Item No. 2A
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Don Wickstrom`n`; Director of Public Works
RE: LID 344 - SE 240th St. and 108th Ave. SE
Traffic Signal
Background
Due to a recent accident and other accidents at the above
referenced intersection, several petitions from nearby residents
were submitted to the City requesting the installation of a traffic
signal. City staff has reviewed the signal warrant criteria at the
subject intersection and find that sufficient warrants are met.
Therefore the staff and the City Council's Public Works Committee
have unanimously agreed to pursue the traffic signal installation.
The City is proposing to fund a portion of the project cost with
the remaining funds being provided by the formation of a Local
Improvement District (LID) . Therefore Resolution No. 1376 was
adopted by City Counail-on December, 1993 establishing January 4,
1993 for the public hearing on the formation of LID 344.
Proposed Improvements
The project consists of the installation of a fully actuated 8 -
phase traffic signal with pedestrian detection and crossing
indications at the intersection of SE 240th St. and 108th Ave. SE.
Project Funding
The total estimated cost for the construction of the proposed
project including engineering, survey, and construction inspection
is $140,000. LID bonding and associated costs add an additional
$10,197.21 bringing the grand total to $150,197.21.
The City is proposing to fund $79,006.45 of the project total. The
balance of $71,702.75 shall be funded by the LID.
Committee agreed to the establishment of a project budget including
transferring the remaining funds from the 104th/260th signal
project ($67,337). The remaining City funds of $11,669.45 will
come from the James St. Safety Improvement budget.
Method of Assessment
An LID assessment boundary was established which includes
properties which utilize 108th Ave SE for ingress and egress to SE
240th St. The total LID c®st is distributed over these properties
based on a zone and termini method as specifically authorized under
State law.
Under this zone and termini method, 8 zone lines 200 feet apart
were established on a radial basis from the signal. The first zone
has a weighing factor of 8, the second zone a factor of 7 and so on
out to the eighth zone with a factor of 1. The square footage is
weighed by multiplying it by these factors. Some properties are
included in more than one zone so the square footage within each
zone for each parcel is weighted accordingly.
This varying assessment rate per square foot was used to account
for the reduction in benefit from the signal improvement the
properties receive as the distance from the signal increases.
Other factors affecting the distribution are as described below:
1, One half of the cost is distributed north of the
intersection and the other one half south of the
intersection. Bonding costs area added to this amount
separately for north and south sides due to the
difference number of parcels.
2. The assessment distribution is based on square footage of
property. A wetland exists on assessment #14. The
` wetland area (an approximate estimate) was deleted from
the square footage calculation due to development
restrictions.
On the south side, the cost was also distributed to properties
j adjacent to the 108th Ave. alignment south to SE 244th St.
However, since the road is not currently open south of the 242nd
block, the southernmost properties do not currently have access to
the signal. Therefore, the potential assessments for these
properties were added to the City share of the funding and the LID
boundary was drawn to not include these properties in the LID.
It should also be noted that originally the City considered
including the single family residential properties in the vicinity
of SE 236th and 237th Streets, however, this resulted in adding
nearly seven thousand dollars to the project cost to collect
approximately eight thousand dollars. Therefore, these properties
and associated costs were dropped from the LID and the $1,235.83
that could have been collected to actually fund the signal is being
funded by the City.
Support for LID
Property owners representing 34.81% of the LID assessment are
committed to this LID via LID no protest covenants. To approve an
LID, property owners with combined LID assessment representing 40%
of the total assessment must support the LID by not protesting.
However, during preliminary contract with the property owners it
was determined that several properties without covenants (6.58%)
also expressed supports giving a potential support level of 41.39%.
This level of support warrants bringing the proposal before the
Council.
Environmental
CAccording to SEPA Rules (WAC 197-11-800 2b) signals are
categorically exempt from SEPA.
Payment of Assessment
Council passing, the ordinance confirming the final assessment
roll (after completion of the construction), there is a 30 -day
eriod in which any portion or all of the assessment can be paid
ithout interest charges. After the 30 -day period, the balance is
aid over a ten year period wherein each year's payment is 1/10th
,,,,.Upon
f the principal plus interest on the unpaid balance. The interest
will be what the market dictates.

Council Agenda
Item No. 2B
WAWT it
Committee unanimously recommended setting a hearing date for the
street vacation of Landing Way from 64th Avenue S. to S. 228th
Street.
Everson Annexation
Wickstrom said we have received Boundary Review Board approval for
a small annexation on 218th Street on the East Hill south of
Garrison Creek Park. He said the next step therefore, would be to
set a date for a public hearing and then decide whether or not to
annex.
Committee unanimously recommended Council set a hearing date for
the Everson Annexation at the December 7th Council meeting.
Bridge Repainting
Wickstrom stated that approximately 3 months ago we received notice
that federal funds were available for bridge painting projects. He
said that the Meeker Street bridge over the Green River is the
City's and was last painted in 1974 and needs to be repainted
within the next 1-2 years. Wickstrom said that the bridge fell
within the federal qualifications for repainting. He said the City
looked at it in terms of replacement but it would not qualify for
any replacement funds. He said the bridge was found to be
structurally sound but functionally deficient, which means that
instead of replacing it, they would allow us to build a parallel
two lane bridge, thus having four lanes with two bridges.
Wickstrom said we applied for a grant; the total bridge painting
project is $260,000 and we received an 80% grant. He said our
share is $52,000. He said there is money left over in the
unencumbered funds of the Street Capital Improvement funds to pay
for our share. Wickstrom requested the Committee's approval for
authorization to accept the grant, establish the budget and fund
the local match.
In response to White, Wickstrom said we have never painted the
bridge because it was previously a State project, however after
building the 516 by-pass, the State turned it over to us.
Committee unanimously recommended authorization to accept the
grant, establish the budget and fund the local match.
Basketball Hoops
Wickstrom said that this issue has already been.discussed with
Bennett and Mann. He said that residents have notified the City
that there are basketball hoops placed adjacent to a City right of
way or road. Wickstrom said the road is being used as a play area
for shooting basketballs and there is a liability to that. He said
we have had to respond recently because of complaints, and had to
address one in particular. In so doing, we saw six others on the

meeting and that the issue of potential future
zoning was raised. He said the County's con-
cern was that the land would be upzoned. HE
MOVED that Resolution No. 1379 dealing with
this concern be adopted, and explained that the
City would be on record as having no problem
making an agreement with the County that cur-
rent zoning under the Soos Creek Plan would be

ANNEXATION (PUBLIC HEARINGS - ITEM 2B)
ZONING Chestnut Ridge Annexation Proposed Initial
Zoning (AZ -93-1). The Planning Commission has
recommended approval of the proposed initial
zoning designation outlined in Alternative #1
for the Chestnut Ridge Annexation area. Kevin
O'Neil of the Planning Department noted that
the bulk of the area was zoned RS -7200 when it
was in King County, part was zoned Growth
Reserved, meaning that very low density de-
velopment would be allowed until the end of
1994 at which time RS -5000 would go into effect
allowing approximately 8 units per acre, and
that there were a couple of parcels zoned
RS -9600, slightly lower than Kent's 7200. He
noted that Alternative #1 would zone the bulk
of the land R1-7200 which is essentially the
same as the County's RS -7200, part would be
zoned R1-9.6 which is consistent with the
County's zoning, and the 29 -acre parcel would
be zoned RA, which is the lowest density single
family residential zone at 1 unit per acre.
Janette Nuss of the Planning Commission said
that they felt Alternative #1 coincides best
with the Comprehensive Plan.
61
December 7, 1993
ANNEXATION Woods declared the public hearing open.
ZONING Michael Kubicek, 20621 92nd Avenue South,
stated that 4 units per acre (9.6 zoning) is
too many, and that there should be only one
unit per acre, because of the steep slope.
Jack Kastien, 20609 94th Avenue South, pointed
out the sensitivity of the hillside and urged
the Councilmembers to visit the site before the
next public hearing. There were no further
comments and ORR MOVED to continue the public
hearing on the Chestnut Ridge Annexation
Initial Zoning Designation to January 18, 1994.
Houser seconded and the motion carried.
COMPREHENSIVE (PUBLIC HEARINGS - ITEM 2A)
PLAN MAP Chestnut Ridge Annexation - Comprehensive Plan
DESIGNATION Map Designation (CPA -93-2). The Planning
Commission has recommended approval of the
proposed plan amendment changing the city-wide
Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map to designate
the entire Chestnut Ridge Annexation area as
SF, Single Family, as depicted in Alternate
Plan Amendment #1.
Woods noted receipt of letters from Joel Ross
and Frank E. Fleischacker. HOUSER MOVED to
make the letters part of the record. Johnson
seconded and the motion carried. Matt Jackson
of the Planning Department noted that the area
is approximately 186 acres, contains 294 par-
cels, and has 743 residents. He stated that
the land use is generally single family
residential. He noted that there are signifi-
cant slopes which exceed 25%, and that slopes
exceeding 15% can have severe development
limitations placed on them. He noted that an
open house was held to display the three
alternatives, which was well attended, and that
staff has recommended Alternative #1. Janette
Nuss of the Planning Commission noted that many
residents reported drainage problems after
development occurred, and that traffic is an-
other concern with residents. She said that
the steepness of the slopes is one reason they
have recommended Alternative #1. Nuss noted
that one property owner is in favor of town -
homes, and that the needs of the residents
should be considered.
Woods declared the public hearing open.
Michael Kubicek, 20621 92nd Ave. South, noted
that in 1989, 1990 and 1991, the County
9
December 7, 1993
COMPREHENSIVE documented that, because of heavy rains, the
PLAN MAP slope slid forward to the road. He said he
DESIGNATION would like to see the road moved. Andrew
Fuller, 20628 95th Avenue South, urged the
Council to limit development and approve the
Planning Commission's recommendation. He also
suggested that the Council consider acquiring
the steepest portion for a greenbelt or park.
Jack Kastien, 20609 94th Avenue South, reminded
the Council that this area is earthquake sen-
sitive. He added that after a Cat had prepared
the area for surveyors, the area was so sensi-
tive that the runoff closed the road below. He
spoke in opposition to any type of multifamily
zoning, and urged the Council to agree with the
Planning Commission's recommendation. Ron
Harmon, 20627 95th Avenue South, noted that
because of earthquake sensitivity, when their
house was built they had to put footings 8-10'
below grade, and that they often have water in
their basement which must be pumped out. There
were no further comments and ORR MOVED to close
the public hearing. Houser seconded and the
motion carried. ORR THEN MOVED to approve
the Planning Commission's recommendation of
approval for the Chestnut Ridge Annexation Area
Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment as described
in Alternative #1 (CPA -93-2), and to direct the
City Attorney to prepare the necessary resolu-
tion. Bennett seconded and the motion carried.

gave them the proposal for an interlocal agree-
ment, and that the City will be eligible to

ment funds. HOUSER MOVED to approve Resolution
No. 1378 relating to the 1993-94 Growth Manage-

sion on September 18, 1990. The preliminary
plat lapses three years from the date of ap-
proval under the Kent City Code, 12.04.390(A).

tion date to lapse. The City Code provides for
a one-year extension upon showing a good faith
attempt to submit the final plot, which HCE has
shown. ORR MOVED to approve a one-year exten-
sion of the Harvey Preliminary Subdivision

DEFENSE proposes to handle the public defense contract
for $137,000 inclusive of all costs and appeals
annually, and that Jenkins has proposed
$130,000 to a maximum of 1300 cases. He
explained that although Jenkins' proposal is
less, the Ellis proposal is more cost effective
because of the volume of cases, and recommended
that the Ellis proposal be accepted. JOHNSON
MOVED that the City accept the public defense
contract under the terms and conditions de-
scribed by and subject to final approval of the
City Attorney. Houser seconded and the motion
carried. It was clarified that Johnson's

(OTHER BUSINESS - ITEM 4H)
Municipal Court Ordinance_ In passing
Ordinance No. 3125 establishing the Kent
Municipal Court, the section pertaining to
appointment of judges pro tem inadvertently was
drafted in conflict with applicable State law.
The proposed ordinance brings the local code
into conformance with State law by giving the
Mayor, and not the municipal judge, the au-
thority to appoint judges pro tem. In order to
resolve this conflict before opening date of
the Kent Municipal Court, an emergency must be
declared to effect immediate passage. Assis-
tant City Attorney Brubaker noted that State
law stipulates that an emergency ordinance must
be passed by a unanimous vote of the Council -
members in attendance. HOUSER MOVED that
Ordinance No. 3146 authorizing the Mayor to
appoint judges pro tem as required by State law
A
December 7, 1993
MUNICIPAL and declaring an emergency for the immediate
COURT passage thereof, be adopted. Mann seconded.
Bill Doolittle, 412 N. Washington, noted that
Council passed an ordinance on June 15 creating
the municipal court which took effect 30 days
later. He noted that the ordinance stated that
the judge would be named by the Mayor and
approved by the Council within 30 days, or by
August 15. He stated that this did not happen.
He also commented that State law says that
within 30 days after passing an ordinance
creating a court, a judge will be named and
confirmed by Council and that this was not
done. He noted that it also says that in order
to have a judge in place by January 1st, the
judge must be appointed by December 1st of the
previous year, which was not done. He asked
whether the judge pro tem will need confirma-
tion of the city council. Brubaker explained
that appointment of a judge pro tem needs no
confirmation by the City Council. Mann stated
that a judge was appointed but not confirmed,
and that the law was complied with.
The motion to adopt ordinance 3146 then
carried.

(OTHER BUSINESS - ITEM 4D)
West Hill Fire Station No. 73. In 1986, during
the methane gas problems on the West Hill, a
settlement with the City of Seattle was
reached. A part of that agreement was to place
a neighborhood park or Tot Lot at the site of
the old fire station. The Fire Department
solicited responses from the neighbors and
reported these to the Public Safety Committee.
The Public Safety Committee recommends that the
property be surplused and that the original
agreement be honored.
Fire Chief Angelo clarified that funds are not
in the budget for building a park, demolishing
the station, or removing the underground tank.
He recommended that the property be surplused,
and be used for storage in the meantime, since
it will take time for Parks to plan and finance
a tot lot or park. He also asked that the
original intent for use of the area be
considered.
MANN MOVED that the West Hill Fire Station
property be surplused, and that it continue to
be used by the Fire Department for storage
until the implementation of a plan to be
proposed through the Parks Committee. Bennett

Acting Finance Director Miller noted that the
levy is 2.79 and that the assessed valuation
has increased each year since 1983. She said
that the figures received today were lower for
the first time in many years. She explained
that levy is $3.22 and that it was $3.19 in
1992. Miller noted that other cities in the
area also experienced a decrease in their
figures. She explained that the levy needs to
be adopted tonight and if the figures are
incorrect, they can be changed. Upon Wood's
suggestion, Miller agreed to contact cities on
the East side about the figures they were
given.
HOUSER MOVED to adopt Ordinance No. 3144 fixing
the tax levy for 1994. Mann seconded and the
motion carried with Bennett voting nay due to
the lack of information.

1. SUBJECT: FIRE DEPARTMENT MEDICAL PHYSICALS - CONTRACT
2. SUMMARY STATEMENT: Authorization for the Mayor to sign the
Medical Examinations Services Contract with Occupational Health
Services Valley Medical Center.
The Fire Department plans to solicit RFP's for medical physi-
cals every three (3) years in order to keep costs at a minimum.
RFP's were received from Occupational Health Services Valley
Medical Center and Virginia Mason Hospital for the years 1994
through 1996.
After reviewing the RFP's for services, responsiveness, flexi-
bility, scheduling, cost and program management, the Fire Chief
and Public Safety Committee recommend that the contract be
awarded to Occupational Health Services Valley Medical Center.
An annual budget has been established. Since the account
exceeds $15,000, an RFP and a contract are required.

COMPARISON OF RFP'S RECEIVED
FOR MEDICAL PHYSICALS
Cost comparison for firefighter medical physicals as proposed by
Occupational Health Services Valley Medical Center (OHSVMC) and
Virginia Mason Hospital (VMH).
Physicals are classified as new hire physicals, annual physicals,
hazardous materials team physicals and new volunteer physicals.
Prices reflect cost of physicals with and without stress
electrocardiogram (SEKG). The stress EKG is a standard test
administered to new hire firefighters and employees within certain
medical profiles and risk factors per the medical recommendations,
department information needs and the Union contract.

EXHIBIT A
REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL
KENT FIRE DEPARTMENT MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS
To conduct annual medical examinations, pre-employment medical
examinations, and Hazardous Materials Team medical examinations for
the City of Kent Fire Department for a three (3) year period
beginning in 1994.
Proposals will be received from medical facilities for conducting
the subject medical examinations. Such proposals will be received
at the City of Kent City Clerks Office, 2204th Avenue South, Kent,
Washington 98032-5895, up to 3:00 p.m. on October 4, 1993.
After all proposals have been thoroughly reviewed, the successful
proposer -shall be notified.
The proposals will be clearly marked "PROPOSAL FOR CONDUCTING
MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS FOR THE KENT FIRE DEPARTMENT".
The Kent Fire Department reserves the right to reject any or all
proposals or accept any proposal presented which meet or exceed
these specifications and which they may deem to be in the best
interest of the jurisdiction and not necessarily be bound to accept
the lowest cost proposal.
Award is subject to successful negotiation of a contract. Each
proposer shall submit a copy of all forms that will be used by
their medical facility in carrying out the subject medical
examinations. These forms will be approved by the Kent Fire
Department prior to their use.
The "Minimum Medical Standards for Firefighters in Washington
Cities and Fire Districts" (Large Cities and Fire Districts
Edition) as published by the Association of Washington Cities and
the Washington State Association of Fire Chiefs, adopted by the
City of Kent Civil Service Commission, shall be the basis for the
examinations. A complete copy is attached to this request for
proposal.
As a minimum, all tests reflected in this request for proposal
shall be conducted. Any exceptions or additions shall be noted on
a separate page entitled "Exceptions/Additions". Each item listed
will indicate if it is an exception or addition to the
requirements.
Each proposal shall state where the exams will be conducted and the
amount of time the exam will take. Note: All tests or portions of
the medical examination shall be conducted at one facility and the
complete examination shall be completed in one visit unless follow-
up testing is required. The Kent Fire Department may wish to visit
the proposers' facilities.
I
Each proposal shall include a follow-up visit with the Physician on
all annual medical examinations and a follow-up visit for all
applicants who are hired after their pre-employment medical
examination.
In 1979, based on input from the department Physician, the Kent
Fire Department adopted a schedule of "Annual" medical examinations
based on age and risk.
Generally, a medical examination would be given by age as follows:
18
- 29 years
old ---------------------
every 4 years
30
- 36 years
old ---------------------
every 3 years
37
- 45 years
old ---------------------
every 2 years
46
years old &
up ---------------------
annually
Those firefighters with known health problems which might pre-
dispose them to injury or illness would arbitrarily be assigned to
more frequent examinations by the Physician in charge. Likewise,
if a firefighter feels a need for an examination, he may request
one.
Per Union Contract, the results of these examinations shall be kept
confidential by the Physician and the Fire Department. Prior to
notifying the Fire Department of the results of the examination and
any tests conducted, the employee shall be notified of the same in
a timely manner, unless in the 'Physician's opinion, immediate
notification of the department is necessary. No information shall
be released to any other.party without prior written permission by
the employee, for each requested release of information. The
Physician shall only be allowed to provide to the Fire Department
information which relates to the employee's medical fitness for
duty according to the adopted medical standards of the Department.
The Physician shall provide results of lab tests and analysis to
the employee.
Based on the above information, approximately eighty five (85)
medical examinations will be conducted annually. Approximately
forty-five (45) annual physicals will be conducted in April and
May. The remaining number will be scheduled during November and
December.
Approximately fifteen (15) pre-employment medical examinations are
conducted annually. These are usually conducted in January.
Approximately twenty (20) Hazardous Materials Team medical
examinations are conducted annually, usually in the months of
September and October and as the team might be exposed to hazardous
materials.
Records detailing results of Hepatitis B Vaccination and tests
shall be maintained and forwarded to the Department. Routine
boosters will be administered at least five (5) years after first
positive titer -reaction. Titer test will be provided to members
who have not previously received one. Test for tuberculous will be
offered to all members receiving a physical, as well as for all
department members requesting an annual tuberculous screen

SCOPE OF WORK
Introduction
The basis for the physicals which we will be providing to the
Kent Fire Department is the "Minimum Medical Standards for
Firefighters in Washington Cities and Fire Districts". Our
intention is to provide the medical services requested by the
Kent Fire Department consistent with the policies set by the
Department. However, the medical standards used as the basis
for these physicals are to be used "...as a guide only in
determining fitness for duty...".
Our approach will be to provide the physical as requested and
to work closely with the Kent Fire Department to make the best
decision in each case. Our physicians (see the resumes for
each of them in the resume section of this proposal) will use
their own judgement about whether the person can do the job.
If there are medical findings which would appear to disqualify
the person based on a strict interpretation of the "Minimum
Medical Standards", then the physician will contact Chief
Scott to discuss next steps. Next steps could include
referral to a specialist, additional testing in the
Occupational Health Clinic or disqualification. No additional
testing beyond the specific exam components or referrals will
be undertaken without the approval of the Kent Fire
Department.
Our underlying philosophy is that we can not make
recommendations in a vacuum and that we need the input and
involvement of the employer. We believe that the best
decisions will be made for each person if we as the medical
provider and the employer are working closely together. After
each firefighter has been seen in our clinic, the physician
will call the Kent Fire Department to give an initial
assessment. This assessment will be preliminary, pending the
final results of the lab testing, and will be specifically
related to performance of duties.
12
DESCRIPTION OF SPECIFIC SERVICES
On the next pages the prices are given for the three specific
services requested: pre-employment examinations, annual
examinations and hazardous material team examinations. In
each case the specific service is listed, and the price for
that service is indicated. There are some instances where we
are making alternate recommendations for those specific
services. Those are plainly shown but will not be implemented
without the formal approval of the Kent Fire Department.
In -all cases the examinations will be conducted at
Occupational Health Services, 220 SW 43rd, Renton, Washington.
The Resting and Maximal EKG will be conducted at Valley
Medical Center. That test will be scheduled one hour prior to
the examination in the clinic so that all exam components will
be done at one time for the convenience of the firefighter and
the department. The EKG and the examination will take
approximately two (2) to two and one half (2 1/2) hours.
All forms used in the examination are included in the Forms
section of this proposal. The Report of Medical Evaluation,
which relates to the employee's medical fitness for duty
according to the accepted medical standards, is the only form
which the department will see.
The prices shown in this section are our normal list prices.
We have not shown a total price per physical because it is
very unlikely that any one firefighter will receive all
services. The most variable elements are the Hepatitis B
services which can cost up to $300.00. The prices quoted will
be in effect for the entire three year contract period.
Maintaining our business with the Kent Fire Department is very
important to us. Should price become the deciding issue, we
are asking for the right to adjust our price quote to be more
competitive.

NOTES
Note 1
The audio booth used by Occupational Health Services is
calibrated on a daily basis, rather than on an annual basis.
Note 2
The price shown for a physical capacities evaluation is the
price for a screen performed by a physical therapist. We are
recommending that for new hires, a screen will provide
adequate information about the agility of.the person. If the
person is not adequately able to pass the screen, Kent Fire
Department will be contacted by the physician to determine
appropriate next steps. A full physical capacities evaluation
can cost.as much as $500. It is not our intent to provide
that service.
Note 3
The price shown is for the use of calipers. It is our opinion
that if good calipers are appropriately used by well trained
staff, then the results can be a good screening tool.

NOTES
Note 1
The audio booth used by occupational Health Services is
calibrated on a daily basis, rather than on an annual basis.
Note 2
It is not our recommendation that stress EKG's be performed on
all annual examinations. We are recommending that stress
EKG's be performed on annual examinations on a periodic basis.
The need and frequency for these should be based on age/sex,
risk factors, and the presence of specific symptoms. Using
the same criteria for all annual examinations, we recommend
that our physicians decide when to do a stress EKG and that it
be done only with the approval of the Kent Fire Department.
This recommendation, in addition to being clinically
appropriate, will save the Kent Fire Department a great deal
of money.
Note 3
The price shown for a physical capacities evaluation is the
price for a screen performed by a physical therapist. We are
recommending that for new hires, a screen will provide
adequate information about the agility of the person. If the

ABSENT: Committee Member Paul Mann
Kingsport Industrial 196th Middle Leg Condemnation Ordinance
Wickstrom said that we have been negotiating with the property
owners for several years. The property is located on the west side
of the Burlington Northern tracks, east of Western Processing.
Wickstrom said that we may need to condemn in order to obtain it.
In response to Bennett, Wickstrom said it is not finalized at this
point due to money and the property owner wants zoning changes. He
explained that the zoning changes would give the owner more
flexibility on the use of his site however, this is not within our
control. Brubaker said that we hoped that we could negotiate a
reasonable dollar figure to purchase this but at the same time, if
we are unable to do so, because of the zoning and dollar issues, we
want to start on the condemnation, as the property owner is well
aware. Brubaker stated that we are requesting authority to begin
the condemnation process which begins with an ordinance, 30 days
later the ordinance becomes effective and we file the condemnation
action. In response to White, Brubaker stated that it will also
provide a tax benefit to the property owner however, the owner
would be exempt from a excise tax payment either way.
Committee unanimously recommended adoption of an ordinance
authorizing the City to proceed with condemnation at Kingsport
Industrial on 196th Corridor, Middle Leg.
Sidewalks at Sequoia Jr High School
Wickstrom stated that we developed an estimate and met with the
various property owners and they were basically negative however,
the school is not going to protest but they will not firmly support
this either. He said that the school's intent was originally to
put in an asphalt sidewalk. Under the covenant, the school will
have to replace this with a full half -street improvement and
1
1�J
essentially will be throwing away money. Wickstrom said that since
we have almost 80% in covenants we should do the improvements.
Bennett feels that if all they were asking for was to asphalt along
one side, and there was so much negative response, Bennett feels
the timing is off and there should be a better time to do this.
Wickstrom said that we are proposing to pay 30% (approximately
$39,000) and our out-of-pocket cost for the asphalt would be about
$10 -$12 thousand dollars. White said that this was originally
started by the school P.T.A. and students. Wickstrom said that in
his experience, there is never a good economic time for an LID.
Committee unanimously agreed to authorize staff to proceed with the
formation of an LID.

RE: SISTER CITY RESOLUTION
DATE: NOVEMBER 23, 1993
Following a meeting in May, 1993 with officials from the Kent
Chamber of Commerce (Steve Burpee), Green River College (Clark
Townsend), Kent School District (Dr. Jim Hager) and the City of
Kent (Mayor Dan Kelleher); it was decided that continued
discussions should take place on matters related to sister cities
and international affairs. And, that collectively we could assist
each other in exchanges focused on cultural, recreational,
educational, governmental and economic interests.
The Kent Sister Cities Association was formed to pursue
options and alternatives for developing and maintaining a program
which would give structure to sister cities affiliates under an
umbrella 501c-3 organization. This new non-profit organization
would help facilitate the maintenance and growth of sister cities
and allow for programs which would help fund sister cities.
The process for this Committee includes the following:
1. Seek City Council approval via a resolution to
support establishing a sister city affiliation
policy for the City of Kent.
2. Develop Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws and complete
the 501c-3 application.
3. Assist the Sister City affiliates in establishing goals
and objectives and a work plan.
4. Continue serving the community and its citizens with
programs which would support and enhance international
relations.
Attached is a "draft" resolution for your review. Tom
Brubaker from the Law Department has reviewed it and made minor
changes which were incorporated into the document.

The meeting was called to order at 4:03 p.m. by Chairman Johnson.
PUBLIC HEARING COMMENTS - KAWASAKI v. HARLEY DAVIDSON
MOTORCYCLES
Chief Crawford noted that his memo included in the packet, explains everything. He informed
the Committee that he's talked to the individual who raised a question, at the last Council
meeting, regarding the purchase of three Kawasaki motorcycles for the Police Department. He
explained that the individual felt the Council should support American industry and purchase
Harley Davidson motorcycles instead of foreign ones. He also explained to the individual that
Kawasaki motorcycles are made in Nebraska which is in the center of the U.S. heartland.
OCTOBER FINANCIAL REPORT
Acting Finance Director Miller reviewed the summary financial report for the period ending
October 31, 1993.
REPORT OF YEAR END FINANCIAL ACTIVITY
Acting Finance Director Miller explained that some housekeeping ordinances were scheduled for
the last meeting in December, but wasn't sure there would be a meeting. McCarthy clarified
that it just needs to be on record that the Committee discussed the issue, and then it can be
brought to Council sometime in January, 1994. Miller explained the things to be included in
the ordinances, and noted that this is an information item only.
POSSIBLE CHANGES TO 1994 PRELIMINARY BUDGET
Acting Finance Director Miller noted that recommended changes to the 1994 Preliminary Budget
are as follows:
1) Changes to fund balance - based on October Financial Report;
2) Increases due to reclassifications approved by Council on 10/19/93;
3) Reallocating emergency housing budget to emergency cold weather program;
4) Moving water quality program from general fund to drainage fund, and reducing the cost
allocation for no net dollar impact;
5) Reducing the criminal justice grant for Project Lighthouse from $80,060 to $50,677 per
State information received on 11/23/93;
6) Increasing workers compensation rates to our self-insurance fund to cover $20,000 for
safety equipment and $100,000 more for increased claim costs based on the October
report and November trend;
7) Miscellaneous minor balancing adjustments.
She noted that adoption of the 1994 Budget is scheduled for December 7, 1993, and that the
property tax levy needs to be adopted also, but the information from the State may not be
received until 12/6 or 12/7/93. Upon Johnson's question, Miller explained that an itemized list
with dollar amounts for miscellaneous minor balance adjustments, as recommended by staff, is
included in the packets on pages 2, 3, and 4. She further explained that a list of adjustments
recommended by Council and the Golf Advisory Board, not currently included in the 1994
Preliminary Budget, is on Page 9.
Johnson suggested each item be taken separately and acted upon with White and Orr concurring.
(A) Harrison House rental assistance program - $5,760. Johnson recommended that this item
be included in the Human Services Budget rather than putting it into an interest-bearing checking
account. ORR SO MOVED. White seconded and the motion carried 3.0. (B) Third Fire Chief
position - $62,628. Johnson explained that this position was recommended by the Public Safety
Committee and the Civil Service Commission. ORR MOVED to include the addition of a third
Assistant Fire Chief position into the 1994 General Fund Budget. Johnson seconded and the
motion carried 2-1, with White opposed. (C) Public Safety Program - requested by
Councilmember Bennett. Johnson noted that the program consists of the following: (1) adding
two additional police officers 1/1/94; (2) adding grant revenue and cost of 4 officers 7/1/93;
(3) adding two patrol vehicles 7/1/93; (4) deleting diversity training; (5) moving part of General
Fund portion of Fire Equipment to CIP; (6) reducing ending fund balance. Orr explained that
she is in support of adding the police officers, but her concern is with the funds chosen to use
for these positions. She explained that deleting the parking garage study is fine, but it's a one-
time only situation and then where to go from there. It was the consensus of the Committee to
defer this item until the grant comes through. (D) Capital Improvement Fund - deleting parking
garage study. WHITE MOVED to delete the parking garage study for $75,000; add $25,000
to the sidewalk improvement fund; and put $50,000 into the fund balance of the CIP. Orr
seconded and the motion carried 3-0. (E) Two items to be included in the CIP 1994 Budget
Plan for the Golf Course are: (1) Riverbend Golf Course master plan; and (2) Par 3 irrigation.
Patrice Thorell, Acting Parks Director, explained that as part of the transition from City to
contractor management of the golf course, it was agreed to increase revenues and reduce
expenditures with some proceeds and buy out monies going to capital improvements at the
Course. She noted that the Golf Advisory Board recommends these two items. McCarthy
clarified that the $20,000 recommended is golf course money from buy out funds, and not CIP
or General Fund money. Miller noted that $81,000 is left from the buy out funds, and
recommends a fund balance of about 8 % be put into the Golf Course Fund, kept frozen unless
an emergency comes up and by next year there will be approximately $200,000 available. It
was the consensus of the Committee to defer this item until a Golf Superintendent is on board
next year.
McCarthy noted that on the bottom of Page 9, in the packet, it states that the preliminary budget
included full funding for Project Lighthouse of $70,254; and a 1 % permanent funding proposal
for Economic Development Fund of $63,997; and that both items need to be corrected.
Upon Johnson's question, McCarthy clarified that the diversity training for $50,000 can be either
spread evenly between all departments or put into one account for all city-wide training in the
Human Resources Department budget. It was the consensus of the Committee to put the
$50,000 for diversity training into an all city-wide training account in Human Resources.
ORR MOVED to recommend adoption of the preliminary budget with the changes as listed
above. Johnson seconded and the motion carried 2-1 with White opposed.
The meeting was adjourned at 5:17 p.m.

APPROVAL OF VOUCHERS
All claims for the period ending 11/15/93 in the amount of $1,284,586.27, and claims for the
period ending 11/30/93 in the amount of $1,830,372.16, were approved 2-0.
1994 PROPERTY TAX LEVY ORDINANCES
Acting Finance Director Miller distributed and explained a new handout regarding property tax
comparison covering 1991 through 1994. She noted that tax levies are due by November 15
according to RCW 84.52.020 and RCW 84.52.070, but that information is not usually received
in time to meet the deadline.
Miller explained that the County has only given a telephone estimate of the amount which is
considerably lower than projected by the City. She noted that no explanation has been given by
King County to date, but that they will continue to investigate and see in what area the amount
decreased. Upon Houser's question, she noted that the difference is $290,000,000 less than
projected. She explained that the property tax levy needs to be adopted immediately so that
King County can assess the people. ORR MOVED approval of the tax levy ordinance, as
presented. Houser seconded and the motion carried 2-0.
KING COUNTY INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT ON RECEIPT OF GROWTH
MANAGEMENT ACT FUNDS
Planning Manager Satterstrom explained that the growth management funds which come from
the State of Washington go first to King County and then are disbursed to the different cities
within the County. He noted that the funds are disbursed through an interlocal agreement called
the Road Management Services Agreement, and that the County would like to allocate these
funds as soon as possible. He explained that normally it would go to the Planning Committee,
but because they cancelled their meeting this month, and the County would like a response by
December 10th, it was brought to Operations Committee and scheduled for Council tonight.
ORR MOVED to approve the interlocal agreement with King County, and also the resolution
prepared. Houser seconded and the motion carried 2-0.
VESTING OF llL v r Lurivliil. i 1 d ora� • -- - -- -
attached ordinance is output from a staff committee which has met
McCarthy explained that the
twice a month for the last three months. He noted that originally St. Anthony's Church applied
for a permit to add a building on to their property, but they were caught in the loop of which
rules applied because their plans weren't changed and the City was in the middle of changing
the construction standards. He noted that the question arose as to when the Church was vested
for proper rules to be followed. Lubovich explained that the City never defined when vesting
should take place even though there are some vesting statutes and case law in the State of
Washington. He noted that the ordinance defines when vesting takes place after a completed
building application has been submitted, a form that is being proposed and prepared by the
Office of Development Services, and that the City issues a determination as to when an appli-
cation is complete for vesting purposes only. He explained that vesting only applies to the scope
of the project as applied for under the permit, and that the same vesting rights cannot be kept
if adding to or changing the project. He noted that vesting rights expire with the expiration of
the development permit application and doesn't continue indefinitely. He noted that he is
requesting this be an action item and sent on to Committee or Council as soon as possible. ORR
MOVED to send this item on to the full council under Other Business. Houser seconded and
the motion carried 2-0.
REPORT OF THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICE CONSULTANT
Fred Wilmeth, consultant for ODS, distributed and reviewed copies of a progress report that
explains where the process is currently. He noted that the vesting ordinance will signify who
makes the calls as to whether an application is complete. He also noted that the vesting
ordinance and development of a master application form are two very important takeoff points
toward establishing a one-stop shop. He explained that the one page form includes all informa-
tion the developer or applicant needs to submit to the City, and that both the form and ordinance
will facilitate the intake process which can be verified by the Building Official. He also included
in the packet the November, 1993 Monthly Report of Office of Development Services Activities.
Wilmeth stated that they are getting to a point where the Council can make a determination of
how much backlog they feel is an acceptable backlog given the amount of staff it takes. He
noted that by next Wednesday, McCarthy will be given reports as he finishes up this project.
CABLE TV UPDATE
Alana McIalwain, Administration Manager, distributed a copy of the franchising authority
certification and rate approval for the City of Kent. She updated the Committee on the progress
thus far with Cable TV, and noted that a resolution request taken to the Public Works
Committee is now on the Council Agenda tonight regarding basic rate regulation in accordance
with the FCC. She explained that the lighting and monitors are some unexpected costs which
need action today in order to accomplish the goal of a live Cable TV broadcast on January 4,
1994. McIalwain noted that a public hearing is scheduled for January 18 to give citizens an
opportunity to make comments regarding rate regulations. She stated that the equipment has
been ordered, but if the equipment is not on site by January 1st then TCI Cable will come in and
do the live broadcast. Upon Houser's question, McCarthy noted that the lighting is covered and
will be discussed as the last (added) item on the agenda today. Action on this item was deferred
until the lighting is discussed at the end of the meeting. McIalwain stated that she has talked
to Judy Woods, Council President, and Jon Johnson, Chair of the Budget Committee, about the
dilemma and they both agreed that they can support the cost of lighting.
E
SISTER CITY ASSOCIATION RESOLUTION AND BYLAWS
McIalwain explained that the City of Kent, Green River Community College, Kent Chamber of
Commerce, and the Kent School District have been working collaboratively in supporting sister
city affiliations and any future sister city affiliations. She noted that the resolution in the agenda
packet will help to accomplish this goal. She also noted that the City of Kent currently has three
sister cities as well as a friendship city as follows: 1) Kherson, Ukraine; 2) Kiabara, Japan;
3) Yangzhou, China; 4) Maanshan, China (friendship city), and a potential sister city in Norway.
Mark Foss noted that the resolution establishes a committee called Kent Sister Cities Association
(KSCA) and is designated as the citizen support group in the sister city relationships. He noted
that this committee will go a long way in helping to make the sister cities more than what
they've been and enhance what is already there. Mike McIntyre, Green River Community
College and Chairman of the KSCA, noted that this opportunity is very challenging, exciting,
and the first step in having an orderly process by which to work with sister cities. He noted that
it will probably result in a better relationship. ORR MOVED approval of the resolution.
Houser seconded and the motion carried 2-0.
STATUS ON THE CITY HALL AND COURT REMODELS
ADDED ITEM - MCCARTHY
McCarthy updated the Committee and distributed a budget analysis for both the Municipal Court
and City Hall remodels. He noted that both projects have required some change orders and have
added costs as follows: 1) acquiring a computer system for the municipal court similar to Discis
used by the Aukeen Court at a cost of about $30,000; 2) asbestos was found and removed in
both projects for $14,205; 3) providing walled offices for the City Attorney at a cost of $31,674;
4) upgrading the City Hall Fire Alarm System with added cost to meet ADA requirements for
such things as strobe lights for the deaf, estimated to cost $65,000. McCarthy explained that
$25,000 has been put into the 1994 CIP fund, but that the $40,000 shortfall would come from
a combination of the ADA budget and the 1994 Public Building Maintenance Funds; 5) lighting
to make the Council Chambers suitable for live Cable TV broadcasts, $9,000 which will need
to come from the 1994 Public Building Maintenance Funds as well. He stated that he feels the
projects can be funded within available budgets related to the court and city hall projects.
The meeting was adjourned at 5:03 p.m.

other unidentified citizens
The meeting was moved to the Police Department Conference Room due to constructim noise
at City Hall. It was then called to order at 5:30 p.m. by Chairman Mann.
BAGMAN CAFE FIRE INSPECTION ISSUES
Chief Administrative Officer McCarthy explained that this issue was discussed at the last Public
Works Committee meeting regarding fire inspections at the Bagman Cafe. Don Rust, owner of
Bagman Cafe, noted that the Fire Department is requesting installation of panic door hardware
on certain doors in the restaurant per violation of a fire code. He stated that the City signed off
on a fire permit a few years ago when the restaurant first opened, and that the violation was
overlooked until now, but the City is requiring compliance as soon as possible. He opined that
the City should pay the bill because they originally approved the permit.
Assistant Chief Berg explained that the Uniform Fire Code is a consensus code written by fire
people, business people, and lobbyists hired by various special interest groups. He noted that
the fire code is adopted by the State and cities within the State; and that the Code states "when
the occupancy load exceeds 50, two exits shall be required." He explained that exit doors
cannot be equipped with dead bolt locks, but must be equipped with panic hardware. Berg noted
that the Bagman Cafe has three doors - a front, back and patio door; and that Mr. Rust was
given two options as follows: 1) a secondary door is needed for egression and equipped with
panic hardware; or 2) reduction of the occupancy load below 50. Mann expressed concern about
the inspector overlooking such an important safety issue, as safety should be paramount; and he
requested that the Department Head inform the inspector of the inefficiency concerning this
issue. He noted, however, that the City must abide by the law and cannot bend the rules to
make accommodations for special situations. Upon Mann's question, Rust noted that a variance
on the panic hardware is requested because both the front and bank doors are opened for
business during the day. Lubovich clarified that the City cannot amend the Code to make excep-
tions, and that he recommends against it because of the liability exposure. Chief Angelo
explained that each year numerous buildings have to be inspected with limited staffing and that
firefighters, with limited knowledge, are sent out with check lists to do basic inspections. He
further explained that when the inspector eventually goes through a building, he may spot a
violation. He noted that the only other choice would be to discontinue inspections by firefighters
creating a greater liability to the City because of the vast territory fire inspectors would have to
cover as well as code violations. Mann stated that there is no resolution to this problem because
the fire codes and State law cannot be changed.
SOAP ORDINANCE
Chief Crawford explained that the SOAP Ordinance is meant to restrict prostitution and adopt
the same ordinance as surrounding jurisdictions. He noted that the ordinance is designed to give
offenders, guilty of prostitution, a warning that if caught on that stretch of the road they can be
arrested. He recommended that the City of Kent enact or begin to process a SOAP Ordinance
to join surrounding communities and keep prostitution on the move rather than allow them to
gather in Kent. Lubovich clarified that the ordinance covers anyone convicted of prostitution,
permitting prostitution, or patronizing a prostitute under Chapter 9.02 of the Kent City Code,
and can be used as a condition of probation.
Assistant City Attorney Allen noted that the SOAP Ordinance would allow police officers to
arrest the prostitute on site rather than have an offering agreement by an undercover officer, or
wait for some type of activity to occur before approaching or contacting them. He also noted
that as a condition of release or probation, for someone sentenced with prostitution, an individual
would not have any further violation or similar violation(s) to that which they were convicted
of previously. He explained that without this ordinance an officer would not have the authority
to arrest just for a probation violation. He explained that the ordinance specifies a misdemeanor
and gives a basis for an immediate solution to the problem of prostitution which would get them
off the street. He recommended approval of this ordinance. JOHNSON SO MOVED. Or
seconded and the motion carried 3-0. It was agreed to have this item placed under the Consent
Calendar for the January 4, 1994 Council Meeting.
CHURCH ALARM
ADDED BY COUNCILMEMBER ORR
Orr explained that a church alarm continually goes off, sometimes in the middle of the night,
and that it is a real nuisance to her neighborhood. She noted that it sounds like a siren which
goes on and on, 9-1-1 has been called, officers respond to the complaints, and meet with
neighbors, but that the problem still exists. Chief Crawford explained that alarms are very
functional and valid, but that the Police Department can control the alarms and sensitivity to the
alarms. He requested 10-15 days to work through and take care of this problem. Mann
requested two issues be looked into as follows: 1) 3 strikes and your out for car and building
alarms so if an individual does not repair the malfunctioning alarm, they would be fined, or if
it is a false alarm, they could be fined also; and 2) a possible tax on alarms to take care of a
police officer which is supposed to arrive at the scene within three minutes.
Chief Crawford requested some time to investigate what can be done, and what type of program
can be used to implement this type of ordinance.
PUBLIC DEFENSE CONTRACT
Lubovich explained that the public defense contract has been bid out every other year because
of the cost and hassles of changing defense counsels each year. He noted that they recommend
staying with the same attorneys this year as last even though the City did not go out to bid this
year because they did not want it to interfere with a smooth transition into the new municipal
court. He pointed out that the City paid $116,000 last year for the full year and then appeals
ri
were added onto the amount. He explained that this year it has gone up to $137,000 to include
all appeals, about $100 a case, but that the current attorneys have assumed the same volume of
cases as 1993. He noted, however, that because of the new court, it is anticipated a higher
volume of cases will be filed in 1994. He explained that the average fee per case usually runs
between $100 and $110 per case, and that Ellis, Li & McKinstry's proposal is not out of line
with the going rate for such cases. He clarified that the recommendation is to enter into a
contract similar to last year with Ellis, Li & McKinstry for the 1994 public defense contract for
$137,000, including all appeals and costs (as a cap not to exceed this amount). JOHNSON
MOVED to approve entering into an agreement for the public defense contract, as presented.
Orr seconded and the motion carried 3-0.
The meeting adjourned at 7:05 p.m.

ACCEPTANCE OF METRO AND KING COUNTY CONSERVATION FUTURES GRANTS FOR RIVERVIEW
PARK and ACCEPTANCE OF KING COUNTY CONSERVATION FUTURES GRANT FOR PURCHASE OF
PROPERTY IN UPPER MILL CREEK CANYON
Staff has received notice that the City will receive Metro and King County
Conservation Futures grant to purchase Riverview Park, and a King County
Conservation Futures grants to purchase Upper Mill Creek Canyon. Both King
County and Metro will be sending interlocal agreements which will need to be
taken to Council for action.
The funding source for Riverview Park is 100% grants, as Metro is matching King
County's funds. Public Works will match the $71,000 King County grant for the
acquisition of Upper Mill Creek Canyon. Public Works would like to reserve those
properties for drainage.
Councilmember Houser moved to accept the Metro and King County Conservation
Futures grants. Councilmember seconded. The motion passed 2-0. Staff will
contact Councilmember Johnson by phone to obtain a unanimous vote for the consent
calendar.
SEATTLE WATER DEPARTMENT MIDWAY RESERVOIR PROPERTY
Staff received a letter from the Seattle Water Department which needs to be
returned by December 23 indicating whether the City of Kent has an interest in
the Midway Reservoir property. The Parks Committee has indicated an interest in
the past, and Helen Wickstrom requested direction from the Committee.
Wickstrom explained that the assessed value of the property is $208,800. The
City of Seattle is having the property appraised at this time, and the property
will be for sale at the first of the year for the appraised value. Seattle is
willing to accept 20% down, with 7% interest for a ten year -term, with one
payment per year.
The National Guard is also interested in a portion of the property. Wickstrom
pointed out that returning the letter does not obligate the City of Kent to
purchase the property.
The Parks Committee directed staff to return the letter to the Seattle Water
Department, expressing the City of Kent's interest in the property.

The Parks Committee authorized Parks Department staff to proceed with

YOUTH/TEEN CENTER REPORT
Cheryl Fraser reported that the Youth/Teen Center Committee is close to
completing their report for full Council. The Center Committee has been
addressing two concerns which have been raised in the past, people outside of the
City using the facility and not paying for it; and West Hill residents having
access to the facility if it is built on the East Hill.
The option of using school district facilities for the program was discussed at
the November 9 Parks Committee meeting. Fraser reported that after much
research, the Youth/Teen Center Committee has learned that the schools are not
available on a consistent basis.
Dr. Jim Hager of the Kent School District has assured the group that if the
schools are available, the School District will make them available for the
youth/teen program; and if the schools are not available, the School District is
interested in discussing a joint bond issue. Fraser said this gives the
Youth/Teen Center Committee hope.
The Youth/Teen Center Committee is also very concerned about residents in the
Valley and on the West Hill. The School District is looking into offering a
facility for a Lighthouse program in the Valley twice a week. The Principal of
Totem Jr. High is very optimistic about offering his facility for a Lighthouse
program for those youth/teens on the West Hill.
Fraser said it looks as though the recommendation from the Youth/Teen Center
Committee to Council is to build a youth/teen center on the East Hill, located
on the 248th site; and to offer Lighthouse programs in the Valley and at Totem
Jr. High. The Committee will make its presentation to Council -in late January.
Bill Doolittle requested information on the research done by the consultant
regarding the feasibility of locating the program in vacant supermarkets,
specifically the vacant Johnny's on the East Hill. Councilmember Houser
requested information on operating and maintenance costs of such a facility.
Fraser will supply both with the information they requested.
OTHER
Bill Doolittle inquired as to the status of the motorcross track. Tom Brubaker
reported that during his latest conversation with Connie Epperly, she said she
is looking at another site because of a wetland problem at the current site. The
Committee will research this issue further.

MR & MRS RUST
John Bond stated that last September Virginia Manning of 26840
Downing'Ave. had submitted a petition to the City with 50 names
requesting that the City do something about the speeding in their
neighborhood, east of Star Lake Elementary School. Bond said the
City did a speed study at that time which indicated 28 mph in both
directions, directly in front of Mrs. Manning's residence. Bond
said that this particular block is approximately 700 ft. long and
there are two 900 turns at either end. Bond said that a second
speed study was taken at a later date, showing the same speed of 28
mph and 23 mph in the curve by the school. Bond stated that in his
opinion, these speeds do not indicate a dangerous speeding problem.
He said that unfortunately, there are no sidewalks in that
neighborhood. There is a walkway at the north end of Downing to
Totem Jr. High. Wickstrom said that the plan is to put in a
sidewalk in that Cambridge section to eliminate that problem. Mann
suggested that this item be placed on the next Public Works agenda
and suggested that Bond inform the residents of same.

have a proposed development which will take a large portion of it.
Wickstrom recommended that we proceed with the vacation. Wickstrom

Bridge Repainting
Wickstrom stated that approximately 3 months ago we received notice
that federal funds were available for bridge painting projects. He
said the Meeker painted et bridge over

City's and was last p i974and needs
within the next 1-2 years. Wickstrom said that the bridge fell
within the federal qualifications for repainting. He saidquahe lify Cfor
ity
looked at it in terms of replacement but it would not q Y
any replacement funds. He said the bridge was found to be
structurally sound but functionally deficient, which means ha
instead of replacing it, they would allow us to build a parallel
two lane bridge, thus having four lanes with two bridges.
Wickstrom said we applied for a grant; the total bridge painting
project is $260,000 and we received an 80% grant. He said our
share is $52,000. He said there is money left over in the
unencumbered funds of the Street Capital Improvement funds to pay
for our share. Wickstrom requested the Committee's approval for
authorization to accept the grant, establish the budget and fund
the local match.
In response to White, Wickstrom said we have never painted the
bridge because it was previously a State project, however after
building the 516 by-pass, the State turned it over to us.
Committee unanimously recommended authorization to accept the
grant, establish the budget and fund the local match.
Basketball Hoops
Wickstrom said that this issue has already been discussed with
Bennett and Mann. He said that residents have notified the City
that there are basketball hoops placed adjacent to a City rightof
way or road. Wickstrom said the road is being used as a play
area
for shooting basketballs and there is a liability to that. He said
we have had to respond recently because of complaints, and had to
address one in particular. In so doing, we saw six others on the
2
same street. Wickstrom said that this is in West Hill and we
advised them that they have to remove the basketball hoop because
of the liability. In response to White, Wickstrom said we do not
have anything to replace the hoops. He said that the Police have
advised us that there are 22 others within the entire City that
they have received complaints about and now that we are aware of
them, we have to address those as well. Wickstrom said that our
approach is to notify the residents that they need to remove the
hoops.
White said that although he recognizes our liabilities, kids do use
these and he feels that every time we do a park program hoops
should be installed. Wickstrom said that our approach is not to go
out and look for them but to respond upon receiving a complaint.
Bennett said he will put this on the next Parks Committee agenda.
94th Avenue Storm Improvements
Wickstrom said this was a contract with Moss Construction for the
installation of a storm sewer system on 94th Avenue, north of James
St. which was to address the downstream flooding problem.
Committee unanimously recommended that the project be accepted as
complete.
Downtown Infrastructure
Raul Ramos said that the City-wide sidewalk inventory is basically
completed and now we need to get to the task of identifying the
critical sidewalk deficiencies. He said that this can be done by
identifying the schools and some other public facilities. Ramos
referred to two CBD area sidewalk maps depicting areas where
sidewalks had been replaced or ground down. In response to White's
question on identifying the street tree problem, McCarthy said
there is a workshop planned for December 7th. Ramos said that one
of the tasks necessary is to update our street tree species list to
allow for selection of different types of street trees.
Cascade Commerce Park Bill of Sale
Committee unanimously recommended acceptance of the Bill of Sale
for Cascade Commerce Park and bonds released after the one year
maintenance period.
Soos Creek Sewer Potential Annexation
Gary Gill explained that the Soos Creek Water & Sewer District is
in the process of putting together an annexation in the area near
the City's Kent Springs watershed, for purposes of providing sewer
service to some properties which the Kent School District is
purchasing for future school facilities, as well as some of the
residences along the north end of Lake Sawyer. Gill said there are
3
several septic systems failing that are impacting the water quality
of the lake. Gill said Soos Creek is requesting that the City
support this annexation. In so doing, we would represent
approximately 69 acres of a 450 acre annexation proposal. Gill
said the area is currently zoned for urban development. Gill
stated that at this point in time we are asking if the Council
would support this annexation proposal. In response to White,
Wickstrom said one downside to this would be that it would
stimulate development, thereby creating a higher density than what
is shown, which could affect our aquifer. Gill said that from an
aquifer recharge standpoint, we would prefer that they have a lower
density out there.
Brubaker said he feels we cannot tie land use controls to our
joining or not joining in on this annexation.
Gill said that they originally had almost 60% support and there was
a large land owner with 60 acres who was in support of the
annexation originally. However, Bill Ruth has an option to
purchase that land and believes he has tentative approval for
preliminary residential plat on septic systems. Gill said Ruth
didn't want to be tied into having to go on to public sewers. So
the 60 acres, pulled out which dropped the percentage down to about
44% without the City. They originally were going forward without
US. He said we could be included in the area and they still had
the 60%. Wickstrom said the school district is pursuing it because
he feels that by County ordinance, they are required to be on
sewers and the Kent School District is the initiator of this
annexation.
Wickstrom said that we are looking for a recommendation that the
City's property be included and we would be signing on as a
petitioner.
Committee suggested that this item be brought back to Public Works
Committee on December 1st for further discussion.
In response to White's question regarding whether Growth Management
ties development to the sewers or can they develop without sewers,
Gill stated that it can be developed without sewers but this
particular area, since it is immediately adjacent to the existing
district boundaries, sewer is very close by so they looked at this
as an extension of the urban classification or zoning, thereby
having a potential for higher use.
Ubiqua Acquisition (277th Corridor)
Wickstrom stated that we have made offers on two parcels of
property, one being 10 acres and one approximately 3-1/2 acres.
The offers have been accepted and returned to us. Wickstrom stated
the offers were at the appraised values of $460,00 and $156,000,
respectively.
4
Committee unanimously recommended moving forward with these two
acquisitions.
Bagman Deli & Cafe
At the request of Mrs. Rust, Brubaker explained that a fire
inspection was made at the Deli and Cafe, (owned by Mr & Mrs Rust's
son) and the owners were instructed to make some improvements for
fire safety. He said the complaint was that 'crash bars' were
required to be installed on the back door of the cafe. Brubaker
said that the owner's concern is, if there is a break-in thru a
window, the crash bars on the doors makes an easy exit. The owner
wants locked doors instead.
White stated that because of the Fire Code, every public facility
within the City is having to do the same thing.
Committee suggested that Mrs. Rust bring this item to the next
Public Safety Committee.

Soos Creek Sewer Annexation
Helen Nylon, of Hedges & Roth, explained that the Kent School
District has approached the Soos Creek Sewer District with the need
for an annexation. Hedges & Roth reviewed the water quality
concerns in the area. Nylon said Kent's watershed and Covington's
well field are in the vicinity. Nylon stated that they are
anticipating this particular annexation to go forward. Referring
to a map, Nylon showed which of the property owners had been
contacted. Referring to the property Bill Ruth has the option on,
Nylon said that the owner had originally expressed an interest in
the annexation and has since withdrawn that request. Nylon said
that this is currently being proposed under a septic system and
there are approximately 45 - 50 homes that will be developed in the
area. She said if the City allows the District to use Kent's
watershed for calculation purposes, than the School District will
be in a position of going in with about 45% of the signatures
required toward their 60% certification. Kent's property would be
about 15% of that area. Nylon said if Kent chooses not to become
eligible for the certification process, than the School District
will have to obtain 80 acres of additional signatures.
Nylon stated that residences have approached the District,
particularly the properties on the lake, who feel that their
septics are failing and have been going thru the procedures of
trying to get sewers. Nylon said there are many property owners
wanting to be annexed into the District.
Bennett asked if there is a problem with the failures affecting the
quality of water. Gill said that is a definite concern. He said
that the consultants who are working on the Wellhead Protection
Program identified an area that they felt was within the "one year
influence" area zone and it definitely includes the area in the
northern portion of Lake Sawyer. Gill said our intake structures
are probably deep enough where there is enough purification that it
1
has not impacted us as yet, but from the standpoint of protection
of the watershed, sewers in this area would be a real benefit to
the City.
Bennett said that with the sewers comes more building and then more
traffic. Gill said that most of the area has already been
developed so there probably won't be a much greater density along
.the lake. He said there is a portion that will be developed for a
school with the rest of it being zoned for urban development which
could be densities of 4 to 6 units per acre, which is a typical
residential plat.
Brubaker asked if the parcel to the north of our watershed is
developed. Nylon said that's a 17 acre parcel and the owners
indicated they would like to be within the district. Nylon said
that several of the property owners in the northerly area want that
.kind of designation protection, inasmuch as several owners feel
their septics will fail in the next 10-15 years.
Brubaker asked if the construction of homes in this area threaten
our watershed. Gill said it would contribute to the stream course
and that may be affected by some of the restrictions that the
County has regarding setbacks. Gill said we would look at this
very carefully because it directly discharges into the stream
corridor and comes thru the corner of the watershed. Wickstrom
said our infiltration galleries are higher than the stream. He
said the City's property comes down into the stream and the well
field is only 55 feet deep and then hits bedrock. He said we are
above the stream bed so it will impact the stream, but not our
facility.
Referring to the map, Bennett asked if the red -lined area is
significant with the requirement that the school district needs or
is it compatible with the residences sewers that are failing and
also, rather than go thru this every 3-4 years, could the red -lined
area be squared off. Nylon responded that the area shown on the
map is already in the district and they take every effort to
exclude properties who have requested to be excluded.
Committee unanimously recommended that Council give authorization
for the City to sign the annexation petition.
In response to Mrs. Rust, Gill stated this annexation would include
the northwest portion of Lake Sawyer.
Ordinance for Cable T.V.
Brubaker stated we had previously requested authorization to seek
rate regulation authority from the F.C.C. He explained that -we
made an application with F.C.C. and unless the F.C.C. takes no
action on this within 30 days from the date of application, it is
deemed approved. Brubaker said that within the next couple of
days, we expect to see no action taken and we will have our rate-
making authority. He said the next step in the process is to adopt
rules and regulations consistent with the National F.C.C. rules and
regulations on the rate -making structure. Brubaker explained that
we have 120 days from our certification date to do that. We think
that since cable T.V. is a very sensitive issue, it would probably
be appropriate to set a public hearing date on the ordinance
proposing to adopt the F.C.C. rate structure as our own. At this
time Brubaker gave a draft ordinance to the Committee for.review.
Brubaker requested that a public hearing date be set for the second
Council meeting in January, and adopt the F.C.C. rules and
regulations. He said the next step is, the cable company completes
the F.C.C. form, which basically is a form outlining their rate
structure, and returns it to us within 30 days. We then have 30
days to determine whether or not their rates are acceptable.
In response to Bennett, Brubaker said that if we don't do anything
for 120 days, we will lose our certification authority because we
will not have adopted rules and regulations consistent with the
F.C.C.
Committee unanimously recommended setting the public hearing date
for the second Council meeting in January, for the adoption of the
F.C.C. rules and regulations.
Recycling Yard Waste RFP
Brubaker said that he was given clear direction from the past
executive branch, as to how the next RFP should be structured. He
said that Mayor Kelleher's instructions were that when we send out
the next RFP, we should weight our judgement on the applicants in
three areas. The first consideration should be given to the price;
the second should be given to the conveyance system and the third
should involve the frequency and history of service. Brubaker said
that if we go with this .system, we should probably add factors of
frequency of pick-up, cost of obtaining the container and the
ability of storage. Brubaker said if this was amenable with the
Committee, he would put together an RFP to go out to bid.
Committee concurred with the RFP concept as presented, subject to
individual review by each Committee member.
Bills of Sale
Oak Hill Water & Sewer; Red Robin; The Meadow; Westminster Place
Committee unanimously accepted the bills of sale for all four
projects, as presented to the Committee.

Municipal Court Ordinance
Brubaker stated that upon further review °hrase Municipal
requires
Ordinance, we have also included a p
confirmation of the Court Administrator. Brubaker said that he
will put a confirmation motion on Other Business for the Municipal
Court Administrator. He further stated that there was an error in
that ordinance in that it required the judge appoint pro -tem judges
and that is inconsistent with State law which says that the Mayor
appoints pro -tem judges.
Committee concurred with this.
