Subject: Joint Funding Agreement for the cooperative data-collection program
with the U.S. Geological Survey
Summary:
This is an on-going program with the City of Kent and the U.S. Geological Survey
(USGS) for stream data collection. The City of Kent will contribute $46,610 to the
annual program costs of $88,650 with the USGS providing the remainder.
These gages provide valuable information on stream and weather conditions, including
water surface elevations, flow levels and amounts of precipitation. This information is
used to calibrate stream flow models and increase the accuracy of City design of
stormwater flood projection models. The gages, through their link to internet web
sites, allow staff and the public to monitor stream flow levels from remote locations.
The stream flow measured at the gage at Rock Creek and Kent Kangley Road is
proposed to be used as a criteria to determine the City’s augmentation of flows in Rock
Creek during certain periods of the year.
This contract will provide for operation, maintenance and data collection at five gages.
Two are located on Mill Creek, one on Springbrook Creek and two on Rock Creek.
Budget Impact: No Budget Impact.
Motion:
Recommend Council authorize the Mayor to sign the Joint Funding Agreement between
the City of Kent and the U.S. Geological Survey upon concurrence of the language
therein by the City Attorney and Public Works Director, for $46,610 for the U.S.
Geological Survey to provide operation, maintenance and data collection at the
Springbrook Creek, Mill Creek and Rock Creek Gaging stations.

PW Committee Meeting Date: September 15, 2008
From: Mike Mactutis, P.E., Environmental Engineering Manager
Through: Larry Blanchard, Public Works Director
Subject: Information Item/Mandatory Garbage Enforcement
Summary:
In April 2007, 2,553 residential properties in the City of Kent were not subscribing to solid
waste service. At that time staff began sending notices to all property owners about the
mandatory service and the need to sign up for service. As a result these notices, 1,340
properties signed up for service. Citizens were notified that if they did not sign up for service
by June 1, 2007, they would be automatically signed up. On June 1, 2007, 1,213 properties
were automatically signed up for service. There has been a decrease in solid waste code
violations in 2008 compared to 2007 and residential recycling has seen a slight increase.
As of July 2008, 522 properties in the City of Kent had solid waste service suspended for
non-payment and or past due accounts. Staff expects to identify additional cases in the
future.
To resolve the issue, staff has prepared a letter notifying residents and property owners that
failure to comply with the mandatory solid waste service requirement is a violation of code
and could result in a fine of up to $500. Residents are strongly encouraged to contact the
City’s solid waste provider to resolve past due accounts. Staff is also using this opportunity
to notify residents of recycling opportunities.
Staff began sending notices to 20 properties per week, starting with the most delinquent
properties in August.
A copy of the letter and attachments is included for your reference.

PW Committee Meeting Date: September 15, 2008
From: Chad Bieren, Engineering Supervisor
Through: Larry Blanchard, Public Works Director
Subject: Safe Walking Routes to School Grant
Summary:
At the February 4, 2008 Public Works Committee meeting we discussed the award of two federal
grants the Kent Police Department received for Safe Walking Routes to School for Daniel and
Horizon Elementary Schools. The focus of the discussion was on Daniel Elementary School and
the fact that the federal grant contributed approximately $600,000 towards sidewalk
improvements that would ultimately cost the City roughly $11-million to construct. The
Committee requested that staff search for other funding sources and ways to fund the project
and report this information back to the Public Works Committee when it becomes available.
To date no other funding sources have been located, and financial resources within the existing
budget are not available. An LID could be formed which would generate approximately
$1,700,000.
Public Works staff contacted the lead grant agency (Washington State Department of Highways
and Local Programs) to discuss redefining how the Safe Walking Routes to School grants can be
spent. There may be the ability to construct an asphalt walking path near Daniel Elementary
School, behind the fog line along the Safe Walking Route outlined in the grant application. This
path would cost significantly less than the sidewalk, curb and gutter proposed in the original
grant. A similar path could be constructed near Horizon Elementary School, but several areas
would require significant funds to complete.
