1. OLD EVERGREEN HIGHWAY NEIGHBORHOOD ACTION PLAN (Staff Report 090‐11) A RESOLUTION of the City of Vancouver, Washington, relating to neighborhood planning; accepting the Neighborhood Action Plan for the Old Evergreen Highway Neighborhood Association. Summary The Old Evergreen Highway Neighborhood Association was established and recognized by the Vancouver City Council in 2004. Over the past several months, the neighborhood association action plan committee worked with neighbors and City staff to write the plan. The proposed plan was made available to every household in the neighborhood. The plan was officially approved and adopted by the Old Evergreen Highway Neighborhood Association in a general meeting on June 8, 2011. There is no immediate budget impact. However, City Council should anticipate requests for support for funding for the pedestrian‐friendly trail extension through the neighborhood. Action Requested: On July 25, 2011, adopt a resolution accepting the Old Evergreen Highway Neighborhood Action Plan. (Judi Bailey, Office of Neighborhoods Program Coordinator, 487‐ 8608) 2. LINCOLN NEIGHBORHOOD ACTION PLAN UPDATE (Staff Report 091‐11) A RESOLUTION of the City of Vancouver, Washington relating to neighborhood planning; accepting the Neighborhood Action Plan for the Lincoln Neighborhood Association. Summary The Lincoln Neighborhood Association created a neighborhood action plan in June 1998.

A committee of 11 has worked alongside the association membership at large and City staff to write an updated plan. The proposed plan was made available to every household in the neighborhood. The plan was officially approved and adopted by the Lincoln Neighborhood Association in a general meeting on June 13, 2011.

There is no immediate budget impact. However, City Council should anticipate requests for support for funding for items such as multi‐modal transportation projects and improvements to open spaces throughout the neighborhood. Action Requested: On July 25, 2011, adopt a resolution accepting the updated Lincoln Neighborhood Action Plan. (Judi Bailey, Office of Neighborhoods Program Coordinator, 487‐ 8608) 3. PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF VANCOUVER AND MUNISERVICES, LLC (Staff Report 092‐11) Summary The City of Vancouver collects a Business License and Business License Surcharge. The Business License is a flat fee per business while the surcharge is based upon Full Time Equivalents (FTEs) employed by the business. Vancouver Municipal Code (VMC) allows for waivers and exceptions of these fees. Additionally, the City of Vancouver also collects various taxes outlined in City code, which include Utility, Electric, Brokered Natural Gas, Telephone and Gambling taxes, among others. In late 2010 the City issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for tax recovery services. This RFP requested a vendor to provide services to the City of Vancouver that may include discovery and compliance auditing service related to the above referenced business license, business license surcharge and various taxes. The City received two responses to the RFP. Through a scoring process, MuniServices, LLC was selected as the successful vendor. MuniServices is a fully qualified vendor capable of performing auditing procedures per City standards. MuniServices’ compensation shall be a contingency fee of 40% of the additional revenue received by the City from the services. The 40% shall apply to the current tax year, all eligible prior period revenues, and any applicable penalties, interest, and late fees. The contingent fee only applies to revenues actually received by the City. The contract fee is based on a percentage of recovery; therefore, unless the City actually recovers revenue there will be no expense associated with this contract. The City will be adding appropriation in the Fall Supplemental of 2011 based on an estimate of revenues to be recovered during the remainder of 2011 and in 2012. Action Requested: Authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute the Professional Services Agreement with MuniServices, LLC. (Christine Smith, Internal Auditor, 487‐8441) 4. PAYMENT AGREEMENT AND PROMISSORY NOTE BETWEEN THE CITY AND AHO CONSTRUCTION I, INC. (Staff Report 093‐11) Summary
Council Consent Meeting July 25, 2011 Page 4 of 6
In 2005 Aho Construction was a developer of a real property development in Vancouver known as DeMarrie Terrace. Aho Construction and the City executed a Voluntary Agreement pursuant to the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 82.02.020 under which Aho Construction agreed to pay Proportionate Share fees in the amount of $3,000 per lot for Phase I of the DaMaari Terrace development. There were 74 lots considered to be a part of Phase I resulting in $222,000 in Proportionate Share due and payable. Due to an oversight in timing, payment was not requested nor collected in a timely manner; however, in December 2010 the City recognized this error and invoiced Aho Construction for the full amount. After receipt of the invoice, Aho Construction made payments totaling $60,000. Aho Construction acknowledges the remaining amounts as due and payable; however, due to the unprecedented economic downturn Aho Construction is unable to make immediate payment in full of the remaining amount without causing severe financial hardship to the Corporation. As such, coordination and negotiation efforts ensued whereby the Payment Agreement and Promissory Note were drafted. There is no immediate impact to the adopted budget related to this decision as it relates to the collection of revenue; however, failure to collect this revenue will further reduce already strained resources available for capital projects. Action Requested: Authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute the Payment Agreement and Promissory Note. (Christine Smith, Internal Auditor, 487‐8441) 5. PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT – THIRD‐PARTY ADMINISTRATION (TPA) SERVICES FOR THE CITY’S SELF‐ INSURED WORKERS’ COMPENSATION CLAIMS PROGRAM (Staff Report 094‐11) Summary The City’s contract to administer the self‐insured workers’ compensation claims program with a third‐party administrator expired June 30, 2011. The current service provider has agreed to extend the contract until a contract with Gallagher Bassett Services, Inc., is approved by Vancouver City Council. Gallagher Bassett was selected by utilizing a cooperative purchasing agreement between Clark County and the City of Vancouver to provide the above services for four years. Funds are budgeted in the 2011‐2012 biennial budget and are available in the Risk Fund. Action Requested: Authorize the City Manager or his designee to sign a two‐year professional services agreement, with the option to renew for up to two additional years, for third party administrator services for workers’ compensation claims with Gallagher Bassett Services, Inc. of Lake Oswego, Oregon in an amount not to exceed $92,000 per year. (Tim Haldeman, General Services Director, 487‐8495)

6. INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH CLARK COUNTY FOR RECEIPT AND DISBURSEMENT OF REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER MONITORING ADDRESS AND RESIDENCY VERIFICATION PROGRAM (SOM) FUNDS (Staff Report 095‐11) Summary The Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs has awarded $248,941.32 in state funds to Clark County and its cities to support police monitoring of registered kidnapping or sex offenders as required by state law in RCW 9A.44.130. Law enforcement must provide face‐to‐ face verification of a registered sex offender’s place of residence every 3‐12 months, based on the level of offense. The Clark County Sheriff’s Office coordinates and maintains a registry database and public website for all sex offenders within the county. Vancouver Police is responsible for monitoring registered sex offenders and kidnapping offenders who live within the City of Vancouver. Funds may be used for police staffing, overtime, training, or other necessary program costs to ensure compliance with State law. Clark County will administer this grant and disburse budgeted funds to the Vancouver Police Department through an interlocal agreement and the City of Vancouver will receive $95,654.92. There is no local funding match required and no net impact to the General Fund. The appropriation of revenues and budget for expenditures associated with this grant will come forward as part of the Fall Supplemental of 2011. Action Requested: Authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute an interlocal agreement with Clark County for disbursement of grant funds by the recipient (Clark County) to the sub‐recipient (Vancouver) for police overtime, training, and other necessary program costs to ensure compliance with Washington State law for sex offender and kidnapping offender monitoring, residential address verification checks, and community notification. (Brenda Tryon, Grants and Planning Analyst, 487‐7497) 7. STREET VACATION OF A PORTION OF THE RIGHT‐OF‐WAY OF SE 148TH AVENUE BETWEEN SE MILL PLAIN BOULEVARD AND SE 5TH STREET (Staff Report 096‐11) A RESOLUTION fixing August 15, 2011, as the date for public hearing on a proposal to vacate a portion of the right‐of‐way acquired for the SE 148th Avenue from SE Mill Plain Boulevard to northern property lines for Parcel #60 (TL 167676‐000) and Parcel #4 (TL 164700‐000). Summary Asghar R. Sadri, Ken J. Yu and Agnes Yu Et Al entered into a development agreement with the City of Vancouver on December 1, 2008. The transportation improvements described in the development agreement contained three important and related elements. The first element included significant changes to the existing roadway geometry along SE 148th Avenue and driveway approaches to the parcels east and west of SE 148th Avenue. This element was for the purposes of improving safety and reducing traffic impacts on the adjacent neighborhood.
Council Consent Meeting July 25, 2011 Page 6 of 6
The second element included safety improvements on SE Mill Plain Boulevard. The third element reduced the roadway right‐of‐way width requirements, creating excess right‐of‐way with a potential for vacating it to the adjacent property owners. Section VI.C of the development agreement also provided the opportunity for the abutting property owner, in this case the developer, to request vacation of that portion of right‐of‐way no longer needed. Subsequently, the City has received a written request from the developer (Delta Management Co.) to vacate two strips of property. The property requested to be vacated is approximately a 13‐feet wide strip on the west side and a 7‐feet strip on the east side of SE 148th Avenue from SE Mill Plain Boulevard to SE 5th Street. Proceeds from this street vacation should be deposited into Transportation Fund 330. These funds will be used for transportation projects in the general area. Action Requested: On July 25, 2011, adopt the resolution of intent and approve ordinance on first reading, setting date of first public hearing for August 15, 2011. (Bill Whitcomb, Manager of Public Works Capital Planning, Finance and Asset Management, 487‐7702) 8. APPROVAL OF CLAIM VOUCHERS FOR JULY 25, 2011 (Copy available upon request.)
