Background Summary:
This is a 2020 year end summary of the City’s Arterial/Collector and Local Street Pavement
Preservation Programs. This year’s summary is presented in a dashboard format that will also
be incorporated into the City’s webpage. This dashboard provides the public with a quick look
at the overall condition of the City’s roadways and preservation program activities. It also
gives City policy makers a quick executive overview in order to help facilitate policy and
funding decisions. Additional information is also available on the City’s website that provides a
more in depth explanation of the City’s street preservation programs including program
history, projects, funding, and technical considerations.

2020 STATE OF OUR STREETS DASHBOARD
Overall Assessment: The paving projects completed in 2020 improved approximately 6.7 equivalent
lane miles of roadway. Despite the impact of those projects, the overall condition of streets in the city
degraded slightly from 2019 to 2020. The last physical inspection for pavement condition was
performed in the summer of 2019. 2020 PCI values have been estimated by applying approximated
deterioration rates, derived using actual historical condition data from past pavement condition
surveys, and accounting for actual improvements from completed projects. The next physical
inspection will take place this summer (summer 2021) and the pavement ratings and the predictive
deterioration rates adjusted accordingly. Pavement projects for 2021 will improve another estimated
15 equivalent lane miles of road. Additional projects through 2024 are in varied stages of planning
and design. Accounting for the predicted impact of these current and upcoming projects, modeling
indicates a slow decline of the overall average roadway PCI over the coming years at the current
anticipated funding amounts. The data suggests that additional funding is needed to prevent overall
roadway conditions from declining further and to get the roadways back to the overall 70 PCI target
and keep it there.
Page 4 of 109
2020 STATE OF OUR STREETS DASHBOARD
Arterial and Collector Streets
Arterial and collector streets make up just over half of the total
equivalent lane miles of roadways throughout the City. There
are approximately 92 lane miles of collector streets that
together have an overall average PCI of 64 (compared to 68 in
2019). There are roughly 224 lane miles of arterial streets that
together have an overall average PCI of 59 (compared to 62 in
2019). The average condition rating for arterial and collector
streets combined is 61 (compared to 63 in 2019). The average
PCI for collector and arterials has been hovering around 60
since about 2015. This indicates that re-building and
preservation efforts have been relatively successful at
maintaining the status quo but are not yet sufficient to reach
the target of 70 PCI. Over the next five years an estimated 60
lane miles of road are expected to deteriorate beyond the point where preservation treatments can
restore them and they would require a more expensive full re-build. Based on the current funding
levels shown in the City’s Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) and anticipated grant funding,
there is only funding available to preserve approximately 15 lane miles. This leaves approximately 45
lane miles of arterial and collector road that will deteriorate past the point for preservation treatments
These roadways will eventually require reconstruction at a cost that is over 4 times higher than
preservation treatments. Simulations indicate that approximately $5 million per year for 15 years
would be required to bring the overall PCI for arterials and collectors up to an average of 70 PCI.
Funding Note: The arterial and collector
preservation programs rely heavily on grant
funding. Currently, no grant funding has
been secured beyond 2024. Additionally,
arterial streets are further classified as either
principal or minor arterials. Typically,
principal arterials are much more competitive
in grant applications than minor arterials. As
a result of this, principal arterials are in an
overall better condition (63 PCI) than minor
arterials (57 PCI). The city anticipates that
many of the remaining streets that require
preservation treatments now will not compete
well for future grant funding. Over time it is
likely that it will become increasingly difficult
to depend on grant funding and additional
funding sources would be needed.
The planned 2021 and 2022 projects also include rebuilds of 2 streets (4th Street SE and 2nd Street
SE), which is we see a predicted decline in the PCI despite the funding level in 2022 being higher.
This is due to the greater expense of rebuilding streets rather than preserving them.
Page 5 of 109
2020 STATE OF OUR STREETS DASHBOARD
Local Streets
There are currently approximately 314 equivalent lane miles of
local streets in the city, which is 1 more lane mile than in 2019
due to new roads constructed by development activity. Local
streets have an overall average PCI of 75 (compared to 77 in
2019). Despite the City’s target of 70 PCI being achieved there
are still many local roads in need of repair and replacement.
Roughly 69% of local roads are in good condition, 27% are in
fair condition, and 4% are in need of a full re-build. Since
2015, the overall average PCI for local streets has increased
from 69, due to the City’s preservation and re-building projects
as well as the addition of new local roads from development
activity.
Funding Note: From 2013 to 2019, the local streets program was funded by new construction sales
tax. Since 2019 the program has been spending down the fund balance, with some supplemental
funding from Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) funds. The program has been funded at $1.65M per
year with the current biennial budget, but at
this time no sustainable funding source has
been identified beyond 2022. Simulations
indicate that maintaining current funding
levels results in the average PCI holding
stable in the low 70’s (assuming no other
changes), but dropping below 70 in 10 years.
If a sustainable funding source is not
identified for 2023 and beyond, it is predicted
that the average PCI for local streets will drop
to the low 40’s by 2040. Changes that may
impact the average PCI (to be higher or lower
than currently forecasted) include more or
less of the development and utility work that
build new roadways and restore existing
roadways and refinement of the parameters
used to predict PCI values based on
additional data being collected.

PCI Further Explained:
Pavement Condition Index (PCI) is a 0 to 100 score that reflects the overall condition of roadway
pavement and what types and degrees of maintenance and repair (or preservation activities) are
needed to maximize the pavement's overall service life. A PCI of 100 is brand new pavement and a
PCI of 0 is a roadway where the pavement has turned into gravel and dirt. The most efficient
approach towards prolonging the life of a roadway is to keep the PCI at 70 or above (considered to be
"good condition") for as long as possible. This is achieved through good pavement design and
periodic light maintenance activities like patching and crack sealing. Once the PCI of a roadway has
dropped below 70 (or from "good condition" to "fair condition"), additional patching and replacement
of the top layer of pavement (overlay or grind and overlay) is needed to bring the pavement back into
"good condition" and extend the life of the pavement. Without these pavement preservation efforts,
the PCI continues to decrease and the costs to bring the pavement back into "good condition"
increases. Additionally, as the PCI decreases, more and more potholes form on the roadway which
requires more and more temporary and permanent pothole repairs (by the City's Maintenance and
Operations Street crew). Eventually, without preservation activities, the PCI will drop below 40 and
the roadway is considered to be in "poor condition" and in need of a very expensive full re-build. With
these considerations, the City targets an overall PCI of 70 in order to maximize pavement life and
minimize maintenance and preservation costs. Periodically, the City performs citywide inspections to
determine the pavement condition index (PCI) for each roadway it maintains. The PCI inspections
were completed in 2013, 2017, and most recently in the summer of 2019. The PCI inspection data is
used to plan pavement preservation activities and as a gauge to measure how overall roadway
conditions have, and will, respond to different funding levels and other factors that impact roadway
conditions such as new development, City and non-City utility work in roadways, truck traffic,
pavement design (past and present), and weather conditions.

Background Summary:
Over the last two years several Pierce County elected officials that represent the county,
cities and tribes have convened for the purposes of discussing the benefits of forming a
coalition that can work towards advancing affordable housing objectives in Pierce County.
The Mayor of Auburn has participated in these discussions and has advocated for a concept
that allows municipal governments to pool resources and collectively work together on an
affordable housing crisis that reaches all corners of Pierce County. The Mayor has provided
several short briefings summarizing the progress of this effort during her verbal reports at City
Council meetings.
After two years of collaboration a draft Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) has been
prepared and distributed for review and comment. The transmittal letter that accompanied the
draft IGA was signed by Pierce County elected officials, the Puyallup Tribe, and the Mayors
of Lakewood, Auburn, Puyallup, Gig Harbor, Orting, Fife and Tacoma.
The IGA is similar to the Interlocal Agreement (ILA) that the City of Auburn entered into when
the South King Housing and Homeless Partners (SKHHP) was formed (An IGA and ILA are
synonymous – an ILA is the preferred term for King County and an IGA is the preferred term
for Pierce County). SSHAP has a very similar function, purpose, and organization as
SKHHP.
Similar to the SKHHP ILA, the SSHAP IGA declares that all participants have voting rights,
that all participants share a common objective but are able to pursue different approaches
and methods within their municipality, and that each participant would contribute a relatively
modest annual fee to help cover the costs of this work. Also similar to SKHHP, a future
resolution will be prepared and presented for City Council consideration in June which would
authorize the Mayor to sign the IGA.
What would the IGA do if enacted?
Page 22 of 109
1. Establish a common set of housing goals across Pierce County.
2. Establish one municipality as the Administering Agency for SSHAP.
3. Create an Executive Board made up of elected officials representing each participating
municipality.
4. Create an Advisory Board that will help guide SSHAP initiatives and programs.
5. Establish a mechanism for funding housing initiatives and programs, including capital
expenditures to acquire housing.
6. Create a staff position (or positions) that will support the efforts of SSHAP.
7. Establish rules, procedures, voting methods and other operational details defining how
SSHAP will function.

SOUTH SOUND HOUSING AFFORDABILITY PARTNERS
Shaping Pierce County’s Future by Creating Access to Affordable and Attainable Housing
March 26, 2021
Dear Jeff,
As you know, for the past two years we have been working on an exciting initiative to create
more housing that is accessible, affordable, and attainable for all Pierce County resident – the
South Sound Housing Affordability Partners (SSHA3P). We are very pleased to send you a draft
Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) for your city’s review and comment.
The IGA will create a new formal collaboration among Pierce County cities, towns, tribes and
the county to work together on housing issues and projects. We know that housing needs and
solutions vary from one community to the next, so we have worked to create a structure that can
meet the unique needs of each of our communities. The IGA spells out the purpose, proposed
structure, and framework for operating this new collaborative structure.
We want to thank Auburn for working with us to get to this point. As you know, Mayor Backus
has been involved in the meetings and discussions that have shaped this attached draft
agreement.
Our hope is to have governments decide whether they want to participate in SSHA3P (and if so,
approve the intergovernmental agreement) by the end of June of this year so that we can get to
work creating this structure in the second half of 2021. In order to meet that schedule we are
asking all interested governments to provide us with any comments or questions on the
draft IGA by April 23. That will provide enough time to make final changes to the document
and send it back to you for final review and approval.
We are sending a similar letter to all Mayors, Council Chairs/Deputy Mayors/Mayor Pro Tems,
and City Managers, Administrators or Clerks in the county. We will keep you informed about the
reactions we receive from those governments. Based on discussions we’ve been having we are
hopefully that many governments across the county will join SSHA3P.
Please send any comments or questions about the IGA to either Bryan Schmid at
bryan.schmid@piercecountywa.gov or John Howell at john@cedarrivergroup.com.

Intergovernmental Agreement for SSHA3P
South Sound Housing Affordability Partners
(Effective Date: Date of Execution)
This Intergovernmental Agreement ("Agreement") is entered
into by and between the Cities of ??, Pierce County (each municipal
corporations and political subdivisions of the State of
Washington), and the Puyallup Tribe of Indians, a federally-
recognized Indian tribe (the Tribe) Individually each member of
SSHA3P is a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”. This
Agreement relates to the creation and operation of a joint
undertaking among the Parties hereto to be known as the South Sound
Housing Affordability Partners (“SSHA3P”). This Agreement is made
pursuant to the Intergovernmental Cooperation Act, chapter 39.34
RCW, and has been authorized by the legislative body of each
government.
WHEREAS, the recent increases in the cost to purchase or rent
housing in Pierce County has resulted in more than one-third of
all households in the county considered cost-burdened, paying more
than 30% of their income for housing costs; and
WHEREAS, in the past decade increases in Pierce County median
home sales prices (108%) and rental rates (78%) have dramatically
outpaced the increases in median household incomes (10%); and
WHEREAS, the recent global pandemic has placed new pressures
on the housing market, with the economic downtown resulting in
many households unable to afford rent or mortgage payments,
anticipated increases in the number of evictions and foreclosures
(including among those small rental property owners who have not
been receiving rental payments), and at the same time increased
demand for purchasing homes due to historically low interest rates
and the large increase in the number of those now working remotely;
and
WHEREAS, the Parties have a common goal to ensure the
availability of housing that meets the needs of residents and
workers at all income levels in Pierce County; and
WHEREAS, the Parties share a common goal to eliminate housing
inequities for all races, ethnicities and other vulnerable or
marginalized communities and geographic locations in Pierce
County; and
Page 26 of 109
SSHAP Intergovernmental Agreement DRAFT March 25, 2021
2
WHEREAS, the Parties wish to provide a sound base of housing
policies and programs in Pierce County and to complement the
efforts of local governments and existing public and private
organizations to address housing needs in Pierce County; and
WHEREAS, the Parties wish to act cooperatively to formulate
policies that create access to affordable/attainable housing
policies and strategies that address housing stability, ensure an
ample housing supply that remains affordable for all income levels,
provide incentives for affordable/attainable housing for lower and
middle income households, foster efforts to preserve and provide
access to affordable/attainable housing by combining public
funding with private-sector resources, and support implementation
of the goals of the Washington State (the “State”) Growth
Management Act, related countywide planning policies, and other
local policies and programs relating to providing access to
affordable and attainable housing, and to do so efficiently and
expeditiously; and
WHEREAS, the Parties have determined that the most efficient
and effective way for the Parties to address access to affordable
and attainable housing needs in Pierce County is through
cooperative action and pooling their resources to create a larger
scale of activities than any one Party could accomplish on their
own, achieve economies of scale, and leverage other public and
private resources; and
WHEREAS, the intent of this cooperative undertaking is not to
duplicate efforts of non-profit corporations and other entities
already providing affordable/attainable-housing-related services;
and
WHEREAS, a cooperative work plan with a primary focus on the
production and preservation of affordable/attainable housing, is
needed because the lack of access to affordable/attainable housing
is one of the key contributors to homelessness;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises,
benefits and covenants contained in this Agreement and other
valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is acknowledged,
the Parties agree to the above Recitals and the following terms
and conditions:
1. DEFINITIONS. The following terms used in this Agreement
are defined as follows:

Agency on behalf of that Party, during the time the withdrawing
Party was a member of SSHA3P. A notice of withdrawal may be revoked

to the effective date of its withdrawal, except the budget and
work plan for the following year.
13. BUDGET. The fiscal year for SSHA3P will be January 1 to
December 31 of any year. The first year budget and anticipated
second year budget for SSHA3P are attached to this Agreement as
Exhibit B and incorporated herein by this reference. Approval of
this Agreement by the legislative body of each Party includes
approval of the SSHA3P budgets through the first full term of the
agreement. For subsequent years, on or before July 1st of each
year, a recommended operating budget for SSHA3P for the following
budget year will be prepared, reviewed and recommended by the
Executive Board and transmitted to each Party. The recommended
operating budget will contain an itemization of all categories of
budgeted expenses and will contain an itemization of the amount of
each Party's contribution, including in-kind services, toward that
budget. Contributions to the SSHA3P annual budget may also come
from other public or private entities. The Executive Board will
approve acceptance of those contributions.
a. No recommended budget will become effective until
approved by the legislative body of each Party and adopted by the
Executive Board, except for SSHA3P’s first full term (2021, 2022
and 2023). Once the legislative body of each Party has approved
its contribution to SSHA3P, either separately or through its budget
process, and the SSHA3P budget has been adopted by the Executive
Board, each Party will be obligated to make whatever
contribution(s) is budgeted for that Party. If a Party does not
approve the budget in a timely manner, the Executive Board may
adopt the annual budget and work plan with a two-thirds majority
vote.
Page 39 of 109

b. Each Party’s contribution(s) will be transmitted to
SSHA3P on an annual basis no later than the end of the first quarter
of each calendar year, unless otherwise provided in the budget

Operating Account, as well as the amount, if any, to be deposited
into the Party’s Individual Account within the SSHA3P Housing
Capital Funds Account established by Section 14.
c. If any Party is delinquent by more than three months
in the payment of its approved operating budget contribution to
the SSHA3P Operating Account, that Party will not be entitled to
vote on matters before the Executive Board until the delinquency
has been paid. A Party’s decision not to contribute funds to its
Individual Account, or its delinquency in funding the same will
not affect that Party’s voting rights on the Executive Board.
14. HOUSING CAPITAL FUNDS ACCOUNT ESTABLISHED; PROCEDURES
FOR ADMINISTERING HOUSING CAPITAL FUNDS ACCOUNT CONTRIBUTIONS. If
authorized by resolution of the Executive Board, the Administering
Agency may establish and maintain an account within the SSHA3P Fund
for the purpose of administering the contributions of Parties, or
other public or private entities, to affordable/attainable housing
projects and programs, to be known as the SSHA3P Housing Capital
Funds Account. The amounts in the Housing Capital Funds Account
will be held and disbursed by the Administering Agency as described
in this Agreement.
a. Within the Housing Capital Funds Account, a sub-
account will be established for each Party to this Agreement that
chooses to contribute to the Housing Capital Funds Account. Such
sub-accounts are collectively referred to as the “Individual
Accounts.” Contributions to an Individual Account from a Party may
be released only upon, and in accordance with, the written
direction of that Party.
b. A subaccount will be established within each
Individual Account for each project or program funded in whole or
part by a Party from its Individual Account. Such sub-accounts
are referred to as “Project Accounts.”
c. The Administering Agency will maintain records
sufficient to separately track the deposits, withdrawals and
interest earnings, within each Individual Account and each Project
Account, and will provide quarterly reports to all Parties as to
the status of funds in each Individual Account and Project Account.
The Administering Agency’s responsibilities under this Section may
Page 40 of 109
SSHAP Intergovernmental Agreement DRAFT March 25, 2021
16
be delegated to the SSHA3P Executive Manager to the extent
consistent with applicable law and as the Administering Agency and
Executive Board may agree.
d. Funds transmitted to SSHA3P for deposit in the
Housing Capital Funds Account will be held by the Administering
Agency on behalf of SSHA3P until directed for application by the
contributing Party (as described in 14.a. above). Uncommitted
funds in an Individual Account will be remitted to the contributing
Party within 45 days of receipt of written request from the Party
signed by its chief executive officer, or upon the Party’s
withdrawal from SSHA3P in accordance with the terms of Section 12,
or on the dissolution of SSHA3P per Section 11.
e. Funds held by the Administering Agency on behalf of
SSHA3P will be subject to laws applicable to public funds,
including but not limited to limitations on investments for public
funds as provided in State law and the State constitutional
limitations on the gifting of public funds. Investment earnings
will be credited to each Individual Account and Subaccount on a
pro rata basis.
f. The Executive Board will develop standard forms of
approvals and agreements to be used in the application of funds
contributed to the Housing Capital Funds Account (collectively
referred to as “project financing documents”), consistent with the
following goals and procedures:
i. The SSHA3P Executive Board will authorize the
application of specified amounts of Individual
Account monies to projects or programs consistent
with the purpose of the SSHA3P Capital Fund, and
will authorize and direct the SSHA3P Executive
Manager, and the Administering Agency to take such
actions as necessary to accomplish this. At least
two weeks prior to the Executive Board action they
will notify the individual parties whose funds will
be used for such projects or programs of the various
terms to accompany their authorizations, and will
at a minimum include terms related to:
1. amount of funds allocated;
2. project description, including minimum
affordability requirements, if any;
3. nature of the funding commitment (loan, grant,
or other);
4. in the event the funding commitment is provided
as a loan, the general repayment terms including
Page 41 of 109
SSHAP Intergovernmental Agreement DRAFT March 25, 2021
17
but not limited to the term of the loan and
applicable, interest rate(s); and
5. a general description of the security interests,
if any, to be recorded in favor of the Party.
ii. For each individual housing project or program to
be funded through the Housing Capital Funds
Account, the developer, owner or administrator of
such project or program (generally referred to as
the “developer”), will enter into the necessary set
of agreements (project financing documents) with
the Administering Agency. The project financing
documents will specify that the Administering
Agency is acting as administering agency on behalf
of each Party that is providing Housing Capital
Funds Account funding to the project or program
pursuant to this Agreement and RCW 39.34.030(4),
and will identify each participating funding Party.
The project financing documents will be consistent
with general forms of agreement approved by the
Executive Board and the terms and conditions
approved by the legislative bodies of the funding
Parties. To the extent permitted by law, the
project financing agreements will incorporate all
terms and conditions relative to the use and (if
applicable) repayment of such funds, and provide
for transfer of the Housing Capital Funds Account
monies from the funding Parties to the developer.
iii. Funding contributions to, and repayments (if any)
from, specific projects and programs will be
recorded by the Administering Agency, including
recording of monies deposited and withdrawn from
each Party’s Individual Account and Project
Accounts. Repayments (if any) under any project
financing agreement will be applied pro rata to the
funding Parties’ Individual Accounts based on the
ratio of funding contributed to the project by each
Party, unless the funding Parties otherwise agree.
iv. Unless the Parties funding a project or program
through the Housing Capital Funds Account otherwise
agree, a default, termination or other action
against a developer or other third party may be
declared only after securing approval in writing of
the chief executive officers of funding Parties
which together have contributed not less than 51%
Page 42 of 109
SSHAP Intergovernmental Agreement DRAFT March 25, 2021
18
of the total SSHA3P member funding to the project.
The Administering Agency will provide reasonable
notice and information regarding the status of
projects as necessary to each funding Party’s chief
executive officer to allow them to make a timely
decision in this regard. Funding Parties not
consenting to such default, termination or other
action will be bound by the decision of the
majority. All funding Parties will be obligated on
a pro rata basis (based on their contributions to
the project) to pay to the Administering Agency its
reasonable costs and expenses incurred as a result
of declaring a default, terminating an agreement or
taking other action against a developer or other
third party. Any funds recovered through such
enforcement proceedings will be allocated to the
funding Parties Individual Accounts pro rata based
on their respective funding contributions to a
project.
v. The Executive Board may from time to time authorize
the Administering Agency to administer housing
project agreements entered into before the
effective date of this Agreement, upon terms
consistent with this Agreement and subject to the
consent of the Administering Agency and the Parties
to such agreements.
15. DUES, ASSESSMENTS AND BUDGET AMENDMENTS. Contributions
to the SSHA3P Operating fund will be based on groupings of like-
sized cities (based on population), or whatever contribution
methodology is approved by a two-thirds majority of the Executive
Board. Funding for the activities of SSHA3P will be provided solely
through the budgetary process. Unless otherwise specified in this
Agreement, no dues, charges or assessments will be imposed or
required of the Parties except upon unanimous vote of the
membership of the Executive Board and ratification by the
legislative body of each Party subject to the dues, charges or
assessments. An approved budget (the overall revenues and
expenditures) will not be modified until approved by the
legislative body of each Party and finally adopted by the Executive
Board. If a Party agrees to totally fund an additional task to the
work program, not currently approved in the budget, the task may
be added to the work plan and the budget amended to reflect the
funding of the total cost of such task by the requesting Party,
upon approval by a majority of the membership of the Executive
Board without approval by the individual Parties. Notwithstanding
Page 43 of 109
SSHAP Intergovernmental Agreement DRAFT March 25, 2021
19
the foregoing, contributions by a Party to its Individual Account
within the Housing Capital Funds Account will be solely within the
discretion of that Party and are not considered “dues or
assessments.”
16. PUBLIC RECORDS REQUESTS. Records of SSHA3P will be held
by the Administering Agency, in addition to any records the Parties
themselves may retain concerning their participation in SSHA3P.
These records may include meeting agendas, meeting summaries,
reports, plans, budgets, and other documents.
When a Party receives a request for records that may be held by
the Administering Agency, the Party will refer the request to its
own Executive Board member. The Party’s Executive Board member
will then work with the Administering Agency to gather all
responsive records. The Party receiving the request should work
with its own public records staff (if any) to describe the request
with sufficient specificity to allow the Administrative Agency to
identify and provide the records being sought. If any
clarification of the request is required, the Party receiving the
request will obtain that clarification from the requester. All
communication with the requester will be by the Party to whom the
request was submitted.
In consultation with the Administering Agency, it will be the
responsibility of the Party to whom the request for records was
made to estimate the time it will need to produce responsive
records, determine which records are responsive to the request,
and address any redactions permitted by law. The Party that
receives the request will bear the responsibility of complying
with the Public Records Act in relation to its public records.
Nothing in this Section is intended to require a Party to collect
or produce records that are not prepared, owned, used, or retained
by that Party as contemplated by the Public Records Act.
17. INDEMNIFICATION AND HOLD HARMLESS.
a. Each Party will indemnify, defend and hold other
Parties (including without limitation the Party serving as, and
acting in its capacity as, SSHA3P’s Administering Agency), their
officers, officials, agents and volunteers harmless from any and
all claims, injuries, damages, losses or suits including attorney
fees, arising out of that Party’s wrongful acts or omissions in
connection with the performance of its obligations under this
Agreement, except to the extent the injuries or damages are caused
by another Party. If there is any recovery under this Section, the
Page 44 of 109
SSHAP Intergovernmental Agreement DRAFT March 25, 2021
20
Party responsible for any wrongful acts or omissions will pay any
judgment or lien arising from the acts or omissions, including all
costs and other Parties’ reasonable attorney’s fees. If more than
one Party is held to be at fault, the obligation to indemnify and
to pay costs and attorney’s fees, will be only to the extent of
the percentage of fault allocated to each respective Party by a
final judgment of the court.
b. If a court of competent jurisdiction determine that
this Agreement is subject to RCW 4.24.115, then, in the event of
liability for damages arising out of bodily injury to persons or
damages to property caused by or resulting from the concurrent
negligence of a Party (including without limitation the Party
serving as, and acting in its capacity as, SSHA3P’s Administering
Agency), its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers, the
Party’s liability hereunder will be only to the extent of the
Party’s negligence. It is further specifically and expressly
understood that the indemnification provided herein constitutes
the Party’s waiver of immunity under Industrial Insurance Title 51
RCW, solely for the purpose of this indemnification. This waiver
has been mutually negotiated by the Parties. The provisions of
this Section will survive the expiration or termination of this
Agreement.
c. Each Party (including without limitation the Party
serving as, and acting in its capacity as, SSHA3P’s Administering
Agency) will give the other Parties proper notice of any claim or
suit coming within the purview of these indemnities.
18. INSURANCE. The Executive Board, SSHA3P Executive Manager
and the Administering Agency will take such steps as are reasonably
practicable to minimize the liability of the Parties associated
with their participation in this Agreement, including but not
limited to the utilization of sound business practice. The
Executive Board will determine which, if any, insurance policies
may be reasonably practicably acquired to cover the operations of
SSHA3P and the activities of the Parties pursuant to this Agreement
(which may include general liability, errors and omissions,
fiduciary, crime and fidelity insurance), and will direct the
acquisition of same.
19. AMENDMENTS. Any amendments to this Agreement must be in
writing. This Agreement may be amended upon approval of at least
two-thirds of the legislative bodies of all Parties to this
Agreement, evidenced by the authorized signatures of those Parties
as of the effective date of the amendment. However, any amendment
to this Agreement affecting the terms and conditions of membership
Page 45 of 109
SSHAP Intergovernmental Agreement DRAFT March 25, 2021
21
on the Executive Board, powers of the Executive Board, voting
rights of Executive Board members, Party contribution
responsibilities, hold harmless and indemnification requirements,
provisions regarding duration, termination or withdrawal, or the
conditions of this Section will require consent of the legislative
authorities of all Parties. This Section will not be construed to
require amendment of this Agreement for the addition of a new Party
contemplated under Section 20 or for any related revision to
Executive Board membership authorized in Section 5(a) or Advisory
Board membership in Section 8(b). The Executive Board will review
this Agreement, no less than every five years, to determine if any
amendments or modifications are needed.
20. ADDITIONAL PARTIES. Municipalities, local governments,
tribes, and public agencies within the SSHA3P Area of Activity may,
on execution of the Agreement and approval of the budget and work
plan by its legislative body, become a Party to this Agreement on
affirmative vote of at least fifty percent of the Executive Board.
The Executive Board will determine by a vote of at least fifty
percent of its membership what, if any, funding obligations the
additional Party will commit to as a condition of becoming a Party
to this Agreement.
21. SEVERABILITY. The invalidity of any clause, sentence,
paragraph, subdivision, section or portion of this Agreement, will
not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of the
Agreement.
22. CONFLICT RESOLUTION. Whenever any dispute arises between
the Parties or between a Party or Parties, the Executive Board, or
the Administering Agency (referred to collectively in this Section
as the “Parties”) under this Agreement which is not resolved by
routine meetings or communications, the parties agree to seek
resolution of such dispute in good faith by meeting, as soon as
feasible. The meeting will include the Chair of the Executive
Board, the SSHA3P Executive Manager, and the representative(s) of
the Parties involved in the dispute. If the parties do not come
to an agreement on the dispute, any party may pursue mediation
through a process to be mutually agreed to in good faith between
the parties within 30 days, which may include binding or nonbinding
decisions or recommendations. The mediator(s) will be individuals
skilled in the legal and business aspects of the subject matter of
this Agreement. The parties to the dispute will share equally the
costs of mediation and assume their own costs.
23. SURVIVABILITY. Notwithstanding any provision in this
Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of Section 10 (Agreement
Page 46 of 109
SSHAP Intergovernmental Agreement DRAFT March 25, 2021
22
Duration), Section 11 (Termination of Agreement), Section 12
(Withdrawal), Section 16 (Public Records Requests), and Section 17
(Indemnification and Hold Harmless) will remain operative and in
full force and effect, regardless of the withdrawal or termination
of any Party or the termination of this Agreement.
24. WAIVER. No term or provision of this Agreement will be
deemed waived and no breach excused unless that waiver or consent
is in writing and signed by the Party claimed to have waived or
consented.
25. SUBSEQUENT BREACH. Waiver of any default will not be
deemed a waiver of any subsequent default. Waiver of breach of
any provision of this Agreement will not be deemed to be a waiver
of any other or subsequent breach and will not be construed to be
a modification of the terms of the Agreement unless stated to be
such through written approval of all Parties.
26. NOTICE. Any notice to the Executive Board will be in
writing and will be addressed to the Chair of the Executive Board
and to the SSHA3P Executive Manager. In the absence of a SSHA3P
Executive Manager, notice will be given to the chief executive
officer of the Administering Agency. Any notice to an Officer or
Party will be sent, to the address specified by the chief executive
officer of the Party.
27. ASSIGNMENT. No Party may sell, transfer or assign any
of its rights or benefits under this Agreement without Executive
Board approval.
28. APPLICABLE LAW AND VENUE. This Agreement and any rights,
remedies, or obligations provided for in this Agreement will be
governed, construed, and enforced in accordance with the
substantive and procedural laws of the State. The Parties agree
that the venue for any legal action under this Agreement is in the
County in which a project is located, provided that the venue for
any legal action against Pierce County may be filed in accordance
with RCW 36.01.050.
29. RETAINED RESPONSIBILITY AND AUTHORITY. Parties retain
the responsibility and authority for managing and maintaining
their own internal systems and programs related to
affordable/attainable housing activities.
30. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS. Each Party to this Agreement
is an independent contractor with respect to the subject matter of
this Agreement. No joint venture or partnership is formed as a

any responsibility for the payment of any compensation, fees,
wages, benefits or taxes to or on behalf of any other Party’s
employees. No employees or agents of one Party will be deemed, or
represent themselves to be, employees of another Party.
31. NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIERIES. This Agreement is for the

rights under this agreement.

ORDINANCE NO. 6818
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
AUBURN, WASHINGTON, PROTECTING THE HEALTH,
SAFETY, AND PROSPERITY OF GROCERY WORKERS AND
THE GENERAL PUBLIC DURING THE EXISTING STATE OF
EMERGENCY
WHEREAS, this ordinance relates to employment in Auburn; establishing labor
standards requirements for additional compensation for grocery employees working in
Auburn; and
WHEREAS, the new coronavirus 19 (COVID-19) disease is caused by a virus that
spreads easily from person to person and may result in serious illness or death, and is
classified by the World Health Organization as a worldwide pandemic; and
WHEREAS, COVID-19 has broadly spread throughout Washington State and
remains a significant health risk to the community, especially members of our most
vulnerable populations; and
WHEREAS, on January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared
that COVID-19 constituted a public health emergency of international concern, WHO’s
highest level of alarm; and
WHEREAS, on February 29, 2020, Washington Governor Jay Inslee declared a
state of emergency for all counties throughout the state of Washington in response to
new cases of COVID-19; and
WHEREAS, on March 3, 2020, Mayor Nancy Backus proclaimed a civil emergency
in response to new cases of COVID-19, authorizing the Mayor to exercise the emergency
powers necessary to take extraordinary measures to prevent death or injury of persons
Page 59 of 109
Ordinance No. 6818
April 20, 2021
Page 2 of 14
and to protect the public peace, safety and welfare, and alleviate damage, loss, hardship
or suffering; and
WHEREAS, on March 23, 2020, Washington Governor Jay Inslee issued
Proclamation 20-25, a “Stay Home – Stay Healthy” order closing all non-essential
workplaces, requiring people to stay home except to participate in essential activities or
to provide essential business services, and banning all gatherings for social, spiritual, and
recreational purposes. The “Stay Home – Stay Healthy” proclamation identified grocery
employees as “Essential Critical Infrastructure Workers” performing work to protect
communities and ensure continuity of functions critical to public health and safety, as well
as economic and national security; and
WHEREAS, in October 2020, the British Medical Journal, Occupational &
Environmental Medicine, reported that grocery employees face a serious risk of COVID-
19 infection and associated psychological distress. A study of 104 grocery employees at
a grocery store in Boston, Massachusetts found that 20 percent tested positive for
COVID-19 despite 91 percent of employees reporting wearing a face mask at work and
77 percent of employees reporting wearing masks outside of work. The positive rate of
infection among grocery employees was five times as likely for those who interacted with
customers than for those who did not. Additionally, the study found that 76 percent of
employees had no symptoms, suggesting that these employees could be an important
reservoir of asymptomatic infection. Further, 24 of the 99 employees who filled out a
related medical health questionnaire also reported experiencing anxiety, and eight
employees were deemed depressed from their questionnaire answers; and

Ordinance No. 6818
April 20, 2021
Page 3 of 14
WHEREAS, in November 2020, the Brookings Metropolitan Policy Program
reported that the profits of top retail companies, including grocery businesses, soared
during the pandemic while their employees earned low wages and, with few exceptions,
failed to receive consistent or meaningful additional compensation for performing life
threatening work. The report found that the top retail companies in their analysis earned
on average an extra $16.7 billion in profit compared to the previous year – a 40 percent
increase; and
WHEREAS, on January 3, 2021, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) reported
that multiple COVID-19 variants are circulating globally that appear to spread more easily
and quickly than other variations; and
WHEREAS, on January 5, 2021, Governor Jay Inslee announced the “Healthy
Washington – Roadmap to Recovery,” a COVID-19 phased recovery plan; and
WHEREAS, the Brookings Metropolitan Policy Program has reported that the
United States’ top retail companies, including grocery businesses, have generated
record-breaking profits during the pandemic, with the top retail companies accumulating
on average an additional $16.7 billion in profits over the previous year amounting to a
40% increase in profits; and
WHEREAS, grocery employees have been supporting grocery businesses’
operations and facilitating community access to food during the pandemic, despite facing
a clear and present danger of workplace exposure to COVID-19 and receiving limited or
inconsistent additional pay in recognition of this hazard; and
Page 61 of 109
Ordinance No. 6818
April 20, 2021
Page 4 of 14
WHEREAS, the dangers of working during the pandemic are especially significant
for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) employees who are overrepresented
among the retail frontline workforce and who are disproportionately impacted by COVID-
19; and
WHEREAS, establishing a requirement for grocery employees to receive hazard
pay for work performed in Auburn during the COVID-19 emergency will promote job
retention, compensate them for the risks of working on the frontlines of a global pandemic,
improve their financial ability to access resources for protecting themselves and their
families from catching or spreading the virus or coping with illness caused by the virus,
and support the welfare of the greater community that depends on grocery employees for
safe and reliable access to food; and
WHEREAS, recognizing the ongoing threat to frontline grocery employees, several
cities have passed or have announced legislative efforts to require hazard pay of $4 to
$5 per hour for grocery employees during the COVID-19 emergency; and
WHEREAS, establishing a labor standard that requires hazard pay for grocery
employees is a subject of vital and imminent concern to the community and requires
appropriate action by the City Council; and
WHEREAS, studies show that a variant first detected in the United Kingdom (UK)
in September 2020, known as B.1.1.7, is 50 to 70 percent more transmissible than the
previously circulating form of the COVID-19 virus and is responsible for more than half of
new infections in the UK. The B.1.1.7 variant is now prevalent in 40 countries, and cases
in the United States have been identified in nine states: California, Colorado, Connecticut,
Georgia, Florida, Minnesota, New York, Pennsylvania, and Texas; and
Page 62 of 109
Ordinance No. 6818
April 20, 2021
Page 5 of 14
WHEREAS, on April 19, 2021, Public Health – Auburn & King County reported that
the current status is 199.7 positive cases per 100,000 residents; and
WHEREAS, as of April 19, 2021, Public Health – Auburn & King County reported
a total of 6,161 positive cases including 99 deaths in Auburn. The Washington DOH
reported a total of 359,810 positive cases including 5,394 deaths statewide; and
WHEREAS, the Washington DOH reported a total of 198 COVID-19 related
outbreaks in retail settings, including 9 during the week of April 4-10, 2021; and
WHEREAS, the Washington DOH reported a total of 181 COVID-19 related
outbreaks in grocery settings, including 4 during the week of April 4-10, 2021; and
WHEREAS, throughout the entirety of the COVID-19 emergency, grocery
businesses have been operating in Auburn and relying upon the work of grocery
employees who are highly vulnerable to health and safety risks; and
WHEREAS, grocery employees are essential workers performing services that are
fundamental to the economy and health of the community during the COVID-19 crisis.
They face clear and present dangers at their jobs and continue to risk their lives and the
health of their families to keep the community’s food supply chain operating; and
WHEREAS, grocery employees cannot choose to work from home and must come
to work to perform their jobs, which can involve substantial interaction with customers
and/or ventilation systems that could potentially spread the virus. They are wearing
masks, trying as much as possible to social distance, performing safety protocols, and
learning new skills to decrease transmission of the virus to protect themselves and the
public; and
Page 63 of 109
Ordinance No. 6818
April 20, 2021
Page 6 of 14
WHEREAS, the risks of working during the pandemic are especially significant for
BIPOC employees because they are overrepresented among the retail frontline workforce
and are disproportionately impacted by COVID-19. Data shows that people of color are
disproportionately experiencing hospitalization and dying of COVID-19; and
WHEREAS, the CDC reports that Black and Indigenous people, followed by Pacific
Islanders and Latinx people, are disproportionately affected by COVID-19 due to long-
standing inequities in social determinants of health, including overrepresentation in jobs
that require customer contact such as grocery stores; lower incomes and barriers to
wealth accumulation; lack of access to quality healthcare and fair treatment in the
healthcare system; difficulties in finding affordable and quality housing; and inequities in
access to high-quality education. The CDC reports that these determinants may increase
risk of COVID-19 exposure, illness, hospitalization, long-term health and social
consequences, and death. To stop the spread of COVID-19, the CDC states that
resources must be equitably available for everyone to maintain physical and mental
health; and
WHEREAS, Science in the News (SITN), a graduate student group at the Harvard
Graduate School of the Arts and Sciences, reports that it is more difficult for BIPOC
communities to stay safe during the pandemic and notes the importance of keeping these
vulnerable populations in mind as the country slowly reopens the economy. SITN states
that social distancing is a privilege that many people of color cannot afford because they
work and reside in situations with higher risk of exposure to the virus: people of color are
more likely to live in densely populated areas; reside in multigenerational and multifamily
households; and use public transportation. Furthermore, SITN reports that many
Page 64 of 109
Ordinance No. 6818
April 20, 2021
Page 7 of 14
inequalities that pre-dated the pandemic have worsened, including limited access for
Black and Latinx communities to primary care physicians, medical facilities, and COVID
testing; and
WHEREAS, grocery businesses are profiting during the pandemic from the labor
of employees who are working under dangerous conditions; and
WHEREAS, hazard pay, paid in addition to regular wages, is an established type
of additional compensation for employees performing hazardous duties or work involving
physical hardship that can cause extreme physical discomfort and distress; and
WHEREAS, grocery employees working during the COVID-19 emergency merit
hazard pay because they are performing hazardous duty or work involving physical
hardship that can cause extreme physical discomfort and distress due to the significant
risk of exposure to the COVID-19 virus; and
WHEREAS, grocery employees have been working under hazardous conditions
month after month. They are working in these hazardous conditions now and will continue
to face safety risks as the virus presents an ongoing threat, including the threat of more
contagious variants, for an uncertain period; and
WHEREAS, ensuring that grocery employees are compensated for the substantial
risks of working during the COVID-19 emergency promotes retention of these vital
workers. Retention of grocery employees is fundamental to protecting the health of the
community as these employees directly support public purchase of groceries and facilitate
community access to food; and
WHEREAS, this ordinance is immediately necessary in response to the COVID-
19 emergency because the health threats that grocery employees face are as significant
Page 65 of 109
Ordinance No. 6818
April 20, 2021
Page 8 of 14
now as when this crisis began and are growing exponentially as community transmission
is already surging, COVID-19 variants may further increase transmission of the virus and
reduce therapeutic treatments. This is a rapidly evolving situation, with disproportionate
risks and adverse impacts for BIPOC communities, that must be addressed without delay;
and
WHEREAS, grocery employees are necessary to protect the public health because
their work sustains access to groceries; hazard pay is one step to recognize the dangers
facing these employees as they support our community, encourage them to continue their
vital work, and provide them with additional financial resources; and
WHEREAS, an immediate requirement to provide grocery employees with hazard
pay promotes retention of essential workers, improves the financial ability of grocery
employees to access resources they need to stay safe and healthy, and ultimately
supports the greater community that depends on grocery employees for consistent, safe
and reliable access to food; and
WHEREAS, the Washington State Constitution Article XI, Section 11, empowers a
city to “make and enforce within its limits all such local police, sanitary and other
regulations as are not in conflict with general laws”; and
WHEREAS, RCW 35A.11.020 and 050 provide that the general grant of municipal
power conferred to a non-charter code city shall be construed liberally and that such a
city may adopt and enforce ordinances of all kinds appropriate to the good government
of the City; and
WHEREAS, the Auburn City Council finds that this ordinance is consistent with
good government of the City and in the public interest because it seeks to improve grocery

Ordinance No. 6818
April 20, 2021

worker safety, compensation for risk by requiring compliance with the federal, state, and
county health standards, and to pay employees a wage that reflects the risk to the
employees, the employees’ families, acquaintances, and the increased costs to be safe,
to obtain and manage personal protective equipment and other expenses; and
WHEREAS, as the substantive effects of this ordinance are not permanent, this
ordinance is not intended to be codified. Section numbers are for ease of reference within
this ordinance, and section and subsection references refer to numbers in this ordinance
unless stated otherwise.

Section 2. Employee coverage.
For the purposes of this ordinance:

employer at a retail location in Auburn.
B. Time spent by an employee in Auburn solely for the purpose of travelling

Section 4. Hazard pay requirements. Employers shall provide each employee
with hazard pay at a rate of four dollars per hour for each hour worked in Auburn. No
employer shall, as a result of this ordinance going into effect, take steps to reduce
employee compensation so as to prevent, in whole or in part, employees from receiving
hazard pay at a rate of four dollars per hour for each hour worked in Auburn in addition
to those employees’ other compensation. Employers shall maintain records to establish
the reason(s) for any reduction in employee compensation. Employers bear the burden
the proof to show that the additional compensation is hazard pay for the purposes of
working during the COVID-19 emergency.
Section 5. Enforcement power. Grocery employees who find that they have
suffered or been injured physically or financially by a Grocery business by its failure to
comply with this ordinance shall resort to any remedies that apply according to their
employment contract or a collectively bargained agreement. Before resorting to remedies,
Page 70 of 109
Ordinance No. 6818
April 20, 2021
Page 13 of 14
the Grocery employees shall give a supervisor notice of the violation and give the Grocery
business a reasonable time to cure or correct the violation. Violations that do not relate
to compensation shall be “grieved” consistent with the Grocery worker’s employment
contract or an applicable collectively bargained agreement. If no collective bargaining
agreement exists, or if those remedies have been exhausted, consistent with Article XI,
Section 11, in addition to any existing right to pursue equitable or legal remedies, this
ordinance authorizes Grocery employees or a union acting on a Grocery employee’s
behalf to bring an equitable or legal action to enforce or recover unpaid hazard pay in the
superior court of Washington that has jurisdiction.
Section 6. Penalties. For any successful claim by a Grocery employee
against a Grocery business for unpaid hazard pay, the Grocery employee shall be entitled
to recover all unpaid compensation; all attorneys’ fees, court costs, and expenses; and
up to a 50% penalty of the unpaid compensation as a court of competent jurisdiction may
find appropriate.
Section 7. Termination or revocation. This ordinance shall cease to be
effective on December 31, 2021, or when the Governor declares that the Washington
State of Emergency is over, whichever is sooner. The City Council may revoke or
terminate this ordinance as and when it finds appropriate.
Section 8. Implementation. The Mayor is authorized to implement those
administrative procedures necessary to carry out the directives of this legislation.
Section 9. Severability. The provisions of this ordinance are declared to be
separate and severable. The invalidity of any clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision,
section, or portion of this ordinance, or the invalidity of the application of it to any person
Page 71 of 109
Ordinance No. 6818
April 20, 2021
Page 14 of 14
or circumstance, will not affect the validity of the remainder of this ordinance, or the validity
of its application to other persons or circumstances.
Section 10. Effective date. This Ordinance will take effect and be in force five
days from and after its passage, approval, and publication as provided by law.

Background for Motion:
Background Summary:
The purpose of this discussion is to inform the Council and Public of the overall status of the
City’s Capital Project program managed by the Engineering Services Division and to present
the 2021 second quarter feature capital project, the 2nd Street SE Preservation project
(Project No. CP2003). This Project will reconstruct the pavement on 2nd Street SE between
A Street SE and Auburn Way South utilizing Full Depth Reclamation. Full Depth Reclamation
is a specialized paving technique that includes pulverizing and blending the pavement into the
existing subgrade, adding cement as a stabilizer to the blended material and then paving the
top with hot mix asphalt. The project will also replace approximately 450 feet of sanitary sewer
main, construct new curb ramps, replace damaged sections of sidewalk and curb and gutter,
install new LED street lighting, and upgrade drainage infrastructure as needed. Construction
of this project is anticipated to start in June 2021 and be complete in May 2022.
The Capital Project Group of Engineering Services is currently managing 38 projects, valued
at approximately $63 million in total project costs.
