Mukilteo City Council Adopts Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program
The City Council approved the 2027-2031 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) via Resolution 2605. This annual update, required by RCW, is submitted to the Regional Council and WSDOT and must be adopted by the end of the month. The TIP focuses on regionally significant transportation projects, particularly those on federally classified roadways, to qualify the city for grants. The primary change since the previous year is the funding of the Fifth Street Bicycle and Pedestrian Project. Public comments and council discussions addressed concerns about deferred improvements for the Mukilteo Speedway project, particularly bicycle lanes and sidewalks, and traffic calming measures at the lane merge. Staff clarified that while some alternatives for the 525 paving project (a WSDOT project) are deferred due to funding, complete streets alternatives are being incorporated into the design for the new bridge project, with pedestrian access being a high priority. Discussions also covered conceptual parking facility and park-and-ride needs, with a consensus that a park-and-ride would not be located on the waterfront.
Mukilteo Approves Contract Amendment for Traffic Cameras, Adjusting Fees and Adding Second Notice Process
The City Council considered a contract amendment with Nova Global for automated traffic cameras. The amendment addresses two key areas: a change in the pricing structure for high-volume ticket issuance and the implementation of a second notice process for infractions. The new pricing model will charge $4 per infraction after the initial 1,100 monthly infractions, replacing the previous flat monthly fee. This change is intended to align costs with actual ticket volume and allow the city more flexibility in managing camera triggers. Additionally, a second notice will be sent for unpaid infractions before they are sent to collections, a process that has already increased payment rates by 10% during a pilot program. This initiative aims to improve payment compliance and potentially reduce collection costs.
Mukilteo Police Department Renews Axon Body-Worn Camera Contract for Five Years
The City Council reviewed and authorized a five-year renewal agreement for Axon body-worn cameras for the Mukilteo Police Department. The agreement includes hardware, cloud storage, and programming. The cameras have significantly improved case closures, evidence handling, and officer accountability. The renewal cost is $286,352 over five years, or $57,270 annually. The renewal also mandates compliance with RCW 10-122-030 regarding the recording of juvenile and felony custodial interrogations. Discussions also touched upon potential future use of Axon's AI services like 'Axon First Draft' for report writing and 'Axon Translate' for real-time language translation, though these are not included in the current proposal due to additional costs.
Mukilteo Council Approves Webster Street Right-of-Way Vacation for Swiss Stack Property
The City Council held a public hearing and approved the vacation of a portion of Webster Street related to the Swiss stack property. This vacation request, initiated by the citizen, was finalized after several council reviews. The city will retain 60 feet of right-of-way. The applicant will pay $9,825, representing 50% of the appraised value of the right-of-way, as it was dedicated in the original 1890 plat and no public funds were used for its acquisition. This action cleans up property lines and ensures the property owner can maintain the required 20-foot setback from the road. The right-of-way has historically been landscaped and maintained by the property owner.
Mukilteo Council Adopts Budget Amendment Reflecting Grants, New Positions, and Program Adjustments
The City Council reviewed and adopted Ordinance 1537, amending the 2025-2026 biennial budget. The amendment incorporates various approved agenda bills, grant acceptances, and expenditure increases. Key adjustments include appropriations for executive services, finance department needs, planning and community development for a dive park feasibility study, and public safety for a new assistant court clerk position. The budget also reflects increased revenue and expenditures for the senior program due to additional county funding. Notable grant acceptances include $1.4 million from the Transportation Improvement Board and $300,000 from the U.S. Department of Transportation. The overall budget amendment increases revenues by $1.7 million and expenditures by $982,000.
