Lakeside Disposal is once again hosting the City's annual spring clean drop-off event on Saturday, April 15th
and 29th from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Surf N' Slide Water Park. This is the fifth year of the event, which is
free to City residents and allows City of Moses Lake residents to drop-off up to 3 cubic yards of household
waste. The attached flyer provides information on restrictions and excluded items. Attendance at the event
varies based on weather, but in past years, the event has served approximately 50-60 residents each Saturday
resulting in approximately 2.5 tons of household waste collected over the two-day event.
In February of this year, the Downtown Moses Lake Association (DMLA) had planned to hold a downtown
cleanup event, but that event had to be cancelled due to inclement weather. In conjunction with the annual
spring clean event at the Surf N' Slide Water Park on April 15th, DMLA will be hosting a downtown cleanup from
10:00am - 2:00pm to help tidy up the alley ways between the downtown businesses. Lakeside Disposal and the
City will be helping to sponsor the downtown cleanup event by providing containers and covering disposal costs.
At the recent business expo the City participated in, the Director of Care Moses Lake approached the City to
offer assistance in organizing a citywide cleanup event. Care Moses Lake is interested in helping organize local
non-profits to participate and volunteer in a cleanup event. In past years, customers have expressed their
desire to participate in the spring clean event, but they do not have a way to transport waste to the event site.
One idea for an event would be to have non-profit organizations provide assistance to residents in loading and
transporting waste to an event site. Another idea would be to assign specific areas in the city to various non-
profit organizations to collect litter and debris. A meeting is scheduled on April 10th with City staff to begin
discussions on ways to make a citywide cleanup event happen.
We have updated our recycle flyer (attached English and Spanish versions) and it will be included with utility
bills in late spring/early summer.
Finally, the Department of Ecology launched their "Don't Bag Your Recyclables" campaign this week. The City
will be adding information on this program to the Utility Billing webpage and providing some social media
coverage on this program as well as outreach to customers. The webpage for Ecology's campaign can be
found at: Recycle Right - Washington State Department of Ecology

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.

Overview
96.56KB
On Saturday, April 1, 2023, an automobile accident occurred south of the intersection of N. Stratford and W.
Valley Roads. As part of the accident, a vehicle exited the roadway, colliding with and destroying two traffic
control boxes. City staff placed temporary stop signs at the intersection. Given the high traffic usage of the
intersection, this action is considered a temporary, remedial measure. Emergency repairs were required to
return this high traffic intersection to proper functional control.
The sudden failure of the traffic control equipment at this intersection was an unforeseen circumstance beyond
the control of the City and created an emergency condition for the citizens of the City. The failure of said traffic
control presented a real, immediate threat to the health, safety, and welfare of the City of Moses Lake, including
material loss and damage to property or bodily injury or harm.
A budget amendment will be forthcoming related to the required appropriation.
There are sufficient unexpended monies available for repairs in the appropriate street account to complete the
repairs.

A RESOLUTION DECLARING THE EXISTENCE OF AN EMERGENCY
AND WAIVING AND DISPENSING WITH THE STATUTORY
COMPETITIVE BIDDING REQUIREMENTS
Recitals
1.The City of Moses Lake is a code city operating under the authority of Chapter 35A
RCW.
2.The City, under Title 35A.11 RCW and RCW 35A.13.230, has “… any authority
ever given to any class of municipality or to all municipalities of this state…”
3.The City has the authority to commence a public work without complying with the
statutory bid requirements in an emergency situation under the authority given by
RCW 35.22.620(6), RCW 39.04.280, and other Washington law.
4.On Saturday, April 1, 2023, an automobile accident occurred south of the
intersection of N. Stratford and W. Valley Roads. As part of the accident, a vehicle
exited the roadway, colliding with and destroying two traffic control boxes.
5.City staff placed temporary stop signs at the intersection. Given the high traffic
usage of the intersection, this action is considered a temporary, remedial measure.
6.Emergency repairs are required to return this high traffic intersection to proper
functional control.
7.The sudden failure of the traffic control equipment at this intersection was an
unforeseen circumstance beyond the control of the City and created an emergency
condition for the citizens of the City. The failure of said traffic control presents a
real, immediate threat to the health, safety, and welfare of the City of Moses Lake,
including material loss and damage to property or bodily injury or harm.
8.Therefore, an emergency exists due to the failure of said traffic control equipment,
and complying with statutory bid requirements would unnecessarily delay the
completion of delivery and installation of replacement traffic control equipment,
and any increased costs associated with waiving the competitive bidding process
will be outweighed by the costs associated with the traffic control equipment being
out of service for an extended period.
9.There are sufficient unexpended monies available for repairs in the appropriate
street account to complete the repairs.
Resolved
1.An emergency exists due to the recent failure of traffic control equipment, and it is
imperative to install replacement equipment as quickly as possible to preserve and
protect the public’s health, safety, and welfare, and to prevent property damage and
bodily injury.
2.Because an emergency exists, under the laws of the state of Washington, the
statutory bid requirements are dispensed with and waived for the repairs to traffic
control equipment at the intersection of N. Stratford and W. Valley Roads.
3.This emergency condition was caused by an automobile accident in the area on
April 1, 2023. Information has been delivered to Northeast Electric, LLC, the
company which installed the previous traffic control equipment; the company is
capable, qualified, and available to perform this public work. Any and all actions
taken by the City Manager prior to April 11, 2023 in connection with this
emergency and the traffic control equipment repair work, including the selection of
any Contractors and the execution of any contracts and other necessary documents,
are hereby approved, confirmed, and ratified.

The Community Development Department has received a request from Serge Pashkovsky on behalf of Ultra
Modern LLC, to build on Assessor Parcel Number (AFN) 090845000 located at 121 E. Sixth Ave (Exhibit A -
January 11, 2023- Michael Earl, Esq). Upon original receipt of this request, the City reached out to Earl &
Edwards informing the requester that the topic at hand was whether the property was a legal lot of record and
that the Tile Company would need to provide a copy of the chain of tle to the Planning Division for legal lot of
record determina on.
On February 21, 2023, Stewart Title Company provided recorded documents that could support a chain of tle
(Exhibit B Deeds - deed recorded in 1967 under AFN# 529027 and subsequent deeds AFN#s 725409, 121350,

established deed was recorded in 1967 under AFN# 529027. Although this por on of property is in the Burress
Tract #3 and was recorded in 1945, the deed that established this property is not a record of survey nor is it
considered “pla ed.”
Moses Lake Municipal Code (MLMC) requires property to be pla ed before the issuance of a building permit

Security shall not be entitled to any benefits accorded to City employees by virtue of the services
provided under this Contract. The City shall not be responsible for withholding or otherwise

Moses Lake Council Packet 4-11-23, Page 54 of 79

servant or representative of the City for any purpose. Pacific Security will be solely and entirely
responsible for its acts and for the acts of its agents, employees, servants, subcontractors, or
representatives during the performance of this Contract. It is understood that Pacific Security is
free to contract for similar services to be performed for other parties while Patrol is under contract

understands and acknowledges that the City will be relying upon its accuracy, competence and
credibility and the completeness of the services to be provided hereunder. The City further
understands and agrees that Pacific Security is not providing absolute or maximum security and

are based solely upon the value of the services rendered and are unrelated to the value of the City’s
property. Pacific Security is not responsible for any loss by reason of theft, vandalism, or any other
act, which is not directly caused by an agent or an employee of Pacific Security. The City
understands that the services furnished under this Contract shall be in conformity with practices

not represent and cannot warrant that the services furnished will prevent or minimize the likelihood
of loss; Pacific Security’s responsibility is solely limited to providing physical security services

available to the City at an additional cost.

aspect of this Contract; provided, however, that if such claims are caused by or result from the
concurrent negligence of the City, its agents, employees, and/or officers, this indemnity provision
shall be valid and enforceable only to the extent of the negligence of Pacific Security and its agents,
employees, and/or officers; and provided further, that nothing herein shall require Pacific Security
to hold harmless or defend the City, its agents, employees and/or officers from any claims arising
from the sole negligence of the City, its agents, employees, and/or officers. Pacific Security
expressly agrees that the indemnification provided herein constitutes the contractor's waiver of
immunity under Title 51 RCW, for the purposes of this Agreement. This waiver has been mutually
negotiated by the Parties. The provisions of this section shall survive the expiration or termination
of this Contract. No liability shall attach to the City by reason of entering into this Contract except

breach of any other provision of this Contract. The failure of a Party to insist upon strict adherence
to any term of this Contract on one or more occasions shall neither be considered a waiver nor
deprive that Party of any right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other
term of this Contract. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by the Party to be charged

ORDINANCE XXXX, 2023-04-11, TITLE 5 REVISED.docx 26.15KB
City departments have been working together to update business licensing codes to reflect the administrative
transitions that have taken place over the past few years. The administration of business licensing is primarily
performed in the Finance Department. Updating the code to reflect current operations for application review,
issuance, and enforcement will help clearly define the process and shift responsibility to the appropriate staff
while providing clarity to the licensing process for applicants.
As of August 2022, background checks are no longer required as part of the application process for Mobile Food
Vendors. Revisions to 5.02.010 and 5.2.020 will remove Mobile Food Vendors from the current code language
and support the changes adopted in 2022.
WCIA has advised that it is unnecessary to require commercial liability insurance when licensing Mobile Food
Vendors, Street Food Vendors or Temporary Location Businesses when they are operating on private property.
Commercial liability insurance will still be required to operate these businesses on City property as part of the
Special Event requirements outlined in MLMC 5.12.130.

No Action Taken:
As stated in the City of Moses Lake Water Purveyor Profile, “The City of Moses Lake continues to see declining
water levels in most of the City’s wells. These declining water levels have resulted in a decreased ability to
provide water to the community. The City is currently evaluating other water sources, enhancing water
conservation as well as education and outreach, working to reduce reliance on potable water as a primary
irrigation source, completing multiple storage and well rehabilitation projects, and identifying elements in city
code that need to be updated to meet Council goals.”
In August 2022, 457 million gallons of potable water was consumed by utility customers; approximately 240
million gallons for irrigation. The Water Resources Committee would like to propose the following code revisions
in an effort to enhance the existing water conservation measures and help protect one of the region’s most
invaluable resources, our water.
Chapter 13.07.010 Water Conservation, Restrictions, and Rationing
·Extend the current conservation requirements to be year-round.
·Switch from odd/even calendar days to designated days of the week, allowing all customers three days per
week to irrigate.
·Prohibit irrigating on Mondays to reduce burden on the system.
-Monday demand during peak operations 15,500 – 16,000 gpm
-Daily demand during peak operations 14,000 -14,500 gpm
·Restricting irrigation use during heat of the day, 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
·Restricting irrigation use during/following a measurable weather event.
·Specific Water Restriction/Rationing will be defined as needed.
Chapter 13.07.060 Water Use
·Require immediate attention to water leaks to reduce unnecessary water loss.
·Require use of water saving devices such as a hose nozzle when using potable water to wash vehicles, or
outdoor hardscape features, such as sidewalks, driveways, decks, and patios to conserve water.
There is a cost associated with dispatching staff to turn the water meter off and on if the leak is not repaired or
stopped within 72 hours. The proposed Fee Schedule Resolution ensures the City is not gifting services and is
recouping the expense to provide the service.
Options and Results
Implement these changes upon the effective date of the ordinance and resolution.
Staff will bring back options for recommended changes.
Continue processing in the current manner.

As a result of the
deep aquifer decline, the
City of Moses Lake is
experiencing serious water
supply issues ... Solutions to
this issue are not easy and
require a comprehensive
approach, first among
those is a committed and
coordinated effort by all of
our partners in the
region.
Education and outreach
Additional tier-rates for all users
Developing plans to reduce potable
water irrigation usage on city
owned properties and recreation
facilities.
Current normal water system demand
is 4.2 mg/d. Summer demand is 16
mg/d. This increase is well outside of
national averages and planning
standards (AWWA). Six of our 18 wells
currently require additional summer
demand monitoring and management
because of lost aquifer capacity, with
peak day demand at 20 - 22mg.
In 2022, the city invested in an
aggressive conservation campaign that
includes:
The city is committing to a 5-year
potable water irrigation reduction of
50% and are in the process of updating
the 2015 Comprehensive Water
System Plan.
When the city transitions to
surface/shallow water, the required
treatment and estimated cost for total
water needs is in excess of $230M.
