MEMORANDUM
September 1, 1998
TO: MAYOR JIM WHITE AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: CAROLYN SUNDVALL, HUMAN SERVICES PLANNER
SUBJECT: 1999 PROPOSED COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) PROGRAM
Attached is the proposed 1999 Community Development Block Grant(CDBG)Program for the City of Kent.The total
proposed program is estimated at$659,356. This includes $18,989 of recaptured dollars from the 1998 Easter Seal
Program,which needs to be canceled due to Easter Seals being unable to complete the project. The 1999 Program is
a 25.8 percent($135,390) increase from our 1998 CDBG funding level of$523,966. The increase is a result of revised
1999 estimates in addition to recaptured funds and program income.
A description of each program requesting Kenfs CDBG funds and the rationale for the recommended funding is
attached for your review. The Human Services Commission reviewed the CDBG human(public)service applications.
The attached proposal includes the Commission's funding recommendations for those human services programs. As
in past years, a major portion of the CDBG funds are recommended to support the City's Home Repair Program. This
program continues to serve many low-income,disabled and senior homeowners in Kent by providing needed repairs.
The program also guarantees that some of Kent's low and moderate income housing stock is maintained and preserved.
Kent's CDBG entitlement figure of$659,356 for 1999 is an estimate. The amount of money we receive could change
depending upon the final federal appropriations bill Congress passes in the fall. Therefore,the recommended funding
includes a contingency plan to address any potential entitlement changes that may occur when Congress adopts the
1999 budget. Kent's adopted 1999 CDBG Program must include such a contingency plan and be forwarded to King
County by September 30, 1998.
On August 17, 1998, the Public Works/Planning Committee approved the attached proposed 1999 CDBG Program
and its Contingency Plan.
Recommended Action
1. Cancel the 1998 Easter Seal Program and reallocate the $18,989 to the total 1999 pass-though allocation.
2. Approve the proposed 1999 Community Development Block Grant(CDBG)Program, including its
contingency plan.

PROPOSED CITY OF KENT
1999 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM
STAFF ANALYSIS
CAPITAL PROJECTS
1. CITY OF KENT HOME REPAIR PROGRAM
Amount Requested: $258,155
Program Summary:
The City's Home Repair Program provides major rehabilitation minor repairs, and house painting
services to income eligible owner-occupied housing located within the City of Kent. The
proposed 1999 program includes a summer painting program and two temporary painter positions.
The CDBG funds will pay the salaries of our home repair staff(who do the actual minor repairs
and administration of the program), a temporary summer painting crew, supplies for minor repairs,
vehicle rental, contractor fees for major repairs, and miscellaneous administrative fees.
Local and Consortium Policies and Priorities:
The proposed project complies with all local and consortium policies.
Staff Funding Recommendation: $258,144
Rationale:
The City should continue its commitment to the Home Repair Program, which has operated in the
City since 1975 when the Federal CDBG program began. The program serves 100% low and
moderate income Kent residents. Many of the clients are seniors or disabled persons; the program
helps these people remain in their homes and helps to maintain and preserve Kent's housing stock.
2. CITY OF KENT'S PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT
Turnkey Park Handicapped Accessibility Rehabilitation, Phase II
Amount Requested: $41,000
Project Summary:
The proposed funding would be used to replace existing decayed play equipment with a new safe
handicapped accessible play structure. The new play structure will specifically have a handicap
transfer platform attachment that will provide access to the structure. The surface material will be
fibar instead of the existing pea gravel to allow for handicapped accessibility. The park is adjacent
to a low income housing complex, thereby offering free, unorganized recreational opportunities to
low and moderate income people.
Local and Consortium Policies and Priorities:
The proposed project complies with all local and consortium policies.
Staff Funding Recommendation: $41,000
Rationale:
This project will provide accessibility for the non-ambulatory population. The project will
enhance recreational opportunities in a low and moderate income neighborhood. Turnkey Park is
adjacent to Valli Kee Housing, an East Hill low income housing complex. This funding provides
- for play area improvements badly needed at the site. In addition, the park would be accessible to
physically challenged children, allowing them to enjoy playground activities.
1
3. CITY OF KENT PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT
Kiwanis Tot Lot# 1
Amount Requested: $11,000
Program Summary:
This existing park will be rehabilitated to provide a handicap accessible entrance and basketball
court. The muddy gate area would be improved with a concrete walkway from the street to the
sidewalk. A new pad would be installed to make the basketball court handicapped accessible.
Local and Consortium Policies and Priorities:
The proposed project complies with all local and consortium policies.
Staff Funding Recommendation: $119000
Rationale:
It is important that the Parks in Kent meet ADA requirements. Funding this project will provide
handicapped access to the entrance and basketball court. The park is located in a predominately low-
income neighborhood.
4. CATHOLIC COMMUNITY SERVICES
Community Facility Renovation
Amount Requested: $60,000
Program Summary:
The proposed funding would renovate the current lobby space into a large lobby area equipped with
a play area for children and a waiting area. Three new offices will also be added. One office will be
used for storage of client files and the other two offices will be for family and children's support ...
services.
Local and Consortium Policies and Priorities:
The proposed project complies with all local and consortium policies.
Staff Funding Recommendation: $30,000 This project may receive an increase or decrease in
funds. Refer to the Capital Contingency Plan for details.
Rationale
The agency serves Kent residents by providing emergency assistance, shelter, and counseling
programs. The current lobby and children's area is cramped with space for only 12 clients.
Renovation to increase the size of the current lobby and adding a children's waiting area will
accommodate the increased population that the agency is experiencing and provide a safe place for
children to play while their parents are seeking assistance.
5. CHILDRENS HOME SOCIETY
Amount Requested: $50,000
Program Summary:
The proposed funds would partially fund the construction of the Kent Child Development Center
Project, which will be built adjacent to their current building. The Center will provide an
expanded child care program, child development activities, children's therapy program and a play
therapy room.
2
Local and Consortium Policies and Priorities:
This project complies with all local and consortium policies.
Staff Funding Recommendation: $25,000 This project may receive an increase or decrease in
funds. Refer to the Capital Contingency Plan for details.
Rationale:
Children's Home Society will build a new complex for children's services that will expand the
childcare and Head Start programs. City of Kent residents represent the largest group of program
participants and currently there is a waiting list of 60 children just for the child care program. The
agency is seeking funds from King County, the State and private foundations. Funding the Child
Development Center will enable the agency to expand services to low income at-risk families.
6. HABITAT FOR HUMANITY of SOUTH KING COUNTY
Kent Habitat House
Amount Requested: $15,000
Program Summary:
Habitat for Humanity of South King County proposes to partner with Kent Rotary to address the need
for low-income first time homeowner assistance in the Kent area. Kent CDBG funding will be used
to partially pay for the purchase of a building lot.
Local and Consortium Policies and Priorities:
The proposed project complies with all local and consortium policies.
Staff Funding Recommendation: $15,000
Rationale:
Homeownership is becoming increasingly elusive. Income growth has not kept pace with cost of
housing. A collaborative partnership between the City of Kent, Habitat for Humanity and the Kent
Rotary can address the affordability problem by providing decent shelter that is within the means
of low-income households. Habitat for Humanity screens clients for their commitment to provide
sweat equity, attend Habitat sponsored seminars and courses, and have the ability to make re,ular
house payments.
7. SOUTH KING COUNTY MULTI SERVICE CENTER
Victorian Place II
Amount Requested: $10,000
Program Summary:
The South King County Multi-Service Center proposes to acquire and do minor rehab to a 20 unit
multi-family apartment complex in DesMoines that will provide permanent rental housing for low-
income families with incomes of 35% to 50%of median income. Tenants will pay approximately 30
%of their income for rent. Each unit contains three bedrooms and can accommodate larger families.
Proposed funding is for the rehab of approximately two units.
Local and Consortium Policies and Priorities:
The proposed project complies with all local and consortium policies.
Staff Funding Recommendation: $10,000
3
Rationale:
Rent levels throughout South King County are rapidly increasing making housing unaffordable for
many families. Many complexes that were once considered affordable are being utilized for
market rate rents. Larger families are especially difficult to place in housing, which puts them in
jeopardy of becoming homeless. This project is a collaborative effort between King County and
several suburban cities. Funding of this project would add and retain 20 units of affordable
housing for low income residents of Kent and other South County cities.
8. SOUTH KING COUNTY MULTI SERVICE CENTER
Morton Street Housing
Amount Requested: $5,000
Program Summary:
Morton Street Housing consists of two houses utilized as transitional housing for low-income single
adults and families for up to 24 months. The proposed request would provide funding to repair and
replace old plumbing installed at the time the houses were built.
Local and Consortium Policies and Priorities:
The proposed project complies with all local and consortium policies.
Staff Funding Recommendation: $5,000
Rationale:
There is a limited amount of transitional housing available and maintaining the homes that we
have is critical to help stabilize families coming out of emergency shelters. Transitional housing is
longer-term housing that allows families to resolve or manage issues related to their becoming
homeless. Clients must pay 30% of their income towards rent. Last year the agency provided 262
Kent residents with Emergency and Transitional shelter.
9. CHILDREN'S THERAPY CENTER
Waiting Room Expansion
Amount Requested: $19,982
Program Summary:
Children's Therapy Center provides high quality evaluations and ongoing physical, speech and
occupational therapies for infants and young children with physical disabilities. Their current waiting
area can accommodate only five individuals. The proposed funding would double the size of the
existing waiting area, add two small therapy areas, and provide families with a small desk area to
complete paperwork.
Local and Consortium Policies and Priorities:
The proposed project complies with all local and consortium policies.
Staff Funding Recommendation: $19,982
Rationale:
The increased demand for client services has made the existing waiting area very cramped and
overcrowded, making it extremely difficult for clients in wheelchairs. Expanding this area will
result in a more comfortable atmosphere so that clients and their families get the most benefit from
their therapy sessions.
4
10. RUTH DYKEMAN'S CHILDREN'S CENTER
Children's Residential Treatment Program
Amount Requested: $25,000
Program Summary:
Ruth Dykeman Children's Center proposes to construct a 10 bed residential facility in Burien for
physically and emotionally abused children. The new building will replace an existing facility that
is expensive to repair and maintain, and is not designed to house children needing 24-hour supervision
Kent funds would pay for a portion of the overall construction costs.
Local and Consortium Policies and Priorities:
The proposed project complies with all local and consortium policies.
Staff Funding Recommendation: $10,000
This project may receive an increase in funds. Refer to the Capital Contingency Plan for details.
Rationale:
Ruth Dykeman Children's Center is a well-established regional agency that has been providing
residential treatment programs to youth for the past 75 years. In 1996-97, 80 clients residing in
Kent received services in RDCC's residential program and/or home based programs. Funding is
collaborative effort between King County and other CDBG pass-through cities. Over 75% of the
construction funds are being raised from private sources.
11. HOMESITE
._ Revolving Loan Fund
Amount Requested: $75,000
Program Summary:
Funds will be used as part of a multi-jurisdiction revolving loan fund for low and moderate income
residents of South King County. Funding will provide loans for 10 Kent residents on a loan amount
of$5,000 and, depending on need, client could also receive matching dollars from King County.
Potential clients will also receive education and pre-purchase counseling, along with down payment
assistance.
Local and Consortium Policies and Priorities:
The proposed project complies with all local and consortium policies.
Staff Funding Recommendation: $50,000
Rationale:
The gap between the rising cost of purchasing a home and actual home purchase affordability is
widening, making home ownership nearly impossible for working families with incomes at or
below 80% of the King County Area Median ($50,000 for a family of four or$47,200 for a family
of two). HomeSight proposes to work with City staff and a local advisory committee to obtain
input on outreach and marketing to connect eligible buyers with realtors and mortgage lenders in
the Kent area.
5
12. KENT YOUTH & FAMILY SERVICES
Amount Requested: $83,000
Program Summary:
Kent Youth and Family Services is requesting funds to install an elevator in their building on 2i' Ave.
S. Most of their programs are on the second floor which is a barrier to providing services for those
clients that are handicapped or who have infants and young children.
Local and Consortium Policies and Priorities:
The proposed project complies with all local and consortium policies.
Staff Funding Recommendation: $-0-
Rationale:
There is not enough funding available to fund this project for the 1999 funding cycle. Agency has
indicated that they will address this project in next year's funding round.
13. RESIDENCE XII
Amount Requested: $30,000
Program Summary:
Residence XII, is a women-only treatment facility for women who are chemically dependent. The
agency is currently renting space in Bothell. The proposed project is to build a new 24 bed, treatment
facility in Kirkland. The agency serves Kent clients at their Bothell site and also at their outpatient
treatment facility in Kent. Kent funds would pay for a portion of the overall construction costs.
Local and Consortium Policies and Priorities:
The proposed project complies with all local and consortium policies.
Staff Funding Recommendation: $ -0-
Rationale:
There is not enough funding available to fund this project
14. PARKVIEW GROUP HOMES
Amount Requested: $22,500
Program Summary:
Parkview proposed to acquire a three-bedroom house in the City of Kent for very low-income
individuals with developmental disabilities. The tenants for this project will come from two
sources: 1) older adults whose elderly parents can no longer take care of them at home, and 2)
people who are leaving the state institution at Fircrest. There will be 24 onsite support services.
Agency has also requested funding from King County and other CDBG pass-through cities.
Local and Consortium Policies and Priorities:
The proposed project complies with all local and consortium policies.
Staff Funding Recommendation: $20,531
This project may receive an increase or decrease in funds. Refer to the Capital Contingency Plan for .
details.
6
Rationale:
Availability of housing for very low-income individuals with special needs is becoming critical.
People with developmental disabilities need supportive services to live independently. It is hard to
place individuals who are coming out of State institutions or from a family home, where services
were provided. Funding this program would provide a safe, supportive living environment for
three individuals.
11 PLANNING & ADMINISTRATION
15. CITY OF KENT PLANNING AND ADMINISTRATION (for the CDBG program)
Amount Set Aside: $76,408
Program Summary:
The planning and administration of the CDBG program involves a number of tasks such as contact
development and monitoring, regional cooperation, and fulfilling the various federal reporting
requirements. These dollars will continue to fund an existing, permanent full-time planner
position and a temporary intern position. Funds will also be used for general program
administration costs that support Kent's CDBG program.
Local and Consortium Policies and Priorities:
The proposed project complies with all local and consortium policies.
Staff Funding Recommendation: $76,408
Rationale:
The Council has already taken action at their April 7, 1998 meeting to accept the maximum set
aside for Planning and Administration CDBG dollars. The current estimate is $76,408. We need
this amount to be set aside for planning and administration, because Kent's general fund does not
fully cover the staff time needed to administer and plan for the CDBG program.
PUBLIC (HUMAN) SERVICES
16. COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS OF KING COUNTY—Primary Medical
Amount Requested: $25,000
Program Summary:
Funds will be used to help support the compensation of one physician, who will provide primary
medical care to low and moderate income people at the Kent Clinic.
Local and Consortium Policies and Priorities:
The project meets all local and consortium policies.
Human Service Commission Funding Recommendation: $23,635
If the City of Kent receives an increase or decrease from the current estimate, then funding for this
program may change. Refer to the Human Service Contingency Plan for details.
7
Rationale:
Health care is a critical need in Kent. The Kent Clinic is the major point of access to medical services
for Kenfs low-income population. Access to basic medical services is limited for low and moderate-
income residents because of lack of insurance and the lack of medical providers who accept Medicaid
or Medicare clients. This project addresses that need.
17. COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS OF KING COUNTY— Natural Medicine
Amount Requested: $40,367
Program Summary:
Project directly addresses the health care needs of low income and uninsured Kent residents by
providing integrated conventional family practice services and natural medicine services. Funds
would pay a portion of the salary of a Naturopath and some lab fees.
Local and Consortium Policies and Priorities:
The project meets all local and consortium policies.
Human Service Commission Funding Recommendation: 10,732
If the City of Kent receives an increase or decrease from the current estimate, then funding for this
program may change. Refer to the Human Service Contingency Plan for details.
Rationale:
The City of Kent has a large low-income population, which lacks adequate access to basic health
services. Many low-income patients of the Kent Community Health Clinic are recent immigrants who
are more accustomed to receiving natural medicine health care services. Many insurers do not cover
natural medicine services, making them unaffordable to most low income and moderate-income
patients.
18. ELDERHEALTH NORTHWEST - CONNECTIONS ADULT DAY CARE
Amount Requested: $6,150
Program Summary:
Funds will be used to help offset the costs of adult day health services for Kent residents who are
frail, elderly or disabled who still live at home. Clients receive medical assessment, on-going
health monitoring, meals, social and therapeutic activities. Caregivers and families are offered
support, education and counseling. Funds will pay a portion of a nurse's salary.
Local and Consortium Policies and Priorities:
The proposed project meets with all local and consortium policies.
Human Service Commission Funding Recommendation: $6,150
If the City of Kent receives a decrease from the current estimate, then funding for this program
may change. Refer to the Human Service Contingency Plan for details.
Rationale:
This program addresses the growing need for adult day health services for low-income residents.
Program assists them in being able to remain in their homes.
8
19. KENT EMERGENCY FEEDING PROGRAM
Amount Requested: $11,363
Program Summary:
The Emergency Feeding Program provides emergency boxed meals for distribution at a number of
- sites in Kent. This program differs from a food bank in that it provides nutritionally balanced
meals for three days. Special meals are available for specific health concerns such as high blood
pressure, low sodium diets, low sugar, and liquid diets. They also provide infant meal packs and
food for the homeless that doesn't need cooking. Funds will be used to fund staff positions and
purchase food for clients.
Local and Consortium Policies and Priorities:
The proposed project complies with all local and consortium policies.
Human Service Commission Funding Recommendation: $11,363
If the City of Kent receives a decrease from the current estimate, then funding for this program
may change. Refer to the Human Service Contingency Plan for details.
Rationale:
The agency provides nutritionally balanced and special diet meals to individuals and families in
crisis. The City of Kent began funding this agency five years ago. The agency has demonstrated
to the City that it is providing a vital service in a competent and efficient manner.
20. YWCA DOMESTIC VIOLENCE TRANSITIONAL HOUSING
Amount Requested: $35,400
Program Summary:
This program provides emergency and transitional shelter along with support services for victims
of Domestic Violence and their children. In 1999, the YWCA will continue to provide Kent
victims of Domestic Violence with shelter. Funds will be used to partially support the salary of
the direct service staff, rent and utilities.
Local and Consortium Policies and Priorities:
The proposed project complies with all local and consortium policies.
Human Service Commission Funding Recommendation: $35,400
If the City of Kent receives a decrease from the current estimate, then funding for this program may
change. Refer to the Human Service Contingency Plan for details.
Rationale:
The YWCA's program is the only transitional housing for domestic violence victims in South
King County and is a vital service for Kent residents. This is one major component in the
continuum of housing services needed to help victims move out of the cycle of violence.
9
21. VALLEY CITIES COUNSELING- Homeless Access
Amount Requested: $15,000
Program Summary:
Program would provide comprehensive mental health services at the Midway(Nike) Residential
Shelter. Services would include family and educational support and mental health services.
Clients learn and apply new skills that aid family support and preservations. Funds would be used
to pay a portion of a Child and Family Therapist's salary.
Local and Consortium Policies and Priorities:
The project meets all local and consortium policies.
Human Service Commission Funding Recommendation: $ -0-
Rationale: Not enough funds available.
1999 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT CONTINGENCY PLAN
PUBLIC (HUMAN) SERVICES

Community Health Centers, Primary Medical and Community Health Centers, Natural Medicine Clinic, to

between all agencies, with no agency decreased below the minimum funding requirement of$5,000.

lot for the bid amount of $207, 388 . Epperly
seconded and the motion carried.
TECHNOLOGY (BIDS - ITEM 5B)
PC Purchase Re;++est for Ouotes . This purchase
replaces 75 of the older 486-class personal
computers in the City. The Operations Committee
authorized the final Request For Quotes process
on August 4 , but due to the change in the
schedule of the Operations Committee, results
will be presented tonight .
Twelve quotes were received from eight different
vendors . Staff recommends award of the con-
tract to Technology Express in the amount of
$159, 886 . 50 .
Information Services Director Mulholland
explained that the need to make this purchase was
established in the Technology Plan. She noted
that the City has worked with Technology Express
in the past and has been pleased with them as a
supplier. She pointed out that the lowest quote
did not meet the criteria and that the quote from
Technology Express was the second lowest quote.
She added that because of the reduction in PC
prices that has taken place in the last several
months, the City is able to purchase better,
faster machines with twice the memory and larger
monitors, and still stay below the identified
budget of $165, 000 .
Amodt stated that the pricing is excellent, but
inquired about the need for 17" monitors . She
suggested getting 15" monitors and saving the
approximately $12 , 000 difference for emergencies .
Mulholland explained that she has received more
and more requests for 17" monitors for usability
reasons and expressed a desire to have the most
uniform purchase possible in this case . She
added that the remaining 486 machines will be
replaced later and that a more exact count of 15"
and 17" monitors will be required at that time .
Finance Director Miller stated that the Finance
5
Kent City Council Minutes August 18, 1998
TECHNOLOGY Department will receive some of the 17" monitors
for people who use their PC' s all day long, and
that one of the advantages is the ability to do
several things at once on the screen. She added
that they also help reduce eye strain.
Mulholland clarified for Amodt that the number
of 17" monitors in this purchase is half of the
number of PCs, and that department heads must
approve all requests for machines . Amodt stated
that since everyone is getting a 300 instead of a
233 as originally proposed, that not everyone
should get a 17" monitor and that the extra money
should be spent where it is really needed.
CLARK MOVED to authorize the purchase of 75
specified Hewlett-Packard personal computers
from Technology Express in the total amount of
$159, 886 . 50 and to authorize the Mayor to sign
the documents necessary to complete the purchase .
Epperly seconded.
Clark pointed out that as the capacity of
machines increases, so does the user' s capacity
to get work done . He noted that annexations have
resulted in more citizens to serve, that person-
nel has not been expanded comparable to that , and
that existing personnel need the best equipment
possible . He complimented Mulholland on her
efforts and stated that this purchase is appro-
priate . His motion then carried with Amodt
opposed.
COUNCIL (CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 3C)

Committee .
APPOINTMENTS (CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 3D)
Human Services Appointment, CONFIRMATION of the
Mayor' s appointment of Reverend John Jendresen to
serve as a member of the Kent Human Services
Commission. Rev. Jendresen is the minister at
Kent Christian Center. In addition to his
ministerial duties, he is involved with a pro-
gram to feed and clothe the homeless, works with
single parent families, and is involved with a
program that provides gospel concerts for the
community.
He and his family will represent the religious

who resigned. His term will continue until
1/1/99 .
FINANCE (PUBLIC HEARING - ITEM 2A)
1999 Budget. This date has been set for the
first public hearing on the 1999 Budget . Public
input is desired and welcome as the City begins
to prepare for the 1999 budget .
Finance Director Miller explained that sales tax,
which comprises 29% of the revenue, is a volatile
revenue source and that she expects sales tax
growth to remain flat . She stated that the
budget is approximately $100 , 000 , 000 , $85, 000, 000
of which is operating expense and $15 , 000 , 000 of
which is capital . She added that, looking at the
entire city, transportation is the largest part
of the budget, and that public safety is 60% of
the operating budget . Miller noted that although
there has been a good deal of growth in the
valley, the revenue does not support growth in
the number of positions that can be added.
Upon the Mayor ' s question, Miller explained that
on the revenue side there is a very slim amount
of property tax that can be increased and on the
7
Kent City Council Minutes August 18 , 1998
FINANCE expenditure side there is a higher amount in
COLAs . She added that figures will be fine-tuned
and adjustments made by October 20th, and that
there will be further opportunities for Council
to look at changes . She clarified that the
fiscal year for the city is from January through
December.
Miller noted that revenue estimates are 1 . 3 over,
which is almost entirely one-time-only sales tax.
She said she expects that revenues next year will
be slightly increased, but that expenditures will
also be up. Mayor White clarified that while
over-all revenues on property tax can increase
1%, house evaluations are going up more than
that , so the net effect will be a decrease to
most property owners .
Mayor White opened the public hearing. Wayne
Thurinaer, 858 1st Avenue North, Kent, asked
whether annexations are scheduled to coincide
with the fiscal year. Miller explained that
detailed revenue and expenditure studies are done
regarding annexations, as well as month-to-month
forecasts . She added that employee hiring may
lag to match incoming revenue .
There were no further comments and CLARK MOVED to
close the public hearing. Epperly seconded and
the motion carried.

SUBJECT: King County Solid Waste Negotiations:
Authorization for the Suburban Cities Association to represent Kent for
Contracts to Which Kent is a Party
The Suburban Cities Association(SCA) has recently requested a renegotiation of a Solid
Waste Interlocal Agreement with King County. SCA has traditionally represented
suburban cities which are a party to this contract in the negotiations. King County has
asked SCA to confirm its representation of member cities in these negotiations.
To meet SCA's timeframe for notification, we took this item to the Parks Committee this
past week and received approval. Given the short time frame on which to act, we have
continued our research following the Parks Committee and cannot confirm that we are a
party to the agreement on which SCA is working. We will continue the research until we
get an answer to this question. Should we find we are a party to the agreement SCA is
negotiating, we request the Council to authorize the Mayor to SCA as Kent's
representative in the negotiations with King County. In so doing,the City of Kent will
reserve the right to negotiate with King County on its own should the best interests of
Kent citizens be served by doing so.

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 '/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 oro;� Adoption of the REET 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 adoption of the
ordinance implementing the second '/4 % Real Estate Excise Tax as provided by
state law.
Operations Committee REcT memo 1
Date : Mav 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 monies
may be used for debt service for crualifying 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:
CITY ADDITIONAL 1/41 TAX
Auburn Yes
Renton Yes
Tukwila In progress (2)
Normandy Park Yes (3)

(1) To be used for streets or parks . Please note that cities can
not purchase park land with this revenue source.
(2) Saved to use on specific project (New City Hall walkways and
street parking improvements) plan to implement in 1998 .
(3 ) Passed in 1993 then repealed. Reenacted in 1998 to be used
for 1st Avenue improvements as matching money for State Funds .
CITE( OF KENT
PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT
CAPITAL PROGRAM
CITY OFJN0010,
KEN?
FARKS &
RECREAT ION
Background:
The Kent Parks and Recreation Department began operation in 1957. Over the years
the Parks and Recreation Department has deveieped 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.
The facilities grew cut of many years of support by elected officials, staff and citizens
working together. The Kent parks system is aging. This was recognized in 1994 and a
major effort has taken place to renovate the park system. At the same time, new parks
and trails have been built. Land has been acquired fcr future parks in areas of Kent
that did not have facilities, especially in areas recentiy annexed by the City.
Many funding sources were used to accomplish the projects over the past four years.
In addition to the cjty's Capital Improvement Fund, other funding sources included
county, state and federal grants. In addition, in-kind resources were acquired using
service clubs and citizens through the City's Adopt-A-Park program (see Exhibit 6).
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 T"S AHEAD
As a result of annexations, acquisitions, and community master planning, staff has
identified a number of capital projects for development. The difference between these
projects and many of the prcjecis completed over the past four years is that many of
these are new construction. The expenses an these projects are greater due to
complete infrastructure building, equipment, and required street improvements. Star
has prepared a listing of these projects and patential funding sources. 1 nese projecs
are noted in Exhibit 2. One possible funding source to complete these projects is the
City Capital Improvement Program. Exhibit 3 identifies the funds that are available tc
the Parks Department through the Capital Facilities Program. Approximately S250,000
to $300,000 per year must be set aside in the Capital Improvement Program for park
repairs, consultant fees, life cycle replacements, and the last of the playground
replacements.
With the Capitai 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. Staff is proposing three options for
funding. i ney include:
1 . Voted Bond: T his 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 cost 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 '/4 of one percent real estate
excise tax. The 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 how much it
would provide for capital projects or maintain an acceptable level of service.
3. Extend Prciect 7meiine: This option assumes no new funding sources. T ne ability
to plan, design, and construct would be postponed for many years. As a result of
delaying these preiects, it is not known what the impact might be on other capital
projects not 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 voter's poll be done prior to a decision on a bond issue. State
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 options could be weriked with in
the 1999 budget process.
CONCLUSION:
With the support of past and current elected officials the City has developed a strong
parks and recreation system. This has enabled Kent to maintain a high quality of life
and attract business. The parks system has been built to enable Kent to maintain a
small 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.

1999 Proposed Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program
Carolyn Sundvall, Human Services Planner: The City of Kent is part of a consortium of
15 cities within King County to receive grant funds for the CDBG Program. It is
estimated that we will receive approximately $659,356 in block grant funds for 1999. Of
those funds, $495,668 will be capital funds which includes 1998 Easter Seals funding of
$18,989. It is also estimated that Planning and Administration funds will be $76,408 and
Public Service funds will be $87,208.
Carolyn went thru the list of Capital Application funds and the corresponding
recommended funding amounts. The total Capital Applications recommended funding is
$495,668; the total Public (Human)Service Applications_recommended funding is
$87,280 and the Planning & Administration recommended funding is $76,408. She stated
that along with the proposed use of funds, we developed a contingency plan in case the
block grant funds either increased or decreased.
Carolyn explained the following: With the 1999 Human Service Contingency Plan, if
there is an increase in public service dollars, the increase will be divided equally between
Community Health Centers, Primary Medical and Community Health Centers Natural
Medicine Clinic not to exceed their requested amounts. If the City receives a decrease in
Public Service dollars, the decrease will be divided proportionately between all agencies
with no agency decrease below the minimum funding requirement of$5,000. With the
Capital Contingency Plan, if there is an increase in the capital estimate, the increase will
be split evenly between Catholic Community Services, Childrens Home Society, Ruth
Dykeman and Parkview Group Homes, up to their requested amount. If there is a
decrease in the Capital estimate, the decrease will be split evenly between Catholic
Community Services, Children's Home Society and Park-view Group Homes.
Regarding the clause on increase/decrease of funds, Tom Brotherton asked if that is a
policy we are setting up for this one item or is it "across the board" in terms of grants.
Sundvall stated that's only for the Community Block Grant. Brotherton noted that if
there is a shortfall, the funds would be divided equally among the programs, the funding
amount differs substantially among the recipients. Sundvall explained that the Human
Services are split proportionately however, we didn't split the Capital because most of the
Minutes Page 1 of 6
Capital applications received requested amounts rather than giving funds to agencies that
would go beyond what they had requested of the City.
At Tim Clark's request, Carolyn explained the new Homesite Program. This program is
a first time home buyer program designed for people needing assistance with their down
payment; minimum of $5,000. It is also designed for people at the 80% and below
medium income level. Homesite will provide education on budgeting. Carolyn noted an
advisory committee is being formed to do outreach within the community.
Rico asked if it's the policy to try and benefit Kent citizens primarily. Carolyn stated this
is true however it would be low to moderate income. She stated that we look at sub-
regional needs.
Committee unanimously recommended the following three actions:
1. Cancel the 1998 Easter Seal Program and reallocate the $18,989 to the total 1999
pass-through allocation.
2. Approve the proposed 1999 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Program, including its contingency plan.
3. Schedule a Public Hearing for September 1, 1998 for the full City Council to
consider adoption of the proposed CDBG 1999 Program.
Billboards/Fines (Information Item)
Fred Satterstrom; Planning Department - The issue of billboards came before the
previous Planning Committee in a proposal to regulate off-premise signs or billboads
along some of the main corridors thru Kent. The motion at that time was to take a look at
the corridors being built across the valley floor and look at an area within those corridors
for regulating the placement of new billboards. The discussion from those meetings
broadened to include a discussion of the City's position on all billboards. There was a
legal opinion from our Law Dept that looked into. the regulation of billboards and the
conclusion was that billboard regulation as a matter of public interest, is constitutional; if
it's regulated for public type purposes, in terms of mitigating the distraction for motorists
in order to enhance public safety and in terms of preserving public vistas. The notion of
preserving private views is more tenuous but the preservation of public distance and
particularly in light of the State's Supreme Court's decision on the City of Seattle's
ordinance on the regulation of billboards, certainly gives legal grounds to the regulation
of billboards. The City of Kent presently has regulations which permit the placement of
off-premise signs or billboards. They are regulated to industrial zone and, there is a
certain amount per 1,000 lineal feet which regulates the placement of billboards.
This effort is being incorporated as a matter of the Planning Services Division work
program for this year since we have the approval from the Law Dept to proceed forward
on legal grounds. We plan to incorporate this into Phase I-A of our Zoning Code
Revision project. Council recently acted on Phase I. Phase I-A is an interim phase.
Phase II is going to take additional time. Phase I-A will be reviewed in September.
Minutes Page 2 of 6
In response to Brotherton's question as to electronic content, Clark stated that this was
included in the original proposal. Satterstrom stated that we are contemplating
beginning the project and waiting for approval from the Law Dept to proceed.
Agricultural Land Issues (Information item)
Satterstrom explained that this is an issue which the Planning Dept has been wanting to
start for sometime. The agricultural land issue needs to be re-visited as far as our Comp
Plan is concerned, particularly in light of the challenges that were being made to that
designation on our border between Kent and Auburn. We have been hampered by two
issues and are hoping that both issues could be decided upon soon. The Torrence Court
decision has been argued in front of the Supreme Court and that decision has not yet been
made. With the use of an agricultural land map, Satterstrom noted where the agricultural
lands are zoned inside the City. He also indicated on the map, where the planned
agricultural land areas are located which are presently under the jurisdiction of King
County along East Valley Highway at 277`s Street.
Satterstrom explained that the second issue at hand is the King County`s proposed
Transfer of Development Rights Program. This is a program where the rights to develop
on a piece of property are transferred to another piece of property; if you want to preserve
agricultural land you may do that thru a transfer of development rights by someone
purchasing the development rights in an area to be preserved. Satterstrom stated this
program has not been adopted by the County yet; it has generated some controversy not
in the areas they wish to send the rights from, but in the receiving areas that would
receive the additional density. Under the Growth Management Act the law states that
you may implement agricultural preservation within the urban growth area if you have
some program, either purchase of development rights or transfer of development rights.
He said we are hoping for some resolution on that issue.
In response to Clark, Satterstrom stated that on the purchase of development rights it
would take a considerable amount of public funds. He said we have approximately 400
acres in agricultural zoning and this would entail a substantial amount of money if we
were to purchase the development rights to all land that we have designated.
Theoretically, the benefit of a transfer of development rights program is no public
expenditure; it is private wherein someone purchases the development rights and
transfers it to another part of the city.
Satterstrom said that even though we have been waiting for these two things to move
forward, we do show it on our work program because we feel some sense of urgency on
this issue.
In response to Rico's question on the ultimate goal for agricultural land issues,
Satterstrom said as a direction from the Council, we have an agricultural designation on
the comprehensive plan and one in zoning. The Council was requesting options to be put
before them as to what would be the cost of continuing this as a policy in order to make it
Minutes Page 3 of 6
legal. The Council would make the decision(whether the cost is public or private) of
whether it would be worth continuing that as a policy.
Clark stated that we were obligated to take on this project form to basically preserve
something that suddenly became ours as a result of the Growth Management Act.
Satterstrom noted that the Growth Management Act states that if you want agriculture in
the Comp Plan than some mechanisms need to be in place.
Rico asked if our purpose was to preserve agricultural land. Clark said that we have
residents in the valley floor, in the greenbelt, which was being developed over time. As
the density of the population increased and the Growth Management Act began, they
were no longer under the County's jurisdiction; they became part of Kent. However, the
County has problems because they perceive that there were other things to be done as
well. The City then had a community of farmers who had made an agreement with the
public quite sometime ago and now suddenly they see that being torn up. All this has left
us with an obligation we are trying to fulfill.
Chestnut Ridge Neighborhood Traffic Concerns
Brotherton explained that this issue is being brought forward from the Public Safety
Committee as a result of citizens asking for traffic assistance in the Chestnut Ridge area.
The Homeowners Assoc. has requested speed bumps to be installed or something similar
to slow the traffic. Stop signs have been installed.
Chris Vance — 9615 S. 203`d Street: Thanked the City for their quick response on
installing the stop signs. With the growth in traffic and the addition of S. 202"d as a
connection, and with more subdivisions being built, an immense amount of traffic is
flowing thru Chestnut Ridge; cutting thru the neighborhood to avoid the corner of
208'/212`h and the Benson Highway. We are getting excessive traffic on 203`d St at an
excessive rate of speed. A majority of the homeowners at Chestnut Ridge have voted to
have speed bumps installed.
Joan Janson — 9710 S. 203`d Street: Backing out of our driveway is difficult because of
the excessive speed of traffic. With continued development around our area, there is
more cut-thru traffic in our area. There is a safety issue regarding the children as well as
the vehicles driving thru because of the `S' curve on 203`d
Larry Kayler — 9508 S. 204d' Pl: Expressed concerns regarding the safety of their
children. It's important that we get the right solution, whether it be speed bumps or some
other physical impediment.
Brotherton suggested reducing S. 203`d St down to one lane, to force drivers to slow
down before the bend. If that works, then speed bumps could be added on the way down
to the stop sign. Brotherton noted that he would like to look at other alternatives before
speed bumps are installed.
Minutes Page 4 of 6
Wickstrom said that as far as S. 203`d St is concerned, it is elegible for speed bumps. He
said that the Public Works Dept's issue is that we get support from the fronting property
owners. They will have the immediate impact of the speed bumps; it is not a problem of
putting them in or looking at other designs; the street is not a major arterial. He said it is
a matter of Council concurring on the final solution.
Rico Yingling recommended giving the Public Works Department time lok at other
options, and also giving the Neighborhood Traffic Control Coordinator an opportunity to
work with the neighborhood.
Committee recommended bringing this back to the Sept 21' Committee meeting.
Pedestrians Crossing at Kent-Kangley & 132°d Avenue S.E.
Brotherton noted there are a number of pedestrians crossing Kent Kangley & 132nd.
Brotherton asked if something could be done to prevent this from happening. Wickstrom
said we would look at this and perhaps we could resolve this with fencing.
Committee recommended bringing this item back at the Sept 14'h meeting.
Neighborhood Action Plan
Satterstrom stated that Council has concerns regarding neighborhoods and neighborhood
traffic. There is a proposal to have a workshop with the full Council determine where the
M Council wants to go with neighborhood planning. Satterstrom had included a
memorandum in the Committee's packet which addressed this issue and referring to that
memorandum, he stated that the Comp Plan as such, was compiled into nine elements
which Council passed in April of 1995. Since neighborhoods as a subject area was not
identified as a separate element, Satterstrom felt that Council would like to have more of
an emphasis on preserving neighborhoods. A workshop with the full Council is
requested on this issue.
Clark stated that with the continuous growth, we are finding greater stress on our ability
to move traffic at major intersections. He stated that something he wants to address is an
approach to deal with those neighborhoods suffering from growth near major
intersections. Also, we need to address the issue of access to adjacent neighborhoods.
Committee unanimously recommended that a workshop be held to discuss the Council's
intentions and expectations for neighborhood planning.
Lake Meridian Signing (added item: Wickstrom)
There has been re-signing along Lake Meridian. The Police Dept has a plan that should
clearly be able to identify the location of the boat ramp and directions from Kent
Kangley. We have ordered the signing material; when that arrives there is a high priority
to install the signs.
