Council to hold public hearings on $5.3 million streets, parks measures Separate levies would raise property taxes, fill maintenance gaps

BY MATT PHELPS mphelps@kirklandreporter.com

T

he Kirkland City Council will hold public hearings on two proposed ballot measures, one for parks and one for roads, that could

raise property tax revenue a combined $5.3 million.

The hearings will take place during the council’s regular meeting on Tuesday at Kirkland City Hall.

The city has battled tough budget issues during the past five years with sales-tax

revenue dropping from $16 million annually to $12 million. The levies are meant to bring in revenue to help areas of city maintenance that have been hurt by the economic downturn and seen as important by public surveys.

If both measures are placed on the November ballot and passed by voters, they will cost the average property owner 36 cents per $1,000 of assessed value each year, or $127.04 for a home at the median Kirkland value of $349,000.

Both measures are being considered but would be

placed on the ballot separately.

The street improvement and pedestrian safety levy would provide funding to repair potholes, repave and enhance arterials and neighborhood streets. It would also provide safe walking and biking routes to schools, and improve

And she had perhaps the greatest motivation to do so - her father, Leslie. He was diagnosed with a rare blood disease, amyloidosis, last October.

“I was really freaked

out and scared,” said Aja of when she found out her father was sick. Aja, of Kirkland, is a fifth grader at Cedar Park Christian School in Bothell.

Leslie went in for a routine doctor check-up and a urinalysis found he had too much protein. After a kidney biopsy and several

bone marrow biopsies, doctors diagnosed Leslie with the rare blood disease.

“It’s called amyloidosis and the blood cells basically clone themselves and then they attach to live organs and they shut down the live organs,” he explained.

“They treat it as cancer and it’s rare. I’m one of the rare,

few lucky ones.”

Leslie said at the time of his diagnosis his biggest concern was raising his daughter and 6-year-old son.

A Spanaway man, who was charged in the death of his ex-wife, was found dead Monday in Kirkland.

Scott Kagawa’s body was discovered by landscapers in an apparent suicide near his motherin-law’s apartment complex in Kirkland. The man’s car was found on July 2 with a handwritten suicide note, according Scott Kagawa to Pierce County Sherrif ’s officials. He was charged with his wife’s murder on July 5.

Kagawa appeared on the Crime Stoppers website after a felony warrant was issued for his arrest for first-degree murder.

The posting even states that the man may be suicidal.

Kagawa disappeared after Pierce County Sheriff ’s detectives interviewed him in the death of his ex-wife Rita Kagawa. During the interview, the man did not deny killing the woman, according to police records. The Thurston County Coroner’s Office [ more KAGAWA page 13 ]

Construction on NE 104th St Contractor Lakeside Industries will be working with the City of Kirkland to resurface sections of four streets in Kirkland.

Construction activity is expected on NE 104th Street through the third week of July. Watch for signs of construction on Market Street as early as the second week in July.

All four street sections are anticipated to be complete

by October.

The first of the four streets is NE 104th Street - from 128th Ave NE to 132nd Ave NE. The sec-

ond street is Market Street – from Forbes Creek Drive to 16th Ave. The two other streets include NE 124th Street - from 93rd Ave NE to 100th Ave NE - and NE 124th Street, from 124th Ave NE to Slater Ave/132nd Ave NE. It is possible that construction schedules may change due to weather conditions. Typical hours of operation are 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday-Friday.

authority for the Park and Recreation District expires in 2014. District officials have not decided if it would disband immediately if the levy passes or wait until 2014 and use those funds to make improvements.

The council also authorized the recruitment for members to serve on the “pro” and “con” committees who will be tasked to write statements in support and in opposition of the proposed ballot measures to be included in the voter’s pamphlet.

The hearings will be held during the regular council meeting, which begins at 7:30 p.m. in the Council Chamber, Kirkland City Hall, 123 5th Ave.

road conditions. Road conditions are rated on a scale of 0-100 Pavement Condition Index (PCI) with an 85 PCI being optimal. The overall PCI of Kirkland roads is at 66, with arterials at a 59 PCI. The levy is projected to improve the arterials to a 76 PCI. The city has an existing back log at $39 million of work.

“The challenge with roads and streets is that if you don’t do it now you will pay more to fix the problem later,” said Triplett.

Triplett said that the levy would help to fix over 90-lane miles in Kirkland or over half the major arterials.

The levy would also allow the city to perform preventative maintenance on 650-lane miles of local and neighborhood streets.

“This will touch every single area in Kirkland,” said Triplett.

The city has changed course when it comes to paying for road maintenance.

City officials briefly took up the idea of a Transportation Benefit District, or car-tab tax. But the issue became a lightning rod, drawing opposition from Kirkland residents and even Mukilteo resident Tim Eyman to a public hearing to speak against the idea.

EDITORIAL

Health-care ruling doesn’t fix the system

T

he U.S. Supreme Court’s upholding of most of President Obama’s health-care law doesn’t end the discussion of health care in this country. Fixing the system has a long way to go.

The court’s 5-4 decision was somewhat of a surprise. Conservatives had argued that Congress could not use the concept of interstate commerce to force everyone to buy health insurance.

The court’s majority decision essentially agreed with that.

However, Chief Justice John Roberts and the four liberals on the court said the government’s move amounted to a tax – and that is something well within the power of Congress. People still won’t have to buy health insurance, but they will face a tax liability if they don’t.

As much as the health-care debate has centered on legal arguments, the fact remains that our health system is flawed. The new law will fix some of that, but we still have a long, long way to go.

Most Americans have health coverage provided by large employers. They won’t see major changes. The real impact is for the poor.

There are 32 million people in this country who are shut out from having health care. Either they are too poor to afford it or they are so sick that a private insurance company won’t provide them coverage.

The law will change much of that, by expanding Medicaid – the federal/state program that helps the poor – and by making Health Benefit Exchanges available where people can compare costs and benefits of health insurance programs.

However, these improvements come at a cost – or at least a concern. Making sure all people have health insurance means

more people will be seeing physicians. Today, there are not enough doctors to treat all these new, potential patients.

The health-care debate will continue – it is, after all, a presidential election year. But if it’s done nothing else, the Supreme Court’s decision has forced politicians and the public to face this issue.

That, at least, is a start.

Thank you for giving community a sense of connection I want to say thank you for publishing the graduation announcement for Grant Wilson. We have lived in Kirkland since my son was 5, so I feel it’s nice to have his teachers see that all the hard work they put into educating their students has contributed to their success. I attribute their dedication to instilling a love for learning into both my grown childrens’ outlook on life.

So this note is simply a thank you for providing this service, which helps give our community members a sense of connection, as time moves forward and native Kirklanders try to make a difference in this world.

Barbara Wilson, Kirkland

Tell us the whole truth about health care costs Now that the health care mandate has been modified (it’s a tax stupid) and passed by the Supreme Court, we are going to hear waves of information about reducing health care costs.

One very important element that is not talked about is our own personal responsibility for good health. We are a very overweight society, which drives up health care costs. It has been reported that Medicare costs could be reduced by one-third if we eliminated obesity, which is rampant in the U.S. Will one of our leaders from DC (or locally) ever come before us and

tell us the whole truth about health care costs? These costs could be reduced dramatically if each of us would take responsibility for personal health by eating nutritious food and exercising regularly. I know our leaders can’t dictate our habits, but they can at least identify and talk about what each of us can and should do to improve personal health and thereby reduce health care costs.

Don McConaghy, Kirkland

Thank you for stepping up to feed kids in need I want to share a success story with you that says a lot about Kirkland.

This summer there will be at least 100 additional sack lunches ready to augment the federally-sponsored, Kirkland Summer Feeding Program that begins on Tuesday at 132nd Square Park. Because federal rules penalize over-ordering, the incentive is to under estimate the number of lunches.

Since this is the first year Kirkland is running the program, there is no experience to form a good estimate of how many kids will show up for the sack lunches. Yesterday, an appeal went out to as many emails as I could find that I guessed were not involved in ongoing food programs. I provided opportunities for folks to provide five extra lunches in case the estimates were short. Kirkland responded!

Next Tuesday, there will be 20 extra sack lunches for the kids. In fact, Kirkland volunteers filled every slot within 24 hours to ensure there will be up to 20 additional lunches, if

needed, EVERY week throughout this summer’s program.

Still, there are a couple of organizations that mustered support beyond the available slots. The Band of Brother NW and the Lake Washington Optimists have generated power to spare, beyond this program. They are eager to assist even more and are coordinating with other programs in the area to see where they may, yet, be of help.

As one volunteer said, “It is much better to have extra that some child may take home than to look a hungry kid in the face when you have just given out the last sack lunch.” This rapid response to need is a great testament to Kirkland’s character and generosity. I salute all those who were able to sign up.

For those who still want to help, HopeLink has a very well-run, and more comprehensive, End Summer Hunger Program that serves a much broader audience than the Summer Feeding Program that is just starting.

You may join in helping that program by visiting: www.hope-link.org/take_ action/end_summer_hunger/ I just can’t express sufficient thanks to everyone whose heart was touched by the need. The community need is certainly great right now. You will have additional opportunities to become part of Kirkland’s Nourishing Network as a new program is rolled out this autumn. In the meantime, if you want to be added to Kirkland’s Nourishing Network email list, just send me (dasher@scn.org) your email. Thanks, Kirkland!

My God teaches only love towards all Several weeks ago a writer mentioned some of the hate remarks of a few ministers concerning gays. As a Zionist Christian, I apologize for the apostic remarks any so-called Christian minister makes. Those were not the remarks of true Christians.

Today the Body of Christ is having a problem with apostasy in church ranks. Most of Christianity today is in turmoil, because it has forgotten the Word of God or ignored it over the centuries to satisfy the unfaithful within their ranks. The Christian words of today are not necessarily those written down by our Apostle Paul, as told to him by our Lord.

Christians would rather listen to a minister, Bible teacher or learn from church literature that is far from accurate, than really put some effort into the personal study of all Bible scripture. The church of today is not the church that the Apostle Paul taught us about. Otherwise, there would be no church denominations in Christianity.

Because the physical church has wondered so far from the Truth of God, many will not find it. I could sit here all day talking about the false traditions of today’s Christianity, but what good would that do, it is only going to get worse.

So when you hear hateful words coming out of a so-called Christian mouth, remember what I just said.

Because my God, the God of Noah and Abraham, teaches only love.

City Manager gives State of the City address Kirkland City Manager Kurt Triplett gave the State of the City address at the Chamber of Commerce’s monthly luncheon at The Woodmark Hotel on Tuesday. But in Triplett’s way of thinking, it is more of a state of livability address.

“Kirkland is a quality of life city,” said Triplett. “For businesses, two-thirds are here because the founder or owner lives here.”

He said the state of the city is looking brighter, but there is still more work to do.

With the economy no longer in steep decline, the city has moved forward with the 2012 Work Program that includes many needed improvements to keep up with last year’s annexation, needs in the business community and regular city-wide maintenance.

Triplett explained that the city received $16 million in sales tax revenue in 2007 but that income declined to $12 million last year. There is still a forecast of a 4-5 percent reduction in the budget this year as well.

“The good news is that this is based on very conservative assumptions,” said Triplett.

The city is attempting to resolve some collective bargaining agreements that would help in closing the continued budget gap.

“We have had a great relationship,” said Triplett of recent negotiations that resulted in wage freezes.

Triplett said that King County instated health care reforms, which has saved $61,000 and the city is attempting to do the same.

The Kirkland City Council is also expected to pass two ballot measures for November on Tuesday. The measures will let voters decide if they want to fill the budget gap for road maintenance and parks with new property tax levies. For more on this, see the story on page 1.

A recent survey the city conducted showed that 85 percent of Kirkland residents surveyed said the city is a very good or excellent place to live. Triplett showed the survey results to his son, who is in middle school.

“He said that we got a ‘B,’” said Triplett. “I told him that if a ‘B’ isn’t good enough in his report card it is not good enough for me or the council.”

Survey participants expressed that funding public safety is their top concern.

The city is preparing to renovate a building in the Totem Lake neighborhood for a new public safety building, which will house the police department, jail and courts. The project will cost an estimated $40 million.

“Our AAA credit rating saved us a lot of money on this project,” said Triplett.

Renovating the building, as opposed to building a brand new one, also saved the city an estimated $12-15 million, said Triplett.

Triplett also noted other large city projects to improve Kirkland’s livability, such as the Northeast 85th Street Corridor improvements and the Cross Kirkland Corridor Master Plan.

The city purchased the old BNSF rail line earlier this year to be used for pedestrians and other modes of transportation.

The project could have an estimated $3 million in funding for renovations of the old rail line. If the parks levy passes, it would substantially add to that total.

The survey also showed that recycling is also very important, said Triplett, as a Waste Management official in the audience agreed.

But along with recycling, the survey showed concern

for street maintenance, along with attracting and keeping local businesses.

Triplett talked about how the city dodged a big budget cut as the annexation sales tax credit remained intact through the state’s budget cuts.

Totem Lake continues to be a priority for the city as it rezoned much of the business neighborhood to make it “easier to bring in jobs,” said Triplett. The city has also done work to make sure that Totem Lake Boulevard does not flood during heavy rains as it did in 2010.

“We have done some dredging and removed some beaver dams,” said Triplett.

“When we had the record rainfalls, we did not have a single road closure.”

Much of the Totem Lake issue revolves around the Totem Lake Malls’ land, which is mostly out of the city’s control as the property’s co-owners are in court with a large lawsuit.

Park Place is also at a standstill with redevelopment as developer Touchstone is currently seeking anchor tenants for the property, said Triplett.

He hopes those anchor tenants will also add to Kirkland’s livability.

Join QFC to Support the USO When people think of the USO, many think of entertainment and the stage shows that have lifted the spirits of troops in combat and remote military locations around the world. And while entertainment has been and continues to be a valuable service provided by the USO, it is only a small part of the many programs and services provided by this nonprofit organization.

Since 1941 the USO, United Service Organizations, has been supporting American troops and their families in a multitude of ways. This is why QFC is proud to support the great work of the USO by making it our Charity of the Month for July.

Just about wherever the U.S. military goes, the USO is also there trying to help make the lives of our troops a little bit better.

Three of the services that the USO provides to troops in remote locations are Care Packages, MEGS and USO in a Box. Care package items are purchased directly from or donated by manufacturers and are purchased using donations. The USO works

closely with the Department of Defense to distribute packages. MEGS stands for Mobile Entertainment Gaming System.

It is a highly durable, easy-to-assemble and disassemble multimedia platform that troops can use to play video games. It supports up to four players and can be set up wherever soldiers are stationed. USO in a Box is small, 250-square-foot portable building that can accommodate up to 20 troops. It has heat or air conditioning for whatever environment it is in and holds features such as Internet access, two rugged laptops, four flat screen televisions, a DVD player, Voice Over Internet Phone and more.

Another valuable service is USO Centers.

There are over 160 USO Centers in countries around the world where thousands of troops and their families can come to relax, contact loved ones back home, get something to eat and take advantage of various USO programs and services. These centers are often the first support stop for wounded, ill or injured servicemen and women and their families before returning to the U.S.

Back here in the U.S., the USO is constructing two warrior and family centers -- one at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., and one in Fort Belvoir, Va. as part of Operation Enduring Care. The program’s goal is to provide physical and emotional support and to help troops restore their wounded lives in a warm and caring environment.

Unfortunately, not every military member returns home alive. When troops die outside the U.S., the USO has a program to help their loved ones called Families of the Fallen. The bodies of those who have died

overseas are flown to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware and many families travel there to witness the return. The USO works with families to expedite the travel process to Dover, supports the families’ on-site needs, and introduces parents, spouses, peers and children to special programs to help cope with their grief when they return home.

The USO stands an exemplary organization that is making a difference in the lives of thousands of troops and their families. If you would like to support their efforts we invite you to make a donation at any QFC checkstand. Thank you for your support!

nearly $40,000, while Myers has raised $16,347 and spent nothing, according to the PDC website.

Myers, along with the King County Republican Party, is convinced that Habib was somehow financially involved in last month’s push poll phone survey of voters in the 48th District.

HARD TO FIGURE OUT It is difficult to decipher who is behind the poll, according to voters who received the phone survey.

Former longtime Redmond City Councilman Richard Cole, who retired last December, said he received the call from a person who asked questions and made positive and negative insinuations about both candidates.

“It was so balanced with pluses and minuses on each side,” Cole said. “I have no idea which party paid for it.”

Cole said the phone caller made several “blatantly untrue, outrageous” claims against both candidates, making it a “distinct possibility that neither candidate knew about it.”

Cole, who is working for the campaign of Democrat Laura Ruderman in the 1st District Congressional race, says he is staying neutral in this race because of his past

I feel strongly, as I hope my opponent does as well, that moving our state forward on education, transportation and job growth should be the focus of this race, not insinuations regarding my ethnicity.”

The King County Democrat Party was also not responsible for the poll, according to the party’s communications and technology chairman Andrew Villeneuve. “Our view is that people who pay for push polls are wasting their money,” Villeneuve said. “If you’re trying to do legitimate opinion research, you have to ask neutral questions, otherwise the answers you get will be of no use.”

Mountain West officials did not respond to Reporter’s attempts for comment.

If either candidate was responsible for the poll, it will come out July 17, the next PDC filing deadline, according to PDC spokeswoman Lori Anderson. Any campaign spending must be itemized and reported to the PDC each month.

ClearChoice team of specialists brings you a dental implant solution that fits your budget ... in just one day!* A LEADER IN DENTAL IMPLANT TREATMENT Virtually every adult will lose a tooth, and as we get older, more Americans will suffer with missing and failing teeth. These days, however, there are dental implant solutions that either didn’t exist in the past or which were difficult to access. But now, ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers are leading the way in innovative dental implant treatments. Dental Implants are a permanent solution for dental problems. And now your treatment, from our team of specialists, can often be accomplished in just one day *… and without the need for additional bone graft surgeries.

With more than 10,000 dental implant procedures performed, ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers have become a leader in dental implant treatment delivery.

TECHNOLOGY Every ClearChoice Dental Implant Center includes an on-site 3D CAT Scan.

The 3D CAT Scan technology costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. This technology provides three-dimensional and cross-sectional views that allow ClearChoice doctors to examine the quality and density of the bone that will anchor the dental implants; select the correct type and size of implants; determine the precise placement of implants, and avoid the nerves and sinuses.

Since every smile is custom designed, each ClearChoice Center has a specialized Dental Implant in-house lab to custom make your smile.

They said they had specialists, a lab, and high tech equipment all at one location, but I had no idea that they could really do all of this in just one day!* — Actual ClearChoice patient

Leslie received a stem cell transplant last December at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance – the treatment arm of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.

Because he didn’t have any symptoms, he said he went into Seattle Cancer Care Alliance feeling great and came out “feeling like I had just been through it … I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. It totally destroys your GI tract from one end to the other completely.”

He said the chemotherapy left him without an immune system, so he couldn’t be around his children for several months.

“We stayed with my mom when he was gone,” said Aja. “We got to visit him a few times at his house. It was really hard.”

Following his treatment, Leslie had a lot of unused equipment and supplies leftover that he gave back to Seattle Cancer Care Alliance.

“Part of the conversation was, what happens when people don’t have money, and that was kind of the impetus behind this,” said Leslie. “Aja said she wanted to help

Clean cars, clean creeks Though a time-honored tradition, we now know that washing your car in your driveway or on a

neighborhood street pollutes waterways via storm drains. The rinse water from your car contains road grime, oil, grease, heavy metals, and soap. Even small amounts of these pollutants are toxic to fish and other aquatic animals.

Letting your car wash water go into a storm drain not only pollutes your lakes and creeks, it’s also against the law (Kirkland Municipal Code Chapter 15.52).

What can you do? Wash your car at a commercial car wash. They are required to send polluted wash water to the sanitary sewer system, which cleans and treats water before it is discharged to Puget Sound. If you wash your car at home, wash it on a grassy or gravel area, where the wash water will soak into the soil and won’t drain directly to a storm drain.

What about car wash fund raisers? If hosting a car wash fund raiser, make sure to borrow a required Car Wash Kit from Kirkland City Hall to keep dirty car wash water out of creeks and lakes, or consider raising money by selling commercial car wash tickets through the Charity Car Wash Program instead.

For more information, visit www.kirklandwa.gov/ depart/Public_Works/ Storm___Surface_Water/ Prevent_Water_Pollution/ Car_Washing.htm.

Home burglary allegation unsubstantiated After responding to a report of a home burglary on Tuesday morning, Kirkland police determined that the allegation was unsubstantiated.

Kirkland police responded to the burglary in the North Rose Hill neighborhood, in the 12300 block of N.E. 97th St. at 8 a.m.

The caller reported seeing a male within the home with a weapon. Officers investigated the allegation and conducted a K9 track.

There was no sign of forced entry to the home and nothing was taken, said Kirkland police officials.

No suspect was located.

The investigation determined the report was unsubstantiated and no further investigation will be conducted.
