$240 , 000 has been made for the property located on
the northwest corner of the corridor and 108th.
He asked that Council approve the sale. WOODS SO
MOVED. Orr seconded and the motion carried.

noted that Council authorization is required to
sell the property at the southwest corner of the

Administration to approve the sale . Epperly
seconded and the motion carried.
FEES (OTHER BUSINESS - ITEM 7B)
Continuation Of School Impact Fees. The City
Council recently updated its Comprehensive Plan to
include the Capital Facilities Plans of the Kent

updated the School Impact Fee Schedules for these
school districts . The School Impact Fee Program,
5
Kent City Council Minutes November 16, 1999
FEES however, expires on March 31, 2000 . The proposed
ordinance would repeal the sunset provisions of
the School Impact Fee Program.
AMODT MOVED that the sunset provision not be
removed and be left as is for voter approval in
March 2000 . Epperly seconded. Clark spoke in
opposi-tion to the motion, noting that this
program is primarily aimed at new housing and is
caused by the increase in population. Orr stated
that she is opposed to the motion and that the
public demanded this impact fee. Epperly agreed
with Orr. Amodt said that the impact fees will
not help with class size or education, and that
the voters should be trusted to make the decision.
Clark noted that the City has no control over the
number of students in a classroom, but does have a
responsibility to see that all students have a
seat . The motion failed with only Amodt in favor.
WOODS MOVED to adopt Ordinance No. 3484 repealing
the sunset provisions of the School Impact Fee
Program. Orr seconded and the motion carried with
Amodt opposed.
(OTHER BUSINESS - ITEM 7E)
Water Rate Adiustment. The Mayor noted that the
Public Works and Planning Committee has recom-
mended adoption of an ordinance increasing the
City' s water rate fees . Public Works Director
Wickstrom noted that the committee was interested
in some revisions . He displayed a map outlining
the city limits and noted that the entire city is
not serviced. He explained that the issue is the
water supply. He noted that the system is a good
one, but that there is no additional supply. He
then explained the history of the water supply and
the current situation. Wickstrom stated that a
new agreement would imple-ment a second supply
project which would be paid for over a thirty-year
period. He displayed an overhead showing system
development charges and explained the proposed
rate change .
6
- Kent City Council Minutes November 16, 1999
FEES Upon Brotherton' s request, Wickstrom explained
that Clark Springs, one of the City' s principle
sources, is affected by the Endangered Species
Act . McFall clarified that if the Tacoma water
source is not secured, some type of a moratorium
would be triggered, resulting in an over-committed
situation, a loss of revenue, a reduction in
staffing and service levels, and an impact on the
revenue bond capacity. Amodt noted that the new
proposal is for a 15 . 8% increase rather than
39 .2%, and asked which other funds could be used
for water. McFall explained how utility improve-
ments and operations are normally funded and said
there is no prohibition against utilization of
General Fund and Capital Improvement Funds
revenues, but that other activities and projects
would be impacted. Upon Brotherton' s question
regarding the use of General Fund revenues on this
particular project, McFall emphasized that funds
shown in the budget, such as $15 , 000 , 000 for a
performing arts center, are not actually available
because they are based on things such as fund
raising and voter-approved bond issues . He said
operating expenses and other funded capital pro-
jects would have to be looked at, as well as a
variety of other sources . He pointed out that
other utility funds of the city could not be used.
CLARK MOVED to adopt Ordinance No. 3486
authorizing an increase in the City' s water rate
as reflected in theinew document distributed
tonight and as per the discussion just held.
Brotherton seconded. Epperly spoke in opposition
to the motion, stating that even though the
project is needed, citizens have the right to make
the decision. Clark thanked the citizens for
their input and agreed that there is conflict . He
said the Council must look at the future and if
this commitment is not made, an immediate negative
impact on the community is triggered. AMODT MOVED
to amend the motion by remanding back to zero the
increase of the City water rate fees section of
the budget which includes tax and fee increases to
Kent residents, businesses and developers, and
7
Kent City Council Minutes November 16, 1999
FEES sending it back to staff to reprioritize funds
from non-essential services such as parks and arts
to essential services such as water, police, fire,
public works and planning. This was not agreeable
to the maker of the motion and therefore the
motion died. AMODT OFFERED A SUBSTITUTE MOTION to
not increase the City water rate fees at all .
Epperly seconded. Clark opined that this is
inappropriate.
Barbara Ivanov, Executive Director of the Chamber
of Commerce, 524 W. Meeker, thanked the Council
for fiscal responsibility shown in the past, and
expressed concern about large tax shifts from one
special group to another. Wickstrom responded to
Ivanov' s questions regarding system development
charges . George Smith, 9505 S . 241st Street, said
the second tier of the two tier schedule should
start a bit higher than the average usage . John
Saunders, 25609 29th Avenue South, asked how those
on Highline water would be affected, and Wickstrom
said that the heavy user will be impacted most .
Bill Young, 1005 E. Guiberson Street, agreed that
the project is necessary and suggested cutting
other projects as well as the Parks Department,
and using those funds . Ron Harmon, 20627 95th
Avenue South, noted that Soos Creek water is more
expensive than Kent ' s and urged citizens to
determine which district they are in.
Jim Flick, Kent, referred to page I-23 in the
budget, and suggested putting the difference in
rates in abeyance. Don Baer urged the Council to
look at the costs of managing this program in
Kent, not at the costs in other cities, and voiced
concern about paying for new development . Lily
Whitson, East Hill, suggested stopping building so
that more water is not needed. Donna Young agreed
with Whitson, saying resources should be con-
served. She suggested using the open space and
empty buildings already existing. Charlie Kieffer
spoke about storing the water in an impoundment
reservoir and said that the City' s Comprehensive
Plan needs to be revisited because there are
8
Kent City Council Minutes November 16, 1999
FEES conflicting elements . Upon a question from Bret
Sherman, Orr explained that there is enough water
for the existing residents of Kent . When Sherman
asked about property on 124th, Wickstrom noted
that that is the location for the impoundment
reservoir. Sherman said there should be a vote of
the people on this issue.
Joe Rubio suggested deferring the remodel of the
Centennial Building, and spending money on water
rather than property acquisition. Jeff Wiaainton,
Kent, said any needs must be prioritized with
income, and if water is the most important, some-
thing else should be cut . He said the citizens
don' t need to vote on every item, only when
there is a shortfall . Bret Sherman submitted a
petition. ORR MOVED to make the petition a part
of the public record. Epperly seconded and the
motion carried. Tod Stewart, East Hill, opined
that with more thought the Council and staff could
finance the project . Ted KoQita, said the Mayor
and Council are being smug and cruel . Mayor White
explained for John Saunders of West Hill that the
shortfall amounts to $1 million to the General
Fund, $1 million to transportation and $200 , 000 to
Public Safety, which is 2% of the budget . Eric
Crispin, East Hill , said there had not been enough
notice and that the decision should be postponed
until there is more input . Leah Gaskill, 1510
Maple Lane, asked that the budget be redone and
brought back to the next Council meeting for
input . She also suggested conserving water by
using rain water. Jim Flick suggested voting on
all items affecting the budget at one time . Mayor
White explained that they must be voted on
separately.
Upon a roll call vote, Amodt ' s substitute motion
to have no water fee increase failed with Amodt
and Epperly in favor and Brotherton, Clark, Orr,
Woods and Yingling opposed.
Orr expressed appreciation for the input and
concern about the impacts of the new rates to the
9
Kent City Council Minutes November 16, 1999
FEES business community and homeowners . She added that
the new proposal was received just prior to this
meeting and most people haven' t seen it .
The main motion to adopt water rate fees as
amended then carried 4-3 , with Brotherton, Clark,
Woods and Yingling in favor and Amodt, Epperly and
Orr opposed.
(OTHER BUSINESS - ITEM 7F)
Sewer Rate Adjustment. The Public Works and
Planning Committee has recommended adoption of an
ordinance which will increase the City' s sewer
rate fees . The Public Works Director stated that
the total proposal is an approximate 6 . 3% increase
in the sewer rate, the bulk of which is related to
a pass-through Metro rate . He added that there is
a 2 . 9% increase in the City' s rate to compensate
for an expected shortfall in the construction of
the East Hill Interceptor project which would
relieve the sewerage overflow problem. He said
that if the City did not pass the Metro sewer
rates on to the citizens, the reserves in the
existing funds would be eaten up.
CLARK MOVED to adopt Ordinance No. 3487 authoriz-
ing an increase in the City' s sewer rate fees .
Brotherton seconded. Clark acknowledged that this
is a burden on the taxpayers but that the infra-
structure has to be taken care of . The motion
then carried with Amodt opposed.
(OTHER BUSINESS - ITEM 7G)
Drainage Rate Adjustment. The Public Works and
Planning Committee has recommended adoption of an
ordinance which will increase the City' s drainage
rate fees . Public Works Director Wickstrom ex-
plained that this is limited to the Socs Creek
Basin. Epperly clarified that this does not
affect the entire city, only those in the Meridian
Annexation. Orr pointed out that the rate is
lower than King County' s and that residents will
see improvements .
10
Kent City Council Minutes November 16, 1999
FEES CLARK MOVED to adopt Ordinance No . 3488 authoriz-
ing an increase in the City' s drainage rate fees .
Brotherton seconded and the motion carried with
Amodt opposed.
(OTHER BUSINESS - ITEM 7H)
Reveal of Street Utility Tax Sunset Provisions.
Pursuant to Section 3 . 18 . 020 of the Kent City
Code, a tax of one percent (1%) of utility taxes
assessed is dedicated to City street improve-
ment programs . This interim tax expires on
December 31, 2006 . The proposed ordinance would
repeal the sunset provisions of the utility tax
relating to street improvements .
Wickstrom outlined which projects are funded by
this tax and explained the implications of the
proposed ordinance. He noted that if there were a
one-year extension, work on the S . 228th corridor
_ could continue and more would be known about
Initiative 695 . He added that changing the date
from 2006 to 2007 would take care of an upcoming
concurrency issue . Mayor White expressed concern
about cutting the transportation program. CLARK
MOVED to adopt Ordinance No. 3489 amending Section
3 . 18 . 020 of the Kent City Code relating to an
interim tax for street improvements by extending
the sunset provisions for street improvements for
one year. Woods seconded. Clark said the long
term impacts are to destroy the six-year con-
currency required under the Growth Management Act
and if funding resources are not available, it
undercuts keeping some of the major improvements
under way. McFall noted that Sound Transit has
funding in their 2000 budget to fund their portion
of the parking, and that the City would have to
look at other sources of supporting the garage.
Brotherton noted that citizens would be able to
vote on this in 2007 and spoke in favor of the
extension. Epperly was opposed to the extension,
noting that it is still six years away. Orr spoke
in support of the extension, noting that it could
be altered later.
11
Kent City Council Minutes November 16, 1999
FEES The motion then carried with Amodt and Epperly
opposed.
Mayor White requested that a meeting be scheduled
in January with the Chamber of Commerce Board of
Directors and the business community to address
the issue of how to fund the 228th corridor.
(OTHER BUSINESS - ITEM 71)
Public Works Improvement Plan Review and
Inspection Fees. This ordinance increases the
City' s fee for public works improvement plan
review and inspection fees from four percent (4%)
to six percent (6%) . If the developer elects to
hire an outside consultant to conduct the plan
review work, the fee remains at four percent (4%) .
Public Works Director Wickstrom noted that this
item was supported by the Public Works and
Planning Committee and explained which fees
would be included. He clarified that outside con-
sultants can be used and that the fee would then
be four percent .
CLARK MOVED to adopt Ordinance No. 3490 increas-
ing public works improvement plan review and
inspection fees to six percent, as specified.
Brotherton seconded and the motion carried.
(OTHER BUSINESS - ITEM 7J)
Fire, Building Codes And Fireworks Fee Schedule.
The City Council has, by Resolution 1511,
previously adopted a schedule of fees for permits
under the Uniform Building Code, the Uniform
Mechanical Code, the Uniform Plumbing Code, and
the Uniform Fire Code . The proposed Resolution

date those fees with other related Fire Code fees,
and establish uniform hourly rates as set forth in

ing to fireworks removes the established fireworks

FINANCE (PUBLIC HEARINGS - ITEM 5A)
Year 2000 Budget and Tax Levy. This is the
third public hearing on the Year 2000 Budget and
the first on the Property Tax Levy. The 2000
Preliminary Budget is in balance and totals
approximately $120, 945, 678 . Adoption is scheduled
for the December 14 , 1999 Council meeting.
Finance Director Miller noted that since new
construction figures came in higher, the property
tax levy could be reduced to 0% over the highest
allowable levy since 1986 . She displayed a graph
showing property taxes over the last four years
and noted that the City' s portion of the property
tax bill has been coming down. At the Mayor' s
request, Miller explained that citizens ' property
tax bills can go up even though the City has
lowered the bill because the tax is collected by
King County who gives a portion (20W) to the City.
She added that the City has control only over the
rate of collection, and that the County Assessor
determines the value of houses . She confirmed for
Amodt that there will be 0% increase over the
amount the City is allowed to assess, and that the
City may still receive more money because of new
construction and increased valuation. McFall
15
Kent City Council Minutes November 16, 1999
FINANCE clarified that the property tax is based upon
assessed value of individual properties and the
City has no control over that .
Miller explained that City departments have been
working on ways to meet the intent of Initiative
695, and that they will be discussed at upcoming
Operations Committee meetings .
Mayor White opened the public hearing. Joe Rubio,
West Hill, requested that staff over go the budget
again and redo it to be I-695 compliant . Charlie
Kieffer, East Hill, suggested hiring more
attorneys, as the Legal Department is very busy.
He noted that the City has grown considerably and
that the Legal Department has not grown accord-
ingly. Upon a request from Jim Flick of Kent, the
budget process was explained. Flick opined that
the process should be changed.
Bret Sherman, 27026 124th Avenue SE, Kent, said
the budget contains increases and that the message
of I-695 is to reduce spending. He suggested that
the Council reject the budget and work with the
community. Upon a question from Lawrence Osborne,
4122 S . 240th Street, it was noted that 2% of the
budget is affected by I-695 . Duncan Anderson,
25838 68th Avenue SE, urged the Council to trim
the fat . Bill Young, 1005 E. Guiberson Street,
said much money could be cut from the budget and
that the Performing Arts Center property could be
sold for $2 . 5 million and the money used for water
and sewer projects or employees for the Legal
Department and the Police Department .
Don Baer, 918 E. Laurel, stated that the City
currently has too many employees and that a
Performing Arts Center is not needed. Daniel
Cottrell, 822 E. Chicago Street, said the budget
has enough money to fund I-695 shortfalls . He was
opposed to cutting services while funding a
Performing Arts Center, and said the City is
ignoring the will of the people. Steve Johnson,
State Legislator, urged the Council not to raise
16
Kent City Council Minutes November 16, 1999
FINANCE taxes within the next 45 days, to scrub the budget
for the next 45 days and see if there is room to
do important projects such as water, and if not,
submit it to the people . John Perry, 14150 152nd
Place SE, Renton, urged the Council to reject the
ordinances eliminating the sunset provisions of
the school impact fees and the street utility
because they would eliminate the chance for people
to vote on them.
Donna Young, East Hill, displayed page I-29 of the
Budget Summary and read the following letter from
many citizens to the Council, Mayor and staff :
"We, the citizens of Kent, supported and voted for
Initiative 695 because we believe our government
has become too large and is not spending our tax
dollars where they are needed. We believe that
the only way to reduce the size of our government
and its control over our lives is to reduce its
funding. Nothing else has worked in the past . As
you are aware, on November 2nd the people of the
State of Washington and the City of Kent sent a
clear message to reduce our state and city funding
by passing 695 . We do not want any more taxes
imposed upon us without voter approval . Do you
really believe that the citizens who elected you
to represent them in a position of trust would
approve of your intent to levy new taxes before
January when 695 becomes effective? If you vote
to approve these city increases, you are, in our
eyes, circumventing the will of the people and the
spirit of 695 . You are clearly ignoring the
message we have sent you. We have empowered you
for many years to make decisions for us and as a
result we have received higher price tags for
services, lower response times, and at times, no
response . Is this how a business would survive in
the private sector? Absolutely not . Those
businesses would go out of business . You, the
City of Kent, have claimed that Kent cares, and
want to have a responsible and effective govern-
ment . Increasing our costs will not achieve that
goal . The citizens of this community have
17
Kent City Council Minutes November 16, 1999
FINANCE empowered you with their votes and entrusted you
with the welfare of this city. The city means us,
the voters . We make up the city, not the city
government . We pay the bills, not the city
government . You represent us, not the city
government . Please remember that we will not
forget the decisions made here tonight . We want
essential services provided for first, not cut, so
that we can make the extra unessential fluff such
as arts programs . Those programs only benefit the
few. Since you are spending our money, we are
informing you that we prefer to pay for the Senior
Shopper Shuttle at $70, 000 a year which I notice
has been cut on page I-45 of the preliminary
budget, yet on page I-51, you have allotted
$15, 090, 000 for a Performing Arts Center of which
we are presently paying $80, 000 a year to a
director for this performing arts center that
isn' t even in existence yet . You do the math.
Our seniors need to be able to get to the store
for food and medication before they need per-
forming arts centers . Now we are asking you to
listen to our wishes as the taxpayers and
customers of the services . We are capable of
making decisions for the good of our own com-
munities and we are choosing to keep more of our
hard-earned dollars . In the 2000 preliminary
budget, there are several imposed rate increases
due to the 695 passing. To name a few which will
affect homeowners, businesses and apartment
renters, you are opting to raise our water by
39 . 2%, sewer by 6 . 1%, storm drainage by 260% and
children' s athletics by 165% . Garbage is up and
much more. What you are actually taking from us
is our time from our families . We either have to
work more hours to recapture those dollars lost to
Kent government, or cut back in our personal
budgets . It has always been the taxpayers who
have had to cut back while the government has
become bigger and bigger, demanding more and more
of our money. We are the customers, therefore we
are asking you to stop raising our taxes and costs
for essential services so you can allocate funds
from those service accounts to fund accounts of
18
Kent City Council Minutes November 16, 1999
FINANCE your choice where you are falling short . You must
stop putting the governments wants before the
citizens needs . The biggest problem is that the
citizens do not know what is happening because the
government does not inform them. I urge every
citizen here to seek out the truth and to share it
with everyone you know that will be affected
because they all have the right to know. The more
of you that become involved now before the nega-
tive impact, the better chance we all have of
making Kent a better place . Thank you for your
attention. "
Ted Kogita, West Hill, suggested splitting the
water and sewer on the bill and said he has gotten
conflicting reports on property.

be spent. The agreement, which has been signed by Sound Transit, is attached.
Staff recommends that Council authorize the Mayor to sign the interlocal agreement with
Sound Transit.

Station in the City, and to ensure that the Parties' shared goals are met and that the Commuter
Rail Station is developed on schedule and within budget; and
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and assurances set forth herein, it
is mutually agreed as follows:
II. TERMS AND CONDITIONS
A. Project Description. The Parties agree on the following project description: The
Parking Garage will be located on 2.4 acres on the northwest comer of Smith Street and First
Avenue in downtown Kent. Preliminary plans for the Parking Garage show a total of 680
2
parking spaces in three levels with 4,650 square feet of retail space at the ground floor. The _
remaining 131 parking spaces will be provided at the station in surface parking lots. The three-
level parking garage will be approximately 36 feet high, with elevator towers extending to
approximately 43 feet. Access to and from the garage for vehicles will be by means of a
driveway from Second Avenue extending from Smith Street, and from a driveway on the north
side of the garage from Temperance Street. Access to and from the garage for pedestrians will
be by means of two entryways/stairwells, one on the First Avenue side, at the northeast comer of
the structure, and the other on the Smith Street side on the southwest comer of the structure.
Parking for persons with disabilities will be provided on the ground floor of the garage to allow
for barrier-free access to the platforms at the commuter rail station.
B. Property Acquisition and Ownership. Sound Transit will acquire by purchase
and/or condemnation all property necessary for the development of the Parking Garage at the
Commuter Rail Station. Sound Transit will thereafter own, operate, and maintain the same at its
own cost and expense.
C. City Funding. The City will pay Sound Transit the sum of Four Million Dollars
(S4,000,000.00) toward the design and development of the Parking Garage at the Commuter Rail
Station which will contain 680 or more parking stalls. The remaining parking spaces required
are to be developed as surface parking (using the alternative location identified by Sound Transit
and the City, and the design configuration developed pursuant to section G, below).
D. Sound Transit Funding. The 1998 budget adopted for Sound Move includes
$6.7 million (YOE) for development of a downtown City of Kent Commuter Rail Station. This
budget amount covers all development costs, including administration, environmental review,
staff costs, design, property acquisition and relocation costs, in addition to construction,
mitigation and contingencies for the Commuter Rail Station site. The Commuter Rail Station
project as proposed and budgeted by Sound Transit contains only surface parking. It does not
include a Parking Garage as part of the project. The City has requested, and Sound Transit has
agreed, by board action (Motion No. 98-43) on June 11, 1998, to provide a Parking Garage for at
least 500 parking spaces of the parking at the Commuter Rail Station.
E. Timing of City Payment. The City will pay Sound Transit for the cost of the
Parking Garage (as determined in subsection C above) in two installments. The first installment
consisting of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) will be paid to Sound Transit within 30 days
of the issuance of a building permit for the construction of all or any portion of the Parking
Garage. The second installment of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) will be paid upon
completion of the Parking Garage and the issuance of a certificate of occupancy.
Notwithstanding the City's financial contribution to the development of the Parking Garage,
Sound Transit will be the sole owner and operator of the Parking Garage, subject to the terms of
this Agreement.
F. Parking Garage Use. Sound Transit and the City agree that, in conjunction with
commuter rail use, the Parking Garage may also be used by the City for parking by the general
public for non-rail purposes, subject to terms and conditions to be established by a later use
agreement to be developed by the Parties. The Parties anticipate that the use agreement will
3
allow for such non-rail commuter uses as parking for performances at a performing arts center or
use by local Kent Market patrons. The Parties also anticipate that parking in the Parking Garage
will initially be free to all users of the facility. Sound Transit's policy regarding parking fees is
yet to be determined and will be addressed in the future use agreement to be mutually developed
and agreed upon by both parties.
G. Garage Design. Sound Transit will solicit and consider from the City input as to
the design size and features (such as ground floor retail) of the Parking Garage. City and public
input regarding design may be received directly or through the Technical Advisory Committee
process. Sound Transit will provide for the City's review complete sets of design and
engineering plans for the Parking Garage at 30%, 60% and 90% completion. Sound Transit is
ultimately responsible for determining the size and design of the Parking Garage with approval
by the City as to final design, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld. Sound Transit
recognizes that the City has a formal Downtown design review process pursuant to KCC
15.09.048 and that the Parking Garage will be subject to that process.
H. Environmental Review. Sound Transit prepared a supplemental Environmental
Assessment (EA) for the Parking Garage to comply with the requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act and adopted that EA to comply with its obligations as lead agency for
the project under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). The City acknowledges that
environmental review for the parking garage has been completed under SEPA given the
information presently before it, and that unless additional review is deemed necessary pursuant
to WAC 197-11-600(3)(b)(ii), no further environmental review is required.
I. Permits and Approvals. Sound Transit will be responsible for obtaining all
permits and approvals necessary to construct and operate the Parking Garage. Consistent with
the Project Interlocal Agreement previously executed between the Parties, the City agrees to
expedite the process for reviewing the permits for the Parking Garage and Commuter Rail
Station. The City also agrees not to assess Sound Transit any additional fees (other than those
allowed in the City's fee schedule) for the City's expedited review.
J. Mixed Use. Sound Transit and the City agree to analyze the feasibility of
including a retail component as a nixed use to the Parking Garage. Sound Transit will have the
final decision on whether or not to provide for retail use. If mixed used is provide for in the
Parking Garage, Sound Transit will have the sole right to revenues generated from that use and
may use such revenues to offset operating costs or for other purposes.
K. Street, right-of-way and easements. The Parties anticipate that vacation of City
streets, rights-of-way, or easements may be necessary to provide appropriate site(s) for the
Parking Garage. Expedited submittal and review of vacation petitions will therefore be critical
to keeping the project on schedule. Consistent with the Project Interlocal Agreement between
the Parties, the City reaffirms its commitment to coordinate and facilitate an expedited process
for any necessary street vacations. The City agrees that it will not charge Sound Transit extra for
such expedited review; however, the City may charge its standard fees, costs, or expenses, if any,
that may apply to street vacations pursuant to City policies.
4
L. Grant application -joint sponsorship. Sound Transit and the City agree that it
may be in the Parties' interest to jointly apply for grant funding for development or enhancement
of the Commuter Rail Station (including the parking garage). Where the Parties determine that
such joint application is appropriate, Sound Transit and the City will join in the sponsorship of
the grant application on such terms, if any, as the Parties later establish. All funds received as a
result of such a joint application will be used for development or enhancement of the Commuter
Rail Station and related improvements, as agreed upon by Sound Transit and the City. In the
case of grant funds applicable to the development or enhancement of the station for which only
one of the parties is eligible, the other party agrees to indicate its support of the other party's
grant application in a timely and appropriate manner.
III. MISCELLANEOUS
A. Dispute Resolution. Sound Transit and the City shall use their best efforts to
resolve disputes and issues arising out of or related to the tasks covered by this Agreement
consistent with the dispute resolution process set out in this Agreement between the Parties.
Disagreements will be resolved promptly and at the lowest level of hierarchy. If such processes
do not resolve a dispute, the Parties will rely on mediation in a format similar to the following
and as agreed upon by the Parties.
1. The Designated Representatives, as identified in the Project Interlocal
Agreement, shall communicate regularly to discuss the status of the activities covered under this _
agreement and to resolve any issues or disputes related to the successful performance of this
Agreement. The Designated Representatives will cooperate in providing staff support to
facilitate the performance of this Agreement and the resolution of any issues or disputes arising

Sound Transit Commuter Rail Director and the Mayor of the City or their designees shall meet
and engage in good faith negotiations to resolve the dispute.
4. The parties agree that they shall have no right to seek relief under this
Agreement in a court of law until and unless each of the above procedural steps is exhausted.
B. Fully Executed. This Agreement is effective when fully executed following
approval by each party's respective governing body. This agreement may be executed in
duplicate originals.

MEMORANDUM
December 13, 1999
TO: Public Works/Planning Committee
FROM: Don Wickstroraow
RE: Proposed L.I.D. No. 351
277`h Street Corridor
(Auburn Way to Kent Kangley Road)
December 13, 1999 has been scheduled for the public hearing on the formation of the Local Improvement
District (LID) for this project.
The Public Works Department is proposing the formation of a L.I.D. No. 351 for the S. 277`h Street
Corridor Project("Project'). During the past 15 years a number of Environmental Mitigation Agreements
(EMA) have been executed by developing properties to participate in the funding of the Project. Payment
for some of these agreements is now due and others will become due in the future. The L.I.D. will provide
the property owner the ability to make payment over a 15-year period of time rather than as one lump sum
upon the due date under an EMA. The L.I.D. will also benefit the City in that the funding from all of the
EMAs will be available now to help fund the Project. As you may know, construction on the Project is
nearly completed.
BACKGROUND
The 277`h Corridor has been actively planned for nearly 20 years. The valley cities, including Auburn and
Kent, and King County, forecasted the need for this arterial corridor as additional growth in the East Hill
Soos Creek plateau area and in other parts of the City required the need for additional arterials to connect
the plateau area with the SR-167/I-5 corridors. Congestion on existing arterials also required new road
capacity. Environmental review work on the Project began in earnest over a decade ago. During this time,
a number of new developments were proposed in the area, most of which have been built with residents
occupying these developments today. These developments were conditioned on this road improvement
Project being built within a short period of time to accommodate the additional traffic. Following
environmental review of the Project and permitting through the various State and Federal levels,
construction work began on the Project several years ago. Because of the size of the Project, it could not
be completed in one construction season but is nearing completion at this time.
-1-
50142746.01
In order to completely fund the construction, the City proceeded with the L.I.D. formation to secure the
required EMA participation. During November 1998, notices were sent to the affected property owners
and two meetings were held regarding the EMAs, the L.I.D. and the alternative for traffic studies under
an EMA. The EMAs provided a process for the property owner to adjust the pre-developed estimated peak
trip figure shown in the EMA by submitting a traffic study for the developed property.
As a result of the November notices, citizen concerns were raised about the use of EMAs as a means to
mitigate the traffic impact of new developments. In February of 1999, City Council formulated a task force
comprised of nine members representing different community interest perspectives to review the use of
EMAs. Their conclusion, which was presented to Council at their October workshop, was in essence to
continue with their use.
The City Council passed Resolution No. 1558 on November 16, 1999 setting the public hearing date for
December 13, 1999, before the Public Works Committee.
On November 17, 1999, another informational property owner meeting was held to fiuther discuss payment
of the EMAs and the L.I.D. formation.
PROJECT IMPROVEMENTS
The Project consists of a new five lane arterial which extends from Auburn Way North (East Valley
Highway) eastward up the hill to Kent Kangley Road at 116`h Avenue. The Project also includes a new
bridge crossing over the Green River and a 1081h Avenue S.E. bridge/overpass. The five lanes of the
Project include three climbing lanes on the hillside portion and two descending lanes. Once the arterial
reaches the plateau, the roadway shifts to two lanes in each direction plus a two way left turn lane in the
center. The Project includes street lights along the majority of the route as well as sidewalks on both sides
of the arterial, and a bike path from 108th Avenue to the Green River Road area. The bike path will follow
a separate route up the hill and will have a separate bridge that has already been constructed. The Project
also provides a connection to 108`h Avenue SE via two off/on ramps at the 108`h Avenue bridge overpass.
The work includes a new storm drainage system and landscaping.
The City of Auburn is working on a westerly extension of the Project from Auburn Way North to SR-167.
Although the City of Auburn has nearly completed the design of their project, Auburn is still planning for
full funding of that segment.
Once completed the Kent portion of the 2771h Corridor (Auburn Way North to Kent Kangley Road) will
alleviate traffic conditions on Kent Kangley, Canyon Drive and provide East Hill commuters with another
route from East Hill to SR-167 and I-5. West Hill traffic will more easily move from east to west. This
first phase of the Project is to be opened for traffic at the end of this coming January.
50142746 01
FUNDING/ASSESSMENTS
These are various funding sources for this Project.
Approximate Dollars
City funds 14.5 million
TIB (gas tax) 6.4 million
Paid EMAs 2.1 million
Proposed L.I.D. 351 7.23 million
Total 30.23 million
L.I.D. assessments are based on a property's contract (EMA) obligation. In most cases each EMA
traffic/trip mitigation is fixed at$1068 adjusted for inflation to the current date. For several special cases
the contract obligation and resulting assessment vaned. The preliminary assessment roll total is
$7,229,477.60.
In accordance with the EMAs, each property owner was given notice last year regarding the option to
commission a traffic study to adjust the originally specified peak trip number as shown in the EMA Some
properties responded with the study and received an adjusted number. [Some residences with one peak
trip were able to demonstrate zero peak trips and were deleted from the L.I.D.]
SUPPORT FOR L.I.D. 351
While there were numerous information meetings conducted by the City, we did not poll the property
owners. The only properties included in the L.I.D. are those with EMA agreements. These properties,
through the EMAs, have agreed not to protest the formation of an L.I.D. Therefore we have 100 percent
support for the L.I.D. However, some of the agreements have exceeded their 10-year life. Therefore the
10-year commitment not to protest an L.I.D. has expired and some have not requested an extension of the
agreement. These properties could protest the L.I.D. formation. However, without the L.I.D. the
property's obligation would be triggered, and payment is due in full. The L.I.D. offers a mechanism for
payment over a 15-year period. Some property owners have elected not to be included in the L.I.D. and
have paid the EMA obligation in full. Those include in the L.I.D. are those who have apparently chosen
the L.LD. method for payment.
PAYMENT OF ASSESSMENT
Upon Council passing the Ordinance confirming the Final Assessment Roll (to be scheduled in year 2000),
there is a 30-day period in which any portion or all of the assessment can be paid without interest charges.
After the 30-day period the balance is paid over a fifteen-year period wherein each year's payment is one-
fifteenth of the principal plus interest on the unpaid balance. The interest will be what the market dictates
at the time the bonds are sold.

SECTION 1. The City Council of the City of Kent, Washington (the
"City"), orders and confirms the construction of a new five lane arterial extending from
Auburn Way North (East Valley Highway) eastward up the hill to Kent Kangley Road at
1161h Avenue and related improvements, as more fully described in Exhibit A attached
hereto and by this reference incorporated herein.
All of the foregoing shall be in accordance with the plans and specifications
therefor prepared by the Director of Public Works of the City, and may be modified by the
City Council as long as such modification does not affect the purpose of the improvement.
2 Establish Formation of LID 351
SECTIONZ There is created and established a local improvement district
to be called Local Improvement District No. 351 of the City of Kent, Washington (the
"District'), the boundaries or territorial extent of the District being more particularly
described in Exhibit B attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein.
SECTION 3. The total estimated cost and expense of the improvement is
declared to be $30,000,000, and approximately$22,500,000 of that cost and expense shall

District which embraces as nearly as practicable all property specially benefited by such
improvement.
SECTION 4. In accordance with the provisions of RCW 35.44.047, the
City may use any method or combination of methods to compute assessments which may
be deemed to more fairly reflect the special benefits to the properties being assessed than
the statutory method of assessing the properties.
SECTION 5. Local improvement district warrants may be issued in
payment of the cost and expense of the improvement herein ordered to be assessed, such
warrants to be paid out of the Local Improvement Fund, District No. 351, hereinafter
created and referred to as the Local Improvement Fund, and, until the bonds referred to in
this section are issued and delivered to the purchaser thereof, to bear interest from the date

each month, equal to the interest rate of the State of Washington Local Government
r Investment Pool on the 15th and last day of each month. The initial interest rate on the date
of each interfund loan shall be determined as of the last preceding interest payment
adjustment date.
SECTION 7. In all cases where the work necessary to be done in
connection with the making of such improvement is carried out pursuant to contract upon
competitive bids (and the City shall have and reserves the right to reject any and all bids),
the call for bids shall include a statement that payment for such work will be made in cash
warrants drawn upon the Local Improvement Fund.
SECTION 8. The Local Improvement Fund for the District is created and

MEMORANDUM
November 15, 1999
TO: Public Works/Planning Committee
FROM: Don WickstrorrioJ
RE: Garbage Contracts and Recycling
My attached Oct 27" memo to Brent clearly explains the situation and said situation was also
discussed at the Council's retreat held earlier this year. Since its preparation, the new twist is the
passage of I-695 which raises the issue of whether City approved rates under a contractual
arrangement fall under the voter approval requirement. Since the City's existing garbage hauling
contracts and it recycling and yard waste contract all expire in March of 2001, the cleanest option
would be to get out of the garbage business altogether. We believe that 1-695 places such a cloud
on the validity of the contractor passing on to their customers the annual cost of living increases as
allowed in the contracts, that they will see it to their benefit to terminate the contracts early. Besides
_ the areas served by both is the exact same as approved by WUTC. There should not be a territory
issue like we experienced the last time we got out of the business. The other option would be to get
newly amended contracts in place prior to December 31" , however, 1-695 is not going away. So to
pursue same raises a lot more questions than answers, such as what happens when these new
contracts expire and how long should they be for anyway. With such a short time, can we even
negotiate rates that are fair to the customers. Lastly, will the contracts even withstand an 1-695 legal
challenge or do we even want to be in the position of having to expend funds for the defense of
same. Bottom line is the Public Works Department recommends getting out of the garbage business.
MOTION: Recommend to full Council that the City pursue negotiation with its hauler the
termination of its contracts as soon a possible.

FROM: Don Wickstrom UuJ
RE: Garbage and Recycling Rates
As you know, our existing recycling program for residential customers is paid out of the
Environmental Fund. This fund receives three percentage points of the City's 7.8 percent
garbage tax. Present expenses in the Environmental Fund, (primarily the recycling
program) exceed existing revenues and are being covered by the existing fund reserve
balance, which is being depleted. Currently, there are over 6,300 residential garbage
customers, 84 percent (nearly 5,300 residents) who recycle at a cost to the City of over
$280,000 per year. In January, 2001, when the Meridian annexation area is serviced by
Kent's contracted garbage and recycling hauler, an additional 5,000 residents could sign
up for the recycling program, at a cr$st to the City of an estimated $240,000 per year. The
Environmental Fund does not'have'adequate revenues to support this additional expense.
The City has adopted King Coiuity's Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan,
requiring 65% reduction in the waste-stream by the year 2000. The City of Kent
currently meets this goal, but fail e to maintain the 65% goal could have repercussions
on use of the County landfill.
Attached you will find comparisons of garbage and recycling rates charged to all
residential customers throughout the City of Kent, including the annexed areas. The rates
are broken out for comparison to "garbage only" and "garbage including recycling". The
actual rate charged to customers in the annexed areas, serviced by Meridian Valley
Disposal and Sea-Tac Disposal companies, is the rate which includes recycling (the blue
shaded areas).
50% of Kent residents are under the current garbage and recycling contract with Kent
Disposal. As shown in the chart, the majority of Kent Disposal garbage customers
subscribe to the one can, 32 gallon. 60 gallon or 90 gallon toter service level. Adding the
recvcling fee of $3.36 (32Vgallon toter size) to the garbage fee for Kent Disposal
customers, will result in rate increases of between 15% and 31%. For comparison, the
current garbage rates are shown in yellow, the new garbage rates including the recycling
fee are in green. It should be noted that 69% of Kent Disposal customers currently use
the 90 gallon recycling toter, however this is not available in the annexed areas.
It is our recommendation we change our recycling service to correspond to what is
presently provided in our annexed areas and that we embed the cost therefore into a
single rate for garbage service which includes recvcling whether you use it or not. This
or our agreement with King County per
pro% laing recycling to City residents. It «'ill also be consistent with all other
garbage/recvcling services provided throughout the Cit% and for that matter throughout
the County.

RE: South Countv Area Transportation Board (SCATBd) Agreement
Dear Mayor White:
Enclosed is an agreement for continuation of the South County Area Transportation Board (SCATBd) in
which your city participates. This agreement was approved by SCATBd at its November 16, t999, meeting.

consensus-building on transportation issues. The agreement does not alter the existing operations of
SCATBd and does not propose any dues or cost-sharing. Staff support will continue to be provided by the
King County Department of Transportation through 2002.
Please review and return a signed copy of the agreement as soon as possible to Jeff Lindgren, Transportation
Planner. King County Department of Transportation. 201 South Jackson, Mail Stop KSC-TR-0813. Seattle,

Item No. 7F
Date: December 2, 1999
To: Mayor White and Council \ nn
From: May Miller, Finance Director
C-)Subject: 2000 Budget
Attached is the ordinance for the 2000 Budget. The amounts and detail are a combination of the
Preliminary Budget presented to Council on October 20. 1999, and the changes listed on Exhibits
B and C.
The changes reflect: (1) the Property Tax Ordinance adopted by Council on November 16;
(2) the I-695 Motor Vehicle Excise and Local Registration Fee loss and the cuts to the related
department budgets that were discussed at the November 16 and November 30 Operations
Committee meeting, and (3) technical correction in final balancing. Attached also is Exhibit C,
the Golf Course Fee Schedule, that was omitted in error from the preliminary budget.
The I-695 cuts of S1,871 651 were proposed to the Mayor by the departments in budget
meetings after I-695 passed on November 2. They represent a unified approach to maintaining
balanced basic city services. The cuts include reduction of 11.25 positions and other
expenditures without raising taxes to cover the I-695 impact.
The positions for two firefighters and two patrol officers will continue to be shown in the budget
document but with no funding appropriated. The city funding for the Shopper Shuttle will be
maintained in the budget and the Mayor will continue to work with Metro to find a solution to
continue operations of the Shopper Shuttle.
This will maintain a sound 2000 budget, with no new taxes, while still maintaining a 10% Fund
Balance.

Dear Mayor White,
I wish to thank you and the members of the City Council for your support of our
subsidized child care program, which provides affordable, quality, child care. The
S8000 ,grant that the City of Kent provides to ACAP Is used, in combination with other
funding sources to assist low-Income families, who are residents of Kent. The families
you sponsor either have no support, or Inadequate support to meet their child care
needs. The families we assist, with your help, Include single mothers who are
struggling to work and care for a family. Some of our parents are trying to get ahead by
returning to school to complete a high school (CED) or community college degree (AA).
In order to receive subsidized child care, the families must meet federal guidelines and
be working or pursuing an education or vocational training. Parents are provided with
resources that Include a monthly support group, access to an onsite food and clothing
bank, holiday food and gift baskets and referral for other services as needed,
I am very grateful For our partnership in helping these families and I know that the
families who benefit appreciate this opportunity to learn, work and contribute to our
community. You are to be commended for your support of this and other organizations
that make our community a better place to live.
Mayor White, please give my thanks to each of the Council members. I hope that I am
able to meet them In the future and thank them In person,

Dear Mayor and Members of the City Council,
Catholic Community Services applauds you for making the difficult decisions around the
I-695 issue. It takes courage and care to continue to place value on services to the most
vulnerable in our community. We realize that these decisions are hard and that not
everyone will support them.
Each day we see the faces of the citizens living in Kent who perform services for the
community. Many of them receive a wage that cannot support their housing or food
needs, yet they serve us at our restaurants, our construction sites and in other areas of
service. Many of these citizens are trying to support families and from time to time need
help.
Government is elected by the people and for the people...all the people. In times of
debate over issues, such as tax reform, it is important to keep a balanced perspective. If
there is any way Catholic Community Services can support you in your efforts please let
us know.
For those we serve, thank you.
Sincerely,
Cathy Peters

Dear Mayor and Council Members:
On behalf of families in the Kent community, I want to say thank you for supporting the new and existing
parent support groups in the Kent area through the General Fund Grant process. As members of the
CHANGES Parent Support Network, these groups provide support, education and training to parents
(and others) in the greater Kent area who are experiencing destructive adolescent behavior in their
families.
The support groups meet once a week in the evenings in a formal two-and-one-half hour support group
setting. Using the CHANGEinsightTM Program, parents learn how to change their behaviors and
responses to the destructive, rebellious behavior from their adolescents, all with the goal of raising self-
reliant, responsible and capable young adults who are assets to their community. In the past several
years, this program has been successful for hundreds of families, both parents and kids, in the Puget
Sound area. We are very happy to have the opportunity to continue offering this community service in
Kent.
Parents who have worked the CHANGEinsightTM Program report marked decreases in domestic
violence, substance abuse/use and criminal behaviors from their adolescents. More importantly from the
family's point-of-view, parents often report a much improved relationship with their adolescent--one that
is based on respect and love rather than power struggles and conflict. The parent support groups also are
a primary referral for community professionals, law enforcement and school officials.
Again, thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Bob Loveless, Executive Director

On behalf of Child Care Resources, I would like to thank you for your continued

Bellevue, WA 98007 Kent residents. Over the past year, we have helped over 400 residents find child care

253-852-1908 working families to find child care.
The majority of child care providers in King County operate small home businesses that
are not listed in the phone book. Therefore, our I & R service is the only way that many
of them advertise. Without our service, parents options in terms of finding child care
would be more limited.
Several weeks ago, a new study was released from the Universities of Alabama and
North Carolina at Chapel Hill. This study tracked two groups of children from infancy
through age 21. Those children who had attended a high quality child care program
completed more years of education and had higher levels of academic achievement than
those who did not attend such a program. We keep learning more about the impact of
early learning environments on brain development and later success in life. That early
learning environment is child care for the majority of our nation's children.
Child Care Resources is working hard to insure that every family who needs child care
can find a safe, affordable, high quality program. Thank you for assisting us in our task.

Dear Mayor White and Kent City Council Members,
I am writing on behalf of young children who are unable, because of age and disability,
to thank you themselves. The City of Kenes support of our schoiarship program has allowed
these children to receive necessary physical/occupational and speech therapies and to play with
their peers in early education groups. These services allow these children to refocus their lives to
see abilities rather than disabilities. It also allows these children to enjoy being children through
play, planned activities, and snacks.
The leadership and commitment to human services the City of Kent provides is
gratefully celebrated. Thank you for your past efforts and for your consideration of our request
for 2000. As we continue to deal with the ever-growing rate of uncompensated funds from
insurance companies, as well as state agencies, it is comforting to count the City of Kent as a
steadfast partner in meeting this demand.

The Honorable Jim White
Mayor, City of Kent

Kent, WA 98032
Dear Mayor White;
I would like to extend the appreciation of the Board of Trustees and staff of the
Crisis Clinic to you and the city council members for the financial support they provide to
Crisis Clinic.
Your support of our Community Information Line and the 24 Hour Crisis Line are
essential to keeping the safety net of human services strong county-wide. Kent
residents can call us anytime of the day or night when they are in distress to receive
help and linkage to community services. Whether the services are offered in Kent or
elsewhere in the county, we make sure your residents get the best information available to meet their specific needs.
In the first nine months of this year 1,093 Kent residents called Crisis Clinic.Of
those, 44 were thinking of killing themselves! It is very important that whenever
someone is in this much pain, they have an immediate place to receive help.
I know that the impact of 1-695 will require the city to make reductions in
programs, but I would request that human services programs not be reduced. In a time
when so many government programs will be reduced it is even more important that the
safety net remain strong. I expect the Crisis Clinic will receive more calls from people
confused and distressed about whether they can get the emergency help they need. It
will be an even biggerjob for us to keep track of all the changes human service
agencies will make if their funding is cut. Now, more than ever is a time to keep Crisis
Clinic strong.
We appreciate your faithful support. Thank you again.
Sincerely,

health and safety of these women and their Children. Without such services, more
serious injuries and deaths would occur, and the related costs would strain our

Re: Funding for Red Hawk Club
Thank you!
During the last two years, our school has used funds from the City of Kent to
offer additional learning opportunities for many of our students. The Red
Hawk Club meets after school for one hour at least twice a week during the
school year. Using both small group and technology-based instruction, our
students are learning reading, writing, and math skills. Most of the children
in this after school program are 3 d and 4" graders.
Additionally, your funds have been used to support our Summer Jump Start
program. This program is designed to help children maintain those skills
they've learned during the regular school year. It also helps them have a
positive start when the school begins in September. It focuses on reading,
writing, and math with I" and 2nd grade students.
I know some of you have dropped in to observe these programs. I urge you to
do that as much as possible. Your observations and opinions about these
programs are important and help us assess their value. As part of our
evaluation efforts this year, we will use quantative and qualitative measures to
assess the progress of the programs you're funding. I know that our teachers
feel that student growth has been positive.
I also want to take this opportunity to commend the Kent Police and Fire
Department. These men and women have been a fantastic support for our
school. They consistently respond to our needs with expertise, sensitivity, and
speed. They have been wonderful role models for our children and adults.
Some of them have been done a superb job of teaching safety and good
decision-making in our assemblies and classrooms. They're making our
school community a safer place. They're always welcome at NO'B.
Sincerelv,

Dear Mayor White and City Council Members,
This correspondence is directed to you on behalf of the youth and families who are receiving
services, the staff, and Board of Directors of Kent Youth and Family Services. I want to thank
you once again for the direction and support you have demonstrated during the past year as you
continued to disperse significant city resources, both financial and in-kind, to the services in
response to the mission that is Kent Youth and Family_Services.
With continuing support from the City of Kent and you, Kent Youth and Family Services
anticipates providing chemical dependency services; mental health counseling; late night
recreation, academic support and social development programs; transitional housing for young
homeless mothers and their infants/toddlers; youth violence outreach and prevention services; and
early childhood education(ECEAP and Headstart). Through its programs, Kent Youth and
Family Services will enhance the lives and life skills of thousands of youth and families during
the coming year, as the agency did through 1999.
Having recently been selected Executive Director,I personally look forward to meeting you and
other persons who are key to the vitality of the community here in Kent. I come to Kent Youth
and Family Services having known the departing Executive Director, Peter Mourer throughout
his tenure. My previous experience includes a significant amount of collaboration with Kent
Youth and Family Services and its staff. Therefore, I come to the position carrying a well-
developed relationship with Kent Youth and Family Services and the agency's mission and
programs. For your information, I am currently transitioning into the Executive Director position.
I will assume the position's responsibilities full time January 3,2000. I will attempt to call
introducing myself prior to that time, but at the latest early in January.
Once again, thank you on behalf of all of us associated with Kent Youth and Family Services.
Sincerely,
Michael Heinisch

c,nutu can change assault. Support from the city has been critical in meeting these needs.
the world,indeed it's
the only thing that
ever has." Kent residents benefit more from KCSARC's services than do residents of any other
municipality. In the first six months of this year, we assisted 118 city residents. This
-:Nargarer Mead represents 84% over our contracted amount for the entire year. This high usage rate is
influenced by the excellent working relationship we have with the Kent police
department, high visibility in the city and the new Regional Justice Center (RJC).
Since the opening of the RJC requests for legal advocacy have increased 30% which
has challenged our ability to provide high quality services with current staff.
Kent residents receive the following services at no cost:
• 24hr crisis intervention, information and referral
• Legal advocacy for adult,-teens and children
• Medical advocacy and evaluations for children
• Parental support
• Therapy for children
• Therapy for adult survivors
KCSARC also responds to community requests for education and provides
professional training and consultation. There is a fee for these services.
Thank you again for your concern about sexual assault and your willingness to
support services for Kent residents.

Dear Mayor White and City Council Members:
Senior Services' Volunteer Transportation Program would like to thank
you for your continuing support in 1999 and 2000. We are the largest
provider of volunteer transportation services in King County and your help
enables us to continue providing our much needed service.
Volunteer Transportation has over 350 volunteer drivers who use their own
vehicles to transport isolated, frail, low-income elderly throughout King
County to medical and other essential appointments, and is unique in its SENIOR CENTE1
focus on seniors whose physical and/or mental condition requires them to
have an escort. We differ from buses, taxis and ACCESS vans in that our
volunteers not only provide a ride but accompany the seniors to their
appointments as well, waiting with them before taking them home again.
Thus, ours is a very personalized, one-on-one service, offering seniors a
helping hand and moral support. There is no charge for our service.
Transportation has been one of the main problems facing King County
seniors for several years. Changes in Metro's ACCESS Transportation
Program, including fare increases, in-person eligibility screening and ADULT DAY
HEALTH CENTERS
elimination of the Options Program, coupled with the passage of I695, will
compound the problem. More and more area seniors will be looking for
alternative transportation resources, and the Volunteer Transportation
Program expects the demand for our service to increase dramatically.

The demand for our service in the Kent area is already tremendous. We
provide more mileage and more One-Way trips to Kent seniors than to
seniors in any other suburban city in King County! In 1998, Volunteer
Transportation transported 102 Kent seniors over 21,893 miles and on
1,165 One-Way Trips. At the end of the third quarter for 1998, we have
attained 78% of our annual goal for One-Way Trips, 92%of our Mileage
goal, and have surpassed our annual goal for Unduplicated City of Kent

On behalf of the Volunteer Transportation Program, and on behalf of all

Dear Mayor White& Council Members:
Washington Women's Employment& Education(WWEE) greatly appreciates the support of the city of
Kent this year and in the past. The City's generosity will help us to carry on with our mission at
WWEE—that of assisting low-income parents to gain the skills, the knowledge, and the courage to be
self-supporting.
With the support of individuals, foundations, and businesses throughout the community, WWEE has been
able to help over 6,300 well-deserving people and their families in their efforts to achieve self-
sufficiency. And for every one person who is able to get off welfare and stay off welfare, the community
saves approximately$10,000 per year in cash assistance and gains the additional tax dollars generated by
that individual receiving a paycheck.
We are proud that our program success rate has been exceptional: more than 70% of our graduates are in
school, employed, or engaged in a post-training active job search one year after completing the WWEE
program. With the challenges that lie ahead, your support of WWEE'sjob readiness and computer
training programs is critical to our continued success, and to the success of our participants.
Please do not hesitate to call me at 253-859-3718 should you like to visit our program or attend a
graduation ceremony.
On behalf of the people we serve, thank you again for your generosity and your continued support.

November 2, 1999
COMMITTEE MEMBERS PRESENT: Chair Judy Woods, Sandy Amodt, Tim Clark
STAFF PRESENT: Tom Vetsch, Brent McFall, Roger Lubovich, Jackie Bicknell
The meeting was called to order by Chair Judy Woods at 3:33 PM.
Approval of Minutes of October 5. 1999
Committee Member Tim Clark moved to approve the October 19, 1999 Operations Committee
minutes. The motion was seconded by Committee Member Sandy Amodt and carried 3-0.
Approval of the Combined Check-Detail Vouchers dated October 31, 1999
Tim Clark moved to approve the vouchers dated October 31, 1999. The motion was seconded by
Sandy Amodt and carried 3-0.
Continuation of School Impact Fees — Ordinance
City Attorney Roger Lubovich said the current school impact fee program expires on March 31, 2000
and the proposed ordinance would remove the termination provisions. Council will be adopting the
capital facilities elements of the comprehensive plan of the City of Kent for the Kent and Federal
Way School Districts at the November 2, 1999 Council meeting. The new fees and adjustments
included in this ordinance will also be adopted then. This ordinance repeals the sunset provision and
lets the impact fee program continue.
Sandy Amodt said she thought a new sunset provision with a different year on it should be
considered. Director of Operations Brent McFall said that if Initiative 695 passes, any tax or impact
fee such as this that have sunset provisions would then have to be renewed by voter approval in order
to extend the program. If there is no termination date or sunset date then it would continue until
repealed by the City Council. Roger Lubovich said the ordinance could always be repealed at any
time.
Ms. Amodt asked for an explanation on why some of the fees have gone down. Mr. Lubovich said
the school impact fee for the Kent school district went up from $3744.05 to $3782 for single family
residences, and up from $1888.40 to $2329 for multi-family residences. The Federal Way School
District fees went down from $2,883 to S2,384 for single family, and S875 to $786 for multi-family.
Those fees would expire on March 31, 2000 if not otherwise continued. The City of Kent is a vehicle
for collecting and transferring funds to the school districts as they cannot collect the fees themselves.
The fees are established for future growth through a complicated formula in the code based on the
school districts' capital facilities needs. The reason the fees are different for the different districts is
because they have different needs based on their growth and existing facilities. Sometimes the fees
go up and sometimes they go down.
Tim Clark moved to repeal Section 12.13.150 of the Kent City Code. The motion was seconded
by Judy Woods.
Operations Committee Minutes, 11/2/99 2
Mr. Clark said the Kent School District has not sought the maximum possible fees, but has instead sat
down with the development community to come up with something acceptable to all participants.
Housing growth brings impacts on classrooms with the corresponding need to assure space for
students in the schools. Sandy Amodt expressed that she would prefer to see a sunset continued in
the ordinance, even if I-695 passes, and then trust the voters to make the right decision.
The motion was voted on and carried 2-1 with Judy Woods and Tim Clark voting yes and
Sandy Amodt voting no.
The meeting was adjourned at 3:45 PM.

PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE MINUTES
October 26, 1999
COMMITTEE MEMBERS PRESENT: Chair Connie Epperly, Sandy Amodt, Tom Brotherton
STAFF PRESENT: Norm Angelo, Chuck Miller, Pat Fitzpatrick, Mary Ann Kern, John Willets,
Jackie Bicknell
The meeting was called to order at 5:03PM by Chair Connie Epperly. There were two items
added to the agenda: Disaster Planing, and False Alarms.
Approval of Minutes of September 28, 1999
Committee Member Tom Brotherton moved to approve the minutes of September 28, 1999. The
motion was seconded by Committee Member Sandy Amodt and carried 3-0.
Equitable Sharing of Federally Forfeited Property— Acceptance and Expenditure of Funds
Police Department Administrative Services Assistant Mary Ann Kern said the Police Department
had applied for and received Equitable Sharing of Federally Forfeited Properties funds in the
amount of S3,102.84. She requested acceptance of the funds and authorization to establish a
project for receiving and expending the funds for qualified expenditures.
Tom Brotherton moved that the Public Safety Committee recommend to the Council
approval for the Police Department to establish a project for receiving and expending the
funds received from the Equitable Sharing of Federally Forfeited Property program in the
amount of$3,102.84. The motion was seconded by Sandy Amodt and carried 3-0.
Portable Automatic Defibrillators
Fire Chief Norm Angelo said the Kent Fire Department has been looking into the new portable
automatic defibrillator technology, recently seen in a program on TV. One of Kent's Firemen,
currently at Academy, has been instructed in its use. Plans are to discuss with the Police Chief
the potential for putting the defibrillators in police vehicles, and to also look at potential use in
certain public areas of large occupancy such as the Performing Arts Center.
The training for the program is fairly simple and straightforward and the Red Cross has a current
program that allows for re-certification every two years. Follow up training is very important as
skills disappear when they are not applied. Chief Anggelo said the Fire Department will need to
develop a program that will identify people that can be trained, including the follow up training.
The units require daily checking and some equipment maintenance.
The cost of the program is about $3,000 per unit, plus training and continuance. The training and
_ continuity of the program are very important aspects. After discussions with the Police Chief,
the item will be brought back to Committee with more information. Tom Brotherton remarked
that it is very useful for the City to investigate the defibrillator technology as it has the potential
to help save lives.
Public Safety Committee, 10/26/99 2
Disaster Planning
Fire Chief Angelo said the Department is working on an overall disaster plan for Y2K. Part of
that planning is looking at the radio systems throughout the City. Fire has headed up a program
and will make a recommendation that will put the City significantly into the 800 megahertz radio
system. This will create common talk mechanisms, which is critical in disaster planning.
Emergency Planning money will be used to outfit the radios without back charging any
departments. There will be some annual access fees to the radio system in Valley Comm and
some maintenance, but it will be very minimal Citywide on an annual basis. The radios will
allow true mechanisms for cross communication between the departments in the city.
Kent will be one of the first cities in the valley to go beyond public safety to significantly outfit
the other departments with radios. The Information Systems Department, which does a lot of
physical separation work in different areas and needs to communicate back and forth, usually
uses cell phones. IS Director Marty Mulholland was one of the first people to use the concept of
the radios which were loaned to her, and the IS Department was able to cut cell phone bills by a
couple hundred dollars during a period of heavy testing. The radios do not do away with cell
phones but can be effective substitutes in some areas.
Chief Angelo said he had taken the issue to Administration to make sure that it is within budget
priorities and the goals and targets that have been set for disaster planning. He said Director of
Operations Brent McFall and Mayor Jim White felt very positive about it as it was in line with
their goals to make the City communicate more fluently. Staff is working on other concepts to
add to the program next year.
False Alarms
Chief Angelo said that the costs for responding to false alarms are reviewed annually. In
general, most people in the community are responsible, but periodically there are those that tend
to be problematic. A couple of businesses have become chronic offenders and have a significant
impact, so the Fire Department is looking to introduce a fee for false alarms. Businesses will be
allowed to have a certain amount of false alarms with no charge during a given period of time.
After the third false alarm there is an impact against the City's limited resources which need to
be maximized to the highest priority. If somebody has a fourth false alarm,judgement would be
used on whether or not a fee is charged. If the incident was inadvertent or an effort was made to
correct the problem, an allowance could be made. Part of the focus for the issue would be
education so businesses can try and find ways to solve the problem. It would only be if a
business behaved as if a solution was not a priority that the fee would really start having a big
impact. The majority of the businesses in the community should not see any ill effects.
Tom Brotherton commented that Kent is almost alone in the County in having no fees for false
alarms. Chief Angelo said Kent will have over 13,000 total alarms this year, which is highest in
South King County and high for most of the rest of the County, with the exception of Seattle.
However, only a relatively small number of the 13,000 alarms are false alarms.
Connie Epperly said she had talked to the Police about the issue because some of the officers
were concerned with the number of false burglar alarms in the large industrial areas of the City.
Chief Angelo said Mr. McFall had directed the Fire Department to work with both the Police
Public Safery Committee, 10/26/99 3
Department and the City Attorney's Office to look for feasible alternatives. The Fire
Department will cooperate in whatever way necessary. The Police volume of calls is extremely
high with some human related and some system related. Fire false alarms are not as high in the
industrial areas as Police false alarms.
The meeting was adjourned at 5:18 PM.

PUBLIC WORKS/PLANNING COMMITTEE MINUTES
November 1, 1999
COMMITTEE MEMBERS PRESENT: Chair Tim Clark, Tom Brotherton, Rico Yingling
STAFF PRESENT: Don Wickstrom, Tom Brubaker, Pam Mottram
PUBLIC PRESENT Hilary House
The meeting was called to order by Chair Tim Clark at 4:00 PM. There were three added
items: Public Works Standby Generator, 2771h Corridor LID, and Citizen Comments by
Hillary House. Item 2, No Parking Zone—Ordinance, was moved to Item 5 position.
Approval of Minutes of October 18, 1999
Committee Member Tom Brotherton moved to approve the minutes of October 18, 1999.
The motion was seconded by Committee Member Rico Yingling and carried 3-0.
Nelson Annexation — Set Hearing Date
Public Works Director Don Wickstrom said a petition was received on the annexation of
the Nelson Farm, which is 23 acres located in the south part of the City adjacent to 2771h.
The area abuts the City and the Union Pacific Railroad as a of finger of land at the
southern edge of the City limits. Mr. Wickstrom said annexation petitions have to be
acted on in a meeting with the property owners or petitioners within 60 days after
receiving the petition. _
Tom Brotherton moved to recommend to Council authorization to set a public
meeting date of November 16`h to accept the 10% petition of the proposed Nelson
Annexation. The motion was seconded by Rico Yingling and carried 3-0.
Interagency Agreement/Traffic Signal
Don Wickstrom said the Interagency Agreement allows for the traffic signal that the
County put in at 120`h Avenue SE and SE 240`h to be tied into Kent's signal system. Kent
already controls the signals on SE 2401h at 132Id Ave. SE and 116`h Ave. SE. Tom
Brotherton asked if the signal operation stipulations in the agreement were already
compatible with City standards, and if in the future should the timing need to be adjusted
to improve traffic flow, would the City have to meet with the County and get its approval.
Mr. Wickstrom said that was correct.
Rico Yingling moved to recommend to the Council authorization for the Mayor to
sign the Interagency Agreement for the traffic signal at 120`h Avenue SE and SE
240'h Street upon concurrence of the language therein by the City Attorney. The
motion was seconded by Tom Brotherton and carried 3-0.
Kine Countv Agreement for Inflow/Infiltration Program Studv
Don Wickstrom said that as part of the County's updating of its Water Quality Program
and treatment facilities, they want to institute a program by 2005 making sure that inflow _
and infiltration into the system is controlled. If infiltration or ground water inflow can be
kept out of the system, future capital needs costs can be cut or extended further into the
Public Works/Planning Comrnittee, l l/l/99 Page 2
future. This is a system wide study and charges will be assessed to the cities for the 37
agencies that contract with METRO for sewer treatment services. Those agencies will be
required to remove the infiltration/inflow out of the sanitary sewer system that goes to the
METRO treatment plant or be assessed a penalty.
When additional capacity is added, it means the plant and the interceptor line have to be
bigger, and that takes a lot of dollars. This program will reduce capacity by taking storm
or ground water out of the sewer system so it doesn't have to be treated and will put it
back into the creeks and streams where it belongs. Generally, deteriorated systems or
flooding (where the water goes down the manhole) is what puts ground water into the
sewer system. This agreement allows the County to look at Kent's system to pinpoint
where any problems might be.
Tom Brotherton moved that the Public Works/Planning Committee recommend to
the Council authorization for the Mayor to sign the Utilities Cooperation Agreement
with King County for the Inflow/Infiltration Program Study. Rico Yingling
seconded the motion and it carried 3-0.
No Parking Zone - Ordinance
Deputy City Attorney Tom Brubaker said that the No Parking Zone Ordinance clarifies
the existing ordinance which had some double entries, and also institutes changes on
some limited street parking areas (shown in the ordinance as underlined language). The
ordinance covers all the No Parking Zones in the City and there are about 15 items that
have been added to the No Parking Zone areas.
Tim Clark said he was concerned about the No Parking area on Gowe from Railroad to
Central and expressed that the loss of any more parking in the downtown will be a major
problem with the coming train station. Don Wickstrom responded that at #2 on East
Gowe, the second or south side eastbound lane to go across Central Avenue already is
used as a second through eastbound lane or right turn lane. If people park in it, it would
eliminate its use as a through lane or right turn lane.
Tom Brotherton identified other streets that he wasn't sure about, including items #26,
#33, #38, and#40, and said he would like to know the reasons they were being classified
as No Parking Zones. Mr. Brubaker suggested that staff could address those issues and
the item be brought back to the next Public Works/Planning Committee meeting or be
moved forward to the full Council and a memo prepared explaining the changes. Tim
Clark recommended that in fairness to staff and to expedite the matter, that the item be
sent to the full Council, and a map shown in the presentation with an explanation about
those specific streets.
Rico Yingling moved to recommend that the council repeal section 9.38.020 of the
Kent City Code and adopt a new section 9.38.020 entitled "No Parking Zones".
Tom Brotherton seconded the motion and it carried 3-0.
Public Works/Planning Committee, l l/l/99 Page 3
Condemnation on 256`h
Tom Brubaker said the condemnation ordinance was for the project involved with the
proposed widening of SE 256`h Street. It is in a primarily residential area and affects a lot
of smaller residential homes. Public Works Property Management has been negotiating
with the property owners, trying to arrange a settlement or compensation for the impacts
to their properties. Sometimes the impact is taking a sliver of land along the street
frontage and sometimes it involves off site impacts like changes in slopes that affect
driveways, etc. The City has settled with a number of the property owners but not all of
them, and the action before Committee is to authorize moving forward with the
condemnation lawsuit and eminent domain proceeding.
The first step in the proceeding is the declaration by Council that it is in the public policy
to move forward with the project and with the condemnation. It does not mean all the
properties will be condemned. Negotiations are continuing with the property owners in
an effort to broker out a settlement. Inevitably, some actions will probably have to be
filed, but it's rare to go to trial as property owners typically will settle before going too
far in the process. All the property owners have been contacted by the Property
Management staff in the Public Works Department and all have been made offers.
Don Wickstrom said that the widening of the road entails a three lane improvement with
key intersections of an additional right turn lane and left turn pockets from 116`h to past
132"1 to about 1351h. Some of the intersections may be 5 lanes because of the turning
movements necessary. The street widening fits in with the existing right of way. The
vertical curve was changed to make it fit more and be less damaging and there will be
bicycle lanes at the sidewalk curb and underground power and street lights.
Tom Brothertou moved that the Public Works/Planning Committee recommend to
the Council approval of an ordinance condemning necessary properties for the road
construction project on 256`h Street. Rico Yingling seconded the motion and it
carried 3-0.
Transportation Improvement Board Grant
Don Wickstrom said the City had received a grant from the TIB for the 256`h Street
Project. When the Meridian area was annexed, this project was taken over from King
County and so the City received what was left over from their grant. The total amount
was 52.5 million, but about a half a million was spent on redesign. The City is doing the
building on the project. Tom Brotherton asked if additional City funds would be spent
besides the grant. Mr. Wickstrom replied that the project had a S5 to 6 million dollar
budget and the rest of the money would come from local City funds.
Rico Yingling moved to recommend to the Council authorization for the Mayor to
sign the TO Grant Agreement and to authorize staff to accept the grant and
establish a budget for the funds to be spent within the said road improvement
project. Tom Brotherton seconded the motion and it carried 3-0.
Public Works/Planning Committee, l l/1/99 Page 4
Change in Control of Tri-Star Disposal
Don Wickstrom said the City had received a formal request for official acknowledgement
from Waste Management, the company that bought out Tri-Star Disposal. It was
informally acknowledged in the bid but didn't get Council approval.
Tom Brotherton moved that the Public Works/Planning Committee recommend to
the Council adoption of the resolution ratifying approval of a change of control of
Tri-Star Disposal upon concurrence of language therein by the City Attorney. Rico
Yingling seconded the motion which carried 3-0.
Alpine Vista Parking Survey
Don Wickstrom said one more response had been received which changed the results
somewhat on the memorandum from Merrill Vesper. On page 1, rather than 20
respondents for the "Restrict or control parking in some manner (various options)", the
number changes to 21 which also changes the percentage from 77% to 81% on that same
page. The total number of respondents changes to 27. The Alpine Vista Neighborhood
Summary is shown on page 3. The number 1 option changes to 6 instead of 5, and the
number 6 option to 1 instead of 2. The total of 26 remains the same. Another change is
on the plat map. Lot number 5 that had a 3 right across the intersection of 270`h should
be 1. The changes are representative of the options chosen by the additional response.
There is no clear direction from the property owners and no clear solution that would
please everybody. 81% say they want some kind of restrictive control. The #3 option
under Restrictive Control was "Use temporary signs only for special events" and#1 was
"Keep signs and policy as they currently exist", which are the signs put up to restrict
parking during the summer use. 13 respondents out of 26 chose those types of
restrictions. Mr. Wickstrom suggested making a sign that had a flip over cover, then if
Parks had a special event or it was going to be extremely hot weather, they could go out
and flip the sign.
Rico Yingling commented that there were four resident suggestions for permits which
weren't on the summary list, and asked why issuing permits was talked about in the first
part of the update but not included in the summary list. He asked if people were
specifically asked to determine if they wanted any of the options presented, as permits
seemed to be something a number of people from the neighborhood had wanted. Tim
Clark pointed out that when that issue was brought up at the previously held community
meeting, staff told the neighborhood it would be extremely difficult to go to residential
parking permits and that it was not an option. Mr. Yingling said he did not remember
that being said at the community meeting.
Tim Clark commented that one of the concerns is about kids using the street as a play
area and asked if it would be safer if there was no parking on just one side of the street.
Mr. Wickstrom replied that the street in question is a dead end street and high volume or
high speed traffic is not anticipated. There shouldn't be a problem whether parking was
on one side or two sides in terms of a safety issue. Mr. Clark clarified that fewer
Public Works/Planning Committee, 11/l/99 Page 5
complaints had been received after the July 4`h celebration, and Mr. Wickstrom added
that he thought the weather had something to do with that as there hadn't been a real
good summer to test the situation.
Mr. Clark said he wished to run the issue by the other Council Members and requested it
be returned to the Public Works/Planning Committee at the December meeting. Rico
Yingling said it didn't sound as if parking was a big problem now and was not something
that needed to be decided right away, but it would be good to do it before next summer
starts. Don Wickstrom said the signs are in place now but are covered. Tom Brotherton
and Tim Clark said their inclinations would be to leave the signs as they are now.
Public Works Standbv Generator
Don Wickstrom said the Public Works Standby Generator was a Facilities/Maintenance
item handled out of the Parks Department. Tom Brubaker added that Facilities is
developing some projects to build standby generators. He said he had met with Facilities
Superintendent Charlie Lindsey and they have developed a proposal to get standby
generator backup for all the significant City buildings, starting with the outlying
buildings that don't have generator backup now. This generator would back up both the
Kent Commons and the Public Works shops. The project was put out to bid and only
one bid was received for$114,415 from Sequoia Corporation, which includes installation
of the generator.
Mr. Wickstrom said Facilities wants to get the generator built before December 31, 1999.
Tim Clark asked if the item would require approval out of Committee. Mr. Brubaker said
he didn't think it would because the bids would be addressed separately by Council.
2771h Corridor LID
Tom Brubaker said that LID 351 is the proposed LID for the 277`h Street Corridor and
has received considerable hue and cry over the past couple of years. There are a number
of disgruntled residents in certain subdivision areas that feel bound by the no protest
agreements and are frustrated by them. The construction of the 2771h Street Corridor is a
S30 million project. The estimated amount of$7 million (or a little less than 25% of the
total cost) will flow from LID dollars.
Since construction is nearly done, the project is at a point that it's time to form the LID.
Staff has attempted to address all the neighborhood concerns that have been raised. Two
informal information gathering public hearings have been held. One more will be held
slated for November 18. After that it will be taken to the full Council to form the LID
before the end of this year, partly because there are some concerns about Initiative 695
and the possibility it could have an impact on the City's ability to levy assessments under
this LID.
Forming a LID cements the concept, it doesn't levy assessments which is a subsequent
part of the process. The hearing on the formation must be restricted to whether or not the
LID should be formed, not on whether someone is being charged appropriately. After the
Public Works/Planning Committee, l l/l/99 Page 6
LID is formed, preliminary assessments will be sent to all the affected property owners
and they will all have an opportunity to protest their assessment even if they're bound by
a no protest agreement. The no protest agreement is only a no protest to formation, not to
the actual assessment amount, so all the property owners still have their protest time in
front of the City Council or a Council Committee.
If this motion and draft resolution is passed out of the Public Works/Planning Committee,
the time for passage of the resolution forming the LID will be set for the Council meeting
on December 14`h. However, as the December Council meeting tends to have a very
action packed agenda as the last meeting of the year, staff is asking that the hearing on
formation be held at the committee level. Even though this is strictly a formation
hearing, it would potentially cut I-I%z hours out of the December 14th Council meeting
time. The City Public Works Department and other staff will be holding an informal
meeting with property owners November 18`h, and is asking that the Public
Works/Planning Committee hold the hearing on the formation of the LID at a special
meeting on Dec. 13`h.
Tim Clark asked approximately how many households would have to be notified of the
hearing. Don Wickstrom said there would be about 600.
Tom Brubaker said he was concerned that having the hearing as well as bringing the
resolution on the same Council night might be too much for Council to deal with along
with everything else and the item could get bumped forward to January after the effective
date of Initiative 695. Mr. Wickstrom added that it was also a cash flow issue as interim
financing had to be set up, and some of the money was borrowed from the 196th Street
Corridor and the 266th Street project. The money is needed around March or April for
those other projects. Before the money can be collected, the hearing has to be held on the
final assessment rolls.
Rico Yingling was concerned whether or not it would be appropriate to remove the issue
from full Council review. He said he didn't have a problem with the Committee taking
on the responsibility, but felt the president of the Council should be asked for an opinion
on whether the issue should stay with Committee or go to the whole Council body. Tom
Brubaker said that was a legitimate concern because it is a policymaking decision. Tim
Clark commented that the practice in the past has been for the committee that is
responsible to have its own public hearing. Tom Brubaker suggested the Council could
address the issue on the Reports of Committees at the November 2Id meeting. It was
decided to schedule the hearing for December 13, 1999 at 7:00 PM pursuant to agreement
by the full Council that the issue should go at the committee level.
Tom Brotherton moved to recommend to the full Council that the Council authorize
the Public Works Committee to hold a public hearing on behalf of the full Council
on the creation of LID No. 351. The motion was seconded by Rico Yingling and
passed 3 -0.

Tom Brotherton moved to recommend to the full Council the passage of the
resolution which calls for the creation of LID No. 351, 277th corridor
improvements, and sets the public hearing date therefor. The motion was seconded
by Rico Yingling and passed 3-0.
Citizen Comments by Hillary House
Hillary house, Director of the Federal Way Family Center, 25834 26th Place South,
;#G104, Kent, said that she was pleased with the work the City Engineering Department
has done in regards to the street closure at 2561h at 29th Avenue. However, the Family
Center and the residents of the apartment complexes on 27th Place at 256`h are concerned
about some other issues. The study the City is doing is covering things like traffic flow
and safety, but some of the residents are concerned about the image the gate presents and
are very unhappy about what it says about their community. They would like a forum for
addressing those issues and would like the Committee and the Council to consider that
aspect of the street closure.
Tom Brotherton commented that the closure is temporary while the study is being done.
The intent is to look for optimum solutions, which may include taking the gate out,
opening the street up again, and doing some other type of mitigation. He asked if the
community was only concerned with the gate or if they would still want a forum if the
gate were taken out and something else done. Ms. House said the issue right now is with
the gate because the gate is up and the residents are concerned and have feelings about it.
As far as what would happen if the gate came down and something else was done, she
said she had not talked to the residents about that.
Tom Brotherton asked if a community meeting could be set up that the Committee could
attend. Hillary House said the residents would love to have the Committee come to a
community meeting and she would be happy to schedule one. The residents would be
more likely to attend that type of meeting than coming to one at Council Chambers.
Daytime meetings are really difficult for the single parents and working families to
attend. Rico Yingling said he would like for the single family homeowners in the area to
be invited too. Ms. House said she would be happy to be the point person to make
arrangements with the Committee. Mr. Brotherton suggested she call the Council office
during the day and talk to Council Secretary Jackie Bicknell to arrange a time for the
community meeting.
The meeting was adjoumed at 4:55 PM.
