Overview
On June 11, 2021, CAD Homes, LLC submitted a request for approval of a Preliminary Major Subdivision, CAD Homes Knolls Vista Major Plat (Attachment C). The Preliminary Major Subdivision is a 27-lot residential subdivision in the R1-Single Family Residential zone. On January 24, 2021, the Hearing Examiner issued an Order of Continuance regarding a request by the proponent on January 24, 2021, for the January 26, 2021 scheduled hearing in order to resolve recommended Conditions of Approval and compliance with adopted MLMC and Comprehensive Plan. Specifically, to address the requirement for vehicle and pedestrian connectivity. On June 10, 2022, the applicant provided a revised preliminary plat which also included a requested for a deviation (Attachment B).
On July 12, 2022, the Hearings Examiner reviewed the revised application for the CAD Homes Knolls Vista Preliminary
Major Subdivision with a request for Waivers, Deferrals, and Deviations (Attachments A and B) in accordance with
Section 17.33.010 of the Moses Lake Municipal Code (MLMC). The Hearing Examiner issued a recommendation to the
City Council to approve or deny the requested Waivers, Deferrals, and Deviations.

Fiscal and Policy Implications
Approve, Authorize, or Adopt:
Provide Amended Direction:
Pursuant to 17.33.010 Waivers, Deferrals, and Deviations, “Where, because of the size of the tract to be
subdivided, its topography, the condition or nature of adjoining areas, or the existing or unusual physical
conditions, the strict compliance with the provisions of this title would cause an unusual and unnecessary
hardship on the subdivider, the designated approving body may waive, defer, or deviate from the
requirements set forth in this title.” The Hearing Examiner found that because of the size of the tract to be
subdivided, the condition or nature of adjoining areas, or the existing or unusual physical conditions, the
strict compliance with the provisions of this title would cause an unusual and unnecessary hardship on the
subdivider. As such, the Hearing Examiner thereby recommended granting a waiver and/or deviation from
the requirements set forth in MLMC 17.33 as articulated within the request (Attachment B).
In reviewing the criteria, City Staff also finds that the granting a waiver and/or deviation from the
requirements set forth in MLMC 17.33 is consistent with the following Comprehensive Goals and Policies
for infill development:
· Housing Element Goal 4.1 Provide a variety of housing types and densities to meet the needs of all
members of the community.
· Policy 4.1.7 Preserve the character, stability, and integrity of existing neighborhoods by designing infill
development to be compatible with surrounding residential densities, housing types, and other
characteristics. See related policies under Goal 3.3 in the Land Use Element.
· Land Use Element Goal 3.3 Maintain and enhance the health and vitality of residential neighborhoods.
· Goal 3.2 Balance the pace of development with the ability to provide public facilities and services.
· Policy 3.2.3 Incentivize infill development scaled and designed to fit the surroundings and revitalize
corridors.
On July 18, 2022, the Hearing Examiner rendered a recommendation that is now being forward to the City
Council for consideration tonight (Attachments A and B).
Pursuant to City of Moses Lake Code 20.09.030 The City Council shall make its decision by motion,
resolution, or ordinance as appropriate.
None
Options and Results
I move the Moses Lake City Council approve the July 18, 2022 Hearing Examiner Recommendation
regarding the CAD Homes Knolls Vista Preliminary Major Subdivision request for Waivers, Deferrals, and
Deviations on property identified under Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 110621000 and 110625001.
Staff will bring back options for recommended changes.
No Action Taken:
The requested Waivers, Deferrals, and Deviations will not proceed. The applicant may withdraw and re-
apply for subdivision without the benefits of the requested Waivers, Deferrals, and Deviations.

On February 16, 2022, the City of Moses Lake Community Development Department received an
application for a Planned Development District and Preliminary Major Subdivision No. PLN2022-0016.
According to the application materials, the project includes a proposal to subdivide Assessor Parcels
110002003 and 110475231, consisting of 23.2 acres, into lots for residential development. Generally, the
proposal includes a reduction of the adopted lot standards and road standards in order to construct up to
98 single family units and 120-unit apartment units within the northwest quadrant of the Maple Drive NE
and Grape Drive NE intersection in Moses Lake, WA. See Exhibits 1 and 2. The smaller lots to the east will
be single-family homes, and multi-family for the western complex.
The request requires approval of the Preliminary Major Subdivision by the Hearing Examiner, and a

Development District, with adoption of an ordinance by City Council.
On July 12, a public hearing was held before the Hearings Examiner to consider the associated

Council Procedures Review
City Manager Allison Williams reviewed the Council Procedures. They require that when Council members bring up future agenda items, there is a consensus of three members to add items to future agendas. An item discussed at the last meeting is related to a specific land use application and will come back to Council at a later date as it is in
process and the date suggested was not feasible based on where the application was in the process. She also identified that in the future, if there are items being pulled from the Consent Agenda for discussion, that those items be moved to regular business at the time of the Agenda Approval, and that way they can be discussed and voted on separately
rather than the current method which creates some confusion.
AWC Legislative Priorities Committee Update City Manager Allison Williams attended the AWC Legislative Priorities Committee meeting. The agenda is being developed for AWC’s purposes for the next legislative
session. Items are statewide issues with an emphasis on policing regulations,
infrastructure funding, affordable housing, clarification on the Blake decision and other

The play is made possible with support from the Grant County Conservation District, City of Moses Lake, Moses Lake Watershed Council, Cascade Marina, Columbia Basin Allied Arts (CBAA), and Moses
Lake Farmers Market. 2022 LTAC Event Update Council concurred to have 2022 LTAC recipients present their events at a future meeting.
Police Events
National Night Out will be held August 2, 2022, from 6-8 p.m. at McCosh Park. They won the Battle of Badge softball event with Grant County Sheriff’s Office that was well attended bringing in over $3k on raffles to go toward community outreach activities.
Skyline Drive Traffic Analysis
The analysis report from the traffic study was distributed to Council earlier in the day. City Engineer Richard Law reviewed details that would be needed to constitute thresholds for additional traffic controls (which have not been met based on the study). Similar results were received from recent analysis on Marina Drive. There are plans to
deploy the devices on Loop Drive next, as well as various other locations this fall.
Citywide Vandalism The City Manager reported on the uptick in vandalism and graffiti. There has been over $32,000 in damages in parks in the first six months of the year. Staff will purchase and
install security cameras in parks to assist in enforcement. To deal with these increased issues, police staff have been awarded a grant to fund a mental health professional in their office, they are patrolling as much as possible, and working with the County drug court. A request will be coming forward to develop a new outreach position to foster relations with the homeless population and the drug court/other community programs to assist in
the overall policing effort. COUNCIL COMMUNICATIONS AND REPORTS

Proceeding Type: Consent Agenda
Subject: Disbursement Report since July 26, 2022, Council Meeting
The following amounts were budgeted and sufficient funds were available to cover these payments:
Electronic Transfer 182 - 183 $ 1,344.04 Checks 157175 – 157326 $ 523,621.45 Payroll Checks 64539 - 64594 $ 32,417.35 Electronic Payments Direct Deposit 7/22/22 $ 559,236.12 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.

Communications Guide.docx 1.33MB
In past employee surveys from 2020 and 2021, employees asked for more communication. As a result, City
communications staff increased efforts both internally and externally to ensure employees are informed about
issues pertaining to the City, their workplace, and City initiatives.
With so much communications work taking place, it is vital we formalize processes and have a reference tool in
place for new and existing employees.
Style guidelines and expectations when posting to the City's website and social media pages, or answering a
media inquiry, are just a few of the items covered in the Employee Communications Guide.
Rules guiding the use of the City's trademarked logo and permissions required to use content from outside
sources are detailed.
The guide covers the City's media response and how all employees and the City Council are to respond to
ensure the City has a coordinated response and message when the media calls. Better coordination helps the
City tell its story more fully, fact check, gather appropriate artwork (photos, maps, graphics, video) and reserve
advertising when needed. Scheduling advertising is not immediate and can take days, depending on the
publication.

Introduction
he City of Moses Lake has several departments and a large amount of
information to share with the public. You may wonder how you fit into the
big picture. The Employee Communications Guide was created as a handy
reference for directors and front line staff. The goal of the Guide is to ensure all
departments are consistent with formatting and style as they create a brochure, write an
article, or post to the City website and social media pages. Impressions matter and we want
to make the best one possible. Cities across the nation have similar guides. Even if you
aren’t directly involved with creating or posting content, we recommend you review this
guide for other helpful information, such as news media routing procedures, in case you
are contacted by a reporter. It’s always good to be prepared.
For Directors/Managers who wish to share a single message or a full‐blown public
information campaign, examples of press releases are included within this guide as well as
templates for road work and drone flight public notices. If you are tasked with writing
portions of a press release, look at the examples provided and think through the details. If
those details have not been established, it is your responsibility to do so, inform the
responsible employees, and explain to the public the reasons why. More planning up front
helps reduce follow‐up contact from the media and the public. Having an agreed‐upon
message as soon as possible is critical.
For Employees responsible for website posting, the City’s expectation is that you
use the Writing Style Guide and follow formatting when writing and posting content to the
City’s website and social media pages. The Guide is a reference tool. We recommend you
review the Guide and know where to find key information when you need it. Please, feel
free to take notes and highlight what’s useful. You can always print another copy!
During a crisis or surprise situation, the public information officer has a planning
tool available called a Message Matrix to talk through what the City can share at that
point in time and in the future. The Message Matrix was provided this year by the
City’s insurance carrier, Washington Cities Insurance Authority, during staff training.
Public messaging takes time, preparation, and pulling the right people together quickly.
Fortunately, the City has the staff and tools available to get ahead of the curve and tell
the City’s story.
The City also has a Continuity of Operations Plan in place to guide response during a
wide‐scale emergency.
The Guide is built to provide guidance and address common errors seen in City
written materials. The goal of the Guide is to provide the tools to create a consistent,
professional presentation in all City communication.

Copyrights
• Copyrights on all City publications, including e‐newsletters, should be “City of Moses
Lake.” This ensures legal protection that may not cover departments or divisions. The
City requires use of its own graphics and images unless purchased from a legitimate
vendor. Permission to use non‐City copywritten photos or graphics from outside
sources must be obtained in writing. For purposes of copyrighted material, assume
that any photos not generated or purchased by the City are copyrighted by a third

• Spell out millions, billions, etc. ($10 million)
• Use full numerical value for amounts in the thousands ($10,000)
• Use numerical figures for ages, percentages page numbers and sums of money (when

How the City PIO can help during media inquiries and to get the word out
Please contact the PIO when news media calls and route any media calls or emails to the PIO.
Never feel pressured to go on camera and or do a live radio interview. There is staff in place to
help coordinate and facilitate an organized media response.
The City PIO can offer support in media outreach and response, crisis communication, press
release writing, copy editing, photography / videography, and graphic design.
If you need help getting the word out, earlier is better. This helps ensure you get the best reach
for your message and there is adequate time to edit, fact check, create graphics and/or find or
shoot photos. Studies have shown more people will read your message when there is a photo,
graphic or video included.
Please set aside time for a project meeting with the PIO in advance of your communication
effort.
Background on your issue is appreciated too.
Media and public outreach for nonpolicy related work for City elected officials
The PIO is not permitted to help with nonpolicy related outreach for the Mayor and City Council
Members.
The PIO is not permitted to campaign for the City’s elected officials.

No Action Taken:
The Energy Savings Performance Contracting (ESPC) program was developed to provide a means to install
Energy Efficiency Measures (EEMs) in State facilities without effecting the State's capital budget. The ESPC
program within the Department of Enterprise Services has since been expanded to provide energy conservation
services to all public facilities in the State.
The DES Energy Program develops a pre-approved list of Energy Services Companies (ESCOs) providing
services to public facilities. ESCOs deemed to be qualified, through the vetting process, are offered a Master
Energy Services Agreement. This makes them eligible to participate in energy related projects at public facilities
managed by the DES Energy Program.
To participate in the program and work with one of the pre-approved ESCOs, the City of Moses Lake must enter
into an Interagency Agreement (IAA) with DES. The IAA is drafted pursuant to RCW Chapter 39.34. It allows the
DES Energy Program to provide overall contracting and project management services to the City of Moses
Lake. Compensation for DES's Energy Program services is based on a pre-determined fee schedule that sets
project management compensation levels based on the total project value. If the City proceeds with an EEM
project then they are obligated to pay DES based on the project management fee.
If the City of Moses Lake does not enter into an IAA with DES and chooses to have EEM projects done, they will
have to follow the competitive bidding process and use staff time to manage the project.
The long-term savings of Energy Efficient Measures (EEMs) and implementing them as cost effectively as
possible is a fiscal consideration.
Options and Results
Staff will execute agreement and participate in the ESPC program.
Staff will bring back options for recommended changes.
City of Moses Lake will not enter into an Interagency Agreement with Department of Enterprise Services to
participate in the ESPC program.

Wastewater Comp Plan Amendment No. 2.pdf 461.99KB
The main raw waste pumps, check valves, and electrical control panels at the COF are aging and are overdue
for replacement. The Wastewater Comprehensive Plan consultant is positioned well with all the needed
resources to complete this upgrade design efficiently and quickly as part of the comprehensive plan contract.
This will allow the City to bid this project out as soon as possible. A large portion of this design work involves
electrical engineering design for which the City does not have its own resources.
The already agreed upon contract for the Wastewater Comprehensive Plan is $136,000 including Amendment
Number 1. Amendment Number 2 would increase the contract price by an amount of $65,900. The new total
cost for the contract will be $201,900.
Options and Results
City staff will execute the Contract Amendment Number 2.
Staff will consider the options for recommended changes.
Staff will wait for further instructions.

2022 Signal Cabinet Replacement Final PE.pdf 111.19KB
Streets Division identified a need to replace the out of date controllers that operate our traffic signals
throughout town. The City previously purchased the control cabinets and hardware to upgrade these
intersections through the existing State Contract. This project will install the controllers and replace
any needed wiring to make fully functional signals at 10 locations in town. The project will also
upgrade all the pedestrian pushbuttons and pedestrian signal heads to the current ADA approved
equipment.
Staff opened a bids for the work on May 17, 2022. The City received three (3) bids for the project.
Northeast Electric, LLC submitted the low bid for the project in the amount of $435,000. The
Engineer’s Estimate was $535,000.
The work has been completed and the final cost of the work is $438,085.34. The increase is cost was
to add a battery backup system to the existing cabinet at the intersection of Nelson Road and Pioneer
Way. This completes the upgrades to all of our traffic signals in town and they are all equipped with
battery backups that will keep the intersections going during short term power interruptions.
After Council acceptance of the project, the City will enter into the 60-day lien period as required by
Washington State Law. The City will release the 5% retainage bond after the 60-day lien period is
complete.

Photo Enforcement Amnesty Program Extension

0.00$0.00$0.00$
Consider motion to authorize extension of the program.
Council approved the development of an amnesty program for redflex tickets due to the transition of
management of District Court. The initial period was between June 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021, the City of
Moses Lake offered violators an opportunity to pay a reduced fine (50%) to decrease the number of court
appearance requests that were backlogged during the court shutdown and transition. At the same time, each
violator signed a new Declaration form giving them the opportunity to check one of the three boxes, again with
the intent of reducing the number of court appearances. This reduction in fine amounts did not constitute a
gifting of public funds as it would be offered equally to every violator and would benefit the City by reducing the
backlog of citations while providing some revenue. Upon conferring with our photo enforcement vendor,
Redflex, we were advised that all that is required is to notify them of the reduced fine amount so that they can
make the adjustments. At the same time, the City offered waiving any late charges in hopes of getting violators
to pay their overdue fines. The goal of offering these incentives was to generate compliance.
The program was extended by Council for an additional period from November 30, 2021 to June 30, 2022 to
allow the County to address the change in ownership of Redflex by Verra Mobility. Verra Mobility was working
with AOC (Administrator of the Courts) on an interface in which photo enforcement citations would be
electronically transferred to the Court.
The negotiations between Verra Mobility and Grant County District Court continue with no forseeable end in
sight. We continue to receive requests for hearings and have amassed approximately 150 such requests. Staff
requests Council authorize another extension through the end of the year, December 31, 2022, and should an
agreement be made before that date we can rescind the extension.
Reduction in fine amounts.

Draft Resolution
Overview
The Food Truck and/or Mobile Food Vendor concept has been growing in popularity over the past decade. As the
City is in the process of opening a Food Vendor Food Court, we want to make the licensing requirements less
burdensome and more cost effective for business owners. In doing so, we would eliminate the required
background check for each owner/employee affiliated with the mobile and street food vendor license, currently
$110 per person. We would also eliminate the Initial Application fee of $155, creating a more appealing fee schedule, allowing vendors to purchase a license based on a quarterly time frame at $25 per quarter. With these changes made to food-based vendor licensing, we would also like to move forward with updating the required fees affiliated with non-food (Temporary Location) vendors. We are requesting to amend the application fee for non-food, temporary location vendors from $210 annually to $25 per quarter.
The insurance coverage for Mobile Food/Street Food Vendors and Temporary Locations will be increased to $2,000,000 to match the requirements set forth by Parks & Recreation in correlation with our up-and-coming food court. The ability to purchase these licenses based on a quarterly basis, as opposed to annual option, will
dramatically decrease the initial cost behind initiating temporary vending in this jurisdiction.
At the current rates, the cost of obtaining a mobile food license to operate for a full year, with two employees, is
$485; three (3) screening fees plus an application fee. The current cost for a Temporary Location vendor is $210.
The proposed changes would decrease the total for both license types to $100.00 for a full year of operation. The background check would no longer be required for mobile food vendors or their employees, allowing a faster turn-around time for issuing the business license. The new quarterly rate would also allow out of area vendors to conduct business in Moses Lake for one-time events at a more reasonable rate.Moses Lake Council Packet 8-9-22, Page 143 of 149
Fiscal and Policy Implications
This should not have a significant financial impact. By eliminating the screening requirements and reducing the
licensing fees, we hope to attract new business and increase the number of mobile and temporary vendors
operating within city limits therefore, offsetting the overall rate reduction for licensing fees.
Options and Results

Implement these changes upon the effective date of the ordinance and resolution.

To: City Manager Allison Williams
From: Police Chief Kevin Fuhr
Date: August 1, 2022
Reference: Jail Issues
Between 2015 and 2019 the City of Moses Lake witnessed crime rates decrease nearly 50%. Officers reported a clearance rate of over 40%, which is well above the state average. We booked an average of over 25 criminals a week, helping to keep our community safe and our citizens from being victimized.
When the COVID pandemic started in 2020, jails were forced to restrict bookings due to the virus. It also created
a workforce issue that led to less people available for critical jobs. Grant County experienced these same issues, including COVID outbreaks in the jail and staff leaving the profession due to stress and other factors. On top of the restrictions at the Jail, the sheriff’s office made the decision to shutter the Grant County Work Release facility due to staffing shortages. That facility houses roughly 70 additional prisoners.
Over the past two years, we have experienced a large increase in crime throughout Moses Lake. In 2020 we saw
a 12% and another 16% increase in 2021. What we have found over the past two years is that many of our crimes are committed by repeat offenders, and with the current jail restrictions and the closure of the work release facility, rarely are officers able to book criminals into jail. We are experiencing a problem of criminals knowing that they will not be booked for committing crime and being somewhat brazen when contacted by officers. We went from an average of 25 bookings per week to roughly 5 per week. Additionally, we have found that there are
hundreds of people within Moses Lake that have active warrants, who when contacted, are prohibited from being booked due to jail restrictions.
My suggestion would be to support the Grant County Sheriffs Office proposal to increase correction deputy wages so that they can hire the workforce needed to staff the jail and work release facility. We need to return to pre-COVID booking requirements and available bed space within the two facilities so that we can hold our
criminals accountable for their actions. It is only through these means that we will see a drop in our crime rate and fewer contacts with repeat offenders.
