Analysis
• April 2nd, an infant child was found lying in the front yard of a house on John Dower. Parents were eventually found and
CPS took custody of the child.
• May 2nd , Drive by shooting in the vicinity of the HammerTime Bar & Grill (8900 block S Tacoma Way) resulted in the death
of the person who initiated the drive by. The original target was taken into custody and released.
• May 17th , Vehicular homicide when intoxicated soldier crashed into a power pole on 108th and Douglas Dr. Driver
originally fled leaving his dying friend in the passenger seat. Driver/suspect was found and arrested after resisting arrest.
• June 30th , Felony elude and vehicular assault when Traffic Officer attempted to stop a car for speeding. The suspect
vehicle fled, striking a number of citizens’ vehicles before rolling over and ejecting the driver (suspect). Suspect attempted
to run but was apprehended.
• Violent Crime numbers are up for 2Q17 driven mostly by May 2017 aggravated and simple assault numbers and a
continuance of the gun violence that seems to have leaked over from Tacoma all this year. YTD violent crime numbers are
up 8% with three homicides total (up from 0 in 2016).
• Property crime is slightly up YTD despite burglary numbers being down 8%. Both vandalism and motor vehicle thefts have
gone up (30% and 22% respectively). Vehicle prowls continue to be a problem with less of the daytime, parking lot type
prowls and more of the late night/early morning apartment parking lot prowls.
• Increase in forcible sexual assaults not attributed to any one cause. However approximately 40% of the increase comes
from two different women reporting multiple incidents each.

• In April and May, we had a number of residents reporting check fraud
on their accounts. Upon further investigation, it was determined that
each victim had utilized one of three USPS blue drop boxes in town to
mail checks. Suspects were able to install “fishing” mechanisms into
the boxes that would allow them to retrieve deposited mail without
prying them open.
• Investigator Hector was able to identify a group working out of the
Spanaway and Bonney Lake areas responsible washing the checks,
writing them for substantially larger amounts and then cashing
them. Five suspects have been forwarded to the Pierce County
Prosecutor’s Office for charging.

TO: Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: John Cunningham, Interim Public Works Director
THROUGH: John Caulfield, City Manager
DATE: July 24, 2017 (Study Session)
SUBJECT: Approval of Professional Services Contract with Gray & Osborne, Inc.
for Design of Steilacoom Boulevard: Puyallup St. to Farwest Dr. (In
the Town of Steilacoom)
Recommended Action: On August 7, 2017, that the Mayor and City Council, by approval
of the consent agenda, authorize the City Manager to enter into a contract for consultant
design services with Gray & Osborne, Inc. in the amount of $258,500 for the purpose of
designing improvements to Steilacoom Boulevard from Puyallup Street to Farwest Drive in
the Town of Steilacoom.
Background Information: The Steilacoom Boulevard Corridor Design Project is listed on
the City of Lakewood’s current Six-Year Comprehensive Transportation Improvement
Program. In June of 2014, the Town of Steilacoom and the City of Lakewood submitted
and received a federal grant in the amount of $630,000 plus $312,000 in joint local matching
funds (totaling $942,000) for the joint design of improvements to Steilacoom Blvd. from
Puyallup Street in Steilacoom to Phillips Road in Lakewood. Steilacoom’s portion of the
project covers Puyallup Street to Farwest Drive, while the Lakewood’s portion covers
Farwest Drive to Phillips Road. The improvement design includes widening of Steilacoom
Blvd to include installation of curb, gutter & sidewalk, accommodation of bicycles, street
lighting, landscaping, retaining walls and a pavement overlay.
Following is a breakdown of the project’s design funding:
Agency Grant Funds Local Match Total
Lakewood $ 440,000 $ 218,000 $ 658,000
Steilacoom $ 190,000 $ 94,000 $ 284,000
Total $ 630,000 $312,000 $ 942,000
030
The $258,500 contract with Gray and Osborne for design of the Steilacoom portion of this
project will be paid for from Steilacoom’s total project design funds of $284,000.
While Steilacoom was the lead agency associated with submitting the grant application, the
Town is not qualified as a Certification Acceptance (CA) agency with the State Department
of Transportation (WSDOT) and thus cannot oversee the actual design work on the project.
The City of Lakewood has CA status with WSDOT. WSDOT encourages CA approved
agencies to work with and assist non-CA agencies through inter-local agreements. At their
August 17, 2015 meeting, the Lakewood City Council adopted motion 2015-40, authorizing
execution of an Inter-local Agreement with Steilacoom for Lakewood to oversee design of
the Steilacoom’s portion of the Steilacoom Boulevard Project. A copy of the executed inter-
local agreement is attached for reference.
It is planned that design of the Lakewood’s portion of this project will be completed by in-
house staff by the end of 2018. In the meantime, the decision was made to advertise a
Request for Proposals (RFP) for design consultant services for the Steilacoom’s portion of
the project. 7 design consultants submitted Statement of Qualifications in response to the
RFP, 3 consultants were interviewed, and Gray & Osborne was ultimately selected as the
most qualified consulting engineering firm to perform this design work.
Project Deliverables:
The City of Lakewood and the Town of Steilacoom have supplied Gray & Osborne with a
30% design for the project. The Consultant will complete the following design services for
the Town of Steilacoom’s portion of the project:
• 60% Project Plans and Construction Estimate
• 90% Project Plans, Specifications, and Construction Estimate (PS&E)
• 100% PS&E
Upon review and approval of the 100% PS&E, Lakewood will request full, bid-ready PS&E
documents for advertisement for construction bids.
Timeline: With approval of this Engineering Services contract, the consultant’s design
work will begin in August, 2017. It is anticipated that this portion of the Steilacoom Blvd
improvement project will be ready to be bid for construction in October of 2018. Project
Construction Administration is anticipated to be managed by a consulting firm under direct
contract with the Town of Steilacoom. It should be noted that in June 2016, Steilacoom
received grant funding to assist them with the construction cost of their portion of the
overall Steilacoom Blvd. improvement project.
As stated above, the design of Lakewood’s portion of the overall project will be completed
by in-house Lakewood staff by late 2018. In addition, in June 2016, Lakewood received
additional grant funding ($702,000) for the purchase of additional right of way (ROW) on
Steilacoom Blvd from Weller Road to Phillips Road. This additional ROW acquisition will
take place in 2019 and is needed before Lakewood can complete construction of its portion
of the overall Steilacoom Blvd improvement project.
031
Funding Amount and Source: The proposal for the design work is $258,500, which is
within Steilacoom’s budget for this portion of the project design work. As shown in the
table above, Steilacoom’s budget for the design of their portion of the Steilacoom Blvd
improvement project is $284,000 ($190,000 in grant money plus their local match of
$94,000).
Per the Inter-local Agreement, Steilacoom will reimburse the City of Lakewood for all costs
incurred by Lakewood on the Town of Steilacoom’s behalf for management of this design
contract.
With respect to the design of the Lakewood portion of the Steilacoom Blvd project, the
estimated total design cost is approximately $658,000 ($440,000 in grant money plus the
city’s local match of $218,000).

DATE: July 18, 2017
SUBJECT: 2017 Community Cleanup Event Update and Options
This memo provides an update on plans to offer a community cleanup event to Lakewood
residents and businesses this fall.
The City’s 2015 franchise agreement with Waste Connections (dba Harold LeMay
Companies, Pierce County Refuse) provides for the City to request one or two community
cleanup events per year. These events allow residents to get rid of large volumes of
household solid waste items without paying extra fees, and can be done in one of two
formats: accepting items at a central drop-off site over two days, similar to Steilacoom
Spring Cleanup; or by picking up items at residential addresses through a series of smaller,
scheduled, neighborhood-scale curbside pickup days over the course of several weekends.
Discussion of Options:
The City can request either a drop-off or curbside pickup for the community cleanup event.
There are advantages and disadvantages to either option. Staff previously had looked closely
at the curbside cleanup option because it appeared to be simpler in design. However, after
further discussion, Waste Connections has recommended the City elect to have a dropoff
event instead for two reasons. First, it’s simpler to create a new drop-off event in a
community and explain its criteria and operations because the event takes place for two
days at a single location. This would help set up a new event for success. Second, the City
itself is very large and has many residences, so rolling curbside pickups by neighborhoods
here would be complicated, challenging to communicate, and would take weeks to
complete.
A dropoff-type here would utilize Waste Connection’s large, private transfer station on 94th
Street SW. The facility has controlled access, designated exit and entry points, a large entry
drive for queueing cars, space for multiple recycling stations to divert several forms of waste
from the landfill, and a “tip deck” facility for rapid, large-scale solid waste collection.

Advantages Disadvantages
Dropoff - Recyclable and reusable - Does not provide service
materials are separated from directly to residential locations,
solid waste which may be harder on those
- Staff is provided by Waste who are lower-income, are
Connections, and house-bound, or have limited
supplemented by volunteers transportation options
- Easier to ensure compliance - Requires City volunteers and
with rules of event staff support for event
- Can verify Lakewood
residency status at entry gate
before vehicles enter the
facility
Curbside - Service comes directly to - Can be difficult to
Pickup each residence, so does not communicate dates, locations,
require residents to transport and item restrictions effectively
waste items to transfer - Would take weeks to complete
station - Since all items at curbside will
- Does not require City staff be collected, participation
and volunteer support of cannot be limited effectively to
event Lakewood residents
- May encourage dumping
- Non-compliant or late items
become City responsibility for
removal
- Many recyclable or reusable
materials will get thrown out
Access Considerations:
There are a range of ways to mitigate equity and access concerns about a dropoff event.
Waste Connections has offered to work with the City to coordinate a system for specific
item pickup requests that weekend for people who cannot afford to get a truck or load items
themselves. As well, service clubs or students may also be interested in partnering on that
volunteer opportunity to help Lakewood residents take advantage of the opportunity.
Recommendation:
Because this is the first event of its type in Lakewood, and because Lakewood is a large city
with many residences and neighborhoods, it is recommended that Council elect to have the
City request a dropoff type of community cleanup event for 2017.
If the Council were to agree with this recommendation, tentative dates and times for the
event are Saturday, October 28th and Sunday, October 29th from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM each
day.
In either format, the 2017 community cleanup event will be evaluated for effectiveness and
customer experience, after which staff will return with updated recommendations for 2018
event design.

Subject: WSDOT Gateway Design Options
Attachments: Power Point – Gateway design options
Summary: WSDOT has requested support from the City of Lakewood to maintain future
landscaped improvements along the I-5 corridor. They are requesting a memorandum of
understanding (MOU) between the City and the State indicating the City’s interest in
participating in this project. They are in the process of developing a scope of work to design
build the project. The City’s level of participation will drive the design process for certain
landscaping elements of the project.
Background: On June 12, 2017 representatives from WSDOT presented information
regarding the I-5 and Mounts Road to Thorne Lane Corridor Improvement projects. The
purpose of these improvements is to relieve chronic traffic congestion and improve person
and freight mobility along Interstate 5 in the vicinity of Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM)
while maintaining access to the communities and military installations neighboring the
highway. During this presentation WSDOT staff shared information regarding how design
build projects work and the various strategies and timelines they planned to use to
accomplish this project. They also presented various opportunities for architectural and
aesthetic treatments to walls, decks and gateways.
As WSDOT develops the design build Request for Proposal (RFP) and scope of work for
this project and because the City requested opportunities to develop City gateways at the
Berkley and Thorne Lane interchanges, WSDOT has asked the City of Lakewood to
consider participating in future maintence of these areas. The level of commitment from the
City will impact the improvements made in these areas.
Current Status: WSDOT is requesting a MOU from the City indicating the City’s interest
and intent in participating in future maintenance of the Thorne Lane and Berkeley
interchanges. The MOU will also address the City’s desire to have access to all
100
interchanges connected to Lakewood (Gravelly Lake, Bridgeport, 84th and 512) so we have
the option of entering these areas if improvements are needed.
At the July 24 study session staff will present three potential options for Council to consider.
Please note the graphics shown in the power point are versions of what could be designed by
the selected design build engineers. WSDOT will include direction to the design build team
based on the City’s long term commitment to maintaining this area(s). The options are:
Option 1. No City support – WSDOT will do minimal aesthetic improvements. Deck and
roundabouts will not receive any landscaping treatments.
Pros – no financial impact to the City.
Cons – sterile / bleak first impression of Lakewood.
Option 2. Medium support – dog bone roundabouts will have decorative hardscape and
landscaped areas. City could install gateway monument sign (at our expense).
Pros – aesthetically pleasing first impression of the City (and JBLM) to citizens and visitors.
The City included gateway improvements at the Berkeley and Thorne Lane exits in the
current parks 6 year CIP so maintaining a portion of this area was considered and
anticipated in future planning.
Cons – Additional maintence would be required. Because the area has not been designed, it
is difficult to determine future financial impacts to the City.
Option 3. All In – side areas of deck will be landscaped and dog bone roundabouts will have
decorative hardscape and landscaped areas. City could install gateway monument sign (at
our expense). Also suggesting an ivy covered pedestrian wall near Tillicum.
Pros – impressive first impression of the City (and JBLM) to citizens and visitors. The City
included gateway improvements at the Berkeley and Thorne Lane exits in the current parks
6 year CIP so maintaining a portion of this area was considered and anticipated in future
planning.
Cons – adding landscaping to the entire deck will increase impact to structure and require
more utilities (power, water, stormwater, etc.). Additional maintence would be required.
Because the area has not been designed, it is difficult to determine future financial impacts
to the City.
Timeline: The project is anticipated to start in January, 2022 and take three years to
complete. After warranty period, maintenance of the areas would begin in or around 2027.
Recommendation: Staff is recommending Option 2. The City included gateway
improvements at the Berkeley and Thorne Lane exits in the current parks 6 year CIP so
maintaining a portion of this area was considered and anticipated in future planning. The
roundabout areas are easier to build and maintain then acres of bushes and ground cover.
Landscaping along freeways has a tendency to wither and die out earlier due to
environmental and driver (accident) impacts. Concern would be what the areas look like in
five to 10 years after the project is complete. Staff would also recommend that any
commitment to future maintence be associated with plants, irrigation, city installed gateway
signage and possible trash removal. Any maintence associated with the WSDOT structures,
walls, roads, markings, signals, signs and improvements are the responsibility of WSDOT
along with cost for utilities. City staff will be at the July 24 study session to discuss the
City’s options.
