DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS July 29, 1992 TO: MAYOR KELLEHER POND CITY COUNCIL FROM: DON WICKSTROM�A`� RE: 272ND/277TH CORRIDOR PROJECT The hearing tonight is on the Public Works Department's recommendation to proceed with the above referenced project and to pursue the establishment of the preferred alignment as reflected in the FEIS with the County. Attached for your convenience is an excerpt relating to that preferred alignment as taken from the FEIS (as noted in my memo of June 29, 1992 , complete FEIS documents have been placed in the Council's Reading File at City Hall for review) . Throughout the EIS process, public input was sought and is incorporated in the final document. While much of tonight's public discussion will probably center around said FEIS and/or its adequacy, opportunity for further input therein has lapsed. Further challenges thereto are through the courts. However, in order to pursue same, an action on the project must occur. Council's action on the Public Works Department's recommendation would constitute same. The Public Works Department and the City Attorney's office will make a presentation covering the process, the FEIS, its findings, conclusions and mitigation. The Public Works Department will also have in attendance its technical experts to answer questions Council may have. with SE 272nd Street, then proceed east to its terminus with Kent-Kangley Road at 132nd Avenue SE. New intersections may be provided at "I" Street SE, SE 281st Street, SE 274th Stre \ SE 272nd/108th Avenue SE, 114th Avenue SE, 116th Avenue SE, 124th Avenue SE and Ken`ir' Kangley Road/132nd Avenue SE. Alternative C is shown in Figure 2. Alternative C would result in greater impacts to the environment in almost every element studied. :1 1.4 ADDITIONAL STUDIES There were issues identified during the comment period for the Draft EIS that the study team believed should be revisited to present the most current information in this FEIS. Some parties requested additional information on other issues that were (according to SEPA rules) adequately addressed in the DEIS. This information was obtained through additional studies and research and is included in Section 4.2 through 4.10. Areas of additional study focused on compliance with King County's Sensitive Areas Ordinance, wildlife habitat, fisheries resources, interpretation of transportation issues, and water well and aquifer issues. 1.5 SELECTION OF THE PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE In determining a Preferred Alternative, the City of Kent and their consultants sought an alternative that would satisfy the desired objectives while causing the least impact to the natural and built environment. With the help of the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), several specific evaluation criteria including transportation operations, environmental factors, engineering factors and cost. The selection of the Preferred Alternative was made based on the relative merits of each alternative. The TAC examined the potential impact of Alternative C. A number of public comment letters opposing Alternative C also were received. Other letters highlighted substantial impacts associated with Alternative C. Alternative C would have significant adverse environmental impact and was determined to meet the goals of the project less satisfactorily than Alternatives A and B. For these reasons, Alternative C is no longer being considered. Comments regarding Alternative C - specific issues, Olson Canyon and Olson Creek will be considered no longer relevant in the following section on Comment Letters and Responses. Information presented in the DEIS was used to determine which of the four alternatives would result in the least impact to the environment while still allowing the project to meet the study's objectives. As a result of this effort, Alternative A was selected as the Preferred Alternative. The Preferred Alternative is shown in detail in Figure 3. The Preferred Alternative would have the least impacts to wetlands, wildlife habitat, housing and right-of-way requirements and fisheries resources and its associated habitat. There may be some minor refinements made to the Preferred Alternative to further reduce impacts. These changes would not be of a magnitude which would warrant the preparation of a Supplemental EIS. -7- ---- �' East Valley HWY. co a I ] O D V O p 00 3 ¢ a I § ] I 0C/9 / �fl el� �e 0 yen O 11 \ 3 _ ItllrrrIt°rr a t G �I 1041h AVE.SE. ta ov ta � 1 1081heAVE SE =m -- y 21 ° 6 �^ Q • 0 9° o 11,to�� \ a 0 3 ° 1141h AVE..ED (00 m7m �I V �I ZZZ1��1111�11 - - - - ° ]�1161h AVE.SE. 0 V Z3 o = <_ o y m p N p c ,D '�F m rn w a � v v v 09 D n m a cn m a 0 m ° D m n C '". rn a Section 2 Impacts Associated with the Preferred Alternative The environmental impacts and mitigation measures of the Preferred Alternative are summarized from the DEIS as follows. For convenience, the impacts associated with the Preferred Alternative are also presented in Table 1. EARTH Environmental impacts The Preferred Alternative would require extensive earthwork in the valley, along the valley wall and in the upland areas to satisfy road design requirements. In addition, a bridge is required to cross the Green River and Green River Road. Cut and fill areas would be subject to erosion during construction, especially if construction occurs during wet weather. Ground water depths and flow patterns would be altered locally by the construction of embankments over upland depressions and biofiltration swales. Construction of the Preferred Alternative would require substantial cuts in the area of the abandoned residence where a potentially hazardous material was found. Mitigation Measures Much of the earthwork would be accomplished during the dry season from May to September, when on-site soils are likely to be usable as compacted fill and when erosion and sedimentation activity are at a seasonal low. The fill embankment on the valley floor would be designed with slopes not exceeding 2:1 to minimize the potential for failure. Staged construction would allow for an increase in strength in underlying soils and stability of the embankment. Preconstruction embankment settlement would be minimized by preloading and monitoring the settlement as needed which would also reduce the potential for liquefaction of foundation soils. The Green River Bridge would be a pile-supported structure to alleviate potential problems caused by soil liquefaction. Piles may also be used to support the foundation and abutments. Sensitivity to erosion in the valley wall would be highest during construction and in the areas with the steepest slopes. Impacts of erosion can be minimized by accomplishing earthwork during the dry i -11- ■ erosion preventing slope cover (such as straw), channel liners, sediment control ponds and energy dissipators. Long-term erosion impacts would be mitigated by minimizing the concentration of runoff onto fill, cut or natural slopes. Creating permanent sedimentation basins, biofiltration swales, a storm drain system and establishing grass or other vegetative cover promptly after the earthwork is completed would also minimize erosion impacts. Disturbance to natural drainage courses adjacent to the alignment would be kept to a minimum so that the existing drainage stability and flow conditions would not be appreciably changed. Vegetation would be left undisturbed along natural drainage courses to help reduce sedimentation. In the plateau area, mitigating measures similar to those used in the valley wall area would be used. Foundation settlement of the bridge structure could be mitigated by using piles. Preloading would be used to reduce excessive post-construction settling in some areas of roadway embankments. Impacts relating to the construction of the bridge can be reduced by accomplishing foundation construction during the dry season and implementing adequate temporary and permanent erosion control. The above-ground storage tanks and drums near the abandoned residence would be properly removed and disposed during site cleanup and excavation. AIR QUALITY Environmental Impacts Dust emissions from construction activities may be generated depending on the level of activity, disturbed surface area and the soil moisture level. Dust emissions would occur adjacent to the new roadways. The new corridor would create carbon-monoxide concentrations in excess of existing ambient conditions. Results of the CO dispersion modeling show that neither the 1-hour nor the 8-hour CO air quality standards would be exceeded near intersections, or nearby residential receptors in the forecast years 2000 or 2010. The maximum modeled CO concentrations for the intersections studied indicate that none of the alternatives would exceed federal, state, or local air quality standards. Mitigation During dry weather, construction contractors would implement a watering program to reduce dust emissions. Also, cleaning vehicles leaving the site would minimize dust generated by carry-out. Any negative air quality impacts over existing conditions related to the operation of the new roadway could be mitigated by increased transit ridership, carpooling, vanpooling and by improving traffic flow through intersections. -12- WATER RESOURCES Environmental Impacts Construction activities would result in erosion of excavated soil and increased turbidity in surface water runoff. Pollutants (sediment, oil, metals and grease) in surface water runoff would be generated from vehicular traffic on the constructed road. Development of the road.would increase impervious surfaces and would create new "source areas" for direct storm water discharge. Areas that previously contributed only gradual and filtered subsurface storm flow would be converted to sources of direct and rapid runoff. The Preferred Alternative would divert about 16.3 acres of the Black River basin from west of 108th Avenue SE directly to the Lower Green River basin. This would help storm control in these basins and would reduce the flow in the Mill Creek Canyon Park during period of storm events. The addition of impervious surfaces to the project area would not significantly increase flood flows since mitigation measures would be designed into the roadway. The displacement of storage volume in existing flood areas would occur in several small swales and wetlands. Compensatory volumes may be needed and would be included in the drainage design and the wetland mitigation design. The construction of the Preferred Alternative would not result in a rise in water levels during flooding events. The runoff from the new roadway would be collected and conveyed in a closed stormwater drainage system and in biofiltration swales. Excavation and compaction of near surface soils for road development could modify groundwater movement. The Preferred Alternative would impact eight wetlands for a total of approximately 2'/2 acres. Potential physical impacts include increased turbidity, sedimentation, alteration of local water tables and changes in water retention. Mitigation Measures Proper drainage features would be provided to allow soil infiltration of surface water runoff before it reaches critical areas, such as wetlands and grass-lined swales located adjacent to the project area. These methods consist of maintaining vegetative cover, using sedimentation devices to reduce the volume of discharge water that is high in suspended sediments, and using appropriate "housekeeping procedures" for handling chemicals and petroleum products during construction. A county-approved erosion and drainage control plan would be implemented to manage the impacts during construction and long-term operation. The design and capacity of the permanent drainage -13- system for the subbasin areas would be in accordance with the King County Surface Water Design Manual and applicable City of Kent and City of Auburn regulations. The four types of mitigation that can compensate for road construction impacts to wetlands include: 1) impact avoidance, 2) impact reduction, 3) impact rectification, and 4) impact compensation. Specific wetland mitigation would be determined in a mitigation plan which would be prepared for this project during final design. PLANTS AND ANIMALS Environmental Impacts Vegetation would be cleared, resulting in both a temporary and permanent loss of habitat that would adversely affect wildlife. About 30 acres would be lost under the Preferred Alternative. The Preferred Alternative would divide existing patches of habitat into smaller areas which may pressure certain species that require a minimum amount of territory. Protective cover, food supplies and nesting areas would be lost. The Green River would be affected by construction of a bridge, although the degree of impact should be relatively minor. Other possible impacts include increased roadkill, degradation of habitat, and possible temporary disruption of wetlands and breeding sites. Mitigation Measures The design of the Preferred Alternative would require less land than if another build alternative were- selected. Planting appropriate vegetation along the new road after construction would help reduce net vegetation and habitat loss. Where appropriate, native species would be used in revegetation efforts. Construction equipment would be kept out of vegetated areas, where possible, to preserve habitat as well as minimize soil compaction. Avoidance of large-diameter trees while creating staging areas would minimize loss of bird habitat. Staging areas would be kept to a minimal size, and be revegetated with seed mixtures recommended by the Washington State Department of Wildlife after construction is complete. ENERGY USE Environmental impacts Construction of the Preferred Alternative would require using energy and petroleum products. Petroleum fuels would be used in constructing, maintaining and travelling on the proposed arterial. -14- Electricity would be used to light the road and pathway, as well as operate the traffic signals. Mitigation Measures The new arterial is being proposed as a means to reduce traffic delay in downtown Kent, as well as alleviate congestion on the Soos Creek Plateau. The anticipated overall result is that less vehicle operating energy would be required for the Preferred Alternative than for the No-Action Alternative. The savings in operational energy requirements should eventually offset construction energy requirements. No mitigation measures are proposed for this project. SCENIC RESOURCES Environmental Impacts Construction of the Preferred Alternative would require deep cuts into the hillside to achieve the proposed roadway grades. Removal of existing vegetation within the right-of-way would also be necessary. The Preferred Alternative would create a bridge over the Green River which would alter the visual quality of the valley. Mitigation Measures Potential mitigation measures would include planting rows of vegetation along the right-of-way. This would help to restore these peripheral areas to their natural appearance. On the plateau, plantings may include street trees such as Norway maple, flame ash and scarlet oak. Groundcover would include grasses selected for local adaptation and ease of maintenance. Views of the bridge would be inhibited at any substantial distance from the immediate location due to the vegetation and meandering river path. NOISE Environmental Impacts It is anticipated that areas adjacent to the project would be exposed to temporary increases in noise levels during construction due to the use of heavy trucks and construction equipment. Predicted traffic noise levels for the Preferred Alternative indicate that by the year 2010,traffic noise would range from 72.5 LEQ to 74.9 LzQ for the peak hour 50 feet from the centerline of the corridor. Traffic noise along the project would exceed 67 LEQ for 11 structures. -15- Mitigation Measures Construction hours would be limited to mitigate construction noise impacts. Traffic noise would be mitigated by the installation of sound-absorbing plantings where adequate right-of-way would permit. The roadway would be constructed in a 'cut' section near 108th Avenue SE, this would reduce noise levels in this area. LAND AND SHORELINE USE Environmental Impacts The new road may improve access to areas not yet developed, but development moratoria, restrictions on sewer connections and/or rezoning of the area, may limit growth. The Preferred Alternative would displace 13 residences and acquire 43.1 acres. In addition, many older homes may have inadequate setbacks from existing and proposed street rights-of-way. Mitigation Measures The following mitigation measures would be implemented to minimize impacts to property owners directly affected by the project: • Compensate owners at fair market value for property acquisition, moving, travel, and other relocation related expenses. • Adjust alignments to reduce property acquisition and displacements wherever possible. • Provide referrals and assistance in locating replacement housing. LIGHT AND GLARE Environmental Impacts Construction of an urban arterial street would introduce light into presently rural areas, particularly along the valley wall and residential areas on the plateau. The primary source of light and glare would be from vehicle headlights on the new arterial. Mitigation Measures The road alignment would be designed and landscaped to minimize headlight glare into existing structures, oncoming vehicles and other sensitive areas. -16- HISTORIC AND CULTURAL RESOURCES Environmental Impacts No impacts to historic or cultural resources are expected to result from the construction of the Preferred Alternative. Excavation for roadway improvements could affect archaeological resources if site locations are found during construction. Mitigation Measures If archaeological resources are found during construction, a more detailed investigation would be conducted prior to further excavation and grading to determine the value of any archaeological sites or artifacts within the proposed right-of-way. The state and county officials would be notified and appropriate measures would be taken to protect these resources. AGRICULTURAL LAND USES Environmental Impacts Development of the Green River Valley segment would impact adjacent farmlands. Acquisition of additional rights-of-way west of the Green River may reduce the area of farmland in the King County Farmland Preservation Program on the Wembley Enterprises parcel and Monk Farms. The Program ., does not prohibit condemnation of agricultural lands for public purposes such as roadways. Mitigation Measures The roadway could be located on the south boundary of the farmlands rather than further north where it would divide existing agricultural parcels. Shifting the alignment to the south would also avoid acquisition of protected farmland for the road right-of-way. Alternative access to roadways and field entrances would be provided for farm vehicles and machinery if necessary. TRANSPORTATION Environmental Impacts The development of the proposed action would result in changes to the roadway system, operations, levels of service, and non-motorized vehicle activity. The roadway would have the following characteristics: five-lanes with separate left-turn lanes at all intersections; peak hour capacity of 3100 vehicles per hour, each way; 35 mph speed limit; and no intersection with Green River Road. Signalized intersections would likely be provided at Central -17- Avenue, I Street NE, and Kent-Kangley Road (SR 516), all remaining intersections would have stop signs on the minor approaches. HOV facilities would not be included with the new corridor. According to forecast results, the proposed corridor would attract significant traffic volumes. In each corridor, the heaviest travelled segment would be along the hill climb section between I Street NE and the top of the plateau. In the year 2000 the new road would attract 2,900 PM peak and 32,100 daily trips in the hillclimb section. In 2010 there would be 3,700 PM peak and 40,700 daily trips. The general growth in traffic volume would cause an increase in traffic accidents. The new arterial would improve access to the planned 150 stall park-and-ride lot just north of the 132nd Avenue SE/Kent-Kangley Road intersection. Under the Preferred Alternative, sidewalks would be provided, allowing pedestrians direct access from the East Hill to North Green River Park and trail system. The Preferred Alternative would provide improved access to Pine Tree Park and, through existing connections, to Pine Tree School from 116th Avenue SE. The Preferred Alternative would also provide a bicycle path from Auburn Way North to the vicinity of 116th Avenue SE. Mitigation Measures Introduction of a new roadway creates changes in travel patterns. These changes have been predicted with the transportation model. The roadways that intersect with the proposed facility would require revised geometry, which would be designed as part of the new arterial. In addition, the following measures may be require in the future. These measures are not inclureed as part of this proposed action. • Separate left turn lanes on West Valley Highway, and separate right turn lanes on all approaches, were considered for the year 2000. • Both SR 167 Ramp approaches need dual left turn lanes and a separate right turn lane. On S 277th Street itself, dual left turn lanes and separate right turn lanes are required at the appropriate intersections in the year 2000. • The Central Avenue Auburn Way North intersection needs dual left turn lanes on the north and south approaches to accommodate year 2000 volumes. • All remaining intersections within this corridor alignment operate at an acceptable level of service. No further mitigation measures are needed. -18- PUBLIC SERVICES Environmental Impacts Overall growth in the study area would increase the need for police and fire protection. The Preferred Alternative would create an additional access route for emergency vehicle use. The project may increase service calls for traffic enforcement and medical aid on the proposed arterial. None of the existing schools are adjacent to the Preferred Alternative; however, the Kent School District has preliminary plans to construct an elementary school on property adjacent to the proposed corridor on the valley floor. The corridor study area is a pedestrian catchment for students walking or biking to the local schools which would potentially be affected by the proposed roadway since a new arterial could present a barrier to pedestrian movements between the schools and residential neighborhoods. Although provision of pedestrian and bicycle facilities along the proposed arterial would improve safety, conflicts between pedestrians and automobiles become a serious problem at high volume intersections. When young students are crossing, crossing guards may be required even with signalization. The construction of the Preferred Alternative would provide a new road corridor which could be shared by utility companies wishing to increase supply or capacity. Installation of new utilities should be completed while the road is under construction, to prevent disruption to traffic and to minimize the need to replace patches of road surface. Constructing the roadway could require temporary utility service suspensions due to relocation or adjustments to transmission lines. Manholes and other existing in-street utilities would have to be raised to the level of the new arterial where existing roadways are used. Construction of the new roadway, curbs, gutters, and sidewalks would provide an opportunity to place the existing above- ground utilities underground, if required by utility franchise agreements. The proposed project would have no long-term impacts on utility service. The City of Kent plans to build the Kent Springs Transmission Water Main through the study area. The planned water main route is identified in the DEIS (Figure 23). The environmental review, wetlands delineation and agency coordination for this project has been completed. The Preferred Alternative would cross the western leg of the water main. The water line would be placed in a trench, following the contours of several ravines and roadways in the area. Once completed, the water main would connect with existing water lines in the vicinity of 132nd Avenue SE and Kent- Kangley Road. These are two separate projects and neither one is expected to have an affect on the other. -19- Mitigation Measures Preemption devices to automatically give the green light to an approaching emergency vehicle show— be installed at all signalized intersections. The Preferred Alternative would be designed to high safety standards including incorporation of barriers, signs and appropriate speed limits to reduce the potential for accidents. Traffic control signs and signalization would be emphasized to increase driver awareness and identify potential pedestrian crossing areas. School crossings would be limited to key intersections and identified in school safety programs. Bicycle routes would be designated as such with signs. The bridge across the Green River would be designed to allow the trail to pass underneath it. Walkways and bicycle lanes would be provided on the bridge to allow access to the trail on the east side of the river. As-built plans and field surveys would be consulted while designing the roadway and developing construction specifications. Construction specifications would address accidental. excavation of underground utilities and disruption of overhead utility services. -20- Table 1 Summary of Impacts ELEMENT OF ENVIRONMENT PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE EARTH The Preferred Alternative would require clearing vegetation and would result in exposure of soils. Erosion and sedimentation could increase during construction. AIR QUALITY The Preferred Alternative would result in the introduction of carbon monoxide emissions into an area where presently there are no significant emissions. WATER RESOURCES The Preferred Alternative would increase impervious surface area, increasing stormwater runoff volume. Some wetlands and their associated functional values would be affected. Compaction of soils and placement of fill could alter subsurface flows. Traffic on the new road would produce pollutants, such as oil, metals and grease. PLANTS AND ANIMALS Excavation, fill, grading and roadway construction would require clearing some vegetation and loss of some wildlife habitat. Clearing forested areas may introduce non-native species into forests along roadway borders. Some wildlife may be killed by traffic. ENERGY USE Petroleum products would be used for construction of the proposed roadway and for vehicle operation. This use would eventually be offset in fuel savings due to more efficient traffic flow. SCENIC RESOURCES The new road would replace the view of trees and/or predominantly residential areas, with one of a 5-lane urban arterial. The bicycle/pedestrian path would increase public access to adjoining scenic resources. NOISE Existing sound levels along the road alignment would increase from low background sound levels to approximately 70 dBA to 75 dBA approximately 50 feet from the road. The diversion of traffic to the new road would reduce traffic on other area roads, but not enough to significantly reduce noise levels. LAND AND SHORELINE USE The new road would preclude any other land uses in the area occupied by the road. Approximately 43 acres of additional rights-of-way would be required for the establishment of the road. HOUSING 13 residences would be displaced. LIGHT AND GLARE New sources of light and glare would be introduced. HISTORIC AND CULTURAL No known archaeological sites or historic structures would be affected. RESOURCES AGRICULTURAL LAND USES Agricultural land would be taken for roadway right-of-way. Some changes in access to farm fields may occur. TRANSPORTATION Extending S 277th Street to Kent-Kangley Road would result in a projected 32,100 vehicle trips per day by the year 2000, and 40,700 vehicle trips per day by 2010. Level of service at the majority of the analyzed intersections would improve. PUBLIC SERVICES During construction, response time of emergency, police and fire calls may be lengthened; however, the road extension is expected to shorten response time to some locations for the long-term fallowing construction. There could be interruption or relocation of utilities. -2 1- CONSENT CALENDAR �3 .

Mayor Kelleher read a procla- COMMUNICATION mation declaring August 4 , 1992 , as the 9th annual "National Night Out" . He noted that this provides a unique opportunity for Kent to join forces with thousands of other communities across the country in promoting cooperative police/community crime and drug prevention efforts, and urged all citi- zens of Kent to join the Kent Police Department and the National Association of Town Watch in sup- porting and participating in National Night Out. Police Officer Bob Bradley explained that activi- ties include visits to the Block Watch neighbor- hoods and block parties. He urged people to turn their lights on between 6: 00 and 10 : 00 that evening to show support for the program. CONSENT WOODS MOVED that Consent Calendar Items A through CALENDAR H be approved. White seconded and the motion car- ried. MINUTES (CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 3A) Approval of Minutes. Approval of the minutes of the regular Council meeting of July 7 , 1992 . TRAFFIC (PUBLIC HEARINGS - ITEM 2A) CONTROL Six Year Transportation Improvement Plan. This date has been set for the public hearing on the revised Six Year Transportation Improvement Plan 1993-1998 . Transportation Engineer Ed White explained that every year the City is required to prepare a list of construction projects in order to receive State and Federal funding. He noted that the T. I .P. includes approximately 40 pro- jects, and that it contains $119 , 000, 000 worth of projects ($53 , 000, 000 in State funding, $10, 000, 000 in Federal funding, and $56 , 000, 000 of City match) . He noted the City match is composed 1 July 21, 1992 TRAFFIC of LID participation, gas tax monies, possible CONTROL developer contributions and city funds. He stated that the Comprehensive Transportation Plan is being updated, and that the projects for which funding is available are in the T. I .P. and the more speculative projects are in the Comprehensive Transportation Plan. He noted for White that an overpass on James Street is still being consid- ered, but that it is necessary to do an analysis to ensure that it would be in the best interest of the City and the neighborhood. He noted that the cost for the analysis is estimated at $62 , 000 . Councilmember White voiced appreciation that the Canyon Drive barrier is included, as well as Reith Road. Transportation Engineer White stated that even with budget shortfalls, staff is taking a very aggressive approach and trying to get as many improvements in place as possible. The Mayor declared the public hearing open. William Carleton, 10201 SE 270th Place, submitted a letter from himself, John Kiefer, Charles Kiefer, and Ronda Taylor, which asks for a break- down of costs for the 272/277th Street Corridor as to the amount of money funded by the State, by LIDS, by the City, and by other sources such as mitigation fees and Federal funds. He also asked the total funding required for the corridor and the boundaries of the LID. WOODS MOVED that the letter be made a part of the record. White seconded and the motion carried. Wickstrom stated that it has not been determined who will be in the LID, and that the range of the cost estimate is from $16 million to $30 million. He noted that the City has commitments for LIDS which will gen- erate a certain amount, as well as other sources . He added that the boundaries have not yet been established. Upon the Mayor' s suggestion, he agreed to prepare a memo for Rev. Carleton and the Council which outlines the funding available, what the variables might be, and the process which is used in forming the LID. Carleton pointed out that although the EIS indi- cates that the ground is stable, there were cave- ins last winter and there is a lot of clay in the ground. He suggested that the City look into this. 2 July 21, 1992 TRAFFIC Councilmember White stated that he would like to CONTROL see HOV lanes included in this project even though the EIS says it is not necessary, and asked that those costs be factored in. He also suggested ac- quiring the right-of-way while doing the project. There were no further comments and WHITE MOVED to close the public hearing. Orr seconded and the motion carried. WHITE MOVED that Resolution No. 1317 be adopted, approving the 1993-1998 Six Year Transportation Improvement Plan. Woods seconded and the motion carried. (BIDS - ITEM 5A) LID 333 - Signalization of 72nd and S. 180th Bid opening was July 7 with four bids received. The low bidder was Breaker Construction with the bid of $71, 930 and staff recommends that the bid be accepted and the project awarded. WHITE SO MOVED. Bennett seconded and the motion carried.

The Public Works Department has received a 60/40 matching grant in the amount of $85, 564 to provide funding for a Solid Waste/ Recycling Coordinator and for special recycling events. In light of the City ' s budget, staff has restructured the position, included water conser- vation responsibilities, and propose to fund the 40% match from the water utility. By so doing, any impact to the general fund in filling this position is eliminated. An "in-house" recruitment of the position would provide a potential addi- tional savings for the general fund. The Public Works Committee, Executive Committee and Opera- tions Committee have approved this approach and recommend accepting the grant, recruiting in-house for a Conservation Specialist and transferring $32 , 000 from the unencumbered water fund to pro- vide the 40% match for the position. Steve Dowell questioned the $85 , 000 figure and said it was his understanding that the garbage company has a recycling coordinator. Wickstrom clarified that their coordinator handles commer- cial accounts and that the proposed position would handle residential recycling, hazardous waste col- lection, and yard waste, and that implementation of these mandated programs is included in the $85, 000 figure. He added that if the City does not implement these programs, King County could add a surcharge to the dump fees. He also noted for Dowell that the intent is to try to hire in- house from a general fund position and that the vacated position would then be frozen. Dowell commented that if someone in-house fills the posi- tion, they must not have anything to do now, and Wickstrom explained that it could be filled from a position which may otherwise have been laid off. Dowell questioned whether it is possible that the water portion of this job was initiated in order to tap the water fund. Wickstrom said it is not, 4 July 21 , 1992 SOLID WASTE/ and that under the Comprehensive Plan before King RECYCLING County, the City must have a water conservation program. He said that this is an opportunity to implement two mandatory requirements without affecting the general fund. Dowell noted that Councilmember Orr previously voiced concern about taking money from the water fund and placing it in the general fund, and that he too is concerned about it. He said it seems that money from rate- payers for water would be transferred to the general fund, and that in the future the City could be faced with finding a way to pay for water improvements. He recommended borrowing money from the water fund rather than giving it, so that rate-payers know that the money is still available for future water improvements. Wickstrom pointed out that water conservation is a water expense, not a general fund expense, and that what is saved on water conservation defers improvements for new sources which are harder and harder to develop. Houser pointed out that taking a position from the general fund would add money back into it. She pointed out that the City has no choice in this, that these programs are mandated, and that the City will come out ahead by using the matching funds. She MOVED that the Mayor be authorized to sign the CPG grant for $85 , 564 , to recruit in- house to fill the conservation specialist posi- tion, and to transfer $32 , 000 from the unencum- bered water fund to provide the 40% match for the position. Woods seconded. White asked the Finance Director what procedure would be used and what the costs would be if funds were borrowed. McCarthy responded that the water fund would have to be taxed or charged for service and that the water fund would have to earn a cur- rent market rate of interest, which depends upon how long the funds are borrowed for. He noted for Orr that the water fund monies are currently invested for both long and short terms. Orr noted that it may be better to use the money to fund the position, since very little interest would be accrued over two years . McCarthy noted that since it is for water conservation, it is a legitimate expense of the water fund, and that the money should not be loaned. Dowell said he is concerned 5 July 21, 1992 SOLID WASTE/ about the process and reiterated that the coordi- RECYCLING nator position could be filled by borrowing the money. White offered a friendly amendment to the motion that the position which is vacated when a person is recruited in-house be eliminated. Houser and Woods agreed to the amendment. The motion, as amended, then carried. REGIONAL (OTHER BUSINESS - ITEM 4B) JUSTICE ADDED BY JIM WHITE CENTER Regional Justice Center. White noted that the Environmental Impact Statement for the Regional Justice Center has been completed and asked when the Council would have an opportunity to provide input on the project. He pointed out that the next process is the SEPA process and that Council legally has no input on that process. Mayor Kelleher stated that the City must make a deter- mination as to whether the EIS is acceptable or whether they wish to ask for a supplemental EIS . He explained that the responsible SEPA official , Planning Director Harris, can receive input from the City, but State law provides that the Council cannot dictate what the input will be. He noted that after the Planning Department looks at the EIS and determines whether or not the EIS is acceptable in its present form, the Council and public would be informed and a workshop scheduled to receive input, so that the City would have an opportunity to take that input into consideration before making a final decision. Harris pointed out that the EIS came from the County and that the Planning Department and the City were not involved in it. He explained that to move forward with this project, the City needs an environmental checklist from the County, which will trigger a review of their final EIS . The Mayor asked that the City contact the County and ask for the checklist, and that some workshops or meetings be scheduled to collect input. City Attorney Lubovich noted that the County is the lead agency on this project and that they have gone through their threshold determination process and determined that an EIS was required. He 6 July 21, 1992 REGIONAL agreed that at this point information must be sub- JUSTICE mitted from the County to the City for review and CENTER determination as to what steps beyond the EIS are necessary. He noted that although staff recom- mends holding workshops or meetings, it is not re- quired at this time. The Mayor pointed out that many individuals and groups have approached the City about this issue and asked Harris and Lubovich to speak to the County tomorrow to get the process going. White noted that the Council has given its endorsement of the project and that there should be a place in the process for their input. He pointed out that the EIS shows no major traffic revisions and that he would like to see that addressed. FIRE (CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 3G) DEPARTMENT Ordinance Addressing Fireworks. ADOPTION of Ordinance No. 3058 repealing Kent City Code Sec- tion 13 . 09 addressing fireworks, and clarifying City Fireworks permits and fee requirements . This ordinance repeals the existing Kent City Code 13 . 09 to remove inconsistencies with State law, while clarifying that City Fireworks Permits and Fees as recently established are required. It also provides criminal penalties as stipulated by the State Statute (Chapter 70 . 77 RCW) . Lubovich explained that the penalty provision (Section 3) is inconsistent with State statute and should be corrected to read as follows : "A person failing to obtain a local fireworks permit as required by Section 2 herein shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be punished by imprisonment not to exceed 90 days and a fine not to exceed $1, 000. " There was no objection from Council and the Mayor ordered that the corrected language be incorpor- ated. 7 July 21, 1992 POLICE (CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 3H) DEPARTMENT Electronic Monitoring Agreement. AUTHORIZATION for the Mayor to sign Electronic Monitoring Agree- ment with the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs. ANIMAL (CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 3F) CONTROL Ordinance Revision Regarding Constrictor Snakes. ADOPTION of Ordinance No. 3057 which amends Section 9 . 16. 76 of the Kent City Code regarding constrictor snakes. The proposed amendment allows the ownership of any non-poisonous constrictor snake under 10 feet in length, requires that those snakes be kept in secure, locked cages, imposes a duty on sellers of those snakes to clearly post a notice of these restrictions, and imposes a separate civil penalty for violations of this sec- tion. COUNCIL (CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 3D) Council Absence. APPROVAL of a request for an excused absence for Councilmember Paul Mann from the July 21, 1992 meeting. BUDGET ADDED ITEM - ADDED BY BILL DOOLITTLE Budget. Bill Doolittle noted that the Target Issues for 1992-93 refer to frozen positions and requested that the information presented at the budget workshop on July 21 be printed for the July 28 workshop without the frozen positions . He referred to the mood in the room tonight regarding layoffs and how they were allocated, and said that not reflecting those frozen positions gives a dif- ferent picture and makes the percentages change dramatically in some cases. He confirmed that he is referring to positions which were proposed and never filled, and pointed out that it was the con- sensus of the Council that those positions be eliminated and not be considered in discussions of the 1993 budget. McCarthy clarified for Woods that the 28 . 5 posi- tions discussed at the Council retreat includes 11 or 12 positions which were proposed and never filled, plus vacancies which occurred during 1991 . The Mayor noted that the Council can eliminate the 11, the 28 . 5 total from 1991, or the 42+ positions the City is up to now. City Attorney Lubovich 8 July 21, 1992 BUDGET explained that a budget amendment would be required to remove the positions from the budget, but that a different form could be used to remove them from Administration' s formula. The Mayor explained that under Administration' s formula, departments get credit for the positions no matter how the vacancy occurs. White suggested that the Operations Committee consider a revised budget in- volving these positions. Houser agreed that the positions should be eliminated, noting that it is very difficult with so many sets of figures . She then MOVED to direct the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance removing all unfilled positions from the budget. Bennett seconded. Johnson said that he has some concerns about this, but will support the motion at this time, and vote accordingly when the issue comes back to Council. White asked that Council be provided with information regarding which positions these are and what the impact will be. The motion then carried. FINANCE (CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 3B) Approval of Bills.

The City Council Planning Committee has recommended approval of the proposed Growth Management Plan- ning Council Interlocal Agreement in response to the Growth Management Act. The legislature requires that county planning policies be ratified or adopted by July, 1992 . King County, in con- junction with county cities, proposes to create the Growth Management Planning Council which will be composed of representatives from Seattle, King County and Suburban Cities. This item was origin- ally on the City Council Agenda for December 17 , 1991, but was pulled because of a revision to the agreement. PERMIT (OTHER BUSINESS - ITEM 4A) FEES Fire Permit Fee. At the present time, the permit fees are issued under the Uniform Fire Code. The adoption of this ordinance would remove the fee schedule from ordinance form and authorize the Fire Chief to prepare a fee schedule commensurate with the cost of administration and inspection involved in the processing, issuance and renewal of such permits and certificates, which schedule would be approved by Council resolution. The fee schedule shall govern the amount of fees for any permit or certificate authorized under the Uniform Fire Code. Lubovich noted that this item, as well as plumbing permit fees, building permit fees, mechanical per- mit fees and a resolution regarding all fees was returned to committee for further consideration on December 31 1991. He explained that the ordi- nances take the fee schedule out of the ordinance form and put it in fee resolution form. He added that it would modify the plumbing and fire permit fees. Upon White ' s question, Fire Chief Angelo noted that raising the fees would not enhance the level of service, that it is an update of the fees rela- tive to other jurisdictions in the area.

BELL i � oyn Director STATE OF WASHINGTON WASHINGTON STATE ENERGY OFFICE 809 Legion Way S.E. • PO Box 43165 • Olympia, Washington 98504-3165 June 26, 1992 Subject: Statewide Radon Requirements Effective July 1, 1992 Dear Building Department Staffperson: A change has been made to the statewide radon requirements as per an emergency rule enacted in late March. This legislation affects all city and county building departments in Washington State. Some clarification of building department responsibilities is provided below. Look for additional information in upcoming fact sheets from the Washington State Energy Office (WSEO). Key Excerpts From Substitute Senate Bill 6386 (1) Beginning July 1, 1992, at the time of final inspection of a new single-family residence or each ground floor unit in a multifamily residential building, the building inspector shall deliver to each residence and each ground floor unit a three-month etched track radon measurement device that is listed on a current federal environmental protection agency radon measurement proficiency list. Postage to the testing facility and the cost of testing and notification to the homeowner shall be included with the device. The device, the instruc- tions included with the device, and the instructions provided by the State Building Code Council...shall be placed in a conspicuous location. (3) The owner of a new single-family residence or of a multifamily residential building shall be responsible for returning the radon measurement device left by a building inspector pur- suant to this section to the appropriate testing laboratory in accordance with the instruc- tions left with the device by the building inspector. (S) The building inspector responsible for the final inspection, the building inspector's employer, and the county or city within which a single-family residence or multifamily residential building is located shall not be liable for injuries caused by: (a) the failure of the occupant or owner of the residence or building to properly install, monitor, or send a radon measurement device to the testing laboratory; or(b) radon entering into any single-family residence or multifamily residential building. (6) This section shall expire June 30, 1995. (206) 956-2000 or SCAN 494-2000 Telefax (206) 753-2397 _�e 3 Support Is Available Since the new legislation requires that building departments provide State Building Code Council (SBCC) instructions with the radon monitor, bulk quantities of these instructions are enclosed. The instructions were prepared by SBCC, the Washington State Department of Health (DOH), the Washington Association of Building Officials (WABO), and WSEO. The Washington State Office of Procurement (WSOP) has a contract with a radon monitor dis- tributor to facilitate the purchasing process for building departments. The specifics of the con- tract were drafted in consultation with the Association of Washington Cities (AWC), the Wash- ington Association of Building Officials (WABO), WSEO, and DOH. The radon kits purchased through the WSOP contract will meet the new Ventilation and Indoor Air Quality Code (VIAQ)requirements by including laboratory fees and postage. The contractor will provide a unit price per radon kit that includes all shipping and handling costs to the build- ing department. Building departments will order radon monitoring kits directly from the dis- tributor. For jurisdictions not participating in the WSOP radon kit purchasing contract, a list of known sources of radon monitoring kits which meet the requirements of SSB 6386 is enclosed. WSEO Advisory This new legislation has a statewide impact. All cities and counties are required to comply with this new radon monitoring legislation. Nothing in the new legislation requires that a radon test be conducted. The law merely requires that building departments leave a radon kit with instructions in residential buildings at the time of final inspection. Although not specifically addressed in this legislation, some additions to existing buildings may also be required to be provided with radon kits. VIAQ Section 101.3.1.1, which is not modified by this legislation, only exempts additions or alterations to existing buildings which do not require the construction of foundations, crawlspaces, slabs, or basements. Feel free to contact me with any radon legislation questions at (206) 956-2095.

BALL) Lin Ball, Manager of the Office of Housing and Human Services, explained that the total amount of human services funding for 1993 is $4, 456 less than 1992 , therefore, funding levels for many agencies were reduced and funding for one agency was eliminated. Ms. Ball speculated that Council members may receive inquiries from agencies as a result of the decreases in funding and discussed a document detailing the process and rationale the Human Services Commission used in making their recommendations. AFFORDABLE HOUSING (L. YEATS-OUILICI) Planner Laura Yeats-Quilici distributed an affordable housing update, reviewed the deadlines specified by the countywide policies regarding affordable housing as recently adopted by the King County Council, and discussed how credits or adjustments can be made to the allocation formula. Ms. Quilici explained the purpose of the guidelines is to avoid overconcentration of low and moderate income housing throughout the county and to provide housing where there is low wage employment. Ms. Quilici also noted that Framework Policy #2 of the countywide policies states that one month from ratification interim strategies for affordable housing must be in place until the City' s regulations and comprehensive plan are adopted. ADDED ITEMS Regarding the West Hill Island Annexation, Tom Brubaker explained Ordinance No. 3049 adopted by the City Council on July 7, 1992 must be repealed because the SEPA comment period has not yet expired.

Approval of Vouchers All claims for the period ending July 15, 1992, in the amount of$1,833,021.73 were approved for payment. Drinking Driver Task Force Contribution Summary Administrative Manager Mclalwain reviewed with the Committee the quarterly contributions of the Drinking Driver Task Force. Kent Springs Transmission Project Budget Adiustment Public Works Director Wickstrom informed the Committee that the subject bids were scheduled to be opened July 29th. The project has been delayed by two years during which time the Army Corp of Engineers was reviewing the permit application. The permit has been received with some modifications which include realignment, some deletion and construction of new wetlands. The combination of these factors amount to an additional cost of $350,000. Wickstrom requested authorization to transfer this amount from the Unencumbered Water Fund. He noted that he would like to award the contract at the August 4th meeting so that work could start this year. Committeemember Orr moved to authorize transfer of the $350,000 from the Unencumbered Water Fund to the Project Fund. Houser seconded the motion which passed with a vote of 2-0. Added Item - Resolution to Approve Amendments to the Interlocal Agreement Creating the Washington Cities Insurance Authority (WCIA) Risk Analyst Chatwin informed the Committee that the WCIA has requested the adoption of a revision to the existing interlocal agreement to include two changes. He added that the WCIA was originally formed by 9 cities and currently includes 70 cities. The first is to allow future interlocal changes by a two-thirds majority rather than a unanimous vote. The second is to change the language in Article 13 from premium to assessment and to make assessments at any time as opposed to retroactive. He continued that the City 1 OPERATIONS COMMITTEE MINUTES, CONT. July 21, 1992 Attorney has drafted a resolution to accomplish these changes and if approved by Committee will be taken to the full Council. Orr put forth a motion to recommend adoption of the proposed resolution to the City Council. Chow recommended having the item reviewed by Jim White and if he is in favor of the resolution it could be on the Consent Calendar of the first Council meeting in August. Orr so amended her motion which was seconded by Houser and passed with a vote of 2-0. Review of June Financial Report Finance Director McCarthy distributed the June Financial Report to review with the Committee. He noted that he will summarize the report at the Workshop tonight with the full Council but wished to give the Operations Committee a detailed review. McCarthy began with the Cash and Investment Schedule noting that the General Fund balance has decreased about $500,000 in every six month interval since December of 1990. In addition, the Golf fund shows $(14,133.29) due to a transfer in May of$506,000 from the CIP but was approaching a zero balance. After reviewing the Debt Service Funds, McCarthy detailed the Capital Project Funds. The CIP currently has a balance of$1.1 million but a transfer of$806,000 to the General Fund has been previously approved. The CIP will be generating funds from the tax base during the remainder of the year. In the Street Utility Fund the largest project is the 272nd Corridor. The Parks Fund includes the East Hill Parks; Public Safety Projects includes the bond projects that have not been closed-out yet. The Library Fund has a remaining balance of$280,000 due to interest accumulation which may be used for a left turn pocket on Smith Street. During further review, McCarthy stated that there are various allocations that have not been used such as sidewalks, and the daycare study that will be discussed in more detail at the Council Workshop. Exhibit B outlines the investment statistics of the City. Diversity has been considered when making investments by using different institutions, types of investments and length of maturity. The City's total portfolio includes $9 million in overnight investments due to the Senior Housing Project. The State Pool is currently the best rate of return for short term investments at 3.973%. Because of the low interest rates, the forecast for interest income is lower. Exhibit C summarizes the Accounts Receivable Aging Schedule. Foreclosure is in process on eleven parcels that have been delinquent two years. In addition, the General Fund includes the King County Emergency Medical Levy billed but still owing which should collect $204,000. McCarthy stated that at the next Operations Committee he would like to bring forward a proposal from another collection agency to work on collecting traffic violations. The collection agency currently working some accounts charges $8.45 per account with the new proposal charging the delinquent accounts instead of the City. Exhibit D shows the outstanding long term debt. It also shows the councilmanic capacity which reflects no new bonds since 1989. Exhibit E shows revenue for June is 1.6% above budget but the figures were down for May and April and are slightly worse than'last year. The forecast expected some rebound. Expenditures are at 97.9% with the continued freeze and additional vacancies. Property Taxes are overcollecting due to revised figures after the budget was passed. Taxes are expected to be over budget $148,000. Sales and Use Tax includes July and is down from projections. Contact Kelli O'Donnell at 859-2116 for a copy of the June Financial Report. 2 OPERATIONS COMMITTEE MINUTES, CONT. July 21, 1992 Utility Taxes are shown as down with the latest figures being from April and not due again until July. Puget Power has paid their portion which was lower than this time last year. Building Permits have been up and down all year and it is forecast that using conservative numbers we will over collect. Recreation fees are still up 6.7% and are levelling out since March and April. Fines and Forfeitures are up 13.3%. Water Revenue is at 95.6% of predicted collection, possibly due to voluntary conservation. Sewer and Drainage Revenue is also down but the increase of rates will start the end of the month. The Golf Complex Revenue is continuing to stay up but Golf Complex Expenditures are 18% over the forecast. Exhibit F summarizes the out of balance condition. The revenue has not grown as quickly as the expenses. McCarthy explained that there has been some concern over the changing forecast which can't be helped. An analysis has been prepared to show the difference between a pessimistic, conservative, realistic or optimistic forecast to illustrate the variation possible. Exhibit G summarizes the Street Fund which is dedicated to corridor improvements and setting up grant matching funds. Registration Fees have been set aside for streets. Exhibit H outlines the Capital Improvement Fund. When the CIP was reviewed last year the municipal court and emergency lighting were highly rated but the plan was not adopted. Exhibit I reflects the Criminal Justice Fund which has been used by the Police Department as well as domestic violence programs through Housing and Community Services. These funds also have some restrictions for new programs as opposed to shifting projects from other budgets. The Association of Washington Cities is conducting a survey on these issues as well as the State Auditor. Exhibit J details the Internal Services Fund which includes Central Services, Information Services and Equipment Rental. Equipment Rental is being analyzed due to overcollection for reducing 1993 rates by approximately 15%. Chairperson Houser asked if there were any questions. Bill Doolittle questioned Exhibit H, which shows the $50,000 for the Performing Arts Center matching funds with King County. He stated that at a Parks Committee meeting the Task Force had asked to use the funds to hire a consultant instead of the matching and it was Doolittle's understanding that the Operations Committee would make a determination. Houser responded that she had agreed to hear a presentation but it has not yet been brought to the Committee for review. Fire Lieutenant Willits asked if the municipal court has been funded. McCarthy replied that it had been taken off the list since the plan was not adopted but could be added back if there was additional money in the balance. Doolittle expressed his concern that the frozen positions not be a factor in the 1993 budget and asked when they would disappear. Houser responded that she did not have an answer but it could be part of budget negotiations. Chairperson Houser adjourned the meeting at 2:55 p.m. 3 BRENDA JACOBER W�ff^"�" (please put in CITY OF l Council agenda packet) a CITY COUNCIL PLANNING COMMITTEE MINUTES JULY 21, 1992 4 : 00 PM COMMITTEE MEMBERS PRESENT OTHER CITY STAFF Leona Orr, Chair Tom Brubaker Jon Johnson Roger Lubovich Judy Woods Alana McIalwain May Miller PLANNING STAFF GUESTS Lin Ball Jim Harris Bill Doolittle Margaret Porter Paul Hammerschmidt Laura Yeats-Quilici Cheryl & Jim Noble Fred Satterstrom WORK RELEASE Paul Hamerschmidt explained that citizens brought this issue to the City Council initially as a reaction to the Regional Justice Center and because of citizen concern over the City' s actions in relationship to the Justice Center. Mr. Hammerschmidt stated he never saw a sign posted indicating that a Justice Center was being proposed and feels that the City is not communicating with its citizens. Therefore, a group of citizens have created regulations addressing heights and signage for facilities such as the justice center or a work release center. Planning Manager Fred Satterstrom explained that a work release facility would be limited in size under Class III Group Homes, is allowed by conditional use permit which requires a public notification process, and is not permitted within residential zones. Mr. Satterstrom further explained that City and County officials met and it was determined that the City of Kent would post the public notice signs for the justice center. He explained that the City' s 41x4 ' public notice sign is used for land use issues requiring a public hearing. Since this was a SEPA (State Environmental Policy Act) action and a public hearing was not required, the smaller, red laminated signs used for SEPA were posted at the Naden and Howard Manufacturing/Northwest Metals sites. Chair Orr asked staff to prepare a proposal explaining what distances are allowable, the maximum distance that can be used to site this type of facility and whether or not those distances would eliminate the facility from being placed within the city limits, CITY COUNCIL PLANNING COMMITTEE MINUTES JULY 21, 1992 PAGE 2 and a better public notification process especially for land uses as discussed above. GROWTH MANAGEMENT UPDATE - (F. SATTERSTROM) Planning Manager Fred Satterstrom announced that the countywide planning policies were adopted by the King County Council on July 6, 1992 and became effective July 16, 1992 . A group of dissatisfied property owners intend to file a referendum and need 39 , 000 signatures by mid-August in order to place the referendum on the fall ballot. The next step is for ratification of the planning policies by 30% of the cities representing 70% of the population. Discussion on ratification of the planning policies will be at the Planning Committee's August 18 , 1992 meeting. The Planning Committee discussed urban growth area boundaries at its June 16, 1992 meeting. The Committee requested that various City departments supply information on servicing the Covington area. Currently, information has been received from all except one department and will be discussed at the Committee's August 4, 1992 meeting. At the last Planning Committee meeting Planning Manager Fred Satterstrom explained that the City of Kent is being asked to extend the term of the Growth Management Planning Council (GMPC) through a revised interlocal agreement which extends the duration of the agreement until the completion of the duties of the GMPC. The Planning Committee recommended the agreement be approved with the addition of an expiration date of December 31, 1992 . Mr. Satterstrom has since talked with Judy Chapman of the King County Council staff and learned that not all GMPC duties will be completed by December 31, for example, one of the framework policies specifically states that the GMPC will reconvene in July 1993 to consider amendments to the countywide planning policies. According to Ms. Chapman, the City of Kent' s action to fix an expiration date would constitute an unratified agreement which would not be consistent with their ratification policy. Mr. Satterstrom stated that the interlocal agreement was not placed on the July 21, 1992 City Council agenda, and asked the Committee if it would like to adhere to its earlier action of adding a December 31, 1992 deadline or approve the revised interlocal agreement as originally presented. Council President Woods MOVED and Councilmember Johnson SECONDED a motion to approve the revised interlocal agreement as originally presented. Motion carried. This item will be placed on the August 4 , 1992 City Council agenda. CITY COUNCIL PLANNING COMMITTEE MINUTES JULY 21, 1992 PAGE 3 1993 HUMAN SERVICES FUNDING (L. BALL) Lin Ball, Manager of the Office of Housing and Human Services, explained that the total amount of human services funding for 1993 is $4, 456 less than 1992 , therefore, funding levels for many agencies were reduced and funding for one agency was eliminated. Ms. Ball speculated that Council members may receive inquiries from agencies as a result of the decreases in funding and discussed a document detailing the process and rationale the Human Services Commission used in making their recommendations. AFFORDABLE HOUSING (L YEATS-OUILICI) Planner Laura Yeats-Quilici distributed an affordable housing update, reviewed the deadlines specified by the countywide policies regarding affordable housing as recently adopted by the King County Council, and discussed how credits or adjustments can be made to the allocation formula. Ms. Quilici explained the purpose of the guidelines is to avoid overconcentration of low and moderate income housing throughout the county and to provide housing where there is low wage employment. Ms. Quilici also noted that Framework Policy #2 of the countywide policies states that one month from ratification interim strategies for affordable housing must be in place until the City's regulations and comprehensive plan are adopted. ADDED ITEMS Regarding the West Hill Island Annexation, Tom Brubaker explained Ordinance No. 3049 adopted by the city Council on July 7 , 1992 must be repealed because the SEPA comment period has not yet expired. Council President Woods MOVED and Chair Orr SECONDED a motion to repeal Ordinance No. 3049 and accept the SEPA review process. This will be sent to the City Council on August 4 , 1992 . Motion carried. ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at approximately 5 : 15 p.m. PC0721.92
