MINUTES (CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 6A)
Approval of Minutes . APPROVAL of the minutes of
the regular Council meeting of June 1, 1999 .
STREET (PUBLIC HEARINGS - ITEM 5A)
VACATION South 125th Place Street Vacation STV-99-1.
Resolution No. 1538 established June 15 , 1999, as
the public hearing date for the application by
Donna Young to vacate a portion of 125th Place
SE, a dedicated unopened street, lying immedi-
ately north of SE 270th Street . A staff report
recommends approval with conditions .
Planning Director Harris showed the location of
the street vacation and noted that staff recom-
mends that the City be compensated for the value
of the 125th Place SE right-of-way and that any
money received be deposited in the City' s School
Pedestrian Walkway Fund. Upon Clark' s question,
Harris noted that the office and professional
area to the east will not be impacted.
Wickstrom explained for Brotherton that there is _
no bearing on the purchase' of the adjacent
easement . Wickstrom added that if the vacation
is approved, he would like a second condition
2

STREET retaining an easement over the northerly 50 ' of
VACATION the proposed vacated property plus a utility
easement and a temporary construction easement .
Mayor White opened the public hearing. Donna
Young, 12524 SE 270 Street, stated that she will
lose the majority of her background and the
playground due to construction. She explained
that she is a licensed day care provider and that
the State requires large play equipment and 75 '
of outside space per child. She said the con-
struction has caused a decrease in clientele and
noted that 1/3 of her annual income is generated
during the summer months . She said she does not
need the sewer, and that she is requesting the
street vacation because she cannot afford the
fees or the disruption to her business.
Young said that according to Section 2 Item 2 of
Ordinance No. 2333 , Class C vacations may require
compensation at one-half the appraised value, not
that they must . She added that, according to the
City, 125th Place SE will never be a right-of-
way. She urged the Council to vacate the western
half of 125th Place SE.
There were no further comments and ORR MOVED to
close the public hearing. Woods seconded and the
motion carried.
CIARK MOVED to approve the Planning Director ' s
recommendation to approve with conditions the
application to vacate a portion of 125th Place
SE, a dedicated, unopened street, lying immedi-
ately north of SE 270th Street, as referenced in
Resolution No. 1538, and to amend the recommenda-
tion by reserving a 20 ' easement on the northern
part of the property, plus an additional 30 '
temporary easement on the north part of the
parcel, and to direct the City Attorney to pre-
pare the necessary ordinance upon compliance with
the conditions of approval . Brotherton seconded.
Wickstrom noted for Epperly that the value of
Young' s property is approximately $11, 000 . 00 .
3
Kent City Council Minutes June 15, 1999
STREET Upon Yingling ' s question, Wickstrom explained
VACATION that the City puts the funds from vacations in
the Pedestrian Walkway Programs around schools .
Lubovich explained that the City traditionally
has charged one-half of the appraised value .
Amodt said this project has apparently caused
Ms . Young undue financial stress and that the
Council should consider not charging for this
property. She said the City has put no money
into the property and the property owner has been
maintaining it . Lubovich pointed out that the
City has reached a negotiated agreement to
compensate for the acquisition of the easements
and the inconvenience. Clark added that a
significant amount of staff time has been spent
on this property, and that a sincere effort has
been made to ease the inconvenience . Amodt noted
that Ms . Young is being burdened with a $10, 000
LID cost and that an additional cost could harm
her. She urged the Council to consider the —
welfare of citizens and do this as good will .
McFall pointed out that the applicant was not
compelled to request the vacation, and that when
property is disposed of, it is typically sold.
Orr said she is unclear whether the City has put
money into this property, and would not want to
set a precedent whereby City-owned property is
given away. She said it is unreasonable for
property owners to ask to be given a piece of
City property to enhance their own property and
said that has not been done in the past . She ex-
pressed concern about setting a precedent . Woods
agreed with Orr,' noting that it is a bit like
making a gift of public money. Orr added that
there is the potential of the property being sold
in the future.
Brotherton sympathized with Ms . Young, but said
it is unreasonable to give the property away. He
suggested giving Ms . Young credit for the
inconvenience to her business, since the pro-
perty is of no value to anyone else, and charging
an amount such as $2, 000 for the property. Mayor
White clarified that negotiating and setting
4
Kent City Council Minutes June 15, 1999
STREET dollar amounts is a staff responsibility, and
VACATION offered to work on a compensation package if so
desired. AMODT MOVED to amend the motion to
charge the applicant by going through negotia-
tions and determining what is acceptable to the
applicant and the City for the vacation.
Brotherton seconded. Woods spoke in opposition
to the motion. She suggested that staff provide
details and that the issue be brought back to the
next Council meeting. Orr agreed. Clark con-
curred and reiterated that this issue has been
under extensive negotiations . He then WITHDREW
HIS MOTION. ORR MOVED to table this item until
the next Council meeting. Woods seconded and the
motion carried. Mayor White reminded Council
that a precedent of charging 50% of the appraised
value has been set over the years, and if Council
chooses to deviate from that, the door will be
open for a public negotiation of public right-of-
way on every street vacation.
TRAFFIC (OTHER BUSINESS - ITEM 7A)
CONTROL (ADDED ITEM)
Seasonal No Parking Zone In The Neighborhood East
Of Lake Meridian. The neighborhood east of Lake
Meridian Park has experienced a number of pro-
blems related to on-street parking. Residents
have found cars and boat trailers on their
property and blocking their driveways, litter and
other trash discarded on their yards and on the
neighborhood streets, and trespassers have used
their yards to access the lake . These streets
have also become so congested that safe passage
by emergency vehicles has been threatened. These
problems occur during the warmer days of the
year, when use of the park is at its peak.
This ordinance would prohibit parking between
12 : 00 p.m. and 8 : 00 p.m. from May 15th to
September 15th of each year. Because of the
threat regarding the access of emergency vehicles
over the Fourth of July weekend, this item is
presented as an emergency ordinance. The City
Attorney noted that an emergency ordinance
requires a majority plus one for passage . Upon
5
Kent City Council Minutes June 15, 1999
TRAFFIC Amodt ' s question, Lubovich said the Public Works
CONTROL Committee felt this option is the most feasible.
CLARK MOVED to adopt Ordinance No. 3463 prohibit-
ing on-street parking on certain designated
streets in the Lake Meridian area from May 15th
to September 15th of each year. Epperly seconded
and the motion carried unanimously.
LID (CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 6G)

Committee at their June 1, 1999 meeting.
Local improvement district billings have doubled
with the addition of LIDS 348, 349, and 340 and
this position is needed for billing and collec-
tion. The position will also spend a quarter of

Receivable function. The 1999 budget is
primarily covered by administrative revenue of
LID 340 .
(CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 6H)

Operations Committee at their June 1, 1999

LID 340 for the 196th Street Corridor project,
and a 10-year issue for LID 349 for sanitary
sewers on 223rd Street . A Bond Ordinance and
Purchase Contract will be back to the Operations
Committee on July 6, 1999 and to Council on
July 20, 1999.

STAFF REPORT
July 6, 1999
TO: MAYOR WHITE AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: KATHERIN JOHNSON, HUMAN SERVICES MANAGER
RE: HUMAN SERVICES ROUNDTABLE MEMBERSHIP TERMINATION RESOLUTION
RECOMA ENDED ACTION
--n June 21, 1999 the Public Works and Planning Committee unanimously approved the following two
recommended actions:
1. Approval of Human Services Roundtable Termination of Membership Resolution.
2. Forward this recommendation to the full City Council for consideration at its July 6, 1999 meeting
authorizing the Mayor to sign the Resolution.
BACKGROUND
The membership of the Human Services Roundtable of King County is composed of King County; Cities of
Bellevue, Bothell, Des Moines, Issaquah, Kent, Kirkland, Lake Forest Park, Redmond, Renton, SeaTac,
Shoreline, Seattle and Tukwila; United Way; and the Department of Social and Health Services. In the last 18
months; the Cities of Auburn and Mercer Island have resigned membership. The City of Federal Way dropped
out several years ago. The City of Seattle, King County and United Way each hold two seats on the Roundtable
thereby giving them each two votes. The Roundtable membership consists of elected officials representing their
jurisdictions. The permanent staff is composed of staff from each jurisdiction with Seattle and King County
each having two staff persons. The project staff is a consultant paid by the dues collected. Dues are calculated
based on population. Kent's current fee of$10,060 which has not gone up in several years primarily due to a
concern that if the dues are raised to reflect the current population, membership would drop off.
Permanent staff has raised concerns that Seattle and King County dominate the Roundtable. This has become
more evident with the participation of Seattle's Mayor. Staff has also expressed concerns that the suburban cities
are not receiving their money's worth and that their interests are not being addressed. Other jurisdictions have
indicated they may resign from the Roundtable due to the focus on Seattle.

HUMAN SERVICES ROUNDTABLE
MEMBERSHIP TERMINATION RESOLUTION
STAFF REPORT 6/21/99
PAGE 2
At the 1999 Permanent Staff Retreat three areas were identified that would meet the needs of membership.
There was consensus on legislative advocacy and strategies to improve cost-effective systems. There was not
consensus on using a sub-regional approach to define areas of need and develop the work program around those
areas. The permanent staff representing the South County jurisdictions felt a sub-regional approach was critical
to the Roundtable's future.
PROS AND CONS OF MEMBERSHIP
Staff has identified the following pros and cons of membership in the Roundtable.
Pros
• Legislative Advocacy for Human Services in Olympia
• Forum for elected officials to discuss Human Services
• Forum to develop strategies to improve cost-effective systems
Opportunities to become aware of changes in the County's delivery of human services to the
region
Mayor White has suggested forming a South King County Electeds Forum on Human Services instead of the
Human Services Roundtable which would address these areas. City Human Service Staff are currently members
of the South King County Planners Group which meets monthly to review and discuss human service issues in
South King County.
Cons
• King County/Seattle Focus
• Lack of focus on sub-regional issues
• Major South County players such as Auburn and Federal Way are not at the table
• Attempts by Seattle to dictate the work plan
• Lack of understanding as to how jurisdictions operate
• Few significant accomplishment in the past 3 years

Neighborhood Traffic Control Program
NEIGHBORHOOD TRAFFIC CONTROL PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Neighborhood Traffic Control Program is designed to support legally required statewide and local
comprehensive transportation planning policies and goals. The statutory authority for our local
transportation policy is found in RCW 36.70A, the state Growth Management Act. The Growth
Management Act (GMA)was passed by the legislature in 1990 to address problems associated with low-
density growth patterns in Washington:
• people moving to the region were buying property in outlying areas where land rents and
housing costs are less expensive than in the central city;
• these new residents commuted, alone and by car,to work in or near the central city where the
best employment opportunities were located;
• with more cars on the road and inadequate transportation services in place to respond to the
increase in travel demand,traffic congestion increased;
• increased congestion contributed to a decline in air quality along with its attendant
environmental and community health concerns.
The GMA requires local governments to accommodate anticipated population growth through strategic
land use planning. Each jurisdiction must produce a comprehensive plan that contains elements related
to land use, transportation, capital facilities, housing and utilities. The GMA requires a direct link
between transportation and land use policy in all comprehensive plans.
The City Council adopted the City of Kent's Comprehensive Plan on April 18, 1995 by Ordinance
3222. The transportation element of the city's comprehensive plan contains five policies related to traffic
flow on city roadways. These policies provide the framework for the Neighborhood Traffic Control
Program:
1. Policy TR-4.1- Maximize traffic flow and mobility on arterial roads, especially on regional
through routes, while protecting local neighborhood roads from increased traffic volumes.
2. Policy TR-4.2- Provide a balance between protecting neighborhoods from increased traffic and
reducing accessibility for the citywide road network.
3. Policy TR-4.3- Balance the dual goals of providing accessibility within the local street system
and protecting neighborhoods. Where overflow traffic from the regional system significantly
impacts neighborhoods,protect the residential area.
4. Policy TR-4.4- Develop a system of level-of-service standards which promote growth where
appropriate and preserve the transportation system where appropriate.
5. Policy TR-4.8-Enhance the Neighborhood Traffic Safety Program to include in neighborhoods a
wide range of passive control devices.
Level of Service Standards and Neighborhood Traffic Control
The Growth Management Act requires local jurisdictions to include action plans for bringing existing
transportation facilities into compliance with established level-of-service (LOS)' standards. The
comprehensive plan must provide for the expansion of transportation facilities to meet future need at
established LOS standards. Land use planning must be consistent with the transportation action plan;
future growth shouldn't cause transportation facilities to fall below established LOS standards. LOS
standards can be based on many measures, including traffic congestion. LOS standards for traffic
congestion have been developed and revised over the years by the Transportation Research Board(TRB).
One of the TRB systems uses volume on a road and capacity of the road to define a ratio, called a V/C
(volume to capacity) ratio, which can be classified by degree of congestion. The classifications" range
from A (the best) to F (the worst). Roads with lower levels of congestion are given higher level of
service designations. Roads with higher levels of congestion are given lower level of service designations.
The LOS standards developed for Kent are based on volume to capacity ratios that are consistent with
those developed for the King County region. There are separate standards for different transportation
modes, including nonmotorized modes. This is in keeping with the adopted commute trip reduction
ordinance, air quality legislation, and policies that support single occupancy vehicle reductions. For the
purposes of this report,the LOS discussion will focus on automobile traffic.
In developing the Kent LOS standard, 22 subareas of the city were defined (see exhibit A). LOS
standards were determined by estimating volume to capacity (V/C) ratios based on land use
designations (see exhibit B). Acceptable V/C ratios are higher (low levels of service) in areas where
the land use plan directs intensive growth. Areas designated for lower density land use have lower
acceptable V/C ratios (high levels of service). It was assumed that high levels of congestion .(low LOS)
are acceptable in the Central Business District and other major activity centers, but not in residential or
low-density commercial areas where lower V/C ratios (high LOS) were required. Table 1.1 shows the
V/C ratios 'associated with each LOS in.the transportation element of Kent's comprehensive plan.
Table 1..1 LOS.DEFINITION
A 0.01-0.60
B 0.61-0.70
C 0.71-0.80
D 0.81-0.90
E 0.91-0.98
F 0.99+
' Level of service(LOS)is a qualitative estimate of the performance efficiency of transportation facilities in a
community.
"LOS A—low volume,high speeds,no delay;LOS B—stable flow with reasonable freedom to select speed;LOS C
—stable flow,but speed and maneuverability are affected by the presence of others;LOS D—speed and
maneuverability are severely restricted,small additions to traffic flow generally will cause operational problems;
LOS E—operating conditions at or near the capacity of the roadway, low speeds,freedom to maneuver is extremely
difficult;LOS F—forced flow operation at very low speeds,operations are characterized by stop and go traffic.
' Sum of entering automobile volume on road divided by the sum of automobile lane capacity on the road

The Neighborhood Traffic Control Program (NTCP) deals with two problem areas: volume control
and speed control. Typically, the problems are related. Drivers attempting to save time will cut through a
neighborhood to avoid congestion on certain arterials or to avoid inconvenient traffic control devices.
They will also drive at speeds that exceed the posted limits in order make it through the neighborhood
quickly. Consequently, some of the traffic calming devices employed to address volume control are very
similar to those that address speed control. They are designed to either force drivers to slow down
(thereby eliminating the time saving incentive for using the street as a cut through), or to prevent them
from entering a particular street section altogether.
Both the volume control and speed control aspects of the program are comprised of two phases: the first
employs a variety of passive control devices; the second, physical alterations to the street section. Criteria
have been developed to delineate the threshold conditions that warrant the use of various traffic calming
devices. The criteria was designed to support and maintain level of service standards for automobile
traffic on neighborhood-residential streets as determined by the transportation element of the city's
comprehensive plan. Table 1.3 shows the criteria for the Neighborhood Traffic-Volume Control program.

Table 1.4 shows the criteria for the Neighborhood Traffic-Speed Control program.
Typically, speed limits are determined by the design of the roadway, the behavior of reasonable and
prudent drivers on that roadway, and statutory requirements. The speed limits for Washington state
roadways are determined by RCW 46.61.400. They are 25 miles per hour on city and town streets, 50
miles per hour on county roads, and 60 miles per hour on state highways. RCW 46.61.415 gives local
jurisdictions the ability to increase or decrease the speed limit if an engineering and traffic investigation
determines that it is reasonable to do so. Local jurisdictions cannot increase the speed limit to more than
60 miles an hour, or decrease it to less than 20 miles per hour.
Speed limit enforcement is largely a function of the local jurisdiction's customs and practices. Although
the law assesses fines for drivers who exceed the posted speed limit by as little as one mile per hour, the
custom of the local enforcement authority may be to write tickets only if the driver exceeds some
predetermined threshold speed. For example, the posted speed limit is 25 miles per hour, but the local
policy is to write tickets only if the driver exceeds the posted speed limit by 10 miles per hour or more.
Subsequently,the NTCP criteria developed to delineate threshold speed conditions that warrant the use of
Phase 2 traffic control devices are based on local enforcement practices.

classification. A traffic safety campaign involves educating neighborhood residents via newsletters,
brochures and public meetings about behaviors that improve safety and safety awareness.
Row fourteen (14) identifies a Phase 1 alternative and whether or not it is appropriate for the road
classification. The speed radar board is a reader board that shows approaching motorists the posted
speed limit while displaying that motorist's actual speed.
Row fifteen (15) identifies a Phase 1 altemative and whether or not it is appropriate for the road
classification. The neighborhood speed watch involves local residents who use radar equipment to record
vehicle speeds. A letter is then written to the registered owners of vehicles that were exceeding the speed
limit asking them to obey the posted speed limits.
Row sixteen (16) identifies a Phase 1 altemative and whether or not it is appropriate for the road
classification. Parking variants are simply different methods for neighborhood residents to park their
r vehicles on the street section. Parking areas create narrower roadways and increased activity leading to
increased attention by drivers.
Row seventeen (17) identifies whether or not a traffic study to evaluate the interim results of the selected
alternative will be conducted by the city.
Row eighteen (18) identifies a Phase 1 alternative and whether or not it is appropriate for the road
classification. Warning, guide and reo�latory signing is the posting of signs that inform motorists about
desired or required driver behavior. The threshold criteria for this option are also identified: NIUTCD is
the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices. It is the standard used throughout the country for the
design and deployment of traffic control devices. 70%+ 70%is the level of neighborhood support needed
(as determined by ballot or petition) before the city implements this option.
Row nineteen (19) identifies a Phase 1 alternative and whether or not it is appropriate for.the road
classification. Pavement markings are painted legends on the roadway to alert drivers of special
conditions. The threshold criteria for this option are also identified: NMCD is the Manual of Uniform
Traffic Control Devices. It is the standard used throughout the country for the design and deployment of
traffic control devices. 70% + 70%is the level of neighborhood support needed (as determined by ballot
or petition) before the city implements this option.
Row twenty (20) identifies a Phase 1 alternative and whether or not it- is appropriate for the road
classification. Rumble strips are raised buttons on the road, which serve to alert motorists to a special
condition. 70% + 70% is the level of neighborhood support needed (as determined by ballot or petition)
before the city implements this option.
Row twenty-one (21) identifies whether or not a traffic study to evaluate the interim results of the selected
alternative will be conducted by the city.

Speed Control Phase 2 Options Section
Row twenty-seven (27) identifies the table section (Speed Control Phase 2 Options)
Row twenty-eight (28) identifies the threshold speeds required for each road classification, after Phase 1
alternatives have been deployed for the period of one year, before the city will consider implementing a
Phase 2 option. For residential streets, the 85`h percentile vehicle speed should exceed 35 miles per hour.
For residential collectors and residential collector arterials, the 85" percentile speed should be greater
than 10 miles per hour over the posted speed limit. The 85`s percentile speed is the average speed at which
85% of the vehicles are traveling on a particular roadway. The 85`h percentile speed is typically used to
determine the appropriate speed limit for a roadway.
Row twenty-nine (29) identifies the street section features that are required to make the Phase 2
alternatives viable for each road classification. Vertical curbs will discourage vehicles from driving
around a traffic control device. Gutters are necessary to handle storm water drainage. Grades < 8%means
that the slope of the roadway should be less than 8%.
Row thirty (30) identifies the level of neighborhood support needed (as determined by ballot or petition)
before the city takes a specific course of action among Phase 2 alternatives. 70% and 70% means that
seventy percent of the residents plus seventy percent of the property owners in a neighborhood need to
approve of the city's plan before it is implemented.
Row thirty-one (31) identifies a Phase 2 alternative and whether or not it is appropriate for the road
classification. An entry-exit, mid-block choker is a curb extension that creates a barrier to traffic in one
direction of a street while permitting traffic in the opposite direction to pass through. The straightaway
distance requirements are guidelines found in the MUTCD. They relate to the placement of advance
warning signs informing drivers of the traffic control device. The distances are required in order for the
driver to perceive the warning sign, identify what it means, decide what they need to do, and then
decelerate to the desired speed needed to safely negotiate the traffic control device.
Row thirty-two (32) identifies a Phase 2 alternative and whether or not it is appropriate for the road
classification. A traffic circle is a raised island constructed in the roadway intersection that forces traffic
into circular maneuvers.

Welcome to Kent's Neighborhood
NEIGHBORHOO[I Traffic Control Program
Traffic conditions on residential streets can greatly affect
TRAFFIC CONTROL neighborhood livability. When our streets are sale and pleasant,
the quality of life is enhanced. When traffic problems become a
daily occurrence,our sense of community and personal well-
being are threatened. With your help and the usage ens,t in
education,engineering enforcement,and encouragement,these
concerns can be addressed.
Citizen involvement is an important part of all trff c calming
projects. The people who live and work in the project area
have the opportunity to become actively involved in the
Planning and decision-making process.
What is the Neighborhood Traffic Control Progam?
The Neighborhood Traffic Control Program addresses neighbor-
hood traffic safety concerns while partnering with citizens and/or
community groups to become actively involved in the improve-
ment process. Through active participation by you and your
neighbors,we can identify the problem,plan the approach,
implement the solutions,and evaluate the effecriveness.
How does the program work?
The program is a two year process. The first year focuses on passive,
less-restrictive measures lice educational programs,enforcement,
pavement legends,and signing Should Phase I actions prove

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS

TO: Public Works/Plannin Committee
FROM: Don Wickstro
RE: 272°1 Corridor Interim Financing
As vou're aware, by deferring the formation of LID# 351 to the beginning of next
vear, interim funding is necessary to pay for the work presently under contract. In
addition to deferring the LID forced us to review the entire project budget forecast
(see table A) to determine what changes therein may also be necessary to either
minimize the cash flow requirement or to address cost increases which would have
otherwise been addressed via the regular budget cycle. As a result, we are proposing
some mid year budget changes along with an interim financing proposal.
In putting the 1999 budget together no street fund monies were allocated for this
project in `99 as it was anticipated LID funds would be available. In fact no street
fund monies were projected until 2002 for which S 1,221,071(see table B) was
denoted therefore. Now to both minimize the cash floe- requirement and to address
a project cost increase issue a budget change is necessary. The budget change we are
proposing is to transfer 53,328,821 from the street fund in 1999 to the project fund
(see table Q. Further, another S610,000 is projected for next Near (to be addressed
the in regular budget cvvcle). The net total increase of street fund monies to the
project fund is 52,717,750 (53,328,821 —, 5610,000 - S 1,221,07 1 = 52,717,750).
Said increase costs can be attributed to basically 3 items: added on and off ramps at
108`h Avenue, bond issuance / Guarantee Fund costs and Grant fund reduction. The
ramp costs added about a million dollars as it included not only the additional
construction costs but also additional right of w•av expense plus walkway
improvements along 108' Avenue to address the neighborhood's perceived safety
issue relating to their kids walking to school there along. The bond/Guarantee fund
issue added $1,146,820. To minimize the anguish of the LID participates we told
them we would limit their assessment at the amount specified in the agreement where
typically the LID expenses are added on top thereof. The Grant reduction amounts
to about 5400,000 and it is attributed to how the grant agency calculates their share
(Please keep in mind that we have not given up on getting this money but resolving it
may only occur at the completion of the project.).
Assuming the budget change is concurred with, the amount of the interim financing
necessary to address the cash flow issue as reflected in table A is approximately
S5,200,000. The size thereof is attributed to two factors: Prior carry-over work, and
work moved ahead of schedule. Per the carry over work you may recall that last vear
when we awarded the contract for constructing the bridges we anticipated a
$1,000,000 short fall for which the LID funds were to cover. Per the moved ahead
work we decided to do the work originally scheduled for 2002 ($1,221,0 7 1) this year.
The original proposal was to build a three lane road this year to get the road open to
traffic and then widen it to 5 lanes in 2002. Prior to letting the recent contract we
reviewed that proposal and concluded it would probably be more costly to do so. We
felt so because the contractor would be working under traffic conditions whereas now
there is none and further, by 2002 there will be a lot of Ref. 49 work hitting the
streets so competition (low prices) for our work may not be very good. To fund this
financing need we are proposing to utilize the ending funding balance of the street
fund. As reflected in table C the ending balancing is estimated to be approximately
S5,573.762 by the end of 1999. This assumes the expenses as highlighted in table C
(256`h Street Improvement, 212"' Street Rehab, West Meeker Street Widening and
132"d s: 272"d Street Intersection) are deferred to 2000 and that the monies therefore
remain in the Street Fund (The delav of these projects was explained in my memo of
June 7"). Further this assumes Council will concur with another budget change for
the 196`h Corridor Project. The Change proposed (good news) is to reduce the 1999
street fund transfer thereto from S 1.503,171 to SO and the 2000 transfer which can
wait for the 2000 budget cycle from $6,036,637 to S1,696.637 for a total net savings
of S5,843,171. The base for the savings is a wind fall grant of almost S4,500,000
and a good bid on the recent bridgework.
With all the above action the interim financing needs of the 272 Corridor are met.
Use of the street fund monies for same has the added benefit of the project not
incurring the interest expense (estimated at S500,000) associated with borrowing
from other Funds such as Water Utility Capital Improvement Fund. Finally as a fail
safe back up plan we are requesting that Council authorize the uses of other funds as
necessary subject to an appropriate interest charge should the funds within the Street
Fund prove to be inadequate. Please keep in mind that when the LID funds become
available, all interim financing monies will be refunded accordingly.
MOTION: Recommend to full the Council the approval and the adoption of the
budget changes and respective transfers along with the concurrence and the
establishment of the interim financing thereto as reflected in the above memo.

Kent City Council Meeting
Date July 6 , 1999
Category Consent Calendar
1 . SUBJECT: RIVERBEND GOLF COMPLEX OPERATIONAL OPTIONS -
APPROVAL AND AUTHORIZATION
2 . SUMMARY STATEMENT: Approval and authorization to reduce
staffing levels as recommended by the Parks Director/Consultant
and to not sell any portion of the golf complex except under
the direction of the Council if the city is unable to meet the
highest positive revenue benefit within 18 months (the highest
revenue option will be implemented by the Mayor/City staff, as
recommended by the consultant, Economic Research Associates
page 11-7) ; authorization for the Mayor to implement the
recommendation by the consultant which includes one of the
following three : Facility Lease, Management Contract, and Golf
Operations Concessions (City Operation is only an option if a
short-term emergency exists whereby the city must operate the
golf course until new management is secured) ; authorization for
the Mayor to administer and manage all provisions of the
Riverbend Golf Complex Management agreement with SSMD, and if
the criteria herein are not met, the City Council will take the
necessary actions to ensure proper operation of the golf course
by the end of year 2000 .
Recently the City of Kent conducted a consultants study on the
future direction of the Riverbend Golf Complex. The report
outlined: methods to reduce expenses, recommendations on
revenue enhancements through contractual changes, and stated
that the only viable sale of assets would be the Par 3 . Staff
is currently working on the reduction of expenses by lowering
staffing levels . Staff will be presenting a proposal to the
represented staff prior to the Operations Committee meeting.
Staff is also recommending that the Par 3 not be sold and staff
begin irrigation improvements at the facility. Staff is
further requesting authority to implement future changes to the
operation that have a revenue benefit to the city and golf
complex.

Gentlemen and Ladies,
On behalf of myself and Network Computing Architects, thank you for the opportunity to support
the deployment of secure remote access for the City of Kent!This cover page is a summary of the project
costs which are detailed in the body of the Request for Quote. First you will see two total project costs: one
for the RFQ as written, and one modified to provide a greater degree of redundancy. I have followed this
with maintenance costs to support the system in years two and three of deployment.
The total cost for the remote access system as specified by the RFQ will be$77,221.30.
In order to have redundancy in both components of the system I have generated a cost number
which incorporates a multiple server version of the Security Dynamics ACE/SERVER, Security Dynamics
RADIUS option,and on-site spares for the 3Com Total Control remote access platform. The total cost of
this system will be$116,478.35.
Cost of system maintenance in year 2 will be $12,054.60
Cost of system maintenance in year 3 will be $12,054.60
1 will be happy to answer any questions you may have regarding this response to the request for
quote. You can reach me direct at 425-452-5184, or by e-mail at ephillips@ncanet.com.
Again, thank you for the opportunity to support the City of Kent. We appreciate your business!

dates. Common calculations include subtraction, sorting, and comparative operations.
Leap Year Compliant: The system will accurately process data and perform calculations based
on all valid leap years. February 29, 2000, is a rare century leap year, and all systems will
recognize and correctly process this date.
Interface Compliant: Connected systems will accurately share data with other systems as
designed. Common formats and protocols will be implemented between connected systems to
ensure all data is processed including dates.

STAFF PRESENT: Brent McFall, May Miller, Margaret Yetter, Bonnie Kosko, Tom Brubaker, Anh
Hoang, John Hillman, Jackie Bicknell
The meeting was called to order by Chair Judy Woods at 3:32PM.
Approval of Minutes of May 18, 1999
Committee Member Tim Clark moved to approve the minutes of May 18, 1999. The motion was
seconded by Council Member Sandy Amodt and carried 3-0.
Approval of Combined Check-Detail Vouchers Dated 5/28/99
Finance Director May Miller presented the vouchers dated May 28, 1999. Tim Clark moved to
approve the vouchers. The motion was seconded by Sandy Amodt and carried 3-0.
Probation Officer
Director of Operations Brent McFall presented the request for the conversion of a temporary
probation officer position to a full time regular employee position. The conversion is needed because
of the volume of the workload of the probation office. The costs for the change will be S32,270
which probation department revenue will fund.
Mr. McFall introduced Margaret Yetter, Municipal Court Administrator and Probation Supervisor
Bonnie Kosko. Ms. Kosko said that the court administers sentencing, compliance, and monitoring of
cases, of which there are 800 currently, with approximately 250 DUI cases and 250 Domestic
Violence cases. These types of cases require a great deal of time and work.
Sandv Amodt moved that the Operations Committee recommend to the Council approval of a
full time probation officer position in the Probation Department of the Municipal Court at a
cost of S32,270 for the balance of the year, and that the 1999 budget be amended to reflect this
additional problem. The motion was seconded by Tim Clark and carried 3-0.
Election Information Video
Brent McFall brought before the Committee the resolution establishing a policy for the use of the
City's government access cable television channel for election information for the positions of Kent
City Council Members, the Mayor, and for certain ballot measures placed before the voters. The
resolution was modified slightly from an earlier version to allow for showing only those candidate
profiles that run for contested seats. Each candidate for City Council and Mayor would be able to
make a four minute presentation of their platform. Ballot measures would be presented with a"Vote
Yes" and a"Vote No" committee with two minute rebuttals allowed. Also, the City would prepare
and show video tapes encouraging individuals to register and to vote in the primary, general, or
special elections.
Candidate Forums conducted by citizen groups, associations, or organizations would provide a
mechanism to inform the voters. A request would have to be submitted to the City's Director of
Information Services no later than 30 days before the scheduled forum to have it video taped for
presentation. The director would determine if appropriate technical staff would be available at the
Operations Committee Minutes, 6/1i99 2
time requested and whether the location would be suitable for video taping. The tape would be
shown at various times for a period not to exceed two weeks.
Tim Clark requested that the lead-in tape indicate when the voting would take place. Judy Woods
said that there would be some fall-off of viewers between the first candidate shown and the last. She
requested that there be some type of rotation so the same person isn't always shown first. Sandy
Amodt wanted to ensure that the candidate presentations would be shown in primetime and not at
3:00AM. Mr. McFall said that the showings would run at consistent times at different times of the
day over a one month period and would pick up morning, afternoon, and evening audiences. If a

Division. The motion was seconded by Tim Clark and carried 3-0.
Kent Downtown Public Market Development Authority — Loan Authorization Resolution
Brent McFall requested approval that the City back a S700,000 bank loan to the Public Development
Authority. The loan was obtained on acceptable terms with US Bank for the redevelopment of the
old Lumberman's Barn site. As a condition of the loan, the bank has asked the City to reconfirm by
resolution its guaranty of the obligation, to approve the loan documents, and to authorize the
Assignment of Rents provision. The PDA will retain the loan. After the building renovation, the
value of the property should be S 1,200,000.

Operations Committee Minutes, 6/1/99 3
April Financial Report
May Miller said the General Fund Revenues are at 5172,726 or 1.2% over budget. Expenditures are
2.8% under budget. Property Tax collections for April are currently at 565,789 which is 1 '/ % under
budget. Adjustments to personal property taxes should decrease receipts by 559,000 for this year, but
that should be recovered next year. Sales Tax is 3.8% under budget but should only be 0.81/'o under
budget by year's end. The Utility Tax is 2.5% over budget. Building permits are looking great and
have more than doubled the expected amount. Year-to-date receipts are $199,691 or 53.1% over
budget. Recreation Fees are a 539,931 over the expected amount. Fines and Forfeitures are coming
in at 48.2% over budget at 538,594. The Golf Course Revenue is 18.9% less than expected, but that
could be partly due to a very rainy season.
The Capital Improvement Fund is impacted by the sales tax decreases of the General Fund, but the
increases in the real estate excise tax more than offsets that. It is currently expected that the Capital
Improvement Fund will end the year with 5613,615 more than was budgeted.
The meeting was adjourned at 4:22PM.

Parks Committee, 5/18/99 2
Hazardous Trees at Titus Park Report
John Hodgson handed out a Titus Railroad Park Hazard Tree Evaluation Report done by Sound
Urban Forestry. He said that as part of the Parks Tree Program, trees in the City parks are assessed to
make sure they're safe. If it is deemed there are problems, an outside consultant is brought in. There
are two trees in Titus Park that certified arborist, Kevin McFarland of Sound Urban Forestry, has
checked with the recommendation that one tree be removed immediately. The other tree will only be
trimmed as it can last a few more years. Its situation will then be reviewed over the next 18 months
to decide how to proceed. Mr. Hodgson said that allowing hazardous trees to remain presents a
liability and safety issue. A fairly large size tree will be planted as replacement for the tree that is
removed.
Frisbee Golf Meeting Results
Lori Flemm said that in August 1998 some people came to the Parks Department to ask for a suitable
place for a Frisbee Golf course. After reviewing current issues and problems, such as loitering and
drinking, staff identified Lake Fenwick Park as a suitable area. The location was reviewed with the
Environmental Division of the Public Works Department to determine any impacts. The decision
was that the blackberry bushes could be removed and native vegetation encouraged with no
environmental damage done to the Park by the course. Volunteers had agreed to remove the
blackberries and to do regular maintenance of the area.
A notice was placed in the paper stating the intention to build a Frisbee Golf Course at Lake Fenwick
Park and no opposition was received. The matter was brought before the Parks Committee and at
that time opposition was brought forth from some neighbors of the Park. After that, staff conducted a
public meeting at the site with 21 people in attendance, 12 of which were residents from the area.
Perry Brooks summarized the results of the meeting. Some people thought the Frisbee golf course
would be a good addition to the park. Two citizens were opposed.
Lori Flemm described the layout of the course on a map of the park. Mr. Brooks said no grading
would be required for installation of the course.
Citizen Input:
Citizen Lou Accetturo, 3510 S. 252Id St., Kent, opposed the golf course. He said he enjoys the
quiet, open-spaced land. He asked some of his neighbors how they felt about using the area for
organized recreational use, and they felt the same way as he. He developed a questionnaire and asked
others for their opinion on whether they wanted a Frisbee Golf Course or not. Not one person said
yes. Mr. Accetturo stated his objections as little parking space, no restrooms, and a wetlands area
which could be destroyed by up to 50 people per day criss-crossing through.
Ron Weimer, 33627 55`h Ave. S., Auburn, said that he was one of the people that had come to the
City asking for a course. The Lake Fenwick Park area was researched and deemed an ideal spot. The
paths were already there, and removing the blackberry bushes was the only thing needed. He said
people play in the evenings or on weekends. There are portable bathrooms '/z mile away and running
water is not necessary. The course would enhance the park. Seventeen year old Jereme Weimer
added that disc golf is a positive sport for kids and males aged 17-25 years old.
Don Jones, 3519 S. 262"d St, Kent, said he lives across the street from Lou Accetturo, and he is
opposed as there is not enough parking. Also, kids like to play there and they could get hit by a
flying Frisbee; small animals such as snakes and amphibians could be crushed by the players. Rico
Yingling asked Mr. Jones if he was concerned about transients in the area. He said no, but that kids
Parks Committee, 5/18/99 3
do have their beer parties in the area and sometimes get rowdy. He was concerned that the golf
baskets could get torn out.
Cindy Reegie, 23921 100`h Ave. SE, Kent, said her husband is a Frisbee Golf person and he plays
almost every week-end at another course. A lot of sites were looked at in Kent and most were being
used for other purposes. Lake Fenwick Park is an overgrown, natural area with lots of trees which
adds to the challenges of the game.
Rita Bailie, 20607 101'` Ave. SE, Kent, said she had visited Lake Fenwick Park and it is an
enchanting place with old growth trees and songbirds. She said the blackberries and nettle are habitat
ildlife and urged the Committee to keep the area natural.
for amphibians and other w
Rico Yingling asked about funding for the course. Lori Flemm said some funding had been received
several years ago from King County with $2,000 still available. King County had not originally
opposed the use of the funds for the golf course, but after the neighborhood opposition, asked the
Department not to use those funds. Ms. Flemm said there are other funds available in the Capital
Improvement Plan.
Responding to Mr. Accetturo's comments, Perry Brooks said the course area is 50 feet away from the
wetlands and existing trails will be utilized. The gravel parking area seems to be large enough as it is
adequate for 10-12 cars. Judy Woods asked what the total size of the area was and how much would
be used for the course. Mr. Brooks said it was 40 acres with three and one half acres to be used for
the park. Ms. Flemm said that the area is considered bird habitat, but she does not see removing the
blackberries as impacting that habitat. Every blackberry bush will not be removed, only those along
the trail. She said the Department feels the site will be improved for bird habitat with the addition of
native vegetation, and there will be no negative impact on other wildlife.
Mr. Accetturo presented a citizens' questionnaire petition to the Committee. Rico Yingling moved
that the petition be made part of the public record. The motion was seconded by Connie Epperly and
carried 3-0.
Chair Judy Woods asked that the subject be brought back to the next Parks Committee meeting.
Kent Downtown Partnership Report
The Kent Downtown Partnership Report was presented to the Committee by Director Linda Johnson.
The meeting was adjourned at 5:41 PM.

Approval of Minutes of April 27, 1999
Committee Member Tom Brotherton moved to approve the minutes of April 27, 1999. The motion
was seconded by Committee Member Sandy Amodt and carried 3-0.
Acceptance of Grant Money for Trauma Equipment
Fire Chief Norm Angelo said the Fire Department is eligible to receive $1,200 in grant money that
may be used for trauma equipment and the Department is proposing to use the funds to purchase
backboards. He said there is always a need for more backboards due to the increase in patients and
the rotation of backboards which can end up lost or in other facilities.
Tom Brotherton moved that this item be placed on the consent calendar for the June 8, 1999
Council Meeting, recommending that the grant funds in the amount of$1,200 received from the
State of Washington be accepted and that the Fire Department be authorized to apply said
funds towards the purchase of nine backboards. The motion was seconded by Sandy Amodt
and carried 3-0.
Acceptance of Grant Funding and City Share Obligation —COPS Universal Officers
Police Chief Ed Crawford asked for approval of the Federal grant application of$150,000 for two
additional COPS Universal Officers. The Federal government, through the COPS program, will pay
$75,000 for each officer for the first three years. The officers must be kept in the Police Department
for four years and additional costs born by the City.
Sandy Amodt moved that the Public Safety Committee recommend to the Council acceptance
of a $150,000 grant for two additional COPS Universal Officers and approval of the City's
share of the funding through the year 2002. The motion was seconded by Tom Brotherton and
carried 3-0.
Gambling Ordinance
City Attorney Roger Lubovich presented a new draft ordinance with changes to the tax section of the
Gambling Tax Code to allow for the 1999 legislation that reduced bingo and raffle taxes from 10% to
5% effective January 2000. On Page 3, Section 1 of the ordinance, changes were made for
consistency to make the language mirror the State statute language. Page 4, Paragraph D prohibits
social card room activities that are conducted as a commercial stimulant. Any facility operating an
enhanced card room as part of a food and drink establishment would be prohibited. Charitable or
non-profit organizations would be exempt. Also exempt would be existing facilities that were in
operation and duly licensed with the Gambling Commission on February 2, 1999, which was the
Public Safety Committee, 5/25199 2
effective date of the moratorium the Council placed on applications for this type of card room
facility.
This ordinance, as opposed to the earlier version presented at the April 13, 1999 Public Safety
Committee meeting that increased the tax from 10% to 20% for social card game operations,
proposes to leave the tax at 10%. Also, the language was removed regarding the prohibition of after-
hours operations from 2:00-6:00A.M. The Mayor's Office has released the opposition to the after-
hours operations of the City's existing card room casino, Ruby's Casino, by sending a letter to the
Liquor Control Board to release the earlier request that Ruby's not be allowed to operate after-hours.
This one existing facility would be allowed to amortize their investment by operating as a full,
enhanced facility, after-hours, without an increase in tax, until March 1, 2004. Adoption of the
ordinance would terminate the existing moratorium placed by the Council on February 2, 1999.
Tom Brotherton moved that the Public Safety Committee recommend to the Council approval
of the proposed ordinance prohibiting social card games conducted as a commercial stimulant.
Sandy Amodt seconded the motion and it carried 3-0.
Contractual Relationship with King County Fire District#40
Fire Chief Norm Angelo explained that the Kent Fire Department had been exploring the possibility
of providing Fire and Life Safety services to King County Fire Protection District#40 which is
located adjacent to Kent's current northern service boundary. Goals were to do a thorough analysis
for the potential of a range of cooperative functional relationships in addition to the full contract
concept. _
After research on needed operational/capital upgrades and related costs, the Commissioners of Fire
District #40 determined that the capital costs for a full contractual agreement were too significant to
finance at this time and instead chose to incrementally address their capital and operational needs.
They have expressed a desire for some functional contractual relationships such as training and
apparatus maintenance. Mutual benefits would be derived from such a functional relationship since
mutual aid is currently provided between the two entities.
Coverage for the North Benson area is a matter still to be resolved, but the positive relationship
between Kent and King County Fire Protection District#40 should continue to serve the citizens
well. Both departments are looking at computer systems and software that would keep them
compatible with each other.
The meeting was adjourned at 6:03PM.
