PROCLAMATTON
Whereas, Since its establishment in 1965, the National Head Start
Program has helped over eight million low-income pre-school children and
their families throughout the United States, In so doing, it has earned
recognition and support for its success in early childhood education and
development; and,
Whereas, Equally important, the health and nutrition aspects of the
program have improved the prevention, detection, and treatment of
children's medical, dental, and nutritional problems, thereby removing
barriers to growth and learning; and,
Whereas, Perhaps the most significant factor in the success of Head Start
has been the involvement of parents, volunteers, and the community. Their
commitment and the services provided by dedicated Head Start staff have
been instrumental in creating a quality program that truly provides young
children with a "head start" in life; and,
Whereas, In Kent, we are fortunate and thankful that Kent Youth and
Family Services and Puget Sound Educational Services District are providers
of "head start" programs for youth in our community.
NOW, THEREFORE,I, Suzette Cooke, Mayor of the city of Kent, do hereby
designate the month of October as
Head Start Awareness Month
In the city of Kent, Washington.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seäl of
Kent to be affixed this 17th day of October, 2Ot7.

Agenda Item: Public Hearing – 5A_
TO: City Council
DATE: October 17, 2017
SUBJECT: Potential Surplus of a Portion of Morrill Meadows/East Hill Park and
Removal of any Restrictive Covenants for Construction of a YMCA
Center – Resolution – Adopt
SUMMARY: As explained more fully in the attached resolution, the city is in the
process of a joint venture with the YMCA of Greater Seattle to construct a new YMCA
facility in a portion of the city’s Morrill Meadows/East Hill Park. The city’s surplus
property code requires a public meeting before the council can declare the property
surplus, and a new public law also requires a public hearing if a restrictive covenant
on the property will be removed as part of the sale.
In this case, some of the affected park property is restricted for outdoor recreational
use due to grant conditions imposed by the state Recreation and Resource
Conservation Office (RCO), and another portion is reserved open space due to funding
restrictions imposed by King County. Since the YMCA facility will be for indoor
recreation, the outdoor recreation and open space restrictions will have to be
removed, and in accordance with the new law, a public hearing is required. However,
as the RCO and King County may require, the City will locate and designate
replacement outdoor recreation and open space property to compensate for any loss
of use.
City staff will provide a presentation on this proposal before inviting testimony from
the public.
EXHIBITS: Resolution and its attached exhibits
RECOMMENDED BY: Administration; Parks, Recreation, and Human Services Director
BUDGET IMPACTS: None; once negotiated, there will be project costs, which will be
presented to the city council for approval.
MOTION: Adopt Resolution No. , authorizing the surplus of a portion
of Morrill Meadows/East Hill Park to allow the YMCA of Greater Seattle to
construct a new indoor recreational facility, authorizing the removal of
certain restricted covenants on the property in accordance with King County
and Recreation and Resource Conservation Office requirements, and
authorizing the mayor to take all necessary actions in accordance with this
resolution.

RESOLUTION NO. ___________
A RESOLUTION of the city council of the
city of Kent, Washington, approving consideration
for sale of a portion of the City’s Morrill
Meadows/East Hill Park for development of a new
YMCA facility; declaring the property to be surplus
in order to facilitate the YMCA improvements;
approving the removal, to the extent necessary, of
restrictive covenants or other real property
restrictions related to preservation of portions of
the property for outdoor recreation and open space
purposes, subject to any necessary approval of the
state Recreation and Conservation Office and King
County Department of Natural Resources and
Parks; and authorizing the Mayor to take all
appropriate actions consistent with this resolution.
RECITALS
A. Pursuant to RCW 35A.11.010, the City is authorized to dispose
of real property for the common benefit.
B. Approximately three years ago, representatives of the YMCA of
Greater Seattle approached City representatives with a conceptual proposal
to construct a YMCA facility in Kent.
C. The City and the YMCA agreed that a new YMCA facility would
provide a significant benefit to the community and eventually agreed that the
best location would be to develop the facility within the easterly portion of
the City’s Morrill Meadows/East Hill Park.
D. On October 23, 2015, the City and the YMCA entered into a
Memorandum of Agreement that outlined the general principles to be
1 Resolution
Morrill Meadows/East Hill Park Property
YMCA Conveyance and Removal of Restrictive Covenants
employed between the parties to begin the joint development of the new
YMCA facility.
E. The current project proposal includes construction of an
approximately 50,000 square foot building with a swimming pool larger than
the YMCA’s standard for a community facility of this size, as well as options
for facility use that will bring particularized benefit to Kent residents. Under
the proposal, the City would convey to the YMCA by deed the necessary
property to construct the facility. However, the scope of the project, details
of the property’s ownership and reversionary issues, and construction
responsibilities are subject to continued negotiations.
F. Pursuant to the City’s surplus property process, the city council
determined on June 6, 2017, to start considering whether the City should
surplus the property needed for the YMCA project. In accord with Chapter
3.12 of the Kent City Code, the City published timely notice to the public,
posted notice as required by the ordinance, and mailed notice to nearby
property owners that the City would be considering whether to surplus the
property upon which the YMCA facility is proposed to be constructed.
Because the City entered into the Memorandum of Agreement with the YMCA
before the city council enacted Chapter 3.12 of the City code, details of the
proposed transfer to the YMCA are more advanced than would normally occur
under the City’s surplus provisions, and accordingly, those details are
provided in this resolution.
G. On July 23, 2017, House Bill 1959, the “land covenant
preservation and transparency act,” took effect, which is codified in part in
RCW 35A.21.410. This act requires that, when a local government agency
intends to remove a restrictive covenant from real property, it should be
through an open process subject to a public hearing.
H. Portions of the property that will be used for the YMCA facility
and the adjoining parking area were purchased through grants from the state
2 Resolution
Morrill Meadows/East Hill Park Property
YMCA Conveyance and Removal of Restrictive Covenants
Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO), and funds acquired through King
County’s 1989 Open Space Bond Program, as supplemented by King County’s
Conservation Futures Program. A condition of the RCO grants was that the
property would be used only for outdoor recreation, and a condition of the
King County funds was that the property would be maintained as open space.
However, both programs anticipate that community needs change over time,
and they contemplate and allow for negotiated conversion and replacement
by funding recipients. Because the YMCA facility and the parking area that
will serve it will be used for indoor recreation, the RCO grant restriction will
have to be removed. Additionally, because a portion of the property acquired
with King County open space/conservation futures funds will need to be
transferred to the YMCA for it to construct its building, the King County open
space restriction will also have to be removed from that property.
I. In order to remove the RCO restriction, the City will have to
obtain property of equal outdoor recreational value to replace the area being
removed from outdoor recreation use, all subject to the RCO’s prior approval.
The City and the RCO have commenced the process to locate suitable
replacement property. As for King County’s open space restriction, the City
will continue its work with King County to determine to what extent
additional replacement property may be necessary. However, the end result
in both instances is that once the negotiated conversion process is
accomplished, there will be no net loss of open space or outdoor recreational
use and value in the City.
J. On August 18, 2017, the City’s State Environmental Policy Act
(SEPA) Responsible Official issued a Determination of Non-Significance for
the surplus property proposal.
K. Having complied with the procedures and provisions of the Kent
City Code relating to consideration of City-owned property for surplus, and
having complied with the public hearing requirements of the land covenant
preservation and transparency act, the city council has determined that it is
3 Resolution
Morrill Meadows/East Hill Park Property
YMCA Conveyance and Removal of Restrictive Covenants
appropriate and timely to surplus those portions of Morrill Meadows/East Hill
Park needed to support the construction of the new YMCA facility.
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENT,
WASHINGTON DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
RESOLUTION
SECTION 1. – Recitals Incorporated. The foregoing recitals are
incorporated into the body of this resolution and constitute the findings of the
Kent City Council on this matter.
SECTION 2. – Public’s Best Interest. It is in the public’s best interest
that the portions of the Morrill Meadow/East Hill Park be converted by sale or
lease to use by the YMCA of Greater Seattle for a new community recreation
facility.
SECTION 3. – Property Deemed Surplus. To fulfill the public meeting
requirement for surplus property under Chapter 3.12 of the Kent City Code, a
public hearing was held on October 17, 2017, at a regular meeting of the
Kent City Council. After due consideration, the property upon which the YMCA
building will be located, and which will be transferred by deed to the YMCA
subject to any negotiated reversionary provision, is declared surplus
property. For illustration purposes, this surplus property is generally bordered
in red on the attached and incorporated Exhibit A. The city council makes this
surplus determination in order to allow for the future transfer of the property
to the YMCA and to gain the recreational value to be received by that
transfer. The Mayor is authorized to take all appropriate acts to fulfill the
decisions made by this resolution, but any final joint development agreement,
sale, or lease of the property must first be approved by the city council.
SECTION 4. – Land Covenant Preservation and Transparency Act. A
public hearing was held on October 17, 2017, at a regular meeting of the
Kent City Council to receive testimony on the subject of removing grant and
4 Resolution
Morrill Meadows/East Hill Park Property
YMCA Conveyance and Removal of Restrictive Covenants
deed requirements that restrict portions of the property for open space and
outdoor recreational use, because after project completion, the YMCA building
and certain related areas will be used for, or in support of, indoor recreation.
After due consideration, Council requests the Mayor continue to work with the
state Recreation and Conservation Office and King County to remove any
covenant that limits use of the areas outlined in blue (RCO) and green (King
County) on the attached and incorporated Exhibit B for open space or outdoor
recreation purposes. The Mayor is authorized to take all appropriate acts to
fulfill the decisions made by this resolution, but any final agreement to
purchase necessary replacement property must first be approved by the city
council.
SECTION 5. – Severability. If any one or more section, subsection, or
sentence of this resolution is held to be unconstitutional or invalid, such
decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portion of this resolution
and the same shall remain in full force and effect.
SECTION 6. – Corrections by City Clerk. Upon approval of the city
attorney, the city clerk is authorized to make necessary corrections to this
resolution, including the correction of clerical errors; resolution, section, or
subsection numbering; or references to other local, state, or federal laws,
codes, rules, or regulations.
SECTION 7. – Effective Date. This resolution shall take effect and be
in force immediately upon its passage.
PASSED at a regular open public meeting by the city council of the City
of Kent, Washington, this day of , 2017.

CITY OF KENT
ADDENDUM TO THE KENT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
ENVIRONM ENTAL IM PACT STATEM ENT
Responsible Official: Charlene Anderson
SCOPE
The City of Kent has completed environmental analys¡s, pursuant to the State
Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), for an amendment of the Capital Facilities
Element of the Comprehensive Plan to include the City's 2OL8-2O23 Capital
Improvement Program (CIP). This amendment to the Capital Facilities
Element is occurring concurrently with the adoption of the City's 2018 mid-
biennial budget adjustment as provided by RCW 36,704.130.
The GMA requires cities and counties to approve and maintain a six (6) year
capital facilities plan that will finance such capital facilities within projected
funding capacities and clearly identifies sources of public money for such
purposes. Kent's biennial budget document and six-year CIP fulfill the GMA
requirement for facilities planning. In addition, these documents serve as a
foundation for the City's fiscal management and eligibility for grants and
loans. The CIP, biennial budget and Capital Facilities Element of the
Comprehensive Plan provide coordination among the City's many plans for
capital improvements and guide and implement the provisions for adequate
public services and facilities.
The six-year CIP is a funding mechanism to implement projects and
programs identified in the City's Comprehensive Plan. Specifically, the Capital
Facilities Element of the Comprehensive Plan contains goals and policies
related to the provision and maintenance of public services and capital
facilities which are necessary to support the projected growth over the next
twenty (20) years, The goals and policies of the Capital Facilities Element are
consistent with the Land Use, Transportation and Parks and Recreation
Elements.
The City of Kent Comprehensive Plan Review and Midway Subarea Planned
Action Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), draft and final, as well as the
Downtown Subarea Action Plan Planned Action Supplemental (SEIS), draft
and final, evaluated the growth potential as identified in the City's
Comprehensive Plan, The adoption of the six-year CIP concurrently with the
City's mid-biennial budget adjustment is consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan EIS and Downtown Subarea Action Plan Supplemental EIS analyses, as

Statement (DEIS) was issued on October 22,2010 for the Draft Midway
Subarea Plan and Draft Planned Action Ordinance, as well as a Proposal for
alternative growth strategies at a programmatic level for the Kent Planning
Area. The DEIS was distributed to City Council and Land Use & Planning
Board members, adjacent jurisdictions, affected agencies and other parties of
interest. After comments on the DEIS were solicited and reviewed, a Final
Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) was issued and distributed on
September L,20LL.
On October 9, 20t2, the City of Kent issued a Determination of Significance
(DS) and Notice of Scoping for the Downtown Subarea Action Plan Update
(ENV-2012-30). The City solicited public comment on the scope of the DEIS
during the comment period, as well as through an open house meeting, A
Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (DSEIS) was issued on
June 21, 2013 for the Draft Downtown Subarea Action Plan, amendments of
Comprehensive Plan Land Use and Zoning Districts maps, development
regulations, Planned Action and Infill Exemption Ordinances, as well as
alternative growth strategies at a programmatic level for the Kent Planning
Area and Midway Subarea. The DSEIS was distributed to City Council and
Land Use & Planning Board members, adjacent jurisdictions, affected
agencies and other parties of interest. After comments on the DSEIS were
solicited and reviewed, a Final Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement (FSEIS) was issued and distributed on October 4,2013.
This Addendum to the City of Kent Comprehensive Plan Review, Midway
Subarea Planned Action EIS and Downtown Subarea Action Plan Planned
Action Supplemental EIS evaluates the adoption of the six-year CIP, No
additional impacts are identified since the CIP implements projects and
programs identified and evaluated in the EIS and SEIS.

Comprehensive Plan EIS - Addendum
Capital Improvement Program 2OIB-2023
EITIvTROTT'I TNTAL REVIEW - BACKGRoUND
The City of Kent has followed the process of phased environmental review asit undertakes actions to implement the Comprehensive Plan. The State
Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) and rules established for the act, WAC 197-
11, outline procedures for the use of existing environmental documents and
preparing addenda to environmental decisions.
Nonproject Documents - An EIS prepared for a comprehensive plan,
development regulation, or other broad based policy documents are
considered "non-project," or programmatic in nature (see WAC t97-7t-704).
These are distinguished from EISs or environmental documents prepared for
specific project actions, such as a building permit or a road construction
project. The purpose of a non-project EIS is to analyze proposed alternatives
and to provide environmental consideration and mitigation prior to adoption
of an alternative. It is also a document that discloses the process used in
evaluating alternatives to decision-makers and citizens.
Phased Review - SEPA rules allow environmental review to be phased so that
review coincides with meaningful points in the planning and decision making
process, (WAC L97-t1-060(5)). Broader environmental documents may be
followed by narrower documents that incorporate general discussion by
reference and concentrate solely on issues specific to that proposal. SEPA
rules also clearly state that agencies shall use a variety of mechanisms,
including addenda, adoption and incorporation by reference, to avoid
duplication and excess paperwork. Future projects identified and associated
with the implementation of the Capital Improvement Program may require
individual and separate environmental review, pursuant to SEPA. Such
review will occur when a specific project is identified.
Prior Environmental Documents The City of Kent issued a Draft
Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the City of Kent Comprehensive
Plan Review and Midway Subarea Planned Action on October 22, 2010
(#ENV-2010-3). The DEIS analyzed alternative growth strategies at a
programmatic level for the Kent Planning Area, as well as adoption of the
Midway Subarea Plan and a planned action ordinance to cover a portion of
the Midway Subarea, and recommended mitigation measures which were
used in preparing subarea plan policies. A Final Environmental Impact
Statement (FEIS) was issued on September 1, 20LL, and the Midway
Subarea Plan, Land Use Plan and Zoning Districts Map amendments, as well
as development regulations, were adopted by the City Council on December
t3,20LL.
The City of Kent issued a Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement (DSEIS) for the City of Kent Downtown Subarea Action Plan
Planned Action on June 2L, 20L3 (#ENV-2012-30). The DSEIS analyzed
alternative growth strategies for the Downtown Subarea, adoption of the
Downtown Subarea Action Plan, amendments of Comprehensive Plan Land
Use and Zoning District maps, development regulations, Planned Action and
Infill Exemption Ordinances, as well as alternative growth strategies at a
Page 3 of 5
Comprehensive Plan EIS - Addendum
Capital Improvement Program 2Ot8-2O23
programmatic level for the Kent Planning Area and Midway Subarea. The
DSEIS also recommended mitigation measures which were used in preparing
subarea plan policies. A Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement
(FSEIS) was issued on October 4, 20L3, and the Downtown Subarea Action
Plan, amendments to the Comprehensive Plan Land Use and Zoning Districts
maps, and amendments to development regulations within the General
Commercial-Mixed Use zoning district were adopted by the City Council on
November t9, 2013. The City Council adopted the Downtown Subarea
Planned Action and Infill Exemption Ordinances on December 10, 2013.
Scope of Addendum - As outlined in the SEPA rules, the purpose of an
addendum is to provide environmental analysis with respect to the described
actions. This analysis builds upon the City of Kent Comprehensive Plan
Review, Midway Subarea Planned Action EIS, and the City of Kent Downtown
Subarea Action Plan Planned Action SEIS but does not substantially change
the identified impacts and analyses; therefore it is prudent to utilize the
addendum process as outlined in WAC-t97-L1-600(a)(c),
E ruvI RoITI IvI ENTAL E LEM ENTS
All environmental elements were adequately addressed within the
parameters of the City of Kent Comprehensive Plan Review and Midway
Subarea Planned Action EIS, draft and final, and the Downtown Subarea
Action Plan Planned Action SEIS, draft and final. Further, subsequent
"project" actions would require the submittal of separate environmental
checklists, pursuant to SEPA, which will be analyzed for consistency with the
original mitigating conditions and may require new mitigation based upon
site-specific cond itions,
The adoption of the six-year CIP implements goals and policies identified in
the City's Capital Facilities Element of the Comprehensive Plan. Specifically,
the CIP implements the following:
Goal CF-7 - As the City of Kent continues to grow and develop, ensure that
an adequate supply and range of public services and capital facilities are
available to provide satisfactory standards of public health, safety, and
quality of life.
Policy CF-7.2 - Ensure that public services and capital facilities needs are
addressed in updates to Capital Facilities Plans and Capital Improvement
Programs, and development regulations as appropriate.
Policy CF-7.3 To ensure financial feasibility, provide needed public
services and facilities that the City has the ability to fund, or that the City
has the authority to require others to provide.
Goal CF-10 Ensure that appropriate funding sources are available to
acquire or bond for the provision of needed public services and facilities.

CIP and has found it to be consistent with the ranger types and magnitude of
impacts and corresponding mitigation outlined in the City of Kent
Comprehensive Plan Review and Midway Subarea Planned Action EIS and the
City of Kent Downtown Subarea Action Plan Planned Action SEIS. The
adoption of the six-year CIP does not substantially change any identified
related impacts in the EIS or SEIS.
This analysis and subsequent addendum did not identify any new significant
impacts associated with the adoption of the 20t8-2O23 CIP. Therefore, this
addendum, combined with the City of Kent Comprehensive Plan Review and
Midway Subarea Planned Action EIS and the City of Kent Downtown Subarea
Action Plan Planned Action SEIS adequately evaluate potential adverse
environmental impacts and provide appropriate mitigation for this nonproject
action, Based upon this analysis, a separate threshold determination is not
required, This document and corresponding environmental record may be
utilized in the future in conjunction with environmental review for future
projects identified in the CIP in accordance with the guidelines provided by
wAC 197-11.

Subject: Kent Comprehensive Plan and Amendments to Kent City Code Chapter
12.13 Re School Impact Fees
SUMMARY: This public hearing will consider amendment of the Capital Facilities
Element of the Kent Comprehensive Plan to incorporate the updated Capital Facilities
Plans of the Auburn, Federal Way, Highline and Kent School Districts. These plans
propose to also amend school impact fees outlined in Kent City Code Chapter 12.13.
Kent City Code requires the School Districts to submit their updated Plans annually
for Council review and consideration. The City Council holds the public hearing on
the school district plans at the same time as the public hearing for the budget, i.e.,
October 17, 2017.
BUDGET IMPACT: None
BACKGROUND: One of the planning goals under the Growth Management Act
(RCW 36.70A.020) is to ensure that those public facilities and services necessary to
support development are adequate and timely to serve the development without
decreasing current service levels below minimum standards. The Act (RCW
36.70A.070) requires the Capital Facilities Element of the Kent Comprehensive Plan
to inventory existing capital facilities, forecast future needs and provide for financing
of those facilities. RCW 82.02.050 authorizes cities planning under the Growth
Management Act to impose impact fees on development activity as part of the
financing for public facilities needed to serve new growth and development. As a
result, KCC 12.13.080 and 090 provide for imposition of school impact fees on
behalf of any school district which provides to the City a capital facilities plan; the
plan is adopted by reference as part of the Capital Facilities Element of the Kent
Comprehensive Plan. The school districts are required to submit for annual Council
review their updated capital facility plans (KCC 12.13.060 & 070).
The Auburn, Federal Way, Highline and Kent School Districts submitted their
2017/18 – 2022/23 Capital Facilities Plans and are requesting amendments of the
Kent Comprehensive Plan and Kent City Code Chapter 12.13 to reflect changes to
impact fees resulting from new student population generated by new single family
and multifamily residential development. The plans include an inventory of existing
facilities, existing facility needs, expected future facility requirements, expected
funding, and calculation of the impact fees according to the formula set forth in KCC
12.13.140.
MOTION: None at this time. This issue will be decided concurrently with
adoption of the 2018 Mid-Biennial Budget Adjustment.
The Auburn, Kent, Federal Way and Highline School Districts propose amendment of
the Kent Comprehensive Plan and Kent City Code Chapter 12.13 to reflect changes
to impact fees resulting from new student population generated by new single family
and multifamily residential development. The plans include an inventory of existing
facilities, existing facility needs, expected future facility requirements, and expected
funding.
The Kent School District proposes to increase their existing school impact fees for
single family units from $5,100 to $5,235 (an increase of $135 or 2.6%) and
increase their fees for multifamily units from $2,210 to $2,267 (an increase of $57
or 2.6%).
The Federal Way School District proposes to increase their existing school impact
fees for single family units from $3,198 to $6,842 (an increase of $3,644 or
113.9%) and increase their fees for multifamily units from $8,386 to $20,086 (an
increase of $11,700 or 139.5%).
The Auburn School District proposes to decrease their existing school impact fees for
single family units from $5,469.37 to $3,321.86 (a decrease of $2,147.51 or 39.3%)
and increase their fees for multifamily units from $1,639.70 to $2,081.29 (an
increase of $441.59 or 26.9%). The only area in Kent where Auburn School District’s
impact fees are applied is the Verdana or Bridges Planned Unit Development on the
former impoundment reservoir site.
The Highline School District proposes to decrease their existing school impact fees
for single family units from $7,528 to $2,290 (a decrease of $5,238 or 69.6%) and
decrease their fees for multifamily units from $6,691 to $3,162 (a decrease of
$3,529 or 52.7%). The Highline School District covers the northern section of the
Midway Subarea.
Included with this memo are comparison tables among the four school districts,
historical data on the school impact fees and a list of impact fee expenditures for
each of the school districts except Highline which did not have any Kent
development that would have incurred impact fees.

Capital Facilities Plan
2017 through 2023
Section I
Executive Summary

Auburn School District No. 408
CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
2017 through 2023
I. Executive Summary
This six-year Capital Facilities Plan (the “Plan”) has been prepared by the Auburn
School District (the “District”) as the District’s principal planning document, in compliance
with the requirements of Washington’s Growth Management Act and the adopted
ordinances of the counties and cities served by the District. This Plan was prepared
using data available in the spring of 2017.
This Plan is consistent with prior long-term capital facilities plans adopted by the District.
However, this Plan is not intended to be the sole plan for all of the District’s needs. The
District may prepare interim and periodic long-range Capital Facilities Plans consistent
with Board Policies and actions, taking into account a longer or a shorter time period;
other factors and trends in the use of facilities; and other needs of the District as may be
required. However, any such plan or plans will be consistent with this six-year Capital
Facilities Plan.
To enable the collection of impact fees in the unincorporated areas of King County and
within the City of Auburn and City of Kent; the King County Council, the City of Auburn
and the City of Kent will adopt this Plan by reference as part of each jurisdiction’s
respective comprehensive plan. To enable the collection of impact fees in the Cities of
Algona, Pacific, and Black Diamond, these municipalities must also adopt this Plan and
adopt school impact fee ordinances.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Growth Management Act and the local ordinances,
this Plan will be updated on an annual basis, and any changes in the fee schedule(s)
adjusted accordingly.
The Plan establishes the District’s “standard of service” in order to ascertain the District’s
current and future capacity. While the State Superintendent of Public Instruction
establishes square footage guidelines for capacity, those guidelines do not account for
the local program needs of the District. The Growth Management Act and the school
impact fee ordinance authorize the District to define its standard of service based on the
District’s specific needs. In general, the District’s current standard provides that class
size for grades K-2 should not exceed 24 students and 17.3 students for our nine
schools designated as serving high poverty areas; class size for grades 3-4 should not
exceed 26 students; class size for grade 5 should not exceed 29 students. When
averaged over the six elementary grades, this computes to 23.35 students per
classroom. Class size for grades 6-12 should not exceed 30 students, with some
subject areas restricted to lesser numbers. Decisions by current legislative actions may
create the need for additional classrooms. (See Section III for more specific
information.)
The capacity of the schools in the District is calculated based on this standard of service
and the existing inventory of facilities including transitional classrooms. The District’s
3
2016-17 capacity was 14,717. The actual number of individual students was 15,945 as
of October 1, 2016. (See Section V for more specific information.)
The Capital Construction Plan shown in Section VI addresses the additions and
proposed modernization to the District’s existing facilities. The plan includes the
replacement of five elementary schools and one middle school, construction of two new
elementary schools, and acquisition of future school sites to accommodate growth. The
new facilities are required to meet the projected elementary school class size reductions
mandated by the State of Washington and student population increases generated by
the large development areas within the Auburn School District. Three areas that have
significant impact on the school district are the Lakeland South, Lea Hill, and the Auburn
west hill areas of the district. There are other pockets of development that impact the
District as well.
The District completed a comprehensive review of all district facilities in October 2008.
A Steering Committee made recommendations to the Board for capital improvements to
existing facilities and replacement of seven schools over the next ten years. These
recommendations led to a capital improvements levy and a bond issue that was placed
on the ballot in March 2009. Both ballot measures were unsuccessful in March. The
Board determined to rerun only the capital improvements levy in November 2009, which
the voters approved.
In the fall of 2011, the Board determined to move forward with the Auburn High School
Modernization and Reconstruction Project and placed the project before the voters in
February of 2012. The bond issue was supported by the community at nearly 57%
approval rate, but was short of the super majority requirement of 60%. In March of
2012, the Board determined to rerun the bond in November of 2012. In November 2012,
the bond passed at 62%. The project was completed during the summer of 2016.
In the spring of 2016, the Board determined to move forward with the replacement of six
schools and the construction of two new elementary schools. The project was placed
before the voters in November 2016 and the bond passed at 62.83%. The first of the
projects, the replacement of Olympic Middle School, is scheduled to start construction in
March 2018.
The School Impact Fee Ordinances adopted by King County, the City of Auburn and the
City of Kent provide for the assessment of impact fees to assist in meeting some of the
fiscal impacts incurred by a district experiencing growth and development. Section VII
sets forth the proposed school impact fees for single family and multi-family dwelling
units. The student generation factors have been developed using the students who
actually attend school in the Auburn School District from single family and multi-family
developments constructed in the last five years. There have been dramatic changes in
the student generation factors for single and multi-family in the past five years. The
District plans to carefully monitor the numbers over the next several years to determine if
this is a trend or an anomaly. The method of collecting the data is with the use of GIS
mapping software, data from King County and Pierce County GIS, and integration of the
mapping with student data from the District’s student data system. This method gives
the District actual student generation numbers for each grade span for identified
developments. This data is contained in Appendix A.3.

STANDARD OF SERVICE
The School Impact Fee Ordinances adopted by King County, the City of Auburn and the City of Kent indicate
that each school district must establish a "Standard of Service" in order to ascertain the overall capacity to house
its projected student population. The Superintendent of Public Instruction establishes square footage
"capacity" guidelines for computing state funding support. The fundamental purpose of the SPI guidelines
is to provide a vehicle to equitably distribute state matching funds for school construction projects. By default
these guidelines have been used to benchmark the district's capacity to house its student population. The SPI
guidelines do not make adequate provision for local district program needs, facility configurations, emerging
educational reform, or the dynamics of each student's educational program. The Auburn School District Standard
of Service addresses those local considerations that require space in excess of the SPI guidelines. The effect
on the space requirements for both permanent and relocatable facilities is shown below for each grade articulation
pattern. Conditions that may result in potential space needs are provided for information purposes without
accompanying computations.
OVERVIEW
The Auburn School District operates fourteen elementary schools housing 7,500 students in grades
K through 5. The four middle schools house 3,392 students in grades 6 through 8. The District operates
three comprehensive senior high schools and one alternative high school, housing 5,053 students in
grades 9 through 12.
CLASS SIZE
The number of pupils per classroom determines the number of classrooms required to house the
student population. Specialists create additional space needs. Class sizes are subject to collective
bargaining agreements. Changes to class size agreements can have significant impact on available space.
The current pupil/teacher limit across all elementary programs is an average of 23.35 students per
teacher. Consistent with this staffing limit, room capacities are set at 23.35 students per room at grades
K - 5. At grades 6 - 12 the limit is set at 30 pupils per room. The SPI space allocation for each grade
articulation level, less the computed reduction for the Auburn School District Standard of Service,
determines the District's capacity to house projected pupil populations. These reductions are shown
below by grade articulation level.
STRUCTURED LEARNING FOR DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED SPECIAL EDUCATION
The Auburn School District operates a structured learning program for students with moderate to severe
disabilities at the elementary school level which currently uses eleven classrooms to provide for 107 students.
The housing requirements for this program are provided for in the SPI space guidelines. No loss of
capacity is expected unless population with disabilities grows at a disproportionate rate compared to
total elementary population.
ADAPTIVE BEHAVIOR
The Auburn School District operates an adaptive behavior program for students with behavior
disabilities at the elementary school level. The program uses one classroom to provide for seven students.
The housing requirements for this program exceed the SPI space allocations by one classroom.
Loss of Permanent Capacity 1 room @ 23.35 each =(23)
Loss of Temporary Capacity 0 rooms @ 23.35 each =0

SPECIAL EDUCATION RESOURCE ROOMS
The Auburn School District operates a resource room program at the elementary level for special
education students requiring instruction to address their specific disabilities. Fourteen standard
classrooms are required to house this program. The housing requirements for this program exceed
the SPI space guidelines by seven standard classrooms. Continued loss of capacity is expected as growth
in program is larger than the total elementary population.
Loss of Permanent Capacity 7 rooms @ 23.35 each = (163)
Loss of Temporary Capacity 0 rooms @ 23.35 each = 0
Total Capacity Loss = (163)
NATIVE AMERICAN RESOURCE ROOM
The Auburn School District operates one resource room to support the education of Native American
students at the elementary level. One standard classroom is fully dedicated to serve these students.

Loss of Temporary Capacity 0 rooms @ 23.35 each =0
Total Capacity Loss = (23)
HEAD START
The Auburn School District operates a Head Start program for approximately 114 pre-school aged children
in six sections of 1/2 day in length. The program is housed at three elementary schools and utilizes
three standard elementary classrooms and auxiliary office spaces. The housing requirements for this
program are not provided for in the SPI space guidelines.
Loss of Permanent Capacity 3 rooms @ 23.35 each = (70)
Loss of Temporary Capacity 0 rooms @ 23.358 each = 0
Total Capacity Loss = (70)
EARLY CHILDHOOD SPECIAL EDUCATION
The Auburn School District operates a pre-school program for young children below age five with
disabilities. This program is housed at seven different elementary schools and currently uses 10
standard classrooms. The housing requirements for this program are not provided for in the SPI
space guidelines.
Loss of Permanent Capacity 10 rooms @ 23.35 each = (234)
Loss of Temporary Capacity 0 rooms @ 23.35 each = 0
Total Capacity Loss = (234)
READING LABS
The Auburn School District operates a program for students needing remediation and additional
language arts instruction. These programs utilize non-standard classroom spaces if available in
each elementary school. Four elementary schools do not have non-standard rooms available, thus
they are housed in a standard classroom. The housing requirements for this program are not
provided for in the SPI space guidelines.

Table IV.1 shows the current inventory of permanent district facilities and their OSPI rated capacities.
Table IV.2 shows the number and location of each portable unit by school. The district uses relocatable
facilities to:
1. provide interim housing in school attendance areas uniquely impacted by increasing school
populations that would otherwise require continual redistricting,
2. make space available for changing program requirements and offerings determined by unique
student needs, and
3. provide housing to cover district needs until permanent facilities can be financed and constructed.
Relocatable facilities are deemed to be interim, stop gap measures that often place undesirable stress on
existing physical plants. Core facilities (i.e. gymnasiums, restrooms, kitchens, labs, lockers, libraries, etc.) are
not of sufficient size or quantity to handle the increased school population served by adding relocatable
classrooms.

While the Auburn School District uses the SPI inventory of permanent facilities as the data from
which to determine space needs, the District's educational program requires more space than that
provided for under the formula. This additional square footage is converted to numbers of pupils in
Section III, Standard of Service. The District's capacity is adjusted to reflect the need for additional
space to house its programs. Changes in the capacity of the district recognize new funded
facilities. The combined effect of these adjustments is shown on Line B in Tables V.1 and V.2 below.
Table V.1 shows the Distict's capacity with relocatable units included and Table V.2 without these units.

The formal process used by the Board to address current and future facility needs began in 1974
with the formation of a community wide citizens committee. The result of this committee's work was
published in the document titled 'Guidelines for Development.' In 1985 the Board formed a second
Ad Hoc citizens committee to further the work of the first and address the needs of the District for
subsequent years. The work of this committee was published in the document titled 'Directions for
the Nineties.' In 1995 the Board commissioned a third Ad Hoc citizens committee to make
recommendations for improvements to the District's programs and physical facilities. The committee
recommendations are published in the document titled 'Education Into The Twenty-First Century - -
A Community Involved.'
The 1995 Ad Hoc committee recommended the District develop plans for the implementation,
funding, and deployment of technology throughout the District's programs. The 1996 Bond
proposition provided funding to enhance the capacity of each facility to accommodate technological
applications. The 1998 Capital Levy provided funding to further deploy technology at a level
sufficient to support program requirements in every classroom and department. In 2005 and 2014,
replacement technology levies were approved to continue to support technology across all facets of
the District’s teaching, learning and operations.
In addition to the technology needs of the District, the Ad Hoc committee recognized the District
must prepare for continued student enrollment growth. As stated in their report, "the District must
pursue an appropriate high school site as soon as possible." The Ad Hoc recommendation included
commentary that the financing should be timed to maintain consistent rates of tax assessments.
A proposition was approved by the voters on April 28, 1998 that provided $8,000,000 over six years
to address some of the technology needs of the District; and $5,000,000 to provide funds to acquire
school sites.
During the 1997-98 school year, a Joint District Citizen's Ad Hoc Committee was appointed by the
Auburn and Dieringer School Boards to make recommendations on how best to serve the school
population from an area that includes a large development known as Lakeland South. Lakeland
South at that time was immediately adjacent to the southern boundary of the Auburn School District.
On June 16, 1998, the Ad Hoc Committee presented its recommendation at a joint meeting of the
Auburn and Dieringer Boards of Directors. On June 22, 1998, the Auburn School Board adopted
Resolution No. 933 authorizing the process to initiate the adjustment of the boundaries of the District
in accordance with the Ad Hoc Committee's recommendation. On June 23, 1998, the Dieringer
School Board adopted a companion Resolution No. 24-97-98 authorizing the process to initiate the
adjustment of the boundaries in accordance with the Ad Hoc Committee's recommendation. These
actions resulted in the transfer of an area from Dieringer to Auburn containing most of the Lakeland
South development and certain other undeveloped properties.
Property for the third comprehensive high school was acquired in 1999. The Board placed the
proposition to construction a new high school on the ballot four times. Each election was extremely
close to passing. After the fourth failure a community meeting was held and from that meeting the
Board determined need for further community study.
In April of 2002, the Board formed a fifth citizen's Ad Hoc committee to address the following two
items and make recommendations to the Board in the Fall of 2002:
a. A review of the conclusion and recommendations of 1985 and 1995 Ad Hoc Committees
related to accommodating high school enrollment growth. This included the review of
possible financing plans for new facilities.
b. Develop recommendations for accommodating high school enrollment growth for the next 10
years if a new senior high school is not built.

This committee recommended the Board place the high school on the ballot for the fifth time in
February 2003. The February election approved the new high school at 68.71% yes votes. The
school opened in the fall of 2005.
In the fall of 2003, the Board directed the administration to begin the planning and design for
Elementary #13 and Elementary #14. In the fall of 2004, the Board passed Resolution No. 1054 to
place two elementary schools on the ballot in February 2005. The voters approved the ballot
measure in February of 2005 at 64.72%. Lakeland Hills Elementary (Elementary #13) opened in the
fall of 2006. Arthur Jacobsen Elementary (Elementary #14) is located in the Lea Hill area and
opened in the fall of 2007. These two elementary schools were built to accommodate the housing
growth in Lakeland Hills and Lea Hill areas of the school district.
In the 2004-05 school year, the Board convened a sixth Citizen’s Ad Hoc committee to again study
and make recommendations about the future impacts in the District. One of the areas of study was
the need for New Facilities and Modernization. The committee made a number of recommendations
including school size, the need for a new middle school, and to begin a capital improvements
program to modernize or replace facilities based upon criterion.
During the 2005-06 school year, a Joint District Citizen's Ad Hoc Committee was appointed by the
Auburn and Kent School Boards to make recommendations on how best to serve the school
population that will come from an area that includes a number of projected developments in the
north Auburn valley. On May 17, 2006, the Ad Hoc Committee presented its recommendation at a
joint meeting of the Auburn and Kent Boards of Directors. On June 14, 2006, the Kent School Board
adopted Resolution No. 1225 authorizing the process to initiate the adjustment of the boundaries of
the District in accordance with the Ad Hoc Committee's recommendation. On June 26, 2006, the
Auburn School Board adopted a companion Resolution No. 1073 authorizing the process to initiate
the adjustment of the boundaries in accordance with the Ad Hoc Committee's recommendation.
These actions resulted in the transfer of an area from the Kent School District to the Auburn School
District effective September 29, 2006.
In October of 2008, after two years of review and study, a Steering Committee made
recommendations to the Board regarding the capital improvements program to modernize or replace
facilities as recommended by the 2004-05 Citizen’s Ad Hoc Committee. These recommendations,
based on specific criteria, led to the Board placing a school improvement bond and capital
improvements levy on the ballot in March 2009. Voters did not approve either measure that would
have updated 24 facilities and replaced three aging schools. The Board decided to place only a six-
year Capital Levy on the ballot in November of 2009, which passed at 55.17%. The levy funded
$46.4 million of needed improvement projects at 24 sites over the following seven school years.
Planning for the replacement of aging schools was started with educational specifications and
schematic design process for the replacement of Auburn High School.
The District acquired a site for a future high school in 2008 and a second site for a future middle
school in 2009. The District also continued efforts to acquire property around Auburn High School.
The Special Education Transition Facility opened in February of 2010. This facility is designed for
students with disabilities that are 18 to 21 years old.
In the November 2012 election, the community supported the $110 million bond issue for the Auburn
High School Modernization and Reconstruction Project at 62%. Construction began in February
2013. The entire new building was occupied by Auburn High School students and staff in the fall of
2015, with site improvements being completed during the 2015/16 school year.

In January 2015, a citizen’s ad hoc committee was convened by direction of the Board to address
growth and facilities. The major recommendations were to construct two new elementary schools in
the next four years and to acquire 3 new elementary school sites as soon as possible.
In the November 2016 election, the community supported the $456 million bond issue for the
replacement of six schools and the construction of two new elementary schools at 62.83%.
Construction for the replacement of Olympic Middle School is scheduled to begin in March 2018.
Within the six-year period, the District is projecting 3,062 additional students. This increase in
student population along with anticipated class-size reductions, will require the construction of two
new elementary schools and acquiring three new elementary school sites during the six-year
window.
In addition to new and replacement school construction, this District needs to address several major
construction projects to accommodate enrollment growth and continued District use. These projects
include improvements at the Support Services Center, Transportation Center, replacement of or
improvements to the roof at Auburn Memorial Stadium, boiler replacement at Auburn Mountainview
High School, and energy management system replacement at Auburn Riverside High School.
The table below illustrates the current capital construction plan for the next six years. The exact
timelines are wholly dependent on the rate of growth in the school age population.

Student Enrollment Projections

Introduction
The projective techniques give some consideration to historical and current data as a basis for
forecasting the future. In addition, the ‘projector’ must make certain assumptions about the operant
variables within the data being used. These assumptions are “judgmental” by definition. Forecasting
can be defined as the extrapolation or logical extension from history to the future, or from the known
to the unknown. The attached tabular data reviews the history of student enrollment, sets out some
quantitative assumptions, and provides projections based on these numerical factors.
The projection logic does not attempt to weigh the individual sociological, psychological, economic,
and political factors that are present in any demographic analysis and projection. The logic embraces
the assumptions that whatever these individual factors have been in the past are present today, and will
be in the future. It further moderates the impact of singular factors by averaging data over thirteen
years and six years respectively. The results provide a trend, which reflects a long (13-year) and a short
(6-year) base from which to extrapolate.
Two methods of estimating the number of kindergarten students have been used. The first uses the
average increase or decrease over the past 13 and 6-year time frame and adds it to each succeeding
year. The second derives what the average percentage Auburn kindergartners have been of live births
in King County for the past 5 years and uses this to project the subsequent four years.
The degree to which the actuals deviate from the projections can only be measured after the fact.
This deviation provides a point of departure to evaluate the effectiveness of the assumptions and logic
being used to calculate future projections. Monitoring deviation is critical to the viability and
credibility of the projections derived by these techniques.
Tables
Table 1 – Thirteen Year History of October 1 Enrollments – page 3
The data shown in this table is the baseline information used to project future enrollment. This data
shows the past record of enrollment in the district on October 1 of each year.
Table 2 – Historical Factors Used in Projections - page 4
This table shows the three basic factors derived from the data in Table 1. These factors have been
used in the subsequent projections. The three factors are:
Factor 1 – Average Pupil Change Between Grade Levels
This factor is sometimes referred to as the “holding power” or “cohort survival.” It is a
measure of the number of pupils gained or lost as they move from one grade level to the
next.
Factor 2 – Average Pupil Change by Grade Level
This factor is the average change at each grade level over the 13 or 6-year period.
Factor 3 – Auburn School District Kindergarten Enrollment as a Function of King
County Live Births.
This factor calculates what percent each kindergarten class was of the King County live
births in the five previous years. From this information has been extrapolated the
kindergarten pupils expected for the next four years.

Table 3 – Projection Models – pages 5-13
This set of tables utilizes the above mentioned variables and generates several projections. The
models are explained briefly below.
Table 3.13 (pg 5) – shows a projection based on the 13-year average gain in kindergarten
(Factor 2) and the 13-year average change between grade levels (Factor 1). The data is
shown for the district as a whole.
Table 3.6 (pg 5) – shows a projection using the same scheme as Table 3.13 except it
shortens the historical data to only the most recent 6 years.
Table 3.13A and 3.6A (pg 6) – uses the same factors above except Factor 3 is substituted
for Factor 2. The kindergarten rates are derived from the King County live births instead
of the average gain.
Tables 3E.13, 3E.6, 3E.13A, 3E.6A (pg 7) – breaks out the K-5 grades from the district
projection. Summary level data is provided for percentage gain and pupil gain by grade
articulation.
Tables 3MS.13, 3MS.6, 3MS.13A, 3MS.6A (pg 8) – breaks out the 6-8 grades from the
district projection. Summary level data is provided for percentage gain and pupil gain by
grade articulation.
Tables 3SH.13, 3SH.6, 3SH.13A, 3SH.6A (pg 9) – breaks out the 9-12 grades from the
district projection. Summary level data is provided for percentage gain and pupil gain by
grade articulation.
Table 4 (pg 10) – Collects the four projection models by grade group for ease of
comparison.
Table 5 (pgs 11-13) – shows how well each projection model performed when compared
with actual enrollments. Data is provided in both number and percent formats for the
past 13 years.
Summary
This year is the fifth consecutive year of an increase in enrollment after three consecutive years of
declining enrollment. The increase of 282 students changes our historical average gain/loss in
students. Over the past 6 years the average gain is now 1.62% annually, which equates to an average
annual gain of 244 students.
Using the cohort survival models, the data below is a summary of the range of variation between the
four models. This data can be used for planning for future needs of the district.
The models show changes in the next six years:
Elementary level show increases ranging from 971 to 1,300. (page 7)
Middle School level show increases ranging from 688 to 692. (page 8)
High School level show increases ranging from 692 to 774. (page 9)
The models show these changes looking forward thirteen years:
Elementary level show increases ranging from 2,179 to 3,047. (page 7)
Middle School level show increases ranging from 1,289 to 1,536. (page 8)
High School level show increases ranging from 1,569 to 1,659. (page 9)
This data does not factor new developments that are currently under construction or in the planning
stages.

INTRODUCTION
In response to the requirements of the State of Washington Growth Management Act
(SHB) 2929 (1990) and ESHB 1025 (1991)), and under the School Impact Fee
Ordinances of King County Code 21A, City of Federal Way Ordinance No. 95-249
effective December 21, 1995 as amended, City of Kent Ordinance No.3260 effective
March 1996, and the City of Auburn Ordinance No. 5078 effective 1998, Federal Way
Public Schools has updated its 2018 Capital Facilities Plan as of May 2017.
This Plan is scheduled for adoption by King County, the City of Kent, City of Federal Way
and the City of Auburn and is incorporated in the Comprehensive Plans of each jurisdiction
by reference. This plan is also included in the Facilities Plan element of the Comprehensive
Plans of each jurisdiction. To date, the City of Des Moines has not adopted a school impact
fee ordinance. The City of Des Moines collects school impact fees as part of the SEPA
process.
The Growth Management Act requires the County to designate Urban Growth areas within
which urban growth can be encouraged. The Growth Management Planning Council
adopted and recommended to the King County Council four Urban Growth Area Line
Maps with designations for urban centers. A designation was made within the Federal Way
planning area, which encompasses Federal Way Public Schools boundaries. King County
will encourage and actively support the development of Urban Centers to meet the region’s
need for housing, jobs, services, culture, and recreation. This Plan’s estimated population
growth is prepared with this underlying assumption.
This Capital Facilities Plan will be used as documentation for any jurisdiction, which
requires its use to meet the needs of the Growth Management Act. This plan is not
intended to be the sole planning tool for all of the District needs. The District may
prepare interim plans consistent with Board policies or management need.
Construction to replace Federal Way High School and to increase capacity by
approximately 200 students has been in progress since 2014. We are currently nearing
the completion of this $106 million project. The District began Phase I in Summer 2014.
The newly constructed building, including the majority of the classrooms (Phase II), was
ready for use beginning in the 2016-17 school year. The existing cafeteria, gymnasium,
and kitchen will continue to be in use during construction. Phase III, demolition of the
cafeteria, gymnasium, and kitchen, and construction of athletic fields, will begin this
summer and is expected to be completed by Winter 2018.
The District continues to monitor factors that may have an impact on enrollment and
capacity at our schools. In accordance with the McCleary decision, the State continues to
phase in funding based on a reduction of K-3 class size to 17 and 4-12 class size to 25.
Initiative Measure No. 1351 would further reduce these class sizes in schools where more
than 50% of students were eligible for free and reduced-price meals in the prior year.
Under this measure, class sizes in those schools would be reduced to 15 in grades K-3, 22
in grade 4, and 23 in grades 5-12. The additional class size reductions required by
Initiative 1351 would increase our classroom need from 60 to 120 at our Elementary &
K-8 schools and add a need for an additional 26 classrooms at our Secondary schools.

During the 2016-17 school year the District formed a Facilities Planning Committee
consisting of District staff, parents, and community members. The Committee was
tasked with developing a recommendation to the Superintendent regarding Phase 2 of the
District’s plan for school construction, remodeling, and/or modernization for voter
consideration in November 2017. Through the committee’s work a determination was
made to recommend the rebuilding of Thomas Jefferson High School, Illahee Middle
School, Totem Middle School, Lake Grove Elementary, Mirror Lake Elementary,
Olympic View Elementary, Star Lake Elementary, and Wildwood Elementary. In
addition to the school projects, the committee is also recommending the modernization of
Memorial Stadium, which currently supports athletic activities for all schools. The
rebuild of the aforementioned schools will create additional capacity for 960 students at
the elementaries and 200 students at the high school. The expanded capacity supplants
the need for additional elementary schools.
We will also continue to study school boundaries as new housing and fluctuating
populations impact specific schools. Some shifts in boundaries may be required in the
coming years. At this time with more than 1,000 unhoused elementary students,
boundary adjustments cannot resolve the need for additional capacity. The maps
included in this Plan reflect the boundaries for the 2017-18 school year.

SECTION 2 - MAPS OF DISTRICT BOUNDARIES
Federal Way Public Schools has twenty-one elementary schools (grades K-5), two schools
with a K-8 grade configuration, six middle school schools (grades 6-8), four high schools
(grades 9-12) and two small secondary schools. The Federal Way Public Academy serves
students in grades 6-10. The programs at Career Academy at Truman High School serves
students in grades 9-12. In addition to these programs, TAFA @ Saghalie serves students
in grades 6-12 who reside within the service area.
The following maps show the service area boundaries for each school, by school type.
(Career Academy at Truman High School and Federal Way Public Academy serve students
from throughout the District). The identified boundaries are reviewed annually. Any
change in grade configuration or adoption of programs that affect school populations may
necessitate a change in school service areas.
The Growth Management Act requires that a jurisdiction evaluate if the public facility
infrastructure is in place to handle new housing developments. In the case of most public
facilities, new development has its major impact on the facilities immediately adjacent to
that development. School Districts are different. If the District does not have permanent
facilities available, interim measures must be taken until new facilities can be built or
until boundaries can be adjusted to match the population changes to the surrounding
facilities.
Adjusting boundaries requires careful consideration by the District and is not taken lightly.
It is recognized that there is a potential impact on students who are required to change
schools. Boundary adjustments impact the whole district, not just one school.
It is important to realize that a single housing development does not require the
construction of a complete school facility. School districts are required to project growth
throughout the district and build or adjust boundaries based on growth throughout the
district, not just around a single development.

Building Capacities
This Capital Facilities Plan establishes the District’s “standard of service” in order to
ascertain the District’s current and future capacity. The Superintendent of Public
Instruction establishes square footage guidelines for capacity, but these guidelines do not
take into consideration the education program needs.
In general, the District’s current target class size provides that the average class size for a
standard classroom for grades K through 3 should be 17 students to comply with McCleary.
In grades 4-5 the target is 25 students. For grades 6 to 12 the target class size is 26 students.
Classrooms for students with Individualized Education Program (Special Education) needs
are calculated at 12 seats per classroom.
Historically, the District has used the OSPI square footage calculation as a baseline for
capacity calculation and made adjustments for specific program needs. The District will
continue to use this calculation for determining capacity at our middle and high schools.
However, with the implementation of McCleary which requires a significant reduction in
K-3 class sizes, elementary capacity, in this Plan, will be calculated based on the number
of classroom spaces, the number of students assigned to each classroom and the extent of
support facilities available for students, staff, parents, and the community.

Special Education Resource Rooms:
Each middle school requires the use of a standard classroom(s) for special education
students requiring instruction to address specific disabilities.
English as a Second Language Programs:
Each middle school and high school requires the use of a standard classroom for students
learning English as a second language.
Middle School Computer Labs:
Each middle school has computer labs, except Totem Middle School. Wireless access
has been installed at all secondary schools. If additional classroom space is needed, these
computer labs may be converted to mobile carts.

High School Career Development and Learning Center (Resource) Room:
Each high school provides special education resource room and career development
classrooms for students requiring instruction to address specific disabilities.
Preschool/ECEAP/Headstart:
Our district currently offers preschool programs for both special needs & typically
developing students at 9 elementary schools. We also have the ECEAP and Headstart
program at 6 schools (4 elementary & 3 high schools). These programs decrease capacity
at those sites. The District has recently leased space to expand or possibly relocate
existing preschool programs.
Alternative Learning Experience:
Federal Way offers students the opportunity to participate in an Alternative Learning
Experience through our Internet Academy. These students have never been included in
the capacity calculation of unhoused students.

Portable Locations
The Washington State Constitution requires the State to provide each student a basic
education. It is not an efficient use of District resources to build a school with a capacity
for 500 students due to lack of space for 25 students when enrollment fluctuates throughout
the year and from year to year.
Portables are used as interim measures to house students when increasing population
impacts a school attendance area. Portables may also be required to house students when
new or changing programs require additional capacity. They also provide housing for
students until permanent facilities can be financed and constructed. When permanent
facilities become available, the portable(s) is either used for other purposes such as storage
or child care programs, or moved to another school for an interim classroom. Some
portables may not be fit to move due to age or physical condition. In these cases, the
District may choose to buy new portables and surplus these unfit portables.
The following page provides a list of the location of the portable facilities, used for
educational facilities by Federal Way Public Schools.

Student Forecast
Student enrollment projections are a basic component of budget development.
Enrollment projections influence many of the financial estimates that go into budget
preparation. The majority of staffing requirements are derived directly from the
forecasted number of students. Allocations for instructional supplies and materials are
also made on the basis of projected enrollment. Other expenditures and certain revenue
projections are directly related to enrollment projections.
Enrollment projections are completed annually in the Business Services Department.
Projections must be detailed at various levels, district total, school-building totals, grade
level and program level to include vocational and special education students.
The basis of projections has been cohort survival analysis. Cohort survival is the analysis
of a group that has a common statistical value (grade level) as it progresses through time.
In a stable population the cohort would be 1.00 for all grades. This analysis uses
historical information to develop averages and project the averages forward. This
method does not trace individual students; it is concerned with aggregate numbers in each
grade level. The district has used this method with varying years of history and weighted
factors to study several projections. Because transfers in and out of the school system are
common, student migration is factored into the analysis as it increases or decreases
survival rates. Entry grades (kindergarten) are a unique problem in cohort analysis. The
district collects information on birth rates within the district’s census tracts, and treats
these statistics as a cohort for kindergarten enrollment in the appropriate years.
The Federal Way School District is using various statistical methods for projecting
student enrollments. The resultant forecasted enrollments are evaluated below.
The first method is a statistical cohort analysis that produces ten distinct forecasts. These
are forecast of enrollment for one year. The projections vary depending on the number of
years of historical information and how they are weighted.
A second method is a projection using an enrollment projection software package that
allows the user to project independently at school or grade level and to aggregate these
projections for the district level. The Enrollment MasterTM software provides statistical
methods including trend line, standard grade progression (cohort) and combinations of
these methods. This software produces a five-year projection of school enrollment.
In December 2012, the District contracted a demographer to develop projections for the
Federal Way School District. The report was complete in March 2013. The model used
to forecast next year’s enrollment uses cohort survival rates to measure grade to grade
growth, assumes market share losses to private schools (consistent with county-wide
average), assumes growth from new housing or losses due to net losses from migration.
This forecast was provided as a range of three projections. The long-range forecast
provided with this report used a model with cohort survival rates and growth rates based
on projected changes in the 5-19 age group for King County. Most of the methods used
for long range enrollment reporting assume that enrollment is a constant percent of
FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2018 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
21
something else (e.g. population) or that enrollment will mirror some projected trend for
the school-age population over time. The report included 5 different calculations to
provide a range of possible projections for the District to the year 2023. This model
produces a projection that is between 23,000 and 24,000 when applied to the low,
medium and high range modes. This provides a reasonable range for long-range planning
and is consistent with estimates from various models. An update to the District
projections was provided in December 2016.
Long-range projections that establish the need for facilities are a modification of the
cohort survival method. The cohort method of analysis becomes less reliable the farther
out the projections are made. The Federal Way School District long-range projections
are studied annually. The study includes information from the jurisdictional
demographers as they project future housing and population in the region. The long-range
projections used by Federal Way Public Schools reflect a similar age trend in student
populations as the projections published by the Office of Financial Management for the
State of Washington.
Near term projections assume some growth from new housing, which is offset by current
local economic conditions. The District tracks new development from five permitting
jurisdictions. Long range planning assumes a student yield from proposed new housing
consistent with historical growth patterns.
Growth Management requires jurisdictions to plan for a minimum of twenty years. The
Federal Way School District is a partner in this planning with the various jurisdictions
comprising the school district geography. These projections create a vision of the school
district community in the future.

Capacity Summaries
All Grades, Elementary, Middle School, and High Schools
The Capacity Summaries combine Building Capacity information, Portable Capacity
information and the Student Forecast information. The result demonstrates the
requirements for new or remodeled facilities and why there is a need for the District to use
temporary facilities or interim measures.
The District has recently adjusted its capacity calculation method for Elementary schools
to better show capacity needed to comply with the K-3 Class Size Reduction. This
adjustment is also shown in the portable capacity calculation. In order to allow for
flexibility in portable usage the District will use an average class size calculation of 21 for
each Elementary portable and an average class size of 25 for each Middle and High School
portable.
The information is organized in spreadsheet format, with a page summarizing the entire
District, and then evaluating capacity vs. number of students at elementary, middle school,
and high school levels individually.
The notes at the bottom of each spreadsheet provide information about what facilities are
in place each year.

King County, the City of Federal Way, and the City of Kent Impact Fee Calculations
Single and Multi-Family Residences
Each jurisdiction that imposes school impact fees requires that developers pay these fees
to help cover a share of the impact of new housing developments on school facilities.
To determine an equitable fee throughout unincorporated King County, a formula was
established. This formula can be found in King County Code 21A and was substantially
adopted by the City of Federal Way and Kent. The formula requires the District to establish
a "Student Generation Factor" which estimates how many students will be added to a
school district by each new single or multi-family unit and to gather some standard
construction costs, which are unique to that district.
- STUDENT GENERATION FACTOR ANALYSIS
Federal Way Public Schools student generation factor was determined separately for
single-family units and multi-family units. The factors used in the 2018 Capital Facilities
Plan were derived using actual generation factors from single-family units and multi-family
units that were constructed in the District in the last five (5) years
- IMPACT FEE CALCULATION
On page 30, the 2018 variables for the calculation of the Impact Fee for single family and
multi-family units based on King County Code 21A and the Growth Management Act,
generate the results below:
Plan Year 2017 Plan Year 2018
Single Family Units $3,198 $6,842
Multi-Family Units $8,386 $20,086
Mixed-Use Residential1 $4,193 $10,043

SECTION 4
SUMMARY OF CHANGES FROM THE 2017 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
The 2018 Capital Facilities Plan is an updated document, based on the 2017 Capital
Facilities Plan. The changes between the 2017 Plan and the 2018 Plan are listed below.
SECTION I - THE CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
SIX-YEAR FINANCE PLAN
The Six Year Finance Plan has been rolled forward to reflect 2018-2024 and adjusted for
anticipated Federal Way High School construction schedule and anticipated new
construction based on a November 2017 bond vote. The plan is found on page 9.
SECTION III - SUPPORT DOCUMENTATION
CAPACITY
Changes to the Building Program Capacities calculation are found on page 17.
PORTABLES
The list of portables reflects the movement of portables between facilities or new portables
purchased. Portable Locations can be found on page 19.
STUDENT FORECAST
The Student Forecast now covers 2018 through 2024 Enrollment history and projections
are found on page 22.
CAPACITY SUMMARY
The changes in the Capacity Summary are a reflection of the changes in the capacities and
student forecast. New schools and increased capacity at current buildings are shown as
increases to capacity. Capacity Summaries are found on pages 24-27.
IMPACT FEE CALCULATION - KING COUNTY CODE 21A
The Impact Fees have changed as a result of changes in several factors. The updates made
to the variables in the Impact Fee calculation, generate a change in the Impact Fee between
the 2017 Capital Facilities Plan and the 2018 Capital Facilities Plan. A summary of these
changes can be found on page 32 and 33.
FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2018 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
32
IMPACT FEE CALCULATION CHANGES FROM 2017 TO 2018
STUDENT GENERATION FACTORS
Student Generation factors are based on rates for new developments constructed over a
period of not more than five years prior to the date of the fee calculation. The changes in
student Generation factors between the 2017 Capital Facilities Plan and the 2018 Capital
Facilities Plan are due to developments that were deleted or added based upon the age of
the developments and the year placed in the survey. The Student Generation worksheet
is found on page 29.
SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION COSTS
The anticipated cost based on the estimate for replacing Thomas Jefferson High is
$149,500,000. For Impact Fee calculation, the District will use the estimated Maximum
Allowable Construction Cost of $89,700,000, which is 60% of the total anticipated cost.
The replacement will add a total of 200 additional seats, with 50 seats dedicated for
preschool capacity. Only additional capacity for grade 9-12 seats will be used in the
impact fee calculation. The current permanent capacity of Thomas Jefferson High is
1309. The addition of 150 grade 9-12 seats will increase permanent capacity by 11%.
Total Cost $149,500,000 x .6 x .11 = $9,867,000
The anticipated cost based on the estimate for replacing Lake Grove, Mirror Lake,
Olympic View, Star Lake, and Wildwood elementaries is $154,500,000. For Impact Fee
calculation, the District will use the estimated Maximum Allowable Construction Cost of
$92,700,000, which is 60% of the total anticipated cost. The replacement will add a
total of 960 additional seats. The additional seats will include new preschool capacity at
Lake Grove, Mirror Lake, and Star Lake and 6-8 capacity at Olympic View, as well as
adding additional K-5 capacity. Only capacity for grade K-5 seats will be used in the
impact fee calculation. The current permanent capacity of these schools is 1902. The
addition of 800 grade K-5 seats will increase permanent capacity by 42%.
Total Cost $154,500,000 x .6 x .42 = $38,934,000
SCHOOL ACQUISITION COSTS
The district purchased the Norman Center to house the Employment Transition Program
and to allow for the expansion of the ECEAP program. The purchase and use of this site
increased our high school permanent capacity by 51 students.
Total Cost $2,100,000 / 2 = $1,050,000
Cost per Acre $1,050,000 / 4.85 = $216,718
The District will use the above formulas created as a base for the 2018 Capital Facilities
Plan. The capacity of these schools may vary from year to year as programs are added or
changed and construction cost may increase over time.

SECTION ONE: INTRODUCTION
Purpose of the Capital Føcilities PIøn
This Six-Year Capital Facilities Plan has been prepared by the Highline School District (the
"District") as the District's primary facility planning document, in compliance with the
requirements of Washington's Growth Management Act (the "GMA") and King County Council
Code Title 2lA. The Plan was prepared using data available in May 2017. The GMA outlines l3
broad goals including adequate provision of necessary public facilities and services. Schools are
among these necessary facilities and services. School districts have adopted capital facilities plans
to satisfy the requirements of RCW 36.70A.070 and to identifr additional school facilities
necessary to meet the educational needs of the growing student populations anticipated in their
districts.
The Highline School District (the "District") has prepared this Capital Facilities Plan (the "CFP")
to provide King County (the "County") and the cities of Burien, Des Moines, Kent, Normandy
Park, SeaTac, and Tukwila with a schedule and financing program for capital improvements over
the next six years (2017-2022).
This Plan will be updated annually with any changes to the impact fee schedule adjusted
accordingly.

enrollment increases since 2010. The District currently serves an approximate student population
of 19,199 (October 1,2016 enrollment) with l8 elementary schools (grades K-6), five middle level
schools (grades 7-8), and fìve high schools (grades 9-I2).In addition, the District has alternative
programs: Big Picture (MS and HS) at the Manhattan site; CHOICE Academy (MS and HS) at the
Woodside site; New Start (9-12) at the Salmon Creek Site; and Puget Sound Skills Center
("PSSC").
Over the last l4 years the District has embarked on a major capital improvement effort to enhance
its facilities to meet current educational and life-safety standards. Since 2002 the District has
passed three major capital bonds: one in 2002 for approximately $189,000,000, one in 2006 for
approximately $148,000,000, and one in 2016 for approximately 5299,850,000. The 2002 and
2006 bonds were used for replacement of existing facilities and not to accommodate increased
enrollment. The 2016 bonds are earmarked for a combination of improvements tolreplacement of
existing facilities and the provision of new capacity.
With the approved capital bond funds and reimbursements from the Office of the Superintendent
of Public Instruction, the State of Washington, the Port of Seattle, the Federal Aviation
Administration and private donations for a new Raisbeck Aviation High School the District has
designed, permitted and constructed l3 new elementary schools, I new high school, renovated 3
-l-
schools as interim facilities, and renovated portions of Memorial Field and Camp Waskowitz. All
of this work has been done since March 2002.
The District's 2016 bond proposal was based on the recommendations of a Capital Facilities
Advisory Committee ("CFAC"), a citizens' committee representing every part the District. The
committee met for a year to study the District's facilities needs, review data, such as enrollment
projections and building conditions, and analyze various solutions. CFAC developed a long- term
facilities plan, which includes the 2016 bond as the first phase of a four-phase plan to meet
students' needs overthe next20 years.
As the District looks ahead it recognizes that anticipated enrollment growth, some of which will
be caused by new development, and implementation of recent legislation will require the District
either to add new facilities, add additions to existing facilities, renovate existing facilities, or add
portables to existing facilities.
This CFP identifìes the current enrollment, the current capacity of each educational facility, the
projected enrollment over the six-year planning period and how the District plans to accommodate
this growth. [t also includes a schedule of impact fees that should be charged to new development.
Based on current projections, the District needs to add capacity at the elementary and middle
school levels to accommodate projected enrollment and implementation of recent legislation. To
address these needs, the District plans to build a new elementary to replace Des Moines Elementary
School to increase its student capacity, add classrooms at existing elementary schools, and build
one new middle school. In addition, new modular or portables may need to be added at individual
elementary schools and middle schools to accommodate future enrollment. At this time it has been
assumed that additional land will not be needed to accommodate the new schools; however, land
will be necessary in the future to support the District's long range facilities plan and the
Educational Strategic Plan.
.|
SECTION 2 _ STANDARD OF SERWCE
King County Code 21A.06 refers to a "Standard of Service" that each school district must establish
in order to ascertain its overall capacity" School facility and student capacity needs are dictated by
the types and amounts of space required to accommodate the District's adopted educational
program. The educational program standards which typically drive facility space needs include
grade configuration, optimum facility size, class size, educational program offerings, classroom
utilization and scheduling requirements, and use of relocatable classrooms (portables).
District educational program standards may change in the future as a result of changes in the
education program, special programs class sizes, grade span configurations, and use of new
technology, as well as other physical aspects of the school facilities. In addition, the State
Legislature's implementation of requirements for reduced K-3 class size will also impact school
capacity and educational program standards. (The District currently offers full-day kindergarten.)
The school capacity inventory will be reviewed periodically and adjusted for any changes to the
educational program standards. These changes will also be reflected in future updates of this CFP.
The Standard of Service outlined below reflects only those programs and educational opportunities
provided to students that directly affect the capacity of school buildings. The special programs
listed below require classroom space, thus the permanent capacity of some buildings housing these
programs has been reduced.

It is not possible to achieve 100o/o utilization of all regular teaching stations throughout the
day. Therefore, classroom capacity is adjusted using a uttlization factor of available
teaching stations depending on the physical characteristics of the facility and educational
program needs.

SECTION THREE: CAPITAL FACILITIES INVENTORY
This section provides an inventory of capital facilities owned and operated by the District including
schools and relocatable classrooms (modulars or portables). School facility capacity was
inventoried based on the space required to accommodate the District's adopted educational
program standards. See Section Two: Standard of Service. A map showing locations of District
facilities is provided in Appendix A.
Schools
See Section One for a description of the District's schools and programs.
School capacity was determined based on the number of teaching stations (or general classrooms)
within each building and the space requirements of the District's currently adopted current
educational program and intemal targets as reported in ICOS with the Office of the Superintendent
of Public Instruction. It is this capacity calculation that is used to establish the District's baseline
capacity, and to determine future capacity needs based on projected student enrollment. The
school capacity inventory is summarized in Tables 2,3, and4.
As the District implements reduced K-3 class size requirements and grade reconfiguration, the
inventory will reflect adjustments in the Standard of Service (see Tables 7-B andT-C).
Re lo c atø h le C lassroo ms (Portøb les)
Relocatable classrooms (portables) are used as interim classroom space to house students until
funding can be secured to construct permanent classrooms. The District currently uses 27
relocatable classrooms at various school sites throughout the District to provide additional interim
general classroom capacity. A typical relocatable classroom can provide capacity for a full-size
class of students. Current use of relocatable classrooms throughout the District is summarized in
Table 5.

SECTION FOUR: STUDENT ENROLLMENT TRENDS AND PROJECTIONS
Generally, enrollment projections using historical calculations are most accurate for the initial
years of the forecast period. Moving further into the future, more assumptions about economic
conditions, land use, and demographic trends in the area affect the projection. Monitoring birth
rates in the County and population growth for the area are essential yearly activities in the ongoing
management of the CFP. In the event that enrollment growth slows, plans for new facilities can be
delayed. It is much more difficult, however, to initiate new projects or expedite projects in the
event enrollment growth exceeds the projections.
With the assistance of a professional demographer, the District has developed its own methodology
for forecasting future enrollments. This methodology, a modified cohort survival method,
considers a variety of factors to evaluate the potential student population growth for the years2017
through 2022.These factors include: projected births, projected growth in the K-12 population,
and a model which considers growth in population and housing within the District's boundaries.
The methodology also considers the potential impacts on enrollment due to the recent opening of
a charter school within the District's boundaries. Certain assumptions are made regarding the
continued enrolment at the charter school. Therefore, the methodology and the resulting
projections should be considered conservative.
District enrollment has increased in recent years, including a7.2o/o increase since 2009. Using the
modified cohort survivalprojections, atotalenrollment of 20,236 students is expected in2022.In
other words, the District projects an increase of 5.4o/o in student enrollment (or 1,037 students)
between 2016 and 2022. See Appendix B (Enrollment projections from Les Kendrick, January
zvr t.)

SECTION FIVE: CAPITAL FACILITIES PROJECTIONS FOR FUTURE NEEDS
Projected future capacity needs, shown in Tables 7-A throughT-C, are derived by applying the
projected number of students to the projected permanent capacity. It is not the District's policy to
include relocatable classrooms when determining future capital facility needs; therefore, interim
capacity provided by relocatable classrooms is not included in this analysis. The District will utilize
relocatables as necessary to address interim capacity needs. Information on relocatable classrooms
by grade level and interim capacity can be found in Table 5. Information on planned construction
projects can be found in the Financing Plan, Table 8.
Recent state-level policy decisions impact the District's capacity analysis. Engrossed Senate
House Bill226l, adopted in2009, requires school districts to implement full-day kindergarten
by 2018. SHB 2776, passed in 2010, requires school districts to reduce K-3 class sizes to 17
students per teacher. Finally, in November 2015, the voters passed Initiative 1351, which
requires reduced class sizes across all grades (K-12). The District has proactively implemented
full day kindergarten, which reduced the number of available regular classrooms in elementary
schools districtwide.
Table 7 assumes that K-3 class size reduction is implemented by 2019 and that grade levels are
reconfigured to K-5, 6-8, and 9-12 in2020. All scenarios include the capacity related projects the
District is planning during the six-year planning period.
Future updates to this Plan will incorporate any funded implementation of Initiative 1351.

SECTION SIX: FINANCING PLAN
Planned Improvements
The Finance Plan focuses on capacity related projects needed to accommodate recent and projected
growth in the District.
Based upon the scenario presented in Table 3, the District will need to add permanent classroom
capacity at both the elementary school and middle school grade levels. Pursuant to the Board's
approval of the Capital Facilities Advisory Committee's final recommendations and the voters'
approval of the 2016 bond, the District will: (1) add space to the new Des Moines Elementary
School (replacement school atthe Zenith site); (2) construct new elementary school classrooms at
various sites, and (3) construct a new middle school. All new schools will be located on land
currently owned by the District.
In addition, new relocatable classrooms (portables) may need to be added at individual elementary
schools and middle schools to accommodate future enrollment or to provide interim classrooms
until permanent classroom capacity is built.
The District has identified "non-capacity" capital needs at existing schools including the
replacement of Highline High School and safety/security improvements at various schools.
F inan c i ng for P løn n ed Imp rove me nts
Funding for planned improvements is typically secured from a number of sources including voter-
approved bonds, State match funds, and impact fees.
General Obligøtion Bonds: Bonds are typically used to fund construction of new schools
and other capital improvement projects, and require a60Yo voter approval. The District's voters
in November 2016 approved by 66.99% a $299.85 million school construction bond to fund the
projects identified in this Plan.
State School Construction Assistance Program Funds: State School Construction
Assistance Program ("SCAP") Funds come from the Common School Construction Fund, which
is composed of revenues accruing predominantly from the sale of renewable resources (i.e., timber)
from State school lands set aside by the Enabling Act of 1889. If these sources are insufficient to
meet needs, the Legislature can appropriate funds or the State Board of Education can establish a
moratorium on certain projects. School districts may qualifu for State School Construction
Assistance Funds for specific capital projects based on a prioritization system.
The District received funding in the amount of $6.27 million from Senate Bill 6080 to
address a portion of the classrooms needed for implementation of reduced K-3 class sizes.
-t2-
Impact Fees: Impact fees are a means of supplementing traditional funding sources for
construction of public facilities needed to accommodate new development. See Section 7 School
Impact Fees.
The District alscl receives some funding toward school construction from the Port of
Seattle/Federal Aviation Administration. This funding applies to the Des Moines Elementary
Replacement and Addition project.
The Six-Year Financing Plan shown on Table 8 demonstrates how the District intends to fund new
construction and improvements to school facilities for the years 2017-2022. The financing
components include bonds, SCAP ftrnds, Port/FAA funds, and impact fees. The Financing Plan
separates projects and portions of projects which add capacity from those which do not, since the
latter are generally not appropriate for impact fee funding.

SECTION SEWN: SCHOOL IMPACT FEES
The GMA authorizes jurisdictions to collect impact fees to supplement funding of additional public
facilities needed to accommodate new development. Impact fees cannot be used for the operation,
maintenance, repair, alteration, or replacement of existing capital facilities used to meet existing
service demands.
Impact fees in Appendix C have been calculated utilizing the formula in the King County Code.
The resulting figures are based on the District's cost per dwelling unit to purchase land for school
sites, make site improvements, construct schools, and purchase/install relocatable classrooms
(portables). As required under the GMA, credits have also been applied in the formula to account
for State Match Funds to be reimbursed to the District and projected future property taxes to be
paid by the dwelling unit.
The District's cost per dwelling unit is derived by multiplying the cost per student by the applicable
student generation rate per dwelling unit. The student generation rate is the average number of
students generated by each housing type; in this case, single family dwellings and multi-family
dwellings. Multi-family dwellings were broken out into one-bedroom and two-plus bedroom units.
The District has developed its own student generation rute data based on actual permit data from
local jurisdictions. ^See Appendix D.
Using the variables and formula described, and applying the 50% discount rate required by the
King County School Impact Fee Ordinance, impact fees proposed as a part of this CFP, are
summarized in Table 9 below. See also Appendix C.
King County and the City of Kent currently have adopted school impact fee ordinances and collect
school impact fees on behalf of the District. The District is requesting that the other cities that it
serves consider adoption of a school impact fee ordinance.

Date of Issue: June 9, 2017
Date Published: June 9, 2017 - Auburn Reporter
SEPA ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST Purpose of checklist: Governmental agencies use this checklist to help determine whether the environmental impacts of your
proposal are significant. This information is also helpful to determine if available avoidance, minimization
or compensatory mitigation measures will address the probable significant impacts or if an environmental
impact statement will be prepared to further analyze the proposal.
Instructions for applicants:
This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Please
answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. You may need to consult
with an agency specialist or private consultant for some questions. You may use “not applicable” or
"does not apply" only when you can explain why it does not apply and not when the answer is unknown.
You may also attach or incorporate by reference additional studies reports. Complete and accurate
answers to these questions often avoid delays with the SEPA process as well as later in the decision-
making process.
The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of
time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal
or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your
answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant
adverse impact.
Instructions for Lead Agencies:
Please adjust the format of this template as needed. Additional information may be necessary to
evaluate the existing environment, all interrelated aspects of the proposal and an analysis of adverse
impacts. The checklist is considered the first but not necessarily the only source of information needed to
make an adequate threshold determination. Once a threshold determination is made, the lead agency is
responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the checklist and other supporting documents.
Use of checklist for nonproject proposals: [help]
For nonproject proposals (such as ordinances, regulations, plans and programs), complete the applicable
parts of sections A and B plus the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (part D). Please
completely answer all questions that apply and note that the words "project," "applicant," and "property or
site" should be read as "proposal," "proponent," and "affected geographic area," respectively. The lead
agency may exclude (for non-projects) questions in Part B - Environmental Elements –that do not
contribute meaningfully to the analysis of the proposal.

D. supplemental sheet for nonproject actions [help]
(IT IS NOT NECESSARY to use this sheet for project actions)
Because these questions are very general, it may be helpful to read them in conjunction
with the list of the elements of the environment.
When answering these questions, be aware of the extent the proposal, or the types of
activities likely to result from the proposal, would affect the item at a greater intensity or
at a faster rate than if the proposal were not implemented. Respond briefly and in
general terms.
1. How would the proposal be likely to increase discharge to water; emissions to air; pro-
duction, storage, or release of toxic or hazardous substances; or production of noise?
To the extent the Capital Facilities Plan makes it more likely that school facilities will
be constructed, some of these environmental impacts may be more likely. Additional
impermeable surfaces, such as roofs, access roads, and sidewalks could increase
stormwater runoff, which could enter surface or ground waters. Heating systems,
emergency generators, and other school equipment that is installed pursuant to the
Capital Facilities Plan could result in air emissions. The projects included in the
Capital Facilities Plan should not require the production, storage, or release of toxic or
hazardous substances, with the possible exception of the storage of diesel fuel or
gasoline for emergency generating equipment. The District does not anticipate a
significant increase in the production of noise from its facilities, with the possible
exception of noise production due to short-term construction activities or the presences
of additional students on a site. Construction impacts related to noise and air would be
short term and are not anticipated to be significant.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce such increases are:
Proposed measures to mitigate any such increases described above have been or will be
addressed during project-level environmental review when appropriate. Stormwater
detention and runoff will meet applicable County and/or City requirements and may be
subject to National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System ("NPDES") permitting
requirements. Discharges to air will meet applicable air pollution control requirements.
Fuel oil will be stored in accordance with local and state requirements.
2. How would the proposal be likely to affect plants, animals, fish, or marine life?
The Capital Facilities Plan itself will have no impact on these elements of the
environment. The projects included in the Capital Facilities Plan may require clearing
plants off of the project sites and a loss to animal habitat. These impacts have been or
will be addressed in more detail during project-level environmental review when
appropriate. The projects included in the Plan are not likely to generate significant
impacts on fish or marine life.
SEPA Environmental checklist (WAC 197-11-960) July 2016 Page 19 of 21
Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants, animals, fish, or marine life are:
Specific measures to protect and conserve plants, animals, and fish cannot be identified
at this time. Specific mitigation proposals will be identified, however, during project-
level environmental review when appropriate.
3. How would the proposal be likely to deplete energy or natural resources?
The construction of the projects included in the Capital Facilities Plan will require the
consumption of energy.
Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy and natural resources are:
The projects included in the Capital Facilities Plan will be constructed in accordance with
applicable energy efficiency standards.
4. How would the proposal be likely to use or affect environmentally sensitive areas or
areas designated (or eligible or under study) for governmental protection; such as parks,
wilderness, wild and scenic rivers, threatened or endangered species habitat, historic or
cultural sites, wetlands, floodplains, or prime farmlands?
The Capital Facilities Plan and individual projects contained therein should have no
impact on these resources. Specific review will be conducted, however, during project-
level environmental review.
Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid or reduce impacts are:
No specific measures are being proposed at this time. Appropriate measures have been or will
be proposed during project-level environmental review when appropriate. Updates of this Plan
will be coordinated with King County and the cities of Algona, Auburn, Black Diamond, Kent,
and Pacific as part of the Growth Management Act process, one of the purposes of which is to
protect critical areas. To the extent the District's facilities planning process is part of the overall
growth management planning process, these resources are more likely to be protected. Future
projects would comply with permitting regulations regarding environmentally sensitive areas.
5. How would the proposal be likely to affect land and shoreline use, including whether it
would allow or encourage land or shoreline uses incompatible with existing plans?
The Capital Facilities Plan will not have any impact on land or shoreline use that is incompatible
with existing comprehensive plans, land use codes, or shoreline management plans. The District
does not anticipate that the Capital Facilities Plan or the projects contained therein will affect
land and shoreline uses in the area served by the District in any manner not currently permitted
or designated for the intended use.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce shoreline and land use impacts are:
SEPA Environmental checklist (WAC 197-11-960) July 2016 Page 20 of 21
No measures to avoid or reduce land use impacts resulting from the Capital Facilities Plan or the
projects contained therein are proposed at this time.
6. How would the proposal be likely to increase demands on transportation or public
services and utilities?
The construction projects included in the Capital Facilities Plan may create temporary increases
in the District's need for public services and utilities. The new school facilities will increase the
District's demands on transportation and utilities. These increases are not expected to be
significant.
Proposed measures to reduce or respond to such demand(s) are:
No measures to reduce or respond to such demands are proposed at this time.
7. Identify, if possible, whether the proposal may conflict with local, state, or federal laws or
requirements for the protection of the environment.
The Capital Facilities Plan will not conflict with any laws or requirements for the protection of
the environment. The Washington Growth Management Act (the GMA) outlines 13 broad goals,
including adequate provision of necessary public facilities and services. Schools are among
these necessary facilities and services. The Capital Facilities Plan satisfies the requirements of
RCW 36.70A.070, and to identify additional school facilities necessary to meet the educational
needs of the growing student populations anticipated in the District.

SEPA ENVIRoNMENTAL CHECKLIST
Purpose of checklist:
Governmental agencies use this checklist to help determine whether the environmental impacts of your
proposal are significant. This information is also helpful to determine if available avoidance, minimization
or compensatory mitigation measures will address the probable significant impacts or if an environmental
impact statement will be prepared to further analyze the proposal.
I nstructi o ns for a ppl i ca nts:.
This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Please
answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. You may need to consult
with an agency specialist or private consultant for some questions. You mav use "not applicable" or
"does not applv" onlv when vou can explain whv it does not applv and not when the answer is unknown.
You may also attach or incorporate by reference additional studies reports. Complete and accurate
answers to these questions often avoid delays with the SEPA process as well as later in the decision-
making process.
The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of
time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal
or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your
answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant
adverse impact.
lnstructions for Lead Agencies:
Please adjust the format of this template as needed. Additional information may be necessary to
evaluate the existing environment, all interrelated aspects of the proposal and an analysis of adverse
impacts. The checklist is considered the first but not necessarily the only source of information needed to
make an adequate threshold determination, Once a threshold determination is made, the lead agency is
responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the checklist and other supporting documents.
Use of checklistfor nonproject proposals; [helpl
For nonproject proposals (such as ordinances, regulations, plans and programs), complete the applicable
parts of sections A and B plus the supplruerurnl sHrer ron ruorupRo¡rcr Rclorus (part D). Please
completely answer all questions that apply and note that the words "project," "applicant," and "property or
site" should be read as "proposal," "proponent," and "affected geographic area," respectively. The lead
agency may exclude (for non-projects) questions in Part B - Environmental Elements -that do not
contribute meaningfully to the analysis of the proposal.

D. supplemental sheet for nonproject actions lhetpt
(lT lS NOT NEGESSARY to use this sheet for project actions)
Because these questions are very general, it may be helpful to read them in conjunction
with the list of the elements of the environment.
When answering these questions, be aware of the extent the proposal, or the types of
activities likely to result from the proposal, would affect the item at a greater intensity or
at a faster rate than if the proposal were not implemented. Respond briefly and in
generalterms.
1. How would the proposal be likely to increase discharge to water; emissions to air; pro-
duction, storage, or release of toxic or hazardous substances; or production of noise?
To the extent the Capital Facilities Plan makes it more likely that school facilities will be constructed
and/or renovated and remodeled, some of these environmental impacts will be more likely. Additional
impermeable surfaces, such as roofs, parking lots, sidewalks, access roads, and playgrounds could
increase storm water runoff, which could enter surface or ground waters. Heating systems, emergency
generators, and other school equipment that is installed pursuant to the Capital Facilities Plan could result
in air emissions. The projects included in the Capital Facilities Plan should not require the production,
storage, or release of toxic or hazardous substances, with the possible exception of the storage of diesel
fuel or gasoline for emergency generating equipment. The District does not anticipate a significant
increase in the production of noise from its facilities, although the projects included in the Capital Facilities
Plan will increase the District's student capacities.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce such increases are:
Proposed measures to mitigate any such increases described above have been or will be addressed
during projectspecific environmental review when appropriate. Storm water detention and runoff will
meet applicable County and/or City requirements and may be subject to National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System ("NPDES") permitting requirements. Discharges to air will meet applicable air
pollution control requirements. Fuel oil will be stored in accordance with local and state requirements.
2. How would the proposal be likely to affect plants, animals, fish, or marine life?
The Capital Facilities Plan itself will have no impact on these elements of the environment. These impacts
have been or will be addressed in more detail during project-specific environmental review when
appropriate. The projects included in the Plan are not likely to generate severe impacts on fish or marine
life.
Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants, animals, fish, or marine life are:
Specific measures to protect and conserve plants, animals, and fish cannot be identified at this time.
Specific mitigation proposals have been or will be identified, however, during project-specific
environmental review when appropriate.
3. How would the proposal be likely to deplete energy or natural resources?
SEPA Environmental checklist (WAC 197-11-960)May 2014 Page 18of20
The construction of the projects included in the Capital Facilities Plan will require the consumption of
energy.
Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy and natural resources are:
The projects included in the Capital Facilities Plan will be constructed in accordance with applicable
energy efficiency standards.
4. How would the proposal be likely to use or affect environmentally sensitive areas or
areas designated (or eligible or under study) for governmental protection; such as parks,
wilderness, wild and scenic rivers, threatened or endangered species habitat, historic or
cultural sites, wetlands, floodplains, or prime farmlands?
The Capital Facilities Plan and individual projects contained therein should have no impact on these
resources.
Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid or reduce impacts are:
Appropriate measures have been or will be proposed during project-specific environmental review when
appropriate. Updates of this Plan will be coordinated with King County and the cities of Federal Way,
Kent, Des Moines, and Auburn as part of the Growth Management Act process, one of the purposes of
which is to protect environmentally sensitive areas. To the extent the District's facilities planning process
is part of the overall growth management planning process, these resources are more likely to be
protected.
5. How would the proposal be likely to affect land and shoreline use, including whether it
would allow or encourage land or shoreline uses incompatible with existing plans?
The Capital Facilities Plan will not have any impact on land or shoreline use that is incompatible with
existing comprehensive plans, land use codes, or shoreline management plans. The District does not
anticipate that the Capital Facilities Plan or the projects contained therein will directly affect land and
shoreline uses in the area served by the District.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce shoreline and land use impacts are
No measures to avoid or reduce land use impacts resulting from the Capital Facilities Plan or the projects
contained therein are proposed at this time.
6. How would the proposal be likely to increase demands on transportation or public
services and utilities?
The projects included in the Capital Facilities Plan may create temporary increases in the District's need
for public services and utilities. Upon the completion of the projects included in the Capital Facilities Plan,
however, the District does not anticipate that its need for public services and utilities will increase
substantially beyond existing levels.
Proposed measures to reduce or respond to such demand(s) are:
No measures to reduce or respond to such demands are proposed at this time
SEPA Environmental checklist (WAC 197-11-960)May 2Q14 Pagel9of20
7. ldentify, if possible, whether the proposal may conflict with local, state, or federal laws or
requirements for the protection of the environment.
The Capital Facilities Plan will not conflict with any laws or requirements for the protection of the
environment.

SEPA ENVI RoNMENTAL cHEcKLIST
Purpose of checklist:
Governmental agencies use this checklist to help determine whether the environmental impacts of your
proposal are significant. This information is also helpful to determine if available avoidance, minimization
or compensatory mitigation measures will address the probable significant impacts or if an environmental
impact statement will be prepared to further analyze the proposal.
I nstru cti on s fo r ap p I i c ants=
This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Please
answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. You may need to consult
with an agency specialist or private consultant for some questions. You mav use "not applicable" or
"does not aoolv" onlv wh en vou can exolain whv it does not aoolv and not the answer is unknown.
You may also attach or incorporate by reference additional studies reports. Complete and accurate
answers to these questions often avoid delays with the SEPA process as well as later in the decision-
making process.
The checklist questions apply to all parts of vour proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of
time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal
or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your
answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant
adverse impact.
lnstructions for Lead Agencies:
Please adjust the format of this template as needed. Additional information may be necessary to
evaluate the existing environment, all interrelated aspects of the proposal and an analysis of adverse
impacts. The checklist is considered the first but not necessarily the only source of information needed to
make an adequate threshold determination. Once a threshold determination is made, the lead agency is
responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the checklist and other supporting documents.
Use of checklist for nonproject proposals:
For nonproject proposals (such as ordinances, regulations, plans and programs), complete the applicable
parts of sections A and B plus the SUppLEMENTAL sHEET FoR NoNpRoJEcrAcloNS (part D). Please
completely answer all questions that apply and note that the words "project", "applicant", and "property or
site" should be read as "proposal", "proponent", and "affected geographic area", respectively. The lead
agency may exclude (for non-projects) questions in Part B - Environmental Elements -that do not
contribute meaningfully to the analysis of the proposal.

D. supplemental sheet for nonproject actions
(lT lS NOT NECESSARY to use this sheet for project actions)
Because these questions are very general, it may be helpfulto read them in conjunction
with the list of the elements of the environment.
When answering these questions, be aware of the extent the proposal, or the types of
activities likely to result from the proposal, would affect the item at a greater intensity or
at a faster rate than if the proposal were not implemented. Respond briefly and in
generalterms.
1. How would the proposal be likely to increase discharge to water; emissions to air; pro-
duction, storage, or release of toxic or hazardous substances; or production of noise?
To the extent the Capital Facilities Plan makes it more likely that school facilities will
be constructed, some of these environmental impacts may be more likely. Additional
impermeable surfaces, such as rooß, access roads, and sidewalks could increase
stormwater runoft which could enter surface or ground waters. Heating systems,
emergency generators, and other school equipment that is installed pursuant to the
Capital Facilities Plan could result in air emissions. The projects included in the
Capital Facilities Plan should not require the production, storage, or release of toxic or
hazardous substances, with the possible exception of the storage of diesel fuel or
gasoline for emergency generating equipment. The District does not anticipate a
significant increase in the production of noise from its facilities, with the possible
exception of noise production due to short-term construction activities or the presences
of additional students on a site. Construction impacts related to noise and air would be
short term and are not anticipated to be significant.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce such increases are:
Proposed measures to mitigate any such increases described above have been or will be
addressed during project-level environmental review when appropriate. Stormwater
detention and runoff will meet applicable County and/or City requirements and may be
subject to National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System ("NPDES") permitting
requirements. Discharges to air will meet applicable air pollution control requirements.
Fuel oil will be stored in accordance with local and state requirements.
2. How would the proposal be likely to affect plants, animals, fish, or marine life?
The Capital Facilities Plan itself will have no impact on these elements of the
environment. The projects included in the Capital Facilities Plan may require clearing
plants off of the project sites and a loss to animal habitat. These impacts have been or
will be addressed in more detail during project-level environmental review when
appropriate. The projects included in the Plan are not likely to generate significant
impacts on fish or marine life.
SEPA Environmental Checklist (WAC 197-1 1 -960)May 2017 Page 18 of20
Proposed measures to protect or conserye plants, animals, fish, or marine life are:
Specific measures to protect and conserve plants, animals, and fish cannot be identified
at this time. Specific mitigation proposals will be identifîed, however, during project-
level environmental review when appropriate.
3. How would the proposal be likely to deplete energy or natural resources?
The construction of the projects included in the Capital Facilities Plan will require the
consumption of energy.
Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy and natural resources are:
The projects included in the Capital Facilities Plan will be constructed in accordance with
applicable energy efficiency standards.
4. How would the proposal be likely to use or affect environmentally sensitive areas or
areas designated (or eligible or under study) for governmental protection; such as parks,
wilderness, wild and scenic rivers, threatened or endangered species habitat, historic or
cultural sites, wetlands, floodplains, or prime farmlands?
The Capital Facilities Plan and individual projects contained therein should have no
impact on these resources. Specific review will be conducted, however, during project-
level environmental review.
Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid or reduce impacts are:
No specific measures are being proposed at this time. Appropriate measures have been or will be
proposed during project-level environmental review when appropriate. Updates of this Plan will
be coordinated with King County and the cities of Burien, Des Moines, Kent, Normandy Park,
SeaTac, and Tukwila as part of the Growth Management Act process, one ofthe purposes of which
is to protect critical areas. To the extent the District's facilities planning process is part of the
overall growth management planning process, these resources are more likely to be protected.
Future projects would comply with permitting regulations regarding environmentally sensitive
areas.
5. How would the proposal be likely to affect land and shoreline use, including whether it
would allow or encourage land or shorelíne uses incompatible with existing plans?
The Capital Facilities Plan will not have any impact on land or shoreline use that is incompatible
with existing comprehensive plans, land use codes, or shoreline management plans. The District
does not anticipate that the Capital Facilities Plan or the projects contained therein will affect land
and shoreline uses in the area served by the District in any manner not currently permitted or
designated for the intended use.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce shoreline and land use impacts are:
SEPA Environmental Checklist (WAC 197-1 1-960)May 2017 Page19of20
No measures to avoid or reduce land use impacts resulting from the Capital Facilities Plan or the
projects contained therein are proposed at this time.
6. How would the proposal be likely to increase demands on transportation or public
services and utilities?
The construction projects included in the Capital Facilities Plan may create temporary increases
in the District's need for public services and utilities. The new school facilities will increase the
District's demands on transportation and utilities. These increases are not expected to be
significant.
Proposed measures to reduce or respond to such demand(s) are:
No measures to reduce or respond to such demands are proposed at this time.
7. ldentify, if possible, whether the proposal may conflict with local, state, or federal laws or
requirements for the protection of the environment.
The Capital Facilities Plan will not conflict with any laws or requirements for the protection of
the environment. The Washington Growth Management Act (the GMA) outlines 13 broad goals,
including adequate provision of necessary public facilities and services. Schools are among
these necessary facilities and services. The Capital Facilities Plan satisfies the requirements of
RCW 36.70A.070, and to identifr additional school facilities necessary to meet the educational
needs of the growing student populations anticipated in the District.

[ 2002 c 154 § 1; 1990 1st ex.s. c 17 § 2.]
RCW 36.70A.070
Comprehensive plans—Mandatory elements.
*** CHANGE IN 2017 *** (SEE 5517.SL) ***
*** CHANGE IN 2017 *** (SEE 5790-S.SL) ***
The comprehensive plan of a county or city that is required or chooses to plan under
RCW 36.70A.040 shall consist of a map or maps, and descriptive text covering objectives,
principles, and standards used to develop the comprehensive plan. The plan shall be an
internally consistent document and all elements shall be consistent with the future land use
map. A comprehensive plan shall be adopted and amended with public participation as provided
in RCW 36.70A.140. Each comprehensive plan shall include a plan, scheme, or design for each
of the following:
(1) A land use element designating the proposed general distribution and general location
and extent of the uses of land, where appropriate, for agriculture, timber production, housing,
commerce, industry, recreation, open spaces, general aviation airports, public utilities, public
facilities, and other land uses. The land use element shall include population densities, building
intensities, and estimates of future population growth. The land use element shall provide for
protection of the quality and quantity of groundwater used for public water supplies. Wherever
possible, the land use element should consider utilizing urban planning approaches that
promote physical activity. Where applicable, the land use element shall review drainage,
flooding, and stormwater runoff in the area and nearby jurisdictions and provide guidance for
corrective actions to mitigate or cleanse those discharges that pollute waters of the state,
including Puget Sound or waters entering Puget Sound.
(2) A housing element ensuring the vitality and character of established residential
neighborhoods that: (a) Includes an inventory and analysis of existing and projected housing
needs that identifies the number of housing units necessary to manage projected growth; (b)
includes a statement of goals, policies, objectives, and mandatory provisions for the
preservation, improvement, and development of housing, including single-family residences; (c)
identifies sufficient land for housing, including, but not limited to, government-assisted housing,
housing for low-income families, manufactured housing, multifamily housing, and group homes
and foster care facilities; and (d) makes adequate provisions for existing and projected needs of
all economic segments of the community.
(3) A capital facilities plan element consisting of: (a) An inventory of existing capital facilities
owned by public entities, showing the locations and capacities of the capital facilities; (b) a
forecast of the future needs for such capital facilities; (c) the proposed locations and capacities
of expanded or new capital facilities; (d) at least a six-year plan that will finance such capital
facilities within projected funding capacities and clearly identifies sources of public money for
such purposes; and (e) a requirement to reassess the land use element if probable funding falls
short of meeting existing needs and to ensure that the land use element, capital facilities plan
element, and financing plan within the capital facilities plan element are coordinated and
consistent. Park and recreation facilities shall be included in the capital facilities plan element.
(4) A utilities element consisting of the general location, proposed location, and capacity of
all existing and proposed utilities, including, but not limited to, electrical lines, telecommunication
lines, and natural gas lines.
(5) Rural element. Counties shall include a rural element including lands that are not
designated for urban growth, agriculture, forest, or mineral resources. The following provisions
shall apply to the rural element:
(a) Growth management act goals and local circumstances. Because circumstances vary
from county to county, in establishing patterns of rural densities and uses, a county may
consider local circumstances, but shall develop a written record explaining how the rural
element harmonizes the planning goals in RCW 36.70A.020 and meets the requirements of this
chapter.
(b) Rural development. The rural element shall permit rural development, forestry, and
agriculture in rural areas. The rural element shall provide for a variety of rural densities, uses,
essential public facilities, and rural governmental services needed to serve the permitted
densities and uses. To achieve a variety of rural densities and uses, counties may provide for
clustering, density transfer, design guidelines, conservation easements, and other innovative
techniques that will accommodate appropriate rural economic advancement, densities, and
uses that are not characterized by urban growth and that are consistent with rural character.
(c) Measures governing rural development. The rural element shall include measures that
apply to rural development and protect the rural character of the area, as established by the
county, by:
(i) Containing or otherwise controlling rural development;
(ii) Assuring visual compatibility of rural development with the surrounding rural area;
(iii) Reducing the inappropriate conversion of undeveloped land into sprawling, low-density
development in the rural area;
(iv) Protecting critical areas, as provided in RCW 36.70A.060, and surface water and
groundwater resources; and
(v) Protecting against conflicts with the use of agricultural, forest, and mineral resource lands
designated under RCW 36.70A.170.
(d) Limited areas of more intensive rural development. Subject to the requirements of this
subsection and except as otherwise specifically provided in this subsection (5)(d), the rural
element may allow for limited areas of more intensive rural development, including necessary
public facilities and public services to serve the limited area as follows:
(i) Rural development consisting of the infill, development, or redevelopment of existing
commercial, industrial, residential, or mixed-use areas, whether characterized as shoreline
development, villages, hamlets, rural activity centers, or crossroads developments.
(A) A commercial, industrial, residential, shoreline, or mixed-use area are subject to the
requirements of (d)(iv) of this subsection, but are not subject to the requirements of (c)(ii) and
(iii) of this subsection.
(B) Any development or redevelopment other than an industrial area or an industrial use
within a mixed-use area or an industrial area under this subsection (5)(d)(i) must be principally
designed to serve the existing and projected rural population.
(C) Any development or redevelopment in terms of building size, scale, use, or intensity
shall be consistent with the character of the existing areas. Development and redevelopment
may include changes in use from vacant land or a previously existing use so long as the new
use conforms to the requirements of this subsection (5);
(ii) The intensification of development on lots containing, or new development of, small-scale
recreational or tourist uses, including commercial facilities to serve those recreational or tourist
uses, that rely on a rural location and setting, but that do not include new residential
development. A small-scale recreation or tourist use is not required to be principally designed to
serve the existing and projected rural population. Public services and public facilities shall be
limited to those necessary to serve the recreation or tourist use and shall be provided in a
manner that does not permit low-density sprawl;
(iii) The intensification of development on lots containing isolated nonresidential uses or new
development of isolated cottage industries and isolated small-scale businesses that are not
principally designed to serve the existing and projected rural population and nonresidential
uses, but do provide job opportunities for rural residents. Rural counties may allow the
expansion of small-scale businesses as long as those small-scale businesses conform with the
rural character of the area as defined by the local government according to
RCW 36.70A.030(15). Rural counties may also allow new small-scale businesses to utilize a
site previously occupied by an existing business as long as the new small-scale business
conforms to the rural character of the area as defined by the local government according to
RCW 36.70A.030(15). Public services and public facilities shall be limited to those necessary to
serve the isolated nonresidential use and shall be provided in a manner that does not permit
low-density sprawl;
(iv) A county shall adopt measures to minimize and contain the existing areas or uses of
more intensive rural development, as appropriate, authorized under this subsection. Lands
included in such existing areas or uses shall not extend beyond the logical outer boundary of
the existing area or use, thereby allowing a new pattern of low-density sprawl. Existing areas
are those that are clearly identifiable and contained and where there is a logical boundary
delineated predominately by the built environment, but that may also include undeveloped lands
if limited as provided in this subsection. The county shall establish the logical outer boundary of
an area of more intensive rural development. In establishing the logical outer boundary, the
county shall address (A) the need to preserve the character of existing natural neighborhoods
and communities, (B) physical boundaries, such as bodies of water, streets and highways, and
land forms and contours, (C) the prevention of abnormally irregular boundaries, and (D) the
ability to provide public facilities and public services in a manner that does not permit low-
density sprawl;
(v) For purposes of (d) of this subsection, an existing area or existing use is one that was in
existence:
(A) On July 1, 1990, in a county that was initially required to plan under all of the provisions
of this chapter;
(B) On the date the county adopted a resolution under RCW 36.70A.040(2), in a county that
is planning under all of the provisions of this chapter under RCW 36.70A.040(2); or
(C) On the date the office of financial management certifies the county's population as
provided in RCW 36.70A.040(5), in a county that is planning under all of the provisions of this
chapter pursuant to RCW 36.70A.040(5).
(e) Exception. This subsection shall not be interpreted to permit in the rural area a major
industrial development or a master planned resort unless otherwise specifically permitted under
RCW 36.70A.360 and 36.70A.365.
(6) A transportation element that implements, and is consistent with, the land use element.
(a) The transportation element shall include the following subelements:
(i) Land use assumptions used in estimating travel;
(ii) Estimated traffic impacts to state-owned transportation facilities resulting from land use
assumptions to assist the department of transportation in monitoring the performance of state
facilities, to plan improvements for the facilities, and to assess the impact of land-use decisions
on state-owned transportation facilities;
(iii) Facilities and services needs, including:
(A) An inventory of air, water, and ground transportation facilities and services, including
transit alignments and general aviation airport facilities, to define existing capital facilities and
travel levels as a basis for future planning. This inventory must include state-owned
transportation facilities within the city or county's jurisdictional boundaries;
(B) Level of service standards for all locally owned arterials and transit routes to serve as a
gauge to judge performance of the system. These standards should be regionally coordinated;
(C) For state-owned transportation facilities, level of service standards for highways, as
prescribed in chapters 47.06 and47.80 RCW, to gauge the performance of the system. The
purposes of reflecting level of service standards for state highways in the local comprehensive
plan are to monitor the performance of the system, to evaluate improvement strategies, and to
facilitate coordination between the county's or city's six-year street, road, or transit program and
the office of financial management's ten-year investment program. The concurrency
requirements of (b) of this subsection do not apply to transportation facilities and services of
statewide significance except for counties consisting of islands whose only connection to the
mainland are state highways or ferry routes. In these island counties, state highways and ferry
route capacity must be a factor in meeting the concurrency requirements in (b) of this
subsection;
(D) Specific actions and requirements for bringing into compliance locally owned
transportation facilities or services that are below an established level of service standard;
(E) Forecasts of traffic for at least ten years based on the adopted land use plan to provide
information on the location, timing, and capacity needs of future growth;
(F) Identification of state and local system needs to meet current and future demands.
Identified needs on state-owned transportation facilities must be consistent with the statewide
multimodal transportation plan required under chapter 47.06RCW;
(iv) Finance, including:
(A) An analysis of funding capability to judge needs against probable funding resources;
(B) A multiyear financing plan based on the needs identified in the comprehensive plan, the
appropriate parts of which shall serve as the basis for the six-year street, road, or transit
program required by RCW 35.77.010 for cities, RCW 36.81.121 for counties, and
RCW 35.58.2795 for public transportation systems. The multiyear financing plan should be
coordinated with the ten-year investment program developed by the office of financial
management as required by RCW 47.05.030;
(C) If probable funding falls short of meeting identified needs, a discussion of how additional
funding will be raised, or how land use assumptions will be reassessed to ensure that level of
service standards will be met;
(v) Intergovernmental coordination efforts, including an assessment of the impacts of the
transportation plan and land use assumptions on the transportation systems of adjacent
jurisdictions;
(vi) Demand-management strategies;
(vii) Pedestrian and bicycle component to include collaborative efforts to identify and
designate planned improvements for pedestrian and bicycle facilities and corridors that address
and encourage enhanced community access and promote healthy lifestyles.
(b) After adoption of the comprehensive plan by jurisdictions required to plan or who choose
to plan under RCW36.70A.040, local jurisdictions must adopt and enforce ordinances which
prohibit development approval if the development causes the level of service on a locally owned
transportation facility to decline below the standards adopted in the transportation element of
the comprehensive plan, unless transportation improvements or strategies to accommodate the
impacts of development are made concurrent with the development. These strategies may
include increased public transportation service, ride-sharing programs, demand management,
and other transportation systems management strategies. For the purposes of this subsection
(6), "concurrent with the development" means that improvements or strategies are in place at
the time of development, or that a financial commitment is in place to complete the
improvements or strategies within six years. If the collection of impact fees is delayed under
RCW 82.02.050(3), the six-year period required by this subsection (6)(b) must begin after full
payment of all impact fees is due to the county or city.
(c) The transportation element described in this subsection (6), the six-year plans required
by RCW 35.77.010 for cities, RCW 36.81.121 for counties, and RCW 35.58.2795 for public
transportation systems, and the ten-year investment program required by RCW 47.05.030 for
the state, must be consistent.
(7) An economic development element establishing local goals, policies, objectives, and
provisions for economic growth and vitality and a high quality of life. The element may include
the provisions in *section 3 of this act. A city that has chosen to be a residential community is
exempt from the economic development element requirement of this subsection.
(8) A park and recreation element that implements, and is consistent with, the capital
facilities plan element as it relates to park and recreation facilities. The element shall include: (a)
Estimates of park and recreation demand for at least a ten-year period; (b) an evaluation of
facilities and service needs; and (c) an evaluation of intergovernmental coordination
opportunities to provide regional approaches for meeting park and recreational demand.
(9) It is the intent that new or amended elements required after January 1, 2002, be adopted
concurrent with the scheduled update provided in RCW 36.70A.130. Requirements to
incorporate any such new or amended elements shall be null and void until funds sufficient to
cover applicable local government costs are appropriated and distributed by the state at least
two years before local government must update comprehensive plans as required in
RCW 36.70A.130.

Impact fees—Intent—Limitations.
(1) It is the intent of the legislature:
(a) To ensure that adequate facilities are available to serve new growth and development;
(b) To promote orderly growth and development by establishing standards by which
counties, cities, and towns may require, by ordinance, that new growth and development pay a
proportionate share of the cost of new facilities needed to serve new growth and development;
and
(c) To ensure that impact fees are imposed through established procedures and criteria so
that specific developments do not pay arbitrary fees or duplicative fees for the same impact.
(2) Counties, cities, and towns that are required or choose to plan under
RCW 36.70A.040 are authorized to impose impact fees on development activity as part of the
financing for public facilities, provided that the financing for system improvements to serve new
development must provide for a balance between impact fees and other sources of public funds
and cannot rely solely on impact fees.
(3)(a)(i) Counties, cities, and towns collecting impact fees must, by September 1, 2016,
adopt and maintain a system for the deferred collection of impact fees for single-family detached
and attached residential construction. The deferral system must include a process by which an
applicant for a building permit for a single-family detached or attached residence may request a
deferral of the full impact fee payment. The deferral system offered by a county, city, or town
under this subsection (3) must include one or more of the following options:
(A) Deferring collection of the impact fee payment until final inspection;
(B) Deferring collection of the impact fee payment until certificate of occupancy or equivalent
certification; or
(C) Deferring collection of the impact fee payment until the time of closing of the first sale of
the property occurring after the issuance of the applicable building permit.
(ii) Counties, cities, and towns utilizing the deferral process required by this subsection (3)(a)
may withhold certification of final inspection, certificate of occupancy, or equivalent certification
until the impact fees have been paid in full.
(iii) The amount of impact fees that may be deferred under this subsection (3) must be
determined by the fees in effect at the time the applicant applies for a deferral.
(iv) Unless an agreement to the contrary is reached between the buyer and seller, the
payment of impact fees due at closing of a sale must be made from the seller's proceeds. In the
absence of an agreement to the contrary, the seller bears strict liability for the payment of the
impact fees.
(b) The term of an impact fee deferral under this subsection (3) may not exceed eighteen
months from the date of building permit issuance.
(c) Except as may otherwise be authorized in accordance with (f) of this subsection (3), an
applicant seeking a deferral under this subsection (3) must grant and record a deferred impact
fee lien against the property in favor of the county, city, or town in the amount of the deferred
impact fee. The deferred impact fee lien, which must include the legal description, tax account
number, and address of the property, must also be:
(i) In a form approved by the county, city, or town;
(ii) Signed by all owners of the property, with all signatures acknowledged as required for a
deed, and recorded in the county where the property is located;
(iii) Binding on all successors in title after the recordation; and
(iv) Junior and subordinate to one mortgage for the purpose of construction upon the same
real property granted by the person who applied for the deferral of impact fees.
(d)(i) If impact fees are not paid in accordance with a deferral authorized by this subsection
(3), and in accordance with the term provisions established in (b) of this subsection (3), the
county, city, or town may institute foreclosure proceedings in accordance with
chapter 61.12 RCW.
(ii) If the county, city, or town does not institute foreclosure proceedings for unpaid school
impact fees within forty-five days after receiving notice from a school district requesting that it do
so, the district may institute foreclosure proceedings with respect to the unpaid impact fees.
(e)(i) Upon receipt of final payment of all deferred impact fees for a property, the county, city,
or town must execute a release of deferred impact fee lien for the property. The property owner
at the time of the release, at his or her expense, is responsible for recording the lien release.
(ii) The extinguishment of a deferred impact fee lien by the foreclosure of a lien having
priority does not affect the obligation to pay the impact fees as a condition of final inspection,
certificate of occupancy, or equivalent certification, or at the time of closing of the first sale.
(f) A county, city, or town with an impact fee deferral process on or before April 1, 2015, is
exempt from the requirements of this subsection (3) if the deferral process delays all impact
fees and remains in effect after September 1, 2016.
(g)(i) Each applicant for a single-family residential construction permit, in accordance with
his or her contractor registration number or other unique identification number, is entitled to
annually receive deferrals under this subsection (3) for the first twenty single-family residential
construction building permits per county, city, or town. A county, city, or town, however, may
elect, by ordinance, to defer more than twenty single-family residential construction building
permits for an applicant. If the county, city, or town collects impact fees on behalf of one or more
school districts for which the collection of impact fees could be delayed, the county, city, or town
must consult with the district or districts about the additional deferrals. A county, city, or town
considering additional deferrals must give substantial weight to recommendations of each
applicable school district regarding the number of additional deferrals. If the county, city, or town
disagrees with the recommendations of one or more school districts, the county, city, or town
must provide the district or districts with a written rationale for its decision.
(ii) For purposes of this subsection (3)(g), an "applicant" includes an entity that controls the
applicant, is controlled by the applicant, or is under common control with the applicant.
(h) Counties, cities, and towns may collect reasonable administrative fees to implement this
subsection (3) from permit applicants who are seeking to delay the payment of impact fees
under this subsection (3).
(i) In accordance with RCW 44.28.812 and 43.31.980, counties, cities, and towns must
cooperate with and provide requested data, materials, and assistance to the department of
commerce and the joint legislative audit and review committee.
(4) The impact fees:
(a) Shall only be imposed for system improvements that are reasonably related to the new
development;
(b) Shall not exceed a proportionate share of the costs of system improvements that are
reasonably related to the new development; and
(c) Shall be used for system improvements that will reasonably benefit the new
development.
(5)(a) Impact fees may be collected and spent only for the public facilities defined in
RCW 82.02.090 which are addressed by a capital facilities plan element of a comprehensive
land use plan adopted pursuant to the provisions of RCW 36.70A.070 or the provisions for
comprehensive plan adoption contained in chapter 36.70, 35.63, or 35A.63 RCW. After the date
a county, city, or town is required to adopt its development regulations under
chapter 36.70A RCW, continued authorization to collect and expend impact fees is contingent
on the county, city, or town adopting or revising a comprehensive plan in compliance with
RCW 36.70A.070, and on the capital facilities plan identifying:
(i) Deficiencies in public facilities serving existing development and the means by which
existing deficiencies will be eliminated within a reasonable period of time;
(ii) Additional demands placed on existing public facilities by new development; and
(iii) Additional public facility improvements required to serve new development.
(b) If the capital facilities plan of the county, city, or town is complete other than for the
inclusion of those elements which are the responsibility of a special district, the county, city, or
town may impose impact fees to address those public facility needs for which the county, city, or
town is responsible.

KENT CITY CODE
12.13.060 Submission of district capital facilities plan and data.
A. On an annual basis, the district shall submit the following materials to the city
council:
1. The district’s capital facilities plan (as defined in KCC 12.13.010 herein)
and adopted by the school board;
2. The district’s enrollment projections over the next six (6) years, its current
enrollment and the district’s enrollment projections and actual enrollment
from the previous year;
3. The district’s standard of service;
4. The district’s overall capacity over the next six (6) years, which shall take
into account the available capacity from school facilities planned by the
district but not yet built and be a function of the district’s standard of service
as measured by the number of students which can be housed in district
facilities;
5. An inventory of the district’s existing facilities.
B. To the extent that the district’s standard of service identifies a deficiency in its
existing facilities, the district’s capital facilities plan must identify the sources of
funding other than impact fees, for building or acquiring the necessary facilities to
serve the existing student population in order to eliminate the deficiencies within a
reasonable period of time.
C. Facilities to meet future demand shall be designed to meet the adopted standard
of service. If sufficient funding is not projected to be available to fully fund a capital
facilities plan which meets the adopted standard of service, the district’s capital
facilities plan should document the reason for the funding gap, and identify all
sources of funding that the district plans to use to meet the adopted standard of
service.
D. The district shall also submit an annual report to the city council showing the
capital improvements which were serviced in whole or in part by the impact fees.
E. In its development of the financing plan component of the capital facilities plan,
the district shall plan on a six (6) year horizon and shall demonstrate its best efforts
by taking the following steps:
1. Establish a six (6) year financing plan, and propose the necessary bond
issues and levies required by and consistent with that plan and as-approved
by the school board consistent with RCW 28A.53.020, 84.52.052
and 84.52.056 as amended; and
2. Apply to the state for funding, and comply with the state requirements for
eligibility to the best of the district’s ability.
(Ord. No. 3260, § 1, 12-19-95)
12.13.070 Annual council review.
On at least an annual basis, the city council shall review the information submitted
by the district pursuant to KCC 12.13.060(A) herein. The review shall occur in
conjunction with any update of the capital facilities plan element of the city’s
comprehensive plan.
(Ord. No. 3260, § 1, 12-19-95)
12.13.080 Impact fee program elements.
A. Impact fees will be assessed on every new dwelling unit in the district for which
a fee schedule has been established.
B. Impact fees will be imposed on a district by district basis, on behalf of any school
district which provides to the city a capital facilities plan, the district’s standards of
service for the various grade spans, estimates of the cost of providing needed
facilities and other capital improvements, and the data from the district called for
by the formula in KCC 12.13.140. Any impact fee imposed shall be reasonably
related to the impact caused by the development, and shall not exceed a
proportionate share of the cost of system improvements that are reasonably related
to the development. The impact fee formula shall account in the fee calculation for
future revenue the district will receive from the development. The ordinance
adopting the fee schedule shall specify under what circumstances the fee may be
adjusted in the interests of fairness.
C. The impact fee shall be based on the capital facilities plan developed by the
district and approved by the school board, and adopted by reference by the city as
part of the capital facilities element of the comprehensive plan for the purpose of
establishing the fee program.
(Ord. No. 3260, § 1, 12-19-95)
12.13.090 Fee calculations.
A. The fee shall be calculated based on the formula set out in KCC 12.13.140.
B. Separate fees shall be calculated for single-family and multifamily types of
dwelling units, and separate student generation rates must be determined by the
district for each type of dwelling unit. For the purpose of this chapter, mobile homes
shall be treated as single-family dwellings and duplexes shall be treated as
multifamily dwellings.
C. The fee shall be calculated on a district-wide basis using the appropriate factors
and data to be supplied by the district, as indicated in KCC 12.13.140. The fee
calculations shall also be made on a district-wide basis to assure maximum
utilization of all school facilities in the district used currently or within the last two
(2) years for instructional purposes.
D. The formula in KCC 12.13.140 provides a credit for the anticipated tax
contributions that would be made by the developments based on historical levels of
voter support for bond issues in the district.
E. The formula also provides for a credit for school facilities or sites actually
provided by a developer which the district finds acceptable.
F. The city may also impose an application fee to cover the reasonable costs of
administration of the impact fee program.
(Ord. No. 3260, § 1, 12-19-95)
12.13.140 Formula for determining school impact fees.
A. School impact fees shall be determined as follows:
IF:
A = Student factor for dwelling unit type and grade span x site cost per student for
sites for facilities in that grade span = Full cost fee for site acquisition cost
B = Student factor for dwelling unit type and grade span x school construction cost
per student for facilities in that grade span x ratio of district’s square footage of
permanent facilities to total square footage of facilities = Full cost fee for school
construction
C = Student factor for dwelling unit type and grade span x relocatable facilities cost
per student for facilities in that grade span x ratio of district’s square footage of
relocatable facilities to total square footage of facilities = Full cost fee for
relocatable facilities
D = Student factor for dwelling unit type and grade span “Boeckh Index” x SPI
square ft per student factor x state match % = State match credit, and
A1, B1, C1, D1 = A, B, C, D for elementary grade spans
A2, B2, C2, D2 = A, B, C, D, for middle/junior high grade spans
A3, B3, C3, D3 = A, B, C, D for high school grade spans
TC = Tax payment credit = The net present value of the average assessed value in
the district for unit type x current school district capital property tax levy rate,
using a ten (10) year discount period and current interest rate (based on the bond
buyer twenty (20) bond general obligation bond index)
FC = Facilities credit = the per-dwelling-unit value of any site or facilities provided
directly by the development
Then the unfunded need = UN = A1 + . . . + C3 (D1-D2-D3) – TC
And the developer fee obligation = F = U/N2
And the net fee obligation = NF = F – FC
B. Notes to formula.
1. Student factors are to be provided by the district based on district records
of average actual student generation rates for new developments constructed
over a period of not more than five (5) years prior to the date of the fee
calculation; if such information is not available in the district, data from
adjacent districts, districts with similar demographics, or countywide
averages must be used. Student factors must be separately determined for
single-family and multifamily dwelling units, and for grade spans.
2. The “Boeckh index” is a construction trade index of construction costs for
various kinds of buildings; it is adjusted annually.
3. The district is to provide its own site and facilities standards and projected
costs to be used in the formula, consistent with the requirements of this
chapter.
4. The formula can be applied by using the following table:
Table for Calculating School Impact Fee Obligations for Residential Dwelling Units
(to be separately calculated for single-family and multifamily units)
A1= Elementary school site cost per student x the student factor =
A2= Middle/junior high site cost per student x the student factor =
A3= High school site cost per student x the student factor =
A= A1 + A2 + A3 =
B1= Elementary school construction cost per student x the student factor =
B2= Middle/junior high construction cost per student x the student factor =
B3= High school construction cost per student x the student factor =
B= (B1 + B2 + B3) x square footage of permanent facilities
total square footage of facilities
=
C1= Elementary school relocatable facility cost per student x the student factor =
C2= Middle/junior high relocatable facility cost per student x the student factor =
C3= High school relocatable facility cost per student x the student factor =
C= (C1 + C2 + C3) x square footage of permanent facilities
total square footage of facilities
=
D1= Boeckh index x SPI square footage per student for elementary school x
state match % x student factor
=
D2= Boeckh index x SPI square footage per student for middle/junior high
school x state match % x student factor

SUBJECT: Ordinance Accepting Transfer of Control of Astound Broadband to
Radiate Hold Co – Adopt
SUMMARY: Pursuant to state law, the City cannot pass a franchise ordinance the
same day it is introduced. Although this is an indirect change of control of an existing
franchise, staff recommended introducing the indirect change of control of the
franchise at the October 3, 2017, meeting and setting it up for passage at the October
17, 2017, meeting.
On April 7, 2015, the City adopted Ordinance No. 4144, effective April 15, 2015,
granting a nonexclusive telecommunications franchise to Astound Broadband, LLC
d/b/a Wave (“Franchisee”) to operate a telecommunications system within the City.
On May 18, 2017, Radiate Holdco, LLC (“Radiate”) entered into an agreement to
acquire all of the outstanding membership interests of Wave Holdco, LLC, which is the
parent company of Franchisee. This is considered an indirect change of control
because the transaction occurs on the parent company level and the franchise itself
will continue to be held by Astound.
Section 28 of the franchise requires that the City approve the indirect transfer of
control. Following this indirect change of control, the Franchisee will continue to
remain bound by the terms of the franchise and will continue to remain responsible for
the obligations within the franchise. The consent of the City to the indirect change of
control shall not constitute a waiver or release of any rights the City may have under
the franchise.

Susan Machler requested reappointment to the Arts Commission having enjoyed her
time as a commissioner. She finds each meeting a confirmation that Kent is a leader
in building the entire community, including the appreciation and support of arts and
cultural activities. In the larger community that has loud and negative voices about
how public commitment to art is a waste of taxpayer dollars, she is proud that the city
of Kent continues to make visual and performance art available to the Kent
community.
Linda Mackintosh requested reappointment to the Arts Commission to continue her
work for the Kent Community. Linda has enjoyed her experience and time serving as
an Arts Commissioner and is delighted that the city of Kent makes such a valuable
investment in the Kent Community.
Hal O’Brien requested reappointment to the Arts Commission. Hal is a Mill Creek
resident who has a long standing interest in the arts. Hal is an avid photographer, has
sung in choirs starting in the 4th grade until after college and enjoyed acting in plays
during his high school and college years. Hal loves to travel and makes sure he
experiences art galleries around the world. Hal believes very strongly in the potential

of the arts in making communities more convivial - being a source of both aspiration
and fulfillment.
Suzanne Smith requested reappointment as she believes representation on city
commissions from all geographic areas of Kent is important to civic engagement of
these communities. She believes the Arts Commission is instrumental in making art a
part of our daily lives with installations throughout the city and city parks, which
improves our quality of life and enhances an aesthetic environment for all residents of
Kent. She will continue the wonderful work the commission does so residents can
enjoy live performances through our Spotlight Series and the summer concerts
series. In addition, and most importantly, introducing Kent's children to art, music,
and theater with our children’s Wednesday Picnic Performances during the summer
and Kids Arts Day.

SUBJECT: Sounder Access Improvement Project Recommendation – Authorize
SUMMARY: Sound Transit restored funding for the Kent Station Access
Improvements project in 2016; the project was initially authorized in 2008, and
suspended in 2010 as a result of the recession. A new parking structure is the main
project component, but pedestrian and non-motorized improvements will be included
as well. ECD staff continues to partner with Sound Transit staff to ensure that the
project is consistent with City of Kent long-term goals and that implemented
improvements enhance the character of Kent’s downtown. Sound Transit engaged in
extensive public outreach including open houses, stakeholder meetings, and a
technical advisory committee to guide selection of site alternatives. Staff worked with
Sound Transit staff and consultants to narrow the list of alternatives to four sites.
Based on the findings of Sound Transit’s alternatives analysis, alignment with city
vision and goals, stakeholder, community, , staff and Economic and Community
Development Committee recommendations, the City Council recommends Site 3 for
the parking garage location.

Re: Sound Transit Sounder Access Improvements Project
Dear Sound Transit Board Members:
We are writing to express our support for Site 3, depicted in the attached map/ as the
preferred location for the second Sounder garage and non-motorized access improvements
in downtown Kent. We submit this letter for your consideration in advance of the November
16 Sound Transit Board meeting, at which you are scheduled to select the Board's preferred
alternative. We recommend Site 3 because it optimizes opportunities to advance our
community's vision for our downtown as a transit-oriented and pedestrian-first
environment. It promotes the use of transit by a) integrating with existing transit
infrastructure, b) offering sufficient space and des¡gn flexibillty to maximize the number of
new parking spaces constructed, c) increasing convenience for our many East Hill
commuters, and d) opening up new opportunities for improved pedestrian and bicycle
connections.
We offer the following reasons for our recommendation
Stakeholder interests
City staff worked alongside nearby business and property owners, transit users, and
neighbors as they debated the merits of each of the sites. Overwhelmingly,
stakeholders and members of the public participating in open house events preferred
Site 3 for the parking garage and access improvements.
Access from neighborhoods to the east
Sound Transit's ridership data show that most Sounder riders in Kent come from the
east side of the railroad tracks. The existing garage is on the west side, requiring
commuters from the east to cross the railroad tracks before parking. These riders are
all-too:often delayed in getting to their parking space or on their return home when
they have to stop for trains blocking the intersections at E Smith and E James Streets
To ease the impact of blocking trains, and reduce congestion and travel time to the
parking garage, the City has been interested in seeing Sound Transit build a new
garage on the east side of the railroad tracks, Site 3 meets this need,
Connection to Kent's transit center
Kent is pleased to see transit ridership continue to grow, We are seeing more and more
standing-room-only trains, as Sound Transit reports rapid and sustained growth in
ridership on the Sounder commuter rail. Meanwhile, King County Metro also continues
to see growth in the use of its bus routes. This rapid growth underscores the
importance of integrating new transit infrastructure with existing facilities to create a
cohesive, multi-modal "transit center" in Kent's downtown.
Mnvon Suzrrre Coorr
King County Metro has already targeted portions of Site 3 for pedestrian access
improvements, including sidewalk and lighting upgrades. Adopting Site 3 as the
preferred site for the new parking garage and non-motorized access improvements will
help to ensure that investments by the two transit agencies are well-coordinated and
take advantage of potential efficiencies.
Transit-Oriented Development (TOD)
Kent's vision for Downtown includes a mix of retail, commercial and residential uses in
the form of transit-oriented development (TOD) in close proximity to high-capacity
transit. Some sites evaluated during the alternatives analysis phase of this process
may be feasible for a garage from an engineering and design perspective, but could use
land that would be more valuable as TOD. Based on an evaluation by Sound Transit's
TOD experts, Site 3 is unlikely to attract TOD. This is due in part to the proximity of
portions of the site to the railroad tracks and its distance from amenities. Therefore,
the risk of displacing future opportunities for TOD would be relatively low for Site 3.
Opportunities to improve compatibility of close-in properties
We recognize the presence of agricultural processing and industrial uses in Kent's
history, but Kent's Downtown has evolved since the 1940's and 1950's, Warehousing
and distribution uses are no longer compatible with the vision of transit-oriented
development, Siting a parking garage and non-motorized access improvements on
"Site 3" could integrate the site currently occupied by the Washington Cold Storage
facility with surrounding mixed-use development.
The City of Kent anxiously awaits the realization of the Sounder Access Improvements
Project at the Kent Sounder Station in our downtown. This package of improvements, and
particularly the parking garage¡ has been much anticipated since its initial authorization
through the public vote for Sound Transit 2 funding in 2008. We appreciate the
consideration the Board gives to the interests of the local jurisdictions affected by Sound
Transit projects, and look forward to working with you and your staff as this project moves
forward.
Sincerely,Sincerely,
Suzette Cooke

6.2 Each new Other Provider shall be solely responsible for the cost of
locating and placing its equipment on the Property. The Other Provider shall also be
responsible for any liabilities that arise from the Other Provider's use of the Property.
7. Net Lease. Landlord shall not be required to make any expenditures of any
kind in connection with this Lease or to make any repairs or improvements to the Premises,
with the exception that Landlord is solely responsible for the maintenance of its personal
property located on the Property and the Easements, unless the Landlord's personal
property and/or Easements are damaged by Tenant or Tenant's agents, employees,
licensees or contractors. The parties agree that this is a net Lease intended to assure
Landlord the Rent on an absolute net basis.
B. Maintenance.
8.1. Tenant shall, at its own expense, maintain the Premises (less reasonable
wear and tear or loss by casualty or other causes beyond Tenant's reasonable control), and
all of Tenant's Improvements, equipment, and other personal property on the Premises in
good working order, condition and repair, including any new landscaping that may be
required through the permitting process. Tenant shall keep the Premises free of debris and
anything of a dangerous, noxious or offensive nature or which would create a hazard or
undue vibration, heat, noise or interference thereon. Tenant shall remove graffiti at its own
cost within fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt of written notice to remove by Landlord.
Landlord may remove graffiti, at its own cost, without notice to Tenant. Tenant shall install,

LEASE AGREEMENT AT CAMBRIDGE TANK - Page 5 of 25
(Landlord: City of Kent; Tenant: King County for PSERN)(2017)
King County Lease #: PSERN-12
King County Site Name: Cambridge
take action necessary to abate the threat and shall give Tenant notice of such actions taken
as soon as is reasonably possible thereafter.
9. Access. Landlord and its agents shall have the right to enter the Premises at
all reasonable times, upon not less than two (2) business days'e-mailed notice to Tenant's
authorized representative, so that Tenant may accompany Landlord, to examine and inspect
the Premises; provided, however, that in no event will Landlord, its employees, agents or
contractors remove, relocate, alter, modify or otherwise tamper with Tenant's
Improvements. Tenant shall have 24-hours-a-day, 7-days-a-week access to the Premises,
including by foot, motor vehicle or by air over or along the Easements generally depicted in
Exhibit B.
10. Utilities. Tenant shall, at its expense, separately meter charges for the
consumption of electricity and other utilities associated with its use of the Premises and
shall timely pay all costs associated therewith.
11. License Fees. Tenant shall pay, as they become due and payable, all fees,
charges, taxes and expenses required for licenses and/or permits required for or occasioned
by Tenant's use of the Premises and Easements.
L2. Approvals; Compliance with Laws. Tenant's use of the Premises and
Easements is contingent upon its obtaining all certificates, permits, zoning, and other
approvals that may be required by any federal, state or local authority. Tenant shall erect,
maintain and operate the Improvements in accordance with all applicable communication
site standards, statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations now in effect or that may be
issued thereafter by the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC"), or other federal or
state governmental agency.
13. Interference.
13.1 Tenant's installation, operation, and maintenance of the Improvements
shall not damage or interfere in any way with Landlord's activities on the Property. Landlord
shall be the sole judge of interference caused to the Landlord's radio frequency ("RF')
transmissions and receptions on the Property (outside of the Premises); provided Landlord
shall make all determinations regarding the cause of any such RF interference based on
independent review by experts in the field of RF interference. Tenant agrees to correct,
within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of written notice of interference from Landlord,
all such actions that materially interfere with Landlord's use of the Property. If the
interference cannot be corrected without Tenant's wireless signal coverage goals from the
Premises being materially impaired, Tenant shall have the right to terminate the Lease.
I3.2 Before approving the placement of the Improvements, Landlord may
obtain, at Tenant's expense, an interference study indicating whether Tenant's intended use
will interfere with any existing communications facilities on the Property.
13.3 In the event that an Other Provider requests a lease from Landlord to
place any type of antennae or transmission facility on the Property, excluding the Premises,
Landlord shall submit a proposal complete with all technical specifications reasonably
LEASE AGREEMENT AT CAMBRIDGE TANK - Page 6 of 25
(Landlord: City of Kent; Tenant: King County for PSERN)(2017)
King County Lease #: PSERN-12
King County Site Name: Cambridge
requested by Tenant to Tenant for review for noninterference; however, Landlord shall not
be required to provide Tenant with any spec¡fications or information claimed to be of a
proprietary nature by any third party. The Other Provider shall be responsible for the
reasonable cost of preparing the technical specifications for its proposed transmission
facility. Tenant shall have forty-five (45) calendar days following receipt of any proposal to
make any objections thereto, and failure to make any objection within this forty-five (45)
day period shall constitute consent by Tenant to the installation of antennae or transmission
facilities pursuant to said proposal. If Tenant gives notice of objection due to interference
during this forty-five (45) day period and Tenant's objections are verified by Landlord to be
valid, then Landlord shall not proceed with such proposal unless the Other Provider modifies
the proposal in a manner determined, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, to adequately
eliminate reasonable interference concerns asserted by Tenant. If the Other Provider
actually interferes with the operations of Tenant, Landlord shall make good faith efforts to
have the Other Provider cease operations until the interference can be eliminated. A
governmental unit may be allowed to place antennae or other communications facilities on
the Property, excluding the Premises, as long as there is no interference with Tenant's use.
L4. Default. It shall be a default if:
L4.L Tenant fails to pay Rent or any other sums payable to Landlord when
due, and does not cure such default within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of written
notice;
L4.2 Tenant removes its Improvements on the Premises for a period longer
than six (6) consecutive months and fails to replace them during this time period;
L4.3 Tenant fails, at any time during this Lease, to conform or comply with
any local land use, regulatory, or building permit conditions issued by the City of Kent in
connection with the construction, operation, or maintenance of Tenant's Improvements
contemplated in this Lease, and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after receipt
of written notice; provided, however, that Tenant will not be in default under this subsection
if it begins to cure the alleged failure within the thirty (30) day period and thereafter
diligently prosecutes the cure to completion;
I4.4 Tenant is finally adjudicated as bankrupt or makes any assignment for
the benefit of creditors;
L4.5 Tenant becomes insolvent;
L4.6 Either party fails to perform any other covenant or condition of this Lease
and does not cure such default within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of written notice
specifying the failure at issue; provided, however, that neither party will be in non-monetary
default under this subsection if it begins to cure the alleged default within the thirty (30)
day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the cure to completion; or
L4.7 Tenant fails at any time to maintain insurance as required in Section 21
of this Lease and the attached Exhibit E and this failure is not cured within fifteen (15)
days following Tenant's receipt of written notice of this failure.

Lease, the non-defaulting party ffiây, at any time after the specified notice period has run,

defaulting party is compelled to pay or elects to pay any sum of money or to do any act that
will require the payment of any sum of money or is compelled to incur any expense,
including reasonable attorney fees in instituting, prosecuting or defending any action to
enforce the non-defaulting party's rights under this Lease, the sums so paid, with all
interest, costs and damages shall be due from the defaulting party within thirty (30) days
following the defaulting party's receipt of an invoice together with reasonable supporting
documentation evidencing the sums and expense, If the defaulting party disputes the
appropriateness of the interest, costs and damages in good faith, the defaulting party will
pay the interest, costs and damages "under protest". Any payment under protest shall not
be considered an admission of liability or a waiver of rights under this Lease, and the
payment shall be subject to refund if the defaulting party's position is upheld by a court of
com petent jurisdiction.

WSDOT that the CONTRACTOR had an excusable reason for not performing, such as events which are not
the fault of or are beyond the control of the CONTRACTOR, such as a strike, fire or flood, WSDOT may : (a)
allow the CONTRACTOR to continue work after setting up a new delivery of performance schedule, or (b)
treat the termination as a termination for convenience.
C. WSDOT, in its sole discretion may, in the case of a termination for breach or default, allow the

SUBJECT: Grievance Procedure – Americans with Disabilities Act – Authorize
SUMMARY: Local governments with 50 or more employees are required to adopt and
publish procedures for resolving grievances arising under Title II of the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA). Grievance procedures set out a system for resolving complaints
of discrimination in a prompt and fair manner.
These procedures may be used by anyone who wishes to file a complaint alleging
discrimination on the basis of disability in the provision of services, activities,
programs, or benefits by the City of Kent. The procedures do not deny the right of the
complainant to file formal complaints with other state or federal agencies or to seek
private counsel for complaints alleging discrimination or unaccommodated barriers to
access.
In addition to the Grievance Procedure, City staff developed an Accessibility Request
that will be added to the website and used by the public to submit accessibility
requests for a wide variety of issues directly to the ADA Coordinator. The ADA
Coordinator would then send the request to the applicable department to investigate
the issue. Every effort will be made to resolve complaints informally and expediently
at the city level based on requests for accommodation.

included in the Clark Springs Habitat Conservation Plan as a criterion to determine the
City’s augmentation of flows in Rock Creek from October through December.
This agreement will provide for operation, maintenance, and data collection at six
gages. Two are located on Mill Creek, one on Springbrook Creek, two on Rock Creek,
and one on the Green River.

SUBJECT: Internal Financing – Phase 1 LID 363 Project – Ordinance – Adopt
SUMMARY: Internal financing for Phase 1 of Public Works LID 363 224th Street
Project in an amount of $3,200,000 will be funded from the Sewerage Operating Fund.
The interfund loan will be paid back in annual installments of $350,306.58 over a
period not to exceed 10 years. The source of funds is future LID 363 collections. LID
363 collections are scheduled through 2027 with an average annual payment to the
City of $527,000. Annual debt payments will be made by the finance department from
those LID collections. The debt service schedule is set forth in Exhibit A, which is
attached and incorporated into the ordinance.
Unless modified by the City Council, the term of the internal financing shall not exceed
10 years and the annual interest rate is to be the higher of 1.68% or the annualized
interest rate earned on the investments in the Local Government Investment Pool. The
interest rate will be reviewed at the end of each fiscal year and the debt service
recalculated if necessary. There is no penalty for early payment of the debt. Any
payment above the required annual amount of $350,306.58 will be applied to principal
and interest on outstanding principal will be recalculated.
As provided in the City’s new Debt Management Policy, the City will issue long-term
debt for capital projects which cannot reasonably be financed on a pay-as-you-go
funding strategy from anticipated cash flows. The City may issue interfund loans
rather than outside debt as a means of financing capital improvements. The issuance
of an interfund loan is permissible only after an analysis of the loaning fund indicates
that excess funds are available and the use of these funds will not impact the loaning
fund’s current operations or constitute a permanent diversion of funds.

INTERAGENCY AGREEMENT
BETWEEN ÏHE
WASHINGTON TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION
AND
City of Kent
THIS AGREEMENï is made and entered into by and between the Washington Traffic Safety Commission, hereinafter referred to as
'WTSC," and City of Kent, hereinafter referred to as "SUB-RECIPIENT.'
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the terms, conditions, covenants, and performance contained herein, or attached and
incorporated and made a part hereof, the parties mutually agree as follows:
1. PURPOSE OF THEAGREEMENT:
The purpose of this Agreement is to provide funding, provided by the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and allowed under the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) #20.608,
for traffic safety grant project AG -1826-Kent Municipal DUI Court,
2. PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE
The period of performance of this Agreement shall commence upon the date of execution by both parties, but not earlier than
October 1 , 2017 , and remain in effect until September 30, 2018 unless terminated sooner, as provided herein.
3. STATEMENT OF WORK
The SUB-RECIPIENT shall carry out the provisions of the traffic safety project described here as the Statement of Work (SOW).
Summary; Proposal Detaíls: Kent Municipal Court has implemented a therapeutic DUI court utilizing the 10 guiding principles
page 1 of 17
established by the National Center for DUI Courts. Our target population of high risk/high need offenders will be better served
through our DUI court, which will utilize intensive supervision and monitoring, with an emphasis on treatment and recovery in order
to reduce recidivism, reduce traffic fatalities and injuries, and reduce the cost of lengthy incarcerations.
Problems to be addressed: DUI offenders with multiple prior convictions pose a serious danger to our community. Currently, our
jurisdiction uses incarceration as the sole means of protecting our community from these offenders. This model does not address
the underlying issues of dependency and addiction and therefore does not create long term success for the defendant or the
community. Our DUI court will reduce traffic fatalities and injuries caused by drivers under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, by
reducing recidivism for out most dangerous offenders. Use of DUI courts is considered a proven strategy to control repeat offenders
under the Target Zero Plan. By focusing our attention on high risk/high need offenders, we believe we will have the most success in
reach long term adherence to recovery and thereby increase public safety and decrease recidivism.
Goals of the Project:
Utilize a therapeutic DUI court to address the danger that high need/high risk offenders pose to our community. Continued
development and operation of a DUI court is critical as long-term incarceration does not reduce recidivism for those who have an
alcohol/dependence diagnosis. DUI court will emphasize treatment and intense supervision for our participants and hence improve
their adherence to recovery, while increasing community safety,
Operate a comprehensive and intensive program to reduce the incidence of impaired driving. This will be accomplished through
immediate screening, timely and accurate alcohol/drug assessments, mandatory sentencing into DUI court, and intense supervision
and monitoring of repeat DUI offenders in accordance with Washington State's TrafficZero Plan (5.18). This goalwill achieve
reductions in recidivism for high need/high risk offenders by integrating the criminal justice system and treatment systems to reach
greater participant success in recovery; provide intensive court and probation supervision by incorporating frequent alcohol and
drug testing, and lastly to establish a financial support system to provide resources to participants on an as needed basis for the
initial alcohol/drug assessments, transportation, alcohol and drug testing, and other various from of support identified.
Shift our current court culture away from lengthy jail sentences towards focusíng on recovery through individualized treatment
success, thereby reducing the average number of days served in jail for these offenders while improving public safety and offender
accountability.
Strategies Used to Accomplish our Goals
Continued development of our specialized therapeutic DUI court, utilizing the 10 guiding principles emphasized at our training and
assuring fidelity to the DUI court model (Target Zero 5.1.A2).
Develop and strictly adhere to a system of centralized screening, assessment, referral and monitoring system for high need/high
risk DUI target population.

SUBJECT: Assignment of accesso ShoWare Lease between the Seattle
Thunderbirds and City of Kent – Approve
SUMMARY: On August 7, 2007, the City entered a 30-year License Agreement with
Thunderbird Hockey Enterprises, LLC, which owns the Thunderbirds Hockey Team
franchise (Team). The Team is a member of the Western Hockey League (WHL). The
License Agreement, which was amended in the spring of 2012, defines the relationship
between the City and the Team for the Team’s use of the accesso ShoWare Center.
Section 11.5 of the License Agreement provides that the owners may not transfer
their rights or responsibilities under the License Agreement to another entity without
the consent of the City, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned, or delayed.
Recently, the owners of Thunderbird’s Hockey Enterprises, LLC, entered negotiations
with the owners of Silent Aire-USA, Inc., for the sale of the Team franchise. After
reaching an agreement in principal, the WHL, which must approve all franchise
ownership transfers, began its due diligence review of the financial soundness of the
proposed new owners, the ability of the prospective owners to comply with WHL
requirements, and their willingness and ability to comply with the commitments of the
current owners. In a September 29, 2017 memo, Bob Benson on behalf of the WHL
reported that as a condition of approval of the transfer, the WHL would require the
new owners to fully comply with the License Agreement with the City, as well as other
terms designed to lend stability to the franchise in Kent. The memo also reported
that the WHL determined the prospective owners to have substantial net income and
strong enterprise value. The memo also informed the City that the prospective
owners intend to retain the current owners for two and three years to manage the
daily operations of the team.
On October 4, 2017, the Western Hockey League Board of Governors unanimously
approved the transfer of ownership to Silent Ice, Inc., a corporation established by the
owners of Silent-Aire-USA to own and manage the Team. The transfer of ownership
will become final upon the City providing its consent.

MEMORANDUM
TO: The City of Kent
FROM: Silent Ice USA, Inc.
RE: City Consent to Change in Ownership Pursuant to License Agreement by and between the
City of Kent and Thunderbird Hockey Enterprises, LLC (as amended)
DAN AND LINDSEY LECKELT
Dan and Lindsey Leckelt are Canadian entrepreneurs and owners of the Silent-Aire group of
companies, with operations in Edmonton, Alberta; Seattle, Washington; Gilbert, Arizona; Ashburn,
Virginia; & Dublin, Ireland. Silent-Aire is a global HVAC and data center manufacturing company with
Seattle-area based clients that include two of the world’s largest hyperscale cloud providers.
Additionally, over 50 schools in Washington State utilize Silent-Aire HVAC equipment.
COMMITMENT TO THE CITY OF KENT, WA
Current leadership of the Thunderbirds is remaining in place. We have the mandate and expectation
that the team will continue operations and community involvement at or above past levels. It should
be noted that the Franchise Ownership Transfer Agreement with the WHL has this mandate as a
stipulation. The current facility (accesso ShoWare Center) is considered to be “top in class” in the
WHL, and we are proud to call the facility our home for the next 20+ years. The facility and strong
relationship with the City are a large part of the reason the new ownership group made this
investment in the Thunderbirds. Further, note that the Leckelts have begun the process of looking for
a house in the City of Kent. The owners have several other investments in and around the Seattle
area, and are looking to expand their community involvement in the future.
SILENT ICE USA, INC
Silent Ice USA, Inc. is a newly formed C-Corp incorporated to hold the interest in Thunderbirds
Hockey Enterprises, LLC. This the new entity was incorporated for the following reasons;
- Operational Separation – It is important to separate hockey operations from other operations.
- Taxes – Silent Ice USA, Inc has been set up as a U.S. corporation for U.S. income tax
purposes.
- Branding – Silent Ice USA, Inc. is a subsidiary of Lindan Equities USA, Inc., the primary U.S.
holding company of Dan and Lindsey Leckelt. An additional holding company (Silent Ice Inc.)
was put in place strictly for branding of their current hockey operations in Canada. The Silent
Ice group has significant investment in Canada and is growing, and keeping the brand that
has been established is important. Having the U.S. entity provides a structure for further
investment in U.S. operations in the future while meeting the above goals.
It should be noted that the owners of Silent Ice USA, Inc. have substantial strength and resources
behind them. An extensive amount of due diligence was performed by the WHL during the sale
process, and we understand a memorandum summarizing its findings and noting its approval of the
transfer has been provided to the City.
Sincerely,
Dan Leckelt Lindsey Leckelt
