Chairman Cory Wright seconded the motion. Motion passed. BOWERS FIELD TAXI LANE CONSTRUCTION DISCUSSION Mark Cook stated that staff recently met with two potential lessees for property at Bowers Field. Mark Cook continued that these lots would have private hangars constructed on them, however, the area where the lots are located do not have utilities or taxi lanes constructed. Mark Cook added that he is requesting to add the costs for these improvements into the 2020 budget and potentially lease these lots at a higher rate to recover some of the improvement costs. Discussion was held. Staff was directed to pursue the costs associated with the improvements and program into the budget for 2020. BAKERS ROAD TRUCK TRAFFIC DISCUSSION Mark Cook stated that there has been a long standing issue with construction traffic accessing Bakers Road to bypass the internal road network of Suncadia. Mark Cook commented that he has attempted to work out a solution with Suncadia but has not been successful. Mark Cook continued that the traffic is using the Evergreen Valley neighborhood as a shortcut upsetting residents. Mark Cook added that as an emergency solution he had staff place barricades on Bakers Road so large vehicles could not travel on the roadway. Mark Cook stated that the Board could pass an Ordinance restricting truck traffic and then it becomes an enforcement issue. Discussion was held. Staff was directed to remove the barricades and schedule a meeting with Suncadia and Fire District No. 6 to discuss the issue. TANEUM ROAD EAST SPEED STUDY TWO (2) RESULTS Mark Cook stated that at a previous study session he presented speed study results for Taneum Road East and after discussion the Board directed staff to conduct an additional study to see if any recreational traffic would be captured. Mark Cook presented the results from the second study and commented that the results didn't change much from the first study. Mark Cook suggested moving forward with setting a public hearing for the Board to hear from residents in the area and that his recommendation will be to not lower the speed limit. Staff was directed to set a public hearing at an upcoming agenda session.

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS KITTITAS COUNTY, WASHINGTON Cory Wright, Chairman Attest: ❑ Clerk of the Board- Julie Kjorsvik Brett Wachsmith, Vice -Chairman ❑ Deputy Clerk of the Board- Mandy Buchholz Laura Osiadacz, Commissioner KITTITAS COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS PUBLIC WORKS — BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS STUDY SESSION STAFF REPORT STUDY SESSION DATE: August 12, 2019 TOPIC: Out of State Travel and Training ACTION REQUESTED: Authorize Out of State Training for Water Resource Manager Thomas LEAD STAFF: Mark R. Cook RECOMMENDATION: Authorize out of state travel and training for Water Resource Manager Thomas. BRIEFING SUMMARY: • Floodplain Manager Hodges is retiring 12-31-2019 • Floodplain Manager training is being offered 10-21 through 10-24, 2019 in Lewiston, ID • Water Resource Manager Thomas will serve as Floodplain Manager upon successful completion of the FEMA course and associated certification exam BACKGROUND: For the past several years, Planner III Hodges has served as the County's Floodplain Manager. Karen's pending retirement creates a critical gap in the County's floodplain management program. Water Resources Manager Thomas is offering to serve as the County's Floodplain manager following Hodges' retirement. DISCUSSION: FEMA is providing the required floodplain manager training course in Lewiston, ID in October. The course is generally three days and a certification exam is offered following the course. Public Works (PW) desires having Thomas go through the training and subsequent exam allowing some additional time if a second exam is needed. In the absence of a certified floodplain manager, PW will likely have to contract floodplain permit review to an outside consultant. FISCAL IMPACTS: The course is free. Travel is estimated at approximately $800 - $1,000 (meals, lodging and fuel). The adopted 2019 budget provides $6,000 for training.

Cook RECOMMENDATION: Direct staff prepare cost estimates for extending utilities and constructing two taxi -lanes at ELN supporting pending private hangar leases. BRIEFING SUMMARY: • Five (5) pending lessees require new taxi -lanes to access ELN parcels • Utilities (sewer, water, electric and gas) should be extended prior to taxi -lane construction • The Airport Fund (10 1) does not have sufficient cash reserves likely needed for taxi -lane construction • Economic development plan for ELN is likely one year away from delivery BACKGROUND: Five (5) private pilots have put deposits down for leasing lots inside the fence at ELN for building private hangars. The location of the lots requires the construction of two separate taxi -lanes extending from the existing apron area to back lots located along Bowers Road. DISCUSSION: Taxi -lane construction is envisioned in the current ELN Master plan. The cost of utility extension is likely the most expensive part of the taxi -lanes. The Board must consider the impact of seeking total cost recovery for project costs against the lots benefited or recognize the cost of development is incidental to leasing up available rental area airside at the airport. Supplemental funding is required for the taxi -lane to go forward in design and construction is 2020. Once an engineering and planning consultant is selected for ELN, the design and construction oversight tasks can be undertaken. Page 1 of 3 PUBLIC WORKS BOARD OF COUNTY CONINUSSIONERS WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT FISCAL IMPACTS: Public Works is estimating the combined cost of utility extension at $155/per lineal foot (using recent Suncadia bonding estimates). The cost of taxi -lane construction is estimated at being $40,000 (using recent Suncadia bonding estimates). Design is estimated at $50,000. The likely combined project cost is: $130,000 to $150,000.

Cook RECOMMENDATION: Direct that staff prepare an Ordinance for Board consideration restricting truck through traffic on Bakers Road at Swiftwater Drive. BRIEFING SUMMARY: • Long term access issue with Suncadia at Bakers Road • Public Works (PW) has declined to pursue requested road vacation by Suncadia • Suncadia restricts access via a locked gate at SR 903 • Suncadia construction traffic terrorizes the local community every construction season as they avoid the locked gate • Recently, Public Works placed jersey barrier allowing cars to navigate past the barriers but prohibiting larger truck traffic • Numerous calls both pro and con have been pouring in through last week • It appears that construction traffic is driving around the barricades outside of public right of way and onto private property BACKGROUND: For the past several years, PW has tried to manage access of construction traffic on Bakers Road at Swiftwater Drive. Suncadia management has expressed dis-satisfaction with PW decision not to pursue vacation of Bakers Road. In response, Suncadia Management manipulates locked gates forcing construction traffic through Evergreen Valley to Bakers Road. DISCUSSION: PW believes the long term solution to minimizing Suncadia construction impact on the Evergreen Valley community it to develop legislation limiting construction traffic on Bakers Road at Swiftwater Drive. A brief conversation with FD 6 last week affirms ongoing access issues with Suncadia management. It is unfortunate that Suncadia construction traffic feels compelled to access Suncadia via Bakers Road. While PW is friendly to the construction industry, the Bakers Road/Swiftwater Drive is not designed to Page 1 of 3 PUBLIC WORKS BOARD OF COUNTY COMNUSSIONERS WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT manage the kinds and amount of traffic being forced through the intersection owing to decisions being made by Suncadia management. FISCAL IMPACTS: Minimal costs to date: placing barricades.
