The 2012 Medina Police Department (MPD) Operational Plan represents the collaborative effort of MPD
employees to identify goals and prioritize our work activities for the next year. The plan includes goals,
objectives, strategies, and performance measures. The plan is intended to be used by all department
employees to help them prioritize work, focus on objectives, and help us to evaluate our performance
over the coming year. Our 2012 goals are:
1. Enhance department results in fighting crime and maintaining public safety
2. Ensure MPD employs recognized best practices and meets the highest standards of
professional policing
3. Strengthen partnerships with the community
MPD experienced and overcame numerous changes in 2011 as we worked together to enhance the
services we provide to the citizens of Medina and Hunts Point. As the MPD moves forward in the
coming years, it will take the collective work of our talented staff to collaborate with our community and
citizens, to address emerging law enforcement and security concerns. There remain many challenges
and opportunities to enhance plans and programs that will benefit our residents. MPD will achieve
success through working with partners both inside and outside the city.
Sincerely,
Chief Mark Thomas

Anticipated Workload and Population Trends
The population and traffic patterns in Medina and Hunts Point are expected to remain
relatively constant in 2012 resulting in a similar overall workload for the Medina Police
Department. In 2011 there was a significant increase in property crimes in both Medina
and Hunts Point, while violent crimes decreased from already exceptionally low
numbers. Calls for service have remained low allowing officers significant time for
proactive patrols. Proactive patrol activities designed to impact crime and enhance
traffic safety will consume available resources regardless of call volume and crime
investigations.
Anticipated Staffing Levels
The authorized staffing level of nine commissioned officers and two support positions is
expected to be sufficient to meet the needs of the city, and for the department to
accomplish its goals in 2012. There is currently one vacancy for an officer that has
been vacant for all of 2011. The position is expected to be filled in 2012.
The 2012 budget for overtime is $85,000. This amount is less than the actual average
expenditures over the last several years, but is expected to be sufficient to meet the
department's requirements. Overtime is most commonly used to ensure at least one
Medina Police Officer is on duty 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Overtime is the
most efficient means to fill the inconsistent additional needs for officers. While
increased full time staff would enhance the overall safety and security of the community,
it would not completely eliminate the need for overtime due to unanticipated short notice
requirements.
Anticipated Capital Improvements and Equipment Needs
Funding support for the police department has been outstanding and has resulted in a
department that is well staffed and equipped. The police department is fortunate to
have an outstanding office facility that meets all the needs of the department. The
police department needs to maintain current funding levels to replace one police
department vehicle per year.
0
In the coming years, significant equipment costs are expected to be incurred for the
city's camera system and the department's command vehicle. The 2012 budget
provides $250,000 for additions or upgrades to the camera system. A multi -year work
plan will be completed in 2012 to suggest the timing and total cost for an integrated
system that can be implemented in multiple phases. Funding for 2012 will be adequate
for the first phase of the plan. It is anticipated that a relatively constant yearly funding for
the system will be requested starting in 2013 that provides for the lifecycle cost to
maintain the expanded system. The 2012 budget provides $5,000 for the maintenance
and replacement of equipment on the command vehicle. It is anticipated that with the
increasing age of the vehicle and its equipment, that the budgeted amount will not be
sufficient to cover the needs of the vehicle. Current repairs or replacement needs for
the vehicle exceed the total yearly budget for the vehicle, and it is unlikely that there will
be sufficient grant funds available to absorb repair costs.

City of Medina — Medina Park: Water Quality Testing and Nutrient Mitigation Proposal
P.O. Box 3005
Lynnwood, WA 98046
Tel: (206) 462-0608
www.aouatechnex.com
The City of Medina has in its possession a jewel located in the southern region of the city known
as Medina Park. The Park -Medina Park combines two ponds, walking paths, and large open
grassed areas to create a natural and aesthetically pleasing setting for residents to enjoy. Medina
Park's two ponds have many issues associated with urban storm water systems.
The two ponds located in the heart of the park are approximately .75 acre and 1.5 acres in size,
with an average depth range of 4-6ft. The two ponds provide a runoff water catchment and
detention of approximately 177 acres of developed urban area. They are hydraulically connected
through a central stream and the flow rate is controlled through an adjustable weir system. Water
exiting the ponds flows through a channel for approximately 2,000 linear feet and discharges into
Lake Washington.
Due to the high volume of nutrients flowing into the ponds from the surrounding water shed,
water quality has become of concern. The effects of high nutrient content within the ponds can
be seen by the presence of algae blooms, and the buildup of organic material. Phosphorus is a
limiting nutrient in plant and algal growth, and high phosphorus levels are an indication of poor
water quality. The primary focus of this document is to provide a detailed description of work
and estimated costs associated with implementing a water quality testing program,
recommendations for basin management strategies, and evaluating treatment alternatives.
Water Quality Testing Program
AquaTechnex can provide accredited laboratory testing for use in water quality analysis. In order
to identify possible pollutants suspected of contributing to the poor water quality of the Medina
Park ponds. We recommend a Water Quality Baseline and sediment analysis. Within a Water
Quality Sampling Program, sampling is to be conducted early in the spring season before
nutrients become tied up in vegetative growth. A water quality analysis will allow for a full
profile of the pond's current operating status. Secondary testing is recommended to take place at
the conclusion of each season a treatment plan is implemented. We further recommend that
testing be conducted annually in order to properly track changes in water quality. This form of a
water quality testing program will provide applicable numbers in identifying contributors of poor
water quality, provide necessary information in developing management strategies, and aid in
evolving the long term goals of improving the overall water quality of the Medina Park ponds.
As past testing has identified that high phosphorus levels have attributed to the poor water
quality of the Medina Park ponds, the Water Quality sampling program we recommend includes
a full spectrum phosphorus analysis with the intention of providing all necessary data with which
to develop phosphorus mitigating treatment plans. A Water Quality Baseline testing analysis
tests for alkalinity, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, hardness, free reactive phosphorus, total
phosphorus, and turbidity. The sediment testing will indicate the total phosphorus present in the
pond sediment. Testing will include one water sample and one sediment sample per pond or per
sample location. Costs associated with suggested testing for the Medina Park ponds total
$992.00. Additional testing of inflow and outflow water quality is also available upon request.
See table 1 for further description of tasks and costs associated.
Treatment Alternatives
Upon the review of the water quality testing results we recommend utilizing nutrient
sequestering treatments to improve water quality in the Medina Park ponds. The removal of
excess nutrients can allow for the proper functionality of the storm water ponds. Only those
treatments that have proven effective in sequestering the nutrients that come under question will
be employed. All listed treatments under consideration are further dependent on receiving
coverage under the NPDES permit due to the continuous outflow of the ponds into waters
of the state. Treatments conducted on non -state waters must have the outflow restricted for
two weeks post -treatment to mitigate coverage under the permit. Costs associated with
obtaining coverage under the NPDES permit total $2000.00. (Nutrient mitigating treatments
are not covered under the NPDES phase H permitting for storm water retention ponds that
continually discharge into waters of the state)
Phosphorus locking technology (Phoslock)
Phoslock, phosphorus locking technology, is a technology proven around the world in its ability
to permanently remove phosphorus from a water body and stem the internal reloading of
phosphorus from the sediment. Phoslock contains lanthanum, a naturally occurring earth element
embedded in a bentonite clay matrix. Phoslock is produced through a patented ion exchange
process where the lanthanum ions displace sodium ions within the clay. This process allows for
lanthanum to be absorbed into a non -toxic carrier while retaining its ability to react preferentially
with phosphorus once applied to the water body. Phoslock is applied to the surface of the body
through a slurry mixture. While moving through the water column, Phoslock permanently binds
the Free Reactive Phosphorus resulting in a stable non -toxic mineral that becomes an inert
component of the sediment and is no longer bio-available. As Phoslock settles along the bottom
of the pond, a layer is formed on top of the sediment creating a phosphorus cap of the hydra -soil.
This cap continues to bind phosphorus released from the sediment stemming internal re -loading
of phosphorus. The Phoslock cap also continues to bind incoming phosphorus from the
watershed until all available lanthanum is bound. This continuous binding of phosphorus is
another way in which Phoslock becomes a cost effective approach to phosphorus mitigation.
There is no known toxicity to aquatic life. Phoslock is unique in that it allows for calculable
removal of known phosphorus levels. One can determine the amount of phosphorus present and
calculate the exact amount of Phoslock needed to remove it. Labor and mobilization costs total
$1,500.00. Rates and product costs associated with a Phoslock treatment are dependent on water
quality testing. (Conducting a rough price estimate results in a price range from $2,000.00 to
$8,000.00 to treat both ponds)
Aluminum Sulfate (Alum)
Treatments utilizing Alum are a known to be effective in removing phosphorus from water
bodies and as a water clarifier. Upon application Alum takes the form of Aluminum hydroxide
which is visible in the water as a white floc. In this form, the Aluminum hydroxide binds with
phosphorus creating a compound insoluble in water and unavailable as food for vegetative
growth. Alum has a tendency to bind with other particles in the water resulting in a clarifying
affect. As the resulting floc settles and becomes incorporated within the sediment, binding of
phosphorus continues until all available Alum has been bound. Alum does hold a few
stipulations in that during an application continuous monitoring of pH levels are required as
shifts in pH may result in water quality issues and require the application of a buffering agent.
Costs associated with buffering agent are fully dependent upon water quality analysis and Alum
dosage. Future shifts in pH can also result in re-release of bound phosphorus. This is rare but
known to have occurred. Labor and mobilization costs total $1,500.00. Rates and product costs
associated with an Alum treatment are dependent on water quality testing. (Conducting a rough
price estimate results in a price range from $1,125.00 to $5,000 to treat both ponds)
Lake Bacteria
Beneficial lake bacteria can be utilized to sequester minor amounts of nutrients as a long term
treatment option. Injections of naturally occurring lake bacteria can be used to maintain a
heightened bacterial population in order to aid the natural processing of excess nutrients and
organic material. As excess nutrients stimulate the overgrowth of aquatic vegetation, lake
bacteria can be used as a competitive biological agent. This program option is best utilized
during low -flowing months as a maintenance tool. If water quality tests result in a heightened
nutrient load then lake bacteria should be reserved as a secondary course of action to a
significant nutrient reducing treatment. A typical lake bacteria injection program conducted by
AquaTechnex staff requires three injections per year at a total cost of $2,120.00/year. If applied
by the City of Medina staff, product costs total $1,520.00. A 10% discount is applied to bulk
purchases of lake bacteria that are applied by the City of Medina. See table 1 for further
description of tasks and costs associated.
Basin Management Strategies
The suggested basin management strategies are geared toward improving overall water quality of
the Medina Park ponds and to improve the functionality of the catchment basin in reducing
possible pollutant discharge.
Riparian Buffer Improvements
The riparian buffer surrounding a water body provides vital filtering capabilities that can directly
impact water quality. Water flowing off the surrounding land can pick up nutrients, soil particles,
and varying forms of pollutants, carrying them directly into the water body. As water flows
through a properly functioning riparian buffer significant amounts of suspended solids are
removed, nutrients are utilized by the growing vegetation, and the flow rate is reduced stemming
agitated disruption of the pond sediment. The riparian buffer is also an important tool in reducing
shoreline erosion. As certain plant species can better retain shoreline soils, others can displace
the soil encouraging further erosive processes. Improvements can be made over time as part of
an overall basin improvement plan. AquaTechnex can provide consultation on riparian
improvements, as well as aid in developing future riparian improvement projects. Tasks and
costs associated will be proposed with future management plans.
Community education and outreach
An important step in improving our community's water ways is through community education
and outreach. Aquatechnex can provide annual meetings in which we address current water
quality issues facing the community, steps taken to improve water quality, and actions residents
can take to reduce pollutant runoff. Similarly, AquaTechnex staff can be available for
community sponsored events. We can develop distributable information that provides up to date
knowledge concerning the water quality and the aquatic sciences. We look to empower residents
to take action within their community when viewing potential water quality issues.
AquaTechnex has over twenty-five years of experience in providing quality pond and lake
management. The programs offered are designed to deliver applicable solutions to the ongoing
problems afflicting the Medina Park ponds. We are pleased to have the chance to present our
services to the City of Medina.

City of Medina — Lake Washington Shoreline Scope of Work and Associated Costs
Western Washington is fortunate enough to have such a rich diversity of natural resources. One
of the most cherished is the fresh water of Lake Washington. Like many fresh water bodies in
our area, Lake Washington has been dealing with invasive and nuisance aquatic weeds for some
time. One of the most well-known of these aquatic weeds is the invasive species known as
Eurasian Water Milfoil. This species alone can reproduce rapidly and inundate large areas very
quickly. Other species may be present and become a nuisance which can be identified upon
inspection. For the City of Medina and residents living along the Lake Washington shoreline,
overgrowth of aquatic vegetation can present a real problem when accessing the lake. Due to the
size of Lake Washington eliminating the problem would be impossible. For this reason alone it is
in the best interest of every shoreline resident to invest in an aquatic plant management plan. The
considered scope of work and associated costs for managing the Lake Washington shoreline
within the City of Medina is broken down into five tasks. Table 1 at the end of this document
summarizes all tasks and costs associated.
Task 1: Obtain Coverage under the NPDES permit
Lake Washington is considered waters of the state and coverage under the Washington State
NPDES permit is required. Once approved, AquaTechnex would be pleased to manage all
preparation and filing for coverage. Our cost to file and obtain coverage is $2000.00. This is a
one time cost. There is an annual renewal fee estimated to cost $440.00 due in the summer in
order to extend the permit coverage into the next year. It is our recommendation that coverage is
maintained each year even if treatment is not desired to avoid a repeat filing charge.
The application for permitting is first filed through the Department of Ecology secure access
system. All components of the treatment sites or possible treatment sites, along with a site
review, are submitted to the DOE. A legal notice of intent to treat must be run twice in a local
newspaper. During the time between publications, the legal notice must be hand delivered or
mailed to all businesses and residents along the shoreline within a quarter mile of the proposed
treatment areas. At the end of the second publication of the legal notice a public comment period
begins and lasts thirty days. When the public comment period has expired DOE will issue
coverage, assuming any valid reasons to deny it. The minimum time between filing the permit
and obtaining coverage is 60 days.
For all proposed coverage areas of five or more acres, a Discharge Management Plan (DMP)
must be developed. This document outlines all characteristics of the water body, as well as all
treatment options. This document is developed separately from the above requirements, but
must be included when filing for coverage. The costs for the development of the DMP total
$500.00. Costs cover time required for developing and submitting this plan.
Task 2: Aquatic plant Survey and Reporting
AquaTechnex staff will conduct a systematic survey of the permitted area early in the growing
season when plant growth is such that proper plant identification is possible. The entire littoral
zone of the permitted area will be inspected noting the overall plant community and key
components. This is followed by a systematic survey of the plant community using a weed rake.
Plant community characteristics will be documented and will include species collected and
relative abundance. All gathered information will be incorporated into the survey GIS database.
A written report and map will be generated noting identified plant communities and their
locations. All agreed upon treatment options will be applied to the survey generating a treatment
plan. An end of year survey is conducted as well to assess treatment performance and denote any
changes needed to the management program. This methodology includes the minimum required
surveying options in order to produce a lawfully abiding and effective treatment plan. Costs for
the survey and time necessary to produce the report total $1500.00.
Our team has continually upgraded and invested in state of the art Differential Global Positioning
System (DGPS) receivers and data loggers. The Trimble GeoXT we currently use allows us to
build a data dictionary with the plant species and density information prior to going into the
field. It also allows us to upload the aerial imagery and project files from ArcView so we can see
and manage our data collection on the water. We can also accurately record the location of the
plants as a point, polygon or line and link species and density attributes to those features. The
information is then processed into the Trimble Pathfinder software and the software performs
differential correction on the data. This provides sub -meter accuracy of the data collected. We
can then build shape -files which can be imported directly into ArcView. This allows us to build
maps that are extremely accurate very rapidly, which are important in the treatment decision
making process. The tools we use minimize costs for labor in terms of building maps and
reporting due to their extreme efficiency.
Task 3: Distribution of Required Public Notices
Before a treatment takes place, two notices must be distributed. These public notices are specific
to an upcoming treatment. The first is the Business and Residential notice that is delivered to all
businesses and residences along the shoreline within 1/ mile of the treatment area. Notices are
delivered 10-42 days before the first treatment of the season takes place. The second notice is
posted along the shoreline of the treatment area on the actual day of treatment. This shoreline
notice is placed approximately every 100 feet along the shoreline within the treatment area and
extends 400 feet outside of the treatment areas.
The first notice, the Business and Residential Notice, is distributed once and includes all
products and proposed treatment dates for the season. As long the treatments for the season do
not deviate from what is in the B&R notice there will be no need to repeat this notification until
next year. The shoreline notice will have to be posted for each treatment which may take place.
The cost for distributing the Business and Residential notice will be $150.00. The cost for
placing the shoreline notice will be $100.00 for each treatment which takes place.
Task 4: Treatment Options
The following are options provided for the purpose of herbicidal control of invasive species such
as Eurasian Water-milfoil, Curly -leaf Pondweed, and Brazilian Elodea:
Svstemic Herbicide - Eurasian Water-milfoil
For the control of Eurasian Water-milfoil present along the Lake Washington shoreline within
the City of Medina we recommend treatment be conducted using a granular formulation of the
active ingredient Triclopyr under the product name Renovate OTF. This is a systemic herbicide
which has proven very effective in treating milfoil in areas of high water exchange and dilution.
This product is absorbed, killing the entire plant including the root crown. Triclopyr is a broad
leaf specific herbicide and will target Eurasian Water-milfoil directly not affecting native plant
communities. All treated plants will be permanently removed from the system. Due to the nature
of Eurasian Water-milfoil and the characteristics of the water body, the risk of re -infestation is
high. Future treatments will likely be necessary. Costs for this method of treatment are
$3.00/shoreline foot (treatment will extend 150 feet from shore).
Contact Herbicide Treatment — Curly -leaf Pondweed and Brazilian Elodea
Use of contact herbicides will be highly effective in treating invasive species such as Curly -leaf
pondweed and Brazilian Elodea, which are not effected by Triclopyr. Curly -leaf pondweed and
Brazilian Elodea are known to inhabit this area of Lake Washington and the permit will allow for
a certain percentage of the shoreline (based on the total acreage of the lake) to be treated. We
recommend the use of the active ingredient Diquat. There would be a twenty-four hour swim
restriction within the treated area associated with this treatment. Costs associated with this
treatment are $2. 1 0/shoreline foot (treats 150 feet from shore).
Task 5: End -of -year reporting
There are two end -of -year reporting duties that AquaTechnex performs. One is to produce a
report submitted to the City of Medina summarizing the years tasks completed and the
effectiveness of all treatments performed. This report is standard for all AquaTechnex services
performed during a given year. The second report is required by the Department of Ecology
(DOE) summarizing all herbicidal treatments conducted. Costs associated for both reports total
$500.00/treatment year.

Critical Areas
The state guidelines require shoreline critical areas regulations to provide at least equal
protection as Chapter 18.12 MMC, plus they must provide a level of protection to ensure no net
loss of ecological functions. The current proposal simply takes the City's existing critical areas
regulations, cleans them up, and drops them into the draft. Clean-up included removing
provisions that conflict with the Shoreline Management Act and state guidelines such as the
provisions for Reasonable Use Exceptions (exceptions can only be granted by a shoreline
variance process).

• Requirements for replacement structures
• Establish repair threshold standard
• Mitigation requirements for new hard structures and additions to hard structures
What is the same?
• Remain a permitted use
• Prohibition on extending waterward of the ordinary high water line
General shoreline regulations
These are general requirements applicable to all new development.
What is new?
• No net loss analysis and mitigation sequencing
• Criteria for public access requirements
• New nonconforming structure protections for existing patios and decks
• Lighting requirements
• Clarification for in -water construction requirements
What is the same?
• Tree removal and replacement requirements
o Clarification added for dead trees and significant pruning actions
• Vegetation conservation within 50 feet of the shoreline
• Surface water/ water quality requirements
o Found in the stormwater regulations in Chapter 13.06
• Except as noted above, the treatment of nonconforming development
• Provisions for emergency actions (currently found in state law)

MEMORANDUM
To: PLANNING COMMISSION
From ROBERT J. GRUMBACH, AICP
Date: FEBRUARY 28, 2012
Subject: Executive Summary Draft Shoreline Master Program Update
The City is required to conduct a comprehensive update of its shoreline master program to be
consistent with the 2003 Shoreline Master Program Guidelines set forth in WAC 173-26. The
shoreline master program acts as an overlay and is applied in conjunction with other
development regulations, including zoning, stormwater, and the tree code. The draft document
updating the shoreline master program is based upon and incorporates provisions that
recognize existing shoreline development and ecological functions, priorities of Medina
shoreline homeowners, and established policies and measures intended to avoid further
degradation of key shoreline ecological functions. The following is an overview of what in the
draft proposal is new and what is the same.
No net loss
One of the governing principles required with the update is for the regulations to achieve no net
loss of ecological functions (WAC 173-26-186(8)). Simply stated, "no net loss" is designed to
halt the introduction of new impacts to the shoreline environment resulting from new
development that is authorized by the shoreline master program. Overall, it's a program that
measures key indicators to determine if a decline in ecological functions is occurring due to new
development. Individually, it's proportional mitigation for impacts caused by new development.
What is new?
The draft updating the shoreline master program contains throughout the policies and
regulations new measures and standards that are intended to avoid further loss of ecological
functions. In those situations where specific standards are not called out, analysis to determine
proper mitigation measures is used to avoid further loss of ecological functions.
What is the same?
While shoreline master programs have always incorporated requirements for protecting natural
elements of the shoreline environment, the application of a "no net loss" principle is new.
Shoreline environment designations
What is new?
• Aquatic (Lake Washington)
• Transportation (SR 520)
• Three private community tracts changed from Residential to Urban Conservancy
What is the same?
• Residential (name change from Urban)
• Urban Conservancy (name change from Recreational Conservancy)
Shoreline setbacks
The City's, shoreline setbacks are found in Chapter 17.38 MMC. They serve not only to protect
ecological functions, but preserve Medina's low -density residential shoreline character.
What is new?
• The 30-foot setback area has been divided into the following setback scheme:
0 30-foot setback with enhancements
0 30-foot setback with enhancements/ 50-foot setback without enhancements
0 30 to 50-foot stringline setback without enhancements
• The method for establishing the stringline was simplified
• Setback intrusions are identified and spelled -out
What is the same?
• 50-foot setback without enhancements
• 70 to 125-foot stringline setback without enhancements
Other shoreline lot and bulk standards
These are the standards that establish parameters on the development capacity of a piece of
land.
What is new?
• Minimum water frontage and lot width requirements
o Applied only to new divisions of land and lot line adjustments
o Does not create new nonconformity
• Maximum shoreline height requirements (zoning height standards usually are more
restrictive)
What is the same?
• Minimum lot sizes
• Maximum impervious surface standards
• Zoning standards not included in the shoreline master program (structural coverage,
setbacks, height, bonuses etc)
K:
Piers and docks
Nearly all of Medina's shoreline is built out. There are 186 piers and docks in Medina ranging in
size from 332 square feet of water surface area to 5,357 square feet of water surface area.
What is new?
• Expanded to allow one pier/ dock per lot instead of one per ownership
• Allow pier/ dock to be located off -site
• New dimensional and design standards with four potential approaches:
o New — based on RGP-3 (Corps of Engineer) standards and is applicable to lots
currently without piers or docks
o Existing — based on existing conditions with certain reductions to support no net
loss and is applicable to lots currently with piers or docks
o Alternative — based on Federal or State approved design and is applicable to any
lot
o Nonconforming — ok with what you have, but cannot abandon or increase
nonconformity
• Specific new dimensional and material standards
o Limits on overwater coverage
o Limits on walkway width
o Dimensional standards for ells and fingers on new piers and docks
o Minimum waterward distances for structures
• Clarification on method to measure pier/ dock length
• Mitigation requirements for new piers/ docks and new additions
• New threshold standards for modifications, and for repair and maintenance
o Additional nonconforming structure protections for changes that improve the
shoreline environment
What is the same?
• 100-foot maximum length for piers/ docks
• 12-foot side yard setbacks
• Pile heights
• Allowances for skirting
• Prohibition on walls and sheathing and lockers
Covered moorage and boatlifts
What is new?
• Limit of three boatlifts per dwelling (includes lifts for jet skis)
• Changed overwater coverage from 25% of moorage envelope to a fixed maximum of
500 square feet (750 square feet for shared)
• Method for establishing moorage triangle has been modified
• 30-foot waterward setback for structures
• Deleted 16-inch vertical roof dimension
• Changed materials from non -reflective to translucent
