RE: #CPA-2007-4 / #CPZ-2007-2 Midway Subarea Plan
INTRODUCTION:
At the February �17th City Council workshop, staff presented an overview of Envision
Midway, the collaborative planning effort between the City of Kent and the City of Des
Moines. The project focuses on the Pacific Highway South transportation corridor, the
anticipated high-capacity transit improvements, and implementation of consistent land use
s along the irregular city boundaries. Since February, staff consolidated the
regulation g g y
comments and ideas from the extensive public outreach to develop graphics depicting land
use development scenarios, and began preparation of draft preliminary subarea plan and
implementation measures.
BACKGROUND:
Included in the agenda packet are the land use concepts listed below reflecting the
possibilities for transit oriented development (TOD) around future light rail stations. The
discussion at the August 18th workshop will help staff finalize the drafting of a Midway
Subarea Plan, a Planned Action Ordinance (PAO), TOD Design Guidelines and development
regulations. Staff anticipates beginning public workshops and hearings before the Land Use
& Planning Board in September.
A. Scenario 3.0 - Broad land uses that reflect Transit Oriented Village nodes around
proposed light rail stations separated by an existing Highway Commercial Corridor.
B. Rail Station Location Options - 3 options considered by stakeholders and public. SR-99
reflects Sound Transit's option considered for budgeting purposes; the other options
were generated from public discussion. Note the pro & con statements and elevations
of the light rail.
C. Light Rail Station SR-99 East - This option reflects input from final workshops that
reviewed the above 3 rail station location options and depicts the PAO study area. This
option depicts more open space, reduced public roads, and an increase in private roads
and pedestrian connections from the other options.
At the August 18th workshop, staff will help facilitate a dialog in an effort to further refine
the vision. -

RE: Updated Residential Street Light Cost Comparison for Design and
Construction Standards
I
BACKGROUND: The Design and Construction Standards have not been
comprehensively updated since 1993, with the exception of minor modifications as
approved by the Public Works Director. Over the past two years, staff has worked
to complete a thorough review and update of the standards and details. Staff have
made multiple updates and formal presentations to the Land Use and Planning
Board and the Public Works Committee.
At the Public Works Committee on April 6, 2009, staff was directed to provide a
breakdown of costs associated with Design and Construction Standards new street
light design standards. It was also requested that a cost comparison be done to
show the difference in costs between PSE owned and maintained versus City of
Kent owned and maintained lighting systems. This information was prepared and
i included in the agenda packet for the Committee meeting on May 4, 2009.
Following the City Council Meeting on May 19, 2009, staff was directed to
coordinate with PSE and the Master Builders Association to discuss the figures used
in the cost comparison documents.
SUMMARY: Detailed information was provided to PSE and Master Builders via
email on May 21, 2009. It was requested that they review the information and
schedule meetings the week of June 8 to discuss the items included, as well as to
go over any figures they provided. Additional information relating to calculations for
the City's operation and maintenance costs was provided via email on June 5, 2009.
Staff met with representatives from PSE on June 9, 2009, and PSE provided a
detailed cost-basis accounting breakdown of the monthly maintenance charges for
the three schedules: Schedule 24 is for City Owned and Maintained systems,
Schedule 53C is for City Owned and PSE Maintained systems, and Schedule 52 is
for PSE Owned and Maintained systems. It was determined that staff needed to
calculate the costs associated with limited Operation and Maintenance (O&M) for
lamp replacement and preventative maintenance, as well as the capital and
material costs for monthly O&M with the Schedule 24 option.
Lighting Cost Comparison I
July 20, 2009
Page: 2
In the course of reviewing information, it was decided that we do not currently have
adequate data for all of the line items suggested by PSE. For the estimates used on
the attached cost comparison, the PSE figure was used with a 20% contingency
factor to allow for any differences in buying power. We believe this is a conservative
estimate of what the true costs would be, and until discussing this issue in detail
did all parties understand all the costs associated with street lighting installations
under all conditions and schedules.
Master Builders submitted a cost estimate on June 26 that had been prepared by a
private lighting consultant. A meeting with Master Builders and PSE was held on
July 10, with more modifications made to numbers submitted by all three parties. It
was agreed that PSE would be willing to design lighting systems to the City's
proposed standards, with the exception of a service cabinet, for a Schedule 52
option where PSE owns and maintains the systems.
Based on revised numbers, and another meeting with PSE and Master Builders on
July 15, the attached spreadsheets represent the agreed upon estimates that best
represent a direct comparison of all lighting system options.
The PSE owned and maintained options provide a lower cost to the City, but do not
allow the City the same flexibility in operations and maintenance. Should the City
decide to change direction, those systems would need to be purchased from PSE at
a later date. l
Other jurisdictions in the area that use a similar model of City owned and limited
PSE maintenance include Auburn, Renton, Tukwila and Puyallup. Bellevue has
started to use this model for systems along arterial roads.
RECOMMENDATION: The Public Works Department recommends adoption of the
Design and Construction Standards, with the residential street light systems
designed to the new standards as stated in the document. Ownership of the
Residential Street Lighting System is a policy decision of the Council, and Council
may want additional short and long term impacts discussed before making a final
decision. In the meantime new street light installations can be PSE Owned built to
City Standards until such time as a final decision is made.

public improvements."
RECITALS
A. The City last developed and enacted construction standards
ffor public works related improvements on May 18, 1993. Since 1993
construction techniques have changed dramatically, necessitating revision
i to the City's construction standards. Public Works Department staff has
worked to complete a thorough review and update of the standards and
standard plans.
i' B. As part of the review and development process, the City held
focus group meetings with developers and other professionals on October
28 and 30 of 2008. A draft of the revised construction standards was also
sent to King County Metro Wastewater Treatment Division for approval per
the requirements of an Interlocal Agreement. On November 3, 2008 the
City received approval of the draft from King County Metro Wastewater
Treatment Division.

SIX YEAR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
2010-2015
Introduction
What is the Six Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)?
The Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a
short-range planning document that is annually updated based on
needs and policies identified through a variety of sources. Project and
financial development involve interactions with many groups and
agencies at the local, regional, state and federal levels. It represents
Kent's current list of needed projects that may begin work in the next
six years. The document also identifies secured or reasonably
expected revenue sources for each of the projects included in the TIP.
Typically, projects listed in the first three years of the document are
shown as having secured funding or there are reasonable expectations
to acquire those funds, while projects in the last three years can be
partially funded and be seeking funding partners. All projects are
consistent with the City's adopted 2004 Comprehensive Plan.
Mandated by State Law
j State law requires that each city develop a local TIP and that it
be updated annually (RCW 35.77.010). In order for cities to compete
for transportation funding grants from Federal and State sources most
granting agencies require that projects be included in the TIP.
Summary
The 2010 Six Year TIP contains no substantive changes from last
year's Program. All projects and programs have been reviewed for
adjustments in scope and budget. Once adopted, the TIP helps to
guide funding and implementation priorities during the development of
the transportation portion of the city's Six-Year Capital Improvement
Program (CIP). The Ongoing Citywide Programs section now includes
programs which have been shown in the City's Capital Improvement
Program but not previously in the TIP. There are no new capital
projects in this TIP.

JUSTIFICATION: Continued development in the northern Kent industrial area, and high
levels of congestion along West Valley Highway between the South 1801h
Street and South 196th Street corridors, mandate additional north-south
arterial capacity. This project provides some relief for South 1801h Street,
South 196th Street, and South 212th Street intersections along West Valley
Highway. It also provides improved access to the South 1961h Street
corridor from industrial development along 72"d Avenue South by
constructing the missing link between South 2001h Street and South 196th
Street.

116th Avenue SE. This project includes bike lanes on both sides of the
roadway. The project will include construction of full-width paving;
concrete curbs, gutters, and sidewalks; street lighting; storm drainage;

PROJECT
h
JUSTIFICATION: Southeast 256 tStreet is a two-lane roadway with no curbs, gutters or
sidewalks and a limited street light system. During peak hours, the
roadway cannot accommodate the traffic volumes due to the large
number of vehicles blocking the roadway while waiting to turn left into
driveways. The widening of Southeast 2561h Street also alleviates traffic
on SR 516 (Kent Kangley Road) as the two roads essentially run parallel
to each other. The project will increase the capacity of this roadway by
adding new general purpose lanes and a center two-way left turn lane.
This project will connect the SR 515/SR 516 intersection with the
improvements already existing on Southeast 256th Street east of 116th
Avenue Southeast and the improvements along 116th Avenue Southeast
between Southeast 256th Street and Kent Kangley Road.

JUSTIFICATION: This road lies in the heart of the City's manufacturing area. Heavy truck
traffic means pavement condition on South 2281h Street has deteriorated
significantly. Kent is the second largest warehouse/distribution center on
the west coast with over 40 million square feet of industrial space. With
the completion of major portions of the 228th corridor and the anticipated
increase in the number of daily truck trips, the pavement will continue to
deteriorate at an accelerated rate. This project will maintain a major
freight corridor to the ports and protect the City's investment in
transportation infrastructure.

DESCRIPTION: Construct a new three lane roadway from Southeast Kent Kangley Road
(SR 516) to Southeast 2561h Street including rebuilding the traffic signals
at the intersection of Southeast Kent Kangley Road and 1081h Avenue
Southeast and installing a new traffic signal at the intersection of
Southeast 2561h Street and 1091h Avenue Southeast. The project includes
right turn lanes northbound on 1091h at Southeast 2561h Street and
Southbound on 1091h at Kent Kangley Road. The project will also include
construction of full width paving; concrete curbs, gutters and sidewalks;
`Sharrows' (if approved by FHWA); street lighting; storm drainage;
landscaping; utilities and appurtenances. As part of this project, the
eastbound left-turn lane from Kent Kangley Road to Southeast 256th Street

PROJECT
JUSTIFICATION: This project will relieve congestion at the Y intersection of 104th Avenue
Southeast (Benson Highway) (SR 515)/Kent Kangley Road (SR
516)/Southeast 256th Street by improving the traffic flow along SR 516.
It will eliminate the left turn pocket from SR 516 to Southeast 256th
Street and redirect that traffic along SR 516 to 108th Avenue Southeast.
There will be a new left turn pocket constructed for motorists wishing to
travel north on 1081h Avenue Southeast to Southeast 256th Street. By
moving these left turning movements further to the east, away from the
congested Y intersection, all directions of traffic will be able to flow
more efficiently. This extension will also provide another way for East
Hill residents to have direct access to the business-by-pass route and
better access to the commercial area south of the Kent Kangley
Road/104th Avenue Southeast intersection.

to the roadway, between the Green River Bridge and East Willis Street
(SR 516). This project will include the removal and replacement of failing I
pavement sections and a full-width asphalt concrete overlay of the entire
roadway. Also included in this project is the replacement of curbs, gutters
and sidewalks as well as minor storm drainage improvements.

PROJECT
JUSTIFICATION: The existing pavement along this section of Central Avenue South is
exhibiting signs of distress, as demonstrated by "alligatoring",
longitudinal cracking, and cracking of the curbs and gutters. The service
life of this roadway has been reached, necessitating reconstruction of the
pavement to extend the service life of the roadway, and prevent further
pavement degradation. The sidewalk system is sub-standard in many
locations and in need of replacement.

PROJECT
JUSTIFICATION: The existing roadway system cannot accommodate the current or forecast
east-west traffic volumes between Kent's East Hill and the Green River
Valley floor. In order to meet transportation concurrency requirements of
the Growth Management Act, additional east-west vehicle capacity is
required. Intersections along South 2081h/2121h Street and
James/Southeast 240th Streets are also at or over capacity. It is not
feasible to widen the James/Southeast 240th Street and South 208th/212th
Street `corridors' enough to accommodate forecast traffic volumes
without additional east-west capacity because of existing development
and topographic constraints.

JUSTIFICATION: The City of Kent assessed the condition of its street network in 2008. It was
found that many of the streets within the network exhibit deficiencies that reflect
they are beyond their expected performance life and in need of a
maintenance/rehabilitation overlay, or some amount of reconstruction. Moreover,
historically, the amount of pavement resurfacing, rehabilitation, and
reconstruction monies the City has budgeted each year has been insufficient to
address the deficiencies of its street network. Insufficient budgets to perform this
necessary work results in more expensive maintenance and rehabilitation options.

needed to meet the increasing demand for signalized intersection control
and the constant need for traffic counts to monitor vehicle volumes and
behavior. It also supports the replacement of old, outdated traffic signal
equipment at currently signalized intersections. The priorities for traffic
signals will be set by transportation system signal warrant studies which
include studies of volumes, collision history, pedestrian mobility needs, I
and roadway geometry. This program also helps the City maintain level ,1
of service standards necessary to maintain concurrency as required by the
Growth Management Act.

Calming Program in order to make informed, systematic, decisions about
actions to correct those concerns. There has been a substantial increase in
requests to the City for installation of physical devices within the last I
couple of years that resulted in a significant increase in the number of l
speed and volume studies and required numerous public meetings. This
program will allow for adequate traffic studies to keep up with the
increased demand, support 1.25 FTE to perform the studies and work with I
residents toward resolving traffic concerns, and fund the purchase,

PROJECT#39: Transit Now Service Partnership Program
Ongoing Citywide Program
DESCRIPTION: Transit Now is a voter-approved King County Metro Transit program
which provides incentives for local jurisdictions to improve local transit
operations by entering into a direct financial partnership with Metro for
providing that additional service. Metro will match a partner's
contribution on a 2:1 basis. Transit Now requires a minimum contribution
from the partner of$100,000 per year for five (5) years to add service on
an existing route or $200,000 per year for five (5) years to add a new
i route. Kent was successful on two proposals, one to add new daily shuttle
service through The Lakes and Riverview communities to the Kent Transit
Center, and one to increased frequencies on the Route 153 between Kent
and Renton.

PROJECT
JUSTIFICATION: Transit service (bus & train) between Kent and downtown Seattle is
generally competitive with automobile driving during the commute
hours. Transit service within Kent and between Kent and its neighboring
jurisdictions has serious deficiencies. Due to low frequency, transit is
simply not a viable option for travelers who need to make a trip during
the midday, commuters working non-traditional shifts, and peak hour
commuters who are concerned that there is no safety net service should
they need to travel during the midday. These partnership proposals allow
us to buy our way into providing additional service to our community that
we would not otherwise be able to obtain.

OTHER BUSINESS
A. Economic and Community Development Department Reorganization.
(CFN-198) CAO Hodgson explained that the proposed ordinance would restructure
and reorganize City departments to bring all permitting and economic development
functions within one newly created department called the "Economic and Community
Development Department." He added that it would be led by the current Economic
Development Director, Ben Wolters.
Albertson moved to adopt Ordinance No. 3926 which is intended to expedite the local
permitting process by reorganizing existing intra-departmental permitting functions
into a new single department to be known as the "Economic and Community
Development Department". Raplee seconded.
Clark spoke in opposition to the ordinance, stating that it would create a super-
department, and that it is not revenue-neutral as presented by Administration, in that
nearly 50 employees are being delegated to the Economic Development Director i
without a change in his job and title. He also voiced concern about the loss of the
Council Secretary, and about incentives and conflicts between departments in the
future. Harmon said although he is in favor of a reorganization of economic
development and planning, he would have preferred that an outside agency be used
rather than being done internally, and said it should not have been rushed.
Thomas spoke in favor, noting that this reorganization by the Mayor is for the
betterment of the city. Danielson said the new permit system will be efficient, and }
that 50 people will be working toward economic development as well as planning. 1
Albertson said that this idea is not entirely new, and that although she is concerned
about the large size, she will support the ordinance. Upon a roll call vote, the motion
to adopt Ordinance 3926 carried 5-2 with Clark and Harmon opposed. Mayor Cooke
expressed thanks to the Council for their due diligence on this project.
B. Regional Valley Cities Broadband Grant Application. (CFN-818) Information
Technology Department Director Carrington explained that this project will include
development of a regional fiber optic ring to interconnect all participating cities and I
agencies including the Valley Cities Association, and that the fiber optic ring will I
enhance interagency communication, emergency.response, and municipal services.
He noted that this is the first phase of the project and said that additional cities,
public safety agencies, school districts, and so forth may be added in the future.
Clark moved to adopt Resolution No. 1812 authorizing City of Kent's participation I
with the Valley Cities Association (VCA) and Federal Way in a federal grant application I
opportunity through the Federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and
authorizing the City of Auburn to act as the City's agent in the grant application
process. Danielson seconded and the motion carried. I

MOTION: Recommend Council adopt the proposed ordinance, in a form

RCW 4.96.020.

SUMMARY:
During its 2009 legislative session, the Washington State Legislature adopted
Engrossed Substitute House Bill (ESHB) 1553 amending the tort pre-claim
requirements set forth in RCW 4.96.020. A copy of this bill is attached for your
review. The prior statute generally left the structure of that claim form to the
agency's discretion. However, with the adoption of ESHB 1553, the legislature
amended the form and its requirements.
ESHB 1553 provides that a claim can be filed on a local government agency's claim
form, or a standard tort claim form that is available online by the Risk Management
Division of the Washington State Office of Financial Management. While the City
may create its own claim form and may request additional information beyond the
state's requirements, the City cannot deny a claim because it was not made on the
City's form or because it did not provide the additional information requested by the
City. Presenting either claim form satisfies the statute's pre-claim requirements.
This ordinance is necessary to amend section 2.96.010 of the Kent City Code to
implement the provisions of ESHB 1553.
BUDGET IMPACT:
None.

l AN ORDINANCE of the City Council of the
City of Kent, Washington, amending section
2.97.010 of the Kent City Code, entitled "Claims,
Presentment, Filing Process, and Appointed

j adopted by the state legislature during its 2009
legislative session, which amends the tort pre-
claim requirements of Ch. 4.96 RCW.

RECITALS
A. During its 2009 legislative session, the Washington State
Legislature adopted Engrossed Substitute House Bill (ESHB) 1553
amending the tort pre-claim requirements set forth in RCW 4.96.020. The
prior statute generally left the structure of that claim form to the agency's
discretion. However, with the adoption of ESHB 1553, the legislature
amended the form and its requirements.
B. ESHB 1553 provides that a claim can be filed on a local
government agency's claim form, or a standard tort claim form that is
available online by the Risk Management Division of the Washington State
Office of Financial Management. While the City may create its own claim
form and may request additional information beyond the state's
requirements, the City cannot deny a claim because it was not made on
1 Claim for Damages Form
Amend KCC 2.91.010
the City's form or because it did not provide the additional information
requested by the City.
C. This ordinance is necessary to amend section 2.96.010 of the
Kent City Code to implement the provisions of ESHB 1553.
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENT,
WASHINGTON, DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

2. SUMMARY STATEMENT: Authorize the Mayor to exe ute contracts, up to a
maximum of $1,500,000, to purchase water-filled flood pr tection structures to
be used to protect the City of Kent from flood threats to p rchase other types of

' for the upcoming winter rainy season. Although funds to urchase these flood
protection structures was included in the recent bond sale uthorized by Council,
those funds will not be available until late in the summer. In order to begin

PW Committee Meeting Date: August 3, 2009
From: Michael Mactutis, PE, Environmental Engineering Manager
Through: Larry Blanchard, Public Works Director
Subject: Green River Levee Flood Protection Amendment to
Purchase of Flood Protection Structures
Motion: Amend the July 7, 2009, authorization for the Public Works
Director to execute a contract to purchase water-filled flood protection
structures to be used to protect the City of Kent from flood threats up to a
maximum of $1,500,000 to allow for purchase of other types of flood
' protection structures and all necessary equipment and contracts to install
and protect said structures.
Summary: The Howard Hanson Dam controls the stormwater runoff from the
Upper Green River Watershed, an area 220 square miles in size, and protects the
valley area of the City of Kent through its control of the flows in the Green River.
During the storm event in January, 2009, there was excessive seepage through the
right abutment on the dam. The US Army Corps of Engineers is working to
determine the path of that seepage. However, it is likely the Howard Hanson Dam
will not be able to be operated to hold full capacity in its reservoir for at least one
upcoming winter rainy season.
A bond sale was recommended for approved by the Public Works Committee on June
1, 2009 and the Operations Committee on June 2, 2009 and this bond sale included
$1,500,000 to be used for temporary flood protection from the Green River.
However, due to the length of timing of the process of the bond sale, the funding
will not be available until late in the summer of 2009. In order to begin purchasing
the large quantities of flood protection materials which will be needed along the
Green River Levees this winter, the Public Works Department requested and
received approval from the City Council on July 7, 2009, to begin purchasing water-
filled flood protection structures in advance of the bond funding being available in
City accounts.
Upon further research of available flood protection structures, it has become
apparent that the City will want to purchase different types of structures for different
areas of the City. Some of the water filled structures are more quickly installed than
other types, such as sand filled structures, but will require more vigilance to protect
against damage. Consequently, Public Works is requesting authorization to
purchase various types of flood protection structures and all necessary equipment
and contracts to install and protect said structures within the authorized
$1,500,000.

Re: COPS Hiring Recovery Program Grant#2009RKWX0882
ORI#: WA01707

Dear Chief of Police Strachan:
j Once again,I would like to congratulate you on receiving a COPS Hiring Recovery Program
(CHRP)award. Your award is for 2 officer positions and$572,374 in federal funds over a three-year
grant period. Your agency may now begin hiring or rehiring officers to fill CHRP grant-funded
jpositions.
' Enclosed in this package is your grant award. The Award Document must be signed and
returned to the COPS Office within 90 days to officially accept your grant. The Frequently
J Asked Questions(FAQ)document included in this package should be helpful in answering any
questions you may have about accepting your award, or requesting additional time to do so.
Beginning on the reverse side of your Award Document,you will find a total of three pages
of CHRP Grant Terms and Conditions. You should read and familiarize yourself with all 16 terms
and conditions that apply to your CHRP award.
A supplemental online award package for CHRP grantees can be found at
I http://www.cops.usdoj.gov/Default.asp?Item=2271. We strongly encourage you to visit this site
immediately to access a variety of important and helpful documents associated with your award,
including the CHRP Grant Owner's Manual,which specifies the terms,conditions,and requirements
of your grant. Also,within a few weeks you should receive an important package from the Office of
the Chief Financial Officer,Office of Justice Programs,which will contain the forms and instructions
necessary to begin drawing down funds for your grant.
As mentioned at the time of announcement,each CHRP application was subject to a thorough
review,and some of your application information may have been updated or corrected from the
original version submitted to COPS. If you have not yet done so,please access your application at
lam://www.cops.usdoi.gov/Default.asp?Itein=464,and print and maintain a final copy for your
records(if you are unable to print a copy of your application,please contact the COPS Office at
800.421.6770).
The Financial Clearance Memorandum(FCM)and Final Funding Memorandum(FFM)
included in this package reflect allowable costs and amounts under your award. The FCM specifies
the amount of COPS Hiring Recovery Program funds awarded to your agency for officer salaries and
approved benefits,while the FFM contains the final officer salary and fringe benefit categories and
1
I
I
amounts for which your agency was approved. Please review both documents carefully,as your
agency may only be reimbursed for the amounts and approved cost categories indicated.
As a reminder,under CHRP all positions awarded(or an equal number of veteran officers) '
must initiate or enhance community policing in accordance with the community policing plan as
described within Section 5 of your application. If for any reason your agency finds that your
community policing plans have significantly changed from those outlined in your application(e.g.,
because you received fewer officers than originally requested and thus must alter the scope of your
community policing plans),please revise the plan accordingly and submit it to the COPS Office for
review and approval. You should also contact the COPS Office if,for any reason,you need to modify 4
your grant award. This includes any reallocation of your awarded positions across the three primary !
hiring categories(i.e.,new hires,rehires of officers laid off pre-application,and rehires of officers laid
off or scheduled to be laid off post-application).
As explained at the time of grant application,there are significant reporting requirements on
the use of CHRP funds. In addition to quarterly financial and programmatic progress reports
submitted to the COPS Office,CHRP grantees are also required to submit quarterly Recovery Act
reports within 10 days after the end of each calendar quarter to www.FederatPepoiting.gov. These
Recovery Act reports will be made available to the public on www.Recoveiy.gov. All grantees must
be registered as authorized users prior to submitting reports to www.FederatReporting.gov. The
registration function on www.Federa[Reporting.gov will be available no later than August 26,2009.
Please note that registration with this website also requires users to be registered with the Central
Contractor Registration(CCR)and have a Dun&Bradstreet Data Universal Numbering System
(DUNS)number. Registering with CCR and obtaining a DUNS number take additional processing
time,so your agency should take immediate steps to meet these requirements in advance of

MEMORANDUM
TO: King County ARRA JAG Grantees
FROM: Diane Pilon, SPD
SUBJECT: King County Joint Application Timeline
Thank you to all of you for providing such detailed information for our joint King County
ARRA JAG funding application. I believe we were among the first jurisdictions to
receive an award. We have received our full allocation of$4,882,208,which will be
divided among participating jurisdictions per the Memorandum of Understanding
submitted with our application.
There are a few more steps that need to be completed before spending can begin. DOJ
has placed a special condition(pertaining to the holding of a public hearing) on our
award. This special condition must be removed before jurisdictions can obligate or
expend funds awarded through the ARRA JAG. This public hearing requirement will
be fulfilled through the City of Seattle's Ordinance process.
i
It looks like this hearing will take place near the second week of September. I will keep
each of you informed if this timing changes significantly.
i
Once the City of Seattle has held the Ordinance hearing, I will submit documentation to
DOJ, who will then issue a Grant Adjustment Notice releasing this special condition. For
past JAG grants, DOJ's review of our documentation and issuance of the adjustment
notice has taken a few weeks.
I will also be sending out Interagency Agreements no later than August 14. These
Interagency Agreements will outline grant requirements, stimulus reporting requirements,
grant special conditions, and billing procedures. Please let me know who the Primary
Point of Contact will be for project billing and grant reporting, for inclusion in the
Interagency Agreement.
Thank you very much, and please feel free to contact me at 206-386-1996 or
diane.pilon@seattle.gov, with any questions about next steps!

3. MOVE TO RECOMMEND COUNCIL AUTHORIZE THE PARKS DIRECTOR TO
fAPPROVE THE 90-DAY EXTENSION AND ANY OTHER FUTURE TIME
EXTENSIONS FOR THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE AUKEEN
( COURT RENOVATION PROJECT.
I Facilities Manager Charlie Lindsey advised that the City of Kent ("Tenant") is
requesting that the parties to the Aukeen Lease Agreement dated December 22,
2008 ("Lease"), enter into a mutual written agreement, per Section 3.C.3 of the
lease, to extend by ninety (90) days the six (6) month deadline for the City
submitting .100 percent plan development for review and approval by King County
("Landlord"). The Six (6) month deadline is referenced in Section 3.0 and 2.B.5 of
the Lease, and Section 2.3 of Exhibit C to Lease. The extension of the six (6)
month deadline is necessary in order for the Tenant and Landlord to evaluate and
reach an agreement regarding security equipment to be installed during the Tenant
Improvements. The length of time the parties are finding necessary for agreement
on this issue is greater than the time frames found in Exhibit C of the Lease, and
mutual agreement on this issue will reduce the potential for Change Orders during
construction of the Tenant Improvements. Since this is a change of terms in a
Lease agreement it was suggested by the City Law Department to ask for
Authorization for the Parks Director to be able to approve any future time
extensions within reason. The Committee asked for clarification of the 90 day time
extension which Chief Administrative Officer John Hodgson responded to.

CONDITIONS ACCEPTABLE TO THE CITY ATTORNEY.
Information Technology Manager Paul Dunn noted that over the years, various City
Departments have established wireless communications services with Verizon
Wireless using a variety of different planned and contract prices. Because these
different plans provide a range of prices and non-pooled minutes, some users use
more than their allotted maximums, subjecting them to high per minute overage
charges, while others use a very small number of minutes. Because they are on
separate plans, their unused minutes cannot presently by "pooled" to benefit other f
users. The Information Technology Department is the central resource for
provisioning and accounting for the City's Cellular and Cellular data devices. With a
central view to the City's cellular usage profile, IT is in an advantageous position to
investigate possible economies. Dunn further advised that at the request of the
Information Technology Department, Verizon Wireless has completed a detailed
analysis of the City's Wireless usage of Verizon services and prepared estimates q
that show by converting the existing plans and contracts to a unified US General
Services Administration pricing schedule, the City could realize an annual savings of
approximately $27,000. Further, if the City were to discontinue usage of
Sprint/Nextel services and convert the subscribers on Sprint/Nextel Plans to the
Verizon GSA pricing schedule the City could save an estimated $22,000 annually.
The City is allowed to enter into an agreement of this type under the conditions set I
forth in Kent City Code Chapter 3.70.030 advertised bids, which states"... A bid
conducted by another public agency for substantially the same purchase shall
constitute compliance with the bed requirements herein." The US General Services
Administration (GSA) has included this agreement under their "Schedule 70" -
which allows other jurisdictions and agencies to purchase under the terms of the
GSA's Cooperative Purchasing Agreement. The contract with Verizon has been bid
and negotiated by the US General Services Administration. The Committee raised
further questions which Dunn responded to. Clark raised concerns about "dead
spots" within the City and the need for assurances from Verizon that more cell
towers are on the way. Clark proposed a new motion moving to direct
administration in the IT negotiating of Wireless contracts to work towards reduction
of cell phone dead spots and where possible broadband dead spots. The Committee
held discussion, Raplee moved to table the motion for further discussion, Thomas
seconded the motion which passed 2-1, Clark opposed.

5. RECOMMEND COUNCIL AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO SIGN THE PROCEEDS
DISTRIBUTION AND HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF BELLEVUE
FOR KENT TO RECEIVE ITS PROPORTIONATE SHARE OF PROCEEDS FROM THE SALE
OF FORMER KING COUNTY JAIL PROPERTY, AMEND THE BUDGET ACCORDINGLY,
AND AUTHORIZE STAFF TO SPEND THE FUNDS UPON RECEIPT IN ACCORDANCE
( WITH THE TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT.
Chief Administrative Officer John Hodgson noted that in 2002, King County
transferred ownership of property located in Bellevue to the City of Bellevue to be
held for the benefit of all King County cities. This was accomplished by way of the
Jail Services Agreement (JSA), which was entered into between King County and all
King County cities. Bellevue was designated the lead agency for maintaining and
disposing of the three parcels of land abutting 1161h Avenue N.E. just north of NE
12th St. (tax parcel numbers 2825059291, 2825059292, and 2825059015). These
parcels were provided to the cities through negotiation of the JSA with King County
in 2002. Per the JSA, the properties, or proceeds from the sale of the properties,
were to be used to provide misdemeanant jail services. The properties were sold
by Bellevue on March 16, 2009. As lead agency, Bellevue is holding the proceeds
from the sale of the property on behalf of all King County cities. Hodgson noted
that the total amount of proceeds (net sale proceeds plus investment interest
revenue) is approximately $13.1 million. The cities, through the Jail Oversight
Assembly, have directed distribution of the proceeds to each city signing the
Proceeds Agreement based on a methodology that utilizes an average of each city's
assessed valuation and jail population (see Attachment A to the Proceeds
Distribution and Hold Harmless Agreement). As the caretaker of the property,
Bellevue is allowed to recover costs incurred to manage and sell the properties,
which totaled approximately $100,000. This amount will be deducted from the total
proceeds prior to distribution to all of the cities in order to reimburse Bellevue for
incurred expenses. Based upon the Oversight Assembly's approved methodology,
Kent's estimated share of the remaining proceeds, after deducting Kent's
proportionate share of these expenses, is approximately $1,167,658.01. Based
upon the 2002 JSA, the proceeds must be used for the purpose of providing or

contracting for secure jail beds or alternative corrections facilities. Hodgson further
noted that Kent, however, maintains discretion over the specific use of its share of
the proceeds, provided the funds are used in a manner consistent with the JSA. I
Each city must enter into an agreement with the City of Bellevue to receive the
designated amount of funds. Staff is seeking Council approval for the Mayor to sign
a Proceeds Distribution and Hold Harmless Agreement in order to receive Kent's
share of the proceeds as provided in Attachment A to the Agreement. Revenue of
$1,167,658.01 for providing for or contracting for secure jail beds or alternative
corrections facilities. The Committee raised questions, which Hodgson responded
to.
Thomas moved to recommend Council authorize the Mayor to sign the
Proceeds Distribution and Hold Harmless Agreement with the City of
Bellevue for Kent to receive its proportionate share of proceeds from the
sale of former King County jail property, amend the budget accordingly,
and authorize staff to spend the funds upon receipt in accordance with the l
terms of the Agreement.. Raplee seconded the motion, which passed 3-0. f
6. RECOMMEND ACCEPTING THE SAFER (STAFFING FOR ADEQUATE FIRE AND f
EMERGENCY RESPONSE) GRANT IN THE AMOUNT OF $758,660 DOLLARS.
Fire Chief Jim Schneider noted that the fire department applied for and received a 1
SAFER Grant in the amount of $758,660. This is a five-year grant period with
funding received in the first four (4) years. The Grant is for seven (7) firefighter j
positions. The Grant will be used to train "front-line" firefighters available to the 2
department and our community. Assuming one (1) firefighter returns to the
department between now and December 31, 2009, the department would see
immediate reductions in overtime costs. Schneider explained that in 2009, the
department would need $131,346.67 to cover our costs for the hiring of the seven
firefighters, above the reimbursed funds from the Grant. The $131,346.67 is
identified and would come from a fire department project account (1700015).
Shortly after January 1, 2010, when the firefighters are assigned to shift
assignment, it would not require the department to fund $60,000 in overtime costs
for ShoWare Center events. In addition, with the additional firefighters hired, it
would reduce overtime costs with maintaining minimum staffing. Schneider further
explained that when two (2) firefighters leave or retire from our organization, the
cost to the City of Kent would be almost cost neutral. When a third (3rd) firefighter I
leaves, there would be no cost to the City in 2010. The department is projecting
two to three retirements between now and July 1, 2010. The Grant is subject to i
final terms and conditions acceptable to the City Attorney. EXHIBIT: SAFER Grant
Analysis with Projected Costs Award Package — Articles of Agreement BUDGET
IMPACT: None. The 131,346.67 in 2009 is funded through project account I
F00015. Funding in 2010 will reduce and become cost neutral as firefighters retire.
Additional funding in 2010, if needed, would come from project account F00015.
We will see additional savings in 2010 in overtime costs as these fire fighters are
placed into active rotation. The Committee raised questions, which Schneider and
Chief Administrative Officer John Hodgson responded to.

7. MOVE TO RECOMMEND THAT THE OPERATIONS COMMITTEE APPROVE THE
ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF THE 2009 COMBINED
UTILITY SYSTEM REVENUE BONDS AND FORWARD THE ITEM TO THE
AUGUST 4, 2009 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA.
Finance Director Bob Nachlinger advised that this Ordinance authorizes the
Administration to issue $25,000,000 in Combined Utility System Revenue Bonds to
undertake improvements to our Water, Sewer, and Storm Water systems.
These bonds will be secured by a pledge of the net revenues of our utility systems
at a debt service coverage ratio of 120%. This pledge is all revenues less
operational costs excluding depreciation before capital contributions and transfers.
Nachlinger further advised that for fiscal year 2008, this pledge produced net
revenues of approximately $6 million and would provide coverage at 120% for
approximately $60 million in twenty year debt. We are asking for the issuance of
$25 million. We are anticipating annual debt service costs of approximately $2
million and will be able to show investors a 300% coverage ratio. BUDGET IMPACT:
There will be a debt service payment covering approximately three months in early
December. It will be about $800,000 and payable from the utilities. For the 2010
budget year the debt service cost will be approximately $2,000,000. The draft
1 ordinance from our bond counsel and a draft of the Preliminary Official Statement,
page 144 is attached. The Committee raised questions, which Nachlinger
responded to.
I Thomas moved to recommend that the Operations Committee approve the
Ordinance authorizing the issuance of the 2009 combined utility system
revenue bonds and forward the item to the August 4, 2009 City Council
agenda. Raplee seconded the motion, which passed 3-0.
