I. ANNOUNCEMENT
II.BUSINESS AGENDA
stnd
A. 2018 1 and 2 Quarter Police Department Report
stnd
Chief Linton updated the Committee on items of interest in the 1 and 2 Quarters, including
staffing, recognitions, community outreach, significant operations and events, and crime
statistics. Councilmembers asked clarifying questions. DISCUSSION ONLY.
B. Contract Amendments: Public Safety Plan
Staff is seeking amendments to Public Safety Plan contracts that will bring them in alignment
with the project budgets in the modified Public Safety Plan approved by Council in June. The
originally approved contracts were based on the budget estimates included in the bond
measure, but the schematic design process has resulted in actual costs. The option selected by
the City Council removes Station 54 and keeps Public Works at the original $30M budget.
Project management and architectural services are based proportionally on construction costs,
so the amendments will take care of the additional fees for these services and will not add
additional costs to the revised Public Safety Plan. The requested amendments are as follows:
Increase by $492,898 for project management services from Shiels Obletz Johnsen
Increase by $395,537 for fire station architecture and engineering services from
Weinstein A+U
Increase by $953,830 for Justice Center architecture and engineering services from
DLR Group
Remove reference to Station 54 from the Lydig Construction GC/CM contract and
modify language to better reflect mutual intent
Modify language to better reflect mutual intent with BNBuilders GC/CM contract

Committee members discussed the amendments, focusing on the unknown costs of retrofitting
Station 54. Mr. Goldblatt stated that preliminary work is planned to assess the condition of 54
and more information will be presented to Council later. The Committee requested that the
revised budgets for the Justice Center and fire stations be included in the packet.
Councilmember Robertson also asked for detail on types and locations of calls by fire station.
UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JULY 23, 2018 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.

C. Position on Washington State Marijuana Sales Tax Distribution
Staff is seeking Committee direction on the status of a request by Councilmember Robertson to
draft a letter to state legislators asking that cities receive a larger sale of legal marijuana excise
tax to be directed to law enforcement. Ms. Ziegler recommended writing a letter to Governor
Inslee as the budget is being prepared. Chief Linton stated that illegal marijuana continues to
have impacts to neighborhoods as criminals purchase houses for grow operations. The
Committee agreed with the recommendation to send a letter to Governor Inslee. MAJORITY
RECOMMENDATION.
