that could possibly be used. White asked staff's suggestion to
solve the problem. Nizlek stated he felt it would take this
measure plus added enforcement as you will continue to get those
who will scoff the laws. The Committee concluded they would like
staff to proceed with implementing the temporary measures this year
and to request the funding from IBC. White asked Dowell and Orr to
take the request for increased enforcement to the Public Safety
Committee. Nizlek alluded to the need for an established procedure
and criteria for the placement of these types of barricades. White
agreed and suggested that we proceed with this location and staff
can then prepare a procedure to bring before the Committee and
Council for approval.
Authorization to Surplus Equipment
Heydon referred to the material that was included in the
Committee's packet which supported Equipment Rental's policy of
replacing these pieces of equipment with approximately 4,500 hours.
Heydon stated we also have the option of using this equipment as
trade-in on purchase of new equipment. The Committee unanimously
approved to surplus the equipment.
Speed Limits - West Valley Highway
Williamson stated an ordinance has been prepared reducing the speed
limit on West Valley Highway during construction. Williamson
stated he believes the City has authority under State statute to
allow and enforce the speed reduction. The Committee unanimously
recommended adoption.
Vehicle Registration Fee
After a brief discussion, the Committee unanimously recommended
approval of the Vehicle Registration Fee.
)Mlw- Library Street Closure fist Avenue)
Hansen reviewed the approved traffic patterns for the Library. The
contractor would like to proceed with this closure so he can bring
his equipment into the site. Dowell asked about parking for those
businesses on First and Second. Hansen responded the Library's
parking lot is public parking and there are 127 spaces available.
In addition there will be parking available in the municipal
parking lot across from the new library. It was determined that
after completion of the library there will be more parking
available than there is now. Hansen reviewed that the closure is

just for access from Smith. The Committee unanimously recommended
that a public hearing be held on closure of the Smith Street access
to First Avenue and that staff proceed with the traffic revision
process.
Traffic "Bulge" Frager Road and S. 212th and Crow Road Bypass
The Committee asked staff to followup on these requests and to
contact the individuals who brought the issues up at Council
meeting and to bring this back before the Committee.
Left Turn from James Street to First Church of Nazarene
Dowell stated this came up in Public Safety Committee. It was
suggested that "No Left Turn" be placed on James Street.
Committee asked staff to review the problem and to bring
recommendations back before the Committee.
Rubberized Rail Crossings
Wickstrom stated that bids were opened this morning on purchase of
the rubber for the railroad crossings. He would like to add it to
the agenda for this evening's Council meeting in order to
facilitate the construction to coordinate with the City's Overlay
project. The Committee agreed.
s
STREET CLOSURE
FIRST AVENUE
Notice is hereby given that the City of Kent proposes to
close a portion of First Avenue as a permanent traffic revision
for the new library to be located at First Avenue and Smith
Street. The portion of First Avenue to be closed is that which
will be necessary for an outlet from First Avenue onto Smith
Street to allow a turnaround for traffic.
The City Council of the City of Kent will hold a public hearing
on this proposed street closure on September 4, 1990 at 7:OOp.m.
in the Kent City Hall.

ence in municipal government, including six years
as attorney for 14 municipalities in Alaska. He
also announced that cake and coffee will be served

CONSENT WHITE MOVED that Consent Calendar Items A through
CALENDAR U be approved with the exception of Item 3G which

which was removed by Councilmember Mann. Orr
seconded and the motion carried.
MINUTES (CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 3A)
Approval of Minutes. APPROVAL of the minutes of
the regular Council meeting of August 7, 1990,
with the following correction to Item 3E:
Russell Road Picnic Shelter. AUTHORIZATION to
accept as complete the Russell Road Picnic Shelter
project, and to release retainage to Golf Land-
scaping upon receipt of state release, and to
transfer $3.759 from the Kent Kherson Peace Park
unexpended protect balance to the Russell Road
Picnic Shelter account, as recommended by the
Parks Committee.
HEALTH AND (CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 3L)
SANITATION Ridgeaate Apartments. ACCEPTANCE of the Bill of
Sale and Warranty agreements submitted by Griffin -
Holly joint venture for continuous operation and
maintenance of approximately 1,489 feet of water
main extension and 932 feet of sanitary sewer
extension constructed in the vicinity of SE 248th

August 21, 1990
HEALTH AND and 100th Ave SE for the Ridgegate Apartment Com-
SANITATION plex and releasing a cash bond after expiration of
the one year maintenance.
UTILITIES (CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 3G)
Disputed Water Bill. Mr. Mason of Packers Plus,
Inc. has contested his June water/sewer bill in
the amount of $663.54. He advised the Operations
Committee that for the past 15 years his bill has
been between $27 and $32 per month and that no
leaks had been found. Charles Lindsey of Customer
Services had advised that the meter had been
checked and the water had passed through the
meter. Lindsey had advised the committee that
there was no policy to deal with this and so
Council action is hereby sought. The committee
recommends that the City divide the bill with Mr.
Mason.
Dowell suggested that the City should have a
policy and stick to it. He feared that this action
would prompt a string of such disputes over water
bills. Finance Director McCarthy stated that this
is the second such dispute this year and the Oper-
ations Committee split the bill with a customer in
January also. He noted a procedure for making
adjustments if leaks are found and repaired, but
that this did not apply in either of these cases.
He clarified that Lindsey referred it to him and
he referred it to the Operations Committee which
now has made a recommendation to the Council.
White asked what kind of leak could cause con-
sumption to jump from 600 cf to 18,500 cf in a two
month period. DOWELL MOVED to deny this request
and not allow the City to pick up half of Mason's
bill, and to direct staff to follow procedures.
White seconded. Johnson noted that he had set up
the current policy to consider on a case by case
basis. Mann noted the meter could be faulty.
McCarthy verified that this was not found to be
SO. White expressed concern that a hose could
have been left running and the rest of the water
customers were now asked to share in the cost of
this. Dowell clarified that the appeal process
had been established as through Lindsey and
McCarthy and should be followed. The motion
failed with only White and Dowell supporting it.
HOUSER MOVED to adjust the Mason bill in accor-
dance with the recommendation of the Operations
2
August 21, 1990
UTILITIES Committee. Johnson seconded and the motion
carried with Dowell dissenting.
STREETS (CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 3N)
Library Street Closure (1st Avenue). AUTHORIZA-
TION to set September 4 as the date for a public
hearing on closure of the 1st Avenue access onto
Smith Street in conjunction with construction of
the new library.
TRAFFIC
(CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 3V)
CONTROL
(REMOVED BY COUNCILMEMBER MANN)
Vehicle Registration Fee. On June 5, 1990 the
Council adopted Resolution No. 1246 supporting and
requesting that the County implement the local
option vehicle registration fee authorized by the
State. Now the Mayor has been asked to send a
letter to the County to support the development of
common planning and coordination of the process
for the vehicle registration fee. Mann stated
that in view of the new outrageous property taxes,
he could not agree to any more taxes, no matter
how small. WHITE MOVED to delay action to the
next meeting and the motion failed for lack of a
second. Wickstrom explained that a new state law
would allow the County to charge an additional fee
of $15 for each vehicle registered and noted fur-
ther that the funds could be used for street
improvements only. He noted that this would be a
part of the total financing package for the corri-
dor improvements. This program could generate
about $321,000 per year to be used to implement
the 272nd or 196th corridor. He noted that this
is the second stage of this program. Mann stated
that he was taking a stand and would vote nay.
WHITE MOVED to approve Item 3V and Johnson second-
ed. White noted that the Council had asked staff
to put together a package for the corridors and
this was a part of it. Wickstrom explained for
Houser that the County was obligated to spend the
money on roads in the cities which are participat-
ing. White reminded the Council that solving of
transportation problems was the City's #1 goal.
The motion passed with Mann and Houser voting
against it.
ZONING
(OTHER BUSINESS - ITEM 4B)
CODE
Amendments to Parking Revisions Regulations (ZCA-
90-3). On July 23, 1990, the Planning Commission
3
August 21, 1990
ZONING voted to recommend certain changes to the City's
CODE zoning code relating to parking requirements for
proposed multifamily developments. The matter had
been referred to the Planning Commission by the
Council's Planning Committee in March, 1990. This
issue stemmed from a parking problem at the Lakes
development, which was brought to the attention of
the City Council by the Bridgewater Condominium
homeowners.
The recommended changes by the Planning Commission
address future multifamily developments incorpo-
rating garages in their site plan. As approved,
garages would be accessed by an 18-foot driveway
which would act as a "stacking space" for the
garage. In the event that a garage unit is used
for another purpose, the 18-foot stacking space
would serve as a facto parking stall, ensuring
adequate parking. In addition, the Planning Com-
mission has recommended that the code be amended
to allow the Planning Department to conduct site
plan review to ensure that adequate parking is
provided within close proximity to each unit
entrance.
Laura Yeates, Planning Intern, compiled a com-
prehensive report for the Planning Commission
public hearing. She introduced Tracy Faust who
presented the background leading to the recom-
mendations to change the zoning code regulations
relating to parking spaces for multifamily devel-
opment. JOHNSON MOVED to approve the recommenda-
tions of the Planning Commission as shown above
and to direct the City Attorney to prepare the
required ordinance. White seconded and the motion
carried.
PUBLIC WORKS (OTHER BUSINESS - ITEM 4A)
Green River Flood Control Zone District. In a
cooperative agreement among King County, Auburn,
Kent, Renton and Tukwila, construction of needed
levee improvements along the Green River will be
the responsibility of the abutting jurisdictions
with the County taking over the maintenance and
operation of the levee system.
The source of funding will be the flood control
zone district and its taxing authority. By imple-
menting a charge of 6 cents per $1,000 property
4
August 21, 1990
PUBLIC WORKS valuation on property owners in the flood control
zone district, sufficient funds would be generated
to properly maintain the Green River levee system.
Wickstrom described the program, pointing out the
importance of proper maintenance of the levees and
management of the flood watch program.
WHITE MOVED to adopt Resolution No. 1256, request-
ing King County Council to implement the flood
control zone district and its financing authority.
Johnson seconded. Mann stated he would oppose
this additional tax, to give the message to the
State that the additional taxes are not fair.
Motion carried with Mann opposing.
(BIDS - ITEM 5D)
Kensington Avenue storm The Public Works Depart-
ment has designed a storm project for Kensington
Avenue to correct a flooding problem in the area.
Funding for the project is included in the budget
for Miscellaneous Storm Projects. Because the
project estimate did not exceed $30,000, a formal
bidding process was not required, and proposals
were solicited instead. The following proposals
were received:
1. Scoccolo Construction $14,098.94
2. Merlino Construction $15,285.34
3. R.W. Scott Construction $18,344.57
4. Como Construction $22,192.93
5. Robison Construction $35,013.59
Staff recommends that the project be awarded to
Scoccolo Construction. WHITE SO MOVED, Houser
seconded. The motion carried.
REZONE AND
(PUBLIC HEARINGS - ITEMS 2B AND 2C)
REZONE APPEAL
Minshull-Wagner Rezone No RZ-90-5 The Mayor
noted that this meeting will consider the
Minshull/
Hearing Examiner's recommendation to deny the
Wagner
application by Margaret Minshull/Jacob C. and
Rezone
Lillie Wagner to rezone 18.5 acres from RA,
Residential Agricultural, to R1-7.2, Single Family
Residential. The property is located west of 92nd
Ave. S. at 20129 92nd Ave. S. Scott Williams of
the Planning Department stated that the staff had
noted that the Valley Floor Plan designation is
SF, Single Family Residential, but due to the
5
August 21, 1990
REZONE AND slopes, staff recommends R1-12 rather than R1-7.2.
REZONE APPEAL The Mayor noted that an appeal has been filed and
will be heard after this item. He then opened a
public hearing on the rezone.
Minshull/
Wagner Donna Williamson, 20211 92nd Ave. S. stated that
Rezone the proposed project surrounds her home and she
objected to small lots, the increase in traffic
and loss of trees.
Linda Stewart of 20028 92nd Ave. S. agreed and
noted the increased traffic would be hazardous for
children in the area.
Lillie Wagner, one of the applicants, stated that
she had been a resident of the area since 1951 and
that the request to rezone to R1-7.2 was in com-
pliance with the Comprehensive Plan. She noted
that affordable housing was needed by young
families as well as for seniors, and pointed out
that an easement had been provided for sewer on
the west boundary of her property.
Midge Sweley also objected to the small lot size
and suggested that 12,000 square feet would be
more appropriate.
Ms. Tweeten of 9030 S. 200th St., stated that
roads were a problem and further that she had not
been notified of the hearing before the Examiner.
Ed Cleveland urged the Council to grant the rezone
and pointed out that the term agricultural zoning
was misleading.
Martin Durkan Jr. of 22401 Sweeney Road identified
himself as a business consultant dealing with land
use matters. He had reviewed Ms. Wagner's file
and noted that the property is served by sewer,
water, etc. and is ideal for residential develop-
ment. The rezone is consistent with the area, as
there is a pocket of 7200 zoning just to the
south. Whitney Hills, a plat across the street,
just approved by the county, consists of 28 lots
ranging from 9600 square feet up to 11,000 square
feet. Neither the Planning nor the Public Works
departments could find negative impact which could
not be mitigated. He pointed out that the county
had requested that sidewalks be placed on
2
August 21, 1990
REZONE AND 92nd Ave. S. by the developers of Whitney Hills.
REZONE APPEAL He suggested a compromise between the applicant's
request and the Hearing Examiner's recommendation.
Minshull/
Wagner Cal Stewart stated that he lived across from
Rezone the Wagner parcel and suggested that the Hearing
Examiner denied the rezone because the applicant
could not give a reason such as that there was no
more land available with this zoning.
Gene Williamson of 20211 92nd Ave. S. stated that
it was a matter of economics and more lots would
mean more money for the owners, without regard for
the residents of the immediate area.
The Mayor confirmed for Ken Mellot that the Hear-
ing Examiner minutes are part of the packet the
Council is considering tonight. Mellot noted that
he had asked about the view and the proposed
height of homes. He noted also the hardpan
composition of the hillside.
Dan Johnson, 10504 S.E. 206th, favored the appli-
cant's request, stating that the lot size would
make the homes more affordable.
There were no further comments and the public
hearing on the rezone was closed.
Upon White's request, Scott Williamson determined
that written notice was mailed to all who lived
within 200 feet of the subject property, as is
required by law. He further explained the view
restrictions and the protection of property
upslope. Upon Houser's question it was noted that
the minimum zoning across the street is 9600 and
that most of the lots are one-half acre or larger.
Scott Williamson clarified for Dowell that R1-20
zoning is nearby at S. 218th St. and 94th Ave. S.
and that streets and sidewalks were usually
required at the time of the development. He also
determined that if the grades were at 12%, sprin-
klers would be required in the homes. Upon Mann's
question, it was reported that 92nd Ave. S. is in
the county and could therefore not be part of a
City LID and the Mayor suggested that those who
had questions about the road could speak to the
Public Works Director.
"" 7
August 21, 1990
REZONE AND The Mayor noted that the applicants for the
REZONE APPEAL rezone have filed an appeal to the recommendation
of the Hearing Examiner and opened the public
Minshull/ hearing on the appeal.
Wagner
Appeal The Council's options with regard to the rezone
and to the appeal were determined. Acting City
Attorney Carolyn Lake noted that many of the same
comments made during the hearing on the rezone
might also be part of the hearing on the appeal
and at her suggestion, MANN MOVED that the
testimony given for the rezone become a part of
the appeal hearing. Johnson seconded and the
motion carried unanimously.
Martin Durkan Jr. noted that the developers of
Whitney Heights were required to improve
92nd Ave. S.
Ms. Tweeten stated that widening 92nd Ave. S.
won't help inasmuch as the other roads are only
two lanes.
Ms. Swelev requested that the traffic counts be
rechecked.
There were no further comments and WHITE MOVED to
close the hearing on the appeal Orr seconded
and the motion carried.
It was determined that traffic counts both actual
and estimated were contained in the Hearing
Examiner's minutes.
JOHNSON MOVED to modify the Hearing Examiner's
findings to rezone the parcel to R1-12, White
seconded. Mann stated he would vote against this
as we are dealing with an area over which we have
no control. White stated that he looked at this
as an opportunity to upgrade the road as a miti-
gating circumstance, to be taken care of in the
EIS. Orr agreed but suggested that other roads in
the area be included. JOHNSON MOVED to amend his
motion to direct staff to recommend conditions to
go with the rezone approval to R1-12 and for the
attorney to include conditions in the rezone ordi-
nance. White asked Satterstrom to be more spe-
cific as to conditions and it was determined that
tion could be the Planning Department's recom-
N
August 21, 1990
REZONE AND mendation dealing with the slope of the road in
REZONE APPEAL the plat and also the subject of 92nd Ave. S.
could be discussed with the Public Works Director.
Minshull/ Ms. Lake reminded Council that mitigation measures
Wagner must be limited only to the affect this proposal
Appeal will have on the existing area --the traffic,
roads, etc. The City cannot require mitigation
for affects that are already in place. In answer
to the Mayor's question, she noted that conditions
could be attached as part of the SEPA review or as
mitigation measures as conditions to a rezone
ordinance as directed by Council.
It was determined that the motion as revised
is to modify the Hearing Examiner's recommendation
and adopt R1-12 for RZ-90-5 and to delay action to
the next meeting to allow staff time to prepare
conditions to address the traffic problems.
Dowell noted that the Hearing Examiner said that
there is no other way out other than 92nd Ave. S.
and that this could not be mitigated and that he
would not vote for this motion. White reiterated
that this was an opportunity to improve the roads
and have sidewalks at the expense of the developer
Upon a roll call vote the motion carried with
Dowell and Mann dissenting. It was clarified that
the public hearing on the appeal has been conclud-
ed and JOHNSON THEN MOVED to continue action on
the appeal to the next meeting. White seconded
and the motion carried.

Carol Proud of the Planning Department noted that
the property is located on the west side of West
Valley Highway, north of S. 236th Street and
S. 238th Street. She listed the conditions as

four different companies. The low bid was submit-
ted by Case Power, however the equipment for which
their bid was submitted did not meet specifica-
tions. Coastline Ford Tractor submitted the next
lowest bid for equipment that did meet the speci-
fications. Coastline Ford Tractor's bid of
$27,454.50 included an allowance for trade-in of
existing equipment which has been surplused by
Council action tonight. Staff recommends that the
equipment be purchased from Coastline Ford Tractor

BUDGET (PUBLIC HEARINGS - ITEM 2A)
1991 Budget. Tonight's meeting has been set to
receive public input for the 1991 budget. The
public hearing was declared open. The Finance
Director explained that this meeting follows
receipt of public input at the July 17 Council
meeting and the presentation of departmental
programs to Council at a August 9, 1990 work
session. The official public hearing on the
budget will be held November 6, 1990 prior to
scheduled budget adoption on December 4, 1990.
The Mayor declared the public hearing open. Peter
Maurer, a member of the Human Services Commission,
noted that during the past year, they were unable
to fund $100,000 in requests. He asked that fund-
ing for the ten agencies currently being funded be
renewed, and asked for funding for two new agen-
cies. He then introduced Dee Moschel who stated
that the new agencies are the Valley Cities Mental
Health Center and Child and Family Resource Cen-
ter. Moschel noted that the Valley Cities Mental
Health Center has been operating in Kent since
1965, and that in 1986 they added a section for
abused women, taking referrals from DAWN and the
King County Sexual Assault Center. She noted that
the Child and Family Resource Center is an agency
for parents seeking child care. She urged the
Council to fund these two new agencies. Ms.
Moschel, as President of the Kent Downtown Associ-
ation, then asked the Council to continue their
support of KDA. Moschel noted for Dowell that
these requests are within their percentage. The
Mayor noted that the City appreciates the work of
the Human Services Commission. The public hearing
was then closed by motion, and the Mayor noted
that no further action is required at this time.

Salary survey. The Personnel Department has pro-
vided Salary Survey results, identification of
fiscal impact and recommendations for the imple-
mentation of the Salary Survey. Personnel
Director Olson distributed the list of 42 bench-
mark classifications and the salary survey sum-
mary. It is recommended that changes be imple-
mented on September 1. Thirteen public entities
were surveyed, within a 40 mile radius. Olson
pointed out that no union member would be included
in any of the salary changes recommended. He
clarified his reasons for not recommending a
freeze in the salaries for the positions which
were shown to be over the amount paid elsewhere in
the survey.
HOUSER MOVED that the Salary Survey be adopted and
implemented on September 1, 1990. Mann seconded
and the motion carried.
(OTHER BUSINESS - ITEM 4E)
Permit Center Cashier. The Fire Department has a
position for a cashier for the new permit center
requested for the 1991 budget to be funded by the
Public Works, Fire and the Planning Departments
and the Operations and IBC Committees recommend
that the cashiering position be filled.
Hansen noted that the center would need a person
on -site as soon as the facility opens. Houser
noted that this position has not as yet been
approved for 1991 and opined that the position
should not be filled early. Dowell asked if fees

August 21, 1990
PERSONNEL would be raised to cover the salaries. Hansen
noted that he did not have figures but that the
Chamber of Commerce had supported the idea of
raising fees. He determined that the time
required to process permits would be reduced. It
was clarified that this was not a Permit Coordina-
tor position but a Customer Services II position.
MANN MOVED that the Fire Department be authorized
to hire one and one half persons to staff the
Customer Services Assistant position for the
Permit Center. Orr seconded.
White asked how many people would staff the permit
center and it was estimated by McCarthy at 15 or
16 in 1991 but the cost was not available. White
objected to approving for 1990, that which has not
been approved yet for 1991. Orr stated that she
did not favor adding to the budget but thought the
office should have staff ready when the new facil-
ity opened. Dowell suggested that the people
hired early could be used for other tasks. White
stated that he had been trying to find out how
much quicker permits could be processed through
the new office and with additional employees and
Wickstrom explained the duties which the new
Y people would cover. Hansen noted that the quality
of the service was also of prime concern. The
Mayor suggested that staff prepare a written memo
for White giving alternatives: if none of the
budget requests were implemented what the slowdown
would be and what staffing would be required to
make a substantial reduction in the processing
time for permits. Houser noted that the Chamber
had specifically stated that they would not
support anything that did not go through the
regular budget process. White noted he would not
support this item and pointed out that no opening
date had been proposed for the new center. It was
determined that the Finance Department could not
spare a cashier for the new center. Mann's motion
carried with White and Houser voting against.

regarding use of underground storage tanks, the
City could possibly be responsible for having the
tank tested, future monitoring of the tank and
later replacement of the tank. Due to the
previous and current relationship with use of the
site, the City has the opportunity to move forward
in a leadership role to protect the environment
and to project a positive image for the park by
having the tank removed now using City funds.

Council Agenda
Item No. 3C
July 20, 1990
To: Ed Chow, City Administrator
From: Rod Frederiksen, Chief of Police
Subject: Internal Affairs Coordinator
Problem Statement - In 1988, an Internal Affairs Coordinator
position was created within the Kent Police Department. The
position rank was initially determined to be classified as a police
officer. The reasoning behind establishing this position as that
of a police officer, was to have this function filled by a union
member which would allow close scrutiny and involvement by the
police union of a function which has created past controversy
within the police department. Position responsibility was viewed
as a fact gathering function with no opinions as to the
adjudication of the matter to be presented by the investigator to
the Chief of Police. The Chief of Police, based upon information
presented, determines the adjudication of the allegation and the
scope of disciplinary action should this be considered appropriate
and necessary.
The police union and Councilman Mann have expressed the desire to
have this position reclassified as a Lieutenant position. Their
reasoning is that it is inappropriate to have one union member
investigate another union member.
Discussion - Although I understand the Union position in this
matter, I still feel strongly that the current method of operation
of the internal affairs investigation does allow strong involvement
in this necessary task by the Union. Certainly, it is also
important to remember that Police Sergeants are expected to
evaluate their subordinates and at times recommend their removal
from office if performance necessitates.
However, in the interest of cooperation, I wish to support the
concept of elevating the internal affairs coordinator to the
position of Police Lieutenant. My recommendation is based on the
premise the tasks that are faced by the Internal Affairs
Coordinator would warrant the recognition of the difficulty and
stress of the position. In addition, the job has expanded to
include the responsibility of coordinating the background
investigation of potential new hires. As the Police Department
grows in size, it is likely that within a short time period that
additional employees will be added to the function presenting a
need for supervision and coordination of the Internal Affairs Unit.
Alternatives:
1. Leave things the way they currently are structured. This
- solution is likely to cause continued union dissatisfaction of the
current process for internal investigation. There would be no long
term direct cost increases for this alternative but indirect costs
based upon union dissatisfaction could result in poor morale, turn
over, and litigation expenses.
2. Elevate the Internal Affairs position to the rank of
Lieutenant. This action, would accomplish the removal of the
Internal Affairs function from union involvement as they have
requested. The down side of this alternative is that it could
create an "us against them" atmosphere. That is, union against
management, in the internal investigative function. It should be
clearly understood that it still would be necessary in complex
investigations to assign union members to assist in the
investigation that would be coordinated by the Lieutenant. Again,
this would be necessary due to the scope of the investigation or
the needed investigative experience of a union member. Hopefully,
this involvement will still provide the union a window into the
function and some additional assurance that the process will
continue to be done appropriately.
As a detective, Chuck Miller was being paid $3212 per month plus
an average of $5oo dollars per month in overtime expenses. Lt.
Miller is currently being paid $3658 per month as a Lieutenant.
Therefore, by increasing the rank of the Internal Affairs
Coordinator to the position of Lieutenant it appears that there
would actually be no additional cost to the City of Kent and
possibly a savings. Not only does this help justify the elevation
of the position but also points out the need to increase the salary
schedule for our police command staff.
summary - Based upon the above information, I request that you
support the elevation of the Internal Affairs Coordinator position
to the rank of Lieutenant and authorize my presenting this request
to the I.B.C. and Public Safety Committee. As there is no
additional cost involved in this recommendation, I request that we
move forward with this proposal in the 1990 budget year and also
include this change in our 1991 budget proposal. I feel that this
change will be viewed positively by our staff within the Police
Department and will actually increase the efficiency and
effectiveness of the position. I have an excellent eligibility
list for the position of lieutenant and look forward to utilizing
it as soon as possible in filling this position. Thanks for your
consideration of my request.

Closure Requests - 45th Place S and S 240th Street
Nizlek commented that both these locations are on the West Hill -
the one on 240th is near the drive-in near Highline Community
College and the other is 45th Place S. off Reith Road. At both
locations, dumping, vagrancy, abandoned vehicles are the problems.
Nizlek continued he is proposing to place a Type III barricade at
each location. The barricade would have a padlock which can be
removed for emergency and maintenance situations. Nizlek referred
to a letter from one of the property owners on 45th requesting we
delay placing that barricade for ninety days as they are in the
process of selling the property. Hugh Cropp was present
representing the condominium association in this area. With
reference to the cost of placing the barricades, Wickstrom
indicated the cost of placing the barricades would probably be
recovered by the reduction in cleanup costs. Mr. Cropp added that
a big problem in the area is drug dealing. White asked if the
property owners could be given a key to allow them access and once
that property is developed, the barricade could be removed. Nizlek
commented that a problem with that is someone removing the lock and
replacing it with another which would preclude emergency access.
Orr asked if the 90 day delay would be a problem. Mr. Cropp stated
he thought they could wait. Orr added we could condition it that
if the property is not sold in 90 days, the barricade would be
placed. Carolyn Lake suggested that an access agreement be
prepared so there is some notice provided in writing to the owner
of the necessity of having it available for emergency access. The
Committee unanimously recommended placing the barricade on S. 240th
immediately, placing the barricade on 45th after a 90 day waiting
period and for an access agreement to be developed for same.

Nizlek indicated a notice of the change had been hand delivered to
the merchants in the area and mailed to the property owners of
record. No negative comments were received from the merchants.
There was one complaint from a resident in the apartments about the
noise at night from the mail service. There was a request that
signs be installed for loading areas. Nizlek stated he would not
recommend doing that at this time. Carol Morris reviewed that when

drafting this ordinance, she found that the City had vacated 8 feet
to the Post Office in 1963. At that time the City had an ownership
interest in the alley itself and was not able to vacate an
easement. Thus, the 1963 ordinance was not effective and the City
should still have ownership of this 8 feet. She suggested the
vacation ordinance be repealed. The Committee unanimously
recommended adoption of the ordinance changing the direction of the
alley to one way southbound and to repeal the 1963 ordinance.
Corridor Funding
Wickstrom indicated the financing plan he prepared for the corridor
project is based on the grants we anticipate receiving. One of the
elements of the plan is a street utility and he is seeking
direction from Council whether or not they are interested in
proceeding with it$ formation. Wickstrom stated if there is no
interest there would be no reason to pursue the corridor funding.
IBC has proposed an option of implementing the street utility in
conjunction with eliminating the utility tax as a separate item on
the consumers bill and having the utility absorb the tax.
Wickstrom indicated this could result in a utility rate increase.
Another option would be to use CIP funds. White asked what the
ramifications of reworking the CIP would be. McCarthy stated
currently we are spending 60-70% of the CIP on debt service. If
another million were dedicated to road improvements then other
capital projects currently in the five year plan would probably be
deferred quite a few years. Wickstrom stated when he developed his
proposed financing plan he tried to put it together independent of
existing capital improvement program. There are still a lot of
other capital needs other than the corridors. White asked how our
utility rates compared to other cities. Wickstrom stated the water
rates are probably in the upper 90% but we have not had a rate
increase since 1984. Sewer rates are in the 50-75 percentile. We
have not had a sewer rate increase of City fees since 1980. We
have, however, passed along Metro's increases each year. Gill
stated the other water districts and municipalities are slowly
catching up to our water rates. White expressed concern over how
much more we can tax the citizens. McCarthy stated he had spoken
with the Mayor recently on this issue. His position is not to have
a tax increase but he would not be opposed to a revenue neutral
tax. McCarthy continued that what IBC is proposing is some revenue
neutral solution. Currently an average household might have water,
sewer and drainage charges for a year of about $700 with $24 a year
in utility tax. If the utility funds pay the utility tax instead
of the customer, then that relates to a tax savings of $24 a year
for the citizen. Implementing a street utility could assess each

The Planning Department has received approval from the State

1) $6,000 to provide partial funding to amend the City of Kent
Shoreline Master Program, including revisions to update the
Use Regulations, establish enforcement procedures, modify the
program format and administrative procedures, and establish
consistency with the State Shoreline Management Act; and
2) $13,500 to complete phase two of the wetlands inventory effort
and develop a wetlands management program. The intent of the
wetlands study is to inventory the City's wetlands and to
develop appropriate management policies and regulatory
guidelines for them. This action is required by the 1990
Growth Management Act and must be completed by September 1,
1991.
In order to use the DOE grant funds, they must be matched by the
City on a 50/50 basis.
The recommended action before you is acceptance of the DOE grant.
This acceptance would commit the City to match the $6,000 Shoreline
Master Program amendments funding, and the $13,500 Wetlands
Inventory Phase II funding, on a dollar -for -dollar basis, in the
1991 budget. (The 1990 expenditures for the Shoreline Master
Program amendments --staff salaries, etc. --were previously
authorized through the 1990 work program and budgeting process.)

PHASE II WETLANDS & SMP AMENDMENTS (L. ANDERSON)
Senior Planner Lauri Anderson explained a grant that was approved by City
Council last year for Phase I of a wetlands inventory. This report was given
—'to you at the July 17, 1990 meeting. Last spring, thinking that we wanted to
continue that project, the Planning Department applied for a grant to do
Phase II of the inventory and also to develop a management plan and at the
same time, Carol, knowing that the funds were available, went ahead to apply
for a grant to do some additional work on our Shoreline Master Program, which
is the update of that program is in our work program for this year.
Ms. Anderson reported that the Department of Ecology (DOE) has awarded us the
grant. The odd thing is that they combined the two of them into a single
grant. This is why there are two distinct elements but they are combined
under the one grant. The total funding that they would provide is $19,500
and we would have to match that with an equal amount on a 50/50 funding
amount. Ms. Anderson attached the Scope of Work to the agenda packet. Ms.
Anderson stated that what we are looking for is action on approval of the
acceptance.
Ms. Anderson stated the issue, of course, is that the wetlands portion of it
would be targeted to start in January 1991 and if the acceptance comes
through, it commits the Council to a budget item for next year and this went
to the IBC today.
Planning Manager Fred Satterstrom reported that the state is offering us the
$13,500 to complete phase two of the wetlands inventory effort and develop a
wetlands management program. The intent of the wetlands study is to
inventory the City's wetlands and to develop appropriate management policies
and regulatory guidelines for them. In order to use the DOE grant funds,
w they must be matched by the City on a 50/50 basis. If the Planning Committee
accepts the grant that would basically commit the Council to designating
CITY COUNCIL PLANNING COMMITTEE
MINUTES OF MEETING OF AUGUST 21, 1990
$13,500 local match next year in the 1991 budget. He explained that the down
side of this is that if we don't accept this, we lose the grant.
A long discussion occurred and questions were answered related to how the
funds are spent, etc. Fred responded that we are using in -kind match for the
Shoreline Master Program portion of the project.
Senior Planner Carol Proud explained that we had originally applied for two
separate grants but for the purpose of accounting, the DOE combined this into
one grant with two elements, the Shoreline Master Program and Phase II
Wetlands Inventory.
Council Chairman Jon Johnson asked Senior Planner Lauri Anderson what kind of
action she was looking for? Ms. Anderson stated that she is looking for
approval or denial of the acceptance of the grant. Councilwoman Leona Orr
made a motion for the approval of the acceptance of the grant. Councilwoman
Christi Houser seconded it. Motion carried.
HISTORIC PRESERVATION ORDINANCE (L. ANDERSON)
Senior Planner Lauri Anderson started by giving the committee some background
information. At our last meeting of August 7, 1990, she brought forward th
Historic Preservation Work Program. This program will be developing ak
historic preservation ordinance and scheduled to end late this fall.
Recommendation for ordinance policies would come forward to the Planning
Committee hopefully to be used as a basis for an ordinance that would tell us
how to deal with historic properties in Kent. An inventory has been done
which was updated in approximately 1981 and two years ago, being
rephotographed on site as well. These were properties that we identified
through the City as having some historic significance. Ms. Anderson said
these are not all on a state or a national register but have been discussed
with the city historian and various people are on a local list. King County
has some of these properties on their list of significant sites. While our
city's historical ordinance is in the making, in the past two weeks, we have
had inquiries about two of these homes. One is the Ponnson home, which was
an issue last year, and the Burke home.
A photo was passed around of the Ponnson home located on Central Avenue that
has been identified by King County has an important property. A little
history was given about the house. Ms. Anderson pointed out this house could
be demolished if someone isn't interested in rehabilitating the house.
The second home discussed was the Burke home. On August 17, 1990 this was
advertised in the Valley Daily News with an article entitled "Historic Home
Must Go -Soon". This is located on Central at 21404 East Valley Highway (at
about 216th). Senior Planner Carol Proud added that this is the oldest
standing house left in Kent, built in 1880. This is a piece of property that
is owned and is to be developed by Trammell Crow Co. Since the city does no
CITY COUNCIL PLANNING COMMITTEE
MINUTES OF MEETING OF AUGUST 21, 1990
have any policy about these historic properties, Trammell Crow Co. received
a demolition permit for the home. After contacting Trammell
Crow about this house, they have been incredibly receptive to suggestions in
trying to preserve it.
These two houses led to discussion of potentially placing some kind of
moratorium or limit on destruction or delay of development until the
ordinance is in place. Ms. Anderson asked the committee how interested they
would be in such an ordinance. A resolution would be written and come back
to the Planning Committee. More discussion occurred.
Discussion occurred as to how enforceable the interim ordinance would be.
Attorney Carolyn Lake will look into the issue.
Lauri stated other alternatives. If a house is on the list, perhaps the
Planning department could require the house be advertised before it would be
demolished. Council chairman Jon Johnson added this would perhaps give King
County or the City of Kent an opportunity to purchase the property.
The purpose today was to get the interest and feedback from the committee.
Planning Manager Fred Satterstrom stated that there is something needed in
the code to give it the enforcement necessary. For instance, if there was
nothing to prevent the demolishing of a building, at least there would be
some measure to require them to advertise to give someone an opportunity to
preserve the property.
Councilwoman Leona Orr said she assumes that the ordinance would have some
sort of criteria for the buildings to be put on a list. Therefore, there is
a clear understanding as to why this house or property was considered
historically valuable.
Ms. Lauri Anderson would work with the assistance of Attorney Carolyn Lake
about how we can do this or some kind of mechanisms that would involve
notification, protection and a list of requirements.
It was stated that basically out of the goodness of someone's heart, a
historical piece of property could be saved.
Senior Planner Lauri Anderson spoke specifically about the Burke Home.
Kirk Johnson from Trammell Crow came to the meeting. Trammell Crow had their
demolition permit but have been very receptive to trying to preserve it.
Planning Director Jim Harris and Kirk Johnson are in the process of trying to
negotiate some ways for the house to stay on Trammell Crow's site. They are
talking about moving it potentially to the corner of 218 St. and East Valley
and incorporating into their project.

CITY COUNCIL PLANNING COMMITTEE
MINUTES OF MEETING OF AUGUST 21, 1990
Trammell Crow has also volunteered and has paid for an ad that ran in the
Seattle Times, the Seattle P-I and the Valley Daily News. The house has to
be gone or moved by August 31st because the access way runs right through the
house. Kirk Johnson.stated they have received about 60 calls on the house.
Weyerhaeuser Corporation is interested in moving it to Federal Way to use as
a training facility but the city prefers to keep the house in the city.
Ms. Anderson stated she wants to get a sense from the committee if there is
interest in having us pursue some other alternatives if these alternatives
fall through.
Discussion occurred about what is involved in moving a house considering
costs, traffic lights, possible cracking of the house if going up and down
hills or over railroad tracks. The cost of this moving the house is about
$27,000. An onsite move would cost $15,000. If the house was moved offsite,
it would be $15,000 plus about $8,500 in which $2,500 would be for rerigging
the house when taking the wheels on and off because it has to sit somewhere
for some period of time. Then $3,500 of the $8,500 is for full staff to aid
in the move. Also, an additional $2,500 to lower it to the foundation. If
the foundation is done by the mover, the cost would be $4,600 in addition to
the $15,000 plus $8,500. The house would be left in the rigging and the
foundation is built underneath it and then the house is lowered down onto it
If someone wanted the foundation excavated so it was below grade, this wou._,.
cost $700 more.
Questions were raised if there is money in the budget for the city to move
it. It was noted that the Planning Department has requested money in the
1991 budget to be set aside for historical preservation. It was concluded
that the committee would like to consider all the options available, and
might arrange an emergency meeting, if necessary, for further discussion.
HUMAN SERVICES ROUNDTABLE UPDATE
Senior Planner Lin Ball brought the committee up to date on the Human
Services Roundtable. The King County Council voted at their last meeting to
put a Law, Safety, and Justice measure on the September primary ballot. The
measure requests a .1 percent increase in the sales tax. The King County
Council voted to designate a portion to fund a regional domestic violence
system. Ms. Ball explained that domestic violence has a long history of
impacting police services. She emphasized that this history was important in
adding the domestic violence piece to the measure.
Ms. Ball will be meeting with Chief Frederickson the week of August 27, 1990
to discuss some of his plans for this levy when and if it passes and to
stress the importance of including funding for Domestic Violence.
Chief Frederickson is aware of the regional system for domestic violence.
4
Ms. Ball reported that the total Law, Safety and Justice revenue allocated to
the City of Kent will be about $419,000. Of this total, approximately
" $46,090 will be requested for allocation to the domestic violence program.
ADDED ITEM
REPEAL OF ORDINANCES #2776 AND #2777
Fred explained that approximately two years ago there was a proposal to
rezone a 14 acre piece of property that was then zoned M-2, which is bounded
by the north side of South 262nd, the east side of SR-167, the south side of
the Green River and the west side of the Puget Sound Power and Light Co.
right-of-way. The history of the property is that it had originally been
zoned M-2. The owner at one time had obtained a rezone to MRM in order to
obtain a mobile home park combining district. That approval was obtained,
but the property was not so developed. The mobile home park combining
district approval has lapsed.
The application two years ago requested to have a recreational vehicle park.
The Council passed Ordinances #2776 and #2777 known as the Kantor Rezone and
Kantor Recreational Vehicle Park. There were conditions attached to that
rezone that dealt with Public Works improvements which were all recorded. In
our RV code, it basically says that if you don't do the RV park in one year,
it lapses. Therefore, the Recreational Vehicle Park became null and void.
The property owner would like to sell the land for what the property is now
zoned after the recreational vehicle park has lapsed and that is M-2, Limited
Industrial. Due to the fact these conditions appear when a title search is
done, these conditions tied to the rezone come up and the property owner is
having difficulty selling the property.
Planning Manager Fred Satterstrom explained we are asking that the committee
forward to the Council the repeal of Ordinance #2776 and Ordinance #2777.
There is a letter in the file that says that if these are withdrawn, the
property owner will withdraw the appeal. Councilwoman Leona Orr made the
MOTION, Councilwoman Christi Houser SECONDED it. MOTION carried.

Section 1. Description of Bonds. The total amount of the
assessment roll in Local Improvement District No. 330 created
under Ordinance No. 2866, passed August 1, 1989, was
$4,869,549.16. The thirty -day period for making cash payments

$835,816.81, leaving a balance of assessments unpaid on the
assessment roll of $4,033,732.35. Local Improvement District
No. 330 Bonds (the "Bonds") shall, therefore, be issued in the
total principal amount of $4,033,732.35.
The Bonds shall be dated September 1, 1990, shall mature on
September 1, 2007, and shall be numbered from 1 to 807,
inclusive, in the manner and with any additional designation as

Section 2. Registration and Transfer of Bonds. The Bonds
shall be issued only in registered form as to both principal and
interest and recorded on books or records maintained by the Bond
Registrar (the "Bond Register"). The Bond Register sna11
contain the name and mailing address of the owner of each Bond
and the principal amount and number of each of the Bonds held by
each owner.
Bonds may be transferred only if endorsed in the manner
provided thereon and surrendered to the Bond Registrar. The
transfer of a Bond shall be by the Bond Registrar's receiving
the Bond to be transferred, cancelling it and issuing a new
certificate in the form of the Bonds to the transferee after
registering the name and address of the transferee on the Bond
Register. The new certificate shall bear the same Bond number
=M
as the transferred Bond but may have a different inventory
reference number or control number. Any transfer shall be
without cost to the owner or transferee. The Bond Registrar
shall not be obligated to transfer any Bond during the fifteen
days preceding any principal payment or redemption date.
Section 3. Payment of Bonds. Both principal of and
interest on the Bonds shall be payable solely out of the Local
Improvement Fund, District No. 330 (the "Bond Fund"), created by
Section 7 of Ordinance No. 2866, including the Reserve Account
created therein by Section 4 of this ordinance, and from the
Local Improvement Guaranty Fund of the City. Principal of and
interest on the Bonds shall be payable in lawful money of the
United States of America. Interest on the Bonds shall be paid
by checks or drafts mailed by the Bond Registrar on the interest
payment date to the registered owners at the addresses appearing
on the Bond Register on the fifteenth day of the month preceding
the interest payment date. Principal of the Bonds shall be
payable on presentation and surrender of the Bonds by the
registered owners at either of the principal offices of the Bond
Registrar at the option of the owners.
Section 4. Creation and Application of Reserve Account.
There is created in the Bond Fund an account to be designated
the Reserve Account. There shall be deposited into the Reserve
Account upon the issuance and delivery of the Bonds the amount
of $403,373.23 from Bond proceeds, that amount being ten percent
of the principal amount of the Bonds.
Money on deposit in the Reserve Account may be invested in
United States Treasury Certificates of Indebtedness - State and
Local Government Series ("SLGS"). Investments of money in the
Reserve Account shall mature annually, after the installment
payment period for assessments and prior to the principal and
- 4 -
interest payment date on the Bonds.
Prior to each annual principal and interest payment date on
the Bonds, the City shall withdraw from earnings on the Reserve
Account for deposit into a separate fund or account the amount
it considers necessary to pay any federal tax or rebate
requirement on the Bonds (the "Rebate Amount"). The City does
not anticipate that a separate fund or account for a Rebate
Amount will be necessary since it intends to invest the Reserve
Account in SLGS. All interest earned on investments of money in
the Reserve Account in excess of any Rebate Amount shall be
transferred to the Bond Fund to pay principal of and interest on
the Bonds.
Because the principal amount of the Reserve Account will
equal ten percent of the principal amount of outstanding
assessments, the City intends to bill the owners of property
annually at 90% of the total principal and interest installment
due on their assessments. Following each annual installment
payment date on assessments and on or before each annual
principal and interest payment date on the Bonds, the City shall
withdraw from the Reserve Account an amount equal to:
1. 100% of principal installments on assessments that were
not paid by the annual installment payment date for assessments,
plus
2. 10% of principal installments on assessments that were
paid in amounts billed by the annual installment payment date
for assessments, plus
3. all interest earned on deposits in the Reserve Account,
less
4. 90% of principal installments that were delinquent in
previous years and that have been received by the City within
the last year.
- 5 -
The money so withdrawn shall be transferred to the Bond Fund and
applied by the City to pay principal of and interest on the
Bonds on their annual payment date.
In accordance with RCW 35.51.040, owners of property for
which installment payments of principal of and interest on
assessments are delinquent shall not be credited with
proportionate shares of principal amounts on deposit or with
interest earnings on the Reserve Account when those
delinquencies are paid, and those owners shall be required to
pay an amount equal to (a) the net impact of a 100% billing,
plus (b) interest on their delinquent installment payments at
the rate set forth in Section 15, plus (c) a penalty of 9% as
set forth in Section 3 of Ordinance No. 2925 of the City.
Subsequent payments received from property owners whose previous
installment payments of assessments were delinquent shall be Y
applied first to the penalty, then to the interest on their
assessments, and last to the principal of their assessments.
The City covenants and agrees to apply the Reserve Account
to the payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds as
described herein.
When the Bonds and the corresponding assessments are no
longer outstanding, any balance remaining in the Reserve Account
shall be transferred to the Guaranty Fund.
Section 5. Crediting and Refunds to Owners of Property for
Which Assessments Were Prepaid. $835,816.81 total amount of
assessments in Local Improvement District No. 330 were paid in
cash during the thirty -day period for making those payments
without interest. The owners of the property for which those
assessments were prepaid shall be credited against those
prepayments with, and the City shall refund to them, ten percent
of the principal amount of their prepayments.
- 6 -
Section 6. Finding Regarding Reserve Account. The City
Council finds and determines that the principal amount of Bonds
to be outstanding at any time hereafter shall not exceed the
principal amount of assessments to then be outstanding.
Section 7. Construction Fund• Deposit of Prepaid
Assessments and Bond Proceeds. There previously has been
created within the City the 64th Avenue Construction Fund (LID
No. 330) (the "Construction Fund") for the purpose of paying the
cost and expense of the improvements within Local Improvement
District No. 330. For the purpose of paying part of that cost
and expense, pending the receipt of special assessments and the
proceeds of the issuance and sale of the Bonds, the City has
made interfund loans to the Construction Fund from the General
Fund, the Water Fund and the Sewerage Fund of the City in the
maximum aggregate amount of $670,000 (the "Interfund Loans").
Those Interfund Loans have been repaid from prepaid special
assessments at a variable interest rate , adjusted the first and
fifteenth day of each month, equal to the interest rate of the
State of Washington Local Government Investment Pool on the
first and fifteenth day of each month. The initial interest
rate on the date of each of the Interfund Loans was determined
as of the last preceding interest payment adjustment date. The
City Council ratifies and confirms those Interfund Loans.
The balance of the proceeds of the prepaid special
assessments in Local Improvement District No. 330, after the
repayment of the Interfund Loans as described above and after
the credits and refunds authorized by Section 5 to the owners of
property for which those assessments were prepaid, shall be
deposited in the Construction Fund.
Upon receipt, (a) the accrued interest received on the
Bonds shall be deposited in the Bond Fund, (b) a portion of the
- 7 -
proceeds of the Bonds shall be deposited in the Reserve Account
pursuant to Section 4, and (c) the balance shall be deposited in
the Construction Fund and used to pay the cost and expense of
the improvements within Local Improvement District No. 330 and
the costs of issuance and sale of the Bonds.
Section 8. optional Redemption of Bonds. The City shall
redeem the Bonds prior to their stated maturity date on any
interest payment date, in numerical order, lowest numbers first,
at par plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption,
whenever there is sufficient money in the Bond Fund to pay the
Bonds so called and all earlier numbered Bonds over the above
the amount required for the payment of the interest on all
unpaid Bonds.
All Bonds redeemed under this section shall be cancelled.
Section 9. Notice of Redemption. The City shall cause
notice of any intended redemption of Bonds to be given not less
than 15 nor more than 30 days prior to the date fixed for
redemption by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the
registered owner of any Bond to be redeemed at the address
appearing on the Bond Register at the time the Bond Registrar
prepares the notice, and the requirements of this sentence shall
be deemed to have been fulfilled when notice has been mailed as
so provided, whether or not it is actually received by the owner
of any Bond. Interest on Bonds called for redemption shall
cease to accrue on the date fixed for redemption unless the Bond
or Bonds so called are not redeemed when presented pursuant to
the call. In addition, the redemption notice shall be mailed
within the same period, postage prepaid, to Lehman Brothers
Division of Shearson Lehman Brothers Inc. ("Lehman Brothers") at
its principal office in Seattle, Washington, or its successors,
and to such other persons and with such additional information
- 8 -
as the City Finance Director shall determine, but these
additional mailings shall not be a condition precedent to the
redemption of Bonds.
Section 10. Failure to Redeem Bonds. If any Bond is not
redeemed when properly presented at its maturity or call date,
the City shall be obligated to pay interest on that Bond at the
same rate provided in the Bond from and after its maturity or
call date until that Bond, both principal and interest, is paid
in full or until sufficient money for its payment in full is on
deposit in the Bond Fund and the Bond has been called for
payment by giving notice of that call to the registered owner of
that Bond.
Section 11. Form and Execution of Bonds, The Bonds shall
be printed, lithographed or typed on good bond paper in a form
consistent with the provisions of this ordinance and State law,
shall be signed by the Mayor and the City Clerk, either or both
of whose signatures shall be manual or in facsimile, and the

had continued to be an officer of the City authorized to sign
bonds. Any Bond also may be signed on behalf of the City by any
person who, on the actual date of signing of the Bond, is an
officer of the City authorized to sign bonds, although he or she
did not hold the required office on the date of issuance of the
Bonds.
Section 12. Bond Registrar. The Bond Registrar shall
keep, or cause to be kept, at its principal corporate trust
office sufficient books for the registration and transfer of the
Bonds which shall at all times be open to inspection by the
City. The Bond Registrar is authorized, on behalf of the City,
to authenticate and deliver Bonds transferred in accordance with
the provisions of the Bonds and this ordinance, to serve as the
City's paying agent for the Bonds and to carry out all of the
Bond Registrar's powers and duties under this ordinance and
Ordinance No. 2418 establishing a system of registration of the
City's bonds and obligations.
The Bond Registrar shall be responsible for its
representations contained in the Bond Registrar's Certificate of
Authentication on the Bonds. The Bond Registrar may become the
owner of Bonds with the same rights it would have if it were not
the Bond Registrar and, to the extent permitted by law, may act
- 10 -
as depository for and permit any of its officers or directors to
act as members of, or in any other capacity with respect to, any
committee formed to protect the rights of Bond owners.
Section 13. Bonds Negotiable. The Bonds shall be
negotiable instruments to the extent provided by RCW 62A.8-102
and 62A.8-105.
Section 14, Preservation of Tax Exemption for Interest on
Bonds. The City covenants that it will take all actions
necessary to prevent interest on the Bonds from being included
in gross income for federal income tax purposes, and it will
neither take any action nor make or permit any use of proceeds
of the Bonds or other funds of the City treated as proceeds of
the Bonds at any time during the term of the Bonds which will
cause interest on the Bonds to be included in gross income of
registered owners for federal income tax purposes. The City
also covenants that, if all gross proceeds of the Bonds have not
been spent within certain periods prescribed by the United
States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"),
it will calculate, or cause to be calculated, and rebate to the
United States all earnings from the investment of gross proceeds
of the Bonds that are in excess of the amount that would have
been earned had the yield on those investments been equal to the
yield on the Bonds, plus all income derived from those excess
earnings, to the extent and in the manner required by Section
148 of the Code and applicable regulations. If the City fails
to meet rebate requirements applicable to the Bonds under
Section 148 of the Code, the City covenants that, to the extent
permitted by that Section, it will pay the penalty provided in
Subsection 148(f)(7)(C) if required to prevent interest on the
Bonds from being included in gross income of registered owners
for federal income tax purposes. The City certifies that it has
not been notified of any listing or proposed listing by the
Internal Revenue Service to the effect that it is a bond issuer
whose arbitrage certifications may not be relied upon.
Section 15. Interest Rate on Assessments. The interest
rate on the installments and delinquent payments of the special
assessments in Local Improvement District No. 330 is revised and
fixed at the rate of 7.35% per annum.
Section 16. Approval of Bond Purchase Contract. Lehman
Brothers of Seattle, Washington, has presented a purchase
contract (the "Bond Purchase Contract") to the City offering to
purchase the Bonds under the terms and conditions provided in
the Bond Purchase Contract, which written Bond Purchase Contract
is on file with the City Clerk and is incorporated herein by
this reference. The City Council finds that entering into the
Bond Purchase Contract is in the City's best interest and
therefore accepts the offer contained therein and authorizes its
execution by City officials.
The Bonds will be printed at City expense and will be
delivered to the purchaser in accordance with the Bond Purchase
Contract, with the approving legal opinion of Foster Pepper &
Shefelman, municipal bond counsel of Seattle, Washington,
regarding the Bonds printed on each Bond. Bond counsel shall
not be required to review and shall express no opinion
concerning the completeness or accuracy of any official
statement, offering circular or other sales material issued or
used in connection with the Bonds, and bond counsel's opinion
shall so state.
The City Council has been provided with copies of a
preliminary official statement. dated August 20, 1990 (the
"Preliminary official Statement"), prepared in connection with
the sale of the Bonds. For the sole purpose of the purchaser's
- 12 -
compliance with Securities and Exchange Commission Rule
15c2-12(b)(1), the City "deems final" that Preliminary Official
Statement as of its date, except for the omission of information
as to offering prices, interest rates, selling compensation,
delivery date, rating and other terms of the Bonds dependent on
such matters.
The proper City officials are authorized and directed to do
everything necessary for the prompt delivery of the Bonds to the
purchaser, including without limitation the execution of the
Official Statement on behalf of the City, and for the proper
application and use of the proceeds of the sale thereof.
Section 17. Effective Date. This ordinance shall take
effect and be in force five (5) days from and after its passage,
approval and publication, as provided by law.

TO: MAYOR KELLEHER, COUNCIL PRESIDENT WOODS,
COUNCILMEMBERS WHITE, DOWELL, JOHNSON, HOUSER,

FROM: NORM ANGELO, FIRE CHIEF qjs o,
SUBJECT: RADIO EQUIPMENT BUILDING CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT
---------------------------------------------------------------
INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND
The completion of the West Hill radio transmitter site involves
two (2) distinct construction projects, the fabrication and
erection of the antenna tower, and the development of the site
and construction of the radio equipment building. City Council
awarded a bid to Microflect Company, Inc. on June 19, 1990 for
the tower fabrication and erection.
The development of the site and construction of the radio
equipment building presents some unique construction requirements
w due to the site's proximity to the existing water tank and the
newly constructed fire station, the nature of the specialized
electrical and grounding systems needed for the radio equipment,
and the need to complete the work within a tight time schedule to
meet the overall project schedule. Since the engineering and
architectural estimates of the total cost of the work was below
the $35,000 bidding limit (the estimate was between $28,000 and
$32,000), formal bidding documents were not prepared. Instead,
the Fire Department was worked with previously identified
qualified and known contractors to obtain price quotes for this
work.
It was found that due to the small size of the job, and with the
stringent specifications and time schedule, only two (2)
contractors contacted were prepared to quote the work. Then,
prior to accepting these quotations, one of these contractors
declined to offer a price since they would be unable to meet the
schedule.
Executive Summary to Mayor Kelleher and Councilmembers

RE: Kent Springs Transmission Main Phase I
Bid opening was August 28 with five bids received. Low bid was
submitted by Robison Construction in the amount of $1,056,666.69.
Because the Army Corps of Engineers exercised jurisdiction over a
portion of the previous project design, we rescinded the previous
award and redesigned the project to exclude that portion over which
the Corps had concerns. Construction costs are estimated to be
$1,162,333.36. It is recommended the bid submitted by Robison
Construction be accepted.

Don Wickstrom Carol Morris

Gary Gill Hugh Cropp
Closure Reauests - 45th Place S and S 240th Street
Nizlek commented that both these locations are on the West Hill -
the one on 240th is near the drive-in near Highline Community
College and the other is 45th Place S. off Reith Road. At both
locations, dumping, vagrancy, abandoned vehicles are the problems.
Nizlek continued he is proposing to place a Type III barricade at
each location. The barricade would have a padlock which can be
removed for emergency and maintenance situations. Nizlek referred
to a letter from one of the property owners on 45th requesting we
delay placing that barricade for ninety days as they are in the
process of selling the property. Hugh Cropp was present
representing the condominium association in this area. With
reference to the cost of placing the barricades, Wickstrom
indicated the cost of placing the barricades would probably be
recovered by the reduction in cleanup costs. Mr. Cropp added that
a big problem in the area is drug dealing. White asked if the
property owners could be given a key to allow them access and once
that property is developed, the barricade could be removed. Nizlek
commented that a problem with that is someone removing the lock and
replacing it with another which would preclude emergency access.
Orr asked if the 90 day delay would be a problem. Mr. Cropp stated
he thought they could wait. Orr added we could condition it that
if the property is not sold in 90 days, the barricade would be
placed. Carolyn Lake suggested that an access agreement be
prepared so there is some notice provided in writing to the owner
of the necessity of having it available for emergency access. The
Committee unanimously recommended placing the barricade on S. 240th
immediately, placing the barricade on 45th after a 90 day waiting
period and for an access agreement to be developed for same.
Alley Between Titusville Building and Post Office
Nizlek indicated a notice of the change had been hand delivered to
the merchants in the area and mailed to the property owners of
record. No negative comments were received from the merchants.
There was one complaint from a resident in the apartments about the
noise at night from the mail service. There was a request that
w signs be installed for loading areas. Nizlek stated he would not
recommend doing that at this time. Carol Morris reviewed that when

drafting this ordinance, she found that the City had vacated 8 feet
to the Post Office in 1963. At that time the City had an ownership
interest in the alley itself and was not able to vacate an
easement. Thus, the 1963 ordinance was not effective and the City
should still have ownership of this 8 feet. She suggested the
vacation ordinance be repealed. The Committee unanimously
recommended adoption of the ordinance changing the direction of the
alley to one way southbound and to repeal the 1963 ordinance.
Corridor Funding
Wickstrom indicated the financing plan he prepared for the corridor
project is based on the grants we anticipate receiving. One of the
elements of the plan is a street utility and he is seeking
direction from Council whether or not they are interested in
proceeding with its formation. Wickstrom stated if there is no
interest there would be no reason to pursue the corridor funding.
IBC has proposed an option of implementing the street utility in
conjunction with eliminating the utility tax as a separate item on
the consumers bill and having the utility absorb the tax.
Wickstrom indicated this could result in a utility rate increase.
Another option would be to use CIP funds. White asked what the
ramifications of reworking the CIP would be. McCarthy stated
currently we are spending 60-70% of the CIP on debt service. If
another million were dedicated to road improvements then other
capital projects currently in the five year plan would probably be
deferred quite a few years. Wickstrom stated when he developed his
proposed financing plan he tried to put it together independent of
existing capital improvement program. There are still a lot of
other capital needs other than the corridors. White asked how our
utility rates compared to other cities. Wickstrom stated the water
rates are probably in the upper 90% but we have not had a rate
increase since 1984. Sewer rates are in the 50-75 percentile. We
have not had a sewer rate increase of City fees since 1980. We
have, however, passed along Metro's increases each year. Gill
stated the other water districts and municipalities are slowly
catching up to our water rates. White expressed concern over how
much more we can tax the citizens. McCarthy stated he had spoken
with the Mayor recently on this issue. His position is not to have
a tax increase but he would not be opposed to a revenue neutral
tax. McCarthy continued that what IBC is proposing is some revenue
neutral solution. Currently an average household might have water,
sewer and drainage charges for a year of about $700 with $24 a year
in utility tax. If the utility funds pay the utility tax instead
of the customer, then that relates to a tax savings of $24 a year
for the citizen. Implementing a street utility could assess each

household $2 per month or $24 a year thus creating a revenue
neutral tax assuming we did not need to raise the utility rates to
cover the utility funds paying the tax. McCarthy emphasized that
they have not had an opportuity to study the utility rate issue
sufficiently at this point to be able to determine if a rate
increase would be necessary. While large companies such as Boeing
would be paying a pretty hefty street utility fee, McCarthy stated
it is his understanding that Boeing wrote the legislation. They
are concerned that the businesses and the households pay the same.
White stated he felt that discussion of this should take place with
the whole council in a workshop setting and give notice to the
major employers of what we are discussing. White added that this
may be time to consider a change in priorities on the corridor
projects and give the 196th higher priority since there is a window
for applying for State funding. Dowell asked if SCATBD were
approved would the citizens be paying twice. Wickstrom stated they
would be paying for different projects and SCATBD would only be
able to raise money by a voter approved issue. The SCATBD is
probably two years from that point and there is still a legal issue
relating to the ability to tax. Carolyn Lake asked if it would be
beneficial to our TIB funding applications to have a Resolution
stating Council intends to hold a workshop to discuss the utility.
Wickstrom responded that TIB requires us to certify the balance of
the project funds within a year of application. We will not make
application until we at least have a Council resolution of intent
to proceed with formation of the utility. White asked for an
estimate of what the homeowner would be looking at as opposed to
the business community. Wickstrom stated that the same $2 the
street utility can assess can be used for mass transit type
facilities and can preempt the City from its use. If Metro
implements its mass transit program, we will have to credit the
businesses what they pay Metro. Another option available to Metro
is a sales tax. The Committee asked this be brought before a
workshop as quickly as possible. Chow stated they are considering
the workshop for September 4 for this issue.
Other Items
White stated he has been approached by one or two merchants
regarding parking limits on Meeker. He has asked them to put
together a letter for this Committee.
White stated some of the neighbors are concerned about the debris
on the property at the end of Gowe where the "Job Corps" office is.
Carolyn Lake stated that Carol Proud of the Planning Department is
working on that as a code enforcement issue. White asked that she

contact some of the neighbors to let them know we are working on
the problem.
Another area is south of Willis between Railroad and South Central.
There is an open field behind the restaurant and cars travel back
and forth creating a dust problem. He questioned what Committee
should deal with the issue.
White stated he has noted that the budget requests the last two
years have included an item for bottled water for City Hall. He
was questioning whether there is a problem with the City's water
supply. Wickstrom stated it is not the water supply but a matter
of internal plumbing of the building. Our water does affect
galvanized pipes and if these pipes are old the water can be
affected. Galvanized pipes are not used in current construction
techniques. Wickstrom added we are addressing the pH in our new
treatment facility for the 212th Street well.
Kensington Avenue Storm
Wickstrom stated we have requested proposals for this small storm
drainage improvement project. Wickstrom explained this project is
to address the flooding problem we had on Kensington near
Farrington Court. The water overtopped the drainage channel and
flooded a residence. Scoccolo Construction submitted the low bid of
$14,098.94. In order to be able to move along on this Wickstrom
stated he would like to take the award to Council as an added item
to the agenda for tonight's meeting. The Committee unanimously
concurred with the request.
Safeco Classic
Gill informed the Committee we had received a request from the
Safeco Classic Committee to allow them to place signs in the right
of way to direct people to the event. We will be working with them
to determine locations.
