City of Lakewood Government Relations Report 2018 Legislative Session Dear Lakewood City Council & City Staff, It was a pleasure to once again represent the City of Lakewood in Olympia for the 2018 legislative session. While the 2018 session was a short, 60-day session, the City was successful in advancing its legislative priorities, securing $500,000 toward the Lakewood Colonial Plaza, $400,000 towards improvements at Fort Steilacoom Park, and expediting $2 million for the sidewalk project in the Lake City Business District. These successes would not have been possible without an active and supportive legislative delegation – Senator Steve O’Ban, Senator Steve Conway, Representative Christine Kilduff, Representative Dick Muri, Representative Steve Kirby and Representative David Sawyer. We encourage the City to express great thanks to the delegation. In addition to the city’s legislative priorities, the Legislature tackled a number of challenging issues. The Legislature adopted supplemental Operating, Capital, and Transportation Budgets. Now that session is officially over, attention has turned to the November 2018 elections. Every member of the House of Representatives and half of the members of the Senate are up for re-election in November 2018. The House is currently 50-48; and the Senate is 26-24. With these narrow majorities, the outcome of the November 2018 elections could change which party controls one or both of the legislative chambers. The ever-changing political climate requires adaptive and consistent advocacy. We look forward to working with the City of Lakewood throughout the interim months to continue advancing the city’s priorities and preparing for the 2019-21 legislative biennium. Thank you, Briahna Murray & Shelly Helder 1201 Pacific Ave, Suite 2100 203 Maryland Ave., NE Tacoma, WA 98401 www.gth-gov.com Washington, DC 20002 Phone: (253) 620-6500 Phone: (202) 544-2681 Fax: (253) 620-6565 Fax: (202) 544-5763 004 City of Lakewood Legislative Priorities Every two years, the City Council adopts a biennial legislative agenda that directs GTHGA and city staff’s lobbying efforts. In even numbered years the City amends its biennial legislative agenda to reflect items that were accomplished in the first half of the biennium. Oftentimes, it takes many years of work to accomplish a legislative priority item. This year, the city’s legislative agenda included some new items that will take many more years of work and some items that made it across the finish line. The status of each legislative priority item is outlined below: Pass a Final 2017-19 Capital Budget Fort Steilacoom Park: Transfer Ownership The 2017-19 Capital Budget that was negotiated prior to the end of the 2017 Session included proviso language directing the transfer of ownership of Fort Steilacoom Park from the Department of Social & Human Services to the City of Lakewood and Pierce College. Since the 2017-19 Capital Budget was not adopted during the 2017 session, this item remained unfinished as we prepared for the 2018 session. When the Legislature reconvened in 2018, we reminded the Lakewood delegation of the important components of the negotiated capital budget that would benefit the City and the importance of adopting the proposed biennial budget. When a final budget was adopted in mid-January it included the proviso language directing the transfer of ownership of Fort Steilacoom Park. The specific language included in the budget reads: By June 30, 2019, the department of social and health services must transfer deed of the property known as the Pierce College Fort Steilacoom campus to Pierce College. Pierce College will receive the land covered by its current lease. The transfer must be at no cost to the college. When the deed is transferred to the college, the lease expires. WWRP Funding: Harry Todd Waterfront Park Improvements Along with the Fort Steilacoom Park ownership transfer, funding for the WA Wildlife and Recreation Program (WWRP) was held up with the delay of the 2017-19 Capital Budget. Prior to the 2017 session, the City applied for a $600,000 competitive grant through WWRP and was highly ranked in the Water Access category for Improvements at Harry Todd Waterfront Park. Award amounts are based on the funding level appropriated by the Legislature and a formula. In the negotiated 2017-19 capital budget, the funding level would have resulted in a $476,000 award to the City for improvements at Harry Todd Waterfront Park. When the final 2017-19 budget was adopted, it included the same funding level which resulted in a $476,000 award to the City. Military Benefit Zone Over the 2017 Interim, GTHGA and City staff worked to develop a proposal for an economic development tool that would be unique to the communities surrounding Joint Base Lewis McChord, with the intent of supporting development and amenities in military communities. GTHGA drafted the legislation and vetted it through City staff, legislative staff and the Department of Revenue. Additionally, GTHGA conducted stakeholder outreach to other jurisdictions that would be impacted by the legislation to inform them and seek their input. Early in session we coordinated to have the entire Lakewood delegation sign on to sponsor and co-sponsor House Bill 2635 and Senate Bill 6272. Both bills received public hearings in their respective policy committees. Gordon Thomas Honeywell Governmental Affairs City of Lakewood Post Session Report 2 005 City Manager John Caulfield traveled to Olympia to testify at those hearings. The Senate Bill did not advance out of the policy committee prior to the first cutoff. When the House Bill was heard in the House policy committee, there was some confusion from Thurston County that lead them to sign in opposed to the bill. GTHGA reached out to the Thurston County lobbyist to clarify any misunderstanding.

  • Elway Poll: Two-Thirds of Washingtonians Support Raising Tobacco Sale Age to 21
    atg.wa.gov http://www.atg.wa.gov/news/news-releases/elway-poll-two-thirds-washingtonians-support-raising-tobacco-sale-age-21 Elway Poll: Two-thirds of Washingtonians support raising tobacco sale age to 21 Attorney General Bob Ferguson speaks at a press conference announcing an Elway Poll showing overwhelming support among Washingtonians for raising the purchase age for tobacco. Poll finds widespread bipartisan support for AG legislative proposal to combat youth smoking OLYMPIA — A Stuart Elway poll released today shows an overwhelming 65 percent of Washingtonians support raising the sale age of tobacco to 21. This result shows clear public support for Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson’s proposal to raise the legal age to purchase tobacco and vapor products to 21. The poll, commissioned by the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids and issued by Elway Research, an independent research firm, surveyed 500 registered voters in Washington state from Dec. 28-30, 2015. The results show strong support among both men and women and in every region of the state. Support in Eastern Washington (66 percent) was similar to support in Western Washington (70 percent). Additionally, the poll found strong support across political ideology, with 66 percent of Republicans and 72 percent of Democrats supporting increasing the tobacco sale age. “Smoking is the number one cause of preventable death in the United States,” said Ferguson. “Elway’s poll proves Washingtonians agree: It is time to make this common-sense change to state law and save kids’ lives.” Washington has long been at the forefront of the fight to protect youth from the dangers of smoking .

  • Washington State Legislature Olympia, WA 98504-0482
    Legislative Building Washington State Legislature Olympia, WA 98504-0482 September 28, 2016 Richard Cordray, Director Consumer Financial Protection Bureau 1700 G Street N.W. Washington D.C. 20552 Dear Director Cordray, RE: Docket No. CFPB-2016-0025 or RIN 3170-AA40 Thank you for your leadership of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Your agency has helped millions of consumers in the financial sector who just need a fair playing field. We appreciate your work and your focus to your mission. We greatly appreciate the recent release of draft rules concerning small loans and we applaud your goal of “proposing strong protections aimed at ending payday debt traps.” As you know, Washington State reformed our payday lending regulations in 2009 with our law going in to effect in 2010. Since that time, according to the Department of Financial Institutions 2014 report, consumers in Washington have saved over $666 million in fees that would have otherwise been paid to payday lenders. These savings are the result of consumers being able to escape the cycle of debt often caused by payday loans. The Washington law curbs the worst elements of debt traps; loan volume, time in debt, and loan size are all down from pre-reform levels. Payday loan volume has fallen by over 75%, and the amount of time that a typical borrower is indebted has fallen by 50% (down from 161 days in 2009 to 83 days in 2014). Although Washington payday loans can be as large as $700, the typical loan size has continued to fall since the enactment of the reforms (from $412 in 2009 to $389 in 2014).

  • December 11, 2018 Thayne M. Mcculloh, D.Phil. President, Gonzaga University 502 East Boone Avenue Spokane, WA 99258 Dear P
    December 11, 2018 Thayne M. McCulloh, D.Phil. President, Gonzaga University 502 East Boone Avenue Spokane, WA 99258 Dear President McCulloh: My colleagues and I formally request Gonzaga University officials reconsider their decision to deny the request made by the university’s College Republicans to bring conservative, political commentator Ben Shapiro to the campus to speak. We are greatly disappointed in the university’s decision. Campuses should be places of rigorous, free debate that respects the marketplace of ideas from all people of race, religion, ethnicity or political views. Higher education institutions should welcome opportunities for students to hear people and ideas they have not yet fully considered. While Gonzaga University is a private institution, students are eligible for state financial aid. State taxpayer dollars should not be used to promote censorship. Your university website states: “Gonzaga’s Jesuit, Catholic, Humanistic education will challenge and inspire you.” Denying Mr. Shapiro the opportunity to speak runs contrary to this statement. Please allow Mr. Shapiro to challenge and perhaps inspire your students. It is also important to remember that Gonzaga University is surrounded by Republican Legislative Districts – including the 4th, 6th, 7th and 9th. It is also located in the middle of the 5th Congressional District, which is represented by a Republican. Many of the residents in these districts, including high school students who might be considering attending Gonzaga University, identify as conservative and want to hear the views of Mr. Shapiro. They also support free speech – regardless of political affiliation or beliefs. Please do not allow Gonzaga University to become an island of isolated political views.
