Kent City Council Workshop Minutes
June 16, 2015
The workshop meeting was called to order at 5:02 pm by Council President Ralph.
Councilmembers present: Ralph, Berrios, Fincher, Higgins, and Thomas.
Bond Refundina Opportunities — Aaron BeMiller highlighted what bond refunding is
and explained the reasons why it occurs. He noted that the main reason bonds are
refunded is to save money, and then he presented an example of a bond that has
been refunded. He explained how the process works. He added that this will be
brought to the Council in the coming weeks and discussed the specifics of each of the
City's current bonds.
Councilmember Ranniger arrived at 5:10 p.m.
BeMiller stated that the bonds would be discussed in the coming years and presented
the bond refunding timeline. He also stated that Finance is working on the statement
and ordinance. He stated that the proposed legislation will be brought to Operations
on July 21 and to the Council on August 4.
Code Enforcement — Ben Wolters, Economic and Community Development Director
introduced Doug Garrett, Code Enforcement Officer. Garrett reviewed code
enforcement procedures in the City of Kent.
Victoria Robbin, Assistant City Attorney explained the steps involved with the
Voluntary Correction Agreement and noted that it is an agreement between the City
and the violato. She highlighted the entire enforcement process including what would
occur if the violator attempts to ignore the City. She noted that the court system can
be utilized by the City to solve difficult code enforcement cases. She then noted that if
the property owner continues to defy the legal system, the City can sue to place the
home in foreclosure and take possession of the property. She communicated that the
City cannot enter someone's property unless granted permission by the owner or with
a warrant from the courts. She highlighted that there are also issues with prioritizing
which cases to move forward with.
Council President Ralph verified that if a new owner purchases a foreclosed property
they would need to go through the eviction process to remove tenants.
Robbins communicated that when a code enforcement case turns into a criminal case
the police are brought up to speed and a criminal investigation is started by the
officer assigned to the case.
Councilmember Thomas confirmed that the Department of Public Health is not notified
of garbage service or active biological matter piling up.

Kent City Council Workshop Minutes
Pat Fitzpatrick communicated that in previous cases when the Department of Public
Health has been notified they have pushed the problem back onto the City.
Councilmember Berrios inquired if the City is ever going to be able to be in the first
position on liens. He said the City has no leverage when it comes to liens and Robbins
replied that RCW 35.80 allows the City to, through the adoption of a City ordinance,
recoup funds from violators that don't adhere to code enforcement through the sale or
foreclosure of the property.
Wolters stated that if the Council adopts this legislation the City will be able to obtain
funds from the sale or foreclosure of non-compliant properties.
Councilmember Fincher thanked Doug and Matt for their work. She noted examples of
code enforcement cases and stated that applying some extra pressure to get owners
to sell their property or begin the foreclosure process is important.
Wolters noted that the City averages one property clean up per year and there is only
$22,000 in the abatement fund, which is a limited amount to do the work.
Councilmember Berrios noted that the Council has a duty to the residents of Kent to
do everything it can on this. He asked if there was a way to educate the citizens on
the municipal code. He noted that some of them are unaware of the simple codes. He
added that there should be friendly code reminders attached to the bills.
Wolters introduced Toni Azzola, Neighborhood Programs Coordinator who
communicated that she established an interdepartmental difficult properties group
that discusses properties with code enforcement issues. She discussed specific cases
and how the City is working to dissolve departmental silos in order to solve some of
these problems. She added that Robbins was brought to Neighborhood Council
meetings to present code enforcement issues and that the communities should be
better educated.
Wolters added that it comes down to community education and discussing the
municipal code in the neighborhood meetings.
Councilmember Thomas inquired if the word "unhealthy" could be added to the
language of the proposed ordinance and Robbins responded that it couldn't and the
correct terms should be "unfit for human habitation".
Wolters reviewed a slide of the cases that have been opened and closed over a six
month period. He noted that code enforcement handles 1,200 cases per year and the
abatement fund has been increased to about $100,000 for 2015. He added that there
are discussions to change it into a revolving fund with the adoption of the proposed
ordinance.
Council President Ralph inquired if the City has any liability on abandoned properties
and Fitzpatrick confirmed that it didn't.
2
Kent City Council Workshop Minutes
Wolters communicated that the department is also looking at adopting portions of the
international property maintenance code because it explains the notification letter and
strengthens the City's stance. Finally, he noted that there could be a Rental Housing
Inspection Program run by the City. It will allow the City to inspect rental properties
for public safety and health issues. He added that it would help the City maintain a
common community standard and become familiar with the property owners. He
noted that the inspection can be done by the City or the property owner can hire an
inspector.
Councilmember Fincher noted that the Rental Housing Inspection Program sounds like
a good idea. Garrett replied to Councilmember Fincher and stated that the
international property maintenance code makes the rules simple to understand.
Councilmember Thomas inquired if there is an expectation on how long a property
owner can take to build a house. Garrett replied that there aren't any codes that
address that.
Councilmember Higgins asked if the City is doing a responsible job with the number of
staff in the code enforcement department. He said he would like to know what the
budget and code enforcement department staff sizes are of peer cities. He added that
he would like to also see a financial amount determined when it comes to the
education piece.
Councilmember Berrios communicated that he doesn't know all the codes, but he can
look at something and know when it's wrong. He concurred with the staffing piece
brought up by Councilmember Higgins and suggested investigating other cities to see
what is working when it comes to code enforcement.
Meeting adjourned at 6:33 pm.

DRAFT 2016-2021 Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program.
SUMMARY: The Draft 2016-2021 Six-Year TIP represents the City's proposed

being submitted for grants be included in a City's adopted Six-Year TIP.
Since the June 1, 2015, Public Works Committee meeting, based on feedback from
committee members and in consultation with legal staff, the introduction of the TIP
has been revised as well as the list of projects to include: The Traffic Signal

Introduction
Overview
The Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a short-range planning
document that is updated annually based on needs and policies identified in the
City's adopted Comprehensive Plan and Transportation Master Plan. The TIP
represents Kent's current list of needed projects that are anticipated to begin
preliminary engineering, right of way acquisition or construction within the next six
years. The TIP also includes ongoing citywide transportation programs. Projects
and programs included in the plan are those that are considered to be regionally
significant.
The document identifies secured or reasonably expected revenue sources for each
project or program. The TIP serves as a draft work plan for the development of the
local transportation network. Once adopted, the TIP will guide funding and
implementation priorities during the development of the transportation portion of
the Six -Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The CIP shows the City-funded
portion of projects and is constrained by current budget forecasts, whereas the TIP
shows a complete project list with the variety of funding sources and partners
involved.
Historically, the largest sources of funding for TIP capital projects have been grants.
Funding for transportation projects is available from federal, state and local
resources. Each funding source has specific rules and guidelines about what types
of projects they will fund, how much of a project will be funded and timelines for
expenditure of funds. Additionally, most grant programs require a funding match,
which means that the City must also contribute funding to the cost of a project.
The City of Kent funds transportation capital projects using the General Fund,
Street Fund, Local Improvement Districts, Transportation Impact Fees, Business
and Occupation Tax, Solid Waste Utility tax, and grant revenue from local, state
and federal governments. One of the reasons the TIP is updated annually is
because many of these revenue sources are so closely tied to the health of the
economy they can be somewhat unpredictable.
Document structure
Each project or program listed in the TIP includes an estimated cost, the amount of
funding secured or unsecured and the funding source(s). If grant funding has been
secured from a specific source, it is identified. Projects listed that are necessary to
accommodate growth and allow the City to maintain its adopted Levels of Service
may be funded in part by transportation impact fees. The costs for projects
programmed in the first three years of the TIP have been developed with a higher
level of certainty whereas those in the latter three years have been developed with
less specificity, as those projects are generally less defined.
iii
Requirements
State law requires that each city develop a local TIP and that it be updated annually
(RCW 35.77.010). It represents an important planning component under the
State's Growth Management Act. The TIP may be revised at any time during the
year by a majority of the Council, after a Public Hearing.
In order to compete for transportation funding grants from Federal and State
sources, granting agencies require that projects be included in the TIP. The State's
Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program, for example, requires that potential
projects be included in the TIP in order to be eligible for funding. The Public Works
Department will be partnering with the Kent Police Department and the Kent School
District to apply for a number of SRTS projects included in the TIP over the Six Year
planning horizon.
The Six Year TIP is also required to be consistent with the transportation element of
the Comprehensive Plan pursuant to RCW 35.77.010.
Changes to the TIP
The City is in the process of updating our Comprehensive Plan, scheduled for
adoption by June 30, 2015. For the 2035 Comprehensive Plan update, the first six
years of the plan are financially constrained, meaning that secured funding is
demonstrated within an approved budget or similarly approved funding action.
Subsequently, the 2016-2021 TIP has been revised to reflect projects that will likely
be constructed using existing funding sources as well as the City's historical record
of average grant disbursements. Capital Streets Projects that do not have any
identified funding sources have been removed from the plan.

2016-2021 CITY OF KENT
SIX YEAR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
PROJECT #1: Kent Kangley Pedestrian Safety Improvements
104th Avenue SE to 124th Avenue SE
YEAR: 2016
DESCRIPTION: Add a new mid-block pedestrian crossing of Kent Kangley Road
with median refuge island and Rectangular Rapid Flashing
Beacons. Restripe crosswalks and stop bars, upgrade
pedestrian crossings to countdown message modules and
Americans with Disability Accessible (ADA) standard pedestrian
push buttons. There are a total of 8 intersections that will be
improved by this project and proper signage will be updated
along the entire project length. The project is currently under
design. Construction is expected to begin in 2015.
PROJECT COST: Preliminary Engineering ........$74,000
Right of Way Acquisition ...............$0
Construction ....................$342,000
TOTAL............................$416,000
FUNDING SOURCE(S): Washington State Department of Transportation
PROJECT
JUSTIFICATION: Kent Kangley Road (SR 516) is one of the most densely
populated corridors in the City. The section from 104th Ave SE
to 124th Ave SE is a congested, mixed land use, Principal
Arterial that is a designated truck route currently operating at
a Level of Service (LOS) E during the PM Peak. The majority
of housing along this portion of SR 516 is high density
multifamily housing that generates a substantial amount of
pedestrian traffic. This section of Kent Kangley is a high
boarding area for transit and is also a popular destination for
senior citizens due to the high concentration of shopping
facilities, banks, medical offices and senior housing. The
project area includes two of the highest collision incident
locations in the City (104th Avenue SE at 256th Street and
116th Avenue SE at Kent Kangley Road). The majority of
collisions reported in the project area from 2006-2008
occurred during the daylight hours with pedestrians over the
age of 18. This project will improve safety through the
construction of these engineering improvements combined
with education and enforcement.

PROJECT #2: 1st Avenue North Street Improvements
Smith St to James St
YEAR: 2016
DESCRIPTION: Sidewalk, curb, gutter, lighting, street trees, drainage, and
parking along the west side of 1st Avenue N between Smith
Street and Temperance Street and added parking along the
west side of 1st Avenue N between Temperance Street and
James Street for a total of 36 added parking spaces in addition
to two new electric vehicle charging stations.
PROJECT COST: Preliminary Engineering .........$50,000
Right of Way Acquisition ................$0
Construction .....................$290,000
TOTAL .............................$340,000
FUNDING SOURCE(S): City of Kent, State Regional Mobility Grant
PROJECT
JUSTIFICATION: This project will provide additional transit access to support the
high parking demand at the Kent Transit Center. The existing
surface and structured parking is full by 7AM on weekdays.
With the current Sounder schedule, half of the AM northbound
commuter trains arrive after 7AM. Commuters that would
otherwise choose to ride the bus or train to access other
regional centers have to drive instead. A missing link of
sidewalk along 1st Avenue N between Smith St and
Temperance St is also within the project area. This area is
heavily used by commuters walking and biking to and from the
Sounder Platform and Metro and Sound Transit bus station
pullouts. This project will complete pedestrian improvements in
the area as well as increase parking and provide electric vehicle
charging stations for commuters.

PROJECT
JUSTIFICATION: The project will lead to a seamless connection between major
freight handlers and their primary destinations. This project
will support freight moving through Kent to the Ports of Seattle
and Tacoma, SeaTac Airport and the freeway system. Grade
separating this arterial will increase roadway capacity, decrease
congestion, enhance safety and improve freight mobility in this
corridor and throughout the region. This project will provide
regional connections for thousands of businesses, employers,
and the 40 million square feet of warehouse/industrial space in
the valley. Construction is underway.

PROJECT #4: 72"d Avenue South Extension
South 2001h Street to South 196th Street
YEAR: 2016
DESCRIPTION: This project completes a missing link by constructing a new
three-lane roadway from South 200th Street to South 196th
Street. The project will include the crossing of Mill Creek and
construction of full-width paving; concrete curbs, gutters,
sidewalks, street lighting, storm drainage, landscaping, utilities
and appurtenances. This project is currently under design.
PROJECT COST: Preliminary Engineering .......$300,000
Right of Way Acquisition ........$75,000
Construction .................. $2,425,000
TOTAL ..........................$2,800,000
FUNDING SOURCE(S): TIB, Regional Fire Authority, City of Kent
PROJECT
JUSTIFICATION: Continued development in the northern Kent industrial area,
and high levels of congestion along West Valley Highway
between the South 180th Street and South 196th Street
corridors, mandate additional north-south arterial capacity.
This project provides some relief for South 180th Street, South
196th Street, and South 212th Street intersections along West
Valley Highway. It also provides improved access to the South
196th Street corridor from industrial development along 72nd
Avenue South by constructing the missing link between South
200th Street and South 196th Street. This roadway connection
provides a direct link from the existing Fire Station on 72nd
Avenue South to the 196th Street corridor, grade-separated
over both the BNSF and UPRR mainline railroad tracks,
dramatically improving emergency response times to a large
area of the Kent Manufacturing/Industrial Center and
warehouse land uses.

PROJECT #5: Traffic Control Signal System
Citywide
YEAR: 2016
DESCRIPTION: The City will purchase and install a master signal controller unit
capable of supporting flashing yellow left turn arrow (FYLTA)
displays for permitted left turns. This project will also purchase
and install traffic signal controllers for up to 29 individual
intersections. Traffic signals will be modified at up to 14
intersections to display FYLTA signal indications for permissive
left turn movements.
PROJECT COST: Preliminary Engineering .................$0
Right of Way Acquisition ................$0
Construction .....................$400,000
TOTAL .............................$400,000
FUNDING SOURCE(S): Federal Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP)
PROJECT
JUSTIFICATION: The current central traffic signal control system is not
compatible with flashing yellow left turn arrow displays for
permissive left turn movements. This type of signal display has
been demonstrated to be much more readily understood by
motorists and has resulted in reduced collision rates involving
vehicles turning left during permissive left turn signal phases.
The upgrade to the legacy central control system and more
advanced intersection traffic signal controllers will allow greater
operation flexibility and improved transportation system
efficiency.

PROJECT #6: Safe Routes to Schools Improvements at Meridian Elementary
25621 140th Avenue SE
YEAR: 2016
DESCRIPTION: Install a traffic signal at the intersection of SE 256th Street and
140th Avenue SE and construct an asphalt pavement walkway
with an extruded curb along SE 256th Street from approximately
134th Avenue SE to 140th Avenue SE. The traffic signal includes
a traffic surveillance camera and interconnect cable to connect
this signal to the rest of the City's traffic control system. This
project also includes education and enforcement elements
including the purchase of an additional Lidar Radar Unit for the
police enforcement.
PROJECT COST: Preliminary Engineering .........$65,000
Education/Enforcement..........$83,000
Construction .....................$300,000
TOTAL .............................$448,000
FUNDING SOURCE(S): WSDOT, City of Kent
PROJECT
JUSTIFICATION: Meridian Elementary School is located near the intersection of
SE 256th Street and 140th Avenue SE. The school provides
adult crossing guards to help students cross SE 256th Street.
The level of development in the area has increased to the point
that local traffic in the neighborhood and in the communities to
the east of the school has become especially heavy at the
afternoon bell times. A full traffic signal would assist the
crossing guards, the school children, the parents and teachers
arriving/leaving the school and all the local motorists to
maneuver in an orderly way during times of heavy conflict.
Currently students must walk or bike along a wide shoulder on
SE 256th Street. This project would provide asphalt pavement
adjacent to the signal to assist crossing guards, parents,
students, and motorist.

11310 SE 248th Street
YEAR: 2016
DESCRIPTION: Relocate existing crosswalk and overhead crosswalk sign to
provide improved access for students walking to and from
school. This project will also improve traffic flow through this
segment of SE 248th. This project includes minor asphalt paving
and education and enforcement elements.
PROJECT COST: Preliminary Engineering .........$15,000
Education/Enforcement..........$25,000
Construction .......................$60,000
TOTAL .............................$100,000
FUNDING SOURCE(S): WSDOT, City of Kent
PROJECT
JUSTIFICATION: Daniel Elementary School is located along SE 248th which is
classified as a residential collector arterial. SE 248th Street is
also a major walking route for students. The current location of
the crosswalk causes an inefficient flow of traffic and of
students walking to and from school. This project will improve
that flow. Education of the students and traffic enforcement is
also a component of this project.

PROJECT #9: Kent Regional Trails Connector
Green River Trail to Interurban Trail at South 218th Street
YEAR: 2016
DESCRIPTION: Construct 4,400 foot multi-use trail connecting the Green River
and Interurban Regional Trails at a point approximately mid-way
between the South 212th Street and South 228th Street Corridors
at about South 218th Street in the heart of the Kent Valley. This
12-foot wide multi-use trail for non-motorized users will include
trail lighting, in some locations, to enhance visibility and
encourage year-round usage. Rectangular Rapid Flashing
Beacons and marked crosswalks will be installed where the new
trail crosses midblock at 64th Avenue South and 72nd Avenue
South. A traffic signal for pedestrians and bicyclists crossing
mid-block will be installed on 68th Avenue South (West Valley
HWY). A mechanism for performance monitoring (counting) will
be installed at or near the new traffic signal. The project will
install a steel pedestrian/bicycle bridge over the Mill Creek
between 72nd Avenue South and the Interurban Trail. Federal
funds have been obligated. This project is anticipated to be
completed in 2015.
PROJECT COST: Preliminary Engineering .......$125,000
Right of Way Acquisition ................$0
Construction .................. $1,475,000
TOTAL ..........................$1,600,000
FUNDING SOURCE(S): CMAQ, WSDOT, City of Kent
PROJECT
JUSTIFICATION: This new trail would fill a missing east/west link in the City's
and the region's bicycle network. It would connect two of the
most heavily used regional trails to each other and provide
access for tens of thousands of people to a concentrated
employment center. It would provide alternative mode access
to The Kent Manufacturing/Industrial Center's 1,800 employers,
to recreational activities along the Green River and the Green
River Natural Resources Area and provide additional safety for
all users crossing three major arterial streets in an area with a

PROJECT
JUSTIFICATION: State Route 515, also known as The Benson Highway or 108th
Avenue SE, is the primary north south route on the East Hill
and serves as a major transit route. With four to five lanes in
its current configuration, this roadway has been widened to its
practical limits. Improvements to intersections along the
corridor can have positive effects on corridor congestion and
improve efficiency. This project would add queuing capacity for
the southbound left turn movement while continuing to provide
two lanes of through travel. Federal funds have been obligated.

PROJECT
JUSTIFICATION: The existing roadway system cannot accommodate the current
or forecast east-west traffic volumes between Kent's East Hill
and the Green River Valley floor. In order to meet
transportation concurrency requirements of the Growth
Management Act, additional east-west vehicle capacity is
required. Intersections along South 208th/212th Street and
James/Southeast 240th Streets are also at or over capacity. It
is not feasible to widen the James/Southeast 240th Street and
South 208th/212th Street 'corridors' enough to accommodate
forecast traffic volumes without additional east-west capacity
because of existing development and topographic constraints.

FUNDING SOURCE(S): STP, City of Kent
PROJECT
JUSTIFICATION: The proposed bicycle lanes would complete a missing bicycle
link between the Green River Trail and the Kent Regional
Growth Center. This project would provide the first dedicated
bicycle lanes to penetrate what had here-to-for been a barrier
to east/west bicycle travel, State Route 167. Bike lanes
currently extend easterly from this point providing connections
to the King County Regional Justice Center, Kent Station (an
18-acre shopping and entertainment complex), and the Kent
Transit Center. Nearby land uses include historic downtown
Kent, City Hall and the Kent City Center project scheduled to
add 164 urban-style apartments to the downtown core which
began construction in 2014. Filling in the missing links of this
bicycle corridor is expected to encourage more people to utilize
bicycling for more of their trips. The anticipated mode shift
from single-occupant vehicle to bicycle will allow Kent to meet
growth management goals while continuing to comply with its
adopted level of service standards and federal clean air
standards.

PROJECT
JUSTIFICATION: Few students currently walk or bicycle to Meadow Ridge
Elementary School. The Kent School District provides bus
transportation for all students living west of 108th Avenue
South and for students living north of the school. This project
will make the pedestrian environment friendlier for all users
and make it an inviting alternative for parents and students to
choose. The City of Kent has a number of programs that
encourage people of all ages to live a more active lifestyle and
makes it a City priority to provide attractive walking and
bicycling facilities. Once these additional sidewalk facilities are
built and the new crosswalk across 108th Avenue SE with
Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons is installed, it is anticipated
that many more families will be encouraged to walk their
children to Meadow Ridge rather than drive them to school.

YEAR: 2019
DESCRIPTION: This project includes extension of communication cable to traffic
signals in the recently annexed area of Panther Lake to allow
remote monitoring and management of the traffic signals,
replacement of the existing traffic signal controllers to be
capable of displaying flashing yellow left turn arrow (FYLTA) for
permissive left turn movements and allow flexible coordination
of the traffic signals along arterial corridors.

FUNDING SOURCE(S): Federal Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP)
PROJECT
JUSTIFICATION: The traffic signals in the recently annexed area of Panther Lake
are not connected to the City's central traffic signal control
system; hence, they cannot be remotely monitored or managed
from the City's Traffic Management Center. The intersection
controllers are not capable of displaying flashing yellow left turn
arrow (FYLTA) for permissive left turn movements. This type of
signal display has been demonstrated to be much more readily
understood by motorists and has resulted in reduced collision
rates involving vehicles turning left during permissive left turn
signal phases. The integration of these signals into the City's
signal system will allow operation flexibility and improved
transportation system efficiency.

FUNDING SOURCE(S): City of Kent
PROJECT
JUSTIFICATION: Kent is an important freight distribution center in the Puget
Sound Region. The efficient movement of freight, through and
within the City is critical to Kent's economic health. With the
completion of the final road segment of 72nd Avenue South
between South 196th Street and South 200th Street, 72nd
Avenue South becomes a key freight corridor and this
intersection of two important freight corridors (72nd Ave S and
S 212th Street) takes on a highly significant role in relieving the
congestion often found on West Valley Highway at peak
periods. This improvement reduces future southbound vehicle
queuing and congestion and has the potential to improve
intersection delay from 193 seconds per vehicle to 63 seconds
per vehicle.

JUSTIFICATION: The City assessed the condition of its street network in 2011. It was
found that many of the streets exhibit deficiencies that reflect they
are beyond their expected performance life and in need of a
maintenance or rehabilitation overlay, or some amount of
reconstruction. Moreover, historically, the amount of pavement
resurfacing, rehabilitation, and reconstruction monies the City has
budgeted each year has been insufficient to address the deficiencies
of its street network. Insufficient budgets to perform this necessary
work results in more expensive maintenance and rehabilitation
options.

replacement of old, outdated traffic signal equipment at currently
signalized intersections. The priorities for traffic signals will be set by
transportation system signal warrant studies which include studies of
volumes, collision history, pedestrian mobility needs, and roadway
geometry. This program also helps the City maintain level of service
standards necessary to maintain concurrency as required by the
Growth Management Act.

JUSTIFICATION: Locomotive engineers begin sounding the train-mounted horn
approximately '/a mile from the intersection of a highway/railroad
crossing. This warning device is an effective deterrent to accidents at
grade crossings but exposes the local community to significant levels
of noise that often deprecates the quality of life for those living closest
to the railroad facilities.

KEN• rN, Agenda Item: Consent Calendar — 7E
TO: City Council
DATE: July 7, 2015
SUBJECT: Downtown Railroad Quieter Zone - Authorize
MOTION: Authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary consultant contracts
not to exceed $150,000, consistent with the City's procurement policy and
direct staff to complete a preliminary analysis to determine the potential
for a Local Improvement District that would fund a Railroad Quieter Zone
subject to final contract terms and conditions acceptable to the City
Attorney and Public Works Director.
SUMMARY: At the Committee's request, staff will analyze the potential for a Local
Improvement District (LID) to help pay for a railroad Quiet Zone in downtown Kent. A
successful LID was formed for a Quiet Zone in Vancouver, Washington and staff will
research and review Vancouver's process, and LID.
Several years ago, staff met with Railroad and Federal Rail Administration officials and
made a preliminary determination of improvements needed for a Quiet Zone in
downtown Kent. To move forward with this endeavor, an outside appraisal consultant
is needed to determine the potential for special benefits conferred by such an LID.
Staff anticipates that the cost for determining whether it is feasible to move forward
with an LID (a feasibility analysis) would be approximately $100,000. This would
include consultant fees for an appraiser, a noise expert, a Quiet Zone expert, and staff
time.
If after review of the feasibility analysis, Council desired to then move forward with an
LID for this purpose, a very rough estimate of an LID establishment process cost is an
additional $200,000.

FROM: Derek Matheson, Chief Administrative Officer
SUBJECT: CAO Report for Tuesday, July 7, 2015
The Chief Administrative Officer's report is intended to provide Council, staff and
community an update on the activities of the City of Kent.
ADMINISTRATION
• Mayor Suzette Cooke, Council President Dana Ralph, Councilmembers Brenda Fincher
and Dennis Higgins, and Chief Administrative Officer Derek Matheson attended the
Association of Washington Cities' annual conference the week of June 22. The
conference offered many substantive sessions on current issues in municipal
government.
• The Mayor's Office welcomed an intern from the University of Washington's Evans
School, Steven Thomson. Steven is going to work on performance measurement
during his eight weeks with the city. Performance measurement is one of the
components of the Kent Performance Project, whose goal is to combine current city
initiatives on strategic planning, Lean, and Respect with future initiatives on
leadership development, performance measurement, and resident surveys, and
create a comprehensive organizational emphasis on performance.
• ARC architects, the firm that is helping the city evaluate whether interior
modifications to the City Hall Campus can accommodate the Police Department's
medium-term (10-year) space needs and increase the efficiency of all city
departments, will begin to meet one-on-one with departments on July 10. It will
take a couple months to complete the analysis and answer the threshold question.
ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Long Range Planning
o The Sound Transit Board will make a decision on a preferred alignment for light rail
in the Midway area on July 23. At the Sound Transit Board meeting on June 25
elected officials from SeaTac, Des Moines, Kent and Federal Way spoke in unison on
a preference for an I-5 alignment with a station on the east side of SR 99 close
enough to serve Highline College. Kent spoke in favor of a station abutting the west
side of 30th Avenue South. With an I-5 alignment there also would be a station
Page lof 11
location at the Star Lake Park and Ride north of S. 272nd Street. Environmental
groups prefer an SR 99 alignment, and Highline College would like a station on their
campus to better serve their 17,000 student body. There's only about a 450-feet
difference between a 30th Avenue station and a station on the college campus, and
about a $350 million cost difference between the SR 99 and I-5 alignments that were
analyzed in the draft EIS. Board members asked for additional information on the
best alignment to accomplish transit-oriented development envisioned for the area
(e.g., Midway Subarea Plan), including looking at opportunities to integrate transit
(e.g., light rail, Metro buses, Rapid Ride) to better expand transit oriented
development and increase ridership. Board members expressed a desire to serve
Highline College, and also to consider commercial and residential displacements as
well as construction impacts.
Development Engineering
o Our 3-day LEAN review was held last week with the Public Works Department. The
major outcomes were:
• Use KIVA permit tracking software to track the inspection process
• Public Works Operations will take over the administration of the inspection
walkthrough process while Development Engineering will continue to schedule
pre-construction meetings and administer the bonds and project closeout process
(redefining some roles and clarifying others)
Communication improvements will include designating the inspectors as the
one point of contact for the customer. We will host weekly inter-departmental
meetings until full implementation to track progress/results
o The Grandview civil permit was re-submitted and the applicant has also submitted a
grading permit with the intent to start grading the site in July
Economic Development
o On June 20 the first ever "Kent Valley Warehouse Direct Sale" took place.
Participating businesses were Washington Shoe Company, International News
apparel, Ricardo Beverly Hills luggage, Pickleball Central, Washington Pottery
Company, Silver Superstore, a-Mot bikes and Asia Pacific Gardening who is a
purveyor of bonsai trees. The coordinated day of sales presented our city's
warehouses to the public in a new way and was the first in what is anticipated to be
on-going sales in the Valley. Businesses had stamps and visitors who collected
stamps from all eight locations were entered into a business-led raffle with the top
three winners choosing amongst prizes like a $100 silver gift certificate, bonsai trees,
travel luggage, planters, birdbath, a pickleball starter kit, and rain boots. All
participating businesses were pleased with the turnout this past Father's Day
weekend and agreed to hold more coordinated sales direct from their warehouses in
the future.
o Staff members are assisting Public Works in recruiting attendance and survey
participation of businesses in the "Outside the Bus" forum scheduled in July. The
forum, which will include representation from King County Metro is meant to solicit
feedback on current public transit options and help guide $12 million in alternative
transportation solutions (e.g. car share and vanpools) funding towards meeting the
needs of our industrial employees.
Page 2of 11
Permit Center
o The total number of building permits issued this year is up 8% over this time in
2014. Each of these permits is an investment in Kent and the total valuation of this
work is over $55 million.
o We have issued 98 single family home permits this year. That a 15% increase since
this time last year.
o New home lots continue to enter the system. Four subdivisions with a total of 133
new single-family lots have been granted preliminary approval in 2015. Homes will
be built on these lots over the next couple of years.
FINANCE
• The Tax Division recently sent out letters to approximately 350 businesses, identified
through new business license applications and renewals, regarding the requirement to
register and file B&O taxes. Furthermore, the tax division is notifying businesses who
have active contracts with the city to review the Kent City Code to determine if gross
receipts from those contracts is subject to B&O tax.
• The State Auditor's Office has just about concluded their 2014 financial audit of the
Public Facilities District and is continuing to work on the 2014 financial audit of the
City. We expect the financial audit of the City to be completed by the end of the
month. Once complete, the City will submit our Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
to the Government Finance Officers Association for consideration for the Certificate of
Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting Program.
HUMAN RESOURCES
Our recruitments are up for the 2nd quarter by 25%. In 2014, we processed 24
benefitted positions in the 2nd quarter, this year we have processed 30. The FMLA lean
project from 2014 was a success as the number of cases has increased. It appears that
creating an automated process that is accessible from anywhere allows employees to
take advantage of this benefit. The Benefits division is in the process of automating the
Personal Change Requests (PCR) for benefits/payroll. Streamlining the process will
eliminate duplicate entries between departments and the Benefits division providing a
paperless process.

LAW
• Tami Perdue taught Prosecutorial Ethics to the city of Seattle DV/DUI unit and to the
King County Prosecutors District Court Unit. She is also teaching Prosecutorial Ethics
on July 2 to the DUI Boot Camp put on by the WSP.
• David Galazin has been assisting Public Works with a slumping sewer line below
E Valley Hwy. King County Metro has maintenance responsibility for the line but so
far has refused to undertake any corrective action. Public Works sent a camera into
the sewer line last week and has determined the line cannot survive another season
without repair. Public Works is going to put the project out to bid immediately. The
City will work to recover costs from Metro.

PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY SERVICES
Housing and Human Services
o Dinah Wilson and Lori Guilfoyle met with Margaret Hinson of Jewish Family
Services (IFS) and Mona Han of Coalition for Refugees From Burma (CRB) to
consider collaboration in a Request For Proposal (RFP) they are submitting for
Promoting Refugee Integration, Mobility and Empowerment (PRIME) Services
through the Washington State's Office of Refugee and Immigrant Affairs (ORIA)
to provide integration and self-sufficiency services to refugees. There is an
emphasis on collaboration amongst agencies and could provide the foundation
needed to launch broader initiatives. Examples of how the city might partner
include offering space to host meetings or trainings, or connecting IFS and CRB to
city departments for workshops (police or code enforcement) and civic
engagement. This grant focuses on persons with refugee status in the country
less than 5 years, but looks for proposals that can leverage other sources of
funding to serve those hear past 5 years. The city currently has a contract with
IFS and doesn't limit the services to the 5 years, so potentially will be leverage
for new funds.
o Staff attended the Governing for Racial Equity Network (GRE) annual conference
held at the Washington State Convention Center on June 11-12, 2015. The GRE
conference was presented by a network that included King County, Multnomah
County, City of Portland, City of Seattle and the City of San Francisco Human
Rights Commission. The GRE Network convenes public sector employees from
across the U.S. to end institutional and structural racism; strengthen regional
alliance; and increase public will to achieve racial equity.
o City staff, Dinah Wilson, joined Matias Valenzuela, Director of the King County
Office of Equity and Social Justice; Preeti Shridhar, City of Renton Deputy Public
Affairs Administrator; and De'Sean Quinn, City of Tukwila Councilmember, to
provide a presentation entitled, Towards a Regional Equity Compact? Engaging
King County Cities and Jurisdictions in a New Collaborative.
Recreation
o Youth/Teens/Adaptive
• The Kent Parks Community Center at the Phoenix Academy was
transformed into a prom-like ballroom on Saturday June 6 for the annual
Father- Daughter Ball. Dads and their daughters dressed up in their finest
evening cloths and enjoyed a fun evening of dinner, dancing, pictures and
Page 4of 11
karaoke. This popular program builds self-esteem and positive family
connections.
• School is out and that means all summer camps and playgrounds are in full
swing. Three different camp programs provide day-long fun opportunities
for elementary through teen age participants as well as individuals with
development disabilities. A Counselor in Training Program is also available
for pre-teens who would like to develop their leadership skills for possible
future employment in this program. Five playground programs are located
at west hill, east hill and valley park locations. This program features
games, arts and crafts, sports, and special events. All playground and day
camp sites partner with the Kent School district in providing free sack
lunches through the USDA funded program.
o Kent Commons
• Lake Meridian Public Swim Season opened on Saturday, June 20 with
fabulous weather and huge crowds. The beach is supervised by Kent Parks
Lifeguards 7 days a week from 12-7pm. In the first six days of operation,
there have been 9,155 visitors/swimmers at the beach confirming that
residents enjoy the personal, social, and environmental benefits this
beautiful Park has to offer. Park users may borrow life vests while in the
park to ensure safety around the water; 189 life jackets were loaned in this
six-day period. The Parks Department employs 20 lifeguards every
summer through Labor Day.
• The Kent Parks Spring Dance Recital took place on June 13 and featured
246 dancers from 41 youth dance classes. The dancers took to the stage in
three sold out performances at Kent Meridian Performing Arts Center. A
combined total audience of 975 cheered, supported, photographed, and
proudly delivered flowers to their favorite performers. These popular year-
round dance classes promote and strengthen self-esteem while also
supporting personal health through fun physical activity.
o Senior Activity Center
• The Senior Activity Center presented the Music and Art Showcase on
June 25. This free program featured music by Richard Dean, James Caddell
and The Coats. Kent Valley Artists displayed their art inside the building
while the music was presented on the outdoor stage. Meals were available at
Mitzels American Kitchen Mobile Unit set up on the Center's grounds and
Stafford Suites provided free desserts for attendees. Even though the weather
was very warm, over 350 people attended this event. This program is a great
tool for introducing new people to the services and programs available at the
center. Thirteen sponsors and the Kent Arts Commission provided funding for
the event.
Park Operations
o Park Operations augments the downtown landscape and public space with planter
pots and hanging baskets. This program has evolved in different ways during its
history, currently there are 25 baskets as noted in the last CAO report but in
addition there are 49 planters at a variety of locations in the historic downtown
area. The Kent Downtown partnership and the City are working to install
additional planters to fill in between existing locations. Once complete this phase
will maximize the program within current resources.

o Playgrounds are one of the most attractive and highest use amenities in the park
system. During the summer and any nice day through the year the city's
playgrounds are very active with people of all ages. To support the use and keep
them safe, Park Operations conduct monthly and bi-weekly detailed inspections
on the condition of the components and safety surfacing of each playground. In
preparation for this season 500 yards of new safety surfacing was installed and
7 playgrounds received major component replacement along with a myriad of
minor repairs.
