BOARD /COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: COUNCIL ACTION: First reading of ordinance; second reading scheduled 12- 14-04. • Ordinance passed. ORDINANCE NO. 2004-87 Public Hearing - -REET 2 December 7, 2004 Page two anticipated Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) was issued and circulated for comment. The formal DNS was issued on October 4, 2004 (attached). Staff has mailed notices to parties of record, placed a legal ad in the Yakima Herald at least 20 days prior to this public hearing (attached), has included a posting on anticipated Determination of the City's website, has sent a Press Release to the Local Media, and placed an announcement on YPAC, all of which encourage public involvement. The State Department of Community, Trade and Economic Development (CTED) was also noticed the week of September 13, 2004. Therefore, 60 days after this notice to CTED has elapsed, City Council may formally act on the REET 2 legislation enabling usage of funds. That 60 -day timeline was met in mid- November. The attached material, in response to Council direction, details the REET 2 5 -Year Project Plan and contains maps and lists that specify a multi -year (11 Years) maintenance program for unclassified street maintenance and the Bituminous Surface Treatment (BST) of unpaved streets. The Engineering Division will plan Arterial Grind and Overlay projects that are consistent with the adopted Six -Year TIP, Pavement Management Report and discussions with City Council. All these projects are allowed under REET 2 (RCW 82.46.035(5)- attached). Council Member Ron Bonlender requested that consideration be given to allowing REET 2 funds for alley improvements. The "REET 2 5 -Year expenditure Plan" chart has been amended to afford funding eligibility based on future Council direction on specific alley activities /improvements. Staff now returns to City Council with appropriate legislation necessary for allowing the use of REET 2 funds for basic street preservation purposes. At this time the public processes required under GMA and YMC 16.10 will have been fully satisfied.
