LAKEWOOD WELCOMES NEW POLICE CHIEF
The Lakewood Police Department has a new face at the top. Patrick D.
Smith joined the department in March 2023 as its newest Chief of Police
after the retirement of Chief Mike Zaro.
“I am honored and thrilled to be entrusted with this amazing opportunity,”
Smith said of his appointment. ”I look forward to getting to know the
community and the dedicated women and men of the Lakewood Police
Department. Working together we will continue to enhance the culture
of proactive community policing and exceptional service provided to our
residents and visitors.”
Smith joins Lakewood with over 32 years of law enforcement and
leadership experience. That includes four years as Police Chief of the
Birmingham Police Department and 28 years with the Los Angeles Police
Department.
While in his home state of Alabama, Smith demonstrated his strategic
management skills while running the largest law enforcement agency
in the state. That included increasing engagement with the community,
improving staff accountability, modernizing the department by adding a
Real Time Crime Center that integrated technology for the department,
and establishing personnel development programs.
In Los Angeles, Smith moved up the ranks from police officer to
commander and ultimately was the Assistant Commanding Officer for
the Police Sciences and Training Bureau. At the bureau he planned,
coordinated, managed and evaluated bureau-wide training operations
for the entire department, including oversight of three police academy
campuses. Smith was responsible for new hire training and in-service
training for a workforce of 10,000 employees. His bureau developed police
training policy and tactical directives after reviewing critical incidents.
As a captain of LAPD’s Metropolitan Division, Smith had tactical
management and oversight of large-scale events in the city of Los Angeles.
He managed SWAT operations, K-9 search events, mounted enforcement,
dignitary protection, the underwater dive team, crime suppression which
included hostage situations, and active shooting events.
Smith holds a Master of Arts in Organizational Management and a Bachelor
of Science in Business Management from the University of Phoenix. He
is a graduate of the FBI National Executive Institute and PERF’s Senior
Management Institute for Police. Smith also has certificate training from
the Straus Institute for Dispute Resolution at Pepperdine University in
Conflict Resolution for Law Enforcement. Additionally, he earned police
certifications in California and Alabama.
A proud Marine Corps Veteran, Smith looks forward to working with
neighboring Joint Base Lewis-McChord and the military community.

POLICING BY THE NUMBERS
Lakewood’s CRIME RATE has dropped since the formation of
our Department in 2004. Total crime has flattened out to 2019
numbers. Motor vehicle thefts have seen a sharp increase since
the recent restrictions on police pursuits, but violent crime and
thefts are down from last year. The jails and courts are starting
to recover from Covid restrictions, which should enable us to
hold more offenders accountable moving forward.

The total CALLS FOR SERVICE (CFS), remained flat while Dispatched
calls decreased significantly. This would indicate an increase in self-
initiated activity by Officers.
The top category of CFS was for Welfare Checks, which is most often
associated with substance use or mental health related incidents. We
have also seen a drastic increase in drug overdose calls. Our Patrol
Officers are trained in and carry Naloxone (Narcan) to administer to
those exhibiting signs of suffering a drug overdose and had several
applications last year.

USE OF FORCE
The Department requires officers to report every call where they used force,
including: use of a tool like a Taser or baton, incidents when physical force
is needed to subdue a suspect, or when an officer causes visible injury or
complaint of pain.
Perspective is everything when evaluating use of force. Only 6.91% of all
arrests required any use of force, meaning 93% of physical arrests were
compliant. In nearly three quarters of the uses of force, the citizen had no
injury or only a minor complaint of pain, requiring no medical treatment.

TO: Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Jeff Gumm, Housing Program Manager and Dave Bugher, Assistant
City Manager for Development Services
THROUGH: John J. Caulfield, City Manager
DATE: April 10, 2023
SUBJECT: Review funding allocation of $1 Million in HOME funds and $1.175
Million in HOME-ARP in support of Living Support Access Alliance
(LASA) Gravelly Lake Commons 25-unit affordable housing
development.
Background: This memorandum serves multiple purposes:
1) Provides a brief review of the LASA Gravelly Lake Commons development project;
2) Provides as a brief review of HOME & HOME-ARP programs;
3) Includes funding recommendations on HOME & HOME-ARP in support of the
Gravelly Lake Commons housing project.
What is the LASA Gravelly Lake Commons affordable housing development?
The Living Access Support Alliance (LASA) Gravelly Lake Commons development will
add 25 new units of affordable housing for low-income households. The project will
construct a mix of one, two and three bedroom units and will be located at the corner of
Gravelly Lake Drive, 59th Street SW and Fairlawn Drive SW. The project will be
considered phase 3 a four phased development, with the first being LASA’s development of
the Client Service Center and 15-units of affordable housing in 2015, and the second
consisting of the currently ongoing hygiene center expansion - shower, bathroom, laundry,
personal items and clothing bank, and computer access. Phase 4 will look to complete the
construction project with an additional 30 affordable units to be constructed sometime in
2027-28.
Affordable housing units constructed as a part of this project will serve low-income
households at or below 80% of area median income (AMI) with a focus on serving those at
30-50% AMI. A minimum of one unit will be set aside to serve eligible HOME-ARP
clientele. For Lakewood, a household of four would be considered low-income with a
maximum household income of $81,200. HOME regulations require that all HOME-
assisted units, at initial lease up, be rented to households at or below 60% AMI ($60,900 for
a household of four).
21
Return to Agenda
What does LASA’s development budget look like? Total construction costs for the Prairie
Oaks Commons 25-unit affordable housing development have been estimated at $10.5
Million. To date, LASA has been awarded $3.5 Million from Pierce County (ARPA funds)
and $1 Million in ARPA funding from the City of Lakewood. LASA is seeking $500,000 in
direct funding form the State of Washington and $2.5 Million in direct funding from the
federal government and has active applications to both entities.
What is HOME? Home Investment Partnership Program (HOME) was created by the
National Affordability Housing Act of 1990. The HOME program’s primary intent is to
increase the supply of decent, affordable housing for low- and very low-income households,
primarily through the rehabilitation of existing or the construction of new rental and
homeownership housing opportunities. Additional eligible activities include things like
tenant-based rental assistance, property acquisition, site improvements, project-related soft
costs, and homebuyer activities.
HOME funds carry various programmatic regulations which can be found at 24 CFR Part
92. Funds received must be committed to an eligible activity within two years of award and
expended within four years. Lakewood qualifies for HOME funding through the
consortium process as a member of the Tacoma-Lakewood HOME consortium.
Available HOME Funds: The City currently has $776,233 in pre-2023 HOME funds
allocated to the City’s affordable housing fund available for such projects. This amount,
will increase to $1,231,759 once the City approves and submits its FY 2023 Annual Action
Plan to HUD, which includes an additional $455,526 in HOME funds proposed to be
allocated to the affordable housing fund. 1
What is HOME-ARP? The American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act of 2021 provided $5 billion
in assistance for new federal homelessness assistance and supportive services programs.
These grant funds have been awarded to the 651 State and local participating jurisdictions
through the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME). Lakewood, through the
Tacoma-Lakewood Consortium, was awarded $1,175,489 in HOME-ARP funding.
HOME-ARP funds can be used for four eligible activities:
1) Production or Preservation of Affordable Housing;
2) Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA);
3) Supportive Services, Homeless Prevention Services, and Housing Counseling; and
4) Purchase and Development of Non-Congregate Shelter.
HOME-ARP funds must be used to primarily benefit individuals or families from the
following “qualifying populations” 2:
1
The FY 2023 Annual Action Plan was reviewed by Council on March 27, 2023 and is set for Council approval on
May 1, 2023. Submittal to HUD will be no later than May 15th with the new year funding cycle beginning July 1,
2023.
2
HOME-ARP clientele differs from standard HOME program clientele in that it focuses eligibility not upon
qualifying as a low-income household, but rather an eligible client must be homeless, at risk of homelessness, or
another vulnerable qualifying population.
22
Return to Agenda
1) Homeless, as defined in section 103(a) of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance
Act;
2) At-risk of homelessness, as defined in section 401(1) of the McKinney-Vento
Homeless Assistance Act;
3) Fleeing, or attempting to flee, domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault,
stalking, or human trafficking, as defined by the Secretary;
4) In other populations where providing supportive services or assistance under section
212(a) of the Act would prevent the family’s homelessness or would serve those with
the greatest risk of housing instability; and
5) Veterans and families that include a veteran family member that meet one of the
preceding criteria.
Funding was awarded through the City’s joint Lakewood-Tacoma HOME Consortium and
was included in Tacoma’s amendment to its FY 2021 Annual Action Plan as it relates to
HOME funding for both jurisdictions. Once committed, all HOME-ARP projects must be
completed within four years of the date of commitment of funds.
Recommended Council Action: April 17, 2023 Council agenda – authorize allocations of
$1,000,000 in HOME funds and $1,175,489 in HOME-ARP funds to Living Access Support
Alliance (LASA) for the Gravelly Lake Drive Commons 25-unit affordable housing project.
With these allocations, committed funding for the project would total $6,675,489 or 63.6%
of total budget. In addition to its financial contributions, the City of Lakewood is
advocating at the state and federal level for more funding to support this project.
Should LASA be successful in their state and federal asks, total committed funding would
rise to $9,675,489 or 92.1% of total budget.

SUBJECT: City Hall Utility Audit Update
ATTACHMENTS: Utility Audit PowerPoint
List of Acronyms and Energy Conservation Measure Definitions
BACKGROUND: Lakewood City Hall is over 20 years old and several of the building
systems are experiencing lifecycle issues. Over the next six years or three biennium’s, it is
recommended that the City update the City Hall HVAC system which includes three
components; the chillers (which create cold air); the boilers (that create warm air); and the
air handlers (which move the air through the building). All systems contribute to City Hall
air quality. Improving air quality was considered during ARPA project discussions and
Council appropriated $525,000 to update the HVAC system which was to include variable
ionization at City Hall.
However, the City learned while developing this work program that the state passed the
Clean Buildings law in 2019 requiring all commercial buildings over 50,000 sq. ft. to lower
cost and pollution from fossil fuel consumption. It took the State several years to develop,
define, and implement the program and notified the City in October 2021 of the new law
requirements which includes a June 1, 2028 deadline to bring City Hall into compliance.
In May, 2022, to prepare for the deadline and to ensure the City was complying with the
new building codes, Council approved an investment grade audit (IGA). Managed by the
Department of Commerce (DOC), the audit included a benchmarking period to determine
current energy use as well as developing a rough order of magnitude (ROM) for what
systems would need to be modernized or replaced and a cost breakdown for the various
phases and improvements to be made. The report has been completed and a summary will
be shared with Council at the April 10, 2023 study session. The attached charts breakdown
the proposed work and potential phases.

NEXT STEPS: In order to implement a facility upgrade project and to do the necessary
and/or selected improvements within the required timeline, engineering is needed to
develop the designs and plans needed to complete the work. We also need to allow time at
the end of the project to review energy savings to ensure we have met compliance by June 1,
2028.
The proposed path for implementation is a phased approach. The first part of this project is
to replace the existing low efficiency boilers with high efficiency gas fired condensing
boilers. The critical component to this task is the timing. The building code changes July 1,
2023 which will eliminate the gas fired boiler option and will have a significant impact on
the cost of implementing this phase of the project. A permit must be filed in advance of this
date to enable the city to purchase similar equipment to what we currently have in City Hall.
The remaining tasks can be phased over the next two budget cycles to make the physical
improvements necessary to compliant and meet the June 1, 2028 deadline.
Recommended Council Action: April 17, 2023 council agenda – authorize City manager
to approve an amendment to the existing IGA contract with DOC to do the mechanical,
structural and electrical design and engineering needed to submit permit for the boiler
replacement in advance of the July 1, 2023 deadline.
