Scroll down to where it says, "March 5, 2013 7:00PM". Look all the way over on the right. Left click, where it says, "Video". A new window will open. Left click where it says, "Windows Media Player". There will be a long pause, while the system thinks about your request. Eventually, another window will open. About two minutes of guitar music will play. If you want to skim this, slide the marker over to about 2:00 minutes. The video will begin with the Pledge of Allegiance, and a City of Kent Council member, “Roll Call”. The video quality is somewhat acceptable. The audio quality (not the audio volume) is low, and sometimes is very poor (especially when the Mayor is speaking).

Shortly thereafter, the Council begins to discuss the Local Improvement District (LID) for the improvement and widening of S.E. 256th Street. Various engineers and other City of Kent personnel present pertinent information to the Council.
This video of the Council meeting is 3 hours, fifteen minutes long. So just skip to the important parts.
