4 PUBLIC RECOGNITION: Mayor Ryder recognized Carolyn Cox, Planning Commission, Bud Blake, County Commissioner, and Tom Nelson, FD3 Commissioner. Chief Brooks, Lacey Fire District 3, provided an update of the District s activities and events in He reported the District has re-established its improved survey and rating bureau classification, and noted that 80% of calls are for medical emergencies and 20% are related to fires. In addition, the District has expanded its joint fire service training with Olympia and Tumwater, and increased citizen participation in CPR training. Thanks to the support of the City and its citizens, there was a 67% approval of the levy restoration for Priorities in 2015 include $95M in new construction, maintaining staff levels without grant funding, a levy rate increase, an effort to enhance partnerships with the Nisqually Tribe, and increased community outreach and education. Erin Quinn-Valcho, Lacey Museum Curator, provided the 2014 Annual Report for the Lacey Museum. Last year, 830 volunteer hours were donated by citizens at a cost benefit of $22,000. The Museum exceeded its limit for most visitors in one year with 560 people visiting the facility. There were 166 museum tours, the promotion of Lacey History Month, classroom outreach, participation at information booths during community events, and providing museum access for customer service requests. Top priorities include fully documenting the collection, receiving grant funding to purchase database software, and highlighting acquisition of 80 artifacts. The Lacey Museum Depot project is moving forward with a 50% concept design completed for the new exhibit, and developing an architectural schematic design. PUBLIC COMMENTS: Ron Nesbitt, former Olympia Police Officer and revolutionary Black Nationalist, addressed Page 2 of 8

5 Council with concerns about a racially hostile environment in the Thurston region. ORDINANCES: Ordinance No amends the 2015 fiscal year budget and Ordinance No adopting said budget to re-appropriate 2014 budgeted amounts for projects not completed in COUNCILMEMBER GREENSTEIN MOVED TO ADOPT ORDINANCE NO TO AMEND THE 2015 BUDGET. COUNCILMEMBER CLARKSON SECONDED. MOTION CARRIED. Ordinance No authorizes the refunding of certain callable portions of the 2006 Limited Tax General Obligation, 2006 Unlimited Tax General Obligation and 2007 Limited Tax General Obligation Bonds. Using current market conditions, it is estimated that the bond refunding will result in a present value savings that exceeds 5.0 percent as required by adopted City Council fiscal policy. This will result in property tax savings for City of Lacey property owners. Current federal tax rules state that the proposed refunded bonds can only be advance refunded once. If rates fall below the refunding bond rates in the future, the City cannot take advantage of the savings. This risk is also considered small since interest rates are historically low and the bond principal is repaid rapidly over the remaining life of the bonds. COUNCILMEMBER GADMAN MOVED TO ADOPT ORDINANCE NO AUTHORIZING THE REFUNDING OF CERTAIN CALLABLE PORTIONS OF THE 2006 LIMITED TAX GENERAL OBLIGATION, 2006 UNLIMITED TAX GENERAL Page 3 of 8

SWAC Councilmember Steadman reported on statistics related to solid waste collections during the past year. TRPC Councilmember Clarkson reported the Annual TRPC Profile will only be available now in digital format due to cost increases. ADJOURNMENT: Mayor Ryder adjourned the Council meeting to a Worksession at 8:38 p.m. to discuss the Community Market. WORKSESSION: Liz Gotelli, Public Affairs & Human Resources Director, provided an update on several changes made to the Lacey Community Market in 2014 to improve attendance and the market experience. Changes included focusing on a mix of vendors rather than the number of vendors, changing the market lay-out to condense sale areas and draw visitors to the interior of the park, and creating customized posters/rack cards for each of the three markets. Additional changes included restoring Family Days as the theme in August, reducing Page 6 of 8

9 spending on radio spots and newspaper ads, and increasing spending on TV ads, internet ads, and printed material. The changes resulted in a 12% decrease in average vendors per day, a 30% increase in visitors, and an 8% increase in selected vendor sales. The market budget was $43,000, and the overall attendance of 4,500 was comparable to other market years. Staff has identified several challenges as the market moves forward into 2015 and beyond. Location: Although Huntamer Park has excellent amenities, it lacks the visibility from a major thoroughfare. This year s surveys indicated that most people heard about the Lacey market through word of mouth, posters, or social media. Market Manager: Compensation for the Market Manager now exceeds the threshold for requiring an RFQ. Of the $43,000 budget, $16,600 is allocated to the market manager position. The current market manager has been very successful in attracting a variety of vendors to participate. City staff has also invested significant time and a variety of resources in administering the program. Timing: The traditional July market date will conflict with the 2015 Lacey Chamber BBQ Fest, although the market may be included as part of Lacey Staycation in July. In addition, a full calendar of competing summer events in Lacey and surrounding areas makes it challenging to find suitable dates for the market. The Community Relations Committee received an update on November 3, 2014, and there was discussion about potentially suspending the market in 2015 to reassess its viability. Council discussed options related to the location, vendors, and conflicts with other community events, and agreed to suspend the Lacey Community Market in However, they requested that the City provide an opportunity for the popular Pet Days in some other venue during the summer. In addition, opportunities will be provided at other community events for the Council and Lacey Sister City Association to interact with the public. All vendors will be notified. Mayor Ryder adjourned the meeting at 9:04 p.m. Page 7 of 8

20 Meeting was called to order at 7:00 p.m. by Gail Madden. MINUTES Lacey Planning Commission Meeting Tuesday, December 2, :00 p.m. Lacey City Hall Council Chambers, 420 College Street SE Planning Commission members present: Gail Madden, Mike Beehler, Carolyn Cox, Paul Enns, Albert de Santis, and Carolyn St. Claire. Staff present: Ryan Andrews, Rick Walk, Christy Osborn, Brandon McAllister, Teri O Neal, and Leah Bender. Gail Madden noted a quorum present. Paul Enns made a motion, seconded by Carolyn St. Claire, to approve the agenda for tonight s meeting. The motion carried. Carolyn Cox made a motion, seconded by Carolyn St. Claire, to approve the November 18, 2014, meeting minutes. The motion carried. 1. Public Comments: None. 2. Commission Member s Report: None. 3. Director s Report: Rick Walk noted that the HVAC system is being updated during tonight s meeting. Rick informed Planning Commission that the street tree ordinance will go before Council for a work session on January 15, Rick noted that so far we have received six applications for the vacant Planning Commission position. Interviews will be set up in January. 4. Public Hearing: Wetland Buffer Rating System Revisions: Christy Osborn explained that Department of Ecology has updated the state wetland ratings system, which requires the City of Lacey to update the wetland chapter of the Critical Areas Ordinance and amend the Shoreline Master Program. Christy went over the changes and clarifications that were made. Christy stated that the Land Use Committee reviewed the draft and made no changes. The Committee suggested that staff contact Olympia Master Builders to allow them an opportunity to comment. Christy forwarded the draft to OMB, they had no comment. Christy noted that she received an from Carolyn Cox expressing concern about the in lieu fee. Christy explained that the section only allows the City to set up an in lieu program and the establishment of any program would require a separate public process. Carolyn Cox thanked staff for considering her comments and for clarifying the section. She stressed the importance of getting it right and noted that other jurisdictions have not done so and had problems arise later as a result. Carolyn St. Claire asked about the removal of the state manual and asked if the City complies with Federal or State. Christy explained that the State manual was done away with and the amended chapter makes it clear that we comply with the Federal manual, as has been done for several years. No public testimony was given. Mike Beehler made a motion, seconded by Carolyn Cox, to recommend the amendments to Council for adoption. All were in favor. The motion carried. 5. Old Business: Wastewater Comprehensive Plan: Ryan Andrews explained that a public hearing was held on November 4. The City received written comments from Bill Lynn, and Bob Patrick addressed Planning Commission, expressing the concerns of property owners in the area around 15 th Avenue NE related to the extension of sewer to the area. The property owners were concerned that installing gravity sewer and lift station in the area would be cost prohibitive for future potential development. Planning Commission agreed to wait one month before making a recommendation to Council. Brandon McAllister gave a summary of staff analysis and noted that the Wastewater Comp Plan is intended to be a planning tool and does not attempt to address sewer system design issues on a project specific level. Page 1 of 2

21 Brandon noted that property owners of some existing developments have been allowed to use STEP or grinder pump systems as part of a previous agreement with the City and because of immediate public health concerns for properties adjacent to Woodland Creek. Staff has determined that based on the topography and zoning for the area, the best option is a gravity/pump station sewer collection system. Bill Lynn addressed Planning Commission. He represents 3 s Company LLC and Caliber, and he and his clients appreciate that they were given more time, and hope that Planning Commission will consider their concerns. He explained that this project would be very cost prohibitive and very detrimental to his clients. Sewer connection costs would be so high that it would tie up projects for years. Mr. Lynn noted that latecomers and LID are not good options. Steve Hatton addressed Planning Commission. He noted that he had a client who owned property in that area. He suggested that the Comp Plan identify STEP as the preferred sewerage method because the previous client s properties have been divided into various ownerships and makes a gravity system less financially feasible because the capital costs would be borne by individual owners rather than just one larger ownership. Chris Cramer with Patrick Harron addressed Planning Commission. He explained that the cost for connections per lot would be estimated at $10,000 per lot and that it would make the cost so high that it would not be feasible to develop if the area developed out at the minimum density. He estimated that the cost of either STEP or grinder system would be estimated at about half of that cost. Ryan stated that even though the initial installation cost for STEP/grinder may be less expensive, the long term operations and maintenance cost would be higher and would be paid by the City through utility rates. Carolyn St. Claire pointed out that it is a fact of life that undeveloped areas will eventually be developed. She said Planning Commission should support the decision staff has made. Mike Beehler noted that the issues are beyond the scope of Planning Commission s knowledge and may not be appropriate for them to decide. Teri O Neal reiterated that the Wastewater Comp Plan is a planning tool and not intended to address specific projects and the reason this is being considered is because of the comment letter we received. The Plan does not address this specific area in question nor does it address what type of system is appropriate. Carolyn St. Claire made a motion, seconded by Mike Beehler, to recommend the Wastewater Comp Plan to Council. All were in favor. The motion carried. Ryan pointed out that the Plan will go before Council in July along with other Comp Plan updates. Sign Ordinance Update: Ryan Andrews noted that a public hearing was held on November 18. Planning Commission decided to give further consideration to the comment letter from the Wig Property Group. Ryan went through the draft ordinance and discussed changes that were made at the request of Wig Properties and Planning Commission. Rick noted that it has been suggested that the City develop, in conjunction with the Lacey Chamber and local businesses, a best practices document to have available at the front counter to aid business owners by discussing the challenges regarding the permit process, signage, location, etc. Carolyn St. Claire said the new ordinance is much better than the old one. Gail Madden commended Ryan for all the work he s done on the ordinance. Ryan noted that the Sign Ordinance Committee and the consultant did a great job. Paul Enns made a motion, seconded by Carolyn Cox, to forward the Sign Ordinance to Council. All were in favor. The motion carried. Carolyn Cox said Ryan did a great job addressing the Wig Property comments. 6. Communications and Announcements: Ryan informed Planning Commission that Peter Brooks will give a presentation regarding sewer and the Septic Summit in the near future. 7. Next meeting: December 16, Adjournment: 8:50 p.m. Page 2 of 2

22 Meeting was called to order at 7:00 p.m. by Gail Madden. MINUTES Lacey Planning Commission Meeting Tuesday, December 16, :00 p.m. Lacey City Hall Council Chambers, 420 College Street SE Planning Commission members present: Gail Madden, Carolyn Cox, and Carolyn St. Claire. Staff present: Ryan Andrews, Christy Osborn, and Leah Bender. Gail Madden noted there was not a quorum present. Minutes will be approved at the next meeting. 1. Public Comments: None. 2. Commission Member s Report: None. 3. Director s Report: Ryan Andrews noted that applicants for the vacant Planning Commission positions will be interviewed on Monday. 4. Old Business: Land Use Element Framework: Ryan Andrews noted that Planning Commission has already reviewed chapters one and two of the Land Use Element. Ryan went over chapter three and explained that staff is proposing the elimination of chapter three by reorganizing, consolidating, and incorporating it into chapter one. A suggestion was made to switch the order of the first two paragraphs of chapter three, section A. There was a discussion about what formats the final document will be available in. Ryan said hard copies of the plan will be available, and as a.pdf format on the website. Currently the LMC is managed by Code Publishing, and it is possible that the Comp Plan may also be managed that way in the future. Ryan explained that chapter four, public participation, may be removed and added as an appendix to the document for better flow and readability. Some concerns were expressed that in doing so it would make the chapter seem less important. Staff explained that the public participation element is used by other departments and is not strictly a planning document. As an appendix, it is more readily available to the other departments, more easily updated, and incorporated into other plans. Christy Osborn went over the proposed framework for the land use element. Staff proposes modifying the structure to include adding an Executive Summary; Chapter 1 Introduction; Chapter 2 Profile; incorporate Chapter 3 Growth Management Act into Chapter 1; remove Chapter 4 and include as an appendix; merge chapters 5, 6, and 7, and rearrange the content. Ryan pointed out that the plan will be on the agenda for the joint Planning Commission/Council meeting. There was a discussion about annexation. Ryan noted that staff has begun an annexation study of the Capital City area. The study is not yet completed, but shows very little in the way of revenue generating properties if the area is annexed into the city. Staff noted that Council is very supportive of annexations. There was a discussion about the innovative techniques from Chapter 6. Ryan noted that each section will have a discussion/introduction, will identify the goals and policies, and set out strategies. Innovative techniques will be integrated into each topic. It was suggested that more focus be placed on development in the UGA, and that a procedure be put in place to list areas that are more desirable to annex. A suggestion was made to organize principles so that similar sections are grouped together to make the plan more cohesive and make the format more logical. Ryan noted that future chapters will be brought to Planning Commission as they are completed. 5. Communications and Announcements: None. 6. Next meeting: January 6, Adjournment: 8:05 p.m. Page 1 of 1

28 LACEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING March 26, 2015 SUBJECT: Housekeeping Amendments relating to Lacey Municipal Code Chapters 2.24, 2.36, 3.03, 10.02, and RECOMMENDATION: Approve Ordinance Nos. 1462, 1463, 1464, and 1465 relating to housekeeping amendments. STAFF CONTACT: Scott Spence, City Manager David Schneider, City Attorney ORIGINATED BY: City Manager & City Attorney ATTACHMENTS: 1. Proposed Ordinance amending LMC (Powers & Duties of City Clerk) 2. Proposed Ordinance repealing LMC 2.36 (Human Rights Commission) 3. Proposed Ordinance amending LMC (Lodging Tax Advisory Committee) 4. Proposed Ordinance repealing LMC , adding LMC , and amending LMC (Parking in spaces designated for physically disabled persons) FISCAL NOTE: None anticipated. PRIOR REVIEW: General Government & Public Safety Committee, March 13, BACKGROUND: In an ongoing effort to keep the Lacey Municipal Code current, staff periodically reviews sections of the code that may need revisions due to clarification, additions, deletions, or compliance with state regulations. The following amendments are recommended to sections , 2.36, , , and of the Lacey Municipal Code. LMC (Powers and duties of the city clerk): RCW requires each state and local agency to appoint and publicly identify a public records officer to serve as a point of contact for the public. This information is available on the city s website and on city publications. However, language should be added to the municipal code designating the City Clerk as the city s official records officer. Page 1 of 2

29 LMC 2.36 (Human Rights Commission): This commission was disbanded by the county in 1983 due to a lack of citizen interest and duplication of county and state services. The Thurston Council on Cultural Diversity was formed in 1993 after 18 months of consultation with citizens, including people involved with the Human Rights Commission. It was not to be an enforcement body, but rather a public education effort, which would be interjurisdictional. Although efforts were made to have an interjurisdictional agreement in place, it did not come to fruition. Therefore, the County unilaterally formed the Thurston Council on Cultural Diversity. As a result, LMC 2.36 (Human Rights Commission) should be repealed. LMC (Lodging Tax Advisory Committee): RCW is the authorizing statute for the lodging tax. This statute was recently amended. The amendments were to the definitions of Tourism Promotion and Tourism-related Facility. The authorization for cities to collect the lodging tax requires conformity with the RCW. As such, the LMC requires amendment to include these new definitions. LMC , and (Vehicles & Traffic Parking in spaces designated for physically disable persons): RCW is the state statute relating to parking in spaces designated for persons with disabilities. That statute mandates a two hundred dollar ($200) assessment in addition to any penalty imposed. The relevant LMC language does not include this mandatory assessment. Further, the LMC language is not included in the city s parking ordinance, LMC It makes sense to incorporate the mandatory RCW by reference and place that reference in Lacey s parking ordinance. At its March 13, 2015, meeting, the General Government & Public Safety Committee recommended full City Council approval of the ordinances relating to housekeeping amendments. ADVANTAGES: 1. The proposed revisions will keep the Lacey Municipal Code up to date with current state laws and the intentions of the City Council. DISADVANTAGES: 1. No disadvantages are foreseen. Page 2 of 2
