ORDINANCE NO. #05&
AN ORDINANCE of the City Council of the
City of Kent, Washington, amending Chapter 3.40
of the Kent City Code entitled, "Part 12 Human
Services Fund," to alter the manner in which funds
are dedicated to the human services account.
RECITALS
A. On March 15, 1988, the city of Kent established the Human
Services Fund through ordinance No. 2773.
B. On May 16, 1989, Resolution No. 1205 established a
predictable funding base for human services of 1% of the city of Kent's
General Fund.
C. The fund is supported by the general fund as well as gifts,
donations and grants.
D. Expenditures from the fund have been used to support human
service needs within the city.
E. Over the years, the City has determined that human services
needs tend to increase when the economy trends downward. However,
when the economy trends downward, the City's general fund tends to

Ordinance
decrease. Therefore, human services funding tends to be lower in Kent
when there is a greater need for human services funding.
F. Tying human services funding to the general population will
result in a more predictable and stable stream of funding that is not
diminished when the economy trends downward and human services
needs increase.
