PROCLAMATTON
WHEREAS,Kent residents of all backgrounds and experiences contribute to our city's rich cultural
diversity, storied history and promising future, and it is impoftant to recognize the
positive contributions to our society made by people of all heritages and races; and
wHEREAS,African Americans have had a presence in the history of the Pacific Northwest since
the Lewis and Clark Expedition from 1805 and began settling in Washington State in
the 1850s. The first major turning point in the migration of African American pioneers
to the Northwest involved George W. Bush, from Philadelphia, who was one of the
leaders of the first organized party of settlers migrating to Puget Sound and was a
successfu,l farmer in the 1840s. Bush established Bush Prairie, now known as the city
of Tumwater. In the 1850s, there was George Winslow, a successful African American
businessman in Portland who was one of the wealthiest African Americans in Oregon,
and perhaps the Pacific Northwest.
wHEREAS,African Americans have also played an impoftant role here in Kent. From the
contributions and achievements of the first African American settlers in Kent¡ William
and Pauline Scott, who, after the destruction of their business by The Great Seattle
Fire of 1889, moved to Kent and ran a successful business leading to the ownership of
over 160 acres in Kent, to the most recent contributions of Gwen Allen-Carston,
President of the Kent Black Action Commission, an organization formed to give our
African American community a forum to come together on issúes; and, Kendrick
Glover, Kent's Person of the Year for 2015 and President of Glover Empowerment
Mentorship, an organization dedicated to serving and mentoring African American
youth between the ages of 13 and 21; and
wHEREAS,many other African Americans have made important contributions to our country,
including Martin Luther King, Jr., our nation's greatest civil rights leader; Ida B. Wells,
the renowned writer, teacher, women's suffragist and anti-lynching crusader; Jackie
Robinson and Earl Lloyd, the first African Americans to play in Major League Baseball
and the National Basketball Association, respectively; Thurgood Marshall, the first
African American United States Supreme Court Justice; and Rosa Parks, whose famous
decision to remain in her bus seat symbolized the spirit of the Civil Rights Movement;
NOW. THEREFORE, I, Dana Ralph, Mayor of the city of Kent, Washington, do hereby declare the
month of February, 2018, as
"AFRICAN AMERTCAN HTSTORY MONTH"
in the city of Kent, Washington, and urge all residents to become more aware of thei significance of
African American history and the heritage of our nation and city.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of Kent to be affixed this 6th
day of February, 2018

Dear Brian:
Please find our project proposal scope and fee for the Mill Creek Canyon Park Master Plan. We’re
thrilled to be able to contribute to the next phase of this legendary park, and aid in revitalization of
the Earthworks while reconnecting and expanding the overall function of the park to the larger
community. Our Mithun team includes Herrera Environmental Consultants to provide support on
environmental, stormwater and civil issues, John Langer Consulting for cost estimates, Studio
Matthews for engagement and branding, and NW Vernacular to aid in navigating the vital cultural
landscape issues.
The attached scope and fee is based on discussions between us and yourself, and the original RFQ,
which allowed us to clarify the scope required and allocate time for meetings and tasks. These are
outlined, including with our work products and key deliverables, along with an approximate
timeline for the work starting in February and continuing through December 2018
If this proposal is acceptable, please pass along necessary contract documents for agreement and
we can formalize this scope as soon as possible and get started as soon as possible.
We are really excited to get started, and look forward to working with you on this important
endeavor for the City of Kent and the legacy of Herbert Bayer’s work.
Sincerely,
Deb Guenther

ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE of the City Council of the
City of Kent, Washington, amending Chapter 2.60
of the Kent City Code regarding the Parks and
Recreation Commission to provide additional
opportunities through which the Parks and
Recreation Commission may assist the City in its
provision of parks and recreation services.
RECITALS

established in July of 2014, through the adoption of Ordinance No. 4117,
to help guide and assist the City as the City works to establish and
prioritize its parks and recreation services.

the Parks and Recreation Commission has discussed with Parks staff other
areas in which it believes it could assist the City, and Parks staff agrees
that there are additional opportunities available where the Parks and
Recreation Commission could provide assistance. Because the Parks and

an ordinance is necessary to effectuate any change to the Commission’s

Section 2.8. Public Comment. While the public may attend Commission
meetings, the meetings are those of the Commission itself and the public has no general
right to address the Commission. Commission meetings are not an open public forum, and
they are subject to restrictions imposed by the Chair, these bylaws, and the law.
The Chair has the discretion to authorize the public to address the Commission, if the
Chair so desires. If permission is granted, and prior to addressing the Commission, each
speaker shall sign in and state his or her name and address for the record. Remarks will be
limited to the time allocated by the Chair for each speaker, usually three (3) minutes per
speaker. All remarks shall be pertinent to matters considered by the Commission, and

matter at hand and shall be relevant and pertinent. When action of the Commission is
required, the Chair will request a motion for a vote. Each Commissioner shall be entitled to
one vote, including the Chair or other presiding officer. Motions shall be made, seconded,
and voted upon. The Chair is authorized to establish all reasonable and necessary
procedures to permit the casting of votes by Commissioners. Every Commissioner, unless
disqualified by reason of a conflict of interest or as otherwise provided by law or excluded
by the Commission, shall cast his or her vote upon any matter put to vote by the
Commission.
Unless otherwise directed by the Chair, all votes shall be by voice or a show of
hands. No votes shall be made by proxy. Any Commissioner who abstains from voting, or
who otherwise remains silent during a vote or enters a blank ballot, will be deemed to have
not have casted a vote on that item. As provided for in Section 2.12, an abstention will not
count as a vote, either in favor of, or in opposition to, any motion. Action by the
Commission requires only the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast, except where
otherwise required by these bylaws or law. Action of the Commission may be shared with
the City Council, the Mayor, the Director of Parks, Recreation, and Community Services, or
the Mayor’s Leadership Team. At the request of the Chair or of any Commissioner, any
BYLAWS OF THE CITY OF KENT
PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
Page 5 of 9 (01/12/18)
question shall be noted upon by a roll call and the individual voting results shall be recorded
by the Secretary in the minutes.
Where applicable, on sensitive issues, a confidential, written vote may occur. If this
option is used, it will be determined in advance by the Commission Chair. All written votes
will be submitted, read out load, and tallied.
Section 2.11. Conflict of Interest. A conflict of interest arises when a
Commissioner has a direct personal or pecuniary interest in the Commission’s action on a
matter, which interest is not common to other members of the Commission. If a
Commissioner determines he or he has a conflict of interest, that Commissioner may state
the nature of the conflict and abstain from the discussion and vote on the matter. A conflict
of interest, however, shall not preclude a Commissioner from remaining present during the
discussion.

Agenda Item: Consent Calendar – 8Q_
TO: City Council
DATE: February 6, 2018
SUBJECT: Budget Adjustment, Economic and Community Development Staffing –
Authorize
SUMMARY: The robust local economy has created an increase in building activity and
a high demand for City review of construction projects. While productivity among our
staff remains high, the demand has resulted in a growing backlog of work and strain
on staff throughout the permit review and inspection process. In order to avoid falling
further behind, additional staff resources are needed.
One result of the increased activity is revenues significantly in excess of the City’s
budget for the Economic and Community Development department. Revenue for 2017
was approximately $2.9 million over budget and the current economic forecast
indicates the City will experience a similar level of activity into the next biennium.
Three new hires would add to the department’s building plan review and inspection
capacity. These positions would be term-limited, meaning that they will be hired to
work full-time with benefits, but for a limited period of up to three years.
Additionally, we are seeking overtime funding for existing permit review staff as well
as contract permit review help in the Development Engineering section. Finally, to
address permit volume-related support needs, we propose increasing a Planning
Technician position that is currently a .75 FTE to 1.0 FTE.
Because of the need to eliminate the existing backlog on permit review and
inspections as quickly as possible, this item is coming to the full council on the same
day it is being brought before the Operations Committee.
EXHIBITS: None
RECOMMENDED BY: If passed unanimously by the Operations Committee, this item
will remain on the Consent Calendar; if not passed unanimously, it will be moved to
Other Business.
BUDGET IMPACTS: We currently estimate a budget increase of $450,000 to cover
the proposed staffing increases in 2018. The precise budget impact will be refined as
MOTION: Authorize the Mayor to fill two new limited-term Plans Examiner
positions and one new limited-term building inspector position, fund
overtime and contract permit review, and increase a Planning Technician
position from .75 FTE to 1.0 FTE.
we have more information on start dates, benefit selections, etc. When this is known,
the Finance Department will bring forward a budget supplemental that will cover these
costs for 2018. Funding will come from permit revenue generated above what was
anticipated in the 2018 budget.
Continuation of costs beyond 2018 will be included in the 2019-2020 budget requests.
Agenda Item: Other Business – 9A_
TO: City Council
DATE: February 6, 2018
SUBJECT: Proposition A - Police and Criminal Justice Ballot Measure Calling for an
Increase in Utility Tax - Resolution
SUMMARY: This resolution begins the process to submit to Kent voters, a ballot
proposition for the April 24, 2018, special election. “Proposition A,” will authorize the
City to raise the existing 6% utility tax on the gross revenues of companies operating
in Kent that provide electricity, manufactured and natural gas, telephone, and cable
television services by 2% for a total utility tax on these companies of 8%. State law
requires that voters must approve any utility tax on most of these companies that
exceeds 6%.
The purpose for this utility tax increase is to add staffing and provide equipment for
police and criminal justice services in Kent in order to fund these critical services in
our community. All funds received from the 2% increase in utility tax revenues will be
exclusively used to pay for the addition of more than 20 commissioned police officers
as well as to fund the impacts of additional police officers on police support services,
the City’s municipal court, its municipal jail, its prosecution division, and its public
defender office. The funds will be segregated from other funds of the City and
accounted for separately.
The Mayor’s expected allocation of funds derived from the 2% utility tax is set forth in
the attached “2% Utility Tax for Public Safety Forecast.”
King County Department of Elections must receive the resolution calling for the ballot
measure, the explanatory statement, and the pro and con committee appointments at
least 60 days before the special election, which is no later than Friday, February 23,
2018.

RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION of the City Council of the
city of Kent, Washington, providing for the
submission to the city’s qualified electors at an
election to be held on April 24, 2018, of a
proposition authorizing the city to increase the
existing utility tax by two percent (2%) for a total
utility tax of eight percent (8%) on the total gross
income derived from revenues of companies
operating in Kent that provide electricity,
manufactured and natural gas, telephone, and
cable television services in order to provide funds
to be used exclusively for additional police officers
and associated criminal justice programs impacted
by the addition of police officers in the city of Kent.
RECITALS
A. Kent has experienced dramatic growth in recent years. The
city now encompasses approximately thirty-five square miles in area, and
its population is the sixth largest in Washington State. With this growth
has come pressure on the city’s general fund as it strives to continue to
provide all city services to this dramatically increased population and
service area. A number of factors have contributed to issues with
continued funding of these services, including a property tax limitation of
one percent per year which causes a continuing structural revenue shortfall
because the one percent cap generally runs one to two percent below the
annual inflation rate. Also, due to Washington’s Streamlined Sales Tax
legislation, the city, according to the latest study, has incurred an annual
loss of expected sales tax revenue of approximately $12.7 million per year.
1 Police and Criminal Justice
Resolution
B. Of all city services, police and criminal justice services are
primary to its citizens. The city has strived to maintain its level of delivery
for these services, but staffing levels are challenged as the city grapples
with its recent growth. Police officers are working overtime, and more
officers are needed to adequately address criminal justice demands.
Adding more than 20 commissioned police officers would significantly
improve the city’s ability to deliver services critical to public safety. The
city needs these officers to maintain a level and quality of service that the
public needs and deserves.
C. Police officers are a significant part of the city’s public safety
network, but adding additional officers will also impact service and staffing
levels in police support services, the city’s municipal court, its municipal
jail, its prosecution division, and its public defender office. As a result, if
this additional funding becomes available, some part of that funding will
also be dedicated to these other critical branches of the city’s police and
criminal justice network.
D. The Kent City Council finds that it is in the public interest and
is imperative to public health, safety and welfare to increase the number of
Kent police officers and fund services that support the addition of police
officers
E. As authorized by law, the city currently imposes a six percent
(6%) utility tax on the total gross income derived from revenues of
companies operating in Kent that provide electricity, manufactured and
natural gas, telephone, and cable television services. Under state law, the
voters in the city may vote on a proposition to raise the utility tax over
that six percent (6%) amount.
2 Police and Criminal Justice
Resolution
F. In order to maintain and improve its police and criminal
justice operations at a service level that the citizens of Kent deserve and
expect, the Kent City Council has determined to ask the voters to increase
the six percent (6%) utility tax by two percent (2%), resulting in a total
utility tax of eight percent (8%) on the total gross income derived from
revenues of companies operating in Kent that provide electricity,
manufactured and natural gas, telephone, and cable television services.
G. All funds derived from the two percent (2%) increase in utility
tax will be exclusively used to pay for the addition of police officers, as well
as to fund the impacts of additional police officers on police support
services, the city’s municipal court, its municipal jail, its prosecution
division, and its public defender office. The funds derived from this
additional two percent (2%) utility tax will be segregated and dedicated
exclusively for public safety purposes and accounted for separately from
other city funds.
H. These conditions require the holding of an election in the city.
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENT,
WASHINGTON, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
RESOLUTION
SECTION 1. Findings. The City Council hereby adopts the
foregoing Recitals as its findings and determines that it is in the best
interests of the residents of Kent to provide additional funds to pay costs
of improving its police and criminal justice services.
SECTION 2. Increased Tax on Electricity, Manufactured and
Natural Gas, Telephone, and Cable Television Companies. The Kent City
Council finds and declares that, in order to preserve and protect the public
3 Police and Criminal Justice
Resolution
health, safety, and welfare, it is in the best interest of the city to submit to
the qualified electors of the city for their approval or rejection at the
special election to be held on April 24, 2018, a proposition authorizing an
increase from six percent (6%) to eight percent (8%) on the total gross
income derived from revenues of companies providing electricity,
manufactured and natural gas, telephone, and cable television services, to
be collected beginning July 1, 2018, or as soon thereafter as allowed by
law, and every calendar year after that. The King County Department of
Elections, as the ex officio supervisor of elections in King County,
Washington, is requested to call and conduct this election in the city and to
submit the proposition in the form substantially presented below to the
city’s electors on that date. Upon the voters’ approval of this proposition,
the city may use the proceeds of the utility tax increase exclusively to hire
additional police officers and other criminal justice personnel and
equipment and will account for the funds separately from other city funds.
SECTION 3. Ballot Proposition. The City Clerk is authorized and
directed to certify the following proposition to the King County Records and
Elections Division, as ex officio supervisor of elections in King County,
Washington, in substantially the following form:
CITY OF KENT
PROPOSITION A
2% UTILITY TAX INCREASE FOR
POLICE AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE SERVICES
In order to fund additional police officers and criminal
justice services in Kent, Proposition A would authorize
the city to levy a 2% utility tax increase, from 6% to
8%, on the total gross revenues of companies
providing electricity, manufactured and natural gas,
telephone, and cable television services in the city.
The additional revenue will establish police officer
staffing levels consistent with comparable jurisdictions,
4 Police and Criminal Justice
Resolution
and fund other criminal justice services impacted by
additional officers.
Should this proposition be:
APPROVED
REJECTED
SECTION 4. Changes. The Mayor and City Attorney may make
minor adjustments to the wording of this proposition as may be
recommended by the King County Department of Elections or the Office of
the King County Prosecuting Attorney, as long as the intent of the
proposition remains clear and consistent with the intent of this ordinance
as approved by the City Council.
SECTION 5. Notice Relating to Ballot Proposition. For purposes of
receiving notice of the exact language of the ballot proposition required by
RCW 29A.36.080, the City Council hereby designates the City Clerk.
SECTION 6. Request for Local Voter’s Pamphlet. The city requests
that the King County Department of Elections include the city’s ballot
measure, explanatory statement, pro and con statements and rebuttals,
and all other appropriate materials in the local voter’s pamphlet, if one is
already planned. If the County does not intend to publish a local voter’s
pamphlet for the April 24 special election, the city asks that one be
published for this ballot measure. In either event, the city understands
and acknowledges that it is responsible to pay the cost of publication and
delivery.
5 Police and Criminal Justice
Resolution
SECTION 7. Effective Date. This resolution will take effect
immediately upon passage, as provided by law.
PASSED by the City Council of the city of Kent, Washington, at a
regular open public meeting held this _____ day of February, 2018.
CONCURRED in by the Mayor of the city of Kent this _____ day of
February, 2018.

6 Police and Criminal Justice
Resolution
Explanatory Statement:
The city of Kent currently employs fewer police officers per 1000 residents when
compared to similarly situated Washington cities. Impacts from continued growth,
which include violent crimes and property crimes, as well as quality of life issues,
make it necessary to increase the number of police officers patrolling the streets
and investigating crime. Due to a legislative change in the manner in which goods
are taxed, the city has been unable to adequately fund the additional police officers
needed.
The city currently imposes a 6% utility tax on private electricity, gas, telephone,
and cable television utilities. If approved by the voters, Proposition A will increase
that tax on these utilities by 2%, raising the total utility tax on these services to
8%. This 2% utility tax increase will be devoted exclusively to fund additional
police and criminal justice services. It will allow the city to add more than 20 police
officers to patrol city streets and investigate crimes, and will fund other areas of the
criminal justice system, such as the jail, court system, prosecutors, and public
defenders, which are impacted by the addition of police officers.
The Kent City Council has determined that in order to preserve the health, safety,
and welfare of its citizens, it is in the best interest of the city to seek voter approval
of this 2% utility tax increase for the sole purpose of maintaining and enhancing
police and criminal justice services in Kent.

RESOLUTION NO. ___________
A RESOLUTION of the City Council of the
City of Kent, Washington, endorsing Proposition A
on the April 24, 2018, special election ballot, which
authorizes a 2% increase, from 6% to 8%, of the
existing utility tax on the total gross income
derived from revenues of companies operating in
Kent that provide electricity, manufactured and
natural gas, telephone, and cable television
services, in order to fund additional staff and
equipment exclusively for police and criminal
justice services in the City of Kent, and urging
Kent’s residents to vote “Yes” on that ballot
measure.
RECITALS
A. Kent has experienced dramatic growth in recent years. The
city now encompasses approximately thirty-five square miles in area, and
its population is the sixth largest in Washington State. With this growth has
come pressure on the city’s general fund as it strives to continue to provide
all city services to this dramatically increased population and service area.
A number of factors have contributed to issues with continued funding of
these services, including a property tax limitation of one percent per year
which causes a continuing structural revenue shortfall because the one
percent cap generally runs one to two percent below the annual inflation
rate. Also, due to Washington’s Streamlined Sales Tax legislation, the city,
1 Endorsing Prop. A
Resolution
according to the latest study, has incurred an annual loss of expected sales
tax revenue of approximately $12.7 million per year.
B. Of all city services, police and criminal justice services are
primary to its citizens. The city has strived to maintain its level of delivery
for these services, but staffing levels are challenged as the city grapples
with its recent growth. Police officers are working overtime, and more
officers are needed to adequately address criminal justice demands. Adding
more than 20 commissioned police officers would significantly improve the
city’s ability to deliver services critical to public safety. The city needs
these officers to maintain a level and quality of service that the public
needs and deserves.
C. Police officers are a significant part of the city’s public safety
network, but adding additional officers will also impact service and staffing
levels in police support services, the city’s municipal court, its municipal
jail, its prosecution division, and its public defender office. As a result, if
this additional funding becomes available, some part of that funding will
also be dedicated to these other critical branches of the city’s police and
criminal justice network.
D. The Kent City Council finds that it is in the public interest and
is imperative to public health, safety and welfare to increase the number of
Kent police officers and fund services that support the addition of police
officers
E. As authorized by law, the city currently imposes a six percent
(6%) utility tax on the total gross income derived from revenues of
companies operating in Kent that provide electricity, manufactured and
natural gas, telephone, and cable television services. Under state law, the
2 Endorsing Prop. A
Resolution
voters in the city may vote on a proposition to raise the utility tax over that
six percent (6%) amount.
F. In order to maintain and improve its police and criminal
justice operations at a service level that the citizens of Kent deserve and
expect, the Kent City Council has determined to ask the voters to increase
the six percent (6%) utility tax by two percent (2%), resulting in a total
utility tax of eight percent (8%) on the total gross income derived from
revenues of companies operating in Kent that provide electricity,
manufactured and natural gas, telephone, and cable television services.
G. All funds derived from the two percent (2%) increase in utility
tax will be exclusively used to pay for the addition of police officers, as well
as to fund the impacts of additional police officers on police support
services, the city’s municipal court, its municipal jail, its prosecution
division, and its public defender office. The funds derived from this
additional two percent (2%) utility tax will be segregated and dedicated
exclusively for public safety purposes and accounted for separately from
other city funds.
H. On February 6, 2018, the Kent City Council voted to submit
Proposition A to the City’s voters for the April 24, 2018 special election.
Proposition A asks the voters to consider the approval of a 2% increase in
the utility tax for companies that provide electricity, natural and
manufactured gas, telephone, and cable television services.

WASHINGTON, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
