Revenues Most revenue sources, including sales tax, utility tax and permitting fees revenues are showing a slight improvement over past years. Overall revenues are estimated to end the year very near budget. Highlights include: Tax revenues, including Sales Tax and Utility Tax, are expected to come in very near budget. Building Permits and Plan Check Fees combined thru February are up 62.6% from the same time last year. Expenditures Current projections end the year at about $418,000 or 0.7% below the budget. A continued lag in hiring is expected to contribute towards expenditures coming in below budget. B. Nachlinger commented that the City will start to see the affects of the Liquor Tax revenue loss on July 1 in the amount of $300k. The meeting was adjourned at 4:26 p.m. by L. Thomas. Pamela Clark Operations Committee Secretary KENT W.=r i ECONOMIC & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MINUTES April 9, 2012 Committee Members Committee Chair Jamie Perry, Deborah Ranniger, Bill Boyce. Perry called the meeting to order at 5:30 p.m. 1. Code Enforcement Update Economic and Community Director Ben Wolters introduced Code Enforcement Officer (CEO) Brian Swanberg. He stated that the city processed and successfully closed over 600 cases through December 2011 with two code enforcement officers. Wolters stated that the code violation process begins by receiving complaints (whereby many times the code enforcement officer is able to resolve complaints by phone), if a determination of violation is made, fines are levied and the alleged violator may appeal to the Hearing Examiner (HE). Wolters stated that only a couple cases have been taken to Superior Court within the last decade and it is pretty egregious when that happens. He stated that he along with Building Office Bob Hutchinson and Brian detected a gap between what Kent is able to do under the law versus what people expect Kent to do. Swanberg stated that code enforcement evaluates complaints by phone or through site visits to determine if a violation exists and warrants further action. Code Enforcement will ask for a description of the potential violation and for an address of where the violation exists. Code violations are assigned a case number through the KIVA tracking system, and information is entered into the system as the case progresses. Swanberg stated that research for property ownership is completed to ensure the applicable property owners or those with a vested interest in the property (such as tenants) will be contacted. Cases are closed when violations are corrected. If violations are not corrected an admonishment or notice of compliance letter is mailed to the applicable parties. Extensions are issued to allow time to correct violations under mitigating circumstances. If violations continue unresolved, a correction notice is sent out defining the consequences of noncompliance and includes the issuance of a $500 fine. The violation will be reviewed by the City law department, and will be heard before the HE who has the authority to reduce the fine to $100. A Notice of Violation does not predicate a HE meeting. Wolters stated that Kent is constrained by State law in how far code enforcement can go in pursuing correction. Code enforcement has streamlined their procedures over the years, are trying to incorporate and get citizens involved by calling the city to report when violations have been cleared up which saves the city time and money. City Council and citizens want the City to get more aggressive in terms of pursuing correction of violations. Pursuing violations through Superior Court requires resources that the City does not have available. It would benefit the city to have specific funds set aside to pursue solutions. Wolters questioned if the committee wishes to examine community standards although that would create the question about Washington's property rights law. Councilmember Perry asked staff to evaluate other cities codes, review Kent's code to evaluate where it could be strengthened and where gaps exist. City Council's perception is that the codes are too lenient. Perry stated that she would like the code to address handling of abandoned buildings. Wolters noted that Swanberg is attempting to get hold of the owner of an abandoned house on Meeker Street near Naden being used an encampment for the homeless. Wolters stated that the City does not have the money to pursue placing a lien on the property citing that having an estimated $25,000 available would allow Swanberg a little latitude to pursue legal action. City Attorney Tom Brubaker stated that Tammy Purdue is prepared on all the cases that have to go to court. Swanberg stated that staff is prioritizing cases so that violations that pose life safety risks are addressed first. ECDC Minutes April 9,2012 Page 1 of 2. Approval of Minutes Councilmember Ranniger Moved and Councilmember Boyce Seconded a Motion to approve the March 12, 2012 Minutes. Motion PASSED 3-0. 3. Second Public Hearing: ZCA-2011-3 Amendments to KCC 12.04.221 Planner Katie Graves stated that this hearing addresses amendments to Kent City Code (KCC) Chapter 12.04.221 that regulates extensions and expirations of preliminary plats. Graves stated that these updates are part of an overall effort to keep codes current, respond to changes to State law, and provide clarity. Planning Director Fred Satterstrom stated that the City must conform to State law. He stated that State law recently changed the period of validity from 5 to 7 years. A Bill signed by the Governor extends that time period to 9 years effective June 2012 for preliminary plats approved prior to Dec 31, 2007. 30 of 34 plats inventoried by staff will be subject to the new law. Brubaker noted that the RCW will revert to a 5-year period of validity in 2015. Councilmember Boyce MOVED and Councilmember Perry SECONDED a Motion to Open the Public Hearing. Motion Passed 3-0. Jack Kastien, 20609 941h Ave S, Kent, WA, 98031 spoke in support of Option B to not allow preliminary plat expiration extensions beyond the RCW time limitation (7 years, no extensions). He submitted his testimony (established as Exhibit 1) for the record. Garrett Huffman, Master Blders Association of King & Snohomish Counties spoke in support of Option B with the addition of a 1 year 'date-certain' extension. Councilmember Boyce MOVED and Councilmember Perry SECONDED a Motion to close the Public Hearing. Motion Passed 3-0. After deliberating, Councilmember Boyce MOVED and Councilmember Perry SECONDED a Motion to recommend to the City Council approval of a new Option D for the RCWs 9 year period of validity plus the addition of a 1 year automatic extension bright line rule. Motion Passed 2-1 with Councilmember Ranniger Opposed. 4. Economic Development Plan (EDP) - Phase II Contract Wolters introduced Chris Mefford, Principal of Community Attributes International (CAI). He stated that CAI is the economic consultant firm retained to develop the new Economic Development Strategy (EDS) for the city of Kent of which Phase I has been completed. Wolters introduced a proposal to the Committee to consider acceptance of a contract for $49,000 to proceed with Phase II to develop the action plan for the EDS in keeping with what the Council granted as part of the 2012 budget. Wolters stated that monies was shifted from the budget identified for the Midway Subarea Plan (MSP) to backfill the reduced amount originally identified for Phase II as staff determined that Phase II took priority at this time and that the City had time for the MSP to mature. Staff envisions tackling the MSP beginning next year. Mefford stated in Phase I staff gathered information on how to bring people together with a common understanding of the local economy and identified several goals for Kent and the Region that would be a focus for Phase II. Those goals includes considering where opportunities exist to link neighborhoods, Downtown, Kent Station, ShoWare Center, and Industrial areas for ease of strategy. Phase II is an engagement process whereby cluster strategies will be refined and opportunities for diversification will be looked at. A detailed action strategy includes engaging stakeholders and businesses through holding a series of subcommittee meetings and community wide forums. Mefford stated he envisions concrete tangible action steps being implemented by stakeholders through a variety of formats. Wolters stated that Phase I of the EDS developed a consensus of what the city's priorities should be in terms of economic development in the community and provided staff and policy makers with a reference point to guide what things the City would pursue. That plan played into the ECDC Minutes April 9,2012 Page 2 of previous strategic goals of the City Council. Wolters stated that staff reviewed the previous plan to discover that about 3/4 of what was contained in the plan had been accomplished and considered the relevancy of those things not yet accomplished. Wolters and Mefford stated they would remain engaged with the Economic Community Development Committee (ECDC) and City Council with the desire to hold a business forum that would include Council participation. Wolters stated that resolution and adoption of the plan would be part of the ECDC's delivery process. Councilmember Boyce MOVED and Councilmember Perry SECONDED a Motion to authorize the contract with Community Attributes International for Phase II of the Economic Development Strategic Plan. Motion PASSED 3-0. S. Economic Development Report & Permit Process Update Wolters reported that the pace is continuing with the Goodman project; Town Square Center and Town Square Apartments. One staff review meeting has been completed and a second meeting scheduled. There is a question of whether or not they will save the existing foundation slab. This has a financial consequence for Kent under the terms of agreement Kent had for the lease to own. If the slab is saved, the cost of demolishing will not be deducted from the initial payment which occurs at time of sale resulting in a bigger payment to Kent at that point. If the slab is demolished, the cost would be deducted from the initial payment then added to what we would collect over time in the payment process phase after it opens. This is a unique deal that matches Kent's needs with their needs. In response to Perry, Wolters stated Goodman is preparing for a review by the Downtown Design Review Committee to include review of design and materials for the fascia of the building. He stated that preliminary work is in keeping with what City Council desires. Wolters stated that a formal process as identified in code is being followed noting that he would speak with Economic Development Manager Kurt Hanson about holding a briefing with the Citizens Advisory Committee.

D. Ralph moved to recommend that City Council adopt the proposed ordinance amending Chapter 9.36 of the Kent City Code, entitled "Traffic Code". The motion was seconded by L. Thomas and passed 3-0. 3. Police Department Updates — INFO ONLY Chief of Police Ken Thomas shared information about a Make-A-Wish Foundation event that was held at the police station on April 71h. Patrick, a six-year-old Kent School District student who loves Legos and police was treated to a "Going Away Party"just prior to his trip to Lego Land in San Diego, California. A group of twenty family members and friends surprised Patrick by meeting him at the station as he was escorted from his home by Officer Whitley. Officer Whitley's wife, Diana, volunteers with the Foundation and is also a KSD teacher so she was able to organize the perfect party for Patrick. Red Robin arrived for the party and donated a special lunch for the group. Everyone was given a tour of the station, a close-up look at police vehicles and introduced to a couple of K-9 teams. It was a positive event for our department and it was an honor for our department to partner with the Make-A-Wish Foundation for Patrick's party. Chief Thomas spoke about the retreat held at the end of February for police department managers. Two primary focus areas for the department are short-term goal setting for enhancing and developing staff, to include succession planning, and enhancing and developing investigative service models. Les Thomas and Dana Ralph were able to attend the retreat. They both commended the facilitator, Support Services Manager Sheila Knapp, for the way she handled the meeting. Chief Thomas provided a staffing update on police officer hiring, stating that one lateral and two entry level officers were hired on March 13th, and conditional offers have been given to two additional lateral officers. Interviews of three lateral officers will occur over the next two weeks. There are five police officer vacancies plus one commander vacancy. He remarked that quality is number one in the hiring process and that the high level hiring standards will not be compromised. Chief Thomas reported that CrimeReports.com is live now and available for residents to use. Crime Reports.com is an on-line tool that provides data on several types of crime that occur in the city. Chief Thomas stated the jail population has experienced high peaks recently, creating a strain on the corrections facility. Thirteen inmates were sent to the Chelan County Jail last week on the contract basis to ease overcrowding at Kent's jail. Les Thomas asked Chief Thomas about a previous evening's news report of a car accident involving a Kent Police car. Chief stated it was a non-injury collision involving one police car and one citizen's car. Dana Ralph asked Chief Thomas if he had any preliminary numbers on the success of the recent DUI emphasis last Saturday. She rode-along with an officer and noted the good cooperation between Washington State Patrol, Washington State Liquor Control Board, Kent, Renton, Federal Way and Auburn Police Departments. The multi-jurisdictional emphasis resulted in 15 arrests, with Kent PD making the highest number of arrests. 4. Medical Mariivana - INFO ONLY Chair Boyce invited Assistant City Attorney David Galazin to provide a summary of the medical marijuana issue as it affects the City of Kent. Marijuana is a Schedule I controlled substance at the federal level. 7/5/11 - City Council voted on and passed an emergency six-month moratorium on medical marijuana. The Economic and Community Development Committee was tasked to work on zoning issues regarding medical marijuana. 7/22/11 - SB 5073 was passed by the Legislature and became effective. The bill allows dispensaries and collective gardens in the state. Governor Gregoire signed a partial veto of the bill, deleting some sections and adding others. Section 1102.1 of the bill permits cities to regulate "collective gardens". Several businesses had popped up in Kent as "dispensaries" and then tried to categorize themselves as "collective gardens". 1/12/12 - The Economic and Community Development Committee reported that although a proposal was received from Planning, the committee was not able to reach a consensus after several meetings. City Council voted on and passed an extension of the moratorium to July 2012. The extension will allow the Committee more time to work on the issue. D. Ralph stated she cannot be supportive of medical marijuana dispensaries or collective gardens, or of the zoning for them. She added that she took an oath in January as an newly elected official to uphold the law. She asked if the city could make an outright ban on dispensaries and collective gardens. D. Galazin stated that marijuana is still illegal under federal law no matter what the state has passed. State law has specifically described "collective gardens". It also states that cities are authorized and can exercise zoning requirements within a city by listing uses available by each zone. L. Thomas said he would like to see a permanent moratorium. He asked if this committee could recommend this to the Economic and Community Development Committee. Deputy City Attorney Pat Fitzpatrick provided Les Thomas a written motion with a recommendation to the Economic and Community Development Committee to address the matter of zoning. P. Fitzpatrick added it would be an appropriate recommendation for. this committee to make to the other committee. Public Safety Committee Minutes 2 April 10, 2012 D. Galazin stated there was potential for involvement of the Land Use and Planning Board to hold a hearing on the issue, but Council has the prerogative to take back that right and take on the responsibility themselves. D. Ralph asked what the timeframe would be for a public hearing. The Economic and Community Development Committee meets on May 14th and a public hearing could be held at the May 21" City Council meeting. D. Galazin distributed a draft ordinance to the members. Added motion: S. Medical Mariivana Zoning and Ordinance - Recommend L. Thomas moved the Public Safety Committee hereby recommends that the Economic and Community Development Committee address the matter of zoning for medical marijuana dispensaries and collective gardens and further recommends the committee pass an ordinance banning medical marijuana dispensaries and collective gardens from the city of Kent.

Bieren noted that Kent's Page 2 of 4 PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE Minutes of Monday, April 2, 2012 portion of the single family residential sewer rates are currently $16.61 per month. King County's portion of our Utility bill is $36.10 per month. Design Engineering Supervisor, Ken Langholz explained that FCS Group, Inc. will have the responsibility of reviewing the current utility rates, funding of capital projects, and forecasting revenues required to operate the sanitary sewer system over the next five- to ten-year period. Having this information will assist council and staff to know when to raise rates. Ralph MOVED to recommend Council authorize the Mayor to sign a Consultant Services Contract with FCS Group, Inc. to perform a sanitary sewer utility rate study, for an amount not to exceed $45,085 subject to final terms and conditions acceptable to the City Attorney and Public Works Director. The motion was SECONDED by Albertson and PASSED 3-0, with Higgins' Concurrence. Item 6 — Info Only/Volunteer — Adopt-A-Street and Adopt-A-Catch Basin Programs: Public Works Director, Tim LaPorte noted that the goal of both the Adopt-a-Street and Adopt-A-Catch Basin Programs is to utilize volunteers, citizen groups and business to help care for the City. Gina Hungerford, Conservation Specialist explained that this program has been implemented by a number of other cities. Hungerford stated that the Adopt-a-Street Program is being implemented in response to a local group's request to adopt a street and to provide an opportunity for other Kent residents, businesses and organizations to make a difference by contributing their time and energy to keep the City beautiful and protect the environment by helping to remove litter in the community. To get started go to http://www.kentwa.gov/Adopt-a-Street-Program/ . Todd Hunsdorfer, Environmental Conservation Tech explained that the design of the Adopt-A-Catch Basin Program is very similar to the Adopt-a-Street program. Concerned residents would volunteer their time to monitor neighborhood catch basins; keep drains free from leaves and debris, report pollution and educate neighbors. This program would help the City meet its National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit requirements encourage residents to make a difference in their neighborhood, and help reduce the chances of localized flooding by keeping catch basins clear of debris. Staff will work with neighborhood councils to implement the program. A Stormwater web page will soon be available at www.kentwa.gov/stormwater; volunteers would get a map of their area and where all the drains are located. Volunteers will track their time which will help the city meet NPDES requirements. Information Only/No Motion Required Page 3 of 4 PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE Minutes of Monday, April 2, 2012 Item 7 — Information Only/Water Festival: Gina Hungerford, Conservation Specialist stated that the City welcomed nearly 1,400 4th and 5th grade students, their teachers and parent chaperones at the 13th Annual Water Festival on March 27 & 28, 2012 at Green River Community College. A schedule for the two days was handed out to committee members. Students rotated through 30 classes (259 presentations total), topics ranged from water sources, conservation, and water quality protection, to wastewater, the watershed, salmon habitat, and recycling. Teachers and students were very appreciative. Hungerford noted that the 13 year mission is to two fold, 1) Make students aware that everything they do affects the water and 2) Help students become better stewards of the water system. Since its inception in 2000, the Water Festival has benefitted approximately 15,000 students in our area. No Motion Required/Information Only Item 8 — Information Only/Transportation Committee - Update: Public Works Director, Tim LaPorte stated that two meetings have been held to date, the next meeting will be held on Tuesday, April 3, LaPorte handed out an agenda to the committee. He will be inviting Suzanne Smith, Transportation Advisory Committee Chair to attend the Operations Committee to give a very brief update on what the committee is doing. No Motion Required/Information Only Added Item: Tim Clark, Member of the Kent School Board asked about the stormwater fee schedule. He stated that the School District clearly wants to be good stewards building efficient schools, but that is also wants to minimize expenses. The meeting was adjourned at 5:22 p.m. Cheryl Viseth Council Committee Recorder Page 4 of 4 PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE Minutes of Monday, April 16, 2012 COMMITTEE MEMBERS PRESENT: Committee Chair Elizabeth Albertson and Committee members Dennis Higgins and Dana Ralph were present. The meeting was called to order at 4:01 p.m. Councilmember Higgins noted that minutes from the April 2 n d Public Works Committee meeting would be included in the next packet. Item 1—Amendment to Interlocal Agreement with King County — Stormwater Pond Maintenance: Environmental Engineering Supervisor, Alex Murillo gave an informative PowerPoint presentation with many photographs of storm ponds that are in need of cleaning. He explained that in order to keep the City in Compliance with our NPDES Permit and to reduce our overall costs, the City is proposing to partner with King County to complete the maintenance of 41 stormwater ponds citywide. Murillo stated that King County crews would begin cleaning the stormwater ponds in May, with a September 2012 end date. The City has an existing interlocal agreement with King County that allows the County to perform work at the City's request, based on the County's availability. The cost to use King County crews for this work is not to exceed $620,000. Similar work was done in 2011. Higgins asked how many ponds King County cleaned last year. Murillo stated that 47 ponds were cleaned last year on time and under budget; King County quoted $760,000 to complete the work and came in near or just under $400,000. Ralph MOVED to recommend Council authorize the Mayor to sign an Amendment to the City's Interlocal Agreement with King County to perform maintenance on the City's Stormwater Ponds, subject to final terms and conditions acceptable to the City Attorney and Public Works Director. The motion was SECONDED by Higgins and PASSED 3-0. Item 2 — Contract/Washington Patrol Division — After Hours Remote Watershed Security: Water Field Supervisor, Kevin Swinford gave an informative PowerPoint presentation that explained the need for remote sight security at two watersheds located in the Black Diamond/Maple Valley area; Kent and Clark Springs. These two sites provide a significant portion of Kent's daily water supply. Security is a very important matter at all water facilities and, due to the remote nature of these two primary water sources, the City has contracted with local security firms in the past to provide after hour and weekend security patrols. Washington Patrol Division provided security services in 2011 and has provided a high level of service. Page 1 of 5 PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE Minutes of Monday, April 16, 2012 Higgins asked how many years we have hired security. Brad Lake, Water Superintendent stated we have been providing after hour security for approximately 10 years. Higgins MOVED to recommend Council authorize the Mayor to approve a Goods and Services Agreement between the City of Kent and Washington Patrol Division to provide after hour security patrols for Kent and Clark Springs watersheds in an amount not to exceed $2,550 per month, subject to final terms and conditions acceptable to the City Attorney and Public Works Director. The motion was SECONDED by Ralph and PASSED 3-0. Item 3 - Soil Screener Eauioment Purchase: Environmental Conservation Supervisor, Kelly Peterson and Utilities Superintendent, Greg Reed provided an informative PowerPoint presentation giving an overview of the soil screener they are requesting and why it is needed. Peterson noted that the screener would be purchased through a grant from the Washington State Department of Ecology, Stormwater Capacity Grant and that the grant is to be used exclusively for the purpose of addressing stormwater needs that protect water quality, and are relevant to the City's Phase II Municipal Stormwater National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. Under the guidelines of the grant, a soil screener is an approved purchase. Utility Superintendent, Greg Reed showed several photographs depicting various uses for the screener and what it would allow Public Works Operations crews to do: 1. Filter out trash and debris from catch basin solids collected during cleaning and maintenance. 2. Aerate the solids to speed the composting process 3. Eliminate the cost of renting a screener 4. Provide low-cost compost for roadside plantings These elements will increase efficiency and allow staff to maintain their rigorous schedule of catch basin maintenance and repairs while simultaneously saving money on rental costs and staff time. To rent a screener last year for a 3 - 4 week period cost approximately $5,000 to $6,000 per week. Reed believes that the life expectancy of this screener would be 20 years. Ralph MOVED to recommend Council authorize the Mayor to sign a purchase order for the purchase of a soil screener subject to final terms and conditions acceptable to the City Attorney and Public Works Director. The motion was SECONDED by Higgins and PASSED 3-0. Page 2 of 5 PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE Minutes of Monday, April 16, 2012 Item 4 — Lease Agreement/Plemmons Industries — Traffic Signal/Street lighting Maintenance Facility: City Engineer, Chad Bieren explained that this lease would provide an offsite traffic operations shop for traffic signal equipment and material; there is no space in existing city-owned facilities for these employees and their equipment. Bieren noted we have been renting offsite for the past five years and that this lease agreement would extend the lease three additional years, giving staff an interim facility to house Traffic Signal and Streetlight Maintenance activities of the Public Works Department. The cost of the rental agreement increased 5 percent over last year's cost. Higgins MOVED to recommend Council authorize the Mayor to sign a Lease Agreement with Plemmons Industries for a period of 3 years to lease warehouse space to be used as the Traffic Signal and Streetlight Maintenance Facility per attached lease agreement, subject to final terms and conditions acceptable to the City Attorney and Public Works Director. The motion was SECONDED by Ralph and PASSED 3-0. Item 5 — Information Only/Railroad Quiet Zone - Update: City Engineer, Chad Bieren noted that it has been almost a year since we had the wayside horn demonstration at the corner of Titus and 1't Avenue. The wayside horns allow the trains not to blast the full horn at the locomotive, but to use horns on each side of the crossing to reduce the noise of each individual crossing in town. The City does not have money budgeted for the entire project, but as the economy recovers we may be able to assemble an adequate funding package to complete the entire quiet zone. The following crossings; 259th Street, Willis, Gowe, Meeker, Smith and James Streets are in the current plan to either place wayside horns or install treatments in the medians at the crossings thus further reducing wayside noise. Bieren addressed questions regarding the cost for each crossing, stating a cost of approximately $120,000 for installation only. Maintenance would be an additional, ongoing cost. Bieren stated we are looking at a total cost of hundreds of thousands for Burlington Northern and around $1.5 to $2 million for the Union Pacific. We are working out agreements with the railroads. Higgins asked about money previously budgeted for the project. The exact amount was not known. This information will be provided at a later date. Information Only/No Motion Required Item 6 — Information Only/Riverview Park Side-Channel Restoration and Ground Breaking Ceremony: Environmental Engineer, Beth Tan noted the project has been ten years in the works trying to secure grant funding for the City's share of the project. The project is located on City parks property known as Riverview Park which is Page 3 of 5 PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE Minutes of Monday, April 16, 2012 located along the Green River, south of Willis Street by LA Fitness. The project is under construction in partnership with US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) through the USACE Green/Duwamish Ecosystem Restoration Program. The Corps will pay for 65% of construction and the City will be responsible for the remaining 35%. Tan noted that the City has secured a couple of grants to cover our costs. Tan showed an artist's rendition of the area depicting what it will look like once the project is completed, with the creation of a new, side-river channel with woody debris and habitat plantings. The project will provide summer rearing habitat and high flow winter refuge for juvenile salmon along the Green River. A pedestrian bridge will also be added to aid in maintenance and watering the plants at the site. The site is primarily used as a passive park. Once construction is complete there will be an interpretive sign, a walking trail and continued fishing along the bank. Construction has started and will continue into the fall. A Ground Breaking Ceremony is tentatively scheduled for June 6, more information to follow. No Motion Required/Information Only Item 7 — Information Only/2012 Street Update: Public Works Director, Tim LaPorte stated that because of the overall budget situation we are endeavoring to keep the Committee updated regarding street funds. Street Superintendent, Bill Thomas provided an update on the 2012 street work plan, numerous photographs and maps depicting work completed to-date and work that is planned for the next three months. He touched on the following: • Sidewalk Repairs • Hazardous Tree Removal • Vegetation Maintenance in Planted Traffic Islands • Sidearm Shoulder Mowing • Litter Removal • Type III Barricade Installation • School Zone Crosswalk Sign Upgrades - The goal is to upgrade 70 of the 200 City wide signs.
