SUBJECT: School Zone Traffic Safety Camera Program Fund Expenditures-
Information Only
MOTION: Information Only
SUMMARY: School speed zones are located in areas occupied by a high number of
pedestrians, especially before, during, and after school, and driver inattention and
speeding can have devastating consequences. The strategic placement of
automated traffic safety cameras in school zones has been shown to reduce vehicle
speeds, thereby reducing the risks to pedestrians.
Funds derived from the use of the cameras are to be used to cover the costs of
administering the program. Excess funds will be used for criminal justice-related
purposes. The current balance in the fund is in excess of $1 million. The Police
Department has researched and determined two items that it wishes to spend funds
on: (1) set aside $50,000 for matching funds for the traffic safety grant program,
and (2) use $279,000 to replace seven of the Police Department’s aging police
vehicles.

Police Priority #1
Description: Traffic Safety Grant Program – Match Funds
Washington State Department of Transportation provides grant funds to local jurisdictions to
enhance traffic safety. Projects include Safe Routes to School, encouragement projects to
increase walking and biking, and safety enhancements to reduce serious injury and fatal
collisions involving pedestrians, bicycles, and vehicles.
The grant cycle for the 2017-2019 biennium is now open and Kent is pursuing grant
applications. Police and traffic engineering staff are working to identify the most competitive
locations and strategies to enhance traffic safety.
Justification: Washington State Department of Transportation will give funding preference to
those projects that allocate local match funds. More competitive grant applications must
identify projects in areas where there are high incidents of serious injury and fatal collisions
involving pedestrians/bicycles and vehicles and provide a local match.
Impact: Up to $50,000 will be used for match funds for the Traffic Safety grant program.
Staff will work to identify the most competitive application based upon pedestrian/bicycle and
vehicle collisions.

Police Priority #2
Description: Police Fleet Upgrade $279,000
To provide vehicles for additional positions and to replace aging fleet vehicles. Costs include
estimated set-ups.
• K9 Patrol Tahoe vehicle: One for $65,000
• Ford SUV Interceptors vehicles/Patrol set-up: Two for a total of $80,000
• Ford SUV Interceptors vehicles/Administrative set-up: Two for a total of $70,000
• Ford police sedans: Two for a total of $64,000
Justification: Utilizing a third day-time K9 has been greatly beneficial to patrol operations,
aggressively fighting crime and supporting Intelligence Led Policing efforts. Most importantly, it
has given us a means to combat day time residential burglaries and prowls by providing a
valuable tool to apprehend suspects. Recently, we have dual trained a generalist apprehension
dog to also be a narcotic detection dog to assist with narcotic search warrants which will result
in more drug finds, prosecutable cases, and more narcotic related seizures. Due to this
success, the Chief is expanding the K9 program to four dogs so we can have the benefit of two
daytime K9s that can operate seven days a week. The fourth dog will also be dual trained and
provide an additional narcotic detection team. With this additional K9 position, the department
requires an additional K9 vehicle for the new team.
The Kent Police Department has two officers assigned as School Resource Officers. These
officers currently are assigned two vehicles that were originally purchased by the Kent School
District. Although they are now maintained by the city shops, they were not a fleet allocation.
The vehicles are aging; they have become a resource liability for maintenance and are well past
their expected life cycle. The department would like to replace these vehicles with Ford SUV
Interceptors that are equipped as standard patrol packages (fully marked black and whites,
with emergency light bars, and transport cages). The department also has one remaining
Neighborhood Response Team vehicle that is aging beyond its lifecycle and in need of
replacement. The department would like to replace that vehicle with a Ford police vehicle.
Replacement of aging vehicles will reduce maintenance burdens and increase safety.
The Kent Police Department was authorized an additional three employees for both 2015 and
2016. As part of the Chief’s personnel manning plan, three of the six positions were allocated
to the Investigations and Support Divisions. Two positons are to be detectives to support the
growth in patrol and increased case load in investigations and one position was allocated as a
Support Services Commander to support the critical operations of recruiting and hiring, as well
as accreditation, policy development, and training. All three of these additional specialty and
command positions require a vehicle. The department desires to provide Ford police vehicles
for the commander and to support the two new detective positions.
Impact: By utilizing the School Zone Safety Camera fund, the police department can minimize
a negative impact to the city’s capital project fund to provide replacements for aging vehicles
and required additional vehicles for newly allocated positions.

From: Tammy White, Assistant City Attorney
Regarding: Ordinance Amending Ch. 9.02 KCC – “Criminal Code” - Recommend
SUMMARY:
Generally speaking, cities have the responsibility to enforce and prosecute
misdemeanor 1 and gross misdemeanor2 crimes that occur within their respective
city limits. However, the city of Kent can only enforce and prosecute through its
Municipal Court those crimes or civil infractions that Kent has expressly adopted by
ordinance, either comprehensively through individual creation and adoption, or by
reference to a state statute. While Kent has adopted some Kent-specific crimes 3,
the majority of its criminal code is adopted by reference to state crimes enacted by
the state Legislature over the years. During its 2015 session, the state Legislature
adopted a number of new laws, including an infraction for leaving an animal in a
car, and new crimes related to background checks for firearm sales and transfers,
for selling powdered alcohol, and for wrongfully distributing intimate images.
Before these state crimes may be applied and enforced locally through the Kent
Municipal Court, they must be adopted by the City Council and incorporated into the
Kent City Code.
With this year’s ordinance, staff took the time to conduct a comprehensive review
of state law to specifically adopt all laws that establish a misdemeanor, gross
misdemeanor, or Class C felony 4 offense. Class C felonies were included as they
may form the basis of charging an offender with the crime of Criminal Attempt,
Criminal Solicitation, or Criminal Conspiracy to commit the Class C felony, which
1 A misdemeanor crime involves a maximum penalty of 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine.
2 A gross misdemeanor crime involves a maximum penalty of 364 days in jail and a $5,000 fine.
3 Disorderly conduct, obstruction, tampering or interfering with property of another, public disturbance, etc.
4 A class C felony crime involves a maximum penalty of 5 years in jail and a $10,000 fine, though locally, Kent can
only charge these crimes under Criminal Attempt or Conspiracy, which are then punishable as a gross
misdemeanor.
MOTION: Recommend Council adopt an ordinance amending the Criminal
Code found in Chapter 9.02 of the Kent City Code to adopt by reference
new crimes enacted by the state Legislature in 2015; to adopt other
crimes that were not previously adopted by specific reference; and to
make other housekeeping revisions for clarity.
11
crime would then be punishable in the Kent Municipal Court as a gross
misdemeanor. While many of the crimes this ordinance adopts by reference may
never be investigated or prosecuted within the city of Kent, if a need should ever
arise, the technical aspect of ensuring the law was properly adopted for application
and enforcement within Kent will have been satisfied.
This ordinance also includes other revisions to tighten some of the existing
language and to expressly provide how the public may access the state laws that
the Kent City Council has adopted by reference—both online and through the City
Clerk’s Office.5

2015 State Legislative Session
ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE of the City Council of the
City of Kent, Washington, amending Chapter 9.02
of the Kent City Code, entitled “Criminal Code,” to:
(i) adopt by reference new civil infractions and
misdemeanor crimes enacted by the state
Legislature during its 2015 regular session for
application and enforcement in the City of Kent;
and (ii) to make other housekeeping amendments
to the criminal code to revise references made to
the Revised Code of Washington; to adopt other
misdemeanor crimes that were not previously
adopted by specific reference; and to adopt Class
C felony crimes that may be used as a basis to
support the crime of criminal attempt or criminal
conspiracy, which is punishable as a gross
misdemeanor.
RECITALS
A. During its 2015 legislative session, the Washington State
Legislature adopted a number of bills that added new criminal provisions to
the Revised Code of Washington (“RCW”).1 The Kent City Code has
adopted by reference a number of state law provisions for application and
enforcement in the City of Kent. Once a state law is adopted by reference
into the Kent City Code that reference is sufficient for subsequent
amendments the Legislature may make to that state law provision.
However, because the Legislature adopted legislation that created new
1 These bills included a new infraction for leaving an animal in a car, and new crimes related to
background checks for firearm sales and transfers, for selling powdered alcohol, and for wrongfully
distributing intimate images.

2015 State Legislative Session
crimes that did not previously exist, it is necessary to amend the Kent City
Code to similarly adopt these new state law provisions by reference for
application and enforcement in Kent.
B. While updating the criminal code to add these new crimes,
staff conducted a comprehensive review of the RCWs and incorporated into
this ordinance all other crimes punishable as a Class C felony, a gross
misdemeanor, a misdemeanor, or a civil infraction. Class C felonies were
incorporated as they may be the basis to support a criminal attempt
charge that is punishable as a gross misdemeanor.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENT,
WASHINGTON, DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
ORDINANCE
SECTION 1.– Amendment – Criminal Code, Chapter 9.02 KCC.
Chapter 9.02 of the Kent City Code, entitled “Criminal Code,” is amended

code.”
B. As used in this chapter, RCW shall mean the Revised Code of
Washington.

of this chapter, or the application of the section, subsection, sentence, or
provision to other persons or circumstances is not affected, and to this
end, the sections, subsections, sentences, and provisions of this chapter
are declared to be severable.

comparatively small number of repeat offenders. The city council further

citizens to use such facilities without the interference or fear of the illegal
activity of others.

person has committed any act set forth in subsection (F) of this section on
or at any public facility as described in subsection (G) of this section, the

facility where the act was committed; provided, further, that if the public

as described in subsection (H) of this section, the officer may, by written
order, exclude that person from entering all public facilities within that
assemblage.
C. If the offender:
1. Has not been issued an exclusion notice within one year prior
to the violation or the current violation is not a felony violation, a weapon
violation, or a violation involving an act of violence or threat of violence,

forty-five (45) days from the date of the exclusion notice.
2. Has been issued an exclusion notice within the one (1) year
prior to the current violation or the current violation is a felony violation, a
weapon violation, or a violation involving an act of violence or threat of
violence, then the officer may exclude the offender from the public facility
or public facility assemblage in which the current violation occurred for a
period of ninety (90) days from the date of the exclusion notice.

position of the director or designee in his/her absence.
1. A request for hearing shall be in writing and shall be
accompanied by a copy of the exclusion notice for which the hearing is
sought. The request shall contain the address of the offender, and it shall
be the responsibility of the offender to notify the hearing officer of any
change of address. The hearing shall occur and a decision be rendered
within ten (10) business days after the city’s hearing officer receives the
request for hearing. Notice of the hearing shall be effective upon the third
88
77 Criminal Code Amendments

business day after placement of the notice in the mail to the address
provided by the offender.
2. The parties to the hearing shall be the city and the offender.
At the hearing, the violation that forms the basis for the exclusion notice
must be proved by a preponderance of the evidence in order to uphold the
exclusion. The offender need not be charged with a crime or civil infraction

the alleged violation in a court of law for the exclusion to be upheld. The

or a declaration made under penalty of perjury as authorized by RCW
9A.72.085, written by the police officer who issued the exclusion notice,
without further evidentiary foundation. Both the city and the offender may
submit physical or written evidence, or call witnesses to testify. The city’s

for securing the attendance of any witnesses it intends to call to testify.
3. If the violation is proved, the exclusion notice shall be upheld;
however, upon good cause shown, the city’s hearing officer may shorten
the duration of the exclusion. If the violation is not proved by a
preponderance of the evidence the city’s hearing officer shall rescind the
exclusion. If an exclusion is rescinded, it shall not be considered a prior
exclusion for the purposes of subsection (C) of this section.
4. The decision of the city’s hearing officer is final. An offender
seeking judicial review of a decision of the city’s hearing officer shall file an
appeal or an application for a writ of review in the King County superior
court within fourteen (14) days of the date of the decision.
5. The exclusion shall remain effective during the pendency of
any administrative or judicial proceeding.
6. The determination of the city’s hearing officer shall not have
any collateral estoppel effect on a subsequent criminal prosecution or civil
89
78 Criminal Code Amendments

proceeding and shall not preclude litigation of those same facts in a
subsequent criminal prosecution or civil proceeding.

the problem is present in the surrounding cities of Federal Way, Des
Moines, SeaTac, Tukwila, and Renton. These surrounding cities have
enacted similar ordinances as a tool to combat the prostitution problem.
Due to the volume of persons involved in the prostitution trade, adjacent
private property owners suffer economic loss due to trash, human waste,
and lost business. Community members suffer from traffic congestion and
an increased risk to public health and safety. The high risk prostitution
areas set forth in subsection (E) of this section suffer a much higher
incidence of prostitution-related crimes than other areas of the city.

From: Tammy White, Assistant City Attorney
Regarding: Ordinance Amending Ch. 9.36 KCC – “Traffic Code” - Recommend
SUMMARY:
Under the authority provided for by RCW 49.90.010, the state Department of Licensing has
adopted a Model Traffic Ordinance, which is available to any local authority who wishes to
adopt it for application and enforcement within its jurisdictional boundaries. A Model Traffic
Ordinance is beneficial as it encourages highway safety and uniform traffic laws from
jurisdiction to jurisdiction. The city of Kent first adopted the Model Traffic Ordinance in the
1990s. Through that adoption, the Kent City Council provided that the Model Traffic
Ordinance, as enacted at that time and as thereafter amended from time to time, was
applicable and enforceable within the city of Kent.
The Model Traffic Ordinance was most recently updated by the state Department of
Licensing on November 30, 2015. That update incorporated state statutes into the Model
Traffic Ordinance that the city of Kent had previously adopted into the Kent City Code
(“KCC”) through its adoption and amendment of KCC 9.36.015. For that reason, it is no
longer necessary for the city of Kent to maintain its duplicative adoption of these statutes,
and this proposed ordinance deletes those references.
While the Model Traffic Ordinance and the Kent City Code both provide that it is not
necessary for Kent to adopt subsequent amendments of the Model Traffic Ordinance for
those amendments to be applicable and enforceable in Kent, it makes sense to update that
adoption given the amendment that is needed to KCC 9.36.015. A further amendment to
KCC 9.36.015 is proposed to clarify that all state laws enacted or amended concerning
traffic infractions or offenses, and prior to their inclusion or adoption into the Model Traffic
Ordinance, are specifically adopted for application and enforcement within the jurisdictional
boundaries of the city of Kent.

MOTION: Recommend Council adopt an ordinance amending sections
9.36.010 and 9.36.015 of the Kent City Code to adopt the current version
of the Model Traffic Ordinance; to repeal the City’s separate adoption of
state statutes now included in the Model Traffic Ordinance; and to make
other revisions for clarity.

1 Amend Traffic Code—Ch. 9.36 KCC
ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE of the City Council of the
City of Kent, Washington, amending sections
9.36.010 and 9.36.015 of the Kent City Code to: (i)
adopt the current version of the Washington Model
Traffic Ordinance, (ii) repeal the City’s separate
adoption of state statutes that have now been
incorporated into the Model Traffic Ordinance, and
(iii) clarify that all traffic infractions and traffic
offenses adopted by the state Legislature and in
effect prior to their inclusion in the Model Traffic
Ordinance are adopted by reference for application
and enforcement within the city of Kent.
RECITALS
A. Through the authority provided for by RCW 49.90.010, the
state Department of Licensing, in consultation with the Washington State
Patrol and the Traffic Safety Commission, has adopted a Model Traffic
Ordinance, which is available to any local authority who wishes to adopt it
for application and enforcement within its jurisdictional boundaries.
B. A Model Traffic Ordinance is beneficial in that it encourages
highway safety and uniform traffic laws from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
The city of Kent first adopted the Model Traffic Ordinance in the 1990s.
Through that adoption, the Kent City Council provided that the Model
Traffic Ordinance, as enacted at that time and as thereafter amended from
time to time, was applicable and enforceable within the city of Kent.
115
2 Amend Traffic Code—Ch. 9.36 KCC
C. The Model Traffic Ordinance was most recently updated by
the state Department of Licensing on November 30, 2015. That update
incorporated state statutes into the Model Traffic Ordinance that the city of
Kent had previously adopted into the Kent City Code (“KCC”) through its
adoption and amendment of KCC 9.36.015. For that reason, it is no longer
necessary for the city of Kent to maintain its duplicative adoption of these
statutes.
D. While the Model Traffic Ordinance and the Kent City Code
both provide that it is not necessary for Kent to adopt subsequent
