Interim Public Works Director, Chad Bieren discussed the possible re-
routing of vehicles near McDonalds, Taco Time and Chevron due to the
number of driveways along that road and the desired design. This will
need to be worked through with the owners of the franchises and will be
more of a subregional improvement.
Council discussed the improvements along 64th and Meeker and brought
up concerns regarding crosswalks and safety and what the plan is for
improvements along the north side.
Councilmember Boyce also brought up his concerns about the plan for
improving the appearance of the existing buildings along this area.
Bonsteel indicated that in order for the City to enforce anything it would
have to be a result of a code enforcement issue. Bieren is hopeful that in
the next few years there will be much more interest along this corridor for
other businesses, which open up opportunity to improve the appearance
of those buildings.
Councilmember Larimer inquired about the addition of vegetation to the
north side.
Councilmember Thomas brought up his concerns regarding the ability of
emergency vehicles to get through the road with the proposed
improvements. Bieren indicated that the light placement and sequencing
will allow for traffic to move through and provide access for those
emergency vehicles.
Bonsteel summed up by requesting Councils approval to pursue a design
that adjusts the promenade as shown. Bonsteel and her team want to
confirm that the design is acceptable to Council so that they are able to
move forward with planning.

K. Ordinance Authorizing the Transfer of Excess Local
Improvement District Guaranty Funds to the General Fund -
Adopt
Finance Director, Paula Painter presented on the Ordinance Authorizing the
Transfer of Excess Local Improvement District Guaranty Funds to the General
Fund.
Painter started by explaining the Local Improvement District Guaranty Fund
(Guaranty Fund) and how under RCW 35.54.095, any city maintaining a
Guaranty Fund, upon certification that there are sufficient funds on hand to
meet all outstanding and reasonably foreseeable obligations of the fund, may
by ordinance transfer assets to its General Fund. Given that there are no
outstanding bonds and therefore, no further obligations of the Guaranty
Fund, Painter proposes transferring the total remaining fund balance,
$118,651.20, to the General Fund.
Painter noted that with the 4th quarter budget amendment, these funds will
be reinvested into the Meet Me on Meeker project
MOTION: Adopt Ordinance No. 4385, transferring excess funds
from the Local Improvement District Guaranty Fund to the
General Fund, as allowed by RCW 35.54.095.

Balances in the PFM portfolio differ from the balances in reported for Q3 due to investment transactions that were initiated at the end of Q3, but settled in Q4.
Rebalancing the Portfolio
Investment Advisory Board Recommendation:
•Move an additional $70 million from the Local Government
Investment Pool (LGIP) to the PFM managed portfolio.
•Currently the PFM portfolio balance is $120 million.
•The additional investment would increase the PFM managed
portfolio to $190 million.
•Annual advisor fees are currently $92K per year.
•Fees will increase by $42K to $134K.
•Liquidity (cash and LGIP) will be 17% of the cash and investment
portfolio or $40 million at year end to cover cashflow needs.
•Next step: Update contract with PFM – coming soon
