillo stated that a secondary goal
of the project is to create additional flood storage to help alleviate flood damage to
nearby urban and agricultural areas.
Funds from this grant will be used to cover the cost of final design plans and
specifications, permitting and construction cost estimate. After completing this
work, we will apply for grant funds to construct the project. Once completed, the
Downey Farmstead project will serve as another example of Kent's commitment to
balancing the habitat qualities of the Green River with flood conveyance.
The City has already received a grant for $46,419.00 from the King Conservation
District. This will be used as matching funds for the RCO grant. Thus, the RCO
grant of $253,581.00 will bring a total of $300,000.00 to fund the project. No city
funds are required.
Ralph MOVED to recommend Council authorize the Mayor to sign the
Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) grant in the
amount of $253,581.00 and direct staff to establish a budget for the funds
to be spent within the Downey Farmstead Restoration Project, subject to
final terms and conditions acceptable to the City Attorney and Public
Works Director. The motion was SECONDED by Higgins and PASSED 3-0.
Item 3 — Contract/JA Brennan Associates, PLLC — Levee Wall Aesthetics
Design and Irrigation Design at the Boeing Levee:
Environmental Engineer, Toby Hallock gave an informative PowerPoint presentation.
He noted that the consultants hired to certify the Boeing Levee found deficiencies in
the north end of the levee segment at the Three Friends Fishing Hole Park.
Proposed improvements include a secondary levee and floodwall which will address
these deficiencies. This work is necessary for FEMA Accreditation of the Boeing
Levee.
The proposed consultant services contract with JA Brennan Associates provides for
an architectural finish of the proposed floodwall. The consultant will consider the
Page 1 of 4

SPECIAL PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE
Minutes of Monday, February 13, 2012
existing features and aesthetics of the Three Friends Fishing Hole Park to prepare a
wall design that blends well with the park surroundings. This contract also includes
redesign of the irrigation system to maintain lawn and plantings after flood
protection improvements are in place. Public Works and Parks staff have reviewed
and agreed on this proposed contract.
LaPorte noted that Engineering staff has been working closely with Parks staff on
this project.
Higgins MOVED to recommend Council authorize the Mayor to sign a
Consultant Services Contract Agreement with JA Brennan Associates for
Levee Wall Aesthetic Design and Irrigation Design at Three Friends Fishing
Hole Park for the Boeing Levee Project in the amount not to exceed
$28,793.00, subject to final terms and conditions acceptable to the City
Attorney and Public Works Director. The motion was SECONDED by Ralph
and PASSED 3-0.
Item 4 — Contract/GEI Consultants — Briscoe Desimone Levee Certification:
Design Engineering Manager, Mark Howlett gave an informative PowerPoint
presentation. He noted that this contract will provide the City a complete package
for submitting a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Conditional Letter
of Map Revision (CLOMR) for the levee section on the right bank.
Howlett stated that roughly half of the levee is in Tukwila and that the City is
looking at funding help from Tukwila. Renton is also interested in assistance and
backing.
Howlett further noted that due to existing development behind these levees, areas
requiring reconstruction for FEMA accreditation will utilize some form of
underground reinforcement or shoring. Construction of these improvements is
costly, but necessary if existing businesses and infrastructures are to remain in
place.
Ralph MOVED to recommend Council authorize the Mayor to sign a
Consultant Services Agreement with GEI Consultants, Inc. to perform
analysis and certification of the Desimone and Briscoe Levees in an amount
not to exceed $284,883 upon concurrence of the language therein by the
City Attorney and Public Works Director. The motion was SECONDED by
Higgins and PASSED 3-0.

SPECIAL PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE
Minutes of Monday, February 13, 2012
Item 5 — Contract/PACE Engineering — James Street Pump Station:
Design Engineering Supervisor, Kelly Casteel explained that the James Street
Stormwater Pump Station located just north of James Street near Woodford Ave N.
can no longer keep up with existing flows on James Street. This new pump station
will help alleviate local flooding of James Street at Mill Creek.
Casteel further noted the footprint isn't big enough and that staff is looking at
acquiring a small residential property and that an easement will be needed from the
School District.
Higgins MOVED to recommend Council authorize the Mayor to sign a
Consultant Services Agreement with PACE Engineers, Inc. for civil,
geotechnical, and electrical services for the James Street Pump Station in
an amount not to exceed $58,187, subject to final terms and conditions
acceptable to the City Attorney and Public Works Director. The motion
was SECONDED by Ralph and PASSED 3-0.
Item 6 — Contract/AECOM — Structural Engineering Design for Retaining Walls
— Horseshoe Bend :
Design Engineering Supervisor, Mark Madfai gave an informative PowerPoint
presentation. He explained that as part of the certification of the Horseshoe Bend
Levee, the City must construct a secondary levee along a portion of the east and
west ends of the Horseshoe Bend Levee.
Madfai stated that in most areas the levee consists of an earthen berm or a raised
roadway embankment. However, in areas where there is limited space, a levee
retaining wall will be constructed. The wall will be between 5.5 ft and 6 ft tall.
Staff has met several times with the condominium owners in the area.
All costs associated with this agreement will be paid by the Department of Ecology via
a $10 million grant for the Horseshoe Bend Levee. Construction is due to begin in
2012.
Ralph MOVED to recommend Council authorize the Mayor to sign a contract
with AECOM Technical Services Inc. in an amount not to exceed
$49,142.28 for structural engineering for levee retaining walls on the
Horseshoe Bend Levee subject to final terms and conditions acceptable to
the City Attorney and Public Works Director. The motion was SECONDED
by Higgins and PASSED 3-0.

SPECIAL PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE
Minutes of Monday, February 13, 2012
Item 7 — Proposed Local Improvement District (L.I.D.) #364 — SE 256th Street
(Kent-Kanaley Road to 116th Ave SE):
Design Engineering Supervisor, Mark Madfai showed several photos of the area
depicting the condition of the roads and the pedestrian traffic. He stated that he is
here to request authorized to move forward with the formation of a local
Improvement District. He went on to note that this is an unfinished gap on S 256th
street that has gravel shoulders, poor lighting, a two lane road and no sidewalks.
There are over 1,200 apartment units; with over 250 children a day that wait for
school buses; and over a 140 buses that run from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. daily.
Public Works Director, Tim LaPorte noted that we are at a critical juncture. The
Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) has been one of our best funding
partners; it is time for us to move ahead with the project or give the money back.
LaPorte explained that once the L.I.D. is formed Finance sells Municipal bonds to
investors. They will have 15 years to pay which would start two years after the
L.I.D. is formed property owners have the option of paying the L.I.D. assessment in
full or they can pays 1/15th with interest or pay it off in full or they can pay an
annual charge of 1/15 of the principal plus interest on the outstanding balance.
Higgins MOVED to recommend Council authorize the Mayor to direct staff
to proceed with the formation of Local Improvement District #364. The
motion was SECONDED by Ralph and PASSED 3-0.
Item 8 — Information Only/Sanitary Pump Station:
Interim Operations Manager, Dave Brock presented an informative PowerPoint
presentation explaining how sewage moves through the system and where it goes
after it leaves the City system; an explanation of what a pump station is and what
they do; an overview of each pump station, maintenance of pump stations, and
future improvements.
Information Only/No Motion Required
Item 9 — Information Only/2012 Work Plan:

Subject: Request from the Kent Regional Fire Authority for the 72"d
Avenue South Extension
Item - 2
Motion:
Move to recommend Council authorize the Mayor to send a letter to the
Kent Regional Fire Authority requesting a contribution of $600,000 to the
72"d Avenue South Extension project.
Summary:
72nd Avenue South currently runs from South 180th Street to South 228th Street with
a missing segment between South 196th Street and South 200th Street. The 72nd
Avenue South Extension project will complete the missing link and provide
connectivity to the north end of the industrial area between West Valley Highway
and the Union Pacific Railroad tracks.
The Kent Regional Fire Authority (RFA), (formerly Kent Fire Department) has
supported the 72nd Avenue South project for a number of years. This project will
benefit the RFA by reducing travel and response times, and allow the RFA to meet
adopted level of service to the areas north and east of the missing roadway section.
Response times will be improved to 215 land parcels. In fact, the RFA is considering
building another Fire Station if the 72nd Avenue South Extension was not to be
constructed. The total project cost is $2,400,000. The City has been awarded a
roughly $1,200,000 grant from the Washington State Transportation Improvement
Board (TIB), leaving $1,200,000 to be funded.
Regional drainage improvements for the project will be about $600,000. Knowing
the benefit of the project to the RFA, City and RFA staff have discussed a financial
contribution to the project. RFA staff believe a contribution of $600,000 could be
supported by the RFA Board, based on a request from the City.
Budget Impact:
The Regional Fire Authority contribution would provide matching funds for the 72nd
Avenue South extension.

Agreement 72"d Avenue South Extension Grant
Item - 3
Motion:
Move to recommend Council authorize the Mayor to sign the Washington
State Transportation Improvement Board Fuel Tax Grant Distribution
Agreement for the 72"d Avenue S. Extension subject to final terms and
conditions acceptable to the City Attorney and Public Works Director.
Summary: 72nd Avenue S. currently runs from S. 180th Street to S. 228th Street with a
missing segment between S. 196th Street and S. 200th Street. The 72nd Avenue S.
Extension Project will complete the missing link and provide connectivity to the north end
of the industrial area between West Valley Highway and the Union Pacific Railroad tracks.
The project has been planned for a number of years, but was slowed due to
environmental issues. This project lies partially within the Western Processing Superfund
site, a federal toxic cleanup site, under the jurisdiction of the Environmental Protection
Agency. Since the mid 1990's, Public Works has been working with the Western
Processing Trust, which is being administered by the Boeing Company, to complete
roadway improvements along S. 196th Street and for the future 72nd Avenue S. extension.
The City has acquired most of the right-of-way necessary to construct the roadway. In
2011, the last large piece of right-of-way was obtained from the Boeing Company. Only
one small section of right-of-way is required from Western Processing.
The City competed for and was successful in receiving a grant from the Washington State
Transportation Improvement Board for $1,182,420 which is roughly 50% of the estimated
$2,400,000 project cost to complete the 72nd Avenue South Extension.
Budget Impact: The City's matching share is $1,200,000; Engineering is exploring
funding options with the Regional Fire Authority, which has an interest in seeing the
project completed because it would reduce response times in the north end of the valley.

and other documents necessary to accept property from the Washington
State Department of Transportation subject to final terms and conditions
acceptable to the City Attorney and Public Works Director.
Summary:
In the mid-1960's, the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT)
acquired property adjacent to the future State Route 167 to provide access for
construction vehicles. Since then, these properties have been used as public roads.
Typically, WSDOT would surplus these properties to the local jurisdiction. However,
this never happened, and the oversight was not discovered until the City started
pursuing property rights for the S. 224th Street Project.
As a "housecleaning" measure, WSDOT is surplusing these properties to the city at
no cost. This will save the city a significant amount of money versus purchasing a
similar area for right-of-way.
Budget Impact:
The property is being surplused to the City at no cost other than recording fees.
Document recording fees will come out of the S. 224th Street Project.

Date: February 13, 2012
To: Chair Elizabeth Albertson and Public Works Committee Members
PW Committee Meeting Date: March 5, 2012
From: Mark Howlett, P.E., Design Engineering Manager
Through: Timothy J. LaPorte, P.E., Public Works Director
Subject: South 224th Street Project (East Valley Highway to SR 515) LID
363 - Set Final Assessment Hearing Date
Item - 6
Motion:
Move to recommend that the City Council set in the Kent City Council
Chambers as the date, time and place for the public hearing
to confirm the final assessment roll for Local Improvement District No. 363,
and to designate the Public Works Committee to act as the Board of
Equalization for that hearing.
Summary: The S. 228th/224th Street Corridor has been planned since the mid-80's.
The need for this arterial corridor was forecast as additional growth on the East Hill
plateau required the need for arterial corridors to connect with the SR-167 and I-5
freeways. The S. 224th Street project is the easterly section of the corridor, the
westerly section (S. 228th St. Extension) was completed in 2007. Commercial and
residential developments in the area of this road improvement project constructed
since 1986 were allowed, provided the easterly section would be built to accommodate
the additional traffic generated. Each development was required to sign an
Environmental Mitigation Agreement (EMA), agreeing to fund a portion of the project
via an upfront contribution or by taking part in a Local Improvement District to pay
the obligation over time.
Many property owners have already paid their obligations however, a majority, have
not. In order to proceed with this project, the City Council formed L.I.D. 363 on
December 9, 2008 and directed staff to proceed with the project. Construction on a
portion of the project along S. 218th Street will start in 2013. The L.I.D. would be
finalized in 2012 in order to sell L.I.D. bonds and provide roughly $11-million of the
$25-million total project cost. Work is anticipated to begin with improvements on S.
216th/218th Streets, improving existing roadways in preparation for a new bridge over
SR 167, and the additional traffic that will use the new connection. We are ready to
finalize the L.I.D. to secure the L.I.D. funding. Completing this step will also increase
the likelihood of state or federal grant awards. The next step is to schedule the public
hearing on the confirmation of the final assessment roll.
38
Budget Impact: The final L.I.D. assessment roll totals $9,242,237.78 which is the
same as the preliminary assessment roll except for a few reductions due to
prepayments and adjusted assessments. Prepayments total $2,015,963.67. Total
EMA obligations total $11,258,201.45.
There are no City owned properties to be assessed.
For additional information and details about the project and the L.I.D.,
see Attachment W.

Attachment 'A'
LOCAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT (L.I.D.) 363:
224th Street Proiect (East Valley Highway to SR 515)
ENVIRONMENTAL MITIGATION AGREEMENTS (EMAs):
When properties within the specified boundary were developed to its current use, the
property owner or the developer entered into a S. 224th/228th Corridor Easterly
Section (S. 224th Street Project) "Environmental Mitigation Agreement" (EMA) with the
City of Kent. This contract was created as a "covenant" tied to real property. The title
report for the property should reflect the existence of this agreement as an
encumbrance on the title to the property. The current property owner is bound by the
contract to pay off the contractual obligation of the EMA.
The property owner or property's developer entered into this contact to mitigate, in
part, environmental impacts to the City's transportation system. Because the
development of the property added traffic to the City's transportation system, the City
required the owner of the property to either construct enough transportation
improvements (e.g. adding lanes, signals, street lighting, etc.) to mitigate those
adverse impacts or, in the alternative, to enter into this mitigation contract. The City
accepted the contract as satisfactory alternative mitigation because it committed the
property to participate in the funding of the City's S. 224th Street Project, which will
help relieve localized traffic congestion. Even if traffic generated by the property does
not use the corridor, the corridor will relieve traffic congestion on other roads that the
traffic does use. Therefore, the corridor will help mitigate traffic impacts created by
the development of the property.
Briefly stated, the contractual commitment is (a) to not protest the formation of the S.
224th Street Project Local Improvement District (L.I.D.), or (b) if no L.I.D. is formed,
to pay an established dollar amount ten years from the date of the contract.
The City pursued the formation of the L.I.D. to secure the funding obligation of the
EMAs.
LOCAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT FINANCING:
L.I.D. formations are authorized and governed by state law. Payment of the cost is
spread over time. After the City Council approves the L.I.D. final assessment roll, the
City will complete design of the project, advertise for bids and award a contract to
build the project. The City arranges interim financing to fund the project during
construction and then assesses the properties involved. The assessments can be paid
in full with one interest free payment during a 30-day prepayment period following
approval of the final assessment roll or, it can be paid in yearly installments, 1/15th of
the principal plus interest on the unpaid balance per year, over a fifteen year period.
The City sells L.I.D. bonds to cover the amount of the unpaid assessments after the
prepayment period. The funds collected through the assessments are used to retire
the bonds. The market determines the interest rate at the time the L.I.D. bonds are
sold to the public.
40
PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE S. 224th STREET PROJECT:
The overall project limits are East Valley Highway to the west and 108th Ave SE (SR
515, Benson Highway) to the east. See the attached project map. The roadway
improvements will be built in accordance with the 3-lane alternative which was
selected by the Kent City Council during the SEPA process.
The roadway will be three lanes beginning on the valley floor at the intersection of
East Valley Highway and S. 224th Street. It will cross over SR 167 and climb up the
Kent East Hill via S. 218th/216th Street, terminating at the intersection of Benson Road
and S. 216th Street. The new roadway will be roughly 1.8 miles long, and will include
curbs, gutters and sidewalks on both sides of the street, a two—way left turn lane,
planted center medians where possible, roadside planter strips, street lighting,
undergrounding of overhead electrical facilities, storm water management facilities, a
bridge over SR 167, a new Garrison Creek bridge and other appurtenances.
Please note that the S. 224th Street project will complete the 224th/228th corridor from
SR 515 to I-5 providing a new route for traffic traveling between Kent's east hill and
west hill. A recent project extended S. 228th Street up the west hill to Military Road
connecting to I-5. A new bridge on S. 228th Street over the Burlington Northern
tracks just east of 2"d Ave was also completed. Also, a grade separation project is in
the planning stage for the Union Pacific tracks west of 6th Avenue. The grade
separation projects will eliminate traffic congestion due to train traffic and will reduce
travel time on the new corridor.
NEED FOR THE IMPROVEMENTS:
The purpose of the S. 224th Street Project is to reduce existing and forecasted east-
west traffic congestion between Kent's East Hill and the Green River valley. The S.
224th Street project will increase the east-west traffic volume capacity between the
East Hill and the valley floor within the area bordered by S. 212th/208th Street and
James Street (SE 240th Street), thus reducing travel times. Existing and forecasted
traffic congestion in the area adversely impacts travel times, air quality, energy
consumption, emergency vehicle response time and the overall quality of life for
people living and working in and around Kent.
Major intersections on S. 212th/208th Street and James Street are near or over
capacity. Improvements to either S. 212th /208th Street or James Street would be
difficult to implement due to restrictions related to existing topography and right-of-
way requirements. Improvements on these roadways would not distribute traffic
effectively enough to improve traffic congestion.
The project will:
• Increase east-west traffic in the valley to meet the traffic demands created by
existing and future development anticipated in the City's Comprehensive Land
Use Plan, in a manner which does not result in a large number of significant
environmental impacts.
• Implement adopted and proposed land use plans that meet the general
transportation concurrency goals of the Growth Management Act (GMA). The S.
224th Street Project will help meet concurrency requirements, provide additional
41
roadway capacity for improved travel times, and create a new east-west
collector roadway for existing and future development on the East Hill.
• Reduce travel times on east-west routes connecting Kent's East Hill with the
valley.
• Provide an additional emergency vehicle access route to serve residences and
businesses on the East Hill and in the valley.
• Replace the existing Garrison Creek Bridge on S. 218th Street to reduce
maintenance and meet the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife
(WSFW) permit requirements.
• Improve storm water quality and control runoff volumes in Garrison Creek
through construction of new storm water detention and treatment facilities
related to the proposal.
• Improve safety along the route by installing street lights and constructing
sidewalks.
• Complete the utility system along the route to provide utility service to
currently unserviced properties. This prevents the new road from being cut at a
future date to install the utilities.
ASSESSMENT METHOD:
The L.I.D. was formed to allow the EMA obligation to be paid over time. The L.I.D.
assessment is the amount of the obligation specified in the EMA for each property
adjusted as explained below.
The dollar amount of the obligation was based on daily traffic trips generated from the
property during the afternoon "peak" traffic time (3:00 pm to 7:00 pm). For example,
single family residential properties are assessed for one peak hour trip per residence.
Trips for business properties are based on the development. In nearly all instances,
the agreed upon dollar amount per trip was $1,076.00, however, this amount was
valued in 1986 dollars and the EMA includes adjustments for inflation based on the
Consumer Price Index (CPI). The factor was 1.98 at the time of formation resulting in
the trip amount of $2,130.48. There were no increases once the L.I.D. was formed.
SPECIAL BENEFIT TO L.I.D. PROPERTIES:
When discussing L.I.D. projects, benefit received is an important issue. Benefit is
defined as the increase in property value brought about as a direct result of the L.I.D.
improvements. L.I.D. assessments can be less than or equal to the benefit received.
In the case of the S. 224th Street project, properties included in the L.I.D. signed
environmental mitigation agreements as part of the development process. These
properties were allowed to develop based on the fact that the corridor would
eventually be built to handle the increase in traffic caused by the development and
meet concurrency requirements under the Growth Management Act. If it were not for
the corridor project, these properties would not have been permitted to develop. This
is a significant benefit since development of the property increased its value.
FINAL ASSESSMENTS:
In this case, the L.I.D. assessments are equal to the EMA obligation. The L.I.D. is a
mechanism for the property owners to pay their obligation. The City is entitled to a
42
presumption of benefit, unless this presumption is nullified by expert testimony such
as an appraisal. A final assessment hearing will be held soon. Property owners will be
provided notice of this hearing and will have the opportunity to protest the amount of
the assessment by submitting proof that the assessment exceeds the benefit to their
property. One form of such proof would be an appraisal showing the value of the
property before and after construction of the improvements.
PAYMENT OF ASSESSMENT:
Upon Council passing the Ordinance confirming the Final Assessment Roll, the
property owner will receive notice of the start of a 30-day period in which any portion
or all of the assessment can be paid without interest charges. After the 30-day
period, the balance not prepaid is paid over a fifteen-year period wherein each year's
payment is one-fifteenth of the principal plus interest on the unpaid balance. The first
yearly payment is due approximately one year after the 30 day prepayment period
depending on when the bonds are sold. The market determines the interest rate at
the time the L.I.D. bonds are sold to the public. The property owner will receive a
billing notice from the City each year. The table below shows and estimated yearly
payment schedule for one trip. The L.I.D. assessment can be paid off during the 15-
year payback period without an interest penalty.

Subject: South 228th, Willis Street and 212th Grade Separation Freight
Mobility Strategic Investment Board (FMSIB) Letter
Item - 11
Draft motions will be presented at the committee meeting based on
discussion from the Committee.
Summary: The attached letter from Karen Schmidt, Executive Director of the
Washington State Freight Mobility Strategic Investment Board (FMSIB), to Mayor
Cooke outlines the need for a Council decision on FMSIB-sponsored railroad grade
separation projects at S. 228th Street, S. 212th Street and Willis Street. As noted in
the letter, Kent has been granted $3.25-million for S. 228th St/Union Pacific
(awarded in 2000), $10-million for S. 212th St/UP & BNSF (awarded in 2004), and
$4-million for Willis St/UP & BNSF (awarded in 2004). Projects that do not have a
viable financing plan and project schedule will be moved to the deferred projects list
by the FMSIB Board at the May 23, 2012 meeting in Yakima.
The $3.25-million available for S. 228th St/UP was originally awarded as part of
$8.5-million for the S. 228th Street Corridor. The S. 228th Street Corridor is a three
phase project: Phase I - S. 228th St Extension ($2-million FMSIB funding, completed
in 2006), Phase II - S. 228th St/BNSF ($3.25-million FMSIB funding, completed in
2008) and Phase III - S. 228th St/UP ($3.25-million FMSIB funding available). The
City is committed to construct the S. 228th St/UP project because grant funds were
used across the first two phases of the project. On Willis St. and S. 212th St, no
funds have been expended that would require the city to complete either project.
There is an existing, $800,000, no-match federal grant on Willis Street that can be
used to complete analysis of the project without requiring build out under a specified
timeframe.
As noted in the letter, projects placed on the FMSIB Deferred Projects List may or
may not be eligible for funding at a later date depending on availability of funds.

Dear � woke:
Board Members "mil
The Board will be reviewing the Kent projects, currently on the FMSIB active list, at
.lim Albert the May 23, 2012 meeting.
Cliff Benson Last year the Board reviewed the three Kent projects and the lack of progress in
completing the funding package needed for the projects to advance to the construction
John Creighton phase. At that time,they
y granted an extension of the decision to defer the project
Dave Adler allowing the city time to develop a realistic funding plan and project construction
timeline. The Board will make their determination at our May 23, 2012 meeting.
Tony Finn
Rebecca Franeik If the project funding plan is not progressing to close the funding gap,your project or
projects will be placed on the FMSIB Deferred Project list and the funds will be
Dave Gossett distributed to other FMSIB projects that can advance. There is no guarantee that if your
Paula Hammond project is placed on the deferred list, and later can be reactivated,that the funding will
be available. Currently FMSIB has $3.25 M for the S. 228th UP crossing, $10 M for
Steve Iloltgeetts S. 212" St BNSF/UP Grade Separations and $4 M for the Willis St BNSF/UP Grade
Larry Paulson Separations. In all, $17.25 M in funding is in question.
Brien Ziegler I would Pike to meet with you and the appropriate council members to discuss the plans
you are making to fund S. 228`h St. Union Pacific Grade Separation, S. 212th BNSF &
Web site UP Grade Separations and Willis Street BNSF &UP Grade Separations. The Board
irinv&sib"'"or, will need to know that a secure funding plan has been approved and the City is moving
forward to implement it. Depending upon our discussion,you may want to address the
Board directly at the March 16d'Board Meeting in Tacoma. (The May meeting will be
in Yakima). Please advise when we can meet.
Cordi4l�'
Karen Schmidt
Executive Director
