While reviewing estimated construction costs related to the anticipated college home field expansion, the overall cost of the home field site improvements exceeded the initial funding commitment of $1.6M from Pierce College. Pierce College is dedicated to meet their baseball program’s long-term facility goals and has committed to increase the funding needed to meet the estimated home field site improvement costs. They appreciate the efficiency of completing the improvements in one phase and with the currently planned and funded infield improvements. Background: The City received $1.6 million in funding to replace four native soil dirt infields with turf material at FSP. Pierce College approached the City to participate and expand this project and secured $1.6 million in funding to build a home baseball field to meet the needs of the college and the field requirements of a Northwest Athletic Conference (NWAC) college baseball team. The City and the college executed an interlocal agreement (ILA) in January, 2021 to memorialize this partnership to build the Pierce College home field at FSP. A second ILA, to allocate the proportion of contributions from the City and Pierce College, was approved on October 18, 2021. As noted in ILA #2, the City will cover 75% of the costs to design and build the infield portion of the project and the college will cover the rest of the costs to include all of the home field improvement costs. The City executed a contract with D.A. Hogan to design the project. The original project budget was $3.21 million. The estimated construction cost for the expanded project scope is $4,337,385 plus additional design, permitting, sales tax and construction contingencies for an overall project total estimated to be $6,082,339. A balance of $2,872,339 would be needed to do all of the improvements. A letter of commitment for the additional funds has been provided by Pierce College. See attached summary chart for a breakdown of project costs. Next Steps: If the project expansion is approved by Council, an amendment to the original professional services design contract with DA Hogan would be forwarded to Council for approval. Pierce College would be responsible for all of the expanded project scope to include design, permitting and construction fees. An updated ILA to address shared use and future maintenance and operations will be presented at a future meeting. 3  Return to Agenda Ft.

Even with the adversity of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, our biggest challenge came in the form of police reform legislation from our state lawmakers. Legislation that was intended to create a more equitable criminal justice system changed police practices based on case law that had been in place for decades. The changes went into effect almost overnight and all police departments in Washington were forced to adapt. I can say with confidence that the Lakewood Police Department worked diligently to implement the mandated changes, but that wasn’t without consequences. We lost almost 20% of our commissioned personnel to retirement or resignation. Most were near retirement and did not think they would be able to be successful working under the new laws, but there were also some who left to be officers in other states or who left the profession altogether. As a result of this significant reduction in staffing, we had to essentially shut down our Special Operations Unit and our Property Crimes Unit in order to staff our basic patrol function. That meant no proactive investigations of vice crimes and little follow up on property crimes. This, along with restrictions placed on us by the new laws, are reflected in some of our crime statistics seen later in this report. Like any challenge the Lakewood Police Department has faced, we adapted and worked to overcome it. We increased our testing frequency for potential officer recruits, networked to recruit lateral officers, and created incentives for joining and, more importantly, staying with the Department. We also assigned a sergeant and a detective to work full time on processing the background investigations of new applicants. We hired 15 new officers, with more on the way. Most of the new officers still need to complete the academy, but it’s a good start to getting our staffing back up to where it should be to meet the service expectations of our community. I am also optimistic that our Legislature this year will amend some of the laws that restricted our officers’ ability to protect our community. Between those changes, the new officers coming on board, and the apparent decline of COVID-19, I fully expect we will see improvements in public safety and our service to the community. —CHIEF MIKE ZARO 32  Return to Agenda ABOUT LPD Lakewood’s 21 century department consists of st 95 commissioned police officers, two Community Service Officers, three Court Compliance Officers, two Animal Control Officers and seven civilian support staff.

However, the last two years have seen a sharp increase in both person crimes, such as assaults and shootings, and property crimes, including vehicle theft and shoplifting. Many of the same COVID-related booking restrictions that plagued us in 2020 continued in 2021. Restrictions placed on us by the new police reform legislation reduced our ability to catch and jail repeat offenders.

Perspective is everything when evaluating use of force. Only 8% of all arrests required any use of force, while 92% were compliant. And when we look at injuries sustained, about two-thirds of the subjects did not sustain any injury at all, and most of those who did were minor, requiring no medical treatment. 84% of our uses of force were during dispatched incidents, not including traffic stops or other investigative activity initiated by the officer.
