TO: Mayor Kelleher

FROM: Don Wickstrom IU 1 I
RE: LID 339 - Hilltop Avenue Sanitary Sewer
900 Feet to 1400 Feet North of James St.
Resolution No. 1274 adopted by City Council on March 19, 1991
established April 16, 1991 for the public hearing on L.I.D. 339.
All of this was the result of a petition received in October 1990
and subsequent contact with property owners which indicated
sufficient support.

PROJECT FUNDING
This project is proposed to be 100% LID financed. The estimated
cost is $69,531.80. There are 10 lots included; therefore, the
assessment per lot is $6,953.18. The cost is greater than usual
for this type of LID for single lots. The reason is that there are
certain fixed LID costs which are spread over only 10 homeowners in
this case, thereby raising the individual lot assessments in
comparison to larger LIDS. Construction costs for a small project
can also be greater. However, it appears that the timing for this
project, if approved, will be such that the construction will be
implemented as part of a larger sewer construction contract to help
minimize costs.
METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
Each property serviced is being assessed. Since each lot is a
single family residential lot each receiving one service, the
benefit is equal for all parcels. Therefore, the cost is evenly
spread over all lots within the LID.
PAYMENT OF ASSESSMENT
Upon Council passing the ordinance confirming the final assessment
roll (after completion of the construction), there is a 30-day
period in which any portion or all of the assessment can be paid
without interest charges. After the 30-day period, the balance is
paid over a ten year period wherein each year's payment is 1/10th
of the principal plus interest on the unpaid balance. The interest
will be what the market dictates.
NEED FOR IMPROVEMENT
The property location is a developed residential area composed of
single family lots on septic tanks. Until recently, the project
area did not have sewer service available on a gravity basis.
However, several years ago a developer extension was brought to the
north end of the area providing a feasible opportunity for gravity
sewer service. However, it was not until the Fall of 1990 that the
property owners within the proposed LID came to the City to request
sanitary sewers. Septic systems are now showing signs of failure.
One owner has had his system examined by a septic expert and was
told that it probably would not last much longer. Others are also
experiencing signs of malfunctioning septic systems. Some owners
attribute this to the increased storm water runoff which is being
dumped onto their property from the new developments above,
particularly, Lavender Hills Subdivision. Since this development
was constructed, there is much more storm runoff which is
saturating the soils resulting in reduced functioning of the septic
systems. Surface erosion is also occurring. In fact, one of the
more severely impacted properties is suffering due to a berm
constructed along the west side of Lavender Hills, which funnels
the runoff directly into their backyard. This same owner has also
been told that his basement walls are starting to suffer from the
excess water. There is also a report that one residence
experienced 3 inches of water in the basement this past winter.
There seems to be substantial agreement among the owners regarding
the need for drainage improvements in the area and that sewers may
not be needed if the runoff had not increased. However, some are
also concerned about the health hazards associated with failing
septic system contaminating the runoff and the fear of not being
able to live in their homes. Therefore, they requested the
installation of sanitary sewers.
Knowing the severity of the problem, property owners within the
proposed LID came to the City to request sanitary sewers. The
Engineering Department requested that a petition be circulated. A
petition for sewers was received with sufficient signatures to
proceed with the formation process.

out of 10 property owners (50.0%)
with the LID formation, which is
allow the LID formation.
Generally speaking, for two otherwise identical properties, the one
with sewer would have a higher value or potential sale price.
There are several reasons for this. With sewer in place, the cost
of the sewer installation has been addressed so the potential of a
future expense of installing sewers has been eliminated. Another
way of looking at it is the sewer is another improvement to the
property which adds to the overall value, as would be the case with
the addition of a room, a fireplace or paved driveway or any other
improvement.
Why is it an improvement or benefit if the property has a working
septic system? The main consideration in this regard is the
history of the general area. If numerous septic problems have
occurred and numerous problems exist, it is more difficult to sell
a property for a given price. With a history of problems, even
though a given septic system is still functioning, there would be
a concern over how much longer it will function. Also, problems at
a particular location can cause sewage and the related odors to
appear on another property which would be a deterrent to a sale.
So even though a residence has a functioning septic system, the
installation of sanitary sewer will boost or protect the property
value and potential sale price particularly in an area such as the
proposed LID area where numerous septic problems have occurred.
MANDATORY SEWER CONNECTION
The City code states that all residences whether within or outside
the City limits, located within 200 feet of a City of Kent sanitary
sewer shall be required to connect to the sewer and shall be billed
for the service.
The code provides that compliance with this provision be within 90
days after the date of official. notice to do so. In the case of a
public health or safety hazard compliance shall be within 20 days
of official notification.
Following construction of the project, should the LID be formed,
the City will send each property owner an official notice that the
sanitary sewer service is available and is within 200 feet of the
house. Following the compliance period, all properties which have
not applied for a side sewer permit will automatically be added to
the sewer billing list.

SEPA
The Planning Director has determined that this project is
categorically exempt since the sewer pipe size is 8" or less.

Employee of the Month. The Mayor announced that
Mike Pulliam, Field Supervisor of Vegetation for
the Public Works Department, has been selected as
Employee of the Month for April. He noted that in
addition to his regular job responsibilities, Mike
assists with numerous tasks to be completed at the
Saturday Market. Tim Heydon, Public Works Opera-
tions Manager, noted that Mike is very concerned
with the environment and takes that into consider-
ation in his work. He stated that Mike takes
pride in his work and the results can be seen in
downtown Kent.

Approval of Minutes. APPROVAL of the minutes of
the regular Council meeting of March 19, 1991.
STREETS (PUBLIC HEARINGS - ITEM 2D)
LID 336 - East Valley Highway Improvements. This
date has been set for the public hearing on the
formation of LID 336. The City Clerk has given
the proper legal notification. Public Works Di-
rector Wickstrom noted that the City has received
a grant from the Transportation Improvement Board
for these improvements, and pointed out the loca-
tion. He noted that this will complete the five
lane arterial between S. 192nd and S. 180th, and
will include curb and gutter, concrete sidewalks,
a two-way left turn lane, street lighting, and
street trees. He noted that the total project
cost is $3,530,637 and that the assessments will
be paid over a 15-year period. He stated that the
1

STREETS City hopes to begin the project in June and com-
(LID 336-EVH) plete it in the fall.
The Mayor declared the public hearing open.
Harlan Bull, 20601 - 100th Avenue, noted that al-
though he is in favor of the project, he is con-
cerned about the distribution of costs. Sam Huff-
man of Green River Cheese indicated that he is
also in favor of the project, but feels that the
City's and State's portion of the assessment
should be higher, since East Valley Highway is
used not only by the businesses in the area, but
for through traffic. He also asked for assurance
that the businesses in the area will be able to
continue operation during construction. Upon a
question from Joe O'Leary, Wickstrom noted that
the City compensates property owners for landscap=
ing, that the power will be underground and that
owners will have to convert their own services,
and that during construction there may be detour
routes or one-way traffic through the area. He
noted that the traffic issue has not yet been re-
solved. Wickstrom noted for Woods and White that
the City could put up signs indicating that the
businesses in the area are open during construc-
tion.
Wickstrom noted for White that the amount of the
assessments could be reviewed during the final as-
sessment roll process, and pointed out that front-
ing property owners do have immediate amenities
which properties in the back do not have. He ex-
plained for Mann that together the City and the
State will contribute $1,250,000 on this project,
which is much more than on other projects in the
City.
There were no further comments and WHITE MOVED to
close the public hearing. Woods seconded and the
motion carried. WHITE MOVED that the memorandum
from the Public Works Director be made a part of
the record and that Ordinance 2977 forming LID 336
be adopted and that the budget for same be estab-
lished as detailed in the IBC note. Woods second-
ed. The motion carried.

April 2, 1991
SEWERS (PUBLIC HEARINGS - ITEM 2E)
(LID 338) LID 338 - Westview Terrace Sanitary Sewers. This
date has been set for the public hearing on the
formation of LID 338. The City Clerk has given
the proper legal notification to the property own-
ers. Public Works Director Wickstrom noted that
this LID is in the County and was heard on Febru-
ary 5, 1991, as LID 337. He noted that property
owners have asked the Council to reconsider this
as a new LID. A gentleman from the audience noted
that he had repaired his septic problems and did
not feel he should be required to pay a monthly
service charge.
The Mayor declared the public hearing open. Wick-
strom noted for John Chapman, 2459 S. 216th, Des
Moines, that sewers will be available for hookup
immediately after construction, which should be by
the end of the summer. Jim Humenik, 21312 - 98th
Avenue South, noted that his system is working and
he feels he should not have to pay $6500 for some-
thing he doesn't need, or a monthly service
charge. He also noted that this property value
will not be increased. After Wickstrom answered
questions for Margie Gifford, 9601 S. 216th, re-
garding easements on her property, she stated that
although she and her husband were originally op-
posed to the sewers, they are now in favor. Lee
Williams spoke in opposition to the LID, and noted
that Randi and Scott Gobeille, 21434 - 98th Avenue
S., are also opposed. Those who spoke in favor
were Larry Kirchner of the Seattle -King County
Health Department, Rolly Topping, 21416 - 96th S.,
Harriet Ragsdale, 21412 - 98th Avenue S., Kathryn
Scholl, 9639 S. 216th, Alan Clifford, 21404 - 96th
Avenue S., George Hoffman, 21415 - 98th Avenue S.,
Ed & Fay White, 21426 - 96th Avenue S., Tom Apple-
hans, 21440 - 98th Avenue S., Keith Henderson,
21433 - 96th Avenue S., and Gordon Campbell,21423-
98th Avenue So. Gladys Pfaff, 9634 S. 214th, was
in favor and spoke for Grace Smith, 9612 S. 214th,
Debbie Reuhl, 9625 S. 214th, and Grace Johnson,
9622 S. 214th who were also in favor. Dwight
Davis; 21417 - 96th Avenue S., noted that he,
Frank and Brenda Chamblis, 21334 - 96th Avenue S.,
and Steve Julison, 9608 S. 216th, were all in fa-
vor. Upon a question from Jan Winkel, 9631 S.
216th, Wickstrom noted that double hookups are a
3
April 2, 1991
SEWERS way to cut the cost to homeowners. He also noted
(LID 338) that once the City advises homeowners that sani-
tary sewers are available, they are required to
connect. He pointed out that the City does not
pursue this, but that the County may. Upon a
question from the audience, the Mayor noted that
this policy could be changed by Council action,
and Councilmember White stated that the Public
Works Committee will look into this issue. Paul
Vaulkee, 21405 - 98th Avenue S., spoke in favor of
the project, and Wickstrom explained for him that
the City's only jurisdiction is for sewer service,
since this area is outside the city limits, and
that roads and drainage are the County's responsi-
bility. Wickstrom noted that the City has the
only sewer system available to service the area.
Kathryn Scholl asked whether by signing up for
sewer, property owners would automatically agree
to annexation to the City. Wickstrom responded
that in order to service outside the city limits,
the Boundary Review Board requires annexation of
the area or execution of covenants to annex in the
future. The Mayor clarified for Margie Gifford
that after annexation the City would administer
surface water management, but until annexation
they are out of the City's jurisdiction. There
were no further comments from the audience and
WHITE MOVED to close the public hearing. Woods
seconded. WHITE MOVED to make a letter in oppo-
sition to the project from Gene C. and Jenny K.
Hughes, 9623 S. 216th, a part of the -record.
Woods seconded and the motion carried. The motion
to close the public hearing then carried.
WHITE MOVED that the memorandum from the Public
Works Director be made a part of the record and
that the City Attorney be directed to prepare the
ordinance forming LID 338 for Westview Terrace
Sanitary Sewers. Woods seconded and the motion
carried.
(CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 3E)
Federal Wav Sewer District Agreement. AUTHORIZA-
TION for the Mayor to sign the sewer service a-
greement to allow Federal Way to provide sewer
service to property in the vicinity of 272nd and
42nd Avenue South, as recommended by the Public
Works Committee.

CONDITIONAL (PUBLIC HEARINGS - ITEM 2C)
USE - APPEAL Puget Power Substation Appeal. This public hear-
ing will consider an appeal by Puget Sound Power
and Light Company from the Hearing Examiner's rec-
ommendation of approval with seven (7) conditions
of a request for a conditional use permit to con-
struct a 16,000 square foot electrical distribu-
tion substation. The applicant requested reconsi-
deration of two of those conditions: (1) Condi-
tion 5 related to noise reduction and (2) Condi-
tion 6 related to limits on electromagnetic field
exposure. After reconsideration, the Hearing Ex-
aminer's decision of August 29, 1990 remained the
same. The applicant is appealing these two condi-
tions.
Alice Shobe of the Planning Department noted that
the site is 4.29 acres in size and is located at
the corner of S. 272nd and 42nd Avenue. She noted
that the area is zoned R-1.72 which is residen-
tial, and that substations are allowed in a resi-
dential zone with a conditional use permit.
The Mayor declared the public hearing open. Mark
uehrn, Attorney for Puget Power, noted that the
substation will comprise only 35% of the site, and
that there is a buffer of approximately 300 feet.
He also stated that there are many of these sub-
stations in residential areas and that the power
coming into the substation is transformed down to
a voltage appropriate for distribution and con-
sumption in the immediate vicinity. He noted that
Puget Power intends to install a low noise trans-
former at the substation and that the noise level
of the transformer would not be discernable over
the background noise level in the area, and there-
fore the noise wall is unnecessary. He also
pointed out that many studies have been done, and
none have concluded that magnetic fields are a
probable carcinogen. He noted that the Hearing
Examiner determined that the level of electromag-
netic field shall not exceed 20 milligauss at the
property line of the site, and that that precludes
Puget Power from building the project. He urged
the Council to delete the two conditions. Craig
Brown disagreed with Quehrn's statements and urged
the Council to reject the request to delete the
two conditions. Eric Kormandy stated that Winter-
5
April 2, 1991
CONDITIONAL brook II, a 12-lot plat, is going in near the sub -
USE - APPEAL station and he would like to have the sound wall
(Puget Power) around the power station to mitigate the sound and
the appearance. There were no further comments
from the audience and WHITE MOVED to close the
public hearing. Woods seconded and the motion
carried.
Upon Johnson's question, Quehrn noted that al-
though the substation works harder in the winter
than in the summer, the noise level ranges only
about 3 decibels, and that the human ear cannot
perceive that slight a difference. He noted for
Mann that there is no technology available to con-
tain electromagnetic fields, and that if a wall is
required, the cost would be passed along to the
ratepayers. He explained that the transformer
will be fenced and will be out of sight, and that
the site will be densely landscaped. Quehrn noted
for White that they do not normally build concrete
walls around transformers, but use low -noise
transformers instead. Johnson asked how close the
transformer would be to the nearest residence.
Quehrn responded that it would be approximately
150' to the west, 200' to the south, 192' to the
east and 377' to the north.
JOHNSON MOVED to modify the Hearing Examiner's
recommendation to approve the appeal made by Puget
Power on Condition 6, to adopt the Hearing Exami-
ner's findings for the remaining six conditions,
and to direct the City Attorney to prepare the
necessary resolution. Woods seconded. Johnson
clarified for White that his intention is that the
concrete wall be built. The motion then carried.
COMMUNITY (PUBLIC HEARINGS - ITEM 2A)
DEVELOPMENT 1991 CDBG Local Program Policies Amendment. This
BLOCK GRANT public hearing will consider the approval of the
proposed Amendment to the Local Program Policies
for the 1991 Kent Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) Program as recommended by the Coun-
cil's Planning Committee. This proposed Amendment
includes eliminating all priority emphasis "given
to the Neighborhood Strategic Area (NSA).
Alice Shobe of the Planning Department noted that
the Home Repair Program is the only program which
0
April 2, 1991
COMMUNITY uses the NSA to give priority. She noted that
DEVELOPMENT there are families outside the NSA who are equally
BLOCK GRANT needy, and urged the Council to eliminate any spe-
cific emphasis on the Neighborhood Strategic Area
by amending the Housing Section of the 1991 Local
Program Policies to read:
Housing
Projects will be encouraged which lead toward pre-
servation or expansion of housing occupied by low -
and -moderate income residents of Kent. While the
City's current Housing Repair Program and assis-
tance to emergency and transitional housing pro-
grams should be continued, new methods of meeting
housing needs may also be considered.
The Mayor declared the public hearing open. There
were no comments from the audience and WOODS MOVED
to close the public hearing. White seconded and
the motion carried. JOHNSON MOVED to accept the
Council Planning Committee's recommendation of the
proposed Amendment to the Local Program Policies
for the 1991 Kent CDBG Program. Mann seconded and
the motion carried.
(PUBLIC HEARINGS - ITEM 2B)
1992 CDBG Funding and Local Program Policies.
This public hearing will consider five action
items which include the adoption of the Local Pro-
gram policies for the 1992 Kent Community Develop-
ment Block Grant Program (CDBG) as recommended by
the Council's Planning Committee and by the Human
Services Commission. The estimated amount of
funds available for the 1992 Program is $183,146.
Alice Shobe of the Planning Department explained
the five action items as follows:
1. Approval by City Council to accept 1992
Pass-Through,funds.
2. Allocation of the City's fair share maxi-
mum of 1992 Pass -Through funds ($35,743) to
Public (Human) Services.
3. Allocation of .005% ($916) of 1992 Pass -
Through funds to Planning and Administration.

DEVELOPMENT gram Policies.
BLOCK GRANT
5. Allocation of Community Development Inter-
im Loan (CDIL) program income ($9,597) to the
Consortiumwide Emergency Shelter System.
She noted that there are two changes from the 1991
Policy. One change is the elimination of the
Neighborhood Strategic Area, an area which was
given priority for block grant funds in the past
because it was determined to have the highest con-
centration of low income families. She noted that
there are needy families outside this area, and
that this one area should no longer be emphasized.
Shobe noted that the second change in policy is
expanded emphasis on regional projects.
The Mayor declared the public hearing open. There
were no comments from the audience and WHITE MOVED
to close the public hearing. Woods seconded and
the motion carried. JOHNSON MOVED to accept the
five action items as recommended by the Council's
Planning Committee. White seconded and the motion
carried.
FRANCHISE (OTHER BUSINESS - ITEM 4A)
Olympic Pipeline Franchise. Pursuant to RCW
35A.47.040, this is the second reading of an ordi-
nance granting Olympic Pipeline Company a ten year
franchise agreement to operate and maintain an ex-
isting pipeline in City rights -of -way. This a-
greement was introduced at the March 19, 1991
Council meeting. Since the first reading, modifi-
cation to the agreement has been proposed by the
Fire Department, as set forth in Page 9 of the do-
cument, requiring immediate notification of acci-
dents and related incidents as well as providing
for a 24 hour telephone number of such notifica-
tion.
WHITE MOVED for the adoption of Ordinance 2978
granting Olympic Pipeline Company the franchise
agreement for ten years to maintain, operate, re-
place and repair an existing pipeline. Woods sec-
onded and the motion carried.

which authorizes execution of an interlocal agree-
ment creating the Puget Sound Regional Council.
This agreement provides for regional transporta-
tion planning in accordance with,Federal and State
law and replaces those functions currently per-
formed under the interlocal agreement establishing
the Puget Sound Council of Governments, which ter-
minates July, 1991. HE MOVED for the adoption of
Resolution 1280. White seconded and pointed out
that this provides only for transportation plan-
ning. Upon the Mayor's question, Johnson explain-
ed that in order to meet Federal and State guide-
lines for grant application processing, the agree-
ment must be approved by April 12, 1991. The mo-
tion then carried.
PARKS & (CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 3C)
RECREATION Golf Cart Acquisition. AUTHORIZATION to acquire
21 power golf carts in lieu of leasing. On Febru-
ary 19, 1991, the City Council authorized the Park
Department to lease an additional 21 power golf
carts. In reviewing the lease agreement the Law
Department noted that substantial financial dis-
closures, similar to that required for bond is-
sues, was required by the Lessor. In addition, it
was determined that the lease interest rate was
approximately 10 percent as compared to current
interfund interest rate of 6.9 percent. Based on
this, the Park Department recommends the direct
acquisition of these 21 power carts in lieu of
leasing. The additional expenditures required for
the outright purchase will come from projected
golf course revenues that are currently exceeding
the estimate.

REPORTS Administrative Reports. Finance Director McCarthy
reported that although the economic picture has
improved a bit, the City is still in a slowdown
regarding capital needs and hiring. He explained
the budget calendar, noting that there will be a
workshop on May 7. He also referred to the C.I.P.
calendar, and noted that departments are currently

REPORTS preparing project descriptions, and that question-
naires will be sent with utility bills. Upon
White's question, McCarthy noted that program ex-
pansion may not be possible in 1992 unless econo-
mic improvement continues. He explained that the
hiring slowdown will save money and that money
could be transferred from capital funds to opera-
ting funds. He also noted for White that cuts and
tax or fee increases are not being considered at
this time, but may be in the future.
McCarthy also noted that Administration has com-
piled a list of options in regard to a Municipal
Court Facility, and that it should be reviewed by
the Public Safety Committee. The Mayor asked
Councilmembers who have other alternatives to add
them to the list as soon as possible.

RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION of the City of Kent,
Washington, issuing Findings of Fact and
Conclusions of the City Council upon hearing
the appeal of Puget Sound Power and Light
Company regarding the City Hearing Examiner's
imposition of certain conditions in connection
with the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit.
WHEREAS, on October 17, 1990, Mr. Theodore P. Hunter,
Land Use Examiner for the City of Kent, issued a Final Order upon
reconsideration approving with conditions a Conditional Use Permit
to Puget Sound Power and Light Company ("Puget Power") for the
construction and maintenance of its proposed Cambridge Substation
(Hearing Examiner's File No. CE-90-8); and
WHEREAS, on October 29, 1990, Puget Power made a timely
appeal of the imposition of Conditions 5 and 6 of the Examiner's
Final Order to this governing body; and
WHEREAS, on March 20, 1991, appellant Puget Power
delivered its Hearing Memorandum on the appeal to the City and
City Council; and
WHEREAS, on April 2, 1991, at a regularly scheduled
meeting, pursuant to City of Kent Ordinance No. 2233, §16, Kent
City Code section 2.54.160, and City of Kent Resolution No. 896,
the Kent City Council heard a staff report on the matter, heard
appellant Puget Power's oral argument and took additional public
testimony on the matter; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to City of Kent Ordinance No. 2233,
§17, Kent City Code section 2.54.170, the City Council, having
reviewed the record and heard the evidence and testimony given at
the hearing on appeal, took final action and entered findings of
fact and conclusions on the appeal; NOW, THEREFORE,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENT, WASHINGTON DOES
HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Upon the written and oral evidence presented
to this body, the City Council finds that material and substantial
evidence was presented to support the Hearing Examiner's decision
to issue Condition No. 5 of the Conditional Use Permit requiring
the construction of a cinder block wall to reduce noise levels
from the substation. Accordingly, this decision does not
constitute substantial error.
Section 2. Upon the written and oral evidence presented
to this body, the City Council finds that insufficient evidence
exists in the record to support the Hearing Examiner's decision to
issue Condition No. 6 of the Conditional Use Permit imposing a
magnetic field standard of 20 milligauss. Accordingly, this
decision constitutes substantial error.
Section 3. The City Council concludes that the Hearing
Examiner's decision regarding the issuance of a Conditional Use
Permit to Puget Power for the construction and maintenance of its
proposed Cambridge substation shall be modified to eliminate
Condition No. 6 pertaining to the imposition of a magnetic field
standard on the substation. The City Council hereby approves the
remainder of the Hearing Examiner's decision regarding the
Conditional Use Permit, specifically including Condition Nos. 1-5
and Condition No. 7.
Passed at a regular meeting of the City Council of the
City of Kent, Washington this day of April, 1991.

)ject: UTILITEC AGREEMENT
C"feator: Tony MCCARTHY / KENT70/FN Dated: 04/02/91 at 1830.
TO: OPERATIONS COMMITTEE
A LOCAL COMPANY, AFFILIATED WITH A NATIONAL FIRM SPECIALIZING IN THE
AUDITING OF UTILITY PAYMENTS MADE BY LARGE COMPANIES, HAS APPROACHED THE
CITY ABOUT AUDITING ITS UTILITY SUPPLIERS. THEY PROPOSE TO DO THE AUDIT
WORK FOR 50% OF ALL RECOVERED OVERCHARGES AND 50% OF FUTURE SAVINGS FOR
A 12 MONTH PERIOD. IN THE EVENT THAT THEY NEITHER RECOVER OVERCHARGES NOR
REDUCE FUTURE BILLINGS, THEY ARE PAID NOTHING.
THE CITY'S ANNUAL ELECTRIC, NATURAL GAS, TELEPHONE, WATER, SEWER, AND
DRAINAGE BILL TOTALS CLOSE TO 2 MILLION A YEAR. THE CITY'S EFFORT IN THE
PROJECT WOULD BE PULLING BILLS FOR THE LAST 12 MONTHS.
BECAUSE THERE IS THE POTENTIAL THAT THE CITY IS PAYING A WRONG UTILITY
TARIFF, BECAUSE PUGET POWER WELCOMES A REVIEW, AND BECAUSE THE CITY
HAS NOTHING TO LOOSE; THE IBC RECOMMENDS A PILOT PROJECT WITH PUGET POWER.

1. SUBJECT: CENTRAL COMPUTER SYSTEM UPGRADE
2. SUMMARY STATEMENT: Adoption of Ordinance,1L authorizing
the purchase of a central computer system upgrade from a
sole -source vendor. Based on continued growth in the number of
system users and software applications, it is necessary to
upgrade the City's central computer system. With the proposed
upgrade, the productivity of 250+ employees and software quality
will improve, as the City's upgraded central computer grows both
in performance and in compatibility with our principal software
vendors computers.
Hewlett-Packard, the City's principal computer hardware vendor,
was selected in a City Council -approved competitive process in
1986. This upgrade represents the first major enhancement of
the "central processing unit" since then. Given that the City's
systems run only on HP, that our experience has been favorable,
lthat the proposed upgrade is available only from HP directly, a
sole -source award is appropriate. Additional funds for software
licensing upgrades, training and consulting are included. Funds
are available for this purpose in 1991 CIP.

three mini -computers and a state of the art communications network. Innovative
information systems solutions have been installed to meet a broad range of city
needs, including financial and administrative, geographic information, public
safety and office support systems. The number of employees now utilizing
automated systems to do their daily jobs has increased from 10 in 1986 to some
250+ in all city departments and facilities. While this rapid growth has
enhanced employee productivity, it has also placed demands on central support
systems and staff. Additionally, it is necessary to upgrade software vendor
licenses to cover necessary services of modifying software to coincide with
current hardware technology. CIP funds have been approved for these purposes
and are available for the proposed central computer upgrade, as outlined below
SOLE SOURCE APPROPRIATE. APPROVED BY CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Selection of the city's principal computer hardware vendor, Hewlett-Packard,
was approved in 1986 by the City Council, following a competitive procurement
process involving dozens of vendors. City software programs which operate on
HP equipment will not operate on non -HP computer equipment. Thus, it is
necessary to upgrade our central computer within available HP equipment options.
HP has announced a new computer, with exceptional price/performance, that offers
a logical upgrade path for the city. This computer, a 3000/958, is so new that
it is not yet available on the used market. Additionally, a prominent local
re -seller of used HP computers has indicated that it is unlikely that they could
compete against the performance of this new computer with their own used and
discounted HP computers. HP's introduction of this new computer includes an
additional discount, available if an order is placed by 4/30/91. The City
Attorney's office has reviewed this situation from a legal perspective and
supports a sole source award. The IBC has reviewed and approved the proposed
upgrade of the central computer system and software licenses.
FUTURE ISSUES
-------------
Approval of the proposed central computer upgrade will promote employee
productivity and continuing quality software products. There will be a
continuing need to provide sufficient data storage devices, printers, memory
and related "computer peripheral items" to coincide with the expected growth
in automated systems, users and volume of data processed. Such requests will
be submitted in conjunction with future CIP and/or operating budgets. In the
event of user demand that significantly exceeds recent levels, such as by
major annexations, demands on central information systems resources could lead
to more than modest computer peripheral additions. An update of the city's
Automation Plan is expected later this year to provide a more complete picture
cf where city information systems are expected to be heading in the future.
Pr^OMMENDATION
That the City Council authorize the Information Services Director to place
orders with Hewlett-Packard and associated software vendors using previously -
approved CIP funds not to exceed $384,210, as outlined on the attached pages.

ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE of the City of Kent,
Washington, authorizing the expenditure of
funds from the City's Capital Improvement
Program for the purchase of components to
upgrade the City's central computer system from
a sole source vendor.
WHEREAS, in 1986, the City Council approved a five-year
Automation Plan, which provided for -multiple City computer
systems, software applications and support programs and, following
a competitive procurement bidding process, selected
Hewlett-Packard as its principal computer hardware vendor; and
WHEREAS, because the City's demands on its central
computer system have increased dramatically, it is now in the
City's best interest to upgrade its central computer hardware
system and to upgrade or modify certain software systems to
coincide with the new hardware system; and
WHEREAS, the City has found the Hewlett-Packard system
be of excellent quality and is therefor entirely satisfied with
that system's previous performance; and
WHEREAS, any change of manufacturers of the City's
hardware system would cause the City to incur significant
additional expense because the City's software programs were
chosen to operate on the Hewlett-Packard hardware system; and
WHEREAS, Hewlett-Packard Corporation is the sole source
vendor from which to purchase the hardware needed to upgrade the
City's computer system; and
WHEREAS, the City may, in accord with RCW 35.23.353 (9),
waive competitive bidding requirements because the purchase of
this hardware system is clearly and legitimately limited to a
single source of supply; and
WHEREAS, the City, if it orders the new hardware system
before April 30, 1991, will receive a significant discount in its
purchase of the Hewlett-Packard computer hardware; NOW THEREFORE,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENT, WASHINGTON DOES
HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. It is in the City's best interest to upgrade
its central computer system using Hewlett-Packard as its principal
vendor because the City is satisfied with its previous experience
with Hewlett-Packard and because changing central computer system
vendors at this time would cause the City to incur significant
incidental expenses.
Section 2. The City recognizes that Hewlett-Packard is
the only practical source for the City's central computer system
upgrade and therefor waives any obligation the City may have to
call for bids for its central computer system upgrade.
Section 3. The City's Information Services Director is
hereby authorized to negotiate with Hewlett-Packard for the
computer hardware, software and training services generally
described in Exhibit A, which is attached hereto and incorporate"
herein by this reference, and to place orders for the products aru
- 2 -
services generally described in Exhibit A by April 30, 1991 in an
amount not to exceed Three Hundred Twenty -Five Thousand
Thirty -Four Dollars ($325,034.00) using approved Capital
Improvement Program funds.
Section 4. The City's Information Services Director is
hereby authorized to negotiate with its associated software
vendors for those upgrades and training services necessarily
related to the central computer system upgrade, which are
generally described in Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated
herein by this reference, and to place orders for the products and
services generally described in Exhibit B in an amount not to
exceed Fifty -Nine Thousand One Hundred Seventy -Six Dollars
($59,176.00) using approved Capital Improvement Program funds.
Section 5. Any acts consistent with the authority and
prior to the effective date of this ordinance are ratified and
confirmed.
Section 6. Effective Date. Pursuant to City of Kent
Ordinance No. 2848, KCC § 1.14.020 (D), this ordinance shall take

RE: Water System Improvements
Four bids were received on March 21 with R.W. Scott Construction
submitting the low bid in the amount of $326,764.
The project provides for miscellaneous process, mechanical,
electrical and instrumentation improvements at.Kent Springs, Clark
Springs, the 114th Avenue Valve Station, Pump Station #4 and Pump
Station #5. Due to the complexity of the project the bids were
higher than anticipated. In addition, because of the staff
shortages in Public Works, it will be necessary to hire a
consultant to provide construction management. These factors
necessitated additional funding for the project. IBC, Public Works
and Operations Committees have approved the transfer of $110,000
from the unencumbered water fund for this project.
It is, therefore, recommended the transfer of $110,000 from the
unencumbered water fund be approved and the contract awarded to
R.W. Scott Construction for the bid amount of $326,764.
BID SUMMARY
R.W. Scott Construction $326,764.00
Seaboard Construction $364,862.30

Approval of Vouchers
All claims for the period ending March 15, 1991 were approved for payment in the amount of
$1,992,453.10.
Golf Cart Lease Vs. Acquisition
Finance Director McCarthy informed the Committee that when the City Attorneys office reviewed the
previously approved lease agreement it was found that, in addition to a higher interest rate than the City
would charge itself, it required unreasonable guarantees and affidavits. The City Attorneys office had made
a counter offer which was not accepted.
After reviewing the 1991 revenue projections which show that additional funds are available, Finance
Director McCarthy asked that the Committee approve purchase of the 21 golf carts requiring an additional
1991 budget of $41,785.
Committeemember Mann noted that a northwest golf magazine had focused on the golf course as the golf
course of the month.
Committeemember Houser asked if this would have any impact on staffing. Finance Director McCarthy
noted that he had been informed by the Parks Department that no additional staff time would be needed.
The golf carts come with a one year warranty. Currently time is required to borrow additional carts for
tournaments etc. which will be saved with the additional golf carts.
Committeemember Mann moved that the funding be approved. Committeemember Johnson seconded the
motion which carried with a vote of 3-0.
Street Utility Staffing
Public Works Director Wickstrom requested that the Committee consider an added item for the funding of
street utility staffing. Public Works Director Wickstrom stated that in order to meet the grant application
deadline of April 12th or have the deadline extended funding for an Engineer I was needed. Upon review
by the IBC and Personnel, he requested the establishment of a budget for the street utility from the
unencumbered street funds in the sum of $101,689 which would include one new position and two
currently vacant general fund positions. These positions would include an Office Tech III, a clerical position
and an Engineer I.
Committeemember Mann made a motion to approve the staffing request which was seconded and carried
with a vote of 3-0.
Financial Update & 1992 Budget Calendar
Finance Director McCarthy asked the Committee if they would prefer to discuss the 1992 budget calendar
now or after his presentation to the Council at the April 9th City Council meeting. After discussion, the
Committee requested it be brought back after the full Council had an opportunity to review it.
Finance Director McCarthy did make a few observations to the Committee on the financial picture. Sales
tax revenues have improved but not enough to remove the slow -down at this time. In addition, building
permits were down 30-40% from last year. A full report will be made at the April 9th Council meeting
under Administrative Reports. The departments should begin the 1992 budget process within the next
month.
Committeemember Mann asked what progress had been made on the golf course audit. Finance Director
McCarthy responded that he had given a draft RFP to Parks Director Wilson who had proposed some
alterations. The details will be worked out within a week or two and the audit should begin in a month
or so.
Committeemember Mann asked if the Management Study will be reviewed by Finance Director McCarthy
for financial impact when it goes to the City Council. Finance Director McCarthy responded that it would
most likely go through the Internal Budget Committee before going to Council. The final recommendations
may or may not have an immediate impact depending on the final recommendations.
After further discussion, Chairperson Houser adjourned the Committee at 5:15 p.m.

SCENIC HILL PARK - MASTER PLAN AND IAC RESOLUTION FOR FUNDING
Helen Wickstrom introduced Colie Hough of Hough Beck and Baird, who
explained that her task was to design the parking stalls to benefit
and function for the park as well as the school. Improvements in
the parking lot include an entrance off of Woodland Way,
sidewalks, striping, paving, lighting for security, and a detention
holding system. Hough announced that the school district has
committed to approximately $100,000 in improvements and has turned
over control of the design to Hough Beck and Baird. Hough
explained that she is proposing a curvilinear design due to a very
valuable growth of trees.
Hough referred to the proposed master plan to show that there will
be a play area, tennis court, and picnic shelter with a restroom on
one side of the parking lot. In another area there will be natural
vegetation with a trail system and more picnic tables scattered
throughout.
White asked how many and what kind of trees are being removed.
Hough responded that there is a mixture of fir and evergreen, and
these are not the largest on site. She said that she tried to save
the most valuable.
In response to Dowell's question, Wickstrom said that the master
plan has been shown at the schools and it did receive the school
district's approval.
White expressed his concern about the neighborhood's reaction to
the plan. Wickstrom suggested that staff could hold a neighborhood
meeting. White commented that he felt this would satisfy the
neighborhood's "need to know."
Parks Committee Minutes
March 20, 1991
Page Two
Wickstrom agreed to postpone the adoption of the master plan until
after the public meeting is held. She requested the adoption of
resolutions authorizing staff to proceed with application to the
Interagency Committee for Outdoor Recreation for funding for Scenic
Hill Park and Riverview Park.
Johnson moved to authorize staff to proceed with the grant
applications. White seconded the motion. The motion passed
unanimously.
Both Dowell and Johnson clarified for Wickstrom that Johnson's
motion also included authorization for the Parks Department to
enter into a cooperative agreement with the school district.
SKATEBOARD FACILITY DISCUSSION
Wilson said that there is a lot of interest in a skateboard
facility and introduced members of the audience who were present
for the skateboard discussion. He explained that the purpose of
the discussion was to get more information and more input from the
public.
Steve Dowell said that Councilman Mann is working on a
skateboarding ordinance which sets out areas in which skateboarding
is prohibited. He said that the safety of those involved is the
first priority and liability is second.
Wilson asked if a facility would be successful in Kent if it were
not under cover. Steven Coutcher named two such facilities in
Vancouver, B.C. and in Cannon Beach which are successful. Coutcher
provided photos of the facility in Cannon Beach.
Wilson also asked if a private facility would be successful. Tom
Sexton answered that liability insurance is not available for
private enterprise. other problems are: having to rent property,
the zoning requirements to build a warehouse, and private
enterprise competition would not really serve public interest.
Dowell was concerned with injuries associated with skateboarding.
Sexton reported that the degree of injuries is the same as with
golf and less risky that those associated with baseball, football
and basketball.
In response to Dowell's question, Sexton explained that skateboard
facilities can't get insurance because skateboarding is a new sport
which has only become popular in the past ten years.
Parks Committee Minutes
March 20, 1991
Page Three
Dowell expressed his concern that if the City has a skateboard
facility, we will be promoting skateboarding in other areas.
Ken Chatwin from Personnel distributed a memo from W.C.I.A.
(attached), listing the W.C.I.A.'s guidelines for a skateboard
park. He explained that the way the W.C.I.A. is set up, if the
City has a big loss, other cities will also be affected/impacted.
Chatwin reported that the W.C.I.A. would prefer to see
skateboarding as a sanctioned, event -type activity, rather than as
a park. He said that W.C.I.A. is not promoting the idea, but
suggested that the City could secure coverage elsewhere.
Chatwin named several reasons why it is difficult for skateboard
facilities to get insurance coverage: lack of facilities, element
of the unknown, and insurance carriers do not. see the sport as
attractive, so they try to discourage it by pricing it out of the
market.
Tom Brubaker reported that there is a Washington statute that
protects public landowners who run or own recreational facilities
without charging a fee. It states that they shall not be liable
for unintentional injuries to users. Brubaker also mentioned an
exclusion: landowners who have known dangerous artificial latent
conditions on the property.
Brubaker added that he could think of one condition that would be
the focus of any claim against the City, and that is design.
In response to White's question, Sexton said that there are no
design standards set up by the Washington Skateboarding
Association.
Wilson asked if the Council is interested in having staff work with
Personnel, Law and experienced skateboarders to pursue this issue.
He stated he would like to use these resources to prepare a better
presentation for the committee.
Dowell asked if Mann's ordinance prohibited skateboarding in
specific posted areas, would the City be responsible if someone is
injured in an area that is not posted. Brubaker answered that
there would be no strong argument. He said that if the Council is
interested, he would like to do additional research with other
Washington cities who are under the same statute.
Parks Committee Minutes
March 20, 1991
Page Four
Bryan Costanich asked what sites the City is considering for a
possible skateboard park. Wilson answered that for an outside
site, he has considered the property north of Uplands Playfield and
east of the Metro Park and Ride Lot. The City leases that property
from the railroad.
Joy Miller commented that as a parent, she would like to encourage
a safe place to skate with safety equipment being required. Her
son was seriously injured while skateboarding in the street.
Barbara Warne said that there is a real need for a place for kids
to go. She has put in asphalt and some ramps in her back yard.
She said that 1,000 kids have visited her facility over time and
she sees 30-50 kids a day.

Thorell explained that the hotel/motel cultural tax fund dollars
issue is a big issue with the state legislature now. She announced
that there is a bill in the House which will go on to the Senate.
The bill would allocate 2% of hotel/motel monies in King County for
cultural facilities.
GOLF COURSE UPDATE
Wilson discussed the financial situation at the golf complex. He
referred to overheads (attached) to show that things are going well
at Riverbend. He reported that the par 3 is up 6.5%; the mini putt
is up 16% and the actual income is up 122%.
In conclusion, Wilson reported that the complex is +$85,000 where
it would have been with the concessionaire.
GOLF CARTS
Wilson requested permission for the golf course to purchase
additional golf carts rather than lease them, as was the original
request. Wilson said that the attorney's office had a problem with
the lease and recommended that the City purchase the carts rather
than lease them.
McCarthy explained that Council granted permission to lease the
carts before the attorneys' office reviewed the lease. The IBC now
recommends purchasing the carts. McCarthy said that the issue will
go to the operations Committee next week.
In response to Dowell's question, McCarthy said that the interest
rate in the lease is 10%, and with the line of credit that the golf
course has with the City, the City would charge 6.9% interest rate,
the same as the state pool rate.
McCarthy explained that financially the golf course is reducing its
line of credit at a pretty good pace. He recommended that the City
spend the additional $40,000 and purchase the lease.
White moved to authorize the golf course to purchase the golf
carts. Johnson seconded the motion. The motion passed
unanimously.
McCarthy announced that he will take the issue to the Operations
Committee.

WARNER GROUP RECOMMENDATION
Wilson said that the survey has been released and that department
staff are studying it. He presented a letter received from
concerned citizens regarding proposed changes to be made in the
Parks Department.
White moved to have copies of the letter forwarded on to full
council. Johnson seconded the motion. The motion passed
unanimously.
SCENIC HILL PARR PLAN
Wickstrom requested that staff be authorized to take the master
plan directly to full Council for appproval if the community makes
minor or no changes to it.
The Parks Committee instructed staff to take the master plan
directly to full Council if minor or no changes are made by the
community.
RIVERBEND FEATURED
Wilson mentioned that Riverbend Golf Course was featured in this
year's publication of Golfing in Washington and also as "Course of
the Month" in Northwest Golf.
DATE CHANGE IN PARRS COMMITTEE MEETINGS
Wilson requested that the committee consider changing the meeting
to a day that will better line up with City Council meetings.
Johnson suggested meeting at an earlier time on the same day as
Operations Committee meetings.
White requested that the date not be changed to an off week, but
rather the same week as Council meetings.
It was decided that the next Parks Committee meeting will be held
on Tuesday, April 23 at 3:45 p.m.
SENIOR CENTER KITCHEN FLOOR
Lea Britting said staff feels that additional consulting is
necessary from the engineering firm to determine the source of the
problem with the Senior Center kitchen floor.
Parks Committee Minutes
March 20, 1991
Page Seven
Brubaker said that he sent a letter to the contractor and the
architect regarding the problems with the Senior Center floor.
Both immediately responded with letters of non liability.
Brubaker reported that unfortunately, information received from the
consultant was not conclusive as to the source of the problem.
Brubaker recommended that the City spend an additional $3,000 for
more thorough consulting, which will involve removing a section of
the floor, to determine what is happening underneath the building.
Once liability is determined, Brubaker said that the City can go
after the appropriate party, and if that doesn't work, the City
will have to enter into arbitration.
White moved to authorize staff to spend an additional $3,000 to pay
for additional consulting. Johnson seconded the motion. The
motion passed unanimously.
PARRS ORDINANCE
The Committee delayed discussion of the Land Dedication Ordinance
until the next Parks Committee meeting.
REQUEST TO TIE YELLOW RIBBONS
Wilson explained that he received a request from Mr. Jim Cordova to
tie yellow ribbons in support of the troops from Bowen Scarff
Ford/Volvo to the new bridge on Central Avenue.
Brubaker stated that in light of the resolution the City passed in
support of the troops during the conflict, with no comment on the
policy behind it, the attorneys' office feels there is no problem
with tying yellow ribbons in support of the troops.
The meeting adjourned at 5:30 p.m.

Subject: Skateboard Facilities
Many cities have looked into the feasibility of offering
skateboard parks, however, very few have followed through with
the actual construction or operation of such' a facility. In
researching municipally -operated skateboard facilities, I found
the biggest concerns to be that of liability, maintenance, and
supervision.
We could only find two facilities in the area that are being
operated by municipalities. The City of Fircrest has operated a
facility since last summer. The City of Olympia offered weekend
events last summer and this year opened a skateboarding facility
in cooperation with the school district and Boy Scouts of
America. Both cities began operating skateboard facilities
because their City Councils passed ordinances restricting
skateboarding in certain areas of their city.
Bainbridge Island offered a skateboard park for several years and
closed it last summer'because of declining users. They stated
that the only people using the park were those coming in from
outside the area. The cost of maintaining the facility could not
be justified because it was not providing a service to residents.
Another type of skateboard activity took place last summer when
King County Parks co -sponsored a skateboard competition with the
National Skateboard Association. The weekend event took place on
County park property and the N.S.A. supplied supervisory staff,
judges, and equipment. The N.S.A. set up the skateboard ramp in
an area approved by King County Parks. This was a one-time
activity and is not being planned this year.
The concensus seem to be that offering a skateboard facility does
not eliminate skateboarders skating on sidewalks, in streets, and
other locations which a facility was intended to curtail.
Skateboards are the form of transportation used on streets and
sidewalks and will continue to be used on private and public
property even if a facility is offered.
The City of Auburn's insurance carrier, Washington Cities
Insurance Authority, was contacted regarding their position on
skateboard facilities and activities. They strongly discouraged
the development of skateboard facilities which include permanent
°Councilmembers

r
ramps and other skateboard obstacles. However, they do offer an
alternative to a permanent skateboard facility.
The alternative suggests that an outside entity such as the Boy
Scouts of America or National Skateboard Association sponsor and
Conduct skateboarding events very similar to the King County
scenario. These one -day events can be held on City property,
however, the insurance coverage would be that of the sponsor.
The equipment used for the event would be owned and maintained by
the sponsor; it would be portable in nature and removed from the
site after the event is over. Supervision would come from the
sponsoring organization.
Last summer, with W.C.I.A. concurrence, the City gave permission
for the Boy Scouts of America to conduct a one -day competition at
Les Gove Park. The Boy Scouts of America provided the insurance,
equipment and supervision as suggested by our insurance company.
The event was very successful. Because this is the type of
skateboard activity approved by W.C.I.A., we will contact the Boy
Scouts of America and invited them to provide a similar event in
Auburn this year.
We would recommend against pursuing permanent skateboard
facilities for Auburn because of our insurance company's
position. Attached is a letter which W.C.I.A. sent to another
member city. The letter substantiates the aforementioned
position and alternatives of the W.C.I.A. We will endeavor to
work with the B.S.A. in providing a special skateboard event.
If you would like further information regarding skateboard
facilities or have any questions regarding this matter, please do
not hesitate to contact me.

MEMO
TO: Parks Committee
FROM: Senior Advisory Committee
Kent Senior Activity Center
DATE: March 20, 1991
SUBJECT: Article Written by Lyle Price, Valley Daily News
Concerning Possible Reshuffling and Creation of New
Departments at Kent City Hall
We, the undersigned elected representatives of the Senior Advisory Committee, urge
you to please leave the Senior Activity Center under the direction of the Parks and
Recreation Department.
At this time we do not have room for the many classes and activities we would like
to see implemented. We are allowed to use the facilities at Kent Commons and the
playing fields at the present time. Under the proposed change we are concerned
there might be a charge to the Senior Center to use these facilities.
Rumor has been rampant for some time that the Seniors would be squeezed out of the
Senior Activity Center and that the City eventually would use the facility primarily
for City business. We sincerely hope this is not so but feel it is a distinct possibility
if Health and Human Services direct the operation of the Senior Activity Center.
We strongly urge you to reject the proposed plan and we do intend to circulate
petitions in the City to that effect in the near future.
