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

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 .

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.

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.

$73, 216 . 18 for the contract for LID 322/323 and to

PRELIMINARY PLAT Van Doren's Landing Phase 1 - Preliminary Subdivision
No. SU-87-4. 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.

COUNCIL Council President. As Chairman of the Mayor ' s Task
COMMITTEES Force on Transportation Congestion, White submitted a
report which makes the following recommendations :
A. Test Case on Transportation Benefit Districts
It is recommended the City actively work with the -.
County in the formation of a Transportation Benefit
Transportation District for funding of the 272nd/277th Corridor and
Task Force 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. 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.
White announced Council Committee appointments as
follows:
Operations - Houser (Chair) , Mann, Dowell
Public Works - Johnson (Chair) , Woods, Biteman
Council Committees Public Safety - Biteman (Chair) , Mann, Houser
Planning - Woods (Chair) , Johnson, Dowell
Parks - Dowell (Chair) , Johnson, Woods
White reminded the Chairs of various committees to
set meeting dates as soon as possible, bearing in mind
that the purpose of the committees is to seek public
input, and meetings should be scheduled accordingly.
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.
January 19, 1988
COUNCIL White announced that there would be a Council workshop
COMMITTEES next Tuesday? January 26, and that agenda items will
include a parks video production presentation and a
Council Workshop presentation on a transportation system management
ordinance which was called for as a part of the West
Valley Study. (This meeting was later cancelled. )
Public Works Committee. Johnson announced that the
next meeting would be held at 4: 00 p.m. on Tuesday,
January 26 in the Engineering Conference Room. He
stated that the Public Works Committee would meet
regularly on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month at
4 : 00 p.m. in the Engineering Conference Room unless
other notification is given.
Planning Committee. Woods reported that a small group
of City and County representatives will be selecting
Library the architect for the new library on Wednesday,
January 20.
Administrative Reports. 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. ,

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 . Johnson
seconded and the motion carried unanimously.

Sale of Surplus Police Vehicle
Wickstrom explained the City of Morton has offered to purchase a
police vehicle from us that we are declaring as surplus. They have
offered to pay $1, 150 which is the amount we would anticipate
receiving if the vehicle were to be sold at public auction. The
Committee recommended approval to sell the vehicle to the City of

approximately $150, 000 for these improvements. Wickstrom related
the money could come from the unencumbered water utility funds. He

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.

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.

Re: City of Kent - Water System Review

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 .

Unit 361 is a 1985 Plymouth Fury, VIN 610646, with 90, 172
miles. 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.

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.

Canyon Drive Hazard Elimination Project
Morris explained a public meeting had been held concerning
temporary left turn restrictions on Canyon. 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.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Jon Johnson, Chair, Public Works Committee
FROM: Judy Woods, Chair, Downtown Revitalization Task Force
SUBJECT: PARKING AND TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS
On behalf of the Downtown Revitalization Task Force, I would like
to request that the Public Works Committee consider the following
recommendations discussed at a recent meeting.
* Apply a two-hour limit to the first two rows of parking
in the city lot on Titus Street. (The Task Force and
KDA believe that this will reduce the number of cars
that park throughout the working day from residents of
the CBD and local employees. 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.

-.. January 15, 1988
TO: Mayor Kelleher and City Council
FROM: Jim White, President of the Council
Chair of Task Force
RE: Recommendations of the Task Force on Proposed
Legislation by Economic Development Council
Infrastructure Financing Project Committee
' At their December 4 meeting, the Subcommittee of this Task Force
chaired by Elmira Forner, reviewed the status of legislative
proposals by PSCOG, EDC, Covington Council , Kent Chamber of
Commerce , VATA, Eastside Transportation Program and AWC on
transportation funding. It was recommended the City support the
formation of a Transportation Benefit District that was project
specific.
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. 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.

a jurisdiction to defer property assessments on

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.

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.
