REQUESTED ACTION:
☐ Receive Information ☐ Provide Direction ☒ Approve
REQUEST RATIONALE:
• Relevant Plans/Policies:
N/A
• Required:
According to RCW 36.145.080(2) and (6), the Board of Supervisors must be appointed by the Council, and in the event that a vacancy is created on a board, the Mayor shall promptly act to fill the vacancy for the remainder of the term.
• Council Request:
N/A
• Other Key Facts:
Recent Councilmember changes have created a vacancy on the Board of Supervisors for CFD 2014-1 and CFD 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 was 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; 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 and improvements to the intersection of NE 31st Street and 156th Avenue NE.
o Extension of storm water 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 two members representing Microsoft and three members from the Redmond City Council:
• Marcia Jones, Senior Real Estate and Land Use Manager, Microsoft
• Don Marcy, JD, Vice President, Cairncross & Hemplemann
• Tanika Padhye, Council President Vacant (City of Redmond)
• David Carson, Councilmember (City of Redmond)
• Vanessa Kritzer, Council Vice President (City of Redmond)
Recent Councilmember changes have created a vacancy on both CFD Boards. With Council’s approval, Councilmember Melissa Stuart will be appointed to serve on the Board of Supervisors beginning immediately and will complete the remainder of the current terms for CFD 2014-1, which expires 9/30/2022, and for CFD 2016-1, which expires on 6/30/2024.
