Community Development Block Grant (ADA Improvements from Issaquah Senior Center to Issaquah Community Center)
AB 8170
In 2013 the City performed an evaluation of curb ramps, sidewalk, Accessible Pedestrian Signals (APS) and push buttons, and on-street accessible parking spaces to identify features within the public right-of-way that was not compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Following the evaluation an ADA Transition Plan was prepared. The ADA Transition plan established priority criterion for meeting compliance that included routes of travel of pedestrians with disabilities serving organizations and facilities, such as the Senior Center and proximity to medication facilities, public transit stops, City Hall, libraries, parks and recreation facilities and schools.
In 2020, the City Council approved the professional services agreement with BHC Consultants, in the amount of $199,900 to complete the Sewer Master Plan (Plan). The Plan is a City-wide plan to evaluate the City's sewer conveyance system, identify code and policy changes relating to private septic system use, and prioritize a list of sewer infrastructure improvements and programs to be implemented within a 20-year time frame to address impacts due to aging infrastructure, infiltration and intrusion into the sewer conveyance system, and support forecasted growth and development in the City. The goal is to complete the Plan and and have it adopted by the second quarter of 2023.
The City's authority to impose a property tax is derived from the Washington State Constitution and described in the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) Chapters 84.52 and 84.55. The revenues from property tax are considered general government revenues. That means that this money is placed in the General Fund and can be used for any basic governmental service or goods such as public safety, planning, parks, or administration.

Amending Chapter 9.40 IMC, re: Criminalizing Vehicle Trespass and the Making or Possession of Motor Vehicle Theft Tools
AB 8476
The City's criminal code is contained in Title 9 of the IMC, with property crimes consolidated in Chapter 9.40 IMC. The City has adopted many state statutes throughout its criminal code, including the making or possession of burglar tools; however, RCW 9A.56.063, prohibiting the making or possession of vehicle theft tools and penalizing the same as a gross misdemeanor, has not yet been adopted by reference. Further, while many cities throughout the region have adopted code provisions prohibiting "vehicle trespass," Issaquah has yet to enact such a regulation.
