Staff recommends allocating ARPA funds to the Grant County Animal Outreach for design and construction of
the new animal shelter. Council previously allocated up to $1 million in ARPA funding to construct the new
facility.
The City of Moses Lake has contracted animal control and shelter services with the Grant County Animal
Outreach (GCAO) since 2008. As part of the contract, the GCAO provides shelter services for stray dogs and
cats, as well as dogs that are seized on bite holds.
The current shelter is owned by the City of Moses Lake and is an old home that was moved to its current
location a few decades ago. The structure is dilapidated and is not worth remodeling. The Grant County Board
of County Commissioners (BOCC) have agreed to give the GCAO property adjacent to the Grant County
Fairgrounds for the new shelter. Between the BOCC and City of Moses Lake, commitments of up to $2 million
have been earmarked for design and construction of the new shelter.
Staff recommends allocating the $1 million in ARPA funds to the GCAO to be used for design and construction.
$1 million in ARPA funding will be allocated to the GCAO.

MEMORANDUM
To: Kevin Fuhr, City Manager
From: Madeline Prentice, Finance Director
Subject: 2024 1st Quarter Budget Revenue and Expenditure Report
I am pleased to submit the City of Moses Lake’s 2024 first quarter actual results compared to
budgeted revenue and expenditure report for all city funds. Balances shown are subject to final
adjustments made as a result of the year-end closing processes, which will not be officially
concluded until the State Auditor’s work is completed.
Overall, the City is performing as expected in many areas through the first quarter of 2024. At
the end of the first quarter, we are seeing typical variances tied to timing of revenue receipts,
position vacancies and the timing of expenses. We ended the first quarter slightly under (1.4%)
budgeted revenues Citywide at 23.6% due to timing of revenues for property taxes, charges for
goods and services, intergovernmental revenues, and fines and penalties. Citywide expenses
ended the first quarter under budget by 3.8% at 21.2% due to underspending in most funds and
capital projects not anticipated to be complete until later in the year.
This report is summarized by type of fund, and reported by functional type, and includes the

General Fund Revenue Analysis
Property Tax – The first half of the Property Tax assessment is due to the Grant County
Treasurer by April 30th with the second half due October 31st. The budget was set based on
assumptions of new construction and collection rates, and then discounted for collection
delinquencies. The second quarter’s results will include the first half collections of property tax
assessments.
Sales Tax – Actual sales tax at the end of the first quarter is exceeding budget by 2.3% ending
the quarter at 27.3% of budget and is ahead of the same period in 2023 by $471k or 18.6%. First
quarter sales tax collections were just short of $3.0M.
Sales Tax-Public Safety - This represents the 0.3% Criminal Justice Tax. As with Sales Tax,
public safety sales tax continues to be strong with collections coming in 5.2% above budget and
16.2% ahead of 2023 for first quarter collections of $529k.
Utility Tax – This revenue source experiences fluctuations either from rate adjustments or
seasonal usage. Through the first quarter, we are 3.2% ahead of budget at $1.14 million and
11.9% ahead of the same period in 2023. Increases in water, wastewater, stormwater, and solid
waste were offset by decreases in electric and telephone utility taxes.

AS OF: MARCH 2024

Gambling Taxes – Historically higher in the first half of the year, gambling tax revenues
exceeded budget by 4.5% to end at $66.7k and are 16.8% higher than the same period in 2023.
A portion of the increase is attributable to the collection of past due gambling taxes that were
paid in full in January.
Other Taxes—This consists of Leasehold Excise Tax and Admissions Tax. Leasehold Excise
tax is 3.9% lower than 2023 and on budget through the first quarter. Admissions Tax is 3.9%
lower than budget and is lagging the same period in 2023 by 21.4%.
Licenses and Permits – The majority of this revenue is generated by the development
community and is difficult to budget for because it is volatile by nature. First quarter revenue
outpaced the budget by 50.5% to end the quarter at $755k. Revenues are up 205.7% compared
to the same period in 2023.
Intergovernmental Revenue – This category includes State-shared revenue, the PUD privilege
tax, Criminal Justice funding and other grants. Due to the timing of grant payments, this
category is lagging budget by 8.4%. We anticipate that this will catch up by year-end if not
before.
Charges for Goods and Services primarily consist of:
Fees charged for Parks and Recreation Programs,
Zoning, subdivision, plan check and annexation fees,
School Resource Officers (SRO’s) reimbursed by Moses Lake School District, and;
Fire protective inspection fees and other fire reimbursements
The bulk of the fees charged for Parks and Recreation programs are received in the 3rd quarter of
the year. Parks, Recreation & Museum activity, and programming fees for the first quarter are
under budget by 10.0%, but above 2023 by 4.0%. Zoning, subdivision, and plan check fees are
slightly under budget at 23.9% and 31.8% above 2023. SRO and Fire reimbursement fees are up
42.1% and 56.4% respectively over 2023.
Fines and Penalties consist almost entirely of fines generated by the red-light camera program.
The issues related to the change from paper to electronic citations are still not resolved and
therefore, we have not collected any revenue from the program in 2024. The issues related to the
red-light camera program are not expected to be resolved until the late second or early third
quarter of this year.
Miscellaneous Revenues include interest earnings on investments and facility rentals. Interest
earnings continue to be strong resulting in revenues outperforming the budget by 298.6%
($659k). Facility rentals for the first quarter exceed the budget by 17.1% are ahead of the same
period in 2023 by 24.2%.
COML Council Packet 5-14-24, Page 10 of 120
Page 6 of 11
Other Financing Sources are made up primarily of the City Administrative fee charged to funds
for services provided by the executive branch and finance and transfers in. The charges are
based on budget throughout the year and are trued-up to actuals once we have finished the final
accounting for the year.
Summary --Overall, General Fund revenue is slightly below budget by 2.7% to end the first
quarter at $7.9 million but is ahead of the same period in 2023 by 22.1%.

General Fund Expenditure Analysis
The General Fund Expenditures are on budget at 25% through the first quarter of 2024 but ahead
of first quarter 2023 by 13.1%. The increase over 2023 consists primarily of salaries, benefits,
and increases in liability insurance, supplies, and professional services costs.
Since the General Fund is nearly 60% staffing, events affecting total payroll have a significant
impact on budgets. Position vacancies may start out being an “overage” because of the cashout
of earned accrued leave balances, but then can produce savings when the position is vacant for

any length of time. Most variances in individual divisions are the result of annual pay increases,
increased professional services and liability insurance costs.
General government funds are slightly over budget at the end of the first quarter at 26.6% or $1.1
million. This is largely due to services that are paid for in full in January, such as liability
insurance and election costs, as well as increases in salaries, benefits, and professional services.
For many of the same reasons as General Government, Public Safety costs are slightly ahead of
budget at 26.5% ($5.2 million). The main reason for the increase in costs is the salaries and
benefits for additional Fire Department staffing which will be offset by grant funding.
Engineering is slightly over budget at 26.2% ($659k) while Planning/Economic Development
and Culture and Recreation funds came in under budget at 23.9% ($688k) and 22.4% ($1.7
million) respectively for the first quarter. Social Services are the annual services provided by the
Grant County Health District, the Moses Lake Senior Center and liquor taxes collected and paid
to Grant County for the chemical dependency/alcoholism program. These are generally paid for
in full at the beginning of the year, resulting in a budget overage of 51.2% to end the quarter at
$81k compared to a budget of $106k.
Conclusion—General Fund ended the first quarter on budget at 25.0% of adopted budget in
expenditures, while revenues were slightly under budget by 2.7%. The revenue shortfall is
largely due to the timing of receipts for property taxes, grants, and charges for goods and
services. Sales Tax, Public Safety Tax, Utility tax, Licenses and Permits and Miscellaneous
Revenues (interest) more than offset revenues that are more unpredictable and cyclical in nature.

Other Funds Analysis
Through the first quarter of 2024, total Other Fund revenues are slightly under budget at 24.3%,
while expenses are under budget by 6.2% at 18.8%. Total Other Fund revenues ended the
quarter at $15.1 million while expenses came in at $12.3 million. The revenue shortfall is
attributable to the timing of receipts of intergovernmental revenues (grants) while expenses are
under budget largely due to the timing of expenditures related to LTAC awards, ARPA funding,
homeless services, capital projects and debt service payments.
Other Operating Funds are under budget in revenues by 3.4%, while expenses are under budget
by 14.2%. Enterprise funds revenues and expenses are both under budget by 1.7% and 2.1%
respectively, while Internal Service funds are under budget by 2.0% in revenues and 4.9% in
expenses. Variances in capital funds (4.4% under budget in revenues, 18.6% under budget in
expenditures) are related to timing of major projects. Risk Management/Employee Benefits are
over budget in both revenue and expenditures due to the timing of the liability insurance
payment. Liability insurance is paid in full in January of each year making the transfer from the
various funds for payment of the insurance necessary at the beginning of each year. Principal
payments for the Debt Service are not made until the last half of the year, with interest only due
in the first half of the year.

Hotel/motel tax revenues ended the first quarter slightly under budget at 23%, while expenses are
significantly under budget by 23.2% due to the timing of events that are awarded funding. Some
of the events funded are held during the second quarter of the year, so we anticipate paying out
some of the LTAC awards by the end of June.
Grants & Donations revenues exceeded budget by 23.8% to end the first quarter at $121k, and
ahead of the same period in 2023 by 204.3%. The increase is due to confiscated and forfeited
property seizures. Expenses are over budget by 88.6% at $270k due to the purchase of
equipment (tasers) and increased investigation and patrol costs which is offset by reduced special
unit costs.
Homeless Services is under budget in both revenues (16.9%) and under budget in expenses
(23.6%) due to timing of reimbursements from the grants and invoices received for payment of
homeless services. Additionally, the ARPA funds allocated for Homeless Services have not
been spent.
Paths and Trails is under budget in revenues by 20.8% and over budget in expenditures due to
the payment of services for Community Outreach and Trails Plan development.
Street operations and maintenance are slightly above budget in revenues at 25.9% and below
budget in expenses at 18.3%. The increase in revenues over budget is a result of increased street
& curb permits and insurance recoveries. Expenses are lower due to reduced repair and
maintenance costs which is anticipated to increase during the warmer months.
Transportation Benefit District revenues are essentially on budget at 24.7%, while expenses are
under budget by 6.0% through the end of the first quarter. Compared to 2023, revenues are 7.4%
higher than 2023, while expenses are less than 2023 due to a transfer to Streets of $150k that has
not been made yet but will be corrected by the end of the second quarter.
The Enterprise funds are slightly below budget in both revenue (23.3%) and expenditures
(22.9%). Water and Wastewater revenues typically increase during the hotter months, as more
water is used for irrigating. Water is under budget in expenses by 2.9% due to decreased repair
& maintenance and professional services costs during the first quarter and is under budget in
revenues by 6.5%. Wastewater is essentially on budget in revenues and expenses through the
first quarter. Sanitation revenues are ahead of budget by 5.5% due to increased services while
coming in under budget by 7.1% in expenses. Stormwater is under budget in revenues and
expenses by 7.0% and 7.5% respectively. The Airport is ahead of budget by 15.5% in revenues
and on budget in expenses. The Ambulance fund is slightly ahead of budget in both revenues
(1.6%) and expenses (2.8%).
The Internal Service funds are slightly under budget both in revenue (23.0%) and expenditures
(20.1%). Information Technology Services is on budget in revenue and expenses, while
Equipment Rental is on budget in revenues (25.1%) and slightly under budget in expenses
COML Council Packet 5-14-24, Page 15 of 120

(23.8%). Building Maintenance is under budget in revenues (19.4%) due to timing of receipts
from grant funding and is under budget in expenses by 9.4% at 15.6% through the first quarter.
Utility Billing was moved under Finance in the General Fund in 2024.
As discussed previously, variances in capital funds are due to the timing of major projects, while
risk management and employee benefit funds are over budget due to the payment of the City’s
liability insurance in January. Debt Service funds are under budget due to the timing of when
principal payments are made on the bonds.
Conclusion
Overall, Citywide results through the first quarter are as expected. Citywide revenues ended the
first quarter at $23.0 million or 23.6%, below budget by 1.4%, but were ahead of the same period
in 2023 by $3.1 million or 15.8%. Variances are due to normal timing of receipt of funds.
Citywide expenditure is under budget by 3.8%, ending the quarter at $22.3 million or 21.2%.
Compared to the same period in 2023, expenditures are $1.18 million ahead of 2023 or 5.6%
higher. All funds have positive fund balances except for the Community Services Center fund
which is due to costs that have been incurred for the design of a new police station. At the end of
first quarter there is a net increase of Citywide fund balance of $662k. Net gains in Other
Operating, Enterprise, Internal Service, Capital Improvement and Risk Management funds more
than offset the net use of fund balance in the General Fund. Due to the timing of the collection
of property taxes, we are projecting the General Fund will see a gain in fund balance at the end
of the second quarter.

#3 Water Well Status and Plan for PFAS Treatment
Two wells were taken out service due to minor exceedances of newly designated levels for PFAS contamination. Council has determined that the most recent test levels present relatively low exceedances and low health risks. Staff will provide updated testing information to the public quarterly as required by the Department of Health. Staff have initiated work on the
installation of a water filtration system for the affected wells which will be implemented
within the next two years. Council noted that PFAS contaminants (forever chemicals) are found in several common consumer products and household products (e.g., dental floss, band aids, water repellent clothing) and they encourage citizens to take advantage of the many resources available to the public to educate themselves about those items.
#4 Amend Build on Unplatted – Thompson Resolution 3979 Council approved this request to build on an unplatted parcel on February 27, 2024. Staff is asking to repeal the previous Resolution No. 3972A and adopt a new resolution which

RCW 42.24 governs the process for audit and review of claims and payroll payments for the City. RCW
42.24.180 requires the review and approval of all payments at a regularly scheduled public meeting on at least a
monthly basis. The State Budgeting, Accounting and Reporting Systems (BARS) Manual outlines the above
format for approval by the City Council.
RCW 42.24.080 requires that all claims presented against the City by persons furnishing materials, rendering
services or performing labor must be certified by the appropriate official to ensure that the materials have been
furnished, the services rendered, or the labor performed as described, and that the claims are just, due and
unpaid obligations against the City.
RCW 42.24.180 allows expedited processing of the payment of claims when certain conditions have been met.
The statute allows the issuance of warrants or checks in payment of claims before the legislative body has acted
to approve the claims when: (1) the appropriate officers have furnished official bonds; (2) the legislative body
had adopted policies that implement effective internal control; (3) the legislative body has provided for review of
the documentation supporting the claims within a month of issuance; and (4) that if claims are disapproved, they
shall be recognized as receivables and diligently pursued.
The City meets all these conditions.
To comply with the requirements, Finance staff schedule payment of claims and payroll for semi-monthly Council
approval on the Consent Agenda. The payments listed in the schedule cover all claims and payroll payments
during the period prior to the date of the Council meeting.
All payments made during this period were found to be valid claims against the City. Details are attached and
any questions should be directed to the City Manager or Finance Director.
The City's internal controls include certification of the validity of all payments by the appropriate department prior
to submission for payment. The Finance Director has delegated authority for the examination of vouchers and
authorization of payments to the Finance, Accounts Payable, and Payroll staff. All payments are reviewed and
validated. The Finance Division regularly reviews it processes to ensure appropriate internal controls are in
place.

Biosolids are a byproduct of the wastewater treatment process. Periodic removal of biosolids from the
wastewater long term sludge digestion basins is essential to the operation of the city's wastewater treatment
facilities. The city has partnered with a farmer in the local area with fields that have been approved by the
Department of Ecology to be fertilized with appropriate concentrations of biosolids. The contractor for this
project land applied approximately 233 dry tons of biosolids to the field after removing them from the wastewater
treatment plant. The project is complete and there are no outstanding punch list items.
Upon project acceptance, the 60-day lien period for retainage release will begin, as required by Washington
State Law.
Options and Results
Staff will send a Notification of Acceptance to the contractor.
Staff will bring back options for recommended changes.

INTRODUCTION
This wastewater discharge permit is hereby granted by the City of Moses Lake, Washington, referred to as the City, to Group14
referred to as the Permittee. This permit is issued in conjunction with the Washington State Department of Ecology Temporary Permit
effective date December 11, 2023. This permit authorizes Permittee to discharge wastewater from the permittee’s Industrial Facility
into the City’s POTW in accordance with the conditions contained within this permit. The permit becomes effective as of the date
signed by the City.
GENERAL CONDITIONS
1. All discharges and activities authorized herein shall be consistent with the terms and conditions of this permit. The discharge
of any pollutant not authorized by this permit shall constitute a violation of the terms and conditions of this permit.
Whenever the Permittee refuses to take corrective action or continues a violation, the imposition of civil penalties or
termination of this permit may result, or both. Termination of this permit may require disposal of the wastewater in some
manner other than into the private sewer or to the City’s POTW, at the expense of the Permittee.
2. Nothing in this permit shall be construed as excusing the Permittee from complying with any current federal, state, or local
statutes, ordinances, or regulations. If the State’s Waste Discharge Permit requires more stringent limitations on discharge to
the POTW, the State’s discharge permit shall take precedence; and, the requirements contained herein may be revised after
written notice from the City. After written notice from the City is received, the Permittee has ten (10) business days to
request a hearing before the City Council. The City will provide the Permittee an opportunity for a hearing before the City
Council, if requested; and, depending on the magnitude of the changes, the Permittee, City, and DOE may negotiate a
compliance schedule under which to make the changes necessary to come into compliance with the more stringent limits.
3. All facility changes that may result in a significant deviation in character of pollutants discharged to the POTW, from that
herein specified, shall be reported to the City. Significant adverse deviations in character of pollutants shall be authorized by
the City before discharge to the sewer system. No significant change shall be made until plans have been approved by the
City, and a new or modified permit has been issued. No new connections, increased flows, or significant changes in
wastewater characteristics are permitted that will cause violation of the effluent limitations specified herein.
The diversion or bypass of any discharge from any pre-treatment facility utilized by the Permittee to maintain compliance
with the terms of this permit is prohibited except where unavoidable to prevent loss of life or severe property damage. The
procedure outlined in paragraph four (4) of these General conditions shall be followed in the event of such a diversion or
bypass to the City’s POTW.

GENERAL CONDITIONS (continued)
4. In the event the Permittee is unable to comply with any of the conditions of this permit because of a breakdown of
equipment or facilities, due to actions on the part of the Permittee, the Permittee shall perform the following actions:
a. Immediately stop, contain, and clean up the unauthorized discharge and correct the problem.
b. Immediately notify the City so steps can be taken to prevent damage to the POTW.
c. Submit a written report within fifteen (15) business days of occurrence, describing the breakdown, the actual
quantity and quality of the resulting waste discharge, corrective action taken, and the steps taken to prevent a
recurrence.
d. Pay reasonable costs incurred by the City that are associated with a breakdown, accident, or other cause that can be
demonstrated as attributable to such event.
Any permit noncompliance constitutes a violation of chapter 13.05 of the Moses Lake Municipal Code and is grounds for
enforcement action in accordance with that code.
5. Compliance with the above requirements does not relieve the Permittee from responsibility to maintain continuous
compliance with the conditions of this permit, or the resulting liability for failure to comply.
6. The Permittee shall adequately maintain and efficiently operate all treatment or control facilities or systems installed or used
by the Permittee to achieve compliance with the terms and conditions of this permit.
7. After written notice of one of the following, the Permittee has ten (10) business days from the date of the notice to request a
hearing before the City Council. If the City Council determines a violation has occurred, the permit may be amended,
suspended, or revoked in whole or in part.
a. Violation of any terms or conditions of this permit.
b. Obtaining this permit by misrepresentation or failure to fully disclose all relevant facts.
c. A change in any condition that requires a permanent reduction or elimination of permanent discharge to the POTW.
8. The Permittee shall allow authorized representatives of the City to perform the following actions, at all reasonable times:
a. Enter that portion of the premises by escort where an effluent source or disposal system is located or where records
are required to be kept under the terms and conditions of this permit.
b. Inspect monitoring equipment or monitoring methods required by this permit.
c. Sample discharge of pollutants.
d. Review test results and test methods.
9. This permit does not constitute authority for discharge into public waters of Washington State. Any such discharge by the
Permittee shall be subject to applicable regulations administered by the Department of Ecology.
10. The costs incurred by the City in handling, treating, monitoring, and disposing of the Permittee's wastewater shall be borne
by the Permittee in the rate structure. The City may set forth the various fees in a separate ordinance.
11. The Permittee shall make application for permit renewal at least 180 days prior to the expiration date of the permit. In the
event that the City does not respond within the allotted 180 day period, the existing permit shall remain in force until the
revised permit is issued.

12. The Permittee shall submit payment of fees associated with this permit as set forth in the fee schedule adopted by the City of
Moses Lake. The City may revoke this permit if the permit fees are not paid.
Effluent Limits
During the period of this permit, the Permittee is authorized to discharge wastewater to the POTW subject to the specified flow,
concentration, and monitoring requirements. Wastewater shall be monitored and discharged to the POTW and shall not exceed the
maximum daily flow of (100,000) gallons per day and a maximum monthly average of (89,496) gallons a day. The effluent limitations
for the discharge to the POTW are shown in Table 1: Effluent Limits Monitoring Point 2 (Facility’s Monitoring Point).
Effluent characteristic limits not listed in this permit are set forth in Chapter 13.05, Wastewater Regulations, City of Moses Lake
Municipal Code.
In order to meet the effluent limitations, the Permittee shall provide facilities as specified herein. When required, pretreatment and
storage facilities shall be designed and operated by the Permittee in a manner such that the wastewater discharge to the POTW
complies with the effluent limits. During emergency conditions, or when the effluent does not meet the conditions of this permit, the
Permittee shall divert the flow, collect the wastewater, and re-treat the effluent. If the permit effluent limitations cannot be achieved
by the onsite treatment system, the effluent shall be collected and sent off site for disposal in accordance with applicable regulations.
Beginning on the issuance date and lasting through the expiration date of this permit, the Permittee is authorized to discharge
wastewater to the City of Moses Lake POTW subject to the following limitations:

RE: Notice of Temporary State Waste Discharge Permit
Dear Paul Stenhouse:
Group 14 Technologies application for a State Waste Discharge permit for their carbon
and graphite product manufacturing facility in Moses Lake, was received by this office
on October 10, 2023, and was accepted as sufficiently complete on December 11,
2023. A public notice was published on February 6, 2024 and February 13, 2024 in the
Columbia Basin Herald.
Any applicant who proposes to discharge waste materials into waters of the state or into
a municipal sewerage system must file an application with the department at least 60-
days prior to discharging. Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 173-216-070
explains what satisfies the requirement for filing a permit application. WAC 173-216-090
requires publication of a public notice followed by a 30-day comment period. Revised
Code of Washington (RCW) 90.48.200 states, “In the event of failure of the Department
of Ecology (Ecology) to act upon an application within 60 days after it has been filed, the
applicant shall be deemed to have received a temporary permit. Said permit shall
authorize the applicant to discharge wastes into waters of the state as requested in its
application only until such time as Ecology shall have taken action upon said
application”.
Therefore, as RCW 90.48.200 and WAC173-216 provide, your new temporary permit
became effective December 10, 2023, and will remain in force for up to five years or
until notified by Ecology, whichever comes first. Ecology requests that Group 14
Technologies comply with any temporary provisions associated with the application
accepted on December 11, 2023 or until Ecology issues a final permit. Group 14
Technologies will have an opportunity to review the proposed permit prior to final
issuance by Ecology.
Ecology has adopted a regulation (Chapter 173-224 WAC) establishing annual permit
fees for all municipal/domestic and industrial wastewater discharge permit holders.
Group 14 Technologies temporary permit is subject to this fee starting on its effective
date and will be notified of the amount of the fee, payment schedules, and other details
in a separate mailing from Ecology Fee Unit.

City staff recommends City Council motion to formally accept the Well CO2 Injection and Rehabilitation Project
(GC2023-168).
Final Pay Estimate City of ML.pdf 263.83KB
In 2023, city engineering and operations staff identified six deep city wells that required maintenance and/or well
rehabilitation work due to the declining deep aquifer water levels and, in some cases, out of service equipment.
Most of the work required took place under another contract. One of the wells identified for rehabilitation was
Well 33. The city decided to try the patented Aqua Freed service on Well 33 to better understand the possible
benefits for city wells. The Aqua Freed process involves pumping pressurized liquid and gaseous carbon
dioxide into the well to clear fissures in the deep aquifer and allow water to flow more freely into the well's
capture zone.
The project is now done and ready for formal acceptance. All aspects of the project have been inspected and
all punch list items are complete. City staff will continue to monitor seasonal flow rates produced by Well 33
over the next year. By comparing these flow rates to recent historical data, city staff will be able to determine
what effect the Aqua Freed process has had on the Well 33 water production rates.
The benefits of deep well rehabilitation projects include the restoration of the reliability of deep wells to a level of
service that the city requires to meet its potable water supply needs in the near-term. These projects are a high
priority for the near-term water supply requirements of the city. However, they are generally not long-term
solutions for addressing the declining deep aquifers in the Columbia Basin region.
Upon formal acceptance, the process for retainage release and the 2-year warranty period for the project will
begin.COML Council Packet 5-14-24, Page 50 of 120

Scope of Work
Amendment No. 1
City of Moses Lake
Comprehensive Water System Plan Update
April 2024
Background
In June 2022, the City of Moses Lake (City) retained RH2 Engineering, Inc., (RH2) to prepare an update
to the City’s 2015 Water System Plan (WSP). As discussed with City staff, RH2 has expended its fee
for the City’s WSP update and additional work has been performed at the City’s request. Some of the
key additional items included preliminary sizing and setpoint analysis related to a future Municipal
and Industrial (M&I) source, reviewing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) impacts to the
water system, detailing additional source protection measures at each existing source, reconciling
seasonal pumping rates for each source, and overflow analyses for two existing reservoirs.
RH2 is requesting additional budget to include these items in the WSP update.
In addition to the extra work items requested by the City, a not to exceed amount of $30,000 has
been included in this amendment as an estimate of the level of effort that will be required to respond
to regulatory review comments.
This Scope of Work outlines the effort for additional updates to the WSP and to respond to $30,000
worth of regulatory review comments.
Task 1 – Additional Work
Objective: Assist the City with additional tasks outside the original scope of work.
Approach:
M&I Transmission Main and PRV Station Analysis: Perform hydraulic analyses based on the
projected 10- and 20-year demands of the water system with the proposed M&I transmission
main to calculate the headlosses in the transmission main and to provide sizing
recommendations for the transmission main. Utilize the recommended transmission main size
to identify the proposed pressure reducing valve (PRV) station sizes and setpoints for each PRV
station. A single PRV station will be proposed for each of the Central, Knolls Vista, and Larson
Pressure Zones.
PFAS Incorporation: Incorporate the impacts of PFAS on the City’s water system into the WSP,
including providing additional descriptions within multiple WSP chapters, assisting the City in
identifying PFAS treatment options, and related improvement alternatives. The impacts of PFAS
on the City’s water system were unknown to RH2 during the initial scoping of the WSP contract.
Source Protection Analysis: Describe the vulnerabilities of each specific existing source location,
recommend additional protection efforts at applicable source locations, and prioritize the
sources needing additional protection.

Seasonal Well Capacity Review and Reporting: Reconcile varying source capacity rates from
previous City reports and 2022 and 2023 supervisory control and data acquisition data.
Determine the end-of-summer yields for each source and incorporate these capacities into the
City’s source capacity analyses and hydraulic model.
Reservoir Nos. 7 and 9 Overflow Capacity Analysis: Review record drawings and City-provided
dimensional information, and calculate the capacity of the Reservoir Nos. 7 and 9 overflow
systems based on the following overflow system components: crest control, tube control,
orifice control, open channel control, and full pipe control. Perform hydraulic analyses to
determine the maximum filling rate for each reservoir for the existing and projected 20-year
planning period. Prepare a table comparing each reservoir’s calculated overflow system
capacity with the maximum filling rate for each reservoir determined by the City’s hydraulic
model. Recommend additional investigations and/or planning-level conceptual improvements
to the overflow system(s) for any reservoirs with existing overflow system capacity deficiencies
in order to resolve the capacity deficiency. Include recommended investigations or
improvements in the City’s capital improvement plan (Chapter 8 of the WSP).
RH2 Deliverables:
•Deliverables to be provided via email and incorporated into the WSP as applicable.
Task 2 – Regulatory Review Revisions
Objective: Assist with regulatory review revisions to the WSP.
Approach:
Respond to Agency Review Comments: A not-to-exceed allocation of $30,000 has been
provided for this effort. However, the number of comments, number of meetings, and amount
of required WSP modifications from regulatory agency reviews and adjacent water purveyors
are difficult to predict. If additional effort is required to adequately respond to agency review
comments, RH2 and the City will collaborate to determine a delineation of tasks in order for
RH2’s effort to remain within this allocation, or a contract amendment will be mutually
negotiated. The level of effort for this Task includes assumptions for addressing review
comments, attending review meetings, and preparing final WSP modifications upon receipt of
review comments from Grant County (County), the Washington State Department of Health
(DOH), the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology), and adjacent water systems. No
date is warranted or implied for County, DOH, or Ecology response on the draft WSP, or for WSP
final approval.
Project Schedule
Task 1 is anticipated to be incorporated into the draft WSP that is actively being prepared and
anticipated to be submitted for regulatory review in late Q2 or early Q3 2024.
Task 2 can begin within two (2) weeks of receipt of DOH comments, anticipated to be in Q4 2024 or
Q1 2025.

The City contracted with RH2 Engineering to complete our comprehensive water system plan update in 2021.
When PFAS was identified as a contaminant in our system in 2023, additional work was required to address it in
our plan, but with an unknown number of hours necessary, a budget amendment was not completed at that
time. We also requested that RH2 take into consideration the declining aquifer levels in the plan, which required
additional engineering and calculations. In order to complete the plan update, an additional $75,000 is being
requested. These funds will be used to cover the previously added work totaling approximately $38,000, $4,000
for an overflow capacity evaluation as required by Department of Health (DOH) to return wells 23 and 29 to
production, and an additional "not to exceed" $30,000 for response to any DOH comments and edit requests
after plan submission, and $3,000 to cover additional staff time to finalize the plan.

The Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Services Department requests that Council adopt a resolution to approve
an increase in petty cash for the Museum and Art Center.
Museum Petty Cash Resolution.docx 23.44KB
The $350 increase to Museum and Art Center's petty cash is being requested to allow for a second cash drawer
at the museum, which will increase the facility's cash efficiency by providing a proper safeguard for the cash
between shift changes for cashiers and quicker transitions between shifts. There is currently only one cash
drawer, which can cause delays during shift changes as cashiers maintain safeguarding of cash while they
closeout tills, particularly when the facility is busy with larger events and store sales.

Options and Results
Staff will implement a new cash drawer as presented.
Staff will bring back options for recommended changes.

Staff recommends that the City Council award the Larson Playfield Irrigation Conversion Project to the apparent
low bidder for the contract price of $239,470.35
GC2023-180_Bid_Tab.pdf 265.73KB
The City received a $250,260 grant from the State Legislature at the request of Representative Ybarra to
convert the irrigation of the Larson Playfield complex from City Potable water to another source. The City has
designed a system that will draw from a shallow irrigation well on the property to water the fields and adjacent
park using non-treated water. This will save the use of approximately 60 acre-feet of drinking water (19.5 million
gallons) annually.
A shallow well will be drilled and a variable speed submersible pump will be installed to deliver approximately
100 gallons per minute. The new source will be connected to the existing irrigation system and the connection to
the drinking water system will be disconnected.
Two bids were received for this project. The bid opening was held on May 7, 2024.
The project will require budgeted funds to be spent in the amount listed above. The City received $250,260 from
the Department of Commerce and the City budgeted $19,140 as match for the project.

The budget amendment is typically a combination of programs being carried forward from the previous year,
budget corrections, and new grants or initiatives since the budget was set. In some cases, there is additional
revenue to support the additional expenditures. In those cases that are not supported by additional revenue, the
fund balance is adequate to absorb the increase.
RCW 35.33.091 sets forth the requirements to amend the budget absent a true "emergency". Most fund
amendments are primarily the result of things already approved by Council but just not completely incorporated
in the current budget. A summary of the changes is attached.
The City Council Finance Committee reviews budget amendments as a regular course of their business and
items presented on Schedule 1 were reviewed by them. It is a compliance issue to have actual results be within
the authorized appropriation. If we overspend an appropriation, the State Auditor's Office would likely note it as
an area of non-compliance with state laws.

Overview
The budget amendment is typically a combination of programs being carried forward from the previous
year, budget corrections, and new grants or initiatives since the budget was set. In some cases, there is
additional revenue to support the additional expenditures. In those cases that are not supported by
additional revenue, the fund balance is adequate to absorb the increase.
RCW 35.33.091 sets forth the requirements to amend the budget absent a true “emergency”. Most
fund amendments are primarily the result of things already approved by Council but just not completely
incorporated in the current budget. A summary of the changes follows.
2024 Budget corrections and carryforwards:
During the 2024 budget process, we are provided with an estimated cost for liability insurance
by our insurance provider, with the actual amount not fully known until after the budget has
been adopted. For 2024, the actual insurance premium came in $40,784 higher than the
estimate. The increased premium resulted in additional expenditures of $22,290 for the
General Fund, $1,348 for Other Operating Funds (Streets), $13,209 for the Enterprise funds and
$3,937 for the Internal Service Funds.
The Streets department budgeted for a snow plow attachment that was paid for by Fleet. The
budgeted funds in Streets in the amount of $23,007.90 need to be transferred to the Fleet
budget.
The Water Department budgeted $2,611.44 for new computers for 2 new employees, but
Technology Services purchased the computers. The budgeted funds need to be moved to
Technology Services.
The annual lease for the Pitney Bowes postage machine was overlooked in the 2024 budget.
The annual lease cost is $6,000 paid from the Technology Services fund.
2023 budget carryforwards from projects/initiatives that were not completed by year end
include:
O General Fund - Parks – Longview Park Master Plan - $40,000.
O In 2022, the City received $105,000 in grant funds from the Transportation
Improvement Board (TIB) which was intended to be used for safe pedestrian access to
the food bank. After the food bank relocated, staff requested and received approval
from the TIB to reallocate the funds to support the Valley Road Landscaping project
($27,100), complete the Trails Master Plan ($72,900) and purchase park benches and
equipment ($5,000).
O The City anticipated completion of the travel demand model in 2023, so a budget was
not included in the 2024 budget for this project. The $65,329 that was budgeted in
2023 is being carried forward into 2024 for the completion of the travel demand model.
O A total of $160,000 was budgeted in 2023 for the water comprehensive plan update, but
only $132,300 was spent. The water comprehensive plan update is not yet complete so
a request to move the remaining $27,700 from the 2023 budget to the 2024 budget is
being made.
O A battery backup that was scheduled to be delivered in December was delayed until
February. The 2023 budget included $17,492.19 for the purchase of the battery backup,
but with the delivery delay, the funds will not be spent until 2024.
COML Council Packet 5-14-24, Page 88 of 120
O A carpet machine that was budgeted for in 2023 was not received by Building
Maintenance until 2024. The budgeted amount being carried forward is $12,776.30.
O The museum lighting project was not completed at the end of 2023 as anticipated.
Building Maintenance is requesting the remaining 2023 budget amount of $12,699 be
carried forward into the 2024 budget for the completion of the project.
O Building Maintenance budgeted funds in the 2023 budget for repairs to the fire pump
system at the Sand Dunes Wastewater Treatment Facility. Parts necessary for the repair
were on backorder and repairs were not expected to be completed until March 2024.
Building Maintenance is requesting that the $28,986.16 that was budgeted in 2023 be
carried forward to 2024 to pay for the repairs.
New Budget Initiatives or grants:
An audit conducted by Utility Billing staff resulted in identifying that Parks had not been billed
for sewer service at the Surf ‘n Slide since the conversion to Innoprise in 2022. The sewer costs
for 2022, 2023 and estimated 2024 charges is $94,604.58.
Confluence Health donated $1,000 to the Fire Department to be used by the Community
Assistance Referrals and Education (CARES) unit in providing education about fall risk and fall
prevention to senior citizens. The City Council accepted the donation at the February 13, 2024
meeting.
City Council at the April 23, 2024, meeting approved a project for construction of a shared use
path along SR 17 between Patton Blvd. and Grape Drive. Funding for this project is from the
Sandy Williams Connection Communities Program grant in the amount of $2,000,000.
At the April 9, 2024, Council meeting, Council authorized the City Manager to enter into a
developer agreement with Lengco Enterprises, LLC to build the north half of Sage Road along the
frontage of the Laguna Park Short Plat. The City’s cost for improvements to this project is
$97,630.02.
The Longview Park and Sun Terrace Park masterplans did not include surveys that are necessary
to make the designs and plans more accurate. The cost of each survey is $6,325, but the
consultant completing the masterplans has agreed to pay for one of the surveys. A budget
amendment for Parks Mitigation Fund 315 in the amount of $6,325 is requested to complete
this project.
The chiller for the Ice Arena failed at the end of 2023. To keep the ice rink open during the
skating season, a portable chiller was located until a more permanent solution can be found.
The first month’s rent and delivery fee for the chiller was $20,908.19, with the second month’s
rent amount at $13,788. A budget amendment for Fund 315 in the amount of $34,696.19 is
requested.
During the 2024 budget period, final costs for getting Well 20 running were not fully known. A
budget amendment in the amount of $73,000 Is requested to continue testing and control
installation as required by DOH.
At the January 9, 2024, Council meeting, Councial authorized an amendment with Aspect
Consulting to continue providing water rights work to the City and add four new tasks related to
Well 20. The added tasks increased the contract cost by $45,000.
COML Council Packet 5-14-24, Page 89 of 120
The Comprehensive Wastewater Plan was amended to include “optional” scope items required
for the COF Raw Waste Upgrade grant. The additional items are estimated to increase the
contract by $60,000.
The Division Lift Station Upgrade construction project was budgeted to be split between 2024
and 2025. The full cost of construction may occur in 2024 if the construction progresses quickly,
therefore, staff are requesting that the amount budgeted ($734,500) in 2025 be moved forward
to 2024.
In February, Council authorized the City Manager to execute an agreement with Basin Pacific
Insurance to insure the Moses Lake Municipal Airport. The insurance quote from the new
insurance carrier was slightly higher than what had been budgeted, resulting in a budget
amendment needed in the amount of $2,055.
The City identified a need to procure software for emergency communications with staff and
first responders. The cost for setup and the annual fee of the software selected for this project
is $11,000 to be paid from the Technology Services budget.
Technology Services applied for and were awarded a cybersecurity grant for offline backup
equipment and supplies. The grant was awarded in the amount of $11,272 to acquire a tape
backup library and backup tapes.
The attached ordinance increases the 2024 budget resulting in additional citywide expenditures of
$3,697,772.12 and adds $2,287,194.68 to estimated revenue for a net use of fund balance in the
amount of $1,410,577.44 in the funds listed on the attached schedule. The General Fund expenditures
and use of beginning fund balance is proposed to increase by $156,894.58.
Fiscal Policy
It is a compliance issue to have actual results be within the authorized appropriation. If we overspend
an appropriation, the State Auditor’s Office would likely note it as an area of non-compliance with state
laws.

As the Council is well aware, the city is exploring creating a Desert Point Tax Increment Area on 96 acres east
of Hwy 17 and Yonezawa Blvd.
On Monday May 6th, the City received the project analysis review back from the Washington State Treasurer's
office notifying the city that stating, "anticipated public improvements and corresponding economic development
will provide benefits to the City and its community." The report is attached.
The next step in the TIA process is the adoption of an ordinance designating the Desert Point Tax Increment
Area. The adoption of the ordinance is required prior to June 1st in order for the city to establish the TIA. The
ordinance has been approved by our city attorney and was also sent to the city's bond council for review. Minor
modifications could be forthcoming depending on comments from the bond counsel.
Fiscal and Policy Implications
Possible bond payments depending on when/if the bond dollars are allocated.

ORDINANCE NO. 3048
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF MOSES LAKE, WASHINGTON, DESIGNATING THE DESERT POINT TAX INCREMENT AREA; SETTING A SUNSET DATE FOR THE INCREMENT AREA; IDENTIFYING THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS TO BE FINANCED; INDICATING THE CITY’S INTENT TO ISSUE BONDS TO FINANCE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT COSTS IN A MAXIMUM PRINCIPAL AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $14,000,000: PROVIDING THAT THE INCREMENT AREA WILL TAKE EFFECT ON JUNE 1, 2024; IMPOSING A DEADLINE FOR COMMENCEMENT OF CONSTRUCTION; AND PROVIDING FOR RELATED MATTERS.
WHEREAS, the City has identified a proposed Tax Increment Area (TIA) of approximately 96 acres of property that is being planned for residential and commercial development and is in need of substantial infrastructure improvements to support the desired development; and
WHEREAS, the TIA has the opportunity, if developed, to provide a variety of multi-family housing, retail, restaurants, office space and amenities for the community providing for increased tax revenues to support City services and providing employment opportunities for the
residents of the City; and
WHEREAS, the Washington State Legislature, during its 2021 legislative session,
enacted Engrossed Substitute House Bill 1189 as Chapter 207, Laws of 2021, titled "AN ACT Relating to tax increment financing" as amended by Chapter 354, Laws of 2023, and codified as Chapter 39.114 RCW (the “TIF Act”), which authorizes local governments, including cities, to carry out tax increment financing of public improvements needed to support vital private economic development projects; and
WHEREAS, that the TIF ACT authorizes the allocation of property tax revenues generated from the increased assessed valuation of properties improved by private development that are within a TIA to pay for public improvements that are needed to support the private development; and
WHEREAS, City management has identified the TIF public improvements (TIF Projects) to support the desired development based on market conditions necessary to accommodate housing demands and commercial tenants; and
WHEREAS, the TIF Projects are estimated to cost approximately $14 million to construct; and
WHEREAS, City management anticipates bringing forward for Council consideration an agreement between the City and the Desert Point Ownership Group (DP-OG) prior to the issuance of any debt that: (i) the OG-DP has agreed to be responsible for all of the debt issued
by the City up to $10 million not covered by TIF revenues; and, (ii) the parties plan to develop a process for when invoices are generated by the City to the OG-DP based on revenue gaps to pay the City’s debt service, along with a reconciliation process to proportionately payback OG-DP if additional TIF revenue are generated in later years from private development.
WHEREAS, The City plans to issue $9 million in debt in 2025 (funding for roads and utilities) and second debt issuance up to $5 million (for the State round-about) may occur no
COML Council Packet 5-14-24, Page 98 of 120
later than 2029, allowing the City time to purse State grants or funding to eliminate or reduce the second debt issuance.
WHEREAS, the City has prepared a Project Analysis for the Desert Point TIA and submitted such to the Office of the State Treasurer for review and comment as required by law; and
WHEREAS, there currently exists no TIA within the City and the TIA designated by this ordinance does not consist of the entire geographical area of the City and does not have an
assessed valuation of more than $200,000,000 or more than 20% of the City’s total assessed valuation;
WHEREAS, the Office of the State Treasurer has completed its review of the Moses Lake Desert Point Project Analysis and has stated that the Project Analysis, generally addresses the topics listed in subsection (2) of RCW 39.114.020; and
WHEREAS, the City has conducted public briefings on and provided notice of the proposed TIA to inform the community and other public agencies about the anticipated benefits and impacts associated with the development; and

COML Council Packet 5-14-24, Page 99 of 120
Section 2. Designation of Increment Area. Pursuant to the TIF Act, the City designates the approximately 96 acre parcel of land known as Desert Point and described in Exhibit A to this
ordinance. In making this designation, the Council finds that the Increment Area (i) is the only increment area designated by the City under the TIF Act, (ii) is located within the boundaries of the City, (iii) does not include the City's entire territory, and (iv) does not have an assessed value
on the date of this ordinance greater than the lesser of $200,000,000 or 20 percent of the total
assessed value of taxable property within the City of $ $2,967,270,315
Section 3. Sunset Date of the Increment Area. The sunset date of the Increment Area is
hereby set as (i) December 31, 2050, which is the date not later than 25 years after the first year (calendar year 2025) in which tax allocation revenues will be collected on taxable property within the Increment Area (the "outside sunset date"), or (ii) if earlier, the date ("an early sunset
date") on which the City certifies to the County Treasurer that all public improvement costs to be paid or reimbursed with tax allocation revenues derived from the Increment Area have been fully paid, including but not limited to reimbursements to the City for principal and interest
payments required to be made by the City from revenue sources other than tax allocation revenues on limited tax general obligation bonds issued to finance the portion of public improvement costs that are intended to be paid and retired, in whole, from tax allocation revenues, as authorized by RCW 39.114.060(1).
Section 4. Identification of Public Improvements to Be Financed. The public improvements to be financed consist of the following infrastructure improvements to be owned by the City and the State of Washington located within or outside of and serving the Increment Area:
a.Roads and Utilities (includes curb-gutter-sidewalks, landscaping, storm, water,sewer mains, and gateway features)
b.State Round-about (at intersection of Highway 17 and Yonezawa Boulevard)
The exact timing, specifications, and features of the public improvements described above are to be determined by the City. As authorized by RCW 39.114.020(1)(h), the City may expand, alter, or add to the public improvements identified above only if the City Council determines that
such changes are necessary to assure that the public improvements identified above can be constructed or operated as intended. If the City Council determines that it has become impractical to acquire, construct, or equip any, or any portion of, the public improvements by
reason of changed conditions, or costs substantially in excess of the amount of bond proceeds or tax allocation revenues, the City shall not be required to acquire, construct or equip such public improvements or portions.
Section 5. Expected Issuance of Bonds to Finance a Portion of the Public Improvement Costs. Pursuant to RCW 39.114.060 and other law, including the applicable provisions of Chapters 39.36 and 39.46 RCW, the City intends to incur general indebtedness and issue limited tax general obligation bonds with a term of approximately 25 years to finance a portion (the "bond-financed portion") of the public improvement costs to be paid in whole or in part from tax allocation revenues. The City expects to pledge the tax allocation revenues received by the City from the Increment Area, the City’s other regular property tax revenues, other lawfully available revenues of the City, and the full faith and credit of the City. The bonds are expected to be issued as tax-exempt bonds under the applicable provisions of the Code; however, if and to the extent that bond counsel determines that any of the public improvements (or portions thereof)
do not qualify to be financed with tax-exempt bonds, the City expects to allocate funding
COML Council Packet 5-14-24, Page 100 of 120
sources other than proceeds of tax-exempt bonds, including but not limited to proceeds of taxable bonds, to the financing of those public improvements (or portions thereof).
As of the date of adoption of this ordinance, the estimated maximum principal amount of bonds expected to be issued by the City to finance the bond-financed portion of the public
improvement costs is $14 million. This estimated maximum principal amount of bonds is subject to change based upon the final timing, specifications, and features of the public improvements and the final public improvement costs of the public improvements identified in Section 4 of this ordinance. The amount of proceeds of such bonds also may vary (be lower or higher than the maximum principal amount of $14 million) to the extent that the bonds are sold with original issue premium or original issue discount (respectively).
While the City will pledge its full faith and credit as well as its regular property tax revenues and other lawfully available revenues, in addition to tax allocation revenues received by the City from the Increment Area, to pay debt service on the bonds, the City intends that debt service on the bonds shall be payable, in whole, from tax allocation revenues as authorized by RCW
39.114.060(1). Accordingly, if and to the extent debt service payments on its general obligation bonds issued to finance the public improvements are required to be made from the City's other regular property tax revenues and/or from other lawfully available revenues because the
amount of tax allocation revenues received are insufficient for that purpose, those debt service payments to that extent may be reimbursed from later-received tax allocation revenues that become available to reimburse the City for those debt service payments.
The City intends that the provisions of Section 4 of this ordinance (identifying the public improvements to be financed) and this Section 5 (stating the estimated maximum amount of bonds expected to be issued) together shall constitute a declaration of official intent under Treasury Regulations §1.150-2 to reimburse with bond proceeds any original expenditures for the public improvements paid before the issue date of the bonds that are intended to finance the bond-financed portion of the public improvement costs.
Section 6. Increment to Take Effect on June 1, 2024. The Increment Area designated in Section 2 of this ordinance shall take effect on June 1, 2024.
Section 7. Deadline for Commencement of Construction of Public Improvements. The City expects that construction of the public improvements identified in Section 4 of this ordinance will commence after June 1, 2024. In no event will construction of those public improvements
commence later than June 1, 2029, the date five years from the date of adoption of this ordinance, unless that deadline is extended for good cause.
Section 8. Required Findings by the City Council. Based upon the Project Analysis, the Council finds that:
The public improvements proposed to be paid or financed with tax allocation revenues are expected to encourage private development within the Increment Area-i.e., the private development of the Desert Point site, and to increase the assessed value of real property within the Increment Area;
The private development that is anticipated to occur within the Increment Area as a result of the
proposed public improvements will be permitted consistent with the applicable zoning and development standards of the City, which is expected to be the permitting jurisdiction for the Increment Area;
COML Council Packet 5-14-24, Page 101 of 120
The private development would not reasonably be expected to occur solely through private
investment within the reasonably foreseeable future without the proposed public improvements; and
The increased assessed value of taxable property within the Increment Area that could reasonably be expected to occur without the proposed public improvements would be less than the increase in the assessed value estimated to result from the proposed private development with the proposed public improvements.
Section 9. Preparation and Consideration of Project Analysis. As required by RCW 39.114.020(2), the Council has caused the Project Analysis, attached hereto as Exhibit B, to describe and analyze, among other matters, the factors and considerations listed in that statute. The Council takes note of the conclusion expressed in the Treasurer's Review Letter that the City's Project Analysis generally addresses the topics listed in subsection (2) of RCW 39.114.020. In its consideration and adoption of this ordinance, the Council has reviewed and considered, among other things, the Project Analysis and the Treasurer's Review Letter, attached hereto as Exhibit C, including the "Key Risks” and "Recommendations" noted in the Treasurer's Review Letter.
Section 10. Reimbursement of Expenses Incurred by County Assessor and County Treasurer. Pursuant to RCW 39.114.020(6), the City may enter into arrangements to reimburse the County
Assessor and County Treasurer for the expenses incurred by those officials in connection with the implementation and ongoing administration of the Increment Area as described in RCW 39.114.0l0(6)(e). Such expenses shall be a portion of the public improvement costs to be paid or
reimbursed from tax allocation revenues derived from the Increment Area.
Section 11. Public Briefings Held by the City. As required by RCW 39.114.020(7)(a), the City has held two public briefings for the community regarding the Desert Point development and the public improvements needed to serve the Increment Area. These public briefings were held on April 17, 2024, and May 7, 2024, and announced to the public at least two weeks prior to the date each briefing was held by publishing notice in the Columbia Basin Herald, a legal newspaper of general circulation in the City and the greater County area, and by posting information on the City’s website and on all of its social media sites. Each public briefing included a description of the Increment Area, the public improvements proposed to be financed with tax allocation revenues derived from the Increment Area, and a detailed estimate of tax revenues for the
participating local governments and taxing districts, including the amounts allocated to the public improvements serving the Increment Area. The City also offered additional briefings for elected and administrative officials of the County Assessor and Treasurer, Port District, Library
District, School District, and Hospital District, however no additional briefings were held.
Section 12. Publication of Notice and Delivery of Ordinance Designating Increment Area. The
City published the Public Briefing Notice two weeks prior to the briefings with information on the public improvements. Following the adoption of this ordinance, the City will deliver a certified copy of this adopted ordinance to the County Treasurer, the County Assessor, and the governing body of each taxing district within which the Increment Area is located at the respective addresses specified pursuant to RCW 42.56.040 within 10 days of the date on which the ordinance was adopted.
Section 13. General Authorization and Ratification. The appropriate officers of the City are severally authorized to take such actions and to execute such documents as in their judgment
COML Council Packet 5-14-24, Page 102 of 120
may be necessary or desirable to carry out the tax increment financing of the public improvements serving the Increment Area contemplated in connection with this ordinance. All

Kevin Fuhr, City Manager
City of Moses Lake
401 S. Balsam St, PO Box 1579
Moses Lake, WA 98837
Dear Mr. Fuhr:
This letter confirms the Office of the State Treasurer’s (“OST”) receipt and review of the City of Moses
Lake’s (the “City”) tax increment financing (“TIF”) project analysis, consisting of the project analysis report
dated February 9, 2024. OST and Montague DeRose and Associates, the state’s municipal advisor, have
reviewed the provided materials. Based on our review, which is detailed in the sections to follow, we
believe that the City’s project analysis generally addresses the topics listed in section 020(2) of RCW
39.114 (the “TIF Statute”). However, please see our recommendations provided at the end of this letter.
Please note that this review is based on the information, projections, and assumptions provided by the
City and its consultants in the project analysis. OST has not independently verified the data or its accuracy
or performed any feasibility analyses or projections of its own.
Executive Summary
The City’s proposed tax increment area (“TIA”), consisting of 96 acres with a total assessed value of $6.8
million, was selected because it represents a planned development (“Desert Point”) that can be built over
time, as the result of the infrastructure improvements funded by TIF. The public improvements described
in the project analysis total $14.0 million and include roads and utilities (estimated to cost $9.0 million)
and a round-about (estimated to cost $5.0 million) connecting the TIA to Highway 17. The project analysis
did not provide a detailed expenditure plan for the public improvements; however, the City expects to
issue the first series of bonds in 2025 to finance the $9.0 million needed for the roads and utilities,
followed by a second bond series of $5.0 million by 2029 for the round-about. The City may not proceed
with the second bond issuance in the event that a state grant or legislative allocation is received for the
round-about.
The baseline development scenario’s projections show that for the two series of bonds, annual deficits
between tax increment revenues and debt service will average $153,000 over the first 20 years of
repayment, resulting in an accumulated deficit of $3.1 million by 2045. Tax increment revenues are
forecast to exceed debt service annually from 2046-2050 which will allow the City’s $3.1 million deficit to
be repaid, while also generating a $1.0 million surplus.
If the City receives a state grant for the round-about project and only issues the first $9.0 million series of
bonds , annual deficits between tax increment revenues and debt service are projected to average
$337,000 over the first four years of repayment, resulting in an accumulated deficit of $1.3 million by
2029. Tax increment revenues are forecast to exceed debt service annually from 2030-2050 such that the
City’s $1.3 million deficit is projected to be repaid by 2036, with a cumulative surplus of $9.1 million being
generated by 2050.

The City expects to cover these projected annual shortfalls through a combination of general fund
resources and a limited financial guarantee arrangement with the ownership group of Desert Point (“OG-
DP”). The project analysis notes that the City has averaged approximately $3.5 million in available general
fund reserves not allocated to any specific operating or capital expense over the six years from 2018 to
2023, and these unallocated funds can be used to cover deficits between tax increment revenues and
debt service. The City plans to enter into an agreement with OG-DP in which the ownership group will
reimburse the City for deficits between tax increment revenues and debt service up to a maximum of
$10.0 million. The City’s project analysis did not include any information regarding the adequacy of the
financial resources of the OG-DP to provide this guarantee to the City.
Our review of the project analysis found potential risks worth consideration. A discussion of these risks,
as well as other factors that could impact tax increment revenue projections, are included later in this
review.
Statutory Role and Purpose of Review
As enacted by the 2021 Washington State Legislature, section RCW 39.114.020(7)(b) of the TIF Statute
requires that prior to the adoption of an ordinance authorizing the creation of a TIA, the local government
proposing the TIA must provide a project analysis to OST for review. Upon completing the review, OST
must provide to the local government any comments regarding suggested revisions or enhancements to
the project analysis that OST deems appropriate. OST received the City’s project analysis report dated
February 9, 2024.
OST’s primary goal in our statutorily mandated review is to ensure that the project analysis addresses the
topics listed in the TIF statute and that risks to the City that might result from the implementation of the
project are adequately disclosed.

Proposed Tax Increment Area
The City’s proposed TIA of approximately 96 acres is comprised of two undeveloped parcels with total
assessed value (unimproved land) of $6,782,120 for the 2024 tax year. Located in the southeast portion
of the City roughly one mile from Interstate 90, the TIA is shaped like a right-triangle with its longest side
following Highway 17. The TIA was selected because it represents a planned development to be built over
time following the infrastructure improvements to be funded by TIF revenues. (The TIA proposed for the
Port of Moses Lake, with 5,100 acres to be developed for industrial projects, would be located to the
northeast of the City’s TIA.)

Impacted Taxing Districts
Four taxing districts with regular property tax levies would be directly impacted by the TIA. These districts
are:
(1)Grant County;
(2)Port of Moses Lake;
(3)Library District; and
(4)Hospital District #1.
After the TIA effective date, the levy rate for each of these jurisdictions will be applied to the increased
AV within the TIA, with the tax increment revenues remitted to reimburse the City for debt service on the
bonds and, potentially, to pay for the remaining unfunded public improvements.

Not all taxing districts would be impacted by the TIA. The property tax levies for State Schools (Part 1 and
2)and School District 161 would be excluded from the calculation of tax increment revenues.
Project Description
Public Improvements within the TIA
To facilitate private development in the TIA, the project analysis identifies three categories of public
improvements totaling $14.0 million (2024 dollars): 1) three roads; 2) utilities such as curbs, gutters, and
sidewalks, storm, water, and sewer mains, landscaping, and gateway features; and 3) a round-about
connecting the TIA to Highway 17. The costs are estimated at $9.0 million for the roads and utilities and
$5.0 million for the round-about. The project analysis did not provide a detailed expenditure plan for the
public improvements; however, the City expects to issue the first series of bonds in 2025 to finance $9.0
million the roads and utilities, and a second series of bonds by 2029 to finance $5.0 million for the round-
about project in the event a state grant or other funding is not realized.

Source: City of Moses Lake
The project analysis indicates that if the public improvements were required to be funded by private
developers, only the most profitable developments could be built, reducing the size and scale of the
proposed private development within the TIA. Without TIF revenues funding the public improvements,

the City estimates that only 50% of the proposed private development would occur and take an additional
five years to materialize.
Private Development within the TIA
The proposed private development within the TIA would be a large mixed-use project referred to as Desert
Point. This project would develop 82 of the 96 TIA acres over three phases from 2025-2027, 2027-2029,
and 2029-2031. At build-out, Desert Point is projected to include 510 multi-family rental units, a 60,000
sq. ft. hotel, large format retail space (340,000 sq. ft.), office and related space (81,000 sq. ft.), and general
retail, food, and beverage locations (39,900 sq. ft.). Each development phase includes an average of 170
multi-family rental units and a mix of retail and office space. The details of this baseline scenario are
summarized in Table 1. The projected market value of each phase is approximately $60.0 million with a
total market value of $178.2 million for all phases (2023 dollars).

Assessed Value of the TIA
As cited in the project analysis, the estimated AV of the two parcels within the TIA for the 2024 tax year
is $6.8 million, or 0.2% of the City’s total AV of $2.97 billion, which is below the statutory limit of the lesser
of $200 million in AV and 20% of the City’s total AV.
The magnitude and timing of real property development in the TIA will drive growth in incremental
assessed value and, therefore, will drive growth in tax increment revenues. For the baseline scenario
provided by the City, the incremental taxable assessed value of the TIA was estimated by assigning market-
based improvement prices reflecting the land use and size of the proposed private development. (Detailed
year-over-year projections of assessed values within the TIA resulting from the $178.2 million baseline
scenario were not provided by the City.) The assessed values used to calculate tax increment revenues
assumes the market value of new development is added to the tax roll one year after construction is
completed. The City assumes the TIA base value and the assessed values of newly developed properties
will increase by 2.65% annually, which is described as slightly below the region’s 3.7% real rate of assessed
valuation growth and reflective of modest growth assumed for the regional economy.
Tax Increment Revenue Projections
The TIA is expected to be created in 2024, with 2026 being the first year in which the City expects to
receive tax increment revenues based on the tax increment produced in 2025. The term of the TIA is
assumed to be 25 years (the maximum allowed) with 2050 being the final year in which tax increment
revenues will be received. The City assumes a tax increment base AV of $6.8 million. In the baseline
scenario, a projected $353.5 million in incremental AV would be added between 2026 and 2050, with
$178.2 million from private development and $175.3 million from TIA assessed value growth. Under the
baseline scenario, the City projects $23.5 million of tax increment revenues would be collected over the
25-year term of the TIA. See Table 2 – Tax Increment Revenues (Baseline Scenario).
Under the TIF Statute, only certain regular levies are applied to the TIA. Both parts of the state school levy,
local school district excess levies, voted bond levies, and levies of districts for bond payments are excluded
from the TIA levy rate. The TIA’s annual levy rate may change year-to-year based on factors including the
growth rate of the AV of overlapping taxing districts and relevant levy limits. The project analysis calculates
the levy rate for each of these jurisdictions and applies the levy rates to the projected incremental AV
within the TIA to calculate the projected tax allocation revenues provided in Table 2.

In addition to the baseline scenario, the City’s project analysis included three alternative scenarios with
lower estimates of total tax increment revenues. These scenarios are referred to as the levy rate decline
scenario, the lower valuation scenario, and the lower absorption scenario. Table 3 provides a summary
description of each scenario with projected total tax increment revenue relative to the $23.5 million
projected for the baseline scenario. (Detailed annual projections of tax increment revenues for the
alternate scenarios were not provided by the City.)

Financing Plan for Public Improvements
To fund $9.0 million of the proposed roads and utilities public improvements, the City plans to issue $9.0
million of tax-exempt LTGO Bonds in 2025. The City will issue a second series of bonds by 2029 to finance
$5.0 million for the round-about project in the event that a state grant or other funding is not awarded to
the City. As stated in the project analysis, because of their general obligation pledge, the City will be
required to pay the full debt service due on these bonds from the City’s general fund resources, regardless
of the amount of tax increment revenues generated within the TIA.
The City’s structure for the Bonds assumes a 5.0% true interest cost with 20 equal annual payments for
each series. The total principal and interest is estimated at $22.5 million for both series combined. The
maximum annual debt service is projected to be $1.1 million from 2030 through 2045.
For the baseline scenario, which includes both series of bonds being issued, annual deficits between tax
increment revenues and debt service are projected to average $153,000 over the first 20 years of
repayment, resulting in an accumulated deficit of $3.1 million by 2045. Tax increment revenues are
forecast to exceed debt service annually from 2046-2050 such that by 2050 the City’s $3.1 million deficit
is repaid, while also generating a surplus of $1.0 million. Alternatively, if the City receives a state grant for
the round-about project and only issues the first series of bonds for $9.0 million, annual deficits between
tax increment revenues and debt service are projected to average $337,000 over the first four years of
repayment, resulting in an accumulated deficit of $1.3 million by 2029. Tax increment revenues are
forecast to exceed debt service annually from 2030-2050 such that the $1.3 million deficit is repaid to the
City by 2036, while generating a cumulative surplus of $9.1 million by 2050.
The City expects to cover these projected annual shortfalls through a combination of general fund
resources and a limited financial guarantee arrangement with OG-DP. The project analysis notes that the
City has averaged approximately $3.5 million in available general fund reserves not allocated to any
specific operating or capital expense over the six years from 2018 to 2023, and these unallocated funds
can be used to cover deficits between tax increment revenues and debt service. Also, the City may
reprioritize some capital spending to cover such deficits.
The City plans to enter into an agreement with OG-DP in which the ownership group will reimburse the
City for deficits between tax increment revenues and debt service up to a maximum of $10 million. The

ownership group would be repaid by the City for any reimbursements if or when tax increment revenues
exceed debt service in later years. The City’s project analysis did not include information regarding the
adequacy of the financial resources of OG-DP to provide this guarantee to the City.
Debt Capacity
Based on the City’s 2024 total assessed value, the City has $44,509,055 in total non-voted debt capacity
(1.5% of 2024 AV). The City currently has $1,452,152 in outstanding non-voted general obligation debt,
leaving sufficient net non-voted debt capacity of $43,056,903 before the $14,000,000 in TIA bonds are
anticipated to be issued in two series (2025 and by 2029). After these debt issuances, the City’s remaining
non-voted debt capacity would be $29,056,903.

Key Risks
From OST’s review of the project analysis, it appears that the anticipated public improvements and
corresponding economic development will provide benefits to the City and its community. Nonetheless,
the proposed project comes with certain risks and costs to the City, which we attempt to summarize
below:
General Obligation Pledge: The LTGO Bonds expected to be issued in connection with the project’s
plan of finance will obligate the City to pay the full amount of debt service due from City revenues
and resources, regardless of the amount of tax increment revenues generated from the TIA. Because
of the potential cost to the City’s general fund, it is essential that decision makers understand and
accept the project’s risks and potential long-term costs in comparison to its benefits.
Escalation of Project Costs: With an unclear timeline for the construction of the public improvements,
inflation could have a significant impact on the cost of these projects.
Construction Delays: Any delay in private development construction timelines could reduce the
amount of tax increment revenues generated by the TIA.
Permits: It is unclear where the projects are in the permitting process. Delays in permits could
negatively impact the construction of the private developments within the TIA, potentially reducing
the amount of tax increment revenues generated by the TIA.
Economic Conditions: Growth in the TIA’s assessed value could be negatively impacted by depressed
economic conditions. A variety of economic factors could negatively impact the demand for
development, jeopardizing the timeline, scale, and market value of private development, potentially
reducing the amount of tax increment revenues generated by the TIA.
Assessed Valuations: As private developments are completed, the actual assessed values will depend
on factors considered by the County Assessor’s office. Tax increment revenues could potentially be
lower than projected if the assessed values of the projects are lower than expected or take longer
than anticipated to be reflected on the County’s tax rolls, potentially reducing the amount of tax
increment revenues generated by the TIA.
Interest Rate Risk: The City will be exposed to interest rate risk until the anticipated bonds are sold.
The project analysis assumed a relatively generic 5.0% financing rate for 20-year bonds which is
relatively conservative based on current market data.
Risk Summary: The general impact to the City from any of the risk factors outlined above could potentially
be higher costs and/or lower than projected tax increment revenues and a greater than expected reliance
on the City’s general revenues and reserves to pay the debt service due on the bonds issued to fund the
public improvements, reducing the City’s ability to allocate those funds to other projects or operations.
Recommendations
To help ensure the financial success of the project, and to minimize unanticipated costs and risks, we
recommend the City consider the following measures:
1.Prior to approving the TIA, we recommend the City coordinate closely with the taxing districts
impacted by the project, and the County Assessor’s Office, to ensure that all parties have an
COML Council Packet 5-14-24, Page 119 of 120

accurate understanding of how the TIA will impact them and provide sufficient time to work
through any concerns.
2.Prior to approving the TIA, we recommend that the City discuss and establish a policy regarding
how much project related debt service it is able and willing to pay from general fund revenues
and reserves on an annual basis, to offset projected as well as unanticipated tax increment
revenue shortfalls.
3.We recommend that the City conservatively budget for and proactively set funds aside to cover
its projected tax increment revenue shortfalls.
4.As the project moves forward, we recommend the City coordinate with the County Assessor’s
Office to help ensure that the tax increment revenue projections match the County’s assessment
process and are as accurate as possible.
5.Given the timeline for its bond issuances, we recommend the City periodically revisit its interest
rate assumptions.
6.Given the timeline for public improvements, we recommend the City revisit public improvement
cost projections frequently and utilize a publicly recognized inflation index to inform inflation
projections.
Thank you for the opportunity to review the City’s project analysis. Based upon the information provided
to date in connection with this project, this concludes our review. If there are material changes in the
scope, timing, or cost of the project, please let us know. We wish the City all the best with its project.
