Summary
RCW 42.24 governs the process for audit and review of claims and payroll payments for the City. RCW 42.24.180
requires the review and approval of all payments at a regularly scheduled public meeting on at least a monthly
basis. The State Budgeting, Accounting and Reporting Systems (BARS) Manual outlines the above format for
approval by the City Council.
RCW 42.24.080 requires that all claims presented against the City by persons furnishing materials, rendering
services, or performing labor must be certified by the appropriate official to ensure that the materials have
been furnished, the services rendered, or the labor performed as described, and that the claims are just, due
and unpaid obligations against the City.
RCW 42.24.180 allows expedited processing of the payment of claims when certain conditions have been
met. The statute allows the issuance of warrants or checks in payment of claims before the legislative body
has acted to approve the claims when: (1) the appropriate officers have furnished official bonds; (2) the
legislative body has adopted policies that implement effective internal control; (3) the legislative body has
provided for review of the documentation supporting the claims within a month of issuance; and (4) that if
claims are disapproved, they shall be recognized as receivables and diligently pursued.
The City meets all these conditions.
To comply with the requirements, Finance staff schedule payment of claims and payroll for semi-monthly
Council approval on the Consent Agenda. The payments listed in the schedule cover all claims and payroll
payments during the period prior to the date of the Council meeting.
All payments made during this period were found to be valid claims against the City. Details are attached
and any questions should be directed to the City Manager or Finance Director.
The City’s internal controls include certification of the validity of all payments by the appropriate department
prior to submission for payment. The Finance Director has delegated authority for the examination of
vouchers and authorization of payments to the Finance, Accounts Payable, and Payroll staff. All payments
are reviewed and validated. The Finance Division regularly reviews its processes to ensure appropriate
internal controls are in place.

CITY OF MOSES LAKE
ENGINEERING DIVISION
May 15, 2020
TO: Fred Snoderly, Municipal Services Director
FROM: Wayne Ostler PLS, Development Surveyor
CC: Richard Law, City Engineer
RE: Penn Street City Property and Commercial Plat Alley
Background
On the October 9, 2018 council meeting, City Council adopted Resolution No. 3745, to
sell five (5) excess city properties, known as the Penn Street Operations Complex, to Joe A
Garro. The deed following the resolution, was prepared and recorded, included four (4) of the
properties. One of the properties that was in the resolution, and intended to be part of the sale,
was inadvertently excluded from the deed.
There also exists an alley right-of-way that crosses between several of the properties
running from North to South, from Penn Street to Wheeler Road, that is not developed, has no
utilities and is no longer needed as part of the roads system.
The city owns and operates water and sewer mains located within existing Penn Street
that serve two properties beyond the properties previously sold.
Proposed Action
The city property should be deemed surplus by the city and disposed/sold and the
public alley right-of-way should be vacated.
The city should also acquire water & sewer utility easements across the surplus property
and properties previously sold to Garro.
Valuation
Recent sales of adjacent properties were calculated at $2.16 per square foot (City
Properties to Garro) and $2.38 per square foot (Parcel 11-0475-027: Newton to Hall & Garro). I
propose that the city takes the average of the two property sales as a market value to rate
these, which calculates at $2.27 per square foot, for a Property Surplus and Alley Vacate, as
shown:
• Surplus Operations property (31,800 sf): $72,186.00
• Commercial Plat Alley Vacation (6,000 sf): $13,620.00

• Action Motion
Staff Report Summary
POW, Inc. has completed work for the Stratford Road Watermain Replacement Project 2019.
Background
The project consisted of replacing the existing asbestos concrete watermain in Stratford Road from
the bridge to the Highway 17 Right-of-Way in preparation for the repaving project in 2020. The
project also included patching and some sewer improvements.
The work completed is in the amount of $649,528.29. The original price for the contract was
$577,630.78. The additional work was due to needing to place the watermain deeper than
originally designed due to conflicts with existing utility crossings, which added extra asphalt
patching and labor to complete the work.
The work performed by the contractor is physically complete and ready for acceptance.
Fiscal and Policy Implications
Upon acceptance, the City will enter into the 60-day lien period as required by Washington State
Law.

Subject: Authorization for the City Manager to contract for homeless services
Legislative History:
• First Presentation: City Council Work Session December 2018
• Second Presentation: May 14, 2019 – City Council approved Resolution No. 3764
• Third Presentation: May 12, 2019 – City Council authorized the City Manager to contract for
homeless services
• Action: Motion to authorize the City Manager to contract for homeless services
OVERVIEW:
The Mayor and City Council have taken a number of actions with the respect to being an active participant
in the delivery of services to the homeless population. In December 2018, the Council held a work session
with the providers of services in an effort to understand the work being done to assist the homeless and
chronically homeless populations in Moses Lake. In May 2019, the Council passed Resolution 3764
electing to have the City operate its own homeless program. On August 13, 2019, the City Council passed
Resolution 3774 declaring the City’s intent to authorize a sales and use tax for affordable and supportive
housing.
Due to a turnover in staff, there has been some delay in initiating programs, however, with the onset of
the COVID pandemic, the need to provide a way for those most at risk to be housed, tested and
quarantined has provided an opportunity for funding to implement a progressive program to assist with
the chronic homelessness issue as identified in the Grant County Plan to End Homelessness. In that plan,
the January point in time count identified 63% of the unsheltered population was within Moses Lake.
On May 12, the City Council authorized the City Manager to enter into a contract for homeless services for
the purposes of establishing a temporary homeless camp on the Longview property. As a result of that
action, the community has asked the City Council to reconsider the action and the location.

BACKGROUND:
With the onset of the COVID pandemic, Grant County received $388,000 to create a plan for the
identification of, housing of, and quarantining of populations that are at risk. The plan needed to be
signed off on by the Public Health Officer. The funding was intended to create additional emergency
shelter space, increase access to sanitation and hygiene and address the costs of the displacement. The
plan needed to be done in partnership with the largest city.
As a result of the effort, the City has developed the first phase of a plan for the chronically homeless and a
request for proposals was issued for a qualified non-profit as a partner in an initial and long term plan to
provide a progressive response to the housing need for those most at risk in Moses Lake. One response
was received to the RFP from HopeSource. The Longview Tracks area had been identified in the prior
process carried out by the City Council’s homeless committee. The plan would provide for a temporary
camp and the partnership with the non-profit would provide for a long-term plan to develop the park
space (intended use of the site) and a site for permanent supportive housing and wrap around services.
The cost of the plan is being covered by $170,000 of the COVID dollars received by the County.
After the May 12 action, notice was provided to the neighborhood and the site was posted. Significant
input was received by city staff and the Mayor and Council. At the request of the Mayor, the issue is being
rescheduled for the May 26th meeting and several options are being considered for action.
