January 26, 2015
COMMITTEE MEMBERS PRESENT:
Committee Chair, Dennis Higgins, and Committee members Dana Ralph and Brenda Fincher were
present. The meeting was called to order at 4:02 p.m.
Item 1 — Approval of Meeting Minutes Dated January 5, 2015:
Committee member Fincher MOVED to approve the minutes of January 5, 2015. The

Item 2 —Consultant Services Agreement with Shearer Design LLC for Design & Engineering
Services for the 72nd Avenue South Extension Proiect:
Design Engineering Supervisor, Ken Langholz recapped the committee members about this project.
He noted that Public Works was successful in obtaining a $1,182,420 grant from the Washington
State Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) for the 72nd Avenue Improvement Project in 2011.
He noted that this grant is in jeopardy, if action is not taken soon.
Langholz noted that 72nd Avenue South exists between South 180th and South 196th Streets and
between South 200th and South 228th Streets in the industrialized area of Kent. There is a missing
link between South 196th and South 200th Street that will be completed by this project, including a
new bridge across Mill Creek.
The proposal before the committee concerns structural engineering services required to prepare
plans and specifications for the bridge over Mill Creek.
Committee members tabled this item until staff could meet with the Regional Fire
Authority regarding funding of the shortfall.
Item 3 — Solid Waste Utility Tax — Residential Overlay Proiect Locations:
Pavement Management Engineer, Joe Araucto noted that prior to the adoption of the Solid Waste
Utility Tax, Public Works staff identified a number of residential streets throughout the City in need of
an asphalt overlay. These locations were shared with Council in the Fall of 2014.
Below is the list of 2015 streets in priority order for overlays:
Street Name From To
1. 109 Ave SE SE 256 St SE 248 St
2. 118 PI SE SE 256 St SE 251 St
118 PI SE SE 256 St south end of street
3. Lake Fenwick Rd Reith Rd SE 2591h Place
4. S 2541h St Lake Fenwick Rd S 256 St
S 253 St S 2541h St S 252 PI
43 PI S entire length entire length
42 PI S entire length entire length
Araucto note that the preliminary design work, to determine the extent of rehabilitation, is currently
underway. Along with the extent of needed rehabilitation measures, the cost of asphalt will affect
the amount of work that can be performed within the identified 2015 budget of $1.5 million.
