5. Contract with JCI Jones Chemicals, Inc. for 2018 Water Treatment
Chemical Supply - Recommend
Sean Bauer, Water Manager stated that the city annually advertises for water
treatment supply chemicals to ensure a consistent cost for budget planning. The use
of these chemicals is required to produce drinking water quality that meets state
and federal regulations for drinking water standards.
Bauer noted that treatment chemicals are used to treat potable drinking water for
the City’s water customers. Gas chlorine is used to disinfect the water supply and
protect it from contamination; Sodium Hydroxide is used in the water system as a
pH adjustment for corrosion control.
Committee member Ralph MOVED to recommend council authorize the
Mayor to sign the 2018 Water Treatment Chemical Supply Agreement with
JCI Jones Chemicals, Inc. for Gas Chlorine and 25% Sodium Hydroxide, in
an amount not to exceed $120,505.00, subject to final terms and conditions

SECONDED by Committee member Fincher. The motion PASSED 3 - 0.
6. Kent Water System Plan Extension - Recommend
Evan Swanson, Water Quality Inspector noted that staff is currently working with a
consultant to complete the 2018 Kent Water System Plan. Due to the extensive data
collection and modeling required as part of preparing the plan, we anticipate that the
final plan will not be completed until late 2018. At the request of the Washington State
Department of Health, we are submitting an extension request.
Committee member Fincher MOVED to Move to recommend Council
authorize the Mayor to approve a 2-year Extension Request for the Kent

7. S 22th Street Jorgensen Steel Improvements Right-of-Way Dedication
- Recommend
Phil Anderson Property Supervisor noted that improvements to 88th Avenue South and
South 218th Street will be constructed as part of the South 224th Street Improvement
Project and will provide widened shoulders and a two-way left-turn turn lane, as well as
curbs, gutters, and sidewalks.
Anderson noted that the city purchased property from the Earl M. Jorgensen
Company. The dedication of roadway Right-of-Way is necessary to complete the
project and to provide for the installation of franchised utilities. After Right-of-Way
dedication, the remaining portion of the Jorgensen site will be used for a stormwater
management for the project. It was noted that 80th Avenue South will be closed for
18 months to 2 years.
Committee member Ralph MOVED to recommend Council authorize the
Mayor to sign the deed dedicating Right-of-Way for the South 224th Street
Improvement Project, subject to final terms and conditions acceptable to
the City Attorney and Public Works Director. The motion was SECONDED by
Committee member and PASSED Fincher. The motion PASSED 3 – 0.
8. Information Only/Renaming S. 238th Street to Honor “Oberto”
Chad Bieren, Deputy Public Works Director / City Engineer introduced Steve Haft,
Sr. Vice President of Human Resources at Oberto. Mr. Haft gave a brief history of
the Oberto Company and discussed the company’s request to rename the street.
9. Information Only/TeamUP2CleanUpKent
Gina Hungerford, Conservation Coordinator noted that the TeamUp2CleanUpKent
event that took place on October 14, had nearly 60 volunteers, of whom 75% were
enthusiastic local high school students. In talking with the students, we learned that
a number of them had been requested by their Civics teachers not only to
participate, but to do a video for a presentation in class to report on the impact that
their participation made at the event and in the community. We were totally
impressed. These students made a difference!
The next “TeamUp2CleanUpKent” event is planned for April/May 2018.
The Recycling Event, which occurred on Saturday October 21, at Hogan Park had
an amazing 1,232 cars come through the event bringing an estimated 70 tons of
material, including appliances, tires, concrete/asphalt, Styrofoam & documents to
shred.
Curbside Cleanup - started today for residents whose yard waste collection day is
this Monday, and will continue through November 17. Residents can place up to ten
32-gallon units of extra garbage and yard waste at the curb at no additional charge,
but only on your normal yard waste collection day.
10. Information Only/Beaver Dams
Matt Knox, Environmental Engineering Supervisor noted that staff encounter beaver
activity at a number of locations throughout our watercourses in the city. In some
instances beavers will block a large culvert or watercourse which can cause water to
flood over a roadway.
When these situations occur, such as on South 282nd Street the road driving surface
and sidewalk can be damaged requiring emergency closure and extensive repairs.
Beaver activities which cause inundation over roadways, trails, and other public (or
4
private) facilities do create a budget impact. Damage is estimated on a case by case
basis. We do not have a cumulative estimate at this time for active locations.
11. Information Only/ Meet Me on Meeker Design and Construction
Standards
Hayley Bonsteel, Senior Long Range Planner gave an update on the Meet Me on
Meeker draft design and construction standards are undergoing extensive staff
review. Comments by staff have focused on improving clarity, as well as remedying
errors and inconsistencies. Staff have also been discussing comments and
suggestions for improving project feasibility. Substantial changes are in the works
but a new draft is not yet prepared.
At the November 6th meeting, staff will discuss integration with the historic
downtown standards and the recommendations of the Kent Downtown Partnership.
KDP has selected from the Meeker streetscape elements those options that will fit
better with the look of historic downtown, and has suggested these for a “transition
zone” between the highway overpass and 4th Avenue, east of which would revert to
the historic standards. Staff and consultants are supportive of the idea and the
specific choices, and are working to integrate this information into the standards.
Staff will also discuss the types of comments from staff that have been resolved,
and will explain an upcoming staff and consultant effort to resolve the remaining
comments. Staff look forward to bringing a finalized draft (including changes made
based on the upcoming effort) to the next PWC meeting on November 20th. In the
meantime, staff will be available to answer questions and discuss the work at the
November 6th PWC meeting.
12. Information Only/Quiet Zone
Chad Bieren, Deputy Public Works Director/City Engineer noted that he will be at the
Council Workshop to discuss the preliminary $2 million price tag of the Quiet Zone
and we will be able to talk about the diagnostic meetings that will be held with the
Union Pacific on November 14, and Burlington Northern on November 15.
Bieren went on to state that we have the agreement with the Union Pacific that is on
the consent calendar for Tuesday, November 6, 2017, that’ll get us going on the
design of the facilities at Meeker Street and Union Pacific. And then the two
diagnostic studies, if there are major changes to what we have done in the past we
will be able to report those, and if not we will be prepared to move forward on the
channelization changes we’ve talked about for several months now.
Higgins brought up the funding and noted that he recalled that we were being overly
conservative with the dollar amounts. Bieren stated that the $3 million amount was
an older number and that it was somewhere in the range of $2-4 million because we
didn’t know what kind of agreement we would have with the railroads. So when we
came back in the summer and thought it would be more like $2 million based on the
updated information from the Union Pacific on the intertie. Then assuming based on
the diagnostic studies we can continue to move forward without additional work in
the railroad right of way (signals) we will be able to refine that number tighter.
Adjournment: At 5:13 p.m., Committee Chair Higgins declared the meeting
adjourned.

working to ensure that the city implements stormwater management practices
consistent with permit requirements.
The City of Kent has been offered a $50,000.00 grant from the Department of Ecology
Local Government Stormwater Grants Program. This grant is offered to assist the city in
the implementation of the Phase II municipal stormwater National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System permit.
The funds can be used for data collection, updating stormwater regulations, source
control, public education and outreach, illegal discharges into the City’s stormwater
system, and other activities consistent with the NPDES permit program.
EXHIBIT: None
BUDGET IMPACT: The City will receive $50,000 from the Washington State
Department of Ecology.

SUBJECT: Info Only/Mill Creek Reestablishment - Update
SUMMARY: The Mill Creek Reestablishment Project includes removing accumulated
sediment from Mill Creek in order to restore the original channel capacity of the creek.
The project will help reduce flood risk and drainage issues throughout the Kent Valley.
Sediment removed from the creek creates environmental impacts to wetlands and fish
habitat. This requires a permit from the US Army Corps of Engineers.
To help mitigate for the environmental impacts, the project will also include planting
native vegetation along the creek where possible, construction of wetland mitigation
sites, and construction of sediment capture devices. We have a team of consultants
assisting with permit requirements, mitigation plans, and sediment capture design
among other elements required by the permitting agencies. We have been working
with the Corps and other permitting agencies to keep the permit process moving.

BUDGET IMPACT: This project has been included in the Storm Drainage Budget for
2017, 2018

SUBJECT: Info Only/Reith Road & 253rd Analyses - Update
SUMMARY: At the September 18, 2017, Public Works Committee Meeting, Mr. Tommy
Meranti and Ms. Annette Pratt, Chair of the West Hill Neighborhood Council, expressed
concern about traffic safety at the intersection of S. 253rd St and Reith Road.
The PWC requested staff analyze accident data to determine how this intersection compares
to the rest of the city with regards to accident frequency. Staff reviewed five years of
accident data from the Kent Police Department. Based on frequency of accidents, the top 10
list of intersections has been developed and is shown below. Accidents were only included if
a police report was filed.
104th Ave SE and S 240th Street
104th Ave SE and SE 256th Street
116th Ave SE and Kent Kangley Road
S 212th Street and 84th Ave S
SE 208th Street and 108th Ave SE
Kent Des Moines Road and Pacific Highway South
Central Ave and James Street
132nd Ave SE and Kent Kangley Road
S. 212th Street and 84th Ave S
Central Ave and Smith Street
For the five year data set (2012 through 2017) eight accidents within two blocks of the S
253rd St and Reith Road intersection were documented. To put this into context the lowest
number of accidents in the same time period for the top ten list was 71 accidents.

SUBJECT: Meet Me on Meeker Design and Construction Standards
INFORMATION ONLY/NO MOTION REQUIRED
SUMMARY: The Meet Me on Meeker draft design and construction standards have undergone
extensive revisions since the first draft was presented in September. Staff have worked
collaboratively to resolve all comments and address internal and external stakeholder needs.
The standards have been simplified and amended for the best balance of feasibility with
aspiration. The standards show a cross section that generally represents the “full build” goal
for Meeker, so that any major redevelopment will contribute to the Meet Me on Meeker vision;
only the areas between Washington Avenue and the underpass (where there is a truly
restrained existing condition with no chance of redevelopment in the coming decades) show a
reduced cross section representing the best connectivity that can reasonably be expected
given right of way constraints.
Across the corridor, not all projects will require the full build. Major redevelopment would
merit the full cross section as shown in the standards; limited redevelopment would merit
proportionally limited frontage improvements. Prioritization has been developed to help guide
case-by-case decisions on how to implement the cross section while preserving the essence of
the project.
The standards show enhanced streetscape elements that may result in increased maintenance
costs, compared to other city streets. Both privately maintained frontage and publicly
maintained frontage will benefit from cost-saving measures that have now been identified and
included in the standards. The final draft represents staff’s best efforts to maximize the project
goals for the lowest possible future cost and have striven for a final product that truly balances
the needs for economic revitalization through increased investment with the fiscal realities of
construction and maintenance costs. For example, the pedestrian connector zones were
originally designed with individual pavers; these have been revised to a more affordable
cement concrete option. Additionally, lower maintenance installation methods are
recommended based on lessons learned from projects elsewhere in the region.
The standards now also reflect the switch to historic streetscape elements at 4 th Avenue as
well as the “transition zone” choices as per the Kent Downtown Partnership’s comment letter,
presented at the November 6th Public Works Committee meeting.
Staff and consultants will be available at the November 20, Public Works Committee meeting
to share the final draft and answer questions.

SUBJECT: Info Only/Quiet Zone - Update
SUMMARY: Staff met with the Union Pacific (UP) and Burlington Northern Santa Fe
(BNSF) on November 14 and November 15, respectively to complete Railroad Quiet
Zone Diagnostic field meetings. The results of these meetings will be made part of a
Railroad Quiet Zone Diagnostic Study to be sent to the Federal Rail Administration
(FRA), Washington Utilities Commission (UTC) and each railroad for comments, and will
be used as a basis for the Notice of intent (NOI) to establish Quiet Zones on both
railroads.
The results of the Diagnostics will be presented to the Public Works Committee after
they are completed which we anticipate will take place after the first of the year.
The meeting with Union Pacific went well, and no new issues of significance were
raised. The meeting with BNSF did not go as well. The railroad made requests for
significant improvements to its existing signal systems, which would likely be very
expensive. The railroads request does not necessarily make the improvements a
requirement, but the FRA may agree that they are necessary. Their requests were
bolstered by irresponsible pedestrian behavior that we witnessed during the diagnostic
field review. The group saw a number of individuals cross BNSF property between
intersections along with a near-miss with a pedestrian at Smith St.
Staff will work to complete the Draft and Final Diagnostics Studies and will report back
to the committee on progress.
