Republic Services will be the city of Sammamish’s sole solid waste provider in 2017.

At the Tuesday regular meeting, the Sammamish City Council unanimously awarded Republic Services the upcoming nine-year contract, which staff say

will save most residents between $1.04 and $9.87 each month.

The council was sched-uled to award the contract before the new year, but a temporary restraining order delayed council action. A King County Superior Court judge quashed that

restraining order Dec. 22, freeing the council to award the contract Tuesday.

A good thing, too, as the selected service provider would need at least one year to prepare for the 2017-2025 contract, which would unify the city with one solid waste service provider. Currently,

Republic Services caters to the southern portion of the Pla-teau and Waste Management serves the northern areas.

Waste Management, which filed the restrain-ing order Dec. 1, altered city forms to calculate its

Eagle Scout Lucas Tjom, 17, loads a tree in the back of a truck for the 31st annual Scouts Tree Drive Saturday. For the 31st annual Scouts Tree Drive, an estimated 150-200 Scouts from six troops based in Sammamish — troop 500, 509, 571, 596, 636 and 751 — hauled trees away from Plateau neighborhoods and the Issaquah Highlands, according to Allen Tantillo, the chair for the drive in Sammamish.

Tent City 4 returned to the High Point area east of Is-saquah Dec. 28, vacating Lake Sammamish State Park's Hans Jensen campsite after the state Parks and Rec-reation Commission declined to extend the homeless community's stay through early February.

Many of Tent City 4’s residents spent their last day in Hans Jensen setting up camp on Lovegren Road, directly off of Exit 20 on Interstate 90.

Tent City 4 previously moved to Lovegren Road in February, after managing organization SHARE/WHEEL failed to convince King County parks officials to let

The Issaquah and Sammamish councils elected their leadership and swore in their newest members this week.

The Issaquah City Council elected Stacy Goodman as council president and Mary Lou Pauly

as deputy council president by a unanimous show of hands Mon-day. Both were elected to the City Council in 2013; their terms expire at the end of 2017.

Three councilors — Paul Win-terstein, Bill Ramos and Jennifer Sutton — were sworn in at the Monday meeting, as well.

The Sammamish City Council

unanimously elected Don Gerend as mayor and Ramiro Valderrama-Aramayo as deputy mayor Tuesday.

Gerend, the longest sitting coun-cil member, has been on the coun-cil since the city incorporated in 1999. He’s been selected as the city’s mayor several times before. Ger-end, who will be up for re-election in 2017, will serve as mayor for the

next two years.Valderrama-Aramayo, first

elected to the council in 2011, has previously served as deputy mayor. He was re-elected to the council in the November 2015 election.

He and the other two elected in November 2015 — Tom Horn-ish and Christie Malchow — were sworn in at the Tuesday meeting.

service prices, which dismisses its bid as “non-responsive,” per the city’s request for bids instruc-tions sent out last year.

“One guy followed the rules; one guy did not,” Councilmember Tom Odell said at the Tuesday meeting.

More than that, the al-teration does not allow for an “apples-to-apples” compari-son of the two submitted bids, said Beth Goldberg, director of administrative services.

Waste Management adamantly claims it would save Sammamish residents millions during the nine-year contract. City staff say

there’s no way to prove this given the varying ways to calculate costs. Republic Services’ bid might be lower as well, using Waste Man-agement’s methodology, Goldberg said.

After a staff analysis, using the city’s original methodology, staff con-cluded Waste Management had underrepresented its bid price by more than $180,000. (A similar review showed Republic had a $10 math error, which staff also corrected.) This correction brought Waste Manage-ment’s bid up to $723,848 and Republic Services’ bid to $714,675.

“Even if we had deemed the bid responsive they would have not been the

lowest bid,” Goldberg said.Additionally, Waste Man-

agement had sent the city six contact modifications to its bid, which is permitted under the request for bids in-structions. However, staff say the service provider never explained the cost ramifica-tions to those revisions.

“There are two things at play with these contract moderations,” Goldberg said. “First, they degrade the level of service that we want to offer .... Secondly, we do believe there are cost ramifications, although we are not able to quantify them because Waste Man-agement did not supply that information.”

Some of the added lan-guage Waste Management proposed would eliminate crediting the customer for missed pickups; it would not ensure next-day pickup for missed collections; and it would extend the length of time (up to seven days) for the hauler to respond to a missed pickup, according to Goldberg’s presentation.

“You can’t quantify those changes,” freshly elected Mayor Don Gerend said. “That makes it difficult.”

The council deliberated after a 45-minute executive session regarding the litiga-tion and Goldberg’s staff presentation.

Ultimately, the seven-member council agreed with Goldberg’s assessment and awarded the contract to Republic.

A quorum of the Is-saquah City Council on Dec. 21 authorized lower speed limits on two roads.

Beginning Jan. 5, East Lake Sammamish Parkway Southeast from 229th Av-enue Southeast to Southeast 56th Street will be lowered to 35 mph, from 40 mph. West Lake Sammamish Parkway Southeast from 193rd Place Southeast to Bellevue city

limits will be lowered to 30 mph, from 35 mph.

The council did not authorize a third proposal to lower the speed limit on Front Street South.

Councilmember Joshua Schaer, voting in his last council meeting, expressed dismay at lowering speed limits without budgeting for commensurate enforce-ment by Issaquah police.

“A sign, by itself, has no teeth,” Schaer said. “A sign, by itself, can be disregarded.”


What better way to start 2016 than by running 3.5 miles and jumping into Pine Lake in Sammamish?

That’s exactly what a group of about 20 Sammamish residents did Friday to welcome in the new year. This is the third year residents have participated in the Pine Lake polar bear plunge and run, a community-orga-nized event, starting around 11 a.m.

“It’s just for fun,” Sammamish resident John Candaux said. Candaux, the videographer for this year’s plunge, said it was about 30 degrees outside. After the run, people, including Candaux’ son, jumped into the surely frigid lake. “They just kind of jump in as their courage permits,” he said.

them take up residence in Cougar/Squak Corridor Park — which was, at that time, under construction.

The February move to Lovegren Road, like the current move, was accomplished on short notice and without an official permit. The land is owned by King County.

Elizabeth Maupin, a volunteer for the Issaquah Sammamish Interfaith Coalition who has worked on behalf of Tent City residents on several occasions in the past, said she quickly put out a call for volunteers to help residents break down the remains of their Hans Jensen camp.

"Our local parks people have been really nice about making this possible," Maupin said, by giving Tent City 4 time beyond Dec. 28 to move their property out of Hans Jensen.

But she said Lake Sammamish State Parks officials had shown more under-standing than their state-level counterparts.

Washington State Parks agreed to host Tent City 4 at Hans Jensen beginning Nov. 15. Leaders from the camp and organizing nonprofit SHARE/WHEEL requested to stay until Feb. 6, the date of a planned move to Mary, Queen of Peace Catholic Church.

But a representative of the Parks Com-mission, a volunteer advisory group for Washington State Parks, notified camp co-ordinator SHARE/WHEEL on Dec. 21 that the camp could only have one more week. The representative cited agency regulations limiting camping time to 40 days, as well

as conflicts with upcoming winter projects and events.

Dick Gram, a Sammamish resident and co-chair of the missions team at Faith United Methodist Church, said that by timing its notice days before Christmas, the Commission left no room for discussion between camp residents and state officials who had left on holiday. Gram protested the circumstances and reasons for the Commission's notice in a recent letter to Gov. Jay Inslee.

"... these are good people at Tent City 4, many of whom are employed," Gram wrote. "They were model citizens while at our church [in spring 2014] and will be invited back again."

Gram said that Sammamish city law prevents Tent City 4 from staying at Faith United immediately before its move to Mary, Queen of Peace.

The city's homeless encampment ordi-nance, adopted by the Sammamish City Council in July 2014, allows camps to set up inside city limits no more than once per year.

Jan Bennett, another Faith United member and volunteer, said Tent City 4’s residents “worked very hard for the church” during their stay.

At a Dec. 30 community meeting held at Mary, Queen of Peace, Bennett asked if the residents’ helpfulness would continue at the parish.

“Yes it will,” Roberson said. “We will help in any way we can.”

Tent City 4 previously stayed on Mary, Queen of Peace’s property from Oct. 2013 to Jan. 2014. It was the camp’s first stay in

Sammamish, a stay which camp and parish leaders agreed was troubled but positive overall.

Sammamish police were called to the church 30 times during the three-month stay and arrested one man at the camp for possession of methamphetamine, said Sgt. Frances Carlson, representing Sammamish Police Chief Nate Elledge at the meeting. However, she noted that half the calls were made by Tent City 4 leaders themselves and overall crime did not rise in the neighbor-hood. The camp ejected eight residents

following the drug investigation.The Rev. Kevin Duggan said conversa-

tions about “tightening up the ship” during a second stay were a major part of negotia-tions with Tent City 4. But he was quick to defend the camp against accusations that crime was “prevalent” during their first stay and reiterated the church’s duty to provide help to neighbors in need.

“The parish was very hurt by what hap-pened,” Duggan said. “But the people of Tent City 4, they were harmed also.”

The city of Issaquah has won two awards from the City-County Commu-nications and Marketing Association for its staff ’s promotional work.

The city’s Sasquatch-based “Legendary Is-saquah” tourism campaign won a first-place Savvy Award for Best Promo-

tional Video from the association, also known as 3CMA.

“Legendary Issaquah,” three commercials produced by city-owned channel ICTV 21 over the summer of 2014 and released November of the same year, featured elusive cryptozoological wonder Bigfoot visiting tour-ism destinations around Issaquah like Village The-

atre, Poo-Poo Point and Salmon Days.

The video came out ahead of videos from Wheat Ridge, Colorado, and Farmers Branch, Texas, as judged by a panel of professionals in the fields of marketing, communications and local government.

Judges comments pegged the video as “awesome” and “superb,”

particularly praising the videos’ cinematography and editing.

The city also won a third-place Award of Excellence for its web-site, coming in behind Goodyear, Arizona, and first-place winner Erie, Colorado.

“Thank you to our communications team for their outstanding work to engage with our commu-nity in such innovative and creative ways,” Mayor Fred Butler said after announc-ing the awards Dec. 21.

The lone returning starter for the Eastlake Wolves basketball team during the 2015-16 season transformed his game during the off-season with a tireless work ethic.

The results have paid dividends for Wolves senior for-ward Ethan Thompson. Thompson, who is the Wolves second tallest listed player at 6-feet, 4-inches, thrives in the post and on the perimeter for his team. He said his favorite move in the paint is the jump hook.

“I like to do whatever is working. If I’m doing well on the inside I’m going to just stay on the inside and if I’m doing well and feeling good on the outside I can stay out there too. Which ever one I’m feeling better at I will just stick with that,” Thompson said. “It works well that way.”

The senior forward isn’t the most boisterous player in the world but enjoys being the elder-statesman on the roster.

“I would say I should be a little more vocal. I still get on my guys every once in awhile but I’m probably a more lead-by-example type of guy,” he said. “I love being able to lead my guys.”

Eastlake head coach Steve Kramer said Thompson has developed his game immensely over the past 18 months. When Kramer first saw Thompson play he didn’t venture far from the friendly confines of the paint.

It isn’t true anymore. “He has worked so hard in the offseason on his ball-

handling and perimeter shooting. He has become faster and more agile. He really wants to play at that next level and has developed a pretty good all-around game,” Kramer said. “He is a captain and does everything we ask him to do.”

The Wolves, who are currently struggling with an overall record of 3-7, are striving to reach their goal of clinching a berth in the playoffs in February.

“We just want to make it there and then go as far as we can,” Thompson said.

Recently the Issaquah/Sammamish Reporter had an opportunity to ask Thompson a few questions about his life away from the basketball court.

Issaquah Reporter: What is your favorite movie of all time?

Ethan Thompson: Star Wars 7: The Force Awakens.

IR: What is your biggest pet peeve?ET: When stupid people think they are smart. That

sounds really petty but it’s my biggest pet peeve.

IR: What is your favorite eatery in Sammamish?ET: Mod Pizza. You can make your favorite pizza in

the world there.

IR: What is something unique about you that nobody would know?

ET: I was an all-state singer as a middle schooler. My family always sings. It is what our family does. I love to do it.

IR: How many text messages do you send per day?ET: I probably send 50 per day.

IR: Who was your idol growing up? ET: Lebron James. He is the greatest basketball player

of all time and he is a super cool guy too.

Shaun Scott, Issaquah/Sammamish Reporter

Eastlake Wolves senior forward Ethan Thompson is a force in the paint and on the perimeter for his squad. Thompson is the only returning starter from last year’s team during the 2015-16 season.

SHOW YOUR 12’S SPIRIT EVERY FRIDAY IN JANUARY425.802.7306 ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM


BY SHAUN SCOTTISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

A little more than two and a half months ago it appeared the Seattle Seahawks Super Bowl aspirations were doomed.

They had just suffered their fourth loss of the 2015 season, courtesy of a 27-23 home defeat to the Carolina Panthers on Oct. 18 leaving the Seahawks with a meager 2-4 overall record. Ironically enough, I was in attendance at the game as a fan with my best friend Tom Winslow. Our seats, which were situated in the first row of the 300 level at CenturyLink Field close to the 40-yard-line, gave us a perfect view of the playing surface. We couldn’t believe our eyes when Carolina quarterback Cam Newton connected with tight end Greg Olsen on a 27-yard touch-down pass for the go-ahead touchdown in the final minute of regulation.

Since the setback against Carolina, Seattle won eight of their final 10 regular season games clinching the No. 6 seed in the NFC playoffs. The Seahawks are peaking at the right time and are dominating their op-ponents in every facet of the game. Even though the Kansas City Chiefs have won 10 consecutive games, the Seahawks are the hottest team in the National Football League right now in my opinion. Seahawks fourth-year quarterback Russell Wilson turned in a most valuable player worthy caliber season as his team’s signal caller. Wilson threw for 34 touchdowns and a mere eight interceptions. He also passed for 4,024 yards and ran for 553 yards as well. Seahawks’ wide receiver

Doug Baldwin had the best season of his ca-reer with 78 catches for 1,069 yards receiving and 14 touchdown receptions. In the season finale, the Seahawks stifling defense sur-rendered just six points in a convincing 36-6 triumph against the Arizona Cardinals on Jan. 3. For the fourth consecutive season, the Seahawks defense allowed the fewest points in the NFL surrendering a total of 277 points in 16 games. The passing game is rolling, the defense is dominating and one of most esteemed players in Seahawks history will be making a triumphant return to the lineup just in time for the playoffs.

Seahawks’ running back Marshawn Lynch, who has missed the past eight games with an abdominal injury, is scheduled to play in the Seahawks’ wildcard playoff game at 10 a.m. on Jan. 10 on the road against the Minnesota Vikings. Lynch is the most physical runner in the NFL. His return to the lineup will not only make a huge difference on the field due to his steady production, but will be a spirited emotional lift for the entire team to see one of the most well-liked players on the roster in the huddle once again. The Seahawks are just three wins away from their third consecutive Super Bowl appearance and are four wins away from hoisting the Lombardi Trophy for the second time in three seasons. The road to a Super Bowl title is going to be formi-dable (three possible road games in the NFC playoffs), but if the Seahawks do indeed reach their goal of winning Super Bowl 50 they will undoubtedly be crowned as a dynasty. The NFL playoffs have arrived and the Seahawks are clicking on all cylinders.
