DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
TO: Mayor White and City Council
FROM: Don Wickstrom, Director of Public Works
RE: LID 345 - South 218th Street Improvements
(East Valley Highway to SR 167)
April 16, 1996 has been set for the confirmation hearing on the final assessment roll for the above referenced
project.
PROJECT BACKGROUND
Over the past years there has been substantial interest in developing various parcels within this project area.
Unfortunately,this area is served by South 218th Street which is a substandard road, with a deficient reverse
curve. The combination of the substandard roadway width and the too-sharp reverse curves present safety
hazards to both vehicles and pedestrians. Developments occurring within the LID boundary have been
conditioned by the City's SEPA powers to provide improvements to South 218th Street. Currently, those
properties east of the reverse curves are also conditioned to improve the curves, however no such project
has materialized.
As an interim solution, each developer who would have been required to make incremental improvements
to South 218th Street as a condition of their development approval, has instead executed an LID
participation covenant. This interim solution had two major benefits: first, the roadway would not be
improved in a piecemeal manner; and second, when enough owners were obligated by the LID participation
covenants, the City could pursue formation of the LID and then equitably distribute the costs for the
complete roadway improvement to the owners for all of the property which will ultimately benefit in the
roadway improvement instead of only the latest owners to develop.
Numerous developments had chosen this interim solution, until 74.84 percent of the total preliminary LID
assessment for this project would be bome by owners who were obligated to participate in the LID. To
approve an LID, property owners with combined LID assessments representing 40 percent of the total
assessment total must support the LID. It appeared to be a logical and appropriate time to pursue the
formation of this street improvement LID, and the City Engineering Department actively pursued its
formation.
An informal property owner meeting was held originally on October, 18, 1990. Due to wetland concerns,
the project was put on hold until the City's proposed wetland regulations were finalized. These regulations
were finalized and approved by City Council by the passage of Ordinance 3109. The engineering staff
evaluated the impact of wetlands on potential development within the LID in an effort to fairly distribute
LID 345T/MV96106
April 9, 1996
1
the LID assessments. With the revised assessments, the Engineering Department once again pursued f> P
formation of the LID for the improvement of South 218th Street.
Another property owner meeting was held on March 23, 1994: All the affected property owners were
notified of the meeting and what their revised estimated assessment was. The proposal was submitted to
the Public Works Committee on June 13, 1994 and was deferred until the July 25th meeting. Following
committee approval Resolution No. 1403 was adopted at the September 6, 1994 council meeting and
scheduled October 4, 1994 for the formation public hearing. Subsequently, City Council passed Ordinance
No. 3200 establishing LID 345 and.authorized supplementing the LID funding with $167,377.13 from the
Miscellaneous Drainage Improvement fund at the November 1, 1994 meeting.
Since that time,the Engineering Department has prepared the plans,acquired the right-of-way and necessary
permits, has obtained bids and has determined final assessments. Following confirmation of the final roll,
the Engineering Department will recommend award of the contract for construction this summer.
NEED FOR IMPROVEMENT
A. Streets - Currently portions of South 218th Street are less than 24 feet wide(some areas less than 12
feet),and no portion has curb &gutters or sidewalks. Improvements such as additional width, street
lights, curb & gutter, and sidewalk improvements are required to bring the street fully up to current
standards, and to meet both functional and aesthetic requirements. An existing reverse curve will
be improved significantly in order to permit trucks to pass simultaneously; thus allowing
development of property lying easterly of the reverse curves to continue.
This combination of the substandard roadway width and the too-sharp of reverse curve present a
safety hazard to both vehicles and pedestrians. As a result,the City cannot knowingly issue permits
within the area which increase road use without incurring the associated liability in the case of an
accident.
B. Drainage - Currently there is no formal drainage system in the project area. A few culverts and
ditches are all that can be found. A complete and adequate drainage system for the area is needed
to provide for disposal of storm water. A complete drainage system is planned for the area including
stubs to the adjacent properties for future connections.
C. Utilities -Various properties within the area are not currently hooked up to City water and sanitary
sewer, or are not fully serviced for their highest potential and best use. Prior to widening and
rebuilding the roadway, these utilities must be extended outside of the roadway section to avoid
future cutting and excavating for these services. Sanitary sewer stubs are currently available to all
parcels. The stubs are being extended from the existing property line to the new property line to
avoid future road cuts. Water services will also be installed.
D. Development Requirements - The above-described needs have been identified for this area. Any
future development in the area will have to address these needs. Commitments to meet these needs
are required to obtain building pen-nits and are usually conditions of other development procedi
as well.
LID 345T/MV96106
April 9, 1996
This project area contains undeveloped property or under-developed property. Owners of these
properties will be faced with satisfying these needs in order to develop to their maximum potential.
Others have already faced these requirements and have committed themselves to participate in the
funding for this LID.
PROJECT IMPROVEMENTS
The project as designed is the widening of South 218th Street from East Valley Highway east to the creek
(approximately 600 feet east of the curves) and includes the following features:
1. A 32 foot roadway (face of curb to face of curb) which will be a two lane road with no on-street
parking.
2. Cement concrete curb & gutter.on both sides.
3. Cement concrete sidewalks on both sides. (5' wide)
4. Storm drainage system including biofiltration swales and stubs to adjacent properties.
5. Street lighting system (on power poles).
6. Reverse curve realignment.
7. Utility stubs as required, both water and sanitary sewer and several new fire hydrants.
8. Cul-de-sac at east end.
9. New culvert for Garrison Creek- Valley Branch.
10. Signing and channelization.
11. Hydroseeding of unpaved areas.
12. Adjustment or relocation of existing utilities and improvements.
PROJECT FUNDING
This project was originally proposed to be funded 100 percent by the Local Improvement District method
except for the water and sewer stubs. The water and sewer stubs will be funded initially by the City. A
charge in lieu of assessment will then be established which the property owner will pay upon connection.
During the formation process some of the property owners expressed concern over the extent of the
improvements, claiming that the improvements planned were excessive. The Engineering Department
reviewed the project and determined the estimated cost of a minimum improvement to address the cost issue.
The result was a backbone of a street which would correct the "S" curve problem, provide drainage and
acquire the right-of-way for a full street. The remainder of the improvements would then be installed as
properties developed or redeveloped or as covenants expired. The cost savings for the proposed minimal
improvement was estimated at$167,377.13. However,there were disadvantages to this approach so the City
agreed to proceed with the original scope of work and to supplement the LID funding with $167,377.,13.
FUNDING SUMMARY
Original Final
LID Assessments: $1,164,620.59 LID Assessments $ 979,525.80
Water Fund: 6,810.27 Water Fund: 2,646.57
Sewer Fund: 9,730.00 Sewer Fund: 1,654.89
Total Project Cost $1,181,160.86 Drainage Fund: 167,377.13
Total Project Cost $1,151,214.39
LID 345T/MV96106
April 9, 1996
Based on costs to date including right-of-way acquisition, design and the bid, the total project cost has be-n
reduced $29,946.47 (2.5%) and the LID assessment $185,094.79 (15.9%).
In addition,by agreement with the property owner, assessment No. 16 (was 16, 17 & 18 on preliminary roll)
was assessed a surcharge of$28,579.25 to compensate for some off-site wetland mitigation associated with
an on-site alleged grading violation.
Parcel 7 decided to take an assessment credit for the right-of-way acquisition rather than being paid outright.
Therefore, the final assessment roll varies from the above number.
LID Assessment: $ 979,525.81
Wetland Mitigation: + 28,597,25
R/W Credit - 5,932.00
Final LID Roll $1,002,191.06
METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
The costs for this street improvement was distributed to each benefitting property owner as follows:
The total street assessments are based upon the zone and termini method. In this case seven strips, each one
hundred feet wide, are drawn parallel with the City right-of-way line. The assessment rate for the strip right
next to the right-of-way line is weighted seven times the value of the seventh strip from the right-of-way
line; the assessment rate for the second strip from the right-of-way line is six times the rate for the seve
strip; and so on until the seventh strip. Each property owner will then pay a total assessment depending on
the number of square feet within each of the seven strips that are contained in their parcel.
Wetlands were identified and mapped and were not included within the assessment calculations as were their
associated buffers. Also, a 25 foot setback from the creek was deleted from the assessed area for
undeveloped properties.
The costs for water and sanitary sewer service stubouts will be charged totally against the benefitting
property and shall be paid as a charge in lieu of assessment at the time of connection.
PAYMENT OF ASSESSMENT
Upon Council passing,the ordinance confirming the final assessment roll,there is a 30-day period in which
any portion or all of the assessment can be paid without interest charges. 'After the 30-day period, the
balance is paid over a ten year period wherein each year's payment is 1/10th of the principal plus interest
on the unpaid balance. The interest will-be what the market dictates.
EASEMENT AND RIGHT-OF-ACQUISITION
The construction of this street improvement project required property acquisition along the length of the
project in order to provide the necessary right-of-way needed in excess of the substandard 33 foot v
right-of-way originally owned by the City. Slope easements and construction easements were also required.

Each property owner involved was advised of the appraised value of these right-of-way and easement parcels
during negotiations between the City and the owner. Final settlement was a direct payment to the owner.
One owner (assessment 97) applied the settlement as a credit toward his LID assessment, thereby reducing
his yearly payments.

On May 12, 1994, the Kent Planning Department issued a DNS for LID 345.

TERM LIMITS (OTHER BUSINESS - ITEM 4A)
Term Limits Ordinance. The City Council, during
its regularly scheduled meeting of March 19,
adopted Ordinance No. 3283 establishing term
limits for the Mayor and the City Council. On
March 21, 1996, the Mayor vetoed this ordinance.
This matter is being presented at the Council' s
request to consider an override of the Mayor' s
veto and the adoption of this ordinance.
EPPERLY MOVED to override the Mayor' s veto of
Ordinance No. 3283 on term limits. Houser
seconded.
Epperly said that an ordinance on term limits was
a campaign promise she had made. She noted for
Clark that Russ Stringham had recently filed an
initiative petition which she co-sponsored. She
said there is support in the community and
introduced a petition containing 32 signatures.
Clark noted that the petition states that "the
people of this city will be best served by citi-
zen legislators who are subject to a reasonable
degree of rotation in office" . He said that any
time there is a reform in government, it should
be something that makes government better. He
questioned whether there is something wrong with
the way the city is running right now. Epperly
said that people had brought the ordinance to
her, and that there isn't anything wrong with the
4
April 2 , 1996
TERM LIMITS way the Council currently operates . Clark
pointed out that the petition states that
"extended incumbency discourages qualified
citizens from seeking public office" . He said
this is a distortion of facts, since in the 1993
Council election there were three seats up for
election (two incumbents and one open seat) and
nine candidates, so candidates were not
discouraged from running for office against an
incumbent. He added that in the last election
there were four seats open and there were at the
very least two candidates for every seat. He
questioned the basis for the phrase "discourages
qualified citizens from seeking public office" .
Epperly responded that it takes money and backing
to run for office and that she has found that the
money usually follows the person of power or the
person who has been in office. She said she
feels money is provided by electability, which is
discouraging. She said that there have been
elections where no one ran at all.
Clark reiterated that any changes to government
should be for the better, and that this is a
citizen-formed government. He explained that it
is non-partisan, that only residents of the city
are eligible to serve, and that serving does not
pay very well and takes a lot of time. He said
the concept of getting rid of people who serve on
a council who happen to have the institutional
memory of policy-making is to destroy the effec-
tiveness of the council. He said council is
dependent upon staff to deliver facts and
opinions in dealing with issues, and that re-
solving issues requires a full-fledged debate to
bring to light facts and issues that are related
to the decision that has to be made. He said to
take out people who have been through many of
these issues in the past runs the risk of making
uninformed decisions, and that this takes place
with continual public review of the officials
because all must stand for election, and he
reiterated that the city has not lacked for can-
didates. He said the petition is not based on
facts and questioned the motivation.
Orr said there are merits on both sides of the
issue, and that an election is where people
decide who their representatives are. She said
she will support the ordinance presented two
weeks ago, because the initiative as written is
5
April 2 , 1996
TERM LIMITS retroactive, which means that two experienced
Councilmembers would be out at the time of the
next election, regardless of what the public
thought, and at the following election two more
would be out, resulting in a change in the
majority of the Council in four years time, which
she feels is not in the best interest of the
public. She said that Ordinance 3283 is not
retroactive and it gives the public the opportu-
nity to make changes as Councilmembers retire or
move on to other things. She also stated that an
election would cost between $30, 000 and $40, 000,
which could be saved by adopting the term limits
ordinance and giving it a chance to see if it
works. She added that a future Council could
make a change if they felt it was appropriate.
Woods noted that she was not present at the last
Council meeting and that philosophically she is
opposed to term limits. She said she respects
what is being proposed and what others have said,
but that this is not a burning issue with her,
even though she feels that going to the polls and
voting people in and out is the appropriate thing
to do.
Upon a roll call vote, the motion to override the
Mayor' s veto of Ordinance No. 3283 carried 5-21
with Clark and Woods opposed.

RE: Meeker St/Russell Rd. Traffic Signal
Included in the adopted Capital Facilities Plan was the installation of the above
referenced signal. Partial funding of this signal project was included in the '96
budget. The balance of the needed funds was anticipated to be via an L.I.D. To date
we have held an informal meeting with the potential L.I.D. participants (see
correspondence) and it appears there is adequate support (independent of the L.I.D.
Participatory Agreement) to proceed with the formation of the L.I.D.
There was only one concern raised at the meeting and it was not against the project
or support for same. It was related to the assessment distribution as it pertains to the
land use. As a result, we re-evaluated the assessment distribution and advised the
participants of the modifications. At this point, we are ready to proceed with the
formation of the L.I.D. for which the first step is passage of a Resolution setting a
public hearing date on the formation of the L.I.D.
ACTION: Adoption of the Resolution setting a public hearing date on the
formation of the L.I.D.

RE: PROPOSED LID 347: MEEKER STREET/RUSSELL ROAD TRAFFIC SIGNAL
Dear Property Owner:
A property owner meeting was held on March 20, 1996 to discuss the proposed project and LID
formation. I would like to thank those of you who attended.
One particular property owner voiced disapproval of the assessment distribution method used. He
felt that in addition to the size of the property, the traffic generation potential for the land use or
zoning be factored in.
Subsequent to the meeting,the Engineering staff reviewed the distribution method and agreed that
the traffic factor should be considered. Land uses that create more traffic for the same size of
property should participate at a higher rate since that property will use the signal to a greater extent
and receive more benefit.
The signal participation covenants were also reviewed. The covenants contained language indicating
that the costs would be distributed based on trips, (traffic generated by the property). Therefore,the
assessments have been revised as shown on the attachment.
In revising the assessments typical trip generation factors for the various land uses were determined
and a weighing factor was determined to be used in the distribution formula_ These factors are as
follows:

The square footage of the property is multiplied by the weighing factor before proportioninL, the LID
costs.
Several other factors entered into the cost distribution. Since this revised method would lower the City share
and since the City has agreed to and budgeted for the original assessment, the city's assessment remained
the same. Only privately owned properties were included in the revised assessments.
Also, in reviewing previous signal LID's the cost is usually split with 50% going to each side of the
intersection. In this case 50% ($33,821.77) would go to properties north of Meeker and 50% to the
properties south of Meeker.
One last consideration was made on Parcel 4 which is a commercial property but has a hotel on the north
end. This portion of the property was treated as multiple family, medium density residential. The tentative
revised project schedule is as follows:

RE: PROPOSED LID 347: MEEKER STREET/RUSSELL ROAD TRAFFIC SIGNAL
Dear Property Owner:
The City has proposed the installation of a traffic signal at the above referenced intersection. With
the increasing traffic levels at this intersection, ingress and egress for Russell Road is becoming
difficult and is an increasing traffic safety concern as demonstrated by various traffic accidents. Also
the City has received numerous complaints regarding the need for a signal. Therefore, the Citv is
pursuing the installation of a traffic signal and has budgeted a portion of the funds for same.
To finance the balance of the project costs, the City is pursuing the formation of a Local
Improvement District (LID).
This letter explains the LID process,provides details regarding the proposed project and notifies you
of a property owner meeting to discuss the proposal.
PROPERTY OWNER MEETING
An informal property owner meeting will be held on March 20, 1996 to discuss the proposed
LID. This meeting will be held at 2:00 pm in Conference Room #3 at the City of Kent
Engineering Office located in the Centennial Center, 400 West Gowe Street, Second Floor.
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 Russell Road and West Meeker Street.
In addition, a southbound to westbound right turn lane will be installed. Also the intersection
approach profile on the north side will be modified to improve sight distance to the east.
Local Improvement District Financing
This project is proposed to be funded partially by the Local Improvements District method. The Cite
will lure a contractor to construct the project, will sell LID bonds to initially finance the project and
will then assess the properties involved to pay off the bonds.
The assessments are usually paid in yearly installments (1/I Oth of the principal plus interest on the unpaid
balance) over a ten-year period. or they can be paid in full 'Mth one payment. The interest rate is determined
by the market at the time the LID bonds are sold to the public.
-11 11 --
Basic LID Formation Steps
The LID formation process consists of the following steps:
l. Identification of project.
2. City prepared estimate and preliminary assessments.
3. Property owner meeting with Engineering Department Staff.
4. Proposal goes before the Public Works Committee for approval.
5. City Council passes Resolution of Intent.
6. Public Hearing date set.
7. Public Hearing and assessment notices mailed.
8. Public Hearing.
9. Protest received.
10. Final approval of Ordinance (if insufficient protests are received and City Council decides to approve
LID formation).
11. Construction bids received.
12. Final assessment hearing.
13. Construction of project.
14. Payment of assessments begin.
If approved,the project will be advertised for bids and constructed this summer. Prior to bid award, a final
assessment hearing is held and LID bonds are sold. Your first yearly payment will be due one year from
that time.
Project Cost
The total estimated cost for the proposed project including construction, engineering, survey, construction
inspection, LID bonding and associated costs is $238,000.
The City is proposing to fund $138,000 of the project total. The balance of$100,000 shall be funded by the
LID. Also, City property will be assessed $32,357.
Assessment Method
An LID assessment boundary was established which includes properties which utilize the Meeker Street and
Russell Road intersection for ingress and egress. The total LID cost is distributed over these properties
based on square footage. For properties with access from another direction, an adjustment in the square
footage assessed was made. South of Meeker the assessments extend to the end of Russell Road at the river.
To the north, the assessment limit is halfway to James Street, the next east/west street. See the attached
assessment map which shown the assessed areas.
It should be noted that traffic generated by properties outside of the LID boundary may utilize the signal.
However the numbers of such trips per parcel are small when compared to those�rithin the LID. The small
benefit to other properties, and the area in general, is more than compensated for by the funding prov' ' d
by the City. The LID assessments relate to the special benefits received by individual properties.
LID AR roval
To approve an LID, property owners with combined LID assessments representing 40 percent of the total
assessment total must support the LID The City properties do not have a say in the LID fom7ation, therefore
the City properties are deleted for the percentage calculation. In this case, the estimated 40 percent
assessment figure is approximately $27,057. Enclosed is a map showing the proposed LID assessment
boundary and the assessment numbers assigned to each parcel within the boundary. Also enclosed is a
preliminary assessment listing for each of the parcels within the LID assessment boundary.
The City has determined that owners with a combined 72.76 percent of the total assessment are at this time
obligated to participate in this signal improvement LID via executed no-protest covenants. The final
decision of whether or not to form the LID, however will be made by the City Council following a public
hearing. See the attachment for a summary of existing covenants.
Final Assessment
Once bids are received, an estimate of the final total project costs is made. With that a final assessment is
calculated and a final assessment hearing is held. At this hearing, you may protest the amount of your
assessment based on benefit (increase in property value) to your property derived from the construction
project. This requires the submittal of a before and after real estate appraisal. To have a valid protest, the
appraisal must show that the LID assessment is greater than the benefit provided by the LID.
Mailing List Update
Your name is shown on the King County tax rolls. If you are no longer the owner of the property, have a
new address, or request that another party be listed, please let me know so the revisions or additions can be
made to our mailing list.
If you are unable to attend the meeting, but have questions, or comments, please call me at 859-3383.
Very truly yours,

L. I.D. 347 - MEEKER ST./RUSSELL RD SIGNAL
2/14/96
Committee unanimously recommended authorizing the Mayor to sign the grant agreement and direct
staff to accept the grant and establish the budget for same.
Stop Sign - 2nd & Cloudy Streets
Wickstrom noted that we did a traffic study which indicated a very low volume and unnecessary
warrants for a 4-way stop sign. He suggested that staff inquire as to who made the request for a stop
sign and than do some neighborhood traffic control work in the area. Epperly noted that the problem
seems to be the speed of traffic rather than the volume.
Meeker Street/Russell Road Traffic Signal
Y Wickstrom explained that in the budget we had a funded portion of the total project costs to put a
signal in at the intersection of Russell Rd & Meeker St with the balance of it to be funded by an LID
of the adjacent owners, which includes Kent Parks properties. Wickstrom stated that we have had
the meeting with the property owners and have mailed out their assessments. At that meeting there
were no negative complaints;we had one property owner who raised a concern about his assessment
in terms of his trip generations. Wickstrom said we reviewed this and sent him a letter explaining
the new assessment. He said that the next step is to proceed with the formation of an LID with the
adoption of a Resolution at full Council.
Committee unanimously recommended adoption of a resolution setting a public hearing date on the
formation of the Meeker St/Russell Road Traffic Signal LID.
Stop - Gowe Street- Gowe Street
Wickstrom said that we have advertised in the local paper, on our cable channel and we sent
individual notices to all the businesses in the downtown area for their input on this item. Clark
opened the meeting for public comments. It was the general consensus of everyone in attendance that
the stop signs should never have been installed as they are and should be removed.
Committee unanimously recommended removing the east/west stop signs on Gowe St at 1 st Ave&
Gowe St and Railroad Ave & Gowe St.

consider purchasing the NEC model P810 cellular phone for Council use. The
P810 measures 6.3 inches long by 2 inches wide by 1:2 inches deep, weighing
about 8. 8 ounces. This rectangular shaped cellular phone is compact and
fits nicely in the hand; it is not a flip style cellular phone. The P810
is a new product line for NEC, which the city' s cellular provider will
reportedly be selling for somewhere between $131 and $159 . The city's
cellular provider will be announcing •the P810 ' s cost on April 1, 1996. For
example, an estimated cost breakdown at both the $131 and $159 rates are
shown below:
$131. Rate $159 Rate
**NEC Model P810 Cellular Phone $ 131. 00 $ 159. 00
--includes phone, battery, desk charger.
**Accessories

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Optional Carry Case ($26) , tax included. 28 . 13 28.13
Estimated Purchase Total With Carry Case: $ 245.61 $ 275.91
Using the above -figures, the estimated purchase cost for seven each P810
cellular phones without carry case would range from $1, 522 . 36 to $1,734 . 46
and with carry case from $1, 719. 27 to $1, 931. 37.
OTHER COSTS AND INFORMATION: The operational cost for monthly airtime
usage should be budgeted between $25 and $50 a month ($300 to $600
annually) per cellular phone. There is no monthly access fee to pay.
Standard features of the P810 cellular phone include having six tenths
of a watt for power with a dual antenna that works either retracted or
extended along with continuous talk time of 130 minutes and a continuous
battery standby time of 36 hours. Continuous talk time and battery standby
time mean that if the P810 power was left on, the user could talk
continuously for 130 minutes or the battery will operate for 36 hours
before power is lost.

2J
Committee unanimously recommended authorizing the Mayor to sign the grant agreement and direct
staff to accept the grant and establish the budget for same.
Stop Sign - 2nd & Cloudy Streets
Wickstrom noted that we did a traffic study which indicated a very low volume and unnecessary
warrants for a 4-way stop sign. He suggested that staff inquire as to who made the request for a stop
sign and than do some neighborhood traffic control work in the area. Epperly noted that the problem
seems to be the speed of traffic rather than the volume.
Meeker Street/Russell Road Traffic Signal
Wickstrom explained that in the budget we had a funded portion of the total project costs to put a
signal in at the intersection of Russell Rd & Meeker St with the balance of it to be funded by an LID
of the adjacent owners, which includes Kent Parks properties. Wickstrom stated that we have had
the meeting with the property owners and have mailed out their assessments. At that meeting there
were no negative complaints;we had one property owner who raised a concern about his assessment
in terms of his trip generations. Wickstrom said we reviewed this and sent him a letter explaining
the new assessment. He said that the next step is to proceed with the formation of an LID with the
adoption of a Resolution at full Council.
Committee unanimously recommended adoption of a resolution setting a public hearing date on the
formation of the Meeker St/Russell Road Traffic Signal LID.
StopSgns -.Gowe Street
Wickstrom said that we have advertised in the local paper, on our cable channel and we sent
individual notices to all the businesses in the downtown area for their input on this item. Clark
opened the meeting for public comments. It was the general consensus of everyone in attendance that
the stop signs should never have been installed as they are and should be removed.
Committee unanimously recommended removing the east/west stop signs on Gowe St at 1st Ave &
Gowe St and Railroad Ave & Gowe St.

CITY OF KENT COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT CONSORT1Ul/I
STATUS - L. Houston
Human Services Manager, Lin Houston, updated the Committee on the current status of the City
of Kent Community Development Block Grant (CDGB) program(s). Currently, the City of Kent
is a member of the King County CDBG Consortium and receives funds as a pass-through City.
Now that the City exceeds a population of 50,000, the City may now qualify as an Entitlement
City. HUD confirmed this and will offer Kent an Entitlement status after the new population
figures are released. Although, King County needs to know the City's decision on this by the
end of March so that the Consortium can proceed with its program planning for 1997. In
addition, the City is in the process of negotiating a new three-year CDBG Interlocal Cooperation
Agreement with the County and other Consortium cities for 1997-1999.
Lin said as an Entitlement City, more staff would be needed because of intensive administrative
tasks and more time-consuming program monitoring of HUD regulations.
The benefits of remaining as a pass-through City are: (1) Continue with the 21-year, excellent
relationship with the County; (2) Kent retains local control over its program funds, while getting
the benefit of the County providing the intensive administrative and monitoring tasks; (3) As
being part of the Consortium, the City benefits by receiving additional dollars in the form of

recaptured funds and program income generated by the Consortium; and, (4) Kent receives
additional services for its residents through regionally funded programs such as the current
Housing Stability Program.
The following action was requested by the City Council Planning Committee:
1. The Mayor be authorized to send a letter to County Executive Gary Locke stating that
the City of Kent desires to continue to participate as a pass-through City in the King
Countv CDBG Consortium for the years 1997-1999.
2. Schedule this item for action at the April 2, 1996, City Council meeting.

to approve the two(2) aforementioned actions. Motion carried.

department shall be responsible for preparing and updating the comprehensive plan, preparing
aefAing amendments to the zoning code, subdivision code and any other related codes or
ordinances."
Council member Jon Johnson MOVED and Council member Tim Clark SECONDED the motion
to approve the revised Land Use and Planning Board Ordinance as mentioned above. Motion
carried.
Chair Orr clarified that the new board would not take effect "until the land use and planning
board, as established pursuant to this ordinance, is convened and the bylaws for said board are
adopted" according to SECTION 2, Transition of Boards. This board will continue to meet until
the above is accomplished.

Street Vacation - S. 224th Street
Wickstrom stated that we have received a valid street vacation petition and that a hearing date needs
to be set at this time.
Committee unanimously recommended that a hearing date of May 21 st be set for the S. 224th Street
Vacation.
Open Space Future Funding
Wickstrom stated that we have not yet identified the projects but we need to get specific language
from Council saying that, "it is the intent of the City to provide ongoing operation and maintenance
of the project(s)to be submitted to the Parks and Open Space Future Funding Initiative." Wickstrom
said we need this language formalized in order to make a submittal for our projects.
Committee unanimously recommended that the aforementioned language be included in the
application packet of Parks and Open Space Future Funding Initiative.
MWPAAC Delegates
Wickstrom said that MWPAAC is asking that we reaffirm the City's Delegates noting that he is the
Delegate and Eddy Chu is the Alternate.
Committee unanimously recommended that Don Wickstrom and Eddy Chu be reaffirmed as delegates
with MWPAAC.
East Valley Highway Pavement Reconstruction/Rehabilitation
Wickstrom said we have about $664,320 in ISTEA funds allocated for this project. He said that the
City's match is already budgeted which is $192,000 which is more than the necessary match. The
total project budget is $856,320. Wickstrom said that we need authorization to sign the grant
agreement and establish the budget.
1
Committee unanimously recommended authorizing the Mayor to sign the grant agreement and direct
staff to accept the grant and establish the budget for same.
Stop Sign - 2nd & Cloudy Streets
Wickstrom noted that we did a traffic study which indicated a very low volume and unnecessary
warrants for a 4-way stop sign. He suggested that staff inquire as to who made the request for a stop
sign and than do some neighborhood traffic control work in the area. Epperly noted that the problem
seems to be the speed of traffic rather than the volume.
Meeker c* AP+/Russell Road Traffic Signal
Wickstrom explained that in the budget we had a funded portion of the total project costs to put a
signal in at the intersection of Russell Rd &Meeker St with the balance of it to be funded by an LID
of the adjacent owners, which includes Kent Parks properties. Wickstrom stated that we have had
the meeting with the property owners and have mailed out their assessments. At that meeting there
were no negative complaints;we had one property owner who raised a concern about his assessment
in terms of his trip generations. Wickstrom said we reviewed this and sent him a letter explaining
the new assessment. He said that the next step is to proceed with the formation of an LID with the
adoption of a Resolution at full Council.
Committee unanimously recommended adoption of a resolution setting a public hearing date on the
formation of the Meeker St/Russell Road Traffic Signal LID.
Stop Signs - Gowe Street
Wickstrom said that we have advertised in the local paper, on our cable channel and we sent
individual notices to all the businesses in the downtown area for their input on this item. Clark
opened the meeting for public comments. It was the general consensus of everyone in attendance that
the stop signs should never have been installed as they are and should be removed.
Committee unanimously recommended removing the east/west stop signs on Gowe St at 1 st Ave &
Gowe St and Railroad Ave & Gowe St.
Meeting adjourned: 4:30 P.M.
