Filed the city’s response to a motion for discretionary review with the Court of Appeals. The appeal is from a 2017 conviction of a bail bondsman, who was convicted by a jury of two counts of Criminal Trespass in the First Degree; Malicious Mischief in the 3rd Degree, and Assault in the 4th degree. The incident involved the defendant going into a home to look for an acquaintance of the homeowners who had been at her house the day prior. The defendant believed his license as a bail bondsman gave him authority to commit those crimes, the city and the jury disagreed. The defendant is representing himself on the appeal. Four members of the criminal team participated in National Night Out on August 6. On Wednesday August 7, 21 DUI Therapeutic Court participants were set for review. Between those participants, they had a collective of 6,900 days of sobriety in the program. Managed 111 cases that were set for trial in August. Of those cases, 14 were confirmed to begin trial on Monday, August 12. All but 2 of those cases resolved. Of the two cases proceeding to trial, one trial relates to a criminal charge for obstructing a police officer when the defendant refused to allow police officers to enter his home to verify another’s safety when a report had been received 10 minutes earlier that a domestic violence assault had occurred. The second trial is for a charge of assault in the fourth degree when the defendant, a jail inmate, allegedly assaulted another inmate while they were both in custody at the Kent Correctional Facility. The defendant was serving a sentence for another assault he had previously committed against a co-worker.

If Tenant does not terminate this Lease and if the Premises are partially damaged but not rendered untenantable, Landlord shall diligently restore the Premises. Landlord shall have no obligation to restore the Premises if insurance proceeds are not available to pay the entire cost of such restoration. If insurance proceeds are available to Landlord but are not sufficient to pay the entire cost of restoring the Premises, the Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease and keep the insurance proceeds, by notifying Tenant within thirty (30) days of the date of such casualty. If the Premises are entirely destroyed and rendered untenantable, by fire or other casualty, and if Tenant has not exercised its right to terminate as provided above, Landlord may, at its option: (a) terminate this Lease as provided herein, or (b) restore the Premises to their previous condition. If Landlord restores the Premises under this Section, Landlord shall proceed with reasonable diligence to complete the work, and the base monthly rent shall be abated in the same proportion as the untenantable portion of the Premises bears to the whole Premises, provided that there shall be a rent abatement only if the damage or destruction of the Premises did not result from, or was not contributed to directly or indirectly by the act, fault or neglect of Tenant, or Tenant’s officers, contractors, licensees, subtenants, agents, servants, employees, guests, invitees or visitors. Provided Landlord complies with its obligations under this Section, no damages, compensation or claim shall be payable by Landlord for inconvenience, loss of business, or annoyance directly, incidentally or consequentially arising from any repair or restoration for any portion of the Premises. Landlord will not carry insurance of any kind for the protection of Tenant or any improvements paid for by Tenant or as provided in Exhibit B or on Tenant’s furniture or on any fixtures, equipment, improvements or appurtenances of Tenant under this Lease, and Landlord shall not be obligated to repair any damage thereto or replace the same unless the damage is caused by Landlord’s negligence or willful misconduct. b. If the Premises are made untenantable by eminent domain, or conveyed under a threat of condemnation, this Lease shall automatically terminate as of the earlier of the date title vests in the condemning authority or the condemning authority first has possession of the Premises and all Rents and other payments shall be paid to that date. In case of taking of a part of the Premises that does not render the Premises untenantable, then this Lease shall continue in full force and effect and the base monthly rental shall be equitably reduced based on the proportion by which the floor area of any structures is reduced, such reduction in Rent to be effective as of the earlier of the date the condemning authority first has possession of such portion or title vests in the condemning authority. Landlord shall be entitled to the entire award from the condemning authority attributable to the value of the Premises and Tenant shall make no claim for the value of its leasehold. Tenant shall be permitted to make a separate claim for the value of its leasehold. Tenant shall be permitted to make a separate claim against the condemning authority for moving expenses or damages resulting from interruption in its business, provided that in no event shall Tenant’s claim reduce Landlord’s award. 13.

The property insurance policy shall name Tenant as the insured and Landlord and Landlord’s lender(s) as additional insureds, with loss payable to Landlord, Landlord’s lender(s), and Tenant as their interests may appear.

ASSIGNMENT Tenant shall not assign, sublet, mortgage, encumber or otherwise transfer any interest in this Lease (collectively referred to as a “Transfer”) or any part of the Premises, without first obtaining Landlord’s written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No Transfer shall relieve Tenant of any liability under this Lease notwithstanding Landlord’s consent to such Transfer. Consent to any such Transfer shall not operate as a waiver of the necessity for Landlord’s consent to any subsequent Transfer. As a condition to Landlord’s approval, if given, any potential assignee or sublessee otherwise approved by Landlord shall assume all obligations of Tenant under this Lease and shall be jointly and severally liable with Tenant and any guarantor, if required, for the payment of Rent and performance of all terms of this Lease. In connection with any Transfer, Tenant shall provide Landlord with copies of all assignments, subleases and assumption instruments. This Lease shall be assignable by Landlord without the consent of Tenant. In the event of any transfer or transfers of Landlord’s interest in the Premises, other than a transfer for security purposes only, upon the assumption of this Lease by the transferee, Landlord shall be automatically relieved of obligations and liabilities accruing from and after the date of such transfer, except for any retained security deposit or prepaid rent, and Tenant shall attorn to the transferee. 8.D.a Packet Pg. 30 At t a c h m e n t : P e r k i n s L e a s e A g r e e m e n t ( 1 9 1 9 : P e r k i n s B u i l d i n g L e a s e A g r e e m e n t f o r C i t y S t o r a g e - A u t h o r i z e ) LEASE AGREEMENT – Page 7 of 14 (between the City of Kent and Perkins) Notwithstanding the foregoing, on June 8, 2011, Landlord consented in writing to allow Tenant to enter into a sublease agreement with the Kent Lions Club for a portion of the Premises, and Landlord’s consent for the sublease with the Kent Lions Club remains in effect for this Lease. 18. DEFAULT The following occurrences shall each be deemed an Event of Default: a. Failure to Pay. Tenant fails to pay any sum, including Rent, due under this Lease following fourteen (14) days written notice from Landlord of the failure to pay. b. Vacation/Abandonment. Tenant vacates the Premises (defined as an absence for at least fifteen (15) consecutive days without prior notice to Landlord), or Tenant abandons the Premises (defined as an absence of five (5) days or more while Tenant is in breach of some other term of this Lease). Tenant’s vacation or abandonment of the Premises shall not be subject to any notice or right to cure. c. Insolvency. Tenant becomes insolvent, voluntarily or involuntarily bankrupt, or a receiver, assignee or other liquidating officer is appointed for Tenant’s business, provided that in the event of any involuntary bankruptcy or other insolvency proceedings, the existence of such proceeding shall constitute an Event of Default only if such proceeding is not dismissed or vacated within sixty (60) days after its institution or commencement. d. Levy or Execution. Tenant’s interest in this Lease or the Premises, or any part thereof, is taken by execution or other process of law directed against Tenant, or is taken upon or subjected to any attachment by any creditor of Tenant, if such attachment is not discharged within fifteen (15) days after being levied. e. Other Non-Monetary Defaults. Tenant breaches any agreement, term or covenant of this Lease other than one requiring the payment of money and not otherwise enumerated in this Section, and the breach continues for a period of thirty (30) days after notice by Landlord to Tenant of the breach. 19. REMEDIES Landlord shall have the following remedies upon an Event of Default. Landlord’s rights and remedies under this Lease shall be cumulative, and none shall exclude any other right or remedy allowed by law. a. Termination of Lease. If an Event of Default occurs, Landlord may terminate Tenant’s interest under the Lease by giving thirty (30) days written notice of termination from Landlord to Tenant. The Lease shall terminate on the date specified in the notice of termination. Upon termination of this Lease, Tenant will remain liable to Landlord for damages in an amount equal to the rent and other sums that would have been owing by Tenant under this Lease for the balance of the Lease Term, less the net proceeds, if any, of re-letting of the Premises by Landlord subsequent to the termination, after deducting all Landlord’s Reletting Expenses (as defined below). Landlord shall be entitled to either collect damages from Tenant monthly on the days on which rent or other amounts would have been payable under the Lease, or alternatively, Landlord may accelerate Tenant’s obligations under the Lease and recover from Tenant: (i) unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of termination; (ii) the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time the award exceeds the amount of rent 8.D.a Packet Pg. 31 At t a c h m e n t : P e r k i n s L e a s e A g r e e m e n t ( 1 9 1 9 : P e r k i n s B u i l d i n g L e a s e A g r e e m e n t f o r C i t y S t o r a g e - A u t h o r i z e ) LEASE AGREEMENT – Page 8 of 14 (between the City of Kent and Perkins) loss that Tenant proves could reasonably have been avoided; (iii) the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Term of the Lease after the time of the award exceeds the amount of rent loss that Tenant proves could reasonably be avoided (discounting such amount by the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of the award, plus 1%); and (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under the Lease, or which in the ordinary course would be likely to result from the Event of Default, including without limitation, Reletting Expenses described in the following Section. b. Re-Entry and Reletting. Landlord may continue this Lease in full force and effect, and without demand or notice, re-enter and take possession of the Premises or any part thereof, expel the Tenant from the Premises and anyone claiming through or under the Tenant, and remove the personal property of either. Landlord may relet the Premises, or any part of them, in Landlord’s or Tenant’s name for the account of Tenant, for such period of time and at such other terms and conditions, as Landlord, in its discretion, may determine. Landlord may collect and receive the rents for the Premises. Re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord under this Section shall not be construed as an election on Landlord’s part to terminate this Lease, unless a written notice of termination is given to Tenant. Landlord reserves the right following any re-entry or reletting, or both, under this Section to exercise its right to terminate the Lease. Tenant will pay Landlord the rent and other sums which would be payable under this Lease if repossession had not occurred, less the net proceeds, if any, after reletting the Premises, after deducting Landlord’s Reletting Expenses. “Reletting Expenses” is defined to include all expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with reletting the Premises, including without limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, attorneys’ fees, remodeling and repair costs, costs for removing and storing Tenant’s property and equipment, and tenant improvements and rent concessions granted by Landlord to any new Tenant, for a period of six (6) months from date of default. c. Waiver of Redemption Rights. Tenant, for itself, and on behalf of any and all persons claiming through or under Tenant, including creditors of any kinds, hereby waives and surrenders all rights and privileges which they may have under any present or future law, to redeem the Premises or to have a continuance of this Lease for the Lease Term, as it may have been extended. d. Nonpayment of Additional Rent. All costs which Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord pursuant to this Lease shall in the event of nonpayment be treated as if they were payments of Rent, and Landlord shall have all the rights herein provided for in case of nonpayment of Rent. e. Failure to Remove Property. If Tenant fails to remove any of its property from the Premises at Landlord’s request following an uncured Event of Default, Landlord may, at its option, remove and store the property at Tenant’s expense and risk. If Tenant does not pay the storage costs within five (5) days of Landlord’s request, Landlord may, at its option, have any or all of such property sold at public or private sale (and Landlord may become a purchaser at such sale), in such manner as Landlord deems proper, upon written notice to Tenant. Landlord shall apply the proceeds of such sale: (i) to the expense of such sale, including reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred; (ii) to the payment of the costs or charges for storing such property; (iii) to the payment of any other sums of money which may then be or thereafter become due Landlord from Tenant under any of the terms hereof; and (iv) the balance, if any to Tenant. Nothing in this Section shall limit Landlord’s right to sell Tenant’s personal property as permitted by law 8.D.a Packet Pg. 32 At t a c h m e n t : P e r k i n s L e a s e A g r e e m e n t ( 1 9 1 9 : P e r k i n s B u i l d i n g L e a s e A g r e e m e n t f o r C i t y S t o r a g e - A u t h o r i z e ) LEASE AGREEMENT – Page 9 of 14 (between the City of Kent and Perkins) or to foreclose Landlord’s lien for unpaid rent. 20.

NON-WAIVER The failure of Landlord to insist upon strict performance of any of the covenants and agreements of this Lease, or to exercise any option herein conferred in any one or more instances, shall not be construed to be a waiver or relinquishment of the covenants and agreements of this Lease, or any other covenant or agreements, but the same shall be and remain in full force and effect.

SUBORDINATION This Lease shall automatically be subordinate to any mortgage or deed of trust created by Landlord which is no existing or hereafter placed upon the Premises including any advances, interest, modifications, renewals, replacements or extensions (“Landlord’s Mortgage”), provided the holder of any Landlord’s Mortgage or any person(s) acquiring the Premises at any sale or other proceeding under any such Landlord’s Mortgage shall elect to continue this Lease in full force and effect.

SUMMARY: King County and the Kent School District entered into a lease agreement 40 years ago for a pool to be built by King County on school district property. In 2002, King County was faced with a $52 million budget shortfall and could no longer continue operating the Kent Meridian Pool. In an effort to keep the pool open, in 2003, the City of Kent agreed to assume King County’s lease and entered into an assignment agreement, which transferred the lease and operation of the Kent Meridian Pool to the City of Kent. The lease agreement with the Kent School District was scheduled to expire on May 25, 2011. On May 3, 2011, the City Council authorized a ten-year lease extension with a new expiration date of May 25, 2021. However, Section 1.1 of the lease extension agreement authorizes the City to terminate the Lease with 90 days’ written notice. Through the original conveyance of this property from King County, it was made clear that the pool’s 40-year useful life expired in 2011. Since then, the City has made considerable efforts to keep the pool operating to the best of its financial ability, spending on average $30,000 per year in maintenance and repairs. Since the City took over operation of the Kent Meridian Pool, it has spent over $515,000 in maintenance and operation costs and over $1.3 million in operating subsidy. The pool continues to need significant capital re-investment in order to continue operating. In 2005, Kent Parks advanced a multi-year community feasibility process to build a new pool and community center, located at the City’s ‘Naden’ property, which turned out to not be financially feasible for the City to pursue. In 2018, the City negotiated an agreement with the YMCA of Greater Seattle to bring a new YMCA 8.E Packet Pg. 39 facility to the Kent community, which could provide a substitute pool along with additional community benefits. The previous operator of the pool, Aquatics Management Group, Inc. was given early notification of the City’s intent to no longer operate the pool and has now vacated the premises per its operating agreement. The Kent Meridian Pool officially closed its doors to the public on July 31, 2019. The new Kent YMCA will be open in September 2019. It is now appropriate to terminate the lease agreement and turn ownership over to the Kent School District, so it can either demolish the pool as the agreement provides or elect to continue operation at the sole cost and expense to the school district. BUDGET IMPACT: Operating subsidy for the pool operator will be reduced and transferred to the Kent YMCA per its long-term operating agreement. There will be identified savings in the Facilities Internal Service Fund that will be re-purposed into other project priorities. Cost to demolition and/or decommission the Kent Meridian Pool is at the sole expense of the Kent School District, per item 4.4 (pg 5) of the lease agreement.

A u t h o r i z e ) DATE: August 20, 2019 TO: Kent City Council SUBJECT: Introduce Verizon Small Cell Franchise Ordinance No Action Required - Introduction Only SUMMARY: The City has been negotiating franchise agreements with a number of telecommunications companies that are seeking to deploy new small cell equipment on Puget Sound Energy utility poles throughout the City. The City adopted a franchise with AT&T earlier this year. Small cells are a relatively new wireless technology and are low-powered with a smaller profile than traditional wireless communication facilities, i.e., monopoles. They are deployed to provide additional capacity for networks and sometimes to provide coverage in areas where the traditional cell phone towers are challenged by terrain or buildings. As consumers’ reliance upon mobile devices continues to increase, wireless infrastructure must continue to be upgraded and improved to keep up with demand. By all accounts small cells will be integral to the future deployment of 5G wireless technology. Accordingly, small cell deployment is expected to increase dramatically, with hundreds of individual cells deployed throughout the City. The installation of small cells raises safety and aesthetic concerns and will consume considerable City resources, including staff time. Small cell equipment can be small and compact, but can also be the size of a small refrigerator. Deploying this equipment on existing utility poles often means that the pole must be replaced to accommodate the additional load. Electrical safety standards must also be met, leading to the installation of taller replacement poles. Importantly, small cells also require fiber optics. Fiber is attached to small cells via conduits installed on the poles. Additionally, this fiber must run either aerially on wires or be installed underground. All of these small cell components directly impact the City’s rights-of- way. The legal landscape surrounding this technology has changed on federal and local levels. Recent action by the Federal Communications Commission has significantly limited local control over small cell deployments and requires the City to act on applications within compressed timelines. In response, the City has updated its code to establish a specific franchise application process and has established design standards and aesthetic requirements for small cells located within the right-of- way. 8.F Packet Pg. 90 The terms of the franchise agreement with Verizon Wireless include these new design standards and more broadly, attempt to balance the desire to embrace new technology with the need to address the safety and aesthetic concerns this technology raises. At the same time, it is the City’s intention that these terms to be flexible enough to accommodate the 5G equipment that is still being developed. Because small cell technology and the legal landscape surrounding it will continue to evolve, the franchise term was set for five years. Additionally, the franchise includes terms governing the relocation of small cell facilities to accommodate public improvements; requirements for the franchisee to keep detailed records of its facilities; and stiff penalties for the installation of unauthorized facilities.

AN ORDINANCE of the City Council of the City of Kent, Washington, granting to Seattle SMSA Limited Partnership, dba Verizon Wireless, and its affiliates, successors and assigns, the right, privilege, authority and nonexclusive franchise for five years, to construct, maintain, operate, replace and repair a small cell telecommunications network, in across, over, along, under, through and below certain designated public rights-of-way of the City of Kent, Washington. RECITALS A. Seattle SMSA Limited Partnership, dba Verizon Wireless, (the “Franchisee”) has requested that the City Council grant it a nonexclusive franchise (this “Franchise”) to construct, maintain, operate, repair, upgrade, remove, replace and restore small cell networks in the City’s right-of-way; and B. The City Council has the authority to grant franchises for the use of its streets and other public properties pursuant to RCW 35A.47.040. C. Small cell facilities are relatively new technology deployed by wireless providers to meet the evolving needs of consumers and their increased reliance upon mobile devices. To meet demand, wireless infrastructure must continue to be upgraded and improved. 8.F.a Packet Pg. 92 At t a c h m e n t : V e r i z o n - S m a l l C e l l F r a n c h i s e O r d i n a n c e ( 1 9 2 8 : I n t r o d u c e V e r i z o n S m a l l C e l l F r a n c h i s e O r d i n a n c e ) 2 Small Cell Franchise Agreement-- Verizon Wireless D. In contrast to the familiar cell phone towers and monopoles, small cells are low-powered and low profile wireless base stations that function like cells in a mobile wireless network and typically cover localized (smaller) areas. Wireless providers use small cells to provide connectivity in areas where the coverage and capacity of traditional cell towers are challenged by terrain or buildings and they also use small cells to provide enhanced capacity to users (e.g., more data, more quickly). Because they are smaller, small cells are often mounted to existing structures within the right-of-way, such as utility poles and light poles. E. Small cell facilities and networks will also be integral to the deployment of the next generation of wireless service, known as “5G” or “5th Generation.” Wireless providers and the Federal Communications Commission claim that 5G will provide additional capacity in existing networks for emergency service, increased data use, telecommuting, and the support of Internet of Things applications. F. The City embraces and supports small cell technology and the advances the City expects it to provide, yet also has a fundamental role to manage the rights-of-way fairly for the residents and tax-payers and protect the City’s significant investments of time, resources and money in construction, design standards and undergrounding of utilities. G. In order to balance the deployment of new technology with the City’s role to manage the rights-of-way, this franchise includes robust, yet flexible design standards for the small cells. It also includes requirements to keep a detailed record of small cell installations, relocation requirements and penalties for unauthorized installations.

The granting of this Franchise is not a substitute for any other City required approvals to construct Franchisee’s Facilities in the Rights-of-Way (“City Approvals”). The parties agree that such City Approvals (except Right-of-Way use permits as described in Section 8.3) are not considered use permits, as that term is defined in RCW 35.99.010. These City Approvals do not grant general authorization to enter and utilize the Rights-of-Way but rather grant Franchisee permission to build its specific Small Cell Facilities. Therefore City Approvals are not subject to the thirty (30) day issuance requirement described in RCW 35.99.030. The parties recognize that this provision is specifically negotiated as consideration for designating the entire City as the Franchise Area. Such City Approvals shall be issued consistent with the Codes, state and federal laws governing wireless communication facility siting and shall be in addition to any permits required under Section 8.3.

City shall provide written notice to Franchisee of any Unauthorized Facilities identified by City staff and Franchisee shall have thirty (30) calendar days thereafter in which to establish that this installation was authorized or obtain the applicable permit. Failure to establish that the installation is authorized will result in the imposition of an Unauthorized Facilities charge in the amount of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) per Unauthorized Facility per day starting on the thirty-first (31st) day. Franchisee may submit an application to the City under this Franchise for approval of the Unauthorized Facilities.

Franchisee may provide one standard Emissions Report which certifies that a standard Small Cell configuration (including power output, elevation of antennas above ground level, number of antennas) complies with FCC standards for its entire deployment, provided that the configuration of its Facilities remains identical (“Master Emissions Report”). Franchisee shall provide multiple Master Emissions Reports if it deploys different configurations within the City. All applications for Small Cells shall certify that the configuration is the same as or emits less emissions than the design in the standard Emissions Report. If an installation differs from the standard report as being more intrusive, then Franchisee will be required to provide a customized Emissions Report for such Small Cell installation.

SECTION 21. – No Interference. 21.1 Interference with Public Facilities. Franchisee’s Small Cell Facilities shall not interfere with any City operations (including, but not limited to, traffic lights, radio systems, or other City communications infrastructure), or PSERN (or its successor entity) communications operation or equipment. If the City reasonably determines that the Small Cell Facilities cause such interference, Franchisee shall respond to the City’s request to address the source of the interference as soon as practicable, but in no event later than forty-eight (48) hours of receipt of written notice. The City may require, by written notice, that Franchisee cease operation of the specific Small Cell Facilities causing such interference and either modify, remove or relocate such Small Cell Facilities.

Franchisee is solely responsible for determining whether its Small Cell Facilities interfere with telecommunications facilities of utilities and franchisees existing within the Rights-of-Way prior to Franchisee’s installation. Franchisee shall comply with the rules and regulations of the Federal Communications Commission regarding radio frequency interference when siting its Small Cell Facilities within the Franchise Area. Franchisee, in the performance and exercise of its rights and obligations under this Franchise shall not physically or technically interfere in any manner with the existence and operation of any and all existing utilities, sanitary sewers, water mains, storm drains, gas mains, poles, aerial and underground electrical and telephone wires, electroliers, cable television, and other telecommunications, utility, or municipal property, without the express written approval of the owner or owners of the affected property or properties.

If a claim or action arises, the City or any other indemnified party shall promptly notify Franchisee of such claim or action and tender the defense of the claim or action to Franchisee, which defense shall be at Franchisee’s expense. The City’s failure to so notify and request indemnification shall not relieve Franchisee of any liability that Franchisee might have, except to the extent that such failure prejudices Franchisee’s ability to defend such claim or suit. The City may participate in the defense of a claim, but if Franchisee provides a defense at Franchisee’s expense then Franchisee shall not be liable for any attorneys’ fees, expenses, or other costs the City may incur if it chooses to participate in the defense of a claim, unless and until separate representation as described in Section 22.6 is required. In that event, the provisions of Section 22.6 shall govern Franchisee’s responsibility for City’s attorney’s fees, expenses, or other costs. In any event, Franchisee may not agree to any settlement of claims affecting the City without the City's consent, such consent not to be unreasonable withheld or delayed. 22.6 Payment of fees and costs. a. If Franchisee refuses the tender of defense in any suit or any claim, as required pursuant to the indemnification provisions within this Franchise, and said refusal is subsequently determined by a court having jurisdiction (or such other tribunal that the parties shall agree to decide the matter), to have been a wrongful refusal on the part of Franchisee, Franchisee shall pay all of the City’s reasonable costs for defense of the action, including all expert witness fees, costs, and attorney’s fees, and including costs and fees incurred in recovering under this indemnification provision. 8.F.a Packet Pg. 126 At t a c h m e n t : V e r i z o n - S m a l l C e l l F r a n c h i s e O r d i n a n c e ( 1 9 2 8 : I n t r o d u c e V e r i z o n S m a l l C e l l F r a n c h i s e O r d i n a n c e ) 36 Small Cell Franchise Agreement-- Verizon Wireless b.

Provided, however, that in the event that such separate representation is or becomes necessary, and the City desires to hire counsel or any other outside experts or consultants and desires Franchisee to pay those expenses, then the City shall be required to obtain Franchisee’s consent to the engagement of such counsel, experts, or consultants, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. The City's expenses shall include all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses, such as consultants' fees and court costs, but shall not include outside attorneys’ fees for services that are unnecessarily duplicative of services provided the City by Franchisee, except in the event of a conflict of interest where such duplication may be required.

Such hearing shall be open to the public and Franchisee and other interested parties may offer written and/or oral evidence explaining or mitigating such alleged noncompliance.

Option #2 with exemption: Adopt Ordinance No.___________, regulating the distribution of carryout bags and requiring retailers to collect a pass - through charge from all customers for paper or reusable plastic bags except those using a voucher or electronic benefits card issued under food assistance programs. SUMMARY: Momentum is building to ban plastic bags within municipalities throughout western Washington and the state. Plastic bags pose major problems to garbage haulers, wildlife, and our environment. To date, over 30 jurisdictions have banned the use of single-use plastic bags. Staff has developed the attached ordinance options to ban single-use plastic bags and address paper carryout bags. Both ordinance options: 1) set March 1, 2020 as the effective date for the distribution ban on single-use plastic bags; 2) require a pass-through charge of eight cents to customers when retailers provide a paper bag or a reusable plastic bag. The amount of the charge is taken from the 2019 failed State legislation banning the distribution of single- use plastic bags; 3) provide that a violation of the ordinance is a Class 1 civil infraction, carrying a maximum $250 fine; and 4) require the Director of Public Works to evaluate the effectiveness of the ordinance and provide a report to City Council one year from the effective date of the ordinance. 9.A Packet Pg. 151 Ordinance Option #2 provides an exemption from the pass-through charge for those people using a voucher or electronic benefits card issued under food assistance programs. BUDGET IMPACT: None – There is no direct fiscal impact to the City by adopting either ordinance. SUPPORTS STRATEGIC PLAN GOAL: Inclusive Community, Thriving City ATTACHMENTS: 1.

AN ORDINANCE of the City Council of the City of Kent, Washington, amending the Kent City Code to create a new Chapter 8.02 regulating the distribution of carryout bags, prohibiting the distribution of single-use plastic bags, requiring retail businesses to collect a pass-through charge from customers, and establishing penalties for noncompliance. RECITALS A. The Washington State Legislature in chapters 70.93 and 70.95 RCW has established waste reduction as a priority in the collection, handling, and managing of solid waste for the benefit of public health and for a healthful, clean and beautiful environment. B. The State Legislature, in RCW 70.95.010(4), found that it is "necessary to change manufacturing and purchasing practices and waste generation behaviors to reduce the amount of waste that becomes a governmental responsibility." C. The Legislature, in RCW 70.95.010(6)(c), has also found that it is city governments that are ''to assume primary responsibility for solid waste management and to develop and implement aggressive and effective waste reduction and source separation strategies.” 9.A.a Packet Pg. 153 At t a c h m e n t : P l a s t i c B a g O r d i n a n c e O p t i o n 1 ( 1 9 0 8 : P l a s t i c B a g O r d i n a n c e - A d o p t ) 2 Adopt Chapter 8.02 - Re: Carryout Bags D. Plastic bags are made of nonrenewable resources. They do not biodegrade and can take hundreds of years to break down into small, toxic particles which can seep into the soil, waterways, lakes, and bays, posing a threat to animal life and the natural food chain. E. The United States Environmental Protection Agency estimates that 380 billion plastic bags and wraps are consumed in the United States, annually, while only approximately 5% of plastic bags and wraps are recycled. F. The Washington State Department of Ecology’s litter survey states that plastic bags and film are one of the ten most littered items along roadways in Washington State, by weight. G. Ecology's "Beyond the Curb" study of commingled residential recyclables from the Southwest Region estimates that it takes $700- $1,000 per ton for recycling centers to remove plastic bags and films from other recyclables. H. It is the City's desire to conserve resources, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, waste, litter, and marine pollution, and to protect the public health and welfare, including wildlife, all of which increase the quality of life for the City's residents. I. Decreased reliance on single-use carryout bags contributes toward the goals of conserving energy and natural resources while reducing greenhouse gases and litter. 9.A.a Packet Pg. 154 At t a c h m e n t : P l a s t i c B a g O r d i n a n c e O p t i o n 1 ( 1 9 0 8 : P l a s t i c B a g O r d i n a n c e - A d o p t ) 3 Adopt Chapter 8.02 - Re: Carryout Bags J. The City Council finds that it is in the best interest of the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of the City that regulations prohibit the use of single-use plastic carryout bags, and require a pass- through charge on recycled content paper carryout bags and reusable plastic film bags to encourage greater use of reusable bags, reduce the cost of solid waste disposal by the City, and protect the environment.
