Item 4 — Aporoval of meeting minutes dated September 8, 2015
Council President Ralph MOVED to approve the minutes of September 8,
2015. The motion was SECONDED by Councilmember Boyce and PASSED 3-
0.
Item 5 — Grant Update
Sara Wood, Research and Development Analyst, presented information regarding
the 2015 Washington Traffic Safety Commission grant for data driven approaches
to crime and traffic safety. The city was awarded $33,400 to implement a new
approach to crime and traffic safety. Police officers deploy traditional traffic
enforcement in areas of the city where repeated crimes occur. The grant was
written for the 108th and 208th, 256th and 104th and the downtown core area. Kent
is the only city on the west coast using this approach to crime and safety. Sara
indicated that they will use the 240th & 104th area as the control group of the study.
$10,000 has been set aside for community outreach. Sara provided information
regarding the correlation between crimes and driving offenses. A lot of crime is
committed by people in cars and basic traffic enforcement may deter crimes in
those areas. Funds were received October ist, officers will start enforcement in
November and the grant term ends September of 2016. Sara will follow up with the
committee regarding the results of the program.
Item 6. — Fifth Amendment to Corrections Facility Medical Services
Agreement — Recommend.
Diane McCuistion, Jail Commander, presented information regarding the Fifth
Amendment to Corrections Facility Medical Services Agreement extending the
contract for an additional five year term. The contract is for healthcare services for
inmates that are provided by Valley Medical Center. The contract originated in
2004. The new contract's changes to services and hours reduce the annual cost
from $459,904 to $344,340 plus a $60,000 administrative fee. Lifetime of 5 year
contract's overall savings will total $277,820. The city is required to provide
medical care for inmates while they are incarcerated. Council President Ralph
clarified that an inmates' private insurance is suspended during the time they are
incarcerated.

Councilmember Boyce MOVED to recommend Council authorize the Mayor
to approve a five year extension to the contract between the Kent
Correctional Facility and Valley Medical Center/Occupational Health
Services for inmate health care in the amount of $344,340 annually with
terms and conditions acceptable to the city attorney and police chief. The
motion was SECONDED by Council President Ralph and PASSED 3-0.
Item 7. — Police Chief's Update — Information Only
Chief Ken Thomas advised the committee regarding current events affecting the
police department:
A. Chief Thomas reminded everyone of the police community meeting on
Thursday, October 15, 2015, at 7:00 p.m. at Panther Lake Elementary. Crime
statistics and crime data will be presented to the community. Additionally, the
Chief will present information regarding the department's efforts regarding gang
activity. Traffic Sergeant Mike Schanbacher will present information on the traffic
unit in addition to Commanders talking about crimes in their respective sectors.
B. Chief Thomas presented additional information regarding the data driven
approach to crime and traffic safety. The majority of crime studies show that a
higher police presence drives down the crime in those areas in addition to providing
a sense of safety for the residents in those areas.
C. Chief Thomas presented an update regarding racing. The police department
decided to implement a "heavy presence" vs. 'heavy enforcement" when dealing
with racers. Since the officers were not tied up with enforcement, they were able
to spend their time enforcing, the racers ended up leaving town. The Police
department is adapting their strategies.
The meeting was adjourned at 4:30 p.m. by Council Member Thomas.

SECTION IV— SP Special Terms and Conditions—SH79SP020419-07
REMARKS
A grant award recipient, also referred to as recipient, may carryover previous unobligated balance
(UOB) of funds up to 10 percent of the total Federal share from the current budget period (the
year in which the funds will be needed) without prior approval from the Grants Management
Officer (GMO). The intention to carryover up to this threshold must be reflected in the remarks
section of the Federal Financial Report (FFR) submitted for the FY 2015 budget period. The
subsequent FFR must reflect the actual UOB carryover amount in the remarks section. If the
amount of carryover exceeds 10 percent, the GMO will notify the recipient that they must return
the Federal share over the threshold due to noncompliance and may rescind this authority.
However, the recipient may request for approval, a carryover above the 10 percent threshold, but
must submit a detailed budget and narrative justification if the program requires additional funds.
The total amount requested and justified must be both the 10 percent plus the amount requested
over that in order to analyze the total unobligated balance of funds. The applicability of this
authority for your project is stated above.
DFC recipients are strongly encouraged to keep DFC Federal staff informed of any modifications
to a previously approved budget.
Please refer to the DFC Grant Award Recipient Handbook at
http://www.whitehouse.gov/ondcp/information-for-current-grantees for Roles and Responsibilities
of the Recipient, as well as the Federal staff that support the DFC Program. Federal staff contact
information is available at http://www.whitehouse.gov/ondcp/Drug-Free-Communities-Support-
Program/contacts.
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Drug-Free Communities (DFC) Support Program is a collaborative effort between the Office
of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration (SAMHSA). ONDCP issues grant awards to community coalitions through an
interagency agreement with SAMHSA. According to the Drug-Free Communities Act of 1997, the
purpose of DFC funding is to address two major goals: 1) establish and strengthen collaboration
among communities, public and private non-profit agencies, and Federal, state, local and Tribal
Page-3
7
governments to support the efforts of community coalitions and 2) reduce substance use among
youth and, over time, among adults.
While responsibility rests with the recipient for achieving the primary goals of the program,
SAMHSA shall monitor and provide continuing technical assistance, consultation, and
coordination in the implementation of the project during the funding period. You can find
additional details about the support available to you as a recipient on the program's website at
http://www.wh ite ho use.gov/ondcp/Drug-Free-Communities-Support-Prog ram.
In addition to these Terms and Conditions and the applicable statutes and regulations, recipients
are bound by all requirements in the Request for Applications (RFA) for the FY 2015 Drug-Free
Communities (DFC) Support Program available at hftp:/Avww.samhsa.gov/grants/grant-
announcements/sp-15-001.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF AWARD
Failure to comply with Terms and Conditions may result in a financial drawdown restriction on
your Payment Management System Account or denial of funding in the future as outlined in the
following section. Sub-recipients and contractors under grants are subject to the requirements of
the cost principles otherwise applicable to their type of organization and to any requirements
placed on them by the recipient to be able to comply with the Terms and Conditions of the award.
PROGRESSIVE DISCIPLINE AND APPEALS PROCESS
If for any reason you do not comply with the applicable terms, conditions, rules and regulations
for the DFC Program, your grant will be subject to the Progressive Discipline and Appeals
Process developed by ONDCP and SAMHSA. There are three progressive discipline actions that
can be taken: 1) High Risk status, 2) Suspension, and 3) Termination. Failure to comply with
special Terms and Conditions may also result in a financial drawdown restriction on your
Payment Management System Account or denial of funding in the future.
An overview of this plan and the complete explanation and procedures are posted on the Drug-
Free Communities Support Program website at http://www.whitehouse.gov/ondcp/information-for-
current-grantees or can be linked through http://www.samhsa.gov/Grants/management.aspx.

STANDARD TERMS OF AWARD
1. Performance Goals:
Recipients must comply with the implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of the accepted
goals, milestones, and expected outcomes as reflected in both the 12-Month Action Plan and the
RFA. All requirements specified around grant implementation and four core measures data
collection must be followed.
2. Indirect Cost Rates: §200.414/§75.414
Page-6
10
(f) In addition to the procedures outlined in the appendices in paragraph (e) of this section, any
non-Federal entity that has never received a negotiated indirect cost rate, except for those non-
Federal entities described in Appendix VII to Part 200/Appendix VI to part 75 -States and Local
Government and Indian Tribe Indirect Cost Proposals, paragraph D.1.1b, may elect to charge a de
minimis rate of 10% of modified total direct costs (MTDC)which may be used indefinitely. As
described in §200.403/§75.403 Factors affecting allowability of costs, costs must be consistently
charged as either indirect or direct costs, but may not be double charged or inconsistently
charged as both. If chosen, this methodology once elected must be used consistently for all
Federal awards until such time as a non-Federal entity chooses to negotiate for a rate, which the
non-Federal entity may apply to do at any time.
(g) Any non-Federal entity that has a current federally negotiated indirect cost rate may apply for
a one-time extension of the rates in that agreement for a period of up to four years. This
extension will be subject to the review and approval of the cognizant agency for indirect costs. If
an extension is granted the non-Federal entity may not request a rate review until the extension
period ends. At the end of the 4-year extension, the non-Federal entity must re-apply to negotiate
a rate. Subsequent one-time extensions (up to four years) are permitted if a renegotiation is
completed between each extension request.
3. Mandatory disclosures
The non-Federal entity or applicant for a Federal award must disclose, in a timely manner, in
writing to the Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity all violations of Federal criminal law
involving fraud, bribery, or gratuity violations potentially affecting the Federal award. Failure to
make required disclosures can result in any of the remedies described in §200.338 Remedies for
noncompliance, including suspension or debarment. (See also 2 CFR part 180 and 31 U.S.C.
3321).
4. English Language
All Federal financial assistance announcements and Federal award information must be in the
English language. Applications must be submitted in the English language and must be in the
terms of U.S. dollars. If the Federal awarding agency receives applications in another currency,
the Federal awarding agency will evaluate the application by converting the foreign currency to
United States currency using the date specified for receipt of the application.
Non-Federal entities may translate the Federal award and other documents into another
language. In the event of inconsistency between any terms and conditions of the Federal award
and any translation into another language, the English language meaning will control. Where a
significant portion of the non-Federal entity's employees who are working on the Federal award
are not fluent in English, the non-Federal entity must provide the Federal award in English and
the language(s) with which employees are more familiar.
5. The Division of Grants Management created a Public Assistance (P) Account in the Division of
Payment Management's (DPM) Payment Management System to provide a separate accounting
of Federal funds per the SAMHSA grant. When discussing your account with the DPM's Account
Representative, provide the document number identified on Page 2 of the Notice of Award under
Section I - AWARD DATA, Fiscal Information.6As the recipient organization, you acknowledge
acceptance of the grant Terms and Conditions by drawing down or otherwise obtaining funds
from the Payment Management System. In doing so, your organization must ensure that you
exercise prudent stewardship over Federal funds and that all costs are allowable, allocable and
reasonable.
6. Recipients must adhere to all applicable requirements of the Fiscal Year 2012 Consolidated
Appropriations Act provisions in PL 112-74 for the Department of Labor, Health and Human
Services, and Education and the Department of Interior and Related Agencies and from the

7. This grant is subject to the Terms and Conditions as stated in Section III (Terms and
Conditions) of the NoA. Refer to the "order of precedence"that explains the laws and regulations
that govern the award.
8. The recipient organization is legally and financially responsible for all aspects of this grant. The
Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS), Office of General Counsel (OGC) has
provided guidance on how the lobbying restrictions in the Fiscal Year 2012 Consolidated
Appropriations Act (CAA, 2012) will affect HHS programs. Section 503 of the Labor, HHS, and
Education Appropriation Act (Division F of the CAA, 2012) is the most comprehensive provision
focused on lobbying restrictions. Recent changes to this section may have implications for
SAMHSA and its recipients. Language provided by OGC, below provides specific guidance on:
agency actions, recipient lobbying, tax increases and other restrictions on legal consumer
products, and clarification of Internal Revenue Code provisions.
Section 503 - Agency Actions
a) No part of any appropriation contained in this Act or transferred pursuant to section
4002 of Public Law 111-148 shall be used, other than for normal and recognized executive-
legislative relationships, for publicity or propaganda purposes, for the preparation, distribution, or
use of any kit, pamphlet, booklet, publication, electronic communication, radio, television, or video
presentation designed to support or defeat the enactment of legislation before the Congress or
any state or local legislature or legislative body, except in presentation to the Congress or any
state or local legislature itself, or designed to support or defeat any proposed or pending
regulation, administrative action, or order issued by the executive branch of any state or local
government, except in presentation to the executive branch of any state or local government
itself.
Section 503(b) - Recipient and Contractor Lobbying
b) No part of any appropriation contained in this Act or transferred pursuant to section
4002 of Public Law 111-148 shall be used to pay the salary or expenses of any grant or contract
recipient, or agent acting for such recipient, related to any activity designed to influence the
enactment of legislation, appropriations, regulation, administrative action, or Executive Order
proposed or pending before the Congress or any state government, state legislature or local
legislature or legislative body, other than for normal and recognized executive-legislative
relationships or participation by an agency or officer of a state, local or tribal government in
policymaking and administrative processes within the executive branch of that government.
c) The prohibitions in subsections (a) and (b) shall include any activity to advocate or
promote any proposed, pending or future Federal, state or local tax increase, or any
proposed, pending, or future requirement or restriction on any legal consumer product, including
its sale or marketing, including but not limited to the advocacy or promotion of gun control.
9. Grant funds cannot be used to supplant current funding of existing activities. Under the HHS
Grants Policy Directives, 1.02 General--Definition: Supplant is to replace funding of a recipient's
existing program with funds from a Federal grant.
10. The recommended future support as indicated on the NoA reflects TOTAL costs (direct plus
indirect). Funding is subject to the availability of Federal funds, the demonstration of matching

SUBJECT: Ordinance Banning Fireworks— Recommend
MOTION: Recommend Council adopt an Ordinance prohibiting the sale,
possession, and discharge of consumer fireworks, and allowing public displays of
fireworks as well as the use of fireworks in theatrical presentations, both
conditioned upon the issuance of a city permit.
SUMMARY: Through its adoption of Resolution No. 1913 on July 28, 2015, the council
determined that the interests of the city would be best served by placing before the voters
an advisory proposition asking voters whether the sale, possession, and discharge of
consumer fireworks should be prohibited in Kent.
Advisory Proposition 1 appeared on the November 3, 2015 ballot, and asked the following
question of the voters:
Whether the sale, possession, and discharge of consumer fireworks should be
prohibited in the city of Kent. The prohibition of the sale, possession and
discharge of consumer fireworks would not affect properly licensed and
permitted public displays of fireworks.
At the November 3, 2015, election, a majority of voters answered the question set forth in
Advisory Proposition 1 in the affirmative.
In light of the recommendation of the voters, Chair Berrios asked the Law Department to
prepare an ordinance for council consideration that repeals the city's existing fireworks
regulations, and enacts a new ordinance that will prohibit the sale, possession, and
discharge of consumer fireworks, but will allow, in certain circumstances, the public
display of fireworks and the use of firework in theatrical presentations conditioned upon a
permit issued by the city.
In accordance with RCW 70.77.250, this ordinance will become effective one year from
the date of its adoption.

SUBJECT: Parking of Commercial Trucks on City Streets — Discussion Only
--DISCUSSION ONLY--
SUMMARY:
The parking of commercial vehicles, including semi-truck tractors and semi-trailers, is
regulated through the Kent City Code ("KCC"). The parking of these trucks and trailers on
City streets is regulated under KCC 9.38.130 and KCC 9.38.140, while their parking on
private property is regulated under the City's zoning code provisions at KCC 15.08.085.
Under the City's zoning code, commercial vehicles are not allowed to be parked upon
residentially zoned property with an SR-2 or greater zoning designation if they have a
gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 26,001 Ibs or morel. If residentially zoned
property has a zoning designation of SR-1 and a land use of US (urban separator), truck
tractors used in the hauling of semi-trailers are not allowed, nor are any other commercial
vehicles that are longer than 19 feet. To the knowledge of the Law Department, there
have been no enforcement issues with these zoning provisions.2
Under the City's parking code, some vehicles may not be parked upon City streets due to
their weight. KCC 9.38.130(A) provides as follows:
9.38.130. Parking and storage of certain vehicles — Penalty.
A. No commercial truck, vehicle, van, trailer, or semi-trailer, whether
licensed or unlicensed, exceeding eight thousand (8,000) pounds as defined
in RCW 46.44.036, 46.44.037, or 46.44.041 may be stored or parked upon
any city street for longer than two (2) hours, except for those periods of time
when such vehicle is being loaded or unloaded or where parking or storage is
otherwise prohibited.
'Trucks are classified according to their weight. A truck bearing a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 26,001 Ibs to 33,000 Ibs is referred
to as a"Class 7"truck, which includes, for illustration purposes only, a garbage truck, a large furniture truck, a city transit bus, or a semi-
truck tractor.
2 The Law Department does not propose that any changes be made to these zoning provisions. When this zoning provision was amended in
2006, there was an extensive public hearing process. Considerable time was also devoted to this issue by the Land Use and Planning Board,
the Economic and Community Development Committee, and the City Council. The result was a well thought-out zoning decision.

Based upon a citizen complaint concerning his neighbor's parking of a tow truck, the Law
Department became aware of some practical enforcement difficulties with KCC 9.38.130.
First, it is not clear if the word "commercial" applies only to "truck" or whether it applies
and modifies the remaining vehicle types identified. Second, the weight designated of
8,000 pounds is a low number that includes many vehicles used by citizens for regular
transportation purposes, including many minivans, cargo vans, and full-size pickups.
Third, it is not clear what terms or provisions are intended to be defined by references to
RCW 46.44.036, RCW 46.44.037, and RCW 46.44.041. These RCW provisions describe
what combination of truck and trailer may be pulled along Washington roads and the
maximum weight each axle may bear. However, they are unrelated to determining a
vehicle's weight. Therefore, reference to these RCW provisions in KCC 9.38.130's present
form creates considerable confusion and enforcement difficulties.
An amendment to KCC 9.38.130 is needed, but direction from the Public Safety
Committee is required before the Law Department can prepare an ordinance for the
Committee's future consideration. There are a number of options available to the
Committee, including without limitation:
1. Keeping the weight limit at 8,000 pounds, removing the
RCW references, and removing or clarifying the word
"commercial."
2. Increasing the weight limit to match the weight identified
within the zoning code (26,001 pounds or greater),
removing the RCW references, and removing or clarifying
the word "commercial."
3. Increasing the weight limit to an amount greater than
8,000 pounds, but less than 26,001 pounds, removing the
RCW references, and removing or clarifying the word
"commercial."
4. Proposing other revisions, including restrictions based on
height, length, or width.

Except as provided in RCW 46.44.037, it is unlawful for any person to operate upon the public
highways of this state any combination of vehicles consisting of more than two vehicles. For
the purposes of this section a truck tractor-semitrailer or pole trailer combination will be
considered as two vehicles but the addition of another axle to the tractor of a truck tractor-
semitrailer or pole trailer combination in such a way that it supports a proportional share of the
load of the semitrailer or pole trailer shall not be deemed a separate vehicle but shall be
considered a part of the truck tractor. For the purposes of this section a converter gear used in
converting a semitrailer to a full trailer shall not be deemed a separate vehicle but shall be
considered a part of the trailer.

Notwithstanding the provisions of RCW 46.44.036 and subject to such rules and regulations
governing their operation as may be adopted by the state department of transportation,
operation of the following combinations is lawful:
(1)A combination consisting of a truck tractor, a semitrailer, and another semitrailer or a
full trailer. In this combination a converter gear used to convert a semitrailer into a full trailer
shall be considered to be a part of the full trailer and not a separate vehicle. A converter gear
being pulled without load and not used to convert a semitrailer into a full trailer may be
substituted in lieu of a full trailer or a semitrailer in any lawful combination;
(2) A combination consisting of a truck tractor carrying a freight compartment no longer
than eight feet, a semitrailer, and another semitrailer or full trailer that meets the legal length
requirement for a truck and trailer combination set forth in RCW 46.44.030.
