T

he city’s preliminary biennial budget for 2015-2016 shows little change in spending, with most of the cost increases due to pay raises for city staff offset by the completion of major capital projects.

The budget also places a renewed focus on replenishing emergency reserve

funds, as well as financing a new fire station.

The city budget of $583 million, has a .2 percent increase from the 2013-2014 budget of approximately $581.8 million The nine percent increase in spending among the general fund, $194 million compared to $178 million in the previous budget, is offset by a drop in spending for non-operating funds,

which decreased by 22 percent from approximately $146.7 million to $114 million.

Director of Finance Tracey Dunlap said this decrease in spending is the result of the completing of the Kirkland Justice Center and the Totem Lake culvert.

The proposed budget shifts spending toward funding a new fire station, as well as replenishing emergency

reserve funds. The Kirkland Justice Center, which houses the Kirkland Police Department and Kirkland Municipal Court, was completed earlier this year. The debt on Kirkland Justice Center is $35.3 million in 30 year bonds, with debt service running through 2040.

The budget also includes $3 million to help pay for a new fire station that

Council to consider options for fire station Correction: In a previous article the Reporter stated that the city had chosen the dual station option and narrowed possible sites to two properties. In fact, the City Council has expressed its support for a dual station provided that an appropriate site is identified and it will be considering several sites at its Nov. 18 meeting.

The article also mentioned the first site would cost $6.7

million to purchase, while the second site would cost approximately $7.8 million.

These figures represented the estimated cost to purchase and develop the property, as well as construct the station, albeit the city has only an estimate of the purchase price.

These figures did not include design, engineering, permitting and other “soft costs.”

The Kirkland City Council will consider two possible options and several possible sites for a new fire station at its Nov. 18 meeting. The new station would either replace Fire Station 24 or replace both Station 24 and 25, depending on

which option the council chooses.

The first option is to consolidate both fire stations into one.

The other option would construct a new building for Station 24 and leave Station 25, located at 12033 76th Pl NE, as is, redeploying existing [ more FIRE page 2 ]

At the moment, Station 24 is run by volunteer emergency medical technicians between 7 p.m. and 5:30 a.m.

In 2004, King County Fire District 41 first started planning on a consolidation project to combine the two fire stations. The fire district initially looked into placing the fire station in Big Finn Hill Park, but the possible move sparked a

and was opposed by the then Denny Creek Neighborhood Association.

After the annexation, the city looked into 20 possible sites to place the consolidated station, but later suspended the process in order to wait for the findings in the 2013 Fire Strategic Plan. The plan, according to a July 2014 city memo, noted several response time gaps, particularly in North Finn Hill.

would replace Fire Station 24, which is currently run by volunteers. There is $5.2 million in debt and cash reserves that were set aside for the project by the former King County Fire District No. 41.

Though Kirkland Parkplace’s new owners recently announced plans for redevelopment, it will probably be until the 2020-2021 budget before any major changes would show up in revenue, Dunlap said.

filled by 2018, which can be used to help fill the budget gap if revenue does not increase.

“One of the reasons there’s such a focus on replenishing the reserves is that it offers us some hedge against global economic activity,” Dunlap said. “The big concerns really lies in the global economy where it’s outside our control. It’s another reason why we’re being reasonably conservative.”

Last year, the city brought in $16.6 million in sales tax revenue, finally surpassing the $16.5 million in 2007 before the Great Recession, albeit the 2013 figure reflects the 2011 annexation of Finn Hill, North Juanita, and Kingsgate, which nearly doubled the city’s population from 48,000 to 80,000.

Property tax and retail sales tax are expected to be the two most significant sources of revenue for the city’s budget at $35 million and $36 million respectively. Retail sales tax revenue is predicted to increase by 20 percent from the previous biennium budget.

Legally, the city is required to have a balanced budget, which is made every two years. The city currently maintains a AAA credit rating by Standard and Poors.

The budget was presented to the council during a study session Oct. 30. The council held a public hearing on it Nov. 3. The final changes, if any, will be made to the budget at its Nov. 18 meeting before it is adopted Dec. 9.

City moves to deny Potala Village appeal to State Supreme Court but had not filed for a building permit application. The City Council eventually passed new zoning regulations placing a maximum limit on the number of units per acre allowed in business neighborhood zoning. The city’s request also claims that Dargey later admitted during a meeting with city officials that he “purposely chose not to file a building permit application before the moratorium was enacted due to how expensive it would be to prepare; in addition to future expenses he could

incur due to changes to the permit that could be required as a result of environment or shoreline review.”

Attorneys for Dargey filed a petition to the Supreme Court in October, in which they argued that a shoreline permit is all that is necessary to have vested rights, because it is “the most environmentally protective regulation and takes into account all applicable zoning and land use regulations.”

The Potala Village petition also claims the Court of Appeals ruling con-

he city of Kirkland has filed a request to the State Supreme Court to deny Potala Village’s appeal of a ruling by the Court of Appeals, which sided with the city.

The continued legal motions between the city and developer have centered on whether or not the approval of a shoreline development permit gives a developer vested rights to their property. It also has focused on whether the city prevented the developer from filing a building permit application. In its ruling, the Court of Appeals concluded the building permit was necessary to have vested rights and that Potala Village failed to cite any law preventing them from filing a building permit application before the moratorium.

Potala Village attorneys are claiming they did not file for a building permit application because the city informed them that they would not have accepted it at the time, when there was a moratorium in effect.

However, the city is

claiming in their response that they told Potala Village owner Lobsang Dargey when he submitted a shoreline development permit that he could also apply for a building permit. He did not do so, the city claims, until after the city had imposed a moratorium on development when a permit could be not be processed.

Before the November 2011 moratorium, Potala Village had submitted a completed shoreline substantial development permit, which the city approved in January 2013,

When women live without fear, our society benefits

I

am the father of 6-year-old twins. My wife, Colleen, and I want to raise a son who respects women, and a daughter who lives in a world where she is respected and free from violence.

In September 2014, NFL football star Ray Rice’s assault on his then-fiancée, captured on video, received significant media attention and brought to national awareness the unfortunate prevalence of domestic violence in our society.

The statistics are sobering. An estimated one-in-four women experience rape, physical assault or stalking in the context of a relationship or a date.

The Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence reports that 35 people were killed in Washington state last year as a result of domestic violence. Overwhelmingly, these tragedies are the result of men’s violence against women. They include the woman strangled and beaten by her boyfriend and the mother murdered by her daughter’s ex-boyfriend. These are our mothers, sisters, daughters and friends.

When violence against women makes the headlines, people often ask: “Why does she stay?” But this question wrongly places the burden on the victim. It is time to stop asking “why does she stay?” and instead ask “why is he violent?”

OPINION

[4] November 7, 2014

You said it!

We’ve always enjoyed reading the local news in the Kirkland Reporter. Yet, I have been increasingly disturbed by the distribution of outright warfare hardware (crossbows, tactical rifles and revolvers) advertised in Cabela’s - an insert to your newspaper. I’m particularly disturbed by the timing of this week’s distribution.

I can understand what is happening here there’s now only about 15-20 percent or 8-10 pages of news and the other 80 percent is advertising - with more and more inserts filling our re-cycling bin weekly. Like all traditional newspapers, digital medium has almost completely taken over your business model traditional ads (flyers, inserts) are probably the only way to stay afloat. I get it. Yet, I wish you ran a story on the merits of voting yes on I-594 to tighten the laws around gun trading, background checks etc, to balance this message. The promotion of this arsenal just one week following Marysville Pilchuck High School shooting last week is, frankly, in poor taste. I’ll be campaigning directly Cabela’s to fight against such publicity and try and stem the opportunity for more massacres, but please do your part and look to another partner to subsidize your newspaper - please.

City should drop plastic bag ban ordinance The city should build on existing plasticbag recycling efforts, instead of enacting an intrusive and ineffective bag ban that takes money from our wallets, hurts our local merchants and lowers Kirkland’s tax revenue when people shop elsewhere.

The proposed ordinance purports to ban “single use” plastic bags, but we know from everyday experience this is a misnomer. We reuse plastic bags for a variety of other purposes like taking lunches to work, as trash can liners and for cleaning up after our pets every day. If these plastic bags are no longer available, we’ll be forced to purchase other more expensive plastic bags off-the-shelf for these purposes.

This isn’t the time to increase grocery bills.

The elderly, disabled, the poor and working people - heck, everyone - we’re all counting every penny. I also count on carrying several bags at once waiting for the bus in the rain so I don’t have to make multiple trips; you can’t do that with paper bags and I don’t preplan every purchase or have enough reusable bags with me.

Kirkland is a small city and this costly ordinance puts the city’s merchants (and the city’s coffers) at a disadvantage with competitors just over the city boundaries, in terms of price and convenience. As others have said here, as a matter of principle, many will

choose to shop in Redmond, Bellevue and anywhere else that believes citizens possess good sense and care about protecting the environment.

City staff and some Council members argue this proposal is an effort to protect the environment. This space is too small to consider all the other measures that would result in far more significant positive impacts. So where does our City Council plan to stop regulating? A better solution would be to continue to educate the public about the importance of recycling and promote reusable bags.

Just please don’t send me another cheap and ugly city of Kirkland tote bag paid for with our taxes. Those bags have environmental impacts, too.

Margie Hanson, Kirkland

Time to raise the state minimum wage Most of us could not survive on $9.47 an hour. That’s next year’s state minimum wage.

It may be the highest in the country, but it’s still not enough for workers to support themselves, afford the basics and contribute to the economy. Many workers are paid so poorly that those of us who do pay taxes support a corporate welfare system which dumps minimum wage earners into emergency rooms for health care and using food stamps for groceries. Raising wages is good for workers striving for a better future. It’s also good for our economy. Folks with extra cash become customers for more businesses. It’s time to raise wages to a livable amount, help workers in Bothell, along with our whole state.

Man crashes through school fence during police chase

A

n early morning police chase Oct. 29 by Kirkland Police ended in the arrest of an 18-year-old man - but not before he drove a stolen pickup truck through the fence at John Muir Elementary School.

He has been arrested for possession of stolen property and felony eluding of police officers.

The driver was first pulled over at around 12:30 a.m. during a traffic stop.

The officer did a routine license plate check on the truck and discovered it had been reported stolen.

Before officers could apprehend the suspect, he drove off.

During the short pursuit, the suspect crashed through the fence at the elementary school

located at 14012 132nd Ave NE, as well as several interior fences near the playground, according to Kirkland Police Department spokesperson Lt. Mike Murray The suspect eventually got back on the roadway and was chased up 132nd Avenue Northeast, where he got the truck trapped in mud and berry bushes.

Another officer attempted to drive down toward him but also got struck.

(425) 947-2726

Officers found the pickup truck empty and brought out a K9 unit, which located the suspect several minutes later.

He was arrested and booked into the Kirkland Justice Center Jail.

The cost in damages to the school has yet to be determined. Murray said the suspect will eventually be charged for damaging school property once the extent of the damage has been determined.

the best way to care for our neighbors is to be in the neighborhood.

Kirkland lacrosse program growing, splits into two

programs are restricted by the Washington State Lacrosse Board until they are tied to a high school.

“We have been growing and growing sneaking up to that threshold and last year it became clear it was the last year we would be able to remain a single entity,” Bernstein said. “We tried to prepare and align ourselves as best we could, and now we’re back to start up mode and trying to regrow the program again.”

An immediate effect of the split is a downgrade in their division level from one to two, according to Bernstein. The Lake Washington Lacrosse program hopes to replenish its numbers, however, with a goal of two teams per age group and roughly 150 athletes total. For Juanita, Lytle is hoping to get 250 athletes on the roster.

“The team becomes less competitive, because it lost half its size and players,” Bernstein said. “So that’s a challenge.”

Lytle said, “It’s a combination of wanting to get enough kids that the club is financially viable and then the other piece is that the

uanita High School and Lake Washington High School are finally getting their own lacrosse clubs.

Starting this season, lacrosse players with the Kirkland Lacrosse program will play for Lake Washington Lacrosse or Juanita Lacrosse, with high schoolers fed into the respective programs.

The split is only one of many that have occurred in the last 10 years, according to Charlie Bernstein who helps run Lake Washington Lacrosse with head varsity coach Dejon Hush. For years, lacrosse players in the Kirkland area played for Eastside Lacrosse along with youth from Redmond, Bothell, Inglemoor, Woodinville, Eastlake and Sammamish.

Eventually, they played with Redmond Lacrosse after it splintered off into its own program, and then finally Kirkland Lacrosse when it split off from Redmond Lacrosse. From there, it continued to grow, according to founder Steve Lytle, who is now the program director and varsity head coach for Juanita Lacrosse. Starting out with 40 kids, the program ended with 240 prior to the split.

“This is sort of the inevitable last split to get us to this point,” he said. “It’s like growing a small business. It’s more like whack-a-mole. You go to the next problem. Initially, it’s ‘Can we get enough players?’ We quickly figured out that kids is not the hard part. There’s plenty that want to play.”

By 2011, it became difficult to find available fields to practice and hold games. At one point they were circulating through eight separate fields, according to Bernstein. Even then, few of them were turf fields, making them susceptible to poor weather.

For the first part of the season, Lytle said, turf fields are essentially required.

“You can’t play on grass as well,” he said. “Our kids start playing in the middle of February and the grass fields aren’t open until March …

It depends on the year, but pretty reliably in February the grass is saturated with water. Playing on them is almost impossible. You’ll destroy the field.”

The program also struggled to find available high school fields to rent.

Lacrosse is not recognized by the Washington Interscholastic Athletics Association (WIAA) and therefore not included as a varsity sport at either Lake Washington or Juanita High School, albeit the school district has the authority to designate it as a varsity sport.

“There’s just so many types of groups looking for field space,” Bernstein said. “We knew we had a field problem from accessibility point, so we asked, ‘there anyplace we could find a field to partner with the county, the city and the community on?’”

The program was eventually able to build a turf field in Big Finn Hill Park in early 2013. Though it is their primary field, Bernstein said they still have to rent out other fields in order to accommodate their growing numbers, and there was never any doubt as to whether or not a split in the program would occur.

“What’s happened is it’s growing at such rapid rates its spawning off more teams,” he said. “This is something, we knew, that this day was going to happen. It was a matter of when.”

families ultimately want to be involved with a team that is competitive … that is well run and has good coaching and the kids can go in a game that is close.”

A new challenge for the programs will be handling the additional costs per athlete, as they will have to pay for more coaches, uniforms, equipment and field rentals.

“There’s more strain on the program from a finan-

said. “We have the same amount of costs, but less players in it. That fixed cost is the same regardless of how many kids we had in the program. We’re trying to do everything we can to keep the dues for the families as low as possible.”

The growth has been so exponentially, in fact, that the program has had a challenging finding coaches in the area, Bernstein said.

...obituaries

“The sport’s so new, it’s not little league baseball where you can usually find something who knows how to catch and throw,” he said. “Because there’s not much DNA of lacrosse in the Northwest, as we grew the program there was a challenge on how to find quality coaches. we still have that challenge today, but we have a fantastic head coach and program director.”

Despite the temporary problems, Bernstein sees them as growing pains for the programs that is

gaining in popularity in the state, as well as the country.

“It’s been a very big success from a growth stand point,” he said. “For the most part, it’s been very well embraced.”

Lytle, who grew up playing with Eastside Lacrosse, said they are now concentrating on replenishing their numbers.

“The focus is on redoubling our efforts to get out there and tell families about lacrosse, getting them to come and try it,” he said.

Tom was born and raised in Kirkland. He attended Holy Family grade school and Jr. High and graduated from Seattle Preparatory. Having spent a year as an exchange student, Tom developed a love of the Spanish language and traveled extensively throughout South America.

After college, Tom worked many years developing a sports surface that is used on running tracks and is being installed in hospitals and various institutions. Ever the entrepreneur, he founded the company SA-Tech and holds several patents. Tom was granted a full scholarship to the Univ. of WA and went on to receive a master’s in business finance. Tom frequently worked as an interpreter for those seeking financial aid.

Tom will be remembered for his innate understanding and empathy towards the struggles of others. He would give anything needed to those he was close to and spent countless hours fixing computers for family and friends. Tom loved research and knowledge and would pour himself into whatever difficulty his loved ones were experiencing; talking, encouraging, coming over at any hour, making himself versed in the situation.

Tom is survived by his daughter, Jennifer Vaux, parents James and Helen Vaux, his brother, Jim Vaux, sisters: Katie Tormey, Teresa Vaux-Michel, Suzie Fahling, a multitude of nieces and nephews, and three great nieces.

May his memory be eternal. Service and Mass to be held at Holy Family Catholic Church, Kirkland, November 7 at 11:00.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to be made in memory of Tom, to Holy Family Church.

Firewood, Fuel & Stoves

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.

When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.

The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet.

Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.

To m a k e a f i r e w o o d complaint, call 360-9021857. agr.wa.gov/inspection/ WeightsMeasures/Fire woodinformation.aspx agr.wa.gov/inspection/WeightsMeasures/Firewoodinformation.aspx

Construction digest Northeast 85th Street

After a week devoted to Northeast 85th Street’s stormwater system, Johansen Excavating’s night crews resume water main installation Monday night near the street’s intersection with 126th Avenue Northeast.

Johansen will continue installing water main for at least two more weeks.

In the last two weeks, the contractor built six of the stormwater system’s 39 catch basins and installed a quarter of the stormwater system’s 1,300 feet of pipe. Most of

that work occurred near the 124th Avenue Northeast intersection. But Johansen’s crews also worked near the 120th Avenue Northeast intersection. Johansen could resume work on the stormwater system as early as late November and as late as early January.

Northeast 120th Street

Kirkland’s Northeast 120th Street extension contractor is quickly completing the last remaining tasks on the 850-foot connector of 124th Avenue Northeast and Slater Avenue Northeast. Subcontractors this week are turning on the traffic signal

at Slater Avenue Northeast and Northeast 120th Street.

Last week, they striped travel and bike lanes, affixed traffic cameras and adjusted signal timing. Crews also continued mounting hand-rails to the retaining wall at the street’s east end. Project Engineer Aparna Khanal says the road will be complete by Nov. 19. That’s the date residents, business managers and regional leaders will be celebrating the road’s completion. The celebration begins at 10 a.m.
