changes in regulatory laws, costs of operation, and other factors' The city
has made these fee adjustments at various times, the latest being adoption
of Resolution 2009, on APril 7,2O2O.
B. On March !6,202L, The Kent city council adopted an ordinance
updating the transportation impact fees in chapter 12.L4 of the Kent city

City Code. This resolution updates the fees established by the City to include
the administrative fees charged related to the administration of parks and
transportation impact fees. This resolution does not establish the impact fees
