The City is expected to grow by about45% over the next 20 years from thecurrent population of 9,000 to 12,500.This increase in population can be

accommodated within the existingCity limits. The Draft EIS analyzesimpacts caused by the proposedamendments and increase in growth.The analysis includes the environ-ment, public and private utilities, andpublic services such as fire and police.

On September 9 with the sounds of theSumner High School Jazz Ensemble inthe background and with the coopera-tion of the weather, a crowd gathered towelcome the completion of a long-await-ed event -- the opening of the NorthSumner Interchange at SR 167 and24th Street. The project, which beganin 1986 and eventually cost $38 million,was the result of the dedication and sup-port of numerous individuals, propertyowners and agencies.

The interchange will provide directaccess for trucks using the north indus-trial area. It is estimated that over2,000 trucks serve the industrial areacurrently per day. The interchange willalso provide direct access for employeesof the area to directly reach theiremployment. The City is working withtrucking companies and businesses tohelp ensure that drivers are aware ofthe new interchange and can use itrather than driving through the City.

Three applications for the SumnerCommunity Matching Grant programhave been awarded funds. The pro-jects are a program to add banners tothe light posts along Main Street, theWinter Fest to be held in Downtown

Sumner this November, and an AEDunit program through the SumnerHigh School. Congratulations to thoseprograms! These funds are 50/50matches to funds raised by the appli-cants.

Land use planning by Pierce County and our cities hasbecome an interesting topic in our local newspapers late-ly. But for Sumner, this is nothing is new.

Citzens and leaders of Sumner have carefully planned our cityfor a century. In the early 1900s, the street system was laid outand requirements for sidewalks and curbs were created. In1960, the City adopted its first modern Comprehensive LandUse Plan. In the late 70s, the City Council decided to review thelong-range direction of land development in the City. We decid-ed to protect the residential areas and Main Street’s commercialbusiness area, and to designate the area north of downtown asan employment area suitable for light industrial uses.

The latest version of our Comp Plan was adopted in 1994 and indicated the landuse patterns that we thought should exist outside the City limits and what typesof utilities we would need to serve those areas. For the past year, we have beenreviewing our plan and adding more detail, involving both environmental issuesand future needs.

We reviewed the Police and Fire Departments, Parks, and other City services. Weasked you to share your thoughts about services that are important to you. Welearned that you believe quality and efficient services, trees, parks, sense of com-munity, arts, recreation, and quality design for new construction are essential toour community.

We have learned, through the past 100 years, why planning is so important for acity’s ability to meet the needs of its citizens. I hope you will be a part of the cur-rent update to our Comp Plan. Together we can all help make decisions that willshape Sumner for the next century.

Finally, the holidays are almost here! Be sure to find information in this newslet-ter about the various celebrations in Sumner, especially the Old Cannery Bridgelighting ceremony on the Friday after Thanksgiving. This is a Sumner traditionyou and your children don’t want to miss. Happy holidays!

Barbara Skinner, Mayor

MAYOR’S MESSAGE

This is one in a series of profiles inCommunity Connections introducingSumner City Councilmembers..

Steve Allsop waselected to the CityCouncil in November2001. His term endsin December 2005.

Steve has lived inSumner more than20 years. He and hiswife have two chil-dren. He works inSumner as a mort-gage broker.

Steve belongs to Sumner Rotary,Sumner Presbyterian Church and vol-unteers time with YoungLife. He andhis family enjoy boating. He alsoattends car shows and auctions. Hisfavorite thing to do on a Saturdaymorning is to root for his kids on thesoccer field.

Steve says he is most interested inCommunity Development; how the Citycan keep its small-town atmosphere inthe face of so much pressure fromgrowth. He enjoys working on the City'scomprehensive plan and trying to helpthe City achieve the visions the planlays out. Additionally, he enjoys beingan advocate for the citizens on the "lit-tle" things that sometimes get over-looked since City resources are natural-ly more focused on large-scale issues.

Steve says that serving on the CityCouncil is very fulfilling because thereis so much going on.

“This is a vibrant community that isgrowing and changing, and I like beingin the middle of that,” he says. “I enjoystudying the issues and then represent-ing the community in the best way Iknow. This city is blessed with a terrif-ic staff who truly desire to serve thepeople.”

COUNCIL PROFILE

OCTOBER 2004


The City’s 2005 bud-get is a complex “pro-ject”, its developmentstarting in early sum-mer. As it gets pre-sented to the CityCouncil in late Oct-o b e r, it has alreadybeen through severallayers of refinement,including review withthe Council’s five committees.

The budget is made up of 40 separatefunds, totaling $51,247,550. The City’stotal budget includes numerous enter-prise funds, capital project funds, spe-cial revenue funds, internal servicefunds, and trust funds. These are areflection of the complexity of theCity’s activities, including the variousCity utilities, the cemetery, the golfcourse, and the numerous LID’s (localimprovement districts) that areadministered by the City.

The City’s General Government bud-get, or “general fund”, of $11,365,730is the most visible fund with the mostdiscretionary services. The largestsource of revenue for the general fundis the property tax. Pierce Countynow reports a total assessed valuationfor Sumner of $1,046,456,489, an 11.5% increase. This includes a three-foldincrease in new construction andimprovement value of $85,552,587,reflecting the City’s pace of new devel-opment. The property tax levy, pro-posed as a one (1) percent increaseover last year’s actual levy, is$3,313,350, which includes the EMS

levy of $465,630. The next largest rev-enue source for the general fund issales tax, estimated at $3,000,000 for2005, a 17.6 percent increase over the2004 estimate. The combined rev-enues from property tax, sales tax,and utility excise taxes will make upover 70 percent of the entire revenuesource for general government.

There is uncertainty this year in thegeneral fund's ability to sustain on-going service levels since a large shareof the revenues are coming from “one-time” or non-recurring sources, suchas sales tax on construction activities.Accordingly, the general fund in theproposed 2005 budget includes a high-er than average ending fund balanceor reserve of $1.189 million, which isover 10.4 percent.

Sumner citizens are invited to observeand participate as the City Councildeliberates on budget priorities for2005. The budget workshops (the firstweek of November) are open to thepublic, and the public hearings forpublic input are November 1st and15th.

The year 2005 promises to be anotheryear of continuing challenges and sig-nificant growth and change. The City’semphasis going in 2005 is on continu-ing to carefully manage the City’sgrowth and to sustain our qualityefforts in public safety and other basicgovernmental services.

City Reaches Outto Local Businesses

The City recently surveyed over 200local businesses, conducted 11 inter-views, and held a workshop to betterunderstand the business climate inSumner and to see what the City coulddo better. Overall the response fromthe business community was very pos-itive.

The City found that many businessesare locally owned, appear to beexpanding and growing, and are opti-mistic about the future. Businesseshad concerns with traffic, increasingutility costs, and recruitment of skilledlabor. They felt that the City could doa better job of managing traffic andparking, expediting permits, and pro-viding greater incentives to estab-lished businesses. They also felt theCity could be more proactive in mar-keting and recruiting a diversity ofbusinesses to Sumner.

The City has taken these commentsand incorporated them into a newEconomic Development Element in theCity’s Comprehensive Plan. Copies ofthe research results and the draftElement are available at City Hall andon the City’s website at : www.ci.sum-ner.wa.us/government/comdev/ .

The City Council will be holding a pub-lic hearing on this in December orJanuary as part of the overall updateto the Comprehensive Plan. For moreinformation please contact Ry a nWindish, Senior Planner atr y a n w @ c i . s u m n e r.wa.us or call 253-891-3301.

Crime is Decreasing, DespiteWhat You See on Television

By Colleen WilsonSumner Police Chief

Have you wondered why the crime rate has not beenan issue in this year’s election campaigns? Afterall, every evening television brings bad news into

our living rooms. It appears things are much worse thanwhen “we were young”. Parents of today were in school inthe 1970s and seem convinced that crime is much worse today than it was then.The numbers, however, tell us crime is actually lower than it was in 1973.

In 2002, individuals in the United States were less vulnerable to violent crime,and significantly less vulnerable to property crime than in 1973. From 1973through 2002, the rates of violent crime had some intervals of stability, while therates of property crime decreased virtually uninterrupted until leveling off somein 2003. Nationally, violent crime has continued to decrease; gun violence in par-ticular has been reduced in recent years.

Surveys indicate that most Americans get information about crime from massmedia and believe it to be accurate. Yet research also shows crime is reported outof proportion to actual crime numbers. Television news, particularly, shows vio-lence at a rate much higher than its occurrence. Researchers say this dispro-portionate reporting may be one reason that most people believe crime is increas-ing.

Generally, the more individuals are exposed to television, the more likely theyare to see the world as a mean and scary place and the more likely they are todistrust others, feel insecure and view crime as a serious problem. Insecuritymakes us more likely to be victims—bullies prey on those they believe to be theweakest. Distrust can make us less likely to talk to neighbors and watch out foreach other. Even as crime decreases, certainly it continues and we need to pur-sue prevention messages to our youth and vigilance in our communities.

And it is important to understand the real crime picture, too. There are crimesthat are on the increase, such as identify theft. You should take extra care whendisposing of your mail, for example, shredding anything with personal informa-tion. Never provide information like account numbers to an e-mail request, evenif it looks like it came from your bank or credit card company. Always verify suchrequests. If you receive an offer via e-mail or postal mail that looks too good tobe true, it usually is. Sumner Police are always happy to help you verify com-munication that causes concern.

In Washington, auto theft has also increased substantially in recent years. Mostof the auto thefts here in Sumner were of unlocked vehicles and some have evenbeen left running with the keys in them. So be informed, make good choices andtake proactive steps, but resist keeping everyone under lock and key. Teachingour kids to be safe from crime is similar to teaching them about water safety.Repeat the messages often and teach them to respect the hazards, but don’t letthem become so fearful that they miss out on the fun!

The detailed engineering, environmental permitting andright-of way process for the Stewart Road RoadwayImprovement Project has begun. Stewart Road, formerly8th Street East, is located in the cities of Sumner & Pacific.It is currently a two lane road connecting West ValleyHighway East and State Route 167 to the newly completedLake Tapps Parkway and East Valley Highway East.

The roadway will be widened to five lanes including a cen-ter two way left turn lane. The improvements will includetraffic signals, street lighting, curbs and gutters, plantingstrips, and a shared use trail located on the north and side-walks on the south side of Stewart Road. Permanent traf-fic signals will be provided at 140th Avenue Court East,Butte Avenue SE, Valentine Avenue SE and ThorntonAvenue SW along with future signals planned byWashington State Dept of Transportation for the north-bound ramps to SR 167. Future improvements to the corri-dor will include grade separation of the Union PacificRailroad and the replacement of the Stuck River Bridge.

This area is developing rapidly as businesses continue toseek location along the corridor. Development to the east ofthe project continues to increase traffic volumes on StewartRoad.

To accommodate this increased traffic, the Cities of Sumnerand Pacific are finalizing design and environmental per-mitting for the improvements. The cities will be contactingproperty owners along the corridor in late 2004 to begin theprocess of acquiring the needed rights of way and ease-ments. Construction of the project is expected to begin asearly as spring 2006.

Watch for upcoming newsletters and fliers for additionalinformation or contact Mike Dahlem at 253-891-3315 oremail [email protected].

The City of Sumner’s Legal Department may be few innumbers but its resposibilities and workload are any-thing but small.

The team of three, which includes a part-time paralegal,handles everything from defending the city in court to writ-ing ordinances and complicated legal agreements.

The department is led by City Attorney Patricia Bosmans,who joined the City in 1997 after working for 17 years in theCity of Tacoma’s legal department. Nancy Forster is theadministrative assistant and came to the City with 27 yearsof experience in the City Manager’s office in the City ofTacoma.

Pete Ruppert is the department’s paralegal. His experiencecomes from a career in the Air Force, flying aircraft andhandling aircraft acquisitions. Nancy Shattuck, a domesticviolence advocate, also works regularly with the legal team.

One of the city attorney’s main responsibilities is serving aslegal counsel for the City in courts ranging from municipalcourt all the way to the state supreme court where twoSumner cases have been heard in recent years. The cityattorney also represents the City of Sumner in hearingsbefore the hearing examiner and various boards at the stateand county levels.

Preparing legal documents and other paperwork is a bigpart of the city atttorney’s job. The team writes court charg-ing papers, ordinances, resolutions, agreements, motions,

and opinions for council members and City departments.

The city attorney’s office also advises staff members and cit-izens on the governmental process. “A lot of what we do ispoint people in the right direction,” said Nancy.

The greatest reward for the legal team is when their hardwork results in a winning a case for the City.

“I think the City is in pretty good hands with our staff.That’s rewarding to know,” said Patricia.
