6. Public Hearing - Utility Local Improvement District (ULID) Formation. Mayor
Wolf opened the public hearing at 6:07 pm, and announced the time, place, date,
and reason for the hearing. No objections to participants were voiced.
Sandy Mackie, legal counsel, gave a procedure and process overview, explaining
that adoption of Ordinance 607 is subject to a recall by the people. Ordinance
adoption starts a thirty day written protest period. If 60% of the assessments
advise the City in writing that they object to the ULID formation, then the ULID is
legally dead. If fewer than 60% protests are received, it is City Council's decision
as to whether to proceed or not. The thirty day protest period puts the ULID in
motion if it is not invalidated by action of the counciL The ULID funds final $2
million of the $9 million needed for the Wastewater (Treatment Plant) Reuse
Project. Formation of the ULID will allow the City to advertise for bids. I
The ordinance identifies, in exhibits IT and ill, six Special Benefit Districts.
Assessments to those districts will be for payment into a bond fund to defray a
portion of the costs connected with building or financing the Wastewater Reuse
Project. Any cost over runs shall not be a cost of the ULID.
Mackie added that comments concerning the environmental impacts of the ULID
are also appropriate to be addressed during tonight's public hearing.
Resolution 367, of 10/8/97, Notice of Intent to form a Utility Local Improvement
District, set the date for tonight's public hearing and was sent to property owners
in or adjacent to Special Benefit Districts.
Two criteria for assessment are: 1) a base unit - of 1 ERU per acre oR fraction
of an acre. (An Equivalent Residential Unit is approx. 900 c.f. of discharged
wastewater p/month.) The base assessment does not include properties exenipt
because they are already hooked to sewer or are impacted by critical areas.
and 2) Supplemental assessments may be requested.by property owners within
Special Benefit Districts. Supplemental assessments shall be the number of
additional units the owner desires for development, but may not exceed zoning
limits.
The public hearing objective is to take a look at each of the special benefit areas,
consider removal of properties people want removed, consider if special benefits
are present or not, and entertain requests for additional or supplemental units.
Letters received requesting removal or additional benefits will be entered into the
record. Following these considerations Council will consider whether to move
forward with the ULID.
Mayor Wolf requested that speakers come to the stand and state their name and
address. Sandy Mackie pointed out that a sign-in sheet was available and Mayor
Wolf called speakers from the list.

Speakers:
Mollie Hendrickson - didn't wish to speak. Exhibit - Letter of 10/15/97 requestIng that
tax parcels 21724420200/201 be excluded from ULID - Killion South.
Craig Billingsly - no comment.
Bill Payne - 10035 Grove Rd. - Indicated that the 10/1/97 letter was the first notification
he received of the ULID. Shelly Badger indicated that not everyone received all of four
letters sent. She also indicated that the PaYne property (PaYne, Kathryn L., Parcel
#51540201800) .23 acres in the West Road DistriCt is exempt because it already has a
house and septic system. Mr. PaYne asked "is it only exempt from the building, I don't.
believe that that would exempt us from paying for our portion of sewers, is that ?" Shelly
Badger responded (that there would be charges) "only if you hook-up to the sewer at
some future for example"... Mr. Payne "Is that an individuals choice?" Both Mackie
and Badger responded "Yes." ... Badger continued "it is, unless if for example, your
septic failed and the ~ewer line ran in front of your house, then we would ask you to hook
to sewer, other than that it is voluntary." Mr. PaYne "Does that also exclude you from
frontage?" Mackie and Badger "Yes." Mr. Payne "Is there a way to get that in wri~ing?"
Sandy Mackie responded. "As this meeting is being recorded, I would request that the
secretary include in the minutes of this meeting that the only assessments, as a result of
this Local Improvement District, be the assessments shown on the attachment to the
ordinance, which staff is reading from and of which you have a copy. And where a
property is shown as exempt, that means that under this LID, there is no assessment. That
means that under this LID there is no assessment for frontage, there is no assessment for
hook-up, or (for) any other costs with respect to the sewer, unless or until the individual
comes to the City and says I would like to hook-up to sewer."
What Shelly (Badger) was referencing was that if a septic tank failed, the Health Dept.
could insist that you hook-up to the local sewer. But, that is not something that is the
direct result of this LID.
It was agreed that copies of the minutes containing the exclusionary language would be
serve as written verification, and would be mailed to Mr. Payne, and available to anyone
requesting copies.
As no one else signed to speak, Mayor Wolf called for additional speakers.
John Huddleston - POB 1206 Yelm - Example: If I have a five acre parcel and request 10
ERUs, based on basic and supplemental, and find out as I'm developing that I need more,
can I obtain more ERUs? and at what rate? Sandy Mackie - you can, then come to the
City and purchase additional ERUs at whatever rate is in effect when your project vests.
Shelly Badger added that additional ERU s would be first come, first served based on
sewer capacity. Mr. Huddleston added that as capacity was increasing by 3,000 units .
(from 1,000 to 4,000) and 1,000 are part of the ULID, some 2,000 remaining units will be
available.

Page 3
Mr. Huddleston questioned that originally $7.6 million in loans and grants, and $1.5
million LID, had in the most recent letter changed to $7.1 in loans and grants, and LID
increases to $2 million. Is there a reason for this change?
Sandy Mackie responded that when we first put together the $1.5 million LID it was
based on 750 ERU, and it is now going to come out at about 1100 ERU. That increased
the amount of money that could be raised thru the LID and still hold to the $2,000 p/unit
cost. The benefit in the ULID - the 1100 gives a total charge of$I,800 rather then $2,000
. p/unit. So there should be some savings by participating in the ULID. Also, the Dept. of
. Ecology is still in the process of classifying funds. The ordinance freezes the ULID to
$2 million, and says that to the extent there are any cost overrun in the project, they
would be absorbed by the community as a whole, and not the ULID property owners. So
. in effect, your costs are capped. We also said that to the extent we were able to underrun
and save funds, the first place we would save, is from the local improvement district.
Mr. Huddleston requested increases in Killion N. District:
1) Parcel #21713340300, currently 5 base and 5 supplemental units, increased to 5 base
and 10 supplemental units. Total 15ERU
2) Parcel # 21713340600, also increased from a total of 10 to a total of 15.
Councilmember Rivas questioned Mr. Huddleston, stating that because of the increase
requested, it sounds like you are in favor of the ULID? Mr. Huddleston replied definitely.
Are the increases you requested the maximum permitted? No, I could probably buy;
more, but I would certainly like to participate in the savings being offered.
Shelly Badger noted a change submitted by Mr. Huddleston in writing to:
1) Mill Pond District parcel #21725140200 - parcel to be exempt, already has vested
sewer rights.
2) .Killion N. parcel #21713330200 - reduced from 10 total to 3 total.
E.l. Turpin - 83rd Ct. - asked if the City had any future plans to expand to his area, and if
so when? Mackie responded that as he (Turpin) was outside the Urban Growth Area,
then explained the process necessary to change that. Shelly Badger responded that at this'
point the 20 year Urban Growth Area does not include his area.
Bob Gallagher -164120 Middle Rd -. West Rd. parcel #64303500501 - currently 3 units
requested 6 additional units - to 9 total.
Mackie explained that the City is at maximum sewer treatment capacity and has not been
processing plats for any kind of large scale user. The LID formation requires the City to
show that the benefit to the property exceeds charges to the property owner. In meeting
this requirement local Realtors were asked to give an appraisal of property with and
without sewer availability. John. L Scott Real Estate, Mike and Bev Malan, indicated
that without sewer ERUs is between $7-$10,000 p/acre. With ERUs available the same
10/22/97 City Council Minutes
ab\ms\cc.97\1 0-22mn97 .doc
Page 4
property would sell at 2 to 3 times this amount. Windermere Real Estate, Debbie Draper,
indicated that without sewer ERUs, a five acre parcel would list and sell for $10-12,000
p/acre. With ERUs available the same property would list and sell for between $20-
$25,000 p/acre. The letters demonstrate that the $2,000 per unit ULID charge is well
within the benefit increase to property to be included in the ULID, and support formation
ofa ULID.
Letters requesting increases/decreases were read.
1) Killion S. #21724420800, (Ronald Laughlin), Requesting minimum assessment
2) West Rd. #643036008011800, (Schmidt), Excluded
3) West Rd. #64303600302, (Pratt), Requesting total of27 units
4) Killion N. #21713240102, (Hutson), Requesting total of 39
5) Five Comers #7 (Jolley) Excluded
6) Mill Pond # 21725140500, (Triplett), Excluded
7) Mill Pond #21725140502, (Baker), Excluded
8) Killion N. #21713340106, (Kolilis, Frederick), Correct ownership Mike & Bev
Malan Requesting total of 14
9) Killion N.#21713340404, (Kolilis, Frederick), Correct ownership Mike & Bev
Malan Excluded
10) Killion N. #21724110300, (Guzzetti), Excluded
11) Canal Rd #64300900200, (O'Rear), Requesting inclusion at minimum
12) Killion S. # 21724420300, (Donohue), Requesting total of 49
13) West Rd. #51540201200, (Glass), Requesting inclusion at minimum
14) West Rd. #64303500200, (Suburban Realty), Requesting total of32
Sandy Mackie explained that one of the tests is if benefit deletions would require material
changes to the benefit districts. He expressed his opinion that the Killion N. Districf.still
meets original criteria. He then proposed that one option is for Council to pass a motion
excluding from the ULID, those properties where owners had expressed a desire to be
excluded and to have the City engineer indicate so on the map.
Bob Gallagher - questioned an island being formed by exclusions in the West Rd.
District. Sandy Mackie allowed that that was the case. Even so, in his opinion, a viable
or orderly area still remained. The issue is logical focus for interest in development
which can participate in road upgrades, and extending water/sewer lines. Under those
. circumstances it meets remaining criteria and benefits both the developer and the
community.
Changes were added to maps to demonstrate remaining boundaries.
15) Killion S. #21724430100 (G. Newby) - Excluded
Discussion on other property/property owners unable to attend. Sandy Mackie stated that
the close of the hearing tonight was the end of the opportunity.

Councilmember Miller asked ifit would still be possible to obtain additional ERUs
following the public hearing. Sandy Mackie responded that to the best of his recollection
the close of the public hearing tonight fixes it. Council's decision at the end of the
protest period is to proceed or not to proceed. Mackie will check to see if there are any
exceptions to that.
Mayor Wolf called for any additional comments or questions. Being none, the public
hearing was closed at 6:59 pm.
Mayor Wolf explained that the first order of business would be modification of the
boundaries. The city attorney's recommendation is to strike from the LID areas that have
been so requested by the owners, and that the city engineer reflect these deletions on the
map.
Discussion again concerning individuals who were expected to comment but had not yet
arrived at the meeting. Sandy Mackie suggested that Council proceed and that if
someone arrived prior to the end of the meeting, the ordinance could still be amended, as
the final ordinance copy would not be ready until tomorrow.
Councilmember Rivas pointed out that everyone had been provided with an opportunity
to make written comment as well as to comment at the public hearing. .
97- 197 MOTION BY DON MILLER, SECONDED VELMA CURRY, APPROVING
BOUNDARIES WITH THE EXCLUSIONS REQUESTED REFLECTED IN
FUTURE MAPS. CARRIED.
Sandy Mackie requested on behalf of staff that Council approve the Determination of
Non-Significance that was issued today.
97-198 MOTION BY MARTHA PARSONS, SECONDED BY VELMA CURRY
APPROVING THE DETERMINATION OF NON-SIGNIFICANCE THA T WAS
ISSUED TODAY. CARRIED.
Sandy Mackie explained that Ordinance 607 would have five attachments that would
reflect the changes made this evening, and a revision to read "the City Engineer has
prepared a statement of costs and assessments which shall be mailed to all benefited
properties." Passage will begin the thirty day protest period.
97-199 MOTION BY ADAM RIVAS, SECONDED BY AMOS LAWTON ADOPTING
ORDINANCE NO. 607 WITH THE REVISIONS TO SECTION 8. CARRIED.
Sandy Mackie told Council that the next step is arranging funding. One way to fund is
with bond counsel where bonds are sold through an underwriting organization, this can be
expensive for a $2 million LID. An alternative way to proceed is to issue a request for
10/22/97 City Council Minutes
ab\ms\cc.97\10-22mn97.doc
Page 6
proposals. The RFP would be sent to local funding institutions and published to see if
there is a local funding institution interested in participating in the LID, and ultimately
loaning the money for the bonds. This would eliminate a portion of the costs. Council's
direction was requested.
In response to Councilmember Miller's questioning if interest had been expressed locally,
Mackie.responded "two very large bites."
.97-200 MOTION BY DON MILLER, SECONDED BY ADAM RIVAS
AUTHORIZING STAFF TO PREPARE AND SOLICIT A REQUEST FOR
PROPOSALS FOR FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS AND BRING THE
RESULTS BACK TO CITY COUNCIL. CARRIED.
Tom Skillings, project engineer, updated Council on the proposed Water Reuse Project
schedule. He explained that the next step is authorization of advertising for bids. Plan
approval from Depts. of Health and Ecology, and Rural Development is expected to be in
hand within the next ten days. The bid process would occur simultaneously with the 30
day protest period. The bid opening would occur in January due to the upcoming holiday
period.
97-201 MOTION BY VELMA CURRY, SECONDED BY AMOS LAWTON
APPROVING ADVERTISEMENT OF BIDS AS SOON AS DEPARTMENT OF
ECOLOGY AND HEALTH APPROVAL IS RECEIVED. CARRIED.
Sandy Mackie pointed out that the tally showed the ULID has 1,155 units, a 111 unit
Increase.
Mayor Wolf thanked all involved with the project.
As the presenters from TRPC and IT had not arrived, Mayor Wolf moved forward on the
agenda.
10. New Business
a. Conditional Use Permit - CUP-978198- YL, Easthaven Villa Assisted Living
Facility. Cathie Carlson, city planner, gave an overview of the staff report dated
10/14/97. The proposal is for Special Use approval to develop the site as a residential
care facility. The 26, 532 square ft. facility will consist of 36 units serving the elderly
who require daily assistance and 6 units for Alzheimer patients. Total capacity is 48 full
time residents. .
The Yelm Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposal on 10/20/97. The
Commission's recommendation to Council is to approve as proposed in the staff report,
with two minor changes.

Pg. 4, Staff Recommendations
Item 2., deleted, as the applicant is already on City water.
Item 12., No chain link fencing requirement - Staff to work with applicant to develop a
plan that is aesthetically pleasing, but also allows residents to see out, and not be closed
in with a wood fence.
Addition, Pg. 4, #15 Requiring that the applicant be consistent with Thurston Co.
Health Dept. Hazardous Waste Requirements, for spills and disposal of hazardous
medical was~es.
Pg. 1 & 2. Work with applicant on traffic issues and the intersection. The transportation
engineer's estimate to design up to 3 alternatives is approximately $8,000, including
surveying, design alternatives, and stormwater concerns. Money is available in the
budget to cover this cost in 1997. At some point, as traffic increases, the City would need
to budget additional money to implement the traffic improvements. The costs are
unknown at this point in time.
97-202 MOTION BY VELMA CURRY, SECONDED BY AMOS LAWTON
APPROVING EASTHA VEN VILLA SPECIAL USE ~ERMIT (CUP-978198-
YL), BASED ON THE FINDINGS IN SECTION C, AND SUBJECT TO THE
I
CONDITIONS IN SECTION D, WITH THE DELETION OF D4,
ADmSTMENT OF D12, 'AND ADDITION OF D15. CARRIED.
Mayor Wolf called for a two minute break, to allow the set up for the next presentation, ,
which will begin at 7 :25, with Agenda Item #7.
7. Draft Transportation Plan - Preferred Alternative. Thera Black, Thurston
Regional Planning Council, gave an overview of the Preferred Alternative developed to
meet traffic volume increases through 2020. The draft plan was developed based op.
population and employment projections for 130,000 more people and 50,000 new jobs.
Input came from various places including the local jurisdictions. Key components
included increased public transportation to the Lakewood area for connection to the R T A,
travel demand management, non-motorized (bike/pedestrian) focus, preservation and
maintenance of existing roadways, more north-south and east-west connections, and
capacity improvements.
Funding for the plan falls $361 million dollars short. The funding gap can be offset by 1)
Increasing local (county) gas taxes by 10%. This tax would come directly back to the
county and would require voter approval. The tax would raise an estimated $60 million
between 2000-2020. 2) An additional $15 vehicle license renewal fee. Voter approval is
not necessary, but Council approval is required. This would raise approximately $67 .
million between 2000-2020. and 3) Increasing the transit sales tax by .2%. No approval
necessary. This option would raise approximately $149 million between 2000-2020.
Taxpayer cost if all three are approved is approximately $54 per year.

The next step is the public review process from Oct. 20 - Nov. 18, to receive comment. A
forum on TCTV, Channel 3, on Wednesday, Oct. 29, at 8:30 pm., and a public hearing
will be held on Nov. 5, at 7 pm, at Tumwater High School. Draft Plan revisions will
follow, with adoption by Thurston Regional Planning Council expected in February of
1998. Copies of the Plan are available at local libraries, city and town halls, or can be
obtained by calling TRPC.
In response to audience questions and comments, Ms. Black responded that if not all
county jurisdictions agreed to the tax, it would be a majority rules voter decision, with
funding applied and distributed county-wide. A state vehicle inspection program was
suggested as a way to increase funding, and also improve safety.
Ms. Black introduced Paula Reeves, TRPC, Stefan Marks, Intercity Transit Planner, and
Harold Robertson, TRPC Executive Director.
8. Public Hearing-' Request for Proposals for 1998 Community Development Block
Grant: Mayor Wolf opened the public hearing at 8:10 pm., and announced the time,
place, date, and explained that the reason for the public hearing is to select a 1998 CDBG
applicant. Yelm was the lead agency twice for the DCBO, once for the Community
Services Center expansion, and for the Krislen Apartments. The City was also successful
in their application for a water system grant for this year. Applications may be submitted
by the City, or the City may choose to allow a community non-profit agency to apply.
Shelly Badger explained that Community Development Block Grants are a flexible
source of federal funding that may be used for a broad range of community development
activity. Projects must principally benefit low-moderate income persons, prevent or
eliminate slums or blight, or to meet urgent community development needs which pose a
serious and immediate threat to public health or safety.
Badger continued stating that the first step is to do a community needs assessment, and
invited audience members to come forward and speak for individual projects. Badger
requested that a spokesperson for each of the projects step forward and give a brief; no
more than 5 minute overview of their project. Following comments the public hearing
will be closed and council will make a decision.
Audience members spoke in support of three proj ects: 1), the construction of a new
library; 2) Improvements to the Yelm Senior Center, and 3) a Youth Center and Child
Care Facility. Many speakers expressed their belief that all three projects were deserving
of support, and some favored combining the three projects.
Speakers for the Library Construction Project: Roberta Longmire, Ruth Jacobson, Pam
Bachmeier, Wilma Tokarczyk, LeRoy Bendien, Helen Frost, Jackie Miller, Fred Murray,
. Loren Bliss, Frances McMullen, and Sharon McBride.

proposal was presented by Donna Taylor.
With no additional comments forthcoming, Mayor Wolf closed the public hearing at
9:25 pm. Mayor Wolf thanked the speakers for their input and turned the matter over to
City Council.
Councilmember Rivas asked for clarification on the Youth Center/Child Care Center
project program usage, and hours of operation. Cindy Cecil responded that both groups
would be served, that week nights would see closure at 7 pm, and that there would also be
some late night activities on the weekends.
Councilmember Parsons questioned plans for supervision. Cindy Cecil responded that
th.ey would provide a I to 8 ratio as required.
Councilmember Miller asked if financing was available to support the program. Cecil
responded that revenue from the licensing agency would be used. He then asked if that
money wasn't already committed to ongoing programs. Cecil responded that a budget
was prepared using revenue projection increases based on past years increases, and that a
$20,000 p/year commitment had been received from Together.
Councilmember Miller expressed his belief that this type of project is very difficult to
operate, difficult to fund, and aren't often successful. He said that he would vote in
support of a library.
Councilmember Rivas asked for additional stats on area income-levels, and asked if there
was reason for increasing levels of service. Cecil pointed out the difficulty faced by low-
income residents .when they had to go to Olympia for services.
