This request brought up the issue of an Airport Use Agreement being agreed upon by the parties involved which ended with the private contractor (IASCO) paying a nominal fee for use of Bowers Field. In summer of 2016, staff had a conversation with Dave Lehman with IASCO about renewing the agreement which had expired. In late summerlearly fall staff was given information by the airport consultant CenturyWest that complied the take offs and landings taking place at the airport. With the additional services being requested now by IASCO and general maintenance that has no cost recovery, staff is recommending a new amount be assessed for the use agreement due to these factors. Staff is now dealing directly with IASCO's Finance Department due to Dave Lehman severing employment with IASCO and conversations are still ongoing. Discussion was held. Board Direction: No Direction 2016 ROAD FUND BUDGET: Mark stated that as staff prepares for the Board presentation, the Management Team in Public Works have been meeting and looking at all aspects of the operation. On the upside in 2016 we delivered the No. 6 Road Improvements, Manastash Bridge Improvements, Lodge Creek Culvert Replacement was moved up a year, the Silica Road Bridge Replacement that was unbudgeted and the Mt. Daniels Drive Extension. In all of those costs we are approximately $165,000 under budget. On the other side, as we've looked closely at the 6 year plan from last year that we brought you last year we have some issues 411 N. Ruby, Suite #1 TEL (509) 962-7523 Ellensburg, WA 98926 FAX (509) 962-7663 Dept. of Public Works Page 2 we have seen driven by a couple of infrastructure failures, like the culvert on Yellowstone fail and have put a band aid on it and will have to be completely replaced. We load limited Manastash Bridge which we were not aware of until a bridge inspection. Staff anticipated the Taneum/Thorp Hwy Bridge needing replaced but we did not fully understand the cost implications. Those projects are not capital projects they are preservation projects. As we have looked at all the various funding mechanisms there are very few preservation funding sources. We have asked the County Road Administration Board to fund the Manastash Bridge Replacement. No money for Yellowstone currently and again this is a project that will involve bull trout. Discussion was held regarding the under 20' bridge structures and the funding for this infrastructure. What we now see is that the maintenance program has been over stating the maintenance demand at about 1.5 million a year. We did not see this last year but did this year. Staff spent time to resolve the issue. Discussion was held. Board Direction: No Direction WATER RESOURCE ISSUE UPDATE: Mark gave background on Ringer Loop and the decision to not fight the river anymore. In anticipation of flooding events this fall and winter we made the decision to remove the pavement and reno blankets on the north/south segment of the roadway. Associated with this project we were savvy with our conversation with FEMA and over the last 10 months staff has worked to finalize equipment procurement from the November 2015 flood claim. On a similar discussion with Ringer Loop we have received about $988,000 from the integrated plan towards some key acquisitions. We have offers out to Sparks and Papineau and have countered an offer to Sparks for review. We anticipate receiving a counter offer from Papineau as well. We expect these properties to play out in some way either by purchase or they go away. A couple months ago we got word that some key properties in the Teanaway are available for acquisitions. We took half the funds for the Ringer Loop acquisitions and will put towards the property in the Teanaway. In November of last year the Schaake Levee sustained damage on Bureau of Reclamation land. Bureau of Reclamation has been working for the last 10 years to setback the levee. The current conversation is whether or not we will be able to repair our levee. Bureau of Reclamation and US Fish and Wildlife are requesting we consider an alternate repair. The current proposal is to setback the damaged levee and staff is working with all 411 N. Ruby, Ste. #1 TEL (509) 962-7523 Ellensburg, WA 98926 FAX (509) 962-7663 Dept. of Public Works Page 3 partners to see if a setback is possible. The County Surveyor, Justin Turnbull, examined dedication easement documents for Schaake and does not believe we have a right to set the levee back. Staff is pursuing resolution through Bureau of Reclamation. Several months ago staff submitted three Floodplain by Design grants: Reecer Creek for $5 million, Lower Yakima for $5.1 million and Manastash for $500,000. Last week the notices came out and we are currently #11 statewide for Lower Yakima and it falls at about the $50 million mark. Currently there is lobbying of the Governor's budget for funding at $70 million. We won't know more until the Governor's budget comes out. There is a potential downside to the upcoming grant awards. The finance department will likely need a fiscal technician to help cover regular duties and the grant reporting. This means getting rid of other positions that were currently in the budget. Discussion was also had regarding the upcoming FEMA mapping and the technology involved. Board Direction: No Direction CITY OF ELLENSBURG FIBER OPTIC PROPOSAL: Mark reported that the COG awarded the City of Ellensburg monies to improve connections city wide. The City was looking at doing internet and other avenues but has decided that the money would best be spent on the fiber optic. The City is asking the question if they are able to recover any costs for connection charges but they are going to have savings in the first year of the project. Discussion was held. Board Direction: Get more information from the City of Ellensburg on the project. 2x4v�l Mark Cook Public Works Director 411 N.

Cook RECOMMENDATION: Direct staff to proceed with a 2016 Airport Use Agreement with IASCO. BACKGROUND: In February 2015, Kittitas County Public Works created an Airport Use Agreement with IASCO supporting flight training services at Bowers Field. The original agreement set an annual fee of $500.00. During 2016, staff approached IASCO on several occasions and requested communication from IASCO management developing a 2016 use agreement. Recently, the IASCO staff contact for the County severed from IASCO. Over the past several months, staff has been communicating to IASCO the rationale for developing an appropriate use fee. Several months ago, staff determined the number of landings and takeoffs from IASCO accounts for approximately 90-95% of all such actions at Bowers Field. We have been advising IASCO (for over six months) that we intend compiling all consumable costs (lighting, striping, snow removal, weed control and other budgeted undistributed costs) as the basis of setting a use fee. We have been clear that we intend applying the percentage of landings and takeoffs to these costs as the fee basis of the use agreement. DISCUSSION: Evaluating 2015 and 2016 consumable costs to date provides a basis of understanding annual expenditures. The average annual cost for services is approximately $30,000/year. Using the 90% figure equates to approximately $27,000 per year. We propose setting the annual Airport Use Fee for IASCO at $24,000 per year; based on the rate of consumption of services not covered by any other financial instrument (land lease or FBO services). Page 1 of 3 PUBLIC WORKS BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT FISCAL IMPACTS: The Use Agreement is delinquent by ten (10) months. Once the fee is set, staff can complete the 2016 Airport budget.

Overall program Cessna aircraft are maintained according to the Cessna Progressive Care Program. This defines four phases that are conducted each 50 hours of flight time. The Beechcraft Duchess aircraft are maintained on a 50 -hour, 100 -hour, and annual inspection program. King Air maintenance is performed in accordance with Beechcraft Phase Maintenance Program, where inspections are due each 200 hours. Discrepancies are noted in the resource maintenance system (RMS) by dispatchers when the student and instructor return to the dispatch desk after an activity. This is monitored constantly by maintenance administrative support staff, and if a downing discrepancy is noted, a technician is sent to verify and correct the issue as necessary. A Work Order is then generated in RMS, and when the aircraft is returned to service the technician will sign the discrepancy sheet. The standardized aircraft log book entry is generated by the system for Quick and easy installation into the aircraft records.

Equipment and facility information a. Redding, CA Base — IFT conducts maintenance activity on 3,000 square feet of floor space along with an administrative office and parts storage area. We perform general through heavy maintenance, and outsource engine overhauls and components such as magnetos and governors. b. Ellensburg, WA Base — IFT plans to conduct maintenance activity from two or three of the Carrera Hangars on Bowers Field beginning September 1, 2014, which is the start date of the service contract between IFT and CWU. The initial term of this contract is five years, and is renewable each year after that for an additional year, up to 10 years. Maintenance operations will be managed by lames Wheeler, an FAA certified Aviation Maintenance Technician (AMT) for almost 30 years. Mr. Wheeler will have up to two other technicians and one administrative assistant on the maintenance department staff. Administrative staff may be partly based out of the CWU Aviation Training Center, which IFT is sub -leasing for training operations use. Hangars will contain aircraft maintenance tools, equipment, and aircraft parts inventory. IFT will make some modifications to the interior of the hangars in accordance to the lease agreement with Carrera Hangars. Modifications may include provisions for heating, electricity, lighting, and interior access between maintenance -designated hangars. Any and all hazardous materials will be stored and applied according to federal, state, and local regulations. Modifications will be financed using operating capital. Costs of modifications are undetermined at this time, but will fit into the startup budget allocated for this program. IFT will perform maintenance as required by training operations, and will require vehicle access to the hangars for the employees (with parking near the hangars). Maintenance technicians will transport equipment and parts on the airport only when necessary for delivery or removal. However, if a training aircraft becomes disabled in an aircraft movement area, vehicles will be dispatched to recover the aircraft as soon as possible. Any vehicle in a movement area will utilize a yellow light on top of the vehicle, and will establish and maintain radio contact with any aircraft traffic on the ground or in flight.

Instructors will be qualified in a manner appropriate to the course they are teaching pursuant to the FAA -approved course training course outline. Using an agreement to use CWU's Aviation Training Center, IFT will have continuous use of adequate office and briefing space to accommodate training of 120 students and necessary staff. Restrooms and seating are also available. IFT also has agreement from CWU to use their leased ramp space to park and operate training airplanes. Generally, airplanes will be stored in hangars at night, but given good weather conditions, may also be parked on the ramp overnight. (FT adheres to strict training operations and safety procedures that are part of standard practice, and contained in our Pilot Training Operations Manual (PTOM).

First, ETA gives dispatchers unfettered access to the information needed to facilitate training operations. IFr has built into the system (ETA) checks, balances, and hard -stops that allow dispatchers to confidently release resources to the right people at the right time. Moreover, dispatch staff has defined processes, procedures, and guidelines that allow them to act with more autonomy, which further aids in training operations facilitation. Here is a list of tools and common procedures dispatchers use to accomplish their jobs. r Dispatch Release Process o In order for a student to receive Photo: Flight campus entrance. keys to an airplane, he/she must t complete a Dispatch Release form. This is a two-sided form that requires students to document . their preflight planning. It contains a section for maintenance i discrepancies, fuel load and expected burn, weight and balance calculations, aircraft performance data for the proposed flight, and weather information for departure and destination airports (METAR, TAF, FB, AIRMET/SiGMET, and NOTAM). o Once the student completes the form, he/she reviews it with the flight instructor during the preflight briefing. The instructor signs the paper that it is correct. o The student then takes the signed Dispatch Release to the dispatch desk Photo: dispatch serving students and instructors. where a dispatcher on duty will review that all boxes have been completed. If the release is totally completed, the student , will be issued the keys to the airplane. o For solo flights, there is an additional Solo Flight Dispatch Release form that ensures all proper documentation has been made and that a qualified instructor is present to supervise the solo flight.

Electronic Maintenance Reporting o RMS interfaces with ETA for instant updating of aircraft times and discrepancies (and discrepancy resolution) to personnel in operations or maintenance. o Students and instructors have access to real-time aircraft maintenance information through RMS at the dispatch counter. After students receive their training resource, they can quickly open maintenance reports on a computer at the dispatch desk. They can then view discrepancy history and status, as well as the amount of time remaining until the next scheduled inspection. Flight Information and Times Sheets o Students and instructors use this half -sheet form to record Hobbs time (out/in), engine tachometer time (out/in), maintenance discrepancies, and aircraft supplies status. o Both student and instructor take these forms on the flight. Upon return, the student turns in his/her form to dispatch. Data from the form is entered into ETA and used in completing the student's electronic pilot log and lesson grade sheet. n Company Frequency and Call Sign o IFT dispatchers have a base radio within reach to facilitate the management of resources while they are in flight. With a leased company -specific operations frequency, students and instructors can communicate freely with dispatch or maintenance personnel regarding any route modifications, schedule issues, or mechanical problems that develop during an activity. We also use this frequency for normal communications when entering or leaving the IFT ramp area, and when entering, flying in, and exiting designated flight training practice areas. o All aircraft possess a flight number associated with IFT's FAA/ICAO-approved radio designator (i.e., call sign) ("MARMOT") and three -letter identifier (MMY). All flights use this information when communicating with ATC or flight service. Because the call sign and identifier are ICAO approved, they are valid for use in any ICAO member state airspace. Photo: BlueSky Hawkeye Flight Tracking PT GP' o As previously mentioned, IFT uses BlueSky GPS tracking devices. These are primarily used for solo flights, but may be incorporated into dual activities as well. ' o IFT's FlightAware account separately tracks all IFR flights (those Q on an IFR flight plan) under the MMY identifier. w IFT -- Redding, California, USA The New Standard for .

Some of the items are: windscreen cleaner and rag, a quart of oil and a funnel, and general cleaning rags_ IFT carefully selects and trains its dispatchers to meet the high demands that are simultaneously placed on them during times of heavy activity. Team members are issued the Dispatcher Operations Manual that serves as a guide to how their job should be conducted (generally). The manual discusses duties, expectations, proper levels of service, and acceptable behavior and communication techniques.

IFT—Redding, California, USA The New Standard for Pilot Training Page 18 of 18 KITTITAS COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS PUBLIC WORKS — BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS STUDY SESSION STAFF REPORT STUDY SESSION DATE: November 14, 2016 TOPIC: 2016 Road Fund Budget ACTION REQUESTED: Informational Only LEAD STAFF: Mark R. Cook RECOMMENDATION: None. BACKGROUND: During early October 2016, staff identified a budgeting issue within the Road Maintenance portion of the Road Fund budget. Investigation confirms that the maintenance budget has been overstating its annual funding need by approximately $1.5 million. Corrections have been made bringing the maintenance budget in line with expenditure history. We believe this came about during initial formulation of CRAB's (County Road Administration Board) maintenance standards and associated units of measure. Last year (2015), Public Works revised its approach to setting the annual construction and six year transportation plans. Rather than showing unfunded projects with "possible funding sources", we elected to show actual need against known funding. We also solicited maintenance for known preservation (existing infra -structure) deficiencies. Additionally, we began a more critical evaluation of the County's bridges. The Board may have noticed that Public Works has not aggressively solicited County residents for input on the proposed 2017 six-year plan. We have intentionally avoided public outreach believing that we are not well served to create false expectation with rate payers. We recently adjusted our six-year proposal (11-4-2016) significantly reducing projects. We wanted to interact with the Board prior to conducting public outreach on our proposal. DISCUSSION: We know that maintenance and administration account for approximately $7.5 million annually. This very closely matches annual road levy and gas tax funding sources. Owing to the lack of preservation work during the past several years in Public Works, this work now requires expensing through Road Fund reserves. Page 1 of 2 PUBLIC WORKS BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT While this strategy was identified for the Board during our 2016 budget presentations, the impact to the fund is now coming more clearly to light. The County Engineer and Public Works Director have removed key projects from the 2016 six year plan attempting to slow the burn rate of reserves. We are attempting to limit preservation spending to approximately $2 million a year for the next several years. That said the current preservation demand will bring the Road Fund reserve to $5 million at the end of 2019. Further expensing of the reserve will expose Public Works to unacceptable financial risk. Expensing below $3 million in reserves is strongly discouraged by staff. The burn rate on Road Fund reserves is unavoidable. Preservation (rehabilitation of existing infra -structure) projects typically have no state or federal funding sources (we rely on CAPP and RAPP) . The vast bridge network of the County is significantly non-compliant with current bridge rail requirement. We have eliminated the under 20 program from the 2017 six year proposal. We cannot continue pushing Vantage Highway back, as deferred maintenance only drives the cost of rehabilitation upward. Loss of $2 million in anticipated levy shifts places additional financial stress on the fund. The return of $1 million per year beginning in 2019 is insufficient to stem the burn rate on fund reserves. Supplemental revenue is required if the program is going to maintain the network of roads and bridges countywide — well into the future. If supplemental funding is unlikely, Public Works will prepare a proposal for Board consideration during 2018 budget preparation. The proposal will evaluate high risk and high cost infra -structure — likely recommending abandonment of same. The impact of this decision is huge for the County. Closing roads and bridges is already a reality for King County. FISCAL IMPACTS: We are taking appropriate actions adjusting the six year transportation program recognizing the demand on fund reserves. More preservation demand is inevitable, given our current business model focus on maintenance and the bridge program. We will continue seeking any and all supplemental funding sources for preservation projects. In the absence of supplemental funding, our efforts reducing the burn rate of fund reserves in warranted.

Cook RECOMMENDATION: None. BACKGROUND: During the past several months, Public Works has been working various water resource issues: Ringer Loop, Schaake Levee and Lower Yakima. Last week, we took action reallocating $500,000 of the integrated plan money ($988,452) awarded to Ringer Loop. The $500,000 will now go towards high priority habitat acquisitions in the Teanaway. In early October, we completed removal of pavement and Reno blankets along the north -south segment of Ringer Loop Road. We are also finalizing equipment procurement resulting from our November 2015 flood claim with FEMA. We currently have two land acquisitions offers out: Papineau and Sparks. We anticipate those acquisitions will expense approximately $488,452 of integrated plan funds. We have been working for months with US Army Corps of Engineers towards repairing damaged elements of the Schaake Levee. Bureau of Reclamation and US Fish and Wildlife are requesting we consider an alternate repair. The proposal is to set back the damaged levee. We are currently working with all partners to see if a setback repair is possible. Several months ago, we submitted three Floodplain by Design grants: Lower Yakima ($5.1 million); Reecer Creek ($5 million) and Manastash ($500,000). We received notice last week that Lower Yakima is proposed for funding (#11 priority statewide) and falls at about the $50 million mark. Lobbying of the Governor's budget for funding at $70 million is underway. DISCUSSION: We may not successfully close Papineau and Sparks. Our offers have not met with acceptance. Sparks countered and so did we. As of the time of this Page 1 of 2 PUBLIC WORKS BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT briefing, we have not heard a response on our counter offer. Papineau has contacted a local attorney and we anticipate a counter offer soon. County Surveyor Turnbull has examined dedication easement documents for Schaake and does not believe we have an ironclad right to set the levee back. We are pursuing resolution through Bureau of Reclamation real estate staff. Providing Lower Yakima funds, the current grant accounting burden will worsen for Public Works. Financial Systems Manager Jurgens is currently servicing multiple grants. Public Works will likely request time with the Board and Human Resources (HR) for a discussion regarding financial staff resources in the near future. We continue covering the vacant Water Resource Manager position and we will likely discuss with the Board during our next opportunity with HR. FISCAL IMPACTS: Multiple (Ringer Loop, Lower Yakima and Schaake Levee) ATTACHMENT None. Page 2 of 2 PUBLIC WORKS BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT
