2. 2014 Highline School District Rental Agreement for Camp Waskowitz
— Authorize
Lori Hogan, Superintendent of Recreation and Cultural Services explained that the
2014 contract with Highline School District #401 is to rent the Camp Waskowitz
facility in North Bend, Washington for one week from August 4 — August 8, 2014
and has for over 30 years now. The camp hosts about 150 children entering 5th,
6th, and 7th grades. The contract is approximately $41,040 and the revenue is
supported by fees. Approximately 30 to 40% of the camp fees are paid by
scholarships and staffed by volunteers. Staff works with numerous principals across
the district and many of the principals designate attendees.
Ralph asked about registration. L. Hogan replied that information on the event is
provided in the recreation program guide and online at www.kentwa.gov. Also
online is a great video by Multi Media that shows first-hand what the camp and
program is all about.
B. Fincher asked if there is a need for volunteers. L. Hogan said by now all the
volunteers are probably lined up, but if there is interest they can contact the
Youth/Teen division for further information. There are 36 volunteers that act as
counselors for the week.

B. Fincher MOVED and D. Higgins SECONDED the motion to recommend
authorizing the Mayor to sign the agreement with Highline School District
#401 in the amount of $41,040.00, to rent Camp Waskowitz for the 2014
summer resident camp, subject to terms and conditions acceptable to the
City Attorney and Parks Director. The motion PASSED 3-0.
3. King County Parks Property Tax Levy Agreement — Authorize
Hope Gibson, Manager of Park Planning and Development reported that last year,
voters in King County approved Proposition 1, authorizing a property tax levy lift for
six years with the proceeds going to regional and local parks. The proposition
required that a percentage of the levy funds be distributed to cities for capital
projects in their local parks system. H. Gibson shared that the old levy which was
quite restrictive with how to expend the funds has expired.
The County is proposing to enter into a contract with the city of Kent that would
allow the city to receive its share of the levy proceeds which are estimated at
$236,797.00. This amount is based on a levy rate of $0.1901 per one thousand
dollars of assessed value. A new account will be created for these funds. The
contract will run through December, 2019.
Watling said he had the privilege of serving as co-chair on the King County Levy
Task Force. As a result of committee discussions, it was decided that local
jurisdictions were the best stewards of their own funds, so there is more flexibility
than the previous year.
D Higgins asked if the funds are earmarked, or if there will be discussion. J. Watling
said it will be discussed each year as to how the funds will be spent. This year a
portion of the funds are designated for the Wilson Playfield turf replacement
project.
D. Higgins asked if the amount is fixed or variable. J. Watling remarked that it is
fixed at $0.1.03, but the dollar amount will vary a small amount with assessments.
D. Higgins was surprised at the small amount the city is receiving compared to the
size of the levy itself. J. Watling said the levy fully funds the King County parks
system. There is no general fund support and is the only funding source for their
parks, so they get the majority of the levy funds. J. Watling responded to D.
Higgin's remark confirming that it is a slight increase to last year's proceeds.
D. Higgins MOVED and B. Fincher SECONDED the motion to recommend
authorizing the Mayor to sign the King County Parks Property Tax Levy
agreement to accept Proposition 1 Parks Levy funds, and approving the
expenditure of funds, subject to terms and conditions acceptable to the
City Attorney and Parks Director. The motion PASSED 3-0.

4. 2014 City Art Plan and Five Year City Art Plan 2014 — 2018 — Aoorove
Ronda Billerbeck, Manager of Cultural Programs reported that each year staff is
required to review the art plan and get approval from Council. The City Art Plan
details projects for 2014 and lists art expenditures planned for 2014-2018 as part
of the 5 year plan. The Visual Arts Committee worked with staff to craft the plan
which was approved by Kent Arts Commission on February 25, 2014. The following

J. Watling added that staff is very excited about the art component of the Kent
Valley Loop Trail Project. There is great synergy with the Arts Commission and
Economic Development staff on this project. J. Watling complimented Ronda for
exceptional work on the Art Plan and with the Arts Commission.
D. Ralph spoke to the city's dedication to the quality of life for the residents. She
asked about the DIY Project timeline. R. Billerbeck spoke to the visual arts
coordinator position being laid off a couple years ago and so many projects had to
be delayed. Hopefully, it will begin this year. Staff has authorization from IT to
advertise an RFP to get outside expertise and assistance with the scope for this
project.
B. Fincher MOVED and D. Higgins SECONDED the motion to recommend
Council approve the 2014 City Art Plan and the Five Year City Art Plan 2014
- 2018. The motion PASSED 3-0.
D. Ralph asked for an update on concert pianist, Alpin Hong. Ronda shared that on
Wednesday, Alpin was at Lake Youngs Elementary and presented to an assembly of
Page 4
Page 5
approximately 300, 3rd through 6th grade students. This morning he was at Meeker
Middle School with 225, 7th through 9th graders, and tomorrow morning he will be
at Cedar Heights doing an assembly for music students. Each afternoon he is
rehearsing with music students at Kent Meridian. The first half of the show will be
Alpin alone and the second half will include the band, orchestra, choir and they've
never performed together. The concert is 7:30 p.m. tomorrow night.
D. Ralph strongly encouraged everyone to go and see the show. She remarked how
amazing he is and the work he does with the kids is hard to put into words. She
thanked Ronda for all of her work.
S. Wilson Plavfields Turf Replacement Proiect Agreement — Authorize
J. Watling and H. Gibson reported that the synthetic turf at Wilson Playfields has
lived a healthy and long life, but is in the need of replacement. The site layout is
mostly completed with the goal of consistency, flexibility, safety, durability, and
better maintenance. Within the design, staff also considered maximizing the square
footage, line configurations, additional turf for high use areas, replacing turf with
rubberized material (warning track), as well as defining specific areas with different
colors. J. Watling also shared that staff has a packet ready with a motion with staff
recommendation if necessary after discussion.
The bulk of this project involved staff working through turf selection with a lot of
research, tours, consultation with other agencies, discussion with turf vendors, and
looking at third party research done by agencies and universities that don't have a
"chip in the game." Through all of that work, what came through was the quality of
turf in the industry has a wide variety of materials that determine the quality of the
product. There are three broad factors to consider: the plastic used for the blades,
the backing and how it's adhered, and the infill. Also factored in is information on
the vendor. For example, looking at the financial condition of the company (the
vendor for Wilson Playfield turf went out of business and the warranty work was left
to us), their responsiveness, quality control, and customer service. All told, this
makes the procurement process for turf a very careful process. When there are a
number of vendors that offer a wide variety of turf, the typical bid process with
seeking lowest prices, has significant trade-offs. To take into consideration - - is the
lowest price the best value, if value is defined as quality and price?
With all of this research and information, staff has come to a recommendation to
proceed with Field Turf. Given all of these factors, staff feels it is a good investment
because it is the best combination of price, quality, durability, and reliability.
In looking at procurement options, staff recommends a process used my numerous
agencies throughout the region - purchasing through the King County Director's
Association (KCDA), a long standing purchasing cooperative that Kent has been a
member since 1982. They bid many products, including synthetic turf. In their bid
process for synthetic turf, they went with Field Turf. As a member of that co-op, the
city can make purchases through them. Something to keep in mind, a number of
Page 5
Page 6
co-ops are available, but if the city is not part to of that co-op, it would take time to
enter into an agreement with that co-op.
The city received the scope of services and it is well within the project budget,
keeping a 5% contingency. The budget is $1.8M and the funds are available in the
capital budget, which includes funds from the general fund, prior year's REET, prior
year's capital money, and proceeds from the King County Levy funds.
The contract would include turf, pole replacement, and netting in the amount of
$1.7M. It allows the project to stay on schedule. If action is recommended tonight,
the item would go to full Council on Other Business on April 1, so that staff has the
time to review the process and Council, as well as the community understands the
due diligence that staff has done and the process yet to come.
B. Fincher asked about the color of the turf around the edge of the warning track
area to distinguish an edge. J. Watling confirmed that the turf around the track will
be a rust color and not green. It will be a visual queue.
D. Higgins asked if the turf is considered first quality turf. Jeff said yes.
D. Higgins asked about the backing weight. J. Watling responded that the
information is in the specifications and he will get that information to Council.
D. Higgins asked about the yarn type. J. Watling responded that the information is
in the specifications and he will get that information to Council.
D. Higgins asked about the warranty. J. Watling responded that it is an 8 year
warranty — industry standard.
D. Higgins asked what turf was installed on the Kent School District fields. J.
Watling responded that it was a Shaw product. Field Turf was recently installed at
Petrovisky Park.
D. Higgins asked about the weave of the turf — technical term was three or five
fiber weave. J. Watling responded that the information is in the specifications and
he will get that information to Council.
D. Higgins about the delay in the different co-ops. J. Watling said that staff would
have to take an interlocal agreement through law for review and committee for
recommendation, and then to Council for authorization - and this could take
approximately 3-4 weeks.
D. Higgins asked what timeline it is for getting the project underway. J. Watling
said staff wants the contract signed by May 12, which coincides with the day after
the elementary school program ends. The turf is custom manufactured and that will
allow enough time to be completed, including taking out the old turf. Staff worked
with all of the athletic groups to find the best time of the season to have the fields
closed and impact to programs. Since basketball and softball would be most
Page 6
Page 7
impacted by the closure of Wilson while under construction, the goal is to be done
with the installation before that season. Staff anticipates having the field completed
by mid-July.
D Higgins referenced a parks citizen's committee in 2012 that met and one of the
items recommended was field replacements including Wilson. He asked if the
committee discussed specific turf projects. B. Fincher responded that samples were
brought in, but there was no major discussion on turf.
D. Higgins asked if there is a difference in turf products and other products
impacting the Kent's buy local ordinance. J. Watling said that most turf is fabricated
out of Georgia and installed by local contractors, not based in Kent.
D. Higgins asked if there are price differences with competitive vendors; does the
cost include the drainage system. J. Watling responded yes, the $1.7M amount
includes drainage and tax and yes, there are different prices with vendors — up to
$200,000. Staff feels that the initial investment offers the potential reduction in
maintenance, field closures, etc. It is staff's desire to be good stewards of the
public's money and feel it is a good investment up front.
D. Higgins asked if the city has maintenance figures from other municipalities who
went with other products, so the cost of maintenance difference from one product
to another is known. J. Watling said staff doesn't because it varies with each turf
product. For instance there were many more years of use on the current turf at
Wilson because of the expertise of the Park Operations team.
D. Higgins asked what the 8-year warranty will cover. Brian Levenhagen, Park
Planner responded that it covers manufacturer's defects, pre-mature wearing of
fibers, and the failure of infill. Some areas are covered by a shorter 1-2 year
warranty such as pitching, home plate, and installation defects.
D Higgins stated that staff is asking for a motion, but there's no contract.
After the contract packet was distributed, J. Watling explained that it includes the
KCDA agreement for the committee to review, along with the 1982 KCDA interlocal
agreement, a staff report, a draft agreement template from KCDA, and the scope of
services from Field Turf.
D. Ralph asked if Field Turf does the installation. J. Watling responded yes, Field
Turf does the installation. The scope includes the purchase, disposal of old turf,
drainage and installation, as well as the netting and poles.
J. Watling confirmed with B. Fincher that G-Max testing is checking for buoyancy in
the turf.
D. Ralph asked for examples of agencies that are getting extra life on their turf. J.
Watling said that Wilson was 12 years and it's a much older generation of turf. He's
hoping that with great maintenance and care and great product that staff can get
15 years out of the product. J. Watling said he can't predict it, but he's confident
Page 7
Page 8
that staff will maintain and manage the turf so that it will live longer than its
warranty.
H. Gibson explained that turf is like cars in that a new and more improved model is
coming out each year. Some universities do complete durability tests and each
company is constantly bringing in new models and testing their completion. Field
Turf has a long history of bringing in better and better products.
D. Ralph asked if there is a fee involved in a new co-op. J. Watling responded, no
there isn't.
D. Ralph asked what's involved in the maintenance of turf. Garin Lee,
Superintendent of Park Operations explained that current practice is to pay
attention to high traffic and high wear areas — in particular rug rise, maintaining the
depth as defined in the specifications, and making sure the seams are in place and
sealed.
D. Ralph asked who are the community partners using Wilson and what input
they've offered. J. Watling responded that Kent Youth Soccer, Kent Little League,
and Kent School District are community partners. One of the long standing
members is Kent Youth Soccer and they are an advocate for getting the most value.
They are a strong supporter of the Field Turf product.
H. Gibson stated that she is a Landscape Architect and not a synthetic turf expert.
With turf product, it's not straight forward. What we did was to hire a consultant
who has a national reputation, years of experience, and an expert with synthetic
turf fields. They guided staff in talking to reps, to users, and local partners. Brian
and Jeff did a great job of due diligence. That said, there will be a lot of opinions
and different experiences, but again, turf is not a standard product. Staff did pursue
finding the best value for the city.
T. Brubaker came to the table and apologized for the delicate issue he was about to
bring up. He stated that Council is in charge of budget and sets policy through
budget. In order to maintain that budget any Public Works project over $50,000
Council requires their approval. The executive branch determines the products and
the methodology to be used for projects, and the executive branch decides what
products to purchase by using their years and years of expertise to determine
which product is the best. He acknowledged their stake in this project and their
control through budgetary authority to award this item or not. With respect, he
cautioned them in digging too deep and second guessing the experienced choice of
the Parks Director and the executive branch in the award of this project. He stated
that if any of them were to become the Mayor in the future, they would appreciate
it if Council wouldn't second guess the experienced choices of the Mayor's staff in
determining how to build the project. He apologized again, but feels it's unusual to
dig down this deep. He asked that they respect the expertise and efforts put in by
the Parks Director on this project.
Page 8
Page 9
D. Ralph commented that she understands all the work that has been done and the
large amount of due diligence. She said what's driving this conversation, is
concerned questions from the community and the Council as a whole.
D. Higgins responded that he does respect Jeff's opinion, but when talking about a
quarter of million dollars of tax payer money, he feels he has an obligation to ask
these questions and seek a second opinion, which he has in talking to folks in the
soccer community, King County Parks about the various products out there. He
concurs with J. Watling's recommendation, but he does have questions to the
specific project being looked at and would like his questions answered. Due to his
research, he is comfortable with the decision.
J. Watling shared that there is another field turf product called Revolution that is a
higher end product and more expensive than the recommended Field Turf product.
D. Ralph reiterated that this item is $1.7M dollars and the entire Council needs to
have the opportunity to hear this conversation. She agrees that it needs to be
placed on Other Business.
D. Higgins MOVED and B. Fincher SECONDED the motion to recommend
authorizing the Mayor to sign the KCDA agreement in the amount of
$1,716, 511.53, including Washington State Sales Tax, to replace the
synthetic turf at Wilson Playfields and perform associated incidental work,
subject to final terms and conditions acceptable to the City Attorney and
the Parks Director. The motion PASSED 3-0.
J. Watling thanked the Council and stated that if they have any other questions
staff will be more than happy to respond as part of the staff report at the City
Council meeting. Knowing of the community interest and use of Wilson Playfields,
he appreciates the delicacy of the decision made.
6. Director's Report — INFO ONLY
Human Services
The Federal Government confirmed the amount of the Community Development
Block Grant Funding allocation at our estimate of $915,000.00 and staff will move
forward with the Consolidated Action Plan.
The Human Services Commission Retreat is tomorrow morning. The application
process is open now and a big part of the retreat will be preparing how staff wants
to proceed with review of the applications, as well as the entire funding process and
investing those resources.
Cultural Services/Multi Media Awards
The Cultural Services Division, in partnership with the city Multi Media group,
received a number of awards recently. The festival association represents planners
from throughout the state, including organizations like One Reel and Seafair. The
city received gold for the Fourth of July Splash Poster, Silver for the Christmas Rush
Page 9
Page 10
Fun Run Shirt and the Spotlight Series Brochure, Bronze for the Cornucopia Days
Fun Run Shirt, and another gold medal for the partnership with Tab Wizard and the
Christmas Fun Run. Mark Hendrickson deserves a lot of kudos and credit for his
creativity with the fun run. The event has turned into a 2,500 great runner, family-
focused, kids, and parents event. A lot that has to do with the partnership that staff
has created with Tab Wizard. Dennis Zaborach, a Kent resident and owner of Tab
Wizard and the partnership and alliance with Dennis has spurred extremely reduced
costs for kids to attend the event. It was very rewarding to see that this
partnership was awarded a gold medal.
Park Asset Analysis
As 2014 projects are lined up, staff has done a lot of careful analysis of the city's
aging infrastructure. Brenda Fincher was part of the citizens group that reviewed
the parks asset analysis last year. Unfortunately, staff is not able to get to
everything and there is a decay of assets before they can be fixed. More will be
discussed at the Council Retreat this weekend.
Of the 2014 projects, Wilson Playfields is the biggest project. Green Tree Park is
getting an overall park and play renovation — funded through a grant and
leveraging current lifecycle funding. Gowe Street Mini Park, which is located in front
of Farrington Court, will be repurposed into a nicely landscaped traffic circle. Green
River Trail will get repairs, Kent Memorial Park play area will hopefully be renovated
by KaBOOM funding, and some fields will get re-lighting.
A watch list of projects that staff is unable to get to has been created. This includes
the dock at Lake meridian, picnic shelters, and restrooms - - and the list continues
to grow.
Later this spring, there may be some major changes to the park system. Staff will
have to strongly consider whether to close parks, and / or remove amenities
because of safety concerns. Amenities under consideration are: demolishing the
stage at Earthworks Park, closing boardwalk access at Lake Fenwick Park, reducing
the tennis courts to one tennis court at Garrison Creek Park, and closing stair
access to the gazebo in Burlington Park.
This is a challenging management and stewardship challenge. Staff continues to
make strategic investments into the park system, but the financial needs far
outweigh our financial capacity. Staff has to make some hard decisions.
D. Ralph acknowledged the reality of where the city is at with aging park assets.
Staff has done an outstanding in job of maintaining at the current funding level.
Conversations have taken place for several years that the city may get to the point
of closing, changing, or repurposing the way assets are used.
D. Ralph shared her recent involvement at Kentridge High School, listening to
senior's oral presentations. One of the students highlighted her volunteer
experience at the KaBOOM build at Turnkey Park as part of her cumulative project.
Page 10
Page 11
She even asked when the next one is coming. This shows the value of what the
Parks Department brings. She thanked the department for that.
J. Watling added that KaBOOM grants are extremely competitive and the city has
the potential of getting funding to complete the Kent Memorial Park renovation
project. This is a testament to the community that volunteers and to our staff.
D. Ralph adjourned the meeting at 6:20 p.m.

TO: Kent City Council Parks and Human Services Committee
FROM: Alex Ackley, Superintendent of Facilities
SUBJECT: Perkins Building Lease Agreement for City Storage - Authorize
MOTION: Move to recommend Council authorize the Mayor to sign the Lease
Agreement with Charlie Perkins for property located at 715 W. Smith Street
to be used as a city storage facility, subject to final terms and conditions
acceptable to the City Attorney and the Parks Director.
SUMMARY: This is a renewal of a lease that began in 2006 when the city sold the
"Red Barn" on Railroad Avenue. The property at 715 W. Smith Street consists of
6,350 square feet of building space and a 25,000 square foot lot. This property
provides storage for Facilities, Home Repair, Cultural Arts, and the Kent Lions Club.
The City subleases space to the Lions Club for storage of equipment and supplies used
for their many functions that occur in Kent throughout the year. The city shall pay the
Landlord the amount of $4,750.00 per month for the first two years of the Lease Term,
$5,000 per month for the remaining three years of the Lease Term. The increase after
two years is due to trend. Currently, the city collects $1,000, plus $55.00 (electricity)
per month for subleasing a portion of the building to Kent Lions. In June, 2014, city staff
will negotiate a sublease with Kent Lions to continue charging $1,000, plus $55.00 for
electricity per month for the first two years of the Lease Term and then increasing to
approximately $1,050, plus $55.00 (electricity) per month for years three through five.
Home Repair uses it to store building supplies used for their community-based repair
program. Cultural Arts stores equipment and supplies used for their programs and
events. Facilities uses the space to store furniture parts, basketball hoops, HVAC
filters and other miscellaneous equipment and supplies needed to be stored until such
time as it can be used.

agreement between the parties. Except as specified elsewhere in this Lease, Landlord
represents and warrants to Tenant that the Premises, including the structural condition of the
Premises and the condition of all mechanical, electrical and other systems on the Premises are
in a safe, good and usable condition sufficient to meet Tenant's intended uses. Prior to the end
of the Term, Tenant may terminate this Lease by giving Landlord twenty (20) days written
notice prior to the end of the month. Landlord may only terminate this Agreement under an
Event of Default by Tenant, as provided in this Lease.
4. RENT
Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of Four Thousand Seven Hundred Fifty and
No/100 Dollars ($4,750.00) per month for the first two (2) years of the Lease Term, and shall
pay Five Thousand Dollars per month for the remaining three (3) years of the Lease Term.
Tenant shall pay Landlord on or before the first day of each month during the Lease Term, and
will pay for the annual catch basin cleaning, and any other additional payments due to
Landlord (collectively the "Rent") when required under this Lease. Payments for any partial
month at the beginning or end of the Lease Term shall be prorated.
Tenant shall endeavor to pay Landlord under this Lease by the fifth (5th) day of each
month. If any sums payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease are not received by the
fifteenth (15th) day of each month, Tenant shall pay Landlord, at Landlord's option, One
Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($100.00) in addition to the amount due, for the cost of collecting
and handling such late payment. In addition, all delinquent sums payable by Tenant to
Landlord and not paid within fifteen (15) days of the due date shall, at Landlord's option, bear
interest at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum. Interest on all delinquent amounts shall
be calculated from the original due date to the date of payment.

5. SECURITY DEPOSIT
Landlord acknowledges that Tenant has paid the sum of One Thousand and No/100
Dollars ($1,000.00) to Landlord as a Security Deposit under the prior lease for the Premises
between the parties dated March 28, 2006. Landlord may commingle the Security Deposit
with its other funds. If Tenant breaches an covenant or condition of this Lease, including but
not limited to the payment of Rent, Landlord may apply all or any part of the Security Deposit
to the payment of any sum in default and any damage suffered by Landlord as a result of
Tenant's breach. In such event, Tenant shall, within five (5) days after written demand
therefore by Landlord, deposit with Landlord the amount so applied. Any payment to Landlord
from the Security Deposit shall not be construed as a payment of liquidated damages for any
default. If Tenant complies with all of the covenants and conditions of this Lease throughout
the Lease Term or any earlier termination as provided for in Section 3, the Security deposit
shall be repaid to Tenant without interest within thirty (30) days after the vacation of the
Premises by Tenant.
6. TAXES
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all Taxes applicable to the Premises during the
Lease Term. Landlord shall present to Tenant a copy of a statement showing the amount paid
by Landlord for Taxes, along with satisfactory evidence that payment of Taxes has been made
by Landlord. Tenant shall then reimburse Landlord for Taxes with Tenant's next rent
installment. If any Taxes paid by Tenant cover any period of time before or after the
expiration of the Term or any earlier termination as provided for in Section 3, Tenant's share of
those Taxes paid will be prorated to cover only the period of time within the tax fiscal year
during which this Lease was in effect, and Landlord shall promptly reimburse Tenant to the
extent required.
The term "Taxes" shall mean: (i) any form of real estate tax or assessment imposed
on the Premises by any authority, including any city, state or federal government, or any
improvement district, as against any legal or equitable interest of Landlord or Tenant in the
Premises or in the real property of which the Premises are a part, or against rent paid for
leasing the Premises; and (ii) any form of personal property tax or assessment imposed on any
personal property, fixtures, furniture, tenant improvements, equipment, inventory, or other
items, and all replacements, improvements, and additions to them, located on the Premises,
whether owned by Landlord or Tenant. "Taxes" shall include any net income tax imposed on
Landlord for income that Landlord receives under this Lease.
Tenant may contest the amount or validity, in whole or in part, of any Taxes at its sole
expense. Upon the termination of any such proceedings, Tenant shall pay the amount of such
Taxes or part of such Taxes as finally determined, together with any costs, fees, interest
penalties, or other related liabilities. Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant in contesting any
Taxes, provided Landlord incurs no expense or liability in doing so.
7. RE-DELIVERY
Tenant, at the expiration of the Term, any extension of the Term, or upon any sooner
termination of this Lease, will, without notice, quit and deliver up the Premises to the Landlord
peaceably, quietly, and in as good order and condition as the same now are, reasonable use
and wear excepted.
S. ALTERATIONS
LEASE AGREEMENT— Page 2 of 15
(between the City of Kent and Perkins)
Page 17
Tenant may make alterations, additions or improvements to the Premises
("Alterations"), with the prior written consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld. The term "Alterations" shall not include the installation of shelves, moveable
partitions, Tenant's equipment, and trade fixtures that may be performed without damaging
existing improvements or the structural integrity of the Premises, and Landlord's consent shall
not be required for Tenant's installation of those items. Tenant shall complete the Alterations
at Tenant's expense in compliance with all applicable laws and in accordance with plans and
specifications approved by Landlord, and using contractors approved by Landlord. Landlord
shall be deemed the Owner of all Alterations except for those which Landlord requires to be
removed at the end of the Lease Term or any earlier termination of the Lease. Tenant shall
remove all Alterations at the end of the Lease Term or any earlier termination of the Lease
unless Landlord conditioned its consent upon Tenant leaving a specified Alteration at the
Premises, in which case Tenant shall not remove such Alteration. Tenant shall repair any
damages to the Premises caused by the removal of Alterations. If Tenant performs work with
the consent of the Landlord, Tenant agrees to comply with all laws, ordinances, rules, and
regulations of the City, County, and any other authorized public authority.
9. REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE
The Premises are being leased "as is." Landlord is not obligated to make any repairs to
the Premises, except as described in this Section. Tenant shall, at its sole expense, maintain
the Premises in good condition and promptly make all repairs and replacements, whether
structural or non-structural, necessary to keep the Premises in safe operating condition,
including all utilities and other systems serving the Premises, but excluding the roof,
foundation and exterior walls, which Landlord shall maintain in good condition and repair at
Landlord's expense. Tenant shall not damage any demising wall or disturb the structural
integrity of the Premises and shall promptly repair any damage or injury done to any such
demising walls or structural elements caused by Tenant or its employees, agents, contractors,
or invitees. Tenant shall maintain the landscape in a neat and attractive manner.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, Tenant shall not be responsible for
any repairs to the Premises made necessary by the negligence or willful misconduct of
Landlord or its agents, employees, contractors or invitees therein.
10. ACCESS AND RIGHT OF ENTRY
After reasonable notice from Landlord (except in cases of emergency, where no notice
is required), Tenant shall permit Landlord and its agents, employees and contractors to enter
the Premises at all reasonable times to make repairs, inspections, alterations or improvements.
This Section shall not impose any repair or other obligation upon Landlord not expressly stated
elsewhere in this Lease. After reasonable notice to Tenant, Landlord shall have the right to
enter the Premises for the purpose of showing the Premises to prospective purchasers or
lenders at any time, and to prospective tenants within 180 days prior to the expiration or
sooner termination of the Lease Term, and for posting "for lease" signs within 180 days prior
to the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease Term.
11. SIGNAGE
Tenant shall obtain Landlord's written consent before installing any signs upon the
Premises, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Tenant shall install any
approved signage at Tenant's sole expense and in compliance with all applicable laws. Tenant
shall not damage or deface the Premises in installing or removing signage and shall repair any
injury or damage to the Premises caused by such installation or removal.

Page 18
12. DESTRUCTION OR CONDEMNATION
a. Damage and Repair. If the Premises are entirely destroyed or partially damaged by
fire or other casualty, then Tenant may, at its sole option, within fourteen (14) days of
the event causing the damage, terminate this Lease by providing Landlord written
notice of termination. If Tenant does not terminate this Lease and if the Premises are
partially damaged but not rendered untenantable, Landlord shall diligently restore the
Premises. Landlord shall have no obligation to restore the Premises if insurance
proceeds are not available to pay the entire cost of such restoration. If insurance
proceeds are available to Landlord but are not sufficient to pay the entire cost of
restoring the Premises, the Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease and keep the
insurance proceeds, by notifying Tenant within thirty (30) days of the date of such
casualty.
If the Premises are entirely destroyed and rendered untenantable, by fire or other
casualty, and if Tenant has not exercised its right to terminate as provided above,
Landlord may, at its option: (a) terminate this Lease as provided herein, or (b) restore
the Premises to their previous condition.
If Landlord restores the Premises under this Section, Landlord shall proceed with
reasonable diligence to complete the work, and the base monthly rent shall be abated
in the same proportion as the untenantable portion of the Premises bears to the whole
Premises, provided that there shall be a rent abatement only if the damage or
destruction of the Premises did not result from, or was not contributed to directly or
indirectly by the act, fault or neglect of Tenant, or Tenant's officers, contractors,
licensees, subtenants, agents, servants, employees, guests, invitees or visitors.
Provided Landlord complies with its obligations under this Section, no damages,
compensation or claim shall be payable by Landlord for inconvenience, loss of business,
or annoyance directly, incidentally or consequentially arising from any repair or
restoration for any portion of the Premises. Landlord will not carry insurance of any
kind for the protection of Tenant or any improvements paid for by Tenant or as
provided in Exhibit B or on Tenant's furniture or on any fixtures, equipment,
improvements or appurtenances of Tenant under this Lease, and Landlord shall not be
obligated to repair any damage thereto or replace the same unless the damage is
caused by Landlord's negligence or willful misconduct.
b. If the Premises are made untenantable by eminent domain, or conveyed under a threat
of condemnation, this Lease shall automatically terminate as of the earlier of the date
title vests in the condemning authority or the condemning authority first has possession
of the Premises and all Rents and other payments shall be paid to that date. In case of
taking of a part of the Premises that does not render the Premises untenantable, then
this Lease shall continue in full force and effect and the base monthly rental shall be
equitably reduced based on the proportion by which the floor area of any structures is
reduced, such reduction in Rent to be effective as of the earlier of the date the
condemning authority first has possession of such portion or title vests in the
condemning authority. Landlord shall be entitled to the entire award from the
condemning authority attributable to the value of the Premises and Tenant shall make
no claim for the value of its leasehold. Tenant shall be permitted to make a separate
claim for the value of its leasehold. Tenant shall be permitted to make a separate claim
against the condemning authority for moving expenses or damages resulting from
interruption in its business, provided that in no event shall Tenant's claim reduce
Landlord's award.

13. UTILITIES
Landlord shall not be responsible for providing any utilities to the Premises, but
represents and warrants to Tenant that as of the Commencement Date, electricity, water,
sewer and telephone utilities are available at or adjacent to the Premises. Tenant shall
determine whether the available capacity of such utilities will meet Tenant's needs. Tenant
shall install and connect, if necessary, and directly pay for all water, sewer, gas, janitorial,
electricity, garbage removal, heat, telephone and other utilities and services used by Tenant on
the Premises during the Term, whether or not such services are billed directly to Tenant.
Tenant will also procure, or cause to be procured, without cost to Landlord, all necessary
permits, licenses or other authorizations required for the lawful and proper installation,
maintenance, replacement and removal on or from the Premises of wires, pipes, conduits,
tubes and other equipment and appliances for use in supplying all utilities or services to the
Premises. Landlord, upon request of Tenant, and at the sole expense and liability of Tenant,
shall join with Tenant in any application required for obtaining or continuing such utilities or
services.
14. INSURANCE
a. Liability insurance. During the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay for and maintain
commercial general liability insurance with broad form property damage and
contractual liability endorsements. At Landlord's option, this policy shall name
Landlord and Landlord's lender(s) as an additional insured. This policy shall insure
Tenant's activities and those of Tenant's employees, officers, contractors, licensees,
agents, servants, employees, guests, invitees or visitors with respect to the
Premises against loss, damage or liability for personal injury or bodily injury
(including death) or loss or damage to property with a combined single limit of not
less than $1,000,000, and a self-insured retention of not more than $100,000. The
insurance will be non-contributory with any liability insurance carried by Landlord.
b. Property insurance. During the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay for and maintain
special form property insurance (with coverage for earthquake and, if the Premises
are in a flood plain, flood damage) for the Premises, in an amount sufficient to
prevent Landlord or Tenant from becoming a co-insurer under the terms of the
policy, and in an amount not less than the full replacement cost of the Premises,
with a deductible of not more than $10,000. The property insurance policy shall
name Tenant as the insured and Landlord and Landlord's lender(s) as additional
insureds, with loss payable to Landlord, Landlord's lender(s), and Tenant as their
interests may appear. In the event of a casualty loss on the Premises, Landlord
may apply insurance proceeds under the property insurance policy in the manner
described in Section 12(a).
c. Miscellaneous. Insurance required under this Section shall be with companies
rated A-V or better in Best's Insurance Guide, and which are authorized to transact
business in the State of Washington. No insurance policy shall be cancelled or
reduced in coverage and each such policy shall provide that it is not subject to
cancellation or a reduction in coverage except after thirty (30) days prior written
notice to Landlord. At Landlord's option, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord upon
commencement of the Lease and from time to time thereafter, copies of the
insurance policies or certificates of insurance and copies of endorsements required
by this Section. In no event shall the limit of such policies be considered as limiting
the liability of Tenant under this Lease.

Page 20
d. Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant hereby release each other and any
other tenant, their agents or employees, from responsibility for, and waive their
entire claim of recovery for any loss or damage arising from any cause covered by
insurance required to be carried by each of them. Each party shall provide notice to
the insurance carrier or carriers of this mutual waiver of subrogation, and shall
cause its respective insurance carriers to waive all rights of subrogation against the
other. This waiver shall not apply to the extent of the deductible amounts to any
such policies or to the extent of liabilities exceeding the limits of such policies.
15. INDEMNIFICATION/HOLD HARMLESS
Tenant shall defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless against all liabilities,
damages, costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees, for personal injury, bodily injury
(including death) or property damage arising from any negligent or wrongful act or omission of
Tenant or Tenant's officers, contractors, licensees, subtenants, agents, servants, employees,
guests, invitees, or visitors on or around the Premises, or arising from any breach of this Lease
by Tenant. Tenant shall use legal counsel acceptable to Landlord in defense of any action
within Tenant's defense obligation. Landlord shall defend, indemnify and hold Tenant harmless
against all liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses, including attorneys' fees, for personal
injury, bodily injury (including death) or property damage arising from any negligent or
wrongful act or omission of Landlord or Landlord's officers, contractors, licensees, agents,
servants, employees, guests invitees or visitors on or around the Premises, or arising from any
breach of this Lease by Landlord. Landlord shall use legal counsel acceptable to Tenant in
defense of any action within Landlord's defense obligation. The provisions of this Section shall
survive expiration or termination of this Lease.
16. LIENS AND INSOLVENCY
Tenant shall keep the Premises and property in which the Premises are situated, free
from any liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished, or obligations incurred
by Tenant. Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from liability for any such liens
including, without limitation, liens arising from any Alterations. If a lien is filed against the
Premises by an person claiming by, through or under the Tenant, Tenant shall, upon request of
Landlord, at Tenant's expense, immediately furnish to Landlord a bond in form and amount
and issued by a surety satisfactory to Landlord, indemnifying Landlord and the Premises
against all liabilities, costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees, which Landlord could
reasonably incur as a result of such lien(s).
17. ASSIGNMENT
Tenant shall not assign, sublet, mortgage, encumber or otherwise transfer any interest
in this Lease (collectively referred to as a "Transfer") or any part of the Premises, without first
obtaining Landlord's written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No
Transfer shall relieve Tenant of any liability under this Lease notwithstanding Landlord's
consent to such Transfer. Consent to any such Transfer shall not operate as a waiver of the
necessity for Landlord's consent to any subsequent Transfer.
As a condition to Landlord's approval, if given, any potential assignee or sublessee
otherwise approved by Landlord shall assume all obligations of Tenant under this Lease and
shall be jointly and severally liable with Tenant and any guarantor, if required, for the payment
of Rent and performance of all terms of this Lease. In connection with any Transfer, Tenant
LEASE AGREEMENT— Page 6 of 15
(between the City of Kent and Perkins)
Page 21
shall provide Landlord with copies of all assignments, subleases and assumption instruments.
This Lease shall be assignable by Landlord without the consent of Tenant. In the event
of any transfer or transfers of Landlord's interest in the Premises, other than a transfer for
security purposes only, upon the assumption of this Lease by the transferee, Landlord shall be
automatically relieved of obligations and liabilities accruing from and after the date of such
transfer, except for any retained security deposit or prepaid rent, and Tenant shall attorn to
the transferee.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, on June 8, 2011, Landlord consented in writing to allow
Tenant to enter into a sublease agreement with the Kent Lions Club for a portion of the
Premises, and Landlord's consent for the sublease with the Kent Lions Club remains in effect
for this Lease.
18. DEFAULT
The following occurrences shall each be deemed an Event of Default:
a. Failure to Pay. Tenant fails to pay any sum, including Rent, due under this Lease
following fourteen (14) days written notice from Landlord of the failure to pay.
b. Vacation/Abandonment. Tenant vacates the Premises (defined as an absence for at
least fifteen (15) consecutive days without prior notice to Landlord), or Tenant
abandons the Premises (defined as an absence of five (5) days or more while Tenant is
in breach of some other term of this Lease). Tenant's vacation or abandonment of the
Premises shall not be subject to any notice or right to cure.
c. Insolvency. Tenant becomes insolvent, voluntarily or involuntarily bankrupt, or a
receiver, assignee or other liquidating officer is appointed for Tenant's business,
provided that in the event of any involuntary bankruptcy or other insolvency
proceedings, the existence of such proceeding shall constitute an Event of Default only
if such proceeding is not dismissed or vacated within sixty (60) days after its institution
or commencement.
d. Levy or Execution. Tenant's interest in this Lease or the Premises, or any part
thereof, is taken by execution or other process of law directed against Tenant, or is
taken upon or subjected to any attachment by any creditor of Tenant, if such
attachment is not discharged within fifteen (15) days after being levied.
e. Other Non-Monetary Defaults. Tenant breaches any agreement, term or covenant
of this Lease other than one requiring the payment of money and not otherwise
enumerated in this Section, and the breach continues for a period of thirty (30) days
after notice by Landlord to Tenant of the breach.
19. REMEDIES
Landlord shall have the following remedies upon an Event of Default. Landlord's rights
and remedies under this Lease shall be cumulative, and none shall exclude any other right or
remedy allowed by law.
a. Termination of Lease. If an Event of Default occurs, Landlord may terminate
Tenant's interest under the Lease by giving thirty (30) days written notice of
LEASE AGREEMENT- Page 7 of 15
(between the City of Kent and Perkins)
Page 22
termination from Landlord to Tenant. The Lease shall terminate on the date specified
in the notice of termination. Upon termination of this Lease, Tenant will remain liable
to Landlord for damages in an amount equal to the rent and other sums that would
have been owing by Tenant under this Lease for the balance of the Lease Term, less
the net proceeds, if any, of re-letting of the Premises by Landlord subsequent to the
termination, after deducting all Landlord's Reletting Expenses (as defined below).
Landlord shall be entitled to either collect damages from Tenant monthly on the days
on which rent or other amounts would have been payable under the Lease, or
alternatively, Landlord may accelerate Tenant's obligations under the Lease and recover
from Tenant: (1) unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of termination; (ii) the
amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until
the time the award exceeds the amount of rent loss that Tenant proves could
reasonably have been avoided; (iii) the amount by which the unpaid rent for the
balance of the Term of the Lease after the time of the award exceeds the amount of
rent loss that Tenant proves could reasonably be avoided (discounting such amount by
the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of the
award, plus 1%); and (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all
the detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform its obligations under
the Lease, or which in the ordinary course would be likely to result from the Event of
Default, including without limitation, Reletting Expenses described in the following
Section.
b. Re-Entry and Reletting. Landlord may continue this Lease in full force and effect,
and without demand or notice, re-enter and take possession of the Premises or any
part thereof, expel the Tenant from the Premises and anyone claiming through or under
the Tenant, and remove the personal property of either. Landlord may relet the
Premises, or any part of them, in Landlord's or Tenant's name for the account of
Tenant, for such period of time and at such other terms and conditions, as Landlord, in
its discretion, may determine. Landlord may collect and receive the rents for the
Premises. Re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord under this Section
shall not be construed as an election on Landlord's part to terminate this Lease, unless
a written notice of termination is given to Tenant. Landlord reserves the right following
any re-entry or reletting, or both, under this Section to exercise its right to terminate
the Lease. Tenant will pay Landlord the rent and other sums which would be payable
under this Lease if repossession had not occurred, less the net proceeds, if any, after
reletting the Premises, after deducting Landlord's Reletting Expenses. "Reletting
Expenses" is defined to include all expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with
reletting the Premises, including without limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage
commissions, attorneys' fees, remodeling and repair costs, costs for removing and
storing Tenant's property and equipment, and tenant improvements and rent
concessions granted by Landlord to any new Tenant, for a period of six (6) months
from date of default.
c. Waiver of Redemption Rights. Tenant, for itself, and on behalf of any and all
persons claiming through or under Tenant, including creditors of any kinds, hereby
waives and surrenders all rights and privileges which they may have under any present
or future law, to redeem the Premises or to have a continuance of this Lease for the
Lease Term, as it may have been extended.
d. Nonpayment of Additional Rent. All costs which Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord
pursuant to this Lease shall in the event of nonpayment be treated as if they were
payments of Rent, and Landlord shall have all the rights herein provided for in case of
nonpayment of Rent.
LEASE AGREEMENT— Page 8 of 15
(between the City of Kent and Perkins)
Page 23
e. Failure to Remove Property. If Tenant fails to remove any of its property from the
Premises at Landlord's request following an uncured Event of Default, Landlord may, at
its option, remove and store the property at Tenant's expense and risk. If Tenant does
not pay the storage costs within five (5) days of Landlord's request, Landlord may, at
its option, have any or all of such property sold at public or private sale (and Landlord
may become a purchaser at such sale), in such manner as Landlord deems proper,
upon written notice to Tenant. Landlord shall apply the proceeds of such sale: (i) to
the expense of such sale, including reasonable attorneys' fees actually incurred; (ii) to
the payment of the costs or charges for storing such property; (iii) to the payment of
any other sums of money which may then be or thereafter become due Landlord from
Tenant under any of the terms hereof; and (iv) the balance, if any to Tenant. Nothing
in this Section shall limit Landlord's right to sell Tenant's personal property as permitted
by law or to foreclose Landlord's lien for unpaid rent.
20, HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that to the best of Landlord's knowledge,
there is no "Hazardous Material" (as defined below) on, in or under the Premises as of the
Commencement Date, excepts as otherwise disclosed to Tenant in writing before the execution
of this Lease.
Tenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Material to be brought upon, kept or
used in or about, or disposed of on the Premises by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors
or invitees, except in strict compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws,
regulations, codes and ordinances
As used herein, the term "Hazardous Material" means any hazardous, dangerous, toxic
or harmful substance, material or waste including biomedical waste which is or becomes
regulated by any local governmental authority, the State of Washington or the United States
government due to its potential harm to the health, safety or welfare of humans or the
environment. The provisions of this Section shall survive expiration or termination of this
Lease.

22. NON-WAIVER
The failure of Landlord to insist upon strict performance of any of the covenants and
agreements of this Lease, or to exercise any option herein conferred in any one or more
instances, shall not be construed to be a waiver or relinquishment of the covenants and
agreements of this Lease, or any other covenant or agreements, but the same shall be and
remain in full force and effect. The acceptance by Landlord of Rent or other amounts due by
Tenant hereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any breach by Tenant preceding such
acceptance.
23. COSTS AND ATTORNEYS FEES
If by reason of any default on the part of Tenant it becomes necessary for Landlord to
use an attorney, or if Tenant shall bring any action for any relief against Landlord, declaratory
or otherwise, arising out of this Lease, each party shall pay its own legal costs and attorney
fees, including costs and fees for any appeals.
24. HEIRS AND SUCCESSORS

this Lease shall bind the heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and
assigns of any or all of the parties.
25. HOLDOVER
If Tenant shall, without the written consent of Landlord, holdover after the expiration or
termination of this Lease, such tenancy shall be a month to month tenancy, terminable as
provided by the laws of the State of Washington. During such tenancy, the rate of rental shall
remain equal to the rate last payable under this Lease.
26. SUBORDINATION
This Lease shall automatically be subordinate to any mortgage or deed of trust created
by Landlord which is no existing or hereafter placed upon the Premises including any advances,
interest, modifications, renewals, replacements or extensions ('Landlord's Mortgage"),
provided the holder of any Landlord's Mortgage or any person(s) acquiring the Premises at any
sale or other proceeding under any such Landlord's Mortgage shall elect to continue this Lease
in full force and effect. Tenant shall attorn to the holder of any Landlord's Mortgage or any
person(s) acquiring the Premises at any sale or other proceeding under any Landlord's
Mortgage provided such person(s) assume the obligations of Landlord under this Lease.
Tenant shall promptly and in no event later than fifteen (15) days after request execute,
acknowledge and deliver documents which the holder of any Landlord's Mortgage may
reasonably require as further evidence of this subordination and attornment. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Tenant's obligations under this Section are conditioned on the holder of each
Landlord's Mortgage and each person acquiring the Premises at any sale or other proceeding
under any such Landlord's Mortgage not disturbing Tenant's occupancy and other rights under
this Lease, so long as no uncured Event of Default exists.

2014 First Quarter Report
Recreation - Kent Commons
Program / Service Highlights
The Kent Commons Community Center offers a safe and inviting meeting
space for residents creating inclusiveness and connections in the downtown
area. The social benefit the facility provides is evident in the record visitor
count numbers for the first quarter in 2014. The facility had 77,583 visitors.
One of the goals for the Recreation Division is to bring neighborhoods and
families together which unites the community. The volunteer program helps
with this connection. Volunteers provide an important role in Youth Sports
Programs. There were over 175 volunteers that were involved this quarter
that logged in over 4,750 total hours. Many programs could not happen
without the help, commitment, and involvement of the community. With the
support of volunteers we are able to provide community based programs for
kids in their neighborhood and schools.
Parents appreciate the support the Parks Department provides in
programming that improves health and strengthens self-esteem in the youth
of the community. Youth Basketball and Youth Track this quarter involved
2,663 youth. These community and neighborhood based programs promote
diversity and inclusiveness in the city while providing social and personal
benefits for the youth involved.
The diversity in our community is evident in the programs offered this
quarter. There were over 500 program sections available to residents for
improving health, education, and fitness.

dance bands, decorations, and desserts. The dance was very well attended.
Admission to the dance was by donation only to benefit the senior lunch
program. The next dance will be a spring prom in April.
"Elvis at The Place," dinner and music at the Senior Center was a sold out
event. Pre-entertainment workshops focused on the changes in Social
Security, Medicare, and the Affordable Care act. An appetizer, as well as a
dinner of burger and chips was available. Danny Vernon is a well-known Elvis
impersonator and a crowd favorite. The event was free and sponsored by
Stafford Suites and Radcliffe Place.

great skiing in the Methow Valley, Mission Ridge, Sun Peaks, and Mt.
Bachelor.
The Senior Center's readers' theater group, the "Knot Quite Write Players",
began tryouts for this year's season. They will be presenting some original

supportive that I have regained confidence I had lost and now have the

numbers of teens interested in healthy nutrition and physical fitness.
Totem Late Night is averaging 85 teens every Friday night.
KPCC continues to be very popular offering mentoring, sports, volunteering,
girls groups and special events. The highlight was the Sarafina play that the
students and volunteers put on paying tribute to Nelson Mandela for Black
History Month.
The community center now has membership cards that each student is given
to allow them to attend the program. Registration is free, but it has added a
"club" type feel to the program and teens love it.
After School Energy and our C-21 sites have parents raving that we are
encouraging their children to be physically active; many have mentioned
their child rarely gets up and active outside of the time they spend at After
School Energy. The kids often express it is their favorite thing to do every
week & look forward to
learning and playing new games every week. We have played Pac Man Tag,
Watch Your Back, Danish Rounders, Shipwreck, Star Wars, Ice Man, Living
Forest, Human Pinball, Capture the Flag, and Car Keys.

Cultural Programs
Program / Service Highlights
Spotlight Series
California Guitar Trio + Montreal Guitar Trio kicked off 2014 with a
performance on January 24 at Kent-Meridian PAC. An enthusiastic crowd of
177 attended. Attendance was likely affected by the fact that the popular
"You, Me, We" event was held the same night. The artists received an
immediate standing ovation and staff heard overwhelmingly positive
feedback. The six guitarists also conducted an educational outreach activity
with 25 guitar students at K-M High School.
"Churchill," a one man show starring Edmund Shaff sold out the Senior
Center Social Hall on Friday, February 21. A crowd of 213 people enjoyed the
dramatic and humorous historical piece. Holding this show at the Senior
Center was an experiment to bring a performance to a venue more familiar
to the target audience and keep ticket prices low. The effort was successful.
Dallas Children's Theater brought a live stage version of the popular E.B.
White book "Stuart Little" to Spotlight Series on Saturday, March 8. 102
people attended.
Alpin Hong returned to Kent for educational activities and a public
performance, March 19-21. Alpin's "From Movies to Games, Classically
Trained" assembly delighted a total of more than 600 students at Meeker
Middle School, Cedar Heights Middle School; and Lake Youngs Elementary.
Additionally, Alpin worked with approximately 100 band, orchestra and choir

students at Kent-Meridian High School throughout the week. The week's
activities culminated in a public performance on Friday, March 21 that
featured Alpin, Arries McQuarter (the K-M student Alpin made a special
connection with last year), and a combined ensemble of all the K-M music
students. An crowd of 225 enjoyed the performance.
Public Art Maintenance
The Arts Commission voted to deaccession "Sentinel Kent" by Valdis Zarins in
February of 2014. The sculpture is located in front of the Kent Library and is
in need of significant on-going maintenance. Staff contacted the artist's
family and they are planning to recover the metal parts of the art work. City
Maintenance staff will demolish and dispose of the concrete. Arts Commission
staff is currently working with Library staff to finalize details of the removal.
"Millennium Plaza" by Laura Haddad at the Kent Commons will also be
revamped in the coming weeks. Staff worked with the artist to develop
changes to the piece to address on-going trip-hazard issues.
i
Gallery
Oil and acrylic paintings by Ricardo Campagnoli were displayed in the
Centennial Center Gallery during January and February. Spray paintings by
Joseph Steininger are on display during April and May.
Kent Kids' Arts Day
The 27th annual Kent Kids' Arts Day was held at the Kent Commons on Sat.
March 1. Attendance was slightly down this year with approximately 1,300
people attending. Hand-on art projects and performances by community and
school groups kept kids and families busy throughout the day. Lions Club-
sponsored vouchers for free admission were distributed through the Kent
School district, daycares and social service agencies. Of the 1,000 vouchers
issued, 97 (10%) were redeemed.
Kent Student Art Walk
Student artwork was on display in the Centennial Center Gallery as part of
the Student Art Exhibit, March 10-21. Twenty-one schools and 20 local
businesses (12 from Kent Station, 8 from historic downtown) participated in
the 20th Annual Student Art Exhibit. Approximately 250 people visited the
Centennial Center for the reception on March 14th. There is strong support
for this program from students, parents, and teachers.

Program / Service Highlights
Downtown core
The Downtown core will see the return of hanging baskets in a limited
number for 2014. Staff is working with the Kent Downtown Partnership (KDP)
to manage the program in a pilot effort this year. The KDP will purchase the
baskets and Park Staff will maintain the baskets. The fountain at Town
Square plaza is entering another year of operation and is showing a bit of
wear and tear. Staff is focused on replacing/repairing the system for full
operation as the weather improves. The pond a Kaibara received it regular
clean out and in the process the hundreds of resident fish were relocated to
temporary quarters until they were returned at the completion of work.
Issues with litter and garbage continue in the downtown core requiring
continuous attention by staff.
Green Kent/Community/Volunteer events
The annual Christmas tree recycling event hosted by the City of Kent and
sponsored by the Boy Scouts was again a success with over 200 yards of
chips/mulch being produced for use in the parks on trails and in natural
areas. Planning is underway for a full year of support for Green Kent and the
work of the Stewards with a focus on training of Stewards as well as
improved tracking of hours and restoration work accomplished.
Athletic complexes
The athletic complexes are being prepared for the 2014 season. One unusual
event was the inspection of the Osprey nest at Kent Memorial Park. The nest
was inspected for size and composition so that it may be tracked. Portions of
the nest are woven into the wiring for the lights creating a concern as well as
the overall weight of the nest. Contracts are prepared for relamping of ball
field lighting at KMP and Wilson playfield. The operational plans are in place
to accommodate the closure of Wilson playfield for renovation/replacement of
the turf surface with details being worked out pending final schedules.

Neighborhood and Community Parks
Implementation of a centralized irrigation system continues with Lake
Meridian as the next site coming online. Lake Meridian was chosen as a site
both because of the amount of water consumption and size of the system
and also because of vandalism to the control wires that essentially required
retracing and reconnecting all of the wiring. Playground repairs and
replenishment of surfacing is underway to be prepared for the upcoming
summer season of use.
Maintenance Highlights
We are very happy to welcome Jan Applegate to our team. Jan is our new
Account Tech and central hub of communication. Our seasonal hiring is also
underway with several new and many familiar faces returning for 2014. The
Plant the Planet tree and ecology education program partnership between
Public Works, Parks and the Kent School District had our Street Tree staff
busy working with students and planting another generation of trees. The
last phase of renovations to the Parks shop at Russell Road is underway with
improvements to the restroom facilities and the women's locker room. The
work is being done by Park and Facility staff as well as contract. Staff
continue to work on updating the lighting inventory for the entire system as
we continue to assess the current condition of all major park assets.
