SPECIAL Public Works Committee Minutes
February 3, 2014
COMMITTEE MEMBERS PRESENT:
Committee Chair, Dennis Higgins and Committee members Dana Ralph and Jim Berrios were
present. The meeting was called to order at 4:05 p.m.
Item 1 — Approval of Meeting Minutes Dated January 27, 2014:
Committee member Ralph MOVED to approve the minutes of January 27, 2014. The
motion was SECONDED by Committee member Berrios and PASSED 3-0.
Item 2 — Lab Sampling Agreement:
Interim Water Superintendent, Kevin Swinford stated that the city routinely collects drinking
water samples and analyzes them for coliform. Sampling and analysis ensure our drinking water
is free of coliform bacteria. Am Test, Inc. is an approved lab, located in Redmond, WA.
Committee member Berrios MOVED to recommend Council authorize the Mayor to sign
a Goods and Services Agreement with Am Test, Inc. for coliform sampling and testing
in an amount not to exceed $43,392.00 subject to final terms and conditions acceptable
to the City Attorney and Public Works Director. The motion was SECONDED by
Committee member Ralph and PASSED 3-0.
Item 3 — Information Only/SCADA Software Upgrade:
Interim Water Superintendent, Kevin Swinford explained that SCADA stands for Supervisory
Control and Data Acquisition. He went on to note that this system includes a network of over 40
remote water, sewer and storm sites that communicate their operational information to a central
location by radio signal. The information is used to control various pumps, monitor security,
collect data and notify personnel of critical problems. This system is radio based and collects
important data. Swinford stated that Information Technology staff will purchase the server
hardware and install it.
It was asked if the system could interface with the transportation system. Chad Bieren noted
that it is a different system and that it would serve us better if they operated separately.
Information Only/No Motion Required
Item 4 SE 2561h Street Improvements — Kent Kanglev Road to 1161h Ave SE, Planter
Islands:
City Engineer, Chad Bieren noted that the SE 2561h Street project has been under construction for
several months. Bieren stated that as part of the original design, the city was planning to install
planter islands at two locations along SE 2561h between Kent-Kangley Road and 1161h Ave SE.
Based on new information from local businesses west of 1091h Avenue SE, staff has determined
that one of the islands needs to be reduced in length to ensure truck access is preserved for
deliveries. The planters will be 50-75 ft. shorter than originally planned.
Information Only/No Motion Required

Subject: Information Only/Residential Vehicle Weight Restrictions
Item - 2
No Motion Required/Information Only
Summary:
RCW 46.44.080 allows local municipalities to impose weight restrictions or vehicle
class restrictions on local roads via ordinance or resolution. Any restriction requires
signage with the provisions of the ordinance or resolution.
In some instances, restrictions may be applicable to protect the character of a
neighborhood traffic is or the integrity of local roads from impacts of truck traffic
where cut throughs are occurring.
State law requires school buses, emergency vehicles and vehicles transporting
commodities necessary for the health and welfare of local residents to be authorized
by rule or special permit. Exemptions are also being considered for transit when
applicable.
Presently, Kent does not have an ordinance to restrict heavy vehicle or specific
classes of vehicles on residential streets. Neighborhood residents south of Willis
Street have requested such an ordinance to restrict trucks on 3rd Avenue.
Budget Impact:
None

Item 3

Summary:
The city has experienced two significant snow events this winter season. The first

morning rush hour and caused significant traffic delays, particularly on the East Hill.
The second event occurred on Saturday night, February 8th through the morning
hours, traffic was light and fewer traffic delays were experienced, due to it being a
weekend.

coordination for the next snowfall. Staff will present those findings to the Council
Committee.
