"Proudly Serving Our Community"
TO: Yelm City Council
FROM: Michael Grayum, City Administrator
SUBJECT: Monthly Financial Report
DATE: August 22, 2019
As previously proposed to the Finance Committee and shared with you all in my last two updates, at the
last meeting in August we will start including additional financial information in your City Council packets
that our new software is able to produce.
Included in the Financial Report for the August 27th Meeting:
• Year to Date Budget to Actual for Revenues and Expense by Fund for January through July (pg 1)
• Yelm's one page summary from the Washington State Auditor's FIT, Financial Intelligence Tool,
for 2017 (pgs 2 & 3)
• Overtime for July 2019 as reflected on the August 5th payroll (pgs 4 & 5)
• The Voucher Approval for July payments issued (pgs 6 to 13)
This information will help inform us about what info you'd like to see for the quarterly budget reviews,
updates and amendments we will get on your calendar.
I've asked Heidi, our Interim Finance Director, to create and provide these reports for you once a month,
in addition to framing up options for the formal budget update process. Right now our main focus is the
audit. Please stay tuned as we continue to move forward in providing transparent and comprehensive
financial data to the council on a regular bases. Please let me know if you have any suggestions or
preferences as we navigate this process.

Subj: Request to Circulate a Petition for Annexation
ISSUE
Debra Fermon has requested approval from the Yelm City Council to circulate a petition for
annexation for property west of Grove Road and south of 103rd Avenue.

BACKGROUND
The request to circulate an annexation petition is for lots 19 through 23 of the Yelm Views
Subdivision, originally recorded in 1970.
All of the lots within Yelm Views are currently City of Yelm water customers and 3 of the lots,
including one in the proposed annexation area, are sewer customers as well.
The subdivision, along with two lots of record west of the subdivision along 103rd Avenue, form a
peninsula of unincorporated property surrounded on the west, south, and east by the Yelm City
Limits.
The property is within Yelm's Urban Growth Area and is pre -zoned as Moderate Density Residential
(R-6).
The 2010 Water System Plan at Section 1.9.4 establishes the following policy relating to annexation.
Until adequate water rights are secured, annexation of properties in the retail service area
will not be allowed with the exception of parcels within an existing (as of the adoption date of
this WSP) sewer LID area;
or unless the owner/developer of those properties and the City complete a water rights
agreement that outlines the terms of a water rights transfer to the City that provides at least
enough water rights to the City to allow service of the property seeking annexation.
The Comprehensive Plan does not contain any goal or policy that would lead to the conclusion that
the property should not be annexed into the City of Yelm. There would be no impacts to City services,
including public areas, transportation needs, utilities, sidewalks, recreational services, or human
services attributable to the proposed annexation as the properties are already developed and the
resident's part of the Yelm Community.
RECOMMENDATION
The clear policy expressed by the City Council in the water system plan would lead to a
recommendation that the Council not authorize the circulation of the annexation petition, as the
water system policy does not except properties already served by the City's water system from the
ban on annexations. However, all the properties within the proposed annexation area and the entire
`peninsula' of unincorporated land are developed and current water customers.
Page 2 of 3
If the Council determines that the proposed annexation meets the annexation policy of the Water
System Plan, it should consider amending the annexation boundaries to include the entire peninsula
south of 103rd Avenue and west of Grove Road. This would make a much more logical boundary and
incorporate the portion of 103rd Avenue that is currently a County Road (with City infrastructure
located within the County Road).

The purpose of this manual is to establish policy / procedures and guidelines for
the selection, training, equipping, consistent activation, deployment and use of
the Thurston County SWAT Team. This office recognizes that no SWAT
operation is ever alike and SWAT missions are fluid. With that said, the
procedures in this manual are guidelines for the different operations that the
SWAT Team will face. The main purpose of any SWAT operation is to allow
flexibility, for the people making decisions, to resolve an issue in the most
peaceful manner possible.

Mission Statement
Recognizing that the presence of a highly trained, highly skilled police tactical
unit has been shown to substantially reduce the risk of injury or loss of life to
citizens, police officers and suspects; and recognizing that a well-managed

critical incidents, it is the intent of the Thurston County SWAT Team to provide a
highly trained and skilled tactical team as a resource for the Thurston County

armed suspect in any location, whether fortified or not, who is refusing
to comply with police demands for surrender.
3. Sniper Situations: The firing upon citizens and/or police by an armed
suspect, whether stationary or mobile.
4. Apprehension: The arrest or apprehension of armed or potentially
armed suspect(s) where there is the likelihood of armed resistance.
5. Warrant Service: The service of search or arrest warrants where there
is a likelihood of armed or potentially armed suspect(s) and there is the
potential of armed resistance.
6. Personal Protection: The security of special persons, such as VIP's,
witnesses, or suspects, based on threat or potential threat to the well-
being of those persons.
7. Crowd Control / Riot: The arrest, apprehension and / or dispersion of
persons involved in unlawful assembly and / or civil disobedience.

Traininq Standard
The Thurston County SWAT Team will train 18 days per year, for ten (10) hours
or whatever the current employee contract allows for hours in a day. This
training will be a mandatory training for all members of the team and they will be
required to attend unless the Team Commander excuses the absence in
advance.
The members will only be allowed to have a total of three (3) excused absences
from training a year and no unexcused absences. Excused absences are those
that are beyond the control of the SWAT Team Operator. An example would be
their own agency's chain of command overriding SWAT training or missions, or
some other event that occurs unexpectedly to cause the members absence. If
more than three excused absences occur in a one calendar year period, the
Team Commander or Team Leader will speak with the Operator and possibly
their chain of command to resolve the issue. If the Operator has an unexcused
absence, they will be called upon to explain themselves to the Team
Commander. These types of absences will be evaluated on a case by case
basis. The Team Commander may order a suspension of the SWAT Operator if
necessary. The suspension will be in effect until the leadership of the team
(Team Commander, Team Leader, Operations Chief, and Administrative Liaison)
can meet to discuss what further action / discipline should occur.
All new members will be assigned a training officer who is a senior member of
the SWAT Team. The trainer will complete the SWAT training program in a
timely manner. This training will be conducted outside the normal monthly
training that is required of SWAT Team members.
Training will be coordinated and approved by the Team Commander and/or the
Team Leader each month. Training will be designed around the needs of the
team and requirements that need to be met such as firearms qualifications. If
members want or need a specific training they will convey their needs to the
Team Leader so the appropriate time can be arranged for the training.
The team members are encouraged to attend outside SWAT related training
when they can. All requests for training will be paid by individual member
agencies however the member will notify the Team Commander of all training
they are applying for or approved to attend. This is done so the Team
Commander can ensure that the member is attending training that is right for the
individual and the team. Also the member is representing the Thurston County
SWAT Team so we want to ensure that the individual is qualified for the training
they are attending and it is job specific.
Revised October 2017 Page 18
Team Leadership: Must attend a basic 40 hour team leader course to be
considered for the position of Assistant Team Leader. Operator should seek

Revised October 2017 Page 23
Noise / Flash Diversionary Devices
Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to provide SWAT Team members with guidelines in
the safe and proper use of the NFDD (Noise Flash Diversionary Device). The
NFDD is an explosive device that, when properly deployed, produces six (6) to
eight (8) seconds of physiological involuntary distraction which prohibits
organized resistance.
Policy
NFDD's are among the most useful tools to law enforcement today. Their
continued use and availability is only possible through proper training,
justification and deployment. Only team members authorized to deploy devices
shall do so. No indiscriminate detonation of a noise/flash device will be
permitted. All team members shall be trained, tested and certified in the safe use
of noise/flash devices on an annual basis.
Procedures
A. Special care should be exercised when detonation is likely to be
completed in a structure where children, elderly persons or individuals
with known medical issues (pregnancy, disabilities, etc.).
B. Due to the potential fire hazard, officers shall, whenever possible,
visually inspect the area of their throw prior to detonation.
1. Avoid clothing, paper, upholstery, etc.
a. Although the NFDD has no separating sub munitions
and fragmentation is near zero, flying objects are
always a possibility. Officers should deploy the NFDD
while avoiding areas that have loose objects present
when possible.
Revised October 2017 Page 24
b. When handling a NFDD, all personnel should use
safety equipment. Safety equipment would include,
but is not limited to:
i. Eye protection
ii. Ear protection
iii. Helmet
iv, Body Armor
v. Gloves
vi. Ballistic or non -ballistic shield.
c. Thurston County SWAT Commander shall consult
with the Incident Commander on the deployment of
NFDD.
1. Upon detonation of the NFDD, smoke is produced. At the
earliest convenience, officers should ventilate the area of
deployment for the benefit of officers, suspects and civilians.
2. With the production of a loud noise, accompanied by a brilliant
flash of light, exposure to the NFDD may produce sensory
overload. After deployment, officers should check those
exposed for any injury when any threat has been mediated.
Failure to Detonate
A. Officer should always have a back-up device ready to deploy.
B. If a device fails to detonate, a second device should be immediately
deployed whenever possible.
C. After securing the area, it will be necessary to remove the un -detonated
device:
1: Avoid handling; use a shovel or other object to move.
2. Before moving the NFDD, check for proper separation of pin
and lever.
3. Immediately submerge the NFDD in a bucket of water and
wait for at least 24 hours.
Revised October 2017 Page 25
SafetV Zone
If in the event a member determines not to throw the NFDD after the pin is pulled,
there will be a designated Safe Zone to throw the NFDD to allow for safe
deployment outside the structure. This is due to hazards faced when trying to re -
pin a NFDD under stressful situations.
The member will yell NO BANG to let other members know the NFDD will be
deployed into the safe zone.
The Zone will be located near the deployment area of operation. The site will have
been checked by the Operator designated to deploy the NFDD prior to approaching
the residence to ensure that there are no hazards located in the safe zones such as
but not limited to; propane tanks, children, barbeque grills, etc.
Justification
A. SWAT Team members may deploy a noise / flash device whenever a
low-level lethality diversion is necessary to enable an entry to be made or an
arrest to be affected.
1. Barricaded suspect or hostage situation
2. High risk warrant service
3. Distracting a subject to allow apprehension or detention
4. Any situation that has the potential of being a life
threatening or violent confrontation.
Storage: When NFDD's are not being deployed on a call out they will be
stored in a locked metal container consistent with and in
accordance to the Federal BATF and Washington State
standards.
-Revised October 2017 Page 26
Chemical / OC Munitions
Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to provide Thurston County SWAT Team
members with guidelines for the proper use of chemical munitions.
Policy
The use of chemical munitions is an effective less lethal tool in subduing
armed and dangerous persons, forcing a barricaded subject from a
stronghold or dispersing a riotous crowd. It shall be the policy of Thurston
County SWAT, that team members will only deploy chemical munitions
with the authorization of designated SWAT Command Personnel and in
accordance with the proper escalation of force. Officers responsible for the
deployment of such munitions shall be trained and tested by certified
chemical agent instructors on an annual basis.
Procedures
Thurston County SWAT Commander will have full control of all
chemical agents and their use.
Thurston County SWAT Commander shall consult with the
Incident Commander on the deployment of chemical munitions.
® Evacuation procedures should be followed if innocent people
are at risk of being contaminated.
All officers involved in the deployment of chemical munitions
should be equipped with gas masks and gloves.
0 Medical personnel should be staged and prepared to render first
aid to contaminated suspects, officers and / or civilians.
CS, OC and smoke are the only authorized agents utilized by
Thurston County SWAT.
Chemical / OC munitions use within a structure:
Only non -burning type expulsion devices and projectiles should
be used within a structure, unless the suspect's threat to human
life is such that lethal force would be justified and the device
used is designed to minimize a potential fire hazard, and is
contained in an accepted manner.
Revised October 2017 Page 27
® Deployment of all chemical munitions shall be accomplished in
the safest manner possible.
Thurston County SWAT Team Leader, in conjunction with the
Chemical Munitions Officer (grenadier), shall determine what
type and amount of chemical munitions to be deployed. This
plan shall be approved by the SWAT Team commander prior to
implementation.
The Chemical Munitions Officer (grenadier) shall keep accurate
records in regard to the chemical munitions issued, used and
recovered.
Chemical / OC munitions in outdoor use:
Thurston County SWAT Commander or the Incident
Commander shall designate what formations are to be used by
team members on the strike or riot line.
® Burning projectiles are acceptable for use in an outdoor
environment.
® Thurston County SWAT Command Personnel, in conjunction
with the Chemical Munitions Officer, shall determine what type
and amount of chemical munitions to be deployed.
Chemical Munitions canisters are to be thrown on the ground or
launched behind the strikers or rioters. Projectiles are to be
fired behind the strikers or rioters. Wood or foam rubber "knee
knockers" are to be fired at the ground and ricocheted towards
the strikers or rioters.
In the event the suspect(s) presents a serious risk of death or
injury to himself or any person(s), specialty impact weapons
(less lethal munitions) may be direct fired at a suspect. -
Any person struck with less lethal munitions by a Thurston
County SWAT Team member should be, when possible,
evaluated by medics.
Revised October 2017 Page 28
Decontamination Procedures:
1. At the completion of the incident, the Chemical/OC Munitions Officer
shall be responsible for initiating decontamination procedures as
appropriate.
a. Policing area for expended munitions
b. Preparing area for ventilation
c. Provide decontamination information
2. The Chemical/OC Munitions Officer and SWAT Team Commander
shall evaluate each incident where agents were deployed and critique
what areas of training and procedure that may need to be improved. The
documentation of Chemical Agent use will be provided in an after -action
report.
Chemical / OC Agent Deployment
The chemical / OC agents may be used in situations listed below but not
limited to:
• Riot Control
• Barricaded Suspect
• Suspect Control
• Animal Control
• Any other situation deemed necessary by the SWAT
Team Commander.
When the SWAT Team uses chemical agents the Team Commander will
approve their use prior to deployment.
Chemical / OC Munitions will only be deployed by trained
personnel.
Type of Delivery Systems
The Thurston County SWAT Team uses a variety of deployment methods for
different types of incidents. The following are the types of deployment
methods:
1. 40 mm single launcher system
2. 12 gauge launcher
3. Hand thrown
4. Aerosol delivery system
5. Pepperball system
6. Any other system
Revised October 2017 Page 29
Explosive Breaching
Purpose
During the course of operations, team members may be faced with the
responsibility of creating a communication portal and safe surrender
area by using an appropriate level of a shaped explosive charge to
affect a breach. This tactic may be used in barricaded or fortified
locations in which the subject inside the structure is to be arrested and
has been repeatedly hailed by law enforcement personnel without
compliance. This use of an initial explosive breach is not
recommended for suicidal subjects. In those types of incidents, an
explosive breach may be designed for a different purpose. Alternative
means of forced entry in these situations (i.e., door rams) are less
effective and may create an extreme hazard for entry personnel. The
explosive breach by shaped charge may be used in other applications
in which the team leadership has determined it is the safest and most
effective means to gain entry into a structure. In these instances, the
tactical use of shape charges will provide a surgical breech that will
provide an immediate access for entry personnel. Explosive entry also
provides a distraction through shock and surprise that may inhibit
organized resistance toward entry personnel. In addition, explosive
breaching of entry points creates surrender areas and open a
communication portal for persons.
The use of explosives by SWAT may be used in varied applications.
Examples of explosive entry as a tool may be applied in the following
circumstances:
a. In the case of a non-compliant suspect who has been contacted by
officers in an effort to gain their surrender. In such situations, all
factors shall be taken into consideration, such as mental state of
the suspect, hazards posed by the structure and overall safety.
The use of a breaching charge has proven effective in gaining
compliance in these circumstances by creating a communication
portal and a safe surrender area.
b. Emergency entries in which SWAT must act immediately and gain
control of a crisis to save lives. Situations such as a threatened
hostage are an example of this type of entry.
c. Breaching of barricaded areas in which the only safe method of
gaining entry is by use of an explosive charge.
d. Any other situation in which an explosive charge is deemed
necessary by team command.
Revised October 2017 Page 30
Policy
Explosive entry is a tool that we use to gain entry into a location. It is
accomplished by using a small amount of explosive with a blasting cap
to force open a door or port a wall. This type of entry will need
approval from the Team Commander and the Incident
Commander prior to use.
Members who have attended an approved breaching school will be the
only persons to perform the rigging of this type of charge. "Breathers,"
as they will be referred to, will document the rigging of all charges they
set up both in training and live operations. The log will show what type
of charge was set up, date, time and who assisted. The Breacher will
maintain this log as a personal record of his charges rigged and
detonated.
Along with the above duties the Breachers will be responsible for
inventory control of the explosives and blasting caps that are stored.
The inventory will be conducted no less than once a month by one of
the breachers. The log sheets for the inventory will be stored in a
location near the explosives so it can be reviewed.
Handling, purchasing, training, and tactical use of breaching charges
will be authorized and supervised by a Certified Explosive Breaching
Officer, under the direction of Thurston County SWAT Team
Commander.
Selected Thurston County SWAT Team members will be required to
submit to on-going training relative to the use of breaching charges.
Revised October 2017 Page 31
A. Equipment
Equipment needs for explosive entry are based upon specific
breaching charges and firing devices.
1. Non -el Blasting Caps
a. Blasting caps are explosive devices necessary in the
initiation of breaching charges.
b. Non -el blasting caps are not susceptible to radio
frequency hazards or static electricity.
2. Detonating Cord
a. Detonating cord, commonly referred to as Det Cord, and
also known as Prima Cord, Primex, Detacord, and
detonating fuse contains a core of primary explosive
known as PETN.
b. Det Cord is a flexible rope -like substance that can be cut
and shaped for specific charges.
3. Non -el Firing Device
a. A firing device is necessary in the initiation and
detonation of any explosive charge.
b. When initiated, the Non -el firing device transmits a low
energy signal or spark, reliably through sharp bends or
kinks to the blasting cap, which will detonate the
explosive charge.
4. Types of Charges
a. Blasting caps, Det Cord, and firing devices are used to
create folding linear charges, sliding hinge charges,
water charges, frame charges, etc. Collectively, these
charges are referred to as "shape charges."
b. Shape charges are so designated due to the flexibility of
Det Cord, and the ability to cut it to specific lengths, and
then additionally, shape it to meet the needs of entry
personnel.
Revised October 2017 Page 32
B. Training & Certification

Less Lethal Deployment
Purpose:
This policy provides guidance for the purchase, storage, transportation, handling
and deployment of less lethal impact projectiles and establishes reporting
procedures for their use. All SWAT Team members are responsible for
understanding and complying with this policy.
Definition:
For the purposes of this policy, less lethal impact projectiles are defined as those
munitions that can be fired, launched or otherwise propelled for the purpose of
encouraging compliance, overcoming resistance or preventing serious injury
without posing a significant potential of causing death. Examples of less lethal
impact projectiles include beanbags, launch able wooden, foam or rubber batons,
rubber pellets and other like items.
Persons Authorized to Use Less Lethal Impact Projectiles:
Only personnel who have successfully completed a SWAT Team approved
annual training course in the proper use and deployment of less lethal impact
projectiles shall be authorized to use them during actual operations.
Justification for Use:
The employment and use of these devices are decisive actions that can
assist in achieving the goal of protection of life and property and/or the
restoration of order. They should be considered whenever the use of less
lethal options would assist in enabling an arrest, restoring order and/or
reducing the risk of more serious injury. Circumstances justifying the use of
these munitions include, but are not limited to:
Restoration or maintenance of order during jail or civil disturbances..
Safely controlling violent persons
Subduing vicious animals
Situations wherein the authorizing person deems their use
necessary to safely resolve the incident
Revised October 2017 Page 37
Reporting:
The use of less lethal impact munitions constitutes a use of force and, as such,
must be reported in accordance with standard departmental force reporting
procedures.
Storage, Transportation & Handling: Storage of less lethal munitions should
conform to manufacturer's recommendations. Generally, they should be stored in
their original container in a cool, dry place. Munitions which have been removed
from their original container shall be clearly and conspicuously identified as "less
lethal" to prevent confusion with lethal munitions. Under no circumstances shall
less lethal impact projectiles be kept in a manner, which might lead to confusing
them with lethal munitions. Generally, they should be stored in a separate
container or cabinet or on a separate shelf, which is clearly marked. Except as
previously noted, less lethal impact projectiles should be transported in
accordance with the department's customary policy or practice for small arms
munitions.
Under no circumstances shall any person be authorized to tamper with or alter in
any manner, any less lethal impact projectiles. Misfires and duds shall be
recovered, rendered safe and removed from service. Appropriate notifications
shall be made and munitions, which have malfunctioned or are damaged, shall
be handled according to departmental policy governing other types of
ammunition. Upon receiving any munitions, the person actually employing them
is ultimately responsible for ensuring that these munitions are "less lethal" and
used in accordance with departmental policy.
Procurement & Inventory Control:
These munitions shall be procured in accordance with normal departmental
purchasing procedures. Inventory, serviceability, and tracking shall be the
responsibility of the Team Commander or other designee responsible for
handling other types of munitions.
Procedures

dangerous persons who are non-compliant or demonstrate violence towards law
enforcement or other persons. It shall be the policy of Thurston County SWAT
Team that officers will only deploy less lethal munitions with the authorization of
SWAT Commander or in situations where authorization is not able to be
garnered due to the expedient nature of the incident. All less lethal munitions will
Revised October 2017 Page 38

responsible for the deployment of such munitions shall be trained, tested and
certified.
Thurston County SWAT Commander will have full control of all less
lethal agents and their use.
Thurston County SWAT Commander shall consult with the Incident
Commander on the deployment of less lethal munitions.

aid to suspects, officers and / or civilians who may be struck by less
lethal projectiles.
Only authorized less lethal munitions or devise will be utilized by
Thurston County SWAT.
The Thurston County SWAT Team uses less lethal munitions in situations where
the suspect or suspects are combative, non-compliant, and / or a threat to public
safety. The main reason for the use of less lethal is to resolve the situation as
peacefully as possible both to the suspect and other bystanders.
The SWAT Team has a large variety of less lethal munitions and they can be
used in any situation that the SWAT Team Commander approves.
