The American Legion Auxiliary is excited to announce that Congress is poised to proclaim the Friday before Memorial Day as National Poppy Day – with the inaugural National Poppy Day May 26, 2017!
The Poppy Story
From the battlefields of World War I, weary soldiers brought home the memory of a barren landscape transformed by wild poppies, red as the blood that had soaked the soil. By that miracle of nature, the spirit of their lost comrades lived on. The poppy became a symbol of the sacrifice of lives in war and represented the hope that none had died in vain. The American Legion Auxiliary poppy has continued to bloom for the casualties of four wars, its petals of paper bound together for veterans by veterans, reminding America each year that the men and women who have served and died for their country deserve to be remembered. The poppy, as a memorial flower to the war dead, can be traced to a single individual, Moina Michael. She was so moved by Lt. Col. McCrae's poem, "In Flanders Fields," that she wrote a response:
. . . the blood of heroes never dies But lends a luster to the red Of the flower that blooms above the dead In Flanders' Fields.
On impulse, she bought a bouquet of poppies – all that New York City's Wanamaker's Department Store had – and handed them to businessmen meeting at the New York YMCA where she worked. She asked them to wear the poppy as a tribute to the fallen. That was November 1918. World War I was over, but America's sons would rest forever "in Flanders' Fields." Later she would spearhead a campaign that would result in the adoption of the poppy as the national symbol of sacrifice.
In Flanders Fields "In Flanders Fields" is a war poem in the form of a rondeau, written during the First World War by Canadian physician and Lt. Col. John McCrae. He was inspired to write it on May 3, 1915, after presiding over the funeral of friend and fellow soldier Alexis Helmer, who died during the Second Battle of Ypres.
In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below
We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved, and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.
–Lt. Col. John McCrae

Revised Copper Leaf Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)/Letter of agreement regarding sub- area planning efforts for the Old Fort Lake Business/Technology Park.
Mayor Courts mentioned that a working lunch with the developer and Nisqually Tribe will be held on May 10th to discuss the artifacts on the property. City Administrator Danek then thanked Deputy Mayor Westman’s questions and that a summary would be provided to the City Council.
Planning Director Wilson presented the nonbinding MOU to seek comments from City Council to address any concerns and then spoke about sub-area zoning and planned regulations on permitted uses/”Consent Decree”/prohibited activities and how the property in questions is governed by various covenants more restricted than that of the DuPont Municipal Code (DMC). He then spoke about the discussion with WA State Department of Ecology (DOE) relative to expanded uses; commercial framework under “Consent Decree” (i.e. hotels); CC&Rs and fitting design standards; access to property/facilities and the 1833 site/Ft. Lake historic sites; and also noted that parks are not permitted in the property. He spoke of CERB funding opportunity to spur economic development, collaboration with the Nisqually Tribe, and there could possibly be multiple development agreements. He added that the developer is committed to spend monies for the trail systems and access to cultural historic sites on 262 acre property and need Council’s support to provide framework. He then addressed the questions raised by Deputy Mayor Westman including specific uses allowed under DMC 25.40 in answer to the restrictive covenant; advantage of expanding the uses and discuss with DOE; City not obligated to purchase but the City has the ‘right of first refusal’ if we do not allow industrial use; and explained the 10-year Development Agreement with five year extension.
Councilmember Estep commented on the center portion of the property allowing permitted uses not to exceed 500,000SF per building; that the sale of property should be longer than “30 months”; and suggested looking into the repurchase of the bluff property at fair market value as an option to the citizens, and adding a switch-back trail relative to access Sequalitchew corridor. He then sought clarification on who is responsible for the Tribe graves relocation, and how improvements should relate to the Parks Master Plan; and on traffic mitigation and impacts to adjacent property owners.
Deputy Mayor Westman asked to include the sources of the various regulations (i.e. restrictive covenant, DMC, “Consent Decree”, etc.) for Copper Leaf; and also to clearly state that City is not obligated to purchase but has the “right of first refusal”.
Councilmember Corp spoke of the importance of noting infrastructure around the area and impacts of increased activity.
Councilmember Helder sought clarification on a realistic assessment of the sub-area plan process timeframe; and need to update the information presented on the draft MOU/LOA relative to real estate uses through the “Consent Decree.”
Councilmember Gorski clarified that the entire site is brownfield and ancillary uses; issues with the statement regarding current market conditions by not reacting to it but to instead focus on the City’s vision it represents; and then spoke about public safety and traffic impacts to dramatic increased development.
Councilmember Coffey commented on conflicts with the DMC 25.40 and requirements of DOE; concerns with brownfield sites; and sought clarification on what CERB mean.

AGENDA ITEM #13. 13.1.
DuPont Fire Department Preface: Under the RCW’s Chapter 53, city and town fire departments shall evaluate their level of service and deployment delivery and response time objectives on an annual basis. The evaluations shall be based on data relating to the level of service, deployment, and the achievement of each response time objective in each geographic area within the jurisdiction of the city or town. Planning: Evaluation reports assist in short-term and long-term planning for staffing, future station locations and future equipment needed to improve the level of services provided. Intent Overview: The legislature intends for city fire departments to set standards for addressing the reporting and accountability of a career fire department and to specify performance measures applicable to response time objectives for certain major services. The legislature acknowledges the efforts of the International City/County Management Association, the International Association of Fire Chiefs, and the National Fire Protection Association for the organization and deployment of resources for fire departments. The arrival of first responders with Automated External Defibrillator capabilities prior to cardiac arrest and the arrival of adequate fire suppression resources before a flash-over are both critical during the mitigation of an emergency and in the public's best interest. Annual Reporting Requirements: (53.56) Annual Evaluations- Annual Report
1. Every city and town shall evaluate their level of service, deployment delivery and response time objectives on an annual basis. The evaluations shall be based on data relating to the level of service, deployment, and the achievement of each response time objective in each geographic area within the jurisdiction of the city or town. 2. Beginning in 2007, every city and town shall issue an annual written report which shall be based on the annual evaluations required by subsection (1) of this section. a. The annual report shall define the geographic areas and circumstances in which the requirements of this standard are not being met. b. The annual report shall explain the predictable consequences of any deficiencies and address the steps that are necessary to achieve compliance. [2005 c 376 § 104.]

AGENDA ITEM #13. 13.1.
Mission, Values, Priorities and Principles Mission: The mission of the DuPont Fire Department is to provide professional services with compassion and integrity. Core Values: Efficient Response - Flawless Performance - Compassionate Actions Response to Emergencies: The core values of departments throughout the United States are basically; Save lives, protect property and preserve the environment centered around the of training, prevention, public education and response. Calls for service are dispatched using “run cards,” these are a preset list of resources based on call type. For example medical calls will dispatch our Ambulance, Engine and a Private Ambulance (when available). If the call is determined to be a major medical or trauma call, a Chief Officer is dispatched. A structure Fire will dispatch (3) Engines, (1) Ladder Truck and a Chief Officer. In order to complete this assignment, DuPont Fire must utilize mutual aid with both the Joint Base Lewis McCord Fire Department and West Pierce Fire. With the current staffing of 3, 1 officer and 2 firefighter/EMT’s, DuPont Fire responds to Basic Life Support calls and single Company Engine responses only, all other calls require mutual aid. DuPont Fire had a Fire or EMS Reserve on-duty about 45% of the time in 2016, assisting the on-duty career staff of three. Since 2013 DuPont Fire Department has experienced over a 14% increase in call volume and a 49% increase in transports by our Ambulance. In this same time period, the availability of the private paramedic ambulances has decreased from having an availability rate of 70% with a 12-minute response time in 2013 to an availability rate of 54% with an average response time of over 15 minutes and in some cases over 20 minutes in 2016.
Community Risk Assessment: Community Risk Assessment is centered on training, response to all calls and prevention activities. Each with the objective to improve quality of life and the safety of our citizens. Our responses can be broken into three categories consisting of the building type and number of personnel needed for the response (# parentheses). High Hazard (30)-High Rise, Schools, Nursing Homes, Public Assemblies and other types that have high life hazards. These fires require 1000 to 2,500 gallons per minute of sustained fire attack. Medium Hazard (21)-Apartment, Offices, Mercantile and Industrial Occupancies These fires require 1000 gallons per minute of sustained fire attack. Low Hazard (17)-One to Three Family dwellings, larger vehicles, outbuildings and scattered businesses including light Industrial. These fires require less than 250 gallons per minuets of sensational attack.
It’s understood that these numbers do include companies that can perform multiple tasks reducing that number by three each.

AGENDA ITEM #13. 13.1.
In all these hazard occupancies types, our deployment is dependent on resource availability, capability and operational effectiveness and as stated in the previous section, mutual aid to meet the staffing deployment standards. Additionally, there are four incident priorities: Life safety of occupants and/or firefighters and the initial patient care and transport Confinement and extinguishment of fire Property conservation Reduction and prevention of adverse environmental impacts On every incident there are three separate and distinct functions performed: Strategic- the plan for controlling an incident or situation and describing how the operation will be conducted Tactical-decision of who and what is needed to complete the assignment Task-the work or performance to complete the tactical assignment
Overall this is about getting the right resource in the right place at the right time. It is critical to cover these three functional areas with the staffing needed to provide the best outcomes on all responses. As stated above, since 2013 DuPont Fire Department has experienced over a 14% increase in call volume and a 49% increase in transports conducted by our Ambulance. In this same time period the availability of the private paramedic ambulances has decreased from 70% with a 12-minute response time in 2013 to 54% with an average response time of over 15 minutes, and in some cases over 20 minutes in 2016. In assessing the risk of the decreasing private ambulance response rate and increasing response times, Mayor Courts commissioned an Advance Life Support (ALS) task force to develop a plan to address this issue. A copy of that report can be found on the City of DuPont’s web site.
*********** Predictable Consequences It is important to understand the characteristics of the major priorities within the city fire department: Fire Suppression and Emergency Medical Services. The following describes the events involved with structure fires, cardiac arrest, and significant medical responses. The ultimate goal of any emergency service, is to provide sufficient resources (personnel, apparatus, and equipment) to the scene of an emergency in time to minimize the impacts of the emergency. Dynamics of Fire in Buildings Most fires, within buildings, develop in a predictable fashion unless influenced by highly flammable material, liquids or ignition sources. It can take minutes or sometimes hours (if smoldering) from the time of ignition until flame is visible. Smoldering fires are very dangerous, especially when people are sleeping, because large amounts of highly toxic smoke may be generated. As the objects burn, heated gases accumulate at the ceiling. These gases can be flammable and highly toxic. As the fire spreads, the flammable gases at the ceiling reach ignition temperature. At this point, an event termed “flashover” takes place; the gases ignite, which in turn ignites everything in the room. Flashover is usually not a survivable event.

AGENDA ITEM #13. 13.1.
Typically, in furnished and ventilated buildings, flashover usually happens about five to eight minutes from the appearance of flame, but with today’s fuel loads/furnishing and flow paths, they can burn much faster and reach flashover within three to four minutes. As an agency, we continually strive to look at policies and practices that provide services to the community. As the preceding pages show, we currently do not meet all of the response objectives we have established. We are unable to meet the Turnout Time objectives in all instances. We are also unable to assemble adequate personnel on most of the significant events within our established time frame. These deficiencies can lead to several undesirable consequences. Some of those consequences include: Increased frequency of brain death or severe mental deficiency in patients who require defibrillation to treat sudden cardiac arrest that presents with ventricular fibrillation. A reduced probability of surviving a hostile fire event in which rescue is necessary. Increased property loss in structural fires that have reached the flashover phase of the fire growth. Increased risk of firefighter injury or death trying to save persons and property in structural fires where either flashover has occurred or the framing elements are exposed to direct flame impingement.
Cardiac Arrest Sequence of Events The probability of recovery from cardiac arrest drops quickly as time progresses. Research stresses the importance of rapid cardiac defibrillation and administration of certain drugs as a means of improving the opportunity for successful resuscitation and survival:

Factors-People and Time Landmark Residential Fire Study Shows How Crew Sizes and Arrival Times Influence Saving Lives and Property WASHINGTON D.C.--A 2010 landmark study, by the U.S. Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), shows the size of firefighting crews has a substantial effect on the fire service's ability to protect lives and property in residential fires. Performed by a broad coalition in the scientific, firefighting, and public-safety communities, the study found that four-person firefighting crews were able to complete 22 essential firefighting and rescue tasks, in a typical residential structure, 30 percent faster than two-person crews, and 25 percent faster than three- person crews. The report is the first to quantify the effects of crew sizes and arrival times on the fire service's lifesaving and firefighting operations for residential fires. Until now, little scientific data have been available. "The results from this rigorous scientific study on the most common and deadly fires in the country— those in single-family residences—provide quantitative data to fire chiefs and public officials responsible for determining safe staffing levels, station locations and appropriate funding for community and firefighter safety," said NIST's Jason Averill, one of the study's principal investigators. According to the study, four-person crews were able to deliver water to a similar-sized fire 15 percent faster than the two- person crews and 6 percent faster than three-person crews. The faster delivery steps help to reduce property damage and lower danger to firefighters. "Fire risks grow exponentially. Each minute of delay is critical to the safety of the occupants and firefighters, and is directly related to property damage," said Averill, who leads NIST's Engineered Fire Safety Group within its Building and Fire Research Laboratory. "Our experiments directly address two primary objectives of the fire service: extinguishing the fire and rescuing occupants," said Lori Moore-Merrell of the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) and a principal investigator on the study. The four-person crews were able to complete search and rescue 30 percent faster than two-person crews and 5 percent faster than three-person crews, Moore-Merrell explained. Five-person crews were faster than four-person crews in several key tasks. The benefits of five-person crews have also been documented by other researchers for fires in medium- and high-hazard structures, such as high-rise buildings, commercial properties, factories and warehouses. "The results of the field experiments apply only to fires in low-hazard residential structures as described in the NFPA Standard 1710, but it provides a strong starting point," said Moore-Merrell. “Future research could extend the findings of the report to quantify the effects of crew size and apparatus arrival times in medium- and high-hazard structures” she said.

Regarding the development of a vehicle replacement program, which includes applying for FEMA Grants, it is fair to say we can extend the national recommendation based on the previous list of apparatus to include: our mileage, pump hours and on-going maintenance programs.
The short term priorities for apparatus replacement would include:
1. Prioritize Ladder - 25. This apparatus is in poor condition, it’s a 1983 with limited abilities. The ladder also has had, and will continue to need, costly repairs. 2. A secondary priority is replacing the first out Engine, with a 75’ quint type apparatus.

In conclusion, it is critical the City of DuPont invest in personnel to increase staffing levels with members trained to meet an increasing and changing demand for service and provide depth of personnel to provide daily staffing minimums. Going into 2017, the department will seek programs augmenting staffing and provide sufficient personnel for all calls for service.
Working toward staffing 4 career professional firefighters per shift minimum will increase effectiveness and optimize safety while satisfying the WAC requirement of “2 in/2 out” for structural interior firefighting. Four-person minimum staffing will increase operational effectiveness and safety on all calls for service. A daily staffing level goal of 5 to 6 that utilizes professional firefighters, augmented by reserve members, will allow the shift officer to be in the best position to effectively provide “all hazard” Command and Control of incidents.
For 2017 DuPont Fire Department will continue to strive to meet response goals and the following associated performance measures.
To effectively control risks to life, property, and the environment Continue equipping Ladder-25. Improve all response time standards. Transition to Electronic Patient Care Reporting Complete 100% of the business inspections. Update the “pre-fire” program Improve staffing levels. Continuation of reserve programs by increasing the numbers of qualified members. Continue developing mutual aid partnerships.

Finance Services Update:
Financial Condition Update Overall, most revenues received through April of 2017 are on track with those received for the same time period in 2016. There are a few exceptions to note. One-time monies of $70,000 were included in the February 2016 related to back taxes owed to the City from the second and third quarter of 2015. B&O tax and square footage tax would be ahead of revenues collected in 2016 for the same time period; however there is an outstanding 2017 tax payment expected to be received this spring. We are seeing a temporary decline in permit revenue; however expect to see substantial growth in that revenue later this year. As for General Fund expenditures, all departments are on track with expected and historical expenditure rates.
Highlights of General Fund revenues include:
Sales Tax – Sales tax collected through the month of April are coming in above budget expectations by about 4.7%. When compared to the same time last year, sales tax is coming in 1.2% behind 2016 receipts. This is reflective of the decrease in sales tax revenue related to the construction of the hotels which were much higher in 2016.
The following tables and graph show monthly sales tax collections for 2016 and 2017 by month and by business sector through March.
City of DuPont Actual Monthly Sales Tax Receipts Sales Tax Receipts Dollar Percent Month 2016 2017 Change Change January 60,589 74,583 13,994 23.1% February 81,451 94,161 12,710 15.6% March 66,683 69,813 3,130 4.7% April 89,777 56,498 (33,279) -37.1% Total 298,500 295,055 (3,445) -1.2%
With only four months of revenue it is difficult to draw a conclusion at this time for how the remainder of the year will go but we are certainly off to a good start. The graph below will become more helpful as the year goes on.

Although we are seeing a significant decrease in contracting as the hotels’ construction are nearing their end yet that is offset by significant increases in other areas particularly wholesaling, services and other retail.
City of DuPont Actual Sales Tax Receipts Business Sector YTD as of June Dollar Percent Percent of Total Group 2016 2017 Change Change 2016 2017 Services 45,480 54,618 9,138 20.1% 15.2% 18.5% Contracting 73,244 46,305 (26,939) -36.8% 24.5% 15.7% Communications 14,281 14,479 198 1.4% 4.8% 4.9% Auto/Gas Retail 6,715 6,738 23 0.3% 2.2% 2.3% Gen Merch/Misc Retail 7,691 6,958 (733) -9.5% 2.6% 2.4% Retail Eating/Drinking 47,111 46,392 (719) -1.5% 15.8% 15.7% Other Retail 35,519 41,327 5,808 16.4% 11.9% 14.0% Wholesale 19,027 27,220 8,193 43.1% 6.4% 9.2% Miscellaneous 49,432 51,018 1,586 3.2% 16.6% 17.3% Total 298,500 295,055 (3,445) -1.2% 100.0% 100.0%
B&O Taxes – Business and Occupation (B&O) taxes are collected on a gross receipts basis and, for certain types of businesses, a square footage basis as well. With exception to an outstanding 2017 tax payment expected to be received this spring, combined revenues from both gross receipts B&O tax and square footage B&O tax are ahead of revenues collected at this time in 2016 by $44,376 or 19.1%.
Permit revenues – Permit revenues collected through April total $46,903. When compared to the same time in 2016, we have collected $36,213 less for the same period in 2017. However, we are expecting some permit revenues to increase dramatically as the year progresses.
Lodging Tax – Although not in the General Fund, lodging tax revenues are important to the general fund. Revenue received through April 2017 on par with revenues collected through April 2016. Now that one of the two new hotels has opened, we anticipate seeing growth in these revenue numbers in the upcoming months.
REET – REET revenue through April 2017 totaled $106,521 and has come in $285,869 below revenue collected through April 2016 as the result of a large sale from February 2016 impacting April 2016 revenues totaling over $300,000.
Department Update A number of projects were started or continued to be worked on in April and into May by the Finance Director and staff including:
2017 budget book is complete, printed and distributed. 2016 Annual Reports for State Auditor’s Office 1st Quarter Budget Amendment Internal audit of L&I premiums paid Continue to surplus machinery and equipment as authorized through quarterly inventory surplus resolutions.

We have three categories of calls for service: priority one, two and three. Priority one calls are emergency calls where there is a potential for serious injury or loss of life. Priority two calls are those that are less serious but require immediate attention. A priority three call is one that does not need immediate attention and is usually handled when officers have time available. Response times can vary greatly due to the number of officers working, ongoing higher priority activity or drive time. The chart below compares our 2017 monthly response times with the 2016 average. This information is used to review manpower, officer availability and activity levels. Our response time is measured from the time the officer receives the call until the time he arrives.

Chief’s Message
It is with great pride and satisfaction that I present this annual report to the Mayor, City Council, City Administrator, Police Department employees and citizens of DuPont. This annual report is a complete review of the DuPont Police Department for the year 2016.
Chief Bob Sheehan
While all of the information contained in this report is very important in order to identify goals and challenges for the coming years, there are some critical areas I would like to bring to your attention.
1. The DuPont Police Department became a state accredited agency in 2016. This was a huge accomplishment for the department as well as a proud accomplishment for our city. The department will be re-accredited in 2020. 2. The department three-year business plan was completed. The year of 2017 will be a bridge year to establish a new plan that will begin in 2018. 3. The department became fully staffed in 2016. This means that all budgeted positions were filled. 4. At the end of 2016 and beginning of 2017, we completed our second citizen and employee surveys. The results of the citizen survey were again very satisfying to me and an indicator that our community policing programs are working. The employee survey was a great opportunity for us as a department to interact and discuss internal/external issues. These surveys will be used to develop our goals for the next business plan. 5. In 2016 we implemented our Community Policing Village Program which was a great success. We also implemented our Community Resource Officer (CRO) position to complement the Village Program. This entire program is very popular and extremely useful for the entire City. Other city departments are using this program as an opportunity to educate and communicate with the citizens of DuPont.
Again, I am very proud of the department for all the hard work that was produced over the last year. Our crime statistics indicate a low crime rate and a very proactive police department.
Lastly, I would like to announce my retirement on May 31, 2017, which will give me 35 years in law enforcement. My heart will always be with both the police department and the citizens of

I would like to thank the members of the department for their hard work and commitment in 2016.

AGENDA ITEM #13. 13.1. ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
Organizational Structure
The purpose of the organizational chart is to show the department’s current staffing levels and organizational structure.
In the beginning of 2016 we had two open positions. Both of these positions have been filled. We hired officers Tony Chung and Wyatt Gustason. Officer Chung is currently working graveyard patrol and Officer Gustason is completing his field training and will be assigned to patrol mid- June 2017. We also had a position become vacant and hired a lateral officer, Ed Barnes. Officer Barnes currently works a day shift.
Officer Morley is our full time Community Resource Officer (CRO) and assists with patrol calls for service when needed.
We presently have no reserve officers, but we are actively recruiting. In 2016 we had one reserve officer who became a full time officer – this was Officer Gustason.
In 2016, the Mayor and City Council authorized a Police Clerk/Receptionist for the police department. We expect to fill this position by July 2017.
Our Volunteer program is continuing to be a tremendous success in helping the police department serve the walk-in public, participate in the Trail Watch program and assist with citywide special events.
Our Volunteer Chaplain program has been in existence for many years and continues to be a great success as well, serving both employees and citizens. Thank you to Chaplain Greg Ford for all that he does!

Accreditation Reports
2016 Complaints and Biased Based Policing
In 2016, the DuPont Police Department received 10 complaints related to the department in regards to specific complaints about our officers and/or the department. These ranged from job performance, officer conduct, policy violations and improper records handling. Each of the complaints were investigated and 2 of the 10 were found to be sustained. Letters were sent to the complainants at the conclusion of the investigations. The sustained complaints were handled by verbal counseling and additional training.
The five (5) unfounded complaints dealt with traffic violations, officer conduct, and harassment. There were three (3) complaints that were redefined as inquiries and explanations provided as to police procedures. There were no complaints or internal investigations with regard to biased based policing during 2016. Our officers received biased-based policing training in 2016.

AGENDA ITEM #13. 13.1. ACCREDITATION REPORTS
2016 Use of Force report
Officers of the DuPont Police Department are given the tools to perform their jobs as professionally and safely as possible. Among these tools are the non-lethal options for use of force: OC, bean bags, TASER, baton and Defensive Tactics. Our officers train biennially on these options. During the year 2016, officers of the DuPont Police Department utilized non-lethal use of force 13 times. The following is breakdown of those incidents.
Oleoresin Capsicum – 0
TASER – 1
Bean Bag – 0
Baton – 0
Defensive Tactics – 8
Stop sticks (pursuit) – 3
Euthanization – 1
The TASER application was during an arrest situation when the suspect became combative. There was no injury. The defensive tactics applications arose out of arrest situations where the suspects resisted arrest by our officers.
Falling under the umbrella of use of force is the utilization of stop sticks. DuPont officers responded to 2 outside agency assists involving a vehicular pursuit. Our officer was able to get in front of the pursuit path and deployed a set of stop sticks to assist in stopping the suspect vehicle. They were not successful in these applications. The euthanization of an animal is also covered in our use of force policies. A badly injured deer was dispatched by a single shot to end its misery.
All of these reported uses of force were reviewed by their supervisors and were within our policy. There was one minor injury sustained by an officer in one incident.

AGENDA ITEM #13. 13.1. ACCREDITATION REPORTS
2016 Pursuit Report
As part of their duties, officers of the DuPont Police Department are given training in Emergency Vehicle Operations. Vehicular pursuits carry a lot of liability and we strive to make sure our officers are trained if they become involved in a pursuit. Another tool we provide to the officers are stop sticks; devices utilized to puncture the tires of the fleeing vehicle if they can be deployed in front of the suspect. During the year 2016, the DuPont Police Department did initiate 2 vehicle pursuits. We also assisted the Lakewood Police Department in 2 pursuits by deploying stop sticks 3 times.
This report will establish the baseline for future annual reports.
Pursuits – 2
Use of stop sticks – 3
The first pursuit was a slow speed pursuit that never exceeded 40 miles per hour and was less than 3 miles in length. The driver finally complied and stopped. He was arrested without incident. The second pursuit was a high speed pursuit with speeds exceeding 100 miles per hour. The suspect lost control on the back roads of the Nisqually Valley. He fled on foot but was caught by our officer. The female passenger fled on foot but was detained by a passing citizen. She sustained minor injuries as a result of the collision and was treated by the Lacey Fire Department. Both pursuits were found to be within policy.

8. Community Policing Village Program - In 2016 we launched the Community Policing Village Program in partnership with Safe Streets, with great success! We have established Community Connector groups in all villages with the exception of the Rancho Madrona area. These groups meet on their own in each village as they see fit. We have bi-monthly training at the Emergency Operation Center (EOC) to update and receive feedback from our groups. The following is a sampling of some of the topics discussed: . CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) . Mapping neighborhoods . Disaster Preparedness . Discussions on the need for a Community Village Policing Program . Neighborhood problem solving Each village has an officer assigned to it to assist the Community Connector group: 801 Historic Village = Officer Thompson 802 Rancho Madrona = Officer Adkins 803 Palisade Village= Detective Cummings 804 Edmonds Village = Officer Morley 806 Yehle Village = Officer Goss 807 Hoffman Hill Village = Sergeant Nelson/Officer Barnes 808 Bell Hill = Sergeant Saboe/Officer Chung
Community Resources Officer (CRO) is the program manager for the Community Connector Program and can be contacted at (253) 912-5263. Over the last year, other department leaders have used the Community Connectors meetings to help citizens understand their departments. This has been a wonderful evolution of the program. We are looking forward to great things in 2017.
If you are interested in getting involved in the Community Policing Village Program, let us know and we will introduce you to others within your village.
Last, but not least, we’d like to give thanks to all of the Community Connectors for their involvement and volunteerism.

Cascadia Rising Earthquake Exercise
The DuPont Police Department has taken a huge step forward in radio communications preparedness and was tested successfully on June 8th, 2016 in a radio communications drill with other emergency operations centers (EOC’s) in the Pierce County area. The department, through a grant from the Pierce County Department of Emergency Management, received funds to allow the purchase of a complete radio set up that provides capabilities on the amateur radio VHF, UHF and HF frequency bands for both voice and digital capability. Amateur radio is widely used across the planet to facilitate communications in time of emergency. This equipment allows the radio operators to communicate with other EOC’s and emergency responders when normal means of communications have failed. In any crisis, communications is important and this equipment enhances our ability to get resources to our community and to maintain safety for our citizens and responders.

Memorial Day
The City of DuPont’s Annual Memorial Day Ceremony is scheduled for Monday, May 29th at Ross Plaza. The ceremony begins at noon. I am pleased to announce that this year's Keynote Speaker is Desmond Doss Jr., son of Congressional Medal of Honor Recipient Desmond Doss Sr... The movie Hacksaw Ridge is based off the true story of Pfc Desmond T Doss, who was the recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor despite refusing to bear arms during WWII on religious grounds. Without firing a shot, he was able to save 75 men in the Battle of Okinawa. It is an honor for the City of DuPont host Mr. Doss over the Memorial Day weekend.
With the passing of Congressional Medal of Honor Recipient Wilburn K Ross, the city will also be honoring his life on Memorial Day. A private reception will be held at Patriot's Landing for family members and distinguished guests prior to our formal ceremony at Ross Plaza. All City Council members are invited to attend both events.
Black ribbons will adorn Center Drive in honor of Mr. Ross. Ribbons will be installed by members of Grace Works Church.

Monthly Activity Report for April 2017 Operational Highlights
A wind storm April 7, 2017 caused 4 trees to fall down, 4 stop signs to be replaced, and a lot of tree limbs breaking landing on streets/trails. Sequalitchew Creek Trail and PowderWorks Park were closed to allow for tree limb debris removal.
Preparation/restoration of the baseball field at Powderworks Park for Little League Opening Day Jamboree on April 15. Work included turf and infield restoration, backstop and bases repairs, and general cleaning.
Historic Village Alley Maintenance occurred April 25 – 28. This work involved restoration of alley surface with grading and filling. The alley surface is comprised of crush rock from Cal Portland. We are testing one alley corner-location with aggregate from an alternative Tumwater source. October 2017 will be the next maintenance period, and will compare how this test site compares with our normal aggregate source.
Spring Clean Up was on Saturday April 29. LeMay waste connections provided curbside pickup and the vacant lot adjacent to city hall was the bulky waste site. The bulky waste site included Goodwill Industries for donation drop off. The event generated 2 trailers of donations for Goodwill Industries and 10 dumpster trailers (40 cubic yards) of waste.
Public Works received new grounds maintenance equipment replacing out of service gear: John Deere Mower with buffalo blower, and 16 ft trailer for hauling grounds maintenance equipment. See attached photos.
Bi monthly water meter reading was completed in April for the March and April utility billing.
Utility locates have increased to 80 events this month, which is up from 30 events last month due to increased installation of signs for home sales or rental.
Our sweeper has been busy logging in 413 miles of streets, accumulating about 63 cubic yards of debris.
Contracting Highlights
Bid Opening of Museum Renovation (bathroom ADA renovation and windows replacement), and subsequent award to Corp Tap Construction. Completion date is May 31, 2017.
Bell Hill Well #1 Pre-Construction Meeting: May 2, 2017, expected start late May 2017.
Bell Hill Booster Pump Upgrades Pre-Construction Meeting: May 9, 2017. Due to long lead time for electrical equipment, start date is September 2017.
Tree Removal contract underway. Palisade Village and DuPont Station has over 1700 street trees. Besides removing the trees that will not survive root pruning (227), the neighborhood was surveyed for trees that were too close to street lights (<15 ft.) or were planted adjacent (<5 ft.) to water meters where we are seeing damage due to tree roots. This added an additional 227 trees for removal for a total of 454 trees to be removed.
Water Production
Winter Consumption remains steady in winter water production. Heavy rains in March and April has not started irrigation. Expect the start of irrigation consumption during the month of May, unless seasonal rain continues. This matches historical productions trends from past years. April production was 22.8M gallons or 3M cubic feet. Bell Hill Well #1 remains out of service and Bell Hill Well #3 is producing in its place. See attached graph.

City of DuPont Lodging Tax Advisory Committee Meeting April 4, 2017 11:00 a.m. DuPont City Hall 1700 Civic Drive DuPont, WA 98327
The meeting was called to order at 11:00 a.m. Members present were: Committee Chair Councilmember Roger Westman, Kathy Trotter, Larry Ackerman, Carol Estep, Mark Horace, Katharina Potter and Amy Walker. Also present were Finance Director Paula Barry and City Administrator Ted Danek. Lodging Tax Grant applicants Chris Swanson, Pacific Lutheran University and Ann Swanson, Grace Harbor College were present and available to discuss their applications. Approval of the agenda: Motion- Kathy Trotter, Second- Amy Walker. Motion passed unanimously. The group reviewed the minutes of the August 10, 2016 minutes. Carol Estep provided some edits to the minutes. Approval of the minutes as corrected: Motion- Amy Walker, Second-Larry Ackerman. Motion passed unanimously. Public Comment: Committee Chair Westman asked the guests in attendance to tell us who they are and any comments. Chris Swanson, Head Men’s Golf Coach at Pacific Lutheran University and Ann Swanson, Head Men’s/Women’s Golf Coach at Grace Harbor College was in attendance. Members of the panel introduced themselves. Review of 2017 Budget: Finance Director Paula Barry discussed the 2017 budget. During 2016 hotel/motel tax revenues came above expectations. 2016 grant reimbursements came in under award amounts. As a result the Lodging Tax fund ending 2016 with a fund balance of $175,000 instead of the $127,000 anticipated ending fund balance. Hotel/Motel Tax revenues for 2017 reflect an anticipated 30% increase in revenues over 2016 because of the two new hotels that have or will be opening during 2017. Grants for 2017 have been awarded totaling $174,000. Since the 2016 ending fund balance is $48,000 greater than projected those funds can be used to fund the 2017 Part B grants. Committee Chair Westman reviewed the guidelines related to LTAC Grants and should be considered when reviewing the applications. Collegiate Open Golf Tournament – Pacific Lutheran University Chris Swanson, Head Coach at PLU did prepare a revised application recognizing that the committee may not be comfortable funding the entire ask. Mark Horace as an hotelier he is comfortable with the full funding of the original ask. These types of events come with overnight
Resolution No. 17-512 Approving Part B Lodging Tax Advisory ... Page 119 of 129 AGENDA ITEM #15. 15.1.
stays. Kathy Trotter recognizes that these types of events replenishes the fund but she likes to see the people asking for the funding have some skin in the game. They are inviting teams of five to come and compete in which most teams will be coming from more than 50 miles including from Eastern Washington, Oregon, Idaho and British Columbia for a three day event. Chris Swanson said they chose The Home Course because of its notoriety. They do ask for an entry fee (around $600/team) but it doesn’t cover everything. Mark Horace strongly recommended they keep track of where the teams are staying when they are here. Amy Walker knows that the teams often come with families who will spend money in DuPont. She knows how much time goes into putting on a golf tournament and by PLU and Grace Harbor College are covering the costs of those salaries for their time to put the event together are proving that they do have skin in the game. Amy Walker supports the original application for this event. Carol Estep asked about people coming to view the event. Chris Swanson stated that they invite recruits to come out and watch the events and local high schoolers will often come out and watch the events. Committee Chair Westman asked that they City of DuPont be recognized as a sponsor of the event. Mark Horace asked PLU to provide additional information before the application goes forward to City Council explaining their budget such as how much revenue estimated to be received from entry fees, what those costs would be used for, and include the administration costs associated with putting on this event. Committee Chair Westman explained the next steps in the process explaining City Council’s role in reviewing recommendations by the committee and approving some or all of the grants recommended. Motion to approve the application for full funding of $14,700 – Amy Walker. Second – Larry Ackerman. Motion passed unanimously. Lions Centennial Celebration – Lion’s Club Although representatives from the Lion’s Club are not available, Amy Walker states that she met with them and is able to answer many of the questions the committee may have about the event. Larry Ackerman has information on this as well. Amy stated that the Lions are expecting 300 members. They are hosting an all-day event in which the planners and some attendees will be staying at the local hotels. Mark Horace stated they are bringing in some hotel nights; however, he is confused by the attached budget which stated they were budgeting $3,000 from LTAC yet their application was for $9,500. And $9,500 is a big ask for a one-day event which appears to be a party. Mark Horace shared an equation that demonstrates how much it takes to rebuild LTAC dollars. A $500 grant takes 250 room nights at $100 to replenish the $500. A $5,000 grant takes 2,500 room nights. Therefore their $9,500 application is a big ask from the lodging tax funds. He appreciates all that the Lions Club does for the City. Kathy Trotter agrees. Multiple members of the committee expressed the same and feel it would be appropriate to grant them some funding but not as much as they asked.

Motion to approve the application for partial funding at $3,000 – Mark Horace. Second – Larry Ackerman. Motion passed unanimously. Abstained: Kathy Trotter and Amy Walker. Museum Website – DuPont Historical Society Motion to approve the application for full funding of $350 – Mark Horace. Second – Kathy Trotter. Motion passed unanimously. Interpretive Signage – DuPont Historical Society Motion to approve the application for full funding of $1,200 – Amy Walker. Second – Kathy Trotter. Motion passed unanimously. North America Golf (NAG) Tourism Convention – City of DuPont Tourism Kathy Trotter recommended increasing funding for this to $3,000 to cover more of the cost. This opportunity would be the first in what the City hopes to be a multiple year event in which the City could focus on promoting DuPont as a golfing destination. Kathy Trotter thinks it is a great idea as golf is one of DuPont’s biggest draws. Ted Danek, as the applicant, recommended keeping the funding of the grant at $2,000. Motion to approve the application for full funding of $2,000 – Mark Horace. Second – Kathy Trotter. Motion passed unanimously. WA Women’s Amateur Championship – WA State Golf Association (WSGA) Mark Horace stated that this is another function to highly track the number of people who are going to be here overnight, where they are going and what they are doing. We want to show support for the Washington Golf Association as well since they bring visitors on a continual basis. Motion to approve the application for full funding of $6,000 – Kathy Trotter. Second – Larry Ackerman. Motion passed unanimously. Abstained: Amy Walker Heirloom Orchard – City of DuPont Tourism Kathy Trotter explained that last year cuttings were taken from the heirloom trees. Of the grafts taken, 36 have survived so far. Last year’s LTAC money was used to do a wetland study to determine the boundaries to ensure we do not infringe on the wetland. It also went to put up a fence to keep the wild animals out of the orchard trees so they do not get damaged once planted. The plan is two trees of each variety. This year’s request is to provide maintenance to the existing orchard as well as additional grafts done. To allow access to the public is yet to be determined. The City is working on updating their Critical (Sensitive) Areas Ordinance. Motion to approve the application for full funding of $4,000 – Mark Horace. Second – Larry Ackerman. Motion passed unanimously.

Concerts in the Park – City of DuPont Recreation Amy stated that these concerts in the park rank very high in the Parks Master Plan. The Parks and Recreation Agency are also doing fundraising. The goal is to host two concerts in the park. If this comes back again next year, Mark Horace would like to know what the City’s plan is to fund this in the future. Carol Estep recommended looking at opportunities to combine it with other events that go on in the City. Kathy Trotter mentioned that this is not going to result in many hotel stays. Kathy Trotter asked to see the entire budget in the future. Committee Chair Westman would like to see the ROA cover part of the cost of this in the future. The committee discussed potential ways to draw people from further away in the future. Motion to approve the application for full funding of $1,500 – Kathy Trotter. Second – Larry Ackerman. Motion passed unanimously. Moon Walk – City of DuPont Tourism Kathy Trotter asked how the moon walk will be advertised to people outside a 50 mile radius. Amy Walker stated that last year it was advertised well outside the 50 miles and that will occur again this year. Last year visitors were tracked and about 25% of the attendees came from out of the City. Carol Estep recommends advertising it as a good family walk. Committee Chair Westman mentioned that the Moon Walk could serve as a catalyst to bring people in to enjoy our trails. Kathy Trotter thought it would be great to celebrate an all-day or all weekend trail day type celebration and have the Moon Walk tied to that event. Motion to approve the application for full funding of $1,500 – Mark Horace. Second – Kathy Trotter. Motion passed unanimously. Adjourn Motion to adjourn- Larry Ackerman, Second- Kathy Trotter.
