The Lodging Tax AdvisoryCommittee Establishing Resolution was first created in 2001.
Since then, there have been multiple updates. These updates are listed below:
The City Council adopted Resolution 01-014 on March 19, 2001 providing for the
composition, terms of office and procedural rules for the Lodging Tax Advisory
Committee (LTAC).
The City Council adopted Resolution 04-009 on February 17, 2004, amending
Resolution 01-014 to provide for staggered terms.
The City Council adopted Resolution 06-012 on May 1, 2006 amending
Resolution 04-009 revising the composition of non-voting members
The City Council adopted Resolution 08-032 on August 18, 2008 further
amending Resolution 04-009 to remove the membership residency requirement

Housing seems to be the single most pressing challenge we are up against. I am super familiar
with these challenges on a personal level. As a general contractor I not only pay

Contract Approval Other: Motion
Public Hearing (Legislative, unless otherwise noted)
3-Year Strategic Plan: 4 - Ensure sustainable future for public services and facilities
Cost Allocation Fund: 305 CIP Street
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Every year the City has the opportunity to apply for street improvement grants through
the Transportation Improvement Board (TIB). At the last City Council meeting (7/5/24),
the City Council prioritized an Urban Arterial Grant and Pavement Preservation grant
projects. Staff presented options and the City Council recommended we apply for
Lawrence Street between Walker and Harrison under the UAP program and an arterial
street chip seal project under APP program.
This agenda items is a follow up to the last meeting to discuss a Complete Streets
application. The Complete Streets Program has $30 million statewide and grants are
typically under $500,000 with an expectation that the project is constructed within one
year.
In the spring of 2024, the City received a complete street grant for Lawrence Street
sidewalks and ADA upgrades. This Complete Streets grant was an anomaly
opportunity for funding. TIB has encouraged us to apply even though we received this
grant this spring given Complete Streets funding source is based on the Climate
Commitment Act and funds are readily available as long as the act is not repealed by
initiative this fall.
Staff evaluated and provides insights for the following projects.
1.Lawrence and Walker –Intersection Safety Improvementsfocus on
pedestrian, bicycle and vehicle safety. This project will likely rate fairly well,
and it overlaps with the UAP application. This project would allow for greater
degree of traffic calming investment. It addresses all modes of transportation
well.
th
2.Hancock Sidewalk –Sims Way to 9. This project would likely rate fair given
the high degree of demand for pedestrian usage and proximity to key
connected routes. This project is missing some elements of complete streets
with a focus on pedestrian improvements and less on other modes of
transportation.
3.Tremont –Sidewalk San Juan to the Valley Trail. This project would rate fair
given it s near a school and builds upon previous TIB investments. The focus
of this project is pedestrian and thus misses some elements of complete
streets relative to other modes of transportation.
4.Cherry St –Sidewalk fromEto Blaine St. including traffic calming. This
project focuses on pedestrians and thus misses other elements of complete
streets. However, traffic calming does help with bicycle safety as well. The
project would likely rate as fair.
5.Washington Street Gaps and ADAupgrades Downtown–Memorial Field,
Bishop Parking Lot. This project focuses on pedestrians in a complete streets
environment where and thus would likely rate fare to well given its location in
a downtown environment where there is parking and a high degree of use.
6.Kearney Street between Franklin and 19th –Widening for Bike Lanes. The
project involves widening the street for improved bike lanes. The project is a
challenging construction project. It would likely rate as fairgiven it addresses
one mode of transportation.
th
7.Kearney/19Intersection –Bulbouts and traffic calming. This project is
similar to Walker and Lawrence relative to a focus on pedestrian, bike, and
vehicle safety and would likely rate fairly well. However, there is not sidewalk
on the golf course side and thus the focus would be traffic calming. Additional
sidewalk could be added to the golf course side of the street to help make this
a more competitive project.
A number of options exist for Council consideration. Staff recommends choosing one
project to apply for complete streets. Staff believes that the Washington Street project
downtown (option 5) and the Lawrence and Walker Street project (option 1) would likely
have the best chance of being funded. Match for complete streets is a minimum of 15%
plus staff time that is not grant eligible. The estimated match of $100,000 would likely
come from REET or TBD depending on the budget adoption process.
Finally, in an effort to improve participation and provide the opportunity to understand
better how to reach more of our community, the City has a voluntary form that any in
attendance are welcome to fill out to share demographic information. This is purely
voluntary and is part of the City being a welcoming and inclusive community.

SUMMARY STATEMENT:
In November 2023 City Council approved the Evans Vista Master Plan after eight
months of public engagement and collaboration with Thomas Architecture Studios
(TAS) and ECONorthwest. The Master Plan outlines a dense mixed income, mixed use
neighborhood on the City owned property called “Evans Vista.”
Earlier in 2024 TAS submitted a preliminary plat permit application (subdivision). Staff
have provided first review comments. Once comments are addressed by their civil
team, the application will proceed to public notice and comment. However, before
maneuvering through the final stages of issuing a plat decision, staff recommends
pivoting to draft and Request for Development Proposal (RFP) and marketing it in order
to select a developer proposal. To streamline the platting process and avoid potential
alterations later on, staff recommends pivoting to draft a Request for Development
Proposal (RFP) and initiating marketing efforts to solicit developer proposals. This
approach ensures that the selected developer will take responsibility for completing the
plat permit, aligning with the master plan's objectives efficiently while enabling the
developer to make choices about phasing given infrastructure construction and
mobilization costs.
The RFP process involves multiple steps that can be done by a combination of staff and
consultant efforts. Currently, staff are evaluating the scope, funding and distribution of
responsibilities to ensure effectiveness and efficiency. It is crucial that the RFP
maximize the City’s investment by attracting competitive proposals. This includes
assessingmarket interest, refining the RFP based on responses, and engaging with
potential developers, and evaluating their proposals. Staff particularly need support in
effectively marketing the RFP. However, support may be required in all tasks amidst
time constraints imposed by the City’s ambitious workplan. Collaboration with area
affordable housing providers and the few multifamily market rate developers will further
ensure feasibility and quality of proposalsto help us discern a prospective proposer’s
ability to execute the development.
If the entire site is placed for a bid, the City must establish clear timelines and staffing
resources to manage potentially multiple rounds of RFP. This iterative process aims to
achieve a balanced development scale, secure reliable development partners, and
synchronize with economic conditions. While selecting a Master Developer could
simplify the process and reduce redundancy, it also introduces risk, particularly
regarding project execution.
Schedule and Funds:
The preliminary subdivision applications are nearing readiness for public notice.
This provides the public the opportunity to comment on the proposed plat layout
and development phasing.
Construction of the Mill Road sewer lift station construction is anticipated to
commence in late 2025.
Contingency funds for the Master Plan have been reserved to support future RFP
activities.
There is a possibility to leverage bond and sale proceeds from Cherry Street to
fund pre-development activities, pending Council approval to amend the bond
ordinance.
The 2024 Budget includes provisions for a grants coordinator position over a 3-
year term to secure funding for additional City infrastructure subsidies. The
recruitment for this position has not commenced due to competing department
projects, prompting consideration of the opportunity for potential adjustments.
This includes evaluating whether funds should be partially or fully redirected
towards legal or broker services to facilitate RFP marketing and negotiate
purchase and sales agreements that minimize City risk exposure due to
developer performance and delays.
Additional details on the Evans Vista Housing Development Master Plan are available
on the City’s website: https://cityofpt.us/engagept/page/evans-vista-housing-
development-master-plan. Those interested in being involved in the planning process
may request to be added to the mailing list by emailing ebolin@cityofpt.us.
ATTACHMENTS: None
CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:N/A
RECOMMENDED ACTION: None at this time. Staff recommends further funding and
resource discussion at the July 22, 2024 Council retreat meeting to assess context with
other workplan items. Staff expect to return with a requested action for authority to
execute a Not to Exceed amount for an call contract for RFP development and
marketing.
