mitigation measures agreed to between Kent and King County due to King County's location of

other related services that the parties agreed may potentially impact Kent due to the operation
I of the Regional Justice Center in downtown Kent. This Appendix C made available to Kent
money King County for additional impacts placed upon Kent by for those requiring human
services assistance upon their release from the Regional Justice Center. The parties, however,
have since agreed to transfer responsibility for managing the mitigation resources to King
County in accordance with the MOU and its Appendix C. Accordingly, the parties wish to outline
how the remaining funds within Kent's control are to be dispursed prior to the closure of the
mitigation fund.
II. AMENDMENT

provide an accurate, unduplicated count of all those experiencing homelessness The aggregate
information provided by the database includes an unduplicated count of homeless people receiving '
services, the extent and scope of homelessness and service gaps.
2. Safe Harbors will become a critical tool for the Committee to End Homelessness to King County as ,
it implements its Ten Year Plan to End Homelessness, will allow for better coordination among
agencies and programs as clients move to greater independence, and will help Seattle/King County
successfully compete for national resources, such as the Federal McKinney funds. '

indicating agreement to have the information entered into the Safe Harbors HMIS (The consent
form is currently under development and will shortly be provided to the Agency) The Agency shall ,
ensure that its sub-contractor keeps on file completed and signed consent forms, and that these are
made available for review upon request
5 Clients may not be refused services based solely on their refusal to provide information for the ,
HMIS This is not meant to prevent agencies from collecting information required for eligibility
screening or other internal agency requirements
6. The Agency shall ensure that its sub-contractor enters into the HMIS at a minimum those program '
data elements necessary to complete United Way of King County's outcomes report,and any other

RE: Russell Road Maintenance Facility Roof and Wall Improvements
This project consists of removing the old metal siding and roof and installing
seismic bracing and wood sheeting and then installing a heavier gauge of metal
siding and roofs on the two buildings more commonly known as Shed Row.
iAs the contractor began pulling the metal off of building "B" they discovered
extensive dry rot on the back wall and replaced 9011/o of the wall plate and studs.
i They also discovered that several of the beams supporting the roof had rotted,
some were totally replaced others just partially. They found a portion of the footing
along the back wall had failed and that needed replacing and a majority of the roof
joists were rotted. Additionally, they discovered that the metal protecting the
beams across the front of the building had been installed improperly allowing rain
water to continually leak onto the structural members thus the reason for so much
rot. Last but not least we had to replace some of the supporting posts as they had
rotted at the top where they connected with the beams. The contractor requested
replacing all of the joist hangers as a way to save time and money. The end result
of that was the additional cost for the hangers was $4,814 but we saved $9,814 in
ilabor for a net savings of $5,000.
They also discovered dry rot in the security wall between buildings A and B and had
to totally rebuild it. All of this additional work has delayed the project and the
contractor is asking for another 90 day extension to the contract.
i The contractor has started working on building "A" and found some dry rot. They
are finished with the back wall and did not discover as much rot as in building "B"
however, they have not yet uncovered the roof. I tell you this to let you know that
there will be additional change requests for this project.
The net changes to the contract amounts to $229,380.00 plus sales tax. I am
iasking authorization for the Mayor to sign this change order to the original contract.

Regarding: Prohibited Conduct on Public Transit Property and Vehicles - Ordinance
I MOTION: Recommend Council adopt the proposed ordinance relating to

The proposed ordinance makes it a misdemeanor to participate in disruptive behavior,
including smoking in a transit vehicle, discarding litter other than in designated receptacles,
unreasonably disturbing others, and drinking alcohol. Other activity is punishable as a civil
infraction and includes parking a vehicle in a restricted area, obstructing exit or entry on
buses, and intentionally extending an object through the door or window of a transit vehicle.

ORDINANCE NO.

1 AN ORDINANCE of the City Council of the
City of Kent, Washington relating to prohibited
conduct on public transit vehicles and property.
rRECITALS
A. Members of the public deserve to be able to use transit
vehicles and facilities without being disrupted by excessive noise, litter,
Idangerous conditions, or conduct that delays or impairs the transit
provider's ability to maintain scheduled service.
B. Addressing and preventing problems for transit passengers
' will make use of public transportation more attractive. The City of Kent
seeks to encourage increased use of public transportation because of the
jmany problems directly linked to forced reliance on the automobile,
including congested roadways, which wastes time and fuel; higher
' maintenance costs for public roads due to increasing traffic volumes, which
means a heavier tax burden on our citizens; and pollution and ecological
' damage, which means a lower quality of life for today's residents and their
children.
' C. Transit vehicles cross jurisdictional boundaries. Adopting the
' substance of King County's Transit Code of Conduct helps ensure
' 1 Prohibited Conduct on
Transit Property and Vehicles
1
consistency in the transit provider's ability to enforce common-sense
regulations designed to ensure the safety and comfort of passengers and
transit operators. Moreover, adopting the proposed ordinance removes
confusion for City of Kent law enforcement officers regarding their ability
to take action when problems occur on transit vehicles or transit facilities
within the city of Kent.

WASHINGTON, DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
ORDINANCE ,

time, are hereby adopted by reference and shall be given the same force

Background: '
As proposed in Kent's Transportation Improvement Plan and with the completion of the
S. 224th Street Project SEPA Environmental Impact Statement, it is recommended, to
design, and construct a three (3) - or five (5)- lane roadway beginning at East Valley '
Highway (84th Avenue S.) and ending at Benson Road (SR 515). The roadway would
follow one of two alternative alignments each with two proposed roadway widths, three
lanes or five lanes. One of the alternative alignments begins at S. 218th Street, and the '
other begins at S. 224th Street. Any of the four build alternatives would cross over SR
167 on a new overpass, and continue east terminating at Benson Road.
The eastern 0.6 miles of the project would be constructed by the City of Kent within '
unincorporated King County.
The S. 224th Street Project would add sidewalks, street lighting, left turn lanes, '
landscaping improvements, and a Stormwater detention/water quality treatment
system to the existing roadway, and would replace the existing S. 218th Street bridge '
over Garrison Creek.
The purpose of the project is to increase east-west vehicle capacity between the valley '
and the East Hill, thereby reducing existing and future traffic congestion in the area.
Planning for the project began in 1984 and it was added to the City's Six-Year ,
Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) in 1999 when construction of the project
became a high priority. In 2005 the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA)
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) process for the project began, culminating in ,
the publication of the S. 224th Street Project EIS, published February 1, 2007.
As described in the S. 224th Street Project EIS, adoption of the No Action Alternative
results in environmental impacts related to existing, outdated facilities that do no meet
current standards. Examples of these impacts include the following:
The bridge crossing of Garrison Creek at S. 218th Street would not be replaced, thus ,
requiring maintenance dredging of the stream that can affect fisheries habitat. If these
maintenance activities cannot take place due to permitting restrictions, flooding of S. '
218th Street would result.
Untreated stormwater runoff from existing streets would continue to enter Garrison '
Creek, thus affecting water quality.
Existing and forecast traffic congestion would adversely affect air quality, emergency ,
vehicle response time and increase overall vehicle delays on the East Hill.
Budgetary Impact: '
Costs for the project will be based on which alternative is selected by Council. It is
anticipated that the rough project costs will range between $25-$36 million. The City
has required developments in the area near the S. 224th Street Project to sign '
covenants that would help pay for the project over the past two decades. The current
value of these covenants is approximately $12.5-million or roughly 35-500/0 of the
projected total project costs. Additional funds would be sought from state grant '
agencies and future City of Kent budget allocations.

Housing and Human Services Manager Katherin Johnson stated that the State of
Washington Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) grant funds will be
used to support personnel costs that will provide services to low income families
at the Safe Havens Visitation and Exchange Center.
Bob O'Brien moved to recommend authorizing the Mayor to sign the grant
j agreement from the State of Washington Department of Social and Health
Services for $50,000.00 to fund Safe Havens services, and approving the
expenditure of funds in the Safe Havens budget. Elizabeth Albertson seconded
and the motion passed 3-0.
Item #3: 2007 Community Development Block Grant CAPER
Katherin Johnson and CDBG Coordinator Dinah Wilson reported that the 2007
Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) for the City of
Kent, Washington is a report to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) on the City's activities and accomplishments using
Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) and other funds. The report is
required by HUD annually and must be submitted by March 31, of each year. The
report includes information on how CDBG funds were used to further the goals
and strategies of the Consolidated Plan, as well as other activities executed by
the City.
Elizabeth Albertson moved to recommend approving the 2007 Consolidated
Annual Performance and Evaluation Report and authorizing the Mayor to submit
the report to HUD. Bob O'Brien seconded and the motion passed 3-0.
Item #4: King County Agreement for Jail Transition Services
Katherin Johnson explained that this agreement is a collaborative effort with King
County to assist eligible and appropriate offender-clients and defendants with
mental illness who are transitioning from the ]ail and applying for DSHS
Page 2 '
entitlements and publicly funded benefits. These benefits include accessing
mental health counseling, medications management, and case management
services in the community.
Per this agreement, the City will receive $2,400.00 per year from King County for
providing office space for one full-time equivalent (1.0 FTE) DSHS financial
application worker to be located within the Housing and Human Services office at
Kent City Hall. This effort is sponsored and supported by HB1290 Jail Services
funds.
Bob O'Brien moved to recommend Council authorize the Mayor to sign the
Memorandum of Agreement with King County for collaborative jail transition
services, including compensation from King County, and approve the expenditure
of funds in the Housing and Human Services budget, upon review by the City
Attorney. Elizabeth Albertson seconded and the motion passed 3-0.
Item #5: 2008 City Art Plan and Five-Year Art Plan
Visual Arts Coordinator Cheryl dos Remedios reported that the attached City Art
Plan lists projects carried over from 2007, details projects for 2008 and lists art
expenditures planned for 2008-2012, as part of the five year plan. The Visual
Arts Committee worked with staff to craft the plan which was approved by Kent
Arts Commission on December 18, 2007.
Elizabeth Albertson questioned the difference between the Visual Arts Committee ,
and the Arts Commission. Cheryl explained that the Visual Arts Committee is a
subset of the Arts Commission. Cheryl noted Bob O'Brien's request to have art
work published on the city's web site for viewing.
One art project Cheryl highlighted is the seed pod lanterns that will illuminate
Second Avenue and encourage pedestrian traffic between Kent Station and
downtown.
Elizabeth Albertson moved to recommend Council approve the 2008 City Art Plan i
and Five Year Plan. Bob O'Brien seconded and the motion passed 3-0.
Item #6: Earthworks Park Landmark Nomination i
Cheryl stated that the Mill Creek Canyon Earthworks Park is being nominated for
City Landmark designation by the Kent Arts Commission. If the nomination is
accepted, this will be the first historic property to be designated by the City of
Kent.
Of primary interest to the Kent Arts Commission are new avenues of funding that
would become available with historic designation. This funding could be used for
restoring, maintaining and promoting the Earthworks.
Usually, properties need to be 40 years old or older to be eligible for landmark '
designation, and we have only just celebrated the Earthworks 25th Anniversary.
Parks and Human Services Meeting Page 2
February 21, 2008
Page 3
Nevertheless, the Earthworks may qualify as "exceptional" and therefore be
I eligible for designation based on its association with the great Bauhaus master
Herbert Bayer, for the remarkable role it played in the evolution of public art,
and as a highly distinctive example of modernist landscape architecture.
One of the unique factors of the Earthworks is that it is an artwork, a public park
and a functioning water detention dam. Originally designed as a collaboration
I between the Kent Arts Commission and the Public Works Department, this
collaboration continues today. As Public Works moves forward with altering the
Earthworks to meet new Department of Ecology regulations, the Kent Arts
Commission requests that the integrity of the artwork be maintained. To this
end, the King County Historic Preservation staff have already met several times
with the Kent Cultural Division and Public Works to provide their expertise
t regarding maintaining essential design elements. There is consensus that the
outlet structure can be changed and that the Earthworks dam can be raised 2' to
create a 10,000 year spillway and increase storm water storage in the
' Earthworks basin by 18%. This work will go out to bid in late March and
construction will take place in August 2008.
In addition to nominating the Earthworks on the local level, the Kent Arts
Commission is also submitting a nomination for listing in the National Register of
Historic Places, and it is hoped that the Earthworks will be accepted and
designated "nationally significant." Along with the prestige, these designations
would qualify the landscape for federal, state and local funding programs, which
would help the city maintain and restore the landscape. Featured in many
publications, the Earthworks has most recently been included in Destination Art,
the first critical guide to the two hundred most important modern and
contemporary art sites around the world."
The Earthworks is already highly valued by art and design communities
throughout the world. If landmarked, the City of Kent will be able to capture an
entirely new audience through websites and organizations such as Historylink
and the King County Historical Societies.
Historic Preservation Ordinance (Ord 3809, KCC 14.12) requires the City Council
to approve nominations before they are sent to King County. The nomination for
Earthworks Park will be brought before the Planning & Economic Development
LCommittee for action on March 10, 2008.
Debbie Ranniger responded to the influence by Earthworks Park and her career
in landscape architecture. Cheryl substantiated Elizabeth Albertson's comment
that the landmark designation will assist in the flood control plan.
Item #7 Senior Center Weight Room Remodel Project
Lea Bishop, Manager of the Senior Activity Center reported that the fitness
center was funded in 2005 with a donation of $20,000.00 from the estate of
Parks and Human Services Meeting Page 3
February 21, 2008
Page 4
Harvey Cox, a Senior Center participant. The weight room is very popular with an
average of 25 participants per day, and a waiting period to use the equipment.
The Kent Rotary Club Sunrise recently pledged funds to remodel the senior
center fitness room and purchase new fitness equipment. The fitness area will be
expanded and numerous machines will be added; inicluding two more treadmills,
a stationary bike, an upper body development machine and a machine that
works abdominal muscles. Renovation starts next month. Facilities staff will start
the remodel next month. Rotary is planning a grand opening function. The
additional space and new equipment will be a great addition to the Senior
Center. Director Jeff Watling commended the Senior Center staff for continuing
to "break the mold" and being progressive, especially in the senior center arena.
Item #8: Aquatic Center Update r
Jeff Watling, Director of Parks, Recreation and Community Services, explained
that at a workshop, Council assigned staff two goals: Organize a citizens group
to design and deliver a campaign to promote a bond measure, and have staff
seek potential partners in the private or non-profit sector, and/or identify other
ways to reduce the capital expense of the proposed facility that could reduce the
size of a future bond measure package .
The Citizen Task Force meets regularly to work on their recommendation and
campaign plan that will be presented to Council at a workshop in April. At the
request of Council, staff explored potential partnerships. New developments such
as LA Fitness, 24 Hour Fitness and Vision Quest influenced staff to take another
look at the project. Different options are being discussed too avoid duplicating
services and to reduce the financial burden on taxpayers. Scaling down the
design from an aquatic and recreation center to a pool facility only, as well as a
more phased approach are being evaluated. Staff will review the operating
subsidy and impact on the city's budget as well.
Debbie Ranniger senses community support for a pool and supports a smaller I
scope and a phased approach to the design. The original proposal needs to be
scaled back because of changes in economics and the presence of new
investments in community. Debbie referenced the directive from Council last
month to look into partnerships and explore contracting out operational services
at the facility.
Elizabeth Albertson said that she prefers scaling back the design of the facility as
opposed to putting it on a shelf. She agrees that citizens are supportive of the
pool, but money is a concern for everyone right now. Elizabeth feels that health
clubs don't fit the needs of all the citizens. The proposed facility better
accommodates swim teams, lifeguard classes, swimming lessons, and includes a
therapy pool for patients.
Parks and Human Services Meeting Page 4

The citizen group and staff will report back at a Council Workshop in April. The
citizens group will present their recommendation and an outline of the bond
measure campaign, and staff will report on potential partners, design and
supplementing capital funding.
