SIP #2023-05: Grant County Port District #4 (requested $779,000 grant) Coulee City Medical Clinic Applicant: Port of Coulee City Recommendation: The committee voted to recommend a $779,000 grant for the Port of Coulee City to build their new medical clinic. Construction of this new medical clinic facility will retain the clinic operations within the community of Coulee City and allow for expansion of its services. This will both retain existing medical field jobs, and help to promote new jobs tied to the expansion of services and bring new jobs to the community. In addition, this project will help the town's tax base increase which will result in increase funding for other public services and programs. This project will also benefit the citizens of the surrounding Grant County communities, giving them an option for accessible and affordable healthcare. This growth will be available for current users and help recruit new industries into this area. The committee views this as a vital step for the continued growth and economic stability of Coulee City. This will also make the area more attractive to investors and companies looking at this area. The recommendations were given a motion by Scott Hunter and seconded by Corrine Isaak. The remaining committee voted in unanimous favor of the recommendation.

How will this project foster economic growth, development, and address future economic needs?

Additionally, the Town's tax base will increase as a result of the new Medical Clinic, which will provide more local funding to public services such as schools and public works projects. In addition to public funding and immediate job creation, this project will also develop future jobs and economic growth. A successful Medical Clinic will draw the attention of other potential developers and will attract new businesses and industries to the community knowing that medical facilities are available in Coulee City. 3.

Please submit original, signed application with seven copies (gLqht copigs.,total ) to: Grant County EDC, 6594 Patton Blvd. NE; Moses Lake,, WA 98837; Phone: 509-764-6579 Please include attachments and supplemental materials in each of the copies Grant County Strategic Infrastructure Program Application Project Readiness I 1. When did or will you start work on the project? In 2015, the Commissioners of the Port of Coulee City (Grant County Port District No. 4) elected to purchase property at the northeast corner of West Main Street and North Third Street for a new Medical Clinic. This clinic will replace the existing, aging, undersized, and out of date Medical Clinic in the northeast sector of the community. Originally the new Medical Clinic was to be approximately 4,,660 square feet and included examination rooms; treatment rooms; a laboratory; offices for counselors; doctors; nurse's stations, and a conference room. Since the original design plan was completed and the apparent increase in the construction costs, the Port and the Town decided it would be best to decrease the size of the medical facility and pair the building with a Library to reduce costs of construction. The newly designed medical facility space will now be approximately 2,,040 Square Feet in size. The new, better equipped medical clinic in Coulee City will work in conjunction with the Coulee Medical Center in Grand Coulee, Grant County Mental Health, and Coulee Chiropractic to provide a hub and spoke system of care, including transitioning of care,, education, and direct referrals when needed. This will allow a patient diagnosed in Grand Coulee to receive testing, checkups, and other medical needs ds in Coulee City. This can be especially important for the elderly who are not as mobile and for everyone during winter months when weather and darkness can cause accidents or delay travel. Through these partnerships the clinic can also expand to include physical therapy, podiatry, monthly eye care, specialty dental services, WIC, and well -baby services. Phase 1 of the project,, which occurred between 2015 and 2017, included predesign efforts, review of potential funding sources, purchase of the property, clearing of the site, and a detailed topographic survey In anticipation of design services. Phase 2 of the project included design and permitting of the new Medical Clinic, Phase 3 of the project is currently in the beginning stages. The port conducted a formal bid process on the project and the lowest, qualified bidder was selected. Phase 3 of the project will consist of construction and equipping of the new Medical Clinic, which will likely occur in 2024. The scope of the construction of the building is dependent an award of the additional funding needed to fully complete the needed "tenant improvements for the facility. If the funding is not acquired for these improvements, then an empty building will be constructed in 2024 with only a finished parking area until the additional funding can be acquired. 2. How many months will the work on this project take to complete? 6-8 This phase? 6-8 3. Please describe what steps are necessary to begin this project or this phase if you are proposing a multi- phase project: (Please be specific) • Receive iadditional grant funding • Complete construction and equipping of new Medical Clinic. 4. Summarize efforts taken to date in terms of project funding: Please submit original, signed application with seven copies (eiq tcopie5 total) to: Grant County EDC, 6594 Patton Blvd. NE; Moses Lake, WA 98837; Phone: 509-764-6579 Please include attachments and supplemental materials in each of the copies uraGr-nt County Strategic Infrastructure Program Application construction phase is in progress and the majority of the funds have been secured through the Grant i County Strategic Infrastructure Program and Legislative Appropriations. The new Medical Clinic may enable the medical professionals that occupy the existing Clinic, the Coulee Medical Center,, Grant County Mental Health, and Coulee Chiropractic, to expand and bring in a physical therapist, a podiatrist, monthly eye care, dental services, WIC, and well baby services. It is anticipated that once the new Medical Clinic is operational, the number of patient visits will increase considerably from over 200 appointments per month to over 300 appointments per month, 8. If your project receives a commitment for an SIP grant or loan, when will you need the funds? If funded, construction of the new Medical Clinic tenant improvements could begin within one month after funds become available. 9. Identify funds (General Fund, Utility Fund,, Property taxes, etc.) that are eligible to repay a SIP loan. The Port's General Fund would be the source of repayment of an SIP loan. However, the Port is showing its commitment to this project by providing $125N,000 of its own funds; therefore, the Port would be unable to repay an SIP loan at this time, 10. In the context of the local government's overall annual budget, explain the need for SIP assistance. It the applicant has reserve funds or budget reserves, please explain why these funds are not available for the project. As the Port seeks additional local, state, and federal funds to complete the new Medical Clinic, the Port realizes that additional matching funds may be required in order to make this project attractive to various funding agencies. The Port plans to use existing funds to provide the local matches for these various funding agencies. As such, the PoWs reserve funds will not be available for funding the new Medical Clinic.

I Policy ED,1.1: The Town will maintain the sewer system at a level of capacity at which it will serve the existing needs and be prepared to serve additional users as projected in the comprehensive plan. The Town will continue to pursue funding mechanisms to expand the sewer system. Policy ED 1.2: The Town will maintain a capital facilities improvement program and a long range public facilities and services plan that will allow for the provision of appropriate public facilities and services to commercial, industrial and residential lands beyond the immediate planning period. Policy ED 1.3: The Town will protect or acquire water rights and maintain the ability to provide water to meet all projected residential, commercial and industrial needs. Policy ED 1.4: The Town will establish funding priorities for future infrastructure projects to further economic development. Policy ED IS: The Town will prioritize geociraphical areas for 'Infrastructure 1 geographical expenditures and invest in public 'Infrastructure in a timely way that supports economic development. Policy ED 1.6: The Town will identify new funding mechanisms and spread infrastructure costs over time to minimize up -front costs. GOAL ED 2: Improve communication between different interests in the community by participation in a variety of efforts to guide a downtown revitalization program and address issues related to economic growth and development. 53 Policy ED 3.2: The Town will explore opportunities to support the development of a community center. Policy ED 3.3: The Town will acquire property as funding is available to accommodate recreational and tourism needs. Policy ED 3.4 The Town will develop ordinances to define maintenance standards for streets, water,, sewer, and sidewalks. Policy ED 3.5 The Town will consider strategies to support and expand recreational vehicle, camping and other tourist facilities XIV Parks and.Recreation Element The purpose of this element is to identify and designate existing open space areas, determine future needs, develop a plan to meet those future needs and define goals. In addition, policies and objectives are included to protect and maintain planned open space areas. The Growth Management Act specifies that the community encourage the retention of open space and development of recreational opportunities, conserve fish and wildlife habitat, 'increase access to natural resource lands and water, and develop parks. Recent trends impart a new urgency to planning for open spaces, if residents are to continue to enjoy their benefits in the future. Lands which have historically functioneq as informal open space -the vacant lots next door- are being rapidly developed. At the same time, changing lifestyles and the desire for increased activities,. together with a growing retirement -age population, have placed increased demands on existing parks, open spaces, and recreational lands. To maximize the benefit of open space lands, the Town should seek a meaningful system of open space. The system should consist of a complementary set of parks and open spaces which, when considered together, meet the needs of a full range of community interests. Emphasizing the importance of establishing an open space system, the Coulee City Open Space and Recreation Plan places high priority on protecting lands which can physically and functionally link other open 55 1111111q�iiq�pq�pi 11111111111 111111 it IF V . ,w submittedby ShirleyRae Maes, Mayor � 111111q �ll, : It IM•li, Estimated cost of the project: $1,400,000 Description of the project: Add new restroom/shower facility, Camping utility services, sewer lift station, and new announcer booth and sound system.

The existing clinic is undersized, over utilized, and very outdated. The new Medical Clinic would resolve many challenges within the community by providing up-to-date medical services in- cluding services for the elderly and low income which is prominent in the area; creating new jobs that are not related to agriculture; and invest income back into the community. The current Library is in an outdated building that is not ADA accessible and is owned privately so improvements have not been made nor will be made. This project is a very unique as a whole as earlier this year I brought the idea to the Port District what if we could combine our much needed projects instead of competing to get them funded. The question was then asked of Com- merce who indeed give it their blessing. SIP Funds could help make this new idea a reality and possibly encourage other smaller communities to think outside the box to provide services for their communities in new creative ways. The Library side will not only continue to serve the area but encourage an increase of patrons and use as it will not only be ADA accessible but will attract clients to the aesthetically pleasing layout. The Port of Coulee Ciiy is dedicated to creating a dynamic and robust opportunity to invigorate the health of the community and econony of Coulee City and outlying areas, through the construction of a new clinic. The new proposed larger and better equipped medical clinic would work in conjunction with The Coulee Medical Center in Grand Coulee and Grant County Mental Health to provide a hub and spoke system of care, including transitioning of care, education, and direct referrals when needed. This will allow a patient diagnosed in Grand Coulee and other sur- rounding areas to receive testing, checkups, and other medical needs in Coulee City The new Coulee City Medical Clinic would continue serve the rural population of Coulee City and the surrounding area, an estimated 500 square mile area and act as a lifeline for many of the elderly community members who call Grant County home, The new medical clinic will be especially important for the elderly who are not as mobile and for everyone during winter months when weather and darkness can cause accidents or delay travel. It would also benefit the agricultur- al community with easy access to quick care during the busy season not to mention be a plus for the tourists who frequent the area. Through the new medical clinic partnerships to expand services are available to include mental health, physical therapy, podiatry, monthly eye care, specialty dental services, WIC, and well -baby services, chiro- practic; all services that are greatly needed in the area. Because the current clinic is too small, understaffed, and out- dated to support the areas' current needs it leads to long wait times and difficulty getting appointments, only adding to the daunting prospect of seeking care. The new Coulee City Clinic will be more able to provide patients with the medical care they need, when they need it. The new Clinic and the Library will in turn attract new businesses and industries to the area, which in turn would spur economic development and diversity within the Coulee City region. I myself have a personal interest in seeing this new clinic built as I have lived here most of my life and have served my community as a councilwoman and mayor since 2002. 1 have been an in-home care provider in our area for over 20 years and an up-to-date facility is a great need. I currently work in the current medical clinic as Maintenance and Environmental Services Tech. The challenges of taking care of this outdated facility are dealt with monthly. It is a World War It era building that needs so much work from updated electrical, plumbing, and flooring, to more exam rooms and updated restrooms. It would serve the community better to not invest money into a building of this age and instead start new. I am also a loyal patron of the library which too needs so inuch work in its building that from flooring to ADA doors and restroom. Your consideration of the Port's funding request is greatly appreciated.

The kinds of amendments identified herein may include: 0 Urban Growth Area Boundary Changes; 0 Plan policy or text changes; 0 Plan Map changes; 0 Supporting document changes; emergency amendments; and 0 Site-specific amendments; and, WHEREAS, policy amendments may be initiated by the County or by other entities, organizations or individuals through petition; and, WHEREAS, petitions were received on forms provided by the Department, containing appropriate maps showing the proposed change and addressing the policy or map evaluation criteria as described in the Comprehensive Plan; and, WHEREAS, On May 3, 2022, the Board of County Commissioners directed staff to initiate the SEPA review process and schedule each of the complete amendments proposed, along with staff recommendations before the Planning Commission for public hearing; and, WHEREAS, public hearings were conducted by the Planning Commission onAugust 24 and August 25, 2022, to hear staff recommendations and take public testimony on each of the proposed amendments to the Grant County Comprehensive Plan and proposed Zone Changes; making recommendations and listing Findings of Fact on each amendment and zone change; and, WHEREAS, the Planning Commission staff reports., and recommendations are made a part of the record of this public hearing as it relates to SEPA and the attached amendments and zone changes; and, WHEREAS, a non -project proposal to consider adoption of amendments to the Comprehensive Plan, including site-specific land use designation changes, changes to various Urban Growth Areas were considered, as well as associated Zone Changes: and, WHEREAS, copies of the SEPA DNS were distributed to agencies, organizations and individuals listed on. the Planning Department distribution list and requesting that comments be submitted in accordance with WAC 197-11-340 (2); and, Grant County Board of County Commissioners Grant County Comprehensive Plan Amendment Resolution for the Year 2022 2 ATTACHMENT "A" GRANT COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS 2022 FINDINGS OF FACT Section I — General Findings 1.1 Grant County has experienced and will continue to experience population growth and accompanying development, resulting in competing demands for public facilities, services and land uses, and is required to prepare and adopt amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and land use regulations pursuant to the Growth Management Act. 1.2 Growth Management requires that land be managed properly and wisely. Otherwise meeting the demands of a rapidly growing county population is likely to cause urban and suburban sprawl, commercial strip development, development at inappropriate locations and densities, damage to environmentally sensitive areas, and the loss of natural resource lands, rural character, open space, and critical areas. Also, this pattern of development is likely to create demands for urban services and -utilities that are insufficient to support their extension in a cost-effective manner. 1.3 The 2022 Comprehensive Plan amendment process responds to the environmental concerns raised during the public hearing process, while protecting property owners from unconstitutional takings and substantive due process violations. 1.4 RCW 36.70A.020 sets for a list of 13 goals "to guide the development and adoption of comprehensive plans and development regulations." In the amendment public hearing process, and these findings of fact, the Planning Commission and Board of County Commissioners considered the 13 Growth Management Goals, weighed them as they apply to the subject matter of these findings, and has attempted to achieve a reasoned balance among them. Section 2 - Public Participation 1 2.1 Petitions received by the Planning Department were reviewed by the Board of County Commissioners, and the Board directed the Planning Department to proceed with further review of the petitions and to prepare environmental documentation consistent with the requirements of RCW 43.21 C and Grant County Code Chapter 24.04 (SEPA). 2.2 In accordance with Grant County Unified Development Code Chapter 25.12 -- Legislative Actions, the Planning Commission held public hearings on August 24 and August 25, 2022, at which time testimony was taken from interested agencies, organizations, and individual citizens, regarding the proposed amendments and zone changes. Attachment "A" Grant County Comprehensive Plan Amendment 2022 General Findings of Fact (h) The change. is consistent with the purpose and intent of the Comprehensive Plan and the reqairement s of Grant County Code Titles 22, 23, 24, and 25; and (i) The change complies with all other applicable criteria and standards of Grant County Unified Development Code Chapter 25.12 Section 4 — Board of County Commissioners Final Recommendations And/or Actions 4.1 Recorded motions. by the Board of County Conumissioners for each proposed comprehensive plan amendment and Findings of Fact are listed in Attachment "B" 4.2 Recorded motions by the Board of County Commissioners for each proposed zone change and Findings of Fact are listed in Attachment "B" 4.3 Supporting Findings of Fact for each decision were identified under Section 3 as detailed above, unless -otherwise noted in the record of the Board of County Commissioners. 4.4 Detailed applications along with supporting documentation and staff reports are made a part of this recommendation. Attachment "A" Grant County Comprehensive Plan Amendment 2022 General Findings of Fact 4) The public interest will he served by the proposed amendments; 5) Appropriate notice has been given to the Washington State Department of Commerce Growth Management Services in accordance with RCW 36.70A..106; 6) The proposed amendments are consistent with applicable portions of RCW 36.70B; and 7) The Planning Commission authorizes staff to make necessary language revisions to make the Code relevant.

Additionally, they request funding for two (2) engineering related projects that are essential to the overall plan for development of existing and new facilities and services to meet community needs. McKay's current facilities are outdated and need to be modernized to accommodate more single rooms for privacy and infection control. This modernization effort may also include the development of new facilities to accommodate existing and expanded services. McKay anticipates the new and renovated facilities will provide as many as 20 full time temporary jobs during the initial construction period. After that, McKay Healthcare anticipates as many as 10-15 new full time permanent jobs could be created if the modernization plans for McKay can be completed. This project will also support ongoing operations and retain the existing 48 employees at McKay Healthcare during construction. These new jobs would expand employment beyond agriculture by providing a range of healthcare services for a growing senior population. Over the next several years, the total project cost will reflect an investment in excess of $1,000,000 annually in the community. The McKay Foundation with the support of the Columbia Basin Foundation has successfully raised funds to complete many of the Phase I capital projects stated in McKay"s Facility Master Plan. These new projects, facilities and services will attract new businesses and industries to the area, which in turn will spur economic development and diversity within a part of Grant County that has been sadly overlool<ed-, heir request for additional funding is greatly appreciated. :endent CREATE INSPIWE SUPPORT Ci9tivatingmembers ofa global community i. believe in tbeirabiMtr to SUCCEED The McKay Foundation and theColumbia Basin Foundation, with the critical support of the Strategic Infrastructure Program (SIP) have successfully funded other capital. projects in McKay"s Facility Master Plan.
