SUBJECT: Approve Purchase Orders for Hewlett-Packard Company.
SUMMARY: The Information Technology Department is looking to purchase a
server enclosure with two (2) internal computer host blades in support of the
department's enterprise Storage Area Network (SAN) project. This hardware and
software purchase will also provide the necessary infrastructure to enhance and
provide greater business continuity for many of the city's key business systems.
BUDGET IMPACT: Not to exceed $119,176.96 per attached quotes with added
applicable state taxes. These funds are budgeted in the 2010 Information
Technology Plan as adopted by council in December of 2009.
BACKGROUND: The Information Technology Department is continuing our efforts
to implement and follow industry best practices with our enterprise storage and
associated disaster recovery readiness project. As part of these efforts, we are
implementing a virtual server architecture that will allow for redundancy of critical
business applications and minimize recovery of those systems in the event of a
catastrophic event.
In February of 2010, City Council approved the purchase of virtual server hardware
and software that has been deployed in our current disaster recovery site of Fire
Station #74. This request is to purchase the matching virtual server hardware and
software for City Hall that will complete the system design for disaster recovery.
Deploying the matching server infrastructure will allow the city to recover critical
business systems in the event of a catastrophic disaster as well as provide for some
redundancy that will provide improved system up-time and minimize impacts from
required maintenance.

SUBJECT: Budget Certification for Annexation Sales Tax Credit
Resolution - Adopt
MOTION: Adopt Resolution No. approving the certification of
$4,530,373 for the Panther Lake annexation sales tax credit for the period July 1,
2011 through June 30, 2012.
SUMMARY: The City is required to certify to the State of Washington before
March 1st of each year, the amount needed from the annexation sales tax credit to
provide service in the annexed area. The Finance Department has calculated the costs
and revenues within the Panther Lake annexation area and has determined a gap
between revenues generated and expenditures used to provide services of $4,530,373
for July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012.
EXHIBITS: Resolution
RECOMMENDED BY: Operations Committee
BUDGET IMPACTS: The budget for the Panther Lake Annexation area for the State's
fiscal 2012 year is anticipated to be $11,142,127 in expenditures to provide City
services to those residents while we anticipate revenues of $6,611,754 from property
taxes, sales taxes and other sources. The net of the revenues and costs produces a
deficit of $4,530,373 which is the amount being certified as the amount we are
requesting from the State in the annexation Sales Tax Credit.
RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION of the City Council of the
City of Kent, Washington, authorizing the City of
Kent to impose a sales and use tax as authorized
by RCW 82.14.415 as a credit against state sales
and use tax, relating to annexations, and
authorizing the city's Finance Director certify the
threshold amount for the 2011 fiscal year.
RECITALS
A. This is not a new tax, but a reallocation of the sales tax
already collected by the state which will then be remitted to the City to
assist with funding the costs of the newly annexed area.
B. After providing all appropriate notice and following appropriate
procedure, and following a favorable vote on the annexation proposition,
the Kent City Council adopted its Ordinance No. 3936 on December 8,
2009, approving the Panther Lake Annexation Area effective July 1, 2010.
The population within the annexation area is 25,458 people.
C. The City Council of the City of Kent, Washington, finds and
determines that the projected cost of at least $11,142,127 to provide
municipal services to the annexed area exceeds the projected general
revenue estimated to be $6,611,754 that the City would otherwise receive
from the annexation on a fiscal year basis.
1 Tax Credit Threshold
Panther Lake Annexation
D. Pursuant to RCW 82.14.415, the City of Kent is authorized,
under the circumstances of this annexation, to impose a sales and use tax

who are taxable by the state under Chapters 82.08 and 82.12 RCW, upon
the occurrence of any taxable event within the city, with that tax being a
credit against the state tax.
E. The rate of tax imposed shall be 0.2 percent, and shall be in
addition to other taxes authorized by law, and the threshold amount for the
next (second) state fiscal year following the annexation and adoption of the
tax is as follows: $4,530,373.

WASHINGTON, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
RESOLUTION
SECTION 1, — Rate and Threshold Amount. The city of Kent will
continue the sales and use tax rate to offset municipal services costs to the
city's newly annexed Panther Lake Annexation area at 0.2 percent, which
shall be in addition to other taxes authorized by law. The threshold amount
for the Panther Lake Annexation for the next (2011) state fiscal year
following the annexation and adoption of the tax is as follows: $4,530,373.
SECTION 2, — Implementation. The Mayor of the City of Kent is
hereby authorized to implement such administrative procedures as may be
necessary to carry out the provisions of this Resolution.

and prior to the effective date of this resolution is hereby ratified and
affirmed.

SUBJECT: Storm Flooding Reimbursement Resolution - Adopt
MOTION: Adopt Resolution No. allowing the City to repay capital
expenditures for the 76th Avenue Storm Drainage Improvement project from the
proceeds of municipal bonds to be issued in the future.
SUMMARY: The City is required under Internal Revenue Service regulations to
declare its intent to repay itself from the issuance of future bonds for capital
expenditures before those expenditures may be reimbursed. The City is beginning
work on storm drainage improvements to alleviate flooding along 76th Avenue, and
this resolution affirms that the City will reimburse itself for the cost of those improve-
ments from the proceeds of municipal bonds to be issued at a future date.
EXHIBITS: Resolution
RECOMMENDED BY: Operations Committee
BUDGET IMPACTS: None
RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION of the City Council of the
City of Kent, Washington, declaring its official
intent to reimburse capital expenditures in
connection with the drainage improvements on 76th
Avenue from proceeds of a future borrowing.
RECITALS
A. The City intends to construct storm drainage improvements to
alleviate flooding on 76th Avenue (the "Project').
B. The City intends to make expenditures for the Project from
funds that are available but that are not (and are not reasonably expected
to be) reserved, allocated on a long-term basis, or otherwise set aside for
those expenditures, and reasonably expects to be reimbursed for those
expenditures from proceeds of tax-exempt bonds or other obligations
("bonds") issued to finance those expenditures; and
C. When issuing bonds and approving part of the bond proceeds
to expenditures made before the bond issue date, certain federal
regulations (the "federal reimbursement regulations") require, among
other things, that not later than 60 days after payment of the original
1 Resolution
76`h Avenue
expenditure, the City (or any person designated by the City to do so on its
behalf) declare a reasonable official intent to reimburse those expenditures
from the bond proceeds;
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENT,
WASHINGTON, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
RESOLUTION
SECTION 1, - Description of Proiect for which Expenditures are to
be made. The City intends to make (and/or, not more than 60 days before
the date of this declaration, has made) expenditures and it reasonably
expects to reimburse itself for those expenditures from tax-exempt bond
proceeds, for the following project, property, or program (the "Project'):
The construction of storm drainage improvements to alleviate
flooding on 76th Avenue, Kent, Washington.
SECTION 2, - Maximum Principal Amount of Obligation Expected to
be Issued for the Project. The City expects that the maximum principal
amount of bonds that will be issued to finance the Project will be
$7,500,000.
SECTION 3, - Declaration Reasonable. The city council has
reviewed its existing and reasonable foreseeable budgetary and financial
circumstances and has determined that the City reasonably expects to
reimburse itself for expenditures for the Project from proceeds of bonds
because the City has no funds available that already are, or are reasonable
expected to be, reserved, allocated on a long-term basis, or otherwise set
aside by the City for those expenditures on the Project.
2 Resolution
76`h Avenue
SECTION 4, — Limitations on Uses of Reimbursement Amounts .
The City will not, within one year after the expected reimbursement, use
amounts corresponding to proceeds received from bonds issued in the
future to reimburse the City for previously paid expenditures for the Project
in any manner that results in those amounts being treated as replacement
proceeds of any tax-exempt bonds, i.e., as a result of being deposited in a
reserve fund, pledged fund, sinking fund or similar fund (other than a bona
fide debt service fund) that is expected to be used to pay principal of or
interest on tax exempt bonds. Nor will the City use those amounts in any
manner that employs an abusive arbitrage device to avoid arbitrage
restrictions.
SECTIONS. — SeverabilitY. If any section, subsection, paragraph,
sentence, clause or phrase of this resolution is declared unconstitutional or
invalid for any reason, such decision shall not affect the validity of the
remaining portions of this resolution.
SECTION 6, — Ratification. Any act consistent with the authority
and prior to the effective date of this resolution is hereby ratified and
affirmed.

SUBJECT: Parking Semi-Trucks Containing Hazardous Materials During
Flood, Ordinance - Adopt
MOTION: Adopt Ordinance No. amending Chapter 9.38 of the
Kent City Code, adding a new Section 9.38.200, entitled, "Flood Emergency
hazardous materials parking zone."
SUMMARY: Many businesses in Kent use and store materials that would pose a
threat to the environment and public health and safety during a flood emergency.
While it is the responsibility of the affected owners and operators to secure such
hazardous material, moving the material represents substantial cost and disruption.
The City Fire Marshal and the City Emergency Manager have recommended that, to
the extent possible, the City provide safe, upland parking for trucks carrying
hazardous materials from city businesses during an emergency flood event to limit the
possibility of hazardous materials release and to lessen the costs and disruptions
associated with moving the materials.

SUBJECT: GEI Consultants Contract, Briscoe & Desimone Levees
Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) Review -
Authorize
MOTION: Authorize the Mayor to sign a Consultant Services Agreement
with GEI Consultants for peer review of the Conditional Letter of Map revision for
the Briscoe/Desimone Levee Project, in an amount not to exceed $19,342, subject
to final terms and conditions acceptable to the City Attorney and Public Works
Director.
SUMMARY: In January 2011 the City Council approved consultant services
agreements for preparation of CLOMRs to the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) for the remaining segments of the east bank of the Green River within Kent.
Preparing and submitting CLOMRs to the review process by FEMA can be arduous and
time consuming. Submitting an incomplete or incorrect application can cause long
delays in the approval process extending the time that property owners are required
to purchase costly flood insurance. The best way to assure the package is ready is to
conduct a peer review of the application prior to submittal. Peer review is a similar
process used on complex engineering designs such as bridges.
EXHIBITS: Public Works Memo dated 1/28/11 and Consultant Services Agreement

BUDGET IMPACTS: No unbudgeted fiscal impacts, this contract was anticipated
when the 2011 budget was developed. The contract will be paid through the

Item - 2
Motion: Move to recommend Council authorize the Mayor to sign a
Consultant Services Agreement with GEI Consultants for peer review of the
Conditional Letter of Map Revision for the Briscoe/Desimone Levee Project
in an amount not to exceed $19,342, subject to final terms and conditions
acceptable to the City Attorney and Public Works Director.
Summary: The Briscoe/Desimone Levee is located on the east bank of the Green
River between S. 200th Street and S. 180th Street.
In January 2011 the City Council approved consultant service agreements for
preparation of Conditional Letters of Map Revision (CLOMR) for the remaining
segments of the east bank of the Green River within Kent. Preparing and submitting
CLOMRs to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is the first step
towards removing areas behind the levees from the flood hazard area. These
consultants have started their work with the goal of submitting completed CLOMRs
by July 2011.
The CLOMR review process by FEMA can be arduous and time consuming.
Submitting an incomplete or incorrect application can cause long delays in the
approval process extending the time that property owners are required to purchase
costly flood insurance. Therefore, it is imperative that the application submitted to
FEMA be as complete and accurate as possible. The best way to assure the package
is ready is to conduct a peer review of the application prior to submittal. Peer
review is a similar process used on complex engineering designs such as bridges.
The consultant selected for this peer review work has extensive experience with the
FEMA certification process and is the City's primary certification consultant on the SR
516 to 231't Way levee segment.
Budget Impact: There will be no unbudgeted fiscal impacts, as this contract was
anticipated when the 2011 budget was developed. The contract will be paid through
the stormwater utility.

RE: Proposal for Peer Review Engineering Services
Green River Levee Certification—Briscoe and Desimone Segments
City of Kent,Washington
Dear Mr. Langholz:
We are pleased to submit this proposal to provide peer review engineering services for the right bank
of the Green River levee between South 200`h Street and South 182"'Street,designated as the Briscoe
and Desimone Levees. Our proposed scope of work is based on your email dated January 28,2011.
Project Understanding
The City of Kent(City)has initiated an engineering evaluation and certification process for the levee
along the right bank of the Green River,with the overall objective of obtaining Federal Emergency
Management Agency(FEMA)accreditation of the levee in its Flood Insurance Rate Maps(FIRMS)
for the area. The City has divided the levee into six reaches and has engaged several consulting firms
to prepare levee evaluation and certification packages. We understand that the City intends to submit
certification packages to FEMA in mid to late June 2011.
The levee reach designated as the Briscoe and Desimone Levees extends from South 200t1'Street to
South 180`h Street, a length of approximately 2.7 river miles.A portion of the levee is within Tukwila,
Washington,city limits. The City of Kent has engaged GeoEngineers,Inc. to evaluate the levee and
prepare a FEMA certification package.
Scope of Work
The scope of work for this project involves providing a peer review of the CLOMR and levee
Certification package for the Briscoe-Oesiinone Segment being prepared by GeoEngineers. Our
review will be focused on the completeness of the submittal and overall appropriateness of
procedures,design criteria, assumptions and basic analysis parameters.
Our proposed scope of work is as follows:

Mr. Ken Langholz 2 February 2,2011
1. Review of Draft FEMA Certification Report: We will review the report and supporting
documents provided to us by the City of Kent. We anticipate the report will include a narrative
and supporting calculations documenting that the levee meets the requirements of 44 CFR
65.10 of the NFIP Regulations. We,expQct this will include topographic mapping, freeboard
profiles, embankment seepage and stability analysis,settlement evaluation,erosion protection
evaluation,closure structure evaluations and an interior drainage evaluation. Our technical
review will be limited to assumptions,procedures,results and conclusions. We will not be
providing a detailed check of calculation or models. We will not be conducting our own
independent calculations or models.
2. Review of Draft CLOMR Application: We will review the CLOMR MT-2 application
forms and documentation that will be submitted to FEMA. We expect this will include the
report included in Task I above and a completed set of the FEMA MT-2 CLOMR application
forms. We assume this review will be performed concurrently with Task 1.
3.Summary Memorandum: We will prepare a letter memorandum summarizing our review
comments.
4. Review of Final FEMA Certification Report and CLOMR Applications: We will review
the final report and CLOMR application to back check that our review comments have been
addressed. We expect that the cornments'will have been addressed and that we will issue a one
1
page memorandum documenting oiir concurrence.
5. Coordination: We will coordinate with the City of Kent and its consultants as requested by
the City during the review. We will:participate in meetings with FEMA as requested. We
assume that all meetings and discussions will occur by teleconference and that no travel will
occur.
Schedule
We expect to complete our review about two weeks after receiving the draft documents. We expect
to complete our final review about two`weeks after receiving the final documents. We understand
that GeoEngineers is just b'egirming their evaluation of the Briscoe-Desimone Segment and that they
expect to issue a draft FEMA Certification Report and CLOMR Application in mid April 2011. We
anticipate that final documents will be issued in May 2011.
Cost Estimate
We will perform the above scope of service on a time and materials basis based on the attached Fee
Schedule and Payment Terms. Based on the information known to us,we estimate that the cost of
performing the services outlined above will:be approximately$19,342. A breakdown of the estimated
costs is included in the attached table. Invoices will be submitted monthly based on the services
performed as of the end of each billing,period.

DATE: February 15, 2011
SUBJECT: GEI Consultants Contract, Boeing Levee Conditional Letter of
Map Revision (CLOMR) Review - Authorize
MOTION: Authorize the Mayor to sign a Consultant Services Agreement
with GEI Consultants for peer review of the Conditional Letter of Map revision for
the Boeing Levee Project, in an amount not to exceed $14,528, subject to final
terms and conditions acceptable to the City Attorney and Public Works Director.
SUMMARY: In January 2011 the City Council approved consultant services
agreements for preparation of CLOMRs to the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) for the remaining segments of the east bank of the Green River within Kent.
Preparing and submitting CLOMRs to the review process by FEMA can be arduous and
time consuming. Submitting an incomplete or incorrect application can cause long
delays in the approval process extending the time that property owners are required
to purchase costly flood insurance. The best way to assure the package is ready is to
conduct a peer review of the application prior to submittal. Peer review is a similar
process used on complex engineering designs such as bridges.

Item - 3
Motion:
Move to recommend Council authorize the Mayor to sign a Consultant
Services Agreement with GEI Consultants for peer review of the Conditional
Letter of Map Revision for the Boeing Levee Project in an amount not to
exceed $14,528 subject to final terms and conditions acceptable to the City
Attorney and Public Works Director.
Summary:
The Boeing Levee is located on the east bank of the Green River between S. 200th
Street and S. 212th Street.
In January 2011 the City Council approved consultant service agreements for
preparation of Conditional Letters of Map Revision (CLOMR) for the remaining
segments of the east bank of the Green River within Kent. Preparing and submitting
CLOMRs to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is the first step
towards removing areas behind the levees from the flood hazard area. These
consultants have started their work with the goal of submitting completed CLOMRs
by July 2011.
The CLOMR review process by FEMA can be arduous and time consuming.
Submitting an incomplete or incorrect application can cause long delays in the
approval process extending the time that property owners are required to purchase
costly flood insurance. Therefore, it is imperative that the application submitted to
FEMA be as complete and accurate as possible. The best way to assure the package
is ready is to conduct a peer review of the application prior to submittal. Peer review
is a similar process used on complex engineering designs such as bridges.
The consultant selected for this peer review work has extensive experience with the
FEMA certification process and is the City's primary certification consultant on the SR
516 to 231't Way levee segment.
Budget Impact:
There will be no unbudgeted fiscal impacts, as this contract was anticipated when
the 2011 budget was developed. The contract will be paid through the stormwater
utility.

RE: Proposal for Peer Review Engineering Services
Green River Levee Certification-Boeing Levee Segment
City of Kent,Washington
Dear Mr. Hallock:
We are pleased to submit this proposal to provide peer review engineering services for the
right bank Green River levee between South 200th Street and South 212th Street,designated
the Boeing Levee. Our proposed scope of work is based on the telephone conversation
between you and GEI's Mr.Jun Nickerson on January 21, 2011.
Project Understanding
The City of Kent(City)has initiated an engineering evaluation and certification process for
the levee along the right bank of the Green River,with the overall objective of obtaining
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) accreditation of the levee in its Flood
Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMS) for the area. The City has divided the levee into six reaches
and has engaged several consulting firms to prepare levee evaluation and certification
packages. We understand that the City intends to submit certification packages to FEMA in
mid to late June 2011.
The levee reach designated as the Boeing Levee extends from South 200th Street to South
212th Street,a length of approximately one mile. The City of Kent has engaged Tetra Tech to
evaluate the levee and prepare a FEMA certification package.

Mr. Toby Hallock 2 January 28, 2011
Scope of Work
The scope of work for this project involves providing a peer review of the CLOMR and
levee Certification package for the Boeing Levee segment being prepared by Tetra Tech.
Our review will be focused on the completeness of the submittal and overall
appropriateness of procedures, design criteria, assumptions and basic analysis parameters.
Our proposed scope of work is as follows:
1. Review of Draft FEMA Certification Report: We will review the report and
supporting documents provided to us by the City of Kent. We anticipate the report
will include a narrative and supporting calculations documenting that the levee meets
the requirements of 44 CFR 65.10 of the NFIP Regulations. We expect this will include
topographic mapping, freeboard profiles,embankment seepage and stability analysis,
settlement evaluation,erosion protection evaluation,'closure structure evaluations and
an interior drainage evaluation. Our technical review will be limited to assumptions,
procedures,results and conclusions. We will not be providing a detailed check of
calculation or models. We will not be conducting our own independent calculations
or models.
2. Review of Draft CLOMR Application: We will review the CLOMR MT-2
application forms and documentation that will be submitted to FEMA. We expect this
will include the report included in Task 1 above and a completed set of the FEMA MT-
2 CLOMR application forms. We assume this review will be performed concurrently
with Task 1.
3. Summary Memorandum: We will prepare a letter memorandum summarizing our
review comments.
4. Review of Final FEMA Certification Report and CLOMR Applications: We will
review the final report and CLOMR application to back check that our review
comments have been addressed. We expect that the comments will have been
addressed and that we will issue a one page memorandum documenting our
concurrence.
5. Coordination: We will coordinate with the City of Kent and its consultants as
requested by the City during the review. We will participate in meetings with FEMA
as requested. We assume that all meetings and discussions will occur by
teleconference and that no travel will occur.
Mr. Toby Hallock 3 January 28, 2011
Schedule
We expect to complete our review about two weeks after receiving the draft documents. We
expect to complete our final review about two weeks after receiving the final documents.
We understand that Tetra Tech is just beginning their evaluation of the Boeing Levee and
that they expect to issue a draft FEMA Certification Report and CLOMR Application in
early May. We anticipate that final documents will be issued in late May.
Cost Estimate
We will perform the above scope of service on a time and materials basis based on the
attached Fee Schedule and Payment Terms. Based on the information known to us,we
estimate that the cost of performing the services outlined above will be approximately
$14,528. A breakdown of the estimated costs is included in the attached table. Invoices will
be submitted monthly based on the services performed as of the end of each billing period.

Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) Review -
Authorize
MOTION: Authorize the Mayor to sign a Consultant Services Agreement
with Tetra Tech for peer review of the Conditional Letter of Map revision for the
Lower/Lowest Russell Road Levee Project, in an amount not to exceed $13,702,
subject to final terms and conditions acceptable to the City Attorney and Public
Works Director.
SUMMARY: The Lower/Lowest Russell Road Levee is located on the east bank of
the Green River between S. 231st Way and S. 212th Street. In January 2011 the City
Council approved consultant services agreements for preparation of CLOMRs to the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for the remaining segments of the
east bank of the Green River within Kent.
Preparing and submitting CLOMRs to the review process by FEMA can be arduous and
time consuming. Submitting an incomplete or incorrect application can cause long
delays in the approval process extending the time that property owners are required
to purchase costly flood insurance. The best way to assure the package is ready is to
conduct a peer review of the application prior to submittal. Peer review is a similar
process used on complex engineering designs such as bridges.

Motion:
Move to recommend Council authorize the Mayor to sign a Consultant
Services Agreement with Tetra Tech for peer review of the Conditional
Letter of Map Revision for the Lower/Lowest Russell Road Levee Project in
the amount not to exceed $13,702, subject to final terms and conditions
acceptable to the City Attorney and Public Works Director.
Summary:
The Lower/Lowest Russell Road Levee is located on the east bank of the Green River
between S. 231't Way and S. 212th Street.
In January 2011 the City Council approved consultant service agreements for
preparation of Conditional Letters of Map Revision (CLOMR) for the remaining
segments of the east bank of the Green River within Kent. Preparing and submitting
CLOMRs to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is the first step
towards removing areas behind the levees from the flood hazard area. These
consultants have started their work with the goal of submitting completed CLOMRs
by July 2011.
The CLOMR review process by FEMA can be arduous and time consuming.
Submitting an incomplete or incorrect application can cause long delays in the
approval process extending the time that property owners are required to purchase
costly flood insurance. Therefore, it is imperative that the application submitted to
FEMA be as complete and accurate as possible. The best way to assure the package
is ready is to conduct a peer review of the application prior to submittal. Peer review
is a similar process used on complex engineering designs such as bridges.
The consultant selected for this peer review work has extensive experience with the
FEMA certification process and is the City's primary certification consultant on the
Boeing Levee segment.
Budget Impact:
There will be no unbudgeted fiscal impacts, as this contract was anticipated when
the 2011 budget was developed. The contract will be paid through the stormwater
utility.

MOTION: Authorize the Mayor to sign a Consultant Services Agreement
with Tetra Tech for peer review of the Conditional Letter of Map revision for the
SR 516 to S. 231st Way Levee Project, in an amount not to exceed $13,702,
subject to final terms and conditions acceptable to the City Attorney and Public
Works Director.
SUMMARY: This levee is located on the east bank of the Green River between
SR 516 to S. 231st Way. In January 2011 the City Council approved Consultant
services agreements for preparation of CLOMRs to the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) for the remaining segments of the east bank of the
Green River within Kent.
Preparing and submitting CLOMRs to the review process by FEMA can be arduous and
time consuming. Submitting an incomplete or incorrect application can cause long
delays in the approval process extending the time that property owners are required
to purchase costly flood insurance. The best way to assure the package is ready is to
conduct a peer review of the application prior to submittal. Peer review is a similar
process used on complex engineering designs such as bridges.

Item - 5
Motion:
Move to recommend Council authorize the Mayor to sign a Consultant
Services Agreement with Tetra Tech for peer review of the Conditional
Letter of Map Revision for the State Route 516 to 23V Way Levee Project
in an amount not to exceed $13,702, subject to final terms and conditions
acceptable to the City Attorney and Public Works Director.
Summary:
This levee segment is located on the east bank of the Green River between State
Route 516 and S. 231't Way.
In January 2011 the City Council approved consultant service agreements for
preparation of Conditional Letters of Map Revision (CLOMR) for the remaining
segments of the east bank of the Green River within Kent. Preparing and submitting
CLOMRs to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is the first step
towards removing areas behind the levees from the flood hazard area. These
consultants have started their work with the goal of submitting completed CLOMRs
by July 2011.
The CLOMR review process by FEMA can be arduous and time consuming.
Submitting an incomplete or incorrect application can cause long delays in the
approval process extending the time that property owners are required to purchase
costly flood insurance. Therefore, it is imperative that the application submitted to
FEMA be as complete and accurate as possible. The best way to assure the package
is ready is to conduct a peer review of the application prior to submittal. Peer review
is a similar process used on complex engineering designs such as bridges.
The consultant selected for this peer review work has extensive experience with the
FEMA certification process and is the City's primary certification consultant on the
Boeing Levee segment.
Budget Impact:
There will be no unbudgeted fiscal impacts, as this contract was anticipated when
the 2011 budget was developed. The contract will be paid through the stormwater
utility.

recycle by recognizing a Kent business(s) that have put in place outstanding recycling
programs. The purpose of the awards program will be to acknowledge City businesses with
strong commitments to recycling and use their programs as examples for other Kent
businesses to follow.
E) Task Impact Objectives:
By providing information, web site assistance, technical assistance, and hosting Business
Collection Events, Kent can reduce the amount of recyclable material finding their way to .
the local landfill. The City of Kent has an employee population of roughly 65,000. The City
expects that 135-155 businesses will actively participate in the Business Collection Event
each year by bringing recyclable materials to the event for proper disposal and recycling.
This will result in 45-55 tons of material from the Kent businesses waste stream over a two-
year period.
In addition to diverting materials from the City waste stream, providing information to Kent
business at events provides an opportunity to distribute educational material on City and
King County recycling programs. The technical assistance, web site assistance, recognition,
educational materials can enhance the knowledge of business and improve behavior in the
purchase, handling, set-up, and disposal of recyclable materials.
Task Three: Kent Multifamily Recycling Program

D) Task Performance Objectives:
The goal of this program is to achieve greater resource efficiency in the City of Kent by
collection of more recyclable material in the City's multifamily sector. The City will
continue to promote recycling in the Kent multifamily community by distributing
educational brochures, signs, and recycling totes to multifamily managers and tenants. As
City residents better manage their waste and recycle more, less recyclable material will end
up in local landfills. This program will help the City of Kent reach its recycling goals.
Kent multifamily web site enhancements and service will provide Kent multifamily owners
and managers with tools to recycle by making the information easy to access and
convenient to use. The program will also help reduce paper, as more recycling information
will be in an electronic format.
E) Task Impact Objectives:
With program promotion and technical assistance and web site assistance, Kent multifamily
residents will have better knowledge of recycling. Recycling service to Kent multifamily
properties is provided with garbage service and assistance will be provided on how to better
use the service. By recycling more, City multifamily properties can reduce the amount of
material ending up in the local landfill.
Task Four: Compost Bin Distribution
A)Task Schedule: Spring, 2010/11
B) Task Activities:

D) Task Performance Objectives: The goal of this program is to achieve greater resource
efficiency in the City of Kent. Backyard composting extends the life of landfills and
reduces stress on local composting facilities. This program should result in greater resource
efficiency, as it will encourage City residents to manage their yard debris on their own
properties and to reuse the composted materials in their gardens.
E) Task Impact Objectives:
As a result of the Compost Bin Sale, the City of Kent will:
• Reduce the residential waste stream by up to an estimated 100 tons of yard debris
annually or 1,000 tons in the next ten years.
• The City will monitor the program by reporting the following:
Number of backyard compost bins distributed.
-The estimated amount of yard debris diverted.
In addition to diverting compostable materials from the City waste stream, attracting residents
to events provides an opportunity to distribute educational material on City recycling programs
and yard debris reduction programs in King County. The educational materials can enhance the
knowledge of residents and improve behavior in purchasing products, practices, and disposal of
yard debris.

Exhibit A-Revised for 2011
Task Five: Purchase Products Made From Recycled Materials
A) Task Schedule: 2010/11
B) Task Activities:
In order to support the recycling industry and close the recycling loop, the City would like
to purchase products made from recycled materials. Doing so will support recycling
collection programs and help ensure the success of the recycling industry. The City will
support recycling programs by purchasing recycled content rain barrels and other items for
distribution. The rain barrels weigh approximately 40-50 pounds each and divert roughly
twice that amount of plastic material from the waste stream when produced. The City will
sell the rain barrels at City Recycling Collection Events in 2010 and 2011. It is expected
that the City will purchase and distribute 400 recycled content rain barrels over the two-
year period. The City will sell the bins for $35-$40 each.

D) Task Performance and Impact Objectives:
The goal of this program is to help ensure the success of the recycling industry by adding to
the demand for products made from recycled materials. By purchasing products made from
recycled content, the City will divert recyclable material from the waste stream. The City
will distribute the rain barrels to City residents to help promote recycled products. The City
will promote the rain barrel sale the City Recycling Collection Event flyer. The additional
benefits of the rain barrels are that they will help reduce household water consumption and

206.838.6261
Scope Overview
The City of Kent with the aid of Tetra Tech (Tt) has been monitoring the environmental
conditions at Lake Fenwick and Lake Meridian. The following scope of work for 2011 is
a continuation of the monitoring efforts performed since 2006 The scope of work
describes the specific activities that Tt will perform in order to aid the City's continued
effort to collect water quality data of its lakes for 2011 plus two optional tasks.
The primary goals of this project are to 1.) Continue to collect baseline data for annual
assessment of the lakes environmental health and to provide a long-term database for
potential management decisions in the future and 2.) Provide compliance monitoring data
for Lake Fenwick in support of the current TMDL listing for phosphorus. Therefore the
specific objective of this scope of work is to collect data from each of the two lakes on
phosphorus, temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), pH, Secchi disk, Chlorophyll a, and
phytoplankton. Additionally inflow monitoring will be collected to support the
assessment of the Lake Fenwick wetland, water level data for inlet, outlet, and lake. The
collected dataset will be summarized and a detailed assessment made as to the overall
condition of the lakes for 2011 using data from 2006 through 2011. Specific scope of
work is outlined below. Cost estimated for.these tasks are included in Exhibit A.
This scope of work is for the cost associated with the collection of the samples only and
does not reflect any laboratory analysis. It is assumed that all laboratory analysis will be
paid for in full by the City. Transporting of the samples to the appropriate laboratory will
be provided by Tt and is included within this estimate. Allowing the City to directly pay
for the laboratory analysis is expected to save the City in direct fixed cost associated with
the monitoring of the proposed sites.

City of Kent
Detailed Work Tasks:
Task 1 Project Management
1.1 Tt will prepare monthly invoicing.
1.2 Tt will perform monthly QA/QC analysis of field and laboratory data to
ensure the on-going validity of the collected data.
Deliverables:
• Monthly invoices
Task 2 Monitoring
Described below are the specific sampling tasks that will occur during the 2011
monitoring period. Sampling events will occur on or approximately on the following
dates:
February—23
March— 16
April—6, 20
May— 11,25
June-9, 23
July-6, 20
August— 10, 24
September—7, 21
October—5, 19
November— 16
The following tasks will be performed during each sampling event:
Lake Meridian Monitoring
During each sampling event listed above water quality samples will be
taken at the deepest point of the lake at a depth of 1 meter below the lake
surface. The water sample will be analyzed for TP (total phosphorus), chl
a (chlorophyll a), and phytoplankton. Water transparency will be
determined with a Secchi disc on each sampling occasion. Dissolved
oxygen (DO), pH, and temperature will be determined at meter depth
intervals on each sampling date. On two sampling events, one in March
and one in September, additional samples will be collected for TP and chl
a analysis at mid depth and 0.5 meter above bottom sediments.
Lake Meridian Stormwater'Sampling
Stormwater samples will be collected at 5 locations designated by the City
within the Lake Meridian drainage basin and coincide with the in-lake
monitoring activities. Water samples will be collected for SRP (soluble
reactive phosphorus) and TP analysis once per month during the proposed
2 Tetra Tech, Inc.
City of Kent
project sampling months. In-situ parameters consisting of DO, pH,
turbidity, and temperature will be recorded during each event when flow is
present. Discharge will not be measured during each event.
Lake Fenwick Monitoring
In-lake activities at Lake Fenwick will include water quality samples taken
during each sampling event listed above at the deepest point of the lake at
a depth of 1 meter below the lake surface and 0.5 meters above bottom
sediments for TP and chl'a. Additionally, phytoplankton will be collected
at 1 meter below the lake surface once per month during the proposed
sampling months. Water transparency will be determined with a Seechi
disc on each sampling; occasion. Dissolved oxygen (DO), pH, and
temperature will be determined at meter depth intervals on each sampling
date.
Fenwick Wetland Monitoring
External loading into the lake will be monitored at the upstream treatment
wetland installed by the City as part of the restoration program. Since the
outflow from the wetland is Lake Fenwick's largest inflow source other
than direct precipitation, sampling of the wetlands inflow/outflow will be
representative of the lakes external loading contribution from runoff. TP
samples will be collected at the wetlands inlet and outlet when flow is
present and will coincide with in-lake monitoring efforts described above
and limited to once per month visits. The differential of the two
measurements is intended to demonstrate the effectiveness of the wetland
and other upstream BMPs.
Lake Meridian Swimming Beaches
A continuation from previous, monitoring efforts, Fecal Coliform (FC)
sampling events will be obtained.,from the two designated sampling
locations within the swimming area at Lake Meridian. The events will
coincide with sampling dates occurring in late July through early
September(July 20`h, August I oth, August 24`h, and September 7`h). A total
of 8 FC samples will be collected and analyzed.
Assumptions:
• Laboratory testing will be performed at Aquatic Research, Inc. and will be paid
for directly by the City. Phytoplankton samples will be analyzed at Water
Environmental Services, Inc. and will be paid for directly by the City. Tt will be
responsible for transporting the samples to the laboratories mentioned above. Tt
will provide QA/QC of the results from samples delivered.
Deliverables:
• Water quality data collected during the sampling events listed in Task 4 in hard
copy and electronic form (Included within Monitoring Report)
3 Tetra Tech, Inc.
City of Kent
Task 3 Lake Fenwick Macrophyte Survey
The introduction of grass carp into Lake Fenwick to control invasive aquatic plant growth
occurred in 2009. To document the effectiveness of introducing grass carp into the lake, a
detailed survey for mapping and assessment of grass carp impact on macrophytes will be
conducted in August. A Trimble ProXH GPS Receiver will be used to map the spatial
extent of macrophytes within Lake Fenwick. Species type and abundance will be
recorded. The results of the survey, the comparison, and detailed mapping of the
macrophytes will be summarized in the technical memorandum detailed in Task 4.
Deliverables:
• GIS Shapefiles of macrophyte mapping
Task 4 Water Quality Technical Memorandum
A technical memorandum presenting the data in tabular and graphical form will be
performed. An assessment of the water quality for 2011 for the sites listed in Task 2 and
3 will be included within this memorandum. In addition, a comprehensive assessment of
water quality and phytoplankton trends will be conducted using data collected from 2006
through 2011. This assessment will detail interrelationships between the water quality
parameters and primary production and species community structure. It will also identify
potential environmental risks or problems that need to be considered in the management
planning process for each lake.
Deliverables:
• Technical memorandum presenting the data in tabular and graphical form and
relative assessment of water quality for 2011 and a detail assessment of data from
2006-2011. Report will include data collected by Tt. Two hard copies and one
compact disk will be submitted.
Task 5 Collect Water Levels
Tetra Tech will place and maintain data loggers to collect information on temperature and
water levels at the inlet (outlet of the wetland) outlet channel, and lake level at Park
Dock. Data will be downloaded at the time of sampling and recorded for future water
quality and modeling uses.
Deliverables:
• Hourly water level data for lake„inlet and outlet

LEGISLATIVE AGENDA — TOP PRIORITIES AND MOVE DIRECTLY TO
TONIGHT'S CITY COUNCIL MEETING UNDER OTHER BUSINESS.
The 2011 Regular Session of the Washington State Legislature convened on
January 10, 2011. The State Legislative Agenda provides an overview of the items of top
concern for the City of Kent. A formally adopted State Legislative Agenda by the council
would provide strong direction and guidance to staff, representatives, and advocates of
our community in the legislative process. A detailed overview of the top priorities was
presented and discussed at a workshop earlier in the year. Michelle will summarize again
later in the Council meeting tonight.
Michelle clarified for R Harmon the proposed tolling on SR 509 is part of the Transportation
Partnership group advocating financing to research the tolling, not necessarily advocating
a toll road. L Thomas noted toll roads are a hot topic in Olympia as state, city and federal
try and find ways to raise money for roads.
R Harmon moved to recommend that the City Council adopt the City of Kent 2011
State Legislative Agenda — Top Priorities and move directly to tonight's City
Council meeting under Other Business. J Perry seconded the motion, which
passed 3-0.
4. SUMMARY FINANCIAL REPORT AS OF NOVEMBER 2010 (INFORMATIONONL)q
Bob Nachlinger, Finance Director, opened with a report on the Utility Tax. The Utility tax as
was discussed at the December Operations Committee meeting has been coming in lower
than budget. An upside is the electricity tax is up, which shows an increase in business
production and beginning of a recovery of the economy. As a result of recent changes in
the billing structure of phone providers, there is a decline in the telephone utility tax
revenue. Federal policy states because the internet is free, there is no tax. This makes it
hard to distinguish between the internet and telephone as providers bundle their services.
As Tom Brubaker, City Attorney described it, "The models traditionally used no longer fit the
reality." The utility providers are essentially supplying to us what is phone and what is
internet. Staff will have a recommendation to resolve the million dollar shortfall in the
Utility Tax for Council at the next Operations Committee meeting and revise the 2011
budget.
Operations Committee Minutes
January 18, 2011
