SOLID WASTE (OTHER BUSINESS - ITEM 4C)
King County Comprehensive Waste Plan. The 1989 King
County Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan was
developed establishing a comprehensive program for
the handling of solid waste meeting local needs and
consistent with the state solid waste management
priorities as mandated by SHB 1671. The plan
identifies the responsibilities of the Cities and of
the County in implementation of the waste reduction
and recycling elements thereof, including the
establishment of aggressive goals calling for 35
percent waste reduction and recycling by 1992 , 50
percent by 1995 and 65 percent by 2000. The Cities
are required to implement their program by mid-
1992 . The Public Works Director recommends that
Ordinance 2906 be adopted approving the King County
Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan reserving
certain authorities to the City.
Wickstrom noted this plan has been reviewed by the
Public Works Committee and they concurred with the
recommendation. WHITE MOVED that Ordinance 2906 be
adopted approving the King County Comprehensive
Solid Waste Management Plan and determining that
King County shall not exercise any power over the
level and type of service that Kent provides, and
that the EIS prepared by the County be accepted as
2
February 20, 1990
SOLID WASTE being in compliance with Kent's SEPA requirements.
Houser seconded. White noted that City Attorney
Driscoll has worked with the Solid Waste Interlocal
Forum and the Suburban Cities Association in
creating this plan. Wickstrom indicated for Houser
that over 80% of the single family residences in
Kent participate in the recycling program. White
noted however, that the City is behind in the multi-
family program and that this plan requires
institution of a program for multi-family housing.
The motion then carried.

through 1237 and ordinances 2901 through 2905 , which
are necessary to implement the Council ' s direction
of February 6, 1990 on the recommendations of the
Mayor and the Planning commission related to the
multi-family housing study. White noted that he
feels this is an incomplete package and is opposed
to it. JOHNSON MOVED for approval of Item K. Mann
seconded. The motion carried with White voting nay.
TRAFFIC CONTROL (OTHER BUSINESS - ITEM 4D)
South county Area Transportation Benefit District.
In October of 1989 a draft agreement for
establishment of a TBD was presented to the Public
Works Committee for its review. At that time, the
Committee authorized the Mayor' s signature and the
document was finalized. The South County Area
Transportation Benefit District Steering Committee
has recommended approval of a resolution which
authorizes the Mayor to sign the interlocal
agreement establishing the mechanism for formation
of a transportation benefit district.
The Public Works committee recommends that
Resolution 1239 be adopted authorizing the Mayor to
sign the interlocal agreement for participation in
the Valley Transportation Benefit District. WHITE
MOVED to adopt Resolution 1239 and to authorize the
Mayor to sign the interlocal agreement for
participation in the South King County Valley
Transportation Benefit District. Houser seconded
and the motion carried.
4
February 20, 1990
TRAFFIC CONTROL (ADDED ITEM)
Floyd Bacon, 24311 35th Ave. S . , Kent, noted that
trucks are being left on the roadway in residential
neighborhoods, creating a traffic hazard in poorly
lit areas, and requested the Council ' s assistance.
Planning Director Harris noted that a truck parking
ordinance is scheduled to go before the Planning
committee in March. He indicated that if the
ordinance is a zoning code ordinance, the Planning
Department is responsible for enforcing it. Woods
asked that Mr. Bacon be informed as to when the
ordinance will come to the Planning Committee and
the Council .
Police Chief Frederiksen noted for Mr. Bacon that if
junk cars are parked on public rights-of-way, there
is an ordinance which the Police Department can
enforce, but there is no current ordinance which
allows removal of junk cars parked on private
property. Harris stated that junk cars on private
property are a zoning code problem and are difficult
to handle. Upon White ' s question, the Attorney
noted that although our ordinances provide some
ability in that area, the Planning Department and
Code Enforcement do not have the time and resources
to enforce the ordinances .
POLICE (OTHER BUSINESS - ITEM 4B)
Private Security Agencies. At its meeting on
February 6 , 1990 , the Council approved the agreement
with the County for the provision of private
security agencies for a period of two years. The
county has since contacted the City and stated that
there was a typographical error and it intended to
offer a contract for only one year. Therefore,
approval is requested of a contract with the County
for the provision of private security agencies for
January 1, 1990 through December 31, 1990 . MANN
MOVED for authorization for the Mayor to sign the
agreement with King County for the provision of
private security agency services for a period of
January 1, 1990 to December 31, 1990 . Orr seconded
and the motion carried.
(OTHER BUSINESS - ITEM 4F)
Sale of Properties. The City owns several pieces of
real estate as a result of the Police Department ' s
5
February 20, 1990
POLICE activities to retain the real property proceeds from
drug-related transactions as authorized by state
law. Three pieces of real estate are ready for
sale. It is recommended that the City proceed with-
the sale of these properties at the minimum price
set forth in the attached memorandum. The Police
Department and Law Department would facilitate
advertising the property for sale, showing the
property on a set date, and selling the properties .
The final sale is subject to the approval of the
City Council .
Chief Frederiksen noted the sale of this property
will allow repayment of all investigative expenses
and will pay off the indebtedness on the property to
allow sale. He also reported that the Police
Department had seized drugs valued at $5 million, as
well as $89 , 000 in cash and 57 ounces of precious
metals. Upon White ' s question, Chief Frederiksen
noted that a realtor was not used in this instance
in order to move forward as rapidly as possible.
The City Attorney stated that the law does not
require the use of real estate agents for the sale
or purchase of property.
MANN MOVED to approve the sale of three pieces of
real property for the minimum price recommended, and
by the process set forth in the City Attorney ' s
memorandum of February 13 , 1990. Houser seconded.
Motion carried.
(OTHER BUSINESS - ITEM 4G)
ADDED BY CITY ADMINISTRATOR CHOW
Jail Siting. Mayor Pro Tem/Council President Woods
noted that the City had been informed late last week
that the County is considering two pieces of
property in Kent as sites for an interim jail
facility. She noted that the City Attorney has
drafted a letter to the Citizen' s Site Advisory
Committee, copies of which have been distributed to
the Council . City Attorney Driscoll pointed out
that the City was asked to respond by February 26
with their comments. She noted that the proposed
letter indicates the City of Kent already has an
existing facility which houses Federal , City and
occasionally King County prisoners as a holding
6
February 20, 1990
POLICE facility. She noted that the plan calls for an
interim facility, which may be as long as 20 years .
Driscoll suggested in the letter that the County
review the program and policy itself before finding
particular sites. She questioned whether
appropriate citizen input was provided in
establishing the criteria for siting and said it
appears that their own criteria was not followed in
listing the two Kent sites . She indicated there is
no evidence of a study of population growth as to
future needs and no evidence that the needs of the
entire criminal justice systems were looked into.
She also suggested in the letter that the County
comply with the State Environmental Policy Act
requirements.
Upon Orr' s question, City Administrator Chow noted
that some members of the King County Council were
concerned that only public-owned land were
considered. They therefore found 31 private sites ,
and pared that down to three, two of which are in
Kent. He agreed with the City Attorney that the
process is flawed and was done in haste. MANN MOVED
that the Council endorse the letter to be signed by
the Mayor and Council President and sent to the
Citizen' s Site Advisory Committee. Mann then
pointed out that Kent had been selected as the site
for the dump, the incinerator and now two sites for
a jail , and said he is strongly opposed to having
the jail here. White noted that this is to be an
interim jail facility, but that the Midway Landfill
and Kent Highlands were also to be temporary. He
urged the County to build regional justice centers
rather than interim facilities. The motion then
carried.
COUNCIL (OTHER BUSINESS - ITEM 4E)
(ADDED TO AGENDA)
Form of Government. Councilmember White stated that
discussions have been held and items written in the
media regarding the form of government in Kent. He
reported that citizens have contacted him about this
matter and MOVED that a public hearing be conducted
at the Council meeting of March 20, 1990 to look at
all forms of government and receive public input.
Johnson seconded. White noted that a year ago
7
February 20, 1990
COUNCIL Johnson had raised this subject but that no action
was taken. He said he feels that due to the City ' s
growth and the problems it is facing, it is time to
address the subject. Houser stated that the people
have the power of initiative and referendum, and
that there is no need for a public hearing. She
stated that the citizens should decide whether this
issue needs to be looked at. White said he is not
suggesting that the form of government be changed,
only that it be examined at a public hearing. Orr
agreed with Houser and said that if people are not
satisfied with the form of government we have, they
should request a public hearing or present a
petition. She felt it is not the Council ' s
responsibility to bring the issue up. White
responded that councilmembers bring many issues to
Council committees that are not a result of a
petition or public input. He stated that if the
public presents a petition, it will probably be to
change the form of government rather than to study
the various forms . Houser reported that she and
other councilmembers have not received any calls on
this matter and asked that people let the Council
know if there is need for a change. Upon Orr' s
question, White reported that someone from Municipal
Research could attend the public hearing and give an
unbiased look at all forms of government. Ann
Biteman, 24324 Military Road, Kent, questioned the
cost of bringing someone in to explain the various
types of government, and the City Attorney responded
that that service would be free. The motion to hold
a public hearing on March 20, 1990, to address the
form of government in Kent was defeated with Houser,
Orr and Mann voting against it.

FINANCE (OTHER BUSINESS - ITEM 4E)
Nosler Utility Account Adjustment. The Operations
Committee, at its February 1, 1990 meeting,
recommended an adjustment of $108 . 00 to the Nosler

July through September of 1989 . Correspondence and
discussions occurred between the Finance Department
and the utility customer with the item brought to
the Council Committee ' s attention following
inability to resolve the matter. HOUSER MOVED to
grant the Nosler request for a utility account
adjustment. Johnson seconded. Mann stated that he
feels this sets a precedence which the City may
later regret. The motion carried with Mann voting
nay.

PARK DEVELOPMENT
This Grant Agreement is entered into between King County
("County") and the City of Kent Department of Parks and Recreation
("City") which parties hereby agree to the following:

The Open Space of Fee-in-Lieu Ordinance (KCC Ch. 19 . 38)
requires that the property be dedicated for recreational facilities

its grantees and assigns, covenant that the property described
above shall be maintained by the City in a manner that allows and
provides the opportunity for the community to use the property.
The covenant shall run for fifteen (15) years from the
date of this Agreement, and shall run with the land.
E. Recapture
Should the City determine that this covenant is
inconsistent with the City' s use of the property, the City shall
have the right to recapture such property and the covenant shall
be null and void. The City shall reimburse the County for a fair
Covenant and Grant Agreement
Page 1 of 3
and equitable depreciated value of the equipment for the remaining
life of such equipment to the County, calculated on a straight
depreciation basis.
F. Procedure for Development and Funding
1. Before beginning the Development described above,
the City shall submit the plans and specifications to the County
for approval of the equipment.
2 . After the county' s approval , the City shall develop
the property in accordance with the approved plans and
specifications.
3 . Upon timely completion of the Development, King
County shall pay to the City the cost of the Development to a
maximum of Thirty Thousand Dollars ($30 , 000 . 00) minus the cost to
the County for administering the project. No funds shall be

RE: Star Lake Elementary Fee-in-Lieu Funds
Dear Mr. Wilson:
King County Ordinance 5596 established a land dedication or reservation
requirement for developers of subdivisions of ten acres or greater to provide
for neighborhood parks, open space and recreational facilities. The ordinance
provides for payment of a fee in lieu of such dedication.
The ordinance directs the Natural Resources and Parks Division to establish
park service areas "roughly equivalent to elementary school boundaries" , and
administrative guidelines for the expenditure of the funds. In this instance,
our division has determined that Glenn Nelson Park is within the park service
area where the fee-in-lieu funds were generated and the administrative
guidelines allow for the inter-local transfer of fee-in-lieu funds to other
public agencies.
I would like your consideration of the transfer of approximately $30,000 to
Kent Parks and Recreation for recreational facilities at Glenn Nelson Park.
Please let me know if this meets your approval and, if so, I will send a draft
of the Covenant and Grant Agreement for Park Development.
If you have any questions, please give me a call at 296-4134.
Sincerely,

c-•bject: GREEN FEES - FISCAL NOTE
aator: Tony MCCARTHY / KENT70/FN Dated: 02/20/90 at 0947 .
THE PARK DEPARTMENT HAS PRESENTED A PROPOSAL TO RAISE THE WEEKEND AND HOLIDAY
GREEN FEES AT RIVERBEND AND THE PAR 3 IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ESTABLISHMENT OF
REDUCED RATES FOR SENIORS ON NON PEAK DAYS . THESE CHANGES ARE ESTIMATED TO
GENERATE AN ADDITIONAL $66, 000 IN GOLF COURSE REVENUE.
THE IBC IS AWARE THAT THERE HAS BEEN PUBLIC INTEREST IN REDUCING RATES FOR THE
SENIOR CITIZEN. RATE REDUCTIONS WERE INITIALLY OPPOSED BASED ON ADVICE OF THE
CITY 'S FINANCIAL ADVISORS WHO BECAUSE THE CITY ISSUED REVENUE BONDS WANTED TO
INSURE FINANCIAL STABILITY AS IDENTIFIED IN THE ORIGINAL FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS .
MUCH HAS CHANGED SINCE THE ORIGINAL FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS WERE COMPLETED IN JULY
OF 1988 . THOSE PROJECTIONS BY OUTSIDE CPA FIRM DIDN'T ANTICIPATE A CLUBHOUSE
OR THE EXTREME POPULARITY OF THE COURSE WHICH HAS REQUIRED ADDITIONAL EXPENSES .
THE COMPLEX HAS GENERATED SUBSTANTIALLY MORE THAN PROJECTED BY THE CPA
FIRM, AN ADDITIONAL $273 , 000 IN 1989 ; BUT IT HAS COST MUCH MORE TO OPERATE,
AN ADDITIONAL $326, 000 IN 1989 . IN ADDITION THE GOLF OPERATING FUND MUST
REIMBURSE THE GOLF CONSTRUCTION FUND FOR OVERRUNS , PRIMARILY EXCESS LAND COSTS ;
AND ESTABLISH A RESERVE TO PROVIDE FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS IN THE,FUTURE.
BASED ON A COMPARISON OF WEEKDAY, WEEKEND AND SENIOR RATES AT COMPARABLE
QUALITY MUNICIPAL COURSES AS IDENTIFIED BY THE PARK DEPARTMENT, THE IBC
RECOMMENDS A SENIOR CITIZEN RATE REDUCTION IN CONJUNCTION WITH A WEEKEND AND
HOLIDAY RATE INCREASE AT BOTH THE 18 AND 9 HOLE COURSES. THIS WILL INCREASE THE
ZELYHOOD THAT THE GOLF COURSE WILL BE ABLE TO MEET ITS FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS
AND ESTABLISH A RESERVE FOR IMPROVEMENTS.

RIVERBEND GOLF COMPLEX
PROPOSAL:
To adjust the green fees at the Par-3 and 18-hole courses to allow for senior
rates (62 and older) and facility improvements, while continuing to meet our
financial obligation.
OBJECTIVES AND FACTS:
1 . The City desires to meet all financial obligations placed on the facility.
2. The City realizes that senior rates are a good public relations tool .
3. The City realizes that senior rates are given by a majority of public and
private courses.
4. The City must realize that once senior rates are given, it is next to
impossible to reverse.
5. An upward adjustment in other rates is necessary to cover the revenue lost
by senior rates.
6. Our participation records indicate that Mondays and Tuesdays are best
suited for senior rates.
7. Our participation records indicate that weekends and holidays are best
suited for rate increases.
8. In checking with other like facilities, weekends and holidays are
considered prime times, and higher fees are justified.
9. Golfers are willing to pay substantial fees, if there is proper scheduling
(tee times) and proper maintenance of greens, tee areas, and bunkers.
10. Golfers realize that non-golfers do not wish to subsidize their interests.
OPTION I: * Raise weekend and holiday rates from $15 to $18 for 18 holes
and from $10 to $12 for 9 holes at the 18-hole course.
* Lower Monday and Tuesday rates for seniors (62 and over) from
$15 to $12 for 18 holes and from $10 to $8 for 9 holes at the
18-hole course.
ADVANTAGES:
1 . Will accommodate the senior rate without an adverse impact on our financial
obligations .
2. Will give us optimum revenue from the facility.
3. Could increase play on Mondays and Tuesdays .
4. Create goodwill and improve ,relations with our senior golfing population.
5. Will encourage the senior population to play at Riverbend Complex.
DISADVANTAGES:
1 . Some people will complain regarding an increase in rates .
2. Most working people (especially in winter months) can only play on weekends
and holidays unless they use vacation.
OPTION II: * Raise weekend and holiday rates at the Par-3 from $4 to
$5 for 9 holes and from $3 to $4 for a second nine holes.
ADVANTAGES:
1 . Would give the City additional revenue to maintain the course and add
needed automatic sprinklers and other improvements.
DISADVANTAGES:
1 . Some people will complain about the rate increase.
2. Most working people can only play on weekends and holidays.
OPTION III: * Do nothing.
ADVANTAGES:
1 . No one is upset by change.
DISADVANTAGES:
1 . We are not responding to the desires of a portion of our population.
2. We are not realizing optimum revenue from the facility.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
OPTION I - A gain of $60,000; loss of $10,000;
net gain of $50,000.
OPTION II - A gain of $16,000.
OPTION III - No change.
Options 1 and 2 equal an approximate net gain of $66,000 on green fees and are
recommended by the staff.
DISCUSSION:
The cost of maintaining a first class facility, public or private, continues to
increase. The golfing public expects and deserves good facilities, and the
majority are willing to pay.
Playing golf is an elective, discretionary activity, and we do not expect all
golfers to play at Riverbend. However, our facility, by being centrally located,
well maintained, with a friendly staff, supports recommended options 1 and 2.
We have the largest men's club in the state (over 800 members) , and they have
indicated that they can't fully endorse this proposal , but they understand our
position and will not challenge it.
A major portion of complex revenue is from green fees. Revenue must be
sufficient to provide excellent staff and equipment for all phases of the
operation.
A majority of Riverbend participants (80%) live outside the City limits of Kent
and should not expect the City and City taxpayer to finance their golfing
enjoyment.
We realize our proposed rates are higher than some municipal golf facilities.
Our course is new and we have a financial obligation to meet. Other municipal
rates are being raised gradually, but it would be political suicide for them to
make a drastic adjustment upward.
To keep with the demand for golf facilities, it will take a combination of
private and public effort. Private enterprise will not construct golf facilities
unless they pencil out financially. Cities should follow suit. The golfing
public understands the costs of land purchase, development and maintenance cost
in today' s marketplace.
With over 100 tournaments scheduled last year, I feel it would be beneficial to
encourage tournament organizers to schedule weekday play. Higher weekend rates
could help this cause.
"In many municipalities, golf has never paid for itself. Fees were set
unrealistically low and it became political suicide to raise them. As costs
continued to rise, maintenance suffered, play dropped off and the deficit
increased. " Golf Digest, 1986

February 5, 1990
TO: Tony McCarthy J
FROM: Barney Wilson
PREPARED BY: Helen Wickstrom
SUBJECT: RUSSELL ROAD PICNIC SHELTER
I have reviewed the January 8 , 1990 letter to Mr. Chow from the
Kiwanis Club of Kent, requesting that the City install the picnic
shelter which the Kiwanis Club purchased for Russell Road Park.
Although I have some disagreement with their version of our verbal
agreement, I do feel that in order to have the shelter completed
prior to the 1990 baseball season, that the City should contract
for the installation.
The following budget will be needed to complete the project:
$ 9 , 500 Contract with Golf Landscaping for shelter
installation
$ 1, 000 Water and electricity to be installed by Park
Maintenance
$ 2 , 700 Six Picnic Tables
$ 13 , 200 Total
It is our understanding that the Kiwanis Club had originally
planned to do the shelter installation as a club project, but when
their member with construction expertise backed out of helping with
the project, they did not feel capable of completing it.
Golf Landscaping, who installed our other shelters, has been kind
enough to store the Kiwanis shelter for the last eight months.
They are anxious to have their warehouse space back. We recommend
contracting with Golf Landscaping to install the Russell Road Park
shelter. The dollar amount of the contract does not require us to
go out to formal bid.
We do appreciate the Kiwanis Club 's generous donation of $7,335.21
to purchase the shelter kit, and feel that the City's contribution
of $13 , 200 to enable the project to be completed in a timely manner
will greatly benefit the Russell Road Park users.

PRESENT: JIM WHITE SANDRA DRISCOLL
LEONA ORR BILL WILLIAMSON
DON WICKSTROM CHARLIE LINDSEY
JIM HANSEN LYLE PRICE
Environmental Review and Community Impact Assessment Fee Ordinance
Wickstrom explained this is an amendment of our existing ordinance
such that if cleanup operations of a solid waste or hazardous waste
site do not require any other permits from the City of Kent then
the provisions of Ordinance 2718 and 2745, requiring an annual
permit, would not apply. This is intended to clarify that Kent is
not creating any new permitting requirements or cleanup standards.
White asked who polices the activities on these sites if our permit
process is not impacted. Williamson responded DOE and EPA have .
ongoing site responsibility for Western Processing. EPA has
designated a project manager to be onsite. Wickstrom added that
the start up of any activity or initiation of any cleanup would
require a permit of some type from Kent. Then as the activity
becomes one of pumping and cleaning there would be no permit
process from Kent and activities would be supervised by DOE and
EPA. The Committee unanimously recommended adoption of the
ordinance.
Revision of Surface Water and Drainage Code Bond Requirements
Wickstrom explained we are requesting to amend the existing
drainage code and restructuring the bond requirements thereof which
were developed more than ten years ago. Williamson added that the
code does not reflect the financing mechanisms presently available
to the contractors. White asked if the insurance limits were
sufficient. Williamson responded those were low and perhaps should
be changed as well . We are seeking the Committee's direction in
upgrading this portion of the ordinance. The Committee unanimously
directed the Attorney ' s office to proceed with revision of the
Surface Water and Drainage Code and bring it back before them.
Out Of State Trip - Genamap User' s Conference
Wickstrom stated this trip is for Kurt Palowez who manages the
Public Works GIS system to attend a users conference in Fort
Collins, Colorado. There are adequate funds in the budget but the
trip was not identified specifically during the budget process.
The Committee unanimously recommended approval for the out of state
trip.

of processing permit applications, reviewing cleanup plans and
analyzing community/environmental impacts relating to solid waste !

review, facilitating federal, state, and local coordination of
cleanups and facility siting; and
j WHEREAS, Ordinance Nos. 2718 and 2745 provide for an

PAGE 2 OF 4
Union Pacific Railroad Franchise for West Valley Highway
Wickstrom explained that at the time of the road improvements a
disagreement regarding who should pay for the existing crossing of
West Valley Highway north of 228th ensued between Union Pacific and
the City. Our interpretation of the original franchise granted in
1968 placed the responsibility of upgrading of crossing including
railroad protection devices on Union Pacific. Union Pacific
interpreted the franchise as that responsibility being the City' s.
The 1978 renewal of the franchise granted it in perpetuity for
which the City had no authority based on an Attorney General ' s
ruling. Thus, the City Attorney' s office developed a new franchise
which is much more specific as to the Railroad' s responsibilities.
Union Pacific has concurred that the 1978 franchise is invalid.
It was clarified this franchise affects only this crossing. White
asked about any leverage we could use to get the crossings
upgraded. Williamson stated he has spent some time on a franchise
ordinance for this purpose. White indicated he would be
comfortable if we were working on that. Wickstrom stated the City
does have some advantage in that the City was here prior to Union
Pacific thus our rights would supercede. Sandra Driscoll referred
to a technical correction that should be made in Section 13 of the
ordinance. It states the ordinance does not take effect until it
is passed at a regular Council meeting subsequent to its
introduction at a previous regular Council meeting. That wording
should not be included in the ordinance. It was determined that
the ordinance would be corrected prior to adoption at the Council
meeting. The Committee recommended approval of the ordinance.
King County Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan
Wickstrom reviewed the contents of his memo for the Committee. He
explained there is no choice as to whether we adopt the plan but
that some of the elements of the plan are expensive to implement.
Independent of the plan, to implement some of these elements would
require Kent to assume the garbage billing function in order to
finance same. Garbage rates will probably have to be raised to
finance the recycling program. The current recycling program, the
monitoring of the landfills, and the legal expenses associated with
the garbage issues are funded from 3% of the utility tax on the
garbage services. This 3% will not fund any expansion of the
program. Sandra stated the ordinance as drafted reserves the power
to the City to establish different levels and types of service than
set out in the plan. The ordinance identifies which recyclables
the City will address and states the City will set its own

KENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT
STAFF REPORT
FOR HEARING EXAMINER MEETING OF JANUARY 3 , 1990
FILE NO: WINTERBROOK II #SU-89-6
APPLICANT: Townsend-Chastain & Associates
REQUEST: A request for preliminary subdivision approval
of 12 single-family residential lots.
STAFF
REPRESENTATIVE: Carol Proud
STAFF
RECOMMENDATION: APPROVAL WITH CONDITIONS
I . GENERAL INFORMATION
A. Description of the Proposal
The proposal is for the subdivision of a 3 . 1 acre parcel
into 12 single-family lots . The average lot size is 8 , 150
square feet with the largest lot being 11, 619 square feet
and the smallest lot being 7 , 264 square feet in size. The
resulting subdivision will provide for 12 detached single-
family homes at a density of approximately 3 . 8 units per
acre.
B. Location
The subject property is located north of S 272th Street,
approximately 500 feet east of 41st Place S and directly
south of Cardiff Street.
C. Size of Property
The property is 3 . 1 acres in size.
D. Zoning
The proposed subdivision site is within an R1-7 . 2 , Single-
family Residential, zoning district (minimum lot size of
7 , 200 square feet) . The properties directly north, east and
the adjacent parcel to the south are also zoned R1-7 . 2 .
The property to the south, south of S. 272nd Street, is in
King County.
1
Staff Report
Winterbrook II
#SU-89-6
All lots meet or exceed the minimum lot size and width as
specified in the development standards for the R1-7 . 2
zoning district.
Solar access setback regulations will apply to all lots .
The purpose of the solar access setback provisions is to
provide a reasonable amount of solar access to lots in the
City so that the economic value of solar radiation falling
on those properties will be preserved and the option to use
solar energy will be encouraged. Any structures built cn
the lots in a residential zone must maintain solar access
to the adjacent lots to the north. It appears that
adequate north/south dimensions are available on the lots
to meet solar regulations.
The Tree Preservation Ordinance requires that all trees
located on the property having a caliper of six-inches or
greater must be identified on a tree plan. The ordinance
specifies that every effort shall be made to retain all
such trees where practical.
E. Subdivision Code
The purpose of the City of Kent Subdivision Code is to
provide rules, regulations, requirements, and standards
for subdividing land in the City of Kent, ensuring that
the highest feasible quality in subdivision will be
attained; that the public health, safety, general welfare,
and aesthetics of the City of Kent shall be promoted and
protected; that orderly growth, development, and the
conservation, protection and proper use of land shall be
ensured; that proper provisions for all public facilities
(including circulation, utilities, and services) shall be
taken into consideration; that conformance with provisions
set forth in the City of Kent Zoning Code and Kent
Comprehensive Plan shall be ensured.
Planning Department Comment:
The proposed plat is in general conformance with the
regulations of the Subdivision Code. Streets conform to
the circulation pattern established in the area and all
proposed sewers, water mains, and other utilities will
comply with applicable City requirements.

Staff Report
Winterbrook II
#SU-89-6
F. Comprehensive Plan
The City of Kent first adopted a City-wide Comprehensive
Land Use Plan in 1969 . The goals, objectives and policies
of the Comprehensive Plan represent an expression of
community intentions and aspirations concerning the future
of Kent and the area within the Sphere of Interest. The
Comprehensive Plan is used by the Mayor, City Council, City
Administrator, Planning Commission, Hearing Examiner and
City departments to guide growth, development and spending
decisions. Residents, land developers, business
representatives and others may refer to the plan as a
statement of the City' s intentions concerning future
development.
The City of Kent has also adopted a number of subarea plans
that address specific concerns of certain areas of the
City. Like the City-wide Plan, the subarea plans serve as
policy guides for future land use in the City of Kent.
This area is served by the West Hill subarea plan.
The following is a review of these plans as they relate to
the subject property.
CITY-WIDE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The City-wide Comprehensive Plan is made up of two
entities: the Comprehensive Plan Map and the written
goals, objectives and policies. The Comprehensive Plan
Map designates the site as SF, Single Family.
HOUSING ELEMENT
OVERALL GOAL: ASSURE A DECENT HOME AND SUITABLE LIVING
ENVIRONMENT FOR FAMILIES DESIRING TO LIVE IN KENT.
GOAL 2 : Guide new residential development into areas
where the needed services and facilities are available,
and in a manner which is compatible with existing
residential neighborhoods.
Objective 2 : Permit new residential development on
the East and West Hills as the
necessary facilities and services are
available.
3
Staff Report
Winterbrook II
#SU-89-6
Planning Department Comment:
This Comprehensive Plan goal and objective establishes the
City policy of encouraging development of new single-
family housing. A major distinction in types of housing
units is that between multifamily and single-family units .
In recent years, multifamily development has far outpaced
single-family construction.
If approved, this proposal will make available 12 single-
family residential lots. This will encourage the
production of single-family dwellings and help to restore
a balance in the mix of single-family and multifamily
housing types .
Objective 3 : Guide new residential growth so that
it occurs in a responsible manner,
consistent with neighborhood
objectives .
Planning Department Comment:
This objective supports the policy which encourages in-
fill development of areas already served by utilities and
transportation systems to achieve maximum efficiency in
the provision of services and preservation of natural
features. The subject site is surrounded by existing
residential development which has already necessitated the
extension of water and sewer service and the construction
of other public improvements in the area. If approved,
the Winterbrook II subdivision would provide for in-fill
development in an already serviced portion of the City.
GOAL 4 : Assure environmental quality in residential areas.
Objective 1: Preserve and maintain as much of the
natural environment as possible.
Policy 2 : Require site design to conserve natural
features, such as streams, steep
slopes, trees, and wetlands.
Planning Department Comment:
The applicant has submitted a tree plan that shows the
location of existing trees on the site in relation to the
4
Staff Report
Winterbrook II
WSU-89-6
proposed lots. Several of the trees are located in
proposed public right of way and will necessarily have to
be removed. It does appear that the trees on proposed lots
4 through 10 could be retained for the benefit of future
development. In keeping with the provisions of the tree
preservation ordinance and the intent of this goal and
policy, prior to approval of a grade and fill permit, the
applicant must identify all trees to be retained on the
property.
WEST HILL PLAN
As with the City-wide Comprehensive Plan, the West Hill
has two components: the West Hill Plan Map, which
designates the site as SF 6, Single Family with 4 to 6
units per acre, and the goals, objectives and policies,
some of which are detailed below.
HOUSING ELEMENT
OVERALL GOAL: ASSURE PRESENT AND FUTURE HOUSING THAT IS
SAFE, OFFERS A DESIRABLE LIVING ENVIRONMENT, AND IS
SUPPORTED BY ADEQUATE COMMUNITY FACILITIES AND SERVICES.
GOAL 1 : Residential development that is related to the
availability of community facilities and services.
Objective 1: When making decisions concerning land
use, consider the adequacy of and
impact upon roads and other public
facilities and services including
utilities, policy and fire protection,
public transportation, schools and
parks.
Policy 1 : Ensure that public facilities and
services are available or will be
available to support development at
proposed densities.
Policy 2 : Locate new single-family detached
residential development in areas and
at densities which permit roads,
utilities, public transit, schools and
other public facilities and services
to be provided in an efficient and
cost-effective manner.
5
Staff Report
Winterbrook II
#SU-89-6
Planning Department Comment:
The proposed subdivision may eventually result in the
construction of 12 single-family dwellings. Assuming 2 . 9
persons per household, an additional 34 .8 persons would
require City services as a result of development of the
plat.
Community facilities and services will be available to
serve these persons. To ensure adequate fire flows to the
site, water quantities and pressures in approved locations
must meet Fire Department standards. Fire hydrants should
be placed at the required 600 foot spacing. Street signage
will be necessary to assist City personnel (including
police, fire and medical aid persons) to locate the
development.
The subject property has access to public transportation.
Some METRO service is available on Military Road west of
the site and on S 272nd Street within walking distance of
the proposed development. If approved, the Winterbrook II
plat may contribute to improved transit service as
residential densities in the area of bus routes increases .
II . SITE AND AREA HISTORY
The subject site was annexed to the City of Kent in 1960 as part
of a 332 acre annexation. The area directly to the south
(across S 272nd Street) is outside the City of Kent, as is the
property to the west, just beyond the Puget Power site. The
site is lot 2 of the Winterbrook Short Plat. This two-lot
subdivision was approved by the Subdivision Committee on
November 15, 1989 .
The land to the east of the property has seen a substantial
amount of subdivision activity over the past several years.
The site itself was approved for a 4-lot short plat in 1984 (the
Baccetti Short Plat) , although this short plat was never
finalized. The abutting property to the east was platted into
4 lots in 1986 through the Singh Short Plat. In addition, the
Cambridge South Short Plat (2 lots, 1979) , the Finer Homes Short
Plat (4 lots, 1978) , the Lombardo Short Plat (4 lots, 1986) , the
Grube Short Plat (4 lots, 1978) , the Hayashi Short Plat (4 lots,
1977) , the Hayashi Subdivision (3 lots, 1982) , and the Shannon
Short Plat (4 lots, 1989) have all been approved for the
immediate area.

Staff Report
Winterbrook II
#SU-89-6
III . LAND USE
Land use in the area is almost exclusively residential. The
site itself is currently undeveloped. The property is bordered
on the north and east by single-family residences. Additional
single-family residences are located to the south, across
S 272nd Street. The adjacent property to the west (owned by
Puget Power) is currently undeveloped and is identified as the
site of a future neighborhood substation.
IV. ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS
A. Environmental Assessment
A final Mitigated Declaration of Nonsignificance
(#ENV-89-96) was issued on October 25, 1989 subject to the
following conditions:
1. The owner/developer shall provide a storm detention
facility serving the entire site which incorporates
biofiltration and oil/water separation.
2 . The developer of the Winterbrook Subdivision shall do
a traffic study to identify all traffic impacts upon
the City of Kent road network and traffic signal
system. The study shall identify all intersections
in this area at service "E" or "F" , or which will be
at level of service "F" due to increased traffic
volumes from this development. These intersections
are at a threshold level for traffic mitigation.
The study shall then identify what improvements are
necessary to mitigate the development impacts thereon.
Upon agreement by the City with the findings of the
study and mitigation measures outlined in the study,
implementation and/or construction of said mitigation
measures shall be the conditional requirement of the
issuance of the respective development permits .
In lieu of conducting the above traffic study,
constructing and/or implementing the respective
mitigation measures hereby, the developer may agree
to the following conditions to mitigate the traffic
impacts due the Canterbury Subdivision development.
7
Staff Report
Winterbrook II
#SU-89-6
A. The developer shall execute an environmental
mitigation agreement, in the form of a no-
protest LID participatory agreement to pay its
share of the costs to construct the South
272nd/277th Street corridor project. The
financial obligation to the above development is
estimated at $12 , 816, based upon 12 p.m. peak
hour trips entering and leaving the site and the
capacity of the South 272nd/277th Street
corridor.
The execution of this agreement will serve to mitigate
traffic impacts to the above mentioned intersections
and road system by committing funding for the South
272nd/277th Street corridor, which will provide
additional capacity for traffic volumes within the
area of the above mentioned development.
B. Significant Natural Features
1. Topography and Vegetation.
Overall topography of the site is relatively flat,
with a slight decline from north to south. A portion
of the property is used as a horse pasture. A small
pond and related drainage swale are located south of
proposed lot 8 and will be identified on the plat as
tract A. Most native undergrowth has been removed
and replaced with grass. The property supports many
evergreen and deciduous trees, including several large
cedars.
C. Significant Social Features
1. Street System
The lots will have access to Cardiff Avenue S which
is classified as a local collector and has a public
right-of-way width of 60 feet. The actual width of
paving is 32 feet. The street is improved with curbs
and gutters.
Traffic mitigation conditions have already been
determined as part of the SEPA review process.
Cardiff Avenue S will be improved at that portion of
the street adjacent to the subject property.
Improvements will include street lighting, curbs,
8
Staff Report
Winterbrook II
$SU-89-6
gutters and sidewalks. The average daily traffic
count on the street is less than 1, 000 vehicle trips
per day.
2 . Water System
An existing six inch water main is available at the
north property line at Cardiff Avenue S to serve the
subject property. Water service from the city of Kent
will be provided to all lots. Main size shall be
sufficient to provide required fire and domestic
flows. Minimum main size shall be six inches.
3 . Sanitary Sewer System
Only a portion of the proposed lots can be serviced
by the city of Kent sewer with a gravity system. The
applicant must coordinate with the Lake Haven Sewer
District to provide the remaining service to the site.
On and off site easements will be provided as
necessary in order to make the required sewer
connections.
4 . Storm Water System
On and off site detailed plans of the storm drainage
improvements will be required as part of the plat
approval .
5 . LID' s
No LIDS are on record at this time.
V. MEETINGS CORRESPONDENCE AND LEGAL NOTICES
A tentative plat meeting with the applicant and members of the
subdivision committee was held on August 17, 1989 . All
appropriate comments and concerns have been included in this
report.

RE: Parking in The Lakes Subdivision ��
As the attached letter to the residents explains, we have
encountered a severe traffic restriction on a portion of Lakeside
Blvd. This is being caused by residents parking on the street.
The street was not designed for parking and actually has a bicycle
path along it.
Under authority granted the City Traffic Engineer under the RCW,
we have immediately notified the residents with the attached letter
and will have posted the inbound lanes to insure quick entry as
soon as possible . Because both directions will need to be
restricted, we have notified them of our intent to restrict parking
on the outbound lanes next week.
This matter will be further discussed at next week' s Public Works
Committee meeting and a formal change in the Parking Ordinance will
be submitted thereafter.
Since parking is a limited commodity in The Lakes, there are likely
to be complaints on this action. However, we hope you will
understand the critical nature and necessity of our ensuring
continuous clearance for emergency vehicles .

Dear Bridgewater Resident/Visitor:
On several recent occasions emergency vehicles have attempted to
respond to calls in Bridgewater. These aid cars had difficulty in
entering the complex due to vehicles parked on Lakeside Blvd. West.
At the time of approval of the Laker Subdivision, parking on
Lakeside Blvd. was not approved. Indeed, it is marked and signed
for a bicycle lane .
In order to insure the ability of emergency aid units, especially
fire vehicles, to access Bridgewater, the inbound (westbound) lanes
of Lakeside Blvd. West will be posted NO PARKING on Thursday March
1st. Approximately one week later the opposite direction will be
posted as well to provide full emergency access .
Your immediate cooperation is requested in this matter.
Enforcement of the NO PARKING restrictions will begin March 1st.
Thank you,

PRESENT: JIM WHITE SANDRA DRISCOLL
LEONA ORR BILL WILLIAMSON
DON WICKSTROM CHARLIE LINDSEY
JIM HANSEN LYLE PRICE
Environmental Review and Community Impact Assessment Fee Ordinance
Wickstrom explained this is an amendment of our existing ordinance
such that if cleanup operations of a solid waste or hazardous waste
site do not require any other permits from the City of Kent then
the provisions of Ordinance 2718 and 2745, requiring an annual
permit, would not apply. This is intended to clarify that Kent is
not creating any new permitting requirements or cleanup standards.
White asked who polices the activities on these sites if our permit
process is not impacted. Williamson responded DOE and EPA have
ongoing site responsibility for Western Processing. EPA has
designated a project manager to be onsite. Wickstrom added that
the start up of any activity or initiation of any cleanup would
require a permit of some type from Kent. Then as the activity
becomes one of pumping and cleaning there would be no permit
process from Kent and activities would be supervised by DOE and
EPA. The Committee unanimously recommended adoption of the
ordinance.
Revision of Surface Water and Drainage Code Bond Requirements
Wickstrom explained we are requesting to amend the existing
drainage code and restructuring the bond requirements thereof which
were developed more than ten years ago. Williamson added that the
code does not reflect the financing mechanisms presently available
to the contractors. White asked if the insurance limits were
sufficient. Williamson responded those were low and perhaps should
be changed as well . We are seeking the Committee ' s direction in
upgrading this portion of the ordinance. The Committee unanimously
directed the Attorney' s office to proceed with revision of the
Surface Water and Drainage Code and bring it back before them.
Out Of State Trip - Genamap User' s Conference
Wickstrom stated this trip is for Kurt Palowez who manages the
Public Works GIS system to attend a users conference in Fort
Collins, Colorado. There are adequate funds in the budget but the
trip was not identified specifically during the budget process.
The Committee unanimously recommended approval for the out of state
trip.

Union Pacific Railroad Franchise for West Valley Highway
Wickstrom explained that at the time of the road improvements a
disagreement regarding who should pay for the existing crossing of
West Valley Highway north of 228th ensued between Union Pacific and
the City. Our interpretation of the original franchise granted in
1968 placed the responsibility of upgrading of crossing including
railroad protection devices on Union Pacific. Union Pacific
interpreted the franchise as that responsibility being the City' s.
The 1978 renewal of the franchise granted it in perpetuity for
which the City had no authority based on an Attorney General ' s
ruling. Thus, the City Attorney' s office developed a new franchise
which is much more specific as to the Railroad' s responsibilities.
Union Pacific has concurred that the 1978 franchise is invalid.
It was clarified this franchise affects only this crossing. White
asked about any leverage we could use to get the crossings
upgraded. Williamson stated he has spent some time on a franchise
ordinance for this purpose. White indicated he would be
comfortable if we were working on that. Wickstrom stated the City
does have some advantage in that the City was here prior to Union
Pacific thus our rights would supercede. Sandra Driscoll referred
to a technical correction that should be made in Section 13 of the
ordinance. It states the ordinance does not take effect until it
is passed at a regular Council meeting subsequent to its
introduction at a previous regular Council meeting. That wording
should not be included in the ordinance. It was determined that
the ordinance would be corrected prior to adoption at the Council
meeting. The Committee recommended approval of the ordinance.
King County Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan
Wickstrom reviewed the contents of his memo for the Committee. He
explained there is no choice as to whether we adopt the plan but
that some of the elements of the plan are expensive to implement.
Independent of the plan, to implement some of these elements would
require Kent to assume the garbage billing function in order to
finance same. Garbage rates will probably have to be raised to
finance the recycling program. The current recycling program, the
monitoring of the landfills, and the legal expenses associated with
the garbage issues are funded from 3% of the utility tax on the
garbage services. This 3% will not fund any expansion of the
program. Sandra stated the ordinance as drafted reserves the power
to the City to establish different levels and types of service than
set out in the plan. The ordinance identifies which recyclables
the City will address and states the City will set its own
PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE MINUTES
FEBRUARY 20, 1990
PAGE 3 OF 4
collection rates. The language is broad enough to allow the city
flexibility if at a later time we determine the comp plan addresses
issues differently than how the City wishes to proceed. Wickstrom
continued the plan requires curbside recycling for residential
which we currently provide and requires expansion to multifamily.
The City would be required to establish variable rates which would
encourage recycling and to adopt a City purchasing policy for the
purchase of recycled materials such as paper. Responding to
White ' s question, the City currently recycles paper we generate but
we do not purchase recycled paper. The cost to purchase recycled
paper is greater than virgin paper though the theory is that once
a market is developed the costs should come down. Charlie Lindsey
added that associated with the use of recycled paper are higher
equipment maintenance costs. Wickstrom added that instituting a
variable rate would require us to take over the garbage bill
function which has a significant cost of approximately $85, 000 a
year mostly associated with the finance department to provide
additional staffing and computer services. White asked the pros
and cons of negotiating with the hauler to continue to do the
billing. Wickstrom responded we could; however, we would not have
a revenue source to pay for the recycling program. Wickstrom
stated he has tried to outline some of the costs associated with
the programs we will have to address. Orr asked about the market
for recyclables. Sandra responded that King County has established
a Marketing Commission as well as DOE. A lot may depend on
legislation to require private businesses to do a variety of
things. The Committee unanimously recommended approval to adopt
the King County Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan.
Centennial Clean Water Grants
Wickstrom explained the intent of this request is to enable the
finance department to receive the grant money into the project
budgets. The Committee unanimously recommended approval for the
Mayor to sign the grant agreements and to budget the funds received
therefrom. Williamson stated he thought it was quite commendable
on Don' s part to receive five grants out of five applications .
White stated he would hope this would come up at the next
department head meeting.
U.S . Post Office Collection Boxes
A draft of a letter prepared by the Transportation Engineer
addressing this issue was distributed for the Committee 's review.
Wickstrom explained the post office had placed mail boxes on West
Valley Highway in the Metro pullouts . Metro paid for approximately
PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE MINUTES
FEBRUARY 20, 1990
PAGE 4 OF 4
one-third of the pullout costs and are concerned they will be
unable to pull in if vehicles are depositing mail and blocking the
pullouts. The local postmaster has indicated they have the right
to place the collection boxes at locations they determine.
Wickstrom stated we feel the boxes should be on secondary streets
and not major arterials. The Committee concurred that staff should
work with the postmaster to address the issue.
TBD Ordinance
Wickstrom explained that on Council agenda for this date is the
approval of the agreement for participation in the TBD. The
agreement as presented will need to be revised to reflect that
Auburn will not be participating. White asked what happens to the
272nd/277th Corridor if funding comes through and Auburn does not
participate in the TBD. Wickstrom stated that the TBD can only
build improvements that are within the TBD boundary. Therefore,
the portion of the 272nd/277th corridor between the Green River and
Valley Freeway could not be constructed with TBD funds. White
commented it appears positive that a transportation package will
come out of the legislature this session. South King County stands
to benefit significantly. Costs for participating in the TBD are
ongoing costs until the TBD actually generates revenue. White
asked why Auburn chose not to participate. Wickstrom responded he
believed they feel there are adequate existing tools, i. e. ,
interlocal agreements, to do the same thing and they were concerned
about most of the improvements identified being in the northern end
of the valley and their project not receiving support. Auburn
feels that by joint cooperation we can rate just as high as a TBD
in funding requests for the gas tax revenue.

SALE OF DRUG FORFEITED PROPERTY
City Attorney Driscoll discussed, for information only, three drug
forfeited properties acquired by the city that are ready to be
sold. They have been appraised and assigned a recommended sale
price. Police Chief Frederiksen added that the city is selling
these properties themselves and are not hiring a realtor. The
procedure includes advertising, showing the property at specified
times, allowing people to submit written bids to City Clerk, and
then coming to Council for approval .
The city will retain 25% of net profits after related expenses are
deducted and the remaining 75% will go to the state. The item is
an information only item but will be discussed with the Council on
February 20th.
MODIFIED UTILITY ADJUSTMENT PROCESS
In response to the operations Committee request concerning the
Nosler water dispute Finance Director McCarthy introduced a city
policy containing a 5-step process that water customers must
following prior to bringing disputes to the operations Committee.
The customer will contact the Utility Customer Service unit and ask
for investigation to determine if there is a leak. If no leak is
found then the customer must research further possible problems
themselves . After this the Customer Service Manager will evaluate
the situation to determine if a adjustment is justified. If he is
unable to satisfy the customer then the Finance Director will be
contacted and if no remedy is found then the dispute will be
presented to the Operations Committee. McCarthy added that this
process will be further addressed at the next Council meeting as
Other Business.
PRELIMINARY 1989 FINANCIAL REPORT
Finance Director McCarthy presented, for information only, the 1989
preliminary financial report for December 31, 1989 . He noted the
city is showing a greater year end fund balance position in both
it ' s General and Capital Improvement Funds. This is primarily
attributable to December sales tax collections received on December
31st. Early in December we were projecting to over collect our
sales tax by 10 . 3 percent. Our actual over collection was 12 . 9
percent which represented an additional $172 , 000 to the General
Fund. The General Fund also underexpended an additional $125, 000
from its conservative forecast. These in combination with other
minor adjustments allowed the city to start the year with $350, 000
more than anticipated. In our Capital Improvement Funds,
additional real estate excise tax received in December along with
a portion of the sales tax boosted the fund balance to $535,923
above the estimate. $162 , 000 of this has been used to prepay the
city share of LID 300 as approved by the Council at their last
meeting.
He also noted as discussed in adopting the final budget in early
December there are some unknowns that are still unknown. All of
our unions aren't settled at this time nor do we know the impact
of the boeing strike. The strike impact on sales tax will be known
at the end of February. The complete impact of union settlements
is still a few months away. Additional updates will be given as
we begin the planning process for the 1991 budget.
HOUSING BOND ISSUE IMPROVEMENTS
Planning Manager Satterstrom explained, for information only, the
process required before the $6 . 7 million, senior citizen housing
bond issue could be sold. He noted the mayor has established an
advisory committee including some Council , staff and general
public. Finance Director McCarthy added that due to stricter
Federal Tax Regulations the bonds can 't be sold until an
implementation plan is in place to insure expenditure of funds
within certain dates. He stated he would like the city' s bond
council and financial advisor at the first advisory committee
meeting. He added that the bonds will not be issued until some of
the decisions are addressed including who will own, and manage the
properties and what the cash flow expenditures on the bond proceeds
will be.
DRIVING RANGE IMPROVEMENTS
Parks Director Wilson discussed three improvements that must be
made at the city driving range. 1. Replace the tar and shakes on
the roof costing $7 , 914 . 2 . Complete renovation of walls, ceiling,
doors, shelving and storage costing $8 , 000 . 3 . Replace 19 sets of
Kuroco mats and tees , and purchase 57 replacements costing $15, 815 .
Councilmember Houser noted concern as to why these items were not
included in the 1990 budget. Wilson responded that it is necessary
to make quick decisions to satisfy customers and he said the golf
course revenue over time will cover these improvements.
The committee recommended the above improvements by a vote of 3-0
to the consent calendar.
HAND HELD METER READING SYSTEM
Customer Service Lindsey explained that the city has ran into a
problem with acquiring hand held water meter reading equipment in
that the company is requesting they contract directly with the city
in lieu of through the utility billing software vendor.
The committee recommended this request to the consent calendar by
a vote of 3-0.

At the opening of the meeting, Wilson, upon advice from private
counsel (letter attached) , informed Committee members that he would
not be speaking on any of the issues on the agenda, as doing so
would be in violation of a January 19 memorandum written by City
Administrator, Ed Chow (attached) . Following much discussion, Chow
temporarily withdrew his memo so that the Parks Committee could
proceed with the meeting.
Special Populations Resource Center Kitchen Remodel
Helen Wickstrom reported that when the Department went out to bid
last year, all bids exceeded the project ' s block grant budget. The
Internal Budget Committee turned down the Department ' s request for
additional funds, but advised staff to submit the project in the
1990 budget. The Department did so, and the Remodel project was
approved in the amount of $28 ,878, plus the $32 , 140 in block grant
monies carried over from 1989 .
Wickstrom read excerpts from the September 20, 1989 Parks Committee
meeting at which it was discussed that all bids were over budget,
but the City did not reject the bids, to prevent having to pay an
additional $3 , 000-$4 , 000 to go out to bid again in 1990.
-2-
Dowell questioned whether there were any legal ramifications in
not going out to bid again. Wickstrom explained that she checked
with the Attorneys ' office, and learned that because the bid bond
was not dated, it is legal to accept last year's low bid from Mayer
Construction Co. , Inc. ($47, 508 + Alternate 2 : $5,700) . Wickstrom
reported that the contractor is willing to honor that same bid
again this year.
White moved to accept the bid from Mayer Construction and to submit
the bid for full Council approval; Houser seconded the motion. The
motion passed unanimously.
Senior Center Warranty/Repair Update
Lea Britting of the Senior Center gave an update on
warranty/repair items that have been of concern (see attached
list) . She reported that both the leaky roof and the social hall
doors that buckled have been repaired. Britting explained that the
kitchen floor, which bubbled after installation, was replaced, and
now there is white residue present on the floor. She informed
Committee members that the architect is considering removing the
floor again and replacing it with quarry tile.
Dowell questioned whether the floor is a warranty item. Britting
reported that it is the Department' s desire for the contractor to
accept responsibility. White urged staff to pursue the architect' s
responsibility.
Britting also reported that when five of the bathroom sinks were
originally installed, they were cracked. The contractor, Jones and
Roberts, removed one sink in November as a sample for replacement,
but no sinks have been replaced yet.
White stated that he would like to see this issue on the Parks
Committee agenda until the sinks are replaced.
Britting reported that the original coffee maker was a continuous
problem, so Boyd Coffee installed one of their Coffee Makers free
of charge.
Dowell questioned whether the Senior Center suffered any damage
from the flooding. Britting responded that the only damage, other
than silt build-up, was to the carpet on the bocce ball court,
which will cost approximately $1, 700 to replace.
-3-
1990 City Art Plan
Liz Carpenter explained that the Plan was developed and approved
by the Kent Arts Commission, and is updated annually. of the
projects mentioned in the Plan for the next five years, one is the
renovation of the Riverbend Mini Putt-Putt.
Dowell questioned the timing of the Mini Putt project and whether
it would be completed for the Spring. Carpenter answered that an
art advisory panel has been established, and that the project will
not be completed for the Spring, but will be completed some time
this year. Dowell commented that something needs to be done in the
meantime, for the Sring. White requested that Carpenter report
back to the Committee at a later date with a timeline for the
project.
White moved to accept the 1990 City Art Plan and to recommend the
Plan to the full Council for approval ; Houser seconded the motion.
The motion passed unanimously.
"Kent" Sign Lights
Jack Ball reported that the Parks Maintenance electrician inspected
the lights and found the problem to be a break in the wire from the
out-panel to the lights. Ball reported that the North light is
working now, and the head has been readjusted for maximum
illumination. Ball stated that the electrical contractor inspected
the South light and found the ballast to be missing, but gave staff
no estimated day of arrival for the new ballast.
North Park Tot Lot Rehabilitation
Wickstrom reported that the project, which consisted of the
installation of one piece of play equipment, has been completed by
Golf Landscaping, and has been accepted by the project architect.
Wickstrom requested the Committee' s acceptance of the project as
complete, so that retainage could be released to Golf Landscaping.
White moved to accept the project as complete and to submit the
project to the full Council for approval; Houser seconded the
motion. The motion passed unanimously.

Golf complex Operation
Wilson began by stating that some issues with the golf complex
operation have been resolved through meetings with the Internal
Budget Committee and the Internal Personnel Committee, but there
are some still holes in the operation of the complex.
Wilson explained that he desires to share staff with a
concessionaire. He is concerned that if a wall is put up to
separate the lessons area from the merchandise area, then the City
as well as the concessionaire would need a full staff. Wilson
added that if the City turned over merchandising to a
concessionaire, the City would lose $30, 000-$40 , 000 .
Howard Bogie, golf consultant, explained that if the City is
interested in making money, it should do the purchasing and selling
itself. Bogie stated that merchandise income at a public golf
facility depends upon staff, and that there is more of a team
effort if employees are City employees.
Bogie discussed various Seattle golf courses, and the pros and cons
of their operation (private enterprise v. city operated) .
Dowell pointed out that the reason he wanted the issue discussed
was due to his concern that no lessons are being given at the golf
complex. Sullivan reported that more than 100 persons have signed
up to receive golf lessons, and that the City has approved a
contract to use P.G.A. Pros on an interim basis to give lessons,
until someone is hired permanently.
Ron Hoetmer of the P.G.A. was introduced to explain the different
skill levels of P.G.A. professionals and which would be most
beneficial to the City of Kent' s operation. Hoetmer explained that
the highest skilled P.G.A. Pro is an Al , and this level would be
most qualified for the city' s open position to teach lessons.
Bogie encouraged the City not to let anyone teach golf lessons who
isn't involved in the P.G.A. program.
Doug Schwab, member of the Riverbend Men' s Club, stated that he
felt the Pro to be hired should have expertise in merchandise and
should be active in the community. Schwab also expressed his
concern that the hiring process be an open process and not a
hurried one.
Wilson stated that he feels that the operation will work with three
good P.G.A. Pros, two of which would be paid by contract and one
who would be a City employee, paid on an incentive basis.
