Finance Director Aaron BeMiller brought forward a request to approve an

Sewerage Operating Fund and will be paid back in installments of $350,306.58
over a period of ten years. The annual interest rate is to be the higher of 1.68
percent or the annualized interest rate earned on the investments in the Local
Government Investment Pool.
The loan request was initially presented at the September 11 Public Works
Committee meeting as an information only item.
B. Boyce moved to recommend Council adopt an ordinance approving the
internal financing for Phase 1 of the LID 363 Project in an amount not to
exceed $3,200,000. L. Thomas seconded the motion, which passed 3-0.
8. City of Kent Fund Balance Policy – Information Only.
Mr. BeMiller provided members with the newly updated fund balance policy. In
2012, through Resolution 1859, councilmembers established and approved the
financial policies which included fund balance policy language for several
funds, including the general fund. Over the past year, finance staff has been
working on updating the established 2012 fund balance policy by using the
Government Finance Officers Association best practices, which includes
periodic review to address areas in need of modification/clarification.
The new fund balance policy establishes fund balance levels for city funds for
the purpose of addressing unanticipated and non-recurring operational needs.
The policy addresses the appropriate uses of fund balance, the need for
repayment plans should fund balance fall below the minimum level, and the
need for long-term financial planning in the event of operational restructuring
necessitating the use of fund balances. The policy also sets the activities for
which fund balance levels above the minimum balance at the end of the fiscal
year may be used.
9. July Financial Report – Information Only.
Mr. BeMiller reported an overall positive budget variance of $2.7 million. The
2017 budget reflects an expected use of $2.4 million of fund balance, including
$2 million for Parks capital projects. The budgeted use of fund balance is offset
by the positive budget variance of $2.7 million, creating a net surplus of
$305,000. General Fund Reserves are estimated to end the year at $17.9
million, or 18.6 percent of estimated 2017 expenditures. The following
highlights were reported:

Operations Committee

Approval Pending
Page 3 of 3
Revenues are estimated to end the year at nearly $2.6 million or 2.7 percent
higher than budgeted.
Expenditures through July show all departments are remaining fairly close to
budget with an overall favorable budget variance of $172,000 or 0.2 percent.
10. Director’s Report – Information Only.
Mr. BeMiller updated members on the State Auditor’s Office (SAO) two-part
finding regarding the Brownsfield grant, they are:
Timely payments of bills from vendors: a department within the city was
not doing that as timely as should be. Finance will be working with that
department to continue to improve in that area.
Federal funded programs: staff has to ensure vendors being used are
not on the suspension and disbarment list. The documentation that was
needed to prove that step had been taken could not be located.
Overall, both the City and SAO feel this was a good collaborative process to
complete the audit. The exit conference was Friday, September 22.
11. Non-Represented Salary Survey – Information Only.
Human Resources (HR) Director Marty Fisher provided information of what’s
been learned since the September 5, 2017 non-represented salary survey
presentation. The Labor Classification and Compensation division of the HR
department have reviewed all processes and calculations related to salary. Two
key discrepancies were found that need to be corrected, they are:
Two additional non-represented classifications were found to be under
market average: a parks superintendent going up one range and four
HR managers going up one range.
Processes used for calculating target market averages for AFSME
salaries included flat increases. The non-represented calculations did not
include the 2018 cost-of-living projections (flat increases). Once the flat
increases were taken out of the AFSME salaries and recalculated it was
found that nine AFSME positions need a one-range increase to bring up
to market level.
12. Adjournment.
The meeting was adjourned at 4:50 p.m. by D. Ralph.

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,

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
7
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.
Ongoing self-assessment of program efficiency through frequent team strategy meetings, participant feedback and continued
training.

SUBJECT: DUI Court - Information Only

SUMMARY: Kent Municipal Court wants to establish a DUI Therapeutic Court,
which would be the first municipal DUI Court in Washington State.
DUI courts are criminal justice courts that bring together drug and alcohol treatment and
the criminal justice system with the goal of reducing recidivism in DUI offenders.
Approximately 400 DUI courts and over 2000 drug court operate in the United States.
The main goal of a DUI court is to create safer roads and save lives by reducing or
eliminating repeat DUI offenses. These courts utilize increased supervision, frequent
alcohol monitoring, and driver's license reinstatement plans. Prosecutors and defense
attorneys modify their traditional adversarial roles to support treatment and supervision
needs of program participants.
DUI courts have been shown to be effective in reducing recidivism (in DUI and other
crimes) and in reducing taxpayer costs due to fewer re-arrests, less jail time and less time
in prison (Carey, S.M., Fuller,8.,E., Kissick, K.,Taylor, E,, &Zold-Kilbourn, P. (2008).
Michigan DUI Courts Outcome Evaluation, final report, submitted to Michigan Supreme
Court.)
It is anticipated that our court would target individuals who have been charged with a DUI
related offense and have two or more príor DUI related offenses in their criminal history.
These repeat offenders would enter into DUI Court post-conviction.
In 2015, there would have been 41 people who would have been eligible for DUI Court,
Between January 1 - May 29,2OL6,117 DUI related cases were filed in Kent Municipal
Court. Of those 117 cases, 15 defendants had two or more prior DUI or DUI related
convictions in their criminal history.

Funding is currently available to the City to pay for the development of a DUI Court. The
Washington Traffic Safety Commission (WTSC) has funding available to us for training and
startup funds. The Kent Municipal Court will receive funding to send a team to observe a
court in Washington (likely Spokane District Court) and to send a team (Judge; Probation
Officer; Prosecutor; Defense Attorney) to three day training in California towards the end
of 2016. The cost of the out of state training will likely be $12,000-$16,000. WTSC
would also assist with startup funds, which for the first year is estimated to be $50,000 -
$75,000. Those funds could start as early as October 2076. These funds would be used
to pay for increased drug testing, drug and alcohol assessments, and other costs incurred
from increased supervision.
After the initial observation/training and startup cost investment by the WTSC, Kent would
then submit a project proposal to the WTSC (RFP opens L2/20L6) for FFY18 which starts
October L, 20L7 . At that point, we would request the amount of funding we believed
necessary for the first full year of DUI Court operation. Average requests for this first
year are in the $75,000 range. It's hard to say how much Kent will need the first year.
The following is an example of a common DUI court WSTC funding grid. This is a draft
outline of what the budget could look like for a Kent DUI Court.
