COUNCIL STRATEGIC INITIATIVE ADDRESSED:
Improve transportation systems
CITY ATTORNEY REVIEW: REQUIRED
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Each year, as required by state law, the City updates and adopts a Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program (T.I.P.). The T.I.P. is a priority listing of funded or proposed transportation-related projects within the City. The T.I.P. identifies the year and the funding sources for the various projects, as well as other basic information on the projects. In order to receive federal or state funding, a project must appear on the City’s adopted T.I.P. However, the T.I.P. may be amended by the City Council at any time to add or delete projects or change funding sources and amount, following a public hearing on the proposed amendment. Copies of the proposed T.I.P. were provided to the City Council on June 3, 2015 and the public hearing was held on June 11, 2015.

COUNCIL STRATEGIC INITIATIVE ADDRESSED:
Enhance Public Safety and Emergency Response
CITY ATTORNEY REVIEW: YES
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The subject ordinance has been prepared to amend the 2015-2016 biennial budget to authorize revenue and expenditures unforeseen at the time the 2015-2016 biennial budget was adopted. These amendments affect the Traffic Safety Fund in the 2015-2016 biennial budget. An Office Assistant position at the Longview Police Department was eliminated on December 31, 2013 as part of budget cuts. Since that time, four new school zone camera systems have been added in the city of Longview. The volume of photo enforcement work done by police clerical staff has increased fivefold from 2012 (prior to layoff from budget cut) to 2014. Due to the increased workload, the Police Department is requesting to restore the Office Assistant position to ensure time requirements are met in processing photo enforcement paperwork and payments.

| 1 | | | Agenda Item | RESOLUTION NO. 2148 - UTILITY RATE REDUCTION PROGRAM 2015
COUNCIL STRATEGIC INITIATIVE ADDRESSED: Continue to provide utility rate relief to low-income senior citizens and low-income disabled citizens in Longview
CITY ATTORNEY REVIEW: REQUIRED
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The Council has established a utility rate reduction program for low-income senior citizens and low-income disabled citizens of the City. Annually, low income senior and low-income disabled citizens on the City’s rate reduction program are asked to re-apply so that staff can ascertain whether or not they still qualify. In years past, a number of program participants have received modest annual increases in income that, in many instances may have caused them to exceed the limit in effect, and therefore could have resulted in some of the participants losing the rate reduction benefit. These increases in income are largely the result of inflationary increases granted by the Social Security Administration.
In most instances, the modest cost-of-living increases granted by Social Security are not sufficient to | approved | Pass |

| 1 | | | Agenda Item | NON-MOTORIZED BOATING CONCESSION AGREEMENT
COUNCIL STRATEGIC INITIATIVE ADDRESSED: Address quality of place issues
CITY ATTORNEY REVIEW: REQUIRED
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
In 2014, the city council approved an agreement for a concessionaire to provide small boat (primarily kayak) rentals and tours to be operated at Lake Sacajawea Park on a trial basis (a temporary permit). An ad-hoc committee made up of department staff, the park and recreation board, and council members met to review the success of the concession. The conversation included community, committee, and department feedback about the operations. It was determined by the committee there was enough success and potential value to try it again. The department moved forward with a request for proposals in April to provide non-motorized boating concessions at the lake.
The city received two proposals from separate parties. The ad-hoc committee weighed each proposal against the required RFP criteria and a vendor was chosen. Attached is the proposed agreement to provide for a temporary permit to Paddle Flatts Kayakin | | |

| 1 | | | Agenda Item | FOOD AND BEVERAGE CONCESSION AGREEMENT
COUNCIL STRATEGIC INITIATIVE ADDRESSED: Address quality of place issues
CITY ATTORNEY REVIEW: REQUIRED
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
In 2013, the city council approved Resolution No. 2045 adopting policies for a food and beverage concession at Lake Sacajawea Park. The resolution included the purpose, expectations, responsibilities, and criteria for awarding a concession. A request for proposals for a food and beverage concessionaire was issued.
No proposals were submitted during the term allotted by the 2013 RFP. Subsequently, in February of 2014, the Parks and Recreation Department was contacted by a prospective mobile food vendor looking to sell shaved ice at Hemlock Plaza. Council directed staff to negotiate a concession agreement consistent with applicable ordinances and policies. An agreement was crafted for a trial concession and signed by the City Manager on behalf of the city.
The vendor ultimately was unable to operate last year due to mobile unit construction difficulty, and then unforeseen circumstances with business lice | | |
