3896 Federal Funding App SupportRESOLUTION 3896 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL SUPPORTING THE APPLICATION OF THE CITY OF MOSES LAKE FOR FEDERAL FUNDING TO SUPPORT CITY PRIORITY PROJECTS Recitals: 1. The City of Moses Lake completed its periodic update of the overall Comprehensive Plan and adopted the plan in November 2021. 2. The periodic update required the involvement of the public in developing community needs and priorities. 3. The City of Moses Lake’s Comprehensive Plan includes an updated Capital Facilities Element (CFP). 4. The CFP identifies that over the planning period the city’s revenues will fall short of funds needed to complete the capital projects to support anticipated growth. 5. Federal representatives have identified that Congressionally Directed Spending applications are open to assist with community identified priorities. 6. City Council reviewed identified “Game Changer” projects in a special meeting March 30, 2022. City Council does hereby endorse and approve the Congressionally Directed Spending applications for funding on behalf of five projects: 1) I-90 Improvement Project – Exits 174 to 176 (Mae Valley to Broadway Gateway): $2.5 million for planning and pre-design of improvements needed between Exits 176 and 174 on I-90, including local access and associated improvements needed for pedestrian and bicycle, stormwater facilities. With level of service failures on the exits as the local traffic increases between these exits due to housing growth increases in Mae Valley and the growth of the City, the City requests funding to address the congestion and safety concerns with the growing use of I-90 as a freight mobility route, and Moses Lake as a hub for new tech industrial growth. 2) Open Doors Sleep Center Permanent Location: $1 million to secure property, prepare the site and relocate the Moses Lake Sleep Center (shelters and associated support buildings), providing a benefit to Moses Lake’s chronically homeless population. 3) Moses Lake Water-Wastewater Improvements: $10 million to support the upgrades needed to Moses Lake’s water supply and wastewater handling facilities to support the Document Ref: EZ7WN-S6JX8-HHJEF-D6TBZ Page 1 of 2 new tech industrial development on the Wheeler Corridor. This funding will match funding provided by the State of Washington ($10 million for electrical infrastructure) and protect utility rates from the impact of the capital facilities needed to support this growth. 4) Broadway Corridor Revitalization: $3.5 million to develop a new gateway and carry out the planning and predesign of corridor improvements for the 3.75 mile section of Broadway/State Route 171/Historic Highway 10. 300 acres of redevelopable property abuts Broadway where improved streets, transit facilities, pedestrian and bicycle facilities will provide a revitalized gateway for the City. This project also envisions the transition of the Columbia Basin Railroad to a Rails to Trails project. 5) Moses Lake Creative District Resiliency Project: $1.8 million for the acquisition of property for a creative district oriented affordable housing project and the planning and pre-design for district wide stormwater facility improvements needed to enhance the health of Moses Lake. ADOPTED by the City Council on April 12, 2022. ________________________________________ Dean Hankins, Mayor ATTEST: ____________________________________ Debbie Burke, City Clerk Document Ref: EZ7WN-S6JX8-HHJEF-D6TBZ Page 2 of 2 Signature Certificate Reference number: EZ7WN-S6JX8-HHJEF-D6TBZ Document completed by all parties on: 14 Apr 2022 15:38:48 UTC Page 1 of 1 Signer Timestamp Signature Mayor Dean Hankins Email: dhankins@cityofml.com Shared via link Sent:13 Apr 2022 17:32:17 UTC Viewed:14 Apr 2022 02:31:49 UTC Signed:14 Apr 2022 02:32:04 UTC IP address: 136.143.151.109 Location: Moses Lake, United States Debbie Burke Email: dburke@cityofml.com Sent:13 Apr 2022 17:32:17 UTC Viewed:13 Apr 2022 17:32:18 UTC Signed:14 Apr 2022 15:38:48 UTC IP address: 63.135.54.162 Location: Moses Lake, United States Signed with PandaDoc PandaDoc is a document workflow and certified eSignature solution trusted by 30,000+ companies worldwide.
