The meeting was called to order at 4:04 p.m. Item 1 — Approval of Minutes Dated September 12, 2011: Councilmember Harmon MOVED to approve the minutes of September 12, 2011. The motion was SECONDED by Higgins and PASSED 3-0. Item 2— Information Only/Tacoma Water - Update: Deputy Water Superintendent, Tacoma Water, Chris McMeen gave an informative PowerPoint presentation update on the Regional Water Supply Project. Kent is one of the partners in this project, owning roughly 11% 1. Regional Water Supply System Partnership The Regional Water Supply System officially formed a partnership in 2002 with the signing of the Second Supply Partnership Agreement. This connected City of Kent, Covington Water District, Lakehaven Utility District with Tacoma in the development of a very substantial regional resource, the Tacoma Second Supply Project. Tacoma has two water right certificates from the Department of Ecology to divert water from the Green River upstream of Howard Hansen Dam. The "Second" Supply project allows Tacoma to draw water out of the Green River under the later water right. 2. Filtration Project Status A project delivery team is in place and they are using a General Contractor/Construction Manager (Hoffman Construction) project delivery method, which they have found to be very cost effective and useful. 30% design was received on September 161h and they are now entering into the review phase. They will have to improve the power supply which could lengthen the review time to the area which will require a substantial permitting effort from King County. King County does not have a structural engineer on staff. King County has been responsive to Tacoma's needs and recognizes it as a priority project in the region, and its importance to drinking water and regulatory compliance. McMeen shared a couple of slides of the facilities layout. The backwash lagoon location and layout turned out to be critical in the design of this plan. Therefore, that element of the project was not developed in pre-design so they had to come up with some cost effective ways to address it. McMeen stated that we think of a water treatment plant as providing drinking water and that is what it does, but it really is a dirt manufacturing plant. He explained that the mechanical system of squeezing water out of the dirt is a large cost factor because you want to dry out the dirt so you are not hauling away wet dirt. The updated project cost estimate to date is $215,925,289, with Kent's share at $23,741,785 approximately (11%). Regulatory requirements are for the water filtration to be in place by April 2014. However, they have been in discussion with the drinking water regulator, Department of Health and they are open to an extended compliance date as long as the plant is under construction and progressing. 3. Additional Water Storage Project Page 1 of 4 4 PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE Minutes of Monday, September 19, 2011 In order to have meaningful supply they had to establish the additional water storage project. There is a water right that has conditions of stream flow in the river which, under normal conditions, they would never be able to meet. So they developed the storage of additional water behind Howard Hanson Dam, raising the pool an additional 20 feet. This included re-establishing new ecosystems, and re-establishing historic, pre- dam salmon runs. They have established upstream fish passage, an obligation under the Habitat Conservation Plan, but the fish do not have safe downstream passage. The Corps has an obligation under the Endangered Species Act to establish a downstream fish passage. The Corps moved through complete design of this project at a cost of $226 million. They have pulled back from this design and will begin redesigning the project later this year. Once the downstream fish passage is established, the additional water storage project will be complete. Raplee asked if King County is planning to contract with a private company since they do not have a structural engineer on staff. McMeen said King County is looking to either bring a structural engineer on staff or contract for the services. Raplee also asked what happens to the dirt after it is dried, and as an ongoing expense, is this included in the total. McMeen stated that they are looking into taking the dirt to a landfill, and that this expense is not included in the total, only capital costs are shown. The savings with the North Fork system does include trucking costs by comparing both the capital investment and ongoing maintenance and operations. Higgins asked about the fish passage facility and if this partnership is not on the hook for the cost of the facility. McMeen clarified that the partnership is responsible for 1.6%, and Kent is responsible for 11% of the 1.6%. Higgins also asked if the project cost estimate significantly grows, is Kent still committed to 11% and LaPorte said yes. Harmon said the project estimate comes is roughly $16 million over the original $200 million costs and that there are also consultant fees, permits, special inspections and finance costs as noted in the total project cost on note 1 (slide 12). McMeen clarified that note 1 references when the slide was originally prepared, sales tax was included on consultant fees when it should not have been. Consultant fees are included. Regarding the financing costs, LaPorte said that each partner has a different finance package and we are using a Public Works Trust Fund, loan at a very low interest. Information Only/No Motion Required Item 3 United States Geological Survey (USGS) - Joint Funding Agreement: Environmental Engineering Manager, Mike Mactutis, explained that the Joint Funding Agreement for Water Resources Investigations between the City of Kent and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is an annual agreement to maintain monitoring gages that we have on several creek systems in the city and also at our water supply. The gages are funded through the utilities and are used for the Habitat Conservation Plan, to measure precipitation, and stream flow used for future design of projects. Mactutis updated the information provided in the summary stating that the City of Kent will contribute $50,240 to the annual program costs of $95,670 for Fiscal Year 2012. USGS will provide the remainder. Harmon verified that this will be an on-going yearly expense for around $50,000. Page 2 of 4 5 PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE Minutes of Monday, September 19, 2011 Higgins asked how long the city has been partnering with USGS and have we been paying half the costs. Mactutis stated that we have been partnering for about 16 years and typically pay half the costs, however now it is slightly over. USGS needs a local sponsor, so if we stop paying, USGS would need to shut down the operation. Higgins MOVED to recommend Council authorize the Mayor to sign the Joint Funding Agreement for Water Resources Investigations between the City of Kent and the U.S. Geological Survey subject to final terms and conditions acceptable to the City Attorney and Public Works Director. The motion was SECONDED by Harmon and PASSED 3-0. Item 4 - Consultant Contract/AMEC Earth & Environmental, Inc. - 641h Avenue S. Channel Improvements Proiect Environmental Engineer, Joe Fielding gave a brief PowerPoint presentation which provided an update on the S. 2281h Street Improvements project and discussed Phase 2, the 641h Avenue S. Channel Improvements project. Phase 2 consists of replacing six existing undersized pipe culverts with four, larger box culverts at a Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) spur crossing and at the S. 2261h Street crossing to reduce flooding by increasing flow capacity and improving storm water conveyance. Staff is proceeding with design of the project, and working on long lead items, which involve coordination with UPRR and obtaining permits. For design and obtaining permits, two contracts are necessary to perform geotechnical investigation, wetland delineation work and updating the biological assessment report. Harmon asked when S. 2281h Street would be open to the public and Public Works Director, LaPorte said by November I" Higgins asked for clarification that even though the S. 2281h Street Improvements project will be finishing up this year, will it not be functional as a drainage diversion project until phase 2 is complete. LaPorte stated that the project will not have full benefit until the two downstream impediments are removed, but is intended to operate this fall. Harmon MOVED to recommend Council authorize the Mayor to sign a Consultant Services Agreement with AMEC Earth & Environmental, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $19,160.21 to perform geotechnical investigation for the 641h Avenue S. Channel Improvements Project, subject to final terms and conditions acceptable to the City Attorney and the Public Works Director. The motion was SECONDED by Higgins and PASSED 3-0. Item 5 — Consultant Contract/ESA Adolfson, Inc. - 641h Avenue S. Channel Improvements Proiect: See item 4. Higgins verified that the S. 2281h Street Improvements project and the 641h Avenue S. Channel Improvements project are both budgeted through the drainage utility fund. Higgins MOVED to recommend Council authorize the Mayor to sign a Consultant Services Agreement with ESA Adolfson, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $12,995.93 to perform wetland delineation work and update the biological assessment report for the 641h Avenue S. Channel Improvements Project, subject to final terms and Page 3 of 4 6 PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE Minutes of Monday, September 19, 2011 assessment report for the 641h Avenue S. Channel Improvements Project, subject to final terms and conditions acceptable to the City Attorney and the Public Works Director. The motion was SECONDED by Harmon and PASSED 3-0. Item 6 — Revision to KCC 6.06, $75.00 Permit Fee for Sidewalk Drain: City Engineer, Chad Bieren stated that there is a reoccurring issue where water comes off a lot and drains across a sidewalk onto the street and causes slick conditions. Typically this is handled by having a yard drain installed and the drain will come out to the gutter and drain the area directly into the storm drain system. The only way to get a permit now is a street use/cut permit which is $450. We are trying to look for an alternative to reduce costs to $75; just enough to cover a trip out there to make sure it is installed correctly. LaPorte stated that we do not get a lot of requests for this permit type. It is a very straightforward work item; however our permit system is not set up for this. Higgins asked if we have done research on what other cities best practices are and if this is in line with other cities. Bieren said we had not, but we had this type of permit before but the permitting system was streamlined and the permit was eliminated. Now we are trying to add the permit back in. Higgins asked if as an Engineer it doesn't cause any heartache to drain into the gutter rather than straight into the system and Bieren said no, that the water has to go there anyway but we're just helping it get there. Harmon MOVED to recommend Council approve the revision to the Kent City Code 6.06, allowing a reasonable permit cost for sidewalk drains, subject to final terms and conditions acceptable to the City Attorney and the Public Works Director. The motion was SECONDED by Higgins and PASSED 3-0. Item 7 — Sanitary Sewer Service Easement and Covenant - Scoccolo Property: This item was moved to the next meeting. Item 8 — Information Only/Fall Natural Yard Care Workshop Series: Environmental Conservation Technician, Todd Hunsdorfer gave a brief PowerPoint presentation on Natural Yard Care. He explained why Natural Yard Care is important and why Kent is providing workshops. Kent has provided outreach since 2007 and has reached over 20,000 homes. Data collected shows that nearly half of all participants have changed their yard care practices. The upcoming fall workshops will be held Wednesday September 21, 28, and October 5 at Kent Meridian High School Cafeteria from 7:00 to 9:00 PM. Information Only/No Motion Required The meeting was adjourned at 5:05 p.m. Nancy Yoshitake Council Committee Recorder Page 4 of 4 7 PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT Timothy J.

Kent, WA 98032-5895 Date: August 26, 2011 To: Chair Debbie Raplee and Public Works Committee Members Special PW Committee Meeting Date: October 3, 2011 From: Brennan Taylor, Project Engineer Through: Chad Bieren, P.E., City Engineer Subject: Sanitary Sewer Service Easement and Covenant - Scoccolo Property Item — 2 Motion: Move to recommend Council authorize the Mayor to sign the Sanitary Sewer Service Agreement and Covenant with ST Multi 2 L.L.C., subject to final terms and conditions acceptable to the City Attorney and Public Works Director. Summary: Regional homebuilder, Polygon Northwest, formed ST Multi 2 L.L.C. to develop and construct a 465-unit residential development in SeaTac, near the intersection of 42nd Avenue South and Orillia Road. The site is known as the Scoccolo Property. SeaTac does not provide sanitary sewer service in this area, but Kent does. This agreement allows the development to connect to Kent's sanitary sewer system and send wastewater to the METRO trunk line for treatment in Renton. Kent added conditions to the agreement to include provisions related to traffic impacts of the development and stormwater runoff. Traffic mitigation fees were paid into the South 228th Street Extension Project. Stormwater runoff from the site will be treated and detained in a facility constructed by Polygon that was dedicated to the City. Budget Impact: The development was required to pay for its impacts to Kent facilities as a condition for sanitary sewer service. Traffic mitigation fees were used to help pay for the South 228th Street Extension project. Stormwater development fees were paid into the Johnson Creek Mitigation project and stormwater utility. Kent and METRO permit fees were paid to hook up the sanitary sewer line. Homeowners in SeaTac will be billed by Kent for monthly stormwater and sewer utility fees. 8 This page intentionally left blank. 9 After recording, return to: Property Management City of Kent 220 - 4th Avenue South Kent, Washington 98032 Reference Number of Related Document: N/A Grantor(s): ST MULTI 2 LLC Grantee(s): City of Kent Abbreviated Legal Description: Portions of Section 03, Township 22N, Range 4E and Section 10, Township 22 N, Range 4 E.; WM, City of SeaTac, King Co., State of Washington Additional Legal Description: See Exhibit "A" of Document Assessor's Property Tax Parcels or Account No's.: 1022049035, 1022049007, and 0322049025 PROJECT NAME: Scoccolo Property Sanitary Sewer extension SANITARY SEWER SERVICE AGREEMENT AND COVENANT ST MULTI 2 L.L.C., a Washington Limited Liability Company, their heirs, successors and/ or assigns (collectively referred to herein as "Owner") which is owner of certain property fully described below, for and in consideration of the furnishing of sewer utility service to said property by the CITY OF KENT ("City"), a Washington municipal corporation, do hereby agree as follows: Scoccolo Sewer Service Agreement Page 1 of 14 10 1. RECITALS 1.1. Owner is the owner of certain property, known as the Scoccolo Property, located just north of 42nd Avenue South and west of Orillia Road, legally described in Exhibit "A" attached and incorporated by this reference ("Property"). The Property is located outside the corporate limits of the City of Kent and within the corporate limits of the City of SeaTac, King County, Washington. 1.2. Owner has applied for development permit approval(s) from the City of SeaTac on the Property to construct approximately 465 new dwelling units. This approval is conditioned upon a showing of sewer service availability. 1.3. The Owner has requested that the City furnish sanitary sewer services to the Property, which is within the service basin described in the City of Kent Comprehensive Sewer Plan. The City is not, however, the sole purveyor of sewer utility services in the area. 1.4. RCW 35.67.310 authorizes the City to provide utility services to property outside its corporate limits and its potential annexation area under conditions set forth in Section 7.11.020 of the Kent City Code which includes, but is not limited to, requirements that transportation and storm water impacts be mitigated as a condition of providing service. 1.5 This Agreement and Covenant ("Agreement') is expressly provided for by statute and shall not be construed as a voluntary agreement pursuant to RCW 82.02.020 and provisions of RCW 82.02.020 shall not be applied nor shall this Agreement be construed to be for purposes of impact mitigation pursuant to the Washington State Environmental Policy Act or any rules or policies adopted thereunder. 1.6. Owner acknowledges that violation of the terms of this Agreement or upon the invalidation of this Agreement by judicial action, operation of law, or otherwise shall result in the immediate discontinuance of utility service at the sole discretion of the City. 2. MITIGATION OF IMPACTS TO STREET, ROAD AND TRAFFIC SYSTEMS 2.1 The proposed development and use of the Property will generate traffic that will result in increased volumes reducing the available capacity at the intersections of 42nd Avenue South at South 212th Street, 42nd Avenue South at South 216th Street, and South 228th Street at Riverview Boulevard in the City. Scoccolo Sewer Service Agreement Page 2 of 14 11 2.2 A new east-west arterial roadway corridor in the west-central portion of the City (hereinafter referred to as the South 228th Street west-leg Corridor), will provide an alternate route for those persons using South 212th Street/Orillia Road, South 216th Street/37th Place South/40th Place South, and Kent Des Moines Road (SR516) and serve to mitigate the traffic impacts created by the development of the Property. 2.3 Owner agrees to pay a proportionate share of all costs associated with the construction of the South 228th Street west-leg Corridor project. Payments shall be made on the following basis: 2.3.1 The total estimated cost of construction in 2003 dollars is Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000.00). With the City's financial participation plus grants and other agency financial participation, the Owner's proportionate share of construction costs is One Thousand Six Hundred Fifteen Dollars and No/100 ($1,615.00) per dwelling unit in 2003 dollars. The proportionate share shall be reduced by Seven Hundred Seventy Dollars and No/100 ($770.00) per dwelling unit (City of SeaTac Mitigation Fee) which equals Eight Hundred and Forty Five dollars ($845.00) per dwelling unit in 2003 dollars. At the time of payment, the Owner's payment shall be increased or decreased by the percentage change, if any, in the Seattle- Tacoma-Bremerton Consumer Price Index-Urban (CPI-U) as published by the United States Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics for the twelve (12) month period ending on December 31 of the previous year. 2.3.2 Payment shall be due prior to the issuance of a side sewer permit for each building and shall be based on the number of dwelling units per building. For example, if a building contains four dwelling units, the incremental payment in 2003 dollars would be computed as follows: 4 dwelling units x $845.00/dwelling unit = $3,380.00, to be paid prior to the issuance of a side-sewer permit for that building. 2.3.3 Payments shall be made by submission of a certified check or bank check prior to the issuance of a sanitary side-sewer permit for each building by the City. 2.3.4 Payments made by Owner shall be deposited with the City Finance Director in the City's South 228th Street west-leg Corridor project fund for use as necessary to offset the costs of planning, design, right-of-way acquisition, and construction of that project. Interest accruing on these monies shall be the property of the City and shall be deposited with the project fund. Scoccolo Sewer Service Agreement Page 3 of 14 12 3. CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS FOR OWNER'S IMPROVEMENTS AND SUBSEQUENT CONVEYANCE TO CITY 3.1 Owner agrees to design and construct all required sanitary sewer, public street and storm drainage system improvements with related appurtenances to the standards set forth in the City of Kent Construction Standards and/or the City of Kent Surface Water Design Manual, as applicable, in effect at the time of construction, and/or as approved by the Public Works Director and to comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations. The City of Kent acknowledges that those storm improvements to be located on the Property are within the jurisdiction of the City of SeaTac and will be designated and permitted to meet the City of SeaTac standards, which are substantially similar to those of the City of Kent. The City will not unreasonably enforce its standards for storm water control when they are in conflict with the City of SeaTac's standards. The Owner certifies that it has designed the on-site storm pond to meet the Green River Management Agreement, as all surface and subsurface waters from the Property flow to the City of Kent. 3.2 Upon completion of construction by Owner and approval by the City, Owner agrees to convey to the City all required sanitary sewer, public street and storm drainage improvements with related appurtenances along with all associated real property interests necessary for the operation and maintenance of those improvements. Consideration for all conveyances shall be the extension of sewer service to Owner under the terms of this Agreement. All deeds shall be recorded. 4. MITIGATION OF SURFACE AND STORM WATER DRAINAGE IMPACTS 4.1 Owner acknowledges that the development and use of the property will have surface and storm water drainage impacts in the City and agrees that the terms and conditions in this Section 4 serve as Owner's proportionate mitigation. 4.2 Storm water runoff from the Property is designed to be directed to (1) on-site and (1) off-site Surface and Storm Water Facility ("Facility") as shown on "Exhibit B" attached and incorporated by this reference. The on-site Facility will be owned and operated by the Owner, except that the Owner will provide the City with an easement allowing the City access to the Facility for inspection and, if necessary, operation during high flow or large storm events when it is necessary to retard or eliminate discharge from the Facility to mitigate downstream flooding. The City acknowledges that it must be responsible for this single operational task as the Owner will not likely have the expertise to perform analysis or make judgments about downstream flooding, or Scoccolo Sewer Service Agreement Page 4 of 14 13 develop the proper course of action that should be taken to avoid downstream impacts. 4.3 City acknowledges that the off-site Surface and Storm Water Facility will be owned and operated by the City upon its final acceptance, and that upon final acceptance, the Owner will have no operational or maintenance obligations for this Facility, and the Owner's only obligations will be those provided for in Paragraph 4.3.3. regarding damages due to defects in design and construction and those provisions pertaining to the Sewer Bore in paragraph 6. The approval and acceptance of the off-site Facility is subject to the following conditions: 4.3.1 Owner agrees to the commingling of runoff from private and publicly owned real property. 4.3.2 Owner agrees that the City of Kent shall not be under any obligation to maintain the quality of water introduced into the Facility until the completion of Owner's development and final acceptance of the Facility ("Facility") by and conveyance to the City 4.3.3 Owner agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the City for two years from the date of acceptance from any and all claims, demands, actions, injuries, losses, damages, costs or liabilities of any kind or amount whatsoever, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, fixed or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, arising by reason of defects in the design or construction of the Facility. Such damages may include, but will not be limited to: directing the storm water runoff from its current or natural course to the Facility; change in the amount or character of the flow; discharge of any toxic waste, hazardous waste, or other contaminant onto intervening properties or into the Facility by act or omission of Owner; or any enforcement action or third party lawsuit brought against the City under the federal or state Clean Water Acts or the Municipal Phase II National Pollutant Discharge Elimination Act Permit. However, this indemnification shall not apply to Acts of God or catastrophic, naturally occurring events, or final judgments against the City arising out of a determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that monetary damages suffered by a third party were actually and proximately caused by the acts or omissions of the City, its officers, officials, or agents. The provisions of this Paragraph shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement. Scoccolo Sewer Service Agreement Page 5 of 14 14 4.3.4 Upon completion of the development of the Property and acceptance of Facility by the City, the Facility will be conveyed to the City by Bill of Sale and associated real property will be dedicated to the City by statutory warranty deed. 4.3.5 A monthly Storm Water Utility Surcharge ("Surcharge") shall be levied by the City upon the Owner and subsequent owners of each dwelling unit constructed on the Property so long as the Facility is owned and maintained by the City and/or its successors and assigns. The amount of the Surcharge shall be equal to the sub-basin charges paid by real property owners within the City limits who are within the same drainage basin as the Property, as per KCC 7.05.090 as now adopted and as hereinafter amended. The amount of the Surcharge may be appealed only under the procedures set forth in Chapter 7.05.200 of the Kent City Code. Unpaid Surcharges shall be liens against the property pursuant to Chapter 7.01 of the Kent City Code. 4.3.6 Owners agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the City of Kent with regard to all provisions in the Kent City Code as now or hereinafter adopted that regulate or otherwise pertain to discharges to the Facility, including payment by Owners of the drainage systems development charge pursuant to Kent City Code 7.05.165. The City and Owners have determined that the total remaining drainage system development charge due amounts to Sixteen Thousand Five Hundred Twenty-one and 32/100 dollars ($16,521.32) as shown on the "Scoccolo System Development Charge Calculations" sheet attached and incorporated as "Exhibit C." Owners shall pay this remaining amount within ten (10) calendar days from the effective date of this Agreement. 5. CONSTRUCTION OF SANITARY SEWER AND RELATED APPURTANCES. 5.1 Owner agrees to construct those public sanitary sewer and related appurtenances ("Improvements") necessary to serve the Property to the standards set forth in the City of Kent Construction Standards and/or the Kent City Code, as applicable, in effect at the time of submittal of complete development engineering application(s) and/or as approved by the Public Works Director and to comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations. 5.2 Owner agrees that the construction of the Improvements will not begin until the City of Kent Public Works Department has approved the related construction plans. Scoccolo Sewer Service Agreement Page 6 of 14 15 5.3 The right is reserved to the City of Kent Public Works Department to inspect the Improvements for compliance with the standards described Section 3. The City will report noncompliance to the City of SeaTac and sanitary sewer service will not be provided until the Improvements are brought into compliance. 5.4 Upon final approval of construction by the City, Owner shall convey all Improvements by Bill of Sale and all associated real property interests to the City by statutory warranty deed; provided, however, that Owner and subsequent owners of dwelling units will retain ownership of side sewers. Thereafter, Owner and subsequent owners of the dwelling units will be responsible to the City for sewer connection fees and utility service charges and fees per Chapter 7.04 of the Kent City Code as now adopted or later amended. 6. SEWER BORE MAINTAINENCE PROVISIONS 6.1 Owner agrees that as a condition of the City's final acceptance of the sanitary sewer system, Owner shall construct a portion of the system known as the Sanitary Sewer Bore ("Bore"). The Bore is composed of approximately 800 lineal feet of 12" diameter HDPE pipe, which pipe has a "belly" of approximately 1-1/8" located approximately 240 feet downstream from the up-hill origin of the Bore. The City will perform yearly maintenance, which may include inspection, flushing, and cleaning of the Bore, if necessary, to ensure that solids and debris do not collect in the Bore. Yearly maintenance shall not include damage to the Bore from natural causes or acts of God. 6.2 Owner shall be responsible for payment of all costs of yearly Bore maintenance, in advance each year, on or before January 30. The estimated cost to perform maintenance in 2009 dollars is $1,500. The City shall provide the Owner with receipts indicating the time and materials expended to perform the maintenance within 30 days of City performing maintenance of the Bore. 6.3 The Owner's responsibility for continued payment of Bore maintenance shall be (a) terminated if, after the first five years of operation and inspection, no collection of solids or debris is detected by the City in its performance of the maintenance, or (b) adjusted to reflect a bi-yearly or longer maintenance interval if the results of the first five years of inspection indicate that a longer interval of maintenance can be instituted. 6.4 The Owner shall provide the City with a separate bond (or other form of security acceptable to the City) to secure Owner's payment of the Scoccolo Sewer Service Agreement Page 7 of 14 16 costs of yearly maintenance of the Bore in the amount of $5,000. The term of this bond shall be two years. Prior to expiration of this first maintenance bond, the Owner shall provide the City with a second two year maintenance bond in the amount of $5,000. Upon expiration of this second maintenance bond, the Owner shall be released from further bonding requirements, but not from the Owner's obligation to continue payment of yearly maintenance costs, subject to the provisions of this Agreement. 7. SATISFACTION OF CONDITIONS - REMEDIES 7.1 Owner's failure to comply with the mitigation terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, as determined solely by the City, shall result in denial or discontinuance of sanitary sewer service to the Property. 7.2 If, by reason of any default or breach on the part of either party in the performance of any of the provisions of this Agreement, a legal action is instituted, each party shall be responsible for its own costs and fees. 7.3 Venue of any legal action brought under the terms of this Agreement shall be King County, Washington. This Agreement shall be governed by the applicable laws, rules, and regulations of the State of Washington and the City of Kent. S. COVENANT TO RUN WITH LAND This Agreement and Covenant shall run with the land in perpetuity and shall be binding upon all parties having or acquiring any right, title, or interest in the Property described herein or any part thereof. 9. MISCELLANEOUS 9.1 Any notice or demand required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be sufficient to be given in writing and if sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the address of the parties set forth below. Any party may give notice in the manner provided in this paragraph to the other parties of a change of address.

Kent, WA 98032-5895 Date: September 14, 2011 To: Chair Debbie Raplee and Public Works Committee Members PW Committee Meeting Date: October 3, 2011 From: Peter Tenerelli, Construction Manager Through: Chad Bieren, P.E., City Engineer Subject: Contract Amendment /South 228th Street Improvements - Materials Testing and Inspection Services Item - 3 Motion: Move to recommend Council authorize the Mayor to sign an amendment to an existing consultant contract with Jason Engineering and Consultant Business, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $22,950.00 for the purpose of providing materials testing and inspection services related to the South 228th Street Improvements project, subject to final terms and conditions acceptable to the City Attorney and Public Works Director. Summary: Public Works Engineering contracted with Jason Engineering and Consulting Business, Inc. to provide materials testing and inspection services for extensive underground utility construction including a new water main and six foot diameter reinforced concrete storm water by-pass system to help alleviate the flooding of surface streets during periods of heavy rainfall. The materials used to bed the pipe and other utilities are tested to insure they meet specifications and that trench backfill material is compacted to the required density to support the new concrete or asphalt roadway surfaces. This materials analysis and density testing requires a laboratory with certified equipment that the City does not own. At the time of the initial consultant contract, it was contemplated that an amendment such as this would be required as some of the restoration work would be completed in year 2012. However, the magnitude of the contractor's effort to complete this project within the short time constraint has lead to significantly higher inspection costs in 2011; thus, this amendment is required sooner than originally thought. The original contract amount was $64,095.00. The amendment will bring the total contract amount to $87,045.00. Budget Impact: The costs were anticipated and are funded from the Drainage Fund. 24 This page intentionally left blank. 25 ILL`1" AMENDMENT NO.

LaPorte, P.E., Public Works Director Subject: Information Only/King County Solid Waste Disposal Rate Increase Item - 5 Motion: Information Only/No Motion Required Summary: On September 12, the King County Council approved a one-year disposal rate (tipping fee) increase from $95 to $109 per ton at the Cedar Hills Landfill, effective January 1, 2012. The rate increase supports the 2012 Solid Waste budget that was submitted to the King County Council by King County Solid Waste. Kent is a participant in this increase through the current inter-local agreement with King County Solid Waste and adoption of the Solid Waste Management Plan. The last rate increase was in 2008. The new rate is limited to one year to provide the County and local municipalities the opportunity to renegotiate inter-local agreements which would include financing the capital improvement program in the Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan. A multi-year rate will be proposed mid-2012 for 2013 and beyond based on the changes to inter-local agreements. The County continues to search for cost savings and efficiencies resulting from changes in the waste stream and the impacts these changes have made on proposed capital improvement projects. The County's disposal rate is billed to city customers through the solid waste contractor, Allied Waste, consistent with the terms of our contract. Kent's solid waste rates include a collection component and a disposal component. This increase will impact the disposal portion of the rate. Pursuant to the contract with Allied Waste, the collection component is adjusted annually in April based on indices from the previous year. Staff is in the process of working with the King County Solid Waste Division and Allied Waste on a program to inform customers of the coming rate increase which will be effective January, 2012. Budget Impact: This rate increase was anticipated and there is no budget impact. 32 This page intentionally left blank. 33 PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT Timothy J.

LaPorte, P.E., Public Works Director Subject: Information Only/Clark Springs Water Supply System - Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) Item - 6 Motion: Information Only/No Motion Required Summary: In 2001, Kent City Council directed staff to negotiate a Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) for the Clark Springs Water Supply System with the US Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service (Services). An HCP enables the City of Kent to secure Incidental Take Permits from the Services and allows incidental take to species otherwise prohibited by the Endangered Species Act so long as the City meets performance criteria called for in the HCP. The HCP identifies specific mitigation measures to benefit species listed in the HCP. In September 2011, the City received approval of the HCP through the issuance of the Incidental Take Permits from the Services and final signatures on the Implementing Agreement. The Implementing Agreement allows the City to continue to utilize the Clarks Springs Water Supply Source and requires the implementation of specific mitigation measures to benefit fisheries species. The Incidental Take Permits are valid for 50 years and expire in September 2061. Securing approval of the HCP and the Incidental Take Permits provides long term protection of the City's most important municipal water source from the federal Endangered Species Act. Clark Springs provides up to 60% of the City's water supply depending on the time of year. Budget Impact: Previously budgeted in our Water Capital fund. 34 This page intentionally left blank. 35 PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT Timothy J.

LaPorte, P.E., Public Works Director Subject: Information Only/Lake Meridian Outlet Project - Update Item - 7 Motion: Information Item/No Motion Required Summary: The final phase of the Lake Meridian Outlet Project will be substantially complete by the end of October 2011. Some of the remaining work includes planting of the new channel and wetland areas which is expected to be complete by early 2012. The completion of this project is the culmination of over 12 years of effort, beginning with a feasibility study completed by the US Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) in 1999. Lake Meridian Outlet is a partnership project with the Corps and is part of the Corps' Green Duwamish Ecosystem Restoration Program, which was authorized through the federal Water Resources Development Act. Some of the project benefits include: • A new outlet structure to control flows from the lake, which will better regulate flows during the winter wet season and dry summer months • A new pedestrian bridge that spans the lake outlet, which replaced a low wooden footbridge that was subject to high water impacts • Creation of approximately 2500 LF of new stream channel for fish habitat, which will receive flows from the lake and connect easterly to Big Soos Creek • Extensive native plantings along the new channel including the placement of large woody debris and stream bed gravels for fish habitat • Enhancement of approximately three acres of wetlands along 152nd Avenue S to improve water quality and provide flood protection Completion of the Lake Meridian Outlet will reduce flooding downstream of Lake Meridian and help to control lake levels..
