SUBJECT: City of Kent Federal Agenda — Direct Appropriation Requests
- Approve
MOTION: I move to approve the public safety, infrastructure, and
educational federal funding requests summarized by staff and direct staff
to apply for or assist in the application for such federal funding.
SUMMARY: The City contracts with Crossroads Strategies for federal lobbying
services. City directors met with Crossroads staff to develop priorities for federal
appropriations. Crossroads assisted the City in developing requests that Crossroads
believes have a good chance at success in obtaining federal congressional approval.
As described below, one of the requests will be directly made by and for the City,
and the others will benefit the City, but will be made by partner agencies with the
assistance of the City.
Public Safety: The City will submit application for one time capital funding for
emergency technology equipment, primarily in the form of an emergency mobile
command center. An emergency mobile command center consists of a vehicle that
houses communications equipment, technology and meeting space that is mobile
and can be located at the site of an emergency. The emergency mobile command
center can be used in the event of man-made emergencies and natural disasters
that require a large police presence and extensive communications, planning,
operations oversite, meeting space and emergency response. The request may
include the addition of complementary technology such as, but not limited to,
mobile or fixed cameras, and drone and remote vehicle operations capabilities
which could be guided from the mobile command center.
Infrastructure: The City will direct Crossroads Strategies to help prepare and
submit the Kent School District's applications for capital funding to improve the Mill
Creek Middle School property and lessen the impact of flood and stormwater on the
school and nearby properties. A large portion of the Mill Creek Middle School
property, as well as some areas of adjoining property, are within a federally
designated floodplain. Improvements to the Mill Creek Middle School property will
trigger expensive federally-required floodplain and stormwater mitigation
measures. With the assistance of the City, the School District will submit a request
to Congress to fund capital improvements on district property and unneeded City
right-of-way which will then allow for redevelopment of the field and adjoining
Packet Pg. 9

vehicle entry and parking, and provide flood and stormwater storage for the Middle
School and if feasible, the surrounding properties. In return, the City will be able to
utilize the field for parks programing during non-school hours. Extra storage
capacity may enable future investment and redevelopment of commercial
properties to the southwest abutting Central and Smith-one block from Sounder
transit.
Education: The City of Kent plays a facilitative and convening role in the
coordination and advancement of workforce development initiatives in our
community. The City regularly convenes its local colleges, its school district, and
communicates with local apprenticeship programs to uncover areas of mutual
alignment; share information on career and job demand it hears from its major
employers; and explore potential intersections of funding to grow programs and
improve access to in-demand training. The City's Strategic Economic Development
Plan highlights the importance of promoting science, technology, engineering and
math (STEM) educational offerings. The City will direct Crossroads Strategies to
work with the Green River College, Aerospace Joint Apprenticeship Committee
(AJAC), Renton Technical College, and others to help procure federal funding for
activities related to the plan's objectives and in support of a cohesive workforce
development system in our local community.

SUPPORTS STRATEGIC PLAN GOAL:
Evolving Infrastructure - Connecting people and places through strategic investments in physical

SUMMARY: In September 2023, the Washington State Department of
Transportation (WSDOT) issued a merit-based project selection process as part of
the National Highway System (NHS) Asset Management Program. NHS roadways
include both local and state-owned NHS facilities. Kent maintains approximately 13
miles of NHS-designated routes.
In October 2023, the City applied to WSDOT for preservation funding on two streets
- 64th Avenue South between South 240th Street/West James Street and West
Meeker Street; and West James Street between 64th Avenue South and
Washington Avenue North (SR 181). The project will include pavement repair and
overlay, improved bus stops, curb ramps, sidewalks, and crosswalks. The project
will add bike lanes on 64th Avenue South through a planned vehicle lane reduction,
or road diet.' Bike lanes were included in the 2021 Transportation Master Plan and
would complete a north-south connection.

by the State for each classification.The classifications of work for projects are: E
a�
1. Preliminary engineering. ;v
2. Right of way acquisition. Q
3. Project construction. O
Once written authorization is given,the Agency agrees to show continuous progress through monthly billings. Failure to show 0
continuous progress may result the Agency's project becoming inactive, as described in 23 CFR 630, and subject to de-obligation of U)
federal aid funds and/or agreement closure.

1. Project Construction Costs
Project construction financing will be accomplished by one of the three methods as indicated in this agreement.
Method A—The Agency will place with the State,within (20)days after the execution of the construction contract, an advance in the to
amount of the Agency's share of the total construction cost based on the contract award.The State will notify the Agency of the exact
amount to be deposited with the State.The State will pay all costs incurred under the contract upon presentation of progress billings 3
from the contractor. Following such payments,the State will submit a billing to the Federal Government for the federal aid participation
share of the cost.When the project is substantially completed and final actual costs of the project can be determined, the State will =
present the Agency with a final billing showing the amount due the State or the amount due the Agency.This billing will be cleared by
either a payment from the Agency to the State or by a refund from the State to the Agency. 0
Method B—The Agency's share of the total construction cost as shown on the face of this agreement shall be withheld from its
Z
monthly fuel tax allotments.The face of this agreement establishes the months in which the withholding shall take place and the exact M
amount to be withheld each month.The extent of withholding will be confirmed by letter from the State at the time of contract award. o
Upon receipt of progress billings from the contractor,the State will submit such billings to the Federal Government for payment of its N
participating portion of such billings.
Method C—The Agency may submit vouchers to the State in the format prescribed by the State, in duplicate, not more than once
per month for those costs eligible for Federal participation to the extent that such costs are directly attributable and properly allocable m
to this project. Expenditures by the Local Agency for maintenance, general administration, supervision, and other overhead shall not be U
eligible for Federal participation unless claimed under a previously approved indirect cost plan. Q
The State shall reimburse the Agency for the Federal share of eligible project costs up to the amount shown on the face of this
agreement.At the time of audit,the Agency will provide documentation of all costs incurred on the project.The State shall bill the
Agency for all costs incurred by the State relative to the project.The State shall also bill the Agency for the federal funds paid by the
State to the Agency for project costs which are subsequently determined to be ineligible for federal participation (see Section IX). N

work, project cancellation, overpayment, cost ineligible for federal participation, etc.) is not made to the State within 45 days after
the Agency has been billed,the State shall effect reimbursement of the total sum due from the regular monthly fuel tax allotments to �o
the Agency from the Motor Vehicle Fund. No additional Federal project funding will be approved until full payment is received unless W
