RE: Police Department Update – November 2022
The following is a summary highlighting some of the Medina Police Department activity in November 2022.
Follow up:
Nothing to report.
Thanksgiving:
There were no issues over Thanksgiving weekend.
Winter Weather:
The first snowfall and icy conditions for the season began on November 29th and fortunately there were no
dangerous hazards to report. Our officers were ready to coordinate with Public Works if needed to keep the
roads plowed and sanded. The focus is always on community health, safety and doing the best for our
residents.
Marine Patrol:
Marine Patrol Sergeant Chad Schumacher advised that there was nothing to report for the Marine Patrol. He
did want to mention that Argosy Cruises has started their caroling cruises in Lake Washington and Lake Union.
If vessel owners follow the Argosy vessels, he would like to remind the vessel owners to give them a buffer
because the vessels make wide, slow turns. Also, please dress warm for the occasion.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
Via: Stephen R. Burns, City Manager
From: Steven R. Wilcox. Development Services Department Director
Subject: Development Services Department Monthly Report
I would enjoy talking with you individually about anything in this report. The best way to
contact me is at swilcox@medina-wa.gov. Also 206-235-9137 or 425-233-6409.
Permit Activity
Please see the two permit activity reports provided. You will notice in the “November 2022
Issued Permits” report that the Total Value of permits issued continued the 2022 trend.
November was an exceptionally slow month for permit issuance and our year-to-date permit
valuation total is behind 2021 by nearly 28%.
Development Services Fund
2023 will be a year of evaluation, preparation, and possible action towards changing certain
aspects of the Development Services Fund. The DS Fund is new to 2022 and we have
learned some positives and negatives through using the fund during the past year. Pending
City Manager and Council input and approvals, a goal in the first half of 2023 will be to build
the framework for a 2024 DS Fund budget that is sustainable. Currently, we are preparing
for a discussion that we hope to have with Council regarding DS Fund concepts sometime
in early 2023.
In the previous Development Services Staff Report dated November 14, 2022, a general
overview was provided which was titled “Development Services Fund Concepts”. These
described concepts are being further developed through research, staff discussions, and
consultation with Municipal Research and Services Center (MRSC). A more complete draft
of concepts for changes to the DS Fund will eventually need to be reviewed by our Ci ty
Attorney prior to an initial discussion with Council.
The overall purpose of this new concept discussion is the idea of creating a DS Fund that
is independently sustainable through the highs and lows of the local development economy.
The DS Fund should not be assumed that it can currently be independent of the General
Fund through year-to-year local development activity changes. Considering the recently
approved Medina tax levy, a separation of costs and services associated with development
activity should be consistently shown, and the DS Fund was established in 2022 with that
as a primary motive. However, the DS Fund was not established in a manner which can
confirm independence and sustainability over time.
17
AGENDA ITEM 5.1c
2
Assuming Council approval, a goal for achieving changes to our DS Fund would be the start
of the 2024 budget preparation next summer. I would enjoy speaking with you individually
about this prior to what I hope is an early 2023 discussion with the full Council.
Planning Commission
By Stephanie Keyser, Planning Manager
Planning Commission held a public hearing on their annual minor code amendments during
their November 15th meeting. After discussion, consideration of staff’s recommendation, and
a review of the record, Planning Commission voted unanimously (7-0) to recommend
approval of the minor code amendments. December’s Planning Commission meeting has
been canceled in lieu of the joint meeting that will be held during the first hour of the
December 12th Council meeting.
Comp Plan
The first city-wide Comp Plan survey has been released and will be open until January 28,
2023. To ensure we capitalize on receiving as much input as we can, the City is using the
following strategies: weekly email and social media reminders will be sent out from now until
the survey’s close; sandwich boards with a QR code will be placed in the parks and outside
of City Hall; hard copies will be mailed to every house in Medina; and hard copies will be
available at City Hall to pick up.
Staff continues to work with CREA on finalizing the GMA checklist (this is the first item
required by our GMA Grant) and doing a first review of the Comprehensive Plan goals and
policies. This is an initial edit by staff to remove policies and goals that have been achieved
or are now codified. All new goals and policies will be discussed and agreed upon by
Planning Commission and Council. In preparation for the joint PC/CC meeting, the
Development Services Committee (DSC) met on Monday, December 5th to preview CREA’s
presentation and related materials.
Construction Activity and General Medina Municipal Code Enforcement
Our staff placed emphasis on garbage/recycle bin enforcement this past month. We have
not had many positive results by placing notices on bins. We want to avoid taking formal
actions such as issuing citations for leaving bins out, but it remains an option.
Staff has been asked to contact individuals who leave bins in the public right of way on a
regular basis, and work with them towards code compliant solutions. All of this takes time
so this may be a slow process, but we will continue to be diligent. Bin enforcement is a
regular weekly activity for us.
Tree Management Code Enforcement
Please see the two reports by our Tree Management Code consultants. You may notice
that our reports are evolving and we are now close to having a template, If you have
comments or ideas for improvements please let me know.
At the second Council meeting in January 2023 our two City Arborists will make a joint
presentation. The purpose of the presentation is to make you aware of experiences and
18
AGENDA ITEM 5.1c
3
thoughts our two new City Arborists now have after using our Tree Management Code for
several months. Both of our Arborists have experience with other local jurisdictions which
they will use to give you some comparisons.
Andy Crossett is our non-development project arborist consultant. Andy responds to
requests from homeowners who want to remove a tree on their property or in the adjacent
public right of way. Andy also performs code enforcement and hazardous tree evaluations
on non-development projects.
Sean Dugan is our development project arborist consultant. Sean participates in our pre-
application process, reviews development site permit applications, performs inspections,
performs code enforcement on development sites, and will assist the City with code
amendments, the Comprehensive Plan Update and other.
We have two arborist’s performing similar, but different tasks for us. When soliciting to find
a new arborist following Tom Early’s departure last year we were not able to find a person
who could perform the entire job description for us. Now, we have two qualified arborist
consultants.
Tree Infestation Concerns
Recently Andy Crossett was asked by a Medina resident to evaluate a tree for removal. In
October, a resident requested an inspection of a legacy-sized Douglas fir on her property.
She was concerned about a possible Bark Beetle infestation due to information received by
a representative of Evergreen Tree Service which is a local arborist/tree service company.
It was claimed that the resident’s tree was “infested” and would likely die and fall on her
house. It was stated that there is an on-going Bark Beetle “infestation” in Medina. Our City
Arborist inspected the tree and found no sign of the beetles. Our Arborist has inspected
many Douglas Fir throughout Medina and has found no evidence of a Bark Beetle
infestation.
2021 Washington State Building Code
The 2021 Washington State Building Code (“State Code”) was adopted by the state. We
will need to implement the 2021 codes on July 1, 2023. The implementation date could
change.
Once a comparison of code changes has been prepared we will share that in a staff report.
The primary effect of the code change will be in energy efficiency through the Washington
State Energy Code. Council will be asked to approve the adoption of the 2021 Washington
State Building Code.

1. TIB SMALL CITIES GRANT PROGRAM – This summer, Public Works submitted three applications
for funding through TIB’s Small Cities Program. On December 2, 2022, TIB announced the
selected projects for FY2024. The City of Medina was awarded funding for all three projects
that were submitted. The three projects include sidewalk on 81st Ave NE, asphalt overlay
Upland Road and citywide cracksealing.

2. SNOW PREPAREDNESS – At the November council meeting, a question regarding snow
preparedness was asked. The Public Works Department currently owns two plow trucks with
one salt/sand attachment. During forecasted snow events public works maintenance is put on-
call during the weather timeline. If snow starts to fall and poses safety issues, the Police
Department contacts Public Works to dispatch our crew. As for pre-treatment, we partner with
Clyde Hill to provide spraying services.

3. FUTURE AC WATERMAIN REPLACEMENT – City of Bellevue Engineering recently contacted
Medina Public Works regarding their upcoming AC Watermain Replacement Projects for 2024.
A site meeting was arranged to review challenges with the NE 18th Street corridor to the
waterfront area. NE 18th Street is a narrow roadway and services 38 properties for ingress
egress. Bellevue’s proposed project will limit access to these properties for approximately 4
months. Coordination with residents, police and fire will be critical during construction.

4. MAINTENANCE - The public works maintenance crew has been busy with fall cleanup tasks.
During the autumn season, they deal with plugged catch basins due to fallen debris in the
roadway. This is also when most of the street sweeping and vactoring budget is spent. Lately
the rain volumes have been lower than previous years which allows them to clean up prior to
potential flooding events.

Permit
Clarify permit covers tree and vegetation in the right-of-
way
MMC 16.72.100 Nonadministrative Tree
Activity Permit
Clarify this permit is for Landmark trees with a DBH of
50 inches or greater, as required in MMC 16.52.160(E)
Summary of Proposed Amendments
1. MMC 10.08.010 – Streets and Roads. The purpose of this amendment is to remove the
referenced street address that identifies the end of the Medina city limits on Lake
Washington Blvd. It’s not appropriate to have a person’s home address as a landmark or
identifier in code. Residential addresses do not exist in perpetuity and often change as a
result of construction, lot consolidation, or lot separation. This amendment will remove the
home address number.
2. MMC 12.44 – Street Vacations. The amendments in this chapter were written by the City
Attorney to clarify that if a petitioner withdraws their street vacation petition, or if it is
denied, they (the petitioner) are still responsible to reimburse the city for full expenses and
costs incurred processing the petition.
3. MMC 16.12.090 – “H” Definitions. The purpose of this amendment is to remove
housekeeping unit from the “H” definitions because it is referred in the code as single
housekeeping unit.
4. MMC 16.12.200 – “S” Definitions. The purpose of these amendments are to clarify “S”
definitions.
5. MMC 16.22.040 – Protrusions Into Setback Areas. The purpose of these amendments is
to clean up and clarify the section. For mechanical units, the proposal includes an
exception where existing mechanical units may be replaced by installing a new unit in the
same location, regardless of setbacks. This amendment also provides relief for residents
of existing legally nonconforming houses so that they may place new units in the side
setbacks, provided they are 5-feet away from the property line. In both of these
circumstances, the units still must pass the required sound test and screening required by
code. There would be no new impact to neighbors.
6. MMC 16.34.020 – Accessory Dwelling Units. The purpose of these amendments is to
remove the requirement for an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) to have an additional use.
An example of an additional use is to have a garage with an ADU on top or to have an
ADU with a separated room and access that could just be used as a studio. Staff has
found that this additional use requirement creates an unnecessary burden on existing
homeowners and is an example where theory (code) and practice (building plans) just
don’t mesh. It should be stressed that this additional use requirement is not a problem
with new construction. With new construction, the owners already want to build a detached
garage with a mother-in-law suite on top or build a pool house with an apartment. The
problem comes with residents who either have an existing structure that they want to
convert to an ADU (like an existing detached garage), or they have an existing ADU that
they want to expand or remodel and start using again. To meet the intent of the code
residents are having to either get creative and reduce the functionality of the space or tack
on storage closet appendages that are wasteful of resources.
7. MMC 16.34.040 – Accessory Recreational Facilities. The purpose of this amendment is
to correct a scrivener’s error.
81
AGENDA ITEM 8.1
8. MMC 16.52.190 - Tree Protection Measures during Development. The purpose of this
amendment is to clarify tree protection during site development.
9. MMC 16.70.030 – Construction Code of Conduct. The purpose of this amendment is a
clean-up to repeal an old code section that was missed with previous amendments.
10. MMC 16.71.010 – Minor Deviation. The purpose of this amendment is to clarify that a
structure cannot experience either substantial destruction or reconstruction during to
qualify for a minor deviation. This ties a monetary limit to the minor deviation process and
aligns it closer to its intent which is for a remodel and not for a completely new house. If a
homeowner wanted to go exceed the substantial destruction or reconstruction threshold,
they could request that through a nonadministrative variance.
11. MMC 16.71.040 – Level 1 Tailored Construction Mitigation Plan. The purpose of this
amendment is a clean-up to repeal an old code section that was missed with previous
amendments.
12. MMC 16.71.050 – Administrative Right-of-Way Tree Activity Permit. The purpose of this
amendment is to clarify permit covers tree and vegetation in the right-of-way.
13. MMC 16.72.080 – Level 2 Tailored Construction Mitigation Plan. The purpose of this
amendment is a clean-up to repeal an old code section that was missed with previous
amendments.
14. MMC 16.72.090 – Nonadministrative Right-of-Way Tree Activity Permit. Clarify permit
covers tree and vegetation in the right-of-way.
15. MMC 16.72.100 – Nonadministrative Tree Activity Permit. Clarify this permit is for
Landmark trees with a DBH of 50 inches or greater, as required in MMC 16.52.160(E).

Subject: Letter of Support - Mercer Island Marine Patrol Funding
Category: City Business
Staff Contact: Stephen R. Burns, City Manager
Summary
On November 11, 2022, the city of Medina received a letter from the City of Mercer Island
requesting legislative support for an appropriation request in the upcoming State of
Washington Legislative Session for funding to replace two of the Mercer Island marine patrol
vessels. In part, “We are very pleased to be offering marine patrol services to the City of
Medina and we are writing to ask you to support Representative Tana Senn’s appropriation
request in the upcoming State Legislative Session for funding to replace two of the Mercer
Island marine patrol vessels.”
This is being brought in front of the Medina City Council to discuss and decide on how to
proceed with this request. Mercer Island provides marine patrol services to the Points
Communities of Medina, Hunts Point, and starting in 2023 Yarrow Point.
As a Council, you can take a range of actions from full support to outright rejection. Whatever
the result, a Council resolution would be the appropriate vehicle to specify the issue,
benefits/detriments, decision, and ensuing action(s), including notice of the results back to
Mercer Island.
From a budget perspective, Medina (like the other cities serviced) would benefit from the
Mercer Island getting the State funding as it would lower the shared operational costs and
enhance the fleet.
Attachments
1. Letter From City of Mercer Island - Marine Vessel Replacement
2. Mercer Island Marine Patrol Vessel Replacement – 2023 Legislative Priority
3. Mercer Island Final 2023 Legislative Priority
Budget/Fiscal Impact: Cost savings for the city with a lower shared operational cost.
Recommendation: Approve.
City Manager Approval:
Proposed Council Motion: “I move to support the City of Mercer Island’s request for legislative
backing for an appropriation request in the upcoming State of Washington Legislative Session for
funding to replace two of the Mercer Island marine patrol vessels and direct staff to bring a
Resolution of support at the January 2023 City Council Meeting”

Dear Mayor Rossman,
We are very pleased to be offering marine patrol services to the City of Medina and we are
writing to ask you to support Representative Tana Senn’s appropriation request in the
upcoming State Legislative Session for funding to replace two of the Mercer Island marine
patrol vessels.
The Mercer Island Marine Patrol unit currently has two vessels in its fleet that will be reaching
the end of their useful life in the next few years. The City has anticipated the need for new
vessels and reserved sinking funds for the replacement. These resources, however, are likely
to fall short given the rising costs of replacement vessels. We began working with
Representative Senn earlier this year on an appropriation request to ensure there is no lapse
in regional coverage or emergency response.
On November 1, 2022, the Mercer Island City Council adopted our 2023 Legislative Priorities
and identified the marine patrol vessel replacement as a top priority. As a regional partner in
our marine patrol program, we are now asking for your support through advocacy and the
inclusion of this item as one of your legislative priorities:
“The City of Mercer Island State-certified Marine Patrol Unit was founded in 1982 and
provides marine patrol services to Medina, Bellevue, Renton, Yarrow Point, and Hunts
Point for their water-based services with just three vessels. Two of the vessels are near
the end of their useful life and the City is seeking funding for the $1.1 million in estimated
replacement costs.”
We have included the City of Mercer Island’s Legislative Priorities and a one-page summary
describing the vessel replacement need.
We are grateful to Representative Senn for her support of this critical regional program and
welcome your partnership and advocacy as well. We are happy to meet to further discuss the
need and please also let us know if there are ways we can collaborate with Medina on your
priorities during the upcoming Legislative Session.
Sincerely,
SALIM NICE JESSI BON

AGENDA ITEM 9.1
Mercer Island Marine Patrol – Legislative Priority
Support Representative Tana Senn in seeking State funding to replace the
aging City Of Mercer Island Marine Patrol fleet
The City of Mercer Island requests $1,100,000 in State funds to partially support the replacement of Mercer Island
Police Department’s aging Marine Patrol vessels, a regional asset for the individuals who reside and recreate on Lake
Washington.
The Mercer Island Police Department has maintained a state-certified Marine Patrol Unit since it was founded in 1982.
At its founding, the unit became a regional asset as other cities on Lake Washington signed Interlocal Agreements for
marine-related services for their respective cities. Today, the Mercer Island Police Department has Interlocal
Agreements with the cities of Medina, Bellevue, and Renton and the Towns of Yarrow Point and Hunts Point for their
water-based services. Mercer Island is also part of a larger regional public safety umbrella comprised of the Seattle
Police Department’s Harbor Patrol, King County Sheriff’s Office Marine Patrol, and the Washington State Department of
Fish and Wildlife. Lake Washington is a federal navigable waterway, and Mercer Island partners with the US Coast Guard
for enforcement and maritime-related rescue operations.
The Washington State Department of Licensing reports that more than 237,000 recreational marine vessels are
registered in the State of Washington. A study by the University of Washington indicates approximately 40,850
recreational marine vessels are registered in King County, with an additional 5,400 vessels from other counties moored
within King County. In 2021, over 1,800 new recreational marine vessels were purchased in King County. The other large
group of vessels, which is difficult to fully quantify, is the ever-growing number of human-powered watercraft such as
kayaks, canoes, and stand-up paddleboards, representing an additional and particularly at-risk portion of the recreating
public in Mercer Island’s jurisdiction.
Since its inception, the Mercer Island Marine Patrol Unit has dedicated its resources to public safety, education,
maritime law enforcement, and public assistance on and off the water. The Police Department has 22 certified Marine
Patrol Officers, able to respond twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, to emergency and routine calls for service.
Marine Patrol Officers patrol the waters of Lake Washington and the approximate 34 miles of shoreline comprising its
operational jurisdiction. Officers respond to emergency calls for vessel collisions, search and rescue missions, vessel,
and shore accessible fire suppression, boating under the influence, and more routine calls such as disabled vessels,
debris, and hazard removal.
Mercer Island, Marine Patrol vessels spend approximately 900 hours on patrol, which equates to more than 2,000
officer hours on the water. Marine Patrol Officers conduct 200-250 Vessel Safety Inspections, 300 plus vessel stops and
contacts, 100 assists, and 100s of citizen contacts each year. In the off-season, the Marine Unit participates in a wide
range of educational outreach through kindergarten water safety classes, public safety events, marine/boat shows, and
news/radio/podcast interviews. The Marine Unit supports the safety and security of significant state infrastructure,
including the I-90 and SR-520 Bridges, Renton Municipal Airport, and the Sound Transit light rail system.
Mercer Island’s current patrol vessel fleet consists of three vessels, two built in the 1990s and one in the early 2000s.
With a life expectancy of approximately 20 years, two of these marine patrol vessels are experiencing increasing
mechanical and other failures, challenging our important mission to provide critical water safety services and
enforcement. Advancements in marine technology make newly purchased vessels safer, more ergonomic, and more
reliable than our current fleet.
This request for legislative funding will support the replacement of one to two vessels and the associated equipment.
Washington State manufacturers and laborers will design and build new vessels, putting the funds directly back into our
local communities. 190
AGENDA ITEM 9.1
2023 State Legislative Priorities
Support for Housing Availability
The City supports a proactive, collaborative, and fiexible approach that creates new tools, incentives, and
revenues that cities can use to help increase housing supply and address affordability. Priorities include:
• The City supports solutions that enhance already successful state and regional programs such as
A Regional Coalition for Housing (ARCH), serving cities in east King County since 1992.
• The City encourages the legislature to review the impacts of E2SHB 1220 in collaboration with local
jurisdictions to ensure the legislation will produce housing for all income levels.
Funding for Basic Infrastructure and Capital Projects
The City supports legislation that provides funding to help cities flnance basic infrastructure such as
water, sewer, stormwater, parks, transportation, and green infrastructure projects. Priorities include:
a. Fully funding the Public Works Assistance Account and refraining from fund transfers or diversions.
b. Supporting the once in a generation $7.5 million Luther Burbank Park Waterfront and Dock
Replacement Project by fully funding the following grant programs:
• Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program (WWRP) Water Access grant: $1.5 million funding
request, project is ranked 7 out of 10.
• Boating Facilities Program (BFP): $1 million funding request, application is in process.
• Aquatic Lands Enhancement Account (ALEA) grant: $500,000, project is ranked 2 out of 4.
c. Supporting the $2 million Luther Burbank Park Boiler Building Renovation Project by fully
funding the Heritage Capital Grant Program: $500,000 funding request, project ranked 22 out of 30.
Preserving and Protecting the Environment
It is essential to preserve and protect the environment today and for future generations with equity
in mind. The City encourages legislation, partnerships, and funding that incentivizes and supports clean
energy, carbon reduction and the implementation of potential climate action plan programs, including
but not limited to heat pump adoption and electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
Support for Mental and Behavioral Health Services
The City is committed to providing access to quality mental and behavioral health services through the
Youth & Family Services Department. Continued state funding is needed to help communities provide
options for individuals suffering from behavioral health issues. Priorities include:
• Funding to expand and enhance community-based behavioral health services, including mental
health, substance use disorder, and dual diagnosis treatment facilities.
• Supporting resources for certification and training to increase the number of behavioral health
professionals available to the community.
Policing for a Safe Mercer Island
The City encourages legislation and resources to ensure a safe community for residents, businesses, and
visitors. Priorities include:
• Supporting clarification around the ability for law enforcement to conduct effective and safe
vehicle pursuits using a reasonable suspicion standard in speciflc circumstances when there is an
immediate threat to public safety.
• Requesting clarification around the crime of possessing a controlled substance so that individuals,
law enforcement, and treatment providers can respond appropriately.
• The City of Mercer Island State-certifled Marine Patrol Unit was founded in 1982 and provides marine
patrol services to Medina, Bellevue, Renton, Yarrow Point, and Hunts Point for their water -based
services with just three vessels. Two of the vessels are near the end of their useful life and the City is
seeking funding for the $1.1 million in estimated replacement costs.
