Date: April 5, 2022 To: City Council From: Emily Guildner, City Attorney Subject: Approval of Amendment to Agreement with the Snohomish County Public

Defender Association for Indigent Defense SUMMARY: The purpose of this item is for the City Council to approve a proposed amendment to the professional services agreement with the Snohomish County Public Defender Association (SCPDA) for the provision of indigent public defense for the City’s defendants accused of misdemeanor crimes. Each year, the contract provides that the City and SCPDA review the number of City cases from the previous year and make any necessary adjustments. The proposed amendment is a two-year extension, through 2023. BACKGROUND: In 2014, the Council was briefed regarding both state and federal court decisions that demand local governments in Washington provide specific and measurable standards for the public defense of their indigent defendants. In the case of our City, these defendants are prosecuted by the City for misdemeanor and gross misdemeanor cases that are heard in Evergreen District Court in Monroe. The standards for indigent public defense reflected in the attached agreement effective January 1, 2015, are related only to those cases heard in district court. The two court decisions driving these standards are: State Supreme Court Order No. 25700-A-1004 (June 15, 2012) that establishes

caseload limits of 400 cases for each public defender, including those cases that may be a part of private practice criminal defense as well as those cases represented for indigent public defense; and

Federal Ninth Circuit Court ruling, Case 2:11-cv-0110-RSL (December 5, 2013) in the Wilbur v. Mount Vernon (the City of Burlington was a co-defendant) litigation that establishes detailed standards on a wide array of professional criteria used by the court to measure the quality of indigent public defense.

On December 1, 2020, the Council approved an amendment for fees in 2021 of $10,285.31 per month, or $123,423.72 annually.

ANALYSIS: The SCPDA is a non-profit corporation based in Everett. The five attorney units of the SCPDA provide defense services to persons charged with felonies in the superior court and misdemeanors in the district courts, to juveniles charged with offenses in the juvenile court, to persons facing mental health commitments, and to persons facing commitment as sexually violent predators. The proposed amendment to the existing contract with the SCPDA would: Provide the City with services equal to 50 percent of a full-time attorney and support

services. The cost for 2022 will be $9,662.00 per month, or $115,944.00 annually.


5

CONSENT ITEM 3a.

The cost for 2023 will be $10,145.00 per month, or $121,740.00 annually. These adjustments are a decrease in fees compared to the previous amendment approved in 2020. All other terms and conditions remain unchanged and the agreement is automatically extended for two-year terms unless terminated by the City or SCPDA. STRATEGIC PLAN REFERENCE: Not applicable RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council AUTHORIZE the Mayor to execute an amendment to the existing Professional Services Agreement with the Snohomish County Public Defender Association for the provision of indigent public defense to City misdemeanor defendants.

6. DISCUSSION ITEMS:

a. Law Enforcement Annual Report


18

CONSENT ITEM 3b.

Chief Palmer presented the Snohomish Police Department’s 2021 Annual Report after sharing a brief background of the law enforcement contract. He remarked seeing a return to “normal,” and nothing but progress for 2022. He explained a focus to bring a sense of calm to the Department and the City, and feels they have accomplished that and want to continue to do so. Chief Palmer shared a slideshow outlining some key points: City’s contract with SCSO for law enforcement services was renewed in 2021. Currently staffed at 19. The School Resource Officer was moved to the School

District and was no longer part of the City’s contract. Staffing was adequate to balance cost effectiveness versus what was experienced in

the City. Snohomish was unique in the County with its bar district on First Street and

numerous special events. Additional services provided by the SCSO, such as public disclosure, evidence,

animal control, K9, major crimes, and training. Addressing changes directed by recent legislation. Community outreach and connection, within pandemic restrictions. Number of calls related to behavior health crises and social worker.

Chief Palmer highlighted the Department’s 35% reduction in declined cases by the Prosecutor’s Office, citing attention to detail and adequate staffing to allow focus on finishing work and completing thorough investigations. Councilmember Ray inquired on Department representation on the Public Safety Commission, and efforts to expand Neighborhood Watch. Chief Palmer remarked on discussing staffing with the Mayor, and a willingness to assist with Neighborhood Watch programs, but not manage them. Councilmember Burke asked about officer training and certifications. Chief Palmer described new and on-going trainings, including those mandated by I-940, such as de-escalation, crisis intervention, first aid, firearm refresher courses, defensive tactics, and compliance holds. Councilmember Guzak questioned new laws regarding weapons at mass gatherings. Chief Palmer replied new legislation would prohibit or restrict open carry at government functions, and he could gather and provide more information. Public Comment: Alice Armstrong commented on vandalism in City parks. Morgan Davis suggested improvements to the Snohomish Police Department building. Tabitha Baty questioned increased assaults. M. Richardson commented on the Crisis Assistance Helping Out On The Streets (CAHOOTS) model used in Oregon. Public Comment Closed. Councilmember Guzak requested information on vandalism. Chief Palmer briefly touched on incidents of vandalism, and recommended utilizing tools such as security systems with alarms and video to help deter activity, but also to capture identifying


19

CONSENT ITEM 3b.

information. Councilmember Burke inquired on the use of CAHOOTS. Chief Palmer remarked the program was a great model, but overall more robust than what the City needed. The SCSO provided similar services to the Police Department through its Office of Neighborhoods and other resources.

b. 4th Quarter/Year-end Financial Report Mr. James presented a financial report for the 4th quarter, ending December 31, 2021. He shared year-to-date General Fund revenues and expenses, with comparisons to 2020. Law enforcement services were the largest expense, making up over 41% of overall General Fund expenses, which declined from 2020. He then shared sales tax revenues year-to-date, and reviewed other funds and investment portfolios. Councilmember Neals questioned opportunities to discuss staffing impacts to the budget. Mr. James responded the preliminary budget calendar was being developed and would incorporate time for discussion, perhaps a town hall format to solicit public input. He requested Council feedback on what they would like to see in the process. The process would help create a financial roadmap for the City, identify priorities, and highlight needs for staff positions such as the Public Works Director and in community engagement. Public Comment: Morgan Davis inquired on the percentage of ARPA funds provided to citizens. Public Comment Closed.

c. Utility Discount Analysis and Review

Mr. James presented information relating to the City’s utility discounts, showing senior and disabled person discount rates compared to neighboring cities. Snohomish was by far the highest at 75%, for owners and renters. Only PUD and Lake Stevens Sewer District offered a low income discount rate. Staff offered no recommendation on changes, as discounts were already very generous. The City had increased the discount from 50% to 75% in 2008. Public Comment: Morgan Davis remarked discounts did not include apartments. Public Comment Closed. Mayor Redmon asked, and Mr. James confirmed, that discounts were available to renters.

7. OTHER BUSINESS/INFORMATION ITEMS:

Councilmember Ray asked if the Council was interested in discussing the future of the gazebo. She suggested utilizing the Park Board to review options and advise Council on, for


20

CONSENT ITEM 3b.

instance, replacement or repair, and ADA compliance. She understood the City received an offer for repair work, but felt a larger discussion was needed. Councilmember Burke concurred, stating she has heard mixed messages and would appreciate cohesion before moving forward. Council and staff discussed: Involvement and roles of Design Review Board or Park and Recreation Board, or both. The gazebo was in the City’s right-of-way and was not a designated park. The work offered was to repair and refresh the existing structure in hopes of preventing

further deterioration, not to change its footprint. Repair work could go forward while conversations were had on future work, such as

ADA accessibility. Design Review Board did not approve the proposed roof material; cedar shakes should

be used. Location by the shoreline and restrictions that could have on work. Retention of the trees closest to the gazebo, which had been proposed to be removed. Repairs would include replacing the stairs and railing to meet code, otherwise the

structure would look the same.

At 8:53, MOTION by Neals, second by Guzak to extend the meeting to 9:30 p.m. Motion passed unanimously (6-0).

Council continued to discuss their concerns, timelines, and scope of the proposed project. Staff requested Council direction on replying to the volunteer contractor on accepting the generous offer, respecting their time and efforts. Councilmember Burke cautioned that as these types of projects come up, the Council or their advisory Boards should be provided opportunities for input before too much time or energy is put into it. Councilmember Ray recommended proceeding with the repairs but only if the trees are retained. Council concurred. Councilmember Burke requested the gazebo be added to a future meeting agenda so the topic would stay visible. Councilmember Guzak remarked on the possibility of moving the City Shop to the City-owned parcel east of Highway 2, which was zoned industrial. She requested Council authorize staff to explore the possibilities and costs for that, as well as the potential to turn the riverfront site into a park. Councilmember Kuleta shared Council President Merrill’s suggestion to review this significant project in relation to upcoming talks on Council goals. Council discussed the relationship of the project to the budget, and whether a feasibility study would be beneficial to better determine actual costs. Councilmember Neals requested staff provide a cost estimate for the feasibility study as a first step. Mayor Redmon remarked she would work with staff. Councilmember Guzak reported the County recently hired a realtor to assess the value of the former County shop site, which she did not feel the City would be able to afford.

At 9:17 p.m., MOTION by Flynn, second by Ray to extend the meeting until 10 p.m. Motion passed unanimously (6-0).

CONSENT ITEM 3b.

8. COUNCILMEMBER COMMENTS/LIAISON REPORTS Councilmember Flynn continued to make good connections and would report further at the next meeting. Councilmember Neals researched topics related to climate change and would present ideas to Council at the next meeting.

9. COUNCIL PRESIDENT’S ITEMS/REPORTS: None 10. CITY ADMINISTRATOR’S COMMENTS: None 11. MAYOR’S COMMENTS: None 12. RECESS to EXECUTIVE SESSION at 9:21 p.m. until 9:35 p.m. to discuss potential litigation

Date: April 5, 2022 To: City Council From: Brooke Eidem, Planner Subject: Developing a Tree Program SUMMARY: Staff will brief the City Council on various elements of tree-related programs, including addressing preservation of the City’s urban forest. Staff will also provide an update of the City’s Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Community Forestry Assistance Grant application. OVERVIEW: The City Council has expressed the desire to make protection of the City’s urban forest a priority. This effort will include eventually applying for Tree City USA recognition. As such, the following work items are planned for this year to meet Tree City USA requirements, improve processes and public access, and close gaps in tree-related policies and regulation: Tree Inventory Planting Prioritization Plan Tree Management Plan/Schedule Tree Management Coordination Tree Code Update (Chapter 14.240 SMC) Public Access and Coordination

Tree Inventory The main purpose of the City’s DNR Community Forestry Grant application is to obtain funding to pay a consultant to conduct an inventory of trees in the City’s rights-of-way and on City-owned property. The application was submitted on March 2, and the funding announcement is anticipated in early April. However, even if funds are not awarded, staff recommends conducting the tree inventory anyway, as it will be critical when determining future planning efforts and tree policy. As part of the research in preparing the grant application, several consultants were contacted who are qualified to do this work. The inventory’s estimated cost is $20,000. Planting Prioritization Plan One of the City deliverables planned to be part of the required City match for the grant is a Planting Prioritization Plan. The plan would use the inventory data to determine areas needing enhanced efforts for both new trees and maintenance of existing trees, particularly in low-equity parts of the City. One metric will be a comparison of existing tree locations against Census demographic data to determine areas of low tree equity, and thus high planting priority. The Planting Prioritization Plan will be done by City staff. Tree Management Plan/Schedule The tree inventory will provide a basic health assessment of each tree located in the rights-of-way and on select City-owned properties, such as parks. This health assessment information will become a priority list for tree care and maintenance based on health status, which can then be used to create an ongoing care and maintenance schedule. This information is expected to be integrated into a new facilities management software program to help track management actions and schedule future work.


29

DISCUSSION ITEM 5a.

Tree Management Coordination Coordinated tree management efforts at the staff level are currently lacking at the City. A cross-functional group will be formed and meet regularly to discuss urban forestry issues. The participants will include staff from the City’s Planning, Engineering, Streets, Parks, and Operations departments. The group’s first charge will be to review the tree inventory data and planting prioritization plan. The group will also work together on Tree City USA requirements, the tree code, street standards, and other issues related to preserving, maintaining, and managing our green infrastructure. A multi-departmental group representing diverse perspectives will ensure more sustainable management solutions. The group will meet throughout the term of the Tree Inventory grant project; however, the group will likely become a permanent part of the City’s tree management program as the benefits of this internal coordination are realized. Tree Code Update The work to begin amending SMC Chapter 14.240 Landscaping, Screening, Fencing, and Retaining Walls, will also begin this year as part of the coordination efforts discussed above and prior to application for Tree City USA through the Arbor Day Foundation. Initial work will include a gap analysis of the existing code and research of best practices. The City’s tree preservation code, which is very limited, is currently embedded in the same chapter as site landscaping standards, fencing, and wall requirements. It is written from the perspective of new development rather than management of existing sites, so there are gaps in the code that often lead to confusion. Additionally, no permit is required for tree removal, although a landscape plan review may be necessary, and in certain circumstances tree replacement is required. Staff is proposing to update this chapter to increase preservation requirements, potentially add a permit requirement for tree removal proposals, and ensure the code meets all Tree City USA standards. A code amendment proposal is anticipated to be ready for City Council consideration in the first half of 2023. Public Access and Coordination When the tree inventory project is complete, staff plans to integrate the mapping data into the City’s interactive mapping platform: the ArcGIS Online public portal. This access will increase the public’s awareness around these issues by providing them specific information about trees in their area. A new tree program webpage will also be created on the City website to share other information, resources, and guidance about tree care and the benefits of a healthy urban forest. The City is fortunate to have several community and volunteer groups that are interested in protecting the urban forest resource. The contributions of these groups will be vital for both planning and planting efforts. The City’s Park and Recreation Board, Green Snohomish, the League of Women Voters, and other groups will be included in elements of the work program outlined above and in future projects related to the City’s green infrastructure. TREE CITY USA REQUIREMENTS: Tree City USA recognition is a program of the Arbor Day Foundation, granted to cities that meet certain criteria to indicate their dedication to a thriving urban forest and all the benefits that it provides. The four basic prerequisites to Tree City USA recognition are:

1. Maintaining a tree board or department; 2. Having a community tree ordinance; 3. Spending at least $2 per capita per year on urban forestry; and 4. Celebrating Arbor Day.


30

DISCUSSION ITEM 5a.

Further work needs to be done to fully understand the requirements and how the City will meet them; however, it is expected that a code update will be necessary to be consistent with preservation standards in the model ordinance and the 2023-2024 budget should provide for the $2 per capita requirements (approximately $21,000 per year). BUDGETARY IMPACTS: If the City is not awarded grant funding from the Department of Natural Resources, then the Tree Inventory project will cost approximately $20,000, which can be paid for out of the Planning Department’s “Professional Services” budget. No additional appropriation or budget amendment would be required. All other items discussed above will require staff time, with no additional budget impacts. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN REFERENCE: EP 4.2: Trees. Promote the expansion of the community’s public and private tree inventory. RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council DISCUSS the issues and DIRECT staff on next steps. No action is requested at this time. ATTACHMENTS: None REFERENCE: Chapter 14.240 SMC

Date: April 5, 2022 To: City Council From: Rebekah Park, SHRM-CP, HR & Risk Manager Heather Thomas, City Administrator Subject: Proposed Public Works Director Position SUMMARY: Staff will brief the City Council on a proposal to re-establish the Public Works Director position. BACKGROUND: In the past, the Public Works Director position was a filled 1.0 FTE position. In 2018, the position was combined with the City Administrator position and funded solely by the General Fund. Staff initially recommended last year to separate the duties back into two positions, and were working to include it in the 2023-2024 budget discussions. With a new City Administrator now on board, staff would like to move forward with filling the Public Works Director position in 2022. The Public Works Director plans, directs, manages, and oversees the activities and operations of the Public Works Department. This includes engineering; maintenance of parks, streets, water treatment, water distribution, storm water and wastewater collections; wastewater treatment services and activities; coordination of assigned activities with other departments and outside agencies; and providing highly responsible and complex administrative support to the City Administrator. The current job description is included as Attachment A. ANALYSIS: As Council faces decision-making on priorities for infrastructure, capital projects, and environmental changes, this position will be critical in working with staff to analyze issues, preparing potential options for consideration, and making recommendations for Council consideration. This position will direct the development and implementation of departmental goals, objectives, priorities and performance measures for each assigned service area, as well as recommending and administering policies and procedures. The immediate need for the Public Works Director position is to provide essential services to the public while evaluating the needs of the City including budgetary impacts. BUDGETARY IMPACTS: The reinstated Public Works Director position is recommended to be at pay grade 900, with a base salary range of $127,884 - $141,696 for 2022. This position has three steps in the salary range and the selection of step for the potential new hire is flexible based on a candidate’s education and experience. The paygrade selection is based on the 2021 AWC Salary Comp Study (Attachment C) and internal equity.
