PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE
Minutes of Monday, August 6, 2012
COMMITTEE MEMBERS PRESENT:
Committee Chair Elizabeth Albertson and Committee members Dana Ralph were
present. Dennis Higgins was absent. The meeting was called to order at 4:06 p.m.
Committee Chair Albertson noted that she had Committee member Higgins
concurrence on all action items.
Item 1 — Approval of Meeting Minutes Dated July 23, 2012:
Ralph MOVED to approve the minutes of July 23, 2012. The motion was
SECONDED by Albertson and PASSED 3-0, with Higgins' concurrence.
Item 2 — Consultant Services Agreement/Jason Engineering — Materials
Testing, Horseshoe Bend Levee:
Construction Supervisor, Paul Kuehne explained that Public Works Engineering is
contracting to construct a new levee along the Green River, east and west of Central
Avenue South on South 259th Street. Work will involve the installation of steel sheet
pile walls beneath a steel reinforced concrete flood wall. There will also be additional
work which involves levee backfill material, concrete block retaining walls, new
drainage facilities, a unique removable stop-log wall at apartment driveways, along
with asphalt pavement and planting restoration. Kuehne further noted that services
provided by Jason Engineering are unique and will be needed periodically for testing
materials to insure they meet specifications and that excavation restoration and levee
construction materials are compacted to the required density and moisture content.
Materials analysis requires a laboratory with certified testing equipment that the City
does not own. Jason Engineering and Consulting Business, Inc., a City of Kent
business enterprise, has the required expertise.
Ralph MOVED to recommend Council authorize the Mayor to sign a Consultant
Services Agreement with Jason Engineering and Consulting Business, Inc., in
an amount not to exceed $22,660.00 for materials testing and inspection
services related to the Horseshoe Bend Phase II Levee Improvements,
subject to final terms and conditions acceptable to the City Attorney and
Public Works Director. The motion was SECONDED by Albertson and PASSED
3-0, with Higgins' concurrence.
Item 3 — Agreement/Medina Fund One LLC - South 228th Street Union Pacific
Railroad Grade Separation Proiect:
Public Works Director, Tim LaPorte noted that the City has been coordinating for some
time with two property owners along South 228th adjacent to the future Union Pacific
(UP) Grade Separation project; coordination includes working with property owners to
ensure that any redevelopment of adjacent properties will accommodate our future
corridor project. Over the past year Public Works staff has been working with Medina
One Fund LLC to purchase property and mitigate driveway access issues that would be

a result of the road raising; this agreement will close off the easterly driveway and pay
to complete improvements to the property that will make way for the 228th/UP project.
Ralph MOVED to recommend Council authorize the Public Works Director to
sign the South 228th Street Overpass Agreement with Medina One LLC, subject
to final terms and conditions acceptable to the City Attorney and Public Works
Director. The motion was SECONDED by Albertson and PASSED 3-0, with
Higgins' concurrence.
Item 4 — Information Only/Cross Connection Program:
Environmental Conservation Supervisor, Kelly Peterson and Cross Connection Control
Inspector John Sizemore gave an informative PowerPoint Presentation explaining the
purpose of the Cross Control Connection Program.
Peterson stated that formal cross connection requirements have been adopted into
Kent City Code to meet state law. Codes are designed to protect the health of
consumers receiving water from the City. Sizemore showed several photographs that
depicted the benefit of a Cross Control Program, one example was an embalming
station hooked up to a sink. Sizemore noted that there are 14,000 cross connections
and 3,000 back flow assemblies in Kent; two inspectors and two temporary employees
run the program. Back flow protection assemblies are required to be tested annually
by a certified back flow assembly tester. Owners hire qualified contractors to complete
the tests and submit annual reports to the City.
A Water Use Survey is used to identify the highest potential hazards and prioritize
required inspections. Through the inspection process, some businesses may be
required to install devices that protect the municipal supply from domestic water
supply lines and/or dedicated fire lines. Properties with more than one domestic water
supply connection or business may be required to have multiple devices to protect the
municipal water supply.
No Motion Required/Information Only
Item 5 — Information Only/Giant Sandbag Removal — Update:
Environmental Conservation Supervisor, Kelly Peterson presented a brief PowerPoint
Presentation giving a brief overview of why the sandbags where put in place and the
progress that has been made to remove them.
Peterson noted that in January 2009, a storm impacted the integrity of the Howard
Hanson Dam which caused the Corps of Engineers to limit its storage capacity. As a
result, the King County Flood Control District and the Green River Valley cities installed
flood protection measures due to the increased potential of flooding from the Green
River. Within the city of Kent over 18,000 giant sandbags were installed on top of
nearly 12 miles of levees along the Green River.

PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE
Minutes of Monday, August 6, 2012
With the Howard Hanson Dam fixed and operating at full capacity, giant sandbags
throughout the Green River Valley are being removed. Sandbag removal began on
July 10, 2012, in Kent. As of July 27, 2012, the contractor had removed 6,749
sandbags and has averaged over 500 bags per day.
Peterson demonstrated why the City couldn't sell or give away the sand used to fill the
sandbags by bringing in two clear cups filled with sand, one contained construction
grade sand and the other with sand that was taken from the site on the West Hill that
was used to fill the sandbags. There was a distinct difference in the quality between
the two, and the West Hill sand was not suitable for marketing.
No Motion Required/Information Only
Item 6 — Information Only/Water Source - Update:
Interim Water Superintendent, Sean Bauer gave an informative PowerPoint
Presentation outlining the City of Kent's Water Sources; where they are located, and
what their functions are.
No Motion Required/Information Only
Item 7 — Information Only/Levee Update:
Environmental Engineering Supervisor, Alex Murillo noted that Environmental
Engineering Manager, Mike Mactutis and Mayor Cooke were attending a King County
Flood Control District (KCFCD) Advisory Committee meeting to discuss the levees.
Murillo went on to give a brief update on the status of our Levee's. He noted that
Renton was told by the Corps that the Cedar River levees will be decertified and that
Tukwila's portion of the Green River levee located off of 180th will also no longer be
certified. The Corps is getting out of the business of certifying levees and will transfer
the responsibility to local flood control agencies. Murillo went on to explain a bit about
each reach of our levees. The City will be going back to the KCFCD to pursue funding
for repair of the levees instead of purchasing property, which is what King County
wants to pursue.
No Motion Required/Information Only
The meeting was adjourned at 5:14 p.m.

Motion:
Move to recommend Council authorize the Mayor to sign a Consultant
Services Agreement with R2 Resource Consultants, Inc. in the amount of
$26,276.50, subject to final terms and conditions acceptable to the City
Attorney and Public Works Director.
Summary:
The Clark Springs Water Supply System Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) was
approved by the National Marine Fisheries Service and the United States Fish and
Wildlife Service in 2011. Approval of the HCP secures the City's main water
withdrawal from Clark Springs, which is our potable water source. The HCP
identifies how much water the City can withdraw from Clark Springs, with the
remaining water left available for the natural habitat in Rock Creek - which is fed by
Clark Springs. As a condition of approval, the Water Utility is required to install
mitigation measures for water withdrawal and conduct specific monitoring measures.
This contract will meet the current requirements of Monitoring and Evaluation
Measure MEM-3. This MEM requires weekly spawning surveys for salmon species
every fourth year in Rock Creek for the 50-year duration of the HCP.
Budget Impact:
The Water Department has budgeted for this expense in order to maintain
compliance with the HCP.

City of Kent Conducting Rock Creek Spawning Surveys
INTRODUCTION
R2 Resource Consultants Inc. (R2) is pleased to submit this proposal to the City of Kent for
conducting spawning surveys in Rock Creek during the 2012/2013 spawning season. The City
of Kent released a Final Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP)for the Clark Spring Water Supply
System in December 2010. The plan went into effect with issuance of an Incidental Take Permit
in September 2011. The HCP requires a number of specific Monitoring and Evaluation
Measures (MEM), including spawning surveys of Rock Creek on a 4-year cycle. The measure,
identified as MEM-3, requires the following(City of Kent 2010):
"The City of Kent will conduct weekly spawning surveys for Chinook
salmon, sockeye salmon, coho salmon, and adfluvial cutthroat trout within
selected index reaches of Rock Creek every fourth year. Monitoring will
occur beginning during the week of September 21 and extend through the
end of February. The four-year period is selected based on atypical
four-year life cycle of sockeye and coho salmon, the species with the
longest life cycle that routinely uses Rock Creek Hence, monitoring a
four-year period would encompass one complete life cycle and should
provide sufficient information from which to formulate population trends.
It would also serve to monitor potential use by Chinook salmon. Index
reaches for Chinook and sockeye salmon would include Reach 1 through
Reach 7 from September 21 to December 31. Index reaches for coho
salmon would include Reaches 8, 9, 10, and 11 from November 15 to
February 28. "
R2 is well-suited for completing this task because it assisted the City of Kent in the development
of the HCP and R2 completed spawning surveys for the City of Kent during the 2003/2004 and
2004/2005 spawning seasons. Our proposed approach for completing the spawning surveys is
described below and slightly modifies the approach from the previous spawning surveys to meet
the requirements of the HCP; costs are presented in Table 2. We have also enclosed resumes of
selected R2 staff that we anticipate would be involved in the completion of these tasks, as well as
a general rate schedule that lists staff hourly rates and equipment usage rates.

City of Kent Conducting Rock Creek Spawning Surveys
ROCK CREEK SPAWNING SURVEYS
BACKGROUND
Rock Creek supports stocks of several anadromous fish including sockeye (Oncorhynchus nerka)
and coho (O. kisutch) salmon, and steelhead (O. mykiss). Chinook salmon (O. tshawytscha)have
occasionally been observed in Rock Creek over the past 10 years, but numbers are low with zero
to two fish observed per year (R2 2005, R2 2004, H. Berge pers. com. May 6, 2012). The
system also supports cutthroat trout(O. clarki)that are reportedly adfluvial fish from Lake
Washington. These fish collectively spawn over a period of months extending from September
into February (MCS Environmental 2003).
Spawning surveys have been conducted on a weekly basis in up to 12 reaches (Figure 1)totaling
up to 2.4 miles of Rock Creek during the 2001/2002, 2002/2003, 2003/2004, and 2004/2005
spawning seasons (MCS 2003, R2 2004, R2 2005). Surveys began at the confluence of Rock
Creek and the Cedar River up to the upstream boundary of the City's watershed, a total distance
of about 2.7 miles. Over the past 10 years, King County and WDFW have also conducted
surveys in Rock Creek, but have been focused on reaches where, and the time period when,
Chinook salmon might spawn in the creek.
APPROACH
R2 proposes an approach slightly modified from previous surveys that meets the requirements of
the MEM-3 of the Clark Springs Water Supply System HCP (City of Kent 2010). This will
continue the general approach, reach designations, and general procedures used for spawning
surveys conducted during the 2003/2004 and 2004/2005 spawning seasons to ensure
comparability.
FREQUENCY OF SURVEYS
R2 proposes to maintain the same general frequency of sampling(approximately every 10 days)
as in previous surveys. However, MEM-3 only requires surveying of specific index reaches
targeted primarily for Chinook salmon and coho salmon. Consequently, Reaches 1 through 7
would be surveyed during September 21 to December 3land Reaches 8 through 11 would be
surveyed during November 15 through February 28 (Table 1). Reach 9b and Reach 12 will not
be surveyed. We anticipate and have estimated costs for a total of 17 surveys that would be
conducted at approximately 10-day intervals (range 7 to 14 days) between September 1 and
February 28 using a 2-person team of biologists. We propose to start surveys within a week after
Chinook are observed at the Landsburg fish weir. We expect that the initial surveys will only
require observations over Reaches 1, 2, and 3 until sockeye begin to move into the creek. At that

time surveys would be expanded to cover reaches farther upstream. However, during the first
survey, all survey reaches will be walked to re-establish and flag reach boundaries.

September 21 —November 14 Reaches 1 through 7 6
November 15 —December 31 Reaches 1 through 11 5
January 1 —February 28 Reaches 8 through 11 6
DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS
Data to be collected/provided during each survey would include:
• Date of Survey;
• General Weather Conditions;
• Flow (from the USGS gages No. 12118400 and No. 12118500 near Kent Kangley Road
and the mouth of Rock Creek, respectively);
• Time at the beginning and end of each survey reach;
• Water temperature (measured with a hand-held thermometer);
• Number, species, and sex of live and dead(carcasses will be marked to avoid double
counting during latter surveys) salmon (coho, sockeye, Chinook);
• Number and species of live and dead (carcasses will be marked) cutthroat trout; and
• Representative photographs will be taken of each reach and fish species observed during
the surveys.
Data will be collected in bound waterproof field notebooks and input to electronic spreadsheets.
TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM
Results of the surveys would be presented in a short Technical Memorandum (TM) (10 pages of
text or less). The TM will summarize the results of the surveys, including tallies of the live and
dead salmon and trout observed during each survey by species. Statistical analyses to develop
escapement estimates will not be conducted. The TM will include as appendices copies of all
field forms and selected photographs. If desired by the City of Kent, upon the completion of
R2 Resource Consultants,Inc. 4 August 6, 2012

City of Kent Conducting Rock Creek Spawning Surveys
each individual survey, R2 can provide a tabular report of survey results in electronic format. R2
will alert the City of Kent if live or dead Chinook salmon are observed in Rock Creek within 24
hours after a survey.
SCHEDULE
R2 proposes to complete this work in accordance with the following schedule:
• Spawning surveys —commence when Chinook first observed at the Landsburg fish weir
(approximately the first week in September) and continue through February;
• Draft Technical Memorandum—on or before April 1, 2013.
COSTS
Estimated costs by task are presented in Table 2.

and ecology of Pacific salmon and trout with particular emphasis on their migratory behavior,
population dynamics, and habitat requirements. He is experienced in assessing salmonid
habitat condition and stock strength and the development of models useful for evaluating the
existing or potential effects of natural resource use and management actions such as
domestic water supply, timber harvest, mining, and hydroelectric development for
Environmental Assessments (EAs) and Environmental Impact Statements (EISs), Sustained
Yield Plans, Watershed Analysis, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission licensing, and
Habitat Conservation Plans (HCPs) and Biological Assessments/Biological Evaluations
(BA/BEs) required under the Endangered Species Act. Mr. Olson's responsibilities are
primarily related to project management and task leadership for fish, aquatic, riparian, and
water quality resources including planning, execution, database management, data analysis,
and report preparation. He is skilled in the use of the Microsoft Office software suite including

Fish Population Studies: Analyzed various fish population metrics such as abundance
(mark/recapture, capture depletion, catch per unit effort), length, weight, condition factor, size
at age, fry emergence, and redd or spawner counts. Studies have occurred primarily in
California (Mokelumne River) and Montana (Missouri River, Ennis Reservoir, Holter and
Hauser Reservoirs) as part of hydroelectric licensing. Conducted statistical analysis to
compare results among different stream reaches, lake areas and years and to correlate
population metrics to physical stream parameters such as water temperature, flow, and fine
sediment (fry studies). Developed custom database programs to maintain data and conduct
analyses. Participated in data collection using scuba, emergence traps, and backpack, barge,
and boat-based electrofishing systems to capture, count, mark, and measure fish.
Modeling, Database Development, and Statistical Analysis: Participated in a team
developing population models for spring Chinook salmon in four watersheds with the
Willamette River basin using the Species Life-cycle Analysis Modules (SLAM) modeling
platform developed by the NMFS. Developed scripts in the R statistical package for running
WinBUGS (Bayesian analysis Using Gibson Sampling)and statistical analysis of
Oncorhynchus Bayesian Analysis (OBAN) model results for spring and winter Chinook
populations in the Sacramento River, California. Developed database structures and
graphical user interfaces in MS Access for bibliographic and habitat survey databases.
Developed an Excel implementation of fish bioenergetics modeling using Visual Basic for

utilized assessment techniques such as radio tracking, electrofishing, and gill nets to discern
fish behavior, population trends, and demographics. Study responsibilities included planning,
data collection and analysis, and report preparation. Mr. Olson recently participated in the
completion of relicensing documents (Pre-application Document and Proposed Study Plans)
for the Boundary Hydroelectric project in Washington State using the Integrated Licensing
Process. In advance of preparing relicensing documents, he also managed development of
an electronic and hardcopy project library including a user-friendly searchable database
application.
NEpA/SEPA Participated in the preparation of numerous EISs and EAs required under the National
Environmental Policy Act and Washington State Environmental Act. Project roles have
included fish and riparian task leader, interdisciplinary team leader, and deputy project
manager. Mr. Olson has participated in all aspects of preparing NEPA and SEPA documents
including summarization of scoping comments, preparation of public newsletters,
development of alternatives to the proposed action, fieldwork, preparation of document
chapters (including Purpose and Need and Alternatives), analytical sections (Affected
Environment and Environmental Consequences), and response to comments. The types of
federal and state decisions include federal hydroelectric dam operations and modifications,
timber harvest on National Forest Service (NFS) lands (Alaska and Minnesota), road access
on NFS lands, land exchange, prescribed burning on NFS lands (Minnesota), ski resort
maintenance and re-development on NFS lands, habitat conservation plans, forest practices
rules (Washington), and site restoration on National Park Service lands.
Endangered Species Mr. Olson is currently working on or completed support on documents to meet the regulatory
Act requirements of the Endangered Species Act. These include the development of a HCP for
the City of Kent's Clark Springs Water Supply Facility a BE for the relicensing of Seattle City
Light's Boundary Hydroelectric Project, a BE for on-going operations and construction of the
Gorge 2nd Tunnel at Seattle City Light's Skagit Hydroelectric Project, a BE for a Pacific Gas
and Electric transmission line, a BA for the Plum Creek Checkerboard Access Project, and
BAs for the Stevens Pass Day Lodge Project and Stevens Pass Mill Valley Grading Project.
Fish Behavior Utilized ultrasonic and radio tags to examine the migration behavior of adult Chinook salmon
Studies and juvenile coho salmon in rivers and estuaries. Examined the behavioral effects of dummy
tags on coho juveniles during forced swimming trials. Conducted data analysis, prepared
reports, and co-authored papers for all studies. Analyzed recapture data from a traditional
tagging study to examine resident fish movements among stream reaches. Collected site
elevation data at a cascading falls in Idaho and analyzed the longitudinal profile relative to
spring Chinook leaping abilities to determine if the falls were likely to act as a migration
barrier.

Item - 7
Motion:
Information Only/No Motion Required
Summary: Council adopted the Kent Non-Motorized Transportation Plan in 2008 as
the City's first comprehensive long-range bicycle and pedestrian plan. A significantly
condensed summary of this plan became "Chapter 6 — Non-Motorized System" of the
Transportation Master Plan (TMP). The Plan identifies a future bicycle and pedestrian
network for the city through the year 2030 and it prioritizes an initial list of projects
for both the bicycle and the pedestrian networks.
At the time we created our bike and ped plan, our intent was to plan for and
implement a multimodal transportation system with a goal of providing mobility
options for all trips (commuter, recreation and daily living tasks). Since then, it has
become state law (RCW36.70A.040) that all Transportation Elements of
Comprehensive Plans must include a pedestrian and bicycle component. We were
ahead of our time.
Kent has received many praises for the thoroughness of our planning approach and
completeness of our product. PSRC has referred a number of other cities to contact
us for advice on how to construct their own bicycle and pedestrian planning
processes.
This presentation is to provide some information about how implementation of the
plan has been going.
