single-family homes (including manufactured homes). In addition, every parcel of land hereafter used for
parking purposes shall be developed and permanently maintained in accordance with the Code
requirements.
The garage is intended for car parking for the residence and should be maintained as such unless
additional compliant parking is developed on-site.
Code Amendment
The covered parking required is found within Moses Lake Municipal Code 18.20.050 Development
Standards for Residential Zones.
Within the R-1 Zoning District, Table 2: Development Standards in Residential Zones the following
requirement is included:
“Minimum required number of covered (footnote 11) parking spaces, in addition to off-street parking
required in Chapter 18.54.”
Footnote No. 11. In a garage or carport constructed to the standards of the State Building Code.
Summary - The amendment to the code is to remove the word “covered”, and to eliminate Footnote #11.

No Action Taken:
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.

On August 24, 2022, City Council approved a contract amendment with the engineering consultant Keller
Associates for design work to replace the aging wastewater pumps at the Central Operations Facility.
In the course of planning investigations, city staff and our engineering consultant identified several options for
the project. City staff have elected to move forward with Option #3 which involves geotechnical site
investigations, wet well design, valve vault design, wastewater pump design, electrical cabinet design, related
infrastructure improvement design, and planning for the demolition of some existing structures at the work site.
This amendment will allow the engineering consultant to move ahead with the detailed design of Option #3.
This amendment also includes support for submitting required documentation to the Department of Ecology and
SRF funding application support for the construction phase of the project.
Amendment #5 will increase the contract spending limit for contract GC2021-055 by an amount of $276,200.
The aggregate spending limit will remain below the amount budgeted for 2023.
Options and Results
City staff will execute Amendment #5 with the engineering consultant.Moses Lake Council Packet 6-13-23, Page 42 of 112

The City proposes to install 18-inch PVC gravity sewer and manholes in Westshore Drive between Road 4
and Fairway Drive. This project is planned to be in coordination with Grant County's planned reconstruction
of Westshore Drive in 2025. In order to coordinate the City's and County's designs, design funding should
be appropriated soon.
At this time funds for design-only are being requested in the amount of $50,000. The construction funds would
be requested later as part of the normal budget process and would probably be spend in 2025.
Options and Results
City staff will work with Grant County to create an ILA and complete the design of this project. Engineering
design time will be charged to the approved project budget.
Staff will develop other alternatives for council to review.Moses Lake Council Packet 6-13-23, Page 52 of 112

Elevate has a record of success in assisting cities and counties with similar issues. For the City of Hillsboro,
Oregon, Elevate has supported the City's efforts to access a new source of water from the Willamette River and
advised the City on a successful $250.5 million WIFIA loan for 30 miles of pipes, intake values, two storage
reservoirs and a treatment plan. For Kendall County, Illinois, Elevate secured $6.6 million in the current federal
fiscal year for multiple projects, including the region's efforts to secure a new drinking water source due to
projected water shortages and aquifer contamination.
The proposed contract includes a monthly retainer of $8,500. The full value of the contract is $102,000, of which
approximately $61,000 will be remitted in 2023.
Options and Results
City staff will execute the proposed agreement.
Staff will bring back options for recommended changes.
The City will not retain professional consulting services related to securing federal funds for water-related
projects.

P.O. Box 1579
Moses Lake, WA 98837
Dear Mr. Huebner:
Thank you for the opportunity to present this proposal to provide Federal government affairs
services to the City of Moses Lake (“Moses Lake” or the “City”). Our past and existing
experience working with cities, towns, and other municipalities in the Pacific Northwest and
across the country uniquely positions Elevate Government Affairs (“Elevate” or “the Firm”) to
provide measurable results for Moses Lake. We are subject matter experts who understand the
complexities of Washington, DC and will work to secure PFAS remediation and water
infrastructure funding that is critical to meeting the community’s needs.
Enclosed is Elevate’s proposal, as requested following initial discussions with Moses Lake on
April 25, 2023.
We are excited to secure Federal funding for Moses Lake for PFAS remediation and/or water
infrastructure. We understand that the presence of contaminated groundwater has resulted in
limitations on the City’s water availability. This ability has been further strained by the depletion
of deepwater aquifers and an expanding population. We will leverage our knowledge of federal
grant programs and our relationships within Congress and the Administration to secure the
Federal funds needed to address these issues.
With our deep experience securing water infrastructure and other federal funding for
municipalities, we are confident that we possess the necessary expertise and experience to
perform at the highest level for the City. The Firm’s bipartisan structure, our dedication to
crafting federal strategies tailored to each client, our commitment to client communications, and
the collaboration among our professionals will allow us to succeed in the dynamic Federal arena
on your behalf.
Thank you for your consideration of our proposal; we look forward to continuing the dialogue
between Elevate and Moses Lake.

I. Overview
It is our understanding that the City of Moses Lake faces significant water supply challenges stemming
from both rapid growth and fast-depleting aquifers. Contamination from the former Larson Air Force
Base, now Grant County International Airport, and possibly other areas, combined with the continued
drawdown of deepwater aquifers from the Columbia Basin Project has led to limited availability of new
drinking water sources for the City.
As Moses Lake continues to grow, there is a pressing need to secure additional water resources and build
new water infrastructure that can support an expanding population, while also addressing groundwater
contamination from trichloroethylene, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), and other hazardous
chemicals.
An avenue towards mitigating this issue is Federal funding, both for PFAS remediation and water
infrastructure in general. Working with the City’s leadership and subject matter experts, we are confident
we have the relationships and experience necessary to secure federal funding for the City’s plans to
address contamination and water availability.
We have deep connections with the lawmakers that we will need to engage with – Sens. Maria Cantwell
(D-WA) and Patty Murray (D-WA), as well as Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-WA). Furthermore, we have
strong relationships with political and career staff at the agencies with programs that can provide funding
to address these challenges, including the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Bureau of
Reclamation (Reclamation), and the Economic Development Administration (EDA).
At Elevate we are subject matter experts on a wide variety of issues and problem solvers, and we are
confident in our abilities to execute a government affairs strategy on behalf of Moses Lake to ensure the
City has the resources it needs.
II. Scope of Work
Elevate will work with Moses Lake and Marten Law to secure Federal funds for PFAS remediation and
water infrastructure. We also work with the City and Marten Law to identify and pursue alternate plans
that can mitigate the issues facing Moses Lake as determined by the City.
If hired, we will, in conjunction with the City and Marten Law, craft a tailored Federal strategy that will
identify several different paths to success. We believe that Federal funds from the EPA, including funding
programs administered by the Washington Department of Ecology, can help address the PFAS and water
infrastructure challenges facing the City. For example, if the City qualifies as an economically
disadvantaged community for Ecology’s Remedial Action Grant program, it will likely qualify as the
same for EPA’s Emerging Contaminants in Small or Disadvantaged Communities Grant program.
Furthermore, engaging with the Bureau of Reclamation may provide an avenue towards accessing non-
potable water from Moses Lake for use by the City.
Beyond Federal agencies, we have excellent relationships with the Washington state congressional
delegation and the members and senior staff of the relevant House and Senate committees. We will

6
440 First Street NW, Suite 550, Washington, DC 20001 • 202-919-9600 • elevatega.com
leverage these connections as appropriate to amplify the voice of the City as we execute the decided upon
Federal government affairs strategy.
Government relations take on a fluid nature, meaning that we will be able to adapt should we, Marten
Law, or Moses Lake identify a risk or opportunity that must be acted upon immediately. We can secure
the necessary meetings and information on short notice and are prepared for any situation.
The Scope of Work that Elevate will carry out for Moses Lake is:
• Secure Federal funds for PFAS testing and remediation, as well as water infrastructure funding, to
ensure that the City is prepared for both its current water needs and future growth;
o Options include the:
▪ Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA) loan program (EPA);
▪ Emerging Contaminants in Small or Disadvantaged Communities Grant program
(EPA);
▪ Public Works and Economic Adjustment Assistance (Economic Development
Administration);
▪ Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (EPA);
▪ Safe Drinking Water Action Grants (Ecology); and
▪ Economic Development Initiative-Community Project Funding grants
(Department of Housing and Urban Development), among others.
• Explore alternative avenues towards expanding the City’s water resources, such as by engaging
with the Bureau of Reclamation on using water from Moses Lake for certain uses;
• Engage with the Washington state congressional delegation to secure congressional champions on
grant and loan applications, and to raise awareness on the issues facing the City;
o This includes Sens. Cantwell, Murray, and Rep. Newhouse.
• Provide the City with timely information related to identified issues from Capitol Hill and the
Biden Administration;
• Lead all coordination efforts as they relate to meetings with Members of Congress and Executive
agencies.
III. Proposed Approach
As the Federal affairs representative for Moses Lake, Elevate would work with the City to ensure it
secures the Federal resources necessary for success through the programs identified in the Scope of Work
To best establish a strategy, we would propose an initial meeting to fully understand the issues facing
Moses Lake and the water infrastructure and financial needs of the City. This understanding would
provide us the framework which we would use when crafting messages to engage Members of Congress
and develop a strategy for grants and loans that the City could pursue.
Should a long-term approach also be desired by the City, we would continue to assess and adapt the
strategic approach for Moses Lake, while still executing on the short-term goals. We view a Washington,
D.C. strategy as holistic and constantly shifting based on external factors such as elections and other
events affecting the political calculus.
We have a longstanding and proven belief that bipartisanship is the best way to get things done and are
therefore poised to take advantage of our relationships in the Administration and on Capitol Hill during
Moses Lake Council Packet 6-13-23, Page 84 of 112
7
440 First Street NW, Suite 550, Washington, DC 20001 • 202-919-9600 • elevatega.com
this period of divided government. We will focus our efforts on career and political officials at the EPA,
the EDA, Reclamation, and key lawmakers and their staff.
With respect to actual outreach, our clients range from Fortune 500 companies to local municipalities to
early-stage start-ups, cutting across every industry and all 50 states. The relationships and connections
that we possess cover virtually every single aspect of the federal government, whether it be with Congress
Members and their staff, or with Federal Departments and sub-agencies. We have relationships beyond
what is listed, but below is what we believe to be the agencies and congressional offices of the most
relevance to the City.
a. Congressional Outreach
Members of our team have years of experience working directly with virtually every congressional
committee and federal agency with authority over a wide range of issues. Our networks cut across a broad
range of Congressional power centers relevant to Moses Lake including but not limited to:
• Senate Leadership;
• Senate Committee on Appropriations;
• Senate Committee on Environmental
and Public Works;
• Senate Committee on Energy and
Natural Resources;

• Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-WA)
• House Leadership

b. Administration Outreach
Our decades of experience gives our team strong personal ties with political and career leadership within
agencies relevant to Moses Lake. Our team has engaged Executive Branch agencies on many issues,
including the implementation of new policy initiatives and regulatory decision-making. In addition,
Elevate maintains strong personal ties with political and career leadership across the federal agencies that
carry oversight over grants and programs important to the City’s federal agenda. This includes but is not
limited to the:
• Environmental Protection Agency;
• Department of Commerce;
o Economic Development
Administration;

c. Communications and Deliverables
Our methods of communication would be as follows:
• Regular Phone Calls: Conduct regular phone calls with Moses Lake so that the City is fully
informed about our activities on an ongoing basis, and to ensure that we are communicating about
the current policy state of play and that we stay aligned with Moses Lake’s policy and regulatory
goals;
• Monthly Written Statements of Work: Each month, we give statements of work detailing the
activities undertaken for clients, should the client want such a statement, and will share with
Marten Law; and
• Daily Communications: As needed, during certain points of the Congressional session, we will
maintain daily phone and email contact with the City as we respond quickly to any roadblocks or
new opportunities that may arise, and field last minute inquiries from Members, Administration
officials, and their staff. We also provide a daily update of notable and relevant stories and
actions from all branches of government.
IV. Elevate Information
Elevate, its principals, and team members have an extensive history over the past 20 years of representing
and working with clients to execute their Federal agendas. We have had significant success working with
similar organizations to Moses Lake as it relates to securing Federal funds due to our collaborative nature
and our deep connections to Members of Congress and Executive Branch agencies. We believe these
qualities make us uniquely qualified to work with the City to serve as its presence in Washington, DC.
Elevate was established in October 2019 by a bipartisan team that worked together on Capitol Hill for
multiple years and have since lobbied together at the Federal level for more than 16 years. The Co-
Founders created Elevate with the mission of providing value to clients at every level of government by
elevating their government affairs engagement to deliver measurable results against their policy priorities.
We have experienced robust growth in the ensuing years because of our focus on metrics and client
service, now providing tailored, curated strategies to many clients, including the City of Hillsboro,
Oregon, the Village of Oswego, Illinois, the United City of Yorkville, Illinois, and the Chelan Douglas
Regional Port Authority. While not exhaustive, we also represent the Port of Seattle, Northwest Seaport
Alliance Meta, Microsoft, Babcock and Wilcox, SSAB and General Motors, among others. This breadth
of clients and the complexity of their issues requires us to engage and work with virtually every Federal
agency, Congressional committee and lawmaker of relevance to Moses Lake.
Elevate’s team brings decades of combined experience working for Democratic and Republican Members
of the House and Senate, Congressional Committees, and the Executive Branch. Our team consists of
former Republican and Democratic senior staff to the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation
Committee, political and career staff at the Departments of Transportation and Energy, former staff on the
House Transportation and Infrastructure and Energy and Commerce Committees, personal office staff
that executed Members’ legislative agendas, and more. We believe the best way to win is to leverage all
these resources in support of our clients’ agendas—when you hire Elevate, you always have access to
every member of our collaborative team.

Because of our firm's bipartisan and bicameral nature, we have a proven history of success, regardless of
who is in the White House or who has the majority in Congress. We also use our wide-ranging sector
expertise, broad networks and varied professional background to engage with third party groups and
entities to deliver successful outcomes for our clients. Furthermore, the team in place at Elevate excels in
collaborating with one another, providing a framework to develop innovative and effective strategies. Our
size and model allow us to communicate with each other and ensures collaboration on each of our clients,
utilizing all our experience and networks. Our clients are not limited to one or two of our team. This is an
important aspect of our firm. When you hire us, you get our collective experience, everyone in the firm is
aware of each client’s goals and is used to achieving them.
Elevate is a firm full of trusted advisors with expertise across multiple sectors. At Elevate, we harness our
diverse experiences and backgrounds and work collectively to maximize success across the legislative
and executive branches. We help our clients rise above the noise and cut through governmental gridlock.
We partner with our clients to identify the right goals and clear the right paths to achieve them. We have
grown significantly since launching our own company with little degradation of clients. We are proud of
that. It shows that we are executing and providing a return on investment to our clients.
V. Examples of Elevate Success
We have a history and strong record of accomplishment working with and driving results on behalf of our
clients who share similar aspects to Moses Lake, both structurally and in their policy goals. Below are
two brief examples of the work that we have done with these clients.
a. City of Hillsboro, Oregon
Elevate has worked with the City of Hillsboro since 2010. During that time, our focus has largely been on
the Water Department and specifically accessing a new source of water for the City of Hillsboro from the
Willamette River. As the home of Intel’s semiconductor manufacturing, access to water is a key
economic driver for the City. Working on behalf of the City and other impacted cities along the
Willamette through our concurrent representation of the Pacific Northwest Section of the American Water
Works Association, we have led the effort in Washington, DC to advance a reallocation study through the
Army Corps of Engineers and the House and Senate committees of jurisdiction. We assisted the City and
its partners in advancing the reallocation through the Corps’ process and secured a signed Chief’s Report,
and worked with the Oregon delegation and the committees of jurisdiction to secure a modification to
provide local flexibility while protecting municipal water. The authorization and the modification were
both signed into law as part of the Water Resources Development Act of 2020.
Additionally, we were successful in advising the City as they applied for and received a loan under the
Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA) program. This loan was one of two loans
related to the $1.3 billion Willamette Water Supply System. The City secured $250.5 million to assist in
the construction of 30 miles of pipes, intake valves, a water treatment plant and two storage reservoirs to
deliver Willamette River water to the City and County. In 2020, we successfully worked with the City
and WIFIA office to refinance the loan to take advantage of the low interest rate environment at the time,
saving taxpayers $50 million over the life of the loan. Additionally, we have secured earmarks for the
City and its municipal partners to expand the federal partnership and drive additional federal funding to
the project.

b. Kendall County, Village of Montgomery, Village of Oswego & Unified City of
Yorkville, Illinois
For Kendall County, the Village of Montgomery, Village of Oswego and the United City of Yorkville ,
we serve as the Washington, DC representative for all interactions with the Federal government. Like
with Hillsboro, we have a history of success of using the appropriations process to secure funds for them.
For the current federal fiscal year (FY 2023) we were able to secure $6.6 million in funding between the
FY23 Transportation, and Housing and Urban Development and FY23 Interior, Environment
Appropriations bills that were passed by the House.
We are also constantly engaging with the House and Senate Appropriations Committees, as well as the
Department of Transportation (“DOT”), the Federal Railroad Administration (“FRA”), and the Office of
the Secretary of Transportation (“OST”), the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and the Water
Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act Program Office as part of our efforts to secure funding for
Oswego’s and Yorkville’s commuter rail extension project and their project to secure a new drinking
water source for the communities due to projected water shortages and contamination in their aquifer.

The signal controller for the Valley & Stratford Road intersection was destroyed in a traffic accident. City Staff
followed the emergency public works process to award the work to Northeast Electric, LLC to get the
intersection running again as soon as possible. City Council previously ratified the emergency declaration. The
battery backup cabinet took several weeks to arrive on site, which delayed to final completion of the project.
The work is now complete and the final pay estimate accepted by the Contractor.
The final cost for this project is $54,000. The original bid amount was $59,000. The savings due to a reduced
need to provide traffic control during construction.
Upon acceptance, the City will enter into the 60-day lien period as required by Washington State Law.
Options and Results
Staff will send a Notification of Acceptance to the contractor and the 60-day lien period will begin.
Staff will bring back options for recommended changes.

At the Aprill 11, 2023 Council meeting, Council directed staff to address and provide clarification for proposed
water conservation measures including: a sunset provision for watering restrictions, City led conservation efforts,
and to provide clarification about the 72-hour timeframe for stopping leaks.
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
source, completing multiple storage and well rehabilitation projects, and identifying elements in city code that
need to be updated to meet Council goals."
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 Moses Lake Council Packet 6-13-23, Page 94 of 112
Fiscal and Policy Implications
Approve, Authorize, or Adopt:
Extend the current conservation requirements to be year-round.
- The current code requires water conservation June 1st thru September 31st
Switch from odd/even calendar days to designated days of the week, allowing all customers three days per
week to irrigate.
Prohibit irrigation on Mondays.
-Mondays often see the highest potable use resulting in strain refilling the reservoirs.
Restricting irrigation use during heat of the day, 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
-Currently the code does not restrict irrigation during the hottest times of the day.
-10% of all irrigation is lost when temperatures exceed 100 degrees.
Restricting irrigation use during or 48 hours after a measurable rainfall event.
-Measurable rainfall means all precipitation reported at the Grant County International Airport greater than .01
inches during any 24-hour period.
Creation of a Sod/Turf Permit for one address per year.
-This will ensure permit holders can install sod/turf with unrestricted watering for up to 14 days.
-The permit will be issued by the Public Works office.
Water conservation measures will be revisited every two years, beginning February 2025, following a review
of water resource availability.
City Parks will observe the following water regulations.
-No zone using potable water for irrigation purposes, will run more than three times per week with the following
exemptions:
*High tourism value parks: Larson Playfield, Laurzier Playfield, and Yonezawa Park
*City parks without remote watering capabilities are exempt from time-of-day watering restrictions, these
parks must be manually watered during work hours.
*Upon written request of the Director of parks, Recreation, and Cultural Services, the City Manager may
approve a one-day exemption to watering restrictions to promote turf recovery following a Special Event
held at the park.
Specific Water Restrictions/Rationing will be defined on a case-by case basis.
There are no proposed changes regarding enforcement of water conservation for Chapter 13.07.010.
Chapter 13.07.060 Water Use
Require immediate attention (up to 72 hours) to water leaks to reduce unnecessary water loss.
-Unrepaired leaks can result in tens of thousands of water loss in just a few days.
-Temporary measures can be taken to stop or bypass leaks, while still providing water supply to the home for
occupants.
Require use of water saving devices such as hose nozzle when using potable water to wash vehicles or
outdoor hardscape features such as sidewalks, driveways, decks, and patios.
There is a cost associated with dispatching staff to turn the water meter off and on if a leak is not repaired or
stopped within 72 hours. The proposed Fee Resolution and Code revisions ensure 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.

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.

The Shoreline Master Program (SMP) final draft is provided for City Council's review to consider adoption at the
June 27, 2023 meeting. This first reading is an overview to acquaint Council with the SMP.
Adopting Ordinance - Moses Lake Draft.docx 25.84KB
The Shoreline Management Act (SMA) requires all counties and most towns and cities with shorelines to
develop and implement Shoreline Master Programs. The SMA was passed by the Washington Legislature in
1971 and adopted by voters in 1972. Its overarching goal is "to prevent the inherent harm in an uncoordinated
and piecemeal development of the state’s shorelines."
Local jurisdictions are required to periodically update their adopted Shoreline Management Program (SMP) to
maintain compliance with state statutes and local goals and policies. The Planning Division has worked with
consultants from SCJ Alliance to update the City’s SMP. SEPA (environmental) review has been conducted on
the SMP and a Determination of Nonsignificance was issued. The Planning Commission has reviewed the SMP
periodically throughout the update process. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on February 16,
2023 and recommended approval of the proposed amendments and forwarded to City Council. The updated
SMP has been submitted to the Department of Ecology and has provided a formal written statement of
concurrence of the proposed amendments.

Overview
In accordance with the established fee schedule, ordinances, policies and procedures, vendors at special
events are charged concessionaire fees of 15% of gross revenue on for-profit vendors and 10% of gross
revenue on non-profit vendors. Additionally, each business participating in a sidewalk sale is charged a $25 fee.
Staff does not have the authority to waive these fees.
For the Red, White, and Boom! event we plan on having vendors in McCosh Park and the DMLA would like to
have a sidewalk sale. We currently have 5-6 vendors for McCosh Park and no businesses willing to pay the $25
fee for the sidewalk sale. In order to increase business participation in the event and encourage the community
to come downtown on July 1st to enjoy it, staff would recommend waiving the concessionaire fees for vendors
and the sidewalk sale fee for businesses in conjunction with the July 1st Red, White, and Boom event.
