SUMMARY STATEMENT
Since June 16, 2014 the City of Liberty Lake has chartered with Durham Services for transporting CHILL

we needed to identify other transportation options.
Central Valley School District agreed to loan the City of Liberty Lake three nine-passenger buses for the
duration of CHILL Day Camp, ending on August 22nd.
The attached agreement with CVSD allows the City greater flexibility with the transportation needs of
the CHILL Day Camp program and allows staff to get the children back to Pavillion Park on time.
Driver’s training has been provided for staff and DMV driving records and insurance requirements have
been provided to CVSD.
This program operates as cost neutral.

With Solid Waste Consultant
DEPT. HEAD APPROVAL: Katy Allen DEPT. OF ORIGIN: Administration
EXHIBIT: None
EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: Yes
BUDGETED: Yes, included in the 2014 Budget.
SUMMARY STATEMENT
The City of Liberty Lake’s Interlocal Solid Waste service agreement expires November 16, 2014. In
anticipation of the upcoming contract expiration, City staff has diligently worked to identify options
for City Council’s consideration related to Solid Waste rates and a service model that best meets the
needs of our residents.
During our research phase and after conversations with many Cities throughout Washington State,
City staff and the City Attorney has become aware of the rate setting and operational complexities
involved with negotiating contracts and managing municipal solid waste systems.
All jurisdictions that we spoke with retain solid waste management consultant services to assist and
advise on collection and disposal contracts.
City staff is currently in the process of interviewing solid waste consultants. Due to time sensitivity,
staff is requesting the City Council authorize up to $10,000 for solid waste and disposal consulting
services, and authorize staff to negotiate and execute a professional services consulting agreement.
This request does not require a 2014 budget amendment.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Authorize up to $10,000 for Solid Waste Consulting Services.
2. Authorize City staff to negotiate and execute a Solid Waste Consultant Professional Services
Agreement.

City Staff will present options and pricing for the equipment at Town Square at the Council Meeting on

BUSINESS OF THE CITY COUNCIL, LIBERTY LAKE, WASHINGTON
SUBJECT: Appleway Av / Liberty Lake Rd FOR THE AGENDA OF: July 15, 2014
Signal Redesign
DEPT. HEAD APPROVAL: DEPT. OF ORIGIN: Public Works
EXHIBIT: Professional Services Authorization
EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: Yes
BUDGETED: Yes
SUMMARY STATEMENT
To ensure the City provides the best and most cost effective design for the needs of our
community we are proposing to engage the services of Welch Comer for the Appleway Av / Liberty Lake
Rd Signal Redesign project.
Our existing signal is 15 – 20 years old and the equipment lacks functionality that could help
alleviate our traffic backups at the intersection. The updated equipment will also provide the option of
connecting to our regional traffic management center.
We plan to pay for most of this through a grant that we are applying for through TIB. The City
would have matching funds If we are not successful with the grant application we would propose
paying for the signal upgrade with streets dollars.
Each of the services provided in the Professional Services Agreement will be authorized by staff
before allowing Welch Comer to proceed.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Authorize Mayor to sign the agreement with Welch Comer.

Purchase of Automated License Plate Reader
DEPT. OF ORIGIN: Police
EXHIBIT: DEPT. HEAD APPROVAL: Chief Brian Asmus
Resolution for Sole Source Purchase
Quote for Automated License Plate Reader
EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: Yes
BUDGETED: Yes
SUMMARY STATEMENT
The Liberty Lake Police Department is requesting to purchase an Automated License Plate Reader camera
system and corresponding software and software licenses. The camera system will be installed in one of the
new patrol cars that is being delivered later this year. The software and licensing component allows for each
of the patrol cars to run software that provides an alert and GPS location when the car with the system
locates a vehicle that has been entered into the system. (i.e. stolen cars, amber alerts, missing persons,
suspect vehicles, etc.) The City of Spokane has agreed to provide us access to their current ALPR server,
thereby reducing the overall expense of implementing the system. However, to be able to use the SPD
server, we are required to use the same vendor that they are using for the camera hardware. Therefore, the
Liberty Lake Police Department is requesting that this purchase be considered a sole source provider. This
equipment purchase was approved as an expenditure during the 2014 budget process and will be paid for
from the computers and equipment line item.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Pass the Resolution to waive the competitive bid requirements based upon a sole source purchase
and authorize the purchase of an automated license plate reader camera system.
RESOLUTION NO. 14-184
CITY OF LIBERTY LAKE
SPOKANE COUNTY, WASHINGTON
A RESOLUTION WAIVING THE COMPETITIVE BID REQUIREMENTS DUE
TO A SOLE SOURCE PURCHASE AND AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASE OF
AN AUTOMATED LICENSE PLATE READER CAMERA SYSTEM
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that based upon research by the Liberty Lake Police
Department, the purchase of an automated license plate reader camera system is appropriate due
to the exclusiveness and quality of the product; and
WHEREAS, RCW 39.04.280 provides that a local agency, by Resolution, may waive
the competitive bidding requirements when the purchase is clearly and legitimately limited to a
single source of supply, or when the purchase involves special facilities or market conditions;
and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that there is an automated license plate reader
camera system supplier that will meet the specific facilities of the Liberty Lake Police
Department by utilizing the current computer server and facilities located at the Spokane Police
Department; and
WHEREAS, the manufacturer of the computer software is the sole source of supply, and
such software creates a special market condition because of the compatibility of the sole source
supplier and facilities; and
WHEREAS, it is appropriate for the City Council under RCW 39.04.280 to waive
the bidding requirements for the above reasons; and
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby resolved by the City Liberty Lake City Council
the following:
1. The competitive bidding requirements for the automated license plate reader
camera system is waived as this is a sole source purchase involving special facilities and
market conditions and compatibility with the certain software, and
2. The City’s purchase for the automated license plate reader camera system
manufactured by 3M is authorized in the amount not to exceed $17,500, which includes
taxes, installation, and training.

SUBJECT: FOR THE AGENDA OF: July 15th, 2014
Purchase of Start Pump Controller
DEPT. OF ORIGIN: Golf Course
EXHIBIT:
A – Price Quotes for Controller
B - Resolution for Emergency Purchase
DEPT. HEAD APPROVAL: RJ Stevenson
EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: $5,652.40
BUDGETED: Would qualify as a Building and Equipment Contingency Purchase
SUMMARY STATEMENT
On June 25th, it came to the attention of City Staff that the Golf Course Well Pump could no longer
function in its current state. The pump was overheating causing it to shut down at any time. The Golf
Course requires keeping this pump working when in use and not shut down. Staff attempted to cool
the machine with fans, however, with wet conditions and having to leave the pump panel open creates
an unnecessary risk to staff. The recommendation to fix the issue was to install a 75 hp Soft Start
Pump Controller that would better monitor the pump and the ability to restart the pump if it was to
shut down.
Per Financial Management Policy (Purchasing 1610 – VI) Staff is recommending that City Council
acknowledge that an emergency existed through the passage of the attached resolution.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Pass the Resolution to acknowledge an emergency existed for the purchase of the 75 HP Soft
Start Pump Controller.
RESOLUTION NO. 14-186
CITY OF LIBERTY LAKE
SPOKANE COUNTY, WASHINGTON
A RESOLUTION WAIVING THE COMPETITIVE BIDDING REQUIREMENTS

OF A SOFT START PUMP CONTROLLER
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that based upon the nature of the condition of the well
pump located at the Trailhead Golf Course and the safety of City employees, the emergency
purchase of a 75 hp soft start pump controller was necessary to keep the pump running
accurately, safely, and preventing material damage or loss to the golf course; and
WHEREAS, RCW 39.04.280 provides that a local agency, by Resolution, may waive the
competitive bidding requirements when the purchase is in the event of an emergency in order to
provide the ability to respond and not compromise the safety of City staff, the irrigation needs of
the golf course, and preventing material damage or loss to the golf course; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that an emergency existed to purchase a 75 hp soft
start pump controller for the well pump to function accurately, safely, and preventing the material
damage or loss to the golf course; and
WHEREAS, it is appropriate for the City Council under RCW 39.04.280 to waive the
competitive bidding requirements for the above reasons; and
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby resolved by the City Liberty Lake City Council the
following:
1. The emergency purchase of a 75 hp soft start pump controller for $5,652.40 to
Specialty Pump Service was necessary for the safety of City Staff, the need to irrigate the
Trailhead Golf Course, and preventing damage or loss to the golf course.
