RESOLUTION NO. I !)60
A RESOLUTION of the City Council of the
City of Kent, Washington, authorizing the Mayor to
execute applications for grants, acquire rights-of-way
and other property interests by lease or purchase for City
public works projects, and to accept dedications of land
and other property interests relating to land use
development in the City.
WHEREAS, the City is involved in numerous projects and programs in
which actions by the City, mostly ministerial in nature, would be best handled by
delegating them to the Mayor; and
WHEREAS, some of those functions relate to grant applications for the
funding of such programs and projects; acquisition of rights-of way and other property
interests by lease or purchase relating to public works projects; and acceptance of land
and other property interests as part of development approval; and
WHEREAS, the City Council believes that city actions relating to these
issues which have had prior council approval would best be served if handled by the
Mayor or his or her designee; NOW THEREFORE,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENT, WASHINGTON
DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The Mayor, or his or her designee, is authorized to do
the following:

1. To make application for grant funding for programs and
projects of the City subject to final approval by the council of acceptance of the grant.
2. To acquire right-of-ways and other property interests by lease or
purchase from designated project funds when the Council has specifically considered,
approved and budgeted the project or program for which the right-of-way or other
property acquisition is necessary. This authorization is subject to prior or concurrent
Council funding of the acquisition as part of a Council approved and budgeted project
or program. An example of such would be the acquisition of rights-of way for road
construction following council project approval and funding.
3. To accept land, appurtenances, and other property and property
interests that are dedicated to the City as part of a private developer's development
approval. Such authority is only granted to the extent the acceptance does not require

the property dedicated, unless the Council has approved that additional expenditure.

resolution is not intended to vest in the Mayor full authority to acquire by purchase

acquire by purchase those interests in property which are incidental and necessary to
the completion of projects or programs that have prior project and funding approval of
the City Council. Real and personal property acquisitions by purchase not incidental
to implementation of a prior approved proj,ect or program shall require the approval of
the City Council.
SECTION 3. Severabilitv. If any section, subsection, paragraph,
sentence, clause, or phrase of this resolution is declared unconstitutional or invalid for
any reason, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this
resolution.

prior to the effective date of this resolution is hereby ratified and affirmed.
