Memorandum To: BURA From: Casey Re: RRFB Lights & Crosswalk Flags Date: April 21, 2026 Assets would like to ask that BURA fund the purchase of 3 sets of Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon’s (RRFB/Crosswalk Lights) to install on Pine Street and Main, Poplar and Main and possibly one on Chestnut and Main. The cost per set is $7,028.88. I would also like to ask that BURA “Ear Mark” Funds to purchase 4 more sets so we can be prepared and take advantage of this pricing, reasoning, our existing 4 sets of RRFB’s on Spruce St., Cottonwood St., Elm St. and Oak St. These lights have come to the end of their life expectancy and all are beginning (Spruce St and Oak St especially) to have operational problems. We can’t repair them by buying a single flasher and expect them to work as they operate by radio signals to each other and have to be paired together and the years different in technology won’t allow it. I’ve attached the invoice for a set (1 Set, 2 lights) which is $7,028.88. Again, we’d be asking for 3 sets now and funds “ear marked” for next year for 4 more sets to replace the old ones when they fail. We are also asking that BURA Fund the replacement of our current crosswalk flags. We rolled out the new design for these flags last year and the public liked them very much. These were proto types. The flags we are asking for now are made from a heavier material, double stitched and have a large envelope to hold a larger handle. Davis Embroidery is donating 10% of the purchase price off to us for a cost of $4.70 each for a order of 200 flags plus the one-time $40 setup fee. I’ve attached a picture of the flag and the quote from Davis Embroidery I do believe I found plenty of supporting information within the plan to warrant asking for these monies. It appears from what I read that BURA is all about streets, street markings and parking in providing safety for the public. I also see where BURA wants to provide assistance to the city for crosswalks, again, for the safety of the general public and children, all these streets play a large part in getting the kids to school safely. I have copied and pasted all the pertaining information from the plan itself, beginning with Section 302, Section 309.1 (c), Resolution No 797 paragraph 5-6, Resolution No 798 2nd Paragraph, Exhibit -A- and Attachment 7 (Implementing Actions) SECTION 302 Urban Renewal Plan Objectives Urban Renewal action is necessary in the Revenue Allocation Area to combat problems of deterioration and economic underdevelopment. The area has a history of a lack of affordable housing, underdevelopment, inadequate parking, a dangerous pedestrian environment, economic underdevelopment and other deteriorating factors including but not limited to inadequate pedestrian amenities, deteriorating water, sewer and street infrastructure. Hence, the Urban Renewal Plan for the Revenue Allocation Area is a proposal for public improvements and facilities necessary to provide affordable workforce housing, parking and parking structures, street and sidewalk improvements, an improved environment for economic development including the elimination of unsanitary and unsafe conditions, potential owner and private-party developers to assemble appropriate development sites where necessary through acquisition, demolition and disposition activities, and prevention of the extension of blight and deterioration and reversal of the deteriorating- action of the area. In implementing the activities described in this Plan, the Agency- shall give due consideration to the provision of adequate park and recreational areas and facilities that may be desirable for neighborhood improvement, with special consideration for the health, safety and welfare of children residing in the general vicinity of the site covered by the Plan. SECTION 309.1 (c) Development by the Agency To the extent now or hereafter permitted by law, the Agency is authorized to pay for, develop or construct any publicly owned building, facility, structure, or other improvement within the Revenue Allocation Area for itself or for any public body or entity.

BURA purchased Dog Waste Stations and a Box of Dog Waste Bags and we around put them all up. The Stations are mostly made of plastic and are out in the elements which includes occasional vandals. The weather is tough on the and people can be far more destructive. We had one extra station and have cannibalized it for parts to fix the other stations. We service these stations once a week during the colder slower months and once things begin to warm up and more people and pooches are out and about, we service them twice a week. We have put up a couple new Stations and have one on hand for parts or complete replacement. We order a case of Dog Waste Bags about every month and a half. The stations (3) cost $327.97 each or a total of $983.91 for all three, each case of bags cost $269.31. Providing this service and the cost of the stations is rather expensive. I’m not real sure how BURA designated this project with in the plan unless it was to support special projects or maybe to better the park and recreation amenities by hopefully not having unkept dog waste underfoot. I have attached invoices for both the Dog Waste Stations and the Dog Waste Bags Also attached; Section 302, Section 309.1 (c), Resolution No 797 paragraph 5-6, Resolution No 798 2nd Paragraph, Exhibit -A- and Attachment 7 (Implementing Actions) 1 SECTION 302 Urban Renewal Plan Objectives Urban Renewal action is necessary in the Revenue Allocation Area to combat problems of deterioration and economic underdevelopment.

Attachment 7 1. The maintenance and improvements of existing streets should have priority over construction of new streets. Memorandum To: Bellevue Urban Renewal Agency Board of Directors From: Brian Parker, Community Development Director Re: Main Street Lighting Update Date: May 5, 2026 Background The Bellevue Urban Renewal Agency (BURA) has been working in coordination with Bellevue City Staff and Great West Engineering on repairing and improving street lighting on Main Street. The Bellevue City Assets Department repaired the majority of the electrical infrastructure within the BURA District to serve the existing lighting. Much of the underground infrastructure is still in need of further improvement to improve efficiency and reliability but appears to be sufficient for the time being. Within the District, two (2) adjacent fixtures do not work due to underground electrical issues, and six (6) bases have been identified where the pole and light are no longer present. The base-only locations were not tested for electrical function but likely work. BURA had included $100,000 in Improvements and Construction in the FY26 budget for street lighting repair under the assumption that substantial sidewalk repair and replacement would be required to access and repair the electrical infrastructure. That not being the case, Staff is cautiously optimistic that the budgeted funds may be used for the purchase and installation of new street lighting fixtures. Recommendation and Next Steps The Board should discuss the following:  Desired outcomes of the new street lighting. Staff recommends prioritizing safe pedestrian crossings of Main Street in key locations, improving Dark-Sky conditions, and consistency with the historical architecture of Bellevue’s downtown.  The point at which the cost of repair to the underground electrical infrastructure to serve the two (2) existing inoperable lights is worth the improvement. The likely cause of the issue is a tree root breaking the conduit and wiring below the sidewalk. Repair would likely include removal and replacement of the sidewalk and removal of the tree. Staff and Great West Engineering will take the discussion and develop plans and specifications for improvements to street lighting. The Board will review these plans along with a selection of suitable options for new street light fixtures. Enclosures 1. Street Light Status Map 2.

Eric Hasenoehrl, the structural engineer who visited the site with me a while back, and I have been discussing a possible approach to addressing the issues with the north wall of the historic City Hall building. During my last visit to the building, we cut a large opening on the interior side of the north wall and excavated a small area outside along the base of the wall. From this investigation, we observed three layers of existing wall construction. The original construction, which is visible from the exterior of the building, is vertical plank construction, a common building method in the area when the fire station was originally built. Vertical plank construction consists of large vertical wood planks that serve as both the structural framing and wall sheathing of the building. Instead of closely spaced studs, as found in modern balloon or platform framing, the walls are made from thick boards or planks fastened directly to sill and top plates. When these planks are connected together, they form a rigid structural �box,� and the building relies on the plank walls themselves for structural stability. Immediately inside the vertical planks is a newer 2x4 framed wall. This wall was likely added to provide space for insulation. It may also provide some structural support to the roof system, although this has not yet been confirmed. Inside the 2x4 framed wall, located a few inches farther toward the interior, is a glulam beam structure consisting of a 4x4 sill on a concrete slab, vertical columns spaced approximately 12 feet on center, and beams spanning across the room from column to column. This structure supports newer framing in the attic that augments the roof structure. During our recent exploration of the north wall, we found that the original vertical plank lumber was severely deteriorated at the bottom where it had been buried in soil. The lower portions of the planks and associated framing members were significantly rotted. The upper portion of the sill element was visible, as well as an additional horizontal timber that appeared to remain in reasonable condition. It should be noted that no clear foundation support was observed in this excavation for the original construction. There may be spaced foundation piers that were originally used to support the building, but at this time we do not know if they exist or where they are located. Just inside the original exterior planks was the newer 2x4 framing. The vertical studs were visible, but we could not identify a bottom plate. The bottoms of the studs were buried in soil, and no bottom plate was clearly found. The plate could still be present below the soil or may have deteriorated over time. Inside the 2x4 framing was the glulam structure. The sill beam was visible, but because its lower edge was buried in soil and debris, its current structural condition could not be fully determined. Our initial approach to correcting the failing conditions of the north wall is as follows: 1. Carefully remove the existing plank siding, including the top and bottom horizontal members. Each plank will be sequentially numbered so it can be reinstalled in its original location during reconstruction. Once removed, the planks will be transported to a workshop where loose paint will be removed and repairs performed using epoxy consolidant, Dutchman repairs, or similar methods. In some cases, sound interior planks may be reused on the exterior, while concealed interior boards may be replaced with new material. 2. Removal of the planks will be done strategically in phases to expose key areas of the wall from top to bottom in order to better understand the existing structural conditions. This investigation will occur before all planks are removed. The reconstruction concepts described below are based on current assumptions, and additional conditions may be discovered as work progresses, which is common in historic renovation projects. 3. Provide temporary shoring for the interior structures, including both the 2x4 framing and the glulam structural system, as needed. 4. Excavate below and adjacent to the existing concrete slab, removing any existing supporting elements such as rocks or deteriorated concrete. 5. Construct a new concrete footing and stem wall foundation to support both the interior framing and the reconstructed original plank wall. 6. Repair the 2x4 framed wall as necessary and repair or replace the batt insulation within the wall. The bottom of this wall would then rest on the new foundation using a new pressure-treated sill plate. 7. Reconstruct the original vertical plank wall using new top and bottom horizontal members. The repaired and repainted planks will be reinstalled in their original locations wherever possible. Depending on the extent of deterioration at the bases of the boards, some planks may be replaced using boards salvaged from interior locations in order to preserve the historic texture and character of the exterior siding. Each plank will likely require individual repair and preparation. With respect to keeping the museum open during construction, it appears that the interior glulam structure and the 2x4 framing between the columns are generally in good condition, although the condition of the sill beam still needs to be confirmed and addressed if necessary. Because of this, the interior drywall may be able to remain intact. With insulation installed within the interior 2x4 infill framing and temporary weather protection such as Visqueen installed on the exterior, the museum may be able to remain open during construction. It is anticipated that this work would be carried out during late spring, summer, or early fall before cold or rainy weather begins. I am not certain where the property line lies relative to your northern neighbor. We may need their permission to access that side of the building during construction. In addition, if a mini-excavator is used in the narrow space between the buildings, it may be beneficial to install drainage improvements such as one or two drywells to help dissipate stormwater and snowmelt runoff. At this point in our professional involvement with the north wall reconstruction, Eric and I will transition from our consulting role for the Idaho Heritage Trust to our respective architectural and engineering practices. I will provide a separate letter or email outlining our proposed fees to assist with the design and completion of the north wall reconstruction project. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or additional thoughts regarding the proposed scope of work or any other concerns related to your iconic City Hall building.

State St., Boise, ID 83702 www.idahohe ritage trust.org Archived: Friday, May 1, 2026 9:38:06 AM From: "Steve Trout" Mail received time: Wed, 11 Mar 2026 22:50:30 +0000 Subject: Historic City Hall / Museum - North Wall Reconstruction - Architectural and Engineering Fee Proposal Hi Brian, Following up on the email I just sent you using my Idaho Heritage Trust persona, the following is my fee proposal to assist with the restoration and/or reconstruction of the north wall of the iconic historic City Hall building. This fee proposal is based on the scope of work outlined in my earlier Idaho Heritage Trust email sent today. For the structural engineering portion of the project, Eric Hasenoehrl with Keltic Engineering, Inc. has proposed a fixed fee of $3,750.00, not including site visits, which would be billed separately if required. For the architectural portion of the project, which would include providing on-site coordination and serving as Eric’s field representative, I propose a maximum-not-to-exceed fee of $6,000.00. My time would be billed on an hourly basis against this amount. Because of the variability of conditions that may arise during this type of historic renovation project, I prefer to keep this portion of the work hourly. The estimate assumes a near worst-case scenario, so if less time is required, the overall fee would be reduced accordingly. Therefore, the total potential fee for both structural engineering and architectural services would be $9,750.00. Our services would include initial design work, assistance with contractor selection, revisions to the design as conditions are discovered during further investigation, coordination with the contractor to address questions or concerns, and assistance with obtaining building permits if required. Our involvement would extend through completion of the project. Please let me know if you have any questions. I would be honored to assist with this project.
