City of Renton 2015 State Legislative Agenda
The City of Renton’s 2015 State Legislative Agenda is divided as follows:
1.The 2015 PRIORITY ISSUES – items Renton will devote its highest level of advocacy toward
achieving. These are outlined in a separate handout.
2.The 2015 “SUPPORT/OPPOSE” Items. This part of the Agenda includes an array of issues that
others will lead efforts to either advance or head off. The City will use time and effort and join
others in supporting beneficial measures or opposing those which would have an adverse
impact.
6a. - Executive Department recommends
adopting the 2015 State Legislative Page 17 of 56
City of Renton 2015 Agenda “SUPPORT/OPPOSE”
Criminal Justice/Courts/Jails/Law Enforcement
Support efforts to obtain funding to offset costs associated with the Indigent Defense Rule
issued by State Supreme Court: Renton joins cities across the state with significant operational
and cost concerns over a recently issued indigent defense rule from the State Supreme Court.
The rule mandates that by Jan. 1, 2015, no public defender will be allowed to handle more than
400 cases per year – or 300 if a “weighted average” formula is utilized. Renton projects that this
new court rule will result in approximately $212,000 in new public defense costs each year. The
City will support legislation that help cities offset these new cost mandates.
Broaden use of DNA sampling; oppose legislation mandating onerous DNA record-holding
requirements: The Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs (WASPC) may pursue a
bill to extend the use of DNA sampling of offenders who commit serious crimes – as a
technology tool to resolve other crimes. Renton will support this effort. At the same time, the
City would join WASPC in opposing measures that seek to place onerous mandates on local law
enforcement for holding DNA evidence records.
Economic Development/Infrastructure/Parks & Recreation/Housing/Arts & Culture
Tax-increment financing (TIF), Local Revitalization Financing (LRF): Renton will support
legislative initiatives to establish new TIF-like tools in the State of Washington, or at the very
least to authorize additional funding for the existing LRF program. These programs are critical to
helping local communities bring infrastructure investments to bear to help major developments
happen sooner and more substantially and to attract economic development to our state vs.
losing industrial recruiting battles to neighboring states.
Public Works Trust Fund (PWTF); Washington Wildlife, Recreation and Parks (WWRP), Youth
Athletic Facilities (YAF): Renton supports these and other local infrastructure accounts in the
state Capital Budget and will work to help ensure funds are protected and, if possible,
enhanced. The City also will support a coalition effort to ensure a $200 million allocation for the
PWTF in the 2015-17 Capital Budget, and to end the diversion of tax proceeds from the PWTF.
Funding for affordable housing: Renton supports efforts to maintain and grow the Housing
Trust Fund and to maintain ‘safety-net’ funding for programs such as the Transitional Housing,
Ownership, and Rental Assistance (THOR) program.
“Healthy & Sustainable Communities” Initiative: Renton has been involved in the development
of this initiative by parks and recreation interests and continues to support it. The Healthy &
Sustainable Communities effort focuses on maintaining and augmenting funding for public
health, recreation, WWRP, Safe Routes to Schools and bicycle-pedestrian programs, etc.
6a. - Executive Department recommends
adopting the 2015 State Legislative Page 18 of 56
Changes in statute to allow more small public works projects to be performed in-house:
Individual cities may bring forth a bill in 2015 to allow code cities to perform more small public
works projects in-house. If such legislation is brought forward in 2014, Renton will support it.
Small business grants and loans: Renton supports programs and funding such as Small Business
Development Centers (SBDCs) to assist small businesses, especially start-up enterprises that
need initial help, or minority- and women-owned enterprises.
Recreational liability immunity at boat launch sites: Renton is prepared to support 2015
legislation being promoted by the City of Gig Harbor, designed to provide more robust liability
protection to public agencies which charge moorage or launch fees to recreational boaters.
Education/Workforce Development
K-12 “paramount duty” obligations: Renton recognizes that great communities must have
great schools, and supports efforts to ensure the Legislature is meeting and properly funding its
“paramount duty” obligations for K-12. At the same time, meeting constitutional funding
obligations in the wake of the “McCleary” decision should not be done in a way that re-directs,
shifts, and reduces funding for programs that are critical to the success of local government.
Educated/flexible work force for all employers: Renton supports standards and accountability
measures to ensure students are being adequately prepared to enter the work force of the
future, quality teachers are being attracted and retained, and coordination is occurring to
enable work force development efforts among K-12 and post-secondary colleges and vocational
schools to be as seamless as possible.
Employee Services Issues/LEOFF/PERS
Oppose pension enhancements that add costs – and fully fund pension responsibilities:
Renton will join others in opposing pension enhancements that would exacerbate cost
pressures at the local level. At the same time, the City urges the Legislature to maintain funding
obligations for existing pension programs to avoid “spiking” of pension contribution rates.
Oppose changes to “presumptive disease” laws: Renton will join the AWC and other employer
representatives in opposing any efforts to expand “presumptive disease” laws for determining
whether workers’ compensation should be triggered for a disease that is presumed to be
occupationally-related.
LEOFF 1 medical costs: Renton is prepared to support any legislative initiatives to reduce or
relieve significant LEOFF 1 medical cost pressures on local governments.
Environmental Issues/Utilities/Water/Stormwater/Flood Control
“Fish consumption” rates: Renton will join the AWC and other key players in the business
community, in supporting a current water-quality standards proposal on fish-consumption
6a. - Executive Department recommends
adopting the 2015 State Legislative Page 19 of 56
rates. The City would join others in opposing fish-consumption rates that would have significant
negative impacts on Boeing’s industrial stormwater discharge costs, or result in major upward
spikes in wastewater treatment costs. Draft fish-consumption rules are expected to be debated
throughout the 2015 Session.
Puget Sound Action agenda: Renton supports the goals and objectives laid out in the PSP
Action Agenda – so long as implementation of those goals does not end up resulting in
unfunded mandates that would add to costs and burdens already faced by cities.
Stormwater and Flood Control Funding: Renton will strongly support a proposal from the
State Department of Ecology to allocate $100 million in the 2015-17 Capital Budget for
stormwater project grants at the local level. Additionally, the City will closely track a likely
initiative led by Capital Budget lawmakers to provide new funding for stormwater, flood control,
and water supply. Any such initiative must be constructed in a way that is equitable for Puget
Sound and King County local agencies in terms of funding sources utilized and where
investments occur on the ground.
Changes to water-sewer districts “assumption” laws: Renton will join the AWC in opposing a
possible legislative initiative to require that all future ‘assumptions’ of water and sewer districts
by cities be subject to a public vote. This would be in direct conflict with the expectations of the
state’s Growth Management Act. The City believes that the Wenatchee vs. Chelan County Public
Utility District case should further authorize cities to collect utility tax on water-sewer district
services delivered inside city limits – just as they already do with city-supplied water and sewer
services inside a corporate city limits.
Product Stewardship program: Renton supports legislative initiatives to expand the state’s
successful “Product Stewardship” program, which utilizes manufacturer-financed efforts to
enable recycling of products such as electronics, mercury-containing lights, paints, and used
prescription drugs.
Funding to assist with Watershed Resource Inventory Area 9 (WRIA 9) Salmon Recovery
Efforts: Renton supports Capital Budget program funding that will assist with WRIA 9 salmon
recovery efforts, such as a $140 million request for the Puget Sound Acquisition and Restoration
fund (PSAR).
Water and electrical fixture efficiency standards: Renton supports legislation to establish
efficiency standards for water and electrical fixtures.
Fire Prevention & Emergency Services
Maximum property tax rates for Emergency Medical Services (EMS): The Washington Fire
Chiefs’ Association (WFCA) may well ask the 2015 Legislature for authority to increase the
maximum property tax rate for EMS levies from 50 cents/$1000 to 75 cents/$1000. This would
be a special property tax rate that would not impact the general $5.90/$1000 for cities and
other property taxing jurisdictions. While EMS agencies in King County are not currently at the
.50/$1000 maximum rate, Renton is supportive of providing this flexibility for EMS.
6a. - Executive Department recommends
adopting the 2015 State Legislative Page 20 of 56
Cost recovery for statewide emergency disaster mobilization: Currently under state law, the
only cost-recovery available to fire agencies for responding to statewide disasters is with staff
costs related to wild fires. WFCA may promote legislation to broaden the types of emergency
disaster response for which cost recovery is available. Renton would support this effort.
Opposing efforts by insurance companies to pay patients directly for ambulance transport
fees: Renton will join the WFCA in supporting legislation that ensures insurance payments for
ambulance transport go to the fire/EMS agencies that provide the service and are partly reliant
on that revenue.
Fiscal Issues
Oppose legislation that would result in unfunded mandates, remove or pre-empt local
authority, or erode local revenues: Renton strongly supports “home rule” for local
governments and, as a staple of its legislative initiatives, opposes legislation that would result in
unfunded or “under-funded” mandates to local government, or erode local revenues, or seek to
remove or pre-empt local authority.
Department of Revenue legislation to simplify sales taxation on “amusement and recreation
services”: The DOR is looking to bring forward Agency-request legislation in 2015 that would
simplify and reduce the sales tax collection burden for recreational activities and leagues
operated by parks and recreation agencies as well as non-profits and the private-sector. Renton
supports this and believes it makes little sense to collect sales tax from those who already pay
user and field fees for participating in healthy activities such as soccer, basketball, volleyball and
softball leagues.
Centralized statewide administration of business licensing: Renton will join other cities in
opposing legislation that would mandate all cities joint the state’s Business Licensing Service.
Integrating with the state’s BLS should continue to be an option for cities, but not a mandate.
Utility tax authority for counties: Counties have in past Sessions sought utility tax authority
that is currently provided to city governments, but not county governments. Renton is open to
supporting utility tax authority for counties, as long as there are assurances that it applies only
to the unincorporated area to prevent any “double taxation” of municipal ratepayers.
Public health funding: Renton supports Operating Budget funding allocations to ensure that
the Seattle-King County Health District, and other public health agencies around the state, have
the funding they need to provide core services.
General Government/Miscellaneous
Public Records Act: Renton will support legislative initiatives that give local agencies ways to
maintain transparency and “sunshine” for its citizenry while providing local agencies with ways
to address “harassment”-related records requests. The City also supports cost-recovery
mechanisms for records requests that are for commercial purpose and profit, not transparency.
6a. - Executive Department recommends
adopting the 2015 State Legislative Page 21 of 56
Limiting liability for cities and other units of local/state government: Renton supports
initiatives to put reasonable limits on tort liability for the state and local governments.
Growth Management/Land-Use/Planning
GMA planning grants: Renton strongly supports restoring GMA planning grants for local
governments. GMA planning grant funding has been removed from recent state budgets,
leaving Renton and other Central Puget Sound cities which have 2015 GMA Comprehensive Plan
update requirements to bear the entire cost of this work.
Mandatory deferral of impact fees: In 2013, the Legislature enacted – and the Governor vetoed
– legislation that would have mandated cities and counties to defer the collection of all GMA
impact fees until final occupancy for housing developments. This legislative initiative arose
again in 2014, but was not enacted. Renton will oppose this legislation if it is brought forward in
2015, as it would require the City to defer even school impact fees. However, the City is open to
looking at ways to provide relief for small homebuilders who face initial financing pressures (vs.
larger builders that can amortize those costs).
Annexation laws: Renton will support efforts to further streamline annexation laws, but
opposes legislation that would put new hurdles and burdens on annexations.
Human & Social Services
Funding for human services: Renton supports the efforts of human and social service groups
that will seek enhanced funding for mental health and will look to preserve funding for
preventing and ending homelessness, enhancing early childhood education, and providing a
basic safety net for vulnerable and older populations in need.
o Strongly support efforts to find solutions to end the homelessness crisis, especially
those focusing on youth and homeless women with children. Support efforts that help
better serve our vulnerable populations.
6a. - Executive Department recommends
adopting the 2015 State Legislative Page 22 of 56
Quality of Life
Renton strongly supports policies, investments and tools that
contribute to quality-of-life enhancements
• Request $3.6 million
in the 2015-17 Capital
Budget for constructing
Phase I of the 3.1-acre
Sunset Neighborhood
Park, a major gateway
for the Sunset Area and
a key piece of Renton’s
“Sunset Area Community
Reinvestment Strategy.”
• The state funding would
be matched by a city investment of $5.26 million that includes front-loaded
funds for acquisition, design, permitting and other requirements. As a
lead-up to the park project, Renton and local partners will have completed
$48 million worth of public infrastructure investments in the Sunset Area.
• The park will be a gateway and catalyst for transforming a part of the
city that was the site of World War II-era housing, and help overcome
academic, health care, obesity, public safety, and socio-economic
challenges.
Transportation
Renton urges the Legislature
to enact a comprehensive
transportation package
• Fix the worst first and finish projects
already started; I-405/SR-167 interchange
and the Renton-to-Bellevue segment of
I-405.
• Provide direct distributions of new gas tax
revenue and local transportation funding
options to cities and counties.
• Enhance grant funding for critical
programs such as Transportation
Improvement Board (TIB), Freight
Mobility Strategic Investment Board
(FMSIB) and Complete Streets.
Public Safety
Renton strongly supports funding
and tools that assist local efforts to
provide vital public safety services
• Fund critical public safety needs by
sharing a percentage of marijuana excise
tax revenues.
• Reconcile and consolidate laws and
regulations on retail and medical
marijuana use.
• Enhance funding for Basic Law
Enforcement Academy (BLEA) training
courses to help reduce current backlog.
• Provide $2 million in 2015-17 Operating
Budget monies for competitive grant
funds for gang intervention programs
such as Alive and Free.
• Provide funding for critical public safety
programs such as E-911 funds and sex
offender address verification monies.
Fiscal Stability
Renton urges lawmakers to protect “state-shared” revenues,
avoid funding cuts for public safety needs, and provide more
tools and authority to address local needs
• Restore full liquor excise tax distributions and restore a percentage growth
in liquor profits.
• Provide local governments with sustainable revenue options and tools to
address their needs, including a fix to the law that limits annual property
tax growth to 1 percent while annual costs increase at the rate of inflation.
• Provide local agencies with new authority and tools to control “cost-
drivers” on the expense side.

original agreement has already expired, Finance needs the amendment to be approved in order to
accept the additional funding that the State wishes to provide to our agency.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Sierra Pacific Construction started construction on the Maplewood Creek and Madsen Creek Sediment
Basin Cleaning Project 2014 on August 4, 2014, and completed the work on October 29, 2014. The
project included installing temporary diversion dams, dewatering the sediment basins, fish rescue,
removing accumulated sediment, refilling the sediment basins, and restoration and hydroseeding. The
original contract amount was $75,123.57 and the final contract amount is $75,236.25. The increase of
$112.68 was due to minor changes in bid item quantities.
The project is funded by the Surface Water Utility’s Capital Improvement Program Maplewood Creek
Sediment Basin Cleaning project account #427.475060 and the Madsen Creek Sediment Basin Cleaning
project account #427.475050. The approved 2014 budget for both accounts is $120,000. There is
sufficient budget remaining in the approved 2014 budget for both accounts to fund the final pay
estimate and staff costs.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Accept the Maplewood Creek and Madsen Creek Sediment Basin Cleaning Project 2014, approve the
final pay estimate, and release the retainage of $3,435.45 after 60 days and after all the required
releases from the state have been obtained.
