City Council - Regular Meeting

and our staff for including me in the avenue 101 civics academy and I think this would be another great opportunity for us not only to learn more about our city operations but I'm hoping I can find more opportunities to help connect our community with our kids. So I I thank you for your consideration that Thank you. Anyone else like to speak? Oh, okay. We'll move on then to our consent agenda. Agenda. Oh, I'm sorry. Sorry. I move along too quickly. Oh, no. It's okay. I was trying to get up. Thank you.

Hi, I'm a resident here. I'm a resident here in the city and I'm concerned about the EMS um raise on what we'll be paying every month on our bill. I don't understand why it isn't on the tax roles and for to vote in to almost double the price and us have no say. Why is it not on the tax ro so we vote on it? I don't really understand this. This is a very poor community and this doesn't seem reasonable to me. I just think it should be considered that this is needs to be put on the tax roles. So, we're paying it out of what we do instead of on a monthly basis. It's unreasonable. $67 a month is a lot to put on people. And for every household that's taken it up to 5,349,000 or and I was only counting 6,600 homes in the area. And I don't know how far out that all reaches for this, but um it just seems very unreasonable for such a poor community. I'll be paying $200 a month on my water bill now or you know and these other things are included but $200 is a lot. Most of us are retired or poor. Same difference. I think but uh I think it should be really be considered be put on the tax so people have a choice. That's what we're supposed to do in this country is vote in what we want. We're not asked how much what's next. I just think it needs consideration more.

I appreciate you listening. Thank you. Thank you. Is there any other question? Motion to approve tonight's consent agenda which includes the minutes of the January 10th meeting accounts payable and second discussion all in favor.

Okay. Then we'll go on to the mayor's report and I just wanted to um couple things. So um I attended the downtown association meeting last week and it was very nice. I'm just going to let you know I did specifically anyway. Uh uh also uh last week I attended the city action days in Olympia and uh I attended the funding public safety and criminal justice uh housing proposals. Um I chose not to attend their legislative reception on day two. I I did attend a legislative update, a national legal cities update, and uh state forecast and budget overview. Um yesterday I visited the Oakland High School. I hadn't been there since 1977 when I graduated, but um part of the our advisory committee, nice group of people there. Um, so I also wanted to put out this suggestion if anybody's interested in joining. I I'd like a group of citizens and council people, anybody um to help uh us put together our Christmas package. We're going to roll out new Christmas decorations uh this year. And I'd like us to have I want Avenue to be a place that people come to look at our lights. I really want this to be the place. I love Monoseno and their parades and I think they do an excellent job of that. We don't want to take anything away from that. But I also want people coming into our city whether it's in South Aine or this side to want to stop and look at our Christmas. And um so that would also include um

trying to this group would meet with some of the downtown business owners uh property owners to see if we could fill up they could build things up for the holiday shops just not like they used to do in the malls when we had a mall here but every holiday. also looking to bring back um the job parade and bike parade and the samores on K Street that we did before I had the funding taken away from because I was the mayor. So I think there must be a way we can continue that. And then uh also creating uh some kind of a city light home decorating contest and we get businesses to uh supply us with some gifts and maybe a big fat sign that says Wayne so that when our trolley goes through it is it's very successful every holiday and we like them to see lots of lights and not as many houses with no lights on. Um anyway, so uh this funding that we have for this for the holiday decorations comes from money that was put in the budget this this year. Um it comes from some ELAC funds that uh director Barn applied for and then um speaking with uh Grace Harvard Community Foundation, they said they um would like to get a letter from us of intent and they would like to help us out also. So, uh, so that concludes my little recording. Uh, let's see here. Administrator Clemens isn't here, so we don't have that to deal with, but we didn't have a student representative here that might like to give us a report. Go ahead, Josh.

All right. Hello, council. I have spoken directly with high school students as well as conducted an online poll which was mostly completed by parents and grandparents both in my inerson conversations and the poll showed that students want more involvement with crosswalk and traffic safety around the school and more job/volunteer opportunities. I would also like to note that Aine High School cheer will be leaving for for the state competition on February, no on Friday the 6th and will perform Saturday the 7th at 5:40 p.m. at Battleground High School. Please wish us the best as they represent our school and community. Thank you.

Thank you. Good luck. Um yeah, you know what just mentioned about the improved traffic lights around the high school there. We don't have the lights there per se, but we do have a lot of stop signs that when there's a big event, there's a lot of things going on, people just blow through those stop signs and there are kids all over the place. So, um, we talked about putting a lighted some lighted stop signs. Um, we're looking at the price that seems or the council has discretionary. But, thank you. All right. Uh, any director report? Uh, any directors? Director Scott.

Thank you, U, Mayor and Council. I'm going to try to make this as brief as possible. I'm going to do our year-end wrap-up report for community development. And you don't have it before you, but I will email it out to you all. Um, the community development department team is comprised of four divisions. The building division, the code compliance division, the planning division, and the property maintenance division. The building and prosperity maintenance division during 2025 continue to foster an atmosphere that is conducted to building development and construction. This building division has three employees. the building official, the building inspector one in charge of our rental program and also the permit technician/blood plane administrator. This division is responsible for reviewing construction plans for compliance with building plumbing mechanical energy and barrierfree design codes herds and ordinances. This division issues permits for new and remodel construction projects, flood plane requirements and etc. In 2025, this saw our record highest year ever in permit revenue at $1.4 million. We issued a total of 1764 permits. This also includes a total of 94 new housing units. And in the housing units, it is new houses, additions, bedroom additions, ADUs, which are accessory accessory dwelling units, apartments, triplexes, forplexes, and manufactured homes. If you remember last year, we did 181. So, we're definitely meeting the housing needs, and this is from a city that went years with zero new construction. So, the last two years in particular have been very good for us in housing. Um we had uh 14 demolitions that were done in 2025. Two of them were done by the city. The rest were done by property owners and homeowners. So that is really good. There are years that we did all of

the demolitions. But we have been working very feverly with our property owners to do their own demolitions. Um, one of the other things is we uh our building official John Padet instituted a program where he has been working with property owners who don't have the funds to remodel. They're sitting on vacant homes and they just want to walk away. So, he's been putting those people in touch with a list of contractors who have signed up with the city to make arrangements for them to pick up those properties for whenever the purchase price is and and go forward with remodel. And that has been successful. We've had several of that happening. So, that's been wonderful. We're trying everything in our power to not have to spend the city's money on demolitions. One of the big things that is a challenge for us is uh when you see a house that burns or a structure garage um we don't the homeowner can grab the insurance and walk away and leave us also domesticated. So that has also been a challenge as well. So sometimes when you see a bird structure, we have to wait for the insurance company to get done, the fire department to get done, but they're pretty quick. Um, but we're left holding the bag and the early abatement, which is a large expense to the city, but we've been trying to work our way through that and we're getting ahead. Um, we did of that we have uh 49 cases that are on our abatement list that are there that are actively being remodeled. So again that that's our department working really hard in making sure that we are getting a cooperation from our citizens. Um the division also performed 146 rental inspections rental inspections for the city in 2025. That's a lot of inspections. We have approximately 485 rental licenses and that's a little misleading because it is one license for say like the uh the apartment complexes

that may have hundreds of apartments. It's one license. So we actually have over 2,000 units listed and registered within the city and they get inspected every 3 years. Um so that's been really good. And we were also able to close 92 rentals that were not previously registered, even roughly 59 units that weren't licensed. The code compliance division, which is everybody's favorite topic, uh received and investigated 394 nuisance complaints, which has been significantly down, and I think it's because we have been very proactive when before we've been reactive. So that's really cut down on the number of cases that actually call in and that's on conditions of private property. So we don't typically do anything in the right of way. It's just private property, but we have been helping um parking enforcement with some of the parking complaints that we've been getting on the right of way and George handles most of that. Um but we do help with that process. Uh most of the nuisance complaints as in previous years deal with garbage overgrown vegetation, parking, people living in recreational vehicles and homelessness. Code enforcement dealt with 65 complaints on people building without permits and assisted in finding 83 properties operating without rental licenses. This division houses two employees, code enforcement officer, and a code specialist. This crew is also out every morning walking the downtown and the parks to make sure that we are waking people up and moving people along. On average, it's usually anywhere from zero to about seven people that they wake up. So, we have seen a very much a decrease um in our unhoused population within city limits and they deal with a lot of camps as well, but they're out every day making sure that we're getting people garbage picked up and moved along. Is it perfect? No. But I think we've done a tremendous job from

where we were. Uh the planning division conducted roughly 20,200 land use permits and reviews which includes critical areas, shoreline permits, short subdivisions, CP checklist which are your land use checklists, uh building permits, historic preservation applications, etc. Um staff also review all business license applications that come in to make sure that they're in compliance for zoning in the areas they are for. And we began working on the library remodel projects which will come forward at the end of this year for construction. And this division houses one person which is new. Um the department as a whole we also staff the planning commission, historic preservation commission, the building code commissions, the hearings examiner, the development team and the economic development team. Um so I kind of just did a really high level overview. Um but this year in particular I was really proud of our staff $1.4 million record year. Our expenses including all abatement nuisance abatement was at 870. So, we were as a department able to turn over over a half million dollars back to the general fund. So, that is an um a record year, like I said, for us. Uh sometimes we were the ones sucking money from the general fund, but we're we've been, you know, for the last several years, we've been studying and taking care of ourselves and and taking care of the city. So, I you know, I will email all this out to you so you have it and I am available for questions if you guys have anything. I I I remember you mentioning something about if the contractor or someone who was doing work was not from Great Harbor that they were going to pay a higher amount for their permits. Am I remembering that that's Yeah, I think we char everybody pays the same. Our our permits are totally dependent upon what how much your project costs. So if you like uh I'll give you an example. We have um someone's replacing their windows and they're using an Anderson windows.

They're permits probably like $55,000. Someone just replacing basic windows for Home Depot, we need 15. So it the permits totally based on the value of the project. Okay. Including labor. Okay. No. No prevailing wage. No. The only time we get into that is when this the public works more so than anybody else. But anytime a city bids out a project to work on, we have

Okay. So when we tear anything down demolition wise, it costs us actually a lot more than the individual. So that's why we always try to get them to take care of their own. So if there's any questions, uh you guys know how to get a hold of me. Please feel free. Our door is open. If you have any discussions that you want to have with us or future directions or things that you'd like to know more about, come on in. We're always there. Thank you.

Congratulations. Uh so we have a presentation now from the spacehood authority for an update. Let's let's do that before we do the presentation council reports. start with you. Um, after the last meeting, young committees met and sorted out everyone's committee assignments for the year. I've worked with student representative Jacobs and public works to look at potent the potential of adding more lights to the crosswalks or lighted stock sites near AHS. I also worked with several staff members to have the full agenda packets posted online earlier so citizens have more time to read and review them. The packet this week was po for this meeting was posted on Friday the 23rd and they'll be posted on Monday before the meetings now extra day. I also just wanted to point out there is a community blood drive taking place at Grace River College on Tuesday, February 10th from 9:00 a.m. to 3 p.m.

I can hear it. Thank you. any other waiting for I got nothing. Okay. Okay. Go ahead.

Um so, uh this is from the public safety committee. Um so the police report, we um get a six-month comparison report. And there's a lot of numbers here, but um the total calls are down 3%. And if you don't count, traffic stops are down 11%. Um they have a police services officer that graduated from the corrections officer academy two weeks ago. Newest police officer Sean O'Donnell starts next week and then he will be going to the 17week basic law enforcement academy the following week. And they still have two PSO vacancies. That's the police services officer and one police officer vacancy for fire. Um they have a new battalion chief unit that went into service on Saturday the 17th and they actually selfbuilt this uh battalion chief unit and in so doing saved about $100,000 over what it would have cost to to buy that outright. Um there were three structure fires in uh one on the 19th, one on the 24th, one on the 27th and they also have some vacancies. Um they have one uh firefighter paramedic candidate currently going through the pre-employment process and they have applications for the fire for firefighter and paramedic that are open for the other.

Thank you. any other words. That's not my point. It sounds exactly. Okay. So now we'll go back to the shahas basin flood authority and and um let's see that must be ed and Scott I'm sorry and and Vicky rings yes

once again my name is Edmond I am the county representative on the flood authority and elected as vice chair just one piece of history has been the chair and I've been the vice chair for 15 years. So we we've served a lot. We serve a lot and I think this area has achieved a lot. I'm going to introduce Bachelor to you who staff who's been around here in your in your area and helping with projects. I just also want to say a little personal privilege. I like coming to Grace Harbor County. My parents were Dutch immigrants and they first came to graze her apparently when they came from sort of coming home to they used That's weird. Okay. I'm Scott Venture and I have a presentation for you. Uh I'm staffed to the Flood Authority and um am I sharing my screen?

It's not showing up, but you are listed as a presenter. So you should be able to I should be able to Oh, share. There we go.

There we go.

Looks like it. Okay, perfect. So, get this set up here. Okay. So, I'm Scott Benter. I'm staff to the Shannis River Basin Flood Authority. I've been with authority since 2013 or something like that. Yeah. Um, and this presentation is sort of an outgrowth of a meeting we had at the flood authority a couple months ago where we're kind of taking stock of some of the projects that we were doing in the lower basin and working with uh Nick and Rick on the pump needs that you all have and it really became sort of apparent to us that we've really done a lot of work down here and we wanted to share that with you and some of you are new council members and so today is about um uh sharing with you the work that all of us collectively with your departments and city of Oakland um have done to invest in the lower basin of respective floods.

That sounds okay. I'll proceed forward. Can you make sure to speak into the microphone? Thank you. Is that good? Yeah, that's great. Thank you. Um good. Okay. So flooding is not new to you. You know you have flooding. You've had flooding over um many many years. Um 21 federally declared disasters since 1964. Pictures you're probably all familiar with. I don't know how you fared this last series of atmospheric rivers. We did.

We did great. We didn't have any flooding. Good. Um the white so where you are we work in the whole basin. So we work at the headarters up in Pel all the way down to and geography is key. Okay. And so if you were to look at that crosssection of the Shahus basin up in PL in the upper leftand corner the basin is steep comes water comes pouring out of the hills and it starts coursing its way down quickly towards Shahalas and Centria and then it kind of flattens out and in Shahalas and Centriia there's Melon Street and there's a pinch point there and the water just can't get through there faster. So it all backs up I5 Shahal Cilia and that's why you'll see in the middle there kind of a lake thing. Then once it finally gets through into the lower basin, it spreads out really far and wide, you know. So of the upper basin, shale centriillia, 8 ft of water, 10 ft of water. Down here, you don't get that kind of depth, but it's all over the place. And so as you come on down, you get down to sea level and then it becomes very difficult to drain. Right? So that's that's the geography. You just, you know, you all know that intuitively where you live, but people in the upper basin don't know lower basin. People in the lower basin don't know the upper basin. Here's a picture that kind of reinforces the point that um you're at the lowest part of the basin. Everything flows down to you. Um it compounds when you have a

king tide or a tide and an onward pressure. It holds it all in. And so to uh evacuate waters out of Aberdine and Hokquium, um we spent a lot of time working with Rick and Nick and um their predecessors. Um in fact um we first came down here when Larry Bledo was your public works director back in 2013 and we started talking to him about a vision and a strategy for the roller basin because you have so many different subbasins. They don't have much elevation. you don't have a lot of ability to drain out. But the solution really becomes oh and then you also have aging infrastructure. So you have it's very difficult to drain. You have aging infrastructure. It's a horrible problem. And back in 2007 it was back in 2009 it was. Um but the solution and you all know this um is pumps and levies. Pumps and levies. That is what you can do. The upper basin, we're dealing with highly erosive, fast flowing water. We need protection. Middle part of the basin, we're trying to find a way to throttle and get the water out. Down here, we're trying to find ways to keep your cities dry and pump that water out. Okay. So, in 2012, um, with, uh, Bledo, we set up four little small projects. Wish River, Southshore Levy, Burger King Trail, and Market Street. They're going to be little dikes um on the river. Fast forward, those grew into what now is the Northshore Levy in the West segment. So, um we've been out down here helping you, working with you since 2012. 2016, um the county uh helped support the TimberWorks master plan process, which really laid out a vision for what could

happen down here, what this place could become. Quick little uh picture about pumps and levies. They work. That is the solution for you all. Uh this is a picture from the middle part of the basin, the airport. This is the 22 flood. And the pump would be um there's a picture of the pump on the left, but um it would be at the very end of the runway to the right. And it's basically keeping everything inside that levey system dry. And once your northshore levy and west segment go in, that's what you will look like too. Um the neat thing about this 22 flood was big flood. Um the uh all the businesses that were behind the levy, people went to work every single day. they kept producing and they kept generating tax revenue back to the state such that the million-doll investment for that pump or the million4 um it generates $45 million a year in invest tax revenue back to the state. So these things pay for themselves. Um so pumps and levies work for not only floods but for the economy. Um, here's a picture of the pump station that uh the Raymer Street pump station that we first one we did in Opium Bry Creek pump station. You're aware of that. But what I wanted to show you which we've been having some fun with is um we created a dashboard and web- based GIS dashboard. I'm going to show it to you in a minute. Um and I want you to just look at all the icons on the map. um because those are product of this partnership with the Shahalis River Basin Flood Authority, the office of Shahalis Basin and the Shahalis Basin Board. These people and these organizations have been working tirelessly for the last 18 years really when the Flood Authority

first got started um to where we are today. So, going to put on this link here. So, I'll make that a little larger. So the green pumps are pumps that are completed and in place. Yellow is a pump that's under construction right now. Um the white is a pump that's um still in need of design and then um the blue is a pump um that we're seeking funding for as well as two. So that's great pictures on a map, but if you were to look at Queen Street, for example, that pump was $2 million. It's protecting 493 people, protecting $41 million in assessed value, nine businesses. If we add in uh RMER Street, now we're at $3.3 million of investment. We're protecting 1.3,000 people, 116 million in assessed value, 17 businesses. And we'll add in 10th because that's done. Now we're protecting 1.4,000 people, 134 million, 33 business parcels. Fry Creek, $27 million invested, but we're protecting $281 million.

Um, 84 businesses. And then if we uh go to K Street, which is under construction right now, will be $30 million of investment. We're protecting 3.5 uh 3,500 people, 400 half a billion dollars in investment um and 132 businesses. Nick and I will be with the Sha Basin board on February the 5th seeking funding for the Farragate um help station. We're cautiously optimistic. Um if we get that funding then when that goes online um that would be fall late fall of 27th. Late fall of 27th going to go online 26 late fall of 26. Yeah. Another flood ceiling. Um those numbers go to Oops. 33 million 4.6 six 4,600 people, $500 million in assessed value. Um, leaving only uh Riverside and Division left to do. Riverside is a smaller one. That would bring us up to that. But division, we're trying, what we're really trying to do is get Farragut done um and get Riverside done so that the attention can go on to division because that's a big pump. And watch what happens to the numbers once that goes online. billion dollars of assessed value are protected and 10,000 people, 300 businesses. So with this process we've been in um we had been uh from 2018 when Rainbow Street came online to today um we've just been marching away getting pump done after pump done after pump done for the benefit of people and businesses down here um and the economy. So, um, pumps are one thing. I'll just show you

the parcels that they protect to. Kind of gives you another good visual of all the individual parcels. 4,700 parcels will stay dry. Stay dry. And these pumps are essential to the levy. So once these uh bumps are in place and the levy goes into place, you are in a completely different world than you were back in 2017. So um like we said at the very beginning of this presentation, this is the lowest part of the basin and um the upper basin enjoys um river forecasts. So from um PL all the way down to Porter Monos Porter area, the National Weather Service will give a forecast to tell you how high how high the river is going to get. From Porter on down here, you don't get those forecasts because it's a bit more complex to calculate the flow that's coming down and the tide that's going in. Um the weather service um is willing to work with us and so we put in um uh rain gauges, additional rain gauges as well as uh screen gauges and then we're going to put in a tide gauge um also. And once all those gauges are in and reporting then the National Weather Service will start developing their models so they can develop a lower basin forecast lower basin forecast. Then we're going to have from PL all the way down to Cosmopoulos a river forecast that people will know that the river is going to get to X height or Y height. And so when you think about where we all collectively were in 2007, we were surprised by the storm. We didn't know this the uh the severity of it. we

didn't have all these projects um to where we are today with a flood warning system and uh good river forecasts and pumps. It's a really remarkable um experience that we've all been part of and um we're happy to share all with you. So with that, this is sort of my quick little pitch. Um Edna is the chair of the flood for you. Um Vicki was our chair for many years. She still chair the space and board. Um Rick and Nick worked with us very closely. Um and then Brian Sheay is our vice chair. And so um we have very um quality thoughtful people participating in this process and um I think that the the fruits of their participation is now really showing that here and you're seeing it on the ground. So I just want so we came down to share this. So happy to take the questions. Stop. Sure. We have any questions? You want I think you guys have done a great job. Just since I've lived here since 2013, the flooding has totally changed. A lot less now. Good.

It's that giant umbrella we put over them. Thank you. Thank you. All right. Um that will be to request for council action with finance chair. Uh unless make a motion requesting the city council adopt a proposed resolution for the finance committee that a public hearing be set for Wednesday, March 11th, 2026 for the purpose of discussing the city's EMS utility rate as required by RCW352176. Second

move second. Is there any discussion on this? All in favor of this request to adopt proposed resolution in finance that public hearing be set for Wednesday March 11th 2026 for the purpose of discussing the city's CMS utility rate as required by RCW3521 766 bigger IO Thank you.

Okay. Now go to public safety chairperson.

Uh make a motion requesting the city council approve the 2026 agreement between the city of Aberdine and the city of Cosmopolis for EMS services. Second. Is there discussion on this? You have your hand up. There's been a request that city council approve the 2026 agreement between the city of Aberine and the city of office. All in favor? I post. Thank you. Next, we go on to public works with chairperson. Uh let's see. The public works division has many ongoing projects. We'll just try to list off everything that we mentioned yesterday. uh highway railway separation in Northshore Valley US 101 safety early pump station resist water treatment the rain inspection and bridge are all new. So thank you to staff here and very welcome to Mr. Uh we've got one item on today's agenda. It's a resolution requesting city council adopt the page resolution that a public hearing is set for February 11th, 2026 to receive public testimony annual project plan.

Accept this motion. Second considering discussion see request by city council to adopt the proposed resolution that a public hearing be set for February 11, 2026 to receive public testimony on the proposed annual project plan for the year 2026. All in favor? I I Uh now we'll go back to public comments. If there's any additional public comments, please start with your name and your uh ward or your city and keep your comments nice if you can. All right. Oh,

April third board. It's I don't know how to explain this, but I was just wondering how this town and city officials feel about what going on. Terrible stuff going on in the world that it's hitting close to home. And I'm talking about ice. We've had ice on our reservations when all my tribe ku and today they were on the squali. Now, our tribal presidents have told us in letters that all tribal members need to have our tribal IDs on us and our paperwork on us. This is pretty scary um to have ICE on our reservations. And um I just hope that this town is supportive of immigrants. Um I was at the state capital last week. I was a peacekeeper for um immigrant farmers making sure that eyes didn't grab no one. Um I had my eyes on this one girl and when she looked at me and said, "Are you my bodyguard?" And I told her parents, I said, "If I do see eyes," I said, "I'm throwing that girl over my shoulders and I'm running." Thankfully, there was no um nothing happened. It was a peaceful um day. But to have ice here in Grace Harbor and have, you know, people may think I'm Mexican. You know, I've had people think I'm Mexican in the past, but um I'm hoping that our town is supportive of not only natives, um immigrants,

Mexicans, anybody that is of color because these are some scary times. And family, I have family everywhere. I'm enrolled in Ku, but I have family in I have family in the squali. And we're all on tippy toes and we're all scared. Thank you.

Any other see any other com? Yesterday I sent out emails to all of you regarding House Bill 2489. you did not get a chance to review the email. There's a copy of the letter sent on each of your desks. Not only does this bill limit local government authority to address homelessness, it demands services that cities like ours and many others cannot afford. Opposing this is a core local government issue, not a partisan one. That said, I'd like to make a motion to the city council a letter of opposition to House Bill 2489 to the Washington State Legislature and to testify on behalf of the city council in opposition to House Bill 2489 before legislative committees or other legislative bodies as appropriate. Second and second. Is there any discussion? I would imagine you'd be attending with Ruth as well for the for the hearings

if she plans to speak as well. Yes. Yeah. Okay. I may have to attend virtually, but Okay. Any other discussion? Would it be acceptable to have a companion letter to go along for the people that are separate from the opposition um if this were to be approved you know if the council votes to support one direction and that's the direction the entire council goes. Okay.
