Item 2 – Roll Call: Committee Chair, Dennis Higgins and Committee members Dana Ralph and Brenda Fincher were present. Item 3 – Changes to the Agenda: There was one item added to the agenda – Information Only – 228th Street Union Pacific Railroad Project Update it was heard as Item 9B. Item 4 – Approval of Meeting Minutes Dated September 19, 2016: Committee member Fincher MOVED to approve the minutes of September 19, 2016. The motion was SECONDED by Committee member Ralph and PASSED 3-0. Item 5 –Ordinance Revising Enforcement Provisions of Illicit Discharge Code: Assistant City Attorney, Tammy White noted that this ordinance amends KCC 7.14.150 to make a third remedy available to the City of Kent—a civil infraction. By adding an option for a civil infraction, a police officer will be able to use his or her discretion to determine whether criminal charges or a civil infraction is most appropriate depending upon the particular situation’s circumstances. Additionally, this ordinance expressly provides that a violator must reimburse the City of Kent for any costs it incurs as a result of the prohibited discharge. Failure to contest, mitigate, or pay the City’s costs within fourteen (14) calendar days of invoice is also a violation for which an officer may issue a civil infraction. White gave a couple of examples of how the infractions would be issued and noted that if the violation is minor a citation can be written. Shawn Gilbertson’s staff is the experts in the field and will work with Police when an infraction is to be written. Committee member Ralph MOVED to recommend Council adopt an ordinance that amends section 7.14.150 of the Kent City Code to expand the enforcement options available to the City when its illicit discharge code provisions are violated. The motion was SECONDED by Committee member Fincher and PASSED 3-0. Item 6 – Joint Funding Agreement for Water Resources Investigations with the U.S. Geological Survey: Mike Mactutis, Environmental Engineering Manager noted that the stream flow measured at the gage at Rock Creek and Kent Kangley Road is included in the Clark Springs Habitat Conservation Plan as a criteria to determine the City’s augmentation of flows in Rock Creek from October through December. 3 Public Works Committee Minutes October 3, 2016 2 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. Mactutis noted these gages provide valuable information on stream and weather conditions, including water surface elevations, flow levels and amounts of precipitation. This information is used to calibrate stream flow models and increase the accuracy of City design of stormwater flood projection models as well as respond to flood events more effectively. The city of Kent has an ongoing partnership with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for stream data collection. For federal fiscal year 2017, The City of Kent will contribute $68,750 to the total annual program costs of $114,400 with the USGS and the city of Tukwila providing the remainder. Committee member Higgins asked how we inquire about changing local sponsors to the percentage back to what they used to be. Gilbertson said he would ask. Gage information is available at http://waterdata.usgs.gov/wa/nwis/current?type=flow. Committee Member Fincher MOVED to recommend Council authorize the Mayor to sign the Joint Funding Agreement for water Resources Investigations between the City of Kent and the U.S. Geological Survey, upon concurrence of the language therein by the City Attorney and Public Works Director. The motion was SECONDED by Committee member Ralph and PASSED 3-0. Item 7 – Information Only/Fall Recycling Event/Composter Sale Oct. 15, 2016: Gina Hungerford, Conservation Coordinator noted that the Fall Recycling Event will be taking place on Saturday, October 15, 2016 at Hogan Park at Russell Road 24400 Russell Road from 9:00 am – 3:00 pm. Residents are able to bring items that are not easily recycled at the curb, including appliances, tires, concrete/asphalt, Styrofoam and up to 3 boxes of documents to shred at no charge. Hungerford noted that in the future reminder post cards would not be sent out due to the cost. Staff will take advantage of the city web site, Facebook and other social media outlets. For more information go to www.KentRecycles.com. Hungerford also noted that King County Repair Time will take place at the Kent Senior Center on Thursday from 3 – 6 pm, bring your small household items that aren’t working and see if you can get them working again. INFORMATION ONLY/NO MOTION REQUIRED 4 Public Works Committee Minutes October 3, 2016 3 Item 8 – Information Only/Vactor Solid Waste Disposal: Greg Reed, Utility Superintendent noted that in June 2016, staff informed the Public Works Committee of the approximately 1,200 cubic yards of material that contained high levels of contaminants that requires disposal. Since that presentation, the second stock-pile of material on hand (900 cubic yards) was tested. Test results for contaminants were again high, requiring a certified disposal site to accept the material. Reed explained that through normal business operations of catch basin pumping and drainage ditch cleaning, a considerable volume of soil material is generated by the drainage utility. The material is temporarily stock-piled and processed at the utilities Vactor decant facility located along 64th Avenue South. The level of contaminants (hydrocarbons and metals) within the material is tested prior to disposal to determine an appropriate disposal location. Reed noted that a contract to load, haul and dispose of both stock-piles of contaminated material at a certified/permitted site was publically advertised. One bid was received from Rivers Edge Environmental Services in the amount of $217,056. Staff recommends awarding this contract at the October 4, 2016 Council Meeting. Higgins concurs with not letting staff take time from their daily job duties to dispose of the material. Reed noted that in the future staff will not let the piles get so large and will separate them in two piles to better manage “hot” material. INFORMATION ONLY/NO MOTION REQUIRED Item 9 – Utility Tax Ordinance Proposed Revision - Recommend: Kelly Peterson, Transportation Manager noted that at the request of the Public Works Committee, staff has examined and proposed draft language to broaden the solid waste utility tax ordinance provisions. The proposal would include the ability to fund the planning design and installation of neighborhood traffic calming devices, crosswalks and appurtenances within the funding source. The current code allows only for the maintenance and replacement of existing infrastructure. It was decided that this item would go under other business on the October 18, 2016 Council agenda. Committee Member Ralph MOVED to recommend Council adopt an ordinance amending the Kent City Code 3.18.020(A) (5) to allow revenue from the solid waste utility tax to be used for the installation of residential traffic calming control devices, crosswalks and appurtenances, up to a maximum of $150,000 per year, subject to final terms and conditions acceptable to the City Attorney and Public Works Director. The motion was SECONDED by Committee member Fincher and PASSED 3-0. 5 Public Works Committee Minutes October 3, 2016 4 ADDED Item 9B – Information Only/228th Street Union Pacific Railroad Update: Tim LaPorte, Public Works Director gave a brief update on the S 228th Street project. LaPorte noted that Susanne Provencio Smith and Mark Madfai have been key players with the project. They have been working with Puget Sound Energy (PSE) in the coordination of the raising of transmission lines in the area. Smith showed video of a drone flying over the site while construction was in progress. INFORMATION ONLY/NO MOTION REQUIRED Item 10 – Information Only/Quiet Zone: Chad Bieren, Deputy Director Civil Engineer noted that we have received the scope of work from the consultant staff is working on the dollar amount which will be just under $100,000. Staff is working on getting a representative from the Burlington Northern Railroad to come to a Public Works committee meeting to discuss their railroad crossings. Bieren noted that we would need $300,000 to cover the infrastructure more money will be needed for the fencing and signal work for the quiet zone. There will be more discussion on this topic at Tuesdays Council Workshop. Bieren will continue to work at getting a representative from the BNRR to come to a future meeting. INFORMATION ONLY/NO MOTION REQUIRED The meeting was adjourned at 5:11 p.m. Cheryl Viseth Council Committee Recorder 6 PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT Timothy J. LaPorte P.E., Public Works Director Phone: 253-856-5500 Fax: 253-856-6500 Address: 400 West Gowe Street Kent, WA 98032-5895 Date: October 4, 2016 To: Chair Dennis Higgins and Public Works Committee Members PW Committee Meeting Date: October 17, 2016 From: Chris Wadsworth, CFM, Civil Engineering Designer II Mike Mactutis, Environmental Engineering Manager Through: Chad Bieren, P.E., Deputy Director/City Engineer Item 5: Proposed Revisions to KCC 14.09 Flood Hazard Regulations [ZCA-2016-10] Summary: After holding a public hearing on September 26, 2016, the Land Use and Planning Board recommended to the City Council approval of the attached amendments to Chapter 14.09 of the Kent City Code, entitled Flood Hazard Regulations. These amendments address tasks identified by FEMA to meet the mandatory minimum requirements for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The changes include modification of the definition of Substantial Improvement, the addition of a definition for Substantial Damage, and a rewrite of the variances from flood hazard regulations. These changes provide several benefits beyond ensuring the City’s continued participation in the NFIP. They allow for a more comprehensive picture when assessing damages to existing structures from flood waters, and any other type of damage. They also close a potential loophole that may have allowed for development to extend into a regulatory floodway. These provide the City with valuable tools in enforcing its flood hazard regulations. The recommended changes help clarify the city’s existing flood hazard code; no new flood hazard regulations are being proposed. Exhibit: Draft Ordinance Budget Impact: None Motion: Move to recommend Council approve amendments to Chapter 14.09 of the Kent City Code, entitled Flood Hazard Regulations, subject to final terms and conditions acceptable to the City Attorney and Public Works Director. 7 This page intentionally left blank 8 ORDINANCE NO. AN ORDINANCE of the City Council of the City of Kent, Washington, amending Section 14.09.010 and Section 14.09.220 of the Kent City Code pertaining to flood hazard regulations. RECITALS A. On December 1st, 2015 a Community Assistance Visit (CAV) was made by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to ensure the enforcement of federal mandatory minimum flood hazard regulations required for participation as a community in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). B. Two changes to the city’s current flood hazard regulations (Ch. 14.09 KCC) are required to ensure compliance with FEMA’s mandatory minimums for participation in the NFIP. The changes apply to the city’s flood hazard definitions (KCC 14.09.010) and flood hazard variances (KCC 14.09.220) sections. C. The required change to KCC 14.09.010 adds a definition for Substantial Damage and ties the new language to the current definition for Substantial Improvement. The definition for Substantial Improvement is also updated to reflect the added definition. The revised language presents 9 a more comprehensive picture when assessing damages to existing structures. D. The required change to KCC 14.09.220 replaces the current code language with a more detailed process for obtaining a variance from flood hazard regulations, and closes a potential loophole that may have allowed for development to extend into a regulatory floodway. This change has the ancillary benefit of detaching KCC 14.09.220 from KCC 11.06.100. E. The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) responsible official has determined that the proposed Kent City Code amendments do not reflect significant changes to amendments to Chapter 14.09 KCC completed in 2015, where environmental review resulted in issuance on April 3, 2015, of an Addendum to the City’s Comprehensive Plan Environmental Impact Statement, and further SEPA analysis is not required for these local code amendments. F. A draft version of this ordinance was submitted to the Washington State Department of Commerce for expedited review on September ______, 2016. The ordinance was considered by the City Land Use and Planning Board after a duly noticed public hearing on September 26, 2016. This ordinance was also considered by the Economic and Community Development Committee on October 10, 2016, which recommended Council adopt this ordinance. Council has considered this ordinance, together with all public comment, and has determined that adoption is appropriate.
