AGENDA ITEM NO.: 12Bi
BUSINESS OF THE CITY COUNCIL, LIBERTY LAKE, WASHINGTON
SUBJECT: Proposed Change Order #2 - Orchard FOR THE AGENDA OF: July 10, 2018
Park Project
DEPT. HEAD APPROVAL: DEPT. OF ORIGIN: Public Works
EXHIBIT: Change Order #2 – Options, Scope & Costs Tabulation
EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: Yes
BUDGETED: No – Budget Amendment is required
SUMMARY STATEMENT
Background – Construction of Orchard Park is well underway. Low bidder, Bacon Concrete, was awarded the
base bid and Alternates 1 and 2 ($2,352,691.20) plus a contingency of $118,000 on April 10, 2018 to construct
the 11.2-acre public park. Bids came in above the Budget and the Engineer’s Estimate; therefore, several items
were not included in the award.
Change Order #1 – was approved on May 15, 2018 and included buy out of scope to improve phasing efficiency
and reduce/eliminate future demolition: $ 47,831.58 paid for with the contingency. (see attached)
Proposed Change Order #2 – After evaluating the escalating construction market, the additional soft costs to
repackage the remaining work, constructability and future impact to staff resources, we negotiated Change
Order #2 with Bacon Concrete for Council’s consideration. Change Order #2 includes Site Lighting, Maintenance
Bldg. pad, South Parking Lot, Picnic Shelters (2), Sport Court, Site Furnishings, 5-12 yr old Play Structure and a
Slide Hill. Several scope items are not included in Change Order #2 due to our evaluation of little or no
constructability or monetary savings to be gained. (see attached)
Based on Council comments, Change Order #2 can be awarded with or without the slide hill: $561,334.34 with
Slide Hill or $460,588.54 without the Slide Hill.
CVSD has requested an additional 2 tennis courts be constructed at their expense. In the event that the Council
approves Change Order #2, then staff we will bring back an MOU with CVSD for construction of an additional 2
tennis courts for Council’s consideration.
We believe that the approved contingency of $118,000 is sufficient to cover unforeseen work and we are not
requesting any additional contingency to cover Change Order #2.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends:
1. Award Change Order #2 for $561,334.34 (incl. Slide Hill)
2. Or Award Change Order #2 for $460,585.54 (no Slide Hill)

TOTALS $515,932.30 $45,402.04 $561,334.34
NOTES:
Pavilion – recommend bidding in 2019. The current price has increased to $595,822 for steel and
$531,580 for wood. Delay bidding to outside of the construction season will likely bring more
competitive pricing.
Maintenance Building – Recommend funding and constructing in 2019

be done with a Change Order between the School District and Bacon Concrete

RESOLUTION
AGENDA ITEM NO.: 13a
BUSINESS OF THE CITY COUNCIL, LIBERTY LAKE, WASHINGTON
SUBJECT: Update to Six Year TIP, 2019-2024 FOR THE AGENDA OF: July 10, 2018
DEPT. HEAD APPROVAL: DEPT. OF ORIGIN: Public Works
EXHIBIT: Draft Six Year Transportation
Improvement Plan (TIP)
EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: Not Applicable
BUDGETED: Not Applicable
SUMMARY STATEMENT
This is an update to our Six Year Transportation Plan (TIP). Since last year there have not been any updates
to the Harvard Road Mitigation Plan that would affect the TIP. The document before you has separated
maintenance projects from capital projects and listed them in the order that we suggest are based on need
and funding potential. As stated last year, the first two years are the most important and that the last four
are much more fluid and can be rearranged as priorities change. Although not new, we have separated the
E Mission Project into two projects.
Projects shown in 2018 that are not completed yet include:
1. Traffic signals at E. Appleway and Signal Road
2. Roundabout at E. Mission and Harvest Parkway to be completed by others
We are required to file a six year TIP with the Secretary of Transportation (RCW 35.77.010). The list can be
rearranged/amended at any time during the year and individual projects are still approved by Council. This
resolution does authorize City staff to pursue funds for these projects as opportunities arise.
The City maintains a separate Street Maintenance list. The projects on the TIP are primarily capital in
nature, while Maintenance projects are generally restricted to reconstruction and overlays of the existing
roadway. There is some overlap between the two depending on the location of the project.
A non-project SEPA notice has been sent out to inform the public of our intent to file a 6 year TIP for the
years 2019-2024.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Recommend approval of the Six Year TIP as presented and pass resolution regarding the Six Year TIP
for the years 2019-2024.
RESOLUTION NO. 18-241
CITY OF LIBERTY LAKE
SPOKANE COUNTY, WASHINGTON

the updated TIP at City Hall, Liberty Lake, Washington, on June 19, 2018.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Liberty Lake

Liberty Lake City Council Rules of Procedure
Adopted by: Resolution 12-156E
These rules shall be considered the Rules of Procedure for the City of Liberty Lake City
Council operating under the Mayor/Council form of government. For decisions on points of order,
the City shall be governed by the most recent edition of Roberts Rules of Order, a copy of which is
maintained in the office of the Liberty Lake City Clerk.
1. GENERAL RULES
1.1 Meetings to Be Public: All meetings of the Council shall be open to the public with
the exception of executive sessions as defined in RCW Chapter 42.30.
1.2 Respect and Decorum: It is the duty of the Mayor and Council members to
maintain dignity and respect for their offices, city staff and the public. While the
Council is in session, the Council members shall preserve order and decorum and a
member shall neither, by conversation or otherwise, delay or interrupt the
proceedings of the Council, nor disrupt or disparage any member while speaking.
Council members and the public shall obey the orders of the Mayor.
Any person making disruptive, disparaging or impertinent remarks or unreasonably
disturbing the business of the Council, either while addressing the Council or
attending its proceedings, shall be asked to leave the meeting. Continued disruptions
may result in a recess or adjournment.
1.3 Quorum: Four Council members shall constitute a quorum and be necessary for the
transaction of business. If a quorum is not present, those in attendance will be named
and they shall adjourn to a later time, but no adjournment shall be for a longer period
than until the next regular meeting.
1.4 Attendance, Excused Absences: Election to the office of City Council means
that the citizens have entrusted City Council members with significant
responsibilities in the area of governance and leadership. Regular attendance at
City Council meetings is essential in fulfilling those responsibilities. The
following policies are intended to establish minimum acceptable criteria for City
Council meeting attendance. A Council member shall forfeit his/her office by
failing to attend three (3) consecutive regular meetings of the Council without being
excused by the Council. RCW 35A.l3.020 and 35A.l2.060.
Members of the Council may be excused from a meeting by contacting the Mayor
or Mayor Pro Tem. The Mayor, or Mayor Pro Tem, shall inform the Council of
the member's absence, state the reason for such absence and inquire if there is a
motion to excuse the member.
1
The following are examples of appropriate reasons for excusing an absence:
illness, family emergency, or business obligation.
Upon passage of such motion by a majority of members present, the absent member
shall be considered excused and the appropriate notation will be made in the minutes.
If the motion is not passed or the above procedure is not followed, the minutes will
reflect that the absence is unexcused.
1.5 Attendance via Speakerphone (AVS): From time to time, a Council member will
not be able to physically attend a Council meeting, but will want to be involved in the
discussion and/or decision on a particular agenda item. The procedure and guidelines
for permitting a Council member to attend a Council meeting via speakerphone are as
follows:
A. The Rare Occasion – AVS should be the rare exception, not the rule, and AVS
is limited to two (2) times per year per Council member. Examples of situations
where AVS would be appropriate include, but are not limited to:
An agenda item is time sensitive, and AVS is needed for a quorum;
An agenda item is of very high importance to the Council member who
cannot be physically present;
It is important for all Council members to be involved in a decision, but one
Council member is unable to be physically present.
AVS should be limited to one or two specific agenda items, and not the entire
Council meeting.
Examples of situations where AVS would not be appropriate include, but are not
limited to:
Quasi-judicial hearings;
Other public hearing(s) where maps, display boards, power point
presentations, or similar graphic presentations are being utilized; and
Non hearing agenda items which depend substantially on visual aids and/or
graphic presentations.
B. Attendance – Procedure
1. For a Council member to attend via speakerphone the Council member:
a. must be able to hear the discussion on the agenda item before the Council,
and
b. must be able to be heard by all present in the Council chambers.
2. When the particular agenda item is ready to be discussed, the Mayor (or
presiding officer, if the Mayor is not physically present) should state for the
record:
a. Let the record reflect that Council member _____________ is attending
via speakerphone.
b. Council member ______________ , can you hear me? [There must then
be a clearly audible response in the affirmative.]
c. Let the record reflect that Council member __________________ , who
is attending via speakerphone, can be heard by all present in Council
chambers.
2
3. Upon conclusion of the particular agenda item(s), or meeting, the Mayor (or
presiding officer if the Mayor is not physically present) should state:
Let the record reflect that Council member ________________’s
attendance via speakerphone has been terminated.
C. Notification
If a Council member wishes to attend a Council meeting via speakerphone for an
agenda item or meeting, the Council member should notify Council of his/her
intent at the preceding Council meeting. This notification should be made during
the Introduction of Upcoming Agenda Items.
If that is not possible, the Council member should notify the Mayor or Mayor’s
designee of his/her wish to attend a Council meeting via speakerphone for an
agenda item or meeting, not later than one (1) business day prior to the Council
meeting for which he/she wishes to attend via speakerphone. With less notice, it
may not be possible to make the necessary arrangements to allow AVS.

shall attend all meetings of the City Council unless excused by the Mayor. The City
Administrator may report and make recommendations to the City Council and when
requested shall participate in Council discussions. The City Attorney, upon request,
from the Mayor or Council, shall give an opinion on legal questions. The City Clerk
shall keep the minutes of the Council, record all Council votes and actions and
perform such other duties as necessary for the orderly conduct of the meeting.

committees shall be open to the media, freely subject to recording by radio, television

interest or any appearance of fairness issues. After all disclosures are made, the
Chair will ask if any party to the quasi-judicial matter desires to challenge or
request a Council member abstain from the decision on the matter. The challenge
shall be placed on the record.
8. DUTIES AND PRIVILEGES OF CITIZENS
8.1 Meeting Participation: Citizens are welcome at all Council meetings and are
encouraged to attend and participate. Recognition of a speaker by the Chair is a
prerequisite for an orderly and effective meeting. It is expected that all speakers will
deliver their comments in a courteous and efficient manner and will speak only to the
subject under consideration.
8.2 Citizen Comments: Under agenda item “Citizens Comments" citizens may address
any item they wish to discuss with the Mayor and Council by completing and
submitting a yellow “Request to Speak” form. They shall first obtain recognition by
the Chair who shall then allow the comments, subject to a three (3) minute limitation
per speaker, or other limitations as the Chair or Council may deem necessary. The
Chair and Council will receive comments without reply or discussion unless the
Chair or Council request clarification. Following such comments, if action is required
or has been requested, the Chair may place the matter on the current agenda or a
future agenda or refer the matter to staff or a Council Committee for action or
investigation and a report at a future meeting.
8.3 Subjects on the Current Agenda: Pursuant and subject to Section 8.2, any
member of the public who wishes to address the Council on an item on the current
agenda shall make such request to the Chair by completing and submitting a Request
to Speak form.

Council and not to any individual member. No questions shall be asked of the
Council members.
10
8.5 Written Communications: Interested parties, or their authorized representatives,
may address the Council by written communication in regard to any general matter
concerning the City. The written communication may be submitted by direct mail or
by addressing the communication to the City Clerk who will distribute copies to the
Council members. The communication will be entered into the record, if requested by
the party.
8.6 "Out of Order" Comments: Any person whose comments have been ruled out of
order by the Chair shall immediately cease and refrain from further improper
comments. The refusal of an individual to desist from inappropriate, disparaging or

the individual to removal from the Council Chambers.
9. FILLING COUNCIL VACANCIES AND SELECTING MAYOR [PRO TEM]
9.1 Notice of Vacancy: If a Council vacancy occurs, the Council will follow the
procedures outlined in RCW 35A.13.020. In order to fill the vacancy with the most
qualified person available until an election is held, the Council will distribute and
publish a notice of the vacancy, the procedure and deadline for applying for the
position.
9.2 Application Procedure: The Council will draw up an application form which
contains relevant information. The application form will be used in conjunction with
an interview of each candidate to aid the Council's selection of the new Council
member.
9.3 Interview Process: All qualified candidates who submit an application by the
deadline will be interviewed by the Council during a regular or special Council
meeting open to the public. The order of the interviews will be determined by
drawing names. To promote fairness, applicants will be asked to remain outside the
Council Chambers while other applicants are being interviewed. Applicants may be
asked to answer questions submitted to them in advance of the interview and
questions posed by each Council member during the interview process. The Council
members will ask the same questions of each candidate. Each candidate will then be
allowed two (2) minutes for closing comments.
9.4 Selection of Council Member: The Council may recess into executive session to
discuss the qualifications of all candidates. Nominations, voting and selection of a
person to fill the vacancy will be conducted during an open public meeting.
9.5 Duties of Mayor Pro Tem: In the temporary absence of the Mayor, the Mayor Pro
Tem shall perform the duties and responsibilities of the Mayor with regard to the
conduct of meetings and business of the City.
11
9.6 Selection of Mayor [Pro Tem] Nominations: The Mayor Pro Tem will be
selected by the Council members. The term for Mayor Pro Tem shall be two (2) years
from the date of election. Council members may each nominate one person for Mayor
Pro Tem. Nominations require a second.
Each Council member shall be given the opportunity to submit a nomination for
Mayor Pro Tem. After all nominations are made, the Mayor will call for a vote on the
nominations in the order they were made. Voting will be either by voice or a recorded
vote as determined by the Mayor. As soon as one nominee receives a majority vote of
four (4) votes of the Council, that Council member will be declared the Mayor Pro
Tem. No votes will be taken on the remaining nominees.
9.7 Removal of Mayor Pro Tem: The Mayor Pro Tern may be removed from office
upon a vote of four Council members.
10. PREPARATION OF AGENDA
10.1 Staff Duties: The City Clerk, under the direction of the Mayor or his or her designee,

each item to be considered by the Council. The agenda prior to submission to the

available at City Hall for the media and public on the Friday before the regular

suspended by a vote of a majority of the Council.
