Sumner Looks to Annex 8th Street Area in North Part of City
T
he Sumner City Council has approved annexation of nearly 320 acres of land into the City limits. The property is located north and west of the Sumner Municipal Golf Course on both sides of 8th Street East. If the proposed annexation is approved by the Pierce County Boundary Review Board, it would be the final expansion of Sumner's northern boundary. The new City boundary would be adjacent to the cities of Pacific and Auburn.
The proposed annexation area is mostly vacant, developable land, although it does include several existing businesses, including Manke Lumber, Robison Construction, and Potelco. The area also includes several residences and the Valley Bible Church. The current assessed value of the annexation area is approximately $27.8 million. A cost-benefit study of the annexation projected a net gain of 891 jobs and approximately $4.8 million in revenue to the City over the next 20 years. This represents a direct benefit to all existing property owners by expanding the tax base of the City, helping to keep property tax rates down. Zoning for future development in the area calls for a mix of industrial, commercial and high-density residential uses. Prior to the approval of the annexation, the City had negotiated a pre-annexation agreement with Pierce County regarding future improvements to 8th Street East. This project will continue as a County-managed project, but will be constructed to City standards. It will also ensure excellent access to the Sumner Municipal Golf Course and future commercial development along 8th Street East.

MAYOR’S MESSAGE
Summer’s a Busy, Fun Time Around City

T
he season of construction is upon us. Sumner has several projects ongoing at this time. Traffic Avenue is finally under way. For a main entrance into town, two lanes don't handle the traffic. By early winter the major construction should be completed and traffic on the west side of town should be much easier to handle.
MAYOR Barbara Skinner
The Skateboard Park is under construction! I feel like I've been talking about this park for half my life and I know, for the skateboarders, it really has been half their lives! By the end of July we Barbara expect to see these athletes demonstrating their skills. St. Skinner Andrews Church donated 5000 sq. ft. of land and Mike Corliss and Bryan Stowe have contributed dollars and expertise to build a park we never could have afforded, without their help. Our thanks go to Mike and Bryan and to Father Tom and the parish of St. Andrew. Together we are building a wonderful project. Many people are wondering whether the Fred Meyer store will come to town and what the impact would be if it did. Several years ago the City decided we want development on Main Street to have a Sumner "look/feel" to it. The planners and engineers in our Community Development and Public Works Departments measure a proposed project against our Design Guidelines. If a project doesn't measure up, then it can't be built. In addition, the developer would have to deal with the expected traffic impact created by their store. As of this newsletter’s deadline, FM had not applied for a permit. They continue to study the requirements before making a decision. Now we wait to see what this summer brings us. If the drought continues Lake Tapps will be affected and maybe the springs in our watershed. We'll have to be good about not wasting water. Let's hope the Sumner Summer Festival is one of those dry times. And don't forget, we'll be having Concerts in the (Heritage) Park this summer. Check this newsletter for the schedule and mark them on your calendar. You don't want to miss them. When I look around and see friends, neighbors, and strangers sitting on the grass and enjoying whatever the concert brings to us, I recall why I live in a town called Sumner.

He was elected to the Council again in 1995 and 1999.
Goff has lived in Sumner since 1934. His three children all graduated from Sumner High School. Now retired, Goff formerly worked as an ambulance driver. Looking back on his years on the City Council, he said the greatest accomplishment he's been a part of is developing a good Comprehensive Plan that has helped control and
Leroy Goff
guide growth in the City. He said development of the plan involved numerous community meetings and a great amount of public input. Goff's future goals for the City include finishing the Traffic Avenue improvement project, the new police department facility and City Hall expansion and finishing the 24th Street freeway interchange that will take truck traffic away from downtown Sumner.
He said the biggest issue for him, both in the past and future, is trying to control growth. He said he wants the City to maintain the small-town ambiance of Sumner but still recognize that growth is going to happen.

Fred Meyer Looks at Sumner
CITY ADMINISTRATOR’S MESSAGE "Pardon our Progress!" – City Hall "transition" will be starting in August as City staff prepares for the move to the new building. Two moves will be required for several offices because Administration, the City Attorney, the Court, and Finance will have to move first into temporary quarters in the new wing while the old section of City Hall is remodeled, and then back into the newly-remodeled offices in October.
F
The major move is scheduled for August 10 - 11 and is being conducted over a weekend to minimize any disrupAndrew Neiditz tion to our citizens and customers. Nevertheless, there will be a bit of confusion as staff members pack up and then unpack their offices, so please bear with us – the end result will be a building we can all be proud of. The Masons are presenting the City with a Cornerstone Ceremony to help us dedicate the new building. The ceremony is scheduled for 11 a.m. on August 3, during the Sumner Summer Arts Festival. We recently reviewed the County's new construction statistics from the AssessorTreasurer's office, where they track the numbers to ensure a balance of taxation on all properties. As a stark reminder of how full our staff workload is in planning and permitting and public works, the chart for the last three years of construction growth in Pierce County indicates that the City of Sumner had the highest level of new construction of all 20 cities outside of Tacoma for two of the last three years. For the year 2000, the actual dollar amount was over $70 million. But, in spite of being busy, Sumner's sense of community is a high priority, and we remain committed to quality growth and economic development, so that we "build the future by honoring the past." – Andrew Neiditz
New Finance and Systems Director Mary Ann Norquist joined the City of Sumner as the Finance and Systems Director on April 23. In this newly created position, she oversees the Finance Department, which has 5.5 employees and the Information Systems Department, with 2 employees.
While a permit application has not yet been submitted to the City for review, Fred Meyer representatives have met several times with City staff to review the City's development regulations. The proposed development would be required to meet the City's design and development standards, as well as performing environmental and traffic studies for review by City staff. As proposed, the development would include a Fred Meyer store and gas station, plus at least three other retail buildings located along Main Street. Pedestrian walkways, landscaping and open space areas also are included to meet City standards. If you would like more information, please contact Community Development Director Leonard Bauer at 253-891-3300.

The City of Sumner web site is at “www.ci.sumner.wa.us".
red Meyer is studying the feasibility of locating its next store on vacant property near the northeast corner of Valley Avenue and Main Street in Sumner. Company representatives held an open house in Sumner on May 22, 2001, to explain the proposal and get feedback from Sumner citizens. More than 100 interested people from the Sumner area attended the meeting, asking questions and providing their thoughts on the proposed development.

Senior Center Project Gets Funding
T
he City's planned expansion of the Senior Center received a huge boost from the Community Development Block Grant Program. Pierce County government administers the federally-funded program where local governments compete to receive the grants.
Sumner will receive $100,000 toward the project to accompany the $25,000 that comes directly from Pierce County and $9,000 from the City. An additional $16,000 was raised by the seniors who attend the Center. The expansion project will add 1,000 square feet to the existing 6,000 square foot building. The new space will allow for an expanded meal site, additional recreational and health activities, and a greater diversity of programming. The design of the Center will occur this fall with construction planned for next summer. Tingstad & Rumbel conclude the summer series on August 24.
For additional information about the Senior Center project, contact Assistant City Administrator John Doan at 826-9414.
Skaters Getting a Home
C
ompletion of the City's Skate Park is planned for the end of July. The park is being donated to the City by Mike Corliss and Bryan Stowe. It is located at the southwest corner of the Sports Complex, on land donated by St. Andrews Catholic Church.
The Park was designed by Purkis.Rose-RSI and Dreamland Skateparks Design. It will offer opportunities for novice skaters in a "street skate" area. Advanced skaters will enjoy the Dreamline-designed portion of the park, which features an 8foot contoured bowl. A grand opening and dedication is planned for later. Watch the newspaper and City web site (www.ci.sumner.wa.us) for details.
The bowls and bumps at the new Skate Park are taking shape with opening planned for later this summer.

SUMNER PROJECTS Traffic Avenue Work began in June on the widening of Traffic Avenue from Thompson Street to Main Street. When completed, Traffic Avenue will be a four-lane boulevard, with a landscaped median and left turn lanes with a 10-foot wide pedestrian walkway on the train station side (east) and a pull-out area for dropping people off or picking them up at the train station. The project also includes installation of a traffic signal at Traffic Avenue and State Street and widening of State Street. Ordarte Construction of Auburn was awarded the bid for the $1.5 million project in May. It is hoped all paving can be completed by the end of the year. Traffic Avenue remains open during construction, but motorists are advised to take alternate routes.
Sewage Treatment Plant The Sumner City Council has approved a design contract for expansion and improvements at the City's sewage treatment plant. Improvements will include nearly doubling capacity and upgrading treatment to comply with new federal water standards. Advanced secondary treatment will remove ammonia from the water discharged into the Stuck River and replace it with non-toxic nitrates. Ammonia is toxic to fish. The upgrades will eliminate odors from the treatment plant. The total cost of the project is $16 million. The City of Bonney Lake is sharing in the cost since it sends sewage to the treatment plant. Work is expected to take 15 months, with completion at the end of 2003.
Puyallup Avenue LID A local improvement district, LID 75, has been formed and approved in the northern industrial area to improve Puyallup Street from Williams Avenue to East Valley Highway. The project extends Puyallup Street 2,000 feet to the east to connect with the East Valley Highway. The improvements include a 10 foot pedestrian walkway.

Train Station Area Plan Underway
T
he City of Sumner has begun working on a plan for the future of the neighborhood around the Sumner commuter rail station. The study area is approximately one-quarter-mile around the station. This includes most of downtown Sumner west of Wood Avenue, commercial areas along Traffic and Fryar Avenues, and residential neighborhoods surrounding the rail station on both sides of Traffic Avenue. Based on the experience of commuter rail stations in other U.S. cities, this is the area most attractive to new development within 5-10 years after opening of a new rail station. The purpose of the plan is to ensure the City's development policies are in place to guide and direct new development that may wish to locate near the rail station. It will examine the effect of the station and plan for appropriate future development (or redevelopment) in the neighborhood. The Sumner Planning Commission is overseeing the development of this Station Area Plan.
Two studies are being completed by consultants to provide detailed background information for the Station Area Plan. Heffron Transportation is studying current and future parking needs in the downtown and train station area. This study will include recommendations to address existing parking deficiencies. It also will predict future parking needs and identify methods for meeting those needs. The second study is a market analysis being performed by ECONorthwest. This analysis will provide information on market trends that may affect the neighborhood and what type of development might be expected to locate in the vicinity of the train station. Development scenarios will be developed for specific sites to test the marketability of certain types of development. These projections of possible future development will help the City create a plan for guiding development that is appropriate for the neighborhood. Public meetings will be held throughout the plan's development, which is expected to continue through late 2001. If you would like more information, please contact Community Development Director Leonard Bauer at 253-8913300.
Sumner Cemetery Dates Back to Civil War Era
T
he City of Sumner's Cemetery on Valley Avenue East is one of the City's oldest institutions, having been dedicated in 1864. Records show that Sumner pioneers Olive, Abram and Isaac Woolery are buried there. War veterans reaching all the way back to the Civil War are buried in the Pioneer The south section of the cemetery has 27 Section, on the north side of Valley acres available for expansion. Avenue East. The newer section of cemetery on the south side of Valley opened in 1947 and still has plenty of room for future growth. It is nestled alongside the freeway, SR 167, with tremendous views of Mount Rainier. There are 54 total acres in the south section, with about half developed. The cemetery has a variety of burial options including the urn garden, glass front in the mauseleum, and full-sized plots. Burial at the cemetery is open to Sumner residents and nonresidents. The staff can explain the pre-need sales option. A master plan for the cemetery was developed in 1997 that was based on input from citizens attending a series of meetings. Future improvements include a new veterans' memorial area, new raised marker burial areas, a new mausoleum and new urn walls.

Easy-To-Use Heart Defibrillators In Place Around Sumner
T
he city-wide AED program is now up and running with several Automatic External Defibrillators placed in some City facilities and police patrol cars. AED's are the newest tool in helping to save victims of sudden cardiac arrest by passing an electrical current through electrodes placed on the body directly to the heart in an effort to reset its electrical system.
The Lifepak 500 AED is a very easy-to-use machine that literally talks the user through the steps necessary to apply it and continues to talk the rescuer through the entire process of assessment and treatment. The devices are small and lightweight making them easy to store. Internal systems perform a self-check automatically and notify the user if a problem exists. Battery packs should last for several years with normal use. So far, 23 people have been trained by the fire department, incorporating AED use into CPR and first aid. Three units are in police cars, and one each at City Hall and the Senior Center. Upon completion of training, an additional unit will be placed at the golf course for use on the links.
Sumner Fire Department personnel practice use of an AED. From left are Capt. Ron Anderson, paramedic Jeff Lucas and Fire Inspector Paul Brockwell.
Their placement around Sumner will enhance our public safety system and quite possibly save a life.
Newly Hired Parking Officer to Enforce Restrictions Ronald Lawson, retired from the U.S. Air Force, recently joined the Sumner Police Depart-ment as the Parking Enforcement Officer. Moto-rists and residents may see Lawson wheeling around town in the three-wheeled vehicle especially made for parking patrols. He'll be concentrating mainly on areas with time restrictions on parking, such as downtown streets as well as residential areas near the high school, Daffodil Sports Complex and train depot.

Sumner Police Department’s new Parking Enforcement Officer will patrol in this new threewheeled vehicle.
Lt. Wes Tucker says prior to Lawson's arrival, it was up to regular patrol officers to enforce parking restrictions, and that became difficult as other job demands increased. The Parking Enforcement Officer is a part-time position, but Lawson will work varied hours seven days a week. Lt. Tucker says besides enforcing the parking restrictions around the City, the Parking Enforcement Officer will provide more follow-up on parking infractions to ensure payment of fines. Tucker reminds motorists that non-payment of parking tickets can result in the Dept. of Licensing failing to renew drivers licenses when they come up for renewal.
