Isaac said Living Well Kent took over management from the Lions Club, which ran the market for many years, and thanked the club for 25 years of service. \"We are grateful for our partnership with the city of Kent,\" Isaac said. She asked the public and council to help recruit more vendors and noted the market's opening will include a ribbon cutting with Mayor Dana Ralph.

Isaac provided operational details: the market will have entertainment appropriate for families, an area for food trucks, and plans to be more community-centered in its operations. She said Living Well Kent has created a dedicated website for the market, kentfarmersmarket.com, and provided contact via info@livingwellkent.com. Isaac said \"so far, we have about 30'35 vendors listed with us,\" and asked for help recruiting additional vendors.

Council members acknowledged the Lions Club's long stewardship and welcomed Living Well Kent's plans.

Kasner introduced Officer Tristan McDaniel and Officer Nicholas Long, describing their backgrounds and welcoming family members for the swearing-in. Kasner also said the department promoted two new sergeants last week: Sergeant Lovisa Dvorak, an 18-year Kent Police Department veteran, and Sergeant Chelsea Bridal, with seven years in the department.

On other items Kasner told the council the department is \"continuing a thorough investigation into the death at the city of Kent Correctional Facility. Toxicology results are pending,\" and that the delay is due to reliance on outside toxicology testing. He also announced that traffic school has been reinstated and directed residents to the police department webpage for information on eligibility and application steps. Kasner summarized the program's purpose: \"Traffic school is a refresher on maybe the violation that you committed... it will be deferred off your record, and it does have an impact on your insurance rates.\"

Mayor Dana Ralph and council members asked no substantive follow-up questions during the report. Kasner closed by inviting further questions and noting the department will provide updates when the toxicology results are available.","At the May 20 Kent City Council meeting Assistant Chief Kasner introduced two newly sworn police officers and announced two promotions.

City transportation planner David Payne presented the TIP, describing the six-year cycle and outreach that informed the update. Payne said the TIP will cover the 2026'2031 period and described the process for moving projects from plans into a six-year window to pursue grant funding and project development.

The presentation listed six proposed additions to the TIP, including a BNSF Railway Corridor crossing safety study funded in part by a Federal Railroad Administration Reconnecting Communities grant and local matches from Sound Transit and Amtrak; pedestrian hybrid beacon (PHB) safety projects on Pacific Highway (SR 99); multimodal connections on Reath Road; and a continuous pedestrian facility on Military Road South. Payne summarized earlier projects removed from the TIP because they were completed, including pedestrian improvements on 132nd Avenue Southeast and preservation work on East Valley Highway.

Mayor Dana Ralph opened the public hearing on the TIP and invited public testimony; the clerk reported no sign-ups and no written testimony was received. Council members had no substantive questions during the hearing. Council President Coore moved to adopt Resolution No. 2088; a second was offered and the council approved the resolution by voice vote.

Council member Fincher expressed support: \"I love everything in there, especially that last slide,\" and noted the work would take years to complete.

The adopted TIP now provides the city an approved, six-year project table to pursue grants and begin project development on the listed transportation and safety projects. Staff will proceed with grant applications and project-level planning as funding and schedules allow.","The Kent City Council on May 20 adopted Resolution No. 2088, approving the city's six-year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for 2026'2031 after a staff presentation and a public hearing with no public testimony.","actionData","errors"]
