Parks and Human Services Committee Meeting
May 15, 2014
Council members present: Chair Debbie Ranniger, Dennis Higgins, and Brenda
Fincher
Call to order: Chair D. Ranniger called the meeting to order at 5:14 p.m.
1. Minutes dated April 17, 2014 - Approve
Committeemember D. Higgins MOVED to approve the minutes dated April
17, 2014. Councilmember B. Fincher SECONDED. The motion PASSED 3-0.
2. 2014 First Quarter Fee-in-lieu Funds - Accept
Hope Gibson, Manager of Parks Planning and Development summarized the fee-in- - -
lieu funds for the first quarter of 2014. Between January and March 2014, the City
of Kent received a total of $16,875.95 from developers who voluntarily paid fees in
lieu of dedicating park land to mitigate the development of single family homes in
one subdivision.
111 $12,000.00 from High Country Malik Ridge LLC of Malik Ridge Plat for
Springwood Park.
® $4,875.95 from JD 45 LLC of Villa Siena Short Plat for Clark Lake.
Ordinance 2975 requires developers to dedicate park and open space land in
proximity to new construction sites or to pay "fee-in-lieu" funds. The fee is based
on assessed land values.
Jeff added that it is the parks department preference that developers dedicate land
to onsite recreation but, in cases when the project is so small that the net size of
the space would not be a benefit, or the development is in close enough proximity
to an existing park for residents to walk, we accept fee in lieu funds.
Committeemember B. Fincher MOVED to recommend accepting $16,875.95
for first quarter 2014 fee-in-lieu funds and authorizing the amendment to
the community parks reinvestment budget for future expenditures of funds
in project budgets. Committeemember D. Higgins SECONDED. The motion
PASSED 3-0.

3 Recreation and Conservation office Grant Application Resolutions -
Adopt
Hope Gibson shared some background on the projects going to Recreation and
Conservation Office (RCO) for funding. They were part of the park asset list
discussed by the citizen's group assembled a couple years ago to review and
prioritize parks. The report assisted the council in deciding whether to take a Park
Bond to the voters. Committeemember B. Fincher was a member of that group.
H. Gibson explained that staff pursues funding for park development and/or
acquisition of property through the Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) as the
appropriate funding cycles are available. If awarded by RCO, the grant dollars
would help to fund three projects that have been identified as top priority projects.
The projects include:
• Russell Road Athletic Field Conversion - Washington Wildlife and
Recreation Program (WWRP) - Local Parks
• Lake Meridian Dock Redevelopment - Land and Water Conservation Fund
(LWCF)
• Lake Meridian Dock Replacement - Washington Wildlife and Recreation
Program (WWRP) - Water Access
- • Van Doren's Landing Park Expansion --Washington Wildlife andRecreation -
Program (WWRP) - Local Parks
Chair Ranniger clarified that RCO is the Recreation and Conservation Office, a state
granting agency where selections for granting are made when certain criteria is met
and points are accumulated for a proposed project. J. Watling provided additional
information and the timeline for the proposed projects. RCO will score these
projects this year and they will be confirmed in next year's legislative session and
budget.
J. Watling summarized the three projects. Two of the grant applications pertain to
the Lake Meridian dock. The projects together are very expensive but the dock is a
key asset within Lake Meridian Park. Another project pertains to a high priority
need for community sports fields. This one is at Russell Road and converts the field
to an all synthetic turf that will create a year round multi-use facility instead of the
seasonal field it is now. The third item at Van Doren's is part of our Green River
corridor strategy and part of our goal for expansion of the park. It creates a better
coordination of the Green River Natural Resources Area and the levee redesign
work with the King County Flood Control.
J. Watling confirmed to Committeemember D. Higgins that Russell Road field does
have lights.
Committeemember B. Fincher explained how the fields are used only six months
out of the year and installing synthetic turf would allow usage to twelve months out
of the year, thus maximizing the use of the park by making it more available year-
round.
Page 2
Page 3
J. Watling confirmed what Committeemember B. Fincher said, adding that by
maximizing the existing amenities and adding the synthetic turf, we will create a
more sustainable park.
Committeemember D. Higgins MOVED to recommend council adopt the four
resolutions authorizing the submittal of grant applications to the
Recreation and Conservation Office to assist in funding three top-priority
projects. Committeemember B. Fincher SECONDED. The motion PASSED 3-
0.
Chair D. Ranniger asked if staff is looking ahead at a replacement plan for these
synthetic turf parks and possibly using park fees to pay for that investment. J.
Watling agreed, telling the committee to expect a budget request for the
2015/2016 biennial budget that asks for a portion of the user fees be dedicated to
the capital fund to support a turf replacement plan.
4 Human Services Funding Application Process - INFO ONLY
Chair D. Ranniger made the introduction to this item saying that she had requested
this topic be placed on the agenda because the city is in the middle of the granting
process. She wanted staff to educate the community on this procedure and explain
the importance of human service funding.
Merina Hanson, Human Services Senior Coordinator presented a-review of thehow -the application review and funding process works. A Request for Proposals (RFP)
process is conducted every two years. The funds for this cycle will be allocated in
2015 and 2016. The city is part of a collaborative effort for the Human Services
funding process. There are sixteen cities involved in the shared online application
process called Share One Act. Applicants are provided workshops, technical
support, one on one, in person assistance, as well as an open door work shop
session for application assistance.
The city received a total of ninety-four applications. There was a total of $2M in
requests and there are $1.5M in available funds. The process has staff reviewing
the applications for a quick completeness check and then they review for technical
appropriateness. After that, the Commission is assigned half of the applications to
review - all done online. They first review for conflicts with users. They can select
the points they have assigned to all the general categories and insert comments at
that point. They look for the best fit for Kent's perspective and what services meet
the needs of Kent. They finalize by assigning a score and submitting their results.
May 29 is the first half-day review session for the Commission and in June a full day
is dedicated to sorting out the details and looking for balanced funding on a
continuum of priorities. In collaboration with the Commission, staff reviews the
scores, and if the points are off more than 10 points, discussion follows on their
ratings. A high rating doesn't necessarily mean the applicant will be funded. For
funding, the Commission and staff look for duplicative services, history with the
City of Kent, performance, billing history, if the services the agency provided
matched the actual services, their track record, and cost effectiveness.
Page 3
Page 4
Committeemember B. Fincher asked if the city funds requests for less than
$25,000. M. Hanson responded yes on occasion, adding that Kent prefers not to
fund programs under $10,000 because of the cost of contracting and managing the
contracts.
Chair D. Ranniger asked how a new agency gets traction in order to be competitive
for funding. M. Hanson responded that the agency needs to be in existence for two
years with the usual requirements before they can be funded. The city does not
generally receive applications from newer agencies because it's such a process to
apply.
J. Watling thanked the work that Merina and Katherin have done for the city and
the other agencies. The Share One application has allowed all of the cities involved,
the benefit of simplifying the application process, which was not an easy task.
K. Johnson said that Share One is a complete grant management package. The
agencies can use one application for multiple cities. It facilitates comparisons across
the network. This system gives the cities the ability to review the applicant's history
and track record with other cities. And, granting agencies can track information on
applicants across King County, not just in the Kent area.
Committeemember D. Higgins reflected that being part of the Human Services
Commission for the first time this year he has been impressed and reassured to be
a part of this, working along side everyone and seeing the hard work of staff. The
community shouldhave confidence in the Human Services Commissionand staff.
S. Formation of a Parks and Recreation Commission - INFO ONLY
Parks, Recreation and Community Services Director Jeff Watling provided
information on the formation of a Parks and Recreation Commission. He began by
saying that the commission would consist of community members who would act as
an advisory body and a voice affecting strategic thinking, centered around our park
system.
The draft Ordinance adopting the Parks and Recreation Commission was reviewed.
The goal of staff is to bring a completed Ordinance back to the Committee on June
19. The terms of the ordinance are standard. A sixteen person member commission
would hold three year terms with a residency requirement for at least ten of the
members. We want a degree of flexibility for reappointment, so residency applies to
business owners and user group representation. For example within the Kent
School District, but maybe not within the Kent city limits. J. Watling informed the
committee that any reference to the Kent Parks Foundation will be removed from
the Ordinance. Staff doesn't see it advisable right now for the Foundation to be a
part of the Commission. An important priority however, will be to review how the
Parks Foundation will be related to the Commission.
Chair D. Ranniger was concerned with the wording in the membership section
relative to the Parks Foundation. J. Watling reiterated that any reference to the
Foundation will be stricken from the Ordinance.
Page 4
Page 5
Committeemember B. Fincher asked if the issue with involving the Parks
Foundation was because of its 501c3 status and blending that with the city? J.
Watling confirmed it is part of the issue we are working through.
Chair D. Ranniger suggested an ex officio position on the Commission for a Parks
Foundation member.
Committeemember D. Higgins asked about membership on the Kent Parks
Foundation. J. Watling clarified that as a 501c3 the Parks Foundation Board is a
separate entity from the city and appoints its own members.
Committeemember D. Higgins asked about appointments by the mayor and council
being done differently. J. Watling responded that the intention is to match the Arts
Commission and Human Services appointments, to be consistent.
Committeemember B. Fincher asked how the school student is selected and if there
would be an application process. J. Watling said that staff wants to initiate a
recruitment process through an application/interview process.
Chair D. Ranniger spoke to the importance of the link between the Commission and
Foundation and how it is important for communicating goals and expectations. In
particular, ensuring fund raising efforts are in line with department needs. J.
Watling appreciated her comments and agrees with maintaining a key relationship
between a 501c3 and the Commission.
Committeemember D. Higgins asked about the timeline. J. Watling said that the
final Ordinance would be on the June 19 Parks and Human Services Committee
agenda with more detailed format. Recruitment could be completed over the
summer and kick off in the fall.
6. Director's Report - INFO ONLY
Jeff Watling, Director of Parks, Recreation and Community Services, informed the
committee of noteworthy information and upcoming events.
J. Watling introduced Jay Hill, Program Coordinator at Kent Commons and
announcing that the Elementary School Track Program just wrapped up last
weekend, along with the Junior Olympics. J. Watling noted Jay Hill's coordination
skills in these events. The elementary school track program has been in existence
for 51 years - in part, due to the huge success of our relationship with the Kent
School District. There were 26 of the 28 elementary schools represented this year
with 1,437 participants. And, there were 25 scholarships through the Access to
Recreation Program.
At the same time, Junior Olympics was going on at French Field last weekend. J.
Watling complimented Jay on doing such a great job on putting this program as
well and highlighted his creativity in programming that allows many to participate.
Commenting that by looking at the faces of the participants, you can see how
important and fulfilling this program is to the community.
Page 5
Page 6
Jay Hill wanted to stress the support of the Kent School District with these
programs. It is always emphasized that the kids are participating for their schools.
All of the students get their own t-shirts in their school colors. This sports program
is not just about the good athletes, but every kid is encouraged to attend. Since it's
open to all kids, no one is turned away and sometimes it's the only sports program
that the kids get to participate in. In order to get as many kids as possible to attend
the track meet, Jay and one of the coaches went to Birch Creek to gather
registrations, and they ended up with 135 kids participating in the event this year.
Chair D. Ranniger commented that she has thoroughly enjoyed attending the event
in the past.
Committeemember D. Higgins shared that both of his kids have participated in the
event.
Committeemember B. Fincher said she enjoyed seeing the families supporting their
kids and the students in t-shirts, identifiable by their school colors.
Summer Playground
The Summer Playground Program will be at five sites, West Fenwick Park, Morrill
Meadows Park, Chestnut Ridge, and at Tot Lots One and Two. The program runs
June 25 through August 16 from 10:30 to 4:30, including free sack lunches. Brian
Steward, Program Coordinator, anticipates approximately 9,000 visits to the
program over the summer months.
This year, the "Let's Read Program" with King County Library has been incorporated
into the summer programming to insure there is no lapse in reading over the
summer break. For the second year, the city will partner with the Community
Center for Education Results (CCR).
Wilson Playfields
The Wilson Turf Replacement Project is underway and on time. The fields will be
open in August.
Renovation of Council Chambers Space
Facilities and IT are meeting to discuss an update to the Audio / Visual equipment
in both Chambers East and West. Facilities staff, with an architect's assistance, will
examine the entire space with the goal of reprogramming it to create a more
flexible area with better efficiency and function.
Chair D. Ranniger adjourned the meeting at 6:00 p.m.

HOME-ONLY Agreement Cities
Dear :
I am writing to you regarding the continuing participation of your city in the King County HOME
Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) Consortium and the Regional Affordable Housing Program
(RAHP)Consortium.
King County Code,Title 24, Chapter 13 (KCC 24.13)sets out the framework for King County to enter
into consortia relationships through interlocal cooperation agreements to partner in the distribution and
administration of funds made available through the United States Department of Housing and Urban - --
Development(HUD), and affordable housing funds established in Section 36,22.178 of the Revised
Code of Washington(RCW).
Pursuant to KCC 24.13, it is the policy of King County to partner and form urban county consortia with
the cities and towns in King County outside the City of Seattlelrl for the HUD-administered HOME
program.King County also partners with all cities and towns in King County for RAHP document
recording surcharge fee funds for affordable housing, governed by RCW 36.22.178,which requires the
County to enter interlocal agreements.
The King County Housing and Community Development Program administers the HOME and RAHP
Consortia funds on behalf of the participating city members, and staffs the interjurisdictional Joint
Recommendations Committee(JRC)of the consortia. The JRC reviews and recommends policy matters
and project selections concerning consortia funds to the King County Executive.
HOME Consortium Agreement
As a city that receives CDBG funds directly from HUD, and a prior signatory to the HOME Consortium
Agreement for the 2012-2014 period of qualification,your city is eligible to continue participating in the
King County HOME Consortium through a new Agreement for the 2015-2017 period of qualification.
In reviewing HUD's most recent"Notice of Procedures for Designation of Consortia as a Participating
Jurisdiction for the HOME Program"with our attorney,King County has discovered that there is some
technical language required by HUD that must be added to the King County HOME Consortium
t'l As a large metropolitan city,Seattle receives an independent allocation of CDBG,ESG and HOME Program funds directly
from HUD.
Page 10
May 14, 2014
Page 2 of 3
Agreement. This language is beneficial to the Consortium in that it will allow King County to make
amendments for technical HUD requirements without all of the participating cities needing to get
council approval and re-sign the HOME Agreement in the future. Amendments by King County will
only be allowed for HU D-required technical changes and not for other amendments that the City(s)and
County may negotiate.
In addition,we are adding a new member, the City of Kirkland,to the HOME Consortium for the 2015-
2017 period of qualification. Kirkland is eligible to become a Joint Agreement City or a separate
entitlement, and is electing to become a Joint Agreement city and to join the HOME Consortium with
that new status.
As a unit of general local government eligible for continuing participation in the HOME Urban County
Consortia,we must inform you that if your city chooses to remain with the King County HOME
Consortium,your city will participate in the HOME program as a part of the King County HOME
Consortium, and may only have access to the Consortium's HOME formula grant amount. This does not
preclude the Consortium or a unit of government participating in the Consortium from applying for
HOME funds from the state, if the state were to allow such an application.
Benefits of Continuing Participation in the King County HOME Consortium
• Your city, and affordable housing developers serving your city,may apply for HOME finds to
- - help meet-locally-identified-affordable-housing needs,including affordable rental housing and
first-time homeownership programs.
• Your city, and affordable housing developers serving your city,may apply for HOME funds to
support the rehabilitation and preservation of affordable housing in your jurisdiction.
• Your city can participate in the city/county staff work group that develops recommendations for
the inter jurisdictional JRC on specific projects to receive HOME funds, as well as program
guidelines.
RAHP Agreement
The RAHP Agreement governs the administration of funds for housing affordable to households at or
below 50 percent of AMI throughout King County. The RAHP Agreement has an automatic renewal
clause that allows it to renew for subsequent three-year periods, and is renewing without changes for the
2015-2017 period. Your city signed a RAHP Agreement for the 2012-2014 period,thus your agreement
will automatically renew and you do not have to take any further action.The RAHP Guidelines are
updated through the JRC as needed, and will be updated during 2014. Staff from your city is invited to
attend the meetings this spring that will culminate in JRC recommendations.

HOME Agreement Next Steams
If your city desires to continue to participate in the King County HOME Consortium, your city must
sign the enclosed HOME Agreement for the 2015-2017 period of qualification,which has been revised
to include the HUD-required technical elements, and is included in this packet as Attachment A.
If your city does not desire to continue participation in the King County HOME Consortium for 2015-
2017,you must notify both HUD and King County in writing, at the addresses below, no later than June
13,2014.A decision to be excluded from participation in the consortia would be effective for the entire
three-year period of 2015-2017, unless your city were to specifically request to be included in a
subsequent year for the remainder of the three-year period.
Your letters indicating that your city does not desire to continue participating in the King County
HOME Consortium must be mailed to both King County and HUD at the following addresses:

TO: Kent City Council Parks and Human Services Committee
FROM: Jeff Watling, Director of Parks, Recreation and Community Services
SUBJECT: Ordinance to Establish a Parks and Recreation Commission - Adopt
MOTION: Move to recommend Council adopt an Ordinance to establish a
Parks and Recreation Commission.
SUMMARY: The parks, trails and programs provided by the City of Kent touch the
lives of tens of thousands of residents each year. Effective delivery of those
services and stewardship of those public spaces relies on direct communication with
our residents and customers. Although this communication happens in a wide
variety of ways, another means for more formal interaction would be through a
Parks and Recreation Commission.
Through previous discussions it has been determined that the Mayor, City Council
and Department Staff all concur that the formation of a Kent Parks and Recreation
Commission is needed and will be an effective way for residents to interact directly
with staff on numerous strategic planning efforts that influence the public parks and
recreation system.

Parks and Human Services Committee Meeting
May 15, 2014
Council members present: Chair Debbie Ranniger, Dennis Higgins, and Brenda
Fincher
Call to order: Chair D. Ranniger called the meeting to order at 5:14 p.m.
1. Minutes dated April 17, 2014 - Approve
Committeemember D. Higgins MOVED to approve the minutes dated April
17, 2014. Councilmember B. Fincher SECONDED. The motion PASSED 3-0.
2. 2014 First Quarter Fee-in-lieu Funds - Accept
Hope Gibson, Manager of Parks Planning and Development summarized the fee-in- - -
lieu funds for the first quarter of 2014. Between January and March 2014, the City
of Kent received a total of $16,875.95 from developers who voluntarily paid fees in
lieu of dedicating park land to mitigate the development of single family homes in
one subdivision.
111 $12,000.00 from High Country Malik Ridge LLC of Malik Ridge Plat for
Springwood Park.
® $4,875.95 from JD 45 LLC of Villa Siena Short Plat for Clark Lake.
Ordinance 2975 requires developers to dedicate park and open space land in
proximity to new construction sites or to pay "fee-in-lieu" funds. The fee is based
on assessed land values.
Jeff added that it is the parks department preference that developers dedicate land
to onsite recreation but, in cases when the project is so small that the net size of
the space would not be a benefit, or the development is in close enough proximity
to an existing park for residents to walk, we accept fee in lieu funds.
Committeemember B. Fincher MOVED to recommend accepting $16,875.95
for first quarter 2014 fee-in-lieu funds and authorizing the amendment to
the community parks reinvestment budget for future expenditures of funds
in project budgets. Committeemember D. Higgins SECONDED. The motion
PASSED 3-0.

3 Recreation and Conservation office Grant Application Resolutions -
Adopt
Hope Gibson shared some background on the projects going to Recreation and
Conservation Office (RCO) for funding. They were part of the park asset list
discussed by the citizen's group assembled a couple years ago to review and
prioritize parks. The report assisted the council in deciding whether to take a Park
Bond to the voters. Committeemember B. Fincher was a member of that group.
H. Gibson explained that staff pursues funding for park development and/or
acquisition of property through the Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) as the
appropriate funding cycles are available. If awarded by RCO, the grant dollars
would help to fund three projects that have been identified as top priority projects.
The projects include:
• Russell Road Athletic Field Conversion - Washington Wildlife and
Recreation Program (WWRP) - Local Parks
• Lake Meridian Dock Redevelopment - Land and Water Conservation Fund
(LWCF)
• Lake Meridian Dock Replacement - Washington Wildlife and Recreation
Program (WWRP) - Water Access
- • Van Doren's Landing Park Expansion --Washington Wildlife andRecreation -
Program (WWRP) - Local Parks
Chair Ranniger clarified that RCO is the Recreation and Conservation Office, a state
granting agency where selections for granting are made when certain criteria is met
and points are accumulated for a proposed project. J. Watling provided additional
information and the timeline for the proposed projects. RCO will score these
projects this year and they will be confirmed in next year's legislative session and
budget.
J. Watling summarized the three projects. Two of the grant applications pertain to
the Lake Meridian dock. The projects together are very expensive but the dock is a
key asset within Lake Meridian Park. Another project pertains to a high priority
need for community sports fields. This one is at Russell Road and converts the field
to an all synthetic turf that will create a year round multi-use facility instead of the
seasonal field it is now. The third item at Van Doren's is part of our Green River
corridor strategy and part of our goal for expansion of the park. It creates a better
coordination of the Green River Natural Resources Area and the levee redesign
work with the King County Flood Control.
J. Watling confirmed to Committeemember D. Higgins that Russell Road field does
have lights.
Committeemember B. Fincher explained how the fields are used only six months
out of the year and installing synthetic turf would allow usage to twelve months out
of the year, thus maximizing the use of the park by making it more available year-
round.
Page 2
Page 3
J. Watling confirmed what Committeemember B. Fincher said, adding that by
maximizing the existing amenities and adding the synthetic turf, we will create a
more sustainable park.
Committeemember D. Higgins MOVED to recommend council adopt the four
resolutions authorizing the submittal of grant applications to the
Recreation and Conservation Office to assist in funding three top-priority
projects. Committeemember B. Fincher SECONDED. The motion PASSED 3-
0.
Chair D. Ranniger asked if staff is looking ahead at a replacement plan for these
synthetic turf parks and possibly using park fees to pay for that investment. J.
Watling agreed, telling the committee to expect a budget request for the
2015/2016 biennial budget that asks for a portion of the user fees be dedicated to
the capital fund to support a turf replacement plan.
4 Human Services Funding Application Process - INFO ONLY
Chair D. Ranniger made the introduction to this item saying that she had requested
this topic be placed on the agenda because the city is in the middle of the granting
process. She wanted staff to educate the community on this procedure and explain
the importance of human service funding.
Merina Hanson, Human Services Senior Coordinator presented a-review of thehow -the application review and funding process works. A Request for Proposals (RFP)
process is conducted every two years. The funds for this cycle will be allocated in
2015 and 2016. The city is part of a collaborative effort for the Human Services
funding process. There are sixteen cities involved in the shared online application
process called Share One Act. Applicants are provided workshops, technical
support, one on one, in person assistance, as well as an open door work shop
session for application assistance.
The city received a total of ninety-four applications. There was a total of $2M in
requests and there are $1.5M in available funds. The process has staff reviewing
the applications for a quick completeness check and then they review for technical
appropriateness. After that, the Commission is assigned half of the applications to
review - all done online. They first review for conflicts with users. They can select
the points they have assigned to all the general categories and insert comments at
that point. They look for the best fit for Kent's perspective and what services meet
the needs of Kent. They finalize by assigning a score and submitting their results.
May 29 is the first half-day review session for the Commission and in June a full day
is dedicated to sorting out the details and looking for balanced funding on a
continuum of priorities. In collaboration with the Commission, staff reviews the
scores, and if the points are off more than 10 points, discussion follows on their
ratings. A high rating doesn't necessarily mean the applicant will be funded. For
funding, the Commission and staff look for duplicative services, history with the
City of Kent, performance, billing history, if the services the agency provided
matched the actual services, their track record, and cost effectiveness.
Page 3
Page 4
Committeemember B. Fincher asked if the city funds requests for less than
$25,000. M. Hanson responded yes on occasion, adding that Kent prefers not to
fund programs under $10,000 because of the cost of contracting and managing the
contracts.
Chair D. Ranniger asked how a new agency gets traction in order to be competitive
for funding. M. Hanson responded that the agency needs to be in existence for two
years with the usual requirements before they can be funded. The city does not
generally receive applications from newer agencies because it's such a process to
apply.
J. Watling thanked the work that Merina and Katherin have done for the city and
the other agencies. The Share One application has allowed all of the cities involved,
the benefit of simplifying the application process, which was not an easy task.
K. Johnson said that Share One is a complete grant management package. The
agencies can use one application for multiple cities. It facilitates comparisons across
the network. This system gives the cities the ability to review the applicant's history
and track record with other cities. And, granting agencies can track information on
applicants across King County, not just in the Kent area.
Committeemember D. Higgins reflected that being part of the Human Services
Commission for the first time this year he has been impressed and reassured to be
a part of this, working along side everyone and seeing the hard work of staff. The
community shouldhave confidence in the Human Services Commissionand staff.
S. Formation of a Parks and Recreation Commission - INFO ONLY
Parks, Recreation and Community Services Director Jeff Watling provided
information on the formation of a Parks and Recreation Commission. He began by
saying that the commission would consist of community members who would act as
an advisory body and a voice affecting strategic thinking, centered around our park
system.
The draft Ordinance adopting the Parks and Recreation Commission was reviewed.
The goal of staff is to bring a completed Ordinance back to the Committee on June
19. The terms of the ordinance are standard. A sixteen person member commission
would hold three year terms with a residency requirement for at least ten of the
members. We want a degree of flexibility for reappointment, so residency applies to
business owners and user group representation. For example within the Kent
School District, but maybe not within the Kent city limits. J. Watling informed the
committee that any reference to the Kent Parks Foundation will be removed from
the Ordinance. Staff doesn't see it advisable right now for the Foundation to be a
part of the Commission. An important priority however, will be to review how the
Parks Foundation will be related to the Commission.
Chair D. Ranniger was concerned with the wording in the membership section
relative to the Parks Foundation. J. Watling reiterated that any reference to the
Foundation will be stricken from the Ordinance.
Page 4
Page 5
Committeemember B. Fincher asked if the issue with involving the Parks
Foundation was because of its 501c3 status and blending that with the city? J.
Watling confirmed it is part of the issue we are working through.
Chair D. Ranniger suggested an ex officio position on the Commission for a Parks
Foundation member.
Committeemember D. Higgins asked about membership on the Kent Parks
Foundation. J. Watling clarified that as a 501c3 the Parks Foundation Board is a
separate entity from the city and appoints its own members.
Committeemember D. Higgins asked about appointments by the mayor and council
being done differently. J. Watling responded that the intention is to match the Arts
Commission and Human Services appointments, to be consistent.
Committeemember B. Fincher asked how the school student is selected and if there
would be an application process. J. Watling said that staff wants to initiate a
recruitment process through an application/interview process.
Chair D. Ranniger spoke to the importance of the link between the Commission and
Foundation and how it is important for communicating goals and expectations. In
particular, ensuring fund raising efforts are in line with department needs. J.
Watling appreciated her comments and agrees with maintaining a key relationship
between a 501c3 and the Commission.
Committeemember D. Higgins asked about the timeline. J. Watling said that the
final Ordinance would be on the June 19 Parks and Human Services Committee
agenda with more detailed format. Recruitment could be completed over the
summer and kick off in the fall.
6. Director's Report - INFO ONLY
Jeff Watling, Director of Parks, Recreation and Community Services, informed the
committee of noteworthy information and upcoming events.
J. Watling introduced Jay Hill, Program Coordinator at Kent Commons and
announcing that the Elementary School Track Program just wrapped up last
weekend, along with the Junior Olympics. J. Watling noted Jay Hill's coordination
skills in these events. The elementary school track program has been in existence
for 51 years - in part, due to the huge success of our relationship with the Kent
School District. There were 26 of the 28 elementary schools represented this year
with 1,437 participants. And, there were 25 scholarships through the Access to
Recreation Program.
At the same time, Junior Olympics was going on at French Field last weekend. J.
Watling complimented Jay on doing such a great job on putting this program as
well and highlighted his creativity in programming that allows many to participate.
Commenting that by looking at the faces of the participants, you can see how
important and fulfilling this program is to the community.
Page 5
Page 6
Jay Hill wanted to stress the support of the Kent School District with these
programs. It is always emphasized that the kids are participating for their schools.
All of the students get their own t-shirts in their school colors. This sports program
is not just about the good athletes, but every kid is encouraged to attend. Since it's
open to all kids, no one is turned away and sometimes it's the only sports program
that the kids get to participate in. In order to get as many kids as possible to attend
the track meet, Jay and one of the coaches went to Birch Creek to gather
registrations, and they ended up with 135 kids participating in the event this year.
Chair D. Ranniger commented that she has thoroughly enjoyed attending the event
in the past.
Committeemember D. Higgins shared that both of his kids have participated in the
event.
Committeemember B. Fincher said she enjoyed seeing the families supporting their
kids and the students in t-shirts, identifiable by their school colors.
Summer Playground
The Summer Playground Program will be at five sites, West Fenwick Park, Morrill
Meadows Park, Chestnut Ridge, and at Tot Lots One and Two. The program runs
June 25 through August 16 from 10:30 to 4:30, including free sack lunches. Brian
Steward, Program Coordinator, anticipates approximately 9,000 visits to the
program over the summer months.
This year, the "Let's Read Program" with King County Library has been incorporated
into the summer programming to insure there is no lapse in reading over the
summer break. For the second year, the city will partner with the Community
Center for Education Results (CCR).
Wilson Playfields
The Wilson Turf Replacement Project is underway and on time. The fields will be
open in August.
Renovation of Council Chambers Space
Facilities and IT are meeting to discuss an update to the Audio / Visual equipment
in both Chambers East and West. Facilities staff, with an architect's assistance, will
examine the entire space with the goal of reprogramming it to create a more
flexible area with better efficiency and function.
Chair D. Ranniger adjourned the meeting at 6:00 p.m.

SUBJECT: HOME Interlocal Cooperation Agreement - Authorize
MOTION: Move to recommend authorizing the Mayor to sign the 2015-
2017 HOME Interlocal Cooperation Agreement with King County, subject
to final terms and conditions acceptable to the City Attorney and the
Parks Director.
SUMMARY: The current Interlocal Cooperation Agreement for the King County
HOME Consortium expires at the end of 2014. The agreement contained an
automatic renewal clause but due to a HUD requirement to add some technical
language, it is necessary for the Council to approve the new agreement.
Continued participation in the HOME Consortium is advantageous for the following
reasons:
• The City and affordable housing developers serving Kent may apply for HOME
funds to help meet locally identified affordable housing needs, including affordable
rental housing and first-time homeownership programs;
• The City and affordable housing developers serving Kent may apply for HOME
funds to support the rehabilitation and preservation of affordable privately owned
multifamily rental housing in your jurisdiction;
• The City can participate in the Interjurisdictional Advisory Group that helps
develop recommendations for the inter-jurisdictional Joint Recommendations
Committee on specific projects to receive funds, as well as program guidelines.

HOME-ONLY Agreement Cities
Dear :
I am writing to you regarding the continuing participation of your city in the King County HOME
Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) Consortium and the Regional Affordable Housing Program
(RAHP)Consortium.
King County Code,Title 24, Chapter 13 (KCC 24.13)sets out the framework for King County to enter
into consortia relationships through interlocal cooperation agreements to partner in the distribution and
administration of funds made available through the United States Department of Housing and Urban - --
Development(HUD), and affordable housing funds established in Section 36,22.178 of the Revised
Code of Washington(RCW).
Pursuant to KCC 24.13, it is the policy of King County to partner and form urban county consortia with
the cities and towns in King County outside the City of Seattlelrl for the HUD-administered HOME
program.King County also partners with all cities and towns in King County for RAHP document
recording surcharge fee funds for affordable housing, governed by RCW 36.22.178,which requires the
County to enter interlocal agreements.
The King County Housing and Community Development Program administers the HOME and RAHP
Consortia funds on behalf of the participating city members, and staffs the interjurisdictional Joint
Recommendations Committee(JRC)of the consortia. The JRC reviews and recommends policy matters
and project selections concerning consortia funds to the King County Executive.
HOME Consortium Agreement
As a city that receives CDBG funds directly from HUD, and a prior signatory to the HOME Consortium
Agreement for the 2012-2014 period of qualification,your city is eligible to continue participating in the
King County HOME Consortium through a new Agreement for the 2015-2017 period of qualification.
In reviewing HUD's most recent"Notice of Procedures for Designation of Consortia as a Participating
Jurisdiction for the HOME Program"with our attorney,King County has discovered that there is some
technical language required by HUD that must be added to the King County HOME Consortium
t'l As a large metropolitan city,Seattle receives an independent allocation of CDBG,ESG and HOME Program funds directly
from HUD.
Page 10
May 14, 2014
Page 2 of 3
Agreement. This language is beneficial to the Consortium in that it will allow King County to make
amendments for technical HUD requirements without all of the participating cities needing to get
council approval and re-sign the HOME Agreement in the future. Amendments by King County will
only be allowed for HU D-required technical changes and not for other amendments that the City(s)and
County may negotiate.
In addition,we are adding a new member, the City of Kirkland,to the HOME Consortium for the 2015-
2017 period of qualification. Kirkland is eligible to become a Joint Agreement City or a separate
entitlement, and is electing to become a Joint Agreement city and to join the HOME Consortium with
that new status.
As a unit of general local government eligible for continuing participation in the HOME Urban County
Consortia,we must inform you that if your city chooses to remain with the King County HOME
Consortium,your city will participate in the HOME program as a part of the King County HOME
Consortium, and may only have access to the Consortium's HOME formula grant amount. This does not
preclude the Consortium or a unit of government participating in the Consortium from applying for
HOME funds from the state, if the state were to allow such an application.
Benefits of Continuing Participation in the King County HOME Consortium
• Your city, and affordable housing developers serving your city,may apply for HOME finds to
- - help meet-locally-identified-affordable-housing needs,including affordable rental housing and
first-time homeownership programs.
• Your city, and affordable housing developers serving your city,may apply for HOME funds to
support the rehabilitation and preservation of affordable housing in your jurisdiction.
• Your city can participate in the city/county staff work group that develops recommendations for
the inter jurisdictional JRC on specific projects to receive HOME funds, as well as program
guidelines.
RAHP Agreement
The RAHP Agreement governs the administration of funds for housing affordable to households at or
below 50 percent of AMI throughout King County. The RAHP Agreement has an automatic renewal
clause that allows it to renew for subsequent three-year periods, and is renewing without changes for the
2015-2017 period. Your city signed a RAHP Agreement for the 2012-2014 period,thus your agreement
will automatically renew and you do not have to take any further action.The RAHP Guidelines are
updated through the JRC as needed, and will be updated during 2014. Staff from your city is invited to
attend the meetings this spring that will culminate in JRC recommendations.

HOME Agreement Next Steams
If your city desires to continue to participate in the King County HOME Consortium, your city must
sign the enclosed HOME Agreement for the 2015-2017 period of qualification,which has been revised
to include the HUD-required technical elements, and is included in this packet as Attachment A.
If your city does not desire to continue participation in the King County HOME Consortium for 2015-
2017,you must notify both HUD and King County in writing, at the addresses below, no later than June
13,2014.A decision to be excluded from participation in the consortia would be effective for the entire
three-year period of 2015-2017, unless your city were to specifically request to be included in a
subsequent year for the remainder of the three-year period.
Your letters indicating that your city does not desire to continue participating in the King County
HOME Consortium must be mailed to both King County and HUD at the following addresses:

FROM: Jeff Watling, Director of Parks, Recreation and Community Services
SUBJECT: Ordinance to Establish a Parks and Recreation Commission - Adopt
MOTION: Move to recommend Council adopt an Ordinance to establish a
Parks and Recreation Commission.
SUMMARY: The parks, trails and programs provided by the City of Kent touch the
lives of tens of thousands of residents each year. Effective delivery of those
services and stewardship of those public spaces relies on direct communication with
our residents and customers. Although this communication happens in a wide
variety of ways, another means for more formal interaction would be through a
Parks and Recreation Commission.
Through previous discussions it has been determined that the Mayor, City Council
and Department Staff all concur that the formation of a Kent Parks and Recreation
Commission is needed and will be an effective way for residents to interact directly
with staff on numerous strategic planning efforts that influence the public parks and
recreation system.
A draft Ordinance was presented and discussed at the May Parks and Human
Services Committee meeting. From the feedback given at that meeting, staff has
made minor revisions to the draft and will be presenting the Ordinance possible
adoption.
