any arrests in residential burglaries and the number has been steady. He noted that
there have been four arrests in commercial burglaries and two arrests with vehicle
prowls. There were three robberies, a high number in one month, he said. He

Johnson, Officer Randy Brennan, Officer Will Davis, and Officer Trevor Wolcott for their

MOTION: Authorize the Mayor to sign the Project Partnership Agreement
with US Army Corps of Engineers for the Boeing Levee Ecosystem
Restoration Project subject to the execution of an Interlocal Agreement
with the King County Flood Control District and subject to final terms and
conditions acceptable to the City Attorney and Public Works Director.
SUMMARY: On June 8, 2012, the City entered into a Design Agreement with the US
Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) for the Boeing Levee Ecosystem Restoration Project
(ERP). This agreement was to design an ecosystem project between S 200th Street
and S 212th Street on the right bank of the Green River (looking downstream). This
project is a multi-objective project that benefits habitat restoration, reduces flood
risk, and provides recreational value. As the design is nearing completion, the next
step is to sign a Project Partnership Agreement (PPA) with the Corps.
The PPA explains responsibilities for both the Non-Federal Sponsor (City) and the
Government (Corps) for the project. The agreement states that the City will pay
35% of all ecosystem restoration features, and the Corps will pay 65% of the costs.
Recreation costs included in the project will be cost shared 50-50 by the City and the
Corps. The City is negotiating an Interlocal Agreement with the King County Flood
Control District which will provide for reimbursement of the City's local share as well
as assignment of long term maintenance responsibilities. The signing of the PPA will
be contingent on execution of the Interlocal Agreement.

appraisal of the specific real property interests to be acquired in such proceedings. The
Government shall have 60 calendar days after receipt of such a notice and appraisal within
which to review the appraisal, if not previously approved by the Government in writing.
a. If the Government previously has approved the appraisal in
writing, or if the Government provides written approval of, or takes no action on,the
appraisal within such 60 day period,the Non-Federal Sponsor shall use the amount set forth
in such appraisal as the estimate of just compensation for the purpose of instituting the
eminent domain proceeding.

including the reasons for disapproval, within such 60 day period,the Government and the
Non-Federal Sponsor shall consult in good faith to promptly resolve the issues or areas of
disagreement that are identified in the Government's written disapproval. If, after such
good faith consultation,the Government and the Non-Federal Sponsor agree as to an
appropriate amount,then the Non-Federal Sponsor shall use that amount as the estimate of
just compensation for the purpose of instituting the eminent domain proceeding. If, after
such good faith consultation,the Government and the Non-Federal Sponsor cannot agree as
to an appropriate amount,then the Non-Federal Sponsor may use the amount set forth in its
appraisal as the estimate of just compensation for the purpose of instituting the eminent
domain proceeding.
c. For lands, easements, or rights-of-way acquired by eminent
domain proceedings instituted in accordance with paragraph C.3. of this Article,fair market
value shall be either the amount of the court award for the real property interests taken,to

Agreement,the Government shall afford credit for the documented incidental costs
associated with preparing to acquire the lands, easements, or rights-of-way identified in
the original determination, subject to an audit in accordance with Article X.C. of this
Agreement to determine reasonableness, allocability, and allowability of such costs.

Article III of this Agreement. The value of the interests provided by the Non-Federal
Sponsor in accordance with Article IILA. of this Agreement shall also include the

Article, the Government may waive the requirement for an appraisal pursuant to this
paragraph if it determines that an appraisal is unnecessary because the valuation is
uncomplicated and that the estimated fair market value of the real property interest is
16
$10,000 or less based upon a review of available data. In such event, the Government
and the Non-Federal Sponsor must agree in writing to the value of such real property
interest in an amount not in excess of$10,000.

equivalent facility, reduced by depreciation, as applicable, and by the salvage value of any
removed items.
2. For a relocation of a highway,the value shall be only that portion of
relocation costs that would be necessary to accomplish the relocation in accordance with the
design standard that the State of Washington would apply under similar conditions of
geography and traffic load, reduced by the salvage value of any removed items.
3. Relocation costs shall include, but not necessarily be limited to, actual
costs of performing the relocation; planning, engineering and design costs; supervision and
administration costs; and documented incidental costs associated with performance of the

to enable the disposal of dredged or excavated material shall be the costs of the
improvements, as determined by the Government, subject to an audit in accordance with

such costs. Such costs shall include, but not necessarily be limited to, actual costs of
providing the improvements; planning, engineering and design costs; supervision and
administration costs; and documented incidental costs associated with providing the
improvements, but shall not include any costs due to betterments, as determined by the

such costs.

hazardous substances shall be included in total project costs and shared in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement.
B. hi the event it is discovered through any investigation for hazardous substances
or other means that hazardous substances regulated under CERCLA exist in, on, or under
any lands, easements, or rights-of-way that the Government determines, pursuant to Article
III of this Agreement,to be required for construction, operation, and maintenance of the
Project,the Non-Federal Sponsor and the Government, in addition to providing any other
notice required by applicable law, shall provide prompt written notice to each other, and the
Non-Federal Sponsor shall not proceed with the acquisition of the real property interests
until the parties agree that the Non-Federal Sponsor should proceed.

initiate construction of the Project, or, if already in construction, whether to continue with
construction of the Project, suspend future performance under this Agreement, or terminate
this Agreement for the convenience of the Government, in any case where hazardous
substances regulated under CERCLA are found to exist in, on, or under any lands,
easements, or rights-of-way that the Government determines, pursuant to Article III of this
Agreement,to be required for construction, operation, and maintenance of the Project.

construction of the Project after considering any liability that may arise under CERCLA,the
Non-Federal Sponsor shall be responsible, as between the Government and the Non-Federal
Sponsor, for the costs of cleanup and response, including the costs of any studies and
investigations necessary to determine an appropriate response to the contamination. Such
costs shall not be considered apart of total project costs. hi the event the Non-Federal
Sponsor does not reach agreement with the Government on whether to proceed or to
terminate this Agreement under this paragraph, or fails to provide any funds necessary to
pay for cleanup and response costs or to otherwise discharge the Non-Federal Sponsor's
responsibilities under this paragraph upon direction by the Government,the Government, in
its sole discretion, may either terminate this Agreement for the convenience of the
Government, suspend future performance under this Agreement, or continue work on the
Project.

28
pursuant to paragraph C. of this Article shall not relieve any third party from any liability
that may arise under CERCLA.
E. As between the Government and the Non-Federal Sponsor,the Non-Federal
Sponsor shall be considered the operator of the Project for purposes of CERCLA liability.
To the maximum extent practicable,the Non-Federal Sponsor shall operate, maintain,

Proposed Scope and Budget
File No. 0410.188-01
INTRODUCTION AND PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The purpose of our services is to design a repair for a slope instability located on the north shoulder of SE 2401h Street
between 144th Avenue SE and 146th Place SE in Kent, Washington. Our initial evaluation of the area and preliminary
options for repairs were provided in a memorandum dated April 1,2014 and a letter dated April 25, 2014. Our letter
discussed options to realign the road, construct a structural earth wall (SEW), or construct a soldier pile wall. We
understand that you wish to proceed with design of the soldier pile wall, because it is less likely to require acquiring
additional right-of-way or relocating existing utilities.
It appears that the unstable area, where the soldier pile wall will be constructed, is about 180 feet long. Our study
will include about 350 feet of road from the crest of the hill east of 144th Avenue SE down to 146V Place SE. The
soldier pile wall will be located on the down slope shoulder of SE 240th Street. The wall will be designed to support
all of the observed sloughing soil, but lagging will only be placed in the upper 3 to 5 feet of the wall. If or when the
slough extends further down the slope, additional lagging will need to be placed. We will design the wall to extend
beyond the current unstable area including provisions for adding soldier piles if adjacent areas become unstable in
the future.
ASSUMPTIONS AND DESIGN CRITERIA
City of Kent will provide all necessary topographic/civil site survey in AutoCAD drawing format. The area
necessary forsurvey will include approximately 550 feet of roadway. The survey must also include the slope
area on either side of the road. The slope survey should extend from the top of the slope south of SE 240th
Street to the bottom of the slope north or SE 240th. We include an optional line item for survey in our budget
and can provide these services if required.
Structural design will be based on 2012 American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials
(AASHTO).
0 We will not be reviewing or modifying the roadway alignment for highway geometric standards, project plans
will only address repairing the sloughed area. Repaving will be limited to repairing damaged areas from the
City of Scent`June ll.20Z4 Page 2
slough or from construction. We anticipate this will include isolated patches, a chip seal (moisture seal)over
the entire area, and restriping as needed.
W City of Kent will manage the construction bidding and construction contracting. GeoEngineers will provide
engineering support during bid and construction under a separate contract.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
GeoEngineers and their sub-consultant KPFF Consulting Engineers (KPFF) will provide geotechnical, structural, and
civil engineering design services for repair of the slope north of SE 240th Street. Our proposed geotechnical scope of
services is below; KPFF's proposed scope of services is attached. Our deliverable will be a set of construction plans,
technical specifications (based on Washington State Department of Transportation [WSDOT] and Kent Special
Provisions), and an engineer's estimate of probable construction cost.
Gootechmeai Scone of services
1. Advance up to four subsurface explorations along the north shoulder of the road in the proposed wall area. The
explorations will extend up to 40 feet into dense glacial soil. We have budgeted for a total of 240 feet of drilling.
We will mark our explorations and contact Washington State One-Call priorto starting drilling. A lane closure with
traffic control will be required to complete our explorations. We have assumed thatthe City will provide required
street use permits.
2. Provide geotechnical engineering recommendations for use by KPFF to design the retaining wall. Our
recommendations will be provided directly to KPFF in the form of design memoranda. We anticipate our design
recommendations will include:
Lateral earth pressures (active and passive).
Minimum wall embedment depths required for global stability.
I
I
Wall drainage requirements.
AASHTO Seismic Design Parameters.
3. Review 30 and 90 percent plans and specifications prepared by KPFF.
4. Prepare a Geotechnical Basis of Design report presenting a summary of our subsurface investigation and
construction recommendations for inclusion with project specifications and bid documents.
5. Prepare a SEPA checklist for the project. We understand that the City of Kent is the local permitting agency. We
will prepare SEPA forms and submit them with the plans and specifications for review by the City.
6. Incorporate City comments, as appropriate, and review final plans and specifications prepared by KPFF.
SCHEDULE
We understand that this is a time critical repair. We will make every effort to accelerate this schedule where possible.
We anticipate that explorations can be completed within two weeks of receiving a signed agreement (depending
drilling subcontractor availability). Structural and civil design can begin once the explorations are completed and
survey information is received. We anticipate that review documents (30 percent plans)will be delivered to the City
two to three weeks after completing explorations and receiving survey information. We anticipate that review

Subject: City of Kent Soldier Pile Wall
Structural Engineering Scope and Fee Proposal
Dear Lyle:
KPFF is pleased to provide this proposal to GeoEngineers for Structural Engineering services
for design of a soldier pile wall at SE 240" St. and 146'h Pl. SE in Kent, WA. GeoEngineers will
serve as prime consultant to the City of Kent (City) and will provide Geotechnical Engineering
services. KPFF will provide Civil Structural Engineering Services as a sub consultant to Ge-
oEngineers. We understand that survey drawings will be provided by the City for use in
design, however we have provided a scope and budget for survey to be provided by KPFF as
an optional task to the City.
BACKGROUND & PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
Our understanding of the project is based on information provided by GeoEngineers and from
our site visit on June 6, 2014. GeoEngineers has been working with the City to monitor the
stability of SE 240'h St. west of the intersection with 146'h PI. SE. Over a period of several
months, Geo Engineers has observed that the north edge of SE 240'h St. is sloughing. This
has resulted in damage to the asphalt pavement and reduction of useable roadway shoulder. If
left unattended, the pavement would likely continue to deteriorate ultimately impacting the drive
lane. We understand that the City's preferred option for remediation is to install a soldier pile
wall at the North side of SE 240'h St to retain and protect the roadway and soil beneath. The
wall is anticipated to be a cantilevered wall approximately 350 foot long with a retained height
of 15 feet.
KPFF proposes the following SCOPE OF WORK to prepare Construction Documents for the
soldier pile wall to protect SE 240'h St.
SCOPE OF WORK
Based on our understanding of the project we propose the following Scope of Work:
1. Structural Engineering: Scope includes the following tasks:
a. Review of Geotechnical Engineering for the soldier pile wall: Geo Engi-
neers will provide a lateral earth pressures and geotechnical design
recommendations, based on geotechnical explorations, for our use in design of
the soldier pile wall. KPFF will review the information and coordinate the wall
design with GeoEngineers.

b. Preparation of Construction PS&E Documents: Task includes preparation of
Structural Engineering Plans, Technical Specifications, and Engineer's estimate
of probable construction cost (PS&E) for the bid and construction of the soldier
pile wall. KPFF will deliver Construction Documents and Calculations stamped
and signed by a registered Washington State Structural Engineer.
2. Civil Engineering: Scope includes the following tasks:
a. Preparation of Construction PS&E Documents: Preparation of Civil Engi-
neering Plans, Technical Specifications, and Engineers estimate of probable
construction cost. The Civil documents will include a site plan, wall alignment,
and temporary erosion and sediment control plan (TESC).
b. Review of the Existing Storm Water Conveyance: Currently, storm water
runs off the pavement, which may be contributing to the pavement damage.
Once the new wall is in place, the storm water pathway may be altered. A brief
study of the current and potential pathway will be made so as to determine what,
if any, work should be done in construction to mitigate potential future problems.
This study includes review of any record drawings that the City provides with re-
gard to storm water systems in the vicinity of the project and review of the
survey. The initial level of effort assumed for this task is minimal. If a brief
study reveals that a more detailed analysis, and/or design, is warranted, KPFF
will notify GeoEngineers and the City before proceeding.
3. Survey: Scope includes the following tasks as on optional task:
a. Perform Topographic Survey: This task will include the following items:
I. Perform GPS control survey to establish vertical datum and horizontal
coordinate system on City of Kent control network.
ii. Perform control survey of approximately 650 linear feet of SE 2401" St. to
extend from the top of the slope to the southwest to the Soos Creek Trail
at the bottom of the slope to the northeast.
III. Locate trees adjacent to the northeast side of the road.
iv. Obtain services of a private utility locator to locate underground utilities
contained within the project area.
v. Prepare AutoCAD basemap with section lines, right of way lines, and
topographic survey with 1-foot intervals.
SCHEDULE
It is our understanding that the City would like to proceed with construction of a wall as soon as
possible so as to have the wall in place prior to the start of the winter storm season. KPFF will
coordinate with GeoEngineers on the design schedule to begin design as soon as possible af-
ter the geotechnical explorations are complete. From the date that a usable survey, Notice to
Proceed is provided by the City and Geotechnical design recommendations are provided by
GeoEngineers, we anticipate to deliver 30% Submittal Documents within 3 weeks.
ASSUMPTIONS
We have made the following assumptions in writing this proposal:
I'
Mr. Lyle Stone

1. The Structural and Civil Engineering Scope includes (1) kick-off meeting at the City of
Kent.
2. KPFF will provide a 30% Submittal with Wall Layout and General Site Plan and a 90%
Review set of documents for the City to review and comment prior to issuing Final
Documents for bid and construction.
3. Technical specifications will be provided as Special Provisions to the WSDOT Standard
Specifications for Road, Bridge, and Municipal Construction, as amended by the City of
Kent.
4. All necessary topographic survey information will be provided by the City. Survey in-
formation will be provided in AutoCAD drawing format. The area necessary for survey
will be coordinated between the City, GeoEngineers, and KPFF, and will include ap-
proximately 550 feet of roadway from the top of the slope to the South of SE 240t' St, to
the bike path near the bottom of the slope to the North.
5. GeoEngineers will provide geotechnical design information and permitting services.
I
6. Separate exhibits will not be necessary for permitting. The Construction Drawings may
be used for permitting.
7. Structural design will comply with 2013 WSDOT Design Manual and AASHTO _RFD
Bridge Design Specifications as amended by the City of Kent.
8. The anticipated construction work is below the threshold for triggering storm water con-
veyance or storm water quality improvements. Therefore this proposal does not include
preparation of a Stormwater Site Plan or Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
9. Discharge locations will not be changed.
10. We understand that a soldier pile wall is the current preferred option. If during design,
another alternative is identified as the preferred option, we will notify GeoEngineers and
the City prior to proceeding.
11. The project manual will be assembled by others.
12. Survey will not be a boundary survey, property corners will not be set and no record
survey will be recorded. All boundary and righ-of-way lines will be based on found
monumentation and best available record information.
13. KPFF will be allowed unrestricted access to the site.
14. No title report or title analysis will be required.
15. Utility locations will be based on on-site locates and best available record information
and should be considered approximate only. Potholing utilities is not part of this scope.
i
16. The survey will contain information required for the purpose of preparation of construc-
tion documents for the soldier pile wall only. Signed survey sheets will not be provided.

TO: City Council
DATE: July 1, 2014
SUBJECT: SE 240th Street Slide Repair Project Pre-Approval — Authorize
MOTION: Authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents to enter into
a construction contract for the SE 240th Street Slide Repair Project, subject
to final terms and conditions acceptable to the City Attorney and the Public
Works Director up to a maximum amount of $700,000.
SUMMARY: A section of the northerly portion of SE 240th Street between 144th
Avenue SE and 146th Place has begun to suffer slope failure, resulting in damage to
the road. This failure is a result of the wet winter weather and the steep side slopes.
These cracks are threatening the integrity of the roadway and it is imperative that this
roadway be repaired before this coming fall/winter.
In order to proceed to construction in a timely manner, the Public Works Department
is requesting that the Council authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents to
enter into a contract with the lowest responsible bidder once bids are opened.
Depending on the schedule of the Committee and Council meetings, staff expects that
we will be able to inform either the Public Works or the Operations Committee of the
bid results prior to the actual bid award.

INTRODUCTION AND PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The purpose of our services is to design a repair for a slope instability located on the north shoulder of SE 2401h Street
between 144th Avenue SE and 146th Place SE in Kent, Washington. Our initial evaluation of the area and preliminary
options for repairs were provided in a memorandum dated April 1,2014 and a letter dated April 25, 2014. Our letter
discussed options to realign the road, construct a structural earth wall (SEW), or construct a soldier pile wall. We
understand that you wish to proceed with design of the soldier pile wall, because it is less likely to require acquiring
additional right-of-way or relocating existing utilities.
It appears that the unstable area, where the soldier pile wall will be constructed, is about 180 feet long. Our study
will include about 350 feet of road from the crest of the hill east of 144th Avenue SE down to 146V Place SE. The
soldier pile wall will be located on the down slope shoulder of SE 240th Street. The wall will be designed to support
all of the observed sloughing soil, but lagging will only be placed in the upper 3 to 5 feet of the wall. If or when the
slough extends further down the slope, additional lagging will need to be placed. We will design the wall to extend
beyond the current unstable area including provisions for adding soldier piles if adjacent areas become unstable in
the future.
ASSUMPTIONS AND DESIGN CRITERIA
City of Kent will provide all necessary topographic/civil site survey in AutoCAD drawing format. The area
necessary forsurvey will include approximately 550 feet of roadway. The survey must also include the slope
area on either side of the road. The slope survey should extend from the top of the slope south of SE 240th
Street to the bottom of the slope north or SE 240th. We include an optional line item for survey in our budget
and can provide these services if required.
Structural design will be based on 2012 American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials
(AASHTO).
0 We will not be reviewing or modifying the roadway alignment for highway geometric standards, project plans
will only address repairing the sloughed area. Repaving will be limited to repairing damaged areas from the
City of Scent`June ll.20Z4 Page 2
slough or from construction. We anticipate this will include isolated patches, a chip seal (moisture seal)over
the entire area, and restriping as needed.
W City of Kent will manage the construction bidding and construction contracting. GeoEngineers will provide
engineering support during bid and construction under a separate contract.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
GeoEngineers and their sub-consultant KPFF Consulting Engineers (KPFF) will provide geotechnical, structural, and
civil engineering design services for repair of the slope north of SE 240th Street. Our proposed geotechnical scope of
services is below; KPFF's proposed scope of services is attached. Our deliverable will be a set of construction plans,
technical specifications (based on Washington State Department of Transportation [WSDOT] and Kent Special

1. Advance up to four subsurface explorations along the north shoulder of the road in the proposed wall area. The
explorations will extend up to 40 feet into dense glacial soil. We have budgeted for a total of 240 feet of drilling.
We will mark our explorations and contact Washington State One-Call priorto starting drilling. A lane closure with
traffic control will be required to complete our explorations. We have assumed thatthe City will provide required
street use permits.
2. Provide geotechnical engineering recommendations for use by KPFF to design the retaining wall. Our
recommendations will be provided directly to KPFF in the form of design memoranda. We anticipate our design
recommendations will include:
Lateral earth pressures (active and passive).
Minimum wall embedment depths required for global stability.
I
I
Wall drainage requirements.
AASHTO Seismic Design Parameters.
3. Review 30 and 90 percent plans and specifications prepared by KPFF.
4. Prepare a Geotechnical Basis of Design report presenting a summary of our subsurface investigation and
construction recommendations for inclusion with project specifications and bid documents.
5. Prepare a SEPA checklist for the project. We understand that the City of Kent is the local permitting agency. We
will prepare SEPA forms and submit them with the plans and specifications for review by the City.
6. Incorporate City comments, as appropriate, and review final plans and specifications prepared by KPFF.
SCHEDULE
We understand that this is a time critical repair. We will make every effort to accelerate this schedule where possible.
We anticipate that explorations can be completed within two weeks of receiving a signed agreement (depending
drilling subcontractor availability). Structural and civil design can begin once the explorations are completed and
survey information is received. We anticipate that review documents (30 percent plans)will be delivered to the City
two to three weeks after completing explorations and receiving survey information. We anticipate that review

Subject: City of Kent Soldier Pile Wall
Structural Engineering Scope and Fee Proposal
Dear Lyle:
KPFF is pleased to provide this proposal to GeoEngineers for Structural Engineering services
for design of a soldier pile wall at SE 240" St. and 146'h Pl. SE in Kent, WA. GeoEngineers will
serve as prime consultant to the City of Kent (City) and will provide Geotechnical Engineering
services. KPFF will provide Civil Structural Engineering Services as a sub consultant to Ge-
oEngineers. We understand that survey drawings will be provided by the City for use in
design, however we have provided a scope and budget for survey to be provided by KPFF as
an optional task to the City.
BACKGROUND & PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
Our understanding of the project is based on information provided by GeoEngineers and from
our site visit on June 6, 2014. GeoEngineers has been working with the City to monitor the
stability of SE 240'h St. west of the intersection with 146'h PI. SE. Over a period of several
months, Geo Engineers has observed that the north edge of SE 240'h St. is sloughing. This
has resulted in damage to the asphalt pavement and reduction of useable roadway shoulder. If
left unattended, the pavement would likely continue to deteriorate ultimately impacting the drive
lane. We understand that the City's preferred option for remediation is to install a soldier pile
wall at the North side of SE 240'h St to retain and protect the roadway and soil beneath. The
wall is anticipated to be a cantilevered wall approximately 350 foot long with a retained height
of 15 feet.
KPFF proposes the following SCOPE OF WORK to prepare Construction Documents for the
soldier pile wall to protect SE 240'h St.
SCOPE OF WORK
Based on our understanding of the project we propose the following Scope of Work:
1. Structural Engineering: Scope includes the following tasks:
a. Review of Geotechnical Engineering for the soldier pile wall: Geo Engi-
neers will provide a lateral earth pressures and geotechnical design
recommendations, based on geotechnical explorations, for our use in design of
the soldier pile wall. KPFF will review the information and coordinate the wall
design with GeoEngineers.

b. Preparation of Construction PS&E Documents: Task includes preparation of
Structural Engineering Plans, Technical Specifications, and Engineer's estimate
of probable construction cost (PS&E) for the bid and construction of the soldier
pile wall. KPFF will deliver Construction Documents and Calculations stamped
and signed by a registered Washington State Structural Engineer.
2. Civil Engineering: Scope includes the following tasks:
a. Preparation of Construction PS&E Documents: Preparation of Civil Engi-
neering Plans, Technical Specifications, and Engineers estimate of probable
construction cost. The Civil documents will include a site plan, wall alignment,
and temporary erosion and sediment control plan (TESC).
b. Review of the Existing Storm Water Conveyance: Currently, storm water
runs off the pavement, which may be contributing to the pavement damage.
Once the new wall is in place, the storm water pathway may be altered. A brief
study of the current and potential pathway will be made so as to determine what,
if any, work should be done in construction to mitigate potential future problems.
This study includes review of any record drawings that the City provides with re-
gard to storm water systems in the vicinity of the project and review of the
survey. The initial level of effort assumed for this task is minimal. If a brief
study reveals that a more detailed analysis, and/or design, is warranted, KPFF
will notify GeoEngineers and the City before proceeding.
3. Survey: Scope includes the following tasks as on optional task:
a. Perform Topographic Survey: This task will include the following items:
I. Perform GPS control survey to establish vertical datum and horizontal
coordinate system on City of Kent control network.
ii. Perform control survey of approximately 650 linear feet of SE 2401" St. to
extend from the top of the slope to the southwest to the Soos Creek Trail
at the bottom of the slope to the northeast.
III. Locate trees adjacent to the northeast side of the road.
iv. Obtain services of a private utility locator to locate underground utilities
contained within the project area.
v. Prepare AutoCAD basemap with section lines, right of way lines, and
topographic survey with 1-foot intervals.
SCHEDULE
It is our understanding that the City would like to proceed with construction of a wall as soon as
possible so as to have the wall in place prior to the start of the winter storm season. KPFF will
coordinate with GeoEngineers on the design schedule to begin design as soon as possible af-
ter the geotechnical explorations are complete. From the date that a usable survey, Notice to
Proceed is provided by the City and Geotechnical design recommendations are provided by
GeoEngineers, we anticipate to deliver 30% Submittal Documents within 3 weeks.
ASSUMPTIONS
We have made the following assumptions in writing this proposal:
I'
Mr. Lyle Stone
June 11, 2014
Page 3
1. The Structural and Civil Engineering Scope includes (1) kick-off meeting at the City of
Kent.
2. KPFF will provide a 30% Submittal with Wall Layout and General Site Plan and a 90%
Review set of documents for the City to review and comment prior to issuing Final
Documents for bid and construction.
3. Technical specifications will be provided as Special Provisions to the WSDOT Standard
Specifications for Road, Bridge, and Municipal Construction, as amended by the City of
Kent.
4. All necessary topographic survey information will be provided by the City. Survey in-
formation will be provided in AutoCAD drawing format. The area necessary for survey
will be coordinated between the City, GeoEngineers, and KPFF, and will include ap-
proximately 550 feet of roadway from the top of the slope to the South of SE 240t' St, to
the bike path near the bottom of the slope to the North.
5. GeoEngineers will provide geotechnical design information and permitting services.
I
6. Separate exhibits will not be necessary for permitting. The Construction Drawings may
be used for permitting.
7. Structural design will comply with 2013 WSDOT Design Manual and AASHTO _RFD
Bridge Design Specifications as amended by the City of Kent.
8. The anticipated construction work is below the threshold for triggering storm water con-
veyance or storm water quality improvements. Therefore this proposal does not include
preparation of a Stormwater Site Plan or Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
9. Discharge locations will not be changed.
10. We understand that a soldier pile wall is the current preferred option. If during design,
another alternative is identified as the preferred option, we will notify GeoEngineers and
the City prior to proceeding.
11. The project manual will be assembled by others.
12. Survey will not be a boundary survey, property corners will not be set and no record
survey will be recorded. All boundary and righ-of-way lines will be based on found
monumentation and best available record information.
13. KPFF will be allowed unrestricted access to the site.
14. No title report or title analysis will be required.
15. Utility locations will be based on on-site locates and best available record information
and should be considered approximate only. Potholing utilities is not part of this scope.
i
16. The survey will contain information required for the purpose of preparation of construc-
tion documents for the soldier pile wall only. Signed survey sheets will not be provided.

SUBJECT: Solid Waste Franchise Agreement - Authorize
MOTION: Authorize the Mayor to begin the process to implement a solid
waste franchise fee for the purposes of maintaining the city street network.
SUMMARY: The City maintains 320 centerline miles of streets, over half of which are
residential. The Solid Waste Utility operates on these city streets across the entire
City. On residential streets the weekly garbage pickup and every other week recycling
or yard waste pickup are the heaviest vehicles these streets will carry. According to
the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, one fully
loaded garbage truck produces the wear and tear of 1,500 cars. This figure takes into
account the lighter compressed natural gas solid waste collection trucks required to be
used under the current contract.
Staff has analyzed potential benefits of the solid waste franchise fee option and
produced a table showing potential changes to rates if the franchise fee was included
as a percent of the waste hauler's gross income. Because of the complexity of various
levels of service for residential, commercial and multi-family customers, a comparison
was made using a standard 32-gallon cart for residential garbage collection service
(including 96-gallon recycling cart and 96-gallon yard and food waste cart) compared
to surrounding jurisdictions.
The City currently contracts with Republic Services for the entire City under a contract
that runs through March 31, 2018.

MOTION: Move to recommend Council set July 15, 2014 as the Public
Hearing date to consider the DRAFT 2015-2020 Six-Year Transportation
Improvement Program.
SUMMARY: The DRAFT 2015-2020 Six-Year TIP represents the City's proposed

2015-2020 CITY OF KENT
SIX YEAR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
Introduction
Overview
The 2015-2020 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 2008 Transportation Master
Plan. It represents Kent's current list of needed projects that may begin work in
the next six years. The document identifies secured or reasonably expected
revenue sources for each of the projects. The Six-Year TIP serves as a draft work
plan for the development of the local transportation network. Once adopted, the
TIP helps to guide funding and implementation priorities during the development of
the transportation portion of the Six -Year Capital Investment Program (CIP). The
CIP can be considered a subset of the TIP. The CIP shows the City-funded portion
of projects and is constrained by current budget forecasts, whereas the TIP shows
the complete project list with the variety of funding sources and partners involved.
Mandated by State Law
State law requires that each city develop a local TIP, that it be updated annually
(RCW 35.77.010), and that it be submitted to the State Department of
Transportation not more than thirty days after its adoption but before July 1st. It
represents an important planning component under the state's Growth Management
Act. For cities to compete for transportation funding grants from Federal and State
sources, granting agencies,require that projects be included in the TIP. The Six-
Year Transportation Improvement Program may be revised at any time during the
year by a majority of the Council, after a Public Hearing.
How is the 2015-2020 SIX-YEAR TIP different from the previous year?

PROJECT #1: Southeast 256th Street Widening, Phase II
SR 516 (Kent Kangley Road) to 116th Avenue Southeast
YEAR: 2015
DESCRIPTION: Construct a three lane roadway from SR 516 (Kent Kangley
Road) to 116th Avenue SE. This project includes bike lanes on
both sides of the roadway. The project will include construction
of full-width paving; concrete curbs, gutters, and sidewalks;
street lighting; storm drainage; landscaping; utilities; and
appurtenances. This project is under construction, retaining wall
work is underway. Surface water has been excavated and
conduit placement is complete:' Overall the project is 50%
complete. Additional work is planned in this corridor within the
6 Year planning horizon, see projects #21 and #30.

Construction $5,500,000
TOTAL..t ....... .........$7,000,000
FUNDING SOURCE(S): City of Kent, Local Improvement District, TIB
PROJECT
JUSTIFICATION: Southeast 256th Street is a two-lane roadway with no curbs,
gutters or sidewalks and a limited street light system. Despite
the 'lack of suitable pedestrian facilities and extremely harsh
weather in January 2012, over 650 pedestrians per day walked
along this segment of roadway. During peak hours, the
roadway cannot accommodate the traffic volumes due to the
large number of vehicles blocking the roadway while waiting to
turn left into driveways. The widening of Southeast 256th
Street also alleviates traffic on SR 516 (Kent Kangley Road) as
the two roads serve east/west travel demand. The project will
increase the capacity of this roadway by adding a center two-
way left turn lane. This project provides a multi-modal
connection between improvements west and east of this
segment.

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
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: 2015
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.

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
JUSTIFICATION: lMeridian 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.

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.

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

PROJECT
JUSTIFICATION: The 2008 Transportation Master Plan and the 2007 Nonmotorized
System Study proposed a network of shared lane routes on
transportation corridors throughout the city to help connect the
bicycle system. Lane markings and sign postings can inform
motorists and cyclists of those corridors best suited for significant
bike use. These shared-lane facilities can provide critical linkages to
major cycling activity centers and connections to the shared use path
systems. The city has a prioritized list of projects for bike lanes,
sharrows, and shared use paths. This project can help achieve the
City's goals for improving mobility, reducing vehicle trips, increasing
physical exercise, and improving transportation connectedness.

YEAR: 2015 - 2020
DESCRIPTION: Continue to provide enhanced transit service to meet the needs of the
community through the use of fixed-route shuttle service, with
demand-responsive routing capabilities. Routes 914/916 serve the
Kent Transit Center, Regional Justice Center, Kent City Hall, Green
River Community College's Kent campus, and local shopping and
medical facilities. The Route 913 shuttle connects the City's
manufacturing/industrial center with the regional bus and commuter
train services at the Kent Transit Center,

Implementation ............. $180,000
TOTAL.............. ................. 190,000
FUNDING SOURCE(S): City of Kent, CMAQ, King County, ITS
PROJECT
JUSTIFICATION: Routes 914/916 provide mobility and independence to many of the
cty's seniors and reduce the need for expensive ACCESS service for
marry wheelchair-lift service trips. Community circulating shuttles
encourage the participation of all ages, all economic groups, all
physical abilities, and virtually all of our community in everyday civic
life without the isolation and pollution of the automobile for every trip.
Commuter shuttles enhance the regional transit/train service by
providing the vital link from home or work to the Transit Center,
encouraging people to travel without their personal vehicles — thus
avoiding the cold-start impacts to air quality and reducing congestion
on local streets. The route 916 — East Hill portion of the 914/916 is
scheduled to be eliminated in February 2015. The Route 913 is
scheduled to be eliminated in September of 2015.

PROJECT #47: Railroad Quiet Zone for Downtown Urban Center
Ongoing Citywide Program
YEAR: 2015 - 2020
DESCRIPTION: Establishment of a railroad quiet zone for the Burlington Northern
Santa Fe Railway (BNSF) tracks and the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR)
tracks through the City of Kent. The grade crossings to be included in
the quiet zone on the BNSF railroad mainline are: S 259th Street, Willis
Street, Titus Street, Gowe Street, Meeker Street, Smith Street, James
Street, and S 212th Street. The grade crossings included in the quiet
zone for the UPRR mainline tracks are: Willis Street (SR 516), W Smith
Street, W Meeker Street, W James Street, S 228th Street, and S 212th
Street.
PROJECT COST: Preliminary Engineering .... $3,500,000
Right of Way Acquisition.. $0
Construction ..... $0
TOTAL.. ......... ...... ..$3,500,000
FUNDING SOURCE(S): City of Kent, Federal Rail Administration, FHWA
PROJECT
JUSTIFICATION: Locomotive' engineers begin sounding the train-mounted horn
approximately 1/4 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.

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 Kent;
• 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 Seattle"'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
�']As a large metropolitan city, Seattle receives an independent allocation of CDBG,ESG and HOME Program funds directly
from HUD.
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 HUD-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 funds 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.
RAIIP 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.
May 14, 2014

HOME Agreement Next Steps
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:

Program housing assistance activities which are eligible under 24 CFR Part 92.

and lead entity for the HOME Program funds has responsibility for and assumes all
obligations in the executing the HOME Program, including the ability to adopt amendments
to this Agreement for the purpose of adding new members on behalf of the HOME
Consortium and for the purpose of incorporating changes necessary to meet U.S. Department

compliance with federal requirements and submitting to HUD the Consolidated Housing and
Community Development Plan (Consolidated Plan), Annual Action Plans, and related plans
and reports, including the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice and the Fair

Consolidated Plan and related plans, and to prepare and provide those elements specifically
pertaining to the City.
HOME Interlocal Agreement 1 of 5 2015—2017
4. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect for the period necessary to plan and
carry out all activities that will be funded from HOME funds awarded for the 2015,2016 and
2017 federal fiscal years, the three-year qualification period that coincides with the

Community Development Block Grant, or until the County's designation as a participating
HOME jurisdiction or an urban county is rescinded by the United States Department of
Housing and Urban Development, whichever is shorter.

consortium member in writing of its right to decide not to participate in the Consortium for
the next qualification period, and King County will send copies of those written notices to the

incorporation of changes necessary to meet the requirements for cooperation agreements set
forth in the applicable HUD HOME consortia qualification notice for a subsequent three-year
qualification period, which King County as the lead entity shall act upon pursuant to Section
3 of this Agreement. King County shall submit any other amendments adopted by the City
and County to the HUD local field office by the applicable deadline.
7. During the term of this Agreement, neither the County nor the City may withdraw from
participation from their respective obligations under this Agreement.
8. By executing the HOME Agreement, the City understands that it may not participate in a
HOME consortium except through the County, regardless of whether the County receives a
HOME formula allocation.
9. This Agreement shall be executed in three counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an
original, by the chief executive officers of the County and the City, pursuant to the authority
granted them by their respective governing bodies. One of the signed Agreements shall be
filed by the County with the Region X office of HUD, one shall be filed with the City and
one shall be filed with the County. Prior to its taking effect, the fully executed Agreement
shall be filed with the County Auditor, or, alternatively, listed by subject on a public
agency's web site or other electronically retrievable public source.
10. The parties to this Agreement hereby agree to affirmatively further fair housing and to ensure
that no HOME funds are expended for activities that do not affirmatively further fair housing
within the boundaries of their jurisdiction or for activities that impede the County's actions to
HOME Interlocal Agreement 2 of 5 2015—2017

furthering fair housing" includes participation in the process of developing an Analysis of
Impediments to Fair Housing Choice and a Fair Housing Action Plan. While King County
has the primary responsibility for the development of these reports to HUD pursuant to
Section 3 of this Agreement, upon request, the City shall provide assistance to the County in
preparing such reports.

Program.

Agreement Cities, and two of the eight cities representatives shall be rotated among the cities

King County CDBG Consortium and HOME Program Consortium, including but not
limited to the Consolidated Plan and related plans and policies.

from King County CDBG Consortium and HOME Program Consortium funded activities
over the three-year agreement period, so far as is feasible and within the goals and
objectives of the Consolidated Plan.

programs to be undertaken with HOME Program funds, the JRC shall consider the advice of
inter-jurisdictional advisory committees. Sub-regional advisory committees, made up of one
representative from each participating jurisdiction in a sub-region that wishes to participate,

TO: City Council
DATE: July 1, 2014
SUBJECT: Ordinance to Establish a Parks and Recreation Commission - Adopt
MOTION: Adopt Ordinance No. , to establish a Parks and
Recreation Commission.
SUMMARY: The parks, trails and programs provided by the City touch the lives of
tens of thousands of residents each year. Effective delivery of those services and
stewardship of 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 is presenting the ordinance for adoption.

TO: City Council
DATE: July 1, 2014
SUBJECT: Public Safety Bond Ordinance - Adopt
MOTION: Adopt Ordinance No. , providing for an election to
authorize the City to issue general obligation bonds not to exceed
$34,000,000 to construct and equip a new police headquarters and related
training facilities, and to levy excess property taxes to pay the bonds.
SUMMARY: The City of Kent, Washington (the "City") currently owns and operates a
former library, which was remodeled over 20 years ago to serve as a short-term
location for the City's police headquarters.
When the city remodeled the library for this public safety building in 1991, the city
planned to accommodate approximately 85 officers. Now, the City's current police
force includes 144 commissioned officers with planned growth to approximately 160
officers by 2017. These commissioned officers do not include any of the staff that
operate the city's municipal jail, nor do they include administrative staff, police
records specialists, or evidence custodians and technicians.
Because of limited space availability, police officers, detectives, and support staff are
scattered among 4 different buildings. In the current police station, police officers do
not have enough locker space; there is insufficient room to store gear, including life-
protecting equipment such as bullet-proof vests; the "ready room" space for SWAT
and special forces mobilization is too small to adequately prepare for safety missions;
training rooms are undersized; the briefing room for oncoming police shifts is too
small to accommodate the staffing and briefing for special operations; officers and
support staff are stacked 2-3 persons per cubicle; and even broom closets have been
converted to office space.
This overflow of staffing and separation of police department personnel among four
different locations significantly impedes good communication. This particularly affects
one of the department's most important public safety initiatives, "Intelligence Led
Policing," which is a key strategy to effectively address crime and quality of life issues
in Kent. Intelligence Led Policing is an innovative, best practices model that utilizes
intelligence and data from citizens, informants, police reports, and calls for service to
deploy police resources to high crime areas and to focus on high impact
offenders. Crime trends, community concerns and quality of life issues can be quickly
identified and resources mobilized when this information is known. This model
provides for a safer community when officers, detectives and crime prevention staff
can effectively communicate. A single location where police staff can work together
and meet on a frequent basis leads to an improved ability to solve crimes.
The Kent City Jail is an older facility that houses offenders that pose a risk to our
community. An estimated 50% of the inmates have diagnosed mental health
issues. The current jail does not have the mental health crisis cell capacity to
effectively and safely secure the mentally ill and those in personal crisis. Passage of
the bond would enable the city to construct additional crisis cells. Also, the city would
replace wiring and plumbing within the jail facility, extending its life for about 30
more years.
The city needs to double the size of its twenty-five year old firearms training facility
to provide realistic training scenarios using current best practices for critical incidents,
including situations involving active shooters.
The City desires to address the insufficient capacity, crowding and inefficiencies of its
current facility through the construction of new police headquarters on the site of the
temporary location, together with related training facilities and other improvements
(the "Public Safety and Training Facilities").
To finance costs of the Public Safety and Training Facilities it is deemed necessary
and advisable that the City issue and sell its unlimited tax general obligation bonds in
the aggregate principal amount of not to exceed $34,000,000 (the "Bonds"), to be
paid from an excess property tax levy.

purposes and taxes levied to pay such Bonds must be submitted to the
qualified electors of the City for their ratification or rejection.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENT,
WASHINGTON, HEREBY ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS:
3 Public Safety
Bond Ordinance
ORDINANCE
SECTION 1, - FINDINGS. The City Council hereby finds that the
best interests of the residents of the City require the City to design,
construct, improve, furnish, and equip the Public Safety and Training
Facilities as identified in Exhibit A, which is incorporated herein by this
reference, at the time, in the order and in the manner deemed most
necessary and advisable by the City Council. The total cost of the Public
Safety and Training Facilities is expected to not exceed $34,000,000.
The cost of all necessary appraisals, negotiation, closing,
architectural, engineering, financial, legal and other consulting services,
inspection and testing, demolition, administrative and relocation expenses
and other costs incurred in connection with the foregoing capital
improvements shall be deemed a part of the capital costs of such
improvements. Such improvements shall be complete with all necessary
equipment and appurtenances.
The City Council shall determine the exact specifications for the
Public Safety and Training Facilities, and the components thereof, as well
as the timing, order and manner of completing the components of the
Public Safety and Training Facilities. The City Council may alter, make
substitutions to, and amend such components as it determines are in the
best interests of the City and consistent with the general descriptions
provided herein. The City Council shall determine the application of
moneys available for the various Public Safety and Training Facilities so as
to accomplish, as nearly as may be, all of the Public Safety and Training
Facilities.
If the City Council shall determine that it has become impractical to
design, construct, improve, renovate, acquire, or equip all or any
component of the Public Safety and Training Facilities by reason of
changed conditions, incompatible development, costs substantially in
4 Public Safety
Bond Ordinance
excess of the amount of Bond proceeds or tax levies estimated to be
available, or acquisition by a superior governmental authority, the City
shall not be required to provide such component or components. If all of
the Public Safety and Training Facilities have been constructed or acquired
or duly provided for, or found to be impractical, the City may apply the
Bond (as defined in Section 2) proceeds (including earnings thereon) or
any portion thereof to other public safety capital purposes or to the
redemption of the Bonds as the City Council, in its discretion, shall
determine.
In the event that the proceeds from the sale of the Bonds, plus any
other money of the City legally available therefor, are insufficient to
accomplish all of the Public Safety and Training Facilities, the City shall use
the available funds for paying the cost of those portions of the Public
Safety and Training Facilities deemed by the City Council most necessary
and in the best interest of the City.
SECTION 2, - AUTHORIZATION OF BONDS. For the purpose of
providing all or a part of the funds necessary to pay the costs of the Public
Safety and Training Facilities, together with incidental costs and costs of
issuance of the Bonds, the City shall issue and sell its unlimited tax
general obligation bonds in the aggregate principal amount of not to
exceed $34,000,000 (the "Bonds"). The Bonds shall be issued in an
amount not exceeding the amount approved by the electors of the City
and not exceeding the amount permitted by the constitution and laws of
the State of Washington. The balance, if any, of the cost of the Public
Safety and Training Facilities shall be paid out of any other legally
available funds. The Bond proceeds (and earnings thereon) shall be used
to pay the costs of the Public Safety and Training Facilities, together with
incidental costs and costs related to the sale and issuance of the Bonds,
and shall not be used for the replacement of equipment or for a purpose
other than a capital purpose.
5 Public Safety
Bond Ordinance
SECTION 3, - DETAILS OF BONDS. The Bonds provided for in
Section 2 hereof shall be issued in such amounts and at such time or
times as deemed necessary and advisable by the City Council and as
permitted by law. The Bonds may be issued in one or more series and
shall bear interest payable at a rate or rates authorized by the City
Council. The Bonds shall mature in such amounts and at such times
within a maximum term of 20 years from date of issue of a series, all as
authorized by the City Council and as provided by law. The Bonds shall be
unlimited tax general obligations of the City and, unless paid from other
sources, both principal of and interest on the Bonds shall be payable out of
annual tax levies to be made upon all the taxable property within the City
without limitation as to rate or amount and in excess of any constitutional
or statutory tax limitations. The exact date, form, terms, maturities,
covenants and manner of sale of the Bonds shall be as hereafter fixed by
ordinance or ordinances of the City Council. After voter approval of the
Bond proposition and in anticipation of the issuance of such Bonds, the
City may issue short-term obligations as authorized by chapter 39.50
RCW.
SECTION 4, - BOND ELECTION. It is hereby found that the best
interests of the inhabitants of the City require the submission to the
qualified electors of the City of a proposition authorizing the City to issue
Bonds for the purposes of funding the Public Safety and Training Facilities,
