Phone: 253-856-5700

Address: 220 Fourth Avenue S.
Kent, WA. 98032-5895
DATE: 03/20/18
TO: Mayor Ralph
Councilmembers
FROM: Derek Matheson, Chief Administrative Officer
SUBJECT: CAO Report for Tuesday, March 20, 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 city council’s follow-up retreat on budget issues was last Friday, March 9. The
Mayor’s Office sent a summary email to councilmembers and employees last week.
•We’ve hired Dana Neuts as our next communications manager. Dana has served the
city on a contract basis since October and was one of 55 applicants for the position.
She will switch from contractor to employee on April 16.
•Executive assistants Pam Clark and Patrick Briggs will handle council administrative
support duties while we go through a process to replace Jennifer Hays, who left after
three years to become an executive assistant at King County Records & Licensing
Services. We are asking the council to increase the position from three-quarters time to
full-time (more than offset by a frozen position in the Mayor’s Office) and change the
cost allocation.
Communications Update
•The Communications Division has been busy with several public outreach projects
including Urban Separators, Prop A (information only), the FEMA community meeting on
March 21, and the Mayor’s budget “road show” (three separate meetings in March, April
and May). We are also beginning work on Mayor Ralph’s 2018 State of the City address
that is scheduled for April 26.
•We are working with Business View Magazine to share some of the city’s economic
development projects, and we are using the Medium blog platform
(Medium.com/@cityofkent) to tell more narrative stories. In technology news, we are
having a kickoff meeting with GovDelivery/Granicus next Monday for our new
eNotifications (formerly called eAlerts) system.
•Toni Azzola has been busy meeting with prospective neighborhood councils. At this
week’s meeting, the ECD Committee unanimously approved two new neighborhood
councils, Laurel Springs Lower Community Neighborhood Council and Connection
Condominiums, which we anticipate being approved at next week’s City Council
meeting.
2
• For community outreach, Uriel Varela has been developing a community engagement
strategic plan and is participating in the Metro Community Connections project. Uriel
has restructured the Cultural Communities board, so it is more functional and can serve
as a resource for city departments as they plan their outreach.
ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Planning
• Permitting staff in ECD are streamlining antiquated or redundant elements of their work,
with an eye toward protecting the public interest and meeting permit customers in the
most efficient way possible. Staff is currently focusing on how we process land
development projects, as well as minor utility permits. We expect these efforts to
improve our ability to provide timely permit review in this period of record demand.
Long Range Planning Services
• Long-range planning staff kicked off the Shoreline Master Plan periodic update with a
scoping meeting with Department of Ecology shoreline technical staff.
• Long-range planning staff has also embarked on a major public outreach effort for the
urban separator project that includes an online public survey, one-on-one interviews
with community members, and public meetings held at elementary schools on the East
and West Hill. Turnout so far has been very high - 50 people came to the East Hill public
meeting. Staff has had the opportunity to educate members of the public on the concept
of urban separators and what the project is intended to accomplish and continues to
gather feedback from the community about the best use of urban separators land.
• Long-range planning staff held the first of two workshops at Kent Elementary School
related to the “Meet Me on Meeker” project. The turnout was great with students,
families and staff in attendance. Participants engaged in a range of activities including
voting and writing comments on images of street/school edges from around the world--
giving staff and consultants a good sense for what might be desirable for the Meeker
design from the school's perspective. The second workshop in a few weeks will build off
these ideas with actual design concepts, resulting in a unified community vision for this
important section of Meeker Street.
• Long-range planning staff worked with Parks planning staff to draft and submit
comments to PSRC on their Regional Open Space Conservation Plan. While ambitious
with regards to conservation of large natural resource land, staff felt that the
importance of local parks to residents of urban areas was discounted and under-
analyzed. Staff looks forward to working with PSRC to ensure that local parks (which
are key to livability and place making) are given equal effort for strategic initiatives in
the region.
• Long-range planning staff met with Highline School District and other cities such as Des
Moines, Burien and SeaTac to discuss school siting needs and growth projections.
Highline School District overlaps Kent's Midway area where the Kent/Des Moines light
rail station will be opening, so coordination on property surplus and development could
yield innovative models incorporating educational facilities.

FINANCE
•The B&O team is busy testing our new taxpayer portal in preparation for Q1 tax

and schedules for the threshold and tax credit which went into effect on January 1. To
allow taxpayers enough time to adapt to the changes, the Quarter 1 due date has been
extended to May 31. Initial notification has been emailed to taxpayers and will be
followed up soon with a letter going out via regular mail.
•A group of our Finance staff attended the Municipal Finance Conference in Seattle last
Thursday. Topics discussed included natural disaster preparation and municipal credit
implications, fallout from Tax Reform with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, Advance
Refunding Alternatives, and a discussion of what’s next in the McCleary decision. As in
past years, the conference included special guest John Mitchell, an Economist from
Oregon, who always provides a thought-provoking review of local and national economic
trends. His presentation was excellent.

Planning Development
• Hogan Park at Russell Road’s Field 1 was officially re-opened with a public celebration on
Saturday March 10. After many years as a natural turf baseball/softball field, Field 1 was
resurfaced with all-weather synthetic turf, allowing for all-season play of multiple sports.
In addition to baseball, residents can now play soccer, flag football, rugby and lacrosse
on the field. Funding grants of $750,000 from the Washington State RCO and $25,000
from the Kent Lions helped finance the project.
• Kent Memorial Park will undergo a play area renovation and installation of a Wiffle® Ball
Field. Construction will begin later this month. Substantial completion is expected by
late May. The reconfigured playground will feature a free-play climbing component,
while the Wiffle ball field will feature officially sanctioned signage and imagery from both
the Wiffle Company and the Seattle Mariners.
• After a five-year closure due to the end of its useful life, the floating walkway at Lake
Fenwick Park is being replaced this spring. Work begins March 12, which will close the
south parking lot and boat launch until mid-May. The new walkway will have the same
footprint as the existing walkway and will be made of durable concrete float segments.
Substantial completion is scheduled for mid-May. Funding assistance of $75,000 came
from a King County Youth Sports Facilities Grant.
Recreation
• The Red Cross of Western Washington held their annual awards luncheon last week and
Kent’s Lake Meridian Beach Park lifeguard staff led by Beach Manager Sean Wruth
received the Red Cross Hero’s Award for the near drowning rescue of a 14 year old boy
last summer. Kent is fortunate to have this talented group of professionals; they are
clearly some of the best and brightest lifeguards in the region and we are very proud of
the important job they do daily during the summer.
• Spring and summer bring heavy use of parks and field space. Staff juggles the use of
20 picnic areas and shelters hosting over 250 local user groups. Scheduling and rental
of facilities is a challenging task with local, regional, and national organizations vying for
field space at Kent’s sport venues. Kent will host over 60 tournaments attracting over
65,000 visitors between April-September. The tourism dollars these groups bring have a
significant economic impact on our city.

•On March 2 Officers pursued a recklessly driven vehicle after it ran a red light on the
East Hill of Kent; the suspect vehicle struck a victim vehicle and then continued to
flee. As an Officer attempting to set spikes on James at 4th Avenue, the suspect
used her vehicle to purposely ram into the fully marked Police Tahoe. The Officer
sustained no injuries. The suspect pulled into apartments where she struck a large
bush and a disabled fire hydrant, causing her vehicle to stop. The suspect was taken
into custody and is a known criminal who frequents Kent. She had a Felony warrant
for her arrest out of KCSO for attempt to elude. She is also on active DOC
supervision. The suspect was booked into KCJ for: Eluding, Assault 3, Hit & Run x 2,
Reckless Endangerment, Unlawful Imprisonment, and Malicious Mischief.
•On March 3, Officers responded to the Central Ave. Pub for a fight involving at least
20 people. Four females were arrested for Disorderly Conduct for fighting and
attempting to interfere with officers making arrest.
•On March 3, Officers assisted on a domestic violence call at Hidden Ridge Apartments
arriving just after the fight started. One officer was assaulted during the incident and
three others received injuries while arresting the suspect. The suspect was charged
with Assault 4 and Assault 3 DV.
•On March 10, Officers were dispatched to an unknown if injury. Officers approached
the driver's side of the vehicle and found a Hispanic male passed out in the driver's
seat as well as another Hispanic male passed out in the passenger's seat. The driver
had a pistol in his lap. A second gun was located on the passenger’s seat once both
occupants were removed. The 22 year old driver and the 25 year old passenger

five of the most prevalent causes of collisions that result in death and serious
injury: Impairment, Distraction, Speed, Seat Belts, and not yielding to Pedestrians.
School issues
• On March 1 Officers were dispatched to a graffiti/ threats report at Mill Creek Middle
School. Someone had graffitied “Me shoot Mill Creek with gun 03/02 MAGA” on the
property. The suspect “MAGA” in this incident appears to be the same suspect who left a
similar graffiti message at Kent Meridian in the recent past. The school has notified
parents.
• On March 6, K9 officer was dispatched to Springbrook elementary for an alarm. He
arrived and found an open door. As he checked the door his K9 partner alerted to a
suspect inside who was actively stealing 10 laptop computers from the classroom. The
suspect was booked into King County Juvenile for burglary.
• On March 8 Officers were dispatched to a School Shooting Threat at Excel Public Charter
School, located at the New Beginning Fellowship at 19300 108 Ave SE. Principal Kristina
Howard explained that a student was heard threatening to bring a gun to the school,
shoot students, and then kill herself on 03/09/18. It was determined that the 13 year
old suspect told her mother about the statements made. The suspect was being bullied
on the bus by several subjects and she made the statement out of anger, not with any
real intention of doing it. The mother confirmed that the suspect does not have any
access to firearms as they are locked up. The principal was notified as to the status of
the investigation. She was very happy with our response and will look into the bullying
portion. She has already informed the suspect’s mother that she is not to return to
school until further notice.

SUBJECT: Appointments to the Bicycle Advisory Board – Confirm
SUMMARY:
Lynell Mooney is an avid cyclist who commutes from her home in Auburn to the Kent
School District on the east hill where she is employed. Lynell noted that bicycle
transport is on the rise and would like to see the Kent community have safe riding
areas and provide safety awareness as part of its master development plan. She is a
proponent for exercise and good health and would like to propose a secure and
pleasant alternative to driving to enjoy the Kent community on a bicycle.
John Otakie is employed at Boeing as an engineer and commutes to and from work
(approximately 4,000 miles per year). He is passionate about improving cycling
conditions and infrastructure in Kent. John has 28 years of service at Boeing and is
used to working as part of a team to accomplish goals. On a side note, John is a nine-
time STP finisher.
Wendy Graves resides on the east hill and commutes on her bicycle to work in the
Renton and Kent area. She is an avid recreational cyclist. She feels that getting from
her home on the east hill to downtown Kent can be treacherous and that Kent is not
very bike friendly. Wendy would like to provide input as a cyclist commuter to help
make Kent a better city in which to cycle.
Aaron Dent has commuted to work on his bicycle every day for the past 12 years. As
a cyclist and driver for FedEx freight, Aaron does not want Kent to become like
Seattle. Seattle’s attempt to make its roads safer has worked the opposite for both
drivers and cyclists. Aaron mentioned that Kent has done a good job incorporating
bike lanes into road improvements and education for both drivers and cyclists is the
next step.
Andrew (Andy) Sobczyk is a software engineer for Nvidia, Inc. Andy first applied to
the Board as he felt that the bike paths in Kent were in need of improvement and
stated he can either complain about the situation or help to make it better. He chose
to make the situation better and become an advocate for bicyclists by living up to a
quote from President Kennedy, “Any man can change the world and every man should
try.”
Brandon Swanson resides on the west hill and is currently employed as a Machinist
at Boeing. Brandon’s interest remains with the bicycling community and infrastructure
of Kent and would like to continue to help make Kent a world class cycling city.
MOTION: Confirm Mayor Ralph’s appointment of Lynell Mooney, John
Otakie, Wendy Graves and Aaron Dent to the Kent Bicycle Advisory Board
for two-year terms, along with reappointment of Andrew (Andy) Sobczyk
and Brandon Swanson for additional two-year terms that will expire on

The City, for the municipal purpose of obtaining a groundwater supply source
for the City water system, annexed an island area generally referred to as the
“Clark Springs” area, as legally described in Exhibit A, which area is located within
Covington’s service area; and
Pursuant to the Water Service Agreement dated June 3, 1992 (the “1992
Agreement”) between the City and the District, the City authorized the District to
construct and operate a water service transmission line through the Clark Springs
area for the benefit of the District’s customers; and
The 1992 Agreement contemplated the possibility of a 25-year extension,
provided that the District is in compliance with its terms and conditions; and
The parties desire to enter into this Agreement to evidence their continuing
agreement as it relates to the District’s water service transmission line that passes
through the Clark Spring’s area; and
The City and the District are public agencies authorized by law to engage in
furnishing domestic water service, and to that end, may, through their legislative
authorities, enter into a contract with respect to the rights, powers, duties and
obligations of the parties regarding the use and ownership of the facilities, the right
to promulgate rules and regulations, to levy and collect special assessments, rates,
charges, service charges and connection fees, the performance of contractual
obligations and any other matters arising out of the provision of the District’s
service to areas within the City, all pursuant to and in accordance with chapter
70.116 RCW (Public Water System Coordination Act), RCW 39.34.080, and other
applicable laws; NOW THEREFORE:
In consideration of the mutual promises contained herein and in the Water
Service Agreement, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties
agree as follows:
2
603894.3
1. AUTHORIZATION TO OPERATE A WATER SERVICE
TRANSMISSION LINE.

provisions, terms and conditions of this Agreement.
1.2 The District may also repair, renew, replace, or enlarge the District
Facilities as necessary for purposes of its water utility functions.
1.3 The grant of authority is non-exclusive. The City may enter into other
agreements or franchises of a like nature or franchises for other public or private
utilities in the Clark Springs area. This Agreement shall not prevent or prohibit the
City from using, relocating, repairing, maintaining, or improving any streets,
avenues, highways, alley or public places within the Clark Springs area.
2. SEWERAGE SYSTEMS OR FACILITIES NOT AUTHORIZED. The
District shall not construct or operate any sewerage systems or facilities within the
Clark Springs area.
3. TERM OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement commences on June 3, 2017
and extends for a period of fifteen (15) years, terminating on June 3, 2032, unless
it is terminated in accordance with Section 16.
4. MANAGEMENT, REGULATION AND CONTROL OF DISTRICT
FACILITIES. The District shall have the sole responsibility to maintain, manage,
operate, regulate and control the District Facilities installed within the Clark Springs
area together with any additions, extensions and betterments thereto.
5. PROTECTION OF PUBLIC.
5.1 Whenever an excavation or fill from the construction, maintenance or
repair of the District Facilities has caused or contributed to a condition that appears
to substantially impair the lateral support of the adjoining street or public place, or
endangers the City’s Clark Springs water supply source, or otherwise endangers the
public, an adjoining public place, street utilities or City property, the City’s Director
of Public Works (“Director”) may require the District, at its own expense and within
a prescribed time, to remedy the condition.
5.2 If the District fails or refuses to promptly and fully remedy the
condition, or if emergency conditions exist which require immediate action, the City
may enter upon the property and take such actions as are necessary to protect the
City's Clark Springs water supply source, the public, the adjacent streets or street
utilities, or to maintain the lateral support thereof, including placing of temporary
shoring, backfilling, alteration of drainage patterns and any other actions
reasonably necessary to decrease the possibility of injury to persons or public and
3
603894.3
private property, or any other actions regarded as necessary safety precautions,
and the District shall be liable to the City for the costs thereof.
6.PROTECTION OF CLARK SPRINGS WATER SUPPLY SOURCE. The
District Facilities authorized by this Agreement do not withdraw ground or surface
waters that contribute, directly or indirectly, to the Clark Springs Aquifer. The
District shall take reasonable measures to avoid any impact on the ground or
surface waters that contribute, directly or indirectly, to the Clark Springs Aquifer
during any repair, replacement or relocation of District Facilities. The District shall
not construct additional water facilities within or through the Clark Springs Aquifer
that withdraw ground or surface waters that contribute, directly or indirectly, to the
water supply within the Clark Springs Aquifer without first consulting the Director
and obtaining his or her prior approval. Upon the District’s submission of sufficient
documentation that the Clark Springs Aquifer water supply will not be adversely
affected, such approval by the Director will not be unreasonably withheld. A map
diagramming the surface boundaries of the Clark Springs Aquifer is attached as
Exhibit C.
7.RELOCATION OF DISTRICT FACILITIES.
7.1 The District shall protect, support, temporarily disconnect, relocate or
remove (subject to the provisions below) any of its water facilities covered by this
Agreement at its sole cost and expense, whenever the Director reasonably
determines that these actions are necessary for any of the following reasons:

(b) Street vacations, dedications or new rights-of-way and the establishment
and improvement thereof, freeway construction, change or establishment of street
grade; or
(c) The City’s construction of any public improvement or structure;
except that the District is authorized in all cases to temporarily bypass, in the
authorized portion of the same street upon approval by the City, any water main or
portion thereof required to be temporarily disconnected or removed.
7.2 The City acknowledges that the District Facilities are substantial and
cannot be relocated without the District suffering inordinate expense. The City will
make its best effort to design or redesign streets, avenues, alleys or public places
or ways, and other City utilities to minimize the impact on the District Facilities,
including the need to require the District Facilities to be relocated. PROVIDED
HOWEVER, that the City shall make the final determination on the need for
relocation of the District Facilities.
7.3 If the City determines that any of the above circumstances necessitate
the relocation of District Facilities, the City shall provide the District with at least
one hundred twenty (120) days’ written notice. The District shall complete the
4
603894.3
relocation at no cost to the City and within the time frame set by the City. If the
District fails to complete relocation of its facilities as so directed, the City may
remove the District Facilities at the District's expense. The parties agree to
coordinate their respective construction work and schedules in such event.
8. CONSTRUCTION AND EXCAVATION REQUIREMENTS.
8.1 Surface Structures. During any period of installation, relocation,
maintenance or repair of the District Facilities, all surface structures, if any, shall be
erected and used in such places and positions within the public rights-of-way and
other public properties so as not to contaminate, harm or otherwise injure the
City’s Clark Springs water supply source and to minimize interference with the free
passage of traffic and the free use of adjoining property. The District shall at all
times post and maintain proper barricades during such period of construction as
required by state law or City ordinance.
8.2 Excavation.
(a) The District shall apply to the City for a permit for any excavation
within any public right-of-way or other public property located within
the City for the purpose of installation, repair, maintenance or
relocation of the District Facilities at least three (3) working days in
advance of the excavation. Emergency repairs may be conducted
without such three (3) day notice; however, the District shall give as
much notice as is practical.
(b) During the progress of the work, the District shall not contaminate,
harm or otherwise injure the City’s Clark Springs water supply source,
nor shall the District unnecessarily obstruct the passage or proper use
of the right-of-way.
(c) If either the City or the District at any time plan to make excavations
in any area covered by this Agreement, the party planning such
excavation shall afford the other, an opportunity to share such
excavation, PROVIDED THAT:

causing the excavation to be made;
(2) The joint use shall be arranged and accomplished on terms and
conditions satisfactory to both parties; and
(3) The initiating party may deny a joint excavation request for safety
reasons.

monuments and markers of every nature relating to highways and all other
5
603894.3
surveys. The reference points shall be so located that they will not be disturbed
during the District's operations under this Agreement. The method of referencing
these monuments or other points to be referenced shall be approved by the
Director before placement. The replacement of all such monuments or markers
disturbed during construction shall be made as expeditiously as conditions permit
and as directed by the Director. The costs of monuments or other markers lost,
destroyed, or disturbed and the expense of replacement by approved monuments
shall be borne by the District.
8.4 Condition of Streets. After construction, maintenance or repair of the
District Facilities authorized by this Agreement, the District shall leave all streets,
avenues, highways or public places in as good and safe condition in all respects as
they were before commencement of such work by the District, its agents or
contractors. The Director shall have final approval of the condition of such streets
and public places after completion of construction.

be done and all of the information contained within this Section 9.1.
(a) The plans shall accurately depict the relative position and location of
all pipes, conduits, mains, and appurtenances to be constructed, laid,
relaid, installed, replaced, repaired, connected or disconnected, and
the existing right-of-way or property lines. All right-of-ways denoted
shall be designated by their names and number.

constructed under the supervision of the Director. Prior to approval of any work
under this Agreement, the Director may require such modifications or changes as
he or she deems necessary to properly protect the public in the use of the public
places, and may fix the time or times within and during which such work shall be
done.
9.4 Payment for Plan Review. The District shall pay to the City such
amounts as, in the judgment of the Director, are reasonably necessary to
investigate and process any plans for construction work, to inspect such work, to
secure proper field notes for location, to plat such locations on the permanent
records of the City Public Works Department, to supervise such work, or to inspect
or re-inspect as to maintenance, during the progress of or after the repair of, any of
the District Facilities constructed pursuant to this Agreement.
10. CITY CONSTRUCTION ADJACENT TO DISTRICT FACILITIES. The
laying, construction, maintenance and operation of the District Facilities shall not
preclude the City or its authorized agents and contractors from blasting, grading or
doing other necessary road or utility work contiguous to the District Facilities,
provided that the District shall have thirty (30) days’ notice of any blasting or
excavation in order that the District may protect its line of pipe and property. In the

SCOPE OF SERVICES
GRNRA South Stormwater Pump Station and Force Main
Engineering Design Services
Jacobs Engineering Group lnc.
February 2018
1. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
Studv Area lssues / Problems:
The Green River Natural Resource Area (GRNRA) within the City of Kent (City) is a 304-acre
stormwater treatment, flood control and wildlife habitat area located within the Kent Valley. The
prolect converted previous sewage treatment facilities to the current use in 1996, and includes a
35-acre lagoon, 2}-acre constructed wetland, and three smaller pre-settling ponds (5.6 acres
total). The GRNRA contains extensive plantings and provides trails, significant habitat, wildlife
diversity and multiple uses.
The GRNRA has experienced high flood and stormwater runoff rates and has had higher
operating levels than the design target elevations, resulting in a loss of active flood storage
capacity. Ongoing redevelopment and increased stormwater runoff in the drainage basins
upstream of the GRNRA have necessitated the need to control flooding and for additional
upstream stormwater diversion from the GRNRA.
The City has worked with Anchor QEA to perform preliminary engineering and an alternatives
analysis to develop solutions to the flooding issues. The City has selected a combination of
alternatives from the Anchor QEA report to proceed into the design and construction phases.
The first alternative features a proposed stormwater pumping station located NW of the
intersection of West James Street and 64th Avenue South. The stormwater pump station
facilities are anticipated to include a precast concrete wet well; two wet well-mounted pumps
(VFD controlled); a CMU pump enclosure; a flow meter, an open-sided shelter over electrical,
control system, and telemetry cabinets; and a standby generator set with a sound attenuated
enclosure. Also associated with the stormwater pump station facilities will be a precast concrete
diversion structure with a weir, 40 lineal feet of a 3-foot by S-foot precast concrete box culvert,
and approximately 100 linealfeet of 18-inch diameter pipe. The proposed 24-inch diameter
HDPE force main (approximately 2,600 lineal feet) will be routed west along West James Street,
south and west around the Kent lce Center, west along the southern portion of the City's Public
Works Operations Facility, and north along Russell Road to the connection to the existing 30-
inch diameter Green River outfall (which will likely need debris removal and minor repairs, to be
determined by the City).
February 2078 Page 1. of 72 Jacobs Engineedng Group Inc.
The second alternative features a high flow gravity bypass connection to the existing outfall to
the Green River. This proposed system will include a precast concrete vault with a weir, a new
manhole and catch basins, and approximately 330 linealfeet of 3O-inch diameter pipe.
Proiect Goals and Obiectives:
Provide a pump station and force main system capable of diverting up to 25 cubic feet per
second (CFS) of stormwater runoff from the drainage channel along.64'n Avenue South to outfall
to the nearby'Green River, adjacent to the intersection of South 240th Street and Russell Road
South. Provide a high flow gravity bypass to divert stormwater runoff from the drainage channel
located at the southeast corner of Hogan Park. These improvements are intended to help
reduce repeated flooding in the downtown Kent and nearby industrial areas.
The City has asked Jacobs Engineering Group lnc. (Jacobs i Consultant) to provide engineering
design services for the stormwater pump station, force main, high flow bypass and associated
flow diversion facilities and piping, as described for the alternatives above. Additionally, site
work will include grading, paved site access, lighting, a stormwater detention/treatment system
for new impervious area (including LID features as necessary), fencing, and landscaping. ln
addition to complete design services, Jacobs will provide bidding support during project
advertisement to answer questions on the designs, provide clarifications during bidding and
assist in the preparation of addenda. Construction phase services are not currently included
with this scope of services, but may be added by amendment. The services herein are the
subsequent phase of the work started with the lnitial Field Reconnaissance Services, as
described further below.
2. ASSUMPTIONS
ln order to expedite design work for this project, the City amended the scope of an existing
contract for the GRNRA Pump Station and Force Main Project Evaluation and Alternatives
Analysis, to perform lnitial Field Reconnaissance Services for the GRNRA South Stormwater
Pump Station and Force Main project described above. The amendment included preliminary
topographic survey research; performing wet and dry utility locates; and performing
geotechnical field exploration, laboratory testing for soils properties, and a draft geotechnical
report.
Engineering design services necessary to complete a bid package for the project will be
performed as part of this contract. Bidding phase services will also be provided through this
contract.
Completion of the design will rely on work performed by the City and others during the
alternatives analysis. Due to the short schedule duration, no time or budget will be expended
reviewing the adequacy of past analyses. lt is generally assumed that all provided pumping
rates and pipes sizes are adequate for the intended project purpose. This scope of work is
based on the following assumptions:
City will provide record drawings of existing City utilities in project vicinity for referencea
February 2018 Page 2 of 12 Jacobs Engineering Gtoup Inc.
. City will provide topographic survey services in general accordance with previous scope
of work for Phase 1, including field topographic survey, and preparation of project base
maps to be provided to Jacobs.r Jacobs will subcontract to pothole utilities to verify feasibility of design layout and
alignment and to provide measurements as needed for potential utility conflicts, as
determined to be necessary by the City and Consultant team. Field measurements by
the potholing company will be provided (survey of exposed utilities will not be
performed).. Design will proceed as a combination of the alternatives described above, and will not
include advancing other alternatives.r The City will determine the design pumping rate for the stormwater pump station.
Additional hydraulic modeling of incoming flow rates and weir gate levels will not be
included in this scope of services, and computations for confirming capacity of facilities
will not be provided by Consultant.r lt is assumed that a hydraulic transient (surge) analysis will not be required for this
project.r The weirs at the flow diversion structures will be manually adjusted, and not automated
or tied to the telemetry system.o Standard debris removal structures suitable for ditches in upstream system will be
included; specialized screening facilities are not part of this scope of services.o The existing concrete cylinder pipe outfall to the Green River has an adequate rating for
the pressures associated with the new stormwater pump station and force main system,
and is in suitable condition other than needing debris removal and minor repairs (City to
confirm this by TV inspection). The City will perform the debris removal and minor
repairs separately from this project / contract. The new force main will connect to an
existing manhole, and it will not be necessary to connect to or modify the existing 30-
inch diameter outfall pipe.. Basic utility building architectural design for the CMU pump enclosure, electrical
equipment enclosure, and generator set enclosure will be provided; specialized
architectural features will not be incorporated. Enclosures will have open sides, and will
not require insulation, fans, or other HVAC equipment.o Structural design of the wet well is not included (assumed to be precast concrete).. Design of temporary shoring and dewatering systems will be the Contractor's
responsibility.. Three-phase power is readily available adjacent to the site, and a transformer vault will
be installed near the new stormwater pump station facilities (City to confirm with Puget

SUBJECT: Rental Housing Inspection Program Ordinance – Adopt
SUMMARY: City staff, in partnership with consultants from Furturewise and Living
Well Kent, have completed outreach and policy development work on a program that
will provide proactive enforcement of basic health and safety standards in Kent’s
rental apartment housing.
The program described in the attached ordinance will require that every three years,
apartment owners have a sampling of their units inspected to ensure that basic
maintenance is being done and that units are not creating health problems or a
dangerous situation for the tenants. Required elements will be listed on an inspection
checklist provided by the City. Successful inspections must be completed prior to
issuance of an annual business license, which apartment owners are already required
to obtain.
The program has been developed based on input from tenants, inspectors, property
owners and program administrators in other cities. It is also consistent with
Washington’s Landlord Tenant Act which limits the scope of these types of programs.
EXHIBITS: Ordinance
RECOMMENDED BY: Economic and Community Development Committee
YEA: Boyce, Budell, Kaur NAY:
BUDGET IMPACT: None. The cost of the program will be off-set by increased annual
business license fees for apartment rental owners, initially anticipated to be $12 per
unit.

outreach. To date, no development has occurred in the MTC-1 zoning district that has
fallen under the sign code. Staff has identified the need to amend the sign regulations
to: 1) improve sign visibility; 2) recognize the significant motorized use of the SR-99
corridor; 3) ensure visual parity between signs in adjacent jurisdictions and those in
Kent; and 4) enhance the pedestrian environment consistent with the Midway Design
Guidelines.
BACKGROUND: The MTC-1 zoning district is the gateway into the Midway Subarea; it
is highway-oriented, fronting SR-99. Through the Midway Design Guidelines, the
pedestrian is nevertheless given priority through pedestrian level visual interest and
human-scale design. Existing sign regulations in the MTC-1 district limit sign types to
freestanding monument signs or suspended signs such as blade or hanging signs; sign
sizes are limited to a maximum size of 80 square feet, and 40 square feet per face.
Appropriate sign visibility is important for motorist safety, effective wayfinding, and
the economic interests of businesses. Variety and creativity in sign design and type
can enhance visual interest for pedestrians and motorists. Additionally, sign
regulations for the City of Des Moines, adjacent to the MTC-1 zoning district and
characterized by SR-99 frontage, allow for freestanding signs other than monument
signs up to 20 feet in height and 100 square feet.
Staff recommends allowing director approval of freestanding signs other than
monument signs and increasing the maximum allowed size of freestanding monument
signs in the MTC-1 zoning district.

ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE of the City Council of the
City of Kent, Washington, amending section
15.06.050 of the Kent City Code, entitled
“Regulations for Specific Districts,” to revise sign
code regulations in the Midway Transit Community-
1 zoning district.
RECITALS
A. On December 13, 2011, the City Council adopted the Midway
Subarea Plan, which conveys a range of actions that prepares the area for
future high capacity light rail transit. The overall goal for the plan includes
a dense, pedestrian-friendly, sustainable community around high capacity
transit nodes. Policy MLU-1.3 in the plan recognizes the need for flexibility
in land uses and density as the market transitions from auto-oriented
development form to a dense pedestrian-friendly development form. Policy
MUD-3.7 recognizes a difference in sign regulations for development
adjacent to SR-99 while maintaining the overall urban character of the
designated transit-oriented community.
B. The City Council also adopted the Midway Design Guidelines
and sign regulations on December 13, 2011, as implementation measures
for the Midway Subarea Plan. The plan, guidelines, and sign regulations
were the result of multiple years of public outreach to businesses,
residents, and other stakeholders in the Midway subarea.

Re: Sign Regulations in MTC-1
C. The Midway Design Guidelines call for creative and individual
expression in the design and placement of signs; they encourage creative,
sculptural, and neon signs in the Midway subarea. The guidelines also state
that signs should be designed to add pedestrian interest.
D. The Midway Design Guidelines recognize the distinct
environment of the area along SR-99/Pacific Highway; it is characterized
as highway-oriented, but the pedestrian is nevertheless given priority
through visual interest and human dimension at the street level.
E. In the Midway Transit Community-1 (“MTC-1”) zoning district,
within the Midway subarea, the following signs are currently allowed as
identification signs for single business occupancies: freestanding
monument signs up to 15 feet tall and 80 square feet with no sign face
larger than 40 square feet; suspended signs including hanging signs, and
blade signs up to 20 feet tall and 80 square feet with no sign face larger
than 40 square feet; and wall signs up to 10 percent of the first floor
façade, or 24 square feet, whichever is greater, and up to 35 feet tall.
F. To date, no new monument signs have been installed on SR-
99 under the MTC-1 sign regulations in Ch. 15.06 KCC, adopted by Kent
City Council in 2011. In anticipation of forthcoming development to which
these regulations would apply, staff reviewed the sign regulations to
evaluate their consistency with the Midway Design Guidelines, other sign
regulations in Kent, and neighboring jurisdictions. The intent was to ensure
that the regulations are fair, appropriate, and not unnecessarily
burdensome while still achieving the intent of the subarea plan and design
guidelines.
G. Although not envisioned as a traditional downtown, the
Midway area is, like Kent’s downtown, envisioned as a center of pedestrian
scale activity with a dense mix of land uses. Sign regulations for the
3 Amend KCC 15.06 -
Re: Sign Regulations in MTC-1
Downtown Commercial Enterprise (“DCE”) zoning district, within downtown
Kent, allow for freestanding signs other than monument signs up to 15
feet in height and 100 square feet in area for all faces. In contrast to the
Midway area, however, a highway does not bisect the DCE zoning district
as SR-99 does the MTC-1 zoning district. This distinct auto-oriented
context suggests a need for moderately larger signs along the highway
frontage in the MTC-1 district than in the DCE district.
H. Sign regulations for the City of Des Moines, which is across
from and adjacent to Kent’s MTC-1 zoning district, and similarly
characterized by SR-99 frontage, allow for freestanding signs other than
monument signs, up to 20 feet in height and 100 square feet in area for all
faces.
I. Best practices for sign visibility and motorist reaction time in
a 45 mile per hour zone similar to the SR-99 corridor recommend sign
sizes of 60 or more square feet per sign face. Appropriate sign visibility is
important for motorist safety, effective wayfinding, and the economic
interests of businesses. It is in the public interest to increase the allowed
height and sign face area for freestanding signs to improve visibility,
ensure visual parity between signs in adjacent jurisdictions and those in
Kent, and recognize the significant motorized use of the SR-99 corridor.
J. Variety in sign design and type can enhance visual interest for
pedestrians and motorists; it is in the public interest and consistent with
the intent of the Midway Subarea Plan and Design Guidelines to allow
multiple types of signs when they demonstrate creativity and integrity in
design and pedestrian-scale interest.
K. High sign density can contribute to information overload for
motorists, inhibiting visual recognition, decision-making, and response.
Sufficient sign spacing is necessary to ensure that motorists are not
overloaded. The aggregate allowed sign area for any lot in the MTC-1
4 Amend KCC 15.06 -
Re: Sign Regulations in MTC-1
zoning district is one square foot per linear foot of street frontage; a
maximum single sign size of 150 square feet for lots with at least 200 feet
of frontage is consistent with this ratio, allowing for at least 50 square feet
of additional signage elsewhere on the lot.
L. On February 12, 2018, planning staff presented the Land Use
and Planning Board (“LUPB”) with an overview of the need for revised sign
code regulations in the MTC-1 zoning district and the proposed revised
code language.
M. On January 17, 2018, the City requested expedited review
under RCW 36.70A.106 from the Washington State Department of
Commerce regarding the City’s proposed code amendments related to
signage in the MTC-1 zoning district. The Washington State Department of
Commerce granted the request for expedited review on February 6, 2018.
No comments were received from State agencies.
N. On February 5, 2018, the City conducted and completed
environmental review under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA).
The City’s SEPA Responsible Official issued a Determination of Non-
Significance for the code amendments.
O. At its regularly-scheduled public meeting on February 26,
2018, the LUPB held a public hearing regarding the proposed code
amendments related to sign regulations in the MTC-1 zoning district. After
considering the matter, the LUPB voted to recommend adoption of the
proposed amendments to the City Council.
P. On March 12, 2018, the Economic and Community
Development Committee considered the recommendations of the LUPB at
its regularly-scheduled meeting, and recommended to the full City Council
adoption of the proposed code amendments.

a General description of the site (circle one): Flat, rolling, hilly, steep
slopes, mountainous, othe
b. What is the steepest slope on the site (approximate percent slope)?
According to the City of Kent GIS slope data (2015), nearly all of the area
currentlywithin the MTC-1 zoning district is 0-15% sloped;there are narrow
bands throughout the area with slopes greater than 40%. A segment in the
northwest corner, comprised of undeveloped parcels characterized by
wetlands, has a greater concentration of slopes ranging from 15-75%.
c. What general types of soils are found on the site (for example, clay,
sand, gravel, peat, muck)? lf you knowthe classification of agricultural
soils, specify them and note any prime farmland.
According to the City of Kent GIS soils data (2015) and the definitions
provided in the 1973 United States Department of Agriculture Soil Survey for
the King CountyArea (1973 Soils Survey), areas currentlywithin the MTC-1
zoning district are primarily one of two soil types:
1) Arents/alderwood material with 6-15% slope. Runoff is medium, and
the erosion hazard is moderate to severe. This soil is compatible with
urban development.
2) Alderwood gravelly sandy loam with 6-15% slope. Permeability is
relatively high in the surface layers and very slow in the lower layers.
Runoff is slow to medium, and erosion hazard is moderate. This soil is
compatible with timber, agriculture, or urban development.

MIDWAY TRANSIT COMMUNITY – 1 (MTC-1) SIGN CODE AMENDMENT
ENV-2018-3, KIVA #RPSA-2180307
ZCA-2018-1, KIVA #RPP6-2180304
Charlene Anderson, AICP Responsible Official
I. PROPOSAL
The City of Kent has initiated a non-project environmental review for a
proposal to a) amend the City of Kent Municipal Code Section 15.06 pertaining
to the Midway Transit Community-1 (MTC-1) zoning district. It increases the
maximum allowed height of freestanding monument signs (currently the only
type of freestanding sign allowed) from 15 feet to 20 feet, and increases the
maximum allowed area of freestanding monument signs from 80 square feet
with a maximum face size of 40 square feet to 100 square feet with a
maximum face size of 50 square feet.
The proposal provides for the director to grant exceptions to the type and size
of freestanding signs, allowing freestanding signs other than monument signs
up to a maximum area of 150 square feet with a maximum single cabinet face
size of 40 square feet and a maximum height of 20 feet. In order for the
director to grant such an exception, the applicant must meet all of a series of
conditions that ensure consistency with the pedestrian-scale character
envisioned in the Midway Subarea Plan and Midway Design Guidelines. The
conditions also require that the location and design of the sign provide
sufficient spacing and do not negatively impact adjacent uses.
II.BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Areas currently within the Midway Transit Community-1 zoning district are
located at the northwest and south corners of the Midway subarea. These
areas are at Kent’s westernmost limits and are bounded to the west by the
City of Des Moines and to the south by Federal Way. The area currently within
the Midway Transit Community – 1 zoning district constitutes approximately 70
acres.
Areas currently within the MTC-1 zoning district are characterized by frontage
on SR-99, a 45 mile-per-hour state highway. Highway frontage for parcels in
this zoning district ranges from 100 feet to more than 350 feet. Most parcels
currently within the MTC-1 zoning district are commercially developed; ten
parcels out of a total of 67 remain undeveloped.
Decision Document
MTC-1 Sign Code Amendments (ZCA-2018-1)
ENV-2018-03 / RPSA-2180304
Page 2 of 5
Compliance with Kent's Comprehensive Plan (Ordinance 4163), the
Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA), The Local Project Review
Act (ESHB 1724 and ESB 6094), Kent's Construction Standards (Ordinance
3944) and Concurrency Management (Chapter 12.11, Kent City Code) will
require concurrent improvements or the execution of binding agreements by
the Applicant/Owner with Kent to mitigate identified environmental impacts.
These improvements and/or agreements may include improvements to
roadways, intersections and intersection traffic signals, stormwater detention,
treatment and conveyance, utilities, sanitary sewerage and domestic water
systems. Compliance with Kent's Construction Standards may require the
deeding/dedication of right-of-way for identified improvements. Compliance
with Title 11.03 and 11.06 of the Kent City Code may require the conveyance
of Sensitive Area Tracts to the City of Kent in order to preserve trees, regulate
the location and density of development based upon known physical
constraints such as steep and/or unstable slopes or proximity to lakes, or to
maintain or enhance water quality. Compliance with the provisions of Chapter
6.12 of the Kent City Code may require provisions for mass transit adjacent to
the site.
In addition to the above, Kent follows revisions to the Washington State
Environmental Policy Act, Chapter 197-11 WAC (effective July 3, 2016), which
implements ESHB 1724 and ESB 6094, and rules which took effect on May 10,
2014 in response to 2ESSB 6406 passed by the State Legislature in 2012.
III. ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS
A. Earth
According to the City of Kent GIS slope data (2015), slopes within areas
currently within the MTC-1 zoning district are primarily 0-15%, with
narrow bands of steeper slopes. City of Kent GIS soils data (2015) and
definitions in the 1973 United States Department of Agriculture Soil
Survey for the King County Area indicate that soils are primarily
arents/alderwood material or alderwood gravelly sandy loam. Both soil
types are compatible with urban development, although erosion risk is
moderate to high. Landscaping required by the Midway Design
Guidelines will help to mitigate localized erosion where signs are
installed.
B. Air
The proposal is a non-project action. No impacts to air are anticipated
from this proposal.
C. Water
According to the City of Kent GIS wetlands inventory data, the McSorely
Creek wetland covers a narrow portion of the southern segment of the
current MTC-1 zoning district; Massey Creek wetlands are present in the
northernmost segment.
Decision Document
MTC-1 Sign Code Amendments (ZCA-2018-1)
ENV-2018-03 / RPSA-2180304
Page 3 of 5
If individual development proposals impact wetlands or streams,
mitigation will be required in accordance with the City’s Critical Areas
regulations contained in Kent City Code Section 11.06.
Construction activities are regulated by the adopted codes of the City of
Kent. Impacts to associated waterways and wetland areas will be
analyzed and mitigated at the time of development permit review.
D. Plants and Animals
The code amendments are non-project actions. No threatened or
endangered species are known to be present, according to the
Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Priority Habitat and Species
database.
E. Energy and Natural Resources
This proposal is not anticipated to have a significant adverse effect on
energy and natural resources. Some signs permitted under the proposed
amendments may be lighted and could require electricity.
F. Environmental Health
According to the Department of Ecology Tacoma Smelter Plume online
interactive map, the areas currently within the MTC-1 zoning district are
within the Tacoma Smelter Plume and have been shown to have 40.1 to
100 parts per million for arsenic. Caution must be exercised when
excavating to install signs permitted under the proposed code
amendments. The Department of Ecology Tacoma Smelter Plume Model
Remedies Guidance should be followed.
G. Aesthetics, Noise, Light and Glare
Construction of new signs permitted under the proposed amendments
could result in construction noise. Signs may be lighted and contribute
to light pollution in the SR-99 corridor. Regulations are in place to
reduce the safety and visibility impacts of signs.
The proposal includes provisions to allow freestanding signs up to 20
feet tall. New signs permitted under the code amendments are unlikely
to impact aesthetic views, as the area is an intensively developed
highway corridor.
H. Land and Shoreline Use
The current uses in the MTC-1 zoning district are auto-oriented
commercial uses, including drive-through restaurants, automobile sales
and service, public storage facilities, and gas stations. Many structures
are present within the MTC-1 zoning district, primarily wood-frame or
cinder block buildings.
I. Housing
Adoption of the code amendments is not anticipated to have a
significant adverse effect on housing.
Decision Document
MTC-1 Sign Code Amendments (ZCA-2018-1)
ENV-2018-03 / RPSA-2180304
Page 4 of 5
J. Recreation
While there are many parks and recreation facilities in the City of Kent,
significant adverse impacts to recreation are not anticipated from these
code amendments.
K. Historic and Cultural Preservation
According to the State of Washington Information System for
Architectural and Archaeological Records Data (WISAARD) database,
potential landmarks and historic or cultural resources are primarily of-
age structures which are auto-oriented service uses, including auto body
and maintenance shops. The Midway Drive-In Theater was located in
this area, but has since been demolished.
Although this is a nonproject action, if archeological materials are
discovered during work for any project action, the applicant must stop
work and notify the State Department of Archaeology and Historical
Preservation.
L. Transportation
The MTC-1 zoning district is characterized by the presence of SR-99,
running north-south. Other east-west streets intersect the highway
throughout the MTC-1 zoning district, including SR-516/Kent Des Moines
Road. A light rail route extension and new rail stations will be in the
immediate vicinity of the area currently within the MTC-1 zoning district.
A station will be located to the east of the northern segment; a second
station will be located to the east of the southern segment.
There are no current proposals under the proposed regulations. Any
additional trips per day generated would be attributed to new uses and
occupancies rather than the signs identifying those uses.
M. Public Services
The proposed code amendment is a non-project action and is unlikely to
impact public services.
N. Utilities
The MTC-1 zoning district is served by typical urban utilities. New signs
permitted under the proposed regulations may require electricity if
lighted. The service provider will be determined, as needed, when
development proposals are submitted.
IV. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION
A. It is appropriate per WAC 197-11-660 and RCW 43.21C.060 that the
City of Kent establish conditions to mitigate any identified impacts
associated with this proposal. Supporting documents for the following
conditions and mitigating measures include:

SUBJECT: Goods and Services Agreement with L.N. Curtis and Sons for Police
Uniforms – Authorize
SUMMARY: In 2017, the Kent Police Department began using L.N. Curtis and Sons,
located in the City of Kent, as a vendor for uniforms, uniform accessories, uniform
tailoring, and uniform alterations for department employees and volunteers. After
researching other uniform vendors, L.N. Curtis was found to offer competitive pricing
and determined to be very efficient at providing uniform needs for the department.
Since this vendor is also located in Kent, it is convenient for officers to visit for
purchasing and fitting.
In June 2017, former Mayor Cooke authorized staff to negotiate directly with L.N.
Curtis and Sons, without the need to conduct a competitive process because of the
competitive pricing offered and the location of the company. A copy of that waiver is
attached.
Uniform expenses, based on past needs, are not currently expected to exceed
$100,000 annually. If approved, this Agreement allows for a number of annual
renewal options, up to a maximum contract length through December 31, 2023.

Request for Adveftised Bid Waiver Pursuant to KCC 3.70.080 for Police Uniforms
The City's Police Department is requesting a waiver for the advertised bid requirement set forth
in KCC 3.70.080 for the purchase of uniforms for Kent Police Department personnel from L.N.
Curtis and Sons. The police department anticipates that its annual uniform needs should not
exceed $100,000, An exact contract amount is difficult to determine because uniform needs
depend upon staff rotation, and uniforms are replaced on an interval and rotating basis, or
when damaged beyond reasonable repair. Many of these events cannot be anticipated.
As you are aware, the advertised bid requirement for purchases over g65,000 may be waived
by the Mayor upon finding that the bidding requirements of KCC 3,70.030 are not practicable or
in the City's best interest under the circumstances. Should such a finding be made by the
Mayor, the materials, supplies, equipment, or services to be purchased may be acquired by the
city through direct negotiation with an identified vendor or contractor.
After conducting research and analysis of several uniform vendors, the Kent Police Department
is requesting approval for a waiver with a new uniform vendor, L.N. Curtis and Sons which is a
law enforcement uniform business located within Kent city limits. In addition to the local salestax generated by purchasing uniforms from this local vendor, the proximity and location is
highly desirable, Being located in Kent provides ease and access for officers to visit the uniform
store for the purchase of uniform items, to be fitted, and pick up the items when ready.
In addition, L.N. Curtis and Sons is offering extremely competitive pricing, The City has
contracted with Blumenthal's for police department's uniform needs since at least 1999. The
prices set by L.N. Curtis and Sons are very competitive with Blumenthals pricing and costs. We
anticipate most items being less expensive than Blumenthals,
Although this memo seeks the Mayor's waiver of any advertised bid requirement of KCC
3.70.030, staft will take any contract that results from its direct negotiations with L.N. Curtis
and Sons to the Public Safety Committee and the full City Council for approval before it is
presented for signature.

SUBJECT: Council Administrative Assistant Full-Time Employee Increase -
Authorize
SUMMARY: Prior to 2008, the Council Administrative Assistant/Receptionist position
was full-time. Since that time, it has been reduced to part-time and is currently at
0.75 full-time employee (32 hours). With reduced hours, it has been difficult to fill and
retain the position with a quality long-term employee. As a result we would like to
increase the position from a 0.75 to 1.00 full-time employee and split the hours
between council and administration. We feel the level of service to council has been
and will continue to be possible with 20 hours.
For budget purposes, the Mayor’s office does not plan to fill the vacant
communications specialist position in 2018 and will recommend reductions to the
mayor’s office budget this fall and a restructuring in future years that will more than
offset this 0.25 FTE increase.

DATE: March 20, 2018
SUBJECT: Ordinance Amending the Kent City Code to Create an Alternate Position
on the Arts Commission - Adopt
SUMMARY: In an effort to maintain continuity within the Arts Commission when
vacancies and transitions occur, the Mayor and staff are introducing a new
Commission position – an ‘alternate’- to be appointed and confirmed by the Mayor and
City Council. This ‘alternate’ position will serve in a non-voting capacity, except when
a regular member is absent from a meeting, at which point the alternate will then
serve as a pro tempore member and will have the ability to vote on all matters coming
before the Commission at that meeting.
If a regular position of the Arts Commission becomes available, the alternate may
assume that position without any further confirmation of Council, and then a
solicitation for a new alternate may begin. However, the alternate’s appointment will
be permissive and not mandatory.
This ordinance was prepared at the request of Mayor Dana Ralph, who has a candidate
she would like to appoint as an alternate to the Arts Commission. However, this
enabling ordinance is required before that appointment can officially be made. In an
effort to avoid losing this candidate, this ordinance is on a faster track than normal,
and it is set for presentation before the Parks Committee at its March 15, 2018,
meeting. If the Parks Committee recommends adoption, the ordinance will proceed
before Council at this March 20th meeting. If the Parks Committee does not take action
or otherwise recommend adoption, the ordinance will be pulled from the March 20th
meeting.

Re: Arts Commission and Alternate Position
ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE of the City Council of the
City of Kent, Washington, amending the Kent City
Code to: (1) move the code provisions concerning
the Arts Commission from Chapter 4.02 to a new
Chapter 2.61, and (2) create an alternate position
on the Commission that would allow the alternate
to act in the place of an absent member and to
assume a vacant position should one become
available during the alternate’s term.
RECITALS
A. The Kent Arts Commission was created in 1975, and its
primary purpose is to initiate, sponsor, or conduct programs calculated to
further public awareness of and interest in the visual and performance
arts. The Arts Commission’s duties include establishing cultural
opportunities and arts education within Kent, improving Kent’s quality of
life and enhancing its aesthetic environment, and promoting Kent as a
center for great arts.
B. Although the Arts Commission is required to hold regular
meetings, at times it has been difficult to obtain the quorum necessary to
transact business due to the absence of its members at those meetings.
This ordinance will create a new position on the Commission that will allow
a person to be appointed as an alternate.
2 Amend Chapter 4.02 KCC -
Re: Arts Commission and Alternate Position
C. It is intended that when all members of the Commission are
present, the alternate will serve in a nonvoting capacity. If, however, a
member is absent from any meeting of the Arts Commission, the alternate
will serve as a pro tempore voting member for that meeting and may vote
on all matters before the Commission. The alternate may also assume any
position that is vacated by an incumbent member or otherwise becomes
available during the alternate’s tenure without the necessity of further
Council confirmation. A search for a new alternate would then be
undertaken.
D. Currently, the Arts Commission is limited to 14 members.
Because the Arts Commission obtains only those powers granted to it by
Council, an ordinance is required to amend the Kent City Code to allow for
the appointment of an alternate, and to allow that alternate to act as a pro
tempore when a voting member is absent.
E. In addition to making the changes needed to create an
alternate position, this ordinance also moves the code provisions
concerning the Arts Commission from Chapter 4.02 of the Kent City Code
to a new Chapter 2.61. The code provisions concerning the Arts
Commission have been codified for some time in Chapter 4.02, but all
other ordinances concerning Council created boards and commissions are
organized under Title 2, and it is appropriate to move these provisions
there as well.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENT,
WASHINGTON, DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
ORDINANCE
SECTION 1. – Repealer - Ch. 4.02 KCC. Chapter 4.02 of the Kent

commission. When a regular member of the arts commission is absent

SUBJECT: Resolution in Support of the Puget Sound Regional Fire Authority
Proposition No. 1 - Property Tax Levy for Fire Protection and Emergency
Medical Services - Adopt
SUMMARY: The Puget Sound Regional Fire Authority (“PSRFA”) adopted Resolution
132 on January 17, 2018. Resolution 132 calls for a special election, to be held on
April 24, 2018, which will ask the voters to restore the PSRFA’s property tax levy to
$1.00 per $1,000 of assessed value. The ballot measure is referred to as Proposition
1.
The law limits the ability of the PSRFA to increase its property tax rate by 1% per
year. As a result of this 1% limitation, the tax rate imposed by the PSRFA has not kept
up with the rate of inflation, and the PSRFA has determined that its effective property
tax rate across the area served by the PSRFA has dropped to $0.77 per $1,000 of
assessed value.
The PSRFA Governing Board has determined that restoring its regular property tax
levy to a rate of $1.00 per $1,000 of assessed value will allow it to maintain and
improve fire protection and emergency medical services; maintain staffing; replace
apparatus, equipment, and facilities; and provide for firefighter safety.
This matter is set for the council to consider supporting Proposition 1. Councilmembers
and members of the public will be provided with approximately equal opportunity for
the expression of an opposing view.
