(OTHER BUSINESS - ITEM 7B)
(ADDED)
Water Emergency - Use Limitations. The City is
currently experiencing drought conditions with its
current water levels within the City ' s water supply
system. It is projected that during the coming summer
months , the water supply will e substantially lower than
the summer months of previous years . Staff finds that
it is necessary to begin placing limitations on the use
of water in order to provide for a sufficient supply of
water during this summer. Because of existing and
predicted drought conditions, an emergency exists and
immediate limitations are need on the use of water in
order to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the
citizens of the City of Kent .
The proposed ordinance limits the use of water for City
water system customers . Landscaping irrigation and lawn
sprinkling are restricted on an odd/even date basis, and
any new water meters that are three inches or greater in
diameter will not be activated and put into use until
after October 21 , 2001 . The proposed ordinance would be
effective immediately upon passage and would remain in
effect until October 1 , 2001, unless subsequently
amended or repealed by Council .
Public Works Director Wickstrom noted that this issue
was discussed by the Public Works Committee yesterday.
He explained the status of the water sources , and said
the limitations in the proposed ordinance are mild. He
explained the restrictions and noted that odd-even
sprinkling could result in saving two mill-ion gallons of
water a day or more . Yingling voiced concern about
businesses whose sprinkler systems are on 24-hour
timers, and asked that they be notified. Orr offered
tips from the Master Gardener and Woods commented that
- citizens must help out .

agreed.
Clark pointed out that each city is responsible for its
own water supply, and that this is an attempt to protect
Kent ' s water supply. He added that water is also needed
for fire suppression and that citizens need to take some
responsibility. Mayor White said he is confident that
the citizens will respond to this warning, and thanked
the Council for giving Wickstrom some discretion. The

testified that it seems to be permanent . Kogita said he
began to wonder if this was going to be another of Tom
Brotherton' s "just one latte a day" taxes, which would
be about $1 , 000 a year in taxes . He said Kent is
currently ranked the fifth highest taxed city in the
state, and that Tom Brotherton would be proud to make it
number one . He asked for an explanation as to where
the city is going regarding temporary structures .
Brotherton responded that the question of whether to do
something about temporary structures was reviewed by the
Planning Committee, that a hearing was held, and that
the decision was to not change the current ordinance .
He emphasized that no taxes were raised. The Mayor
asked Kogita to substantiate the information on the

have a lot more credibility with the Council .

RE: MliLTIFAMILY TAX EXEMPTION PROGRAM - DOWNTOWN
At their April 16, 2001 meeting, the Planning Committee recommended approval of a resolution
establishing a hearing date of June 5, 2001 for consideration of a Residential Targeted Area in
downtown Kent for exemptions from ad valorem property taxation in order to increase and
improve housing opportunities. The program for multifamily tax exemption within the targeted
area is allowed in accordance with RCW 84.14.
• Target Area — The proposed target area is bounded by SR-167, Willis, Titus and Cloudy
(see attached map) and is consistent with the Downtown Strategic Action Plan Downtown
Districts. It comprises the DC, DCE, M-2, SR-8, and GC zoning districts.
• New Construction or Rehabilitated Multifamily Housing: Eligible properties must be
new or rehabilitated multifamily or mixed-use housing. Land, nonhousing-related
improvements, commercial and any hotel-type housing components are not eligible for the
tax exemption. A minimum of four (4) units is required. Permanent housing must comprise
50% of developed space. The multiple family housing includes owner-occupied and rental
units. Projects will be subject to Downtown Design Review.
• Timeline: The property tax exemption is permitted for a maximum of ten years. Additional
taxes, interest and penalties are incurred if the property converts to another use. Proposed
application fees are listed in the April 16th memo.

April 16, 2001
TO: CHAIR TOM BROTHERTON AND PLANNING COMMITTEE MEMBERS
FROM: EILEEN HARRIS, PLANNER
RE: MULTIFAMILY TAX EXEMPTION PROGRAM - DOWNTOWN
Introduction: In 1995 the State of Washington established RCW 84.14. RCW 84.14
authorizes exemptions from ad valorem property taxation for multifamily development in
specific targeted areas in order to increase and improve housing opportunities in urban centers
for cities with a population of 150,000 or greater. At the behest of Kent and other cities, in 2000
this code was revised to include cities with a population of 50,000 or greater.
Staff proposes a Multifamily Tax Exemption Program for the Downtown Area. This program
would be administered by Planning Services and considered concurrently with the development
review and building permit application process.
Discussion:
• Target Area - The RCW specifies that eligible Target Areas are in an urban center deficient
in housing opportunities. Planning Services proposes a target area bounded by SR-167,
Willis, Titus and Cloudy (see attached map). The proposed target area is consistent with the
Downtown Strategic Action Plan Downtown Districts and comprises the DC, DCE, M-2, SR-
8, and GC zoning districts.
• New Construction or Rehabilitated Multifamily Housing: The RCW specifies that
eligible properties must be new or rehabilitated multifamily or mixed-use housing. Land,
nonhousing-related improvements, commercial and any hotel-type housing components are
not eligible for the tax exemption. A minimum of four (4) units is required. Proposed
rehabilitated multifamily housing, if occupied within twelve (12) months of application,
requires a minimum of four (4) additional units and proposed rehabilitated multifamily
housing, if unoccupied within twelve (12) months of application, do not require any
additional units. Rehabilitated housing must be vacant for 12 months prior to application
and fail to comply with one or more standards of building or housing codes on or after July
23, 1995 or the project must create an additional four (4) housing units. Permanent housing
must comprise 50% of developed space.
The multiple family housing includes owner-occupied and rental units. Projects will be
subject to Downtown Design Review.
• Timeline and Fees: The RCW specifies that the property tax exemption is permitted for a
maximum of ten years on construction, conversion, and rehabilitation improvements only.
The applicant has three (3) years to complete the project, and a two-year extension is
possible.
The proposed fee for the initial acceptance application is $150 plus S25 per unit, up to a
maximum of S500. Approval must occur within 90 days of a complete application at which
time the Applicant receives a Certificate of Conditional Approval. Upon completion of
construction, the Applicant will submit a Final Acceptance Application. A fee of S150 will
be charged and will be transferred to the King County Assessor's Office to cover their
services. This secondary review (similar to a final plat review) ensures the project is built as
originally approved. The proposed fee for Appeals or Extension, if any, is $100. As
specified in the RCW additional taxes, interest and penalties are incurred if the property
converts to another use.
• Property Tax Income: An estimate of tax income and foregone tax dollars is attached.
Revenue can change with future housing values, levy rates, and build out rates.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the attached Resolution authorizing a June 5th public hearing to
consider the multifamily tax exemption program.

From: Don Wickstrom, Public Forks Director
Regarding: Tacoma Second Supply Project (TSSP)
Amendment to Design Agreement
As you are aware the City and CoNington Water District (CWD) are proceeding with
the design at our cost of a portion of the pipe line work associated with subject
project. Further at last Council meeting you authorized purchasing 6600 feet of the
pipe therefore to assure if the construction contract is let they could meet the time
frames on getting through the sensitive areas and thus be operational for the 2002
demand season. On April 3`d Tacoma opened bids on the 6600 feet of pipe and
awarded the contract therefore on April 1 I". On April 30`h they advertised for the
construction project with the bid opening date set for May 22'd. They anticipate to
award on June 13"'. This is assuming the Habitat Conservation Plan and the
Incidental Take permit for the project gets issued by the services on April 16`h as
planned. My concern is that even if the incidental take permit gets issued as
planned, that the final details on the project agreement will not come together along
with establishing the financing in time to allow Tacoma to proceed with the award.
.-\-s such in order to keep this project on track timing wise we recommend that
Council authorize the Mayor to sign an amended design agreement (Draft attached)
that would allow the construction to proceed at Kent's expense. That authorization
w111 be subject to the following conditions: 1) the terms and conditions of the
agreement meet with the approval of the Public Works Director and City Attorney,
2) that the Habitat Conservation Plan and the Incidental Take permit have been
issued by the Services, 3) that the MOA on the water right issue with DOE be
executed or the assurances to the satisfaction of the Public Works Director that it will
be executed, 4) confirmation by the Public Works Director that there are no
unforeseen issues raised by the Mucicleshoot per Kent and CWD moving ahead with
the construction of this pipe segment, and lastly that CWD is an equal financial
partner per construction of this pipe segment.
MOTION:
Recommend authorization for the Mavor to execute the amended design agreement
subject to the conditions noted above.
AMENDMENT TO THE DESIGN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY
OF TACOMA, CITY OF KENT AND THE COVINGTON WATER
DISTRICT DATED JUNE 289 2000
The City of Kent and Covington Water District have provided written notice to
Tacoma Water to proceed with construction of the Kent/Covington Section of the
Second Supply Pipeline in accordance with the provision in Exhibit Q. This
amendment, dated this _day of April, 2001,will supplement provisions in the
design agreement to include construction.
Where the design agreement discusses such issues with reference to design as
nature of project, quality assurance and control, oversight, billings and payment,
and audits, these same provisions will apply to construction, where applicable.
Additional provisions that apply to construction only are included below.
7. Initiation of Project Construction
7.3 The Preliminary Project Construction Schedule and the Preliminary
Construction Budget are attached hereto as Exhibits F and G
respectively. Prior to commencing with bids and Project construction,
Kent, CWD and Tacoma shall accept the design and agree upon the
Project Construction Schedule and Construction Budget. The Parties
acknowledge that the Project Construction Schedule and Construction
Budget will be a best estimate only, and that the actual construction time
and costs of constructing the Project may differ from the Project
Schedule and Construction Budget,
7.4 Upon agreement of the Parties on the Project Construction Schedule and
Construction Budget, Tacoma shall promptly initiate construction of the

the construction of the Project. If upon any bid opening it is determined
that the bids exceed the amount budgeted therefore (less any
contingency) as set forth in the Construction Budget, Tacoma shall not
award the bid for such element without the agreement of Kent and
CWD. If Kent and CWD do not agree to the award of a bid, Kent and
CWD shall have the right to request a re-bid. If Kent and CWD do not

and CWD may elect to terminate this Agreement by providing the other
"���:,__,_'ocl Paue 1 of 6

Agreement.
7.6 It is the intention of the Parties, in order to allow Project construction to
begin at the earliest feasible date to meet the permit construction
window, to bid and award the contract for the fabrication of the pipe
within environmentally sensitive areas separate from and before the
remainder of the Project. If the Project is not constructed, or if this
Agreement is terminated prior to the completion of Project construction,
then in that event Kent and CWD shall own and be responsible for any
pipe which may have been fabricated for the Project, and for the
payment of any damages or liquidated damages to the manufacturer of
the pipe attributable to the Project.
7.7 Upon completion, all or designated portions of the Project needed to
serve Kent and CWD shall be placed in commercial service by Tacoma.
8. Oversight of Project Design and Construction
8.7 Tacoma personnel charged with the responsibility of overseeing the
construction of the Project in the field shall have the authority to
approve change orders in amounts equal to or less than $50,000, if
doing so is reasonable under the circumstances known to the individual
at the time the change order is approved. Kent and CWD agree that it
will not contest the reasonableness of any such decision to approve a
change order, but can direct Tacoma to contest the amount of the chance
order so approved. Kent and CWD shall have the authority to approve
change orders in excess of S501000.
8.8 If and to the extent a change order which is included in an invoice issued
pursuant to section 9 will result in a Project element exceeding the
amount budgeted therefore in the Construction Budget, Tacoma will
provide Kent and CWD with a recommendation regarding whether
payment of such change order is appropriate. Kent and CWD may elect
to pay or withhold payment of any such change order. If Kent and
CWD elect to contest a change order, Tacoma will in good faith contest
such change order, and Kent and CWD will pay any and all costs
incurred by Tacoma in contesting such change order.
9. Billings and Pavment for Project Design, Permitting and Construction
Where reference is made concerning payments to consultants, the same
provisions will apply for payments to contractors.

the Second Supply Project a provision to compensate Kent and CWD
for the excess payments made under this Agreement.

Regarding: Verizon Wireless Access &-- Utilities Easement
Verizon Wireless is installing antennas on a BP tower which is on our Clark Springs
property. They want access to and from the tower across our property to S.E. 272"d
Street. They have to completely fence that route to prevent unwanted intrusion into
our water source facilities. Their access is west of Rock Creek and therefore westerly
of all our facilities. They are required to maintain that fence to a standard that is
acceptable to us. We are requesting that a 30 day revocable license be granted to
Verizon Wireless for a specific purpose over a specifically defined track of land.
MOTION:
Recommend Council authorizing the granting of a 30 day revocable license to
Verizon Wireless subject to concurrence of the terms and conditions thereof by the

This vacation is being sought to remove the unimproved right-a-way that
exists. This would enhance lot 1 and provide a building site on the east
portion of lot 2 withourt disturbing the existing drainfields on lot 2
serving homes to the north; and also it would help maintain the proper
setbacks to the wetlands on lot 2. Without the vacation a building site on
the east portion
of lot 2 might possibly encroach on the setbacks for those areas. The
City of Kent planning department concurs with this request as the City
has no intentions of ever extending 127 Ave. S. E. in this right-a-way.

F ire department personnel receive medical phvsicais each year based on several criteria.
primarily, a_e and.'or assiuynment. On a regular basis. eyery years. ;his se—.ice is
assessed and put out for a RFP. This is done :o ensure the best use of available dollars

when searching for a nro%ider.
BACKGROUND
Attached are the particulars used in searching for a orovider, of the Fire Division medical
phi sical service.
An important factor in this is the availability, of providers. With the necessity of
members reporting while on duty for this service. the actual location of the clinic is
critical_ This factor realistically limited the provider list to 2 clinics: Vallev General
%ledicai Center (OHS) of Renton and Virginia Mason Occupational Medicine (VIA) at
Southcenter.
While both clinics will, V1v1 in Vlay, or currently have full on-site assessment capabilities
and ample and qualified support staff, there is an obvious difference in providers.
The proposals and interviews revealed that both clinics have physicians that are familiar
with the IAFF/IAFC Wellness Initiative. However, both physicians located at VM are
dedicated to the clinic. Further the lead physician at VM through military service and on-
going affiliations, has extensive experience with respirator use and firefighting task
demands. Another quality is that neither physician is associated with any other clinic or
practice. This virtually guarantees members seeing a physician for their exams.
OHS has 2 doctors and 2Dhvsician Assistants (PA'. Unfortunately. past experience has
shown :fiat any one of these medical oersonnei may accomplish all or pan of the exam at
OHS.
_` h1as a new. st`acious. stand-alone facilir; while OHS is ocated :n a strin mall
that is much smaller. Furthermore the OHS faciiity is located in eery close proximity to
Valle.: General. This tends to cause a high patient influx and at times extended waits.
�. final .onside-ation is references. - sS. �i7iie t!.e .e_e.ences �yere �e:e:ail;
positive. there was concern voiced regarding physicals being cursory and inconsistent.
This may be due to several issues including the possibility of not seeing a physician for
the entire exam or the volume of patients imposed on the clinic.
It should be noted that after several months of research .auburn, with their criteria based
in the IAFF/I AFC Wellness Initiative as well, has changed to VM after many years with
OHS. Their concern for quality of service was a major contributor to that change.
Finally is cost. VM is slightly higher in their annual physical costs, $69.00 higher
without a treadmill test and 584.00 with the treadmill. Their pre-employment and
Hazmat physicals are $172.00 and S 138.00 higher respectively than OHS. While low
bid is always a primary consideration, the cost increase is outweighed by the ability to
have a consistent and high quality service.
With these factors it is recommended that we award Virginia Mason Occupational
Medicine Services our medical physical services contract.
The following is a comparison of cost using the 2000 medical physical
breakdown
In 2000 there were 50 medical physicals, approximately one-third of the
department. Of these 15 were with a treadmill test. Also, there were 15
Hazmat medical physicals.

1 The Hearings Examiner notes that a hedge is often a better choice than a cyclone fence for detention pond
screening. A hedge provides a visual screen and a virtually impenetrable barrier to most children while allowing
wildlife to pass through. Although the liability concerns of the City must be considered, they were overstated during
the heanng on this application. The City's concerns is that children may slip into a wetpond and suffer some injury
and sue the City. However, children have lived near ponds for years without injury and often with some sense of
enhanced childhood experience.

The meeting was called to order by Chair Rico Yingling at 4:06 PM.
Approval of Minutes
Committee Member Judy Woods moved to approve the minutes of March 20, 2001. The
motion was seconded by Committee Member Tim Clark and passed 3-0.
Approval of Vouchers
Tim Clark moved to approve the vouchers dated March 31, 2001. The motion was
seconded by Judy Woods and passed 3-0.
Police Records & Jail Management Svstems
The item was presented by Information Technology Systems Division Manager Stan
Waldrop and Senior Systems Analyst Pam Gettman. Ms. Gettman said the City had been
using a system called CDS for police records management and jail management. Several
factors prompted efforts to replace that system, including discontinued support from the
vendor and limited options in functionality and expandability. A project team was
created to oversee system replacements, and an RFP was issued in January to newspapers
and the Internet for a qualified vendor to provide consulting services to the City. Seven
responses were received which were evaluated and narrowed down to three finalists.
From the finalists, Cit Com, Inc. was selected as the vendor to assist in the requirements
analysis, RFP preparation for the Records Management System, and vendor evaluation
and selection.
Judy Woods moved to recommend that Council authorize the Mayor to sign
contracts with Cit Com, Inc. for the purchase of consulting services to assist in the
selection of a new police records management system and jail management system,
subject to City Attorney approval of contract documents. The motion was seconded
by Tim Clark and carried 3-0.
Corrections Facility Roof—Budget Change
The item was presented by Finance Director May Miller and Facilities Superintendent
Charlie Lindsay. Mr. Lindsay said the 21,000 square foot Corrections Facility roof was
15 years old and had sustained some damage. Clipped points from razor wire were tread
upon by the mechanics working on the HVAC system, and that poked holes in the roof
causing leaks. Also, the seams are starting to come apart. The roof is a flat concrete
deck roof and currently has 1 ply roofing which will be removed and replaced with 3 ply.
Operations Committee,4/3/01 2
The roof will be replaced immediately upon completion of installation of the HVAC
system and, with maintenance, should last 20-25 years.
May Miller said the expected replacement cost was $425,000. There is approximately
$200,000 within the Corrections Project budget, leaving funding short by$225,000,
however money can be transferred to the Corrections Project from the Police Land
Acquisition Project to make up the deficit.
Tim Clark asked that Facilities consider using the large flat roof as a rainwater collector,
rather than just allowing the water to go into the storm sewer, and that something be
constructed to reclaim the water. Mr. Lindsay agreed to look into that possibility.
Tim Clark moved to recommend that Council authorize re-roofing the Corrections
facility for approximately $425,000 using existing funds and a transfer of$225,000
from the Police Land Acquisition Account. The motion was seconded by Judy
Woods and carried 3-0.
LID 351 Ordinance and Purchase Contract
The item was presented by May Miller who handed out a report from Banc of America
Vice President David Trageser. The LID 351 bond is for the 2771h Corridor project that
was completed over a year ago. The purchase was held up because of I-695, as the bond
capital people couldn't issue an opinion until they knew how that would be resolved.
Ms. Miller said David Trageser suggested that the LID Bonds be rated. Normally LID
Bonds aren't rated and this was the first time the City had ever done a rating. Moody's,
the bond rating agency, was paid S6,500 to look at the project's overall financial position.
They gave a rating of A-1 (one of the highest ratings in Washington State), and that will
save all the property owners about S 100,000 in interest costs over the 15 years of the
contract. Those property owners who prepaid will be given a refund check.
Judv Woods moved to authorize a bond ordinance for LID 351 for $5,367,217 and
to authorize the Mayor to sign the Bond Purchase Contract with Bank of America.
The motion was seconded by Tim Clark and carried 3-0.
February Finance Report
May Miller said revenues were very close to budget (only 1°o off), but down from what
they were a year ago. Expenditures showed a bit more savings than normal. Last year
they were 2.64% under budget and this year they are 6°r0' under budget, which is a savings
of 5578,000. Property Tax was right on budget. Sales Tax 0.1% or S5,000 over budget,
(which money came from November and December sales). Percentages were down 0.5%
for Contracting and 16.6% for Wholesaling. Ms. Miller suggested that people may have
taken their manufacturing exemption at the end of the year, which would show up in the
wholesaling area. The Service Area was doing fine at 7.9% over budget. Retail Trade
through January was 9.3% over budget.
Operations Committee,4/3/01 3
Utility Taxes were a bit over budget, primarily from phones, but Building Permits were
running about half the dollar amount of last year. If the trend should continue, the
amount for new construction would be down, which would affect Property Taxes.
(About 3-4 months worth of figures are needed to indicate a trend.) There have been
about the same number of Building Permits this year as last, but they just haven't been as
large. Recreation Fees, Fines &Forfeits, and Water and Sewer were right on budget.
The Golf Course showed a very small increase for the first two months compared to last
year, with the driving range and the 9 hole both up. General Fund adjustments for
December picked up $150,000 in undesignated funds after accruals. Overall, everything
is stable and the City is in fine shape.
The meeting was adjourned at 4:43 PM.

COMMITTEE MEMBERS PRESENT: Chair Judy Woods, Connie Epperly, Tom Brotherton
STAFF PRESENT: John Hodgson, Lori Flemm, Carolyn Sundvall, Katherin Johnson, Tom
Brubaker, Jackie Bicknell
PUBLIC PRESENT: Howard Woodward, Diane Woodward
The meeting was called to order by Chair Judy Woods at 4:03 PM. Changes to the agenda: the
East Hill Skatepark Land Acquisition was moved to Executive Session. Chestnut Ridge Park
Right of Way Maintenance (from homeowners Howard and Diane Woodward) and Waterfowl
Management Interlocal Agreement were added to the agenda.
Approval of Minutes of February 13, 2001
Committee Member Connie Epperly moved approval of the minutes of February 13, 2001. The
motion was seconded by Committee Member Tom Brotherton and passed 3-0.
Chestnut Ridge Park Right of Wav Maintenance
Howard Woodward, 9623 South 203` Street, said the Chestnut Ridge Homeowner's Association
had asked himself and his wife, Diane, to come to the Parks Committee to get clarification on
maintenance by the City of Kent for the right of way area between the fence and the sidewalk at
Chestnut Ridge Park. Mr. Woodward said they had talked with Park Planner Perry Brooks last
fall and again the week before about the issue, and had also talked with Planning and
Development Superintendent Lori Flemm to get clarification about the City's responsibilities.
It's time to renegotiate the maintenance agreement with the landscaping people for the trees,
rockery, lawn, etc. on the strip, and the Association believes the grass on the right of way for the
park belongs to the City of Kent, who is obligated to maintain it just as any homeowner would be
obligated. In the past, the Homeowner's Association has assessed members a fee for the
maintenance cost, which this past year was about S5,000.
There has been some confusion concerning questions about the Homeowners Association
CC&Rs. The CC&Rs only refer to common areas and there are no common areas in Chestnut
Ridge. The strip is not owned by the Homeowner's Association and the covenants have no
affect on the City of Kent's parks. Parks Planning and Development Superintendent Lori Flemm
commented that she had spoken with Diana Woodward and requested to look at the Chestnut
Ridge covenants. Ms. Flemm said the City never installs irrigation systems in any of its right of
ways from park property lines to the street. When a subdivision is permitted, the developer will
often ask that the homeowner's association be allowed to maintain the right of way strip because
they want to have annual flowers, flowering shrubs, or trees, etc., which the City typically
wouldn't locate in the right of way. The City then comes to an agreement with the developer to
allow that to happen provided the right of way is maintained by the homeowner's association.
The Chestnut Ridge development was in King County when it was developed, and the City then
annexed the area, so it's not known what arrangement was made with the developer at the time.
Parks Committee, 3/13/01 2
Ms. Flemm said she asked to see the covenants in order to determine whether the City would be
responsible to maintain the area. Normally the City does maintain everything from the park
property line up to the street. Since the developer did install an irrigation system in the strip, that
indicates there may be something in the covenants to suggest the homeowner's association had
agreed to maintain the strip. Ms. Flemm assured the Woodwards that the City would be
responsible for painting and maintaining the fence, but said the irrigation system was a tougher
decision because there was no stopping and ending point at the City's property because the
frontage extends in front of other private property.
Mr. Woodward said the Association would like a commitment from the City of Kent to maintain
the area in a level that is equivalent with that for the park. Parks Director John Hodgson said
dealing with irrigation was a big picture in the City of Kent because of the anticipation of a
major problem with water this summer. Currently, Parks staff is putting together a variety of
levels of what will be irrigated and what won't be irrigated. In this particular park,because of
the new turf, more emphasis will be put on irrigation until the grass has established its rooting
system. He commented that although everyone loves green parks, there probably will be a lot of
brown this year, and maintaining that specific right of way strip will be in line with whatever else
the City decides in general as an irrigation policy.
Mr. Woodward said the difficulty with the strip is that there was no irrigation system designed
for it. The Homeowner's Association pays for the irrigation system and the water. If they turn
off the water, there will be no irrigation along the strip. John Hodgson clarified that he was sure _
there could be an agreement on how the City would maintain the property, but the biggest issue
was that the City doesn't have an irrigation system in the right of way areas. He assured the
Woodwards that the City would maintain the frontage area, but wasn't sure how the cost would
break down for maintaining the irrigation system, or how green the area would be and who
would pay to keep it green. He promised that Parks staff would get together with the
Homeowners Association to work out the details.
Mr. Woodward commented that everyone in the Chestnut Ridge area was excited about the park
and, even though it wasn't officially opened yet, it had been in use since before Christmas.
Diana Woodward said the Homeowner's Association had voted at their annual meeting to adopt
the park. She asked for printed suggestions or guidelines on adopting a park. John Hodgson
suggested that some of the Association members should meet with Parks staff after the park
dedication in May to discuss park adoption.
Year 2001 Grant Application Review and Summary of Grants Received in 2000
Lori Flemm said there are 11 grant applications that Parks intends to submit this year. The
projects that have been identified as eligible for grant funds are:
• Clark Lake Park Native Tree Planting: the application has already been submitted and is
for the Department of Natural Resources Urban Forestry Program. $10,000 was
requested to purchase native trees and shrubs.
• Clark Lake Park Reforestation: this second application is the identical project, which will _
be submitted to King County Department of Natural Resources for funding. When
identical projects were submitted a couple of years ago, both grants were received.
Parks Committee, 3/13/01 3
■ Clark Lake Park Acquisition: this grant is for reimbursement for the acquisition of the
property and would be an application to the King County Conservation Futures Program.
■ Clark Lake Park Acquisition: for miscellaneous opportunities to request reimbursement
for the Mordhorst acquisition from foundations and other grants.
■ East Hill Skatepark Acquisition: application to the IAC, who this year is only accepting
applications for acquisition and not allowing development projects.
■ East Hill Youth Sports Complex Land Acquisition: IAC Local Parks Grant.
■ Valley North Open Space Acquisition: a local group of people who own land off of
Highway 167 are willing to donate half of the land. The area is nice open space
containing native plants and nesting birds. This presents an opportunity for the City to
acquire the land at no cost with the grant paying for half and the donation to be used as
the matching funds.
■ Panther Lake Neighborhood Park Acquisition: this site was recently acquired through a
donation and will be used as the match for acquisition of additional lands adjacent to that
park.
■ Turnkey Park Acquisition: for land adjacent to the park to obtain more street frontage for
the park.
■ Neely House Renovation: the application is for flooring on the second floor, and has
already been submitted.
■ Community Development Block Grants: would be applied to Kent Commons Play
Equipment or East Hill Youth Sports Complex development, depending on the timing
and which works out best.
Ms. Flemm handed out a listing of the Grants applied for in the year 2000 which totaled over
S1,000,000 in applications. The year the grant contract is signed is the year that's indicated as
when it was received. Only $112,531 was awarded in 2000, but the legislature is now
considering four of the IAC Grants that were submitted in 2000. If received, they will show on
the 2001 grant list. Those four 1AC grants are: the Canterbury Grant for $170,000, the Clark
Lake Mordhorst acquisition for $500,000, the Green River Trail for S300,000, and the Service
Club Ballfields Phase I for S300,000. Many of the grants require resolutions from the City
Council in order to apply, so those would be brought back to the Council when there were ready.
Tom Brotherton asked what the historical success rate was for grant applications. Ms. Flemm
said it varied almost every year. Five out of six of the King County Youth Sports Facility Grants
were received, three out of four of the King County Historical Facilities Grants, and success with
the LAC Grants has been better than 50%. However, this year the IAC Grants are four for four,
and dating from the 1960's, the success rate has been around 90%.
i
Parks Committee, 3/13/01 4
Deputy City Attorney Tom Brubaker suggested that since the granting agencies typically require
resolution and sometimes the timing can be tight, that it would be appropriate to ask the
Committee to approve going directly to Council with the resolutions (since they would be just
for grant applications), and that would shorten the time frame to get Council approval.
Tom Brotherton moved to recommend that the Parks Department take each individual
grant application resolution directly to the Council Consent Calendar. The motion was
seconded by Connie Epperly and passed 3-0.
Judy Woods suggested that in the event an application would coincide with Parks Committee
meetings, that it could be brought to committee first and then go to the Consent Calendar.
Service Club Ballfield Proiects Donation —Accept and Amend Budget
Lori Flemm said Parks is working with the service clubs to raise approximately$140,000 for
construction of the Service Club Ballfields. Recently two checks were received: one from the
Kiwanis Club of Kent for$5,000, and one from the Rotary Club of Kent for$8,750.
Connie Epperly moved to accept the Kiwanis Club donation of$5,000 and the Rotary Club
donation of$8,750 and amend the Service Club Ballfields Complex budget. The motion
was seconded by Tom Brotherton and passed 3-0.
Public Meeting: Adjusted 2001 CDBG Program
Housing and Human Services Planner Carolyn Sundvall said there had been a $30,000 increase
in funds for the 2001 Community Development Block Grant program, and the adjusted total was
S645,382. The Home Repair Program will be increased and funded at $342,861; the Titusville
Station Rehab (through the Multi Service Center) will be funded at $130,000; the Kent
Community Health Center's Natural Medicine and Health Services will be funded at $35,642;
the Kent Emergency Feeding Program at $20,460; the YWCA Transitional Housing at S35,845;
and Planning and Administration at S80,574. The contingency plan divides an equal increase
among the public service agencies and splits a proportional decrease among the funded agencies.
Tom Brotherton questioned whether there might be a more appropriate place to use the increase
in funds rather than just increasing the programs already in place. Housing and Human Services
Manager Katherin Johnson said the funds could only be used for what Council had originally
earmarked the money for. In actuality, the County's response was to follow a contingency plan
to the letter, thereby making the allocations and notifying the City how Kent's money would be
spent. Staff went back to the County and fought their decision to put an additional S88,000 into
Titusville Station (despite the fact that the agency did not need the money). The County then did
agree to allow the money to be shifted within the programs that the Council had approved.
Chair Judy 'Hoods declared the public hearing open. There were no comments from the public.
Tom Brotherton moved to close the public hearing. The motion was seconded by Connie _
Epperly and passed 3-0.
Parks Committee, 3/13/01 5
Connie Epperly moved to accept the proposed budget adjustment to the 2001 CDBG
Program budget. The motion was seconded by Tom Brotherton and passed 3-0.
Waterfowl Management Interlocal Agreement
John Hodgson said a letter had been received from the lead agency in the City of Seattle that
administrates the Waterfowl Management project asking for an Interlocal Agreement between
King County cities, the State, and the federal government on waterfowl management. The
Agreement facilitates the working together between the governmental entities to identify
problem areas, and the United States Wildlife Service will manage the program and decide what
action to take once the issues and concerns have been outlined. The cost to the City of Kent is
about $2,000 a year.
Tom Brotherton moved to authorize the Parks Director to enter into an Interlocal
Agreement for Waterfowl (Canada Goose) Management and put it on the Consent
Calendar for April 3, 2001. The motion was seconded by Connie Epperly and passed 3-0.
The meeting recessed for Executive Session for the purpose of land acquisition. It then
reconvened, and there being no further business, was adjourned at 4:47 PM.

PLANNING COMMITTEE MEETING
MARCH 5, 2001
COMMITTEE MEMBERS PRESENT: Chair Tom Brotherton, Judy Woods, Tim Clark,
STAFF PRESENT: Brett McFall, Fred Satterstrom, Kim Marousek, Charlene Anderson, Bob
Hutchinson, Roger Lubovich, Brett Vinson, Jackie Bicknell
PUBLIC PRESENT: Tom Sharp
The meeting was called to order by Chair Tom Brotherton at 4:03 PM.
Temporary Residential Accessory Structures
Senior Planner Kim Marousek reminded the Planning Committee that Temporary Residential
Accessory Structures was first brought to committee for discussion on December 11, 2000. The
issue was current City regulations on tarp covered structures typically used to house cars,
recreational vehicles, and boats. Additional concerns of liability, safety, and aesthetic issues
came from that meeting. The City Attorney's office looked at the liability issue and determined
that the state didn't require the City to adopt regulations related to the structures since temporary
accessory structures were covered in an optional appendix of the Uniform Building Code.
Staff representatives from Fire, Building, and Planning met together and discussed the safety of
the structures. The Fire Department said they had never received any notification of personal
injury or property damage relating to a temporary structure blowing over, but that would be a
possible concern from a building safety side as a large structure could blow over in a high wind
if not properly anchored. However, even if the City were to adopt the part of the UBC pertaining
to temporary structures, the Department would not review permits related to those structures.
Anchoring and wind resistance would require structural engineering as part of any permit review
required by the UBC and that would significantly increase the cost to the homeowner.
Tom Brotherton questioned whether structure manufacturers included anchoring instructions for
the purchaser. Building Official Bob Hutchinson said it was assumed there would be anchoring
instructions, however different soil types and conditions, location, wind exposure, other
buildings, hills, etc., would require site specific analysis, which was the reason Appendix
Chapter 31 of the UBC required engineering analysis.
Ms. Marousek noted that research had been done to see if there were differences in the way the
City of Kent administers residential accessory structure regulations versus the way other close-by
jurisdictions regulate the structures. Some jurisdictions have implemented design type criteria
that would prohibit that type of structure because of the restrictiveness of design elements
required in residential zones. Those restrictions typically require compatibility among structures
for siding and roofing materials, pitch line requirements, and more restrictive height limitations
versus those for principal structures.
Staff identified three options for consideration by the Planning Committee: develop a work
program to analyze the adoption of the optional appendix in the UBC to see what impacts it
might have to the City's permitting system; develop a work program to look at more design-
Planning Committee, 3/5/01 2
specific criteria for accessory structures (which would require a zoning code amendment); or
take a no-action option to continue things as they are. Ms. Marousek added a fourth
consideration that would prohibit the structures outright. Option 3, maintaining current
practices, was recommended by staff as the City is in the process of streamlining and simplifying
its existing permitting processes. If permit regulations were imposed, additional staff would be
required for reviewing permits, and inspections would have to take place once the permits were
issued. Should Council wish to regulate the temporary structures, Option 1, adopting the
optional appendix to the UBC would be the recommendation. Adoption of the appendix would
not require the issue to go before the Land Use and Planning Board or require development of
recommendations for a zoning amendment.
In answer to Tim Clark's question about safety liability in the event the City failed to enforce
any safety standards, Assistant City Attorney Brett Vinson responded that the Public Duty
Doctrine exists to allow a city to function essentially without having too large a burden to
oversee everything that a contractor does. A city reviews a permit application and makes any
needed corrections, but the burden is on the contractor or developer to comply with the statutes.
Negligent inspection performance or failure to inspect something doesn't necessarily impose a
liability on a city if something happens to a particular building. The risk or burden allocation is
on the individual contractor, and in case of injury, the injured party's cause of action would be
against the specific contractor and not necessarily against the city, although the city may be
named in the suit. Any safety standards would come from the architect on the project. If UBC
Appendix 31 were adopted, that would provide the standard of inspection.
Judy Woods added that in this case the City was twice removed from an owner bringing suit,
because the UBC appendix had not been adopted and there was no permit process to go through
for temporary structures. If things were left as they are, negligence on the City's part would
have to be proven. Brett Vinson said adopting the appendix could impose a greater liability on
the City than what already exists.
Tim Clark asked how many temporary structures had been inspected by the City. Bob
Hutchinson said no structures had been inspected as the City responds to inspection requests
related to a permit or to the report of a code violation. Ordinarily, building inspections aren't
done for work not covered by a permit. If a permit was required but hadn't been obtained, that
would constitute a violation causing the work to stop, but if no permit is required, no inspection
is required. The greatest potential hazard of a temporary structure would be from wind. The
structures are so light that seismic restraint wouldn't be an issue. Residential accessory
structures would be somewhat limited in size, protected from winds, and confined in a residential
neighborhood by adjacent structures including fences, vehicles, and buildings.
Tom Brotherton inquired about setback requirements on accessory structures. Kim Marousek
said setback, height, and size are governed under the accessory structure requirements in the
zoning code, and the requirement for the homeowner to meet those standards would not be
alleviated because a structure didn't require a permit. A detached structure is required to be set
back a minimum of two feet from a property line if it's in the rear half of a lot. In the front half _
of a lot, the same setback requirements have to be met as for a single family home, which would
be five feet on the sides and 10 feet on the front, unless the structure is being used as a garage,
i
Planning Committee, 3/5/01 3
and then the requirement would be 20 feet from the front of the lot. The types of structures that
can be placed in a residential lot that don't require permits are sheds (a 100 square foot shed to
be used for tools, bikes, etc.), and detached garages (up to 1,000 square feet and 35 feet tall,
which is the zoning standard). Those would be permanent structures and could be located within
two feet of the rear and side property lines in the rear half of the lot. Ms. Marousek commented
that temporary structures would never achieve the mass of permanent structures, and she would
be hesitant to look at further restrictions because most of the public comments are that there are
too many limitations in place already for accessory structures.
Tim Clark expressed concern that a neighbor might not be particularly conscientious or caring
about what happened to another neighbor and could decide to house a boat on a relatively small
and densely populated cul de sac or shared alleyway, thereby creating a devastating impact on
the others' sense of ownership of their own property. View could also be destroyed. Mr. Clark
suggested that since the City was going through a revamping of the permitting process, and since
it was basically being forced into creating greater density by the GMA, that now would be the
time to look at the issue of respect for another person's residential space. Tom Brotherton
agreed there would be a sense of intrusion by a neighbor erecting a massive looking structure
right on the property line. Mr. Brotherton suggested making the setback requirements
proportional to the height of the object so that if they were more than 10 feet tall they would
have to be setback five feet; if more than 20 feet tall, setback 100 feet, etc. Kim Marousek said
there was nothing similar to that in other jurisdictions' regulations. Some jurisdictions require
building permits for those types of structures, but that doesn't alleviate or strengthen setback
requirements.
Mr. Brotherton conjectured that it was only the larger than normal size temporary structure that
was visually intrusive and potentially dangerous. The ones used over cars and boats were
usually much smaller than a house and light enough that they wouldn't be a problem if they blew
away. He suggested a requirement that anything over 200 square feet of ground coverage should
need a permit. Bob Hutchinson responded that how unbearable the intrusion was would be a
personal determination for the people affected. Mr. Brotherton clarified that he was most
interested in a safety regulation, to which Mr. Hutchinson answered that the proposal would
provide a certain measure of safety regulation not currently in place, but he wasn't convince
there was a hazard that had to be dealt with. Adoption of Appendix 31 of the Uniform Building
Code, requiring permits, inspections, and engineering to make sure the structures were safe
would do nothing to address the more personal aesthetic problems of the structures in the
neighborhoods.
Tom Brotherton opened the meeting for public comment.
Tom Sharp, 24254 143`d Ave. SE, said some people use temporary structures on a permanent
basis, and some of the structures are huge. A structure is not temporary if it lasts more than six
months. People who build permanent structures have to get building permits, but someone who
wants to have a temporary/permanent garage doesn't have to get a building permit. Over the
years the issue has evolved as a piecemeal, hit and miss operation and placed here, there, and
everywhere in the code. The whole issue of accessory structures should be looked at, temporary
as well as permanent, and the code revised to have a section for accessory structures.
Planning Committee, 315101 4
Tom Brotherton suggested following something similar to the Shoreline Management Act
Master Plan height and size limitations for boat covers, and that temporary structures kept less
than six months or less than 12 feet high wouldn't require a permit. If a permit was required, it
should be a safety permit and the structure would have to be inspected.
Tim Clark requested that staff research what the State of California had done in regulating
temporary accessory structures. Bob Hutchinson said the Uniform Building Code originated in
Southern California in 1927 and California has been the primary place across the country where
the UBC has the most widespread application. Temporary accessory structures are in an
Appendix Chapter to the Uniform Building Code in California as well as here, so regulation is
optional also in California. Mr. Brotherton inquired whether the whole appendix would have to
be adopted or if just a portion could be adopted. Brett Vinson said some modification of the
code sections RCW 19.27.040 and 060 allow cities to amend other code as it applies within their
jurisdiction but only to the extent that the amendment wasn't any less than the minimum
performance standards and objectives contained in the State Building Code.
Tim Clark asked if temporary accessory structure regulations had been looked at in Bellevue,
Seattle, Tacoma, or Everett. Ms. Marousek said Pierce County was in the process of adopting
the appendix section of the Uniform Building Code, but were not amending their zoning
requirements. Rather, they were looking at temporary accessory structures the same way as
permanent residential accessory structures. She offered to check the other jurisdictions Mr.
Clark had specified to see what they were doing. Mr. Clark requested an investigation to see
what some of the more boat oriented jurisdictions had done to cope with the issue, and to see
what California had encountered with their greater densities and the same Pacific Coast storm
situations as here. Tom Brotherton requested a copy of the appendix section of the UBC, and
that more analysis be done on the issue.
Judy Woods moved to adjourn the meeting. The motion was seconded by Tim Clark and passed
3-0. The meeting adjourned at 4:50 PM.

PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE MINUTES
April 10, 2001
COMMITTEE MEMBERS PRESENT: Chair Connie Epperly, Sandy Amodt, Tom Brotherton,
STAFF PRESENT: Chuck Miller, Pam Gettman, Stan Waldrop,Norm Angelo, Pat Fitzpatrick, Mary
Ann Kern,Jackie Bicknell
PUBLIC PRESENT: Belle Thompson, Lester O. Thompson, Irla J. Thompson, Bob Armstrong,Tom
Hitchcock, Carl Rimer, Chuck Warner, Heike Werlinger,Rita Cook
The meeting was called to order by Chair Connie Epperly at 5:06 PM. Two items were added to
the agenda: Mobile Data Computers, Radio Modems, & Software Purchase; and Low Income
Housing on Central Avenue.
Low Income Housing on Central Avenue
Chuck Warner, 945 N. Central Avenue, said he was currently forced to live at his place of
business due to the problems in the area stemming from the low income, Section 8 housing
complex built last summer. There have been five attempted break-ins in the last three months
resulting in a revenue loss of S30,000, with over$10,000 just in window replacements.
Insurance only pays for 25% of the damage. The perpetrators not only break in but they destroy
everything. Mr. Warner said he is starting to lose customers coming into the area, and all of the
merchants nearby are having extreme problems and suffering financially because of the situation.
He mentioned that Bowen Scarff s problems were 10 fold to his own, with cars destroyed and
holes poked in the seats and tops with cigarette lighters.
Connie Epperly asked Deputy Police Chief Chuck Miller if the Police Department could meet
with the business owners to find out exactly what was going on, and to possibly add some Police
coverage. Deputy Chief Miller suggested a temporary alarm be provided which would
immediately broadcast over the Police radio system, rather than going through the alarm
company who would then call a dispatcher who in turn would send the alarm to the Police
Department. Mr. Warner said his security company had provided panic buttons that drop
directly into the Police Department, and the Police have responded within half a minute. Deputy
Chief Miller clarified that the panic button would have had to have been obtained directly from
the Police Department because the private security companies' equipment doesn't go directly to
the Police Department. He gave Mr. Warner his card and offered further help for the situation.
Committee Member Tom Brotherton asked for a report back from the Police Department on
what would be done to alleviate the problem.
Approval of Minutes of March 13, 2001
Tom Brotherton moved to approve the minutes of March 13, 2001. Committee Member Sandy
Amodt seconded the motion, which passed 3-0.
Police Corp Program Funds
Police Support Administrative Services Assistant Mary Ann Kern said a federal indirect grant
from the Police Corps allows the Department to receive $10,000 for each of an officer's first four
years of service if that officer was a student that had gone through advanced education and
Public Safety Committee,4/10/01 Page 2
training under the Police Corps Program. The Kent Police Department a year ago filled one of
its existing vacancies with an officer hired under the program and has now received the first
$10,000 after the completion of the officer's first year. The funds will be used to help Employee
Services hire part-time individuals to help with Civil Service testing.
Sandy Amodt moved to recommend to Council approval to accept $10,000 in Police Corp
Program funds and to establish a budget to use funds for assistance in Civil Service testing.
The motion was seconded by Tom Brotherton and carried 3-0.
Fire Inspection Interlocal Agreement
Fire Chief Norm Angelo said the Interlocal Agreement with King County covers the inspection
of all occupancies in Fire District #37. The agreement is for the first inspection and one re-
inspection.
Tom Brotherton moved to recommend to Council to authorize the Mayor to sign the Fire
Department Inspection Agreement with King County. The motion was seconded by Sandy
Amodt and carried 3-0.
Vehicle Accident Legal Review
Assistant City Attorney Pat Fitzpatrick said it is against State law for an accident report to be
discussed with anyone except the parties to the accident. An issue of concern was raised that
someone could be charged only with a traffic infraction in a vehicle accident where a death
occurred. The Law Department reviewed the specifics of the particular accident under
consideration and spoke with the investigating officer. Everyone was in concurrence that in this
situation, under the state of the law as it now exists, the appropriate charges were traffic
infractions.
The State of Washington doesn't have a negligent vehicular homicide statute as exists in many
states. The closest thing in the State of Washington is the vehicular homicide statute that applies
when a death occurs in a collision. Negligence is the only level that needs to be proven and there
are three situations for negligence: 1.) When a driver is under the influence of alcohol and
causes an accident which results in the death of another. 2.) Driving in a reckless manner which
causes the death of another person. (Reckless driving in the State of Washington is a fairly high
standard to meet and someone has to know that what they are doing is likely to cause significant
injury to another person. In this case there wasn't any evidence of that.) 3.) Driving with the
disregard to the safety of another (interpreted by the courts as just short of recklessness).
In Washington State, there is no pure negligence standard for a crime when a collision causes the
death of another person. Negligent driving used to be a criminal charge, but no jail time would
result from it, and that has been reduced to an infraction within the past two years. The negligent
standard required in the negligent homicide statutes where vehicular homicide can result in
criminal liability is failing to exercise ordinary care. The State of Washington doesn't have that
statute.
The City could adopt a negligent homicide driving type ordinance where the standard was
exercising ordinary care, and make it a crime when negligent driving resulted in the death of
Public Safety Committee,4/10/01 Page 3
_ another person, whether a motorcyclist, driver of a car, or a pedestrian. Under state law, a
municipality can only make the penalty as extreme as a gross misdemeanor, which could result
in a maximum term of one year in jail and a $5,000 fine. A municipality cannot write felony
statutes. (When the Police Department writes a felony charge, it bypasses the municipality and
goes straight to the county who is the agency that determines whether charges will be filed.)
Tom Brotherton said the City could pass such an ordinance, raising the penalty from what it was
now, but couldn't make the penalty fit the severity of the problem. He suggested putting the
issue on the City's legislative agenda. Pat Fitzpatrick added that sometimes when a city creates
an ordinance, it brings the legislature's attention into focus concerning that specific issue. Mr.
Brotherton expressed that there were two sides to the issue—people who weren't really at fault
could be arrested because the standards of negligence were so low, but also those people who
really acted in a negligent manner should suffer a penalty. Mr. Fitzpatrick expounded that the
courts and juries were designed to make the determination of guilt, the standard of charging
being much lower than the standard of conviction.
Connie Epperly suggested the issue could also be run through the Suburban Cities Association
and the City's legislative affairs office to see if that would give the legislature a push.
Rita Cook, 14103 61h Ave., Burien, said that House Bill 5790 was now at the House
Appropriations Committee, and would change the law so that a person would not have to be
intoxicated to get charged with vehicular assault. She agreed that if cities would pass ordinances
and also go to the SCA with the issue, that would help push the bill through the legislature.
Heike Werlinger, 11801 SE 157`h St., Renton, thanked everyone in the City of Kent for all of
their help. She said Bill 5790 was in the full house for the second reading and it looked like
there would be approval, as the Senate had passed it 49-0. However, vehicular assault still
carries the guideline that a person has to be drunk. People are trying to get a new law into the
legislature, and if the City would start an ordinance, that would be very helpful.
Connie Epperly asked Pat Fitzpatrick to bring a draft ordinance to the Public Safety meeting in
May.
Police Records & Jail Management Svstem
Information Technology System Division Manager Stan Waldrop and Senior Systems Analyst
Pam Gettman presented the Police Records & Jail Management System. Ms. Gettman said the
records management system for the Police Department and the jail management system would
both be replaced, and a consultant had been chosen to guide the City through the selection
process for new systems. An RFP was issued in January for consultants to help the City with the
requirements analysis, drafting a new RFP, and helping to evaluate and select a final vendor.
The consultants had to have experience in records management in the law enforcement arena and
could not be affiliated with any hardware or software vendor.
There were seven responses that were evaluated in a collaborative effort with the Police
— Department. A project team led by Police Chief Ed Crawford was put together to guide the
project from inception through implementation, and also a governing committee was formed
Public Safety Committee,4/10/01 Page 4
comprised of Deputy Police Chief Chuck Miller, his Captains, and Stan Waldrop, along with Ms.
Gettman as the project manager. The consultant finalists were invited to do a presentation and
submit a sample of their work to the governance committee. Cit Com, Inc., whose bid came in at
$83,000, was selected as the vendor of choice. The project is funded by the 1990 Tech Plan.
The records management system will be extended to patrol vehicles to provide better
communication, and will interface with the jail management module to facilitate the process of
knowing if someone is in custody. It will also reduce the entry of data and will help to prevent
multiplication of data. The hope is that patrol vehicles will be able to access the records
management system so that information is available immediately. Stan Waldrop clarified that
besides the records system itself, network connectivity would be needed to create that interface.
The consultant will provide knowledge from the field and will use his expertise to help staff
evaluate different vendors so the best system and the one most compatible with the City's
information systems environment is obtained.
In answer to Tom Brotherton's question about the schedule, Pam Gettman said the kickoff
meeting should be by the end of this month and the selection completed by the end of January,
2002. The RFP is so complex, that the vendors have to be allowed 45-60 days to respond to it
and then the responses have to be evaluated.
Fireworks
The fireworks issue was postponed to the next meeting.
Mobile Data Computers, Radio Modems, & Software Purchase
Mary Ann Kern said the mobile data computer, radio modem, and software purchase is primarily
the same as has been done before. The Police Department is continuing to replace the obsolete
Mobile Data Terminals in order to integrate with the new Valley Communications Dispatch
system. Part of the order is for Radio Modems from a sole source vendor.
Sandy Amodt recommended authorizing the Mayor to sign the approval to purchase the
VRM 650 radio modems and Tx Messenger software under the sole source provider
provisions and to authorize the Police Department to purchase Panasonic Toughbooks
under the City of Tacoma contract. Tom Brotherton seconded the motion which then
carried 3-0.
The meeting was adjourned at 5:46 PM.

The meeting was called to order by Chair Leona Orr at 5:10 PM.
Approval of Minutes
Committee Member Connie Epperly moved to approve the minutes of March 19, 2001. The
motion was seconded by Committee Member Rico Yingling and passed 3-0.
Roadside Memorial
Leona Orr introduced the topic, saying there had been confusion recently when a motorcyclist
was killed on one of the City's streets about what was allowed in the City of Kent as far as
Memorials were concerned. Ms. Orr stated she would like to see a program in place in Kent so
people who were interested in that sort of memorial wouldn't have any confusion about what
they could or couldn't do. Public Works Director Don Wickstrom said that under the Street Use
Ordinance, a specific section on portable signs could relate under certain conditions to a
memorial placed on the public right of way. It would be limited in size to 35 inches high and 24
inches wide, and the duration of the memorial couldn't exceed 30 days. Staff would need to
review the location to ensure there wouldn't be a problem for drivers or pedestrians, and the
abutting property owner would have to be in concurrence.
Mr. Wickstrom said staff had contacted the surrounding cities, King County, and the State to see
what policies those jurisdictions had in place. King County has a program for memorials strictly
related to deaths caused by drunken driving. The State has a policy which they are in the process
of revising and they are looking to include other fatalities in the revision. Covington, Federal
Way, and Tukwila all have policies for drunken driving related deaths. Auburn has an ordinance,
but Des Moines and Renton don't have any policies related to memorials. Most of the
regulations are policy related rather than being actual ordinances, and all are related to drunken
driving instances to draw attention to that cause and to try and reduce drunken driving.
Leona Orr asked if there would be any difficulty in the City expanding the idea of the drinking
driver related memorial with a similar memorial for any vehicle or pedestrian accidental death.
Transportation Engineering Manager Steve Mullen responded that there was no specific
prohibition, but any sign that would go in the public right of way should convey a clear and
distinct message that anyone would understand. None of the other jurisdictions have anything
similar to that type of sign, but have only signs similar to what the State puts out that are limited
to cases involving drugs or alcohol induced driving. Ms. Orr said she would personally like to
Public Works Committee,4/2/01 2
see a policy or ordinance that would allow families to do something similar to the permanent
state signs when someone was killed in an accident other than drinking driver related. Such a
sign would remind drivers to be more careful and would send a signal that an intersection may be
dangerous. She stated it was important for families to know that Kent cares enough to allow a
permanent reminder. She asked that staff explore the issue further and come up with some
options to take to the Public Safety Committee.
Connie Epperly commented that when Councilmember Tom Brotherton came back from Europe,
he related that a lot of the countries there put black rings around light poles to indicate deaths at
intersections or on certain stretches of road. If a light pole had a whole list of black rings on it,
then it was recognized as a dangerous area.
Rico Yingling commented that he didn't want to see a proliferation of permanent signs, and that
it appeared that no other jurisdiction had a policy on temporary memorials. Steve Mullen said
there were no specific policies; most jurisdictions actively discourage memorials or remove them
as they tend to become a distraction for drivers and can lead to more collisions. Mr. Yingling
said he would like a policy for temporary memorials as there seems to be a certain unfairness
when it's okay for police or fire people killed in the line of duty, but regular citizens don't get the
same benefit or care. Temporary signs would allow family, friends, citizens, etc to grieve but
wouldn't become a permanent distraction on the road.
Leona Orr agreed that family or friends should be allowed to put flowers on a comer as long as _
there were simple guidelines to follow, but also a small, permanent sign would be a good thing in
addition to the drinking and driving signs the State does. More than one name could be on a
sign, but a memorial should be done only if requested by the families.
Steve Mullen restated the two issues: to come up with some guidelines for a temporary memorial
that would expand beyond the limitations of the temporary sign ordinance, and to come up with a
more permanent memorial.
Leona Orr opened the meeting for comments from the audience.
Heike Werlinger, 11801 SE 1571h St, Renton, said she liked the idea of something permanent
because it would slow people down and make them think. She didn't want anything big;just a
"Please Drive Carefully" and a small space for"In Memory of...".
Steve Cook, 14015 6`h Ave. S., Burien, chapter director for a Seattle Harley owner's group,
clarified that the individual who had spoken at the March 201h Council meeting about the
memorial for the police officer was not from the Harley group. He emphasized that the whole
community had to grieve in that situation and it was a different type incident. He suggested that
a temporary memorial might not be needed if people knew a small permanent or semi-permanent
record would go up.
Connie Epperly suggested there should be policies in place for both as some people might not
want a permanent memorial but might want a temporary one, or vice versa.
Public Works Committee,4/2/01 3
— _ TIB Grant Agreement
Don Wickstrom said the City was in receipt of a Transportation Improvement Board Grant
agreement of$9, 082,000 for the construction phase of the South 277`h Corridor SR-167 to
Auburn Way North which Kent inherited from Auburn.
Rico Yingling moved to recommend authorizing the Mayor to sign the TIB grant
agreement, and authorize staff to accept the grant and establish a budget for the funds to
be spent within said road improvement project. The motion was seconded by Connie
Epperly and carried 3-0.
Second Supply Proiect Cost Sharing Agreement
Don Wickstrom said to keep the Tacoma Second Supply Project moving ahead, the members of
the group, which include the Covington Water District, Lakehaven Water District, Seattle, and
Kent, have agreed to advance funding for the Corp of Engineers to do the design work on the
Howard Hansen Dam. Kent's share is 5500,000 for 2001, which monies are already in the
project fund. The motion was inadvertently missed when the issue came to Committee at the
March 19`h meeting.
Connie Epperly recommended authorization for the Mayor to execute the Cost Sharing
Agreement for the Howard Hansen Dam Pre-Construction Engineering & Design upon
concurrence of the language therein by the City Attorney and the Public Works Director.
The motion was seconded by Rico Yingling and carried 3-0.
No Parking Ordinance
Assistant City Attorney Brett Vinson said the City is getting caught up on all the No Parking
signs in the annexed areas that should be included in the No Parking Ordinance. The roads were
all already signed No Parking and those existing areas are being incorporated into the ordinance
so that the City has jurisdiction. There may also be some housekeeping wording changes in the
ordinance to make things more clear.
Rico Yingling moved to approve the No Parking Ordinance and move it to Council for
approval. Connie Epperly seconded the motion and it passed 3-0.
The meeting was adjourned at 5:37 PM.
