EXHIBIT A
In 2015 the Green River Community College SBAC will continue to focus on fewer clients with higher
impacts. Small Business billable hours are calculated at$125 per hour. For a $23,100 grant,Kent will
receive 185 hours of direct client services,representing both growth companies and small business start-
up or maintenance companies. A growth company would be characterized as a company that would grow
by $500K to $1M in revenue and add 5 to 10 jobs. As all clients are self-selecting,this is the best SBAC
estimation of impacts over a 12-month period based on previous years of experience. Actual results are
based on a number of factors, not all of which are under the control of the SBAC.
Confidentiality is a chief concern in reporting on SBAC activities. Reporting forms will identity clients
by number only and not by company name or owner.

RE: Create Kent 2035/Comprehensive Plan Survey Results
Meeting of February 9, 2015
MOTION: None Required — Information Only
SUMMARY:
An important piece of the update to the Kent Comprehensive Plan is public outreach.
As part of this outreach, staff created an online and paper survey asking questions
about how the public perceives their quality of life, housing, the environment, the
transportation system, parks, programs, their favorite places, and what would make
Kent an even better place. The City invited the public to Create Kent 2035! Staff was
assisted in this effort by Futurewise, El Centro de la Raza, OneAmerica, and Mother
Africa who all did an incredible job of capturing comments from the refugee and
immigrant community, seniors, and other residents. Over 900 people contributed to
the survey, including those who took advantage of the translation of the survey by
Futurewise and partners into four languages other than English. At the February 91h
ECD Committee meeting, staff will present the survey results.
BACKGROUND:
The public outreach for the update to the Comprehensive Plan that is due by
June 30, 2015 was launched at the July, 2014 Kent Cornucopia Days and continued in
August, 2014 at National Night Out. Named Create Kent 2035, the project included a
web site presence (www.Kent2035.com), the survey, posters, business cards, an e-
mail list, as well as staff attendance at several community events and listening
sessions. Public responses are helping to craft a vision and direction as the City looks
out to the year 2035.

Kent Survey - Fall 2014
Snapshot of Results
Draft results Dec 10, 2014
IV1tV"d1d U Ct➢OV1
The City of Kent created the Kent2035 survey (with input from Futurewise, El Centro de la Raza, and OneAmerica) to
gather input from Kent citizens on a broad range of issues related to the City of Kent's long-range Comprehensive Plan.
The City primarily deployed the survey online (459 respondents). Futurewise, El Centro de la Raza, OneAmerica and
Mother Africa conducted the survey in the field using a printed copy(460 respondents). The survey was translated into
Spanish, Russian, Vietnamese and Somali and interpreted into Arabic and Tigrinya and Somali
This report is a preliminary summary and analysis of the survey responses collected under these categories:
• On-line respondents: 459 respondents who took the online survey based on emails and other communications
from the City of Kent.
• Kent Food Bank: 26 food bank visitors surveyed by Futurewise and El Centro de la Raza
• Wilson Playfield: 199 parents and relatives and friends viewing soccer games surveyed by El Centro de la Raza
and Futurewise
• Immigrants and refugees: This grouping includes 158 immigrants and refugees surveyed by MotherAfrica, 16
immigrants and refugees surveyed by OneAmerica, and 13 Latino community members surveyed by El Centro
de la Raza. These 187 surveys responses do not duplicate the surveys in the other categories.
• Kent Senior Activity Center: 65 seniors and center staff surveyed by Futurewise, El Centro de la Raza and
OneAmerica
Most of the survey questions asked respondents to rate options.Two questions were open-ended in which participants
wrote in answers (not all survey respondents answered all questions.)
As shown in the results below, some community priorities such as safety are a major concern for all Kent survey
respondents. Other issues, however—such as housing—show differences between the groups surveyed.

a secondary priority in transportation. 58%of respondents (42 out of 73) drive alone, and 21% (15 out of 73) ride the
bus. Bus stops closer to homes would help this group take transit more,as well as more options for where people need
to go, as well as safety walking to and from stops.

"Where would you take an out of town guest?"
"
In an open-ended question, Kent residents overwhelmingly indicated that they would take out-of-town guests to Kent
Station, followed by parks, trails, and lakes.
There were four specific locations of
Places to Take a Guest in Kent parks/trails/lakes that respondents identified most
Sit,,o e frequently: Lake Meridian,Solos Creek Trail, Green
Or,RelfaurdOt-; River Trail and Lake Fenwick. For local businesses,

"What would make; Kent a better place to lave?"
Respondents were asked in an open ended question "What would make Kent a better place to Live." Safety (174
responses) was mentioned most frequently, followed by the need for more beautification, cleanliness,and
attractiveness (74 responses).There were also many concerns mentioned about the homeless population (52
responses)—ranging from a desire for fewer homeless people in Kent to desiring more services for them.
Many survey respondents also mentioned a need for downtown revitalization (55 responses), more grocery(23
responses) and retail (47 responses) options, as well as restaurant options (38 responses). Many responders asked for
"something to do" and included ideas such as theaters and bars.
Similarly, survey respondents identified that Kent is not a "destination." There appears to be a desire for the creation of
a unique Kent identity (at least 15-20 responses).Additionally,sidewalks (45 responses) and roads/infrastructure (51
responses) were cited by many as being important for a better Kent.
The online survey respondents included over 20 comments stating a desire for fewer apartments and less low-income
housing,and no comments requesting more housing besides condos/higher income. In contrast,the other survey
respondents (Senior Activity Center, immigrant and refugee, soccer game attendees and food bank visitors) included
many specific requests for apartments, and few requests for fewer apartments.
Overall, many respondents mentioned better schools (58 responses) as important for making Kent a better place to live.

RE: Process Improvement/Cross connection Permits
Meeting of February 9, 2015
MOTION: None Required — Information Only
BACKGROUND:
A few years back, both cross connection and Fat, Oils, and Grease's (FOG) staff
approached the City about working together to ensure opportunities on the front
end weren't being missed and to inform our customers of when cross connection or
FOG would be required on their permits.
At the February ECDC meeting, Public Works and ECD staff will discuss how we
applied some LEAN principles to our permit process to address the cross
connection/FOG issue and improve the process for our customers.
If you have any questions prior to the meeting please contact Kimberlee McArthur

RE: Tree Preservation Code Amendment
Meeting of February 9, 2015
MOTION: None Required — Information Only
SUMMARY:
Kent City Code section 15.08.240 addresses tree preservation during land
development. Generally, this section requires land developers to create a plan
showing that trees around the edge of sites and a percentage of interior trees will be
retained where they are growing when construction of a project is complete. This plan
is required to be approved by the City before construction begins.
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of the City's tree retention regulations is to maintain and protect property
values, enhance the appearance of the city, preserve the natural wooded character of
the area, promote utilization of natural systems, reduce the impacts of development
on the storm drainage system, and provide a transition between various land uses in
the city.
The current tree preservation requirements were last updated in 2007. Since that
time, staff has had many opportunities to apply the regulations, primarily during
review of single-family subdivision applications. This experience has revealed
elements of the regulations that in application, conflict with other city requirements
and often result in retention of trees that are incompatible with the new development.
For instance, when a tree grows in the open, it is exposed to the wind, and over time
develops structural strength that keeps it standing in gusty conditions. Trees made
strong by exposure to wind are called 'wind firm'. Conversely, when a tree grows up
surrounded by other trees, it is exposed to less pressure from the wind, and develops
less structural strength. When a wooded site is developed, removal of many trees is
usually necessary. Those that are left standing as required by Kent's current
regulations are often not wind firm and are thus not suitable to remain in close
proximity to homes.
This is but one example of an unintended consequence connected with the current
tree regulations that could be addressed through an update of Kent's tree
preservation code. At the February 91h meeting, staff will discuss this issue in greater
detail, and seek direction from the committee.

RE: Sound Transit Update
Meeting of February 9, 2015
MOTION: None Required — Information OnIV
SUMMARY:
Staff continues to update the Committee on Sound Transit's Federal Way Link
Extension (FWLE), including a station in the Kent-Des Moines area. Public release of
the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) has been delayed and now is
anticipated in late March 2015, with the Sound Transit Board selecting a preferred
alternative in late June.
BACKGROUND:
At the January 261h meeting of the FWLE Interagency Working Group, Sound Transit
(ST) provided the following information:
• ST has met with over 60 property owners of about 100 parcels. They also are
sending flyers to tenants, e.g., multifamily developments, mobile home parks,
condominium complexes, shopping plazas, and so forth. Generally, people are
supportive of the project but concerned about how it affects their property.
Calls should be referred to Tralayne Myers, ST Community Outreach Specialist-
206-398-5014 or tralayne.myersgsoundtransit.orq.
• ST provided a preliminary technical review copy of their assessment of how the
station alternatives support transit oriented development (TOD). The report will
be issued with the DEIS and assess station access, land use plans and policies,
