MINUTES (CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM 3A) Approval of Minutes. APPROVAL of the minutes of the regular Council meeting of April 4 , 1989, with the following correction to Item 3C on page 17 : Acknowledgement of the contribution TO the Kent Police Crime Prevention Unit of $100 FROM the American Legion to be used in the Drug Abuse Resistance Education Program (DARE) . STREETS LID 327 West Valley Hicthway Improvements. The public hearing on confirmation of final assessment roll for LID 327 has been continued to this date. LID 327 Copies of Gary Volchok's evaluations and Public Works Director Wickstrom's conclusions regarding Assessments 47 and 63 were distributed with the agenda packet and have been made a part of the record. Wickstrom recommends that Assessment No. 63 , owned by Jack Keck not be changed and that Assessment No. 47, owned by WCI Realty be reduced from $92,950. 00 to $41, 678 .33 for reasons given at the April 4 Council meeting. Mel Kleweno, attorney for Jack Keck, submitted a Memorandum of Authorities and an appraisal of the property prepared by Charles Mattaini, Real Estate Appraiser from Renton. Both were distributed to the Council and have been filed for the record. Kleweno established that Mattaini was qualified as an expert in this field and Mattaini stated that he found that the market value for the Keck property would be the same both before and after the improvements to West Valley Highway. Kleweno noted that the property should not be assessed since there would be no special benefits. He stated that Volchok' s report did not show "before" and "after" figures. 2 April 18 , 1989 STREETS Robert Hines, attorney for WCI Realty stated that he had objected to Assessment No. 47 and had filed a report by an appraiser at the March 21st meeting. LID 327 He further stated that Volchok's information was not really an appraisal. He referred to the six items of improvement listed by Volchok, four of which are already provided. He noted especially that the proposed future traffic signal was not a special benefit to the property but rather a benefit to the public. Hines stated that in order to be valid, special benefits to the property should be immediate benefits and not based upon what might happen in the future. Gary Volchok, of Coldwell Banker, who prepared the report for the City, stated that he was not an MAI Appraiser, but had 20 years of experience in selling land in this area, consisting of 120 different parcels totalling 1400 acres. He noted that his report was based upon whether or not the LID improvements would benefit these two particular parcels, and thus enhance the value of the property. With reference to Assessment No. 47 , he pointed out the assessment amount recommended by Wickstrom, $41, 678 . 33 , is the amount estimated as the cost of improving the portion of West Valley Highway if the owner were to develop the east half of his property. Volchok opined that he would consider therefore that the property would receive special benefits in this amount. Volchok noted that this property shows as industrial property on the Comprehensive Plan and as such would be worth more than under the current Mobile Home Park Zoning. He observed that this would be a fairly inexpensive way to gain improvements to the property with far reaching effects if the zoning should change to industrial use. He estimated that the assessment of $28 ,565.00 for this improvement represented special benefits to this property. Upon questions from the Mayor and Council the City Attorney advised: 3 April 18 , 1989 STREETS That it is the burden of the Council to consider and weigh the information supplied by the staff and by the protestors. LID 327 The property owners have the burden of presenting background information supporting their protests. The City's policy which could exempt single family residential property from LIDS would not apply to a mobile home park. The Council cannot consider what the benefits to the property might become in the future if, for instance, the property were to be rezoned at a later date. The public hearing was then closed on MOTION MADE BY MANN, seconded by Biteman. MANN MOVED that in light of testimony received, significant doubt has been raised as to whether or not Assessment Items No. 47 and No. 63 have specific benefits accrued to the properties from the LID improvements and therefore should be excluded from the assessment roll . Biteman seconded. Upon Dowell ' s question, Driscoll noted that testimony of an expert appraiser was not required. Dowell asked if others included in the LID might now come forth and object to the assessments. Driscoll explained that this public hearing is the avenue used to protest assessments. Dowell asked about how the costs would be paid if these two items were deleted from the roll, and if the other owners in the LID would have to pick up the costs, without having been so notified. Wickstrom noted that if it became necessary to increase assessments, a supplemental assessment roll would be issued for which proper notification would be given and a public hearing held. JOHNSON MOVED to amend the motion to exclude only Assessment No. 63 . The motion died for lack of a 4 April 18 , 1989 STREETS second. Mann's motion to delete both Keck's and WCI Realty' s assessments then carried, with Dowell and Johnson opposing. (CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM 3M) Canyon Road Improvements. ADOPTION of ordinance 2844 , authorizing staff to proceed with condemnation proceedings for right-of-way acquisition on parcels for the Canyon Road improvements project. Upon Dowell ' s question, Wickstrom verified that the property involved was on the northeast side from approximately the Keck property to Weiland Street. STREET Union Pacific Realty Street Vacation No. STV-89-2. VACATION Union Pacific Realty Company has petitioned to vacate a portion of 63rd Avenue South just south of South 212th Street. Proper legal notice has been given by the City Clerk. The public hearing was opened and no comments were made. The public hearing was closed by motion and JOHNSON MOVED to approve Street Vacation No. STV-89-2 with one condition as outlined in the staff report dated 4/13/89 and to direct the City Attorney to prepare the required ordinance upon receipt of the compensation. ANNEXATION (CONSENT CALENDAR 3H) ACTION PLAN REMOVED BY MAYOR KELLEHER 1989 - 1990 Annexation Action Plan. Resolution 1199 has been prepared adopting a priority annexation map. The City Council at their retreat in January directed the staff to develop and implement an Annexation Action Plan by March of this year. At the March 21, 1989 meeting of the Planning Committee, the draft Action Plan was reviewed and recommended for approval. At Mayor Kelleher' s request Jim Hansen explained the map of the areas to be considered for future annexation. The Mayor suggested that Areas 3 and 4 be changed so as not to include the South 277th area. He noted that widening of South 277th would be costly and at present the State and King County would be participating in the cost. If the street was a part of the city, Kent would be responsible for the 5 April 18, 1989 ANNEXATION entire cost. He asked that the Council amend the ACTION PLAN plan and the map so as not to include South 277th and to refer Areas 3 and 4 to the Planning Committee for further review. BITEMAN MOVED to adopt Resolution 1199 with the requested amendment. Johnson seconded and the motion carried. EAST VALLEY East Valley Zoning Implementation No. CPZ-88-1. ZONING This proposal stems from the East Valley Amendments IMPLEMENTATION to the Valley Floor Plan adopted by Council June, 1988 and includes three recommended actions: 1. A text amendment of the zoning code creating a new zoning designation "Gateway Commercial" ; 2 . Application of the new Gateway Commercial Zone to an area bordering the East Valley Highway; 3 . Application of an "Office Zone" designation to an area bordering the SR 167/South 212th Street interchange. Ken Astrein of the Planning Department explained the proposal. WOODS MOVED to approve the East Valley Zoning Implementation No. CPZ-88-1, including a zoning code text amendment and application of zoning as recommended by the Planning Commission and approved by the Planning Committee at today's meeting and to direct the City Attorney to prepare the necessary ordinances. Biteman seconded and the motion carried. COMMUNITY 1990 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) DEVELOPMENT Program Policies and Funding. A public hearing has BLOCK GRANT been scheduled for the Council to consider the action required to receive the 1990 Community Development Block Grant Funds. The public hearing was declared open by Mayor Kelleher. Lin Ball of the Planning Department explained that the funds estimated for Kent for 1990 total $168 , 141. 00 and that the Planning Committee 6 April 18 , 1989 COMMUNITY recommended that the following action be taken by DEVELOPMENT the Council: BLOCK GRANT 1. Adoption of 1990 CDBG local program policies. 2 . Elect to receive "pass through" funds. 3 . Allocate 15 percent of funds for public (human) services. 4 . Allocate 6 percent of funds for planning and administration. There were no comments from the audience and the hearing was closed, by motion. WOODS MOVED to approve the four items as requested and Houser seconded. BITEMAN MOVED that Item No. 3 be delayed until discussion of the Human Services item to be undertaken later in the meeting. The motion failed for lack of a second. Woods' motion then carried. ZONING CODE (CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM 3E) AMENDMENT Ordinance. ADOPTION of Ordinance 2843 amending the Zoning Code, allowing meat and seafood products processing (without rendering) , packaging and M. freezing as principally permitted uses in the M2 (limited industrial) and M3 (general industrial) zoning districts, as approved by the Council on April 4 , 1989 . COMPREHENSIVE Central Business District (Downtown) Plan Update. PLAN The Downtown Plan is an element of the City's Comprehensive Plan and would rename and replace the Downtown existing Central Business District (CBD) Plan. The Plan Planning Commission held a number of public hearings on this proposed plan and recommended it to the City Council on March 27 , 1989. Fred Satterstrom of the Planning Department noted that hearings before the Planning Commission had lasted for one year and citizen groups, including the Mayor's Downtown Revitalization Task Force, had contributed information and ideas. The new plan expands the downtown area beyond the CBD boundaries, considers the role of manufacturing in the downtown area, expands the flexibility and use provisions to allow mixed use, and provides for implementation of annual review of the plan. Satterstrom expressed 7 April 18 , 1989 COMPREHENSIVE appreciation to all those who had worked on this PLAN plan. Upon Dowell ' s question, he noted that although the Meeker Street area has some vacant Downtown stores, there is growth, primarily to the north and Plan to the east. Dee Eklund stated that the Chamber of Commerce extends compliments to the City staff for objectively considering the views presented by the different groups. Woods, as chairperson of the Downtown Revitalization Task Force, submitted a letter describing the Force's recommendation regarding the role of manufacturing, and recommending that the Council approve the proposed Downtown Plan as submitted. The letter was filed as a part of the record. WOODS MOVED to adopt the Downtown Plan update as recommended by the Planning Commission and to direct the City Attorney to prepare the necessary resolution and to direct the City staff to implement the plan. Mann seconded; then Johnson read from the Plan under Land Use Goals and Policies, at the top of page 2 as follows: "Construct a pedestrian underpass or overpass at - Meeker Street between Railroad Avenue South and First Avenue South adjacent to the Burlington Northern Railroad Depot. " and MOVED to add an amendment to the beginning of the sentence: "Examine the feasibility of constructing. . . . " This was accepted as a friendly amendment and Woods and Mann agreed to incorporate it into the motion. The motion then carried. HUMAN SERVICES Funding. The Human Services Commission and the City FUNDING Planning Committee have recommended that the City establish a predictable funding base for human services consisting of one percent of the current year's General Revenue Budget. Minutes of the Human Services Commission and of the Planning Committee were distributed with the packet along with a memo from Lin Ball of the Planning Department. Ms. Ball gave the background information, noting that the Commission had been working on this in order to have funds to more adequately meet the needs of the community. 8 April 18 , 1989 HUMAN SERVICES Letters supporting the 1% funding proposal have been FUNDING received and filed for the record from: Children' s Therapy Center, United Methodist Church, King County Rape Relief, Covington Community Church, South King County Council of Human Services, First Baptist Church, United Way, Kent Ministerial Association, Christian Church of Kent, Community Service Center and DAWN. Dee Moschel noted that letters from the Soroptimist Club and from the Community Health Center were also sent to the Council . Marvin Eckfeldt noted that the Commission was formed in 1986 with funding in 1987 of $90, 500. 00 for five agencies, in 1988 $109,500.00 for 6 agencies and in 1989 $117 ,700.00 for 6 agencies. He pointed out that only half of the requests were currently being funded. Other cities have funded human services needs by direct budget allocation, by allocation of sales tax funds or on a per capita basis. Reverend Eckfeldt pointed out that based on the current year's revenue budget the Human Services budget would be increased from $117,700. 00 to $231, 800 . 00 the first year. Increases for the following years would be considerably less. Future needs and appreciation for past support were expressed by representatives of the following: Kent Community Clinic, Catholic Community Services, Childen' s Therapy Center and the Kent School District. Dee Eklund noted that the Chamber of Commerce has not taken a position on this issue but had expressed some concern at specifying 1%. Dee Moschel explained that the 4 .4% of the total general fund expenditures shown in the current budget as human services include services mandated by law and include also Parks programs: Senior Center, Special Populations and Adult Day Care. She noted that in 1988, $90,568.00 was allocated for Human Services, only 47% of the requests made for funding. The 1989 figure of $117,750. 00 was only 57% of the amount requested. 9 April 18 , 1989 V HUMAN SERVICES WOODS MOVED to direct the City Attorney to prepare a FUNDING resolution establishing a Human Services funding level of 1% of the current year general fund revenue budget. The funds would be used specifically for direct services to City of Kent residents according to the criteria set forth in the report of the Human Services Study Committee on human services policies, adopted by the City Council in August, 1986. Mann seconded. Houser noted that all favored increasing the funds for Human Services but that the question was whether this was the way to do it. It was determined that the budget included no funds for staff support, and that the Commissioners served without pay. Mann noted that the City appreciated the service of the Commissioners and that he supported the recommendation. It was determined that the Council would still allocate the funds to the agencies with recommendations coming from the Commission. Biteman noted that City government funds were seldom allocated to cover all of the requests for individual departments, capital projects, etc. Biteman questioned the allocation of a firm 1% noting that the City funds were not generally distributed in this manner. He commented that agencies would come to depend upon the funds and that they may not be forthcoming in lean years. Woods noted that the Commission had given assurance that the process through which allocations were made would be overseen diligently and that the Councilmembers would have to make the decisions each year. Biteman noted he favored the program but the problem was the dedicated 1%. Mann noted that Kent was a leader in many fields and was already a leader in Human Services. He favored supporting the 1% funding level. Dowell opined that this proposal is inflexible and probably fiscally irresponsible. He suggested that a dollar amount be applied and noted that he would favor increasing the Human Services budget in the amount of 10% for inflation, 10% for population 10 April 18 , 1989 i HUMAN SERVICES increase and 10% for growth of the program FUNDING improvements. Upon a roll call vote, Johnson, Mann and Woods voted in favor, and Houser, Biteman .and Dowell voted against, resulting in a tie. Mayor Kelleher then voted in favor and the motion carried. SOLID WASTE Solid Waste Disposal Rates. King County is currently collecting a surcharge on the garbage dumping fee for an energy resource recovery fund. However, the County has determined not to construct such a facility. Resolution 1201 has been prepared calling for the County to cease collecting the money and return it to the City. BITEMAN MOVED to adopt Resolution 1201. Houser seconded and the motion carried. DISABILITY (CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM 3P) BOARD Disability Board Appointment. CONFIRMATION of the Mayor's appointment of Berne Biteman to replace Jon Johnson as one of the City Council representatives on the LEOFF Disability Board. This term will expire 12-31-90.

APPROVAL is requested for a plan to commission Kent artist, Danny Pierce, to create an oil painting dealing with Kent history which will then be painted as a mural on the east wall of the Titusville Station Building (facing First Avenue) , at a cost of $4, 000. 00. The painting will be the property of the City of Kent. The Titusville Station wall owners will sign a five-year lease agreement not to remove or destroy the mural. Upon Dowell 's question, Patrice Thorell explained that the average life of a mural was five years and that the City Art Program provided for acquisition of both permanent and temporary artwork. It was determined that we could ask the property owners to extend the time. DOWELL THEN MOVED to approve the plan. Biteman seconded and the motion carried. 11 April 18 , 1989 POLICE (CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM 3J) Internal Affairs Coordinator. AUTHORIZATION to create a new position, Internal Affairs Coordinator, within the Police Department to be filled by Detective Chuck Miller and authorization for a mid- year adjustment to the Police Department' s budget authorizing the hire of one additional police officer to fill the vacancy that would be caused by Detective Miller' s transfer.

He suggested that we repair the roof and put on new gutters. The requested proposals to have the roof repaired ranged from the following: $ 4 , 346. 00 plus tax for a 5 year roof with no guarantee. $ 11, 883 . 00 plus tax for a 20 year roof with a 5 year guarantee. $ 36,233 . 00 plus tax for a 20 year roof with a 5 year guarantee. $ 2, 420. 00 plus tax to replace gutters. I have $ 2 , 500. 00 budgeted to paint the shop building and recommend not painting the building until next year and using the money towards the roof. The total cost for the roof and gutters is $15, 462 . 00 of which 80% will come the utilities and 20% from the general fund. I am requesting $ 12 , 962 . 00 and authorization to repair the roof and replace the gutters. }e Kent City Council Meeting O �� Date May 2 . 1989 \^� �, I Category Consent Calendar `6` 1.

Responding to Dowell ' s question, Nizlek indicated the installation of the islands has not been designed or funded as yet. It is estimated the cost would be $5, 000. Nizlek added that one problem that could develop if islands are installed restricting movements from Frager is that traffic will then begin to use Russell as an alternative. There was further discussion about the clarity of the meaning of the signs and the affect of the Frager Road residents if the hours of applicability were removed. Biteman requested a traffic count during the off-peak hours and the number of accidents occurring be brought back to the Committee. Johnson asked for the number of citations that has been issued as well. It was further determined the residents along Frager should be contacted to receive their input on eliminating the hours of applicability. This item will be brought back before the Committee at their next meeting. 100th Avenue S E Walkway Improvements - Approval of Funds Dowell moved to approve this item and to place it on the Consent Calendar for the next Council agenda. Master Meter Request - Bennett Business Park Wickstrom explained he was recommending a master meter be approved subject to the conditions contained in his memo. Wickstrom further explained the owner built five buildings and provided water service to them from an existing meter without making any water applications to the City. In order to obtain a certificate of occupancy for these buildings, this discrepancy, and others, must be corrected within sixty days. As such, he either must service each building with a separate meter or obtain Council approval of a master meter which he essentially already has. The conditions require he furnish the City with a certified calculation that the meter is the correct size and if not replace it with the appropriate sized meter and vault and pay any associated fees. The Committee unanimously approved the recommendation. Target Issues Report from Public Works Wickstrom explained the report was presented to the Committee for their review and comments. Biteman inquired about the status of the mitigation agreement. Wickstrom indicated he thought the Task Force would be meeting in June to make a final decision on a generic agreement on which our legal staff and Ted Knapp have been DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS April 20, 1989 TO: Public Works Committee FROM: Don Wickstroz,') RE: Walkway Improvements - 100th Avenue S.E. At the March 17 Committee meeting, approval was given to proceed with the recommended walkway improvements on 100th Avenue S.E. The proposed improvements would include providing an 8-foot wide oil-mat walkway on the west side of 100th from 240th to 228th. The cost for same has been estimated at $5, 000 which we would propose to fund from the Sidewalk Improvement Fund. Approval of the use of funds for same is sought. Public Works Committee March 17, 1989 Page 3 LID 327/328 - Agreement with Metro for Bus Pullouts Wickstrom explained that in conjunction with the West Valley Highway improvement project, we have been working with Metro and the State to include bus pullouts. Metro has agreed to pay for one-third of the costs and the State will pay for one-third. A copy of the draft agreement has been included with the Committee' s packet. Metro's share will be approximately $118, 000. The Committee unanimously voted to approve the Mayor's signature on the agreement. Intersection Concerns - 240th Nizlek referred to and reviewed the findings of his study on this item which is made a part of these minutes. For the situation at 100th, he would recommend the crossing guard exercise more authority and will bring this to the attention of the School District. Additionally, he recommends a marked crosswalk across 100th be provided and that the obstructions in the pathway be removed and pavement markers be placed to delineate the edge of the pavement. Wickstrom added there is some right of way which may have to be acquired in order to do this. Biteman asked that the School District be asked if this area would be one of their priorities. The Committee unanimously recommended approval of these recommendations. Nizlek reviewed the findings of the study at 102nd. His recommendations would be to attempt to shorten the signal cycle length to move the traffic more quickly and provide more frequent opportunities for the pedestrians to cross; continue to monitor the traffic and pedestrian activity and work with the retail establishments on their concerns. The Committee unanimously approved these recommendations. Nizlek reviewed the findings of the study of the 240th and 104th intersection. His recommendation is to place the proposed caution signs on the north-south corners. It was noted that construction of the 240th Street improvement project will alleviate some of the problems noted at this intersection. Biteman suggested we review the effects of these changes in approximately sixty days to determine if anything further needs to be or can be done. There was discussion about the location of the Metro bus stop. The Committee unanimously approved placement of the two caution signs.

The conditions should read as follows: 1. Owner shall furnish to the City for review and approval the water demand requirements of the development as calculated in accordance to the provisions and/or requirements of the Uniform Plumbing Code 19th Edition. Said calculation shall be certified and stamped as being same by a Washington State licensed civil engineer. 2 . Should the above current calculated water demand exceed the capacity limitations of the existing 2-inch meter as denoted in Section 7 . 06. 120 of the Kent City Code, or at such time that the actual water usage exceeds such capacity, the Owner shall immediately replace the existing metering facility with the appropriate sized meter and related appurtenances as per City standards. 3 .

As detailed in the Fleet Manager's memo attached, each of the three bids deviated from the bid specifications in varying degrees. After evaluation of the bids and field demonstrations of the equipment, it has been determined the bid submitted by Elder Equipment, Inc. for the Vermeer Brush Chipper in the amount of $16, 993 . 32 is the lowest responsible bid. While this bid contained one minor deviation from the bid specifications it is recommended this one discrepancy be waived and the Elder Equipment, Inc. bid be accepted. MEMORANDUM DATE: April 24, 1989 TO: Don Wickstrom Director of Public Works FROM: Jack Spencer Fleet Manage SUBJECT: Brush Chipper Bids We advertised for bids on April 3rd, 1989 and received bids on April 17th for a brush chipper. Three companies submitted bids.

It has only one specification it does not meet and 2 inches in the discharge height will not effect it's use. We tried the Vermeer and the Brush Bandit chippers on demonstration. All of the people who used them preferred the vertical feed to the horizontal feed. In all cases they said it made easier and smoother feeding and was safer for the operator to use. Also, the Vermeer Chipper has the highest feed rate of the machine' s bid. We have funds in capital outlay for the full amount of purchase.

Staff Present: Barney Wilson, Helen Wickstrom, Neil Sullivan, Patrice Thorell, Jack Ball, Lori Hogan, Cheryl Fraser, Robyn Bartelt, John Marchione, Carolyn Lake, Karen Michel, Pam Rumer. Senior Center - Electric Door openers Bartelt requested approval to spend additional monies to install two electric door openers at the Senior Center. Bartelt explained that the City appropriated $3500 to install the electric openers, however; the lowest bid received was $4357. Wickstrom added that she received permission from Tony McCarthy to spend the extra monies. The Committee unanimously agreed with Bartelt's request. Bartelt also reported that the new kitchen floor at the Senior Center will be installed on May 29 . Award for Barney Wilson Wickstrom reported that Barney Wilson was absent from the meeting because of his attendance at the Washington Secondary School Athletic Administrators Association Annual Conference. The Association is presenting Wilson with a Commendation Award in recognition for his outstanding service to the Washington State High School Athletic Program. Special Populations - Gold Medal Award Fraser explained that the Special Populations division has been nominated for the Special Populations Gold Medal Award by West Coast Awards. The department will learn in six weeks if they are a finalist. -2- Mill Creek Property Wickstrom reported that the department received a letter from a private party, regarding sale of Mill Creek Canyon property. Wickstrom pointed out that the property is actually Water Department property, and that neither the Engineering Department nor the Parks Department is interested in selling the land. Dowell recommended that the department write a letter to the interested party, explaining that selling the property is not a feasible option at this time. Golf Course Staffing Sullivan requested approval to add four new cashiering positions at the golf course, in addition to the four part-time positions that are included in the 1989 budget. This would result in an additional $25, 000 to fill the positions. (*The actual additional cost, including benefits, was calculated to be $37,800. ) After reviewing the request, the Committee unanimously accepted Sullivan' s proposal to hire four additional cashiers at the golf course for the remainder of 1989 . Street Closure Ordinance Thorell explained that it will be necessary to close some streets in downtown Kent as the Canterbury Faire and Balloon Classic events are taking place. In order to close these streets, it is necessary for Council to adopt an ordinance permitting such closures. Thorell pointed out which streets will be closed and explained how traffic will be routed during that time. Dowell suggested that the department notify those living on the small, residential streets in advance of the closures. Canterbury Faire and Balloon Classic Slide Show Thorell presented the Canterbury Faire and Balloon Classic slide show to the Committee and explained that the show will be used to find sponsors, recruit volunteers and to promote the events. Dowell suggested investigating the possibility of media coverage of the slide show. -3- In response to Dowell 's question, Jack Ball reported that the crushed rock was delivered to the Old Fishing Hole, and that the park is in good condition. Wickstrom reported that the picnic shelters for Russell Road Park, Briscoe Park and Van Doren' s Landing have been received and are being installed. The date for the Parks Department budget presentation was set for June 21. The meeting will be held at 3:30 p.m. in the Courtroom. The next regular meeting is scheduled for May 17, 1989 at 4 : 00 p.m. in the Courtroom.

EXTENSION OF ANIMAL CONTROL INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT Finance Director McCarthy requested extending the Animal Control Interlocal Service Agreement with King County for a period of one year on the same terms and conditions that currently exist. The Committee unanimously recommended this agreement extension to the Consent Council. CITY ADVERTISING IN A POLICE UNION PUBLICATION Acting City Administrator Harris presented to the Committee a Union Publication which, if the City was interested, a one-half page advertisement would cost $595 . The proceeds would go towards Drug Control Projects but net of operating expenses for the publication. The Committee felt directly donating to worthwhile organizations would be more beneficial by utilizing 100% of a City donation. USE OF CREDIT CARDS FOR CITY TRAVEL Finance Director McCarthy introduced to the Committee the use of City Credit Cards for official traveling expenditures instead of the current procedure of Advanced Travel requiring estimating travel expenditures ahead of time and carrying cash or traveler checks. The procedure of the new system involves the employee checking out the credit card from Central Services and bringing back the expenditure receipts. The approval of using credit cards would completely replace the advance travel system thus requiring a reimbursement after travel for smaller expenses. Though the staff is configsn through discussions with the City' s bank and with other Ci ' sing credit cards, that the process is much safer and more efficient than using cash we have not completed the procedure and control details. We felt, though, it would be beneficial to get authorization to establish procedures first. The use of city credit cards for employee travel was recommended for the consent calendar by a vote of 3-0. TARGET ISSUE STATUS REPORT Finance Director McCarthy informed the Committee of the first quarter status report on the 1989 Council target issue relating to the Finance department. The components of the target issues with reference to pages in the final budget document discussing these .issues is as follows: 10 . Enhance Financial Stability of Kent A. Multi-Year Financial Plan and Policy Paces * Develop Projections: Revenue, Manpower Final Budget 23 , 29 * Develop Policy Document Final Budget 37 * Explore Concept 2 Yr Budget * Decision B. CIP Annual Review * Analyze Councilmanic Bonding Capacity Final Budget 30 * Explore Yearly Update Process Final Budget 31 * Revise Process * Define Projects for Inclusion Final Budget 32 The Committee was also presented with a draft of the 1989 "Co u cil Budget/CIP Calendar" showing key Council dates. The Mayors.�i put requested an all day session for Council prioritization of budget alternatives based on departmental presentations. That day is currently scheduled for 7/29/89 to identify Council priorities prior to the preparation of the preliminary budget document. There was(alo of discussion concerning the target issues and the retreat associated with establishing them. The timing of the retreat in March instead of January was suggested to coincide more with the budget. Councilmember Mann suggested the possibility of the retreat with both Councilmembers and' Department heads. Councilmember Dowell felt we should include monetary amounts next to the target issues. Finance Director McCarthy informed the Committee that the CIP calendar calls for completion of the CIP prior to the preparation of the preliminary budget. To meet this date CIP Questionnaires must be distributed to the citizens with the Utility Bills on 3/29/89 . Councilmember Mann would like to address the problem of city streets having too many names in the questionnaire. He was told that the staff including the Fire Chief would review this and report at the Council Workshop on March 21, 1989 . OPERATIONS COMMITTEE MINUTES April 14, 1989 COUNCIL MEMBERS PRESENT: Christi Houser Paul Mann Steve Dowell STAFF PRESENT: Ed Chow Jim Hanson Alana McIalwain Mike Webby Sandra rl� Tony McCarthy May Miller Charles Lindsey John Marchoine Priscilla Shea Fred Satterstrom Lin Ball Rod Frederiksen Neil Sullivan GUESTS PRESENT: Mary Eckseldt, Human Services Commission Dee Moshel , Human Services Commission Jean Archer, Human Services Commission APPROVAL OF VOUCHERS All claims for the period ending April 14, 1989, in the amount of $1,179,373.68 were approved for payment. FUNDING BASE FOR HUMAN SERVICES Senior Planner, Lin Ball introduced members of the Human Services Commission and noted that the proposal for providing a percentage funding base for the Human Service Agencies had been discussed with the Planning Committee and approved on a two to one vote. It was coming to this Committee for discussion prior to being discussed as other business on the Council Agenda of April 18. The Committee had general consensus that Human Service activities should be funded, but the method of funding at 1 percent raised some questions from some of the Council members. Possible alternatives would be to determine a flat amount or put the remainder of the departments on a zero base budgeting concept. The item will come before the full Council for discussion at their April 18th meeting. Operations Committee Minutes April 14, 1989 w Page 2 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM SLIDE SHOW Budget Analyst, John Marchoine presented the Capital Improvement Program slide show that was shown to the community meetings on the east and west hills this week. He noted that we have only had seven',citiz4n members attend those meetings to-date, but there will be an additional meeting i'n the court room next Monday night for other interested parties. He noted, following his slide show presentation, that we have received over 300' responses to the questionnaire so far and plan to have about 700 prior to a Council .presentation on May 2. The Council presentation will review the results of the questionnaire and ask the Council for input on funding the CIP projects. John noted that the departments prepared a wish list of projects totaling 49 million dollars and at this point, only 8 million is anticipated as revenue over the next five years. Therefore, many projects will have to be deferred or alternative funding sources provided. He also noted in the discussion that the projects had not been reviewed by any administrative staff and there may be duplicate projects shown across department lines. The staff will review all projects and work on providing a balanced CIP following Council input at the May 2 meeting. RESULTS OF NEGOTIATION ON OTHER ACTUARIAL STUDIES Finance Director McCarthy noted that following the last Operations Committee meeting he had contacted the firm of Millimen and Robertson, who had proposed the actuarial study for the Firemens Pension and Relief Fund. Based on his discussion with them and their subsequent discussion with Risk Manager, Mike Webby, they had provided a proposal to do both the Workers Compensation and the Medical Trust Funds at a cost between $9,000 and $12,000. Finance Director McCarthy noted that these amounts are slightly higher than what is roposed for the Firemens study because the Firemens proposal is based on a can p ckage they provide for a number of firemens pension funds around the State. The City's Workers Compensation and Medical Trust Funds, though, are more unique to the City and therefore would require a slightly different approach in their actuarial analysis. The costs of both studies will be paid from the fund Operations Committee Minutes April 14, 1989 Page 3 balances of their respective trusts. The timing of the actuarial studies is in conjunction with the preparation of 1990 budget and any adjustment in City contributions to these funds could be developed for inclusion in the 1990 budget. GOLF COURSE STAFFING Golf Course Manager, Neil Sullivan, presented a .proposal to the Committee to hire two ten-month golf course positions and two full time golf course positions in lieu of $27,873 in temporary monies for part-time personnel . The net cost of this request in 1989 funds for 7-1/2 months is. $37,863. Mr. Sullivan noted that the basis of the request is that the initial intention of a golf course clubhouse was to use a starter's trailer but subsequently, the Council approved the establishment of a full fledged clubhouse as part of the golf course project. This clubhouse was funded primarily with the sale of a portion of golf course property to a developer who will be building a hotel facility. The request was not incorporated in the 1989 Budget because of concerns of over debt service _. coverage, but since the golf course now must operate as an Enterprise Fund, the feelings are that these positions are needed to generate revenue at the facility. Since the facility will be open 16 hours a day-seven days a week during the summer and 12 hours a day-seven days a week during the winter months, permanent staffing is needed to operate the facility properly. For each hour that the facility is not opened, approximately $480 of revenue is lost. Finance Director McCarthy told the Committee that he is concerned about the golf course's ability to pay it's debt service but noted that these positions appear to be needed to open the course and the golf course will be evaluated monthly from it's opening to determine the long term viability of the staffing levels. RECLASSIFICATION PACKET AMENDMENT Personnel Director Webby noted that at the last Operations Committee meeting a reclassification request was approved for the Drinking Driver Task Force. Since that time it's come to the Personnel Department attention that an additional part-time Program Assistant also works in the Drinking Driver Task Force and that Operations Committee Minutes April 14, 1989 Page 4 position should be compensated at the same level as the full time Program Assistant. The Council approved this on a 3 to 0 vote. ,A, ROOF AT THE CITY SHOPS Customer Services Manager, Charles Lindsey presented a proposal to the Committee to replace the roof and gutters of the Shops building for $15,462. He noted that he had obtained three proposals for reroofing the building and felt like the middle of the road proposal of a 20-year roof with a five-year guarantee was the best proposal for the City. This proposal would be funded through our Public Office Buildings Shops organization. The cost would be charged 80 percent to Utilities and 20 percent to General Fund for the portion occupied by Parks Maintenance. The Committee approved this request for inclusion on the May 2 consent calendar. 66F-01F PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE APRIL 25, 1989 PRESENT: JON JOHNSON MARTY NIZLEK STEVE DOWELL JOHN MARCHIONE BERNE BITEMAN MIMI CASTILLO DON WICKSTROM LYLE PRICE JIM HANSEN MIKE ANDERSON GARY GILL TOM ANDERSON ROD FREDERIKSEN Signing at 212th and Frager Road Mike Anderson commented that lack of specific instruction causes problems for the motorists. He referred to the situation of the signing at 212th and Frager and indicated the signing did not deal with a "through" situation. The "Right Turn Only" sign, he continued, only deals with a turning situation and there were no instructions for a vehicle wanting to proceed straight across. He suggested a sign be installed which deals with other than turning movements. Mr. Nizlek presented a video of the intersection. Dowell questioned the effect of changing the intersection to a right turn only at all times rather than during the posted hours. Nizlek responded there is a project in the transportation division's work plan to install islands at 212th and Frager forcing the right turn only. Dowell asked how vehicles would go southbound on Frager if crossing 212th were eliminated. Nizlek indicated traffic would have to proceed to 42nd and come back which would add approximately another mile. An alternative, which could be a costly one, would be to construct a turn around further west on 212th. Hazard Elimination Funds have been applied for for this revision. Johnson indicated the purpose of the time restrictions was to deal with the commuter traffic. Biteman asked when the signs were installed and if there were other tickets issued for infractions in this area. Nizlek indicated the signs were installed in 1986 . Frederiksen responded the area is worked quite often due to the high accident rate and there have been other citations for going through during the restricted hours. Johnson indicated he had inquired of the City Attorney's office what the court' s actions have been in similar type of cases. Their response was that the court has upheld the City in their citations in that the courts don't get into the question of interpreting the sign. Biteman indicated he was concerned about the clarity of there are a number of people going through during the restricted hours. Frederiksen commented he did not think it was that the signs were unclear but that many people were making the decision to make the illegal maneuver during the restricted hours. Biteman suggested a no-left turn sign be attached to the stop signs at 212th and II _,. PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE APRIL 25, 1989 PAGE 2 Frager and expressed concerns making it right turn only at all times. Responding to Dowell 's question, Nizlek indicated the installation of the islands has not been designed or funded as yet. It is estimated the cost would be $5, 000. Nizlek added that one problem that could develop if islands are installed restricting movements from Frager is that traffic will then begin to use Russell as an alternative. There was further discussion about the clarity of the meaning of the signs and the affect of the Frager Road residents if the hours of applicability were removed. Biteman requested a traffic count during the off-peak hours and the number of accidents occurring be brought back to the Committee. Johnson asked for the number of citations that has been issued as well. It was further determined the residents along Frager should be contacted to receive their input on eliminating the hours of applicability. This item will be brought back before the Committee at their next meeting. 100th Avenue S.E. Walkway Improvements - Approval of Funds Dowell moved to approve this item and to place it on the Consent Calendar for the next Council agenda. Master Meter Request - Bennett Business Park Wickstrom explained he was recommending a master meter be approved subject to the conditions contained in his memo. Wickstrom further explained the owner built five buildings and provided water service to them from an existing meter without making any water applications to the City. In order to obtain a certificate of occupancy for these buildings, this discrepancy, and others, must be corrected within sixty days. As such, he either must service each building with a separate meter or obtain Council approval of a master meter which he essentially already has. The conditions require he furnish the City with a certified calculation that the meter is the correct size and if not replace it with the appropriate sized meter and vault and pay any associated fees. The Committee unanimously approved the recommendation. Tarciet Issues Report from Public Works Wickstrom explained the report was presented to the Committee for their review and comments. Biteman inquired about the status of the mitigation agreement. Wickstrom indicated he thought the Task Force would be meeting in June to make a final decision on a generic agreement on which our legal staff and Ted Knapp have been PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE APRIL 25, 1989 PAGE 3 working. After discussion, the Committee unanimously accepted the report as presented. 272nd/277th Corridor For the Committee' s information, Wickstrom distributed a copy of a letter from King County Executive Tim Hill to Dan Kelleher in which he indicated it would take approximately 2-4 months for the County to execute a contract with their consultant for the study and EIS and would anticipate completion of the study to take approximately 24 months. The letter further indicates they are concerned about any activity taking place on the corridor until completion of their study. The Mayor will be requesting clarification of their letter as the time schedule projected in this target issue is affected by this. 192nd/196th Corridor Wickstrom informed the Committee he has a meeting next month with the County regarding lead agency status on this corridor project. Wickstrom suggested if we want to move ahead on this project perhaps we should be willing to assume the lead agency status. If we take the lead there would possibly be the need for additional funding this year. Wickstrom indicated he would have further details after the meeting on May 11. Closure of 1st Avenue Between Smith and Meeker Jim Hansen displayed a proposed schematic for the new library. He explained the project includes closure to through traffic at Smith of 1st Avenue between Smith and Meeker. Hansen continued that when Council accepted the library proposal they endorsed this closure but official approval is being requested at this time. Responding to Biteman' s question on access, Hansen further explained there were 123 parking spaces proposed and access in and out has been provided on both sides. One of the reasons for closing First is to create additional parking stalls along First to accommodate library and growing business needs. Biteman expressed concern about traffic then developing on North Second. Hansen added there have been meetings with the downtown businesses in addition to two KDA meetings. Only one business owner expressed any protest to the plan and his concerns have been addressed. Rod Frederiksen indicated the Fire Chief does have concerns about closing the street from a public safety standpoint. The Police Department would as well but not to the degree of Fire. Dowell asked about the traffic volumes on Second versus First. Hansen responded there PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE APRIL 25, 1989 PAGE 4 wasn't a significant difference. The count is less than 1, 000 cars a day. Dowell inquired further about the property to the west of the library. The City owns a portion and the remainder owned by private parties. Dowell said he worries about cutting traffic off from downtown Kent but if the businesses and KDA have no concern he could support the motion. The Committee unanimously approved the closure of First between Smith and Meeker.
