South Puget Sound Habitat for Humanity is a builder of affordable homes for low- income families in Thurston County. A low- income family can own their own home for about $750 a month with a zero interest loan. The home is built in cooperation with the family in need. They must put in 250 hours assisting with the construction of their home. This offers shelter to those in need, stability and equity to those in the workforce, disabled and the elderly. The money to build these houses comes from the Habitat for Humanity Stores and some government funding. The stores receive furniture and construction material donations, which are sold and in turn fund the homes. 33 Units are currently being built in Lacey and in time, Habitat for Humanity would like to build in Yelm. Mr. Andino introduced Caleb White, Manager of General Retail Operations and the Yelm Store Manager, Keith Anderson. Councilmember Hendrickson thanked Mr. Andino for the presentation and stated he recently purchased a stove at the Yelm store. Everyone at the store was very nice and professional. Councilmember Littlefield asked where most of the items in the stores come from. Mr. Andino stated they are by donation. They will even come to a location to pick up merchandise for the store. From January of this year to date, 1800 tons of material was diverted from the garbage dump to the store for resale. People that have been given community service through the judicial system come and clean the donated items for resale. Councilmember Foster thanked Mr. Andino, asked about the process to obtain a Habitat for Humanity Home, and asked why they have not built in Yelm yet. Mr. Andino stated there are about 40 applicants per home and constrained entirely by finances. The more governmental funding received, the faster houses will go up. Councilmember Isom asked what the percentage of the Habitat for Humanity home ownership retains ownership. 45 homes have been built and they have had no foreclosures. In Mr. Andino's ten years with Habitat for Humanity, only two families have been asked to move out of the homes.

Skate Park Design and Construction Management Contract Page 1 of 16 City of Yelm STAFF REPORT From: Shelly Badger, City Administrator Date: March 6, 2015 (for March 24, 2015 City Council Meeting) Subj: City of Yelm Skate Park Design and Construction Management Contract Approval Attach: BCRA Scope and Fee Recommendation Authorize Mayor Harding to sign a contract with BCRA in the amount of $107,915 for the design of the new skate park to be located at 203 First St. S (SR 507). Background In 2014, the City began the design of a new Community Center to be constructed in City Park. The existing skate park and police building were demolished in the summer of 2014. The new skate park is scheduled to be relocated to the old Public Works Yard located at 203 First St. S. Before design and construction are to begin, two underground storage tanks were to be evaluated for leaks and removed. These tanks were removed on March 4, 2015. Preliminary indications are that the UST's did not leak and no soil remediation is necessary. Current Situation With the completion of the UST removal, the City can now move forward with design of the skate park. City staff have engaged with BCRA to refine the scope and fee. This scope does include design and construction management tasks and the fee is within an acceptable percentage of the overall project cost. Design is anticipated to take three months and construction another four months. A Community Development Block Grant was awarded to the City for the completion of this project in the amount of $439,208.

Skate Park Design and Construction Management Contract Page 11 of 16 EXHIBIT E GEOTECHNICAL SCOPE OF SERVICES 1.1 Geotechnical Engineering Study 1.1.1 Subsurface exploration for the project would be conducted using a rubber -tired backhoe to excavate a series of exploration pits across the parcel. Subsurface conditions encountered in the explorations would be observed and logged by an engineering geologist or geotechnical engineer from our firm. 1.2 Infiltration Rate Assessment 1.2.1 Where soils are known to exhibit high infiltration rates similar to the site's recessional outwash soils, it is possible to correlate infiltration rates from grain size (sieve) data using the Massman equation per the 2012 Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington. Therefore, we propose to develop preliminary infiltration design rates based on grain size distribution data from 6 soil samples. To estimate depth to seasonal high ground water, we will utilize local Ecology water well logs. We have also included in our scope of work organic content and cation exchange capacity testing, and to assist the project civil engineer evaluation of the water quality treatment characteristics of the soil in the proposed infiltration area. Submittals: Our findings and recommendations would be presented in o written geologic hazards and geotechnicol engineering report to include the following minimum information: o. A description of surface and subsurface conditions on the site; b. Site preparation recommendations; c. Recommendations for structurolfill placement; d. Geologic hazards (including landslide hazards) and recommended mitigation; e. Erosion hazards and mitigation; f. Type(s) of suitable foundotion(s); g. Depth to foundation bearing sediments; h. Allowable foundation soil bearing pressures; i. Temporary cut slope recommendations; j. Drainage and erosion considerations; k. Seismic considerations; I. Preliminary design infiltration rote recommendations; m.

Additional authorized services would be provided as outlined on the Schedule of Charges. 1.2 We have not included pavement design in our scope of work, but could add this service at the request of the Client. The pavement design would be based on traffic count data provided by others. 1.3 Prior to our exploration, AESI will notify the one -call utility locating service to locate buried public underground utilities at the site. Locates conducted through the one -call locate service typically do not cover water or sewer pipes on private property, or other privately owned utilities. For this reason, we have included a private utility locate in our cost estimate below. Buried utilities locatable through a private locate are typically limited to those constructed of a conductible metal or buried with a conductible tracer wire. Non - conductible utilities, such as those constructed of plastic or concrete, or those containing non - continuous conductible segments, are typically not locatable. The only way to locate non - conductive privately owned utilities is by the use of accurate and complete as -built drawings. Depending upon depth and location, not all metallic utilities may be locatable. If available, we request that we be provided with as -built plans of known existing utilities prior to commencement of our exploration work. AESI will not be responsible for damage to buried utilities that are not marked on the ground prior to our work, or shown on as -built plans that are provided to us. 1.4 The exploration pits will be backfilled using the same material originally excavated from each pit. The pit backfill will be loosely tamped into place by the backhoe, but some settlement of the backfill and disturbance to the site should be expected. Page 2 of 2 Agenda Item 8. d.

Resolution No. 556 -2015 Water Conservation Program Page 1 of 9 City of Yelm STAFF REPORT Grant Beck, Director of Community Development March 13, 2015 (for March 24th City Council Meeting) Subj: 2015 Water Conservation Program — Commercial Irrigation Recommendation Adopt Resolution Number 556 restricting the use of water for irrigation pursuant to Section 13.04.097 Yelm Municipal Code and establishing policies and procedures for the implementation of water conservation measures in 2015. Background The City Council adopted a water conservation program in 2010 that established a water budget for each water customer with an irrigation meter. The budget was based on the amount of water according to the Washington Irrigation Guide needed to maintain healthy and productive landscaping, or the customers use in 2009, whichever was less. This program was anticipated to reduce irrigation usage in half. The program was highly successful and water customers saved over 65 million gallons (200 acre feet) of water since 2010. These water savings, along with residential water conservation, helped to realize the City's conservation goals and extend the life of existing water system infrastructure. The Council has continued the program each year since 2010. The proposed 2015 water conservation program is identical to the 2014 program with water budgets established by the Community Development Director based on the criteria originally adopted by Council in 2009. This year, those users whose water Budget (cf) Actual Usage (cf) 2009 N/A 2,992,847 2010 966,394 909,027 2011 1,026,235 753,981 2012 1,132,895 791,635 2013 1,213,034 805,036 2014 1,466,496 1,091817 The proposed 2015 water conservation program is identical to the 2014 program with water budgets established by the Community Development Director based on the criteria originally adopted by Council in 2009. This year, those users whose water Agenda Item 8. e. Resolution No. 556 -2015 Water Conservation Program Page 2 of 9 budgets were based on 2009 actual usage were updated to be based on the Washington Irrigation Guide. The total amount of water allocated for irrigation in 2015 includes approximately a 2.5% unallocated reserve for the purpose of adding new customers. The requested 2015 irrigation budget is 1,500,000 cubic feet (34.44 AF). Current Situation Weekly notices of water usage will be sent to the irrigation customers with usage that is abnormally high, but not to all irrigation customers. Personal contact with those customers using water at a rate that will result in over budget usage will be made weekly. Personal contact will also be made as customers near their 2015 total budgeted amount. It is recommended that Council adopt Resolution 556, establishing a water conservation program for 2015.

Becker's Capitol Bulletin - March 6, 2015 Edition CAdAIL 1 11 W E t1S:t; "t°E i11043R P HY March 6, 2015 I &r wid N& hII Irs On Thursday we reached the halfway point of the regular legislative session. From early morning until late each night, every day this week was devoted to debating and voting on bills that will now be considered by the House of Representatives. Each chamber has until next Wednesday to send any legislation over to the opposite chamber — the exception being for bills that will be in the budget package. This is the next of the deadlines intended to help finish our job in Olympia within the 105 days allowed by our state's constitution. Earlier this week I was thrilled to lead the Senate in honoring the Bethel School District superintendent, Tom Seigel (see photo). Even if you live in a different school district, you are likely aware of Tom and that he is the driving force behind the Pierce County Skills Center. What began as a vocational - technical high school for Bethel only in 2006 grew into a facility that is serving students from many Pierce County school districts today. The schools in Bethel have seen big improvements under Tom's leadership and his commitment to the community at large is truly inspirational. I ° "' s u is froiiiiin iiii,iny coiiiiiniiiiinwflIy swrvey The response to my survey was overwhelming! I received a broad range of ideas for improving state government as well as suggestions for how I can serve you better. I thank the folks who took the time to provide this valuable feedback. Here's a snapshot from my big picture question: f 9 a [°how iiµ g)ve rnrrie In t d o ,rig I' q�. i Look for a new survey in a future Capitol Bulletin! h °° °1111 us of IIII" III iiii s tst liii s c nsl4&rs tiiii s iri s IIII tst liii iiii a paclkage On Monday, after days of debate, the Senate passed two more bills as part of the transportation- revenue package. A total of 10 bills related to this package are now being considered by the House of Representatives. Voting in favor of the first eight bills was easy. I think we can all agree that holding the state's transportation department more accountable is a good thing. The bill that listed the more than 75 transportation projects that will be tackled around the state was also an easy vote. As rural residents we know finishing State Route 167 to the Port of Tacoma and making improvements to Interstate 5 through the Joint Base Lewis - McChord corridor will get us home to our families sooner and entice businesses to locate in our area. Saying yes to the revenue bill, however, was the single hardest vote I have ever taken. I'm not in favor of more taxes, but the rubber has literally hit the road with our state's infrastructure; our highways are crumbling, bridges are degrading and unfinished projects and gridlock are hampering economic development. It's no different than what homeowners face: when my aging furnace breaks down and can't be repaired any longer, I must -- as much as I don't like it -- spend the money to replace it. I'm pleased the Senate package fully funds each of the projects on the list, so they will be 100 percent completed. It also contains some very effective consumer protections — including one that will keep fuel - related revenue from being diverted for other uses, instead being put toward roads and bridges. I understand that no one — including me — wants to pay higher prices at the pump, but folks have told me they would be willing to invest more in the infrastructure if there were meaningful reforms that would protect their investment and stretch their dollars. I can tell you it's those reforms and the strength of the projects that make this package so much better than previous proposals, as well as what the Legislature adopted in 2003 and 2005. This package is not a done deal. Passing it out of the Senate was the first of many steps. I'm certain the House Transportation Committee will make changes and the package may end up on the Governor's desk or it may not. I'll keep you posted as the bills progress. III caIIII boys IIII ead S& ate pIIIedge III On Monday, 8 -year old Joseph and 9 -year old Samuel, who attend Ptarmigan Elementary School in Orting, led the members of the Senate in a recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance as part of our opening ceremonies. As the one who brought this new custom to the Senate chamber it was gratifying to see my friends from home participate. I feel strongly that our children should be learning and reciting the pledge at school and adults are no different. It is a privilege to live in America and we should all be reminded of the freedoms we enjoy. is iiii t ucIIII I'm expecting to spend more long hours on the floor of the Senate chamber early next week. Between votes, I find time to read every email and message my office receives. So I hope you'll keep in touch either through enialill or by calling my legislative assistant, Tiffani, at (360) 786 -7602.
