of the City of Kent, Wash1ngton, and the Board of
Commissioners of King County F1re Protection
Distnct No. 37, prov1dmg for the submission to
qual1f1ed electors of the City and the Distnct, at a
spec1al elect1on to be held on Apnl 27, 2010, of a
propos1t1on that, pursuant to Chapter 52.26 of the

RECITALS
A. The ability to respond to emergency situat1ons by fire
protection and emergency med1cal service agenc1es has not kept up or
progressed with commun1ty needs and special serv1ce demands. Providing
an effective fire protection and emergency med1cal serv1ce system requires
a collaborative partnership and responsibility among local and reg1onal
governments and the pnvate sector.
B. There are efficiencies that can be gamed by regional fire
protect1on and emergency med1cal serv1ce delivery, wh1le mamta1nmg local
control. Timely development of significant projects can best be achieved
by using existing taxmg authority to address f1re protection and emergency

service needs, with new benefit charging authority to address critical fire
protection projects and emergency serv1ces.
C. The City of Kent Fire Department ("the City") and Kmg County
Fire Protect1on District No. 37 ("the D1stnct") have had a cooperative
partnership, striving to provide the highest level of fire and emergency
medical serv1ces to the1r c1t1zens withm the confines of available resources.
Th1s cooperative partnership began w1th an mterlocal agreement in 1973,
which prov1ded that the City and the Distnct would remain separate
entities, but would work together cooperatively.
D. In 2007, the City and the District formed a Stakeholder
Committee to evaluate the feas1bil1ty of creat1ng a new and separate
Regional Fire Authonty to provide the fire protection and emergency
serv1ces Within the boundaries of the City and the D1stnct. The members
of the Stakeholder Committee included c1t1zens of the City, the D1stnct, and
the City of Covington; union representatives of International Assoc1at1on of
Firefighters Local 1747; busmess owners in the City, the Distnct, and
Covmgton; and elected officials of the City, the District, and the City of
Covmgton. In 2008, over a n1ne-month penod, the Stakeholder Committee
met and completed a report recommending the creat1on of a Regional F1re
Protection Serv1ce Authonty as perm1tted by Chapter 52.26 of the Rev1sed
Code of Washington ("RCW"), to serve the City, the Distnct, and the City of
Covmgton, and a Planning Committee was formed to accomplish this task.
E. The Planning Committee met and prepared a Plan to create
the "Kent Fire Department Regional Fire Authonty," and to govern and
finance its operation. The Plan was approved by the City on December 8,
2009, and the D1stnct on November 16, 2009, and is formally adopted by
each ent1ty pursuant to th1s Jomt Resolution. Cop1es of the Plan are
available from the admm1strative offices of the City and the District.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Recognizing the challenges and opportunities that all fire jurisdictions are
facing, the City of Kent and King County Fire D1stnct 37, through a partnership of
many years, agreed m 2006, to explore the different options available in
operating and funding the Kent Fire Department.
In February 2008, the City of Kent and Kmg County Fire District 37 Regional Fire
Protection Stakeholders Report, recommended that the City and F1re Distnct develop a
Reg1onal F1re Authority (RFA) Plan. Through the efforts, ded1cat1on and professional
comm1tment of the ind1v1duals acknowledged, we have completed the RFA Plan.
On behalf of the City of Kent, King County F1re Distnct 37, and all Kent F1re
Department personnel, I want to thank everyone who participated in creating
the future vision of our organization that will ultimately provide the citizens
we serve and protect an enhanced opportunity to determine the level of
service they desire.
Your efforts are recognized and very much appreciated.

of a changmg community.
STRATEGIC OPPORTUNITY
To strategically position the Kent F1re Department and King County Fire District #37,
which includes the City of Covmgton, m a cost effective partnership that prov1des the
commun1ty w1th effect1ve and sustainable f1re and EMS services.
• Effective f1re and life sav1ng EMS serv1ce is dependent on three components
o Fire Prevention
• Safe buildmgs reduce fire risk, life loss, and reduce the long term
cost of emergency response;
o Public Education
• Perfect emergency response is not possible, the public must be
empowered to reduce the1r own nsk and provide time cnt1cal
act1ons pnor to arnval of f1ref1ghters;
o Emergency Response
• Perfect prevention does not ex1st, emergency responders must
arnve pnor to flashover in fire, and bram death in non-breathmg
patients.
• The three legs of the f1re service delivery system, f1re prevention, public
education and emergency response can only be sustained w1th adequate funding
o Level of Serv1ce performance obJeCtives prov1de the measure of adequate
service;
o Prevention, Educat1on and Response resources must be balanced to meet
the Level of Serv1ce obJective and assure the most cost effect1ve delivery
of serv1ce;
o Adequate funding of the f1re service delivery system IS evidenced by its
ab1l1ty to meet level of serv1ce performance obJectives. (Appendix A)

determmmg the FBC amount for each structure. The pnmary factor of the formula is
based upon the amount of "required f1re flow" or water needed to extmguish a fire, the
number of firefighters and equipment needed to effectively del1ver the required f1re
flow and their associated cost for f1ght1ng a f1re m the type and s1ze of structure bemg
assessed. As structure s1ze or f1re loadmg w1thin a structure increases, the need for
requ1red f1re flow, f1ref1ghters, and equ1pment also mcreases. The benefit charge 1s
based upon the Insurance Services Office (ISO) requ1red f1re flow formula and
considers these factors. Therefore, the Kent F1re Authonty Governance Board has
adopted the followmg formulas for the benefit charge:
One and two family buildings
vArea * 18 * CF * ERF * CPG *Sprinkler Discount= FBC
Multi Family buildings
vArea * 18 * CF * ERF * CPG * Spnnkler and Alarm Discount = FBC
Commercial buildings
vArea * 18 * CF * ERF * HF * CPG *Sprinkler and Alarm Discount= FBC
Definitions:
~ vArea: yArea is the square root of the total square feet of the buildings over
400 square feet located upon the property.
> CF = Category Factor: The category factor Is based upon building type and size.
This information is obtained from the King County Assessor database for each
building subject to the FBC. Category factors are listed below:
One and two family buildings:
Mobile Home = 0. 75
Smgle Family = 0.80
Condom1mum = 0.80
Multi-family buildings:
< 15,000 sq ft = 1.60
< 50,000 sq ft = 3.25
< 140,000 sq ft = 6.70
< 200,000 sq ft = 8.60
~ 300,000 sq ft = 11.10
> 300,000 sq ft = 14.25

APPENDIX B
Fire Benefit Charge
Commercial buildings
Commercral 1 = 1.00 < 4, 000 sq. ft.
Commercral 2 = 1 20 < 10,000 sq ft.
Commercral 3 = 1 40 < 30,000 sq. ft.
Commercral 4 = 1.50 <100,000 sq. ft.
Commercral 5 = 2.05 <200,000 sq. ft.
Commercral 6 = 3.00 >200,000 sq. ft.
~ ERF = Effective Response Force. The effectrve response force factor is
relatronal to the srze of force in firefighters and equipment needed to deliver the
requrred frre flow.
One and two family building ERF
< 1,800 sq ft = 1
< 2, 700 sq ft = 1 1
< 3,600 sq ft = 1.35
< 5,000 sq ft = 1.65
> 5,000 sq ft = 2.25
Multi-family building ERF
Three unrts or more = 1.5
Commercial building ERF
.:s. 8,000 sq ft = 1.18
.:5. 20,000 sq ft = 1. 75
< 30,000 sq ft = 2.65
> 30,000 sq ft = 4.00
~ HF = Hazard Factor: The hazard factor represents the degree of risk caused
by the use, processrng, or storage of hazardous materrals withrn a buildrng. The
hazard factor reflects the need for larger and/or more specialized effectrve
response forces. Hazard factors are determined from use and risk classifrcatrons
found rn the Natrona! Fire Protection Assocration's (NFPA) Standard 13
(Standards for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems).
Hazard Factors
Lrght Hazard
Ordmary Hazard -1
Ordrnary Hazard -2
Extra Hazard -1
Extra Hazard -2
= 1.00
= 1.10
= 1.20
= 1.30
= 1.40
~ CPG = Cost Per Gallon: Is the relative cost of providrng the required fire flow
per gallon durrng a frre incident. CPG rs a balancrng factor used as an adJustable
multrplrer to frnely tune the FBC calculatron across all propertres to reach
precrsely the desired target FBC amount.

Fire Benefit Charge
Estimated 2010 CPG = 0. 0 197678 (estimated unt1l adopted and
presented at public heanng as requ1red by RCW 52.26.230)
:> Senior Citizen Discount: By State law, semor discounts for the FBC are applied at the
same percentage of discount as those g1ven for regular property taxes. Th1s mformat1on
IS obtained from and mamtamed by Kmg County's property and tax records. FBC b1llmgs
Will be reduced by the quahfymg sen1or d1scount amount.
:> Sprinkler and Alarm System Discount: (7.5 to 15%)
Fire spnnkler systems 1n combmat1on w1th alarm systems will receive a 7.5 to 15
percent reduction dependmg upon system capab1l1ty. Part1al coverage systems
may not qual1fy for a discount. Alarms are categonzed as local (alertmg only
the occupants of the bu1ldmg) and momtored (alertmg both occupants and the
fire department)

:> Mobile Homes: Kmg County does not adequately maintain square feet data for
mobile homes. The average mob1le home size has been determined to be 1075
square feet.
:> Minimum Square Footage: The FBC w1ll not be applied to parcels with a total
improvement square footage of less than 400 sq. ft.
