unanticipated project delays and is needed to complete the reconstruction of Sunset Lane NE to meet
current City Street standards and to provide connection to NE 12th St.
EXHIBITS:
A. ROAD CLOSURE NARRATIVE, MAPS AND TRAFFIC CONTROL PLAN
B. RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE EXTENDED TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF SUNSET LANE
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the extension of the temporary full street closure for an 850-foot-long portion of Sunset Lane NE
between NE 10th St and Harrington Pl NE for the Solera Master Site Plan Project (former Hi-Lands Shopping
Center) for a period not to exceed eleven (11) months, extending the street closure from October 4, 2023 to
September 1, 2024 and adopt a resolution authorizing the closure to accommodate the continued
construction of the project.
AGENDA ITEM #6. c)
Continuation of Proposed Sunset Closure (Narrative)
This “Sunset Lane Narrative” is designed to provide information relevant to the continuation of
the Temporary Road Closure of Jefferson (formerly known as Sunset Lane). The continuation of
the Road Closure is being requested to extend from October 4th, 2023, until September 1st,
2024 at which time Heartland anticipates being complete with Building A NORTH & SOUTH
Towers (referred to as Block A) in its entirety including the completion of all Civil Improvements
including those along Jefferson, 11th, and Harrington. This includes all of Blocks A, B, and D
(shown in the attached Exhibit 1)
I. Continued Jefferson (formerly known as Sunset Lane) Closure Map (Exhibit 2)
II. Solera Safety Concerns & Benefits to Continued Closure
Heartland Construction is requesting the continuation of the Sunset Closure for the
primary reasons:
1. Public Safety
2. Vehicular Safety
3. Pedestrian Safety
4. Construction worker safety & the interfacing with general public
within an active work zone which would include daily closures and
access concerns
5. Access for Emergency Vehicles
The following benefits in keeping Jefferson (formerly referred to as Sunset Lane) closed during
Construction activities are as follows:
ii. Prevents construction workers including delivery trucks supplying materials,
equipment operations and normal construction activities from interacting
with the general public. This creates a safer environment for both the general
public and construction personnel and eliminates the potential of serious
injury or fatality.
iii. It will prevent the general public interacting with construction personnel
from potentially creating a hazardous condition and causing a vehicular
accident in an active CONSTRUCTION WORK ZONE during construction
activities while eliminating the potential of serious injury or fatality.
iv. It will prevent the general public’s pedestrians from interacting with
construction workers which will eliminate the potential of an accident
occurring in an active CONSTRUCTION WORK ZONE and ensure Public
Safety. This eliminates the possibility of a serious injury or a fatality.
v. It will prevent individuals who are routinely and commonly trying to access
the Project while under the influence of narcotics, drugs, and alcohol from
entering into an active “Construction Work Area” which will eliminate the
potential for a serious injury or fatality.
vi. It will allow First Responders better access to the Project by not having to
focus on the general public while responding to an emergency.
vii. It will increase productivity for construction workers which will allow the
Project to be completed sooner for the Renton Highlands neighborhood and
the City of Renton.

IV. Reasons for Continuation & Request for Road Closure
Over the life of the Project, Heartland Construction has experienced numerous scheduling
impacts directly related to existing underground utilities, and their locations as shown within the
approved and permitted Civil Drawings. In addition, many of the utility companies such as PSE
Power, PSE Natural Gas, and other critical underground utilities such as Communication
providers are behind schedule in both design and are shorthanded with qualified staff to perform
and execute the utility infrastructure work for a Project of this size and complexity, thus, delaying
Heartland from completing and executing its work.
This Project had overcome most all the challenges up until the “Solera Schedule 73 UG Power
Infrastructure” work began which is the underground power plan for both Buildings A & B, as
well as the infrastructure for surrounding properties. This power runs and ties in from 10th and
goes right through the center of Jefferson, 11th, and crosses 12th Street. This work was originally
scheduled to be completed in June; and had this been accomplished, Heartland Construction
would have been able to complete the minimum necessary work in order to have reopened
Jefferson (formerly known as Sunset Lane on or before October 4th, 2023) as planned.
Unfortunately, PSE still is changing the underground infrastructure (Schedule 73 Drawings) and
as of 10.16.23, Heartland still doesn’t have a completed design. PSE continues to modify and add
to the original design without warning which is creating difficulty in projecting and scheduling
the work necessary to complete the underground portion of this scope of work.
Regardless of these impacts, we have begun despite the design not being complete, (awaiting
added vaults and completed design). Multiple additional vaults were just added to the overall
design by PSE as of 10.10.23 and have a current lead time of between 4-12 weeks depending on
vault sizes, configuration and other special considerations or requirements. Once the underground
power pathway has been installed and is completed, a significant amount of work remains which
will need to be completed prior to allowing Jefferson, and 11th to be opened to the general public.
AGENDA ITEM #6. c)
Our priority and commitment to the City of Renton is to make available the roadways and
walkways available as soon as possible to reduce the construction impact while keeping the
public safe. We believe this plan being submitted accomplishes this objective.

AB - 3472
City Council Regular Meeting - 20 Nov 2023
SUBJECT/TITLE:Preparation for Special Election Ballot Initiative
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Council Concur
DEPARTMENT: Executive Services Department
STAFF CONTACT:Kristi Rowland, Deputy CAO
EXT.:6947
FISCAL IMPACT SUMMARY:
If the measure is approved by either voters or the Council, the administration anticipates requesting additional
staffing to conduct education, certification processing, and enforcement. If the ordinance is sent to the
County for a public vote, the City’s estimated costs payable to the County for administering the election are
$80,000. Total costs are dependent upon how costs will be shared between other jurisdictions with ballot
initiatives being considered in the same election.
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The City of Renton authorizes the use of initiatives and referendums for voters to supersede the City Council’s
authority to adopt and amend certain laws.
On August 31, 2023, the City Clerk received Renton Initiative 23-02, titled “Ordinance Concerning Labor
Standards for Certain Employees.” The initiative is modeled after an initiative that was passed by voters in
Tukwila in 2022. The ordinance would create a Renton minimum wage based upon Tukwila’s voter approved
minimum wage, regulations about when hours must be offered to part time employees before making new
hires or subcontracting work, and rules against retaliation. It would require the City to create and enforce
rules, including a compliance certification. There is some flexibility in how much resources the City would be
required to dedicate toward enforcement and public education about the ordinances requirements, as most
of the enforcement could occur through courts. However, the less the City invests into enforcement and
education, the higher the risk that employers will intentionally or unintentionally violate the ordinance and
both employees and employers will incur costly litigation as a result.
The City anticipates that King County Elections will certify that the petition has sufficient signatures prior to
the City Council’s last regular 2023 meeting.
Council Required Action/Options:
Pursuant to RCW 35.17.260, applicable to the City by the authority of RCW 35A.11.100, the Council must
either (1) pass a resolution sending the initiative to a public vote on the February 13, 2024, special election, or
(2) adopt the proposed ordinance as is without any changes. If the proposed ordinance is approved by either
a simple majority vote of the people or through the City Council’s own majority vote, the underlying ordinance
may never be amended or rescinded by the City Council except by seeking a public vote to approve the
changes (RCW 35.17.340).
AGENDA ITEM #6. d)
If the Council chooses to adopt the ordinance without changes, it will have until 20 days from the anticipated
certificate of sufficiency to do so. If the Council chooses to send the initiative to a vote of the people, the
deadline for submitting a Council approved resolution to the County Elections Office for the February 13
special election is December 15, 2023. December 15th is also the deadline for the City to send Council
appointed pro and con committee members to draft for and against statements in the special election voters’
pamphlet. The City is also required to submit on that day an explanatory statement explaining for voters the
effect of the proposed ordinance.
Attached as Exhibit A is a proposed resolution that contains a City Attorney approved ballot title, explanatory
statement, and appointment of administration recommended pro and con committee members, which would
be added prior to adoption of the resolution.
Administration's Recommendation:
The Administration recommends the Council authorize staff to publish notices seeking volunteers to serve on
pro and con committees for the initiative measure in the event it obtains sufficient signatures, and the Council
decides to put the initiative on the ballot rather than adopting it as is.
The Administration is recommending if the petition’s signatures are certified as sufficient that the Council not
pass the ordinance as is. The reasons for this recommendation include:
1. An ordinance passed through the initiative process cannot be easily amended – a public vote is required.
This could be challenging in the future if, for example: (1) the ordinance results in unanticipated impacts to
employees and/or employers, (2) state law or court decisions deem portions of the law unenforceable, (3)
administrative challenges are identified that makes the law difficult to enforce or comply with. Potential
implementation challenges are difficult to predict, but the proposed ordinance has elements that may be
subsect to future legal challenges and and/or may be difficult to enforce. For most laws to be successful, an
ability to react and change the laws over time is needed. Accordingly, if the Council desires to adopt a
minimum wage and/or require employers to offer additional hours to part time employees before employing
or contracting other services, the Administration recommends that the Council carefully consider policy
implications of such regulation and adopt its own ordinance outside of the initiative process. And,
2. The administration currently lacks resources to create and administer a certification and enforcement
process contemplated by the ordinance.
Limits on Supporting or Opposing Ballot Initiatives:
If the Council decides to send the initiative to a vote of the people, the City cannot use its resources to support
or oppose the ballot initiative except a very limited scenario: Council could hold a public hearing and allow
those who support and oppose the initiative equal time to speak. After such hearing, the Council could
choose whether to adopt a resolution in support or opposition to the initiative.
The prohibition on supporting or opposing ballot initiatives does not prevent the City from conducting its
regular business. Working on its regular business could include working on a City Council supported minimum
wage ordinance, if requested by the Council. It could also include staff gathering factual and objective
information about how the initiative, if passed, would impact the operation and finances of the City.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize staff to (1) advertise for selection of pro and con committee members after certification of sufficient signatures, (2)
place the matter on the Council meeting agenda that follows certification to approve the pro and con
committees and pass the proposed Resolution, and (3) direct the City Clerk to submit it to the King County
Office of Elections by December 15 so that the initiative may be considered as part of the February 13, 2024,
special election.

EXHIBIT A
AN ORDINANCE concerning labor standards for certain employees.
Section 1. Findings.
1. The people of the City of Renton hereby adopt this citizen initiative addressing labor
standards for certain employees, for the purpose of ensuring that, to the extent reasonably
practicable, people employed in Renton have good wages and access to sufficient hours of
work.
2. The City of Renton is one of the largest job centers in Washington State, with thousands of
shoppers and workers visiting daily to participate in the local economy. Renton is home to The
Landing shopping center, the historic Downtown Urban Center, as well as retail and commercial
office and warehouse districts around the Rainier/Grady Way Junction. The City is a net
importer of jobs, with nearly 60,000 employed workers. Renton has a wide array of both long
established and new and evolving business sectors. Retail businesses, restaurants and bars,
auto sales, hospitality, healthcare, and office workers are well represented.
3. The statewide minimum wage of $15.74 is not sufficient to afford rising rents and costs of
living in Renton. According to the National Low Income Housing Coalition’s Out of Reach 2022
report, a worker making Washington’s minimum wage would have to work 72 hours each week
(up from 70 hours each week in 2021) to afford a modest one-bedroom rental home at Fair
Market Rent.
4. When working families earn insufficient income due to low wages and involuntary under-
employment, they struggle to pay for basic necessities like health care, child care, and
groceries, and they are more likely to be evicted and become homeless.
5. Nearby King County cities of SeaTac, Seattle, and Tukwila enacted higher minimum wages in
2013, 2014, and 2022 respectively, but until now Renton has not followed suit.
6. Children growing up in poverty experience insecurity with housing, nutrition, and health care
while enduring other hardships that prevent their ability to learn in school. Full time working
parents must be able to reasonably provide for their family to ensure access to the
opportunities and promise of public education.
Section 2. Intent.
It is the intent of the people to establish fair labor standards and protect the rights of workers
by: (1) ensuring that the vast majority of employees in the City of Renton receive a minimum
wage comparable to employees in the nearby cities of Tukwila, SeaTac, and Seattle; (2)
AGENDA ITEM #6. d)
RESOLUTION NO. _______

requiring covered employers to offer additional hours of work to qualified part-time employees
before hiring new employees to fill those hours; and (3) adopting enforcement requirements.
Section 3. Large Employers Shall Pay Minimum Wages Comparable to Those in Nearby Cities.
1. Effective July 1, 2024, every large employer shall pay to each employee an hourly wage of not
less than the 2023 new minimum wage rate in the City of Tukwila, established by City of
Tukwila Initiative Measure No. 1, approved by voters in November 2022, adjusted for 2024 by
the annual rate of inflation.
2. On January 1, 2025, and on each January 1 thereafter, the hourly minimum wage shall
increase by the annual rate of inflation to maintain employee purchasing power.
3. By December 31, 2023, and by October 15 of each year thereafter, the Finance Department
shall establish and publish the applicable hourly minimum wage for the following year using the
annual rate of inflation.
4. For purposes of this chapter, the annual rate of inflation means 100 percent of the annual
average growth rate of the bi-monthly Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue Area Consumer Price Index for
Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, termed CPI-W, for the 12-month period ending in
August, provided that the percentage increase shall not be less than zero.
5. An employer must pay to its employees:
a. All tips and gratuities; and
b. All service charges as defined under RCW 49.46.160 except those that, pursuant to RCW
49.46.160, are itemized as not being payable to the employee or employees servicing the
customer.
Tips and service charges paid to an employee are in addition to, and may not count towards,
the employee’s hourly minimum wage.
Section 4. Other Covered Employers Shall Have a Multiyear Phase-In Period.
Other covered employers shall phase in the new minimum wage, as follows:
1. Effective July 1, 2024, other covered employers shall pay employees not less than the hourly
minimum wage established under Section 3 minus Two Dollars ($2) per hour.
2. Effective July 1, 2025, other covered employers shall pay employees not less than the hourly
minimum wage established under Section 3 minus One Dollar ($1) per hour.
3. Effective July 1, 2026, and thereafter, all covered employers shall pay employees not less
than the hourly minimum wage established under Section 3.

Section 5. Coverage and Employer Classifications.
1. Covered employers must pay employees at least the minimum wage established by this
chapter for each hour worked within the City.
2. Employer classification for the current calendar year will be calculated based upon the
average number of employees during all weeks in the previous calendar year in which the
employer had at least one employee. For employers that did not have any employees during
the previous calendar year, classification will be based upon the average number of employees
during the most recent three months of the current year. In this determination, all employees
will be counted, regardless of their location, and including employees who worked in full-time
employment, part-time employment, joint employment, temporary employment, or through
the services of a temporary services or staffing agency or similar entity.
3. Employer classification for the current calendar year will be calculated based upon the gross
revenue for the previous year. For employers that did not have gross revenue during the
previous calendar year, annual gross revenue will be calculated from the gross revenue during
the most recent three months of the current year.
4. For the purposes of employer classification, separate entities will be considered a single
employer if they form an integrated enterprise or they are under joint control by one of those
entities or a separate entity. The factors to consider in making this assessment include, but are
not limited to:
a. Degree of interrelation between the operations of multiple entities;
b. Degree to which the entities share common management;
c. Centralized control of labor relations; and
d. Degree of common ownership or financial control over the entities.
Section 6. Part-Time Employees Shall Have Fair Access to Additional Hours.
1. Before hiring additional employees or subcontractors, including hiring through the use of
temporary services or staffing agencies, covered employers must offer additional hours of work
to existing employees who, in the employer’s good faith and reasonable judgment, have the
skills and experience to perform the work, and shall use a reasonable, transparent, and
nondiscriminatory process to distribute the hours of work among those existing employees.
2. This section shall not be construed to require any employer to offer an employee work hours
if the employer would be required to compensate the employee at time-and-a-half or other
premium rate under any law or collective bargaining agreement, nor to prohibit any employer
from offering such work hours.

Section 7. Retaliation Prohibited.
1. No employer or any other person shall interfere with, restrain, or deny the exercise of, or the
attempt to exercise, any right protected under this chapter.
2. No employer or any other person shall take any adverse action against any person because
the person has exercised in good faith the rights under this chapter. Such rights include but are
not limited to the right to make inquiries about the rights protected under this chapter; the
right to inform others about their rights under this chapter; the right to inform the person’s
employer, union, or similar organization, and/or the person’s legal counsel or any other person
about an alleged violation of this chapter; the right to bring a civil action for an alleged violation
of this chapter; the right to testify in a proceeding under or related to this chapter; the right to
refuse to participate in an activity that would result in a violation of city, state, or federal law;
and the right to oppose any policy, practice, or act that is unlawful under this chapter.
3. For the purposes of this section, an adverse action means denying a job or promotion,
demoting, terminating, failing to rehire after a seasonal interruption of work, threatening,
penalizing, retaliating, engaging in unfair immigration-related practices, filing a false report with
a government agency, changing an employee’s status to nonemployee, decreasing or declining
to provide additional work hours when they otherwise would have been offered, scheduling an
employee for hours outside of their availability, or otherwise discriminating against any person
for any reason prohibited by this chapter. “Adverse action” for an employee may involve any
aspect of employment, including pay, work hours, responsibilities, or other material change in
the terms and conditions of employment.
4. No employer or any other person shall communicate to a person exercising rights protected
under this chapter, directly or indirectly, the willingness to inform a government employee that
the person is not lawfully in the United States, or to report, or to make an implied or express
assertion of a willingness to report, suspected citizenship or immigration status of the person or
a family member of the person to a federal, state, or local agency because the person has
exercised a right under this chapter.
5. There shall be a rebuttable presumption of unlawful retaliation if an employer or any other
person takes an adverse action against a person within 90 days of the person’s exercise of any
right protected in this chapter. However, in the case of seasonal work that ended before the
close of the 90-day period, the presumption also applies if the employer fails to rehire a former
employee at the next opportunity for work in the same position. The employer may rebut the
presumption with clear and convincing evidence that the adverse action was taken for a
permissible purpose.
6. Standard of Proof. Proof of retaliation under this chapter shall be sufficient upon a showing
that an employer or any other person has taken an adverse action against a person and the
person’s exercise of rights protected in this chapter was a motivating factor in the adverse
action, unless the employer can prove that the action would have been taken in the absence of
such protected activity.

7. The protections afforded under this section shall apply to any person who mistakenly but in
good faith alleges violations of this chapter.
Section 8. Enforcement.
1. Any person or class of persons that suffers financial injury as a result of a violation of this
chapter or is the subject of prohibited retaliation under this chapter, or any other individual or
entity acting on their behalf, may bring a civil action in a court of competent jurisdiction against
the employer or other person violating this chapter and, upon prevailing, shall be awarded
reasonable attorney fees and costs and such legal or equitable relief as may be appropriate to
remedy the violation including, without limitation, the payment of any unpaid wages plus
interest due to the person and liquidated damages in an additional amount of up to twice the
unpaid wages; compensatory damages; and a penalty payable to any aggrieved party of up to
$5,000 if the aggrieved party was subject to prohibited retaliation. For the purposes of this
section, an aggrieved party means an employee or other person who suffers tangible or
intangible harm due to an employer or other person’s violation of this chapter. Interest shall
accrue from the date the unpaid wages were first due at the higher of twelve percent per
annum or the maximum rate permitted under RCW 19.52.020.
2. For purposes of determining membership within a class of persons entitled to bring an action
under this section, two or more employees are similarly situated if they:
a. Are or were employed by the same employer or employers, whether concurrently or
otherwise, at some point during the applicable statute of limitations period;
b. Allege one or more violations that raise similar questions as to liability; and
c. Seek similar forms of relief.
d. Employees shall not be considered dissimilar solely because their claims seek damages that
differ in amount, or their job titles or other means of classifying employees differ in ways that
are unrelated to their claims.
3. Each covered employer shall retain records as required by RCW 49.46.070, as well as such
information as the City may require to confirm compliance with this chapter. If an employer
fails to retain such records, there shall be a presumption, rebuttable by clear and convincing
evidence, that the employer violated this chapter for the periods and for each employee for
whom records were not retained.
4. Employers shall permit authorized City representatives access to work sites and relevant
records for the purpose of monitoring compliance with the chapter and investigating
complaints of noncompliance, including production for inspection and copying of employment
records. The City may designate representatives, including city contractors and representatives
of unions or worker advocacy organizations, to access the worksite and relevant records.

including reinstatement, restitution, payment of back wages, or other forms of relief.
7. The City may, in the exercise of its authority and performance of its functions and services,
agree by contract or otherwise to participate jointly or in cooperation with Washington State,
King County, or any city, town, or other incorporated place, or subdivision thereof, or engage
outside counsel, to enforce this chapter.
8. The remedies and penalties provided under this chapter are cumulative and are not intended
to be exclusive of any other available remedies or penalties, including existing remedies for
enforcement of Renton Municipal Code chapters.
9. The statute of limitations for any enforcement action shall be five (5) years.
Section 9. A new section is added to Renton Municipal Code (RMC) Section 5-5-4 as follows:

violation of this ordinance.
2. The Finance Director must deny, suspend, or revoke any license under this chapter for
repeated intentional violations of this ordinance.

2 Option to waive charges. The City may waive charges associated with fulfilling a request. The decision will be based on various factors, including the volume and format of the responsive documents. The
decision to assess fees for fulfilling a public records request shall be made on a consistent and equitable basis, dependent primarily upon the amount of staff time required for copying, scanning, shipping,
uploading, and/or transmitting the records associated with fulfilling a request.
3 Certified copies. If the requestor is seeking a certified copy of a City record, an additional charge of $1.00 per each complete document may be applied to cover the additional expense and time required for

Effect of Schedule. This schedule establishes default base penalties for violations of the Renton Municipal Code that are issued as infractions under the authority of RCW 7.80 RCW, but these
penalties do not include any state‐imposed statutory assessments. Except as otherwise prohibited by law or court rule, a court with jurisdiction over the infraction may impose on a defendant a lesser
penalty in an individual case. Provided that, whenever the base penalty plus mandatory statutory assessments results in a total payment that is not an even dollar amount, the base penalty is deemed
to be amended to a higher amount which produces the next greatest even dollar total
Penalties Established by Court Rule or Specific Penalty Established by Law. This schedule does not apply to penalties established by state or local court rule or to a penalty that is established in law
with a specific amount (i.e. ordinance or statute setting a penalty equal to a specified amount rather than a penalty up to a maximum amount). To the extent a penalty scheduled herein conflicts with
a state or local court rule or a penalty that is established in law, this schedule shall be deemed preempted by the court rule or penalty established in law
Penalties:
The following violations shall carry the following listed default base penalty, not including statutory assessments:

District. However, this Plan is not intended to be the sole Plan for all of the District's needs. The District
may prepare interim and periodic Long Range Capital Facilities Plans consistent with board policies,
taking into account a longer or a shorter time period, other factors and trends in the use of facilities, and
other needs of the District as may be required. Any such plan or plans will be consistent with this Six-
Year Capital Facilities Plan.
In June 1992, the District first submitted a request to King County to impose and to collect school impact
fees on new developments in unincorporated King County. On November 16, 1992, the King County
Council first adopted the District's Plan and a fee implementing ordinance. This Plan is the annual
update of the Six-Year Plan.
King County and the cities of Issaquah, Renton, Bellevue, Newcastle and Sammamish collect impact
fees on behalf of the District. Most of these jurisdictions provide exemptions from impact fees for senior
housing and certain low-income housing.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Growth Management Act, this Plan will be updated on an annual
basis, and any charges in the fee schedule(s) adjusted accordingly.

STANDARD OF SERVICE
School facility and student capacity needs are dictated by the types and amounts of space required to
accommodate the District’s adopted educational program. The educational program standards which
typically drive facility space needs include grade configuration, optimal facility size, class size,
educational program offerings, as well as classroom utilization and scheduling requirements and use of
re-locatable classroom facilities (portables).
Different class sizes are used depending on the grade level or programs offered such as special
education or the gifted program. With the passage of Initiative 728 in November 2000, the Issaquah
School Board established new class size standards for elementary grades K-5. The Board and District
Administration will continue to keep class sizes near the levels provided by I -728; this will be done via
local levy funds. There is also legislation that requires the State to fund Full-Day Kindergarten by 2018.
The District provided Full-Day Kindergarten beginning in the 2016-2017 school year. A class size
average of 20 for grades K-5 is now being used to calculate building capacities. A class size of 26 is
used for grades 6-8 and 28 for grades 9-12. Special Education class size is based on 12 students per
class. For the purpose of this analysis, rooms designated for special use, consistent with the provisions
of King County Council Code Title 21A, are not considered classrooms.
Invariably, some classrooms will have student loads greater in number than this average level of service
and some will be smaller. Program demands, state and federal requirements, collective bargaining
agreements, and available funding may also affect this level of service in the years to come. Due to
these variables, a utilization factor of 95% is used to adjust design capacities to what a building may
actually accommodate.
Portables used as classrooms are used to accommodate enrollment increases for interim purposes
until permanent classrooms are available. When permanent facilities become available, the portable(s)
is either moved to another school as an interim classroom or removed.
The King County decision to no longer allow schools to be built outside the Urban Growth Boundary
Line (UGBL) means District owned property planned for a new elementary school and middle school
could not be used for its long planned purpose. The District sold this planned site to a third party. The
District has acquired one high school site, two elementary school sites and one middle school site inside
the UGBL. The State does not provide funding for property purchases.
The District’s voters approved the 2016 Bond to provide funding or a new high school, new middle
school, two new elementary schools, a rebuild/expansion of an existing middle school and additions to
six existing elementary schools. All of those projects are now complete with the exception of the new
high school and one new elementary school, which are both discussed further in this Capital Facilities
Plan and will require additional funding sources. The District’s voters recently passed a capital levy that
will add, in part, funding for the high school. Additional funding for the elementary school is anticipated
to be pursued during the six-year planning period.
AGENDA ITEM #6. e)

TRIGGER OF CONSTRUCTION
The Issaquah School District Capital Facilities Plan proposes construction of a new high school and a
new elementary school to meet capacity at the elementary and high school related to recent and
ongoing enrollment growth needs. The District recently completed construction of a new elementary
school, Cedar Trails Elementary School, a new middle school, Cougar Mountain Middle School, as well
as additions at several elementary schools to help address recent growth needs. The need for new
schools and school additions is triggered by comparing our enrollment forecasts with our permanent
capacity figures. These forecasts are by grade level and, to the extent possible, by geography. The
analysis provides a list of new construction needed by school year.
The decision on when to construct a new facility involves factors other than verified need. Funding is
the most serious consideration. Factors including the potential tax rate for our citizens, the availability
of state funds and impact fees, the ability to acquire land, and the ability to pass bond issues determine
when any new facility can be constructed. New school facilities are a response, in part, to new housing
which the county or cities have approved for construction.
The District's Six-Year Finance Plan is shown in Appendix E.
DEVELOPMENT TRACKING AND STUDENT GENERATION RATES
In order to increase the accuracy and validity of enrollment projections, a major emphasis has been
placed on the collection and tracking data of known new housing developments. This data provides
two useful pieces of planning information. First, it is used to determine the actual number of students
that are generated from a single family or multi-family residence. It also provides important information
on the impact new housing developments will have on existing facilities and/or the need for additional
facilities.
Developments that have been completed or are still selling houses are used to forecast the number of
students who will attend our schools from future developments. The District used a third-party
consultant to review recent development data and provide updated student generation rates for
elementary school, middle school and high school student per new single-family residence and new
multi-family housing. Updated rates are shown in Table 2.
AGENDA ITEM #6. e)
Page 6 of 24
NEED FOR IMPACT FEES AND GROWTH-RELATED CAPACITY NEEDS
The District relies on school impact fee revenue to help fund growth-related capacity needs. However,
by law, impact fees can only be used to fund a portion of a capacity project. State funding and impact
fees are also not reliable sources of revenue. As a result, the District must also rely on local funding to
fund school construction. The District has two growth-related capacity projects included in this Capital
Facilities Plan: a new high school and a new elementary school. The voters funded the projects as a
part of the April 2016 bond and (for the high school) the April 2022 capital levy. The District utilized
funds from the 2016 Bond to purchase property for the two schools and to engage in design and
permitting work. Additional funding, aside from impact fee revenue and State School Construction
Assistance Program dollars, is needed to construct the two schools.
As demonstrated in Appendix A the District currently has a permanent capacity (at 95%) to serve
8,763 students at the elementary level. This leaves the District’s elementary enrollment under
permanent capacity by 454 students (current enrollment is identified on page 9).
As demonstrated in Appendix B the District currently has a permanent capacity (at 95%) to serve
4,946 students at the middle school level. This leaves the District’s middle school enrollment under
permanent capacity by 321 students (current enrollment is identified on page 9).
As demonstrated in Appendix C the District currently has a permanent capacity (at 95%) to serve
4,921 students at the high school level. This leaves the District’s high school enrollment over
permanent capacity by 694 students (current enrollment is identified on page 9).
Based on the District’s student generation rates (Table 2), the District expects that 0.589 students will
be generated from each new single family home and 0.147 students will be generated from each new
multi-family dwelling unit.
Applying the enrollment projections contained on page 9 to the District’s existing permanent capacity
(Appendices A, B, and C) and if no capacity improvements are made by the year 2028-29, and
permanent capacity is adjusted to 95%, the District elementary population will be over its permanent
capacity by 329 students, under permanent capacity at the middle school level by 284 students, and
over permanent capacity by 776 students at the high school level. Importantly, the above figures
incorporate recently completed growth-projects at the elementary and middle school levels. The
District’s enrollment projections are developed using two methods: first, the cohort survival – historical
enrollment method is used to forecast enrollment growth based upon the progression of existing
students in the District; then, the enrollment projections are modified to include students anticipated
from new developments in the District.

The District recently opened the new Cougar Mountain Middle School, with permanent capacity of 787,
and the new Cedar Trails Elementary School, with permanent capacity of 471 students. Both schools
were funded by the April 2016 bond and provide capacity to serve new growth.
Based upon the District’s capacity data and enrollment projections, as well as the student generation
data, the District has determined that the planned new high school and new elementary school are
needed, in part, to provide capacity improvements necessary to serve students generated by recent
and ongoing new residential development.
The school impact fee formula ensures that new development only pays for the cost of the facilities
necessitated by new development. The fee calculations examine the costs of housing the students
generated by each new single family dwelling unit or each new multi-family dwelling unit and then
reduces that amount by credits for the anticipated state match and future tax payments. The resulting
impact fee is then discounted as required by local ordinances. Thus, by applying the student generation
factor to the school project costs, the fee formula only calculates the costs of providing capacity to serve
each new dwelling unit. The formula does not require new development to contribute the costs of
providing capacity to address existing needs.
The King County Council and the City Councils of the cities of Bellevue, Issaquah, Newcastle, Renton
and Sammamish have created a framework for collecting school impact fees and the District can
demonstrate that new developments will have an impact on the District. The impact fees will be used
in a manner consistent with RCW 82.02.050-110 and the adopted local ordinances. Engrossed Senate
Bill 5923, enacted in the 2015 Legislative Session, requires that developers be provided an option to
defer payment of impact fees to final inspection, certificate of occupancy, or closing, with no fees
deferred longer than 18 months from building permit issuance. The District adopts the positions
that: (1) no school impact fee should be collected later than the earlier of final inspection or 18 months
from the time of building permit issuance; and (2) no developer applicant should be permitted to defer
payment of school impact fees for more than 20 dwelling units in a single year. The District’s recent
and ongoing student growth, coupled with the need for the timely funding and construction of new
facilities to serve this growth, requires strict adherence to this position.
AGENDA ITEM #6. e)
Page 8 of 24
ENROLLMENT METHODOLOGY
Two basic techniques are used, with the results compared, to establish the most likely range of anticipated
student enrollment:
1. The student 3-2-1 cohort survival method. Examine Issaquah School District enrollments for the last
5 years and determine the average cohort survival for the consecutive five-year period. Because
cohort survival does not consider students generated from new development it is a conservati ve
projection of actual enrollment. For the same reason, these projections are also slow to react to
actual growth. The cohort method is also hampered by the fact that it does account for anomalies
affecting enrollment (for example, the Covid-19 pandemic, temporary remote learning and the
variations in the transition back to in-person learning).
2. Based on information from King County, realtors, developers, etc., the District seeks to establish the
number of new dwelling units that will be sold each year and converts those units to new students
based on the following:
a) The number of actual new students as a percentage of actual new dwellings for the past several
years. (The student generation factors are shown in Table 2)
b) Determine the actual distribution of new students by grade level for the past several years, i.e.,
5% to kindergarten, 10% to first grade, 2% to 11th grade, etc.
c) Based on an examination of the history shown by (a) and (b) above, establish the most likely
factor to apply to the projected new dwellings.
After determining the expected new students, the current actual student enrollments are moved forward from
year to year with the arrived at additions.
One of the challenges associated with all projection techniques is that, where new development is in the
pipeline, they tend to always show growth because the number of houses and the general population always
increases. Enrollments, however, can and do decrease even as the population increases. The reason is as
the population matures, the number of kindergartners will go down as the number of 10th graders is still
increasing. To adjust for this factor, the number of school age children per dwelling is examined. When this
number exceeds expectations, it is probably because the District is still assuming kindergarten growth, while
the main growth is actually moving into middle school. When this happens, a reduction factor is added to
kindergarten to force it to decrease even though the general population continues to grow. A precise
statistical formula has not been developed to make this adjustment.
After all of the projections have been made and examined, the most likely range is selected. An examination
of past projections compared with actual enrollment indicates the cohorts tend to be more accurate over a
ten-year time span while dwelling units tend to be more accurate over a shorter period. The probable reason
is that over a ten-year period, the projections tend to average out even though there are major shifts both up
and down within the period.
The Covid-19 pandemic has complicated projections in recent years. The District has experienced a return
to in-person learning in the last two years but continues to monitor student enrollment closely. As with last
year’s projections, this year’s projections are more conservative than in previous years to allow the District
to gather additional data and experience. Like other districts, the District is also experiencing fewer students
at the high school level enrolling in Running Start options and instead choosing to be fully enrolled in the
District 9-12 program.
Enrollment projections for the years 2023-2024 through 2036-2037 are shown in Table 1 (page 9). These
projections are conservative in the near-term (within a 5 year period). The District assumes that a post-
pandemic increase in enrollment will occur, but does not believe our historical peak enrollment will be
reached within the next 7 years. The District however, could have a large uptick in enrollment depending
upon land use decisions, housing and labor market, etc. The District will monitor these matters and include
updated information in future updates to the Capital Facilities Plan.

INVENTORY AND EVALUATION OF CURRENT FACILITIES
Currently, using the 95% utilization factor, the District has the capacity to house 18,630 students in
permanent facilities and 4,290 students in portables. While portables are critical for interim capacity
needs, they are not desirable nor long-term capacity solutions. The District looks to its permanent
capacity, as adjusted for utilization, for purposes of determining growth-related needs and addressing
school capacity. The projected student enrollment for the 2023-2024 school year is expected to be
18,549 which leaves a permanent capacity overage of 80. Enrollment projections indicate permanent
capacity needs at the elementary and high school levels over the six-year planning period.
Calculations of elementary, middle school and high school capacities are shown in Appendices A, B
and C. Totals are shown in Appendix D.

THE ISSAQUAH SCHOOL DISTRICT'S
SIX-YEAR CONSTRUCTION PLAN
The District's Six-Year Finance Plan is shown in Appendix E. Shown in Table 3 is the District's projected
capacity to house students, which reflects the additional facilities as noted. Voters passed a $533
million bond in April 2016 to fund the purchase of land for and construction of a new high school, a new
middle school, two new elementary schools, the rebuild/expansion of an existing middle school and
additions to six existing elementary schools. The voters also funded an April 2022 capital levy to provide
additional funding for the high school project as well as other projects. The District does anticipate
receiving State matching funds for High School #4 project that would reduce future bond sale amounts
or be applied to new K-12 construction projects included in this Plan. The District will need additional
funding to construct the new high school and new elementary school. The District anticipates seeking
additional funding within six years. Secured funding will be identified in future updates to this CFP.
The District also anticipates that it will receive $500,000 in impact fees and mitigation payments that
will be applied to capital projects.
The District projects 18,549 FTE students for the 2023-2024 school year and 19,451 FTE students in
the 2028-2029 school year. Growth will be accommodated by the planned facilities. Per the formula in
the adopted school impact fee ordinance, half of the unfunded growth-related need is assigned to impact
fees and half is the local share.

AGENDA ITEM #6. e)
I - Executive Summary
This Six-Year Capital Facilities Plan has been prepared by the Kent School District as the
organization's capital facilities planning document, in compliance with the requirements of
Washington's Growth Management Act, King County Code K.C.C. 21A.43 and Cities of Kent,
Covington, Renton, Auburn, Black Diamond, Maple Valley, and SeaTac. This annual Plan
update was prepared using data available in the spring of 2023 for the 2023-2024 school
year. This annual update of the Plan reflects no new major capital projects.
This Plan is consistent with prior long-term capital facilities plans adopted by the Kent
School District. This Plan is not intended to be the sole planning document for all the
district's needs. The district may prepare interim and periodic Long-Range Capital Facilities
Plans consistent with Board Policies, considering a longer or shorter period, other factors
and trends in the use of facilities, and other needs of the district as may be required.
Prior Capital Facilities Plans of the Kent School District have been adopted by
Metropolitan King County Council and Cities of Kent, Covington, Auburn, and Renton and
included in the Capital Facilities Plan element of the Comprehensive Plans of each
jurisdiction. This Plan has also been submitted to the cities of Black Diamond, Maple
Valley, and SeaTac for their information and inclusion in their Comprehensive Plans.
In order for impact fees to be collected in the unincorporated areas of Kent School
District, the Metropolitan King County Council must adopt this Plan and a fee- implementing
ordinance for the District. For impact fees to be collected in the incorporated portions of the
District, the cities of Kent, Covington, Renton and Auburn must also adopt this Plan and
their own school impact fee ordinances.
This Capital Facilities Plan establishes a standard of service in order to ascertain current
and future capacity. While the State Superintendent of Public Instruction establishes
square footage guidelines for capacity, those guidelines do not account for local program
needs in the District. The Growth Management Act, King County and City codes and
ordinances authorize the District to make adjustments to the standard of service based
on specific needs for students of the District.
This Plan includes the standard of service as established by Kent School District.
Functional capacity is based on an average capacity and updated to reflect changes to
special programs served in each building. Portables in the interim capacity calculation use
the same standard of service as the permanent facilities.
1
AGENDA ITEM #6. e)
The capacity of each school in the District is calculated based on the District’s standard of
service and the existing inventory of permanent facilities. The District's program capacity
of permanent facilities reflects program changes and the state’s mandated reduction of class
size to meet the standard of service for Kent School District. Portables provide additional
interim capacity.
Kent School District is the fifth largest (FTE basis) district in the state. Enrollment is
electronically reported monthly to the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction
(“OSPI”) on Form P-223. Although funding apportionment is based on Annual Average Full Time
Equivalent (AAFTE), enrollment on October 1 is a widely recognized “snapshot in time” that is
used to report the District’s enrollment for the year as reported to OSPI.
The District's standard of service, enrollment history and projections, and use of interim
facilities are reviewed in detail in various sections of this Plan. The District plans to continue
to satisfy concurrency requirements through the interim use of portables.
This Plan currently represents projects in process funded primarily by the Kent School District’s
2016 Bond, as well as the 2018 Capital Levy. Additional information about these projects can
be found on the District’s capital projects homepage (link). Additionally, project updates sent
to our community of stakeholders can be accessed on the KSD website (link).
Based on revised student generation rates, our capacity and enrollment projections, the
District will stay current with non-collection of student impact fee rate for the coming year.
For a short overview, see Section IX (Summary of Changes to the June 2022 Capital Facilities
Plan).

AGENDA ITEM #6. e)
II - Six - Year Enrollment Projection
For capital facilities planning, enrollment growth projections are based on cohort survival and
student yield from documented residential construction projected over the next six years (See
Table 2). For this Plan, the district relied substantially on the results from Dr. Les Kendrick’s
study of long-range enrollment forecasts for the Kent School District in the Winter of 2022.
King County live births and the District's relational percentage average were used to determine
the number of kindergartners entering the system (See Table 2). 7.49% of 24,337 King County
live births in 2018 is projected for 1,824 students expected in Kindergarten for October 1,
2023. This is a decrease of 937 live births in King County over the previous year.
Early Childhood Education students (also identified as “ECE”), “Early Childhood Special
Education (“ECSE”) students are forecast and reported to OSPI separately on Form P-223H for
Special Education Enrollment. Capacity is reserved to serve students in the ECE programs at
elementary schools.
In addition to live birth data, enrollment projections for October 1, 2023 going forward rely
upon the results of the enrollment study by Dr. Kendrick, utilizing the “medium growth”
methodology.
Within practical limits, the District has kept abreast of proposed developments. The District
will continue to track new development activity to determine impact to schools. Information
on new residential developments and the completion of these proposed developments in all
jurisdictions will be considered in the District's future analysis of growth projections.
The Kent School District serves eight permitting jurisdictions: unincorporated King County, the
cities of Kent, Covington, Renton, and Auburn and smaller portions of the cities of SeaTac,
Black Diamond, and Maple Valley.

AGENDA ITEM #6. e)
STUDENT GENERATION FACTOR
"Student Factor" is defined by King County code as "the number derived by a school district to
describe how many students of each grade span are expected to be generated by a dwelling
unit" based on district records of average actual student generated rates for developments
completed within the last ten years.
Following these guidelines, the student generation rate for Kent School District is as follows:
Single Family Elementary .248
Middle School .085
Senior High .107
Total .440
Multi-Family Elementary .130
Middle School .049
Senior High .056
Total .235
The student generation factor is based on 1,728 new SFD (Single Family Detached) units built
between 2017 and 2021. The student generation factor is based on 1,526 new MF (Multi-
Family) units built during the same period. The multi-family units consisted of 1,222
apartment units and 340 townhome units.
The District sees an average of 44 students for every 100 single family units that are built and
an average of 24 students for every 100 multi-family units that are built. The rate for
apartment units is higher than for townhome units. The District sees an average of 29 students
for every 100 apartment units.
The student generation rate also varies among apartment developments, based on the
number of bedrooms in the unit. Units with three plus bedrooms have much higher student
generation rates than units that have two or fewer bedrooms. Noting these differences can
help the District when planning for future growth from housing.
In preparing the 2022-2023 to 2028-2029 Capital Facilities Plan the District contracted with
Educational Data Solutions, LLC led by Dr. Les Kendricks, a noted expert in demographic
studies for school districts, to analyze and prepare the student generation factor.
Within the district’s borders there are several income-based and multi-family housing projects
coming on-line in 2022/2023. Once developed with occupancy occurring the District does
recognize that the student generation for multi-family housing may impact future Capital
Facilities Plan updates. One multi-family project worth noting, Covington Commons which
appears to have many units with three-plus bedrooms and is likely to show better student
growth than the medium project once completed.

AGENDA ITEM #6. e)
III - Current Kent School District “Standard of Service"
In order to determine the capacity of facilities in a school district, King County
Code 21A.06.1225 references a "standard of service" that each school district
must establish in order to ascertain its overall capacity. The standard of service
identifies the program year, the class size, the number of classrooms, students
and programs of special need, and other factors determined by the
District which would best serve the student population.
This Plan includes the standard of service as established by Kent School District.
The District has identified schools with significant special needs programs as
“impact” schools and the standard of service targets a lower-class size at those
facilities. Portables included in the capacity calculation use the same standard
of service as the permanent facilities.
The standard of service defined herein will continue to evolve in the future.
Kent School District is continuing a long-term strategic planning process
combined with review of changes to capacity and standard of service. This
process will affect various aspects of the District's standard of service and future
changes will be reflected in future capital facilities plans.
Current Standards of Service for Elementary Students
•Class size ratio for grades K - 3 is planned for an average of 23 students
per class, not to exceed 26.
•Class size ratio for grades 4 - 6 is planned for an average of 27 students
per class, not to exceed 29.
Some special programs require specialized classroom space and the program
capacity of some of the buildings housing these programs is reduced. Some
students, for example, leave their regular classroom for a short period of time
to receive instruction in special programs and space must be allocated to serve
these programs.
Students may also be provided with music instruction and physical education
in a separate classroom or facility.
Some identified students will also be provided educational opportunities in
classrooms for special programs such as those designated as follows:
Multilingual Learner Education (MLE)
Education for Disadvantaged Students (Title I) – Federal Program Learning
Assisted Programs (LAP) – State Program
7
AGENDA ITEM #6. e)
Highly Capable Students – State Program
Reading, math or science Labs
Dual Language Programs in four elementary schools and one middle school
Inclusive Education Service for Elementary and Secondary students with
disabilities may be provided in a separate or self-contained classroom
sometimes with a capacity of 10-15 students, depending on the program.
Current District Standards of Service for Secondary Students
The standards of service outlined below reflect only those programs and
educational opportunities provided to secondary students which directly affect
the capacity of the school buildings per the negotiated collective bargaining
agreement with KEA.
•The average class size ratio for grades 7–8 is 30 students per class and
143 students per day, with a maximum daily class load/enrollment of 150
based on five class periods per day.
•The average class size ratio for grades 9-12 is 32 students per class and
153 students per day, with a maximum daily class load/enrollment of 160
based on five class periods per day.
Like Inclusive Education Programs listed above, many other secondary programs
require specialized classroom space which can reduce the functional capacity of
the permanent school buildings, such as technology labs, performing arts
activities, a variety of career and technical education programs, and other
specialized programs.
Space or Classroom Utilization
As a result of scheduling conflicts for student programs, the need for specialized
rooms for certain programs, and the need for teachers to have a workspace during
their planning periods, it is not possible to achieve 100% utilization of regular
teaching stations at secondary schools. Based on the analysis of actual utilization of
classrooms, the Kent School District has determined that the standard utilization
rate is 95% for secondary schools. Functional capacity at elementary schools reflects
100% utilization at the elementary level.
8
AGENDA ITEM #6. e)
IV - Inventory and Capacity of Existing Schools
Currently, the District has permanent functional capacity to house 33,847 students and
interim (portable) capacity to house 4,161. This capacity is based on the District's Standard of
Service as set forth in Section III. Included in this Plan is an inventory of the District's schools
by type, address and current capacity (See Table 3). The ratio between permanent capacity
and portable capacity is 87.8% - 12.2%.
The functional capacity is periodically updated for changes in the programs, additional
classrooms, and new schools. Functional capacity has been updated in this Plan to reflect
program changes implemented in the Fall of 2022.
Calculation of Elementary, Middle School and Senior High School capacities are set forth in
Appendices A, B, and C. Maps of existing schools are included.
For clarification, the following is a brief description of some of the non-traditional programs
for students in Kent School District:
iGrad - Kent School District has developed the Individualized Graduation and Degree Program
or “iGrad”. iGrad is an Open Door (Drop-out Reengagement) School that offers a second plus
chance to students aged 16-21 who have dropped out of high school or are at risk of not
earning a high school diploma by age 21. iGrad is not included in this Capital Facilities Plan,
because it is served as a leased space at the Kent Hill Plaza Shopping Center. Over the past
three years, enrollment in the iGrad program has averaged over 250 students.
Kent Virtual Academy - The Kent Virtual Academy is open to grades 6-12 and is currently
serving 171 students. The virtual school offers a flexible learning experience designed to
engage students when and where they work best. Each school day will include a combination
of live (synchronous) virtual instruction and on-demand (asynchronous) learning opportunities
outside of a traditional bell schedule. Students can attend live virtual lessons with their
teachers and classmates, participate in live virtual class or small group discussions, check-in or
meet with teachers, watch recorded video lessons, work independently on projects and
lessons, participate in learning experiences outside the school setting for credit or to meet
competencies. Virtual school students may also attend their boundary school for select classes
and services.

AGENDA ITEM #6. e)
V - Six-Year Planning and Construction Plan
In November 2016, the voters of the Kent School District approved a bond measure for
$252 million. This bonding authority provided for the replacement of Covington Elementary
school, which opened in August of 2018, the new River Ridge Elementary school, and our new
Kent Laboratory Academy, which both opened in August 2021.
As a critical component of capital facilities planning, county and city planners and decision -
makers are encouraged to consider safe walking conditions for all students when reviewing
applications and design plans for new roads and developments. This should include sidewalks
for pedestrian safety to and from school and bus stops as well as bus pull -outs and turn-
arounds.
Included in this Plan is an inventory of potential projects and sites identified by the District which
are potentially acceptable site alternatives in the future (See Table 4 & Sitemap).
Voter approved bond issues have included funding for the purchase of sites for some of these
and future schools, and the sites acquired to date are included in this Plan. Some funding is
secured for the purchase of additional sites, but some may be funded with impact fees as
needed. Not all undeveloped properties meet current school construction requirements, and
some property may be traded or sold to meet future facility needs.
The Board will continue an annual review of standards of service and those dec isions will be
reflected in each update of the Capital Facilities Plan.
Our District went out for a Bond Measure in April of 2023 and did not receive enough votes
for approval. We are currently re-evaluating district needs and looking at next steps that align
with the Strategic Plan which continues to make a priority to revitalize, rejuvenate and rebuild
our aging schools as well as begin a process to remove interim classroom portables and find
room or create permanent structures to reduce and eventually eliminate the more than 166
portable classrooms in our district. We will continue to determine capacity versus enrollment
as well as programs to ensure this goal to reduce and or eliminate all portables in our district
is obtained in the next several years.
As a part of the planning process, the District has been tracking a few major development
projects which have affected enrollment and will continue to increase students' forecasts. On
Meeker Street in Kent we have seen several major apartment complexes, ETHOS and Midtown
64 Apartments. These continue to have an impact on enrollment as they fill up their newly
built facilities. Alexian Gateway Project is located on the corner of Military Road and Veterans
Drive in Kent and will begin occupying its 283 planned units in 2023-2024.
In Covington, we are tracking a multi-family house development which has been approved and
construction has begun. The 1700-unit Lakepointe Urban Community will fall within our
14
AGENDA ITEM #6. e)
enrollment boundary and proposed completion of Phase 4 is shown to be 2027 .
Construction in the Kent School District boundaries have been steadily rising over the last four
years and planned communities are now being recognized through the planning teams in
multiple city and county jurisdictions we serve.

VI - Portable Classrooms
The Plan references use of portables as interim capacity for facilities.
Currently, the District utilizes portables to house students more than functional capacity and for
program purposes at some school locations (Please see Appendices A, B, C).
Based on enrollment projections, implementation of full day kindergarten programs, lower
state mandated class sizes, functional capacity, and no need for additional interim capacity,
the District anticipates no need to purchase or lease additional portables during the next six -
year period to ensure capacity requirement (Noted in section V. Six Yr. Planning Construction).
During the time period covered by this Plan, the District does not anticipate that all of the
District’s portables will be replaced by permanent facilities. During the useful life of some of
the portables, the school-age population may decline in some communities and increase in
others, and these portables provide the flexibility to accommodate the immediate needs of
the community.
Portables may be used as interim facilities:
1. To prevent overbuilding or overcrowding of permanent school facilities.
2. To cover the gap between the times of demand for increased capacity and
completion of permanent school facilities to meet that demand.
3. To meet unique program requirements.
Portables currently in the District’s inventory are continually evaluated resulting in some being
improved and some replaced or when possible, be removed due to life expectancy. The
Districts goal is to reduce and or eliminate all portables so we may provide an equitable
learning environment for all.
The Plan projects that the District will use portables to accommodate interim housing needs
for the next six years and beyond. The use of portables, their impacts on permanent facilities,
life cycle and operational costs, and the interrelationship between portables, emerging
technologies, and educational restructuring will continue to be examined.

AGENDA ITEM #6. e)
VII - Projected Six-Year Classroom Capacity
As stated in Section IV, the functional capacity study is periodically updated for changes in
special programs and reflects class size requirements, class size fluctuations etc. As shown in
the Inventory and Capacity chart in Table 3, the functional capacity is also reflected in the
capacity and enrollment comparison charts (See Tables 5 & 5 a-b-c).
Enrollment is electronically reported to OSPI on Form P-223 on a monthly basis and funding
apportionment is based on Annual Average FTE (AAFTE). The first school day of October is
widely recognized as the enrollment “snapshot in time” to report enrollment for the year.
Kent School District continues to be the fifth largest district (both FTE and headcount basis)
in the state of Washington. The P-223 Headcount for October 2022 was 24,482 with
kindergarten students counted at 1.0 and excluding ECSE and college-only Running Start
students.
In October 2022, there were an additional 877 students in 11th and 12th grade participating
in the Running Start program at different colleges and receiving credits toward both high
school and college graduation. Of these students, 486 attended classes only at the college
(“college-only”) and are excluded from FTE and headcount for capacity and enrollment
comparisons. Kent School District has one of the highest Running Start program
participation rates in the state.
Based on the enrollment forecasts, permanent facility inventory and capacity,
current standard of service, portable capacity, and future additional classroom space, the
District plans to continue to satisfy required capacity through the interim use of portables
(See Table 5 and Tables 5 a-b-c).
While the district currently shows available capacity to address projected need on a purely
statistical basis, there are variety of extenuating factors that need to be considered. The Kent
School District currently makes significant use of portables, which we do not consider as part
of our permanent standard of service. We have included portable space in our interim
capacity figures, and we do not count that as a permanent space solution. Kent is unusual in
that it incorporates neighborhoods intersecting with at least 6 municipalities, including Kent ,
Auburn, Black Diamond, Maple Valley, Renton, and SeaTac. The district covers 73 square miles
and includes over 40 schools. Within this large geographic area, we expect to have pockets of
localized capacity need that are not necessarily reflected in the aggregate figures. As one
example, the Lakepointe Urban Village development in Covington may require new classroom
capacity even as space may exist in schools on the far other end of the district’s boundaries.

AGENDA ITEM #6. e)
VIII - Finance Plan
The finance plan shown on Table 6 demonstrates how the Kent School District plans to finance
improvements for the years 2022-2023 through 2028-2029. The financing components include
secured and unsecured funding and impact fees. The plan is based on future bond issues, state
school construction assistance, collection of impact fees under the State Growth Management
Act and voluntary mitigation fees paid pursuant to State Environmental Policy Act.
In November 2016, the District held a special election to approve the authorization of
$252,000,000 in bonding authority. The projects described below are part of this
authorization. The first series of bonds ($80 million) were issued in February 2017, which
funded the Covington Elementary Replacement School, as well as other infrastructure
projects. Impact fees were used at both River Ridge Elementary School and Kent Laboratory
Academy projects due to escalation in construction pricing across the Pacific Northwest.
According to RCW 82.02.090, the definition of an impact fee is ". . . a payment of money
imposed upon development as a condition of development approval to pay for public facilities
needed to serve new growth and development, and that is reasonably related to the new
development that creates additional demand and need for public facilities, that is a
proportionate share of the cost of the public facilities, and that is used for facilities that
reasonably benefit the new development. `Impact fee' does not include a reasonab le permit
or application fee." Mitigation or impact fees can be calculated on the basis of "unhoused
student need" or "the maintenance of a district's level of service" as related to new residential
development.
A mitigation/impact fee may be imposed based upon a determination of insufficient existing
permanent and/or interim portable school space or to pay for permanent and/or newly
acquired interim portable school space previously constructed as a result of growth in the
district. A district's School Board must first approve the application of the mitigation or impact
fees and, in turn, approval must then be granted by the other general government jurisdictions
having responsibility within the district, counties, cities and towns. (Kent, Covington, Renton,
Auburn, Black Diamond, Maple Valley, SeaTac, and Unincorporated King County)
Though the current enrollment projections increase for both elementary and secondary
schools are relatively flat, the ongoing need to provide permanent instructional facilities to
house students is a driving need as the shifts in our family populations continue, due to
ongoing development. Previously collected Impact fees may be used to support and address
the challenges related to the number of interim instructional facilities currently in use, the
replacement of some of these aged facilities, the maintenance of the district's level of services,
and the potential expansions to existing facilities in future years.
The Kent School District 2022-2023 CFP update includes continued execution of the 2016 Capital
Bond Projects, the 2018 Levy Projects, and the data collection and review of our Facility Assessment
Reports. The District Facilities and Capital Planning Teams have come together and joined the Capital

AGENDA ITEM #6. e)
Bond Planning Task Force (CBPTF) which included District personnel, design professionals, teaching
staff, student voices, as well as community members who collaborated and discussed district needs.
Our initial plan revealed priorities including school replacement due to age, and the need for added
permanent facilities to (1) reduce and eliminate our need for portables and (2) accommodate future
growth as housing in the Kent region continues to expa nd. We started with a list of 2 billion in needs
and through itemizing and prioritizing, we brought the list of essential projects to 495 million. This
list was brought before the District’s Board of Directors for comments, discussion, and approval. A
Capital Bond Measure followed and went out to vote in April 2023 and did not pass with voter
approval. We are now re-evaluating needs and figuring out next steps. Future updates to this Capital
Facilities Plan will include details of any adopted planning . With the opening of Canyon Ridge Middle
School, our sixth grade moving from elementary to middle school, and our boundary change, we are
advancing opportunities to even out capacity at each site to accommodate our programs and
student-based needs.
For the Six-Year Finance Plan, costs of future schools are based on estimates from Kent School
District Capital Planning Team. Please see pages 13-14 for a summary of the cost basis.
Cost Basis Summary
For impact fee calculations, construction estimated costs are based on the last elementary
school built in Kent, adjusted for inflation, and projected cost future elementary school, as
well as average pricing of nearby school districts recently built new middle and new high
school projects.
Project
Projected Cost
New Elementary School
$68,000,000
New Middle School
$155,000,000
New High School
$220,000,000
Site Acquisition Cost
The site acquisition cost is based on an average cost of sites purchased or built on within the
last ten years. Please see Table 7 for a list of site acquisition costs and averages.
District Adjustment
The impact fee calculations on Appendix B & C result in a zero-dollar impact fee total for this
year but may be adjusted if needed per RCW 36.70A.130(2)(b) provision.

IX - Summary of Changes to June 2022 Capital Facilities Plan
The Capital Facilities Plan (the "Plan") is updated annually based on previous Plans in effect
since 1993. The primary changes from the June 2022 Plan are summarized here.
Capacity changes continue to reflect fluctuations in class size ratio and program changes.
Changes in portables or transitional capacity reflect use, lease or purchase, sale, surplus and/or
movement between facilities.
The District will be moving to a K-5 Elementary and 6-8 Middle School model beginning the
2023-2024 school year. Capacity has been added at the middle school level by reopening the
former Sequoia Junior High (now Canyon Ride Middle School).
The district worked with Educational Data Solutions, LLC to update student generation factors.
The updated rates are included in the body of the Plan.
The student headcount enrollment forecast is updated annually. All Elementary schools now
have Full Day Kindergarten so six-year Kindergarten projections were previously modified to
meet the requirements for Full Day Kindergarten programs at all elementary schools.
The district expects to receive some State Funding Assistance (formerly called “state matching
funds”) for projects in this Plan and tax credit factors are updated annually. Unfunded site and
facility need will be reviewed in the future.
The impact fees for 2024 calendar year will result in no collection of impact fees for both
Single-Family and Multi-Family due to the capacity study completed in Spring 2023.

I. INTRODUCTION
Purpose of the Capital Facilities Plan:
This Six-Year Capital Facilities Plan (the “Plan”) annual update was prepared by Renton School
District (the “District”) in compliance with the requirements of the Washington State Growth
Management Act (GMA, the Act), King County Code Title 21A.43, and applicable ordinances of
the cities of Bellevue, Newcastle, and Renton. It is the district’s intent that the Plan be adopted
by King County and the cities of Bellevue, Newcastle, and Renton as a sub-element of their
respective Capital Facilities Plans, and that that those jurisdictions assess and collect school
impact fees on behalf of the district, as empowered by the GMA. This Plan, however, is not
intended to be the sole planning instrument developed by the district to determine its capital
facility needs.
The GMA was adopted by the State legislature in 1990 in response to rapidly increasing
development, most notably in King County and the surrounding central Puget Sound area. The
Act requires state and local governments to manage Washington’s growth by developing and
implementing comprehensive land-use and transportation plans, by designating Urban Growth
Areas, and by protecting natural resources and environmentally critical areas.
The Capital Facilities Plan is one element of a County or City’s Comprehensive Plan that
addresses existing public facility capacities, forecasts future public facility needs, presents a plan
for expanding existing facilities or constructing new facilities to meet those needs, and indicates
how those public facility improvements are to be financed. The GMA empowers jurisdictions to
assess and collect impact fees as one means of financing new public facilities necessitated by
private development.
This Capital Facilities Plan addresses the impact of growth on public school facilities by
examining:
1. anticipated growth of the district’s student population over the next six years.
2. the ability of existing and proposed classroom facilities to house those students based on
the district’s current Standard of Service.
3. the need for additional enrollment or growth driven capital facilities.
4. the method of financing those capital improvements; and
5. calculation of school impact fees based on, among other variables, the number of students
generated by recent residential development (student generation factors).

This plan is updated annually and submitted to local governments for inclusion as a sub-element
in their Capital Facilities Plans. Past Plans have been adopted by King County and the Cities of
Bellevue, Newcastle, and Renton. The district continues to dialogue with the cities of Tukwila
and SeaTac regarding implementation of impact fees within their jurisdictions. The new impact
fees calculated and associated with this 2023 CFP, are effective Jan 2024. They are further
defined in section VII and in the appendices.
Overview of the Renton School District:
The district is located on the south end of Lake Washington, eleven miles south of Seattle to the
west and south of Bellevue to the east. Home to nearly 100,000 people who value working,
living, and playing in the Pacific Northwest, Renton has a strong economic base and a favorable
business climate. The district spans approximately thirty-two square miles and serves a diverse
population of approximately 15,000 students in pre-K through 12th grade at 4 high schools, four
middle schools, fifteen elementary schools, and an early childhood learning center.
District programs also address the special needs of disabled, academically gifted, and artistically
talented students. Four schools (Renton Park Elementary, Hazelwood Elementary, McKnight
Middle, and Lindbergh High) are U.S. Department of Education-recognized Blue-Ribbon
Schools of Excellence. Community support for Renton schools is strong. School levies, which
make up 25% of the district's budget, have been consistently approved by the community for
more than 20 years. Voter-approved bond measures or capital facilities levies from 1992 through
2022 have brought exciting improvements in school buildings and support facilities, including
the rebuilding of all elementary schools, the remodeling of all middle and high schools, and the
recent additional construction of a new elementary school (Sartori) and middle school (Risdon).
Voter support has also provided state-of-the-art technology - a must to prepare students for living
and working in this leading high-tech region. Every classroom has high-speed Internet
connections and ample computer devices for all students.
Creating life-long learners is at the heart of Renton School District's instructional goals. Students
are encouraged to reach for excellence through a variety of programs that focus on basic
academic skills, problem solving, creative and critical thinking, and social and emotional growth.
Each year, Renton School District students qualify as National Merit Finalists while the total
value of college scholarships earned is in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Elementary level
students are well-grounded in science through participation in the Hands-on Science
Kit Program, lauded by the National Science Teachers' Association. At the high school level, the
district's challenging chemistry program, which provides options for advanced placement college

credit, has been recognized by the National Science Association, as well as the National Science
Foundation. The focus in math is on intensive instruction in the basic skills, supplemented by
opportunities to apply developing knowledge to real world problems. The K-12 math program
increases student achievement through problem solving, integration of technology, and a
rigorous assessment component. Students from elementary to high school levels regularly excel
in regional and national mathematics contests. Across all levels and subjects, reading with
accuracy and understanding is a primary goal. Elementary students receive a rich exposure to
fine literature. Middle and high school students work extensively on reading in the content areas
and exploring classic and modern literature works. Reading activities are integrated with a
topnotch writing program beginning in kindergarten that provides students with intensive and
focused practice for the proficiency in a wide range of language arts skills from creative to
business and technical writing.
A variety of classes, clubs, and programs give students opportunities to expand their educational
horizons and pursue special interests. Choices range from instrumental and music, performing
and visual arts, intramurals and athletics, academic-focused and career clubs, and community
service opportunities to leadership development programs, business internships, job shadowing,
and participation in the annual robotics competition. Special needs students with physical,
emotional, and academic disabilities receive individualized attention from skilled teachers.
Special education and remedial support are also available and children who are just learning
English receive intensive, small-group ESL instruction to supplement their regular classroom
learning. Guidance and counseling services are available for primary, middle, and high school
students. Intellectually gifted children have many opportunities for extended learning. Operating
at two magnet elementary schools and the three middle schools, the Discovery Program offers a
challenging curriculum with a special focus on higher level thinking skills. High school students
can take advantage of a full range of honors and advanced placement classes.
Renton School District staff consistently show a commitment to their most important task -
preparing their students for success in work and life. More than 80 percent of certificated staff
have five or more years of higher education, and two of every three teachers have advanced
degrees in their fields. Several of the district's certificated and classified staff have received the
Washington Award for Educational Excellence. Individual teachers have received special honors
such as the Christa McAuliffe Award for Excellence in Education, the Outstanding Secondary
Science Award, the Washington State High School Social Studies Teacher of the Year Award,
and Outstanding College Alumni recognition. Teachers are encouraged to take an active role in
promoting their own professional growth through creating and refining curriculum, sharing
successful strategies, and looking for new ways to assess student progress. This focus on
continuous staff development enables teachers to consistently improve the quality of instruction
and prepares them to help students meet rigorous state academic standards. Hundreds of training
opportunities are offered to teachers and other staff members each year, ranging from CPR and
first aid, technology education, diversity, and crisis intervention to math, science, and reading
instruction strategies, assessment techniques, and arts education.

II. ENROLLMENT TRENDS
Over the past year, District enrollment continued to decline. There were differences across the
region, however. While King County had a net gain of 370 students, public school enrollment in
the four-county region (King, Kitsap, Pierce, and Snohomish) is still more 23,000 students less
than what it was in October 2019. Renton’s decline in enrollment may still be due to the
pandemic, but also the continued lower growth rate of immigrant population. Home based
instruction also increased in Renton and the surrounding areas.
The district will continue to monitor trends, but there are significant conditions that may speak to
the potential for enrollment growth in the future. The number of new housing units expected to
be developed in the district boundary is larger than what has been experienced in the last decade.
Additionally, the most recent economic factors increasing interest rates and inflation appear to be
causing a reduction in housing prices, at least in the immediate term. This could drive an influx
of new home buyers and new construction in the next few years.
Discussion on whether enrollment will return to pre-pandemic levels will continue over the next
couple of years with future CFP’s. The early learning model in most cases had been through
remote delivery methods and returned to partial in-person learning in 2020-2021. The district
returned to in-person learning in the 2021-2022 school year, with families still having an option
for a virtual program – but it was not highly utilized. Still, the District will not fully understand
the ongoing impact of instructional delivery, the current housing market, fuel increases, among
others until further into the next couple of school years.
Approval by the community of a 2019 bond measure allowed the district to construct a new
elementary school (#16) to accommodate over-enrollment in the K-5 grade span and to provide
some elementary capacity relief. Sartori, another new elementary was opened in 2019 as a choice
school in the downtown area. Considering the decline in enrollment and the effect of the
pandemic, the district chose to supplement the 2020 CFP by further evaluating the enrollment
and capacity of the elementary schools located within or near the service areas the new
elementary school #16. The conclusion of that analysis reaffirmed the district need for the new
elementary school. #16. The new elementary school is scheduled to open this fall (2023) and is
discussed later in this Plan.
III. STANDARD OF SERVICE & CAPACITY
The Renton School District Standard of Service is the standard adopted by the district that
identifies the program year, school organizational structure, student/teacher ratios by grade level
(considering the requirements of students with special needs), daily class schedule, types of
facilities and other factors identified by the district to be beneficial in supporting its educational
programs and objectives. The Standard of Service is the major determining factor, together with
the number of classrooms (teaching stations), in calculating facility capacity.

The district has adopted a traditional elementary/middle/high school organizational structure that
houses kindergarten through Grade 5 in elementary schools, Grades 6 through 8 in middle
schools, and Grades 9 through 12 in high schools. The school-year calendar adopted by the
District is also traditional; typically beginning in late August and ending in mid-June. Similarly,
the District maintains a common daily schedule, with classes beginning between 7:20 and 9:30
a.m. and ending between 2:03 and 3:10 p.m., depending on grade level.
The district, and the Renton Education Association, recognize that reasonable class size is
necessary for optimum learning, and have established the following targets in student/teacher
ratios:
Grade Levels K-1 21:1
Grade Level 2 22:1
Grade Level 3 24:1
Grade Levels 4-12 29:1
The 29:1 ratio at the secondary level applies to all Language Arts, Social Studies, Science, Math,
World Languages, World Language Exploratory and Health classes. Other ratios apply as
follows:
Band/Orchestra 40:1
Choir 50:1
Middle School PE 35:1
High School PE 40:1
All other classes 31:1
For the purposes of this report, student /teacher ratio for special education classes held in self-
contained classrooms within comprehensive elementary and secondary facilities is assumed to be
12:1. Educational facilities dedicated solely to special education or other specialized programs
are excluded from capacity calculations, as are associated student headcounts.
In response to new State and District high school graduation requirements, beginning with the
2018-2019 school year, all District high schools changed from a semester system to a trimester
system, resulting in the following:
• Three 12-week terms instead of two 18-week terms,
• Five 72-minute periods per day instead of six 57-minute periods, and
• Reduction of classroom efficiency from 83% to 80%, reducing facility capacity.
Beginning with the graduating class of 2020-2021, high school graduation requirements require
one additional credit of science (three instead of two), and a total of twenty-four credits; three
more than the previously required 21. This has impacted high school capacity, especially
AGENDA ITEM #6. e)

W:\Board Meetings\2023.07.08\2023 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN.docx
8
regarding science classrooms, where additional classroom space suitable for the various sciences,
or the renovation/upgrade of existing classrooms to accommodate the same, will be necessary.
The construction of new science classroom addition at Lindbergh High is one such project
included in last year’s update. It is not included in the he calculation of this year’s impact fees or
previous year’s impact fees.
Student/teacher ratios, referenced earlier, are applicable to both permanent and relocatable
classrooms. However, since relocatable facilities do not allow for the full range of educational
activities promoted by the district, they are generally viewed as temporary or interim housing,
necessary to accommodate enrollment fluctuations and development driven enrollment increases,
but only until such time as permanent facilities can be financed and constructed. For those
reasons, relocatable classrooms capacities are calculated, but not used in the analysis of future
facility needs.
Practical Capacity Model:
The Practical Capacity Model calculates building capacity based on limitations that existing
facilities place on enrollment as a result of current educational program needs, operating policy,
and contractual restrictions. This is sometimes also referred to School Program Capacity.
The calculation is made by reviewing the use of each classroom/teaching station in each facility.
For every room housing student, a calculation is made, assigning a maximum number of students
per room. Sometimes the capacity of core facilities, such as the cafeteria or gym, or the quantity
of restroom fixtures, may limit facility capacity to a level below that calculated by collective
classroom capacity levels. This has generally been reviewed at each school level, giving each
school leadership team the ability to utilize classrooms in the most efficient manner possible,
considering their current enrollment. In future CFP’s, we may begin to evaluate and report
program capacity more specifically and show the impact on overall capacity. For example, if the
school enrollment has a higher number of special ed students in a given year, then there is
potential for another full classroom/teaching station to be taken out of capacity inventory,
thereby reducing the overall school capacity for that given year. Given that we will be entering
into a year with boundary adjustments to accommodate the opening of the new elementary
school (Hilltop Heritage ES), the 2024 CFP will be a more appropriate year to provide further
analysis of enrollment at each school, overall capacity, and program (practical) capacity.
Capacity at the secondary school level is further limited by class scheduling restrictions and
student distribution among elective classes. Based on a typical middle school six-period day,
where one period is designated for teacher planning, capacity is reduced by one-sixth, or 17
percent, of theoretical capacity. Similarly, at high schools, with the newly established five-period
day, capacity is reduced by one-fifth, or 20 percent. Elective classes, many of which require
specialized classrooms, also figure into the equation for determining a school’s capacity, which
together with required classes, require a well thought out Master Schedule if the facility’s
capacity is to be maximized.

Current Capacity:
Overall building (student) capacity of existing, permanent K-12 facilities, excluding special
education facilities and facilities housing alternative learning environments, is 14,788. As
mentioned above, the district will begin to look at each school over the next year to better
analyze program capacity at each school. When faced with a boundary adjustment this year with
the opening of the new elementary school, we learned that the school-student capacity numbers
were not completely telling of actual school capacity, when considering each school’s population
needs.
Based on prior enrollment the district has shown a capacity deficit in the 6-8 grade span in the
out years; as well as continued, yet smaller deficit in the K-5 grade span. That deficit has
transitioned to a surplus with enrollment decline but will also show more of a surplus when the
new elementary school opens this. The opening of the new school this fall is allowing for relief
at some of the over-crowded schools, but also allowing the district to intentionally have a lower
enrollment at a couple of schools where some building improvements are needed before large
new developments finish construction and begin to generate students in the area. We continue to
note also that that current and future capacity at the elementary level, as documented in this
report, is based on the district’s current Standard of Service, and does not necessarily reflect
aspirational K-3 student/teacher ratios of seventeen students to one teacher. The district
continues to make progress towards these requirements, by utilizing available classroom space,
added staffing and plans to utilize the new elementary school classrooms to work towards this
ratio. Most recent ratios have been anywhere from 17.3 to 19:1 but staffing during covid has
slowed the districts progress. Continued efforts will be made with opening of the new elementary
school providing more classroom space to progress towards the K-3 standard of 17:1.
Elementary school capacity has been the district’s greatest challenge. Relying heavily on the use
of relocatable classrooms (portables) to accommodate the fluctuating student population,
portables at elementary schools account for over 15% of the district’s total
K – 5 facility capacity. Portables are not considered permanent structures and are therefore not
included in the inventory of permanent facilities. They are viewed as a short-term solution for
managing enrollment fluctuation, housing students on a temporary or interim basis until
permanent facilities can be constructed.
Renton School District’s capital facilities include both permanent structures and relocatable
(interim or portable) classrooms. Permanent facilities are further categorized as either K-12
(traditional elementary, middle, and high school configurations), Special Instructional Use, or
Non-instructional Support Facilities.
The district’s permanent K-12 facilities include 15 (soon to be 16) elementary schools, four
middle schools, and four high schools. Two Special Instructional Use facilities house the
district’s early childhood, special education, and alternative learning programs. Support facilities
include the Kohlwes Education Center (admin.), Transportation Center, Facilities Operations and
Maintenance Center, Nutrition Services/Warehouse, Renton Memorial Stadium, and the
Lindbergh Swimming Pool. Total permanent facilities encompass 2,595,263 square feet, with
2,417,847 square feet (93%) devoted to K-12 and instructional special use. See Appendix A for
District Maps.

The district’s relocatable K-12 facilities are used primarily to address enrollment fluctuations and
to house students on an interim or temporary basis until permanent facilities can be constructed.
For those reasons they are not considered a long-term solution for housing students and are not
acknowledged in the calculation of the capacity of K-12 facilities. Of the fifty-five relocatable
facilities in the district’s inventory, forty-four are “double portables” containing two classrooms,
and eleven are singles. Combined, they provide the district with a total of ninety-nine relocatable
classrooms, encompassing 88,704 square feet of additional space available for instruction.
The tables below summarize existing K-12 facility capacity. A complete inventory of District
facilities, including undeveloped property follows. Facility capacity worksheets may be found in

IV. ENROLLMENT PROJECTIONS
Projection Methodology:
Numerous methodologies are available for projecting long-term enrollments. The most common
method is known as cohort survival which tracks groups of students through the system and
adjusts the populations to account for the average year-to- year growth. For example, this year’s
fourth grade is adjusted based on the average enrollment trend of the past in order to estimate
next year’s fifth grade enrollment. This calculation method considers the past five years’ trends
to determine the average adjustment factor for each grade, or cohort. The method works well for
all grades except kindergarten, where there is no previous year data. For kindergarten, two
methodologies are generally used: A linear extrapolation from the previous five years of
kindergarten enrollment, assuming that there is a trend; or, alternatively, a comparison of the
kindergarten enrollment to births from five years prior can be used to calculate a “birth-to-k”
ratio. For example, kindergarten enrollment in 2019 is divided by the total births in King County
in 2014 to produce a birth-to-k ratio. The average ratio for the last five years can then be applied
to births in subsequent years to estimate kindergarten enrollment.
The cohort survival method has been used by OSPI to predict enrollment for all Districts in the
state. In past years, OSPI has used a 6-year cohort average for grades 1-12 and a linear
extrapolation method at kindergarten. In 2008, OSPI commissioned a study to evaluate the
effectiveness of this method for predicting enrollment. The report recommended the use of the
“birth-to-k” method for predicting kindergarten enrollment and the use of a housing adjustment
factor for Districts that are likely to be impacted by large numbers of new housing developments.
The cohort survival method generally works well for Districts that have a consistent trend of
gradual increases or declines in enrollment. It is less reliable in Districts where spikes in
demographic trends (especially a marked increase or decrease in new housing) can lead to
dramatic swings in enrollment from one year to the next. In addition, the use of the linear
extrapolation method at the kindergarten level can result in a distorted trend since it does not
consider changes in birth rate trends. Combining cohort survival with other information about
births, housing, regional population trends, and even trends in service area and private school
enrollment can sometimes provide for a more accurate forecast. For this Plan, the average rollup

at existing grades was combined with estimates of growth that might be expected from new
housing, and assumptions about market share gains or losses that the district is likely to see at
certain grade levels. Estimates of housing growth for this model were obtained from building
permit information provided by the respective jurisdictions. However, there are many unknowns
due to the overall market pause in real estate, rising gas prices, inflation, and some still consider
the pandemic to be of concern. The districts response to this was to consider three projections: a
low, medium, and high. Due to inflation and rising interest rates, real estate prices are leveling
off and decreasing in some neighborhoods. Considering the relative prices seen in Renton as
compared to outlying and more expensive suburban area, this could drive a higher-than-expected
growth rate. Because the District needs to be as prepared as possible for a higher growth rate, we
are monitoring all three scenarios. There is more potential for growth in the K-5 and high school
grade span in the outyears and some decline is anticipated in the 6-8 grade span.
Projections and Future Capacity:
Enrollment projections provided by Educational Data Solutions, LLC indicate continued decline
in the elementary grade span over the next couple of years, with a minor decrease in middle
school and high school enrollment at varied years, but overall, a relatively flat rate in the big
picture. Using the high-level growth chart, overall enrollment in the out-years is projected to
grow by about six hundred students spread over all three grades spans, but still does not project
we are back to pre-pandemic enrollment levels until after October 2028. The district will
continue to monitor development, move-in/move-outs, and trends within the four-county area to
better predict enrollment more than two years out.
As the District moves past the pandemic and related impacts, there is potential for development
growth in the real estate market and for a resurgence of immigrant population with recent
political administration changes at the national level. The local jurisdiction is still planning on
over 5,000 new residential units in various areas over the next 2-10 years. It is the district’s
responsibility to monitor these projects, the timing and how the district will be able to respond
with appropriate capacity to accommodate instructional delivery.
The number of new homes planned for future construction in the District is much higher than the
number of permitted units that were built between 2017 and 2021.This may suggest than
enrollment losses could be lower in the near terms but could see net gains in the out-years due to
growth from new housing. (see past and future housing development in the appendices)
Projections show a slight increase in middle school enrollment over the next six years if
considering the high growth projections. There are currently no plans to increase middle school
capacity, as even with a slight growth, enrollment would still not be back to pre-pandemic levels.
Using the same high projection at the high school level, projected enrollment over the next six
years will add an additional 185 students. If these projections hold in the near term, this growth
could coincide with district plans to replace Renton High School. As part of the voter approved
November 2022 bond, funds are provided for both land acquisition and construction of a new
Renton High School. The 2024 CFP will address this more completely as the district determines
location and construction period. Medium range and high range projections are provided in the
appendices.

V. ENROLLMENT DRIVEN FACILITY NEEDS
With the opening of the new Sartori Elementary School in August 2018, the 2017 elementary
deficit capacity of 1,244 was dramatically reduced by nearly 40% to 755. With the passage of the
2019 Bond Measure, approved by the voters in November 2019, the District is will be opening
its sixteenth elementary school, located in the Hazen High School service area, where the district
has experienced the most recent growth in the past decade plus. The new school is scheduled to
be completed and opened for the 2023/2024 school year. This new school has been named
Hilltop Heritage Elementary School. Enrollment declines since fall 2020 show a loss of students
from 7,057 students to 6,732 students in fall 2022. While this helps to balance out enrollment vs.
capacity in this current school year, we will see an increase in capacity this fall with the new
school opening. However, projections do show growth in this grade span by another 413 students
in the out years.
At the middle school level, decreased enrollment combined with lower projections show that the
district will continue to have a small surplus in the next year. We will continue to monitor, but
there are currently no enrollment or growth driven capital facilities projects in the planning
stages for middle schools. However, there is discussion for future bond planning, the need to
replace both Nelson Middle School and Dimmitt Middle School. Those projects would be
reviewed in future bond planning discussions and enrollment growth and projections would be
considered at that time.
As previously mentioned, the 2022 voter-approved bond allows the district to acquire property
and plan for the replacement of Renton High School. This will be both an opportunity to add
program capacity to address anticipated and projected growth in the out years, but to also ensure
program equity across the high school grade space. The district desires to ensure educational
space and opportunity is provided and comparable to what is offered at both Hazen and Lindberg
High Schools.

In addition to any discussion around projected permanent facility deficits at the elementary and
high school levels, it should be noted that the District is also reaching its maximum limit in
providing portable classrooms at its existing sites due to current land use and building code
requirements. Although not included in the calculation of potential Impact Fees, the
implementation of new relocatable classrooms and/or the relocation of existing ones, remains a
viable method of addressing both growth and the shifting of student population, for the short
term.
Similarly, science classroom additions proposed for Lindbergh High School, as well as other
potential high school renovations, additions, or relocations responding to enrollment growth
and/or changes in capacity methodology, are not included in the calculation of these fees. Those
current projects are more related to program needs and existing enrollment. We have not
considered these projects to be added capacity at the high school grade span.
The next table compares the current permanent capacity of Renton School District facilities to
current and projected enrollment for the next six years. As noted earlier, the district will take a
closer look at overall permanent capacity compared to practical or program capacity this next
year and will report those findings in the 2024 CFP.

Capital Construction Plan:
For the last six-year period, the district’s highest priorities have been to address existing and
projected facility capacity deficits, aging infrastructure at secondary schools, and responding
to/planning for both growth and program related added capacity. These projects funded by the
2019 bond and impact fees, are projects responding to growth. This has included:
• Completion of Hilltop Heritage Elementary school - most of the growth has occurred and
relief is needed at some schools in the Hazen High School service area – in the
elementary grade-span.
• High school additions and/or renovations to create additional science
classroom/laboratory space to address changes in State graduation requirements
• Planning for replacement of Renton High School, Dimmitt Middle School and/or Nelson
Middle School – all aging facilities and potentially impacted by growth
• Acquisition of land for future development
• Addition and or relocation of relocatable classrooms (interim classroom space known as
portables)
During the next six years, the district’s voter approved bond on the Nov. 8, 2022, election ballot
will allow the district to stay on track to make major renovations, replacements, and upgrades to
keep our schools in top operating condition, while protecting taxpayer investments in our
buildings and helping maintain high property values. Currently, these are not growth generated
projects. These include:
Safety & Security
• Interior door hardware/lock updates
• New key system
• Main entry video intercoms
• Entryway improvements to provide front door line-of-sight for office staff
School Improvements
• Update seismic and structural systems in older buildings (retrofitting
and modification of existing structures to make them more resistant to seismic
activity, ground motion, or soil failure)
• Improvements and equipment replacement of school Heating, Ventilation, and Air
Conditioning (HVAC) systems
• Upgrades to electrical, plumbing, and mechanical systems
• Upgrades to boilers and domestic hot water heaters

Purchase Property
• Provide for up to forty acres for a Renton High School replacement
Build New Renton High School – at a location to be determined
• Build a new high school facility for the Renton High School service area, providing
a modern learning environment and equitable athletic opportunities for all students
The District’s intent in structuring its capital improvement program is to maintain a constant
level of construction throughout the program period to optimize the utilization of its management
capabilities. The District utilizes a combination of in-house project management (Capital
Projects Office) and outside management consultants to accomplish this.
VI. SIX-YEAR FINANCE PLAN
Finance Plan:
The primary funding sources for all capital construction projects scheduled over the next six
years include 2019 Bond funds, remaining funds from the 2016 capital levy; and school impact
fees currently collected by King County and the cities of Bellevue, Newcastle, and Renton
throughout 2023, as growth projects that addressed past capacity deficits are completed. Growth
driven projects funded by past collected impact fees and 2019 bond funds are nearing
completion. The district also has funds from a voter approved bond in November 2023 for $676
million. The majority of those funds will be directed towards land acquisition and the
replacement of Renton High School, as previously described.
While there could be placement of temporary facilities or portables due to growth over the next
six years at various locations, depending upon enrollment growth - the district does not yet know
if the replacement of the high school will need to increase capacity due to growth. This project
will not begin for 2-3 years, due to the need for land acquisition. If enrollment and projections
show additional capacity is needed to accommodate growth, we will evaluate the collection of
impact fees at that time.
Enrollment driven projects represent only a portion of the district’s total capital improvement
plan. Estimated expenditures for enrollment driven projects over the duration of this six-year
plan are indicated below.

II. IMPACT FEES
Impact Fees:
Impact fees were calculated in conformance with King County Council Ordinance 11621,
resulting in a decrease in impact fees for single-family of $750.00 per unit – now set at $2161.00,
and an increase in impact fees for multi-family of $560.00 per unit – now set at $4,257.00.
Student generation factors were generally the same this year, with a slight increase in multi-
family – primarily due to the presence of more low-income units and units with multiple
bedrooms. Calculations in 2022 included increased construction costs, and while costs have
continued to increase, the district has not added additional construction costs into the calculation
for 2023. Assessed and taxable values have increased for both single family and multi-family
units, as have bond interest rates. The construction of the new elementary school was front
funded by the district and was constructed to address growth in the district. The district will
continue collection of impact fees to help offset related costs and will be evaluated on an annual
basis moving forward. The 2024-25 CFP will review enrollment, projections, and projected
growth to determine if any growth-related projects are needed to address potential capacity
deficits moving forward in any of the grade spans.
The GMA empowers jurisdictions to assess and collect impact fees as a means of supplementing
the funding of additional public facilities necessitated by enrollment growth from new
development. In the case of public schools, impact fees are assessed only on residential new
development. To determine an equitable school impact fee throughout unincorporated King
County, King County Code 21A was adopted, establishing an impact fee formula that has in turn
been adopted by the cities of Bellevue, Newcastle, and Renton, in their respective enabling
ordinances. The formula requires that school districts establish “Student Generation Factors” that
estimate the number of students generated by each new single or multi-family residential unit
constructed and establish district-specific construction costs that are unique to that district. Refer
to appendices for substantiating documentation on Student Generation Factors.

STUDENT GENERATION RATES (SGR)
The formula for determining school impact fees, as established by King County Council
Ordinance 11621, requires that school districts provide “student factors based on district
records of average actual student generation rates for new developments constructed over a
period of not more than five years prior to the date of the fee calculation.” The Ordinance
also provides that, in the event this information is not available in the District, “data from
adjacent districts, districts with similar demographics, or county-wide averages must be
used.” In years past, the district used average SGR’S from nearby districts. Starting with
the 2021 CFP, the district began using its own SGR derived from residential projects with
the district. The district used those SGR’s again for the 2022 CFP - due to paused
construction and covid impacts on enrollment. Student generation rates have been updated
this year and are included in impact fee calculations. There is not a significant difference is
student generation rates from 2021 generated rates. The multi-family rate is higher at 28
per one hundred vs. 24 per one hundred. This slightly higher rate is likely due to presence
of more low-income units and units with multiple bedrooms.

units are for low-income residents and based on the number of bedrooms in each unit.
These differences can help the district when planning for future growth from housing.

AGENDA ITEM #6. e)
Capital Facilities Plan 4
1.0 Introduction
1.1 PURPOSE
The purpose of this Capital Facilities Plan (CFP) is to identify capital facility needs necessary for
the Renton Regional Fire Authority (RRFA) to achieve and maintain adopted standards for levels
of service concurrent with, or prior to, the impacts of expected development and population
growth over the next six years (2024-2029) and is consistent with the land use and transportation
elements of the City of Renton (City) and King County comprehensive plans. This CFP also
identifies sound fiscal policies and funding resources for implementation.
1.2 CAPITAL PLANNING REQUIREMENTS
The Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA) requires that a county’s or city’s CFP
should consist of: a) an inventory of existing capital facilities owned by public entities; b) a
forecast of the future needs for capital facilities; c) the proposed locations and capacities of
expanded or new capital facilities; d) a six-year plan to finance capital facilities within projected
funding capacities and clearly identified sources of public money for such purposes; and e) a
requirement to reassess the land use element if probable funding falls short of existing needs
(RCW 36.70a.070(3)). The GMA requires that all capital facilities have “probable funding” to pay
for capital facility needs and that jurisdictions have capital facilities in place and readily available
when new development comes in or must be of sufficient capacity when the population grows.
The City prepares a CFP element as part of its comprehensive plan. In accordance with the
Interlocal Agreement (ILA) in place between the City and the RRFA, the City will incorporate the
RRFA’s six-year plan for fire and emergency services facilities into its comprehensive plan CFP.
That allows the City to impose an impact fee. Impact fees may be collected and spent only for
the public facilities addressed by a CFP element of a comprehensive land use plan adopted
pursuant to the GMA (RCW 82.02.050 (4)).
Levels of service (LOS) are established in the CFP and represent quantifiable measures of capacity.
They are minimum standards established by the RRFA to provide capital facilities and services to
the RRFA service area at a certain level of quality and within the financial capacity of the RRFA.
As the population grows, it is expected that demands for fire and emergency response services
will also grow. Additional facilities will be necessary to meet this growing demand for service.
LOS standards are influenced by local citizens, elected, and appointed officials, national and state
standards, mandates, and other considerations, such as available funding.
Growth, LOS standards, and a funded capital improvement program are to be in balance. In the
case where the LOS cannot be met by a service or facility, the jurisdiction could do one of the

AGENDA ITEM #6. e)
Capital Facilities Plan 5
following: 1) add proposed facilities within funding resources, 2) reduce demand through
demand management strategies, 3) lower LOS standards, 4) phase growth, or 5) change the land
use plan.
1.3 DEFINITION OF CAPITAL FACILITIES
The CFP addresses public facilities necessary for providing fire and emergency response services.
Capital facilities generally have a long useful life and include RRFA-owned and/or -operated
buildings, land, equipment, and apparatus. Capital facilities planning does not cover regular
operation and maintenance, but it does include major repair, rehabilitation, or reconstruction of
facilities. The RRFA considers capital assets to be assets of more than $5,000 in value and an
estimated useful life of more than one year.
1.4 PRINCIPLES GUIDING CAPITAL INVESTMENTS
There are two main guiding elements behind capital facilities planning: RRFA standard operating
procedures (SOP) that define fiscal policies and the GMA. RRFA SOP 2315 “Reserve Funds” and
SOP 2317 “Long-Term Planning” address the RRFA’s policies regarding capital reserves and
investments. The CFP supports RRFA in making strategic capital investments that support this
effort.
RRFA intends to use the CFP as:
a tool for budgeting;
the basis for capital spending, giving a degree of assurance about how public
money will be spent; and
a useful guidance document for leadership and staff.
Toward that end, RRFA has developed and used the following guidelines to evaluate projects
before adding them to the CFP:
Growth-related project costs should be timed to match with available remitted
fire impact fee revenues.
Project costs that are not growth-related should be timed to match with
revenues available through operating transfers.
Projects should be spaced to allow for progress on RRFA’s other financial goals,
especially maintaining its capital and operating reserves.
1.5 RRFA HISTORY AND GOVERNANCE
RRFA is a special purpose district that provides fire and medical emergency response services
within the City and King County Fire District 25 (KCFD25). The RRFA was established on July 1,
2016, after voters residing within KCFD25 and the City approved Proposition 1. This legislation
Back to Top
AGENDA ITEM #6. e)
Capital Facilities Plan 6
formed the regional fire authority and authorized a fire benefit charge. Prior to the creation of
the RRFA, service in the City was provided by Renton Fire & Emergency Services (RF&ES) and both
KCFD25 and King County Fire District 40 (KCFD40) contracted for services with the City.
Creation of the RRFA consolidated fire protection for the City and KCFD25 under a single special
local government authority. The contract for fire protection with KCFD40 remained in place and
transferred to RRFA and was renewed in 2022 for an additional twenty years. Accordingly,
KCFD40 is treated as part of the RRFA entity for the purposes of this CFP.
1.6 SERVICE AREA
RRFA is located at the south end of Lake Washington, between Seattle and Tacoma. According to
King County GIS data, the RRFA’s total response area is 37 square miles, including the City of
Renton and KCFD25 (27 square miles) and the KCFD40 and Lake Youngs area (10 square miles).
KCFD25 is located in the area east of the City and north of State Route 169 known as the East
Renton Highlands. KCFD40 and Lake Youngs are located in the area east of the City and south of
State Route 169 known as Fairwood. The RRFA service area is bordered by unincorporated areas
of King County, as well as the cities of Kent, Tukwila, and Newcastle, with the City of Seattle just
a few miles northwest. Exhibit 1-1 presents a map of the RRFA service area and station locations.

1.7 CURRENT CONDITIONS AND PROJECTED GROWTH
Renton is the fourth largest city in King County, covering 23.54 square miles and having an
estimated 2022 population of 107,900. The City includes residential neighborhoods, a strong
industrial base, and a growing commercial/office sector. The City’s downtown and northern
manufacturing area were designated as a regional growth center by the Puget Sound Regional
Council (PSRC) in 1995. The northern part of the regional growth center borders Lake Washington
and emphasizes mixed use and regional employment, including the Boeing Company’s Renton
Plant and The Landing, a significant recent retail and residential development. The southern part
of the regional growth center includes the downtown core and adjacent residential area.
Downtown Renton has seen investment in recent years, including the Renton Pavilion Event
Center and Piazza Park, the Renton Transit Center, the IKEA Performing Arts Center, Top Golf, the
Hyatt, and Southport. The City also contains commercial corridors, multi-family nodes, and
extensive single-family neighborhoods. KCFD25 and KCFD40 mostly contain residential areas
located in King County outside of Renton city limits.
Population projections for Renton, KCFD25, and KCFD40 for the years 2023-2029 are presented
in Exhibit 1-2.1 The City is expected to grow by 6,053 residents, 86% of the total population
growth forecasted for the RRFA service area.

3.0 Measuring Future Capital Facility Needs
The GMA was enacted to provide local oversight of community growth with the intent for local
governments such as counties, cities, and towns to monitor and mitigate the impacts of growth.
GMA Goal 1 promotes placing growth in urban areas where there are public facilities and services,
while GMA Goal 12 promotes adequate facilities and services to support development:
(1) Urban growth. Encourage development in urban areas where adequate public facilities and
services exist or can be provided in an efficient manner.
(12) Public facilities and services. Ensure that those public facilities and services necessary to
support development shall be adequate to serve the development at the time the development
is available for occupancy and use without decreasing current service levels below locally
established minimum standards (RCW 36.70A.020(12)).
Concurrency for transportation infrastructure is mandated by the GMA, and local agencies were
given the authority to establish concurrency guidelines for other public needs such as water,
sewer, and fire services:
Purpose.
The purpose of concurrency is to assure that those public facilities and services
necessary to support development are adequate to serve that development at
the time it is available for occupancy and use, without decreasing service levels
below locally established minimum standards.
Concurrency describes the situation in which adequate facilities are available
when the impacts of development occur, or within a specified time thereafter.
Concurrency ensures consistency in land use approval and the development of
adequate public facilities as plans are implemented, and it prevents
development that is inconsistent with the public facilities necessary to support
the development.
With respect to facilities other than transportation facilities, counties and cities
may fashion their own regulatory responses and are not limited to imposing
moratoria on development during periods when concurrency is not maintained
(WAC 365-196-840).
The RRFA CFP identifies the need for $25.5M in capital investments as shown in Exhibits 4-1 and
4-2, to maintain fire service concurrency through the year 2029.
3.1 LEVEL OF SERVICE MEASURES
RRFA measures LOS from three different perspectives. The first concerns the cost of facilities for

AGENDA ITEM #6. e)
Capital Facilities Plan 15
incident response per unit of development. The second perspective concerns turnout and
response times in accordance with established policy. The third perspective concerns the
Protection Class (PC) rating for each of the areas served (the City of Renton, KCFD25, and
KDFD40). Each of these LOS measures are described below.
3.1.1 Cost of Facilities for Incident Response per Unit of Development
In 2023, RRFA conducted a rate study for fire impact fees. That study presents a methodology for
quantifying the need for fire and EMS stations and apparatus to serve new growth, for the
purpose of collecting fire impact fees. The level of service standard is the 2022 ratio of apparatus
and stations to EMS and fire/other incidents. More specifically, the rate study calculates the
annualized facility value per incident as well as the number of incidents produced by different
kinds of development. This determines the total cost of facilities for incident response needed
per unit of development. This standard is used to measure the systemwide capacity of facilities
to support incident response throughout the RRFA service area.
Full documentation of the methodology is available in the rate study. A brief summary follows.
For apparatus, including engines and other response vehicles, the ratio of apparatus to incidents
as of 2022 was selected as an acceptable LOS standard. As growth occurs, more incidents will
occur, and therefore more apparatus will be needed to maintain this standard. It is anticipated
that much of the growth in the RRFA service area will come in the form of infill development and
increased density within the City. As the growth occurs, the RRFA intends to add additional
apparatus units to address the anticipated increase in multi-story housing (ladder) and
emergency medical calls for service (aid unit).
For fire stations, the rate study measures LOS using the ratio of station square footage to
incidents. However, a deduction to the station square footage is made to account for unused
beds that could accommodate additional fire and emergency response staff. As stated above, it
is anticipated that much of the growth in the RRFA service area will come in the form of infill
development and increased density within the City. As this growth occurs, the RRFA intends to
utilize excess bed capacity in current stations to increase its capacity for emergency response at
existing stations.
On the next page, Exhibit 3-1 shows the cost of response per unit of development (dwelling unit,
square foot, room, or student), by land use category, as calculated in the 2023 RRFA Rate Study
for Fire Impact Fees. These represent the total amount of facility investment the RRFA would
need to make to maintain the current level of service as growth occurs within the service area,
but not the actual fire impact fee to be charged.

3.1.2 Turnout and Response Time Standards
Traffic and geographic barriers currently present challenges to providing adequate response time
in some areas. For this reason, RRFA also has turnout and response time standards for measuring
performance across the entire service area and by individual station.
Turnout and response time standards are documented in SOP 4101 “Response Guidelines”. First,
this policy addresses turnout times, or the interval that begins when audible or visual notification
is received by firefighters from the 911 center and ends at the beginning point of travel time. SOP
4101 states: “Turnout time for emergent responses shall be expedient and no longer than one
hundred twenty seconds.” Second, this policy addresses response times, or the interval that
begins with notification and ends with the time the unit arrives on scene. SOP 4101 states: “The
organization aspires in a non-disaster situation, under current conditions of funding, staffing, and
equipment, to respond to 90% of the emergency service calls within 7 minutes and 30 seconds
from the time of dispatch.”
These standards are summarized in Exhibit 3-2.

Service Standard Response Time Meet Response Time Goal
Turnout time for emergency response 120 seconds 100%
First unit arrival 7 minutes and 30 seconds
from the time of dispatch 90%
Measuring response time helps RRFA to identify where additional capacity may be necessary. It
also helps to identify where current conditions such as station design, local traffic, land use, or
geographic barriers are presenting challenges to responding to incidents in a timely manner. For
example, Fire Stations 13 and 16 are multi-story buildings that require response crews to travel
from a second story to the main story in order to respond, thus increasing their turnout time
compared to a single-story station. Similarly, the increased density of multi-family housing and
commercial development outside of the Fire Station 11 response area reduces the probability of
meeting the response standard and impacts response time level of service for that property type.
The response time level of service standards for 2022 are displayed in Exhibit 3-3 and 3-4.

3.1.3 Washington Surveying Rating Bureau Protection Class
A Washington Surveying Rating Bureau (WSRB) protection class (PC) is a score from 1 to 10 that
represents the community-provided fire protection capabilities available at a specific property.
A PC of 1 indicates exemplary fire protection capabilities are available; a PC of 10 indicates the
fire protection capabilities, if any, are not sufficient to receive credit for insurance. Each
community in Washington state has a PC, which is used as a starting point to determine the PC
of individual properties.
In 2018, the City’s PC was upgraded from a Class 3 to a Class 2.6 This put the RRFA’s fire protection
of the City in the top 5% in the country and top 1% in the state. In July of 2022, the City of Seattle
became the first and only fire department in the state to achieve a Class 1 PC.
Exhibit 3-5. City of Renton 2018 PC Rating
The improvements made to fire and life safety throughout Renton over the past several years
have led to this outstanding upgrade in PC for the Renton community. Because a community’s
PC is one of the key factors in insurance premium determination, not only does this upgrade
represent exceptional fire and life safety protection, but Renton property owners also have an
even greater opportunity to realize insurance premium savings. KCFD25 and KCFD40 both
maintain a PC of Class 3.
A community's PC rating is evaluated using the following criteria:
Fire department (40%), including distribution of stations, staffing levels,
equipment, and personnel training.
Water supply (35%), including water flow capacity, fire hydrant location, and
maintenance.
Emergency communications system (9%), including dispatching system,
staffing, and training.
Fire safety control (16%), including fire code and building code enforcement,
fire investigations, and public fire education programs.
6 Source: Country Wide PC Ratings were obtained in 2019 from www.isomitigation.com/ppc/program-works/facts-and-figures-about-ppc-codes-
around-the-country/. State Wide PC Ratings were published in the WSRB Protection Class Report for Renton, dated October 5, 2018.
Back to Top
AGENDA ITEM #6. e)
Capital Facilities Plan 19
Because the PC criteria that most affect the overall rating are the fire operations and deployment
of resources for fire protection, the RRFA must maintain the fire protection apparatus, staffing,
and deployment that supports its current PC rating as growth occurs. For example, WSRB
requires a ladder to be positioned within 2.5 road miles of a given structure. The RRFA maintains
a single ladder located at Fire Station 11 in downtown Renton. Exhibit 3-6 shows the 2.5 road
mile radius of Fire Station 11 in comparison to the projected new development within the City.
A second ladder is required to address the growth in these areas.

RRFA intends to relocate Fire Station 16 and build a new maintenance repair facility within the
City borders to address the anticipated growth in the area. The percent attributed to City growth
is 18%. Construction costs have not yet been developed; however, TCA has provided an estimate
of $20M for the project. The RRFA currently has no debt but does intend to issue Limited Tax
General Obligation (LTGO) bonds in late 2023 and early 2024 for the financing of the new Fire
Station 16 and maintenance facility in the amount of approximately $20M. The debt service in
Exhibit 4-2 represents anticipated bond payments for the years 2024-2029. See Appendix A for
an estimated amortization table.

4.2.2 New Facility Needs
RRFA has identified the need to replace Fire Station 16 in the East Plateau neighborhood on the
northeast side of Renton. The existing facility was built in 1974 and is approaching 50 years old
and does not accommodate the modern needs of the fire service. Building a new station will
increase capacity to serve expected growth in this area of Renton for the next 50 years. In
addition, the RRFA intends to build a new maintenance facility to provide the space necessary to
conduct apparatus service and repair as we continue to expand our fleet. RRFA’s assessment of
facility needs to meet our current level of service standards has determined that 82% of this new
station and maintenance facility will address existing deficiencies while 18% will expand capacity
to serve future growth. Construction of the new Fire Station 16 is anticipated to begin in 2024.
The total estimated cost of this station and additional apparatus repair facility, including land
acquisition, is $20,000,000.
Exhibit 4-3. Fire Station 16
4.2.3 Capital Projects Associated with Station Operational Needs
The RRFA anticipates several improvement projects at existing fire stations necessary to address
operational needs and maintain concurrency of fire services through 2029. These improvements
include major repair and rehabilitation and do not including regular operations and maintenance.
They are summarized in Exhibit 4-2 above and detailed in Appendix B.
4.3 PROPOSED LOCATIONS AND CAPACITIES OF EXPANDED OR NEW
CAPITAL FACILITIES
4.3.1 Apparatus
The RRFA has identified the need to add one aid unit and one ladder to serve the new growth
within the City. Appendix C highlights the areas covered by the addition of an aid unit at Fire
Station 11, much of which includes new development parcels. Appendix D highlights the areas

covered by adding an additional ladder and locating one ladder at Fire Station 12 and one at Fire
Station 13.
4.3.2 Station
The new Fire Station 16 and maintenance facility will be located at 15815 SE 128th St in Renton.
The existing Fire Station 16 is 7,732 square feet (SF) and is situated on a 58,806 SF parcel of land.
Due to the limited size of the current lot, the maximum building area allowed is 12,800 SF which
will not accommodate a station intended to serve growth over the next 50 years, the average
longevity of a fire station. In addition, the current maintenance facility located at Fire Station 13
is at maximum capacity and cannot accommodate servicing any additions to the RRFA fleet. An
additional maintenance facility is needed. The new Fire Station 16 will be located on a 150,200
SF parcel of land and that will allow up to 25,100 SF of building space. A single-story station of
approximately 15,150 will accommodate eight beds and three bays and a five-bay maintenance
facility are planned for the new parcel. See Appendix E for a preliminary layout of the parcel.

5.0 Capital Facilities Revenue Analysis
5.1 OVERVIEW
This CFP revenue analysis supports the financing for providing facilities and services, as required
by RCW 36.70A.070(3)(d). Revenue estimates, using assumptions based on historical trends, are
used to represent realistic expectations for revenue that may be available for capital funding.
This revenue analysis provides an approximate, and not exact, projection of future revenue
sources. The numbers projected in this analysis are for planning purposes and cannot account for
sensitivities such as local, state, and federal policy, economic trends, and other factors. This
analysis may not align with RRFA’s annual budget because it is based on multi-year projections of
revenue, while the annual budget presents precise estimates of available revenue for spending
in a specific fiscal year.
5.2 FUNDING THE CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
Estimated future revenues are projected for the years 2024-2029. The revenue analysis is
categorized according to:
Dedicated Capital Revenues. Dedicated revenues are required to be used for
certain types of capital spending, outlined by the law. The dedicated capital
revenues for RRFA include fire impact fees remitted to RRFA by the City.
Operating Transfers. Operating transfers-in are those revenue sources that are
transferred in from the operating fund. Although these are not dedicated
sources to be relied on for capital funding, the RRFA endeavors to make regular
operating transfers-in to its reserves on a level basis each year. These transfers
are not specifically dedicated to capital spending and could be used elsewhere.
LTGO Bonds. Financing bonds that do not require voter approval or include the
levying of an additional tax to repay them.
Other Funding Sources. The RRFA continuously explores external sources
available to fund capital projects such as grant opportunities.
5.3 ASSUMPTIONS
The RRFA revenue analysis is based on the following assumptions:
Analysis Boundary. The analysis includes the current RRFA boundary as shown
in Exhibit 1-1.
Growth. Growth targets were provided by the City staff and reflect projections
as of August 2023.
Property Tax. This analysis assumes that the property tax levy rate will reset to
Back to Top
AGENDA ITEM #6. e)
Capital Facilities Plan 27
$1 per thousand in 2024 with the successful passing of Proposition 1 in August
of 2023. Property tax revenues will increase at an annual rate of 1% going
forward, with the assessed value and new construction growing according to
the July 2023 King County Economic and Revenue Forecast – Office of Economic
and Financial Analysis.
Fire Benefit Charge. In 2021, the voters approved a ten-year renewal of the fire
benefit charge with a vote of nearly 82% in favor of the proposition. By law, the
fire benefit charge may be used for up to 60% of the RRFA operating budget. In
2023, the fire benefit makes up approximately 35% of the RRFA’s total budget.
With the passing of Proposition 1 (see above), the RRFA intends to lower the
fire benefit charge by as much as 50% and is estimating that the benefit charge
will account for approximately 17% of the 2024 operating budget.
Fire Impact Fees. This analysis assumes the City will adopt the 2024 fire impact
fees proposed by the RRFA and will remit fees collected to the RRFA as outlined
in the interlocal agreement between the City and the RRFA. Projected
residential and commercial impact fee revenues are based on residential and
nonresidential growth projections provided by City staff.
Fire District 40 Service Contract. RRFA and KCFD40 entered into a twenty-year
agreement in 2022 and maintains a collaborative relationship with the
governance board for the district. This analysis assumes that from 2024 forward,
the service contract grows annually at a rate relative to the costs of operating
the RRFA.
EMS Levy. This analysis assumes revenues from the EMS levy continue to
increase at an annual growth rate of 3%.
Permits and Fees. This analysis assumes revenues from miscellaneous permits
and fees will remain at now current rates.
EMS Services. This analysis assumes revenues from EMS services will increase
at a rate of 5% per year and Ground Emergency Medical Transport (GEMT)
revenues will remain level. GEMT funding is at the discretion of the federal
government and the program could be modified or cancelled at any time.
5.4 FIRE IMPACT FEES
The City has collected fire impact fees since 2011. In 2023, the debt service on Fire Station 13
was paid in full and the City now remits fire impact fees to the RRFA on a monthly basis. Impact
fees collected through 2023 will be used for capital facility needs identified in the 2017 RRFA CFP.
Fees collected beginning in 2024 will be used for capital facility needs identified in this CFP. The
RRFA projects fire impact fees of $5,074,209 for the years 2024 through 2029. Exhibit 5-1
compares the projected fire impact fee revenue to the projected growth-related project costs, as
presented in Exhibit 4-1 and Exhibit 4-2.

MEMORANDUM
Date: September 23, 2022 TG:1.22123.00
To: Paul Hintz, City of Renton
From: Jon Pascal, PE, Transpo Group
Brent Turley, PE, Transpo Group
cc: Brianne Bannwarth, PE, City of Renton
Subject: Transportation Impact Fee Update - Industrial Land Uses
The purpose of this memorandum is to document proposed updates to the City of Renton
Transportation Impact Fee (TIF) methodology. The updates serve to assist the City in considering
appropriate changes to the TIF methodology to better reflect the impacts of industrial land uses on
the transportation system. The information presented will allow the City to utilize an updated TIF
rate schedule based on the estimated truck activity for specific industrial land uses.
Overview of the Existing TIF Methodology
The methodology for the Renton TIF is documented in Council Resolution 4299 in the Rate Study
for Impact Fees for Transportation (Henderson, Young, & Company, July 5, 2016). The overall
methodology remains unchanged from this document except for the additional adjustments to the
rate schedule for industrial land uses.
As explained in the 2016 Rate Study for Impact Fees for Transportation, the transportation impact
fees are calculated by the estimated number of new person trip ends that are created by the
proposed land use. Person trip ends are used instead of vehicle trip ends because it better aligns
with the mitigation fees that are for bicycle and pedestrian facilities that also use person trips. The
number of net new total PM peak hour person trips in the City divided by the total TIF eligible
projects costs were used to calculate a $7,145.85 PM peak hour base fee.
The cost per PM peak hour trip fee is utilized to calculate a fee rate for each category of land use.
The existing rate schedule was developed for commonly used land use categories to assist the
City in the development review process and determination of the resulting impact fee. The process
to develop impact fees by land use required converting vehicle trip generation rates from national
sources into person trip rates to align with the multimodal goals of the City. The conversion
process from vehicle trips to person trips utilized the following steps (see Appendix A in 2016 Rate
Study for Impact Fees for Transportation):
1. Original vehicle trip rates were assembled from national source (latest ITE Trip Generation
manual).
2. This “vehicle trip rate” is multiplied by 1.353 average vehicle occupancy and divided by
vehicle model share of 74.2% to create a “person trip rate.” This person trip reflects all
modes of travel.
3. A pass-by reduction factor is then applied depending on the land use. A “pass-by” trip
reflects that certain land uses do not create new overall trips, but divert an existing trip
already on the network (e.g. getting coffee on the way to work at a new coffee shop).
4. A final conversion factor is applied (83.3%) to reduce the trip rate to reflect only person
trips using vehicles.
AGENDA ITEM #6. e)

Updated TIF Methodology for Industrial Land Uses
The following sections summarize the proposed updates to the TIF methodology to better account
for the proportionate impacts of industrial land uses related to increased truck activity.
Additional Industrial Land Uses
The list of land uses and trip generation rates in the 2016 Rate Study for Impact Fees for
Transportation (Table 9) included only three industrial land uses; General Light Industrial,
Manufacturing, and Mini-Warehouse (Self-Storage). It is proposed that the list of land uses and trip
generation rates be expanded to include additional industrial land use types. The expanded list of
land use categories is based upon the land use definitions and rates identified in the ITE Trip
Generation manual (11th Edition, 2021). The following new land uses are proposed to be added to
the City’s rate schedule:
· #130 Industrial Park
· #150 Warehousing
· #154 High-Cube Warehouse: Transload/Short-Term
· #155 High-Cube Warehouse: Fulfillment Center (NS)
· #156 High-Cube Warehouse: Parcel Hub
· #157 High-Cube Warehouse: Cold Storage
The High-Cube Warehouse land use is relatively new and reflects the change in local and regional
freight distribution and delivery services due to the rapid, recent growth in e-commerce over the
last few years. The High-Cube Warehouse land use is broken into four categories to represent
different facilities at different stages of the product delivery process.
Updated Vehicle Trips Rates
As part of the update process, the trip rate for Manufacturing was updated to reflect the ITE Trip
Generation 11th Edition. This was a slight increase from 0.73 to 0.74 trips per 1,000 square feet of
building space. The added land uses mentioned above also have trip rates that reflect the ITE Trip
Generation 11th Edition.
Quantifying Truck Impacts on the Transportation Network
In urban settings such as the City of Renton, industrial land uses typically comprise a portion of
the available commercially zoned land. Due to the nature of the businesses, the industrial land
uses can generate a large number of daily truck trips. Analysis has shown that large trucks have
higher equivalent axle load impact on arterials than cars (up to 100-car equivalents). The higher
amount of truck trips in industrially zoned areas can have a significant impact on overall traffic
operations and the necessary pavement and base material depth of arterials, resulting in
increased capital costs.
Large tractor trailer trucks take the same physical space as up to four normal passenger cars in a
traffic queue. In addition, the slower acceleration and deceleration that is typical of large trucks
can adversely impact normal traffic operations. For example, a truck stopped at a traffic signal is
slow to accelerate and may take the same time to traverse a major intersection on a green light as
the time that 3 to 5 passenger cars would take for the same traffic movement.
The term “Passenger-Car Equivalents” (PCE) is used in traffic engineering to better reflect traffic
operations with trucks present. For larger tractor trailer trucks, a PCE of 4 is typically used. For
example, if 10 trucks per hour are making a left-turn at an intersection, then a PCE volume would
be 40 vehicles per hour. For purposes of the TIF methodology, each truck is considered as a four-
passenger-car equivalent.
AGENDA ITEM #6. e)

Truck Adjustment Factor
The PCE ratios were used to update the Impact Fee Rate Schedule to better reflect truck activity
for each industrial land use. No truck factors were applied to other land uses. The ITE Trip
Generation 11th Edition now includes trip generation rates for trucks for certain land uses,
including industrial land uses. By comparing truck trip generation rates and total vehicle trip
generation rates, a typical truck percentage was determined by land use.
As shown in Table 1, the truck percentages ranged from 5 to 25 percent per land use category.
Using the identified truck percentages, and a PCE factor of 4, a Truck Percent Factor was
calculated to increase trip rates to reflect PCE vehicle trip ends by each industrial land use
category. Table 1 summarizes the Truck Percent Factors and the resulting PCE Vehicle Trip Ends.

157 High-Cube Warehouse: Cold Storage 0.12 25% 1.75 0.21
Source: Transpo Group, 2022
1. Vehicle trip ends updated to reflect latest editions of the ITE Trip Generation manual (11th Edition, 2021). This is the number of vehicle
trips generated during the PM peak hour per 1,000 square feet of building area.
2. Percent trucks reflects the how many trucks are anticipated within the total trips generated by the land use. Values shown are based on
the truck trip generation factors provided in ITE Trip Generation (11th Edition, 2021)
3. Truck Percent Factor is a factor that is used to convert vehicle trip ends to passenger-car equivalent trip ends. This factor incorporates
both the percent trucks information and a 4:1 passenger-car to truck ratio.
4. PCE Vehicle Trip Ends reflects the passenger-car equivalent trip ends. This is calculated by multiplying the truck percent factor by the
vehicle trip ends rate.
While some land uses such as Warehousing had a higher truck percentage at 17 percent, the
actual PCE vehicle trip ends are lower than uses such as Manufacturing or High-Cube
Warehouse: Parcel Hub which generate a higher rate of vehicles per 1,000 square feet of building
area. The updates to focus on in Table 1 are the updated PCE vehicle trip ends compared to
existing vehicle trips ends.
Updated Impact Fee Rate Schedule
The following summarizes how the PCE vehicle trip ends are utilized in updating the impact fee
rate schedule for each of the industrial land uses. The rate schedule that includes the PCE factor
is also compared to a rate schedule without the factor to understand how the updated
methodology captures more of the infrastructure costs to serve land uses that have a higher
amount of truck trips.
New Vehicle Impact Fee Rates
Table 2 summarizes the new Vehicle Impact Fee Rates based on incorporating the PCE Vehicle
Trip Ends from Table 1 (both new ITE rates and truck adjustment factors). The conversion of
vehicle trip ends, to person trip ends, to vehicle new person trip ends, to vehicle impact fee rates is
consistent with the methodology documented in the 2016 Rate Study for Impact Fees for
Transportation.

1. See Table 1 for passenger-car equivalent trip end calculations
2. Person trip ends reflects a conversion of vehicle trips to person trips using AVO of 1.353 and 74.2% mode share.
3. Vehicle New Person Trip Ends applies a 83.3% factor to convert total person trips into person trips using vehicles.
4. Vehicle impact fee rates reflect the cost per square feet by using the $7145.85 per trip fee.
Applicants for building permits who propose development in any of the industrial land use
categories in Table 2 can calculate the total transportation impact fee as follows:
1. Select the appropriate land use category from Table 2, and find the impact fee rate per
unit in the far right column.
2. Determine the amount of square feet of development the applicant proposes to build.
3. Multiply the impact free rate by the square footage amount to be built. The result is the
total impact fee to be paid to the City.
Comparison of Vehicle Impact Fees With and Without Truck Adjustment Factor
To understand how the updated rate schedule for industrial land uses would compare to a rate
schedule without the truck adjustment factor, a comparison table has been prepared. Table 3
compares the updated Vehicle Impact Fee Rate with and without the Truck Adjustment Factor
methodology. The “without condition” still uses the updated ITE Trip Generation rates from the
11th Edition for a better comparison. As shown in Table 3, the Truck Adjustment Factor increased
the Vehicle Impact Fee Rate about 15 to 78 percent than the default trip generation rate and fee.

Inc. for the Park Avenue North Extension project
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Refer to Transportation (Aviation) Committee
DEPARTMENT: Public Works Transportation Systems Division
STAFF CONTACT:Bob Hanson, Transportation Design Manager
EXT.:7223
FISCAL IMPACT SUMMARY:
The fiscal impact of Change Order No. 7 to CAG-22-265 with Olson Brothers Excavating, Inc. for the Park
Avenue North Extension Project. is $245,285.81 and will be paid from the Park Avenue North Extension
Project fund (317.122190.015.595.30.63.001). The project has a current unencumbered balance of
$448,344.81 and there are adequate funds to pay the cost of this Change Order.
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
To accommodate development in the south shore area of Lake Washington in North Renton this project will
extend Park Avenue North to provide access to Southport and The Boeing Company. This extension will
provide alternative routes and improve circulation to the Landing and the Southport residential/office
development. The extension of Park Avenue N will have sidewalks on both sides and a new grade crossing of
the BNSF railroad. A new water main will be constructed, and storm drainage installed as part of the project.
Change Order No.7 modified the drainage system to avoid a Puget Sound Energy (PSE) gas line conflict that
could not be relocated in a timely matter. PSE provided an estimate of 9 months to relocate the gas line and
rather than wait potentially months for PSE to relocate the gas line and incur costly delays to the project, staff
determined a redesign of the drainage system around the PSE line would incur additional cost yet keep the
project on a scheduled completion date of Spring 2024.

SUBJECT/TITLE:Amendment No. 9 to CAG-17-050 with RH2 Engineering, Inc. for the
Lift Station, and Force Main Rehabilitation Project
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Refer to Utilities Committee
DEPARTMENT: Public Works Utility Systems Division
STAFF CONTACT:Joe Stowell, Wastewater Utility Engineering Manager
EXT.:7212
FISCAL IMPACT SUMMARY:
Funding for Amendment No. 9 to CAG-17-050 with RH2 Engineering, Inc. for $241,120 is available from the
approved 2023-2024 Wastewater Capital Improvement Program Lift Station and Force Main Rehabilitation
project budgets (426.465508 and 426.465516). There is sufficient unencumbered funding remaining in the
budget ($2,437,446) to fund this amendment.
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
In 2017, Public Works initiated a project to upgrade and rehabilitate 19 of the 20 sewer lift stations and
related force mains that move sewage through the city to the King County Wastewater Treatment Facility. To
date, the wastewater utility has rehabilitated 9 lift stations and related force mains. Phase 3 will rehabilitate 9
more lift stations. The following is a representative list of work that will occur as part of this phase:
Pump replacements.
Structural repairs.
Installation of force main clean-outs.
Upgrade station controls and Telemetry.
Design and construction work was originally separated into two groups based on the priority of the lift station.
Due to funding and the need for easement acquisition, the groups have been further divided into the
following phases:
Phase 1 - completed in 2020
o Airport, East Valley, Lind, Misty, Pipers Bluff, Shy Creek, Stonegate
Phase 2 - completed in 2023
o East Valley generator, Baxter, Devil’s Elbow
Phase 3 - construction contract awarded
o Cottonwood, Kensington, Lake Washington Beach, Lake Washington No2, Liberty, Long, Talbot
Crest, Wedgewood, Westview
Phase 4 - in design
o Generators for Kensington Crest and Wedgewood Lift Stations
Phase 5 - future project
o Installation of remaining generators
The proposed amendment with RH2 Engineering will allow for additional Services During Construction (SDC)
for the Phase 3 project Awarded by Council October 2, 2023. Work is anticipated to take approximately one
year.
AGENDA ITEM #6. h)
The Addendum 9 scope of work includes the following tasks:
1. Review shop drawings and submittals for the phase 3 construction.
2. Provide part time observation.
3. Develop and integrate software for the upgraded telemetry.
4. Inspecting and testing new telemetry panels at supplier prior to delivery and installation.
5. Assist with lift station testing and startup of the new equipment.
6. Arc flash analysis of the stations having electrical work performed. After major changes to an electrical
system, an analysis is necessary to recommend additional safety measures, including personal
protective equipment (PPE), for those working on the modified system.
This amendment will provide the necessary support to complete construction and verify the work was
completed properly.

PROMULGATION DOCUMENT
It is the policy of the City of Renton to provide the emergency organization and resources to
minimize the effects of incidents; prepare to respond to disaster situations; maximize
population survival; preserve property; and recovery that will ensure the orderly and fast return
to normal community life in the City of Renton in the event of a natural or technological
disaster.
The City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) has been developed
to establish the special policies, guidelines, and procedures that will provide response
personnel with the information and guidance required to function quickly and effectively in a
disaster situation. It is a goal of this plan to help develop city, business, and resident self-
sufficiency for a minimum of 72 hours after a disaster. This plan supersedes all previous
versions of the Renton CEMP.
It should be understood that emergencies and disasters are dynamic events that require
flexibility and the ability to solve challenges that are presented. Circumstances may dictate
deviation from this plan in order to have the best possible response. This plan may be
supplemented by the King County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan, the Puget
Sound Regional Catastrophic Disaster Coordination Plan and Annexes, the Washington State
Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan, and other applicable plans.
All city departments are directed to take appropriate actions to implement this plan and to
maintain the necessary capabilities to respond effectively to emergencies and disasters. All
non-city entities involved in the plan are requested to cooperate with the city in order to
coordinate the total disaster response within the community.

BASIC PLAN
Introduction
Purpose
In order to protect life, property, and the environment within the City of Renton, city
government shall respond to natural and human-caused disasters and shall take appropriate
actions to mitigate against, prepare for, respond to, and recover from the effects of such
events.
For the purpose of this plan, an emergency is defined as any event, natural or human-caused,
that exceeds the capability of one or more city departments to manage their response
effectively.
The Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan is an all-hazards plan describing how
the City of Renton will prepare for, prevent, mitigate, respond to, and recover from any
emergency that could adversely impact the lives, property, and environment of the city’s
residents and visitors. Maintaining the CEMP may adequately address the city’s current
resources and capabilities to respond to any emergency.
The CEMP includes the Basic Plan, Emergency Support Function (ESF) plans, and hazard specific
annexes. The following documents comprise the CEMP and describe how city departments
coordinate emergency management related actions, resources, and activities with other
federal, state, county, regional, private-sector, and nongovernmental organizations. The city
has institutionalized the use of the Incident Command System (ICS) principles to ensure that all
lead and support agencies are assigned appropriate roles and responsibilities as per the
National Incident Management System (NIMS).
This plan is designed to provide an overview of how to implement emergency management
details and responsibilities in relation to federal and state laws, rules, and regulations as
described in Washington Administrative Code 118-30 and Revised Code of Washington Chapter
38.52.
The desired outcome of following the plan is for the city to be sufficiently prepared for
emergencies so that when an incident occurs the response is efficient and effective to protect,
life, property, the environment, and economy. Much of the focus of this plan is to restore
essential services and the processes and resources which will support that end state goal. The
result in recovery would be a resilient community that is able to restore social routines and
adjust to the new normal of post-disaster life.
Scope
The CEMP establishes a mutual understanding of authority, responsibilities, and functions of
local government and proves a basis for incorporating essential non-governmental agencies and
organizations into the emergency management organization. All directions contained in this
Plan are activated accordingly to apply to preparedness and emergency activities undertaken
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 11
by the City of Renton and supporting organizations required to minimize the effects of
emergency events and facilitate recovery activities.
The CEMP identifies Emergency Support Functions as areas that are federally defined as
essential emergency functions which a municipality must carry out to efficiently respond to a
disaster. These ESFs are necessary regardless of the disaster scenario. All supporting
organizations listed in the CEMP have been made aware of their responsibilities as outlined in
the plan and have been provided with an opportunity to provide input to the review and
revision process. Their feedback has been incorporated into the plan.
The CEMP considers the emergencies and disasters that are likely to occur within the City of
Renton that have been identified in the Renton Hazard Mitigation Plan, and long-term recovery
activities identified in the Recovery Framework, formerly ESF 14. This plan follows federal
guidance and supporting plans, including the National Prevention, Protection, Mitigation,
Response, and Disaster Recovery Frameworks, as well as FEMA’s National Incident
Management System (NIMS) and Comprehensive Planning Guide 101v2. The CEMP applies
within the City of Renton municipal boundaries and supports and is compatible with the State
of Washington, King County, and surrounding jurisdictional plans.
Situation Overview
Hazard Assessment Summary
Through hazard and vulnerability identification, risk ranking, and risk assessment,
Renton city officials have identified the primary hazards that could potentially impact
the city. The assessments have determined that the City of Renton is vulnerable to
numerous natural, technological, and human-caused hazards. In addition to these
hazards, the potential exists for emergencies to occur outside of the jurisdiction with
negative impacts to the City of Renton. The potential effects of these hazards could
disrupt public services, damage property, and cause injury or death of persons within
affected areas.
The relative probability, risk, vulnerability, and impact of the Regional Risk and
Probability Summary are detailed in the King County Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan
and the City of Renton Annex. Hazards addressed in the Renton Annex include dam
failure, earthquake, flood, landslide, sinkholes and ground subsidence, severe weather,
severe winter weather, volcano, and wildfire. Additionally, the city is subject to major
transportation disruptions and accidents, utility and infrastructure failures or collapses,
public health emergencies, cyber incidents, hazardous materials releases, acts of
terrorism or civil disturbance and mass casualty incidents from any cause.
The City of Renton participates in a regional capability assessment led by King County.
The capabilities of the City of Renton specifically are addressed within each ESF. Each
discipline has access to a limited number of resources, which are adequate in normal
circumstances but can quickly become overwhelmed in a disaster or emergency.
Therefore, the City of Renton relies upon mutual aid and other external resources to fill
resource gaps. All personnel are trained in the NIMS ICS system and technical details of
executing their department and division responsibilities. Additionally, the city has the
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 12
capability to mobilize trained and emergent volunteers to assist with disaster response
and recovery efforts.
Planning Assumptions
The information and procedures included in this plan have been prepared utilizing the best
information and planning assumptions available at the time of preparation. As the true extent
of the impacts of a disaster cannot be known before it occurs, the city can only endeavor to
make every reasonable effort to respond based on the situation, information, and resources
available at the time. The final outcome of an emergency may be different than the expected
outcome based on these assumptions (or others).
It is assumed that any situation could create significant loss of life, injury, property damage, or
cause disruption of essential services in the City of Renton. These situations may also create
significant financial, psychological, and sociological impacts on the residents of the community
and the city governmental organization.
It is reasonable to assume that with impending incidents such as storms and floods, warnings
will be issued to enable some preparation prior to the event. Other emergencies will come with
no advance warning.
In the event of a severe disaster situation, there will not likely be any significant assistance from
nearby communities, counties, or State and Federal agencies for two weeks or longer. In this
situation, the city will need to rely on any available city resources and those of private
organizations, businesses, and residents within the city for initial response operations.
CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
General
The concept of operations provides an overview of the emergency management structure and
procedures for the City of Renton to respond to an emergency or disaster situation. The
primary intent of Renton leadership is the protection of life, property, the environment, and the
economy. As such the emergency management objectives of the CEMP are to:
1. Protect the health and safety of resident and visitors affected by emergencies.
2. Contain and stabilize the emergency.
3. Minimize damage to City of Renton property, facilities, the environment, and the
economy.
4. Minimize disruption to the City of Renton operations.
5. Resume normal City of Renton activities and operations in a timely manner.
Whole Community Involvement
The “Whole Community” includes individuals, families, households, communities, and private
and non-profit sectors, faith-based organizations, and local, tribal, state, and federal
governments. The “whole community” is defined in the National Preparedness Goal as follows:
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 13
“[A] focus on enabling the participation in national preparedness activities of
a wider range of players from the private and nonprofit sectors, including
nongovernmental organizations and the general public, in conjunction with
the participation of Federal, state, and local governmental partners in order
to foster better coordination and working relationships.”
The “whole community” approach refers to a strategy where residents, community leaders, and
government officials assess the unique needs of each community and work together to
organize and strengthen their assets, capacities, and interests. This non-discriminatory
approach requires engagement with public, private, and non-profit partners. This includes
people, businesses, faith-based and disability organizations, and the general public, including
individuals who are covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), people with Access
and Functional Needs (AFN), people with Limited English Proficiency (LEP), and culturally
diverse populations. Hereafter, every Emergency Support Function (ESF) annex will include a
Whole Community statement.
Access and Functional Needs (AFN) refers to those who may have additional needs before,
during, or after an incident including the general encompassing populations: individuals who
have disabilities, those who live in retirement or assisted living facilities, elderly populations,
children, those from lower socio-economic classes, those who are transportation
disadvantaged, and Limited English Proficiency (LEP) communities. The city recognizes that
these populations require ongoing support, special considerations, and accommodations as
they may be more vulnerable during and after an emergency or disaster. Children in a disaster
may have limited understanding of circumstances, may be more emotionally distressed, and
require supervision and additional assistance due to their limited capabilities.
Supporting individuals with LEP may require providing language assistance services, including
oral interpretation and written translation services. The RCW 38.52.070 requires emergency
communications to be translated into languages spoken by “significant populations”
(populations that exceed 1,000 people or 5% of the jurisdiction’s population based on data
from the Office of Financial Management). The City of Renton will strive to work with LEP
populations to identify resources and strategies to ensure they are able to fully benefit from
emergency preparedness, response, mitigation, and recovery efforts. This is more fully
addressed in the City of Renton Annex to the King County Inclusive Emergency Communication
Plan.
The Pets Evacuation and Transportation Standards (PETS) Act amends the Robert T. Stafford
Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act to ensure state and local emergency
preparedness operational plans address the needs of individuals with household pets and
service animals following a major emergency or disaster. ESF 6 – Mass Care, Emergency
Assistance, Temporary Housing, and Human Services, and ESF 11 – Agriculture and Natural
Resources, address pets, service animals, and livestock.
City leadership will strive and intend to make every reasonable effort to provide that their
actions are compliant with applicable laws related to accessibility, including the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA). Persons with access and functional needs should receive the same
standard of services and care as the rest of the population. No services or assistance will be
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 14
denied or withheld on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, economic status,
age, disability, or Limited English Proficiency (LEP).
Operational Objectives
Operational objectives are based on the following priorities: life safety, incident stabilization,
protection of property, protection of the environment, and protection of the economy when
possible.
NIMS Component to Achieve Priorities
Incident management priorities include saving lives, stabilizing the incident, and
protecting property and the environment. To achieve these priorities, incident
personnel apply and implement NIMS components in accordance with the principles of
flexibility, standardization, and unity of effort.
Flexibility – allows NIMS to be scalable and therefore applicable for incidents that vary
widely in terms of hazard, geography, demographics, climate, cultural, and
organizational authorities.
Standardization – defines standard organizational structures that improve integration
and connectivity among jurisdictions and organizations, defines standard practices that
allow incident personnel to work together effectively and foster cohesion among the
various organizations involved, and includes common terminology to enable effective
communication.
Unity of Effort – coordinating activities among various organizations to achieve common
objectives. Unity of effort enables organizations with specific jurisdictional
responsibilities to support each other while maintaining their own authorities.
Integration - The National Incident Management System (NIMS) is part of the National
Response Framework (NRF) that establishes a standardized incident response. NIMS
provides a systematic, proactive approach to guide departments and agencies at all
levels of government to work seamlessly to prevent, protect against, respond to,
recover from, and mitigate the effects of incidents.
In order to be compliant with the National Incident Management System, the City of
Renton uses the Incident Command System (ICS) to respond to incidents. ICS is a
standardized all-hazards incident management approach that is flexible to the size and
demands of the incident.
Request for an Emergency Proclamation
A proclamation of local emergency is made by the mayor and is the legal method that
authorizes the use of extraordinary measures to accomplish tasks associated with
responding to an incident. An emergency proclamation can suspend normal operating
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 15
rules, e.g., waive competitive bidding requirements during the initial emergency (RCW
39.04.280). The Renton City Council is advised of the proclamation as soon as practical.
Any contract awarded to address the emergency situation in lieu of competitive bidding
shall require a written finding by the city council or its designee of the existence of an
emergency to be duly entered of record no later than two weeks following the award of
the contract. The proclamation authorizes the city to take necessary measures to
respond to an incident in order to protect lives, property, the environment, and the
economy and exercise the powers vested in RCW 38.52.070.
In the event of an emergency, or imminent threat thereof, the mayor has the authority to
proclaim an emergency. Additional details of the city’s Emergency Proclamation Process can be
found in the Emergency Operations Center Procedures Plan.
The EOC Duty Officer, EOC Director, or their designee is responsible for working with the city
attorney to prepare an emergency proclamation. Once signed, the EOC Duty Officer/EOC
Director is responsible for the notification of appropriate county, state, and federal agencies
following the proclamation. Requests to the Governor to proclaim a State of Emergency are
made by the mayor through the King County Emergency Operations Center (KCEOC).
Proclamation by the Governor is necessary to pursue a Presidential Disaster Declaration and
federal disaster relief funds.

responsibilities, resource management, mutual aid agreements, and memoranda of
agreement or understanding.
Horizontal Integration
This plan is one of a family of emergency plans created by the City of Renton to provide
the policy framework by which other emergency plans are guided. This plan provides
the City of Renton guidance in preparing for, responding to, and recovering from an
incident. It discusses guidelines on how city departments organize, direct, control, and
coordinate their actions to continue essential functions during incidents. The Plan may
also provide guidance and assistance in decision-making.
Vertical Integration
The Plan uses the Incident Command System (ICS), a federally mandated command and
control structure implemented during an incident. The Plan is compliant with FEMA’s
Comprehensive Preparedness Guide for uniformity with local and federal government
and the National Response Framework.
Preparedness Mission
Preparedness actions develop operational capabilities in advance of an emergency or incident
in order to mitigate or prevent an imminent or actual incident and to protect residents, visitors,
business owners, assets, systems, and networks against the greatest threats and hazards.
The Renton CEMP addresses all hazards planning to guide actions before, during, and after a
disaster regardless of the hazard type. It defines who does what, when, and where in order to
mitigate, prepare for, respond to, and recovery from the effects of natural, technological, and
human-caused hazards or threats.
Mitigation Mission
Mitigation actions reduce or eliminate long-term risk to people, property, the environment, and
the economy from natural and technological hazards. The City of Renton Annex to the King
County Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan considers the impact of hazards in the region and
identifies hazard mitigation goals, objectives, and actions to reduce injury and damage from
hazards. The City of Renton may also participate in the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) Hazard Mitigation Grant Program which provides funding to state, local, tribal,
and territorial governments so they can develop hazard mitigation plans and rebuild in a way
that reduces or mitigates future disaster losses in their communities.
Response Mission
The response mission emphasizes saving and sustaining lives, stabilizing the incident, rapidly
meeting basic human needs, restoring basic services and technologies, restoring community
functionality, providing universal accessibility, establishing a safe and secure environment, and
supporting the transition to recovery. The ESF and additional annexes to this plan identify
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 19
primary and support agency response activities which may include actions such as activation of
the Renton Emergency Operations Center (EOC) for coordination and information sharing.
Recovery Mission
Recovery includes those capabilities necessary to assist communities affected by an incident to
recover effectively. Support for recovery ensures a continuum of care for individuals to
maintain and restore health, safety, and resiliency, with a focus on those who experience
financial, emotional, and physical hardships. Recovery capabilities support the well-
coordinated, transparent, and timely restoration, strengthening, and revitalization of
infrastructure and housing; an economic base; health and social systems; and a revitalized
cultural, historical, and environmental fabric. The City of Renton Disaster Recovery Framework
addresses the recovery process and responsible agencies associated with essential services
needed in disaster recovery.
ORGANIZATION
General
The City of Renton employs a director and two emergency management coordinators to
execute emergency management activities. Housed within the Executive Services Department,
Emergency Management coordinates the implementation of emergency planning, training,
exercise, outreach and education, and operational readiness for the city.
Disaster and Emergencies
The Director of Emergency Management coordinates the incident management activities
through the Renton Emergency Operations Center (EOC) as the EOC Director. The Renton EOC
is comprised of trained representatives from various city departments and responding partner
agencies to fulfill the ICS positions pictured below.

Planning Section
This section is responsible for the collection, evaluation and dissemination of
information related to the incident or emergency and for the preparation and
documentation of EOC Action Plans and Situation Reports. This section also maintains
information on the current and forecasted situation related to the emergency.
This section is headed by the Planning Section Chief, who reports to the EOC Director.
Information collected is incorporated into organized Situation Reports, which are then
distributed to recipients within and outside the EOC. The message controller monitors
all information-sharing and sends key information to the display processors for posting
on the whiteboards. Information within the EOC may also be shared through overhead
projected display, web-based data displays, or oral briefings. The Documentation Unit
maintains incident documentation for the entire EOC.
The Check-in Recorder in the Resources Unit oversees the check-in/check-out and
assignment of EOC staff. The Planning Section also engages technical specialists such as
mapping, hydrology, weather, and hazmat experts to provide specialized information to
assist in incident planning. They work with the Operations Section to advise on
upcoming issues and develop a plan for resolving them. When ready, the Demobilization
Unit coordinates the de-escalation of the EOC response.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 21
Logistics Section
This section is responsible for providing service, support, supplies, equipment,
personnel, and other resources.
This section is headed by the Logistics Section Chief, who reports to the EOC Director.
The Logistics Section handles food service, EOC security, technical assistance with
phones and computers, communications, and other general support functions within
the facility. Within the Supply Unit, staff handle both internal and external resource
requests. They identify needed resources and work with Finance and Administration to
procure them. If local resources are exhausted, resource requests are forwarded to the
King County EOC after EOC Director approval. The Logistics Section may also help with
volunteer and donations management coordination.
The Communications Unit may establish, and document communication systems used
during response and relays incident information within the EOC using call-takers,
amateur radio operators, and message distributors.
Finance/Administration
This section is responsible for monitoring costs, procurements, contracts, and other
financial considerations.
This section is co-located with the Logistics Section. It is headed by the Finance and
Administration Section Chief, who reports to the EOC Director. Staffed by
representatives from the City of Renton’s Finance and Human Resources and Risk
Management departments, the Finance and Administration Section issues checks and
purchase orders and expends public funds to secure emergency resources located by
the Logistics Section. They track impact of the disaster by documenting damage
assessment and personnel costs, as well as injuries or damage to city personnel or
equipment, or even claims against the city by outside agencies or individuals.
Coordination
The purpose of this section is to establish procedures to be followed when an incident occurs
within the City of Renton that necessitates the activation of the EOC. The organization of the
EOC and the degree of activation will depend upon the severity and nature of the emergency
and anticipated requirements for support.
The purpose of the EOC is to provide centralized coordination for the community in the event
of a disaster, large-scale emergency, or regional event that could overwhelm emergency
resources. Specifically, the EOC is primarily involved with:
• Collection and documentation of event information-Situational
Awareness/Common Operating Picture (critical infrastructure surveys, information
about major incidents, casualties, shelters, damage assessments, response readiness
by city assets)
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 22
• Processing and distribution of event information (situation reports to city officials,
the King County EOC, neighboring jurisdictions, other emergency services,
information releases to the media and public)
• Coordination of resource support (locate and procure resources as requested by
Incident Command, including requesting items or support from the county or state as
needed, prioritize, and allocate scarce resources according to policy direction)
• Technical information gathering and support (forecast flood mapping, HAZUS
modeling, incident mapping, etc.)
• Operations representatives for field operations (collection of event information
from various departments with field operations)
Incident Command may choose to delegate extended functions to EOC staff, but staff in the
EOC do not normally make operational decisions regarding management of the incident.
Rather, they coordinate with, and support Incident Command as requested.
EOC Coordination
Although field Incident Command controls on-scene activities related to the disaster, the
Renton EOC coordinates the overall city response to the disaster, which includes
obtaining an emergency proclamation from the mayor and requesting additional local,
state, and Federal aid to respond to the disaster. Coordination will generally be through
the following means:
Identification of a lead city department based on the nature of the disaster. The
lead city department will provide an Incident Commander to the field Incident
Management System, and a qualified representative to the Renton EOC.
Coordination of multiple agencies and the resources required to accomplish
targeted goals.
Effective public information.
Procurement of technical expertise to assist in the disaster response and
coordination.
Provision of financial and administrative resources and support to accomplish
the goals of the developed strategy.
Emergency Support Function Matrix
This Plan, with the ESF annexes that follow, assigns response and preparedness roles and
responsibilities for city departments. Each department’s role is identified with the
understanding that roles may change depending on the situation.
Primary agencies have significant authorities, roles, resources, and capabilities for a particular
function with a capability. Support agencies have specific capabilities or resources that support
primary agencies in executive capabilities and other missions. This matrix identifies the
Emergency Support Function (ESF) and the corresponding primary agency. Corresponding
support agencies can be found within each ESF.

RESPONSIBILITIES
This plan assigns responsibilities to city departments related to preparedness, response,
mitigation, continuity, and recovery. These responsibilities may vary depending on the scope
and complexity of the situation. Departments are also responsible for complying with their
responsibilities as defined in current Mutual Aid Agreements (MAA), Memorandums of
Agreement (MOA), and Memorandums of Understanding (MOU).
Role and Responsibilities of Elected Officials
The city council’s overall role is to annually review policies and appropriate funds to allow the
Emergency Management Director and staff to plan and implement an emergency management
program.
During an incident, the council will be advised of the response and recovery plan by the mayor,
Incident Command department administrator or Renton Regional Fire Authority Chief, and/or
the Emergency Management Director and/or coordinator and will be asked to provide input for
the restoration of all city services. During an emergency, the mayor may authorize the
imposition of required emergency powers, such as evacuation orders and bans, and may
authorize necessary condemnations.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 24
Renton City Council may be presented with special legislation proposals to facilitate the disaster
response or recovery and may be asked for special budget allocations accordingly.
Role and Responsibilities of Policy Advisory Group
The Policy Advisory Group, led by the mayor, and consisting of department administrators, the
Communications Director, the Renton RFA Fire Chief, and others if so requested, will advise city
council of policy-level decisions that require their direction and emergency legislative or
budgetary actions, and will oversee the implementation of those decisions. The role of the
Policy Advisory Group is to stay current on the most recent incident information from the
Emergency Operations Center (EOC), inform one another of disaster conditions and
implications for each department, and make necessary policy decisions related to operational
challenges. Issues and conflicts that arise in an emergency should be handled at the lowest
appropriate level of the incident organization. The Policy Advisory Group refers appropriate
policy decisions to city council with recommendations for their action.
The Policy Advisory Group’s role is to:
Recommend necessary policy decisions that require resolution by a jurisdiction
executive head or legislative body, such as priorities for resource allocation;
management of jurisdiction resources; clarification of command authority;
suspension of functions; and programs of city government.
Provide guidance to incident managers and establish administrative objectives,
including communicating legal and policy restraints, limitations on authority,
political and social concerns, environmental issues, and cost considerations.
Provide guidance to Incident Commanders and PIOs regarding key messages to
integrate into the overall public message.
Propose emergency budget actions if required for response and recovery, evaluate,
and prioritize other department and city responses to balance them with future
project needs to ensure adequate funding is provided to the disaster response.
Recommend the discontinuation of non-essential government operations, to keep
employees off the roads and free up personnel and other resources for use in
disaster response.
Provide a liaison to local, state, and congressional elected officials during and after a
disaster to ensure appropriate assistance is brought to the local response effort and
coordinate contacts to collect damage estimates and response costs.
The Policy Advisory Group is initially assembled with full activation of the EOC or at the request
of any Policy Advisory Group member. The Policy Advisory Group will convene at the appointed
time at Renton City Hall 7th floor conferencing center, or other location deemed appropriate at
the time.

COMMUNICATIONS
The principles of communications and information management, which support incident
managers in maintaining a constant flow of information during an incident are (1)
interoperability; (2) reliability, scalability, and portability; (3) resilience and redundancy; and (4)
security. Information and intelligence management includes identifying Essential Elements of
Information (EEI) to ensure personnel gather the most accurate and appropriate data, translate
it into useful information, and communicate it with appropriate personnel. Each Emergency
Support Function (ESF) annex to this plan includes EEIs to support communication and
information management for incident response.
Interoperable Communications Plans
Federal
National Emergency Communications Plan (NECP)
The NECP is the Nation’s strategic plan for emergency communications that promotes
communication and sharing of information across all levels of government, jurisdictions,
disciplines, and organizations for all threats and hazards, as needed and when
authorized.
State
The Alert and Warning Center (AWC)
The AWC is a function of the State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC), which provides
24-hour, seven days a week coverage for notifications, alerts, and warnings of
emergency events and incidents affecting Washington State. The AWC provides
continuous situational monitoring during non-emergency periods as well as in times of
disaster and emergency. Federal, state, local and tribal officials are then responsible for
further dissemination or action as needed. The CEMNET (Comprehensive Emergency
Management Network) radio system is monitored by the state, and the City of Renton
has access to this radio network from the Renton EOC.
Information Management Systems
Washington State maintains information management systems, such as WebEOC, to
manage emergencies and support public safety information sharing. The system
provides the SEOC and local jurisdictions with a platform to receive, process, and
manage information. The system is used as a gateway to share information and provide
communications among county/city/EOCs, the SEOC, and state, federal, and local public
safety entities. This information sharing allows authorized users to make informed
decisions regarding public safety operations during disasters or emergencies and
supports statewide collaboration.

Both ESF 2 and ESF 15 have LEP/AFN communication needs that are addressed in the
IECP described below. The Renton Annex to the King County Integrated Emergency
Communications Plan describes how the City of Renton would communicate with these
populations and accommodate other languages in compliance with the law.
City of Renton Annex to the King County Inclusive Emergency Communication Plan
(IECP)
The city’s Inclusive Emergency Communications Plan (IECP) outlines the City of Renton’s
actions to safeguard all residents by making emergency communications accessible to
all, including residents with limited English proficiency (LEP) and those with other Access
and Functional Needs (AFN). In collaboration and coordination with other jurisdictions,
public agencies, and community partners, the City of Renton will convey critical life-
safety messages to all residents pursuant to RCW 38.52.070 inclusive emergency
communication requirements.
The city uses US Census Data to determine which LEP communities meet the statutory
threshold of 1,000 residents or five percent of the city’s population. Based on this data,
Renton translates public communications for Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese (both
Mandarin and Cantonese), Russian, and Ukrainian languages.
The city supports regional coordination of life-safety messaging by maintaining contact
information for Public Information Officers (PIOs) of neighboring jurisdictions, media
contacts, translation services, and regional partners including the Trusted Partner
Network; a group of volunteers who can assist in disseminating critical information to
Renton residents, including LEP communities and those with other access and functional
needs.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 30
It is understood that providing properly translated alerts and emergency information is
crucial for life safety to LEP communities, and every effort will be made to provide such
information in a timely manner.
The city is committed to improving emergency communications to the public post
incident. The effectiveness of communicating life safety information to the public will be
evaluated through the city’s After-Action Report process which includes gathering data
and notes from hot-washes, after-action meetings, and interviews.
In the last review period, there were no technological limitations experienced in the
issuance of emergency alerts that would affect the life and health safety of Limited
English Proficiency (LEP) or Access and Functional Needs (AFN) populations.
Communication Resources
The City of Renton operates with the following list of communication resources: 800 MHz radio
systems, VHF radios, CEMNET radio, amateur radios, weather radio (incoming only), landline
telephones, cellular telephones, satellite telephones, fax machines, e-mail, internet, AM/FM
radio (incoming only), television (incoming only), and social media.
Amateur Radio
During a disaster, or when normal communication methods are not in service, amateur
radio operators may be the most reliable form of communications. Amateur radio
equipment is located at Renton City Hall near the Police Watch Desk, at each fire
station, the Public Works Shops, in the City Hall 7th floor conference center storage
room, and the EOC. The city also has a Mobile Communications Response Unit (MCRU)
which can be deployed to set up emergency communications in the field or in support of
a backup EOC. In the event that all electronic communications are unavailable, a
messenger or runner shall deliver messages to the EOC.
The Renton Emergency Communication Service (RECS) is incorporated as a nonprofit
501(c)3 organization. They are a team of licensed amateur radio volunteers, established
for the purpose of providing emergency communications for the City of Renton and its
service area during events which overwhelm existing communications resources.
ADMINISTRATION
Documentation
The Governor, Washington Military Department, Emergency Management Division (EMD), and
other governmental officials require information concerning the nature, magnitude, and impact
of a disaster or emergency. This information allows for evaluating and providing the most
efficient and appropriate distribution of resources and services during the response to and
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 31
recovery from a disaster or emergency. State agencies, local jurisdictions, and other
organizations provide these reports, including but not limited to:
Situation reports
Requests for proclamations of emergency
Requests for assistance
Costs/expenditures reports
Damage assessment reports
After-Action Reports
Retention
Records will be kept in such a manner to separately identify incident-related expenditures and
obligations from general programs and activities of local jurisdictions or organizations.
Complete and accurate records are necessary to document requests for assistance, for
reimbursement under approved applications pertaining to declared emergencies or major
disasters, and for audit reports.
Preservation
Local government offices may coordinate the protection of their essential records with the
state archivist as necessary to provide continuity of government under emergency conditions
pursuant to RCW 40.10.010. It is the responsibility of each department to establish policies for
the identification, preservation, and retention of essential records.
FINANCE
Local
Local jurisdictions requesting assistance should assume the resources requested will need to be
paid out of local funding. Local jurisdictions may incur disaster-related obligations and
expenditures in accordance with the provisions of RCW 38.52.070(2), applicable state statutes,
and local codes, charters, and ordinances, which may include but are not limited to the
following:
Emergency expenditures for cities with populations less than 300,000 RCW 35.33.081.
Emergency expenditures for towns and cities with an ordinance providing for a biennial
budget. RCW 35.33.081.
Emergency expenditures for code cities. RCW 35A.33.080 and RCW 35A.34.140.
Emergency expenditures for counties. RCW 36.40.180.
Federal
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) requires that state and local governments
receiving federal financial assistance under the Stafford Act comply with FEMA’s rules
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 32
prohibiting discrimination, as provided in 44 Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) § 206.11. As a
result of this federal requirement, state and local governments seeking to receive federal
disaster assistance will follow a program of non-discrimination and incorporates FEMA’s Whole
Community approach. This requirement encompasses all state and local jurisdiction actions to
the Federal/State Agreement.
All personnel carrying out federal major disaster or emergency assistance functions, including
the distribution of supplies, the processing of applications, and other relief and assistance
activities, shall perform their work in an equitable and impartial manner, without discrimination
on the grounds of race, religion, sex, color, age, economic status, physical and sensory
limitations, Limited English Proficiency (LEP), or national origin.
As a condition of participation in the distribution of assistance or supplies under the Stafford
Act, government bodies and other organizations shall provide a written assurance of their
intent to comply with regulations relating to nondiscrimination promulgated by the President
or the administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and shall comply
with such other regulations applicable to activities within an area affected by a major disaster
or emergency as the administration of FEMA deems necessary for the effective coordination of
relief efforts.
The Pets Evacuation and Transportation Standards (PETS) Act amends the Robert T. Stafford
Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act. The PETS Act is operational when a federal
disaster declaration is made and can provide reimbursement for allowable, documented
services used in the declared emergency. Eligible costs related to pet evacuations and
sheltering are in FEMA’s Public Assistance Program and Policy Guide (PAPPG).
Incurred Costs
The Renton Finance Department will follow guidelines for the FEMA process for reimbursement
of disaster-related expenses and with the assistance of the Emergency Management Division of
the Executive Services Department, coordinate the reimbursement process with other
departments as needed.
Cost Recovery
Disaster-related expenditures and obligations of state agencies, local jurisdictions, and other
organizations may be reimbursed under a number of federal programs. The federal government
may authorize reimbursement of approved costs for work performed in the restoration of
certain public facilities after a major disaster declaration by the President of the United States
under the statutory authority of certain federal agencies.
Federal Assistance Programs
Public Assistance (PA) Program
FEMA's Public Assistance (PA) grant program provides federal assistance to government
organizations and certain private nonprofit (PNP) organizations following a Presidential
disaster declaration. PA provides grants to state, tribal, territorial, and local
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 33
governments, and certain types of PNP organizations so that communities can quickly
respond to and recover from major disasters or emergencies. Through the program,
FEMA provides supplemental federal disaster grant assistance for debris removal, life-
saving emergency protective measures, and the repair, replacement, or restoration of
disaster-damaged publicly owned facilities, and the facilities of certain PNP
organizations. The PA program also encourages the protection of these damaged
facilities from future events by providing assistance for hazard mitigation measures
during the recovery process. The federal share of assistance is not less than 75 percent
of the eligible cost. The Recipient (usually the state) determines how the non-federal
share (up to 25 percent) is split with the subrecipients (eligible applicants).
Individual Assistance Program
FEMA provides assistance to individuals and households through the Individual
Assistance Program, which includes all of the following:
Mass Care and Emergency Assistance (MC/EA)
Crisis Counseling Assistance and Training Program (CCP)
Disaster Unemployment Assistance (DUA)
Disaster Legal Services (DLS)
Disaster Case Management (DCM)
Individuals and Households Program (IHP). IHP is comprised of two categories of
assistance: Housing Assistance (HA) and Other Needs Assistance (ONA)
Other Assistance Programs
Small Business Administration (SBA) Programs.
The SBA offers low-cost loans for eligible applicants to use funds to cover economic
losses from business interruption, meet payroll, cover other business expenses, mitigate
against future disasters, replace, or repair personal or business property, or their primary
residence or business.
State Assistance Programs
Public Assistance (PA) Program
The Public Assistance (PA) State Administrative Plan (SAP) provides procedures used by
the Military Department, Emergency Management Division staff (as Grantee) to
administer the Public Assistance Program. Audits of state and local jurisdiction
emergency expenditures will be conducted in the normal course of state and local
government audits. Audits of projects approved for funding with federal disaster
assistance funds are necessary to determine the eligibility of the costs claimed by the
applicant.
Individual Assistance (IA) and Other Needs Assistance (ONA) Programs
The Individual Assistance (IA) State Administrative Plan (SAP) for the Other Needs
Assistance (ONA) Program is used by the State Emergency Management Division staff
(as Grantee) to administer the Individual Assistance Program. The IA SAP sets forth the
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)

organization, staffing, and procedures for the administration of the Individuals and
Households Program, Other Needs Assistance, in Washington State after a major
disaster declaration by the President.
LOGISTICS AND RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
NIMS Resource Management
NIMS resource management guidance enables many organizational elements to collaborate
and coordinate to systematically manage resources—personnel, teams, facilities, equipment,
and supplies. Most jurisdictions or organizations do not own and maintain all the resources
necessary to address all potential threats and hazards. Therefore, effective resource
management includes leveraging each jurisdiction’s resources, engaging private sector
resources, involving volunteer organizations, and encouraging further development of mutual
aid agreements.
Specialized Resources
Resource typing defines and categorizes incident resources by capability. Resource typing
definitions establish a common language for discussing specialized resources by defining
minimum capabilities for personnel, teams, facilities, equipment, and supplies. Resource typing
enables communities to plan for, request, and have confidence that the resources they receive
have the capabilities they requested. FEMA leads the development and maintenance of
resource typing definitions for resources shared on a local, interstate, regional, or national
scale. Jurisdictions can use these definitions to categorize local assets.
Emergency Worker Program / Liability Protection
RCW 38.52 authorizes the use of emergency workers as outlined in state law. "Emergency
Worker" is defined in RCW 38.52.010(7), while provisions addressing the registration, use,
classification, and coverage of emergency workers are addressed by RCW 38.52.180, RCW
38.52.310, and WAC 118.04. The Emergency Management program maintains paperwork and
processes for proper registration of emergency workers.
Procurement and Resource Requesting
Authorities and Overview
The Washington Intrastate Mutual Aid System (WAMAS), established in RCW 38.56,
provides for in-state mutual assistance among member jurisdictions, including every
county, city, and town of the state. Out-of-state mutual aid resources are requested
through the Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC), established in Public
Law 104-321, or the Pacific Northwest Emergency Management Arrangement (PNEMA),
established in Public Law 105-381, both coordinated through Washington Emergency
Management Division.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 35
Methods
Resource requests are tracked throughout their entire life cycle, from the time
submitted, until filled (if consumable) or until the resource is demobilized and returned
(if non-consumable). Supply chain elements, such as state and local staging areas,
reception and integration centers, movement coordination centers, and movement
control points, activate as appropriate to the situation. State and local staging areas
serve as temporary storage areas for the movement of resources to affected areas.
Reception and integration centers provide reception, integration, onward movement,
and accountability for out-of-state resources. Resources should deploy only when
appropriate authorities request and dispatch them through established resource
management systems. Resources that authorities do not request should refrain from
spontaneous deployment to avoid overburdening the recipient and compounding
accountability challenges.
Demobilization
Demobilization should be a planned and coordinated effort with the Department Operations
Centers (DOC), Emergency Operations Center (EOC), and all other involved departments and
agencies. Demobilization planning should begin when an incident begins.
Resource Gaps
Comprehensive and integrated planning can help other levels of government plan their
response to an incident within a jurisdiction. By knowing the extent of the jurisdiction’s
capability, supporting planners can pre-identify shortfalls and develop pre-scripted resource
requests.
DEVELOPMENT AND MAINTENANCE
Core Planning and Development Team
Planning Process
Planning is a continuous process that does not stop when the plan is published. The
planning team develops a rough draft of the basic plan or annexes. As the planning team
works through successive drafts, they add necessary tables, charts, and other graphics.
The team prepares a final draft and circulates it for comment to organizations that have
responsibilities for implementing the plan. The written plan should be checked for its
conformity to applicable regulatory requirements and the standards of Federal or state
agencies and for its usefulness in practice. Once validated, the planning team presents
the plan to the appropriate officials for signature and promulgation. The promulgation
process should be based on a specific statute, law, or ordinance. Once approved, the
planner should arrange to distribute the plan to stakeholders who have roles in
implementing the plan.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 36
The Plan must be updated with new planning and policy goals and objectives in order to
remain current. Updates to the Plan will occur at a minimum of every five years. The
CEMP will be available to the public through the revision process in a public input
process both in person and online. Additionally, the completed CEMP will be available to
the public online through the City of Renton’s website.
Review Process
Commonly used criteria can help decision-makers determine the effectiveness and
efficiency of plans. These measures include adequacy, feasibility, and acceptability.
Decision-makers directly involved in planning can employ these criteria, along with their
understanding of plan requirements, not only to determine a plan’s effectiveness and
efficiency but also to assess risks and define costs.
Adequacy – a plan is adequate if the scope and concept of planned operations identify
and address critical tasks effectively; the plan can accomplish the assigned mission while
complying with the guidance; and the plan’s assumptions are valid, reasonable, and
comply with the guidance.
Feasibility – a plan is feasible if the organization can accomplish the assigned mission
and critical tasks by using available resources within the time contemplated by the plan.
The organization allocates available resources to tasks and tracks the resources by
status (e.g., assigned, out of service). Available resources include internal assets and
those available through mutual aid or through existing state, regional, or Federal
assistance agreements.
Acceptability – a plan is acceptable if it meets the requirements driven by a threat or
incident, meets decision-maker and public cost and time limitations, and is consistent
with the law. The plan can be justified in terms of the cost of resources and if its scale is
proportional to mission requirements. Planners use both acceptability and feasibility
tests to ensure that the mission can be accomplished with available resources without
incurring excessive risk regarding personnel, equipment, material, or time. They also
verify that risk management procedures have identified, assessed, and applied control
measures to mitigate operational risk (i.e., the risk associated with achieving operational
objectives).
Compliance – the plan should comply with guidance and doctrine to the maximum
extent possible because these provide a baseline that facilitates both planning and
execution.
Revisions
Plans should evolve as lessons are learned, new information and insights are obtained,
and priorities are updated. Evaluating the effectiveness of plans involves a combination
of training events, exercises, and real-world incidents to determine whether the goals,
objectives, decisions, actions, and timing outlined in the plan led to a successful
response. Planning teams should establish a process for reviewing and revising the plan.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 37
Reviews should be a recurring activity. In no case should any part of the plan go for
more than two years without being reviewed and revised.
Changes to any part of the plan may be minor (small edits that do not impact the
Emergency Management Program processes and/or roles and responsibilities) or major
(significant modifications to processes and/or roles and responsibilities) in nature.
Minor, administrative changes do not require signature and promulgation. All
substantive changes will be briefed to the Executive Leadership Team, Renton
Emergency Management Division, the Emergency Management Group, and any staff
who may have a part in disaster response. Substantive changes will require a readoption
of that section of the plan by the city council. Renton Emergency Management is
ultimately responsible for updates and changes to the CEMP and will submit a revised
CEMP to the Washington State Emergency Management Division and Renton city
council for approval and formal adoption. The Emergency Management Director shall
promulgate the revised CEMP through a signed letter to all city department
administrators, and the Renton Emergency Management Division will promulgate the
revised CEMP elements to all known stakeholders through communication and training
efforts.
Planning Committee
The Emergency Management Director for the city shall maintain an ongoing Emergency
Management Group. The Emergency Management Group shall consist of personnel
from the following:
Executive Services Department
City Attorney Department
Community and Economic Development Department
Court Services
Equity, Housing, and Human Services Department
Finance Department
Human Resource and Risk Management Department
Parks and Recreation Department
Police Department
Public Works Department
Renton Regional Fire Authority
Other community partners when appropriate
Departments with divisions or sections with significant variations in responsibilities and
expertise may find it necessary to send more than one representative to adequately
contribute to overall emergency management planning, training, and exercising. The
Emergency Management Group should also participate in the planning for, at a
minimum, an annual emergency management exercise that exercises the plan and
includes all appropriate city departments and partner agencies.
The Emergency Management Group is charged with contributing to overall emergency
planning for the city. The Emergency Management Group is responsible for
contributing to the continued development and readiness of the EOC. The Emergency
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 38
Management Group shall ensure that this plan is consistent with the King County
Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan, the Regional Coordination Framework,
the Puget Sound Regional Catastrophic Disaster Coordination Plan, and the Washington
State Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan.
Training and Exercise Program
Through the implementation of the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program
(HSEEP), organizations can use training and exercises to improve current and required Core
Capability levels, identify gaps, and overcome shortfalls. A Capabilities Assessment provides a
gap analysis, by Core Capability, for each desired outcome and capability target; each of the
Homeland Security Regions is required to complete an assessment. The City of Renton
contributes to the assessment for Homeland Security Region 6. After the Capabilities
Assessment is completed, it is referenced to determine the priority capabilities for training and
exercise planned activities and should be coordinated with the Training and Exercise Plan (TEP)
of the state.
Training Program
The City of Renton maintains a roster of Disaster Assignments for all city employees who
may be called to assist in an appropriately skilled position other than their primary role
during a response. To understand this obligation, staff must take ICS 100 and ICS 700,
which are available online. Some staff are also required to take ICS 200, 300, 400, and
800. Additional training may be required for certain disaster assignments and is
specified in the Disaster Assignment document maintained by Renton Emergency
Management.
Exercise Program
Applying the following principles to both the management of an exercise program and
the execution of individual exercises is critical to the effective examination of
capabilities:
Capability-based, Objective Driven – through HSEEP, organizations can use
exercises to examine current and required core capability levels and identify
gaps; exercises focus on assessing performance against capability-based
objectives.
Whole Community Integration – encourage exercise planners to engage the
whole community throughout exercise program management, design and
development, conduct, evaluation, and improvement planning.
Informed by Risk – identifying and assessing risks and associated impacts helps
organizations identify priorities, objectives, and core capabilities to be evaluated
through exercises.
To comply with Emergency Management Performance Grant requirements, the City of
Renton plans to conduct an annual exercise to HSEEP standards if no disaster has
impacted the jurisdiction during the Integrated Planning and Preparedness calendar
year of planning, training, and exercises.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 39
After-Action Reporting
The After-Action Report (AAR) summarizes key exercise-related evaluation information,
including the exercise overview and analysis of objectives and core capabilities;
however, the AAR can also be used to capture and analyze key incident-related
information throughout the phases of an incident. The AAR should include an overview
of performance related to each exercise objective and associated core capabilities while
highlighting strengths and areas for improvement. Upon completion, the exercise
evaluation team provides the draft AAR to the exercise sponsor, who distributes it to
participating organizations prior to drafting a formal AAR. The Emergency Management
Group will aid in the draft of the Improvement Plan and Corrective Action Items before
submitting the AAR and IP to the Executive Leadership Team for review. ELT will review
and confirm items for further action.
All impacted city departments will participate in an After-Action Meeting (AAM), to
include lessons learned and areas for improvement (IP – Improvement Plan), and as
soon as possible for review after an incident. The details and conclusions from the AAM
will inform the After-Action Report to improve response to incidents.
Corrective Actions
Corrective actions are concrete, actionable steps that are intended to resolve capability
gaps and shortcomings identified in exercises or real-world events. In developing
corrective actions, Renton Emergency Management and involved departments should
first review and revise the draft AAR, as needed, to confirm that the issues identified by
evaluators are valid and require resolution. The reviewer then identifies which issues fall
within their organization’s authority and assume responsibility for acting on those
issues. Finally, they determine an initial list of appropriate corrective actions to resolve
identified issues.
Maintenance and Availability
Emergency Management may revise the Renton CEMP including ESFs and other Annexes at a
minimum of every five years from the date of last publication. The current Renton CEMP may
be available to the public through the City of Renton’s public facing website.
Monitoring Changes in Law
Renton Emergency Management monitors updates from the State and King County regarding
changes in legal requirements for the program. The city also retains a lobbyist who monitors
and advocates for the city’s position in all matters that are addressed by the State Legislature.
The Deputy Chief Administrative Officer may brief the Emergency Management Director on any
city council ordinances or other legislation changes relevant to the program.

Introduction
Purpose
Emergency Support Function (ESF) 1 is to provide in a coordinated manner, the resources
(human, technical, equipment, and facility materials and supplies) of internal and external
departments and agencies to support emergency transportation needs during an emergency or
disaster impacting the City of Renton.
The following Core Capabilities support the roles and responsibilities of ESF 1. The primary and
supporting core capabilities are defined to support the execution of critical transportation
operations for this ESF as follows:
Primary Response Core Capability
Critical
Transportation
Provide transportation (including infrastructure access and accessible
transportation services) for response priority objectives, including the
evacuation of people and animals, and the delivery of vital response
personnel, equipment, and services into the affected areas.
Infrastructure
Systems
Stabilize critical infrastructure functions, minimize health and safety threats,
and efficiently restore and revitalize systems and services to support a
viable, resilient community.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 57
Support Response Core Capabilities
Planning
Conduct a systematic process engaging the whole community as appropriate
in the development of executable strategic, operational, and/or tactical-level
approaches to meet defined objectives.
Public Information
and Warning
Deliver coordinated, prompt, reliable, and actionable information to the
whole community through the use of clear, consistent, accessible, and
culturally and linguistically appropriate methods to effectively relay
information regarding any threat or hazard, as well as the actions being
taken, and the assistance being made available, as appropriate.
Operational
Coordination
Establish and maintain a unified and coordinated operational structure and
process that appropriately integrates all critical stakeholders and supports
the execution of Core Capabilities.
Situational
Assessment
Provide all decision makers with decision-relevant information regarding the
nature and extent of the hazard, any cascading effects, and the status of the
response.
Authorities and Policies
Local transportation planning will be focused on the safe and efficient operation of the City of
Renton’s transportation system. Local transportation planning employs the most effective
means of transporting resources including commercial transportation capacity, and capacity
owned or operated by neighboring jurisdictions or state agencies. As mandated by RCW
38.52.070, the City of Renton will perform emergency management functions within its
jurisdictional boundaries.
Transportation planning, as directed by Renton Public Works, will lead three operational
demands:
• Identify and ensure the integrity of local transportation routes for emergency response.
• Coordinate transportation resources with city departments and mutual aid partners.
• Fill the incident management role of Ground Support/Transportation Unit, ensuring a
smooth operational transition towards large event management.
The Renton EOC will coordinate with county, state, and federal agencies to supplement the
transportation resource needs of city departments. Priorities for these resource requests and
their allocation will also be determined in coordination with the Renton EOC. These priorities
will be established consistent with the mission of this plan that calls first for the protection of
life, then property, the environment, and finally the economy.
Situation Overview
Local transportation systems and activities could be hampered by damaged infrastructure and
disrupted communications. Specific hazards of note that would affect transportation
infrastructure include earthquake (direct damage), windstorm (debris blocking roads), winter
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 58
storms (making roads impassable), and flooding (direct damage, debris deposits, or impassable
roads). Local communities and neighborhoods can become “islanded populations” when
transportation systems and infrastructure are disrupted and/or impacted. The City of Renton
Annex to the King County Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan further identifies the natural and
technological emergencies or disasters that could severely damage transportation systems
within the City of Renton.
Critical transportation operations involving roadways, bridges, and overpasses will continue to
increase in sprawling urban areas with population growth. Natural and technological disasters
will greatly increase the damage to the transportation system causing delays in delivery of
outside resources which may include personnel, equipment, and goods and services. Critical
infrastructure within the City of Renton may be disrupted or impacted by a disaster causing
negative affects to basic human needs and community functionality. Vulnerable critical
infrastructure within the City of Renton to consider as priority includes bridges, water towers,
and pipelines (petroleum and natural gas).
Concept of Operations
The City of Renton public transportation authorities are responsible for restoring transportation
systems under their control. Public Works is the primary agency responsible for the assessment
of damages to highway and road transportation routes within the City of Renton. Additional
functions of ESF 1 may include transportation modes management and control, transportation
safety, stabilization of transportation infrastructure, and movement restrictions.
Transportation Management and Control
o Establish physical access through appropriate transportation corridors and deliver
required resources to save lives and to meet the needs of disaster survivors.
o Clear debris from primary and secondary routes to facilitate response operations.
o Coordinate debris removal in the City of Renton using the City of Renton Debris
Management Plan.
o Mobilize all available critical resources to re-establish critical infrastructure within the
affected area.
o Facilitate the coordination, response, use, and recovery of the transportation system
across neighboring jurisdictions.
o Establish ingress and egress routes to facilitate movement restrictions and
transportation safety.
o In smaller incidents, transportation resource requests will be managed through an
Incident Command Post or Departmental Operations Center (DOC).
o Requests for additional assistance from private, county, state, and federal agencies will
filter through the Renton EOC when capabilities exceed local resources to support
response and recovery efforts.
o Procedures for the coordination of transportation resources are located under the
Logistics Section of the Renton EOC procedures.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 59
o Incident management measures will be implemented by the following lead agencies in
the event of disruption to transportation systems:
• Aviation: Renton Public Works Airport
• Maritime: Renton Regional Fire Authority
• Pipeline: Renton Public Works, Renton Regional Fire Authority
• Railroad: Renton Public Works
• Surface Roadways: Renton Public Works
Whole Community
The “Whole Community” includes individuals, families, households, communities, the private
and nonprofit sectors, faith-based organizations, and local, tribal, state, and Federal
governments. ESF 1 includes communicating with the Whole Community during transportation
and critical infrastructure preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation activities. The
Whole Community includes populations with Limited English Proficiency (LEP), individuals with
disabilities, and Access and Functional Needs (AFN).
ESF 1 has been reviewed by the Whole Community through a public input process that included
online (virtual) and in-person access.
Organization
Renton Public Works is responsible for the assessment of transportation systems in the City of
Renton and identification of functional and non-functional components of the systems. Public
transportation authorities are responsible for the restoration of transportation systems under
their control.
A Ground Support/Transportation Unit from Renton Public Works will organize transportation
resources and maintain liaison with transportation authorities. The Transportation Unit is
located in the Logistics Section of the Incident Management System. The Renton EOC will
provide support to the lead agency for this ESF.
Notification
This ESF can be activated for Renton EOC Support through the following agencies:
• Renton Public Works
• Renton Police Department
• Renton Regional Fire Authority (RFA)
• Renton EOC Duty Officer or EOC Director
Activation may occur due to the severity of the event or perceived threat; unmitigated risk to
the Renton community; or in support of mutual aid partners.

Introduction
Purpose
The purpose of Emergency Support Function (ESF) 2 is to provide guidance for coordinating,
maintaining, and reestablishing the communications capabilities necessary for the operational
requirements for the City of Renton in preparing for, responding to, and recovering from
emergencies and disasters.
ESF 2 also identifies the guidance for rapid alerting and warning of city officials and the general
public of an impending or occurring natural or technological emergency or disaster.
The following Core Capabilities support the roles and responsibilities of ESF 2. The primary and
supporting core capabilities are defined to support the execution of communication,
information systems, and warning for this ESF as follows:
Primary Response Core Capabilities
Public Information
and Warning
Deliver coordinated, prompt, reliable, and actionable information to the
whole community through the use of clear, consistent, accessible, and
culturally and linguistically appropriate methods to effectively relay
information regarding any threat or hazard, as well as the actions being
taken and the assistance being made available, as appropriate.
Operational
Communications
Ensure the capacity for timely communications in support of security,
situational awareness, and operations, by any and all means available,
among and between affected communities in the impact area and all
response forces.
Infrastructure
Systems
Stabilize critical infrastructure functions, minimize health and safety threats,
and effectively restore and revitalize systems and services to support a
viable, resilient community.
Logistics and Supply
Chain Management
Deliver essential commodities, equipment, and services in support of
impacted communities and survivors, to include emergency power and fuel
support, as well as the coordination and access to community staples.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 67
Primary Response Core Capabilities
Synchronize logistics capabilities and enable the restoration of impacted
supply chains.
Support Response Core Capabilities
Planning
Conduct a systematic process engaging the whole community as appropriate
in the development of executable strategic, operational, and/or tactical-level
approaches to meet defined objectives.
Situational
Assessment
Provide all decision makers with decision-relevant information regarding the
nature and extent of the hazard, any cascading effects, and the status of the
response.
Authorities and Policies
ESF 2 applies to city departments as well as private and volunteer organizations that take action
to establish and maintain communication, information system, and warning support in
preparation for, response to, and recovery from an emergency or disaster which affects the
population and government operations in the City of Renton. Substitute Senate Bill 5573 (RCW
43.105.331 and 43.105.020) addresses implementing two-way voice via the State
Communications Interoperability Plan to ensure interoperability between federal, state, and
local agencies. Special considerations for communicating with significant segments of the
population with Limited English Proficiency (LEP) and those with Access or Functional Needs
(AFN) is addressed in this ESF with compliance to:
• Civil Rights Act of 1964
o Unlawful discrimination against race, color, or national origin.
• RCW 38.52.070
o Requirement for emergency management organizations to include and
communications plan which identifies “significant population segments” that
have LEP and AFN and how information will be disseminated to those
populations during an emergency or disaster.
• WAC 118-30
o LEP and AFN populations are components of the Whole Community which is
discussed as a requirement for inclusion throughout the planning process.
• WAC 118-04
o Registration of volunteers through the Emergency Worker Program.
Situation Overview
The Basic Plan portion of the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan identifies the
natural and technological emergencies or disasters the City of Renton may experience that
require full support of their communication systems. Major hazards of concern that would
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 68
disrupt communication and information systems may include earthquakes, landslides, wind
events, winter storms, and cyber-attack.
Alert and Warning
Following an emergency or disaster, people within Renton will expect to be informed of the
actions the city is taking to protect life and property loss. The nature of the incident may not
allow sufficient time to provide for warning. The City of Renton would likely need to use
multiple systems and approaches to alert the population of an emergency or disaster. Alerting
systems may include the activation of the ALERT Renton mass notification system or the
Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS). Although the city of Renton has direct
access to generating alerts through ALERT Renton, the city does not control the use of IPAWS,
which can issue alerts through the Emergency Alert System (EAS), Wireless Emergency Alerts
(WEA), and on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather Radio.
These alerting systems provide authenticated emergency and life-saving information to the
public through mediums such as mobile or landline telephones, TTY/TDD devices, radio,
television, or Weather Radio. Emergency information or warning relayed to the media is
publicized at the discretion of the broadcasters. It is important to note that not all warning and
emergency notification messages will reach the intended audiences due to disruptions in
communication systems. Additionally, system databases will not include all telephone numbers
of affected individuals.
Technological limitations may prevent communication with the general public, including those
with LEP and those with AFN. Consult the King County Inclusive Emergency Communication
Plan (IECP) and the Renton Annex to the King County IECP for alternative communication
options specific to addressing LEP and AFN populations. The City of Renton recognizes that
members of these communities will have additional difficulties in receiving and understanding
warning and emergency notification messages if special efforts are not made to reach them.
Communication Systems
The City of Renton’s primary concern will be with lifesaving responses and the restoration of
vital city services necessitating the use of communication systems. The city’s communication
systems may be overwhelmed, damaged, or destroyed by a natural or technological disaster
when they are needed the most. As backup communication is limited, it will be necessary to
assess, prioritize and allocate the use of all working systems. It is important to note that
communication systems may not have sufficient capacity to handle the traffic generated by
emergency conditions, therefore, the city may be forced to rely on alternate communication
systems when normal communication systems are overwhelmed or inadequate.
Communication systems are vulnerable and depending on the nature of the disaster and the
extent of the damage, repairs to these systems may take months.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 69
Concept of Operations
It is essential for the City of Renton to have reliable communications and information system
capabilities for day-to-day communications, warning capabilities, response and recovery
efforts, and coordination with other organizations. Such capabilities must be available to the
city for operations from the primary or alternate EOC as well as any other location selected. The
City of Renton will prioritize available communications and information systems with life safety
first, followed by critical government functions, the protection of property, the environment,
and the economy. In the event communication support is needed beyond available capabilities,
the City of Renton will request assistance through the King County Emergency Operations
Center (EOC) or directly to Washington State EOC.
Procedures detailing responsibility for, and operation of emergency communications
equipment are located in the City of Renton Emergency Operations Center Procedures,
maintained separately. Procedures detailing the activation of warning systems are found in the
City of Renton Emergency Operations Center Duty Officer Manual, maintained separately.
Coordination
• Ensure the capacity to communicate with internal city staff, external agencies including
the Renton Regional Fire Authority (RFA), and both the emergency response community
and the affected populations are established and interoperable between responders
and coordinators at the Federal, tribal, state, and local levels.
• Reestablish sufficient communications infrastructure within the affected areas to
support ongoing response activities.
• Reestablish critical information networks including cybersecurity information sharing
networks to maintain situational awareness, inform incident response, and support the
resiliency of key systems.
• The Incident Commander or their delegate will establish a communications plan for the
field units and other organizations responsible for response and recovery efforts.
• The City of Renton EOC may assist Incident Command in communications coordination.

natural and technological emergencies or disasters the City of Renton may experience that
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 82
could overwhelm Renton Public Works. An emergency or disaster could damage or destroy
structures, streets, signals, or water, storm drainage and sewer utility systems.
Renton Public Works personnel may also be affected by the event and unable to work or obtain
the necessary equipment to perform their standard operations. Additional resources may not
be available to the city to meet emergency requirements. County, state, or federal assistance
may be necessary to ensure a timely, efficient, and effective response.
Planning Assumptions
• Debris clearance and emergency road repairs will be given priority to support immediate
lifesaving emergency response.
• Water supplies and infrastructure for firefighting will be evaluated, and priority may be
given to areas determined most critical.
• Renton Public Works engineering personnel and construction equipment may become
overwhelmed and require resource assistance from outside the jurisdiction of the city.
• Emergency supplies of potable drinking water will be coordinated system wide or at pre-
designated locations such as functional water reservoirs.
• Previously inspected structures and city utility systems may require re-evaluation when
after-shocks occur following an earthquake or, in other disasters, whenever conditions
of the disaster substantially worsen.
Concept of Operations
General
Renton Public Works will coordinate engineering and construction activities and communicate
with support agencies such as city departments, the City of Renton Emergency Operations
Center (EOC), and the Washington State Department of Transportation (WA DOT) as necessary.
Damage assessment may be conducted for in conjunction with ESF 1 following the procedures
outlined in the Damage Assessment Annex. Information collected will be forwarded to Renton
Public Works and the City of Renton EOC, if activated. Renton Public Works will then develop
Incident Action Plans with the support of ESF 5 - Emergency Management and ESF 14 - the City
of Renton Disaster Recovery Plan, for response and recovery activities.

Introduction
Purpose
The purpose of Emergency Support Function 4 (ESF 4) Firefighting is to describe the framework
for response, preparedness, mitigation, and recovery from natural, human caused or
catastrophic events requiring a fire response within the City of Renton. This will provide for the
coordinated use of Renton Regional Fire Authority (RFA) resources in suppressing urban, rural
and wildland fires, which could be human caused, or the result of a technological or natural
disaster. ESF 4 is developed to provide an organizational framework that will effectively utilize
all available firefighting apparatus and personnel within the City of Renton, describe the
dispatching of such equipment and manpower to locations where needed, and provide for
effective operations at the scene during an emergency or disaster.
The following Core Capabilities support the roles and responsibilities of ESF 4. The primary and
supporting core capabilities are defined to support the execution of Firefighting operations for
the ESF as follows:
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 91

Ensure the capacity for timely communications in support of security,
situational awareness, and operations, by any and all means available,
among and between affected communities in the impact area and all
response forces.
Situational
Assessment
Provide all decision makers with decision-relevant information regarding the
nature and extent of the hazard, any cascading effects, and the status of the
response.
Authorities and Policies
The procedures to be used during fire and other emergencies requiring fire service resources
are defined in the Washington state fire mobilization plan, RCW 43.43.962: State Fire Services
Resource Mobilization Plan (2019). (Formally RCW 38.54.030). Consistent with Department of
Homeland Security National Incident Management System, the fire department or authority
must implement the Incident Command System in accordance with WAC 296-305-05000:
Incident Management (2019). Fire suppression management and procedures are identified in
WAC 296-305-05002: Fire Suppression (2019). Accountability for wildland firefighter and
firefighter safety standards are outlined in WAC-296-305-07012: Wildland Fire Personnel
Accountability (2019) and WAC 296-305: Safety Standards for Firefighters (2019).
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 92
The guidelines established in the Renton Regional Fire Authority Operating Procedures shall be
followed in responding to an emergency or disaster. This includes the activation of the fire
Department Operating Center (DOC) to establish operational control and:
• All activities within ESF 4 will be conducted in accordance with the National Incident
Management System (NIMS) and the National Response Framework (NRF) and will
utilize the Incident Command System (ICS).
• Priority shall be given to life safety, incident stabilization, property conservation,
environmental protection, and economic considerations, in that order.
• In the event the Renton RFA has exhausted all resources through automatic/mutual aid
agreements, one or more of three established fire resource plans may be activated.
These three plans consist of the King County Fire Resource Plan, the South Puget Sound
Regional Fire Defense Plan, and the Washington State Fire Services Resource
Mobilization Plan (RCW 43.43.962).
• The Renton EOC, if activated, will be informed when resources are reasonably expected
to be exhausted. The Renton EOC will communicate critical resource updates to the
Policy Advisory Group if policy level decisions are required in the continued
management of the incident.
• Critical Incident Stress Debriefing (CISD) may be requested within one week of an
incident through the Resiliency Coordinator to support fire personnel and their families.
• Fire service mutual aid will be exhausted or nearly exhausted prior to requesting
regional or state fire mobilization resources.
• Valley Communications Center is the designated public safety answering point (E 9-1-1
dispatch center) for the dispatch of fire mobilization resources in Zone 3 (South King
County). Other 9-1-1 dispatch centers will support Valley Communications Center upon
request. These are Port of Seattle Dispatch Center, NORCOM for Zone 1 (North and East
King County), Seattle Fire Department Fire Alarm Center for Zone 5 (City of Seattle), and
the King County Sheriff’s Office Communications Center.
• Each local, state, or federal agency will assume the full cost of protection of the lands
within its respective boundaries unless other arrangements are made. Fire protection
agencies should not incur costs in jurisdictions outside their area without
reimbursement unless there is a local mutual aid agreement between those
jurisdictions. It is essential that the issue of financial limitation be clarified through
proper official channels for efficient delivery of fire services.
• Coordination with and support of state and local fire suppression organizations is
accomplished through the state forester, in cooperation with the state fire marshal,
Washington State Emergency Management Division (WA EMD), or other appropriate
fire suppression organizations operating under NIMS/ICS.
• National support for local and state firefighting operations is coordinated through the
National Interagency Coordinating Center (NICC) located at the National Interagency
Fire Center (NIFC) in Boise, ID. This is coordinated between the Washington State Fire
Marshal or WAEMD and the Joint Field Office (JFO).
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 93
The Renton RFA policies and procedures outline mutual aid partners and DOC guidelines to be
used for large incidents. Within these policies are disaster specific standard operating
procedures (SOPs) written to support Renton RFA’s disaster response. Additionally, the King
County Fire Chiefs Model Procedures outline countywide disaster specific policies that all fire
agencies in King County follow. These specific SOPs and procedures are listed in the References
section at the end of this document.
Situation Overview
Emergencies or disasters may occur in a local jurisdiction at any time causing fires of all types
and complexities; significant human suffering, injury, and death; public and private property
damage; environmental degradation; economic hardship to businesses, families, and
individuals; and disruption of local government. Urban and rural fires may result from or occur
coincidentally with, an earthquake or as the result of another significant event.
Under ideal conditions, the management of large firefighting operations is complex and
involves an immense staff, several different agencies, and jurisdictions. Normal response will be
hampered by such occurrences as bridge failures, landslides, traffic congestion, fallen debris,
flooding or fire. Fire and life safety response times will be delayed and responses to
occurrences will be prioritized. Extremely large fires and those resulting from, or coinciding with
a major earthquake or other disaster, will place extraordinary demands on available resources
and logistics support systems. Availability of fire service personnel may be limited due to
injuries, personal concerns, needs or limited access to work location. First arriving recall
personnel may be assigned to initial first response for emergencies. Agencies which commonly
support large fire suppression operations (mutual aid, fire mobilization, police, public works,
the Department of Ecology, the American Red Cross, etc.), will receive many fire and non-fire
related requests. Many of the resources normally available for use in fighting large fires may be
unavailable. Support normally given by electric, gas and water utility companies may be
hampered by the magnitude of the incident. Also, utility failure such as the disruption of
firefighting water supply may compound or add to the size of the incident.
A significant natural or technological event may result in many fire emergencies throughout the
City of Renton. In any major fire, airborne burning materials can be distributed over a wide
area, complicating the response. Ignition sources could also cause hundreds of fires throughout
South King County during and after an earthquake. The damage potential from fires in urban
areas during and after a major earthquake is extreme. Under the worst conditions, these fires
will have the potential to spread rapidly, cause extensive damage, and pose a serious threat to
life, property, and the environment. Intra-jurisdiction and mutual aid firefighting resources may
be difficult to obtain and utilize due to massive disruption of communications, transportation
routes, utilities, and water systems. Communication channels will likely be disrupted, and the
attempted use of these systems may be overwhelmed due to heavy traffic. If communications
are completely down, it will be necessary for the city to manage its own resources through the
implementation of the Renton EOC and the Renton RFA DOC.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 94
Concept of Operations
General
Firefighting involves the organization and management of fire scene activities to suppress fires
of all types, kinds, and complexities while protecting the lives, property, and the environment in
the affected area. This includes the resource assistance of other agencies through the
countywide mutual aid agreement and the statewide mobilization plan.
For the purpose of this ESF, fire service is considered fire suppression and control. Basic
emergency medical care and immediate life safety services, such as rescue and hazardous
materials response, although delivered by the Renton RFA, are detailed in other ESFs (ESF 8 –
Public Health and Medical Services, ESF 9 – Search and Rescue and ESF 10 – Hazardous
Materials Response). Additional capabilities of the Renton RFA include Water Rescue, Technical
Rescue, Wildland firefighting and Hazmat response.
The resources and logistics utilized to fight fires depend on the type or category of the fire
incident. The differences are described below:
• Urban Fires - A fire of natural or human-caused origin that results in the destruction of
property, homes, businesses, and other structures in populated, urban, or suburban
areas. These fires occur primarily in cities or towns with the potential to rapidly
spread to adjoining structures.
• Rural Fires - A fire of natural or human-caused origin that occurs in or near forest or
grassland areas where isolated homes, subdivisions, and small communities are
located. These uncontrolled fires can start as, or grow into, a structure or wildland fire
that can extend to urban areas.
• Wildland Fires - A fire of natural or human-caused origin that results in the
uncontrolled destruction of forests, field crops, and grasslands. Wildland fires can be
identified by their severity as Type 5 being the least complex and Type 1 as the most
complex. Members on Renton RFA’s Wildland team will be trained and shall maintain
the Wildland Technician level firefighter minimum standard of the National Wildland
Coordinating Group (NWCG) Firefighter 2 (FF2) or equivalent training. These Wildland
Technicians can be deployed statewide and nationally.
Renton RFA will manage and coordinate firefighting activities within the city. Other Renton RFA
functions may be carried out concurrently and by the same personnel during the course of
firefighting. The Renton RFA is signatory to a countywide mutual aid agreement which is
defined as the King County Interlocal Agreement (KC ILA) for Mutual Aid. The fire service also
cooperates in a statewide mobilization plan defined as the Washington State Fire Services
Resource Mobilization Plan. This plan is activated through a detailed request by the Renton
Duty Chief to the Zone 3 Coordinator, the King County Coordinator, and ultimately the South
Puget Sound Regional Coordinator through the Valley Communications Dispatch Center. Renton
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 95
RFA is also a participant in the Zone 3 Fire Operations Chief Coordinators, for large-scale
incidents.
The Fire Chief or designee will activate the Departmental Operations Center (DOC) to manage
and support complex or significant field incidents, or high call volume events. The Duty Chief or
on-duty South Battalion Chief/Safety Officer will be an overall coordinator of fire service
activities during or following a disaster. The DOC will coordinate with the field command post
and the City of Renton EOC as necessary. The primary location of the DOC is Renton RFA Station
13 (Headquarters). The back-up location will be Renton RFA Station 12 which is downstairs at
the same location as the City of Renton EOC when activated. An alternate location will be the
City of Renton Public Works Maintenance Shops building.
Communications will be through established channels. The primary mode of emergency
communications would take place on the Puget Sound Emergency Radio Network (PSERN) radio
communications system. Secondary communications are outlined in RRFA Communication
Guide and include Site Trucking, State Ops, VHF radios, MDC, pagers and amateur radios (HAM
radios).
Whole Community
The “Whole Community” includes individuals, families, households, communities, the private
and nonprofit sectors, faith-based organizations, and local, tribal, state, and Federal
governments. ESF 4 includes communicating with the Whole Community during firefighting
preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation activities. The Whole Community includes
populations with Limited English Proficiency (LEP), individuals with disabilities, and Access and
Functional Needs (AFN).
ESF 4 has been reviewed by the Whole Community through a public input process that included
online (virtual) and in-person access.
Organization
The Renton RFA has the responsibility for the accomplishment of firefighting activities in the
Renton Regional Fire Authority service area. This includes the City of Renton along with King
County Fire Protection District #25 (East Renton Plateau) and #40 (Fairwood). There are
currently seven Renton RFA fire stations that have pre-designated response areas and provide
backup as necessary to the other stations. Renton RFA key fire stations that will be backed-up
and staffed include Station 11 (downtown), Station 16 (East Renton Plateau) and Station 17
(Fairwood). The Response Operations Division is responsible for all Suppression, EMS, Technical
Rescue, Water Rescue, and Hazardous Material activities. The Office of the Fire Marshal is
responsible for providing International Fire and Building Code inspections, plans checking,
public education and fire investigation. The Support Services Division and Administration are
responsible for fleet, facilities, logistics, finance, security and other support needs. The
EMS/Health and Safety Division is responsible for Emergency Medical Services (EMS) as well as
occupational injury, illness and exposure of RRFA members.

EMERGENCY SUPPORT FUNCTION 5: INFORMATION AND PLANNING
Primary Agency: City of Renton Executive Services Department
Support Agencies: All other City of Renton Departments
Renton Regional Fire Authority
King County Emergency Operations Center
Washington State Emergency Management Division
Department of Homeland Security/CISA Region 10
Introduction
Purpose
The purpose of Emergency Support Function (ESF) 5 is to support and facilitate multiagency
planning and coordination for operations during incidents requiring city internal and external
coordination. ESF 5 does this by ensuring proper execution of several Core Capabilities: Planning,
Operational Coordination, and Situational Assessment. ESF 5 also supports the following Core
Capabilities in conjunction with other ESFs: Public Information and Warning; Logistics and Supply
Chain Management, and Operational Communications. Descriptions of each are found below.
City of Renton’s Emergency Management Division, housed within the Executive Services
Department, leads the effort to collect, analyze, and share information about and coordinate
planning efforts on potential or actual emergencies or disasters. Emergency management
supports overall activities for incident management in Renton and liaises with county, state, and
federal emergency management agencies for multi-agency coordination. Emergency
Management maintains the Renton Emergency Operations Center (EOC) in a state of readiness.
Primary Response Core Capabilities
Planning
Conduct a systematic process engaging the whole community as appropriate
in the development of executable strategic, operational, and/or tactical-level
approaches to meet defined objectives.
Operational
Coordination
Establish and maintain a unified and coordinated operational structure and
process that appropriately integrates all critical stakeholders and supports
the execution of Core Capabilities.
Situational
Assessment
Provide all decision makers with decision-relevant information regarding the
nature and extent of the hazard, any cascading effects, and the status of the
response.
Supporting Response Core Capabilities
Public Information
and Warning
Deliver coordinated, prompt, reliable, and actionable information to the
whole community through the use of clear, consistent, accessible, and
culturally and linguistically appropriate methods to effectively relay

Supporting Response Core Capabilities
information regarding any threat or hazard, as well as the actions being
taken, and the assistance being made available, as appropriate.
Logistics & Supply
Chain Management
Deliver essential commodities, equipment, and services in support of
impacted communities and survivors, to include emergency power and fuel
support, as well as the coordination of access to community staples.
Synchronize logistics capabilities and enable the restoration of impacted
supply chains.
Operational
Communications
Ensure the capacity for timely communications in support of security,
situational awareness, and operations, by any and all means available,
among and between affected communities in the impact area and all
response forces.
Authorities and Policies
This ESF applies to city departments as well as private and volunteer organizations that
commonly report to the EOC during an activation.
• ESF 5 facilitates information flow in the pre-incident preparedness phase in order to place
assets on alert or to pre-position assets for quick response.
• During the response phase, ESF 5 transitions and is responsible for operational
coordination, situational awareness, and planning capabilities.
ESF 5 activities include those critical to support and facilitate multiagency planning and
coordination of operations for large scale incidents. This includes alert and notification, staffing
of the EOC, incident action planning, provide support operations, logistics and material direction
and control, information management, facilitation of requests for assistance, resource
acquisition and management, worker safety and health management, facilities management,
financial management, and other support as required. RCW 38.52: Emergency Management is a
chapter that encompasses the purpose, definitions, requirements, authorities, and policies of
Emergency Management functions for the state of Washington. The Local Emergency
Management or Services WAC 118-30 outlines local approaches to emergency plans and
programs.
The following policies established by the City of Renton operate as guidelines for responding to
an emergency or disaster including:
• The National Incident Management System (NIMS), including the Incident Command
System (ICS), will be used in any size or type of disaster.
• Management of response personnel, facilities, finances, and equipment will be
coordinated through the Planning, Operations, Finance and Administration, and
Logistics Sections within the EOC using the ICS structure.
• Incident response and organization will be documented through the use of FEMA ICS
Forms including but not limited to ICS 214 Activity Logs to document incident activities.
• ESF 5 is responsible for the communication and coordination of infrastructure
supporting effective response to the affected area in the anticipation of requirements
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 106
for preparedness, response, and recovery and in support of additional response
activities.
• ESF 5 is responsible for the request, coordination, analysis, and dissemination of
necessary information from city departments to support response and recovery efforts.
• ESF 5 will provide guidance for each city department in making their reports during a
response, if needed.
• Incidents should be handled at the lowest level. If the city becomes overwhelmed and in
need of outside support, existing mutual aid agreements will be used. Support beyond
or in addition to mutual aid will be coordinated through ESF 5 up to the county, state,
federal and non-governmental organizations. Conversely, ESF 5 will facilitate requests
for support from these agencies.
• In circumstances that include a component of terrorism, civil disturbance, or other law-
enforcement sensitive intelligence, Renton Police will be the lead agency in information
coordination to ensure proper intelligence-handling procedures are established and
enforced. ESF 5 will support their direction.
Situation Overview
Emergencies or disasters may occur in a local jurisdiction at any time causing significant human
suffering, injury, and death; public and private property damage; environmental degradation;
economic hardship to businesses, families, and individuals; and disruption of local government.
These hazards are identified in the risk assessment included in the Renton Annex to the King
County Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan (henceforth as Hazard Mitigation Plan.
The hazards identified in the Hazard Mitigation Plan could disrupt public services, damage
property, and cause injury or death of persons within affected areas. The urgency of the event
may direct the focus toward response operations and EOC activation. As a result, initial reporting
to outside agencies may be delayed.
Primary hazards include dam failure, floods, severe weather (excessive heat, winter storms, and
windstorms), earthquakes, landslides, volcanic hazards, landslide, sink holes, and ground
subsidence hazards, hazardous materials releases, and acts of terrorism or civil disturbance.
Additionally, the city is subject to major transportation disruptions and accidents, utility and
infrastructure failures or collapses, public health emergencies, and mass casualty incidents from
any cause. Early in the course of the event, little information will be available, and information
may be vague and inaccurate. Reporting to outside agencies will improve as the event matures.
Normal communication channels may be disrupted in part or entirely.
Concept of Operations
During disasters or emergencies, the need for rapid decisions and actions may require that
emergency management plans and procedures supersede normal business operations.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 107
The departments and outside agencies operating in the EOC will work to develop situational
awareness/common operating picture for the incident. This will include receiving periodic
reports from field representatives and requesting information from other agencies, public and
private. It will also be conducted by monitoring social media and other media platforms.
The Renton EOC Planning Section is responsible for the collection, analysis, synthesis, and
distribution of information gathered. This will be delivered in the form of a Situation Report
(SitRep). The SitRep may be shared with the field command, city departments, partner agencies,
and the media as appropriate. The Planning Section is responsible for ongoing maintenance of
situational awareness/common operating picture and distribution of this information as it
changes throughout the event. Guidance for the Planning Section is contained in the Planning
Section Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) document. City of Renton department
representatives in the EOC will develop reporting procedures with their field representatives
and/or Departmental Operations Centers (DOC) to facilitate information flow between the field
and the EOC.
Whole Community
The “Whole Community” includes individuals, families, households, communities, the private
and nonprofit sectors, faith-based organizations, and local, tribal, state, and Federal
governments. ESF 5 includes communicating with the Whole Community during all phases of
emergency preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation activities. The Whole Community
includes populations with Limited English Proficiency (LEP), individuals with disabilities, and
other Access and Functional Needs (AFN).
ESF 5 has been reviewed by the Whole Community through a public input process that included
online (virtual) and in-person access.
Organization
The Renton EOC is organized utilizing the basic concepts of the National Incident Management
System (NIMS) and consists of the functional areas needed for coordination of the event, which
could include Operations, Planning, Logistics, and Finance/Administration sections, and other
core functions such as Public Information and Communications.
Procedures
• See City of Renton EOC Desk Manual procedures.
• See individual department/division's standard operating procedures for communication
and coordination; Renton Police Department procedures; Renton Regional Fire
Authority procedures.

October 2023 108
The ESF can be activated through several channels:
• Incident Commander
• City mayor, city administrator, or designee
• Emergency Management Director or designee
• Emergency Management Duty Officer
Activation may occur due to the severity of the event or perceived threat; unmitigated risk to
Renton community; in a planned event situation; or in support of mutual aid partners.
Activation of staff may occur through Renton’s internal notification system, using the ALERT
Renton platform to contact employees. If communications are not impeded, notification may
be sent by email, text, or phone call using available employee contact information.

Authorities and Policies
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) National Response Framework (NRF):
Mass Care, Emergency Assistance, Temporary Housing and Human Services Annex outlines
mass care standard activities as follows:
• Mass Care: Congregate sheltering, feeding, distribution of emergency supplies, and
family reunification.
• Emergency Assistance: Coordination of voluntary organizations and unsolicited
donations, management of unaffiliated volunteers, essential community relief
services, non-congregate and transitional sheltering, support to individuals with
disabilities and others with access and functional needs, mass evacuation support,
and essential needs of children and household pets and service animals in a disaster.
• Temporary Housing: Housing rentals, repairs, and loan assistance, replacement,
factory-built housing, semi-permanent construction, safe and secure physically
accessible housing, and access to other sources of temporary housing assistance.
• Human Services: Disaster assistance programs that help survivors address unmet
disaster-caused needs and/or non-housing losses through loans and grants. Also
includes supplemental nutritional assistance, crisis counseling, disaster case
management, disaster unemployment, disaster legal services, and other state and
Federal human services programs and benefits to survivors.
Federal Public Law: Pets Evacuation and Transportation Standards Act of 2006
• Authorizes FEMA to provide rescue, care, shelter, and essential needs for individuals
with household pets and service animals, and to the household pets and animals
themselves following a major disaster or emergency.
City Sheltering Policies
In adhering to mass care standard activities and accordance with Washington
Administrative Code (WAC) 118-30-060 and RCW 38.10.010, the City of Renton has
developed internal policies and procedures as they relate to mass care, sheltering, and
human services.
During a disaster and when requested to support a jurisdiction’s sheltering efforts, the city
will make every reasonable effort to provide facilities that are compliant with applicable laws
pertaining to accessibility. The city accommodates for persons with access and functional
needs as described in this ESF. Persons with access or functional needs shall receive the same
standard of care and services as afforded to all others, regardless of the venue in which they
are sheltered. All persons, regardless of access or functional need, shall have equal access to
available state supported general population shelter if they are able to meet their own needs,
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 118
have a reliable caretaker(s), or can be housed in a general population shelter with some
assistance from volunteers to assist with personal and/or medical care. Persons requiring
acute or skilled medical care cannot be accommodated in general population shelters and may
be sheltered under ESF 8 in a medical shelter.
The city recognizes individuals in need of response assistance may include those who have
disabilities, who live in institutionalized settings, who are elderly, who are children, who are
from diverse cultures, who have Limited English Proficiency (LEP) or are non-English speaking,
or who are transportation disadvantaged. The special needs of children, particularly as they
relate to issues of safety and welfare in the shelter setting, may call for the need to expedite
reunification with families.
• In coordination with the Damage Assessment Annex, shelter facilities may receive
priority consideration for structural inspections prior to occupancy to ensure the
safety of occupants.
• The City of Renton will make every effort to coordinate the training of employees to
staff general shelters. All persons involved in the direct provision of disaster case
management services shall be subject to criminal history background checks and
verification of appropriate training.
• The city may, at its option, and with consideration for occupant health and safety,
choose to co-locate people with their pets vs housing pets separately in a nearby
animal shelter. Shelters may accommodate service animals that accompany persons
with access or functional needs.
• The City of Renton maintains a directory of shelters identified by the American Red
Cross or designated by the city for shelter use. The City of Renton maintains a list of
shelter supply locations within the City of Renton and will follow agreement terms
in applicable Memorandums of Understanding to access and use these supplies.
• The American Red Cross and King County Parks have formed a partnership with
several jurisdictions to store containers supplied with cots, bariatric cots, blankets,
etc., in cities and at county facilities.
• Federal Public Law: Pets Evacuation and Transportation Standards Act of 2006
Authorizes FEMA to provide rescue, care, shelter, and essential needs for individuals
with household pets and service animals, and to the household pets and animals
themselves following a major disaster or emergency.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 119
Situation Overview
Depending on the emergency or disaster, a significant percentage of the population of Renton
could be displaced from their homes. Thousands of people could be forced from their homes,
depending on such factors as the time of occurrence, area demographics, building construction,
and existing weather conditions. There may be transient or tourist populations who are
unfamiliar with the hazards in the area. Many impacted persons will remain with or near their
damaged homes. Some will go to mass shelters, others will find shelter with friends and
relatives, and some will also go to public areas such as fire stations looking for assistance.
However, fire stations will not be viable locations for public shelter, as the emergency
responders will have other priority missions to accomplish. Additionally, emergency facilities
throughout the City of Renton could be severely damaged or inaccessible.
In an earthquake, structures may be damaged and unsafe for occupancy. In many disasters,
roads may be disrupted or blocked, preventing access to individual homes. Disruption of roads
may make it difficult for displaced residents to reach shelter services. Although homes may be
undamaged, the absence of utilities could also drive people from their homes to seek shelter.
The amount of damage to structures, essential systems and services could rapidly overwhelm
the capacity of the City of Renton to assess the event and respond effectively to basic and
emergency human needs. Damage to roads, airports, and communications systems could
hamper emergency response efforts and their restoration time may be undetermined. The
movement of supplies could be seriously impeded. Many professional emergency workers and
others who normally would help during an event could be unable to reach their assigned posts.
Planning for ESF 6 is based on a worst-case scenario in which an event occurs without warning
at a time of day that will produce maximum casualties. Consideration should also be given to
other events that could cause numerous casualties and require the temporary relocation of
impacted persons. The magnitude of the event will determine the need for large, long-term
shelters.
As the population increases, the magnitude of mass care, sheltering, feeding, housing, health
and human services, and other related service needs will also increase. The City of Renton has
limited facilities that can support mass care and sheltering operations. In the event of an
emergency, the City of Renton has numerous parks, open spaces, and ball fields that could
accommodate recreational vehicles, tents, and other temporary shelter spaces. However, such
use is not sanctioned under current city ordinances. Changing city ordinances would require
legislative action by council or specify such allowed uses under the terms of an emergency
proclamation by the mayor.
It is important to note that Renton has a large pet population, therefore the city shall plan for
pets along with shelters. Additionally, planning considerations should be made for impacted
persons with pets when pet-sheltering is not available.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 120
Concept of Operations
Renton Parks and Recreation has been designated the primary agency responsible for
managing the activities described within ESF 6. Resources from the private sector will also be
applied to the response and recovery effort. In coordination with Renton Equity, Housing, and
Human Services, agreements with private sector entities may be established to include the
American Red Cross, the Salvation Army, and faith-based organizations such as Catholic
Community Services. Initial response activities will focus on meeting urgent needs of impacted
persons on a mass care basis with available resources. FEMA (the Federal Emergency
Management Agency) and other government and private agencies may provide disaster
assistance such as loans, grants, and temporary housing. Coordination of these assistance
programs will be administered by a long-term recovery team as described in the City of Renton
Recovery Framework.
As part of the NRF, the American Red Cross largely through the utilization of volunteers, plans
and prepares to support local jurisdictions in regional mass care needs. Renton Parks and
Recreation will coordinate with the American Red Cross in addition to local partners organized
through the Renton Community Organizations Active in Disaster (COAD), to facilitate delivery
of the following mass care services defined by the American Red Cross and supported by their
volunteers. Renton Parks and Recreation will be the primary department responsible for
coordinating the operation and delivery of the following efforts as they relate to ESF 6:
Sheltering
The primary mass care site will be the Renton Community Center, pending
inspection to confirm it is accessible, safe for occupancy, not at imminent risk
due to the primary hazard or secondary hazards (e.g., dam failure following
earthquake), has basic services (water, sewer, electricity, etc.) or an identified
replacement for such essentials. Renton Parks and Recreation may maintain an
alternate list of shelter sites and provide an Emergency Shelter Operations
Manual for those designated sites. The provision for emergency shelter includes
the use of designated shelter sites in existing structures, the construction of
temporary shelters, or designation of specially zoned areas to allow
residents to self-shelter in recreational vehicles or portable shelter
structures where permitted. It should be noted that in situations where self-
sheltering is undertaken by community members, the provision of sanitation and
other basic services may need to be arranged in order to prevent negative public
health consequences.
Types of shelters provided by the city or community partners may include
but are not limited to:
• General population shelters/dormitory
• Warming/cooling, day sheltering
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 121
• Disaster meal sites
• Special populations shelters
• Pet shelters
• Livestock shelters
• Medical needs shelters
• Mass care staff shelters
• Emergency responder shelters
The city may partner with other cities or King County to participate in regional
mass sheltering efforts or to support populations with medical, functional and/or
access needs. Although large congregate sheltering is less popular with
residents, due to anticipated staffing shortages with each city attempting to staff
their own shelters, regional sheltering offers an economy of scale which should
be considered. There will likely be additional transportation needed to support
access to a regional shelter.
The city will attempt to provide emergency shelter training for staff and
volunteers adhering to the standards set forth by the American Red Cross. Under
emergency circumstances, and in order to augment staffing, it may be necessary
to provide “just-in-time" training to meet the needs of the Renton community.
The capability of the American Red Cross to provide representation to the EOC is
not assumed.
Feeding
The provision for feeding the general public and emergency workers is through a
combination of fixed sites, mobile feeding units, and bulk food distribution. This
function is highly dependent on restoration of supply chains, as the city does not
maintain a stockpile of non-perishable foods.
Emergency First Aid
Emergency first aid services may be provided to impacted persons and workers
at mass care facilities and at designated sites within the affected area as
described in ESF 8, Health and Medical Services.
Disaster Welfare Information
Disaster welfare information regarding individuals residing within the affected
area will be collected and provided (as capabilities allow) to immediate family
members outside the area, through a disaster welfare information system,
coordinated through the American Red Cross. This will also help in the
reunification of family members within the area who were separated at the time
of the event.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 122
Bulk Distribution of Emergency Relief Items
Sites will be established within the affected area for distribution of emergency
relief items. The bulk distribution of these items may be accomplished regionally
and will be determined by the requirements to meet urgent needs of impacted
persons for essential items. The Emergency Feeding Program is currently
established as a fixed community point of distribution.
Transportation to Shelters
Facilitate providing transportation for the general population, including
individuals with functional and access needs that either do not have caretakers
or cannot otherwise provide their own transportation. Transportation for people
needing specialized transportation for medical needs will be coordinated
through ESF 8.
Animal Shelters
Adhering to the Renton Animal Sheltering Plan, domestic animal shelters may be
established at location(s) determined by the Renton Police depending on the
location and scope of the event. Renton Parks and Recreation will work in
concert with Equity, Housing, and Human Services for people who have pets but
that cannot be housed in the shelter by arranging housing vouchers with hotels
and apartments that allow pets. Livestock and non-domestic pet needs will be
coordinated with King County and the Washington State Animal Response Team
(WASART) to accommodate pet and animal shelters in the event of an
emergency.
Emergency Worker Care
The needs of emergency workers and the general population are often the same
during times of disaster. An emergency worker care program may be established
by Renton Parks and Recreation to meet these needs. This program will be
established with the guidance and assistance of the American Red Cross but will
not be dependent upon the American Red Cross for delivery.
Whole Community
The “Whole Community” includes individuals, families, households. communities, the private
and nonprofit sectors, faith-based organizations, and local, tribal, state, and Federal
governments. ESF 6 includes communicating with the Whole Community during Mass Care and
Human Service needs in preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation activities. The Whole
Community includes populations with Limited English Proficiency (LEP), individuals with
disabilities, and Access and Functional Needs (AFN).
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 123
ESF 6 has been reviewed by the Whole Community through a public input process that included
online (virtual) and in-person access.
Organization
The City of Renton Parks and Recreation Department is the lead agency responsible for
coordinating agencies and departments in preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation
actions as they relate to ESF 6. The Equity, Housing, and Human Services Department supports
these efforts alongside external agencies and partners such as the American Red Cross and
Community Organizations Active in Disasters (COAD). Within the Renton EOC, ESF 6 falls under
the Operations Section.
Notification
The ESF can be activated through several channels:
• Incident commander
• Mayor, city administrator, or designee
• Renton EOC Duty Officer or EOC Director
Activation may occur due to the severity of the event or perceived threat, unmitigated risk to
Renton community, in a planned event situation, or in support of mutual aid partners.
Information Collection
ESF 6 describes establishing providing life-sustaining and human services to the affected
population, to include hydration, feeding, sheltering, temporary housing, evacuee support,
reunification, and distribution of emergency supplies. There are Essential Elements of
Information (EEIs) which help guide the collection and dissemination of information.

Appendices
American Red Cross Regional Services Model
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 131
Appendix A:
American Red Cross Regional Services Model
As resources allow, and potentially in a regionalized model, provides the following
services:
• Food, Shelter, and Emergency Supplies: During a disaster, first priority is to
ensure that people have a safe place to stay, food, and emergency supplies. Red
Cross works with government and community partners to open shelters where
residents will find comfort with a hot meal, recovery information, and a place to
rest. For emergency workers and people returning to their homes, the Red Cross
mobilizes emergency response vehicles from which disaster workers distribute
food, water, and essential clean-up items that might not be immediately
available in the community.
• Welfare Information: Disasters often disrupt regular communication channels
and can separate families. Through the Red Cross’ nationwide network of
chapters, family members may request welfare information regarding their loved
ones. The Red Cross “Safe and Well” Web site enables people within a disaster
area to let their families and friends outside of the affected region know that
they are all right. Clients register on Safe and Well, by going to
http://redcross.org/safeandwell. Red Cross call agents at 1-800-RED-CROSSwill
register individuals without computers or connectivity.
• Client Casework and Recovery Planning and Assistance: To help people with
disaster-caused needs, Red Cross provides individualized client services through
casework. Particular attention is given to those who have experienced significant
damage or loss of their homes. This casework process consists of an in-depth
interview that allows the worker to assess the client’s immediate needs. With
this information, the caseworker can connect the client with items, financial
assistance and/or referrals to local resources which can meet those immediate
needs. The caseworker also engages the client in a brief planning process which
can help identify action steps for the client to follow in the first few days or
weeks after a disaster. Red Cross caseworkers work closely with local, state, and
federal government to ensure clients have access to all available resources.
• Disaster Health and Mental Health Services: After an emergency, injuries can
ensue, essential prescription medicines lost, and the shock and stress of sudden
loss can overwhelm a person’s normal coping skills. The Red Cross deploys
licensed health and mental health professionals who are specifically trained and
equipped for disaster responses to help. Disaster health professionals are
available for emergency first aid, medical assessment, triage, and replacement
of emergency medications. Our Disaster Health Services team meets these
needs through item distribution, financial assistance, or referrals to community
partners. Disaster mental health professionals in shelters and service locations

Introduction
Purpose
The purpose of Emergency Support Function (ESF) 7 is to coordinate the centralized
management of resources and logistics capabilities prior to, during, and after a disaster.
The following Core Capabilities support the roles and responsibilities of ESF 7. The primary and
supporting core capabilities are defined to support the execution of logistical operations for this
ESF as follows:
Primary Response Core Capability
Logistics & Supply
Chain Management
Deliver essential commodities, equipment, and services in support of
impacted communities and survivors, to include emergency power and fuel
support, as well as the coordination of access to community staples.
Synchronize logistics capabilities and enable the restoration of impacted

Conduct a systematic process engaging the whole community as appropriate
in the development of executable strategic, operational, and/or tactical-level
approaches to meet defined objectives.
Public Information
and Warning
Deliver coordinated, prompt, reliable, and actionable information to the
whole community through the use of clear, consistent, accessible, and
culturally and linguistically appropriate methods to effectively relay
information regarding any threat or hazard, as well as the actions being
taken, and the assistance being made available, as appropriate.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 135
Support Response Core Capabilities
Operational
Coordination
Establish and maintain a unified and coordinated operational structure and
process that appropriately integrates all critical stakeholders and supports
the execution of Core Capabilities.
Critical
Transportation
Provide transportation (including infrastructure access and accessible
transportation services) for response priority objectives, including the
evacuation of people and animals, and the delivery of vital response
personnel, equipment, and services into the affected areas.
Environmental
Response/Health
and Safety
Conduct appropriate measures to ensure the protection of the health and
safety of the public and workers, as well as the environment, from all
hazards in support of responder operations and the affected communities.
Mass Care Services
Provide life-sustaining and human services to the affected population, to
include hydration, feeding, sheltering, temporary housing, evacuee support,
reunification, and distribution of emergency supplies.
Operational
Communications
Ensure the capacity for timely communications in support of security,
situational awareness, and operations, by any and all means available,
among and between affected communities in the impact area and all
response forces.
Public Health,
Healthcare, and
Emergency Medical
Services
Provide lifesaving medical treatment via Emergency Medical Services and
related operations and avoid additional disease and injury by providing
targeted public health, medical, and behavioral health support, and products
to all affected populations.
Situational
Assessment
Provide all decision makers with decision-relevant information regarding the
nature and extent of the hazard, any cascading effects, and the status of the
response.
Authorities and Policies
As defined by the National Incident Management System (NIMS), resources include personnel,
teams, facilities, equipment, and supplies. All activities within ESF 7 will be conducted in
accordance with NIMS using the Incident Command System (ICS) structure. State law authorizes
local jurisdictions to establish local emergency management programs in accordance with the
state comprehensive emergency management plan and program (RCW 38.52). In carrying out
the provisions of this chapter, political subdivisions shall have the power to exercise powers
vested under said section in light of an emergency situation to include entering contracts or
provisions pertaining to the purchase and/or rental of equipment and materials (RCW
38.52.070). RCW 35A.33.146 outlines the creation of the contingency fund to meet any
municipal expense of which could not have been foreseen or reasonably evaluated preceding
the budget year.
In accordance with RCW 35A.33.080, the city council is granted the authority to approve
expenditures without public notice or hearing. Under the policy direction of the mayor, the
Logistics and Finance Sections within the Renton EOC are responsible for city emergency
procurements. The Logistics Section of the Renton EOC has the responsibility for locating and
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 136
ordering resources. The Renton EOC Finance and Administration Section will offer support,
documentation, and handle actual purchase arrangements in the process. This information will
be coordinated with the Renton Finance Department in order to maintain required
documentation.
The Regional Coordination Framework for Disasters and Planned Events for Public and Private
Organizations in King County, Washington (RCF) to which the City of Renton is a signatory,
provides a legal and financial agreement between signatory partners when resources are
requested. This financial agreement, when invoked, supersedes other financial arrangements
which may govern normal response operations and resource sharing between jurisdictions. It
also describes the resource management and procurement process coordinated by King County
Emergency Management when local city resources are insufficient to meet the demands of the
incident.
Within the City of Renton, departments and their divisions may utilize their own resources or
mutual aid agreements before requesting outside resources. It is not necessary to wait to make
a request for outside resources until the city is already out of resources. The request may be
initiated earlier to coordinate delivery of outside resources to arrive at the point in time when
exhaustion of city resources is anticipated. Lastly, identified volunteers supporting the EOC
within the ESF 7 function will be registered as Emergency Workers in accordance with WAC
118.04 and RCW 38.52.
Situation Overview
A significant emergency or disaster may damage or limit the existing resources needed to
maintain vital city services or to care for the general public in need of disaster assistance. The
city may not have all the resources required, either in type or quantity, to respond to a disaster.
These insufficiencies may be created by one or more of the following conditions:
o The extent of the damage overwhelms available resources.
o Normally available resources are damaged, lost, or unable to be moved from one
place to another due to the incident.
o The nature of the event requires resources not normally used within the city.
o Personnel are injured or unable to report to work due to impacts of the emergency
or disaster.
o Disruptions in the vendor supply chain and/or increased regional demand may
make regularly available resources unavailable or in short supply.
Resource support involves the procurement and allocation of resources beyond normal day to
day operations. These resources include equipment, materials, facilities, contracted services,
supplies, and personnel required to support the city's departments during the response and
recovery phases of an emergency or disaster. Resource replacement or supplementation will
likely need to come from outside sources. Certain disasters may significantly impact
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 137
transportation infrastructure and/or vendor operations and may inhibit the availability and flow
of resources into and within the city. Outside resources may not be immediately available.
Depending upon the area affected by the disaster, resources may have to be procured from out
of state. The normal process is to request resources first from King County Emergency
Management, which will attempt to fill the request with local resources or elevate a request to
the state. However, cities in Washington can make requests directly to the state. Resource
support may continue until the demobilization or disposition of all resources is complete.
Refer to the Renton Annex within the King County Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan for details
on hazards as well as risk assessments.
Concept of Operations
The management and organization of resources to include personnel, teams, facilities,
equipment, and supplies is primarily coordinated through this ESF. Department and EOC
resource lists and directories will be used to identify locations within the city, as well as
vendors, suppliers, or other outside sources where resources may be procured to replace or
supplement those needed to fulfill the responsibilities of this ESF. Whenever possible,
resources should be procured from Renton businesses.
Internal Operations
City departments will first utilize normal procedures for their day to day or mutual aid
resources before requesting outside assistance. Renton Finance may assist departments by
providing procedural guidance for emergency resource procurement. The Policy Advisory
Group, in consultation with Renton Finance, will provide policy guidance on financial limits
which may be applied to resource procurement.
Department Operations Centers (DOC) may be established by any department in order to
manage the dispatch and coordination of department-controlled or related resources. A DOC
will maintain close communication with the Incident Commander and/or the City of Renton
EOC regarding incident priorities and resources status to ensure overall incident objectives are
met. Any procurement done at the DOC level needs to be coordinated with the Finance
Department which maintains all procurement documentation for the incident.
Supporting agencies and departments of this ESF assist by providing department resources,
procurement lists, and personnel to staff the ESF 7 function in the EOC. Personnel within non-
mission critical functions in their own city departments may be reallocated to disaster
assignments as needed.
Renton EOC Operations
Renton EOC procedures identify the process for the emergency procurement of resources. The
Logistics Section of the Renton EOC is responsible for the locating and ordering of emergency
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 138
resources. The Finance and Administration Section may offer support to document the resource
procurement process and handle the actual purchasing/payment for the transaction.
In a single incident response, emergency resource requests may be handled through the field
Incident Command organization but may be delegated to the Renton EOC at the discretion of
the Incident Commander. When multiple incidents occur simultaneously, as in a regional
disaster, and a field Incident Command structure has not been established to embrace the
scope of the entire emergency, emergency resource requests may coordinate through the
Renton EOC, or if not activated, through the Renton EOC Duty Officer. Lastly, Emergency
Management will work with the Greater Renton Community Organizations Active in Disaster
(COAD) to identify organizations which may be able to provide additional resources for recovery
efforts.
Whole Community
The “Whole Community” includes individuals, families, households, communities, the private
and nonprofit sectors, faith-based organizations, and local, tribal, state, and federal
governments. ESF 7 includes communicating with the Whole Community during Logistics and
Resource preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation activities. The Whole Community
includes populations with Limited English Proficiency (LEP), individuals with disabilities, and
Access and Functional Needs (AFN).
ESF 7 has been reviewed by the Whole Community through a public input process that included
online (virtual) and in-person access.
Organization
Renton Executive Services Department is responsible for the centralized management and
coordination of Logistics and Resource Support within the jurisdiction. ESF 7 will be represented
in the Renton EOC under the Logistics Section and coordinated by the Logistics Section Chief
when the City of Renton EOC is activated. If the City of Renton EOC is not activated, the Renton
EOC Duty Officer may perform this coordination. Personnel assigned to the Renton EOC will be
trained to the Renton credentialing system and regionally agreed upon training requirements
for supporting King County and other jurisdiction’s EOCs.
The Logistics Section is responsible for coordination of the Renton EOC emergency or disaster
resource requests and procurement. The Finance and Administration Section is responsible for
the contracts and documentation of resources procured through the Renton EOC as well as
spending limits and payment options. Procedures to provide projected or anticipated costs,
reimbursement procedures, as well as processes for recordkeeping can be referenced using the
Renton EOC SOPs for Finance/Administration and Logistics sections. The Policy Advisory Group,
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 139
in concert with Renton Finance Department will establish limits and guidance on resource
procurement parameters if needed.
Individual departments will determine quantities and use of equipment, personnel and supplies
based on need. The Emergency Management Director may hold a briefing during the response
and recovery phases of an emergency or disaster to assist in determining departments’ needs
as well as determine the necessity of Renton EOC activation.
The City of Renton Parks and Recreation Department will serve as a liaison to assist in the
coordination and registration of civilian volunteers within the city per Chapter 118-04 WAC,
Emergency Worker Program and Chapter 38.52 RCW. Renton HRRM will coordinate the overall
reassignment and deployment of non-mission-critical personnel from city departments as
requested by the City of Renton EOC.
Notification
This ESF can be activated through the Renton EOC Duty Officer, Renton EOC Director,
Department Operation Centers, or an Incident Commander. Activation may occur due to the
severity of the event or perceived threat; unmitigated risk to the Renton community; or in
support of mutual aid partners.

Authorities and Policies
The Renton Regional Fire Authority (RFA) will operate under the King County Comprehensive
Emergency Management Plan, ESF 8 for disaster related health and medical services and the
Renton Regional Fire Authority Mass Casualty Incident (MCI) Plan. The Incident Command
System (ICS) should be used in any size or type of disaster to manage response personnel,
facilities, and equipment. Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) or other responders who
provide emergency medical assistance in the City of Renton shall operate under 2023 EMT King
County Patient Care Guidelines. The City of Renton and Renton RFA will use mutual aid
agreements when the city’s resources are depleted or committed. An MCI may be declared to
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 149
allow Emergency Medical Services (EMS) personnel to follow the established written
emergency protocols as referenced in the Seattle-King County MCI Plan. Primary and
supporting agencies will follow the guidelines and policies also stated in the King County EMS
Protocol, the Pre-Hospital Emergency Triage and Treatment Annex to the Puget Sound Regional
Catastrophic Disaster Coordination Plan, and the Victim Information and Family Assistance
Annex to the Puget Sound Regional Catastrophic Disaster Coordination Plan.
Situation Overview
Emergencies or disasters may occur in a local jurisdiction at any time causing significant human
suffering, injury and death, public and private property damage, environmental degradation,
economic hardship to business, families, and individuals, and disruption of local government.
Hazards such as an epidemic, disease outbreaks, or chemical and radiation emergencies may
also cause significant impacts on the overall health of the population. The City of Renton may
seek county, state, and Federal public medical care assistance in the event that a natural, man-
made, or technological disaster exceeds local resources.
Hospitals, nursing homes, pharmacies and other medical or health care facilities may be
structurally damaged or destroyed. Those facilities that survive with little or no structural
damage may be rendered unusable or only partially usable because of interruption of utilities
(power, water, sewer), or the inability of staff to report for duty. Medical and health care
facilities that remain operational and have the necessary utilities and staff may be
overwhelmed by the "walking wounded" and/or other seriously injured patients who are
transported to these facilities in the immediate aftermath of an emergency or disaster. Medical
supplies and equipment will likely be in short supply. Most health care facilities maintain only
inventory stock to meet their short-term (24 to 36 hours) normal patient load needs.
Disruptions in local communications and transportation systems could prevent timely resupply.
Uninjured persons who require daily medications such as insulin, antihypertensive drugs, and
other lifesaving and health protecting medications may have difficulty in obtaining these
medications because of damage or destruction of transportation and distribution routes,
normal supply locations, and general shortages within the disaster area. Patients who are
dependent on critical medical services, such as kidney dialysis or chemotherapy, may also be
put at risk by the interruption to medical supply chains, staffing shortages, or compromised
facilities.
Public Health Agencies, healthcare facilities, and EMS will deliver medical countermeasures to
exposed populations and complete triage and initial stabilization of casualties while beginning
definitive care for those likely to survive injury and/or illness. In the unfortunate event of loss of
life, fatality management services may include proper recovery, handling, identification,
transportation, tracking, storage, and final disposition of human remains and effects.
Additionally, these agencies will mobilize and/or request all critical resources to establish
command, control, and coordination within the affected communities to meet basic human
needs, stabilize the incident, and transition to recovery.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 150
Concept of Operations
It is likely that public demand for health information and health and medical services will
increase during disasters. Primary and secondary agencies will coordinate information and work
to identify, manage, and obtain medical resources including but not limited to medications,
supplies, equipment, transportation, facilities, and staffing. Collaboration with local and county
Emergency Operating Centers (EOCs) to provide logistical support for medical needs shelters,
alternate care facilities, medication centers, mortuary operations, family assistance centers,
and other field response locations will be essential.
Public Health, Mortuary and Medical Services
• The provision of basic and advanced life support services shall be provided per existing
standard operating procedures, patient care guidelines, and treatment/transfer
protocols as promulgated or coordinated by the Emergency Medical Services Division of
Public Health – Seattle & King County.
• Activation of the health and medical Joint Information System (JIS) may be needed to
coordinate the content and timing for release of accurate and consistent health and
medical information to the public, media, and community response partners.
• Resources within the affected area may be inadequate to transport casualties from the
scene or treat them in local hospitals. Additional medical capabilities will urgently be
needed to supplement and assist in triage and treat casualties in the affected area and
to transport to the closest appropriate hospital or other health care facility. Medical
resupply will be needed throughout the event area.
• The Incident Commander will establish the overall health and medical response and
recovery objectives.
• The damage and destruction caused by a natural or technological event will produce
urgent needs for mental health crisis counseling for victims, their families, and
emergency responders.
• Health and medical services will be restored during the recovery period as soon as
practical and within the limitations and capabilities allowed of affected agencies.
• Primary agencies will lead investigations into the cause and manner of death resulting
from an emergency or disaster.
• Public health emergencies may require implementation of public health measures to
contain and control communicable diseases or spread of environmental hazards.
• The Renton EOC may need to support the coordination of the blood distribution system
through Bloodwork Northwest.
• Implement local medication distribution strategies directed by the Local Health Officer.
• Public health emergencies may require implementation of public health measures to
oversee regional health and medical surge capacity measures associated with added
capacity or mobilization of volunteer personnel and manage communicable disease and
environmental health investigation and mitigation.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 151
• Support of recovery activities aimed at restoring health and medical services to pre-
event status.
Mass Care Services
• The American Red Cross may support the Emergency Medical Services response with
additional resources within the scope of their mission and as resources are available.
• Renton Parks and Recreation may work to identify potential shelter and mass care sites
within the City of Renton.
• Renton Parks and Recreation may coordinate the provision of emergency care at
shelters and congregate care facilities.
• Renton community members who are seniors, children, disabled, homeless, non-English
speakers, low-income or otherwise in need of ongoing support, will be more vulnerable
during and after an emergency. A partnership approach will be needed between
government, private industry, volunteer agencies and the media to ensure essential
health-related information and services reach vulnerable residents during an
emergency.
• The use of gymnasiums and community centers as temporary, alternate care facilities,
and family assistance centers may be necessary. Warehouses or airport hangars may be
used as temporary morgues as needed by the King County Medical Examiner.
Environmental Response
• Damage to chemical and industrial plants, sewer lines and water distribution systems,
along with secondary hazards such as fires, may result in toxic environmental and public
health hazards to the surviving population and response personnel.
• Disruption of sanitation services and facilities, loss of power, and mass congregating of
people in shelters may increase the potential for disease and injury.
• Hazardous materials incidents will present unique problems to patient care as the
patients themselves may be contaminated and considered hazardous. Damages to the
transportation systems may delay medical transports and outside assistance from other
agencies. Impacted drinking and wastewater systems may complicate health care and
possibly add to the victim or patient totals.
Whole Community
The “Whole Community” includes individuals, families, households, communities, the private
and nonprofit sectors, faith-based organizations, and local, tribal, state, and Federal
governments. ESF 8 includes communicating with the Whole Community during public health,
mortuary, and medical response, recovery, and mitigation activities. The Whole Community
includes populations with Limited English Proficiency (LEP), individuals with disabilities, and
Access and Functional Needs (AFN).

Introduction
Purpose
The purpose of Emergency Support Function (ESF) 9 is to coordinate the rapid deployment of
search and rescue resources to provide specialized life-saving assistance and for the
coordination and effective utilization of all available resources in the conduct of Search and
Rescue (SAR) operations, including:
• Structural collapse (urban) search and rescue.
• Maritime/coastal/waterborne search and rescue.
• Land search and rescue.
The National Response Framework (NRF) covers Disaster SAR, specifically operations following
a presidential disaster declaration, and provides information on Urban Search and Rescue
(US&R), maritime/waterborne SAR and Land SAR.
The following Core Capabilities support the roles and responsibilities of ESF 9. The primary and
supporting core capabilities are defined to support the execution of Search and Rescue
operations for this ESF as follows:
Primary Response Core Capability
Mass Search and
Rescue Operations
Deliver traditional and atypical search and rescue capabilities, including
personnel, services, animals, and assets to survivors I need, with the goal of
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)

Primary Response Core Capability
saving the greatest number of endangered lives in the shortest time
possible.
Support Response Core Capabilities
Planning Conduct a systematic process engaging the whole community as appropriate
in the development of executable strategic, operational, and/or tactical-level
approaches to meet defined objectives.
Public Information
and Warning
Deliver coordinated, prompt, reliable, and actionable information to the
whole community through the use of clear, consistent, accessible, and
culturally and linguistically appropriate methods to effectively relay
information regarding any threat or hazard, as well as the actions being
taken, and the assistance being made available, as appropriate.
Operational
Coordination
Establish and maintain a unified and coordinated operational structure and
process that appropriately integrates all critical stakeholders and supports
the execution of Core Capabilities.
Environmental
Response/Health and
Safety
Conduct appropriate measures to ensure the protection of the health and
safety of the public and workers, as well as the environment, from all
hazards in support of responder operations and the affected communities.
Fatality Management
Services
Provide fatality management services, including decedent remains recovery
and victim identification, and work with local, state, tribal, territorial, insular
area, and Federal authorities to provide mortuary processes, temporary
storage, or permanent internment solutions, sharing information with mass
care services for the purpose of reunifying family members and caregivers
with missing persons/remains, and providing counseling to the bereaved.
Operational
Communications
Ensure the capacity for timely communications in support of security,
situational awareness, and operations, by any and all means available,
among and between affected communities in the impact area and all
response forces.
Public Health,
Healthcare, and
Emergency Medical
Services
Provide lifesaving medical treatment via Emergency Medical Services and
related operations and avoid additional disease and injury by providing
targeted public health, medical, and behavioral health support, and products
to all affected populations.
Situational
Assessment
Provide all decision makers with decision-relevant information regarding the
nature and extent of the hazard, any cascading effects, and the status of the
response.
Authorities and Policies
State law encompasses both wildland and disaster search and rescue within the definition of
land search and rescue, RCW 38.52.010 Section 7. The Federal government separates the two
and covers wildland search and rescue in the National Search and Rescue Plan, and disaster
search and rescue, specifically urban search, and rescue, in the National Response Framework.
In the event of a catastrophic incident, local authorities may be overwhelmed and in
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 162
accordance with RCW 38.52.050, it may be necessary for the State Emergency Operations
Center (SEOC) to assume operational coordination of SAR operations until such time as local
authorities regain control.
• Land search and rescue operations are primarily initiated, conducted, and directed by
the City of Renton Police Department.
• Water search and rescue operations are primarily initiated, conducted, and directed by
the Renton Regional Fire Authority.
• Air search and rescue for missing for downed civil aircraft is the responsibility of the
Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) as defined by Chapter 47.68
RCW and Chapter 468.200 WAC.
Situation Overview
The wide range of and easy access to outdoor recreational activities in the City of Renton and
the large number of people who participate in those activities results in a significant number of
lost, injured, killed, or in need of rescue every year. Incidents involving lost or missing children
and the elderly in urban/suburban areas are also increasing. The City of Renton is vulnerable to
airline crashes, terrorist activities, earthquakes, floods, landslides, and severe weather. Such
disasters can result in large, multi-jurisdictional search and rescue operations. A major
earthquake, for instance, would trigger search and rescue operations involving Renton Regional
Fire Authority (RFA) personnel, City of Renton personnel, statewide search and rescue
volunteers, the Washington National Guard, responders from neighboring jurisdictions, federal
response agencies including the military, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) Task Forces.
SAR missions involving searches in urban and suburban areas will increase as the population
and recreational opportunities continue to grow. Natural and technological disasters will
potentially cause great damage to the transportation system causing delayed outside
resources, and thus will increase the scope and urgency of SAR operations. The widely differing
terrain and climatic conditions in the state mandate a locally based SAR first response system.
Concept of Operations
Land search and rescue operations are primarily initiated, coordinated, and directed by the City
of Renton Police Department in accordance with state and local jurisdiction plans using local
resources registered in accordance with Chapter 118-04 WAC. Requests for additional
resources, including special skills, expertise, or equipment are coordinated through the Renton
EOC and the Renton RFA Department Operations Center (DOC) when requested. Land search
and rescue services may be requested through Valley Communications Center from King County
Dispatch (King County Sheriff’s Office), the King County Emergency Operations Center (KC EOC),
Washington State Emergency Management Division, or the City of Renton Emergency
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 163
Operations Center (EOC). The National Incident Management System will be utilized for the on-
scene management of search and rescue operations within the City of Renton.
Land SAR
o Renton Police will request search and rescue resources when requested by the on-scene
incident commander, via the Valley Communications Center from King County Dispatch.
o Renton Public Works is responsible for providing heavy equipment in support of search
and rescue operations.
o Renton Community and Economic Development will provide technical advice concerning
building safety and structural stability, as requested.
o The Washington State Emergency Operations Center (WA SEOC) Alert and Warning
Center (AWC) will issue a state mission number when notified of a SAR mission by an
authorized official. The issuance of this mission number authorizes the employment of
local volunteers under the provisions and protection of Chapter 38.52 RCW.
o The WA SEOC, upon receiving a request for assistance from an authorized official, will
coordinate the resources in support of meeting the needs of the requesting jurisdiction.
The State SAR Coordinator may be deployed to the scene to provide this coordination.
Air SAR
o Air search and rescue for missing or downed civil aviation aircraft is the responsibility of
Washington State Department of Transportation, Aviation Division (Chapter 47.68 RCW).
o The Washington State Emergency Management Division will issue a mission number to
an authorized official in response to a downed or missing aircraft and will coordinate this
with the Washington State Department of Transportation, Aviation Division. The Aviation
Division Incident Commander may obtain the mission number on behalf of the City of
Renton in order to facilitate response.
o Upon location of downed aircraft, the incident becomes a land search and rescue
operation under the direction and control of Renton Police. The Washington State
Department of Transportation Aviation Division Incident Commander provides support as
available, and the National Transportation Safety Board and Federal Aviation
Administration assume responsibility for the crash site for investigatory purposes.
Maritime/Coastal/Waterborne SAR
o Water search and rescue operations are primarily initiated, coordinated, and directed by
the Renton Regional Fire Authority.
o Renton Regional Fire Authority requests search and rescue services through zone
coordinator and/or dispatch for additional resources.

Introduction
Purpose
The purpose of Emergency Support Function (ESF) 10 is to identify and designate local
jurisdictional roles and responsibilities for managing emergent hazardous material incidents
and other unanticipated releases within the City of Renton. Activities set forth in ESF 10
endeavor to minimize exposure and damage to human health and safety caused by the actual
or threatened release of hazardous materials and other releases. ESF 10 aims to protect
emergency responders and the populace in affected areas, and to minimize damage to the
environment from the adverse effects of a hazardous materials incident in the City of Renton.
The following Core Capabilities support the roles and responsibilities of ESF 10. The primary and
supporting core capabilities are defined to support the execution of Search and Rescue
operations for this ESF as follows:

among and between affected communities in the impact area and all
response forces.
Situational
Assessment
Provide all decision makers with decision-relevant information regarding the
nature and extent of the hazard, any cascading effects, and the status of the
response.
Authorities and Policies
In 1986 Congress enacted the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act (EPCRA)
as part of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) due to public concern
regarding the environmental and safety hazards posed by the storage and handling of toxic
chemicals. This act, known as SARA Title III, established requirements for Federal, state, tribal
and local governments to provide guidance for off-site emergency planning and notification to
minimize exposure and/or damage to human health and safety or to the environment. This
mandates that every facility using, storing, or manufacturing hazardous chemicals make public
its inventory and report every release of a hazardous chemical to public officials and health
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 170
personnel. Clean-up and disposal measures must be coordinated between the responsible party
and city, state, or Federal regulatory agencies affiliated, or private clean-up and disposal
contractors as determined by the nature and severity of the release. The King County Local
Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC), to which the City of Renton belongs, plans for
hazardous materials emergencies by collecting information from public and private
organizations with chemical inventories. This is required under the SARA Title III/EPCRA
Program.
The Revised Code of Washington Title 70.136.010 outlines the intent of the legislature to
promote and encourage advance planning, cooperation, and mutual assistance between
applicable political subdivision of the state and persons with equipment, personnel, and
expertise in the handling of hazardous materials incidents, by establishing limitations on liability
for those persons responding in accordance with the provision of RCW 70.136.020 through
70.136.070. Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 118-40 covers hazardous chemical
emergency response planning and community Right-To-Know reporting. Occupational Safety
and Health Administration (OSHA) regulation 29CFR 1910.120 (q), WAC 296-305-03002, and
WAC 296-824 identifies the training levels for hazardous materials response teams. This is the
minimum level of training provided to the Renton Regional Fire Authority Hazardous Materials
Response Team. This specialized team is trained to the technician level and there are a
minimum of 2 Hazmat technicians staffed with the Renton RFA each day.
The guidelines established in the Renton Regional Fire Authority (RFA) and Zone 3 Hazardous
Materials Providers Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) may be followed in responding to a
hazardous material incident. This may include activation of the Renton RFA Department
Operating Center (DOC) to establish operational control depending on the size and complexity
of the incident. All activities within ESF 10 will be conducted in accordance with the National
Incident Management System (NIMS) and will utilize the Incident Command System (ICS).
Priority shall be given to life safety, incident stabilization, property conservation, and then
environmental and economic considerations, in that order. In the event the Renton RFA has
exhausted all resources through mutual aid agreements, the Zone 3 HazMat Providers
Emergency Response Plan and King County Regional Coordination Framework for Disasters and
Planned Events for Public and Private Organizations may be activated.
The City of Renton Emergency Operations Center (EOC), if activated, will be informed when
resources are reasonably expected to be exhausted and logistical support is requested. The
Renton EOC will communicate critical resource updates to the Policy Advisory Group if policy
level decisions are required in the continued management of the incident.
Valley Communications Center is the designated public safety answering point (E 9-1-1 dispatch

AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 172
Situation Overview
Renton has a mix of land uses throughout the city. Industrial and commercial uses are located
primarily in the Green River valley and downtown areas of Renton. The city center area includes
mixed-use residential and commercial land, with both single and multi-family homes. Single
family residences dominate the eastern and southeastern portions of the city, where most
residential growth is still occurring. In addition, there are pockets of mixed-use commercial
centers aimed at providing services for residents along the eastern edges of the city.
The geographic and economic characteristics of Renton make it likely that hazardous materials
releases will occur and may develop slowly or occur without warning. Incidents may occur as a
result of human error, natural hazards such as earthquakes, deliberate deed such as terrorism
or illegal activity, or a breakdown in equipment or monitoring systems. Potentially harmful
chemicals are used for a wide variety of operations and are stored, used in, and travel through
Renton on a regular basis via highways, rail lines, and/or pipelines. The likelihood of a
hazardous materials release may increase through events or threats such as flooding, a pipeline
rupture, or illegal lab dumping.
These chemicals can be hazardous to humans or the environment if used or released
improperly. Hazardous materials in various forms can cause death, serious injury, long-lasting
health effects, and damage to buildings and the environment. The number and severity of
major incidents can be minimized by prevention programs. The impact depends upon the
quantity and physical properties of the hazardous material, environmental and weather factors
at the point of release, the type of release and its proximity to human and wildlife populations
and valuable ecosystems. Hazardous materials may be explosive, flammable, combustible,
corrosive, reactive, poisonous, or radioactive, as well as in solid, liquid, or gaseous form.
Business types that commonly use hazardous materials locally include hospitals, schools, metal
plating and finishing, aircraft manufacturing, public utilities, cold storage companies, fuel
industry, communication industry, research facilities, and high technology firms. SARA Title
III/EPCRA facilities are required to maintain plans for warning, notification, evacuation, and site
security under numerous regulations. Copies are filed with the Renton RFA.
Actual or threatened releases of hazardous materials often require immediate response. The
coordination of emergency response operations to hazardous material incidents may require
multi-agency and multi-disciplinary responses. Disciplines involved may include hazardous
materials technicians, firefighters, emergency medical service providers, law enforcement,
environmental containment and clean-up specialists, fish and wildlife experts, and
environmental/public health. Most hazardous material incidents are minor in scope and can be
handled by trained facility personnel and/or the Renton RFA Hazardous Materials Response
Team. However, the potential exists for a large-scale incident, which would require multiple
resources and the need for mass evacuation of downwind populations or sheltering in place.
Incident commanders are required to utilize their local mutual aid resources and request
activation of their county plan before requesting regional assistance. Requesting and
coordinating regional fire resources is ultimately accomplished by the Renton RFA Duty Chief.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 173
Concept of Operations
The Renton RFA has the primary responsibility for protecting life, the environment, and
property threatened by hazardous materials incidents, except where this has been specifically
preempted by state or federal laws or regulations. For a large-scale incident, the Renton RFA is
signatory to a countywide mutual aid agreement which is defined as the King County Interlocal
Agreement (KC ILA) for Mutual Aid.
The agency with primary authority is dependent on the location of the event. The Renton RFA is
the Incident Command Agency for the City of Renton under Chapter 70.136.030 RCW. When an
incident occurs on a state highway, the Washington State Patrol will establish a Unified
Command System with surrounding fire departments, emergency medical services, and other
state and federal agencies.
To manage and support complex or significant field incidents including but not limited to
Hazardous Materials emergencies, the Fire Chief or designee will activate the RFA Department
Operations Center (DOC). The RFA Duty Chief or on-duty South Battalion Chief/Safety Officer
will be an overall coordinator of fire service activities and organize resources with the Fire Zone
3 Coordinator, the King County Fire Coordinator, and ultimately the South Puget Sound
Regional Fire Coordinator through the Valley Communications Dispatch Center. RRFA is also a
participant in the Zone 3 Fire Operations Chief Coordinators, for larger-scale incidents.
The Renton RFA DOC will coordinate with the field command post and the City of Renton EOC
as necessary. The primary location of the RFA DOC is Renton RFA Station 13 (Headquarters).
The back-up location will be Renton RFA Station 12 which is the same location as the City of
Renton EOC when activated. An alternate location will be the City of Renton Public Works
building.
Communications will be through established channels. The primary mode of emergency
communications would take place on the Puget Sound Emergency Radio Network (PSERN) radio
communications system. Secondary communications are outlined in RRFA Communication
Guide and include site trunking, State Ops frequency on the PSERN system, VHF radios, Mobile
Data Computer (MDC), pagers and amateur radios (ham radios).
Hazardous materials emergencies involve the organization and management of fire department
resources to mitigate hazardous materials of all types, kinds, and complexities while protecting
the lives, environment, and property in the affected area. Renton RFA has a Hazardous
Materials Response Team (HMRT) trained to the technician level to mitigate these incidents.
Larger incidents may require the resource assistance of other agencies through the countywide
mutual aid agreement and the Zone 3 Hazardous Materials Response Plan.
The resources and logistics utilized to mitigate hazardous materials incidents depend on the
severity of the emergency and the level of training of fire department personnel. Renton RFA
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 174
follows a three-tiered approach that directly correlates to the three levels of training of
responding units that are described below:
• Awareness level: Awareness level responders are those personnel who, in the course of
their normal duties, could encounter an emergency involving hazardous materials/
weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and be expected to recognize the presence of the
hazardous materials/WMD, protect themselves, understand risks and potential
outcomes, call for assistance, and secure the scene. This is a defensive action.
• Operations level: Operations level responders are personnel who respond to hazardous
materials/WMD incidents for the purpose of implementing or supporting actions to
protect people, property, and the environment from the effects of a release. They are
trained to respond in a defensive fashion, which may include attempts to confine,
contain or otherwise control the release without coming into contact with the
material/product. All members of Renton RFA are trained to this level which includes
gross decontamination procedures in the warm zone.
• Technician level: Technician level responders are personnel who respond to a hazardous
materials/WMD incident using a risk-based response process to analyze the situation
involving hazardous materials/WMD, identify the unknown material, select applicable
decontamination procedures, and contain/control the release using specialized
protective clothing and control equipment. They will approach the point of release in
order to plug, patch or otherwise stop the release of a hazardous substance. This is
considered an offensive action in the hot zone and only performed by HazMat
technicians. All members of Renton RFAs Hazardous Materials Response Team are
trained to this level.
Procedures
Based on the Hazardous Materials Response Plan and Procedures, the response will vary
dependent upon the location and magnitude of the hazardous materials release and the
population impact. Response and recovery efforts include containing and controlling the
release, warning the public, request for assistance, notification of state and federal agencies,
restoration of businesses and requests for cleanup resources. Additionally, requests for
recovery of response and cleanup costs and monitoring the site may be necessary.
The Renton RFA policies and procedures outline mutual aid partners and DOC guidelines to be
used for large-scale incidents. Within these policies are hazardous materials specific standard
operating procedures (SOPs) written to support Renton RFA’s hazardous materials response,
including releases because of disasters. Additionally, the King County Fire Chiefs Model
Procedures outline countywide hazardous material specific policies that all fire agencies in King
County follow. These specific SOPs and procedures are listed in the References section at the
end of this document.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 175

Historical Information
• On December 28, 2002, a spill of 1,465 gallons of trans-mix occurred at the Renton
Control Center (2319 Line Ave SW). This spill was caused by equipment failure and went
into a containment vault. No oil was released into the environment.
• On May 23, 2004, a breach in a 3/8-inch sampler line caused a release of 1,890 gallons
of gasoline, also at the Renton Control Center. The gasoline subsequently caught fire
and burned the sampling shed. Some of the gasoline was released to the environment.
Pipeline incidents are the results of a rupture or break in a pipeline that causes a spill and
sometimes a fire or explosion. The hazardous liquids spilled from the pipeline can damage
streams, rivers, and other sensitive areas. Ignition of the hazardous liquids from the pipeline
can damage sensitive areas, habitat, and residential and commercial property.

Authorities and Policies
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 191
The City of Renton may provide emergency organization and resources to minimize the effects
of incidents, prepare to respond to disaster situations; maximize population survival, preserve
property, and recovery that will ensure the orderly and fast return to normal community life in
the event of a natural or technological disaster. City of Renton will make every effort to educate
its staff, communities, and businesses in their individual responsibility to provide for and/or
secure their own safe food and water for at least two weeks following a disaster.
This Plan may be supplemented by the King County Comprehensive Emergency Management
Plan, the Puget Sound Regional Coordination Plan and Annexes, the Washington State
Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan, and other applicable plans. All operations will
function in concert with the National Incident Management System (NIMS) to assure a
comprehensive approach to emergency management is achieved.
The following policies and authorities from the state of Washington apply to the execution of
ESF 11:
Revised Code of Washington (RCW)
• RCW 27.44: Indian Graves and Records
Procedures for responding to discoveries of human skeletal remains; penalties for
known disturbance of Native Indian cairns, graves, and rock markings.
• RCW 27.53: Archaeological Sites and Resources
Penalties for disturbing known archaeological sites on either public or private land
Washington Advisory Code (WAC)
• WAC 16-25: Disposal of Dead Livestock.
State Veterinarian has the authority to specify the method of disposal and place
additional requirements for the disposal of carcasses of livestock animals that die of
disease or are euthanized to prevent the spread of disease.
• WAC 246-291-125: Groundwater Source Approval.
Drinking water shall be obtained from the highest quality source feasible.
• Federal Public Law: Pets Evacuation and Transportation Standards Act of 2006
• Authorizes FEMA to provide rescue, care, shelter, and essential needs for individuals
with household pets and service animals, and to the household pets and animals
themselves following a major disaster or emergency.
Situation Overview
Emergencies or disasters may occur in a local jurisdiction at any time causing significant human
suffering, injury, and death; public and private property damage; environmental degradation;
economic hardship to businesses, families, and individuals; and disruption of local government.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 192
The King County Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan identifies the natural and technological
emergencies or disasters the City of Renton may experience. Specific hazards that may severely
impact the City of Renton’s agriculture and natural resources includes landslides, flooding,
earthquakes, wildfires, and hazardous materials spills, to name a few.
The City of Renton has numerous developments including a downtown core, sprawling
suburban housing, parks and trails, rivers, lake front, open space, and forested areas. Natural,
cultural, or historic preservation and restoration issues may arise during an emergency or as a
result of a disaster. Areas covered include terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems; biological
resources, including fish and wildlife; threatened and endangered species, migratory birds;
historic and prehistoric resources; mapping and geospatial data; geology; hydrology, including
real-time water flow data; data on earthquakes and other natural hazards; on- and offshore
minerals; energy; and coal mining.
During the first 72 hours of an emergency, shelters and individuals are expected to rely on their
own resources, and those available in their immediate area, for food and water. The city has
limited experience in coordinating the distribution of foods, water, and donated goods in large
quantities and will rely upon the expertise of outside agencies and organizations to accomplish
these tasks whenever possible.
Early in the course of the event, little information will be available, and information may be
vague and inaccurate. No guarantee is implied by this plan. Because assets and personnel may
be overwhelmed, the city and county can only endeavor to make every reasonable effort to
respond to a hazardous event based on the situation, information, and resources available at
that time.
Concept of Operations
ESF 11 describes the management, safe handling and distribution of food and water for the
needs of large groups of people within the City of Renton during and immediately after a major
emergency or disaster. It also addresses the safety and well-being of household pets and
livestock, and the protection of natural, cultural, and historic properties within this jurisdiction.
• ESF 11 facilitates multiagency planning and coordination in the pre-incident phase in
order to pre-position assets or to place assets on alert for quick turnaround.
• During the response phase, ESF 11 transitions and is responsible for operational
coordination, logistics and supply chain management for mass care services, and
situational awareness.
Nutrition and Food Assistance
A significant emergency or disaster may deprive substantial numbers of residents of the ability
to prepare or gain access to safe and reliable supplies of food and water. Congregate care
feeding areas will be the primary locations for the distribution of food and water supplies.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 193
Food warehouses located in the city are not available for the sole use of the city and must be
considered a regional resource. If not handled properly, food and water can become vehicles
for illness and disease transmission, which must be avoided. Public Health – Seattle & King
County may provide guidance to the city and to individuals to ensure the safety of food and
water made available to the public. The City of Renton will work closely with local volunteer
and non-profit agencies to determine the emergency food and water needs of the affected
population. The City of Renton will coordinate with local agencies, commercial facilities,
volunteer organizations and appropriate purveyors for the supply and distribution of food and
water to the affected population. The city will not accept unprocessed donated goods during a
time of disaster. Only those goods that can quickly be placed into the community, or specifically
requested, will be accepted.
Animals and Agriculture
Any displacement or evacuation of people from their homes may cause household pets and
livestock to be placed at risk due to lack of food, shelter, and care. Animal evacuation and
sheltering should be conducted in conjunction with human evacuation and sheltering efforts.
Animals should be sheltered near their owners to the extent possible. In order to provide for
the safety and security of Renton residents, animals, and property, the city will work to ensure
the care and shelter of pets in the event of an emergency. Owners will be expected to provide
food, water, husbandry, and exercise for their pets during the times they are in emergency
shelters. Renton Police will guide the City’s response to domestic animal care following a major
emergency or disaster. While Incident Command will assist with animal issues, the priority will
remain the health and safety of residents.
Some animal diseases are very contagious (e.g. – foot and mouth disease) and would be very
difficult to identify, isolate, control, and eradicate in an emergency shelter environment. Some
plant diseases are very infectious to other plants and can be very difficult to identify, isolate,
control, and eradicate. The Washington State Department of Agriculture, in collaboration with
identified stakeholders and legal authorities (local, state, federal and tribal), may lead the
management of animal and/or plant health emergencies.
Renton Police has jurisdictional authority and will direct and control all activities related to
animal sheltering, protection, and control during an emergency. If a possible foreign animal,
insect, crop, or disease is confirmed on a premise, the state veterinarian, Washington
Department of Agriculture (WA DOA) and the Federal Area Veterinarian in Charge become the
Unified Command. As a Unified Command, they would coordinate the response with local,
other state and federal agencies.
Natural, Cultural and Historical Resources
Cultural heritage institutions (such as museums, libraries, archives, records repositories, and
historical societies) may have sensitive collections that require specific actions in the event of a
disaster or emergency. Actions initiated under ESF 11 to protect, preserve, conserve,
rehabilitate, recover, and restore natural, cultural, and historical resources will be guided by the
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 194
existing internal policies and procedures of the agencies providing support for the incident.
Structures registered in national historical registries, or those structures eligible for inclusion in
those registries, may be subject to special considerations. The City of Renton may coordinate
with local, state, tribal and federal partners to assess, protect, preserve, conserve, inform long-
term recovery and restore identified natural resources and/or cultural sites.
Individuals/Households
Individuals are responsible for knowing the risks they face and developing emergency plans for
their families that include emergency preparedness for the animals in their household, whether
those animals are owned for pleasure or commercial purposes. To the extent possible, during
an incident, individuals should carry out their emergency plans in accordance with responder
instructions.
During an incident, to the extent practical, animal evacuation and sheltering should be
conducted in conjunction with human evacuation and sheltering efforts, and animals should be
sheltered near their owners. Service animals are trained to perform a specific service for a
person with a disability or access and functional need. They are not pets and may not be
separated from the individual with a disability or other access and functional need. They should
be permitted anywhere the public goes. Owners should provide food, water, husbandry, and
exercise for their animals while they are in emergency shelters. Recognized service animal
species are dogs and miniature horses under Washington state law and must be
accommodated. Emotional support animals do not receive the same accommodation and may
be treated as a pet under emergency circumstances.
Local, State, and Tribal Governments
Local, state, and tribal governments are primarily responsible for the welfare of individuals and
animals within their jurisdictions.
Typically, at the local level, the animal control agency is the authority that has jurisdiction for
non-disease animal emergency management issues within a given community. When requested
and mission assigned, ESF 11 can assist in coordinating or providing technical assistance to
address animal/agriculture emergency management issues.
Actions taken during an emergency threatening the environment or cultural and historic
resources are guided by and coordinated with the appropriate local, state, and tribal agencies,
including the state historic preservation office, state archives, and local emergency
management agencies.
Private Sector/Nongovernmental Organizations
Most animal and agriculture emergency response resources and assets are owned or controlled
by the private sector and NGOs.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 195
Animal emergency management is and has always been a whole community effort—a blending
of emergency management and animal handling expertise. At the local level, veterinarians,
farmers, animal control agencies and humane organizations, breeders, wildlife rehabilitators,
and others make up the animal infrastructure within a community. These entities should be
encouraged to collaborate with government to meet emergency animal needs in their
communities. Many states have integrated animal response capabilities, such as county and/or
state animal response teams, veterinary medical reserve corps, or similarly named entities.
Cultural heritage institutions (such as museums, libraries, archives, records repositories, and
historical societies) should be encouraged to develop emergency plans, including having
contingency plans in place for their collections in the event of a disaster or emergency.
Nonprofit networks, such as the Heritage Emergency National Task Force, can provide
information on cultural and historic resources at risk.
Whole Community
The “Whole Community” includes individuals, families, and households, communities, the
private and nonprofit sectors, faith-based organizations, and local, tribal, state, and Federal
governments. ESF 11 includes communicating with the Whole Community during Agriculture
and Natural Resource related activities through preparedness, response, recovery, and
mitigation. The Whole Community includes populations with Limited English Proficiency (LEP),
individuals with disabilities, and Access and Functional Needs (AFN).
ESF 11 has been reviewed by the Whole Community through a public input process that
included an online (virtual) and in-person access.
Organization
The City of Renton Parks and Recreation Department is responsible for leading the coordination
of Agriculture and Natural Resources activities within our jurisdiction. The Renton EOC will
provide support to the lead agency for this ESF.
Notification
The ESF can be activated through several channels:
• Incident Commander
• City mayor, city administrator, or designee
• EOC Duty Officer or EOC Director
ESF 11 may be activated independently or in conjunction with other ESFs, depending on the
situation.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 196
Activation may occur due to the severity of the event or perceived threat, unmitigated risk to
Renton community, in a planned event situation, or in support of mutual aid partners.

national policy on critical infrastructure security and resilience. PPD-21 directs greater
cooperation between public and private entities, reduction of vulnerabilities, identification and
disruption of threats, minimization of consequences, and rapid response and recovery efforts
related to critical infrastructure. PPD-7 directs agencies to identify and prioritize critical
infrastructure and to protect them from terrorist attacks.
Within the state of Washington, the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) and the Washington
Advisory Code (WAC) provide the following policy directives related to ESF 12 as follows:
43.21.F State Energy Office
Defines the roles and responsibilities for the State Energy Office, including their role in
implementing policy during energy emergencies.
43.21G Energy Supply Emergencies, Alerts
Relevant to energy, establishes necessary emergency powers for the governor and
defines the situations under which such powers are to be exercised.
43.155.065 Emergency Public Works Projects
Establishes low-interest or interest-free loans for emergency public works projects.
WAC 194 Department of Energy Commerce
Provides guidance from Commerce on Energy issues including Emergency Petroleum
Allocation Act rules and WA state curtailment plan for electric energy.
The City of Renton Executive Services Department will liaise with public and/or private utility
providers to coordinate disaster and emergency energy needs and services. Where an agency
representative for a fuel provider or power utility company is not available to sit directly within
the City of Renton Emergency Operations Center (EOC), a liaison may be represented within the
King County Emergency Operations Center (KC EOC). Alternatively, a relationship may be
established directly with the on-call person for that agency.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 204
Situation Overview
ESF 12 addresses significant disruptions in electrical, natural gas, and petroleum supplies
caused for any reason. The term ‘energy utility’ includes producing, refining, transporting,
generating, transmitting, conserving, building, distributing, and maintaining energy utility
systems and system components. All energy utility systems are considered critical
infrastructure. Power outages or petroleum supply interruptions may be triggered by a variety
of hazards including windstorms, winter storms, earthquakes, cybersecurity-attack, and severe
flooding. Refer to the Renton Annex within the King County Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan for
details on hazards as well as risk assessments.
The occurrence of a major disaster could destroy or damage portions of the city's energy and
utility systems and disrupt petroleum supplies. Widespread and possibly prolonged electric
power failures could occur in a major disaster. Transportation, media, and telecommunications
infrastructures may be affected. Delays in the production, refining, and delivery of petroleum-
based products may occur as a result of transportation infrastructure problems and loss of
commercial electrical power.
Concept of Operations
ESF 12 facilitates the repair, restoration, and reestablishment of damaged energy and utility
systems for the City of Renton. Activities within the scope of ESF 12 include collection,
evaluation, and dissemination of information on energy and utility system damages, reports on
the impacts, outages, and estimations for repair and restoration. ESF 12 also provides technical
expertise to the utilities, conducts field assessments of energy and utility capabilities,
capacities, and reserves, and assists government and private-sector stakeholders to overcome
challenges in restoring the energy system.
Responding to energy or petroleum shortages or disruptions and their effects is necessary for
preservation of public health, safety and general welfare of the City of Renton's residents.
Individual critical infrastructure operators are responsible for the following operational
functions during an emergency:
• Establishing situational awareness for the status of energy/utility systems for the City of
Renton.
• Assessing fuel and electric power damage.
• Assessing energy supply and demand.
• Coordinate the identification of requirements to repair energy systems.
• Coordinate with county, state, and federal officials as well as private agencies, to
establish priorities for repair of damaged energy systems.
• Coordinate temporary, alternate, or interim sources of emergency fuel and power,
obtaining current information regarding damage to energy supply and distribution
systems.
• Assessing the requirements for restoration.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 205
As the primary agency, Renton Public Works may assess city facilities and provide
recommendations for actionable measures to be taken to provide emergency power. They may
also develop procedures and recommend locations for fueling. Utility providers may send a
liaison to the City of Renton EOC to facilitate coordination and may provide communications
equipment to be in contact with field units. The City of Renton EOC will provide support for ESF
12 and may assist in the execution of the following capabilities:
• Advise public utilities operating in Renton of federal or state restrictions, or any
emergency restrictions or operating policies established by the city.
• Support requests for assistance, mutual aid agreements, and resources, as needed.
• Support contact with utility providers to establish priorities, coordinate resources,
assess and document damages, and provide information to the public.
• Inform the public of utility status, restrictions, and safety messaging.

City of Renton Public Works Department
Mutual Aid Agencies
Introduction
Purpose
The purpose of Emergency Support Function (ESF) 13 is to effectively coordinate and integrate
law enforcement activities including public safety, and security resources within the City of
Renton in incident management activities that require State-level assistance.
The following Core Capabilities support the roles and responsibilities of ESF 13. The primary and
supporting core capabilities are defined to support the execution of Public Safety, Law
Enforcement, and Security operations for this ESF as follows:
Primary Core Capabilities
On – Scene Security,
Protection, and Law
Enforcement
Ensure a safe and secure environment through law enforcement and related
security and protection operations for people and communities located
within affected areas and also for response personnel engaged in lifesaving
and life-sustaining operations.
Supporting Core Capabilities
Physical Protective
Measures
Implement and maintain risk-informed countermeasures, and policies
protecting people, borders, structures, materials, products, and systems
associated with key operational activities and critical infrastructure sectors.
Operational
Coordination
Establish and maintain a unified ad coordinated operational structure and
process that appropriately integrates all critical stakeholders and supports the
execution of core capabilities.
Screening, Search
and Detection
Identify, discover, or locate threats and/or hazards through active and passive
surveillance and search procedures. This may include the use of systematic
examinations and assessments, bio surveillance, sensor technologies, or
physical investigation and intelligence.
Interdiction and
Disruption
Delay, divert, intercept, halt, apprehend, or secure threats and/or hazards.
Public Information
and Warning
Deliver coordinated, prompt, reliable, and actionable information to the
whole community through the use of clear, consistent, accessible, and
culturally and linguistically appropriate methods to effectively relay
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 210
information regarding any threat or hazard, as well as the actions being taken
and the assistance being made available, as appropriate.
Planning
Conduct a systematic process engaging the whole community as appropriate
in the development of executable, strategic, operational, and/or tactical-level
approaches to meet defined objectives.
Authorities and Policies
Public safety and law enforcement in Washington is generally and routinely the responsibility of
local government. Renton Police, within the limits of its resources and authority, may
coordinate and support essential law enforcement operations. The function of outside sourced
security is generally the responsibility of private-sector authorities. Consistent with the National
Incident Management System (NIMS) and the National Response Framework (NRF), ESF 13
resources serve to augment local resources at the request of local government. It is important
to note that ESF 13 resources do not supplant or replace local authority or responsibility.
Officers of local police departments are general authority Washington peace officers and the
coordination between Renton Police and other law enforcement agencies are facilitated by and
defined within the Washington Mutual Aid Peace Officers Powers Act, RCW 10.93.020. The
Interlocal Cooperation Act, RCW 39.34, and the Washington Mutual Aid Peace Officers Act,
RCW 10.93, authorize general authority law enforcement agencies to enter into mutual aid
agreements to provide law enforcement assistance under the following enumerated
circumstances:
(1) Upon the prior written consent of the sheriff or chief police whose
primary territorial jurisdiction the exercise of the power occurs.
(2) In response to an emergency involving the immediate threat to
human life or property.
(3) In response to a request pursuant to a mutual law enforcement
assistance agreement with the agency of primary territorial
jurisdiction or in response to the request of a peace officer with
enforcement authority.
(4) When the officer is transporting a prisoner.
(5) When the officer is executing an arrest warrant or search warrant. or
(6) When the officer is in fresh pursuit, as defined in RCW 10.93.120.
Renton Police personnel sent to assist other jurisdictions will maintain their own supervision
and chain of command. All personnel exercising authority under ESF 13 and representing the
Renton Police Department are subject to the policies, procedures, regulations, and limitations
set within the Renton Police Department Policy Manual. Law enforcement units provided by
other levels of government will remain under the command of their parent agency.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 211
Situation Overview
Any disaster may generate a need for law enforcement activity. The primary hazards are
detailed in the City of Renton Annex to the King County Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan and
include floods, winter storms, earthquakes, landslides and debris flows, volcanic hazards, coal
mine hazards, hazardous materials releases, and acts of terrorism or civil disturbance.
Additionally, the city is subject to major transportation disruptions and accidents, utility and
infrastructure failures or collapses, public health emergencies, and mass casualty incidents from
any cause.
Renton Police will lead the coordination of citywide emergency or disaster law enforcement
activities. Normal response will be hampered by such occurrences as bridge failures, landslides,
fallen debris, flooding or fire. Police response times will be delayed and response to incidents
may need to be prioritized. Landline communications may be interrupted. Cellular, satellite
telephone, and conventional and amateur radio communication will be relied upon heavily, if
available. Congested frequencies should be expected. Valley Communications Center, if
operable, will be inundated with calls, possibly requiring Renton Police to dispatch their own
calls. Assistance between law enforcement agencies within the state is facilitated by the
signatory agencies to the Mutual Law Enforcement Assistance Agreement. Mutual Aid agencies
and other resources normally available to support police operations may be unavailable as a
result of the incident. The City of Renton Police Department will exhaust its resources before
requesting assistance from other agencies. City of Renton personnel will provide assistance and
resources as available during an emergency or disaster. When Renton Police resources are
exhausted, supplemental assistance may be requested through the Renton Emergency
Operations Center (EOC).
Concept of Operations
In times of an emergency or disaster, law enforcement agencies are called upon to provide a
wide range of functions. When activated, ESF 13 facilitates the integration of State-level public
safety, law enforcement, and security resources into the incident management response.
Resources, capabilities, and support that may be coordinated through ESF 13 may include but
are not limited to:
o Traffic control and evacuation
o Critical infrastructure protection
o Civil disturbance control
o Local law enforcement augmentation
o Investigative assistance
o Access and perimeter control
o Transportation of high-priority emergency supplies
o Watercraft, dive teams
o Surveillance tools and situational assessment
o Aviation resources
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 212
o SWAT teams
o Explosive detection canines
o Explosive Ordnance Disposal teams
o Prison inmate transport
o Intelligence and information sharing
Whole Community
The “Whole Community” includes individuals, families, and households, communities, the
private and nonprofit sectors, faith-based organizations, and local, tribal, state, and Federal
governments. ESF 13 includes communicating with the Whole Community during public safety,
law enforcement, and security preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation activities. The
Whole Community includes populations with Limited English Proficiency (LEP), individuals with
disabilities, and Access and Functional Needs (AFN).
ESF 13 has been reviewed by the Whole Community through a public input process that
included online (virtual) and in-person access.
Organization
Renton Police, Renton Public Works, and Renton Regional Fire Authority are responsible for law
enforcement, security, and public safety within our jurisdiction. A Division Commander or
designee of the City of Renton Police Department will report to the Renton Emergency
Management Duty Officer or Renton EOC, if activated, to coordinate law enforcement
notifications and activities with other response functions. The Renton EOC will provide
information sharing and resource support to the lead agencies for this ESF.
Law enforcement operations are conducted by Renton Police within the limits of its resources
and authority. In the event additional state law enforcement resources are required, they may
be requested through the Renton EOC if activated. In preferred order, the City of Renton Duty
Officer or, if activated, the Renton EOC, the King County Emergency Operations Center (KC
EOC), and the Washington State Emergency Management Division.
Notifications
This ESF can be activated through the Renton Police Department, Renton Regional Fire

Introduction
Purpose
Emergency Support Function (ESF) 15 provides direction to keep the public informed
throughout a threatened or actual emergency and to provide the public with protective action
guidance as appropriate to save lives and protect property.
This plan supports the Incident Command System (ICS) Public Information Officer (PIO) function
and the Joint Information Center and Joint Information System (JIC/JIS). The joint information
system is established to coordinate information before it is released to the public and the news
media.
The purpose of ESF 15 is to establish uniform policies for the effective development,
coordination, and dissemination of information to the public in the event of a disaster. The
following Core Capabilities support the roles and responsibilities of ESF 15. The primary and
supporting core capabilities are defined to support the execution of communication,
information and warning for this ESF as follows:
Primary Response Core Capability
Public Information
and Warning
Deliver coordinated, prompt, reliable, and actionable information to the
whole community using clear, consistent, accessible, and culturally and
linguistically appropriate methods to effectively relay information regarding
any threat or hazard, as well as the actions being taken, and the assistance
being made available, as appropriate.
Support Response Core Capabilities
Planning Conduct a systematic process engaging the whole community as appropriate
in the development of executable strategic, operational, and/or tactical-level
approaches to meet defined objectives.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 217
Support Response Core Capabilities
Operational
Coordination
Establish and maintain a unified and coordinated operational structure and
process that appropriately integrates all critical stakeholders and supports
the execution of Core Capabilities.
Mass Care Services Provide life-sustaining and human services to the affected population, to
include hydration, feeding, sheltering, temporary housing, evacuee support,
reunification, and distribution of emergency supplies.
Operational
Communications
Ensure the capacity for timely communications in support of security,
situational awareness, and operations, by any and all means available,
among and between affected communities in the impact area and all
response forces.
Situational
Assessment
Provide all decision makers with decision-relevant information regarding the
nature and extent of the hazard, any cascading effects, and the status of the
response.
Authorities and Policies
The City of Renton’s public information requirements will be determined by the severity of the
disaster or emergency as determined by the Executive Services Department. Public information
activities will provide vital information citywide in a timely, consistent, and unified method to
state, county, tribal, local, and private sector agencies, media, and non-profit organizations. The
City of Renton may train employees as Public Information Officers (PIOs) to communicate
incident related information with the public and/or media. Renton’s Executive Services
Department has lead responsibility as the official spokesperson for the city’s public information
activities.
ESF 15 provides for public information, education, and media relations functions that together
comprise the Joint Information System (JIS). The JIS may be coordinated internally or with other
agencies. Emergency public information actions before, during, and following an emergency will
be determined by the severity of the emergency as declared by involved jurisdictions, state
agencies, or as perceived by the public. A significant emergency public information response
will involve many states, county, local, private sector, media, and non-profit organizations.
Public Information identifies those agencies and defines their responsibilities within the JIS.
Regional events involving multiple agencies may be coordinated through the King County Joint
Information Center or Joint Information System. When external agencies are key stakeholders
in the incident, particularly when they have been incorporated into a Unified Command
structure to manage the incident, they will have a vested interest in the public information
message. The Incident Commander in concert with the City of Renton Policy Advisory Group will
direct key public information messages.
Communication Requirements
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 218
The City of Renton aims to communicate messages in a manner that can be understood by its
diverse population. Special considerations for communicating with significant segments of the
population with Limited English Proficiency (LEP) and those with Access or Functional Needs
(AFN) is addressed in this ESF with compliance to:
• Civil Rights Act of 1964
Unlawful discrimination against race, color, or national origin.
• RCW 38.52.070
Requirement for emergency management organizations to include and
communications plan which identifies “significant population segments”
that have Limited English Proficiency and how information will be
disseminated to those populations during an emergency or disaster.
• WAC 118-30
Limited English Proficiency (LEP) populations are components of the
Whole Community which is discussed as a requirement for inclusion
throughout the planning process.
Consult the King County Inclusive Emergency Communication Plan (IECP) and the Renton Annex
to the King County IECP for alternative communication options specific to addressing Limited
English Proficiency (LEP) and Access and Functional Needs (AFN) populations. Members of the
community with LEP and AFN will have additional difficulties in receiving and understanding
warning and emergency notification messages if special efforts are not made to reach them.
Situation Overview
The City of Renton and the surrounding region will periodically experience emergency
situations that require the coordinated dissemination of critical information to the public. The
public needs timely and accurate information for protection of life and property during
response to, and recovery from a disaster or emergency. Potential emergency situations
include natural, technological, and human-caused events. The City of Renton Annex to the King
County Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan further identifies the natural and technological
emergencies or disasters that could impact the city and therefore require emergency
messaging.
Depending on the nature and magnitude of the emergency, different levels of public
information will be required. Public information may in fact be a primary objective during an
emergency. During an emergency, timely and accurate public information will help protect
people’s health and safety and will help manage expectations about response capabilities.
Conversely, it also could work to dispel public views that an incident is a bigger emergency than
it is because of the way the media covers the story, making it critical for agencies to coordinate
key messages.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 219
Situations which may prompt rapid public information includes alerting residents to an
impending emergency, directing residents for an evacuation or shelter in place, informing
residents of protective health-related actions, and updating residents through response and
recovery phases of the event.
Information Systems
In case of an emergency, every effort will be made to communicate in a timely, effective
manner; however, normal means of communication may not be available. In those situations,
non-traditional means of communicating with the public, such as radio, billboards, flyers,
newsprint, and community networks, will be established and utilized. The City of Renton does
not have a single warning system to communicate with the population but would use multiple
systems depending on the need and available resources. The means of dissemination include:
• News media (radio, television, including Channel 21 in Renton, cable, print).
• Reverse dial telephone system mass notifications (e.g., ALERT Renton).
• City of Renton’s website.
• Social media applications (e.g., Facebook or Twitter).
• Neighborhood Information Centers.
• If warranted by the situation, hand distribution.
Technological limitations may prevent communication with the general public, including those
with Limited English Proficiency and those with Access or Functional Needs. Technological
challenges may include inaccessibility due to downed infrastructure, privacy and security, and
limited alternative communication technologies. The City of Renton recommends prioritizing
the restoration of communication infrastructure, adhering to privacy and security guidelines,
and training to and purchasing alternative communication technologies. In this effort, the City
of Renton continues to build relationships with supporting agencies, develops technology
security, and has invested in alternative communication technologies and training.
Concept of Operation
Regardless of the hazard or threat type, the City of Renton may provide timely and vital
information to the public regarding emergency response and recovery activities. To reduce
inaccuracies and misinformation, the City of Renton will coordinate information and public
messaging with participating local, county, tribal, state, and federal agencies, and other
organizations as required. The City of Renton may start an emergency public information
operation to augment or enhance the normal communications capabilities of the city.
Joint Information System
The JIC, if established internally or regionally, becomes the focal point for dissemination of all
emergency public information about emergency and disaster response and recovery
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 220
operations. The purpose of the JIC is to coordinate information and provide a forum for the
sharing of information within the region, and a central point for the media to get information.
Under the JIS/JIC concept, each agency representative has the commitment to share and
coordinate information with all other participating agencies prior to release to the media and
public. During any activation of the City of Renton EOC, City of Renton staff from individual
departments will be available to staff the EOC, field locations, or a Joint Information Center
(JIC). The disaster procedures for each department should anticipate this fact and build in
appropriate staffing.
A JIC may be established by the City of Renton EOC or at the direction of the City of Renton
Executive Services Department to augment the public information function of the EOC, and to
incorporate external stakeholders in the development and delivery of the public information
message. A JIC is established when non-City agencies are key stakeholders in an incident and
may bring together diverse parties in order to coordinate information prior to public release.
Involvement of other agency/organization PIOs will be determined by the scope and nature of
the disaster. If the event is large enough, the JIC may be established by King County. In a minor
emergency incident, an on-scene PIO may be the only portion of the JIS utilized. A virtual JIC
may be initiated through technological means when geographical restrictions, incident
management requirements, and other limitations preclude physical attendance by public
information officers/liaisons at a central location.
Public Information Officers
PIOs within the City of Renton work closely with Renton Executive Services Department,
response agencies, and the City of Renton EOC Director (or the City of Renton EOC Duty Officer
if the EOC is not activated) to disseminate and coordinate public information communications
and messages. Based on the urgency of the situation and the need for inter-agency
cooperation, the city’s assigned PIO will attempt to coordinate with other agencies to gather
emergency public information relevant to the City of Renton and share it with the Renton EOC
and the Policy Advisory Group. PIOs may serve as part of the JIS to coordinate information from
their respective agencies regarding their involvement in the response and recovery operation of
an emergency event.
PIOs, whether within a JIC or the City of Renton EOC, have a range of responsibilities including:
• Setting up news briefings for key disaster officials.
• Writing and disseminating news releases to appropriate media outlets.
• Monitoring and analyzing TV, radio, newspaper, and Internet disaster news
coverage.
• Distributing this information throughout the JIS.
• Preparing background information and fact sheets.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 221
Rumors or misinformation can cause unnecessary distress among residents, provoke counter-
productive public actions, and impede response and recovery efforts. PIOs must focus on
providing accurate and timely information using all dissemination methods, including rumor
control as a primary goal. Communication resources may be utilized by the City of Renton to
retrieve and broadcast a public alert to specific jurisdictions and locations throughout the city,
county, and state. For more information regarding communication resources see ESF 2 –
Communications, Information Systems, and Warning.
The City of Renton’s Public Information Officers (PIOs) may be located at the City of Renton
EOC, at City Hall, a Joint Information Center, or another location from which they may
effectively coordinate the public information function of the city. In a disaster, the public
information function within the City of Renton EOC becomes the focal point for the receipt of
information and therefore is a logical location for the preparation and distribution of
emergency public information if so, delegated by the City of Renton Executive Services
Department. The public information function for an emergency may co-locate near the disaster
area to support local public information efforts or may relocate to a JIC as needed. A media
room may be designated at a location separate from the City of Renton EOC to be used for
news briefings, interviews, and press conferences.
Members of the community with Limited English Proficiency and those with Access and
Functional Needs will have additional difficulties in receiving and understanding warning and
emergency notification messages if special efforts are not made to reach them. PIOs may
consult the King County Inclusive Emergency Communication Plan (IECP) and the Renton Annex
to the King County IECP for alternative communication options and pre-scripted standard
emergency messages specific to addressing Limited English Proficiency (LEP) and Access and
Functional Needs (AFN) populations.
Whole Community
The “Whole Community” includes individuals, families, households, communities, the private
and nonprofit sectors, faith-based organizations, and local, tribal, state, and federal, and tribal
governments. ESF 15 includes communicating with the Whole Community during public
information sharing and communication preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation
activities. The Whole Community includes populations with Limited English Proficiency (LEP),
individuals with disabilities, and Access and Functional Needs (AFN).
ESF 15 has been reviewed by the Whole Community through a public input process that
included online (virtual) and in-person access.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 222
Organization
In a disaster or major emergency, the City of Renton Mayor or their delegate will appoint or
designate a trained Information Officer (IO) to coordinate the key messages and overall public
information strategy for the JIS. The Communications Director serves within the Policy Advisory
Group, and generally serves in the role of Information Officer, unless otherwise designated by
the mayor. The City of Renton operates under the National Incident Management System. ESF
15 describes the operation of the public information function within the Incident Management
System. The City of Renton EOC Director will appoint a PIO to serve as the Lead PIO within the
City of Renton EOC. The Lead PIO will coordinate with the Information Officer (IO) in the Policy
Advisory Group.
Notification
This ESF can be activated for Renton EOC Support through the following agencies:
• City of Renton Mayor
• Renton Executive Services
Activation may occur due to the severity of the event or perceived threat; unmitigated risk to
the Renton community; or in support of mutual aid partners.
Procedures
• Upon notification, a designated city PIO will report to the City of Renton EOC to
coordinate and disseminate accurate and timely disaster-related information.
This person will normally serve as the Lead PIO in the City of Renton EOC.
• In the event the City of Renton EOC is not activated, a designated city PIO will
work in concert with the Communications Director and the EOC Duty Officer to
issue appropriate press releases, situation reports, and conduct media
interviews.
• A designated City PIO will coordinate working with the Incident Commander to
ensure there is appropriate PIO staffing. Depending on the severity of the
situation, if the City of Renton EOC is activated on a 24-hour schedule additional
PIO staffing may be required.

CYBER INCIDENT ANNEX
Primary Agency: City of Renton Executive Services Department
Support Agencies: City of Renton Police Department
City of Renton Public Works
City of Renton Human Resources/Risk Management
All other City of Renton Departments
Introduction
Background
The city uses a variety of systems, services, and devices that rely upon both internal and
external computer networks in order to function properly. These networks as a whole are
commonly referred to “cyberspace” and failures in them, regardless of cause, are commonly
referred to as “cyber incidents”. Cyber incidents have the potential to disable city services,
release non-disclosable information to unknown parties, and create public safety issues, among
other things.
Purpose
This incident annex outlines fundamental steps in the city’s response to a major cyber incident,
including assignment of responsibility and critical actions that must be taken to prepare for,
respond to, and recover from a cyber incident. City of Renton’s Information Technology
Division, housed within the Executive Services Department, leads the effort to protect and
prevent against cyber and other technology related threats including ransomware, malware,
phishing, unauthorized access, physical damage, and equipment failure.
The Cyber Incident Annex will achieve this by ensuring the proper execution of the primary
response core capability, cyber security. This annex will also ensure the execution of the
following supporting core capabilities: planning, situational awareness, operational
communication, logistics and supply chain management, and access control and identity
verification. Descriptions of all core capabilities this plan supports are listed below.
Primary Response Core Capabilities
Cyber Security Protect (and if needed, restore) electronic communications systems,
information, and services from damage, unauthorized use, and exploitation.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 231
Supporting Response Core Capabilities
Planning Conduct a systematic process engaging the whole community as appropriate
in the development of executable strategic, operational, and/or tactical-level
approaches to meet defined objectives. (Preparedness)
Situational
Assessment
Provide all decision makers with decision-relevant information regarding the
nature and extent of the hazard, any cascading effects, and the status of the
response.
Operational
Communication
Ensure the capacity for timely communications in support of security,
situational awareness, and operations by any and all means available, among
and between affected communities in the impact area and all response
forces.
Logistics and Supply
Chain Management
Deliver essential commodities, equipment, and services in support of
impacted communities and survivors, to include emergency power and fuel
support, as well as the coordination of access to community staples.
Synchronize logistics capabilities and enable the restoration of impacted
supply chains.
Access Control and
Identity Verification Apply and support necessary physical, technological, and cyber measures to
control admittance to critical locations and systems.
Authorities and Policies
Renton Executive Services Department is responsible for securing and maintaining city
information technology assets in accordance with industry standard best practices. They are
further responsible for developing and implementing policies and procedures that ensure the
city’s ability to prevent, detect, and respond to cyber incidents.
The city has a robust cyber security and computer/internet use policy that is regularly updated
to reflect best practices. All employees, volunteers, and others with access to city computer
systems are required to be familiar with and comply with all policies and procedures related to
information technology use and security. The city may provide training to all system users on
acceptable use policies, social engineering awareness, and incident identification/notification
procedures.
All city departments are expected to actively participate in continuity planning as it relates to
loss of information technology services. Continuity planning must include identification of
critical services and procedures for continuing those services during the loss of all or some of
the city’s technology infrastructure.
Situation Overview
Department of Homeland Security defines a major cyber incident as an event that could
jeopardize the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of digital information or information
systems. The city’s vulnerability to a major cyber incident is directly related to the amount of
planning and prevention activity that has been undertaken and the degree to which system
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 232
users are able to rapidly detect, isolate, and report potential incidents. Emergency conditions
related to a major cyber incident have the potential to originate from both internal and
external sources and could cause critical life safety and other essential services to fail.
Major cyber incidents can occur with or without warning, and their intent may be malicious,
accidental, or inadvertent. Initial response, however, must not be dependent on determining
whether they are intentional or accidental. Regardless of cause, major cyber incidents have the
potential to shutdown critical infrastructure, negatively affect life safety, reveal protected
information, and to cause harm to people, data, and physical assets.
Cyber threats can be both technological and human in nature and will continue to exist
regardless of the number of safeguards put in place or amount of training conducted.
Close coordination with county, state, and federal government partners, as well as private
sector entities and NGOs will likely be required in a major cyber incident. Incidents may start
and end on systems that are outside of the city’s direct control.
Concept of Operations
The City of Renton’s Executive Services Department Information Technology (IT) Division may
routinely work with other government organizations to exchange information and develop best
practices including maintaining detailed, confidential procedures for cyber incident response. IT
maintains non-disclosable lists of available cyber incident detection and response resources,
including tools and outside vendors to detect adverse events on their networks and other
systems. They may issue contracts for works and services including:
• Software/hardware maintenance
• Print/copier maintenance
• Software/database hosting
• Infrastructure and endpoint security
• Internet services
• Phone services
Information Technology bases its own continuity plan upon the needs of other city departments
and may work in conjunction with the Emergency Management Division to assist departments
in developing appropriate expectations and continuity plans. IT may provide training to all
system users to know when and how to report possible cyber incidents, how to avoid common
network intrusion and recognize social engineering techniques. Additionally, IT provides the
following services to support all city departments:
• Voice and data communication systems.
• File storage and print systems.
• Wired and wireless networks.
• Servers and endpoint devices.
• Routers, switches, gateways, and firewalls.
• Business systems support, application software development, databases.
• GIS systems and services.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 233
• Access to the internet and inter-governmental networks.
IT shall serve as the lead department for a response to a cyber incident. They may provide
subject matter expertise, assign personnel and technology to detect, isolate, and eliminate the
threat, restore information technology systems, and inform key decision makers. Renton Police
shall serve as a supporting agency for any criminal investigation that results from the incident
within their jurisdiction and provide any necessary law enforcement subject matter expertise as
requested.
Whole Community
The “Whole Community” includes individuals, families, households, communities, the private
and nonprofit sectors, faith-based organizations, and local, tribal, state, and Federal
governments. The Cyber Incident Annex includes communicating with the whole community
throughout preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation activities. The Whole Community
includes populations with Limited English Proficiency (LEP), individuals with disabilities, and
Access and Functional Needs (AFN).
The Cyber Incident Annex has been reviewed by the Whole Community through a public input
process that included online (virtual) and in-person access.
Organization
The primary agency responsible for the coordination of a cyber incident is the Information
Technology (IT) Division within the Executive Services Department. Renton Police, Human
Resources and Risk Management, Executive Services, and Public Works provide essential
support and coordination of response and recovery from a cyber incident. In the event of an
emergency, the Renton Emergency Operations Center (EOC) may activate to provide
information coordination and resource support throughout the response of a cyber incident.
Notification
The Cyber Incident Annex can be activated through the following departments:
• Renton Executive Services
• Renton Police
• Renton Human Resources and Risk Management
Activation may occur due to the severity of the event or perceived threat or unmitigated risk to
the Renton community.

Introduction
Purpose
The purpose of the Damage Assessment Annex is to establish guidelines for damage and
response capability assessment following an emergency or disaster within the City of Renton’s
service area.
Disasters can cause injury to individuals, damage to public and private property, and damage
to the environment. Damage assessment information will determine a priority of response
activities and allocation of resources immediately following an event. Damage assessment
information will also be used to determine eligibility and provide documentation for regional,
state, or federal disaster aid. Eligibility for various forms of disaster aid will also be
determined from the damage assessment efforts of this Annex.
The following Core Capabilities support the roles and responsibilities of this annex. The
primary and supporting core capabilities are defined to support the execution of damage
assessment operations for this annex as follows:
Primary Response Core Capabilities
Planning
Conduct a systematic process engaging the whole community as appropriate
in the development of executable strategic, operational, and/or tactical-level
approaches to meet defined objectives.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 246
Primary Response Core Capabilities
Situational
Assessment
Provide all decision makers with decision-relevant information regarding the
nature and extent of the hazard, any cascading effects, and the status of the
response.
Operational
Coordination
Establish and maintain a unified and coordinated operational structure and
process that appropriately integrates all critical stakeholders and supports
the execution of core capabilities.
Authorities & Policies
Non-catastrophic Events
Response Capability Assessment
Completed within one hour.
Following an event, all city departments will assess the condition of their personnel,
structures, and equipment. From this assessment, determination will be made as to the
capability of that department to operationally respond to the needs of the event and
provide vital city services. This information will be forwarded to the Renton Emergency
Operation Center (EOC) if activated and directly to Community and Economic Development
Department if the Renton EOC is not activated to evaluate the need for outside assistance
to replace those resources lost to the event.
Performed by:
• Renton Regional Fire Authority
• Police
• Public Works
• Parks and Recreation
• Community and Economic Development
• Other available City of Renton personnel
Initial Damage Assessment
Completion time of three to six hours.
The Initial Damage Assessment is conducted immediately following the Response
Capability Assessment. It is used to further determine response capabilities by assessing
response routes such as roadways and bridges. In addition to roadway assessment, the
Initial Damage Assessment is used to do “drive-by triage” of high-hazard, high population
areas and to provide a quick overview and assessment of the Renton area that will be used
to correctly dispatch response units to the areas in the greatest need. Results of the Initial
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 247
Damage Assessment may identify the need for appropriately trained outside personnel to
assist in the Preliminary Damage Assessment, Detailed Damage Assessment, or General
Building Damage Assessment
This information will be forwarded to the Renton EOC if activated, to determine the need
for mobilization of additional city resources and/or request outside resources. Additionally,
this information will be used to provide the same quick overview of Renton’s condition to
the King County EOC.
Performed by:
• Renton Regional Fire Authority
• Police Department
• Public Works Department
• Parks and Recreation Department
• Community and Economic Development Department
• Human Resources and Risk Management Department
• Other available City of Renton personnel
Preliminary Damage Assessment (PDA)
Target completion as requested by the county or state, often 5 days once notified.
In the event an incident goes beyond the normal response capabilities of the City of
Renton, and it becomes apparent that the city may be eligible for federal disaster
assistance, a Preliminary Damage Assessment (PDA) may be requested by the county or
the state. If requested, it must be completed and forwarded to the King County EOC.
The PDA serves to further identify the impacts on Renton by providing more in-depth
assessment of the population, structures, utilities, and other infrastructure. This
assessment begins to determine monetary loss values and identifies hazardous areas and
structures unable to be documented by the Initial Damage Assessment.
The data collected from this assessment is an important element of the resource request
process. Resources allocated by the county or state will be on a need and availability basis
with those jurisdictions having the greatest damage or greatest need receiving the highest
priority. Monetary loss values will also trigger federal assistance, making the timely
assessment of the Renton area even more important.
Targeted completion time for the PDA depends upon the time frame requested by the
county or state. Information gathered during this time will be forwarded to the Renton
EOC if activated and directly to Community and Economic Development Department if the
Renton EOC is not activated.
The Renton EOC will provide the compiled data to the King County EOC.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 248
Detailed City Damage Assessment
Longer-term, "incident period" established by FEMA, potentially concurrent with PDA.
If the PDA results in a Presidential Disaster Declaration authorizing "Public Assistance (PA),"
then detailed damage assessments of City of Renton facilities, buildings, equipment,
infrastructure, and systems must be completed by all city departments and submitted to
the Renton EOC if activated or the Community and Economic Development (CED)
Department otherwise. Teams of personnel from FEMA and the state will require an escort
to view and verify damages as part of the PA process.
Eligible costs include but are not limited to those activities specific to the event. Tracking
and documentation of expenses, overtime and certain other eligible emergency work
activities carried out by City of Renton personnel, the contracted cost of outside agencies,
and the repair or restoration of damaged facilities and infrastructure to their pre-disaster
condition may be among the reimbursable costs.
There will be an "incident period" established by the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) which generally begins at the start of the event and will last as long as
FEMA determines is necessary to include all normal damages from the event. Damage
assessment reports will be completed jointly by the City of Renton, state, and federal
personnel for these costs. Early and complete documentation of all staff time, contractor
costs, equipment rentals, equipment use, and other expenses is vital to maximize the
reimbursement following the event.
General Building Damage Assessment
Buildings or structures may be assessed for damage in the event that damage constitutes a
probable hazard to life safety, or "Individual Assistance" is authorized by the Presidential
Disaster Declaration.
The Community and Economic Development (CED) Department will assemble teams comprised
of:
• CED Building Inspectors
• CED Engineers
• Fire Inspectors,
• Public Works Engineers
• Public Works Inspectors
• And/or other personnel trained under ATC procedures to inspect and placard
damaged structures.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 249
All structure assessments will utilize procedures as established under the Applied Technologies
Council (ATC) structure assessment program known as ATC - 20. Inspection records will be kept
in accordance with the ATC procedures. The inspection and placarding records created by
these Inspectors will be compiled and submitted to the King County EOC through the Renton
EOC, with duplicate copies being kept by the City of Renton for reference in recovery and
reconstruction.
Catastrophic Events
The Response Capability Assessment and Initial Damage Assessment will be performed to the
best of the city’s ability, dependent on local conditions.
If the disaster is overwhelming and beyond the City of Renton’s resource capability to obtain a
Preliminary Damage Assessment as requested by King County, the Washington State CEMP
states "that the need for a Preliminary Damage Assessment is eliminated for those jurisdictions
that are especially hit hard." In those cases, the City of Renton will request resources through
the King County EOC to assess damage for Public and Individual Assistance in the city.
Procedures
Response Capability Assessment and Initial Damage Assessment Survey
These procedures are to be performed as outlined in the Policies section of this Annex. In
addition, city personnel should report areas of damage observed during response efforts to
their supervisor or to their department representative in the Renton EOC. The Renton EOC will
then coordinate with CED to determine which level of damage assessment is appropriate to
perform and will request assignment of the appropriate personnel.
Damage assessment needs to restart following every aftershock from a major earthquake or
after any significant changes in the scope of another disaster.
Damage Assessment
If damages cannot be adequately assessed through the Initial Damage Assessment, the Renton
EOC, if activated, or CED if not activated, will request detailed city damage assessments from
all city departments/divisions.
If determined to be necessary, appropriately trained personnel will conduct building damage
assessments utilizing ATC-trained building inspectors and /or ATC-trained teams of fire
inspectors, building inspectors, engineers, trained volunteers, and others.
Individual inspectors or teams will:
1. Perform rapid surveys.
2. Place appropriate placards on the buildings.
3. Prepare building damage assessment reports.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 250
The damage assessment reports will be forwarded to the Renton EOC, if activated, or CED if
not activated. These reports will be shared with neighboring jurisdictions and the King County
EOC according to Renton EOC procedures.
Damage Verification (Post Emergency, Collection of Information throughout)
When the possibility of a Presidential Disaster Declaration is anticipated, the Renton EOC, if
activated, or CED if the EOC is not activated will coordinate the collection of information
within Renton for the PDA (Preliminary Damage Assessment), including repair estimates for
damages incurred to public facilities, systems and infrastructure and all other costs incurred
by city departments as a result of the incident. Teams of federal and state inspectors will
determine the eligibility of the costs submitted. This follows the federal guidelines of the
Public Assistance Program.
Situation Overview
Renton city officials have identified the primary hazards that could potentially impact the city.
The potential effects of these hazards could disrupt public services, damage property, and
cause injury or death of persons within affected areas, any of which could require the conduct
of a damage assessment.
The primary hazards are detailed in the King County Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan, and the
Renton Annex to the plan, and include floods, winter storms, earthquakes, landslides and debris
flows, volcanic hazards, coal mine hazards, hazardous materials releases, and acts of terrorism
or civil disturbance. Additionally, the city is subject to major transportation disruptions and
accidents, utility and infrastructure failures or collapses, public health emergencies, and mass
casualty incidents from any cause.
The emergency or disaster may cause enough damage to require assessment. However, not all
damage will be immediately apparent. Roads and other infrastructure may be seriously
damaged and hamper the ability of personnel to conduct timely and complete damage
assessments. It is assumed that the Renton EOC will activate and provide a resource and
information sharing coordination.
Concept of Operations
Response Capability Assessments, Initial Damage Assessment and Preliminary Damage
Assessments (PDAs) are tools used to determine the safety and recovery needs of the residents,
workers, and visitors in Renton as well as to determine the eligibility for disaster assistance.
The City of Renton Community and Economic Development (CED) Department is the lead
agency for coordinating damage assessment throughout the City of Renton and will provide
assistance and information to state or federal damage assessment teams, if requested.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 251
The compiled damage assessments for the City of Renton will be forwarded by the City of
Renton EOC (if activated) or by CED to King County Emergency Operations Center (KC EOC) and
on to Washington State Emergency Management Division to seek federal disaster assistance.
Whole Community
The “Whole Community” includes individuals, families, households, communities, the private
and nonprofit sectors, faith-based organizations, and local, tribal, state, and Federal
governments. The Damage Assessment Annex includes communicating with the Whole
Community during transportation and critical infrastructure preparedness, response, recovery,
and mitigation activities. The Whole Community includes populations with Limited English
Proficiency (LEP), individuals with disabilities, and Access and Functional Needs (AFN).
This annex has been reviewed by the Whole Community through a public input process that
included online (virtual) and in-person access.
Organization
Damage assessment is coordinated by the Community and Economic Development (CED)
Department in conjunction with the City of Renton EOC. The CED Services Division will provide
building damage assessment data to EOC to separate the private and public damage and
forward the results to the King County EOC.
The results (or anticipated results) of the damage assessment may determine if the city seeks a
local emergency proclamation by the Mayor of the City of Renton.
Notification
This Annex can be activated for Renton EOC Support through the following agencies:
• Renton Community and Economic Development
• Renton Public Works
• Renton Police Department
• Renton Regional Fire Authority (RFA)
• Renton EOC Duty Officer or EOC Director
Activation may occur due to the severity of the event or perceived threat; unmitigated risk to
the Renton community; or in support of mutual aid partners.
Information Collection
The following categories are a baseline list which should be considered to create a common
operating picture for Essential Elements of Information (EEIs) which help guide the collection
and dissemination of information.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)

The Evacuation Annex is part of the City of Renton’s Comprehensive Emergency Management
Plan (CEMP) and was developed pursuant to relevant local, county, state and federal statutes
and regulations. Every effort has been made to ensure that the Annex is compatible with the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) guidelines and the Revised Code of
Washington, Chapter 38.52, as well as other local plans. The authority to issue an evacuation
order is held at the county and city levels of government.
Local
In the City of Renton an evacuation may be initiated by any of the following city officials
or their designated alternates:
• Mayor or delegate.
• Chief Administrative Officer or delegate.
• Department administrator of the primary incident command department,
typically Police, Public Works, Parks and Recreation or their delegate.
• Regional Fire Authority Fire Chief or their delegate, if in the incident commander
role.
• Emergency Management Director or delegate.
County
If an evacuation is necessary in or through unincorporated areas outside city limits, the
King County Sheriff’s Office has the authority to recommend an evacuation of residents.
In this case, extra coordination may be needed from the Renton Regional Fire Authority
which provides fire and emergency services to some unincorporated areas under
contract and may assist with evacuation efforts.
State
During a state of emergency, the Governor can issue such orders as they deem
necessary for the security of persons or property (Chapter 38.08, RCW, Powers and
Duties of Governor).
The Evacuation Annex is intended to be applicable and adaptable across all types and scopes of
hazards that would necessitate an evacuation. It has also been vetted with evacuation plans
from neighboring jurisdictions in the event an evacuation affects more than the City of Renton.
Hazards which pose specific risk to the City of Renton have been identified in the city’s annex to
the King County Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan and the CEMP.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 259
This annex will be used in conjunction with the City of Renton’s Emergency Support Functions
(ESFs) found within the CEMP. Evacuation(s) will be conducted in accordance with the National
Incident Management System (NIMS) and the National Response Framework (NRF) and will
utilize the Incident Command System (ICS) to manage the control and coordination of an
emergency response.
Incident Command System (ICS)
The Incident Commander (IC) will determine the necessary sections, branches, and
groups required for an emergency evacuation specific to the circumstances and incident
hazards known at the time of the event. Depending on the scale and complexity of the
event the following command structures may be used:
• Local, discrete site incident with an evacuation managed by the Incident Command
Post (Single Command, IC).
• Local evacuation within City of Renton boundaries involving multiple departments
(Single Command/IC or Unified Command).
• Local to small regional evacuation requiring coordination with other affected
jurisdictions and King County (Single Command/IC or Unified Command).
• Large regional evacuation requiring coordination at the local, state or federal level
(Single Command/IC, Unified, Command, or Incident Management Team).

Situation Overview
Geographic Scope
All areas covered in this annex are located in King County. However, while the City of Renton is
not primarily responsible for evacuation of unincorporated areas, evacuations in these areas
may occur related to a widespread hazard, such as a wildfire. The King County Sheriff’s Office
provides law enforcement and safety services to these unincorporated areas therefore,
coordination of evacuations for the unincorporated areas would be in coordination with the
King County Sheriff’s Office. In addition to unincorporated areas, Renton shares boundaries
with the cities of Kent, Tukwila, and Newcastle. An evacuation that requires moving people out
of city limits may require the involvement of King County and one or more of these cities.
Additionally, moving people through other cities during the course of a large evacuation may
require coordination with other cities as well. A map of the city and service areas is attached as
Appendix A.
There are Police, Fire/EMS and Public Works facilities located in the area covered by this annex.
In addition to personnel, many of these facilities contain equipment and other resources that
are needed to execute an evacuation. These resources may need to be moved to a different
location if the facility is deemed to be within the hazard area. These areas or facilities could be
appropriate for staging areas or equipment relocations sites during an evacuation.
Natural Hazards
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 261
Renton has the following known natural hazards that must be considered in evacuation
planning:
Flooding and/or Dam Failure
- The Cedar River with inundation impact to mostly residential neighborhoods, and in
the case of dam failure of the Cedar Falls dam complex, the entire downtown and
Landing business districts.
- The Green River with inundation impact to mostly commercial neighborhoods of the
business district in the valley.
- The Howard A. Hanson Dam located on the Green River East of Auburn could cause
catastrophic flooding and inundation impacts in the event of a dam failure to mostly
the commercial neighborhoods of the business district in the valley.
- Inundation maps of the seasonal flood hazard areas for the Cedar and Green Rivers
are attached as Appendix B.
Hazardous Materials
- Numerous natural gas pipelines, as well as a petroleum pipeline, traverse the city
which may become a factor if destabilized by an earthquake, landslide, construction
activity, or other disruptive events.
- The City of Renton has several hazardous materials-using facilities that should be
considered when planning an evacuation route.
- A map of natural gas and petroleum pipelines is attached as Appendix C.
Landslides
- Renton has areas that have been identified for their potential landslide risks. If
evacuation is necessary because of inclement weather this may become a factor.
- A map of slide risk areas is attached as Appendix D.
Wildfires
- The City of Renton may be involved in an evacuation due to the increased risk of
wildfires and wildfire smoke from within the King County area.
- A map of wildfire risk areas is attached as Appendix E.
Terrorism
- The City of Renton may be involved in an act of terrorism that may require the
rapid and safe evacuation of communities to guard against casualties.
Refer to the Renton annex within the King County Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan for further
details on hazards as well as risk assessments.
Population Assessment
According to the Washington Office of Financial Management the population for Renton is
107,900 as of April 2023.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 262
Renton is comprised of residential, business, commercial, industrial, and mixed-use areas. Land
use is an important consideration in evacuation planning as the population numbers and
density vary according to location and time of day and day of the week. The business,
commercial, and industrial areas have large populations that come to Renton during business
hours using both public and private transportation. Renton also has several businesses and a
community college that employ large numbers of workers and/or experience a large influx of
customers during their business hours. If evacuation is necessary while these businesses are
open, extra coordination will be needed to avoid gridlock from private vehicles as well as to
evacuate people who use public transportation.
A map showing land use designations is attached as Appendix E. Maps showing City of Renton
Arterial Streets (Principal, Minor and Collector) are attached as Appendix F.
Special Populations
The City of Renton’s Evacuation Annex assumes that special or vulnerable populations,
and the people or facilities that care for them, prepare on their own for evacuations in
order to assure that their needs are adequately met. These populations may include but
are not limited to Limited English Proficiency (LEP), deaf/hard of hearing, blind and deaf-
blind, incarcerated, low-income, refugees, those with cognitive and/or mobility
impairments, those in hospice care, the homeless, children, those with (severe) medical
dependencies/conditions, medically fragile, the addicted, the elderly, and those with
other Access and Functional Needs (AFN). See the King County Inclusive Emergency
Communication Plan and the Renton annex to the plan for additional guidance on
communication.
Communicating with Low/Limited English Proficiency (LEP) Populations
Communicating with LEP populations can sometimes be challenging, therefore,
responders should be advised to speak slowly and clearly, try re-wording messages if or
when individuals do not understand, and use hand gestures or pictures to augment
understanding. Short words (and phrases) such as “fire” or “flood” are much more
useful than involved explanations. Often, one person in a larger family will be bi-lingual
or able to translate even if the other family members don’t speak or understand enough
English. Ask if there is a family member who does speak English. The use of young
children as interpreters should be avoided, as this can be traumatizing. Even if
individuals do not understand verbal instructions, handing them a map (if they are
available) with a route or destination marked on it can be a solution. Ensuring good
communication is one of the easiest ways to ensure safety.
Communicating with the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (HOH)
Responders communicating with the deaf and HOH should speak loudly and clearly, use
a pen and paper and/or American Sign Language (ASL). It is tempting to tell them where
to go and not explain the situation or assume they cannot be self-sufficient, but this
leads to misunderstanding and fear. Additional effective modes of communication are
enunciating so that an individual can read your lips and using calm and relevant (not
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 263
panicky) hand gestures. Individuals who know ASL should be placed in roles where they
can interact with evacuating populations to best serve the deaf and HOH. Deaf or HOH
individuals may communicate their lack of hearing by moving their hand from their
mouth to ear. Individuals who are deaf-blind may have communication devices called
deaf-blind communicators which they may use to communicate. Deaf-blind individuals
also communicate via tactile sign language.
Boarding Homes/Assisted Living Facilities
There are independent retirement communities as well as living facilities that combine
independent living with assisted living in Renton. Facilities that provide assisted living
are required to have disaster plans in place and trained staff on what to do in the event
of an emergency (WAC 388-78A-2700). However, many of these facilities do not have
the transportation resources to carry out a full-scale evacuation and while many
residents have their own vehicles, coordinating routes and destinations could be
difficult. Other issues that may arise include special needs of residents who require
assisted living services (and would require transportation to an appropriate shelter) and
a possible lack of medical supplies. Renton’s facilities in this category may be added at
any time, as new businesses similar in nature are added to the city. Independent living
facilities are not required to have evacuation, emergency plan, or emergency supplies.
In Renton, these facilities include SHAG Cedar River Court, Houser Terrace, Golden
Pines, Hillcrest Terrace, Evergreen Terrace (all maintained by Renton Housing Authority)
Cedar River Terrace, and Divine Suites.
Adult Family Homes
Adult family homes are required by Washington State Law (388-76-10830) to have
emergency plans to meet the needs of their residents and provisions for evacuating
their residents and charges. These are individuals who, if there is a possible need for
them to evacuate, should evacuate as soon as possible due to their special needs, frailty,
and medical conditions. Washington State Law limits the number of residents in adult
family homes to six (6), however there is often only one care giver on duty at a time
taking care of these six (6) residents. Issues could arise with regard to lack of staff and
lack of adequate transportation since the majority of residents have mobility issues
(wheelchairs, walkers) or are bedridden. Adult family home providers and staff will need
information about medical needs shelters if shelters are set up. Many adult family home
providers and caregivers have Limited English Proficiency which could make
understanding the need for evacuations, evacuation routes and procedures challenging.
Adult family homes frequently come and go as businesses, but at any given time there
may be up to 75-100 such facilities within the greater Renton area. A complete, current
list of active adult family homes can be obtained from Public Health - Seattle King
County.
Nursing Homes & Hospitals
Nursing homes and hospitals are required by law to have emergency plans, have their
staff prepared, and be ready to aid in an emergency. Issues that may arise in the
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 264
evacuation of nursing homes include a lack of beds, facilities to transport patients, or
transportation resources appropriate for nursing home or hospital populations. Many of
these individuals are mobility impaired, bedridden, or require the supervision of a
medical professional. Most nursing homes do not have adequate transportation
resources to independently perform a complete evacuation. In general, there are not
enough beds in nearby hospitals to accommodate the number of patients from one
evacuated facility. In certain types of disasters when even more people are in need of
medical assistance it will be impossible to provide beds to all individuals who may
require them in a hospital evacuation. Renton’s two nursing homes are: Talbot Center
for Rehabilitation and Healthcare and Regency at Renton. Renton’s one hospital is Valley
Medical Center.
Rehabilitation Centers
Renton has one residential rehabilitation facility Griffin Home, Friends of Youth for
Youth (substance abuse, sexual behavior, conduct disorder and mental health) is located
at 2500 Lake Washington Blvd N, 98056. Griffin Home, whose residents are solely male,
has an emergency plan which includes the appropriate information per Washington
State Law. There are four residential buildings on the campus and the staff have the
flexibility to move residents from one building to another if necessary. The Griffin Home
is prepared to be self-sufficient for a minimum of seven (7) days. If residents needed to
be transferred, there are contracts with the State of Washington and the Federal
Government to take on the responsibility of transferring residents to temporary or long-
term housing.
Concept of Operations
Planning
The Evacuation Annex was developed by Renton Emergency Management and Renton Police
Department with planning input from other departments and agencies including Renton
Regional Fire Authority, City of Renton Public Works, Community & Economic Development,
and Parks and Recreation departments.
Depending on the scale of an evacuation, involvement of the city’s regional public and private
partners may be needed. The following is a list of participants who may be called upon for
planning and resource support to an evacuation:
• King County Office of Emergency Management (KCOEM)
• The cities of Kent, Tukwila, Newcastle
• Renton, Kent, and Issaquah School Districts
• Washington Emergency Management Division (WA EMD)
• American Red Cross (ARC)
• Washington State Animal Response Team (WASART)
Local Limitations
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 265
The information and procedures included in this annex have been prepared utilizing the best
information and planning assumptions available at the time of preparation. There is no
guarantee implied by this annex that in major emergencies and disaster situations a perfect
response to all incidents will be practical or possible. As Renton's response resources may be
overwhelmed and essential systems may be nonfunctioning, the city can only endeavor to
make every reasonable effort to respond based on the situation, information, and resources
available at the time of the event. The following are some local limitations that were identified:
• Evacuation will cause higher than normal traffic flows creating the need for traffic
direction and control.
• Available resources may be utilized to support evacuation and sheltering-in-place before
being used in other capacities.
• Obstructions and damage to transportation systems such as bridge failures, landslides,
fallen debris, flooding or fire may limit evacuation routes.
• The availability of resources such as buses and emergency workers may be
compromised or non-existent, prompting the need to utilize mutual aid, private, zone,
county, and state agencies for support. Agencies that commonly support these efforts
may be unavailable as a result of the emergency.
• Some people will be unwilling to evacuate.
• People will evacuate with their pets.
• Refueling of private and public vehicles will be an issue.
• Multiple means of communication will be needed to inform the public of evacuation
messaging.
• It is assumed that city resources will be quickly overwhelmed. It is likely that the city’s
Emergency Operations Center (EOC) will be requesting assistance from surrounding
jurisdictions and various levels of government.
• Schools, hospitals, and adult care facilities will need to have their own facility evacuation
and relocation plans in place.
• Sheltering for special needs or medically fragile people will need to be handled
regionally. The lead agency for this is Public Health – Seattle & King County.
• The ARC does not staff special needs shelters, but they may staff local shelters. Pets are
not allowed in ARC shelters.
Evacuation Operation Development
The City of Renton is responsible for the development of a plan to evacuate and provide mass
care services for residents in the event of an emergency and should be prepared, if necessary,
to receive and care for people evacuated from an adjacent area directly impacted by a disaster.
Mass care services are coordinated according to the CEMP’s Emergency Support Function (ESF)
6.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 266
Evacuation operations have four basic components: 1) Evacuation of the population; 2) Support
of evacuees passing through the City of Renton; 3) Reception of evacuees; and 4) Support of
agencies performing components 1-3. In the event an evacuation overwhelms the city’s
resources, assistance may be requested from Emergency Management Zone 3 partners, King
County and/or the State of Washington.
The following sections are four types of evacuations that may occur in the City of Renton: Site
Evacuation, Intermediate Level Evacuation, Large Scale Evacuation, and Mass Evacuation.
Site Evacuation
Site evacuation involves a small number of residents. This typically includes residents
and/or workers at the site and people from adjacent occupancies or areas. The residents
are evacuated and collected at a specified, generally upwind, perimeter location.
Evacuation holding times are typically short, generally less than two hours and residents
are permitted to return to their businesses or homes.
Intermediate Level Evacuation
Intermediate level evacuation involves a larger number of residents (generally greater
than 100) and/or a larger geographic area. Evacuees may be displaced for two to four
hours or more. Evacuation completion times will be somewhat longer than a site
evacuation. Collecting, documenting, and controlling the evacuees may require more
resources. Off-site collection sites and/or shelter areas may need to be established.
Some evacuees may leave the area on their own or be sent home by employers. Site
perimeters may become larger and perimeter security may require more resources.
Close coordination between involved departments and agencies will be required. The
EOC may be activated to support incident activities as the situation warrants.
Large Scale Evacuation
During a large-scale evacuation, thousands of residents may need to be evacuated.
Rapid initiation of the evacuation process may be required, and evacuation completion
time frames may be extended. Evacuees may be out of their homes and businesses for
many hours or days. Off-site collection sites and/or shelter areas may need to be
established and maintained for an extended time. Documentation and tracking of
evacuees may become very resource intensive. Close coordination with all responding
agencies may become more critical. Evacuation perimeters and security of the
evacuated area may be expanded and require more resources to maintain. The Renton
EOC will be activated to support the incident activities.
Mass Evacuation
A mass evacuation could be required due to a real or anticipated major disaster which
may impact multiple jurisdictions, a large geographic area, and hundreds of thousands
of people. The situation may require the implementation of regional evacuation and
sheltering operations. Local resources will be exhausted, and significant state and
federal assistance will be required to support the evacuation and sheltering operation.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 267
Communications
Maintaining communications and redundant systems throughout an evacuation will allow all
responding agencies to continue mission critical operations. Interagency communications
systems and procedures as outlined in the City of Renton CEMP Emergency Support Function
(ESF) 2: Communications, Information Systems, and Warning will be administered during
evacuations. The Executive Services Department Communications Division is the primary
agency responsible for external communications as identified in the City of Renton CEMP ESF
15: External Affairs.
Evacuation Operations
The sequence of an evacuation can be divided into six phases in the following order:
1. Incident Analysis
2. Warning
3. Preparation to Move
4. Movement and En Route Support
5. Reception and Support
6. Return
This portion of the annex identifies tools and resources that could be utilized in an emergency
evacuation situation. The IC will direct the development of specific evacuation plans and routes
at the time of the emergency, specific to the incident hazards known at the time of the event.
Incident Analysis
Evacuation management involves the collection and processing of significant amounts of
information from many sources. The Emergency Operations Center (EOC) will play a critical role
in the information flow to and from incident command and/or unified command posts.
Command and Control
The decision to evacuate prior to, during or following an incident will be made on a
case-by-case basis. The decision will depend upon the nature, scope and severity of the
emergency. Factors to consider are the number of people affected, actions necessary to
protect the public, and length of time available in which to effect evacuation. Activation
of the Renton EOC will likely be necessary. Though it is preferable to have an evacuation
order signed by the mayor (or designee) for any evacuation larger than a “Site
Evacuation”, the safety of the residents of Renton is the foremost concern. Evacuations
that are necessary to immediately protect lives will not be delayed due to the lack of
such an order.
There are three types of evacuations:
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 268
• Alert - Affected areas are warned of current or projected threats. Businesses and
residents with special needs, mobile property, business stock, and pets or
livestock should begin precautionary movement. The decision to evacuate
remains with the individual resident.
• Warning – An evacuation warning is appropriate when a hazard is likely to affect
residents and the certainty and severity of the hazard is moderate to high.
Evacuation is highly recommended but the decision to evacuate remains with
the individual. Residents are advised that there may be little to no advance
notice before an evacuation Order is issued. This evacuation will require more
resources to implement.
• Order - Current conditions present specific and immediate threat(s) to the life
and safety of persons within the identified area. Everyone must evacuate
immediately. When an evacuation Order is issued the amount of time available
to evacuate will be limited and depending on the events preceding and after the
Order may not be sufficient. This type of evacuation is very resource intensive.
Planning
The Planning Section will gather needed situational awareness information which may
include the following:
• The nature of the incident.
• Approximate number injured, if any.
• Location.
• Scale of evacuation area in terms of area and population.
• Best approach routes.
• Where responding units should report (staging area).
• If hazardous materials are involved.
• If evacuation and sheltering is necessary.
• Additional resources that may be needed.
• Weather and other conditions as events unfold.
Based on the information gathered by the planning section recommendations will be
made to the IC.
Operations
The Field IC will be responsible for assessing the situation and performing the following
tasks as necessary:
• Conduct rapid size-up and determine need to evacuate.
• Determine initial evacuation boundaries.
• Staff the command post and field ICS organization appropriately.
• Order the alert of outside agencies and departments and request activation
of the EOC.
• Provide the EOC with current status and request support if needed.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 269
Logistics and Finance
The Logistics Section will respond to all requested logistical needs and will look ahead to
identify future resource needs and availability based on information provided by the
Planning Section.
The Finance Section will ensure compliance with existing disaster financial policies,
make recommendations for emergency policies and establish administrative controls to
manage the expenditure of funds, provide reasonable accountability, and secure
necessary documentation for bill payment and reimbursement requests. They will assist
the Logistics Section with purchasing and acquisition needs.
Warning / Notification
The decision whether to evacuate must be carefully considered in terms of timing and nature of
the incident. An evacuation effort involves an organized and supervised effort to relocate
people from an area of danger to a safe location. Although evacuation is an effective means of
moving people out of a dangerous area, due to its complexity, length of time for
implementation, and the stress it puts upon the population, it is considered a last resort option.
Command and Control
The authority to initiate an evacuation, or warn, or notify the public rests with the
executive head of the jurisdiction, which may be delegated to a limited number of other
officials, but most commonly the Incident Commander (IC) in order to act swiftly to save
lives. The IC will immediately advise their administrator, who will advise the mayor and
the EOC Duty Officer. Whenever possible these decisions will be made in conjunction
with the mayor or designee. A Public Information Officer (PIO) will be added to the
Command Staff if not already assigned in order to facilitate communications, warning
and public Information requirements.
Planning
The Planning Section will be responsible for assembling the Incident Action Plan (IAP)
which includes operational tactics for evacuation.
Operations
All planning associated with the evacuation, including identification of alternate routes,
en route support and planning for re-entry. Communication efforts will follow the
protocols outlined in ESF 2 and ESF 15. Decisions regarding methods of notification and
warning will be made depending on the scale and immediacy of the evacuation and the
resources available.
Logistics and Finance
The Logistics Section will respond to all requested logistical needs and will look ahead to
identify future resource needs and availability based on information provided by the
Planning section.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 270
The Finance Section will ensure compliance with existing disaster financial policies,
make recommendations for emergency policies, establish administrative controls to
manage the expenditure of funds, provide reasonable accountability, and secure
necessary documentation for bill payment and reimbursement requests. They will assist
the Logistics Section with purchasing and acquisition needs.
Preparation to Move
The third phase in the evacuation function is to prepare to move those in the affected area. To
successfully implement a large-scale evacuation, it is essential that all affected communities,
regions and the state work together prior to and during the evacuation process. An effective
evacuation is closely dependent upon the provision and coordination of evacuation information
and instructions.
Command and Control
Once the decision has been made to evacuate, the IC shall direct personnel to carry out
the necessary activities and determine whether Unified Command (UC) with other
organizations is necessary. The IC will also have the responsibility for approving the
evacuation plan created by the Operations Section.
Planning
• The Planning Section will provide technical resources (e.g., GIS) to assist in
evacuation planning for which pre-plans do not exist, in cooperation with all
involved departments and agencies.
Operations – Preparation to Move
Any evacuation plan will be approved by the IC prior to implementation. Evacuation
planning considerations include, but are not limited to:
• Command structure: single jurisdiction, multiple jurisdiction or large area.
• Communication needs and availability. Whenever possible, evacuation
operations will be conducted on separate channels from response operations
and routine traffic. ESF 2 addresses communications, information systems and
warning.
• Implementation of a building marking or recording system that incorporates
three designations: 1) occupants have been informed and will evacuate; 2)
occupants notified but refused to evacuate; and 3) notification attempted but no
occupant available to receive (information should be posted on doors in that
event).
• Need for a mobile command post.
• Procedures for security and admission to restricted areas.
• Procedures to identify and credential those with authority to travel in restricted
areas (emergency vehicles, essential personnel, etc.).
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 271
• Number of buildings to be notified and number of personnel needed to conduct
notification in a given time period.
• Availability and issuance of personal protective equipment and devices when
needed.
• Ability to shelter-in-place versus evacuation as appropriate and ability to convey
such information to building occupants.
• Ability to brief all incident personnel on evacuation or shelter-in-place
procedures, building marking or recording system and critical life safety
information.
• Criteria that must be met before re-entry will be allowed and identification that
must be provided by occupants before they will be allowed to re-enter the
impacted area.
• Availability of neighboring jurisdiction, regional disaster plan, county, state and
federal assets to assist in evacuation.
The actual evacuation process would normally be managed in the Operations Section as
an Evacuation Branch. Additional branches or divisions may be needed including but not
limited to:
• Medical Branch
• Haz Mat Branch
• Fire/Rescue Branch
• Geographic Divisions within the Evacuation Branch
Evacuation Branch
Branch directors receive the plan and objectives from Command and direct groups in
completing them. The Evacuation Branch must be provided with sufficient resources to
effectively complete the task. Groups will also need to be established and report to the
Evacuation Branch officer. Group assignments within the Evacuation Branch will be
assigned as necessary. Groups to be considered include:
• Transportation Group
• Public Information Group
• Geographic Divisions (Multiple Groups)
• Police Liaison Group
• Staging Group
• Geographic Division
• Reception Division
• Shelter Division
• Other Agency Liaison Groups
• Other Divisions and Groups as necessary
Logistics and Finance
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 272
The Logistics Section will respond to all requested logistical needs and will look ahead to
identify future resource needs and availability based on information provided by the
Planning Section.
The Finance Section will ensure compliance with existing disaster financial policies,
make recommendations for emergency policies and establish administrative controls to
manage the expenditure of funds, provide reasonable accountability and secure
necessary documentation for bill payment and reimbursement requests. They will assist
the Logistics Section with purchasing and acquisition needs.
Movement and En Route Support
Many modes of transportation may be used to facilitate movement of evacuees. Ideally
evacuees will be responsible for providing their own transportation, but the city will assist with
transportation to the extent resources are available. Priority will be given to evacuees who are
physically unable to self-evacuate.
Command and Control
Command during the movement phase remains with the IC as described in the previous
section.
Planning
The primary mode of transportation that will be used during evacuation efforts will be
privately owned automobiles. However, it is critical that evacuation plans identify and
provide other safe modes of transportation for those people who have special needs
and/or cannot evacuate by private vehicle. The City of Renton owns limited
transportation assets that could be used for evacuation. The Regional Coordination
Framework allows for other local and regional transportation resources such as school
districts, Sound Transit, King County Metro, and others to be made available. If
transportation resources are needed, they may be requested through the King County
EOC. However, if the evacuation is regional these assets may not be available or
sufficient.
Additional planning efforts will be needed to address the needs of a population in
motion. It should be anticipated that evacuees en route may require fuel, towing, car
repair, medical services, water, food, and other items. Plans will also be needed for
staffing and security of evacuation pick-up and drop-off points.
Evacuation Route Determination
Primary evacuation routes consist of the major interstates, highways, and prime
arterials within and adjoining the City of Renton. The city will work with neighboring
jurisdictions, the county and state EOCs and other applicable agencies and departments
to identify evacuation points, shelter locations, and transportation routes.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 273
It will be necessary to identify evacuation points before evacuation routes are
announced to the public. Evacuation routes will be determined based on the location
and extent of the incident and will include as many pre-designated transportation
routes as possible. Important roadway characteristics and factors that should be
considered when selecting an evacuation route include:
• Shortest route to the designated destination areas.
• Maximum capacity.
• Ability to increase capacity and traffic flow using traffic control strategies.
• Maximum number of lanes that provide continuous flow through the evacuation
area.
• Availability of infrastructure to disseminate real-time conditions and messages to
evacuees in-route, such as variable message boards.
• Minimal number of potentially hazardous points and bottlenecks, such as
bridges, lane reductions, etc.
• Access to needed in-route support such as fuel, medical care, food, and water.
A map of the City of Renton arterial streets showing principal, minor and collector
arterials is attached as Attachment F. Traffic conditions must be monitored along
evacuation routes and operational adjustments should be made as necessary to
maximize efficiency. These adjustments may include the identification of secondary
evacuation routes.
A multi-jurisdictional evacuation will require close coordination with all affected
agencies to ensure that evacuation routes do not conflict.
Operations
If transportation resources are available, one or more staging areas may need to be established
as well as support operations to keep transportation resources running the duration of the
evacuation.
Individuals who do not have their own transportation to leave the evacuation area will need to
gather at identified pick-up points and be transported using alternate transportation resources.
These pick-up points should be sufficiently large enough to safely accommodate the anticipated
number of evacuees, out of imminent danger, must be easy to find, and must have sufficient
access for the types of transportation resource that will be using it. Well-known locations such
as schools, libraries, churches or shopping centers should be considered as pick-up points as
they are places that are easily identifiable and where people tend to gather.
Drop-off points to deliver evacuees will also need to be established outside the danger zone.
These drop-off points may be shelters ready to receive evacuees or may serve as staging areas
for evacuees to await future transportation to shelters. Pick-up and drop-off areas may need to
be staffed and supplied to meet the short-term needs of evacuees including food, water, and
medical services.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 274
Law enforcement resources may be needed at pick-up and drop-off points to facilitate the
movement of in-route populations. Law enforcement may also be needed to secure the
transportation resources staging area.
It will be critical to maintain communication between the pick-up and drop-off points,
transportation resource staging area, en route support, and Incident Command.
Logistics and Finance/Administration
The Logistics Section will respond to all requested logistical needs and will look ahead to
identify future resource needs and availability based on information provided by the
Planning Section.
The Finance Section will ensure compliance with existing disaster financial policies,
make recommendations for emergency policies, and establish administrative controls to
manage the expenditure of funds, provide reasonable accountability and secure
necessary documentation for bill payment and reimbursement requests. They will assist
the Logistics Section with purchasing and acquisition needs.
Reception and Support
The requirements for mass care support will vary depending upon the scope of the evacuation.
Shelter will initially be provided to evacuees through the establishment of evacuation pick-up
and drop-off points. These evacuation points will serve as temporary safe zones for evacuees
and will provide basic needs such as food, water and restrooms. The City of Renton may open
shelters within the city if it is a localized event or participate in regional shelter operations
during a larger scale event. ESF six (6) addresses mass care, emergency assistance, housing and
human services.
Command and Control
The City of Renton Parks and Recreation Department is the primary agency responsible
for ESF 6: Mass Care, Emergency Assistance, Housing, and Human Services but would
likely seek support from regional resources such as the ARC and other non-profit or
private organizations.
Planning
The ARC maintains a list of pre-approved shelters in the Renton area including capacity.
During an emergency, it is probable that unofficial or private shelters will be activated
and may request support or coordination from the city.
Operations
The city will partner will the ARC, when possible, to provide general population shelter
facilities. The city may utilize city employees as shelter workers pursuant to ESF 6 or may
utilize staffing with ARC staff and volunteers. Mass care supplies have been procured
and pre-staged at several locations in partnership with the ARC and King County Parks.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 275
Logistics and Finance
The Logistics Section will respond to all requested logistical needs and will look ahead to
identify future resource needs and availability based on information provided by the
Planning Section.
The Finance Section will ensure compliance with existing disaster financial policies,
make recommendations for emergency policies, establish administrative controls to
manage the expenditure of funds, provide reasonable accountability, and secure
necessary documentation for bill payment and reimbursement requests. They will assist
the Logistics Section with purchasing and acquisition needs.
Return
Command and Control
The decision to return evacuees to their homes will be the responsibility of the on-site
IC. The IC will retain control of the incident as residents are allowed to return to their
homes or workplaces.
Planning - Return
The Planning Section continues to gather information related to resource allocation and
incident needs, working with the Safety Officer, Operations Section Chief, and Incident
Commander to determine if and when to begin demobilization.
Operations
If re-entry is to be restricted or partial, the Operations Section must have procedures in
place to properly identify residents, support personnel, first responders, contractors,
insurance adjusters, media and others who have legitimate reasons to be in the
previously closed area. Staffing for re-entry points must be obtained, including
additional law enforcement personnel, if necessary. Transportation may need to be
provided for those who were transported out of the area initially. The IC will be
responsible for determining when re-entry has been completed and making appropriate
notifications. At this point, Operations may become a primarily human services-oriented
section and appropriate staff must be added to provide those services and related
information.
The planning section will jointly develop a return plan for evacuees coordinating with all
involved agencies and ensuring effective communication. Priorities for re-entry include:
• Safety
• Security
• Damage assessment
• Restoration of services
• Communication of information
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 276
The impacted areas must be thoroughly investigated to ensure it is safe for residents to
return. This assessment will include verification that:
• Structures and trees are deemed safe.
• Damage and safety assessments have been completed.
• There are no leaking or ruptured gas lines or downed power lines.
• Water and sewer lines have been repaired.
• Search and rescue operations have been completed.
• There are no hazardous materials that can threaten public safety or appropriate
warnings have been issued.
• Water has been deemed safe or appropriate warnings have been issued.
• Major transportation routes are passable, and debris have been removed from
public right-of-way.
• There is no threat to public safety and other significant hazards have been
eliminated.
The public will be notified of the re-entry status using communication methods outlined
in ESF 2 and ESF 15.
Logistics and Finance
The Logistics Section will respond to all requested logistical needs and will look ahead to
identify future resource needs and availability based on information provided by the
Planning Section.
The Finance Section will ensure compliance with existing disaster financial policies,
make recommendations for emergency policies, establish administrative controls to
manage the expenditure of funds, provide reasonable accountability, and secure
necessary documentation for bill payment and reimbursement requests. They will assist
the Logistics Section with purchasing and acquisition needs.
Administration
This Plan is an annex to the City of Renton’s CEMP and should be considered part of the CEMP
and updated accordingly. Many of the ESFs contained in the CEMP will be utilized during an
evacuation and should be referenced in any evacuation.
Resource Management
Evacuations can be resource intensive. The resources needed to conduct an evacuation will
depend on many factors. The city will use its available resources to conduct an evacuation until
such time as the scope of the evacuation overwhelms existing resources. Resource requests will
then be handled regionally through supportive agreements.
Supportive Agreements
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
October 2023 277
It is likely that an evacuation will overwhelm existing city capabilities. For additional resources
the city will look for support from mutual aid partners, neighboring jurisdictions and others as
outlined in the King County Regional Disaster Plan.
Emergency Funding Mechanisms
All agreements and understandings entered in to for the purchase, lease or use of equipment
and services will be in accordance with the provisions of Renton’s Municipal Code and
Procedures. If The Agreement, a financial memorandum of understanding which accompanies
the Regional Coordination Framework (RCF), is invoked to obtain resources from fellow
signatories to the RCF, the city agrees to pay the providing agency for the resources without
entering into normal contracting processes. An emergency proclamation issued by the mayor
may also suspend select rules and regulations affecting purchasing. All costs incurred in
conducting an evacuation must be stringently documented to seek reimbursement if eligible.
Post-Evacuation After-Action Reports
The city recognizes the value of conducting a debrief and creating an after-action report
following an evacuation This allows for the review of how the evacuation was executed and
helps to illustrate what can be done by involved parties to better prepare for the next event.
Plan Review and Maintenance
Planning is an ongoing process. The Evacuation Annex will need to be adapted to reflect growth
and change of the city and its surrounding jurisdictions. This annex should be evaluated and
updated along with the entire CEMP at least every five years. It may also be necessary to
update this annex following an event in accordance with the after-action report or as new
policies or programs are implemented that would impact an evacuation.
Training and Exercise
The Evacuation Annex will be incorporated in trainings and exercises in accordance with the
city’s multi-year training and exercise schedule and the Homeland Security Exercise and
Evaluation Program (HSEEP) guidelines.
References
The city maintains memorandums of understanding (MOUs) with a variety of other entities
including businesses and non-governmental organizations for services during emergencies or
disasters. A list is available at Q:\Emergency Management\Memorandums of Understanding.
Additional department-specific MOUs may also be of use during an evacuation and can be
obtained from department administrators.
Many plans, reports and technical data were referenced and incorporated into the Evacuation
Annex. The following is a comprehensive list of sources:

Effect of Schedule. This schedule establishes default base penalties for violations of the Renton Municipal Code that are issued as infractions under the authority of RCW 7.80 RCW, but these
penalties do not include any state‐imposed statutory assessments. Except as otherwise prohibited by law or court rule, a court with jurisdiction over the infraction may impose on a defendant a lesser
penalty in an individual case. Provided that, whenever the base penalty plus mandatory statutory assessments results in a total payment that is not an even dollar amount, the base penalty is deemed
to be amended to a higher amount which produces the next greatest even dollar total
Penalties Established by Court Rule or Specific Penalty Established by Law. This schedule does not apply to penalties established by state or local court rule or to a penalty that is established in law
with a specific amount (i.e. ordinance or statute setting a penalty equal to a specified amount rather than a penalty up to a maximum amount). To the extent a penalty scheduled herein conflicts with
a state or local court rule or a penalty that is established in law, this schedule shall be deemed preempted by the court rule or penalty established in law

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This Six-Year Capital Facilities Plan (the "Plan") has been prepared by the Issaquah School District (the
“District”) as the District's primary facility planning document, in compliance with the requirements of
Washington's Growth Management Act and King County Council Code Title 21A. This Plan was
prepared using data available in April 2023.
This Plan is an update of prior long-term Capital Facilities Plans adopted by the Issaquah School
District. However, this Plan is not intended to be the sole Plan for all of the District's needs. The District
may prepare interim and periodic Long Range Capital Facilities Plans consistent with board policies,
taking into account a longer or a shorter time period, other factors and trends in the use of facilities, and
other needs of the District as may be required. Any such plan or plans will be consistent with this Six-
Year Capital Facilities Plan.
In June 1992, the District first submitted a request to King County to impose and to collect school impact
fees on new developments in unincorporated King County. On November 16, 1992, the King County
Council first adopted the District's Plan and a fee implementing ordinance. This Plan is the annual
update of the Six-Year Plan.
King County and the cities of Issaquah, Renton, Bellevue, Newcastle and Sammamish collect impact
fees on behalf of the District. Most of these jurisdictions provide exemptions from impact fees for senior
housing and certain low-income housing.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Growth Management Act, this Plan will be updated on an annual
basis, and any charges in the fee schedule(s) adjusted accordingly.

STANDARD OF SERVICE
School facility and student capacity needs are dictated by the types and amounts of space required to
accommodate the District’s adopted educational program. The educational program standards which
typically drive facility space needs include grade configuration, optimal facility size, class size,
educational program offerings, as well as classroom utilization and scheduling requirements and use of
re-locatable classroom facilities (portables).
Different class sizes are used depending on the grade level or programs offered such as special
education or the gifted program. With the passage of Initiative 728 in November 2000, the Issaquah
School Board established new class size standards for elementary grades K-5. The Board and District
Administration will continue to keep class sizes near the levels provided by I -728; this will be done via
local levy funds. There is also legislation that requires the State to fund Full-Day Kindergarten by 2018.
The District provided Full-Day Kindergarten beginning in the 2016-2017 school year. A class size
average of 20 for grades K-5 is now being used to calculate building capacities. A class size of 26 is
used for grades 6-8 and 28 for grades 9-12. Special Education class size is based on 12 students per
class. For the purpose of this analysis, rooms designated for special use, consistent with the provisions
of King County Council Code Title 21A, are not considered classrooms.
Invariably, some classrooms will have student loads greater in number than this average level of service
and some will be smaller. Program demands, state and federal requirements, collective bargaining
agreements, and available funding may also affect this level of service in the years to come. Due to
these variables, a utilization factor of 95% is used to adjust design capacities to what a building may
actually accommodate.
Portables used as classrooms are used to accommodate enrollment increases for interim purposes
until permanent classrooms are available. When permanent facilities become available, the portable(s)
is either moved to another school as an interim classroom or removed.
The King County decision to no longer allow schools to be built outside the Urban Growth Boundary
Line (UGBL) means District owned property planned for a new elementary school and middle school
could not be used for its long planned purpose. The District sold this planned site to a third party. The
District has acquired one high school site, two elementary school sites and one middle school site inside
the UGBL. The State does not provide funding for property purchases.
The District’s voters approved the 2016 Bond to provide funding or a new high school, new middle
school, two new elementary schools, a rebuild/expansion of an existing middle school and additions to
six existing elementary schools. All of those projects are now complete with the exception of the new
high school and one new elementary school, which are both discussed further in this Capital Facilities
Plan and will require additional funding sources. The District’s voters recently passed a capital levy that
will add, in part, funding for the high school. Additional funding for the elementary school is anticipated
to be pursued during the six-year planning period.

TRIGGER OF CONSTRUCTION
The Issaquah School District Capital Facilities Plan proposes construction of a new high school and a
new elementary school to meet capacity at the elementary and high school related to recent and
ongoing enrollment growth needs. The District recently completed construction of a new elementary
school, Cedar Trails Elementary School, a new middle school, Cougar Mountain Middle School, as well
as additions at several elementary schools to help address recent growth needs. The need for new
schools and school additions is triggered by comparing our enrollment forecasts with our permanent
capacity figures. These forecasts are by grade level and, to the extent possible, by geography. The
analysis provides a list of new construction needed by school year.
The decision on when to construct a new facility involves factors other than verified need. Funding is
the most serious consideration. Factors including the potential tax rate for our citizens, the availability
of state funds and impact fees, the ability to acquire land, and the ability to pass bond issues determine
when any new facility can be constructed. New school facilities are a response, in part, to new housing
which the county or cities have approved for construction.
The District's Six-Year Finance Plan is shown in Appendix E.
DEVELOPMENT TRACKING AND STUDENT GENERATION RATES
In order to increase the accuracy and validity of enrollment projections, a major emphasis has been
placed on the collection and tracking data of known new housing developments. This data provides
two useful pieces of planning information. First, it is used to determine the actual number of students
that are generated from a single family or multi-family residence. It also provides important information
on the impact new housing developments will have on existing facilities and/or the need for additional
facilities.
Developments that have been completed or are still selling houses are used to forecast the number of
students who will attend our schools from future developments. The District used a third-party
consultant to review recent development data and provide updated student generation rates for
elementary school, middle school and high school student per new single-family residence and new
multi-family housing. Updated rates are shown in Table 2.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. b)
Page 6 of 24
NEED FOR IMPACT FEES AND GROWTH-RELATED CAPACITY NEEDS
The District relies on school impact fee revenue to help fund growth-related capacity needs. However,
by law, impact fees can only be used to fund a portion of a capacity project. State funding and impact
fees are also not reliable sources of revenue. As a result, the District must also rely on local funding to
fund school construction. The District has two growth-related capacity projects included in this Capital
Facilities Plan: a new high school and a new elementary school. The voters funded the projects as a
part of the April 2016 bond and (for the high school) the April 2022 capital levy. The District utilized
funds from the 2016 Bond to purchase property for the two schools and to engage in design and
permitting work. Additional funding, aside from impact fee revenue and State School Construction
Assistance Program dollars, is needed to construct the two schools.
As demonstrated in Appendix A the District currently has a permanent capacity (at 95%) to serve
8,763 students at the elementary level. This leaves the District’s elementary enrollment under
permanent capacity by 454 students (current enrollment is identified on page 9).
As demonstrated in Appendix B the District currently has a permanent capacity (at 95%) to serve
4,946 students at the middle school level. This leaves the District’s middle school enrollment under
permanent capacity by 321 students (current enrollment is identified on page 9).
As demonstrated in Appendix C the District currently has a permanent capacity (at 95%) to serve
4,921 students at the high school level. This leaves the District’s high school enrollment over
permanent capacity by 694 students (current enrollment is identified on page 9).
Based on the District’s student generation rates (Table 2), the District expects that 0.589 students will
be generated from each new single family home and 0.147 students will be generated from each new
multi-family dwelling unit.
Applying the enrollment projections contained on page 9 to the District’s existing permanent capacity
(Appendices A, B, and C) and if no capacity improvements are made by the year 2028-29, and
permanent capacity is adjusted to 95%, the District elementary population will be over its permanent
capacity by 329 students, under permanent capacity at the middle school level by 284 students, and
over permanent capacity by 776 students at the high school level. Importantly, the above figures
incorporate recently completed growth-projects at the elementary and middle school levels. The
District’s enrollment projections are developed using two methods: first, the cohort survival – historical
enrollment method is used to forecast enrollment growth based upon the progression of existing
students in the District; then, the enrollment projections are modified to include students anticipated
from new developments in the District.

The District recently opened the new Cougar Mountain Middle School, with permanent capacity of 787,
and the new Cedar Trails Elementary School, with permanent capacity of 471 students. Both schools
were funded by the April 2016 bond and provide capacity to serve new growth.
Based upon the District’s capacity data and enrollment projections, as well as the student generation
data, the District has determined that the planned new high school and new elementary school are
needed, in part, to provide capacity improvements necessary to serve students generated by recent
and ongoing new residential development.
The school impact fee formula ensures that new development only pays for the cost of the facilities
necessitated by new development. The fee calculations examine the costs of housing the students
generated by each new single family dwelling unit or each new multi-family dwelling unit and then
reduces that amount by credits for the anticipated state match and future tax payments. The resulting
impact fee is then discounted as required by local ordinances. Thus, by applying the student generation
factor to the school project costs, the fee formula only calculates the costs of providing capacity to serve
each new dwelling unit. The formula does not require new development to contribute the costs of
providing capacity to address existing needs.
The King County Council and the City Councils of the cities of Bellevue, Issaquah, Newcastle, Renton
and Sammamish have created a framework for collecting school impact fees and the District can
demonstrate that new developments will have an impact on the District. The impact fees will be used
in a manner consistent with RCW 82.02.050-110 and the adopted local ordinances. Engrossed Senate
Bill 5923, enacted in the 2015 Legislative Session, requires that developers be provided an option to
defer payment of impact fees to final inspection, certificate of occupancy, or closing, with no fees
deferred longer than 18 months from building permit issuance. The District adopts the positions
that: (1) no school impact fee should be collected later than the earlier of final inspection or 18 months
from the time of building permit issuance; and (2) no developer applicant should be permitted to defer
payment of school impact fees for more than 20 dwelling units in a single year. The District’s recent
and ongoing student growth, coupled with the need for the timely funding and construction of new
facilities to serve this growth, requires strict adherence to this position.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. b)
Page 8 of 24
ENROLLMENT METHODOLOGY
Two basic techniques are used, with the results compared, to establish the most likely range of anticipated
student enrollment:
1. The student 3-2-1 cohort survival method. Examine Issaquah School District enrollments for the last
5 years and determine the average cohort survival for the consecutive five-year period. Because
cohort survival does not consider students generated from new development it is a conservati ve
projection of actual enrollment. For the same reason, these projections are also slow to react to
actual growth. The cohort method is also hampered by the fact that it does account for anomalies
affecting enrollment (for example, the Covid-19 pandemic, temporary remote learning and the
variations in the transition back to in-person learning).
2. Based on information from King County, realtors, developers, etc., the District seeks to establish the
number of new dwelling units that will be sold each year and converts those units to new students
based on the following:
a) The number of actual new students as a percentage of actual new dwellings for the past several
years. (The student generation factors are shown in Table 2)
b) Determine the actual distribution of new students by grade level for the past several years, i.e.,
5% to kindergarten, 10% to first grade, 2% to 11th grade, etc.
c) Based on an examination of the history shown by (a) and (b) above, establish the most likely
factor to apply to the projected new dwellings.
After determining the expected new students, the current actual student enrollments are moved forward from
year to year with the arrived at additions.
One of the challenges associated with all projection techniques is that, where new development is in the
pipeline, they tend to always show growth because the number of houses and the general population always
increases. Enrollments, however, can and do decrease even as the population increases. The reason is as
the population matures, the number of kindergartners will go down as the number of 10th graders is still
increasing. To adjust for this factor, the number of school age children per dwelling is examined. When this
number exceeds expectations, it is probably because the District is still assuming kindergarten growth, while
the main growth is actually moving into middle school. When this happens, a reduction factor is added to
kindergarten to force it to decrease even though the general population continues to grow. A precise
statistical formula has not been developed to make this adjustment.
After all of the projections have been made and examined, the most likely range is selected. An examination
of past projections compared with actual enrollment indicates the cohorts tend to be more accurate over a
ten-year time span while dwelling units tend to be more accurate over a shorter period. The probable reason
is that over a ten-year period, the projections tend to average out even though there are major shifts both up
and down within the period.
The Covid-19 pandemic has complicated projections in recent years. The District has experienced a return
to in-person learning in the last two years but continues to monitor student enrollment closely. As with last
year’s projections, this year’s projections are more conservative than in previous years to allow the District
to gather additional data and experience. Like other districts, the District is also experiencing fewer students
at the high school level enrolling in Running Start options and instead choosing to be fully enrolled in the
District 9-12 program.
Enrollment projections for the years 2023-2024 through 2036-2037 are shown in Table 1 (page 9). These
projections are conservative in the near-term (within a 5 year period). The District assumes that a post-
pandemic increase in enrollment will occur, but does not believe our historical peak enrollment will be
reached within the next 7 years. The District however, could have a large uptick in enrollment depending
upon land use decisions, housing and labor market, etc. The District will monitor these matters and include
updated information in future updates to the Capital Facilities Plan.

INVENTORY AND EVALUATION OF CURRENT FACILITIES
Currently, using the 95% utilization factor, the District has the capacity to house 18,630 students in
permanent facilities and 4,290 students in portables. While portables are critical for interim capacity
needs, they are not desirable nor long-term capacity solutions. The District looks to its permanent
capacity, as adjusted for utilization, for purposes of determining growth-related needs and addressing
school capacity. The projected student enrollment for the 2023-2024 school year is expected to be
18,549 which leaves a permanent capacity overage of 80. Enrollment projections indicate permanent
capacity needs at the elementary and high school levels over the six-year planning period.
Calculations of elementary, middle school and high school capacities are shown in Appendices A, B
and C. Totals are shown in Appendix D.

THE ISSAQUAH SCHOOL DISTRICT'S
SIX-YEAR CONSTRUCTION PLAN
The District's Six-Year Finance Plan is shown in Appendix E. Shown in Table 3 is the District's projected
capacity to house students, which reflects the additional facilities as noted. Voters passed a $533
million bond in April 2016 to fund the purchase of land for and construction of a new high school, a new
middle school, two new elementary schools, the rebuild/expansion of an existing middle school and
additions to six existing elementary schools. The voters also funded an April 2022 capital levy to provide
additional funding for the high school project as well as other projects. The District does anticipate
receiving State matching funds for High School #4 project that would reduce future bond sale amounts
or be applied to new K-12 construction projects included in this Plan. The District will need additional
funding to construct the new high school and new elementary school. The District anticipates seeking
additional funding within six years. Secured funding will be identified in future updates to this CFP.
The District also anticipates that it will receive $500,000 in impact fees and mitigation payments that
will be applied to capital projects.
The District projects 18,549 FTE students for the 2023-2024 school year and 19,451 FTE students in
the 2028-2029 school year. Growth will be accommodated by the planned facilities. Per the formula in
the adopted school impact fee ordinance, half of the unfunded growth-related need is assigned to impact
fees and half is the local share.

AGENDA ITEM # 8. b)
I - Executive Summary
This Six-Year Capital Facilities Plan has been prepared by the Kent School District as the
organization's capital facilities planning document, in compliance with the requirements of
Washington's Growth Management Act, King County Code K.C.C. 21A.43 and Cities of Kent,
Covington, Renton, Auburn, Black Diamond, Maple Valley, and SeaTac. This annual Plan
update was prepared using data available in the spring of 2023 for the 2023-2024 school
year. This annual update of the Plan reflects no new major capital projects.
This Plan is consistent with prior long-term capital facilities plans adopted by the Kent
School District. This Plan is not intended to be the sole planning document for all the
district's needs. The district may prepare interim and periodic Long-Range Capital Facilities
Plans consistent with Board Policies, considering a longer or shorter period, other factors
and trends in the use of facilities, and other needs of the district as may be required.
Prior Capital Facilities Plans of the Kent School District have been adopted by
Metropolitan King County Council and Cities of Kent, Covington, Auburn, and Renton and
included in the Capital Facilities Plan element of the Comprehensive Plans of each
jurisdiction. This Plan has also been submitted to the cities of Black Diamond, Maple
Valley, and SeaTac for their information and inclusion in their Comprehensive Plans.
In order for impact fees to be collected in the unincorporated areas of Kent School
District, the Metropolitan King County Council must adopt this Plan and a fee- implementing
ordinance for the District. For impact fees to be collected in the incorporated portions of the
District, the cities of Kent, Covington, Renton and Auburn must also adopt this Plan and
their own school impact fee ordinances.
This Capital Facilities Plan establishes a standard of service in order to ascertain current
and future capacity. While the State Superintendent of Public Instruction establishes
square footage guidelines for capacity, those guidelines do not account for local program
needs in the District. The Growth Management Act, King County and City codes and
ordinances authorize the District to make adjustments to the standard of service based
on specific needs for students of the District.
This Plan includes the standard of service as established by Kent School District.
Functional capacity is based on an average capacity and updated to reflect changes to
special programs served in each building. Portables in the interim capacity calculation use
the same standard of service as the permanent facilities.
1
AGENDA ITEM # 8. b)
The capacity of each school in the District is calculated based on the District’s standard of
service and the existing inventory of permanent facilities. The District's program capacity
of permanent facilities reflects program changes and the state’s mandated reduction of class
size to meet the standard of service for Kent School District. Portables provide additional
interim capacity.
Kent School District is the fifth largest (FTE basis) district in the state. Enrollment is
electronically reported monthly to the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction
(“OSPI”) on Form P-223. Although funding apportionment is based on Annual Average Full Time
Equivalent (AAFTE), enrollment on October 1 is a widely recognized “snapshot in time” that is
used to report the District’s enrollment for the year as reported to OSPI.
The District's standard of service, enrollment history and projections, and use of interim
facilities are reviewed in detail in various sections of this Plan. The District plans to continue
to satisfy concurrency requirements through the interim use of portables.
This Plan currently represents projects in process funded primarily by the Kent School District’s
2016 Bond, as well as the 2018 Capital Levy. Additional information about these projects can
be found on the District’s capital projects homepage (link). Additionally, project updates sent
to our community of stakeholders can be accessed on the KSD website (link).
Based on revised student generation rates, our capacity and enrollment projections, the
District will stay current with non-collection of student impact fee rate for the coming year.
For a short overview, see Section IX (Summary of Changes to the June 2022 Capital Facilities
Plan).

AGENDA ITEM # 8. b)
II - Six - Year Enrollment Projection
For capital facilities planning, enrollment growth projections are based on cohort survival and
student yield from documented residential construction projected over the next six years (See
Table 2). For this Plan, the district relied substantially on the results from Dr. Les Kendrick’s
study of long-range enrollment forecasts for the Kent School District in the Winter of 2022.
King County live births and the District's relational percentage average were used to determine
the number of kindergartners entering the system (See Table 2). 7.49% of 24,337 King County
live births in 2018 is projected for 1,824 students expected in Kindergarten for October 1,
2023. This is a decrease of 937 live births in King County over the previous year.
Early Childhood Education students (also identified as “ECE”), “Early Childhood Special
Education (“ECSE”) students are forecast and reported to OSPI separately on Form P-223H for
Special Education Enrollment. Capacity is reserved to serve students in the ECE programs at
elementary schools.
In addition to live birth data, enrollment projections for October 1, 2023 going forward rely
upon the results of the enrollment study by Dr. Kendrick, utilizing the “medium growth”
methodology.
Within practical limits, the District has kept abreast of proposed developments. The District
will continue to track new development activity to determine impact to schools. Information
on new residential developments and the completion of these proposed developments in all
jurisdictions will be considered in the District's future analysis of growth projections.
The Kent School District serves eight permitting jurisdictions: unincorporated King County, the
cities of Kent, Covington, Renton, and Auburn and smaller portions of the cities of SeaTac,
Black Diamond, and Maple Valley.

AGENDA ITEM # 8. b)
STUDENT GENERATION FACTOR
"Student Factor" is defined by King County code as "the number derived by a school district to
describe how many students of each grade span are expected to be generated by a dwelling
unit" based on district records of average actual student generated rates for developments
completed within the last ten years.
Following these guidelines, the student generation rate for Kent School District is as follows:
Single Family Elementary .248
Middle School .085
Senior High .107
Total .440
Multi-Family Elementary .130
Middle School .049
Senior High .056
Total .235
The student generation factor is based on 1,728 new SFD (Single Family Detached) units built
between 2017 and 2021. The student generation factor is based on 1,526 new MF (Multi-
Family) units built during the same period. The multi-family units consisted of 1,222
apartment units and 340 townhome units.
The District sees an average of 44 students for every 100 single family units that are built and
an average of 24 students for every 100 multi-family units that are built. The rate for
apartment units is higher than for townhome units. The District sees an average of 29 students
for every 100 apartment units.
The student generation rate also varies among apartment developments, based on the
number of bedrooms in the unit. Units with three plus bedrooms have much higher student
generation rates than units that have two or fewer bedrooms. Noting these differences can
help the District when planning for future growth from housing.
In preparing the 2022-2023 to 2028-2029 Capital Facilities Plan the District contracted with
Educational Data Solutions, LLC led by Dr. Les Kendricks, a noted expert in demographic
studies for school districts, to analyze and prepare the student generation factor.
Within the district’s borders there are several income-based and multi-family housing projects
coming on-line in 2022/2023. Once developed with occupancy occurring the District does
recognize that the student generation for multi-family housing may impact future Capital
Facilities Plan updates. One multi-family project worth noting, Covington Commons which
appears to have many units with three-plus bedrooms and is likely to show better student
growth than the medium project once completed.

AGENDA ITEM # 8. b)
III - Current Kent School District “Standard of Service"
In order to determine the capacity of facilities in a school district, King County
Code 21A.06.1225 references a "standard of service" that each school district
must establish in order to ascertain its overall capacity. The standard of service
identifies the program year, the class size, the number of classrooms, students
and programs of special need, and other factors determined by the
District which would best serve the student population.
This Plan includes the standard of service as established by Kent School District.
The District has identified schools with significant special needs programs as
“impact” schools and the standard of service targets a lower-class size at those
facilities. Portables included in the capacity calculation use the same standard
of service as the permanent facilities.
The standard of service defined herein will continue to evolve in the future.
Kent School District is continuing a long-term strategic planning process
combined with review of changes to capacity and standard of service. This
process will affect various aspects of the District's standard of service and future
changes will be reflected in future capital facilities plans.
Current Standards of Service for Elementary Students
•Class size ratio for grades K - 3 is planned for an average of 23 students
per class, not to exceed 26.
•Class size ratio for grades 4 - 6 is planned for an average of 27 students
per class, not to exceed 29.
Some special programs require specialized classroom space and the program
capacity of some of the buildings housing these programs is reduced. Some
students, for example, leave their regular classroom for a short period of time
to receive instruction in special programs and space must be allocated to serve
these programs.
Students may also be provided with music instruction and physical education
in a separate classroom or facility.
Some identified students will also be provided educational opportunities in
classrooms for special programs such as those designated as follows:
Multilingual Learner Education (MLE)
Education for Disadvantaged Students (Title I) – Federal Program Learning
Assisted Programs (LAP) – State Program
7
AGENDA ITEM # 8. b)
Highly Capable Students – State Program
Reading, math or science Labs
Dual Language Programs in four elementary schools and one middle school
Inclusive Education Service for Elementary and Secondary students with
disabilities may be provided in a separate or self-contained classroom
sometimes with a capacity of 10-15 students, depending on the program.
Current District Standards of Service for Secondary Students
The standards of service outlined below reflect only those programs and
educational opportunities provided to secondary students which directly affect
the capacity of the school buildings per the negotiated collective bargaining
agreement with KEA.
•The average class size ratio for grades 7–8 is 30 students per class and
143 students per day, with a maximum daily class load/enrollment of 150
based on five class periods per day.
•The average class size ratio for grades 9-12 is 32 students per class and
153 students per day, with a maximum daily class load/enrollment of 160
based on five class periods per day.
Like Inclusive Education Programs listed above, many other secondary programs
require specialized classroom space which can reduce the functional capacity of
the permanent school buildings, such as technology labs, performing arts
activities, a variety of career and technical education programs, and other
specialized programs.
Space or Classroom Utilization
As a result of scheduling conflicts for student programs, the need for specialized
rooms for certain programs, and the need for teachers to have a workspace during
their planning periods, it is not possible to achieve 100% utilization of regular
teaching stations at secondary schools. Based on the analysis of actual utilization of
classrooms, the Kent School District has determined that the standard utilization
rate is 95% for secondary schools. Functional capacity at elementary schools reflects
100% utilization at the elementary level.

AGENDA ITEM # 8. b)
IV - Inventory and Capacity of Existing Schools
Currently, the District has permanent functional capacity to house 33,847 students and
interim (portable) capacity to house 4,161. This capacity is based on the District's Standard of
Service as set forth in Section III. Included in this Plan is an inventory of the District's schools
by type, address and current capacity (See Table 3). The ratio between permanent capacity
and portable capacity is 87.8% - 12.2%.
The functional capacity is periodically updated for changes in the programs, additional
classrooms, and new schools. Functional capacity has been updated in this Plan to reflect
program changes implemented in the Fall of 2022.
Calculation of Elementary, Middle School and Senior High School capacities are set forth in
Appendices A, B, and C. Maps of existing schools are included.
For clarification, the following is a brief description of some of the non-traditional programs
for students in Kent School District:
iGrad - Kent School District has developed the Individualized Graduation and Degree Program
or “iGrad”. iGrad is an Open Door (Drop-out Reengagement) School that offers a second plus
chance to students aged 16-21 who have dropped out of high school or are at risk of not
earning a high school diploma by age 21. iGrad is not included in this Capital Facilities Plan,
because it is served as a leased space at the Kent Hill Plaza Shopping Center. Over the past
three years, enrollment in the iGrad program has averaged over 250 students.
Kent Virtual Academy - The Kent Virtual Academy is open to grades 6-12 and is currently
serving 171 students. The virtual school offers a flexible learning experience designed to
engage students when and where they work best. Each school day will include a combination
of live (synchronous) virtual instruction and on-demand (asynchronous) learning opportunities
outside of a traditional bell schedule. Students can attend live virtual lessons with their
teachers and classmates, participate in live virtual class or small group discussions, check-in or
meet with teachers, watch recorded video lessons, work independently on projects and
lessons, participate in learning experiences outside the school setting for credit or to meet
competencies. Virtual school students may also attend their boundary school for select classes
and services.

V - Six-Year Planning and Construction Plan
In November 2016, the voters of the Kent School District approved a bond measure for
$252 million. This bonding authority provided for the replacement of Covington Elementary
school, which opened in August of 2018, the new River Ridge Elementary school, and our new
Kent Laboratory Academy, which both opened in August 2021.
As a critical component of capital facilities planning, county and city planners and decision -
makers are encouraged to consider safe walking conditions for all students when reviewing
applications and design plans for new roads and developments. This should include sidewalks
for pedestrian safety to and from school and bus stops as well as bus pull -outs and turn-
arounds.
Included in this Plan is an inventory of potential projects and sites identified by the District which
are potentially acceptable site alternatives in the future (See Table 4 & Sitemap).
Voter approved bond issues have included funding for the purchase of sites for some of these
and future schools, and the sites acquired to date are included in this Plan. Some funding is
secured for the purchase of additional sites, but some may be funded with impact fees as
needed. Not all undeveloped properties meet current school construction requirements, and
some property may be traded or sold to meet future facility needs.
The Board will continue an annual review of standards of service and those dec isions will be
reflected in each update of the Capital Facilities Plan.
Our District went out for a Bond Measure in April of 2023 and did not receive enough votes
for approval. We are currently re-evaluating district needs and looking at next steps that align
with the Strategic Plan which continues to make a priority to revitalize, rejuvenate and rebuild
our aging schools as well as begin a process to remove interim classroom portables and find
room or create permanent structures to reduce and eventually eliminate the more than 166
portable classrooms in our district. We will continue to determine capacity versus enrollment
as well as programs to ensure this goal to reduce and or eliminate all portables in our district
is obtained in the next several years.
As a part of the planning process, the District has been tracking a few major development
projects which have affected enrollment and will continue to increase students' forecasts. On
Meeker Street in Kent we have seen several major apartment complexes, ETHOS and Midtown
64 Apartments. These continue to have an impact on enrollment as they fill up their newly
built facilities. Alexian Gateway Project is located on the corner of Military Road and Veterans
Drive in Kent and will begin occupying its 283 planned units in 2023-2024.
In Covington, we are tracking a multi-family house development which has been approved and
construction has begun. The 1700-unit Lakepointe Urban Community will fall within our
14
AGENDA ITEM # 8. b)
enrollment boundary and proposed completion of Phase 4 is shown to be 2027 .
Construction in the Kent School District boundaries have been steadily rising over the last four
years and planned communities are now being recognized through the planning teams in
multiple city and county jurisdictions we serve.

VI - Portable Classrooms
The Plan references use of portables as interim capacity for facilities.
Currently, the District utilizes portables to house students more than functional capacity and for
program purposes at some school locations (Please see Appendices A, B, C).
Based on enrollment projections, implementation of full day kindergarten programs, lower
state mandated class sizes, functional capacity, and no need for additional interim capacity,
the District anticipates no need to purchase or lease additional portables during the next six -
year period to ensure capacity requirement (Noted in section V. Six Yr. Planning Construction).
During the time period covered by this Plan, the District does not anticipate that all of the
District’s portables will be replaced by permanent facilities. During the useful life of some of
the portables, the school-age population may decline in some communities and increase in
others, and these portables provide the flexibility to accommodate the immediate needs of
the community.
Portables may be used as interim facilities:
1. To prevent overbuilding or overcrowding of permanent school facilities.
2. To cover the gap between the times of demand for increased capacity and
completion of permanent school facilities to meet that demand.
3. To meet unique program requirements.
Portables currently in the District’s inventory are continually evaluated resulting in some being
improved and some replaced or when possible, be removed due to life expectancy. The
Districts goal is to reduce and or eliminate all portables so we may provide an equitable
learning environment for all.
The Plan projects that the District will use portables to accommodate interim housing needs
for the next six years and beyond. The use of portables, their impacts on permanent facilities,
life cycle and operational costs, and the interrelationship between portables, emerging
technologies, and educational restructuring will continue to be examined.

AGENDA ITEM # 8. b)
VII - Projected Six-Year Classroom Capacity
As stated in Section IV, the functional capacity study is periodically updated for changes in
special programs and reflects class size requirements, class size fluctuations etc. As shown in
the Inventory and Capacity chart in Table 3, the functional capacity is also reflected in the
capacity and enrollment comparison charts (See Tables 5 & 5 a-b-c).
Enrollment is electronically reported to OSPI on Form P-223 on a monthly basis and funding
apportionment is based on Annual Average FTE (AAFTE). The first school day of October is
widely recognized as the enrollment “snapshot in time” to report enrollment for the year.
Kent School District continues to be the fifth largest district (both FTE and headcount basis)
in the state of Washington. The P-223 Headcount for October 2022 was 24,482 with
kindergarten students counted at 1.0 and excluding ECSE and college-only Running Start
students.
In October 2022, there were an additional 877 students in 11th and 12th grade participating
in the Running Start program at different colleges and receiving credits toward both high
school and college graduation. Of these students, 486 attended classes only at the college
(“college-only”) and are excluded from FTE and headcount for capacity and enrollment
comparisons. Kent School District has one of the highest Running Start program
participation rates in the state.
Based on the enrollment forecasts, permanent facility inventory and capacity,
current standard of service, portable capacity, and future additional classroom space, the
District plans to continue to satisfy required capacity through the interim use of portables
(See Table 5 and Tables 5 a-b-c).
While the district currently shows available capacity to address projected need on a purely
statistical basis, there are variety of extenuating factors that need to be considered. The Kent
School District currently makes significant use of portables, which we do not consider as part
of our permanent standard of service. We have included portable space in our interim
capacity figures, and we do not count that as a permanent space solution. Kent is unusual in
that it incorporates neighborhoods intersecting with at least 6 municipalities, including Kent ,
Auburn, Black Diamond, Maple Valley, Renton, and SeaTac. The district covers 73 square miles
and includes over 40 schools. Within this large geographic area, we expect to have pockets of
localized capacity need that are not necessarily reflected in the aggregate figures. As one
example, the Lakepointe Urban Village development in Covington may require new classroom
capacity even as space may exist in schools on the far other end of the district’s boundaries.

AGENDA ITEM # 8. b)
VIII - Finance Plan
The finance plan shown on Table 6 demonstrates how the Kent School District plans to finance
improvements for the years 2022-2023 through 2028-2029. The financing components include
secured and unsecured funding and impact fees. The plan is based on future bond issues, state
school construction assistance, collection of impact fees under the State Growth Management
Act and voluntary mitigation fees paid pursuant to State Environmental Policy Act.
In November 2016, the District held a special election to approve the authorization of
$252,000,000 in bonding authority. The projects described below are part of this
authorization. The first series of bonds ($80 million) were issued in February 2017, which
funded the Covington Elementary Replacement School, as well as other infrastructure
projects. Impact fees were used at both River Ridge Elementary School and Kent Laboratory
Academy projects due to escalation in construction pricing across the Pacific Northwest.
According to RCW 82.02.090, the definition of an impact fee is ". . . a payment of money
imposed upon development as a condition of development approval to pay for public facilities
needed to serve new growth and development, and that is reasonably related to the new
development that creates additional demand and need for public facilities, that is a
proportionate share of the cost of the public facilities, and that is used for facilities that
reasonably benefit the new development. `Impact fee' does not include a reasonab le permit
or application fee." Mitigation or impact fees can be calculated on the basis of "unhoused
student need" or "the maintenance of a district's level of service" as related to new residential
development.
A mitigation/impact fee may be imposed based upon a determination of insufficient existing
permanent and/or interim portable school space or to pay for permanent and/or newly
acquired interim portable school space previously constructed as a result of growth in the
district. A district's School Board must first approve the application of the mitigation or impact
fees and, in turn, approval must then be granted by the other general government jurisdictions
having responsibility within the district, counties, cities and towns. (Kent, Covington, Renton,
Auburn, Black Diamond, Maple Valley, SeaTac, and Unincorporated King County)
Though the current enrollment projections increase for both elementary and secondary
schools are relatively flat, the ongoing need to provide permanent instructional facilities to
house students is a driving need as the shifts in our family populations continue, due to
ongoing development. Previously collected Impact fees may be used to support and address
the challenges related to the number of interim instructional facilities currently in use, the
replacement of some of these aged facilities, the maintenance of the district's level of services,
and the potential expansions to existing facilities in future years.
The Kent School District 2022-2023 CFP update includes continued execution of the 2016 Capital
Bond Projects, the 2018 Levy Projects, and the data collection and review of our Facility Assessment
Reports. The District Facilities and Capital Planning Teams have come together and joined the Capital

AGENDA ITEM # 8. b)
Bond Planning Task Force (CBPTF) which included District personnel, design professionals, teaching
staff, student voices, as well as community members who collaborated and discussed district needs.
Our initial plan revealed priorities including school replacement due to age, and the need for added
permanent facilities to (1) reduce and eliminate our need for portables and (2) accommodate future
growth as housing in the Kent region continues to expa nd. We started with a list of 2 billion in needs
and through itemizing and prioritizing, we brought the list of essential projects to 495 million. This
list was brought before the District’s Board of Directors for comments, discussion, and approval. A
Capital Bond Measure followed and went out to vote in April 2023 and did not pass with voter
approval. We are now re-evaluating needs and figuring out next steps. Future updates to this Capital
Facilities Plan will include details of any adopted planning . With the opening of Canyon Ridge Middle
School, our sixth grade moving from elementary to middle school, and our boundary change, we are
advancing opportunities to even out capacity at each site to accommodate our programs and
student-based needs.
For the Six-Year Finance Plan, costs of future schools are based on estimates from Kent School
District Capital Planning Team. Please see pages 13-14 for a summary of the cost basis.
Cost Basis Summary
For impact fee calculations, construction estimated costs are based on the last elementary
school built in Kent, adjusted for inflation, and projected cost future elementary school, as
well as average pricing of nearby school districts recently built new middle and new high
school projects.
Project
Projected Cost
New Elementary School
$68,000,000
New Middle School
$155,000,000
New High School
$220,000,000
Site Acquisition Cost
The site acquisition cost is based on an average cost of sites purchased or built on within the
last ten years. Please see Table 7 for a list of site acquisition costs and averages.
District Adjustment
The impact fee calculations on Appendix B & C result in a zero-dollar impact fee total for this
year but may be adjusted if needed per RCW 36.70A.130(2)(b) provision.

IX - Summary of Changes to June 2022 Capital Facilities Plan
The Capital Facilities Plan (the "Plan") is updated annually based on previous Plans in effect
since 1993. The primary changes from the June 2022 Plan are summarized here.
Capacity changes continue to reflect fluctuations in class size ratio and program changes.
Changes in portables or transitional capacity reflect use, lease or purchase, sale, surplus and/or
movement between facilities.
The District will be moving to a K-5 Elementary and 6-8 Middle School model beginning the
2023-2024 school year. Capacity has been added at the middle school level by reopening the
former Sequoia Junior High (now Canyon Ride Middle School).
The district worked with Educational Data Solutions, LLC to update student generation factors.
The updated rates are included in the body of the Plan.
The student headcount enrollment forecast is updated annually. All Elementary schools now
have Full Day Kindergarten so six-year Kindergarten projections were previously modified to
meet the requirements for Full Day Kindergarten programs at all elementary schools.
The district expects to receive some State Funding Assistance (formerly called “state matching
funds”) for projects in this Plan and tax credit factors are updated annually. Unfunded site and
facility need will be reviewed in the future.
The impact fees for 2024 calendar year will result in no collection of impact fees for both
Single-Family and Multi-Family due to the capacity study completed in Spring 2023.

I. INTRODUCTION
Purpose of the Capital Facilities Plan:
This Six-Year Capital Facilities Plan (the “Plan”) annual update was prepared by Renton School
District (the “District”) in compliance with the requirements of the Washington State Growth
Management Act (GMA, the Act), King County Code Title 21A.43, and applicable ordinances of
the cities of Bellevue, Newcastle, and Renton. It is the district’s intent that the Plan be adopted
by King County and the cities of Bellevue, Newcastle, and Renton as a sub-element of their
respective Capital Facilities Plans, and that that those jurisdictions assess and collect school
impact fees on behalf of the district, as empowered by the GMA. This Plan, however, is not
intended to be the sole planning instrument developed by the district to determine its capital
facility needs.
The GMA was adopted by the State legislature in 1990 in response to rapidly increasing
development, most notably in King County and the surrounding central Puget Sound area. The
Act requires state and local governments to manage Washington’s growth by developing and
implementing comprehensive land-use and transportation plans, by designating Urban Growth
Areas, and by protecting natural resources and environmentally critical areas.
The Capital Facilities Plan is one element of a County or City’s Comprehensive Plan that
addresses existing public facility capacities, forecasts future public facility needs, presents a plan
for expanding existing facilities or constructing new facilities to meet those needs, and indicates
how those public facility improvements are to be financed. The GMA empowers jurisdictions to
assess and collect impact fees as one means of financing new public facilities necessitated by
private development.
This Capital Facilities Plan addresses the impact of growth on public school facilities by
examining:
1. anticipated growth of the district’s student population over the next six years.
2. the ability of existing and proposed classroom facilities to house those students based on
the district’s current Standard of Service.
3. the need for additional enrollment or growth driven capital facilities.
4. the method of financing those capital improvements; and
5. calculation of school impact fees based on, among other variables, the number of students
generated by recent residential development (student generation factors).

This plan is updated annually and submitted to local governments for inclusion as a sub-element
in their Capital Facilities Plans. Past Plans have been adopted by King County and the Cities of
Bellevue, Newcastle, and Renton. The district continues to dialogue with the cities of Tukwila
and SeaTac regarding implementation of impact fees within their jurisdictions. The new impact
fees calculated and associated with this 2023 CFP, are effective Jan 2024. They are further
defined in section VII and in the appendices.
Overview of the Renton School District:
The district is located on the south end of Lake Washington, eleven miles south of Seattle to the
west and south of Bellevue to the east. Home to nearly 100,000 people who value working,
living, and playing in the Pacific Northwest, Renton has a strong economic base and a favorable
business climate. The district spans approximately thirty-two square miles and serves a diverse
population of approximately 15,000 students in pre-K through 12th grade at 4 high schools, four
middle schools, fifteen elementary schools, and an early childhood learning center.
District programs also address the special needs of disabled, academically gifted, and artistically
talented students. Four schools (Renton Park Elementary, Hazelwood Elementary, McKnight
Middle, and Lindbergh High) are U.S. Department of Education-recognized Blue-Ribbon
Schools of Excellence. Community support for Renton schools is strong. School levies, which
make up 25% of the district's budget, have been consistently approved by the community for
more than 20 years. Voter-approved bond measures or capital facilities levies from 1992 through
2022 have brought exciting improvements in school buildings and support facilities, including
the rebuilding of all elementary schools, the remodeling of all middle and high schools, and the
recent additional construction of a new elementary school (Sartori) and middle school (Risdon).
Voter support has also provided state-of-the-art technology - a must to prepare students for living
and working in this leading high-tech region. Every classroom has high-speed Internet
connections and ample computer devices for all students.
Creating life-long learners is at the heart of Renton School District's instructional goals. Students
are encouraged to reach for excellence through a variety of programs that focus on basic
academic skills, problem solving, creative and critical thinking, and social and emotional growth.
Each year, Renton School District students qualify as National Merit Finalists while the total
value of college scholarships earned is in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Elementary level
students are well-grounded in science through participation in the Hands-on Science
Kit Program, lauded by the National Science Teachers' Association. At the high school level, the
district's challenging chemistry program, which provides options for advanced placement college

credit, has been recognized by the National Science Association, as well as the National Science
Foundation. The focus in math is on intensive instruction in the basic skills, supplemented by
opportunities to apply developing knowledge to real world problems. The K-12 math program
increases student achievement through problem solving, integration of technology, and a
rigorous assessment component. Students from elementary to high school levels regularly excel
in regional and national mathematics contests. Across all levels and subjects, reading with
accuracy and understanding is a primary goal. Elementary students receive a rich exposure to
fine literature. Middle and high school students work extensively on reading in the content areas
and exploring classic and modern literature works. Reading activities are integrated with a
topnotch writing program beginning in kindergarten that provides students with intensive and
focused practice for the proficiency in a wide range of language arts skills from creative to
business and technical writing.
A variety of classes, clubs, and programs give students opportunities to expand their educational
horizons and pursue special interests. Choices range from instrumental and music, performing
and visual arts, intramurals and athletics, academic-focused and career clubs, and community
service opportunities to leadership development programs, business internships, job shadowing,
and participation in the annual robotics competition. Special needs students with physical,
emotional, and academic disabilities receive individualized attention from skilled teachers.
Special education and remedial support are also available and children who are just learning
English receive intensive, small-group ESL instruction to supplement their regular classroom
learning. Guidance and counseling services are available for primary, middle, and high school
students. Intellectually gifted children have many opportunities for extended learning. Operating
at two magnet elementary schools and the three middle schools, the Discovery Program offers a
challenging curriculum with a special focus on higher level thinking skills. High school students
can take advantage of a full range of honors and advanced placement classes.
Renton School District staff consistently show a commitment to their most important task -
preparing their students for success in work and life. More than 80 percent of certificated staff
have five or more years of higher education, and two of every three teachers have advanced
degrees in their fields. Several of the district's certificated and classified staff have received the
Washington Award for Educational Excellence. Individual teachers have received special honors
such as the Christa McAuliffe Award for Excellence in Education, the Outstanding Secondary
Science Award, the Washington State High School Social Studies Teacher of the Year Award,
and Outstanding College Alumni recognition. Teachers are encouraged to take an active role in
promoting their own professional growth through creating and refining curriculum, sharing
successful strategies, and looking for new ways to assess student progress. This focus on
continuous staff development enables teachers to consistently improve the quality of instruction
and prepares them to help students meet rigorous state academic standards. Hundreds of training
opportunities are offered to teachers and other staff members each year, ranging from CPR and
first aid, technology education, diversity, and crisis intervention to math, science, and reading
instruction strategies, assessment techniques, and arts education.

II. ENROLLMENT TRENDS
Over the past year, District enrollment continued to decline. There were differences across the
region, however. While King County had a net gain of 370 students, public school enrollment in
the four-county region (King, Kitsap, Pierce, and Snohomish) is still more 23,000 students less
than what it was in October 2019. Renton’s decline in enrollment may still be due to the
pandemic, but also the continued lower growth rate of immigrant population. Home based
instruction also increased in Renton and the surrounding areas.
The district will continue to monitor trends, but there are significant conditions that may speak to
the potential for enrollment growth in the future. The number of new housing units expected to
be developed in the district boundary is larger than what has been experienced in the last decade.
Additionally, the most recent economic factors increasing interest rates and inflation appear to be
causing a reduction in housing prices, at least in the immediate term. This could drive an influx
of new home buyers and new construction in the next few years.
Discussion on whether enrollment will return to pre-pandemic levels will continue over the next
couple of years with future CFP’s. The early learning model in most cases had been through
remote delivery methods and returned to partial in-person learning in 2020-2021. The district
returned to in-person learning in the 2021-2022 school year, with families still having an option
for a virtual program – but it was not highly utilized. Still, the District will not fully understand
the ongoing impact of instructional delivery, the current housing market, fuel increases, among
others until further into the next couple of school years.
Approval by the community of a 2019 bond measure allowed the district to construct a new
elementary school (#16) to accommodate over-enrollment in the K-5 grade span and to provide
some elementary capacity relief. Sartori, another new elementary was opened in 2019 as a choice
school in the downtown area. Considering the decline in enrollment and the effect of the
pandemic, the district chose to supplement the 2020 CFP by further evaluating the enrollment
and capacity of the elementary schools located within or near the service areas the new
elementary school #16. The conclusion of that analysis reaffirmed the district need for the new
elementary school. #16. The new elementary school is scheduled to open this fall (2023) and is
discussed later in this Plan.
III. STANDARD OF SERVICE & CAPACITY
The Renton School District Standard of Service is the standard adopted by the district that
identifies the program year, school organizational structure, student/teacher ratios by grade level
(considering the requirements of students with special needs), daily class schedule, types of
facilities and other factors identified by the district to be beneficial in supporting its educational
programs and objectives. The Standard of Service is the major determining factor, together with
the number of classrooms (teaching stations), in calculating facility capacity.

The district has adopted a traditional elementary/middle/high school organizational structure that
houses kindergarten through Grade 5 in elementary schools, Grades 6 through 8 in middle
schools, and Grades 9 through 12 in high schools. The school-year calendar adopted by the
District is also traditional; typically beginning in late August and ending in mid-June. Similarly,
the District maintains a common daily schedule, with classes beginning between 7:20 and 9:30
a.m. and ending between 2:03 and 3:10 p.m., depending on grade level.
The district, and the Renton Education Association, recognize that reasonable class size is
necessary for optimum learning, and have established the following targets in student/teacher
ratios:
Grade Levels K-1 21:1
Grade Level 2 22:1
Grade Level 3 24:1
Grade Levels 4-12 29:1
The 29:1 ratio at the secondary level applies to all Language Arts, Social Studies, Science, Math,
World Languages, World Language Exploratory and Health classes. Other ratios apply as
follows:
Band/Orchestra 40:1
Choir 50:1
Middle School PE 35:1
High School PE 40:1
All other classes 31:1
For the purposes of this report, student /teacher ratio for special education classes held in self-
contained classrooms within comprehensive elementary and secondary facilities is assumed to be
12:1. Educational facilities dedicated solely to special education or other specialized programs
are excluded from capacity calculations, as are associated student headcounts.
In response to new State and District high school graduation requirements, beginning with the
2018-2019 school year, all District high schools changed from a semester system to a trimester
system, resulting in the following:
• Three 12-week terms instead of two 18-week terms,
• Five 72-minute periods per day instead of six 57-minute periods, and
• Reduction of classroom efficiency from 83% to 80%, reducing facility capacity.
Beginning with the graduating class of 2020-2021, high school graduation requirements require
one additional credit of science (three instead of two), and a total of twenty-four credits; three
more than the previously required 21. This has impacted high school capacity, especially

regarding science classrooms, where additional classroom space suitable for the various sciences,
or the renovation/upgrade of existing classrooms to accommodate the same, will be necessary.
The construction of new science classroom addition at Lindbergh High is one such project
included in last year’s update. It is not included in the he calculation of this year’s impact fees or
previous year’s impact fees.
Student/teacher ratios, referenced earlier, are applicable to both permanent and relocatable
classrooms. However, since relocatable facilities do not allow for the full range of educational
activities promoted by the district, they are generally viewed as temporary or interim housing,
necessary to accommodate enrollment fluctuations and development driven enrollment increases,
but only until such time as permanent facilities can be financed and constructed. For those
reasons, relocatable classrooms capacities are calculated, but not used in the analysis of future
facility needs.
Practical Capacity Model:
The Practical Capacity Model calculates building capacity based on limitations that existing
facilities place on enrollment as a result of current educational program needs, operating policy,
and contractual restrictions. This is sometimes also referred to School Program Capacity.
The calculation is made by reviewing the use of each classroom/teaching station in each facility.
For every room housing student, a calculation is made, assigning a maximum number of students
per room. Sometimes the capacity of core facilities, such as the cafeteria or gym, or the quantity
of restroom fixtures, may limit facility capacity to a level below that calculated by collective
classroom capacity levels. This has generally been reviewed at each school level, giving each
school leadership team the ability to utilize classrooms in the most efficient manner possible,
considering their current enrollment. In future CFP’s, we may begin to evaluate and report
program capacity more specifically and show the impact on overall capacity. For example, if the
school enrollment has a higher number of special ed students in a given year, then there is
potential for another full classroom/teaching station to be taken out of capacity inventory,
thereby reducing the overall school capacity for that given year. Given that we will be entering
into a year with boundary adjustments to accommodate the opening of the new elementary
school (Hilltop Heritage ES), the 2024 CFP will be a more appropriate year to provide further
analysis of enrollment at each school, overall capacity, and program (practical) capacity.
Capacity at the secondary school level is further limited by class scheduling restrictions and
student distribution among elective classes. Based on a typical middle school six-period day,
where one period is designated for teacher planning, capacity is reduced by one-sixth, or 17
percent, of theoretical capacity. Similarly, at high schools, with the newly established five-period
day, capacity is reduced by one-fifth, or 20 percent. Elective classes, many of which require
specialized classrooms, also figure into the equation for determining a school’s capacity, which
together with required classes, require a well thought out Master Schedule if the facility’s
capacity is to be maximized.

Current Capacity:
Overall building (student) capacity of existing, permanent K-12 facilities, excluding special
education facilities and facilities housing alternative learning environments, is 14,788. As
mentioned above, the district will begin to look at each school over the next year to better
analyze program capacity at each school. When faced with a boundary adjustment this year with
the opening of the new elementary school, we learned that the school-student capacity numbers
were not completely telling of actual school capacity, when considering each school’s population
needs.
Based on prior enrollment the district has shown a capacity deficit in the 6-8 grade span in the
out years; as well as continued, yet smaller deficit in the K-5 grade span. That deficit has
transitioned to a surplus with enrollment decline but will also show more of a surplus when the
new elementary school opens this. The opening of the new school this fall is allowing for relief
at some of the over-crowded schools, but also allowing the district to intentionally have a lower
enrollment at a couple of schools where some building improvements are needed before large
new developments finish construction and begin to generate students in the area. We continue to
note also that that current and future capacity at the elementary level, as documented in this
report, is based on the district’s current Standard of Service, and does not necessarily reflect
aspirational K-3 student/teacher ratios of seventeen students to one teacher. The district
continues to make progress towards these requirements, by utilizing available classroom space,
added staffing and plans to utilize the new elementary school classrooms to work towards this
ratio. Most recent ratios have been anywhere from 17.3 to 19:1 but staffing during covid has
slowed the districts progress. Continued efforts will be made with opening of the new elementary
school providing more classroom space to progress towards the K-3 standard of 17:1.
Elementary school capacity has been the district’s greatest challenge. Relying heavily on the use
of relocatable classrooms (portables) to accommodate the fluctuating student population,
portables at elementary schools account for over 15% of the district’s total
K – 5 facility capacity. Portables are not considered permanent structures and are therefore not
included in the inventory of permanent facilities. They are viewed as a short-term solution for
managing enrollment fluctuation, housing students on a temporary or interim basis until
permanent facilities can be constructed.
Renton School District’s capital facilities include both permanent structures and relocatable
(interim or portable) classrooms. Permanent facilities are further categorized as either K-12
(traditional elementary, middle, and high school configurations), Special Instructional Use, or
Non-instructional Support Facilities.
The district’s permanent K-12 facilities include 15 (soon to be 16) elementary schools, four
middle schools, and four high schools. Two Special Instructional Use facilities house the
district’s early childhood, special education, and alternative learning programs. Support facilities
include the Kohlwes Education Center (admin.), Transportation Center, Facilities Operations and
Maintenance Center, Nutrition Services/Warehouse, Renton Memorial Stadium, and the
Lindbergh Swimming Pool. Total permanent facilities encompass 2,595,263 square feet, with
2,417,847 square feet (93%) devoted to K-12 and instructional special use. See Appendix A for
District Maps.

The district’s relocatable K-12 facilities are used primarily to address enrollment fluctuations and
to house students on an interim or temporary basis until permanent facilities can be constructed.
For those reasons they are not considered a long-term solution for housing students and are not
acknowledged in the calculation of the capacity of K-12 facilities. Of the fifty-five relocatable
facilities in the district’s inventory, forty-four are “double portables” containing two classrooms,
and eleven are singles. Combined, they provide the district with a total of ninety-nine relocatable
classrooms, encompassing 88,704 square feet of additional space available for instruction.
The tables below summarize existing K-12 facility capacity. A complete inventory of District
facilities, including undeveloped property follows. Facility capacity worksheets may be found in

IV. ENROLLMENT PROJECTIONS
Projection Methodology:
Numerous methodologies are available for projecting long-term enrollments. The most common
method is known as cohort survival which tracks groups of students through the system and
adjusts the populations to account for the average year-to- year growth. For example, this year’s
fourth grade is adjusted based on the average enrollment trend of the past in order to estimate
next year’s fifth grade enrollment. This calculation method considers the past five years’ trends
to determine the average adjustment factor for each grade, or cohort. The method works well for
all grades except kindergarten, where there is no previous year data. For kindergarten, two
methodologies are generally used: A linear extrapolation from the previous five years of
kindergarten enrollment, assuming that there is a trend; or, alternatively, a comparison of the
kindergarten enrollment to births from five years prior can be used to calculate a “birth-to-k”
ratio. For example, kindergarten enrollment in 2019 is divided by the total births in King County
in 2014 to produce a birth-to-k ratio. The average ratio for the last five years can then be applied
to births in subsequent years to estimate kindergarten enrollment.
The cohort survival method has been used by OSPI to predict enrollment for all Districts in the
state. In past years, OSPI has used a 6-year cohort average for grades 1-12 and a linear
extrapolation method at kindergarten. In 2008, OSPI commissioned a study to evaluate the
effectiveness of this method for predicting enrollment. The report recommended the use of the
“birth-to-k” method for predicting kindergarten enrollment and the use of a housing adjustment
factor for Districts that are likely to be impacted by large numbers of new housing developments.
The cohort survival method generally works well for Districts that have a consistent trend of
gradual increases or declines in enrollment. It is less reliable in Districts where spikes in
demographic trends (especially a marked increase or decrease in new housing) can lead to
dramatic swings in enrollment from one year to the next. In addition, the use of the linear
extrapolation method at the kindergarten level can result in a distorted trend since it does not
consider changes in birth rate trends. Combining cohort survival with other information about
births, housing, regional population trends, and even trends in service area and private school
enrollment can sometimes provide for a more accurate forecast. For this Plan, the average rollup

at existing grades was combined with estimates of growth that might be expected from new
housing, and assumptions about market share gains or losses that the district is likely to see at
certain grade levels. Estimates of housing growth for this model were obtained from building
permit information provided by the respective jurisdictions. However, there are many unknowns
due to the overall market pause in real estate, rising gas prices, inflation, and some still consider
the pandemic to be of concern. The districts response to this was to consider three projections: a
low, medium, and high. Due to inflation and rising interest rates, real estate prices are leveling
off and decreasing in some neighborhoods. Considering the relative prices seen in Renton as
compared to outlying and more expensive suburban area, this could drive a higher-than-expected
growth rate. Because the District needs to be as prepared as possible for a higher growth rate, we
are monitoring all three scenarios. There is more potential for growth in the K-5 and high school
grade span in the outyears and some decline is anticipated in the 6-8 grade span.
Projections and Future Capacity:
Enrollment projections provided by Educational Data Solutions, LLC indicate continued decline
in the elementary grade span over the next couple of years, with a minor decrease in middle
school and high school enrollment at varied years, but overall, a relatively flat rate in the big
picture. Using the high-level growth chart, overall enrollment in the out-years is projected to
grow by about six hundred students spread over all three grades spans, but still does not project
we are back to pre-pandemic enrollment levels until after October 2028. The district will
continue to monitor development, move-in/move-outs, and trends within the four-county area to
better predict enrollment more than two years out.
As the District moves past the pandemic and related impacts, there is potential for development
growth in the real estate market and for a resurgence of immigrant population with recent
political administration changes at the national level. The local jurisdiction is still planning on
over 5,000 new residential units in various areas over the next 2-10 years. It is the district’s
responsibility to monitor these projects, the timing and how the district will be able to respond
with appropriate capacity to accommodate instructional delivery.
The number of new homes planned for future construction in the District is much higher than the
number of permitted units that were built between 2017 and 2021.This may suggest than
enrollment losses could be lower in the near terms but could see net gains in the out-years due to
growth from new housing. (see past and future housing development in the appendices)
Projections show a slight increase in middle school enrollment over the next six years if
considering the high growth projections. There are currently no plans to increase middle school
capacity, as even with a slight growth, enrollment would still not be back to pre-pandemic levels.
Using the same high projection at the high school level, projected enrollment over the next six
years will add an additional 185 students. If these projections hold in the near term, this growth
could coincide with district plans to replace Renton High School. As part of the voter approved
November 2022 bond, funds are provided for both land acquisition and construction of a new
Renton High School. The 2024 CFP will address this more completely as the district determines
location and construction period. Medium range and high range projections are provided in the
appendices.

V. ENROLLMENT DRIVEN FACILITY NEEDS
With the opening of the new Sartori Elementary School in August 2018, the 2017 elementary
deficit capacity of 1,244 was dramatically reduced by nearly 40% to 755. With the passage of the
2019 Bond Measure, approved by the voters in November 2019, the District is will be opening
its sixteenth elementary school, located in the Hazen High School service area, where the district
has experienced the most recent growth in the past decade plus. The new school is scheduled to
be completed and opened for the 2023/2024 school year. This new school has been named
Hilltop Heritage Elementary School. Enrollment declines since fall 2020 show a loss of students
from 7,057 students to 6,732 students in fall 2022. While this helps to balance out enrollment vs.
capacity in this current school year, we will see an increase in capacity this fall with the new
school opening. However, projections do show growth in this grade span by another 413 students
in the out years.
At the middle school level, decreased enrollment combined with lower projections show that the
district will continue to have a small surplus in the next year. We will continue to monitor, but
there are currently no enrollment or growth driven capital facilities projects in the planning
stages for middle schools. However, there is discussion for future bond planning, the need to
replace both Nelson Middle School and Dimmitt Middle School. Those projects would be
reviewed in future bond planning discussions and enrollment growth and projections would be
considered at that time.
As previously mentioned, the 2022 voter-approved bond allows the district to acquire property
and plan for the replacement of Renton High School. This will be both an opportunity to add
program capacity to address anticipated and projected growth in the out years, but to also ensure
program equity across the high school grade space. The district desires to ensure educational
space and opportunity is provided and comparable to what is offered at both Hazen and Lindberg
High Schools.

In addition to any discussion around projected permanent facility deficits at the elementary and
high school levels, it should be noted that the District is also reaching its maximum limit in
providing portable classrooms at its existing sites due to current land use and building code
requirements. Although not included in the calculation of potential Impact Fees, the
implementation of new relocatable classrooms and/or the relocation of existing ones, remains a
viable method of addressing both growth and the shifting of student population, for the short
term.
Similarly, science classroom additions proposed for Lindbergh High School, as well as other
potential high school renovations, additions, or relocations responding to enrollment growth
and/or changes in capacity methodology, are not included in the calculation of these fees. Those
current projects are more related to program needs and existing enrollment. We have not
considered these projects to be added capacity at the high school grade span.
The next table compares the current permanent capacity of Renton School District facilities to
current and projected enrollment for the next six years. As noted earlier, the district will take a
closer look at overall permanent capacity compared to practical or program capacity this next
year and will report those findings in the 2024 CFP.

Capital Construction Plan:
For the last six-year period, the district’s highest priorities have been to address existing and
projected facility capacity deficits, aging infrastructure at secondary schools, and responding
to/planning for both growth and program related added capacity. These projects funded by the
2019 bond and impact fees, are projects responding to growth. This has included:
• Completion of Hilltop Heritage Elementary school - most of the growth has occurred and
relief is needed at some schools in the Hazen High School service area – in the
elementary grade-span.
• High school additions and/or renovations to create additional science
classroom/laboratory space to address changes in State graduation requirements
• Planning for replacement of Renton High School, Dimmitt Middle School and/or Nelson
Middle School – all aging facilities and potentially impacted by growth
• Acquisition of land for future development
• Addition and or relocation of relocatable classrooms (interim classroom space known as
portables)
During the next six years, the district’s voter approved bond on the Nov. 8, 2022, election ballot
will allow the district to stay on track to make major renovations, replacements, and upgrades to
keep our schools in top operating condition, while protecting taxpayer investments in our
buildings and helping maintain high property values. Currently, these are not growth generated
projects. These include:
Safety & Security
• Interior door hardware/lock updates
• New key system
• Main entry video intercoms
• Entryway improvements to provide front door line-of-sight for office staff
School Improvements
• Update seismic and structural systems in older buildings (retrofitting
and modification of existing structures to make them more resistant to seismic
activity, ground motion, or soil failure)
• Improvements and equipment replacement of school Heating, Ventilation, and Air
Conditioning (HVAC) systems
• Upgrades to electrical, plumbing, and mechanical systems
• Upgrades to boilers and domestic hot water heaters

Purchase Property
• Provide for up to forty acres for a Renton High School replacement
Build New Renton High School – at a location to be determined
• Build a new high school facility for the Renton High School service area, providing
a modern learning environment and equitable athletic opportunities for all students
The District’s intent in structuring its capital improvement program is to maintain a constant
level of construction throughout the program period to optimize the utilization of its management
capabilities. The District utilizes a combination of in-house project management (Capital
Projects Office) and outside management consultants to accomplish this.
VI. SIX-YEAR FINANCE PLAN
Finance Plan:
The primary funding sources for all capital construction projects scheduled over the next six
years include 2019 Bond funds, remaining funds from the 2016 capital levy; and school impact
fees currently collected by King County and the cities of Bellevue, Newcastle, and Renton
throughout 2023, as growth projects that addressed past capacity deficits are completed. Growth
driven projects funded by past collected impact fees and 2019 bond funds are nearing
completion. The district also has funds from a voter approved bond in November 2023 for $676
million. The majority of those funds will be directed towards land acquisition and the
replacement of Renton High School, as previously described.
While there could be placement of temporary facilities or portables due to growth over the next
six years at various locations, depending upon enrollment growth - the district does not yet know
if the replacement of the high school will need to increase capacity due to growth. This project
will not begin for 2-3 years, due to the need for land acquisition. If enrollment and projections
show additional capacity is needed to accommodate growth, we will evaluate the collection of
impact fees at that time.
Enrollment driven projects represent only a portion of the district’s total capital improvement
plan. Estimated expenditures for enrollment driven projects over the duration of this six-year
plan are indicated below.

II. IMPACT FEES
Impact Fees:
Impact fees were calculated in conformance with King County Council Ordinance 11621,
resulting in a decrease in impact fees for single-family of $750.00 per unit – now set at $2161.00,
and an increase in impact fees for multi-family of $560.00 per unit – now set at $4,257.00.
Student generation factors were generally the same this year, with a slight increase in multi-
family – primarily due to the presence of more low-income units and units with multiple
bedrooms. Calculations in 2022 included increased construction costs, and while costs have
continued to increase, the district has not added additional construction costs into the calculation
for 2023. Assessed and taxable values have increased for both single family and multi-family
units, as have bond interest rates. The construction of the new elementary school was front
funded by the district and was constructed to address growth in the district. The district will
continue collection of impact fees to help offset related costs and will be evaluated on an annual
basis moving forward. The 2024-25 CFP will review enrollment, projections, and projected
growth to determine if any growth-related projects are needed to address potential capacity
deficits moving forward in any of the grade spans.
The GMA empowers jurisdictions to assess and collect impact fees as a means of supplementing
the funding of additional public facilities necessitated by enrollment growth from new
development. In the case of public schools, impact fees are assessed only on residential new
development. To determine an equitable school impact fee throughout unincorporated King
County, King County Code 21A was adopted, establishing an impact fee formula that has in turn
been adopted by the cities of Bellevue, Newcastle, and Renton, in their respective enabling
ordinances. The formula requires that school districts establish “Student Generation Factors” that
estimate the number of students generated by each new single or multi-family residential unit
constructed and establish district-specific construction costs that are unique to that district. Refer
to appendices for substantiating documentation on Student Generation Factors.

STUDENT GENERATION RATES (SGR)
The formula for determining school impact fees, as established by King County Council
Ordinance 11621, requires that school districts provide “student factors based on district
records of average actual student generation rates for new developments constructed over a
period of not more than five years prior to the date of the fee calculation.” The Ordinance
also provides that, in the event this information is not available in the District, “data from
adjacent districts, districts with similar demographics, or county-wide averages must be
used.” In years past, the district used average SGR’S from nearby districts. Starting with
the 2021 CFP, the district began using its own SGR derived from residential projects with
the district. The district used those SGR’s again for the 2022 CFP - due to paused
construction and covid impacts on enrollment. Student generation rates have been updated
this year and are included in impact fee calculations. There is not a significant difference is
student generation rates from 2021 generated rates. The multi-family rate is higher at 28
per one hundred vs. 24 per one hundred. This slightly higher rate is likely due to presence
of more low-income units and units with multiple bedrooms.

The student generation rate varies among apartment developments, based on whether the
units are for low-income residents and based on the number of bedrooms in each unit.
These differences can help the district when planning for future growth from housing.

Capital Facilities Plan 4
1.0 Introduction
1.1 PURPOSE
The purpose of this Capital Facilities Plan (CFP) is to identify capital facility needs necessary for
the Renton Regional Fire Authority (RRFA) to achieve and maintain adopted standards for levels
of service concurrent with, or prior to, the impacts of expected development and population
growth over the next six years (2024-2029) and is consistent with the land use and transportation
elements of the City of Renton (City) and King County comprehensive plans. This CFP also
identifies sound fiscal policies and funding resources for implementation.
1.2 CAPITAL PLANNING REQUIREMENTS
The Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA) requires that a county’s or city’s CFP
should consist of: a) an inventory of existing capital facilities owned by public entities; b) a
forecast of the future needs for capital facilities; c) the proposed locations and capacities of
expanded or new capital facilities; d) a six-year plan to finance capital facilities within projected
funding capacities and clearly identified sources of public money for such purposes; and e) a
requirement to reassess the land use element if probable funding falls short of existing needs
(RCW 36.70a.070(3)). The GMA requires that all capital facilities have “probable funding” to pay
for capital facility needs and that jurisdictions have capital facilities in place and readily available
when new development comes in or must be of sufficient capacity when the population grows.
The City prepares a CFP element as part of its comprehensive plan. In accordance with the
Interlocal Agreement (ILA) in place between the City and the RRFA, the City will incorporate the
RRFA’s six-year plan for fire and emergency services facilities into its comprehensive plan CFP.
That allows the City to impose an impact fee. Impact fees may be collected and spent only for
the public facilities addressed by a CFP element of a comprehensive land use plan adopted
pursuant to the GMA (RCW 82.02.050 (4)).
Levels of service (LOS) are established in the CFP and represent quantifiable measures of capacity.
They are minimum standards established by the RRFA to provide capital facilities and services to
the RRFA service area at a certain level of quality and within the financial capacity of the RRFA.
As the population grows, it is expected that demands for fire and emergency response services
will also grow. Additional facilities will be necessary to meet this growing demand for service.
LOS standards are influenced by local citizens, elected, and appointed officials, national and state
standards, mandates, and other considerations, such as available funding.
Growth, LOS standards, and a funded capital improvement program are to be in balance. In the
case where the LOS cannot be met by a service or facility, the jurisdiction could do one of the

AGENDA ITEM # 8. b)
Capital Facilities Plan 5
following: 1) add proposed facilities within funding resources, 2) reduce demand through
demand management strategies, 3) lower LOS standards, 4) phase growth, or 5) change the land
use plan.
1.3 DEFINITION OF CAPITAL FACILITIES
The CFP addresses public facilities necessary for providing fire and emergency response services.
Capital facilities generally have a long useful life and include RRFA-owned and/or -operated
buildings, land, equipment, and apparatus. Capital facilities planning does not cover regular
operation and maintenance, but it does include major repair, rehabilitation, or reconstruction of
facilities. The RRFA considers capital assets to be assets of more than $5,000 in value and an
estimated useful life of more than one year.
1.4 PRINCIPLES GUIDING CAPITAL INVESTMENTS
There are two main guiding elements behind capital facilities planning: RRFA standard operating
procedures (SOP) that define fiscal policies and the GMA. RRFA SOP 2315 “Reserve Funds” and
SOP 2317 “Long-Term Planning” address the RRFA’s policies regarding capital reserves and
investments. The CFP supports RRFA in making strategic capital investments that support this
effort.
RRFA intends to use the CFP as:
a tool for budgeting;
the basis for capital spending, giving a degree of assurance about how public
money will be spent; and
a useful guidance document for leadership and staff.
Toward that end, RRFA has developed and used the following guidelines to evaluate projects
before adding them to the CFP:
Growth-related project costs should be timed to match with available remitted
fire impact fee revenues.
Project costs that are not growth-related should be timed to match with
revenues available through operating transfers.
Projects should be spaced to allow for progress on RRFA’s other financial goals,
especially maintaining its capital and operating reserves.
1.5 RRFA HISTORY AND GOVERNANCE
RRFA is a special purpose district that provides fire and medical emergency response services
within the City and King County Fire District 25 (KCFD25). The RRFA was established on July 1,
2016, after voters residing within KCFD25 and the City approved Proposition 1. This legislation
Back to Top
AGENDA ITEM # 8. b)
Capital Facilities Plan 6
formed the regional fire authority and authorized a fire benefit charge. Prior to the creation of
the RRFA, service in the City was provided by Renton Fire & Emergency Services (RF&ES) and both
KCFD25 and King County Fire District 40 (KCFD40) contracted for services with the City.
Creation of the RRFA consolidated fire protection for the City and KCFD25 under a single special
local government authority. The contract for fire protection with KCFD40 remained in place and
transferred to RRFA and was renewed in 2022 for an additional twenty years. Accordingly,
KCFD40 is treated as part of the RRFA entity for the purposes of this CFP.
1.6 SERVICE AREA
RRFA is located at the south end of Lake Washington, between Seattle and Tacoma. According to
King County GIS data, the RRFA’s total response area is 37 square miles, including the City of
Renton and KCFD25 (27 square miles) and the KCFD40 and Lake Youngs area (10 square miles).
KCFD25 is located in the area east of the City and north of State Route 169 known as the East
Renton Highlands. KCFD40 and Lake Youngs are located in the area east of the City and south of
State Route 169 known as Fairwood. The RRFA service area is bordered by unincorporated areas
of King County, as well as the cities of Kent, Tukwila, and Newcastle, with the City of Seattle just
a few miles northwest. Exhibit 1-1 presents a map of the RRFA service area and station locations.

1.7 CURRENT CONDITIONS AND PROJECTED GROWTH
Renton is the fourth largest city in King County, covering 23.54 square miles and having an
estimated 2022 population of 107,900. The City includes residential neighborhoods, a strong
industrial base, and a growing commercial/office sector. The City’s downtown and northern
manufacturing area were designated as a regional growth center by the Puget Sound Regional
Council (PSRC) in 1995. The northern part of the regional growth center borders Lake Washington
and emphasizes mixed use and regional employment, including the Boeing Company’s Renton
Plant and The Landing, a significant recent retail and residential development. The southern part
of the regional growth center includes the downtown core and adjacent residential area.
Downtown Renton has seen investment in recent years, including the Renton Pavilion Event
Center and Piazza Park, the Renton Transit Center, the IKEA Performing Arts Center, Top Golf, the
Hyatt, and Southport. The City also contains commercial corridors, multi-family nodes, and
extensive single-family neighborhoods. KCFD25 and KCFD40 mostly contain residential areas
located in King County outside of Renton city limits.
Population projections for Renton, KCFD25, and KCFD40 for the years 2023-2029 are presented
in Exhibit 1-2.1 The City is expected to grow by 6,053 residents, 86% of the total population
growth forecasted for the RRFA service area.

3.0 Measuring Future Capital Facility Needs
The GMA was enacted to provide local oversight of community growth with the intent for local
governments such as counties, cities, and towns to monitor and mitigate the impacts of growth.
GMA Goal 1 promotes placing growth in urban areas where there are public facilities and services,
while GMA Goal 12 promotes adequate facilities and services to support development:
(1) Urban growth. Encourage development in urban areas where adequate public facilities and
services exist or can be provided in an efficient manner.
(12) Public facilities and services. Ensure that those public facilities and services necessary to
support development shall be adequate to serve the development at the time the development
is available for occupancy and use without decreasing current service levels below locally
established minimum standards (RCW 36.70A.020(12)).
Concurrency for transportation infrastructure is mandated by the GMA, and local agencies were
given the authority to establish concurrency guidelines for other public needs such as water,
sewer, and fire services:
Purpose.
The purpose of concurrency is to assure that those public facilities and services
necessary to support development are adequate to serve that development at
the time it is available for occupancy and use, without decreasing service levels
below locally established minimum standards.
Concurrency describes the situation in which adequate facilities are available
when the impacts of development occur, or within a specified time thereafter.
Concurrency ensures consistency in land use approval and the development of
adequate public facilities as plans are implemented, and it prevents
development that is inconsistent with the public facilities necessary to support
the development.
With respect to facilities other than transportation facilities, counties and cities
may fashion their own regulatory responses and are not limited to imposing
moratoria on development during periods when concurrency is not maintained
(WAC 365-196-840).
The RRFA CFP identifies the need for $25.5M in capital investments as shown in Exhibits 4-1 and
4-2, to maintain fire service concurrency through the year 2029.
3.1 LEVEL OF SERVICE MEASURES
RRFA measures LOS from three different perspectives. The first concerns the cost of facilities for

AGENDA ITEM # 8. b)
Capital Facilities Plan 15
incident response per unit of development. The second perspective concerns turnout and
response times in accordance with established policy. The third perspective concerns the
Protection Class (PC) rating for each of the areas served (the City of Renton, KCFD25, and
KDFD40). Each of these LOS measures are described below.
3.1.1 Cost of Facilities for Incident Response per Unit of Development
In 2023, RRFA conducted a rate study for fire impact fees. That study presents a methodology for
quantifying the need for fire and EMS stations and apparatus to serve new growth, for the
purpose of collecting fire impact fees. The level of service standard is the 2022 ratio of apparatus
and stations to EMS and fire/other incidents. More specifically, the rate study calculates the
annualized facility value per incident as well as the number of incidents produced by different
kinds of development. This determines the total cost of facilities for incident response needed
per unit of development. This standard is used to measure the systemwide capacity of facilities
to support incident response throughout the RRFA service area.
Full documentation of the methodology is available in the rate study. A brief summary follows.
For apparatus, including engines and other response vehicles, the ratio of apparatus to incidents
as of 2022 was selected as an acceptable LOS standard. As growth occurs, more incidents will
occur, and therefore more apparatus will be needed to maintain this standard. It is anticipated
that much of the growth in the RRFA service area will come in the form of infill development and
increased density within the City. As the growth occurs, the RRFA intends to add additional
apparatus units to address the anticipated increase in multi-story housing (ladder) and
emergency medical calls for service (aid unit).
For fire stations, the rate study measures LOS using the ratio of station square footage to
incidents. However, a deduction to the station square footage is made to account for unused
beds that could accommodate additional fire and emergency response staff. As stated above, it
is anticipated that much of the growth in the RRFA service area will come in the form of infill
development and increased density within the City. As this growth occurs, the RRFA intends to
utilize excess bed capacity in current stations to increase its capacity for emergency response at
existing stations.
On the next page, Exhibit 3-1 shows the cost of response per unit of development (dwelling unit,
square foot, room, or student), by land use category, as calculated in the 2023 RRFA Rate Study
for Fire Impact Fees. These represent the total amount of facility investment the RRFA would
need to make to maintain the current level of service as growth occurs within the service area,
but not the actual fire impact fee to be charged.

3.1.2 Turnout and Response Time Standards
Traffic and geographic barriers currently present challenges to providing adequate response time
in some areas. For this reason, RRFA also has turnout and response time standards for measuring
performance across the entire service area and by individual station.
Turnout and response time standards are documented in SOP 4101 “Response Guidelines”. First,
this policy addresses turnout times, or the interval that begins when audible or visual notification
is received by firefighters from the 911 center and ends at the beginning point of travel time. SOP
4101 states: “Turnout time for emergent responses shall be expedient and no longer than one
hundred twenty seconds.” Second, this policy addresses response times, or the interval that
begins with notification and ends with the time the unit arrives on scene. SOP 4101 states: “The
organization aspires in a non-disaster situation, under current conditions of funding, staffing, and
equipment, to respond to 90% of the emergency service calls within 7 minutes and 30 seconds
from the time of dispatch.”
These standards are summarized in Exhibit 3-2.

Service Standard Response Time Meet Response Time Goal
Turnout time for emergency response 120 seconds 100%
First unit arrival 7 minutes and 30 seconds
from the time of dispatch 90%
Measuring response time helps RRFA to identify where additional capacity may be necessary. It
also helps to identify where current conditions such as station design, local traffic, land use, or
geographic barriers are presenting challenges to responding to incidents in a timely manner. For
example, Fire Stations 13 and 16 are multi-story buildings that require response crews to travel
from a second story to the main story in order to respond, thus increasing their turnout time
compared to a single-story station. Similarly, the increased density of multi-family housing and
commercial development outside of the Fire Station 11 response area reduces the probability of
meeting the response standard and impacts response time level of service for that property type.
The response time level of service standards for 2022 are displayed in Exhibit 3-3 and 3-4.

3.1.3 Washington Surveying Rating Bureau Protection Class
A Washington Surveying Rating Bureau (WSRB) protection class (PC) is a score from 1 to 10 that
represents the community-provided fire protection capabilities available at a specific property.
A PC of 1 indicates exemplary fire protection capabilities are available; a PC of 10 indicates the
fire protection capabilities, if any, are not sufficient to receive credit for insurance. Each
community in Washington state has a PC, which is used as a starting point to determine the PC
of individual properties.
In 2018, the City’s PC was upgraded from a Class 3 to a Class 2.6 This put the RRFA’s fire protection
of the City in the top 5% in the country and top 1% in the state. In July of 2022, the City of Seattle
became the first and only fire department in the state to achieve a Class 1 PC.
Exhibit 3-5. City of Renton 2018 PC Rating
The improvements made to fire and life safety throughout Renton over the past several years
have led to this outstanding upgrade in PC for the Renton community. Because a community’s
PC is one of the key factors in insurance premium determination, not only does this upgrade
represent exceptional fire and life safety protection, but Renton property owners also have an
even greater opportunity to realize insurance premium savings. KCFD25 and KCFD40 both
maintain a PC of Class 3.
A community's PC rating is evaluated using the following criteria:
Fire department (40%), including distribution of stations, staffing levels,
equipment, and personnel training.
Water supply (35%), including water flow capacity, fire hydrant location, and
maintenance.
Emergency communications system (9%), including dispatching system,
staffing, and training.
Fire safety control (16%), including fire code and building code enforcement,
fire investigations, and public fire education programs.
6 Source: Country Wide PC Ratings were obtained in 2019 from www.isomitigation.com/ppc/program-works/facts-and-figures-about-ppc-codes-
around-the-country/. State Wide PC Ratings were published in the WSRB Protection Class Report for Renton, dated October 5, 2018.
Back to Top
AGENDA ITEM # 8. b)
Capital Facilities Plan 19
Because the PC criteria that most affect the overall rating are the fire operations and deployment
of resources for fire protection, the RRFA must maintain the fire protection apparatus, staffing,
and deployment that supports its current PC rating as growth occurs. For example, WSRB
requires a ladder to be positioned within 2.5 road miles of a given structure. The RRFA maintains
a single ladder located at Fire Station 11 in downtown Renton. Exhibit 3-6 shows the 2.5 road
mile radius of Fire Station 11 in comparison to the projected new development within the City.
A second ladder is required to address the growth in these areas.

RRFA intends to relocate Fire Station 16 and build a new maintenance repair facility within the
City borders to address the anticipated growth in the area. The percent attributed to City growth
is 18%. Construction costs have not yet been developed; however, TCA has provided an estimate
of $20M for the project. The RRFA currently has no debt but does intend to issue Limited Tax
General Obligation (LTGO) bonds in late 2023 and early 2024 for the financing of the new Fire
Station 16 and maintenance facility in the amount of approximately $20M. The debt service in
Exhibit 4-2 represents anticipated bond payments for the years 2024-2029. See Appendix A for
an estimated amortization table.

4.2.2 New Facility Needs
RRFA has identified the need to replace Fire Station 16 in the East Plateau neighborhood on the
northeast side of Renton. The existing facility was built in 1974 and is approaching 50 years old
and does not accommodate the modern needs of the fire service. Building a new station will
increase capacity to serve expected growth in this area of Renton for the next 50 years. In
addition, the RRFA intends to build a new maintenance facility to provide the space necessary to
conduct apparatus service and repair as we continue to expand our fleet. RRFA’s assessment of
facility needs to meet our current level of service standards has determined that 82% of this new
station and maintenance facility will address existing deficiencies while 18% will expand capacity
to serve future growth. Construction of the new Fire Station 16 is anticipated to begin in 2024.
The total estimated cost of this station and additional apparatus repair facility, including land
acquisition, is $20,000,000.
Exhibit 4-3. Fire Station 16
4.2.3 Capital Projects Associated with Station Operational Needs
The RRFA anticipates several improvement projects at existing fire stations necessary to address
operational needs and maintain concurrency of fire services through 2029. These improvements
include major repair and rehabilitation and do not including regular operations and maintenance.
They are summarized in Exhibit 4-2 above and detailed in Appendix B.
4.3 PROPOSED LOCATIONS AND CAPACITIES OF EXPANDED OR NEW
CAPITAL FACILITIES
4.3.1 Apparatus
The RRFA has identified the need to add one aid unit and one ladder to serve the new growth
within the City. Appendix C highlights the areas covered by the addition of an aid unit at Fire
Station 11, much of which includes new development parcels. Appendix D highlights the areas

covered by adding an additional ladder and locating one ladder at Fire Station 12 and one at Fire
Station 13.
4.3.2 Station
The new Fire Station 16 and maintenance facility will be located at 15815 SE 128th St in Renton.
The existing Fire Station 16 is 7,732 square feet (SF) and is situated on a 58,806 SF parcel of land.
Due to the limited size of the current lot, the maximum building area allowed is 12,800 SF which
will not accommodate a station intended to serve growth over the next 50 years, the average
longevity of a fire station. In addition, the current maintenance facility located at Fire Station 13
is at maximum capacity and cannot accommodate servicing any additions to the RRFA fleet. An
additional maintenance facility is needed. The new Fire Station 16 will be located on a 150,200
SF parcel of land and that will allow up to 25,100 SF of building space. A single-story station of
approximately 15,150 will accommodate eight beds and three bays and a five-bay maintenance
facility are planned for the new parcel. See Appendix E for a preliminary layout of the parcel.

5.0 Capital Facilities Revenue Analysis
5.1 OVERVIEW
This CFP revenue analysis supports the financing for providing facilities and services, as required
by RCW 36.70A.070(3)(d). Revenue estimates, using assumptions based on historical trends, are
used to represent realistic expectations for revenue that may be available for capital funding.
This revenue analysis provides an approximate, and not exact, projection of future revenue
sources. The numbers projected in this analysis are for planning purposes and cannot account for
sensitivities such as local, state, and federal policy, economic trends, and other factors. This
analysis may not align with RRFA’s annual budget because it is based on multi-year projections of
revenue, while the annual budget presents precise estimates of available revenue for spending
in a specific fiscal year.
5.2 FUNDING THE CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
Estimated future revenues are projected for the years 2024-2029. The revenue analysis is
categorized according to:
Dedicated Capital Revenues. Dedicated revenues are required to be used for
certain types of capital spending, outlined by the law. The dedicated capital
revenues for RRFA include fire impact fees remitted to RRFA by the City.
Operating Transfers. Operating transfers-in are those revenue sources that are
transferred in from the operating fund. Although these are not dedicated
sources to be relied on for capital funding, the RRFA endeavors to make regular
operating transfers-in to its reserves on a level basis each year. These transfers
are not specifically dedicated to capital spending and could be used elsewhere.
LTGO Bonds. Financing bonds that do not require voter approval or include the
levying of an additional tax to repay them.
Other Funding Sources. The RRFA continuously explores external sources
available to fund capital projects such as grant opportunities.
5.3 ASSUMPTIONS
The RRFA revenue analysis is based on the following assumptions:
Analysis Boundary. The analysis includes the current RRFA boundary as shown
in Exhibit 1-1.
Growth. Growth targets were provided by the City staff and reflect projections
as of August 2023.
Property Tax. This analysis assumes that the property tax levy rate will reset to
Back to Top
AGENDA ITEM # 8. b)
Capital Facilities Plan 27
$1 per thousand in 2024 with the successful passing of Proposition 1 in August
of 2023. Property tax revenues will increase at an annual rate of 1% going
forward, with the assessed value and new construction growing according to
the July 2023 King County Economic and Revenue Forecast – Office of Economic
and Financial Analysis.
Fire Benefit Charge. In 2021, the voters approved a ten-year renewal of the fire
benefit charge with a vote of nearly 82% in favor of the proposition. By law, the
fire benefit charge may be used for up to 60% of the RRFA operating budget. In
2023, the fire benefit makes up approximately 35% of the RRFA’s total budget.
With the passing of Proposition 1 (see above), the RRFA intends to lower the
fire benefit charge by as much as 50% and is estimating that the benefit charge
will account for approximately 17% of the 2024 operating budget.
Fire Impact Fees. This analysis assumes the City will adopt the 2024 fire impact
fees proposed by the RRFA and will remit fees collected to the RRFA as outlined
in the interlocal agreement between the City and the RRFA. Projected
residential and commercial impact fee revenues are based on residential and
nonresidential growth projections provided by City staff.
Fire District 40 Service Contract. RRFA and KCFD40 entered into a twenty-year
agreement in 2022 and maintains a collaborative relationship with the
governance board for the district. This analysis assumes that from 2024 forward,
the service contract grows annually at a rate relative to the costs of operating
the RRFA.
EMS Levy. This analysis assumes revenues from the EMS levy continue to
increase at an annual growth rate of 3%.
Permits and Fees. This analysis assumes revenues from miscellaneous permits
and fees will remain at now current rates.
EMS Services. This analysis assumes revenues from EMS services will increase
at a rate of 5% per year and Ground Emergency Medical Transport (GEMT)
revenues will remain level. GEMT funding is at the discretion of the federal
government and the program could be modified or cancelled at any time.
5.4 FIRE IMPACT FEES
The City has collected fire impact fees since 2011. In 2023, the debt service on Fire Station 13
was paid in full and the City now remits fire impact fees to the RRFA on a monthly basis. Impact
fees collected through 2023 will be used for capital facility needs identified in the 2017 RRFA CFP.
Fees collected beginning in 2024 will be used for capital facility needs identified in this CFP. The
RRFA projects fire impact fees of $5,074,209 for the years 2024 through 2029. Exhibit 5-1
compares the projected fire impact fee revenue to the projected growth-related project costs, as
presented in Exhibit 4-1 and Exhibit 4-2.

MEMORANDUM
Date: September 23, 2022 TG:1.22123.00
To: Paul Hintz, City of Renton
From: Jon Pascal, PE, Transpo Group
Brent Turley, PE, Transpo Group
cc: Brianne Bannwarth, PE, City of Renton
Subject: Transportation Impact Fee Update - Industrial Land Uses
The purpose of this memorandum is to document proposed updates to the City of Renton
Transportation Impact Fee (TIF) methodology. The updates serve to assist the City in considering
appropriate changes to the TIF methodology to better reflect the impacts of industrial land uses on
the transportation system. The information presented will allow the City to utilize an updated TIF
rate schedule based on the estimated truck activity for specific industrial land uses.
Overview of the Existing TIF Methodology
The methodology for the Renton TIF is documented in Council Resolution 4299 in the Rate Study
for Impact Fees for Transportation (Henderson, Young, & Company, July 5, 2016). The overall
methodology remains unchanged from this document except for the additional adjustments to the
rate schedule for industrial land uses.
As explained in the 2016 Rate Study for Impact Fees for Transportation, the transportation impact
fees are calculated by the estimated number of new person trip ends that are created by the
proposed land use. Person trip ends are used instead of vehicle trip ends because it better aligns
with the mitigation fees that are for bicycle and pedestrian facilities that also use person trips. The
number of net new total PM peak hour person trips in the City divided by the total TIF eligible
projects costs were used to calculate a $7,145.85 PM peak hour base fee.
The cost per PM peak hour trip fee is utilized to calculate a fee rate for each category of land use.
The existing rate schedule was developed for commonly used land use categories to assist the
City in the development review process and determination of the resulting impact fee. The process
to develop impact fees by land use required converting vehicle trip generation rates from national
sources into person trip rates to align with the multimodal goals of the City. The conversion
process from vehicle trips to person trips utilized the following steps (see Appendix A in 2016 Rate
Study for Impact Fees for Transportation):
1. Original vehicle trip rates were assembled from national source (latest ITE Trip Generation
manual).
2. This “vehicle trip rate” is multiplied by 1.353 average vehicle occupancy and divided by
vehicle model share of 74.2% to create a “person trip rate.” This person trip reflects all
modes of travel.
3. A pass-by reduction factor is then applied depending on the land use. A “pass-by” trip
reflects that certain land uses do not create new overall trips, but divert an existing trip
already on the network (e.g. getting coffee on the way to work at a new coffee shop).
4. A final conversion factor is applied (83.3%) to reduce the trip rate to reflect only person
trips using vehicles.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. b)

Updated TIF Methodology for Industrial Land Uses
The following sections summarize the proposed updates to the TIF methodology to better account
for the proportionate impacts of industrial land uses related to increased truck activity.
Additional Industrial Land Uses
The list of land uses and trip generation rates in the 2016 Rate Study for Impact Fees for
Transportation (Table 9) included only three industrial land uses; General Light Industrial,
Manufacturing, and Mini-Warehouse (Self-Storage). It is proposed that the list of land uses and trip
generation rates be expanded to include additional industrial land use types. The expanded list of
land use categories is based upon the land use definitions and rates identified in the ITE Trip
Generation manual (11th Edition, 2021). The following new land uses are proposed to be added to
the City’s rate schedule:
· #130 Industrial Park
· #150 Warehousing
· #154 High-Cube Warehouse: Transload/Short-Term
· #155 High-Cube Warehouse: Fulfillment Center (NS)
· #156 High-Cube Warehouse: Parcel Hub
· #157 High-Cube Warehouse: Cold Storage
The High-Cube Warehouse land use is relatively new and reflects the change in local and regional
freight distribution and delivery services due to the rapid, recent growth in e-commerce over the
last few years. The High-Cube Warehouse land use is broken into four categories to represent
different facilities at different stages of the product delivery process.
Updated Vehicle Trips Rates
As part of the update process, the trip rate for Manufacturing was updated to reflect the ITE Trip
Generation 11th Edition. This was a slight increase from 0.73 to 0.74 trips per 1,000 square feet of
building space. The added land uses mentioned above also have trip rates that reflect the ITE Trip
Generation 11th Edition.
Quantifying Truck Impacts on the Transportation Network
In urban settings such as the City of Renton, industrial land uses typically comprise a portion of
the available commercially zoned land. Due to the nature of the businesses, the industrial land
uses can generate a large number of daily truck trips. Analysis has shown that large trucks have
higher equivalent axle load impact on arterials than cars (up to 100-car equivalents). The higher
amount of truck trips in industrially zoned areas can have a significant impact on overall traffic
operations and the necessary pavement and base material depth of arterials, resulting in
increased capital costs.
Large tractor trailer trucks take the same physical space as up to four normal passenger cars in a
traffic queue. In addition, the slower acceleration and deceleration that is typical of large trucks
can adversely impact normal traffic operations. For example, a truck stopped at a traffic signal is
slow to accelerate and may take the same time to traverse a major intersection on a green light as
the time that 3 to 5 passenger cars would take for the same traffic movement.
The term “Passenger-Car Equivalents” (PCE) is used in traffic engineering to better reflect traffic
operations with trucks present. For larger tractor trailer trucks, a PCE of 4 is typically used. For
example, if 10 trucks per hour are making a left-turn at an intersection, then a PCE volume would
be 40 vehicles per hour. For purposes of the TIF methodology, each truck is considered as a four-
passenger-car equivalent.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. b)

Truck Adjustment Factor
The PCE ratios were used to update the Impact Fee Rate Schedule to better reflect truck activity
for each industrial land use. No truck factors were applied to other land uses. The ITE Trip
Generation 11th Edition now includes trip generation rates for trucks for certain land uses,
including industrial land uses. By comparing truck trip generation rates and total vehicle trip
generation rates, a typical truck percentage was determined by land use.
As shown in Table 1, the truck percentages ranged from 5 to 25 percent per land use category.
Using the identified truck percentages, and a PCE factor of 4, a Truck Percent Factor was
calculated to increase trip rates to reflect PCE vehicle trip ends by each industrial land use
category. Table 1 summarizes the Truck Percent Factors and the resulting PCE Vehicle Trip Ends.

157 High-Cube Warehouse: Cold Storage 0.12 25% 1.75 0.21
Source: Transpo Group, 2022
1. Vehicle trip ends updated to reflect latest editions of the ITE Trip Generation manual (11th Edition, 2021). This is the number of vehicle
trips generated during the PM peak hour per 1,000 square feet of building area.
2. Percent trucks reflects the how many trucks are anticipated within the total trips generated by the land use. Values shown are based on
the truck trip generation factors provided in ITE Trip Generation (11th Edition, 2021)
3. Truck Percent Factor is a factor that is used to convert vehicle trip ends to passenger-car equivalent trip ends. This factor incorporates
both the percent trucks information and a 4:1 passenger-car to truck ratio.
4. PCE Vehicle Trip Ends reflects the passenger-car equivalent trip ends. This is calculated by multiplying the truck percent factor by the
vehicle trip ends rate.
While some land uses such as Warehousing had a higher truck percentage at 17 percent, the
actual PCE vehicle trip ends are lower than uses such as Manufacturing or High-Cube
Warehouse: Parcel Hub which generate a higher rate of vehicles per 1,000 square feet of building
area. The updates to focus on in Table 1 are the updated PCE vehicle trip ends compared to
existing vehicle trips ends.
Updated Impact Fee Rate Schedule
The following summarizes how the PCE vehicle trip ends are utilized in updating the impact fee
rate schedule for each of the industrial land uses. The rate schedule that includes the PCE factor
is also compared to a rate schedule without the factor to understand how the updated
methodology captures more of the infrastructure costs to serve land uses that have a higher
amount of truck trips.
New Vehicle Impact Fee Rates
Table 2 summarizes the new Vehicle Impact Fee Rates based on incorporating the PCE Vehicle
Trip Ends from Table 1 (both new ITE rates and truck adjustment factors). The conversion of
vehicle trip ends, to person trip ends, to vehicle new person trip ends, to vehicle impact fee rates is
consistent with the methodology documented in the 2016 Rate Study for Impact Fees for
Transportation.

1. See Table 1 for passenger-car equivalent trip end calculations
2. Person trip ends reflects a conversion of vehicle trips to person trips using AVO of 1.353 and 74.2% mode share.
3. Vehicle New Person Trip Ends applies a 83.3% factor to convert total person trips into person trips using vehicles.
4. Vehicle impact fee rates reflect the cost per square feet by using the $7145.85 per trip fee.
Applicants for building permits who propose development in any of the industrial land use
categories in Table 2 can calculate the total transportation impact fee as follows:
1. Select the appropriate land use category from Table 2, and find the impact fee rate per
unit in the far right column.
2. Determine the amount of square feet of development the applicant proposes to build.
3. Multiply the impact free rate by the square footage amount to be built. The result is the
total impact fee to be paid to the City.
Comparison of Vehicle Impact Fees With and Without Truck Adjustment Factor
To understand how the updated rate schedule for industrial land uses would compare to a rate
schedule without the truck adjustment factor, a comparison table has been prepared. Table 3
compares the updated Vehicle Impact Fee Rate with and without the Truck Adjustment Factor
methodology. The “without condition” still uses the updated ITE Trip Generation rates from the
11th Edition for a better comparison. As shown in Table 3, the Truck Adjustment Factor increased
the Vehicle Impact Fee Rate about 15 to 78 percent than the default trip generation rate and fee.
