MOTION: Move to recommend authorizing a budget adjustment of
$654,000.00 for changes orders from JV Constructors, Inc. for the Town
Square Plaza Project, subject to final terms and conditions acceptable to
the City Attorney.
SUMMARY: Staff provided an update on the Town Square Plaza Project at the

the fact that Phases I and II of Project Springboard have not been completed, along
with addressing the significant amount of unsuitable soil that was found on the site.
Funds for this budget adjustment are available in the Parks CIP fund, and through
the deferral of some 2008 projects - namely Riverview Park.

SUBJECT: Cable Franchise Contract Consultant
MOTION: I move to approve entering into a contract with Bradley and
Guzzetta LLC, Attorneys at Law, for the purpose of assisting the City in
negotiation of the Comcast Cable Franchise for an amount not to exceed
$35,000 plus taxes and expenses.
SUMMARY: The City of Kent Comcast Cable Franchise Agreement will expire in June of
2008. The constantly changing landscape of emerging technologies in telecom, cable and
broadband, combined with recent FCC rulings, has created a trend toward National and
State franchising. This convergence of technology and policy also creates a complicated
and constantly changing set of priorities with multiple considerations. Local municipalities
like ours are often left with very little negotiating power and leverage.
The City would benefit from having a consultant with strong experience in negotiating
cable franchises and seasoned experience in the kind of climate we find ourselves today.
The recommended consultant, Bradley and Guzzetta LLC, is currently negotiating on
behalf of the cities of Auburn and Renton. This Valley Cities backdrop will provide us with
a measure of regional leverage along with cost sharing benefits. The negotiating team
will consist of staff from IT and Law coupled with the Bradley and Guzzetta principle,
Michael Bradley. Secondary support will be provided by the Bradley and Guzzetta
consulting firm as a whole.
BUDGET IMPACT: Funding for this effort was included in the 2007 Tech Plan which was
adopted as part of the comprehensive 2008 City budget.
