The Honorable Mayor Dan Kellerher
City of Kent
Kent, WA 98032
near Mr. Kellerher:
The ten members of the Kaibara friendship delegation and I, who were
participating in the Centennial celebration of Washington state, were
deeply impressed with the incredibly warm reception shown by yourself,
government officials and many citizens while we were Lr Kent. Please
accept our sincerest appreciation from the completed an extrem�.AY meaningfulbottom journey and home safely.have
All the facilities you showed us in 'Kent were wonderful. We are
certain that we learned a lot from these and it would be very helpful in
implementing some of the ideas into our future similar facilities.
Especially, I regret very much that while Kent has the Kaibara park,
there is no such thing as Kent Park. I will definitely see to it that
the Kent Park will be built before long.
Furthermore, I would like to renew our pledge that we all will work
harder to enhance the sister-city relationship between Kent and Kaibara.
I recall that during the luncheon speech at the Kent senior Center
you mentioned of your plan to visit Kaibara next year. I hope that you
will bring a lot of people with you. And I am looking forward to
providing you with the same kind of hospitality shown to us.
Before closing, I wish you and your citizens every prosperity and
health.
once again, thank you very much for your extraordinary courtesies
and hospitality extended to our delegates.
sincerely yours,
Kotaro Yasui

TO: Mayor Kelleher
City Council
FROM: Don Wickstrom,
RE: LID 334 - Derbyshire #7 Sanitary Sewer
121st Ave. , 122nd Ave. , and 276th St)
September 5, 1989 has been set for the Public Hearing on the final
assessment roll for LID 334 .
BACKGROUND
Resolution No. 1167 adopted by City Council on April 19 , 1988
established May 17, 1988 for the public hearing on LID 334 . All
of this was the result of a petition received in March 1988 and
subsequent contact with property owners which indicated sufficient
support. Ordinance No. 2781 was passed on June 7 , 1988 creating
the LID.
DESCRIPTION OF IMPROVEMENTS
Sanitary Sewer Improvements
Description: Includes the installation of 8-inch sanitary sewers,
6-inch side sewers and related appurtenances.
ON FROM TO
121st Ave. SE SE 276th Street Cul-de-Sac, North of

Lots 6 and 7 Ave SE Intersection approximately 135 ft
southeasterly
PROJECT FUNDING
This project is to be 100% LID financed except for an extra depth
cost to be paid by the City.
COST SUMMARY
LID CITY TOTAL
PRELIMINARY 135, 200 27,210 162 , 410
($5, 200/Lot)
FINAL 156, 610. 48 31, 518 .91 188, 129 . 39
($6, 023 . 48/Lot)
See the attached letter which was sent to the property owners with
the hearing notice explaining the increased assessments. It should
be noted that a new water system for the area was also included in
the contract for LID 334 . The City paid 100% of the watermain cost
and the cost of the asphalt overlay for repaving the road.
METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
Each property serviced is being assessed. Since each lot is a
single family residential lot each receiving one service, the
berie-`it is -equal for all parcels. Therefore, the cost is evenly
spread over all lots within the L. I.D.
PAYMENT OF ASSESSMENT
Upon Council passing the ordinance confirming the final assessment
roll (after completion of the construction) , there is a 30-day
period in which any portion or all of the assessment can be paid
without interest charges. After theP-dav p� +-he balance is
paid over a ten year period wherein each year's payment is 1/10th
of the principal plus interest on the unpaid balance. The interest
will be what the market dictates:
NEED FOR IMPROVEMENT
The project location is a developed residential area composed of
single family lots which were on septic tanks. For years, it has
been known that the septic systems in the general Derbyshire area
function poorly or - not at all. However, previous attempts to
install sewers have failed.
It has been reported that within the Derbyshire area that some
residents have made illegal connections to the storm drains to
avoid the consequence of a failing septic system. Residents
reported that there was raw sewage on the surface of the ground and
that septic odor was a real widespread problem.
The Seattle-King County Department of Public Health identified
various failing septic systems within the general area. These
problems were a threat to everybody who lives in the area. Most
of the problems were not repairable and were expected to become
worse and more widespread. The only economically feasible
alternative was to install a public sewer system.
It was also our understanding that one house within Derbyshire No.
7 was vacated by order of the Seattle-King County Health Department
until sewers became available. It was estimated that for this
particular house, the cost of a septic system reconstruction would
exceed the cost of the sanitary sewer LID assessment.
If the situation had deteriorated further, more people would have
probably been removed from their homes.
Knowing the severity of the problem, property owners within
Derbyshire No. 7 came to the City to request sanitary sewers. A
petition was circulated for which 22 signatures out of 26
properties were received. Subsequently, the LID was approved.
REVIEW BOARD APPROVAL
This LID is outside of the City limits but is within the City' s
sewer franchise area. However, final approval of this specific
project by the King County Boundary Review Board was required. To
satisfy the Review Board, the City is requiring each person
applying for a sewer permit to execute a "Petition for Annexation
and Declaration of Covenant. " This means that in the case of an
annexation attempt the property will be counted as a "yes" vote and
once enough covenants have been signed, an annexation could
proceed. The covenant procedure is an alternative to requiring
actual annexation prior to formation of the LID and expedites the
sewer installation.
August 14, 1989
RE: LID 334 Derbyshire #7 Sanitary Sewers
Dear Property Owner:
Enclosed is your final assessment hearing notice. The final
assessment amount is greater than the preliminary estimated
assessment due primarily to unforeseen conditions which were
encountered in the field. These conditions resulted primarily from
poor soil conditions which lead to additional costs associated with
the road restoration. For the most part, the cost overruns
resulted from increased quantities of crushed rock and asphalt used
during the project to keep the roadway driveable and to'restore and
patch the road prior to the overlay.
Please note that these extra costs were split evenly with the water
main replacement portion of the project which was 100% City funded.
Also the City is funding 100% of the asphalt overlay cost since the
County would have constructed the overlay at no cost to the
property owners had it not been for the utility project.
Also, the property owners are assessed only for the cost to install
the sewer deep enough to service the properties within the L. I. D.
As originally proposed, the City is paying for the extra depth
costs associated with the L. I. D. 334 sewer which resulted from
installing the sewer deeper as required for future extension to the
West.
Should you have any questions, please call me at 859-3384 .
Very truly yours,
Don E. Wickstrom, P.E.

TO: Local Traffic Safety Task Force Coordinators
FROM: Julia terson, Deputy Director
Wash' Traffic Safety Commission
SUBJECT: State Traffic Safety Project Funding
Included hexewith is your state funded traffic safety project
in the same dollar amount as authorized fors your 1989 feder-
ally funded project which ended on June 30, 1989 . The state
funded (PSEA account) project started on July 1, 1989 and
ends on June 30, 1990-. The sixteen projects total $611, 264
state dollars which leaves an available balance of $588, 736
($1. 2 million for the 189-191 biennium) to cover- the same
projects for the second year of the biennium. With this
shortfall of $22, 528 for the second year (July 1, 1990 - June
30, 1991) staring you in the face, collectively the Alliance
for Safe and Sober Driving will have to make some financial
decisions or we will have to arbitrarily do it for you next
year. One option is for you to collectively underspend your
current projects by $22, 528 which would permit us to fund the
second year at the current $611, 264 amount. This also gives
you some time to obtain local funding support from your sup-
port echelon (county/city government, etc. ) for the second
year, as appropriate, to cover salary adjustments, inflation,
etc. Failing the above, we will probably assign the same
percentage reduction to all project amounts in the second
year and have you "force" your reimbursement budget into this
amount. Consider your situation and recommend that the
President of the Alliance perform further contact with the
coordinators and give us your position, if you 'can establish
one.
Traffic safety project report and invoice voucher (reimburse-
ment) forms are also included for your use. Note that your
jurisdiction' s claims are to be submitted monthly. .
If you have further questions, please contact George Meyer at

TO: Mayor Kelleher and City Council
FROM: Don Wickstrom
RE: Environmental Mitigation Fund
The Public Works Committee at their August 22, 1989 meeting
recommended approval to adjust the Environmental Mitigation Fund
to provide for additional revenue from the King County Recycling
Grant and expenditures associated with the planned Fall Cleanup,
previous spring cleanup, last year' s Christmas Tree pickup and
recycling costs. Since that meeting, the City has established a
garbage utility whereby there would be no additional costs to the
City for the Fall Cleanup. Therefore, our request for adjustment
of the fund has been reduced accordingly. We had requested an
adjustment to provide for $40, 000 in additional revenue and $43 , 300
in additional expenditures ($14, 000 Fall Cleanup, $5, 000 spring
cleanup, $2 , 000 recycling, $2 , 300 Christmas Tree pickup, $20,000
recycling costs) . Our request now is to adjust the fund to provide
for $40, 000 additional revenue from the Recycling Grant and $29 , 300
in additional expenditures.

ATTENDEES: Jon Johnson Jerry McCaughan

Gary opened with the discussion of the funding for Fall cleanup
noting that it is more of a budget item to look at where the funds
will be coming from to continue with the clean up/recycling program
as has been approved to date, both being paid for out of the
utility tax. Basically we are trying to appropriate the additional
funds that would be needed to do the Fall cleanup. Essentially the
costs came in at about $14 , 000 for the Spring cleanup where it was
anticipated about $9 , 000 in actual budget, so it was exceeded by
about $5 , 000 . This would not allow for funding for Fall cleanup
or Christmas tree pickup (already completed in January 1989) . We
are expecting the cost to be an additional $14 , 000 for Fall clean
up. $70 , 000 was budgeted for the recycling program and we are
anticipating to exceed that by about $2 , 000 . We are getting more
participants in the recycling program than we had originally
anticipated. The other funds are costs relating to our recycling
grant program. What we wanted to do was to allocate the funds from
our utility tax to cover these costs .
Jon Johnson states if we go back into the garbage business, this
would make this "moot" , assuming that this is one of the provisions
of our contract, the hauler would provide the service. Sandra
Driscoll states that the ordinance presented before the Council is
consistent with last week' s motion to have the same provisions we
had prior to going out of the business, which would than require
that the Fall and Spring and Christmas tree cleanup and the City
pickup all be at no cost to the City and therefore covered by the
rate. So that part of this request would be moot. The only item
remaining is the recycling contract.
Bonnie Fell explains that the first $5000 is for the Spring cleanup
which has already been accomplished and the $2300 for the Christmas
trees that we already picked up in January. So the only change
would be on the $14 , 000 for the Fall cleanup if the Council passes
the ordinance.
Bernie Biteman states that it might be well to indicate that we
have a recycling grant of $60, 000 to start and of this we are
requesting that be allocated in the way you have indicated here.
Gary explains that this is over a three year period. $20, 000 of
that would be for 189 .
Bonnie explains that $40, 000 includes a 1988 grant of $20, 000 for
set up costs involved with the program during 1988 , which was not
finalized until 1989 as well as the 1989 grant of $20, 000 to
continue the recycling program as a 50/50 reimbursement during
1989 .
Bernie asks that if we wrote it to be at no expense on our
recycling etc. , which means it would have to be renegotiated on the
rates - Sandra states that would be the Council 's decision as to
whether or not they wanted to renegotiate the rates. The proposal
tonight would have status quo maintained which we include that the
rates would be the same as well. It is totally within the Council
authority to order that this be done in the future.
Allocation of the funds to cover these costs that would come from
that utility tax. We show that we would have an estimated balance
at the end of 189 of about $216, 000 with this. It is not building
up quite as fast as the Council had originally anticipated but
there is still adequate funding there.
Biteman moves that this be sent to Council, seconded by Johnson.
The next item discussed was the proposed annexation of Pacific
Highway between S . 252nd and S . 260th with Gary indicating its
location on a map. Citizen concerns relates to lack of feedback
from the County over concerns with traffic, and possibly some of
the drug problems that could be occurring in some of the multi
family areas as well as lack of other services that the County is
providing. The Street Dept. did a detailed review on the condition
of the roadways in that area and have indicated some significant
costs to overlay and upgrade those streets.
Jim Hansen states that some months ago the Committee established
the priority for two annexation areas indicating area 1 and area
2 on a handout map. Area 2 is in a high priority area and it
certainly warrants merit of us examining the feasibility of
annexation. In addition, because virtually the same effort has to
be put into an annexation regardless of its size, it might make
sense if we were to seriously look at this to examine the
feasibility of making this larger than the area shown. The area
indicated is 57 acres but the rectangle between Pacific Highway and
our existing City limits which is Military, area 2 goes down to
272nd being another 12 blocks south and also generally runs over
to Star Lake. It may be feasible to go ahead and look at an
enlarged area as far south as 272nd since Federal Way just
established that as their northern boundary, and examine as a total
area between I-5 and Pac Highway east/west 252nd on the north and
272nd on the south as a potential area. John Marchione developed

PROPOSAL FOR VOTER APPROVED SENIOR HOUSING BOND ISSUE
Senior Planner Dan Stroh informed the Committee of the Mayors
Assisted Housing Committee and their examination of the City's need
for low income senior housing. A recommendation of a $6.7 million
voter-approved bond issue to be placed on the November ballot was
introduced. The proposed bonds would be repaid over 20 years
through an increase in property taxes. Depending upon assessed
valuation and interest rates at the time of the bond sale, the
annual increase in property taxes on a $1o0,000 home would be in
the $24 range.
The funds would be used to build a minimum of 92 units of senior
housing. This would meet roughly 25% of the identified need of 350
units of senior housing as displayed in a survey performed.
Councilmember Mann moved the Committee support the proposed
ordinance allowing the bond issue be placed on the November ballot
and recommend endorsement to Council. The Committee approved this
recommendation to the Council as Other Business by a vote of 3-0.
DRUG REAL ESTATE AND PERSONAL PROPERTY FORFEITURE- ATTORNEY FEES
City Attorney Driscoll explained to the Committee that the recent
police work related to drug trafficking and money laundering in
Kent and Auburn has had a dramatic impact on the Law department.
Driscoll then requested a $15, 000 budget extension for hiring an
outside attorney to handle this matter to be reimbursed at a later
date, once certain personal property is forfeited, to cover these
fees.
Finance Director McCarthy proposed setting up a separate fund to
place the costs incurred in this project by Law and Police until
the reimbursement is available. This will allow the City to
accumulate and monitor the costs reducing the interim impact on the
general fund.
The Committee recommended to the Council the temporary budget
extension of $15, 000 to hire an outside attorney by a vote of 3-0.
ARMOR CAR SERVICE CONTRACT
Finance Director McCarthy informed the Committee of the need to
update our contract with Continental Armored Transport, Inc. as
they have changed names to Armored Transport Northwest, Inc. The
contract renewal was previously approved in the Banking Services
Agreement and the Mayors signature on the revised contract is all
that is needed at this time.
The Committee recommended this request to Council for the 9/5/89
Consent Calendar.
CIVIL SERVICE CONTRACT
City Attorney Driscoll presented to the Committee an Ordinance to
provide for coverage of non-uniform police personnel by Civil
Service.
The Committee recommended this Ordinance to Council under Other
Business by a vote of 3-0.
WUTC GARBAGE HAULING RULING
Councilmember Mann informed the Committee of his dissatisfaction
with the recent garbage rulings by WUTC allowing Tri-Star to
franchise the entire City of Kent and Kent Disposal limited only
to Kent's core area. The rulings also denied the City the ability
to require these garbage companies perform such services as free
fall/spring pick up and senior citizen discount rates. The City
can recommend these extras be performed but not require them.
Counc i lmember Mann then presented a list of options to be presented
to the Council.
The Committee recommended these issues be discussed as an
additional item at Council meeting on August 15, 1989 by a vote of
2-1.

area between I-5 and Pac Highway east/west 252nd on the north and
272nd on the south as a potential area. John Marchione developed
a model to examine pluses and minuses in dollars. It is a
national model that has been modified somewhat to fit Kent and we
would want to use that to the degree that we could to get a sense
of how much it might cost the City to provide the services to this
area against potential revenue over time. commercial areas
generate a great deal of revenue and single family areas generate
less. Once we compile this information it would be appropriate if
we came back to the Committee with a recommendation on whether the
area should be larger or smaller. We want to follow the Council 's
policy that area #2 was the second highest priority and if there
is a willing property owner who is very enthusiastic on this, there
may be a number of others . We are developing a brochure to meet
with neighborhoods to provide as much information as we can as to
the services we have available. It is good timing in that Kent is
building a fire station and police precinct very close by.
Biteman states that in the meetings with the 272nd groups, he
recalls the support for an approach for annexation demonstrated.
The next item discussed was a draft ordinance prepared by the Legal
Dept. at Bernie Biteman' s request to assist in responding to
complaints regarding the commercial trucks being parked on
residential streets .
Biteman states that over the past 3 - 4 years the truck drivers
have taken liberty to park either on Military Rd. or the cut off
in front of 38th unaware of the fact that this is our main entrance
and exit on the hill . It is heavily traveled and with the trucks
parked on one or both sides of the street it is a dangerous area.
It was found that a loophole was in the ordinance which limited
trailers to be parked but did not say anything about the cab.
Referring to the draft ordinance, Marty Nizlek indicates that on
page 1, Section 1 reference is made to 8000 lbs, that is not
carried over to Section 2 KC 15 . 08 . 090 on page 2 and that would be
helpful . Also noted that where it states, no commercial truck,
vehicle, van, trailer or semi-trailer "greater than 8 , 000 lbs. "
should be added her-e as well . Sandra stated this correction will
be made.
Jon Johnson suggests that it should be taken to Council on Sept 5th
and prior to that time, the departments that want to comment on the
ordinance can do so.
Bernie Biteman moves that this Ordinance be taken to Council under
Other Business, on Sept 5th and seconded by Jon Johnson.
Gary comments on the removal of the stripe on 94th to be removed
in front of Maureen McNamara ' s house and will get with the Street
Dept. as to it' s schedule of handling this.
At a previous Council meeting, McNamara had inquired as to the
program with regard to damage caused to private citizens by
developers. Upon the Mayor' s suggestion at the July 5th Council
meeting, the City Attorney agreed to look into the types of
requirements which cities could put on private contractors and
report back to the Public Works Committee. Sandra stated at this
time that she had reported directly back to McNamara on her
inquiry.
Gary states that we have now a set of standards circulating within
the City for comments from other departments. It may not however,
address very clearly the types of concerns that we are going to
have on substandard streets that arose as part of the Lavender
Hills project. When you get into areas of sub-standard streets,
then you ' re dealing with off-site improvements and those are a
little more difficult to deal with.
Biteman would like an emphasis on including at least sidewalks on
the one side of streets. Jon states a sidewalk plan would be a
good idea especially in those areas where children are walking to
and from school to avoid accidents.
The Traffic Division has been in contact with the School Districts
to try to identify which schools had walking areas and what routes
were used primarily from the residential communities. It is now
at the data collecting stage. Biteman recalls that funds had been
allocated for that issue last year.
McNamara feels that decisions are being made to change the
character of citizens neighborhood from rural to urban with
sidewalks.
Johnson explains that he refers to a complete subdivision with all
houses and have no sidewalks and those people have demanded that
we put sidewalks in.
Biteman explains that the demands are coming from parents of school
children.
