FROM: Derek Matheson, Chief Administrative Officer
SUBJECT: CAO Report for Tuesday, October 02, 2018
The Chief Administrative Officer’s report is intended to provide Council, staff and community
an update on the activities of the City of Kent.
ADMINISTRATION
• The budget process continues with an all-day budget workshop on Saturday, October
6, at 8 a.m. in City Council Chambers.
• We created a Sound Transit project manager position (funded by ST) to coordinate
city departments’ work on the West Hill light rail project and serve as the primary
communications link between the city and ST.
Communications
• We continue testing and training for eConnect (GovDelivery) and were able to send
out our first resident email last week to residents who requested budget updates.
• This week, we are assisting with the promotion of Kent Downtown Partnership’s
Partners in Preservation campaign, where KDP has the opportunity to win $150,000
for the partial restoration of the Morrill Bank building. We are asking community
members to vote daily for the bank project at VoteYourMainStreet.org/Kent, now to
Oct. 26.
• We are assisting Parks in sharing their parks survey and hosted the first “Ask Me
Anything” with Mayor Ralph on Facebook.
• We are in the process of finalizing the work with consultant NW Research Group and
are targeting October 9 - November 4 as the collection period for the 2018 resident
survey. We anticipate top line results by the end of Nov. and a full report by the end
of Dec.
• It's wish list time for departments as they meet with lobbyist Briahna Murray and
Communications Manager Dana Neuts to discuss items for the 2019 legislative session.
Briahna and Dana will aggregate the "asks" and share with the mayor and CAO for
decision making and prioritization. The proposed legislative agenda will go to
Operations Committee and then the Council for final approval in late Nov. or early
Dec.
Community Engagement
• The Community Connections Pilot Project survey results are in. Initial data analysis
has revealed that 1/3 of all respondents work on weekends. More significant
Page 10 of 10
transportation barriers exist for those traveling to the Kent Industrial Valley. Safety
was among the highest reported barriers for Valley employees. The safety concern
ranked significantly higher for Valley employees than any other survey results
conducted by other Community Connection pilot projects regionally. Survey results
also indicated higher diversity within employees in the Valley. Complete results and
figures will be available at our next stakeholder meeting tentatively scheduled for the
second week of October.
Neighborhood Program

ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Economic Development
• Staff coordinated a meeting with King County’s economic development manager and
the presidents of Green River, Highline, and Renton Technical College to discuss
collaboration in the Kent Valley sub-region given the changes in the regional Workforce
Development Council.
• Pertinent to Phase 2 of Meet me on Meeker, Economic Development and Long-Range
planning staff met with counterparts at Kent School District to present visioning and
solicit feedback for the frontage of Kent Elementary School.
• Staff attended the King County Small Business Awards breakfast to cheer on three
Kent nominees, and celebrate Rural Small Business Award winner Reber Ranch.
• Along with Human Services, Economic Development met with Seattle Jobs Initiative
group to discuss their recently granted projects operating in Kent and collaboration
with the Kent funded AJAC training center.
• Staff continuously promotes Kent sites throughout the region as the market changes,
providing a high level of detail so that knowledge of these sites reaches the correct
target. Individual brokers and interested developers/investors are provided counsel on
the Kent marketplace and we forward promising sites or show them around.
• Staff continues to recruit applicants for grants from the Lodging Tax Advisory
Committee that are aligned with Economic Development goals.
• Economic Development, Puget Sound Regional Council and the Aerospace Futures
Alliance (now part of the Washington State Space Coalition) are planning an October
tour and panel discussion of Kent to an audience of business leaders, educators, and
elected officials.
Page 10 of 10
• Economic Development is supporting Kent Downtown Partnership in their several
Morrill Bank Building efforts, including a national historic preservation grant contest
and charrette with key stakeholders.
• Staff is talking with the National Main Street organization about next year’s Seattle
conference and how best to showcase Kent.
• Counsel was provided to a major employer who is having difficulty finding enough
workers. Staff provided information on regional workforce advocacy groups as well as
key personnel in career and technical education at our local schools.
• Staff is assisting in planning and creating content for media interactions that help
promote important City stories.
Code Enforcement
• Code Enforcement staff obtained a “dangerous building” determination from Kent
Building Services on Sept. 19 for a long-vacant, dilapidated four-plex located at S.
256th Street. Following the 30-day appeal period, legal staff will file for a warrant of
abatement from Superior Court to authorize the City to demolish the structure and
recover costs via a lien on the property. We expect the warrant process with the court
to take several months.
• The first citations for code violation infractions are going out this week. Thanks to the
combined efforts of code enforcement, legal, KPD, and Municipal Court team members
and the support of City Council, we are beginning a process we hope reduces the time
and paper required to bring properties into compliance. It is worth noting that revenue
streams may also improve with the simplified collection process.
Long Range Planning
• Staff participated in the Roadmap to Washington’s Future workshop, put on by the
Ruckelshaus Center. Workshop goals were to identify useful modifications to the
growth management framework of state laws such as State Environmental Policy Act,
Growth Management Act, and Shoreline Management Act. The facilitators sought to
understand how the planning framework of these laws and policies align with or create
barriers to creating the future Washingtonians want for their communities. The Tukwila
workshop was one of dozens taking place across the state. It was a rare chance to
give input on how the implementers of these laws – city planning staff – see their
utility, drawbacks and potential. Attending staff advocated for better use of
government resources through process reform and reduction of staff time required for
review. We collaborated with other South King County city staff to brainstorm solutions
to better meet the goals of GMA. We look forward to the report that incorporates all
the input from these workshops, potentially including legislative recommendations, in
mid-2019.
• Staff attended the Autonomous Vehicle Policy Conference in Mercer Island, sponsored
by TranspoGroup. At the conference, experts discussed policy issues including parking
codes, curb management, charging and network infrastructure, and fiscal issues like
changing parking revenues and fee/tax structures. They also discussed the potential
safety and environmental benefits of autonomous technology, and the need for high-
level, proactive policy support. Staff will be incorporating takeaways into the KIV
Subarea Plan effort.
• Staff also attended the PSRC Peer Networking Series on Transportation and Land Use,
which focused on transportation technologies and how the region’s Vision 2050 update
should incorporate those into future land use policy and planning. The workshop
included panel discussions from the ReachNow CEO and Puget Sound Clean Air
Agency’s Air Resource Specialist, focused on the benefits of electric, connected, and
shared mobility.

LAW
• The department continues to assist the Clerk’s office with public records requests and
HR with a number of complicated and sensitive employment issues. Staff continues to

projects and continues working with ECD on various Sound Transit matters.
• There were 4 code enforcement hearings this month:
Page 10 of 10
1. Two violations. One abated, one in progress. Hearing Examiner imposed
$600 fine with $400 suspended for 30 days. If the second violation is

• Staff presented evidence at a dangerous building abatement hearing before the City’s
improvement officer for a property on the West Hill. The owner failed to appear for the
hearing and the improvement officer ruled in the City’s favor, finding the building in
disrepair and ordering it to be demolished. The time period for appeal expires on Oct.
19, at which time the improvement officer’s ruling will be final and staff will pursue a
warrant for abatement in King County Superior Court.
PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY SERVICES
Cultural Programs
• The 2018-2019 Spotlight Series is set to kick off on Oct. 13 with an evening of Celtic
folk, pop, and rock featuring Irish quartet We Banjo 3 and Scottish band Skerryvore.
This show is already nearly 80% sold. Spotlight Series ticket sales are strong for the
whole season, with more than 1,000 tickets purchased since the season when on sale
in August. Spotlight Series builds inclusion (affordable ticket prices), influences
placemaking (top quality performances in Kent), and drives economic development
(47% of attendees come from outside Kent, more than half spend money dining out
in Kent).
• Kent Arts Commissioners chose the top 5 of 36 submissions from the most recent Kent
Creates exhibit – “Vacations and Summer Celebrations.” The winners are: “My
Collection – Beach,” a wood mosaic collage by Naoko Morisawa; “Carolyn Downs
2017,” an acrylic painting by Adrienne Barker; “Moonlight Ferry,” a photograph by
Erica Peto; “Summer Boats,” an encaustic painting by Joan Stuart Ross; and “Sweet
Strawberries Scented Flowers,” a mixed media collage by Suzanne Bailie. The winners’
artwork can be viewed at KentCreates.com. As an open, online platform for sharing
arts, culture, and creative pursuits, Kent Creates builds community and influences
inclusion.
Human Services
• Staff attended the FY2018 4th Quarterly Community Consultation with local
resettlement agencies. Organizations that receive funding to resettle refugees through
the Department of State’s Reception and Placement program have a federal
contractual requirement to meet with local jurisdictions. Resettlement funds are
administered by nine domestic resettlement agencies that have proven knowledge and
resources to resettle refugees. City staff is often invited to meet with administrating
agencies when they come to Kent to monitor programs; the two main resettlement
agencies in Kent are World Relief-Seattle and Jewish Family Service.
In the fourth quarter of 2018, 371 refugees were resettled in King, Pierce and
Snohomish County. This represents a 44% decrease from FY2017. For FY2018, the
top five countries of origin for those resettled in the area are as follows: Ukraine,
Afghanistan, Russia, Eritrea, and Burma. King County resettles the largest number of
refugees in the State (58%).
• The cities of Kent and Federal Way recently opened a parallel application process
specific to human services providers supporting under-represented/resourced
populations serving our residents. Applications will be due October 5, 2018. Agencies
Page 10 of 10
targeted for this funding cannot have received grants from our respective cities
previously and they must specialize in serving under-served residents. This will be the
second year Kent has participated in this pilot program, designed to acknowledge that
these organizations often receive a disproportional percentage of funds partly due to
the fact that many are led by directors and board members who are Limited English
Proficient (LEP). For more information visit the City of Kent Human Services website
to view the Letter of Interest and application.
Recreation
• “If you build it, they will come” was popular movie dialogue but it has turned out to be
true at the Hogan Park at Russell Road Sports Complex. In the interest of customer
feedback, youth development, health & wellness, economic value to the downtown
corridor, and facility stewardship, the Parks Department did “build it”. In February,
the community celebrated a grand re-opening of field #1 following a conversion to
multi-use synthetic turf. Synthetic turf means weather is seldom a problem and
options for multi-use mean you can play baseball in the morning and soccer in the
afternoon. The community “has been coming” since that re-opening and in six months,
the use and revenue has almost doubled! The field has created just one problem; a
desire and frequent request by community users for more synthetic turf fields.
Senior Activity Center
• The September Newcomers Social welcomed new members to the Senior Activity
Center. Ten of those new members also registered to volunteer at the center and
participated in the volunteer orientation/training program.
• The 8th Annual FD Cares Wellness Fair was extremely successful with over 200 visitors
in attendance. Participants received free flu shots, blood pressure and glucose
screening, along with information about fitness, housing, health, finances and social
services. The event raised nearly $4000 for the Kent Parks Deli & Café Lunch Program.
These funds will assist in off-setting the cost of lunch for low income seniors.
Youth-Teen-Adaptive
• Adaptive recreation programming focuses on the needs and interests of persons with
a wide spectrum of disabilities. Fall quarter fitness, health, general education and art
classes are 98% full. These programs are meeting social equity and inclusion goals.
• The After School Energy program kicked off at 13 elementary school sites across Kent
and Federal Way school districts. This program engages elementary age kids in
meaningful activities during the after -school hours. Staff promote physical activity
and less “screen time”, healthy cooking and eating choices, along with educational
support and mentoring.
POLICE
Staff Changes - reporting
• Commander Scholl will be Acting Assistant Chief while AC Kammerzell is out of the
office, Sept. 26 – Oct. 17.
Significant crime activities/arrests/investigations
• On Sept. 15, officers responded to a male that shot a gun into the air at Maggie’s on
Meeker. Officers arrived, and upon speaking with witnesses, determined one male
had a knife and threatened the man with a gun, the man with the gun shot a round
into the air to defend himself. The male carrying a knife or scissors was seen walking
away from Maggie’s and went into the bathroom at Town Square Plaza. Officers were
able to track down the man with the gun (victim) and determined as he was walking
out of Maggie’s with food, the suspect slammed into him. The victim and suspect had
Page 10 of 10
words, at which point while standing approximately two feet away from him, the
suspect pulled out some sort of stabbing instrument, held it up by his shoulders and
threatened to kill the victim. The victim shot a round to defend himself. Officers
deployed pepper spray underneath the locked bathroom door and the suspect exited.
He did not obey commands to get on the ground, and a 40mm less lethal was deployed,
striking him. The suspect was booked for felony assault.
• On Sept. 15, units responded to a hit & run involving a stolen vehicle in front of the
Fred Meyer on Pacific Hwy S where the driver of the stolen vehicle was fleeing. The
suspect ditched a gun on 29th Ave. S and ran into Appian Way Apartments where he
was located. He still had on his Pierce County home ankle monitoring bracelet. The
suspect admitted to stealing the car, causing the collision, fleeing with the gun, and
knowing he didn’t have a driver’s license and was subsequently booked into Juvenile
Detention.
• An officer was flagged down about a shoplift which had just occurred at the Kent Mini
Mart at 402 W. Meeker St. The suspect shoplifted beer and fled the scene. The suspect
was located near the intersection of 4th Ave. S. and W. Gowe St. He was still in
possession of the stolen beer. He attempted to leave the scene and ignored orders to
stop. When the officer attempted to detain him the suspect immediately resisted and
punched the officer. They both fell to the ground and the officer struck his head and
elbow. The officer managed to defend himself by striking the suspect and maintained
control until other officers arrived. The suspect was subsequently booked for assault
3rd degree and other crimes.

residents of Lake Meridian Ridge and Malik Ridge on the East Hill near Kent-Kangley
and 132nd Ave. to discuss traffic congestion and operation of the two-way left-turn
lane on Kent Kangley. A traffic investigation was conducted prior to the meeting. As
a result of the traffic study, adjustments to the traffic signal at Kent-Kangley and
132nd Ave. will be made. Neighborhood representatives thanked City staff for the
meeting.
• Staff met with representatives of the Kent School District to discuss the results of a
school walk route evaluation for Martin Sortun Elementary School on SE 248th St.
• 90% plans and specifications for the Kent Valley Signal System were submitted to
WSDOT for review. This project, partially funded by a Highway Safety Improvement
Program Grant, will replace 5 traffic signal cabinets, about 30 controllers and allow for
flashing left turn arrows in the north industrial part of the Kent Valley.
• Federal Way Link Extension – Staff is participating in the one-on-one meetings with
Sound Transit and three design build contractors beginning in September through the
end of the year.
Streets
o Street maintenance crews plan to replace a hot patch dig out at SE 260th St. and 101st
Ave. SE and blade the alleys along 4th Ave. S between Crow St. and Willis St. and at E
Temperance St. and Prospect Ave. N.
Water
• Water Quality staff collected 45 lead & copper sample bottles from residents and
submitted to our laboratory to be analyzed. This sampling is a federal requirement
that occurs every three years.
• Staff is replacing an air-vac assembly on W. Valley Highway between 212th Street and
216th Street.
• October 1 we begin a two-week leak detection survey of our water distribution system
up on the East Hill which will cover 55-miles of water main. A sonic leak detection
sound amplification instrument in conjunction with sensitive transducers are used to
conduct the survey that pin points leaks. From this we find leaks that are not visible
above the ground surface and are able to excavate and perform repairs.
Utilities
o Storm Crews plan to install an asphalt berm at 267th and 146th Ave. SE and plan to
plug and backfill a culvert end at 24827 128th Pl. SE.
o Sewer crews will perform a manhole changeout at S 216th St and 84th Ave S and on
SE 264th St at 114th Ave. SE as well as manhole inspections on Kenosia Ave. S at E
Titus St, on Woodland Way S at E Chicago St., Reiten Rd and E Guiberson St. and on
Seattle St. at E Hemlock.

Surplus land discussion – The City and Sound Transit will co-lead the surplus process
jointly working together on public outreach, community involvement, and the request
for proposal process from the development community.
Bonsteel indicated the Development Agreement contains a dispute resolution
process. The tentative plan is to hold a public hearing on the Development Agreement
in late October, early November and return to the Council with any proposed design
build changes.
The City and Sound Transit have agreed that the City liaison will be jointly located in
the field, and that the plan is to hire for the position early – prior to construction.
Council President Boyce requested that, in an effort to keep the Council informed,
the City team will provide them with information on the Development Agreement
prior to the public hearing.
Mayor Ralph expressed her appreciation for all of the hard work of Bonsteel and the
team that have been working on this complicated project. Mayor Ralph is confident
Kent will get the station we deserve and co-leading the project will help get to a
place.
Kent Station Sounder Garage update
Danielle Butsick, Senior Long-Range Planner, provided an update on the Kent Station
Sounder Garage.
Butsick indicated that Sound Transit selected a site for the new garage in November
2017.
Staff has been working with Sound Transit, Metro, and Sound Transit consultants to
develop and agree on a site layout. Sound Transit staff presented two layout options
– one with Railroad Ave. realigned to the west of the garage, and one with Railroad
Ave. realigned to the east. They also showed proposed space for active and layover
bus bay space, nearly all of which was on-street.
City staff had serious concerns about both layouts – for two main reasons: 1) King
County Metro plans to double service in this area by 2040 - the site planning envelope
as proposed does not provide enough capacity for additional buses; and 2) nearly all
the active and layover bus space is on-street, which requires the street to be wider
and limits visibility, creating an uncomfortable environment for pedestrians. This
conflicts with the city’s goals for a transit-friendly, pedestrian-first downtown. Staff
sent a formal letter to Sound Transit project staff on June 8th to document these
concerns.

The City received a formal response from Sound Transit on August 16, which was co-
signed by King County Metro staff. In the response, Sound Transit staff say that they
are moving forward with the option that realigns Railroad Avenue to the east of the
garage and places the garage where the cold storage building, and Sound Transit
surface lot are currently – the site planning envelope will not be expanded to
accommodate additional off-street bus bays, nor will bay space on the ground floor
of the garage be considered.
Metro staff affirmed that they are coordinating with Sound Transit and that the layout
as proposed does exceed existing conditions and makes progress toward their Metro
Connects vision, although a significant amount of the on-street bus bay space
proposed by Sound Transit is in City right-of-way taking up parking spaces and is
inconsistent with our goals and standards.
City staff are frustrated and disappointed at Sound Transit’s response and the City is
contemplating entering into a Development Agreement with Sound Transit for this
project.
Council expressed concerns over how to address future growth and the garage’s
capacity and requested additional information.
Public Works Construction Update
Eric Conner, Construction Manager and Chad Bieren, Deputy Public Works Director,
provided the 2018 public and private construction project update and detailed
projects that are being constructed in compliance with the Meet Me on Meeker

A. Mayor Ralph’s 2019-2020 Biennial Budget Message
Mayor Ralph presented her proposed 2019 – 2020 Biennial Budget message as
follows:
I am proud to present to you my proposed 2019-2020 budget. This is my first budget
process as Mayor, and I am encouraged with the communication and collaboration
among community, City Council and me during the budget process. I thank the City
Council for their willingness to engage on many important budget issues prior to the
submittal of my proposed budget. As a result of our collaboration, I am presenting a
budget that I feel reflects both Council’s and my shared commitment to providing
valuable government services to our residents in a cost-effective and efficient
manner. It makes progress towards our City’s strategic vision and respects the
opinions of our residents and businesses.
Within the $676.8 million total budget, $214.0 million is allocated to the General
Fund. The proposed budget is balanced and includes necessary expenditure
reductions as well as revenue increases to address the challenge of expenses
increasing at a faster rate than revenues.
Kent City Council Special Meeting September 25, 2018

As with previous budgets, the 2019-2020 process included significant challenges and
required difficult choices on how to reduce City spending in the General Fund. City
leaders also had to make decisions about how to best spend our valuable yet limited
resources. Unlike previous budgets, the upcoming biennium includes the first two
years of significant revenue reductions in the General Fund. The loss of state-shared
Streamlined Sales Tax mitigation revenues beginning in 2019, coupled with the
expiration of the Panther Lake Annexation Sales Tax credit in June 2020, will result
in a negative impact of over $10.0 million, or roughly 10 percent, to the City’s General
Fund revenues. The City has termed this impact the “fiscal cliff” to describe the
magnitude of the loss.
I am very proud of the steps taken previously to mitigate these impacts. While this
loss is certainly significant, the fiscal cliff would have been a much larger challenge
had the City not taken proactive steps. These steps include talking to our residents
about the fiscal cliff as early as 2014, making strategic transfers, eliminating negative
fund balances, refunding existing debt to reduce interest costs, and updating our
fiscal policies to address fund balance levels. Furthermore, the City continues to
utilize a conservative budgeting approach where realistic, albeit conservative,
revenue forecasting is used to inform expenditure levels. Additionally, the City made
the extremely difficult decision to begin levying the full property tax rate allowable
under state law beginning in 2018. Finally, the City has taken a lead role in working
with the State as well as other cities negatively affected by the state’s decision to
eliminate Streamlined Sales Tax mitigation monies beginning in 2019. Since we won’t
know the outcome of our efforts until after the City’s budget must be adopted, we
are planning for the worst-case scenario but are hopeful for a successful outcome
from this endeavor.
The magnitude of the fiscal cliff cannot be addressed with a single solution. The
budget includes a three-pronged approach to solving the loss of revenue: ongoing
expenditure reductions, new revenues and a reallocation of ongoing revenues.
The budget includes over $2 million in ongoing expenditure reductions by non-public
safety General Fund departments. These reductions range from cuts to line items to
reductions of positions and will unfavorably affect City services and programs not
related to public safety. The reduction exercise, while difficult, was another necessary
step to solve the coming fiscal cliff. While departments will do what they can to
mitigate the effects of these cuts, the fact of the matter is that the City workforce is
still very lean on the heels of the Great Recession, and we cannot continue to simply
add more workload on already overworked staff. The instruction I gave to
departments as they began to work on their reductions was, as the funding goes
away, the non-legally mandated work goes away too. While the initial strategy was
not to make any reductions until 2020, my proposed budget makes non-personnel
reductions as quickly as possible.
The second prong is an increase in revenues. The 2019–2020 budget includes a $1.2

increased volume, not increased rates. Other revenue adjustments include an
increase in interest revenue as a result of the new investment strategy. There is also
new revenue from water and sewer franchise fees. Beginning in 2020, the budget
includes an increase in City B&O tax rates which will increase revenue by roughly
$3.4 million. The B&O increase in 2020 is the first of four planned increases between
now and 2028. The decision to increase taxes is never easy and the decision to do so
was not taken lightly. The proposed changes to the B&O rate structure are based on
the City’s long-term economic development plan and include different rates
depending on the business type. The proposal maintains a threshold of $250,000 and
institutes a cap of $20 million on gross receipts from retail sales. The increased
revenue will be used to fund ongoing operations in the General Fund.
The final prong in the strategy for dealing with the fiscal cliff is the reallocation of
existing revenues. The 2019–2020 budget includes an annual shift of $470,000 in
sales tax collections from capital to fund ongoing operations. Out of necessity, this
continues the City’s shift of monies that have been historically used for capital
purposes. With the reality that government expenses continue to increase at a faster
rate than revenues, the City’s long-term financial forecasts include further
redirections of resources away from capital. While this isn’t ideal, under the current
environment, it is what is necessary to continue to fund status quo operations, even
at our reduced level.
Public safety for our residents, businesses and visitors continues to be the City’s first
priority. Excluding transfers, nearly 60 percent of General Fund resources are
dedicated to public safety. The 2019–2020 General Fund budget includes funding for
an increase of six police officer positions and a three-quarter-time parking
enforcement officer. The budget maintains funding with adjustments for inflation for
other public safety programs and departments: Municipal Court, Corrections and
Prosecution. Using revenue from the Council’s proposed red-light camera program,
my budget provides for body worn cameras and in-car video equipment for police
officers. It also provides resources to fully fund the car-per-officer program.
While reducing expenses in the General Fund, my budget includes a deliberate
strategy for greater efficiencies of City programs. The proposed budget includes an
increase of two new positions for our sign shop. These positions, which will be funded
from B&O revenues, will cost less and will provide a higher work output than the
current contract. My budget funds over $500,000 annually for contracted support to
extend the life of our current accounting and human resources information
management system. In addition, I have asked the City’s information technology
director to begin working with stakeholders on a replacement strategy for the system.
The proposal maintains remaining City services and programs at their current level
with adjustments for inflation and labor costs. Funding for new initiatives discussed
above is based on need, value to the public and Council policy. The strategic
operational expenditure increases which are included in the budget are backed by
sustainable revenues.

The Capital budget allocates the new $3.0 million revenue stream for long overdue
parks capital and major maintenance projects. The budget also includes allocations
of $3.0 million of fund balance each year from the Capital Resource Fund for
necessary work on Kent Commons, additional police department office space, the
senior center and IT projects. These are initial steps toward major renovations of
these aging assets. The capital budget also appropriates $200,000 of fund balance
from the Capital Resource Fund in 2019 for work to resolve the leaking roof in City
Hall and $1.75 million in 2019 for long overdue improvements to the City’s fuel island.
Resources for the fuel island also include $500,000 of Capital Resources Fund
balance.
Careful planning of our current general capital resources must take place to ensure
that we are using these monies as effectively as possible. Success in our ability to
restore our Streamlined Sales Tax mitigation monies from the State will certainly
have a positive impact on our capital resources. Any mitigation revenue the City
receives will be treated as one-time revenue for capital projects. This is a shift from
the way the City previously budgeted this revenue.
The proposed budget takes into consideration the feedback that I have heard from
residents and businesses. Earlier this year, I held three community budget meetings
where I was able to discuss the budget issues faced by the City, help educate the
community on the upcoming fiscal cliff and hear direct feedback on which City
services they value most. Not surprisingly, residents’ first priority was public safety
which my proposed budget advances. Additionally, I heard that they wanted to at
least maintain our current level of service in our adaptive recreation programs, which
my budget maintains, and finally, we heard that residents want a continuation of the
current services provided. While my budget does include expense reductions, I tried
to limit the impact as much as possible, given the magnitude of lost revenues.
The 2019-2020 proposed budget is the culmination of a nine-month long
collaborative effort among the Mayor, City Council, City staff and the Kent
community. Tonight, I respectfully transmit this budget to the City Council for
consideration. I would like to thank the Council and community for their willingness
to work together over the past nine months and thank City departments and Finance
staff for their creativity and hard work. I believe this work will result in a budget that
is supportive of the needs of our community while recognizing the challenges ahead.

Mayor Ralph and Council President Boyce indicated they wanted to be transparent
and provided additional details regarding the red-light camera program and clarified
that the program is an untapped revenue source. It is not being implemented for
public safety, it is a sin tax. Mayor Ralph indicated that after hearing from the
community, it was determined that the public is interested in sin taxes.
Council President Boyce indicated that this is a sin tax and if you break the law, you
will be ticketed.
Mayor Ralph indicated the School Zone Traffic Safety program is all about increasing
safety, and it is working since the number of tickets are decreasing.

order is necessary, Contractor must submit a written change order request to the person listed in the
notice provision section of this Agreement, section XV(D), within fourteen (14) calendar days of the date
Contractor knew or should have known of the facts and events giving rise to the requested change. If the
City determines that the change increases or decreases the Contractor's costs or time for performance,
the City will make an equitable adjustment. The City will attempt, in good faith, to reach agreement with
the Contractor on all equitable adjustments. However, if the parties are unable to agree, the City will
determine the equitable adjustment as it deems appropriate. The Contractor shall proceed with the

City before actually receiving the written change order. If the Contractor fails to require a change order
within the time specified in this paragraph, the Contractor waives its right to make any claim or submit
subsequent change order requests for that portion of the contract work. If the Contractor disagrees with
the equitable adjustment, the Contractor must complete the change order work; however, the Contractor
may elect to protest the adjustment as provided in subsections A through E of Section VIII, Claims, below.
The Contractor accepts all requirements of a change order by: (1) endorsing it, (2) writing a
separate acceptance, or (3) not protesting in the way this section provides. A change order that is
accepted by Contractor as provided in this section shall constitute full payment and final settlement of all
claims for contract time and for direct, indirect and consequential costs, including costs of delays related
to any work, either covered or affected by the change.
VIII. CLAIMS. If the Contractor disagrees with anything required by a change order, another
written order, or an oral order from the City, including any direction, instruction, interpretation, or
determination by the City, the Contractor may file a claim as provided in this section. The Contractor shall
give written notice to the City of all claims within fourteen (14) calendar days of the occurrence of the
events giving rise to the claims, or within fourteen (14) calendar days of the date the Contractor knew or
should have known of the facts or events giving rise to the claim, whichever occurs first . Any claim for
damages, additional payment for any reason, or extension of time, whether under this Agreement or

claim is made in strict accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement.
At a minimum, a Contractor's written claim shall include the information set forth in subsections A,
items 1 through 5 below.
FAILURE TO PROVIDE A COMPLETE, WRITTEN NOTIFICATION OF CLAIM WITHIN

result of the asserted events giving rise to the claim. The City shall have access to any of
the Contractor's records needed for evaluating the protest.

City determines that a claim is valid, the City will adjust payment for work or time by an
equitable adjustment. No adjustment will be made for an invalid protest.
C. Contractor's Duty to Complete Protested Work. In spite of any claim, the Contractor shall
proceed promptly to provide the goods, materials and services required by the City under
this Agreement.
D. Failure to Protest Constitutes Waiver. By not protesting as this section provides, the
Contractor also waives any additional entitlement and accepts from the City any written or
oral order (including directions, instructions, interpretations, and determination).
E. Failure to Follow Procedures Constitutes Waiver. By failing to follow the procedures of this
section, the Contractor completely waives any claims for protested work and accepts from
the City any written or oral order (including directions, instructions, interpretations, and
determination).
IX. LIMITATION OF ACTIONS. CONTRACTOR MUST, IN ANY EVENT, FILE ANY LAWSUIT
ARISING FROM OR CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT WITHIN 120 CALENDAR DAYS FROM THE DATE

performance of this Agreement, except for that portion of the injuries and damages caused by the City's
negligence.
The City's inspection or acceptance of any of Contractor's work when completed shall not be
grounds to avoid any of these covenants of indemnification.
Should a court of competent jurisdiction determine that this Agreement is subject to RCW
4.24.115, then, in the event of liability for damages arising out of bodily injury to persons or damages to
property caused by or resulting from the concurrent negligence of the Contractor and the City, its officers,
officials, employees, agents and volunteers, the Contractor's duty to defend, indemnify, and hold the City
harmless, and Contractor’s liability accruing from that obligation shall be only to the extent of the
Contractor's negligence.
IT IS FURTHER SPECIFICALLY AND EXPRESSLY UNDERSTOOD THAT THE INDEMNIFICATION
PROVIDED HEREIN CONSTITUTES THE CONTRACTOR'S WAIVER OF IMMUNITY UNDER INDUSTRIAL
INSURANCE, TITLE 51 RCW, SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS INDEMNIFICATION. THE PARTIES
FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE MUTUALLY NEGOTIATED THIS WAIVER.
In the event Contractor refuses tender of defense in any suit or any claim, if that tender was made
pursuant to this indemnification clause, and if that refusal is subsequently determined by a court having
jurisdiction (or other agreed tribunal) to have been a wrongful refusal on the Contractor’s part, then
Contractor shall pay all the City’s costs for defense, including all reasonable expert witness fees and
reasonable attorneys’ fees, plus the City’s legal costs and fees incurred because there was a wrongful
refusal on the Contractor’s part.
The provisions of this section shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

Staff completed an inventory and characterization report of existing Urban Separators
parcels, a consistency review to assess relevant policies, and conducted public outreach
in a variety of formats and venues. Based on the results of the public outreach process
and consistent with Kent’s comprehensive plan policies, staff developed three policy
alternatives: 1) no changes; 2) amend land use plan map and zoning designations for
a portion of the urban separator area west of Panther Lake along 108th Avenue SE; and
3) amend clustering requirements and allowed uses in urban separators and the SR-1
zoning district. A public hearing was held on June 25, 2018. Staff recommended
Alternative 3, amend clustering requirements and allowed uses in urban separators and
the SR-1 zoning district. The Economic and Community Development Committee
voted on September 10, 2018 to recommend Alternative 1, take no action.
BACKGROUND: Kent’s comprehensive plan and King County Countywide Planning
Policies designate certain areas in the city as Urban Separators. These areas are
intended to create visual definition within and between urban areas, buffer rural or
resource lands, preserve open space and opportunities for recreation, and connect
wildlife and critical area corridors. This designation effectively limits development on
these parcels to one residential unit per acre, as Kent’s comprehensive plan policies
require all Urban Separators to be zoned SR-1, the lowest density allowed under Kent’s
zoning code. Subdivisions in urban separators must be “clustered”; among other
requirements, this means that 50% of the unconstrained portion of the parcel must be
set aside as permanent open space.
City council directed staff to comprehensively review the urban separator designation
and evaluate its continued relevance in Kent. The alternatives presented by staff were
informed by comments received during one-on-one interviews, two public open houses,
and a public hearing, as well as the results from an online public survey. The
alternatives included 1) a no action alternative (no changes), 2) amendments to the
land use plan map and zoning designations for 8 parcels (6623400339, 6623400340,
6623400350, 6623400351, 6623400352, 6623400353, 6623400354, and 6623400355)
MOTION: Adopt the no-action alternative regarding Urban Separators as
recommended by the Economic and Community Development Committee
and the Land Use and Planning Board, as presented by staff, and deny
comprehensive plan amendment requests DKT-2014-2 and DKT-2015-1 for
not satisfying the review criteria or standards for comprehensive plan
amendments in Chapter 12.02 KCC.
in the westernmost portion of the Panther Lake urban separator, and 3) amendments
to the use tables and clustering requirements for urban separators and SR-1 zoning
district. Staff recommended alternative 3, amend clustering requirements and allowed
uses in urban separators and the SR-1 district. The Land Use and Planning Board, and
the Economic and Community Development Committee voted to recommend Alternative
1, take no action.

SUBJECT: Water Service Area Boundary Adjustment Agreement with Water
District #111 – Authorize
SUMMARY: The City’s and the District’s water service area boundaries were established
and approved pursuant to Chapter 70.116 RCW; the Public Water System Coordination
Act of 1977. In accordance with the South King County Coordinated Water System Plan,
the City and District have been designated the exclusive water service purveyors within
our respective authorized water service areas. The City’s and the District’s retail water
service area boundaries have also been established and approved pursuant to water
system plans approved by the Washington State Department of Health, King County,
and other public agencies with jurisdiction.
The City’s and the District’s exclusive water service area boundaries should be
adjusted to reflect existing service to properties provided by either purveyor. If
approved, this action will also adjust boundaries to conform to the edges of existing
lot lines, where possible, instead of bisecting existing lots.

WATER SERVICE AREA
BOUNDARY ADJUSTMENT AGREEMENT
This Water Service Area Boundary Adjustment Agreement ("Agreement") is
made and entered into by and between the City of Kent, a Washington municipal
corporation ("City"), and King County Water District 111, a Washington municipal
corporation ("District") (each individually a "Party" and collectively the "Parties") for
the purposes set forth below.
Recitals
A. The City is a non-charter code city formed and existing pursuant to
Title 35A of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW). The City owns and operates
water and sewer utility systems and provides retail water utility services to
customers located within the City's corporate and approved utility service area
boundaries.
B. The District is a water special purpose district formed and existing
pursuant to Title 57 RCW. The District owns and operates a water utility system and
provides retail water services to customers located within the District's corporate
and approved water service area boundary.
C, Portions of the District's and the City's water service area boundaries
are adjacent.
D, The City's and the District's exclusive water service area boundaries
have been established and approved pursuant to Chapter 70.116 RCW, the Public
Water System Coordination Act of L977 ("Act"). In accordance with the South King
County Coordinated Water System Plan prepared pursuant to the Act, the City and
the District have been designated the exclusive water service purveyors within their
respective authorized water service areas. The City's and District's retail water
service area boundaries have also been established and approved pursuant to water
system plans approved by the Washington State Department of Health (DOH), King
County, and other public agencies with jurisdiction.
E, The City's and the District's exclusive water service area boundaries
need to be revised to reflect existing infrastructure installed and maintained by
either the City or the District, as the case may be, and to revise both boundaries to
conform to the edges of existing lot lines, where possible, instead of bisecting
existing lots. It is cumbersome for developers, City staff, and District staff, when a
development proposal is submitted, and the water service area boundaries split the
proposed development into separate water service areas.
Therefore, in consideration of the terms and conditions set forth herein, the
Parties agree as follows:
Water Service Area Boundary Adjustment Agreement
(between the City of Kent and King County Water District 111)

4.3 Non-Waiver of Breach. Either Party's failure to insist upon strict
performance of any of the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement
or to exercise any option conferred by this Agreement in one or more instances will
not be construed to be a waiver or relinquishment of those covenants, agreements
