Surplus Equipment
Wickstrom reviewed the list of equipment to be declared surplus and
sold at auction. He added that the City of Snohomish is interested
in purchasing the vibratory roller. He requested the equipment be
offered for sale at state auction with the exception that the
vibratory roller be sold to the City of Snohomish at its appraised
value. The Committee concurred with the request.,
Lead Mechanic
Wickstrom explained the position of Maintenance Supervisor in
Equipment Rental has been redefined to that of lead mechanic which
better meets the division's needs by putting more Mechanics on the
floor. The Committee concurred with the redefinition.
LID 333 Traffic Signgl 72nd and S. 180th Street.
Wickstrom explained the process that has been taken in developing
the LID boundary. There have been several -meetings with the
property owners. It appears the project is now acceptable to the
majority of the property owners within the project boundary. The
area is zoned industrial but there is one remaining ,single family
residence within the boundary. Johnson asked if the signal would
be interconnected with the one at 180th and WVH. Wickstrom
responded it would be interconnected with the City�'s ' system. The
Committee approved proceeding with the creation of the LID.

LID 334 - Dgrbvshi a #7 Sewers
Wickstrom explained some of the septic systems in the area have
failed and at least one resident has been evicted, by the Health
Department. The property owners in the area have requested the LID
and almost all are supportive of the project. Wickstrom commented
that in conjunction with this project the gity would be
participating with the replacement of an old water mein in the area
and an overlay of the street. The Committee approved of
proceeding with the formation of the LID.
LID 297 - Meeker Street Improvements
Wickstrom reminded the Committee that when the LID was finalized it
was done so knowing there was an outstanding claim, the amount of
which we did not know at the time. It now appears 'the claim will
be settled for approximately $75, 000. There are some funds
remaining in the project budget but will require, an additional
$32,000 to settle the claim. 'Wickstrom recommended that amount be
transferred from the unencumbered sewerage fund. The Committee
concurred with the request.
Clark Springs Building I r►�ovemepts
Wickstrom explained that in reviewing the status of the project, it
was determined that some work had been approved ;by the former
Operations Manager which would overrun the budget. 'It, appears the
project fund is $47,000 short. Wickstrom recommended' that amount
be transferred from the unencumbered water utility , fund to cover
this overrun. The Committee concurred.
County Wide Road Funding
Wickstrom commented this is an informational item. Woods commented
that information had been received on this item under separate
cover as well. Wickstrom explained the County is, looking at a
County wide bond issue . Involved in that, , will be 'the
establishment of a board of elected officials ; from various
communities.

TSM (THP) Ordinance
Morris distributed a memo to the Committee (copy attached)
detailing background information on the development of this
ordinance. Morris explained work has been taking place on the
development of the ordinance for about eight months. Since the
initial presentation to the Council, the ordinance has gone through
revision by the legal department and staff resulting in this
current format (copy attached),. Morris commented the requirements
of the ordinance should help in relieving -traffic congestion.
Morris continued that the basic recommendation wo'rild be for the
Council to consider carpooling and transit useage as a method of
relieving the demand on the transportation system. Morris
commented further it is planned to present tl>gis version of the
ordinance if acceptable to the Committee to the , Chamber of Commerce
and to VATA. Comments from those organizations will be brought
back to the Committee for further direction. Woods commented she
thought the present format was very positive. She suggested a copy
of the memorandum also be given to the other members of the
Council. Jim Hansen suggested also that some addItionall time could
be spent with those Council members who had exprepsed initial
strong concerns. McFall noted that in the process of the West
Valley Study this issue was addressed by the Planning Commission.
Hansen suggested also that a time line for review of the ordinance
be developed. Johnson suggested that was a good iIdea and Woods
added that the time line be sent to the Council -,aemrs as well as
notification that the Public , Works Committee conotdered it this
date and concurred that the process should continue.
Morris introduced Carol Thompson of Metro who has been very helpful
to the Task Force during the process of develgping, t4e ordinance.
Ms. Thompson complimented the effort that has been expended in
developing the ordinance. She commented that ' otheaM jurisdictions
in the area are addressing this issue as well. She offered her
services for resource and support. Morris added that Metro has
been willing to assist with the monitoring and aftioistrative work
required in the ordinance. 'Additionally, Metro l sI,, contributed
funds for bus pullouts- on WVH.

South King County Regional Wa r Association
Wickstrom commented that in conjunction with the -davolQpment of the
Critical Water supply Plan for the South King County area, a ground
water management study is being done and will eve4tually develop
proposed legislation on protection of the aquifers . Kent' s
comprehensive water plan is being, updated for this and will be
presented to the Council soon. There are t4irea ; subcommittees
working on the ground water' management study one of' Which is the
Public Involvement Committee " chaired by John Sawyers formerly of
Federal Way Water and sewer, District. This stcommittee has
developed a technical demonstration which they twould like to
present in Kent. Tentative plans are to hold this ; in conjunction
with National Public Works Week on May 16.
Other Items
Woods requested some information on the Viotoria , Ridge project so
that she could respond to concerns of residents of'' Carriage Row.
There was a brief '`discussion regarding the 'aet�vity with the
+. development and McFall indicated he, would ' develop information
for .her.

MEMO
TOs Public Works Committee
FROMs Transportation Systems Management Task' Force
RE: Transportation Management Program Ordthance
The Transportation Systems Management (TSM) took Force
has developed a Transportation Management Prpgrtam in
accordance with recommendations of the Wont dal,'l ey
Industrial Study. Dire to the fact that the Olty Council
has placed a high priority on targeting transportation
problems within the City of Kent, we bet revel; that this
issue is very important in helping to resolve the
problem of traffic congestion.
The following Is a 1 i st of reasons why the Tusk Force
feels it is important to adopt a TMP program,withi n the
City of Kent.
1. The West Valley Industrial Study conclued that due
to increasing densities of developmsntsl'ln the
industrial area, the' City of Kent will experience
ence
an increase in the amount of traffic gegeeMated from
these' developments.
2. Approximately 90,000 additional daily vehicle trips
will be added on the City of Kent Tr•^6%oorrtati on
System based on the increased densi:ti'aw i nl the West
Valley area.
3. The additional trip generation due to increased
densities i n, the ,industrial area would 'Oesul t in
the need for two ,additional eastlwast ,cgrrlidors.
4. Due to funding limitations, it would bee ;,vilrtual 1 y
impossible to build two additional i"t.4w t
corridors In additional to the threR eaottiwest
corridors alr,eady!,pl anned.
S. Continued growth;;�in the industrial areal will
adversely impactflpeak hour transportation capacity
of arterial streets and public highways,-as, outlined
in the City of Kent Master Transportatin Plan and
the West Valley Industrial Plan.
b. However, by encouragingr, rideasharing and ,triansit
usage, the Ci ty��,,o ' Kent'`will experi ence°Jl'ass
automobile demand,�I�thereby resulting in Owmer
automobile emi ssitions, reduction in alito"bi l s
accidents, reduction i n•-Automobi 1 e;f,uol !cohsumpti on
and improvement, f, the overall safety .fOr the
motoring' put c r
it
12-Apr-88
7. City •staff would therefore recommend th#t the City
Council consider the usage of carpooling and
transit usage as 4 method of relieving the demand
on the transportation system now and ire the future.
We would also ask for comments from theiCity
Council on the latest version of the Tr pnsportati on
Management Plan Ordinance.
We would also recommend that this version of the
TMP Ordinance be presented to the Chambor ,of
Commerce and VATA if the current version is
acceptable to the City Council .
Once public input is received from the Cohamber and
VATA, the TMP Ord',inance will be brought back to the
Public Works Committee for further di rettion.

MEMO TO: FRED SATTERSTROM
FROM: CAROL PROUD C�
RE: TMP ORDINANCE PROJECT REVIEW
'The attached chart includes all developments within thA� M1, Industrial
Park, M2, Limited Industrial, and M3, General Infstrial, zoning
districts that were reviewed 'in light of SEPA provisicsiin 1987. The
following figures summarize the number and the extent, projects would
be required to comply with the proposed TMP Ordinance. ,
1. Total number of'projects reviewed = 27
2, Number of projects required to
submit annual TMP report = 21
3., Number of projects required to
post and distribute information
only = 8
4 . Number of projects required to
provide transportation coordinator
and financial incentives ' _ .13- 12
S. Number of mixed-use projects = 10
6. Number of projects exempt from TMP = 5
The Ordinance requires transportation coordinator se vices based on
one FTE coordinator per 1,000- amployees. If a projeat; Wore determined
to have 50 employees (the minimum requiring such sezVioes) then five
percent of a FTE coordinaltor Mould be required or ,twq Yours per week
of coordinator services.
The program targets an eventual reduction of employee„poak hour trips
by 20 percent. Therefore the maximum amount , an esoployer will be
required to provide financial incentives is $15 k 20, percent of the
total number of employees per,,month. In the 50 emplop scenario the
maximum amount of financial incentives required a"ually would be
$1,800.

regulate its System; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has placed a high, priority on
transportation and targeted problems associated, wtte;
transportation in Resolution Nos. 1130, 1047, and' 1f8 i calling for
recovery of public improvement costs and transportaiwd'on capacity
losses associated wi Wdevelopment inside and outsi4e the City of
Kent; and #'
WHEREAS, on February 17, 1987, the Kent,'Ciiy Council
adopted Resolution No.';1128 amending the Compreh'ensi";ve,{Plan and
adopting the West Valley Industrial Plan which establishes a nexus
between industrial development in Ml , M2, and M3 Zoning Districts
and needed Transportation System improvements and programs; and
WHEREAS, by such plans the City determines itha t continued
growth in M1 , M2, and M3 Zoning Districts adversely 'imoacts peak
hour transportation capacity of affected arterials, �streets,
public highways, and boulevards; and
WHEREAS, the Most Valley Industrial Plan identifies the
industrial employment centers as the generators of peak, hour trips
and capacity loss to the City's Transportation Man a*ement System,
and provides for objectives to reduce traffic cotge, t'ion in the
West Valley Industrial �Area, including programs"for"yi e sharing
and public transit use; and
WHEREAS, the Council recognized and ado,P e" �,a a part of
is •,
its Transportation Management System, certain stihtl�dj and
provisions of King County and Municipality of Mslot -*`' 1-ittan Seattle
Plans and requirements which do not otherwise eisp', -Aconflict
with the City's transportation plans, policies, '�nti, i��tarities;
and
_
WHEREAS, through these plans the Council has established
a policy that the private sector should be enco.uraged and/or

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENT, VASHtNV ON DOES
HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS,:
Section 1 . A'inew Section 12.15 is added to, the Kent City
Code as follows:
I
12.15. TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT PROGRAM.
12.15.010. Impacts to Transportation MAna,gelent
System. The Council finds that continued econol e_grow th and
development and neww e�ployment opportunities in llhe J".tity of Kent,
including development og the valley floor in de i nAted Ml , M2 and
M3 Zoning Districts, adversely affects the City, ra `pojrtation
Management System, including peak, hour transportatioe capacity of
the City's system. Sug{h impacts• occur in use of r4Ierlals,
streets, public highwaZI, and boulevards as det1Jled 9n Kent's
West valley Industrial Plan, the City of Kent's C41vWRkp shl nsive
Plan, Master Transportation Plan, and other City, edopted
transportation policies and plans. The Council fines that through
such plans and policies that Zoning Districts other than Ml , M2,
- 2 -
i i
i
•• , Y ,
i f
r
and M3 do not produce the same level of advers'* sy-s,tem impacts
caused by development and growth in the City as do,,Ml , M2, and M3
zones. Other Zoning Districts and the impact df, new levelopment
in such Districts upon peak hour sXstem capaciU, aje under study
and may be covered by amendments to this Ordinanceiat, a later
time. The Council further finds that new industrial developments,
including existing structures seeking improvementsi requiring City
permits or land-use clearances will attract new ,emlloj ees within
Ml , M2, and M3 zoning districts unlike other zoning districts.
These employees will generate significant single occupancy vehicle
trips thereby contributing to traffic congestion, jir`pollution
and energy consumption among other thinks. Mttigatton measures
and provisions of this Ordinance will alleviate inipaPt the loss
of peak hour system capacity and acceptable levaels of service to
the City's Transportation Management System. Public transit, ride
sharing, commuter pool , and "flex time° employer .2rograms as
developed by the Municipality of Metropolitan Seattle (METRO) and
other cities are relatively simple, inexpensiue.,_apd effective
means for reducing peak hour single occupancy .1 hiple trips which
have been identified as the principal cause of "tra!fip congestion,
loss of peak hour transportation capacity, and,neq for presently
planned and future transportation infrastructure t#tpr2vements.
Developers, either as landowners and/or employers,.baye a
responsibility to reduce the number of employee SOY peak hour
trips, extend the life of the City's Transportatig -Management
System, and help restore lost capacity to the City,;
Transportation Management System caused by their olye1,opment. The
requirements of this Chapter are supplemental +ta a'hd hot in lieu
of public improvement requirements provided upper tong City Code
Chapter 4.14 and Kent City Code Titles 12, 13,�1��ang 15.
12.15.020 Purpose and Goals.
1 . The purpose of this Ordinance 1e ,t, r
a. reduce peak hour traffic coftiostion and lost
transportation system capacity, caused by anticipatttO and actual
growth and development through the reduction of tlgp: nUmber of
single occupancy vehicle (SOV) trips associatedt with new
development in MI , M2j and M3 zoning districts,r ,1Mlping
improvements to existing structures requiring Ci,U,, pe„omits;
b. mitigate adverse traffic"i, i associated
with increased SOV trips and traffic congestion by rewiring all
3 -
new industrial development-land existing development to, the' extent
improvements or expansion is sought to be responsible for
providing„facilities and incentives to their employees or, tenants
to encourage greater participation in ride sharing, transit
(public and private transportation providers), -"flex time", and
other employee-related programs. Large developments will be
effected to accomplish a higher percentage SOV reduction than
small developments; and
c, protect the' public's health, safety;
welfare, and the environment and to lower public sector and social
costs associated with traffic congestion by providing for the
establishment and maintenance of sound planning and
decision making practices, for carrying out a range of
Transportation System Management actions and incentives.
d. mittlate impacts upon specific City
Transpor ation Management stem projects and elements that, are
the direct result ofrproposrod development which the City has
identified in its 'ComprehMsive Plan, Master Transportation Plan,
M
and West-ValleX Industrial Plan relating to transportation impacts
as a consequence of i.ndustirial development in M1 , M2, and M3
Zoning Districts whether or not such consequences or direct
impacts are identified in a_n environmental document prepared under
the State Environmental Po�lxicy Act, RCW 43.21C.
2. The provi-sions of this Ordinance applies
directly to new and existsog development as is permitted by law;
and, further, it is incorporated into environmental policies for
purposes of RCW 43.21C.060 •and RCW 43.21C.120; and KCC
12.12A.510.D.3.s as enforceable •environmental policies, plans, and
regulations in the mitigatlo n of adverse environmental impacts to
the built and the natural &Ayironment. Enforcement of such
policies, plans,_ and regulations shall include mitigation of such
impacts through conditionim+s and denial of permit applications in
the City-'s_ land-use and deelsion-making process. It is the
further intent of the Council that the requirements of this
Chapter shall be, 9mposed uqn real property subject to this
property and shall bind and jand all successors in interest,
assigns, transferees, and his rs as a duly recorded and interest in
real property that shall ruji with the land as enforceable
