LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT STATEMENT
Our land acknowledgement is a statement we read to recognize
indigenous peoples, who are the original stewards of the lands on
which we now live, work, and recreate.
The City is a proud partner of the Snoqualmie Tribe, and we feel it is
important to recognize the history and connection tribes have always
had to these lands.
Therefore, we will now read our statement:

KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY:
Summary
In early 2024, the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) Local
1425 and the City entered into their first successor Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). The CBA
became effective February 27, 2024, and will expire on December 31, 2026. In May 2026, the City and
the Union began negotiating a successor agreement. The Parties realized that due to a transition in the
City Manager position, the unknown of how the City plans to navigate its fiscal sustainability issues,
and the outstanding issues related to performance reviews and compensation associated with them, it
would be difficult to negotiate a long-term deal. As a result, the Parties discussed the idea of extending
the current agreement through 2027. After a period of negotiations, the Parties reached an agreement
on a contract extension.
This MOU memorializes the Parties’ agreement for a short-term extension of the current, underlying
CBA subject to the terms and conditions of the MOU. It extends the term of the agreement to
Page 4 of 46
NEW BUSINESS #2.
December 31, 2027, provides an alternative process for performance pay increases in 2026 and 2027
(replacing the Performance Pay MOU approved by Council on September 16, 2025), and sets a COLA
for 2027.
Next Steps
Staff is asking for the Council's direction to the Interim City Manager to execute the MOU (Exhibit 1).
Notably, the Public Employees Collective Bargaining Act ("PECBA"), RCW 41.56, governs all aspects of
collective bargaining, leaving the Council without the discretion to modify the CBA. However, the City
Council is the "public employer" under PECBA, so they must approve the CBA.
Staff recommends that this approval be in the form of a motion directing the City Manager to execute
the MOU.
RELATED CITY GOALS, POLICIES, AND MASTER PLANS:
This agreement comports with Council's goals of high performing governing and fiscal sustainability.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
by and between the
City of Sammamish, Washington
and the
Washington State Council of County and City Employees, AFSCME Council 2 Local 1425
This Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) is entered into by and between the
e m p l o y e r City of Sammamish (the "City") and the Washington State Council of County and

how the City plans to navigate its fiscal sustainability issues, and the outstanding issues
related to performance reviews and compensation associated with them, it would be
difficult to negotiate a long-term deal.
D. Based on the foregoing, the Parties shifted their focus onto a short-term extension to
provide time for the City to recruit a new permanent City Manager, chart a course of
action for ongoing fiscal sustainability, and resolve the performance review and pay

City Council Study Session
July 14, 2026
SUBJECT: Fiscal Sustainability Continued - Financial Practices Recommendation
DATE SUBMITTED: July 07, 2026
DEPARTMENT: Finance
NEEDED FROM COUNCIL: ☐ Action ☑ Direction ☐ Informational
RECOMMENDATION: Receive the staff presentation, ask questions, and provide direction on
financial practices.
EXHIBITS:
BUDGET:
Total dollar amount - ☐ Approved in budget
Fund(s) - ☐ Budget reallocation required
☐ No budgetary impact
WORK PLAN FOCUS AREAS:

☐ Communication & Engagement ☐ Community Livability
☐ High Performing Government ☐ Culture & Recreation
☐ Environmental Health & Protection ☑ Financial Sustainability
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY:
Summary
As part of the 2027-2028 budget process and continuation of the discussion on the City's structural
imbalance in the general fund (main operating fund for the City), staff has reviewed some of our
financial practices and want to provide background on a few key practices as well as recommendations
for minor adjustments that will increase ongoing revenue in the general fund. Each will be discussed
below and will include a staff recommendation.
Interest Earnings Allocation
The City earns interest through several different investment strategies including short-term
investments in the Local Government Investment Pool (LGIP), which is run by the State of Washington.
Longer-term investments are handled by Washington State Treasury Management System. There is a
fee charged by the State to manage the long-term investments on our behalf as well as staff time to
process the monthly accounting transactions. Beginning in 2023, investment earnings increased
significantly due to increased interest rates and higher cash balances available for investing.
Page 8 of 46
UNFINISHED BUSINESS #3.
Current practice is to allocate interest earnings monthly to all funds based on cash balances, but we do
not recoup the cost of the fees charged or the staff time it takes to do the accounting and record the
transactions. Given the City's new full indirect cost allocation model, the City could "charge" the other
funds the indirect cost rate to recover the cost of the finance department providing accounting
services to each fund. The one exception would be the surface water fund as will already be charged a
full indirect cost allocation beginning in 2027. More on the indirect cost allocation in a later section of
this memo. If the Finance department was recovering the cost of providing this service to the other
funds, in 2025, the general fund would have received approximately $300 thousand in revenue from
other funds.
Staff recommendation: Beginning in 2027, charge the other funds an indirect cost rate to recoup the
cost of providing investment accounting services to other funds. This will increase ongoing revenue to
the general fund. One caution, as existing fund balance is utilized and/or interest rates decline, this
revenue source, while ongoing, will decline over time.
Real Estate Excise Tax (REET 1 and REET 2)
The City currently receives both REET 1 and REET 2. Both REET 1 and REET 1 are restricted revenues
and can be used only for eligible capital projects, with limited exceptions. Revenues can be used for
planning, acquisition, construction, reconstruction, repair, replacement, rehabilitation, or
improvement to a wide range of capital projects including: streets, roads, sidewalks, street and road
lighting systems, traffic signals, storm/sanitary sewer systems, parks, recreation facilities, trails, public
safety facilities, and administrative facilities. REET 1 and REET 2 may not be used for developing or
updating a capital facilities plan (CFP) or capital improvement plan (CIP), but they can be used for
design, engineering, surveys, etc. associated with a qualifying project that is listed in the CFP or CIP.
Additionally, cities can use up to $100 thousand or 35% of REET 1 and REET 2 (whichever is greater) for
operations, maintenance, and service support of existing capital projects.
Currently, the City receipts 50% of REET revenue in the Parks Capital Improvement Fund and the
remaining 50% of REET revenue in the Transportation Capital Improvement Fund. This has been the
practice the past several years and can be reviewed and adjusted during the budget development or
budget amendment process as there is currently no legislation (ordinance or resolution) that would
need to be updated in order to adjust the current split of 50/50 between the two capital funds.
Staff recommendation: Leave the split as is until the CIP has been drafted. Any desired adjustments can
be done as part of the budget review process.
Surface Water Indirect Cost Allocation
Cost allocation is a method to calculate and assign the cost of central services to the internal users of
those costs. Cost allocation enables the City to more accurately account for the complete cost of the
services it provides to the public. And to assess the fees it should charge the users. The indirect cost
allocation can be used to include an overhead rate when billing for services provided like the proposal
for interest earnings calculations mentioned above. It can also be used to ensure that enterprise
funds, which operate like a separate business from the general government, are paying the full share
of indirect costs including Finance, HR, IT, and City Manager services.
Currently, the Surface Water fund is charged an direct cost of approximately $450 thousand a year but
only captures the cost of facilities and fleet. In 2025, the City had a full indirect cost allocation model
developed that can be used for including a defensible overhead rate when billing for services rendered
and can be use to fully recover the indirect costs provided by the general government (Finance, HR, IT,
Page 9 of 46
UNFINISHED BUSINESS #3.
etc.) to the surface water fund. By charging the surface water utility fund the full cost of centralized
costs provided, the general fund ongoing revenue could increase by close to $600-$700 thousand
annually.
Staff recommendation: Beginning in 2027, after the current model is updated with 2025 actuals and
draft 2027-2028 budget figures, charge the surface water utility the full indirect cost, thereby
increasing ongoing revenue by several hundred thousand dollars a year.
Comprehensive Fee Study
It is a best practice to update City fees on a regular basis and ensure that cost recovery goals are being
met. Staff is currently working on updating the fee model used to determine development fees.
Updating development fees is part of the biennial budget process and Council can expect to see
legislation later this year with the proposed fees. As part of the presentation on the draft fees, staff
will share cost recovery goals.
In addition to development fees, the City also sets several other user fees including recreation, field
use, rental fees, and business licenses. These fees should also be reviewed and updated on a regular
basis.
Staff recommendation: Staff is recommending to review and update user fees in 2027, an off-budget
year. Staff does not currently have capacity to take this on in 2026 but would like to add it to the work
plan for 2027 and include any adjustments to user fees as either part of the mid-biennium
amendments or as part of the 2029-2030 biennial budget.
Conclusion
Adjusting how interest earnings is allocated and charging the surface water enterprise fund the full
indirect costs provided by the general government, ongoing revenue to the general fund can be
increased by close to $1 million a year in the short term. As a reminder, as fund balance declines
and/or interest rates drop, the revenue generated by charging other funds the indirect cost will decline
over time.

Building 120 Feasibility Study – Progress Update
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY:
Summary
At its Regular Meeting on June 2, 2026, City Council directed staff to complete the following additional
work, and incorporate the findings into the community engagement process associated with Phase 2 of
the Building 120 Feasibility Assessment:
1. Conduct a market analysis of the buildings at Big Rock Park South.

Rock Park South project. Additional funding may be added to the contract in the future, subject to City
Council authorization for subsequent phases of the project.
Potential Sale of the Property
The City's real estate consultant will obtain an appraisal of Building 120 through a licensed appraiser.
The appraisal will be completed under the City's on-call real estate services contract with Long Bay
Enterprises, Inc.
Potential Lease of the Property
Staff worked with the City's real estate consultant to develop a draft questionnaire to gauge interest
from qualified private operators in leasing Building 120. The draft JotForm is included as Exhibit 1 to
this agenda bill.
Next Steps
Staff will return to City Council in the fall to present:
The results of the market analysis for the buildings at Big Rock Park South.
The property appraisal.
A summary of responses received from potential private operators interested in leasing
Building 120.
Background
The Building 120 Feasibility Assessment and Community Use Planning project is a three-phase
evaluation and planning effort to help determine the future of the City-owned facility located at 120
228th Avenue NE. City Council approved the consultant contract on January 20, 2026.
On April 21, 2026, Opsis Architecture presented the findings from Phase 1 of the feasibility assessment
to City Council. During that meeting, Council requested additional work items be evaluated, requiring
an amendment to the consultant contract. Staff worked with the consultant team to develop the scope
and cost of these additional tasks and presented them to City Council on June 2, 2026.
Following Council discussion, staff was directed to evaluate the following potential future options for
Building 120:
Continued use as a City-operated community center.
Sale of the property.
Lease of the property to a private operator for community-oriented use.
Page 12 of 46

Interest Form to Operate Building 120
The City of Sammamish is reviewing long-term options related to its Building 120, which include:
• A City-operated community center
• Sale of the building
• Lease to a private operator for community use
As a part of this effort, the City of Sammamish is gathering information from organizations that may be
interested in operating Building 120 as a vibrant community facility.
This information will help inform future policy discussions and decision-making. Responses are for
research purposes only and do not constitute a solicitation, Request for Proposals (RFP), or
opportunity to purchase or lease Building 120.

Property Information
Address: 120 228th Ave. NE, Sammamish, WA 98074
Parcel Number: 3425069017
Site Area: 21.54 acres
Building Size: 30,807 square feet
Parking: 220 spaces
Current Zoning: R-6 (currently docketed for a proposed rezone to Community Business (CB))
Building Description
Building 120 was constructed in 2008 and purchased by the City of Sammamish in 2015 with the goal of
attracting a higher education provider to the community.
The two-story concrete tilt-up building includes north and south wings separated by a central lobby. The
building includes a gym with a small stage and an adjoining room that could be converted into a
commercial kitchen, five offices, six classrooms, and two large open areas. Approximately 44% of the
property consists of protected wetlands, limiting future development opportunities on the site.
Page 13 of 46
UNFINISHED BUSINESS #4.
Location
Building 120 is centrally located along 228th Avenue NE, adjacent to a high school and wetlands. The
surrounding area includes commercial businesses, restaurants, parks, and residential neighborhoods.
Facility Condition
A comprehensive building and site assessment was completed in 2026 and presented to the City Council
on April 21, 2026.
Overall, the building was found to be generally in good condition, and its major systems remain
functional, though many are aging. The exterior shows deferred maintenance including Exterior
Insulation and Finishing Systems (EIFS) cracks, rusting steel, failing caulk, and deteriorating downspouts
and roof flashings. Interiors are dated with mismatched lighting, sagging acoustical ceiling tiles, worn
carpet, and inadequate finishes throughout. Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) systems are
largely original; the water heater is near end of life and HVAC units are aging but operational.
Financial Considerations
The facility assessment estimates approximately $4.8 million in repairs and upgrades to address
deferred maintenance, correct deficiencies, and restore the building to a like-new condition.
Current annual operating expenses are estimated at approximately $200,000 per year, excluding City
staff time.
Current market lease rates for comparable properties are estimated at:
• Triple Net (NNN): $26-$30 per square foot
• Gross Lease: $35-$38 per square foot
Optional Site Visit
A non-mandatory informational site visit will be held on (day of the week), July xxx, 2026 at xxx a.m.

Background Information
Pavement Management Program
The City of Sammamish owns and maintains approximately 415 lane miles of streets. The City’s
Pavement Management Program is a systematic approach to manage the planning, maintenance,
repair, and rehabilitation of the City's streets. The goal of the program is to maintain, preserve, and
extend the life of the City’s road network in the most cost-effective and efficient manner. This is done
by monitoring and managing the condition of the pavement over time, making timely repairs, and
implementing preventive maintenance strategies. As a result of consistent effort over many years, the
citywide pavement conditions are satisfactory while some streets are in poor condition and have an
immediate need of pavement treatments.
Consistent with best industry practice, the Pavement Management Program has focused on
rehabilitating streets in fair and poor condition, applying a portion of the funds to streets needing
reconstruction, crack sealing streets in satisfactory condition, and some stop-gap work on streets in fair
and poor condition.
The City’s Pavement Management Program consists of several components and sub-programs:
Planning Efforts
Critical to short and mid-term program goals, the City routinely plans for pavement repairs in several
ways:
The City is currently working on a Pavement Management Strategic Plan
(https://www.sammamish.us/projects/2025-pavement-management-strategic-plan/) which
focuses on the following policy initiatives: funding allocation and approach, project selection
approach, and the setting Citywide pavement goals and metrics. The Plan will also outline
pavement efforts for the next 5 years. This effort began in 2025 and was paused while the
Public Works team gains capacity and is anticipated to continue in Q3 2026 – Q1 2027. The
policies, draft plan, and final plan will be presented to City Council for input and feedback. In
addition, staff is finalizing a community engagement strategy and efforts for the plan.
6-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and 2-Year Budget planning. Each year, staff prepare and
review upcoming pavement improvement projects and plans as part of both the development
of the CIP and the 2-year budget.
Utility and Development Coordination. The Pavement Management Program coordinates
routinely with upcoming utility projects and developments for scheduling impacts and
coordination.
Program Coordination. In addition to coordinating with utilities, the City’s capital projects, and
private development projects, staff coordinate upcoming paving with numerous other ongoing
City operational and capital programs, such as: Storm Pipe Condition Assessment Program,
Storm Pipe Rehabilitation Program, Traffic Count Program, and the Americans with Disabilities
Act (ADA) Barrier Removal Program.
Ongoing Pavement Maintenance & Preservation
Page 18 of 46
UNFINISHED BUSINESS #5.
City crews routinely maintain, repair, and improve the City’s roads by implementing maintenance and
preservation techniques such as pothole repair, patching, minor grind and overlays. These efforts are
implemented by planned efforts in warmer months and unplanned responses in the winter months
due to freezing/thawing events. Street repairs are funded by the General Fund.
Annual Pavement Preservation & Rehabilitation
The City primarily utilizes the methodologies of crack seals and overlays to preserve roadways. This
typically is an annual effort, with design occurring in the winter and spring, and construction occurring
in the summer. Funding for this sub-program is allocated through the Street Fund, with revenue
sources for that fund from gas tax as well as a transfer from the General Fund. This sub-program is
managed by staff, from planning to design to construction. Design phase occurs with consultant
support and construction phase is completed through contractors. Staff manage community outreach,
coordination with emergency responders and utility providers, other agencies, and school districts
throughout the project. Most overlay projects also require the replacement of traffic signal detection
loops, roadway markings, and raising utility irons.
Staff would like to explore and implement the utilization of different pavement preservation
techniques to incorporate changes in material science and technology. Staff plan to bring these new
techniques to City Council for consideration as part of the Pavement Management Strategic Plan. The
Plan will also include a 5-year project list.
Pavement Reconstruction
This program includes a full depth reconstruction (FDR) of roadways, which is often required when a
roadway degrades to a poor condition. Efforts to implement this program often require additional time
and resources, and projects require stormwater design review, permitting, etc. The scale of the project
can vary depending on the roadway location, subgrade, and other factors. Funding for this sub-
program is allocated primarily from the Transportation Capital Fund (Fund 340), with applicable
portions from the Stormwater Capital Fund (Fund 438).
Table 1 below summarizes current treatment methods by Condition Category. Note that there is some
overlap between categories as depicted in Figure 1, below, and the final treatment type is determined
through review of the current roadway conditions and engineering judgement.

2026 Site Selection
Street segments (sites, Table 2; Figure 2) were selected based on their condition score or the Pavement
Condition Index (PCI) rating, observing the current road conditions, and each street’s road
classification. Streets have been selected to distribute pavement treatment between arterial streets
and local streets, focusing first on the streets with the highest traffic volumes and then on local streets
that are in poor condition and in need of major rehabilitation or reconstruction. In 2026, in the
absence of an adopted Pavement Management Strategic Plan, we continued the prioritization of
arterial streets, while allocating approximately 20% of pavement program funds to local streets.
Then, the arterial streets were selected from the arterial candidate list due to their close proximity to
schools, parks, and public facilities. In addition, these streets are also not located near other
concurrent construction projects, which will help to minimize traffic disruptions and project conflicts.
The local roads were selected from the local candidate list because of their pavement condition score,
proximity to selected arterial streets for efficient construction, and they are relatively straightforward
projects. Other local roads on the candidate list require reconstruction, which needs a longer design
phase than pavement overlays due to greater scope and complexity.

2026 Overlay Project Overview
The 2026 Overlay Project consists of two Bid Schedules for Council’s consideration: Schedule A,
overlays at 5 locations, and Schedule B, replacing damaged traffic detection loops. Additional details
about each can be found below:
Bid Schedule A – Overlays
Schedule A will complete asphalt paving, ADA improvements, and pedestrian tubular markers and
delineators on one street. In addition to the specific scope items mentioned above, the work generally
Page 21 of 46
UNFINISHED BUSINESS #5.
includes paving and overlaying existing roadways with HMA pavement, adjusting utility structures, and
installing new pavement markings.
Bid Schedule B – Replacement of Vehicle Detection Loops
In addition to pavement treatments of five sites, staff leveraged this construction project to replace
damaged vehicle detection loops (Schedule B) at 7 main intersections throughout the City which were
identified following preventive maintenance inspections performed earlier this year. Staff recommends
the additional work in Schedule B to maintain the functional operation of traffic systems. Utilizing this
contract is more effective than developing, bidding, and managing a separate contract.
The vehicle detection loops inform corresponding traffic controllers that vehicles are present when
vehicles occupy those loops. Fully functioning detection loops are essential for the optimal
performance of signalized intersections to effectively accommodate traffic demand. Malfunctioning
loops impact signal operations, which can cause long queues and unnecessary delays. Additionally,
malfunctioning loops impact the performance of the signal system along 228th Ave, that aims at timing
all signalized intersections to optimize traffic movement on the main corridor.
Most signalized intersections in the City have dual detection: vehicle detection loops and video
detection. The dual detection is a fail-safe redundancy. When one form of detection fails, the other
serves as backup, keeping intersections operational instead of going into flash mode or having to resort
to a predetermined timing plan that lacks the flexibility to respond to changing traffic demands. Dual
detection along 228th is necessary for the reliable and effective operation of the signal system. The
system is implemented by the City to prioritize and optimize main corridor traffic.
Signalized intersections with damaged loops to be replaced are listed below and shown in Figure 3.
They are outside of the 2026 Overlays sites.

Next Steps
Following City Council authorization of the contract, City staff will meet with the contractor to begin
initial phases of construction. Construction is planned to be completed in summer and early fall 2026.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This contract encumbers the construction cost of $2,228,290.80 and a ten percent contingency of
$222,829.08. This project is funded in the 2025-26 Biennial Budget. Funds are allocated in the 2025-
2026 Budget from the Street Fund: 101-040-542-30-48-51 (Roadway - Overlay Program).
Fund Budget 2025-26 Currently Encumbered This Contract Total Encumbered
Street Fund $3,500,000 $370,358 $2,821,477.88
$2,451,119.88
An additional $130,174 for final design, $218,497 for construction management, and $21,687 for utility
coordination is estimated to be needed for the completion of the 2026 Overlays Project (included in
the Currently Encumbered costs).
In addition, the Sammamish Plateau Water and Sewer District will reimburse the City approximately
$87,000 for adjustment of District castings, including manholes and valve boxes, within the project
limits.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:
Schedule A
Page 23 of 46
UNFINISHED BUSINESS #5.
Staff reviewed several alternatives as part of the street selection process for this year's Pavement
Preservation & Rehabilitation Program. Maintenance, inspection, and three engineering teams review
the site list and recommend considerations for the overlays. Staff recommended the arterial roadways
for this year's preservation work due to the pavement condition score (pavement condition index or
PCI), traffic type and volume, location of public amenities and schools, and proximity to other work. In
particular, staff recommended that SE 8th Street be considered in the overlay package due to the
condition of the roadway, road classification, and proximity to other overlay work. This segment was
selected because, if excluded, the roadway will likely require a full depth reconstruction which will
require additional design resources and time to include stormwater improvements and additional
utility work. As a rough order of magnitude comparison, the 2021 Pavement Plan specified $36-$44 per
square yard for overlays and $107 for a full depth reconstruction project. Local roadways for this year's
Overlay Projects were selected based on pavement condition score, proximity to other planned work,
and preliminary constructability review. Additional details about how the sites for the 2026 Overlay
Project were selected can be found in the Key Facts & Information Summary section of the Agenda Bill.
Staff are also reviewing the paint selection for the roadway markings, particularly longitudinal lines;
additional information can be found in Exhibit A, the staff Q&A. Staff are completing a feasibility
analysis early next week and plan to share findings at the July 14th City Council meeting.
Schedule B
Staff included the replacement of damaged traffic detection loops as a bid additive for Council's
consideration, as an effort to complete maintenance work while saving in project mobilization costs.

Exhibit A - Council Questions and Sta Responses
Can you please clarify the paving areas?
The project map can be found on the City’s webpage: https://www.sammamish.us/projects/2026-
pavement-overlays/.
What other improvements are included besides the overlays?
The work includes ADA improvements, vehicle detection loop replacement at some intersections,
pedestrian tubular markers and delineators on one street, and adjusting utility structures, and
installing new pavement markings.
Can the City utilize thermal pavement markings instead of water-based paint on this project?
The City utilizes a solvent-based, low-VOC (volatile organic compound) paint for longitudinal lines
(centerlines, lane lines and fog lines) and thermoplastic markings for crosswalks, stop lines,
arrows, and etc. The City’s current practice of using paint for long line pavement markings with
retroreflectivity treatment complies with Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT)
standards and with Manual on Uniform Tra ic Control Devices (MUTCD) requirements for
retroreflectivity. These regulations are in place with the intent to improve safety. To maintain the
City’s long lines, the City contracts with King County through an Interlocal Agreement to repaint
long lines annually as part of the Citywide Road Marking Maintenance Program. While crews of
many agencies including our own have the equipment to maintain thermoplastic markings, only
contractors with specialized equipment can apply thermoplastic long lines over relatively long
distance.
Sta recognizes the benefits of thermoplastic long lines, including durability and consistent
retroreflectivity during line markings’ lifetime. However, implementing thermoplastic long lines
requires a contractor with special equipment and is often more expensive to implement initially and
replace. At the end of the markings’ lifetime (approximately three to five years), thermoplastic road
marking can typically be applied only 1 to 2 times over an existing layer. After reaching a total built-
up thickness threshold, the entire marking must be completely removed before any new material
can be laid down.
Should Council be interested in testing thermoplastic long lines in the 2026 Overlays Project areas,
sta will discuss with the contractor to understand what it takes to change the pavement marking
material for long lines on one arterial from paint to thermoplastic. If it is feasible and the additional
cost and time of this change is reasonable, sta will direct the contractor to apply this change. Sta
is conducting a feasibility review of a pilot program for thermo paint for long lines on one arterial
roadway, Issaquah-Pine Lake Road, early next week.
Sta does not recommend using thermoplastic long lines on residential or local access streets.
Can the City review its Road Marking Maintenance Program and material selection? If so,
when can that be completed and implemented? Can we test or pilot alternative pavement
marking materials on some projects?
Sta routinely evaluate operational programs and can complete a high-level comparison of paint
types and additional considerations for the Road Marking Maintenance Program this fall as we gain
sta capacity. Sta recommends any findings or alternatives to the material selection be added to
the in-progress update to the City’s Public Works Standards and Right-of-Way/Street Code. Another
Page 25 of 46
UNFINISHED BUSINESS #5.
critical project for the City that the Public Works team is working on is the Pavement Management
Strategic Plan – material selection for both road preservation and road marking will be considered
with this plan as well.
Should Council be interested in testing thermoplastic long lines in the 2026 Overlays areas, sta
will discuss with the contractor to understand what it takes to change the pavement marking
material for long lines on one or more arterials from paint to thermoplastic. If it is feasible and the
additional cost and time of this change is reasonable, sta will direct the contractor to apply this
change.
Sta does not recommend using thermoplastic long lines on residential or local access streets.
Can we take the opportunity with the Overlays Project to make other improvements (i.e. for
safety, etc.)?
Sta recognizes the importance of leveraging every project opportunity to make safety
improvements. In one of the five paving sites, 223rd Ave SE, existing extruded curbs will be replaced
with tra ic separator curbs and delineators for better visibility, American Disability Act (ADA)
compliance, and reasonable maintainability.
In addition, sta acknowledges that there seem to be opportunities for sta to evaluate how to
revise the channelization of available pavement areas, especially on some arterials to facilitate
more comfortable pedestrian and bicycle travel. With the foundation of the 2024 Transportation
Master Plan (TMP) and the 2025 Bicycle and Pedestrian Mobility Plan, sta have proposed a new
Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) program, the Safety and Speed Management Program, as part of
the 2027 and 2028 work plan that establishes more focused e ort in tra ic safety to implement
TMP Goal 3. As part of this new program, sta will assess safety concerns and work with Council
and the community to implement safety improvements. The program is designed to evaluate,
design, and implement improvements within a calendar year or sooner (depending on the scale of
improvement).
Sta recommends proceeding with the 2026 Overlays Project as-is since it will take some time
beyond the current construction window to evaluate and design proper safety improvements on
arterials. Smaller improvements that can be installed on the new pavement (i.e. channelization)
can be made after pavement treatments are done. If Larger improvements, requiring additional
expansion of the roadway, will require utility coordination and stormwater review as part of the
evaluation and design.
In addition, sta recommends that Council approve the 2026 Overlays Project for cost savings on
two fronts: 1) avoid much more expensive pavement treatment due to deterioration in pavement
conditions and 2) construction cost escalation.
Can we establish performance measures and targets for safety improvements?
Sta started the e ort in establishing performance measures for all aspects of transportation
including safety improvements. This is in support of the planned 2028 TMP Update, which includes
establishing performance measures for the transportation system. Sta have drafted initial
performance measures that align with the best industry practice or benchmarks for safety and
pavement performance targets. We will report back to Council on this topic in 2027, prior to the
2028 TMP Update.
Page 26 of 46
UNFINISHED BUSINESS #5.
Can reflective paint be utilized instead of raised pavement markers (RPMs)?
RPMs are added to increase driver awareness and improve safety at locations identified by sta .
Rubber blades on snowplows have shown to be e ective at removing snow without damaging
RPMs. Sta will perform an in-depth evaluation of pavement marking materials including RPMs as
part of the ROW Code and Standards Update project and report back to Council on this topic.
Except for the five sites in the 2026 Overlays Project, where else are we striping/restriping?
A map of striping locations identified in the condition assessment performed earlier this year is on
City’s website at: Sammamish Striping 2026. As part of the City’s Road Marking Program, tra ic
engineers assess the longitudinal lines (centerlines and fog lines), crosswalks, and other roadway
marking indicators on all public roads in the City every spring. The assessment occurs both during
the day and at night to review road marking conditions, visibility, and reflectivity. Each year, three
arterial roadways are striped (repainted) due to factors such as the wear and tear, volume and type
of tra ic. Collector and local roads are assessed and some or all may be striped, depending on the
assessment.
Following the assessment, roadway marking maintenance occurs through sta -initiated requests
with King County Local Roads. The City has an Interlocal Agreement with King County to complete
roadway marking maintenance. For long lines, the City utilizes solvent-based, low VOC (volatile
organic compounds) paint. For crosswalks and other roadway markings, the City utilizes
thermoplastic paint.
Can sta propose a work plan item addressing Council’s priority on safety?
With the foundation of the 2024 Transportation Master Plan (TMP) and the 2025 Bicycle and
Pedestrian Mobility Plan, sta have proposed a new Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) program, the
Safety and Speed Management Program, as part of the 2027 and 2028 work plan that establishes
more focused e ort in tra ic safety to implement TMP Goal 3. As part of this new program, sta will
assess safety concerns and work with Council and the community to implement safety
improvements. The program is designed to evaluate, design, and implement improvements within a
calendar year or sooner (depending on the scale of improvement).
For some sites in the 2026 Overlays Project, more improvements seem to be needed beyond
pavement treatments. Will the project add separation between vehicular tra ic and
nonmotorized tra ic on Issaquah Pine Lake Road or 212th Ave SE? Can we request changes to
make improvements as part of the Overlays Project or other project opportunities later?
The project does not change the current channelization on IPLR, including adding separation. In the
preliminary draft 2027-2032 Citywide Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), sta are proposing a
Corridor Study and Plan.
Sta recommend proceeding with the 2026 Overlays Project as-is, since it will take some time
beyond the current construction window to evaluate and design proper safety improvements.
Improvements in the realm of rechannelization on 212th Ave SE can be made after pavement
treatments are completed.
Page 27 of 46
UNFINISHED BUSINESS #5.
Pavement treatment on SE 8th Street is a stop gap measure before we determine long-term
improvements for SE 8th Street. Currently, our maintenance crew is no longer able to repair existing
pavement due to its poor condition.
Separately, sta is establishing more focused e ort in tra ic safety, e.g., proposing a new CIP
program in safety and speed management as part of the 2027 and 2028 work plan. As part of this
new program should Council approves this item in the work plan or in tandem with this program,
sta will assess safety concerns and work with Council and the community to implement safety
improvements.
How critical is it to do overlays on those roads now? What would happen to the roads if we
don’t proceed with the 2026 Overlays Project? What is the time horizon of the construction
window?
In general, the selected sites are at the lower end of PCI range that are still viable for overlays. SE 8th
Street. While some streets may still be viable candidates for an overlay in a year, additional asset
degradation may also require a thickened overlay, which is more expensive. Also, construction cost
has been increasing significantly in past years. If left untreated, existing pavement conditions on
those sites will continue to have significant negative impacts of daily public travel. The pavement
preservation proposed for SE 8th Street is barely possible utilizing an overlay methodology and is a
stop gap measure. Further degradation of the road segment would require a full depth
reconstruction.
Where are the detection loops located, and do they need to be replaced?
The detection loops included for replacement in Schedule B as part of the overlay scope are signal
tra ic loops, for providing vehicle detection at signalized intersections. They are essential for
optimal operation of the tra ic signal system. Additional information about the City’s dual
detection system can be found in the Agenda Bill.
