PROCLAMATION
We celebrate Veterans Day as a time to pause and reflect on the sacrifices of
all of those who have served in the United States military. Let us honor our
veterans, who proved their heroism and love of country to protect the
freedoms we enjoy as Americans; and
since the establishment of the original 13 states, Americans have been willing
to fight and die to preserve their individual rights as guaranteed in the United
State Constitution and the Bill of Rights; and
we owe a great debt to those who have served in the defense of this nation.
They consistently defended our ideals across the globe; and they continue to
inspire those who defend America today,'half a world away; and
as we reflect on the great sacrifice and efforts of our veterans we must never
forget that freedom comes at a cost. More than a million have died in service
to America; and more than a million have been wounded. For many others,
that sacrifice has ended in permanent injury, yet their spirit remains in the
continued preservation of our freedoms and the promise of liberty for all; and
in honor of these dedicated men and women, we pledge our continued
defense of our nation so that their sacrifice will stand before the entire world
as a tribute to the spirit and determination of people dedicated to the
principles of freedom and democracy.
NOW, THEREFORE, l, Suzette Cooke, Mayor of the City of Kent, do hereby proclaim
November 11,2017 as
"Veterans' Day of Remembrance"
and urge all citizens to honor our veterans and rededicate themselves to the.preservation of
our liberties under the Constitution.

The Honorable Elaine L. Chao, Secretary

RE: Letter of Support for the WSDOT INFRA Grant Application
Dear Secretary Chao:
I am writing to express my support for the Washington State Department of Transportation's
(WSDOT) 2017 INFRA grant application for the Puget Sound Gateway Program.
The Puget Sound Gateway Program completes the long-planned State Route 167 and 509
corridors, two critical connections on the nation’s freight transportation system serving a major
North American gateway for international trade. The new portions of SR 509 and SR 167 will
reduce congestion, increase mobility between manufacturing/industrial centers, and allow for
faster and more efficient freight movement to and from the ports of Seattle and Tacoma. The
extension of SR 509 will also help create a new southern access to the Seattle-Tacoma (Sea-
Tac) International Airport for both passenger and air cargo.
Puget Sound’s economy is critically dependent on the efficient movement of freight on its
roadways. Operating jointly as the Northwest Seaport Alliance, the ports of Seattle and Tacoma
are the fourth largest container gateway in North America, responsible for 48,000 jobs and
more than $4 billion in economic activity. The nearby cities of Kent, Sumner and Puyallup are
home to the second-largest distribution center complexes on the West Coast and the fourth-
largest in the country. Sea-Tac International Airport is the fastest growing airport in the United
States and the third largest airport for international trade on the West Coast, exporting 62,375
Metric Tons of US-made cargo a year.
Kent has been preparing for the Gateway projects by securing over $80 million through local
investments and grants for the construction of the corridor that will link the 509 project to the
manufacturing and warehousing district in the Kent Valley. The last phase of this project began
in the summer of 2016. Completing the 509 and 167 projects is essential for our region, state
and nation to remain competitive with other nations on the Pacific Rim.
Sincerely,
Bill Boyce,
Council President

SUBJECT: Quiet Zone Union Pacific Railroad Agreement - Authorize
SUMMARY: Establishment of a Quiet Zone on the Union Pacific Railroad tracks
requires channelization work to be completed by the City on streets approaching the
tracks. Union Pacific must make improvements to its signal equipment including the
installation of a new railroad signal cabinet with constant warning detection and new
cables to all signals. Constant warning detection adjusts crossing signals to the speed
of the oncoming train to give the same amount of warning at crossings regardless of
whether or not the train is moving slowly or very rapidly.
Only the Union Pacific Railroad is able to complete the signalization work within the
railroad right-of-way. The Union Pacific Railroad agreements will require the local
jurisdictions to reimburse 100% of actual costs. The amount of the agreement is an
estimate and the City will be responsible if any costs exceed the estimate.
EXHIBITS: Authorization for Crossing Improvements – Union Pacific Railroad
RECOMMENDED BY: Public Works Committee
YEA: Fincher, Higgins, Ralph NAY:
Budget Impact: The authorized budget for the Quiet Zone currently is $450,000 of
which approximately $100,000 has been spent on the consultant and in-house
engineering work to date. An additional $300,000 is included in the 2018 budget.
The approximate $280,000 can be accomplished within this current budget balance.
MOTION: Authorize the Mayor to sign the Authorization for Crossing
Improvements Agreement with the Union Pacific Railroad, subject to final
terms and conditions acceptable to the City Attorney and the Public Works
Director.

SUBJECT: Briscoe Desimone Levee Improvements Reach 2 and 3 - Accept as
Complete
SUMMARY: This project consisted of the construction of a secondary levee floodwall
landward of the Briscoe Levee adjacent to the Green River between South 188th Street
and South 194th Street. The project also included excavation of 5,436 cubic yards of
soil on the riverside of the levee to construct a vegetated bench, landscaping and
asphalt pavement for levee trail and parking lot reconstruction and two cement
retaining walls.
The Briscoe-Desimone Levee is located along the east side of the Green River between
South 180th Street and South 200th Street. The levee straddles the border between
Kent and Tukwila providing flood protection for the Cities of Kent, Tukwila and Renton.
Levee certification studies conducted in 2010 indicated that four areas of this levee
require improvements to meet federal levee safety standards. Reaches 2 and 3 of this
levee are located between South 189th Street and South 194th Street.
In 2011, the City and the King County Flood Control District (KCFCD), were successful
in obtaining a $7 million grant from the Washington State Legislature to fund
reconstruction of the Briscoe-Desimone Levee. In June 2013 the City entered into an
Interlocal Agreement with the KCFCD which allocated an additional $11 million of
District funds and assigned responsibility for design and construction of the project to
the City of Kent.
The original contract amount was $6,709,555.56. The final contract amount came in
at $6,865,122.83.
EXHIBITS: None
RECOMMENDED BY: Public Works Director
BUDGET IMPACTS: This contract will be funded out of the $18 million which was
allocated to the Briscoe-Desimone Levee project through an Interlocal Agreement with
the King County Flood Control District.
MOTION: Authorize the Mayor to accept the Briscoe Desimone Levee
Improvements Reach 2 and 3 project as complete and release retainage to
Tapani, Inc., upon receipt of standard releases from the state and the
release of any liens.

OFFICE OF THE MAYOR
Derek Matheson, Chief Administrative Officer
Phone: 253-856-5700
Fax: 253-856-6700
Address: 220 Fourth Avenue S.
Kent, WA. 98032-5895
DATE: 11/07/17
TO: Mayor Cooke
Councilmembers
FROM: Derek Matheson, Chief Administrative Officer
SUBJECT: CAO Report for Tuesday, November 07, 2017
The Chief Administrative Officer’s report is intended to provide Council, staff and
community an update on the activities of the City of Kent.
ADMINISTRATION
• There are only two more workshops before the budget heads to the Operations
Committee on Tuesday, December 5: a special workshop on Tuesday, November 14,
and a regular workshop on Tuesday, November 21. The big issues seem to be property
tax and, to a lesser extent, quiet zone funding. (The square footage tax is on its own
track through the Operations Committee in November and council in November-
December. The council will take up the proposed police & criminal justice levy early
next year.)
• The YMCA / Morrill Meadows Park / East Hill Park project has really begun to move
quickly after the city council’s special workshop in mid-October. Staff is striving to bring
the necessary purchase-and-sale, lease/leaseback, and operating agreements through
the Operations Committee and council on December 5 and 12, respectively. We’ll know
soon whether that goal is realistic.
• The CAO and council administrative assistant have begun working on the new mayor
and council orientation session, scheduled for Tuesday, December 19, at 4 p.m.
Communications
• We’ve purchased ad space for a full-page ad in an early November edition of the
Puget Sound Business Journal that highlights South King County growth. Our
advertorial talks specifically about Kent’s transformation as an urban center, drawing
interest from around the region. This is an exciting opportunity to show that Kent is
an exciting place to live and work and that developers like FNW are setting a high
bar for others to meet or surpass.
• KING5 is doing a feature on Kent that is expected to air on November 6. Although
they have their own ideas, from a strategic standpoint, we opted to tell them about
the same types of development as featured in the Puget Sound Business Journal, as
well as Kent Station, accesso ShoWare Center and the Seattle Thunderbirds, all of
which are attracting people to our city.
Page 2 of 16
• Neighborhood Program
o Kent’s Neighborhood Program and Public Works Transportation staff will meet with
Shadowbrook Ridge and Fern Crest West neighborhoods on Wednesday, November
15 at 6:30p.m. at Sunrise Elementary. Staff will address the neighborhood concerns
about vehicles parked on both sides of the streets and propose parking restrictions
within the neighborhood.
Community Engagement
• The Community Engagement coordinator Uriel is currently working with King County
Metro on the final draft of the Community Connections Public involvement plan. Uriel
will be sending Metro a list of Stakeholder Work Group contacts, which will include
community-based organizations, local businesses and community leaders.
• Uriel is currently working with Communications Consultant Dana Neuts on
streamlining the City’s social media content. Hootsuite, a social media management
platform, will be used to refine our existing processes and to plan future editorial
content that will be consistent with our branding and promote a regular presence on
social media.
ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Long Range Planning Services
• Staff presented at a Land Use and Planning Board public hearing regarding safe
injection sites. The hearing included a pro-con forum, during which advocates on
each side of the issue had 15-minutes to discuss their positions and provide
documentation. The Land Use and Planning Board recommended to City Council to
adopt “alternative B”, which permanently adopts language prohibiting safe injection
sites in Kent. The board also emphasized the need for the city to do something more
to support people who are experiencing drug and opiate addiction. ECDC will discuss
the topic and make their recommendation to Council on November 13 and council
action in December.
• Staff attended a Housing Law Seminar hosted by The Seminar Group in
Seattle. Major topics were the homelessness and affordability crises, and strategies
for providing a variety of housing types and rental/ownership structures that meet all
types of needs.
• Staff attended the regional Planning Directors Meeting and received information
about what is needed from cities for the upcoming King County Buildable Lands
study, next steps in the Local Update of Census Address (LUCA) program. Staff also
learned about findings of the Regional Open Space Strategy (ROSS) and the King
County Conservation Priorities project.
• Staff continues work on the Urban Separators project and will be presenting an
updated Inventory and Characterization report to the Land Use and Planning Board
November 13..
• Staff participated in the Transportation Alternatives Program grant committee at
PSRC. This work helps Kent have a role in regional transportation funding decisions,
as well as gives staff behind the scenes information as to how grant funding
decisions are made. Staff looked forward to sitting down with PSRC early in 2018 to
get feedback on our TAP grant application, which was not selected for
recommendation of funding.
• Staff met with King County Parks regarding the Mobility Connections program that
may be a potential funding source for bicycle connectivity through Kent’s downtown.
Working closely with the Public Works Department, staff look forward to convening a
large working group in January to brainstorm how various regional agency partners
can contribute to a safe and welcoming downtown for non-motorized users.

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
Staff Emergency Preparedness
• Grant funds have been used to purchase 72-hour Go Kits for all City
Staff. Emergency Management has been going out to individual departments to
deliver kits along with a presentation on personal preparedness. If you do not have
kits yet please contact Emergency Management.
• On 10-19 at 10:19am the City of Kent and the Puget Sound Regional Fire Authority
participated in the Statewide Annual Sound-shake Drill. Emergency Management
gathered RCA’s (Resource Capabilities Assessment) from all DOC’s. RCA’s would be
used in a real event to gain situational awareness after an event has happened.
Grants
• A grant was applied for and a contract received for the Emergency Management
Performance Grant (EMPG) for 2017 in the amount of almost $71,000. This is an
annual grant from Homeland Security that is passed through Washington State
Emergency Management which assists Emergency Management Programs in
preparing for all hazards through sustainment and enhancement.
• The department was awarded about $11,000.00 worth of Automatic External
Defibrillators (AED’), supplies, and training materials from project RAMPART.
Rampart is a King County program aimed at increasing training and assess to
AEDs. Our award includes 5 new AEDs for patrol cars and replacement batteries and
pads for KPD, an AED for Parks to be used at Lake Meridian, and manikins to be used
by Puget Sound Fire to teach CPR to staff and citizens. The Lake Meridian AED is a
unique plan in that it allowed the one that had been temporarily moved from the
Kent Commons to the Lake to stay at the Commons. The new one will be moved
from the Lake after the summer season and be used by Kent School District during
the school year.

Training
• Emergency Management staff attended the annual three-day Washington State
Emergency Management Conference in September. This is the largest emergency

proper in the case of Corwin v. Kent, where Mr. Corwin filed suit after he claimed his
foot became lodged in a hole in the bottom of Lake Meridian while he was wading out
to a boat. The lower Court had previously ruled that Summary Judgement in favor
of the City was appropriate based upon Mr. Corwin’s inability to establish premises
liability in this matter. Mr. Corwin would have had to show that the City either knew
or should have known that the hole in the bottom of the lake presented an
unreasonable risk of harm.

armed based on her actions in surveillance video located. The victims’ phones and
personal belongings were stolen.
• October 20 - Officers responded to a report of a man who had been shot in the 1100
block of W. Harrison. The victim claimed that he was on his way to pick up a pizza after
dropping his child off at Arbor Chase Apartments and was followed by two vehicles. As
he stepped out of the car, a passenger in a green car fired several shots at him hitting
him in the foot and ankles at least four times. His vehicle also sustained bullet
damage. Officers recovered (16) 9mm casings from the middle of the street. There are
no witnesses to the shooting. The victim was transported to VMC for treatment. He has
an extensive criminal history in Kent including possession of a stolen vehicle, sexual
exploitation, and serious assaults.
• October 22 - officers were dispatched to a carjacking report at Atrium on James. The
victim pulled the Nissan Sentra out of the garage and parked it in a parking stall in front

driver’s door. The victim stated that one of the suspects pointed a black handgun at his
head and demanded the car keys while the other suspect lifted up his shirt and exposed
a black handgun tucked in the front waist band of his pants. The victim then gave his
keys to them and they got into his Nissan and drove off. The victim was uninjured.
• October 25 - officers went to serve an order on the brother of the Pierce County murder
suspect. They noticed the mother who answered the door was not acting normal, rather
than simply leaving when she said she was alone in the residence they stayed and
watched the residence until they could confirm the suspect was inside. This led to us
being able to take him into custody without incident.
