7. Resolution for Public Communications of Election Matters - Adopt
Deputy City Attorney Tammy White presented a request to recommend
Council adopt a resolution replacing Resolution No. 1600, the City's policy
concerning taping and airing of candidate statements and forum discussions
of candidates running for local office, to account for new technology and to
provide that all communication methods used by the City in its day-to-day
operations are also available to communicate objective facts in a fair manner
to Kent residents concerning local ballot measures. The last revision occurred
in 2001. The proposed resolution includes a provision that allows staff to
embrace new technology as it becomes available.
MOTION: Adopt Resolution No. 1980, updating the City's policy
concerning the taping and airing of candidate statements and forum
discussions of candidates running for local office to account for new
technology, and to provide that all communication methods used by
the City in carrying out its day-to-day business operations are also
available to communicate objective facts in a fair manner to Kent
residents concerning local ballot measures.

8. 2019 CDBG Annual Action Plan - Adopt
Senior CDBG Coordinator Dinah Wilson presented a request to recommend
Council approve the Proposed Community Development Block Grant 2019
Annual Action Plan. As an Entitlement City, the City of Kent receives
Community Development Block Grant (CBDG) funds from the US Department
of Housing and Urban Development. To receive CDBG funding, the City is
required to submit a Five-Year Consolidated Plan for Housing & Community
Development, and prior to the beginning of each year of the Consolidated
Plan must inform HUD and the community of the specific actions that the City
will execute to implement the objectives and strategies of the Consolidated
Plan. These are outlined in the 2019 Action Plan.
MOTION: Adopt the Community Development Block Grant 2019
Annual Action Plan (including funding allocations and contingency
plans), and authorize the Mayor to execute the appropriate
certifications and agreements.
