When an employer grants leave or time off of work to employees for medical or health reasons, the employer shall treat leave requests to address medical or health care needs related to an individual's gender expression or gender identity in the same manner as requests for all other medical conditions.

(2) Reasonable accommodation. An employer shall provide reason-able accommodation far a disability when the disability is related to the individual's gender expression or gender identity, absent undue hardship to the employer_ Such reasonable accommodation includes, but is not limited to, medical leave for medical and counseling appointments, surgery,and recovery from surgery that are related to gender reassignment procedures and treatments, An undue hardship as a reason for denying an accommodation in situations involving disabilities related to gender expression or gender identity shall be analyzed in the same manner as with accommodations for any other disability. To the extent consistent with personal medical information connected to other disabilities, personal medical information connected to disabilities related to a person's gender expression or gender identity must be kept confidential, (3) Nothing in this section is intended to suggest that a per-son's sexual orientation or gender expression or gender identity itself is a disabling condition.

Employee benefits provided in whole or in part by an employer must be consistent between all employees and equal for all employees,regardless of the employee's sexual orientation or gender expression or gender identity. For examples it is an unfair practice to: (a) Provide health insurance coverage to an employee's oppositeldifferent sex spouse but to fail to provide health insurance coverage to an employee's same sex spouse (except in situations where such a rule is prohibited or preempted by federal law.) (b) Provide parental leave or bonding time for the father of a child newly born or adopted into a heterosexual relationship, but fail to provide the same parental leave or bonding time to the parent of a child newly born or adopted into a same-sex relationship.

Report ❑ pending legislation ❑ executive session AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Draft Amended 2016 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 35.77.010 PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Council Adopted the 2016-2021 Six Year TIP on June 23, 2015, Resolution #15-005; Council approval for TIB Grant Applications on July 14, 2015; Recreation and Conservation Office Grant Funding Resolution 14-004 for the Appleway Trail; and Info RCA on January 26, 2016 for the Amended 2016 TIP. BACKGROUND: Council adopted the 2016-2021 TIP based upon information staff had at that time relative to available funds and how these funds could be utilized for transportation projects. Since the adoption of the 2016-2021 TIP, staff submitted grant applications for the following projects that were selected for funding that will begin in 2016: • Appleway Trail, Sullivan to Corbin (Recreation and Conservation Office Grant and WA State Legislature) • McDonald Rd Preservation Project (Transportation Improvement Board (TIB)) • Opportunity Elementary— Safe Routes to School (SRTS) (Bowdish Rd) (TIB) • Mirabeau Pkwy & Pines (SR-27) Traffic Signal (TIB) • Sprague Low Impact Development (LID), Park to University (ECOLOGY) Additional proposed changes identified in the Amended 2016 TIP include the following: Added Projects: The City's has identified Fund 311 Pavement Preservation projects in the City's 2016 budget which add these projects: • Broadway Preservation, Sullivan to Moore • Sullivan Rd Preservation, Spokane River to Flora Pit Road • 32nd Ave Preservation, Dishman Mica to Pines • Saltese Ave Preservation, Houk to 24th Carryover projects from 2015: • Indiana/Evergreen Transit Access, Indiana at Evergreen • Pines (SR-27)/Grace Intersection Safety Project, Pines (SR-27) at Grace Ave • Citywide Safety Improvements (Bike/Ped) • ITS Infill Project (CN) • Citywide Traffic Sign Upgrade Based on this information, it is recommended that the 2016 TIP be amended to include projects where the City was awarded grant funding and projects that were not completed in 2015. Since the City uses Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) monies as matching funds for state and federal grants, this amendment to the current-year TIP is necessary to meet the state law that requires REET funds to only be used on projects that have been identified in an adopted plan. Attached is a summary of the proposed changes. A public hearing on these changes to the 2016 TIP is scheduled for February 9, 2016. Adoption of the Amended 2016 TIP is scheduled for February 23, 2016. OPTIONS: Discussion RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Discussion BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The projects costs shown in the draft Amended 2016 TIP are preliminary and may be adjusted prior to adoption to reflect 2015 year-end adjustments. There are sufficient capital project funds to meet the local match requirements for these projects.

BACKGROUND: Developing options for a permanent City Hall building has been a Council budget goal for the past several years. Earlier this year, the City closed on 3.38 acres of property at the former University City Mall site. At the February 17, 2015 Council workshop, staff discussed the selection process for architectural firms to design the building. At the March 17, 2015 Council meeting staff updated the Council on the selected design firm and discussed the draft professional services agreement for the project. At the March 24, 2015 meeting, the Council authorized the City Manager to contract with Architects West to design the site and building. The architect team conducted a public meeting on May 6, 2015 and met with councilmembers and staff to finalize the program and discuss design parameters for the building. The project team updated the Council on the design process and displayed two potential concepts on September 15, 2015. Council indicated a preference for one of the concepts which was approved on September 29, 2015. Interior color and material options were discussed on November 18, 2015 and a general heating and cooling discussion was held on December 1, 2015. A general discussion on interior and exterior details occurred on December 29, 2015. The discussion tonight will update Council on the status of the design.
