ITEM G-1 CITY OF MEDINA 501 Evergreen Point Road, Medina, WA 98039 (425) 233-6410 www.medina-wa.gov MEMORANDUM DATE: March 19, 2007 TO: City Council, City Manager FROM: Joe Willis Sr., Director of Public Works RE: Report on City Hall Repair/Expansion Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council direct staff to pursue one of the three presented repair/expansion study options, and direct the City Manager to authorize Johnston Architects (Consultants) to begin Phase II work corresponding to the option selected, as per the terms of their Council -approved Contract, dated September 13, 2006. As per Contract, cost of the next phase of work (see Attachment 1) will range from $18,462 to $55,488, depending on the repair/construction option selected. Background The preliminary report on City Hall and a possible expansion prepared by Johnston Architects, entitled Medina City Hall Building Survey was provided to the Council in February 2007. The professional services contract with Johnston Architects contains two areas of work to be accomplished. The first area of the consultants' work included a condition survey of the existing building, formulation of recommendations for the correction of deficiencies, and the preparation of drawings and specifications for the correction work. The second area of the consultants' work includes design development for proposed additions including needs study, conceptual designs and drawings with specific recommendations, estimated costs, information presentations, and, upon approval, preparation of drawings and specifications for the project and oversight of the work. At this point, the architect has completed the building survey, formulated recommendations and preliminary cost estimates for the repairs which included several recommended options for the correction work (Phase 1). When reviewing the evaluation team report, close attention should be paid to the existing city hall condition and recommendations for its repairs and the correction of deficiencies. Initial comments during the Council meeting of February 121" indicated that while the repairs of the existing building are endorsed by the Council, the overall costs for the renovation and the proposed 25 foot expansion seem excessive and should be paired ITEM G-1 down or, at the very least, reviewed for cost saving options. Recognizing that preliminary cost estimates are only a gage of what the bidding market price may be for a given scope of work at a specific point in time based upon an expert's opinion, the estimates in this instance should only be utilized as a tool for discussion and comparison of the options. It is too early in the process to define all of the various facets of the work involved to accurately estimate the scope of the work or its ultimate cost when we have not defined all of the work to be accomplished. When considering the various scopes of work (Study Options) presented in the consultants' report, the first scope of work option should be considered a must. The second option adds work that a prudent individual would be expected to add to not just repair the structure but improve the life -safety aspects of the building. The third scope of work option provides one alternative method of expansion to the building to address space needs, improve access, work areas, and improve building support functions. Scope of Work (Study) Options Scope of Work Option 1, with an estimated cost of $ 435,845, addresses identified problems and basic life -safety concerns. It includes repairs to the existing building siding, deck, weather sealing, heating and ventilation, plumbing, electrical and fire alarm systems, and includes minor renovations to the building envelope to upgrade its structural integrity (primarily at building beam connections, the roof support structure, and those areas where exterior repair work is needed). Scope of Work Option 2, with an estimated cost of $ 758,503 includes all Option 1 costs plus additional costs to address seismic and life -safety needs by installing foundation anchors, added interior shear wall construction to resist seismic collapse, a fire sprinkler system, and an upgrade of the building lighting and emergency power circuits. Both of the above scope of work option cost estimates for the identified repairs and renovations include architect design fees and contingency funds to arrive at an overall project cost that includes project development, and contingency estimates above and beyond the estimated construction costs. Scope of Work Option 3 includes Options 1 and 2 costs as well as the cost to construct a 25 foot extension of both the basement and the main floor levels on the north end of the building for a total addition of 1875 square feet. The estimated cost of $1,806,199 adds 875 square feet of floor area to each of two levels (not attic level); adds an elevator for two levels in the existing building for access (not attic level); replaces support columns in basement to allow optimum use of space, and completes interior renovation work to maximize the use of the building. It should be noted that continuing to have staff occupy the attic level with no elevator, emergency exit or fire sprinkler system is not a desirable situation. An alternative to provide for the attic emergency exit and to gain usable space in the existing building is to explore an expansion of the existing attic space using a dormer or gable system, adding elevator access to the top floor, and adding an emergency exterior stairway exit. The architect's quick analysis of this option presented in the ITEM G-1 attached graphic images does not substantially alter the character of the building while adding 570 square feet of floor area. The estimated cost for this alternative is approximately $ 200,000. Conclusion The architect has done an excellent job in identifying immediate building needs, and while the expansion alternative plan presented in the report requires refinement, I believe the expansion will not only provide needed space but will also allow for better space utilization. The concept of selecting a maximum budget for the City Hall repairs and renovation and then backing into a construction option fails to recognize that the existing building requires repairs and if improvements are accomplished in the same project, they can be completed at less cost, actually decrease energy usage, improve the building function, and provide needed space to support City functions. Upon completion, the City Hall should not make a statement to the community that is pretentious but one that emphasizes historical importance and regard for the public trust. If staffs recommendation is approved, the Consultant will work with City staff and proceed with the design development for the building renovation and expansion without compromising the existing building fagade or character that is to include the necessary building repairs and life -safety improvements and address the space needs, improve access, work areas, and building support functions. Following staff input and upon completion of schematic drawings the Consultant is to provide the most cost effective and efficient floor plan to the Council for consideration. ATTACHMENT 1 j 0 H N 5 T C N August 30, 2006 Mr. Joe Willis Director of Public Works City of Medina 501 Evergreen Point Rd - Medina WA 98039 Dear Joe: A R C H i T E C T S I'm enclosing, per our recent discussions, a three -tiered proposal for the Medina City Hall project. The breakdown is as follows: Phase One includes the cost to perform the buHding survey. Phase Two is the cost to produce documents for the existing building upgrade based on the information recommended in the survey report. Phase Three is the cost to produce construction documents for the building addle lore. This proposal is using budget amounts which we have also previously discussed. The total budget, Including survey and design fees, for Phases One and Two is $150,000. The total budget, also Including complete design fees, for Phase Three is $500,000. For projects of this type, Washington State Fee Guidelines recommends 10.58% of total construction cost as a fee recommendation. This includes architectural, structural, mechanicalfelectrical fees. I'm using this fee percentage for Phase Three. For Phase Two, the Fee guidelines allow for an additional two percentage points of fee for remodel work, so I'm proposing a 12.58% fee for the remodel phase of the work. I've broken down the fee structure below. Please note: Each phase of fees beyond the initial Phase One are tentative; at the completion of each phase it will be necessary to have a follow-up discussion in order to verify that the estimated costs noted in this proposal continue to be relevant, I've attached a cost estimating round for the remodel and addition phases.

Given the residential nature of the project scope, typically a civil engineer isn't required. The state fee guidelines consider civil fees to be outside the scope of the recommended percentage. If site work Is limited to the addition of the building itself and minimal grading is associated, site costs can be kept to a minimum and should be simply considered part of the overall cost of construction. In the interest of economy, Johnston Architects can assist in the development of landscaping plans to reflect and complement the existing site. landscaping. Mary Johnston is a certified Master Gardener and we also have a staff member who holds a degree In Landscape Architecture, and we often produce our own in-house documents for landscaping. Please call to discuss any of these items.

There are a number of steps in this process including, but not limited to: definition of the conversion limits, method of financing, public relations, public hearings, project design, preliminary cost estimate, contract plan preparation and bid, award of contract, interim financing, construction coordination, completion of construction with final costs, allocation of the final costs. ESTIMATED CONVERSION COSTS Puget Sound Energy (PSE) conversion is governed by rules and regulations established by the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission. Under Tariff G Schedule 74 the conversion of PSE's overhead electric distribution system to comparable underground distribution system for government entities allocates the cost for the conversion to PSE as 60% of all shared conversion costs and to the City 40% of all shared conversion costs (excluding surveying, trenching, excavation and restoration costs which are 100% City cost, single-family service line conversions which are customer costs, street lighting which is an additional cost, and any other utility conversion costs such as telephone and cable). The attached synopsis of a PSE Conversion Design and Construction Agreement briefly describes the project responsibilities, development steps and cost allocation. Amplification of the various steps and responsibilities will be discussed later. The ballpark cost to underground approximately 50,000 feet of overhead power lines in Medina's public right-of-way as estimated by PSE is $12 M. Of this $12 M, the City share would be $ 4.8 M. When you add the cost of surveying, trenching, excavation and restoration (estimated between $100 per lineal foot for shoulder areas to $300 per lineal foot for sidewalk replacement for an estimated cost of $10 Page 1 of 1 ITEM G-2 M) and the cost to install new street light poles and luminaries where power poles are removed at an estimated cost of $ 5,000 per light, the City Grand Total Cost is just over $ 15 M, which does not include costs associated with the other utilities. According to a Comcast Cable representative, the cost to convert their overhead cables to underground (when the project is a City Capital Improvement Project) would be accomplished in conjunction with the new trenching for the power conduits and they would provide the conduit, install new wires, and complete the customer connections. METHODS OF ALLOCATING COSTS ]RED Under a Local Improvement District (LID) whether it is formed by petition or resolution, the method of allocating the cost is by determining the benefit to each of the properties within the defined benefit district. The benefit must be an amount equal to or better than the assessment to be levied against the property. In the case of utility conversions this generally is the value derived from improved view(s) and in some cases can extend to adjacent uphill properties. Since a majority of the affected land owners as determined by assessed valuation must approve the LID, it should not be undertaken unless there is sufficient.public support for the project. The LID process is complex and adds administrative costs to a project to determine the benefit and to assign it to the various properties (the attached City of Bainbridge Island Local Improvement District Checklist briefly describes the steps and responsibility assignments associated with this form of cost allocation). Under the LID scenario, the individual customer services must by necessity also be underground. The customers are required to replace their overhead service to an underground feed and house connection at their own expense. Costs for their private service work vary according to the amount of electrical work required to convert their overhead service to an underground feed and the length of the new underground service (typically $2,500 to $5,000). Private individual initiated LID conversion projects (not an identified City CIP project) are accomplished under a different PSE tariff wherein the cost of conversion is allocated to the private individual property owners at 100% of the cost. Similarly, the cost to convert the other utilities is also at the property owner's expense. CITY WIDE BOND ISSUE Financing of a utility conversion by voter approved bond issue will require prompt Council action in order for the ballot measure to go to the voters in the next Statewide Primary. May 29th was confirmed by the City Clerk to be the last day for filling a ballot resolution. Page 2 of 2 ITEM G-2 According to Interim City Manager Roger Crum's bond issue calculations provided to the Council in the February 12t" Council packet under the City Managers Report, the added annual property tax increase for a $ 1 Million valuation home to pay for a $ 15 M bond issue would be $487 per year over 20 years. ANNUAL CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS Segments of utility conversions may be accomplished on a project by project basis within identified City revenue resources. In this scenario, the conversion project would be incorporated into street reconstruction project when adopting the City's 6-year Capital Improvement Program and would be funded during the annual budget process. This method of conversion will mean that street reconstruction (when undertaken) while more costly, will be more coordinated and easier to locate or relocate utilities in the design and construction process. The downside is that street reconstruction projects are few and far between and are seldom adjacent to each other. PROJECT IMPACT CONSIDERATIONS In the utility conversion project design phase, the issue of where to place the new underground utility within the rights -of -way is a primary concern. The new conduits should not be located near existing water, natural gas, or sanitary sewer lines. Appurtenances associated with each utility such as junction boxes, vaults transformers, and handholes require locations that are readily accessible for maintenance. In general, a utility corridor is defined that is at least four feet wide with additional area behind the corridor defined for junction boxes and vaults. In some cases the added area for the appurtenances requires placement of them on private property which in turn requires an easement from the property owner which must be secured before the work can begin. In Medina, most of the streets have fully developed rights -of -way; driving lanes, walkways or pathways, landscaping, etc. Construction of the new utility corridor will disrupt traffic, disturb existing street improvements, and impact both public and private landscaping. While these impacts can be minimized, they will need to be addressed on a case by case basis. Some forethought however should be given to the establishment of Street Standards that define the ultimate character and desired function of the streets by classification (residential, collector, arterial, etc.). NEXT STEPS Should the Council desire to move forward with a City Wide undergound conversion concept, a financial advisor and bond council should be hired to advise the Council. After the financial implications are considered, public communications and input should be discussed and if deemed sufficient to warrant further action, consideration may be made for a ballot measure. Page 3 of 3 ITEM G-2 Should the Council decide that there is insufficient public support or that City Wide financing is not advisable, individual utility conversion projects to be accomplished within City resources may be considered on a project by project basis when adopting the City's 6-year Capital Improvement Program and funded during the annual budget process. Page 4 of 4 City of Medina AGENDA STATEMENT AGENDA ITEM TITLE: MEETING DATE: DATE THIS ITEM WAS LAST CONSIDERED BY COUNCIL: ITEM G-3 View and Sunlight Ordinance March 26, 2007 February 12, 2007 SUMMARY OF ISSUE/TOPIC: During my February 12, 2007 department report I highlighted an issue with Chapter 18.16 — "Trees — View and Sunlight Obstruction." I reported that City Staff have frequently encountered the misperception amongst Medina citizens that this ordinance is enforced by the City. In fact, it is advisory only. After a brief discussion, the City Council directed staff to prepare an ordinance that repeals the ordinance. If the ordinance is repealed, staff will use the City newsletter to periodically send the message that the City encourages residents to resolve tree, view and sunlight issues through neighborly discussion.

POLICY IMPLICATION: The general policy direction of the plan is consistent with the Medina Shoreline Management Master Program. The plan discusses some habitat enhancements not presently required by the Master Program but these enhancements are voluntary according to the plan. BACKGROUND: In 1999, the Chinook ("King") Salmon was listed under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). This prompted the formation of the Water Resource Inventory Area (WRIA) 8 Forum body with the mission of developing a Chinook Salmon conservation plan for the Lake Washington / Cedar / Sammamish watershed area. Funding was provided through an interlocal agreement between the City of Medina and 26 other jurisdictions within the watershed. That interlocal agreement was intended for development of the plan and covered the period of 2001 through 2005. During the first interlocal agreement, the WRIA 8 Steering Committee oversaw development of the plan and various scientific analyses. The science has identified three different populations of Chinook salmon in the resource area: the Cedar River, North Lake Washington and the Issaquah populations. While the critical spawning activity occurs in streams in these areas, Medina's shoreline plays a potential role in the migratory and rearing aspects of the salmon lifecycle. The final conservation plan comprises three volumes. It is very lengthy but the entire plan as well as an executive summary can be accessed online -- http://dnr.metrokc.gov/wdas/8. The Medina City Council last discussed this initiative on April 25, 2005. At that time the City Council directed staff to write a letter of support to the WRIA 8 Forum which, along with similar actions by each of the other member jurisdictions, led to ratification of the plan in 2005. The issue is coming back to the City Council at this time because a new interlocal agreement is necessary to implement the plan. The agreement is attached as Item G-4b. The new agreement would cover a nine-year period. The agreement will be retroactive to January 1, 2007 because the requisite initial nine jurisdictions have already approved it pursuant to section 3. Under the agreement each of the ITEM G-4a 27 member jurisdictions would share in the cost of the Service Provider team, which comprises five to ten staff members. The annual process of approving the Service Provider's operating budget and the cost sharing between the members is stipulated in section 4.2.1 of the agreement. The Cost Share table is attached as Item G-4c. It uses the variables of total assessed valuation, land area, and population as factors in arriving at the assessment for each individual jurisdiction. For Medina the annual assessment would be $2,764. The agreement calls for a reexamination of these calculations every three years. While the plan stresses that the science is evolving and that strategies will have to adapt to the results of monitoring, it does identify three categories of conservation actions: 1) land use, planning, and infrastructure, 2) site -specific habitat protection, and 3) public outreach and education. Site -specific projects are not proposed for Medina because Medina's shoreline is almost entirely single-family residential and plays a migratory role. Furthermore, the direction of the plan is to make all of the land use / infrastructure actions voluntary. Public outreach actions, of course, do not involve any loss of development rights. In conclusion, the proposed plan does not represent a significant encumbrance for Medina or its citizens. From a liability standpoint, it appears that support for the WRIA 8 plan is the best action for the City. The Federal Environmental Protection Agency has not produced any other type of model ordinance to give local governmental jurisdictions a clear route to ESA compliance. Chapter 8 of the plan — Expectations and Commitments for Plan Implementation -- discusses the hypothetical process of a local government jurisdiction committing to certain conservation actions in exchange for indemnity from the federal government. While this is an attractive idea, the chapter makes it clear that no such agreements have been made by the federal agencies. The City Attorney has read and approved the agreement.
