GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Not applicable. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: June 12, 2018 Budget Workshop request from Council that staff initiate the process for identifying and contracting with a government affairs firm that specializes in lobbying at the federal level, and specifically has expertise in federal transportation funding; administrative report July 24, 2018. November 6, 2018 administrative report; and November 13, 2018 approval of contract with Cardinal Infrastructure, LLC; and April 16, 2019 administrative report of proposed draft 2019 Federal Legislative Agenda. BACKGROUND: The City executed its agreement with Cardinal Infrastructure in November, 2018. Since that time, staff has worked internally to identify areas it felt would be appropriate for inclusion on a proposed draft federal lobbying agenda for consideration by the Council. In doing so, staff relied upon its knowledge and experience in working on the City's legislative agenda at the state level, as well as our understanding of the budgetary goals of the Council. Staff also discussed options with Bennett Resnick of Cardinal Infrastructure on several occasions to get input. The primary goal in contracting for a federal lobbyist was to try to get additional funding for large infrastructure projects. As such, the draft 2019 Federal Legislative Agenda identifies four major capital projects of importance to the City that we are seeking funding assistance with: Pines Road Grade Separation Project, the Sullivan Road Corridor Projects, the Barker Road Corridor Projects, and the Argonne Road Corridor Projects. Attached are four one-page handouts related to each project. Additionally, the proposed 2019 Federal Legislative Agenda requests changes to the way federal capital project funding occurs, including regulatory requirements, which make the process unnecessarily cumbersome and expensive. At its April 16, 2019 meeting, the staff, along with Bennett Resnick from Cardinal Infrastructure, discussed what information the Council may ultimately want to include in the final adopted 2019 Federal Legislative Agenda. There was consensus at that time to advance the draft presented to motion consideration at a subsequent Council meeting. Once Council adopts a 2019 Federal Legislative Agenda, it will be communicated to our federal legislative delegation, the United States Department of Transportation, the Federal Railroad Administration, as well as other relevant federal agencies. Additionally, it will be used by Council and staff when they travel to Washington D.C. May 7-9 to assist in their efforts to accomplish the goals identified in the adopted 2019 Federal Legislative Agenda. As previously mentioned, the four one-page handouts regarding specific projects are not being adopted as part of the Agenda because they are explanatory of what is in the adopted Agenda, and are subject to somewhat frequent change. As such, they should not be adopted by Council. Lastly, staff made one change to the draft, to include not just the total project cost, but also what the funding request is for each project, which for all four projects is less than the total project cost. OPTIONS: (1) Approve the proposed 2019 Federal Legislative Agenda as drafted; or (2) take other action as appropriate. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: I move we approve the proposed 2019 Federal Legislative Agenda as drafted. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The contracted amount is $78,000 annually, plus City costs for travel expenses to and from Washington D.C. STAFF CONTACT: Mark Calhoun, City Manager; John Hohman, Deputy City Manager; and Cary Driskell, City Attorney. ATTACHMENTS: Proposed 2019 Federal Legislative Agenda; project handouts. S�'po�kane jUalley 10210 E Sprague Avenue • Spokane Valley WA 99206 Phone: (509) 720-5000 • Fax: (509) 720-5075 • www.spokanevalley.org April 17, 2019 The following summarizes each of the City's priority projects included in the 2019 legislative agenda. Pines Road/BNSF Railway Grade Separation Project (GSP) Total Project Cost: $29.0 Million Funding Request: $23.9 Million (For the construction phase of project) The Pines Road/BNSF Railway GSP will replace an at -grade rail crossing on Pines Road (SR 27) with an underpass at the BNSF Railway tracks. The project accommodates BNSF Railway's future mainline track expansion that will provide a second mainline at Pines Road. The project will also improve the intersection of two state highways, Pines Road (SR 27) and Trent Avenue (SR 290), with either a roundabout or an upgraded signalized intersection. The existing project limits experience an average of 60 trains and 34,000 vehicles per day. In 2017, given an average train delay of 4 minutes per train, vehicles experienced over 27,000 hours of delay. Additionally, the Pines & Trent intersection experienced 27 collisions from 2014 to 2017, some of which resulted from vehicles delayed by train traffic at the Pines/BNSF crossing. The Pines Road/BSNF crossing is ranked 12th for improvement in Washington State by the State Joint Transportation Committee. The state has placed it first on its list of unfunded at -grade crossing projects. Sullivan Road Corridor Projects — Interstate 90 to Wellesley Avenue Total Corridor Cost: $66.5 Million Funding Request: $25.0 Million (For SR 290 interchange reconstruction) The Sullivan Road Corridor is a regionally significant corridor serving local, regional, and interstate traffic connections. This corridor is a vital arterial link providing service to the Spokane Industrial Park, Central Pre -Mix, Inland Asphalt, Inland Empire Distribution Systems and many other industrial, commercial and freight businesses. This corridor is also the terminus of the Spokane County's Bigelow Gulch Road Project, which is expected to be constructed by 2022. The Bigelow Gulch Project will link freight and commuter traffic between north Spokane to Interstate 90 (I-90) through Spokane Valley. The Bigelow Gulch Road project is expected to nearly double the peak hour traffic volumes on Sullivan Road at the Trent Avenue (SR 290) interchange. These travel demands require a series of transportation projects along the corridor: • Reconstruction of the Sullivan Road and Marietta Avenue Intersection Project and provide two westbound left turn lanes on Marietta Avenue to accommodate the growing traffic volumes. • Widen Sullivan Road from Wellesley Avenue to Trent Avenue (SR 290) to 5 lanes. • Installation of continuous roadway lighting between Wellesley Avenue and Trent Avenue (SR 290). • Replacement of the existing diamond interchange of Sullivan Road over Trent Avenue (SR 290) to accommodate future growth in the region. The Sullivan Road/Trent Avenue Overpass Project will consider improving Sullivan Road's existing 4 -lane crossing over Trent Avenue to a 7 -lane crossing with fully protected, signalized intersections or maintaining a reduced number of lanes but incorporating two roundabouts at the overpass's two intersections. • Installation of multi -modal accommodations to facilitate non -motorized transportation through the corridor, connecting people's homes to nearby schools, businesses, and parks. The City is currently underway with a 2019 update to the 2015 Sullivan Road Corridor Study that updates and re-evaluates project alternatives and will provide clear direction in 2019. Barker Road Corridor Projects — Appleway to Mission Total Corridor Cost: $90 Million Funding Request: $ 9 Million (For reconstruction from Sprague to Interstate 90) The Barker Road corridor is located near the east limits of Spokane Valley and extends from the City's north boundary at Trent Avenue (SR 290) to its south boundary at 10th Avenue. North of I-90, Barker Road provides access to over 800 acres of industrially -zoned properties and 220 acres of occupied residentially - zoned properties. There are nearly 500 acres of vacant industrial land and the City is facilitating rapid industry growth in the next three years along the corridor. The area south of I-90 is experiencing extensive residential growth within the City, within unincorporated Spokane County, and in neighboring Liberty Lake to the east. The City has nearly 1,000 acres of residential and mixed-use properties while Spokane County and Liberty Lake have another 2,000 combined acres of residential properties in the corridor. Barker Road accommodates almost all of this traffic. Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) recognizes that an improved interchange and bridge overpass at Barker Road and Interstate 90 is required by year 2030, but funding continues to be a challenge. During the peak hour, this interchange creates vehicle back-ups for the length of the off -ramps, stopping the east/west flow of I-90. The following improvements are required at the interchange: • WSDOT will provide interim improvements by 2021 at the eastbound I-90 interchange by providing a single -lane roundabout and additional approach lanes that will extend this failing intersection's lifespan for 5 to 7 years. However, a double -lane roundabout is ultimately required to meet the City's and WSDOT's required level of service. • WSDOT and the City of Spokane Valley are partnering in 2019 to design interim improvements at the westbound I-90 interchange. These improvements are similar in scope and life to what is identified for the eastbound interchange. Funding for the construction of these interim improvements has not yet been secured. • The full build out of the interchange will require that the existing, deficient, 2 -lane bridge be reconstructed to accommodate 4 lanes of traffic and acceptable clearance over I-90. Additionally, final configuration requires that the single -lane roundabouts at the interchange be retrofitted to double lane roundabouts. The area south of I-90 is experiencing a significant increase in residential growth within Spokane County and Liberty Lake. This increase also includes a new high school to the southeast of the project interchange. North of I-90 in the City's northeast industrial area, approximately 700 new jobs are expected in the next 5 years. Continued growth is expected in the foreseeable future, particularly with the 2021 completion of the Barker Road/BNSF Railway Grade Separation Project that provides a roundabout at Trent Avenue (SR 290), as well as triggering other additional required improvements: • Widening Barker to 5 lanes between Mission Avenue and Appleway Avenue. • Intersection Improvements: o Sprague Avenue & Barker Avenue o 4th Avenue & Barker Avenue o 8th Avenue & Barker Avenue • Reconstruction of Barker Avenue between Appleway Boulevard and the south city limit. Argonne Road Corridor Projects — Interstate 90 to Trent Avenue (SR 290) Total Corridor Cost: $20 Million Funding Request: $15 Million (For Interstate 90 Bridge Replacement) Argonne Road serves the entire Spokane region, and is rated by the State's Freight and Goods Transportation System as a T-1 freight route, carrying an average annual freight in excess of 10 million tons. North and south Spokane County are linked to I-90 by the Argonne corridor, the City of Millwood is bisected by the corridor, and the congested route carries 35,000 vehicles every day, 15% of which is freight. The project supports the East Montgomery Corridor Employment Center, home to 2,500 jobs. This is truly a regional project, impacting WSDOT's I-90, the City of Spokane Valley, the Town of Millwood, and Spokane County. For planning purposes, the corridor includes six signalized intersections starting at the Mission Avenue and extending north to the intersection of Trent Avenue. All six intersections fail during the morning, mid- day, and evening peak hours on any given day. A comprehensive retiming of all traffic signals will temporarily help alleviate congestion in the corridor, although, this would only be a temporary fix to the corridor's congestion problem. • The existing southbound Argonne Road bridge over I-90 is a critical bottleneck for the corridor. The deficient and undersized 2 -lane bridge must be replaced with a new concrete bridge that accommodates 3 lanes of traffic and provide adequate clearance over I-90. Additionally, the project may align with planned WSDOT improvements at the I-90/Argonne Road interchange where signal and lane improvements are anticipated. This bridge project will save five minutes of travel time for vehicles travelling from Trent Avenue (SR 290) to I-90. • Lastly, given the heavy use of the corridor, the pavement condition of Argonne Road consists of failing asphalt with heavy rutting and consistent potholes. A reconstruction of the roadway is necessary to remove seven lanes of failed asphalt and replace it with a reinforced concrete pavement. Streamlining the federal aid transportation project process: Initiatives to streamline the approval process for federally funded transportation projects should be a top congressional priority. The requirements for Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) administered projects change too often and projects do not have vesting rights. In Washington State, The Local Agency Guidelines (LAG) Manual establishes the statewide policies and standards to follow when using FHWA funds for transportation projects. This manual is updated twice per year, which leads to multiple changes in requirements for projects that span over a year. Generally, federally funded projects can cost up to 50% more and can take 50% to 100% longer to deliver. The process should be streamlined to add predictability to the review and approval process by allowing agencies to know what the requirements are in the beginning stages of the project. In addition, the acquisition of property rights must follow the Uniform Relocation Act, including temporary rights. These requirements are so stringent and add thousands of dollars to the project costs and months to project delivery. Agencies often pay 10 to 20 times more to acquire temporary construction rights when considering the costs of right-of-way agents for negotiations, appraisers for valuations and the time for these negotiations and valuations to take place. Pines Road/BNSF Railway sokane Grade Separation Project A Bridging the Valley Project 509-720-5000 www.spokanevalley.org Funding required 2023 construction $29 million total cost Secured Funding - $5.1 million • $3.2 million set aside by the city • $19 million Surface Transportation Block Grant Funding shortfall • $23.9 million Project focus The Pines Road/BNSF Railway Grade Separation Project is located in Spokane Valley, Wash., a city of nearly 100,000 residents. The city is situated in the largest Metropolitan Statistical Area between Seattle and Minneapolis, and home to several large industrial parks. The project will remove the existing at -grade crossing of a BNSF transcontinental rail line at Pines Road (SR 27), one of Spokane Valley's busiest arterial streets. In 2018, the Freight Mobility Strategic Investment Board (FMSIB) rated the Pines Road crossing as the highest ranked unfunded Tier 1 rail crossing in the state out of 4,171 total crossings based on freight mobility and safety. Eliminating the crossing is critical to improving vehicle and pedestrian safety, increasing freight mobility and enhancing economic vitality across the region. The crossing is adjacent to the intersection of Pines Road and Trent Avenue (SR 290), which serves 34,000 vehicles per day, including freight trucks traveling from Canada and northern Idaho that connect to Interstate 90. Improvements to the intersection will be constructed as part of the project. Key improvements • The grade separation project will replace the Pines Road crossing with an underpass and redesign the adjacent signalized intersection of Pines and Trent. In conjunction with a grade separation project underway at the nearby Barker Road/BNSF crossing, the Pines/BNSF project will eliminate three of the city's seven at -grade crossings (Barker, Flora and Pines). • The crossing is located 200 yards north of Trent Elementary. The new underpass will reduce congestion and improve safety for students, staff and parents. • The existing intersection and BNSF crossing limits development of 170 acres of mixed-use or commercially - zoned property, and 56 acres of prime industrial -zoned property. The project will increase access to this property and generate additional economic development. Prefect etails On average, 58 BNSF freight trains and two Amtrak passenger trains travel through the Pines Road/BNSF at -grade crossing each day. This results in 27,000 hours of vehicle delays annually, and at least five vehicle collisions from 2015 to 2017. BNSF has notified the city that it plans to add a second main track to the existing rail line, possibly as early as 2019. A second track will likely increase train traffic and vehicle delays. The grade separation project also includes improvements to the adjacent intersection of Pines and Trent. There were 27 collisions at this intersection from 2014 to 2017. The proposed alignment and intersection control (roundabout or signal) will be identified in 2019. The project supports the "Bridging the Valley"' initiative to improve safety, create more effective freight routes and spur economic development. Economic benefits Completion of the Pines Road/BNSF project will improve access to 170 acres of nearby mixed-use or commercial ly- zoned property, and 56 acres of prime industrial -zoned property that is currently undeveloped (see graphic below). Over time, the projected economic and tax impacts of this development include: • $1.3 billion in total economic output in Spokane County ($686 million in direct spending) • 8,719 new jobs supported in Spokane County (4,312 direct job impacts) • $8.2 million in new general fund taxes to Spokane Valley (25 years at 4 percent) • $101.9 million in new general fund taxes to Washington State (25 years at 4 percent) Undeveloped • Commercial Undeveloped Residential 0 Project Site Undeveloped Properties Pines Road/BNSF crossing Public safety and livability enhancements The project will significantly enhance vehicle and pedestrian safety, likely saving lives. In addition, it will greatly improve neighborhood livability. Overall the project: • Eliminates the Pines Road/BNSF crossing — saving three hours per day (average gate -down time) in vehicle wait time. • Improves commercial and residential traffic flow. • Enhances access to 1-90 and other main arterials in the Spokane Valley transportation network. • Increases access to key emergency services located on the south side of the city. • Enhances access to Trent Elementary for school buses, as well as students and families traveling to and from surrounding neighborhoods. • Eliminates 15 minutes of train horn noise per day at the crossing (based on 58 freight trains and two Amtrak passenger trains per day). Streamlining the approval process for federally -funded transportation projects would make this (and other projects) easier to administer, saving time and money. Federally -funded projects can cost up to 50 percent more and take 50 to 100 percent longer to deliver because of constant and extensive changes to the federal requirements. Initiatives to streamline review and approval processes for transportation projects should be a top congressional priority. City of Spokane Valley 10210 E.

This corridor is the terminus of Spokane County's Bigelow Gulch Road Project expected to be constructed by 2022. The Bigelow Gulch Project will link freight and commuter traff7c from north Spokane County to Interstate 90 (I- 90) through Spokane Valley and will nearly double the peak -hour traffic volumes on Sullivan Road at the Trent Avenue (SR 290) interchange. This corridor is a vital arterial link providing service to a robust commercial district on Indiana Ave., including the Spokane Valley Mall, Spokane Industrial Park, Central Pre -Mix, Inland Asphalt, Inland Empire Distribution Systems and many other industrial, freight and commerical businesses. Key improvements • Replace the existing diamond interchange of Sullivan Road over Trent Avenue (SR 290) to accommodate increased capacity and future growth in the region. • Reconstruct and signalize the Sullivan Road and Wellesley Avenue intersection. • Widen Sullivan Road from Wellesley Avenue to Trent Avenue (SR 290) to five lanes. • Upgrade sidewalks to ADA standards.

It is a north -south arterial that carries residential and commercial traffic from Spokane County's Bigelow Gulch and the City of Millwood into Spokane Valley and 1-90. Argonne connects 1-90 to State Route 290 (Trent Avenue), a main highway for commercial vehicles traveling from northern Idaho and Canada. The corridor serves 35,000 vehicles each day, including 4,500 commercial or freight vehicles. It is designated Tier 1, meaning it transports more than 10 million gross tons of freight annually. From East Mission Avenue just south of the I-90 interchange north to Trent Avenue, the corridor includes six signalized intersections. The intersections fail to move vehicles efficiently through the corridor during peal< traffic hours resulting in significant congestion and delays. In partnership with the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) and other agencies, the city has identified three primary strategies to improve congestion. Key improvements • Upgrade signals and timing to distribute traffic more effectively through the corridor, streamline traffic flow and reduce vehicle wait time. • Argonne's current pavement with its potholes and heavy rutting cannot support existing traffic loads. A reconstruction of the roadway is necessary to replace the failing asphalt with reinforced concrete. • The existing two-lane southbound bridge at 1-90 is a critical bottleneck in the Argonne Road corridor and does not provide adequate clearance over 1-90. The bridge does not currently have capacity to serve heavy loads and is weight restricted. It must be replaced with a new three -lane concrete bridge that will provide the needed capacity and facilitate traffic more efficiently and safely. ject details Washington State Improvements to the Argonne Road corridor will improve pedestrian and vehicle safety, and reduce travel time. Here are the project components: o SIGNAL UPGRADES - A comprehensive upgrade and re -timing of six traffic signals in the corridor, from East Mission Avenue north to Trent Avenue, will streamline traffic flow. New infrastructure such as signal poles, detection systems and ramp extensions will help distribute traffic more efficiently, resulting in reduced congestion, vehicle wait time and noise. While some signal coordination can be implemented in 2019 to provide short-term relief, more significant infrastructure improvements remain unfunded. Q PAVEMENT RECONSTRUCTION - Argonne Road's pavement is failing due to heavy commercial vehicles and significant traffic volume. A reconstruction of the roadway is required to restore the pavement condition and reconfigure travel lanes as needed for signal and intersection upgrades. This improvement will reduce travel times and vehicle noise. In addition, pedestrian facilities in the project area will be upgraded to meet current ADA standards. FUNDING REQUEST BRIDGE REPLACEMENT - The existing southbound Argonne Road bridge at 1-90 is a bottleneck for traffic, does not provide adequate clearance over 1-90 and is weight restricted. The deficient two-lane bridge must be replaced with a new concrete bridge that accommodates three lanes of traffic and provides sufficient clearance. A shared -use path will also be installed for pedestrian and bicycle use. This new bridge will save five minutes of time for vehicles traveling from Trent Avenue to 1-90. The bridge project may also align with planned WSDOT improvements at the 1-90 interchange where signal and lane upgrades are anticipated.

The area to the north is experiencing rapid industrial growth, and the areas to the south in Spokane County and east in Liberty Lake are seeing more residential expansion. Barker Road accommodates almost all of this traffic. Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) recognizes that an improved Barker Road interchange and bridge overpass at Barker Road and Interstate 90 (1-90) is required by the year 2030. During peak commuting times, this interchange creates vehicle back-ups for the length of the off -ramps, often backing up and limiting the east/west flow of 1-90. Key improvements • WSDOT will provide interim improvements by 2021 at the eastbound and westbound 1-90 interchange including single -lane roundabouts and additional approach lanes that will extend this failing intersection's lifespan for 5-7 years. • Long-term, there is a need to convert the 1-90 roundabouts to double -lane roundabouts to meet the city and WSDOT's required level of service. • Replace the Barker Road Bridge over 1-90 with a four -lane bridge to add needed capacity and provide a multiuse trail or sidewalk on both sides to allow for safe circulation of bicyclists and pedestrians. • Widen Barker Road to a five -lane urban section from Mission Avenue to Boone Avenue. • Widen Barker Road to a five -lane urban section from 1-90 to Appleway Avenue.

GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Chapter 3.49 SVMC. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Administrative report on April 23, 2019. BACKGROUND: Periodically, developers must utilize undeveloped portions of public right-of-way to provide access between their developments and the improved portion of the street in the right-of-way. To do so, the City may grant an easement to the developer to allow them to install necessary street connection improvements. Boone Avenue is a street that runs along the former Great Northern Railroad line. In many areas along Boone there are significant portions of undeveloped right-of-way between the improved street and adjoining properties. Mr. Victor Grant has proposed a subdivision (Arties Landing) of his property located south of Boone Avenue and has requested an easement over the undeveloped portion of the right-of-way to allow the subdivision to access the improved portion of Boone Avenue. The parties have agreed on proposed terms for an access easement. Generally, these include a right for the subdivision properties to access Boone Avenue, and the right for Arties Landing to install improvements to connect the private street within the subdivision to Boone Avenue. Arties Landing will be responsible for maintaining the improvements that it installs. The City has retained the right to take any necessary work in the easement area, including any necessary utility work. On April 23, 2019, City Council gave consensus to bring the proposed easement forward for motion consideration. OPTIONS: Approve the easement as drafted or with such other amendments as deemed necessary; or take other action deemed appropriate. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to approve the proposed access easement with Arties Landing HOA in substantially the form presented and authorize the City Manager to finalize and execute the easement.

GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Chapter 3.34 SVMC — Acceptance of donations and gifts; chapter 3.46 SVMC — Non -architectural and engineering services. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Over the years, the Spokane Valley Arts Council has donated a number of sculptures to the City for public display. On December 18, 2018 six previously donated sculptures were accepted by the City. Approval of Agreement with the Spokane Valley Arts Council on March 5, 2019. BACKGROUND: The Spokane Valley Arts Council (SVAC) is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization formed in 2004 for the stated purpose of working "with local businesses, civic leaders and artists to cooperatively conceive, develop and implement art -related programs and cultural activities." The SVAC has been instrumental in identifying projects to be constructed and located on property owned by the City for the cultural benefit of our citizens. As you are aware, The City and the SVAC just recently signed an agreement reflecting the partnership that has existed for years. One focus of the agreement was to identify the interaction between the SVAC and the Council on potential projects early enough so that the SVAC can timely work toward completing them in conjunction with funding through the outside agency process. Now that the agreement has been finalized, the SVAC is asking that the City consider the acceptance on a specific sculpture. Staff is bringing forward for a motion consideration the approval and acceptance of a Spokane Valley Arts Council donated sculpture entitled: "If I Could But Fly" by Bob Wilfong. The suggested location is the west lawn at CenterPlace Regional Event Center. The recommendation is to put this sculpture into storage until such time as the final Phase of the CenterPlace West Lawn Master Plan is completed. OPTIONS: (1) Accept donated sculpture as discussed; or (2) take other action as appropriate. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to authorize the City Manager to accept, on behalf of the City, the "If I Could But Fly" sculpture by Bob Wilfong which is to be placed into storage until the final Phase of the CenterPlace West Lawn Master Plan is completed. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The impact for accepting this sculpture and allowing it to be placed on City property would be the ongoing maintenance costs. The total is unknown as each sculpture is unique and located at a different location. STAFF CONTACT: Michael D.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: • February 13, 2018: Administrative Report and discussion with the Council regarding acquisition and installation of a generator at City Hall. • May 8, 2018: Administrative Report and discussion with the Council regarding generator options at City Hall. • May 29, 2018: Council adopted Ordinance 18-011 amending the 2018 budget to include $200,000 for a generator at City Hall. BACKGROUND: The design and construction of City Hall contemplated the future acquisition and installation of a generator on the City Hall site to meet electrical service needs in the event the power supply was interrupted. The site, as constructed, includes natural gas supply piping which terminates in a location designed to accommodate a future concrete pad for generator support within the fenced vehicle parking area located at the southwest corner of the building. The building, as constructed, includes electrical system components which allow for the main level and server room to be connected to a generator and served by uninterrupted back-up power. As part of previous discussions with Council, it was agreed to move forward with purchasing and installing a, dual -fuel, 250 kilowatt generator. Additionally, in discussions with Council, the option of purchasing and installing an emergency generator for the Police Precinct was agreed to by consensus. In the Fall of 2018, the City ordered a 250 kW generator for City Hall and expects its delivery in late May or early June 2019, at which time it will be installed. The City's electrical engineering consultant is currently completing the assessment and design of the generator acquisition and installation for the Police Precinct. Installation for the Police Precinct is expected in the Fall of 2019. OPTIONS: Discussion only regarding current project status. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: None at this time. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The 2018 General Fund Budget included $300,000 for generator acquisitions ($200,000 for City Hall and $100,000 for the Police Precinct) none of which was actually expended. At this time the 2019 Budget includes no monies for this project and we are asking that Council appropriate a total of $403,000 including a re -appropriation of the $300,000 initially budgeted in 2018 plus an additional $103,000 that is primarily a result of installation costs at the precinct being much greater than originally anticipated. A budget amendment to include the estimated costs, shown below, will be presented to Council at a later date.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: • September 12, 2006: Approval of application for federal grant funding for the Park Road Reconstruction Project. • June 24, 2008: Approval of 2009-2014 Six -Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), which included the Park Road project; • June 9, 2009: Admin Report to discuss engineering design contract. • June 16, 2009: Approved motion to award engineering design contract to CH2M Hill. • June 5, 2018: Council passed Resolution 18-003, adopting the Six Year TIP, which includes the Park Road project. BACKGROUND: The Park Road Reconstruction Project reconstructs and reconfigures Park Road from Broadway to Indiana into a three -lane urban section, including curbs, gutters, sidewalks and bike lanes. In 2008, the City applied for, and was awarded, a Congestion Mitigation/Air Quality (CMAQ) grant for $304,500 to fund the engineering phase. In 2010, the City applied for a grant from the Transportation Improvement Board to continue moving the project forward. In 2018, the City applied for grant funds from the Surface Transportation Block program and Safe Routes to School for the project. The 2010 and 2018 grant applications were not successful. The engineering phase was initiated in September 2009. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) requires that projects advance to the right-of-way (ROW) or the construction phase within 10 years after initiating the engineering phase. If the City does not initiate the ROW phase of the project by September 2019, the City must pay back the federal dollars spent in the engineering phase, which total $285,163.37. The cost of the ROW phase is estimated to be $400,000. Total cost to complete the project is estimated to be $5.5 Million, assuming construction in 2021. The current project budget is City Fund 301 Surface Transportation Program Grant Total budget $ 47,523 $ 304,500 $ 352,023 Staff will discuss the project and is looking for Council consensus for next steps for the project. OPTIONS: Various options will be discussed as part of the Staff presentation. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Staff is seeking Council consensus on project direction.

The report summarizes related planning documents and technical reports to identify project needs, context, and design controls. From that information we worked with the City's design consultants and WSDOT to develop alternatives and conducted further evaluation to recommend a preferred alternative. Now that this is completed and approved by WSDOT, staff will take the recommendations to City Council for approval to begin Preliminary Engineering. Sullivan Advance Corridor Study Update Traffic staff worked with CIP and their consultant to update the HDR "Sullivan Road Corridor Study" that was completed in 2014. As Bigelow Gulch Road is completed in the County, Forker Road will enter the City at the north end of Sullivan Road at Wellesley Avenue. Travel patterns will change and significant traffic will be added to City streets. This update of the corridor study is scoped to identify future traffic impacts and mitigation projects to accommodate this growth. The report is in the preliminary phases and is expected to be completed before year's end. Garland Avenue, Flora to Barker Roads CIP is working with Simpson Engineers to design Garland Road and to have it ready to construct this construction season. Traffic has assisted with plan review and to be of assistance in expediting this important City project. PLANNING AND GRANTS Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) CDBG issued a request for proposals for the 2019 program year. In January, CDBG's Housing and Community Development Advisory Committee (HCDAC) recommended funding approximately $358,000 for the Ella Road sidewalk project and the City's second priority sidewalk project, Conklin Road between Riceland Lane and the Appleway Trail, in the amount nearly $76,000. HCDAC's recommendation goes to the Board of County Commissioners for approval in March. Community Economic Revitalization Board (CERB) Staff is exploring opportunities to request a $25,000 planning grant through CERB to assess transportation improvements that will support industrial and new employment along key corridors in the City of Spokane Valley. Applications are due May 27. Grant Applications for the Pines Road/BNSF Grade Separation Project Federal Highway Bridge Program 6 On March 26, City Council authorized the City Manager to apply to this federal call for projects for preventative maintenance repairs to the northbound Sullivan Road bridge over UPRR lines. The total estimated project cost is $337,625. Preliminary Engineering is estimated at $67,525 (13.5% match of $9,116) and Construction is $270,100 (potential 13.5% match of $36,464). Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements (CRISI) Program The program is for highway -rail grade crossing improvement projects and the City is eligible for funding for the preliminary engineering (PE) phase of the project. In June and July, 2018, the City submitted funding applications to the Federal Rail Administration's (FRA) CRISI Program for fiscal years (FY) 17 and 18, respectively. The City submitted a total PE phase request of $1,246,500 with a City -match of $1,246,500 (50% match), for a total PE phase cost of $2,493,000. CRISI FY17 awards were announced; however, the City was not successful in its application. CRISI FY18 awards are anticipated to be announced in spring 2019. Pavement Management Update Contract for the Evaluation of Pavement Management Program The final report will be presented to City Council at the April 2, 2019 meeting. To maintain the City's current pavement quality level (i.e. Level of Service) the City needs to spend approximately $5 million on arterial and collector streets, and an additional $5 million on local access streets, totaling $10 million annually on the pavement network. Currently, the City expends $4-$5 million total, approximately $3 million on arterials and collectors, and $1.5 million on local access streets. 8
