The meeting convened at 4:00 PM.

Assistant Engineering Manager Drew Mayo stated that the Operations Facility project includes
construction of a new public works facility with approximately 102,100 square feet of total building space
across six buildings on a 6.2-acre site at 14320 29th Street East. The facility will house Public Works,
Parks, and Facilities and will include an administration building, vehicle storage, fleet washing, and
material storage. The project also includes frontage improvements, landscaping, site lighting, and
stormwater management. Due to delays in the contractor’s construction schedule, construction
management services need to be extended to continue providing project oversight and support through
completion of the Operations Facility. Amendment No. 2, in the amount of $246,548.09, will increase the
total contract value to $2,608,235.09.

Present: Deputy Mayor Andy Elfers (chair), Meilee Anderson, Dean Burke, Charles Hendricks,
Kylie Crick, staff: Carmen Palmer
COMMITTEE BUSINESS
1. Financial Update
Carmen Palmer provided an update on the funds and projects:
- Balance at end of June was $406,146.
- There’s still a $20,000 bond we’re holding for the Heritage Park/Hops Alley plants that will be
released to the contractor in Winter 2027 (assuming the plants continue to thrive).
- Total amount available is conservatively $386,146.
2. Potential Funding Item: Assets for Increased Event Safety
Palmer updated the group that Pierce County LTAC recommended $500,000 in funding in 2027 for
Sumner to replace the sound/PA system and purchase more permanent barricade/bollard options
to run down Main Street for better event security. The application anticipated a $150,000 match
from Sumner LTAC to fairly balance the two sources of Sumner lodging tax funding.
Burke moved to approve recommending $150,000 for this project. Hendricks seconded. The motion
passed unanimously.
3. Other Potential Funding Needs
Palmer provided an update on potential other funding needs, focusing on the Council’s recent
investment in fully designing the balance of Heritage Park. The committee agreed to hold off on any
further funding recommendations and meet in March 2027 to assess a Sumner LTAC commitmen …
