PUBLIC (CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 3L) SAFETY West Hill Fire Station and Police Substation. ACCEPTANCE as complete of Construction of the West Hill Fire Station and Police Substation. A constract was signed with John Korsmo Con- struction on June 1 , 1989. After a period of time to correct punch list items, the Fire Department has accepted the project as 100 percent complete. By accepting this item on the consent calendar, the Council will be ac- cepting the project complete as of the date that we have written release by all lien holders of their liens.

APPROVAL of the Fire Resource Mutual Aid Master Agreement. Until now, our automatic and mutual aid agreements with other fire agencies could only be extended within King County by working jointly with the King County Offices of Emer- gency Services and King County Fire Chiefs. It is now possible through RCW 38. 52 to enter into an agreement with Pierce County. Any emer- gency aid sent would be limited by the type of calls/assistance requested for and the Fire Chief would retain final authority on whether or not to send units based on our community ' s needs. 3 - January 2 , 1991 FIRE While there is a potential for overtime costs, staff feels that the overall impact would be minimized by the number of requests. Further, the benefits to this community would far out- weigh any costs or risks. It is anticipated that .in the long-term, there would be a balance of give and take that would satisfy the demand of localized large incidences. PUBLIC WORKS (OTHER BUSINESS - ITEM 4A) Emergency Slide Repair Canyon Drive at 94th Avenue. The Public Works Committee has recom- mended that an emergency be declared to repair the slide that occurred in Mill Creek Canyon adjacent to Canyon Drive in the vicinity of 94th Avenue. The cost of the repairs is es- timated to be $100, 000 which will be taken from the Unemcumbered Funds of the Sewerage Utility. Because of the emergent nature of the issue and the recent disruption of City business due to •the weather, this has not been to Operations Committee for their review. WHITE MOVED that the repair of the slide on Canyon Road at 94th be declared an emergency, that a budget be established for the project and that $100, 000 be transferred from the Unemcumbered balance of the Sewerage Utility. Houser seconded and the motion carried. ENTRY SIGNS (OTHER BUSINESS - ITEM 4B) Entry Signs. The Public Works Committee has recommended approval of the design for entry signs to be placed at major arterials coming into the City. Public Works Director Wickstrom presented the design to the Council and noted that the design was developed by Ed Olson of the Public Works Department. Olson thanked Dea Drake of the Graphics Department for her help on the project. WHITE MOVED for approval of the design and in- stallation of the signs. Houser seconded and the motion carried.

AUTHORIZATION for the Mayor to sign the .Interlocal Cooperative Agreement with King County for use of conserva- tion future funds.

ZONING CODE (PUBLIC HEARINGS - ITEM 2A) AMENDMENT - Group Homes. On October 2, 1990 the City Council GROUP HOMES held a public meeting to consider the recommenda- tions by the Planning Commission concerning zoning code changes for group homes . The City Council adopted the. recommendations by the Planning Commission on proposed zoning changes for Class I and II Group Homes but deleted the reference to Class III (which was sent back to the Planning Committee for further consideration) . Ordinances have been prepared to include the proposed amendments to Class I and II Group Homes as previously adopted and proposed zoning changes for Class III group homes as recommended by the Planning Committee. City Attorney Lubovich noted that in researching this issue, the Law Department determined the definitions of Group Homes I, II, and III needed to be rewritten in order to comply with the Fair Housing Act. He noted the modifications are in- cluded in the ordinances. These modifications include placing recovering alcoholics, or those formerly addicted to legal or illegal drugs, in Group I, and requiring registration as a condi- tion on a conditional use permit for Groups II and III. Harris noted this would put more pre- dictability into the group homes issue. Lubovich noted for Woods and White that this proposal provides more control and stronger restrictions than those which currently exist. Upon Dowell ' s question, Janet Shull of the Planning Department noted that up to six un- related people are. considered a family and more than six 'would be a group home. She added that up to 10 could be sited in a single-family zone, without the city being aware of it. She further explained that the Planning Commission based the number of residents on the size of 5 - January 2, 1991 ZONING CODE existing housing stock available in Kent and AMENDMENT - the underlying zoning. Upon White ' s question GROUP HOMES about parking, she stated the city cannot pre- clude anyone from siting in a residential zone if they meet the definition of Class I , which means they are protected by Federal law. Laurie Anderson of the Planning Department explained that the city would not change parking requirements for ten related individuals in a single-family home, and, therefore, could not change it for Class I either. Dowell opined that 10 residents is too many, and that 6 would be more realistic. Upon Mann' s question, Lubovich stated the City is not mandated to have an ordinance covering group homes, but without one all group homes would have to go through the conditional use process, and the code could not be enforced. There were no further questions and Woods de- clared the public hearing open. She explained for Don Knapp that there are currently no ap- plications for group homes in the city. There were no further comments from the audience and ORR MOVED to close the public hearing. Johnson seconded and the motion carried. Lubovich advised that each ordinance should be considered separately and JOHNSON MOVED to adopt Ordinance 2957. Orr seconded. Lubovich explained this ordinance deals with registration of group homes, which is subject to the condi- tional use permit process. Carol Morris added that the parking would be addressed during that process, and cautioned the Council against changing the number of residents allowed. Lubovich pointed out that if Ordinance 2958 is not passed, there is no point in passing this registration ordinance. ORR MOVED to defer action on Ordinance 2957 until Ordinance 2958 has been considered. Houser seconded and the motion carried. JOHNSON MOVED to adopt Ordinance 2958. Houser seconded. Mann stated that passing this ordi- nance is a serious threat to the safety of Kent' s citizens. He said the Class III group homes should not be allowed in the community, and urged the Council not to pass the ordinance. Houser stated that this ordinance will protect the citizens, and that laws should be in place before an application is received. An exchange between Dowell and Johnson resulted in reducing the number of residents in Class I-A from a maximum of 10 to a maximum of 7 , and reducing the number of residents in Class I-B from a 6 _ January 2, 1991 ZONING CODE maximum of 14 to a maximum of 10. Johnson' s AMENDMENT - motion to adopt Ordinance 2958 was restated GROUP HOMES using the above figures . The motion carried with the chair not voting and Mann voting against the motion. Mayor Pro Tem Woods then noted that action on Ordinance 2957 has been deferred. Johnson' s motion to adopt Ordinance 2957 then carried with Mann voting nay. Woods commended all who worked on this issue, including the Planning . Commission, the Planning Committee, the Planning Department, and the Legal Department. FUEL CONTRACT (OTHER BUSINESS - ITEM 4C) Fuel Contract. Quotations were recently soli- cited from several vendors for the purchase of gasoline, diesel, and propane for 1991 . Staff recommends that the Mayor be authorized to sign contracts with Associated Petroleum and Suburban Propane. Finance Director McCarthy noted that the total contract value is $199, 401 , which is within the budget of $221 , 000 . He noted that the con- tracts are based upon increases to the suppliers and that as suppliers get increases or decreases , those increases or decreases will be passed on to the city. He noted for Dowell that the figures are based upon the average gallonage of each type of fuel. HOUSER THEN MOVED to authorize the Mayor to sign contracts with Associated Petroleum and Suburban Propane. White seconded and the motion carried. LIBRARY BOARD (CONSENT CALENDAR • - ITEM 3C) Library Board Appointment. CONFIRMATION of the Mayor ' s appointment of Raul Ramos to the Library Board replacing Sally Hopkins whose term has expired. This appointment will begin immediately and continue through March, 1995 . FINANCE (CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 3B) Approval of Bills.

Council President Woods noted that the Council, as well as department heads, will meet with the Warner Group on January 14, 15 and 16 to discuss the management study. She asked Councilmembers to contact Administration to set up appointments. She also noted that Suburban Cities will meet in Tukwila on January 10, and asked Councilmembers to let Administration know if they will attend the meeting. (REPORTS - ITEM 7C) Public Works Committee. White noted that he had recently attended the National League of Cities meeting and submitted resolutions and reports of the various committees. He requested that City Administrator Chow bring the policy on parking to the next Council meeting. White noted that he is concerned about the number of city vehicles parked in the City Hall lot. Assistant•City Administrator Hansen noted that he had spoken with Finance Director McCarthy re- garding the meter readers vehicles, and that those vehicles will now park on the street.

CITY COUNCIL ACTION: Councilmember moves, Councilmember seconds DISCUSSION• ACTION• Council Agenda Item No. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY JANUARY 8 , 1991 TO: CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS: JUDY WOODS, JON JOHNSON, JIM WHITE, PAUL MANN, CHRISTI HOUSER, STEVE DOWELL, LEONA ORR FROM: NORM ANGELO, FIRE CHIEF SUBJECT: SOLE VENDOR AUTHORIZATION ----------------------------------------------------------------- Background: The 1991 Budget has identified $35, 000 to maintain minimal reserve hose that is required by the Survey and Rating Bureau. Also these monies are identified to replace hose at the end of it's 20 year life span. The risk of potential hose failure makes this replacement mandatory for safety requirements. The amount of funds involved usually dictates that it is spent through the bid process. There is only one vendor in the Western United States that can supply the hose that meets the Kent Fire Department's needs. This makes the bid process redundant. The Kent Fire Department uses natural "N-Dural' and "Triple Duty" hose. "Triple Duty" is the only 3 1/2" diameter, double jacketed hose that is rated for attack pressures, manufactured in the United States. "N-Dural' is a heavy duty interior attack hose that has a proven use history in our Department of over 8 years. Given the rigorous demands of interior attack hose and knowing that a failure of an interior hose line may result in Firefighter injury or death, we have specified a higher standard. L. N. Curtis is the only vendor for National hose in the Western United States. Recommendation: That L. N. Curtis be approved as the sole vendor for this hose purchase. Significance: This action will save city resources and valuable time by not going through the bid process for this safety emergency equipment. Budget Impact: None. The funds for this purchase are identified in the 1991 Budget. pf Custom Manufacturers of Municipal and Industrial Fire Hose - NATIONA I. — t c u� � ` FIR,F HVSE CORE U �1J November 29, 1990 Mr. Ken Weatherall King County Fire District #37 20676 72nd Ave. South Kent,. Wa. - 98032 Dear Chief Weatherall, Several years ago National Fire Hose Corp. entered into written agreements with several municipal distributors to stock and sell its "branded" products throughout the country. The written agreement covers its "branded" products; "N-Dura" , "Dura-Pak" , "Triple Duty" , "Dura-Cron" and "Flomaster" fire hose. The L.N. Curtis & Sons Co. has its headquarters in Oakland, Ca. with branch offices in Seattle, Wa. and Salt Lake City, Ut. with warehouses in all locations. They were selected as our exclusive distributor for the states of California, Utah, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Idaho and portions of Wyoming and Montana. The decision to establish the L.N. Curtis organization as our exclusive distributor was based on the following reasons . The number of outside salesmen covering their respective territories , their committment to stock large quantities of fire hose and their overall financial strength. These factors make the L.N. Curtis Co. the strongest and most reliable stocking fire hose distributor for the fire service on the west coast. If I can be of any additional assistance in clarifying this exclusive arrangement with the L.N. Curtis & Sons Co. please let me know.

Consistent with Section 14 of the Growth Management Act, the Technical Forums, Planning Directors Association, and the various jurisdictions will establish procedures for disseminating information, involving citizens and interest groups, and considering alternatives. these procedures will be identified in a detailed scope of work developed for each technical forum. RESOURCE AND CRITICAL LANDS TECHNICAL FORUM BACKGROUND: SHB 2929 requires that King County, and each city within King County, designate natural resource lands and critical areas within their respective jurisdictions . The County and each city must then adopt development regulations to assure the conservation of resource lands, and to preclude land uses or development that is incompatible with critical areas. These actions must be completed by September 1, 1991. OBJECTIVE: To facilitate and coordinate the designation and regulation of natural resource lands and critical areas by Kinr County and each city within King County, as required by Sections 6 and 17 , SHB 2929 . ACTIONS: King County and the cities of King County will establish and participate in a Resource and Critical Lands Technical Forum charged with carrying out this objective. The Technical Forum will undertake the following activities: 1. Seek consensus on a common or compatible approach to the criteria for designation and regulation of both natural resource lands and critical areas. 2 . Coordinate designation, mapping and other issues relating to the political boundaries between jurisdictions . 3 . Exchange ideas, experiences and expertise and relating to the designation and regulation of natural resource lands and critical areas. 4 . Explore the joint use of consultants, data and other resources among jurisdictions. 5 . Coordinate with the designation and regulation efforts of Snohomish and Pierce Counties . 6 . Periodically brief elected officials through establishe intergovernmental forums . "Attachment All Continued/Page 2 PRODUCT: Each jurisdiction will adopt regulations which product a coordinated and compatible system of natural resource lands and critical areas throughout King County by September 1, 1991. URBAN GROWTH AREAS DESIGNATION BACKGROUND: SHB 2929 requires that by July 1, 1991, King County begin consulting with each city regarding the location of an Urban Growth Area. Urban Growth Areas must include areas and densities sufficient to permit the urban growth that is projected to occur in King County over a twenty year period. Due to the complexity of urban growth issues, ongoing planning efforts and other consideration, it is imperative that the County and Cities begin work on growth areas immediately. A cooperative effort will ensure that the legitimate interests of all jurisdictions are considered in the ultimate designations. OBJECTIVE; To foster inter-jurisdictional cooperation and provide an accurate information base upon which King County Urban Growth Area decisions will be made. ACTIONS: The urban/rural boundary of the King County Comprehensive Plan, together with the land use, development and urban service policies of the County and cities, will provide the basis upon which Urban Growth Area decisions will be made. The first step toward making these decisions will be to determine the growth capacity of the county and cities, based on existing plans and policies and on criteria established for urban Growth Areas. King County and the cities of King County will: 1. Establish and participate in an Urban Growth Area Technical Forum, which will seek consensus on criteria, methodologies and format to be used by the County and each city to estimate their population and employment growth capacities . 2 . Each city and the County will estimate their own capacities for population and employment growth, based upon a. ) local plans and policies and b. ) consistent with agreed to criteria, methodologies and format. 3 . The Urban Growth Area Technical Forum will compile the capacity estimates prepared by King County jurisdictions for purposes of evaluating the countywide Urban Growth Area. 4 . As a second priority, the Urban Growth Area Technical Forum will take initial steps toward delineation of Urban Growth Areas. This effort will be undertaken in light of SHB 2929 ' s recognition that cities are the appropriate providers of urban government services. This effort will also recognize and support King County' s ongoing efforts Y. "Attachment A" Continued/Page 3 to refine the existing urban/rural boundary through the adoption and updating of Community Plans. Initial steps will include: a. Seeking consensus on criteria to guide decisions on the future boundaries of King County' s cities. Decision-making criteria should include such issues as development densities, efficient urban services provision and timing of , annexation. b. Identifying and mapping agreed-to Urban Growth Areas and areas where there is not agreement. C. Identifying key elements of a process for achieving agreement on Urban Growth Areas. d. King County will work directly with cities in establishing Urban Growth Areas according to the following sequence: 1) Cities in areas of Community Planning projects in progress and cities near or bordering rural areas/unincorporated areas; and 2) cities in western King County urban area, not near rura. designation areas or not bordering-- unincorporated areas. PRODUCTS: 1. Estimate of countywide population and employment growth capacity, based on existing plans and policies by July 1, 1991. 2 . Process for delineating and agreeing to Urban Growth Areas, by July 1, 1991 . 3 . Map (s) identifying agreed-to Urban Growth Areas and highlighting areas where there is not agreement, by September 11 1991. 4 . Urban Growth Area designations by end of 1991. KING COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN REGIONAL GOALS CHAPTER BACKGROUND: The current King County Comprehensive plan was adopted in 1985 . King County has recently initiated a major review of that plan, and has taken steps to solicit the active involvement of all local jurisdictions. This involvement is especially important in light of the coordination and consistency requirements of SH 2929 . "Attachment All Continued/Page 4 OBJECTIVE: To promote coordination and consistency between the King - County Comprehensive Plan and the planning of other King county local jurisdictions through the King County Comprehensive Plan review process. ACTIONS: The Resolution of the Suburban Cities Association of King County Regarding Priorities of the 1990 review of the King County Comprehensive Plan (adopted May 9 , 1990, will provide the starting point for a joint effort to review, maintain and strengthen the regional policies of the 1985 King County Comprehensive Plan. King County will continue to actively involve cities in the review and refinement of goals and policies having regional import. The cities will actively participate in the Comprehensive Plan Review, through the King County Suburban Cities Association and, where appropriate, through direct involvement and discussions with the County. At a minimum, each city will be responsible for identifying any conflict or inconsistency between their own plans and policies, and any proposed regional policies for King County. Cities should also make suggestions for resolving any such conflict or inconsistency. PRODUCTS: Adopt updated, strengthened and coordinated regional goals and policies for the King County Comprehensive Plan and City Comprehensive Plans by the end of 1991. GROWTH MANAGEMENT DATA SHARING GROUP BACKGROUND: Successful implementation of SHB 2929 will depend upon a high level of cooperation and coordination among local jurisdictions. Such coordination is currently hampered by a lack of comparable land use and development data from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. OBJECTIVE: To share land use and development data and work toward common methods of compiling and reporting information. ACTIVITIES: First year activities will involve consultation between the cities and the County on standardization of references. PRODUCTS : 1. Identify and compare data collection and tabulation systems used by each jurisdiction, by July 1, 1991. 2 . Identify common data needs by July 1, 1991. 3 . Agree to a common format for collecting and tabulating common data needs by September 1, 1991. "Attachment A" Continued/Page 5 WORK PROGRAMS FOR INDIVIDUAL KING COUNTY JURISDICTIONS Each adopting jurisdiction is to provide a paragraph describing an individual multi-year work program designed to implement SHB 2929 . The focus of the work program should be on activities to be completed July ' 1, 1990 to July 1, 1991 with highlights for the years 1992 , 1993 , 1994 . Milestones and timelines are the two key words in completing this requirement as they will be used as the basis for measuring progress and disbursing funds during this first year. I i 5• ay.+ Mi.

The Solid Waste ,�� `Interlocal Forum and the Eastside Transportation Forum are two _`.. _ 'examples of effective regional problem solving groups in this area. ` Building on the success of these and other groups, the County' s general purpose governments have been discussing the creation of a more formal COUNTYWIDE PLANNING COUNCIL "to assure coordination, consensus, consistency and compliance" among local governments as they implement the Growth management Act and adopt comprehensive planning policies to be applied countywide. Decisions on the formation of a countywide planning council and other strategies for local coordination and cooperation are anticipated during Fall 1990 and Winter 1991. In the interim, the general purpose governments in this county have agreed to designate the King County Planning Directors Association • as an appropriate forum for discussing issues, exchanging information, promoting standardization and consistency, encouraging cooperation and providing technical assistance. The directors have been functioning in this capacity for several years with - considerable success. The group meets regularly each month, attracts planning directors from City of Seattle, King County, and from most of the suburban cities and small towns in the county. : JW) Kent City Council Meeting Date January 15, 1991 Category Consent Calendar DONATION ORDINANCE 7_donat��s —g As discussed with the Operati ns Committee�a�t -t�-heir January 8 committee meetin ,- doption of Ordinancese�ab-TisEing aprocedureforaccepting The ordinance was prepared to provide a vehicle for City acceptance of donations and to provide some guidance for individuals making donations to the City{ 3 .

The collection agency proposal calls for paying $8.45 per account for which Transworld System, Inc. would write a series of collection letters prior to initiating more stringent collection efforts at a negotiated amount per account between 35 and 50 percent. The Finance staff and the IBC feel this proposal will establish a more consistent City accounts receivable collection effort. 3 .

A) They extend credit or accept checks. B) A portion of the accounts thus created become delinquent. t Q They employ, for the most part, effective and sophisticated in-house collection procedures to recover these receivables. D) In spite of their best efforts, a significant part of the past due i receivables are not collected. i i E)• Previously, as a last resort, they eventually assigned these accounts to collection agencies at exorbitant rates. F) Now, they have ' an incomparably better option—they all use Transworld Systems. WHAT DO WE DO FOR THEM? First, we recover more of their delinquent receivables than they can obtain by any other means, either continued in-house effort or the utilization of a conventional collection agency. Second, we collect their money faster, dramatically accelerating,their cash flow. Third, we do. this without charging a percentage, only a small fixed fee—currently averaging $6.75* per account submitted—regardless of the amount or location of the account. Finally, with proper application of our system, we save them 30% to 70% of their in-house billing and .collection costs., *Average System HOW CAN WE DO THIS FOR YOU?

You choose the intensity of the demand and the time interval be- tween contacts; you maintain full control of the process at all times. C) We offer you a complete follow-through on those accounts that do not respond to the system. These hard core debtors may, at your option, be transferred to Credit Management Services, a TSI Divi- sion, for personal contact on a contingency basis. If legal action* is warranted, CMS will cause suit to be filed and advance all attorney fees and court costs. If CMS does not collect, you owe us nothing. WHAT ARE THE RESULTS OF USING OUR SYSTEM? ---AND HOW DOES THIS COMPARE WITH THE CONVENTIONAL COLLECTION AGENCY? 56% TSI-Current national 'recovery, average-56% Conventional agency-27% 27% (According to the latest in- dustry statistics, the national average recovery of all collec- tion agencies surveyed) 'TSI others 41% TSI-Current average cost. of collection-7% (Our fixed fee, expressed as a percentage) 7% Conventional agency-41% TSI others In fact, last year we collected over. $2,50,000,000—Twice as much money—four times faster—and at a small fraction of the average fee charged by the thousands of conventional collection agencies: an average of 7 cents on the dollar! WHY ARE THE RESULTS OF OUR SYSTEM SO VASTLY SUPERIOR? First, it is important to understand why any collection agency can collect money that continued in-house effort will not recover; in the collection industry it's called "third party intervention," and it consists of 3 elements: 1) Intensified demand. Debtors believe agencies have resources beyond those available to other companies. 2) Implied effect on credit standing. Third party involvement implies credit rating may suffer. 3)Negative image of the agency. Collection agencies are perceived as relentless and' utterly serious about collecting money. WHY CAN'T CONVENTIONAL AGENCIES COLLECT MORE MONEY THAN THEY DO? Primarily, because they charge too much to induce early placement; as a result they get the accounts too late—at an average aging of 8 months—when collect- ability has deteriorated nearly 80%. Here is what happens to the accounts: a 80% % Collect- 60% ability 50% 40% 30% 20% Aging, 60 Days 90 120 i50 180 210 • 240 As collection statistics bear out, there is a direct relationship between the age of receivables and their deterioration in collectability, at'the average rate of ten cents per dollar per month. Moreover, the commission rate charged and the size of account also affect col lectability. Agencies that are paid a percentage of what they collect, work large balances diligently, but small balances (those under $100) are often worked indifferently, if at all. WHY, THEN, DO WE DO In fact from an accounting view- SO MUCH BETTER? point, there is no cost for our ser- vices, since our small flat fee— averaging First, why do we collect more $6.75 per account—is money? normally fully offset by your savings Because, since we do not charge a in internal billing and collection percentage, our clients assign ac- cost. counts.to us as soon as possible— on average, 120 days—when the ac- WHAT IS THE REAL counts are still highly collectable.

Are the results satisfactory? So far this year, out of the 254 account slots purchased, we have submitted 66 accounts for collection. 24 have been paid in full, 3 paetial payments are received and 5 suspended services. The collection status report includes the number of skips and mail returns, names and balances of the accounts and the percent of amount collected to date compared with amount collected. - Our current:rate;.is•fl 6.5%. Of course, we would like to see 100% of our submitted accounts collected. At present we have 4704 recovery rate. It is still more than we would have been able to collect on our own. Is the system complex? No. An account representative is assigned and is available if there are any questions. The status report is easy to compare to our own record of accounts. Does it require a lot of time from our department to implement and maintain? No. The system is well established and works, into.our .regular..cour,t..procedures very well.. Do we have any problems with Transworld Systems? No. They are very helpful and very well organized. In summary, the collection of ourstanding accounts is an involved unpopular business.

DISCUSSION• ACTION•�"�1 O Council Agenda Item No. 4AA MINUTES FROM PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE MEETING DECEMBER 41 1990 PRESENT: Paul Mann Dennis Byerly Leona Orr Roger Lubovich John Bond Jill Vanneman Ed White Lyle Price Don Wickstrom Numerous Citizens CITIZEN PETITION FOR CROSSWALK AND/OR SIGNAL AT 259TH & CENTRAL Paul Mann introduced Liz Lindgren who has been spearheading the move for the crosswalk or signal at 259th and Central and invited her to speak to the Committee. Lindgren presented the petition to the Committee and then introduced herself, indicating that she has been a resident of the City of Kent for almost 20 years, she is retired and an senior citizen. Lindgren indicated that they are having a very serious problem at the intersection of 259th and Central Avenue, which is the Pay-n-Pak intersection, known as the Old River Road. Lindgren explained that one of Pay-n-Pak' s employees was seriously injured entering Central Avenue after work. The City gave little, if any response. The City said that they are planning to put a signal at the intersection of Central Avenue and 259th Street in approximately two years . Lindgren explained that they cannot wait that long. Lindgren further explained that during the peak traffic times this whole area is very dangerous and the construction of the bridge to Auburn has backed up traffic which has made 259th going an east an alternate route to Auburn and a real speedway. Lindgren indicated that just getting out of her own driveway is very difficult. Lindgren stated that the Kent Corrections Facility enters Central Avenue just south of the intersection and many times when the road looks clear to pull out the cars coming from the Facility suddenly appear. Lindgren explained that she was almost caught between a police car and a car coming across the intersection one day and it was very scary. Lindgren further stated that to cross Central on foot from the bus stop is a real thrill. Lindgren went on to share some of comments she received from one of the City' s Traffic Engineers such as signal lights do not prevent accidents, if the bus stop is a problem call the bus company and have it changed, a light will not slow the traffic on Central MINUTES FROM PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE MEETING December 4, 1990 Page 2 Avenue, etc. Lindgren stated that she had called asking for the number of accidents at this intersection and as of October 25th there were three. When she called on December 2nd to receive a current count for accidents in 1990 she was told one, but when she spoke of two very recent accidents since the time she had called on the 25th and the reply was changed to four. Lindgren went on to say that the recent flooding has further complicated the situation. Lindgren stated that no provisions were made for the added vehicle and/or pedestrian traffic when the Planning Commission approved the construction of two large apartment units on 259th in the past five years. Lindgren stated businesses in the area are very supportive and express their feeling that the light is very long overdue. Lindgren stated that they respectfully asked for the Committee ' s review and the City' s consideration to these problems. Mann thanked Ms. Lindgren and asked if there were any questions . Leona Orr stated that the only question she had is what can we do. Mann stated that he felt they should address the issue of the kind of responses that Lindgren got from the engineer and asked Don Wickstrom if he had anything with regard to the responses that Lindgren received and also where they were at with regard to the traffic light. Don Wickstrom indicated that he had not been aware of the kind of response that Lindgren had received. Wickstrom indicated that as far as the traffic light is concerned, the problem is the money. This is just one of many that are in need of signalization. Wickstrom indicated that they have $200, 000 in one budget to try to address various safety concerns such as this issue in various locations throughout the City, but this was not budgeted so the question is how do you fund it whether it' s a signal or whatever. But again, there are so many needs relating to pedestrians, vehicle movement, etc. and there 's not enough money to address them all . Wickstrom further talked of having Council look at allocating specific funds associated with pedestrian needs. Mann asked Wickstrom if there was $200, 000 set aside in this coming budget for traffic lights. Wickstrom indicated that they had requested $200, 000 for miscellaneous types of improvements. Mann asked how much was actually given for this and Wickstrom indicated MINUTES FROM PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE MEETING December 4 , 1990 Page 3 that they didn't get anything. Wickstrom indicated that they could look and see what kind of financial participation they could get from the community surrounding the area in order to cut the burden, but indicated that there was no easy answer. Orr asked if there were any commitments made by the two large apartment complexes that had been built in the area. Wickstrom indicated that they would have to go back and look at that. Ed White passed out a packet which contains a synopsis of what the existing conditions are on Central Avenue and 259th at the present time and reviewed through the information contained in the synopsis and pointed out on the map the various areas of concern. (See synopsis for details. ) White indicated that what they would like to do is provide something that they can get the maximum enforceability on and that is a reasonable cost and that corrects the problem and probably the signal in this area would be the best solution that they could find. Dennis Byerly indicated that he didn't think anybody with the Police Department is going to dispute the need. Byerly also indicated that he felt that signalization would take care of pedestrians and traffic both, he would not suggest a temporary solution. Byerly asked Wickstrom if there was any sort of prioritization in terms of these different intersections. Wickstrom indicated that there is a list of intersections which have high accidents, but how do you want to compare them. White indicated that there is the six year CIP which includes all of the road improvement projects and this intersection . is on it, but it is proposed for the 4th, 5th, and 6th year. Mann asked if the Committee could vote to move that up on the agenda. Mann further stated that he felt that this and the James Street situation are both issues that need to be pushed up and set as a priority. In light of the other developments going on that were previously mentioned, Mann stated that he feel there are some things perhaps that criteria does not address. Mann stated that right now the only way to get across if for people to simply run and try to beat the traffic and that can't go on, they can't let that continue. Al Varney stated that the need has just recently gone up with the Health Department now in on the east side of Central. Varney indicated that he is the individual that came before the City Council and asked if they'd look into the possibility of a crosswalk because more than once he had to go out and help people MINUTES FROM PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE MEETING December 4 , 1990 Page 4 in wheelchairs get across to the Aukeen Court and as mentioned before, you have to run for it. Varney indicated that he has a selfish interest in this issue as he has a handicapped son that works for him and it is necessary for Varney to go and get him because it is unsafe for him to get off the bus and cross Central. Varney further talked about the excessive speed in the area and the accident rate. Varney finished by indicating he felt that $130, 000 or whatever is cheap in comparison to a life. Byerly indicated that the reason he mentioned what he did is because he feels that everyone agrees that there' s a need. If we don't start something now, we know that we ' ll have something that will cause us to be back here again next month, next year, or whatever. Orr stated that she agrees with Mann ' s suggestion in looking at prioritizing this and getting it moved to the top of the list. Orr further stated that she is very familiar with the area and would never think of going there during peak hours of traffic and in her opinion, a crosswalk would be a death trap. Orr again stated that she thinks this needs to get moved up on the list somehow, so that they don't have to wait two years or three or four to get something done. Mann thanked Ms. Lindgren for coming and for bringing the signatures. He also apologized-on behalf of the City if Lindgren was offended by the remarks made by a City employee. Paul Mann asked for a motion to move these issues up in priority. Motion by Leona Orr, seconded by Paul Mann. Motion passed unanimously. Mann clarified that the issues being requested to be moved up are James Street and Central Avenue at 259th. Discussion on the various problems of the area continued briefly. Paul Mann introduced Brenda Bohrer, a licensed massage practioner. Because meeting time was running out, Ms. Bohrer briefly explained that she would like to have the ordinance relating to massage looked at and revised so that she would be able to practice her profession legally. Mann asked that the City Attorney' s office look into the issue and provide any input regarding this at the January 15, 1991 meeting, which would be the next meeting Ms. Bohrer would be able to attend. Meeting adjourned. COLLEEN WOODWORTH James Street Concerned itizens Committee 615 N. Jason • Kent, Washington 98031 • 851-1317 November 20, 1990 RECE , vED Jim White JAN 8 City Council Member CITY ADha�n�r�r1991 City of Kent TION 220 - 4th Avenue South Kent, Washington 98032-5995 Dear Mr. White: At our James Street Concerned Citizens meeting on November 1, 1990, we discussed the problems faced daily by those of us living on or near James Street. There is a large amount of pedestrian traffic on James hill. There are seniors crossing to and from the Senior Center, junior high children crossing to and from school, the general public crossing to and from to enjoy our beautiful Kent parts, and people who commute by bus cross to and from work. Hardly a week goes by that there is not an accident on James somewhere between 94th and Central Avenue. In most cases, these cars end up in yards or on the sidewalk. People crossing James have been hit by cars. One such crossing resulted in the death of a young child. We, the James Street Concerned Citizens Committee, feel there is a great need for a pedestrian overpass on the lower part of James Street, school zone reduced speed limit signs with enforcement, and sidewalk pedestrian protection barriers in accident-prone areas. We would like to present this petition signed by area residents affected by this problem. We hope you will look at this problem and consider our request for the above safety measures on James Street. Help us keep Kent citizens and their children safe. Sincerely, Colleen Woodworth Committee Co-Chairman James Street Concerned Citizens Committee COLLEEN & JACK R. WOODWORTH 615 N. Jason • Kent, Washington 98031 • 851-1317 November 20, 1990 Jim White City Council Member City of Kent 220 - 4th Avenue South Kent, Washington 98032-5995 Dear Mr. White: In regards 'to our conversation on November 1, 1990, at the James Street Committee meeting, I would like to request two safety signs for Jason Avenue. These signs could be pedestrian, children at play, bus stop, slow, or whatever you think would be suitable for this problem. Due to increased traffic on James Street and Smith Street, and the light at Smith Street and Jason Avenue, everyone uses Jason Avenue as a thoroughfare, disregarding the 25 MPH speed limit. Our neighborhood children have to cross Jason Avenue twice daily to and from the bus stop. We do not have sidewalks on the northwest side of Jason Avenue. There is a wide median, however people park their cars in this median, not leaving room for the children to safely walk around them. Therefore, our children must cross Jason Avenue to catch the bus. In the past two years, if I as a parent had not been at the bus stop, two children would have been hit by cars on Jason Avenue. know this is not a cure for all of the problems, but I feel it will at least be a step in the right direction. If it makes a few people slow down and think, it will be worth the price of two signs. Please help keep our children safe -- they are our future. Sin ere y, C leen Woodworth Jack R.

RE: Cross Walk at Aukeen Dist Court A traffic signal is warranted at 259th and Central . It has been put into the Trans. Improvement Plan which was approved by Council last night. Funding would have to come from Fed Aid or some other source and amounts to $130, 000 or so. We show it in. the TIP out in the 4th, 5th or 6th year. Should 272nd go through before that time, additional difficulty in crossing should be expected. Relative to accident rates, there is not an existing problem but this is most likely due to the fact that it IS extremely unsafe to attempt to cross at this location as well as to get out from 259th. If the item is to be shifted in priority, it would have to be taken through PWC and back to Coouncil, I believe. Then funding competion will be the issue. If federal funds are to be sough-r' we would have to start the process and it may take several years. Faster methods include LIDs and/or conditioning new development. Use of TIB funds for such a small project is not recommended. A crosswalk outside of/south of the intersection should not be con- sidered for the reasons given in the past. A marked crosswalk induces a lack of alertness on the part of the pedestrian -- esp. the elderly. Of course, it would be marked at the signal discussed above. Other: we have done a gap study to look at waiting times for peds. I won't relate facts here but be aware it is available. End of Item 401. CONTINUED COMMUNICATIONS A. PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE RECEIVED DECEMBER 18 , 1990 JAN 8 1991 CITY ADMINISTRATION TONY MCCARTHY PRESENT: JIMLEO WHITE ORR RUTH GIBBS STEVE DOWELL LINDA AMBER TEVE OW DON WICKSTROM JAMES E. MAYS GARY GILL GREGORY P. KITZ ED CHOW SANDY SHERIDAN TOM BRUBAKER MR. AND MRS . JIM RUST CAROL MORRIS JACK COSBY ED WHITE LYLE PRICE JOHN BOND Request for Signs Jason Avenue Ed White showed the Committee a sign reading "Residential Street" which he is suggesting be placed on the west side of Jason for the southbound traffic. There is a 25 MPH sign on the north end of Jason and there is a No Heavy Truck" sign. On the south end there is a similar 25 MPH sign, No Truck" sign and a "No Turnaround" sign. White stated that since the area is becoming saturated with signs, he is proposing to place these "Residential Street" signs above the 25 MPH sign. White stated this sign could also be used in other neighborhoods if they are experiencing .similar problems. While no formal Council action was necessary, the Committee supported the 'Department' s proposed action. James Street Overpass Request Ms. Gibbs distributed copies of a report she has prepared for the Committee summarizing the comments received from citizens who reside in the area. She reviewed the material for the Committee. She included a suggestion of placing jersey barriers along the north side of the James between the street and the sidewalk to protect the pedestrians. White read a memo from Councilman Paul Mann, chair of Public Safety committee, asking for the safety of the citizens in Kent to be upgraded to a top priority specifically addressing the issues of James Street and S . 259th and Central . White commented that Council could possibly adopt a resolution signaling Council ' s intent to upgrade these projects in the CIP. Ed White summarized that James Street carries approximately 25, 000 vehicles per day with accidents occurring more at intersections than mid-block. Mid-block accidents that have occurred were in the vicinity of the Church of the Nazarene and in the vicinity of Fred Meyer. Speed studies revealed the 85th percentile speed was 43 MPH. Staff did not have time to do an origin and destination study; however, White stated he felt most Of the vehicles were going on through rather than local destinations . Orr asked about the possibility of increasing the number of left turn pockets or Public Works Committee December 18 , 1990 Page 2 eliminating left turn possibilities. Jim White asked also about widening James Street. Wickstrom stated that some of the problems being experienced are symptoms . of the growth of the Soos Creek Plateau. Implementing the 224th/228th Corridor will relieve James of a lot of traffic. John Bond suggested that a speed enforcement officer be added to staff and paid from the income from citations. The Committee suggested that this idea be explored further. It was determined that staff would review various recommendations and bring this back to the Committee in 1-2 months. Jim White asked that we place the radar unit that displays the speeds on James Street. Ms. Sheridan volunteered the use of her yard to place the unit. 272nd/277th Corridor Wickstrom informed the Committee that the County had recently approved a motion (copy attached) requiring .the - Public Works Department to complete an analysis whether the 272nd/277th corridor is needed and prioritize the projects. Additionally, the motion called for Kent to defer finalization of our EIS until the County ' s traffic data was developed and for a Citizen' s Participation Committee to be formed. Wickstrom continued that the County will be using the same consultant we are using to develop our EIS . Thus, he has directed the consultant to upgrade our traffic modeling effort with more current data and land use information. This will assure that our EIS and the County' s report will have consistent data. We would anticipate being able to publish our EIS in May. By the County Council ' s action, they want to take over the lead on implementation of the 272nd/277th corridor. Wickstrom stated, as such, this could delay the project until the year 2000 . This could .change once County Council is brought up to date on the requirements of the Growth Management legislation. Wickstrom reviewed for the Committee .a proposed area of annexation for which the City has commitments for approximately 73% of the assessed value. Jim White asked if we moved ahead with the annexation could the City say that we would not extend utilities any further outside the City limits without those properties annexing. Wickstrom .continued that if the Committee wished to pursue the annexation scenario, he would like to look at the City' s entire east side water/sewer franchise areas to determine the number of covenants we have and the possible annexation boundaries available to the City. Jim White stated that if the area were annexed the people would then be able to have input to the Council about the corridor. Carol Morris stated that the Growth Management Act precludes us . from annexing properties outside our boundaries except those that are in delegated growth areas. The County designates the growth areas. Wickstrom stated that the County is looking at their urban MINUTES FROM PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE MEETING DECEMBER 18, 1990 PRESENT: Paul Mann Norm Angelo Leona Orr Mary Berg Steve Dowell Tom Brubaker Dennis Byerly Tony McCarthy Ed Chow 1991 FIRE LIFE/SAFETY INSPECTION PROGRAM Assistant Chief Mary Berg explained that current fire permits are issued with an equal number per month to aid the clerical staff. Next year they are going to a computer program and they want to match the permit issuance month with the inspection date. The only negative aspect is that someone may have just paid for their 1990 renewal permit and feel as if they are being billed again. A letter will be included in the several cases this applies to in order to explain .the new process. This is for your information in case you receive any questions. Chief Dennis Byerly asked if this will then be the continuing process and was assured that this would be a one-time happening. ACCEPTANCE OF WEST HILL SUB-STATION AND FIRE STATION Chief Norm Angelo stated that there were two contracts let on the West Hill Fire Station/Police Substation, first one being land preparation and the second one being actual construction of the facility. Last month the land preparation phase was satisfied so the. committee was asked to put the acceptance of this project on the consent calendar. On the second part, the person contracted to build the station has finally completed discrepancies except for clearing the liens on the property. Chief Angelo asked the committee to place this on the consent calendar with the acceptance being dated upon the receipt of written notification that the liens have been satisfied. When the State and the Department of Labor & Industry regulations are met, the retainage will be released to the contractor. It was moved and seconded to place both parts on the consent calendar. Motion carried. FIRE RESOURCE MUTUAL AID MASTER AGREEMENT Chief Angelo explained that currently in we havea Mutual Aid agreement with other fire districts in King County only.
