SEWER (BIDS - ITEM 5A)
r TD 349 4 F 223rdSewer. The
� •�_
bid opening for this project was held on June 30th
with five bids received. The apparent low bid was
submitted by Laser Underground in the amount of
$284 , 456 . 96 . The Engineer' s estimate was
$269 , 412 . 17 . The Public Works Director recom-
mends that upon his concurrence, the Mayor be
authorized to either award the contract to the
lowest most satisfactory responsible bidder or to
reject all bids .
Public Works Director Wickstrom explained that the
bids received were higher than the estimate and
budget, which would result in potentially signifi-
cantly higher LID assessments . He said that
notices were sent to property owners telling them
what the final assessment could be based on the
bids and asking whether to proceed or not . He
said this resulted in 68% in favor of going ahead,
but that they are waiting until next week to act,
so that figure could change . He noted that even
if authorization is granted tonight, the project
may not happen if four more 'Inc" votes are
received.
BROTHERTON MOVED that upon concurrence by the
Public Works Director, the Mayor be authorized to
either award the LID 349 - S .E . 223rd Street
Sanitary Sewer contract to the lowest most

Epperly seconded and the motion carried.
REGIONAL (OTHER BUSINESS - ITEM 4B)
GOVERNANCE (ADDED BY OPERATIONS DIRECTOR MCFALL)
Regional Gov McFall stated
that the Suburban Cities Association has been
involved in discussions with King County and City
of Seattle officials about the Regional Governance
and Finance process, and explained that this is an
effort to redefine the responsibilities and
financing of government services in King County.
He said that the process has resulted in a pro-
posal dealing with a number of issues for review
and consideration, and the Suburban Cities members
rejected the proposal unanimously. He noted that
he and Mayor White have been on the Suburban
Cities committee to develop a counter-proposal,
and that Suburban Cities requires a response from
all cities no later than August 7 as to whether or
not they will support this as the Suburban Cities
official negotiating position. He emphasized that
it is not ratification.
McFall then explained the differences in the
previous proposal and the proposal before Council
tonight :
An mai Control : Other than minor language
revisions, it would not change .
4
Kent City Council Minutes
July 21, 1998
REGIONAL ZQQ19.: Delete the original proposal entirely;
GOVERNANCE pools would not be transferred to the cities; an
18-month study is proposed.
Woodland Park Zoo: Original proposal is accept-
able with the addition of "non-supplanting"
language .
Servic_es .- Original proposal is
acceptable .
Courts of Lim' *Pd Jurisdiction_ Essentially
acceptable, but since there are issues for cities
in the district court system, SCA' s position is
that this be withdrawn from consideration in this
round of discussions .
potent l nex tion Areas Urbaervices an Slav of
d of pities Suburban Cities '
proposal calls for two levels of service : rural
and transition. The tax revenue generated from
the rural areas is not sufficient to provide even
a basic rural level of service and therefore there
would be some subsidy of that rural area from the
more densely populated urban areas, which is
acceptable to Suburban Cities . The proposal is
that the rural subsidy would be capped in 1998
dollars at $16 , 700 , 000 which is approximately 10%
of the County' s current expense fund.
The proposal for transition areas is to resolve
all outstanding potential annexation area boundary
issues and enter into agreements with respect to
them. An incentive for annexation would be
created of $50 , 000 , 000 per year for ten years in
existing County revenues which would be applied to
the annexation area infrastructure .
The County must live within the revenue stream
generated from those areas but they would only be
required to do so where a city has stated it ' s
commitment to annex that potential annexation area
within ten years .
5
Kent City Council Minutes July 21, 1998
REGIONAL Upon the request of a city, the County would adopt
GOVERNANCE that City' s development standards inside the
potential annexation area, so that any future
development would be done in accordance with the
City' s standards .
Human Se_ - The original proposal called for
a variety of human services which are now being
provided locally to be provided as regional
services, and it called for the transfer of funds
in a fairly complicated formula from the cities to
King County to pay for that . The counter-proposal
calls for a basic package of nine regional human
services, and the county would fund these services
from a combination of its existing funding and Net
Regional Revenues at a local equivalent to current
suburban city efforts . County expenditures would
be tracked and allocated by the subregions . A
two-year transition period would occur, during
which time the city contracts would be transferred
to the county and they would be continued at that
level for the transition period, allowing the
cities to participate in making decisions about
changes through a subregional planning effort .
The original proposal withdrew funds from the
city; the counter-proposal does not take those
funds away, so the Council would have the ability
to continue some additional level of human
services funding beyond what the county is doing.
McFall recommended the proposal to the Council ,
and said it would provide a unified position for
the negotiators . He reiterated that action needs
to be taken soon. He noted for Yingling that the
City of Seattle ' s main concern is funding for the
ZOO . Woods voiced concern about human services
but said she is comfortable with the proposal .
Mayor White said that although he is uncomfortable
with the subsidy of areas outside the urban
growth lines, he will support it . Orr commended
the staff and elected officials who have been
involved, and said McFall did a fine job in
responding to the questionnaire . She said she is

REPORTS Council President. Orr noted that the National
League of Cities meeting will be held in December
and asked that any Councilmember interested in
attending contact Ms . Banister as soon as
possible .
Administrative Reports Mayor White noted that
no new apartment complexes have been built in the
last few years, due to the efforts of Administra-
tion and the support of Council . He explained
that the General Commercial zone permits multiple
family projects to be constructed as a mixed use,
but does not require a commercial element to be
developed as part of the project , and noted that
this is inconsistent with the concept of mixed use
and can result in construction of new stand-alone
apartment complexes . He noted that this is
happening on North Central Avenue, and said he
does not believe this is in keeping with the
policy direction of the Council . He asked the
Council to refer this matter to the Land Use and

Leona Orr noted that a look at the overtime budget prior to the annexations as well
as since the annexations, would be helpful. Leona asked if we are any closer to
getting numbers from the County that talk about their numbers of potential
population growth. Harris stated that we have been working with the County and
have had to adjust our own numbers because of our annexations. Leona stated it
would be helpful to have that information as well. In response to Leona, Harris said
the next annexation would come into the city in sections.
(� 32nd Avenue South Street Vacation
`-Y Wickstrom said we have received a petition to vacate a portion of 32nd Avenue which
is unopened right-of-way and by law, we have to act on that request and Council
needs to set a date for a public hearing by resolution.
Committee unanimously recommended adoption of a resolution setting a hearing
date for the 32nd Avenue South Street Vacation.
Water District #I I I Easement Agreement
Wickstrom explained that this is on the East Hill at 124`' Ave SE in a small
subdivision adjacent to Seven Oaks East, north of Kent I(angley. There is a portion
of a tract which was deeded to us as part of the short plat which services our
detention basin and now the district believes they need an easement to run a
waterline down that tract.
Committee unanimously recommended authorization for the Mayor to sign the
Easement Agreement with Water District #I I 1 situated within the plat of Seven
Oaks Addition.
Added item: LID Covenants
Wickstrom - We have mitigation/LID agreements, which are expiring. In 198S the
legislature passed a law stating that LID agreements and commitments to LID
agreements could only nun for a period of 10 years. Prior to that, we had executed
LID covenants for improvements of property owner frontage, and those covenants
have run in perpetuity essentially. Some of those are still outstanding. We also
have executed agreements regarding participation in the Corridor projects through
SEPA where the property owner can either execute an agreement or do a traffic study
and do all the improvements. Nearly 100% of them have chosen to execute a
mitigation agreement and part of that agreement is the participation in an LID. That
portion lapses since 1983. Right now we have mailed approximately 10 notices
affecting 9 different developments; one has two streets. We are required to notify

PRELIMINARY OFFICIAL STATEMENT
$942,617
CITY OF KENT,WASHINGTON
CONSOLIDATED LOCAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT NO. 347 AND 348 BONDS
INTRODUCTION
The City of Kent, Washington, (the"City"), a municipal corporation duly organized and existing under and by virtue of the
laws of the state of Washington(the "State"), furnishes this Official Statement in connection with the offering of$942,617
aggregate principal amount of City of Kent, Washington, Consolidated Local Improvement District No. 347 and 348 Bonds
(the'Bonds"). This Official Statement provides information concerning the City,CLID No.347 and 348 and the Bonds.
Issuance of the Bonds is pursuant to the Revised Code of Washington, Chapter 35.45, and to Ordinance No.
passed by the City Council on August_, 1998(the"Bond Ordinance").
DESCRIPTION OF THE BONDS
Principal Amount,Date,Interest Rates and Maturities
The Bonds will be issued in the total principal amount of$942,617 and will be dated and bear interest from August 1, 1998,
until their stated maturity or earlier redemption. The Bonds will mature on September 1,2015. Interest on the Bonds will be
paid commencing September 1, 1999,and annually thereafter on each September 1 until maturity or earlier redemption at the
respective rates for the respective bond numbers as set forth on the cover page of this Official Statement. Interest on the
Bonds will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
Forms and Denomination
The Bonds will be issued in fully registered form as to both principal and interest in the denomination of$5,000 each,except
for Bond No. I which will be in the denomination of$7,617.
Early Redemption
The Bonds are subject to redemption prior to their stated maturity on any interest payment date, in whole or in part at par
plus accrued interest, in numerical order, lowest numbers first and will be called if any moneys are available for such
purpose. The schedule of"Estimated Redemption of Bonds" set forth on the cover page of this Official Statement is based
on anticipated payments of assessments from property owners in CLID No. 347 and 348.
The table entitled"Estimated Redemption Schedule"that is set forth on the cover page of this Official Statement sets
forth the City's estimate of when each Bond will be redeemed. The principal amount of Bonds to be redeemed on
each September 1 as shown in such table is only an estimate. This estimate is based on the City's assumption that the
property owners within the City will make the scheduled annual payments due under the Assessment Roil. These
scheduled annual payments include a 10 year level principal assessment roll for LID No. 347 and a 15 year level
principal assessment roll for LID No. 348. In addition, the fact that the interest rate used to calculate Assessment
installments exceeds the interest rate on the Bonds by approximately .50 percent(.50%)will provide some additional
funds for redemption of the Bonds. Various factors that are not within the control of the City can affect the extent to
which Assessments are paid as scheduled, including the general state of the economy, the rate at which properties
subject to the Assessments are improved or sold,and the extent to which the Assessments may be prepaid due to the
sale of assessed properties financed through a bank loan or by financing that requires prepayment of any outstanding
assessments.
There can be no assurance that Bonds will be redeemed in the amounts and at the times shown in the table on the
cover page of this Official Statement. Bonds may be redeemed earlier or later than shown in the table depending on
I
the timing of receipt by the City of Assessment payments, including both scheduled payments and prepayments made
at the property owner's option. The City has no obligation to redeem Bonds in accordance with the schedule shown in
the table. The City's only obligation is to redeem Bonds to the fullest extent possible from Assessment payments it
receives with respect to the properties within the CLID No.347 and 348.
Notice of Redemption
Notice of any such early redemption of the Bonds will be given not less than 15 nor more than 45 days prior to the date fixed
for redemption,by first-class mail,postage prepaid,to the Owners of each Bond to be redeemed at the address appearing on
the Bond Register at the time the Bond Registrar prepares the notice. The requirements of notification will be deemed to be
complied with when notice is mailed as provided by the Bond Ordinance,whether or not it is actually received by the Owner
of any Bond. In addition, such redemption notice shall be mailed within the same period, postage prepaid, to such other
persons, including registered securities depositories, and with such additional information as the City Finance Director shall
deem appropriate,but such mailings shall not be a condition precedent to the redemption of such Bonds.
If such notice t money
the payment of all Bondscalled have been �for redemption,the Bonds so calledven and the City shall have set eshall cease to ccrue, on the date fixed oint rest after such lrednemp ion date
from the money set aside for such purpose.
If any Bond is not paid upon proper presentment at its maturity or earlier redemption, the City shall be obligated to pay
interest at the same rat for such Bond until such Bond,both principal and interest,is paid in full.
Purchase of the Bonds by the City
The City reserves the right and option to purchase any or all of the Bonds in the open market at any time at any price
acceptable to the City plus accrued interest to the date of purchase when the Bonds are available for purchase.
All Bonds so purchased or redeemed shall be canceled.
Registrar,Paying Agent and Transfer Agent
Both principal of and interest on the Bonds are payable in lawful money of the United States of America. Principal of the
Bonds will be paid by the Fiscal Agency of the State (the "Registrar," the "Paying Agent" and the "Transfer Agent")upon
presentation and surrender of the Bonds, at maturity or earlier redemption, at either of the principal corporate trust offices of
the Registrar in Seattle,Washington or New York,New York. Interest on the Bonds will be paid by check or draft mailed by
the Paying Agent on each interest payment date to the persons who are named as the registered owners of the Bonds on the
registration books for the Bonds (the "Bond Register") maintained by the Registrar, at the addresses for such Owners
appearing on the Bond Register on the 15th day of the month preceding such interest payment date. Currently, the Fiscal
Agent of the State is Wells Fargo Bank,National Association, Seattle, Washington and The Bank of New York,New York,

SECURITY AND SOURCE OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS
~ Source of Repayment
The Bonds are special fund limited obligations of the City. The payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds will be
secured by a pledge of, and will be payable from the Bond Fund (defined below), into which will be deposited all of the
outstanding assessments against properties located within the boundaries of CLID No. 347 and 348,together with interest to
be collected from such assessments.
The Bonds are secured by special assessments levied against benefited properties for the improvements made within CLID
No. 347 and 348 and enjoy a lien on the improved and unimproved property superior to mortgage and other encumbrances,
junior only to any lien for general property taxes. These assessments will be on parity with any future assessments levied on
property in CLID No.347 and 348.
In addition to the pledge of assessments,the Bonds will be secured by the Local Improvement District Guaranty Fund of the
City(the"Guaranty Fund"). See discussion below in"Guaranty Fund".
Funds for payment of the Bonds may be derived only from the special assessments levied in CLID No. 347 and 348 and the
Guaranty Fund. Registered Owners' remedies against the City are confined to mandating City officials to perform their
statutory duties in enforcing such special assessments and applying the proceeds thereof and, if necessary and available,
money from the Local Improvement District Guaranty Fund to the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds.
THE BONDS ARE NOT GENERAL OBLIGATIONS OF THE STATE,THE CITY OR ANY OTHER MUNICIPAL CORPORATION,AND NEITHER
THE FULL FAITH AND CREDIT NOR THE TAXING POWER OF THE CITY ARE PLEDGED TO THE PAYMENT OF THE BONDS.
Bond Fund
The City has created its "Consolidated Local Improvement Fund, District No. 347 and 348" (the "Bond Fund") into which
the City will deposit all payments of the principal of and interest on special assessments levied on real property within CLID
No. 347 and 348. Money deposited into the Bond Fund shall be used for the sole purpose of paying the principal of and
interest on the Bonds.
Guaranty Fund
In addition to the pledge of assessments, the Bonds will be guaranteed, to the extent of money available, by the Guaranty
Fund. Under Washington law, cities are required to establish a local improvement district guaranty fund for the purpose of
guaranteeing the payment of principal of and interest on its local improvement district bonds, notes and warrants. The
Guaranty Fund has been established by City ordinance.
If there is insufficient money in the various local improvement district note and bond redemption funds to meet a payment on
obligations, warrants may be drawn against the Guaranty Fund up to five percent of the total amount of obligations at any
time outstanding against the Guaranty Fund(including the Bonds)to meet any payment. Such warrants are to be redeemed
by the proceeds of the following year's tax levy or the collection of delinquent assessments.
For the purpose of maintaining the Guaranty Fund, the City is required to provide for the annual levy of a sum sufficient,
together with other sources of the Guaranty Fund, to pay warrants issued against the Guaranty Fund during the preceding
fiscal year, if any, and to establish a balance therein; provided, that the levy in any one year will not exceed the greater of
either(a) 12 percent of the outstanding obligations guaranteed by the Guaranty Fund, or(b)the total amount of delinquent
assessments and interest thereon before the levy as of September 1. Such tax will be in addition to and, if need be, in excess
of all statutory and charter limitations applicable to tax levies in the City.
The City has in the past transferred money from the Guaranty Fund to its General Fund to the extent the remaining money in
the Guaranty Fund is not less than 10 percent of the outstanding local improvement district bonds secured by the Guaranty
Fund. The City may or may not maintain this amount in the Guaranty Fund while the Bonds are outstanding.
9
The taxes levied for the maintenance of the Guaranty Fund shall be in addition to and, if need be in excess of all statutory
and charter limitations applicable to tax levies in any city or town, as long as the total regular property levy tax does not
exceed $3.375/$1,000 of assessed valuation or that the total regular levy plus the Fireman's Pension Fund levy does not
exceed$3.60/$1,000 of assessed valuation. In 1994,the City was annexed into the King County Library System(the Library
System"),which is a rural county library district existing under the authority of chapter 27.12 RCW. As a result,the City's
regular tax limit of$3.60 per$1,000 assessed valuation is reduced by any regular tax levy made by the Library System to a
maximum authorized regular levy rate of$.50 per$1,000 assessed value. For 1998,the City's regular property tax levy is
$2.97879/$1,000 plus an excess levy of$.36436/$1,000 of assessed valuation which is for voter approved debt service. As
of May 31, 1998, the fund balance in the City's Guaranty Fund was $869,272; outstanding Local Improvement District
bonds,notes and warrants of the City totaled$5,314,556.
ASSESSMENT LIEN AND FORECLOSURE
Payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds is dependent on the ability of the City to levy assessments in CLID No.
347 and 348. The assessments are payable in equal annual installments of principal plus interest. The interest rate
established for the installments is to be %which rate exceeds the effective rate of the Bonds by %of 1% percent.
Property owners may elect to accelerate or pay the full balance of their assessments on any annual payment date. Property
owners who fail to make their annual payment are considered delinquent and are subject to foreclosure and sale of the liened
property to recover unpaid assessments. See"HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION"below.
Under Washington law, the special assessments on the improved and unimproved property within CLID No. 347 and 348
enjoy a lien thereon which is superior to any other lien or encumbrances, except any lien for general property taxes. If
property owners fail to make assessment payments when due,the City can pursue foreclosure and sale of the liened property
for which delinquencies occur,to recover unpaid assessments.
Foreclosure Proceedings
Chapter 35.50 of the Revised Code of Washington ("RCW') provides that if, on the first day of January in any year, two
installments of any local improvement assessment are delinquent, or if the final installment has been delinquent for more
than one year, foreclosure of the delinquent assessment or delinquent installments thereof will proceed in the superior court
of the county in which the district is located. The foreclosure action will be commenced on or before March 1 of the year or
on or before such other date in such year as may be fixed by general ordinance, after 30 days' notice to the owner of the
property charged with the assessments or installments which are delinquent, at the address last known to the treasurer. If a
judgment is taken against the defendant, the property will be sold at public auction. The defendant has the right to prevent
the sale by paying the amount of the judgment at any time prior to the sale. If the property is sold,it may be redeemed by the
defendant or any junior lienholder at any time up to two years after the date of the sale,by paying the amount for which the
property was sold, plus interest and costs of the sale. Any money received by the City as a result of foreclosure action is
deposited in the Bond Fund and used to repay the Bonds.
Assessments in CLID No. 347 and 348 are levied against property, not property owners. Whether an assessment is paid
when due depends on the owner of the property. The City does not have any control over the sale of property in CLID No.
347 and 348. The City does not and cannot make any representations as to the ability of the current or subsequent property
owners in CLID No. 347 and 348 to pay their assessments. The City will pursue any remedies available under the law to
collect assessments against property within CLID No. 347 and 348.
Homestead Exemption
Chapter 6.13 RCW permits any head of a family to protect a certain portion of the homestead(residence) from forced sale.
In City of Algona v. Sharp, et. al., decided January 4, 1982, Division I of the Washington Court of Appeals held that the
filing of a homestead exemption before a scheduled foreclosure sale of a residential property valued at $25,000 or less
effectively exempted that property from a forced sale to enforce delinquent special assessments in a special benefit
assessment district such as a local improvement district or utility local improvement district.
10
Subsequently, pursuant to chapter 442, Laws of 1987, the statutory homestead exemption was raised from $25,000 to
$30,000. The records of the King County Assessor shows that no residential properties located within CLID No. 347 and
348 has a 1998 assessed value of $30,000 or less. However, assessed value do not necessarily represent either the fair
market value or the forced sale price of such property, and those values could change over the life of the assessment roll
installment collection.
FUTURE LID FINANCING
The City has formed LID No. 340 which has a Preliminary Assessment Roll of$21,034,200. LID Bonds are expected to be
issued later in 1998 or early 1999. The City has a number of smaller LID projects in the early phase of development.
LOCAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICTS
Local improvement projects are initiated either by petition of property owners or by resolution of the City Council. Projects
must conform to those local improvements described in RCW 35.43.040. LIDs Nos. 347 and 348 were initiated by
resolutions of the City Council.
The Council sets the boundaries of the area to receive special benefits from the improvement projects;this area is referred to
as a Local Improvement District (LID). If the project is initiated by petition, the petition describes the boundaries. The
Council passes a resolution declaring its intention to initiate the improvement project and orders the preparation of an
engineering report. The engineering report describes the project, estimates the cost and lists the affected properties. It may
also specify the formula for apportioning the costs. The determination of feasibility and benefits are based on this report. In
addition the City may cause a special benefits study to be prepared.
Before the improvement project is approved, a public notice and hearing is required(RCW 35.43.125). Notices are mailed
to the affected property owners as well as published. The notice provides each owner with the proposed project description
and an estimate of benefits and costs.
After the hearing,the Council determines whether the LID should be formed. With respect to an LID initiated by resolution,
if,within thirty days after passage of the ordinance forming the district,property owners representing at least sixty percent of
the proposed assessments protest LID formation, the district becomes ineffectual. Within a period of thirty days following
the 30 day protest period a lawsuit challenging the LID formation may be filed. With respect to an LID formed by petition,
such a lawsuit must be filed within thirty days following the passage of the formation ordinance.
Upon completion of construction, the final costs are determined. Assessments are calculated and levied after a hearing on
the final assessment roll and the adoption of the final roll by City Council. When a property owner receives a notice of
assessment, he or she has the option of making a cash payment in full or making installment payments. This assessment
liability places a lien against the property whereby the property owner is responsible for paying the assessment in
installments as prescribed by Council. There is no pre-payment penalty. Payments may be made without penalty or interest
during a period of thirty days following the assessment.
RCW 35.50.010 states, "The lien shall be paramount and superior to any other lien or encumbrance theretofore or thereafter
created except a lien for general taxes."
CITY POLICY REGARDING DELINQUENT ASSESSMENTS
A penalty of five percent plus interest rate established by ordinance attaches to and becomes a part of all assessments for
local or special improvements or installments thereof immediately upon the same becoming delinquent.
It is City policy to commence foreclosure proceedings on the delinquent LID assessments or installments thereof if two
installments of LID assessments are delinquent. Once any action is brought for the foreclosure of a delinquent LID
assessment, the delinquent balance of the assessment, with interest and penalties, become due and payable. A property
owner with a delinquent LID assessment must then prepay the delinquent balance of the assessment, including interest and
penalties to avoid foreclosure.
11
BONDHOLDERS' RISKS
Prospective purchasers should carefully consider the following risk factors, as well as other information contained in this
Official Statement,prior to purchasing the Bonds:
1. Special Obligations of the City. The Bonds are payable solely from the Bond Fund to be funded from special
assessments levied against real property located within Consolidated Local Improvement District No. 347 and 348
and in certain circumstances from the City's Guaranty Fund. The Bonds are not general obligations of the City of
Kent. No money raised from taxation by the City, other than to the extent deposited in the Guaranty Fund (see
"Guaranty Fund"),will be available to pay principal of or interest on the Bonds.
2. Estimated Redemption Dates. The Bonds are sold on the basis of estimated maturity dates. Principal and interest
due on the Bonds is payable from the Bond Fund funded by assessments levied against real property in CLID No.
347 and 348. Property owners may prepay their assessments in whole,at any time after the assessment is levied,by
payment of the assessment, with interest accrued and to accrue thereon through the next date on which interest on
the Bonds is payable. To the extent that funds are available above and beyond the interest currently due on the
Bonds on any payment date,the City may redeem Bonds in numerical order. The amount of principal which will be
called on any payment date depends upon the amount of payments, prepayments and delinquencies of assessments.
Consequently, there can be no assurance that the Bonds will be called on the estimated redemption dates; they may
be called earlier or later than estimated.
3. Secondary Market. While the Underwriter intends to maintain a secondary market in the Bonds after their
issuance, there can be no assurance that such a secondary market can or will be maintained by the Underwriter or
others, and purchasers of the Bonds should accordingly be prepared to hold their Bonds to maturity or earlier
redemption.
4. Absence of Rating. The Bonds have not been rated by a rating agency and there is no expectation that the Bonds
will be assigned a rating in the future. The absence of a rating may adversely affect the marketability of the Bonds
in the secondary market.
5. Debt Service Payment. Payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds is dependent on the ability of
property owners within CLID No. 347 and 348 to pay special assessments on their property. Makeup of any Bond
Fund shortages caused by non-payment of assessments is dependent upon the City's ability to draw upon the funds
in the Guaranty Fund and/or to collect taxes for the Guaranty Fund in an amount sufficient to cover delinquent
assessments and in pursuing the foreclosure and sale of the property on which delinquencies occur.
6. Property Foreclosure. Proceeds from any required foreclosure and sale of property in CLID No.347 and 348 may
be subject to considerable delay and may not be sufficient to cover assessments and interest.
7. Assessment Lien Priority. Under state law, any future Local Improvement District assessments on the properties
within CLID No. 347 and 348 would have the same priority of lien as the assessments levied in CLID No. 347 and
348.
SEGREGATION OF ASSESSMENTS
Pursuant to RCW 35.44.410,a property owner within CLID No. 347 and 348 may request that any assessment on a parcel of
property within the CLID be divided among lots within that parcel. Such a segregation of assessments is subject to approval
by the City Council and must be based on the formula and any special benefits analysis that was used to determine the
original assessment roll. The property owner requesting a segregation of assessments must pay the costs that the City incurs
in connection with the segregation. The City Council need not approve a segregation if the segregation would jeopardize the
security of the lien for any assessment so as to reduce the security for the outstanding Bonds.
12
PAYMENT OF ASSESSMENTS WHEN PROPERTY IS SUBDIVIDED
When parcels of property within CLID No. 347 and 348 are subdivided,a portion of outstanding assessments may need to be
paid off. RCW 58.08.030 provides that prior to recording a plat with the County Auditor it is necessary to file a certificate
"that all delinquent assessments for which the property affected may be liable at that date and that all special assessments
assessed against said property,which,under the plat filed,become streets,alleys and other public places,have been paid."

Investments
The City has an investment policy adopted by the City Council. The investment policy was awarded the Municipal
Treasurer's Association"Certificate of Excellence" in January 1996 and was commended for achieving fiscal responsibility.
Pursuant to the investment policy, the City's Finance Division Director invests all temporary available cash surpluses,
including amounts in the Bond Fund, in securities issued by the United States government and its agencies, municipal
securities, certificates of deposit and the local government investment pool administered by the Washington State Treasurer
(the "LGIP"). The Finance Division Director invests the City's debt service funds, separately from other funds, in

Insurance Coverage
The City is a charter member of Washington Cities Insurance Authority(the"WCIA")formed by an interlocal agreement on
January 1, 1981 pursuant to Chapters 48.62 and 39.34 of the Revised Code of the State of Washington. The WCIA is an
organization of Washington cities and interlocal agencies now numbering 92. New members initially contract for a three
year term, and thereafter automatically renew on an annual basis. A one year withdrawal notice is required before
membership can be terminated. Termination does not relieve a former member from its unresolved loss history incurred
during membership. WCIA offers a combination of self-insurance and standard insurance to cover liability and property
risks,and provides related risk management services. Liability coverage is completely self-funded, written on an occurrence
basis. The City has opted to self insure up to $100,000 per occurrence, saving significant premium costs. It includes
general,automobile,police professional,public employee errors and omissions, advertising, stop gap, and employee benefits
liability. Limits are $1 million per loss in the primary layer and an additional $3 million per loss, subject to a $12 million
aggregate, in the first excess layer and $10 million per loss, with no annual aggregate except $10 million per member for
public officials' errors and omissions. The second excess layer is reinsured by the insurance industry. Total limits are $14
million per occurrence. Total limits per loss is $7 million. The Board of Directors determines the limits and terms of
coverage annually. As of the December 31, 1996 audited financial statements,the Authority had assets of$50.5 million.
In-house services include risk management consultation, loss control field services, claims investigation company,
consultants for personnel issues and land use problems,insurance brokerage and lobbyist services.
WCIA is fully funded by its members, who make annual assessments on a prospectively rated basis, as determined by an
outside, independent actuary. The assessment covers loss, loss adjustment, and administrative expenses. As outlined in the
interlocal agreement,WCIA retains the right to additionally assess the membership for any funding shortfall. An investment
committee, using investment brokers, produces additional revenue by investment of WCIA's assets in financial instruments
which comply with all State guidelines. These revenues directly offset portions of the membership's annual assessment.
WCIA is governed by a Board of Directors which is comprised of one designated representative from each member. The
16
Board elects an Executive Committee and appoints a Treasurer to provide general policy direction for the organization. The
WCIA Executive Director reports to the Executive Committee and is responsible for conducting the day to day operations of
WCIA.
WCIA is not a joint venture. Members pay an annual assessment to the organization which is analogous to an insurance
premium. From that assessment,claims and expenses are paid. Any unspent assessment dollars from a particular claim year
are used to build reserves against other losses. No equity of member reserves are created. WCIA is a municipal corporation
and audited annually as its own entity by the State Auditors Office.
At December 31, 1997, fund equity was $339,401 in the City's liability fund and $74,705 in the City's property fund. In
1997, the City paid $1,272,762 for its liability claims and insurance coverages and $160,259 for its property claims and
insurance coverage.
Property coverages are provided by individual insurance carriers for all risks including earthquake and flood for buildings,
contents, business income, extra expense,mobile equipment, fine arts and vehicles. Deductibles are $2,500 per occurrence
with the exception of$25,000 per occurrence for vehicles except garaged vehicles is $2,500 per occurrence. The limits of
liability are$15,000,000 per occurrence with $10,000,000 excess coverage with another insurance carrier. The City carries
boiler and machinery coverage up to a maximum of$10,000,000 for any one accident. The City also carries fidelity bond
coverage of$100,000 for its Finance Division Director and$50,000 for its Chief of Police.
The City self insures for its underground storage tanks up to$500,000 per incident to an aggregate of$1,000,000.
Accounting
The accounting and reporting policies of the City conform to generally accepted accounting principles for municipal
governments and are regulated and all books and records audited annually by the Washington State Auditor's Office,
Division of Municipal Corporations.
The City Finance Division Director maintains general supervision over financial transactions of all City funds including
Accounting. The accounts of the City are organized by fund and account group, each of which is considered a separate
accounting entity. Each fund has a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity,
revenues and expenditures or expenses, as appropriate. The City's resources are allocated to, and accounted for in,
individual funds according to the purposes for which they are spent and the means by which spending activities are
controlled. The full accrual basis of accounting is employed for all proprietary funds.
The City received the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for its 1996 Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report.

LEGAL INFORMATION
Litigation
There is no litigation questioning the validity of the Bonds or the power and authority of the City to issue the Bonds.
An appeal from an assessment in LID No. 348 has been filed with the City Clerk in the total amount of approximately
$96,000. This appeal also has been filed with the King County Superior Court. While the City anticipates that the appeal
can be defended successfully,the City has covenanted in the Bond Ordinance that it shall provide from other available City
funds and shall deposit promptly in the Bond Fund the total principal amount by which the assessment may be reduced by
court judgment or settlement,together with interest for one year on such amount at the bond rate.
Approval of Counsel
Legal matters incident to the authorization, issuance and sale of Bonds by the City are subject to the approving legal opinion
of Foster Pepper& Shefelman,PLLC, Seattle, Washington,Bond Counsel. A copy of the opinion of Bond Counsel will be
printed on the Bonds. A form of the opinion is attached as Appendix A. Bond Counsel has reviewed this document only to
confirm that the portions of it describing the Bonds and the authority to issue them conform to the Bonds and the applicable
laws under which they are issued.
Conflicts of Interest
Some or all of the fees of the Underwriter and Bond Counsel are contingent upon the issuance and sale of the Bonds.
Furthermore,Bond Counsel from time to time serves as counsel to the Underwriter with respect to transactions other than the
issuance of the Bonds. None of the council members or other officers of the City have interests in the issuance of the Bonds
that are prohibited by applicable law.
TAX EXEMPTION
Exclusion from Gross Income. In the opinion of Bond Counsel, under existing federal law and assuming compliance by
the City with applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended(the "Code"),that must be satisfied
subsequent to the issue date of the Bonds, interest on the Bonds is excluded from gross income of registered owners for
federal income tax purposes under existing federal law and is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the alternative
minimum tax applicable to individuals. See "Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax," "Corporate Environmental Tax," "Tax
on Certain Passive Investment Income of S Corporations" and"Foreign Branch Profits Tax"below.
Continuing Requirements. The City is required to comply with certain requirements of the Code after the date of issuance
of the Bonds in order to maintain the exclusion of the interest on the Bonds from gross income for federal income tax
purposes, including without limitation, requirements concerning the qualified use of Bond proceeds and the facilities
financed or refinanced with Bond proceeds, limitations on investing gross proceeds of the Bonds in higher yielding
investments in certain circumstances, and the requirement to comply with the arbitrage rebate requirements to the extent
applicable to the Bonds. The City has covenanted in the Bond Ordinance to comply with those requirements,but if the City
fails to comply with those requirements,interest on the Bonds could become taxable retroactive to the date of issuance of the
Bonds. Bond Counsel has not undertaken and does not undertake to monitor the City's compliance with such requirements.
Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax. While interest on the Bonds also is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the
alternative minimum tax applicable to corporations,under Section 55 of the Code, tax-exempt interest, including interest on
the Bonds,received by corporations is taken into account in the computation of adjusted current earnings for purposes of the
alternative minimum tax applicable to corporations(as defined for federal income tax purposes). Under the Code, alternative
minimum taxable income of a corporation will be increased by 75% of the excess of the corporation's adjusted current
earnings(including any tax-exempt interest) over the corporation's alternative minimum taxable income determined without
regard to such increase. A corporation's alternative minimum taxable income,so computed,that is in excess of an exemption
22
of $40,000, which exemption will be reduced (but not below zero) by 25% of the amount by which the corporation's
alternative minimum taxable income exceeds$150,000, is then subject to a 20%minimum tax.
For taxable years beginning after December 31, 1997,the corporate alternative minimum tax is repealed for a small business
corporation that had average gross receipts of less than$5 million for the 3-year period beginning after December 31, 1994,
and such a small business corporation will continue to be exempt from the corporate alternative minimum tax so long as its
average gross receipts do not exceed$7.5 million.
Tax on Certain Passive Investment Income of S Corporations. Under Section 1375 of the Code, certain excess net
passive investment income, including interest on the Bonds, received by an S corporation (a corporation treated as a
partnership for most federal tax purposes)that has Subchapter C earnings and profits at the close of the taxable year may be
subject to federal income taxation at the highest rate applicable to corporations if more than 25%of the gross receipts of such
S corporation is passive investment income.
Foreign Branch Profits Tax. Interest on the Bonds may be subject to the foreign branch profits tax imposed by Section 884
of the Code when the Bonds are owned by,and effectively connected with a trade or business of,a United States branch of a
foreign corporation.
CERTAIN OTHER FEDERAL TAX CONSEQUENCES
Bonds Not"Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations" for Financial Institutions. Section 265 of the Code provides that 100%
of any interest expense incurred by banks and other financial institutions for interest allocable to tax-exempt obligations
acquired after August 7, 1986, will be disallowed as a tax deduction. However, if the tax-exempt obligations are obligations
other than private activity bonds,are issued by a governmental unit that, together with all entities subordinate to it, does not
reasonably anticipate issuing more than $10,000,000 of tax-exempt obligations (other than private activity bonds and other
obligations not required to be included in such calculation) in the current calendar year, and are designated by the
governmental unit as "qualified tax-exempt obligations," only 20% of any interest expense deduction allocable to those
" obligations will be disallowed.
The City is a governmental unit that reasonably anticipates issuing more than $10,000,000 of tax-exempt obligations (other
than private activity bonds and other obligations not required to be included in such calculation)during the current calendar
year and has not designated the Bonds as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" for purposes of the 80% financial institution
interest expense deduction. Therefore, no interest expense of a financial institution allocable to the Bonds is deductible for
federal income tax purposes.
Reduction of Loss Reserve Deductions for Property and Casualty Insurance Companies. Under Section 832 of the
Code, interest on the Bonds received by property and casualty insurance companies will reduce tax deductions for loss
reserves otherwise available to such companies by an amount equal to 15%of tax-exempt interest received during the taxable
year.
Effect on Certain Social Security and Retirement Benefits. Section 86 of the Code requires recipients of certain Social
Security and certain Railroad Retirement benefits to take receipts or accruals of interest on the Bonds into account in
determining gross income.
Other Possible Federal Tax Consequences. Receipt of interest on the Bonds may have other federal tax consequences as
to which prospective purchasers of the Bonds may wish to consult their own tax advisors.
CONTINUING DISCLOSURE
The City is exempt from the ongoing disclosure requirement of Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15c2-12 by
reason of the exemption set forth in subsection (d)(i) of that rule with respect to the issuance of securities in a principal
amount of$1,000,000 or less.
23
RATING
As noted on the cover page of this Official Statement, no application was made to any rating agency for the purpose of
obtaining a rating on the Bonds.
UNDERWRITING
Dain Rauscher Incorporated (the "Underwriter") has agreed, subject to certain conditions, to purchase the Bonds from the
City at a price of %of the par value of the Bonds, less certain expenses plus accrued interest. The Bonds will
be reoffered at an average price of % of the par value of the Bonds, plus accrued interest. The Bonds may be
offered to certain dealers at yields higher than such public offering yields, and such public offering yields may be changed,
from time to time,by the Underwriter. The Underwriter's obligations are subject to certain conditions and it will be obligated
to purchase all Bonds,if any such Bonds are purchased.

We have not been engaged to review, have not reviewed and thus express no opinion
concerning the completeness or accuracy of any official statement, offering circular or other
sales or disclosure material relating to the issuance of the Bonds or otherwise used in connection
with the Bonds.
Under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the City is required
to comply with certain requirements after the date of issuance of the Bonds in order to maintain
the exclusion of the interest on the Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes,
including, without limitation, requirements concerning the qualified use of Bond proceeds and
the facilities financed or refinanced with Bond proceeds, limitations on investing gross proceeds
of the Bonds in higher yielding investments in certain circumstances and the arbitrage rebate
requirement to the extent applicable to the Bonds. The City has covenanted in the Bond
Ordinance to comply with those requirements, but if the City fails to comply with such
requirements, interest on the Bonds could become taxable retroactive to the date of issuance of
the Bonds. We have not undertaken and do not undertake to monitor the City's compliance with
such requirements.
As of the date of initial delivery of the Bonds to the purchaser thereof and full payment
therefor, it is our opinion that:
1. The City is a duly organized and legally existing code city under the laws of the State
of Washington;
2. The Bonds are issued in full compliance with the provisions of the Constitution and
laws of the State of Washington and the ordinances of the City relating thereto;
3. The Bonds constitute valid obligations of the Bond Fund and the Local Improvement
Guaranty Fund of the City, except only to the extent that enforcement of payment may be limited
by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws affecting creditors' rights and by the application of
equitable principles and the exercise of judicial discretion in appropriate cases;
4. The Bonds are not general obligations of the City; and
5. Assuming compliance by the City after the date of issuance of the Bonds with
applicable requirements of the Code, under existing federal law the interest on the Bonds is
excluded from gross income of the registered owners for federal income tax purposes and is not
an item of tax preference for purposes of the alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals;
however, while interest on the Bonds also is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the
alternative minimum tax applicable to corporations, interest on the Bonds received by
corporations is to be taken into account in the computation of adjusted current earnings for

MEMORANDUM
July 4, 1998
TO: Brent McFall, Director of Operations
FROM: Bob Hutchinson, Building Official
SUBJECT: Development Services Overload Strategy
CC: Jim Harris, Planning Director
The City is at a point where the volume of development and construction activity is
overwhelming Development Services Division ("building") staff resources in customer
service, plan review, and especially in building inspections. This memorandum is
intended to convey the details of the situation, propose actions to address the
workload/staff imbalances, and request your approval and support in implementing
these actions.
The Problem: Volume of Work/Staff Levels:
Customer service, while definitely the focus of all DSD staff, is used in this memo to
mean the work of the 3-employee Development Permit Technicians team. They
provide immediate service at our customer counter and via telephones; are the initial
point of contact for almost all of our customers; maintain development records; receive
and process inspection requests; and through permit application intake, routing and
permit issuance, help to coordinate the multi-departmental permit process.
A rough but useful measurement of customer service workload is the raw count of total
numbers of permit applications (all types) received. These have increased from 1871 in
1994 to 2905 in 1997 (projected to be 2930 in 1998) , while staff levels have been
unchanged since the increase from 2 to 3 positions in 1994 (see attached Exhibits A-
1,2,3). While automation has helped us maintain staffing levels with these increases,
the automation planned for the foreseeable future will not provide similar gains in
efficiency. This team is stretched beyond maintainable levels with current workloads.
Plan review, to verify codes compliance of development and construction projects, is
the central function of the permit process. While many simple projects can, and do,
receive code compliance verification at the counter from permit technicians or in the
1
field from building inspectors, a great many are of sufficient complexity to require review
and analysis of the details of the proposal. Numbers of permit applications filed
requiring DSD ("building") plan review have increased from 836 in 1994 to 1216 in
1997. 1998 projection based on 6 months actual data is 1446 such permit applications
(see attached Exhibits B-1,2,3).
Staff dedicated to the plan review function have increased from 2 to only 2.5 full-time
employees (FTEs) during this 5-year period, and have been able to meet workload
demands only by utilizing strategies with limited utility and efficiency. These strategies
included: contracting with an outside vendor for some plan review work (I.C.B.O. in
1995, >$70,000); assigning some plan review work to building inspections staff
(Assistant Building Official/inspector supervisor, 1997,1998); seeking temporary
March 1998 ; and hiring a temporary part-
contract employees (Waldron Resources, ), g p �'
time employee (K.C. Ellis, March — present, 1998); extending target dates for plan
review (March-April, 1998) and authorizing all the overtime employees will work (1998
to date). None of these strategies work well in the long term and collectively they are
not adequate to handle the current and anticipated excess workload, unless
authorization is given to contract work out again and/or hire additional staff.
Building inspections comprise the most extensive customer interactions and arguably
the most important, for this is the activity of verifying code compliance of actual
construction. The raw number of inspections made is a reasonable workload quantifier
and shows increases from 7,609 in 1993 to 19,326 in 1997. During this period,
staff
has
increased from 2.3 FTEs to 5.5 FTEs (see attached Exhibits C-1,2,3). Automation
had only a minimal positive impact on efficiency in this function as a great deal of the
time available is consumed in direct interactions with customers and travel between
construction sites. While planned future automation is expected to improve customer
service capabilities in this area, it can not be expected to reduce staffing needs.
Beyond adding staff, strategies used to date have been limited to authorization of
overtime. This is rapidly becoming less effective, as staff is approaching burnout from
such overtime demands. In addition, the use of the Assistant Building Official/inspector
supervisor to attempt to balance plan review demands has limited his availability to
assist with inspection workloads. Inspection staff levels are not adequate to handle
current or anticipated workloads and can not be expected to continue their current level
of effort.
Problem-Solving Strategy/Solutions:
We are at this crisis stage precisely because we have already exhausted all "easy"
approached to resolving the staff level/workload imbalance. It is obvious that the most
feasible and cost-effective long—term solution to an ongoing workload/ staff imbalance
is to match staff levels to workload, which will be reflected in1999 budget proposals.
However, the immediate need requires a much more immediate response. Some
options and alternatives are as follows:
Option 1 Contract plan review work to ICBO and add $30,000 to 1998 overtime.
This option was implemented early in 1995. After 6 months and approximately $70,000
costs, it was discontinued and a plans examiner position authorized. The effect was to
allow us to meet workloads, but at significant costs in efficiency (in-house plan review is
about twice as cost-effective) and customer service (performance, accessibility, and
responsiveness can be maintained much better with in-house employees).
Cost of this option is estimated at $100,00 in 1998, with ongoing costs in 1999
estimated to equal and perhaps double this amount.
Option 2: Do Nothing
Through May, over 70% of the Division's overtime budget was consumed, and will be
completely spent very soon. Unless augmented, this will require elimination of overtime
as well as elimination of the 1 temporary part-time temporary plans examiner in July.
This would have the immediate impact of lengthening already elongated (by 3 weeks)
permit review times and result in an accumulating backlog of delayed construction
inspections. These impacts would, in turn, slow the City's revenue stream from plan
review fees, permit fees, and sales tax from construction and commercial development,
as well as compromise our efforts to maintain a positive public view of Kent's permit
process. Doing nothing is an unacceptable alternative.
Option 3 Hire one (1) additional permanent full-time Combination Building Inspector
and one(1) additional permanent full-time Plans Examiner as soon as possible.
This proposal would potentially have these positions filled by September 1, 1998. This
would exhaust all overtime resources and extend target dates during recruitment, but
would allow for staff to catch up by the end of the year and maintain service levels (at
projected workloads) in these areas in 1999. Permit technicians would, however,
require assistance from plans examiners and inspectors to maintain service through
1998.
Cost of this option is estimated at $84,000 in 1998, which includes $34,000 in one-time
capital outlay (vehicle, computers, equipment) and ongoing costs in 1999 of$146,000.
Option 4 Hire one (1) additional permanent full-time Combination Building Inspector as
soon as possible and authorize an additional $30 000 in overtime for 1998.
This would allow for increased utilization of the Assistant Building Official in charge of
inspections to do plan review, while maintaining overtime capability to help with all
areas of work. It would not provide adequate staffing to restore service levels, and
would be inadequate to alleviate staff burnout.
Cost of this option is estimated at $80,400 in 1998, which includes $27,000 in one-time
capital outlay (vehicle, computer, equipment) and ongoing costs in 1999 of $98,500
O tion 5. Hire one 1 additional permanent full-time Plans Examiner as soon as
possible and authorize an additional $30 000 in overtime for 1998.
This would allow the Assistant Building Official in charge of inspections to be dedicated
to the inspection function, while maintaining overtime capability to help with all areas of
work. It would not provide adequate inspections staffing to restore service levels, and
would be inadequate to alleviate staff burnout.
Cost of this option is estimated at $63,600 in 1998, which includes $7,000 in one-time
capital outlay (computer, equipment) and ongoing costs in 1999 of $77,500.
Costsirevenue: How to pay for it:
The unanticipated increases in workload bring with them unanticipated increases in
revenue, as building permit and plan review fees are directly related to valuation of
permits. Year-to-date (through May) plan review fees total 69% of the 1998 budgeted
amount (see attached Exhibit D) . If this increased level continues through the
remainder of 1998, actual revenues would exceed budgeted revenues by $286,966 for
plan review fees alone. Conservatively projecting only half of this surplus ($143,483)
provides for 158% of this proposal's cost. No indicators of decline in these levels for
1999 are evident.
In addition, building permit fees are certain to produce a significant surplus over
budgeted and projected revenues in 1998, and barring a totally unanticipated economic
decline, in 1999 as well. Year-to-date revenue through May is 7.7% over budgeted
trendline projections, which would produce a surplus of only $79,705 by year's end
(May 31,1998 "Summary Financial Report"). This projection, however, fails to account
for currently delayed projects, permit fee revenue for which is predicted by the increase
in plan review fees already collected. Preliminary June permit valuation figures (200+
permits; $27,000,000+ valuation) force modification of earlier estimates to herald a
much higher surplus by year's end, estimated at approximately $160,000 over
budgeted projections, and continuing in 1999 (see attached Exhibit E).
Additionally, Council may choose to adopt permit and plan review fee increases
averaging 11% in concert with adoption of the new (1997) editions of the Uniform
Building, Plumbing, and Mechanical Codes. These new code editions are in effect July
1, 1998 by state law; however, local ordinance adoption and a suggested fee resolution
will be presented to council in July. If adopted, such revised fee schedules could be
expected to further increase revenues by approximately $49,000 in 1998 (September
through December) and by approximately $149,000 in 1999, assuming continuation of
current trends.
Collectively, the revenue increases projected above total $352,483 over budget for
1998. Assuming 1999 levels only meet those of 1998, more than adequate additional
revenue will be available to fund this proposal and those included in the 1999 budget
request.
Conclusion/Recommendation:
While a strong effort has been made to handle permit process and inspection
workloads without adding staff for fiscal year 1998, the booming development and
construction levels have exceeded expectations and made this goal unattainable. The
boom has brought with it the means to more than pay for the additional resources
needed to meet the workload.
I am proposing Option #3: immediate authorization of one (1) additional permanent full-
time combination building inspector position one(1) and one(1) additional permanent
full-time Plans Examiner. These steps are the minimum needed to maintain service
response levels until 1999
I need your concurrence and direction to proceed with the steps proposed. As time is
somewhat of the essence, I would appreciate your decision as soon as conveniently
possible. Please advise me if you need further information.
Thank you for your consideration and assistance.

MEMORANDUM
July 8, 1998
TO: JUDY WOODS, CHAIR, AND COUNCIL OPERATIONS COMMITTEE
MEMBERS: SANDY AMODT AND TIM CLARK
FROM: BOB HUTCHINSON, BUILDING OFFICIAL
SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF 1997 EDITIONS OF UNIFORM BUILDING CODE; UNIFORM
MECHANICAL CODE; UNIFORM PLUMBING CODE AND RELATED FEE
SCHEDULES
In accordance with state law (RCW 19.27; Title 51 WAC), Kent and other Washington cities and
counties began enforcement of the 1997 editions of the Uniform Building Code, Uniform
Mechanical Code, and the Uniform Plumbing Code (with statewide amendments, including
updated editions of the Washington State Energy Code and the Washington State Ventilation
and Indoor Air Quality Code) on July 1, 1998. The codes superseded the previous editions
applicable to permit applications filed on or after July 1. The attached proposed ordinance is
primarily a "housekeeping" measure to officially repeal the obsolete editions and adopt these
new editions as part of the Kent City Code.
Another portion of the proposed ordinance alters the appeal process by directing appeals to the
Hearing Examiner rather than to a Board of Appeals. While this change is expected to have a
very limited impact (no appeals have been filed in over 5 years), it will create procedural
consistency with appeals regarding Fire and Zoning Codes.
The new editions of the Uniform Building and Mechanical Codes contain updated schedules of
fees for permits and plan review, recommended for adoption in the form of a proposed
resolution. The schedules increase fees approximately 11%, which approximately equals the
increase in the Consumer Price Index since fees were last increased in June, 1995. Adoption
of these updated fee schedules is expected to increase revenues by approximately $49,000
during the remainder of 1998 and by approximately $149,000 in 1999.
Staff recommendation is that the Operations Committee recommend approval of the proposed
ordinance to adopt the 1997 editions of the Uniform Building Code, Uniform Mechanical Code
and Uniform Plumbing Code; and recommend approval of the proposed resolution to adopt the
fee schedules in these code editions.

ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE of the City Council of the City
of Kent, Washington, amending Title 14 of the Kent City
Code by repealing Chapters 14.01 through 14.07 relating to
various uniform building and state codes and enacting a new
chapter, Chapter 14.01, adopting the 1997 editions of the
Uniform Building Code,the Uniform Mechanical Code.the
Uniform Plumbing Code, the Uniform Housing Code, the
Uniform Code for the Abatement of Dangerous Buildings;
and further adopting the most recent editions of the
Washington State Energy Code, and the Washington State
Ventilation and Indoor Air Quality Code; and further
amending chapter 14.08 to define penalties relating to
enforcement of building codes.
WHEREAS, as set forth in Title 14 of the Kent City Code, the City
adopted various Washington state and uniform building codes; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to adopt the most recent editions
of these codes and consolidate the same into one chapter; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to RCW 19.27, the 1997 edition of the Uniform
Building, the Uniform Mechanical, and the Uniform Plumbing Codes as adopted by the
State applies to all cities, including the City of Kent, effective July 1, 1998, therefore, it
is appropriate to amend the City Code to formerly adopt the same.NOW, THEREFORE,

1. The subdivider shall implement all mitigation measures required by the Determination of
Nonsignificance for SEPA checklist #ENV-96-64 for the Fox Ridge Addition I
Subdivision.
B. PRIOR TO RECORDATION OF THE FOX RIDGE ADDITION 41 SUBDIVISION:
1. The subdivider shall dedicate sufficient right-of-way, across the entire property frontage,
for the construction of SE 268th Street to City Standards. This deed of right-of-way
shall be provided based upon a survey to be performed by a licensed land surveyor of the
subject property, SE 268th Street, and adjacent affected properties, and shall clearly -
delineate the existing public right-of-way, property lines, curb lines, paving limits, and
other public and private improvements. This right-of-way dedication shall include
sufficient property to construct 35-foot radius curb returns tangent to the new curb lines
on SE 268th Street and the plat street.
2. The owner/subdivider shall dedicate sufficient right-of-way to construct the plat street to
Citv Standards for a Residential Street. with a minimum right-of-way of 49-feet,
including a minimum 51.5 foot radius in the turnaround (at property line, 45 feet at curb
line) in the turnaround.
3. The developer shall grant 26-foot wide common access tracts to provide access to the
following lots or provide joint-use driveways or other method of obtaining a safe
separation distance between access points to lots to help reduce the potential for
pedestrian/vehicle encounters:
a. Access Tract 1: Lots 3 through 6
b. Access Tract 2: Lots 7 through 10
4. The owner/subdivider shall provide engineering drawings for review and approval by the
City, and either construct or bond for the following:

. Conditions
a. A gravity sanitary sewer system to serve all lots. The septic system, if any,
serving the existing home within the proposed plat shall be abandoned in
accordance with King County Health Department Regulations.
b. A water system meeting domestic and fire flow requirements for all lots.
C. A stormwater drainage system meeting the requirements of the Kent Construction
Standards for release, detention, water quality treatment, and 100-year, 24-hour
conveyance, etc. The maximum release criteria to be met for this project shall be
that for Soos Creek Basin Plan. The minimum detention volume will be that
volume required for the 100-year, 24-hour design storm released at a rate no
higher than 70 percent of the redeveloped 2-year, 24-hour design storm (the
release criteria established in the Soos Creek Basin Plan for discharge to Soosette
Creek). The predevelopment condition for this development shall be assumed to
be forest unless otherwise determined by the Public Works Director.
d. Roof Downspout Infiltration Trenches for each house and garage. The approved
stormwater drainage plans will include a detail for the Roof Downspout

CONSTRUCTED ON LOTS OF THIS SUBDIVISION MUST PROVIDE
ROOF DOWNSPOUT INFILTRATION TRENCH SYSTEMS PER DETAILS
SHOWN ON THE APPROVED STORMWATER PLANS.
e. The required downstream analysis for this development will include an analysis
for capacity, erosion potential, and water quality from the point of discharge from
the site downstream a distance of at least one quarter mile, or to the point where
stormwater discharges to the City of Kent stormwater drainage system, whichever
is further. The owner/subdivider shall identify all reaches which do not have
the capacity to carry the 100-year, 24-hour peak design flow rate. Should
downstream capacity be insufficient to convey the 25-year, 24-hour peak flow
rate, the Applicant shall either provide necessary off-site improvements (and
easements where necessary), OR further detain/retain stormwater and restrict
the release rate of stormwater to ensure that the capacity of the existing
conveyance system will not be exceeded. Similarly, should an erosion problem
be exacerbated by the proposed release conditions, then the owner/ subdivider
will have to further restrict the release of stormwater from this development.

the developer to submit a detailed tree plan, subject to Planning Department approval, with
the intent to save those trees outside the area needed for road, utility, and house construction
and which do not pose a threat to people or property. Exhibit 1, page 3.
4. Upper Garrison Creek, a major creek of the City of Kent, is located along the western side
of the property. Upper Garrison Creek has documented erosion and sedimentation problems.
Exhibit 1, page 4. A steep bank exists on the site. The Planning Director determined the
bank to be a ravine associated with Garrison Greek. The top of the ravine shown on the
topographic map prepared by Norman E. Larson does not appear to meet with the definition
contained within Section 15.02.337 of the Kent Zoning Code. The top of the ravine would
have to be determined based on a field topographic survey by licensed land surveyor in the
State of Washington. Exhibit 1, page 4.
5. The City's wetlands inventory identified a wetland at the southwestern comer of the site.
The City's Water Quality Engineer reviewed a wetland evaluation submitted by Terra
Associates and determined that no wetlands exist onsite. Exhibit 1, page 4.
6. Access to site would be from 96`h Avenue South, classified as a Residential Collector Street.
which currently has substandard improvements. The current average daily traffic (ADT)
along 96`h Avenue South is approximately 3000 vehicles. The proposed subdivision will add
an estimated 162 daily and 17 PM peak hour trips. The City reviewed the impacts the
proposal might have on regional and local transportation systems and determined that
mitigation would be required. Exhibit 1, page 4-5.
7. The City of Kent would provide water. An existing 8-inch water main is available to serve
the property. The City of Kent would provide sanitary sewer service. An existing 8-inch
sanitary sewer is available to serve the property. Exhibit 1, page .i.
8. The development would discharge into Upper Garrison Creek, which has erosion and
sedimentation problems. A stormwater system, designed to City of Kent construction
standards, would be required. The Public Works Department has reviewed a preliminary
plan submitted by the applicant and concluded that it appears to be satisfactory. An
approved detailed drainage plan would be required prior to recording the subdivision.
Exhibit 1,page 5. The applicant proposed to locate a storm drainage pond within the 75-foot
setback area from the top of the ravine. The Department of Public Works reviewed that
proposal and recommended approval of the proposed pond location, provided there`is a
minimum 30-foot setback from the top of the ravine. Exhibit 1,page 6. The City Planning
Director determined that the detention pond is not subject to the setback for impervious
surfaces and that no variance would be required. Exhibit 1, page 13.
Hearing Examiner Findings and Recommendation

#SU-97-13 & #V-98-4
9. Turnkey Park, a neighborhood park, is located in the vicinity of the proposed subdivision.
The City Parks Department concluded that the application will impact existing park and
recreation facilities. Thus, as a condition of approval, the applicant would be required to
dedicate five percent of the total property being developed as open space or pay a fee in lieu
of dedication pursuant to KCC Section 12.04.490. Exhibit 1, page 6.
10. The subject property lies within the Kent School District and would impact the district.
School mitigation fees are assessed at the time of issuance of a Construction Permit.
Exhibit 1, page 6.
11. The City Planning Department reviewed the application and determined that the proposed
plat would be in conformance with all regulations of the subdivision code. Exhibit 1,
page 12. No one presented any evidence to the contrary at the open record hearing on this
application. The applicant testified in support of all conditions recommended by the City.
Testimony of'Mr. Potter.
12. The applicant would have been able to develop 22 lots if no sensitive areas existed on the
site. The existence of the sensitive areas has decreased this number to 17 feet. The two lots
that the variance is requested for are encumbered by the ravine setback area as well as sewer
and water easements. The applicant submitted a reliable geotechnical report that revealed
no indications of slope instability such that would threaten other properties in the area. The
applicant has also agreed to execute a"hold harmless" agreement so that the City would have
no liability for any damage to properties that might result from a reduced setback. Testimony
ofMr. Potter; Exhibit 1, page 14.
13. The applicant submitted a geotechnical report. The Department of Public Works reviewed
the report and met with the applicant. The Department concluded that the variance would
be acceptable and would not be materially detrimental to public welfare nor injurious to the
property in the vicinity. Exhibit 1, page 15.
14. A Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance (MDNS) was issued on April 10, 1998
(4ENV-98-18) and revised on May 28, 1998. The MDNS detailed 20 conditions. Exhibit 1,
page 3. No one appealed the MDNS.
15. Notice of the public hearing was mailed to landowners located within 300 feet of site.and
posted on site. Exhibit 1, Affidavit of Notice. No testimony in opposition to the proposal was
submitted.

CONCLUSIONS
Jurisdiction
The Hearings Examiner has jurisdiction to hold a public hearing on this application; to consider all
evidence presented at the public hearing; and, based on that evidence, to present a recommendation
to the City Council to approve, disapprove or approve with conditions the preliminary plat
application. KCC 12.04.360, KCC 2.32.090.
Criteria for Review of Preliminary Plat Application
The decision of the Hearings Examiner must be supported by the evidence presented, and must be
consistent with the standards and criteria for review specified in state statutes and city ordinances.
The standards and criteria for review of preliminary plat applications are found in Chapter 12.04 of
the Kent City Code (KCC) and Chapter 58.17 of the Revised Code of Washington(RCW). These
review criteria include:
(a) KCC 12.04.020 which provides that the purpose of the city's subdivision regulations is to:
Provide rules, regulations, requirements, and standards for subdividing land in the
City of Kent, ensuring that the highest feasible quality in subdivision will be attained;
that the public health, safety, general welfare, and aesthetics of the City of Kent shall
be promoted and protected, that orderly growth, development, and the conservation,
protection and proper use of land shall be ensured; that proper provisions for all
public facilities (including circulation, utilities, and services) shall be made; that
maximum advantage of site characteristics shall be taken into consideration; and that
conformance with provisions set forth in the City of Kent Zoning Code and Kent
Comprehensive Plans shall be ensured.
KCC 12.04.330 which specifies eight requirements that must be shown on the preliminary plat map
including appropriate name and dates, proposed platted property lines, contours and elevations,
proposed public service areas, square footage calculations for developed and open space, dimensions
of each lot, statements of soil type and drainage conditions, a description of existing land cover, and
a description of wildlife present.
KCC 12.04370 which requires a written statement from the Seattle-King County Health Department
as to the general adequacy of the proposed means of sewage disposal and water supply.

#SU-97-13 & 4V-98-4
KCC 12.04.430 which provides for the protection of valuable, irreplaceable environmental amenities
so that urban development may be as compatible as possible with the ecological balance of the area
including preservation of drainage patterns,protection of ground water supply, prevention of erosion
and preservation of trees and natural vegetation;.
KCC 12.04.440 which specifies requirements for utilities including sanitary sewers, a proper
drainage plan and a proper water distribution system.
KCC 12.04.450 which requires due consideration to the allocation of public service usage areas and
due regard for all natural features including large trees, water courses, historical spots and other
community assets that would add attractiveness and value to the property.
KCC 12.04.490 which provides for mitigation of any adverse effects of development upon the
existing park and recreational facilities in the City of Kent.
RCW 58.17.110 which requires an inquiry into the public use and interest proposed to be served by
the subdivision and a determination "that appropriate provisions are made for public health, safety
and general welfare and for such open spaces, drainage ways, streets or roads, alleys, or other public
ways, transit stops, potable water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks and recreation, playgrounds,
schools and school grounds and all other relevant facts, including sidewalks and other planning
features that assure safe walking conditions for students who only walk to and from school.
Criteria for Review of Variance Application
In order to approve an application for a variance from the terms of the zoning code, the Hearing
Examiner must determine that:
1. The variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitation upon
uses of other properties in the vicinity and zone in which the property is located;
2. That the variance is necessary, because of special circumstances relating to size, shape,
topography, location, or surroundings of the subject property, to provide it with use rights and
privileges permitted to other properties in the vicinity and zone in which the property is located;
3. The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious
to the property or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which the property is located.

MEMORANDUM
Date: July 16, 1998
To: Operations Committee
From: Brent McFall, Director of Operations
Subject: 1/4 % Real Estate Excise Tax - Ordinance
The City of Kent has authority to levy a second '/4 % Real Estate Excise Tax
(REET) on the sale of property in the city. Levy of this tax would result in a 1/2 %
total city REET. The REET can only be used for capital projects as specified in
state law. It is anticipated that use of the second '/4 % REET in Kent would be
used for parks development projects. Adoption of the REEL'would provide a
long-term source of funds for parks development, and would free up other funds
in the city's capital budget for other needed projects.
Staff recommendation:
Staff recommends the adoption of the second '/4 % Real Estate Excise tax to
fund parks development projects.
Recommended Motion:
I move that the Operations Committee recommend to the Council accption cf the
ordinance implementing the second '/4 % Real Estate Excise Tax as provided by
state law.
Operations Committee REF I memo 1
Date : May 4 , 1993-UPDATED March 6 , 1998
To : May Miller, Finance Director
From: Jim Huntington CPA, Field Auditor
Subject : Additional 1/4 percent real estate excise tax.
During the 1992 legislative session substantial amendments were
made to the Revised Code of Washington making available to certain
cities planning under the Growth Management Act an additional 1/4
of one percent real estate excise tax. This tax is enacted by a
simple majority vote of the council . This tax must be used solely
for financing capital projects specified in a capital facilities
plan element of a comprehensive plan. In addition, these mcn_es
may be used for debt service for qualifying facilities listed
below.
The monies collected can be used for planning, acquisition,
construction, reconstruction, repair, replacement, rehabilitation
or improvement of streets, roads, highways, sidewalks, street and
road lighting systems, traffic signals, bridges, domestic water
systems, storm and sanitary sewer systems, and planning,
construction, reconstruction, repair, rehabilitation, or
improvement of parks (1) .
In 1997 $1, 158 , 600 was collected from the 1/4 of one percent real
estate excise tax currently authorized. An additional 1/4 of one
percent could add an additional $1, 158 , 600 per year. An economic
downturn or higher interest rates could reduce the annual amount .
Following is the status of local cities regarding adding the
additional 1/4 percent real estate excise tax:

(3) Passed in 1993 then repealed. Reenacted in 1998 to be used
for 1st Avenue improvements as matching money for State Funds .
CITY OF KENT
PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT
CAPITAL PROGRAM
CITY OF
KEN T
PARKS &
RECREATION
Background:
The Kent Parks and Recreation Department began operation in 1957. Cver the years
the Parks and Recreation Deparrment has developed into one of the top agencies in
the northwest. The department has been recognized and rewarded locally and
nationally for many of its outstanding facilities. In 1988, the Parks and Recreation
Department was awarded the National Gold Medal Award by the National Recreation
and Parks Association and the Sports Foundation Inc. This award is the highest award
given in the nation for excellence in parks and recreation services.
i ne faciiities arew out of many years of support by elected officials, staff and citizens
wcrkina tccether. i ne Kent parks system is aging. This was reccanized in 1994 and a
maicr effor has taken place to renovate the park system. At the same time, new parks
and traiis have been buiit. Land has been acquired for fLture parks in areas of Kent
that did not have faciiities, especially in areas recently annexed by the City.
Many funding sources were used to accomplish the projects over the past four years.
In addition to the city's Capital Improvement Fund, other funding sources included
county, state and federal grants. In addition, in kind resources were acquired using
servics clubs and citizens through the City's Adapt-A-Park program (see Exhibit 5).
By the end of 1998, over fifty (50) projects will have been completed, or are in the final
construction design phase. A listing of these projects and their funding sources is in
Exhibit 1.
WHA i S AHEAD
As a result of annexations, acquisitions, and community master planning, staff has
Identified a number of capital projects for development. The differenc. be^Neen these
preiecm and many of the prciec:s ccmpieted over the past four years is that many of
these are new construction. 1 ne expenses an these prciects are greater due to
ccmciete infrastructure building, equipment, and required, street improvements. Staff
has prepared a [is-Lino of these projects and potential funding sources. i nese prcjec s
are note In '�Y.hibit 2. Cne passible funding scura:a to aamcieT.e these projects Is ti IC
City Capital Improvement Program. Exhibit 3 identifies the funcz that are avaiiable
tc
the Parks Cecariment threuch the Capital Faciiities Program. A.pproximateiv S250,000
to S300,000 per year must be set aside in the Capital Improvement Program for park
repairs, consultant fees, life dole replacements, and the last of the playground
repiac.aments.
With the Capital improvement Program and possible outside sources, there still is a
shortfall in the ability to fund these projects in a timely manner to meet public demand
and maintain and acceptable level of service. Stag is proposing three options for
funding. They inc!ude:
1 . Voted Bend: This would involve a vote of the citizens to levy an additional property
tax to pay for these improvements. It would require a 60% approval rate. If this
were to happen the most likely dates would be September or November of 1998.
Information on the cast of the bond on a homeowner is shown in Exhibit 4.
2. Real Estate Excise Tax: In 1992 the legislature made amendments to the Revised
Code of Washington, making available an additional 'A of one percent real estate
excise tax. i ne funds are to be used solely for financing capital projects. The funds
can be used for construction of roads, side walks, bridges, and parks. This tax can
be enacted by a simple majority vote by Council. Exhibit 5 provides more
information on this tax, what other cities in our area are using it, and 'new much it
would provide for capital projects or maintain an acceptable level of seriice.
3. E�-tend Prciect meline: This option assumes no new funding sources. 1 ne ability
to plan, design, and construct would be postponed for many years. As a resuit of
deiayina these projects, it is not known what the impact might be an other capital
projects riot identmed that would arise in the future.
TIMELINE FOR DECISIONS:
In order to conduct a Bond Issue in September, Council would have to authorize a vote
by the end of July. A tremendous amount of work needs to be done gathering
community support prior to a July decision. Staff would recommend that a
professionally managed votehs poll be done prior to a decision on a bond issue. Star
will explain this further to the Council in the scheduled workshop on May 5.
If a bond issue is not recommended, either of the other actions could be worked with in
the 1999 budget process.
CONCLUSION:
With the support of past and current elected officials the City has developed a StiCrc
Parks and recreation systeT. T his has enabled Kent '`0 maintain a high cuality of !ife
and attract business. i ne Narks system has been culit tc enable Kent :c maintain a
shall town feeling with strong neighborhood focal points. The projects Outlined in this
report allow the City to continue to maintain a high quality of life as it grows. Staff is
prepared to discuss the issues relating to this capital plan at the May 5, Council
Committee of the Whole Workshop.

Annexation Policy & Strate�v
Referring to a city map, Harris explained the boundaries of the annexations within
the City noting the areas in Icing County that are potential city annexation areas.
Harris explained that the one potential annexation area which is important to the city
is approximately 3.5 sq. miles with a population of about 20,000. This would be the
last bid annexation for Kent. Hams stated that we have 13 policy statements that
Council adopted in April of 1998; prior to our annexing Del Mar or Meridian Valley
County Club. The question for the Council would be, do you feel that these policies
are current enough to handle what's left in the city; where and how should we modify
them. Harris stated that at the next Committee meeting he would like to present a
proposal of potential changes to these policy statements. He noted that Rico
Yingling had submitted some questions to the staff. Upon Rico's concurrence,
Harris read the questions and answers to the Committee, which were included in
their packets.
Hams suggested that this issue be brought back to the first meeting in September
with the idea of taking action on this. He said we have had two "informational"
meetings on this.
Leona Orr suggested that it may be helpful to meet with the Finance Dept and other
appropriate departments to get a report from them as to how we are doing with our
level of service within these annexations; what impacts did the last two annexations
have. She noted that before we push to annex another area with an approximate
population of as much as 20,000 people, we have a clear understanding of exactly
where we stand, based on the annexations we have just completed; also, the need for
new employees, and look at the revenue potential for that area. Harris said we might
have some additional information at the second Committee meeting in August.
Leona Orr noted that a look at the overtime budget prior to the annexations as well
as since the annexations, would be helpful. Leona asked if we are any closer to
getting numbers from the County that talk about their numbers of potential
population growth. Harris stated that we have been working with the County and
have had to adjust our own numbers because of our annexations. Leona stated it
would be helpful to have that information as well. In response to Leona, Harris said
the next annexation would come into the city in sections.
32"d Avenue South Street Vacation
Wickstrom said we have received a petition to vacate a portion of 32"d Avenue which
is unopened right-of-way and by late, we have to act on that request and Council
needs to set a date for a public hearing by resolution.
Committee unanimously recommended adoption of a resolution setting a hearing
date for the 32"a Avenue South Street Vacation.
Water District #111 Easement Agreement
Wickstrom explained that this is on the East Hill at 124'Ave SE in a small
subdivision adjacent to Seven Oaks East, north of Kent I<angley. There is a portion
of a tract which was deeded to us as part of the short plat which services our
detention basin and now the district believes thev need an easement to run a
waterline down that tract.
Committee unanimously recommended authorization for the Mayor to sign the
Easement Agreement with Water District #I I I situated within the plat of Seven
Oaks Addition.
Added item: LID Covenants
Wickstrom - We have mitigation/LID agreements, which are expiring. In 1988 the
legislature passed a law stating that LID agreements and commitments to LID
agreements could only run for a period of 10 years. Prior to that, we had executed
LID covenants for improvements of property owner frontage, and those covenants
have run in perpetuity essentially. Some of those are still outstanding. We also
have executed agreements regarding participation in the Corridor projects through
SEPA where the property owner can either execute an agreement or do a traffic study
and do all the improvements. Nearly 100% of them have chosen to execute a
mitigation agreement and part of that agreement is the participation in an LID. That
portion lapses since 1988. Right now we have mailed approximately 10 notices
affecting 9 different developments; one has two streets. We are required to notify
them that the time period is up; in case of an LID covenant they now have to
improve the frontage they were hoping would be done by an LID. Where we have
mitigation agreements, their 10 years are up and now they have to pay that cash plus
inflation since the 1986 dollar. These 10 different developments which we sent
notices to are due the end of August. In August we will send out another group
which will be two months in advance of their due date.
Wickstrom stated he wanted to advise Council since they'Arill probably be getting
phone calls on this issue. He said we are obligated to carry through with them
because we need to be able to show a track record that when we executed these
agreements we expected them to be followed through. Wiclstrom gave a couple of
scenarios to Rico Yingling for a clearer understanding of the process.
Meeting adjourned: 4:10 p.m.
