PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE MINUTES July 6, 2009 Page 1 of 3 U:\PWCommittee\Minutes\PWMinutes 07 06 09.doc COMMITTEE MEMBERS PRESENT: Councilmember Tim Clark sat in for Committee Chair Deborah Ranniger who had an excused absence; Ron Harmon and Debbie Raplee were present. The meeting was called to order at 5:00p.m. ITEM 1- Approval of Minutes Dated June 23, 2009 Committee Member Raplee moved to approve the minutes of June 23, 2009. The motion was seconded by Harmon and passed 3-0. ITEM 2 –Information Only/Recycling Relay: Conservation Specialist, Gina Hungerford stated that King County Solid Waste Division is sponsoring a media event on Tuesday, July 14, from 10:30–11:30 a.m. in the city of Kent, as part of its “Recycle More. It’s Easy to Do” public education campaign. Local TV stations have been invited to film the “Neighborhood Recycling Relay” which will take place in the White Horse Crossing neighborhood. Local resident Margaret Reid recruited three teams of friends and neighbors to participate in this fun event. This even will help educate citizens in the City and the region and helps to meet the City Councils strategic goal to “Implement Conservation and Efficiency for Environmental Sustainability.” The event will be located in the White Horse Crossing neighborhoods located at: 25429 126th Avenue SE, Kent. Signs will be posted in the neighborhood as to the actual location. Information Only No Motion Required ITEM 3–Amdendment No. 1 to Consultant Services Agreement between the City of Kent and Fehr and Peers, Inc. for the Transportation Master Plan Phase 2: Senior Transportation Planner, Cathy Mooney said that staff had hoped to wrap up the Transportation Master Plan by December 2009. She asked the committee to extend the completion date through March 31, 2010. Additional analysis required to evaluate the Transportation Impact Fees required an additional $50,000 to complete this work. Mooney stated they had hoped to utilize staff for traffic counts, but have to use consultants to perform the work once again therefore increasing the cost. She went on to explained that under the Transportation Master Plan Phase 2 Scope of Work, staff and consultants have begun working on revising the City’s Concurrency Ordinance; prioritized the bicycle system projects which were identified in the TMP; prioritized the sidewalk system projects which were identified in the TMP; prioritized the ADA compliance needs for curb ramp replacements and new installations citywide; have begun developing a process to incorporate the Operations Maintenance costs into the City’s annual funding program; review the street, bicycle, sidewalk and streetlight design standards to name a few. These tasks have required a more detailed review by staff, consultants, and council and will take longer than expected requiring the need to extend both the funding and the completion date. ADDED ITEM Mel Roberts, Kent Bicycle Advisory Board (KBAB) asked for another opportunity to relook at the bicycle project list which they helped prioritize in 2008. After some discussion it was decided that staff would make sure that all of the prioritization criteria would be posted on the City’s website as soon as possible. Harmon moved to recommend authorization for the Mayor to sign Amendment No. 1 to the Consultant Services Agreement between the City of Kent and Fehr & Peers, Inc. in the amount of $116,400 for completion of work on the Transportation Master Plan Phase 2, upon concurrence of the language therein by the City Attorney and the Public Works Director. The motion was seconded by Raplee and passed 3-0. 1 PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE MINUTES July 6, 2009 Page 2 of 3 U:\PWCommittee\Minutes\PWMinutes 07 06 09.doc ITEM 4 –Interlocal Agreement Relating to the Transfer of Multiple County Owned Parcels: Developmental Engineering Manager, Mike Gillespie noted that the properties being discussed have been maintained by the City since the various annexations. King County will transfer to the City all drainage facilities and drainage interests in exhibits A and B of the Interlocal agreement. These ownerships are within the municipal boundaries of the City but were not transferred through past annexations. Properties being transferred will be managed under the City’s surface water management program. Harmon moved to authorize the Mayor to sign the Interlocal Agreement between King County and the City of Kent relating to the transfer of multiple County owned drainage parcels and easements rights to the City of Kent. The motion was seconded by Raplee and passed 3-0. ITEM 5 – Green River Levee Status: Public Works Director, Larry Blanchard gave a brief update on the Howard Hanson Dam planning group. Environmental Engineering Manager, Mike Mactutis went on to note that the Howard Hanson Dam controls the storm water runoff from the Upper Green River Watershed, an area 220 square miles in size, and protects the valley area of the City of Kent through its control of the flows in the Green River. During the storm even in January, 2009, there was excessive seepage through the right abutment of the dam. The US Army Corps of Engineers is working to determine the path of that seepage. A bond sale was recommended for approval by the Public Works Committee on June 1, 2009 and the Operations Committee on June 2, 2009 and this bond sale included $1,500,000 to be used for temporary flood protection from the Green River. However, due to the length of timing of the process of the bond sale, the funding will not be available until late in the summer of 2009. In order to begin purchasing the large quantities of flood protection materials which will be needed along the Green River Levees this winter, the Public Works Department is requesting approval to begin purchasing water-filled flood protection structures in advance of the bond funding being available in City accounts. Blanchard asked that this item be brought to Council on July 7, 2009 under other business. Harmon moved to authorize the Public Works Director to execute a contract to purchase water-filled flood protection structures to be used to protect the City of Kent from flood threats up to a maximum of $1,500,000. The motion was seconded by Raplee and passed 3-0 ITEM 6 – South 259th Street Raising – Contract with Northwest Hydraulic Consultants, Inc. to Prepare a Conditional Letter of Map Revision: Environmental Engineering Manager, Mike Mactutis stated that the goal of the South 259th Street Raising Project is to improve flood protection in the valley and remove about one-third of the valley from the proposed FEMA floodplain. The proposed contract with Northwest Hydraulic Consultants, Inc is to create a hydraulic model to assess the effectiveness of the South 259th Street Raising Project. The maps and report from this model are required to obtain a FEMA Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR). The CLOMR will provide that the protection provided by the South 259th Street Levee will be sufficient so that, once the project has been completed; a revision to the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map can occur to remove those protected areas of the Flood Insurance Rate Maps. The cost of this study is $35,004.00. Mactutis showed a brief PowerPoint presentation. 2 PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE MINUTES July 6, 2009 Page 3 of 3 U:\PWCommittee\Minutes\PWMinutes 07 06 09.doc Raplee moved to recommend authorizing the Mayor to sign a contract with Northwest Hydraulic Consultants, Inc. to perform technical work required to obtain a Conditional Letter of Map Revision for the South 259th Street Raising project, upon concurrence of the language therein by the Public Works Director and City Attorney. The motion was seconded by Harmon and passed 3-0 ITEM 7 – Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) 2010 – 2015 Multimodal: Public Works Director, Larry Blanchard said that one of the concerns that came up was that we make sure that another east/west location for bicycles. Councilmember Clark discussed was the Willis street project be identified as a grade separation project. Looking at going under or over both the UPRR and BNRR we want to make sure all options are kept open to us therefore we included them in our 2010 – 2015 TIP instead of having separate resolutions. 2010-2015 plan will come before the committee on the 20th of July. No Motion Required Information Only Added Item: Mel Roberts, Kent Bicycle Advisory Board (KBAB) talked south end of Benson 104th & 265th where new pedestrian crosswalk has been installed. Roberts’s push button does not give a tactical response that the button was activated. The signal lacks an auditory signal for the visually impaired. Robert’s let everyone know that the STP bicycle ride will begin in Kent on Saturday morning between 6:00-8:00 a.m. The route starts at REI Headquarters off of West Valley Highway and 228th. Adjourned: The meeting was adjourned at 6:18 p.m. Next Scheduled Meeting: Tuesday, July 20, 2009 at 5:00 pm Cheryl Viseth Administrative Assistant 3 This page intentionally left blank. 4 PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT WORKS DEPARTMENT Larry R.

Summary: Summary: The Draft 2010-2015 Six Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) has 39 projects for a combined $591,356,100. Identifying these projects in our Six Year TIP allows the City to look for funding partners and apply for grants on each to see if these projects will be feasible. The Draft 2010-2015 Six Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) has 39 projects for a combined $591,356,100. Identifying these projects in our Six Year TIP allows the City to look for funding partners and apply for grants on each to see if these projects will be feasible. The Draft 2010-2015 Six Year TIP has no new projects but does include increases in construction costs, inflation and modifications to scopes of work. This year’s Program also describes four ongoing citywide programs (#31-#34) which are high priorities for residents and businesses, some of which are required by state law, but which have not been funded in recent years. Itemizing them in the Six Year TIP clarifies the needs and costs associated with these ongoing transportation tasks.

The Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a short-range planning document that is annually updated based on needs and policies identified through a variety of sources. Project and financial development involve interactions with many groups and agencies at the local, regional, state and federal levels. It represents Kent’s current list of needed projects that may begin work in the next six years. The document also identifies secured or reasonably expected revenue sources for each of the projects included in the TIP. Typically, projects listed in the first three years of the document are shown as having secured funding or there are reasonable expectations to acquire those funds, while projects in the last three years can be partially funded and be seeking funding partners. All projects are consistent with the City’s adopted 2004 Comprehensive Plan. Mandated by State Law State law requires that each city develop a local TIP and that it be updated annually (RCW 35.77.010). In order for cities to compete for transportation funding grants from Federal and State sources most granting agencies require that projects be included in the TIP. Summary The 2010 Six Year TIP contains no substantive changes from last year’s Program. All projects and programs have been reviewed for adjustments in scope and budget. Once adopted, the TIP helps to guide funding and implementation priorities during the development of the transportation portion of the city’s Six-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The Ongoing Citywide Programs section now includes programs which have been shown in the City’s Capital Improvement Program but not previously in the TIP. There are no new capital projects in this TIP. 11 iv CITY OF KENT SIX YEAR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM 2010-2015 Project Number Project Name Project Location and Extent 1.

The project includes the construction of a new traffic signal at the intersection of Smith and Lincoln as well as the reconstruction of existing curb, gutter and sidewalks along Smith Street/Lincoln Avenue. PROJECT COST: Preliminary Engineering .................$105,000 Right of Way Acquisition ...............$400,000 Construction ................................$1,600,000 TOTAL........................................$2,105,000 FUNDING SOURCE(S): STP, City of Kent PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: This project will improve traffic flow within the Kent Urban Center and improve access to the Kent Transit Center and the downtown business district. The left turn pocket and signal at Smith and Lincoln Streets will facilitate the redevelopment of a portion of King County Metro Transit’s Park and Ride Lot. 17 AIP - Arterial Improvement Program [State]; CMAQ – Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality [Federal]; FAST – Freight Action Strategy for Everett-Seattle-Tacoma Corridor; FMSIB – Freight Mobility Strategic Investment Board [State], FTA – Federal Transit Administration [Federal]; HES – Hazard Elimination [Federal], ITS – Intelligent Transportation Systems [Federal]; LID –Local Improvement District; PWTF – Public Works Trust Fund Loan [State]; STP – Surface Transportation Program [Federal]; TIA – Transportation Improvement Account; TIB – Transportation Improvement Board [State]; TPP—Transportation Partnership Program [State] 4 CITY OF KENT SIX YEAR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM YEAR: 2010 PROJECT #4: 72nd Avenue South Extension South 200th Street to South 196th Street DESCRIPTION: Construct a new four-lane roadway from South 200th Street to South 196th Street. The project will include the crossing of Mill Creek and construction of full-width paving; concrete curbs, gutters, sidewalks, street lighting, storm drainage, landscaping, utilities and appurtenances. PROJECT COST: Preliminary Engineering .................$250,000 Right of Way Acquisition ..........................$0 Construction ................................$1,000,000 TOTAL........................................$1,250,000 FUNDING SOURCE(S): City of Kent PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: Continued development in the northern Kent industrial area, and high levels of congestion along West Valley Highway between the South 180th Street and South 196th Street corridors, mandate additional north-south arterial capacity. This project provides some relief for South 180th Street, South 196th Street, and South 212th Street intersections along West Valley Highway. It also provides improved access to the South 196th Street corridor from industrial development along 72nd Avenue South by constructing the missing link between South 200th Street and South 196th Street. 18 AIP - Arterial Improvement Program [State]; CMAQ – Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality [Federal]; FAST – Freight Action Strategy for Everett-Seattle-Tacoma Corridor; FMSIB – Freight Mobility Strategic Investment Board [State], FTA – Federal Transit Administration [Federal]; HES – Hazard Elimination [Federal], ITS – Intelligent Transportation Systems [Federal]; LID –Local Improvement District; PWTF – Public Works Trust Fund Loan [State]; STP – Surface Transportation Program [Federal]; TIA – Transportation Improvement Account; TIB – Transportation Improvement Board [State]; TPP—Transportation Partnership Program [State] 5 CITY OF KENT SIX YEAR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM YEAR: 2010 PROJECT #5: Southeast 256th Street Widening, Phase II SR 516 (Kent Kangley Road) to 116th Avenue Southeast DESCRIPTION: Construct a three lane roadway from SR 516 (Kent Kangley Road) to 116th Avenue SE. This project includes bike lanes on both sides of the roadway. The project will include construction of full-width paving; concrete curbs, gutters, and sidewalks; street lighting; storm drainage; landscaping; utilities; and appurtenances. PROJECT COST: Preliminary Engineering ..............$1,000,000 Right of Way Acquisition ............$1,500,000 Construction ................................$4,500,000 TOTAL........................................$7,000,000 FUNDING SOURCE(S): City of Kent, Local Improvement District, TIB PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: Southeast 256th Street is a two-lane roadway with no curbs, gutters or sidewalks and a limited street light system. During peak hours, the roadway cannot accommodate the traffic volumes due to the large number of vehicles blocking the roadway while waiting to turn left into driveways. The widening of Southeast 256th Street also alleviates traffic on SR 516 (Kent Kangley Road) as the two roads essentially run parallel to each other. The project will increase the capacity of this roadway by adding new general purpose lanes and a center two-way left turn lane. This project will connect the SR 515/SR 516 intersection with the improvements already existing on Southeast 256th Street east of 116th Avenue Southeast and the improvements along 116th Avenue Southeast between Southeast 256th Street and Kent Kangley Road. 19 AIP - Arterial Improvement Program [State]; CMAQ – Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality [Federal]; FAST – Freight Action Strategy for Everett-Seattle-Tacoma Corridor; FMSIB – Freight Mobility Strategic Investment Board [State], FTA – Federal Transit Administration [Federal]; HES – Hazard Elimination [Federal], ITS – Intelligent Transportation Systems [Federal]; LID –Local Improvement District; PWTF – Public Works Trust Fund Loan [State]; STP – Surface Transportation Program [Federal]; TIA – Transportation Improvement Account; TIB – Transportation Improvement Board [State]; TPP—Transportation Partnership Program [State] 6 CITY OF KENT SIX YEAR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM YEAR: 2010 PROJECT #6: South 228th Street Pavement Rehabilitation Lakeside Boulevard to 72nd Avenue South DESCRIPTION: This project will consist of rehabilitating the existing roadway by grinding rough areas, reconstructing failing areas and providing a full width overlay of South 228th Street between Lakeside Boulevard and 72nd Avenue South. PROJECT COST: Preliminary Engineering ...................$50,000 Right of Way Acquisition ..........................$0 Construction ...................................$700,000 TOTAL...........................................$750,000 FUNDING SOURCE(S): City of Kent PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: This road lies in the heart of the City’s manufacturing area. Heavy truck traffic means pavement condition on South 228th Street has deteriorated significantly. Kent is the second largest warehouse/distribution center on the west coast with over 40 million square feet of industrial space. With the completion of major portions of the 228th corridor and the anticipated increase in the number of daily truck trips, the pavement will continue to deteriorate at an accelerated rate. This project will maintain a major freight corridor to the ports and protect the City’s investment in transportation infrastructure. 20 AIP - Arterial Improvement Program [State]; CMAQ – Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality [Federal]; FAST – Freight Action Strategy for Everett-Seattle-Tacoma Corridor; FMSIB – Freight Mobility Strategic Investment Board [State], FTA – Federal Transit Administration [Federal]; HES – Hazard Elimination [Federal], ITS – Intelligent Transportation Systems [Federal]; LID –Local Improvement District; PWTF – Public Works Trust Fund Loan [State]; STP – Surface Transportation Program [Federal]; TIA – Transportation Improvement Account; TIB – Transportation Improvement Board [State]; TPP—Transportation Partnership Program [State] 7 CITY OF KENT SIX YEAR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM YEAR: 2010 PROJECT #7: 108th Avenue Southeast Extension Southeast Kent Kangley Road (SR 516) to Southeast 256th Street DESCRIPTION: Construct a new three lane roadway from Southeast Kent Kangley Road (SR 516) to Southeast 256th Street including rebuilding the traffic signals at the intersection of Southeast Kent Kangley Road and 108th Avenue Southeast and installing a new traffic signal at the intersection of Southeast 256th Street and 109th Avenue Southeast. The project includes right turn lanes northbound on 109th at Southeast 256th Street and Southbound on 109th at Kent Kangley Road. The project will also include construction of full width paving; concrete curbs, gutters and sidewalks; ‘Sharrows’ (if approved by FHWA); street lighting; storm drainage; landscaping; utilities and appurtenances. As part of this project, the eastbound left-turn lane from Kent Kangley Road to Southeast 256th Street will be eliminated. PROJECT COST: Preliminary Engineering .................$200,000 Right of Way Acquisition ............$1,700,000 Construction ................................$1,500,000 TOTAL........................................$3,400,000 FUNDING SOURCE(S): City of Kent PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: This project will relieve congestion at the Y intersection of 104th Avenue Southeast (Benson Highway) (SR 515)/Kent Kangley Road (SR 516)/Southeast 256th Street by improving the traffic flow along SR 516. It will eliminate the left turn pocket from SR 516 to Southeast 256th Street and redirect that traffic along SR 516 to 108th Avenue Southeast. There will be a new left turn pocket constructed for motorists wishing to travel north on 108th Avenue Southeast to Southeast 256th Street. By moving these left turning movements further to the east, away from the congested Y intersection, all directions of traffic will be able to flow more efficiently.

Routes 914/916 serve the Kent Transit Center, Regional Justice Center, Kent City Hall, Green River Community College’s Kent campus, and local shopping and medical facilities. The Route 918 shuttle connects the City’s manufacturing/industrial center with the regional bus and commuter train services at the Kent Transit Center. PROJECT COST: Preliminary Engineering ............................$0 Right of Way Acquisition ..........................$0 Construction ...................................$252,000 TOTAL...........................................$252,000 FUNDING SOURCE(S): City of Kent, CMAQ, King County, ITS PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: Routes 914/916 provide mobility and independence to many of the city’s seniors and reduce the need for expensive ACCESS service for many wheelchair-lift service trips. Community circulating shuttles encourage the participation of all ages, all economic groups, all physical abilities, and virtually all of our community in everyday civic life without the isolation and pollution of the automobile for every trip. Commuter shuttles enhance the regional transit/train service by providing the vital link from the home to the Transit Center and from the Transit Center to the workplace, encouraging people to leave their vehicles at home, avoiding the cold start impacts to air quality and reducing congestion on local streets. 52 AIP - Arterial Improvement Program [State]; CMAQ – Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality [Federal]; FAST – Freight Action Strategy for Everett-Seattle-Tacoma Corridor; FMSIB – Freight Mobility Strategic Investment Board [State], FTA – Federal Transit Administration [Federal]; HES – Hazard Elimination [Federal], ITS – Intelligent Transportation Systems [Federal]; LID –Local Improvement District; PWTF – Public Works Trust Fund Loan [State]; STP – Surface Transportation Program [Federal]; TIA – Transportation Improvement Account; TIB – Transportation Improvement Board [State]; TPP—Transportation Partnership Program [State] 39 CITY OF KENT SIX YEAR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM YEAR: 2010 - 2015 PROJECT #39: Transit Now Service Partnership Program Ongoing Citywide Program DESCRIPTION: Transit Now is a voter-approved King County Metro Transit program which provides incentives for local jurisdictions to improve local transit operations by entering into a direct financial partnership with Metro for providing that additional service. Metro will match a partner’s contribution on a 2:1 basis. Transit Now requires a minimum contribution from the partner of $100,000 per year for five (5) years to add service on an existing route or $200,000 per year for five (5) years to add a new route. Kent was successful on two proposals, one to add new daily shuttle service through The Lakes and Riverview communities to the Kent Transit Center, and one to increased frequencies on the Route 153 between Kent and Renton. PROJECT COST: Preliminary Engineering ..............$2,000,000 Right of Way Acquisition ..........................$0 Construction ..............................................$0 TOTAL........................................$2,000,000 FUNDING SOURCE(S): City of Kent, King County, Commute Trip Reduction Program (CTR) Employers PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: Transit service (bus & train) between Kent and downtown Seattle is generally competitive with automobile driving during the commute hours. Transit service within Kent and between Kent and its neighboring jurisdictions has serious deficiencies. Due to low frequency, transit is simply not a viable option for travelers who need to make a trip during the midday, commuters working non-traditional shifts, and peak hour commuters who are concerned that there is no safety net service should they need to travel during the midday. These partnership proposals allow us to buy our way into providing additional service to our community that we would not otherwise be able to obtain. 53 CITY OF KENT, WASHINGTON SIX-YEAR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM 2010 - 2015 For more information or additional copies of this document contact: Steve Mullen, Transportation Engineering Manager City of Kent, Public Works, Engineering 220 Fourth Avenue South Kent, WA 98032-5895 (253) 856-5585 smullen@ci.kent.wa.us 54 PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT Larry R.

An important part of the project is to select, design and build a treatment process which will allow Tacoma and the partners in the project to fully meet the requirements of the Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule. The treatment facility must be completed and online by 2014, or compliance action will likely be initiated by DOH/EPA. Pilot testing has been set up and is operated by Tacoma staff to collect water quality data and to determine optimum water treatment procedures and parameters. A workgroup representing all of the partners and the consultant (HDR Consulting) has begun meeting to determine the optimal treatment process to be designed and constructed based on a number of selection criteria.
