Approval of the Appointment and Reappointment of Community Facility District (CFD) No. 2014-1 and 2016-1 Board of Supervisor Members
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
Under CFD regulations, City Council must approve the appointment and reappoint of members to the board of supervisors. The retirement of Supervisor Stanton created a vacancy on the CFD 2014-1 and 2016-1 Boards. Marcia Jones, Senior Real Estate and Land Use Manager for Microsoft, is recommended to take over Mr. Stanton’s duties on the Board. In addition, the other members of the CFD Board of Supervisors have terms that have expired or will expire in August. Those members need to be reappointed to the CFD Boards with staggered terms. Specifically, Councilmembers Padhye, Kritzer, and Carson as well as Don Marcy JD, Vice President of Cairncross & Hempelmann (Microsoft representative), are up for reappointment to Community Facilities Districts (CFD) No. 2014-1 and 2016-1.

OUTCOMES:
There are two Community Facilities Districts (CFD) within the City of Redmond:
• CFD 2014-1 was established on July 15, 2014, as a partnership between the City of Redmond, Microsoft, and Sound Transit to fund and construct improvements at the Overlake Transit Center (OTC), including a pedestrian bridge over SR 520 and 156th Avenue NE.
• CFD 2016-1 was established on June 21, 2016, as a partnership between the City of Redmond and Microsoft. As amended on July 25, 2017, the CFD is to fund multimodal and stormwater improvements, including:
o Eastbound and westbound left-turn lanes at the intersection of 154th Avenue NE and NE 51st Street and at the intersection of 156th Avenue NE and NE 51st Street along with signal modifications to the intersection of 156th Avenue NE and NE 51st Street and bicycle lanes along NE 51st Street from 154th Avenue NE to the SR 520 eastbound on-ramp.
o Bicycle lanes along NE 31st Street from the roundabout just east of SR 520 to 156th Avenue NE along with improvements to the intersection of NE 31st Street and 156th Avenue NE.
o Extension of stormwater pipe from 172nd Avenue NE to Lake Sammamish along the NE 40th street right-of-way and related improvements required as part of project construction; flow splitter vault at the intersection of NE 40th Street and 172nd Avenue NE; energy dissipation vault at end of pipe extension; outfall at Lake Sammamish that mitigates for wetland and lake impacts; water quality treatment facilities for a portion of the basin to improve water quality in Lake Sammamish and/or Villa Marina Creek; potential Salmon Safe certification; and project mitigation.
o Grade separated path for pedestrians/bicycles on the west side of SR 520 to reduce potential pedestrian/bicycle conflicts with motor vehicles on NE 40th Street. The extent of the funding for the grade separated pedestrian/bicycle path is dependent on the actual cost of the other three improvements. To the extent there are funds available from the assessment approved by the District after construction of the other three improvements, those remaining funds will be applied to the construction cost of the grade separated pedestrian/bicycle path.
Both CFDs hold separate meetings and have an independent Board of Supervisors, appointed by City Council. Currently the same representatives sit on both CFD Boards. The Board of Supervisors consists of the following two members representing Microsoft:
• Jim Stanton, AICP, Senior Community Affairs Manager, Microsoft Vacant
• Don Marcy, JD, Vice President, Cairncross & Hempelmann
and three appointed members from Redmond City Council:
• Tanika Padhye, Council President
• David Carson, Councilmember
• Vanessa Kritzer, Councilmember
Recent retirement of Supervisor Stanton created a vacancy on both of these Boards. According to CFD statutes, in the event that a vacancy is created, the Mayor shall promptly act to fill the vacancy for the remainder of the term.
With Council’s approval, Marcia Jones, Senior Real Estate and Land Use Manager from Microsoft, will be appointed to serve on the Board of Supervisors as of September 1, 2021. Ms. Jones will serve out Mr. Stanton’s remaining term on CFD 2014-1 until 9/30/2022. Her term on CFD 2016-1 would expire on 6/30/2024.
Reappointments of incumbent Board of Supervisor members are required due to expiration of terms. If reappointed, Board of Supervisor new term limits would be as follows:
CFD 2014-1
• Councilmember David Carson (new term limit 8/31/2024)
• Don Marcy JD, Vice President of Cairncross & Hempelmann (new term limit 8/31/2024)
CFD 2016-1
• Council President Tanika Padhye (new term limit 12/31/2021)
• Councilmember Kritzer (new term limit 6/30/2024)
• Councilmember David Carson (new term limit 6/30/2023)
• Don Marcy JD, Vice President of Cairncross & Hempelmann (new term limit 6/30/2023)
