motion was seconded by Debbie Raplee and passed 3-0.
Release of Waterline Easement - Authorize
Don Wickstrom said portions of existing watermains have been relocated to avoid
conflicts with the new building addition Kent School District constructed onto the
existing Cinema structure. The existing watermain easement needs to be removed and a
new watermain easement needs to be granted to the City.
Debbie Raplee moved to recommend the City Council authorize the Mayor to
execute the respective document(s) releasing any and all City rights in the waterline
easement reflected in Exhibit A upon the respective new waterline easements. The
motion was seconded by Ron Harmon and passed 3-0.
S. 212th Street Pavement Rehabilitation Project – Accept as Complete
Don Wickstrom said this project the bids were low and the federal funds exceeded the
actual cost. The street department was originally scheduled to do all roadway repairs
prior to the City’s contractor paving S. 212th Street. In order to maximize the use of
available federal funds the City opted to have the contractor do all required roadway
repairs freeing up Street crew time and money to do other street maintenance work.
Ron Harmon moved to recommend to full Council acceptance of the project as
complete upon standard releases from the state and release of any liens. The motion
was seconded by Debbie Raplee and passed 3-0
Project Cooperation Agreement with the Department of the Army - Authorize
Don Wickstrom said this agreement is with the Army Corps of Engineers for the
construction of the Meridian Valley Creek Ecosystem Restoration project. The City of
Kent’s total contribution required is projected to be $231,750.00 for the project. The
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will construct the project. Bill Wolinski, Environmental
Engineering Manager said the construction will be completed in one year, for the plants
to grow and establish will take approximately two years. The existing flume will be kept
operational until the work is complete.
Debbie Raplee moved to recommend the Council authorize the Mayor to sign the
Project Cooperation Agreement with the Army Corps of Engineers for the
construction of the Meridian Valley Creek Ecosystem Restoration project. The
motion was seconded by Ron Harmon and passed 3-0.
The meeting adjourned at 5:20 P.M.
