Last September the City Council, by motion, directed staff to proceed with implementation of the 272/277th Corridor project.

It is now recommended by the Public Works and Legal Departments that the Council ratify its September decision by passing a reso- lution that reaffirms the policy reasons for that decision and that approves the Addendum. Assistant City Attorney Brubaker explained that new information was received on the Ramstead prop- erty, the Johnson property, and the 116th Avenue SE alignment. He noted that the addendum does not alter the original EIS, but rather adds to it.

AT t/ Kent City Council Meeting Date March 2 . 1993 Category Consent Calendar 1. SUBJECT: SIX YEAR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM AMENDMENT 2 . SUMMARY STATEMENT: As recommended by the Public Works Committee, option of Resolution No. /3 amending the Six 'Textr-rranportation Program 1993-1998 to include roadway reconstru tion on 76th Avenue between S. 222nd St. and S. 228th St.V This resolution amends Resolution No. 1317 adopted July 21, 1992 . 3 . EXHIBITS: Excerpt from Public Works Committee Minutes, memorandum from Public Works Director and resolution 4 . RECOMMENDED BY: Public Works Committee (3-0 vote) (Committee, Staff, Examiner, Commission, etc. ) 5. UNBUDGETED FISCAL/PERSONNEL IMPACT• NO X YES FISCAL/PERSONNEL NOTE: Recommended Not Recommended 6. EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: $ SOURCE OF FUNDS: 7 . CITY COUNCIL ACTION: Councilmember moves, Councilmember seconds DISCUSSION• ACTION: Council Agenda Item No. 3C noted that the items in bold face are still under negotiation. Brubaker briefly ran thru the franchise noting that this is a long term franchise - 25 years; also stating that this is a non- exclusive franchise. Brubaker went on to explain the different sections within the franchise. White clarified with Brubaker that this be approved subject to final negotiation. Brubaker responded that this is at a point now where we can move forward with a final document which will be ready for the next Council meeting of March 2nd. Council unanimously recommended that this franchise be brought forward for the first reading (review) at the March 2nd Council meeting, subject to all negotiations being completed. Johnson Property Acquisition Wickstrom stated that in November 1992 staff presented to the Committee a proposal to acquire the Johnson property at the appraised value plus 10% ($199 , 760) . Since that time, we have been negotiating with Mrs. Johnson whom originally asked $285, 000. We have been able to negotiate it down to $222 , 500. Wickstrom stated that even though it is about 22% above the appraised value, in our opinion we would still be saving money on the acquisition, due to attorney costs, and etc. via the condemnation process. Wickstrom further stated that it makes the Ramstead property much more valuable because of its access to the Green River Road, which we will need during the excavation operation. In response to White' s question, Wickstrom stated we should not have any problem with the state auditor. Committee voted 2 to 1 to recommend purchase of the Johnson property. (White and Bennett voted yes; Mann voted no) 76th Avenue Reconstruction Wickstrom explained that there is a section just north of 228th in need of repair; this is a rebuild overlay project. Wickstrom stated that there are Federal funds to do this but we need to get it in our six year plan so we can get the $701000+. The balance of the funds would come out of the overlay program. Committee unanimously agreed recommendation that this project be included in the six year plan. Oberto Street Vacation Wickstrom stated that Oberto Sausage Co has submitted a petition for vacation of S. 238th Street to allow for an expansion of their facilities. Wickstrom requested that a hearing date be set at the next Council meeting for this vacation. 3 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS FEBRUARY % 1993 TO: PUBLIC WORKS CO ITTEE FROM: DON WICKSTROM RE: AMENDING CITY OF KENT' S SIX YEAR T.I.P.

CITY COUNCIL ACTION: Councilmember moves, Councilmember seconds DISCUSSION• ACTION• Council Agenda Item No. 3H 'f MEMORANDUM DATE: February 11, 1993 TO: Christi Houser, Operations Committee Chair Leona Orr, Operations Committeemember Jim White, Operations Committeemember FROM: Tony McCarthy,, Ctef Executive Officer SUBJECT: Regional Airport Alternatives For the past few months the Suburban Cities Association has been addressing the issues associated with the regional airport alternatives. Council President Judy Woods has asked that the Operations Committee consider whether the City should take a position on this issue. Please find attached the meeting dates and summary of the regional airport alternatives as distributed by the Puget Sound Regional Council for your consideration. What Are the Regional Alternatives? Five alternatives have been identified to serve expected long-term (year 2020 and beyond) commercial air transportation capacity needs in the central Puget Sound region. The alternatives are not equally effective in serving demand and have varied impacts on the community and natural environment. Detailed Environmental Impact Statement work on specific siting options would follow a regional decision on the system alternative(the Regional Council action scheduled for April 29, 1993). 1. Sea-Tac Airport Enhancement Measures: • Sea-Tac with Broad System Management: This alternative attempts to meet the region's future travel needs without building any new runways. It includes the use of demand management,new technologies, and high-speed rail; or • Sea-Tac in conjunction with a remote airport: A remote airport is a second airport such as Boeing Field or Moses Lake(Grant County) Airport that would serve either connecting passengers or a share of long distance passengers otherwise served at Sea-Tac alone;or • Sea-Tac with a new dependent(*)runway: This runway would be able to accommodate both landings and takeoffs of commuter and jet aircraft, and would enable consistent two-runway airport operations during all weather conditions. (note*:A dependent runway is one that is not sufficiently separated from an existing runway or runways to operate at its full capacity.) 2. Two-Airport Multiple Airport System: One supplemental passenger-service airport would be located either north of Sea-Tac in Snohomish County or south of Sea-Tac in Pierce County. Sea-Tac would either retain its current airfield configuration or would add a new third dependent runway. 3. Three-Airport Multiple Airport System: Two supplemental passenger-service airports,one located north of Sea-Tac(Snohomish County)and one located south of Sea-Tac (Pierce County), would be developed. Sea-Tac would either retain its current airfield configuration or would add a new third dependent runway. 4. Replacement Airport: Sea-Tac Airport would be closed and a new,larger airport with three runways would be constructed in a new location. 5. No Action: Sea-Tac would continue to be the region's only passenger-service airport. No capacity improvements related to commercial passenger service would be made to any Puget Sound area airports. Demand Management would be part of all alternatives,especially the first option for Sea-Tac Airport enhancement. The Regional Council has developed a draft working paper on Demand Management and System Management for consideration during the RASP decision process. (Two related working papers address Impact Mitigation and Abatement and Timing of Decisions and Actions.)

SUMMARY STATEMENT: Authorization for early pay off of the remaining balance of $397, 913 on LID 297 and 320. This is the City's portion of these two LID' s which currently have a high-interest rate of 7 .45 percent and 7 . 5 percent. If the City pays off these LID's, we will save interest costs of $55, 241 at present value of $27 ,730. The total pay off of $397, 913 is partially covered by the 1993 budget of $101, 340 in the Capital Improvement Fund (CIP) . The balance of $296, 573 can be covered by using a portion of the CIP' s 1993 ending fund balance of $1, 103 , 397 . This will still leave an ending fund balance of $806, 824 to provide a cushion for any unant'cipated projects that may arise in 1993 .

Brubaker briefly ran thru the franchise noting that this is a long term franchise - 25 years; also stating that this is a non- went on to explain the different exclusive franchise. Brubaker sections within the franchise. White 'clarified with Brubaker that this be approved subject to final negotiation. Brubaker responded that this is at a point now where we can move forward with a final document which will be ready for the next Council meeting of March 2nd. Council unanimously recommended that this franchise be brought forward for the first reading (review) at the March 2nd Council meeting, subject to all negotiations being completed. Johnson Property Acquisition Wickstrom stated that in November 1992 staff presented to the Committee a proposal to acquire the Johnson property at the appraised value plus 10% ($199, 760) . Since that time, we have been negotiating with Mrs. Johnson whom originally asked $285, 000. We have been able to negotiate it down to $222 , 500 . Wickstrom stated that even though it is about 22% above the appraised value, in our opinion we would still be saving money on the acquisition, due to attorney costs, and etc. via the condemnation process. Wickstrom further stated that it makes the Ramstead property much more valuable because of its access to the Green River Road, which we will need during the excavation operation. In response to White' s question, Wickstrom stated we should not have any problem with the state auditor. Committee voted 2 to 1 to recommend purchase of the Johnson property. (White and Bennett voted yes; Mann voted no) 76th Avenue Reconstruction Wickstrom explained that there is a section just north of 228th in need of repair; this is a rebuild overlay project. Wickstrom stated that there are Federal funds to do this but we need to get it in our six year plan so we can get the $70, 000+. The balance of the funds would come out of the overlay program. Committee unanimously agreed recommendation that this project be included in the six year plan. Oberto Street Vacation Wickstrom stated that Oberto Sausage co has submitted a petition for vacation of S. 238th Street to allow for an expansion of their facilities. Wickstrom requested that a hearing date be set at the next Council meeting for this vacation. 3 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS FEBRUARY 9, 1993 TO: PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE FROM: DON WICKSTROM Q.V`\J RE: JOHNSON PROPERTY ACQUISITION Back in November 1992, the Public Works Committee authorized acquisition of the Johnson' s property for the amount of the appraisal plus 10%, or $199,760. A potential sale for $2221500 has been negotiated with the property owner subject to Public Works Committee approval. This amount is higher than the appraised value but well below the property owner's original requested sale price of $285, 000. Our Legal Dept. advises that this amount, while it exceeds the appraisal, would more than likely be offset by the costs of condemnation, were we not able to come to this agreement. The Public Works Dept. is requesting permission to acquire the Johnson property for the amount of $222 , 500. This property is adjacent to the Ramstead property and will give the City ownership of a continuous piece of land between Green River Road and 108th Avenue S.E. Its ownership would enable the grading operation to proceed much earlier than originally anticipated thus potentially resulting in significant project costs savings. \ a O ( - . ,_;_• Ctf� I•• �jJv •1_---- 8n ,Fza�l /•� i l•Q © o�ul , �°: .

CITY COUNCIL ACTION: Councilmember " >l-. moves, Councilmember 'jam~/�� - seconds to approve the 'Voluntary Retirement Incentive Program, as recommended by the Budget Committee. DISCUSSION ACTION: Council Agenda Item No. 4Bi� MEMORANDUM DATE: February 22 , 1993 TO• Budget Committee FROM: Don Olson, Human Resources Director SUBJECT: VOLUNTARY RETIREMENT INCENTIVE PROGRAM At the direction of Administration the Human Resources Department has developed a Voluntary Retirement Incentive Program that will not only provide savings to the City but also recognize and reward the dedication, loyalty and distinguished service of many long-term employees. This program will provide a temporary window of opportunity for eligible employees to retire from the City while providing them with additional financial security. This memorandum will outline the proposed Voluntary Retirement Incentive Program and the financial impact of implementing the program. First, however, is a brief review of the criteria for retirement under the State PERS and LEOFF systems. THE STATE OF WASHINGTON RETIREMENT SYSTEMS Eligible employees of the City of Kent are required to participate in the State of Washington Public Employees ' Retirement System (PERS) or, in the case of Police and Fire, the Law Enforcement Officers and Firefighters System (LEOFF) . To be eligible for retirement , an employee must meet certain criteria. A summary of the State' s criteria is outlined below: PERS PLAN. I - Retirement Criteria Any age with 30 or more years of service or, age 55, with at least 25 years of service or, age 60, with at least 5 years of service. PERS PLAN II - Retirement Criteria Age 65, with at least 5 years of service or, age 55, with at least 20 years of service (reduced benefit) . LEOFF PLAN I - Retirement Criteria Age 50, with at least 5 years of service. LEOFF PLAN II - Retirement Criteria Age 58 , with 5 years of service or, age 50 , with 20 years of service (reduced benefit) . There are currently 17 City employees who meet the State criteria for a' service retirement. There may be additional employees who satisfy this criteria through a combination of public service and/or military service. In such cases only the State can determine retirement eligibility by combining prior service records. The City does not have access to this information. In 1992 the Washington State Legislature passed ESHB 2947 which provided an opportunity for eligible PERS I members to retire up to five years earlier than under normal retirement system rules. As a result of this legislation two of 13 eligible City employees opted for early retirement. Those employees not electing to retire early sited financial hardship as the determining factor. VOLUNTARY RETIREMENT INCENTIVE PROGRAM The following proposal outlines the City' s recommendation for a Voluntary Retirement Incentive Program: All employees who meet the State PERS or LEOFF retirement criteria would be eligible to participate in the City' s Voluntary Retirement Incentive Program. All eligible employees must notify the City of their intent to retire no later than July 1, 1993 . All eligible employees must retire from the City on or before July 31, 1993 . In recognition of the dedication and years of services the City will pay each eligible employee an amount equal to $400 for each year of service to the City of Kent. This compensation amount shall be based on the last full year of service to the City of Kent. For example: an employee with 25 years of service would receive a retirement incentive payment of $10 , 000. Eligible employees will be required to pay taxes on the full amount of the retirement incentive payment. Furthermore, in accordance with DRS Notice 92-088, the amount of the retirement incentive payment shall not be reported to the retirement system. The Human Resources Department has prepared a report that identifies the number of employees who are eligible to participate in the Retirement Incentives Program and the monetary incentive payment they would receive upon retirement. A copy of the report is attached to this memorandum. FINANCIAL IMPACT OF RETIREMENT INCENTIVE The Human Resources Department has worked closely with the Finance Department to determine the potential savings that would be derived from implementing a retirement incentives program. In projecting the savings to the City two assumptions were made; first, that all eligible employees retire by July 31, 1993 and secondly, a very conservative assumption, that each of their vacant positions is filled on August 1, 1993 at the entry level salary step. These assumptions provide for the most fiscally conservative estimate of savings. In all likelihood the City will experience significantly greater savings than those projected. Although the assumption is immediately refilled, this is made that positions would be unlikely. Each position would be carefully analyzed to determine when, or even if, it is to be refilled. As a result of the above assumptions the projected savings for 1993 are $67 , 669 . The projected savings for 1994 are $134 , 198 , with a combined savings of $201, 867 . The total projected savings were then split 65/35 , with 65%, or approximately $131, 214 , allocated for the retirement incentives program and at a minimum $70, 653 savings for the City. The formula used to determine the amount of the retirement incentive payment was calculated by taking the 65% of savings (329 years) and dividing it by app the roximate paamentmber of of $4 0 foreice eachyears year (329 years) to reach an payment of service. The attached report indicates the actual retirement incentive payments eligible employees would receive. Hopefully these cash incentives will assist eligible employees in making the difficult and sometimes emotional decision regarding retirement. Furthermore, the voluntary Retirement Incentive Program provides a means for the City to recognize the dedicated and distinguished service of many long term employees while providing some financial protection at retirement.

CITY COUNCIL ACTIOON: Councilmember ��� moves, Councilmember �� � rz� seconds that the second reading of Puget Power Franchise Ordinance No. Lj& be set for March 16 for final action. DISCUSSION• d , ACTION: j'), Council Agenda Item No. 4C will be some associated costs for this. Police stated however, that there are some alternatives to the two hour limitation; residents living in the area would have stickers on their cars. Wickstrom stated again that his only concern is manpower in terms of administrating the ordinance, to issue the stickers, taking fees and complaints. Wickstrom asked that this issue be held over until the next Public Works meeting, March 4th. Bennett recommended that this be discussed at the next Public Safety meeting, prior to Public Works Committee. Construction Standards Report Wickstrom presented an update on the Construction Standards stating that the Construction Standards Review Committee has completed their review and staff will be bringing this item to the Public Works Committee for adoption of the Standards, within the next month or so. Downtown Infrastructure Raul Ramos made a presentation on the Downtown Infrastructure Program. Ramos stated that the sidewalk repair/replacement portion of this project is top priority at this time. Along with other portions of this project, Ramos noted his work on Community Reinvestment Plan. Ramos said however, in order to meet the safety needs of the downtown pedestrians and to assure compliance with the American Disabilities Act, the Mayor and Chief Administrative Officer have requested that work on the Community Reinvestment Plan portion of this project be delayed until more progress is made on the sidewalk repair/replacement program. Ramos referenced a memorandum from Don McDaniel, Puget Power, stating their willingness to help assess - our Downtown Sidewalk Program as affected by our street trees. Ramos stated that the majority of sidewalks in disrepair were caused by street trees growing to a point of being a liability problem.. Ramos explained that McDaniel has agreed to coordinate with his office to determine which trees can and cannot be saved while at the same time, installing new sidewalks. Bennett suggested that the types of trees selected should be coordinated with our Sign Ordinance. White suggested the consideration of installing power under the trees so they can be lighted during the Holiday Season. Puget Power Franchise Brubaker stated that the Puget Power Street Franchise with the City is expired. Over the years, the City has entered into periodic agreements with Puget Power to allow them to install power systems along our street, alley and road right of ways. Brubaker explained that he has prepared a relatively straight-forward franchise and 2 noted that the items in bold face are still under negotiation. Brubaker briefly ran thru the franchise noting that this is a long term franchise - 25 years; also stating that this is a non- exclusive franchise. Brubaker went on to explain the different sections within the franchise. White 'clarified with Brubaker that this be approved subject to final negotiation. Brubaker responded that this is at a point now where we can move forward with a final document which will be ready for the next Council meeting of March 2nd. Council unanimously recommended that this franchise be brought forward for the first reading (review) at the March 2nd Council meeting, subject to all negotiations being completed. i it i ORDINANCE NO.

HARRIS, PLANNING DIRECTOR SUBJECT: PROCESS FOR OPEN SPACE TAXATION CASES IN KENT The attached letter from King County asks the City to recommend one of two processes for dealing with Open Space Taxation Cases in Kent. The Council Planning Committee is recommending that the process in Kent be three City Council members and three County Council members as the hearing body in such cases. Kent has used the three City and three County Council set up for all prior cases dealing with Open Space Taxation and it has worked very well. JPH/mp:a:tax cc: Attachment JAN 2 0 ;99 3 King County PLANNING DEPARTMiN A E GE i FKENT ��r '� U JAN 11 1993 January 4 , 1993 OFFICE OF I mAYOR The Honorable Dan Kelleher Mayor, City of Kent Post Office Box 1307 Kent, WA 98032 RE: PublicrBenefit Ratinci System for Open Space Land Dear Mayor Kelleher: We are writing to inform you about a new program for current use taxation of open space property which affects both the incorporated and unincorporated areas of King County and to ask your cooperation to ensure timely decisions on applications. The King County Council recently passed Ordinance 10511, establishing a Pu �ic'�enefit°Rating System to replace the former method for calculating current use taxation on open space land. Current use taxation, as authorized under RCW 84 . 34, is a system for assessing open space land for property tax purposes at a value below its highest and best use value. This program provides the cities and King County with a tool that can be used to give an incentive to private landowners to preserve open space. As mentioned above, the program applies to property within incorporated and unincorporated King County, with the County acting as the initiating agency under RCW 84 .34 . 037 . Under the RCW and ordinance 10511, city involvement occurs in two ways: 1. The Ordinance requires expert recommendations on certain resource categories for property to be accepted into the program. In incorporated areas, several of the qualifications require a determination by the appropriate city staff experts. For example, city parks departments must determine whether land qualifies for a tax reduction as an "active or passive recreation area. " 2 . In all incorporated areas, the decision to approve property for current -use.,taxation must be made by x . ,member .-pane1> consisting of three County CouncilmembersPand "three "City Councilmembers. RCW 84 . 34 . 037 states, in part, "applications for classification of land in an incorporated area shall be acted upon by a determining authority composed of three members of the county legislative body and three members of the city legislative body in which the land is located. " i The Honorable Dan Kelleher January 4, 1993 Page Two Therefore, wvouldappriate� snow� lgthe` iame "andddress ,of ;n. the,+s� me b� gur�rcity pwhd:should'Yeceive `the-applications°-", 2�from�the,�KingzCounty Environmental Division= (the County,s implementing agency for the program) . This staff person should be responsible for coordinating your staff review, as well as acting as the contactrfor•ayourr:Council•-decision-making process. (See discussion below. ) The approval process outlined in the enclosed documents provides for a 30-day review period by your staff to ensure that City staff comments are included in the staff, report prepared by the Environmental Division. Because of the types of expertise required, you may wish to consider designating your planning department or parks department planners as lead staff. Because the ordinance went into effect immediately, we have begun processing applications. Thus, if you could fill out and return the attached form identifying your staff contact to Sue Comis, Open Space Program Coordinator, by January 15, 1993, we can ensure coordination in processing. Sue can be reached at the King County Environmental Division, 3600 136th Place Southeast, Bellevue, WA 98006-1400, or by telephone at 296-7261. council Decision-Making Process We have developed two alternatives for complying with RCW 84 . 34 in approving or denying open space applications in incorporated areas: i Alternative 1: The three designated members of the City Council hold a hearing, make a decision and transmit the decision to I' the County Council. The three designated members of the County Council hold a separate hearing. If the decisions conflict, the Clerk of the County Council will schedule a joint meeting. Alternative 2 : Designated members of the City and County l Councils hold a joint hearing to decide on the open space applications within the City. Please indicate on the attached form which alternative you prefer. We will try to accommodate both so that the needs of all local jurisdictions are met. i � I I . The Honorable Dan Kelleher January 4, 1993 Page Three Background Information To clarify this issue further, the following items are enclosed: - RCW 84 . 34, the state enabling legislation for the program - a fact sheet on the program Code Chapter - King County Ordinance 10511 and King County 20. 36, establishing the Public Benefit Rating system and procedures for current use taxation - the King County Public Benefit Rating system information - a blank landowner application form for y our- a chart and timeline detailing the procedures for processing and approving applications, including the two alternatives described above - a list of the specific open space resources (land qualifications) requiring city staff determination under ordinance 10511 information, do not hesitate to call Sue If you need further Comis. Since the program is new, we anticipate that some adjustments in have to be made during this first year. By the procedures may working together, however, we have a unique opportunity to gh preserve high-quality open space in our cities and county throu this nonregulatory incentive program. We have already received telephone calls from landowners in creating in many las successful who are a ger to and apply. Thank you for your help equitable .program.

CITY COUNCIL PLANNING COMMITTEE MINUTES FEBRUARY 16, 1993 PAGE 3 A double impact in the work program in the area of the comprehensive plan has occurred. We have lost one-half of an employee who worked with elements of the comprehensive plan which are necessary to meet growth management mandates, and the Planning Department surrendered all of its growth management money to the 1993 general fund to pay staff salaries. As a result, the Department does not have the option of contracting for professional services to help with the environmental impact statement or other needed programs. Another tremendous impact is the lack of resources for coordination with regional and subregional committees. Mr. Satterstrom is concerned about being able to deliver the kind of service that the City has grown used to. Administrative Assistant Margaret Porter reported the loss in January 1993 of an additional part-time secretary. As a result, turnaround time on completing work has been lengthened. The secretaries are experiencing additional interruptions since the major duties of the two part-time secretaries were to answer the phones and work the counter. Mr. Harris stated that the Planning Department is pursuing replacement of key positions with the Executive Committee, and is meeting with the Human Resources Department regarding a Department audit. If we are not able to hire replacements for key positions, the 1993 work program will be drastically revamped. This will effect the customer service. OPEN SPACE TAXATION PROCESS (JIM HARRIS) Planning Director Harris reviewed a letter to the Mayor dated January 21 1993 regarding a new program for current use taxation of open space property. King County recently passed Ordinance 10511 establishing a Public Benefit Rating System to replace the former method for calculating current use taxation on open space land. The program applies to property within incorporated and unincorporated King County with the County acting as the initiating agency under RCW 84 . 34 . 037 . Under the RCW and Ordinance 10511 City involvement occurs in two ways: 1. The Ordinance requires expert recommendations on certain resource categories for property to be accepted into the program and determination by the appropriate city staff experts . 2 . In all incorporated areas, the decision to approve property for current use taxation must be made by a six-member panel consisting of three County Councilmembers and three City Councilmembers. Mr. Harris explained two alternatives for complying with RCW 84 . 34 in approving or denying open space applications in incorporated areas: CITY COUNCIL PLANNING COMMITTEE MINUTES FEBRUARY 16, 1993 PAGE 4 Alternative 1: The three designated members of the City Council hold a hearing, make a decision and transmit the decision to the County Council. The three designated members of the County Council hold a separate hearing. If the decisions conflict, the Clerk of the County Council will schedule a joint meeting. Alternative 2 : Designated members of the City and County Councils hold a joint hearing to decide on the open space applications within the City. The Committee suggested that the- Council Members from the Planning Committee be the selected members. Jon Johnson MOVED and Jim Bennett ' SECONDED a motion to adopt Alternative 2 as the Council decision-making process which designates three City Councilmembers to meet with three County Councilmembers at a joint hearing at Kent City Hall. This will be forwarded to the full Council on March 21 1993 . Motion carried. A City staff contact person needs to be identified by Tony McCarthy, and Mr. Harris would like to be the contact person for the Open Space Taxation Applications. 4 1 ,'A Kent City Council Meeting 1 Date March 2 . 1993 Category Bids 1.

Miller reviewed the report with the Committee members. 1994-1999 CIP Kickoff Discussion Acting Finance Director Miller proposed that with the down-sizing in city-wide staffing, the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) be changed to a Mini -Update to save time and labor in the individual departments . She noted that a quality CIP can be accomplished by re-using information already available and working with the Planning Department on updating growth management compliance. It was the consensus of the Committee that a Council Workshop be held to gather all input and areas in need of CIP funding before priority target issues can be established. LID Prepayment Acting Finance Director Miller noted that authorization is requested for early payoff of the remaining balance of $397,913 on LIDS 297 and 320. She explained that these LIDS have high interest rates and that the City will save interest costs of $55,241 is paid early. She also noted that if approval is given, it will reduce the City's debt, save money and free up $100,000 for capital projects in 1994. White moved approval for authorization of early payoff for LIDS 297 and 320. Orr seconded and the motion carried 3-0. Early Retirement Options Sue Viseth, Human Resources Analyst, explained that the City of Kent is not in a position to offer early retirement to its employees but that a voluntary retirement incentive program has been looked into and can be offered as an alternative. White noted that this program should be presented as a voluntary program and moved that it be taken to the Council for approval with a recommendation to accept from the Budget Committee. Orr seconded and the motion carried 3-0. The meeting adjourned at 4:45 p.m. OPERATIONS COMMITTEE MINUTES FEBRUARY 16, 1993 COMMITTEE MEMBERS PRESENT: Christi Houser, Chair Leona Orr Jim White STAFF PRESENT: Tony McCarthy Charlie Lindsey May Miller Roger Lubovich Becky Fowler Lin Ball Alana McIalwain MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC: Jean Parietti Paul Seeley Steve Burpee Barbara Simpson The meeting was called to order at 2:30 p.m. by Chairperson Houser.

Report of City Management Committee Paul Seeley, Co-Chair of the City Management Study Committee, noted that the committee has been looking into the City possibly restructuring with jobs of like or similar functions combining to better serve the citizens. He noted that they have also looked at the Warner Study but that the committee would like to have support of the Council in order for it to continue and to exist. He distributed a draft of the CMAT's mission, goals and a list of the committee members. It was the consensus of the Operations Committee that no action is needed at this time because it will be discussed at the Council Retreat on February 25th and 26th. Regional Airport Alternatives McCarthy noted that Council President Woods requested that the Operations Committee consider whether the City should take a position on this issue. The Puget Sound Regional Council has identified five alternatives to serve long-term commercial air transportation capacity needs in the central Puget Sound region which have varying impacts on the community and natural environment. It was the consensus of the Committee that the City needs to take a position in order to further growth and trade in the City of Kent. White moved to direct the City Attorney to prepare a resolution in support of Alternative 3, A Three-Airport Multiple Airport System. Orr seconded and the motion carried 3-0. Resolution on Annexation to the Library District McCarthy noted that the Library System would maintain library services to Kent at the 1993 mount if annexation is passed any time during 1993. He also noted that if this is put on .,he September, 1993 election ballot it will save the City considerable money for a special election. The Library System is requesting the City to pass a Resolution by April 30th in order for this item to be on the fall election ballot. McCarthy clarified that the one time savings to the City would be in 1994 for $237,596 and that in 1995 property taxes would be reduced to offset the new library district levy so that citizens wouldn't have a OPERATIONS COMMITTEE MINUTES February 16, 1993 (con't) new tax impact. White moved approval for the City Attorney to prepare a resolution to put the annexation to the King County Library District on the September, 1993 regular election ballot. Orr seconded and the motion carried 3-0. Employee Day Care Discussion Becky Fowler, Human Resources Analyst, gave a presentation on the daycare feasibility study and noted that in 1990 a committee was established to study the feasibility of providing on-site daycare for City employees. She also noted that over 31% of employees responded to a survey and that 65 employees indicated that they would enroll their children if one were provided. She noted that in 1991 the Human Resources Department was allocated $7,000 for the "Site and Cost" study but funds were frozen because of the budget and then in 1992, it was cut from the budget altogether. McCarthy noted that a Dependent Care Reimbursement Program was implemented this year but that only eight employees have taken advantage of this new benefit and he suggested that another pretty solid survey be done before anything else is implemented. It was the consensus of the Committee that another employee survey be done. The meeting was adjourned at 3:35 p.m. Brenda Jacober City Clerk Parks Committee Minutes February 16, 1993 Councilmembers Present: Jim Bennett, Chair; Jon Johnson and Christi Houser. Staff Present: Tony McCarthy, Tom Brubaker, Helen Wickstrom, Alana McIalwain, and Pam Rumer. Others Present: Don Wickstrom. KENT GREEN RIVER TRAIL BID OPENING Helen Wickstrom reported that the Parks Department had a successful bid opening for the Green River Trail . There is $500,000 in the budget for construction and $100,000 for a contingency fund. The Department received a low bid of $296,000. Wickstrom explained that the low bidder confused his figures for Alternates No. 2 and 3. Assistant City Attorney, Tom Brubaker, said that it is obvious by reviewing the other bids that this was a simple bid mistake. Alternate 2 was always a higher bid than Alternate 3 with the other bidders. He said there is no legal problem with allowing the contractor to reverse his figures, as his bid will still be the lowest bid. Wickstrom said that Alternate 3 is the section of land the Parks Committee previously authorized staff to condemn in order to obtain an easement. Staff hopes to add this back before the project is over, but needs to work out details with the property owner. Wickstrom added that bid specifications allow staff to add any alternates back within 30 days from the date of a contract. Wickstrom requested to take to Council a request for authorization to award the base bid and Alternates 1 and 2 to Gary Merlino Construction Company, and authorization to add Alternate 3 back at such time as staff can work out easement details. Brubaker explained that if details cannot be worked out before the contract is awarded, Alternate 3 will either come back as a change order or go out as a separate bid under $35,000. Councilmember Johnson moved to accept the low bid of Gary Merlino Construction Company. Councilmember Houser seconded the motion. The motion passed with a 3-0 vote. Parks Committee Minutes February 16, 1993 Page Two Wickstrom also reported that the a Department Parkiprojects. Bothll have bid enin areg onoIACegrants bruary 25 for the East Hill Pk and Scenic which expire at the end of June. As two weeks are critical to these projects, Wickstrom requested authorization to take the low bids for each project to Council for acceptance if the bids are within budget. Councilmember Johnson moved to allow staff the take the low bids for the East Hill Park and Scenic Hill Park projects to Council on March 2 if the bids are within budget. Councilmember Houser seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously with a 3-0 vote. Wickstrom said she will bring the bid results to the March 2 Parks Committee meeting, but she will have already placed them on that evening's Council agenda.

With the Council ' s backing, staff will be speaking with citizens during April and May to obtain feedback. In response to Chair Orr' s inquiry about the Chestnut Ridge annexation, Mr. Harris stated this item is now before the Boundary Review Board. If no one takes jurisdiction by the end of March this area will be annexed into the City. INTERIM ACTIONS MANDATED BY COUNTY-WIDE PLANNING POLICIESIMINIMUM RESIDENTIAL DENSITIES (F SATTERSTROM) Planning Manager Satterstrom reported that when the City of Kent adopted the County-Wide Planning Policies, one of the commitments was to review the City ordinances for opportunities for affordable housing and also review and consider a minimum residential density ordinance, Policy FW-2 in the County-Wide Planning Policies. The importance of the density ordinance is to try to ensure affordable housing. The staff report states that the density ordinance is meant to encourage cities to establish a minimum density goal in single family as well as multifamily zones. In order to ensure that land within the urban area will be used more efficiently, four alternatives were described. Mr. Satterstrom was asked to bring this item back to the March 2 meeting with information regarding densities in other cities and more flexibility in minimum densities . CITY COUNCIL PLANNING COMMITTEE MINUTES FEBRUARY 16, 1993 PAGE 2 CATHOLIC COMMUNITY SERVICES (CCS) IN 1993 FUNDING (LIN_ BALL The Human Services Commission recommends reallocating $7 , 000 of 1993 general fund human services dollars granted to the CCS Housing for Homeless Men Project to the CCS Emergency Severe Weather Shelter Program due to the fact that the men' s shelter will not open in 1993 . This will result in a total allocation of $17, 000 to the Emergency Severe Weather Shelter Program, the same level of funding as 1992 . Jim Bennett MOVED and Leona Orr SECONDED a motion to reallocate $7, 000 to the CCS Emergency Severe Weather Shelter Program from the CCS Housing for Homeless Men Project. This item will be forwarded to tonight' s Council meeting. Motion carried. REVISED PLANNING DEPARTMENT WORK PROGRAM (JIM HARRIS) Planning Director Harris reported that significant changes have taken place in the Planning Department ' s work program since the last update on October 61 1992 . The level of service provided to citizens by the Planning Department has been affected by the loss of seven (7) employees since January 1992 . Mr. Harris remarked that the department is no longer able to shift personnel resources from one area of the department to another. These personnel losses impact the whole Department and the level of service provided to citizens. Human Services Manager Lin Ball reported two major areas of change in the 1993 Work Program. Five new programs/issues that have been added to her work program in 1993 : Homeless Response, Section 81 CDBG Interlocal Agreement, New Contract Development Process, and Metro Subsidized Bus Tickets. The most critical change is the recent resignation of Alice Shobe, a Human Services/Block Grant Planner. With only two planners in the Office of Housing & Human Services, this means a 50% reduction in staff. This reduction of staff makes it impossible to execute the work program presented to the Committee in October 1992 . Kent's lead in responding to human services needs is now jeopardized with the loss of staff. Planning Manager Fred Satterstrom reported that 3 , 648 hours have been lost in the Planning Services Division in the last three months due to the resignation of two planners. The Division' s ability to deliver services has been severely impacted by these resignations. The ability to cover the public/information zoning counter is cut in half. There is a severe reduction in hours available to review plans for major and minor development, and the number of hours to work on land use permits (subdivisions, environmental checklists, rezones, conditional use permits) are severely reduced. SEPA review resources are reduced by 40%, and the landscape plan review time is cut in half. CITY COUNCIL PLANNING COMMITTEE MINUTES FEBRUARY 16, 1993 PAGE 3 A double impact in the work program in the area of the comprehensive plan has occurred. We have lost one-half of an employee who worked with elements of the comprehensive plan which are necessary to meet growth management mandates, and the Planning Department surrendered all of its growth management money to the 1993 general fund to pay staff salaries. As a result, the Department does not have the option of contracting for professional services to help with the environmental impact statement or other needed programs. Another tremendous impact is the lack of resources for coordination with regional and subregional committees. Mr. Satterstrom is concerned about being able to deliver the kind of service that the City has grown used to. Administrative Assistant Margaret Porter reported the loss in January 1993 of an additional part-time secretary. As a result, turnaround time on completing work has been lengthened. The secretaries are experiencing additional interruptions since the major duties of the two part-time secretaries were to answer the phones and work the counter. Mr. Harris stated that the Planning Department is pursuing replacement of key positions with the Executive Committee, and is meeting with the Human Resources Department regarding a Department audit. If we are not able to hire replacements for key positions, the 1993 work program will be drastically revamped. This will effect the customer service. OPEN SPACE TAXATION PROCESS (JIM HARRIS) Planning Director Harris reviewed a letter to the Mayor dated January 2 , 1993 regarding a new program for current use taxation of open space property. King County recently passed Ordinance 10511 establishing a Public Benefit Rating System to replace the former method for calculating current use taxation on open space land. The program applies to property within incorporated and unincorporated King County with the County acting as the initiating agency under RCW 84 . 34 . 037 . Under the RCW and Ordinance 10511 City involvement occurs in two ways: 1. The Ordinance requires expert recommendations on certain resource categories for property to be accepted into the program and determination by the appropriate city staff experts. 2 . In all incorporated areas, the decision to approve property for current use taxation must be made by a six-member panel consisting of three County Councilmembers and three City Councilmembers. Mr. Harris explained two alternatives for complying with RCW 84 . 34 in approving or denying open space applications in incorporated areas: CITY COUNCIL PLANNING COMMITTEE MINUTES FEBRUARY 16, 1993 PAGE 4 Alternative 1: The three designated members of the City Council hold a hearing, make a decision and transmit the decision to the County Council. The three designated members of the County Council hold a separate hearing. If the decisions conflict, the Clerk of the County Council will schedule a joint meeting. Alternative 2 : Designated members of the City and County Councils hold a joint hearing to decide on the open space applications within the City. The Committee suggested that the Council Members from the Planning Committee be the selected members. Jon Johnson MOVED and Jim Bennett SECONDED a motion to adopt Alternative 2 as the Council decision-making process which designates three City Councilmembers to meet with three County Councilmembers at a joint hearing at Kent City Hall. This will be forwarded to the full Council on March 2 , 1993 . Motion carried. A City staff contact person needs to be identified by Tony McCarthy, and Mr. Harris would like to be the contact person for the open Space Taxation Applications. PERMIT CENTER (NORM ANGELO) As requested at the January 19 , 1993 Committee meeting, Fire Chief Norm the Department Heads Permit Center plan will Angelo reported on how appropriately address the concerns of public safety, customer service, time periods for plan review, and consistency and predictability. Steve Burpee complimented the Planning Department for delivering some major building permits in 105 days given the shortage of manpower and the hiring of a new building inspector. However, Mr. Burbee expressed concern about the timelines for tenant improvements. He would like to see some flexibility and willingness for timelines to be shortened (five days instead of 40) without jeopardizing public safety and welfare. Mr. Burbee stated the lack of staff should only reflect timelines but should not affect accountability, customer service, customer satisfaction, consistency, predictability, or public safety. Chair Orr commented that timelines is a major issue in the Mayor's Task Force Report, and everyone is focusing on that issue. She is pleased to hear that the development community understands that with limited staff, timelines will not be easily addressed. Timelines also affect customer satisfaction. The Mayor' s report mentions hiring consultants when the workload gets too heavy. Chair Orr is concerned about where funding for consultants will come from given the City' s financial status. Chair Orr spoke of a friend who had problems with the City obtaining permits for a remodel and who wrote a letter indicating their dissatisfaction. Ms. Orr spoke with the customer and Chief Angelo and the issue was resolved. Another friend had a similar project and called Ms. Orr three times at different phases of the project to comment on what a wonderful job City staff had done. This occurred after the complaint from the first friend. CITY COUNCIL PLANNING COMMITTEE MINUTES FEBRUARY 16, 1993 PAGE 5 She commented that the City obviously has people who are able to take criticism and make corrections. Ms. Orr has copies of letters from satisfied citizens dating back to 1987 and through January 1993 . She assumes that the satisfied customers are spreading the word that Kent is not the worst place to do business. She hopes that people who have had problems have taken the time to make suggestions, and the City will make the not necessary everythingowrongland sees the Department Heads report s ons and improvements. She feels the lbeingty s done very positive. Dan Ivanoff of Birtcher Frank Properties commented that they recently received building permits for two projects and expressed appreciation for the ongoing cooperative relationship they received from the City. Mr. Ivanoff stated that his company competes with developers in Renton, Auburn and Tukwila, and Kent is probably the fastest process to get through. Birtcher Frank Properties has had an excellent experience with the Building and the Planning Departments. ADDED ITEM - SECTION 8 (LIN BALL) Human Services Manager Lin Ball distributed a memo responding to questions brought up at the January 19 , 1993 Committee meeting regarding the Section 8 Housing issue. Perhaps the answers to these questions will help the Council decide at their upcoming retreat whether to make Section 8 Housing a target issue for 1993-1994 . ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at 5 : 35 p.m. 930216.PC PUBLIC WORKS MEETING FEBRUARY 18, 1993 PRESENT: JIM WHITE ED WHITE PAUL MANN TIM LA PORTE JIM BENNETT HELEN WICKSTROM DON WICKSTROM DON MC DANIEL TOM BRUBAKER R. M. BRAUKUS ROGER LUBOVICH CONNIE EPPERLY DAVID HAENEL JOHN STREICH TONY MC CARTHY MR & MRS RUST GARY GILL BILL DOOLITTLE RAUL RAMOS Bike Trail Extension Thru Earthworks Park John Streich stated that Canyon Drive is essentially not safe for bicyclists. Streich suggested a bicycle trail up Canyon Road or up thru Earthworks Park. Streich said that in talking with Helen Wickstrom, the Parks Dept would rather have a nature trail. Streich said that he had talked to Dept of Fisheries noting that Fisheries wants plans submitted before they respond to his request. White stated that over the years there have been discussions on a possible "access road" thru the Canyon. This would clean it up and also maintain that area. White said he does not know if we can commit to that because of the extensive work involved. Committee recommended that staff review this issue and come back with a recommendation. Restricted Parking Ordinance Lubovich stated that citizens on the other side of Willis St. have asked for restricted parking due to limited parking space. Legal Dept. has drafted an ordinance which was then presented to the Committee. David Haenel stated that the area in question at this time, is 5th Ave So. between W. Willis and the 700 Block of 5th Ave So. Haenel stated that Public Works and Police have some concerns with the implementation of this ordinance. Wickstrom stated that his concerns are the lack of staff to administer this ordinance. Police Dept concerns relate to the time of day that this needs to be enforced and the two hour time zone involved. Their concerns are also staff availability. From the Police standpoint, there 1 will be some associated costs for this. Police stated however, that there are some alternatives to the two hour limitation; residents living in the area would have stickers on their cars. Wickstrom stated again that his only concern is manpower in terms of administrating the ordinance, to issue the stickers, taking fees and complaints. Wickstrom asked that this issue be held over until the next Public Works meeting, March 4th. Bennett recommended that this be discussed at the next Public Safety meeting, prior to Public Works Committee. Construction Standards Report Wickstrom presented an update on the Construction Standards stating that the Construction Standards Review Committee has completed their review and staff will be bringing this item to the Public Works Committee for adoption of the Standards, within the next month or so. Downtown Infrastructure Raul Ramos made a presentation on the Downtown Infrastructure Program. Ramos stated that the sidewalk repair/replacement portion of this project is top priority at this time. Along with other portions of this project, Ramos noted his work on Community Reinvestment Plan. Ramos said however, in order to meet the safety needs of the downtown pedestrians and to assure compliance with the American Disabilities Act, the Mayor and Chief Administrative Officer have requested that work on the Community Reinvestment Plan portion of this project be delayed until more progress is made on the sidewalk repair/replacement program. Ramos referenced a memorandum from Don McDaniel, Puget Power, stating their willingness to help assess - our Downtown Sidewalk Program as affected by our street trees. Ramos stated that the majority of sidewalks in disrepair were caused by street trees growing to a point of being a liability problem.. Ramos explained that McDaniel has agreed to coordinate with his office to determine which trees can and cannot be saved while at the same time, installing new sidewalks. Bennett suggested that the types of trees selected should be coordinated with our Sign Ordinance. White suggested the consideration of installing power under the trees so they can be lighted during the Holiday Season. Puget Power Franchise Brubaker stated that the Puget Power Street Franchise with the City is expired. Over the years, the City has entered into periodic agreements with Puget Power to allow them to install power systems along our street, alley and road right of ways. Brubaker explained that he has prepared a relatively straight-forward franchise and 2 noted that the items in bold face are still under negotiation. Brubaker briefly ran thru the franchise noting that this is a long term franchise - 25 years; also stating that this is a non- exclusive franchise. Brubaker went on to explain the different sections within the franchise. White clarified with Brubaker that this be approved subject to final negotiation. Brubaker responded that this is at a point now where we can move forward with a final document which will be ready for the next Council meeting of March 2nd. Council unanimously recommended that this franchise be brought forward for the first reading (review) at the March 2nd Council meeting, subject to all negotiations being completed. Johnson Property Acquisition Wickstrom stated that in November 1992 staff presented to the Committee a proposal to acquire the Johnson property at the appraised value plus 10% ($199 , 760) . Since that time, we have been negotiating with Mrs. Johnson whom originally asked $285, 000. We have been able to negotiate it down to $222 , 500. Wickstrom stated that even though it is about 22% above the appraised value, in our opinion we would still be saving money on the acquisition, due to attorney costs, and etc. via the condemnation process. Wickstrom further stated that it makes the Ramstead property much more valuable because of its access to the Green River Road, which we will need during the excavation operation. In response to White' s question, Wickstrom stated we should not have any problem with the state auditor. Committee voted 2 to 1 to recommend purchase of the Johnson property. (White and Bennett voted yes; Mann voted no) 76th Avenue Reconstruction Wickstrom explained that there is a section just north of 228th in need of repair; this is a rebuild overlay project. Wickstrom stated that there are Federal funds to do this but we need to get it in our six year plan so we can get the $70, 000+. The balance of the funds would come out of the overlay program. Committee unanimously agreed recommendation that this project be included in the six year plan. Oberto Street Vacation Wickstrom stated that Oberto Sausage Co has submitted a petition for vacation of S. 238th Street to allow for an expansion of their facilities. Wickstrom requested that a hearing date be set at the next Council meeting for this vacation. 3 Committee unanimously agreed to recommend that Council adopt a resolution setting a hearing date for the vacation of S. 238th Street. North Park 2nd Addition Sewer Addition Committee unanimously agreed to recommend acceptance of the bill of sale for North Park 2nd Addition Sewer Addition. Howard Johnson Amerisuite Hotel Waterline Committee unanimously agreed to recommend acceptance of the bill of sale for Howard Johnson Amerisuite Hotel waterline. Kent Elementary School Site #25 Committee unanimously agreed to recommend acceptance of the bill of sale for Kent Elementary School Site #25 water, sanitary sewer and storm sewer improvements . Arnold Evans Water Meter White explained that as a result of the January windstorm, Mr. Evans' s water tap was opened and Mr. Evans is requesting some financial relief against his water bill. Wickstrom noted that we have a policy on leaks, etc. Since Mr. Evans was not in attendance at this meeting, Committee held off making a decision on this until Mr. Evans makes a formal request at the next Public Works Committee meeting. Mr. Evans resides at 217 East Russell. 4 CONSENT CALENDAR 3 . City Council Action: Councilmember moves, Councilmember seconds that Consent Calendar Items A through K be approved.
