OTHER BUSINESS

their November 14, 2011, hearing and December 12, 2011, meeting.
3
Kent City Council Minutes January 3, 2012
Jan Hickling, 1919 Talbot Road South, Renton, spoke in favor of the proposed zoning,
and noted that Kent is the closest city for her to pick up medical cannabis for her
neighbor. Philip Dawdy, Washington Alternative Medicine Alliance, 1608 E.
Republican Street, Seattle, encouraged the Council to adopt the ordinance, and
pointed out that no one has voiced opposition to it and nothing bad has happened in
cities which have passed regulations. Wade Schwartz, 22403 129th Place SE,
expressed concern about the reaction of some at the dais to the impact of medical
cannabis zoning on a particular piece of property at the last Council meeting, and
encouraged them to consider how proposed ordinances affect everyone.
Planner Katie Graves explained that the motion to adopt the proposed ordinance at
the Council meeting of December 13, 2011, failed on a 3-3 vote, and summarized the
ordinance. The City Attorney explained why the ordinance prohibits collective
gardens in certain zones rather than allowing them in certain zones. Upon a question
from Boyce regarding the 750' buffers, it was noted that that was a compromise
between 500' and 1000'.
Perry moved to adopt Ordinance No. 4025 prohibiting the land use and operation of
medical cannabis collective gardens within special land use zones in the city of Kent.
Albertson seconded. Higgins reiterated that the city has an obligation to those who
legitimately need access to medical marijuana, that this ordinance establishes rules
which limit the exposure to residential areas and schools, that he has not received
any mail in opposition, and that criminal activities can be dealt with. Thomas pointed
out that marijuana is an illegal substance and said he cannot support zoning for it.
Ralph concurred with Thomas. Albertson stated that this ordinance simply allows an
access point for those who have a letter from their doctor stating that they have a
medical condition which allows them to use medical cannabis for treatment of that
condition. Perry said the state has said collective gardens are legal and that the city
must deal with that. She said zoning will result in placing the collective gardens in
the right locations and urged the Council to adopt the ordinance. Upon a roll call
vote, the motion to adopt Ordinance No. 4025 failed 4-3, with Albertson, Higgins
and Perry in favor, and Boyce, Ralph, Ranniger and Thomas opposed.
B. Medical Cannabis Collective Gardens Moratorium Extension. (CFN-1320)
The City Attorney stated that the emergency six-month moratorium on the operation
of medical marijuana collective gardens or dispensaries which was established on
July 5, 2011, expires on January 5, 2012. He explained that an emergency ordinance
would be required to make the extension seamless, and that that requires five votes.
He added that a new moratorium, which requires four votes, would become effective
five days after the ordinance is published, leaving a small gap in the effective period.
Thomas moved to adopt Ordinance No. 4026 declaring an emergency and establishing
a six-month extension on the moratorium within the city of Kent on the establish-
ment, location, operation, licensing, maintenance or continuation of medical
marijuana collective gardens or dispensaries. Ranniger seconded. Thomas said it is
important to keep the moratorium in place to avoid collective gardens from locating in
undesirable locations. Perry said if an outright ban is what some Council members
actually desire, there is no point in extending the moratorium, and offered to have the
committee consider changes to the zoning regulations. Albertson agreed with Perry,
and said waiting for the Federal government to legalize cannabis does not help those
who need it now for medical reasons. Ralph said the city is not in a position to zone
4
Kent City Council Minutes January 3, 2012
against something that is against the law, and that a moratorium would allow time for
Council to determine whether there should be a ban until the Federal government
clarifies the issue. Boyce said he is willing to extend the moratorium in order to take
a look at the issue, but emphasized that cannabis is not legal. Thomas spoke in
opposition to a ban and urged Council members to either extend the current
moratorium or establish a new one. Higgins stated that by allowing medical cannabis
in the community the city would be upholding state law, noted that a moratorium
delays action, and pointed out that many other cities in the state have not enacted
regulations.
The City Attorney noted that the Council could direct him to prepare an ordinance
banning collective gardens, but that all ordinances have a waiting period before they
take effect, so there would be a gap. He also noted that a moratorium can be
extended for less than six months.
The motion to adopt Ordinance No. 4026 declaring an emergency and establishing a
six month moratorium then failed with only four votes from Boyce, Ralph, Ranniger
and Thomas in favor, and Albertson, Higgins and Perry opposed. The City Attorney
had noted earlier that five votes would be required to pass an emergency ordinance.
Thomas then moved to adopt Ordinance No. 4027 establishing a six-month
moratorium within the city of Kent on the establishment, location, operation,
licensing, maintenance or continuation of medical marijuana collective gardens or
dispensaries. Ralph seconded. Perry urged her colleagues to consider a long-term
solution so that a moratorium does not come before the Council every six months.
Upon Albertson's question, Boyce explained that a moratorium would allow time for
him to review the 750' buffer issue, and added that six months may not be necessary.
After a brief discussion of the appropriate length of a moratorium, it was noted that a
moratorium could be terminated at any point, and the motion to adopt Ordinance
No. 4027 establishing a six-month moratorium then carried with Boyce, Ralph,
Ranniger and Thomas in favor and Albertson, Higgins and Perry opposed.

Dear Chief Wilson:
I am pleased to inform you the Washington Auto Theft Prevention Authority has approved a grant application
award in the amount of$55,000 for the PATROL Task Farce Partnership Ivith WSP.
WATPA was unable to fully fund your agency's grant request of$191,340 due to the significant reduction in
WATPA funding as much of the WATPA account has been "swept" by the Legislature for other general
government purposes. The Board is hoping to maintain at least some effort in the various task forces across the
state. We hope you can use the award amount to maintain an effort with the anticipation that WATPA support
can increase as the state's financial position improves.
PATROL has been highly successful in its efforts to combat auto (hell and associated crimes.This grant award
amount is in recognition of the stellar work PATROL has displayed. The Board's desire was to provide the
task force with additional funding to employ innovative techniques and support its continued effort.
Please submit a budget which reflects the newly funded amount total.
The grant award is effective January 1, 2012 and expires on June 30, 2013. The grant award agreement below
is to be signed and returned to WATPA. No funds will be reimbursed until the signed agreement is received.
Expenditures prior to the award effective date, or after the grant expiration date, are not authorized and will not
be reimbursed. In addition, the grant award is subject to all Grant Policies and Procedures of the Washington
Auto Theft Prevention Authority. Costs will be paid on a reimbursement basis. You will be reimbursed for
actual expenses only up to the limit of the award. The financial related forms are attached.
If you choose to not accept this award,please notify us imrnediately.
If you have any questions, please contact Grant Clark at 360-292-7962 or via email at gelark@,,vaspc.oru or
myself at 360-486-2380 or via e-mail at dpicrcc�U,, u,pc off.

consistent with the conditions existing during baseline data collection. One year of post
installation collision data should be included as well.
Failure to submit reimbursement requests or to file the required final report could lead to
termination of the project agreement, and forfeiture of reimbursement.
I have detailed the order/reimbursement procedure below:
1 . Your agency must order/purchase the item(s) granted and be billed for the
equipment or goods and services.
2. Upon receipt of the vendor billing, your agency must submit for the
reimbursement using the enclosed Invoice Voucher, A-19-1A Form.
Submit the voucher and duplicate copy of your vendor-billing invoice to
WTSC for reimbursement. Please note that we cannot accept a FAX. We
must have your agency identified as the Claimant, a Federal Tax ID
Number, Statewide Vendor Number, and original signature of the agency
head, command officer or contracting officer on the A-19 form.
3. Upon receipt of the above, your agency/jurisdiction will be reimbursed.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding your project, please contact me at

Mayor Cooke,
This letter is to inform you of my decision to run for a seat on the Human
Services Commission for the City of Kent. As a business owner in
downtown Kent I feel that my knowledge of our city and this fabulous
community would be a great fit for the Human Services position. I would
bring fresh, new ideas to the table and work alongside other members to help
strengthen the vision and continue the upward progress within the City of
Kent. I am heavily involved in many different human interest groups and
the passion I feel while working alongside these individuals continues to
motivate me to help better the lives of those in need.
I look forward to meeting with you to further this discussion and receive
your feedback on my decision to pursue a seat on the Human Services

DECEMBER 12, 2011
Committee Members Committee Chair Jamie Perry, Elizabeth Albertson, Deborah Ranniger.
Perry called the meeting to order at 5:30 p.m.
1. Approval of Minutes
Councilmember Albertson Moved and Councilmember Ranniger Seconded a Motion to
approve the November 14, 2011 Minutes. Motion PASSED 3-0.
2. Public Hearing: Medical Cannabis Moratorium Six Month Extension
Assistant City Attorney David Galazin spoke about liabilities the city could incur as a
municipality with regard to regulating medical cannabis. He addressed options the city could
consider for regulating medical cannabis collective gardens, stating that the time needed to
consider zoning options would require a six-month extension of the moratorium.
Galazin stated that if City Council does not extend the moratorium on December 131h, there will
be a lag between the time when the current moratorium expires and the date on which any
new zoning ordinance regarding medical cannabis collective gardens would take[s] effect.
During this lag, the possibility exists for collective gardens to establish themselves and then
claim a legal nonconforming status even if the zoning ordinance eventually adopted by the city
would not permit them at that location. Galazin stated that the ordinance speaks specifically to
the regulating of medical cannabis collective gardens and does not apply to single patients or
single designated providers. Galazin stated that city council can terminate the moratorium at
any time.
Councilmember Perry Opened the Public Hearing.
Jessica King, Suzie 0's Wellness Center, 6624 S 1961h St, Suite U-101, Kent, WA stated that
individuals should have the choice to use whatever garden they wish at will. She stated that
the City should put a kibosh on the moratorium and get some action going so that medical
marijuana patients are not delayed in receiving their medication.
Scott Goggin, 2814 S. 1381h St., Kent, WA spoke in opposition to extension of the moratorium.
He stated that imposing an extension would be problematic for patients and could result in
those people resorting to illegal means to obtain their medication.
Councilmember Ranniger MOVED and Councilmember Albertson SECONDED a Motion
to close the public hearing. Motion PASSED 3-0. Councilmember Perry declared the public
hearing closed.
City Attorney Tom Brubaker stated that if the zoning ordinance is adopted December 131h it
would take effect January 131h (30 days after passage). The current moratorium expires
January 51h. If the extension passes December 131h the Council has the authority to lift the
moratorium on January 171h. If the moratorium fails, affective January 51h, anyone currently
operating or starting a business prior to the passage of zoning regulations is in an unregulated
environment, can open their business anywhere in Kent, and could argue that they are a legal
nonconforming use. Brubaker stated that a gap between the lapse of the moratorium and the
enactment of zoning would create a period of unregulated activity and a burden for the city.
The Council can vote to extend the moratorium on either December 131h or January 3r'
Councilmember Albertson Moved and Councilmember Ranniger Seconded a Motion to
move the medical cannabis 6-month moratorium extension forward to City Council
without a recommendation. Motion PASSED 3-0.

3. Medical Cannabis Collective Gardens Zoning Regulations Ordinance rZCA-2011-21
Planner Katie Graves stated that staff prepared this ordinance as recommended by the
committee. The ordinance allows collective gardens in CM1, CM2, M1, M1C, M2, M3, GC, and
GCMU. Collective gardens must set back at least 750 feet from a private or public school and
are limited to one garden per tax parcel. Collective gardens have been defined the same as
the Revised Code of Washington.
Galazin explained that Federal Preemption could occur in this situation where there is a conflict
between state and federal regulations.
At the request of Councilmember Albertson, Galazin discussed the concept of an Affirmative
Defense in general terms, as state law does not legalize the possession or use of marijuana,
but rather allows its medical use to be raised as a defense to prosecution in certain limited
circumstances. He then discussed one type of structured, permissive scheme which some
jurisdictions have implemented to obtain a high degree of regulatory control which conflicts
with the Federal Government's approach within the context of the Controlled Substances Act
(CSA).
Galazin stated that the ordinance drafted at the Committee's direction includes a usage table
amending 15.04.090 under service land uses [and] that specifically identifies zones where
collective gardens are permitted. The ordinance does not set up a system where the
regulatory powers of the city would be heavily involved and where [the federal government
has clearly stated these uses are not allowable] there is a high likelihood of conflict with
federal regulation. In an effort to reduce the risk of federal preemption, however, Galazin
submitted an amended ordinance to the Committee that identifies only the zones where
collective gardens are [restricted] prohibited rather than showing where they are permitted.
Councilmember Albertson Moved and Councilmember Perry Seconded a Motion to
recommend adoption of the amended ordinance presented by staff this evening on
the proposed Medical Cannabis Collective Gardens Zoning Regulations Ordinance
[ZCA-2011-2] and to send it to City Council. Motion PASSED 2-1 with Councilmember
Ranniger Opposed.
4. Kent City Code (KCC) 12.04 Code Amendments Ordinance rZCA-2011-31
Graves presented amendments to KCC Title 12.04.117, .210, .221, .227 and .263 as
recommended by the Land Use and Planning Board at their November 281h public hearing. She
stated that these amendments include items that clarify what constitutes a major versus a
minor code amendment, streamlines the permit process, and provides consistency with state
laws and regulations.
Satterstrom responded to questions raised by the council members with respect to Single
Family Residential/8 units per acre development regulations and clustered subdivisions within
urban separators.
Satterstrom said that KCC Section 12.04.221 deals with plat expiration for preliminary
subdivisions (plats of 10 or more lots). The ordinance updates Kent's Subdivision Code by
adopting the State's 2010 legislative action to increase plat extensions to 7 years. Satterstrom
explained that the ordinance retained administrative approval for plat extensions.
Councilmember Perry proposed to table this item to the January 9, 2012 meeting to allow staff
time to develop specific language to; clarify what a minor and major alteration is, identify how
management will grant extensions, specify the number of extensions to be allowed, address
vesting, and includes requirements for submitting a written request. Satterstrom stated that
KCC grants preliminary plat extensions indefinitely in one year increments.
Councilmember Perry TABLED the Kent City Code (KCC) 12.04 Code Amendments
Ordinance [ZCA-2011-3] to the January 9, 2012 ECDC meeting asking staff to further
evaluate the Committee's requests.

S. Communities Putting Prevention to Work (CPPW) Healthy Food Systems
Planning Manager Charlene Anderson stated that the City received grant dollars through Public
Health of Seattle/King County and CPPW. The grant is administered by Kent's Parks, Planning
and Development Division with the majority being spent on efforts towards a trails plan. There
is a component related to city-wide procurement policy encouraging healthy food at city
catering events and public facilities. For Planning the component is related to land use policies
that impact access to healthy food. Staff created a matrix of what our existing policies and
regulations state and looked at some considerations for farmers markets, additional temporary
uses, and what the City could do on agricultural lands. The draft policies were reviewed by the
LUPB and suggest prioritizing permit timelines, providing technical economic development
assistance, and media coverage for a web site. These policies will eventually move forward as
part of the update to the Comprehensive Plan on June 13, 2015.

6. Economic Development Report
Economic Development Manager Kurt Hanson reported on the Boeing Contract for production
at the 737 plant in Renton. The number of Kent manufacturing businesses supplying products
for the 737 contract has increased from 42 to 55 suppliers increasing the manufacturing
employee base to 3,000 people. Hanson stated that Cascade Gasket company has hired over
40 employees within the last 3 months as a result of their tie-in to the Boeing Contract.
Hanson reported that the Great Wall Mall sold December I" and that the Starbucks-owned
Tazo Tea group will relocate approximately 40 people to the Kent Roasting Plant facility.
Hanson reported on the Bisnow Multifamily Summit Conference he attended along with
approximately 250-300 developers and investors in Seattle. There were five panelists
representing some of the larger multifamily investors/developers on the west coast of which
George Pietre with Goodman Real Estate was one. Pietre noted that Kent was a good location
for future investment with its Transit Oriented Development potential, and with the creation of
Kent Station. Hanson updated the Committee that he is optimistic that springtime should find
the Goodman team working through the permit process on the Kent City Center project.
