L. Ordinance Granting Zayo Group, LLC. a Fiber Franchise -
Introduce
Assistant City Attorney, Christina Schuck indicated Zayo has requested a
Franchise to install fiber throughout the entire City. This is a standard
franchise for fiber only.
The difference in this franchise is that it includes a provision for dark fiber for
the City. The two strands of dark fiber are not a charge for the use of right-
of-way, they are more of a settlement agreement. Under a prior agreement
where Zayo installed facilities throughout City, there were problems with
Zayo's compliance with the terms. The City worked out an agreement where
Zayo would give the City two strands of dark fiber.
The primary goal is for Public Works to use the dark fiber to get all of the
City's traffic lights hooked up to the central system.

City of Kent
2020 Draft State Legislative Agenda
Capital Funding Request: The Gateway to Kent - $3 million
The City is the process of converting the 41" and Willis intersection to
a roundabout.
The City will transition this roundabout into an entry way into the
Kent community, by providing welcoming signage, a
bicycle/pedestrian walkway with lighting, landscaping, artwork, and
more.
The design will include amulti-cultural theme that reflects Kent's
diverse community.
City of Kent
2020 Draft State Legistative Agenda
Capital Funding Request: Panther Lake Community Park - $3 million
This will be the first community park in this significantly underserved area of
Kent, serving over 25,000 people
This park will give the residents in the Panther Lake area of Kent a sorely
needed community gathering place, a sense of pride, a connection to nature
and numerous opportunities to improve their overall health and well-being.
The park will include a restroom, playground, open play field, picnic shelters,
public art and other amenities determined by the public during the park's
planning process.
The park is also adjacent to King County's Soos Creek Trail, meaning it will be
an improved trailhead for an important regional trail and making it accessible
to people who want to walk or bike to the park.
City of Kent

Over the next decade, the City of Kent requests that the state partner with the

Complete 224th - $20 million
► Meet Me on Meeker - $5 million

► The City of Kent requests that the state enact a local transportation package.
The Joint Transportation Committee released a 2019 study to meet the $1
billion gap in transportation maintenance and preservation costs. To meet
these needs, the City of Kent requests that the state provide expanded
revenue options and increased resources for city transportation needs.
