B. Speed Limit Changes - Adopt
City Traffic Engineer, Erik Preston noted that speed limits are established in
Resolution 1850 and that updating speed limits anywhere in the City requires
Council approval by resolution. Preston went on to state that speed limits are
proposed to be updated in several locations due to recent changes in
roadway alignment and surrounding land-use. The proposal also updates
speed limits due to the construction and extension of new streets, and/or
renaming of streets. In order to better organize and standardize the list of
speed limits, the list of streets has been reordered alphanumerically.

C. Interlocal Agreement Amendment with the City of Covington — SE
272nd St (SR516), Jenkins Creek to 185th Place SE
Water Systems Manager, Sean Bauer noted that an Interlocal Agreement was
executed in 2016 by the City of Kent and the City of Covington related to
Covington's SE 272nd Street (SR 516) Improvements Project between Jenkins
Creek and 1851" Place SE ("Project"). The Kent Water Utility owns three
transmission mains located in SE 272nd Street within the City of Covington.
These transmission mains convey water from remote sources to customers
within Kent's service area and need to be relocated in order to reconstruct
the Jenkins Creek bridge.
Covington has executed a consultant contract with WSP USA, Inc. to manage
construction of the project. The proposed amendment would authorize
reimbursement to Covington for construction management costs associated
with the relocation of the Kent-owned water transmission main. These costs
were anticipated and can be updated now that Covington has executed the
contract with its consultant.
The amendment also extends the timeline of the agreement due to delays in
the Project and updates designated representatives to reflect staffing
changes within the City of Kent.
MOTION: I move to authorize the Mayor to sign a Third Amendment
to the Interlocal Agreement between the Cities of Covington and
Kent for Joint Public Works Operations for CIP 1127 SE 272nd St
(SR516) Improvements between Jenkins Creek and 1851" Place SE,
subject to final terms and conditions acceptable to the City Attorney
and Public Works Director.
