The following amounts were budgeted and sufficient funds were available to cover these payments:
Electronic Transfer 150-166 $ 1,210,885.50 Checks 155970 – 156100 $ 443,169.74 Payroll Checks 64264 – 64277 $ 5,010.57 Electronic Payments Payroll ACH 4/29/2020 $ 490,347.31 0.00 Summary
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 has 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 its processes to ensure appropriate internal controls are in place.

Subject: Well 34 Pump Test Project Change Order #2 (GC2021-051)
Legislative History: Financial Impact:
•First Presentation: Change Order #1: April 12 $ 81,300.00
•Second Presentation: Change Order #2: May 10 $ 85,303.05
•Action: Motion

Total Cost: $ 166,603.05
Overview
The Municipal Services and Public Works departments, in conjunction with Aspect Consulting (an
engineering consulting firm), have determined that Well 34 would be a strategic and
advantageous addition to the City’s water supply system. The well was drilled in April of 2016
but has not yet been fully developed or approved as a municipal water source for the City of
Moses Lake. The first steps towards gaining Department of Health approval are:
1.Fully develop the well screen.
2.Complete a step drawdown
pump test and constant rate
pump test.
3.Test the water quality.
4.Obtain a report documenting the
tests stamped by a licensed
hydrologist.
Work for this project began on March 28,
2022. After a total of 80 hours of surging
and bailing the well, progress has been
made, but the well has failed to fully
develop (Step 1 above). The picture to
the right shows a pile of sand next to the
well head. This is some of the material
that was extracted from the well during the recent surge/bail process. The possibility that the
well screen would fail to fully develop was described in Change Order Number 1.
Well 34
Moses Lake Council Packet 5-10-22, Page 14 of 105
To run the pump tests now (Step 2 above) would be risky because the amount of sand that the
well continues to produce would likely damage the test pump, rendering the test data unusable.
Installing a new well screen and field packing the screen is the preferred option for continuing
this project and turning Well 34 into reliable water source for the City.
An analysis of the proposed well screen design has been completed, and while the new screen
could potentially reduce the flow rate of the well, the expected production flow rate is
comfortably adequate (greater than 1000 GPM).
Fiscal and Policy Implications
The Well 34 Pump Test Project Change Order #2 would require unbudgeted funds to be spent.

Well 34 is greatly needed to provide a stable long-term water source for the City.

Subject: Contract Change Order – Rolluda Architects
Legislative History: Financial Impact:
• First Presentation: January 11, 2022 Budgeted Amount: $ 88,000
• Second Presentation: May 10, 2022 Unbudgeted Amount: $ 20,875
• Action: Motion Total Cost: $108,875
Overview
Following is the Scope of Work proposed by Rolluda to complete a cost estimate for building the
police station as new construction.
1. The purpose of this study is to develop a rough order of magnitude construction cost for
building a new police facility at the referenced site.
2. We will be using the City of Pasco’s Police Building as a basis for this study, which has an
approximately 29,000 sf footprint. In addition to the building, we assume there will be
site requirements similar to our earlier study for the police station remodel. This
includes secured parking for staff and patrol vehicles, with a portion of covered parking
for police vehicles. There will also be an emergency generator and potentially a radio
tower, similar to the on at the existing police station. This will also include a public
parking area. We also understand that the City would like to collocate a fire station and
a tiny home village on the site, so consideration will be given to these uses when laying
out the police station site.
3. We will meet with the Police to confirm building and site requirements prior to
developing site plan options.
4. We will develop up to 3 site plan options, then conduct a virtual workshop to present
and discuss these options, with the goal of building consensus around a preferred
direction.
5. We will refine the preferred option and develop a cost estimate.
6. We will submit a white paper of our findings.
7. The City will be providing a AutoCAD survey of the site with utilities, property
boundaries, topography, and trees/vegetation indicated.
8. We anticipate it will take around 3-4 weeks to complete this study, once we receive the
AutoCAD survey.
Moses Lake Council Packet 5-10-22, Page 18 of 105
Based on the cost to remodel the Police Station, Council provided direction to get an
estimate for building new. This would complete that work and Staff would be able to return
to Council for a decision on the preferred direction to move forward.
Fiscal and Policy Implications
This is a design cost that would be recaptured through the bonding for the facility.

Overview
Staff recently met with Stephanie Massart with National Society Daughters of the American
Revolution in McCosh Park about adding a memorial/historical marker identifying McCosh Park as
the site of Victory Village during World War II.
As part of the
Public Works
Administration, in
1943 thousands of
workers came to
the area be a part
of the Columbia
Basin Irrigation
Project. Moses
Lake was also
chosen at this
time to be the
location for an air
force base by the
U.S. Government.
As a response to
the increased
demand for additional housing (due to a population increase by 700 percent in under 10 years),
temporary housing units were constructed across the area. Beginning with small trailers and
barracks-style buildings, the Housing Authority of Moses Lake began construction for temporary
Aerial Photo of Victory Village,
Moses Lake c. 1945
Moses Lake Council Packet 5-10-22, Page 24 of 105
housing in 1943. This temporary housing came to be known as Victory Village, consisting of 42
buildings (172 units) along the lakes shore, behind the city’s high school.
In 1970, the last of the houses were cleared away and the City turned the land into public use.
Today it is known as McCosh Park and continues to be a focal point of the community (as the
location for Spring Fest, farmers market, and 4th of July fireworks), which we believe makes it the
ideal spot for a marker. We would like to erect several basalt columns along with a bronze plaque
paying tribute to the people who migrated to the area and stayed, bringing families who have
grown here for generations.
The chapter has designated a small portion of their budget to cover the costs and will continue to
hold fundraisers to attain their goal. In working with Moses Lake Parks, Recreation & Cultural
Services, they will be able to grow their vision and their timeline would be to have the dedication
during the 2023 Spring Fest celebration.

Moses Lake Council Packet 5-10-22, Page 26 of 105
Ms. Boyd presented a memo to the Board to change the name of the Community Gallery in honor of long-
time museum employee, Ramon Cerna. Board discussion about official naming guidelines for facilities, which Ms. Schwiesow advised there are some criteria particularly related to parks and structures, but no official city procedure or policy. Mr. White moved to recommend the Community Gallery name change with the recommendation to develop a procedure to address the naming of a facility. Mr. Perry seconded
the motion. Board unanimously approved and passed. Ms. Boyd will develop the letter of recommendation
to present to City Council. Recreation Update Ms. Hoiness provided a recreation update for the Board, highlighting a few things the recreation
department and staff are working on. The mobile recreation program is moving forward, including vehicle
design, outfitting with equipment, partnering with the school district to provide free lunch at some locations, and hiring staff. Ms. Hoiness shared that spring soccer programs are winding down and maintenance of ballfields is a
continual focus for staff. She also advised that staff are gearing up for the waterpark to open this summer.
Spring break lifeguard class recently happened, which resulted in quite a few new guards for the waterpark. Ms. Hoiness shared that registration for t-ball is open and the department is expecting high numbers for
that program. Coming up this week are a few special events, including the Flashlight Egg Hunt for high
school age participants, egg hunt for small children at McCosh Park, the Youth Day Parade kicking off the youth baseball and softball seasons, and annual boat races at Cascade Park. Ms. Hoiness shared that the operational plans for Larson Recreation Center are underway and the plans
for the mobile food truck pod are also moving forward. The food truck pod will be across the street from
City Hall on the other side of the parking lot. Parks Update Mr. Aukett provided a maintenance update for the Board. A few staffing updates including, seasonal
mowers have been brought on, and a new full-time Parks Maintenance Worker, Ryan Smith has joined
the maintenance crew. Mr. Aukett shared that the brush chipper program is coming to a close this week, which went well. Mr. Aukett shared that work on irrigation lines continues, opening those up for spring and summer
functionality. Mr. Aukett shared that this time of year, the crews are very focused on the waterpark as it is scheduled to open soon. Also, the clock in roundabout next to Sinkiuse Square was installed successfully. Mr. Aukett shared that tournament games and practices are underway at all ballfields. He also shared that
Kvamme has been re-seeded to make the grass at that complex much healthier. Mr. Aukett advised that robotic line-painter machine was demoed recently, which would save a lot of time painting lines for fields if we were able to acquire it.
Moses Lake Council Packet 5-10-22, Page 27 of 105
Board discussion around standard weed maintenance at city facilities and whether there is coordination
on shoreline weeds. Mr. Aukett advised that weed spraying on city property has been a challenge this year with the cold and wet weather and that the parks department is in regular communication with Moses Lake Irrigation District for shoreline, although the weed control in the lake is different.
Director’s Report
1. Historical Marker Proposal – Stephanie Massart, Karneesta Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution presented to the board the organization’s desire to place a historical marker/monument for Victory Village, established in 1943 when the growth of Moses Lake boomed with the addition of the Larson Airforce Base. Ms. Massart shared that they would
like to partner with the City of Moses Lake to get this monument put in potentially Spring 2023.
Ms. Massart is asking for support from the Board to pursue this project. Mr. Tracey moved to approve the writing of a letter of support for this project to move onto City Council for consideration. Motion seconded by Mr. Perry. Motion unanimously approved and passed. 2. Parks, Recreation & Open Space Plan – Ms. Schwiesow shared the approval of the plan by RCO.
Ms. Schwiesow shared her appreciation for the Board’s participation in the process.
3. Skate Park Dedication – Ms. Schwiesow shared that Board members will all receive an invitation to the Skate Park’s dedication scheduled for May 4, 2022, at 12:30pm. Updates were donated by Moses Lake Rotary. 4. Dick Deane Family Historical Park Dedication – Ms. Schwiesow shared that this year we will be
dedicating the Dick Deane Shelter, so more to come on that. Ms. Schwiesow shared it will likely
be held on a Saturday. 5. Playgrounds – Ms. Schwiesow shared that playground at both Cascade Park and Lakeview Park will be replaced this year and quotes have been received to review and choose an option to reorder.
6. LRC – Ms. Schwiesow echoed Ms. Hoiness regarding operational elements of Larson Recreation
Center. The building is coming along, and it feels “real” as we get closer to occupancy in October. 7. Lauzier Field Overhaul – Ms. Schwiesow shared that Northwest Turf Solutions, Inc. has started on redoing fields 4 and 5 at Lauzier Athletic Complex. She also shared that Larson fields will be
redone in 2023.
Commission Questions/Comments Mr. Perry asked about housing developments in Moses Lake and whether parks in surrounding areas will be developed. Ms. Schwiesow said that it depends on whether we get land or fee in lieu of land by
developers. Mr. Perry mentioned that graffiti in parks is prominent in the community and wonders what the department does to address this. Ms. Schwiesow and Mr. Aukett both advised that this year has been problematic in regards to vandalism and graffiti in our parks.
Adjournment Mr. Perry moved to adjourn, seconded by Mr. Tracey. The meeting adjourned at 6:56pm.

Director of Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services
Moses Lake, WA
Ms. Schwiesow,
My name is Stephanie Massart and I’m the current Regent for the local NSDAR Chapter. We are a local
nonprofit whose mission includes historical preservation. Thank you for taking the time to meet with me
recently. It is my hope to partner with the city in order to establish a historical/memorial marker for
Victory Village.
As part of the Public Works Administration, in 1943 thousands of workers came to the area be apart of
the Columbia Basin Irrigation Project. Moses Lake was also chosen at this time to be the location for an
air force base by the U.S. Government. As a response to the increased demand for additional housing
(due to a population increase by 700 percent in under 10 years), temporary housing units were
constructed across the area. Beginning with small trailers and barracks-style buildings, the Housing
Authority of Moses Lake began construction for temporary housing in 1943. This temporary housing
came to be known as Victory Village, consisting of 42 buildings (172 units) along the lakes shore, behind
the city’s high school.
In 1970 the last of the houses were cleared away and the city turned the land into public use. Today it is
known as McCosh Park and continues to be a focal point of the community (as the location for Spring
Fest, farmers market, and 4th of July fireworks), which we believe makes it the ideal spot for a marker.
We would like to erect several basalt columns along with a bronze plaque paying tribute to the people
who migrated to the area and stayed, bringing families who have grown here for generations.
The Downtown Moses Lake Business Association along with the City Council have created the
Revitalization Committee. This marker would be a small part of their larger vision of strengthening
community connection and bridging community activities with the development of a winding trail
through much of the area. This centralized location allows for many to enjoy the marker as they partake
the advantages the city has to offer.
Our chapter, at this time, has designated a small portion of our budget to cover these costs ($1,000.00)
and will continue to hold fundraisers to attain our goal. We hope in partnership with the city and
specifically the Parks and Rec Department, that we will be able to grow our vision. Our timeline would
be to have the dedication during Spring Fest 2023. Leading up to that time, our chapter will be
purchasing the supplies from local companies, as available. With the Parks and Recs assistance, our costs
Moses Lake Council Packet 5-10-22, Page 30 of 105
would be directed at the marker ($1,500.00-$2,500.00) specifically rather than installation ($1,600.00 -
$3,600.00).
Moses Lake has not yet reached the centennial of its incorporation, but that does not detract from its
historical significance. As stated above, Moses Lake has a rich history, but has yet to be placed on the
historical registry, or to identify historical sites integral to its development. This would rectify that and
pave the way for future partnerships and markers.
Thank you for your time and review of this proposal. Please feel free to contact me via email:
sjmassart@gmail.com or by phone 509-750-6321. I would be happy to answer any questions.
Yours in Partnership,
Stephanie Massart

Overview
The City of Moses Lake Museum & Art Center is seeking permission to name the Community
Gallery in honor of long-time Museum employee Ramon Cerna. Mr. Cerna worked for the
Museum first as a volunteer and then as
an employee in a part-time capacity as
exhibit designer and exhibit installer for
30 years. He resigned from the position
last year to focus on retirement and his
own projects. His talent at hanging
attractive engaging art shows that varied
from cut paper to sculpture made us look
exceptional for many years. His
professionalism and calm, assured
presence in the Museum gave us the confidence to book shows that had a high degree of
difficulty. Ramon also helped design exhibits and props for the Museum, frequently going
above and beyond his role as installer. He trained other staff to hang art shows with
confidence.
His support for the Museum is long-standing. In 1989 he was an integral part of the group
that campaigned to save the Museum when it was in danger of closing due to budget cuts.
His work was instrumental in helping the Museum grow from its store front locations to the
world-class facility we inhabit today. Ramon would never ask for recognition for himself,
one of the many qualities that makes him the ideal person for this honor.
If approved, the Community Gallery would, after a naming ceremony this summer, be known as
the Ramon Cerna Community Gallery.

CITY OF MOSES LAKE INDUSTRIAL WASTE DISCHARGE PERMIT NO. 22 Ten Pin Brewing, LLC 1149 N. Stratford Road Moses Lake, Washington 98837
Effective Date: 06/01/2022 Expiration Date: 06/01/2027 INTRODUCTION This wastewater discharge permit is issued by the City of Moses Lake (City) to Ten Pin Brewing, LLC (Permittee). This permit
authorizes the Permittee to discharge Process Wastewater from the facility at 1149 N Stratford Road to the City’s Dunes POTW in accordance with the conditions of this permit. The permit becomes effective as of the date signed. 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.
Moses Lake Council Packet 5-10-22, Page 43 of 105
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.

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.
Moses Lake Council Packet 5-10-22, Page 44 of 105

STAFF REPORT
To: Allison Williams, City Manager
From: Kirsten Sackett, Community Development Director
Date: May 4, 2022
Proceeding Type: Old Business
Subject: Homeless Housing Program Feasibility Study Contract
Legislative History: Financial Impact:
• First Presentation: May 10, 2022 Budgeted Amount: $50,000
• Second Presentation: Unbudgeted Amount: $12,215
• Action: Motion Total Cost: $62,215
Overview
At the February 8, 2022, City Council meeting it was announced that the Ad Hoc Homeless
Committee recommended to move forward with the feasibility study to have a plan eligible for
funding and determine options for the location of a permanent sleep center. Council commented
on the timeliness to establish a new site before the lease expires at the temporary location on
September 30, 2023, to avoid any disruption of services. A motion to move forward with the Sleep
Center relocation without a feasibility study failed. Another motion was then put forth to move
forward with a feasibility study focusing on the Sleep Center relocation, which passed.
A request for proposal was advertised to identify the best location for the Sleep Center’s
permanent location and the financial feasibility of operating it as an overnight or a 24/7 shelter, as
well as looking into if partnering with community service providers in a central location would be
an efficient way to address the needs of people experiencing homelessness and at-risk of
homelessness. Deliverables identified in the RFP included market, site, operational, and financial
analyses, and stakeholder interviews.
ECONorthwest responded with a thorough proposal showcasing their understanding of what the
City is trying to achieve by conducting this feasibility study. They are experienced in reviewing
projects from an economic perspective and have worked with multiple communities in Eastern
Washington. The team identified for this project has worked on Housing Action Plans, Housing
Needs Assessments, and homeless service analyses for other cities and counties in Washington.
Staff not only reviewed the proposal for completeness but also contacted listed references. Bob
Harrison, the City of Yakima City Manager, stated ‘It has been terrific working with ECONorthwest.
They are currently doing a parking analysis for the city. The City of Yakima has used ECONorthwest
for multiple projects and have used them as one of the primary consultants for economic analyses
Moses Lake Council Packet 5-10-22, Page 50 of 105
of proposed projects. ECONorthwest understands the importance focusing on needs specific to
the entity they are working with and are open to recommendations from staff. They are easy to
work with and are skilled with business analyses that focus on economics. Bill Vetter, a Senior
Legislative Analyst for the Pierce County Council, told staff that ECONorthwest is “excellent to work
with. They have a professional team with focused expertise in a range of specialties. They also are
able to find expertise outside of their organization to complement their work. The consultants I
worked with were on-task, diligent, very well versed in the subject, and drove the project at the
appropriate level. They were able to work with people at all levels of our organization.”
Based on the proposal and excellent references, the Ad Hoc Homeless Committee moved forward
with an interview of the project team. The Committee interviewed the ECONorthwest project
team and was impressed with the thoroughness of responses and professionalism displayed. Most
importantly, the Ad Hoc Committee felt that ECONorthwest will be able to objectively complete a
feasibility study to identify needs specific to Moses Lake and its Homeless Housing Program. The
Ad Hoc Committee is interested in the project team coming here during the analysis and meeting
them during the process. In addition, the City is eager to get the market information based on the
2020 census as staff believe this will augment our overall analysis for the Comprehensive Plan
numbers, which primarily includes data through 2018. Additionally, the market analysis could help
attract additional affordable housing developers so the City can identify ways to balance needs of
developers and households in need of housing at all income levels.
Fiscal and Policy Implications
HB 1220, passed in 2021, focused on updates to the Housing element of cities planning under the
GMA (RCW 36.70A.070 (2)) as well as zoning regulations regarding indoor shelters and housing for
those experiencing homelessness and at-risk of homelessness. Updates to the Housing element
include “inventory and analysis of current and projected housing need that identifies the number
of housing units necessary to manage projected growth” for moderate, low, very low, and
extremely low-income households; permanent supportive housing, emergency housing and
emergency shelters. While the Moses Lake Comprehensive Plan adopted in November 2021
included an analysis of projected housing needs by income, analysis of permanent supportive
housing, emergency housing, and emergency shelters was not included as it was not required at
the time. The proposed feasibility study by ECONorthwest will not only identify the relocation of
the Sleep Center and the financial feasibility of providing different levels of services, it will also
allow the City to be in compliance with Washington State law.
Additionally, the Sleep Center must be relocated because the current property’s lease expires in
September of 2023 and without shelter available, MLPD cannot enforce no-camping on City owned
public property. The City has already allocated $50,000 of ARPA funding for the feasibility of the
Homeless Housing Program with a focus on the Sleep Center relocation. The additionally $12,215
is required for the in-depth market analysis needed to identify stakeholder input and project
feasibility not only for current conditions, but the future as well.

N/A
Options
Option Results
• Authorize as presented The City Manager will negotiate contract with
ECONorthwest to conduct a feasibility study on
Sleep Center relocation including market, site,
financial, and operational analyses.
• Provide staff with changes This could lead to a delay in finding a location to
move the Sleep Center which could affect the
ability of MLPD to enforce no-camping and cause
the City to possibly be out of compliance with
GMA.
• Take no action. The Sleep Center may not be relocated and close
causing an increase in camping on City owned
public property and lead to the City’s knowingly
noncompliance with HB 1220.
Action Requested
Staff request a motion to authorize the City Manager to negotiate a contract with ECONorthwest
based on the proposal for $62,215.

April 19, 2022 Cover Letter
Dear Cari Cortez and members of the selection committee,
We are excited to submit a proposal to the City of Moses Lake for a Feasibility Study of the
Moses Lake Homeless Housing Program (contract # 2022.110.03). A permanent location for
Project Open Doors and other homelessness resources will benefit not only the populations
served, but the City and region.
This project requires a combination of deep analytical skills, policy expertise, and
compassion. Our team is well-positioned to provide the City with the rigorous and sensitive
analysis that the City of Moses Lake needs to develop a solution to this critical problem.
Our expertise with housing affordability trends and policies includes 27 housing needs
assessments and housing action plans for jurisdictions across Washington state. We are
currently conducting a statewide analysis of operations, maintenance, and supportive
service costs related to permanent supportive housing (PSH) in support of the State
Department of Commerce’s efforts to identify appropriate levels of PSH investment. We
recently concluded a homeless services gap analysis for Pierce County, which has one of
the most acute homelessness crises in the country. We have a thorough understanding
of the State policy context, the long-term trends contributing to homelessness, and the
analytical tools necessary to develop solutions and recommendations.
We applaud the City of Moses Lake for its commitment to preventing and ending
homelessness, and more importantly for the substantial resource allocation and
coordination efforts undertaken over the past several years. It would be an honor to be a
part of this mission.
We hope to have the chance to assist your team on this foundational project. Thank you
again for this opportunity.
Sincerely,
Sarah Emmans

Study of Permanent Supportive Housing Operation and Service
Costs and Technical Assistance—Washington State Department
of Commerce (2021-Ongoing)
In partnership with the Corporation for Support Housing, ECONorthwest is
conducting an analysis of operations, maintenance, and supportive services
(OMS) costs for projects in the Housing Trust Fund portfolio (HTF). As part
of this study, ECONorthwest is collecting and analyzing OMS data from HTF
and other public funders to determine the pipeline of Permanent Supportive
Housing (PSH) projects that may be produced in the next five years and assist
in formulating policies to help to leverage HTF funds to support the production
and operations of more PSH units. This information will help The Department
of Commerce determine the appropriate levels of operating assistance needed
to adequately maintain PSH projects and provide standardized levels of
assistance on projects throughout Washington based on the range and acuity
of populations needing PSH.
Pierce County Homeless Services Gap Analysis—Pierce County,
WA (2021-2022)

Washington State Housing Action Plans and Housing Needs
Assessments
Cities and counties planning under Washington’s GMA must include a Housing Element in their comprehensive plans, including goals to promote a variety of residential densities and housing types and affordable housing for all economic segments of the population. The Washington State Department of Commerce implemented a grant program to assist local jurisdictions in developing policies and programs to further housing production and encourage a broader range of housing types. Eligible activities include developing housing action plans, environmental review, subarea planning, and code changes. ECONorthwest has been instrumental in assisting jurisdictions in Washington State develop Housing Action Plans to inform their Housing Element updates. Washington’s Housing Action Plans include a review of existing policies/plans, public engagement, housing needs identification, and a housing policy assessment and strategy framework. We have worked with over 27 WA jurisdictions on housing policy/needs/buildable lands analysis or on their housing action plans.

Joint Office of Homeless Services Technical Assistance Roster—
Portland, OR (Forthcoming)
ECONorthwest was selected to join the roster of firms providing technical
assistance to the Portland-Multnomah County Joint Office of Homeless Services
as it seeks to implement a historic infusion of funding to provide supportive
housing services. Technical assistance would serve Multnomah, Washington
and Clackamas Counties as they expand homelessness services and monitor
progress related to the Metro Supportive Housing Services Tax Measure that
was passed in May 2020. ECONorthwest’s work has not been conducted yet; it
would likely focus on program evaluation and data analysis.
Homelessness in Portland—Oregon Community Foundation
(2019)
ECONorthwest produced two research studies examining the economic
causes and trends of homelessness, and recommending policy solutions.
Commissioned by the Oregon Community Foundation, the first study detailed
homelessness in the Portland region. The second study offered a statewide
look at the issue. The reports synthesize existing economic research and data
to paint a picture of homelessness in Oregon compared to other high-cost
housing markets and temperate climates. These reports provide a rational,
economic foundation for policy discussions and recommendations to one of the
most emotionally charged issues facing our cities and communities today.

Tri-County Homelessness Services Measure Tax Analysis—
Portand Metro, OR (2020)
ECONorthwest provided data and analysis for Multnomah, Clackamas, and
Washington Counties evaluating the sources and uses of funds that could be
derived from a potential new regional tax measure. This analysis was two-fold:
to evaluate the potential uses of funds, we revisited two prior studies that
estimated the need for permanent supportive housing (PSH) in the tri-county
area, and repackaged the cost estimates to align with the populations served
and uses allowed by the funding measure. To evaluate the potential sources
of funds, we analyzed regional tax data to estimate the amounts that could
be raised by a personal income tax on high-earners, a corporate activities
tax, a value-added tax, and a business payroll tax. This analysis resulted in a
unanimous decision by the Metro Council to refer the tax measure to the May
2020 ballot.
Spokane Valley Housing Action Plan—Spokane Valley, WA
(2021)
The City of Spokane, like other communities in the Spokane- Coeur d’Alene
metropolitan area, has changed and grown over the years, leading to greater
demand for different housing types. To help understand the changing housing
issues, ECONorthwest completed a housing needs assessment for the City of
Spokane. This Housing Needs Assessment compared the City of Spokane with
Spokane County and the City of Spokane Valley to provide a more complete
picture of the county-wide housing landscape while also offering insights on
localized versus regional trends, and a more nuanced view of housing market
dynamics. This assessment also summarizes the existing housing inventory
and expected future housing demand up until 2037 (in alignment with the
planning horizon in their Comprehensive Plan). Housing analysis is an important
exercise since a community’s housing needs tend to continually evolve based
on changes in the broader economy, local demographics, and the regulatory
environment. These findings helped the City identify ways to bridge the gap
in housing needs more equitably and helped to shape the housing action
plan strategies included in the housing action plan. The Spokane City Council
adopted the Final Housing Action Plan by resolution on July 26, 2021.

Spokane Housing Action Plan—City of Spokane, WA
(2020-2021)
In partnership with MFA, ECONorthwest assisted the City of Spokane Valley
in developing a Housing Action Plan. ECONorthwest completed the housing
needs assessment which included findings from the analysis of population and
employment trends and projections, housing market trends using the best and
available data on housing prices, housing affordability and cost changes, and
other relevant data. Basically, this assessment provided key guidance on how
much and what types of housing it has within the city limits, what the projected
need is, and what gaps exist between what it has and what it needs. Findings of
the housing needs assessment were shared with the community and a survey
was conducted that allowed participants to share feedback on whether the
findings align with their experience living in Spokane Valley.
Finally, the team conducted a technical assessment to explore Spokane Valley’s
housing policies, programs, and city code to evaluate if its housing framework
is producing units as intended. Based on this analysis, the housing needs
assessment, and the public’s input, the team identified a range of potential
measures the city could take to ensure it is providing appropriate housing for
its residents. ECO helped analyze policy changes for development feasibility and
supported the development of the final implementation plan and monitoring
strategy.
On June 1, 2021, the Spokane Valley City Council adopted the HAP. The plan
included actions to bridge the gap in housing needs more equitably and follow
a data-driven, community-informed approach.

Small Starts Economic Development Effects criteria. Under the FTA Small Starts
process, Economic Development Effects are defined as the extent to which a
proposed project is likely to induce additional, transit-supportive development
in the future. This an important factor in selection of transit capital projects

PROJECT MANAGEMENT With a bench of 60+ staff spread across six offices handling anywhere from 100-200 active projects across the country at a given time, ECONorthwest has developed strong project management protocols that prioritize clear communication, efficiency, clean organization, and daily tracking systems. We routinely work with local governments and understand the specific demands that accompany publicly funded projects that have lean budgets and strict timelines.
Managing Changes That Arise During a Project
With any project, there are dynamics at play that often result in changes that can affect a project. Sometimes agencies go through changes in leadership, or project staff may depart mid-stream. Sometimes stakeholder involvement results in additional “cooks in the kitchen,” or the project touches on issues that are more controversial than anticipated. Pivoting successfully in the face of such change is a skill acquired through years of experience and past projects that challenge the project manager to think creatively. Our staff has amassed such experience through our 3,000+ projects that help answer difficult economic questions for a diverse set of clients. And while such changes are unexpected by nature, we understand that clear communication, adaptability, and flexibility are the key factors in responding successfully to change.

PROJECT APPROACH
PROJECT APPROACH
With Resolution No. 3764 of 2019, the City of Moses Lake established the authority to operate its own
homeless shelter program. The City moved with remarkable agility to utilize emergency funding, engage
a partner, identify a temporary site, and even change commercial zoning code to operationalize the Open
Doors Sleep Center in August 2020. With the lease expiring for the current location, the City now must
identify the best location and operations model for the shelter. Bigger picture, the City must also decide how
the shelter integrates with an overall response to homelessness: how to braid funding and resources, how to
coordinate resources and partners, and how to connect the shelter’s population with the short, medium, and
long-term solutions that will end their individual homelessness crises.
There are many unknowns regarding the City’s homeless population and their needs. As of 2020, according to
the annual Point in Time Count (PIT), Grant County had 180 sheltered and unsheltered homeless individuals.
The March 2022 count of the same population had declined to 132. However, PIT counts undercount the total
number of individuals experiencing homelessness in a given year, and from a solution standpoint – especially
for a city the size of Moses Lake – the scope of the homelessness problem has more to do with the nature
and needs of the population than its overall volume.
Our approach will help the City develop a nimble set of site and programmatic options that will serve the
community and capitalize on available resources. We will begin our project with research to understand the
population as well as we can, and identify at least three sites for further analysis. This analysis will entail an
operations plan, a development analysis, and an analysis of funding options. Our project team includes a
planner, a development pro forma expert, an economic analyst, a fiscal analyst, and an expert advisor who
led the growth of Portland-based Center City Concern from a single alcohol treatment center into a large
nonprofit serving an annual population of around 14,000 people battling homelessness, addiction, and other
challenges.
The following scope of work provides an outline for how to approach this project, which we expect to
refine based on discussion and feedback in collaboration with City staff. The following elements of the work
program are organized by the requested specifics as part of this RFP. Core aspects of our approach and
project tasks are described below. To stay within the amount of federal funds that the City has budgeted
for this effort, we propose to scale the Market Overview, Industry Trends, and Comparable Venues task
(identified in the RFP as Task 1) into a data and literature review. If the City would like to prioritize a full
market assessment, we propose an optional Task 2a below that could take the place of Task 2.
We anticipate completing all project work by October 30, 2022, following the Notice to Proceed.

TASK 1
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Deliverables: kickoff meeting, final work plan, data request.
While scope refinement may be needed prior to executing a contract, the kickoff meeting will provide
an opportunity to ensure that the team is in alignment with staff on schedule, project priorities, and final
deliverables.
At this meeting, we will discuss the project goals and research questions, review and refine the data methods
and analysis approach, and identify available and needed resources, datasets, and the range of partners
involved. In addition, we will work to establish a process and approach to guide the project work and make
decisions with City-identified leadership members. This step helps to ensure that the City receives the
support and analysis needed to adequately answer the key questions driving this project.
Staff Team Meetings: We anticipate a need for our team to meet regularly with City staff during the project
to strategize, seek input, review draft deliverables, coordinate engagement activities (if included), and provide
regular project updates. We anticipate these meetings occurring monthly.
TASK 2
DEMOGRAPHIC AND MARKET BACKGROUND
Deliverable: technical memo.
To ensure that future tasks have a rigorous analytical foundation, we will conduct a thorough literature review
of the data and trends that are leading predictors of homelessness. Grant County and the City of Moses Lake
have identified several indicators of homelessness, including rising rental costs, low vacancy rates, and a lack
of community resources. These are several of the dozens of housing-related and behavioral factors influencing
homelessness. Building on our own and other research and publicly-available data, we will analyze the nature of
the homeless problem in Moses Lake. The goal of this task is to inform Tasks 3 and 4 below.
TASK 3
PROJECT APPROACH
TASK 2A (OPTIONAL): FULL MARKET ANALYSIS
Deliverable: technical memo; up to two focus groups and two interviews.
Efforts to identify a site and conduct a feasibility study (Tasks 3 and 4 below) would be more robust with
a full market analysis to better understand the current and emerging needs in Moses Lake. A full market
analysis would entail a demographic and socioeconomic profile of Moses Lake, with a particular focus on
housing affordability. To this end, we propose to build upon information provided in the 2021 Moses Lake
Housing Action Plan. The demographic analysis would examine topics such as population growth, age
trends, household size, and income. The market analysis would examine existing housing characteristics
and development trends to gauge current and future demand, including a cost-burdened household
analysis. The housing analysis would rely not only on publicly available data but on current market sources
such as CoStar to analyze rent trends in the area and Redfin to understand home sale prices.
This task would also entail a focus group with stakeholders and resource providers to ensure a full
understanding of behavioral and situational trends that might be influencing homelessness, as well as the
existing network of homeless resources.

TASK 2
SITE ANALYSIS
Deliverable: two interviews, staff presentation.
As part of this task, we will catalog the homeless response resources and partners available in Grant County
and Moses Lake, such as healthcare providers, behavioral health resources, housing resources, and other
stakeholders of the Moses Lake Homeless Housing Programs. We will conduct interviews with program staff
to ensure we understand the context for siting decisions. This task will entail a qualitative analysis of the
opportunities and constraints for a potential site and up to three alternatives.
TASK 4
FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS
Deliverable: memo, meeting with staff to present scenarios.
This task will have three components: the operational analysis, the development analysis, and the financial
analysis. The goal with this task will be to present the City with a suite of options for investment.
Operational analysis: we will produce several scenarios for operations, ranging from a relatively slim option,
such as an overnight-only shelter, to a more robust option such as a 24-hour shelter offering wraparound
services. We will evaluate these for costs and other considerations.
Development analysis: we will develop and revise assumptions to help decision-makers understand the
potential range of necessary capital costs related to each operational scenario.
Financial analysis: we will present a high-level capital and operating cost projection over a 10-year horizon.
We will work with City staff to catalog existing funding options as well as understand state, federal, and
private opportunities.
TASK 5
FINAL REPORT
Deliverable: draft report, presentation, final report.
With this task, we will consolidate all analyses and findings into a concise, visually pleasing, accessible report.
The report will offer up to three scenario recommendations based primarily on Task 4 work. We will present
findings and scenarios to City Council. The report and briefing materials will be provided to City staff in a
timeline that allows for feedback and edits.

OHSU, CareOregon and Adventist Health in the launching of
the Health is Housing initiative, which resulted in a $21.5
million donation. This leveraged another$60 million in

Moses Lake, WA
Ms. Williams:
My name is Stephanie Massart and I’m the current Regent for the local NSDAR Chapter. Thank you for
taking the time to speak with me over the phone the other week. It is my hope to partner with the City
of Moses Lake along with Big Bend Community College and the Moses Lake School Board in order to
foster a closer relationship with the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation.
This September (2022) marks the 150th anniversary of the creation of the original Colville Indian
Reservation, comprising of 12 bands or tribes of indigenous native people located in the Washington
Territory. This included the Moses-Columbia tribe of the Columbia Basin, whose terrain expanded north
and west of the Columbia River (stretching from Potholes to Ritzville). The confederation was
established to make way for settler’s looking for land to work on and invest in for their future. This lake
and its surrounding area have been a focal point and integral part of living for both indigenous people
and colonizers.
Part of NSDAR’s mission is historical preservation and education. With that in mind, we would like to
organize a Land Recognition Ceremony. Our approach to this is:
Responsibility (through acknowledging traditional stewards of the land),
Reciprocity (building a process for acting in solidarity with Native Americans),
Respect (understanding historical trauma) and
Relationships (building authentic relationships between the Native American tribes and the
community).
With the City Council’s backing we will approach the Colville Tribal Council as a means of building an on
going relationship. Until then, plans have been kept minimal at this point.
This acknowledgement ceremony has not yet been attempted in our area. Last year the city held the
unveiling of banners around Sinkiuse Square. This was met with success and enthusiasm from both the
community and the Confederated Tribes of Colville. Land Acknowledgement has been growing for years
with many organizations participating in the movement such as WA State Health Care Authority (2019),
UW (2020), WSU (2021), Washington Trails Association (2021), the North Olympic Library System (2022),
and including King County and the City of Tacoma. We have benefited from the peoples who once lived
here, and can continue to with the knowledge and assistance of their descendants.
Through our partnership with the city and other entities, we hope to be able to have funds in order to
hold a large community function that celebrates the resources of the land and attempts to preserve the
culture of the people who were the first stewards of the land. Costs would go towards the placement of
Moses Lake Council Packet 5-10-22, Page 99 of 105
a commemorative piece in recognition of the event and its significance to the community. From our
discussion I understand there is numerous funds set aside, and grants available in order to form a
working budget. We would like to be able to present an appropriate gift to the Confederated Tribes of
Colville. In addition, we would like to work with them to incorporate future education and instruction by
the tribe in regards to the land, its maintenance and importance to the first people.
This area is unique and beautiful and the people who once thrived here have inspired our community in
many ways, carving out a unique identity to those who call it home. Many have come to seek refuge
from the heat of the sun in the cool waters. It is a place of relaxation and fun. We want to continue to
encourage that by allowing access to all people, and especially those with a connection to it.
Thank you for your time and review of this proposal. Please feel free to contact me via email at:
sjmassart@gmail.com or by phone 509-750-6321. I would be happy to answer any questions.
Yours in Partnership,
