Board. The loan is for $1-million and would be applied to project design and permits for a new
water reservoir to be located at the Kent East Hill Operations Center site. He went over the loan
terms and stated that the low interest rate on these loans saves the City considerable expense
versus bonding costs and interest. Questions were raised by the Committee, about the location of
the reservoir Chad Bieren addressed those questions by noting that a separate Conditional Use
Permit process would be required before the reservoir could be constructed.
Harmon moved to recommend the Mayor be authorized to execute the Public Works
Trust Fund Pre-Construction Loan Agreement for the East Hill Water Reservoir in the
amount of $1,000,000, establish a budget for the funds and direct staff to sped the
money accordingly. The motion was seconded by Ranniger and passed 3-0.

Corps of Engineers (USACE), in partnership with 17 local jurisdictions, non-profit organizations and
the Muckleshoot Tribe, completed the Feasibility Report for the Duwamish/Green Ecosystem
Restoration Project (ERP). The focus of the ERP is the design and construction of 45 habitat
restoration projects throughout the Green/Duwamish watershed. This contract will support the
City of Kent’s effort, on behalf of Watershed Resource Inventory Area 9 (WRIA 9) Forum, to secure
the FY08 Energy and Water Appropriation request.

amended chapter 7.03 of the Kent City Code relating to garbage collection services in the city of
Kent by its adoption of Ordinance No. 3832 on March 20, 2007.
Staff recommends an additional revision to KCC 7.03.050 to clarify the duty required of property
owners, landlords, and tenants to prevent spillage and overflow of garbage on their properties.

From: Cathy Mooney, Senior Transportation Planner
Through: Larry Blanchard, Public Works Director
Subject: Amendment No. 2 to Transit Service Agreement (Route 918) with King
County Metro Transit
ITEM 4
Background/History: Better known as the Kent Commuter Shuttle, this route was started in
February 2003, after unsuccessful efforts to convince King County Metro to provide such service.
We finally were awarded a Federal ITS Grant with the help of Senator Patty Murray to get this off
the ground with the inauguration of the Sounder Commuter Rail Service. At the same time, King
County Councilmember Julia Patterson was instrumental in convincing Metro to use a Federal
CMAQ grant for funding for the first two years of this demonstration program. Our ITS grant
took over in year three and is the funding source at this time.
The Kent Commuter Shuttle meets each Sounder commuter train in the morning and afternoon.
Commuters depart from the train or from express buses at the Kent Transit Center, get on the
Commuter Shuttle, and ride to their workplace in the valley. In the afternoon, the shuttle picks
up commuters at or near their worksites and returns them to the Kent Transit Center to transfer
to their bus or train for the ride home.
There are currently four trips in the morning and again in the afternoon but this is expected to
change to six in September 2007. Sound Transit expects to add an earlier northbound train to its
existing schedule and will finally add the long anticipated southbound train from Seattle to
Tacoma in the morning; returning to Seattle in the afternoon.
Motion: Required Not Required For Information Only
Recommend Council authorize the Mayor to sign Amendment No. 2 to Transit
Service Agreement (Route 918) between the City of Kent and King County, upon
concurrence of the language therein by the City Attorney and Public Works
Director.
Will document be required?

Page 2 of 2 U:\PWCommittee\2007\ActionPage\PWC080607.doc
These two new trains add 254 transit service hours to this Agreement for a total of 1,515
estimated transit service hours. The driver contract renewal does not coincide with the Sound
Transit train addition so the conversion is not straightforward. Nor do we know the exact timing
of new trains being added to the Sound Transit schedule. The cost for February 2008 to February
2009 is estimated to be approximately $87,158. This cost will be fully funded by the Federal ITS
Intracity Transit Grant.
Summary: This Amendment extends the current Agreement for another year, from February
2008 until February 2009. It also specifies the operating costs for which the City will compensate
the County during this period.
Recommendations: Recommend Council authorize the Mayor to sign Amendment No. 2 to
Transit Service Agreement (Route 918) between the City of Kent and King County, upon
concurrence of the language therein by the City Attorney and Public Works Director.

Subject: Lower Green River Property Acquisition
Item 5
Background/History: The City, through the Water Resource Inventory Area 9 Steering
Committee and Forum, and in partnership with King County and the Green River Flood Control
District, successfully applied for a Salmon Recovery Funding Board Grant for $975,000 in 2003.
The City is to provide $180,000 match funding with King County and the Green River Flood Control
District providing $25,000 each as well. This grant was dedicated to the purchase of the Rosso
Nursery, which was actively for sale at the time. The City, after much time and effort, was
ultimately unsuccessful in negotiating a price for the Rosso Nursery and afterward the Tuefel
Nursery, which ended up purchasing the Rosso Nursery properties in Kent.
Consequently, the City is in the process of gaining approval from the Salmon Recovery Funding
Board to transfer the grant to other properties along the Lower Green River. The alternate
properties are located south and east of the Old Fishing Hole along Frager Road and will provide a
significant opportunity for a long reach of salmon habitat restoration projects. The properties could
be used to provide areas for new floodplain habitat and back channels, which will provide refuge
and summer rearing areas for all of the species of salmonids which live in the Lower Green.
The Koch Property, also located along the Lower Green just upstream from the other properties, is
currently in the process of being acquired by the City Parks Department through separate grants.
Motion: Required Not Required For Information Only
Move to recommend authorizing the purchase of the properties known as the
Desimone Property, the Flowers Property, and the Koch Property in part with grant
funds from the Salmon Recovery Funding Board for Lower Green River Acquisition as
well as grant funds from the King County Conservation Futures Grant Program.

P:\Public\AdminSup\Beth\PWCommittee\ActionPage.doc
This grant would complete the funding needed to purchase that property. The riverbank area of
this property would be dedicated to salmon habitat protection and restoration.
The nature of this Salmon Recovery Funding Board Grant is such that these property acquisitions
are not subject to imminent domain.
Summary: The City, as the successful recipient of a Salmon Recovery Funding Board Grant for
Lower Green River Acquisition, is in the process of transferring the grant funding from the Rosso
Properties to the Desimone, Flowers, Lotto and Koch Properties with the intent to purchase those
properties.
Recommendations: Move to recommend authorizing the purchase of the properties known as
the Desimone Property, the Flowers Property, the Lotto Property and the Koch Property with grant
funds from the Salmon Recovery Funding Board for Lower Green River Acquisition as well as grant
funds from the King County Conservation Futures Grant Program.

In the interest of finalizing this transaction quickly and efficiently and taking advantage of the
benefit of King County staff and property owners who have built trust in each other, this agreement
will allow the City to contract with King County to engage in these sensitive property negotiations.
Summary: The City is in the process of working with the Salmon Recovery Funding Board to
transfer a grant from the purchase of the Rosso Properties to other properties, one of which is the
Lotto Property. King County staff has built a level of trust with the Lotto’s in past discussions and
would be able to aid the City in completing the property transaction.
Recommendations: Move to recommend authorizing the Mayor to execute the Agreement for

Subject: Acceptance of Funds/Kent Events Center Floodplain Mitigation Project
ITEM 7
Background/History:
The Waste Action Project, a citizen environmental group, has proposed to give the City funding
to be used specifically for fish and wildlife habitat and water quality projects in the City of Kent.
The City has a number of projects in various stages of planning and design which include these
types of features, including the Kent Events Center Floodplain Mitigation Project. This project,
located on the Boeing Creek along S. 212th St. and 68th Ave. S., includes excavation of
floodplain storage along the channel. The project would not be required to include additional
features; however, this funding would be able to provide some of those features through the
installation of large woody debris structures along the channel. The woody structures would
provide cover for any fish in the channel and provide some of the essential nutrients in the food
chain for the Coho which live just downstream in Mill Creek.
Summary:
The Waste Action Project proposes to give to the City $15,000 in funds to be used to construct
fish and wildlife habitat and water quality features on the Kent Events Center Floodplain
Mitigation Project. The funds will need to be accepted by the City and a budget established to
spend the funds.
Recommendations:
Authorize the Mayor to accept the $15,000 in funds and establish the budget for the Waste
Action Project to be used for fish and wildlife habitat and water quality features in the Kent
Events Center Floodplain Mitigation Project.
Motion: Required Not Required For Information Only
Authorize the Mayor to accept the $15,000 in funds and establish the budget for the
Waste Action Project to be used for fish and wildlife habitat and water quality
features in the Kent Events Center Floodplain Mitigation Project.
