TIONS
Drinking Driver Design Contest Winners Mayor Pro
Tem Woods noted that since 1973 the Kent Drinking
Driver Task Force has taken a message of healthy
lifestyle choices to the citizens of Kent, and
have sponsored a "Keep A Friend Alive" poster de-
sign contest to raise student awareness of sober
driving, safety belts, bicycle helmets and saying
"no" to drugs. Woods noted that over 1, 750 en-
tries were received this year. She introduced
Gene Peterson, Executive Director of Washington
Traffic Safety Commission. Peterson noted that
countless volunteer hours have been contributed,
and that the volunteers and all the children who
participated are winners. Councilmember Houser,
Chair of the Task Force, and Lynda Anderson, Coor-
dinator of the Task Force, then presented certifi-
cates to the design contest winners. Anderson
thanked the Task Force staff, the City Council,
City staff, Kent School District and the citizens
of Kent for their support. Woods noted that 35
local businesses and corporations have contributed
to the contest. She noted that the Boeing Company
deserves special recognition for printing the art-
work on book covers and posters and distributing
them to 44 schools. Woods also recognized State
Representative Chris Vance for his efforts to as-
sure funding for the Task Force.

Mayor Pro Tem Woods introduced Finance Director
Tony McCarthy and Financial Services Manager May
Miller, who presented an award to Finance Depart-
ment employee John Hillman for his excellent work

COMMUNICA- tion efforts. Ms. Rivily presented Woods with a
TIONS Drug-Free Washington tee-shirt.
CONSENT JOHNSON MOVED that Consent Calendar Items A
CALENDAR through M be approved. Mann seconded and the
motion carried.
MINUTES (CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 3A)
Approval of Minutes. Approval of the minutes of
the regular Council meeting of April 2 , 1991, with
the addition of the following phrases which were
inadvertently omitted:
Item 3F - Adoption of Resolution 1278
Item 3G - Adoption of Resolution 1279
HEALTH & (CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 3H)
SANITATION Overlook Apartments. ACCEPTANCE of the bill of
sale and warranty agreement submitted by Overlook
Associates Limited Partnership for continuous op-
eration and maintenance of approximately 31640
feet of water main extension; and 1, 411 feet of
sanitary sewer extension constructed in the vi-
cinity of South 228th Street and 90th Way South
for the Overlook Apartments and release of cash
bond after expiration of the one year maintenance
period.
WATER (BIDS - ITEM 5A)
Water System Improvements. Bid opening was held
on March 21 with four bids received. The low bid
was submitted by R.W. Scott Construction in the
amount of $326, 764 . Due to the complexity of the
project and the need for a consultant to furnish
construction management because of the staff
shortage in Public Works, the project budget is
inadequate to meet anticipated expenditures. IBC,
Public Works and Operations Committees have ap-
proved the transfer of $110, 000 from the Unencum-
bered Water Fund to this project. Staff recom-
mends that the contract be awarded to R.W. Scott
Construction. JOHNSON MOVED that $110, 000 be
transferred from the Unencumbered Water Fund to
this project and that the contract be awarded to
R. W. Scott Construction for the bid amount of
$326, 764 . Houser seconded and the motion carried.

April 16, 1991
SEWERS (PUBLIC HEARINGS - ITEM 2A)
LID 339 - Hilltop Avenue Sanitary Sewers. This
date has been set for a public hearing on the for-
mation of Local Improvement District 339 for con-
struction of sanitary sewer extension in the vi-
cinity of Hilltop Avenue. Public Works Director
Wickstrom noted that this is an existing residen-
tial area and that the property owners have asked
for sanitary sewers. He noted that there are ten
properties involved and that the total project
cost is $69 , 531. 80, for an assessment of $5, 953 . 18
for each property owner, to be paid over ten
years. He explained that after notification by
the City, the property owners have 90 days to con-
nect to sewers, and that they will then get a
monthly sewer bill whether they have connected or
not. He noted for Mann that it would be possible
to cut costs by combining with other projects, and
that in the past costs were cut 20% by combining.
He noted for Orr that the Lavendar Hills Subdivi-
sion has a detention system, and that a new devel-
opment in the county may be contributing to the
problem because it drains down 94th.
Woods declared the public hearing open. Gary
Moore, 836 Hilltop Avenue South, noted that water
from above his property comes up in his yard, and
that his basement walls are being forced inward
from the pressure. He said that sewers will help,
but that a drain system should be designed for the
area. Woods suggested that the matter of drainage
be discussed by the Public Works Committee and
Moore agreed. Rebecca Bailey, 843 Hilltop Avenue
South, noted that her property is saturated and
her basement is flooded, and agreed sewers are
needed. There were no further comments from the
audience and ORR MOVED to close the public hear-
ing. Mann seconded and the motion carried.
JOHNSON MOVED that the memorandum from the Direc-
tor of Public Works be made a part of the record
and that the City Attorney be directed to prepare
the ordinance creating LID 339 . Houser seconded
and the motion carried. Woods asked that Moore
and Bailey be contacted as to when the Public
Works Committee will discuss this matter. Wick-
strom responded that it will be discussed at the
meeting on May 7 at 2 : 00 p.m.

ments. ADOPTION of Ordinance 2979 creating LID
338, as approved at the April 2 Council meeting.
UTILITIES (CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 3I)
Utility Consulting Services. AUTHORIZATION for
the Mayor to sign an agreement for utility con-
sulting services with Utilitec Corporation. Util-
itec agrees to examine the City' s Puget Power ac-
counts for the purposes of determining overcharges
for which the City will pay 50 percent of the re-
covered charges in the form of refunds or credits
and agrees to pay Utilitec for future savings at
the 50 percent rate for a period of 12 months.
The City will make no other outlay for consulting
services except from monies saved in reduced cost
or refunds.
CONDITIONAL (CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 3D)
USE APPEAL Puget Power Appeal - Findings of Fact & Conclu-
sions. ADOPTION of Resolution 1281 pursuant to
directive from Council at the April 2 hearing on
appeal. The Legal Department has prepared a reso-
lution issuing findings of fact and conclusions
consistent with Council ' s action on Puget Power' s
appeal of certain conditions imposed in granting a
conditional use permit.
TRAFFIC (CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 3G)

Recycling. ADOPTION of Resolution 1282 estab-
lishing a policy that the City of Kent employees
will participate in the in-house recycling program
available to them in their work place, as recom-
mended by the Public Works Committee.
COMPUTER (CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 3L)
UPGRADE Central Computer System Upgrade. ADOPTION of
Ordinance 2981 authorizing the purchase of a cen-
tral 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 producti-
vity 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 up-
grade 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, and that the pro-
posed 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.

PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE
APRIL 16, 1991
PRESENT: Steve Dowell Gary Gill
Leona Orr Tony McCarthy
Don Wickstrom John Bond
Roger Lubovich Jerry McCaughan
Carol Morris Mr. and Mrs. Rust
Tom Brubaker Bob Hirsch - Metro
Vehicle Registration Fee
Wickstrom explained that in order for the City to spend the funds
the County will be collecting effective July 1, it is necessary to
adopt a resolution confirming the process for meeting the
transportation planning, programming and coordination requirements
of the legislation. Wickstrom continued that if approved by the
Committee he would bring the resolution before the full Council
after it has been reviewed by the legal department. The Committee
unanimously recommended adoption of the resolution after review by
the legal department.
Metro Agreement — Park And Ride Lot - Kent/Des Moines Road
Wickstrom explained that the City has received a grant from TIB to
expand the Park and Ride Lot on Kent/Des Moines Road. Metro will .
pay 100% of all local costs and will be responsible for the design
and construction of the expansion. The project will require de-
annexation of two lots from Sea-Tac which we are pursuing. It was
confirmed that Metro would also be covering the cost of the de-
annexation. The Committee unanimously recommended approval for the
Mayor to sign the agreement.
Metro Sewage Disposal Agreement
Wickstrom commented that action on this agreement had been tabled
in May of last year until we had determined the extent of cleanup
required at the lagoon and Metro ' s part in that, if any. We have
concluded that any cleanup will be minimal and not a factor in the
terms of this agreement. Approval of the agreement would result in
a net increase in sewer charge to the City. Currently the sewer
rate is based on 900 cubic feet per month. After several studies,
Metro has determined that the single family residence typically
uses 750 cubic feet per month; thus, the agreement would change the
base to 750 cubic feet. This shift results in a reduction in the
AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into this day of
1991, by and between the Municipality of
Metropolitan Seattle, a metropolitan municipal corporation of the

residential monthly charge but a significant increase to the
commercial accounts. Bob Hirsch indicated that 31 of 37 cities
have signed the agreement. Kent is the largest city that has not
signed. Wickstrom stated that 100% of the agencies have to sign
the agreement before it can take effect. It is anticipated this
would be effective January 1, 1992 . Wickstrom added that the rates
reflected in the agreement were last year ' s rates and Metro could
be implementing a rate increase by the time the agreement is in
effect. Bob Hirsch stated that the Metro rate projected for next
year is $14 . If this agreement is effective the rate will be
$12 . 80 which is lower than the current rate of $13 . 20 . The
Committee unanimously recommended approval.
1991 South County Asphalt Concrete Pavement Overlay
Wickstrom explained that the County' s 1991 Overlay project involves
a portion of two streets which are in the City limits - S. 204th
between Frager and Orillia and a portion of S. 256th by 116th.
They are proposing to overlay that portion within the City limits
if the City will reimburse them for the cost. Funds have been
included in the City' s 1991 Asphalt Overlay program. The Committee
unanimously recommended approval.
East Hill Annexation
The last time this item was discussed Steve Dowell asked for the
financial impact of the annexation. Wickstrom displayed a map
showing all the annexation covenants and agreements that we have.
The outer boundary of the proposed annexation area as shown on the
map was established based on our water and sewer franchise
boundaries together with what appeared to be a logical boundary.
We have covenants amounting to 53% of the assessed value of the
entire area and 60% is required for annexation. Areas 1 and 2 are
the only areas for which we have adequate annexation agreements,
78% in Area 1 and 89% in Area 2 .
Financially, none of the areas would be self sustaining. For Areas
1 and 2 , the costs projected by the Fire Department were based on
no enhancements. The Fire Chief indicated to bring the level of
service up to what he considered appropriate would be $307 , 000 a
year. The Police Department projected costs as if Areas 1 and 2
were fully developed estimating $1, 019 , 343 to service. Area 1 has
the least impact in terms of the general fund. Just looking at
Street, Police and Fire and excluding immediate needs such as
vegetation management and asphalt pavement work, Area 1 would
probably pay for itself.

PROPOSAL TO ANNEX AREA #1 (J. Harris)
Mr. Harris went over his memo which discusses the procedures that would
need to done to annex Area #1. The resolution that was adopted a couple of
years ago and the map that goes along with this resolution was explained to
the Committee members. The map describes the areas that were proposed to
be annexed by a number system - Area 1, 2 , and 3 . The Annexation Committee
of which Harris is chairman has been meeting for quite some time
concentrating on Area #1. The Committee decided to proceed to annex Area
#1.
Mr. Harris stated that a number of things need to be done before annexation
occurs. RCW 35A permits cities to annex unincorporated islands by adhering
to the following:
1. Council adopts a resolution stating its intent to annex.
2 . A public hearing is held; all property owners in the island are
notified.
3 . Notice of intent to annex is filed with the boundary review
board. .
4. Annexation is accomplished via an ordinance.
5. The annexation ordinance is subject to referendum for 45 days
after passage.
6. If a referendum petition is filed, an election is held and the
annexation shall be deemed approved unless a majority of the
votes cast on the proposition oppose it.
The first priority is to invite citizens to the West Hill Fire Station to
discuss annexation and provide information. At this meeting, there would
1
ITY COUNCIL PLANNING COMMITTEE MINUTES
APRIL 16, 1991
be a discussion of the advantages of annexing to the City of Kent and the
timelines as to when this would occur. The Annexation Committee is asking
for the Planning Committee to agree with this proposal.
Mr. Harris passed out a Fiscal Impact Summary Sheet giving the fiscal
impact of annexing the West Hill Area. The estimated revenues coming in
would be $42, 366. The expenditures would be $38, 017 . A Comparison of
taxes was also presented. Compared with the County, there is a much
narrower advantage of only $53 . 00 based on property taxes for a $100, 000
home in the City of Kent.
At the same time, Don Wickstrom is continuing to work on Area #3 , which Don
has broken down into six subareas. Mr. Harris pointed out on a map in more
detail the area that Don Wickstrom is working on. Leona Orr reported that
this was discussed at the Public Works Committee on April 16 . Since there
seems to be more of a negative financial impact, the Committee did not feel
comfortable making a recommendation but ask that this proposed annexation
be brought to the City Council on May 7 to let the City Council decide
whether or not to proceed with Area #3 .
Councilmember Leona Orr MOVED and Councilmember Christi Houser SECONDED the
,notion to send this issue to the City Council on the consent calendar with
.:he Planning Committee's recommendation for the administrators on the
Annexation Committee to move forward on Area #1. Motion carried.
MOBILE HOME PARK CODE AMENDMENT (C. Proud)
Senior Planner Carol Proud passed out a memorandum to the Committee
members. She stated that the Planning Department received a regulatory
review request from a mobile home park owner asking to amend the siting
criteria for moving mobile homes onto individual lots in an existing park.
The section that is being asked to be revised is Section 1. 3 para. 3 which
states:
"Any units brought into an existing mobile home park; any mobile home
relocated on its own lot or onto any other lot; any additions to the
structure or structures present on any lot (e.g storage buildings,
canopies', decks, patios, fences, etc. ) must comply with this code as
well as all other applicable City codes and regulations.
Ms. Proud mentioned that King County is no longer issuing siting or
relocation permits for individual mobile home units in existing parks. As
specified in the City's Mobile Home Park Code (Section 1. 4) , the duty has
been turned over to the Building Official. The Building Official has
denied relocation permits because the code does not permit relocating
individual mobile home units that cannot meet requirements and standards
for new parks. The size of newer units are typically wider and longer than

1. SUBJECT: EAST HILL ANNEXATION
2 . SUlUMM STATEMENT: At the April 16 Public Works Committee
meeting, the Public Works Director recommended pursuing
annexation of Areas 1, 3 and 4 as delineated on the map of the
East Hill area in order to give Council greater control over the
272nd, 277th corridor. It should be noted that these annexation
areas are all part of Area 3 of the City's overall priority
annexation areas. The Director of Public Works would like
Council concurrence to pursue the annexation before directing
staff to obtain the 10 percent petition. The Public Works
Committee determined they would send this item to the full
Council for discussion with no recommendation.
Since the Public Works Committee meeting, one property owner has
requested that all her property be included within the
annexation area. As such, the boundary of Area 1 is amended to
reflect same.

a portion of two streets which are in the City limits - S. 204th
between Frager and Orillia and a portion of S. 256th by 116th.
They are proposing to overlay that portion within the City limits
if the city will reimburse them for the cost. Funds have been
included in the City's 1991 Asphalt Overlay program. The Committee
unanimously recommended approval.
East Hill Annexation
The last time this item was discussed Steve Dowell asked for the
financial impact of the annexation. Wickstrom displayed a map
showing all the annexation covenants and agreements that we have.
The outer boundary of the proposed annexation area as shown on the
map was established based on our water and sewer franchise
boundaries together with what appeared to be a logical boundary.
We have covenants amounting to 53% of the assessed value of the
entire area and 60% is required for annexation. Areas 1 and 2 are
the only areas for which we have adequate annexation agreements,
78% in Area 1 and 89% in Area 2.
Financially, none of the areas would be self sustaining. For Areas
1 and 2, the costs projected by the Fire Department were based on
no enhancements. The Fire Chief indicated to bring the level of
service up to what he considered appropriate would be $307,000 a
year. The Police Department projected costs as if Areas 1 and 2
were fully developed estimating $1,019,343 to service. Area 1 has
the least impact in terms of the general fund. Just looking at
Street, Police and Fire and excluding immediate needs such as
vegetation management and asphalt pavement work, Area 1 would
probably pay for itself.
Wickstrom stated if Council wanted to have some greater control
over the 272nd/277th corridor, he would suggest annexation of Area
1. He would also recommend including Areas 3 and 4 to create a
more logical boundary that might be more receptive to the Boundary
Review Board. The first hurdle would be get signatures
representing 10% of assessed value of these areas. Dowell said
that ifhe felt the cash flow were either neutral or positive he
would give certainly consider it but since it isn't he has a real
problem being in favor. Responding to Dowell's question, Wickstrom
stated he would like to get concurrence to pursue the annexation of
Areas 1, 3 and 4 before directing staff to begin work on the 10%
petition. Dowell asked if he needed Council direction to do that.
Wickstrom responded that would let him know there is interest on
the part of the Council and he would not be wasting staff time.
Orr stated she shared Dowell's concerns but was leaning the other
direction toward supporting the annexation. Wickstrom added that
some known impacts to the residents of these areas would be that
they would save $24 a year on a $100,000 home on property tax,
water rates would be reduced approximately $43 a year. Drainage
utility rates would be less in the City and there would be free
recycling for the single family homes.
Since only two members of the Committee were present at this
meeting, it was determined to send this to the council as a whole
with no recommendation.
272nd/277th Corridor
Roger Lubovich stated he would like to discuss the possibility of
hiring a lobbyist to help the City in their relationship with the
County. Last Monday, Lubovich continued, he had gone to County
Council to comment on an action that was before them on the
272nd/277th corridor. It was obvious at that time that the City is
not receiving all the information from the county we need in order
to respond to these issues. We need to know when items are
scheduled to be discussed. For example, last Monday we were
informed that the County Council would be addressing the issue of
expanded scope of the study. The County's Public Works staff
indicated the item was a request for additional funding for the
consultant. Lubovich continued that the item was an approval for

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
April 9, 1991
TO: Public Works Committee
FROM: Don Wickstrom
RE: East Hill Annexation
At the December 18, 1990 Public Works Committee meeting a possible
annexation area was presented as a means of establishing some City
jurisdiction with respect to the 272nd/277th Corridor project.
Prior to acting thereon, however, the Committee first wanted to
know what the financial implications (revenue versus expenses)
would be. We now have completed that analysis along with a review
of all existing East Hill annexation commitments.
Map A depicts all the existing East Hill area annexation
commitments. The outer boundary there on was established based on
a mixture of City water and sewer franchise boundary limits and
what makes logical sense as a City limit boundary. The total area
encompasses 3 , 218 acres and has an assessed value of $340, 242 , 526
of which City annexation commitments represent 53%. Sixty percent
(60%) is required for annexation; therefore, additional commitments
are necessary in order to pursue the annexation of the entire area.
It should be noted that there are some significant County road
improvements in the works such as 240th Street Improvement from
116th Avenue to 132nd Avenue and 256th Street Improvement from
116th Avenue to 124th Avenue. Were the entire area annexed, then
the City would be responsible for these improvements. While
commitments for the entire area are inadequate for annexation,
there are some subareas that have adequate commitment.
The subareas were established by reviewing Map A and setting
boundaries at what seemed to be logical locations. As noted in
Table 1, Areas 1 and 2 are the only areas wherein the commitments
are sufficient to support an annexation. Areas 1 and 2 were the
potential annexation areas previously presented. Annexing north of
256th Street, however, should be deferred until 256th Street is
improved (scheduled for improvement by the County in 1995 for which
the County has a pending 50% matching TIA grant) .
The financial analysis for Areas 1 and 2 is given in Tables 2 , 3 ,
and summarized in Table 4 . The conclusion is that neither area is
self supporting. However, excluding initial capital expenses and
considering only general fund expenses, Area 1 would be self
supporting but the assumptions made for police and fire expenses
East Hill Annexation
April 9, 1991
Page 2
must be weighed. While it is not a self supporting annexation, to
establish City jurisdiction with respect to the 272nd Corridor, the
Public Works Department recommends that the City should pursue the
annexation of Area 1. We would also recommend possibly including
Areas 3 and 4a. While the additional financial impact thereof
would obviously be more negative, the boundary would be more
rectilinear and, thusly, represent a more logical boundary.

Subject: SCENIC HILL PARK - FISCAL NOTE
Creator: Tony MCCARTHY / KENT70/FN Dated: 03/27/91 at 1750.
THE PARK DEPARTMENT, AT THE REQUEST OF THE KENT SCHOOL DISTRICT, IS SEEKING
A COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT TO CONSTRUCT A PARKING LOT IN SCENIC HILL PARK.
WITH EXTENSIVE REMODELING OF SCENIC HILL ELEMENTARY, THE PARKING LOT EXPANSION
IS BEING REQUIRED BY THE CITY. THE SCHOOL DISTRICT'S OPTIONS FOR PARKING ARE
EITHER TO USE A PORTION OF THEIR PLAYGROUND OR TO SEEK A COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT
WITH THE CITY.
THE AGREEMENT WOULD STATE THAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT WOULD BEAR THE FULL COST
OF THE PARKING LOT CONSTRUCTION BUT THE LOT COULD BE USED BY THE CITY TO
ACCESS THE PARK. IN ADDITION THE CITY COULD USE THE SCHOOL DISTRICT'S CONTRI-
BUTIONS OF $80, 000 TO $100,000 WITH $120, 000 TO $145, 000 OF BUDGETED CIP GRANT
MATCHING FUNDS TO APPLY FOR A STATE GRANT OF $225, 000. IF THE GRANT IS APPROVED,
A $450, 000 SCENIC HILL PARK IMPROVEMENT WOULD BE PROVIDED. IF THE GRANT IS NOT
APPROVED THE CITY GRANT MATCHING FUNDS WOULD NOT BE USED. ALL PARKING LOT COSTS
WOULD BE PAID FOR BY THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.
WITH PARKING LOT CONSTRUCTION COSTS PAID BY THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, AND THE
ADDITIONAL POSSIBILITY OF USING SCHOOL DISTRICT MONEY TO OBTAIN A $225, 000
MATCHING STATE GRANT, THE IBC APPROVES THE COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT. IF THE GRANT
IS APPROVED, A $450, 000 PARK IMPROVEMENT CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED AT A CITY COST
OF $120, 000 TO $145, 000. THE CITY HAS $200, 000 BUDGETED IN THE CIP FOR PARK
GRANT MATCHING FUNDS FOR 1991.

THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT IS REQUESTING AUTHORIZATION FOR A BUDGET CHANGE
TO TRANSFER AN ADDITIONAL $17,000 TO THE WASH RACK PROJECT. THIS PROJECT WAS
AUTHORIZED DURING THE 1990 BUDGET AT $20,000. SINCE THE SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
CAN NOT BE REDUCED, THE BUDGET CHANGE IS NEEDED TO AWARD THE BID TO THE LOWEST
BIDDER AND MAINTAIN THE REQUIRED CONTINGENCY.
THE IBC RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE BUDGET CHANGE SINCE WITH FOUR BIDS ALL OVER
BUDGET, IT IS NOT LIKELY REBIDDING WOULD RESULT IN LOWER BIDS. THE IBC
RECOMMENDS THAT THE FUNDS COME FROM THE UNENCUMBERED FUND BALANCE OF THE
EQUIPMENT RENTAL FUND. FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE SINCE A BID FOR A BACKHOE CAME IN

2 . SUMMARY STATEMENT:
A budget of $20, 000 had been approved for this project. Bid
opening resulted in receipt of four bids, the lowest of which
is $28,427. 39 . There does not appear to be any way to reduce
the scope of the project to the extent that it could be
constructed within the approved budget and still have an
acceptable product. There are unexpended funds in equipment
rental as a backhoe was budgeted at $66, 594 and purchase price
was only $27, 454 . It is, therefore, proposed to transfer ,
$17, 000 from this equipment rental fund to the Wash Rack.

SUBJECT: Washrack Upgrade
The bids for addition and upgrade of wash rack have come in higher than
expected. The design cannot be changed much if we are to connect to
Metro and meet their standards.
Bids were as follows:
Harbor Pacific $35,992.73
R.K. Construction 28,427.39
K.S.C. Construction 36,896.20
David L. Sack 41,380.00
If we contract with R.K. Construction and allow for advertising for bid,
Engineering charges for services, and 10% allowance for miscellaneous. We
could need $35,000.00.
Funds could come from money in capital outlay carried over from 1990 for
purchase of a replacement backhoe to replace #156. The budgeted amount
for purchase was $66,594.00 of which only $27,454.50 has been spent. I
recommend we use this surplus money to complete the washrack.

IN THE MEANTIME WE NEED TO KICKOFF THE 1992 BUDGET PROCESS. THE SCHEDULE
CALLS FOR MEETING WITH THE DEPARTMENT BUDGET PERSONNEL ON MAY 14 TO GIVE THEM
1992 BUDGET INSTRUCTION. I WAS HOPEFUL THAT THE FEBRUARY SALES TAX RECEIVED
ON APRIL 30TH WOULD CONTINUE THE MORE OPTIMIST TREND REPORTED THROUGH MARCH,
BUT THE TREND REVERSED ITSELF. IN ADDITION OUR BUILDING PERMIT REVENUE FORECAST
REMAINS SUBSTANTIALLY BELOW BUDGET AND SINCE SALES TAX AND BUILDING PERMIT
REVENUE IMPACT NEW CONSTRUCTION CALCULATIONS, OUR 1992 PROPERTY TAX MAY NOT BE
TO THE LEVEL OF PRIOR YEARS. THIS LEADS TO A PESSIMISTIC 1992 THAT IS FURTHUR
COMPOUNDED ON THE EXPENDITURE SIDE BY SETTLED LABOR AGREEMENTS BASED ON CPI
ADJUSTMENTS AND ALREADY IDENTIFIED INCREASES FOR INSURANCE AND OTHER COSTS.
WITH THE MOST RECENT REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE DATA INCORPORATED INTO THE
FORECAST, THE 1992 GENERAL FUND IS $3 , 505, 575 OUT OF BALANCE. BELOW ARE SOME
3SIBLE ADJUSTMENTS TO BRING 1992 IN BALANCE:
V USE SOME OF THE $2 , 000, 000 GENERAL FUND CONTINGENCY.
�l MAKE ONE TIME ONLY TRANSFERS FROM OTHER FUNDS TO THE
V GENERAL FUND. THE CIP HAS APPROXIMATELY $3 MILLION TO
ALLOCATE IN 1992 . THE UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION FUND
PROBABLY HAS AN EXCESS $200, 000 TO $300, 000 IN RESERVES.
f3% MOVE FROM A SLOWDOWN TO HIRING FREEZE SAVING $4 , 000 PER
MONTH PER VACANT POSITION. 14 VACANCIES FOR 19 MONTHS
FROM 6/1/91 TO 12/31/92 SAVES $1. 1 MILLION.
HAVE THE DEPARTMENTS PROPOSE A PERCENT DECREASE FOR 1992 .
A 1% DECREASE SAVES APPROXIMATELY $330, 000.
INCREASE THE UTILITY TAX. to RAISES ABOUT $1. 1 MILLION
PER YEAR.
$3 , 505, 575
IBC HAS REVIEWED THESE OPTIONS AND IS RECOMMENDING THE CONTINUATION OF THE
HIRING AND CIP SLOWDOWN. IN ADDITION THEY WILL BE ASKING THE DEPARTMENTS TO
PROPOSE DEPARTMENTAL BUDGET CUTS OF UP TO 10%. A COMBINATION OF CUTS, USE OF
r ;ERVES, AND TRANSFERS FROM OTHER FUNDS CAN BE EVALUATED BY THE COUNCIL AT THE
Ezti•vUST 8TH WORK SESSION. THE CONTINUED HIRING SLOWDOWN AND AN IMPROVED ECONOMY
WILL HOPEFULLY REDUCE THE OVERALL PERCENTAGE OF CUTS THAT HAS TO BE TAKEN.
PLEASE CONSIDER THIS PROPOSAL. ADMINISTRATION WOULD LIKE YOUR INPUT PRIOR TO
FINALIZING BUDGET DEVELOPMENT INSTRUCTIONS TO THE DEPARTMENTS.

Approval of Vouchers
All claims for the period ending March 31, 1991 were approved for payment in the amount of
$1,101,955.35.
UtiliTec Agreement
Finance Director McCarthy introduced Bill Golding from UtiliTec. Mr. Golding had approached the City
to propose doing an audit of our utility bills. His company reviews the tariffs being charged to large
companies to make sure they are correct. For example, street lights are charged different tariffs than other
electricity. UtihTec would double check the tariffs the City is being charged for. The proposed agreement
has been reviewed by Assistant City Attorney Brubaker. The proposed agreement is for twelve months and
the only staff time required would be to pull one years worth of bills. There would be no charge to the
City unless a refund is found by UtiliTec in which case they would be paid half of the refund and half of
twelve months of savings.
Finance Director McCarthy recommended that authorization be given for a pilot project in which UtiliTec
would review the City's Puget Power bills and proceed to other areas if the City desires to in the future.
Finance Director McCarthy also added that Customer Services Manager Lindsey was speaking with Puget
Power regarding HVAC Energy Conservation which may apply to a retrofit program for City Hall. Any
savings from this program would not apply to the UtiliTec agreement. After further discussion with Mr.
Golding, Committeemember Mann made a motion to authorize entering into an agreement with Utilitec.
Committeemember Johnson seconded the motion, which passed with a vote of 3-0 to be placed on the
Consent Calendar of the next City Council meeting.
Corrections Union Contract
Personnel Director Olson informed the Committee that negotiations with the Corrections Union were
completed approximately three weeks ago and a two year contract had been ratified by their membership.
Personnel Director Olson reviewed the highlights of the new contract with the Committee which included
strengthening of the Affirmative Action/Nondiscrimination section and the use of the Federal Mediation
OPERATIONS COMMITTEE MINUTES
April 9, 1991
and Conciliation Service in the Grievance Procedure. Personnel Director Olson then reviewed the
Compensation of the new contract with the Committee.
After Finance Director McCarthy pointed out the Fiscal Note provided for the Corrections Union Labor
Contract, Committeemember Johnson moved that authorization be given to sign the contract.
Committeemember Mann seconded the motion which passed with a vote of 3-0 to be placed on the Consent
Calendar of the next City Council meeting.
Military Leave Memorandum of Understanding
Personnel Director Olson stated his pleasure in presenting the Military Leave Memorandum of
Understanding with the Firefighters Union as previously discussed by the Operations Committee which
provides for compensation of nine work periods if the employee is assigned to a 24-hour shift position or
fifteen work periods for other shifts.
Committeemember Mann moved that authorization be given for the City to sign the Memorandum of
Understanding with the Firefighters Union. Committeemember Johnson seconded the motion. The motion
passed with a vote of 3-0 to be placed on the Consent Calendar.
Central Computer System Upgrade
Information Services Director Spang reviewed the five-year Automation Plan with the Committee. Since
Plan adoption, the number of employees utilizing the automated systems to do their daily jobs has
increased from 10 in 1986 to some 250+ today. The current computer is becoming outdated which results
in the need to modify software to work on the older computer. Because of this and the increased needs
of the City, Information Services Director Spang requested the Committee approve the purchase of the
Hewlett-Packard 3000/958. This computer would meet the needs of the City at a reasonable price for at
least the next three to five years depending on growth.
Information Services Director Spang pointed out that this was a sole source appropriation which is
necessary to fit with the current HP system approved in 1986. In addition, the proposed computer is a new
computer so it is not available on the used market. Assistant City Attorney Brubaker has reviewed the sole
source requirement and will draft an ordinance for adoption by the Council if approved.
Finance Director McCarthy noted that funding was available using previously approved CIP funds. The CIP
for 1991 has $600,000 available for computer upgrades of which $200,000 was budgeted for the Police
upgrade. The Police Department has agreed to defer their upgrade until January of 1992 since they will
be moving shortly and will be more stable in January.
Committeemember Mann moved to request Assistant City Attorney Brubaker to prepare a sole-source
ordinance for the next City Council meeting and that the authorization be given to Information Services
Director Spang to place orders with Hewlett-Packard and associated software vendors using previously
approved CIP funds not to exceed $384,210. Committeemember Johnson seconded the motion which
passed with a vote of 3-0.

Water System Improvements
Public Works Director Wickstrom reviewed the progress of the Water System Improvement Project. Over
the past 4 or 5 years new pump stations and wells had been designed by different engineers which has
resulted in some bugs in the system. A consultant has been requested to find the solutions to these
problems. Additional funding is needed-to award the bid to the lowest bidder. In addition to the bids
coming in higher than expected, the project is over budget due to outside construction management
required because of a shortage of staff inspectors. Once the project is complete, current maintenance
people will be able to operate the system. Authorization is requested to transfer $110,000 from the
unencumbered water fund, $80,000 of which will pay for the construction manager. Finance Director
McCarthy stated that there is ample dollars in the unencumbered water fund to cover the transfer.
Committeemember Mann moved that authorization be given to transfer $110,000 from the unencumbered
water fund to the Water System Improvements - Phase II Project. Committeemember Johnson seconded
the motion which passed with a vote of 3-0 to be placed on the Consent Calendar of the next City Council
meeting.
Increased Authorization for City Change Fund
Finance Director McCarthy requested an ordinance change authorizing a $5,000 amount for the change
fund. Providing of change for the driving range and the new permit center in the Centennial Building has
resulted in the Finance Department exceeding the authorized li..dt of $3,500 by $725. The new $5,000
limit would allow for a $700 cushion for future needs such as the Saturday Market.
Committeemember Johnson made a motion requesting the City Attorney's Office prepare an ordinance to
raise the authorized limit to $5,000 for the change fund for approval at the next City Council meeting.
Committeemember Mann seconded the motion which passed with a vote of 3-0.

Lobbyist 272nd/277th
City Attorney Lubovich requested authorization to hire a City lobbyist for the 272nd/277th Corridor Project.
The City of Kent does not always seem to be receiving information from King County" with enough lead
time to act on it. A lobbyist would provide a person in the trenches to make sure information is received
as it becomes available as well as a person with the expertise and time to follow through as needed
throughout the project. The Internal Budget Committee and Public Works have agreed that it would be
cost effective to use 272nd/277th project funds to pay for a lobbyist. During further discussion it was
noted that other Cities have staff members with the primary function of representing their cities interests
on such issues.
Committeemember Johnson moved to approve funding for a 272nd/277th lobbyist. The motion was
seconded and passed with a vote of 2-0 to be placed on the Consent Calendar of the next City Council
meeting.
Citizen Sr. Housing Concern
An unidentified citizen asked the Committee why the Senior Housing Project was being considered on
Smith Street instead of across from the Senior Center. Assistant City Administrator Hansen explained that
a ten member committee representing a cross section of the community and expertise had selected the
proposal which is currently going into a negotiation phase before being presented to the City Council.
After further discussion, Acting Chairperson Mann adjourned the meeting at 5:25 p.m.

Iry Fleming Concerns
Jim White stated that Iry Fleming had called him with concerns
about trucks turning onto 208th and not being able to make the
hill; also not being aware that they cannot turn around once they
start up. Mr. Fleming has requested signing which would indicate
a potential problem. At this point, Ed White stated he didn't feel
that signing would take care of the problem. However, he has
written a work order to post two signs on the northeast and
southeast corners of East Valley Highway on existing poles
indicating that. . . . "this area is not an access to the freeway" .
The signs should be ready in the next couple of weeks.
Underground Tank Removal
Don Wickstrom stated that there were six bids and the low bid was
essentially double the budget we had. The tanks are for water and
sewer facilities and there are Federal requirements to bring them
up to standard by 1992 . Thus, we are recommending to proceed with
the project, transferring some funds out of existing projects.
Committee unanimously agreed for approval of the tank removal
project and the budget transfers.
Traffic Mitigation Resolution
Wickstrom stated that Jon Johnson had asked this item be on the
agenda. Carol Morris stated the Public Works Department would
continue to review the notification of the developments as has been
done in the past, and if there is any impact to Kent's
transportation system, the City could take whatever administrative
recourse they could to protest that, and in any way, appeal it. If
that didn't work, the Director of Public Works could determine if
the impact would be substantial enough to get city resources
involved. Someone would have to make some discretionary
determination before we proceeded at each step of the appeal
process. Wickstrom stated we have appealed many of these before to
the County Council level.
Public Works Committee
March 19, 1991

Jim White stated that he does support the theory. However, he
stated that virtually every development that happens in SE King
County affects the City; and do we have a formula making that
determination and what happens to our legal staff and other staff
in keeping up with this process.
Don stated that King County does advise us of all developments and
we try to target those that have an impact. We were using the King
County threshold of 10 peak hour trips. Anything over 10 trips, we
would pursue mitigation of their impact and if they weren't willing
to mitigate, we could pursue an appeal.
Jim White asked what the dollar figure would be at 10 peak hour
trips. Don stated about $10, 000 - $20, 000 for corridor
participation. Don stated that the original concern is laying the
groundwork for a case to get the courts to support SEPA and have
County Council recognize that they just can't look at their County
intersections and say fine; they also have to look at impacts on
City intersections and require mitigation for them. Carol Morris
commented that the Director of Public Works should make the
determination whether a specific development has a significant
impact and should be appealed rather than through a formula based
on dollars. Jim White concurred with that. He continued that the
resolution would indicate that Council agrees we need to pursue the
appeals and staff can determine the guidelines.
Wickstrom stated that the County is now collecting fees for
projects that will be impacted by development. King County has
adopted their Transportation Master Plan which identifies the 272nd
corridor and are using SEPA to identify impacts.
Committee unanimously agreed to recommend to Council the adoption
of the Traffic Mitigation Resolution.
Downtown Signs
Ed White stated he spoke with Dee Moschel last week regarding this.
It will take approximately three weeks to manufacture the signs
with an additional two to three weeks for installation. Jim White
inquired on the status of the "City of Kent Welcome" signs.
Wickstrom stated that some have already been installed.
Proposed LID - 218th Street
Wickstrom indicated that the Rust' s assessment had been reduced as
a result of a revision of the project. Mrs. Rust stated that her
Public Works Committee
March 19 , 1991
Page 3
concerns have still not been addressed and is questioning what to
do next.
M
Mrs. Rust major concern is the payment of the $88 , 000 assessment.
Discussion followed regarding Mrs. Rust interpretation that a
portion of her property is designated as wetland. Wickstrom stated
that they would need to do a study to determine if, in fact, the
property or a portion thereof is wetland, and if so, then that
portion which is would not be benefitted by the improvements,
because it would not be useable and the assessment would be
adjusted accordingly. Don stated that the area would have to be
larger than an acre to be considered wetland. The Army Corps of
Engineers allows filling up to an acre of wetland. Anything more
than an acre requires a 404 permit. Don further explained that
just because it is tentatively a wetland, doesn't negate potential
development of the property. Offsetting mitigation can be provided
on lands elsewhere in order' to develop this property. It is not
"clear cut" whether being a wetland makes it totally non-
developable. White asked what options are available to the Rust' s.
Wickstrom stated that with any LID assessment there is always a
question whether the property is benefitted in the amount of the
assessment. They could hire a wetland biologist to determine what
is wetland - which could be detrimental to potential future use of
the property. They could hire an appraiser to determine the before
and after benefit to their property. He added that currently we
consider the street unsafe since. the truck/trailer rigs can't
maneuver safely. Wickstrom continued that at the final assessment
roll hearing, the Rusts should provide information on what is
wetland. If a portion is wetland, then it may not be developable
and would, thus, affect their assessment.
Mrs. Rust stated that they have appealed the house and one acre to
the tax assessor. Now they want to appeal the pasture on the basis
of it being a wetland; however, at this point, it is inconclusive.
Mrs. Rust wondered if Trammel Crow would be willing to pay their
assessment.
Leona Orr stated she feels the City should be able to establish a
way to determine that when a person has no intention of leaving
their property or are in such an income level that by having an LID
forces them to sell and move out, there should be some provision
made. She feels that Mr. & Mrs. Rust are not going to be
benefitted by an LID. Wickstrom stated that the property is
industrial zoned area, has water and sewer to its frontage and is
only used for residential purposes. White stated this is a similar
argument heard anytime property is down zoned.

Jim White asked about the status of Canyon - Drive. Gary Gill
responded that all the final plans and specifications are getting
put together. White requested a presentation to Council on the
scope of the project prior to advertising for bids.
Jim White asked about the presentation of the tunnel idea - Don
stated it would be discussed at the next Public Works meeting.
Regarding the status of the 272nd/277th Corridor - Don stated that
we are in the process of updating our traffic study. July or
August should be the time for finalization of the draft. A review
of the speed limit change is being done as we were using a 40 MPH
urban arterial design speed and the County wanted to use 50 MPH.
White asked if the 196th Corridor is part of south Tukwila' s access
and also south access to the airport. Don stated that a notice has
been received by TIA that if we don't submit the project prospectus
by April 12th our grants could be denied. Dowell asked if we would
buy the complete right of way needed at the time we begin this
project or just a piece at a time. Wickstrom replied we would be
securing the entire right of way.
Jim White stated that it appears that if the proposal on the re-
authorization on the federal gas tax goes though, that money will
flow through the state rather than through metropolitan planning
organizations, in our case DOT. The people from the Puget Sound
region felt that it would be a plus if it came through that way
because of the designation. There is no opposition to re-
authorizing the federal gas tax but certainly there are some
concerns about how they are proposing to bring it down.

Tunnel Technology Presentation
Wickstrom introduced Gary Phillips of Wilsey and Ham, Pacific and
Siggi Finnsson of the Robbins Company who will review the concepts
and costs associated with construction of a tunnel. Gary Phillips
stated that a tunnel alternative for the two proposed alignments of
the 272nd/277th corridor. Both were proposed to have 800 foot
horizontal curves connecting on both sides to the roadway sections.
The east wall is a relatively undisturbed forested area that has
steep slopes and ravines generally running from elevation 50 up to
the plateau which is elevation 400 . The site investigation
revealed the soils are silty sand, some gravels, cobbles and
scattered boulders. The tunnel would be approximately 4 , 000 feet
in length, requiring two twin bores, one for the downhill direction
and one for the uphill direction. The grade for the tunnels would
range from 6-1/1 to 8%. It would be a 40-foot diameter bore. The
downhill bore would be two lanes with pedestrian access. The
uphill portion would be a three lane facility where you have a
climbing lane inside the tunnel .
The tunnel technique proposed is an "Earth Pressure Balance" , ETB
system with a slurry shield. The tunneling alone is approximately
$50 million. That does not include any facilities that would be
required for inside the tunnel, roadway, ventilation, lighting,
etc. In order to come up with a representative cost for the whole
tunnel inside facilities had to be considered. These included
ventilation, fire protection, drainage, lighting, and tunnel
lining. Looking at the tunnel environment itself, the types of
materials used inside the tunnel because of the exhaust and
different types of chemical reactions, requires more extensive
material than a typical roadway or bridge structure. The estimate
was roughly $80 million for the two 4 , 000-foot tunnel sections
Public Works Committee
April 2 , 1991
Page 2
Most of the costs are associated with the tunneling itself.
Siggi Finnsson of Robbins Company stated that tunneling machines
can be split into two groups. One being hard rock and the other
being soft ground. The geology of this hill consists of soft
ground. Soft ground machines can be any of three different kinds,
excavator shields, pressure valve shields, or slurry shields.
Photos of various types of machines were displayed and discussed.
He stated this type of tunnel would be lined by pre-cast reinforced
concrete segments taking place as the machine advances through the
ground. There would be nine segments to a ring each weighing about
10, 000 pounds . The specifications of a machine that would
construct this type of tunnel would be approximately 40 feet in
diameter, advance rate of approximately 4 feet per hour, weight of
the machine would be about 4 million pounds.
Jim White asked about the comparison of cost - tunneling versus
standard construction. Wickstrom responded it would be
approximately $20 million to construct the 2 mile project using
conventional construction methods versus about $90 million to
construct including the tunnel . White continued that it appears
even with a tunnel there is quite an operation above ground and
would be disturbing the environment in any case. Siggi Finnsson
clarified that the disturbance would occur at the portals. On top
of the actual tunnel there would not be any construction unless you
wanted to construct ventilation shafts . It was explained that a
tunnel of this length would require ventilation shafts. Structures
at each end of the portal would require clear ceiling heights of 25
feet. You would need three large fans in order to provide
ventilation in each of the structures. White asked about the cost
to maintain a tunnel versus an open roadway. Phillips continued
that it should be lined with a ceramic tile to reduce maintenance.
Wickstrom added that you would still have the cost of maintaining
the road structure in addition to the cost of the tunnel
maintenance. There would still be the drainage facilities to
maintain as well . There was a question as to what happens to the
dirt. Wickstrom stated that was a factor that still had to be
determined. We do know that because of the quality of the soils it
could only be used summer fill.
White asked when the proposed alignments on the corridor would be
brought before Council. Wickstrom explained when the EIS is
completed then it will be brought before Council for selection of
the preferred route and adoption of the EIS. It could be brought
before Council before that time in the appeal process.

Recycling Resolution
Karen Siegel explained that in recognition of Earth Day 1991, the
Earth Day Committee, which consists of volunteers from several City
departments, decided to rejuvenate the City' s in-house recycling
program. While participation is voluntary on the part of the
employees, the Committee felt that adoption of a resolution
establishing a policy of in-house recycling would establish the
identity of the program and emphasize its importance. It will make
a statement to the employees that the City is dedicated to the
program and will also serve to show the community that the City is
dedicated to recycling efforts . Orr commented that this was a
great idea. The Committee unanimously recommended approval.
Parkside Division #2 Walkway
Wickstrom stated this item is mostly an informational one. We have
had our legal staff review the concerns brought up by Mr. Venables.
They have determined there is no merit to Mr. Venables legal
arguments.
Surplus Equipment
Wickstrom presented a list of equipment to be surplused. The
Committee unanimously recommended approval to surplus and sell the
equipment.
Status of Garbage Disposal Issue
Wickstrom stated he wanted to bring the Committee up to date on the
status of the settlement of the issue. The haulers have settled on
their service areas and effective April 1 there could be a change
in haulers for the commercial customers.
Water System Improvements - Transfer of Funds
Wickstrom stated that after opening bids on this project it appears
the budget is about $110, 000 short. A large portion of the overrun
is due to the need to hire a consultant to provide construction
management. Because we have not been able to fill budgeted
positions this year, the vacancy of the Construction Engineer
position and the work load of the existing staff, we are having to
manage this project through a consultant. Wickstrom stated he was
recommending the transfer of $110, 000 from the unencumbered water
fund. IBC has approved this transfer and we will be taking it to
Operations because of the budget change. The Committee unanimously
recommended approval of the transfer of the funds.

Puget Sound Regional Council Interlocal Agreement
Wickstrom explained that an interlocal agreement has been developed
which would create a Puget Sound Regional Council instead of the
PSCOG. This Council would primarily coordinate the road projects
and disburse federal funds. Passage requires approval of cities
representing 60% of the population. White commented there is
concern at the Suburban Cities level about issues being brought
before the Council from the County and the PSCOG at the last
minute. There needs to be time to thoroughly review these issues.
The Committee unanimously recommended approval.
Proposed LID 218th Street
Wickstrom distributed a memorandum prepared by the legal department
outlining the legal options the Rusts would have for assessment
deferral. Tom Brubaker reviewed the contents of the memorandum.
The Rusts can only be assessed to the degree their property is
specially benefitted. Therefore, if there is a wetland area
designation or some designation on their property that would make
any portion undevelopable, their assessment would have to be
proportionately reduced. There is a statutory exemption from
special assessments on LID for farm and agricultural land. This is
probably one of the most difficult classifications for the Rusts to
achieve as they would have had to have a gross income from the
property of at least $1, 000 for three of the past five years.
There is a statutory framework for people over the age of 61 if
they can show the necessary need to defer payment and have the
state pay the installments on the assessments. Brubaker continued
that the Rusts may be eligible for this but the state charges an 8%
interest charge on their payments. So, the Rusts would end up
paying the installment on the assessment, the interest on the bond
and then 8% interest on top of that. There is a statutory
enactment that legitimizes latecomer agreements on LID' s. If an
adjacent property owner wishes to pay the assessment up front, we
can, in the enacting ordinance, include terms for the repayment of
the assessment upon the occurrence of certain conditions such as
sale of property, property development, etc. There could also be
private agreements between the Rusts and others, perhaps a life
estate, creative financing. Brubaker stated he has also been in
contact with the Rust' s attorney.
Mr. Rust had a question about the wetland designation. Wickstrom
responded that any development that would occur would have to show
by additional analysis that it is a wetland or that only a portion
Public Works Committee
April 2 , 1991
Page 5
thereof is a wetland. That is primarily an issue the SEPA official
would review at the time a development permit is sought. Mr. Rust
stated that they would have to go through the ritual of proving
their property is not a wetland so they can develop. Wickstrom
stated that in today's market either a developer or lending
institution would require both a wetland analysis and hazardous
substance analysis on any property before consummation of a sale.
Leona Orr questioned for future LIDs if there is any procedure we
can set in place that would prevent property owners from being
displaced by the burden of LID assessments. It was determined that
Council does have the authority to vote against the formation of an
LID. Brubaker informed the Committee there are attempts underway
both by the Rust' s attorney and by the City to find a solution to
the problem.
Other
Charlie Kiefer asked about the status of the draft EIS for the
272nd/277th Corridor. Wickstrom stated that the City' s draft EIS
would be available approximately July - September. The County is
doing their own traffic study to establish the priority of the
corridor projects.
PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE

PRESENT: Steve Dowell Gary Gill

Roger Lubovich Jerry McCaughan
Carol Morris Mr. and Mrs. Rust
Tom Brubaker Bob Hirsch - Metro
Vehicle Registration Fee
Wickstrom explained that in order for the City to spend the funds
the County will be collecting effective July 1, it is necessary to
adopt a resolution confirming the process for meeting the
transportation planning, programming and coordination requirements
of the legislation. Wickstrom continued that if approved by the
Committee he would bring the resolution before the full Council
after it has been reviewed by the legal department. The Committee
unanimously recommended adoption of the resolution after review by
the legal department.
Metro Agreement Park And Ride Lot - Kent/Des Moines Road_
Wickstrom explained that the City has received a grant from TIB to
expand the Park and Ride Lot on Kent/Des Moines Road. Metro will
pay 100% of all local costs and will be responsible for the design
and construction of the expansion. The project will require de-
annexation of two lots from Sea-Tac which we are pursuing. It was
confirmed that Metro would also be covering the cost of the de-
annexation. The Committee unanimously recommended approval for the
Mayor to sign the agreement.
Metro Sewage Disposal Agreement
Wickstrom commented that action on this agreement had been tabled
in May of last year until we had determined the extent of cleanup
required at the lagoon and Metro' s part in that, if any. We have
concluded that any cleanup will be minimal and not a factor in the
terms of this agreement. Approval of the agreement would result in
a net increase in sewer charge to the City. Currently the sewer
rate is based on 900 cubic feet per month. After several studies,
Metro has determined that the single family residence typically
uses 750 cubic feet per month; thus, the agreement would change the
base to 750 cubic feet. This shift results in a reduction in the
Public Works Committee
April 16, 1991
Page 2
residential monthly charge but a significant increase to the
commercial accounts. Bob Hirsch indicated that 31 of 37 cities
have signed the agreement. Kent is the largest city that has not
signed. Wickstrom stated that 100% of the agencies have to sign
the agreement before it can take effect. It is anticipated this
would be effective January 1, 1992 . Wickstrom added that the rates
reflected in the agreement were last year ' s rates and Metro could
be implementing a rate increase by the time the agreement is in
effect. Bob Hirsch stated that the Metro rate projected for next
year is $14 . If this agreement is effective the rate will be
$12 . 80 which is lower than the current rate of $13 . 20. The
Committee unanimously recommended approval.
1991 South County Asphalt Concrete Pavement Overlay
Wickstrom explained that the County' s 1991 Overlay project involves
a portion of two streets which are in the City limits - S . 204th
between Frager and Orillia and a portion of S. 256th by 116th.
They are proposing to overlay that portion within the City limits
if the City will reimburse them for the cost. Funds have been
included in the City ' s 1991 Asphalt Overlay program. The Committee
unanimously recommended approval.
East Hill Annexation
The last time this item was discussed Steve Dowell asked for the
financial impact of the annexation. Wickstrom displayed a map
showing all the annexation covenants and agreements that we have.
The outer boundary of the proposed annexation area as shown on the
map was established based on our water and sewer franchise
boundaries together with what appeared to be a logical boundary.
We have covenants amounting to 53% of the assessed value of the
entire area and 60% is required for annexation. Areas 1 and 2 are
the only areas for which we have adequate annexation agreements,
78% in Area 1 and 89% in Area 2 .
Financially, none of the areas would be self sustaining. For Areas
1 and 2 , the costs projected by the Fire Department were based on
no enhancements. The Fire Chief indicated to bring the level of
service up to what he considered appropriate would be $307 , 000 a
year. The Police Department projected costs as if Areas 1 and 2
were fully developed estimating $1, 019 , 343 to service. Area 1 has
the least impact in terms of the general fund. Just looking at
Street, Police and Fire and excluding immediate needs such as
vegetation management and asphalt pavement work, Area 1 would
probably pay for itself.

Wickstrom stated if Council wanted to have some greater control
over the 272nd/277th corridor, he would suggest annexation of Area
1. He would also recommend including Areas 3 and 4 to create a
more logical boundary that might be more receptive to the Boundary
Review Board. The first hurdle would be get signatures
representing 10% of assessed value of these areas. Dowell said
that if he felt the cash flow were either neutral or positive he
would give certainly consider it but since it isn't he has a real
problem being in favor. Responding to Dowell ' s question, Wickstrom
stated he would like to get concurrence to pursue the annexation of
Areas 1, 3 and 4 before directing staff to begin work on the 10%
petition. Dowell asked if he needed Council direction to do that.
Wickstrom responded that would let him know there is interest on
the part of the Council and he would not be wasting staff time.
Orr stated she shared Dowell ' s concerns but was leaning the other
direction toward supporting the annexation. Wickstrom added that
some known impacts to the residents of these areas would be that
they would save $24 a year on a $100, 000 home on property tax,
water rates would be reduced approximately $43 a year. Drainage
utility rates would be less in the City and there would be free
recycling for the single family homes.
Since only two members of the Committee were present at this
meeting, it was determined to send this to the Council as a whole
with no recommendation.
272nd/277th Corridor
Roger Lubovich stated he would like to discuss the possibility of
hiring a lobbyist to help the City in their relationship with the
County. Last Monday, Lubovich continued, he had gone to County
Council to comment on an action that was before them on the
272nd/277th corridor. It was obvious at that time that the City is
not receiving all the information from the county we need in order
to respond to these issues. We need to know when items are
scheduled to be discussed. For example, last Monday we were
informed that the County Council would be addressing the issue of
expanded scope of the study. The county' s Public Works staff
indicated the item was a request for additional funding for the
consultant. Lubovich continued that the item was an approval for
expanded scope and had been previously discussed in January. The
City had not received any information on this. Lubovich added that
he asked the County Council for three things - 1) more direct
information from their staff so we can deal with the issues as they
come up and allow us to have an input; 2) what this expanded scope
would do to the City' s plans to have their EIS done by mid-summer;
and 3) would the City have an opportunity to make a case before the
Public Works Committee
April 16, 1991
Page 4
County Council if our studies determined that the project was
feasible. The point is, if the City is serious about this project,
it would be most beneficial to have someone down at the county
helping us. Dowell asked if the County Councilman for this area
was sending us information and if there was a list we could be on
as an interested party to receive information. Lubovich stated
that Kent Pullen did ask a lot of questions and some of the staff
has been sending us some material. W- _:kstrom stated that the costs
would be considered part of the administrative costs for the
corridor and come from the corridor funding. Dowell asked what a
lobbyist would cost and asked for more information on the costs
involved. Orr stated that to save time if the matter goes before
IBC and Operations Committees it probably would not have to come
back before the Public Works Committee but could go to Council for
action. Orr added that when she met with Brian Dierdowski he
commented that it would helpful to the City if we had someone down
there watching what was going on.
