STAFF REPORT
Date: June 15, 2015 (for June 23rd City Council Meeting)
Subj: Resolution No. 558 — Continued participation in the Thurston County Federal
Community Development Block Grant Entitlement Program for years 2016 —
2018 (includes Interlocal Cooperation Agreement and Memorandum of
Understanding).
Recommendation
To approve Resolution No. 558 stating the City's continued participation with Thurston
County in the Federal Community Development Block Grant Entitlement Program for
years 2016 -2018.
Background
In 2012 Thurston County was designated a Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) Urban County by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) which entitled the County and its participating cities to annual allocations of
CDBG funds from HUD for the 2013 — 2015 period. In August 2012, the City of Yelm,
along with Rainier, Tenino and Bucoda signed an ICA and MOU with Thurston County
for the years 2013 — 2015, whereby the City agreed to become a party to the federal
entitlement program and Thurston County agreed to commit and pledge CDBG funds
one of the three years for eligible projects in south Thurston County communities
(approximately $1,000,000). The remaining two years' funds were utilized by Lacey and
Tumwater.
Under this program, the City was the recipient of $439,208 for the Yelm Skatepark
project, which will begin construction later this summer.
Current Situation
The original ICA automatically renews to consecutive three (3) year terms, however,
Thurston County has requested a Resolution no later than July 10th, stating the City's
continued participation. Resolution No. 558 adopts by reference the ICA and MOU,
which include all the original terms and conditions from the prior period, accept for the
addition of item #15 in the ICA.
By renewing the ICA and MOU, the City will once again be able to apply for funding
once over the 3 -year period for CDBG eligible projects or programs.

a. A policy prohibiting the use of excessive force by law enforcement
agencies within its jurisdiction against any individuals engaged in non-

filing of non - housing Community Development Plan and Action Plan and

submit the Consolidated Plan.
12. The County, as recipient pursuant to 24CFR 570.501 (b), is responsible for
ensuring that all fiends are used in accordance with all program requirements. The

procurement contracts, and for taking appropriate action when performance
problem arise, such as the actions described in 24CFR 570.910.

24CFR 570.503 shall begin with the date that a participating City is no longer
considered by HUD to be a part of the urban county, instead of the date that the
sub - recipient agreement expires.
14. The County and the City may not apply for grants under the Small Cities or State
CDBG Programs from appropriations for fiscal years 2016, 2017, and 2018, the
years during which the City is participating in the Thurston County CDBG
Program.
15. Pursuant to the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015,

credits or non - Federal considerations, but must use such funds for activities
eligible under Title 1 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974,
as amended.
16. The County and the City agree to execute a Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) determining the governance structure, including decision and
administrative processes to carry out the terms of this Agreement.
17. This Agreement creates no separate legal entity.
18. Prior to its entry into force, this Agreement shall be filed with the Thurston

WHH Nisqually Federal Services was selected as the lowest responsive bid.
The construction management scope assembled by BHC is comprehensive and the
cost is appropriate and within industry expectations for a project this size.
Funds for the project reside in Fund 404, Water Capital Improvement. The current
allocated budget is $350,000 for construction and construction management. The total
cost as bid for construction and construction management is $404,028.21. To take
advantage of the favorable bidding climate that exists now for projects of this type and
paying for only one mobilization, it is recommended that Council approve the
construction and construction management contracts. Reserve funding within the
Capital Improvement Fund (approximately $1.1 M) would be utilized to make up the
difference of $54,028.21 and accounted for in the next budget amendment.
The project duration is expected to be approximately 75 days.

STAFF REPORT
From: Ryan Johnstone, Public Works Director
Date: June 17, 2015 (for June 23 d City Council meeting)
Subj: Resolution No. 557 authorizing City of Yelm to receive a State Revolving Fund (SRF)
for the purpose of preparing Phase 1 of a Stormwater Management Plan.
Recommendation
Approve Resolution No. 557 accepting a State Revolving Fund Loan (SRL) for the purpose of
preparing Phase 1 of a Stormwater Management Plan.
Background
The Department of Ecology, a Washington State Agency, has established a State Revolving
Fund (SRF) for providing financial assistance for the construction of water pollution control
facilities and the preparation of required utility planning documents. The City applied for a
grant/loan in 2014 and was successful in receiving a $75,000 grant and $25,000 loan over a 20-
year term at 2.7 %.
Current Situation
With the grant and loan proceeds, along with funds from the stormwater utility, the City of Yelm
will develop a stormwater management plan to serve as the planning document for the
stormwater utility and lay the groundwork for future improvements to the City stormwater
collection, treatment and disposal system. This plan is an important tool that the City can use
for day -to -day operations and as a public reference document. In addition to addressing
regulatory issues, the plan will address protection of property from flooding and erosion,
identify health and safety issues related to water resources, and present recommendations for
the preservation of environmental and aesthetic benefits to the community. Discussions of
system mapping and inventory needs and an analysis of drainage and water quality issues will
also be included. This is the first phase of a two -phase project. The second phase will include
a rate analysis for the storm water utility and a 6 -year capital improvement program. This
resolution from the City of Yelm Council fulfills the requirement, authorizing the
acceptance of the State Revolving Loan.

STAFF REPORT
From: Janine Schnepf, City Clerk
Date: June 12, 2015 (for June 23rd City Council meeting)
Subj: Ordinance 1002 amending the 2015 Salary and Benefit Schedule Appendix II
(Ord 998) by adding an exempt Public Works Manager position and re-
establishing two vacant positions with accompanying step salary ranges.
Recommendation
Adopt Ordinance No. 1002 amending the 2015 Salary and Benefit Schedule by adding
an exempt Public Works Manager position, re- establishing the Finance Director and
Senior Accounting Clerk positions, and setting an effective date.
Background
The 2015 Budget, including the Salary and Benefit Schedule was adopted by City
Council in December 2014, (Ord 992) and the Salary Schedule, Appendix II amended in
March 2015, (Ord 997 and 998). Since that time, the departure of some personnel
afforded the opportunity to evaluate the organization of those departments. In so doing,
it was determined that two of the now vacant positions could be combined into one,
thereby creating a new position of Public Works Manager and filling the needs of the
current city operations. The Finance Director and Senior Accounting Clerk positions,
established and filled in prior years but currently vacant, are being re- established for
use as the needs of the city grow.
Current Situation
At this time, the City plans to fill the Public Works Manager and Finance Director
positions. Funding for these positions is included in the 2015 budget due to the
resignation of the PW Field Supervisor and Treasurer (both budgeted for a full year) and
savings from the time lag in creating and filling the new positions. Recommend to
amend the 2015 Salary and Benefit Schedule Appendix II establishing a new exempt
Public Works Manager position and re- establishing the Finance Director and Senior
Accounting Clerk positions. The City of Yelm Salary Schedule is attached with the
proposed step scale.

Commission • • Michelle o District
,..
Port Commissioners George Barner and Bill McGregor appointed Michelle Morris to the vacant District 3
Commission seat at their June 10th meeting.
Of the eight applicants for the appointment, the Commission first narrowed the field to the four who are
not running in the election to fill Sue Gunn's unexpired term. They agreed that the voters should make the
choice in that election, and that their appointment of a candidate could give that person an unfair "leg up"
as an incumbent.
Morris is a principal in Sound Resource Management Group, Inc., Olympia. Previously she served as
executive director of Sustainable South Sound, founder /director of Thurston County Critical Areas
Ordinance Coalition, founder /director of Concerned Citizens of Thurston County and information
analyst/global code of conduct for Levi Strauss & Co., San Francisco. She has a Bachelor of Arts in
Finance and a Masters in Environmental Studies from The Evergreen State College.
The four applicants who sought only the temporary appointment are Fred Finn, Michelle Morris, Dick Pust
and George Sharp. The four running in the election to fill the unexpired term are Jerry Farmer, Larry
Goodman, Bob Jones and E. J. Zita.
All eight applications are available at.httD:://www. Dort ok Mn

Sue Gunn resigned April 1, 2015, due to personal health matters. By law, the Port Commission has 90
days to appoint a qualified person to fill the vacancy. If the Commission failed to make a timely
appointment, the responsibility for appointment would go to the Thurston County Commission.
