MEMORANDUM
To: Dick Zais, City Manager
From: Chris Waarvick, Director of Public Works
Shelley Willson, Streets and Traffic Division Manager
Joan Davenport,' Traffic Engineer
Wayne Deason, Street Maintenance Supervisor
Date: November 4, 2004
Subject: Streets and Traffic Division Ability and Resources to Serve Proposed
Englewood Area Annexation
The resources contained in this memorandum allow the Street and Traffic Operations
Division to accommodate the service needs of the proposed annexation area and the
unmet demands placed on the Division by the 72 and 40 Avenue annexations. Only a
portion of the resources necessary for the service needs of the 72' and 40 Avenue
annexations were available since Police and Fire needs were more fully met initially. .
Much of those ongoing, annual, resources that were initially distributed to Street and
Traffic Operations Division for the 72' and 40 Avenue Annexations were subsequently
unavailable due to budget constraints.
The Proposed annexation will require additional equipment, supply funds, and personnel
in order to continue existing levels of service throughout the City of Yakima. Without
the additional resources identified below, service levels will be reduced within the current
city limits because service capability will be diluted over a larger area. The total
estimated funds necessary for this division to annually serve the proposed annexation is
$415,000. Based on conversations with Yakima County representatives and our own
analysis, we believe that annually an additional 5 3 /4 Full-time employees (street and'
traffic operations), at an annual cost of $ 269, 900, and an increase in various supply and
m/o lines totaling $142,100 (in 2004 dollars) and $3,000 for power.
In addition, therewill be one -time equipment costs associated_ with the annexation.
These purchases are particular to this area and in order for the division to able to respond
to the maintenance needs somewhat unique to this area. The equipment purchases will
primarily be funded with the one -time revenue payment of County Road Tax funds of
approximately $262,000. A detailed listing of the equipment is included in this
document.
The hard surfacing or pavement of unpaved streets in the annexation is estimated at
$250,000 to $1,000,000. This one -time expenditure is difficult to accurately identify in
the short timeframe given to respond due to geographic and engineering challenges in the
current road system. The revision of street nameplates to City of Yakima blue is
estimated at $22,540.

The information included in the body of this report details the various programs.
Area Description
The proposed "Englewood" Annexation is a low - density residential area that has been
included in the Urban Growth Area since 1976. Much of the existing housing and
residential streets have been created under Yakima County standards during the last thirty
years. There exist a wide variety of street conditions within the Proposed Annexation
Area. Additionally, considerable vacant land is located within the area for future
development.
Topographically, this area is characterized by considerable slope. Nearly one -third of the
Annexation area has an average slope of 6 to 8 percent. Many existing streets are built
with grades exceeding 5 percent. The grade and cross- sections of the streets would
present a challenge to our current BST class A program for. unpaved streets. Specific
issues associated with drai' a and nm-off • e __ drainage
,....... �...•• •,..j. -�.� may require the installation. of a g
control system, curb and gutter if the streets were hard surfaced. Much of the vacant
land will require additional streets to be constructed on steep slopes.
•
Existing Street Inventory
The Proposed Annexation Area includes approximately 12 miles of public streets now
maintained by Yakima County. Of those streets, 3.6 miles are gravel - surfaced streets and
8.4 miles are either asphalt or BST surfaced. Included within the Annexation Area is
approximately one -half rye of Suinmitview Avenue, a four -lane Principal Arterial with
curbs, gutters, sidewalks and street lights. Also, the area contains approximately one mile
of Collector Arterial Streets including portions of Englewood Avenue and North 66
Avenue. The re 1A 5 miles are t___1 access >+a,.m+e. The i s.ss� � v... miles ari: local aGCess streets.
Yakima County currently has established street centerlines and edge -lines (fog lines) on
approximately 2 linear miles of streets within the annexation area. These are largely
safety precautions for the slopes and general lack of street lighting in the area.
Additionally, guard railing exists along 69 Ave, 72n Ave, 74 Ave and other streets due
to the topography. Culverts and drainage ditches along the shoulders of streets are also
common.
Sidewalks and curbing exist on seven- residential streets within the annexation area.
Storm drains are located where curb and gutter exist. Approximately 30 public street
lights are located on residential streets.
Street Maintenance Estimates
Pavement conditions of the 8.4 miles of paved streets vary widely throughout the
Annexation area. Annual maintenance activities for paved streets include patching, crack
filling, sweeping, gravel shoulder maintenance, mowing, weed control and culvert
cleaning. The area would need chip - sealing on a routine basis. The City Street Division
has proposed an eleven -year cycle for chip - sealing of all paved streets within the city
limits in its REET2 Utilization Proposal to City Council. This area would need to be
included in the cycle and would proportionately increase the number of miles completed
annmatly and the associated cost for the program ($15,000 annually). Additional supply
funds would be necessary for shoulder maintenance, culvert and guardrail maintenance,
routine patching, weed control, general supply, fuel, equipment m/o costs and sweeping.
Total estimated costs for maintenance items are $124,300. Staff recommends purchasing
asphalt maintenance equipment to allow the crew to increase their efficiency level in
making asphalt repairs. An asphalt cutting saw and as additional high pressure _
compressor would allow us to have two crews maintaining asphalt, allow our current
level of service to be maintained with regard to pot holes patching and crack filling. The
small compactor would be used in concert with the patching and grinding crews to insure
adequate ;compaction of the asphalt.
Asphalt Saw $6,000 •
Air Compressor . $15,000
3 -Ton Compactor $35,000
Street maintenance crews have been reduced in the last five years..No additional street
maintenance staff has been retained due to budget restraints to maintain the streets
annexed in 2001 with the West Valley Annexation of 986 acres or the Viola/S 40
Annexation. Consequently, street maintenance crews have reduced service levels
throughout the city of Yakima in order to stay within available resources. In the last 10,
years, the City limits have grown by 25% in area, but street maintenance crews remain at
the same number. An additional impact has been the retirement of 4 employees from
work groups associated with traffic operations and street inspections that previously had
worked in the street division and had maintained their CDLs. During critical programs
these employees were used to operate street equipment to supplement the actual street
crew. Currently, there is one equipment operator from traffic engineering that may be
used. The remaining employees may only assist with traffic control: This has had a
substantial impact on our ability to respond to emergencies and complete our larger
maintenance programs. Therefore, we recommend 5 Full-time street maintenance
employees ($235,000) would be necessary to serve the proposed annexation area in
combination with the South 72' Avenue and other related annexations of recent years.
Snow and Ice Re •
As previously noted, many of the streets within the annexation area are characterized by
significant slope. Therefore, snow removal and de -icing will be of particular importance
to these residents. Annual costs associated with snow and ice control for supplies is
estimated at $12,000 annually. The city fleet of snow removal equipment is already
limited. To provide adequate service the following equipment is recommended:
One five yard front-tilt dump trucks with plow $150,000
One 4X4 with plow $35,000
Gravel Street Dust Abatement Program
The Annexation area includes 3.6 miles of gravel public streets. In 2003, the City of
Yakima'ibegan a program to apply a hard, light surface to all the existing gravel streets
within the city limits as a method to,improve air quality and reduce dust. By 2005, all
gravel streets within the (existing) city would have a hard surface. Upon annexation into
the city of Yakima, the gravel streets within this area should also be surfaced. The cost to
hard surface gravel streets using our. existing BST class A program is estimated to cost
$60,000 per linear mile $214,200. However, as noted earlier, grade and cross- sections of
certain streets may ,require the addition of a drainage system prior to hard surfacing.
These costs could be as high as $1,000,000 and would occur in future years as a capital
project. There are no funds programmed at this time for the treatment of this area with a
BST Class A surface.
Street Signs and Lines
Approximately 2 miles of streets within the annexation area have center lines and edge
lines. The cost to maintain these painted surfaces has been estimated at $2,000 per mile.
Annual cost to maintain street striping is estimated at $3,800. It is recommended that a 3 /4
employee (.75 Full-time equivalent) be hired to assist with the annual striping and
marking program at an annual cost of 534,900. In 2004. with staff reduction. and the
lar • er service area we were unable to com •lets the . aintin t .rot. . is for the existin c'
limits. No stop bars or turn arrows were painted and all lane lines, stencils and _
crosswalks received only one application of paint. Past practice included a second
application of paint in the fall to reduce winter wear of the markings.
An inventory of existing street signs has not been conducted. Eventually, all County road
name signs would be replaced with city name blade signs, which signify for emergency
purposes City or County jurisdiction. All other regulatory and advisory signs require
replacement on an average of every ten years. Based upon the 12 miles of public streets,
an average sign replacement estimate would be approximately $22,540 as a one -time
cost. Annual routine maintenance costs for signs are estimated at $1,500.
Street Lights and Traffic Signals
At the current time, no traffic signals are located within the annexation area. A quick
inventory of the proposed annexation area identified approximately 30 street lights.
Power for street lights currently averages nearly $70 each annually. Power costs will
increase. approximately $3000 as a result of this annexation. Re- lamping and routine
maintenance supplies for the street lights are estimated at $500. Over time, residents will
request additional street lights, existing budget limitations would not allow for additional
street lights to be installed at the expense of the city in this area. However, there is a
large potential for developer installed lighting as vacant parcels are improved. This may
significantly impact power costs in future years.
