Staff Report Summary
Council heard a report from The Driftmier Architects on their progress on designing a new
recreation center at Larson Field. They presented a project with an estimated cost of $10 million
without sales tax or architect and engineering fees. Adding 8.1% for sales tax, and an estimate of
5% for additional architect and engineering costs, the total for the project comes to about $11.35
million. At the September 24, 2019 meeting, Council asked that a financing plan be brought back
for review. The City is eligible to use the State Treasurer’s Local Option Capital Asset Lending
(LOCAL) program, and using an interest rate estimate of 3.0% over a 20 year term, the total debt
service on $11.35 million is about $763,000 annually.
Background
When we contracted with The Driftmier Architects to design the Larson Recreation Center,
Council was presented a memo that detailed funding sources for the project. A spreadsheet that
summarizes the available resources for the project is attached. Between General Obligation Debt
being paid in full and the ongoing Hotel/Motel Tax, the City has about $900,000 available for debt
service starting in 2021, which is more than adequate to fund the estimated $763,000 annual
payment for 20 years.
The assumption on interest rates in that memo was 5% for a 20 year municipal bond. Since then,
we have researched more financing options, and are considering using the Washington State
Treasurer’s LOCAL program. The State brings together the borrowing needs of many local
government units into a certificate of participation program, which issues bonds on our behalf.
This saves local governments a couple of ways—the issuance cost of the bonds are split among all
the participants, and the State has a much higher credit rating than most local governments so
Page 2 of 2
can garner more favorable interest rates. They were able to issue bonds for a real estate project
with a 20 year term for a net interest cost of 2.66% in September 2019.
Fiscal and Policy Implications
We will need to go through an application process with the State. This borrowing will be counted
against our bonded debt capacity. I believe we are in a strong position, since we have identified
the repayment streams, and we have adequate non-voted general obligation debt capacity. I did
learn that it is a reimbursable program (i.e. we don’t get all the money upfront), and the
construction contract needs to be in place before the State’s bond sale. They issue bonds in
February, June, and October. Since the Federal Reserve dropped their interest rate in September
and have indicated that there may be more easing in the near future, anytime next year would be
good times to bond. Looking at a project time-line with the architects, the next steps if Council
says “go” include creating detailed specifications for a bid document, and then a bid award
process. It will likely take until next spring/summer to have a firm contract in place, which would
put us in the June bond issue at the earliest, and possibly move us into the October.
We can be on a parallel path with the bidding process to get the forms completed for the LOCAL
program. With a June bond issue, we will need to have all the required documents executed with
the State by late April, while an October bond issue would have a July deadline.
Options
Option Results
•Review and make a motion for staff to
start the borrowing process through the
LOCAL program.
Engineering can go forward with next steps to
secure bids on the Larson Recreation Center
project. Finance will start the process with the
State Treasurer.
•Review and ask staff to research other
financing options.
The City may issue bonds for the project.
•Take no action Delay the next steps on the construction project.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council makes a motion to direct Engineering to continue the bid
specification process for the Larson Recreation Center, and Finance to continue to pursue project
financing through the State LOCAL program.

Motion
Staff Report Summary
Staff has received a proposal to amend the scope of work for the Larson Recreation Center to
increase the proposed building size from 14,000 square feet to 30,000 square feet and adjust the
not to exceed design fee accordingly as per Council direction prior to approving the 2020 Budget.
The original not to exceed architectural fee was authorized at $451,249 for a 14,000 sf building.
The proposed not to exceed fee is for an additional $370,353 for a total of $821,602 for design
and construction engineering.
Background
In October 2018, Council awarded an architectural contract to The Driftmier Architects, PS to
design a 14,000 square foot building to replace the existing Larson Recreation Center. After initial
study of the needs, also including the need to replace the space lost in the sale of the Learning
Center and the desire move the parks administrative offices to the new building, the scope of the
project changed. Staff were directed to have the architect design a 30,000 square foot facility.
The following proposal was generated and we are asking Council to approve the amendment.

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.

Motion
Staff Report Summary
On February 12 staff opened bids for the 2020 Pioneer Sidewalk, Curb and Catch Basin Rebid
Project. The City received eight (8) bids for the work. The low bid is $229,985.62 which is lower
that the Engineer’s Estimate of $301,112.00.
Background
The 2020 budget includes money for completing these improvements. This project consists of
replacing 2,000 square yards of existing sidewalk on the west side of Pioneer Way between

Subject: Microsoft Office 365 Contract
Legislative History:
•First Presentation: February 25, 2020
•Second Presentation:
•Requested Action: Motion
Staff Report Summary
The 2020 budget includes an initiative to move the City from individual licensing of our Microsoft
products (i.e. Outlook, Excel, Word, etc.) to the cloud-based subscription service called Microsoft
Office 365. Since the contract is over the City Manager’s authority to approve, we are submitting
it for Council to authorize the City Manager to execute the contract.
Background
The City currently utilizes individual licenses for the Microsoft Office products. This has resulted
in an inconsistency in software versions used by employees. The Information Technology (IT)
staff presented a budget request to move the City from individual licensing of our Microsoft
Office products (i.e. Outlook, Excel, Word, etc.) to the Microsoft Office 365 cloud-based
subscription service. This is intended to provide an increase in service availability, security and
consistency among all users who will have the most recent versions of all Office products, and
will allow editing of Office documents on tablets and phones. Council discussed and approved
this item at their Budget Workshop held on October 26, 2019.
IT is developing an implementation schedule to systematically convert from the individual
licenses, and then provide training for all end users.
Moses Lake Council Packet 2/25/20, Page 57 of 72
Fiscal and Policy Implications
As a subscription service, we will be paying $17.91/month for 250 licenses which includes the full
Office suite and Microsoft Exchange hosting and additional online services. In addition, we will
require 50 licenses at $6.09/month for just Exchange hosting for email use only, which brought
the estimated annual cost to $57,392 plus tax for a total of about $62,000. The 2020 budget is
$64,800, but our price is less because we received a state contract discount.
Options
Option Results
• Move to authorize the City Manager to
execute the agreement(s) with
Microsoft
IT will begin implementation of Office 365
• Take no action The City would continue with the individual
licenses for Microsoft products.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that City Council authorize the City Manager to execute the Microsoft Office
365 contract as presented.

•Action: Motion
Staff Report Summary
Attached is the new license agreement for Moses Lake Radio Control Modelers (MLRCM).
Background
An agreement was signed in 1995 between the MLRCM and the City of Moses Lake to allow them
to use a portion of Sand Dunes Waste Water Treatment Facility property to operate an airstrip for
radio controlled airplanes. The agreement has been updated and revised to reflect current need
for the use of the land to apply biosolids and the leasing of the land to a local farmer to use up the
biosolids produced in the treatment plant. This spreading and farming operation will save the City
over $100,000 annually in trucking costs to haul away the biosolids. The new agreement by the
MLRCM and City of Moses Lake will maintain the use of the current airstrip and includes a $500
dollar annual payment for use of the ground.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends Council to authorize the Agreement.
