Kent Transmission Main. Charles Kiefer of the East

and some questions about the proposed Kent Springs
Transmission Line. He distributed copies to the
Council along with photographs. The text was filed for

2
April 3 , 1990
WATER 4 . An audit of the design and permit process;
5 . New conditions on the revised HPA from the
Department of Fisheries.
City Engineer Gary Gill stated that the City had been
developing this project for three years, had had
numerous meetings with concerned residents, that an HPA
permit was not required and Mr. Robel of the Fisheries
Department had met with City representatives in the
field, and in fact a meeting was scheduled with him for
Thursday. He pointed out that the City had hired
experts and had consulted with the Corps of Engineers
and that the City held the bond of the contractor until
the job was finished, thus assuring proper performance.
Kiefer stated that he would like the project reviewed
before the bids were awarded and that on March 26 he
had asked that the bids not be opened for these
reasons.
At the Mayor's suggestion it was agreed that the
information requested by Kiefer would be made available
to him, the matter would be reviewed and reported to
the Public Works Committee, with notice to Kiefer so
he can attend the committee meeting.
(BIDS - ITEM 5B)

1990 with eight bids received. The low bid was
Bids submitted by Volker Stevin Pacific Inc. in the amount
of $2 , 939 , 442 . 22 .
Gill noted that the project was within budget and that
time was critical. A woman from the audience stated
that those who lived in the path of the main wanted the
job done right. Gill noted that the Public Works
Department had had many meetings with property owners
over three years and had even gone to residences to
explain the project and to answer questions.
Ron Allen stated that the main would go through the
southern part of his 1 1/2 acre pond and that he would
not give permission for any water from this line to go
into his pond. Gill determined that there were no
service connections from this main, that it was a
supply line to reservoirs, etc. and that the City was
aware that chlorinated water could not be flushed into
3
April 3 , 1990
WATER a pond without having been treated. He pointed out
that this was a 60 year old, 10 inch line and
improvement was vital to the fire flow distribution
system.
WHITE MOVED that the bid submitted by Volker Stevin
Pacific, Inc. in the amount of $2, 939,442 .22 for Kent
Springs Transmission Main be accepted. Woods seconded.

unanimously.

Policies are a description of the strategies for the
allocation of CDBG funds. Both the Human Services and
the Planning Committee have recommended adoption.
The public hearing was opened by Mayor Kelleher. There

group of ladies from Southwood Square Apartments
referred to a letter they had sent to the Mayor
regarding continuing violence against them by a male
tenant of the complex. City Attorney Driscoll stated
that the matter had been investigated and no facts as
stated would warrant filing criminal charges. Chief
Frederiksen stated that the investigating officers did
not find probable cause at the time of the initial
complaint on January 1st and further pointed out that
arrests could no longer be made because of the use of
profanity. The Mayor suggested that the ladies remain

that this is HUD housing and improper action on the
part of a tenant could result in eviction.

to sign an ongoing contract with King County to
authorize the Fire Department to perform fire and life

PARKS (REMOVED FROM CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 3D)
City Arts Commission. Mayor Kelleher read a letter he
had written to Council President Woods regarding the
Murals visitors who will be coming this summer from our new
sister city, Kherson, in the Soviet Union. He
described his policy regarding possible expenditure of
public funds, including the test question as to whether
this was the sort of expense the City would normally
expect to incur. Decisions should be reached by the
appropriate councils, commissions and departments
during the regular course of open government processes.
The letter invited hearing the Council 's views on this
policy and expressed readiness to discuss alternate
proposals. The letter was distributed to the Council
and has been made a part of the record.
Authorization has been requested to replace funds
expended from the City Art Fund for the Kherson mural
by Kherson artist, Yegor Tolkunev. These funds were
originally slated for the restoration and relocation
of the Carnation mural and creation of a downtown mural
by Kent artist, Danny Pierce. The funds were
redirected at the request of Council President Judy
Woods, City Administration, and the Kent-Kherson Sister
City Committee due to the limited time available to
create a mural and the tight schedule for the creation
of Kent-Kherson Peace Park.
It was determined that $10, 000 had been budgeted for
the restoration and relocation of the Carnation mural
and creation of a downtown mural by Kent artist Danny
Pierce. The funds have since been earmarked for a
mural for the Kent-Kherson Peace Park, so as to have
this project finished in time for the Goodwill Games
and before the delegation from Kherson visits Kent.
7
April 3 , 1990
PARKS Parks Director Wilson clarified for White that it was
proposed that the old City Hall site would be used for
Murals Kherson Park and the old Carnation sign would be redone
on the Creamery Building. He noted that plans for the
Kherson Peace Park would perhaps include an outdoor
stage and that the overall cost would be approximately
$60, 000 .
Upon questions from the Mayor and from White, Patrice
Thorell, Superintendent of the Cultural Arts Division
and Liz Carpenter clarified that $10, 000 was a typical
figure for the design for the sign company to do the
actual painting. White asked if the City typically
redirected the use of funds without Council approval .
Mayor Kelleher asked where the money is being diverted
from and if these items are already budgeted within the
Arts Commission budget. Thorell noted that the Council
approved the City Art Plan this year, which included
a mural for downtown Kent. The original idea was that
the mural would be a restoration of the Carnation mural
for which $10 , 000 was budgeted. The Visual Arts
Committee recommended that a mural be placed in the
Kent-Kherson Park in cooperation with a cultural
exchange plan. The Arts Commission approved
approximately two months ago. She pointed out that the
City Arts Program funding comes from the City Is General
Fund, a part of the $2 . 00 per capita fund for art in
public places. The request is not to do the Kherson
mural instead of restoring the Carnation mural, but to
replace the money for the Carnation restoration. White
asked if this $10, 000 is over and above the $2 . 00 per
head and Carpenter replied it was. She noted further
that the Arts Commission budget has the funds to
utilize for the downtown Kent mural approved in the
1990 City Art Fund Plan.
Woods noted that she had attended the deliberations and
that the Kherson mural was perceived as an unexpected
opportunity and it was necessary to act quickly in
order to have the project completed before the Kherson
Mayor ' s visit in July. She noted that the agenda
material showed approval by the Operations Committee
and Parks Committee as well as the Arts Commission.
Upon Mayor Kelleher' s request, Thorell clarified that
it is true that the Arts Commission could use money
8
April 3, 1990
PARKS budgeted for a specific item for a different item
within their own budget, without seeking authorization
Murals from the Council to do so. He then stated that if the
Council wanted such budget revisions to come to Council
for approval, Administration would direct that all
departments do so. Dowell stated that this seemed to
be an addition of $10,000. White stated that Thorell
had stated that the Kherson mural was approved by the
Arts Commission two months ago and that the Council is
now asked to approve the money which was budgeted once
for the Carnation mural. He noted that it would have
been easier to just ask for $10,000 for the Kherson
mural instead of bypassing the direction of the
Council . Houser noted that the matter had been through
the Parks Committee and the operations Committee, and
that the committee level was the place to ask
questions. Dowell noted that this item was not
recommended by the IBC.
May Miller of the Finance Department said that the IBC
recommended going ahead with the project but had not
recommended the funding as requested. IBC recommends
that some Art Fund expenditures be deferred to 1991.
Thorell gave some clarification as to the cost of
various size murals, pointing out that much depends
upon the bid made by the sign company after he sees the
artist' s design.
Ms. Humphries of the Kherson Committee and Mayor
Kelleher clarified for Dowell that Kherson had hosted
six people from Kent and that Kent would only host
three from Kherson, since we are not able to use
government funds to the same extent as they are.
Upon White' s question, it was determined that over the
past 20 years, the City had spent from $50, 000 to
$75, 000 on the Karibara Park, and that more than
$50, 000 was planned for the Kherson Park in one year.
Kelleher noted that parks development money- will be
spent and if not on Kherson Park then on another park
and the question to be considered is: "Would we spend
the money anyway for something only slightly
different?" If we would, then he considers this a
reasonable expenditure. Dowell noted that some private
funds were also involved, and commended the Mayor on
his fund-raising efforts and personal contribution
9
April 3 , 1990
PARKS toward expenses of the Kherson delegation's visit to
Kent.
Murals
It was noted by the Mayor that if the Council wanted
to change the procedures and require Council approval
for every shift within a Department' s budget, it could
be done at any time. Dowell did not favor changing the
procedure, but stated that if there are to be
additional expenditures, these should continue to come
before the Council. White stated that he would support
this and was not proposing that the process be changed,
but that in his view the process had been skirted. He
said that if the Parks Department had asked for $10, 000
for Kherson Park, that could have been discussed
instead of now discussing funding the Carnation mural .
Orr stated that the paperwork showed that the proposal
had the approval of the Arts Commission, Administration
and the Parks and Operations Committees, and to have
been in the process for more than a month did not seem
unusual. Dowell stated he hoped that this would not
happen again: -where agreements and commitments were
made before the funds were in hand.
The Mayor reminded the Council that in January he had
asked to have plans developed for a Kherson Park with
a suitable budget and the plan was known to all. There
was no plan for the park to be a surprise. Woods noted
that she agreed with Wilson that the park would enhance
the downtown area as would the mural. She noted that
all was done in good faith and she had assured the Arts
Commission that she would do everything possible to see
if money was available to replace the money that had
been committed to the Carnation mural. She then MOVED
for the authorization to replace the funds expended
from the City Art Fund for the Kherson mural by Kherson
artist Yegor Tolkunev. Houser seconded and the motion
carried.
Mayor Kelleher stated that in next year's budget he
will propose an increase in the downtown mural program
as mentioned in his State of the City message. White
stated that he hoped that such murals would be kept
within the budget established and within the arts
projects budget. Kelleher reiterated that the Arts
10
April 3 , 1990
PARKS Commission will follow the same process as now, unless
the Council asked that they do otherwise. White did
Arts not propose a policy change to ask the Commission to
Commission do otherwise.
(OTHER BUSINESS - ITEM 4B)
Automated Tee Time System. The Parks Department
requests authorization to purchase the Lynxx Tee
Golf Course Management System for the Riverbend Golf Complex, at
a cost of $20, 000. The system, through a touch tone
phone, provides golf information and reserves tee
times. Golf course staff estimate that they spend
3 , 000 hours per year in tee time scheduling. Staff
feel that the system could provide a convenience to the
golfer, while freeing up staff time at the golf course.
Barney Wilson played a recording of how the voice mail
system would work, including a paid commercial ad. He
noted that the golf course was making money and was
already $10, 000 ahead. White asked if it was in the
budget and Wilson stated that he had written a memo in
July and that the revenue would pay for this item
before the year is over. He proposed as revenue
sources, the option of selling 50 "preferred tee time"
cards at $400 each, with buyers determined by lottery,
and selling "commercial" time on the telephone line.
DOWELL MOVED to authorize the Parks Department to
purchase the Lynxx Tee Management System, at a cost
of $20, 000 . Woods seconded. Houser stated that it
sounds good but is not budgeted and it seems that each
month we are asking for more money for the golf course.
She questioned whether the course was self-supporting.
The system has not been used in this state and she
suggested that this could be budgeted for 1991 . Orr
asked for clarification on the financial condition of
the golf course and May Miller of the Finance
Department said it looks like revenue is a little ahead
of schedule and the IBC recommended approval with an
advertising message included in the system. On
Dowell ' s question it was determined that this did not
go through the Operations committee as the
IBC concluded that it did not require a change in the
budget. It was clarified for White that this was
within the existing golf course budget. The motion
carried with Houser voting against.
11
April 3, 1990
PARKS Before the meeting ended, Houser referred back to this
item, noting that the agenda page indicates that there
Golf Course would be an unbudgeted fiscal impact. Chow called
upon May Miller, who stated that she understood that
this item would impact the budget and that the Finance
Director' s fiscal note states that there would be
additional revenue coming in also.
(OTHER BUSINESS - ITEM 4C)
City of Kent Cultural Planning/Cultural Center
Feasibility Study. AUTHORIZATION is requested for
expenditure of $10, 000 to match funds being raised
Performing locally by the City of Kent Performing Arts Center
Arts Center Task Force for the purpose of hiring a consultant for
a Kent Cultural Center Feasibility Study and a
Comprehensive Cultural Plan. At its December 26, 1989
meeting, the Kent Arts Commission voted unanimously to
support this endeavor.
Patrice Thorell, Superintendent of Cultural Arts
Service for the City introduced Pat Curran, who noted
that one year ago Mayor Kelleher appointed a task force
to research the possibility of developing a Cultural
Arts Center in the downtown area. The committee
determined that a feasibility study is necessary along
with a comprehensive cultural plan for the City to give
direction for the next 10 years. The study would
determine whether there was enough support, the
financial feasibility, potential audience, potential
sites, etc. The Arts Commission supports this request
and is working to raise the initial $10, 000. Upon
White' s question, Curran noted that the study would
include long-term operational costs. HOUSER MOVED to
appropriate $10, 000 from the General Fund to match
monies being raised locally by the Performing Arts
Center Task Force upon successful completion of their
$10 , 000 fund-raising campaign. Woods seconded. White
noted that he had seen the questionnaire and
complimented the commission. He stated that he would
contribute and supported the study as a means of
identifying probable long-term costs. The motion
carried unanimously.

KENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT
April 12 , 1990
MEMO TO: MAYOR DAN KELLEHER AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: LIN BALL, SENIOR PLANNER
SUBJECT: 1991 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) FUNDING
Once again this year, the City of Kent qualifies to receive "pass-through"
funds for its 1991 Community Development Block Grant Program. The City has
received its estimate of 1991 funds from King County. The estimate is
slightly higher than the 1990 original estimate, but lower than the City' s
final approved 1990 program. The estimate is $185,237 . It is likely that
the estimate will go up rather than down, once program income and recaptured
funds from prior years are included. The County has indicated, though, that
it appears the recaptured funds and program income will be slightly less than
in the previous year. Based on this, we anticipate a 1991 Program at a
slightly less funding level than 1990.
The City Council needs to take three actions:
1. Receipt of Funds
The City of Kent needs to inform the County whether it elects to receive
the "pass-through" funds again this year or to compete for funds. The
Planning Department recommends that the City accept the pass-through
funds in lieu of the competitive funds. This recommendation is based
on the following:
a) With pass-through funds, the City is guaranteed a funding level far
greater than that received in the years prior to the availability
of the "pass-through" option. The only funds guaranteed previously
were the "pop fund" monies, which in 1986 (the last year prior to
the pass-through option being available) were approximately $94 , 000
for the City of Kent.
b) If the City does not elect to take the pass-through monies, Kent
is not guaranteed the receipt of any CDBG funds. Kent would have
to compete with the County and other cities for all funds.
c) The pass-through alternative maximizes the City's discretion in use
of funds. The City will be able to plan its own programs based on
its own community needs without having to compete for funds to
implement the projects.
2 . Public (Human) Services Funding
If the City chooses to accept pass-through funds, it can reserve up to
sixteen (16) percent of its pass-through dollars to allocate to public
services. If the City does not reserve the right to use this amount of
funding for human services, another city can request the use of any
unreserved ceilings . In order for the City to retain the maximum
flexibility in the use of its CDBG funds, and to continue its present
support for human services, the Planning Department recommends that the
City of Kent notify the County that it wishes to reserve the maximum 16%
of its total allocated money for human services.
MAYOR DAN KELLEHER AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
APRIL 12 , 1990
3 . Planning and Administration Funds
As with human services, the City has a maximum of its CDBG funds that
can be spent for Planning and Administration. The maximum amount which
can be reserved is seven (7) percent of its pass-through allocation.
In 1990 the City is using these funds to do a community needs assessment
to assist the City in setting funding priorities for its CDBG money.
Because this study is being done in 1990 , there is not an immediate need
in 1991 for the City to reserve a large amount of the CDBG money for
Planning and Administration. A small amount should be set aside to pay
for communications, printing, and supplies. Staff feels that the rest
of the amount which could be allocated to Planning and Administration
would be better spent by leaving it in our general pot of money to be
spent for other needed projects. For this reason, the Planning
Department recommends that the City of Kent notify the County that it
wishes to reserve only one-half of one percent ( . 5%) of its 1991 CDBG
funds for Planning and Administration.
The Planning Committee considered these funding issues at its April 3rd
meeting and recommended approval of the three actions as presented, with the
exception of the public (human) services percentage. The action taken at
that time by the committee on the level of funding for public (human)
services dollars was to reserve the maximum percentage available. The
maximum amount available as presented by staff at that time was 15% .
Subsequent to the April 3rd meeting, staff received updated figures from the
County which increased the city' s maximum level of available funding for
human services from 15% to 16% .
The Planning Committee is considering these updated figures at its April 17th
meeting. Because the committee approved the maximum available level of
funding at its previous meeting, it is anticipated that they will approve the
updated 16% figure. If their recommendation differs, they will report to the
full City Council at the April 17th city Council meeting.
The city' s approval of these three items needs to be forwarded to King County
along with the city' s adopted 1991 CDBG Local Program Policies by April 20,
1990 .
Recommended Action
1. Approval of City Council to accept 1991 Pass-Through funds.
2 . Allocation of 16% of 1991 Pass-Through funds ($29 , 638) to Public (Human)
Services.
3 . Allocation of . 5% ($926) of 1991 Pass-Through funds to Planning and
Administration.

CDBG FUNDING
Senior Planner Lin Ball reported it is estimated the City can receive
$185, 000 in pass-through funding for the 1991 community Development Block
Grant program. It is anticipated that actual funding will increase due to
program income and recaptured funds from prior years. Staff requests that
the Planning Committee recommend the following for the City Council Consent
Calendar of April 17th: 1) Accept pass-through funding, 2) Reserve Public
(Human) Services funds up to the maximum of 15%, and 3) Reserve Planning and
Administration funds at . 5% (approximately $900 in 1991) . Although it is
possible to reserve Planning and Administration funds up to 6% or 7%, staff
does not believe there is a need to reserve the maximum amount in 1991.
Staff feels the money would be better spent by leaving it in the general pot
of money to be spent for other needed projects. Councilwoman Orr MOVED and
Councilwoman Houser SECONDED the motion to recommend approval of the Block
Grant program proposed by staff. Motion carried.
ADMINISTRATIVE POLICY FOR INQUIRIES FOR DIRECT SERVICES
Planning Director Harris noted Mayor Kelleher had placed this item on
tonight ' s City Council Consent Calendar. Senior Planner Ball stated the
policy had been adopted by the Human Services Commission in response to
staff ' s and the Commission' s concerns about contacts received from persons
in need of human services . It is important that City staff is consistent in
responding to those persons in need of human services. Mayor Kelleher
approved the policy and requested that the City Council endorse the policy
and the "white paper" which provided background information. The "white
paper" material came from the plan adopted by the City Council in 1986, which
plan sets policies for the City ' s role in human services. It noted that the
City would not be a direct provider of services but would fund agencies who
provide human services. Mayor Kelleher has asked City Administrator Chow to
set up training for City staff on this administrative policy. Councilwoman
Houser MOVED and Councilwoman Orr SECONDED the motion to place the
Administrative Policy for Inquiries for Direct Services on the City Council
Consent Calendar for approval . Motion carried.

creator: Tony MCCARTHY / KENT70/FN Dated: 03/29/90 at 1754 .
THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT IS REQUESTING THAT A WATER QUALITY POSITION
APPROVED IN THE 1990 BUDGET BE ESTABLISHED AS AN ENGINEERING RATHER THAN
A TECHNICAL POSITION. FUNDS WERE APPROPRIATED FOR A TECHNICAL POSITION
BUT AFTER EVALUATION BY BOTH PUBLIC WORKS AND PERSONNEL, IT WAS DETERMINED
THAT THE POSITION IS REQUIRED TO PERFORM ENGINEERING TYPE DUTIES. FUNDS
ARE AVAILABLE IN THE 1990 BUDGET TO COVER THIS ADJUSTMENT SINCE THE POSITION
HAS BEEN VACANT ALL YEAR. THE IMPACT ON THE 1991 BUDGET WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY
$1, 500.
BASED ON THE NEEDS OF THE JOB, THE IPC RECOMMENDS THIS CHANGE.

SUBJECT: ACCEPTANCE OF BID PROPOSAL FROM L.N. CURTIS FOR HIGH
PRESSURE AIR COMPRESSOR
----------------------------------------------------------------
Introduction Background•
Because of the significant increase in warehouse space and multi-
family complexes, along with the 10 to 15 percent increase in
incident numbers, the need for an additional mobile high pressure
air source was singled out and proposed before the City Council
in early 1989 . Funds were allocated for this project through the
City' s Capital Improvement Fund.
The criteria for the compressor was five fold:
1. Operational reliability and simplicity
2 . Ease of maintenance
3 . Ease and timeliness of parts procurement
4 . Mobility and flexibility
5. In field operational history
Specifications were written to meet each of the criteria in
addition to upgrading the output from 18 cfm to 24 . 5 cfm, the
purification system with cartridge monitors and analysis system,
and the volume tank capacity.
Through the bid process only one (1) competitor was able to meet
all the criteria and specifications written.
Recommended Action:
Council accept the bid of $31, 904 . 63 from L.N. Curtis (includes
sales tax/shipping) to build and deliver one (1) High Pressure
Compressor package.
Significance:
This new system will upgrade the Fire Departments present system
and fill any vulnerabilities in service that a singular air
source is subject to.
Budget/Economic Impact:
This project has been budgeted through the Capital Improvement
Fund with no impact on the general operating budget of the
Department.
Alternatives/Consequences:
There are no better alternatives within the price range allocated
by the City Council and applicable to Fire Department usage.

RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION of the City Council of the
City of Kent, Washington, relating to the
purchase of a 40-foot mobile command post
vehicle.
WHEREAS, the voters of the City of Kent have authorized a
bond issue for the enhancement of public safety facilities and
selected equipment; and
WHEREAS, the bond issue provided limited funding for a
Mobile Command Post Unit, to be jointly used by the Police and
Fire Departments, a Committee was formed with members from both
departments to study the issue; and
WHEREAS, the Committee identified many divergent types of
emergencies the Unit will be required to respond to, necessitating
multiple functions to be conducted within the unit at the same
time; and
WHEREAS, each function (command, planning and
communications) will require their separate areas within the Unit
and a floor plan to provide this separation with a minimum of
remodeling; and
WHEREAS, large amounts of support equipment will be
needed to be transported on the vehicle, requiring a model with
sufficient space to provide that storage; and
WHEREAS, the Command Post Study examined multiple
vehicles and manufacturers and has determined that a motorhome
would provide the flexibility to be deployed rapidly, including a
floor plan which requires minimum modification by Police and Fire
personnel, with a "Basement" feature to provide the needed storage
area; and
WHEREAS, the Command Post Study further determined that
no manufacturers will remodel or change their product to provide
for a "Basement" specification; and
WHEREAS, in order to meet needed space for the Command
Post a 40-foot motorhome is required, there being only one
manufacturer which builds a 40-foot model with a "Basement" within
the amount of money budgeted, that being the 40-foot Bounder; and
+
WHEREAS, the Council finds the purchase of a 40-foot
Bounder by the City is clearly and legitimately limited to a ". .,
he vicinity of the City of Kent,
single source of supply within tth
4
and further finds this model is capable of providing for. ,. e needs
of a Mobile Command post as defined in the Study; NOW, THEREFORE;':..
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENT, WASHINGTON DOES
HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The requirements for the purchasing of any ..
4o-foot Bounder are hereby waived for the purposes of RCW
35.23.352 and Kent City Code 4.02.010 and that the said purchase
is clearly and legitimately limited to a single source or supply ;-
warranting the direct purchase of the 4c-foot Bounder by the City.
of Kent without competitive bidding for these requirements.
Passed at a regular meeting of the City Council of the . ;
City of Kent, Washington this day of
1989..

Water Conservation School Program
Gill explained this is a continuation of the program started last
year through the Regional Water Association to provide for public
education on water conservation through presentation to the
elementary schools. Last year, Kent sponsored the presentations
to schools in Kent ' s water service area and we are being asked to
continue our participation in the program. This year' s
presentations are scheduled for O'Brien Elementary, Park Orchard
Elementary, Scenic Hill Elementary, SunnyCrest, Kent and Pine Tree
Elementary and Kent' s contribution is estimated to be $2 , 100 which
we are proposing to pay from the water operating budget. May
Miller stated that IBC recommended we continue Kent' s participation
in the project but to do so from existing funds without having to
do an additional budget proposal . The Committee unanimously
approved Kent' s continued participation in the program and
appropriating the $2 , 100 from the existing water operating funds.
L. I . D. 328 - Authorize Condemnation - Parcel 17
Gill explained this is one of the remaining parcels on which we are
trying to acquire right of way for construction of L. I.D. 328 .
While negotiations are continuing, the attorney's office felt it
best to proceed with adoption of the ordinance authorizing
condemnation in the event these negotiations are not successful.
Bill Williamson explained the present owners of the site apparently
did not get a title report before they bought the property so there
are many prior ownership interests in the property that have not
been cleared. This ordinance will also preserve Kent' s rights to
the property and require the current owner to clear title. The
Committee unanimously recommended approval of the ordinance
authorizing condemnation on Parcel 17 .
Rosemary Glen - Release of Easement
Gill explained this development is in the vicinity of the east side
of 94th Avenue and 222nd in the Garrison Creek area. Kent has a
transmission line that feeds the Garrison Creek reservoir which
diagonals across the property which conflicted with some of the
proposed building lot locations. The developer proposed relocating
the line to follow their new proposed property lines and give us
an easement for the new line and we would then release the easement
Public Works Committee
April 3 , 1990
Page 2
on the old line. Dowell questioned releasing the easement before
we receive the new easement. Gill clarified we do have the new
easement but we haven't accepted the utility improvements as yet.
The Committee unanimously approved release of the easement.
Canyon Drive Improvements
Dowell referred to an accident that had occurred at the
intersection of Smith and Titus this date. White asked the status
of the project. Gill replied we are currently doing right of way
acquisition. There are a lot of parcels involved and we are trying
to assess the damages. Dowell asked how much are we taking. Gill
replied as a minimum about 4-5 feet and where there are full turn
pockets we require more. There was discussion regarding the letter
recently received from the State regarding the speed limit on
Canyon. Dowell referred also to the traffic that comes off Central
right onto Titus to miss the light at Smith and Central. Titus
isn't designed to handle the large volumes of traffic and citizens
complain about the fumes emitted by the cars that are lined up.
White asked that at the next meeting the Traffic Engineer and
someone from Enforcement be in attendance to address the issues of
the intersection and the speeds on Canyon. Dowell asked also the
issue of traffic on Titus be addressed at the same time.
Transportation Improvement Board Funding Allocations
Gill related that the Transportation Improvement Board is notifying
the suburban cities and counties about available funding for
transportation improvement projects. Kent received notices on four
projects, 272/277th Corridor; 192/196th Corridor West Leg;
192/196th Corridor Middle Section; and a joint project with Metro
for a Park and Ride totaling about $25 million in available
funding. White asked how soon Kent needed to be up to speed on
these projects. Gill responded we are preparing the prospectus now
on the projects. We are working up alternatives for matching local
funds and staffing requirements to bring before the Council. Gill
referred to the vehicle registration fee that King County has
authority to collect as one alternative for matching local funds.
The fee could be $15 per vehicle per year. King County will be
presenting this option to their Council and Executive for approval
to implement January 1 and asking for letters of support from the
suburban cities . If implemented January 1, it is estimated this
fee could generate about $15 . 6 million county-wide, $6. 9 for King
County and the remainder distributed to the suburban cities based
on per capita. White commented that since these corridor projects
have been council ' s top priority for several years he would like
Public Works Committee
April 3 , 1990
Page 3
staff to move as quickly as possible. He stated he would like to
see a plan that moves these projects forward- if it takes more
personnel he would like to have that presented. It was concluded
that these alternatives be presented to the Committee at their
meeting on May 1 .
