I. BUSINESS AGENDA
Chair !clan announced that item B will be postponed to another meeting.
A. Public Safety Plan - Public Works Shops Master Plan
Committee members and staff continued discussion of the Public Works facility Master Plan
and the request to move forward with Phase 1. Phase 1 includes moving the George Long and
Longacres site operations to the Heiser site which was determined to be the most practical and
least expensive path forward. Future phases will include the entire buildout of the Heiser and
UPS sites and relocation of the Minkler operations. Staff returned with additional information
explaining the preference to move George Long staff and operations before Minkler staff and
operations, more detail about funding Phase 1, and a $500,000 cost estimate for near -term
improvements to the Minkler Shops. Councilmember Kruller does not support putting money
into Minkler and asked for a list of investments at the site since 2011. She would also like to
understand how much of the Master Plan is "must have" versus "nice to have," and asked if
Phase 1 could be broken down further. Staff replied that seismic work, wiring and exhaust
cannot be phased and bid results will be more favorable with a total package. Mr. Goldblatt
agreed that it would be more expensive to separate Phase 1 into further phases. He stated that
the Master Plan is a well -designed program and Phase 1 is not an expensive retrofit for the scale
of the operation. Councilmember McLeod asked about stopping after Phase 2, and if that
would have an impact on the design of Phase 1. Mr. Hartung advised that the full program
through Phase 3 reflects a consolidated operation and that stopping at Phase 2 will not get the
City the recommended site circulation or needed space for operations through 2045.
Councilmembers Kruller and McLeod asked several questions about what other design options
had been considered, which can be found in the Plan appendices. Staff will plan to present
additional information about the design options to the Committee of the Whole. Chair !clan
clarified that funding for Phase 1 is in place and as a result he supports moving forward as the
deficient Public Works buildings need to be addressed. Councilmembers McLeod and Kruller
were in favor of forwarding the discussion to the Committee of the Whole without a Committee
recommendation. NO MAJORITY RECOMMENDATION. FORWARD TO OCTOBER 28, 2019
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
B. Public Safety Plan - Amendment with SHKS Architects
Postponed.

Staff is seeking Council approval of Change Order No. 5 to Contract 18-001 with Lydig
Construction in the amount of $73,707 for demolition of the Lifestyles landscape building and
the former coffee shop building on the new Public Works shops site. Committee members
decided to forward this to Committee of the Whole with no recommendation as it relates to the
overall Public Works Master Plan. NO RECOMMENDATION. FORWARD TO OCTOBER 28, 2019
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
D. Consultant Contract: Water & Sewer Comprehensive Plans
Staff is seeking Council approval of a contract with Carollo Engineers in the amount of
$460,392.00 to update the Water and Sewer Utilities Comprehensive Plans. The Washington
State Department of Health requires the update every six years and Carollo completed the last
update in 2015. $560,000 was budgeted. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO NOVEMBER
