3. a. TCOMM IGA and Bylaws Review
Police Chief Todd Stencil presented a summarization of the original Intergovernmental
Agreement for Communications Services which was signed by the City of Yelm in 2010.
This contract is good for 30 years and there is no change to the contract or any vote coming
to Council regarding this agreement. Because of Senate Bill 5272, which increases the
maximum tax rate for the voter -approved local sales and use tax for emergency
communications systems and facilities, part of the Senate Bill's requirement prior to it going
to the voters is that each entity that is part of this contract, Including Yelm, has the
opportunity to agree with or recommend any changes to the existing contract. Chief Stancil
explained that this is just a verbal agreement, nothing formal or nothing signed. After this
discussion I will email Keith Flewelling and will let him know that our Council is in support
and does not have any recommended changes on the agreement. This is all we are doing.
We are not endorsing the sales tax hike and we are not changing the existing contract.
Council members present agreed with the existing contract from 2010 and had no
recommendations.
3. b. Annual 6 -Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)
Public Works Director Chad Bedlington gave a presentation on the Annual 6 -Year
Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). Updating the Council to provide ample time to
review before the Public Hearing at the July 23, 2019 Yelm City Council meeting.
