New Business -
a. SW Well 1A Contracts; Prospect Construction, RH2 Engineering
Construction Management and Parametrix SCADA Integration
Ryan Johnston explained the SW Well 1A is the culmination of several years of
engineering and hydro geologic design and coordination. This is the first source of
potable water to be constructed as part of larger proposed water system
improvements in the southwest portion of the City and it paves the way for
additional future water system expansion as proposed in the current City of Yelm
Water System Plan. Preliminary design of the SW Well 1A infrastructure began in
2012 with final design being completed in 2015. On June 3, 2015, the SW Well 1A
project was advertised for construction and 11 bids were opened on July 15, 2015.
Prospect Construction was the lowest responsive bid. The construction
management scope provided by RH2 is comprehensive and not only incorporates
full -time onsite construction inspection services but also pre- construction services,
facility startup and testing assistance, and SCADA system software development,
startup and testing. The Parametrix SCADA Integration contract includes the work
necessary to incorporate the SW Well 1A infrastructure into the larger water utility
SCADA system. Their services include making telemetry design, SCADA Telemetry
startup, commissioning, and training. Funds for the project are in Fund 431, Water
Construction. It is reasonable to assume that the duration of the project will be
approximately one year. Councilmember Hendrickson asked where Prospect
Construction, Inc is located and if they have had experience in this type of a
construction project. Mr. Johnstone replied they are based out of Puyallup and they
specialize in the water and wastewater treatment industries. They are currently
working on a large project for Nisqually Indian Tribe. Councilmember Wood asked if
these contracts if passed by Council tonight would be the total costs involved to
complete this project. Mr. Johnstone stated there would be a couple of contracts
Page 1 of 2
Agenda Item 6. a. Minutes
Page 2 of 2
that will come before Council in the future for services that have specialized skills
in the water and wastewater facility projects.

PROSPECT CONSTRUCTION, INC. IN THE AMOUNT OF $4,931,035.28,

STAFF REPORT
Ryan Johnstone, Public Works Director
Grant Beck, Community Development Director
Date: August 14, 2015 (for August 25, 2015 City Council Meeting)
Subj: Adoption of amendments to the Animal Control Code
Recommendation
Adopt Ordinance 1003 amending Chapter 6.08 Yelm Municipal Code clarifying animal
control regulations, violations, and procedures.
Background
The current animal control code, Chapter 6.08 YMC, was last updated in 2002 and
contains regulations and procedures that are outdated and not consistent with current
practices. The code is not clear regarding enforcement procedures and which City
Department (Police or Public Works) takes the lead on what types of violations.
The proposed amendments clarify the roles and responsibilities of the various
Departments that implement the code, and formalize the process for notification of
violations.
The amendments further clarify that only dogs are impounded by Public Works and
allows the option for chipping impounded dogs rather than requiring it.
Current Situation
Ordinance 1003 updates the Yelm Animal Control Code to reflect current practices and
to clarify roles and responsibilities of various City Departments..
The Council should adopt Ordinance 1003.

household pets
Recommendation
Adopt Ordinance 1004 amending Section 18.30.010 Yelm Municipal Code to allow

Background
The City Council has been approached by citizens interested in raising chickens on
residential lots within the City. Currently, the animal control code prohibits the raising of
livestock in the City, including chickens, ducks, and rabbits.
The Council reviewed the request and the practices of other urban jurisdictions within
Thurston County, all of which allow for the keeping of chickens, with restrictions. The
Council subsequently determined to hold a public hearing on a proposal to change the
code to allow chickens, ducks, and rabbits in the City, under certain conditions.
The proposed code would allow up to 3 chickens or ducks on a 5,000 square foot lot,
with an additional chicken for every 1,000 square feet over 5,000. Coops would be
required to be at least 20 feet from any property line, to mitigate any impacts to
neighbors.
Current Situation
Ordinance 1004 updates the Unified Development Code to allow chickens, ducks, and
rabbits as common household pets appurtenant to a single family dwelling.
The Council should adopt Ordinance 1004.

Lot draw will determine who is first on the ballot in the
Tenino Mayor's race
OLYMPIA, WA — Think your vote doesn't matter? Think again. Votes carry even more
weight in small elections. The Tenino race for mayor is tied with 136 votes each for
current mayor Bret D. Brodersen and city councilman Wayne Fournier.
These top two candidates will move on to the General Election ballot, but the question
remains: who will be first on the ballot? The last three Primary Election ballots from
Tenino were counted this morning. The election will be certified during the Canvassing
Board meeting at 4:00 p.m. today.
At the meeting, Thurston County Auditor Mary Hall will hold a lot draw to determine
which candidate will appear first on the General Election ballot.
"This is a perfect example of the power of one vote. One vote can make a difference,"
said Mary Hall. "Many political scholars believe being first on the ballot is an
advantage."
Canvassing Board meetings are open public meetings, and the public is invited to
attend this lot draw. The meeting will be held in the Auditor's conference room in
building 1, room 118 at the Thurston County Courthouse, 2000 Lakeridge Dr SW,
Olympia, at 4:00 p.m. today.
