City Administrator McFall announced that he had received a letter on July 1 on behalf of the owner which raised legal questions regarding the proposed zoning ordinance . He requested that this item be continued for two weeks to allow time to review and research the issues raised. WOODS SO MOVED. Houser seconded and the motion carried. REZONE APPEAL Van Doren's Landing II Rezone Appeal. This date has been established as the hearing date to con- sider an appeal of the Hearing Examiner ' s denial of Van Doren' s Landing — rezone No. RZ-88-2 . The request is to rezone 7 . 1 acres from M1 ( Industrial Park) to M1 -C ( Industrial Park, Commercial Suffix ) . The property is located on the south side of South 212th Street approximately 1200 feet west of West Valley Highway. Greg McCormick of the Planning Department noted that the West Valley Study was completed in 1986 and the Council adopted an ordinance which would allow for M1 -C zoning. This zoning would allow for commercial nodes at major intersections of West Valley Highway at 180th, 212th and 228th. Two requests for rezones to the M1 -C designation have been received. The Green River Square rezone was approved, consisting of 34 acres on the south- west corner of S. 212th and West Valley Highway for such purposes as hotel, restaurant, and auto- mobile service center. The public hearing was declared open by Mayor Kelleher. Ted Knapp of Union Pacific Realty Company referred to his letter of appeal which has been distributed to the Council and has been made a part of the record. He stated that the West Valley Study had suggested that retail uses be allowed and that the zoning code had then been amended to allow retail nodes on West Valley Highway at S. 180th, S. 212th, and S. 228th. The property proposed for rezone by Union Pacific Realty is 1200 feet west of the West Valley Highway and is outside the "C-circle" shown for the intersection. Knapp pointed out that the "circles"were not intended to limit the boundaries for the "C" zoning and that the Hearing Examiner had confirmed this. Other developments have extended 4 - July 5, 1988 REZONE APPEAL beyond the "circles" . He showed slides of the area containing existing development and various proposals which might be included in future develop- ment. He confirmed for Mann that Union Pacific was aware that the City ' s lagoon was to be retained as a wildlife habitat and supported that concept. Knapp noted that the appeal is based upon errors in the interpretation of the Comprehensive Plan and pointed out that support services such as a hotel and restaurant were needed for the industrial area. He pointed out that parts of the node at S . 180th are in Tukwila and Renton, that three quad- rants of the S. 228th node are already developed and that the largest "C" node is at the S. 212th intersection. Knapp stated that the Green River Square project extended beyond the "circle" and that Union Pacific is asking for the same thing. He clarified for Mann that a letter of intent had been signed by a hotel. Carol Stoner stated that the Green River Study Group had been involved in preservation of wildlife areas since 1970 and wanted it made clear that the City' s lagoon would be so preserved. Chris Crumbaugh of Corporate Property Investors , owners of Green River Square, spoke in favor of the Hearing Examiner ' s recommendation to deny the rezone, stating that the property was 1 /4 mile away from the "C" node and would spread the commercial zoning along S. 212th. He opined that approval of the U P Realty proposal would require a change in the Comprehensive Plan. Knapp agreed with Stoner ' s concern about the lagoon and noted further that the proposed development would be 700 feet from the lagoon. In response to Crumbaugh ' s statement, he noted that U P had no intention of having strip commmercial zoning on S. 212th. JOHNSON MOVED to continue the hearing to the July 19 meeting to allow time to study the issues raised. Woods seconded. Dowell commented that the issue was whether the Hearing Examiner ' s recommendation to deny was correct. The motion then carried. 5 - July 5, 1988 FIRE DEPARTMENT North End Fire Station and Maintenance Facility. Nine bids were opened on June 30 at 5: 30 p.m. BITEMAN MOVED that the bid for the North Industrial Fire Station and Maintenance Center to include Alternates 1 , 2, 4 , 5, 7 , 8, 9, 10, 11 and 13 in the amount of $1 , 644, 298.29 be awarded to Mar Jon Construction, and further that the Mayor be author- ized to sign the contractual agreement for construc- tion services. Chief Angelo noted that the bids were higher than expected, but that by strong manage- ment of the financial resources, the project could be brought in within budget and he therefore recom- mended approval. Houser seconded and the motion carried. PERSONNEL (CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM 3G) Workers Compensation Claims Administration. AUTHOR- IZATION for the Mayor to sign a Professional Ser- vices Agreement with Scott Wetzel Services, Inc. , for Workers Compensation Claims Administration. This is an annual review of our existing agreement. FINANCE ( CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM 3D) Interim Financing Authorization - Golf Course. Golf Course AUTHORIZATION to increase the interim financing loan from the City' s General Fund to the golf course. Original anticipation with the establish- ment of the loan amount to a maximum of $1 , 000, 000 was that the bonds would be sold early in 1988 . Presently bonds are anticipated for sale in late July with the City receiving the proceeds in August . Interim financing is requested to be authorized to the maximum of bond authorization, approximately $5 , 250, 000 . The City is not anticipating using this maximum authorization but it is established so that reauthorization will not be needed. In this interim period the City is actually benefited by being able to finance interim construction at a lower short-term interest rate as opposed to the higher long term bond rate. (CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM 3B) Approval of Bills. APPROVAL of payment of the bills received through July 7 , 1988 after auditing by the Operations Committee at its meeting at 8: 30 a.m. on July 15 , 1988. Approval of checks issued for vouchers: D,ite Chem_ Numbers Amount 6/9 - 6/15 60 1 ] - 61717 ... 6/16 - 6/27 62030 - 62059 $ 167, 6.

AUTHORI- ZATION has been requested for the Mayor to sign a contract with Rabanco dba Kent Disposal for resi- dential recycling services for a period not to exceed 18 months from the date of execution of the contract. Rabanco will provide residential recycl- ing services to all voluntarily participating single family households and multifamily households up to fourplexes . Service will be provided at no cost to the participant. Cost of the program will be paid by the City of Kent through its Environmental Mitigation Fund which is financed through utility taxes levied on garbage collection service. M Houser noted that information had been received that the WUTC had issued a ruling regarding the franchises for garbage hauling within the City of Kent. She noted that there had not been time to study the ruling or to see what kind of impact it might have on the recycling contract. She MOVED -- to authorize the Mayor to sign the contract, sub- ject to review by the City Attorney and the City Administrator. Biteman seconded. Upon questions , McFall clarified that the cost of subsidizing this program would be more than $5, 000 per month, esti- mated to be between $60 , 000 and $70 , 000 per year depending upon how many volunteers participate . There would not be a $1 . 00 credit on the monthly utility bill , but curbside pick up of recyclables will make it easy to participate. He pointed out that those customers who recycle might be able to take advantage of new WUTC rates for smaller garbage containers. He clarified that there would be no additional charge for the recycling container. A copy of the WUTC ruling has not yet been received by the City but the proposed judgement provides for splitting the city between the two garbage com- panies , however the contract under discussion is for recycling only. It is not known yet if the WUTC ruling will have any effect on the recycling •_ contract, and therefore the authorization to sign has been made subject to approval of the Attorney and Administrator. 7 - July 5, 1988 RESIDENTIAL Biteman noted that he had been active in various RECYCLING recycling meetings and in view of the increase in - solid waste, he could foresee that garbage would be separated before going to the dump. Dowell expressed concern about signing this contract with- out knowing the particulars of the WUTC ruling. McFall confirmed for White that the contract is for 18 months and that the City logo would not be used on the hauler ' s trucks. The hauler will apply to the WUTC as soon as possible to include the cost of a recycling program such as this in their rate structure. At such time as that is approved as a part of their rate structure, we would cease the subsidy and the cost would be bourne by all of the customers . It was further clarified that the City had received proposals for recycling from other haulers as well as from Rabanco. The motion then carried with Dowell voting against it. COUNCIL COMMITTEES Council President. White noted that he and several Councilmembers had attended the AWC Convention and that he had been elected to the Board of Directors and would be serving the western half of the State. Planning Committee. Jim Hansen, Planning Manager, stated that the Planning staff is comprising a work program on multifamily housing densities and would report on it at the next Council meeting. Parks Committee. McFall noted that all are invited to attend the opening of Briscoe Park on July 14 at 12: 00 noon. EXECUTIVE SESSION McFall announced at 8: 25 p.m. that there would be an executive session of approximately 30 minutes to discuss pending litigation, a complaint against an employee and collective bargaining.

Kent Fire Department purchased a new high pressure mobile air compressor. This was done to meet our needs with the direction of upgrading our breathing air systems to high pressure. In the fall of 1986, the citizens of Kent passed a Bond Issue which allowed us to complete the upgrade by the fall of 1987. These actions made our old low pressure compressor obsolete. The compressor was dismantled and placed in storage and has remained there. Fire Department Administration met with the Public Safety Committee on 7-12-88 . A quorum was not present, but Councilman Mann felt that this matter could be brought before full council. It is physically impossible to change this low pressure compressor to a high pressure unit. RECOMMENDED ACTION: A Fire Department in eastern Washington is interested in purchasing this low pressure compressor. It is recommended that the Council approve the surplusing of this unit, along with it's five (5) bottle low pressure cascade system. A price of $3 , 000 should be asked for this package. This figure was obtained from a vendor who is knowledgeable about this compressor. SIGNIFICANCE: This action will allow us to take the funds from the sale of this unit and place it into the Bond Project Air Systems account number 3352 331 52220 for purchase of self contained breathing apparatus equipment. Also, it will open up much needed space at Station 76's temporary quarters. ALTERNATIVES/CONSEQUENCES: The only alternative is not to approve the surplus of this unit. The above benefits would not be gained. kj PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT Purchase Agreement made this day of 1988 between the City of Kent, herein called "Seller" , and Grant County Fire District No. 4 , herein called "Buyer" .

They are requesting the temporary use of the street to provide for employee parking during this time period which he estimates to be between July 5 and October 31. A map (copy attached) of the proposed use and number of required parking stalls was distributed to the Committee. Wickstrom indicated the Public Works Department has no problems with allowing this other than we would need to develop conditions protecting the City from any liability for this on-street parking . The Committee unanimously approved the request subject to the conditions which e will be developed by the Transportation Division of the Public Works Department. Green River Levee Improvement - S. 212th Street Bridge Wickstrom indicated that the project fund is currently $200, 000 and the low bid received on June 27 was $289, 431. 80. Wickstrom noted that $150, 000 for levee work near Meeker Street was budgeted but because of the need for a 404 permit no work will be done this year. Wickstrom proposed transferring the $150, 000 to the Green River Levee Improvement S. 212th Street Bridge fund so that we can proceed with construction and meet the time limitations of our Fisheries permit. The Meeker Street levee work would then be budgeted next year. The Committee unanimously approved the request. Public Works Committee June 27, 1988 Page 2 1989 Public Works Department Proposed Budget Review The Committee reviewed the organizational structure of the Public Works Department and various needs of the department as projected by the Public Works Director. The Committee members mentioned various items they would like to see addressed in future Public Works budgets. Among those are the development of sidewalk construction in the Capital Improvement Program, especially around the elementary schools in Kent; developing an ordinance to collect reimbursement for staff time utilized for accident control in incidents caused by negligent driving, and the acquisition of property for satellite Public Works maintenance facilities which o will be needed as the City continues to grow. In addition, Jon Johnson asked that Brent research the development of an award which can be presented to those citizens in our - community who contribute their own time and resources in City beautification or maintenance. •-- h 1� 3cRas � es 9raa ac:aRs �1u2 � G , r S 200TH ST i - CZ = Zm7 N acn NIT- m 4 o ^ � OPERATIONS COMMITTEE MINUTES June 30, 1988 COUNCIL MEMBERS PRESENT: Christi Houser Paul Mann Steve Dowell r Berne Biteman STAFF PRESENT: Brent McFall Tony McCarthy Mike Webby Charles Lindsey May Miller Tom Vetsch Glenda Valvoda OTHERS PRESENT: Nels Johnson, Kent Disposal Gary Ewing, Kent Disposal APPROVAL OF VOUCHERS All claims for the period ending June 30, 1988, in the amount of $1 ,283,975.38 were approved for payment. RECYCLING CONTRACT City Administrator McFall noted that the City had been interested in promoting recycling for a number years and prior to the transfer of garbage pick-up to an outside vendor had planned to go out to bid to obtain that service. Following the transfer of the garbage pickup, Kent Disposal had implemented a pilot residential curb side recycling program on the West Hill that obtained approximately 60% participation. The City wanted to expand this program City-wide and selected, following discussion with various vendors, Kent Disposal 's proposal as the simplest and easiest proposal for the homeowner. The City-wide program will be for residential customers up to four-plexes for a once a month pick-up using a separate toter. The contract will be for an 18 -•• month period, during which time Kent Disposal will submit to the IIUTC for inclusion of the program in their base rates. During the interim period, the City will pay amounts between $5,000 and $6,000 a month from the City ' s Environmental Mitigation Fund for the cost of the program. The program is different from the pilot program in two areas: 1 ) Plastics are now a recyclable W item (a market has been found for them) , and 2) the program is once a month as opposed to twice a month. Operations Committee Minutes June 30, 1988 Page 2 Questions from the committee noted that the intent of the program was not to take recycling away from charitable organizations, but to get recyclables from those residences that had not been recycling before. The committee also raised the question about whether toters themselves were recyclable and the comment was that because of the type of plastic they were made from, the Kent toters were actually recyclable. Kent Disposal will also be working on a better balancing of the toters. It was also noted that because individual residences may be able to do a substantial amount of recycling, they may be able to reduce the size of their garbage toter, therefore, reducing their garbage costs. One other point of discussion was the fact that King County is working with all cities in the county to establish a recycling program and Kent's initiation of this project puts it way ahead of other cities. Based on this input, the Committee unanimously accepted the proposal to implement the recycling program. It was noted that the program would be instituted within 45-60 days, and that decals pasted on the toters would identify the recyclables allowed and schedule of pick-up days. CONSIDERATION TO LEASE CITY-OWNED PROPERTY City Administrator McFall noted that he has been approached by a developer who wanted to lease a portion of the property along West Valley Highway at 64th Avenue that had been donated to the City for the purpose of building a trail . The property is a part of the Puget Power right-of-way. The City's initial response to the proposal was "no" because it was important that the property be used to be part of the City 's trail system. A counter-proposal by _• developer offered that the developer build a trail and a 10-car parking lot for the trail purposes , and in addition, provide the City with a $3,600 a year leasehold payment, plus the amount of leasehold tax that is required to be paid to the State on such a transaction. The committee was pleased with the staff proposal . Operations Committee Minutes June 30, 1988 Page 3 REAUTHORIZATION OF THE SCOTT WET7EL CONTRACT Assistant City Administrator Webby noted that the contract for Workers' Compensation claims administration was up on June 30 and needed to be renewed for another year. He noted that in the course of the City's Self-Insurance Program for Workers ' Compensation, they had saved approximately $100,000 a year from the State rates . The program has been in effect since July 1979. The program calls for paying claims at an administration cost of $10,750 a year, up 4% from the previous contract. This amount will process up to 60 claims with additional claims being processed at $120 at each, up from $100 each. Councilman Biteman noted that the self-insurance program had been an excellent program and the City had used great foresight in its initiation of these programs. Based on this, the Committee unanimously approved the reauthorization of the contract with Scott Wetzel . MAY FINANCIAL REPORT Finance Director McCarthy reviewed with the Committee the May Financial Report. He made particular emphasis to the budget portions of the report since the Committee was in the process of hearing operations critiques from the individual departments in preparation for setting guidelines for the development of the 1989 budget. As a part of the report, McCarthy noted that the projected available fund balance for program improvements in 1989 continued to improve and it appears that approximately $900,000 is available for those purposes at this time. FINANCE DEPARTMENT OPERATIONAL REVIEW The Finance Department reviewed their operations with the Committee. Information presented will be summarized along with other Committee presentations to be discussed at the council workshop of August 9. The Committee as a whole felt pretty happy with the direction of the Finance Department and saw no significant change in emphasis. 0066F-01F
