The City's various insurance coverages renew twice each year. In July, the City's property, crime & fidelity, and drone insurance coverage renews, and in January, the City's liability, workers' compensation, and cyber liability insurance coverage renews. This item addresses only the property, crime & fidelity, and drone insurance coverage that renews in July. Prior to each renewal period, the City works with the City's insurance broker, Alliant, to prepare its renewal application and other supporting documentation. For property insurance renewals, the City provides its statement of values, and for liability insurance renewals, the City provides a status update of its outstanding liability claims. For the coverages that renewed in July, the following is a brief explanation of the major changes over last year. The City's property insurance premiums increased 34%; this accounts for a 6% increase in insured values. The coverage and policy limits remain the same, however, there was a slight change in the different companies or combination of companies maintaining the different layers of coverage. (See page 4 of the PowerPoint presentation.) There was also an increase to the drone insurance premiums, which can be attributed to the market preparing for future losses. ...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Drug Treatment Funding - Authorize Chief Administrative Officer, Pat Fitzpatrick provided an overview of the requested budget adjustment for the use of Opioid lawsuit funds to fund the City's Community Court made possible by Council's prior decision to join in a lawsuit against Opioid companies and distributors. The City will be receiving Opioid funds over the next 17 years. Fitzpatrick talked about the City's prior commitment to fund treatment and services for offenders. Presiding Judge Frans presented information on the City's Community Court that has the goal to provide an opportunity and assistance for those struggling with challenges relating to poverty, mental health and severe addiction. In May of this year, the City hired a full time Resource Coordinator/physician in the Probation Department that meets with individuals and connects them with resources. As of today, the coordinator has met with 148 people. Moving forward, as these drug treatment cases come through, they will be attached to the Community Court calendar. Services include treatment, housing and job training services. Judge Frans indicated with the addition of the Coordinator and with DSHS coming on board, participation in the program should increase. Additional funds would help provide complete wrap around services. Finance Director, Paula Painter advised the utilized $42K of the 150K grant that expired in June. The current budget is set at $100K of ARPA funding to be used for this program. The plan is to reverse a portion of ARPA dollars, repurpose and then establish funding utilizing the Opioid funds.

INFO ONLY: Update on City's Camping Ordinance Chief Administrative Officer, Pat Fitzpatrick provided history of City's Camping Ordinance. Commander O'Reilly talked about the challenges of enforcement, the City's camping ordinances, the legal framework, trending issues, approaches to different types of camps, and solutions to address the issues. The Police Department is seeing camps in parks and public spaces and advised campers are initially open to resources, but then have second thoughts or manipulate the process by accepting resources to avoid arrest, but then change their minds. O'Reilly talked about booking concerns and alternatives to a camping arrest that are effective. Solutions include: • Increasing staffing • Investment in Support Services • Law and SOP changes. O'Reilly detailed: Short-term strategies - We aim to get people experiencing homelessness off the street quickly, through providing resources, education about the laws related to camping, and ultimately holding people accountable through at large filing or an arrest. Long-term strategies - As our Officers complete their training and join the Patrol division, we'll be able to re-staff SOU and NRT. We will also continue to increase our partnerships with our resource providers. Homeless Internal Task Force - Continue collaboration with the Homeless Internal Task Force to identify problems and develop new strategies to effectively address issues related to illegal camping. Sergeant Kelso addressed Council's questions about the City's Camping Ordinance and enforcement on public property. More people are accepting ...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Michaud - expressed appreciation of the work of the Police Department and talked about visiting encampments with the team where she witnessed the compassion and professionalism of staff. Kelso advised additional staffing would help improve the program and additional funding would help with continued clean-up efforts. Fitzpatrick talked about how this is a regional problem that all jurisdictions are struggling with. Councilmembers expressed appreciation of the work of the Police Department and Boyce recommended all councilmembers schedule ride-a-longs to visit the various camps to witness the work of the officers and the challenges they encounter. Public Works H. Condemnation Ordinance - Reith Road Roundabout Project - Adopt Property and Acquisition Analyst, Cheryl Rolcik-Wilcox presented information on the Reith Road Roundabout Project Condemnation Ordinance. The City must acquire property rights from three property owners to construct the Reith Road Roundabout Project. The Project will convert the existing stop sign controlled intersections at Reith Road & S. 253rd Street and Reith Road & Lake Fenwick to compact roundabouts. This Project will help to: reduce vehicle speeds, reduce crash frequency and severity, and improve the pedestrian crossings at these intersections. Staff has been making efforts to communicate with impacted property owners. Litigated condemnation proceedings would be a last resort, and the City is making every reasonable effort to avoid formal condemnation; however, to maintain the schedule necessary for completion of the Project, condemnation proceedings may become necessary if negotiation efforts fail. Having the condemnation ordinance in place at this time will reduce the time required to file condemnation proceedings later should it become necessary. MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No. 4471, authorizing the condemnation of property rights necessary to construct the Reith Road Roundabout Project. ...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Opportunity Funds from King County Flood Control District - 76th Avenue South/Mill Creek Culvert Replacement - Accept Smith provided details on the 76th Avenue South / Mill Creek Culvert Replacement Project. The King County Flood Control District collects an annual levy from properties within King County. Through the District's Sub- Regional Opportunity Fund, ten percent of the levy collected within each jurisdiction is granted back to the jurisdiction to be used for stormwater or habitat projects with a flood-related nexus. In 2022, the City of Kent was allocated $205,902 from this fund for the 76th Avenue South/Mill Creek Culvert Replacement.

In 2023, the City also received a Freight Mobility Strategic Investment Board grant for $5 million. The project includes flood plain stabilization and habitat improvements to Mill Creek at 76th Avenue South by replacing culverts to improve fish passage, restores habitat, and reduces flood risk.

Highway Safety Improvement Program — City Safety Road Diets Grant — Authorize Engineer/Supervisor, Derek Hawkes provided information on the Highway Safety Improvement Program - City Safety Road Diets Grant. Traffic Engineer, Erik Preston advised that current traffic volumes do not need the extra lanes and that this proposal will increase safety and that road diets are meant to reduce crashes. The Road Diet project will re-stripe existing roadways to 3-lanes plus bike lanes at three locations consistent with the approved Transportation Master Plan. Those three locations are: • 41" Ave. N. (S. 2281" St. to W. James St) • W. Meeker St. - Lincoln Ave N. - E Smith St (Washington Ave. N. to 4t" Ave. N.) • S. 260t" St - S. 259t" PI. (Pacific Hwy S. to Military Rd. S.) In March of 2021, City Council authorized the acceptance of $735,000 in grant funds with 10% local matching funds for the project. While the project has been under design for the past two years, construction costs have escalated due to inflation. In June, WSDOT offered additional funding of $499,140 to cover the increased cost due to inflation since the project is construction ready. Also, a local match will no longer be required for this project provided it is obligated for construction by 2026. The revised total grant amount awarded to Kent is now $1,234,140. To begin construction of this channelization project this summer, Public Works is working with WSDOT to obligate funds ...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

INFO ONLY: Local Road Safety Plan — Safe System Approach Preston presented the Safe System Approach presentation. • Both the 2020 and 2022 City of Kent Local Road Safety Plans were successful in receiving grant funding from HSIP, WSDOT Ped/Bike, TIB, PSRC, and other grant programs. • The Local Road Safety Plan focuses on preventing serious/fatal crashes through spot and systemic improvements. • Safe Streets & Roads For All (SS4A) Action Plan is the next evolution of the LRSP and enables us to compete for SS4A Implementation funding. Top 3 take-aways: 1. The Safe System Approach is "Principles based" 2. Achieving a Safe System requires all five elements to be strengthened 3. Safe road is a continuum, not an absolute. The Safe System Approach has a guiding principle - Paradigm Shift - It involves a paradigm shift to improve safety culture, increase collaboration across all safety stakeholders, and refocus on transportation system design and operation on anticipating human mistakes and lessening impact forces to reduce crash severity and save lives. The Safe System elements are: • Safe road users • Safe vehicles • Safe speeds • Safe roads • Post-crash care ...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
