A. Introduction of an Ordinance Granting a Franchise to Soos
Creek Water & Sewer District
Chief Administrative Officer, Derek Matheson provided a brief overview of the
Ordinance granting franchise to Soos Creek Water & Sewer District which is a
special purpose district that provides water and sewer service to both the
Panther Lake area as well as portions of the East Hill.
Matheson explained that the franchise agreement will authorize the district to
construct and maintain infrastructure in City rights-of-way. The draft
franchise agreement was based upon the existing franchises with Lake
Meridian Water District, Highline Water District and Midway Sewer District.
The term is 10 years with automatic renewal unless terminated by either
party.
Matheson also noted that state law requires franchises to be introduced and

C. Contract Amendment with Summit Food Services for Inmate
Food Services at the City of Kent Correctional Facility -
Authorize
Kent Police Department Commander, Diane McCuistion spoke about the
contract amendment with Summit Food Services for Inmate Food Services at
the City of Kent Corrections Facility. She noted that the original agreement
was approved by Council back on December 5, 2020 and this amendment is
changing the original term of the agreement from 5 years to 3 years,
terminating December 31, 2023. This decision was made due to last minute
negotiations in which the terms of the contract materially changed. This
agreement now has a larger per-meal price increase in the second year (3%
instead of 1%), and has increased tiers of discounts for larger inmate
population sizes (last price break at population of 160 inmates instead of
125). The projected cost for the first year of performance is the same as the
previous version.
Councilmember Boyce inquired about the requirement to provide organic
foods for inmates. Commander McCuistion indicated that a nutritionally
balanced diet is provided and that they accommodate for food allergies,
but there is no known requirement to provide organic foods.
MOTION: Authorize the Mayor to sign a contract amendment
with Summit Food Services to provide inmate food services at
the City of Kent Correctional Facility through December 31,
2023, and apply the terms of that amendment retroactively to
January 1, 2021, subject to final contract terms and conditions
acceptable to the City Attorney and Police Chief.

Performance Measures
Public Works Senior Transportation Planner, April Delchamps provided
information on the potential plan performance measures for the
Transportation Master Plan (TMP). The measures indicate status in reaching
the TMP goals of Connectivity and Options, Safety and Health, Stewardship,
Strategy and Placemaking. Delchamps reviewed the goals as well as the
prioritized projects. Delchamps also discussed the Transportation
Improvement Plan (TIP) by reviewing the 2022-2027 TIP development
process and how the TIP works together with the TMP. She discussed some
of the things to consider when creating the plan performance measures
including; data cycle, the availability of data, cost of data, staff capacity,
balancing ambitious and attainable and balancing the number of measures as
well as staff resources.
Delchamps reviewed the transportation performance measures of Seattle,
Redmond and Bellingham.
Delchamps reviewed the next steps for the coming months and really
emphasized how important public outreach is for developing a plan and how
instrumental it will be for future updates. These measures will be developed
and will be a piece of the annual six-year TIP update.
