PUBLIC Employee of the Month. Mayor Kelleher announced
COMMUNICATION that George Jett from the Operations Division of
Public Works has been selected as the Employee of
the Month for December. Tim Heydon, Public Works
Operation Manager, noted that George began his
career with the City in L980 as a maintenance
worker and in 1985 was assigned the duties as a
Control Center Technician. He stated that George
puts forth a very professional attitude to the
public and gives fellow employees confidence in
knowing the information they receive is both
accurate and complete.
Mr. Heydon further noted that during inclement
weather conditions, George is a great help to the
Street Division by keeping accurate records, dis-
patching equipment and keeping abreast of condi-
tions that require prioritization. "George is
definitely a team player and goes out of his way
to obtain additional information to make every-
one ' s job easier. " He stated that George proves
his dedication and loyalty to the City of Kent
daily, by responding to any task as a challenge
and staying with a problem until it is resolved.
Mayor Kelleher presented George Jett with the
Employee of the Month plaque.
Drunk and Drugged Driving Awareness Week. Mayor
Kelleher read a proclamation declaring the week of
December 7 - 13 , 1991 as Drunk and Drugged Driving
Awareness Week. He noted that drunk driving
causes more violent deaths and injuries than any
other crime, and that the tragedies caused by im-
paired drivers touch the lives of countless
citizens. Mayor Kelleher urged all citizens to
remember: Friends Don ' t :Let Friends Drive Drunk.

December 3 , 1991
CITY CODE City Attorney Lubovich noted that many ordinances
and resolutions appear on tonight ' s agenda in
preparation of a final clean-up for the new City
Code. He explained that Municipal Code Corpora-
tion has been working on a new code since August
of 1989 . He also pointed out that certain items
on the agenda should be considered with others,
rather than individually, such as Items 3K, 3L and
3M, and Items 4A through 4G, since they are re-
lated to one another.
(CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 3K)
REMOVED BY COUNCILMEMBER WHITE
Procurement and Contract Authorization. Adoption
of an ordinance enacting rules and procedures for
non-public works purchases, rentals and leases.
Upon White' s question, Lubovich explained the
background of the procurement ordinance, noting
that the City has the option of developing its own
ordinance. White questioned the figures in the
ordinance, and Lubovich explained that $7500 and
$15 , 000 were used because that is what the State
uses. Lubovich also noted that this ordinance
would provide flexibility, accountability and con-
sistency. White stated that he is not happy with
the figures and MOVED for adoption of this item,
changing the $7500 figure to $500 and the $15, 000
figure to $1, 000 . Dowell. seconded. White com-
mented that those changes would result in better
control , and clarified that it is his intent that
the Mayor approve any contract over $500 . Upon a
question from Houser, Hansen said the cost of the
bid process can easily exceed $1, 000 . Fire Chief
Angelo stated that it is not uncommon for the Fire
Department to go over $500 in one order for such
things as medical supplies . He added that if the
Mayor is required to sign all contracts over $500,
his paperwork would greatly increase. Houser
offered to take this item back through the Opera-
tions Committee and discuss the figures to be
used. White agreed and withdrew his motion,
adding that the City must. have accountability.
City Attorney Lubovich pointed out that since
Items L and M are relatec, to this item, they
should also be considered by the committee.
2
December 3 , 1991
CITY CODE (CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 3L)
Public Works Improvements. Adoption of an
ordinance for technical amendment to code to bring
Public Works authority section into conformance
with current State statutes. Pursuant to State
law, cities with a population of over 20 , 000 are
required to follow public works procedures set
forth in RCW 35 . 22 . 620 . Our current code refer-
ences RCW 35 . 23 . 352 for cities under 20, 000 popu-
lation. This ordinance will bring the City in
conformance with State law. Lubovich pointed out
that the code presently deals with cities under
20, 000 in population and that Kent is now over
that. This item was referred back to committee
along with Items 3K and 3M.
(CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 3M)
REMOVED BY COUNCILMEMBER WHITE
Planning Department Consultant Contracts.
Adoption of an ordinance which would delete a
paragraph in the existing code that requires
Council to hire and negotiate salaries for all
consultants hired by Planning Department. Once
deleted, all consultant hiring must occur
according to the rules and procedures of the new
procurement ordinance.
White questioned the first page of the proposed
ordinance which states that the City Council shall
not approve any planning consultant until the
Planning Department has made a recommendation to
the Council concerning the scope of work to be
undertaken by the consultant. He said he is
uncomfortable taking this out of the ordinance,
and MOVED to send Items 3K, 3L and 3M to the Oper-
ations Committee. House- seconded and the motion
carried.
(OTHER BUSINESS - ITEMS 4A-4G)
Mayor Kelleher noted receipt of a letter from the
Chamber of Commerce stating that Other Business
Items A through G had not been publicly discussed
and, therefore, they did not have an opportunity
to provide input. Lubovich explained that the
Business License Ordinance (Item 4A) and the
Hearing Examiner ordinance (Item 4B) were dis-
cussed by the Planning committee earlier this
3
December 3 , 1991
CITY CODE date, and that Items 4C amending Fire Code Fees
ordinance, 4D amending Plumbing Code Fees
ordinance, 4E amending Building Code Fees
ordinance, 4F amending Mechanical Code Fees
ordinance, and 4G adopting Fire, Plumbing,
Building and Mechanical Code Fees resolution had
gone to the Public Safety Committee last week.
Lubovich noted that Council recently requested
that the issue of business license revocation be
handled by staff rather than Council , and that
that change appears in the proposed ordinance. He
also outlined other changes to the ordinance, and
explained for Dowell that the issue of fees would
be covered by a resolution. He clarified for
Dowell that licenses would not be transferrable.
Dowell noted that according to the proposed ordi-
nance, a business license is not reinstatable for
one year after it has been revoked. He pointed
out that this would put a company out of business
for a year, and asked that the committee consider
this. White noted that the public must be aware
of issues such as these, so that there is no
impression that the City is working behind closed
doors.
WOODS MOVED that Items 4A through 4G be sent to
their respective committees, that the Chamber be
provided information on the items and informed of
the meeting times, and that the items be scheduled
for the December 17th Council meeting. Johnson
seconded. Motion carried.
CONSENT WOODS MOVED that Consent Calendar Items A through
CALENDAR S be approved, with the exception of Items C, K, M
and N which were removed by Councilmember White,
and Item D which was removed by City Attorney
Lubovich. Houser seconded and the motion carried.

year maintenance period.
STREETS (BIDS - ITEM 5A)

November 15 . Four bids were received, three of
which were non-responsive bids due to errors in
their submittals . The remaining bid was submitted
by Action Building Maintenance, Inc. in the amount
of $131, 468 . After review of the alternatives of
this contract, it has been recommended to IBC, the
Public Works Committee and Operations Committee
that the contract be awarded with the additional
funds needed being taken from the Sewerage Util-
ity.
Wickstrom noted that the only recommendation from
committees was that the utility budget not be
changed and the existing budget be used.
WHITE MOVED that the bid submitted by Action
Building Maintenance, Inc. in the amount of
$131, 468 be accepted and the contract for the
street sweeping service be awarded. Orr seconded
and the motion carried.
TRAFFIC (CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 3R)
CONTROL Model Traffic - ordinance. ADOPTION of Ordinance
No. 3017 repealing ordinances adopting by refer-
ence certain provisions of the State traffic code
regarding traffic and speed limit regulation, and

as Kent ' s traffic code and further allowing for
traffic speeds to be adopted by resolution.
(CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 3S)
Vehicular Speed Limits. ADOPTION of Resolution

Code, the City may determine speed limits after a
5
December 3 , 1991
TRAFFIC traffic investigation and thereafter declare maxi-
CONTROL mum speed limits on particular streets by

limits on individual streets out of the Code and

approved by Council at its September 17 , 1991
Council meeting. The purpose behind multi-family

and improve the overall quality of residential
development in the City. Certain design criteria
have been tailored with this purpose in mind, and
are adopted in this ordinance to be used by the
Planning Department in the review and approval of
multi-family development in certain zoning dis-
tricts of the City.
LICENSES (CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 30)
Repealing Security Guard Ordinance. ADOPTION of
Ordinance No. 3016 repealing Kent City Code relat-
ing to private security guard regulation. Recent
State law (Chapter 334 , Laws of 1991) takes exclu-
sive control over licensing and regulation of
private security guard services. Consequently,
City Ordinance No. 2387 (Kent City Code Chapter
5. 23) is pre-empted.
6
December 3 , 1991
CITY CODE (CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 3D)
REMOVED AT THE REQUEST OF CITY ATTORNEY LUBOVICH
General Penalty Ordinance. ADOPTION of Ordinance
No. 3013 amending City ' s general penalties provi-
sion consistent with authority provided by State
law.
City Attorney Lubovich noted that State law allows
a penalty of up to $5 , 000 or one year in jail, and
that the City Code shows $500 or six months in
jail . He explained that the proposed ordinance
excludes "Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in the adopted code or statute, the appropriate
penalty for any and all violations of any adopted
code or statute shall be a fine in any sum not
exceeding five hundred dollars or by imprisonment
for a term not exceeding six months or both such
fine and imprisonment" and adds "Unless otherwise
specifically provided for in the Kent City Code,
any violation of any of the provisions of the Kent
City Code by any person, firm or corporation,
their agents or servants, shall constitute a mis-
demeanor punishable by a fine of a sum not
exceeding five thousand dollars or by imprisonment
not exceeding twelve months or by both such fine
and imprisonment. " WOODS MOVED to adopt Ordinance
No. 3013 as revised. Mann seconded and the motion
carried.
BICYCLING (CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 3N)
ISSUES REMOVED BY COUNCILMEMBER WHITE
Bicycle Advisory Board. Adoption of an ordinance
organizing a board to advise the City on various
bicycling issues, specifically including bicycle
safety, bicycle pathways and bicycle commuting.
White noted that the proposed resolution provides
for staffing this board with people from Engineer-
ing, Parks, Police, Planning and Finance, and
voiced concern regarding the fiscal impact. The
Mayor explained that those people would not have
their hours increased, and White pointed out that
serving on this board would take them off some
other job. He requested a list of all boards,
commissions, and committees.
Mann stated that the board shall be composed of no
more than eleven members to serve terms of one and
7
December 3 , 1991
BICYCLING two years, and that the board shall serve under
ISSUES the direction of the Mayor subject to Council
directives and shall receive technical support
from City staff. He pointed out that the board
members should consist of representatives of
bicycling organizations, bicycle dealers, business
organizations concerned with safety, and inter-
ested private citizens . He noted that these
people would be willing to sacrifice their time
and energy to be on the board. He stated that
there is most likely someone from each department
who is a bicycle enthusiast who would like to
serve on the board. MANN THEN MOVED for the adop-
tion of Resolution No. 1298 organizing a board to
advise the City on various bicycling issues,
specifically including bicycle safety, bicycle
pathways, and bicycle commuting. White seconded.
Mann explained for White that he would like to
have department heads ask for volunteers within
their department to take part in this board, and
that they would not be reimbursed. Dowell sug-
gested deleting Section 3 which lists the various
departments and leaving it up to volunteers from
the departments. Mann said he feels it is impor-
tant that someone from Engineering serve on the
board to coordinate with the board as new roads
are built. Houser suggested that the Engineering
Department be the lead, with volunteers from other
departments. White offered a friendly amendment
to the motion as follows: The following staff
members shall be nonvoting members of the Advisory
Board and shall be volunteers and shall provide
technical assistance and provide input as needed.
Mann agreed to the amendment.
Dowell stated that he feels it is not right for
the Council to tell departments that they must
volunteer. White again voiced concern about staff
time, and noted that if no one from a particular
department volunteers, then that department is not
represented on the board. Orr stated that the
board is interested in receiving technical infor-
mation from the departments, not necessarily in
having a staff member at each meeting. Dowell
said that because the proposed resolution states
that staff members shall be nonvoting members of
the board, that they would assume they must attend
8
December 3 , 1991
BICYCLING all board meetings. He reiterated his feeling
ISSUES that Section 3 should be eliminated. Johnson
agreed and said that the proposed resolution does
not accomplish any more than an existing Council
committee could. Mann stated that cooperation is
needed between the board and at least the Engi-
neering Department and CHANGED HIS MOTION to state
in Section 3 that Engineering staff members and
other departments may provide technical assistance
and input as needed. White accepted the change in
language.
The Mayor clarified for White that although there
would be no fiscal impact, there would be an
impact on service level . White pointed out that
this board would be an additional impact. Dowell
stated that even with the motion as revised, it
would still cost money. DOWELL THEN MOVED to
amend the motion by eliminating the first para-
graph of Section 3 through Item E, leaving in the
section after Item E. White seconded. The Mayor
recommended that the resolution indicate that no
staff serve on the board, if that is Dowell ' s in-
tent; Dowell confirmed that it is. He explained
that he would like the board to be able to go to
staff with questions, but it should not be incum-
bent upon staff to volunteer or attend board
meetings. Dowell ' s amendment was defeated with
Dowell , White and Johnson in favor and Woods, Orr,
Houser and Mann opposed.
Johnson pointed out that if a citizen has a speci-
fic concern, they can go to the Public Works Com-
mittee and request it, and that a new board is not
necessary. John Strike stated that bicycle access
had been cut off to a bicycle bridge and that he
came to the City and proposed that a cut be put in
the curb so that bicycles could use it again, but
that no action has been taken. He also noted that
the new library installed the worst type of
bicycle rack and installed it in an area which is
not covered. He noted that Meeker Street is im-
possible to ride on because of the gravel on it
and the sloped driveways on the sidewalks.
9
December 3 , 1991
BICYCLING Phil Miller, Coordinator of the King County Road
ISSUES Share Program, noted that the County staffs their
committee. He said that although usable standards
already exist, many governments have not followed
through with them. He said that their advisory
committee has saved a great deal of money simply
by identifying issues and providing conflict reso-
lution before projects take place, and that other
county agencies come to the advisory group for
input and participation. He said the advisory
committee is a vital link whether staff is volun-
tary or not, and that interaction between the com-
mittee and staff is essential. He noted that
there is a strong business connection in Kent and
that there are a number of sources for funding of
staff including the Department of Ecology and the
State Energy Office. He added that individual
businesses interested in the program may also pro-
vide funds. Miller offered to serve in an ex-
officio capacity on Kent ' s board.
Upon Dowell ' s question, Mayor Kelleher stated that
there will be no additional staff hired at this
time.
The motion to adopt Resolution No. 1298 as amended
by Mann then carried, with Johnson and Dowell
opposed.
SENIOR (OTHER BUSINESS - ITEM 4H)
HOUSING Senior Housing Contract. The final contract of
sale for the Senior Housing Project between the
City, the Bellewood Corporation and the King
County Housing Authority requires City Council
approval before construction can commence.
Council is asked to pass an ordinance approving
the contract and authorizing its execution.
Assistant City Administrator Hansen noted that
approval of this contract will allow construction
to commence on the City' s most significant down-
town revitalization project for 1992 , and that it
will be an outstanding facility. He added that
completion is scheduled for the fall of 1992 . He
also noted that major budget changes include
receipt of a housing trust fund loan commitment
for $265 , 200 and a housing opportunity fund grant
for $250, 000 . He listed items provided by these
10
December 3 , 1991
SENIOR funds as two additional units, additional building
HOUSING space, increase of frail elderly units to 18 ,
additional concrete walks, extension of water main
for improved fire flow, gas fireplace in entry
lounge area, State Energy Code window replacement,
State Energy Code unit air change fans and timers,
and heating, ventilating and air conditioning.
Hansen noted for White that he and Roger Lubovich
negotiated for the City, Dean Chausee negotiated
for the Bellewood Corporation, and Jim Wiley nego-
tiated for the Housing Authority.
HOUSER MOVED for the adoption of Resolution No.
1300 with the contract to be signed by Council
President Woods as Mayor Pro Tem, approving the
Contract of Sale for the Kent Senior Housing Pro-
ject and authorizing its execution. Woods sec-
onded and the motion carried.

for the Mayor to sign the Interlocal Cooperative
Agreement between the City of Kent and Kent School
District No. 415 for the development of Scenic

FIRE (CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 3I)
DEPARTMENT Repealing Smoke Detectors Ordinance. ADOPTION of
Ordinance No. 3015 repealing Kent City Code pro-
visions relating to smoke detectors . Kent City
Code Sections 14 . 04 . 030 through 14 . 04 . 090 (Ordi-
nance 2082) relating to the installation of smoke
detectors in dwelling units that are not owner-
occupied. The requirements of these sections are
less restrictive than State law on the same sub-
ject (RCW 48 . 48 . 140) , and are therefore pre-empted.
FINANCE (CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 3B)
Approval of Bills. Approval of payment of the
bills received through December 1, 1991, after

1991 Accounts Receivable Write-offs. Authoriza-
tion is being requested to write-off $54 , 442 . 13 in
accounts receivable, as discussed with the Opera-
tions Committee on November 26, 1991 . The amount
represents approximately . 4% of the monthly
receivable balance of approximately $14 . 6 million.
The amounts to be written off have been through
the City' s collection process. The amounts to be
written off include $22 , 243 in bankrupted accounts
and $17 , 992 in accounts that have been turned over
to the City' s Phase II collection agency. 1991
was the first year the City used a collection
agency. Phase I is a letter writing process
costing $8 . 45 per account. Phase II involves
turning the account over to the collection agency
and receiv-ing 65% to 50% , if the account is
collected, depending upon the City ' s volume of
business.
Finance Director McCarthy noted for White that the
$14 , 600, 000 figure is the receivable balance at
the end of the month, but that some of the items
may have been outstanding for two years . He also
clarified for White that the $5, 471 figure is to
Green River Community College for fees for a golf
program or class. He added that it had been
billed in August and paid in October. White asked
about the procedure on parking tickets, and
McCarthy explained that if an individual has three
unpaid parking citations, the City forwards them
to the State who will not renew the individual ' s
drivers license until the tickets are paid. He
noted that some cities add a penalty as high as
$100, and suggested considering such a penalty.
WHITE THEN MOVED for adoption of Item 3C. Woods
seconded and the motion parried.

1. SUBJECT: POLICE COMPUTER FUNDING
2 . SUMMARY STATEMENT: Approval of funding for the Police
Department Computer. The 1991 budget included $125, 000 to
upgrade the Police Computer. With economic concerns,
Information Services was asked to slow down acquisition costs
and the Police Dept was willing to delay their purchase as they
awaited some vendor software upgrades. The approved City
Computer upgrades moved ahead. Police temporarily used the
City' s old computer for a productivity tool expecting new
equipment 11/91. The Vendor allowed this after giving the City
$47, 120 trade in. When the economic situation worsened CIP
funds were rescinded. With funds rescinded, the City needed to
come up with $47, 120 or find funds to upgrade the Police
Computer. Because of the storage capacity problems, slower
speed, loss of maintenance support, loss of software enhance-
ments, and loss of operational efficiency the Finance Dept,
Information Services, and Police developed the proposed
solution for funding in these tight economic times. The solu-
tion proposed using 91 Information Service savings and reduced
92 computer rental and maintenance costs of $77, 931. This
combined with $110, 000 of unspent criminal justice funds would
provide the upgrade without impacting the general or capital
improvement funds.

1. SUBJECT: Police Computer Funding
2 . SUMMARY STATEMENT: The 1991 budget included $125, 000 to upgrade
the Police Computer. With economic concerns, Information Services
was asked to slow down acquisition costs and the Police Dept was
willing to delay their purchase as they awaited some vendor
software upgrades. The approved City Computer upgrades moved
ahead. Police temporarily used the City' s old computer for a
productivity tool expecting new equipment 11/91. The Vendor
allowed this after giving the City $47, 120 trade in. When the
economic situation worsened CIP funds were rescinded. With funds
rescinded, the City needed to come up with $47 , 120 or find funds to
upgrade the Police Computer. Because of the storage capacity
problems, slower speed, loss of maintenance support, loss of
software enhancements, and loss of operational efficiency the
Finance Dept, Information Services, and Police developed the
proposed solution for funding in these tight economic times. The
solution proposed using 91 Information Service savings and reduced
92 computer rental and maintenance costs of $77 , 931. This combined
with $110, 000 of unspent criminal justice funds would provide the
upgrade without impacting the general or capital improvement funds.

Subject: NEED FOR NEW POLICE CPU
Creator: Mike SWEENEY / KENT70/PD Dated: 11/27/91 at 1232 .
Chief Crawford: (Kelli: Issue on the 12/5 Public Safety Mtg, not inc. this me.
-------------
As a result of the IBC meeting this morning you asked me to provide you with
some of the rationale/justification for the needed NEW police Mini-Computer,
a HP3000/Model 947 . To assist you BEFORE we get into Why? , the current scenario:
In August, because of CRITICAL degradation of system performance, and to thwart
a rebellion from records, dets, crime analysis, jail, I succeeded in getting HP
to "give us free for 4 months" the city's OLD machine that was being replaced
with a new one (like the one we need and for many of the same reasons) . Our
"OLD" machine could no longer SUPPORT the number of users, the volume of use,
the competing demands by all of our divisions for it's small brain (CPU) . It
was beginning to cause DYSFUNCTIONAL operations , simply stated people hit an
enter key to process data entry, call on a name, run a plate, enter a portion
of a booking, THEN WAIT 5 MINUTES in order to continue. We moved temporarily,
to the city's old machine with approval of IBC, because WE THEN HAD THE MONEY
needed to place the order for our real NEW machine in 1992 as budgeted. That
money was then rescinded/withdrawn causing this predicament. The city's old
machine -- loaned to us by HP -- is worth $47K trade in, which unless we make
our order for our new one the city will have to pay OR leave us hanging back to
our old one, WHICH WE HAVE USED FOR 5 YEARS , paid for by PUBLIC SAFETY BONDS not
from the general fund.
Why is the new HP947 machine needed?
1. I think it most important to state first that this need IS NOT an unexpect-
one, IT HAS BEEN ANTICIPATED, BUDGETED FOR SUCCESSFULLY FOR THE PAST 3 YEAI
What has created the problem is the withdrawl of funding for it. No Surprises
have been shipped from our end!
2 PERFORMANCE: a qualitiative term. Our old machine, and to a lesser degree the
city's ola one we are currently using -- WILL NOT PROVIDE now or into the
future an ADEQUATE level of systemwide performance supporting the degree of
thic_ dega snt'a reliance on automated information systems.
S . LOSS OF MAINTENANCE S P We were notified 3 years ago that 30 days from
now -- our software vendor (U. S . West/Command Data Systems) will no longer
allocate staff and resource support to those CLIENTS using OLD TECHNOLOGY
mini-computers. We will NOT be supported in problem resolution, bug fixes,
diagnostics, software utilization, training and DOCUMENTATION of our systems
at the level we are today.
4 . LOSS OF SOFTWARE ENHANCEMENTS : On a quarterly basis, as a CLIENT and becuase
we are TODAY receiving software support, we get UPDATES (fixes to diagnosed
problems) and new release enhancements (software improvements) . In 30 days
we will no longer be eligible/recieve them -- the National Steering Committee
for Software Development I sit on suggests future ideas and innovation which
will deal with software on NEW TECHNOLOGY machines not old ones. If we do not
MIGRATE to the new machine we will not enjoy this important benefit as new
enhancments evolve (and I will resign my seat on the committee) .
5 . LOSS OF OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY: The above issues of support and enhancments .
com5ine with functions Tas-res in efficiency because of the inferior abili
of the CPU to do what we ask it to. Data Entry, Jail Bookings and Releases,
Crime Analysis bulletins, mapping issues, inquiries for criminal history,
WACIC, DOL and Kent Records are SLOWED to a point where continuity in work
task processes are compromised. This is a functional issue striking at the
issue of RESPONSIVENESS/TIMELINESS. We could provide police services to this
community with 40% less police officers, no commanders, and 5 fewer cars
with portable radio's only. How low can we go? This is the analogy --
-�fficiency and performance are qualitiative terms -- the degree to which
they are compromised knowlingly is a judgement call .
To operate without this new machine is not consistent with our current level
of ability in providing services overall -- and I believe would cause staff
dissension and a poor work climate.

Subject: POLICE COMPUTER FUNDING - FISCAL NOTE
Creator: Tony MCCARTHY / KENT70/FN Dated: 11/27/91 at 1434 .
THE 1991 BUDGET INCLUDED $125, 000 TO UPGRADE THE POLICE COMPUTER. WITH THE
ECONOMIC SITUATION IN EARLY 1991, INFORMATION SERVICES WAS ASKED TO
SLOWDOWN ACQUISITION COSTS AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WAS WILLING TO DELAY
THEIR PURCHASE AS THEY AWAITED SOME VENDOR SOFTWARE UPGRADES . THE APPROVED
CITY COMPUTER UPGRADES MOVED AHEAD AS THE CITY WAS ONLY IN A SLOWDOWN AND NOT
A FREEZE. WHEN THE CITY COMPUTER ARRIVED, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT ASKED AS AN
INTERIM PRODUCTIVITY TOOL FOR THE USE THE OLD CITY COMPUTER. THE COMPUTER
VENDOR AGREED ALLOWING THE CITY TO TEMPORARILY KEEP THE OLD COMPUTER AFTER
GIVING THE CITY A $47 , 120 TRADE IN ALLOWANCE. EVERYONE THOUGHT THE NEW
POLICE COMPUTER WOULD BE ACQUIRED IN NOVEMBER 1991.
THE ECONOMIC SITUATION WORSENED AND UNSPENT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUNDS WERE
RESCINDED. WITH FUNDS RESCINDED, THE CITY MUST NOW COME UP WITH THE $47 , 120
TRADE IN ALLOWANCE OR FIND THE MONEY TO UPGRADE THE POLICE COMPUTER. THE
POLICE DEPARTMENT FEELS THAT BECAUSE OF NEW SYSTEM CAPACITY, SPEED AND
SOFTWARE VENDOR MAINTENANCE, THE UPGRADE SHOULD BE MADE. SINCE THE COMPUTER
IS USED ON ALL ASPECTS OF LAW ENFORCEMENT, IT MAKES THE WORK OF ALL
DEPARTMENT PERSONNEL MORE EFFICIENT. THE EXISTING SYSTEM IS HAVING STORAGE
PROBLEMS WITH ALL CASES ENTERED INTO THE SYSTEM. THE NEW SYSTEM IS ALSO 10
TIMES FASTER THAN THE OLD POLICE COMPUTER AND 2 . 5 TIMES FASTER THAN THE OLD
CITY COMPUTER NOW BEING USED BY POLICE. THIS SLOWS DOWN ALL DATA ENTRY AND
RETRIVAL WHICH MAKES FOR INEFFICIENT USE OF BOTH POLICE OFFICER AND POLICE
STAFF. IN ADDITION THE SOFTWARE VENDOR WILL NOT PROVIDE SYSTEM ENHANCEMENTS
FOR THE OLD COMPUTER AND THE OLD COMPUTER'S MAINTENANCE COSTS ARE A_PPROXIMATEL1
$14 , 000 PER YEAR HIGHER.
BECAUSE OF THIS THE IBC WAS DESIRIOUS OF FINDING A FUNDING SOLUTION IN TIGHT
ECONOMIC TIMES . THE SOLUTION DEVELOPED PROPOSES THE USE OF 1991 INFORMATION
SERVICES SAVINGS AND REDUCED 1992 COMPUTER RENTAL AND MAINTENANCE COSTS
TOTALLING $77 , 931 AND COMBINING THAT WITH $110, 000 OF UNSPENT CRIMINAL JUSTICE
FUNDS. NEITHER OF THESE SOURCES IMPACTS THE GENERAL OR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT
FUNDS . BASED ON THIS THE IBC RECOMMENDS THE APPROPRIATE BUDGET CHANGE TO FUND
THE POLICE COMPUTER HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE.

Sea-Tar_ Sewer Service Aqr eement
Wickstrom delineated on the map included in the Committee's packet
the location of the service area and explained that when Sea-Tac
incorporated it included part of the area the City was already
serving and a portion of the basin we were going to serve. In
order to provide service to those properties now requires us to
execute a franchise agreement with Sea-Tac. Wickstrom continued
that the City built the sewer in this area some time ago in
conjunction with a grant we had received. White questioned what
the advantage was to Kent to service this area. Wickstrom
responded that we would get the sewer revenues and the line would
be fully utilized. lie added the concept is similar to our sewer
utility servicing property in the county. The customer would be
paying the sewer bill to the City.
Leona Orr asked if we were encouraging the other request by Sea-Tac
by allowing this and were we building any new lines. Wickstrom
explained there is a piece on Military Road that would extend up to
S. 216th which is a future extension but the basin is totally
different and separate from the other request. This area is mostly
residential development with some commercial toward SR 516. White
asked if there were any multifamily housing in the area. Wickstrom
stated Kent already has multifamily developed in that area.
Further discussion followed using the map as a guide. Jim white
inquired about the zoning of the area. Gary Gill stated that he
did nct know what Sea-Tac was proposing for the zoning. After a
phone call to the City of Sea-Tac, it was reported that Sea-Tac's
Comp Plan shows the area as Single Family Suburban Residential 7200
sq. foot minimum lot size. Kent's old West Hill Comp Plan showed
the area as single family. Gill explained further that this action
was precipitated by a request from an existing church to connect to
the sewer. Cellular one wants to put an antenna on their property
and as a condition of their permit they are required to get off
their septic system and connect to sewer. Jim White questioned how
much multifamily was in the area and would w, be encouraging more
multifamily with this action. Gill added that we already have
sewers in the area and these properties abut that existing sewer
system. Jim White asked if we were being consistent by agreeing to
this franchise agreement without knowing what the zoning is of the
area. Gill stated that when the area was in our sphere of interest
we had proposed a small portion of retail near SR 516 and further
north it became low density single family. Leona Orr asked how
much of the area was undeveloped. Gill stated that it is mostly
single family homes and some are on lots that could be subdivided
in the future. Gill added that this agreement simply gives us the
authority to provide sewer service. If the Council wants to have
other conditions attached to issuing permits that could be handled
separately. Jim White asked if we wanted to could we disallow
service for multifamily. Tom Brubaker stated he would have to
research the question but he didn't think the City has the power to
control Sea-Tac's governmental authority. Gill stated this
agreement doesn't mandate that we provide service so Council can
later direct us not to provide service if they so wish. Leona Orr
asked how large the area is. Gill responded :t was approximately
100-150 acres. Steve Dowell moved to approve the agreement. The
Committee unanimously approved.
Storm Drainage Utility
Jim White questioned what action was being requested of the
Committee. Wickstrom responded he was asking for concurrence with
the increase in the drainage utility rate, reduction of the water
rate and absorbing the sewer increase. Dowell asked if the
increase was largely for commercial customers. Wickstrom stated it
was a straight drainage utility increase to finance the 6-year $25
million capital improvement program. There are 17 drainage basins
ana n' Hiffernnt ratoc with an Mb0 ch aree which all basins nay.

RE: Sea-Tac Sewer Service Agreement
s
An interlocal agreement has been developed whereby Kent would be
providing the sanitary sewer service to property within the
vicinity of S. 216th Street and I-5 which is within the Sea-Tac
city limits. The agreement authorizes Kent to construct and
maintain the sewer facilities and to approve any connection
thereto.
It is recommended the Mayor be authorized to sign the agreement.

Turnback Agreement SR 515 - S.E. 240th to S.E. 196th
Wickstrom explained that the State is improving SR 515 . There are
pieces on certain side streets that are in the City. The State
requires that we turn those areas over to them during construction.
After construction is complete, the State will turn back the rights
of way to the City. The Committee unanimously recommended approval
of the agreement.
Street Sweeping Service Bids
Wickstrom stated this item was also on the Council agenda this date
because of the length of hold on the bids. The bid was opened on
November 15 and lapses on December 15 . If we delay the award to
the December 17 meeting we might have to begin this three year
contract with negotiations and the City Attorney' s office has
recommended against this . The bid was significantly higher than
the budget. We had originally requested a budget of $150, 000 but
only $60, 000 was approved. Since this is financed from the storm
utility the general fund is not affected. Wickstrom stated that if
the drainage utility rate increase is not approved, there are funds
in the unencumbered balance of the sewerage fund for this. We
looked at cutting back the service level but concluded that might
not save as the same amount of dirt has to be moved, opens the
potential for more dirt to get into the storm system reducing
capacity, and increases air pollution. Tom Brubaker added an
additional problem is that the debris that is being accumulated on
the streets is being considered as hazardous waste more and more
often. Disposal could become a serious problem. He added that the
responsive bidder (Action Building Maintenance) has included
disposal in his bid and has recognized that it might at some time
have to be taken out of state. Leona Orr moved to accept the bid.
The Committee unanimously recommended approval.
Other
Bill Doolittle requested a cross walk from the library to the
parking lot at Harrison and Second and a stop sign at the exit onto
Second.
Leona Orr inquired as to the status of the Tiffany complaint. Gary
Gill stated the street department is cutting the ditch this week.
When that is done, the culvert will be installed across the road
which will take the water off 216th.

RE: Turnback Agreement SR 515- SE 240th to SE 196th
The State is planning to construct an improvement of SR 515
(Benson) between SE 240th and SE 196th Streets. For purposes of
construction of the road, the City will transfer jurisdiction of
rights of way needed for the construction to the State. (See
attached map) Subsequent to completion, the State will transfer
jurisdiction of the improvements back to the City. There will be
no cost to the City for this construction and it is recommended the
Mayor be authorized to sign the agreement.

bject: INSURANCE BROKER SELECTION - FISCAL NOTE
Bator: Tony MCCARTHY / KENT70/FN Dated: 12/09/91 at 0827 .
THE PERSONNEL DEPARTMENT IS REQUESTING AUTHORIZATION TO SELECT AN INSURANCE
BROKER TO SOLICIT IMPROVED PROPERTY INSURANCE COVERAGE AND TO EVALUATE THE
CITY'S LIABILITY INSURANCE PROGRAM. THE PROPERTY COVERAGE COULD BE
EXPANDED TO COVER EARTHQUAKE, FLOOD, BOILER AND MACHINERY COVERAGES WITHIN
THE EXISTING BUDGET OF $115, 925. FOR LIABILITY COVERAGE, THE CITY IS
CURRENTLY THE LARGEST ENTITY IN THE 71 CITY WASHINGTON CITIES INSURANCE
AUTHORITY AND HAS A 1992 ASSESSMENT OF $829 ,883 UP FROM $421, 321 IN 1990 AND
601, 786 IN 1991. BECAUSE OF THIS ESCALATING INCREASE AND THE FACT THAT
KENT IS THE POOL'S LARGEST CITY AND THUS MAY HAVE OUTGROWN IT, STAFF FEELS
THAT A REVIEW IS NEEDED.
TO SELECT A FIRM, A SELECTION COMMITTEE WAS FORMED WHICH REVIEWED 4 PROPOSALS
FROM INSURANCE BROKERS WITH PUGET SOUND OFFICES THAT HAVE EXPERIENCE IN THE
LOCAL GOVERNMENT INSURANCE MARKET. THE COMMITTEE FELT THAT JOHNSON & HIGGINS
WITH OFFICES IN SEATTLE PROVIDED THE BEST PROPOSAL. THEIR PROPERTY INSURANCE
PROPOSAL WILL BE WITHIN THE PROPERTY INSURANCE BUDGET WITH AN ESTIMATED
SAVINGS OF $3 , 000. THEIR LIABILITY INSURANCE PROPOSAL IS AT $100 PER HOUR
AND WILL BE WITHIN THE $8 , 000 BUDGETED IN 1992 FOR A LIABILITY INSURANCE STUDY.
WITH NO UNBUDGETED FISCAL IMPACT, THE IBC RECOMMENDS THE PROPOSAL, NOTING THAT
IF NOTHING ELSE THE STUDY WILL GIVE THE CITY BARGAINING POSITION WITH THE WCIA
IN PROVIDING AN IMPROVED AND MORE COST EFFECTIVE PROGRAM FOR LARGER CITIES .

RE: Insurance Broker Selection Committee Recommendations and
Background Information
The Human Resources Department staff and Administration have
recognized the rapidly escalating cost ' of our Liability insurance
assessments through Washington Cities Insurance Authority (WCIA)
and felt it was time to analyze our options. The analysis approach
was outlined to the Operations Committee on 11/12/91 . They agreed
that liability assessment costs that have increased from $421, 341
in 1990 to $601, 786 for 1991 and $829 , 883 in 1992 need reviewing.
The City of Kent needs to know their options, advantages and
disadvantages of staying in the liability self-insurance pool with
other cities or getting out into a private program by ourselves.
Information to make this decision needs to come from brokers with
proven knowledge and track records in the public entity field.
Broker proposals were taken with the idea of also improving our
existing property and other miscellaneous insurance coverages while
realizing a cost savings at the same time. The City received
proposals from several brokers that in fact provided a cost savings
on our existing programs. The Broker Selection Committee was
impressed with their expertise and ability to produce the analysis
and recommendations the City needs.
The Selection Committee interviewed each of the brokers, evaluated
- their written proposals and then selected the broker we felt was
most qualified. Our recommendations and analysis of each is
attached. We hope the Council will concur with our recommendation
so we can take advantage of the immediate savings and start working
on a liability insurance cost containment program by 1-1-92 .
1. Broker: Johnson & Higgins, Seattle
Votes: 4 . 5 (one Committee member split their vote)
Basic Fee:
Positives: $12 , 000 fee is next to lowest, however, they
will market and place earthquake, flood, plus boiler and
machinery within the basic; Savings of $3 , 000.
Negatives: None noted; very well qualified and staffed;
extensive municipal experiences in handling similar lines
of coverage.
Casualty Study:
Positives: Professional , excellent presentation with
examples of similar studies; have in-house actuarial
personnel ; excellent resources; local personnel and
staffing for government entities ; current experience with
the Association of Washington Cities; fee of $100 per
hour for actuarial time and Casualty Study with all
actuarial costs to be waived should the City elect to
leave the pool for some other form of coverage; the
hourly fee was next to the lowest.
Negatives: None noted; this is a national , well-staffed
professional firm.
overall Services and Abilities:
The committee registered 4 1/2 of the 5 total votes for
this firm based on the above items and the more important
negatives for the other firms as outlined by broker
presentation. See more details of concern for this
observation by the Committee under services for Sedwick
James below.
2 . Broker: Sedwick James, Seattle
Votes: . 5 (1/2)
Basic Fee:
Positives: $10, 000 and lowest fee proposed; they
proposed to treat any proposal on earthquake, flood, plus
boiler and machinery coverage as new lines, not to be
included in the basic fee; Savings of $5000 less fee for
new coverage lines.
Negatives: New coverages purchased, excluding Casualty
and/or Workers Compensation would be an additional fee
based on premium size; no specific guidelines provided--
could be 10% as their basic fee would indicate or could
be more depending upon time and number of quote options
they spend time and effort developing.
Casualty Study:
Positives: Professional ; presented examples of similar
studies including actuarial observations from in-house
staff; good resources with local staffing and experience
in handling government entities; were the WCIA pool
excess carrier and advisor from its inception in 1981
until 1989 .
Negatives: Presentation was hard sell ; your Selection
Committee was not comfortable with the interview as
Sedwick James sent four representatives that left the
committee with an uncertainty as to who has control ;
they did not commit to a remuneration should Kent elect
to stay in WCIA or elect to move to some type of private
or self insured program.
Overall Services and Abilities:
One committee member split their vote over the fact that
this firm is probably every bit as qualified and
professional an organization with local services and
municipal experience as Johnson & Higgins; should the
City of Kent elect not to leave WCIA this broker should
be only $1000 lower in annual fees because of the
additional cost associated with new business. Should
WCIA not offer some alternative program to Kent and we
elected to leave WCIA, the better economies and
confidence in dollars spent for hours of quality work
goes with Johnson & Higgins. The hard sell and no one
person from Sedwick James as the control person was not
comforting; who would we negotiate with for fees ;
Sedwick James negotiates separate fees for liability and
property issues; a third fee issue involves appraisal
and engineering or loss control analysis services.
3 . Broker: Arthur Gallagher & Co. , Denver
Votes: None
Basic fee:
$14 , 250 ; Savings of $750. The selection committee liked
the professional and individual experience of Mr. John P.
McLaughlin very much. Unfortunately he resides in
Denver, Colorado. This firm was invited to submit a
proposal because they are the current broker for the City
of Renton and for Kitsap County except for their
liability program. No votes were recorded because their
fee was the third highest; they can not perform actuarial
observation on WCIA as they do not have in-house services
as do our 1st and 2nd choices ; the expertise is outside
Washington state; and finally, their fee for Casualty
Study would be at $125 per hour and $90 per hour for an
assistant in Denver.
4 . Broker: Bell Anderson, Kent through PENCO (Public Entities
National Company) a division of Willis-Corroon
Votes: None
Basic Fee:
Commission which equates to $15, 000 or more; no savings;
The selection committee did not favor continuing with
this firm because they are not a surplus lines broker and
thus do not have direct access to markets. PENCO is
their exclusive public entity market; they do not have
access to alternate Casualty markets except to contact
other national brokers and share commissions or fees to
access other markets and quotes; they do not have access
to actuarial facilities; they are limited to one casualty
market and limited in Casualty Study resources; as
Kent' s existing broker they have not mentioned nor
presented options or recommendations in recent years for
flood, earthquake or boiler and machinery liability and
physical damage coverage; they proposed a Casualty Study
fee of $70 . 00 per hour without providing the Committee a
comfortable confidence level in the quality of work or
depth of content.

1992 CITY ART PLAN
Project Title: Downtown Murals
Project Description: Continuation of the very successful downtown mural
program. Murals are painted in the downtown area through partnerships between
the City and local businesses. The Arts Commission will manage mural projects
with businesses and/or downtown building owners who renovate their buildings
and/or keep their buildings in excellent repair. Long term wall lease
agreements are signed with building owners. The murals are designed by
artists and painted on the buildings by sign companies or when appropriate,
painted by mural artists. The original artwork will become part of Kent's
portable works collection and will be displayed in Kent public buildings. A
city center art/mural walking tour route will be developed and will include a
map of downtown with mural locations highlighted and mural signage.
Estimated Costs:
1992 Total
$16,000 $16,000
Funding Source: City Art Fund
Background: Kent is now home to eight downtown murals. Murals are both
pedestrian and auto oriented; they can be viewed from a car but by placing a
group of murals within walking distance, pedestrian traffic is created.
Factors Supporting Project:
1. A group of downtown murals will create an outdoor gallery atmosphere and
enhance downtown and create foot traffic.
2. The Mural Program will provide incentive for downtown building owners to
keep their buildings in good repair.
3. A walking tour of murals and art will bring "cultural tourists" to Kent.

eject: 1991 BUDGET ADJUSTMENT ORDINANCES
creator: Mayene MILLER / KENT70/FN Dated: 12/03/91 at 1538 .
TO: OPERATIONS COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: MAY MILLER
THE TOTAL OF THE 1991 BUDGET ADJUSTMENT ORDINANCE IS $12 , 479 , 891. OF THIS
AMOUNT, $10,974,554 HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY APPROVED BY THE COUNCIL BUT IS
INCLUDED HERE TO OFFICIALLY ADJUST THE BUDGET. THE ADDITIONAL AMOUNT OF
$1,505,337 HAS NOT BEEN OFFICIALLY APPROVED BY THE COUNCIL BUT IS NEEDED
TO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE STATE AUDITOR' S REQUIREMENTS . EXCEPT FOR THE
GOLF COMPLEX, THE INDIVIDUAL FUNDS IN QUESTION HAVE GENERATED THE ADDITIONAL
REVENUE OR HAVE ADDITIONAL FUND BALANCE TO COVER THESE EXPENDITURES . IN THE
CASE OF THE GOLF COMPLEX, THE TOTAL LINE OF CREDIT ESTABLISHED IN 1990 AT
$700, 000 NEEDS TO BE REAUTHORIZED. THE 1992 BUDGET AUTHORIZES A TRANSFER OF
$506, 954 FROM THE CIP FUND TO COVER PREVIOUS CONSTRUCTION COSTS. THIS SHOULD
MINIMIZE THE LINE OF CREDIT THE GOLF COMPLEX MAY NEED IN THE FUTURE.
MAJOR ITEMS OF THE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED AMOUNTS ARE:
21832 , 189 FOR LIDS, PRIMARILY LID 336- EAST VALLEY HIGHWAY- S192 TO S180
11015, 200 FOR SENIOR HOUSING ADDITIONAL GRANTS AND INTEREST INCOME.
625, 000 FOR REMODELING LIBRARY FOR POLICE HEADQUARTERS .
31980, 840 FOR CAPITAL PROJECTS-$3 , 643 , 285 STATE GRANTS & 337 , 555 OTHER GRANTS.
2 , 121, 325 FOR WATER & SEWER CAPITAL PROJECTS FROM ENDING FUND BALANCE.
353 , 378 FOR ITEMS APPROVED AS PROJECTS BUT NOT SET UP AS PROJECTS, OR ITEMS
------------ OF OPERATION AS APPROVED BY COUNCIL DURING THE YEAR.
10, 974 , 554
THE $1, 505, 337 NOT PREVIOUSLY APPROVED IS LISTED AS FOLLOWS:
500, 000 FOR PAYMENTS TO METRO FOR SEWAGE TREATMENTS . BUDGETED AMOUNTS DID
NOT ADEQUATELY COVER METRO'S 1/1/91 RATE INCREASE AND THE GROWTH
IN THE CUSTOMER BASE. THE INCREASED RATE WAS PASSED ON TO THE
CUSTOMER SO REVENUE IS GENERATED TO COVER EXPENDITURES .
150, 000 TO COVER INCREASED EXPENDITURES AT THE GOLF COMPLEX FOR OPERATING
COST OVERRUN. THIS IS PRIMARILY TO COVER ITEMS FOR RESALE,
OPERATING SUPPLIES AND PARTTIME SALARIES & BENEFITS. SINCE
REVENUE IS LESS THAN BUDGETED, THE TOTAL LINE OF CREDIT OF
$700, 000 FROM THE GENERAL FUND IS NEEDS TO BE REAUTHORIZED TO
COVER BOTH THE REVENUE SHORTFALL AND THE ADDITIONAL EXPENDITURES.
516, 092 TO COVER INCREASED CLAIM COSTS FOR THE CITY 'S SELF INSURED HEALTH
INSURANCE FUND. $156, 095 OF THIS IS COVERED BY CHARGES TO
DEPARTMENTS WITHIN THEIR EXISTING BUDGETS, WITH THE REMAINING
$360, 000 COMING FROM ENDING FUND BALANCE. IN 1992 INCREASED RATES
ARE IN PLACE FOR BOTH CITY SHARE & EMPLOYEE SHARE TO INSURE A
SOUND INSURANCE RESERVE.
92 , 607 TO COVER INCREASED RATES FROM THE STATE FOR THAT PORTION OF THE
CITIES SELF INSURED LABOR & INDUSTRIES INSURANCE. THE RATES
HAVE BEEN CHARGED TO DEPARTMENTS TO COVER THE COST.
50, 000 TO COVER CENTRAL SERVICE FUND EXPENDITURES BECAUSE OF DEPARTMENTAL
USAGE OF POSTAGE AND PRINTING. DEPARTMENTAL CHARGES COVER
THESE COSTS FROM THEIR OPERATING BUDGETS WITH NO ADDITIONAL
BUDGET CHANGE NEEDED.
196, 638 TO COVER THE COST OF MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS FOR GRANTS AND MINOR
COST OVER RUNS OR PROJECT CLOSING ADJUSTMENTS. ITEMS INCLUDE
$7, 625 INTEREST FOR 1989 GO BONDS, $76, 453 INTEREST FOR DRAINAGE
BONDS AND VALLEY DETENTION PROJECTS, $30, 062 FOR WATER PORTION

$12 , 000 FOR ALUMINUM SITE CLEANUP GRANT, $11, 383 FOR FLOOD
DISASTER CLEANUP GRANT, $60, 000 FOR DOWNTOWN INFRASTRUCTURE
AS APPROVED BY THE 8/7/91 EDC BOARD MEETING AND A TRANSFER OF
$10, 000 OF GARBAGE UTILITY TAX FOR WESTERN PROCESSING CLEAN UP.

The attached agreement proposes to establish a Growth Management
Planning Council of King County. The GMPC will be composed of
members representing the City of Seattle, suburban cities, and King
County. It will be staffed by a coordinator paid for by County
funds, and by an interjurisdictional team comprised of staff
representatives from the cities who are parties to the agreement.
It should be noted that this will not have a budgetary impact on
Kent since existing staff will be dedicated to this team as part of
the City's duties under the Growth Management Act. The purpose of
the GMPC is to develop the county-wide policy to be adopted by King
County and ratified by Seattle and suburban cities.
The Council Planning Committee reviewed this agreement on December
31 1991 and recommended its approval by the full Council.

The Honorable Dan Kelleher, Mayor
City of Kent

Kent, WA 98032
RE: countywide Planning Policies Framework Agreement.
Dear Mayor Kelleher:
Enclosed you will find a proposed interlocal agreement which establishes
the framework and process for developing Countywide planning policies as
required by ReESHB 1025. The recommended process was developed by a group
of six elected officials designated after the September 5, 1991 countywide
meeting, including: Councilmembers Cynthia Sullivan, Bruce Laing (King
County) ; Mayor Norm Rice and Councilmember Jim Street (Seattle) ; Mayor Bob
Roegner (Auburn) ; and Mayor Terry Lukens (Bellevue) .
The main features of the proposed agreement include:
1 . Establishment of the Growth Management Planning Council of King
County (GMPCKC) comprised of elected officials from Seattle, suburban
cities, and King County. The GMPCKC will recommend policies to King
County.
2. A Countywide planning policies adoption and ratification process.
3. Staff policy development by dedicated King County Executive staff and
an interjurisdictional staff group.
4. Public involvement, GMPCKC staffing, and the dedicated staff will be
funded on a regionwide basis from Growth Management Act grant funds.
The Countywide planning policies must be adopted by July, 1992, which
requires an ambitious timeline. It is anticipated that the GMPCKC will
begin meeting in December.
Please review the proposed agreement and refer it to your Council for
action at your earliest convenience. A majority of jurisdictions are
required to agree on the framework in order for the process to begin.
Please notify us when your Council has taken action.
The Honorable Dan Kelleher
October 30, 1991

Public Works Committee

Street Occupation Permit Fee
Dowell stated he felt there was a possible misinterpretation about
the motion that had been made at the last Committee meeting. He
felt the motion referred only to the garage and real estate signs
but the information presented to Council was to approve the
resolution as a whole. Jim White stated that he still was not
convinced that these are the proper fees. He questioned why the
fee was established at $75. He also questioned the permit for
installation of -retaining walls and rockeries. Dowell asked why we
would charge a fee if people are attempting to improve or beautify
the area. Dowell stated it seems like this started out with
someone wanting to put a sign up in front of his business and it
has grown to this magnitude. Ed White stated that the ordinance
was based on the theory that the City has the responsibility to
manage public property just like a private property owner would
manage his property. This would include anything that is on or
above City right-of-way. As a street use occupation permit,
anything that travels on or is constructed within public right-of-
way has to be regulated and we have attached a fee to everything we
feel can either travel over or be placed within City right-of-way.
Dowell asked who takes care of signs that are on private property
but project over public property. Ed White stated that that
portion of the sign that touches private property would be under
the jurisdiction of the Planning Department and that portion over
the public right-of-way would be the responsibility of the Public
Works Department. Jim White stated he could support it but it will
have a lower fee structure when he gets through with it.
Russ Stringham asked why it was being discussed again. Dowell
stated the motion made by Leona was not to approve the resolution
as a whole only with that portion dealing with the garage sale
permits and real estate signs. Leona Orr stated she thought the
motion she was making was to approve the schedule with those
changes. Apparently, Mr. Dowell and Mr. White did not understand
the motion in that context. Bill Doolittle addressed again he felt
a distinction should be made between real estate signs and
apartment rental signs. Real estate signs are removed when the
agent goes home at night but apartment rental signs are displayed
for a long term period. Jim White .stated he felt apartment rental
signs fall into the category of portable signs.
Dowell stated he didn't think there should be fees ,at all. He
stated he would vote against any fee schedule. He had voted for
the original ordinance. Wickstrom added that processing these
permits will take staff time away from other duties. Dowell stated
he appreciated that but administration could find the money out of
the citizen's tax dollars. Dowell moved that the fees for the
Public Works Department Street occupation Permits be eliminated.
Jim White seconded the motion. Leona Orr stated the concern she
would have is that, if we aren't going to have any fees, is the
staff going to approve any signs or will they say they don't have
time to do it because they have more pressing items to deal with.
Russ Stringham stated he felt it was incumbent on the business
owner to make it as easy for the City as possible to fill out the
permit as completely as possible. He indicated he communicates
with a lot of the other business owners and would police it as best
he could. He continued he felt it was important that an
application be submitted for public safety purposes. Wickstrom
added that we are still responsible to police the signs and don't
have any revenue to offset the costs. The motion carried with Jim
White and Steve Dowell voting in favor and Leona Orr voting
against.

Street Lights at The Lakes
Jim White stated he had received a petition regarding street lights
at The Lakes. Apparently some are not working. He indicated he
would be giving the petition to Don Wickstrom and asked that staff
look into the problem.
Fee Schedule - Street Occupation Ordinance
Wickstrom explained that the schedule of fees includes a "no fee"
recommendation for real estate signs in keeping with the Mayor's
request. Leona Orr said she doesn't have a concern about no fee
for them but was wondering about the legality of those signs on the
sidewalks. She said she had noticed in three different locations
within the city limits real estate signs that were completely
blocking the sidewalk access. She questioned if we would be
condoning such actions. Carol Morris responded that they would not
be exempt from the requirements of the ordinance which gives the
Director authority to tell them where they can place the signs.
They shouldn't be blocking sidewalks. Orr wondered if City
personnel would still have authority to pick up the signs if they
were illegally placed. Morris confirmed it would not give the real
estate industry carte blanche to put signs wherever they wanted.
Morris added that we can not regulate signs as to content in the
ordinance. Political signs would be allowed in the right of way if
they obtained the required permit and paid the fees. Bill
Doolittle questioned if real estate signs included the signs used
by apartment complexes to advertise their unit availabilities. He
also questioned the fee for garage sale signs. Orr concurred and
added that the garage sale signs are usually up only for a weekend
and it is unrealistic to expect them to pay $75 for a permit. She
continued that many garage sales don't even make $75. She
recommended the fee for garage sale signs be eliminated. Morris
clarified that removing the reference of garage sale signs in the
resolution would prohibit them from being in the right of way and
that would give staff authority to remove them if they are
illegally placed. Simply removing the fee would mean that they are
allowed and would still need to apply for a permit. It was
determined that the garage sale signs would be removed from the
resolution.
Dowell referred again to the reasoning for exempting real estate
signs from a fee. He continued that he felt the ordinance creates
a situation impossible to police. He commented that he felt the
ordinance has a lot of holes in it. Now signs are allowed on
public property but they are not allowed on private property. He
suggested that the ordinance and fees be eliminated entirely.
Morris commented that the ordinance covers a lot more than just
signs - house moving, etc. She added that if they wished to amend
the ordinance regarding signs that was possible. Don Rust stated
he was going to continue to work with the Planning Committee to
change the ordinance concerning signs on private property. Jim
White questioned whether we needed fees on any of permits. It was
determined that the permit fees were established to cover the
administrative costs of issuing the permit and enforcement of same.
Wickstrom suggested a $75 permit fee per each real estate office
which would provide them with "stickers" for up to a certain number
of signs. It was further suggested that :if the real estate office
wished to permit more than the initial number of signs, they could
purchase stickers for the additional number of signs at the City's
cost to produce the stickers. Mike Spence stated that the real
estate brokers did not have a problem with a yearly fee per office.
Their major concerns were the $5.00 per sign and the process for
getting a permit. Leona Orr's motion was to eliminate yard, moving
and garage sale signs and to charge a $75 per office permit fee for
real estate signs which would entitle them up to 10 signs.
Stickers for additional real estate signs would be available at the
City's cost to produce the stickers. After discussion, the motion
was further amended to allow up to two signs for the $75 fee for
portable signs. The Committee unanimously approved the motion.

Sea-Tac Sewer Service Agreement
Wickstrom delineated on the map included in the Committee' s packet
the location of the service area and explained that when Sea-Tac
incorporated it included part of the area the City was already
serving and a portion of the basin we were going to serve. In
order to provide service to those properties now requires us to
execute a franchise agreement with Sea-Tac. Wickstrom continued
that the City built the sewer in this area some time ago in
conjunction with a grant we had received. White questioned what
the advantage was to Kent to service this area. Wickstrom
responded that we would get the sewer revenues and the line would
be fully utilized. He added the concept is similar to our sewer
utility servicing property in the county. The customer would be
paying the sewer bill to the City.
Leona Orr asked if we were encouraging the other request by Sea-Tac
by allowing this and were we building any new lines. Wickstrom
explained there is a piece on Military Road that would extend up to
S. 216th which is a future extension but the basin is totally
different and separate from the other request. This area is mostly
residential development with some commercial toward SR 516. White
asked if there were any multifamily housing in the area. Wickstrom
stated Kent already has multifamily developed in that area.
Further discussion followed using the map as a guide. Jim White
inquired about the zoning of the area. Gary Gill stated that he
did not know what Sea-Tac was proposing for the zoning. After a
phone call to the City of Sea-Tac, it was reported that Sea-Tac' s
Comp Plan shows the area as Single Family Suburban Residential 7200
sq. foot minimum lot size. Kent's old West Hill Comp Plan showed
the area as single family. Gill explained further that this action
was precipitated by a request from an existing church to connect to
the sewer. Cellular One wants to put an antenna on their property
and as a condition of their permit they are required to get off
their septic system and connect to sewer. Jim White questioned how
much multifamily was in the area and would we be encouraging more
multifamily with this action. Gill added that we already have

criteria of that program would be a conservation rate. We are
proposing to keep the rate the same May through September and in
the winter reduce to a lesser amount. Jim White questioned the
differential in connection charges between 1991 and 1992 .
Wickstrom explained that connection charges are derived from the
City constructing the main and collecting a charge in lieu of
assessment on properties as they connect. As the City matures and
those properties develop, there will be fewer areas where we will
be replacing the mains. The revenue forecast for the water utility
was included in this analysis to indicate that we could absorb the
rate reduction. Wickstrom clarified that the action requested is
to adopt the drainage utility rate increase, the water rate
reduction, the absorption of the sewer rate increase and the storm
sewer capital improvement program. The reason for adopting the
storm sewer capital improvement program is that it contains
treatment facilities. Dowell expressed concern about the rate
increase being implemented now and no improvements being made for
a couple of years. Wickstrom stated that for the single family
residential home this results in a net increase of between 77 cents
and $1. 88 per month. With the water rate reduction and the
absorption of the sewer rate increase, there is a range of $1. 20 to
$3 . 90 per month in savings. Wickstrom responded that it will take
time to determine what can be done to correct the problems. There
are no simple improvements as there are so many regulatory agencies
involved. The Corps is involved because of the wetlands and
Fisheries is involved because of the streams.
This item will be brought back to the Committee at their 12/17
meeting.

Dowell stated he felt there was a possible misinterpretation about
the motion that had been made at the last Committee meeting. He
felt the motion referred only to the garage and real estate signs
but the information presented to Council was to approve the

installation of retaining walls and rockeries. Dowell asked why we
would charge a fee if people are attempting to improve or beautify

has grown to this magnitude. Ed White stated that the ordinance

above City right-of-way. As a street use occupation permit,
anything that travels on or is constructed within public right-of-
way has to be regulated and we have attached a fee to everything we
feel can either travel over or be placed within City right-of-way.
Dowell asked who takes care of signs that are on private property
but project over public property. Ed White stated that that
portion of the sign that touches private property would be under
the jurisdiction of the Planning Department and that portion over
the public right-of-way would be the responsibility of the Public
Works Department. Jim White stated he could support it but it will
have a lower fee structure when he gets through with it.
Russ Stringham asked why it was being discussed again. Dowell
stated the motion made by Leona was not to approve the resolution
as a whole only with that portion dealing with the garage sale
permits and real estate signs. Leona Orr stated she thought the
motion she was making was to approve the schedule with those
changes. Apparently, Mr. Dowell and Mr. White did not understand
the motion in that context. Bill Doolittle addressed again he felt
a distinction should be made between real estate signs and
apartment rental signs. Real estate signs are removed when the
agent goes home at night but apartment rental signs are displayed
for a long term period. Jim White stated he felt apartment rental
signs fall into the category of portable signs.
Dowell stated he didn't think there should be fees at all. He
stated he would vote against any fee schedule. He had voted for

permits will take staff time away from other duties. Dowell stated
he appreciated that but administration could find the money out of
the citizen' s tax dollars. Dowell moved that the fees for the
Public Works Department Street Occupation Permits be eliminated.
Jim White seconded the motion. Leona Orr stated the concern she
would have is that, if we aren't going to have any fees, is the
staff going to approve any signs or will they say they don't have
time to do it because they have more pressing items to deal with.
Russ Stringham stated he felt it was incumbent on the business
owner to make it as easy for the City as possible to fill out the
permit as completely as possible. He indicated he communicates
with a lot of the other business owners and would police it as best
he could. He continued he felt it was important that an
application be submitted for public safety purposes. Wickstrom
added that we are still responsible to police the signs and don't
have any revenue to offset the costs. The motion carried with Jim
White and Steve Dowell voting in favor and Leona' Orr voting
against.

Turnback Agreement SR 515 - S.E. 240th to S.E. 196th
Wickstrom explained that the State is improving SR 515 . There are
pieces on certain side streets that are in the City. The State
requires that we turn those areas over to them during construction.
After construction is complete, the State will turn back the rights
of way to the City. The Committee unanimously recommended approval
of the agreement.
Street Sweeping Service Bids
Wickstrom stated this item was also on the Council agenda this date
because of the length of hold on the bids. The bid was opened on
November 15 and lapses on December 15 . If we delay the award to
the December 17 meeting we might have to begin this three year
contract with negotiations and the City Attorney' s office has
recommended against this. The bid was significantly higher than
the budget. We had originally requested a budget of $150, 000 but
only $60, 000 was approved. Since this is financed from the storm
utility the general fund is not affected. Wickstrom stated that if
the drainage utility rate increase is not approved, there are funds
in the unencumbered balance of the sewerage fund for this. We
looked at cutting back the service level but concluded that might
not save as the same amount of dirt has to be moved, opens the
potential for more dirt to get into the storm system reducing
capacity, and increases air pollution. Tom Brubaker added an
additional problem is that the debris that is being accumulated on
the streets is being considered as hazardous waste more and more
often. Disposal could become a serious problem. He added that the
responsive bidder (Action Building Maintenance) has included
disposal in his bid and has recognized that it might at some time
have to be taken out of state. Leona Orr moved to accept the bid.
The Committee unanimously recommended approval.
Other
Bill Doolittle requested a cross walk from the library to the
parking lot at Harrison and Second and a stop sign at the exit onto
Second.
Leona Orr inquired as to the status of the Tiffany complaint. Gary
Gill stated the street department is cutting the ditch this week.
When that is done, the culvert will be installed across the road
which will take the water off 216th.
