Conservation, transportation, fire departments second station, and more

Posted

Tumwater’s General Government Committee discussed new additions to the general government and transportation components of the next iteration of the capital facilities plan (CFP) on Thursday, July 6.

There would be seven new general government projects, with three of them set to receive funding through the CFP fund, which include the expansion of parking at the city hall costing $350,000, the installation of stockpile covers at Tumwater Valley Golf Club, which is budgeted for $160,000, and improvements at the fire department’s second station for $75,000.

Two general government projects will be funded through a mix of grants and the CFP fund.

Golf course fueling station

First is the design and construction of a new fueling station at the golf course, funded through $125,000 of the CPF fund and $375,000 from grants. The other project involves designing and constructing stormwater improvements at the golf course’s maintenance shop, funded through $60,000 of the CFP fund and $180,000 from grants.

Conservation

Another general government project is the acquisition of mitigation land as part of the city’s ongoing habitat conservation plan. The city has targeted $2.5 million in grant funding for this project.

The final new project is the city’s contributions towards a new animal control facility for Joint Animals Services, to be financed through a $2 million fund that the city classifies as a loan or debt.

Transportation

The transportation component includes three additions.

First is the reconstruction of Sapp Road as part of the fish passage barrier removal project at Percival Creek, which would be funded through grants amounting to $2 million.

There is also the design and construction of a roundabout at Capitol Boulevard and Dennis Street, which would be financed through a $540,000 allocation from the CFP fund and grant funding worth $3.46 million.

The last project is a road capacity study for Trosper Road with two roundabouts anticipated at Littlerock Road and Tyee Drive, to be financed with $200,000 from the CPF fund.

The committee will discuss the water, sewer, and storm drain components of the CFP at another meeting this July.

The CFP is updated every two years and is part of the city’s comprehensive plan update, estimated to be adopted by the city council by October.
