Upper Carlson Restoration ProjectRemove an existing King County levee and construct a set-back facility along Neal Road to improve salmon habitat, reduce flood hazards, and promote agriculture. Project will improve river and floodplain habitat in the Snoqualmie River near Fall City through the restoration of natural riverine processes.

The Upper Carlson project listed above is the first project to be imple-mented in the reach. Three additional large flood facilities may be relocated (set back) in this reach over the next two decades, restoring river access to isolated flood-plain areas. Outreach efforts will continue with the agricultural community, land-owners, and community members to further prioritize and identify risks and benefits of large-scale restoration projects in this corridor.• Project 1 – Upper Carlson construction was completed in 2014.

Department of Transportation Cont’d.Metro Transit Service Guidelines Task ForceIn 2010, King County formed a Regional Transit Task Force which recommended that Metro create objective, data-based guidelines for planning and managing transit service. Metro responded to this recommendation, and the King County Council adopted Metro’s strategic plan and service guidelines in July 2011.

Now, after several years’ use of the service guidelines in transit planning, the King County Council has asked Metro to form a new task force to further analyze how transit service is evaluated and allocated. Specifically, the Council asked the task force to review and make recommendations regarding:

1. How transit service performance is measured to reflect the varied purposes of different types of transit service.2. Approaches to evaluating how the goal of geographic value is included in the guidelines, including minimum service standards.3. Approaches to evaluating how the goal of social equity is included in the guidelines.4. Financial policies for purchase of additional services within a municipality or among multiple municipalities.5. Guidelines for alternative services implementation.

The Service Guidelines Task Force, comprised of 33 executive level participants, will do this work in the first

part of 2015 so that it can influence development of both Metro’s long-range plan, scheduled to be complete by mid-2016, and its service guidelines update, scheduled to be complete by April 2016.Chris O’claire - 206.477-5801 • [email protected]

Metro Long Range PlanWith King County growing fast, it’s time to lay the foundation for a public trans-portation system that moves more people and moves them better. What should our transit system look like in 25 years? How can we support our economy, our environ-ment, and the people who live here? How will Metro integrate with the expanding light rail system? These are the kind of questions that captured the imagination of civic leaders years ago, and their vision led to the public transportation system we rely on today. Now it’s time to imagine a new future.

Metro’s long range plan will present a shared vision for a future public transportation system that gets people where they want to go and helps our region thrive. The plan will describe an integrated network of transportation options, the facilities and tech-nology needed to support those services, and the financial requirements for building the system. It will be developed in close coordination with Sound Transit and other transportation agencies.

Over the next two years, Metro will work with transit riders, cities, community groups, and motorists to shape a long-range plan for meeting our region’s growing and changing public transportation needs.Chris O’claire - 206.477-5801 • [email protected]

Metro Transit Alternative Transit Service Study Metro’s Five Year Implementation Plan for Alternative Service Delivery has identi-fied a portion of SE King County & Maple Valley, including the SR-169 corridor, as a candidate area for a potential demonstration project.

vice would begin in March 2016. Doug Johnson - 206.477.5837 • [email protected]

Current Use Taxation The Public Benefit Rating System programs provide incentives to encourage land-owners to voluntarily conserve and protect land resources, open space, and timber. In return for preserving and managing resources, the land is assessed at a value con-sistent with its “current use” rather than the “highest and best use.” The reduction in assessed land value is greater than 50 percent and as much as 90 percent for the portion of the land participating in the program.http://www.kingcounty.gov/environment/stewardship/sustainable-building/re-source-protection-incentives.aspxBill Bernstein, 206.477.4643 • [email protected] or Megan Kim, 206-477-4788 [email protected]

King County Sheriff’s Office The King County Sheriff ’s Office consists of over 1,000 commissioned and professional staff employees who provide services to unincorporated King County. These services include reactive 9-1-1 patrol, search & rescue, undercover drug and gang enforcement, prop-erty crime investigations, homicide, assault, robbery and sexual assault investigations, as well as a variety of other services including concealed weapons licensing, fingerprinting, etc. Under Sheriff Urquhart’s leadership, the Sheriff ’s Office transitioned to a Precinct Model for deploying deputies beginning in 2013. This returned formal roll calls and gave sergeants the opportunity to work with their deputies on crime trends, protocol, procedure, and values. Deputies are now assigned to fairly consistent patrol areas. This allows them to become familiar with citizens, businesses, and residential areas in their assigned patrol districts. They are expected to build relationships and learn the particular problems in an area or neighborhood, as well as focus on crime trends.Precincts are referred to as Precincts #2, #3, & #4...or Northeast, Southeast, and Southwest, respectively. Precinct #2 is in Sammamish City Hall, Precinct #3 is in the Hicks Raburn Precinct building in Maple Valley, and Precinct #4 is in Burien.
