5. 2021 Kent Design and Construction Standards
Susanne Smith gave a presentation on the 2021 Kent Design and
Construction Standards. Over the past several years the City of Kent Public
Works Department collaborated with departments throughout the City to
update the 2009 Kent Design and Construction Standards. The 2021 Kent
Design and Construction Standards were created from this effort.

The purpose of the standards is to the extent practicable, to set forth the
minimum requirements for specific and consistent construction of, and
improvements to: public and private streets, water utilities, sewer utilities
and storm water utilities; placement and operation of any utilities in rights-
of-way; and all excavation and grading in the City.
The 2021 Kent Design and Construction Standards have been submitted for
SEPA and to the Department of Commerce, the State Department of Health
and the King County Industrial Waste Program for review and comments.
There were questions from the board members inquiring lighting and possible
acoustic measures.
6. Transportation Master Plan (TMP) Update
April Delchamps gave a presentation updating the board members on the
Transportation Master Plan. The Transportation Master Plan (TMP) details
Kent’s transportation vision for the next 20 years. This vision crafted through
extensive public outreach and interdepartmental coordination can be seen in
the project lists as well as in the policies and actions. These two elements of
the TMP are a critical part of the roadmap for reaching the adopted goals.
They are two of the most tangible outputs of the Transportation Master Plan
update process.
The policies and actions provide direction and next steps that will facilitate a
variety of efforts. These efforts include grant applications for projects on the
prioritized project list, process updates to improve the flow to the 6-year
Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), data collection and analysis to
facilitate grant applications and to support partnerships, and external and
internal collaboration on projects and processes. Both the project lists and
policies and actions flow to the last element of the TMP, the plan
performance measures. There will be a future presentation on potential plan
performance measures.
The board members had questions about voting procedures and the City
Council as well as items on the project list.
