SUBJECT: City of Kent Investment Policy – Ordinance – Adopt
SUMMARY: This Ordinance will repeal the current language in Kent City Code (KCC)
3.02 “investment policy” and replace it with the new language in this Ordinance. The
Washington State Investment Board (WSIB) has made available new types of
investment opportunities in which governments can invest funds. This Ordinance
provides for those new opportunities and gives guidance to the City, and current
and/or potential new investment advisors, on allowable investments.
The overall investment strategies/objectives for the City are:
1. Safety of the principal amount invested;
2. Liquidity to allow the City to meet payment obligations; and
3. Yield or investment returns of the City’s portfolio.
These three guiding principles will continue to determine the size and make-up of the
City’s investment portfolio.
The new investment policy language has been unanimously approved and certified by
the Washington Public Treasurers Association (WPTA).

Re: Investment Policy
8. Any new fund created by the city council, unless specifically
exempted
B. Objectives. The primary objectives, in priority order, of the city's
investment activities shall be safety, liquidity, and return on investment.
1. Safety. Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the
city’s investment policy. city investments shall be made in a manner that
seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. To
mitigate credit and interest rate risk, investment decisions shall be
undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in
the overall portfolio.
a. Credit risk. This is the risk of loss due to the financial
failure of the security issuer or backer. The city will minimize credit risk
by:
(1) Limiting exposure to poor credits and
concentrating the investments in the safest types of securities.
(2) Diversifying the investment portfolio so that
potential losses on individual securities will be minimized; and
(3) Actively monitoring the investment portfolio
holdings for rating changes, changing economic market conditions, etc.
(4) Credit rating downgrade. If the credit rating of a
security is subsequently downgraded below the minimum rating level for a
new investment of that security, the Finance Director shall evaluate the
downgrade on a case-by-case basis in order to determine if the security
should be held or sold. The Finance Director will apply the general
objectives of safety, liquidity, and return to make the decision.
b. Interest rate risk. This is the risk that the market value
of securities in the portfolio will fall due to increases in general interest
rates. The city will mitigate the interest rate risk by:
9 Amend Chapter 3.02 KCC -
Re: Investment Policy
(1) Structuring the investment portfolio so that
securities mature to meet cash requirements, when known, for ongoing
operations, thereby avoiding the need to sell securities on the open
market prior to maturity;
(2) Investing liquidity funds primarily in short-term
instruments (i.e., investments maturing in less than one year); and
(3) Investing excess liquidity funds in a manner that
is consistent with the established risk/return objectives of this policy
within the stated maximum weighted average maturity constraint.
2. Liquidity. The city's investment portfolio will remain
sufficiently liquid to enable the city to meet all reasonably anticipated
operating requirements. This will be accomplished by either maintaining a
portion of the portfolio in investment vehicles offering daily liquidity at
face value, such as the Washington State Local Government Investment
Pool (LGIP) or structuring the portfolio so that securities mature
concurrently with cash needs to meet anticipated demands. Because all
possible cash demands cannot be anticipated, the portfolio should consist
largely of securities with active secondary or resale markets.
3. Return on investment. The city's investment portfolio shall
be designed with the objective of attaining a market rate of return
throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the city’s
investment risk constraints, the cash flow characteristics of the portfolio,
and earnings relative to the State of Washington LGIP. Return on
investment is of lesser importance compared to the safety and liquidity
objectives described above.
Sec. 3.02.040. Standards of care and ethics.
A. Prudence. The standard of care to be used by investment officials
shall be the "Prudent Person" standard and shall be applied in the context
of managing an overall portfolio under prevailing economic conditions at
10 Amend Chapter 3.02 KCC -
Re: Investment Policy
the moment of investment commitments. Investment officers acting in
accordance with written procedures and exercising due diligence shall be
relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security's credit risk or
market price changes, provided deviations from expectations are timely
reported and appropriate action is taken to control adverse
developments.
The “Prudent Person” standard requires that investments be made with
judgment and care, under circumstances then prevailing, that a person of
prudence, discretion and intelligence would exercise in the management of
his or her own affairs, not for speculation, but for investment, considering
the probable safety of capital as well as the probable income to be
derived.
B. Ethics and conflict of interest. Investment officials will recognize
that the investment portfolio is subject to public review and evaluation.
The overall program will be designed and managed with a degree of
professionalism that is worthy of the public trust.
Officers and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain
from knowingly engaging in personal business activity that could conflict
with proper execution of the investment program, or that could impair
their ability to make impartial investment decisions. Employees and
investment officials responsible for investment transactions shall disclose
to the Mayor any material financial interests in financial institutions that
conduct business within this jurisdiction. They shall further disclose any
large personal financial/investment positions that could be related to the
performance of the city's portfolio. Employees and officers shall
subordinate their personal investment transactions to those of the city,
particularly with regard to the time of purchases and sales.
Sec. 3.02.050. Delegation of authority and responsibilities.
11 Amend Chapter 3.02 KCC -
Re: Investment Policy
A. Governing body. The city council as the governing body will retain
ultimate fiduciary responsibility for the portfolio. The city council will
receive quarterly reports, designate an investment officer, and review and
adopt any changes to the investment policy.
B. Investment Officer. The Finance Director (or his/her designee) is
the Investment Officer of the city. No person may initiate investment
transactions on behalf of the Investment Officer without the express
written consent of the Investment Officer.
The Finance Director shall be responsible for oversight of the investment
program and shall help establish the investment strategies applicable to all
investments of funds held by or belonging to the city, its agencies and
departments.
C. Investment advisor. The city may engage the services of an
external investment advisor to assist in the management of the city’s
investment portfolio in a manner consistent with the city’s objectives.
Such external advisors may be granted non-discretionary authority to
purchase and sell investment securities in accordance with this Investment
Policy. Such advisors must be registered under the Investment Advisers
Act of 1940.
Sec. 3.02.060. Authorized investments, diversification,
maturities and collateralization.
A. Authorized investments. The city is authorized by this chapter and
empowered by statute (including, without limitation, RCW 39.59.020,
39.59.030, 43.84.080, and 43.250.040, including all future amendments)

benchmarks shall be reflective of the actual securities being purchased
and a comparison to the LGIP earnings rate should be completed on a
regular basis.

SUBJECT: Water District #111 Franchise Ordinance – Introduce
SUMMARY: Over the past year, the City and King County Water District #111 have
been negotiating this franchise agreement, which is the first ever between the city and
an outside utility. The reasons for this franchise are complex, but recent case law
developments in Washington State have created new issues relating to the city’s
ability to impose a utility tax on the District’s operations within city boundaries. Until
these recent developments, it was generally understood that cities could not impose a
utility tax on special purpose districts. In lieu of imposing a utility tax, the city and
the District have agreed to this franchise arrangement.
This franchise runs for ten years, with the opportunity for one five year extension, if
the parties mutually agree to the extension. The franchise fee is six percent of the
District’s gross revenues. “Gross revenues” is, however, defined and limited in the
franchise to be essentially the same revenue sources the city imposes on its own
water, sewer, and storm utilities. In exchange for this franchise fee payment, the city
further agrees not to impose any utility tax during the franchise term.
The franchise addresses and resolves a number of lesser issues regarding, for
example, street widening and relocation or abandonment of system pipes and other
facilities, but the core reason for this franchise is the payment of the franchise fee in
exchange for the city’s promise not to impose a utility tax.
EXHIBITS: Franchise Ordinance
RECOMMENDED BY: Operations Committee
YEA: Boyce, Thomas, Ralph NAY:
BUDGET IMPACTS: Undetermined, because this is a first-time arrangement, but the
Finance Department has provided a very rough estimate of $200K in additional annual
general fund revenue.
MOTION: Introduce an ordinance establishing a 10-year franchise with
King County Water District # 111.

(90) days for a smaller project and two hundred forty (240) days for a
larger project to accommodate the City project, unless the Parties agree
on a different time; in any event, the City and the District will, in good
faith, use their best efforts to coordinate their project schedules to avoid
delay to the City’s project. A smaller project could be adjusting, at

location, relocation of a valve box, relocation or extension of a fire
hydrant, or relocation of an air vac assembly or blow off. Notwithstanding
the above, the District may, at any time within thirty (30) calendar days
after receipt of written notice requesting the relocation of its Facilities,
submit to the City written alternatives to such relocations. The City shall
within a reasonable time evaluate such alternatives and advise the District

accommodate work that would otherwise necessitate relocation of the
Facilities. If so requested by the City, District shall submit such additional
information as is necessary to assist the City in making such evaluation.

event the City reasonably determines there is no other reasonable or
feasible alternative, the City shall provide the District with further written

conceptual plans and specifications for the City project and the District
shall then relocate its Facilities by the date so established.

to the removal of the Facility. The City will make reasonable efforts to
avoid conflicts with abandoned Facilities whenever possible, however,
whenever a conflict cannot be resolved except by removal from the right-
of-way of previously abandoned District Facilities, then the District shall, at
the District's expense, remove such abandoned Facilities by their own
forces or by participating in the City’s public works project. When
necessary, removal of abandoned Facilities shall be limited to the area of
direct conflict. In removing such material, the District shall conform to all

SUBJECT: Ordinance Amending Chapter 9.38 of the Kent City Code “Parking” –
Adopt
SUMMARY: This ordinance amends various sections within Chapter 9.38 of the Kent
City Code to address parking within the City of Kent, particularly those parking lots
and garages that serve City buildings and parks, including those located near the City
Hall campus. The ordinance also grants general authority to the Mayor to designate,
assign, and authorize parking within these locations, including the authority to issue
permits and passes that exempt holders from some parking limitations, including time
limits.
If this ordinance is adopted, the Mayor intends to implement a policy in substantially
the same form as the enclosed draft, which expressly grants and delegates to the
Parks Facilities Superintendent the authority to assign and designate parking within
City parking lots and garages. Among other things, this policy reserves the City Hall
parking lot and portions of the first floor of the Centennial Center parking garage,
during the hours of 9 a.m. – 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, for use by those visiting
the City Hall campus to conduct City business or take part in City activities. The policy
also gives the Facilities Superintendent flexibility to designate, assign, and restrict
parking as necessary, and to create a system of permits to assist in regulating
parking.
The ordinance and policy have become necessary due to the increased difficulty of
finding parking in and around the City Hall campus during regular business hours.
Due to growth in the downtown area, a number of parking spots within the City
Hall lot and the Centennial Parking garage are being used by visitors to downtown
businesses. This non-City business use makes finding parking difficult in the
immediate area for those who are conducting business at the City, as well as City
employees.

and revise a number of parking provisions concerning the City’s municipal
parking facilities. This ordinance also grants general authority to the
Mayor or the Mayor’s designee to designate, assign, restrict, and authorize
parking within all municipal parking facilities, including the authority to

PERSONNEL POLICY
NUMBER 7.22 EFFECTIVE DATE: ___________________
SUBJECT: PARKING AND PARKING PERMITS SUPERSEDES: New
APPROVED: __________________________
Suzette Cooke, Mayor
POLICY:
Through the Kent City Code, Council has authorized the Mayor to designate, assign,
restrict, and authorize parking within all municipal parking facilities. Through this policy,
the Mayor delegates authority to the Facilities Superintendent, which delegation includes
authority to issue and administer parking permits that exempt the permit holder from
certain parking limitations. This policy explains staff responsibilities concerning parking
within the City, particularly around the City Hall campus, and establishes guidelines to
assist the Facilities Superintendent in administering parking permits. City employees
violating this policy may be subject to discipline, and any vehicle parked in violation of the
Kent City Code or this policy may be towed at the registered owner’s expense.
7.22.1 DEFINITIONS
Facilities Superintendent: The term “Facilities Superintendent” refers to the employee
appointed to the position of Facilities Superintendent by the
Director of the City’s Parks, Recreation, and Human Services
Department, or the Superintendent’s designee.
7.22.2 CITY HALL/CENTENNIAL CENTER PARKING LOT:
The parking lot between City Hall and the Centennial Center is reserved for use by visitors
to the City Hall campus. Between the hours of 9 a.m. through 6 p.m., Monday through
Friday, employees are not to park non-City vehicles within this parking lot. In accordance
with KCC 9.38.060, this prohibition does not apply to an employee whose vehicle displays
a valid disabled parking placard or disabled license plate. During this same time period,
City vehicles should not be parked within this parking lot for longer than two hours. Any
City vehicle that requires parking for longer than two hours should be parked within other
areas authorized either by this policy or the Facilities Superintendent.
7.22.3 CENTENNIAL CENTER PARKING GARAGE:
A. Third Floor—Employee Parking. During their workday, employees may park
non-City vehicles on the third floor of the Centennial Center parking garage,
including the ramp that leads from the second floor to the third floor.
Employees may park non-City vehicles in other areas of the Centennial
Center parking garage as the Facilities Superintendent may authorize
through the issuance of an appropriate permit or the posting of a sign that
declares the parking space open for general employee parking.
B. Second Floor—City Vehicle Parking. The second floor of the Centennial
Center parking garage, including the ramp that leads from the first floor to
the second floor, is reserved exclusively for City vehicles, and department
directors or other authorized members of the Mayor’s Leadership Team.
Parking spots within this designated area will be assigned by the Facilities
Superintendent. Any unauthorized vehicle parked in violation of the Kent
City Code or this policy is subject to immediate towing in accordance with
state and local law.
C. First Floor—Visitor and Carpool Parking. The first floor of the Centennial
Center parking garage is generally reserved for use by visitors to the City
Hall campus and carpoolers authorized through the City’s Commute Trip
Reduction program. The Facilities Superintendent may authorize, restrict, or
designate other parking on the first floor of the parking garage, including
without limitation employee or electric vehicle parking, through the issuance
of an appropriate permit, or the posting of a sign or other marking that
declares the purpose for which the parking space may be used. Any
unauthorized vehicle parked in violation of this policy, or in a space marked
and reserved for another use, is subject to immediate towing in accordance
with state and local law.
City employees may not park non-City vehicles within parking spaces
reserved exclusively for carpoolers, unless the employee possesses an
authorized carpool permit. City employees also may not park non-City
vehicles within parking spaces reserved for visitors or City vehicles, unless
the employee possesses a parking permit that exempts the employee from
this prohibition.
7.22.4 FACILITIES SUPERINTENDENT AUTHORITY
The Facilities Superintendent possesses all authority necessary to designate, assign,
restrict, and authorize parking within all municipal parking facilities, and to issue permits
exempting holders from the time limitations established by KCC 9.38.060 and KCC
9.38.065.
7.22.5 PARKING PERMITS
The Facilities Superintendent may create a system of permits that visually identifies for
City officials and law enforcement where the holder of the permit is authorized to park
within the City’s municipal parking facilities. If a permit is issued to a City employee, for a
particular non-City vehicle or for a City vehicle, the employee must display the permit on
the vehicle at all times while the vehicle is parked within the parking facility. The permit
must be displayed on the vehicle to which it was issued, and in the manner and location
as the Facilities Superintendent may require.
Parking in violation of this policy or displaying an invalid permit may result in any or all of
the following: discipline under Policy 2.11, issuance of a parking infraction by law
enforcement under the Kent City Code, or towing of the improperly parked vehicle. A
permit is invalid if it is displayed on a vehicle other than the vehicle to which it was
issued, displayed by an employee other than the employee to whom it was issued, or
displayed after the permit’s noted expiration date.
The following are permits the Facilities Superintendent has or may issue under this policy.
This list, however, is not intended to limit the discretion granted to the Facilities
Superintendent, who may institute any permit system the Superintendent deems
appropriate. All permits issued prior to the effective date of this policy will automatically
expire on July 31, 2017, except any carpool permits previously issued through the City’s
Commute Trip Reduction Program:
A. Employee Permit: This permit allows an employee, or an identified non-City
vehicle, to park in those areas specifically designated and reserved for

municipal parking facility, the employee may park in any parking space
generally made available to the public.

parking lot, which is prohibited under Section 7.22.2 above.
C. Mayor/Council Permit: This permit allows the Mayor or a Councilmember to
park in any municipal parking facility, including the City Hall parking lot, or
on-street parking space, irrespective of any parking designation or time
limitation assigned to the parking space. This exemption, however,
specifically excludes those marked parking spaces that are reserved for the
disabled who possess the required disabled parking placard, or those spaces
reserved for carpool members under the City’s Commute Trip Reduction
Program.
D. Director Permit: In addition to any designated employee parking areas, this
permit allows department directors, or other authorized members of the
Mayor’s Leadership Team, to park in assigned parking spaces on the second
floor of the Centennial Center parking garage. This permit does not authorize
parking within the City Hall parking lot beyond the two (2) hour time limit
provided for by KCC 9.38.060.
E. Jail/Court/Attorney Permit: In addition to any designated employee parking
areas, this permit allows authorized court, attorney, or jail personnel to park

Commons, or within the two-hour on-street parking spots located around the

irrespective of any time limitation attached to the parking space.
Upon staff request, the Facilities Superintendent may issue temporary
permits to non-City officials or non-City employees for any reasonable
purpose, including business that is being conducted at the City and expected
to exceed two hours in duration. Upon the request of a department director,
the Facilities Superintendent may issue a temporary permit to a City
employee to authorize parking within the City Hall parking lot or the first
floor of the Centennial Center parking garage to accommodate an employee’s
particular need, including without limitation an injury or disability.
A temporary permit must display an issuance date and an expiration date,
and they are only valid for the time period inclusive of those dates.
All permits must be displayed as required by the Facilities Superintendent, which
requirement may be stated on the permit itself.

Document Dated 2-1-17 5
b. Contingent Extension. If one or more Contracting Cities provides written
notice to the County of its intent to opt out of a second term, the Agreement
shall continue for a second five‐year term, until December 31, 2027, if:

effective, and this Agreement shall terminate at the end of the initial
term.
c. Date References. For purposes of construing date specific rights and

of animal services prior to the termination or expiration of this Agreement, but only
if the later agreement will not cause either a decrease in the level of services
provided to the Cities by the County or an increase in the costs payable by the
Cities to the County under this Agreement. Cities that are party to such
agreements are referred to herein as “Latecomer Cities.”
Document Dated 2-1-17 6
6. Compensation. The County will develop an Estimated Payment calculation for
each Service Year using the formulas described in Exhibit C, and shall transmit the
payment information to the City according to the schedule described below. The
County will also calculate and inform the City as to the Reconciliation Adjustment
Amount on or before June 30 of each year, as described in Section 7 below and
Exhibit D, in order to reconcile the Estimated Payments made by the City in the
prior Service Year. The City will pay the Estimated Payment, and any applicable
Reconciliation Adjustment Amounts as follows (a list of payment‐related notices
and dates is included at Exhibit C‐7):
a. Service Year 2018: The County will provide the City with a calculation of
the Estimated Payment amounts for Service Year 2018 on or before
December 15, 2017, which shall be derived from the Estimated 2018
Payment Amount set forth on Exhibit C‐1, adjusted if necessary based on
the Contracting Cities and other updates to Calendar Year data in Exhibit
C‐2. The City will pay the County the Estimated Payment Amounts for
Service Year 2018 on or before August 15, 2018. The Reconciliation
Adjustment Amount for Service Year 2018 shall be paid by the City, or by
the County if the calculation shows the City is entitled to receive a payment
from the County, on or before August 15, 2019, as described in this section.
b. Service Years after 2018.
i. Estimated Payment Determined by December 15. The Estimated
Payment amounts for the upcoming Service Year will be determined
by the County following adoption of the County’s budget and
applying the formulas in Exhibit C.
ii. Estimated Payments Due August 15. The City will pay the County the
Estimated Payment Amount on or before each August 15.
iii. The Reconciliation Adjustment Amount for the prior Service Year
shall be paid on or before August 15 of the following calendar year, as
described in Section 7.
iv. If a Party fails to pay an Estimated Payment or Reconciliation
Adjustment Amount within 15 days of the date owed, the Party owed
shall notify the owing Party that they have ten (10) days to cure non‐
Document Dated 2-1-17 7
payment. If the Party fails to cure its nonpayment within this time
period following notice, the amount owed shall accrue interest
thereon at the rate of 1% per month from and after the original due
date and, if the nonpaying Party is the City, the County at its sole
discretion may withhold provision of Animal Services to the City until
all outstanding amounts are paid. If the nonpaying Party is the
County, the City may withhold future Estimated Payments until all
outstanding amounts are paid. Each Party may examine the other’s
books and records to verify charges.
v. Unless the Parties otherwise direct, payments shall be submitted to
the addresses noted at Section 15.g.
c. Payment Obligation Survives Expiration or Termination of Agreement.
The obligation of the City (or as applicable, the County), to pay an
Estimated Payment Amount or Reconciliation Adjustment Amount for a
Service Year included in the term of this Agreement shall survive the
Expiration or Termination of this Agreement. For example, if this
Agreement terminates on December 31, 2022, the Estimated 2022 Payment is
nevertheless due on or before August 15, 2022, and the Reconciliation
Adjustment Amount shall be payable on or before August 15, 2023.
d. The Parties agree the payment and reconciliation formulas in this
Agreement (including all Exhibits) are fair and reasonable.
7. Reconciliation of Estimated Payments and Revenues.
a. In order that the Contracting Parties share costs of the regional Animal
Services Program based on their actual, rather than estimated, licensing
revenues, there will be an annual reconciliation. Specifically, on or before
June 30 of each year, the County will reconcile amounts owed under this
Agreement for the prior Service Year by comparing each Contracting Party’s
Estimated Payments to the amount derived in Exhibit C using actual
revenue data for such Service Period as detailed in Exhibit D. There will
also be an adjustment if necessary to account for annexations of areas with a
population of 2,500 or more and for changes in relative population shares of
Contracting Parties’ attributable to Latecomer Cities. The County will
provide the results of the reconciliation to all Contracting Parties in writing
on or before June 30. The Reconciliation Adjustment Amount will be paid on
Document Dated 2-1-17 8
or before August 15 of the then current year, regardless of the prior
termination of the Agreement as per Section 5.c.
b. The Parties intend that the provision of Animal Services becomes more
financially sustainable over the term of this Agreement.. The County will
develop proposals designed to support this goal. The County will consult
with the Joint City‐County Collaboration Committee on any proposals to
generate new revenue.
c. The Parties do not intend for the provision of Animal Services or receipt of
such Services under this Agreement to be a profit‐making enterprise. Where
a Contracting Party receives revenues in excess of its costs under this
Agreement (including costs of PAWS (or other animal services provider,)
shelter service, Enhanced Control Service, and Enhanced Licensing Support
Service, if applicable), they will be reinvested in the Program to reduce the
County’s costs of the system that are not included in the allocation to cities
and to improve service delivery.
8. Enhanced Licensing Revenue Support Services
a. A City may request licensing revenue support from the County during the
term of this Agreement by executing Attachment A to Exhibit F. The terms
and conditions under which such enhanced licensing support service will be
provided are further described at Exhibit F. Provision of enhanced licensing
support service during the term of this agreement is subject to the County
determining it has capacity to provide such services. Provision of enhanced
licensing support services is further subject to the Parties executing a
Licensing Support Contract (Exhibit F).
b. In addition to other terms described in Exhibit F, receipt of licensing
revenue support is subject to the recipient City providing in‐kind services,
including but not limited to: assisting in communication with City residents;
publicizing any canvassing efforts the Parties have agreed should be
implemented; assisting in the recruitment of canvassing staff, if applicable;
and providing information to the County to assist in targeting its canvassing
activities, if applicable.
c. The County has the option to implement licensing support services for cities
receiving transition and shelter credits.

Exhibit A
Animal Service Description
Part I: Control Services
Control Services include the operation of a public call center, the dispatch of animal
control officers in response to calls, and the handling of calls in the field by animal control
officers, including the collection and delivery of animals to the Kent Shelter (or such other
shelters as the County may utilize in accordance with this Agreement).
1. Call Center
a. The County will operate an animal control call center five days every week
(excluding holidays and County‐designated furlough days, if applicable) for
a minimum of eight hours per day (normal business hours). The County will
negotiate with applicable unions with the purpose of obtaining a
commitment for the five day call center operation to include at least one
weekend day. The County may adjust the days of the week the call center
operates to match the final choice of Control District service days.
b. The animal control call center will provide callers with guidance, education,
options and alternative resources as possible/appropriate.
c. When the call center is not in operation, callers will hear a recorded message
referring them to 911 in case of emergency, or if the event is not an
emergency, to either leave a message or call back during regular business
hours.
2. Animal Control Officers
a. The County will divide the area receiving Control Services into three Control
Districts as shown on Exhibit B. Subject to the limitations provided in this
Section 2, Control Districts 200 and 220 each will be staffed with one Animal
Control Officer during Regular ACO Service Hours and District 500 will be
staffed with two Animal Control Officers (ACOs) during Regular ACO
Service Hours. Regular ACO Service Hours is defined to include not less
than 40 hours per week. The County will negotiate with applicable unions
with the intention of obtaining a commitment for Regular ACO Service
Hours to include service on at least one weekend day. Regular ACO Service
Hours may change from time to time.
i. Except as the County may in its sole discretion determine is necessary
to protect officer safety, ACOs shall be available for responding to
calls within their assigned Control District and will not be generally
available to respond to calls in other Control Districts. Exhibit B‐1
shows the map of Control Districts.
Document Dated 2-1-17 17
ii. Countywide, the County will have a total of not less than 6 ACOs
(Full‐Time Equivalent employees) on staff to maximize the ability of
the County to staff all Control Districts notwithstanding vacation,
sick‐leave, and other absences, and to respond to high workload areas
on a day‐to‐day basis. While the Parties recognize that the County
may at times not be able to staff all Control Districts as proposed
given unscheduled sick leave or vacancies, the County will make its
best efforts to establish regular hourly schedules and vacations for
ACOs in order to minimize any such gaps in coverage. In the event of
extended absences among the 6 ACOs, the County will re‐allocate
remaining ACOs as practicable in order to balance the hours of service
available in each Control District. In the event of ACO absences (for
any causes and whether or not such absences are extended as a result
of vacancies or other issues), the first priority in allocating ACOs shall
be to ensure there is an ACO assigned in each Control District during
Regular ACO Service Hours.
b. Control District boundaries are designed to balance work load, correspond
to jurisdictional boundaries and facilitate expedient transportation access
across each district. The County will arrange a location for an Animal
Control vehicle to be stationed overnight in Control Districts (“host sites”) in
order to facilitate service and travel time improvements or efficiencies.
c. The County will use its best efforts to ensure that High Priority Calls are
responded to by an ACO during Regular ACO Service Hours on the day
such call is received. The County shall retain full discretion as to the order in
which High Priority calls are responded. High Priority Calls include those
calls that pose an emergent danger to the community, including:
1. Emergent animal bite,
2. Emergent vicious dog,
3. Emergent injured animal,
4. Police assist calls—(police officer on scene requesting assistance
from an ACO),
5. Emergent loose livestock or other loose or deceased animal that
poses a potential danger to the community, and
6. Emergent animal cruelty.
d. Lower priority calls include all calls that are not High Priority Calls. These
calls will be responded to by the call center staff over the telephone, referral
to other resources, or by dispatching of an ACO as necessary or available, all
as determined necessary and appropriate in the sole discretion of the
County. Particularly in the busier seasons of the year (spring through fall),
Document Dated 2-1-17 18
lower priority calls may only receive a telephone response from the Call
Center. Lower Priority calls are non‐emergent requests for service, including
but not limited to:
1. Non‐emergent high priority events,
2. Patrol request – (ACO requested to patrol a specific area due to
possible code violations),
3. Trespass,
4. Stray Dog/Cat/other animal confined,
5. Barking Dog,
6. Leash Law Violation,
7. Deceased Animal,
8. Trap Request,
9. Female animal in season, and
10. Owner’s Dog/Cat/other animal confined.
e. The Joint‐City County Collaboration Committee is tasked with reviewing
response protocols and recommending potential changes to further the goal
of supporting the most appropriate use of scarce Control Service resources
countywide. The County will in good faith consider such recommendations
but reserves the right to make final decisions on response protocols. The
County will make no changes to its procedures that are inconsistent with the
terms of this Exhibit A, except that upon the recommendation of the Joint
City‐County Collaboration Committee, the County may agree to modify
response with respect to calls involving animals other than horses, livestock,
dogs and cats.
f. In addition to the ACOs serving specific districts, the following Control
Service resources will be available on a shared basis for all Parties and shall
be dispatched as deemed necessary and appropriate by the County.
1. An animal control sergeant will provide oversight of and back‐
up for ACOs five days per week at least 8 hours/day (subject to
vacation/sick leave/training/etc.).
2. Staff will be available to perform animal cruelty investigations,
to respond to animal cruelty cases, and to prepare related
reports (subject to vacation/sick leave/training/etc.).
3. Not less than 1 ACO will be on call every day at times that are
not Regular ACO Service Hours (including the days per week
that are not included within Regular ACO Service Hours), to
respond to High Priority Calls posing an extreme life and
safety danger, as determined by the County.
g. The Parties understand that rural areas of the County will generally receive a
less rapid response time from ACOs than urban areas.
Document Dated 2-1-17 19
h. Contracting Cities may contract with King County for “Enhanced Control
Services” through separate agreement (as set forth in Exhibit E); provided
that a City may not purchase Enhanced Control Services under Option 1 as
described in Exhibit E if such City is receiving a Transition Funding Credit
and/or Shelter Credit.
Part II: Shelter Services
Shelter services include the general care, cleaning and nourishment of owner‐released, lost
or stray dogs, cats and other animals. Such services shall be provided 7‐days per week, 365
days per year at the County’s animal shelter in Kent (the “Shelter”) or other shelter
locations utilized by the County, including related services described in this section.
Major maintenance of the Shelter will continue to be included in the Program costs
allocated under this Agreement (as part of the central County overhead charges allocated
to the Program). No major renovation, upgrades or replacements of the Shelter established
as a capital project within the County Budget are anticipated. Nor will any such capital
project costs be allocated to the Contracting Cities during the term of this Agreement
without prior agreement of the Contracting Cities.
1. Shelter Services
a. Services provided to animals will include enrichment, exercise, care and
feeding, and reasonable medical attention.
b. The Public Service Counter at the Shelter will be open to the public not less
than 30 hours per week and not less than 5 days per week, excluding
holidays and County designated furlough days, for purposes of pet
redemption, adoption, license sales services and (as may be offered from
time to time) pet surrenders. The Public Service Counter at the shelter may
be open for additional hours if practicable within available resources.
c. The County will maintain a volunteer/foster care function at the Shelter to
encourage use of volunteers working at the shelter and use of foster
families to provide fostering/transitional care between shelter and
permanent homes for adoptable animals.
d. The County will maintain an animal placement function at the Shelter to
provide for and manage adoption events and other activities leading to the
placement of animals in appropriate homes.
e. Veterinary services will be provided and will include animal exams,
treatment and minor procedures, spay/neuter and other surgeries. Limited
emergency veterinary services will be available in non‐business hours,
through third‐party contracts, and engaged if and when the County
determines necessary.
Document Dated 2-1-17 20
f. The County will take steps through its operating policies, codes, public fee
structures and partnerships to reduce the number of animals and their
length of stay in the Shelter, and may at times limit owner‐surrenders and
field pick‐ups, adjust fees and incentivize community‐based solutions.
2. Other Shelter services
a. Dangerous animals will be confined as appropriate/necessary.
b. Disaster/emergency preparedness for animals will be coordinated
regionally through efforts of King County staff.
3. Shelter for Contracting Cities contracting with PAWS (Potentially including
Woodinville, Shoreline, Lake Forest Park, Kenmore (“Northern Cities”)). For so
long as a Northern City has a contract in effect for sheltering dogs and cats with the
Progressive Animal Welfare Society in Lynnwood (PAWS), or other animal service
providers the County will not shelter dogs and cats picked up within the
boundaries of such City(s), except in emergent circumstances and when the PAWS
Lynnwood (or other animal service providers), shelter is not available. Dogs and
cats picked up by the County within such City(s) will be transferred by the County
to the PAWS (shelter in Lynnwood (or other animal service providers)for shelter
care, which will be provided and funded solely through separate contracts between
each Northern City and PAWS, (or other animal service providers )and the County
will refer residents of that City to PAWS (or other animal service providers ) for
sheltering services. The County will provide shelter services for animals other than
dogs and cats that are picked up within the boundaries of Northern Cities
contracting with PAWS (or other animal service providers) on the same terms and
conditions that such shelter services are provided to other Contracting Parties.
Except as provided in this Section, the County is under no obligation to drop
animals picked up in any Contracting City at any shelter other than the County
shelter in Kent.
4. County Contract with PAWS, or other animal service providers. Nothing in this
Agreement is intended to preclude the County from contracting with other entities
to care for animals taken in by the County.
5. Service to Persons who are not Residents of Contracting Cities. The County will
not provide routine shelter services for animals brought in by persons who are not
residents of Contracting Cities, but may provide emergency medical care to such
animals, and may seek to recover the cost of such services from the pet owner
and/or the City in which the resident lives.
Part III: Licensing Services
Licensing services include the operation and maintenance of a unified system to license
pets in Contracting Cities.
Document Dated 2-1-17 21
1. The public will be able to purchase pet licenses in person at the County Licensing
Division public service counter in downtown Seattle (500 4th Avenue), King County
Community Service Centers and the Kent Animal Shelter during regular business
hours. The County will maintain on its website the capacity for residents to
purchase pet licenses on‐line.
2. The County may seek to engage and maintain a variety of private sector partners
(e.g. veterinary clinics, pet stores, grocery stores, city halls, apartment complexes) as
hosts for locations where licenses can be sold or promoted in addition to County
facilities.
3. The County will furnish licenses and application forms and other materials to the
City for its use in selling licenses to the public at City facilities and at public events.
4. The County will publicize reminders and information about pet licensing from time
to time through inserts in County mailings to residents and on the County’s public
television channel.
5. The County will annually mail or E‐mail at least one renewal form, reminder and
late notice (as applicable) to the last known addresses of all City residents who
purchased a pet license from the County within the previous year (using a rolling
12‐month calendar).
6. The County may make telephone reminder calls in an effort to encourage pet
license renewals.
7. The County shall mail pet license tags or renewal notices as appropriate to
individuals who purchase new or renew their pet licenses.
8. The County will maintain a database of pets owned, owners, addresses and
violations.
9. The County will provide limited sales and marketing support in an effort to
maintain the existing licensing base and increase future license sales. The County
reserves the right to determine the level of sales and marketing support provided
from year to year in consultation with the Joint City‐County Collaboration
Committee. The County will work with any City in which door‐to‐door
canvassing takes place to reach agreement with the City as to the hours and
locations of such canvassing.
10. The County will provide current pet license data files (database extractions) to a
Contracting City promptly upon request. Data files will include pets owned,
owners, addresses, phone numbers, E‐mail addresses, violations, license renewal
status, and any other relevant or useful data maintained in the County’s database
on pets licensed within the City’s limits. A City’s database extraction will be
provided in electronic format agreed to by both parties in a timely fashion and in a
standard data release format that is easily usable by the City.

Exhibit C
Calculation of Estimated Payments
The Estimated Payment is the amount, before reconciliation, owed by the City to the
County (or owed by the County to the City if the amount calculated is less than $0) for the
provision of one (1) year of Animal Services, based on the formulas below.
In summary and subject to the more detailed descriptions below, an initial cost
allocation is made for the Service Year (example 2018) based on the cost factors described
in Part 1 below; costs are offset by various revenues as described in Part 2. An annual
reconciliation is completed as described in Part 3.
Based on the calculation process described in Parts 1 and 2, an “Estimated Payment”
amount owed by each City for each Service Year is determined. Each Estimated Payment
covers one (1) year of service. Payment for service is made by each City every August 15.
Part 1: Service Year Cost Allocation Process
Control Services costs are to be allocated among all Contracting Parties based
20% on their relative population and 80% on the number of calls for service
attributable to each Contracting Party. Shelter Services costs are to be allocated
among all Contracting Parties based 20% on their relative population and 80%
on the total shelter intake of animals attributable to each Contracting Party,
except that cities contracting for shelter services with PAWS (or other animal
service providers) will pay only a population‐based charge.
Licensing Services costs are to be allocated among all Contracting Parties, based
20% on their relative population and 80% on the number of licenses issued to
residents of each Contracting Party.
Part 2: Revenue and Other Adjustments to the Cost Allocation.
In 2018 and each Service Year thereafter, the costs allocable to each Contracting Party are
reduced by various revenues and credits:
Licensing revenue will be attributed to each Contracting Party based on the
residency of the individual purchasing the license (see Part 3 for reconciliation
of Licensing Revenues). As Licensing Revenue and Non‐Licensing Revenues
change from year to year, the most recent historical actual data for these
amounts will be incorporated to offset costs (See Exhibit C‐6 for calculation
periods). Historical actual data shall be derived from the most recent complete
Document Dated 2-1-17 25
year, or the most recent December – November actual, whichever is more,
unless otherwise approved by the Joint City County Collaboration Committee.
Two credits are applicable to various Contracting Cities to reduce the amount of
their Estimated Payments: a Transition Funding Credit (fixed at 2013 level,
payable annually through 2022) for cities with high per‐capita costs and a
Shelter Credit (for Contracting Cities with the highest per capita intakes (usage))
(adjusted annually as indicated in Exhibit C‐4, payable annually through 2022, ).
The County agrees to give serious consideration to maintaining the various
credits provided to the Contracting City under this Agreement in any extension
of the Agreement. Application of these Credits is limited such that the
Estimated Payment cannot fall below zero (before or after the annual
Reconciliation calculation).
All Contracting Cities may request Enhanced Licensing Support Services by
executing a separate Enhanced Licensing Support Acknowledgement form with
the County (Exhibit F). This support is subject to availability of County staff.
In each Service Year subsequent to 2018, allocable costs are adjusted for each
Contracting Party based on the actual increase or decrease in allocable costs
from year to year for the whole Program. Total Budgeted Allocable Costs
cannot increase by more than the Annual Budget Inflator Cap. The Annual
Budget Inflator Cap is the rate of inflation (based on the annual change in the
September CPI‐U for the Seattle‐Tacoma‐Bremerton area over the rate the
preceding year) plus the rate of population growth for the preceding year for the
County (including the unincorporated area and all Contracting Cities).
In all Service Years, costs are also adjusted for annexations (in or out of the
Program service area) of areas with a population of 2,500 or more and the shift
in relative population shares among all Contracting Parties as a result of any
Latecomer Cities.
Part 3: Reconciliation
Estimated Payments are reconciled to reflect actual revenues as well as changes
in population attributable to annexations of areas with a population of 2,500 or
more (in or out of the Program) and the shifts in relative population among all
Contracting Parties as a result of any Latecomer Cities. The Reconciliation occurs
by June 30 of the following calendar year. The Reconciliation calculation and
payment process is described in Exhibit D.
Document Dated 2-1-17 26
The receipt of Transition Funding Credits or Shelter Credits can never result in
the amount of the Estimated Reconciliation Adjustment Payment falling below
$0.
If a jurisdiction’s licensing revenues exceed its net costs payable under this
Agreement, then in the annual reconciliation process, the excess licensing
revenue is reallocated to offset the County’s costs not included in the cost
allocation model provided that, the determination of net costs shall be adjusted as
follows: (1) for a Contracting City purchasing shelter services from PAWS (or
other animal service provider);, net costs includes consideration of the amounts
paid by such City to PAWS (or other animal service provider); and (2) for a
Contracting City purchasing Enhanced Control Services per Exhibit E, and/or
purchasing Enhanced Licensing Support Services per Exhibit F , net costs
includes consideration of the amounts paid for such services.
Part 4: Estimated Payment Calculation Formulas
For Each Service Year .
EP = [(EC + ES + EL) – (ELR + TC + SC)]
Where:
“EP” is the Estimated Payment. For Contracting Cities receiving a Transition Credit or
Shelter Credit, the value of EP may not be less $0.
“EC” or “Estimated Control Services Cost” is the City’s estimated share of the Budgeted
Net Allocable Control Services Cost for the Service Year. See formula below for deriving
“EC.”
“ES” or “Estimated Shelter Services Cost” is the City’s estimated share of the Budged Net
Allocable Shelter Services Cost for the Service Year. See formula below for deriving “ES.”
“EL” or “Estimated Licensing Services Cost” is the City’s estimated share of the Budgeted
Net Allocable Licensing Services Cost for the Service Year. See formula below for deriving
“EL.”
Document Dated 2-1-17 27
“ELR” is Estimated Licensing Revenue attributable to the City. For purposes of
determining the Estimated Payment in Year 2018, ELR is based on the amount of revenue
from each type of active license issued to City residents in 2016, or December 2015‐
November 2016, whichever is more (the “Calculation Period”). Exhibit C‐2 shows a
preliminary estimate of 2016 Licensing Revenue; the numbers in this exhibit are subject to
Reconciliation by June 30, 2019. Additional factors for Estimated Licensing Revenue:
For Contracting Cities that have executed an Enhanced Licensing Support
Acknowledgement form per Exhibit F, ER is increased by adding the estimated net
amount of revenue, if any, estimated to be derived as a result of enhanced licensing
support provided to the City (the “Licensing Revenue Target” or “RT” less the
estimated enhanced licensing support cost); this amount is shown in the column
captioned “Estimated Revenue from Enhanced Licensing Support” on Exhibit C‐1).
License Revenue that cannot be attributed to a specific Party (e.g., License Revenue
associated with incomplete address information), which generally represents a very
small fraction of overall revenue, is allocated amongst the Parties based on their
respective percentages of ELR as compared to Total Licensing Revenue.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, “ELR” may be based on an estimated amount of
licensing for the Service Year for the City if, in the reasonable judgment of the
County, an estimated Licensing Revenue amount can be proposed that is likely to
more closely approximate the actual Licensing Revenue for the Service Year than
the data from the Calculation Period; provided that the use of any estimates shall be
subject to the conditions of this paragraph. The County shall work with the Joint
City‐County Collaboration Committee to develop estimated Licensing Revenue
amounts for all Contracting Cities for the upcoming Service Year. If the Joint City
County Collaboration Committee develops a consensus proposal (agreement shall
be based on the consensus of those Contracting Cities present at the Joint City‐
County Collaboration Committee meeting in which Licensing Revenue estimates
are presented in preparation for the December 15 Estimated Payment Calculation
notification), it shall be used in developing the December 15 Final Estimated
Payment Calculation. If a consensus is not reached, the County shall apply the
actual Licensing Revenue from the Calculation Period for the Service Year to
determine the Preliminary Estimated Payment.
“TC” is the Transition Funding Credit, if any, allocable to the City for each Service Year
calculated per Exhibit C‐4.
“SC” is the Shelter Credit, if any, allocable to the City for each Service Year calculated per
Exhibit C‐4.
Document Dated 2-1-17 28
“B” is the “Budgeted Total Net Allocable Costs” estimated for the Service Year for the
provision of Animal Services which are allocated among all the Contracting Parties for the
purposes of determining the Estimated Payment. The Budgeted Total Net Allocable Costs
are calculated as the Budgeted Total Allocable Costs (subject to the Annual Budget
Inflator Cap) less Budgeted Total Non‐Licensing Revenue. The Budgeted Total
Allocable Costs exclude any amount expended by the County as Transition Funding
Credits, or Shelter Credits (described in Exhibit C‐4), or to provide Enhanced Licensing
Support Services (described in Section 7). A preliminary calculation (by service area—
Control, Shelter, Licensing) of Budgeted Total Net Allocable Costs, Budgeted Total
Allocable Costs and Budgeted Total Non‐Licensing Revenue for purposes of calculating
the Pre‐Commitment Estimated 2018 Payments is set forth in Exhibit C‐3.
“Total Licensing Revenue” means all revenue received by the County’s Animal Services
Program attributable to the sale of pet licenses excluding late fees, refunds and rebates.
With respect to each Contracting Party, the amount of “Licensing Revenue” is the revenue
generated by the sale of pet licenses to residents of the jurisdiction, excluding late fees,
refunds and rebates. (With respect to the County, the jurisdiction is the unincorporated
area of King County.)
“Total Non‐Licensing Revenue” means all revenue from fines, forfeitures, and all other
fees and charges imposed by the Countyʹs Animal Services program in connection with
the operation of the Program, but excluding Total Licensing Revenue, Designated
Donations, grants, or entrepreneurial activities.
“Designated Donations” mean donations from individuals or other third parties to the
County made for the purpose of supporting specific operations, programs or facilities
within the Animal Services Program.
“Enhanced Licensing Support Services” means activities or funding to be undertaken in
specific cities to enhance licensing revenues, per Section 7 and Exhibit F.
“Annual Budget Inflator Cap” means the maximum amount by which the Budgeted Total
Allocable Costs may be increased from one Service Year to the next Service Year, and year
to year, which is calculated as the rate of inflation (based on the annual change in the
September CPI‐U for the Seattle‐Tacoma‐Bremerton area over the rate the preceding year)
plus the rate of population growth for the preceding year for the County (including the
unincorporated area and all Contracting Cities), as identified by comparing the two most
recently published July OFM city and county population reports. The cost allocations to
Document Dated 2-1-17 29
individual services (e.g. Control Services, Shelter Services or Licensing Services) or specific
items within those services may be increased or decreased from year to year in so long as
the Budgeted Total Annual Allocable Costs do not exceed the Annual Budget Inflator Cap.
“Service Year” is the calendar year in which Animal Services are/were provided.
“Calculation Period” is the time period from which data is used to calculate the Estimated
Payment. The Calculation Period differs by formula component and Service Year. Exhibit
C‐6 sets forth in table form the Calculation Periods for all formula factors for the Service
Years.
“Population” with respect to any Contracting Party for Service Year 2018 means the
population number derived from the State Office of Financial Management (OFM) most
recent annually published report of population used for purposes of allocating state
shared revenues in the subsequent calendar year (typically published by OFM each July,
reflecting final population estimates as of April of the same calendar year). For each Service
Year, the OFM reported population will be adjusted for annexations of 2,500 or more
residents known to be occurring after April, 2017 and before the end of the Service Year.
For example, when the final Estimated Payment calculation for 2018 is provided on
December 15, 2017, the population numbers used will be from the OFM report issued in
July 2017 and will be adjusted for all annexations of 2,500 or more residents that occurred
(or are known to be occurring) between April 1, 2017 and December 31, 2018. In any
Service Year, if: (1) annexations of areas with a population of 2,500 or more people occurs
to impact the population within the jurisdiction of a Contracting Party; or (2) a Latecomer
City is brought under contract with the County, these changes shall be accounted for in the
calculation of the Estimated Payment for such Service Year. Such adjustment shall be
made at the next occurring possibility (e.g., at calculation of the Final Estimated Payment,
or Reconciliation, whichever is soonest). The adjustment will be made on a pro rata basis
to reflect the portion of the year in which the population change was in effect.
The population of an annexed area will be as determined by the Boundary Review
Board, in consultation with the annexing city. The population of the
unincorporated area within any District will be determined by the County’s
demographer.
In the case of a Latecomer City, the population shall be similarly adjusted among all
Contracting Parties in the manner described above for annexations, by considering
the change in population between all Contracting Parties attributable solely to the
Latecomer City becoming a Contracting Party.
Exhibit C‐1 shows the calculation of Pre‐Commitment EP for Service Year 2018 assuming
that the County and all Cities that have expressed interest in signing this Agreement as of
December 31, 2016, do in fact approve and sign the Agreement.
Document Dated 2-1-17 30
Component Calculation Formulas (used in each Service Year ):
Estimated Control (EC) Services Costs is calculated as follows:
EC = ((C x .8) x ACFS) + ((C x .2] x Pop%)
Where:
“C” is the Budgeted Net Allocable Control Services Cost for the Service Year, which
equals the County’s Budgeted Total Allocable Costs for Control Services in the Service
Year, less the Budgeted Total Non‐Licensing Revenue attributable to Control Services in
the Service Year (for example, fines issued in the field). For purposes of determining the
Pre‐Commitment Estimated Payments for 2018, the Budgeted Net Allocable Control
Services Cost is $1,979,509., calculated as shown on Exhibit C‐3, and shall be similarly
derived to determine the Final Estimated Payment for 2018 and each Service Year.
”ACFS” is the total Average annual number of Calls for Service during the Calculation
Period for the Service Year for Control Services originating within the City expressed as a
percentage of the ACFS for all Contract Parties.. A Call for Service is defined as a request
from an individual, business or jurisdiction for a control service response to a location
within the City, or a response initiated by an Animal Control Officer in the field, which is
entered into the County’s data system (at the Animal Services call center or the sheriff’s
dispatch center acting as back‐up to the call center) as a request for service. Calls for
information, hang‐ups and veterinary transfers are not included in the calculation of Calls
for Service. A response by an Animal Control Officer pursuant to an Enhanced Control
Services Contract will not be counted as a Call for Service. For purposes of determining
the Estimated Payment for each Service Year, the Calculation Period for CFS is the rolling
annual average based on the most recently completed three (3) calendar years actual
usage. For example 2014‐2016 for 2018 Service Year. Exhibit C‐2 shows a preliminary
estimate of CFS for 2014‐2016, used to determine the Pre‐Commitment Estimated 2018
Payment; the numbers in this Exhibit C‐2 are subject to Reconciliation by June 30, 2017.
“Pop%” is the Population of the City or unincorporated County, expressed as a percentage
of the Population of all Contracting Parties.
Document Dated 2-1-17 31
Estimated Shelter (ES) cost for each Service Year is calculated as follows:
If, as of the effective date of this Agreement, the City has entered into a contract for shelter
services with the Progressive Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) in Lynnwood, WA, (or
other animal service provider), then, for so long as such contract remains in effect, the City
will not pay a share of shelter costs associated with shelter usage (“A” as defined below)
and instead the Estimated Payment will include a population‐based charge only,
reflecting the regional shelter benefits nonetheless received by such City, calculated as
follows (the components of this calculation are defined as described below).
ES = (S x.2 x Pop%)
If the City does not qualify for the population‐based shelter charge only, ES is determined
as follows:
ES = (S x .2 x Pop%) + (S x .8 x AA)
Where:
“S” is the Budgeted Net Allocable Shelter Services Cost for the Service Year, which equals
the County’s Budgeted Total Allocable Costs for Shelter Services less Budgeted Total Non‐
Licensing Revenue attributable to Shelter operations (i.e., adoption fees, microchip fees,
impound fees, owner‐surrender fees, from all Contracting Parties). For purposes of
determining the Pre‐Commitment Estimated Payments for 2018, the Budgeted Net
Allocable Shelter Services Cost is $2,960,088., calculated as shown on Exhibit C‐3, and
shall be similarly derived to determine the Final Estimated Payments for 2018 and for each
Service Year.
“Pop%” is the population of the City, or unincorporated County, expressed as a
percentage of the Population of all Contracting Parties.
“AA” is the animal intakes that were: (1) picked up by County Animal Control Officers
from within the City, (2) delivered by a City resident to the County shelter, or (3) delivered
to the shelter that are owned by a resident of the City, averaged during the Calculation
Period and expressed as a percentage of the total number of animals in the County Shelter
during the Calculation Period. For purposes of calculating the Estimated Payment for
each Service Year, the Calculation Period for “AA” is the rolling annual average based on
the most recently completed three (3) calendar years (for example 2014‐2016 for Service
Year 2018)(actual usage). Exhibit C‐2 shows a preliminary estimate of “A” for 2014‐2016
used to determine the Pre‐Commitment Estimated 2018 Payments; the numbers in this
exhibit are subject to Reconciliation by June 30, 2017.
Document Dated 2-1-17 32
Estimated Licensing (EL) cost for each Service Year is calculated as follows:
EL = (L x .2 x Pop%) + (L x .8 x ALI)
Where:
“L” is the Budgeted Net Licensing Services Cost for the Service Year, which equals the
County’s Budgeted Total Allocable Costs for License Services in the Service Year less
Budgeted Total Non‐Licensing Revenue attributable to License Services (for example, pet
license late fees) in the Service Year . For purposes of determining the Pre‐Commitment
Estimated Payments for 2018, the Budgeted Net Licensing Cost is $686,512., calculated as
shown on Exhibit C‐3, and shall be similarly derived to determine the Final Estimated
Payments for 2018 and each Service Year.
“Pop%” is the Population of the City expressed as a percentage of the population of all
Contracting Parties.
“ALI” (Average Licenses Issued) is the number of active paid regular pet licenses (e.g.,
excluding ‘buddy licenses” or temporary licenses) issued to City residents during the
Calculation Period. For purposes of calculating the Estimated Payment for each Service
Year, the Calculation Period for “ALI” is the rolling annual average based on the most
recently completed three (3) calendar years actual usage. For example 2014‐2016 for 2018
Service Year.. Exhibit C‐2 shows a preliminary estimate of “ALI” to be used for
calculating the Pre‐Commitment Estimated 2018 Payments; the numbers in this Exhibit are
subject to reconciliation by June 30, 2017.

Exhibit C‐4
Calculation and Allocation of Transition Funding Credit (”TC”), and Shelter Credit
(“SC”)
A. Transition Funding Credit
The Transition Funding Credit as originally calculated in the 2010 Agreement offset costs
to certain Contracting Cities that would have otherwise paid the highest per capita costs
for Animal Services in 2010. The credit was scheduled on a declining basis over four years
(2010‐2013). In this Agreement, the Contracting Cities qualifying for this credit are listed
in Table 1 below; these cities will receive the credit at the level calculated for 2013 in the
2010 Agreement for each Service Year, provided that, application of the credit can never
result in the Estimated Payment Amount being less than zero ($0) (i.e., cannot result in the
County owing the City an Estimated Payment). The allocation of the Transition Funding
Credit is shown in Table 1 below.
Table 1: Transition Funding Credit – Annual Amount to be allocated each year
Jurisdiction Transition Funding
Credit
Carnation $552
North Bend $1,376
Kent $110,495
SeaTac $7,442
Tukwila $5,255
Black Diamond $1,209
Covington $5,070
Enumclaw $11,188
Maple Valley $6,027
Note: The Transitional Funding Credit is the same regardless of which cities sign the Agreement.
During Reconciliation, if a City receiving Transition Funding Credit is due a refund as a result of
more revenue being collected than was anticipated in the Final Estimated Payment Calculation for
the Service Year, the refund amount shall first be applied to reduce the Transition Funding Credit
and Shelter Credit until reduced to zero, upon which any excess shall be used to adjust the City’s
net final cost until the Net Final Cost is zero.
B. Shelter Credit
The Shelter Credit is designed to offset costs for those Contracting Cities whose per capita
average shelter intakes (“AA”) exceed the average for all Contracting Parties. During the
initial term of this Agreement, a total of $750,000 will be applied as a credit in each Service
Year to Contracting Cities whose per capita average shelter intakes (“AA”) exceeds the
average for all Contracting Parties; provided that application of the Shelter Credit can never
Document Dated 2-1-17 42
result in the Estimated Payment amount being less than zero ($0) (i.e., cannot result in the
County owing the City an Estimated Payment.) The Shelter Credit shall be calculated
annually as part of the Final Estimated Payment Calculation provided prior to the Service
year. The Shelter Credit shall be determined based on the City’s relative per capita three
(3) year average of animal intakes (“AA”) in excess of the three (3) year average for all
contracting parties for the same period. The County will consider providing the Shelter
Credit in the second term at the same level as for the initial term.
Table 3: Shelter Credit Allocation—2018
During Reconciliation, if a City receiving Shelter Funding Credit is due a refund as a result of more
revenue being collected than was anticipated in the Final Estimated Payment Calculation for the
Service Year, the refund amount shall first be applied to reduce the Transition Funding Credit and
Shelter Credit until reduced to zero, upon which any excess shall be used to adjust the City’s net
final cost until the Net Final Cost is zero.

Exhibit D
Reconciliation
The purpose of the reconciliation calculation is to adjust payments made each Service Year
by Contracting Parties to reflect actual licensing and non‐licensing revenue, and various
credits, as compared to the estimates of such revenues and credits incorporated in the
Estimated Payment calculations, and to adjust for population changes resulting from
annexations of areas with a population of over 2,500 (if any) and the addition of Latecomer
Cities. To accomplish this, an “Adjusted Net Final Cost” (“ANFC”) calculation is made
each June for each Contracting Party as described below, and then adjusted for various
factors as described in this Exhibit D.
As noted in Section 7 of the Agreement, the Parties intend that receipt of Animal Services
should not be a profit‐making enterprise. When a City receives revenues in excess of its
costs under this Agreement (including costs of PAWS or other animal service providers, if
applicable), such excess will be reinvested to reduce costs incurred by the County. The
cost allocation formulas of this Agreement are intended to achieve this outcome.
Terms not otherwise defined here have the meanings set forth in Exhibit C or the body of
the Agreement.
Calculation of ANFC and Reconciliation Adjustment Amount
The following formula will be used to calculate the Reconciliation Adjustment Amount,
which shall be payable by August 15. The factors in the formula are defined below. As
described in paragraphs A and B, the subscript “0” denotes the initial calculation;
subscript “1” denotes the final calculation.
ANFC0 =
Actual
Revenue
+
Transition
Credit

Shelter
Credit

AR TC SC CA OSC
ANFC0 = AR + TC + SC – CA – OSC
A. If ANFC0 ≥ 0, i.e., revenues and credits are greater than costs (adding the cost
factor “OSC” in the formula for Contracting Cities purchasing shelter services from
PAWS (or other animal service providers) and/or purchasing Enhanced Control
Services and/or Enhanced Licensing Support Services), then:
Document Dated 2-1-17 49
ANFC1 = 0, i.e., it is reset to zero and the difference between ANFC0 and ANFC1 is
set aside by the County (or, if the revenues are not in the possession of the County,
then the gap amount is payable by the City to the County by August 15) and all
such excess amounts from all Contracting Parties where ANFC0 ≥ 0 are allocated
to the County to offset costs incurred by the County that are not included in the
cost allocation model (excluding unincorporated area only costs). Contracting
Parties for which ANFC0 ≥ 0 do not receive a reconciliation payment.
B. If ANFC0 < 0, i.e., costs are greater than revenues (without considering “W” for those
Contracting Cities purchasing shelter services from PAWS,(or other animal service
providers) Enhanced Control Services, and/or Enhanced Licensing Support
Services), then the negative dollar amount is not “reset” and ANFC1 is the same as
ANFC0.
C. If, ANFC1 < Total Estimated Payments made in the Service Year, then the
difference shall be paid by the County to the City no later than August 15, except
that if a City is receiving a Transition Credit and/or a Shelter Credit, the difference
shall be used to offset the Credit (s) until the Credit (s) are reduced to zero, at which
point the remaining difference shall be paid by the County to the City; if ANFC1 >
Total Estimated Payments made in the Service Year, then the difference shall be
paid by the City to the County no later than August 15.
Where:
“AR” is Actual Licensing Revenue, less refunds and rebates, attributable to the City,
based on actual Licensing Revenues received from residents of the City in the Service Year.
(License Revenue that cannot be attributed to a specific Party (e.g., License Revenue
associated with incomplete address information), will be allocated amongst the Parties
based on their respective percentages of total AR).
“TC” is the Transition Funding Credit, if any, for the Service Year.
“SC” is the Shelter Credit, if any, for the Service Year.
“OSC” Other Services Charge is the actual amount paid by a City receiving shelter
services to PAWS (or other animal service providers) for such services during the Service
Year, if any, plus the actual amount paid or owed by a City to the County for the purchase
of Enhanced Control Services and/or Enhanced Licensing Support Services, during the
Service Year, if any.
Document Dated 2-1-17 50
“CA” is the “Cost Allocation” as estimated for the Service Year for the provision of Animal
Services allocated between all the Contracting Parties for the purposes of determining the
Estimated Payment. The Cost Allocation is the sum of Estimated Control (EC) costs,
Estimated Shelter (ES) costs, and Estimated Licensing (EL) costs calculated as described in
Exhibit C.
Document Dated 2-1-17 51
Exhibit E
Enhanced Control Services Contract (Optional)
Between City of _________________ (“City”) and King County (“County”)
The County will offer Enhanced Control Services to the City during the term of the Animal
Services Interlocal Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions as described herein.
The provisions of this Contract are optional to both Parties and shall not be effective
unless executed by both Parties.
A. The City may request services under two different options, summarized here and
described in further detail below:
Option 1: for a period of not less than one year, the City may request service from
an Animal Control Officer dedicated to the City (“Dedicated Officer”). Such service
must be confirmed in writing through both Parties entering into this Enhanced
Control Services Contract no later than August 15, unless waived by the County, of
the year prior to the Service Year in which the service is requested.
Option 2: for a period of less than one year, the City may request a specified
number of over‐time service hours on specified days and time. Unlike Option 1, the
individual officers providing the service will be determined by the County and may
vary from time to time; the term “Dedicated Officer” used in the context of Option 2
is thus different than its meaning with respect to Option 1. Option 2 service must
be requested no later than 60 days prior to the commencement of the period in
which the service is requested, unless waived by the County.
The City shall initiate a request for enhanced service by completing and submitting
Attachment A to the County. If the County determines it is able to provide the
requested service, it will so confirm by completing and countersigning Attachment A
and signing this Contract and returning both to the City for final execution.
B. The County will provide enhanced Control Services to the City in the form of an
Animal Control Officer dedicated to the City (“Dedicated Officer”) as described in
Attachment A and this Contract.
1. Costs identified in Attachment A for Option 1 are for one (1) year of service
beginning in 2018. Costs will be based on the budgeted annual cost for the
service year for which the service is provided, and shall include the cost of the
employee (salary, benefits), equipment (which shall not exceed 3,000 annually)
Document Dated 2-1-17 52
and animal control vehicle for the employee’s use). Costs are subject to
adjustment each year.
2. Costs for Option 2 will be determined by the County each year based on its
actual hourly overtime pay for the individual Animal Control Officers providing
the service, plus mileage at the federal reimbursement rate. The number of
miles for which mileage is charged shall be miles which would not have been
traveled but for the provision of the enhanced service.
3. Costs paid for enhanced services will be included in the Reconciliation
calculation for each Service Year, as described in Exhibit D of the Agreement
(see “Other Service Charges”).
C. Services of the Dedicated Officer shall be in addition to the Animal Services otherwise
provided to the City by the County through the Agreement. Accordingly, the calls
responded to by the Dedicated Officer shall not be incorporated in the calculation of
the City’s Calls for Service (as further described in Exhibit C and D to the Agreement).
D. The scheduling of work by the Dedicated Officer will be determined by mutual
agreement of the contract administrators identified in the Agreement, and (in the case
of a purchase of service under Option 1) the mutual agreement of officials of other
Contracting Cities named as contract administrators that have committed to sharing in
the expense of the Dedicated Officer. In the event the parties are unable to agree on
scheduling, the County shall have the right to finally determine the schedule of the
Dedicated Officer(s).
E. Control Services to be provided to the City pursuant to this Enhanced Services
Contract include Control Services of the type and nature as described under the
Agreement with respect to Animal Control Officers serving in Control Districts, and
include but are not limited to, issuing written warnings, citations and other
enforcement notices and orders on behalf of the City, or such other services as the
Parties may reasonably agree.
F. The County will provide the City with a general periodic calendar of scheduled service
in the City, and a monthly report of the types of services offered and performed.
G. For Services purchased under Option 1: An FTE will be scheduled to serve 40 hour
weeks, however, with loss of service hours potentially attributable to vacation, sick
leave, training and furlough days, not less than 1600 hours per year will be provided.
Similarly, a half‐time FTE will provide not less than 800 hours per year. The County
shall submit to the City an invoice and billing voucher at the end of each calendar
quarter, excepting that during the 4th quarter of each year during the term of this
Document Dated 2-1-17 53
Contract, an invoice shall be submitted to the City no later than December 15th. All
invoiced amounts shall be payable by the City within 30 days of the invoice date.
Alternatively, the City (s) and the County may agree to include the cost of the
Enhanced Services into the Reconciliation process. Either way, if the costs are paid
during the Service Year, they shall be credited as part of Reconciliation.
H. For Services purchased under Option 2: The County shall submit to the City an
invoice and billing voucher at the end of each calendar quarter. All invoiced amounts
shall be payable by the City within 30 days of the invoice date. Alternatively, the City
(s) and the County may agree to include the cost of the Enhanced Services into the
Reconciliation process. Either way, if the cost are paid during the Service Year, they
shall be credited as part of Reconciliation.
I. The City or County may terminate this Enhanced Services Contract with or without
cause upon providing not less than 3 months written notice to the other Party;
provided that, if the City has purchased services under Option 1 and is sharing the
Enhanced Control Services with other Contracting Cities, this Contract may only be
terminated by the City if: (1) all such other Contracting Cities similarly agree to
terminate service on such date, or (2) if prior to such termination date another
Contracting City or Cities enters into a contract with the County to purchase the
Enhanced Control Service that the City wishes to terminate; provided further: except as
provided in Paragraph A. Option 1, a Contract may not be terminated if the term of
service resulting is less than one year.
J. All terms of the Agreement, except as expressly stated otherwise in this Exhibit, shall
apply to this Enhanced Control Services Contract. Capitalized Terms not defined
herein have those meanings as set forth in the Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties hereto have caused this Enhanced Services Contract
to be executed effective as of this ____ day of _______, 201__.

equal at least 50% of an FTE will be charged at the rate in Column 1 below.
City requests that alone or in combination with other requests for Enhanced Control
Services equal 100% of an FTE will be charged at the rate in Column 2 below.
Cities may propose a different allocation approach for County consideration.
An FTE will be scheduled to serve 40 hour weeks, however, with loss of hours potentially
attributable to vacation, sick leave, training and furlough days, a minimum of 1600 hours
per year will be provided. A half‐time FTE will provide a minimum of 800 hours per year.
For example, a commitment to purchase 20% of an FTE for enhanced service will result in
provision of not less than 320 hours per year.
Hours of service lost for vacation, sick leave, training and furlough days will be allocated
on pro rata basis between all Contracting Cities sharing the services of that FTE.
Option 1 ‐ Example 1:
Aggregate of 50% of an FTE Requested by
all Participating Cities
Option1 ‐ Example 2:
Aggregate of 1 FTE Requested by all
Participating Cities
Cost to City: (% of Half‐Time FTE
requested) x $69,182/year in 2018
Example: if City A requests 25% of an
FTE ** and City B requests 25% of an
FTE**, then each city would pay $17,295for
Enhanced Control Services from July 1,
2018 through December 31, 2018 (6
months).
**(50% of a Half‐Time FTE)
Cost to City: ( % of FTE requested) x
118,152/year in 2018*
Example: If City A requests 25% of an FTE
and City B requests 25% of an FTE and
City C requests 50% of an FTE, Cities A
and B would pay $14,769and City C would
pay $29,538 for Enhanced Control Services
from July 1, 2018 through December 31,
2018 (6 months)
* This example is based on 2018 budgeted costs. Costs will be based on actual Service Year
budgeted costs.

SUBJECT: Contract with COWI for Milwaukee II Levee – Authorize
SUMMARY: The City executed an Interlocal Agreement (ILA) with the King County
Flood Control District to provide funding for an analysis of alternatives, development
of design plans and specifications, and property acquisition related to the Milwaukee II
Levee along the Green River in Kent. This ILA sets forth the requirements for a study
of alternative flood protection facilities and alignments, such as an earthen
embankment levee or a flood wall levee. The study will consider impacts to recreation,
habitat, South 259th Street, and other features to ultimately guide the project team to
a preferred alternative for full design and construction.
The Milwaukee II Levee is located between the Horseshoe Bend Levee (accredited by
FEMA in 2015), and the Foster Park Levee which was constructed in 2008.
Construction of the Milwaukee II Levee with connection to these adjacent levee
reaches will reduce flood risk from the Green River for businesses and residential
properties in this area, and allow for levee accreditation for the section and sections
further downstream.

Mill Creek Reestablishment Project
SEPA Environmental Impact Statement
Scope of Work
INTRODUCTION
This scope of work outlines the tasks to be completed by ICF Jones & Stokes, Inc. (ICF) in preparation of the
State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Draft and Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the City
of Kent (CITY) Mill Creek Reestablishment Project (project). ICF has followed guidance for the approach
and content of a SEPA EIS provided by:
SEPA policies and procedures, as set forth in the State of Washington Administrative Code (WAC)
197-11-960.
City of Kent SEPA policies and procedures as set forth in Kent Municipal Code 11.03.
Currently, flows in Mill Creek result in seasonal flooding within the City of Kent along the Mill Creek
channel between South 267th Street at the upstream end and South 204th Street at the downstream end (study
area) due to substantial sediment deposition within the stream channel. It is anticipated that the Mill Creek
Reestablishment Project EIS would evaluate alternative methods, locations, and schedule for managing
sediment deposition in the portion of the stream channel within the study area.
The CITY has selected ICF Jones & Stokes, Inc. (ICF) as consultant to manage and prepare environmental
documentation for the Mill Creek Reestablishment Project. This scope of work sets forth the approach for the
management/administration of the project, alternatives analysis, public scoping/involvement support,
technical analysis for the development of the Draft EIS, public review of the Draft EIS, response to public
comments on the Draft EIS, and preparation of the Final EIS based on the information available to ICF at the
time of scope preparation.
TASK 1 – PROJECT MANAGEMENT
TASK 1.1 – Project Management and Coordination
Consistent with CITY requirements, ICF shall prepare monthly progress reports identifying work completed
during the invoicing period, invoicing period hours, period labor costs, period direct expenses, status of
Tasks, and, if Tasks are behind schedule and/or over budget, how the ICF shall address these issues and bring
them back into compliance with the contract. The progress reports will also identify any outstanding issues or
foreseeable issues that are of concern.
The ICF project manager, deputy project manager, project director, and financial administrative assistant will
be responsible for administering the contract, scheduling resources, handling team communication (both
internally and with the CITY), responding to requests for information, preparing invoices, tracking budget,
and related project management and administrative tasks.

Tribe’s request for a robust alternatives analysis as part of the SEPA EIS. Prior to the start of Task 2, written
notice to proceed from the City shall be obtained by ICF.
TASK 2.1 – DEVELOP PROJECT OBJECTIVES AND REASONABLE RANGE OF
ALTERNATIVES
ICF will finalize the project objectives and reasonable range of alternatives based on the outcome of Task 1.2
and input from the CITY. ICF will work with the CITY to develop three project alternatives that represent a
reasonable range of action alternatives that would be consistent with the project objectives. The alternatives
will be limited in area to the existing right-of-way along Mill Creek and other properties that are owned by the
CITY, or that the CITY may be considering purchasing in support of the project within the study area, either
for mitigation or to provide other project related elements (i.e., sediment traps, increased stormwater storage).
In general the study area to be considered in developing the reasonable range of alternatives will include an
area along the Mill Creek channel between South 267th Street at the upstream end and South 204th Street at the
downstream end.
SCOPE OF WORK (CONTINUED)
Mill Creek Reestablishment Project EIS, City of Kent February 1, 2017
Scope of Work Page 5
Each alternative will only be developed to a conceptual level of detail, intended for discussion purposes with
the CITY. The level of detail will provide a general description of each alternative and how each alternative
would achieve the project objectives. Figures showing possible locations for specific elements/features of
each alternative will be included to assist the written description. The level of detail will include typical
design sketches and figures for elements/features of each alternative (e.g., typical configurations of sediment
traps, floodplain benches, and possible erosion control measures). ICF will provide the CITY with written
descriptions and figures depicting Draft Conceptual Alternatives. The CITY will provide ICF with
consolidated comments on the Draft Conceptual Alternatives which ICF will address and to prepare for
discussion with the Agencies/Tribe (Task 2.2).
ICF will coordinate with the CITY to develop the No Action Alternative. Under SEPA the No Action
Alternative is defined as what would be most likely to happen if the proposal did not occur. The CITY will
provide ICF with some of the elements that should be considered as part of the No Action Alternative.
Deliverables
Draft Objectives and Conceptual Alternatives Summary for discussion with Agencies/Tribes (Task
2.2) (electronic copy)
Assumptions
The CITY will provide ICF with construction related information associated with the Draft
Conceptual Alternatives developed by ICF, such as construction sequencing, construction access,
construction equipment types/quantities needed for construction, fish exclusion/removal techniques,
dewatering techniques (if necessary), water quality control, transport and disposal of dredged
materials, and possible mitigation options for unavoidable impacts.
The CITY will provide consolidated comments on the Draft Summary. Conflicting comments will be
resolved by the CITY prior to submitting comments to ICF
It is assumed that the three Action Alternatives will consider other actions that may achieve the
Project Objectives in addition to dredging the channel. These actions could include the use of
sediment traps within Mill Creek, up to complex channel cross sections that may include “floodplain
benches” and off-channel habitat features to provide increased storage capacity and habitat
complexity within the system.
ICF will develop up to three Draft Conceptual Alternatives consistent with the project objectives, plus
the No Action Alternative; one round of consolidated CITY comments.
The No Action Alternative will include a description of what would be reasonably expected to occur
if the proposed project did not occur. The CITY will help ICF frame this alternative and provide
reasonable considerations that must be defensible.
The ICF project manager, deputy project manager, wetland biologist and hydraulic engineer will be
available for one in-person meeting of up to four hours to discuss and draft the Draft Conceptual
Alternatives with the CITY
TASK 2.2 – COORDINATE WITH AGENCIES/TRIBE ON ALTERNATIVES
Once the Final Conceptual Alternatives have been developed, ICF will support the CITY during coordination
with the Agencies and Tribe. It is expected that an in-person meeting will be needed with the Agencies and
Tribe to discuss the Final Conceptual Alternatives and how each alternative would meet the project
objectives.

emphasis on comments from the Agencies/Tribe on the Final Conceptual Alternatives. This feedback
will be used to revise the conceptual alternatives in Task 2.3, below
TASK 2.3 – REVISE AND FINALIZE ALTERNATIVES BASED ON AGENCY/TRIBE FEEDBACK
The Final Meeting Summary (Task 2.2 Deliverable, above) will outline the feedback received from the
Agencies and Tribe and the revisions/updates the Agencies and Tribe would like to see incorporated into the
Draft Project Objectives and Conceptual Alternatives. The CITY will provide ICF direction regarding which
revisions/updates to the project objectives and alternatives ICF is to carry forward and address under this task.
ICF will work to revise the Final Project Objectives and Conceptual Alternatives Summary based on
Agency/Tribe feedback and direction from the CITY. The CITY and ICF will work together to present the
rationale outlining reasons feedback received from the Agencies/Tribe cannot be addressed or incorporated
into the Final Project Objectives and/or Conceptual Alternatives.
The Final Project Objectives and Conceptual Alternatives will be carried forward for consideration within the
Draft and Final EIS

Engineer. The Agencies/Tribe will not request any new or additional alternative concepts beyond
those previously considered within the Draft Alternative Concepts
The CITY will initiate and lead the coordination effort with the Agencies and Tribe. ICF will provide
support during in-person meetings with the Agencies and Tribe
TASK 2.4 – EVALUATE ALTERNATIVES
Each Alternative, once revised to address Agencies/Tribe comments, will be evaluated relative to the Final
Project Objectives and additional screening criteria, which will include the following considerations that are
consistent with the 404(b)(1) guidance, and will meet the robust evaluation of alternatives required by the
Corps for their internal process:
Cost (cost will include justification related to any cap on overall project cost)
Logistics (e.g., ability to schedule, stage, access site, and conduct necessary sequence of activities to
complete the action)
Technologies (consideration of feasible technologies that could also meet project objectives)
Environmental Impact, including wetland/stream and wetland/stream buffer impacts
The evaluation of the alternatives relative to these criteria will be limited to the following elements:
hydrologic and hydraulic analysis, quantitative comparison of wetland/buffer impacts, channel and
streambank erosion within the canyon downstream of South/Southeast 267th Street, sediment transport, and
qualitative evaluation of potential impacts and improvements to fish habitat. These elements will later be
considered as part of the SEPA elements required in the EIS as part of Task 4.3, below.
The evaluation of alternatives will be consistent with the Internal Analysis Guidance document provided by
the Army Corps of Engineers to the CITY.
This task will allow ICF to complete an initial evaluation of the Final Conceptual Alternatives, or the Robust
Alternatives Analysis requested by the CITY, in a meaningful way that can be carried forward in the SEPA
EIS, Task 4.

this Agreement.
VI. CHANGES. The City may issue a written amendment for any change in the goods, materials
or services to be provided during the performance of this Agreement. If the Vendor determines, for any
reason, that an amendment is necessary, Vendor must submit a written amendment request to the person
listed in the notice provision section of this Agreement, section XIV(D), within fourteen (14) calendar days
of the date Vendor knew or should have known of the facts and events giving rise to the requested
change. If the City determines that the change increases or decreases the Vendor's costs or time for
performance, the City will make an equitable adjustment. The City will attempt, in good faith, to reach
GOODS & SERVICES AGREEMENT - 3
(Over $20,000, including WSST)
agreement with the Vendor on all equitable adjustments. However, if the parties are unable to agree, the
City will determine the equitable adjustment as it deems appropriate. The Vendor shall proceed with the
amended work upon receiving either a written amendment from the City or an oral order from the City
before actually receiving the written amendment. If the Vendor fails to require an amendment within the
time allowed, the Vendor waives its right to make any claim or submit subsequent amendment requests
for that portion of the contract work. If the Vendor disagrees with the equitable adjustment, the Vendor
must complete the amended work; however, the Vendor may elect to protest the adjustment as provided
in subsections A through E of Section VII, Claims, below.
The Vendor accepts all requirements of an amendment by: (1) endorsing it, (2) writing a separate
acceptance, or (3) not protesting in the way this section provides. An amendment that is accepted by
Vendor as provided in this section shall constitute full payment and final settlement of all claims for
contract time and for direct, indirect and consequential costs, including costs of delays related to any
work, either covered or affected by the change.
VII. CLAIMS. If the Vendor disagrees with anything required by an amendment, another
written order, or an oral order from the City, including any direction, instruction, interpretation, or
determination by the City, the Vendor may file a claim as provided in this section. The Vendor shall give
written notice to the City of all claims within fourteen (14) calendar days of the occurrence of the events
giving rise to the claims, or within fourteen (14) calendar days of the date the Vendor knew or should
have known of the facts or events giving rise to the claim, whichever occurs first . Any claim for
damages, additional payment for any reason, or extension of time, whether under this Agreement or
otherwise, shall be conclusively deemed to have been waived by the Vendor unless a timely written claim
is made in strict accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement.
At a minimum, a Vendor's written claim shall include the information set forth in subsections A,
items 1 through 5 below.
FAILURE TO PROVIDE A COMPLETE, WRITTEN NOTIFICATION OF CLAIM WITHIN
THE TIME ALLOWED SHALL BE AN ABSOLUTE WAIVER OF ANY CLAIMS ARISING IN
ANY WAY FROM THE FACTS OR EVENTS SURROUNDING THAT CLAIM OR CAUSED
BY THAT DELAY.
A. Notice of Claim. Provide a signed written notice of claim that provides the following
information:
1. The date of the Vendor's claim;
2. The nature and circumstances that caused the claim;
3. The provisions in this Agreement that support the claim;
4. The estimated dollar cost, if any, of the claimed work and how that estimate
was determined; and
5. An analysis of the progress schedule showing the schedule change or
disruption if the Vendor is asserting a schedule change or disruption.
B. Records. The Vendor shall keep complete records of extra costs and time incurred as a
result of the asserted events giving rise to the claim. The City shall have access to any of
the Vendor's records needed for evaluating the protest.
The City will evaluate all claims, provided the procedures in this section are followed. If the
City determines that a claim is valid, the City will adjust payment for work or time by an
equitable adjustment. No adjustment will be made for an invalid protest.
C. Vendor's Duty to Complete Protested Work. In spite of any claim, the Vendor shall proceed
promptly to provide the goods, materials and services required by the City under this
Agreement.
GOODS & SERVICES AGREEMENT - 4
(Over $20,000, including WSST)
D. Failure to Protest Constitutes Waiver. By not protesting as this section provides, the Vendor
also waives any additional entitlement and accepts from the City any written or oral order
(including directions, instructions, interpretations, and determination).
E. Failure to Follow Procedures Constitutes Waiver. By failing to follow the procedures of this
section, the Vendor completely waives any claims for protested work and accepts from the
City any written or oral order (including directions, instructions, interpretations, and
determination).
VIII. LIMITATION OF ACTIONS. VENDOR MUST, IN ANY EVENT, FILE ANY LAWSUIT ARISING
FROM OR CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT WITHIN 120 CALENDAR DAYS FROM THE DATE THE

THIS SECTION FURTHER LIMITS ANY APPLICABLE STATUTORY LIMITATIONS PERIOD.
IX. WARRANTY. Vendor warrants that it will faithfully and satisfactorily perform all work
provided under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. In addition to any
other warranty provided for at law or herein, this Agreement is additionally subject to all warranty
provisions established under the Uniform Commercial Code, Title 62A, Revised Code of Washington.

that portion of the work shall extend for an additional year beyond the original warranty period applicable
to the overall work. The Vendor shall begin to correct any defects within seven (7) calendar days of its
receipt of notice from the City of the defect. If the Vendor does not accomplish the corrections within a
reasonable time as determined by the City, the City may complete the corrections and the Vendor shall
pay all costs incurred by the City in order to accomplish the correction.
X. DISCRIMINATION. In the hiring of employees for the performance of work under this
Agreement or any sub-contract, the Vendor, its sub-contractors, or any person acting on behalf of the

is qualified and available to perform the work to which the employment relates.
Vendor shall execute the attached City of Kent Equal Employment Opportunity Policy Declaration,
Comply with City Administrative Policy 1.2, and upon completion of the contract work, file the attached
Compliance Statement.
XI. INDEMNIFICATION. Vendor shall defend, indemnify and hold the City, its officers,
officials, employees, agents and volunteers harmless from any and all claims, injuries, damages, losses or
suits, including all legal costs and attorney fees, arising out of or in connection with the Vendor's
performance of this Agreement, except for that portion of the injuries and damages caused by the City's
negligence.
The City's inspection or acceptance of any of Vendor's work when completed shall not be grounds
to avoid any of these covenants of indemnification.
IT IS FURTHER SPECIFICALLY AND EXPRESSLY UNDERSTOOD THAT THE INDEMNIFICATION
PROVIDED HEREIN CONSTITUTES THE VENDOR'S WAIVER OF IMMUNITY UNDER INDUSTRIAL
INSURANCE, TITLE 51 RCW, SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS INDEMNIFICATION. THE PARTIES
FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE MUTUALLY NEGOTIATED THIS WAIVER.
In the event Vendor refuses tender of defense in any suit or any claim, if that tender was made
pursuant to this indemnification clause, and if that refusal is subsequently determined by a court having
jurisdiction (or other agreed tribunal) to have been a wrongful refusal on the Vendor’s part, then Vendor
shall pay all the City’s costs for defense, including all reasonable expert witness fees and reasonable
GOODS & SERVICES AGREEMENT - 5

homelessness include: affordable housing availability, substance abuse, and mental
health issues. The survey also continues to demonstrate that homelessness affects
Black/African Americans, Latinos/Hispanics, Native Americans and the LGBTQ
community disproportionately. Over 50% of those surveyed have lived in Seattle five
years are more. Those not originally from Seattle frequently came for the support of
family and friends or for a job opportunity. Needs Assessment Survey Fact Sheet:
