2012 to 2015 Capital Improvement Program funding in 2015 is 60%, or $50.6 million, higher than the previous three years. The $50.6 million increase from 2012 to 2015 is largely due to the availability of increased revenue as the County recovers from the recession, and the major investment in the expansion of the Chambers Creek Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant. In 2015, the expansion of the Wastewater Treatment Plant accounts for $94.1 million, or 69.3%, of total Capital Improvement funds.

2015 Current Budget In 2015, infrastructure items that were delayed due to the recession are now being prioritized and completed. Bonds have been issued to fund the Wastewater Treatment Plant expansion through 2016.

Pierce County 2015 Budget

Capital Improvement Overview Introduction The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is the operational implementation of the Capital Facilities Plan (CFP). The CFP is one of the elements of Pierce County's comprehensive plan that is required by Washington's Growth Management Act (GMA).

GMA The GMA requires the CFP to identify public facilities that will be needed to address development expected to occur during the next six years. The CFP must identify the location and cost of the facilities and the sources of revenue that will be used to fund the facilities needed to support development. The CFP must be financially feasible; in other words, dependable revenue sources must equal or exceed anticipated costs. If the costs exceed the revenue, the County must reduce its level of service, reduce costs by implementing non-capital alternatives or other methods, or modify the land use element to bring development into balance with available or affordable facilities. Other requirements of the GMA mandate forecasts of future needs for capital facilities and the use of standards for level of service facility capacity as the basis for public facilities contained in the CFP. As a result, public facilities in the CFP must be based on quantifiable, objective measures of capacity, such as traffic volume capacity per mile of road or acres of park per capita. One of the goals of the GMA is to: "Ensure that those public facilities and services necessary to support development shall be adequate to serve the development at the time the development is available for occupancy and use . . ." In Pierce County, concurrency is required for sanitary sewer, septic and community systems, water, surface water, County roads, transit, and ferries. For these facilities, the following is required: 1) facilities serving the development to be in place at the time of development (or, for some types of facilities, Pierce County 2015 Budget

499

Capital Improvement Overview that a financial commitment is made to provide the facilities within a specified period of time), and 2) such facilities have sufficient capacity to serve development without decreasing level of service below minimum standards adopted in the CFP. The GMA requires concurrency for transportation facilities. For transportation facilities, concurrent with development means "improvements or strategies are in place at the time of development, or that a financial commitment is in place to complete the improvements or strategies within six years." GMA also requires public facilities and services to be "adequate." These public facilities and services include: streets, roads, highways, sidewalks, street and road lighting systems, traffic signals, domestic water systems, storm and sanitary sewer systems, parks and recreational facilities, schools, fire protection and suppression, law enforcement, public health, education, recreation, environmental protection, and other governmental services. The County's development regulations, adopted July 1995, implement the plan and provide detailed regulations and procedures for implementing the requirements of the plan. The purpose of the CFP is to use sound fiscal policies to provide adequate public facilities consistent with the Land Use Element on a schedule concurrent with, or prior to, the impacts of development in order to achieve and maintain adopted standards for level of service, and to exceed the adopted standards, when possible. There are at least three reasons to plan for capital facilities: 1) growth management, 2) good management, and 3) eligibility for grants and loans. A. Growth Management. 1. A CFP is required by the GMA. The CFP is one of six required elements of the local government's comprehensive plan. 2. Capital facilities plans are required in a comprehensive plan to:

500

a. Provide capital facilities for land development that is envisioned or authorized by the land use element of the comprehensive plan. b. Maintain the quality of life for existing and future development by establishing and maintaining standards for the level of service of capital facilities. c. Coordinate and provide consistency among the many plans for capital improvements, including: (1) Other elements of the comprehensive plan (i.e., transportation, land use, and utilities elements); (2) Plans and other studies of the local government; (3) Plans for capital facilities of state and regional significance; (4) Plans of other adjacent local governments; and, (5) Plans of special districts. d. Ensure the timely provision of adequate facilities as required by the GMA. e. Document capital projects and their financing (including projects to be financed by impact fees and real estate excise taxes that are authorized by the GMA). 3. The CFP is the element that makes the rest of the comprehensive plan real. By establishing Level of Service as the basis for providing capital facilities and for achieving concurrency, the CFP determines the quality of life in the community. Funding sources identified in the CFP are assumed to be commitments by the County. If any of these commitments for concurrency Pierce County 2015 Budget

Capital Improvement Overview related improvements cannot be fulfilled, the County must make adjustments in the land use plan, find non-capital alternatives or use other methods to meet the need, or modify the level of service standard. In this way, the CFP can affect the size and configuration of an urban growth area. B. Good Management. Planning for major capital facilities and their costs enables Pierce County to: 1. Demonstrate the need for facilities and the need for revenues to pay for them; 2. Estimate eventual operation and maintenance costs of new capital facilities that will impact the annual budget; 3. Take advantage of sources of revenue (i.e., grants, impact fees, real estate excise taxes) that require a CFP in order to qualify for the revenue; and, 4. Get better ratings on bond issues when the County borrows money for capital facilities (thus reducing interest rates and the cost of borrowing money). C.

Prioritizing Employment Centers. Creating a jobs-based economy for Pierce County is one of the major goals of this Comprehensive Plan. Policies in the Economic Development and Land Use Elements direct the Capital Facilities Element to give priority to providing public facilities and services to locations identified as designated Employment Centers. The Employment-Based Planned Community land use designation includes suitable areas for commercial/industrial acreage; however, the provision of public facilities and services to these areas is the responsibility of the developer of the project site. Employment Centers are identified in the Economic Development Element of the Comprehensive Plan. Changes to the list and locations of

Pierce County 2015 Budget

Employment-Based Planned Communities and Employment Centers are based upon amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and annexation or incorporation. D. Phasing of Urban Growth. The countywide Planning Policies for Phasing of Development within the urban growth area call for the County and each municipality to seek to direct growth as follows: 1. First to centers and urbanized areas with existing infrastructure capacity; 2. Second to areas that are already urbanized such that infrastructure improvements can be easily extended; and, 3. Last to areas requiring infrastructure improvements.

major

In addition, the countywide Planning Policies provide directions regarding provision of infrastructure as follows: 1. Capital facilities plans shall identify existing, planned, and future infrastructure needs within urban growth areas. 2. The County and each municipality in the County should identify appropriate levels of service and concurrency standards that address schools, sewer, water, and parks. 3. The County and each municipality in the County shall identify appropriate levels of service and concurrency standards that address roads. E. Eligibility for Grants and Loans. The State of Washington Department of Commerce’s Public Works Trust Fund requires that local governments have some type of CFP in order to be eligible for loans. Some other grants and loans have similar requirements, or give preference to governments that have a CFP. 501

Capital Improvement Overview

Recurring and Non-Recurring Capital Improvements Recurring capital improvements are non-major repairs and maintenance, and minor upgrades. Pursuant to the Washington Budgeting, Accounting, and Reporting System (BARS), these expenditures are generally coded in object 35 (minor equipment) or object 48 (repairs and maintenance). These expenditures are excluded from the CFP. Examples include IT hardware and software upgrades, Sheriff’s patrol aircraft and K-9 units, chairs, and printers.

The Capital Improvement Program in this budget document sets the first year based on the County Council authorized capital program expenditures. The CFP projects are prepared and submitted by the departments. The Budget and Finance and the Planning and Land Services Departments coordinate preparation and publication of the plan. The County Executive approves the draft plan and forwards it to the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission reviews the draft, holds hearings in which some departments may be asked to provide additional explanation and detail, and then forwards the plan to the County Council with recommendations. After Committee hearings, the County Council adopts the CFP by resolution concurrent with the operating budget.

A “non-recurring capital improvement” for the CFP expenditure must be for the acquisition of a physical asset which has a useful life of at least 10 years. Excluded from the definition are such items as vehicles, office and data processing equipment, other equipment items (unless they are an integral part of the larger physical improvement), and normal repairs and maintenance. Also, projects with a total expenditure of less than $150,000 are excluded from the CFP, but are included here in order to maintain consistency with the adopted budget. Projects funded by real estate excise tax (REET) or the General Fund are usually budgeted and managed by the Facilities Management Department.

Process The Plan is updated annually to reflect a new sixyear timeframe, current population projections, and changes to proposed capital improvement projects. The County uses population estimates 502

prepared annually by the Washington State Office of Financial Management (OFM) and extrapolated (straight line) for future years.

The County Executive and County Council establish policies and priorities to meet service and public policy goals. Generally, preservation and maintenance of existing, essential public facilities are the highest priority followed by upgrades and expansion to meet level of service and concurrency goals. Some projects must be undertaken to meet external mandates (such as National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) or to take advantage of grant opportunities. Each applicable department prepares six-year (14 in the case of the Ferry System) project plans and budgets to meet these goals. The County Executive, County Council, and departments are also guided by specific master plans such as the Park Recreation Open Space Plan, and other long range and community plans. Since current and anticipated revenues almost always fall short, many projects do not receive funding. However, these unfunded projects are listed in the complete CFP in order to inform future deliberations.

2015 Impact on the Operating Budget Each subsection provides a forecast of the future maintenance and operating costs of capital improvement projects. The impacts of each project are presumed to begin in the year after the year in which the project is completed. Since it is not possible to forecast the completion date of each project, impacts have not been developed for any portion of the year in which the project is completed. The forecast of operating impacts is included because the substantial cost impacts of some facilities may be a factor in the County's decision to construct the project. No “financing plan” is offered for the operating costs, and the County will be obliged to find revenue to pay for such costs. Some of the revenue may come from increases to the tax base that accompany the new development that created the need for the capital facility. There is no assurance, however, that the increased tax revenue from new development will

be sufficient to pay for the cost of operating the new facilities. The operating impact costs reflect the amount by which each future year's operating budget will increase compared to the current operating budget. The same project is shown to have the same annual impact on each succeeding year's operating budget. Sometimes, the completion of a capital improvement project will result in savings in operating costs, rather than incur new costs. In other instances, such as maintenance, renovation or repair projects, there will be no impact on operating costs. In these cases, zeroes are entered. For some projects the operating impact of the capital improvement projects cannot be calculated because of too many unknown factors, such as final configuration and type of facility, realignment of staffing, or the amount of shared infrastructure with current facilities. The departments in the table (shown on the next page) are those that are able to estimate impacts at this time.

AIRPORTS The two County airports provide general and corporate aviation access to the east and western parts of Pierce County. Airports are to remain open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and be available for day to day service and emergency response/search and rescue support as needed. Adequate Public Facilities: It is the intent of the County CFP that adequate Airport facilities be available no later than occupancy of each new development. However, no development permit should be denied based on the County's inability to maintain level of service standards for the Department of Public Works and Utilities facilities.

2015 Capital Improvement Projects

Relation to Growth Management Act The GMA recognizes general aviation airports as essential public facilities and requires that the capital needs of these facilities be considered within the Comprehensive Plan and Capital Facilities Plan. The airports’ capital plans through 2015 are exclusive to maintenance, improvements, and preservation of current capital assets. These projects will not increase the level of service but will improve the safety and longevity of the current infrastructure.

DISTRICT COURT

The mission of Pierce County District Court, as an independent and impartial branch of government, is to promote respect for law, society, and individual rights; provide open, accessible, and effective forums for dispute resolution; resolve legal matters in a just, efficient, and timely manner; and, assure the dignified and fair treatment of all parties.

Pierce County District Court is a court of limited jurisdiction over the following cases: traffic infractions; criminal, traffic, and gross misdemeanors; civil matters for damages for injury to individuals or personal property, penalties and contract disputes no greater than $75,000; civil claims, known as “small claims,” for recovery of money only where the amount claimed does not exceed $5,000; name changes; and, anti-harassment protection orders. Adequate Public Facilities: It is the intent of the County CFP that adequate District Court facilities be available no later than occupancy of each new development. However, no development permit should be denied based on the County's inability to maintain level of service standards for District Court facilities.

2015 Projects There are no projects funded for the 2015-2020 years. Upon completion the recommendations of the Justice Center Planning Committee will be reflected in future Capital Facilities Plans.

Relation to Growth Management Act The level of service for District Court is one courtroom per judicial position.

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT The mission of the Department of Emergency Management (DEM) is the preparation of Pierce County for disaster through public education, training, and planning; the support of a system of emergency medical and trauma care; the prevention of fires through inspection, plan review, education, and investigation; and the administration of radio communication needs and the Enhanced 911 program. Adequate Public Facilities: It is the intent of the County CFP that adequate DEM facilities be available no later than occupancy of each new development. However, no development permit should be denied based on the County's inability to maintain level of service standards for DEM facilities.

DEM - Radio Emergency Communications Network Location Links to Other Projects Facilties

Tacoma None

Description

Pierce County’s current radio communications system is a 1970s technology that is on a VHF radio frequency that is not interoperable with radio systems in Tacoma, Puyallup, Lakewood, Steilacoom, Bonney Lake, and King and Snohomish Counties. Thurston County is also in the process of transitioning to a different radio system. Pierce County DEM and the Sheriff’s Department have been jointly working together with King and Snohomish Counties in a tri-county emergency communications group to evaluate the feasibility of a next generation interoperable communications system that could link all three counties. We have progressed far enough in the process to understand that our next generation system will be on the 700/800MHz radio bands. This will require design and development of additional radio sites. The current VHF radio system is obsolete and does not provide enough frequencies for our current operations and there is a lack of additional VHF frequencies available. Further, the VHF band is not utilized by other law enforcement and fire agencies that we need to communicate on a daily basis or during larger scale regional operations and emergencies. Lastly the current VHF technology does not provide the latest features able to identify officers by a keying of their microphones, and other modern features. These features will provide dramatic safety improvements for the deputies in the field.

Relation to Growth Management Act The Department of Emergency Management (DEM) provides a variety of services to both unincorporated and incorporated areas within Pierce County. Those services consist of emergency preparedness training, hazard mitigation, fire prevention activities, County radio communications, and administration of emergency medical services. The DEM operates the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) during incidents and events, such as major flooding, windstorms, earthquakes, and man-made emergency incidents. Additionally, the DEM provides contract services for emergency management activities to cities and towns within Pierce County which require additional administrative and programmatic support. The Urban Search and Rescue warehouse houses the logistical support staff and the full cache of the Pierce County-sponsored Task Force. The Fire Prevention Bureau is in the Public Services Building (Annex). The Bureau is responsible for conducting fire inspections, inspections of business, issuance of permits, reviews of plans, and providing a public education program on fire safety and prevention for the benefit of all in the County. The 2015 proposed level of service (LOS) is directly attributable to the Radio Communications Tower sites and the coverage these sites provide to facilitating and supporting system-wide emergency communications by DEM and its partnering agencies. The optimal performance of the radio communications systems is expressed in terms of a load capacity that is not more than 80% of its total capacity. This LOS accurately reflects the true need of the DEM to provide on-going service to citizens of Pierce County.

FERRY SYSTEM

The Pierce County ferry system provides sole, essential public ferry transportation between the town of Steilacoom, Anderson Island, and Ketron Island. The over-riding performance goals are to provide a 90-plus percent on time ferry service during scheduled ferry runs and to be prepared to provide emergency service whenever requested. The Pierce County ferry system includes two ferry vessels and three ferry terminals. Adequate Public Facilities: It is the intent of the County CFP that adequate Department of Public Works and Utilities facilities be available no later than occupancy of each new development. However, no development permit should be denied based on the County's inability to maintain level of service standards for Department of Public Works and Utilities facilities. Additional details are provided in the Transportation Improvement Program incorporated by reference herein.

Relation to Growth Management Act The level of service for General Administration Buildings has historically been calculated using the most currently available population growth for incorporated and unincorporated Pierce County to calculate and project future office space needs for the general administrative function of the County. Given the dynamic nature of today’s and the future’s workforce and the variety of work space utilization, such as hotelling, job sharing, teleconferencing, telecommuting, and remote computer connectivity, this level of service calculation is no longer relevant. A more meaningful methodology is being researched by the Facilities Management Department staff and will be utilized in future years. In the meantime, the Facilities Management Department continues to lead Master Planning efforts that will help detail appropriate and efficient use of office space for the General Administration departments.

JUVENILE COURT

The Pierce County Juvenile Court has exclusive jurisdiction over those juveniles within Pierce County who violate the criminal laws of this state or who are in need of protection and/or advocacy as a result of abuse, neglect, or abandonment. The Juvenile Department is responsible for the provision of probation, court, detention, adoption, and support services. To facilitate the operation of these statutory mandates, the agency is organized into specific sections: Administrative Services, Probation, Detention, and Court Services. All programs for the Pierce County Juvenile Court are currently housed in facilities located at 5501 6th Ave., Tacoma, also known as Remann Hall. These facilities are in poor condition and are not well suited for the program delivery. The Justice Center Planning Committee is analyzing the feasibility of consolidating and colocating justice programs onto the downtown County campus on Tacoma Avenue. The recommendations of this committee will be reflected in future Capital Facilities Plans. Adequate Public Facilities: It is the intent of the County CFP that adequate Court facilities and detention facilities be available no later than occupancy of each new development. However, no development permit should be denied based on the County’s inability to maintain level of service standards for court and detention facilities.

2015 Projects Additional projects that may impact Juvenile Court are listed in the General Administrative section and in the Juvenile Court section of the Capital Facilities Plan for 2015-2020.

Relation to Growth Management Act The Pierce County Council adopted an update to the Park, Recreation, and Open Space Plan (PROS Plan) on July 22, 2008. This plan is part of the County’s Land Use Plan under Growth Management. The updated PROS Plan restates the regional emphasis of the County park system. The PROS Plan provides Capital Improvement and Capital Facilities selection criteria that implements section 19A.100.010 D29 (a) of the County Land Use Plan. The PROS Plan establishes a level of service standard for Parks at 3.0 Acres-Per-1,000 in population. For the six-year planning period 2013 to 2018 no additional land is needed to accommodate new growth. In fact, at the conclusion of the planning period, the County will have a surplus of 2,413.08 acres of land.

ROADS BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES

Pierce County government, in accordance with Title 36 RCW, plans, constructs, operates, preserves, and maintains over 1,500 miles of roads and bridges within Pierce County, Washington. These public roads fall under the authority of the Pierce County Engineer and are supported by a myriad of funding combinations comprised of federal, state, and local taxes and private capital.

Adequate Public Facilities: It is the desire of the County that adequate arterial road facilities be available no later than occupancy of each new development. However, the Growth Management Act (GMA), as found in Chapter 36.70A RCW, and the Pierce County Code, as found in PCC 19A.100.030 C recognizes that the development of arterial road facilities is a complex and time consuming task, and therefore provide a sixyear “grace period” after a road has failed concurrency to bring the road back within concurrency standards. For an arterial road to fail the road concurrency standards, the Service Standard (V/S) ratio for a road segment must be greater than the adopted Service Standard. In its most basic form, the “Service Standard” is a measure that attempts to quantify a public’s “acceptance” of a certain level of traffic congestion. If the Service Standard is exceeded on an arterial road segment, the arterial road segment has “failed” or “violated” the concurrency standards. This is also known simply as a road segment has failed concurrency. If the concurrency standards have been violated on an arterial road segment, mitigation must be implemented within six years of the failed concurrency date in order for development permits to continue to be approved in areas that are contributing to the traffic impact upon the failed arterial road segment. The concurrency system for arterial roads within Pierce County is used as a management tool. In accordance with the GMA, it is the intent of Pierce County that an arterial road system be constructed in a manner that accommodates growth and development in the County in accordance with its Comprehensive Plan. The monitoring of both current V/S ratios and projected V/S ratios (for the following six year period) provides the County with a management tool to measure the adequacy of the County's arterial roads and aids in the decision making of where to focus future arterial road improvements. The use of traffic volumes (V), Service Thresholds (S), and an adopted Service Standard (V/S ratio) provides a consistent method for monitoring “concurrency levels” of all arterial road segments. Site-specific transportation impacts will be monitored and mitigated through the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) review process. To gauge the performance of the County arterial road system in relation to its ability to accommodate growth and development, Service Thresholds and a Service Standard are adopted by the Pierce County Council as part of this Capital Facilities Plan. Adequate Public Facilities: It is the intent of the County CFP that adequate Roads buildings and facilities be available no later than occupancy of each new development. However, no development permit should be denied based on the County's inability to maintain level of service standards for County Roads building and facilities. 534

SEWER AND WATER DIVISIONS OF PUBLIC WORKS AND UTILITIES The mission of the Sewer Division is to provide customers with high quality, cost effective, sanitary sewer services by collecting and treating all wastewater generated from County service areas in accordance with applicable local, state, and federal permit requirements. It is the intent of the Pierce County Comprehensive Plan that adequate wastewater collection and treatment facilities shall be made available no later than occupancy of each new development. Expansion of the sewer collection system Chambers Creek Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion Mid 2014 is primarily accomplished through new development paying for the construction of new lines and connections to the existing collection system to carry wastewater to the Chambers Creek Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant, the City of Tacoma’s Central Wastewater Plant, and the Cascadia Wastewater Treatment Plant. Much of Pierce County’s urban growth area is located above a sole source aquifer. Pierce County’s Comprehensive Plan Section 19A.90.050, Utility-Sewer Objective 14 requires the use of sewers in the County’s urban growth and urban zoned areas. The Sewer Division is also responsible for managing the Chambers Creek Properties water rights and water infrastructure. At this time there is approximately 2.62 million gallons per day of municipal water rights and smaller amounts of other ground and surface water rights. The current primary water source is a new production well that draws groundwater from a deep aquifer. The Chambers Creek Properties water is currently being used for irrigation on the properties and for dust control during construction projects. The Sewer Division continues to market the municipal water and investigate wholesale water opportunities with local retail water companies. The Sewer Division is also in the process of constructing reclaimed water facilities as part of the Wastewater Treatment Plant expansion construction project and anticipates that in the future reclaimed water will be used for irrigation of the properties, thus freeing up more groundwater sources for potential wholesale distribution. Adequate Public Facilities: It is the intent of the County CFP that adequate Sewer and Water Division of Public Works be available no later than occupancy of each new development. However, no development permit should be denied based on the County's inability to maintain level of service standards for the County’s Sewer and Water Division buildings and facilities.

PIERCE COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT

The mission of the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department is to protect life and property, to uphold rights, and to help build stronger, more livable communities.

The Sheriff’s Department is a full service law enforcement agency which provides a variety of services throughout the County to include patrol, traffic, and investigative services in unincorporated Pierce County. The following services are provided to both incorporated and unincorporated areas: jail, property room, and civil process services. Additional specialty services of Forensics Investigations, Search and Rescue, Marine and Lake Patrol, Dive Rescue, Air Support, Special Weapons and Tactics, Narcotics, and Meth Lab Teams are provided throughout the County. Further, the Sheriff’s Department provides contract law enforcement services around the County The Sheriff’s Department is headquartered in the County-City Building and personnel are deployed around the County from a South Hill Precinct, four substations and four contract agency offices. A new Parkland precinct opened in 2014. Some of the Sheriff’s facilities are inadequate to provide the services demanded by the public and to support staff. The substations are converted office spaces that lack true police station capabilities and security. Some facilities are overcrowded; lack adequate deputy work spaces, prisoner interviewing and holding spaces; and, lack adequate storage and public meeting spaces. This overcrowding results in a heavily worn appearance at some Sheriff’s facilities. Adequate Public Facilities: It is the intent of the County CFP that adequate Sheriff’s facilities be available no later than occupancy of each new development. However, no development permit should be denied based on the County's inability to maintain level of service standards for Sheriff’s facilities.

2015 PROJECTS Additional projects that may impact the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department are listed in the General Administrative section and in the Sheriff’s section of the Capital Facilities Plan for 2015-2020.

RELATION TO GROWTH MANAGEMENT ACT The level of service (LOS) was carefully examined in 2004 and adjusted to a more realistic square footage need. The reduction in 2008 occurred as a result of DEM being separated from PCSD’s CFP. The Sheriff is discussing an “Officers per Thousand Population” LOS. Until an additional or a new LOS is adopted, the current level of 0.5 square feet per capita will remain in effect. .

SHERIFF’S CORRECTIONS BUREAU AND DETENTION CENTER

The mission of the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department is to protect life and property, to uphold rights, and to help build stronger, more livable communities.

The mission of the Pierce County Detention and Corrections Center is the management, in a safe and secure manner, of persons who have been charged with or convicted of offenses. It recognizes that, for sentenced prisoners, confinement in itself is punishment. For pre-trial prisoners, confinement is to ensure the safety of the public and the individual. The Center serves the entire criminal justice system. The Sheriff’s Corrections Bureau is responsible for operating two large jail facilities with a potential total bed count of 1,717. The Corrections Center houses both pre-trial misdemeanor and felony defendants, those sentenced to jail, and also rents bed space for offenders from the federal and state Departments of Corrections. Adequate Public Facilities: It is the intent of the County CFP that adequate Sheriff’s Correctional facilities be available no later than occupancy of each new development. However, no development permit should be denied based on the County's inability to maintain level of service (LOS) standards for Corrections facilities.

SUSTAINABLE RESOURCES (SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT FUND)

Public Works and Utilities empowers Pierce County residents and businesses to reduce wasteful consumption, conserve natural resources, save money, and build a more livable community. The Solid Waste Management Fund finances capital improvements necessary for sustaining the comprehensive solid waste system that serves unincorporated Pierce County and 19 cities and towns. Associated programs include waste reduction and recycling, environmental education, and code enforcement.

Pierce County contracts with private companies to operate five County-owned solid waste facilities, and to gain access and capacity at an additional four facilities. Existing facilities provide sufficient capacity to handle both garbage requiring disposal and organic materials suitable for composting throughout the six years covered by this CFP. Sustainable Resources has launched six initiatives designed to reduce disposal volumes up to 90,600 annually as part of a larger effort to shrink disposal volumes to 1.09 pounds per person per day by 2032. In 2014 significant progress was made in the development of a system to more closely monitor waste generation and disposal data on an ongoing basis (the waste trends analysis), initiation of a top-to-bottom review of countyowned solid waste facilities to enhance recycling opportunities, and working with the private sector to capture and divert a larger percentage of recyclable construction debris. Adequate Public Facilities: It is the intent of the County CFP that adequate Sustainable Resources, Solid Waste management, buildings and facilities be available no later than occupancy of each new development. However, no development permit should be denied based on the County's inability to maintain level of service standards for Sustainable Resources, Solid Waste Management, buildings and facilities.

Purdy Transfer Station Improvements Location 14515 54th Ave NW Links to Other Customer Service, Asset Management, and System Sustainability Plan - PWU Sustainable Resources Projects Facilties Description Pierce County’s Purdy Transfer Station serves as the primary point of disposal for all residential and commercial solid waste generated on the Gig Harbor and Key Peninsulas, the City of University Place, and the Town of Fircrest. Garbage collection routes run by American Disposal and University Place Refuse/Westside Disposal use the Purdy Transfer Station to tip or dispose of waste collected from homes and businesses. The facility is the only 7-day a week disposal and recycling site available to self-haulers on the Peninsulas. The facility has been open since 1989 with minimal capital improvements. This phased project has resulted in the siting of a new scalehouse, realignment of the entrance road, new recycling and household hazardous waste collection sites, a new maintenance facility, a more energy efficient blower system for the compost facility, a new screening system that will result in a capacity gain in the compost facility, and a new public drop-off for compostable yardwaste. The 2015 efforts will replace concrete and asphalt near public tipping areas and scalehouse. Need

These improvements were noted as essential for continued operations as part of an annual facility assessment conducted as part of the Customer Service, Asset Management, and System Sustainability (CAS) Program.

SUPERIOR COURT

Under the Constitutional doctrine of separation of powers, government consists of executive, legislative, and judicial branches. The Superior Court is the highest level trial court in state government and the only trial court of general jurisdiction in Pierce County. Any civil suit may be filed in Superior Court and all suits in excess of District Court’s limited jurisdiction must be filed in Superior Court. The Superior Court is also an appellate court for District and Municipal Courts. There are 22 Superior Court judges and eight court commissioners in Pierce County.

Many of the Court’s responsibilities are mandated by law and must be provided. For example, all felony criminal proceedings must be filed in Superior Court. The services provided by Superior Court are many and varied. The Court is constantly investigating programs, which would maximize the use of its resources as well as exploring methods to reduce court congestion and delay, ensure courtroom security, and maintain the dignity of the judicial system without sacrificing individual justice. Adequate Public Facilities: It is the intent of the County CFP that adequate Superior Court facilities be available no later than occupancy of each new development. However, no development permit should be denied based on the County's inability to maintain level of service (LOS) standards for Superior Court facilities.

2015 PROJECTS There are no projects funded for the 2015-2020 years. Upon completion the recommendations of the Justice Center Planning Committee will be reflected in future Capital Facilities Plans.

RELATION TO GROWTH MANAGEMENT ACT The LOS for Superior Court is one permanent courtroom in the County-City Building for each Superior Court judge; one hearing room per criminal division; one hearing room per commissioner assigned to the CountyCity Building; and one courtroom/hearing room per judicial officer when serving at locations away from the County-City Building.

RELATION TO GROWTH MANAGEMENT ACT The baseline level of service for the County Stormwater Facilities is to provide conveyance facilities to accommodate a 4% annual chance flood (25-year, 24-hour design storm) and holding facilities to accommodate a 1% annual chance flood (100-year, 24-hour design storm). Infiltration facilities must be designed to accommodate the 100-year, 24-hour design storm or the 100-year, 7-day design storm, whichever results in a larger facility. Water quality treatment is provided for the volume of runoff from the 91st percentile, 24-hour runoff volume (or 91% of surface water runoff). The LOS for Flood Management facilities along the rivers is being set in the update to the Comprehensive Flood Hazard Management Plan and varies with the adopted river reach management strategy as described in section 3.2 Project Policies. The specific LOS (level of protection) for each river reach is described in Appendix F and varies from 200-year to maintaining the existing levee prisms. There are also erosion protection levels for revetments to reduce the risk from channel migration. The consideration of which level of protection to apply to a given reach involves the infrastructure (roads and buildings) either currently, present, 548

Design of levees for a level of protection also includes three feet of freeboard above the Storm Recurrence Year flood elevation. A 200-year level of service is the flood elevation for a storm with a 0.5% chance of occurring any given year (plus three feet of freeboard).
