What’s not happening? • This is not a request to add another fee on top of existing taxes. It is a request to change the way in which payments to the fire department are calculated. 5  Return to Agenda If approved, the Fire Benefit Charge would reduce property taxes by eliminating our Maintenance & Operations Levy and reducing our statutory rate of the Regular Levy by 33%. Current Funding Proposed Funding Method Method • EMS Levy • EMS Levy • Regular Levy • Regular Levy (reduced) • Maintenance & Operations • Fire Benefit Charge Levy 6  Return to Agenda How is it different? • An FBC is not a tax; it is not based on the assessed value of a parcel, and it does not apply to land. • An FBC is a fee calculated using a structure’s size, use, and fire risk factors. • An FBC considers that those who benefit more from the fire protection services should pay an equitable share to support the services. 7  Return to Agenda Why it matters..

Both homes would pay the same amount for their Fire Benefit Charge. In total, both homes would pay less to the fire department. 13  Return to Agenda Residential Home 2 Commercial Bldg.

With a Fire Benefit Charge, the home would pay less, and the commercial building would pay more, based on its size, use, and fire risk. 14  Return to Agenda What happens if the proposal is approved by voters? • Property taxes will be reduced by eliminating 100% of the District’s Maintenance & Operations Levy and reducing the statutory rate of the Regular Levy by 33%. • Single-family homeowners will generally see a reduction in what they pay to the fire department. 15  Return to Agenda Questions? 16  Return to Agenda More info at Westpierce.org/vote or e-mail questions to FBC@westpierce.org 17  Return to Agenda Proposed Rate Adjustment Presentation Lakewood City Council September 23, 2024 Rosa McLeod, Regional Relations Manager 18  Return to Agenda Tacoma Public Utilities Overview Our mission: We deliver clean, reliable services essential to quality of life.

Background: Lakewood City Council reviewed the 2022 Street End Update Report on February 13, 2023 which included a prioritization matrix. City Council provided feedback regarding future development and requested a pilot project be included in the 2025/26 parks CIP. In January City Council directed the PRAB to review this topic as part of their 2024 work program. Current Status: In advance of the July 23, 2024 PRAB meeting, board members received the 2022 street end report, street end project goals, Council strategic goals and the Legacy Plan. During the meeting the PRAB added new criteria and scoring values to the prioritization matrix to support the recommendation of a pilot project for the 2025/26 biennium. Criteria updates included safety and security (to take into account natural site surveillance), equity (based on area median income and health data), existing access to lakes, water quality of the lakes, linear feet of shoreline at each site, access to fishing (a highly requested activity) and if the improvements provided a significant change of use. Also noted was that cost estimates in the report assumed construction would occur in 2024, so a 5% cost escalation should be added to the budget each year until the projected is constructed. Street End Project Goals • Set an Example of Success for Future Street End Development • Support Equitable Access & Use 37  Return to Agenda • Maximize Return on Investment • Engage Community & Future Site Stewards • Consider Feasible Site Development & Timeline Street End Scoring Criteria: • Criteria categories included Need, Equity, Feasibility, Use, Cost and Safety and Security. o Need considers existing access, current use and the addition of a boat launch or fishing pier. o Equity considers ADA access and parking, median income and social and health indicators and disparities based on census blocks and water quality. o Feasibility considers the amount of and type of apparent encroachment to the site which could increase cost or delay development. o Use considers new value of developed recreational use and lineal feet of shoreline shows size and capacity for use of site. o Cost considers impact on the general fund. o Safety / Security includes natural site surveillance based on slope, existing tree canopy and impacts to site and neighbors Scoring Outcome: 1. Westlake Ave located on Lake Steilacoom 2. Lake City Blvd, located on American Lake 3. Wadsworth St., located on American Lake 4. Linwood Lane, located on Gravelly Lake Recommendation: The PRAB is recommending Westlake Ave as the pilot project for 2025/26 based on established criteria, project goals, scoring, site factors and feasibility of completing the project within the biennium. Although Westlake Ave and Lake City Blvd tied as the top sites based on scoring, the PRAB is recommending Westlake Ave because Westlake has no apparent encroachment, good natural site surveillance and has current community use. Also, Lake Steilacoom has less public access than American Lake. There was considerable discussion regarding the lack of access to Gravelly Lake, however, the PRAB emphasized that a successful pilot project could demonstrate positive community use and support which will likely increase trust and public support for future improvements. 38  Return to Agenda 2024 Updated Street Ends Matrix Summary Criteria Category Need Need Need Need Equity Equity Equity Equity Feasibility Use Use Cost Safety / Security Proposed Boat New Existing Lake Current ADA Access & Health & Social Apparent Development Natural Site Street End Site Lake Launch *Median Income by Water Quality New Value Shoreline LF SCORE Fishing Pier Public Access Community Use Parking Need Ranking Encroachment Cost Surveilance Improvements (2) >60K per household (0) Yes (0) None (0) None (2) Above 15 (3) Clear/Gravelly (-2) Structures (3) Significant (0) >30 (3) <$500k Scoring Criteria = Includes (1) Yes (2) Yes (1) 50-90K per (1) Open Views (5) None (2) Moderate (1) Access (1) 10-15 (2) American (1) Landscaping (1) Moderate (1) 30-50 (2) $300k-$499k TOTAL Proposed Site Development (0) No (0) No household (0) Obstructed Views (4) Heavy (2) Both (0) Below 10 (1) Steilacoom/Louise (2) None (0) None (3) >50 (1) >$500k (0)>90K per household 1.

VOICE VOTE WAS TAKEN AND MPU. PUBLIC COMMENT: Randi Stumpp expressed concern about the development of the pickle ball courts at Harry Todd Park and asked to consider keeping the skate park. NEW BUSINESS Recap of the Joint Council Meeting: After reviewing the meeting materials the Board asked about the Downtown Park. City Council shared that it is a priority and are assessing property purchases to support development. There was a good discussion about potential shared use of the Lake City School property and the H-Barn Restoration project which would create a much needed multi-use community facility and public gathering space. 6000 Main Street SW, Lakewood WA 98499 CityofLakewood.Us 40  Return to Agenda Street End Priority Matrix and Pilot Project Recommendation: Mary Dodsworth, Stacy Reding and Davi de la Cruz, Capital Projects Managers, presented a summary of the 2022 updated street end report and reviewed the 12 potential street end locations. The Board discussed the program goals, design elements and updated the prioritization matrix. The Board added criteria to the matrix to emphasize that there is no access to Gravelly Lake, however they didn’t believe that it was the right pilot project. Westlake met the project goals and was the biggest bang for the buck. Alan Billingsley motioned to approve Westlake Ave (on Lake Steilacoom) as the 2025/26 street end pilot project, seconded by Shelly Thiel. MPU Directors Report: Mary Dodsworth provides a director’s report including a summary of SummerFEST, Farmers Market, Concerts and the Lakewood Police Department 20th Anniversary, Primley Park Improvements (special meeting on July 31st @ 5:30 p.m.) National Night Out on August 6th and Urban Forestry.
