Councilmember Peloza proposed adding rebuiiding of 4th Street SE
between M Street and Aubum Way South to the TIP at the 2019-2020
time period. Assistant Director/City Engineer Gaub stated if the 4fh Street
SE project was added to fhe TIP, other projects will need to be removed.
Assistant Director/City Engineer Gaub explained 4th Street SE is an
arterial roadway and will need to be funded through the Artedal
Preservation Fund. I n 2019, the arterial preservation funds are allocated
to grant funded projects that are already in design phase.
Mayor Backus stated arterial preservation funds are directed to streets that
have not failed, because it is less expensive to maintain and preserve
those streets. Mayor Backus stafed 4th Street SE will require total
reconstruction.
Assistant Director/City Engineer Gaub stated it would take several years of
funding from the Arterial Preservation Fund to fund the 4th Street SE
Project. She noted other streets, such as 2nd Street SE between A
Street SE and Aubum Way South is in similar condition. The City is at a
PCI rating of 66 as an average.

C. Resolution No. 5370 -Massena PBRS Application(Tate)(10 Minutes)
Presentation of a Public Benefit Rafing System application submitted to King County
(parcels 3421059044 and 3421059061)
Assistant Director of Community Development Services Jeff Tate
presented proposed Resotution No. 5370 express:ing the City's support
for including parcels 3421059044 and 3421059061 in the King County
Public Benefit Rating System (PBRS). Also in attendance was B'ill
Bemstein from the King County Department of Natural Resources who
provided background on the Publie Benefit Rating System.
The Public Benefit Rating System is an open space property tax program
allowed under'state Iaw and administered by the county. The intent of the
program is to encourage preservation..of open space lands, agricultural
lands and forested lands that are in private ownership by offering property
tax reductions for land owners who are willing to preserve their land.
Property owners can seek to preserve agriculfural land, surface water
quality buffer, forest stewardship, and public access. Property tax
reductions that are awarded to an owner carry land management
obligations that are recorded against the property. A reduction in property
tax revenue from a single properly results in a shift whereby all other
Page 4 of 7
property tax payers within the county share in making up the lost revenue.
The Massena property consists of finro separate parcels that total 10.08
acres. The owner is seeking enrollment in the PBRS program under fhe
farm and agricultural consenration land category. King County is
recommending that 8.35 aeres of the total property be enrolled in the
program and that the taxable value of the property be reduced by 50
percent. Enrollment in the PBRS must be approved by the City and King
County legislative bodies.
Mr. Bemstein stated the property owners would be required to operate
ucnder a Farm Management Plan, developed with the help of the King
Consenration District, in order to maintain enrollment in fhe PBRS.
Assistant Director Tate advised the resolution will be on the June 4fh
Council agenda for consideration.
