Ordinance Authorizing Remote Meetings for Boards and Commissions. - Adopt City Attorney, Tammy White provided a review of the Ordinance authorizing remote meetings for boards and commissions and addressed previous concerns raised by the council. The Special Events Center Public Facilities District Board: Provisions only apply to the selecting of a pool of applicants, so this ordinance does not address that board. The Council discussed whether the chairs of the board/commission should be required to be in person. This ordinance does not include that requirement. White walked the council through the proposed changes. Boards/commissions that are not subject to OPMA can have all participants attend remotely: Chair would need to approve completely remote Chair will consult with staff representative and confirm technology needed Real time participation is required It's at the discretion of chair to activate cameras White detailed the revisions relating to boards and commissions subject to the OPMA: The Chair has the discretion for remote attendance Chair will consult with staff representative and confirm technology needed Real time participation is required Members must have access to all meeting materials It's at the discretion of the chair to activate cameras The public must be able to participate in real time The Land Use and Planning Board: Requires a quorum to meet in person (4) - up to 3 can attend remotely Allows for emergency attendance Chief Administrative Officer, Pat Fitzpatrick provided information on the option to record and broadcast board and commission meetings and indicated it would be a shift in what has been done for years. Fitzpatrick also advised that requiring cameras to be on could be an issue ........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Page 2 of 5 Operations and Public Safety Committee CC Ops February 7, 2023 and PS Regular Meeting Kent, Washington Minutes since camera functionality is a matter of the remote attendees bandwidth. This proposed ordinance provides for some flexibility. Council discussed addressing safety for staff attending in person after hours.

INFO ONLY: Introduction to the Comprehensive Plan Update Kristen Holdsworth, Long Range Planning Manager, presented the Comprehensive Plan Update. The City is working on consultation with MIG consultants that specializes in Washington state laws and the Growth Management Act. Holdsworth provided details on what a Comprehensive Plan is and Kent plans, including: Fulfill the community's vision Attract desired business and employment opportunities Enhance public decision making Coordinate community investments Mitigate negative impacts Prepare for the future The Growth Management Act is a framework for planning in Washington State. The state requires most cities and counties to update their comprehensive plans every 8-10 years. Kent does this through the framework of a state law called the Growth Management Act. The GMA has 14 goals to coordinate development while ensuring adequate services and protecting natural and environmental resources. Under the GMA, jurisdictions must plan for both household and job growth through the next 20 years. For western Washington cities, this means we are planning for the timeframe of 2024- 2044. We can't dictate the free market or require development to happen, but we must make sure we have designated land capacity through our comprehensive plan, zoning, and development regulations. ...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
