The report included a discussion on debt capacity, and Council asked that we expand the review of debt capacity used by other cities. We have surveyed 11 Washington cities with population between 45,000 and 135,000 using the 2012 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) from each of the 11 cities. The attached spreadsheet summarizes the results. The one thing that is difficult to determine from the CAFR data is how much of the debt service is paid by General Fund, and how much is paid by other dedicated resources. Yakima has historically used General Fund as well as other dedicated revenue sources such as Hotel/Motel tax, Public Facilities District sales tax credit, and Real Estate Excise Tax for our bonded debt. However, as long as a debt issue is Councilmanic General Obligation Debt, it carries a "full faith and credit" pledge of general tax support, even though agencies may have a separate dedicated revenue source for repayment. Each debt issue needs to stand on its own merits when presented to the credit rating agencies, and how we plan to repay the debt is something the rating agencies consider. Including potential future debt service in the Five Year Financial Plan addresses our capacity to repay the debt.

In addition, the person requested that we investigate the location of fences adjacent to the intersection to determine if they are properly located so as not to create a sight distance problem. The review of the fence locations has been completed. The fences are located in accordance with existing city code. The sight distance issue is more related to the approach grade of 80th Avenue and the location of the hillcrest on Tieton Drive. The combination of those two features is such that it can be difficult to judge the speed and the distance of approaching vehicles. This will be taken into account during the warrant analysis for the traffic signal. A traffic signal warrant analysis is required in order to determine if a traffic signal is an appropriate remedy for any safety issues that may be present at the intersection. The analysis will take several weeks to complete. We will need to collect traffic speed and volume data, analyze accident patterns and conduct on-site observations to determine driver behavior at the intersection. A report will be provided to the council upon completion of the analysis. COMMUNITY REVIEW BOARD MEETING AGENDA February 19, 2014 5:30 p.m. - Council Chambers - City Hall I. CALL TO ORDER II.
