MEMORANDUM
March 5, 1996
MEMO TO: MAYOR JIM WHITE AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: JAMES P. HARRIS, PLANNING DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: AMENDMENTS TO THE KENT CITY CODE, CHAPTER 11 .02,
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW AND COMMUNITY IMPACT
MITIGATION (SEPA)
The Council Planning Committee, at its meeting held on February 20,
recommended that Chapter 11 .02 of the Kent City Code be amended to reflect
changes that have occured over time to ordinances and resolutions that are used
to condition SEPA checklist.
The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) permits cities to place conditions on a
Declaration of Nonsignificance that will mitigate environmental impacts caused by
a project. Kent does this on a regular basis. However, State law is explicit in how
and when we can place such conditions. The Revised Code of Washington (RCW)
under RCW 43.21 C.060 in part states, "Any governmental action may be
conditioned or denied pursuant to this chapter: PROVIDED, That such conditions or
denials shall be based upon policies identified by the appropriate governmental
authority and incorporated into regulations, plans, or codes which are formally
designated by the agency (or appropriate legislative body, in the case of local
government) as possible bases for the exercise of authority pursuant to this
chapter ... Such action may be conditioned only to mitigate specific adverse
environmental impacts which are identified in the environmental documents
prepared under this chapter."
Kent's City Code, under Chapter 11 .02, Environmental Review and Community
Impact Mitigation, permits the Responsible Official (Section 1 1 .03.510 A, B 1
through 5 and D 3 a Through z), to place conditions on a Declaration of
Nonsignificance (DNS) as spelled out in RCW 43.21 C.060. However, Kent's
adopted list of codes and ordinances that lead to a conditioned DNS, are in some
cases out of date and newer ordinances and resolutions need to be inserted into
11 .03.510 D,3 a through z. Listed below are the codes, ordinances and
resolutions contained in Section 11 .03.510 and the suggested changes (suggested
changes are underlined and proposed deletions are crossed out):
a. The citywide comprehensive plan as prepared and adopted pursuant to the
State Growth Management Act and adopted on April 18, 1995 by the Kent
City Council by Ordinance 3222 and its specific
components,and elements ineluding but iget ii iied to the e s! hill

AND COMMUNITY IMPACT MITIGATION (SEPA) - (J. Harris)
Mr. Harris explained the need to update Chapter 11.02 of the Kent City Code that is used to
condition a Declaration of Nonsignificance related to the SEPA process. 'Mr. Harris outlined the
staff recommended changes as presented in the February 14, 1996 staff report.
Council member Clark MOVED to adopt the amendments to Chapter 11.02 of the Kent City Code
as outlined in the February 14, 1996 staff report and send to the City Council on March 5, 1996 for
a public hearing. Council member Johnson SECONDED the motion. The motion carried.
KING COUNTY POLICIES AMENDMENT -RATIFICATION BY CITIES (F. Satterstrom)
Planning Manager Fred Satterstrom explained the proposed ratification of Countywide Planning
Policies. The first issue is an amendment to allow either the 1987 or the 1989 Federal Manual to
delineate wetlands. The second issue to be ratified is an amendment to the boundaries of the Urban
Growth Area for the City of Renton. This area is well outside of any City of Kent's interest area.
Mr. Satterstrom recommended the Committee approve these changes and send these items to the
City Council.
Council member Johnson MOVED to adopt King County Countywide Policies Amendment -
Ratification by Cities and send a final Resolution to the City Council for approval under the consent
calendar. Council member Clark SECONDED the motion. The motion carried.
POTENTIAL DOWNTOWN ZONING AMENDMENTS
Mr. Harris explained that the Downtown Commercial (DC) zone does not allow drive-in facilities.
Cascade Bank is trying to relocate their branch within downtown with the complication that the DC
zone does not allow drive-in facilities.
Mr. Harris explained an additional potential downtown zoning amendment relating to the number
of taverns in the downtown area Council member Clark questioned if this was pursued because of
an increase in crime. Mr. Harris explained this issue originated from the Mayor in August 1995.
Mr. Satterstrom explained another option for Cascade Bank would be to request a rezone from DC
to DCE which would allow the drive-up banking. Chair Orr questioned the time frame for a rezone.

Council Agenda
Item No. 3 A-B
Kent, Washington
February 20, 1996
Regular meeting of the Kent City Council was called to order at
7 : 00 p.m. by Mayor White. Present: Councilmembers Bennett,
Clark, Epperly, Houser, Johnson, Orr and Woods, Operations
Director/Chief of Staff McFall, City Attorney Lubovich, Planning
Director Harris, Public Works Director Wickstrom, Police Chief
Crawford, Fire Chief Angelo, Parks Director Hodgson, and Finance
Director Miller. Approximately 25 people were in attendance.
PUBLIC Introduction of Mayor's Appointees. Mayor White
COMMUNICATIONS introduced Peter Mourer as his appointee to the
Drinking Driver Task Force, and Brad Bell as
appointee to the Human Services Commission.
Regional Justice Center Update. Wendy Keller,
Project Director, noted that the Regional Justice
Center is exactly one year away from opening.
She pointed out that the roof has already been
put on one of the fourteen detention housing
units. She explained that the borrowed light
concept was done where the light comes in through
the exercise yard and through the front of the
cells so that even on a gray day the weather can
be determined. She noted, however, that no one
can look through a window to observe who is
walking by the area. She also noted the steel
framing is being done in the Facilities and
Support section, that the second level is under
construction in the Detention Administration
area, that the brick facade is being done in
front of the Courts Building, and that the top of
the dome has been put up.
Keller explained that the project is still on
schedule after nine months of construction, but
that the Contractor has made a claim for some
days due to the heavy rains in November, the
55 mph wind day in which the site was closed down
and everything was tied down, and the freeze.
She noted that the concrete suppliers froze up
delaying a couple of very important slabs that
needed to be poured on the steel floors of the
courthouse. She explained that a formula was
created and an agreement made which allows the
Contractor thirteen additional days, and that
the opening for the Regional Justice Center which
was scheduled for February 14 , 1997 will probably
open on February 26th based on the contract ad-
justment. She noted, however, that the thirteen
additional days are not compensable days so it.
will cost the Contractor to run these additional
days and that he may not use all of them.
1
February 20 , 1996
PUBLIC Keller noted that the scope of the project has
COMMUNICATIONS not been changed and that the budget has not been
exceeded. She explained that five change orders
have been processed with $50 , 000 being spent
which is very minimal. She noted that the only
unusual issue to come up is parking for the
construction crew, but that an agreement is
currently being worked out between the construc-
tion company and the City. She also noted that
when the issue first came up it was taken to King
County and that 100 slots were obtained from the
Metro Lot for parking.
Upon Mayor White' s question, Keller explained
that the large mound of dirt in the foreground of
the Courts Building is the last bit of dirt that
was used for the preload site and is serving as
an area where the additional top soil can be
stored until it is spread. She noted that the
front walk is currently being preloaded and that
there are two intersecting walks where this dirt
will be used. Keller also noted that the reason
the dirt is covered up is to avoid erosion
issues.
Asia Pacific Trade Exchange Report. Barbara
Ivanov, Executive Director of the Chamber of
Commerce, noted that the Asian company delegates
are from mainland China, Taiwan, Singapore,
Malaysia, and Indonesia. She noted that the
Trade Exchange was held on November 1st and 2nd
at the Red Lion Sea-Tac Hotel, and that there
were over 450 business people hosted both from
the United States and Asia during this event.
She explained that, in addition to the ceremonial
pieces of the exchange, there is also real
business that takes place.
Ms. Ivanov noted that there were over 70 U. S.
companies who participated this year with a very
strong manufacturing delegation of which over 20%
of the companies involved are headquartered in
the Kent Valley. She explained that these com-
panies do not include the regional companies such
as Boeing Company or banks who count Kent as one
of their sites. She pointed out that the real
heart of what goes on is the business people from
all over the world joining together in the Kent
Valley looking to actually conduct business with
small and mid size companies that are becoming
export ready or are looking to grow their markets
internationally. She noted that this was the
2
February 20, 1996
PUBLIC most successful Asia-Pacific Trade Exchange. She
COMMUNICATIONS explained that in 1993 there were 38 new business
relationships created, in 1994 the expansion
continued and saw over twice the number of
exhibitors from the prior year, and in 1995 it
resulted in over 190 immediate trade leads
generated with more than $6 , 000, 000 in immediate
trade sales commitments made. She stated that
participation in Kent-based companies were double
the size as in 1994 due to the effort of the Kent
Chamber to make sure the Kent Valley was strongly
represented.
Ms. Ivanov noted that the ribbon cutting ceremony
for the Foreign Trade Zone took place the second
day of the event, and that this zone is a strong
piece of what can be offered in the Kent trade
and transportation corridor, as it may become
known. She noted that the Apex Company, which
has its roots in the Alexander Trading Company,
is using the opening of the Foreign Trade Zone as
an integral part of their business plan when
looking for financing and expansion.
Scott Jackson, Tradec, expressed appreciation to
the Mayor and Council for their involvement,
leadership and sponsorship of this annual pro-
gram. He explained that the material distributed
to Council tonight has three basic documents for
review which are the evaluation report, trade and
transportation concept paper which tries to com-
municate things happening in the Kent Valley, and
an overview of the 1995 program.
Jackson pointed out that one very important
success for this year is that Washington State is
beginning to understand the true capacity and
activity of the Kent Valley in terms of trade and
transportation, as well as helping to build our
communities trade and transportation priorities
with the understanding that those are also the
State' s priorities. He noted that the continuing
effort of the Council to meet with key stake
holders, both public and private, has been
critical in helping private industry gain
recognition that wasn't there before, along with
real business. He commented that there have
been several very significant developments in the
planning and preparation for 1996 . He noted that
a very extensive review process was done led by
the Kent Chamber and a futures group. He
applauded Barbara Ivanov and the Kent Chamber
3
February 20, 1996
PUBLIC of Commerce Board for making a real effort to
COMMUNICATIONS look at the program in terms of the long-term
sustainability as well as making sure the
sponsorship is safeguarded by increasing private
sector financial participation. He noted that
the Chamber has also looked at how the program is
built in two very important ways as follows:
1) more focus and concentration on the Kent
Valley with Kent businesses the first and fore-
most priority; and 2) taking a look at how the
Asia-Pacific Trade Exchange programming and
promotional materials are integrated into sister
city relationships.
(REMOVED BY OPERATIONS DIRECTOR MCFALL)
King County open Space Bond Issue Report.
Operations Director McFall requested that this
item be removed from tonight' s agenda and re-
scheduled for the March 5th meeting. He noted
that the representative from the Open Space
Committee is not available this evening.
Legislative Update. Arthur Martin, Governmental
Affairs Manager, noted that the legislative
session has shifted into a very unusual time with
many bargaining chips on the table. He explained
that some pieces of legislation with fiscal
impacts on cities are on hold while the House
and Senate versions of the budget, which are
about $1451000, 000 - $165, 000, 000 apart, are
negotiated.
Martin explained that the bill which would allow
the levy to be 106% or inflation, whichever is
lower, is in the House version of the budget
only, and that many feel the Senate will hold
fast. He noted, however, that the Senate has a
number of social issues in their budget which are
strong concerns and that he anticipates the levy
issue will pass in order to get the social spend-
ing requested. He noted that the other bills,
such as the rewrite of Ref. 48 - property rights,
have died. He explained that the bills arrived
at the Senate, but then Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen
said a hearing would not be held so the bills
died along with the lobbying issues where the
Mayor would represent the City. Martin explained
that all of the issues that were adversely going
to affect the cities are gone for this session,
but that they will appear again next year.
4
February 20, 1996
PUBLIC Martin explained that the one issue which was not
COMMUNICATIONS anticipated during the negotiating process with
the Regional Justice Center was parking for the
construction crews during the construction phase.
He noted that the City and County have gone back
into negotiations and that they are close to an
agreement which would give the City between
$30, 000-$40 , 000 for parking in City facilities
while the site is under construction. He also
noted that an agreement has been reached on an
adjustment where the City had not anticipated the
cost of some equipment on the Police Enforcement
Van for the truck weights and that the scale
agreement was received today.
Report on Flooding. Public Works Director
Wickstrom noted that the worst area hit in the
City was located by the "S" curve on Central
Avenue in front of Carpinito Brothers which was a
result of internal flooding by the Mill Creek.
He explained that the worst day came on Thursday
morning when the Drainage Maintenance Supervisor
advised him that the river was going to run at
11,700 cu. ft. per second for seven days and that
12 , 000 cu. ft. per second is the maximum that the
river can carry without overtopping the dikes.
He noted that one of the inspector' s had seen
part of the levee going into the river by
Signature Pointe, and that another part of the
levee was lost during the December storm when
about 4 , 000 feet of bank slid into the river.
He noted that the City was declared to receive
FEMA money to replace the levee. He informed the
Council that the river hit 12 , 500 cu. ft. at one
point but is slowly receding.
Wickstrom explained that the rainfall during the
January, 1990 storm was 2 . 83 inches in one day,
in April of 1991 it was 2 . 2 inches followed by
1. 84 inches resulting in two days of heavy rain-
fall, and that this storm, with several gauges
located throughout the City, recorded 3 1/4
inches in one day on the East Valley Highway in
the Springbrook area. He noted that King County
had a gauge located out by the Lake Meridian
Shopping Center on the detention facility which
hit 4 . 4 inches in one day. Wickstrom noted that
the 100-year storm event projected to occur every
100 years is 3 . 9 inches in a day, just to give
the Council an idea of how this storm measured
up. He noted that there was a great amount of
water to deal with and that eight-men crews were
5
February 20, 1996
PUBLIC running twenty-four hours a day on Thursday,
COMMUNICATIONS Friday and Saturday, but was reduced to four-men
crews for Sunday and Monday. He commended the
Fire and Parks Departments for helping to fill
and distribute over 3 , 000 sandbags.
Wickstrom noted that about $80, 000 was spent for
manpower, labor, equipment and tools. He ex-
plained that the main valley interceptor, the
sewer interceptor that runs through the valley
services all the way from Auburn to the Renton
Treatment Plant, was backed up and overflowing in
various locations . He noted that the water
sources at Clark Springs and Jenkins Creek were
one inch from going into the City' s intake system
which is the overflow system for Kent' s water,
and that it had to be shut off requiring the
system to run off the treatment plant at 212th.
He explained that that system is back online
without any major problems, and that the City was
extremely fortunate in terms of damage to the
system. He explained that there were four slides
involving apartments, one on the lower West Hill,
three on the lower East Hill, but that there were
no major road blowouts. He noted that there was
some minor erosion control or ditch shoulder work
damage that is already in the process of being
repaired and that the big expense to the City
appears to be the cleaning out of the Earthworks
Park or the presettling pond above the Earthworks
Park which is totally full .
Wickstrom explained that the recently approved
three-year rate increase in the drainage utility
identifies projects that will solve essentially
the valley flooding, but with areas like Naden
and the Kmart area on West Valley Highway which
drain to the river there aren't any real options
when the river is full. He noted that there is
nothing the City can do in those areas except to
go back into the area after the flooding and
drain it down. He noted that one of the many
projects the City will be doing is the Valley
Detention Basin/or the Lagoon Conversion Project
which will involve building 300-acre feet of
storage. He explained that an acre feet is one
acre covered with one-foot of water. He noted
that the trunk system was constructed and
completed recently and now the City is busy
constructing the detention basin at the end of
that system before it goes down the canyon on
98th which will provide another 56-acre feet of
6
February 20, 1996
PUBLIC storage when it goes into service to relieve the
COMMUNICATIONS flooding at the 212th interchange. Wickstrom
explained that these detention basins will give
the water a place to go during storm events and
will at least be controlled so the flooding will
not be seen at 212th, 180th and farther down in
Renton. He also noted that the Mill Creek on
Central Avenue is included in the three-year
capital improvement program recently approved by
Council and that all of the box culverts across
roads such as Central Avenue are being upgraded.
He explained that it will re-route the system
around Bowen-Scarff which presently goes under it
and put a new pipe through the freeway with a
whole bunch of box culverts on down through North
4th and 222nd allowing the water to flow down and
into the valley detention basin to relieve the
major flooding areas.
Mayor White commended the Public Works crew for
doing a tremendous job during this storm.
Chief Angelo noted that the City responded to
over 400 calls during the storm period with a
great deal of support from the public who helped
with sandbagging and pumping out of basements.
Chief Angelo explained that there are no cost
figures for overtime or physical damage to the
City as of yet, but that the estimate sent to
King County for damages is over $1, 000, 000. He
explained that the cost documented for damage to
business facilities within the community is at
$80, 000 at this point and that residential damage
is estimated at $338, 000 . He noted that the
City has advertised in the media, on the City' s
Cable TV channel, placed posters in many of the
businesses and major shopping areas which refers
to the FEMA number, and that damage estimates
will be known as people come forward with assess-
ments .
Angelo announced that for the next six weeks FEMA
will be operating out of the East Hill Fire
Station where the public can come in from all
over South King County to get direction on what
they can apply for as far as relief. He noted
that a meeting will be scheduled for the people
at the top and bottom of West Hill within the
next week to bring them all together with some .
people from the State to help them better under-
stand what the long-term solutions are for their
particular situation. He noted that the City was
7
February 20, 1996
PUBLIC very fortunate not to have any more injuries or
COMMUNICATIONS deaths than what was encountered, and that no
shelters were opened in the area simply because
most of the apartment managers were gracious
enough to help make arrangements for people
resulting in minimal impact to the City.
Upon Mayor White' s request, Chief Angelo noted
how the public could access FEMA by calling
1-800-462-9029 which is in effect now for direct
assistance. He noted that FEMA is expected to be
at the East Hill Fire Station by Thursday or
Friday and that the address is 24611 - 116th S.E.
just south of 240th. He noted that FEMA will be
located inside the Administrative Area and that
the public can call the main business number at
859-3322 .

MEMORANDUM
DATE: February 16, 1996
TO: Operations Committee
FROM: Ron Spang, Information Services Division Director
SUBJECT: City Council Home Fax Machines Q
City Consultant Lyle Sumek recently recommended home fax machines for councilmembers in
an effort to improve the timeliness and thoroughness of communications. Information Services
has contacted the city's current fax vendor and several retail outlets. Based on our understanding
of your requirements for a mid-range solution, the following equipment and arrangements are
proposed for this purpose.
FAX/PRINTER DEVICE
The HP Office Jet LX is recommended by Office Depot, CompUSA and Costco. An Office
Depot representative described this device as "the most popular, easiest to use and best on the .
market". Initial city users of this device, the Springwood Substation and Fire Department,
have given positive comments as well. For those councilmembers wishing to continue using
city pc's at home, this device can double as a printer. It also has convenience copying and
scanning capabilities. A "live test" of this device is now underway in Administration to assess
its fit for anticipated council work.
COMPUTER OPTIONS
Councilmembers have the option of using the Office Jet on a standalone basis or with city
provided computer equipment. If both a computer and fax are to be used, they will be
sharing a phone line. At this time, we have a few spare 3S6 pc's available for placement.
These machines will perform adequately for older, "DOS-based" software. If newer "Windows-
based" software is required, the machine performance will be considerably slower, but it will
work. Hardware and software costs for DOS-based 3 86's are nil, since these are now surplus.
For Windows-based software, costs will be about S360/pc. Ne,,ver 486 and/or Pentium pc's
are available, ranging from S1,800 - S2,600.
PHONE LINE CONSIDERATIONS
Councilmembers may share their own personal phone line with city fax and/or computer
equipment. Optionally, councilmembers may request a city-provided phone line through
Information Services. A city-provided business line can be shared by the fax and/or a
computer, but both cannot be used at the same time. City-provided business lines have
been toll-restricted to-date, to minimize exposure to unauthorized long distance calls/costs.
Councilmembers who have call waiting, three-way conferencing, US West voice mail, call
CITY COUNCIL HOME FAX (continued) PAGE 2
forwarding, etc. are encouraged to use the city-provided business line, to avoid unnecessary
complications.
ESTIMATED COSTS AND TMNG
HP Office Jet LX $694 - S100 rebate through February = S594 (possibly lower).
upgrade to 386 pc with DOS = no cost.
upgrade to 386 pc with Windows = 5360.
business line installation, city provided: 5100 (can vary).
business line monthly cost, city provided: 538.87.
business line installation timing: 3 - 5 days, if councilmember+ US West schedules match.
HP Office Jet LX installation: 1 - 2 weeks from request, coordinated with Info. Services.
upgrade to 386 pc = 1 - 2 weeks from request, coordinated with Information Services.
COUNCIL TRAINING
Information Services will provide council training for use of the Office Jet LX and additional
training for councilmembers who wish to use this device in conjunction with city-provided
computer equipment. We recommend one hour for the Office Jet and about 1/2 hour more for
those using this device in conjunction with a computer. We would appreciate handling this
training session in a group setting, to the extent this is possible. Individual arrangements can
be made also.

Re: King County Countvwide Policies Amendment - Ratification by Cities
Dear Mayor White:
We are pleased to forward for your consideration and ratification the enclosed amendments to the
King County 2012 Countywide Planning Policies.
The Growth Management Planning Council (GMPC) met on September 20, 1995 and voted to pass
an amendment to the Phase II Countywide Planning Policies, Wetlands Protection section (Policy
CA-1) to make the language consistent with state law (ESB 5776). The King County Council
passed and ratified this amendment on behalf of the population of unincorporated King County by
Ordinance 12027 on November 20, 1995.
At the GMPC's November 15, 1995 meeting, the Council voted to amend the boundaries of the
Urban Growth Area (UGA) for the City of Renton to include approximately 30 acres of new urban
land in the UGA. The original Renton Joint Planning Area comprised 57 acres (not to include the
30 acres of new land). Of that 57 acres, 29 acres were included in the Urban Growth Area and 28
acres were designated Rural in the King County Comprehensive Plan 1995 Amendment process as
provided for in Countywide Planning Policy FW-1, Step S. King County representatives to the
GMPC proposed adding the 30 acres of new urban land at the November 15 GMPC meeting.
Ordinance 12081 passed and ratified this amendment on behalf of the population of unincorporated
King County.
To assist in your review of the amendments, you will find that new language added to the wetlands
policy is underlined and deleted language is struck through, or in the case of Renton, an ordinance
and map are attached. The proposed amendments are the result of an important effort of the
County, the City of Seattle and the Suburban Cities to work cooperatively in managing growth in
King County. We hope you will join us and ratify this amendment on behalf of our region.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us, Rebecha Cusack, Lead Staff to the King
County Council's Growth Management Committee at 296-0330, or Ikuno Masterson of the Office
of Budget and Strategic Planning, at 296-7251.

RE: Ratification of Renton's Joint Planning Area
Dear Mayor Jim White:
I am requesting, by way of this letter, that your city ratify the amendment to the Countywide Planning
Policies resolving the boundaries of Renton's Joint Planning Area (IPA). After several months of
negotiation with King County staff, the City of Renton and King County have agreed on the boundary
of our JPA established under the Countywide Planning Policies of 1994. The JPA was approved by
the Growth Management Planning Council in November 1995, and adopted by the Metropolitan King
County Council on December 19, 1995 (see attached map).
The new JPA includes a virtual "swap" of about 30 acres that was previously designated as rural for
about 28 acres that was part of the original IPA, but will now be designated as rural. The reason for
the exchange is due to the County's plans to relocate the Elliott Bridge, spanning the Cedar River,
further to the east. Because this bridge represents an important transportation link between the East
Renton Plateau and the Maple Valley Highway, we have consistently held that it should be included
within the urban area.
Under the interlocal agreement covering amendments to the Countywide Planning Policies, the
amendment does not become effective until it is ratified by thirty percent of the jurisdictions
representing seventy percent of the population. Ratification can be by resolution approved by your
City Council. The resolution could reference the King County Ordinance No. 12081 (attached) and
follow the same format used for the original ratification of the Countywide Planning Policies.
Ratification by the local jurisdiction is also deemed to have occurred if there is no action rejecting the
amendment. Renton would appreciate your support of this effort and requests that you ratify the
amendment by either method you prefer. If you have any questions about the JPA, please feel free to
call Mike Kattermann of my staff at 277-6190. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

mini-can (20 gallon can) service to the solid waste collection services available to
Kent residential customers. The rate for this additional service will bea7.90 per
month and the container will be supplied by Kent Disposal. They are proposing this
additional service at the request from several of their customers.
ACTION: Recommend that Kent Disposal provide the additional min-can solid
waste collection service to the Kent residential customers at a rate of
$7.90 per month.

Solid Waste Collection Services - Addition
Wickstrom explained that this is an additional collection, a 20 gallon mini-can, and Kent
Disposal wants us to add this to their service. They have had numerous requests for this;
the rate would be $7.90 per month. Wickstrom recommended that we add this as
another option for service to our customers.
Committee unanimously recommended the additional service be implemented.
Downtown Sidewalk Rehab - Phase II Acceptance
Wickstrom stated that this was the project associated with "rehabbing" the 1st Avenue
sidewalks. He said we had a tree problem and we re-budgeted money to do this project.
He explained that typically, if a project goes over 10%, we bring it back to Committee
prior to taking it to Council for acceptance. He said that this project was over 10% but
already had Council blessing per allocating additional funds so this is really nothing
unknown; this is just a procedure issue.
Committee unanimously recommended that the project be accepted as complete.
GMA Concurrency Ordinance
Wickstrom said Council has adopted the Comprehensive Plan, and in conjunction v4th
that, we are required to adopt a Concurrence Ordinance. An earlier draft had included
transportation, sewer, water and drainage. He explained that our work load would not
accommodate adding all those other entities into concurrency at this time; particularly
with the Meridian Annexation we are dealing with Water District 1 11 and Soos Creek

project and release of retainage after State releases. The
original contract amount was $295, 560. 25. The final
construction cost was $333 , 561. 82 . The overage is due to the
addition of new trees during construction along with the
purchase of a special soil mixture which will provide stability
of tree roots under the sidewalks. Adequate funds exist within
the project fund to cover this overage.

RE: Downtown Sidewalk.Rehabilitation Phase II
This project consisted of replacing cement concrete sidewalks, curbs, gutters and
removing and replacing 25 trees in the downtown area. The contract was awarded to
Gary Merlino Construction for the bid amount of $295,560.25. The final
construction cost was $333,561.82.
This contract exceed the bid amount due to the necessity of adding new trees on the
project, most of which were on Ist Avenue. Included in the cost of the trees was the
additional expense of a special soil mixture that provided stability under the sidewalk
as well as allowing root development without cracking the sidewalk.
Adequate funds exist within the project fund to cover this overage.
ACTION: Recommend Downtown Sidewalk. Rehabilitation, Phase 1I project be
accepted as complete.

Sewer and Water District, per those other services thus malting it much more
complicated. We would like to limit the Concurrency Ordinance to transportation
which is the issue mandated under the Growth Management Act and then, if there is a
need, we can go back in subsequent years and add the other issues. Wickstrom, said that
what we were proposing under the original Concurrency Ordinance was, malting sure
that our Construction Standards where met, which that requirement is already in place
anyway. He said we would like to buildup some history with this before we add the
other issues. Wickstrom recommended having a public hearing set for March 19th to
get input and recommended adopting the Ordinance at that time.
Committee unanimously recommended setting March 19th as the public hearing and if
major issues are not raised, adopt the Concurrency Ordinance.
Discussion: Clark stated that the idea of establishing concurrency is to meet the needs
of the community and adapt to the population as it grows. Clark said that
transportation is the issue that must be dealt with now. He asked if there is any type of
tracking process to determine the current levels of service or what the future needs would
be. Wi&strom said that was all done in conjunction with the Comprehensive Plan.
Under the Management Act, the only issue that is mandatory is transportation, and we
are asking that we limit Concurrency Management for now to transportation based on
our workload. He said that previously we were looking at water, sewer and storm but
they all have other complicating issues.
Brubaker noted that this concurrency concept is a "new ground" that all the cities are
into. Theoretically, if you can't meet the concurrency requirements, than a development
moratorium could exist. He said it is probably wise to start out with one single issue.
Kent Shuttle Service
Wickstrom said that we are proposing a shuttle servicein Kent running an hour between
busses. He said we will need Metro's concurrence on this as we had obtained with the
Jingle Bus service. We cannot compete either with routes that may take service away
from the Metro bus system or charge for service. He said that we need to pass a
Resolution showing Metro that our Council wants this to happen. Wickstrom said that
there is money for this proposal within the downtown transit budget. To provide this
service, we are essentially using the funds that we have available and not infringe on the
money that we had set aside to match the ISTEA grant shuttle project which will be
implemented following this proposal.
Committee unanimously recommended that Council adopt a Resolution authorizing staff

FROM: Don Wickstrom, Director of Public Worki
RE: GMA Concurrency Ordinanc
w_��
Attached is a copy of the above referenced proposed Ordinance. As you're aware, said
ordinance is mandated by GMA. As you may recall, an earlier draft thereof included not just
the Transportation System per concurrency management but also the sewer, water and
drainage systems. This version limits same to just transportation which is the only mandated
concurrency management requirement of the Growth Management Act. The premise behind
this limit is primarily work load. A point recently driven home with the advent of the
Meridian Annexation. If the concurrency management needs to address the other systems they
can be added in the future at which time we will have had some experience in concurrency
management.
The service level and methodology associated therewith is that which was previously presented
to Council and adopted in the Comprehensive Plan. The determination of the adequacy of the
City system includes considering those transportation improvements of the adopted 6 year
Capital Facility Plan. Exemptions to this ordinance are reflected on page 13 therein. With
respect to the time frame per our June 1995 submittal to the State Department of Community,
Trade & Economic Development we had indicated that this ordinance would be to them by
September 95 as such we're late. Further not proceeding towards adoption of the ordinance
could result in sanctions (withholding of City tax revenues) by the State.
ACTION: Recommend setting a public hearing date for the March 19th Council meeting
for the adoption of this Ordinance.

City of Kent , Washington, relating to the
establishment of standards and procedures for
providing compliance with the concurrency
requirements of the State Growth Management
Act ; and adding a new Chapter 12 . 11 to the
Kent City Code, entitled "Concurrency
Management" .
WHEREAS , the Growth Management Act provides that public
facilities and services shall be adequate to serve development at
the time development is available for occupancy and use without
decreasing current levels of service below established minimum
standards ; and
WHEREAS, the Growth Management Act mandates that local
governments adopt and enforce policies and regulations which
prohibit development approval if the development causes the level
of service on a transportation facility to decline below the
standards adopted in the transportation element of the
Comprehensive Plan unless transportation improvements or
strategies to accommodate the impacts of development are made
concurrent with the development or within six years ; and
follows :
u+�u«txeirc y
WHEREAS, the Kent Planninc Commission, after numerous
meetings and public hearings , recommended a Comprehensive Plan,
including a transportation element , to identify changes which
would help improve the balance among land use, transportation
investment and transportation capacity and a capital facilities
element to identify appropriate levels of service standards and
funding strategies for capital facilities; and
WHEREAS, the Kent City Council reviewed the Planning
Commission ' s recommendations in the Comprehensive Plan, including
the transportation element and caoital facilities element ; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to implement the
requirements of the Growth Management Act and the Planning
Commission' s recommendations ; and

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENT, WASHINGTON, DOES
HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS :
SECTION 1 . A new Chapter 12 . 11 is hereby added to the
Kent City Code, entitled "Concurrency Management" , to read as
follows :
CHAPTER 12 .11 . CONCURRENCY MANAGEMENT.
Sec. 12 .11 . 010 . Purpose.
The purpose of this chapter is to set forth specific
standards providing for City compliance with the concurrency
requirements of the State Growth Management Act (GMA) and for
consistency between city and countywide planning policies under
the GMA. The GMA requires that adequate street capacity is
provided concurrently with development to handle the increased
traffic projected to result from growth and development in the
city and region . The purpose of this chapter is to ensure that
the City' s transportation system shall be adequate to serve the
future development at the time the development is available for
occupancy, hereinafter referred to as "concurrency" , without
decreasing current service levels below established minimum
standards . The intent of this chapter is to establish a
Transportation Concurrency Management System (TOMS) to ensure
that the necessary facilities and/or programs needed to maintain
a minimum level of service can be provided simultaneous to, or
3
within a reasonable time of new development as required in the
GMA.
The GNLA requires that a specific set of standards be
developed to measure and ensure ==-pliance through the inclusion
of :
A. Standards for roadways that balance congestion
management with land use objectives .
B . Traffic zones tailored to area characteristics and
needs .
C. Level of Service Standards for each traffic zone
which include availability of other mobility options and use of
an area-average method of evaluat_ng roadway system adequacy.
Sec . 12 . 11 . 020 . Definitions .
For purposes of this chaoter, the following definitions
apply:
A. Affected Arterial . Any street which can be
identified as significant to the area in which it serves in terms
of the nature and composition of travel and which will be
impacted by new development . Arterials serve major centers of
activity and carry the major portion of the traffic entering and
leaving the city.
B . Affected intersection . A designated signalized
intersection as set forth in Section 12 . 11 . 100 within a traffic
zone in the city over which the city has operational
responsibility and which will be impacted by new development .
4
C . Application . Any development proposal and
accompanying traffic analysis as required in this chapter used to
determine the impact on each facility and/or mobility management
zone it affects .
D. Area-Average level-of-service . The sum of volumes
on critical arterials and at key intersections as defined in
Highway Capacity Manual Special Report No . 209 dated December,
1985 , divided by the sum of the capacity on critical arterials
and at key intersections within a mobility management zone .
E . Background traffic . The volume of traffic that
currently exists on the street system prior to date of occupancy
of a proposed development . Background traffic includes all
existing traffic and the anticipated traffic from all developmer.
proposals which have been approved under this chapter.
F . Capacity. The maximum traffic volume that can
pass through an intersection or arterial during a given peak hour
as measured by the sum of critical volumes as defined in the
Highway Capacity Manual Special Report 209 dated December, 1985 .
G . Capital facilities plan (CFP) . The 6-year plan
for capital improvements that support the City' s current and
future population and employment growth. It contains LOS
standards for each public facility, a financing plan for
necessary facilities, and requires that new development is served
by adequate facilities for which concurrency is required under
this chapter . The CFP also contains broad goals and specific
policies for all public facilities .
H . Capital improvement . Land, improvements to land,
structures ( including design, permitting, and construction) ,
initial furnishings and selected equipment . Capital improvements
have an expected useful life of at least 5 years and a cost of at
least twenty-five thousand ($25 , 000) dollars . Other canital
costs , such as motor vehicles and motorized equipment , computers
and office equipment , office furnishings, and small tools are
considered to be non-capacity capital expenses in the City ' s
annual Capital Improvement Plan budget , and are not capacity
capital improvements for the purposes of the Comprehensive Plan,
or the issuance of development permits .
I . Concurrency. Requirement of the 1990 Growth
Management Act (RCW 35 . 70A. 070 (E ) ) requiring that the City may
only permit development approval if a development would not cause
level-of-service to fall below the city ' s adopted standard,
except for transportation facilities where revenues are or may be
secured to complete mitigating transportation improvements or
strategies within six years . When a development fails to meet
the concurrency test , mitigation will require improvements or
strategies to accommodate the impacts of the development . Demand
management and other non-roadway s rategies may be used for
transportation mitigation. Concurrency is further defined in
Section 12 . 11 . 050 .
J. Development. Construction and/or substantial
modification of structures or improvements to land which will
F
alter, modify and/or expand a use of land in a manner that may
cause adverse impacts .
K. Development permit or approval . Any document
granting, or granting with conditions , a rezone, plat , planned
unit development, conditional use permit , shoreline substantial
development permit , building permit , or any other official action
of the City having the effect of authorizing the development of
land.
1 . Final development hermit . A building permit,
or any other development permit which results in an immediate and
continuing impact upon public facilities .
2 . Preliminary development approval . Including,
but not limited to, a rezone, plat , planned unit development , or
shoreline substantial development permit .
L. Director. The Public Works Director for the City
of Kent , the Director ' s authorized representative or any
representative authorized by the Mayor.
M. Degradation . An increase in the volume/capacity
ratio (V/C ratio) above the area-wide level-of-service (LOS)
standard for a mobility management zone as established in
12 . 11 . 060 .
N. Funded project . A project in the most recently
adopted capital facilities plan (CFP) for the city or similar
capital program of another jurisdiction which has sufficient
revenues secured for construction or which meets the facility
concurrency requirements of Section 12 . 11 . 050 .
7
O. Level of Service (LOS) Standard . For the purpose
of this chapter, level of service (LOS) shall mean a qualitative
estimate of the performance efficiency of the City ' s
transportation facilities and is tailored for each of the City ' s
(22) twenty-two mobility management zones (MMZ) , reflecting
distinct roadway conditions and multiple community objectives .
LOS standards for arterials , transit and pedestrian/bicycles
within each of the twenty-two zones are set forth in Section
12 . 11 . 100 below.
P. Mitigation . For the purposes of this chapter,
mitigation shall mean transportation demand management strategies
and/or facility improvements constructed or financed by a
developer which return a degraded area-average level-of-service
to the standard established for _hat area . If an area is already
exceeding the standard prior to the development proposal ,
mitigation shall mean transportation demand management strategies
and/or facility improvements constructed or financed by a
developer to return the degraded area-average level-of-service to
at least the level-of-service established for that area.
Q. Mobility management (MMZ) zones . Distinct
transportation areas within the city limits and the City' s
potential annexation area with boundaries based on certain
criteria as set forth in the City' s Comprehensive Transportation
Plan, which is a supporting document to the City' s Comprehensive
Plan. Mobility management zones are set forth in Section
12 . 11 . 100 . Some mobility management zones include intersections
8
and arterials outside the City' s jurisdiction .
R. Peak hour. The consecutive sixty-minute period
between the hours of 4 p.m. and 6 p .m. which experiences the
highest sum of traffic volumes as determined by the city on a
roadway segment or passing through an intersection . This is also
referred to in this chapter as the "p .m. peak hour" .
S . Peak hour trips . Total vehicular trips entering
and leaving a project during the peak hour on adjacent streets,
as defined in the most recent ITE Trip Generation Manual,
published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers . other
trip generation sources subject to approval by the director may
be used where ITE data is based on a limited survey sample or
where there may be special trip-generating characteristics of th-
proposal .
T. Phased Development. Any development involving
multiple buildings or improvements where issuance of development
permits would not occur at the same time, but be phased over a
period of time .
U. Public facilities . The capital improvements and
systems of the transportation facilities and/or services
requiring concurrency.
V. site specific improvements . Improvements made to
transportation systems, the need for which results directly from
a development permit or decision made under the Kent Zoning Code
or other provisions of the Kent City Code relating to development
permits . For transportation facilities , such improvements may
9
include , but are not limited to, site access , turning lanes ,
traffic signals , changes in traffic signal operation and
modification of intersection geometries . Site specific
improvements include right-of-way and related frontage
improvements when they are required to be dedicated or
constructed at the time of building permit issuance .
W. Supplemental links and intersections . An
intersection or roadway link which contributes to the system
function within each mobility management zone . System
intersections within the mobility management zones are listed and
mapped in Section 12 . 11 . 100 with levels of service for each zone .
X. Transportation Demand Management (TDM) . Public
and/or private programs designed to increase the efficiency of
existing capital transportation facilities, including, but not
limited to, transit and ridesharing incentives , flexible working
hours , parking management, and supporting non-motorized
enhancements to decrease single occupancy vehicle trips .
Y. Transportation facilities . Streets, roads,
highways , sidewalks , street and road lighting systems, traffic
signals , non-motorized enhancements , and related systems and site
specific improvements .
Z . Under construction . When a construction contract
for a project has been awarded or actual physical alteration' or
improvement has occurred on the site .
AA. Volume/capacity ratio (v/c ratio) . The proportion
of available intersection capacity used by vehicles passing
10
through an intersection as defined in the Highway Capacity Manual
Special Report 209 dated December, 1985 .
Sec . 12 . 11 . 030 . Administration and application.
A. Administration. The public works director shall
be responsible for the administration of all activities relating
to this chapter and shall coordinate with other departments , as
appropriate, in implementing the provisions of this chapter. The
public works director may implement administrative policies
deemed necessary and/or appropriate to implement the provisions
of this chapter .
B . General Application . This chapter applies to all
land use development applications filed after its effective data
under the Kent City Code also and applies to the following types
of development activities .
1 . Phased Development . The requirements of this
chapter shall be applied at the time of approval of the initial
phase and shall be adjusted for each subsequent phase based on
the cumulative impact of all the phases .
2 . Chanae in Occupancv. This chapter will apply
to applications for tenant improvements if a proposed new use or
an expanded existing use will generate new p .m. peak hour trips .
3 . Rezones . The city may approve a proposed
rezone only if the full facility impacts of site development are
disclosed at the time of application assuming full development of
the property under the proposed zoning classification using the
- 1
highest trip generating permitted uses . Lack of concurrency will
not be a basis for denial of a rezone, however, any subsequent
development is subject to the concurrency requirements of this
chapter . Specific requirements for public facility improvements
to mitigate the impacts of a proposed rezone and assure
compliance with this chapter may be imposed as a condition of
rezone .
4 . Concomitant Aareements . Unless the agreement
specifically provides otherwise, this chapter applies to any
development application that is subject to an existing
concomitant agreement .
S . Reconstruction. of Destroved Buildinas . If a
building to which this chapter did not apply at time of
construction is destroyed by fire , explosion or Act of God or
war, and is reconstructed in accordance with city code, it will
not be required to comply with this chapter unless the
reconstructed building produces public facility impacts in excess
of those produced by the destroyed building .
C . SEPA . This chapter is not intended to limit the
application to the State Environmental Policy Act to specific
proposals . Each proposal shall be reviewed and may be
conditioned or denied under the authority of the State
Environmental Policy Act .
D. Traffic impact analysis. As part of the land use
development application, the applicant will be required to submit
a traffic impact analysis to identify all traffic impacts upon
12
key arterials , intersections and nonmotorized facilities within a
particular zone . The traffic impact analysis shall be done
consistent with the City of Kent ' s Administrative Guidelines for
the Requirement of Traffic Impact Analysis of New Development .
Sec . 12 . 11 . 040 . Exemptions .
The portion of any facility used for any of the
following purposes is exempt only from the concurrency
requirements and not from the application and processing
requirements of this chapter or for the requirement to do site
specific improvements :
1 . Day care facility for children, as defined in the
Kent Zoning Code, if not operated for profit ;
2 . Privately operated not for profit social service
facilities recognized by the Internal Revenue Service under
Internal Revenue Code;
3 . Low income housing, which is defined as housing
which is affordable to persons whose income is below fifty
percent of the median income for the persons residing in the
Seattle Metropolitan. Statistical Area . Not more than ten percent
of the total number of units in a project shall be exempt under
this subsection;
4 . Development that is vested by RCW 19 . 27 . 095 , RCW
58 . 17 . 033 , RCW 58 . 17 . 170 , or KCC 14 . 11 .
S . Single family homes on legal lots of record.
13
Notwithstanding the exemptions hereunder provided, the
traffic impacts on public facilities resulting from an exempt use
shall nonetheless be included in computing available capacity.
6 . Any development creating less than 10 peak hour
trips as defined in this chapter .
Sec . 12 . 11 . 050 . Adequate Public Facility Concurrency.
The issuance of development permits shall be
conditioned on a determination than there is concurrency
(sufficient capacity remaining on a public facility to meet the
level of service standards for the impacts of existing
development and impacts of the proposed new development) , and
shall be determined in accordance with the following:
1 . Where adequate capacity exists at the time
development permit or approval is issued; or
2 . The City has in place binding financial
commitments to complete the necessary public facilities or
strategies within six years , provided that :
a . The capital facilities plan as defined
in the Kent Comprehensive Plan must be financially feasible; and
b. The City uses a realistic, financially
feasible funding system based on revenue sources available
according to laws adopted at the time the Capital Facilities Plan
is adopted; and
C . The Capital Facilities Plan in the Kent
Comprehensive Plan must demonstrate that the actual construction
14
of the roads , nonmotorized and transit facilities are scheduled
to commence during or before the sixth year of the Capital
Facilities Plan; and
d . The Capital Facilities Plan must include
facilities necessary to eliminate existing level of service
deficiencies as well as those necessary to maintain adopted level
of service standards to serve new development .
Sec . 12 .11 . 060 . Application - transportation level of service
standard.
1 . Degradation limits of mobility management
zones . A development proposal will not be approved which causes
the congestion to exceed the level of service (LOS) standard in
mobility management zone (MMZ) and not mitigated by: 1) the
existing street network; 2) fully funded projects; 3) street
improvements under contract as part of other approved development
proposals which are fully funded and/or; 4) developer mitigation
in accordance with Section 12 . 11 . 090 .
2 . Area-average level-cf-service standards .
Level-of-service standards are tailored for each mobility
management zone, reflecting distinct conditions and multiple
community objectives, with an area-average approach used to
measure system adequacy. The area-average approach is used to
measure system adequacy. The area-average method measures the
average level-of-service on critical arterials and at key
intersections within each mobility management zone .
15
Sec . 12 . 11 . 070 Development application procedures -
approval/denial .
A. Application . Any application and accompanying
traffic analysis which is subject to this chapter shall be
reviewed by the Director and used to determine the impact on each
zone and/or service area it affects . A proposal will not be
approved under this chapter if there is no concurrency with
public facilities as required in this chapter . Additionally, the
director will determine if mitigation is required and appropriate
under this chapter due to lac',: of concurrency and, if so, whether
any mitigation proposed by the developer meets the requirements
of 12 . 11 . 090 .
3 . Final Development Permit . No final development
permit shall be issued by the City unless there is sufficient
capacity of public facilities available to meet the standards for
levels of service for existing development and for the proposed
development .
C . Preliminary Development Permit . Except for
rezones , no preliminary development approval shall be issued by
the City unless the applicant obtains a determination of the
capacity of public facilities as part of the review and approval
of the preliminary development approval .
D . Processing of Applications - Approval/Denial .
Issuance of final development permits and preliminary development
approvals shall be subject to the concurrency requirements set
forth in Section 12 . 11 . 050 and further subject to the following :
16
1 , Determination of Ca a�city -- FYpiration . The
determination that facility capacity is available shall be based
on information provided by the applicant to the satisfaction and
approval of the director. The determination of capacity shall be
binding on the City at such time as the City determines that

1. SUBJECT: KENT SHUTTLE SERVICE - RESOLUTION
2 . SUMMARY STATEMENT: As recommended by the Public Works
Committee, authorization to adopt Resolution No. which
authorizes staff to retain a service provider and enter into a
contract to supply shuttle service to the Kent area after first
obtaining approval from Metro. The estimated cost to operate
this service for the balance of this year is approximately
$69,000 with funds coming from the City's Downtown Transit Demo
budget. Service would consist of one bus running on a route
similar to that of the "Jingle Bus" with pickups at
predetermined stops made once every hour.

Council Agenda
Item No. 3P
Sewer and Water District, per those other services thus malting it much more
complicated. We would like to limit the Concurrency Ordinance to transportation
which is the issue mandated under the Growth Management Act and then, if there is a
need, we can go back in subsequent years and add the other issues. Wickstrom, said that
what we were proposing under the original Concurrency Ordinance was, malting sure
that our Construction Standards where met, which that requirement is already in place
anyway. He said we would like to build up some history with this before we add the
other issues. Wickstrom recommended having a public hearing set for March 19th to
get input and recommended adopting the Ordinance at that time.
Committee unanimously recommended setting March 19th as the public hearing and if
major issues are not raised, adopt the Concurrency Ordinance.
Discussion: Clark stated that the idea of establishing concurrency is to meet the needs
of the community and adapt to the population as it grows. Clark said that
transportation is the issue that must be dealt with now. He asked if there is any type of
tracking process to determine the current levels of service or what the future needs would
be. Wickstrom said that was all done in conjunction with the Comprehensive Plan.
Under the Management Act, the only issue that is mandatory is transportation, and we
are asking that we limit Concurrency Management for now to transportation based on
our workload. He said that previously we were looking at water, sewer and storm but
they all have other complicating issues.
Brubalcer noted that this concurrency concept is a "new ground" that all the cities are
into. Theoretically, if you can't meet the concurrency requirements, than a development
moratorium could exist. He said it is probably wise to start out with one single issue.
Dent Shuttle Service
Wickstrom said that we are proposing a shuttle servicein Kent running an hour between
busses. He said we will need Metro's concurrence on this as we had obtained with the
Jingle Bus service. We cannot compete either with routes that may take service away
from the Metro bus system or charge for service. He said that we need to pass a
Resolution showing Metro that our Council wants this to happen. Wicicstrom said that
there is money for this proposal within the downtown transit budget. To provide this
service,we are essentially using the funds that we have available and not infringe on the
money that we had set aside to match the ISTEA grant shuttle project which will be
implemented following this proposal.
Committee unanimously recommended that Council adopt a Resolution authorizing staff
2
to retain a service provider and enter into a contract to supply shuttle service.
Discussion: Ed White stated that with the jingle Bus shuttle service, we monitored
different locations thru Para Transit,which was the service provider at that time and we
will have the ability to monitor thru the new service provider. In response to Clark,
White stated that the senior citizens made up approximately 90% of the inquiries for a
shuttle service.
ADDITIONAL ITEM:
Issue of providing sewer service into failed septic system neighborhoods.
Wickstrom stated that with the Meridian Annexation, we have inherited certain specific
neighborhoods that were developed in the early '60s and are experiencing chronic septic
system failure. He noted that the Derbyshire area, (west of 124th Ave, south of 272nd)
is one such neighborhood. Presently, we have a residence therein with a failed septic
system. The property owner has estimated the cost to provide sewer service would be
about $35,000. Wickstrom said that this particular neighborhood has small houses -
about 300 homes with a history of failing septic systems. Wickstrom said that his
proposal is to budget some money each year for sewer extensions within such areas with
reimbursement by the property owner therein of their fair share of the cost upon
connecting to the system. Wickstrom noted by doing so, over time these chronic
problem areas, including the health issues associated therewith would be resolved along
with the City getting reimbursed for the cost.
Wickstrom recommended budgeting such funds on a yearly basis and that the work done
within any one year would be subject to the budget limitations. Wickstrom stated that
right now he wants to use some money in the Miscellaneous Sewer fund to help resolve
this particular property owner's problem. Eventually a Resolution will be prepared for
Council seeking concurrence with this approach.
Committee unanimously concurred with Wickstrom's recommendation of helping the
property owner at this time and recommended such a Resolution be brought before
Council for adoption.
Meeting adjourned: 4:30 p.m.

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
February 28, 1996
TO: Public Works Comm�it�e
FROM: Don Wickstrom DiP�ctor of Public Works
RE: Kent Shuttle Service
In response to numerous requests made by citizens, City staff is making plans to bring shuttle
service back to the Kent area. The cost to operate this service for one year is approximately
$69,000 with funds coming from the City's Downtown Transit Demo budget. Service would
consist of one bus running on a route similar to that of the "Jingle Bus" with pickups a
predetermined stops made once every hour.
The original project (Jingle Bus) ran from November 24, 1995 to December 30, 1995, traveled
on a route which carried riders from the Kent Downtown to several areas on East Hill.
Frequency of service was every half hour. it took each bus approximately one hour to
complete the entire route. The total cost of the project was $23, 769. The main purpose of the
Jingle Bus service was to provide access to various businesses in the downtown core area, and
different commercial sites on East Hill. The focus of this new project would remain basically
the same with some minor adjustments in routing and scheduling. The intent of this project
is also to build a foundation in which future expanded service through King County/Metro
would be possible.
Further to provide this service requires King County/Metro concurrence as was similarly
obtained for the "Jingle Bus" service. As such to aide us in seeking their approval, a Council
resolution supporting same and authorizing staff to proceed would be appropriate. The
Transit Advisory Board meets on Thursday and we assume they will support such actions.
Should they not,we will bring it back to Public Works Committee versus going to Council to
adopt a resolution.
ACTION: Recommendation to Council to adopt a Resolution which authorizes staff to
retain a service provider and enter into a contract to supply shuttle service as
described above.

1
WHEREAS, the City has made allocations to provide
$69 , 000 in funding to provide a single bus operation route

SUBJECT: SISTER CITY AGREEMENT WITH FERDE, NORWAY
I have given each of you a copy of the agreement that has been developed for our proposed Sister
City Relationship with Ferde,Norway. This proposed agreement, developed by the Kent Sister City
Association and the Kent/Sunnjford Sister City Partnership Committee, follows closely the format
that we have developed for our other three sister cities. It strives to emphasize cooperation and
exchanges that will promote and strengthen understanding between the citizens of our cities.
The proposed agreement is simply a starting point for dialogue. Nothing has been decided as vet that
obligates the City of Kent to anything other than exploring the possibilities and opportunities.
When we hear back from Norway, I will share with you their views on how the Sister City
Relationship should develop.
I will not be proposing any budget adjustment as we pursue this relationship.

Interurban Trail - a "public recreation area" - runs through the center of the industrial area. With a
one -quarter mile setback, much of the NO zoning district would be off-limits to hazardous
substance/waste land uses if variances were not granted. Since 1993, six variances from this setback
regulation have been granted by the City: Matlack Inc. (#V-93-2), Leisure Supply (9V-93-4), Pacific
Detroit Diesel (#V-93-5), Preservative Paints (4V-95-4), Puget Power (4V-95-7), and Heath Tecna
(#V-95-8). Variances have been granted because all applicants have demonstrated that without relief
from this requirement the use could not be located anywhere on the property. Yet, environmental
impacts have been mitigated through the SEPA process as well as by compliance with spill
contingency plans required by the City and state. The continued review of these variance requests
together with the public hearing requirement is not warranted.
Staff recommendation:
The Planning Department staff recommends that Section 15.08.050D.9.a.(3) be modified as follows:
(3) One -quarter mule from public parks, public recreation areas or natural preserves, or
state or federal wildlife refuges, provided that for purposes of this section public
recreation areas does not include public trails.

March 5, 1996
MEMO TO: MAYOR WHITE AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: JAMES P. HARRIS, PLANNING DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: PROPOSED ADJUSTMENTS TO THE POTENTIAL ANNEXATION
AREA (PAA)
The City Council Planning Committee, at its meeting of February 20, recommended
the following changes to the Potential Annexation Area (PAA) between Kent and
Renton:
Move Kent's PAA boundary north from SE 196th Street to SE 192nd
Street
2. Move Kent's PAA boundary easterly, along SE 200th Street from 106th
Avenue SE to 108th Avenue SE.
3. Move Kent's PAA boundary westerly along SE 200th Street from 92nd
Avenue S. to the westerly side of the Valley Freeway (this change will
entail a future deannexation of Kent's area and annexation to Renton).
4. Move Kent's PAA boundary at SE 1 92nd Street and extending northerly
to SE 180th Street, where the boundary lies just east of the Valley
Freeway, westerly across the freeway (this change will also entail a
future deannexation of Kent's area and annexation to Renton).
Kent staff recently met with Renton staff to discuss these PAA changes and the
consensus is that these changes will more truly reflect areas that relate to Kent and
Renton and the reality of a recent Renton purchase of a large area lying just east of
the Valley Freeway at 92nd Avenue South and 200th Street.
The attached map shows these proposed changes.

180th where it lies just easterly of the Valley Freeway, westerly across the

Council member Tim Clark MOVED to accept the potential annexation area boundary chances as
outlined by staff and send this item to the March 5, 1996 City Council meeting under other business.

Kent Saturday Market Building
Director of Operations Brent McFall brought forward Linda Johnson and Chuck Turner of the Kent
Downtown Partnership (KDP) to update the Committee on the status of the Kent Saturday Market
Building. Linda stated that the KDP does not have a proposal to bring forward yet. She stated that
they are still in the planning stages. She explained that an emergency meeting of the KDP was held
last week. With the extra costs that were projected for the project, the Partnership was
uncomfortable with moving forward with the previous proposal. The consensus was that the project
would have to be trimmed down to the point it was not as good as originally projected. Chuck
Turner stated that it is hoped that private investors can be brought in or grants received so that the
Kent Downtown Partnership can purchase the building and plans from the City and complete the
project. He noted that after attending a meeting on obtaining grants, it is clear that the KDP needs
to attain a 501(c)3 status. Linda noted that it is hoped that when a proposal is brought back to the
City, a graduated payback scale will be possible.
McFall noted that from the staff s prospective it is better to hold up now rather than rush into the
project. The additional costs of going through the public works bids statutes is what has led to
reconsideration. He noted that the Saturday Market will operate at the current location this year and
give the KDP an opportunity to put together a proposal to purchase the building and plans from the
City which was the original intent anyway. Committeemember Orr asked if the Saturday Market
would operate outdoors as usual. Linda replied that the vendors have been informed that it will open
April 14 in the parking lot. She noted that the hours will be extended to Saturday/Sunday operation.
Chuck Turner noted that this move will allow the project to move forward at a normal pace instead
of the pressure to make an opening date. It is still possible the building could be opened this market
season in which case it would be publicized through the market. He stated that the KDP would like
to come out with a facility to be proud of instead of a `/ finished building if scaled back now. Turner
explained that even though they are taking a step back, the KDP will proceed as rapidly as possible.
He concluded that the KDP feels there is a great potential for private investors, grants, and fund
raising to purchase the building.
" McFall stated that the City will have the care costs of the building as well as interest costs from the
loan from ourselves. He explained that Finance staff will continue to work on the design and sell
the plans with the building. After further discussion, Leona stated she appreciated the KDP's

willingness to make the best thing happen. Linda Johnson noted that the majority of the vendors will 4
be disappointed but that anything worth doing, is worth doing right. Chuck Turner stated that he
is not precluding opening this summer if possible.
City Council Term Limits
City Attorney Roger Lubovich explained that the proposed ordinance provides term limits for the
Council and Mayor of three terms or twelve years whether full terms or partial. He noted that it is
possible to serve for Mayor and Council for three terms each and it does not preclude running again
non -consecutively. During discussion, Roger noted that any previous or current terms would not
be counted if the ordinance is passed and that previous language from the transition from a part-time
mayoral position has been cleaned -up. Roger noted that an initiative being circulated includes
compensation which is not appropriate for an initiative but term limits could be retroactive. During
further discussion Connie Epperly stated that the public likes term limits. She explained that
initiatives can include more issues and be signed because of the term limits.
Chair Johnson suggested a public hearing be held and asked if Councilmembers present would like
to consider the Mayor's salary at the same time. It was decided to set the hearing date at the next
Council meeting for the first meeting in March. It was decided to bring forward term limits only at
this time.
Investment Committee Appointment
Brent McFall noted that the Investment Policy the Council adopted last night provides for an
Investment Oversite Committee with a member from the Operations Committee. McFall asked if
Johnson would be willing to serve on the Investment Oversite Committee. Johnson agreed to serve.
May Miller said they plan to have a meeting quarterly which would probably only be for a half hour
to an hour. McFall stated that the Mayor will make the appointment at the next Council meeting.
Citv Council Rules
Johnson asked that a section be drafted regarding committee absences. He noted that it was
discussed at the retreat that if three unexcused absences from committee meetings occur in a year
that the Council President can remove the member on a fourth absence and reappoint another
Councilmember to fill the absence. Johnson asked if the Council Presidency should be limited to
one two year term and whether it should be based on seniority. Leona responded that she had no
problem with a two year limit since it would allow everyone an opportunity to serve. A discussion
of how to appoint committees -was held. Leona stated that it would not be appropriate for a newly
elected Councilmember to serve as a committee chair for the first two years. In responding to
Johnson's suggestion that committees be assigned by seniority with members choosing their
committees, Orr noted that it would probably be very confusing and the president has always tried
to poll the members in the past. McFall noted that a seniority based president or committee
assignments could create problems in the future. The City of Kent has only had one new member
at a time which is unusual. It was decided to continue with the President making committee
assignments. The Council President would be elected by the Council every two years with the
previous president ineligible..
Johnson stated that in Section 22 Christi Houser had requested that it be added that any decision
made by the council president could be overturned by a majority of the full Council. A discussion

of a section providing for the removal of a council president was discussed but not added. Leona
"r noted that Sections 22 and 25 were redundant. Roger noted there was a distinction between them
but would look at rewording them to be more consistent. During further discussion, Roger asked
at what point would another Councilmember be asked to sit in on a committee. It was decided to
include language stating the committee chair would request the council president or another member
sit in beyond a quorum. Leona asked to have section 27 clarified and typographical errors corrected
in other sections. A discussion of passing the gavel was followed by a discussion of time allowances
for limiting remarks. A discussion of executive sessions added language stating the Mayor and
appropriate staff and persons as authorized by Council will be in attendance.
Johnson stated that he would call Bennett and update him on the changes suggested today and would
ask Roger to bring a new draft to the next meeting. He stated that committeemember can call Roger
if they think of anything they would like to have put in to discuss.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 5:55 p.m.

Funding for Citv Council Home Fax Maghjn„ ,
Information Services Director Ron Spang stated that at the City Council Retreat, Lyle Sumek had
suggested fax machines to improve Council communications. He stated that staff had looked into
using the HP facsimile machine which is consistent with printers used throughout the City. He
recommended that all Councilmembers have a second phone line dedicated to their computer/fax
machine. He noted that it will not be possible to use the modem at the same time as the fax machine.
In addition, he noted that the fax machine could also be used as a printer whether or not they decided
to upgrade computers. Roger Lubovich noted the $100 rebate was only through February. Ron
stated that Bob Olson would contact each of the Councilmembers to arrange installation and to see
if they wished to upgrade their computer hardware and/or software. Director of Operations Brent
McFall recommended that the fax machine solution and telephone lines be funded as a Council
change to the Council Budget. Committeemember Bennett stated he has not used his computer due
to its limited use and his feeling that the fax machine is the greatest tool in business besides the
computer. Orr stated that the four Councilmembers present were favorable and perhaps the order
should be placed to receive the rebate. Johnson noted at the retreat all the Council was in favor of
the fax machines. Orr moved to recorrunend the acquisition of the fax machines and telephone lines
with the necessary budget change with the order being placed immediately if the Council
unanimously agrees by telephone poll. Bennett seconded the motion which carried with a vote of
3-0.
Citv Council Rules
City Attorney Roger Lubovich noted he had reorganized the sequence and incorporated the changes
suggested at the last meeting. Johnson asked the Committeemembers if they had any changes. Orr
responded she did not; Bennett said he had reviewed and only found a minor typo. Johnson asked
if Councilmember Clark had any changes. Clark questioned section 5 part 1; Orr noted that the
section on a quorum is section 26 page 11. Lubovich explained that the Committee Chair would be
allowed control to fill any vacancies. Clark asked if section 11 page 4 was the same as the past.
Lubovich stated the law for the ordinance had been included as well as the RCW governing.
executive sessions. Tim asked if it was necessary to have five committees. Lubovich stated it was
not. Orr noted that a clause allows for a change in committees at the Council's discretion. Clark
- asked if the Committee would accept on page 10 section 5 under Public Work Committee items the
addition of telecommunications. The Committee agreed to the addition. Orr asked if the Committee
was ready to act on the item today. After a discussion of the rules of order, Orr suggested the item
be forwarded to Council under Other Business. Roger noted a minor change needed on the first page

replacing regulations with procedures. Orr moved to recommend the City Council Rules as amended
this afternoon to the full Council at the March 5 meeting. Bennett seconded the motion which
passed 3-0.
Added Items:
1994 Financial Report Award
McFall stated that the City had received an award for the 1994 Annual Financial Report from the
Government Finance Officers Association. Brent noted this is quite an honor with a rigorous review
by the GFOA. He noted that the City has not received this award for the past few years and staff
worked hard to regain this recognition. Brent commended May Miller and the Finance staff for
receiving this award which is a significant accomplishment. He stated that the plaque had not yet
been received but would be presented at Council.
Sister City of Norwav Agreement
McFall asked if the Committee would like to consider this item today. Johnson said they would.
McFall distributed a copy of the memorandum and agreement that had previously been distributed
to Council. Bennett moved to authorize the Mayor signing the agreement. Orr seconded the motion.
Tim Clark noted his concern regarding the financial implications of agreements such as this. Orr
noted that no funds were requested at this time. Clark noted section two of the agreement. McFall
noted that this relationship has a citizens group in place prepared to raise funds and support the
relationship. He explained that Yangzhou did not have this in place at the beginning of the
relationship and that May Miller is working to form a support group for Yangzhou. Clark stated he
did not have a problem with this agreement as long as it is understood there will be no budget
impact. Orr stated that according to the memo there would not be any. McFall stated that he shares
the concern of budget impact and pledged to stay on top of the whole issue with sister cities. The
Committee voted 3-0 to authorize signature of the agreement.
Cable TV Programming
Councilmember Clark asked to add an item on the Cable TV programming. Johnson agreed. Clark
stated that he would like the Committee to adopt a policy on the programming of the City Cable
Channel to set priorities. He noted there is currently no allotted time or weight given to
programming. With the televising of the Council Committee meetings it will better inform the
citizens of how the Council works. With five Committee meetings and the Council meetings there
will be more balance in the programming. He suggested that the Council set percentages by category
such as 50% of monthly programs showing Council work exclusive of Council meetings. 20%
administrative programming and the remainder used for expanding outside programming such as the
teen program that is in the works. Tim noted that the Police Blotter had never been run by the
Council. Should it continue? He stated that his question for the Committee was what their
preference was in developing a policy.
Jim Bennett stated that he agreed that there needed to be more of a balance in programming but that
he wasn't sure that a percentage would allow the development of the channel the best. He gave the
example of the City of Tacoma which has a separate channel for the Fire Department. Jim explained
the need to be careful in minimizing if pertinent information comes up the needs will change. He _

expressed his desire to see 272nd corridor updates and RJC construction updates. Lubovich pointed
out that production costs also need to be considered. Bennett stated his concern that TCI had not
followed through with the production studio. After a discussion of public access, Orr stated that the
Pavilion Dedication would have been nice to see. McFall responded that we have the raw tape of
the dedication but the costs of editing and staff limitations had not allowed a final program. He
noted that if we are going to expand programming it would be necessary to divert resources to
operate a true production company.
McFall stated that he would be willing to work with Councilmember Clark to address the issue to
work together to find a satisfactory allocation of time that is not so rigid. Clark asked if McFall had
any ideas of how it should be allocated. Brent responded that he had not thought of it in those terms
before. During further discussion, Orr noted that she agrees that there is a need to do something but
she was concerned with the percentage idea. She explained that the length of meetings vary and
there is a need to be flexible. Leona added that it was important that the scheduling is regular so that
people know when they can see programs. McFall suggested that one approach would be to include
language that the Council and Committee meetings would be shown prominently in a timely manner.
Tim noted that to be reflective of the community there will always be a need to fluctuate. At the
conclusion of the discussion, Johnson requested that a recommendation be brought back to the next
Operations Committee meeting or the second meeting in March.
Foreign Exchange Agreements
„e Tim Clark asked the Committee to consider a proposed resolution on international trade and foreign
relations programs entered into by the City. Johnson tentatively agreed to put it on the agenda of
the Operations Committee March 6 agenda.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 5:37 p.m.

PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE
FEBRUARY 28, 1996
PRESENT: TIM CLARK TOM BRUBAKER
JUDY WOODS ED WHITE
DON WICKSTROM
ABSENT: CONNIE EPPERLY
Solid Waste Collection Services - Addition
Wickstrom explained that this is an additional collection, a 20 gallon mini -can, and Kent
Disposal wants us to add this to their service. They have had numerous requests for this;
the rate would be $7.90 per month. Wickstrom recommended that we add this as
another option for service to our customers.
Committee unanimously recommended the additional service be implemented.
Downtown Sidewalk Rehab - Phase II Acceptance
Wickstrom stated that this was the project associated with "rehabbing" the 1 st Avenue
sidewalks. He said we had a tree problem and we re -budgeted money to do this project.
He explained that typically, if a project goes over 10%, we bring it back to Committee
prior to taking it to Council for acceptance. He said that this project was over 10% but
already had Council blessing per allocating additional funds so this is really nothing
unknown; this is just a procedure issue.
Committee unanimously recommended that the project be accepted as complete.
GMA Concurrency Ordinance
Wickstrom said Council has adopted the Comprehensive Plan, and in conjunction with
that, we are required to adopt a Concurrency Ordinance.. An earlier draft had included
transportation, sewer, water and drainage. He explained that our work load would not
accommodate adding all those other entities into concurrency at this time; particularly
with the Meridian Annexation we are dealing with Water District 111 and Soos Creek
Sewer and Water District, per those other services thus malting it much more
complicated. We would like to limit the Concurrency Ordinance to transportation �.
which is the issue mandated under the Growth Management Act and then, if there is a
need, we can go back in subsequent years and add the other issues. Wickstrom, said that
what we were proposing under the original Concurrency Ordinance was, malting sure
that our Construction Standards where met, which that requirement is already in place
anyway. He said we would like to build up some history with this before we add the
other issues. Wickstrom recommended having a public hearing set for March 19th to
get input and recommended adopting the Ordinance at that time.
Committee unanimously recommended setting March 19th as the public hearing and if
major issues are not raised, adopt the Concurrency Ordinance.
Discussion: Clark stated that the idea of establishing concurrency is to meet the needs
of the community and adapt to the population as it grows. Clark said that
transportation is the issue that must be dealt with now. He asked if there is any type of
tracking process to determine the current levels of service or what the future needs would
be. Wickstrom said that was all done in conjunction with the Comprehensive Plan.
Under the Management Act, the only issue that is mandatory is transportation, and we
are asking that eve limit Concurrency Management for now to transportation based on
our workload. He said that previously we were looking at water, sewer and storm but
they all have other complicating issues.
Brubaker noted that this concurrency concept is a "new ground" that all the cities are
into. Theoretically, if you can't meet the concurrency requirements, than a development
moratorium could exist. He said it is probably wise to start out with one single issue.
Kent Shuttle Service
Wickstrom said that we are proposing a shuttle service in Kent running an hour between
busses. He said we will need Metro's concurrence on this as we had obtained with the
Jingle Bus service. We cannot compete either with routes that may take service away
from the Metro bus system or charge for service. He said that we need to pass a
Resolution showing Metro that our Council wants this to happen. Wiclstrom said that
there is money for this proposal within the downtown transit budget. To provide this
service, we are essentially using the funds that we have available and not infringe on the
money that we had set aside to match the ISTEA grant shuttle project which will be
implemented following this proposal.
Committee unanimously recommended that Council adopt a Resolution authorizing staff
2
to retain a service provider and enter into a contract to supply shuttle service.
Discussion: Ed White stated that with the Jingle Bus shuttle service, we monitored
different locations thru Para Transit, which was the service provider at that time and we
will have the ability to monitor thru the new service provider. In response to Clark,
White stated that the senior citizens made up approximately 90% of the inquiries for a
shuttle service.
ADDITIONAL ITEM:
Issue of providing sewer service into failed septic system neighborhoods.
Wickstrom stated that with the Meridian Annexation, we have inherited certain specific
neighborhoods that were developed in the early '60s and are experiencing chronic septic
system failure. He noted that the Derbyshire area, (west of 124th Ave, south of 272nd)
is one such neighborhood. Presently, we have a residence therein with a failed septic
system. The property owner has estimated the cost to provide sewer service would be
about $35,000. Wickstrom said that this particular neighborhood has small houses -
about 300 homes with a history of failing septic systems. Wickstrom said that his
proposal is to budget some money each year for sewer extensions within such areas with
reimbursement by the property owner therein of their fair share of the cost upon
connecting to the system. Wickstrom noted by doing so, over time these chronic
problem areas, including the health issues associated therewith would be resolved along
with the City getting reimbursed for the cost.
Wickstrom recommended budgeting such funds on a yearly basis and that the work done
within any one year would be subject to the budget limitations. Wickstrom stated that
right now he wants to use some money in the Miscellaneous Sewer fund to help resolve
this particular property owner's problem. Eventually a Resolution will be prepared for
Council seeking concurrence with this approach.
Committee unanimously concurred with Wickstrom's recommendation of helping the
property owner at this time and recommended such a Resolution be brought before
Council for adoption.
Meeting adjourned: 4:30 p.m.
