PUBLIC Drinking Driver Task Force Design Contest.
COMMUNICATIONS Lt. Rufener, Kent Police Department, noted that
some of the challenges facing today's youth are
suicides, car accidents, drug use, and violence
in the communities. She explained that once a
year the Drinking Driver Task Force tries to
bring children together to design contest
posters with themes to help prevent these pro-
blems and to reinforce safety messages. She
noted that there were over s00 participants in
this year's contest and explained that the
information gathered is put together in mean-
ingful themes and sent out to all the schools
to reinforce the message. Lt. Rufener intro-
duced the winners in each category, and
certificates were presented to them by Mayor
White, Councilmember Houser, and Chief
Crawford.

Boating Week" in the City of Kent, and urged
all those who enjoy the pleasure of boating to
become aware of the potential hazards of

He noted that their theme, "Boat Safe, Boat

Introduction of Mayor's Appointees. Mayor
White introduced Ron Banister as his appointee
to the Civil Service Commission, and Roger
Broer as his appointee to the Arts Commission.
Regional Justice Center Update._ Wendy Keller,
Project Manager, distributed to the Council a
copy of the Key Project Schedule Items and
Timeframes, and noted that the project is right
on schedule with completion of the schematic
design in October, the design development in
March, and the cost estimate reconciliation in
April. She also noted that final papers were
signed last Friday, and that the two properties
are now owned by King County.
Keller informed the Council that NW Metals has
already vacated their property, that Howard
Manufacturing will be off their property in
about 2 weeks, and that the Kent Fire Depart-
ment will be using the NW Metals building for
training. She noted that the RFP for asbestos
removal is now out, the RFP for remediation of
the pentachlorophenol tank will be out shortly,
and that an RFP for demolition of site build-
ings and foundations will then be sent out.
She explained that throughout the summer the
preloading and preparation of the site will be
taking place with two oil tanks underneath the
NW Metals building which still have to be
removed, and that there will be at least three
contractors on-site.
Keller noted that the Construction/EIS Mitiga-
tion Package will also be done within the next
couple of months with the operational mitiga-
tion process completed by January, 1995. She
explained that the building design process will
be completed by November with a review process
following, the documents will be done in
December, and that the project will be ready to
3
May 31 1994
PUBLIC go out for bid by January, 1995. She noted,
COMMUNICATIONS however, that the Metropolitan King County
Council needs proof that they can afford to
operate the building and make any judgments as
to how much of the building may not be opera-
tional at the time of opening. She stated that
construction is scheduled to begin in March,
1995 with completion by December, 1996, and
effective occupation by January, 1997.
Keller noted that the Community and Business
Advisory Group (CBAG) has been given 15 opera-
tional questions to address with three issues
being discussed at each meeting, so they are on
a very stringent schedule. She explained that
a building at the SW corner of the site, which
is owned by the railroad, is being addressed as
requested by the City in the EIS. She noted
that negotiations are currently underway with
the railroad for possible purchase of this
property but that it would be an additional
cost to the project, and even though it would
benefit the exit out of that corner as well as
the general look of the area, it may not be
necessary to purchase it. She stated that the
City will be kept posted on this issue.
Keller noted that the King County Council has
appropriated 1% of the money for the arts plan
to select and hire artists to work with the
design architects on the integrated pieces
toward the front of the building and the 4th
Street side of which are well underway.
Russ Stringham, 1411 W. Smith, stated his
support of this project from the beginning but
said that if some issues, such as traffic and
parking, are not properly mitigated it will
have a negative effect on the area. Upon
Stringham's question, Keller explained that
$600,000 has been provided by the levy to deal
with traffic and parking issues, and that none
of it has been allocated as of yet. She noted
that 200 extra parking spaces are being pro-
vided, but no final decisions have been made
whether to have paid parking or not. Upon
Steve Dowell's question, she noted that proper
removal of the tanks and the ground around them
4
May 31 1994
PUBLIC is part of the environmental checklist. She
COMMUNICATIONS explained that the County will do a self -
cleanup of the area rather than wait two years
for the DOE to approve because it is not con-
sidered a high level contaminated site. She
explained that the DOE doesn't give an official
approval until the site is completely cleaned
up. Keller also noted for Dowell that all
buildings will be opened at the same time even
though some of the courtrooms and some of the
jail may not be operational at the time of
opening. Keller further noted that the
Department of Ecology has met with them on all
sub surface investigations, worked out a plan
on how to remediate, and has reviewed it. She
explained that this was a courtesy DOE extended
them as another government agency under an
emergency clause.
Teen Center Task Force Report. Mark Moder,
Youth Pastor for Kent Christian Center and
representative from the Teen Center Task Force,
introduced the committee members, and gave some
background on the establishment and mission of
the task force. He noted that the recommenda-
tions from the task force to the Council are as
follows:
(1) that the Mayor and City Council authorize
placement of a $7.6 million bond issue on
the November, 1994 ballot to fund land
acquisition and construction of a 29,000
sq. ft. youth teen center;
(2) that the 13.2 acre Morrill homestead
property on SE 248th Street be acquired
for building a youth teen center;
(3) that two satellite programs be offered
twice a week at school sites - Totem
Junior High School on West Hill that would
be operational in 1994, and one on a
school site in downtown Kent;
(4) that the youth teen center use the in-
novative Project Lighthouse concept of
combining teen recreation, law enforce-
ment, Kent Ministerial Association, and
5
May 3, 1994
PUBLIC social services into the daily operations
COMMUNICATIONS at the teen center and satellite programs,
and that professionals and volunteers from
the many Kent based agencies and community
groups be involved in operating a multi-
faceted youth teen program;
(5) that coordinated efforts be continued with
the Kent Transit Advisory Board with the
ultimate goal of bus services to and from
the youth teen center and other locations
within the Kent city limits; and
(6) that the Task Force remain in strong
partnership with the Kent School District
which has shown interest, cooperation and
support for the youth teen center program.
Moder noted that there is almost no availa-
bility at any school within the Kent School
District on a consistent basis and that
consistency is a necessity. He distributed to
the Council a copy of a letter signed by ap-
proximately 120 youth showing support for a
teen center. He explained the building site
concept design, but noted that this isn't the
final design and again stressed the real need
for a youth teen center with all the issues
facing youth today.
Mayor White thanked all members of the Task
Force.
MANN MOVED to accept the Youth Teen Center
Task Force report. Orr seconded. Christie
Peterson, 13118 SE 234th, expressed hope that
if the Council is not quite ready to make a
decision, they would postpone action and give
individuals a chance to go to the community for
more support for this center. She said she
just found out about this project and is sure
others are not aware of it as well. The motion
to accept the report then carried. Mann dis-
tributed to the Council a three-page copy of
"Youth Statistics" from the 1993 Human Services
Needs Assessment book, and urged them to read
and investigate the report thoroughly. MANN
THEN MOVED that the Council refer this matter
0
May 3, 1994
PUBLIC to the Parks Committee which will then hold
COMMUNICATIONS public hearings, and that Council direct Admin-
istration to analyze the report and forward
their findings to the Parks Committee and the
Council, and that the Council discuss the
feasibility of the current Youth Teen Center
proposal as developed by the City's Youth Teen
Center Task Force, and that the Council make a
final decision on the future of this project no
later than the Council's June 21 regular meet-
ing. Orr seconded. Mayor White expressed
concern about the short time frame, but stated
that Administration will be as responsive as
possible. The motion then carried.
Mayor White suggested that the petition con-
taining 120 signatures be made a part of the
record. BENNETT SO MOVED. Orr seconded and
the motion carried.
CONSENT WOODS MOVED that Consent Calendar Items A
CALENDAR through J, with exception of Item F which was
removed by Councilmember Houser, be approved.

WATER (CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 3G
U."AClh7ti n=co - rhArrto in T.
AUTHORIZATION for the Finance Manager to
execute the necessary documents allowing
Mr. Richard A. Kerkel of 26405 122nd Place S.E.
to make monthly payments against a $632.50
Charge in Lieu of Assessment fee for water
service, as recommended by the Public Works
Committee, and in accordance with Resolution
No. 975. Mr. Kerkel has claimed that paying
the full amount at this time would create a
hardship.
SIDEWALKS (PUBLIC HEARINGS - ITEM 2A)
LID 342 - Smith Street Sidewalks, Washington
Avenue to 64th Avenue. This date has been set
for the public hearing on the final assessment
roll of LID 342. Public Works Director
7
May 3, 1994
SIDEWALKS Wickstrom pointed out the location and
explained that the LID was formed a year ago,
after an inquiry by Catholic Community
Services. He noted that construction is not
complete, but that the final project cost is
estimated to be $113,265. He explained that
the project is a mix of LID and City funds, and
that closing the LID ahead of time would keep
costs down. He added that the City's share of
the project is approximately $38,000 which will
come out of the sidewalk fund.
Wickstrom noted that a protest was received
from Bally's Health & Tennis Corporation,
asking that their assessment be reduced by
$1,000 but that no supporting evidence was
provided. He therefore recommended that the
assessment not be adjusted.
Mayor White declared the public hearing open.
There were no comments from the audience and
WOODS MOVED to close the public hearing. Orr
seconded and the motion carried. MANN MOVED to
direct the City Attorney to prepare an ordi-
nance adopting LID 342, Smith Street Sidewalks
from Washington Avenue to 64th Avenue. Bennett
seconded. Lubovich clarified that the motion
to accept the material in the Council agenda
packet as part of the record should be made
first. Mann and Bennett withdrew the motion
and the second. MANN THEN MOVED to make the
material contained in the Council agenda packet
on this item part of the record. Houser
seconded and the motion carried. MANN MOVED to
direct the City Attorney to prepare an ordi-
nance adopting LID 342, Smith Street Sidewalks
from Washington Avenue to 64th Avenue. Bennett
seconded and the motion carried.
TRAFFIC (PUBLIC HEARINGS - ITEM 2B)
CONTROL LID 344 - Traffic Signal at S E 240th Street
and 108th Avenue S.E. This date has been set
for the public hearing on the final assessment
roll for LID 344. Public Works Director
Wickstrom noted that inquiries regarding a
signal were received after an accident at the
intersection, and that a review determined that
certain criteria were met. He added that there
8
May 3, 1994
TRAFFIC were some covenants from various developments
CONTROL in the area to support the installation of a
signal. He noted that informal meetings were
held with property owners who would be affected
by an LID, that it appeared that there was
support to proceed, and that a public hearing
was held on January 4, 1994. He pointed out
that the project is under construction and
should be completed in the latter part of the
summer, and noted that closing the LID out
would reduce costs. He noted that the total
cost of the project is estimated to be
$150,197.21, and that City funds will cover
part of the project. Wickstrom noted receipt
of protests from Mary Behrendsen (Assessment
No. 4) and Sam Behar (Assessment No. 9). He
noted that property owners must supply credible
evidence that shows that their property is not
benefitted to the amount of the assessment.
He said the information supplied regarding
Assessment No. 4 was not credible, and noted
that the property is vacant. He added that if
they were to develop, a covenant would have to
be executed to participate. He concluded that
no reduction in Assessment No. 4 is warranted.
He noted that Mr. Behar did not provide any
supporting evidence that would justify a re-
duction in Assessment No. 9.
Mayor White declared the public hearing open.
Mary Behrendsen, owner of Assessment No. 4,
disagreed with Wickstrom that the material she
provided with her protest is not satisfactory.
She said the price paid for the property is
adequate proof of the value at that time, and
that tax information should be considered
adequate. She noted that she has been unable
to sell this property, and said that she should
not have to pay for a traffic signal because
her property does not generate any traffic.
She said the traffic is coming from the apart-
ments and that they should have been required
to pay for a traffic signal when they were
built. She also asked why the post office is
not required to pay a portion of the cost.
Wickstrom responded that the post office is
exempt from all local authorities including LID
assessments. He pointed out that the issue is
9
May 3, 1994
TRAFFIC the value of the property immediately before
CONTROL the LID and immediately after the improvement,
not the value at the time of purchase. He said
that the assessor's value is not considered
credible evidence, and noted that many dispute
the assessor's value of their property. He
added that the apartments are paying their
share of the costs as distributed through this
LID.
There were no further comments from the
audience and WOODS MOVED to close the public
hearing. Orr seconded and the motion carried.
MANN MOVED to make the material contained in
the Council agenda packet on this item a part
of the record. Houser seconded and the motion
carried. MANN THEN MOVED to direct the City
Attorney to prepare an ordinance adopting LID
344, traffic signal at S.E. 240th Street and
108th Avenue SE. Woods seconded. Bennett
asked that the signals between 104th Avenue
S.E. and 116th Avenue S.E. be synchronized to
avoid gridlock. The motion then carried.
Later in the meeting Ms. Behrendsen expressed
dismay that the Council did not comment on her
concerns, and simply accepted Wickstrom's
recommendation. Mayor White suggested that she
meet with Wickstrom after the meeting, and
offered to discuss the matter with her at that
time.
LEVEE (BIDS - ITEM 5A)
IMPROVEMENTS Green River Levee Improvements. Bid opening
for this project was held April 26th with nine
bids received. The low bid was submitted by
Lloyd Enterprises, Inc. in the amount of
$272,010.31. The engineer's estimate was
$326,034.55. The project consists of con-
structing a section of new levee and raising
portions of the existing levee along the
northerly bank of the Green River from
approximately the Meeker Street Bridge to the
West Valley Highway bridge. Also included is
the installation of a paved pedestrian/bicycle
trail along the top of same.
10
May 3, 1994
LEVEE The Public Works Director has recommended that
IMPROVEMENTS this bid be accepted and the contract awarded
to Lloyd Enterprises, Inc. MANN MOVED that the
Green River Levee Improvement contract be
awarded to Lloyd Enterprises, Inc. for the bid
amount of $272,010.31. Bennett seconded and
the motion carried.
ANNEXATION (OTHER BUSINESS - ITEM 4D)
(ADDED BY OPERATIONS DIRECTOR MCFALL)
Auburn Agreement - Ramstead Annexation McFall
explained that the proposed agreement has to do
with the Ramstead Annexation. Public Works
Director Wickstrom pointed out the location of
the area and noted that the Ramstead Annexation
is presently before the Boundary Review Board.
He stated that the area contains 594 acres,
including an 18 -acre finger which is owned by
Mrs. Ramstead and is of concern to the City of
Auburn. He noted that the sphere of interest
for both cities overlaps, and both have con-
cerns. He explained that under the law, pro-
perties can be exchanged by passing resolutions
between each jurisdiction, and noted that this
has been done with the City of SeaTac regarding
a Park -N -Ride lot. He added that it would be
subject to a referendum by the people if they
object. He stated that the City of Auburn is
receptive to this, and asked the Council to
authorize the Mayor to sign an agreement relat-
ing to the Ramstead Annexation with a possible
future modification of the boundaries. BENNETT
SO MOVED. Woods seconded and the motion
carried.
PUBLIC SAFETY (OTHER BUSINESS - ITEM 4A)
Hours of operation for Licensed Premises The
proposed ordinance would amend Chapter 9.32
of the Kent City Code entitled "Conduct in
Alcoholic Beverage Premises", by adding a new
section regulating entertainment conducted on
premises licensed to serve alcoholic beverages.
Under the proposed ordinance, no music,
dancing, or entertainment could be conducted
between the hours of 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. on any
11
May 3, 1994
PUBLIC SAFETY premises licensed under the authority of the
State Liquor Control Board which is open to the
public and which operates for profit, directly
or indirectly, or requires a monetary payment
or contribution from persons admitted.
The City Attorney distributed corrected copies
of the proposed ordinance containing references
to the statutory authority and adding a sen-
tence stating that "music" and "entertainment"
shall not apply to radios or mechanical musical
devices such as tape decks or similar equip-
ment. He explained that the ordinance basical-
ly prohibits live entertainment, often referred
to as after hours entertainment, in night clubs
between the hours of 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m.
He explained that this would not regulate all
entertainment since the use of radios and other
mechanical devices cannot be prohibited.
WOODS MOVED for the adoption of Ordinance
No. 3163 regulating entertainment conducted on
premises licensed to serve alcoholic beverages.
Houser seconded and the motion carried with
Bennett opposed.
FIRE DEPARTMENT (OTHER BUSINESS - ITEM 4B)
sale and Discharge of Fireworks The sale and
use of fireworks has been the subject of much
public debate over recent years. In the
interest of preserving both the tradition of
fireworks and public safety, and pursuant to
RCW 70.77.395, the City of Kent has prepared an
ordinance restricting the time fireworks may be
sold and limiting the time fireworks may be
discharged. The Fire Prevention Bureau has
notified all 1993 firework permit holders of
the proposed fireworks ordinance as requested
by the Public Safety Committee.
Fire Chief Angelo noted that four alternatives
were presented to the Public Safety Committee
as follows:
1. Follow State Law. Dates of sale: June 28
noon to July 6 noon. No limit of days
they may be discharged.
12
FIRE DEPARTMENT
May 3, 1994
2. Limit Sales. Dates of sale: June 28 noon
to July 4, 11:00 p.m. Discharge: July 4th
only 9:00 a.m. - midnight.
3. Limit Sales. Date of sale: July 4 only.
Discharge: July 4th only, 9:00 a.m. -
midnight.
4. Limit Sales 1994, Ban 1995. Dates of
sale: June 28, 1994, noon - July 4, 1994,
11:00 p.m. Discharge: July 4, 1994 only,
9:00 a.m. - midnight. Sale and discharge
banned in 1995.
He noted that the Fire Department recommends
Option 4, limited sales and discharge in 1994
and a ban in 1995. He explained that one year
notice must be given to people who sell fire-
works before a ban can take place. Mayor White
commended the Council for their efforts to
address this issue. He spoke in favor of a ban
in 1995, due to safety issues, the noise
factor, and the potential costs associated
with fireworks, and urged the Council to
consider a ban.
Angelo noted that Option 4 is the same as
Option 2 with the addition of a ban in 1995.
Bennett suggested adopting Option 2 and con-
sidering a ban at the Council meeting of
May 17th. Lubovich noted that an alternate
ordinance banning fireworks sales and discharge
in 1995 has been prepared and could be adopted
at tonight's meeting if the Council so desires.
BENNETT MOVED to adopt Ordinance No. 3164
restricting the time for sale of fireworks and
limiting the time for discharge of fireworks.
Houser seconded. Woods offered a friendly
amendment adding an outright ban in 1995.
Bennett agreed to the amendment. Houser noted
that the Public Safety Committee had planned to
discuss the ban at their next meeting, and did
not agree to the amendment. Woods withdrew the
amendment. Lubovich noted for Orr that there
is still time to discuss the ban at the Public
Safety Committee meeting and then pass an
ordinance enacting a ban in 1995. Mayor White
asked the City Attorney to prepare such an
13
May 3, 1994
FIRE DEPARTMENT ordinance for consideration by the Public
Safety Committee.
John Hvrv, 10602 Fawn Drive NW, Gig Harbor,
noted that he works with several families and
clubs who retail fireworks in Kent. He said he
has no disagreement with restrictions on the
dates of sale, but is opposed to a total ban.
He noted that youth organizations would be im-
pacted, and provided a copy of safety material
which is distributed to retailers. He stated
that injuries and property damage due to fire-
works has gone down significantly for the
second year in a row, due to safety education.
He added that the worst injury statistics are
in the ten states that ban all fireworks. He
stressed that his company works to create a
safe 4th of July celebration and they do not
believe bans are effective, noting that people
can obtain illegal fireworks. Clark reiterated
that public safety is the issue. The motion to
adopt Ordinance No. 3164 then carried.

(CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 3F)
(REMOVED BY COUNCILMEMBER HOUSER)
Riverbend Proposed 1994 Greens Fee Schedule.
Approval of a proposed 1994 Riverbend Greens
Fee Schedule was recommended by the Parks
Committee (3-0) at its April 5, 1994 meeting.
This proposal follows the staff recommended fee
increase schedule with the addition of a spe-
cial discount for City residents. The discount
is $.50 below 1993 greens fee rates.
Houser asked that this item be removed from the
Consent Calendar and be referred to the next
Parks Committee meeting so that the new Parks
Director would have a chance to meet with the
contractors at the golf course before it goes
through.

COUNCIL (OTHER BUSINESS - ITEM 4C)
Compensation of Councilmembers. The proposed
ordinance would amend Kent City Code Section
2.01.010, Compensation of Councilmembers, by
increasing Councilmember salaries, providing
for cost of living increases, and providing for
medical benefits.
Operations Director McFall explained that under
the proposed ordinance, Councilmembers would be
covered under the City's medical insurance plan
at the City's expense, and that dependents
could be covered at their own expense. He
explained that the salary cannot be adjusted to
apply to Councilmembers in their current term,
so the increase would not be effective until
after the expiration of the current terms of
seated Councilmembers. He noted that this
could result in staggered salary increases, but
that the Operations Committee recommended that
the salaries for all seven Councilmembers be
adjusted on January 1, 1998. He stated that
the base salary would change from $500 per
month to $550 per month, and that the salary
would be adjusted by 75% of the CPIW for
Seattle each year. Upon Woods' question,
McFall explained that the cost to cover a
Councilmember and all dependents would be
approximately $600 a month. Human Resources
Division Manager Viseth noted that the City
would pay approximately $200 of that amount.
JOHNSON MOVED to adopt Ordinance No. 3165
increasing Councilmember salaries, providing
for cost of living increases, and providing for
medical benefits. Houser seconded. Steve
Dowell said that the cost for seven council -
members would be $24,480 per year, or $97,920
for their four-year terms. He noted that
Councilmembers most likely have insurance
coverage, and would cancel any they are
currently paying for if the City provided
16
May 3, 1994
COUNCIL insurance. He said that councilmembers are not
employees, and passage of this ordinance would
be insensitive to current economic conditions.
He suggested increasing the salary by $50 a
month, but limiting the COLA to 3% and elimi-
nating the medical benefits. He also suggested
that the Mayor veto the entire plan. Clark
noted for Dowell that the proposed ordinance is
of no value to him, since he is not eligible
for it because of State insurance plan changes.
Upon Houser's question, McFall noted that 75%
of the CPIW would be approximately $11.00 for
this year. Russ Stringham spoke in favor of
the increase in salary, noting the complexity
of the issues and the amount of time that goes
into the job. He said that in order to attract
people to run for City Council, they must be
adequately compensated. He suggested imple-
menting the program on a staggered basis,
during election years, so that the extra in-
crease would begin sooner and candidates would
know the salary. He noted that an increase of
$50 is currently a 10% increase, but in January
1998 it won't be as much. He agreed that there
should be a limit on the COLA.
Stringham then questioned why medical benefits
would be offered to part-time employees, noting
that Councilmembers presumably have full time
jobs which pay benefits. He recommended not
offering the full time benefits. Upon Woods'
question, Viseth noted that employees who work
at least 21 hours a week receive the equivalent
of full time benefits. Stringham pointed out
that City employees work regular hours, but
that there is no way to verify how many hours a
Councilmember works. Johnson noted that he
instigated this issue, and that the Operations
Committee has recommended the compensation
brought forward tonight. He added that other
cities were contacted as to compensation for
Councilmembers and this plan is comparable.
The motion to adopt Ordinance No. 3165 then
carried, with Bennett opposed.

FINANCE
May 3, 1994
(CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 3I)
Regarding Midway Crossing. AUTHORIZATION for
the Mayor to sign an interlocal agreement with
the City of Des Moines regarding Midway
Crossing. This interlocal agreement is related
to the Midway Crossing Neighborhood Shopping
Center which is divided by the boundary of Kent
and Des Moines with the majority of Midway
Crossing residing in Kent. This agreement out-
lines the understanding between the two cities
on sales and utility taxes and surface water
management charges, maintenance and capital
issues and amends the original interlocal
entered into in 1987.
Mann later commented that he is unhappy with
the exit from the mall to Kent -Des Moines Way.
He said the exit was a compromise conditioned
for by the anchor store, and the resulting
traffic is dangerous. He opined that such a
compromise is outrageous, and that citizens are
in jeopardy.
White explained that the left -turn lane out of
the mall was required by the City of Des Moines,
and Mann expressed his disapproval.
(CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 3B)

REPORTS Council President. Woods noted that the
Suburban Cities Association meeting will be in
Kirkland on May 11th, and that elections will
be held for the coming year.
Woods noted that in regard to recent discus-
sions regarding changing the Mayor's salary, at
no time did the current Mayor request such a
change. She suggested that it would be appro-
priate to consider making such changes at the
same time that the City Council salary changes
take place.
Operations Committee. Johnson noted that the
next meeting will be at 9:30 a.m. on May 11.
Planning Committee. Orr explained that a
special meeting was held this week and that the
minutes are forthcoming.
Administrative Reports. Government Affairs
Manager Martin reported on cable tv in response
to concerns regarding audio and video taping
during executive sessions. He explained that
the policy is to have the outside door locked
and the inside door open, and all staff out of
the room. He added that a red light will be on
during taping. He reminded Councilmembers that
audio is picked up through their microphones.
He also noted that materials regarding light-
ing, clothing, etc. will be available soon.
Martin also noted that discussions regarding
production and other interests are being held
with representatives from Green River Community
College and Highline Community College.

SESSION tive session of approximately 15 minutes.

The City of Kent has received ISTEA funds to reconstruct the above

Street Overlays - S. 212th Street
Wickstrom stated that we have ISTEA funds to offset the cost of
improvements on S 212th Street from Orillia Road to the Green River
and, for James Street from West Valley Highway to East Valley
Highway. He said we are requesting authorization for the Mayor to
sign the agreements; the funds are about $263,000. In response to
Bennett, Wickstrom said we are matching the funds with our annual
overlay money so we have all that we need.
Committee unanimously recommended authorizing the Mayor to sign the
agreements and establish the budget for same.
Proposed LID - S. 212th Street
Wickstrom explained that we have a project to put HOV lanes on S.
212th from West Valley Highway to SR167. In conjunction with that
project, we want to put in sidewalks, and street lights from the
Green River to the valley freeway. Wickstrom said we have held an
informal public meeting with the participants and received some
opposition from KOA. He said that since we have this project
going, we want to finish off this valley industrial corridor.
In response to Mrs. Rust, Wickstrom said that we are building the
street in such a way that we can add two separate bike paths behind
the sidewalk.
Tim Clark expressed concerns regarding the driveway exiting out of
the O'Brien Elementary School site onto S. 212th. He asked if a
traffic light could possibly be installed for that purpose, at that
location. Wickstrom said we could only do that if the site were
designated for heavily used traffic flow, i.e., a Fred Meyer store
or another major development wherein the developer could
participate in the cost of installing a light.
Committee unanimously recommended that Council proceed with the
formation of the LID.

RESOLUTION NO
A RESOLUTION of the City
Council of the City of Kent,
Washington, relating to thirteen
(13) City -owned cabins and
appurtenant facilities located on
Lake Fenwick Park property, finding
that an emergency exists, and
requiring the immediate demolition
of the cabin structures.
WHEREAS, the City recently purchased additional property
adjacent to Lake Fenwick Park (a map indicating this property is
attached as Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by
this reference); and
WHEREAS, as part of this property purchase, the City also
became owner of thirteen (13) cabins, in various states of
disrepair (the approximate location of these cabins is indicated on
Exhibit A); and
WHEREAS, as a part of purchasing this property and these
cabins, the City was required by state law to relocate the persons
then living in these cabins; and
WHEREAS, the City's final plan for Lake Fenwick Park
improvements showed an intent to demolish and remove the cabins and
their appurtenant facilities from the park property; and
WHEREAS, after completing all required relocation, the cabins
became vacant and untenanted; and
1
WHEREAS, since becoming vacant, the City has taken all
reasonable steps to safeguard the cabins by posting "No
Trespassing" signs, by boarding up windows and doors and by
implementing all other reasonable measures to protect the property
and park users; and
WHEREAS, in spite of City efforts, the cabins have been
repeatedly vandalized, forced open, and otherwise damaged; and
WHEREAS, the City believes that this vandalism and damage is
unavoidable and that it will increase in the summer months after
the close of the 1993-1994 school year; and
WHEREAS, the continued vandalization of the cabins poses an
immediate threat to the health, safety and welfare of Lake Fenwick
Park users and a liability to the City of Kent; and
WHEREAS, because of the immediate threats to public health and
safety and to public property, an emergency exists that requires
the immediate removal of the thirteen Lake Fenwick cabins and their
appurtenant facilities without the benefit of any State
Environmental Policy Act ("SEPA") review, if SEPA review would be
applicable to this demolition project, or of the City's public
bidding requirements for public works projects. NOW, THEREFORE,
The City Council of the City of Kent, Washington, -does hereby
resolve as follows:
Section I. The above -listed findings and recitals are found
to be true and correct in all respects.
Section 2. The City Council finds that the thirteen existing
cabins indicated on the map attached as Exhibit A on the City's
Lake Fenwick Park property are now in a hazardous and dangerous
2
condition that constitutes both a threat to public health and
- safety as well as an imminent danger to public property.
Section 3. The City Council finds that an emergency condition
exists necessitating the immediate demolition of these thirteen
cabins and their appurtenant facilities on the City's Lake Fenwick
Park property.
Section 4. Because the.City must take immediate action due to
this emergency, the City Council finds that, if SEPA were to apply
to the demolition of these cabins, the City's action would be
categorically exempt from SEPA requirements because of this
emergency situation pursuant to WAC 197-11-880, and the City
Council also finds that this action shall also be exempt from the
City's public bidding requirements for public works projects.
Section S. As a result of this emergency condition, the
City's Director of Parks and Recreation is authorized to implement
and proceed with the prompt demolition of these thirteen cabins and
their appurtenant facilities on the City's Lake Fenwick Park
property under such terms and conditions as he deems appropriate to
alleviate the emergency condition.
Section 6. The City's Director of Parks and Recreation also
shall, to the extent reasonably possible, comply with the substance
of both state and local SEPA laws and all applicable public bidding
requirements.
Passed at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of
Kent, Washington, this day of'1994.

MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC: Pat Curran, Dee Moschel, Jean Parietti
The meeting was called to order at 9:35 a.m. by Acting Chairperson Houser.
Approval of Vouchers
All claims for the period ending February 28, 1994, in the amount of $1,400,407.42 were approved for
payment.
Kent Downtown Partnership Letter of Agreement
Director of Operations Brent McFall informed the Committee that the letter of agreement with the Kent
Downtown Partnership is simply to formalize the funds the city appropriates for the downtown promotion
provided by K.D.P. McFall noted that this is just a formality and that staff would recommend that Council
approve authorization for the signing of the agreement. Orr so moved, Houser seconded and the motion passed
2-0.
Savings from Reorganization
McFall noted that the Committee had asked to have this item come back to the Committee. McFall reported
that he had not put together a written report and that currently any reorganization was at a break even point.
McFall noted that he had not been on board when this had occurred but no changes had been implemented
which would result in a savings. The reorganization of Operations were replacements of previous positions
which did not result in any savings. Houser questioned the savings of not hiring a Public Safety Director.
McFall responded that no reorganization impacting that area had occurred. Houser asked if the Parks Director
salary was included in this report. McFall asked for clarification of the question. Houser questioned whether
the new Parks Director would be an increase over the current acting Director. McFall responded that the
salary range remained the same for the Parks Director position but the package would have to be negotiated
with whomever was selected.
Report Saiary Ranke for Parks Director and Public Information/Governmental Affairs Manager
Orr questioned whether the salary range in the agenda package was the same one used in the past. McFall
replied that it was the same other than the 2 %% COLA which all non -represented employees received.
McFall noted that in the comparable figures some larger cities were included due to the fact that the parks
department serves a large amount of unincorporated King County. McFall pointed out that in comparison the
city range seems to be right in the ball park. He added that the ranges are rather wide from a low bottom to
a high top which still holds in comparison to other cities and allows for competitiveness in the market place.
McFall noted that the Public Information/Governmental Affairs Manager position was more tricky because
there is not another position to compare it to. By combining public information, governmental affairs,
economic development and ombudsman functions it is essentially not comparable due to the fact that each city
handles these functions differently. After further discussion, Houser asked what the range was. McFall
replied he did not have the figures in front of him but Mr. Martin was at the mid -point which would be about
$68,000.

Council Chamber Remodel
Lindsey stated that the current plan proposes moving the dais out, adding the handicap ramps, resurfacing the
top and doing some finish work. Houser stated that she would like to propose that only two staff seats remain
least open their agenda books. McFall noted that this
on the dais to provide more width so that Council can at
may increase the price due to changing the cabinets. Orr added that this would also be helpful to the Planning
Commission which has nine members as well as other committees. Miller noted that the Capital Improvement
Fund had $88,000 in unappropriated funds. McFall asked if $12,000 was comfortable to the Committee. Orr
and Houser stated that it was.
Report S 1a!'.Y �ange for Parks DirectQr Directanct ru-
McFall noted he had the information requested for the previous item. The range for the Public Information/
Governmental Affairs Manager was $56,712-$80,772 and Mr. Martin is at the mid -point at $68,748.
Police Buy Fund Or mance
Miller asked for authorization to amend City Ordinance 3.41 to add an investigative buy account for the Police
Department. This account would not exceed $10,000 and will be used for investigative enforcement activities
not related to drugs or gambling which are already authorized. Miller noted that an additional section was
added for investigation of such crimes as stolen items or prostitution. Funds are in the 1994 budget but this
ordinance needs to be passed to allowtheir expenditure. Miller introduced Mike Sweeney who thanked Ed
Allen and May Miller for their work. Sweeney noted that no funds could be used lawfully for stings, etc. there
are no lawful means except for drugs and gambling. Sweeney asked that this account be added for
investigation of crimes such as fire arms or other investigations. Lubovich noted that the section on page 5
part 7 is not highlighted which is the new section. The ordinance to Council would underline this section. Orr
moved to recommend approval, Houser seconded and the motion passed 2-0.
Other Business
McFall noted that the representative from Harrison House could not make this meeting but will hopefully
report to the next meeting of the Operations Committee
Houser adjourned the meeting at 9:57 a.m.

Approval of Vouchers
All claims for the period ending March 15, 1994, in the amount of $1,089,281.94 were approved for
payment.
Harrison House Report - King County Housing Authority (K C H A )
Judy Jones of the K.C.H.A. distributed to the Committee a report of Harrison House residents/applicants.
She noted that currently there are 46 City residents, 18 from unincorporated King County, and 30 from
other areas. She noted the list also outlines current applicants. Ms. Jones informed the Committee that
the Housing Authority is currently working on filling the subsidy program units and is working with one
resident that was previously denied. She noted that potential residents for this program have a concern
with how long funding will last and what will happen if they are left without funding once in Harrison
House. Jones stated that the second unit is filled with a current resident who no longer has funds from
savings for rent. She added three other tenants have asked to be on the waiting list for the subsidy
program.
Ms. Jones noted that no rent increases or food service increases are currently planned. When asked for
questions Chairperson Johnson asked if the projections have been in line for expenses. Ms. Jones
responded that some had been high and others low which evened out.
February Financial Report
Finance Manager Miller reviewed with the Committee the February Financial Report distributed with the
agenda. Miller noted that under capital projects, water and sewer appear high due to the nine million
dollars reserved for the Tacoma Intertie. On page four Miller pointed out that the high and low on the
general fund revenue is reflective of when property tax is collected noting that currently the 4.2% gain is
due to unsettled contracts and vacancies. On page nine Miller noted the growth in retail and services
through December with Target and Starbucks reporting the highest sales. The budget forecast an page 19
reflects a prediction of ending the year $151,000 over the predicted budget. Miller cautioned that this is
a minor amount in a $1.3 million budget this early in the year.
Resolution Establishing_ Permit & Plan Review Fees
City Attorney Lubovich stated that a basic plan review fee had been established a few months ago for
residential single family homes. He stated that some clarification of the process for basic plans is
needed. Other permit fees will remain the same. The proposed resolution would establish the basic plan
fee at $50 per permit issued from the approved basic plan with an hourly rate for any changes made.
Lubovich added that the developer and architect must both sign off on the basic plan. The above would
7
Operations Committee Minutes, Cont.
March 23, 1994
only apply to single family residences and only upon written request with reproducible plans provided.
Lubovich noted that this resolution would clearly define and establish the application process.
Building Official Hutchinson noted that the concept can only be applied to single family due to logistics of
the code requirement which vary on size, use, etc. The basic plan review process would only apply to single
family units; one on a single parcel.
Committeemember Orr moved to accept the recommended resolution and recommend approval to the
Council. Johnson seconded and the motion passed 2-0.
Report on Permit Process Organization
Director of Operations McFall informed the Committee that he and the Mayor have been meeting with Don
Wickstrom, Jim Harris, Norm Angelo and Bob Hutchinson to fine tune the Council's desire for a one-stop
permit situation. McFall stated that a number of models with the goal of retaining flexibility while being
responsive were considered. It was determined that the focus will be on a customer service system that
works on problem solving versus a regulatory response. McFall explained that under this system staff would
help the applicant identify alternatives. If a permit cannot be issued, in the worse case, the person would
feel that the City had tried to help them through the process.
McFall outlined the organization plan for permitting; the Office of Development Services will report to
Planning as a division of Planning. Staff would be assigned from Public Works, Fire and Planning as key
contacts for their department to O.D.S. During heavy workloads more staff could be assigned from
departments. McFall stated that the staff that perform the work will help to work out the details of how the
relationships and procedures will be set up to make this approach work. McFall added that hundreds or
thousands of permits make it through the system but you always hear of the ten or so that don't even if the
fault is with the applicant. O.D.S. now has the ability to track how many permits are issued.
McFall noted that O.D.S. will also have the Code Enforcement function to work on nuisance codes such as
junk, unsafe structures and that a Code Enforcement Officer is currently being recruited. McFall stated that
this design for the placement of O.D.S. does not require Council action since it is within the Mayor's
authority.
Report on Council Wages and Benefits
McFall noted that all elected positions were looked at. McFall reported that the Mayor's compensation must
be authorized by Council and may be adjusted by ordinance during the term of office. These adjustments
could include management benefits, car allowances and/or a cost of living adjustment. This may be done
year -by -year or Council may establish a standard to measure against which is set in ordinance form.
McFall continued that Council compensation is more tricky. Since the Council adjusts their own level of
compensation, it must be adjusted after the expiration of current terms. There is one exception, the
legislature has determined that medical coverage is not compensation and can be added immediately. A
C.O.L.A could be done against an index which would automatically adjust wages each January based on an
outside index such as 80% of C.P.I.-W, Seattle. Other possible benefits could be membership in the state
P.E.R.C. retirement system, car allowances, etc. McFall noted that attachment B gave comparisons of other
%.
Operations Committee Minutes, Cont.
March 23, 1994
council benefits in neighboring cities. McFall stated that he would be glad to pursue any of the above if the
committee wished.
Council Chamber Remodel Update
Lindsey distributed a revised memo on the council chamber dais remodel and reviewed the changes with
those present stating that there would be ten positions at the same level which would be curved. The front
of the dais would be plastic laminate with slots for name plates for other committees. Lindsey stated that
the final estimate of $15,000420,000 complete with the backdrop. Miller asked if the Committee would
like to authorize that the remodel go ahead with a budget limit of $20,000. Orr moved to authorize the
establishment of a budget not to exceed $20,000 including change orders, hopefully less. Johnson seconded
and the motion passed 2-0.
Lubovich noted that he would soon be able to bring abatement of dangerous buildings to Committee.
Johnson adjourned the meeting at 10:35 a.m.

SEATTLE RING COUNTY HEALTH CONTRACT MONITORING REPORT FOR 1991-1992
Planner Rachel Johnston gave a report on the above mentioned report.
She said the purpose of the analysis is to identify those Public Health
CITY COUNCIL PLANNING COMMITTEE MINUTES
APRIL 19, 1994
PAGE 2
Services provided to Kent in 1991-92 and explain the cost of the
services.
The Health Department provides two types of health services to Kent
residents - Personal and Environmental services. Both Personal and
Environmental Health Services are categorized as either Basic or
Optional Services.
The City is charged for basic services only. Optional services are
paid by King County and "other" funds contributed (generated by fees,
contracts and grants). Rachel reported Kent only pays a portion of the
Basic services. The balance is paid by "OTHER" funds.
There are two Public Health sites in Kent - Personal Health Services
site is located at 615 West Gowe and Environmental Health Services is
located 1401 Central Avenue South.
The City's assessment for any given year is based on the cost of
services provided two years prior. The City's 1993 Assessment for
Health Services was approximately $530,000 (this amount was determined
by the cost of services provided to Kent residents in 1991).
Rachel stated the 1994 Assessment was approximately $636,000 and this
amount was based on the services in 1992.
In 1992, the City contributed approximately $117,C00 (24%) more for the
same Personal Health services provided in 1991. This increase can be
attributed to the increase in the cost of delivering health services
and in some cases the decrease of amount of available other funds.
She also reported in 1992 8% more Kent residents received Personal
Health Services than in 1991. Also, 13% more service units were
provided in 1992 than in 1991. Although the City paid a greater amount
for Basic Personal Health Services in 1992, The City paid less per unit
in some areas: WIC (13% decrease), Family Health (18%), and Refugee
Health (7%). These decreases were attributed to the increase in other
funds contributed.
Regarding Environmental Health Services, the City received 4% more
service units in 1992 than in 1991 but paid approximately $11,000 (31%)
less in 1992 for the same services provided in 1991.
The Health Department projects that the City's contribution to Basic
Environmental Health Services will continue to decrease because the
fees for these services will continue to increase; therefore, passing
the savings to the City.
CITY COUNCIL PLANNING COMMITTEE MINUTES
APRIL 19, 1994
PAGE 3
Rachel concluded that in the future, the City will no longer contract
with the County Public Health Services. When Washington State's new
Health Care Reform Act is implemented, the State will take
approximately 2.95% of the City's motor vehicle excise tax and give
directly to the Public Health Department to provide health services to
local residents. This shift is scheduled to occur in July of 1995 but
is anticipated that the shift will not actually occur until January
1996. Preliminary review of the new system indicates that cities will
pay less for health care through the Motor Vehicle Excise Tax System.
Although we are expected to save money, there are concerns that there
may be a reduction in services because the County will receive less
dollars under the new system. But the new managed Health Care Program
may free up some of the dollars currently spent through public health.
This may narrow the gap in services. These concerns are currently
being examined in order to prepare for the shift.
PERMIT AND PLAN REVIEW FEES - RESOLUTION (R Lubovich)
City Attorney Roger Lubovich briefly gave a history report on
Resolution 1371 that passed last year by the Operations Committee and
the Council. There is a desire now to clarify the language set forth
in this resolution with regard to the application of basic plans to
single family dwellings and to clarify other matters relating to basic
plans. There were some questions as to the specific facts on the
background of this resolution. Much discussion occurred between the
Committee members and Paul Morford. This item was deferred to the next
meeting, May 3, 1994, for further discussion and hopefully for the
Council members to make a decision on what the new language would be if
the n a revised resolution.

GROWTH MANAGEMENT UPDATE (F. Satterstrom)
Planning Manager Fred Satterstrom reported the Planning Commission went
on a City tour as part of the Workshop on April 25, 1994 looking at
residential density issues. They looked at multifamily development
ranging in density from 9-10 units per acre versus the kind .of
development that occurs when there is 20 units or more per acre. They
also looked at certain Single Family areas to get a feel for low
residential densities, such as small lots on East Hill in the Dover
Place PUD and the 5,000 square feet lots in North Park.
Fred reported he has finished up with the Economic Development
Committee as of May 3, 1994. This document will be ready to go to the
Planning Commission soon.
Fred also mentioned that the Planning Department is shooting for a
release date of June 6, 1994 for the Environmental Impact Statement as
well as the draft Comprehensive Plan.
On the Capital Facilities Plan that is moving forward at the same time,
the Mayor is presently working on the recommended levels of service for
the different capital facilities. A Council Workshop is to be set up
soon.
On the Land Use Video, there are no preliminary results at this time.
The GMA Planning Council is meeting on May 4, 1994 to being to make a
decision on the urban centers designation.

TOM SHARP DISCUSSION OF SHARP ANNEXATION (L. Orr)
Planning Director Jim Harris briefly went over the March 22, 1994 memo
to the Mayor and Council on the Status of Pre -zoning for Annexations.
The memo stated there is a Council policy specifically stating that the
City shall not initiate zoning hearings for annexed land until the
annexation ordinance has been adopted by the Council. Also, the Zoning
Code specifies that upon annexation of property, the Planning Director
shall commence all necessary steps to zone such property.
There was much discussion of the current policy. Councilmember Clark
MOVED and Councilmember Johnson SECONDED a motion to not change the
current annexation policy. Motion carried.
PERMIT AND PLAN REVIEW FEES - RESOLUTION (B Hutchinson)
This item was continued from the April 29, 1994 Committee meeting.
The memorandum included in the agenda packet clearly indicates the
original intent was to offer a service of providing a basics form of
plan review for single family buildings only. Therefore, Mr.
Hutchinson recommended that the Committee adopt the resolution that was
brought to the meeting on April 19, 1994 by City Attorney Roger
Lubovich that basic plan review is for detached single family dwellings
only. This resolution was passed out again at this meeting and briefly
gone over by the Committee members. Councilmember Clark MOVED and
Councilmember Johnson SECONDED a motion to adopt the resolution as it
was presented at the Committee meeting with the highlighted changes and
to forward this resolution for adoption to the Council at the May 17,
1994 Council meeting. Motion carried.

ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 9.36 OF THE KENT CITY CODE RELATING TO THE
TRAFFIC CODE (08 Drinking Driver Ordinance) I and I ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER
9.38 RELATING TO PARKING RESERVED FOR THE PHYSICALLY DISABLED (Monetary
Penalty ncrease)
City Attorney Roger Lubovich indicated that item one, ordinance amending chapter 9.36 of the
Kent City Code relating to the traffic code (.08 drinking driver ordinance) and item three, the
ordinance amending Chapter 9.38 relating to parking reserved for the physically disabled
(monetary penalty increase) go together, and is recommending that no action be taken on these
issues at this time. Lubovich explained that the State Legislature has passed new provisions
related to the model traffic code, putting it in the WAC's instead of the RCW's, which will take
effect July 1, 1994. Since we will need to adopt the new WAC's and the model traffic code,
Lubovich suggested that they be combined into the same ordinance. However, at this time the
new model traffic code with all it's provisions are not totally printed in the model traffic ordinance
form that needs to be attached to the ordinance. Lubovich further explained that there are
currently some lawsuits on the .08 ordinances. The ordinances are being attacked on DWI
prosecutions for not properly having them published and attached. So, we want to make sure
we do it right and have the whole package together. And, if we choose not to go with the .08
ordinance, we still need to adopt the new model traffic code. In addition, the city has a code
dealing with disabled parking with a 24-hour penalty provision. The model traffic code also
includes the same language, however, with the recent updates the penalty has been changed
to a flat $50. The old model traffic code had a penalty provision that said the penalty was
between $15 and $50, and the City of Kent, by adopting the ordinance, established the penalty
at $25. Therefore, it is also necessary to amend this section.
Clark moved to table both issues until the completion of the model traffic code. Motion
seconded by Woods. Clark requested, however, that when they are brought back, that the .08
be brought back as a separate issue. Lubovich indicated that he would draft them separately,
one will include the .08 and one will be adoption of the model traffic code without the .08.
Woods indicated that the one without the .08 should be taken forward first, because if there is
controversy, it will be on the .08. Then if necessary, it can always be amended.
Motion to table passed unanimously (3-0).
PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR JUVENILES ORDINANCE
Bennett explained that initially the request for a curfew ordinance was brought before the
committee at the February 7, 1994, meeting. The City Attorney felt that a curfew ordinance was
not constitutionally possible, and therefore, the parental responsibility ordinance was drafted.
Bennett stated that he had personally talked to policemen on the street on up to the police chief,
to human services people, to parents of kids with no problems, and to parents of kids with
problems regarding this issue. Everybody wants to do something, but nobody wants to take the
steps to do it, and the answer always comes back to enforcement. How do you implement it?
How do you enforce it? Bennett indicated he had some ideas, but would like to let the other
committee members speak to the issue, and then open it up for discussion.
Lubovich explained that the issue was tabled at the last meeting was because he thought it
would be easier if we had some authority from the state to enact a curfew and he wanted to wait
to see what the state was going to do on the issue. He indicated that he had some
constitutional and legal concerns with the curfew ordinance, and that's why we now have the
parental responsibility ordinance. He further explained that Bellingham just amended their curfew
ordinance to add the parental responsibility faction to it, and he had just received a copy today.
In reading the ordinance, however, he's not sure how they are enforcing the curfew against the
juvenile, and he has not be able to get more information because Bellingham's attorney has been
in court all day.
Stringham indicated that according to newspaper reports, it was his understanding there will be
no state-wide curfew. However, they did insert a provision in the bill that gives municipalities the
authority to pass a curfew on an individual basis provided they have the housing available for
those homeless that may be picked up during a sweep of the curfew. Stringham clarified that
the constitutional provisions are nearly identical in the parental responsibility ordinance as they
are in the teen curfew ordinance -- the problem was the statute because of a provision in the
Revised Code of Washington in the Juvenile Justice Act. Lubovich indicated that was correct.
Mr. and Mrs. Peterson stated that Saturday night somebody decided to pitch a rock through their
front plate glass window. They don't know who it was or why they might have done it, other than
just kids out on the loose at 2:15 on a Saturday night. When they found out the committee was
talking about this type of issue, they decided to come to the meeting because they want to do
something. Mrs. Peterson stated that there's nothing wrong with Kent being the leader in this
sort of thing, especially if it makes Kent a safer place to live. She further stated that she knows
where her children are every minute of the day, and can't imagine why any parent would allow
any child to be out at 2:00 in the morning.
Stringham stated that what happened to the Petersons is a perfect example. If a curfew
ordinance had been in place and a police officer had encountered those juveniles, the problem
could have been prevented. But, right now we have to first have a victim before anything can
be done.
Mrs. Peterson also stated that a day before this happened, she had been at Easthill Elementary
where her daughter attends school. The night before, graffiti had been sprayed all over the walls
of the play area. The kids must have been there for at least an hour for the amount of graffiti that
was on the wall, and they weren't there at 4:00 in the afternoon, it was during the middle of the
night.
ra
Epperly stated that anyone who gets into the car at 3:00 in the morning can encounter kids on
the streets. When she used to deliver papers, every morning without fail, there were kids out.
When she worked graveyard for 7 -Eleven, they would come in at all hours of the night on school
nights, and maybe these parents need to be made aware and made to be responsible. Kids do
have constitutional rights -- they have the constitutional right to be safe and to be taken care of,
but they don't have the constitutional right to be heathens.
Stringham asked Lubovich for clarification on the Bellingham issue, and whether he is
recommending that a combination parental responsibility and curfew as the way to go. Lubovich
stated that he is for a curfew ordinance. He doesn't see any reason why children should be out
in the middle of the night unless they've got some good reason. But, to insure that it was
passable, he went to the parental responsibility, which is what Bellingham did. However, he's
interested to see how they deal with it. It's clear that they're going to cite as a civil infraction the
parent, but what are they going to do with the juvenile. Under the curfew, the juvenile is violating
the ordinance, but under parental responsibility ordinance, it's the parent who is violating it.
Lubovich stated to have more effective enforcement, he would have preferred the curfew
ordinance. Again, the problem with the parental responsibility ordinance is that if the juvenile is
not violating the ordinance, you really can't detain that person unless he or she is doing
something else or is in danger. But on the other side, what do you do with the juvenile once you
detain them. Stringham asked if it's necessary have to write an ordinance requiring the officer
to pick them up and domicile them. Lubovich indicated that right now they don't pick them up,
they can stop and ask questions, but they can't do any more than that, and if the kid wants to
run away, they can. Stringham indicated that in most circumstances, the parents are ultimately
accountable anyway, so if fines are to be levied, they should be levied against the parents.
Bennett indicated that one solution he came up with in talking to several people, including the
ministerial association, was that a proviso be included that states the first time they're picked up,
their parents are issued a letter telling of various programs that are available, whether it be
parental counseling, drug counseling, or whatever. The second time they're picked up, if would
be mandatory that the parents attend those programs and they pay their own fees. And, the
third time would be the fine that is being proposed. Bennett stated doing nothing is sending the
wrong message. If they can't parent, then somebody needs to kick them in the butt and get
them to learn how to.
Woods asked when Bellingham acted on this issue, and Lubovich advised that apparently they
had just done it, and he had just gotten of their ordinance today. Woods asked if it was timed
to coincide with what was happening in the Legislature. Lubovich advised that they had some
problems with it, and they were in a hurry to redo the ordinance, so they didn't necessarily wait
for the Legislature to act. There was apparently some pressure to get the ordinance done
quickly, so they drafted it and added the parental responsibility portion.
Lubovich explained that under the family reconciliation act, there are provisions that if the juvenile
is in clear danger, you can take them down to the station, or if they are committing s me other
crime, you've got reason to hold them. With a parental responsibility ordinance, y p
and ask questions of juveniles just walking down the street, but you don't take them in. Under
the curfew, the juvenile is in violation and they are the one that is responsibile, and you can take
them down to juvenile detention or wherever.

Epperly indicated that if one city would put something like this forward, then maybe the others
would do the samething.

Lubovich stated that it's his recommendation that he be allowed another couple weeks to look
at the issue. He would like see the state bill and would also like to talk to the attorney in
Bellingham. Woods stated that there is no question that there is support from the council to do
something, and asked this be done as quickly possible. Bennett indicated that he'd like to see
the issue come back to a special meeting, and after some discussion it was decided that all the
appropriate people would be notified of the meeting once the specifics were established.
From the police department's standpoint, Chief Crawford asked that consideration be given to
the paperwork, the people power, and other factors that will be required toenforce
no teeth t
Crawford stated that it's very easy for us to put ordinances on the books, yeg
the police officer to try to enforce it. Everyone probably remembers what curfews were in 50's
and 60's, how we had the authority to enforce it. Today the laws are much different and the kids
themselves are a little bit more manipulative -- more willing to challenge the authority of society.
Crawford stated that if we're going to have something, then it should be the law and we should
be able to enforce it -- we can't tiptoe around it.
Martin indicated that in his sense of the legislative process on this issue, the biggest
tto concern
that
they had was if this was put on the books and the officers arrest children,

safe, accountable system for taking care of them. That's why they threw it back to the cities.
Stringham indicated that earlier the idea of some kind of mandate for seeking counsel came up
and asked if there was some way that this type of thing could be incorporated as one of the
steps in the process to offer the family/parents the opportunity to avail themselves of services
that may solve the problem without punitive measures.
Bennett thanked everybody for their input, and again advised that there would be notification sent
out as soon as a meeting date and time had been set.
AND CLOSING HOURS FOR1ALCOHOL SERVICE ESTABLISHMENTS
Bennett indicated that this issue was before Public Safety last year, it got passed on to Planning,
and now they're handing it back. Crawford commented that it may no longer be an issue. The
issue came up because of a temporary after-hours permit given to the Cafe Avanti by the Liquor
rd
Control Board, and the Choice Lodge and other residential areas were impacted. The temporary
permit has been rescinded, so the establishment now falls under the same rules as other
establishments with Class H licenses.
Lubovich advised that this might be the time to consider it since it would not impact any existing
facility. Lubovich stated that he had drafted both the teen club closure at midnight and the after-
hours ordinance that was turned down by the committee last year. The issue then turned to
whether or not it should be zoned for distance, etc. The Planning Commission determined it was
more a of regulatory matter than a land -use or zoning issue, and it didn't belong in the zoning
code, so that's why it's back here. Lubovich further stated that he also feels it's a regulatory
matter, and whether or not the committee wants to do anything with it is the question.
To provide a little history on the issue, Crawford advised that the liquor board asks the city for
their recommendation before they will authorize the temporary permit. In this case, the Mayor
stated that he would allow it as long as the laws were adhered to. It is a decision that was made
by the city that can be made or rescinded at any time depending on who the mayor and council
are, so it may not be necessary to have an ordinance.
Bennett asked that the information be brought to the next regular meeting.
UPDATE ON REPORT FROM NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF CORRECTIONS
Captain Chuck Miller advised that the police department had asked the National Institute of
Corrections (NIC) to provide a technical systems review of the Kent Corrections Facility. This
would provide a review, according to American Corrections Association (ACA) standards, of the
physical plant security, how the corrections officers conduct business, and policies and
procedures. NIC helped when the plans for the existing facility were first formed in 1985, and did
an on-site review prior to it's opening. In addition, the consultant that was selected had been
involved in those processes, so they already had some familiarity with the facility. The review
process was provided at no cost to the City by NIC.
The consultant met with staff, she reviewed upgrades that had been made to the facility itself,
and internal operational procedures. She gave staff and their attitude towards doing their job a
very high rating. She felt they displayed the "Kent Cares" motto. She looked at things like the
alarms, voice activated alarms, camera alarms, etc., and found them to be very modern, but not
user friendly. Some of the recommendations she made will be implemented, however some were
very pricey and will probably not be pursued for some time. The area she spent the most time
on was the review of operations. She advised that operations -wise, Corrections was doing a
good job. They are probably 90% there as far as ACA standards are concerned. The problem,
however, is with the documentation, which they are meeting by only about 50% according to ACA
standards. Captain Miller advised that they have some very good procedures, and they have
implemented some changes since he has been there. However, the procedures manual has not
been updated to include some of the changes, and they are not documenting some of the work
they are doing. Captain Miller advised that he recognized that they were behind in their policy
and procedures manual, and has assigned Corrections Lieutenant George Burke to that project.
Captain Miller explained that the consultant made recommendations with an eye towards
reducing liability. That's why they will be putting a lot of weight in what she said and will try to
implement as many of the non -cost items that they can. Captain Miller further advised that the
consultant indicated that she has reviewed a lot of facilities throughout the United States, and
5
the City of Kent's facility, procedural -wise and operational -wise, is head and shoulders above the
vast majority of those facilities. Captain Miller invitedthecommittee to stop by any time, and if
they would like a co of the report, he would be happrovide rovide it.
Bennett advised that it is his understanding that with the new Regional Justice Center there will
be no allocation for either a juvenile court or holding facility, and he would like to see the police
department, in concert with administration, address this issue during mitigation. Epperly advised
that about a year and a half ago she had talked with Art Wallestein about these issues, and they
basically said that King County was not interested in our juvenile problem. Epperly also advised
the community center is coming up for a vote in the next few months,
and maybe that would be
a facility we might be able to work with. Crawford clarified that due to the Juvenile Justice Act,
it's an impossibility to house juveniles within adult correctional facilities, and it would be like
going up against a brick wall.

Street Overlays - S 212th Street
Wickstrom stated that we have ISTEA funds to offset the cost of
improvements on S 212th Street from Orillia Road to the Green River
and, for James Street from West Valley Highway to East Valley
Highway. He said we are requesting authorization for the Mayor to
sign the agreements; the funds are about $263,000. In response to
Bennett, Wickstrom said we are matching the funds with our annual
overlay money so we have all that -we need.
Committee unanimously recommended authorizing the Mayor to sign the
agreements and establish the budget for same.
Proposed LID - S. 212th Street
Wickstrom explained that we have a project to put HOV lanes on S.
212th from West Valley Highway to SR167. In conjunction with that
project, we want to put in sidewalks, and street lights from the
Green River to the valley freeway. Wickstrom said we have held an
informal public meeting with the participants and received some
opposition from KOA. He said that since we have this project
going, we want to finish off this valley industrial corridor.
In response to Mrs. Rust, Wickstrom said that we are building the
street in such a way that we can add two separate bike paths behind
the sidewalk.
Tim Clark expressed concerns regarding the driveway exiting out of
the O'Brien Elementary School site onto S. 212th. He asked if a
traffic light could possibly be installed for that purpose, at that
location. Wickstrom said we could only do that if the site were
designated for heavily used traffic flow, i.e., a Fred Meyer store
or another major development wherein the developer could
participate in the cost of installing a light.
Committee unanimously recommended that Council proceed with the
formation of the LID.
(commued on reverse side)
Kingsport Condemnation/196th Street Corridor
Brubaker stated that we have an ordinance for 196th Street to
condemn a large trucking industrial warehouse center, namely
Kingsport. This is part of the 196th Street corridor project which
runs along the 196th street alignment between East Valley Highway
and Orillia Road. Brubaker said that we have retained counsel to
assist the City in this condemnation and he has advised that we
amend the existing ordinance. Brubaker asked Committee's
permission to submit the amended ordinance at the next Council
meeting because it will then become effective five days later and
we could begin legal action if necessary.
Committee unanimously agreed that the amended ordinance be
submitted at the next Council meeting.
Recycling/Yard Waste Contract - Ordinance
Brubaker stated that we need to amend the City ordinance making the
disposal of yard waste into the garbage prohibitive because King
County will not accept this in the landfills.
Committee unanimously agreed that the amended ordinance be
submitted at the next Council meeting.
Meeting adjourned: 4:55 P.M.
