A RESOLUTION of the City Council of the
City of Kent, Washington, repealing Resolution No.
698, and establishing new procedures related to
relocation assistance for city projects not receiving
federal financial assistance.
RECITALS
A. On June 21, 1971, the city council adopted Resolution No.
698, which assured compliance with the land acquisition requirements of
Title III of the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition
Policies Act of 1970 ("Uniform Act").
B. The Uniform Act, passed by Congress in 1970, is a federal law
that establishes minimum standards related to relocation payments for
federally funded programs and projects that require the acquisition of real
property or displace persons from homes, farms or other businesses. The
Uniform Act's protections and assistance apply to the acquisition,
rehabilitation, or demolition of real property for federal or federally funded
projects.
C. The City is bound by the Uniform Act and Chapter 8.26 RCW,
pertaining to relocation assistance, for all projects receiving federal

financial assistance, and there is no need to adopt additional requirements
beyond these requirements.
D. Pursuant to RCW 8.26.010(2), the governing body of the city
may elect to opt out of certain relocation assistance programs if a project
is financed solely through city funds. Relocation payments can sometimes
prove cost-prohibitive for completion of smaller public works projects.
E. Nothing in this resolution abrogates the rights of the people to
due process and just compensation, as provided in both the Washington
constitution and the United States Constitution, when private property is
taken by the government for a public purpose.
