" DISCUSSION: ACTION: Council Agenda Item No . 2A RECYCLING SURVEY Dear Kent Resident: During a recent seven month pilot project 550 participating Kent households produced over 100 tons of recyclable waste which would otherwise have been hauled to the Cedar Hills Landfill. With the current dump fee at $47 per ton, the savings are quite apparent. This pilot project drew much favorable comment and the City Council will soon consider offering similar curbside pickup service to all Kent residents. o If once a month pickup of a toter load of recyclable jars, bottles, cans, newspapers, magazines, cardboard and junk mail was offered would your household participate? Yes No o Would you support such a program if it was not self- supporting and required a subsidy? Yes No. o King County is currently analyzing sites for solid waste incinerators. Should Kent be considered? Yes No o Were you a participant in the seven month pilot project mentioned above? Yes No PLEASE RETURN WITH YOUR MONTHLY STATEMENT COMMENTS: -- Sincerely, Berne Biteman, Co-Chair Christi Houser, Co-Chair Task Force on Solid Waste Task Force on Solid Waste RECEIVED JAN 2 9 1988 CITY OF KENT CITY..CLERK 4224 South 252nd Place Kent, Wa. 98032 27 January 1988 Kent City Council 220 4th Avenue South Kent, Wa . 98032 Dear Council Members: Please consider this letter as support for the refuse recycling program. As a three adult family residing in a single family residence , we feel that the test program provided us with the first no cost benefit we have been able to identify in almost 17 years of Kent residency . We applaud the program and urge your support of its adoption. We would have no objection to the program even with suspension of the $1 .00 incentive credit. We found little trouble adjusting to the discipline of separating refuse . The advantage of having space available for yard clippings disposal at our convenience easily compensates forXany additional effort recycling may create . We would object if the size of either toter were to be reduced. Permit me to also take this opportunity to compliment the disposal companies and the Kent City agency which provide our service . Having experienced the service in six other states, the present service is the most clean, courteous, and considerate . N . G .

APPROVAL of the minutes of the regular Council meeting of January 5, 1988, with the following correction of a typographical error: Page 3 , LID 331 S.E. 240th Street from 108th S.E. to 116th S.E. RECYCLING PROGRAM Residential Recycling Program. This date has been set to conduct a public hearing for the purpose of gathering public input into the advisability of conducting a City-wide residential recycling program. Considerations include such items as the need for recycling, the advisability of public subsidy of a recycling program, and the propriety of proceeding with such a program at this time. The Mayor declared the public hearing open. Don Knapp noted that the recycling pilot program on the West Hill had been well done by Kent Disposal . He noted that the City had issued a request for proposals and asked which firms had received such request. McFall stated that proposals had been requested from Kent Disposal and Tri Star, the only two firms which hold certificates from the WUTC. He explained for Doug Hendrickson of Valley Recycling that the proposal was for a curb-side program in conjunction with garbage service and therefore only those certified garbage haulers had been sent the request for proposals. Hendrickson noted that he had been in business in Kent for thirteen years and that he could offer this ser- vice. Bill Segale of Tri Star noted that he had just received the information in today 's mail and the pro- posals were due on Friday. WHITE MOVED to continue the hearing to the next Council meeting on February 2, to allow time for more input. Dowell seconded. Ed Markham spoke highly of recycling and suggested that businesses as well as residences should participate. - 1 - January 19, 1988 RECYCLING PROGRAM Gary Ewing of Kent Disposal stated that during the eight months of the test program on the West Hill, participation had been very good. He pointed out that WUTC regulations did not allow continuance of the program until the results of the current hearings were known. He noted that the program was not self- supporting and would require some subsidy and said that 100 tons of recyclables were collected. Ewing con- firmed for Biteman that the savings in dump fees for - 100 tons came to $4700, and further that it would cost approximately $3000 to continue the program for January and February. June Herschleb noted that her family of two recycled newspapers and had very little garbage. White amended his motion to include a two week exten- sion of time for the request for proposals and to include other interested parties. Dowell concurred and the motion carried unanimously. Johnson then moved to continue with the West Hill recycling pro- gram and the subsidy therefore and asked the advice of the City Attorney regarding terminology. Driscoll advised that the motion should be to authorize nego- tiations for an interim agreement to continue the waste reduction recycling program on the West Hill and to authorize the Mayor to sign such agreement. JOHNSON SO MOVED and Woods seconded. Upon Dowell ' s question as to the amount of the subsidy, McFall noted that this would have to be negotiated even though Ewing had noted that it would be less than $3000 for a two month period. Dowell questioned whether this could be considered signing a blank check. Johnson then proposed to amend the motion to authorize negotiation up to $3000 for 60 days to March 1st and Woods concurred. Dowell expressed concern with agreeing to pay without knowing what would ba furnished. The motion carried with Dowell opposing. SOLID WASTE - Mayor Kelleher noted that this morning the County KING COUNTY Council adopted an ordinance calling for the County to conduct a non-project specific EIS for determining how the County should dispose of solid waste. He pointed out that the ordinance has not yet been signed and it does not meet all of the concerns as defined in the lawsuit Kent filed against the County. It does, however, address the major issue: the City ' s request to the County to follow proper procedures 2 - January 19, 1988 SOLID WASTE - under SEPA. Most of the City' s questions have been KING COUNTY addressed. He pointed out that if the ordinance is signed by County Executive Hill, he would recommend that the lawsuit be dropped and pointed out that he would continue to fight the location of an incinerator in Kent. The Mayor noted that the matter would be addressed by the Council later in an executive session after regular Council business had been concluded.

Alia Company in the amount of $73, 216 . 18 for the contract for LID 322/323 and to transfer $75, 000 from the Unencumbered Sewerage Funds to this project.

This is a public meeting to consider the H,raring Examiner ' s recommendation of conditional approval of a 30-lot industrial preliminary subdivision. The subdivision is located at the southwest corner of 228th Street and West Valley Highway. WOODS MOVED to adopt the findings of the Hearing Examiner and to Concur with the Hearing Examiner ' s recommendation of conditional approval. Johnson seconded and the motion carried. ANNEXATION ZONING East Hill Community Well Annexation No. 2 - Carey - APPEAL Appeal. This is a public hearing to consider an appeal of the Hearing Examiner ' s recommended zoning for the property located east of 112th Avenue S.E. Carey Appeal extended to 114th Avenue S.E. approximately and north of S.E. 244th extended. The appeal was filed by William J. Carey. The Hearing Examiner recommends zoning of R1 -9. 61 single family residential ( 9600 square fet minimum lot area ) . White noted that the Carey family has asked that this item be continued to the meeting of March 1st, and SO MOVED. Biteman seconded and the motion carried. ANNEXATION ZONING East Hill Community Well Annexation No. 2 - Berg- - APPEAL strom Appeal. This is a public hearing to consider an appeal of the Hearing Examiner ' s recommended zoning Bergstrom Appeal for the property located at 25219 113th Avenue S.E. The appeal was filed by Michael Bergstrom of Construc- _ 4 _ January 19, 1988 ANNEXATION ZONING tion and Development Services, Inc. The Hearing APPEAL Examiner recommends zoning of R1 -7. 2, Single Family Residential ( 7200 square feet minimum lot area) . The packet contains the following: Copies of the letter of appeal, recommendations of staff and of the Hearing Examiner, and verbatim transcripts of the public hearing before the Examiner. Kathy McClung of the Planning Department described the area, a 3. 35 acre parcel situated south of S. 252nd adjacent to the Strattford Arms apartment complex. The public hearing was opened by Mayor Kelleher. Michael Bergstrom noted that he represented Amerinor Holding, owner of the proprty at 25219 113th Avenue S.E. He stated that the Hearing Examiner ' s recommend- ation of R1 -7. 2 is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Bergstrom Appeal Plan designation of 12 to 24 units per acre. Bergstrom noted that Kent ' s Zoning Code requires that the zoning recommendations for annexed areas be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. He referred also to the East Hill Plan of 1982 and Resolution 1123 in which the City declares its intent to achieve an average density reduction of 20% on undeveloped multi-family zoned lands. Bergstrom stated that the Hearing Examiner ' s Findings noted that many people spoke in favor of single family zoning but did not mention that there also were many who favored multi-family zoning. He noted that no alternative solutions were considered and that multi-family zoning of a lesser density such as MRG would achieve twice the requirements of Resolu- tion 1123 . Upon Biteman' s question, Bergstrom pointed out that this parcel is on the edge of property already developed and adjacent to parcels zoned MRG and MRM with single family zoning to the east and on 111th to the west. He pointed out that some of the Hearing Examiner ' s findings did not pertain to this particular parcel and that sewer service is adequate for multi- family development. Bergstrom noted that right of way dedications would reduce the parcel to 2 . 84 acres and MRG zoning would allow about 45 units . Bergstrom referred to staff concerns relating to traffic, and emergency services and he recommended that these issues could be addressed by the City aggressively applying SEPA authority to examine impacts of future developments so such impacts could be mitigated. _. Gene Oades stated that there are single family resi- dences to the east and to the south within one block 5 - January 19, 1988 ANNEXATION ZONING of this parcel. He noted the traffic problems which - APPEAL would result if multi-density zoning was given. Tom Delaney stated that the sewer service on 113th only extends half way up the street. Mayor Kelleher noted that this hearing would be con- tinued to March 1st along with the hearing for the zoning of the entire Area C properties. There were no further comments and BITEMAN MOVED to continue the hearing to March 1 . Houser seconded and the motion carried. ANNEXATION ZONING Zoning of Area C - East Hill Community Well Annexation Area No. 2. This is the first of two hearings to con- sider the Hearing Examiner ' s recommended zoning for the East Hill Community Well Annexation No. 2, Area C. Kathy McClung of the Planning Department described the Hearing Examiner ' s recommendation as follows : AREA C 1. For the area west of 112th Avenue SE extended and north of SE 248th street: R1-7.2, Single Family Residential (7,200 square foot minimum lot size) . 2. For the area south of SE 252nd Street: R1-7.2, Single Family Residential (7,200 square foot minimum lot size) except the 4.8o acre parcel known as Stratford Arms. 3. Stratford Arms: MRM, Medium Density Multifamily Residential, allowing 23 units per acre (entire Stratford Arms site, including the undeveloped portions) . 4. H. L. Bainton property south of SE 248th Street, adjacent to former City boundary: MRG, Garden Density Multifamily Residential, maximum of six dwelling units per acre. 5. Property east of 112th Avenue SE extended, north of SE 252nd except Bainton property: R1-9.6, Single Family Residential (9,600 square foot minimum lot size) . She noted that the Hearing Examiner also recommended two conditions: 1. If the H. L. Bainton property is not developed as proposed under the Walnut Park zero lot line plat, the property shall revert to R1-9.6. 2. Property will be deeded to provide right-of-way widths for future street development prior to the issuance of a development permit. - 6 - January 19, 1988 ANNEXATION ZONING Upon Mann's question, McClung noted that the staff recommended lower densities than were shown on the Com- prehensive Plan map, but used the lines on the Plan as guidelines, so 112th Avenue S.E. is the boundary between the two different zoning recommendations. Upon Biteman's question, McClung explained that conditions existing on the ground itself could cause considera- tion of higher or lower density zoning. The Mayor declared the public hearing open. Al Silva, 25322 113th Avenue S.E. , expressed his con- cerns regarding the zoning in Area C and showed slides of the area south of S. 248th. He pointed out that the single family homes were surrounded by 12 apart- ment complexes. Stratford Arms was built in the middle of single family housing and the Margaret Ward property was sold and rezoned to expand the Stratford Arms complex. He stated that the zoning policy should be reasonable and consistent and recommended two pos- sible solutions: either stop the encroachment of multi-housing development in this area and the result- ing inconsistent, preferential rezoning of single family areas (especially the Margaret Ward property and the Bergstrom property) or designate the entire south half of Area C as multi-housing zone in this area, so that other residential areas might be saved and private homeowners could do some long range plan- ning for their property. Tom Delaney, 25420 113 Avenue S.E. , concurred with Silva. Randy Brealey, 10910 N.E. 66th Place, Kirkland, pointed out the Bainton property as part of the pro- perty for the Walnut Park zero lot line subdivision. He noted that at the time of the Hearing Examiner ' s recommendation, the conditions were acceptable, but that the situation is now quite different for the Bainton property. He stated that the developer of the project had filed bankruptcy; the Howard property has been sold and townhouses will be developed on the Wilcox property. He pointed out that the Hearing Examiner ' s conditions would now change the zoning recommendation for the Bainton property from MRG to R1 -9 . 6. He showed sketches of how the property could be developed under each zoning designation and requested that the MRG designation be retained. The zero lot line ordinance requires a 5-acre parcel and cannot be applied to the Bainton property which is 4. 4 acres. 7 - January 19, 1988 ANNEXATION ZONING This property now stands alone and will be developed as a short plat. He suggested a duplex condominium project with 22 units, which is a 1 /3 reduction from the number of lots in the Phase 2 proposal for Walnut Park. Brealey showed the use of a private road to avoid dedication of a 60 foot right of way for this long, narrow parcel . Leona Orr, 24909 114th Avenue S.E. , expressed her con- cern regarding over-development of the East Hill resulting in traffic problems and she stated that response time for emergency vehicles is one of the highest in the city. She urged the Council to reverse the recommendation for multi-family zoning on the small piece of property adjacent to Stratford Arms and to not allow multiple zoning for the Bainton property. Orr urged the City to consider providing for parks on the East Hill, and noted that school enrollment is expected to grow at a rapid pace. Jim Singletary, 24823 114th Avenue S.E. , noted that since the installation of a traffic light at S. E. 248th and 104th Avenue S.E. last March, traffic has doubled. He cited traffic problems, especially noting the intersections of 104th S.E. and S.E. 240th, 116th S.E. and 240th S.E. , and 104th S.E. and 256th. He statedthat these problems should be addressed before increasing multi-family zoning. Joan McCallum, 25238 111th Avenue S.E. , suggested that the undeveloped properties in Area C be zoned at least R1 -9. 6 . She stated that homes built on lots of 7200 sq. ft. , would lower the value of the homes built on the larger lots. McCallum also stated that she is opposed to the multi- family zoning, pointing out that the residences on 111th are surrounded by multi-family developments . Charles Spurgeon, 11124 S.E. 248th, spoke in favor of multi-family housing and noted that the general area has developed as multi-family and commercial use over the past few years. He read a letter which was pre- sented tonight. He also read a letter from Lewis A. Haak, owner of property at S.E. 240th and 116th S.E. , pointing out that 240th was widened through the LID process for which the proprty owners were assessed. Haak objected to single family zoning on a five-lane street which already has commercial zoning in some places. BITEMAN MOVED to make both letters a part of the record. White seconded and the motion carried. 8 - January 19, 1988 ANNEXATION ZONING Jim Orr, 24909 114th Avenue S.E. , noted that 130 resi- dents of the area had signed a petition requesting R1 -12 zoning for Area C. Orr noted that the City has -. been seeking input and participation from the public, and urged the Council to let people know they are listening. (The petition was filed for the record on October 20 and copies were distributed with the documents for this hearing. ) There were no further comments and BITEMAN MOVED to continue this matter to the March 1 , 1988 Council meeting. Woods seconded and the motion carried. DOWNTOWN (CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM 3L) REVITALIZATION Funding for Burlington Northern Depot Rehabilitation. ADOPTION of Resolution 1157 supporting the Planning Department' s application to obtain funding from the 1989 Washington Centennial Commission to restore the Burlington Northern Depot in downtown Kent. LICENSING (CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM 3D) Interlocal Agreement - King County. AUTHORIZATION to enter into an interlocal service agreement with King County covering the licensing of private security agencies and employees thereof, as recommended by the Operations Committee. This is a renewal of the exist- ing agreement which has been satisfactorily handled for the past six years. BUDGET (CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM 3I ) 1987 Budget Adjustment Ordinance. ADOPTION of Ordi- nance 2765 for the 1987 Budget Adjustment, as recom- mended at the January 15 Operations Committee meeting. The ordinance combines, in one place, budget amounts for previously approved expenditures. The major items are funded with bond issues and grants .

B. The Public and Private Local Transportation Act of 1988 It is recommended the City agree with the concept of this proposed act but not support it as written. It is suggested staff review it with other South King County municipalities to determine if they have concerns with the language of the proposal and pursue the various avenues for its modification. - 10 - January 19, 1988 COUNCIL C. Local Improvement District Statute Revisions COMMITTEES It is recommended the Council support the point of allowing property owners to pay for and perform certain soft costs of the development process and to be reimbursed during the LID process but not to support the points of 1) narrowly defining and authorizing no-protest agreements and 2) authorizing a jurisdiction to defer property assessments on Transportation undeveloped properties until they are developed to Task Force their highest and best use. ,., D. Gas Tax Increase It is recommended Council support an increase in the gas tax while reserving its right to comment on specific legislation. mayor Kelleher stated that he supports these recommend- ations and commended White, Elmira Forner and the members of the Task Force and asked that this be scheduled for action at a future Council meeting.

He suggested that all committee meetings be held in the same room to make it more convenient for the public. White also reminded the Council that the NLC Con- gressional Caucus will be held March 19-22 in Washing- ton D.C,. and the NLC Annual Meeting is December 3-7 National League in Boston, and asked that he be notified which con- of Cities ferences the Councilmembers will be attending. Biteman stated that attendance at League functions is extremely important. He stated that 75% of the League membership consists of cities under 50, 000. He noted that the League has a municipal reference and research service which the City could use.

McFall asked for a Council executive session to discuss negotiations for land acquisition and litigation. The Mayor noted that Lyle Price of the Valley Daily News had expressed a con- cern regarding the use of the executive session for the litigation which is going on with King County and asked the City Attorney to comment. Driscoll replied that the Open Public Meetings Act states that the Council may go into executive session to discuss liti- gation with their legal counsel when public knowledge regarding the discussion would likely result in adverse legal consequences. This includes discussion of legal strategy, legal theories and, in this particular case, the possible outcome of accepting the Mayor ' s recommendation to drop the suit against the County, because it could have an adverse legal effect on the litigation itself. White stated that he hoped that the Council would make public their decision, or make the decision in public. Driscoll noted that the Council may do so, though it is not required. Biteman reported on a recent conference he attended in Minneapolis at no cost to the City. He stated that he had seen the only recycling and resource recovery plan in the nation which does no burning. The plant handles 400 tons a day and 90% of the garbage that goes into this plant is being recycled. They pelletize the material , and remove the aluminum, glass, etc. , - 12 - January 19, 1988 COUNCIL and sell it, which covers the salaries of all the COMMITTEES employees. He noted that a nearby preschool, hospital and senior housing had no complaints at all about the plant. Biteman indicated that the cost is less than half of the burn plant. Upon White ' s question, he noted that there are several companies who would be willing to make a formal presentation to the Council . The Mayor noted that the City has until April of this year to decide where to commit its waste stream, and that whoever controls the waste stream determines what facilities will be usd. Upon Biteman' s question, Driscoll stated that the County could site a facility within the City of Kent if all siting requirements were met. At 9: 35 p.m. , the Mayor called for a five-minute recess before the beginning of the executive session. EXECUTIVE SESSION The Council reconvened at 9: 52 p.m. and WHITE MOVED to authorize the Mayor to terminate the lawsuite with King County King County at such time as the City Attorney recom- Lawsuit mends that this is adviseable. Woods seconded and the motion carried unanimously. WOODS MOVED to acquire the Fenwick Park property at $450, 000 over a ten-year period and to authorize the Parks Acquisition Mayor to execute the necessary documents .

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS January 22 , 1988 TO: Public Works Com ittee FROM: Don Wickstrom A RE: Water Utility Telemetering Control System Over the last three years, the telemetering system which controls the operation of our water system underwent significant modifications. Said improvement project was overseen by our Operations Manager. Actually he did or directed much of the design and installation himself. Our review of the situation since his departure reveals that much work still remains to be done to make the system fully operational and reliable. Attached is a copy of our consultants review thereof. As you can see, the needs span the entire system and ranges from minor to significant. We consider this work extremely important because it ties directly to our ability to meet the coming summer's water demand season. An estimated project budget therefor is $150,000. It should be noted that this is a preliminary budget based on a cursory review and costs could be more or less depending on our findings once we really get into it. As you would expect, it is proposed to fund this project from the unencumbered funds of the water utility. i URS CONSULTANTS, INC. MEMORANDUM TO: Don Wickstrom II ~ 1F FROM: Jim Olson DEC g 1307 OFFICE: Seattle DATE: December 16, 1987 SUBJECT: City of Kent - Water System Review Jim Olson, Project Director, Don Young, Electrical Engineer and Harlan Bell , Instrumentation Technician from URS, met at the Kent City Shops with Leland Fingerson, Water Operations Supervisor, and George Jett, Technician, who operates the telemetry control center for the City. Leland and George gave a general overview of how the Entrac system and the networked Texas Instrument PLC system function to monitor and control the water supply and distribution system. The discussion centered around a memorandum containing the minutes of a meeting Leland had with Wayne Pace, departed Director of Operations for the City. The subject of that meeting was various projects that had not been completed. In addition to the orientation at the Control Center, several of the facilities were visited. The City has worked with various consultants and systems engineers as well as having done some of their own engineering. Our general impression was that they have generally done a good job of expanding their system of control and data acquisition. However, there apparently is no overall documentation which ties the pieces together as a system for use by operations personnel . It appeared from the site visits that almost all of the facilities re- quire some work to be completed. A few of the facilities would require some fairly substantial modifications; however, many required relatively minor revisions or adjustments to the control system. It appeared that the following tasks should be undertaken: 1. Inspection by our engineers of all uncompleted projects to identify and itemize deficiencies to be corrected. 2. Recommend corrective action including identifying those items under warranty. 3. Determine those corrections that may be handled by City per- sonnel . 4. Consolidate all remaining work into a single package for ex- ecution by an outside contractor. URS CONSULTANTS, INC. MEMORANDUM To: Don Wickstrom From: Jim Olson Re: City of Kent - Water System Review December 16, 1987 Page 2 5. Prepare an operations manual for the entire system. While many of the facilities appear to have adequate operating documentation, many do not. Also, there is no single document available to operations personnel which sets forth the overall operation of the system. Therefore, this task would entail research of City and URS files to compile all existing operations data. From this base, an operations manual would be prepared that delineates the overall operation of the water system. In addition to the telemetry and controls, the manual would set out how the various facilities relate to each other. Attached is a more detailed list of tasks to be undertaken. It should not be considered complete as more items will undoubtedly come up during inspection. Please call when you have reviewed this memo and we can discuss how we should proceed from here. It is difficult to fudge the time and cost involved until we have had time to check the individual facilities in detail .

It was replaced this year with 368, a 1986 Fury, and is now scheduled to go to auction. The City of Morton wishes to purchase this vehicle for $1150 to replace a recently totaled patrol unit. They are aware that it has front end damage. I believe $1150 is a fair price; I doubt that we could recover more money through the auction, and request your approval to sell the unit to the City of Morton.

The Committee concurred with the request. Request for Closure of 110th Place Alice Milne submitted a petition signed by residents of 110th Place S.E. who want 110th closed. This petition is made a part of these minutes. Ms. Milne related that the residents had been told that 110th would be closed once construction had been completed. However, it has remained opened and is being used quite heavily. Wickstrom related originally the developer was required to close 110th in conjunction with development of 109th Street. He subsequently received an amendment to the binding site plan to allow it to remain open, conditioned, however, if the City determined it to be hazardous we could order it closed. It was determined that 110th is a private street. The Committee directed staff to verify with the fire department if they would have any problem responding to the area if 110th were closed, do volume counts to determine the traffic load, research the conditions of the binding site plan and report back to the Committee.

A list of comments received was reviewed for the Committee . . The anticipated construction schedule for the left turn lanes is within the next 12-18 months. The project is about $280, 000 and is completely funded with Federal funds. The left turn restrictions will be removed once the left turns are constructed. Morris stated not only will there be No Left Turn Signs but 36-inch pylons will be placed on Canyon from Jason to 94th. Johnson suggested that No U-Turn Signs be placed at 94th. It is estimated the cost of the signing and pylons would be approximately $10,000 which Wickstrom proposed be transfered from the LID 313-CBD Improvement project. The Committee concurred with the temporary left turn restrictions and transfer of the funds. _.— :ParkYnq�°'alstandaT �`�"s. The Downtown Task Force asked the Public Works Committee to review a two hour parking limit on the first two rows of parking in the lot on Titus Street. Morris indicated parking utilization of the lot was 80-901 during the day. , Morris stated he didn't feel there would be any problem with the request. Woods clarified it was requested to provide better parking opportunities for customers of City businesses. The Committee concurred. Traffic Movement Meeker Street into Downtown There was discussion of the request by the Downtown Task Force to remove the right turn only restriction to the eastbound lane at Meeker and Fourth allowing traffic to travel on into the downtown area. It was requested. that Morris bring back a proposal and cost estimate to the Committee. Reith Road and S. 253rd Sight Distance Morris reviewed the sight distance problem created by the construction of a fence by an adjoining property owner. Johnson stated he thought the problem was not being able to see cars coming up Reith Road. Morris stated that cars in the right turn lane going up the hill are creating a problem as they are using the lane in order to pass slower vehicles. A recommendation would be to extend the buttoning down the hill and place additional Right Turn Only signs. A raised island could also be placed at Reith and S. 253rd forcing the vehicles . to .turn ;right out of the right turn lane. The cost for the raised 'island would be approximately $1,000. Wickstrom stated there are funds in the Reith Road project for this . The Committee approved .of these recommendations . -- Johnson suggested a memo be sent from the Committee to the rest of the Council about these changes.

Thus, there Will be more convenient parking for shoppers. ) I _ * Remove several parking stalls along the south side of Meeker Street and east of the Union Pacific Railroad tracks. Allow traffic in the right hand land to have the option to continue east rather than a right turn only. (This will facilitate traffic movement toward the central shopping area along Meeker and remove a potentially confusing traffic maneuver. ) If you have any questions, please give Jim Hansen a call. Thanks for considering our suggestions.

A list of comments received was reviewed for the Committee . . The anticipated construction schedule for the left turn lanes is within the next 12-18 months. The project is about $280, 000 and is completely funded with Federal funds. The left turn restrictions will be removed once the left turns are constructed. Morris stated not only will there be No Left Turn Signs but 36-inch pylons will be placed on Canyon from Jason to 94th. Johnson suggested that No U-Turn Signs be placed at 94th. It is estimated the cost of the signing and pylons would be approximately $10,000 which Wickstrom proposed be transfered from the LID 313-CBD Improvement project. The Committee concurred with the temporary left turn restrictions and transfer of the funds. Parking 1st and Titus The Downtown Task Force asked .the Public Works Committee to review a two hour parking limit on the first two rows of parking in the lot on Titus Street. Morris indicated parking utilization of the lot was 80-90% during the day. Morris stated he didn't feel there would be any problem with the request. Woods clarified it was requested to provide better parking opportunities for customers of City businesses. The Committee concurred. r Traffic Movement Meeker Street into Downtown There was discussion of the request by the Downtown Task Force to remove the right turn only restriction to the eastbound lane at Meeker and Fourth allowing traffic to travel on into the downtown area. It was requested that Morris bring back a proposal and cost estimate to the Committee. Reith Road and S. 253rd Sight Distance Morris reviewed the sight distance problem created by the construction of a fence by an adjoining property owner. Johnson stated he thought the problem was not being able to see cars coming up Reith Road. Morris stated that cars in the right turn lane going up the hill -are creating a problem as they are using the lane in order to pass slower vehicles. A recommendation would be to extend the buttoning down the hill and place additional Right Turn Only signs. A raised island could also be placed at Reith and S. 253rd forcing the vehicles to turn ::right out of the right turn lane. The cost for the raised island would be approximately $1,000. Wickstrom stated there are funds in the Reith Road project for this . The Committee approved of these recommendations . Johnson suggested a memo be sent from the Committee to the rest of the Council about these changes. r I �n Parks Committee Meeting Date February 2 , 1988 Category Consent Calendar 1 .

An indepth review (copy attached) of the EDC proposal, scheduled to go before the legislature this session, was completed. The -. recommendations of this Task Force on the elements of that proposal are as follows: A. Test Case on Transportation Benefit Districts It is recommended the City actively work with the County in the formation of a Transportation Benefit District for funding of the 272nd/277th Corridor and the City participate in seeking a judicial determination of the constitutionality of TBDs. B. The Public and Private Local Transportation Act of 1988 It is recommended the City agree with the concept of this proposed act but not support it as written.

Local Improvement District Statute Revisions It is recommended the Council support the point of allowing property owners to pay for and perform certain soft costs of the development process and to be reimbursed during the LID process but not to support the points of 1) narrowly defining and authorizing no-protest agreements and 2) authorizing a jurisdiction to defer property assessments on undeveloped properties until they are developed to their highest and best use.

CLERK STAFF PRESENT: Brent McFall Tony McCarthy Mike Webby John Hildeman OTHERS PRESENT: None APPROVAL OF VOUCHERS All claims for the period ending December 92,- 1987, in the amount of $673,749.57 and for January 15, 1988, in the amount of $71,536.57 were approved for payment. As explained to the Committee, the DecembRr�32,.-payments were for goods and services received in December which will be charged against the 1987 Budget. Additional expenditures, the final processing of 1987 expenditures, . will be on a December, 33, printout to be approved at the next Operations Committee meeting. At the request of Councilman White, the purchase order for the Kent News Journal was pulled for discussion on the appropriateness of City subscriptions by various departments. City Administrator Brent McFall will get back to the Committee on a proposal in this area. CABLE TV ADMINISTRATION CONTRACT RENEWAL Assistant City Administrator, Mike Webby, explained that this is a renewal of the contract with the consultant who assists the City in monitoring the cable TV contract. The service fee for this monitoring will not exceed $6,049 for which the City will generate approximately $40,000 in franchise fees. The Committee discussed with Mike the concern over various complaints related to the cable TV company. Mike noted that the contracts with the cable company are up in 1989 and that the consultant has been documenting all complaints for use in the renegotiation process. As Councilman White noted, the City seems -. to have little clout in being able to deal with the cable TV industry. The Committee recommended approval on the contract. Operations Committee Minutes January 15, 1987 Page 2 ONE FULL TIME POSITION FOR PERSONNEL AND LAW TO TWO REGULAR PART-TIME POSITIONS City Administrator McFall explained to the Committee that the final budget adopted a full time position to be split between Personnel and Law but in analyzing the requirements for the job with the Personnel Director and the City Attorney, it was determined that one position probably could not adequately fill both functions and it would be better for the City to hire two individual people on a part-time basis. At the request of Councilman White, Mike explained that the benefits would be approximately the same, as part-time employees get half City benefits. The Committee recommended approval of the request. PAY AND CLASS STUDY IMPLEMENTATION Councilmember Christi Houser suggested that this item be deferred until the finalized Operations Committee could be available to discuss and approve the implementation scenario. Councilman White was desirous of proceeding ahead - with the presentation in an effort to clarify the implementation status. Mike Webby reviewed with them the process noting that approximately 10 to 11 concerns from individual employees had been forwarded to the consultant and that questions raised by Councilman Biteman and Mayor Kelleher were being responded to. Mike noted that in any implementation scenario, no employee of rke City . would have a reduction in pay. The pay levels in filling the positions when they become vacant could possibly be at a lower level . Following this discussion the Committee decided to wait until the meeting of February 1 , to discuss the detail implementation plan. Hopefully by that meeting the comments of the consultant will have arrived and the concerns of the Mayor and various Council members that would have been answered. REPORT ON THE WASHINGTON CITIES INSURANCE AUTHORITY City Administrator McFall noted that Assistant City Administrator Webby has recently, January 14, been elected to be the President of the Washington Cities Insurance Authority for the 1988 year. The Authority currently has 67 members providing insurance, excess insurance, risk management and loss Operations Committee Minutes January 15, 1987 Page 3 control . The Authority currently has $14,000,000 in reserves and is striving for a goal of $25,000,000. Current issues by the Authority are on whether the Authority ought to go completely bare being 100 percent self-insured. Currently the Authority pays a million dollars a year for excess insurance but has not used any of that insurance coverage. It was also noted that in reviewing requests for new cities to become members of the Authority, that many cities are willing to pay a higher price to be a member of the Authority because of the additional services of risk management and loss control . Mike noted that the Authority is currently only able to provide liability insurance but is exploring with State Legislation property insurance and workers camp insurance. Mike did note, with respect to Kent, that we had the greatest reduction in number of claims from 1986 to 1987. INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT ON SECURITY GUARD LICENSING Finance Director McCarthy told the Committee that approximately 3 to 4 years ago the City entered into an agreement with the County for the County to do all the licensing for security guards. Prior to that, the City did the licensing for those guards working within the City. This licensing required special background checks, etc. The process is a difficult process because -- many times the guards would be working within the City limits but would have their home office outside the City limits. Based upon these jurisdictional concerns the County offered to assume full responsibility generating revenue but remitting to the cities revenue for security guard agencies located within their boundaries. The current issue before the Committee was a renewal of the existing agreement with no changes. The Committee concurred with the presentation with this item on the Consent Calendar for the January 19 meeting. 1987 BUDGET ADJUSTMENT ORDINANCE Finance Director McCarthy reviewed with the Committee the process leading to the development of the 1987 Budget Adjustment Ordinance. He noted that in lieu of doing one ordinance at the end of year for all Council actions during the year, the process would be to adopt individual budget ordinance with each Operations Committee Minutes January 15, 1987 Page 4 L.I.D. project, bond project or expenditure of funds from unencumbered balances. This would be a timely and costly process because of Ordinance advertising and auditor time and reconciling of the City's budget. Adoptinq one budget ordinance in the year simplifies this process. He noted with respect to the 1987 Budget adjustment ordinance themselves, that the larger items included the golf course bond issue, the Library bond issue and various L.I.D. projects. Also funds for H & CD grants, environmental mitigation fees on land fill cleanups and other funds from unencumbered fund balances. Significant items not directly approved by the Council previously include the increase payment in the Sewer Fund for Metro charges based upon growth in the community and the increase payment of golf course expenses based on revenue generated. As the demand for golf course services increase, additional part-time help is needed along with additional golf course supplies and items for resale. Based on this review, the Committee had no problem with the adoption of this item as a consent item on the January 19th meeting. WEST HILL RECYCLING PILOT PROJECT City Administrator McFall explained to the Committee that the Rebanco Company is asking to be reimbursed beginning January 1987, for the Pilot Recycling Project on the West Hill , until final resolution through the Washington Utility & Transportation Commission can be established on the propriety of providing recycling at a reduced rate. He noted that the garbage hauler needed an answer as of January 15, or else they will distribute a letter to the West Hill residents noting that Tuesday, January 19, would be the last day for the recycling program which had occurred with two pickups a month. Approximate cost for the program would be a $1 ,000 a month, but the Committee felt unhappy with the idea that they were being forced into this issue. Based upon that, they decided to not approve the expenditure of City funds for assuming the recycling program with the idea that the program would be brought back on board as a part of the negotiation of the final agreement with the Operations Committee Minutes January 15, 1987 Page 5 WUTC and the garbage haulers within the boundaries. Based on this input, City Administrator was going to inform Rebanco of the Committee's decision and noted that the issue could be discussed more fully with the Council at their meeting of the 19th, at which a public hearing on recycling is proposed. 66F-01F
