The City o1 Kent Celebrates Its First 100 Years
October 14, 1991
Dear President Woods, Councilmembers and Citizens :
Transmitted herewith is the 1992 Preliminary Budget. This is a budget that is balanced
and provides no increase in taxes. Almost immediately after adopting the 1991 budget in
November 1990, the revenue growth trends of the last eight years slowed down. When this
was discovered in December of 1990, Administration implemented a hiring and capital
improvement project slowdown. In the spring, tighter controls were needed and the
slowdown was turned into a freeze. Due to unanticipated factors we are now experiencing
a general fund shortfall of $5,898,275. This Preliminary Budget fills the shortfall in
the following way. <
Reduces the general fund contingency to $500,000 after
adding approximately $800,000 for utility tax accrual $ 2,300,000
Uses one time only transfers from the unemployment and
capital improvement funds 1 ,075,851
Increases departmental revenue, primarily by providing for
double bunking at the Correction Facility 511 ,869
Makes citywide cuts for: expenditures below trend; 30% of
professional development; and equipment rental charges
due to extending vehicle lives and establishing
rental pools for vehicles, reducing the number of city
vehicles 324,594
3
r�4ti b$
Makes cuts in departmental budgets as proposed by
departments except for positions 548,089
Establishes a salary credit allocated to departmental
budgets with departments absorbing by maintaining
vacant positions 1 , 137,872

Though the General Fund has been hardest hit by a downturn in the economy, I have
decided to apply all cutbacks 'applicable to the General Fund to all otherJunds. This
practice provides for consistent treatment for all City operations, allowing those
operations to look at efficiencies in their areas.
This balancing process has been very different from past years where we have had the
luxury of adding staff and programs to meet the demands of growth. Growth has slowed to
the point of needing budget cuts. However, the budget can be balanced because in good
times we built contingencies and set aside funds for capital improvements. Thus,
because of good budget management over the past several years, the budget can now be
balanced without layoffs and without tax increases.

Dear Mayor Kelleher and Council Members:
The Board of Directors, staff and current participants of Washington Women's Employment and
Education join me in expressing our sincere appreciation for your consideration of our funding
request. We believe that a strong alliance between city government,the corporate communityand
individual human service providers is the best foundation for building adequate services through
programs to meet the needs of the low-income population of our area.
In brief, with $10,000 in financial support from the City of Kent (as recommended by the Human
Services Commission), the WWEE program will provide employment and training services for at
least seven(7)qualifying low-income single parents who are residents of your city. These services
Will first allow attendance at our three-weekJob Readiness Training Class, or Phase l of the WWEE
program. During this time, participants will rebuild self-esteem and focus on setting obtainable
goals for the future. A plan of action will be devised which,characteristically,will include vocational
training which will provide marketable work skills which will later translate into wages and benefits
sufficient to meet the needs of the single-parentfamily.
assistance and follow-up.support will be provided during Phase II of our program for a minimum
period of at least 12 months, or until the Kent participant is well on the way to permanent self-
sufficiency and has taken her/his place as a productive, contributing member of the Kent
community.
-we look forward to continuing our partnership with the City of Kent in providing services to
deserving low-income single parents in your area.
Sincerely, l�

Dear Mayor Kelleher and Council Members,
A six-month old drug affected baby responds to cuddling. A twenty-seven month old
can climb up and down stairs while keeping one hand on the wall. These are just two
of Kent's young citizens that Children's Therapy Center is able to help using human
service funds from the City of Kent.
So far in 1991, our agency has provided 159 hours of individual physical and speech
therapy, and early education groups to 28 unduplicated children with special needs
from Kent. These 28 children had no other means to pay for these services. While
the number served may he small, the sense of accomplishment and potential is large.
The benefits to Kent go far beyond these individual children and families. These
funds indicate Kent does care and is concerned about the quality of life for even its
youngest citizens.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, these 28 young children, and the staff of
Children's Therapy Center, I thank you for your commitment to human services.
Your vision in providing for Kent's more vulnerable citizens is admirable. We thank
you for this vision and strongly encourage you to maintain this caring attitude.
Sine, rely,

Resource Dear Mayor Kelleher,
Center On behalf of the Board of Trustees of King County Sexual

appreciation of the funding support from the city of
Kent .
KCSARC has provided services to the residents of Kent for
the past 15 years . During this time the increased
awareness of the problem and scope of sexual assault has
„ . •.:lull :;nrl increased markedly, as has the need for our services .
( liil:lr :n
Kent residents receive a wide range of services from
KCSARC, including :
* 24-hour crisis intervention
* assistance with all aspects of the criminal
justice
system
* counseling for victims and their families
* intensive individual and family therapy for child
sexual assault victims
* specialized medical evaluations for child victims
at the Auburn Public Health offices
* educational presentations to groups of all ages
* professional training anti consultation
* specialized programs for those who do not speak
English as their first language
The anticipated value of these .services to the Kent
community will be $58, 000 in 1992 .
Sexual assault is a significant problem in the Kent
community - as it is for every other community in King
�- lI County . Funds spent today on early intervention and
^, prevention efforts are an investment in a safer and
healthier future for tomorrow .

Dear Mayor Kelleher and Council Members:
On behalf of all the volunteers at Pregnancy Aid of Kent, thank you for
considering our funding request for our shelter program for 1992.
We have operated this shelter for three years. Our shelter is primarilly
for the pregnant woman who is unable to find shelter from other agencies.
These women have been in desperate situations; such as, living in a box,
a car, the park, or on the street. Our goal is to help them find more
permanant living arrangements, so they can be settled as soon as possible
after the baby is born. Sometimes this takes longer than we anticipate
to accomplish, and our goal of housing 12 women a year is not met. We,
however, feel strongly about doing our best to avoid our clients going
from shelter to shelter, especially with a baby.
Pregnancy Aid relies solely on donations and volunteers to help low income,
pregnant women during and after their pregnancy. We are non-profit, non-
denominational, and all our services are provided free of charge. Some
items we provide are: pregnancy tests, vitamins, maternity clothes, baby
clothes, layettes, diapers, cribs, strollers, car seats, high chairs, formula,
baby food, etc. Another important service is giving and receiving referrals
from other agencies, such as the YWCA, Public Health, Multi-Service Center,
Catholic Community Services, and St. Vincent de Paul.
As you can see, the citizens of Kent receive many benefits from Pregnancy
Aid--the basics of clothes, food and shelter. Above all, our volunteers
give their unconditional support to our clients because they care.
Sincerely,,

Dear Mayor Kelleher and City Council Members:
Valley Cities Mental Health Center's Board of Directors, staff and I would like to thank you for considering the 1992
continued funding request for the Survivor's Support and Therapy Program. Funding by the City of Kent in 1991 has
assisted over 30 City of Kent women traumatized by childhood sexual assault to receive much needed mental health
services. Services include individual and family therapy, group therapy and psychiatric evaluation and medication
management. These services are in high demand from citizens of all the cities in South King County. The City of Kent
is to be commended in affording its residents the opportunity to receive services many would otherwise be unable to afford.
Such mental health treatment helps these women recover from the trauma of sexual and physical assault, improve their
self-esteem and reduce the intergeneralional effects of sexual assault and family violence. With treatment these women
can get back to more productive lives, provide more positive parenting, better protect their children from the possibility
of abuse, and in general live a happier and better quality of life. The funding provided will help us in meeting these
important goals.
These services are one part of a continuum of care needed in South King County. We utilize services provided by others
such as South King County Sexual Assault Resource;Center,DAWN and Kent Valley Youth Services. Valley Cities in
turn provides services not offered by others.
Again it is our hope to reach many more people in such need. Your contributions help. Thank you for your support in
meeting the needs of your community.

Dear Mayor and City Council Members,
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your
continued support and partnership in providing needed
services to the community. City funding of our Emergency
Assistance Program, Counseling Program and Cold Weather
Shelter Program have helped us deliver services to those
Kent residents who are in need of basic survival services .
The Emergency Assistance dollars have provided rent,
utilities, food , gasoline vouchers, emergency housing,
furniture, and referral information to city residents .
Through your funding of counseling we have been able to
provide low cost and much needed help to Kent individuals
and families who would otherwise be unable to seek
counseling help . Above all we commend the city for the
innovative Cold Weather Shelter Program dollars which has
allowed us to provide motel/hotel vouchers to homeless men,
women and families on severe cold nights when the
temperatures drops below 35 degrees .
We welcome this partnership with the City of Kent and thank
you all for the continuing care you show to the citizens of
your community.

Child Care Resources (formerly Child & Family Resource & Referral) is appreciative of the
support from the City of Kent in 1991. We are successful because we are funded and supported
through a public/private partnership. CCR is extremely pleased to have the City of Kent as a
funding partner.
Child Care Resources was created by a broadly based planning effort led by the Human
Services Roundtable. The purpose of that effort was to expand and better coordinate the child
care resource and referral services that were being offered by the Crisis Clinic and Family
Services. The agency began delivering services in April, 1990 and opened 3 geographically
accessible offices in May. These offices are located in Bellevue, Seattle and Kent.
Each resource center offers the following basic services: 1. Telephone information and referral
links parents looking for child care with child care facilities using a computerized search based
on information gathered from the parent;2. Technical assistance provides on-site library
materials and workroom equipment to help providers upgrade their child care environment as
well as walk-in and telephone support on issues such as how to get started as a child care
provider; 3. Training workshops are given on a variety of topics of interest to providers and
parents around the county; 5. Leadership and Advocacy activities help move child care forward
as profession and make it more accessible and affordable for parents and 6. Recruitment and
training of substitute staff are provided to child care facilities that subscribe to the substitute
teacher bank.
In 1991, our service to the City of Kent residents will far exceed our contract requirements. By
the end of our 3rd quarter, CCR provided telephone information and referral to 429 City of Kent
parents. This brings us up to 172% of our contract requirements. Telephone information and
referral calls include giving parents information on subsidy programs and counseling them on
how to select quality child care.
CCR also provided 96 hours of technical assistance to 336 parents, providers, employers and
community. Our technical assistance as of the 3rd quarter meets 96%of our contract
requirements. Technical assistance included being an active participant in the Kent Community
Council for At Risk Children and Youth.The South King CCR also did a special project for the
Kent School District to assess the availability of school-age care in the school district. When the
report showed that there was a severe shortage of care for school-agers in this area, a staff
member who has extensive experience running school-age programs, provided technical
assistance to the school district on opening and operating school-age programs.
In the area of training, CCR has offered 24 workshops to the Kent providers. This brings us to
96%of our contract requirement. In South King County, CCR has recruited 3 substitutes for the
member centers for the South King County area. Our substitute recruitment as of the 3rd
quarter is 60% of our contract requirements.

Our services are important to City of Kent residents because we not only help parents find child
care which enables them to work and strenghtens the economic viability of the city, but we also
improve the quality of care by providing training and technical assistance to child care providers.
There are 96 child care providers in Kent, all of whom could potentially use our services. Of
course, not only are the providers themselves helped through these activities, but all the
hundreds of children who attend their child care facilities benefit from providers' increased
abilities to offer quality child care. Studies by child development experts have show that there is
a direct correlation between the quality of early learning environments and later performance in
school and in the community.
The agency was founded in the spirit of community cooperation and needs the continued
support of the suburban cities. The agency will succeed only if funding is truly a cooperative
effort among all the cities and communities that utilize it's services. It is critical that those who

Dear City Council Members :
The Board of Directors and staff at Kent Youth and Family Services
greatly appreciate the support our agency has received over the years
from the City of Kent.
For 1992 , the Human services Commission is recommending continued
funding of $51,000 to staff our Drop-In Center at Kent-Meridian High
School as well as provide counseling for City of Kent families ,
especially those who have experienced sexual abuse and its far-reaching
ramifications. We are working internally to shorten the length of
treatment whenever possible in an effort to reduce our waiting list.
We also do more group work in an effort to serve more families with the
same level of funding.
Thank you for your support of funding for our agency as well as other
human services in the City of Kent.
Sincerely, Sincerely,

As you can see, the delivery of services has increased dramatically
-- unfortunately, the need for services has increased even more
rapidly: The housing program, as an example, is currently turning
away more than 160 families per month. The City of Kent' s
leadership in recognizing human services needs, a commitment to
planning and prioritizing service delivery, and following through
with both CDBG and general fund financial support has established
a standard that has become the model for other municipalities.
Kent ' s contribution to resolving human services problems in south
King County extends well beyond its own borders. (In fact, earlier
this year the SKCMSC nominated Kent for a L+King County Municipal
League award, recognizing these achievements. )
Again, thank you for your concern and your help.

Dear Mayor and Members of the City Council :
Human Services funding from the City of Kent for the Kent Commu-
nity Health Center will help provide access to primary health
care services for 2 , 950 lower income and medically underserved
members of the community . Services to be provided ( 7 , 380 visits )
will include : health prevention services for children and adults
( including physicals and immunizations) ; diagnosis and treatment
of acute and chronic illnesses and minor injuries; chronic dis-
ease management ; linkage to ancillary services (including X-rays ,
laboratory services , specialized diagnostic testing, and social
services) ; inpatient hospital care and dental services . Kent
funds will also be used to provide 35 women with comprehensive
obstetrical care , including labor and delivery . Access to 24-
hour emergency services will be provided by a shared call system
which will include professional staff from the Kent Community
Health Center .
All patients will be screened for residence and financial status
prior to the delivery of care and will be charged for services
based on their ability to pay . No patient will be denied needed
health services due to an inability to pay .
The Kent Community Health Center will operate five days per week ,
with at least one evening clinic per week . At least 90% of the
individuals served will have family incomes below 80% of the
County median income .
Additional funds (10%) have been requested this year to support
inflationary costs and increased service capacity anticipated
after renovation and the completion of two additional exam rooms .
Inflationary costs are attributed to staff/provider salaries ,
medical /medicine supply costs , increased malpractice insurance
costs for providers and increased laboratory costs due to new
state and federal laboratory certification regulations enacted
and implemented in 1990 . The Kent Community Health Center is
also experiencing an increase in language translation services
which cannot be maintained without increased funding .

MINUTES (CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 3A)
Approval of Minutes. Approval of the minutes of
the regular Council meeting of October 1, 1991.
HEALTH & (CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 3C)
SANITATION Walnut Grove. ACCEPTANCE of the bill of sale sub-
mitted by Kerr-Built Inc. for continuous operation
and maintenance of approximately 1, 066 feet of
water main extension, 1, 020 feet of sanitary sewer
extension, 11802 feet of street improvements and
1, 542 feet of storm sewer improvements constructed
in the vicinity of South 242nd and 94th Avenue
South from the Walnut Grove development and
release of cash bond after expiration of the one-
year maintenance period.
WATER (PUBLIC HEARINGS - ITEM 2A)
Surplus Water Utility Ecruipment. State law
requires that a public hearing be held on the dis-
position of water utility equipment, after which
the material can be declared surplus and offered
for sale to the highest bidder. The Public Works
Committee has recommended approval to declare the
material a surplus. The City Clerk has published
a notice of this hearing. Wickstrom explained
that the equipment includes 223 water meters which
have been replaced with new meters and 1000-1500
pounds of copper pipe and brass fittings .
The Mayor declared the public hearing open. There
were no comments from the audience and WOODS MOVED
to close the public hearing. Orr seconded and the
motion carried. WHITE MOVED that Resolution No.
1296 be adopted declaring the material surplus and
authorizing the sale of same to the highest bid-
der. Houser seconded and the motion carried.
SURPLUS (BIDS - ITEM 5B)
EQUIPMENT Surplus Library Furniture. Bid opening was held
on October 3 with two bids received. One bid was
for $9, 083 for the entire amount of furnishings in
the library. The other bid was for $1 , 944 with a
proposal to sell the library shelving on consign-
ment as the proposer was able to dispose of it.
Staff recommends that the bid submitted by Steve
Charles in the amount of $9 , 083 be accepted.
2
October 15, 1991
SURPLUS Upon White's question, Assistant City Administra-
EQUIPMENT for Hansen explained that a number of options for
disposing of the furniture were considered and
that staff opted to go with a formal bid process .
White stated that he felt if a public auction were
held, the furnishings would go for more than
$9, 000. He said that although the furniture was
to be out of the library by October loth, it is
still there. Hansen explained that the City was
under a time constraint and that they considered
an auction but felt that with the cost of renting
a warehouse for storage, hiring an auctioneer, and
conducting the auction, the bid process would be
most expeditious. White pointed out that it has
been five weeks since the furniture was surplused
and that an auction could have been held in that
time without moving the furniture. He said an
auction would have generated publicity for the new
library, and that there are probably a lot of
people in Kent who would like to have something '
from the old library. White also pointed out that
the City does not have an inventory of any equip-
ment valued under $1, 000 .
HOUSER MOVED that the bid submitted by Steve
Charles in the amount of $9, 083 be accepted.
Woods seconded. Bill Doolittle stated that after
seeing the Call for Bids in the newspaper, he went
through the library and saw folding tables priced
at $8 . 00, computer stations at $30. 00, and stack
chairs for $ . 85-$1. 00 each. He noted that the
legal notice stated that all items had to be
removed from the building by October 10, and that
the City of Kent reserves the right to reject any
and all bids, or waive any informalities in the
bidding, or determine which bid or bidder is the
most satisfactory and shall be the sole judge
thereof. He stated that it is likely other
libraries in the system would want the shelving,
and that City departments or citizens could use
the furniture. He noted that King County had held
an auction of surplus equipment on October 5th in
Renton, and that 450 people attended. He said
Kent 's auction could have been done at the same
time. Doolittle pointed out that the City has
just approved a bid for the police station remodel
and that one of the items that was cut to bring
3
October 15, 1991
SURPLUS the project into budget was $90, 000 worth of furn-
EQUIPMENT iture. He noted that the City recently bought a
piece of park property which included a house, and
that they paid $500 for the stove and refrigerator
in the house, and now the City is proposing to
sell a stove and refrigerator for $45 . He opined
that since the time limit for compliance has
passed, the bids are invalid. He said he under-
stands that the winning bidder has a buyer for the
shelving and is not interested in the furniture.
He added that additional revenue could be realized
by having an auction, and that the citizens of
Kent could get good buys. Orr suggested that a
policy on disposing of surplus equipment be devel-
oped for the future. She agreed that an auction
would have netted more than $9, 000, and noted that
auctions can be conducted on-site. Hansen noted
for Houser that Mike Sweeney of the Police Depart-
ment will establish with the contractor a start
date for remodeling the old library, and that it
will be as soon as possible. Charlie Lindsey,
Customer Services Manager, noted that two auctions
are held each year, that the majority of items are
police items, and that they usually bring in about
$2 , 000 . He said in this case they were under the
impression they had a very short time frame. He
noted that they had spoken with Washington State
Surplus, who indicated they are inundated with
library shelving and are not interested in any
more. He also noted that because of the time
frame involved in bringing in an auctioneer, and
the storage costs involved, they decided against
having an auction.
White offered a substitute motion to disregard the
bids and take the merchandise to auction within 30
days on the library premises. Johnson seconded
and suggested that the City auction it off them-
selves .
Upon Dowell 's question, Steve Charles stated that
he had no buyers when he submitted his bid.
McCarthy explained that Charles has since lined up
a number of interested parties and will sell the
items directly. Lindsey noted that in an effort
to get the furniture out of the library by the end
of the month, he authorized Charles to go in, take
inventory, and get the items ready for sale, even
4
October 15 , 1991
SURPLUS though Charles was aware that the bid had not been
EQUIPMENT awarded. Charles explained that he had done a
survey and contacted institutions with libraries
throughout the state and submitted his bid on that
basis. He also noted that Highline, Snohomish and
Issaquah School Districts have expressed interest
in looking at the merchandise but have not yet
done so. He explained for Dowell that it is his
intention to leave the material in the library
until the end of the month, at which time it would
be moved to a warehouse at his expense. He noted
for White that he does not conduct auctions
himself, that he buys merchandise and resells it.
Lindsey explained for White that $280, 000 was
spent on new furnishings for the Centennial
Building, and that the old furniture was distribu-
ted among other City departments. Hansen noted
for White that although one individual was aller-
gic to the new material , it did not result in an
exchange of furniture, that space was instead pro-
vided in City Hall. Lindsey noted that the old
furniture which was not redistributed because it
was unusable or too expensive to repair was sold
to a used furniture dealer for approximately $500 .
He also noted for White that there is not an
excessive amount of used furniture and that an
inventory list of what was sold is available.
White stated that a lot of furniture is gone and
there is no accounting for it.
Upon the Mayor' s question, Hansen and Sweeney
explained that the start date of the remodel pro-
ject is to be negotiated with the contractor and
that if the motion to conduct an auction within 30
days passes, AGCI could start after that, which
would mean a few weeks delay in construction.
White explained that it is not his intent to delay
construction, and that an auction could be
conducted within two weeks . He stated that since
the City is selling furniture from a library which
many citizens used while growing up, the local
newspaper would probably publicize it. Upon the
Mayor' s question, he said that it is not necessary
to change his motion to two weeks, that staff is
efficient enough to set up the auction as soon as
possible. Lubovich explained for Orr that if the
5
October 15, 1991
SURPLUS City reserved the right to reject any and all
EQUIPMENT bids, they are not facing any legal problems.
The Mayor explained that the motion before the
Council is whether to substitute a motion
rejecting all bids and directing staff to conduct
an auction for the material within 30 days on the
library site. Charles stated that the motion
appears to be more emotional than based on exper-
ience, and that Council may be overly optimistic
about what may occur at the auction. He opined
that no one will want 6000 ' of shelving. White
responded that he feels the citizens of Kent would
enjoy such an auction and that a greater return
would be realized.
The motion to substitute carried, with Woods
voting nay. The motion to reject the bids and
conduct an auction then carried.
FINAL (CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 3F)
PLATS Winterbrook II Final Plat No. SU-89-6. AUTHORIZA-
TION to set November 5, 1991 for a public meeting
to consider Winterbrook II Final Plat Map. The
property is approximately 3 . 15 acres in size and
is located on the north side of South 272nd
Street, 500 feet east of 41st Place South and
directly south of Cardiff Street.
(OTHER BUSINESS - ITEM 4A)
Van Doren's Landing Final Plat No. SU-87-4. This
meeting will consider the final plat map for Van
Doren' s Landing SU-87-4 . The property is approx-
imately 103 . 2 acres in size and is located west of
West Valley Highway and south of South 228th
Street. All conditions of the preliminary plat
have been met. There were no comments from the
audience. JOHNSON MOVED to approve staff ' s recom-
mended approval for Van Doren' s Landing Final Plat
SU-87-4 . Houser seconded and the motion carried.
MOBILE HOME (OTHER BUSINESS - ITEM 4D)
PARK CODE Mobile Home Park Code Amendments. Amendments to
AMENDMENTS the Mobile Home Park Code include revisions
related to accessory structures, and appeal proce-
dures for Building Official ' s decisions. At the
October 1, 1991 Council hearing, Council also
approved amendments that would allow recreational
6
October 15, 1991
MOBILE HOME vehicles in mobile home parks as permanent
PARK CODE dwelling units. The City Attorney ' s review of the
AMENDMENTS amendments related to recreational vehicles has
revealed potential conflicts with State law on the
subject, so these amendments have been further
revised. City Attorney Lubovich explained that
recreational vehicles are not constructed or
intended to be used as permanent dwellings and
that he is concerned about legalizing a potential
safety hazard. He said he therefore drafted
changes to the ordinance ordered at the last meet-
ing, which allows for recreational vehicles to be
placed in mobile home parks, but not sanctioning
them as permanent dwellings. JOHNSON MOVED to
adopt Ordinance 3008 as revised by the City Attor-
ney' s Office, amending the Mobile Home Park Code.
White seconded. Motion carried.
BUSINESS (ADDED OTHER BUSINESS - ITEM 4E)
LICENSE U.S. Engines. City Attorney Lubovich explained
that at the last Council meeting, Council con-
sidered the revocation of the business license of
U.S. Engines, and that although the Council could
entertain discussion if they so desire, there is
no follow-up procedure. He said the next step in
the appeal process for U. S . Engines is to Superior
Court. Michael Crossan, owner of U. S . Engines,
stated that he would like to bring the business
into compliance, and asked that the City inform
him of exactly what needs to be done, and give him
a week to accomplish it. Lubovich clarified for
Johnson that there is nothing to prohibit U. S.
Engines from applying for a new business license,
and that they did in fact apply the day after the
last Council meeting. He added that the City has
inspected the site and that the business is still
operating in violation of the revocation. Johnson
pointed out to Crossan that if he wishes to con-
tinue operating in Kent, he would have to abide by
the Code, and that when his business is in compli-
ance, a new business license can be issued.
Crossan noted for Dowell that he is reluctant to
put 37 employees out of work. Lubovich noted for
Dowell that the business had been notified by
letter after the license was revoked. The Mayor
asked whether any councilmember would like to make
a motion to grant Mr. Crossan' s request for a week
to bring the business into compliance, and there
7
October 15, 1991
BUSINESS was no response from Council . He noted that in
LICENSE the absence of a motion, U. S . Engines could
discuss the issue with staff after the meeting,
seek injunctive relief, or go through the business
license process.
Harris noted for White that the business license
process usually takes 30 days or more, and that
during the process, violations would be taken into
account. Lubovich stated that operating without a
business license is a violation of the law and
that in response to the filing of the business
license application, staff was sent to the site
and found the business to be operating and in
violation. White pointed out that Council has
already taken action on this issue, and said that
U.S . .Engines ' only recourse is to apply for a new
license. He added that he feels it should not
take six weeks for any business to get a license.
Dowell commented that he feels business license
revocation should be an administrative action
rather than a Council action. Lubovich explained
that the ordinance requires Council action, but
that Council could amend the ordinance. DOWELL
MOVED that staff look into and make a report on
the possibility of amending the business license
revocation ordinance so that revocations would be
handled administratively. White seconded and the
motion carried. Woods commented that this is the
only business license revocation she has seen in
her nine years on the Council, and that the City
is not looking for opportunities to revoke
business licenses . She also stated that the
Council voted unanimously two weeks ago to revoke
this license and that there is no reason to recon-
sider that action.
PLANNED UNIT (OTHER BUSINESS - ITEM 4B)
DEVELOPMENT Planned Unit Development. This meeting will con-
sider amending the Planned Unit Development (PUD)
regulations of the Kent Zoning Code. This amend-
ment eliminates the PUD regulations in RA, Resi-
dential Agriculture, and R1 , Single Family Resi-
dential zones.
Eric Campbell , CamWest Development, noted that
their project, Dover Place, was the first PUD in
3
October 15, 1991
PLANNED UNIT Kent. He stated that homeowners want open space
DEVELOPMENT and natural features, and that the Planning Com-
mission ' s recommendation does not provide that.
He showed a video of Dover Place, pointing out the
trees and open space, and also showing the large
lots which standard zoning provides . He pointed
out that the larger lots do not have the natural
features people are looking for. He added that if
this amendment is passed, it will create more
sprawl because of less density. Upon Dowell ' s
question, Campbell stated that the video had not
been shown to the Planning Commission and that he
had not received notice of their meeting. Harris
explained that in the R1 zones, there could be one
dwelling unit on lots from 7200 sq. ft. to 20, 000
sq. ft. , and that although this amendment would no
longer allow PUDs in single family zones, they
could occur in multifamily zones. Patrick Grimm
of Wallace Wheeler Grimm Real Estate, pointed out
that the benefits of a PUD are higher density and
more affordable housing. He noted that the median
income in this area is $43 , 000 year which has the
purchasing power of a $120, 000 home. He added
that the average cost of a home is $160 , 000 . He
stated that efforts should be concentrated in
urban areas rather than spreading out, and pointed
out that the Growth Management Act requires that.
Orr said that the overall density within the City
limits is approximately 12 units per acre, which
will be in compliance with the Growth Management
Act. She urged the Council not to be swayed by
the affordability issue and pointed out that the
homes in the original PUD are selling for
$160, 000. She said that citizens prefer backyards
rather than a small park in the center of a
housing development, and that the Council should
consider the desires of the people of Kent.
JOHNSON MOVED to adopt Ordinance 3007 amending the
Planned Unit Development (PUD) and the Kent Zoning
Code, eliminating PUD in RA, Residential Agricul-
ture, and Rl, Single, Family Residential, zones as
recommended by the Planning Commission. Orr
seconded.
Dowell pointed out that in June, 1990 , the City
Council received a petition from the Responsible
Urban Growth Group (RUGG) requesting that the City
Council consider revisions to the PUD ordinance,
9
October 15, 1991
PLANNED UNIT and asked if that petition had an impact on the
DEVELOPMENT decision to bring forth this change. Orr said
that when the petition was presented to the Coun-
cil , she moved that it be sent to the Growth Man-
agement Committee and that it was suggested it
also go to the Planning Commission. She said the
Growth Management Committee recommended an advi-
sory ballot which Council rejected. She said the
issue then went to the Planning Commission. She
noted that the Planning staff recommended to the
Planning Commission that they not review certain
parts of that petition and Planning Commission
agreed. Orr said she felt that was unfair, that
it was important that the Planning Commission make
the decision as to whether or not to review those
parts, and the Planning Commission said they would
review them if Council so desired. She noted for
Dowell that the Planning Committee then voted
unanimously to have the Planning Commission review
and make a recommendation to the Council .
Dowell voiced concern that the one person who has
had a PUD in the City for over a year did not
receive notice of the meeting. Orr responded that
notice was published in the newspaper. Campbell
noted for Dowell that although he has been in the
Building Department during the past year, no one
mentioned the meeting to him. Mayor Kelleher
noted that he hopes that any staff member who has
reason to believe anyone would be interested in an
issue coming before the Council would let those
people know about the meeting. He also said, in
regard to Orr' s comments about the petition, that
if Council directs that something be done, he
expects staff would carry that out without edito-
rializing except as appropriate.
White pointed out that when Dover Place first came
before the Council , the units sold for $95, 000 and
that the price is now $160, 000. Upon his ques-
tion, Campbell explained that the price adjustment
is because of the length of time it took to do the
project. He also noted that they are currently
providing affordable housing because comparable
developments in the area cost at least $20, 000
more. White stated that he is not sure PUDs are
the answer to affordable housing, that perhaps
10
October 15, 1991
PLANNED UNIT less government regulation and a shorter permit
DEVELOPMENT time would help more. The motion to adopt
Ordinance 3007 then carried.
KING COUNTY/ (OTHER BUSINESS - ITEM 4C)
METRO MERGER King County/Metro Merger. This issue considers
the recommendation of the City Council Planning
Committee not to support the proposed King County/
Metro Merger. This recommendation was made on
September 17 , 1991. JOHNSON MOVED to adopt the
Planning Committee ' s recommendation not to support
the proposed King County/Metro Merger. Houser
seconded. White said that he feels that the citi-
zens would not be benefitted. The motion then
carried.

POLICE (BIDS - ITEM 5A)
Police Department Relocation and Remodel. Bid
opening was held on September 10, 1991, with three
bids received. The low bid, submitted by AGCI,
Inc. of Kent, exceeded the project budget by
approximately $130, 000 . The shortfall has been
remedied through minor budget adjustments,
accepting 2 alternative - deducts: 1) emergency
generator @ $17, 800 ; 2) Armorcoat windows @ $8 , 500
and by reducing interior furnishings by $90, 000 .
The project will now balance with existing appro-

BUDGET Bill Doolittle asked to discuss the budget work-
shop which was scheduled for this date but is not
being held. Finance Director McCarthy explained
that the information was presented to Council in
September, that there is no new information to
report, and that he plans to discuss the budget
under Administrative Reports tonight. Doolittle
stated that two months ago the deficit projection
was $4 , 000, 000 , and that one month ago it was up
to $6 , 000, 000, based on July figures . He said the
12
October 15, 1991
BUDGET information which would have been presented at the
workshop this date would have been based on August
revenues, and that he suspects the 1992 deficit
will be $8, 000, 000 or $9, 000, 000, possibly even
more. He noted that the City has projected almost
11% of its sales tax revenue in 1991 to come in
during December, but that in 1990 only slightly
over 9% came in. He pointed out that predictions
for December are not good. He noted that this is
the last Council meeting before the general elec-
tion and that the information brought out at the
workshop could have affected the way people voted.
Doolittle said he feels there is more to this than
the simple cancellation of a workshop. The Mayor
stated that he is not aware of any conspiracy
about the budget. McCarthy explained that the
meeting was cancelled because there is no new
information, except that the September sales tax
was slightly higher than projected. He noted that
the $6, 000, 000 figure was based on a conservative
revenue estimate for the remainder of this year.
Houser noted that McCarthy intends to give the
Council an overview of the 1992 budget under
Administrative Reports tonight, which is what
would have occurred at the workshop if it had been
held. Doolittle responded that his concern is
that the public have an opportunity to comment.
Mayor Kelleher pointed out that there are many
opportunities to comment during the budget
process, and that with Council ' s approval, he
would be happy to receive comments after
McCarthy's Administrative Report tonight. He
emphasized that there is no attempt to stifle
discussion.
REPORTS Planning Committee Upon Johnson ' s request,
Planning Director Harris noted that at the Plan-
ning Committee meeting this date, staff brought up
a proposal for a community participation program.
He explained that in the new Growth Management
Act, each city is required to establish procedures
providing for early and continuous public partici-
pation in the development and amendment of compre-
hensive land use plans and development of regula-
tions implementing such plans. He added that the
procedure should provide for broad dissemination
of proposals and alternatives, opportunity for
written comments, public meetings, provisions for
13
October 15, 1991
REPORTS open discussion, etc. He said staff ' s proposal to
the Council is for a video program, and that funds
are available to carry the program out. He asked
that Council either pass a resolution in support
of the program or have a meeting to discuss the
project. He noted that this is an opportunity to
enhance citizen' s participation in volunteerism,
and to plan for Kent ' s future, both of which are
Target Issues.
Laurie Anderson of the Planning Department noted
that video programs have been tried in other com-
munities. She pointed out that people don't
always attend large anonymous public meetings, and
staff feels this might be a better way to get pub-
lic input. She said that staff, Council , Adminis-
tration and the Mayor would prepare the video
which would be an educational tool to talk about
Growth Management and issues that come up as a
result of Growth Management. She said the video
would then be distributed to community groups who
are interested in discussing the issues in a more
relaxed setting. She added that the participants
would complete a questionnaire designed to give
feedback to staff and policymakers. Anderson
noted for White that the cost for doing the video
is $1300 for a director and that the cable company
has agreed to loan the City a crew and the use of
their studio. She noted that a narrator would add
about $350-500 more, unless the narrator would
donate the time. She explained that groups such
as Kiwanis, neighborhood groups, schools, and the
Chamber of Commerce and their committees, would be
interested in the video. The Mayor clarified that
funds have already been appropriated. White felt
this issue should be placed on a future agenda
with backup material provided. Johnson suggested
having a meeting on Tuesday, October 29 , or else
directing the City Attorney to prepare a resolu-
tion in support of the program. Harris pointed
out that the presentation could take up to two
hours, since the Council should be fully informed
of what is involved. He said the other option
would be to pass a resolution in support and then
possibly involve Council committees in the
project. JOHNSON MOVED to set October 29 , 1991
for a special meeting and to direct staff to
prepare a resolution in support of the program to
14
October 15, 1991
REPORTS be brought back at the next Council meeting.
There was no objection from Council and it was so
ordered.
Parks Committee. Dowell noted that the next
meeting of the Parks Committee will be on Tuesday,
October 22 .
Administrative Reports.
1) City Attorney Lubovich submitted a report which
points out that a City Council candidate must be a
registered voter at the time of filing and a resi-
dent of the City one year prior to the election.
He said that the one-year requirement for being a
candidate is so that the candidate and the commun-
ity can have an opportunity to get to know each
other. He also clarified that the City Council
has absolutely no role in reviewing a candidate ' s
eligibility. He explained that the proceeding
used for contesting an election is an affidavit
filed with Superior Court. He noted that a judge
then makes the determination as to whether to cer-
tify election results or overturn them. If over-
turned, the next qualified candidate with the
largest number of votes would be elected.
2) 1992 Budget. Finance Director McCarthy noted
that a hiring slowdown and CIP slowdown was
initiated in January, 1991, following information
about the November and December sales tax, and
that the slowdown was turned into a freeze in the
Spring. He said the 1992 budget is balanced with-
out any new taxes and without any layoffs. He
noted that two public hearings have been held on
the budget and that the final public hearing is
scheduled for November 5 . He noted that the
budget could be adopted on November 19 or in
December.
McCarthy explained how the 1992 preliminary budget
was arrived at, noting that there will not be a
CIP program in the budget except in the area of
streets. He noted that the plan is to make a con-
tribution to the golf course for the amount of
capital expenditures incurred in 1989 as a gesture
to get them on a sound operating basis, with the
idea that that amount would be paid back following
payment of the revenue bond issue in the future.
15
October 15 , 1991
REPORTS He said the total cuts made in department budgets
in the General Fund total $548 , 000 and that city-
wide departmental cuts of $977 , 000 were made. He
noted that another feature is a salary credit
which equates to the amount related to the posi-
tions that were frozen. That total is $4 , 137 , 872 .
McCarthy noted that City-wide there are 40. 5
vacant positions, 28 . 5 of which are in the General
Fund and their cost in 1992 is $1, 200 , 000 . He
said these positions must remain vacant for the
whole year to balance the budget as presented.
McCarthy said the total City budget is $65 , 791 , 946
which is down about $7 , 000, 000 from the 1991
adjusted budget, and most of that is in the
capital area. He pointed out that the overall
operating budget for the City is up about $800, 000
which is more than offset by a reduction in
capital expenditures. He stated that staff fore-
casted the budget out for four years, and it shows
that the budget cannot be balanced in 1993 , 1994
or 1995, but that many things can happen between
now and then. He said that if all predictions
came true, the City would take $103 , 647 worth of
additional cuts in the 1993 budget. He added that
is a reasonable amount to be out of balance, and
it could be absorbed. He noted that that assumes
the vacant positions stay vacant through 1993 , so
a fairly large number of positions will remain
vacant.
McCarthy noted that on page 20 they are estimating
to collect $8 , 073 , 134 for sales in 1991, which is
$600, 000 less than 1990 , and which is a conserva-
tive estimate. He noted that on page 22 , Cash and
Investment Schedule, the main problem is in the
General Fund. He stated that labor contracts and
other inflationary increases next year create a
problem, but there are other funds which could be
used to help out in the balancing process.
Regarding individual department budgets, he noted
that some may be cut more than others . He noted
that City-wide cuts include 30% of all profession-
al development, extending the lives of vehicles
and establishing pools of vehicles, taking one-
time only cuts and cutting tools, furniture and
capital outlay items, as well as the cuts proposed
by individual departments .
16
October 15, 1991
REPORTS McCarthy explained that a special workshop could
be set up for the Council to discuss the budget
further, or that the Operations Committee might
look at budget from a financial soundness point of
view. Woods pointed out that staff would like
input as to when to meet, whether Operations Com-
mittee should take the lead in holding meetings,
and whether workshops should be held. Upon
White ' s question, McCarthy noted that a line item
report could be produced showing every item but
that it would be several hundred pages long. He
said the preliminary budget distributed tonight is
the best document for showing what the cuts are
and that the details are in the book which was
distributed and discussed at the Council retreat
in August. White suggested holding a workshop on
October 22 at 6: 00 p.m. , and it was so agreed.
The Mayor noted that a public hearing would be
held on November 5 and other meetings could be set
up. He added for Mr. Doolittle that all are
public meetings.
3) Mayor Kelleher noted that City Administrator
Chow is making a trip to the Soviet Union at his
own expense to visit Kent ' s sister city Kherson.
He wished Chow good luck and asked him to give
Kent ' s regard to their friends in Kherson.
ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at 9 : 45 p.m.

Kent, Washington
October 29 , 1991
Special meeting of the Kent City Council was called to order at
7 : 00 p.m. by Mayor Kelleher. Present: Councilmembers Dowell,
Johnson, Mann, Orr, White and Woods, Assistant City Administra-
tor Hansen, Assistant City Attorney Brubaker, Planning Director
Harris, Public Works Director Wickstrom, Fire Chief Angelo,
Police Chief Crawford, Finance Director McCarthy and Personnel
Director Olson. Councilmember Houser, City Administrator Chow,
City Attorney Lubovich, Parks Director Wilson and Information
Services Director Spang were not in attendance. Approximately 30
people were at the meeting.
Mayor Kelleher noted that a Growth Management Review Program is
being carried out through City Administration and the Kent Plan-
ning Department. He noted that some of the growth management
issues have come about because of changes in State law which re-
quire that city and county governments coordinate their planning
better. He stated that some of the State laws are now forcing
city officials to do what should have been done all along. He
explained that if cities have a land use plan which says there
will be 10, 000 new residents in their community, they must also
have a plan for streets, sewers, water and other types of muni-
cipal services to accommodate 10, 000 residents. He noted that
this has not always been done, and the result is overburdened
schools, roads, parks and infrastructure system. He noted that
although the process will be a difficult one requiring hard
choices for the community, it is essential in planning for the
impacts that growth will have on the community.
Fred Satterstrom, Kent Planning Manager, explained that the Forum
Foundation is a non-profit educational research foundation which
initiated the community forum approach to citizen involvement.
He introduced Dick Spady, President; Jim Spady, Executive Vice-
President; and Fawn Spady, Director of Development and Consult-
ing. He then explained that the first part of tonight ' s meeting
will be an explanation of the community participation program and
the second part will be an informal hands-on opportunity to par-
ticipate in a community forum. He noted that the Forum Founda-
tion will lead participants through an actual forum process and
that the end result will be to determine the focus issues for a
growth management video.
Laurie Anderson of the Planning Department noted that one of the
things Planning has always tried to do is ensure public partici-
pation in their projects, but that there has not been good atten-
dance at public meetings. She added that one of Council ' s target
issues is to enhance citizen participation. She noted that the
City of Redmond has used the community forum method and that they
received input from over 400 citizens . She explained that the
1
City would prepare an educational video on growth management, and
that they hope to get input tonight on the issues to target in
the video. She noted that once the video is prepared, it would
be used by citizen groups throughout the community who would then
complete a questionnaire within a certain time frame. The ques-
tionnaires would be returned to the Planning Department and the
results would be presented to Council . She also noted that part
of the proposed program involves a series of slides which help
people visualize what their community would look like in the next
20 years, which is helpful in land use planning.
Fawn Spady of the Forum Foundation distributed handouts and
explained that getting participation from citizens is a difficult
thing to do because everyone is so busy. She said that their
Fast Forum technique allows a large number of people living in
different areas to communicate easily. Dick Spady noted that in
his research he found that people had no constructive way to con-
tribute their opinions and that people are not apathetic, but
simply exhausted by previous efforts to get their ideas across.
He said most people feel going to meetings is a waste of time.
He has concluded that in addition to large meetings, there must
also be meetings of small groups at times and places that are
convenient to participants.
Fawn Spady then reviewed the Fast Forum technique as follows:
1) Use of audio, video or written material to educate par-
ticipants on the issue
2) People meet in small groups with one person organizing
the meeting and showing the video tape
3) People fill out an opinionnaire
4) Opinionnaire results are tabulated by computer and sum-
marized in a report
Spady explained the responsibilities of the people who partici-
pate as follows: to learn about the issues, contribute their
opinions, listen to the opinions of others, and respond to ques-
tions from community leaders. She then explained that after the
Council meeting is adjourned tonight, small groups will be formed
and participants will go through the forum process and discuss
the key issues in growth management and what the focus of the
growth management video should be. Opinionnaires will then be
filled out and the results will be available next week.
Laurie Anderson urged all who are interested to stay after the
meeting and participate. The Mayor adjourned the special meeting
at 7 : 45 p.m. He noted that there would be a ten minute break,
and urged citizens to stay and give their input in the community
forum.

was an inquiry as to how the boundary of this annexation was
developed. Wickstrom indicated that the Public Works Department
looked at what would be a reasonable boundary to consider without
splitting properties. Dowell asked about the status of the
272nd/277th corridor and whether the Council will be hearing some
discussion on it soon. Wickstrom explained that the EIS has to be
completed and any appeal process finalized before it can be brought
before Council. Wickstrom stated that the traffic modeling has
been completed and the draft EIS should be completed in
approximately three months. A member of the audience indicated
that the corridor would definitely be an informational issue that
those impacted by this annexation will want to know about. Leona
Orr moved that the Public Works Committee recommend proceeding with
the East Hill annexation with the boundary modification as
recommended by the Public Works Director and subject to the City's
existing indebtedness. The Committee unanimously agreed.
Jim White Asked Roger Lubovich his opinion about what Council can
or can not hear on the corridor project. Roger Lubovich indicated
that his predecessor had issued an opinion that no Council member
could communicate with residents in the community regarding the
corridor because of the SEPA process. He continued that he will be
reviewing that opinion in that it is his understanding that case
law indicates that only at such time as there is an appeal pending
should this communication be restricted. He stressed the case
isn't real clear so he wants to look at it again and provide the
Council an opinion at the next committee meeting.
Authorization for Condemnation - Dover Court Storm Drainage
Wickstrom explained that we have a project designed to reroute the
drainage system in the Dover Court area to relieve an erosion
problem. We have been unable to obtain two of the necessary
easements in order to proceed with the project. Wickstrom
explained that we will continue to negotiate with the property
owners but are requesting authorization to condemn if negotiations
are not successful. The Committee unanimously recommended
approval.
POW Authorization for Condemnation - LID 338 - Westview Terrace
Wickstrom explained that we have been unsuccessful in obtaining an
easement on one parcel in order to proceed with this sewer LID. We
would like authorization to proceed with condemnation if we
continue to be unsuccessful in our negotiations. The Committee
unanimously recommended approval.

SPECIAL POPULATIONS GOLD MEDAL AWARD
Wilson announced that he just returned from the National Recreation
and Park Conference held in Baltimore, where the City of Kent Parks
Department was awarded a national award for the Special Populations
program. He said that only two such awards are given out in the
United States. Kent competed against all cities with populations
less than 200, 000.
Wilson reported that Kent Parks Department has won three national
awards: the Gold Medal Award for overall operations, the Dorothy
Mullen Award for Cultural Arts, and the national award for the
Special Populations program.
The committee viewed the slide show which was submitted for the
award.
BUDGET ADJUSTMENT FOR SPECIAL POPULATIONS YOUTH AT RISK PROJECT
Wilson began by comparing Parks Department budget cuts with Human
Services budget cuts.
He assured the committee that he was not asking for an end run on
the budget but for budget consideration if monies are available in
the future. He said that the program will be hurt if the Youth at
Risk Coordinator position does not remain at full time status and
the half time clerical position is not retained.
Wilson said staff immediately realized that the position was a full
time position, so the department took monies gained from hiring the
Youth at Risk Coordinator late and brought the employee in on a
full time basis. Now at the end of the year, the department is
Parks Committee Minutes
October 22, 1991
Page Two
caught in the trap of having a full time position which will have
to be dropped back to 3/4 RPT unless a solution is determined.
Wilson explained for the Committee that when the fourth floor was
remodeled, the entire Cultural staff moved to the fourth floor,
which included a part-time clerical position housed at the Resource
Center.
Staff presented four options for funding and recommended Option 2,
to increase program fees from $60 to $70 a week to fund the Youth
at Risk Coordinator position at full time. This increase in fees
would generate an additional $13, 000 in revenue (see attachment) .
Wilson said that with an increase in fees, the department can cover
the funding of the Youth at Risk Coordinator position at full time,
but requested future consideration for funding the . 5 RPT clerical
position.
Hansen commented that the issue has been to the IBC twice. He
admitted that this is a tough issue, but the IBC does not consider
the value of the program or the value of staff as the issue, but .
rather the $6 million deficit and the hiring moratorium. He said
that the IBC will not support any replacements or additional
positions.
Both Kathy Mohle, a single parent, and Carolyn Wiley of Neely-
O'Brien Elementary spoke very highly of the Youth at Risk program
and urged the committee to find additional funding.
Hansen added that when the reorganization was originally proposed
to the IPC, the committee was concerned that the Parks Department
would come back and ask that the position be replaced. He said
that the committee did not want to approve anything which would
later have a financial impact.
White said that there have been other exceptions since the hiring
freeze and pointed out that 1, 800 day campers and youths at risk
are affected by this program.
In response to White's question, Hansen responded that
Administration would not be willing to allow the Parks Department
to increase fees to fund the position at full time. He said that
there is a moratorium on hiring and that this policy must be
applied citywide for nine departments.
Dowell questioned why departments aren 't allowed to increase fees
to fund a position or program. Hansen responded that what
departments depict as costs are rather simplified and there are
Parks Committee Minutes
October 22, 1991
Page Three
additional costs. These additional costs have contributed to the
deficit.
Johnson moved to authorize the Parks Department to increase program
fees from $60 to $70 a week to fund the Youth at Risk Coordinator
as a full time position (Option 2) ; and in the interim, the
Resource Center will have to do without the half time position.
White seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
Wilson said that he will continue to work with King County to see
if funds are available. He asked if the Parks Department could use
funds from King County to fund the . 5 RPT clerical position if
funds are available. His question was never answered.
LIGHTING AT LAKE FENWICK
Catie Larson and other residents of the Lake Fenwick neighborhood
were present to request lighting at Lake Fenwick Park, in the
unimproved parking lot at the north end and along the park area of
Lake Fenwick Road.
Jack Ball reported that the project will require three separate
services totaling $18, 000.
Wilson said that he was instructed by the Mayor to bring the issue
up with Council so that it would become a priority at a later date.
White asked staff to explore whether Puget Power would consider
making lights in the park street lights and consider a lease
situation with the City.
Catie Larson requested that the City close off the north parking
lot at dusk in the meantime.
The Committee directed staff to come back to the next meeting with
options for lighting and closing off the parking lot. Staff was
also asked by the committee to make contact with the residents of
the area to let them know what is being done.
Mr. Clark commented that there are trees in the lake which are
dangerous and requested that they be removed. Jack Ball assured
Mr. Clark that his staff will get to this type of project as winter
approaches.

Signature Point
Mr. McClintock, manager of Valley Apartments, spoke to the
Committee concerning the construction of the Signature Point
Apartments. He indicated that during the road construction
residents of his apartments have had to live with constant dust,
damage has been done to the parking lot and building of Valley
Apartments. Mr. McClintock indicated that the owner of the
building and the tenants feel someone should be responsible for the
damage done. Wickstrom indicated the developer of the Signature
Point apartments is rebuilding Holly Road. The City' s inspectors
have previously red-tagged the project. Mr. McClintock indicates
that the contractor waters the road when the inspector is around
but stops when he leaves. It was determined that claims should be
filed with the City Clerk for damages. Tom Brubaker indicated the
claims would be referred to our insurance carrier who will
determine liability. Wickstrom indicated we would not accept the
project until the claims are resolved.
Reith Road
Steve Kartchner asked about constructing a right hand turn lane at
the bottom of Reith Road. Ed White indicated that the backup only
occurs one hour a day and only about 10-15% of the traffic are
turning right and in order to properly accommodate the right hand
turn movements; the right hand turn lane would have to be
constructed up to the top of the hill . Mr. Kartchner suggested
using the side of the road that is already paved. Ed White
referred to the safety factors involved in using the shoulder. Jim
White stated he felt a short term solution would be to widen the
road at the bottom to allow the right hand turns. Mr. Kartchner
suggested just posting the road to allow the right hand turns. Ed
White commented he was concerned about the safety issues involved
in doing that and did not feel it warranted. Jim White asked that
Ed White come up with a long term solution to the problem, develop
costs, etc. and bring it back before the Committee.

Steve Dowell commented about the types of issues that are being
brought before the various Council committees. He expressed
concern that more and more administrative details are coming before
the committees and that the committee charges are to set policy and
make decisions based on staff recommendations.
Valley College
Ron Mikulski, president of Valley College, stated that Valley
College was licensed by the State this year as a four year college.
He added they have several facilities throughout downtown Kent. He
requested that the City place approximately four directional signs
in agreed upon locations directing traffic to Valley College. He
stated he has seen similar types of signs in other communities.
Dowell expressed concerns about the City providing the signs for a
private school. Jim White commented that he thought Northwest
College in Kirkland purchased their own signs because they are a
private facility. Gary Gill added that King County will allow non-
profit organizations to pay for signs and the County will mount
them. Carol Morris indicated these types of signs fall under the
street occupation ordinance. Ed White clarified that was for a
permit to place the signs. That permit does not indicate the City
would purchase or construct the signs. The signs would have to be
provided by the applicant. It was determined that Mr. Mikulski
should work with Ed White on this issue.
Street Occupation ordinance
Jim Nelsen indicated he was addressing the Committee from two
perspectives, that of an active realtor in the area and president
of Seattle-King County Association of Realtors Southeast Council.
He commented that Ordinance 2998 would cause major chaos in the
real estate industry and would cause inconvenience for owners who
are trying to market their property. He requested that real estate
related signs be exempt from the ordinance. Wickstrom clarified
that prior to the ordinance no signs were allowed in the public
right of way including real estate signs. This ordinance does
allow those signs in the right of way but requires a permit to do
SO. Ed White added that staff is in the process of developing fee
recommendations and it is proposed that for real estate signs an
initial fee of $75 be charged plus $5 for each sign rather than a
$75 permit fee for each sign. Carol Morris suggested that she
meet with Mr. Nelsen to fully explain the ordinance and to get his
input on the resolution setting the fees. Mike Spence,
governmental affairs director and legal counsel for Seattle-King
County Association of Realtors, made comments concerning the
process identified in the ordinance. Carol Morris clarified that
the process in the ordinance covers a wide range of needs and that

real estate signs would not necessarily have to go through each
step. Spence said he would like to have it clarified in the
ordinance. He then continued about the importance of signs to the
real estate industry. He stated that in Bellevue the industry
polices itself. There are three signs allowed in public right of
way for each open house, only during the time of the open house,
not on utility poles and must be removed at night. When these
rules are violated, the City notifies the realty office and the
realtors association. In the industry, they agree that if one
agent sees a sign improperly placed that agent will pick up the
sign and return it to the realtor. They prefer it that way so they
do not lose any of their signs. Carol Morris reiterated that she
would be happy to work with them to address their concerns in the
resolution. Steve Dowell indicated he feels this ordinance is
going to be a continual source of difficulty. Tom Brubaker added
that prior to this ordinance being developed he had been working
with a member of the maintenance staff on the disposition of the
200+ real estate signs that had been confiscated. Mr. Spence and
Mr. Nelsen will work with Ed White and Carol Morris to address the
concerns of the real estate industry with this ordinance.
94th Avenue Storm Drainage System Improvements
Wickstrom stated that the analysis of the storm drainage system on
James Street determined it had capacity to intercept the drainage
from the Hilltop area. Construction of the drainage improvements
needed on 94th . would cost approximately $90, 000. This would
intercept the drainage at the culvert on 94th, take it to the James
Street system to an outlet into Mill Creek. Wickstrom clarified
this will take the drainage to Mill Creek sooner than it now
reaches it. Dowell asked if that would put more water on Central.
Leona Orr asked if it would impact those homes along Mill Creek
that have drainage problems now. Wickstrom indicated it would be
hard to determine if this diversion would make an impact on that
area. Dowell asked if we had a plan to solve all the drainage
problems. Wickstrom indicated we have already invested $1 million
in the Upper Mill Creek. The six year financial plan for the
drainage utility which will be brought before Council soon includes
a $26 million improvement program. The first year 's emphasis is
the lagoon conversion. The second year' s emphasis will include an
analysis of the erosion problems and how to achieve higher storage.
Wickstrom reiterated that the storms you are asking us to address
exceed the design standards we have in place. Leona Orr asked if
something could be done in the interim to increase the capacity of
Mill Creek. Wickstrom stated that finding storage is another
problem. He has proposed funding the analysis needed on the Mill
Creek system for 1992 . The drainage channel north of James Street
is the responsibility of Drainage District #1. That channel is

probably reduced by siltation. Plus, we have been dealing with 75
to 100 year storm events which is beyond our design standards.
Leona Orr stated she had spoken with Morgan Llwellyn about this as
he is a commissioner of Drainage District #1. He indicated that
the District may disband. She questioned who would have control
over the channel if that happened. After considerable further
discussion, the Committee unanimously recommended proceeding with
the 94th Avenue storm system improvements.
Parking Ordinance
Carol Morris explained that she drafted the ordinance in this form
to consolidate all the ordinances on No Parking into one. She
suggested she redraft this ordinance to eliminate the street names
in the ordinance that is codified only stating that there is no
parking in those areas so posted and to list the streets in a
separate ordinance. She continued that no new streets have been
added to the No Parking designations. The definition of the 15-
minute parking zones has been changed to the definition for loading
zones so that those areas do not state a period of time but just
for the loading and unloading of property or passengers. The tow-
away section is what was previously discussed so that now when a
tow-away area is posted, the cars can be towed. The penalty
section has been changed eliminating a reduced penalty for those
not requesting a mitigated or contested hearing. The Committee
unanimously recommended that the ordinance be redrafted to exclude
the street names from the ordinance to be codified and that a
separate ordinance be developed specifically identifying the
streets on which there is a no parking designation.
