AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION None. 7. REPORT FROM ENGINEERING DIVISION REGARDING I -82 PROJECT VALUE ENGINEERING RECOMMENDATIONS Dennis Covell, Director of Engineering and Utilities, referred to the Value Engineering Study of the Pre - design of the Gateway Project. He explained the Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) requires value engineering to be done for any project in excess of $1 million funding by that organization. The study was done between August 16th and August 19th and a written summation of the verbal summary of the study was previously distributed to Council members, as well as the VE Study document. In order to address a question from Council Member Barnett, Mr. Covell explained he believes, along with the County and the State in discussion of this matter, that the consultant's estimate is conservative and that the increased cost to include the "I" Ramp in Stage 1 construction can be accommodated within existing funding. Mr. Covell introduced Stan Kelley of CVS, Inc., the Team Leader in the VE Study. With the aid of illustrations and maps, Mr. Kelley briefly explained the value engineering methodology /objectives and explained the Team's findings from the eight areas which determined six Value Engineering Proposals (VEPs). Mr. Kelley reviewed VEP No. 1, a proposal which would eliminate the signal at J -Line and Yakima Avenue; VEP No. 2, a proposal which would eliminate two J -Line intersection signals, one at Yakima Avenue and one at Fair Avenue; and VEP No. 3, a proposal which would eliminate the two J -Line intersection signals and add to Stage 1 the construction of the DR -Line (Ramp I). Mr. Kelley answered several questions from Council Members Beauchamp, Sims, and Buchanan regarding various traffic routes of the design and the lack of cost effectiveness to align Ramp I and Ramp J. Mr. Kelley reviewed VEP No. 4, a proposal to improve Fair. Avenue to three lanes from Spruce Street to Pacific Street during Stage 1 as an interim measure prior to the eventual design calling 2 402 SEPTEMBER 7, 1993 for five lanes. Mr. Kelley and Mr. Covell responded to a question from Council Member Beauchamp regarding the Fair Avenue construction location. Mr. Kelley further explained VEP No. 5, which refers to the CL -Line Flyaway Taper and proposes an increase in the length of the merge lane where it joins westbound Yakima Avenue traffic. He referred to the map and explained how this would be done. Council. Member Buchanan cbmmented.that the distance pedestrians will have to walk on the north side to get across the merging lane will increase. VEP No 6 includes the installation of a temporary signal at the intersection of Terrace Heights Way and the northbound ramps. Mr. Kelley explained that it would be used during the construction period only because the volume of traffic doesn't warrant permanent signalization. Council Member Buchanan commented about the need for signalization at this intersection and ramp and expressed concern about putting in painted walkways instead. Mr. Kelley and Mr. Covell responded to Council Member Barnett's written questions contained in Attachment "A" of the report regarding VEPs 1, 2, and 3 and clarified the meaning of Level of Service standards. Mr. Covell provided explanation concerning the turn radius on the J Ramp and emphasized the importance of lane width. Council Member Barnett asked if there had been a response received from the Federal Highway Administration and what changes might be made. Dick Larson, District Administrator, DOT, explained the Federal Highway Administration will consider this project from an operational standpoint in the interstate system -- how it will operate now and in the future. In response to a question from Council Member Buchanan about the safety of putting a pedestrian lane across the highway, Mr. Larson described the pedestrian access provisions of this project as adequate in an urban setting. At this point, Mr. Kelley continued his presentation with Design and Project Suggestions. These included the essentiality of retaining the J -Line (Ramp J) in the design because it will provide a smooth flow of traffic; the suggestion to not include a signal at 9th Street and Yakima Avenue because it is believed the Stage 1 improvements will reduce the amount of truck traffic and significantly improve traffic circulation in the 8th Street and 9th Street area. Council Member Buchanan commented that truck drivers use the easiest and shortest route. The third suggestion was to remove or reduce the length of the median strip (decorative island) on 8th Street. This would permit the left turn lane to be significantly increased in length which will make it easier to turn left onto Yakima Avenue. Mr. Kelley commented that with these improvements on 8th Street, the traffic signal should remain. Council Member Brado suggested making an optional left turn lane in order to expedite traffic. In response to a question from Council Member Beauchamp regarding elimination of traffic signals, Mr. Kelley commented that it should be the designer's responsibility to 3 40.3 SEPTEMBER' - 7, 1993 evaluate signalization recommendations. Mr. Kelley answered a question from Council Member Buchanan regarding a free right turn on the J Ramp. Mr. •Kelley explained the VE Team recommended eliminating the frontage road along Terrace Heights Way for safety reasons and because the frontage road could be utilized to improve Terrace Heights Way alignment, be utilized as part of the pedestrian /bicycle lane and provide for future development of a third west bound lane which would become a right turn lane at 9th Street. The last item Mr. Kelley suggested was to separate into three contract packages, the civil and structural work, 'the final grading and paving, and the landscaping and irrigation. • By doing this, Mr. Kelley explained, the VE Team felt a significant amount of money could be saved. There was discussion between Council Member Barnett and Dennis Covell regarding putting project optional add-ons 'to the base contract and being able to accommodate them with existing funding. Mr. Larson responded to Council Member Barnett's question regarding what would happen to existing state funds if the parties to the agreement do not make a written commitment to complete the ultimate project. Mr. Kelley finished his presentation by describing the present design as an excellent total plan for continued implementation and construction. The suggested changes contained in the VE Proposals indicate value enhancement of the project. Mr. Kelley responded to a question from Council Member Beauchamp regarding the cost estimate of improvements to Fair Avenue and explained the meaning of life cycle savings. At the request of Council Member Buchanan, staff will provide information at a later date about what the grade is on the J Ramp and the CL Line. Al Royal, JEM Development, 402 E. Yakima Avenue, commended the VE Team's recommended changes, in particular, the removal of signalization on Yakima Avenue. He expressed concern about the proposed net increase in the cost of the project and urged the prioritization of Phase 1 and Phase 2 project consideration be made by City Council. He questioned the status of the J Ramp being identified in the report as a key element of the design. Mr. Royal also commented about the availability of funding. He described the negative impact he believes the J Ramp will have on the downtown area and wanted the assurance that what will be built will continue to preserve at least the level of access that they have today. Gary Lukehart, 1100 East Lincoln, commended the VE Team on I/ their findings and described the positive impact this project will have on the area. He urged the project move forward to the next stage. Greg Stewart, Central Washington State Fair Board, described this project as an investment in the future and encouraged Council to move forward with the project. Dave Connell, 810 Mesa Vista Place, representing the Yakima Bears, urged Council to go forward with the project and announced the Yakima Bears are in favor of this project. Council Member Barnett directed staff, regarding the frontage road access, to include existing homes and businesses that would be affected into the discussions. After further 4 404 SEPTEMBER 7, 1993 discussion concerning the design contract, the opportunity for Council to address this issue at a later date, and the continued search for pedestrian /bicycle pathway funding, there was a consensus among Council members that the following is the list of Recommendations: (1) , It is recommended that VEP #3, 5, 6 be incorporated into the design and right -of -way phase of the consultant contract to be reconsidered for Council action on September 14th. (2) It is recommended that VEP #4 funding be pursued. Currently local competitive 1994 STP grant money has been tentatively secured for the design of Fair Avenue between Spruce Street and Pacific Avenue. WDOT, Yakima County, Transit, and City Engineering are providing the local match money in accordance with the Gateway participation agreement between the three entities. This allows time to continue to seek other grant moneys for VEP #4 construction so it can be coordinated with the Gateway project Stage 1 construction. ( It is recommended that design project comments #1 & 2 be approved and comment #2 be included in the Gateway Project as a bid alternative. City Engineering can do the necessary design and costing work. (4) It is recommended that design project comment #3 be referred to the consultant to cost out eliminating or reducing the frontage road access. This information should be presented to Council in the future for consideration of incorporation into the project design. (5) it is recommended that the project Stage 1 construction be programmed into three separate contracts as suggested in the design and project comments section 7.5 of the VE Study. The Design and Project Comments- referred to in the Recommendations are as follows: (1) Lengthen the north leg left turn movement at the intersection of 8th Street and Yakima Avenue to increase the efficiency of the intersection by removing the landscape /pedestrian island. (2) No signal at 9th Street and Yakima Avenue Intersection because it is believed the improvements visualized in Stage 1 of the project will significantly reduce the Convention Center /Holiday Inn /Cavanaughs access to Yakima Avenue during peak traffic hours. (3) The VE Team recommended eliminating the frontage road along Terrace Heights Way for safety reasons and because the frontage road could be utilized to improve Terrace Heights Way alignment, be utilized as part of the Ped /Bike lane and provide for future development of a third west bound lane which would become a right turn lane at 9th Street. The cost to modify the residential and business access along the frontage road to Pitcher Street was not costed out as it was not part of the original pre- design of the project. (4) Multiple contracts for Stage 1 construction has a potential project savings of $150,000 $200,000. It was MOVED BY SEMON, SECONDED BY SIMS, TO ADOPT THE FIVE RECOMMENDATIONS TO INCLUDE THE CAVEAT THAT MR.COVELL WILL TALK WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD. The motion carried by unanimous voice vote. City Manager Zais advised Council that the consultant contract will be placed on next week's agenda. 5 405 SEPTEMBER` 7, 1993 8. REPORT FROM PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT REGARDING PUBLIC RESTROOMS AT THE TRANSIT TRANSFER SITE Bill Schultz, Transit Manager, was available to answer I/ questions about his report. There was discussion among Council members and staff regarding various structure designs, safety and accessibility features. After discussion about whether or not there was support among Council members to build the restrooms, it was MOVED BY BARNETT, SECONDED BY BEAUCHAMP, TO CONTINUE THE STUDY OF AND TO PUT IN AN APPROPRIATE PUBLIC RESTROOM AT THE TRANSFER SITE AT THE COMPLETION OF THE PROJECT WITH THE DETERMINATION OF WHAT WE DO MADE AT A LATER DATE. The motion failed by 4 - 3 roll call vote; Berndt, Buchanan, Semon, and Sims voting nay. *9.

YAKIMA CITY COUNCIL AND WASHINGTON STATE DEPARTMENT OF ECOLOGY ENVIRONMENTAL FORUM Following a brief recess, the forum began with Chris Waarvick, Wastewater Superintendent, briefly outlining four areas of discussion. He introduced Bob Barwin, Rick Frye, and Tony Grover, with the Washington Department of Ecology. Bob Barwin is the Water Quality Sections Supervisor with DOE in Yakima who deals with the Central Region of Washington. He explained the changes in implementation of the Water Quality Program and reviewed the "Ecology Mission" statement. He emphasized Ecology's intent to balance economic development issues versus environmental impacts through the concept of wise management. Council Member Sims described the mission statement as being exclusionary with no public input and commented that it doesn't say who is going to pay nor does it talk about the economic impact. At this point, Mr. Barwin continued his presentation with a brief history of the Federal Clean Water Act of the early 1970s when there were abundant grant programs available, mostly funded by federal revenue. However, due to declining federal revenue, those programs have been eliminated and have been replaced by a smaller loan program; there has been two state bond issues passed to generate funds, and the Centennial Clean Water Fund established to provide grants for clean water activities. During the last ten years, the tendency has been to push the costs down to the local level to those entities generating the wastewater. Mr. Barwin described the local water quality as being in pretty good shape but emphasized that the Lower Yakima River is in a state where it doesn't meet or exceed the "Federal Class A standards which are conducive to a swimmable or fishable status. There are some problems with 8 408 SEPTEMBER 7, 1993 pesticide contaminated sediments, and high temperatures due to a lot of diversion of water. Mr. Barwin continued his presentation that included explanation of the Watershed Approach and answers to questions and comments from Council members and staff. There was discussion among Council members, staff, and Mr. Barwin regarding Yakima's wastewater discharge permit which is expected to be extended until 1997 due to this policy shift to the watershed basin approach to pollution control. Mr. Barwin explained the Five Year Cycle which includes scoping, monitoring, assessing and evaluating information, and public involvement, which will eventually lead to basin plan development and permit issuance and implementation, as well as including management practices that identify new problems and the development of flexible solutions to them. He explained the concept of Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) as it directly pertains to the water quality standards as it affects Yakima. He explained where federal mandates come from, as well as how litigation affects program implementation. City Manager Zais commented about regulations from the agency that require immediate comment or short timeframe for comment. That presents problems for cities and other agencies around the state. Referring to the burden of federal mandates, Council Member Semon stressed the importance of the Department of Ecology to utilize their capability to inform the EPA of the City's concerns about this issue. Mr. Barwin commented that a taskforce has been appointed to consider regulation development from a multiagency viewpoint. Referring to the overhaul in the Administrative Procedures Act a few years ago, Mr. Barwin continued his presentation with explanation and comments about the public involvement process when it comes to policy development. Most of the useful process is done at the workshop stage. Mr. Barwin briefly explained the National Toxics Rule, recently issued by the EPA, which includes specific standards for toxic pollutants. He indicated that this will be a future issue Yakima will need to consider. Mr. Barwin referred to the Clean Water Act Reauthorization, proposed legislation moving towards the Senate, and commented about the significant emphasis being placed on nonpoint sources of pollution (such as stormwater runoff). Referring to the major change for this community to comply with the new requirements proposed in the Water Pollution Prevention and Control Act of 1993, City Manager Zais explained that there will be new funding requirements and perhaps a new stormwater utility will need to be established. This will have to be done to finance it. Council Member Barnett commented about whether the City of Yakima Whitepaper will have any affect, or make any difference, on the proposed legislation. City Manager Zais explained why it is necessary to express the concerns and views of the community regarding the Clean Water 9 409 SEPTEMBER 7, 1993 Act Reauthorization to the appropriate authorities. This proposed legislation will go through an extensive review process of which we will have an opportunity to input. Mr. Barwin described the effects of the state's dangerous I/ waste regulation and how it identifies what wastes are dangerous, and described the coordination between agencies in order to not duplicate functions regarding permit administration. He provided a brief history of this issue and explained what changes the hazardous waste program will include. Pete Hobbs, Pretreatment Specialist, clarified a question from Council Member Barnett regarding local dangerous waste monitoring. Council Member Barnett commented about the complexity and the confusing nature of the regulations concerning the WAC Model Toxics Control Act. He requested a response to questions asked regarding WAC 173 - 322. Ty Wick commented that he hadn't received any response to his letter regarding the proposed changes to the WAC which, in order to receive grant money, would name responsible parties to the cleanup; that would be a condition to receiving the grant money. Tony Grover, with the Toxics Cleanup Program, Department of Ecology, referred to the proposed new Grant Rules, and answered questions relating to the railroad cleanup area and the Model Toxics Control Act Chapter 173 -322. He apologized for the confusion and explained he will make sure the language is clarified. - 20. REPORT FROM DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT REGARDING STATUS OF GROWTH MANAGEMENT ACT Discussion was postponed. Council members were reminded about neighborhood meetings. 21. OTHER BUSINESS Discussion occurred regarding the conflict of scheduling of an Airport Board meeting and the informal Council meeting. Council's secretary will get facts and then poll the Council members regarding attendance. There was discussion regarding the procedure used to appoint vacancies on various boards and commissions. It was MOVED BY SIMS, SECONDED BY BUCHANAN, TO APPOINT JEAN ALLEN • I/ TO FILL THE VACANCY ON THE HOUSING AUTHORITY BOARD. The motion carried by unanimous voice vote. After further discussion and comments among Council Members regarding appointment procedures, it was MOVED BY SIMS, SECONDED BY BUCHANAN, TO REAPPOINT LEE SEMON, JR., MIKE MERCY, JOSEPH MORRIER, AL ROYAL, HERBERT HILL, BILL IBACH, PAUL CAMPBELL, JOHN WELLE, PAT GILMORE, ROBERTA MCDONNELL, AND LYNN LIIKALA - SEYMORE TO THE DOWNTOWN AREA REDEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE.
