This proposition would authorize the District to: construct a new Station 34 and convert the existing Station 34 into a training facility; construct additions to Station 33 and the Vehicle Repair Facility; renovate Station 35; acquire firefighting and emergency medical service vehicles and equipment; make other capital improvements; issue no more than $19,975,147 of general obligation bonds maturing within 20 years; and levy annual excess property taxes to repay the bonds, all as provided in Resolution No. 855-07-17.

No. 5 2000 Lakeridgl' Drive SW, Olympia. Washington 98502 Phone (360) 786-5574 I Fax (360) 709-3006 Pro Statement: Lacey and the surrounding areas are growing rapidly. Lacey Fire District 3 knows this firsthand. Emergency calls have been increasing steadily. In addition, some of the fire equipment is aging and wearing out. With this ballot measure, the fire district will meet our community's current and future fire and emergency medical needs. Upgrade obsolete fire fighter safety equipment. The department has been maintaining some fire fighter safety equipment beyond its service life. One goal is to replace breathing and safety apparatus with modem and maintainable equipment that meets current safety standards. New fire engines must be purchased to meet current and future needs. Expand and update District facilities as outlined in the District's Capital Plan. Most Lacey fire stations were built so they could be expanded on existing land without disrupting service and while saving money. The plan is to update both rural and busier urban stations so that service is improved throughout the fire district. Approve Proposition 1. This measure will initially cost an average homeowner around 87 cents a month. In three years this will be reduced to around 4 7 cents per month. Your vote to approve Proposition 1 will insure our community continues to receive the high levels of fire, medical and rescue services that we count on. 2017 HOA Grant Applications Amount Matching HOA Name Project Requested Amount 1 Aldea Glenn Install Secured Mailboxes $2,000.00 $5,697.17 2 Greenbriar Estates Tree Planting in community park (50 Emerald Green Arborvitae) $920.13 $920.13 3 Greenbriar Estates Replace irrigation valve and 9 sprinkler heads $448.00 $448.00 4 Wedgewood Manor Ice Cream Social - National Night Out $75.00 $75.00 5 Wedgewood Manor Climbing Tires for children's playground / bags of cement $20.00 $20.00 6 Wedgewood Manor Curb Appeal at Mullen Rd entrance $150.00 $150.00 7 Wedgewood Manor Common Area "Tract B" Clean up $250.00 $250.00 8 Wedgewood Manor Playground improvements - Lumber installed to separate pea gravel & grass $100.00 $100.00 9 Wedgewood Manor Repair/replace community bulletin boards / cork boards $100.00 $100.00 10 Wedgewood Manor Erosion Control - Plants to control eroding hillside in playground area $100.00 $100.00 11 Jackson Farm Playground maintenance/enhancements (Cleaning/re-staining play structure; purchase addidition picnic tables $1,056.00 $1,095.00 12 Jackson Farm Curb Appeal - Repair community fences $1,260.00 $1,304.00 13 Shadywood Community Area Storm Damage Clean up from severe storm in May 2017 - remove 10 trees and debris $2,000.00 $6,093.00 14 Weatherwood Remove and replace public floating dock $1,377.00 $1,377.00 15 Summerwalk 11 Community Message Boards next to each mailbox cluster to increase communication $2,000.00 $3,751.16 TOTAL $11,856.13 $21,480.46 GENERAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE September 11, 2017 SUBJECT: Honoring Karen Fraser RECOMMENDATION: Motion to approve and forward naming Lacey Woodland Trail after Karen Fraser to the full City Council for approval. STAFF CONTACT: Scott Spence, City Manager Jen Burbidge, Parks and Recreation Director ORIGINATED BY: 1. Parks and Recreation Department ATTACHMENTS: 1. Letter from Parks Board 2. Policy for Naming Publicly Owned Property PRIOR REVIEW: The Board of Park Commissioners made a motion to approve and forward this recommendation at the August 2, 2017, meeting. BACKGROUND: Karen Fraser has been a civic leader, dedicating a long career to public service befitting Lacey and the Thurston Country area. On January 22, 1976, the Lacey City Council elected Karen Fraser as Lacey’s first female mayor. At 31 years old, she was the youngest mayor elected up until that time. When appointed to fill a vacancy on the city council three years earlier, she was the first female named to that position as well. Even by the time of her first election to the Lacey City Council, Fraser was involved in government. She started her career as an intern at the Washington State legislature and later went on to work as a legislative liaison and policy analyst for several state agencies. During Fraser’s tenure as mayor, Lacey built a new city hall, the Lacey Museum was established, and the city’s utilities and transportation infrastructure were greatly improved. And, while extremely capable and well-educated in all aspects of governing the city, Fraser took particular interest in advancing the causes of gender equality and human rights. As mayor, she was widely popular and enjoyed strong support from the community. Page 1 of 2 After serving two-and-a-half terms as Lacey’s mayor, Fraser went on to serve eight years as a Thurston County Commissioner and four years as a state representative. She won a spot in the Washington State Senate in 1993, an office she held until December 2016. Karen Fraser has provided exceptional civic service to the City of Lacey and Thurston County, which has both been both considerable and extensive. In consideration of Karen Fraser service to the public, Lacey’s Board of Park Commissioners recommends changing the name of the Lacey Woodland Trail to the Karen Fraser Trail. ADVANTAGES: 1. Recognize and honor a major contributor of civic service and leadership to the City of Lacey and Thurston County, particularly in the areas of history, transportation, utilities, gender equality and human rights. 2. City of Olympia City Council is also considering changing the name of the Olympia Woodland Trail to the Karen Fraser trail. If they do, Karen Fraser can be recognized as a “trailblazer” from Lacey to the State Capital. DISADVANTAGES: 1. As with any change, there could be questions from the public regarding the change in trail name. Page 2 of 2 City of Lacey 420 College Street SE Lacey WA 98503 July 5, 2017 Dear Mayor Ryder and City of Lacey Councilmembers: We would like to respectfully request that the Woodland Trail be named after Karen Fraser due to the fact that she has contributed outstanding civic service to the City of Lacey. Karen Fraser has truly been a trailblazer in our community. On January 22, 1976, the Lacey City Council elected Karen Fraser as Lacey's first female mayor. At 31 years old, she was the youngest mayor elected up until that time. When appointed to fill a vacancy on the city council three years earlier, she was the first female named to that position as well. Even by the time of her first election to the city council, Fraser was had already been involved in the political scene.

  • 2010 Missed Votes Report for Legislators Released
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: John Barnes April 14, 2010 206-999-9908 | [email protected] 2010 Missed Votes Report for Legislators Released Olympia – WashingtonVotes.org has released its annual Missed Votes Report, detailing missed roll call votes on bills for every legislator during the 2010 Legislative Session, including the special Session. WashingtonVotes.org, the premier legislative information website in Washington, provides concise, plain-English, objective descriptions of every bill, amendment and vote of the Washington legislature. WashingtonVotes.org Director Brandon Houskeeper said “the Missed Votes Report enables Washingtonians to track the actions of their elected officials in Olympia without having to read and record information from thousands of pages of legislative documents.” Houskeeper added, “our Missed Votes Report puts that same information in front Washingtonians with just one or two clicks.” There are a variety of reasons legislators miss votes. Houskeeper observed. “Legislators are often meeting with constituents, other lawmakers or dealing with unexpected emergencies, and that is the value of the Missed Votes Report.” Houskeeper noted, “Washingtonians can use WashingtonVotes.org as an informational resource and tool to see if legislators have a consistent pattern of missing votes.” To see the total number of votes each Senator and Representative missed during the 2010 Session, go to http://www.washingtonvotes.org/MissedVotes.aspx and adjust the date range accordingly. You can see reports from previous sessions by changing the date criteria at the top of the page. Click on a legislator’s name for detailed information about the votes he or she missed. WashingtonVotes.org contacted the legislators from each chamber who missed the most votes and gave them an opportunity to explain why they missed votes.

  • Washington State 2015 Gas Tax Increase
    Washington Senate Bill (2015) Title of Bill: Senate Bill 5987 Purpose: A $16 billion, 16-year transportation plan, which included an 11.9 cents-per-gallon gas tax increase—gradually implemented beginning Aug. 1, 2015, and fully applied on July 1, 2016—and an increase in transportation-related fees, including those for overweight vehicles. The bill also permits Sound Transit residents to vote on a plan to increase taxes for an additional $15 billion in order to expand the region’s light rail system. Status of Amendment: Passed Washington Senate Bill 5987 (2015) Signed into law: July 15, 2015 Senate House FOR 37 54 AGAINST 7 44 History State Gas Tax Before SB 5987, drivers in Washington state paid a flat excise tax on gasoline of 37.5 cents-per-gallon. That amount was last set in 2005, when the state legislature approved a 9.5 cents-per-gallon state gas tax increase (phased in over four years). The package, including an increase in vehicle weight fees, was estimated to raise $8.5 billion over a 16-year period. Previous gas tax increases were implemented in 2003, 1991, and 1990. Gas Tax Distribution & Transportation Funding Sources Washington state’s highway and ferry system is funded through a combination of motor vehicle fuel taxes (23%); vehicle licenses, permits, and fees (12%); federal funds (26%); bonding (23%), and other sources such as tolling, ferry fares, and local funding (16%).i The transportation budget pays for “maintaining, preserving, and improving the highway system; operating ferries; motor vehicle registration; and enforcing traffic laws on the state highway system.” ii The state’s gas tax of 37.5 cents-per-gallon was constitutionally dedicated for ‘highway purposes’ in the 18th Amendment (November 1944).
