to two incidents where students have been struck
while attempting such crossings. Vic Carter noted
that his daughter was one of those individuals,
having been struck by a motorcycle. They asked
that the City give consideration to placement of
a traffic signal at the site. Wickstrom suggested
that the Traffic Engineer be requested to review
the situation again, noting that the street is
State owned. Mayor Hogan suggested that until such
time as action could be taken by the City perhaps
the parents would have to gather the students and
take them across the street as a group. At Bailey' s
suggestion, Kelleher stated that the matter would
be reviewed by the Public Works Committee and that
a representative of Kent School District #415 would
be asked to attend.

widening of Woodland Way to 32 feet, installation
of curb, gutter and new storm drainage system as
well as cement concrete driveways from curb to
property line, topsoil and grass seeding. Also,
as discussed at the last Council workshop, cement
concrete sidewalks would be added to the project
at City expense if the formation of the LID is
successful. The project cost, excluding cement
concrete sidewalks, is estimated at $188 , 625 with
approximately $25, 000 paid by the City for street
overlay work associated with the Kent Springs
Transmission Main Project with the balance assessed
to the property
Wickstrom pointed out the boundaries of the proposed
LID and reviewed the scope of the project. He
noted that the project was initiated by the Public
Works Department to allow for a full street improve-
ment, after completion of a portion of the Kent
Springs Transmission Main. He noted that preliminary
5 -

September 19 , 19
STREETS investigation showed a 39% favorable response and
that 40% was required
�e had been formation
l7%ofno the
response"
He pointed out that the
which were treated as favorable votes.
LID 312 Wickstrom stated that should the LID be formed, the
work would not be completed until next summer.
The method of financing was explained, as well as
the formula used for determining the individual
assessments . Wickstrom further explained that 44
property owners were involved in the proposed LID .
The total costs come to $188 , 625, of which $25, 001)
would be picked up by the City, and the balance of
$163, 625 distributed among the property owners. He
noted that property fronting on other streets were
assessed at one-half.
The public hearing was opened by Mayor Hogan.
B. JOHNSON MOVED to accept for the record the
letter from R. G. Matich opposing the formation
of the LID. Kelleher seconded. Motion carried.
Glenn Nickerson, 606 Woodland Way, objected to the
formula used in determining the amount of the
assessments, asking that it be revised to be on
a front footage basis and further revised to
account for whether or not a driveway was included
in the paving. He also objected to the portion of
the assessment relating to drainage, noting
that
he and other property owners had put in underground
drainage in the 1960 ' s. He suggested that some
allowance be given to those property owners
who
teve Woomer,
had, in fact, already paid for drainage.
714 Woodland Way, objected to the letters whic
were sent to property owners regarding their possible
interest in the formation of the LID. He also
pointed out that instead of the 42 foot wide street
which presently exists the new street would only be
32 feet wide. Clara Kristofferson, 738 Woodland Wa}, ,
questioned the City ' s future plans for the street,
asking if it was intended to tie in with Woodland
Way S . Wickstrom noted that this was not true and
that the proposed LID was merely to bring the street
up to acceptable City standards. He pointed out
that monies available for street maintenance may
be less in which case only major arterials would
- 6 -

September 19 , 1983
STREETS benefit from maintenance. Kristofferson also
suggested that it would be wiser to do all the
LID 312 streets in the development, rather than just one.
Don Harris , 812 Woodland Way, expressed his oppo-
sition to the project and contended that the street
was adequate in its present condition. Lois Dreblow,
514 Woodland Way, also voiced her objection to the
project, contending that the streets were adequate
for the amount of traffic in the area. Wayne Beckman,
826 Woodland Way, voiced his objections to the pro-
ject as a new property owner in the area. John
Sandmark, 428 Alexander, questioned Wickstrom' s
statement that "no response" was considered to be
favorable votes and whether or not this was part
of the LID law.
Chet Riley, 616 Woodland Way, asked how many pro-
perty owners actually voted. Wickstrom clarified
that 380 of those actually voting had voted in
favor, being 13 full assessments and 4 half assess-
ments. Ginger Sather, 831 Woodland Way, suggested
that her response indicating an interest in the
project had been misconstrued as being in favor
of the LID. She also questioned the effect of
the street improvement on the property tax, and
the effect on the existing landscaping. She also
opined that unless the improvements were made to
all streets in the development, the one street
would be out of character if improved. G. Cummins,
730 Woodland Way, stated he felt the original re-
quest was for an expression of interest. Cushing
clarified that the initial letters were for an
indication of interest to determine whether or not
to pursue the LID process.
Jess Dunscomb, 537 Woodland Way, voiced his opposi-
tion to the project on the basis of inequities in
the method of assessment. There were no further
comments and BAILEY MOVED to close the public hearing ,
J. Johnson seconded. Motion carried. It was
determined after discussion that due to the lack
of interest in the LID, no further action was required
by the Council at this time. Pearl Riley expressed
concern about the cost of the project.

gested that the City get actual written votes on

Kent Senior Center - Proposed Senior Activity Center
Site. As presented at the September 12 , 1983 work-
shop, the Parks Department recommends that the City
exercise its option to acquire the Kent Shopping
Center site for renovation into a new Senior Activity
Center. Total acquisition cost is $1, 095 , 382. 50 .
Terms of the contract are: $365, 000 cash at closing ,
less monies previously paid, $365, 000 plus accrued
interest within 12 months of closing and $365 , 382 . 50
plus accrued interest within 24 months of closing.
City administration recommends that the first install-
ment be a loan from the Capital Improvement Fund.
8 -
September 19 , 1983
PARKS & A letter from the Chamber of Commerce, included in
RECREATION the packet, suggested that the option be extended
for 60 days to allow time for addressing such pro-
blems as drainage and acquisition of adjacent pro-
perties . LEAHY MOVED that the City exercise its
option on the Kent Shopping Center site with at
least interim funding to come from a $365, 000
(plus closing costs) loan from the Capital Improve-
ment Fund, which includes repayment to the Parks
Department budget for monies previously paid.
Bailey seconded. Kelleher noted that for the sake
of clarity he wished to propose an amendment to
the motion and MOVED to direct the Parks Director
to renegotiate the extension of the existing agree-
ment or the execution of a new option for a period
of two months (60 days) under the same or substanti-
ally similar terms for the acquisition of the site
under consideration; that the Mayor be authorized
to execute such an agreement; and that the matter
be brought before the Council prior to the termina-
tion of the new option period for consideration of
the acquisition of the site. Bi.teman seconded.
In response to Kelleher ' s proposed amendment to the
motion, Bailey read from a letter given to him by
Parks Director Wilson. The letter, dated September
15, was from Robert Jiles, agent for William Vance,
General Partner of the Kent Shopping Center, and
declined extending the September 20 expiration date
of the Earnest Money Agreement for the purchase of
the Shopping Center by the City of Kent. Bailey
suggested that in view of the letter, Kelleher' s
motion would be moot. Kelleher disagreed, noting
that his amendment was mainly for negotiating for
the extension and because of the possibility that
the property might still be available for future
purchase after the present option expires. He
agreed that the possibility existed that if the
City failed to exercise its option and no extension
could be negotiated that particular site could be
lost. However, he expressed the opinion that by
exercising the option the City would be closing
out all other possible sites. He clarified for
Bailey that he was not opposed to the site, although
he did have some concerns, but suggested that the
Council had not been given ample time to explore all
alternatives.

September 19 , 1983
PARKS & Brad Bell of Bell-Anderson Realty, representing
RECREATION Mr. Vance, stated that the option would not be
renewed. Kelleher declined to withdraw the pro-
posed amendment and it FAILED, with only Kelleher
and Biteman supporting it.
Biteman raised several questions regarding the
Kent Shopping Center site, noting that he had
discussed the matter with several senior citizens
who shared some of his concerns. He pointed out
that many of the seniors felt that if they did not
select this particular site, no new facility would
be built at all. He also referred to the traffic
problems which now exist in the area which would
be intensified if the facility were built at that
location. Biteman made reference to the drainage
problem also and the fact that there were pilings
under the structures and therefore improvements
would be restricted, noting that some portions of
the center were already sinking. Biteman also
questioned the advisability of building the Senior
Center in the downtown area and questioned whether
it should be located on the outskirts of town. He
noted that seniors had stated that not many of
them shopped in the downtown area when visiting
the Senior Center. Biteman also questioned the
cost of raising the portion of Mill Creek now flow-
ing under the Center so that it could be part of
the landscaping. He also raised questions as to
the cost of constructing a new building as opposed
to reconstructing an old existing building. Bailey
responded to some of Biteman' s questions by noting
that of the approximately 75 seniors who had
attended a public meeting only 3 objected to this
site. He also noted that in the preliminary studies
done by the consultants most individuals preferred
to have the Center within walking distance of the
downtown core area. Robyn Bartelt noted that while
no actual poll had been taken, some of the seniors
were concerned about the cost as well as over the
comments made by the Chamber of Commerce.
Woods suggested that. the seniors were not as much
concerned over the location of the center as they
were about the type of facility they would be getting.
- 10 -
September 19 , 1983
PARKS & She suggested that the seniors had commented about
RECREATION the advantages of being close to the park and close
to senior housing but were concerned that if they
did not agree to this particular renovation they would
get no new center at all . Woods stated that the
Parks Committee and individual Council members were
committed to a top notch senior center, wherever
located. Kelleher concurred with Woods ' comments,
adding that he wished to emphasize that his pro-
posed amendment was not .intended to imply that the
Shopping Center site would result in an inferior
senior center and that he would vote in favor of
the motion. B. Johnson referred to the Chamber
letter and also questioned whether the Big O tire
store would be acquired as part of the plan. Helen
Adams noted that it was difficult to secure firm
commitments until Council action was taken on the
proposed site. B. Johnson also pointed out that
public transportation was available to the proposed
downtown site. Biteman concurred with B. Johnson
but suggested the center should be built from
scratch. Parks Director Wilson suggested the
Shopping Center site was located in an area to
serve a larger number of the citizens. He noted
that Kent' s senior center is one of the most success-
ful in the State of Washington and could be more
so with the expanded facility at the location pro-
posed. There was no further discussion and the
original motion CARRIED, with only Biteman voting
nay.
BUSINESS Pawnbrokers/Secondhand Dealers Ordinance. A public
LICENSES hearing on proposed changes to the pawnbrokers/
secondhand dealers ordinance was initiated on
August 1. The hearing was continued to August 15,
and continued again to this meeting. Copies of
the August 11, 1983 draft of the proposed new
ordinance were distributed in the agenda packet.
A memo from Police Officer Koransky dated today
was distributed tonight, showing proposed changes
to the draft ordinance.
- 11 -
September 19 , 1983
BUSINESS The section of the ordinance relating to definitions
LICENSES of "used goods dealers" , "pawnbrokers" and "scrap
metal" was discussed, with Assistant City Attorney
Heavey clarifying the intent of the ordinance and
comparing this ordinance with the State statute.
Bailey expressed concern as to restrictions which
would be placed on jewelers, particularly in the
instance of estate sales or in trade-ins on jewelry.
Heavey noted that the State statutes pre-empt City
law and that the City cannot enact an ordinance
which was contrary to State law.
Woods and Biteman questioned the portion of the
proposed ordinance which required fingerprinting
of licensees. Koransky stated that this was a
common practice for real estate people and for
school teachers. Upon Biteman' s question , Koransky
noted that this proposed ordinance would affect
approximately 20 businesses in Kent and that the
license fees would probably total less than $1, 000.
Skewes pointed out that regulating the conduct of
such businesses was the point of the ordinance,
not the amount of the fees. He stated that if the
City does not pass an ordinance such as the one
proposed, the City could operate under the State
law. It was determined that many cities follow
State law. Biteman noted that these businesses
already have a business license, whereas garage
sales and swap meets do not. Koransky noted that
swap meets would be addressed separately and that
the Planning Department was addressing permits
for garage sales .
The public hearing was opened by Niayor Hogan. Bill
Stewart of Stewart ' s .jewelry store noted that the
merchants wanted to help the Police Department solve
their problems, but that this solution was an
"overkill" . Lou Ma_renckos of Lucky Loans noted
that the changes to the August. 11 draft ordinance,
as shown in Koransky' s memo, had not been seen by
the businessmen. Steven_ DeForest , attorney for the
Midway Swap Meet, noted that parts of the ordinance
which described swap meet operations should be
deleted if swap meets were to be addressed as a
separate item. Les _Thomas of Blessing' s Jewelry
- 12 -
September 19, 1983
BUSINESS noted that the impact of the section dealing with
LICENSES trade-ins would greatly affect jewelers. Bill
Stewart suggested that the hearing be held over
to allow the businessmen time to study the phanges
proposed in Koransky ' s memo.
J. Johnson stated that in the interim the matter
should be referred to the Public Safety Committee
with the City Attorney, Police Chief and the business-
men invited. Heavey explained parts of the State
law for Cooke of the Chamber of Commerce. BAILEY
MOVED to refer the matter to the Public Safety
Committee and for each firm having an interest
in this matter to be notified by mail of the date
and time of the committee meeting and to continue
the hearing, J. Johnson seconded. Motion carried.
It was determined by Mayor Hogan that Officer Koran-
sky had a list of those businesses which had an
interest in this ordinance and that he would notify
each business. Bailey noted that anyone else who
wished to be notified of the time of the Public
Safety meeting should advise Koransky so that
they may be notified. (The Public Safety meeting
was later set for October 6 at 8: 00 a.m. )
BUDGET Valley-Com. Mayor Hogan requested that the Public
Safety Committee members as well as other Council
members visit the existing Valley-Com site. She
noted that funds would be requested in their budget
to review possible alternatives to the present
site, which is much too small . She noted that
she and other interested Mayors had visited the
facilities also. Cushing pointed out that the
request would be handled as part of the budget
process .
NLC National League of Cities. Mayor Hogan noted that
CONFERENCE she and B. Johnson would be attending the National
League of Cities conference. In response to her
request, BAILEY MOVED that B. Johnson be designated
as the voting deleqate and Mayor_ Hogan as alternate.
Woods seconded. Motion carried.
PLANNING Resignation. The Mayor noted receipt of a letter
COMMISSION of resignation from Mike Powers from the Kent
Planning Commission.

DESIGN Earthworks Park. Mayor Hogan noted that she and
AWARENESS Nancy Leahy had met with Governor Spellman to
MONTH film some public service announcements at the
Mill Creek Earthworks Park in conjunction with
Design Awareness Month. She noted the Governor' s
favorable comments about the project.
ANNEXATTION Des Moines. Cushing referred to a memorandum sub-
mitted to the Council a short time ago regarding
the City of Des Moines proposed annexation to
straighten their westerly boundary lines. He
noted that the matter is now pending before the
Boundary Review Board and the City has been asked
whether it is our intent to have the Board take
jurisdiction. He noted that it was still not to
Kent' s advantage to exchange the area suggested
with Des Moines, and it was possible that the
areas which are contemplated as going to Des Moines
could be included in the City of Kent. He noted
that the City was not asking the Boundary Review
Board to invoke jurisdiction at this time.
PRIMARY Mayor Hogan noted that inasmuch as the City Clerk
ELECTION would be away, she had volunteered to take the
primary election results from the County at her
home phone.
CITY Bailey suggested that the Mayor ' s name be printed
STATIONERY on the new City letterhead. Mayor Hogan objected,
noting that she has always opposed having any
individual names on City stationery.

COMMITTEES Finance Committee would meet on September 30 at
