CITY MANAGER’S REPORT
Grant County Conservation District (GCCD) and Watershed Council Update Interim City Manager Kevin Fuhr advised that the GCCD is not interested in funding from the City through an Interlocal Agreement and that they would like the Council to
vote to rejoin the District vs. sending the vote to a public election. City Attorney
Katherine Kenison advised that the Attorney General (ATG) indicated no case law to interpret the current RCW to rejoin and the only conservative approach for the Council would be a public vote. Council concurred for the Mayor to attend the next GCCD meeting to make another attempt to discuss the opinion provided by the ATG.
Council Oaths of Office Council approved staff to arrange for a local Judge to administer the Oaths of Office for new and reappointed Council positions at the last meeting in December.

Subject: Semi-Monthly Disbursement Report
The following amounts were budgeted and sufficient funds were available to cover these payments:
Claim Checks 146061 - 146219 $2,230,730.47 Payroll Checks 0063236- 0063251 $10,148.76 Electronic Payments Payroll ACH -11/29/2019 $380,794.85
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.

STAFF REPORT
To: Kevin Fuhr, Interim City Manager
From: Spencer Grigg, Parks & Recreation Director
Date: December 5, 2019
Proceeding Type: Consent Agenda
Subject: Gosi Artisan Woodfire Request for Concessions
Legislative History:
•First Presentation: December 10, 2019
•Second Presentation:
•Action: Motion
Staff Report Summary
Nick Galfano, doing business as Gosi Artisan Woodfire, has requested authorization to provide
mobile food and beverage sales at the Moses Lake Municipal Ice Rink.
Background
Closure of the Larson Recreation Center eliminated onsite concessions at the ice rink. Mobile
concession units are an option to address the public’s food and beverage needs without
operating a fixed internal location. Mr. Galfano has a self-contained mobile unit that would allow
him to vend at the ice rink with City Council authorization.
Fiscal and Policy Implications
Onsite concessions allow patrons to purchase food and beverage at the facility. This typically
leads to higher facility usage, especially during regular meal times.
Options
Option Results
•Approve Mr. Galfano’s request There would be on-site food & beverage during
operation of the ice rink.
•Take no action The ice rink would operate without food &
beverage sales on-site.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends the City Council authorize the request to vend.

STAFF REPORT
To: Kevin Fuhr, Interim City Manager
From: Cindy Jensen, Finance Director
Date: December 5, 2019
Proceeding Type: New Business
Subject: 2019 Budget Appropriation
Legislative History:
•First Presentation: November 26, 2019
•Second Presentation: December 10, 2019
•Requested Action: Motion
Staff Report Summary
During development of the 2019 preliminary budget, which requires analysis of 2019 budget
trends and estimates, we noted several instances where additional appropriation is warranted so
funds remain within budget at the end of 2019. In some cases there is additional revenue to
support the additional expenditures, either in program revenues or grants. In those cases that
are not supported by additional revenue, the fund balance is adequate to absorb the increase.
The attached ordinance increases the 2019 budget for six funds resulting in citywide total
expenditures of $784,000 and adds $184,000 to estimated revenue, resulting in a net use of fund
balance of $600,000 in three separate funds (three funds have equal expenditures and
revenues).
Background
RCW 35A.33.090 sets forth the requirements to amend the budget absent a true “emergency”.
Most fund amendments are primarily the result of things already approved by Council but just
not completely incorporated in the current budget. A summary of the changes follows:
•The emergency repairs for the Division and 5th water main break and Northshore Drive
Wastewater pipe break ($150,000 and $350,000 respectively).
•Fire reported that they have several staff on extended light duty, so we are budgeting to
cover the backfill of their shifts, both with provisional employees and overtime, in the
amount of $115,000. This is the only addition in General Fund, and part of the increase in
Sales Tax is being added to the revenue estimate to keep this entry neutral.
Moses Lake Council Packet 12-10-19, Page 57 of 83
• A power cot used to lift patients in and out of ambulances broke down. Because of its age
and condition we determined it was more cost effective to replace the piece of equipment
rather than repair it. This is adding $24,000 to the Ambulance Fund, which is being covered
by prior years’ Ground Emergency Medical Transportation (GEMT) Medicaid reimbursement.
• Unemployment claims are higher than anticipated this year, adding $45,000 which will be
charged back to applicable operating budgets, keeping that entry neutral as well.
• Risk management deductible estimates exceeding original estimates -- $88,000 is being
added.
• We just found out that the copy machine in the Administration area needs a part that is
obsolete (it was purchased in 2011). We are proposing to purchase a replacement out of
Central Services budget, estimated to cost $12,000.
Fiscal and Policy Implications
It is a compliance issue to have actual results be within the authorized appropriation. If we
overspend an appropriation, the State Auditor’s Office would likely note it as an area of non-
compliance with laws.
Options
Option Results
• Adopt Ordinance Increase the appropriation authority in each of
the affected funds
• Modify the Ordinance Certain items could be taken out or added to
the ordinance
• Take no action Some fund’s 2019 expenditures may exceed
budget authority, potentially causing an audit
compliance issue
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends City Council adopt the Ordinance 2943 as presented.

Balances available for appropriation and expenditures during 2019 in various amounts and for
the purposes mentioned in the attached Schedule; and
Whereas, at the time of the adoption of the 2019 budget it could not reasonably have been

that it is in the best interests of the City to make the appropriation herein provided.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MOSES LAKE, WASHINGTON DO ORDAIN AS
FOLLOWS:

public emergency ordinance necessary for the protection of public health, public safety, public
property, or public peace and shall take effect immediately as provided by law upon one reading
if a majority plus one of the whole membership of the City Council vote in favor of passage.
Section 4. Severability. If any section of this ordinance is found to be unconstitutional or invalid
as written or as applied to any particular person or circumstances, no other section of the
ordinance shall be deemed to be invalid, but rather, should be deemed to have been enacted
independently and without regard to the section affected.

Date: December 5, 2019
Proceeding Type: New Business
Subject: 2020 Fee Schedule Resolution 3786
Legislative History:
• First Presentation: October 26, 2019 (in Preliminary Budget)
• Second Presentation: December 10, 2019
• Requested Action: Motion
Staff Report Summary
This resolution would approve the new 2020 Fee Schedule for all charges (with the exception of
the Solid Waste rates which were reduced effective December 1).
Background
Many of the fees are unchanged from 2019. Parks and Recreation reviewed their fee structure
and are proposing modest fee increases for some of their activities, primarily to recover the
minimum wage increase. In accordance with Council direction given in November of 2016, basic
utility fees are being adjusted to keep up with inflationary increases, by applying the year-over-
year increase in September’s All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) West—B/C (i.e. small cities) index of
2.3%.
Community Development is proposing 2 new fees. A building permit for Grading, Parking Lots,
and/or Stormwater of $100.00 is being added. Also, a technical fee of 1% on all building permits
is being proposed, which is intended to help cover the cost of the technology related to land use
(such as GIS/ESRI software, mobile devices, etc.)
Fiscal and Policy Implications
Since we have recently established by ordinance that the appropriate way to modify the City’s
fee schedule is by resolution, that is how we are setting the fees to be effective January 1, 2020.
These fees were used to develop the revenue estimates that are the basis of resources available
to accomplish the 2020 budget that was adopted by Council at the November 26, 2019, meeting.

Options
Option Results
• Move to adopt Resolution The 2020 Fee Schedule will be effective
January 1, 2020
• Modify the Fee Schedule Provide staff with specific changes, which
would then need to be approved at the
December 19 meeting (still to be effective
1/1/20)
• Take no action The Fee Schedule would remain unchanged,
and the revenue estimates used in the 2020
budget may not be attained
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends City Council adopt the resolution to modify the 2020 Municipal Fee Schedule.

STAFF REPORT
To: Kevin Fuhr, Interim City Manager
From: Kris Robbins, Community Development Director
Date: December 2, 2019
Proceeding Type: New Business
Subject: Notice of Intention to Commence Annexation Proceedings
Legislative History:
•First Presentation: December 10, 2019
•Second Presentation:
•Requested Action: Motion
Staff Report Summary
Community Development has received a Notice of Intention to Commence Annexation
Proceedings from Don Shi with regard to Grant County Tax Parcel Number 171041000. See
attached map.
The matter of initiating annexation proceedings with the subject property comes from a request
for municipal water. In accordance with the City Council’s Policy regarding utility extensions,
properties that are within one-half mile of the corporate limits and wish to connect to water/sewer
services must annex unless otherwise granted an exception by the City Council.
Background
In 2001, the City Council adopted a Comprehensive Plan that included an Urban Growth Area
(UGA) that was negotiated between the Grant County Board of County Commissioners and the
Moses Lake City Council in accordance with RCW 36.70A.110. The final adopted UGA was nearly
ten (10) years in the making and was subject to much debate, discussion and Public Hearings. The
Moses Lake UGA is a twenty (20) year vision that is intended to encourage growth that is urban in
nature and whereby urban governmental services would be provided by the City.
The Moses Lake Comprehensive Plan, Goal 3, Section 3-8 Land Use Chapter, addresses when it is
appropriate to annex areas within our Urban Growth Area.
“Goal 3: THE CITY SHALL ANNEX ONLY THOSE PROPERTIES WHERE URBAN SERVICES ARE
APPROPRIATE AND CAN BE REASONABLY PROVIDED”
Moses Lake Council Packet 12-10-19, Page 72 of 83
Fiscal and Policy Implications
Municipal Services, Police, Fire, Planning and Building would all be impacted in terms of providing
services. The development of annexation area would yield property taxes and more, which would
be utilized to offset staff and infrastructure costs associated with City services that would be
provided to the area.
Options
Option Results
• Consider and accept the Notice of
Intention to Commence Annexation
Proceedings
Annexation proceedings are initiated and the
City Council can initiate the annexation and
proceed with annexation.
• Take no action The City Council will contradict the Goals and
Policies of the Comprehensive Plan, Urban
Growth Area.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Moses Lake City Council accept the Notice of Intent as presented and
approve the proceeding for the public hearing.
