Included in the 2017/2018 biennial budget document is the City’s 2017 Index of Positions and Pay Ranges (Index). Since the adoption of the 2017/2018 biennial budget, the council has approved several position reclassifications and new positions which effect the Index. All position changes have already been approved and adopted by the Council. However, since the Index was originally adopted via ordinance, any updates made to the Index requires an new ordinance. Since the position changes have been approved, the final step is to adopt an updated Index reflecting a ll of the changes made throughout 2017, in addition to the 2018 city-wide COLA increases. EXHIBITS: A. 2018 Renton Salary Index B. Ordinance STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the ordinance updating the 2018 Adopted Budget Index of Positions and Pay Range s.

ASD anticipates total project to be less than maximum payout, but if project costs reach maximum payout, staff may need to request additional funding with 2018 budget adjustment. SUMMARY OF ACTION: The State of Washington passed HB 2005 requiring cities with a business license to join a state -sponsored business license portal. The city's current system of record will not interface with File Local (the portal recommended by staff) as the city uses multiple systems for licensing and tax which are not compatible with File Local. The City purchased Praxis (tax and license software) from the City of Bellevue which has successfully integrated with File Local in other cities. In order to comply with HB 2005 and modify the Praxis software to align with Renton tax and license structure as defined by the city's ordinances, outside expertise is needed to accurately enhance and modify the program. Vladimir Martinov DBA Daizy Logik, LLC is recommended to perform computer programming and consulting services for the Praxis software. Vladimir Martinov was the original programmer of the software, is very familiar with all aspects of the program, and has successfully modified Praxis for other cities. EXHIBITS: A. Issue Paper B. Daizy Logik, LLC Contract STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve the agreement with Daizy Logik LLC for computer programming and consulting services on the City’s software program Praxis for a maximum contract value of $136,000, and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the agreement. AGENDA ITEM #6. d) Summary of Action: Staff presents a Professional Services Agreement with an expiration date of 12/31/2018 with Vladimir Martinov DBA Daizy Logik LLC for the Council’s consideration. Background The State of Washington passed HB 2005 requiring cities with a business license to join a state sponsored business license portal. The City’s current system of record will not interface with File Local as the City uses multiple systems for licensing and tax. The City purchased Praxis (tax and license software) from the City of Bellevue which has successfully integrated with File Local for multiple other cities. Also Praxis will provide a combined system of record for all business license and tax related functions that the City currently administers. Issue While Praxis meets many of the City’s needs it does need additional modification and enhancements to follow City ordinance, to combine all of the City administered business tax and licensing functions, and to successfully integrate with File Local. Vladimir Martinov was the original programmer of the software and is very familiar will all aspects of the program. The City has decided that outside expertise is needed to accurately enhance and modify the program as our staff does not have adequate experience or familiarity with the program. He has performed similar work for the City of Everett for the same software program including several of the items that are included in the current contract scope. Solution In order to comply with HB 2005 and modify the Praxis software to align with Renton tax and license structure as defined by the city’s ordinances, staff recommend approving the agreement with Daizy Logik LLC to perform computer programming and consulting services for the Praxis software. Staff Recommendation: Approve the agreement with Daizy Logik LLC for computer programming and consulting services on the City’s software program Praxis for a maximum contract value of $136,000, and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the agreement.

The difference will be absorbed using salary savings from curren t vacant positions for 2018 only. After which, the position will be rolled into the 2019/2020 budget accordingly. SUMMARY OF ACTION: In April of this year, CED implemented electronic plan review. As a result of these process changes, many of the Administrative Secretary tasks have been eliminated from this position in the Planning Division. For example, filing, printing, collating reports, and mailings are no longer necessary as these tasks have been replaced with updating the permit system, updating the City webpage, and working with Laserfiche. As CED progresses to electronic permit submittal, it is anticipated that that Administrative Secretary tasks associated with this position will further diminish. This increase in responsibilities are corre ctly related and listed under the Planning Technician job description instead of the Administrative Secretary I job description. EXHIBITS: A. Issue Paper B. Job Description STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends a reclassification of the Planning Administrative Secretary I position to a Planning Technician position. AGENDA ITEM #6. e) DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT M E M O R A N D U M DATE:November 17, 2017 TO:Armondo Pavone, Council President Members of Renton City Council VIA:Denis Law, Mayor FROM:Chip Vincent, CED Administrator (x6588) STAFF CONTACT:Vanessa Dolbee, Current Planning Manager (x7314) SUBJECT:Reclassification of the Administrative Secretary I to Planning Technician ISSUE: Should the Planning Administrative Secretary I position be reclassified to a Planning Technician position? RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends a reclassification the Planning Administrative Secretary I position to a Planning Technician position. BACKGROUND SUMMARY: In April of this year, CED implemented electronic plan review. As a result of these process changes, many of the Administrative Secretary tasks have been eliminated from this position in the Planning Division. For example, filing, printing, collating reports, and mailings are no longer necessary as these tasks have been replaced with updating the permit system, updating the City webpage, and working with Laserfiche. As CED progresses to electronic permit submittal, it is anticipated that that Administrative Secretary tasks associated with this position will further diminish. This increase in responsibilities are correctly related and listed under the Planning Technician job description instead of the Administrative Secretary I job description. The increasing complexity of the work in this position is exemplified by the fact that our department has not been successful at recruiting and retaining a staff member to fill this position. Staff anticipates that matching the job duties with the correct job description will result in finding the appropriately skilled staff member to fill this vital role in Current Planning. AGENDA ITEM #6. e) Armondo Pavone, Council President Page 2 of 2 November 17, 2017 CONCLUSION: Because the Planning Administrative Secretary I position currently performs many of the job duties listed on the Planning Technician job description and the evolution of the tasks assigned to this staff member as a result of the implementation of electronic plan review, staff recommends the reclassification of the Administrative Secretary I to Planning Technician.

AGENDA ITEM #6. g) COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT M E M O R A N D U M DATE:December 4, 2017 TO:Armondo Pavone, Council President Members of Renton City Council VIA:Denis Law, Mayor FROM:Kelly Beymer, Community Services Administrator – x 6617 STAFF CONTACT:Maryjane Van Cleave, Recreation Director – x 6713 Cailin Hunsaker, Parks and Golf Course Director – x6606 SUBJECT:Proposal for Community Services Department Reorganization ISSUE: Should the Community Services Department reorganize and rename certain divisions and select staff positions within the department to more effectively meet the demands of new programs and increased workload? BACKGROUND: The Community Services Department includes the following seven divisions: Parks and Golf Course, Parks Planning and Natural Resources, Facilities, Human Services, Recreation, Neighborhoods, Resources and Events, and the Museum. In 2009 the Parks and Golf Course Divisions were consolidated for salary savings. While the Golf Course Manager position remained vacant, the Parks and Golf Course Director’s salary was equally divided out of the Golf Course’s Enterprise Fund and the City’s General Fund. In 2016 the Manager position was filled in order to dedicate time to the operations, maintenance and capital planning for this facility. The Golf Course Manager has been reporting directly to the Administrator. As a result, the Parks and Golf Course Director has shifted away from Golf Course responsibilities to add grant-writing and park-based programming. Similarly, the Neighborhoods, Resources and Events (NRE) Division was created to organize the City’s special events and to create a permitting process to review non-city events and coordinate logistics with other departments. Initially the NRE Division consisted of a Manager. Over time it inherited the Farmers Market and Neighborhood Program from Community and Economic Development Department, and the Public Relations and Event Coordinator from the Executive Office. More recently, NRE inherited a Recreation Coordinator to coordinate citywide volunteerism, the Summer Lunch program and to assist with events and special projects. AGENDA ITEM #6. g) Re-ORG. PROPOSAL Community Services is proposing the following which will result in a general fund budget cost savings: (see attached Org Charts) Parks and Golf Course Division would again divide to become the Parks and Trails Division and the Golf Course Division. All of the salary for the Parks and Trails Director position would be allocated to the General Fund. Parks and Trails Division will add the Farmers Market program and the Volunteer program from the current NRE Division. A majority of the activities associated with these two programs occur outside in parks and have established relationships with Parks staff for support; their incorporation into the Parks and Trails Division addresses efficiencies and the ability to expand programming. To adequately reflect the autonomy of the Golf Course Manager position and the responsibilities necessary to operate the facility, the current salary would increase one step to M29 to be consistent with other managers that report to the Administrator. Currently Recreation and NRE division staff operate separately with different management leads, budgets and supporting staff. Over the years, additional responsibilities have landed in the NRE Division such as Summer Lunch program, sponsorship oversight, regional coordination of Day of Service, the City’s Volunteer program, and special event permitting (in which the volume of permits has grown 58% since 2016). There is an immense amount of overlap in the planning, implementation and execution of the events and programs that serve the same residents. For example, Recreation staff manage several mid-to-small sized events throughout the year based out of the City’s Recreation Centers, such as K9 Candy Cane 5K Run, Truck-or-Treating, Bike Safety Rodeo, among many others. Often NRE staff are pulled in to help with these events. In addition, NRE staff lead and coordinate implementation of large-scale events such as Renton River Days, 4th of July, Multicultural Festival, Cruz the Loop, Clam Lights, and more, all of which include assistance from Recreation staff. In 2016, the Recreation Manager was promoted to Director, which created a vacant Recreation Manager position. After thorough evaluation, it was determined that this was the opportunity to reorganize the divisions to address the significant increase in workload and provide better alignment of the City’s resources. We propose to combine the current NRE and Recreation Manager positions, dissolve the NRE Division, and move the event related work and Neighborhood Program to a new division, titled Recreation and Neighborhoods. The Farmers Market and Volunteer Program would go to the Parks and Trails Division. By making this change, we will maximize resources, increase efficiencies, and allow for increased capacity to take on new programming, such as a city-wide health initiative, and environmental education in our parks. This change will set up Community Services for success AGENDA ITEM #6. g) in the immediate future, and provide a structure that allows for implementation of best- practices and evidence-based programming for the citizens of Renton. These changes have been vetted with both the Human Resources and Finance Divisions. Budget Impact The current Parks and Golf Course Director salary adjustment will be made in 2017. The remaining adjustments will be made January 1, 2018. Community Services budget savings is estimated from Finance at $77,315. A portion of this savings would be used for part-time summer staff. The Administrator proposes the reorganization of the Community Services Department will make it more productive, innovative, effective, and better suited to meet service needs. The attached organizational chart shows the proposed structure and responsibilities of Community Services Department personnel.

AGENDA ITEM #6. h) CITY OF RENTON COMPREHENSIVE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLAN City of Renton Office of Emergency Management Adopted by Council October 23, 2017 AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 1 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.

Plan 10 BASIC PLAN Introductory Material 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. 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. This plan is designed to meet the requirements for a comprehensive emergency management plan as described in Washington Administrative Code 118-30 and Revised Code of Washington 38.52. 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 apply to preparedness and emergency activities undertaken by the City of Renton and supporting organizations required to minimize the effects of emergency events and facilitate recovery activities. 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 applies within the City of Renton municipal boundaries. Situation Overview Natural Hazards AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 11 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. The relative probability and impact of the primary hazards are detailed in the City of Renton 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. Vulnerable Critical Facilities For the purposes of the CEMP, the City has identified the following facilities consider ed critical to the regular operations of the City that could be vulnerable to the impacts of a natural hazard. 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 of the noted situations could create significant loss of life, injury, property damage, and 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 ass istance from nearby communities, counties, and State or Federal agencies for 2 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. Organization and Assignment of Responsibilities Organization The initial response to or the imminent threat of an emergency will be conducted under the guidelines of the National Incident Management System (NIMS), the Incident Command System (ICS), and in accordance with the Emergency Support Functions (ESFs) contained in this plan. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 12 EOC Organization Activation Levels The EOC is organized into functional levels that coordinate with one another as well as with external agencies and resources. The EOC Director oversees all functions as well as Public Information activities. The Administrator from the lead Incident Command department coordinates with key officials at the Executive/Policy level. The Emergency Management Division of the Executive Department maintains a duty officer available 24 hours a day to activate the EOC when needed. Level Three Minimal staffing available to monitor the situation, answer the main EOC phone line, call in additional staff if needed, and provide limit ed support to field operations as requested. Examples include: Certain weather advisories or watches, activation of a city Department Operations Center, a planned community event, and/or minor field incident needing minimal support. A level three activation may also be done remotely with the EOC Duty Officer performing all functions and utilizing the EOC Duty Officer phone as the main EOC line. Level Two Minimal staffing of all appropriate EOC sections to facilitate interdepartmental coordination, public information dissemination, and information collection and distribution through situation reports. Examples include: moderate earthquake requiring damage assessment, major wind or winter storm, mass evacuation, and/or moderate flooding. Level One Full staffing to perform all required functions of the EOC. Examples include: major earthquake, major flood, or multiple departments involved in full response or support to another major incident. EOC Director The EOC Director is responsible for coordination of EOC activities; interface with the Policy Advisory Group, Incident Command, and other government agencies and private organizations; and may also authorize support staff to perform functions such as public information, liaison, safety and security. Operations Section AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 13 This section is responsible for the initial receipt and coordination of information and requests related to field response. This section also maintains communication with field representatives and shares vital information with other EOC workers. This section is headed by the Operations Section Chief, who reports to the EOC Director. The Operations Section Chief is drawn from the lead incident response department. Department or Emergency Support Function representatives coordinate resources and information with their own department personnel, all working together to ensure the best possible coordination of effort for the overall response. Incident -specific agencies, such as a pipeline company, can be added as needed. If necessary, the following branches may be created to maintain the appropriate span of control for the Operations Section Chief:  Emergency Services Branch (Fire/EMS and Law Enforcement representatives)  Human Services Branch (Community Services, Hospital, Mental Health, Public Health, Schools, and Community Organizations Active in Disaster representatives may be added) Infrastructure Branch 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 by the cr (Logistics) and others 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 specialize d information to assist in incident planning. They work with the Operations Section to advise on upcoming issues and plan for resolving them. When ready, the Demobilization Unit coordinates the de-escalation of the EOC response. 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, and other general support functions within the facility. Within the Supply Unit, staff handle both internal and external resource requests. They identify AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 14 needed resources and work with Finance/Administration to procure them. If local resources are exhausted, resource requests are forwarded to the Kin g County ECC after EOC Director approval. The Logistics Section may also help with volunteer and donations management coordination. The Communications Unit within Logistics collects and distributes incident information within the EOC using call-takers, amateur radio operators, and message distributors. All messages pass through the Message Controller in the Planning Section so the information may be shared more broadly if appropriate. Finance/Administration This section is responsible for monitoring costs, procurements, contracts and other financial considerations. This section is co-located with the Logistics Section, but is headed by the Finance Section Chief, who reports to the EOC Director. Staffed by representatives from Finance and HR/Risk Management, the Finance/Administration Section issues checks and purchase orders, and expends public funds to secure emergency resources located by Logistics. 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. EOC Readiness The Emergency Management Director is responsible for ensuring the maintenance and operational readiness of the primary EOC and coordinating the readiness of the alternate EOCs. The EOC should include facilities for feeding personnel and an emergency power source capable of maintaining a functioning, fully staffed EOC for a minimum of 72 hours. Primary EOC Location Renton Fire Station #12 1209 Kirkland Ave NE Renton, WA 98056 Alternate EOC Locations 1) Renton Fire Station #13 18802 108th Ave SE Renton WA 98055 2) Renton Fire Station #14 1900 Lind Ave SW Renton, WA 98057 3) Renton City Hall, 4th Floor 1055 S Grady Way AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 15 Renton, WA 98057 Restoration of City and Public Services Efforts to restore city/public services to a basic functioning level shall be generally prioritized as listed below.

Assignment of Responsibilities Role 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 Fire Authority Chief, and the AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 16 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. City Council may be presented with special legislation proposals to facilitate the disaster response or recovery. Role of Policy Advisory Group The Administrator from the lead Incident Command department coordinates the Policy Advisory group, made up of the Mayor, Chief Administrative Officer, Deputy Public Affairs Administrator and the Department Administrators. 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. Issues and conflicts that arise in an emergency should be handled at the lowest appropriate level of the incident organization. The Policy Advisory Group is facilitated by the Mayor or his or her designee. 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 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 budgeting 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 City Hall 7th Floor Conferencing Center, or other location deemed appropriate at the time.

The lead city department will provide a qualified representative to serve in the EOC if activated. Departmental Operations Centers Departmental Operations Centers (DOCs) 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 the EOC (when activated) regarding incident priorities and resource status to ensure overall incident objectives are met. Emergency Operations Center Although field Incident Command will control on-scene activities related to the disaster, the EOC will coordinate the overall city response to the disaster. The Emergency Management Director, other emergency management staff, designated city staff, agency representatives, and trained volunteers shall provide staffing at the EOC when activated rather than the incident site. The Emergency Management Director or her/his delegate will coordinate the activities of the EOC in the role of EOC Director. Policy Advisory Group Policy decisions will be referred to the Policy Advisory Group, along with a briefing and recommendations, by the Administrator of the lead Incident Command department and the EOC Director. The Policy Advisory Group, led by the Mayor, will advise City Council of policy-level decisions that require their direction, and will oversee the implementation of those decisions. Emergency Operations Center Introduction 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. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 20 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)  Processing and distribution of event information (situation reports to city officials, the King County ECC, 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 EOC coordinates the overall city response to the disaster, which includes obtaining an emergency proclamation from an authorized official 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 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. EOC Activation Authority to Activate EOC AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 21 The City EOC may be activated by any of the following city officials or their designated alternates:  Mayor, or their delegate  Chief Administrative Officer or delegate  Department Administrator for Police, Public Works, or Community Services or delegate  Emergency Management Director or delegate Authority to Request EOC Activation In addition to the officials that may activate the EOC, the following personnel may request activation of the EOC:  Any Department Administrator  Regional Fire Authority Chief or delegate  Police Department Deputy Chief or Commanders  Public Works Department Duty Supervisor Procedures to Activate EOC To activate the EOC, the requesting individual should attempt to notify one of the following, in the preferred order: 1. EOC Duty Officer 2. Department Administrators The Police Watch Desk is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and can assist in notification of the above individuals.

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 messe nger or runner shall deliver messages to the EOC. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 23 The Renton Emergency Communication Service (RECS) is a nonprofit 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. Plan Development and Maintenance Planning Committee and Plan Development 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 Department  Administrative Services Department  City Attorney Department  Community and Economic Development Department  Community Services Department  Human Resource and Risk Management 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 and training. 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 city departments and partner agencies. The Emergency Management Group is charged with coordinating 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 Management Group shall ensure that this plan is consistent with the King County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan, the Regional Disaster Plan for Public and Private Organizations in King County, Washington, the Puget Sound Regional Catastrophic Disaster Coordination Plan, and the Washington State Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Distribution of Minor and Major Plan Modifications Changes to any part of the plan may be minor (small edits that d o 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 Office of Emergency Management, the Emergency Management Group, and any EOC staff who may have a part in EOC response. Renton Emergency Management is ultimately responsible for updates and changes to the CEMP and will submit a revised CEMP to the AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 24 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 Office of Emergency Management will promulgate the revised CEMP elements to all known stakeholders through communication and training efforts. Frequency of Updates Portions of the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan should be reviewed and updated annually.

Scope The City of Renton Emergency Operations Center (EOC) will coordinate with county, state and federal agencies to supplement the transportation resource needs of the city departme nts. Priorities for these resource requests and their allocation will also be determined in coordination with the City of 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. Policies The City of Renton Public Works Department will act as the lead agency for transportation related issues, and as such will be responsible for three operational functions. The first is to identify and ensure the integrity of local transportation routes for emergency response. The second is to coordinate transportation resources with city departments as outlined above under Scope. Third, upon activation of the City of Renton EOC, the City of R enton Public Works Department will fill the Incident Management System (IMS) role of Ground Support/ Transportation Unit, ensuring a smooth operational transition towards large event management. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 41 Situation Emergency/Disaster Hazards and Conditions The City of Renton Hazard Mitigation Plan identifies the natural and technological emergencies or disasters the City of Renton may experience that could severely damage transportation systems. Local transportation systems and activities could be hampered by damaged infrastructures and disrupted communications. Specific hazards of note that would affect transportation infrastructure include earthquake (direct damage), windstorm (debris blocking roads), winter storms (making roads impassable), flooding (direct damage, debris deposits, or impassable roads). Planning Assumptions  The local transportation infrastructure will most likely sustain damage in a major earthquake, and may be damaged in other disasters. The degree of damage will determine the effectiveness and efficiency of the response and recovery efforts.  Disaster response and recovery activities, which require the use of the transportation system, may be difficult to coordinate effectively when transportation infrastructure is negatively affected.  The immediate need for the use of the transportation system for response and recovery activities will most likely exceed the capabilities of city resources, requiring assistance from private, county, state and federal agencies to support the local efforts. Concept of Operations General It is the policy of the City of Renton that public transportation authorities are responsible for restoring transportation systems under their control. The City of Renton Public Works Department is the primary agency responsible for the assessment of damages to highway and road transportation routes in the City of Renton. Organization The responsibility for assessment and identification of functional transportation systems in the City of Renton is the City of Renton Public Works Departm ent. Public transportation authorities are responsible for the restoration of transportation systems under their control. A Ground Support/Transportation Unit from the City of Renton Public Works Department will organize transportation resources and maintain liaison with transportation authorities. The Transportation Unit is located in the Logistics Section of the Incident Management System. Procedures AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 42 Transportation Systems The procedures for the assessment and restoration of transportation systems are located with the City of Renton Public Works Department or the agency having the system under their control. Transportation Resources Although an Incident Command Post or Departmental Operations Center (DOC) may directly manage requests for transportation resources in smaller incidents, in a disaster or complex incident, resource ordering will be coordinated with the City of Renton EOC to eliminate potential duplication of requests and ensure overall incident priorities are met. When the local resources are depleted, requests will be made through the county or state. Procedures for the coordination of transportation resources are located under the Logistics Section of the City of Renton EOC procedures.

ESF 2 also identifies methods for rapid alerting and warning of city officials and the general public of a potential or occurring emergency or disaster. Scope This ESF describes the coordination of the departments’ actions within the City of Renton that need to be taken to establish and maintain communications 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. It also addresses special considerations for communicating with significant segments of the population with limited English proficiency and those with access or functional needs. The systems used include voice, data, internet, radio, or personal contact through voice, pictures, gestures, or by leveraging existing social networks. Specific procedures are addressed in the policy and procedure manuals of participating departments and agencies. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 48 Policies It is the policy of the City of Renton to use normal communications and warning systems as much as possible during an emergency or disaster. The city aims to communicate emergency messages in a manner which can be understood by its diverse population. The City of Renton will prioritize available communications 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 capabilit ies, the City of Renton will request assistance through the King County Office of Emergency Management/Regional Communications and Emergency Coordination Center or directly to Washington State Emergency Management Division. Situation Emergency/Disaster Hazards and Conditions The Basic Plan portion of this plan identifies the natural and technological emergencies or disasters the City of Renton may experience that require full support of their communication systems. The city's communications 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. Planning Assumptions  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.  Communication systems are vulnerable, and depending on the nature of the disaster and the extent of damage, repairs to these systems may take months.  The 800 MHz radio system may be overwhelmed and unable to handle all public safety and emergency responder radio transmissions.  The City of Renton does not have a single warning system to alert the populati on of an emergency or disaster, but would likely need to use multiple systems and approaches.  The nature of the incident may not allow the time to provide for warning.  Emergency information or warning relayed to the media is publicized at the discretion of the broadcasters.  The activation of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) can be requested by the City of Renton, but the city is not an EAS warning point and does not control the use of that warning resource.  Following an emergency or disaster, people within Renton will expect to be informed of the actions the City of Renton is taking to protect life and property loss.  Reverse dial telephone notification systems databases will not include all telephone numbers of affected individuals.  Communication systems may not have sufficient capacity to handle the traffic generated by emergency conditions. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 49  The city may be forced to rely on alternate communication systems when normal communication systems are overwhelmed or inadequate.  Not all warning and emergency notification messages will reach the intended audiences due to disruptions in communication systems.  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.  Technological limitations may prevent communication with the general public, including those with limited English proficiency and those with access or functio nal needs. Concept of Operations General It is essential for the City of Renton to have reliable communications for day to day operations, warning capabilities, response and recovery efforts, and coordination with other organizations. The Incident Command System organization responding to the disaster or emergency will establish a communications plan for the field units and other organizations responsible for response and recovery efforts. The City of Renton Emergency Operations Center (EOC) may assist Incident Command in communications coordination. Additional communication resources may be requested by the city through the King County Office of Emergency Management/Regional Communications and Emergency Coordination Center or to Washington State Emergency Management Division directly. Methods of warning the public include:  Radio and television broadcasts including City of Renton Cable Channel. Commercial broadcasts are at the discretion of the media broadcaster.  City of Renton Critical Emergency Information web page on therentonwa.gov web site, including e-alerts that send a text message to indicate updates to that page.  A reverse dialing system based on the E-911 landline database, which includes TDD/TTY capability as well as text messaging options, and allows individuals to opt-in their cell phone numbers.  National Oceanic Atmospheric Association (NOAA) Weather Radio (announces weather forecasts only). Weather warnings, watches and advisories are issued by the National Weather Service over the NOAA Weather Radio and other avenues.  EAS (Emergency Alert System) Relay Network (Public Safety radio and the broadcast industry) (See Appendix 1 Emergency Alert System)  In some situations, door to door notification. Additional communication resources for the City of Renton include:  Regular telephones  Cellular telephones  Pagers  Facsimiles AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 50  Satellite telephones  800 MHz radio system  VHF radio  City of Renton e-mail (in-house notification system only)  CEMNET (Comprehensive Emergency Management Network) - Two way VHF radio system for contact with the State EOC at Camp Murray.  Renton Emergency Communication Service (RECS) amateur radio volunteer group which is registered as both a RACES (Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Services) and ARES (Amateur Radio Emergency Services) group - Two-way communication via voice, limited continuous wave/Morse code, limited radio teletype, and packet using amateur radio frequencies.  NAWAS (National Warning System) - Federal landline warning system connecting the state warning network. The primary "drop" is located in King County Dispatch.  Valley Communication Center – regional 9-1-1 public safety dispatch center.  Use of message runners or couriers to convey written or verbal messages between locations if all communications are disrupted.  Use of social media sites such as Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Periscope and NextDoor.  Neighborhood Information Centers – publicized locations where written messages can be posted for the public when electronic and media communications are unavailable.  Use of universal symbols to convey messages without words.  Leveraging community-based social networks, which may include word of mouth, email, social media, and other means of informal information sharing by the public.  Utilizing interpreters/translators to provide messaging that can be understood by significant segments of the population with limited English proficiency. Organization The responsibility for development, coordination and maintenance of communication systems for day to day operations rests with individual departments. Technical expertise and support for these systems may be provided by the City of Renton’s Administrative Services Department (telephone and electronic) or the Public Works Department (radio) depending on the mode of communication. Procedures  Incident Command procedures are dictated by the National Incident Management System.  Procedures detailing responsibility for and operation of emergency communications equipment are located in the City of Renton EOC procedures, maintained separa tely.  Procedures detailing the activation of warning systems are found in the City of Renton EOC Duty Officer Manual, maintained separately.

Policies It is the policy of the City of Renton to provide public works response services to lands and facilities under city jurisdiction. Response to private property problems shall be performed only when a city facility, such as a utility is causing the problem or when life or public health is threatened. The City of Renton Public Works Department may assist in the evaluation of unsafe conditions on private property giving recommendations for repair or restoration. The City of Renton Community and Economic Development Department may provide a structural engineer to assess conditions on private property if there is an immediate threat to life. Situation Emergency/Disaster Hazards and Conditions The City of Renton Hazard Mitigation Plan identifies the natural and technological emergencies or disasters the City of Renton may experience that could overwhelm the City of Renton Public Works Department. An emergency or disaster could damage or destroy structures, streets, signals, or water, storm drainage and sewer utility systems. Public Works personnel may also be affected by the event and unable to work or obtain the necessary equipment to perform their standard operating procedures. 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 and recovery from the event. Planning Assumptions  Damage assessment teams will need to be formed to establish re sponse routes and potential work responsibilities.  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 giv en to those areas most critical.  City of Renton engineering and construction personnel and equipment may be overwhelmed requiring 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. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 60  Previously inspected structures and city utility systems will 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 The City of Renton Public Works Department will coordinate engineering and construction activities, communicating with support agencies such as city departments, the City of Renton Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and the Washington State Department of Transportation as necessary to determine potential tasks.

To control the dispatching of such equipment and manpower to locations where needed, and provide for effective operations at the scene during an emergency or disaster. Scope Firefighting involves the organization and management of fire scene activities. 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 Regional Fire Authority, are detailed in other ESFs. Policies  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.  All Activates within ESF #4 will be conducted in accordance with the National Incident Management System/Incident Command System (NIMS)) and the National Response Framework (NRF) and will utilize the Incident Command System (ICS). AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 68  Priority shall be given to life safety, property conservation, and Environmental/Economic considerations, in that order.  In the event the Renton Regional Fire Authority 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 Resources Mobilization Plan (RCW 38.54.030).  The City of Renton Emergency Operations Center (EOC), if activated, will be informed when resources are reasonably expected to be exhausted. The City of 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.  The County Critical Incident Stress Management Team through the Department Chaplain will provide closed forum debriefings, and personal or interpersonal support for fire personnel and their families when requested.  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. Other E 9-1-1 dispatch centers will support Valley Communications Center upon request.  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 suppressions organizations is accomplished through the state forester, in cooperation with the state fire marshal, Washington State Emergency Management Division, 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 Interagenc y Fire Center (NIFC) in Boise, ID. This is coordinated among the Washington State Fire Marshal or WEMD and the Joint Field Office (JFO). Situation Emergency/Disaster Hazards and Conditions Under ideal conditions, the management of large firefighting operations is complex and involves an immense staff, several different agencies and jurisdictions. 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. A significant natural or technological event may result in many fire emergencies throughout the City of Renton. Ignition sources could cause hundreds of fires during and after an earthquake. The damage potential from fires in urban areas during and after a major earthquake is extreme. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 69 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. Planning Assumptions  Urban and rural fires may result from, or occur coincidentally with, an earthquake or as the result of another significant event.  All forms of communications may be disrupted, particularly landline forms such as telephone. Cellular phones and 800 MHz radio systems also rely on land based towers and repeaters, which may be damaged. Heavy traffic from the attempted use of these systems, and even fully functional systems, may be overwhelmed, and therefore should not be relied upon. Backup communications such as VHF, alternate 800 MHz frequencies (site trunking operations), mobile data computers, and amateur radio may be needed. Valley Communications Center, if operable, will be inundated with calls and may be unable to effectively dispatch calls. If communications are completely down, it will be necessary for the city to manage its own resources.  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.  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.  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. Concept of Operations General Renton Regional Fire Authority (RRFA) will manage and coordinate firefighting activities within the city. Other RRFA functions may be carried out concurrently and by the same personnel during the course of firefighting. The RRFA is signatory to a countywide mutual aid agreement. The fire service also cooperates in a statewide mobilization plan. This plan is activated through a detailed request to the South Puget Sound Regional Coordinator through Valley Communications Center. RRFA is also a participant in the Zone 3 Fire Operations Chief Coordinators, for large-scale incidents. The Fire Chief or designate 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 AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 70 on-duty North 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. Communications will be through established channels. The primary mode of emergency communications would take place on the 800 MHz radio communications system. Secondary communications are outlined in RRFA Communication Guide and include Site Trucking, State Ops, VHF radios, MDC, pagers and Ham Radios.

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 post-incident response phase, ESF 5 transitions and is responsible for support and planning functions. ESF 5 activities include those functions that are critical to support and facilitate multiagency planning and coordination for 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. ESF Activation & Plan Maintenance ESF 5 may be activated independently or in conjunction with other ESFs, depending on the needs of the situation. The ESF 5 Primary Agencies will be responsible for review and revision of this annex. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 76 Policies  The Incident Command System (ICS) will be used in any size or type of disaster to manage response personnel, facilities, and equipment.  ESF 5 is responsible for coordinating the city support infrastructure in the affected area in the anticipation of requirements for preparedness, response, and recovery and in support of additional response activities.  ESF 5 is responsible for requesting, coordinating, analyzing and disseminating necessary information from city departments to support response and recovery efforts.  ESF 5 will provide guidance for each city department in making their reports, 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 ot her law- enforcement sensitive intelligence, the City of Renton Police Department will be the lead agency in information coordination to ensure proper intelligence-handling procedures are established and enforced. Situation 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, individuals, and disruption of local government. These hazards are identified in the hazard identification and vulnerable assessment (HIVA) included in the Hazard Mitigation Plan, which is a supporting document to the CEMP. Emergency/Disaster Hazards and Conditions The hazards identified in the HIVA could disrupt public services, damage property, and cause injury or death of persons within affected areas. Primary hazards 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. Planning Assumptions  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.  Early in the course of the event, little information will be available and inform ation may be vague and inaccurate.  Reporting to outside agencies will improve as the event matures. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 77 Concept of Operations General During disasters or emergencies, the need for rapid decisions and actions may require that emergency management plans and procedures supersede normal business operations. 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 Department Operation Centers. Additionally, the City of Renton EOC staff will request information from other agencies, public and private. The City of 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. 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 maint enance of situational awareness/common operating picture and distribution of this information as it changes throughout the event. City of Renton department representatives in the City of Renton EOC will develop reporting procedures with their field representatives and/or DOCs to facilitate information flow between the field and the EOC.

Scope The needs of emergency workers and the general population are often the same during times of disaster. An emergency worker care program will be established by the Renton Community Services Department 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. Pet and animal shelters will be guided by the Renton Police Department because people may not leave hazardous areas without their pets; pet shelters will be established as needed. The Community Services Department will work with people who have pets but that cannot be housed in the shelter by arranging housing vouchers with hotels and apartments that allow pets. As part of the National Response Framework, the American Red Cross, largely through the utilization of volunteers, plans and prepares to support local jurisdictions in regional mass care needs. The City of Renton Community Services Department will work with the American Red Cross, in addition to local partners organized through the Renton Community Organizations Active in Disaster (COAD), in an effort to facilitate delivery of the following mass care services established by the American Red Cross and their volunteers but the Community Services Department will retain primary responsibility for the following functions: AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 83 Shelter The provision for emergency shelter includes the use of designated shelter sites in existing structures, creation of temporary facilities such as tent cities, or the temporary construction of 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. 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. 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. This will also help in the reunification of family members within the area who were separated at the time of the event. 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 AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 84 Domestic animal shelters will be established at location(s) determined by the Renton Police Department depending on the location and scope of the event. . Livestock and non-domestic pet needs will be coordinated with King County and the Washington State Animal Response Team (WASART). 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 through ESF 14. Policies  The City of Renton will maintain a directory of shelters identified by the American Red Cross or designated by the City for shelter use.  In coordination with the Damage Assessment Annex, shelter facilities will receive priority consideration for structural inspections to ensure the safety of occupants.  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. The City of Renton will maintain a list of shelter supply locations within the City of Renton, and will follow agreement terms in applicable MOUs to access and use these supplies.  In accordance with the National Response Framework, mass care activities will include persons with access and functional needs include persons with additional needs before, during, and after an incident in functional areas, including but not limited to: maintaining independence, communication, transportation, supervision, medical care. 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 or are non -English speaking; or who are transportation disadvantaged.  The city shall include persons with access and functional needs as described about in ESF 6 planning and testing.  The city recognizes the special needs of children, particularly as they related to issues of safety and welfare in the shelter setting and the need for swift reunif ication with families.  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, have a reliable caretaker(s), or with some assistance from volunteers, to assist with personal and/or medical care.  Shelters shall accommodate service animals that accompany persons with access or functional needs.  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. Persons with access or functional needs shall receive the same standard of care and services as accorded to all others, regardless of the venue in which they are sheltered. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 85  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.  Persons requiring acute or skilled medical care cannot be accommodated in a general population shelter and shall be sheltered under ESF 8 in a medical shelter. Situation Emergency/Disaster Hazards and Conditions Depending on the emergency or disaster, a significant percentage of the population of Renton could be displaced from their homes. 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. Although homes may be undamaged, the abse nce of utilities could also drive people from their homes to seek shelter. Disruption of roads may make it difficult for displaced residents to reach shelter services. Planning Assumptions  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, communications systems, etc., could hamper emergency response efforts. 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.  Emergency facilities could be severely damaged or inaccessible.  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 numerous dead and injured.  Thousands of family members may be separated immediately following a sudden- impact event, such as children at school and parents at work. There may be transients, tourists, etc., also involved.  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.  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 and police stations looking for guidance. However, fire and police stations will not be viable locations for public shelter.  The magnitude of the event will determine the need for large, long-term shelters.  The restoration of communication systems, disrupted by damages and overloads, may take weeks. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 86  Large numbers of spontaneous volunteers will require a planned staging area, registration and operational procedures.  Large numbers of impacted persons with pets will not go to sh elters if pets are not accepted. Concept of Operations General  The City of Renton Community Services Department has been designated the primary agency responsible for managing the activities of ESF 6. Resources from the private sector will also be applied to the response and recovery effort. The Community Services Department will provide an Emergency Shelter Operations Manual for the designated sites. The City will attempt to provide emergency shelter training for staff and volunteers through coordination with the American Red Cross.  The City of Renton will coordinate with the American Red Cross through the City of Renton EOC. The capability of the American Red Cross to provide representation to the EOC is not assumed. If American Red Cross liaison staff cannot support the City of Renton EOC, communications will be established through the King County Regional Communications Center and Emergency Coordination Center (KCRCECC) or Washington State Emergency Operations Center (EOC).  The City of Renton has numerous Community Services parks, open spaces, and ball fields that may accommodate recreational vehicles, tents, etc., in the event of an emergency or disaster.  The City of Renton Police Department with coordinate with Regional Animal Service of King County and WASART agencies to accommodate pet and animal shelters in the event of an emergency or disaster.  The City of Renton Community Services has established a Memorandu m of Understanding (MOU) with Catholic Community Services and Harambee Church, respectively, to provide cold weather shelters Organization The City of Renton Community Services Department will manage the mass care needs of emergency workers with the support of the American Red Cross and other agencies. The American Red Cross, as capabilities allow with their personnel, network of volunteers and like agencies, will support the Renton Community Services Department in delivering and managing the mass care services as described in this ESF, although their shelter operations support will be limited to the general population. Types of Shelters include but are not limited to:  General Population Shelters/Dormitory  Warming/Cooling, Day Sheltering  Disaster Meal Sites  Special Populations Shelters AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 87  Pet Shelters  Livestock Shelters  Medical Needs Shelters  Mass Care Staff Shelters  Emergency Responder Shelters Procedures City of Renton Community Services Department standard operating procedures provide guidance on implementation of this ESF and maintenance of a working relationship with the American Red Cross. The American Red Cross procedures will govern operation of shelters set up by the American Red Cross, as well as utilization of American Red Cross volunteers.

Support Agencies American Red Cross 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 AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 89 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 provide mental health assessments, crisis intervention and a sympathetic ear to those in need.  Provides preliminary and detailed damage assessments of the affected area to determine the number of dwellings and public shelters damaged and the extent of damage.  Coordinates, within its agreements, the provision of relief efforts by any volunteer organizations actively engaged in providing relief assistance to disaster survivors.  Coordinates its relief activity with participating and support agencies and affected areas through liaisons to the state, county, and local jurisdiction EOCs.  Makes recommendations to the City of Renton EOC for the establishment of mass care priorities.

Scope 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/divisions during the response and recovery phases of an emergency or disaster. Resource support may continue until the demobilization/disposition of all resources is complete . Policies  All activities within ESF 7 will be conducted in accordance with the National Incident Management System.  It is the policy of the City of Renton that departments/divisions 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.  In a single incident response, emergency resource requests may be handled through the field Incident Command organization, but may be delegated to the City of Renton Emergency Operations Center (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 AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 94 entire emergency, emergency resource requests will be coordinated through the City of Renton EOC.  In accordance with Chapter 38.52 RCW, RCW 35A.33.120, and Renton Municipal Code, the City of Renton has emergency powers that include purchasing and resource procurement necessary to respond to disasters. RCW 35A.33.080 authorizes the City Council to approve expenditures without public notice or hearing. Under the policy direction of the Mayor, the Logistics and Finance Sections of the City of Renton EOC are responsible for city emergency procurements. The Logistics Section of the City of Renton EOC has the responsibility for locating and ordering resources. The City of Renton EOC Finance Section will offer support, documentation and handle actual purchase arrangements in the process. This information will be coordinated with the City of Renton Administrative Services Department of the city in order to maintain required documentation.  Supporting departments support ESF 7 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. Volunteers may be used to staff the ESF 7 function at the EOC. Volunteers will be registered as Emergency Workers per WAC 118.04.  The Regional Disaster Framework for Public and Private Organizations in King County, Washington to which the City of Renton is a signatory, provides a financial agreement between signatory partners when mutual aid resources are requested. This fin ancial 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 when local city resources are insufficient to meet the demands of the incident. Situation Emergency/Disaster Hazards and Conditions 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. Certain disasters may significantly impact transportation infrastructure and/or vendor operations and may inhibit the availability and flow of resources into and within the city. Refer to the Renton Hazard Identification and Vulnerability Analysis within the King County Hazard Mitigation Plan for details on hazards as well as the Basic Plan portion of City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan. Planning Assumptions  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. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 95 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 replacement or supplementation will likely need to come from outside sources.  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, which will coordinate a request to the state. However, cities in Washington can make requests directly to the state. Concept of Operations General  City departments/divisions will first utilize normal procedures for their day to day or mutual aid resources before requesting outside assistance. The City of Renton Administrative Services Department may assist departments by providing procedural guidance for emergency resource procurement. The Policy Advisory Group, in consultation with the City of Renton Administrative Services Department, 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 Administrative Services Department which maintains all procurement documentation for the incident.  The City of Renton EOC procedures identify the process for the emergency procurement of resources. The Logistics Section of the EOC is responsible for the locating and ordering of emergency resources. The Finance Section may offer support and will document the resource procurement process and handle the actual purchasing/payment for the transaction.  Department and EOC resource lists and directories in the 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.  The Greater Renton Community Organizations Active in Disaster (COAD) will be used to identify organizations which may be able to provide additional resources for the response/recovery effort. Organization AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 96  This ESF will be coordinated by the Logistics Section Chief when the City of Renton EOC is activated. If the City of Renton EOC is not activated, the Emergency Management Director will perform or delegate this coordination.  The Policy Advisory Group, in concert with the City of Renton Administrative Services Department will establish limits and guidance on resource procurement parameters if needed.  The Logistics Section is responsible for coordination of City of Renton EOC emergency or disaster resource requests and procurement. The Finance Section is responsible for the contracts and documentation of resources procured through the City of Renton EOC as well as spending limits and payment options.  Individual departments/divisions will determine quantities and use of equipment, personnel and supplies based on need.

Scope This ESF will identify and meet the health and medical needs of individuals and communities impacted by an emergency or disaster through coordination with Public Health Seattle & King County and the City of Renton. ESF Activation & Plan Maintenance ESF 8 may be activated independently or in conjunction with other ESF’s, depending on the needs of the situation. Policies The City of Renton and Renton Regional Fire Authority will use mutual aid agreements when the city’s resources are depleted or committed. The Incident Command System (ICS) should be used in any size or type of disaster to manage response personnel, facilities, and equipment. It is the policy of the Renton Regional Fire Authority to operate under the King County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan, Emergency Support Function 8 (ESF) for disaster related health and medical services. Emergency Medical Technicians or other responders who provide emergency medical assistance in the City of Renton shall operate under King County's procedures and protocols. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 105 A Mass Casualty Incident (MCI) may be declared to allow Emergency Medical Services personnel to follow the established written emergency protocols as referenced in the Seattle - King County Mass Casualty Incident (MCI) Plan. Situation and Assumptions Situation Emergencies or disasters may occur in a local jurisdiction at any time causing significant human suffering, injury and death, public and private property damage, environment degradation, economic hardship to business, families, individuals, and disruption of local government.  A significant natural disaster or technological event that overwhelms the City of Renton would demand county, state, and federal public medical care assistance.  Hospitals, nursing homes, pharmacies and other medical/health care facilities may b e structurally damaged or destroyed. Those facilities that survive with little or no structural damage may be rendered unusable or only partially usable because of damage to utilities (power, water, sewer), or the inability of staff to report for duty.  Medical and health care facilities which remain in operation and have the necessary utilities and staff may be overwhelmed by the "walking wounded" and seriously injured patients who are transported there in the immediate aftermath of an emergency/disaster occurrence.  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 s ystems could prevent timely resupply.  Uninjured persons who require daily medications such as insulin, antihypertensive drugs, and digitalis may have difficulty in obtaining these medications because of damage or destruction of normal supply locations and general shortages within the disaster area.  Damage to transportation systems may delay medical transports and outside assistance from other agencies.  Damages to drinking and wastewater systems may complicate health care and possibly add to the victim or patient totals.  Hazardous Materials incidents will present unique problems to patient care as the patients themselves may become contaminated and considered hazardous. Assumptions  Resources within the affected area will be inadequate to clear 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 faci lity. Medical resupply will be needed throughout the event area. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 106  Damage to chemical and industrial plants, sewer lines and water distribution systems, along with secondary hazards such as fires, will result in toxic environmental and public health hazards to the surviving population and response personnel.  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.  Disruption of sanitation services and facilities, loss of power, and massing of people to shelters may increase the potential for disease and injury.  Public health emergencies may require implementation of public health measures to contain and control communicable diseases or spread of environmental hazards.  It is likely that public demand for health information and health and medical services will increase during disasters.  The use of gymnasiums and community centers as temporary medical shelters, 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.  Members of our community 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.  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. Concept of Operations General The local agencies and organizations located in the EOC should work to meet the information requirements of the EOC staff. Notifications  The City will establish the overall health and medical response and recovery objectives.  Coordination of incident information with ESF-8 agencies.  Identification and coordination of medical resources.  Management of the acquisition and use of medical resources.  Activation of the health and medical Joint Information System (JIS) as 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.  Coordination of health and medical information.  Investigation into the cause and manner of death resulting from an emergency or disaster.  Overseeing regional health and medical surge capacity measures associated with added capacity or mobilization of volunteer personnel.

AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 123 Scope To provide guidance for off-site emergency planning and notification to minimize exposure and/or damage to human health and safety or to th e environment as required by Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Acts of 1986 (SARA), and known as the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA). Policies OSHA regulation 29CFR 1910.120 (q), Washington Administrative Code 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 Material Response Team. The guidelines established in the Renton Regional Fire Authority and Zone 3 Hazardous Materials Providers Standard Operating Procedures shall be followed in responding to a hazardous material incident. The King County Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) plans for hazardous material emergencies by collecting information from public and private organization 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 t o 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. Washing Administrative Code 118-40 covers hazardous chemical emergency response planning and community Right-To-Know reporting Situation Emergency/Disaster Hazards and Conditions Hazardous materials may be released during a naturally occurring event like earthquakes or during an industrial accident, terrorism or illegal activity. The City of Renton has a high volume of hazardous materials used, manufactured, stored and transported, which increases the likelihood of a significant release. Illegal drug labs and dumping create yet another concern. The coordination of emergency response operations of 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. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 124 SARA/EPCRA facilities are required to maintain plans for warning, notification, evacuation and site security under numerous regulations. Copies are filed with the Renton Regional Fire Authority. Planning Assumptions  A hazardous material incident may develop slowly or occur without warning.  Actual or threatened releases of hazardous materials often require immediate response.  Most hazardous material incidents are minor in scope and can be handled by trained facility personnel and/or the Renton Regional Fire Authority 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.  The number and severity of major incidents can be minimized by prevention programs. Concept of Operations General The Renton Regional Fire Authority has the primary responsibility for protecting life, the environment and property threatened by hazardou s materials incidents, except where this has been specifically preempted by state or federal laws or regulations. Hazardous materials response is organized under the National Incident Management System. The agency with primary authority is dependent on the location of the event. The Renton Regional Fire Authority is the Incident Command Agency for the City of Renton under Chapter 70.136RCW. 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. Organization Response is organized under the National Incident Management System. The City of Renton Director of Emergency Management has been designated the Community Emergency Coordinator as required under SARA / EPCRA for the city. The response and recovery efforts will be coordinated through the on-scene Incident Commander or the City of Renton EOC, if activated. 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. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 125 Mitigation Activities The international Fire and building Codes, United States EPA regulations, Washington State Department of Ecology Codes and Puget Sound Air Pollution Control have regulations and codes relating to the safe storage, use, handling and disposal methods of h azardous materials, Inspections by fire and building personnel also contribute to the overall safety of works, the public and environment.

Scope ESF-11 provides for 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 the protection of natural, cultural and historic properties within this jurisdiction. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 131 ESF-11 may be activated independently or in conjunction with other ESFs, depending on the situation. It may closely support ESF-6: Mass Care, Emergency Assistance, Housing and Human Services, ESF-14: Renton Disaster Recovery Plan and will utilize procedures under ESF-7: Logistics Management and Resource Support. A goal of the City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Managemen t Plan is to help develop city, business, and resident self‐sufficiency for a minimum of 72 hours after a disaster. Policies Food and Water  Public information regarding food and water storage, contamination/decontamination and emergency distribution points should be disseminated per ESF-15: Public Information.  City of Renton Emergency Operations Center (EOC) will work closely with local volunteer and non-profit agencies to determine the emergency food and water needs of the affected population.  EOC 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.  Food safety actions will be guided and coordinated by State and County food safety officials, emergency preparedness and response officials, Homeland Security officials and internal policies and procedures of Washington State Departments of Agriculture and Health, such as Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 246-125: Department of Health Food Service.  Emergency food stocks will be purchased or procured under the provisions of Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 38.52.070: Local Organization and Joint Local Organizations Authorized – Establishment, Operation – Emergency Powers, Procedures.  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 Plants  Renton Police Animal Sheltering Emergency Operations Plan will guide the City’s response to domestic animal care following a major emergency or disaster.  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.  While Incident Command will assist with animal issues, the priority will remain the health and safety of residents.  WAC 16: Department of Agriculture guides agricultural protocols and responses related to animal and crop diseases and pests. Natural, Cultural, and Historic (NCH) Resources AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 132  Actions initiated under ESF-11 to protect, preserve, conserve, rehabilitate, recover, and restore NCH resources will be guided by the existing internal policies and procedures of the agencies providing support for the incident.  King County EOC will 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.  Structures registered in national historical registries, or those structures eligible for inclusion in those registries, may be subject to special considerations.  RCW 27.53: Archaeological Sites and Resources establishes penalties for disturbing known archeological sites on either public or private land without a permit from Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation.  RCW 27.44: Indian Graves and Records describes procedures for responding to discoveries of human skeletal remain and establishes penalties for known disturbance of Native Indian cairns, graves and rock markings. Situation and Assumptions Situation  A significant emergency or disaster will deprive substantial numbers of people of the ability to prepare or gain access to food and water.  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.  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 geo spatial data; geology; hydrology, including real-time water flow data; data on earthquakes and other natural hazards; on- and offshore minerals; energy; and coal mining.  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. Assumptions  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.  During the first 72 hours of an emergency, shelters and individuals are expected to re ly on their own resources, and those available in their immediate area, for food and water. Food and Water AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 133  A wide variety of outside agencies have the ability to provide mass care services, including coordination support. The City will work with all of these organizations in providing for the needs of the community.  A significant emergency may deprive substantial numbers of local residents from 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.  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.  Seattle & King County Public Health will provide guidance to the City and to individuals to ensure the safety of food and water made available to the public. Animals and Plants  Any displacement or evacuation of people from their homes may cause household pets and livestock to be placed at risk for food, shelter, and care.  Owners will be expected to provide food, water, husbandry, and exercise for their pets during the times they are in emergency shelters.  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), takes the lead in managing animal and/or plant health emergencies. 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. Concept of Operations  It is the policy of the City of Renton to 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 City of Renton in the event of a natural or technological 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 cooperation of the National Incident Management AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 134 System (NIMS) to assure a comprehensive approach to emergency management is achieved. Food and Water  The Renton EOC will coordinate with regional public messaging to provide emergency information and instructions to the public, through the media, of locations and hours of operation of any facility feeding victims and/or emergency workers. The public will also be advised when any feeding facility ceases operation.  Requests for food and water should be made to local sources before requesting outside help from mutual aid partners.  King County Office of Emergency Management will coordinate information on food supplies, monitor the situation and identify any potential shortfalls that exist or might occur.  Management and procurement of food and water in the City for disaster victims and workers will be coordinated by the Logistics Section in the Renton EOC, with the assistance of the Finance/Administration Department. They will coordinate with county, state and federal resources as appropriate.  In the event potable water distribution is necessary, the King County DEM will work with other agencies, such as local fire services, and Seattle & King County Public Health Department, Washington State Emergency Management Division/EOC or National Guard to provide emergency water supplies.  Seattle & King County Public Health Department will provide inspections, testing, public education, and other actions necessary to insure the safety and sanitation of food and water supplies, for as long as those services continue to provide food and water to the general public.  Various non-profit organizations will provide disaster victims with food, water, clothing, shelter, first aid and other immediate needs following a disaster. These efforts must be coordinated with the EOC during an event to ensure resources are allocated in the most beneficial way. These organizations will be encouraged to join the Community Organizations Active in Disaster (COAD) group in order to maintain regular contact with the Emergency Management Division. Animals and Plants  The Renton Police Department 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/disease is confirmed on a premise, the state veterinarian, WA Department of Agriculture 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.

The City of Renton includes commercial and public utilities in their coordination of damage assessments, operational capabilities, and restoration actions. Scope 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.  Assessments are current energy/utility capabilities, capacities, and reserves within the City of Renton  ESF-12 collects, evaluates, and shares information on energy/utility system damages and estimates on the impact of energy/utility system outages within the affected areas.  ESF-12 also provides information concerning the energy/utility restoration process such as projected schedules, percent of completion of restoration, geographic information on the restoration and other information as appropriate.  ESF-12 facilitates the restoration of energy systems through legal authorities and waivers.  ESF-12 also provides technical expertise to the utilities, conducts field assessments, and assists government and private-sector stakeholders to overcome challenges in restoring the energy system. Policies The City of Renton Executive Department will establish a liaison relationship with public or private utility providers to coordinate disaster and emergency 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 relationship will be established with the representative within the King County Regional Communications and Emergency Coordination Center, or directly with the on -call person for that agency. Situation Hazards Analysis AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 138 Power outages or petroleum supply interruptions may be triggered by a variety of hazards including windstorms, winter storms, earthquakes, and severe flooding. Planning Assumptions  The occurrence of a major disaster could destroy or damage portions of the city's e nergy 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 will be affected.  Delays in the production, refining, and delivery of petroleum-based products occur as a result of transportation infrastructure problems and loss of commercial electrical power. Concept of Operations Responding to energy or petroleum shortages or disruptions and their effects is ne cessary for preservation of the public health, safety and general welfare of the City of Renton's residents. Activities during an energy emergency could include:  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. Organization  The electric power industry within the state is organized into a network of public a nd private generation and transmission facilities, which form a part of the Northwest Power Pool. Through such networks, the electric power industry has developed a capability to transmit electric power under even the most extreme conditions. Power is then distributed by local utilities to individual end users, which have varying levels of distribution reliability. Many end users with high reliability needs (e.g., hospitals, and media) have their own in-house generation sources.  Major natural gas companies through common pipelines originating in other states distribute natural gas within Washington State. Procedures  Power to city facilities will be assessed by and measures taken by the City of Renton Community Services Department to provide emergency power. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 139  Contact with utility providers may be established by the City of Renton EOC to coordinate resources, establish priorities, assess and document damages and provide information to the public. The City of Renton EOC may initiate information programs to keep the public informed of utility status and any restrictions.  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.  Requests for assistance are primarily made by utility providers through existing mutual aid agreements with other providers.

Scope The intent of this Emergency Support Function (ESF) is to outline the law enforcement procedures required to effectively respond to a citywide emergency or disaster. ESF Activation & Plan Maintenance This ESF may be activated independently or in conjunction with other ESF’s, dependin g on the needs of the situation Policies The City of Renton Police Department will, within the limits of its resources and a uthority, coordinate and support essential law enforcement operations. Coordination between the City of Renton Police Department and other law enforcement agencies is facilitated by the Washington Mutual Aid Peace Officers Powers Act (Chapter 10.93 RCW). City of Renton Police Department personnel sent to assist other jurisdictions will maintain their own supervision and chain of command. Situation and Assumptions Situation Any disaster may generate a need for law enforcement activity. The primary hazards are detailed in the City of Renton 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. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 144 Assumptions  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.  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 the City of Renton Police Department to dispatch their own calls.  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.  Mutual Aid agencies and other resources normally available to support police operations may be unavailable as a result of the incident. Concept of Operations In times of an emergency or disaster, law enforcement agencies are called upon to provide a wide range of functions. These include, but are not limited to, warning and evacuation, search and rescue, emergency medical services, communications, access control, and enforcement of emergency traffic regulations. Assistance between law enforcement agencies within the state is facilitated by the signatory agencies to the Mutual Law Enforcement Assistance Agreement. When the City of Renton Police Department resources are exhausted, supplemental assistance may be requested through the Renton Emergency Operations Center. Law enforcement units provided by other levels of government will remain under the command of their parent agency. The City of Renton Police Department will coordinate citywide emergency or disaster law enforcement activities. Notifications City of Renton law enforcement response will be in accordance with the operational procedures of the City of Renton Police Department and the City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan. A Division Commander or designee of the City of Renton Police Department will report to the City of Renton Emergency Management Duty Officer or EOC, if activated, to coordinate law enforcement notifications and activities with other response functions.

This section, Section 1.0 Introduction, provides the purpose, scope, and overarching guidance that should lead recovery efforts. This section also provides a reference guide to link th e Renton Recovery Framework with relevant legal authorities and City, county, state, and federal plans. Section 2.0 Governance and Coordination, describes the basic organizational structure, public responsibilities, and central activities of disaster recovery. This section demonstrates how everyone in the City of Renton has a role to play. Section 3.0 Recovery Support Functions, details post-disaster Goals and Strategies in six separate Recovery Support Functions (RSFs) incorporated from the NDRF. In adopting this framework, Renton’s recovery effort will better interface with county, state, and federal entities if necessary. Section 4.0 Appendices, provides definitions and acronyms, a list of relevant federal, state, and local resources for disaster planning and a detailed list of recovery responsibilities, organized by city division, and linked to the appropriate section of the Recovery Framework. Information on stakeholder interviews held in drafting the Framework are also included in this section. Connection to 2012 Disaster Recovery Plan The City of Renton completed a Disaster Recovery Plan in 2012. This current document is an update of the 2012 Plan and a restructure of the content to align with the National Disaster Recovery Framework (NDRF) and its Recovery Support Functions (RSF). In addition to the NDRF, this update is guided by the Comprehensive Preparedness Guidance (CPG) 101 and 201 published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Exhibit 1 shows the reorganization of information from the 2012 Plan to the 2016 Framework and Exhibit 2 summarizes which RSFs were fully updated in the 2016 revision. Other RSFs will be similarly updated in future revisions of the Framework.

Several City departments will have responsibilities that cross multiple functions, while some recovery functions will apply to most or all departments. By participating in the planning process that produced this Disaster Recovery Framework, each department with responsibility for one or more recovery functions will be able to develop AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 154 and/or update its programs and procedures for disaster recovery and provide the appropriate level of training to City staff. Purpose It is the purpose of the City of Renton Disaster Recovery Framework to define the actions to be taken and the roles and responsibilities of local government, nongovernmental, and voluntary organizations, and other agencies in Renton to recover from an emergency or disaster. The City is undertaking advance planning to accelerate the pace and improve the effectiveness of coordinated post-disaster recovery by outlining the efforts each City department will be directed to implement, often in partnership with other regional jurisdictions and agencies. Recovery encompasses both short-term and long-term efforts for the rebuilding and revitalization of affected communities. Planning for recovery facilitates a near -seamless transition from response activities to short-term recovery operations, including restoration of interrupted utility services, reestablishment of transportation routes, and the provision of food and shelter to displaced persons. It provides for a coordinated approach to long-term economic recovery and community rebuilding, increasing the likelihood of a more sustainable and disaster resilient community post-recovery. Scope This Disaster Recovery Framework addresses incidents of local, regional, state, and national significance, including, but not limited to, presidentially declared disasters in King County, Washington State, in which the City of Renton is located. The Recovery Framework applies to all City of Renton departments and provides an operational framework to guide coordinated recovery efforts. It recognizes that an effective disaster recovery strategy engages other public, private, and nonprofit partners as well as the public at large. The Framework supports and integrates State and Federal plans that aid in recovery operations. Recovery Context The following section describes the recovery process and its relationship with other emergency management phases. General Planning Assumptions The following points describe the underlying assumptions that guide this Recovery Framework. Catastrophic Disaster Realities  The Puget Sound Region is vulnerable to natural and man-made hazards, including acts of terrorism, which can result in significant injury and loss of life and cause widespread catastrophic damage to the built environment.  Large-scale emergencies are likely to deplete local and regional recovery resources. Assistance from other cities and regions, from the State of Washington, and from the Federal Government will be requested as needed. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 155  Critical infrastructure and transportation lifelines are likely to incur significant damage in a large-scale disaster event. Repair, restoration, and/or reconstruction may take days, weeks, or even years to complete.  The private sector will often bear the brunt of a major disaster event, and will be a key partner in recovery efforts.  Small businesses are particularly vulnerable after a disaster; major disasters often result in the closure of half of all impacted small businesses. Recovery Challenges and Opportunities  Non-governmental organizations will provide direct services and programs that are crucial to recovery efforts.  Survivors with access or functional needs (such as those in wheelchairs, deaf or hard-of- hearing, etc.) and lower income disaster survivors present specialized challenges in recovery efforts.  The local public and, in major events, people from all over the nation and world will seek opportunities to donate or volunteer to assist with recovery efforts. Recovery Sequencing  Recovery begins almost as soon as a disaster event occurs, often concurrent with emergency response. For the purposes of this Disaster Recovery Framework it is assumed that immediate threats to life and property have been addressed and that the operational focus has shifted to short-term recovery activities such as meeting basic human needs and restoring essential services and critical infrastructure. Response actions outlined in the Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) take precedence as long as threats remain to life and property.  Initial short-term recovery activities are organized and directed at the Renton Emergency Operations Center (EOC), but longer-term recovery programs will transition to normal, non-emergency lines of authority. The transition will occur over a period of time as various elements of the community recover in phases.  City departments will develop procedures and provide appropriate training to staff with designated roles and responsibilities in this Disaster Recovery Framework.  Events of regional, statewide, or national significance may require cross-jurisdictional cooperation in recovery efforts such as sheltering and temporary housing, debris management, infrastructure restoration, etc.  Repair, restoration, and/or reconstruction of public infrastructure and the resumption of essential services may take days, weeks, or even years to complete. Recovery Continuum Recovery begins almost immediately after a disaster event occurs. Often recovery activities are happening concurrently with response activities and there may be no clear delineation between the two. The period in which immediate life safety situations have been addressed but during which the priorities are to meet basic human and societal needs and to restore critical infrastructure and essential services is called short-term recovery. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 156 Once basic needs are satisfied and critical systems are stabilized and/or functional, the period of long-term recovery begins and can last months or even years. It is during this period that government, nonprofit organizations, the private sector, and residents work together to rebuild the community, make permanent repairs to housing and infrastructure, and promote economic recovery. The goal of long-term recovery is to bring about a sense of normalcy and, where possible, to rebuild the community better than its pre-event condition, see Exhibit 3. The transition from short-term to long-term recovery is accompanied by a hand-off of responsibility for central coordination from the EOC to either another coordinating entity, such as a Recovery Management Team, or to City departments with purview over various recovery - related programs. As the transition continues, command and control will revert back to standard lines of authority for City departments. The transition may be staggered, as some elements of short-term recovery may happen more quickly than others. Foundations of Recovery in the Response Phase Major events may stretch disaster response resources and capabilities to the point that decision makers have to prioritize some operational actions over others. Often these decisions and priorities impact more than just immediate life saf ety and property protection issues. In fact, response actions set the tone for the pace and effectiveness of the entire disaster recovery process. The long-term effects of disaster response decisions require a consideration of recovery in the earliest hours or days following an event. Disaster Event Response •Emergency Response •Immediate Life Safety •Emergency Protective Measures Short-Term Recovery •Damage Assessment •Essential Service and Critical Service Restoration Long-Term Recovery •Economic Recovery •Permanent Repairs and Restoration •Community Rebuilding Exhibit 3. Disaster Recovery Continuum AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 157 Short-Term Recovery In most disasters short-term recovery is initially coordinated at the EOC, under the direction of the Emergency Management Director and in accordance with policies set forth by the Mayor and the Policy Group. Various Emergency Support Functions in the EOC coordinate actions designed to stabilize basic human needs among survivors and to restore critical services and infrastructure to minimal functionality. Such actions may include:  Damage assessment  Restoration of critical infrastructure and essential services  Health and social services  Environmental management Many of these actions are implemented by or in coordination with agencies external to City government. The City works closely with other public, private, and nonprofit partners to ensure an orderly and effective short-term recovery process. In large, catastrophic disasters that exceed the City’s capability to implement recovery actions, the King County Emergency Coordination Center and the Washington State Emergency Operations Center may take a lead role in coordinating regional or statewide recovery efforts. Long-Term Recovery As disaster recovery continues, short-term recovery activity transitions to a focus on longer- term recovery needs. Responsibility for coordinating recovery actions and programs shifts from the EOC to City departments and to normal lines of authority. The transition may occur in phases as infrastructure and various sectors of the community stabilize and rebuild. Citywide coordination may be enhanced at any point in the recovery by the formation of a Recovery Management Team. Long-term recovery activities may include:  Restoration of critical infrastructure and essential services  Housing, health, and social services  Economic recovery  Environmental management Department Administrators continue to work collaboratively as a part of a Recovery Management Team to facilitate unity of effort. State and Federal assistance teams may also be deployed to assist in local recovery efforts. Overarching Guidance The following points are themes from stakeholder interviews conducted in development of the Disaster Recovery Framework in July 2016. These themes apply to disaster recovery in general and support every Recovery Support Function. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 158 1. The best way to ensure a successful recovery is to organize and prepare before a disaster and to leverage full community resources, including Renton’s community-based organizations and businesses.  Regularly discuss City roles in a recovery. Agreements should be in p lace, documented, and understood for response and recovery phases.  Recovery will require more than just the City and other public agencies. Community resources need to be leveraged and Greater Renton Community Organizations Active in Disaster (COAD) is key to that.  Maintain ongoing contact with businesses. With this, relationships are in place to move through recovery and the City knows where the challenges exist in rebuilding the economy at a neighborhood and a City level.  Continue to address the availability of quality, affordable housing, as outlined in the 2014 Community Needs Assessment for Human Services and Housing, with a focus on implementable, sustainable, and resilient solutions (e.g. seismic retrofits). 2. Public involvement is critical to ensure a speedy but sustainable recovery from a disaster event.  Community consultation is important to long-term recovery. Full recovery will require the combined and coordinated resources of Renton’s entire community.  All residents should have a voice and a role in recovery of their community. 3. Take guidance from the Goals and Strategies outlined in Renton’s Comprehensive Plan and Community Plans.  Renton’s economic development policies encourage collaboration between the public and private sectors to ensure the long-term economic health of Renton and its residents. A healthy economy provides jobs and opportunities and helps pay for vital public services such as education, parks, transportation, police and fire protection, and human services. The policies encourage a mix of high-tech, creative jobs, as well as retail, service, and office land uses that will result in a diversified employment base. The policies encourage high quality development necessary to sustain a high standard of living in Renton.  Renton’s housing policies align with the Growth Management Act’s (GMA) housing goal to “Encourage the availability of affordable housing to all economic segments of the population of this state, promote a variety of residential densities and housing types, and encourage preservation of existing housing stock.” The City states that housing availability, location, and affordability directly impact a household’s ability to access jobs, schools, and services, and their housing policies aim to bolster the social and economic well-being of all of Renton’s residents. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 159 GOVERNANCE AND COORDINATION Organizational Structure The City of Renton manages disaster recovery operations in accordance with the National Incident Management System (NIMS) as outlined in the Renton CEMP. Widespread catastrophic damage may require regional collaboration with King County, Washington State, and the Federal Government. City leadership will allocate staff and other resources to regional efforts as able. The City’s roles in disaster recovery efforts are described in Exhibit 4. If a key official is unable to perform their duties as assigned, a designee may be appointed consistent with the delegations of authority as defined in each department’s continuity of operations planning. Exhibit 4. Disaster Recovery Effort Organizational Structure •The Mayor is the chief elected official that leads the executive branch of City government and coordinates overall recovery policy direction with the City Council. MAYOR •The City Council is the legislative branch of City government that establishes recovery policy and approves expenditures and contracts. CITY COUNCIL •Led by the Mayor, the Advisory Group is made up of the Chief Administrative Officer, Assistant Chief Administrative Officer, other Department Administrators, and the Communications Director. •The Advisory Group serves as an advisory body to the Mayor and Council, provides a unified approach to oversight of City departments and programs, and serves as the Recovery Management Team during at least the initial recovery phase. ADVISORY GROUP •The Recovery Management Team will include members of the Advisory Group as designated by the Mayor, and other community leaders and stakeholders. RECOVERY MANAGEMENT TEAM •The Emergency Management Director provides coordination support for recovery efforts from the Renton EOC in accordance with the Mayor’s policy direction. The Emergency Management Director coordinates recovery activities while the EOC remains activated and as directed by the Mayor throughout the recovery process. EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT DIRECTOR AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 160 The Mayor may appoint community leaders and stakeholders to the Recovery Management Team after a disaster with widespread damage and economic impacts to help guide recovery programs. City departments retain programmatic responsibility for recovery efforts under their purview. Each department is expected to: ensure that its personnel are aware of their disaster recovery roles and responsibilities; develop procedures for implementing disaster recovery programs and activities; and provide training to staff to maintain optimal capabilities for disaster recovery. Recovery Responsibilities The Renton Recovery Responsibility Tables outline the basic responsibilities of Renton City departments for disaster recovery. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) may be devel oped to provide further detail on how individual departments and divisions shall perform their responsibilities. Recovery activities may initially be coordinated in the Renton EOC or in the field in accordance with principles of the National Incident Management System (NIMS) as outlined in the CEMP. Long-term recovery operations will transition to normal departmental organization and functions over time. However, supplemental surge staffing may be required for much of the recovery process. Office of Emergency Management The Office of Emergency Management facilitates an orderly transition from response and short - term recovery activities coordinated in the EOC to long-term recovery program delivery by City departments and/or by a Recovery Management Team. Unless taken on directly by a Recovery Management Team, the Office of Emergency Management is responsible for collecting and analyzing recovery information and for distributing a weekly Recovery Status Report to City leadership, staff, and external partners. This report replaces the EOC Situation Report once the EOC is demobilized, or as determined by the Emergency Management Director should the EOC remain activated for an extended period of time into long-term recovery. Recovery Status Report It is critical for planners and decision makers to have access to timely and accurate information to guide the recovery process. While the pace of events and information inputs may decrease as the response transitions into recovery, it is no less important to maintain si tuational awareness. The quality of information and data, and the timeliness of its distribution to stakeholders and/or the public, impacts recovery in the following ways:  Accurate data is needed to prioritize recovery actions.  Awareness of damages and associated repair efforts facilitates the effective identification of mitigation opportunities. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 161  Timely and accurate information helps builds trust and credibility with the public and reduces the prevalence of rumors.  Information collected in the early stages of recovery becomes a baseline for the development of recovery program metrics. The Recovery Status Report is the primary source of information and data for all planning, operations, and external communications. If errors are found in the Recovery Status Report, these should be submitted to the Office of Emergency Management immediately. Information collection and dissemination is administered in the following manner:  Recovery information is collected and analyzed by the Office of Emergency Management throughout the period of recovery or until the information collection function is delegated by the Mayor to another department or to the Recovery Management Team.  All City departments are expected to supply a standard information package for the Recovery Status Report along with any other information requests by the submission deadline specified by the Office of Emergency Management.  All City departments should use the information and data in the Recovery Status Report for planning and operational purposes.  The Recovery Status Report is the authoritative source of up-to-date recovery data and information for all internal departmental reports and communications. Time -sensitive information is submitted to the Office of Emergency Management, which determines the most effective manner of distribution in consultation with impacted departments and the Mayor’s Office. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 162  The Recovery Status Report is the factual basis for all other information outputs, including staff reports to the Mayor and Council, press releases, talking points for interviews, public education and outreach, and social media outputs. Damage Assessment Damage assessment, as a primary element of short-term recovery, will be coordinated by Human Resources/Risk Management in accordance with principles of the National Incident Management System (NIMS) as outlined in the CEMP, with input from every City department and COAD.  Damage information will be generated from a multitude of sources, including community groups. Every City department will have a role to play in the damage assessment process, even if only to report damages to its own facilities or operations.  Damage assessment for the City of Renton will be coordinated by the Human Resources/Risk Management Department. King County OEM will be the central coordination point for regional Preliminary Damage Assessments and for aggregating countywide information to support a Presidential Disaster Declaration. Damage Assessment in the Response Phase A complete and accurate damage assessment is needed to begin the recovery process and is a key component of situational awareness for responders, emergency managers, policy makers, and community leaders. Exhibit 5. EOC Situation Report and Recovery Status Report as Central Information Source AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 163 Field intelligence about the damages and impacts of a disaster inform response and recovery decisions, and should include data about the following event characteristics:  Location of damage  Extent of damage  Critical infrastructure and lifeline damage  Human needs  Residential and business impacts  Continuity of government operations  Deaths and injuries There are two primary processes for City departments to begin early damage assessment and develop situational awareness: the Response Capability Assessment and the Windshield Survey. Response Capability Assessment Following an event, all City departments are expected to assess the condition of their personnel, structures and equipment. From this assessment, a determination is made about the capability of that department to operationally respond to the needs of the event and provide vital services. The goal is to complete the Response Capability Assessment and report findings to Human Resources/Risk Management to be relayed to the EOC within two hours when possible. Windshield Survey The Windshield Survey is conducted immediately following the Response Capability Assessment. The Windshield Survey is used to further determine response capabilities by assessing response routes such as roadways and bridges. In addition to roadway assessment, the Windshield Survey is used to for drive-by triage of high hazard, high population areas and to provide a quick overview to effectively dispatch response units and City staff to the areas in greatest need. The goal is to complete the Windshield Survey and report findings to Human Resources/Risk Management to be relayed to the EOC within six hou rs when possible. This information is used to provide an initial overview of damages and impacts in Renton to the King County ECC. All City departments with a field presence are expected to conduct a Windshield Survey. Preliminary Damage Assessment Once immediate life safety needs have been addressed and response has transitioned to recovery, situational awareness developed during the first hours or days of the disaster provides a baseline for a more detailed damage assessment. That information as it becomes available will influence priorities and decisions for both short - and long-term recovery efforts. The Preliminary Damage Assessment (PDA) is the first detailed examination of damages to the built environment. This information must be collected and submitted to the Federal Government in support of a Presidential Disaster Declaration request. The PDA is conducted in two parts, one for each of the two principal declaration types: Public Assistance and Individual Assistance. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 164 The PDA for Public Assistance focuses on damages to public facilities and infrastructure. City departments are required to report any damage to government buildings or to infrastructure, e.g., roads, water lines, and sewer lines on the appropriate PDA forms. The PDA information is compiled by the Human Resources/Risk Management Department and provided to the Office of Emergency Management. This information is then submitted to the King County ECC, which then submits PDA data for all jurisdictions within county boundaries to the Washington State EOC. The State then compiles data from all impacted counties into a consolidated disaster declaration request package. The declaration request package is the basis for analysis by FEMA to recommend that the President make a disaster declaration for th e impacted area. Disaster declarations apply to the geographic county as a whole, and they are generally inclusive of all jurisdictions within the county’s boundaries. King County as a whole must be declared eligible for Public Assistance in order for the City of Renton to be eligible for cost-shared funding under FEMA’s Public Assistance Program. The PDA for Individual Assistance, FEMA’s program for providing temporary housing and repair grants to individuals and families, is coordinated at the King County ECC but it does require input from City departments. The County solicits information about individual losses from people who report damages via a Damage Assessment Hotline an 800 number which can be obtained from the King County Office of Emergency Manage ment. The County may also utilize an online form or include social media reports to compile additional data to support an Individual Assistance declaration by the President. In addition to compiling estimates of individual damages, joint State/County/City teams may tour damaged areas to ascertain additional impacts to private property. The State then compiles data from all impacted counties into a consolidated disaster declaration request package for an Individual Assistance declaration. Renton is automatically included should FEMA recommend and the President sign an Individual Assistance declaration for the county as a whole. Damage Reporting to EOC A barrage of early information about the extent and location of damages and associated secondary impacts is likely to come from a variety of sources. These may include:  Emergency responders with the Regional Fire Authority and the city, and other City staff  Eyewitness reports from the public  Local media (TV, radio, newspaper, electronic, etc.)  Social media  Volunteers The Renton EOC is the destination point for information gathered through the Response Capability Assessment, Windshield Survey, and Preliminary Damage Assessment that is coordinated by Human Resources/Risk Management. It is vital that the information collected through those assessments is rapidly and continuously related to the EOC so that analysis and sharing of damage assessment data can occur within the EOC and can be appropriately relayed to external partners. Most damage assessment activity will occur as a part of short-term recovery during the first days and weeks following a disaster event. Information about damages is collected immediately upon the activation of the EOC, and will include Response Capability Assessment and Windshield Survey reports from City staff as well as verifiable information as it AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 165 comes in from the other sources listed above. Damage assessment data is mapped when possible to maintain a common operating picture for decision makers. The Renton EOC disseminates initial damage assessment information from the EOC Situation Report, which is produced each operational period while the EOC is activated. The Situation Report is distributed to all EOC staff, City leadership, departments, and to other jurisdictions and emergency management agencies. The EOC also reports Renton’s damage information to the King County ECC as required for justifying a Presidential disaster declaration. Engineered assessments of damages may continue into long-term recovery and will be reported to the Office of Emergency Management for inclusion in the weekly Recovery Status Report to City leadership, staff, and external partners. This report will replace the EOC Situation Report once the EOC is demobilized, or as determined by the Emergency Management Director should the EOC remain open for an extended period of time into long-term recovery. Structural Assessments Closely related to damage assessment, structural assessment is the engineered inspection of damaged buildings, facilities, or infrastructure to determine functionality and whether they can be safely occupied. Trained building inspectors and structural engineers assess structural integrity and safety concerns before making a determination about occupancy and viability. ATC-20 Protocols The ATC-20 protocols are designed for post-earthquake structural assessments, but the City also applies the green/yellow/red system of tagging safe or unsafe buildings in other types of disasters. Some City staff have been trained in ATC-45 protocols for post-windstorm or post- flood assessments as well. Regardless of the disaster, a green tag signifies that a building has been inspected and is safe for occupancy. A yellow tag indicates that a building is safe only for limited entry but not for permanent occupancy. A red tag will be posted when a building is unsafe for entry except as noted for emergency personnel or City staff. These determinations may trigger additional requirements for property owners to comply with applicable codes and may also influence decisions to implement cost-effective mitigation measures. The following are resources on ATC protocols:  Applied Technology Council, ATC-20 Procedures for Post-earthquake Safety Evaluation of Buildings  Applied Technology Council, ATC-45 Procedures for Safety Evaluation of Buildings after Wind Storms and Floods Administration, Finance, and Logistics Administration and Finance The Administrative Services Department is responsible for managing all aspects of recovery finance and procurement, including the following tasks: AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 166  Expenditure tracking and reporting  Administering and tracking of emergency procurement waivers  Managing special accounts for recovery  Administering Federal and State recovery grants The Administrative Services Department is the clearinghouse for information regarding recovery finance and administration, but all departments are expected to keep accurate records regarding recovery expenditures, overtime costs, and equipment use to facilitate the reimbursement of eligible expenses under FEMA Public Assistan ce programs. Finance personnel collect recovery expenditure data submitted by each department, including transactions made under emergency procurement rules, for weekly reporting into the Recovery Status Report. Appropriate recordkeeping in compliance with the State Public Records Act is still required during the recovery phase of a disaster. The City Clerk serves as the City's Public Records Officer, and the Clerk's office is responsible for serving as the City Information Center regarding public information requests. Logistics and Resource Support When possible, departments will utilize their own resources or will rely on pre -existing agreements with partner agencies or vendors to obtain needed supplies and services. When resource needs in support of disaster recovery exceed existing departmental resource capabilities, the department will request, with as much advance notice as possible, resource support through the Renton EOC. While the EOC is activated, the Logistics Section and the Finance Section, in consultation with the Administrative Services Department, are responsible for locating, ordering, and procuring resources. Emergency Management staff will continue to coordinate resource support when the EOC is not activated. EOC staff will seek supplemental resource support from the following sources:  Other City departments  Local/regional vendors (where possible)  National vendors The EOC may also make resource requests via existing mutual aid agreements or through the King County Regional Disaster Plan. When necessary, the EOC requests emergency resource support from the Zone 3 Coordination Center, the King County ECC, and/or the Washington State EOC. Washington State may, in turn, request emergency assistance from other state governments via the Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC) or from the Federal Government. Requesting departments are responsible for tracking the use of supplemental resources provided to them. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 167 Communications for Public Information and Outreach It is vital to maintain constant outreach to the public to ensure dissemination of accurate information regarding the progress of disaster recovery as well as to manage rumors and speculation about recovery programs. The Deputy Administrator of Public Affairs in the Mayor’s Office has lead responsibility for the City’s public information activities throughout the recovery process. The Deputy Administrator of Public Affairs may be located in the Mayor’s Office, or another location from which they may effectively coordinate the public information function of the City. When the EOC is activated, a lead PIO within the EOC will coordinate with the Deputy Administrator of Public Affairs for key messages. In a regional event, multiple agencies and entities issue public information messages, increasing the possibility of conflicting information. To reduce inaccuracies and misinformation, the City utilizes a Joint Information System (JIS) to coordinate information with participating local, tribal, State, and Federal agencies. City of Renton Communications staff may also deploy to a Joint Information Center (JIC) with other regional jurisdictions, including the King County Emergency Coordination Center JIC. Methods of communicating with the public to convey recovery information include:  City of Renton emergency information web page at rentonwa.gov  CodeRED emergency notification system  Posting information at neighborhood information centers  Posting information at City facilities  Social media outlets  Government Access Channel (Channel 21)  Broadcast media (television and radio)  Newspapers and other print media  Electronic media  Community meetings and other outreach activities All major announcements and information releases, regardless of the means of communication, are vetted through the Communications Director prior to release. Ongoing Maintenance of the Recovery Framework Plan Development The City of Renton Disaster Recovery Framework was originally created as a Disaster Recovery Plan. It was developed with participation by a broad range of stakehold ers and partners, including City departmental staff, neighboring cities, King County, the State of Washington, the Renton Fire Authority, non-governmental organizations, and private sector partners. The Federal Emergency Management Agency of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security provided technical assistance to the development of this Framework. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 168 Planning Process The planning process commenced on December 2, 2010, with a Recovery Planning Kick-off Workshop hosted by the King County Office of Emergency Management. The four Green River Valley cities (Renton, Auburn, Kent, and Tukwila) and King County were principal participants in the workshop. Other stakeholders attended that serve in a support or coordination role in regional recovery operations. The stated goal of the workshop was to begin development of separate jurisdictional recovery plans in coordination with one another. The Kick-off Workshop was followed by eight functional workshops in February and March of 2011. Workshop participants divided into groups to discuss recovery issues and to strategize solutions for optimizing a coordinated approach. Information from workshop notes and from a supplemental informational survey was collated to provide an overview of current disaster recovery capabilities. The information was included in the original Disaster Recovery Plan and supplemented by follow-up communications with City leadership and staff to ensure consistency with existing City policy and procedures. Public Input The City of Renton Disaster Recovery Plan was posted to the City website on December 13, 2011, to solicit public comment. Notice of publication was published in the Renton Reporter and posted in Renton City Hall, and on the Public Meetings Calendar on the City website. In addition, the public was invited to comment on the Disaster Recovery Plan at a regular City Council meeting on February 27, 2012. Comments from all venues and sources will continue to be accepted and integrated in future update cycles as deemed appropriate. Recovery Framework Transition The City of Renton completed a Disaster Recovery Plan in 2012. This Draft Disaster Recovery Framework is a partial update of the 2012 Plan and a restructure of the content to align with the National Disaster Recovery Framework (NDRF) and its Recovery Support Functions (RSF). This update is also guided by Comprehensive Preparedness Guidance (CPG) 101 and 201 published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The new Framework includes six RSFs. Three of the six RSFs are updated in this draft using input from stakeholder interviews, consultant knowledge and experience of disaster recovery planning, and targeted research. Eleven stakeholder interviews were conducted with City staff and key partners, representing a range of viewpoints in housing, human services, and community and economic development. This draft will be presented to the City of Renton Emergency Management Group (EMG) on August 4, 2016 and the EMG will provide feedback to be incorporated into a final draft along with consultant identified areas of development that the City may pursue in subsequent revisions. Recovery Framework Maintenance AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 169 Departments are expected to develop implementing procedures for roles and responsibilities outlined in this Disaster Recovery Framework. Procedures should be submitted to the Office of Emergency Management for inclusion in the Appendix. Designated departments with responsibilities outlined in the Framework are expected to provide adequate training to departmental staff to ensure a continual readiness to complete their responsibilities. In addition, programs and activities outlined in this Framework may be exercised on a periodic basis as directed by the Mayor. After any exercise designed to test recovery processes, or after an actual disaster event, any successes and shortfalls shall be noted in an After Action Report. Recommended improvements to the Framework will be included in the next update. At a minimum, the City of Renton Disaster Recovery Framework, including its RSFs, will be reviewed and updated once every four years. The Office of Emergency Management retains responsibility for keeping a Master Copy of this plan up-to-date and for distributing updates to City departments. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 170 RECOVERY SUPPORT FUNCTIONS Recovery Support Functions (RSFs) aim to expedite recovery of disaster-impacted residents, families, businesses, and communities. The six RSFs within this section group core recovery capabilities to facilitate problem-solving, improve access to resources, and foster communication among the City, residents, businesses, and local and neighborhood organizations. The six RSF sections parallel the National Disaster Recovery Framework and include: 1. Community Planning and Capacity Building (new section in 2016 update) 2. Economic Recovery (substantially updated in 2016) 3. Health and Social Services (has not been substantially updated) 4. Housing (new section in 2016 update) 5. Infrastructure Systems (has not been substantially updated) 6. Natural and Cultural Resources (has not been substantially updated) Exhibit 6 and Exhibit 7 summarize the information contained in each RSF and their goals. Exhibit 6.

COMMUNITY PLANNING AND CAPACITY BUILDING The Community Planning and Capacity Building RSF provides guidance and support for community engagement during disaster recovery. Included in this RSF are recommendations for development of Citywide and community-focused recovery priorities. Community engagement is a cross-cutting recovery activity, and will inform the activities within each RSF. Goals and Strategies are outlined here alongside suggested ways to leverage current community resources and build capacity. Planning Assumptions  State and federal agencies offer grant assistance programs to offset the burden of disaster recovery. However, the terms and funding amounts may change over time and not align with community priorities.  City departments will develop procedures and provide appropriate training to staff with designated roles and responsibilities in this RSF, and will work with local organizations and community groups to build capacity for disaster recovery efforts.  The level and method of community planning and engagement will depend on the impact and the location of the disaster event. City, community, and neighborhood resources may be available at different times and at varying levels.  Language diversity in Renton will present challenges for coordinated communications from the City.  Many local organizations will need City funding or quick, flexible funds in order to serve the community during recovery. The Renton Community Foundation is a 501(c)(3) that hosts a fund that can receive cash funds for disaster relief on behalf of the City. These funds can be leveraged by COAD and community groups during recovery. Guiding Principles  The community is best positioned to know resident needs during recovery and has the most effective means of communication. The City should be a listening partner to coordinate and support activities for community-wide recovery.  COAD’s primary mission is helping the City address unmet human needs recovery.  Inclusion and coordination of community organizations during recovery will maximize the efficiency of participating organizations, prevent duplication of services, and speed up recovery.  Simplicity is key. Streamlining processes and procedures for help during recovery will build community buy-in for City recovery activities. GREATER RENTON COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS ACTIVE IN DISASTER (COAD) Neighborhoods, schools, businesses, government, faith communities, and non-profit organizations who identify, network, organize, and deploy resources to address the unmet human needs in disaster recovery. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 174  Practicing recovery is crucial to planning for recovery. The City should make an effort to include local organizations and community groups in disaster response and recovery training. Decision-Making Framework Community planning and capacity building will be coordinated by the Mayor’s Office and Greater Renton COAD, with input from the Mayor’s Inclusion Task Force, the Department of Community & Economic Development, and every City department. Community engagement is a cross-cutting recovery activity, and will inform the activities within each RSF. Renton has many public, nonprofit, and private organizations that will play an important role in disaster recovery. To be successful, the City must leverage the existing ecosystem of partners, which includes neighborhoods, schools, businesses, government, faith communities, and nonprofit organizations. For specific responsibilities related to RSF 1, see Recovery Responsibility Tables in the Appendix. Key Considerations  Disaster preparedness messaging to residents has been to prepare for a minimum of three days to a week or more, but many people living in and around Renton don’t have the resources and will not be prepared for post -disaster, let alone long-term recovery.  Local nonprofit organizations will need capacity building before a disaster in order to be effective during recovery. The City can encourage recovery functions and capacity by engaging in partner organizations’ strategic planning.  Renton has a neighborhood program, but some neighborhoods are more active than others, and not all neighborhoods have a neighborhood organization that they rally around. Many communities in Renton are not defined by geography but rather race, ethnicity, religion, or social experience.  The Greater Renton COAD is critical to productive community engagement before, during, and following a disaster.  The City will need a mechanism in place to manage cash donations.  Mobility barriers, such as lack of safe pedestrian pathways or accommodation for those living with disabilities, will prevent individuals and families from accessing services during recovery.  Promotional materials will need to be available in different languages and community leaders will need to be in contact with the City to help non -English speaking residents who are illiterate.  Simple icons or stick figure drawings may be an effective method of communication across ages and languages.  Churches are critical to outreach to elderly and ESL communities in Renton.  Libraries can play crucial roles in helping their communities prepare for and respond to a disaster or emergency through building community resilience, sharing information, facilitating networking, providing shelter, and contributing to recovery staffing. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 175  Many cities have experienced disasters and have learned lessons about response and recovery. Renton could reach out to these cities to learn from their successes and mistakes. Recovery Goals and Strategies 1. Mobilize local organizations, faith-based and neighborhood groups, and major employers to be active players in recovery. A. Identify and inventory groups and resources needed for coordination in a recovery effort. o Engagement of Latino, Somali, Chinese, Ukrainian, Russian, and Vietnamese communities in Renton will be critical to a successful recovery. o Faith-based facilities may serve as locations to coordinate with community leaders and neighborhood groups. B. Leverage community leaders in the Mayor’s Inclusion Task Force and local groups fo r communications and on-the-ground neighborhood assessments and status updates. C. Equip community groups with quick and low-cost tools to complete assessments. Examples include online and print surveys, kiosks, and guides for small group discussion. D. Reach out and provide support to the Greater Renton Community Organizations Active in Disaster (COAD) and invite identified community groups. Greater Renton COAD is critical to productive community engagement before, during, and following a disaster. See Exhibit 3. Source: Greater Renton COAD Emergency Coordination Plan, May 2009.

Ensure an effective procurement and processing system during recovery by setting up MOUs with local service providers as part of recovery planning. A. Identify and inventory the critical services that will require supporting and funding throughout responses and recovery. o Food banks such as Northwest Harvest will require funds in order to maintain services, especially when there is greater demand. o Large apartment complexes in Renton often function like neighborhoods and can be a key connection to many of Renton’s residents. o Apartment Manager Association gets together for crime prevention and have access to renters, who may be more difficult to locate through City data than homeowners. 3. Use a variety of materials, methods, and access sites to communicate recovery efforts to the entire community. A. Renton is a diverse community with geographic constraints. The City should utilize existing touchpoints with residents to share information and build capacity after a disaster. o Possible access sites include:  Churches and mosques  Summer lunch sites  King County Library branches  Recreation centers  Day care facilities  Grocery and hardware stores 4. Coordinate City approach to reach out to large foundations and philanthropists. A. To be successful in receiving and managing funds, the City should coordinate and align requests. o The City may choose to support one or more local, non-governmental groups to lead the management of donated funds. o Boeing, Walmart, and PACCAR all have a local presence in Renton and large foundations. Past City experience of applying for funds has been a cumbersome process, but will be necessary in recovery. COMMUNITY AND NEIGHBORHOOD GROUPS  Apartment Manager Association  Centro Rendu (St. Vincent De Paul)  City Summer Lunch sites  Mayor’s Inclusion Task Force  Northwest Harvest  Renton Ecumenical Association of Churches (REACH)  Renton Rotary Club  Renton Salvation Army  Renton Veteran’s Center  St. Anthony’s Catholic Parish AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 177 5. Encourage private donations and volunteer resources. A. Encourage and facilitate creative fundraising, especially with social media and crowdsourcing platforms. o Service groups like Renton Rotary may have rapid resource funds to tap into while waiting for federal and state assistance. o Renton may be able to leverage its connections with the Seattle Seahawks and its large fan base to bring volunteers and flexible funds to the recovery process.

ECONOMIC RECOVERY The Economic Recovery RSF presents goals and strategies designed to restore Renton’s economy following a disaster. It focuses on the coordinated efforts that would be necessary to maintain Renton’s major employers, small businesses, and workforce – all key components of a successful recovery. Economic recovery is strongly interconnected with housing, human services, and community-building, therefore there are frequent ties and overlaps with RSF 1. Community Planning and Capacity Building and RSF 4. Housing. To expand its recovery abilities, the City should leverage partner agencies and local business partners. Planning Assumptions  Physical damage to public facilities and infrastructure may impact other critical systems, essential functions, and commercial interests.  Interdependencies between various elements of public infrastructure may lead to interruptions in essential services in undamaged areas. Similar interdependencies between commercial entities are likely to impact businesses that did not incur direct damage.  Long-term impacts of business damage, including the ability of firms to re-open, may be difficult to assess.  Temporary recovery-related businesses such as inspections and construction will be important for rebuilding. However, it will be challenging to verify and regulate them.  Without jobs, many residents will leave Renton and seek work elsewhere.  The City will provide outreach to small businesses to let them know of available assistance during recovery.  The City of Renton requires any contractor or business to obtain a business license prior to doing work within the City limits. Building inspectors may request to view contractor licenses and credentials to ensure compliance with all licensing requirements and qualifications to complete permitted work. Guiding Principles  In early recovery the City should prioritize restoring businesses that provide critical services for the community, such as grocery stores, gas stations, and healthcare. Once the community is stable the City can move forward to stabilize major employers in order to get residents back into jobs.  Restoring utilities is necessary to keep major employers, especially businesses in aerospace, technology, food processing, and manufacturing. Bringing working water, PARTNER AGENCIES  Public Health Seattle- King County  Puget Sound Energy  Washington Association of Building Officials  Washington State Department of Labor and Industries  Renton, Issaquah, and Kent school districts  Small Business Administration (SBA)  Federal Reserve System  Archdiocese of Seattle LOCAL BUSINESS PARTNERS  Chamber of Commerce  Downtown Business Association  Small Business Development Center  Retail Center Management companies  AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 179 wastewater, and electricity systems to major employers would need to be a priority during recovery.  Restoring childcare is essential to economic recovery. For people to get back to work, their children need to be cared for.  Restoring opportunities for education is essential for people to be able to know that their children are in a safe, stable and supportive, learning environment. Students need predictable schedules and reliable facilities in order to resume learning.  Economic recovery should be guided by the sustainability and resiliency goals described in the Renton Comprehensive Plan, specifically the desire to build a diverse economic industry base in areas of Aerospace, Healthcare, and Creative industries (high -tech, design, software, local artesian, gaming, and architecture, etc.) as described in the Renton Comprehensive Plan. Decision-Making Framework The Community and Economic Development Department and the Public Works Department are the co-lead agencies for inspections and permitting of structures, dwellings, and City of Renton infrastructure. Widespread catastrophic damage may require regional collaboration with King County, Washington State, and the Federal Government. City leadership will allocate staff and other resources to regional efforts as able. Renton has many public, nonprofit, and private organizations that will play an important role in economic recovery. To be successful, the City must leverage the existing ecosystem of partners, which includes neighborhoods, schools, businesses, government, faith communities, and nonprofit organizations. The Community Economic Development Department and Public Works can access some of this network through Greater Renton COAD. For specific responsibilities related to RSF 2, see Recovery Responsibility Tables in the Appendix. Key Considerations  It is unlikely that the City will be able to access an infusion of capital to jumpstart the economy beyond state or federal assistance.  Renton struggles with a lack of diversity in its industry portfolio. It is largely dependent on the aerospace industry, which in the case of a large disaster and disrupted production, may not stay in Renton during or after recovery.  Residents in Renton are served by a mix of municipal and non-municipal water and sewer districts.  Traffic congestion is a challenge in and around Renton, and may be especially bad in recovery. Any impairment to State Route 167 and/or Interstate 405 would create a standstill for residents moving in and out of the City.  Disasters often result in an influx of construction contractors from out -of-state areas to meet local demand for rebuilding.  Renton has three overlapping school districts: Renton, Issaquah, and Kent. School districts are major land and property owners within the City limits. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 180 Recovery Goals and Strategies 1. Prioritize permit processes that are essential to life and safety and suspend non -essential permitting processes to expedite recovery. A. Strike a responsible balance between an expedited recovery process and requirements to rebuild sustainably in accordance with all applicable codes and regulations. B. Provide customer-friendly experience for residents while ensuring their homes and businesses are rebuilt to code, with minimal environmental impact, and greater resiliency. C. Expand City hours of operation and send field permitting and inspection teams to damaged areas. D. Offer one-stop review and permitting services for property owners undertaking reconstruction activities. 2. Encourage property owners to investigate contractors for hire and provide tools to ensure compliance with licensing requirements and prevent fraud. A. Any contractors working on a reconstruction project with Federal cost -share funding must undergo debarment certification prior to being hired. Any contractor (or subcontractor) that has been excluded from receiving Federal contracts or pass-through funding may not be utilized if any Federal funds (e.g., FEMA Public Assistance funding) are obligated to the project. o City staff and project managers may search for debarred and excluded companies at www.sam.gov. B. Through ongoing community outreach, encourage property and business owners to undertake due diligence in hiring contractors. 3. Connect both big and small businesses to loan assistance, employees, goods, and markets through early and ongoing outreach. A. Reach out to large employers to understand what is necessary to keep them in business. B. Use Downtown Business Group, Chamber of Commerce, Small Business Development Center, and Small Business Administration (SBA) to reach out to small businesses in Renton. Through these connections, tell the story of businesses to federal funders. o In a disaster, SBA can make recovery loan tools available to small businesses. C. Reach out to management companies at large retail centers, e.g. The Landing, to be in contact with national retailers. 4. Coordinate with partners or directly provide time-limited, quality childcare. A. Set up or coordinate childcare in recreation areas, schools, and community centers. o Partner with the YMCA and other nonprofits in advance and develop MOUs to provide childcare services in recovery. B. Encourage major employers and school districts to provide term-limited, in-house childcare to facilitate economic recovery. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 181 5. Seek out opportunities to diversify Renton’s industry portfolio. A. Expand the industry portfolio to ensure economic resiliency into the future.

HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES The purpose of the Health and Social Services RSF to the City of Renton Disaster Recovery Framework is to establish a coordinated approach to addressing post -disaster humanitarian needs through mass care efforts, shelter and temporary housing assistance, and the delivery of other emergency human services programs. This RSF, like the Disaster Recovery Framework as a whole, applies to all City departments and provides an operational framework to guide coordinated human service delivery efforts among a network of community based organizations (CBOs) and other jurisdictions at the local, State, and Federal levels. The RSF supports and integrates other plans and programs that aid in recovery operations. Planning Assumptions  For the purposes of this Health and Social Services RSF it is assumed that immediate threats to life and property have been addressed and that the operational focus has shifted to short-term recovery activities such as restoring essential services and meeting basic human needs. Response actions outlined in the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan will take precedence as long as threats remain to life and property.  Events of regional, statewide, or national significance may require cross-jurisdictional cooperation in recovery efforts such as sheltering, mass care and feeding, and temporary housing.  Non-governmental CBOs, which often provide a significant proportion of post -disaster human services delivery, may be impacted by the disaster and unable to operate at full capacity.  City departments will develop procedures and provide appropriate training to staff with designated roles and responsibilities in this RSF.  Environmental damage to the natural or built environment may have far -reaching impacts to public health. Guiding Principles  Human services and job recovery go hand in hand. People will need things and help and housing to get them into jobs to keep the community afloat.  Need case managers and counseling. Most people will get housing and food if they can – but they will need help to manage meds and counseling.  Residents rely on an effective and equitable human services delivery system to meet their basic physical, economic, and social needs. Decision-Making Framework A large-scale event that overwhelms the City’s capability to meet basic human needs will require regional collaboration through the King County ECC or through other regionalized humanitarian and mass care efforts. City leadership will provide staff and resource support to these efforts as able. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 183 The Community Services Administrator provides oversight of human service delivery efforts in accordance with the Mayor’s policy direction. The Emergency Management Director provides coordination support for citywide human service delivery efforts from the Renton Emergency Operations Center (EOC) in accordance with the Mayor’s policy direction. The Emergency Management Director also coordinates with the King County ECC on regional human service delivery efforts. For specific responsibilities related to RSF 3, see Recovery Responsibility Tables in the Appendix. Partner Agencies  American Red Cross  Public Health Public Health Seattle-King County  Greater Renton COAD  Salvation Army  Renton Housing Authority  [Insert Community Resource Guide] Key Considerations  Housebound Residents or those requiring oxygen and dialysis will require special outreach and ongoing checkups. The City currently has no data on this population or system to track who and where these people are. o Consider an opt-in registry for pre-disaster preparation. People might be willing to self-identify for disaster preparedness.  People in Renton are likely to be impacted by a significant natural disaster or human - caused incident. Impacts may include lack of food and water and disruption of community support services.  Humanitarian needs will become apparent through damage assessment and outreach activities. Short-term basic needs such as food, water, shelter, and emergency first aid will have to be met in the early hours and days after the disaster. Longer-term needs will continue to be identified and addressed throughout recovery, sometimes for months or years after an event.  Many human service delivery challenges are a result of secondary impacts of damaged infrastructure, including power outages, the loss of potable water, interrupted food and medicine distribution, and exposure to hazardous materials.  Damage to human service facilities or to the infrastructure that supports their operations may inhibit effective service delivery for human needs.  Community based organizations provide most of the direct human service programs crucial to recovery efforts. Many of these organizations, along with businesses, neighborhood groups, and other organizations, participate in the Greater Renton Community Organizations Active in Disaster (COAD) which helps provide goods and services for unmet human needs in a disaster.  Survivors with access or functional needs and lower income disaster survivors present specialized challenges in recovery efforts. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 184  The local public and, in major events, people from all over the nation and world will seek opportunities to donate or volunteer to assist with recovery efforts.  An event that overwhelms local capability to meet basic human needs may require assistance from other cities and regions, King County, the State of Washington, and the Federal Government. The Renton Emergency Operations Center (EOC) will request support and assistance as needed.  Mobility barriers, such as lack of safe pedestrian pathways or accom modation for those living with disabilities, will prevent individuals and families from accessing services during recovery. Recovery Goals and Strategies Human impacts in disasters may include loss of housing, lack of food and clean water, injuries and other health issues, and interruption of community services. A key element of disaster recovery for the City of Renton and the surrounding region is the delivery of assistance, services, and programs designed to alleviate these impacts and to meet basic human needs. Response efforts outlined in Emergency Support Function #6 of the City of Renton CEMP and the King County CEMP address immediate post-disaster needs. Because short-term recovery begins concurrently with response activities, this RSF addresses immediate needs as well as longer-term recovery needs in three major categories: mass care, emergency assistance, and human services. Mass Care  Feeding operations  Bulk distribution of emergency items  Collecting and providing information on victims to family me mbers Emergency Assistance  Support to evacuations (registration and tracking of evacuees)  Reunification of families  Provision of assistance to survivors with access or functional needs  Pet evacuation and sheltering  Support to specialized shelters  Support to medical needs shelters  Donations management  Coordination of CBO/voluntary agency assistance  Coordination of unaffiliated volunteers Health and Social Services  Personal property replacement (to reunite people with keepsake belongings, when possible)  Disaster loans  Food stamps  Crisis/grief counseling  Disaster unemployment AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 185  Disaster legal services  Support for survivors with access or functional needs  Other State and Federal benefits  Elementary/middle/high school education opportunities  Pre-school/child care The City of Renton has limited capabilities to address human needs in a large-scale disaster. The EOC requests additional resources and program support through the King County ECC from the State of Washington and the Federal Government, which administer many of the programs listed above. Related efforts to provide medical services beyond emergency first aid are administered by Public Health Seattle-King County in accordance with its plans and operational protocols. To the extent they are operational, CBOs and voluntary agencies, including the American Red Cross, the Salvation Army, the Greater Renton Community Organizations Active in Disaster (COAD), Renton Housing Authority, local service clubs/organizations and religious organizations, and other disaster relief and human services organizations, may provide valuable direct services and case management experience in support of this RSF.

HOUSING The Housing RSF provides guidance and support for the rehabilitation and reconstruction of destroyed or damaged housing post-disaster and the development of new, accessible housing solutions. Housing is only one critical piece of the larger recovery process that must be coordinated across City, local, state, and federal agencies RSF 1. Community Planning and Capacity Building, RSF 2. Economic Recovery, RSF 3. Health and Social Services, and RSF 5. Infrastructure Systems all have relevant interconnectedness with housing recovery. Goals and strategies for reestablishing housing in Renton post-disaster are outlined here. Planning Assumptions  Housing is a challenging and critical component of Renton’s recovery; without access to adequate and affordable housing residents will leave Renton to find affordable housing elsewhere.  Large-scale emergencies are likely to deplete local and regional recovery resources. Assistance from other cities and regions, King County, the State of Washington, and the Federal Government will be requested as needed and the City should be prepared to coordinate across these levels of government.  The City of Renton has limited capabilities to address human needs in a large-scale disaster. The EOC requests additional resources and program support through the K ing County ECC from the State of Washington and the Federal Government, which administer many of the disaster housing programs.  Impact to public services and infrastructure serving residential buildings will affect housing recovery.  The City can anticipate an influx of businesses related to repairing and rebuilding housing, and there may be challenges around regulating them.  Long-term housing recovery is a slow process and, depending on the scale of the disaster, it could be many years before Renton’s housing stock is replenished. Guiding Principles  A complete and accurate assessment of physical damage to residential property is a key determinant of occupancy and viability and in turn the creation and implementation of both interim and permanent housing strategies.  The City should plan to support the needs of the whole community and prioritize vulnerable populations with the greatest need.  Housing recovery should be guided by the goals and values outlined in the Renton Comprehensive Plan, specifically to: o Adopt best available housing practices and implement innovative techniques to advance the provision of affordable, fair, healthy, and safe housing for renters, homeowners, and the homeless.  Coordinate housing repair and reconstruction with development of infrastructure and public services, such as water, sewer, utilities, and transit. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 187  Recovery efforts should contribute to the City’s sustainability and resilience against future disasters.  Renton has strong neighborhoods and the City should maintain a robust communication process with its partners and established community groups throughout the recovery process. (See RSF 1. Community Planning and Capacity Building.) Decision-Making Framework The Community and Economic Development Department and the Human Services office of the Community Services Department will be co-lead agencies for permitting, redevelopment planning, plan reviews, environmental compliance, housing recovery solutions, coordination of housing recovery financing, and the facilitation of the rehabilitation and reconstruction of Renton’s housing stock. Events of regional, statewide, or national significance may require cross-jurisdictional cooperation in recovery efforts with King County, Washington, State, and/or the Federal Government. To expand their recovery abilities, the City should leverage partner agencies and other community housing resources (found in the Renton Community Resource Directory and additional resources called out here). The Community and Economic Development Department, as well as other collaborating departments, should anticipate supplemental surge staffing during the recovery process as well as the allocation of staff and other resources to regional efforts as able. For specific responsibilities related to RSF 4, see Recovery Responsibility Tables in the Appendix. Key Considerations  Pre-disaster Renton is faced with an aging housing stock and existing affordability issues, both of which could pose a challenge in maintaining and creating affordability during recovery. Pre-disaster housing needs should be addressed now to position Renton for a faster recovery post-disaster.  Money may be diverted to denser, higher need areas before reaching Renton. The City should be prepared to expect a delay in necessary funds for recovery.  Post-disaster, repair and reconstruction occur at an accelerated pace which creates design, construction, labor, materials, logistics, inspection, and financing issues.  Recovery could be expedited if certain planning regulations were relaxed as local, state, and federal law allows.

This influx can be hard to regulate and sometimes lead residents becoming victims of contractor fraud.  Recovery should focus on preventing extreme increases in housing prices and maintaining housing affordability within the City. Using technical assistance, policy, and other available means to address this should be explored.  Redevelopment of large portions of housing stock could provide opportunities for smarter redevelopment – greener, more vibrant neighborhoods, and higher quality housing stock.  Renton has strong neighborhood communities.  Minimize loss of historic buildings where possible. Recovery Goals and Strategies 1. Assess housing needs and available resources to establish a Housing Recovery Strategy. A. Ensure the damage and structural assessments of residential housing (See Damage Assessment and Structural Assessment) are robust enough to establish a baseline inventory and Housing Needs Assessment that will be used throughout the recovery process and help justify finding requests. o Maintain and manage assessment data throughout the recovery process to accurately respond to local, regional, and federal requests for information. B. Establish both short- and long-term housing recovery strategies based on the housing needs assessment that outline steps needed to reestablish housing stock in the City. o Typical housing recovery programs include: Temporary housing, Rental/loan assistance, Repair assistance, Replacement, Identification and provision of accessible housing, and Disaster loans. o Communicate strategies to the public, making use of established community groups and physical posting boards to get the word out. (SeeRSF 1. Community Planning and Capacity Building.) 2. Streamline City processes to expedite housing recovery. A. Strike a responsible balance between an expedited recovery pro cess and requirements to rebuild sustainably in accordance with all applicable codes and regulations. B. Encourage rapid and appropriate decisions regarding land use and housing location in the community. C. Prepare for surge operations and/or request outside assistance to meet customer demand for permitting, inspections, and code enforcement. o Expand City hours of operation and send field permitting and inspection teams to damaged areas. o Offer one-stop review and permitting services for property owners undertaking reconstruction activities. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 189 D. Provide customer-friendly experience for residents while ensuring their homes are rebuilt to code, with minimal environmental impact, and greater resiliency. 3. Identify interim housing solutions based on needs and priorities of neighborhoods. A. Leverage existing housing agencies, partners, and community groups to identify and implement interim housing solutions. B. Preserve or rehabilitate existing affordable housing where it is decent, safe, and sanitary in order to protect neighborhood stability and character. C. Take advantage of undamaged rental stock for both temporary and long-term housing. D. Facilitate transition from shelters to interim and permanent housing making use of existing housing match resources such as Housing Search NW and Renton Housing Authority’s Risk Retention Pool. 4. Connect homeowners and renters with existing housing resources and create educational materials to help rebuild smarter and safer. A. Communicate applicable codes and permits, so that residents can ensure compliance with all applicable codes and for obtain all necessary permits when rebuilding and repairing damaged property. B. Help residents guard against fraud and unsafe housing conditions. See Goal 2. in RSF 2. Economic Recovery. C. Assign a City lead on federal, state, and local assistance programs that can create materials to share with residents who are navigating different housing repair and reconstruction loans. D. Leverage existing Human Services Assistance and Discount Programs. o Facilitate applications for utility payment relief for residents, especially when utility services aren’t available or housing units are vacant but still incurring minimum payments. o Connect homeowners with legal resources for navigating complex relationships with banks related to mortgages, pre-foreclosure, and foreclosure. E. Partner with the existing community networks to help provide services, resources, and communications so that all residents have information available to identify housing solutions for themselves. 5. Facilitate the provision of affordable, safe, and sustainable housing for all impacted residents. A. Address available funding and affordability in repair and reconstruction of residential properties. o Coordinate housing recovery across region with King County ECC for federal monies, and with local, state, and federal groups for gap-filling measures. o Be proactive in exploring negotiations with banks for temporary mortgage relief for City residents. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 190 o Explore ways to increase the City’s affordable housing incentives post-disaster to maintain affordability through new development. B. Stimulate repair, reconstruction, and redevelopment that creates safe housing for residents. o Expand capacity and resources of existing housing repair program to leverage existing expertise in small repairs like roofs, furnaces, foundations, and water heaters. o Promote hazard mitigation measures where practicable and cost-effective and/or where required by law. C. Build toward a more sustainable and resilient Renton. o Encourage development in safe zones with code compliance to barrier against future disasters. o Maintain standards that contribute to thoughtful rebuilding in a resilient manner, but explore where certain rules can be relaxed in an effort to get residents back in their homes. o Make use of Renton’s existing Comprehensive Plan to guide decisions around best land use and City vision.

INFRASTRUCTURE SYSTEMS The purpose of the Public Infrastructure Restoration RSF to the City of Renton Disaster Recovery Plan is to establish uniform policies and procedures and identify roles and responsibilities for coordinating the restoration of public infrastructure and essential services during the post-event recovery process. This RSF, like the Disaster Recovery Plan as a whole, applies to all City departments and provides an operational framework to guide coordinated infrastructure restoration effort s. The RSF supports and integrates State, Federal, and private utility plans and programs that aid in recovery operations. Planning Assumptions  Recovery begins almost as soon as a disaster event occurs, often concurrent with emergency response. For the purposes of this Infrastructure Systems RSF it is assumed that immediate threats to life and property have been addressed and that the operational focus has shifted to short-term recovery activities. Response actions outlined in the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan take precedence as long as threats remain to life and property.  Repair, restoration, and/or reconstruction of public infrastructure and the resumption of essential services may take days, weeks, or even years to complete.  Events of regional, statewide, or national significance will require cross-jurisdictional cooperation in recovery and restoration efforts, including debris management.  A complete and accurate assessment of physical damages to public infrastructure and facilities and of interruptions to essential services will inform an effective prioritization of recovery actions.  Private owners of infrastructure and service providers will work closely with local governments to develop restoration priorities.  Private entities and public agencies may hesitate to share information if deemed proprietary.  City departments will develop procedures and provide appropriate training to staff with designated roles and responsibilities in this RSF.  Disaster debris may impede the efforts of emergency responders.  Disaster debris may create dangers to the health and safety of the public as well as that of emergency responders and other City staff.  Disaster debris may block transportation routes, potentially delaying the restoration of critical services or impeding the flow of goods and services for disaster recovery.  Large volumes of debris from a catastrophic disaster event and from the demolition of damaged structures may require temporary storage.  Permanent processing and disposal of large volumes of disaster debris may take months or even years to complete.  Contaminated debris from a catastrophic disaster event can have long-term negative environmental impacts.  Areas with significant debris issues may become apparent through damage assessment and restoration activities as well as from damage reports from the public. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 192  Residents and business owners will want to have keepsake possessions identified and returned versus being disposed of.  Private solid waste companies have a significant role to play as partners in disaster recovery and debris management activities.  Contaminated debris has the potential to impact the environment and therefore trigger additional disposal considerations. Guiding Principles [To be developed in subsequent updates]  Recovery begins almost as soon as a disaster event occurs, often concurrent with emergency response.  Response action outline in the Comprehensive Emergency management Plan take precedence as long as threats remain to life and property.  A complete and accurate assessment of physical damages to public infrastructure and facilities and of interruptions to essential services are critical to informing an effective prioritization of recovery actions.  Disaster debris management is a high priority.  A navigable and functioning airport is essential to recovery operations.  The King County Emergency Coordination Center (KCECC) is the central coordination point for regional debris management efforts. The Renton Emergency Operations Center (EOC) provides support coordination between City and regional activities.  City departments are expected to develop procedures and provide appropriate training to staff with designated roles and responsibilities in this RSF.  Restoration of communication and transportation infrastructure is vital to recovery operations. Decision-Making Framework The Public Works Department is the lead agency in Renton for coordinating the restoration of infrastructure for water, sewer, storm water drainage, and transportation, as well as for working with private utility companies to facilitate service restoration. The Administrative Services Department is the lead agency for restoring City government communication and information technology services, as well as for coordinating the restoration of Citywide Internet, broadband, and wireless services. Widespread catastrophic damage may require regional collaboration with King County, Washington State, and the Federal Government. City leadership will allocate staff and other resources to regional efforts as able. If a key official is unable to perform their duties as assigned, a designee may be appointed consistent with the delegations of authority as defined in each department’s continuity of operations planning. The Mayor may appoint community leaders and stakeholders to the Recovery Management Team after a disaster with widespread damage and economic impacts to help guide recovery programs. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 193 City departments retain programmatic responsibility for recovery efforts under their purview. Each department is expected to: ensure that their personnel remain aware of their disaster recovery roles and responsibilities; develop procedures for implementing disaster recovery programs and activities; and provide training to staff to maintain optimal capabilities for disaster recovery. Infrastructure System Responsibilities The following are basic responsibilities of Renton City departments for restoring infrastructure and essential services. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) may be developed to provide further detail on how individual departments and divisions shall perform their responsibilities. Recovery and restoration activities may initially be coordinated in the Renton EOC or in the field in accordance with principles of the National Incident Management System (NIMS) as outlin ed in the CEMP. Long-term restoration and rebuilding operations will transition to normal departmental organization and functions over time. However, supplemental surge staffing may be required for much of the recovery process. Partner Agencies  Cable/media providers  Fuel pipeline distribution and delivery companies  Hospitals/Urgent Care Centers  Internet providers  Renton School District  Issaquah School District  Kent School District  Catholic Archdiocese of Seattle (schools & parishes)  University of Washington (UW) Medicine (Valley Medical Center)  Public Health Seattle-King County Public Health  King County Library System  Puget Sound Energy  Telephone companies  Wireless/cell-phone carriers  Backhaul providers (fiber)  King County Department of Natural Resources  National Response Center  Renton Regional Fire Authority  United States Department of Transportation  Washington State Department of Ecology  Waste Management Republic Waste  Debris removal vendors  Burlington Northern/Santa Fe Railway  Federal Aviation Administration AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 194  National Guard  King County Metro  Sound Transit  Washington State Department of Transportation  King County Wastewater  Utilities and Transportation Commission Key Considerations  Many aspects of disaster recovery are dependent on the restoration of infrast ructure and essential services.  Transportation systems, water and sewer systems, utility transmission systems, and information infrastructure will be assessed early in recovery to determine what can be quickly repaired and restored. Permanent repairs may follow at a later phase of long- term recovery.  Some critical infrastructure is privately owned and may require close public/private coordination.  Public facilities such as schools, community centers, and parks may have dual uses during disaster recovery and therefore may be deemed a priority for restoration. Recovery Goals and Strategies Public infrastructure systems, and essential services that often rely on them, are taken for granted until they are damaged or rendered inoperable by the impacts of disaster . Yet civil society cannot operate without them. For that reason, the restoration of these systems is a key component of disaster recovery. Almost every aspect of recovery is dependent on at least one of the infrastructure systems below:  Transportation system (roadways, rail, mass transit)  Power system (electric transmission lines, natural gas lines, fuel pipelines)  Water system (water treatment plants, water mains, distribution lines)  Wastewater/sewer system (sewer lines, pump stations, wastewater treatment plants)  Storm water system (drainage conveyance systems, culverts, stormwater flow control/water quality treatment facilities, levees, floodwalls, stormwater pump stations)  Communications system (telephone landlines, cell towers)  Internet/broadband (fiber optic cable, Wi-Fi) In addition, the continuity of government and other essential services is dependent upon the functionality of facilities such as:  Hospitals  Schools  Government buildings, including service yards (fleet, materials, equipment)  Community centers Restoring this infrastructure and associated services is therefore a high priority action that begins early in short-term recovery. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 195 The City of Renton is responsible for many of the infrastructure elements listed above. Some systems are privately owned or operated, requiring close public/private coordination to ensure that public priorities inform the order and pace of restoration. City departments and private sector partners with responsibility for infrastructure systems and essential services implement the following restoration actions:  Damage assessment  Estimation of service interruption or downtime  Determination of timeline for restoration  Determination of resource needs for restoration  Establishment of restoration priorities  Temporary repairs or service continuity  Permanent repairs or replacement City leadership, in consultation with other jurisdictions and private sector partners, determines the most effective use of limited resources to restore infrastructure and services that protect life safety and facilitate meeting basic human needs. Other restoration priorities may include providing emergency aid to isolated communities or allowing the flow of emergency goods and services. When restoration is expected to be a lengthy process, the EOC may request assistance in providing alternate services such as provision of drinking water, electric generators, or mobile medical aid. Debris Management There are four principal phases of post-disaster debris management operations: 1. Debris Clearance and Removal: Debris management begins as soon as public works personnel and responders undertake debris clearance actions to allow emergency access for life safety and to protect property, infrastructure, and the environment. 2. Temporary Debris Storage: Large volumes of disaster debris or problem waste may need to be stored prior to processing and disposal. Locations of temporary storage sites may depend on the type of debris generated. 3. Debris Processing: Processing of debris is the separation of various waste and debris types and their preparation for disposal. Different types of disaster debris may be governed by varying rules and authorities. Construction and demolition debris is handled differently from hazardous waste or recyclable material. 4. Permanent Debris Disposal: Permanent disposal of debris and waste may make use of local and regional landfills or, depending on available capacity, may warrant the development of additional disposal sites. Another option is to haul disaster debris that cannot be recycled or otherwise reused to areas outside the Puget Sound Region. Property owners, businesses, and residents will also generate significant disaster waste from cleanup, demolition, and reconstruction. Higher than normal customer volumes should be expected at transfer stations and drop box facilities. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 196 All four phases are conducted in compliance with local, State, and Federal environmental regulations (except as waived for emergency) and in consultation with resource agencies and with Public Health Seattle-King County. The City of Renton may utilize existing City staff to manage the clearance, removal, and temporary storage of disaster debris. The Public Works Department will generally be the lead agency for Renton’s debris management efforts. Other departments, such as the Fire and Emergency Services Department or the Police Department, may undertake minor debris clearance or enlist Public Works support to facilitate unimpeded access for emergency response personnel. The City already contracts much of its debris disposal to private solid waste vendors. Waste Management Republic Services is a key partner in waste processing and disposal. High-impact disasters will require additional vendor support and/or increased coordination through the King County ECC and the King County Department of Natural Resources, Solid Waste Division. Regional debris management efforts are managed in accordance with the Seattle -King County Urban Area Debris Management Plan. Resources  Seattle-King County UASI Area Debris Management Plan AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 197 RSF 6. NATURAL AND CULTURAL RESOURCES The purpose of the Natural and Cultural Resources RSF to the City of Renton Disaster Recovery Plan is to guide actions to address post-disaster environmental issues that may impact recovery. Adverse environmental impacts are likely to exist during any disaster, and their implications for public health and community recovery are such that early containment and remediation will be a high priority for the City and its jurisdictional partners. This RSF establishes a framework for identifying and evaluating post-disaster environmental impacts and for developing strategies to work cooperatively to resolve them. In addition, the Natural and Cultural Resources RSF identifies departmental responsibilities for ensuring that community recovery and rebuilding are implemented in compliance with all applicable environmental rules and regulations. This RSF, like the Disaster Recovery Plan as a whole, applies to all City departments and provides an operational framework to guide coordinated environmental management efforts. The RSF supports and integrates State and Federal plans and programs that aid in recovery operations. Planning Assumptions  The Puget Sound Region is vulnerable to natural and man-made hazards, including acts of terrorism, which can result in significant and widespread damage to the natural environment.  Environmental damage may take the form of localized spills and releases or may have widespread impacts to natural resources such as waterways, wetlands, floodplains, reservoirs, and habitat and may adversely impact the quality of air and drinking water.  Environmental contamination may create dangers to the health and safety of the public as well as to emergency responders and other City staff.  Environmental damage may impede the progress of community recovery.  For the purposes of this RSF, it is assumed that the operational focus for recovery has shifted to long-term environmental remediation and mitigation and to addressing environmental concerns that do not pose an immediate life safety threat. Environmental impacts that pose an immediate threat to human life and safety will be addressed by response actions outlined in the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan.  Large-scale emergencies are likely to deplete local and regional recovery resources. Assistance from other cities and regions, from the State of Washington, and from the Federal Government will be requested as needed.  The Puget Sound Region is vulnerable to natural and man-made hazards, including acts of terrorism, which have the potential to create large volumes of debris over a widespread area. Guiding Principles [To be drafted in further updates] AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 198  Long-term coordination between environmental and resource agencies from all levels of government, tribes and other entities will be required occur to ensure that reconstruction and redevelopment comply with local, State, and Federal environmental regulations.  Environmental impacts that pose an immediate threat to human life and safety will be addressed by response actions outlined in the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan.  City departments will develop procedures and provide appropriate training to staff with designated roles and responsibilities in this RSF.  The City of Renton values cultural heritage and natural resources. Prioritize preservation where human life, health and safety are not compromised. Decision-Making Framework In most cases, more than one department will have a role in cleanup and remediation. With support from the EOC, other fire departments, an d private sector resources, Renton Fire and Emergency Services, is responsible for addressing hazardous materials spills and releases that pose an immediate threat to life safety. While these actions are covered in the Renton CEMP and are generally addressed during the disaster response phase, it is possible that latent environmental damages may require additional response actions well into long-term recovery. The Public Works Department manages environmental consequences to critical infrastructure (transportation, water, etc.), often with support from the Fire and Emergency Services Department and the EOC. Public Works also tests for safety of drinking water and manages the permitting processes for capital improvements and infrastructure restoration projects. The Community and Economic Development Department is responsible for conducting environmental reviews and ensuring compliance of citywide reconstruction efforts with State and Federal environmental regulations. These regulations usually apply to both public and private reconstruction efforts. These departments work closely with environmental and resource agencies from all levels of government, including Public Health Seattle-King County, the Washington State Department of Ecology, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and others. Key Considerations  Environmental damage to the natural or built environment may have far -reaching impacts to public health. Recovery Goals and Strategies The City of Renton addresses environmental consequences or damages as they are identified as part of the damage assessment process or as reported by the public. Environmental consequences from disasters may include:  Hazardous materials release or spills  Drinking water contamination AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 199  Airborne contamination  Agricultural runoff  Wetlands damage  Impacts to threatened and endangered species  Damage to historical and archaeological resources Many disaster recovery activities have the potential to impact the environment and therefore trigger environmental review at the local, State, and/or Federal level. These activities include:  Debris management  Repairs and reconstruction  New construction and redevelopment  Project work in waterways, wetlands, floodplains, or other environmentally sensitive areas Other environmental considerations include:  Hazardous materials  Air quality  Water quality  Endangered species  Historic preservation Projects that are funded on a cost-share basis with the Federal government will require an Environmental and Historic Preservation (EHP) Review. Depending on the type of project and its environmental impacts, the EHP process may take days or sometimes years. FEMA personnel conduct most reviews for Public Assistance and Hazard Mitigation projects, but City departments retain responsibility for ensuring compliance and obtaining all required environmental permits. Long-term environmental compliance will transition to normal departmental organization and functions over time. However, supplemental surge staffing may be required for much of the recovery process.

A G E N D A I T E M # 6 . h ) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 220 EMERGENCY SUPPORT FUNCTION 15: EXTERNAL AFFAIRS Primary Agency: City of Renton Executive Department Support Agencies: City of Renton Community Services Department City of Renton Police Department City of Renton Public Works Department Renton Regional Fire Authority King County Office of Emergency Management/Regional Communications and Emergency Coordination Center Washington State Emergency Management Division Introduction Purpose Emergency Support Function (ESF) 15 – Public Information is responsible for keeping the public information concerning a threatened or actual emergency situation and to provide 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 to coordinate information before it is released to the public and the news media. The purpose of Emergency Support Function 15 (ESF) is to establish uniform policies for the effective development, coordination and dissemination of information to the public in the event of a disaster. Scope The City of Renton’s public information requirements will be determined by the severity of the disaster or emergency as determined by the City of Renton Emergency Management Director. 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 state, county, local, private sector, media, and non-profit organizations. Public Information identifies those agencies and defines their responsibilities within the JIS. ESF 15 also addresses special considerations for communicating with significant segments of the population with limited English proficiency and those with access or functional needs. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 221 Policies  Public information activities will provide vital information citywide in a timely, consistent and unified method to state, county, local, private sector agencies, media, and non-profit organizations. Local jurisdictions will provide immediate and vital information to the general public and state, county, local, private and tribal organizations regarding response and recovery activities.  The City of Renton may start an emergency public information operation to augment or enhance the normal communications capabilities of the City.  The City of Renton aims to communicate messages in a manner which can be understood by its diverse population.  The City of Renton Executive Department has lead responsibility as the official spokesperson for city’s public information activities.  The City of Renton’s Public Information Officers (PIOs) may be located at the City of Renton EOC, in the Mayor’s Office, a Joint Information Center, or another location from which they may effectively coordinate the public information function of the City.  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. Situation Emergency/Disaster Hazards and Conditions The City of Renton and surrounding region will periodically experience emergency situations that require the coordinated dissemination of critical information to the public. 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. The means of dissemination include the news media (radio, television (including Channel 21 in Renton), cable, print), reverse dial telephone system mass notifications, the City of Renton’s website, social media applications, neighborhood information centers, and if warranted by situation, hand distribution. Potential emergency situations include natural, technological, and human-caused events. Public information is critical to alerting residents to an impending emergency, dire cting and informing them during the emergency, and assisting them in the response and recovery phases of the event. Planning Assumptions  The public needs timely and accurate information for protection of life and property during response to, and recovery from a disaster or emergency situation.  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 AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 222 situations non-traditional means of communicating with the public, such as radio, billboards, flyers, newsprint, and community networks, will be established and utilized.  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.  Technological limitations may prevent communication with the general public, including those with limited English proficiency and those with access or functional needs.  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 actually is because of the way the media covers the story, making it critical for agencies to coordinate key messages.  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.  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 and/or City of Renton Policy Advisory Group will direct key public information messages.  Regional events involving multiple agencies may be coordinated through the King County Joint Information Center or Joint Information System. Concept of Operation The following systems and procedures will be applicable to the response and recovery phase of any disaster or emergency situation.  The City of Renton will provide timely and vital information to the public regarding response and recovery activities.  To reduce inaccuracies and misinformation, the City of Renton will utilize a Joint Information System (JIS) to coordinate information with participating local, county, tribal, state, and federal agencies, and other organizations as required.  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 with the Mayor’s Office.  In a minor emergency incident, an on-scene PIO may be the only portion of the JIS utilized.  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 Mayor’s office. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 223  A JIC may be established by the City of Renton EOC or at the direction of the City of Renton Mayor’s Office 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. A JIC brings 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.  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 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.  PIOs serve as part of the JIS and coordinate information from their respective agencies regarding their involvement in the response and recovery operation of an emergency event and work in conjunction with the City of Renton Mayor’s Office to disseminat e and coordinate public information communications and messages.  PIOs, whether within a JIC or the City of Renton EOC, are responsible for 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; and preparing background information and fact sheets. PIOs work closely with the City of Renton Mayor’s Office, response agencies, and the City of Renton EOC Director (or the City of Renton Emergency Management staff if the EOC is not activated).  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.  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.  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.  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. Notifications Organization AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 224  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.  In a disaster or major emergency, the City of Renton Mayor’s Office will appoint or designate a trained Information Officer (IO) to coordinate the key messages and overall public information strategy for the JIS.  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) for the Policy Advisory Group. 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 or another designated City PIO will work with the City’s emergency management staff 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. Mitigation Activities None Preparedness Activities  Identify areas where public education programs (e.g., personal preparedness) are needed, inclusive of plans for first responders and f amilies.  Develop 24-hour shift change and staffing procedures and checklists for supporting agencies.  Identify emergency support function-specific training requirements.  Identify locations for media briefing.  Encourage city department’s spokespersons to attend public information courses.  Develop and maintain a roster of Public Information personnel, including shift change and staffing procedures and contact information (home address; telephone, cellular, and facsimile numbers; and email addresses).  Develop equipment lists.  List and maintain available media resources (station call letters, names, addresses, and telephone numbers) that will be used to disseminate emergency information to the public.

Appendices None AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 229 MAJOR CYPER INCIDENT ANNEX Primary Agency: City of Renton Administrative Services Department Support Agencies: City of Renton Executive Department City of Renton Police Department All other City of Renton Departments Introduction Background The City uses a variety of systems, services, and devices that reply 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. Policies  The Administrative 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.  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.  All City departments are expected to activity participate in continuity of operations planning that accounts for loss of information technology services. Continuity of operations planning must include identification of critical services and p rocedures for continuing those services during the loss or all or some of the City’s cyber infrastructure. Situation and Assumptions Emergency Conditions AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 230 The City’s vulnerability to a major cyber incident is directly related to the amount of planning and prevention activities that have been undertaken and the degree to which system users are able to rapidly detect, isolate, and report potential incidents. Emergency conditions related to a major cyber incident may be created from both internal and external sources and which have the potential to cause critical life safety and other essential services to fail. Planning Assumptions  The City has a robust cyber security and computer/internet use policy that is regularly updated to reflect best practices  The City provides training to all system users on acceptable use policies, social engineering awareness, and incident identification/notification procedures.  Major cyber incidents can occur with or without warning  Major cyber incidents may be malicious or accidental/inadvertent, but initial response must not be dependent on determining which.  Cyber vulnerabilities are both technological and human caused and will continue to exist regardless of the number of safeguards put in place and the amount of training conducted.  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.  Incidents may start and end on systems that are outside of the City’s direct control.  Close coordination with county, state, federal government partners, as well as private sector entities and NGOs will likely be required in a major cyber incident.

AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 237 Appendices None AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 238 DAMAGE ASSESSMENT ANNEX Primary Agency: City of Renton Human Resources and Risk Management Department Support Agencies: All Other City Departments City of Renton Court Services Renton Regional Fire Authority King County Office of Emergency Management/Regional Communications and Emergency Coordination Center Public Health – Seattle and King County Puget Sound Energy Seattle City light Washington State Emergency Management Division Introduction Purpose The purpose of this Annex is to establish uniform policies and procedures for damage and response capability assessment following an emergency or disaster within the City of Renton’s service area. Scope Disasters can cause injury to individuals, damage to public and private property, and the environment. Damage assessment will determine a priority of response efforts, the need for additional resources and facilitate smooth coordination and administration of recovery, reconstruction and redevelopment efforts. Eligibility for various forms of disaster aid will also be determined from the damage assessment efforts of this Annex. Policies Non-catastrophic Events Response Capability Assessment 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 Community and AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 239 Economic Development Department Human Resources and Risk Management Department or the Emergency Operation Center (EOC) if activated to evaluate the need for outside assistance to replace those resources lost to the event. The goal of the Response Capability Assessment is to be completed within one hour and can be performed by Fire & Emergency Services Renton Regional Fire Authority, Police, Public Works, Community Services, Community and Economic Development Human Resources and Risk Management Department, or other available City of Renton personnel. Initial Damage Assessment The Initial Damage Assessment is conducted immediately following the Response Capability Assessment. The Initial Damage Assessment 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. This information will then be forwarded to the City of Renton Community and Economic Development Department Human Resources and Risk Management Department or the City of Renton Emergency Operations Center (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 Office of Emergency Management/Regional Communications and Emergency Coordination Center. The goal of the Initial Damage Assessment is a completion time of three to six hours and can be performed by City of Renton Regional Fire & Emergency Services Department Authority, City of Renton Police Department, City of Renton Public Works Department, City of Renton Community Services Department, City of Community and Economic Development Department City of Renton Human Resources and Risk Management Department, or other available City of Renton personnel. Preliminary Damage Assessment (PDA) 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) must be completed and forwarded to the King County Office of Emergency Management/Regional Communications and Emergency Coordination Center. The PDA serves to further develop the status of 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. All structure assessments will utilize procedures as established under the Applied Technologies Council structure assessment program known as ATC - 20. The data AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 240 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. Results of the Initial Damage Assessment may identify the need for appropriately trained outside personnel to assist in the PDA. Targeted co mpletion time for the PDA is twenty-four (24) hours. Information gathered during this time will be forwarded to the City of Renton Human Resources and Risk Management Community and Economic Development Department and the City of Renton Emergency Operations Center (if activated). The City of Renton Fire & Emergency Services Department City of Renton Emergency Management Division will provide the compiled data to King County Office of Emergency Management/Regional Communications and Emergency Coordination Center. Detailed City Damage Assessment If the PDA results in a Presidential Disaster Declaration authorizing "Public Assistance," 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 City of Renton Human Resources and Risk Management Department Community and Economic Development Department and the City of Renton Emergency Operations Center (if activated). Eligible costs include but are not limited to those activities that go above and beyond normal job duties and are 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 Department will assemble teams comprised of Building Inspectors, Fire Inspectors, Public Works Engineers and Inspectors, and/or other personnel trained under ATC AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 241 procedures to inspect and placard damaged structures. Inspection records will also be kept in accordance with the ATC procedures. The inspection and placarding records created by these Inspectors will be compiled and submitted to King County Office of Emergency Management/Regional Communications and Emergency Coordination Center by the Fire & Emergency Services City of Renton Emergency Management Division Department, with duplicate copies being kept by the City of Renton for reference in recovery and reconstruction. Catastrophic Events As in non-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. It may be determined from these first two steps that the disaster is overwhelming and beyond the City of Renton’s resource capability to obtain the preliminary monet ary damage assessment as requested by King County. In this case, the Washington State Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 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 King County Office of Emergency Management/Regional Communications and Emergency Coordination Center to assess damage for Public and Individual Assistance in the city. Situation Emergency/Disaster Hazards and Conditions 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 City of Renton Hazard Mitigation Plan and include floods, winter storms, earthquakes, landslides and debris flows, volcanic hazards, coa l 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. Planning Assumptions  The emergency or disaster has caused enough damage to require an assessment of damages.  Not all damage will be immediately apparent.  Roads and other infrastructure may be seriously damaged and may hamper the ability of personnel to conduct timely and complete damage assessments. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 242 Concept of Operations General Response Capability Assessments, Initial Damage Assessment and 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 Human Resources and Risk Management City of Renton Community and Economic Development 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. The compiled damage assessments for the City of Renton will be forwarded by the City of Renton EOC (if activated) or by the city’s Executive Department Emergency Management division to King County Office of Emergency Management/Regional Communications and Emergency Coordination Center and on to Washington State Emergency Management Division to seek federal disaster assistance. Organization Damage assessment is coordinated by the City of Renton Human Resources and Risk Management Department Community and Economic Development Department in conjunction with the City of Renton EOC (if activated), and with the City of Renton Fire & Emergency Services Department Renton Regional Fire Authority or City of Renton Emergency Management Division Executive Department otherwise. The City of Renton Community and Economic Development Department’s Development Services Division will provide bu ilding damage assessment data to the City of Renton Human Resources and Risk Management Department City of Renton Emergency Executive Department Management Division. After compiling the assessments from all departments and the Renton Regional Fire Authority, the City of Renton Human Resources and Risk Management Department Community and Economic Department will work with the City of Renton EOC (if activated), or with the City of Renton Fire & Emergency Services Department City of Renton Executive Department Emergency Management Division otherwise, to separate the private and public damage, and forward the results to the King County Office of Emergency Management/Regional Communications and Emergency Coordination Center. The results (or anticipated results) of the PDA may determine if the city seeks a local emergency proclamation by the Mayor of the City of Renton. Procedures Response Capability Assessment and Initial Damage Assessment Survey These procedures are to be performed as outlined in the Policies section of this ESF. In addition, city personnel are instructed to report areas of damage they observe during response efforts, or while out in the field to their supervisor or to their department AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 243 representative in the City of Renton EOC. The EOC will then coordinate with the City of Renton Human Resources and Risk Management City of Renton Community and Economic Development Department to determine which level of damage assessment is appropriate to perform and will request assignment of the appropriate perso nnel. Damage assessment needs to be restarted 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 City of Renton Human Resources and Risk Management Community and Economic Development Department or the City of Renton EOC, if activated, or the City of Renton Executive Department Emergency Management Division or the City of Renton Fire & Emergency Services Department otherwise, will request detailed city damage assessments from all city departments/divisions. If determined to be necessary, Community and Economic Development Department City of Renton Human Resources and Risk Management Department Community and Economic Development Department with 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. The individual inspectors or teams will be assigned to perform rapid surveys, place appropriate placards on the buildings and prepare building damage assessment reports. The damage assessment reports will be forwarded to the City of Renton Human Resources and Risk Management Community and Economic Development Department and the City of Renton EOC, if activated otherwise the Fire & Emergency Services Departments City of Renton Executive Department Emergency Management Division. These reports will be shared with neighboring jurisdictions and the King County Office of Emergency Management/Regional Communications and Emergency Coordination Center according to EOC procedures. The ATC inspectors and/or teams for individual structures will determine where damage assessment is severe or difficult to determine and where the rapid survey will be required, followed by a detailed damage assessment by engineers paid for by the property owners. Damage Verification When the possibility of a Presidential Disaster Declaration is anticipated, the City of Renton Human Resources and Risk Management City of Renton Community and Economic Development Department will work together with the City of Renton Fire & Emergency Services Department City of Renton Executive Department Emergency Management Division to coordinate the collection of information within Renton for the PDA, including repair estimates for damages incurred to public facilities, systems and AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 244 infrastructure and all other costs incurred by city departm ents 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.

Appendices None AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 251 EVACUATION ANNEX Primary Agency: City of Renton Police Department Support Agencies: City of Renton Public Works Department City of Renton Community Services Department City of Renton Executive Department Renton Regional Fire Authority Introduction Purpose of Plan The purpose of this Evacuation Annex is to establish guidelines for use by the City of Renton to ensure the safe and orderly evacuation of residents who are threatened by an emergency or disaster. The goal is to move people, animals and resources from areas that are in danger to safety. Scope Geographic Scope This plan is an Annex to the City of Renton’s Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) and is designed to supplement the Emergency Support Functions contained in the CEMP. This Evacuation Annex is specific to the City of Renton; however it may apply to unincorporated areas for which the City provides fire and emergency medical services under contract. Currently this includes Fire Districts 25 and 40. While the City of Renton is not primarily responsible for evacuation of unincorporated areas, evacuations in these areas may occur related to an emergency response by the Fire & Emergency Services Department. Police service for the unincorporated areas is provided by the King County Sheriff’s Office and evacuation of those areas would need to be conducted in coordination with them. All areas covered in this Annex are located in King County. In addition to unincorporated areas, Renton shares boundaries with the cities of Kent, Tukwila, Newcastle, and Seattle. An evacuation that requires moving people out of City limits may require the involvement of King County and one or more of these cities. A map of the City and service areas is attached as Appendix A. Renton has natural hazards that must be considered in evacuation planning. The Cedar River runs through residential and commercial areas of the City. Portions of the business district are located in the flood plain of the Green River. The inundation impact of the Cedar River Flood Plain would be mostly residential, while the inundation impact of the Green River Flood Plain AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 252 would be mostly commercial. Inundation maps of the flood hazard areas for the Cedar and Green Rivers are attached as Appendix B. Renton has additional hazards that may impact evacuation pl anning. Numerous gas pipelines traverse the City, and while these do not represent a hazard under normal conditions, they may become a factor if destabilized by an earthquake, landslide, construction activity or other disruptive events. A map of gas pipelines is attached as Appendix C. 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. 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/facilities could be appropriate for staging areas, evacuee collection points or equipment relocations sites during an evacuation. These areas and facilities are marked on the different hazard maps. The City of Renton has a number of SARA Title II/Hazardous locations that should be considered when planning an evacuation route. Current information about these sites and their potential impact on an evacuation can be obtained from the Hazardous Materials Coordinator in the Fire & Emergency Services Department. Potential Evacuation Populations According to the Washington Office of Financial Management the population for Renton is 83,650 as of April 1, 2009. An additional 40,000 (approximately) people reside in the unincorporated areas served under contract by the Fire & Emergency Services Department. 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/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 AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 253 The City of Renton’s Evacuation Annex assumes that special or vulnerable populations and the people/facilities that care for them prepare on their own for disaster and evacuations in order to assure that their needs are adequately met. These populations include but are not limited to: low/limited English proficiency, 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 and the elderly. 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 and try re -wording messages if/when individuals do not understand. 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 t o tell them where to go and not explain the situation and/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 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 include: Chateau AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 254 at Valley Center, Merrill Gardens, The Lodge at Eagle Ridge, Renton Villa, ORA-MAC INC #2 and four facilities run by the Good Shepherd Lutheran Home. The Fire & Emergency Services Department has a list of these facilities and their contact information. Independent living facilities are not required to have evacuation/emergency plans or supplies. In Renton, these facilities include: Cedar River Court, Houser Terrace, Golden Pines, Hillcrest Terrace, Evergreen Terrace (all maintained by Renton Housing Authority) Cedar River Terrace, Spencer Court and Evergreen Place. 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/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, 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 a low -English proficiency which could make understanding the need for evacuations, evacuation routes and procedures challenging. There are 75 adult family homes within the City of Renton and 25 that are not within the City but are in the Fire & Emergency Services Department’s response areas. The Fire & Emergency Services Department has a list of these facilities including addresses and 24 hour contact numbers. 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 evacuation of nursing homes include a lack of beds/facilities to transport patients to, as well as transportation resources appropriate for nursing home 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 AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 255 at 2500 Lake Washington Blvd N, 98056. Griffin Home does have an emergency plan which includes the appropriate information per Washington State Law. The residents are males. 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 for temporary/long - term housing. Methadone Clinics There is one out-patient methadone clinic, the Renton Clinic, located at 2838 N.E. Sunset Blvd. If needed, Public Health – Seattle & King County assumes the lead for methadone clinics in disasters with regard to distribution, dosing, security and mobilizing roving distribution centers. Methadone distribution is strictly contro lled by the Federal Government and has high security issues (it is used as a recreational drug as well as an antidote to heroin). EMTs should not dispense or be responsible for methadone because of the legal ramifications and security issues. If an issue e merges with regard to methadone distribution, security or the Renton Clinic, contact Public Health – Seattle & King County immediately. Methadone treatment centers like the Renton Clinic are required by law to have disaster plans and staff trained in what to do in the event of an emergency. As of 2009, the Renton Clinic has a plan in place and staff trained in their emergency/disaster responsibilities. Renton City Hall Jail City Hall houses a jail below its first floor. Situations that would result in the need to evacuate include fire or major disaster. Law enforcement personnel will be in charge of the evacuation of the jail as well as the supervision, transportation and relocation of inmates. There are multiple options for evacuation of inmates in the jail. They include:  Optional early release of non-serious offenders  Optional furlough for non-serious offenders  Inmates relocated to other jail facilities: o King County jail system o Out of area jails with which the Police Department has pre -arranged agreements. These facilities include Yakima and Okanogan County. o Neighboring county jails such as Snohomish and Pierce County. However, there is no agreement in place with these facilities and they may decline the request. Parties Involved in Planning and Conducting an Evacuation This Evacuation Annex was developed by the Fire & Emergency Services Department’s Office of Emergency Management with input from other departments including Police, Public Works, Community & Economic Development and Community Services. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 256 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 support:  King County Office of Emergency Management  The cities of Kent, Tukwila, Newcastle, Maple Valley and Seattle  Renton School District  Kent School District  Issaquah School District  Federal Emergency Management Agency  Washington Emergency Management  American Red Cross (ARC)  Washington State Animal Response Team (WASART) The City maintains 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.

Critical Assumptions Regulatory Issues in the State of Washington Relevant to Conducting an Evacuation AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 258 If requested, Zone 3 partners and the King County Office of Emergency Management will endeavor to support the City of Renton with carrying out evacuation and sheltering activities and provide coordination with federal, state, volunteer and private agencies. Local Parameters This Annex will be used in conjunction with the City of Renton’s CEMP. Evacuation(s) will be conducted in accordance with the National Incident Management System (NI MS) and the National Response Framework (NRF) and will utilize the Incident Command System (ICS). Local Limitations 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 the situation occurs. 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.  Getting evacuation informational messages to the public will need to utilize multiple means of communications.  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/medically fragile people will need to be handled regionally. Public Health – Seattle & King County is the lead for this. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 259  The ARC does not staff special needs shelters but they may staff local shelters. Pets are not allowed in ARC shelters. Hazards All-Hazards This 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 affe cts more than the City of Renton. Hazards which pose specific risk to the City of Renton have been identified in the Hazard Identification Vulnerability Analysis within the City’s Hazard Mitigation Plan and the CEMP. Concept of Operations 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) six (6). 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 Zone 3 partners, King County and/or the State of Washington. Acknowledgment of State and Local Response Authorities County Upon request by the City of Renton, Zone 3 partners and/or the King County Office of Emergency Management will coordinate intra-county resources and support for evacuation and sheltering operations. State Upon request by the City of Renton, the State of Washington Emergency Management Division (Washington EMD) will support local government units with carrying out evacuation and sheltering activities. Washington EMD will coordinate with federal, state, volunteer and private agencies. Local At the local level four types of evacuations have been defined each requiring a different resource commitment. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 260 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 in cident 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 will become more critical. Evacuation perimeters and security of the evacuated area may be expanded and require more resources to maintain. The Emergency Operations Center (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 likely impacts multiple jurisdictions and may affect hundreds of thousands of people and a large geographic area. 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. Identification of Relevant Agencies Local AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 261 In the City of Renton an evacuation may be ordered by any of the following City officials or their designated alternates:  Mayor or delegate;  Chief Administrative Officer or delegate;  Department Administrator for Fire & Emergency Services, Police, Public Works, or Community Services or their delegate; or  Emergency Management Director or delegate. County If an evacuation is necessary in 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 with the City of Renton which provides fire and emergency services to unincorporated areas under contract and may assist with evacuation efforts. State During a state of emergency, the Governor can issue such orders as he or she deems necessary for the security of persons or property (Chapter 38.08, RCW, Powers and Duties of Governor). Incident Command System Incident Command System (ICS) The Incident Command System (ICS) structure will be implemented during an emergency evacuation. 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 (Unified Command).  Local to small regional evacuation requiring coordination with other affected jurisdictions and King County (Area Command).  Large regional evacuation requiring coordination at the local, state and federal level (Incident Management Team). Inter-Agency Communication Systems and Procedures AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 262 The Fire & Emergency Service Department is the primary agency responsible for the Inter-Agency Communication Systems and Procedures as outlined in the City of Renton CEMP’s ESF two (2). Public Communications The Executive Department, Communications Division, is the primary agency responsible for public communications as outlined in the City of Renton’s CEMP ESF 15. 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 emerg ency 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 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 and 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:  Alert - Affected areas are warned of current or projected threats. Businesses and residents with special needs, mobile property, business stock, and pets or AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 263 livestock should begin precautionary movement. The decision to evacuate remains with the individual resident.  Request – An evacuation Request 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. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 264  Provide the EOC with current status and request support if needed. Logistics 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. Finance 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 decision to evacuate, warn and notify rests with the IC. The IC will immediately advise his/her Administrator, who will advise the Mayor. 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 all planning associated with the evacuation, including identification of alternate routes, en-route support and planning for re-entry. Operations All communication efforts will follow the protocols outlined in ESF two (2) – Communications and ESF 15 – Public Affairs. Decisions regarding methods of notification and warning will be made depending on the scale and immediacy of the evacuation and the resources available. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 265 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 disaste r 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. 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 to determine whether Unified Command with other organizations is necessary. Command will also have the responsibility for approving the evacuation plan created by the Planning Section. Planning The Planning Section will be responsible for all evacuation planning for which pre-plans do not exist, in cooperation with all involved departments and agencies. 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 two (2) addresses communications, information systems and warning.  Implementation of a building marking/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. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 266  Procedures to identify and credential those with authority to travel in restricted areas (emergency vehicles, essential personnel, etc.).  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/recording system and critical life safet y 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. Operations – Preparation to Move 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 AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 267  Other Agency Liaison Groups  Other Divisions and Groups as necessary 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. 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 cannot evacuate by private vehicle as well as special needs populations. The City of Renton owns limited transportation assets that could be used for evacuation. The Regional Disaster Plan 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 OEM. 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 AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 268 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/departments to identify evacuation points, shelter locations and transportation routes. 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 en-route, such as variable message boards;  Minimal number of potentially hazardous points and bottlenecks, such as bridges, lane reductions, etc.; and  Access to needed en-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, 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. AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 269 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. Law enforcement resources may be needed at pick-up and drop-off points and to facilitate the movement of en-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 The Logistics Section will respond to all requested logistical needs and will look ahead to identify future resource needs and availability based on information pro vided 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 Community Services Department is the primary agency responsible for ESF six (6) but would likely seek support from regional resources such as the ARC and other non-profit or private organizations. Planning The City will partner with the ARC to provide general population shelter facilities. The City will utilize City employees as shelter workers pursuant to ESF six (6) and will AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 270 augment 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. Operations 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. 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 in formation 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. 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 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 The impacted areas must be thoroughly investigated to ensure it is sa fe 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; AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 271  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; and  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 two (2) and ESF 15. 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, included 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. 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. 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 AGENDA ITEM #6. h) City of Renton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 272 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 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. An Emergency Proclamation issued by the Mayor may suspend select rules and regulations affecting purchasing. All costs incurred in conducting an evacuation must be stringently documented in order 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 eve nt. Plan Review and Maintenance Planning is an ongoing process. This 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 four 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 This Evacuation Annex will be incorporated in trainings and exercises in accordance with the City’s multi-year training and exercise schedule and in accordance with HSEEP guidelines.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Refer to Finance Committee DEPARTMENT: Human Resources / Risk Management STAFF CONTACT: Ellen Bradley-Mak, Administrator EXT.: 7657 FISCAL IMPACT SUMMARY: Expenditure required: $420,000 Amount budgeted: $420,000 SUMMARY OF ACTION: The City of Renton provides medical coverage through a self -funded arrangement, which means that the City pays for claims out of the Renton Employee Healthcare Plan fund by utilizing a third -party administrator to process claims. To preserve the fiscal stability of the plan, it is necessary to carry excess loss insurance coverage to protect the City from the unforeseen cost of high-dollar claims. In 2017 the City used Symetra for this coverage. For 2018, Optum was the successful bidder. The premium for excess loss coverage for the City of Renton self-funded medical plan is renewing at a decrease of 5.1% to current rates. The individual deductible stop loss amount will continue to be $250,000, which provides coverage to the plan for high-dollar claims that exceed that amount. EXHIBITS: A.

AGENDA ITEM #6. i) AGENDA ITEM #6. i) AB - 2038 City Council Regular Meeting - 04 Dec 2017 SUBJECT/TITLE: Wage and benefits change for temporary and seasonal employees RECOMMENDED ACTION: Refer to Finance Committee DEPARTMENT: Human Resources / Risk Management STAFF CONTACT: Ellen Bradley-Mak, Administrator EXT.: 7657 FISCAL IMPACT SUMMARY: The cost of providing the state mandated sick leave compensation is dependent upon the extent to which temporary and seasonal employees use accrued sick leave. If all seasonal and temporary employees fully utilize the new state mandated sick leave compensation, the value of sick leave compensation would be equal to approximately 2.5% of their total compensation (1/40th). Those costs will be offset by the elimination of general leave, which provides roughly an equivalent amount of paid leave to longer term temporary and seasonal employees. Currently, temporary and seasonal employees that work less than 1600 hours over two years for the City do not accrue any form of paid leave. SUMMARY OF ACTION: With the passage of state Initiative 1433, all employees in the State of Washington are eligible to accrue one sick leave hour for every 40 hours worked, starting January 1, 2018. Although regular employees already receive a sick leave bank that exceeds this standard, this health benefit will be new for the city's temporary and seasonal employees. Written policies will be administratively adopted to address notice requirements, leave increment use, and tracking in compliance with the final regulations. Additionally, in 2018 the City will discontinue the policy allowing general leave benefit accrual for temporary employees, however, current employees with a general leave balance or who earned general leave for hours worked in 2016 or 2017, will be able to use their available balances until December 31, 2018. All temporary employees and their supervisors will be notified in writing of the change in leave policy and the new sick leave benefit. Council approval of the change in monetary benefits is required. EXHIBITS: A. Initiative 1433 B. Resolution STAFF RECOMMENDATION: AGENDA ITEM #6. j) Adopt the attached resolution recommended by staff to authorize the replacement of “general leave” for temporary and seasonal employees with sick leave compensation that complies with state Initiative 1433. AGENDA ITEM #6. j) 1 AN ACT Relating to fair labor standards; amending RCW 49.46.005, 49.46.020, 49.46.090, 49.46.100, and 49.46.120; adding new sections to chapter 49.46 RCW; prescribing penalties; and providing an effective date. BE IT ENACTED BY THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON: NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. It is the intent of the people to establish fair labor standards and protect the rights of workers by increasing the hourly minimum wage to $11.00 (2017), $11.50 (2018), $12.00 (2019) and $13.50 (2020), and requiring employers to provide employees with paid sick leave to care for the health of themselves and their families. Sec. 2. RCW 49.46.005 and 1961 ex.s. c 18 s 1 are each amended to read as follows: (1) Whereas the establishment of a minimum wage for employees is a subject of vital and imminent concern to the people of this state and requires appropriate action by the legislature to establish minimum standards of employment within the state of Washington, therefore the legislature declares that in its considered judgment the health, safety and the general welfare of the citizens of this state require the enactment of this measure, and exercising its police power, the legislature endeavors by this chapter to establish a minimum wage for employees of this state to encourage employment opportunities within the state. The provisions of this chapter are enacted in the exercise of the police power of the state for the purpose of protecting the immediate and future health, safety and welfare of the people of this state. (2) Since the enactment of Washington's original minimum wage act, the legislature and the people have repeatedly amended this chapter to establish and enforce modern fair labor standards, including periodically updating the minimum wage and establishing the forty-hour workweek and the right to overtime pay. Initiative Measure No. 1433 filed January 22, 2016 AGENDA ITEM #6. j) 2 (3) The people hereby amend this chapter to conform to modern fair labor standards by establishing a fair minimum wage and the right to paid sick leave to protect public health and allow workers to care for the health of themselves and their families. PART I ESTABLISHING FAIR LABOR STANDARDS BY INCREASING THE MINIMUM HOURLY WAGE TO $11.00 (2017), $11.50 (2018), $12.00 (2019) AND $13.50 (2020) Sec. 3. RCW 49.46.020 and 1999 c 1 s 1 are each amended to read as follows: (1) ((Until January 1, 1999, every employer shall pay to each of his or her employees who has reached the age of eighteen years wages at a rate of not less than four dollars and ninety cents per hour. (2) Beginning January 1, 1999, and until January 1, 2000, every employer shall pay to each of his or her employees who has reached the age of eighteen years wages at a rate of not less than five dollars and seventy cents per hour.

The budgeted amount of $5,500,000 will also cover a portion of the construction cost of the reservoir, which is anticipated to begin in late 2018 with completion in December 2019. SUMMARY OF ACTION: The Water Utility requests the approval of Amendment No. 3 to CAG -16-134 with Murraysmith, Inc. in the amount of $614,413 for the final design of the Kennydale 320 Zone Reservoir Project. The new reservoir will be co-located on City-owned property, which was purchased for the new Kennydale Fire Station 15 located at 1404 North 30th Street. The reservoir is necessary to provide water supply reliability, operational flexibility, pressure surge control and increase storage capacity in the Kennydale area for fire protection and domestic usage. The Water Utility advertised for requests for proposals and statement of qualifications using the Municipal Research and Services Center (MSRC) website, in accordance with City Policy 250-02.

RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute Amendment No. 3 to CAG-16-134 with Murraysmith, Inc. in the amount of $614,413 for the final design of the Kennydale 320 Zone Reservoir Project. BACKGROUND SUMMARY: As part of the six-year Capital Improvement Program and the current Water System Plan Update, the Water Utility has planned and budgeted funding for the design and construction of a new reservoir in the Kennydale area. The new reservoir will be co-located on City-owned property, which was purchased for the new Kennydale Fire Station 15 located at 1404 North 30th Street. The reservoir is necessary to provide water supply reliability, operational flexibility, pressure surge control and increase storage capacity in the Kennydale area for fire protection and domestic usage. In 2016 the Water Utility conducted a request for proposals and statement of qualifications using the Municipal Research and Services Center (MSRC) website, in accordance with City Policy 250-02. Murraysmith, Inc., previously known as Murray, Smith & Associates, Inc., was selected to perform professional engineering services for the preliminary design, final design and services during construction for the Kennydale 320 Zone Reservoir. AGENDA ITEM #6. o) Mr. Pavone, Council President Page 2 of 3 November 17, 2017 /AGmc In August 2016 the City entered into an agreement CAG-16-134 with Murray, Smith & Associates, Inc. in the amount of $419,500 for the pre-design of the reservoir. In March 2017 the City executed Amendment No. 1 in the amount of $ 58,227 for additional engineering work related to additional water transmission mains needed to maintain current water system pressure with a reduction in reservoir height limit imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration. The revised total contract amount was $477,727. In June 2017 the City executed Amendment No. 2 with no cost increase to accommodate the consultant’s name change to Murraysmith, Inc. In October 2017 Murraysmith, Inc. completed the pre-design plans and other engineering studies and reports related to the project. Water Utility staff has reviewed the pre-design plans and project report, and determined that the deliverables met all contract requirements, were of high quality and met the contract budget and schedule. The Water Utility requests Council’s approval of Amendment No. 3 with Murraysmith, Inc. in the amount of $614,413 for the final design of the Kennydale 320 Zone Reservoir Project. The revised contract amount including Amendment No. 3 would be $1,092,140. This is consistent with the City’s original advertisement for statement of qualifications and request for proposals, which included provisions for the City to negotiate pre-design, additional tasks, final design and services during construction. Under Amendment No. 3 Murraysmith, Inc. will perform the final design of the project and provide final plans and contract specifications for the Water Utility to advertise the project for construction bids. It is anticipated that the construction of the reservoir will begin in late 2018 with completion at the end of 2019, approximately one year after the completion of the new Fire Station 15. The major tasks to be performed by the consultant under this amendment include: Project management and coordination of design and review activities between the City, consultant, sub-consultants and other stakeholders to ensure compliance with the scope, budget and schedule of the contract. Public outreach support associated with the project, including meetings and an open house with the public and the Kennydale community, developing and maintaining a project website and briefings to the City Council and to the Municipal Arts Commission. Final design of reservoir and off-site utilities including civil plans and specifications for off-site water main improvements, site grading, storm drainage facilities, reservoir foundation, floor, shell, roof, reservoir piping, structural, mechanical, electrical and telemetry systems. AGENDA ITEM #6. o) Mr. Pavone, Council President Page 3 of 3 November 17, 2017 /AGmc Permitting support and services during bidding of project. Funding for this amendment will come from the approved 2017 Water Utility Capital Improvement Program budget for the Kennydale 320 Reservoir Project (425.455606). The budgeted amount of $5,500,000 will also cover a portion of the construction cost of the reservoir, which is anticipated to begin in late 2018 with completion in December 2019. CONCLUSION: The Kennydale Reservoir is needed to provide water supply reliability, operational flexibility and additional storage capacity for fire protection and domestic usage. Council’s approval of Amendment No. 3 to CAG-16-134 with Murraysmith, Inc. for the final design of the Kennydale 320 Zone Reservoir is needed in order for the Water Utility to advertise the project for construction bids and to start construction of the project in late 2018 with anticipated completion by the end of 2019. cc: Lys Hornsby, Utility Systems Director Abdoul Gafour, Water Utility Engineering Manager Eric Ott, Water Utility Engineer Hai Nguyen, Finance Analyst Teresa Phelan, Sr. Program Specialist Melissa Crawford, Administrative Secretary I AGENDA ITEM #6. o) 1,765 147 Vicinity Map - Kennydale Reservoir This map is a user generated static output from an Internet mapping site and is for reference only.

The new reservoir will also provide pressure surge control in the water distribution system. Currently, water supply to the Kennydale area is provided from two reservoirs in the Highlands area and through several pressure reducing valve (PRV) stations and two transmission mains that cross under I-405. The water system is subject to potential water pressure surges that can cause damage to the water system. The two transmission mains under I-405 may be susceptible to damage and breaks during a seismic event, which will cause an interruption of water supply to the Kennydale area. The new reservoir will be constructed on City-owned property at 1404 N 30th Street, which was purchased for a new fire station in the Kennydale area. The current vacant property is approximately 1.09 acres (47,532 sf) and the reservoir site will be located on the north portion of the property, which is approximately 0.38 acres (16,482 sf). Murraysmith is completing the preliminary design phase of the project under a separate contract (CAG-16-134). The project report being prepared under this prior phase, which includes a geotechnical report and site survey, documents the design criteria and decisions made during preliminary design. The proposed reservoir will have a 50-foot diameter with a total height of approximately 103 feet. The base of the reservoir will be supported by auger cast piles about 78 feet deep. The project includes a below-grade stormwater detention facility and off-site water system improvements that will convert a portion of the 320 Zone to a new 308 Zone with approximately 4,400 linear feet of 6-inch, 8-inch, 12-inch and 16-inch diameter ductile iron pipes and two PRV stations. Murraysmith was also selected by the City through the project’s Request for Proposal process to provide engineering services for the final design of the reservoir using information from the above- referenced project report as the basis to develop detailed plans and specifications for construction. The design and construction of the new reservoir will be coordinated with the City of Renton’s Facilities Division and its contractors as they are constructing the new fire station on the same property for the Renton Regional Fire Authority. - 3 AGENDA ITEM #6. o) City of Renton MURRAYSMITH Kennydale Reservoir Final Design October 31, 2017 2 Exh A - Scope - Kennydale Reservoir Final Design 10-31-17.docx This Scope of Work presents Murraysmith’s approach to prepare the final design plans and bid documents and to provide professional services during the bidding of the Kennydale Reservoir project.

The image of a thriving, opportunity-rich community takes form as different elements of that Vision come into focus:  A sustainable city that promotes economic vitality, environmental quality, social equity, and resiliency;  A community that is healthy and safe, that has cohesive, well-established neighborhoods and a growing variety of housing to match the diversity of the population with its various needs and wants;  A working town with a full spectrum of employment opportunities for all economic segments, regardless of education, age, gender, or ethnicity;  A regional center for active and passive recreation that features 1access for all to a healthy river, a clean lake, abundant trees, and clear mountain views to enhance the experience; and  A well-connected place that builds cohesive networks, in the form of: partnerships that enhance community resources; transportation and recreation facilities that connect through trails, sidewalks, and streets; and local business, volunteer, and neighborhood organizations that bring people together. RELATIONSHIP TO THE GMA AND VISION 2040 The State of Washington adopted the Growth Management Act (GMA) in 1990. This legislation requires comprehensive plans to include specific elements; obligates cities to adopt implementing regulations and counties to develop Countywide Planning Policies (CPP’s) to address issues of a regional nature. King County’s CPPs ensure consistency for addressing issues that cross jurisdictional boundaries within the County. In addition to the GMA and CPP’s, the multicounty planning policies of Vision 2040 greatly influence the content and policies of comprehensive plans. Developed by the Puget Sound Regional Council, Vision 2040 is the long-range growth management, environmental, economic, and transportation plan intended to guide future employment and population growth for the central Puget Sound region. The content, analyses, goals, and policies of Renton’s Comprehensive Plan were developed in conformance with the GMA, King County’s Countywide Planning Policies, and Vision 2040. RENTON WITHIN THE REGION Renton’s city government, business community, and residents are infused with a passionate belief that this is the best place to be. There is also the will, desire, and resources to nurture the qualities that make it great and to make it even better in the future. At the center of Renton’s Vision is the underlying principle that urban living provides both choice and balanced opportunities for employment, housing, recreation, health, goods, and services. As Renton grows beyond a community of 100,000 residents, development patterns will continue to shift from traditional suburban forms to more urban forms. Regional growth continues to shape Renton’s landscape and the City has a responsibility to ensure adequate land capacity to allow expansion and diversification of its employment and economic base, as well as its housing stock. Policies encourage maximum land efficiency and strive for development that is more intense than typical suburban prototypes. Future residential and commercial growth is directed to the City Center and to mixed- use areas that already exist throughout the City. Expansion of Renton’s employment and economic base will continue through redevelopment in the City AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) VISION PAGE 2 CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Center and the Valley. The development of small business and industry in Renton will also diversify and strengthen the local economy. Renton’s City Center is located at the hub of commerce and transportation networks and designated as a Regional Growth Center for employment and housing. A revitalized Downtown that functions as a 24-hour living, working, and entertainment area will emerge through planning for a balance of residential, commercial, and office uses with a distinctive, local identity. Development north of Downtown, near the Landing, will contribute to the vitality of the City Center by serving regional needs for shopping, entertainment, housing, and employment. Outside of the City Center in areas currently dominated by commercial strip development, higher density mixed-use development will establish neighborhood-scale living, working, and entertainment nodes, such as the Sunset Area of the Renton Highlands. Mixed-use centers and neighborhood nodes will reduce transportation impacts within the City by allowing residents to work and shop close to where they live, as well as, provide alternatives to single-occupant vehicle trips. While new multi-family and mixed-use housing in the City Center and established neighborhood nodes will help to accommodate housing growth, single-family housing stock will grow through infill development. Single-family infill development also allows for the necessary densities to provide services at the edge of the urban area. Renton is proud of the diversity of its population and requires a full-range of housing types to accommodate people of different ages, incomes, and ethnic groups. Housing Renton’s growing population will require approaches that allow for a variety of housing types, maintain the ability to provide high levels of service, and ensure a high quality of life in Renton’s new and established neighborhoods. One of the ways to sustain quality of life and respond to the diverse needs of the community is through community planning. The City is divided into ten geographically distinct community planning Areas. Through the Community Planning process, residents, businesses, and other stakeholders develop a local vision and establish policies that address issues of growth, quality of life, design, and capital improvements as they affect the Community Planning Area. Meeting and working together can also help to build community connections and strengthen neighborhood cohesiveness. Beyond local needs, there are City goals to enhance the character of the City and improve overall quality of life. Renton is a safe, healthy, and attractive community that promotes good design, abundant tree cover and landscaping, and civic art. Neighborhoods are well-maintained and have strong ties that have been nurtured through the City Neighborhood Program. Quality parks and open space meet the recreational needs of residents. Trails, bike paths, sidewalks, and transit tie neighborhoods together and make it possible to travel without a car. Renton enjoys high levels of service in all areas and the cost of implementation is shared in an equitable manner. There is an abiding commitment to protect, restore, and enhance environmental quality because the many natural features of the City are deeply appreciated by its residents. Renton participates in regional efforts to improve sustainability and, at the local level, make it easier for businesses and residents to pursue environmentally friendly methods by which to live and work. Policies, plans, and programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, support the use of renewable resources and energy, and increase access to locally grown food, make a difference in the health of Renton’s residents and makes the community more resilient when faced with natural or human-made disasters. The City of Renton’s Vision is ambitious and far- sighted; it is the underlying structure for the Comprehensive Plan, the Renton Business Plan, and all other plans and strategies made by the City. AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) LAND USE ELEMENT CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGE 3 LAND USE ELEMENT - Guiding future growth and development to ensure our community flourishes - DISCUSSION Under the Growth Management Act (RCW 36.70a) Renton has an obligation to meet the demands of local and regional growth. Managing growth is not an endeavor that Renton takes on alone. The Puget Sound Regional Council’s VISION 2040 establishes goals and policies that tie the region together and support people, prosperity, and the environment. Through the Countywide Planning Policies, King County jurisdictions further define their roles in accommodating growth using sustainable and environmentally responsible development practices. Renton’s Comprehensive Plan outlines the ways that these goals and policies combine with our unique community Vision to be the center of opportunity where families and businesses thrive. MEETING DEMANDS OF GROWTH GOALS Goal L-A: Comply with the Countywide Planning Policies established by the Puget Sound Regional Council and the Countywide Planning Policies adopted by King County. Goal L-B: Continue to build Renton’s Regional Growth Center consistent with VISION 2040 to provide compact, pedestrian-oriented, mixed-use development to meet the demands of population and employment growth, while reducing the transportation related and environmental impacts of growth. Goal L-C: Ensure sufficient land capacity to meet the growth targets, as shown in Table L-1.

RHD unit types are designed to incorporate features from both single family and multifamily developments, support cost-efficient housing, facilitate infill development, have close access to transit service, and efficiently use urban service s and infrastructure. Land designated RHD is where projects will be compatible with existing uses and where infrastructure is adequate to handle impacts from higher density uses.  Residential-10 Zone – Zone lands Residential-10 (R-10) where there is an existing mix of single family and small-scale multifamily use or there are vacant or underutilized parcels that could be redeveloped as infill and are located within ¼ mile of public transit service and a major arterial. R-10 implements the Residential High Density land use designation.  Residential-14 Zone – Zone lands Residential-14 (R-14) where it is possible to develop a mix of compact housing types in areas of approximately 20 acres or larger in size (may be in different ownerships) or are within or adjacent to a Growth Center. The zone functions as a transition zone between lower intensity residential and higher intensity mixed use zoning. R-14 implements the Residential High Density land use designation.  Residential Multifamily Zone – Zone lands Residential Multi Family (RMF) where there is existing (or vested) multifamily development of one-acre or greater in size. Expanded RMF zoning should only be where access is from a street classified as a Principal arterial, Minor arterial, or Collector, and where existing multifamily is abutting at least two property sides. RMF zoning implements the Residential High Density land use designation.  Commercial Neighborhood Zone – Zone lands Commercial Neighborhood (CN) that provide goods and services on a small-scale to a surrounding residential neighborhood and that front on a street classified as a Principal arterial, Minor arterial, or Collector. Expanded CN zoning should only be where there is opportunity to provide small limited -scale commercial opportunity to the immediately surrounding residential community that would not result in an increase in scale or intensity, which would alter the character of the nearby residential neighborhood. The CN zone implements the Residential High Density land use designation.

Allow residential uses as part of mixed-use developments, and support new office and commercial development that is more intensive than what exists to create a vibrant district and increase employment opportunities. The intention of this designation is to transform strip commercial development into business districts through the intensification of uses and with cohesive site planning, landscaping, signage, circulation, parking, and the provision of public amenity features.  Commercial Arterial Zone – Zone lands Commercial Arterial (CA) where a historical strip pattern dominates, characterized by large surface parking in front of buildings, long blocks oriented to automobiles, and an incomplete street grid. CA zoning should be located within one-quarter mile of transit, provide employment, and allow mixed-use development. CA zoning implements the Commercial Mixed Use and Employment Area land use designations.  Center Downtown Zone – Zone Land Center Downtown (CD) within downtown Renton that is appropriate for the widest mix of uses, is served by transit, and is suitable for intensive urban use within a pedestrian environment. The Center Downtown zone is intended to revitalize the area by creating a vibrant, urban center in Renton’s historic downtown core. Surface parking is discouraged in this zone, except as a land bank. CD zoning implements the Commercial Mixed Use land use designation.  Center Village Zone – Zone lands Center Village (CV) that are characterized by an existing commercial and multifamily core served by transit and set in the midst of suburban patterns of residential development or in Renton’s Downtown. CV zoned lands are suitable for redevelopment into compact urban development with a pedestrian -oriented, mixed-use center, and community focal point. The zone is intended to revitalize an area, creating a vibrant, urban center where surface parking is discouraged. CV zoning implements the Commercial and Mixed Use designation.  Urban Center Zone – Zone lands that are located within Renton’s Designated Regional Growth Center, if there is a potential for the creation of dense employment, destination retail, recreation, or public gathering space with the Urban Center (UC) zone. The Urban Center zoned areas have large parcels of land with the potential for large scale redevelopment opportunities that will create a mixed-use retail, employment, and residential center. UC zoning implements the Commercial Mixed Use land use designation.  Commercial Office Zone – Zone large parcels of land, that are highly visible from arterials or highways and located on existing or planned transit routes, for Commercial Office (CO) if they contain, or are suitable for medium- to high-intensity office use. Limited residential mixed-use development is allowed in close proximity to select transit services. This zone implements the Commercial Mixed Use and Employment Area land use designations.

Transportation investments shape development patterns that, in turn, influence the economic health, safety, and character of a community. The design, construction, and maintenance of city streets, roads, sidewalks, trails and other transportation facilities impact all Renton residents, employees, and visitors. For many decades, transportation problems have been seen primarily as engineering problems with engineering solutions. As a result, transportation planning has been primarily concerned with the construction of new facilities – mostly roads but also transit, airport, and rail facilities – and has relied on gas taxes to fund the construction. However, our current transportation challenges are different. The facilities built in preceding decades are reaching the end of their design life and require maintenance, rehabilitation, or retrofitting. Securing revenue for transportation investments is increasingly difficult as the purchasing power of gas tax revenue has eroded steadily over time along with the increasing difficulty of generating greater revenue through taxes. The public’s concerns about transportation issues have also expanded beyond cost and mobility to include neighborhood impacts, sustainability, and accommodations for all types of users. There is growing demand for alternatives to single-occupancy vehicles and reducing the impacts of transportation on the environment. While specific responsibility and authority for transportation choices is divided amongst various governments and agencies, users expect local and regional transportation facilities to function as a unified system. Achieving that requires coordination with federal, state, regional, county, and municipal stakeholders and decision makers. Renton has been designated a Core City by the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC). A Core City contains a regionally designated growth center – Renton’s Urban Center encompassing Boeing, The Landing, and Downtown Business District – serves as a key hub for the region’s long-range multimodal transportation system, and also provides major civic, cultural, and employment centers. Downtown Transit Center, Credit: City of Renton This Transportation Element assists the City of Renton in coordinating transportation and land use planning within its municipal boundaries, guides development of a multimodal system that provides transportation choices for all users, and facilitates interjurisdictional coordination of transportation related projects. This element is consistent with Puget Sound Regional Council’s VISION 2040 and Transportation 2040. This Transportation Element includes goals and policies addressing the following topics:  Framework and General Goals  Maintenance, Management and Safety  Transportation Demand Management Transportation planning seeks to “protect and enhance the environment, promote energy conservation, improve the quality of life, and promote consistency between transportation improvements and State and local planned growth and economic development.” Federal Highway Administration.

Safety planning and mitigation, including strategies for protecting the transportation system from disasters, includes multidisciplinary efforts that can significantly improve the livability of our community. POLICIES Policy T-6: Establish essential maintenance, preservation and safety improvements of the transportation systems as a high priority. Policy T-7: Ensure maintenance and preservation of the transportation systems are high priorities in resource allocations. Maintain and preserve the transportation system mindful of life-cycle costs associated with delayed maintenance. Policy T-8: Develop and coordinate prevention and recovery strategies and disaster response plans with regional and local agencies to protect the transportation system against major disruptions. Policy T-9: Optimize the performance of the transportation network and improve efficiency and safety for various travel modes through signal timing coordination, signal retiming on a regular basis, maintenance and capital replacement programs, and other operational improvements of existing and planned transportation facilities. TRANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT Transportation Demand Management (TDM) focuses on more effectively using existing and planned transportation capacity, ensures compatibility with planned uses, helps accommodate growth consistent with community character and land use objectives, offers alternatives to Single Occupancy Vehicle (SOV) travel, and serves to mitigate impacts and better meet mobility needs. Reducing trip-making, dispersing peak period travel demand throughout the day, and increasing transit usage and ride sharing are significantly less costly means of accommodating increased travel demands than constructing new or widening existing transportation facilities. Reducing the number of trips made via single occupant vehicles is also an effective way of reducing automobile-related air pollution, traffic congestion and energy use. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) can be used to apply technological solutions to problems such as congestion, safety, and mobility. Substantial investment in ITS – such as signs and internet sites providing real time feedback on travel times and alternatives – continues in the Puget Sound Region. The City is currently developing plans to implement an Adaptive Signal Control System (ASCS) along the SW 43rd Street/Carr Road/Petrovitsky Road corridor as was installed on Rainier Avenue S. Adaptive signal control systems adjust the timing of intersection stop lights (green, yellow, red lights) to accommodate changing traffic patterns and ease traffic congestion (FHWA 2015). The location and supply of parking is an integral part of the local transportation system and TDM strategies are important to commerce and private enterprise. Inadequate parking can increase congestion on streets as people circle and look for available spaces. Too much parking can deter use of alternative travel modes, including transit. A proper balance needs to be achieved between parking supply and demand. Providing for “right size” parking ratios based on a district’s land use intensity and access to transit is important to community character and mobility, and can help reduce total costs of development. Satellite parking with shuttle services and collective structured parking are potential physical methods for managing and increasing the parking supply. For example, Boeing currently utilizes shuttle service to the plant from off-site parking areas. AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT PAGE 19 CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Opportunities to reduce SOV travel are particularly found in Renton’s mixed use centers. Regional plans call for Regional Growth Centers such as Renton’s to work towards reducing SOV shares. In 2014, PSRC estimated the following work trip mode shares in Renton’s Regional Growth Center as of a 2010 base year (percentages are rounded):  SOV: 82%  HOV: 9%  Walk and Bike: 3%  Transit: 7% POLICIES Policy T-10: Implement transportation demand management (TDM) programs to reduce disruptive traffic impacts and to support mixed-use development, commercial centers, and employment areas. Policy T-11: Through investments in non-motorized facility connections, collaboration with transit providers, and commute trip reduction programs with employers, encourage a reduction in drive alone work trip shares to below 75% by 2035 within the Regional Growth Center. Policy T-12: Invest in and maintain Renton’s Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Program coordinated with other agencies. Policy T-13: Incorporate TDM measures such as priority parking places for HOVs and convenient, direct pedestrian access from transit stops/stations in site design and layout for all types of development. Policy T-14: Educate employers about their commute trip reduction obligations under the City of Renton’s Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) Ordinance and CTR Plan. Policy T-15: Regularly review and refine parking ratios to account for existing parking supply, land use intensity, and access to transit. Policy T-16: Encourage shared and structured parking in downtown Renton to achieve land use and economic development goals as expressed in the City Center Community Plan and to coordinate parking for the benefit of the district businesses and residents. STREET NETWORK INVENTORY Federal and State highways such as I-405, SR-900 (Sunset Boulevard), SR-169 (Maple Valley Highway), SR-515 (Benson Highway), and SR-167 (Rainier Avenue) are integral elements of Renton's arterial system, as well as, routes for regional commuters. These five interstate, freeway, and state highways converge in central Renton within a half mile radius of each other. This results in a complex traffic flow as regional and local trips interact within a relatively short distance. Local arterial streets link commercial, industrial, and residential neighborhoods to the freeways and state highways. Within neighborhoods, local access streets provide internal circulation and connections to the arterials. Local access streets primarily provide direct access to abutting land uses and are designed to discourage through traffic. Arterials in the City of Renton are divided into three classifications that are used to identify appropriate uses, establish eligibility for road improvement funding, and define appropriate street design standards:  Principal Arterials – streets and highways that connect major intra-city activity centers and have high traffic volumes and relatively fast vehicle speeds. The focus is on through travel instead of property access.  Minor Arterials – streets that provide links between intra-city activity centers or between principal and collector arterials. Minor arterials carry moderately high traffic volumes and vehicle speeds are typically lower than principal arterials.  Collector Arterials – streets that distribute traffic between local streets and principal or minor arterials and provide circulation within commercial, industrial, or residential areas. The collector system distributes traffic to local streets to support property access. AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGE 20 Figure T-1: Arterial Streets Map AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT PAGE 21 CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Generally, local access streets include all public streets not classified as principal, minor, or collector arterials. A conceptual arterial map is shown in Figure T-1. Annually, the City adopts an Arterial Streets map displaying the three arterial categories above. The City hereby incorporates by reference its Arterial Streets Map dated August 4, 2014, Resolution 4222, or as thereafter amended, into this Transportation Element. The City has adopted more specific street classifications in the Renton Sunset area. The transportation element seeks to balance local and regional mobility needs. The following policies and priorities address issues related to the street network as a system, the physical design of individual roadways, traffic flow, and traffic operations control. The intent is to reduce the amount of traffic on City streets that has neither an origin nor destination in the City of Renton while providing reasonable levels of traffic flow and mobility for users of the local street system. POLICIES Policy T-17: Work with the State and neighboring jurisdictions to provide capacity on regional transportation systems and to reduce regional traffic on local streets. Policy T-18: Increase the person-carrying capacity of the Renton arterial system by encouraging modes that allow more people per vehicle and by discouraging single occupancy vehicle usage. Policy T-19: Adopt and implement street standards based on assigned street classification, land use objectives, and user needs. Policy T-20: Arrange the street network in a grid pattern to the extent possible. Connect internal development networks to existing streets and avoid cul-de-sacs and dead end streets. Policy T-21: Support vacating streets when they meet the criteria in Renton Municipal Code, Chapter 14, Vacations. Policy T-22: Review new developments fronting on state highways in the City in accordance with WSDOT access standards for state managed access highways. PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION Investments in the non-motorized components of the City’s transportation system enhance the quality of life in Renton, improve walking and bicycling safety, support healthy lifestyles, and support pedestrian and bicycle transportation modes as alternatives to the use of automobiles. Non-motorized facilities serve commuters and recreational users. INVENTORY The City's existing non-motorized transportation system is comprised primarily of roadside sidewalks. These facilities provide safe non- motorized mobility for pedestrians and cyclists outside of business districts. Within business districts, sidewalks are restricted to pedestrians. Many streets were constructed before the existing code requiring sidewalks was enacted; as a result, numerous local and arterial roadways are currently without sidewalks. Some notable walkway deficiencies exist along sections of Maple Valley Highway (SR-169), Puget Drive, and Talbot Road South. The City of Renton Comprehensive Citywide Walkway Study (March 2008) addresses the sidewalks and walkways within the City and identifies a priority roster to construct "missing" sidewalk/walkway sections throughout the City. In addition to sidewalks, Renton has combined bicycle/pedestrian facilities along Logan Avenue and portions of Garden Avenue North and North 8th Street, and striped bicycle lanes on portions of SW 16th Street, Oakesdale Avenue SW, Duvall Avenue NE, and NE 4th Street. The Renton Trails and Bicycle Master Plan (2009) lists routes that have been identified as important bicycle transportation elements. The City of Renton Parks, Recreation, and Natural Areas Plan (November 2011) provides an in-depth description of proposed walking, bicycle, and AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGE 22 mixed-use trails. By nature, these types of trails are primarily used for recreational purposes and supplement the City's non-motorized transportation system; their development should be encouraged. FUTURE PLANS Renton's existing transportation system is oriented towards accommodating cars, trucks, and buses rather than pedestrians or bicycles. The policies and priorities of this section provide guidelines for reevaluating the existing system and making incremental improvements in the City’s walking and biking environment. More facilities are also needed for bicycle storage and parking in shopping areas, employment centers and in public places. Specific recommendations on improvement projects are included in the Renton Trails and Bicycle Master Plan (May 2009) and hereby incorporated by reference into this Transportation Element. Cedar River Trail, Renton Trails and Bicycle Master Plan 2009 POLICIES Policy T-23: Coordinate transportation planning activities with the Renton Trails and Bicycle Master Plan and the Parks, Recreation, and Natural Areas Plan. Policy T-24: Enhance pedestrian and bicycle movement and safety by: 1) Providing adequate separation between non- motorized and motorized traffic; 2) Separating foot and bicycle traffic when possible, but giving preference to foot traffic when necessary; 3) Improving arterial intersection crossings for non-motorized users; 4) Minimizing obstructions and conflicts that restrict the movement of non-motorized users; and 5) Providing convenient access to all transit stops and transit centers. Policy T-25: Develop and designate appropriate pedestrian and bicycle commuter routes along minor arterial and collector arterial corridors. Policy T-26: Ensure provision of safe and convenient storage and parking facilities for bicyclists. Policy T-27: Promote non-motorized travel not only as a viable means of transportation but as an important method for maintaining overall health and fitness. TRANSIT AND HOV As Renton’s population continues to grow, there is a greater need to move people efficiently on the local roadway network. A well-managed, attractive, and convenient transit system reduces traffic demand by encouraging the use of alternatives to single- occupancy vehicles, for trips within the city limits and for trips to regional destinations. The following policies and priorities seek to maximize the use of transit and other alternatives to single-occupancy vehicles in Renton. INVENTORY The Downtown Renton Transit Center is the hub of transit service in Renton. The Transit Center acts as both a destination and a major transfer center. Bus service in Renton is currently provided by King County Metro and Sound Transit. Metro provides internal city routes and regional service. Local transit service includes RapidRide, buses, shuttles, and Dial-a-Ride (DART). The RapidRide F-line connects The Landing and Boeing plant with Downton Renton, Tukwila, SeaTac, and Burien. It connects with the regional Sounder (commuter rail) and Link Light Rail systems. As of AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT PAGE 23 CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2014, Renton has over 1,100 park and ride spaces located throughout the community to serve local commuters. High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes, available to buses and vehicles with two or more occupants, currently exist north and southbound on Interstate 405 and SR-167. HOV queue jump lanes are provided at some interchange ramps in Renton. Rainier Avenue has business access and transit only (BAT) lanes. FUTURE PLANS VISION 2040 and Transportation 2040 call for channeling future growth into regional growth centers such as Renton and providing transit links between centers. Transit investments are critical to providing local and regional trip alternatives to single-occupancy vehicles. Transit service and facility improvements are needed to support and encourage increased transit use in the City of Renton. Renton has been and will continue to work with King County Metro and Sound Transit to develop transit system service improvements (e.g., new routes, increased frequency) and capital investments (e.g., signal queues, park and ride facilities) to adequately serve Renton’s developing residential and employment areas. Specific transit service improvements and facilities are needed to support Renton’s role as a regional center. The City hereby incorporates by reference: 1) King County Metro’s Strategic Plan for Public Transportation 2011-2021, or as thereafter amended, and 2) Sound Transit’s Sound Transit 3 (ST3) Plan as adopted by the agency in 2016, or as thereafter amended. The City is very supportive of Sound Transit’s proposal to add Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) to the I-405 corridor, including direct HOV ramps at a new interchange at NE 8th Street. Planned HOV facility investments, such as HOV lanes or intersection queue jumps, are planned in several Renton corridors and direct access HOV interchange ramps are planned at the following locations between 2015 and 2020:  SW 43rd Street/Carr Road/Petrovitsky Road Corridor Improvements: Implement Adaptive Signal Control System (ASCS) along corridor which also will support transit operations. The system may be expanded to include transit signal priority if King County Metro would provide a BRT route to the corridor.  NE 3rd/NE 4th Corridor Improvements: Implement projects at locations along this arterial corridor to improve traffic operations including revising/adding turn lanes, access management, and traffic signal modifications. Projects will upgrade pedestrian and bicycle facilities. Project to consider transit signal priority enhancements and queue jump lanes to improve transit reliability.  NE Sunset Boulevard (SR 900) Corridor Improvements from I-405 on the west to the east City limits: Reconstruct arterial to enhance pedestrian and bicycle facilities and transit facilities/develop street to latest adopted Principal Arterial street standards. The City is also discussing extension of BRT to this corridor, which would connect the Sunset Area with The Landing, Boeing, and other employment centers.  Grady Way Corridor Improvements from Lind Avenue to Main Avenue: Reconfigure traffic lanes and add turn lanes and other traffic signal improvements to enhance traffic operations and transit reliability. These HOV investments will improve transit travel time, accessibility, and reliability and contribute to a reduction in congestion and pollution by providing an attractive alternative to the single occupant vehicle. AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGE 24 POLICIES Policy T-28: Work with other jurisdictions and transit authorities to plan and provide frequent, coordinated and comprehensive transit service and facilities in residential and employment areas. Policy T-29: Support direct HOV ramps to/from I- 405 in the vicinity of The Landing (NE 8th) per the City Center Community Plan. Policy T-30: Work to improve the frequency and reliability of transit serving Renton’s Downtown and promote the Downtown Transit Center as part of a regional high capacity transit system. Policy T-31: Increase transit service and access in commercial and mixed use corridors and nodes. Policy T-32: Coordinate transit, bike, and pedestrian planning efforts and evaluate opportunities to leverage investments for the benefit of more users. Policy T-33: Construct improvements and implement actions to facilitate the flow of HOV’s into, out of, and through Renton. Policy T-34: Support exclusive freeway/arterial HOV facilities that improve transit travel times by enabling buses to bypass congestion. Policy T-35: Allow park-and-ride facilities in appropriate locations subject to design considerations. TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS AND MOBILITY As described in Renton’s Community Needs Assessment (2014) and Housing Element, lack of mobility creates obstacles for individuals and families to access the services they need. Lack of mobility and transportation services can limit a household’s ability to obtain basic goods and services, receive medical or dental care, commute to a job, and maintain employment. Current barriers to mobility in Renton include:  Uneven access to public transit, with limited options for those who do not live Downtown, do not commute during peak travel times, or who need to travel within Renton (instead of between Renton and other destinations in the region). The most vulnerable groups include low-income households that are unable to afford vehicle ownership, as well as, residents who are unable to drive.  Elderly residents and others with personal physical mobility issues also face the challenge of not being able to walk longer distances to and from a bus stop, further limiting their opportunities to use public transit.  Many of the pedestrian and bike routes connecting Renton’s residential areas with basic services are unsafe, which further limits transportation alternatives for households without an automobile. F-Line Rapid Ride, Credit: City of Renton POLICIES Policy T-36: Invest in connection of non-motorized facilities across Renton. Provide improvements at intersections to improve safety and comfort of pedestrians and bicyclists. Policy T-37: Support transit agencies’ investment in transit service to Renton neighborhoods within and beyond Downtown. Policy T-38: Develop a connected transportation system that provides opportunities for mobility of people with special needs. GROWTH STRATEGY, LAND USE, AND TRANSPORTATION Renton has been designated a Core City and has a Regional Growth Center called the Renton Urban Center. Renton’s adopted Urban Center boundary includes two primary sections: the northern portion AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT PAGE 25 CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN borders Lake Washington and emphasizes mixed use and regional employment, including Boeing’s Renton Plant and The Landing, a retail and residential development; the southern portion of the center includes the downtown core and adjacent residential area. The City is obligated to meet the 2031 Growth Targets contained in the King County Countywide Planning Policies, and much of its growth capacity is in mixed use zones such as the Central Business District (CBD). The City must also estimate its growth to the year 2035 to provide the required 20- year planning period under GMA. Table T-1 shows the City’s growth targets, capacity, and transportation model assumptions. Table T-1: Growth Targets Housing Target Employment Target 2012-2035 Growth Target per 2014 Buildable Lands Report 14,050 28,755 Growth Capacity Estimated 2012 BLR and Land Use Element Update 15,351-16,741 26,090-31,076 Transportation Model Assumptions 16,741 31,076 Sources: King County, Puget Sound Regional Council, BERK Consulting 2014 The City has tested the future land use, desired mode split, and planned transportation improvements in the City’s transportation model. The model results show that the projected growth can be supported by the City’s planned improvements, and the City’s level of service policies (see Policy T-48) can be met. The model tested Renton’s planned growth and improvements in the context of regional growth and networks consistent with Puget Sound Regional Council’s VISION 2040 and Transportation 2040 plans. Testing Renton’s planned growth and improvements shows the following summary model results in selected corridors:  SW 43/Carr/Petrovitsky Corridor: Planned physical improvements to intersections and lanes together ASCS, and the LOS E Mitigated designation per policies, are appropriate.  Grady Way: Planned improvements would improve operations even in areas of projected continued congestion.  156th Avenue NE Corridor: Three lanes should suffice through 2035 modeled conditions. The 142nd/156th intersection with a signal and turn lanes are projected to work well.  SR 169: Interim improvements are possible and desirable at SE 5th at SR 169, such as striping/signing/operations changes. The State’s Route Development Plan improvements, included in the Renton Transportation Element list of projects (Appendix A), are needed.  Houser Way at Lake Washington Boulevard: Projects 3 and 5 (Appendix A) would address projected traffic.  192nd Extension over SR 167: This new road would likely pull traffic off of the SW 43rd overcrossing of SR 167, but would not eliminate the need for widening the overcrossing. More detailed transportation analysis of planned improvements would occur through the design process. POLICIES Policy T-39: Provide multimodal transportation improvements that support land use plans and are compatible with surrounding land uses. Policy T-40: Plan, design, and operate streets to enable safe and convenient access and travel for all users including pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, and people of all ages and abilities, as well as, freight and motor vehicle drivers, and to foster a sense of place in the public realm with attractive design amenities. AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGE 26 Policy T-41: Plan for land use densities and mixed- use development patterns that encourage walking, biking, and transit use in designated areas. Policy T-42: Continue to implement the following design guidelines in Renton’s Regional Growth Center:  Encourage a mix of complementary land uses.  Encourage compact growth by addressing density.  Link neighborhoods and connect streets, sidewalks, and trails.  Complete missing links and connections in the pedestrian and bicycle systems.  Integrate activity areas with surrounding neighborhoods.  Locate public and semipublic uses near Renton’s transit center(s).  Design for pedestrians and bicyclists.  Provide usable open spaces such as the Renton Piazza, Burnett Linear Park, Cedar River Trail, and others.  Manage the supply of parking.  Promote the benefits of on-street parking.  Reduce and mitigate the effects of parking. Policy T-43: Prioritize multimodal transportation investments in Renton’s Growth Urban Center. LEVEL OF SERVICE STANDARDS, DESIGN, AND CONCURRENCY Transportation concurrency – ensuring the programs, projects, and services needed to serve growth are in place when or soon after growth occurs – is a key requirement of the Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA). The City established the following objectives for its multimodal concurrency system:  Meet requirements of GMA and be defensible  Be meaningful to measure transportation system versus development  Be simple to explain  Be simple and cost efficient to implement and monitor  Incorporate other travel modes  Be receptive to various TDM and parking strategies  Consider the potential for different standards for different parts of the City  Help fund/implement multimodal transportation improvements  Provide a basis for interjurisdictional coordination on transportation Following a review of different systems and methods, the City developed a multimodal LOS and concurrency system for the following modes of travel meeting the objectives:  Motor vehicles (single and multi occupancy)  Transit  Non-motorized (bicycle and pedestrian) The multimodal LOS system addresses the following scales: 1) citywide, 2) community planning area, and 3) development level. The primary component of the system is a plan- level estimate of person trips by mode based on the land use forecasts. Person trips are the number of persons making trips by various modes of travel. Bicycle and pedestrian trips typically involve one person, thus one person trip. But motor vehicles often have more than one occupant. For example, if the average vehicle occupancy was 1.3, and a concurrency service area (like a community planning area) had 1,000 p.m. peak vehicle trips, the person trips would be 1,300. Similarly, if a transit vehicle carries 65 passengers, there would be 65 person trips. Using person trips provides a common metric for use in concurrency and also assessment of transportation impacts or mitigation fees. To ensure that growth is occurring in a pattern and intensity proposed by the Land Use Element, the person trips could be tracked by consolidated Community Planning Areas that share a common circulation system and that do not place undue administrative burden. The last component of the LOS program is at a development scale. Applicants for development AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT PAGE 27 CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN would need to provide an analysis of the effect of their proposed development on safety, operations and local access considering a measurement of delay per vehicle of LOS D or LOS E mitigated using Highway Capacity Manual definitions. See Table T-2 for a description of the key steps in the LOS/Concurrency system. LOS standards guide the types of street, pedestrian, bicycle, and transit improvements needed to meet planned levels of growth. The list and map of planned transportation system improvements are presented in Appendix A. The transportation system’s quality of design, sensitivity to human needs, and integration with the surroundings impact the City’s urban character and quality of life. Transportation improvements should be designed accordingly. Table T-2: LOS/Concurrency Program Program Component or Characteristic Attributes Person Trips Person trips are the number of persons making the same trip in the same mode of travel. Using person trips provides a common metric for use in concurrency and also impact or mitigation fees. Multimodal Levels of Service Person trips will be calculated for the following modes of travel:  Motor vehicles (single and multi-occupancy)  Transit  Non-motorized (bicycle and pedestrian) Multiple Service Areas The City will monitor trip banks to specific service areas, such as consolidated Community Planning Areas, that reflect differences in transportation opportunities, needs and capacities, as well as , differences in existing and future land uses. However, the City will determine system needs and collect fees at a citywide scale in order to preserve the City’s flexibility to prioritize projects, and to avoid creating smaller accounts that do not collect enough to fund any projects before the legal deadlines to spend the money or re fund it. Trip Calculator, Fee Calculator, Trip Bank Applicants will provide the type(s) of land uses they will develop, and the number of units they propose for each type (i.e., # of apartments, or # of square feet of retail, office, etc.). The Trip Calculator will convert the applicant’s data to the number of person trips in their service area using trip generation rates. The trip calculator results will be used for concurrency by comparing the applicant’s person trips to the balance available in the trip bank for each mode. The trip calculator results will be used for fee calculations by multiplying the applicant’s person trips for each mode times the fee per trip for each mode. Multimodal Mitigation Fees A separate SEPA-based mitigation fee schedule will collect each applicant’s proportionate share of their direct impact on the other modes of travel. Strategies such as TDM and parking can earn credits that reduce the mitigation fees. Safety, Operations, and Local Access Analysis Applicants for development will be required to submit an analysis of the effect o f their proposed development on safety, operations and local access using guidelines outlined in the City of Renton Policy Guidelines for Traffic Impact Analysis for New Development . AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGE 28 POLICIES Policy T-44: Ensure adequate transportation facilities are in place at the time of development approval or that an adopted strategy is in place to provide adequate facilities within six years. Policy T-45: Ensure that new development contributes its fair share of the cost of transportation facilities, programs and services needed to mitigate growth related transportation impacts. Policy T-46: Maintain a multimodal level of service that maximizes mobility, is coordinated with level of service standards of adjacent jurisdictions, and meets concurrency requirements. Policy T-47: Incorporate multiple transportation modes in concurrency determinations. Policy T-48: Apply the following multimodal LOS standards at a citywide level, community planning area level, and development level: A. Citywide Person Trips: Based on the City’s land use and growth strategy, establish a citywide level of person trips by mode, and support each mode with capital improvements and programs. The general mode categories include: motor vehicle trips, transit trips, and non-motorized trips. B. Community Planning Area Trips: Through the concurrency review process, track person trips by the following areas to monitor if growth is occurring in relation to the Land Use Element and planned Transportation and Capital Facility Plan investments. If growth is occurring in a different pattern than planned, consider the effect on operational LOS and determine if the Comprehensive Plan land use, LOS or capital investments should be amended. 1. West Hill/City Center/Cedar River Community Planning Areas 2. Valley Community Planning Area 3. Talbot/Benson/Fairwood Community Planning Areas 4. Kennydale/Highlands/East Plateau Community Planning Areas 5. Adopted planned action areas: Track vehicular trips per City-adopted Planned Action ordinances C. Operational LOS: Through the SEPA review process, apply the following operational LOS standard at intersections that could be impacted by a proposed development: 1. Arterials and Collectors: Except as listed in C.2, apply a standard of LOS D. 2. Alternative Arterial and State Route LOS: Apply a standard of Level of Service E Mitigated for the following:  Specific Corridors: Carr Road, Logan Avenue, Rainier Avenue, Grady Way, SR 900 and SR 515.  Centers: Renton Urban Center and Center Village  For the above Corridors and Centers, congestion should be mitigated (such as increasing transit or other modes) when p.m. peak hour LOS falls below LOS E. Policy T-49: Encourage development that can be supported by transit and other non-single occupant vehicle modes. Policy T-50: Design transportation facilities to fit the neighborhood context. Apply urban design principles. Policy T-51: Support continued development of the 27th/Strander Corridor into Tukwila. FREIGHT Safe and efficient movement and distribution of goods is important for attracting and retaining businesses in the City of Renton. INVENTORY Truck and rail freight are important to the regional and local economy. The Washington State Freight Mobility Plan, hereby incorporated by reference, identifies T1 freight corridors (those carrying more than 10 million tons per year), T2 freight corridors AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT PAGE 29 CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN (carrying 4 to 10 million tons per year), and other freight routes within the City that are important to the state economy. Figure T-2 identifies the state designated freight routes. The City has a system of truck routes for trucks weighing over 26,000 pounds gross vehicle weight. In accordance with the City’s truck route ordinance, trucks needing to make deliveries off of the designated truck routes are required to take the most direct arterial route to/from one of the designated truck routes and to combine multiple trips off designated truck routes when feasible. The truck route ordinance does not apply to the operation of school buses or public transit on designated routes, garbage trucks, city maintenance vehicles, or emergency vehicles. Freight rail service is currently available to several industrial and commercial areas of the City. Existing rail lines bordering the City of Renton include the Union Pacific (UPRR) and Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad (BNSF) main line tracks between Seattle and Tacoma. The BNSF main line runs in a north- south direction and is located along the City of Renton's western city limits, separating Renton from the City of Tukwila. The BNSF main line carries a considerable volume of freight service, as well as passenger service. Two spur lines provide intermittent, as-needed freight service from the main line to the Renton Valley industrial area (southwest Renton) and the Container Corporation of America plant in the Earlington industrial area. The BNSF 18th Subdivision Branch Line splits from the BNSF main line at the Black River Junction, and continues through Downtown Renton and the North Renton industrial area before continuing along the east side of Lake Washington and terminating in south Bellevue. Spur tracks off of the branch line provide freight service to the Earlington industrial area in west central Renton. Two spur tracks serve the North Renton industrial area north of Downtown Renton. The UPRR mainline track, located 200 to 300 feet west of the BNSF mainline and Renton's City limits, also runs in a north-south direction. The UPRR mainline is a single track, carrying a somewhat lower level of freight-only service. Figure T-2: State Freight Routes in Renton AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGE 30 The infrequent use of the spur tracks and branch lines within city limits results in minimal disruption to vehicular traffic movement in Renton. Future land use development is not anticipated to result in a significant increase in rail freight service in Renton. The following policies and priorities seek to balance the needs of freight (trucks and trains) with the needs of other users of the local street network. Policy T-52: Work with local, regional, state, and federal agencies to address regional freight needs and mitigate local impacts. Policy T-53: Maintain and improve freight access to and from Renton industrial areas. Policy T-54: Minimize the impact of freight traffic on transportation facilities and general traffic circulation. Policy T-55: Limit heavy through truck traffic to designated truck routes. Policy T-56: Support railroad crossing improvements that minimize maintenance and protect the street surface. Where warranted, provide protective devices, such as barriers and warning signals, on at-grade crossings. AIRPORT The Renton Municipal Airport is a major general aviation airport and a designated Reliever Airport for SeaTac International Airport in the Federal Aviation Administration’s National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems. Both federal and state governments recognize its importance as part of the transportation system and require the City to protect and maintain it so that it can be used safely. Renton's Airport is more than a transportation facility. It is a vital element to Renton's commercial and industrial economy, providing aircraft services, manufacturing support, flight training, and other airport activities. The airport is a self-sufficient enterprise fund within the City’s operations. Seaplane at Renton Municipal Airport, Credit: City of Renton According to the 2012 WSDOT Aviation Economic Impact Study, four airports in Washington State account for the greatest economic impact: The most significant overall finding is that the statewide economic impacts attributable to airports are substantial, but heavily concentrated in just four facilities - the three major Boeing activity centers (Paine Field, Boeing Field, and Renton Municipal) and Sea-Tac, which is the principal commercial airline hub in the state and ranked 17th nationally in terms of annual enplanements. Combined, they account for 91% of total jobs and 95% of total statewide output attributable to individual airport activity. Each of these facilities is estimated to support at least 10,000 jobs and more than $5 billion of economic activity. INVENTORY The Renton Municipal Airport is owned by the City of Renton. The Airport consists of approximately 165.5 acres; it has one runway with two parallel taxiways. The runway, running southeast to northwest, is 5,379 feet long and 200 feet wide. It is equipped with medium intensity runway lighting, Runway End Identification Lighting (REIL), and Precision Approach Path Indicators (PAPI). Taxiways are lighted, there is a rotating beacon, a windsock, and a non-directional radio beacon. The Federal Aviation Administration operates a contracted Air AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT PAGE 31 CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Traffic Control Tower year round during established hours (generally 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.). The Renton Airport serves general aviation demand (aviation uses except scheduled commercial passenger airlines) generated by Renton, Boeing, and other communities generally within a 30- minute drive. Aircraft services available at the Airport include aircraft maintenance and service, fuel, flight instruction, aircraft charter and rental, and aircraft storage. Fixed Base Operators (FBO's), which are aviation-oriented businesses offering a variety of services and products to aircraft owners and operators, provide these services to the aviation public. Contiguous to the Renton Airport is the Will Rogers- Wiley Post Memorial Seaplane Base which, during the summer months, is one of the busiest seaplane bases in the Northwest. The Renton Municipal Airport is a Landing Rights Airport, with US Customs services available for both floatplane and wheeled aircraft arriving by water or by land. FUTURE PLANS The Airport Layout Plan establishes future development and improvement priorities and timelines that will yield a safe, efficient, economical, and environmentally acceptable public facility with capacity for the future air transport needs of the City of Renton and the Puget Sound region. The number of aircraft and the number of operations are projected to grow only modestly in the coming decades; however, the region has a large unmet need for hangars for aircraft storage. The airport has begun a comprehensive Master Plan update scheduled to be completed in the spring of 2016. POLICIES Policy T-57: Acknowledge that there are certain impacts to the community associated with the existence of the Renton Municipal Airport, such as noise generation, but that these impacts have historically been accepted by the community in exchange for the economic and transportation- related benefits and the civic prestige that are also associated with the Airport. Policy T-58: Recognize the regional significance of the Airport for economic development. Policy T-59: Maximize available space on the Airport site for uses that require direct access to taxiways and runways. Policy T-60: Continue operation of the Airport as a Landing Rights Airport. Policy T-61: Recognize the benefit of Airport access for emergency medical and disaster response in the community. Policy T-62: Promote and develop Airport facilities and services for all wheeled and float-equipped aircraft, owners, pilots, and passengers in a manner that maximizes safety, efficiency, and opportunity for use. Policy T-63: Lease Airport property for aviation- related uses that create jobs and expand the City’s tax base. Policy T-64: Maintain the northern shoreline of the Airport as the only major publicly-owned seaplane access and protect its use for that purpose. Policy T-65: Develop appropriate land use plans and regulations for structures and vegetation within the Airport’s runway approach zone. FINANCE, INVESTMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION This section contains details of transportation revenue sources that the City can reasonably expect to receive during the life of the transportation plan. Revenue sources contained in the Financial Program vary widely in terms of the amounts available and the types of projects for which they may be used. In most cases, individual transportation projects are funded by a combination of funding sources, reflecting the fact that transportation projects have multiple purposes and serve multiple beneficiaries. AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGE 32 TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS Appendix A: Transportation Improvement Projects and Programs, summarizes the City of Renton’s identified multimodal roadway system improvements needed to address capacity and operational issues based on the forecast travel demands. The project table and map, which constitute Appendix A, include a project number for reference. The table is generally organized by Community Plan Area, starting with the Kennydale Planning Area in the north part of the City. In addition, the table includes programs covering pedestrian and bicycle travel consistent with the City’s other adopted plans, such as the Renton Trails and Bicycle Master Plan. Programs covering preservation, traffic operations and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), safety, and transportation project development are also included. Without programs addressing these items, the City’s existing infrastructure will be less efficient and ultimately will cost more to reconstruct transportation facilities. Key improvements from other agencies including Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), Sound Transit, King County, and adjacent cities are also included in the list to illustrate the interdependence of Renton’s transportation element within the regional and sub-regional framework. To better support use of alternative travel modes, most of the identified roadway improvements include facilities for pedestrians, and others also include improvements for bicycle travel and improving transit service reliability. The roadway projects focus on improving traffic safety and operations along major corridors. These include adding turn lanes (including center, two-way left- turn lanes) and upgrading traffic signals at major intersections. These include projects along Lake Washington Boulevard, Sunset Boulevard, Grady Way, Carr Road/Petrovitsky Road, and 116th Avenue SE. In addition to the listed corridor projects, the traffic operations and ITS program provide for adjusting the traffic signal phasing and operations at signals throughout the city. The only project that adds additional travel lanes for a significant distance is the widening of Monster Road between Oakesdale Avenue and Martin Luther King Jr Way (SR 900). This project completes the 4/5 lane arterial corridor and would be constructed in partnership with King County. The Transportation Element also incorporates improvement projects from Community Plans and other planning studies. These include the plan to convert the one-way roadways in downtown Renton to two-way operations to support the vision identified in the City Center Community Plan. In addition, the Transportation Element includes the key transportation improvements identified in the Sunset Area Community Planned Action Study, and the Benson Hill Community Plan. TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM COSTS In emphasizing multiple travel modes, this plan requires resources to be spread and balanced among all modes. Many of the identified improvement projects address multiple travel modes in an integrated manner. The City of Renton cost of funding the transportation improvement projects and programs described in previous sections for the next 21 years (2015-2035) is estimated at approximately $617 million (2015 dollars). In addition, the City’s Transportation Element relies on WSDOT, Sound Transit, King County Metro and other agencies to fund and implement regional and sub-regional transportation improvement projects, as identified in Appendix A. Ongoing transportation planning work will include continued refinement of the 20- year transportation plan and costs. As shown in Table T-3, $422 million (68%) of the City’s transportation costs are for multimodal transportation improvement projects in key corridors throughout the City. Pedestrian, bicycle, and trail projects are estimated to cost $102 million based on the current plans. The remaining $93 million is needed to fund ongoing operations, AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT PAGE 33 CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN including street overlays, system preservation, traffic signal, signs, implementation of ITS, and overall administration and development of projects. Table T-3: Summary of 2015-2035 Transportation Costs Type of Project Costs (1,000s) Roadway Projects $ 422,000 Non-Motorized Projects and Programs $102,000 Preservation, Safety, ITS, and Project Development Programs $93,000 TOTAL Costs $ 617,000 INVENTORY OF FUNDING SOURCES Having established a 20-year transportation funding level of $617 million, an annual average funding level of approximately $30 million would be needed to fully implement the Transportation Element by 2035. Sources of revenue to provide this annual funding need are identified on TableT-5. The forecast revenues are based on historical data extrapolated out to 2035. From existing transportation revenue sources, the City would be expected to generate $240 million from 2015-2035. This is approximately 40% of the total estimated costs of the 21 year list of transportation projects and programs. Table T-4: Summary of 2015-2035 Transportation Revenues Existing Revenue Sources Costs (1,000s) Grants $119,000 Business License Fees $52,000 Fuel Taxes $51,000 Transportation Impact Fees and Sidewalk Mitigation Payments $18,000 TOTAL Revenues $240,000 Existing revenues are not able to keep pace with transportation costs for several reasons. They include:  Declining revenue available from several existing sources, such as the half-cent gas tax and grants;  Transportation needs and costs growing faster than available revenues;  Local, state, and federal requirements on transportation improvements lengthening the design process and increasing cost;  Increased needs for preservation of the existing infrastructure;  Additional focus on incorporating complete streets concepts into transportation projects which adds costs due to right-of way and street standards;  The undetermined potential for new funding sources; and  The continued inability of regional agencies to address regional transportation needs. Ongoing transportation planning work will include a review and update of current revenue sources to reflect federal, state, and regional decisions regarding these revenue sources. Should the City’s transportation funding approach result in shortfalls, the City will reassess its land use plan, level of service standards, and funding strategies, accordingly. To help address this shortfall in funding, the City is considering two new funding sources and potential future modifications to the existing Transportation Impact Fee (TIF) program rates.  Transportation Benefit District (TBD) – The City is evaluating the potential for establishing a TBD, as allowed under State law. Without a vote of the City residents, a TBD could be based on a $20 assessment on the Motor Vehicle Excise Tax (MVET). This could generate over $30 million over the life of the plan if implemented starting in 2016. State law allows the City to enact up to a $100 MVET through a vote of residents. A $100 MVET could raise $8 million a year if AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGE 34 approved. The City would likely target the TBD to help provide more consistent funding for preservation of the transportation system and possibly some key non-motorized projects.  Non-motorized concurrency Impact Fee – The City’s current TIF program is focused on improvements that add capacity to roadways and streets that serve growth, consistent with State law. With the increased focus on completing key segments of the sidewalk, bicycle, and trails system, the City is considering a supplemental mitigation fee that would cover those modes. This mitigation payment would be integral to the multi-modal concurrency program. Specific rates and projects/costs are yet to be fully defined and would be adopted as part of a subsequent change to the City’s existing concurrency requirements (RMC 4-6-070). Preliminary estimates suggest such a program could generate approximately $8 million for separate pedestrian, bicycle, and multi-use trail projects. The costs of the non-motorized projects would not overlap with costs included in the impact fee program.  Transportation Impact Fee – The City revised its TIF in 2011. As part of that update, the City set the TIF rate per new PM peak hour trip well below the maximum rate developed in the Rate Study (Rate Study for Impact Fees, City of Renton). With adoption of the 2015 Transportation Element and project list, the City will need to review and update the TIF program and ordinance to be internally consistent. At that time, the City could choose to set the TIF rates at a higher (or lower) level, which could affect the ability to complete the growth-related street and roadway projects. This Element provides a summary of six and 20-year transportation system proposals (see Level of Service Standards, Design, and Concurrency) needed to support the land use plan. The City has developed a six-year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) that details projects and funding by year for 2015-2020, and is hereby incorporated by reference. The full 20-year multimodal project list, summarized in Appendix A, is also incorporated by reference. POLICIES Policy T-66: Ensure the transportation system funding and implementation program supports land use policies and distributes transportation costs equitably. Policy T-67: Pursue federal, state and local sources of funding (e.g. loans, matching funds) for transportation improvements in an efficient and equitable manner. Policy T-68: Use business license fees and impact fees charged to new development to fund growth related traffic improvements. Policy T-69: Coordinate equitable public/private partnerships to help pay for transportation improvements. Policy T-70: Seek opportunities for multi- jurisdictional cooperation to fund transportation improvements (e.g. joint transportation mitigation systems or funding mechanism) to address impact of growth outside municipal boundaries on the City’s transportation system. Policy T-71: Expedite implementation of transportation projects that protect neighborhoods against the impacts of through traffic, improve HOV flow, increase transit service, and enhance pedestrian and bicycle facilities. Policy T-72: Reassess the Land Use Element, Level of Service standard, and funding strategies if probable funding falls short of meeting existing needs and to ensure that the Land Use Element, transportation plans, and financing plan are coordinated and consistent. Policy T-73: Evaluate establishing a Transportation Benefit District (TBD) as allowed under State law. AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT PAGE 35 CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION A significant amount of travel that occurs in Renton is regional in nature – with either the origin or destination (sometimes both) outside city limits. Effectively managing flow within and through the City requires extensive coordination with neighboring jurisdictions, transit service providers, and regional, state, and federal entities. POLICIES Policy T-74: Develop and maintain relationships between Renton and other agencies and local jurisdictions for cooperative planning of common transportation improvements. Policy T-75: Continue to coordinate Renton's Transportation Element with adjacent jurisdictions' transportation and land use goals, countywide policies, regional land use and transportation plans, and statewide goals outlined in the GMA. Policy T-76: Pursue strategies to address inconsistencies (i.e. interlocal agreements) and adjust Renton’s Transportation Element, as needed. DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE  Appendix A: Transportation Improvement Projects and Programs AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) HOUSING AND HUMAN SERVICES ELEMENT CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGE 36 HOUSING & HUMAN SERVICES ELEMENT - Working to provide opportunity for those with need - DISCUSSION This Element states Renton’s housing and human services goals and policies, guides Renton’s approach to creating opportunities for the physical development of housing over the long term, and also directs Renton’s human services activities to increase the social and economic well-being of individuals and families. Housing variety, location, and affordability influence a household’s ability to access jobs, schools, and services. Human services can help support households to find and maintain stable and healthy dwellings and to meet economic, health, and social needs. HOUSING This Element provides housing goals and policies intended to meet the Growth Management Act’s (GMA) housing goal: “Encourage the availability of affordable housing to all economic segments of the population of this state, promote a variety of residential densities and housing types, and encourage preservation of existing housing stock.” HUMAN SERVICES The goals and policies related to Human Services are integrated with Housing goals and policies, because housing and human service needs are often intertwined. Human Services are programs and strategies that:  Support vulnerable or at risk individuals and families in times of need,  Address the social conditions that make people vulnerable or put them at risk, and  Foster an effective and efficient system of services. Human Services that meet basic human needs and promote safe and healthy communities can be represented on a continuum, from prevention of problems, including crime, to assuring basic survival, to assistance in becoming self-reliant. While optional under GMA, addressing Human Services in the Comprehensive Plan allows Renton to guide its Human Services programs to best meet community needs in an efficient and effective manner. SUMMARY OF HOUSING AND HUMAN SERVICE NEEDS The goals and policies in this Element are based on the Renton Community Needs Assessment for Human Services and Housing, December 2013 (Community Needs Assessment). Brief discussions of housing and human service needs are provided, but the full analysis of the Community Needs Assessment should be consulted for information required by the GMA. Key findings of the Community Needs Assessment indicated the following housing and human service needs: AVAILABLE QUALITY HOUSING  More rental units for very low-income households;  Opportunities for upward mobility by promoting ownership housing for first-time homebuyers; and  More safe, energy efficient, and healthy housing for low and moderate income households. NEIGHBORHOOD OPPORTUNITY  Improved mobility and transportation options;  More high quality out-of-school time opportunities for youth; and  Increased access to affordable, quality early childhood education The Community Needs Assessment identifies two broad values to guide the delivery of housing and human services: equity and dignity. AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) HOUSING AND HUMAN SERVICES ELEMENT PAGE 37 CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY  Support for adults who face barriers to employment; and  Access to living-wage jobs and career advancement BASIC NEEDS FOR FAMILIES  Improved access to quality food; and  Day and night shelters that offer a range of services for homeless families HEALTH AND WELLNESS  Better access to health and dental care for low-income residents;  Early childhood health screenings and parenting support; and  More mental health and substance abuse services HOUSING VARIETY AND OPPORTUNITY Renton has a diverse housing stock with a wide range of unit types and prices. This includes new and older single-family homes of all sizes, flats, townhouses, semi-attached houses, low- and mid- rise apartments and condominiums, and high- density mid-rise apartments in Sunset and the Growth Center. Renton also has a strong sense of community, and many established neighborhoods organized around schools, parks, and other institutions. In addition to established neighborhoods, where infill development has been increasingly common, Renton has newly developed neighborhoods close to its southern and eastern edges, and emerging mixed-use residential neighborhoods in several of its commercial centers. Renton continues to have a supply of vacant, underutilized, and re-developable land in its neighborhoods and mixed-use centers, offering many opportunities for growth. The City is obligated to meet its 2031 Growth Targets contained in the King County Countywide Planning Policies. The City must also estimate its growth to the year 2035 to provide the required 20-year planning period under GMA (i.e., 2015-2035). Table HHS-1 shows the City’s projected land use assumptions related to housing for a period 2006-2035, while Table HHS-2 provides an adjustment for growth that has already occurred between 2006 and 2012. The Tables demonstrate that the City’s land supply is consistent with 2035 growth targets. The Land Use Element allocates land use designations in a methodical manner to facilitate a range of housing types that will meet the 2035 growth targets. By providing for housing variety, Renton:  Recognizes that housing needs change over a person’s life cycle. Renton’s housing supply should be diverse and consist of a variety of styles and price ranges to serve all residents.  Improves mobility. Placing housing where there is a variety of transportation modes or increasing the allowed density in areas that are served with public transportation can improve the viability of transit and provide better access to employment, recreation, and other services for all households.  Meets special housing needs. Renton has a population that is aging, has disabilities, is homeless, or has other special needs. A variety of housing choices allows persons and households with special needs to have access to stable and supportive housing choices. Equity is when social, economic and political opportunities are not predicated on a person’s age, appearance, citizenship or national origin, employment classification, ethnicity, gender, gender identity or gender expressions, language, marital status, race, religion, faith or spirituality, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, veteran status, and visible or invisible disabilities. AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) HOUSING AND HUMAN SERVICES ELEMENT CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGE 38  Creates opportunities for households to gain upward mobility. There is a gap in housing for households with low incomes, as well as, a lack of housing options for households that can afford entry-level home ownership. Creating a better balance between dwellings serving different households creates opportunities for upward mobility such as by promoting ownership housing for first-time homebuyers. Homeownership has been, over time, a significant source of wealth accumulation despite the recent Great Recession.  Provides for stable housing. Very low-income households may be sharing housing units affordable to higher incomes because there are not enough rentable dwellings affordable to households with very low-incomes. Until more housing stock that promotes upward mobility is available and frees up lower-cost units, City policies can promote forms of shared housing and accessory dwelling units, which can be both a source of affordable housing and housing stability by providing income for homeowners to help them meet their mortgage obligations or to age in place.

More specifically, the policies define housing need groups based on income thresholds equal to 30%, 50%, and 80% of the County’s Area Median Income (AMI). Countywide Planning Policies direct Renton, other cities, and King County to work collectively to meet low- and moderate-income housing needs countywide. At both a collective and individual level, Renton is to address the housing needs for households earning very low incomes (30% of AMI or less), as this is where the greatest need exists. Table HHS-3 identifies the 2012 and 2013 countywide share of households, and Renton’s share of households that meet the income levels. Table HHS-3: Estimates of Existing Households by Percentage of Area Median Income Percent of Area Median Household Income Countywide: 2012 King County Countywide Planning Policies Countywide: 2013 Community Needs Assessment Renton: 2013 Community Needs Assessment Under 30% (very low) 12% 13% 15% 30 - 50% (low) 12% 11% 14% 50 - 80% (moderate) 16% 16% 19% 80% and above 60% 60% 52% Total 100% 100% 100% Sources: King County, Countywide Planning Policies 2012; Community Needs Assessment based on 2007-2011 ACS and ESRI; BERK, 2013. Dignity refers to the experience of receiving housing and human services. To treat someone with dignity is to treat them as being of worth, in a way that is respectful of them as valued individuals. AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) HOUSING AND HUMAN SERVICES ELEMENT PAGE 39 CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Based on this information:  Renton has somewhat higher proportions of its households in the very low, low, and moderate income housing need categories; and  Renton’s proportions of middle and upper income residents are lower than King County. COST-BURDENED HOUSEHOLDS Many households in Renton are spending more than 30% of their income on housing, and therefore are considered “cost-burdened.” Due to the high percentage of income spent on housing, these households may have difficulties meeting other household necessities including food, medicine, clothing, and transportation needs. A vast majority of households (82.5%) earning under $35,000 (generally low- and very low-income households) are spending more than 30% of their income on housing. A greater proportion of renting households earning under $35,000 per year are cost-burdened than owner-occupied households. See the Community Needs Assessment for additional detail. Glennwood Townhomes, Credit: City of Renton SPECIAL NEEDS HOUSEHOLDS Persons who may require housing with particular design or support services include, but are not limited to, the homeless, large households, those living with a disability, and older adults including those who live independently and those requiring some sort of living assistance. Many special-needs households also require affordable housing choices. Homeless: This special needs population has an acute housing need, yet there are significant data gaps and gross undercounts. In the 2011-12 school year, the Renton School District identified 341 students who met the legislative definition of homeless. The one-night unsheltered homeless counts in Renton show unsheltered homelessness in the City ranging from 71-84 persons over the last four years. However, not all areas are searched and many homeless persons do not want to be seen. Beyond the number estimated above, there are likely individuals and families that are improvising with camping, sleeping in their cars, rotating around weekly “motels,” and spending nights in someone’s spare room or couch, with no fixed residence. Large Households: Large households often require dwelling units with more bedrooms than units available on average. Renton has a slightly greater proportion of households with 3 to 7 people than in King County. About 40% of Renton residents live in households with more than 2 people, compared to 36% for the County overall. Elderly Population: Households with older adults may require assistance to update their homes to accommodate physical constraints (e.g., ramps, remodeling, and repairs) or may require emotional, social, health or other assistance for daily life. In 2010, Renton’s senior population (ages 65 years and over) was about 10.1% of the population. Disabled Population: Renton has an estimated 8,398 adults living with a disability, representing approximately 8% of the population 18 to 64 years old and 41% of the population over 64 years old. Persons with medical or physical disabilities or substance abuse concerns may need support services or a supportive living environment. AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) HOUSING AND HUMAN SERVICES ELEMENT CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGE 40 GOAL HHS-A: Adopt best available housing practices and implement innovative techniques to advance the provision of affordable, fair, healthy, and safe housing for renters, homeowners, and the homeless. By the end of year 2020, adopt a strategic housing plan tailored to achieve this goal. POLICIES Policy HHS-1: Provide resource assistance to potential new homeowners, homeowners facing foreclosure, and others in danger of losing their housing. Policy HHS-2: Collaborate with financial institutions, organizations, and individuals who provide affordable housing to acquire and rehabilitate foreclosed units to be used as long-term affordable or subsidized housing. Policy HHS-3: Work with other jurisdictions and organizations, including the Renton Housing Authority and non-profit housing developers, to address the need for housing to be affordable to very low-income households. This housing should focus on accessibility, mobility, and proximity to social services. Policy HHS-4: Promote homeownership opportunities for households of all incomes. Policy HHS-5: Work collaboratively with local, regional, state, and federal public and private sector entities to enhance resources and secure financial and other types of support for housing programs. GOAL HHS-B: Ensure a variety of housing types are available within the City that meet the needs of the present without compromising the needs of future generations. POLICIES Policy HHS-6: Implement inclusionary zoning provisions and other techniques that result in a range of housing types, at different densities, and prices in new developments that address the housing needs of all people at all stages of life, including vulnerable populations. Policy HHS-7: Continue to regulate manufactured housing the same as site built housing. Also, maintain manufactured housing developments that meet the following criteria: 1) The development provides market rate housing alternatives for moderate- and low-income households. 2) The housing is maintained and certified as built to the International Building Code and Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development standards. 3) Site planning includes pedestrian amenities, landscaping, and a community facility. Policy HHS-8: Continue to allow Accessory Dwelling Units in single family residential areas and ensure they are compatible with the existing neighborhood. Policy HHS-9: Foster and locate new housing in proximity to Employment Centers and streets that have public transportation systems in place, and complements existing housing. Policy HHS-10: In collaboration with the County, other cities, and community stakeholders, develop strategies to achieve a diverse housing stock that is affordable for the following minimum percentages of the City’s households: Total Households AMI 12 % Below 30% (very low-income) 12 % 30 to 50% (low-income) 16 % 51 to 80% (moderate-income) HOUSING PRESERVATION Age of housing is a factor in the quality of housing and how much housing costs to maintain. Older homes typically have less efficient furnaces, insulation, windows, and appliances, which lead to higher operating costs compared to newer housing construction. Under normal circumstances, a new residential unit can be expected to have an effective useful life of 40-50 years before it becomes functionally obsolete. The useful lifespan can be AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) HOUSING AND HUMAN SERVICES ELEMENT PAGE 41 CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN expanded indefinitely with continued maintenance and reinvestment. About 19% of housing in Renton was built before 1959, making it over 50 years old. The vast majority of this older housing is comprised of single family homes. In addition, a significant portion of housing built in the 1940’s, some of which is still owned by the Renton Housing Authority, was built quickly for the war defense industry. This housing was constructed as temporary housing for war defense workers who were expected to return to their original communities after the war. Much of this housing is still in use today, and likely is approaching functional obsolescence. Preserving existing housing where it provides quality living environments protects neighborhood character and is the largest source of affordable housing in the community. Other activities to preserve housing can include promoting the preservation or rehabilitation of affordable housing that would otherwise convert to market rate housing (e.g., subsidized housing, manufactured home parks, etc.) or home repair programs for low- income households. GOAL HHS-C: Increase the stability of neighborhoods by fostering long-term homeownership, property maintenance, and investments in existing housing. POLICIES Policy HHS-11: Utilize the City’s authority to rehabilitate housing to prevent neighborhood blight or eliminate unsound structures. Policy HHS-12: Encourage expansion of programs that result in home repair, weatherization, and other energy-efficient improvements to owner- occupied and rental housing, and promote additional funding for these programs at the state and federal level. Policy HHS-13: Promote housing development in proximity to the City’s Employment Centers and other areas of the City that have jobs and work opportunities, or the potential for future job growth. Policy HHS-14: Provide technical assistance and access to resources for housing adaptations and remodels to allow people to age or remain in place as their circumstances change. Downtown Housing, Credit: ICF Jones & Stokes SUSTAINABILITY, HEALTH, AND WELLNESS Livable neighborhoods include those that promote physical activity with access to amenities (sidewalks, trails, parks, and services) and protection of environmental quality such as clustered designs and low-impact development to protect critical areas and water quality. Livable homes include those that are developed and maintained to meet quality building and housing codes, including energy conservation and good ventilation to reduce exposure to indoor air pollutants due to paint, flooring, and furniture. HUMAN SERVICES The City’s role is to fund, advocate, facilitate, plan, and inform by continuously engaging service providers and community organizations in dialogue regarding the functioning of the present service systems, the emerging needs of the community and the building of a complete system of services. The Human Services Division distributes general funds and Community Development Block Grants. The staff and Advisory Committee members advocate for community members who cannot do so for themselves; needs are assessed and AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) HOUSING AND HUMAN SERVICES ELEMENT CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGE 42 appropriate policy and program responses are developed. City staff facilitates in convening and engaging others in community problem solving to develop and improve services. FUNDING AND PARTNERSHIPS Renton primarily creates opportunities for market rate and assisted housing through its Comprehensive Land Use Plan and zoning. The City has worked in partnership with the Renton Housing Authority (RHA) to establish the long-term vision and revitalization of RHA properties, such as Sunset Terrace and other locations in the Sunset Area. The City also participates in the King County Joint Recommendations Committee (JRC) which allocates funding for affordable housing. The City does not have a dedicated funding source for housing, but could continue to advance partnerships with other cities located within South King County. GOAL HHS-D: Partner with the community to help provide services and resources so that all residents have food, clothing, and shelter, and have the opportunity to live a healthy, active, safe, and sustainable lifestyle. To achieve this goal, adopt a strategic human services plan that furthers the ability of residents to develop to their fullest potential. POLICIES Policy HHS-15: Work with other jurisdictions and social service organizations to develop a regional approach to end homelessness and, on a local level, with community partners to expand services available to the chronically homeless, temporarily homeless, and other vulnerable populations in Renton. Policy HHS-16: Increase awareness of healthy food options by building collaborative partnerships with community organizations and sharing resources to promote food access and provide education about nutrition and healthy food preparation. ACCESSIBLE AND EFFECTIVE HUMAN SERVICES The Renton Community Needs Assessment for Human Services and Housing identified a number of key human service concerns in the Renton community, including Economic Opportunity, Basic Needs for Families, and Health and Wellness. The Assessment also identified the need for Available Quality Housing and Mobility, which are addressed elsewhere in this element. The Salvation Army Services Center, Credit: City of Renton ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY Most human service and housing programs aim to increase the social and economic well-being of individuals and families. Families with sufficient resources are largely able to attain services and housing to meet their needs. In general, improving economic opportunity in a community for those who face barriers to employment, career advancement, and other forms of economic opportunity can improve, prevent, or reduce needs for social service and housing supports. In some cases, families with otherwise adequate purchasing power will have needs that outstrip their resources. The Community Needs Assessment identified the need to provide or promote:  Support for adults who face barriers to employment; and  Access to living-wage jobs and career advancement. BASIC NEEDS FOR FAMILIES There are families in Renton experiencing significant economic hardship who are unable to meet their most basic needs, including adequate shelter and having enough to eat. While this is a small percentage of all families, the needs are very urgent. While immediate services are needed for those who are in crisis, preventative support such as increased economic opportunity and education on managing household expenses is also needed. AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) HOUSING AND HUMAN SERVICES ELEMENT PAGE 43 CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Priority areas of focus for human services include:  Improved access to quality food;  Day and night shelters that offer a range of services for homeless families. HEALTH & WELLNESS Health and wellness is fundamental to quality of life. The Community Needs Assessment documented a dominant theme in human services stakeholder feedback that there are structural and personal obstacles that many individuals and families face to adequate healthcare. Areas of focus for human services include:  Better access to health and dental care for low- income residents;  Early childhood screenings and parenting support; and  More mental health and substance abuse services  More mental health and substance abuse services. NEIGHBORHOOD OPPORTUNITY Neighborhood opportunity reflects a person or family’s ability to access the services and amenities they need to lead socially and economically successful lives. In almost all cities, access to services and amenities is driven by the attainability of housing options in different neighborhoods, and as a result is geographically unequally distributed. This results in uneven access and functional barriers to services and opportunity. In addition to mobility addressed elsewhere in this Element, the following needs were highlighted in the Community Needs Assessment:  More high quality out-of-school time opportunities for youth, including programs and activities that engage youth to learn and practice social skills that lead to life and academic success; and  Increased access to affordable, quality, early childhood education. GOAL HHS-E: Actively participate in local, regional, state, and federal programs to address human services needs in the region and in Renton. POLICIES Policy HHS-17: Build on collaborative relationships; partner with local agencies and school districts to increase affordability and availability of early- childhood education, after-school youth engagement opportunities, and preparation for college/career. Policy HHS-18: Work with community partners to support people who face barriers to getting and staying employed, need job training, and who desire career advancement. Policy HHS-19: Promote healthcare equity and increase the availability of: medical and dental care, mental health and substance abuse services, early childhood screenings, and parenting support. Policy HHS-20: Strengthen collaborative partnerships between cities and regional, state, federal, and public and private sector providers of human services.

POLICIES Policy HHS-21: Promote an individualized approach for vulnerable people by utilizing community services and transportation assistance. Policy HHS-22: Develop incentives to encourage food outlets to locate in Renton so that healthy foods are accessible, with an emphasis on school- age children. MOBILITY Transportation and mobility is an important component of all forms of opportunity. Lack of mobility creates obstacles for individuals and families to access the services they need. Renton, like many suburban cities, has a need for improved mobility and transportation options. For a family with very little income, lack of mobility and transportation services can limit a household’s ability to obtain basic goods and services, receive medical or dental care, commute to a job, and maintain employment. Current barriers to mobility in Renton include:  Inequitable access to public transit, with limited options for those who do not live Downtown, do not commute during peak travel times, or who need to travel within Renton (instead of between downtowns). This negatively impacts mobility for all residents, but is especially problematic for individuals and families who do not have access to a vehicle. The most vulnerable groups include low-income households who are unable to afford vehicle ownership, as well as, residents who are unable to drive.  Elderly and disabled residents with personal mobility issues also face the challenge of not being able to walk longer distances to and from a bus stop, further limiting their opportunities to use public transit.  Many pedestrian and bike routes connecting Renton’s residential areas with basic services are unsafe, which further limits transportation alternatives for households without a vehicle.

The City of Renton strives to provide access to parks, indoor and outdoor recreation facilities, natural areas and trails, and focuses on developing a unique and varied system. Renton’s natural areas are a critical link between people and their environment, build stewardship ethic and attract residents and businesses. Planning for natural areas provides a balance between public access to natural areas with the need to protect and conserve natural resources. Alternatively, Renton’s developed parks offer a wide range of indoor and outdoor recreation facilities supporting the vision for healthy and active lifestyles. Recreation programing connects people, builds community, fosters volunteerism and creates long term partnerships, especially with other major community resources. The goals and policies in the Comprehensive Plan are intended to illustrate the desired future for the community, while giving the Community Services Department the flexibility it needs to achieve these goals. Park trail, Credit: City of Renton GOALS P-A: Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resource Areas provide the opportunity for the community to connect to, participate in, support and encourage a healthy environment and active lifestyle.

Community Plans are a unifying force that identify local characteristics and addresses local issues that are not in the Comprehensive Plan, such as patterns of land use, design, traffic circulation, and services. Community Plans result from a partnership between the City and community residents, businesses, and other stakeholders in the Planning Area. The purpose of Community Planning is to enhance that which the community values, as well as to identify and assure sensible growth and development, consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Community Plans align the provision of City services and the allocation of infrastructure investments with community goals and priorities. GOALS CP-A: Engage the public with the opportunity to participate in a partnership with the City shaping the future of their community. CP-B: Through Community Planning, improve the livability of Renton’s neighborhoods, preserve unique identities, foster and enhance community character, and prioritize the provision of City services and investment in infrastructure. CP-C: Ensure Community Plans implement the goals of the City and the Growth Management Act and that there is consistency between the Comprehensive Plan, Community Plans, and Development Regulations. POLICIES Policy CP-1: Develop Plans in conjunction with the people of the Community; this includes coordinating with recognized neighborhood associations, business associations, and other community groups, as well as, business owners and community residents. Policy CP-2: Engage in consistent and ongoing public participation because it is essential in developing relevant plans and in implementing plans successfully. Policy CP-3: Community Plans establish the vision of the Community and identify features and characteristics to retain, develop, preserve, enhance, or correct. They also seek to identify local centers where housing, employment, and services are accommodated in a compact urban form. Finally, plans seek to identify opportunities to enhance community character and mix of uses through infill development, redevelopment, and reuse of existing buildings. Renton Community Members, Credit: City of Renton Policy CP-4: Develop plans that supplement and refine the goals, objectives, and policies of the Comprehensive Plan within the Community Planning Areas and that make recommendations on land use designations, design standards, and capital improvements within the Community Planning Areas. The City of Renton has 10 Community Planning Areas. The City began community planning in 2010 and is working towards adopting plans for each of the Planning Areas AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) COMMUNITY PLANNING ELEMENT PAGE 51 CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Policy CP-5: Recognize that unique districts and neighborhoods exist within Community Planning Areas and, if appropriate, include provisions for subarea or neighborhood plans for these areas in a Community Plan. Policy CP-6: Implement Community Plans in concert with Community Plan Advisory Boards who make recommendations based on the adopted vision and goals of their Community Plan regarding the provision of City services and infrastructure investment. COMMUNITY PLANNING AREAS MAP Community Planning Areas share community identity, schools, existing infrastructure, physical features, service areas, districts, access to and from the community, and/or data collection units. Based on those traits, at a Neighborhood Program Neighbor to Neighbor meeting, residents began the process of identifying Community Planning Areas. City elected officials and staff refined the drafted maps and following review of Planning Commission and City Council the formal Community Planning Areas map was adopted. The Map shows ten Community Planning Areas in the City of Renton and its Potential Annexation Area. Boundaries are not final until the adoption of the Community Plan. ADOPTED COMMUNITY PLANS Over time, community plans will be developed for each of the ten, Community Planning Areas. Copies of all adopted Community Plans can be obtained by contacting the Planning Division of the Department of Community and Economic Development. The following plans have been adopted:  The City Center Community Plan  The Benson Hill Community Plan Figure CP-1: Community Planning Areas Map AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) UTILITIES ELEMENT CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGE 52 UTILITIES ELEMENT - Ensuring reliable, cost-effective, and essential utilities for the community – DISCUSSION The Utilities Element guides future utility service within Renton’s planning area and ensures that adequate utility services will be available to support existing and future development in the City. The goals and policies included in the Utilities Element are designed to promote efficient, cost-effective utility service while meeting community needs and protecting both existing neighborhoods and the natural environment. The City of Renton provides water, wastewater, and surface water utility services to Renton residents, as well as some areas outside City boundaries. The City contracts with a private hauler for solid waste and recycling collection and coordinates with King County for use of regional solid waste disposal facilities. Several non-City utility providers also operate within Renton, providing water and sewer service for developed areas that have been annexed. Other non-City utilities include electric, natural gas, and telecommunications (cable television, internet, wired telephone, and cellular telephone/data services). Under the Growth Management Act, planned land use patterns and growth must be supported by adequate levels of utility service. The Utilities Element must therefore ensure that adequate levels of utility service are available to serve the levels of growth that are discussed in the Land Use Element. Functional plans for each utility system must also accommodate projected growth in their respective service areas, based on these adopted growth allocations. A detailed discussion of City utility system capacity and the City’s adopted growth allocations is contained in Appendix C: Land Use Assumptions and Utility Plans, which is hereby adopted by reference. The relationship of the Land Use Element, Utilities Element, and City utility functional plans is shown in Figure U-1. Major challenges related to the provision of utility services include the following:  Recent annexations have created large areas of the City, mostly in southeastern Renton, where water and/or sewer service is provided by non- City providers.  Much of the City’s existing wastewater infrastructure is approaching the end of its useful life and will require replacement in the near future.  New requirements for implementation of Low Impact Development (LID) are included in the NPDES Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit for Western Washington, issued by the Department of Ecology in 2012. These requirements may affect development patterns in Renton and may result in new methods for handling stormwater runoff. Increased use of on-site infiltration may affect aquifer recharge and groundwater quality. Figure U-1: Utilities Planning Relationships AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) UTILITIES ELEMENT PAGE 53 CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN GOALS U-A: Provide an adequate level of public utilities consistent with land use, protection of the environment, and annexation goals and policies. U-B: Ensure the long-term protection of the quality and quantity of the groundwater resources of the City of Renton in order to maintain a safe and adequate potable water supply for the City. POLICIES Policy U-1: All utility services and systems should be consistent with the growth projections and development concepts established in this Comprehensive Plan. Policy U-2: Protect the health and safety of Renton citizens from environmental hazards associated with utility systems through the proper design and siting of utility facilities. Policy U-3: Promote co-location of new utility infrastructure within rights-of-way and utility corridors, and coordinate construction and replacement of utility systems with other public infrastructure projects to minimize construction- related costs and disruptions. Policy U-4: Coordinate with adjacent jurisdictions and non-City service providers within Renton to cooperatively plan for regional growth. Policy U-5: Approval of development should be conditioned on the availability of adequate utility service and should not result in decreases in local levels of service for existing development. All new development should be required to pay their fair share of construction costs for necessary utility system improvements. Policy U-6: Encourage the use of water and energy conservation technologies to provide utility services in an environmentally responsible manner. Policy U-7: Non-City utility systems should be constructed in a manner that minimizes negative impacts to existing development and should not interfere with operation of City utilities. City development regulations should otherwise not impair the ability of utility providers to adequately serve customers. Policy U-8: Encourage the use of new technology to increase the quality and efficiency of utility service and utility system management. CITY-MANAGED UTILITIES WATER The Renton Water System is a publicly owned water system operated by the City of Renton as a self- supporting enterprise utility. Operations and system planning are guided by the City of Renton Comprehensive Water System Plan (2012) and the provisions of Chapter 246-290 of the Washington Administrative Code (WAC), Group A Public Water Supplies. The City provides water service to an area of approximately 16 square miles, generally coincident with City boundaries, though portions of northeastern and southeastern Renton (East Renton Plateau and Benson Hill) are currently served by non-city water providers. Figure UT-2 shows the boundaries of the City’s water service area and those of adjacent water purveyors. The master planning of utilities is necessary for cost-effective development and maintenance of essential public and private utility systems. AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) UTILITIES ELEMENT CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGE 54 WATER SUPPLY AND SYSTEM CAPACITY The City’s water supply is from a combination of groundwater wells, Springbrook Watershed, and a partial contract with Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) for Boeing facilities. City water sources represent 95% of the City’s supplies and the SPU agreement represents 5%. There are also emergency interties with adjacent cities. The current capacity of the City’s active supply wells is 19,450 gallons per minute (gpm), or 27.29 million gallons per day (mgd). Emergency wells and interties with adjacent water systems can provide an additional 14,695 gpm (21.16 mgd). The City also maintains two interties with Seattle Public Utilities dedicated to supplying water to the Boeing’s Renton Plant and an intertie with the Skyway Water and Sewer District, which purchases water wholesale from Renton. The City’s water system also includes a network of ten storage reservoirs, consisting of underground concrete and steel tanks, above-ground steel tanks, elevated steel tanks and standpipes, and covered concrete- lined surface reservoirs. The overall gross storage volume available is approximately 22.88 million gallons. Detailed descriptions of the City’s supply wells, storage reservoirs, and all interties with other systems are included in the Comprehensive Water System Plan. GOALS U-C: Provide and maintain a consistent, ample, and safe water supply for the City and future service areas through system planning consistent with anticipated development. U-D: Protect water supply resources and ensure that groundwater quality is not negatively impacted by future development. POLICIES WATER SUPPLY AND SERVICE Policy U-9: Provide and maintain water supply, infrastructure, and service consistent with projected population growth within the City’s service area, as established in the Land Use Element and the Water System Comprehensive Plan. Figure U-2: City of Renton Water System Service Area AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) UTILITIES ELEMENT PAGE 55 CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Policy U-10: Extend water service within the City’s water service area in an orderly manner to serve anticipated growth and development in accordance with the Land Use Element. Policy U-11: Ensure adequate water supply to meet both average and maximum daily demand. Employ monitoring of water supply sources and withdrawal limits as necessary to comply with State issued water rights certificates and permits. Policy U-12: Maintain and upgrade the water system to deliver adequate water flow and storage for fire protection to all customers and facilities connected to the City water system. Policy U-13: Continue maintenance and upgrades to the water system to ensure water quality that meets or exceeds all health requirements. Policy U-14: Coordinate with non-City water providers operating within Renton and neighboring jurisdictions where the City has extended water service to accommodate road construction and other public works projects. Policy U-15: Practice and support water resource management that achieves a maximum net benefit for all citizens and promotes enhancement of the natural environment. Policy U-16: Actively promote voluntary water conservation and coordinate with Seattle Public Utilities to meet regional water conservation goals. Policy U-17: Implement the City’s Wellhead Protection Plan and Aquifer Protection Program to preserve groundwater quality. Policy U-18: Emphasize the use of stormwater management techniques that maximize water quality and infiltration where appropriate, which will not endanger groundwater quality. Policy U-19: Promote the use of interlocal agreements with other agencies to restrict land use in sensitive aquifer recharge areas to minimize possible sources of pollution and the potential for erosion, and to increase infiltration. WASTEWATER The Renton sewer system is a publicly owned wastewater system operated by the City of Renton as a self-supporting enterprise utility. Operations and system planning are guided by the City of Renton Long-Range Wastewater Management Plan. The City collects wastewater from a service area of approximately 21.68 square miles, with approximately 3.91 square miles located outside City limits. Primary collection of wastewater is achieved through gravity sewer lines, though the City maintains a series of lift stations and force mains to overcome changes in topography. Collected wastewater is discharged to King County wastewater facilities, where it is ultimately transmitted to the King County South Treatment Reclamation Plant for treatment. Some portions of the City are not served by municipal sewer, and are instead connected to non- City sewer districts. Figure U-3 shows the boundaries of the City’s sewer service area and those of adjacent service providers. SYSTEM CAPACITY Sewer system capacity is dependent on a number of factors, including adequately sized pipes to collect wastewater, properly sloped pipes to allow adequate gravity flow, the capacity of downstream treatment facilities to accept wastewater, and the level of inflow and infiltration into the system. An updated hydraulic computer model of the City’s wastewater system was completed in 2006, and the City uses this model to evaluate the effects of changes to the sewer system resulting from new development, changes to the existing system, or future population growth. Hydraulic modeling does not show any current capacity deficiencies in the City’s system, but capacity is projected to become an issue at various locations as the City nears the “ultimate build-out” year of 2030. King County’s handling of wastewater flows from the Renton system also contributes to potential capacity issues. During peak flows, King County interceptor lines are sometimes used to store wastewater while the South Treatment Plant is AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) UTILITIES ELEMENT CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGE 56 temporarily over-capacity or when flows to the treatment plant need to be limited for other reasons. When these interceptor lines cannot flow freely, they may cause back-ups in connected systems, including Renton. During such conditions, the City system has experienced sewer surcharging in low-lying areas, resulting in wastewater overflowing through manhole covers and side sewer connections. INFRASTRUCTURE REPLACEMENT Much of Renton’s existing sewer infrastructure dates from the 1940’s and 1950’s, installed as part of federal programs to provide housing for workers at the Renton Boeing Plant. Sewer infrastructure in the Central Business District is even older, much of it dating from the 1920’s and 1930’s. These facilities have reached the end of their useful life and many are in need of replacement. The Long- Range Wastewater Management Plan establishes a list of recommended capital improvements to the sewer system, ranked in priority order, which includes extensive replacement of wastewater collection pipes, elimination or replacement of lift stations, and rehabilitation or improvement of aging interceptor lines. A complete list of proposed capital improvements is included in Chapter 6 of the Long-Range Wastewater Management Plan. Figure U-3: City of Renton Sewer System Service Area AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) UTILITIES ELEMENT PAGE 57 CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INFLOW/INFILTRATION MANAGEMENT Inflow results from storm water flowing into the sewer system, either during a storm incident or from an illegal connection. Infiltration results from groundwater entering the sewer system through leaking pipe joints, cracks, or other defects in the sewer system. While some level of Inflow/Infiltration (I/I) is unavoidable, excessive volumes can place a strain on the system, taking up valuable conveyance and treatment capacity with relatively clean water. The City participates in King County’s regional I/I management program by implementing I/I reduction techniques, such as minimizing vent holes, sealing manholes in wet areas, and conducting video inspections of sewer lines to check for leaks. Older sewer infrastructure is more susceptible to I/I, and the City has identified priority areas for investigation and replacement. A complete discussion of the City’s I/I monitoring efforts is contained in the Long-Range Wastewater Management Plan. GOALS U-E: Ensure the availability of an adequate level of sanitary sewer service through system planning that is consistent with land use, environmental protection, and annexation goals and policies. U-F: Provide and maintain a sanitary sewer collection system that is consistent with the public health and water quality objectives of the State of Washington and the City of Renton. POLICIES SEWER SERVICE CAPACITY AND AVAILABILITY Policy U-20: Sewer facilities and services should be consistent with the growth and development concepts expressed in the Land Use Element. Extension of sewer service should be coordinated with expected growth and development. Policy U-21: All new development should be required to connect to the sanitary sewer system, except properties that have adequate soils to support on-site septic systems, are zoned for low density single family residential development, located away from environmentally sensitive areas, and outside Aquifer Protection Areas. Policy U-22: Projected sewage flows from development should be calculated based on adopted land use plans and policies. These projections should be used as a guide in developing the wastewater Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The CIP should be updated as land use plans and policies are revised. Policy U-23: Coordinate with non-City sewer providers operating within Renton and neighboring jurisdictions where the City has extended sewer service to accommodate road construction and other public works projects. The Surface Water Utility develops policies, design standards, and capital projects to maintain and restore the quality of Renton’s lakes, wetlands, streams, and rivers, improve drainage, and reduce flooding. AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) UTILITIES ELEMENT CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGE 58 WATER QUALITY AND PUBLIC HEALTH Policy U-24: Timely and orderly extension of the sewer system should be provided within the City’s existing and future service areas to meet public health requirements. Policy U-25: Sewer system improvements supporting areas of the City projected to experience high levels of growth should be prioritized to ensure that sewer service is concurrent with anticipated growth. Policy U-26: Protect surface and groundwater quality through coordination with King County to reduce surcharging conditions that may cause wastewater overflows. Policy U-27: Continue coordination with King County Wastewater Division regarding Inflow/Infiltration reduction initiatives, system improvements, and interconnections between City and County sewer infrastructure. SURFACE WATER THE SURFACE WATER SYSTEM Renton’s surface water system consists of natural streams, rivers, wetlands, and lakes, and constructed systems that manage drainage, provide flood protection, and water quality treatment. Surface water management is important to meet social, economic, and ecological needs including flood protection, erosion control, water supply, groundwater recharge, fish and wildlife habitat, and recreation. CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES Impervious surfaces in an urban, growing community such as Renton can affect surface and groundwater quality through stormwater runoff containing pollutants from roads and parking lots and landscaping. Impervious surfaces can also decrease groundwater recharge and increase the quantity of peak flows of runoff, causing stream channel scouring, sedimentation, and loss of habitat. The existing surface water drainage system is meeting capacity requirements under normal conditions. However, in some areas of the City, the system has become inadequate to serve present needs during large, infrequent storm events. In more developed areas of the City within the Lower Cedar River and Lake Washington East Basins, problems include flooding and ponding caused by inadequately sized pipes, ditches and detention facilities. In other areas of the City, such as the Black River Basin, loss of wetlands and fish passage are concerns, as well as, development occurring within the watershed, both inside and outside the City. In areas where redevelopment is likely such as the Renton Urban Center, Sunset Area, and other centers, redeveloped properties would be required to provide water quality treatment, which could improve water quality over present conditions. Additionally, as new development and redevelopment occur, Low Impact Development (LID) practices would be implemented to conserve native soils and vegetation, protect hydrologic processes (e.g., infiltration), and reduce and treat overland stormwater flow to more closely match native forest or prairie conditions. Selected examples of LID techniques include bioretention planters, rain gardens, and permeable sidewalks. Cedar River, Credit: City of Renton AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) UTILITIES ELEMENT PAGE 59 CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LID works to provide water quality treatment and reduce stormwater flow. SURFACE WATER UTILITY Renton’s Surface Water Utility manages stormwater and surface water in Renton’s city limits which has grown from about 17 square miles in the year 2000 to 24 square miles in 2013. Figure U-4 illustrates the Surface Water Utility service area and its component drainage basins. The Utility develops policies, basin plans, development design standards, and capital improvement projects in order to maintain and restore the quality of Renton’s lakes and rivers, improve drainage, and reduce flooding. The Utility coordinates with the Federal Emergency Management Agency regarding flood hazard management. The Utility also coordinates with multiple state, county, and city agencies to conduct watershed planning for the Green River/Duwamish and Cedar River/Lake Washington Watersheds. The City currently operates a storm system maintenance program that includes cleaning catch basins, pipes and other facilities, along with a street vacuum sweeping program. The maintenance programs remove sediment and pollutants from City-owned and operated storm systems and streets, which reduces flooding and non-point source pollution from being discharged into water bodies in the City. The Utility also provides public education on how homeowners and businesses can help minimize impacts to surface waters such as by using natural lawn care, and avoiding discharges or spills entering drains or waterways. As the City redevelops and annexes territory, greater demand is placed on the Utility to provide planning, regulatory oversight, capital project implementation, and maintenance services it provides today. STATE AND FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS The Utility is responsible for meeting federal and state stormwater requirements. A significant effort for the Utility is compliance with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase II Stormwater Permit. This permit requires the Utility to control discharge of pollutants to protect surface water and to develop and implement a stormwater management program addressing:  Public education and outreach  Public involvement and participation  Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE)  Controlling runoff from new development, redevelopment, and construction sites  Pollution prevention and good housekeeping for municipal operations and maintenance  Post construction stormwater management for new development & redevelopment, including LID  Monitoring  Annual reporting and record keeping of compliance with NPDES permit requirement. AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) UTILITIES ELEMENT CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGE 60 Figure U-4: City of Renton Surface Water Service Area and Drainage Basins AQUIFER PROTECTION COORDINATION Approximately 87 percent of Renton's water is supplied by the Cedar Valley Aquifer, with the rest coming from Springbrook Springs. As Renton's primary water source, the Cedar Valley Aquifer has been designated a "sole source" by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency; no federal financial assistance can be given to a project which might contaminate the aquifer. The City has identified aquifer protection area (APA) zones. Development projects located in either Zone 1, Zone 1 Modified, or Zone 2 of the Aquifer Protection Area (APA) are required to pass additional City review to ensure the projects do not produce water quantity and/or quality impacts that may affect the aquifer. Areas of particular concern include areas subject to vehicular traffic or the storage of chemicals. In some areas, infiltration AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) UTILITIES ELEMENT PAGE 61 CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN systems are not allowed and could increase runoff, requiring new facilities to be larger.

SOLID WASTE While solid waste collection is managed by the City, Renton maintains an interlocal agreement with King County for disposal of collected solid waste. This interlocal agreement also authorizes King County to include Renton in its Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan. Renton’s Solid Waste Utility administers the City’s solid waste, recycling, and yard/food waste collection for all residents and businesses through a contract with Republic Services, Inc. The City’s Solid Waste Utility also develops and manages Renton’s Recycling Program, waste reduction, hazardous waste education, and special collection events. COLLECTION PROCESS AND SOLID WASTE FACILITIES Solid waste and recycling are collected every other week, while food/yard waste is collected weekly. The majority of collected waste is brought to King County’s Renton Transfer Station located in the Renton Highlands. Residents of unincorporated King County, as well as City residents are also allowed to use this facility for self-haul disposal. Also within city limits is the Black River Construction, Demolition, and Land Clearing Transfer Station (CDL), overseen by Republic Services, Inc. Under a contract with King County, this facility accepts construction, demolition, and land clearing waste from waste hauling companies and private residents. AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) UTILITIES ELEMENT CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGE 64 Waste Management trucks, Credit: Waste Management, Inc. Following the city-administered collection process, all solid waste produced in Renton is brought to the King County Solid Waste Division’s Cedar Hills Regional Landfill, located southeast of Renton. All recyclables collected from single-family, duplex, and multi-family residents are brought to a recycling center while all food/yard waste from single-family and duplex residents is taken to Cedar Grove Recycling in Maple Valley. Cedar Hills Regional Landfill, Credit: Parametrix, Inc. ESTIMATED CAPACITY OF FACILITIES As of 2012, the remaining airspace capacity (with anticipated settling) at the Cedar Hills Regional Landfill is 9 million cubic yards. However, an additional waste disposal area that is currently in planning will add another 8.6 million cubic yards by 2017, bringing the total estimated airspace capacity to 17.7 million cubic yards. Under current planning assumptions, the landfill has a remaining operating life of nearly 15 years. The Cedar Grove Recycling Center has a yearly capacity of 195,000 tons of organic material. At this time, the capacities of the Renton Transfer Station, the Cedar Hills Landfill, the Cascade Recycling Center, and Cedar Grove Recycling are sufficient to meet the City’s needs. KING COUNTY SOLID WASTE DIVISION The King County Solid Waste Division serves unincorporated King County and 37 of the 39 cities in the County, including Renton. It manages a complex network of collections, transportation, and processing for garbage, recyclables, organics, and construction and demolition debris. The services and infrastructure of the public and private sectors are included in the County’s integrated network to establish long-term capacity for the management of solid waste in the County. GOAL U-L: Provide a responsible, comprehensive solid waste management program that provides cost- effective, environmentally sensitive service to the community. POLICIES Policy U-55: Actively promote recycling, as well as overall reduction of both the residential and commercial solid waste streams through public education programs and incentive programs. Policy U-56: Work closely with King County Solid Waste Division to plan for regional solid waste collection and disposal, including siting of facilities. Policy U-57: Coordinate with King County’s Local Hazardous Waste Management Program to provide opportunities for residents to dispose of commercial and household hazardous materials in a safe, environmentally sound manner. Policy U-58: Administer the City’s contracts with private waste haulers to ensure capacity for collection of solid waste, recycling, and food waste that is adequate to serve both existing and future population and that solid waste is handled in a manner that minimizes the potential for land, air, and water contamination. NON-CITY MANAGED UTILITIES Non-City managed utilities operating within Renton conduct their own planning processes and maintain their own systems with limited involvement from the City, and expansion of these systems is often driven by consumer demand and not solely on regional growth forecasts, though those are AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) UTILITIES ELEMENT PAGE 65 CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN considered. An overview of the major non-City utility providers offering service within Renton is provided in this section, as well as policies to ensure that Renton is aware of non-City utility upgrades and utility providers are aware of City needs. WATER While the majority of Renton is served by the City’s publicly owned water system, portions of northeastern and southeastern Renton (East Renton Plateau and Benson Hill) are currently served by various non-City water providers; the two largest are Soos Creek Water & Sewer and King County Water District #90. SOOS CREEK WATER & SEWER Soos Creek is a municipal corporation of King County that operates across multiple incorporated cities and unincorporated King County. Its retail water service area covers approximately 16 square miles (with the majority located within the Cities of Renton and Kent) and serves more than 23,400 equivalent residential units (ERUs). While only one pump station and one reservoir are located within Renton city limits, City residents are served by the broader system that utilizes the District’s entire infrastructure. In 1997, the City of Renton and Soos Creek signed an interlocal agreement for the establishment of water and sewer service area boundaries. An addendum to the agreement occurred in 2004 that included a transfer of facilities and a re-establishment of service boundaries. SUPPLY, SYSTEM CAPACITY, AND PROJECTED DEMAND Soos Creek’s water supply is provided exclusively by Seattle Public Utilities (SPU), with flow occurring from four locations. The current contract with SPU guarantees a total of 7,000 gallons per minute, which is less than the current projected maximum daily demand (MDD) of 7,500 gallons per minute and the projected MDD of 9,458 gallons per minute in 20 years. Increased water supply could become available in the future if the District revises its contract with Seattle Public Utilities. PLANNED SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS The District’s capital facility plan identifies capital improvements to be built over the next 20 years, including short and long term projects aimed at improving the District’s existing system to meet its policies and criteria and respond to projected growth. The types of projects planned include: supply and source projects, pressure zone projects, storage facility projects, intertie projects, and distribution and transmission projects. KING COUNTY WATER DISTRICT #90 King County Water District #90 is a special purpose district located in the Renton Highlands area of unincorporated King County, directly east of and adjacent to the City of Renton. It serves just fewer than 6,000 direct service connections in a service area of approximately 15 square miles (9,770 acres). Because it provides water service to some areas inside the City of Renton, the District maintains an interlocal agreement that details the conditions of the District’s operations, infrastructure, and service within the City. WATER SUPPLY AND SYSTEM CAPACITY Seattle Public Utility (SPU) currently supplies 70% of the District’s water. The District provides the other 30% of its water supply from a groundwater well and treatment facility, located off Jones Road, that it operates and maintains. In total, the District’s water supply capacity is 3,450 gpm. AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) UTILITIES ELEMENT CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGE 66 PLANNED SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS The District’s Capital Improvement Plan presents recommended improvements over a 20-year period. It addresses construction of new facilities and upgrades to existing facilities to provide for projected growth. The District is planning to focus on improved system reliability through astute upsizing of critical pipes and additional looping of water mains. Another major project that will be addressed in phases is the expansion of one of the major pressure zones to address areas of low pressure and improve the utilization of the two main storage reservoirs. GOAL U-M: Ensure that water service from non-City providers is available to support development that is consistent with City land use plans and policies, as well as, the policies of the service provider. POLICIES Policy U-59: Maintain coordination with non-City water providers to ensure that they have adequate capacity to serve planned development within the City of Renton. Policy U-60: Work collaboratively with non-City water providers to identify opportunities for joint projects to minimize potential impacts to neighborhoods and the environment. Policy U-61: Coordinate with non-City water providers to ensure that all water systems operating in Renton have access to sufficient emergency water flow for fire protection. Policy U-62: Before issuing building permits to new development in areas not served by the City of Renton Water Utility, require applicants to provide a certificate of water availability stating that sufficient water supply is available to meet both regular and fire flow requirements. WASTEWATER While most of Renton is served by the City Wastewater Utility, portions of the City are served by other wastewater providers, most notably in areas of southeastern Renton annexed in 2008. The largest non-City provider of sewer service is Soos Creek Water & Sewer. Soos Creek is a municipal corporation of King County that operates across multiple incorporated cities and unincorporated King County. The district covers portions of multiple cities and provides sewer service to approximately 92,500 customers within its 35-square mile service area. Primary collection of wastewater is through gravity mains and trunks that drain to interceptors or lift stations. Wastewater leaves the District at a total of 19 locations, with three discharge connections to the City of Renton. Collected wastewater is treated at King County’s Renton treatment facility. Soos Creek Water & Sewer District's Lift Station 10B, Credit: Harbor Pacific Contractors, Inc. SYSTEM CAPACITY The District utilizes hydraulic modeling, forecasted population growth, and a range of assumptions to prepare existing, 10-year, 20-year, and ultimate build-out scenario analyses that identify potential deficiencies within the system. These analyses identified relatively few capacity deficiencies in the portion of the District’s Renton service area. Currently, capacity issues exist in two gravity lines that discharge to the City of Renton sewer system. Additional capacity issues are projected to develop in southeastern Renton as development continues. AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) UTILITIES ELEMENT PAGE 67 CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN Based on the system analyses described above, a range of necessary improvements have been identified to meet the District’s future sewerage needs. Improvements have been classified as either short-term (within the next 10 years) or long-term (through ultimate build-out) and fall under one of two categories: pipe replacements/upgrades or lift station replacement/upgrades. Funding has also been allocated to conduct general facilities upgrades and maintenance. GOAL U-N: Ensure that sewer service from non-City providers is available to support development that is consistent with City land use plans and policies, as well as, the policies of the service provider. POLICIES Policy U-63: Maintain coordination with non-City sewer providers to ensure that they have adequate capacity to serve planned development within the City of Renton. Policy U-64: Work collaboratively with non-City sewer providers to identify opportunities for joint projects to minimize potential impacts to neighborhoods and the environment. Policy U-65: Ensure that wastewater flows from areas served by non-City providers do not create capacity deficiencies where non-City sewer lines discharge to the City of Renton system. Coordinate with both sewer providers and City development services staff to ensure such areas have adequate sewer capacity before development is approved. Policy U-66: Before issuing building permits to new development in areas not served by the City of Renton Wastewater Utility, require applicants to provide a certificate of sewer availability stating that sufficient capacity is available to meet both regular and peak demand. ELECTRICITY Electricity is distributed in Renton by a combination of three purveyors, which are part of an integrated transmission grid that connects production and consumption locations across the Pacific Northwest. Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), the regional administrative entity of the U.S. Department of Energy, operates major transmission lines that transmit power from generation facilities to retailers across the state, who then sell power to local customers. Most electricity customers in Renton are served by Puget Sound Energy (PSE), while Seattle City Light (SCL) provides power to the Bryn Mawr and Skyway areas, including some customers within current Renton city limits. ELECTRIC FACILITIES The electric transmission grid consists of high- voltage transmission lines (115 kilovolts (kV) or above) and distribution lines (55 kV and lower). Distribution substations transform high-voltage current into lower voltages suitable for distribution on local lines. Local transformers further reduce voltage to levels suitable for use by customers. Bonneville Power Administration Facilities BPA Transmission lines at voltages of 500 kV, 345 kV, and 230 kV enter the Renton Planning Area from the east and south, terminating at the Maple Valley Substation in southeastern Renton. The Maple Valley Substation provides power to Puget Sound Energy’s adjacent Talbot Hill Substation, which distributes electricity to local PSE customers. Bonneville power lines, Credit: The Columbian Publishing Co. AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) UTILITIES ELEMENT CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGE 68 Puget Sound Energy Facilities As the primary electricity retailer in Renton, PSE maintains a variety of transmission lines, distribution lines, and substations in the area for provision of power to local customers. Locally, PSE distributes power from its Talbot Hill Substation, located adjacent to BPA’s Maple Valley Substation in southeastern Renton. Seattle City Light Facilities Seattle City Light maintains distribution lines and two minor distribution substations in a small portion of the Renton Planning Area. Power is provided to these substations by Seattle’s Creston distribution substation, located outside Renton’s planning area. GROWTH AND CAPACITY As population in Renton continues to grow, demand for electricity will increase. BPA, PSE, and SCL all conduct ongoing system planning efforts to ensure adequate energy supply is available for their customers and that transmission and distribution infrastructure can accommodate anticipated demand. PSE has planned additional transmission lines and upgrades to existing infrastructure to increase system reliability and capacity in response to growth, as well as construction of a new substation. Seattle City Light has likewise planned for the replacement of existing aging infrastructure in the Skyway and Bryn Mawr areas with new, higher-voltage distribution lines. GOAL U-O: Promote the availability of safe, adequate, and efficient electrical service within the City and its planning area, consistent with the regulatory obligation of the utility to serve customers. POLICIES Policy U-67: Coordinate with local and regional electricity providers to ensure the siting and location of transmission and distribution facilities is accomplished in a manner that minimizes adverse impacts on the environment and adjacent land uses. Policy U-68: Encourage electricity purveyors to make facility improvements and additions within existing utility corridors wherever possible. Policy U-69: Require underground electricity infrastructure installation to be coordinated with the City of Renton Public Works Department to prevent cross-boring through existing water, sewer, or natural gas lines. NATURAL GAS Natural gas service in Renton is provided by Puget Sound Energy under a franchise agreement with the City. The gas distribution system consists of a network of pressurized mains and distribution lines that convey natural gas throughout PSE’s service area. PSE receives natural gas from the Northwest Pipeline Corporation, which operates large, interstate natural gas pipelines. Two pipelines cross the Renton Planning Area and terminate at the South Seattle Gate Station. PSE mains extend from the gate station, distributing the gas to pressure regulators and smaller lines, which provide natural gas to customers. GROWTH AND FACILITY CAPACITY Natural gas system capacity is primarily a function of the volume of gas flowing from the Northwest Pipeline Corporation pipelines, and demand fluctuates based on power consumption. Natural gas is used primarily as fuel for home heating, so demand is highest during winter months and peaks during extremely cold weather. PSE maintains storage tanks that provide a reserve against such periods of high demand. In the event of supply shortfalls from extreme demand, residential customers are granted first priority for service. Because it is clean-burning and less expensive than other energy sources, the popularity of natural gas has risen in recent years, and this trend is expected to continue. Population growth within PSE’s service area will also increase demand for natural gas. Puget Sound Energy conducts ongoing system planning to ensure an adequate supply is available to customers. Improvements to regional infrastructure, including the South Seattle Gate Station, and construction of additional high AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) UTILITIES ELEMENT PAGE 69 CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN pressure mains, have been planned. Precise timing and location of infrastructure improvements will be determined based on right-of-way permitting, environmental analysis, and coordination with the City of Renton. Natural Gas pipe replacement, Credit: PSE GOAL U-P: Promote the safe transport and delivery of natural gas and other fuels within the planning area. POLICIES Policy U-70: Coordinate with local and regional purveyors of natural gas for the siting of transmission and distribution infrastructure within the Renton Planning Area. Policy U-71: Support voluntary energy conservation and efficiency programs, including the supplementation of natural gas supplies with new technologies. Policy U-72: Allow extension of natural gas distribution infrastructure within the Renton Planning Area, provided such facilities are consistent with development assumptions in the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan. Policy U-73: Require underground natural gas infrastructure installation to be coordinated with the City of Renton Public Works Department to prevent cross-boring through existing utility lines. TELEPHONE Conventional telephone service in Renton is provided by CenturyLink (formerly Qwest Communications). CenturyLink is an investor-owned corporation and one of the largest telecommunications companies in the United States, serving millions of customers nationwide. CenturyLink also provides broadband internet service and satellite television service through DirecTV. Digital phone service is also provided by Comcast in conjunction with their cable television and internet services. TELEPHONE FACILITIES Conventional telephone facilities consist of switching station, trunk lines, and distribution lines located throughout Renton. Switching stations direct calls from one line exchange to another, trunk lines connect switching stations to one another, and distribution lines provide phone connections to individual customers. GROWTH AND FACILITY CAPACITY The capacity of conventional telephone switching stations is determined by the type of switch employed. Use of modern digital switches allow for straightforward increases in switch capacity to accommodate growth. Regulations governing telecommunications service require that telephone purveyors provide adequate service on demand. CenturyLink installs new lines and upgrades facilities as required to accommodate customer demand. CELLULAR TELEPHONE AND DATA Cellular phone and data service providers are licensed by the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) for a particular band of radio frequencies. Major cellular service providers operating in Renton include AT&T, Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile, and Sprint. AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) UTILITIES ELEMENT CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGE 70 CELLULAR TELEPHONE AND DATA FACILITIES Cellular telephone systems consist of a series of wireless antennae, each located at the center of a single “cell” of the overall system. The cellular transmitters themselves are generally located where topography and features of the built environment will have the least effect on signal quality, such as existing broadcast communication towers, water towers, high-rise buildings, or vacant open land. GROWTH AND FACILITY CAPACITY The significant growth in wireless phone and data usage over the past few years is anticipated to continue, placing additional demand on existing cellular networks. The capacity of a cellular transmission cell is limited by the number of radio frequencies available for use; the carrier’s FCC license defines what frequency spectrum is allowed. To increase system capacity, carriers often install additional transmitters, thereby creating multiple smaller cells that cover less area than the original, larger cell and serve fewer customers each, increasing overall system capacity. CABLE AND SATELLITE TELEVISION Cable television service in Renton is currently provided by Comcast, and satellite television service is currently provided by DirecTV through an agreement with CenturyLink, allowing customers to bundle their phone, internet, and television services. Satellite television is also available from Dish Network. CABLE TELEVISION FACILITIES Cable television facilities include broadcast receivers, a headend, a trunk system, and a feeder system. After receiving and processing broadcast signals, the trunk and feeder system distribute television signal to individual customers. Cable trunk and feeder lines generally follow existing street rights-of-way. Satellite television facilities generally consist only of receiver dishes installed at individual customer locations, which receive signal directly from orbiting communications satellites. While uplink transmitters are necessary at the origin of the broadcast, no additional local infrastructure is needed to receive satellite television signal. Telecommunications Facility, Credit: City of Renton AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) UTILITIES ELEMENT PAGE 71 CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN GROWTH AND FACILITY CAPACITY Because Comcast currently holds the cable television franchise for the City of Renton, the company must continue to make cable television service available upon request. Comcast offers telecommunications service over a large portion of western Washington in addition to Renton and reviews population growth as part of its ongoing system planning operations. Satellite television services are provided in response to customer requests. Capacity planning occurs at a regional or national scale due to the substantial investment required to use communications satellites. INTERNET Broadband internet service is provided in Renton by a variety of private providers; the two largest are Comcast and CenturyLink, who provide internet services in addition to phone and television. Wireless internet service is also provided by Clearwire through Sprint’s network of cellular communication towers. INTERNET FACILITIES Internet service is provided via cable television infrastructure, telephone lines, or wirelessly. GROWTH AND FACILITY CAPACITY Internet service is not considered an essential public utility and is provided in response to customer requests. Individual providers conduct system planning in response to population growth and increased demands for service. Given the increasing rate of internet adoption in American homes in recent years, it is likely that demand for internet service will continue to increase, and it will be necessary for providers to continue to increase capacity and connection speeds to satisfy demand. GOAL U-Q: Promote the timely and orderly expansion of all forms of telecommunications service within the City and its planning area. POLICIES Policy U-74: Require the siting and location of telecommunications facilities be accomplished in a manner that minimizes adverse impacts on the environment and adjacent land uses. Policy U-75: Require wireless communication structures and towers to be designed and sited to minimize aesthetic impacts and to be co-located on existing structures and towers wherever possible. Policy U-76: Encourage healthy competition among telecommunication service providers in the City to promote high-quality, cost-effective service for Renton residents. Policy U-77: Require underground telecommunication infrastructure installation to be coordinated with the City of Renton Public Works Department to prevent cross-boring through existing water, sewer, or natural gas lines. PLANS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE  City Of Renton Comprehensive Water System Plan  City of Renton Long Range Wastewater Management Plan  King County Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) CAPITAL FACILITIES ELEMENT CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGE 72 CAPITAL FACILITIES ELEMENT - Investing in the City for the prosperity of the community - DISCUSSION The City of Renton is responsible for providing facilities and services that are needed by the residents and businesses of the City for a functional, safe, and efficient environment. Capital facilities and services are City-owned or managed infrastructure, property and services such as, police and fire protection, parks, streets, water and sanitary sewer service, and storm drainage service. The Capital Facilities Element of the Comprehensive Plan consists of two portions: the 20- year Element and the 6-year Program. The Element, which is this chapter of the Plan, contains goals and policies related to capital facilities that are consistent with those of other Comprehensive Plan Elements. The Element relies heavily on the analyses and policies presented in other Elements of the Comprehensive Plan, specifically the Utilities, Land Use, Transportation, and Parks, Recreation, Natural Areas, and Trails Elements. The Program portion is the most current Capital Investment Program, which is supplemented by the most current adopted City Budget, and functional Plans specific to individual City Departments and other service providers. For detailed information and explanations concerning existing, future and improved facilities, as well as the method of financing them, the reader must consult these documents. The Capital Facilities Element incorporates by reference the information and analyses presented in these other documents. With a six-year horizon, the Program inventories existing and proposed capital facilities, forecasts future needs for facilities, identifies deficiencies and necessary improvements of capital facilities, and provides a financing plan. The Capital Investment Program and supplemental plans are separate documents. Capital facilities belonging to privately owned utilities serving Renton are addressed in the Utilities Element of the Plan. GOALS CF-A: Establish policies that enable the development and implementation of the Capital Investment Program in order to provide high- quality, well-maintained facilities and services that support the social, economic, cultural, safety, transportation, environmental, communication and other needs of the community, that are available at the time of development to serve new growth, and are equitably distributed. CF-B: Ensure capital facility investments are prioritized to support growth in the locations targeted in the Land Use Element and that these facilities will be in place when development occurs. CF-C: Identify service standards for capital facilities that meet community expectations for municipal services, and that are consistent for both existing and new development. CF-D: Ensure adequate long-term financial capacity exists to provide capital facilities and services needed to support expected growth, while maintaining adopted level of service standards. POLICIES Policy CF-1: Update the Capital Investment Program in conjunction with the City's regular budget adoption process and ensure anticipated funding is adequate to finance capital facilities that are necessary for development at predetermined levels of service, and in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. If funding is insufficient, adjustments should be made to the levels of service, the Land Use Element, sources of revenue, or any combination thereof. For the purpose of capital facilities planning, plan for forecasted Capital Facilities Planning is an integral element of a comprehensive plan. Infrastructure investments support economic development and have long- term impacts on communities.

Surface water management is important to meet social, economic, and ecological needs including flood protection, erosion control, water supply, groundwater recharge, fish and wildlife habitat, and recreation. Renton’s Surface Water Utility manages stormwater and surface water in Renton’s. The Utility develops policies, basin plans, development design standards, and capital improvement projects in order to maintain and restore the quality of Renton’s lakes and rivers, improve drainage, and reduce flooding. The Utility is responsible for meeting federal and state stormwater requirements. A significant effort for the Utility is compliance with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase II Stormwater Permit. This permit requires the Utility to control discharge of pollutants to protect surface water and to develop and implement a stormwater management program. DOMESTIC WATER The City owns and operates a multi-source municipal water system, which includes supply, treatment, storage, and distribution of potable water to residential, commercial, industrial, and wholesale customers. The City’s water distribution system consists of more than 1.6 million feet of pipeline and provides service to a full-time residential population of approximately 54,000, approximately 20,000 temporary and transient users, and approximately 28,000 regular non- residential users in an area of approximately 16 square miles that is largely coincident with the city limits. In addition, the City supplies water on a wholesale basis to Skyway Water and Sewer District through a single metered connection. Updated every six years, the Water System Plan Update (Plan) develops a long-term planning strategy for the City’s water service area by evaluating the existing system and its ability to meet the anticipated requirements for water source, quality, transmission, storage, and distribution over a twenty-year planning period. Water system improvement projects have been developed to meet the changing demands of regulatory impacts, and population growth, as well as infrastructure repair and replacement. The Plan also identifies planning level costs of the improvement projects and provides a financial plan for funding the projects.

This system consists of approximately 191 miles of gravity sewer, 23 sewage lift stations and force mains, and approximately 5,107 manholes. Wastewater is discharged to King County facilities at 79 locations within the City Service Area from which it is conveyed to and treated by King County’s South Treatment Reclamation Plant. The City of Renton Service Area is divided into six major wastewater collection basins: Black River, Downtown, East Cedar River, East Lake Washington, May Valley, and West Cedar River. For the most part, these major collection basins follow the natural drainage patterns of the Renton service area. Policies, design criteria, and standards used for planning and operating the sanitary sewer system are based on laws and policies that originate from several sources. All these policies and standards have the general purpose of providing an acceptable level of service to the sanitary sewer customers. Analysis and design criteria for the sanitary sewer system are based on standards presented in the Criteria for Sewage Works Design prepared by the Washington State Department of Ecology, as well as, standards set by King County Department of Natural Resources - Wastewater Treatment Division and the City of Renton. Operations and system planning are guided by the City of Renton Long-Range Wastewater Management Plan. PARKS AND RECREATIONAL FACILITIES Renton’s parks, recreation and natural area system is comprised of distinctive parks and popular recreation facilities, providing for a wide range of opportunities and benefits for the community. Parks are also a key gathering point, creating space for building community and providing exposure to history, arts and culture. In addition, many parks in Renton play a critical role in preserving natural areas, protecting wildlife and riparian habitat, conserving natural resources and contributing to clean water and a healthy environment for City residents. FIRE AND EMERGENCY SERVICES Renton Regional Fire Authority (RRFA) fulfills its mission through three core services: Response Operations, Community Risk Reduction, and Safety and Support Services. The RRFA currently has 161 employees, 145 are uniformed personnel. External services include community risk reduction activities that meet the needs of our community prior to an emergency, and response operations activities focused on responding to calls for service and assisting customers as they return to a normal or better condition. Internal services focus primarily on the safety and support of RRFA members, while maintaining effective partnership between the department and the City. Fire protection level of service is primarily influenced by call volume and response time. Service level is constrained by the station location, quantity of stations, number of trucks/units, number of firefighters, and road congestion. POLICE ENFORCEMENT The Renton Police Department is a full-service law enforcement agency with 148 personnel comprised of 120 sworn and 28 non-sworn. The Renton Police Department is accredited by Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs. Accreditation is a significant accomplishment and demonstrates a commitment to excellence. Officers work very diligently to protect life and property, assist in the suppression of crime, apprehend criminals and enforce laws. Community resources, needs, and values determine the level of law enforcement services and facilities. Generally, the higher the density and intensity of land use, the greater the demand for law enforcement services to address the safety of the citizens. Capital facilities associated with police AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) CAPITAL FACILITIES ELEMENT PAGE 77 CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN services include vehicles, office and police equipment which are provided through general funds and grants and determined on an annual basis. Projected capital facility requirements are based on officer response times to different types of “priority” level calls that are received. As the City grows, and response times increase, the need for additional officers will increase, as well as the need for additional police equipment and facilities. TRANSPORTATION The City of Renton owns and maintains 250 centerline miles of streets. Projects are developed and prioritized based on community needs, specific goals to be achieved and on general programming considerations. 1) CORRIDOR PROJECTS are oriented toward “moving people” through a balanced transportation system that involves multiple modes of transportation. Included are facilities that facilitate the movement of transit and carpools. 2) OPERATIONS AND SAFETY projects and programs are developed through ongoing analyses of the transportation system and are directed mainly toward traffic engineering concerns such as safety and congestion. Projects are identified not only by analysis of traffic counts, accident records and geometric data, but also through review and investigation of citizen complaints and requests. 3) NON-MOTORIZED PROJECTS are developed with major emphasis on addressing quality of life issues by improving and/or protecting residential livability while providing necessary transportation system improvements. 4) OTHER PROGRAMS involve planning of transportation improvements necessitated by new development and new transportation capital improvements. SCHOOLS Renton’s youth attend schools within the Renton, Kent, or Issaquah School District depending on the location of the pupil’s residence. The Renton School District spans 32.5 square miles and serves over 13,000 students in preschool through twelfth grade. Four high schools, three middle schools, 13 elementary schools, an early childhood education center and various other special programs constitute the accredited preschool-12 system. The Kent School District is the fourth largest school district in the state with over 27,000 students enrolled in four high schools, six middle schools, 28 elementary schools, and three academies. The district boundaries encompass approximately 71 square miles. The Issaquah School District is the 15th largest district in the state of Washington with more than 18,000 students attending a combination of 15 elementary schools, five middle schools, three comprehensive high schools, and an alternative high school spread.

Therefore, planning and management are necessary in order to prevent the harmful effects of uncoordinated and piece-meal development of our state's shorelines. Shorelines are of limited supply and are faced with rapidly increasing demands for uses such as marinas, fishing, swimming, recreation, and scenic views, as well as,, private housing, commercial and industrial uses. Lake Washington from Coulon Park, Credit: City of Renton The policy goals for the management of shorelines harbor potential for conflict. The Act recognizes that the shorelines and the waters they encompass are "among the most valuable and fragile" of the state's natural resources. They are valuable for economically productive industrial and commercial uses, recreation, navigation, residential amenity, scientific research and education. They are fragile because they depend upon balanced physical, biological, and chemical systems that may be adversely altered by natural forces and human conduct. Unbridled use of shorelines ultimately could destroy their utility and value. The prohibition of all use of shorelines also could eliminate their human utility and value. Thus, the policy goals of the Act relate both to utilization and protection of the extremely valuable and vulnerable shoreline resources of the state. The Act calls for the accommodation of "all reasonable and appropriate uses" consistent with "protecting against adverse effects to the public health, the land and its vegetation and wildlife, and the waters of the state and their aquatic life and consistent with "public rights of navigation”. The planning policies of master programs (distinct from the development regulations) may be achieved by a number of means, only one of which is the regulation of development. Other means, as authorized by Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 90.58.240, include, but are not limited to: the acquisition of lands and easements within shorelines of the state by purchase, lease, or gift, either alone or in concert with other local governments, and accepting grants, contributions, and appropriations from any public or private agency or individual. Additional means may include, but are not limited to, public facility and park planning, watershed planning, voluntary salmon recovery projects, and incentive programs. Through numerous references to and emphasis on the maintenance, protection, restoration, and preservation of "fragile" shoreline, "natural resources," "public health," "the land and its vegetation and wildlife," "the waters and their aquatic life," "ecology," and "environment," the Act makes protection of the shoreline environment an essential statewide policy goal consistent with the other policy goals of the Act. It is recognized that shoreline ecological functions may be impaired not only by shoreline development subject to the substantial development permit requirement of the There are over 18 miles of shoreline in the City of Renton’s planning area are under the jurisdiction of the Shoreline Management Act of 1971. AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) SHORELINE MANAGEMENT ELEMENT PAGE 79 CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Act but also by past actions, unregulated activities, and development that is exempt from the Act's permit requirements. The principle regarding protection of shoreline ecological systems is accomplished by these guidelines in several ways and in the context of related principles. SHORELINE MANAGEMENT GOALS The City adopts the findings of fact established by the King County Shoreline Master Program based on the findings of RCW 90.58.020. 1) The shoreline jurisdiction is one of the most valuable and fragile of the City’s natural resources. There is appropriate concern throughout the watershed and the greater Puget Sound Region relating to the utilization, protection, restoration, and preservation of the shoreline jurisdiction. 2) Ever increasing pressures of additional use are being placed on the shoreline jurisdiction, which in turn necessitates increased coordination in its management and development. 3) Much of the shoreline jurisdiction and the uplands adjacent thereto are in private ownership. Unrestricted construction on the privately owned or publicly owned shorelines is not in the best public interest; therefore, coordinated planning is necessary in order to protect the public interest associated with the shoreline jurisdiction while recognizing and protecting private property rights consistent with the public interest. 4) There is a clear and urgent demand for a planned, rational, and concerted effort, jointly performed by federal, state, and local governments, to prevent the inherent harm in an uncoordinated and piecemeal development of the City’s shoreline jurisdiction. 5) It is the intent of the City to provide for the management of the shoreline jurisdiction by planning for and fostering all reasonable and appropriate uses. The Shoreline Master Program is designed to ensure development in a manner that, while allowing for limited reduction of rights of the public in the navigable waters, will promote and enhance the public interest. 6) The City’s shoreline policies are intended to protect against adverse effects to the public health, the land and its vegetation and wildlife, and the waters of the state and their aquatic life, while protecting generally public rights of navigation and corollary rights incidental thereto. 7) In the implementation of the Shoreline Master Program, the public's opportunity to enjoy the physical and aesthetic qualities of natural shorelines shall be preserved to the greatest extent feasible consistent with the overall best interest of the state, the county, and the people generally. To this end, uses shall be preferred which are consistent with control of pollution and prevention of damage to the natural environment or are unique to or dependent upon use of the state's shoreline. 8) Alterations of the natural condition of the shoreline, in those limited instances when authorized, shall be given priority for single family residences and their appurtenant structures; ports; shoreline recreational uses including but not limited to parks, marinas, piers, and other improvements facilitating public access to shorelines; industrial and commercial developments that are particularly dependent on their location on or use of the shoreline jurisdiction; and other development that will provide an opportunity for substantial numbers of the people to enjoy the shorelines. 9) Permitted uses in the shorelines zone shall be designed and conducted in a manner to minimize, insofar as practical, any resultant damage to the ecology and environment of the shoreline jurisdiction and any interference with the public's use of the water. LOCAL RESPONSIBILITY Under the Act, local governments have the primary responsibility for initiating the planning program AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) SHORELINE MANAGEMENT ELEMENT CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGE 80 and administering the regulatory requirements of the Act, with the Washington State Department of Ecology acting in a supportive, review, or approval capacity depending on the particular shoreline proposal and regulatory requirements. As set forth in the provisions of the Act, local governments must fulfill the following basic requirements:  Use a process that identifies, inventories, and ensures meaningful understanding of current and potential ecological functions provided by affected shorelines.  Include policies and regulations designed to achieve no net loss of those ecological functions, including:  Regulations and mitigation standards ensuring that each permitted development will not cause a net loss of ecological functions of the shoreline.  Local government shall design and implement such regulations and mitigation standards in a manner consistent with all relevant constitutional and other legal limitations on the regulation of private property.  Include goals and policies that provide for restoration of impaired ecological functions that include identifying existing policies and programs that contribute to planned restoration goals, as well as any additional policies and programs that local government will implement to achieve its goals. This Master Program element considers established or funded non-regulatory policies and the direct or indirect effects of other regulatory or non- regulatory programs.  Evaluate and consider cumulative impacts of reasonably foreseeable future development on shoreline ecological functions and other shoreline functions fostered by the policy goals of the Act, address adverse cumulative impacts, and fairly allocate the burden of addressing cumulative impacts among development opportunities. DEVELOPMENT OF THE MASTER PROGRAM The Act (RCW 90.58) directs all local governments to develop a Master Program for the management of all shorelines of the state and associated shore lands that are under the local governments’ jurisdiction. Shoreline management is most effective and efficient when accomplished within the context of comprehensive planning. The Growth Management Act requires mutual and internal consistency between the comprehensive plan elements and implementing development regulations (RCW 36.70A). This Master Program has been prepared and updated to comply with the requirements of the Shoreline Management and Growth Management Acts and to formulate guidelines that will regulate the utilization and development of the shorelines within the City of Renton. As part of this Master Program, the City of Renton has established administrative provisions, including a permit system for any substantial development, as well as review provisions to ensure that all development complies with the policies and regulations of the program. The City of Renton has conducted a comprehensive inventory of the natural characteristics, present land uses, and patterns of ownership along the City's shoreline that provides a substantial information base for understanding ecological functions and other considerations for the development of this Master Program update. The City of Renton, with the involvement of its citizens, local agencies, and interested parties has developed this Shoreline Master Program to serve as both a planning guide and resource for specific regulations Lake Washington Shoreline, Credit: Parametrix AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) SHORELINE MANAGEMENT ELEMENT PAGE 81 CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN pertaining to development and use of the shorelines in Renton. Included is a description of the goals, objectives, policies, environments, use regulations, and provisions for variances and conditional uses. The basic intent of this Master Program is to provide for the management of shorelines of the state within Renton’s jurisdiction by planning for and fostering all reasonable and appropriate uses and to ensure, if development takes place, that it is done in a manner which will promote and enhance the interests of the general public. This Master Program has further been composed to protect the public interest and general welfare in shorelines and, at the same time, to recognize and protect the property rights of owners. The goals and policies of this Master Program are formulated so as to enhance the public use and enjoyment of the shorelines. It is recognized that the Shorelines of the State found in Renton are located within a major urbanized area, and that they are subject to ever increasing pressures of additional uses necessitating increased coordination in the management and development of the shorelines. The Shoreline Master Program is a planned, rational, and concerted effort to increase coordinated and optimum utilization of the Shorelines of the State in Renton. Cedar River, Credit: Parametrix REGULATED SHORELINES Overview: Over 18 miles of shoreline in the City of Renton’s planning area are under the jurisdiction of the Shoreline Management Act of 1971. By statutory standards, the Green River and Lake Washington are classified as Shorelines of Statewide Significance, and comprise approximately 5.8 miles of Shorelines of the State regulated by City of Renton. In addition, the shorelines of the Cedar River, Black River, Springbrook Creek, and May Creek are shorelines within the City. These 18 miles of shoreline in the City of Renton are an extremely valuable resource not only to the City of Renton, but also for the watersheds of which they are part and for the greater Puget Sound community of which Renton is an integral part. Shoreline Jurisdiction: In the City of Renton, the following bodies of water are regulated by the Act. Applicability: The Renton Shoreline Master Program applies to Shorelines of the State, which includes Shorelines of Statewide Significance and Shorelines as defined in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-11 and as listed below. 1) Shorelines of Statewide Significance: a) Lake Washington b) Green River (The area within the ordinary high water mark of the Green River is not within the Renton City Limits, but portions of the 200-foot shoreline jurisdiction are within city limits.) 2) Shorelines: a) Cedar River b) May Creek from the intersection of May Creek and NE 31st Street in the southeast quarter of the southeast quarter of Section 32-24-5E WM c) Black River d) Springbrook Creek from the Black River on the north to SW 43rd Street on the south e) Lake Desire (in the city’s potential annexation area) Extent of Shoreline Jurisdiction: The jurisdictional area includes: 1) Lands within 200 feet, as measured on a horizontal plane, from the ordinary high water AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) SHORELINE MANAGEMENT ELEMENT CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGE 82 mark, or lands within 200 feet from floodways, whichever is greater; 2) Contiguous floodplain areas; and 3) All marshes, bogs, swamps, and river deltas associated with streams, lakes, and tidal waters that are subject to the provisions of the State Shoreline Management Act. Shorelines of Statewide Significance: Each shoreline has its own unique qualities which make it valuable, particularly Shorelines of Statewide Significance. Preference is, therefore, given to the following uses (in descending order of priority), which: 1) Recognize and protect the statewide interest over local interest. 2) Preserve the natural character of the shorelines. 3) Result in long-term over short-term benefits. 4) Protect the resources and ecology of the shorelines. 5) Increase public access to publicly owned areas of the shorelines. 6) Increase recreational opportunities for the public in the shoreline. 7) Provide for any other element as defined in RCW 90.58.100 deemed appropriate or necessary. Development, redevelopment, and use of Lake Washington shall recognize and protect the statewide interest in terms of providing for benefits to the general public in terms of:  Preserving and enhancing the natural character and ecological functions of the shoreline to provide long-term public benefits to fish stocks, many of which depend on south Lake Washington for a key phase of their lifecycle.  Increasing public access to the shoreline and integrating public access on individual sites with an integrated non-motorized trail system to allow access to persons not living on or near the shoreline.  Ensuring that impacts of development are mitigated to ensure the long-term benefits of a productive environment over short-term economic benefits.  Providing a variety of recreational opportunities for the public in multiple use development on the shoreline.  Providing high standards for design and aesthetics in the shoreline site and building design to address the visual character and quality of the range of public use of the lake and shorelines. Design and review standards shall achieve high-quality landmark developments that are integrated with the natural environment, that provide appropriate transition to areas of less intense development, and integrate building height, bulk, setbacks, landscaping, and signage into a cohesive whole.  The redevelopment of former industrial areas on the Lake Washington shoreline will lead to the creation of a vibrant new lakefront community providing additional housing, shopping, and employment opportunities to the region. Multiple use projects will take advantage of the amenities of the lake while providing opportunities for water-oriented uses, public access, and/or ecological enhancement. GEOGRAPHIC ENVIRONMENTS Shorelines are classified into separate geographic areas known as “use environments” based upon the current development pattern, biophysical capabilities, and other factors. Policies, standards, and regulations can be customized by the use environment, shoreline, and other uses depending on need. Generally, regulated shorelines include the water bodies and their shorelands extending landward from the floodway or ordinary high water mark for 200 feet in all directions. This jurisdictional area increases to include all marshes, bogs, swamps, and river deltas associated with the regulated Shorelines of the State. The total of this area is subject to shoreline use classification and regulation. The overlay districts in the Renton Shoreline Master Program are classified as zoning overlay districts and include six districts: AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) SHORELINE MANAGEMENT ELEMENT PAGE 83 CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 1) Shoreline Natural Environment Overlay District Objective: The objective in designating a natural environment is to protect and preserve unique and fragile shoreline or wetland environments that are ecologically intact as close to their natural state as possible. The natural environment is intended to provide areas of wildlife sanctuary and habitat preservation. Areas to be Designated as a Natural Environment: A Natural Area designation is assigned to shoreline areas if any of the following characteristics apply:  The shoreline retains the majority of natural shoreline functions, as evidenced by the shoreline configuration and the presence of native vegetation. Generally, but not necessarily, ecologically intact shorelines are free of structural shoreline modifications, structures, and intensive human uses.  Shoreline areas that provide valuable functions for the larger aquatic and terrestrial environments, which could be lost or significantly reduced by human development.  The shoreline represents ecosystems that are of particular scientific and educational interest.  Shorelines with large areas of relatively undisturbed areas of wetlands.  Shorelines that support specific important wildlife habitat, such as heron rookeries.  The shoreline is unable to support new development, extractive uses, or physical modifications or uses without significant adverse impacts to ecological functions. 2) Shoreline Urban Conservancy Environment Overlay District Objective: The purpose of the Urban Conservancy environment is to protect, conserve, restore, and manage existing areas with ecological functions of open space, floodplain, and other sensitive lands where they exist in urban and developed settings, while allowing compatible uses. Areas to Be Designated as a Conservancy Environment:  Areas of high scenic value.  Areas of open space, floodplain, or other sensitive areas such as wetlands or geological hazards that should not be more intensively developed.  Areas that retain important ecological functions, including areas, which, even though they are partially developed, provide valuable wildlife habitat or essential aquatic habitat functions.  Areas with the potential for ecological restoration.  Areas that cannot provide adequate utilities for intense development.  Areas with unique or fragile features. 3) Shoreline Single Family Residential Overlay District Objective: The objective of the Single Family Residential Shoreline Overlay District is to accommodate residential development and appurtenant structures that are consistent with this chapter. Areas to Be Designated: The Single Family Residential Shoreline Overlay District is applied to and characterized by single-family use and zoning. 4) Shoreline High-Intensity Overlay District Objective: The objective of the High Intensity Overlay is to provide opportunities for large-scale office and commercial employment centers, as well as, multifamily residential use and public services. This district provides opportunities for water- dependent and water-oriented uses while protecting existing ecological functions and restoring ecological functions in areas that have been previously degraded. Development may also provide for public use and/or community use, especially access to and along the water's edge. Areas to Be Designated: The Shoreline High- Intensity Overlay District is designated in areas characterized by: commercial, industrial, or mixed- AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) SHORELINE MANAGEMENT ELEMENT CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGE 84 use zoning or use, but not meeting the criteria for conservancy or natural designation. Management Policies: Water-Oriented Activities: Because shorelines suitable for high-intensity urban uses are a limited resource, development opportunities are largely limited to redevelopment. Existing industrial and commercial uses on the shoreline are not water- dependent. It is unlikely that the Renton shoreline will provide opportunities for a commercial port, or other major water-oriented industrial uses. However, there may be opportunity for some types of water-dependent uses to be integrated into existing multiple-use developments or redevelopment projects, particularly on Lake Washington. Opportunities for water-dependent and water-oriented uses are likely to be oriented to recreation, public enjoyment, transportation, and moorage. Emphasis shall be given to development within already developed areas and particularly to water-oriented industrial and commercial uses. Non-water-oriented Activities: Non-water-oriented uses should be permitted as part of development that also includes water-oriented use. Non-water- oriented uses should be allowed in limited situations where they do not conflict with or limit opportunities for water-oriented uses, or on sites where there is not direct access to the shoreline. Non-water-oriented uses allowed in the shoreline should provide ecological restoration and/or public access along the full length of shoreline frontage. Public Access: Priority is also given to planning for public visual and physical access to water in the High Intensity Overlay District. Identifying needs and planning for the acquisition of urban land for permanent public access to the water is addressed in Public Access regulations in RMC 4-3-090.E.4.g Table of Public Access Requirements by Reach. Public access is one of the primary public benefits that may be necessary to locate development on the shoreline. Ecological Restoration: Providing for restoration of ecological functions is one of the public benefits necessary to locate non-water-oriented development on the shoreline. Ecological restoration opportunities are limited in Renton due to the developed nature of much of the shoreline. Generally, new development and redevelopment should remove and replace shoreline armoring that does not meet standards of theCode, restore native vegetation and wetlands, as well as, restore the aquatic substrate. Public access may be required to be set back from restored areas with controlled access to the water’s edge at locations that are less ecologically sensitive. Aesthetics: Aesthetic objectives shall be implemented by appropriate development siting, building bulk, design standards, screening, landscaping, and maintenance of natural vegetative buffers. 5) Shoreline Isolated High-Intensity - Isolated Lands Overlay District Objective and Areas to be Designated: The objective of the High Intensity Overlay – Isolated Lands overlay is to provide appropriate regulations for areas that are within shoreline jurisdiction but are separate parcels effectively isolated from the water by intervening elements of the built environment, largely consisting of railroads and roads or intervening private parcels. In most cases, these areas function as parallel designations with other designations applied to the area adjacent to the water. 6) Aquatic Environment Overlay District Objective: The objective of the Aquatic designation is to protect, restore, and manage the unique characteristics and resources of the areas waterward of the ordinary high water mark. Areas to be Designated: The Aquatic Overlay District is defined as the area waterward of the ordinary high water mark of all streams and rivers, all marine water bodies, and all lakes, constituting shorelines of the state together with their underlying lands and their water column; but do not include associated wetlands and other shorelands shoreward of the ordinary high water mark. AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) SHORELINE MANAGEMENT ELEMENT PAGE 85 CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Management Policies: Development within Aquatic Areas shall be consistent with the following:  Allowed uses are those within the adjacent upland shoreline overlay, limited to water- dependent use or public access.  New uses and over-water structures are allowed only for water-dependent uses, single- family residences, public access, or ecological restoration and only when no net loss of ecological functions will result.  The size of new over-water structures shall be limited to the minimum necessary to support the structure's intended use. In order to reduce the impacts of shoreline development and increase effective use of water resources, multiple-use of over-water facilities is encouraged and may be required.  All developments and uses on navigable waters or their beds shall be located and designed to minimize interference with surface navigation, to consider impacts to public views, and to allow for the safe, unobstructed passage of fish and wildlife, particularly those species dependent on migration.  Shoreline uses and modifications shall be designed and managed to prevent degradation of water quality, minimize alteration of natural conditions and processes, and result in no net loss of ecological functions  Uses and modification of Public Aquatic Land shall incorporate public access and ecological enhancement, except where inconsistent with the operation of water-dependent uses.  Fish and wildlife resource enhancement, including aquaculture related to fish propagation are allowed and encouraged.

Policy SH-1: Reasonable and appropriate shoreline uses and activities should be planned for: 1) Short-term economic gain or convenience in development should be evaluated in relationship to potential long-term effects on the shoreline. 2) Preference should be given to those uses or activities which enhance the natural functions of shorelines, including reserving appropriate areas for protecting and restoring ecological functions to control pollution and prevent damage to the natural environment and public health. 3) Provide for the following priority in shoreline use and modification of the shoreline: AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) SHORELINE MANAGEMENT ELEMENT CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGE 86 a) Water-dependent and associated water- related uses are the highest priority for shorelines unless protection of the existing natural resource values of such areas precludes such uses. b) Water-related and water-enjoyment uses that are compatible with ecological protection and restoration objectives, provided that adequate area is reserved for future water-dependent and water-related uses. c) Multiple use developments may be allowed if they include and support water-oriented uses and contribute to the objectives of the act including ecological protection and restoration and/or public access. d) Limit non-water-oriented uses to those locations where access to the water is not provided or where the non-water-oriented uses contribute to the objectives of the Act, including ecological protection and restoration and/or public access. e) Preserve navigational qualities, and the infrastructure that supports navigation, to support water-oriented use. 4) Recognize existing single-family residential uses and neighborhood character and ensure that existing uses, new uses, and alteration of facilities: a) Do not result in a net loss of shoreline ecological functions. b) Avoid disturbance of unique and fragile areas. c) Are provided with adequate public services including water, sanitary sewer, and stormwater management. 5) Future shoreline subdivision, multi-family developments, and planned urban developments of more than four units should provide public benefits, including ecological protection and restoration, and/or public or community access. 6) New residential developments should provide open space areas at or near the shoreline through clustering of dwellings. Policy SH-2: Aesthetic considerations should be integrated with new development, redevelopment of existing facilities, or for general enhancement of shoreline areas and should include: 1) Identification and preservation of areas with scenic vistas and areas where the shoreline has high aesthetic value as seen from both upland areas, areas across the water, and recreational and other uses on the water. 2) Appropriate regulations and criteria should ensure that development provides designs that contribute to the aesthetic enjoyment of the shoreline for a substantial number of people and provide the public with the ability to reach, touch, enjoy the water’s edge, and view the water and shoreline. 3) Regulations and criteria for building siting, maximum height, setbacks, screening, architectural controls, sign regulations, designation of view corridors, and other provisions should ensure that development minimizes adverse impacts on views of the water from public property or views enjoyed by a substantial number of residences. Policy SH-3: All shoreline policies, regulations, and development shall recognize and protect private rights consistent with the public interest and, to the extent feasible, shall be designed and constructed to protect the rights and privacy of adjacent property owners. Shoreline uses and activities should be discouraged if they would cause significant noise or odor or unsafe conditions that would impede the achievement of shoreline use preferences on the site or on adjacent or abutting sites. CONSERVATION POLICIES Objective SH-D: The resources and amenities of all shorelines and the ecological processes and functions they provide, such as wetlands, upland and aquatic vegetation, fish and wildlife species and habitats, as well as, scenic vistas and aesthetics should be protected and preserved for use and enjoyment by present and future generations. Natural shorelines are dynamic with AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) SHORELINE MANAGEMENT ELEMENT PAGE 87 CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN interdependent geologic and biological relationships. Alteration of this dynamic system has substantial adverse impacts on geologic and hydraulic mechanisms important to the function of the water body and can disrupt elements of the food chain. Policy SH-4: When necessary, Shoreline modifications should emulate and allow natural shoreline functions to the extent feasible and where needed utilize bioengineering or other methods with the least impact on ecological functions. Policy SH-5: Native shoreline vegetation should be conserved to maintain shoreline ecological functions and mitigate the direct, indirect, and/or cumulative impacts of shoreline development, wherever feasible. Important functions of shoreline vegetation include, but are not limited to:  Providing shade necessary to maintain water temperatures required by salmonids, forage fish, and other aquatic biota.  Regulating microclimate in riparian and nearshore areas.  Providing organic inputs necessary for aquatic life, including providing food in the form of various insects and other benthic macro invertebrates.  Stabilizing banks, minimizing erosion and sedimentation, and reducing the occurrence/severity of landslides.  Reducing fine sediment input into the aquatic environment by minimizing erosion, aiding infiltration, and retaining runoff.  Improving water quality through filtration and vegetative uptake of nutrients and pollutants.  Providing a source of large woody debris to moderate flows, create hydraulic roughness, form pools, and increase aquatic diversity for salmonids and other species.  Providing habitat for wildlife, including connectivity for travel and migration corridors. Policy SH-6: Existing natural resources should be conserved through regulatory and non-regulatory means that may include regulation of development within the shoreline jurisdiction, ecologically sound design, and restoration programs, including: 1) Water quality and water flow should be maintained at a level to permit recreational use, to provide a suitable habitat for desirable forms of aquatic life, and to satisfy other required human needs. 2) Aquatic habitats and spawning grounds should be protected, improved and, when feasible, increased to the fullest extent possible to ensure the likelihood of salmon recovery for listed salmon stocks and to increase the populations of non-listed salmon stocks. 3) Wildlife habitats should be protected, improved and, if feasible, increased. 4) Unique natural areas should be designated and maintained as open space for passive forms of recreation and provide opportunities for education and interpretation. Access and use should be restricted, if necessary, for the conservation of these areas. Policy SH-7: Existing and future activities on all Shorelines of the State regulated by the City of Renton should be designed to ensure no net loss of ecological functions. Policy SH-8: The City of Renton should work with other responsible government agencies to assure that surface water management in all drainage basins is considered an integral part of shoreline planning. 1) Soil erosion and sedimentation that adversely affect any shoreline within the City of Renton should be prevented or controlled. 2) The contamination of existing water courses should be prevented or controlled. Policy SH-9: Shoreline stabilization should be developed in a coordinated manner among affected property owners and public agencies for a whole drift sector (net shore-drift cell) or reach where feasible, particularly those that cross jurisdictional boundaries, to address ecological and geo-hydraulic processes, sediment conveyance and beach management issues. Where erosion threatens AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) SHORELINE MANAGEMENT ELEMENT CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGE 88 existing development, a comprehensive program for shoreline management should be established.

Policy SH-12: The City shall implement the Restoration Plan provided as an adjunct to The Shoreline Master Program in coordination with other watershed management agencies and groups, and shall manage public lands and may acquire key properties and provide for off-site mitigation on City or other public or private sites. Policy SH-13: Preservation of natural shoreline areas can best be ensured through public or non- profit ownership and management. Therefore, where private development is proposed in areas so designated, the City should require dedication as necessary. Policy SH-14: Shoreline use and development should be carried out in a manner that prevents or mitigates adverse impacts so that the resulting ecological condition does not become worse than the current condition. This means ensuring no net loss of ecological functions and processes in all development and use. Permitted uses should be designed and conducted to minimize, in so far as practical, any resultant damage to the ecology and environment (RCW 90.58.020). Shoreline ecological functions that should be protected include, but are not limited to, fish and wildlife habitat, food chain support, and water temperature maintenance. Shoreline processes that shall be protected include, but are not limited to: water flow; littoral drift; erosion and accretion; infiltration; ground water recharge and discharge; sediment delivery, transport, and storage; large woody debris recruitment; organic matter input; nutrient and pathogen removal; and stream channel formation/maintenance.

Demand (Water Utility): The quantity of water obtained from the water supply source over a period of time to meet the needs of domestic, commercial, industrial and public use, and also firefighting water, system losses, and miscellaneous other water uses. Demands are normally discussed in terms of flow rate, such as million gallons per day (mgd) or gallons per minute (gpm). The flow rates can be described in terms of a volume of water delivered during a certain time period. Flow rates pertinent to the analysis and design of water systems are: a. Average Daily Demand (ADD). The total amount of water delivered to the system in a year divided by the number of days in the year. This is further divided into average residential (ADDR), commercial (ADDC), industrial (ADDI), and unaccounted for (ADDN) demands. b. Maximum Month Demand. The total amount of water delivered to the system during the month of maximum water use. c. Peak Hour Demand. The amount of water delivered to the system in the hour of maximum use usually occurring during the maximum day. Density: The number of dwelling units per acre.

Dormitories, institutional housing, and other group quarters are not counted as dwelling units. Employment Center: An area of the City where various industries provide higher than average concentrations of employment. Equalizing storage (Water Utility): The act of balancing the difference between the capacity of the sources of supply and the maximum demand rate (generally considered the highest use hour of the hottest day of the year). In water systems that service a large number of residences, the demand for water varies hourly and supply facilities are sized to meet the average rate of the maximum day demand. The maximum hour demand rate is typically about twice the average maximum day rate. If equalizing storage is not available to provide water during peak hours, the supply facilities and major pipelines would have to be sized for the maximum hour demands. However, during non-peak hours, much of the supply capacity would not be used. Instead, equalizing storage facilities are used to make up the difference between maximum hour and maximum day demand. The stored water is released when demand exceeds the supply, and replenished when the supply exceeds demand. Equalizing storage facilities enable supply facilities and pipelines to be smaller and, therefore, lower costs for supply and pipeline facilities are obtained. Feeder system (Cable Television Service): The line that carries the signal from a trunk line amplifier to the subscriber's service drop. Fiber optic cable: A multi-layered cable composed of fine strands of glass fibers capable of transmitting large quantities of coded data by means of modulated light rather than electronic signals. It is preferred as a medium for television signals as it can carry more signals with less dissipation. Fireflow: The rate of flow of water required during firefighting. Fire storage: Reservoir capacity required to meet fire flows. Force main: A sanitary sewer main that utilizes artificial means (pressure) to transport waste. A force main usually moves sewage from a lower elevation to or across a higher elevation. A lift station typically pumps sewage from one basin through a force main to another basin. Functional plans: City departments prepare planning documents that establish long-range goals and objectives to guide their operations and capital development requests. These plans, referred to as functional plans, typically represent the ideal goals for the department in providing urban services and facilities. Gate station (Natural Gas Service): The point at which gas from Northwest Pipeline enters the Puget Sound Energy system, where odorant is added for safety, pressure is reduced between 200 to 300 psi, and the gas is metered.

Impact fees may also involve some effort to predict the total cost of the community for servicing the new development and relate it to the revenues that will be produced by the development once it is completed. Impervious surface: A hard surface area that either prevents or retards the entry of water into the soil mantle under natural conditions prior to development, and/or a hard surface that causes water to run off the surface in greater quantities or at an increased rate of flow from the flow present under natural conditions prior to development. Common examples include, but are not limited to, roof tops, walkways, patios, decks, driveways, parking lots or storage areas, concrete or asphalt paving, gravel roads, packed or oiled earthen materials, macadam, or other surfaces that similarly impede the natural infiltration of storm water. Industrial: A type of land use characterized by production, manufacturing, distribution or fabrication activities. Infill development: Development consisting of either construction on one or more lots in an area that is mostly developed, or new construction between two existing structures. Infill housing: Construction of new dwelling units on vacant or underutilized parcels in built-up areas. Because utilities, transit, and other infrastructure are already in place, the costs and impacts of new units are generally lower than for development on raw land. Infiltration (Wastewater Utility): The entrance of ground water into the sanitary sewer system through cracks, pores, breaks, and defective joints in the sewer piping network. Inflow: Direct flow of storm water into sanitary sewer systems through hookups from storm water collection facilities and illegal connections. Infrastructure: Facilities and services needed to sustain industry, residential, commercial, and all other land use activities, including water, sewer lines, and other utilities, streets and roads, communications, and public facilities such as fire stations, parks, schools, etc. Institution: A structure (or structures) and related grounds used by organizations providing educational, medical, social, and recreational services to the community such as hospitals, vocational or fine arts schools, AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) GLOSSARY PAGE vi CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN child care centers, whether operated for nonprofit or profit-making purposes; and nonprofit organizations such as colleges and universities, elementary and secondary schools, community centers and clubs, private clubs, religious facilities, museums, and institutes for advanced study.

Land use zoning: Traditionally, a technical or physical approach to the segregation of incompatible land uses, such as residential and industrial use, through systems of land use and development controls. More recently, the techniques have emphasized reinforcing position relationships between compatible land uses such as residential and neighborhood commercial. The contemporary approach also emphasizes the close relationship between transportation and land use to more effectively respond to accessibility, reduction of infrastructure costs, urban design, air, noise, and water pollution, energy conservation, and conservation of resource lands. Landfill: A disposal facility, or part of a facility, where solid waste is permanently placed in or on land and which is not a land spreading disposal facility. Large scale multi-family: A residential building, or group of buildings that contain more than four dwelling units in each building.

Looping main (Natural Gas Service): A main that connects to a supply line at both ends, thereby providing an alternate route for natural gas to travel to an area needing additional supply. Manufactured housing: A broad term including mobile homes, modular homes, and other "factory built" housing. The main distinction between manufactured homes and site-built homes is that manufactured homes are created in one or more parts away from the site, and then transported to it. “Red Seal” manufactured homes are built to HUD standards, with the chassis included as a permanent part of the home, although the axles must be removed when the home is installed. These homes, however, are built so that they may be placed on a permanent foundation. "Gold Seal" modular homes are constructed in a factory in several pieces that may be smaller or less complete than the pieces of a “Red Seal” manufactured home. Gold Seal homes are built to the specifications of the Uniform Building Code, and are placed on a permanent foundation, similar to a "stick- built" home. Unlike Red Seal homes, the chassis for transportation is not a permanent part of the home. Mobile AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) GLOSSARY CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGE vii homes, as opposed to manufactured or modular homes, are typically located in established mobile home parks and were built before HUD standards for manufactured housing went into effect June 15, 1976.

Minimum density: A development standard that sets the least amount of density permitted in a residential zone and results in a more efficient use of urban land than might otherwise be attained through market forces. Mitigation (Surface Water Utility): Avoiding, minimizing or compensating for adverse wetland impacts. Mitigation, in the following order of preference, is: a. Avoiding the impact altogether by not taking a certain action or parts of an action; b. Minimizing impacts by limiting the degree or magnitude of the action and its implementation, by using appropriate technology, or by taking deliberate steps to avoid or reduce impacts; c. Rectifying the impact by repairing, rehabilitating, or restoring the affected environment; d. Reducing or eliminating the impact over time by preservation and maintenance operations during the life of the action; e. Compensating for the impact by restoring or providing substitute resources or environments; f. Monitoring the impact and the compensation project and taking appropriate corrective measures.

Applica tion of public access objectives should be considered along with other objectives of the Shoreline Management Act, such as ecological restoration and priority uses. SHORELINE REACH LOCATION PUBLIC ACCESS OBJECTIVES LAKE WASHINGTON Lake Washington Reach A From Bellevue city limits to Renton city limits This developed primarily single-family area currently provides no public access. The potential for provision of public access from new development is low because further subdivision and non-single family use is not likely but should be pursued if such development occurs. Public agency act ions to improve public access should include visual access from public trail development along the railroad right of way inland of the residential lots; however, views may be limited by topography and vegetation. Access to the water should be pursued at an existing undeveloped railroad right of way, including parcels used for utilities and potential acquisition of parcels, with emphasis on parcels that are not currently developed because they do not currently have roadway access. Lake Washington Reach B From the city limits to the Seahawks training facility This is primarily a single-family area with one multi-family development immediately south of the Seahawks Training Center. There is currently no public access. There is a public trail along I -405, but it does not have views of the water. The potential for provision of public access from new development is low because further subdivision and non-single family use is not likely, but should be pursued if such development occurs. Public agency actions to improve public access should include visual access from trail development along the railroad right of way inland of the residential lots (however, views may be limited by topography and vegetation) and potential acquisition of opportunities for public access to the water. Lake Washington Reach C From the Seattle Seahawks headquarters and training facility through the former Barbee Mill site. This reach includes the recently constructed Seattle Seahawks headquarters and training facility to the north and the Barbee Mill site to the south. The Quendall Terminals parcel between the Seahawks and Barbee Mill sites is a Superfund site contaminated with coal tar and creosote. There is public access along a portion of the shoreline at the Seahawks site and adjacent to May Creek at the Barbee Mill site. Public harbor lands are along about a third of the subdivision water frontage. The potential for provision of public access from new development will occur after cleanup of the Superfund site with multi -use development that should offer shoreline access across the entire property, consistent with vegetation conservation. Provision of public access from future redevelopment of the Seahawks and Barbee Mill site is possible under the existing zoning, which allows higher intensity use and provides an opportunity for continuous public access parallel to the shoreline. Public access should be provided to shared or commercial docks. Public agency actions to improve public access should include visual access from a future trail along the railroad (views may be limited to the A G E N D A I T E M # 8 . h ) APPENDIX B: PUBLIC ACCESS OBJECTIVES BY REACH PAGE xx CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SHORELINE REACH LOCATION PUBLIC ACCESS OBJECTIVES northerly and southerly portion of the reach because of distance to the water and potential blockage by intervening buildings); enhancement of the May Creek trail to public streets; access on public aquatic lands; and potential acquisition of public access to the water. Lake Washington Reach D From May Creek to Mountain View Avenue This reach is a single-family area with no public access except Kennydale Beach Park. The potential for provision of public access from new development is low because further subdivision and non-single family use is not likely but should be pursued if such development occurs. Public agency actions to improve public access should include visual access from public trail development along the railroad right of way; pedestrian and bicycle access on Lake Washington Boulevard; public viewing areas and possible public acquisition of access to the water including an existing undeveloped railroad right of way adjacent to the water; and potential public right of way and potential public acquisition of selected parcels, including undeveloped parcels with development constraints. Lake Washington Reach E From Mountain View Avenue to Gene Coulon Park This reach is a single-family area with no existing public access. The potential for provision of public access from new development is low because further subdivision and non -single family use is not likely but should be pursued if such development occurs. Public agency actions to improve public a ccess should include visual access from public trail development along the railroad right of way; pedestrian and bicycle access on Lake Washington Boulevard; public viewing areas and possible public acquisition of access to the water including an existing undeveloped railroad right of way adjacent to the water; possible public street ends; and potential public acquisition of selected parcels. Lake Washington Reach F The less developed northerly portion of Gene Coulon Park Public access is currently provided by a trail system through the park and a variety of primarily passive recreational facilities, a fishing pier, and a moorage dock. Public access is one element of park functions that should be continued and incorporated in future plans and balanced wit h goals for providing recreation and improving ecologic functions. Other public agency actions to improve public access should include visual access from public trail development along the railroad right of way, and pedestrian and bicycle access on Lake Washington Boulevard including addition of public viewing areas. Lake Washington Reach G The more developed southerly portion of Gene Coulon Park Public access is currently provided by a trail system through the park together with a variety of passive and active recreational facilities, a boat launch, over-water facilities, and concession facilities. Public access is one element of park functions that should be continued and incorporated in future plans, as well as balanced with goals for providing recreation and improving ecologic functions. Lake Washington Reach H Southport multiple use development Public access is currently provided along the waterfront and should continue in the future as part of multi - use development of the remainder of the propert y. The design should include supporting water-oriented uses and amenities such as seating and landscaping. Lake Washington Reach I Boeing Plant and to the Cedar River This reach is about one-third state-owned aquatic lands designated as Harbor Area and managed by the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and two -thirds is the Boeing Company’s site. Landward of the inner harbor line, ownership is entirely the Renton Boeing Plant. Public access in this area A G E N D A I T E M # 8 . h ) APPENDIX B: PUBLIC ACCESS OBJECTIVES BY REACH CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGE xxi SHORELINE REACH LOCATION PUBLIC ACCESS OBJECTIVES includes the Cedar River Boathouse located on pilings in Lake Washington and accessed from the west from the Cedar River Trail. The boathouse includes a public fishing area and provides canoe and kayak rentals, classes, and guided trips. Public access is currently not feasible on the thre e acres of state owned aquatic lands managed by DNR. In the future, if the Boeing site is redeveloped public access should be provided, balanced with goals for ecological restoration. Public agency actions to improve public access should include a waterfront trail, which would connect the public access at the Southport development to the Cedar River Trail. This action should be implemented when environmental and security issues can be resolved, as well as public access to public lands, balanced with the goals of preserving ecological functions. Lake Washington Reach J Renton Municipal Airport Public access to the Lake Waterfront is provided from the lawn area of the Will Rogers, Wiley Post Memorial Sea Plane Base and should be maintained if the goal of public access is not in conflict with the aeronautical use of the property. Public agency actions to improve public access should include enhancing opportunities for the public to approach the water’s edge from the existing lawn area. Public access may necessarily be limited by safety and security limitation inherent in the primary use of the property for aeronautical purposes. Lake Washington Reach K From the Renton Municipal Airport to the Seattle city limits This reach is predominantly single-family area with no existing public access. Public visual access is provided from Rainier Avenue. The potential for provision of public access from new development is likely limited to future redevelopment of a small mobile home park in the easterly portion of this reach and from redevelopment of existing multi-family uses. Public agency actions to improve public access should include enhanced public views from Rainier Avenue as well as enhanced pedestrian facilities or view points. This effort may include acquisition of several undeveloped parcels to provide access to the water’s edge, consistent with goals for preservation and enhancement of ecological functions. MAY CREEK May Creek A From the mouth of the creek to Lake Washington Boulevard This reach is bounded by open space dedicated as part of a subdivision and includes public access provided by a trail along the creek. Public agency actions to improve public access should include enhanced public views from Lake Washington Boulevard including enhanced pedestrian facilities or view points, improved connections of the May Creek trail to public streets, and to the potential trail to the east across or under the railroad right of way and Lake Washington Boulevard. May Creek B From Lake Washington Boulevard to I-405 There is currently no public access in this reach. At the time of re -development, public access should be provided from a trail parallel to the water along the entire property with controlled public access to the water, balanced with goals of preservation and enhancement of ecological functions. Public agency actions to improve public access should include provisions to cross I -405 to connect with trail systems to the east. May Creek C From I-405 to NE 36th Street This reach includes discontinuous public ownership with some private ownership. At the time of development of private lands, public access should be provided from a trail parallel to the water together A G E N D A I T E M # 8 . h ) APPENDIX B: PUBLIC ACCESS OBJECTIVES BY REACH PAGE xxii CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SHORELINE REACH LOCATION PUBLIC ACCESS OBJECTIVES with public agency actions to develop a trail on public land. All trail development sh ould be set back from the water’s edge with controlled public access to the water, balanced with goals of preservation and enhancement of ecological functions. May Creek D From NE 36th Street to the city limits This reach is largely King County May Creek Park. Public access is informal and discontinuous. There are some private holdings along the creek. At the time of development of private lands, public access should be provided from a trail parallel to the water coordinated with public agency actions to develop a trail on public land. All trail development should be set back from the water’s edge with controlled public access to the water, balanced with goals of preservation and enhancement of ecological functions. CEDAR RIVER Cedar River A Mouth to Logan Avenue A public trail is provided on the east side of the river in the Cedar River Park. No public access is provided on the west side of the river adjacent to the municipal airport. Public physical access from a trail parallel to the water should be provided if the Renton Municipal Airport redevelops in the future, balanced with goals of ecological restoration. Cedar River B Logan Avenue to I-405 bridges A public trail is provided on the north side of the river and a variety of public access is provided on the south side, including small city parks. Public access should generally be provided within the corridor of public lands adjacent to the river; however, adjacent private parcels not separated by public streets should provide active open space and other facilities to provide gathering places to enjoy the shoreline environment, together with water-oriented uses. Revisions to the existing trail to relocate further from the water’s edge to allow revegetation should be considered in the future as part of public park and river maintenance plans. Cedar River C I-405 to the SR 169 A public trail is provided on the former Milwaukee railroad. Public access is provided at a public park on the north side immediately east of I-405. Public and/or community access along the waterfront should be provided as private lands on the north side of the river redevelop , considered along with the goal of restoration of ecological functions. The single-family residential area on the north side of the river provides no public access. The potential for provision of public access from new development is low because further subdivision and non-single family use is not likely but should be pursued if such development occurs. Public agency actions to improve public access should include additional interpretive trails and trail linkages through public lands on the south side of the river, if consistent with ecological functions and public acquisition of access to the water in existing single-family areas, where appropriate. Cedar River D SR 169 to UGA boundary A public trail is provided on the former Milwaukee railroad. It is generally at a distance from the water’s edge. Most of this reach is under public ownership or dedicated open space. The primary goal for management of this reach should be ecological enhancement. Additional public access to the water’s edge may be provided if consistent with ecological functions. The small residential area at the east end of the UGA provides no public access. The potential for provision of public access from new development is low A G E N D A I T E M # 8 . h ) APPENDIX B: PUBLIC ACCESS OBJECTIVES BY REACH CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGE xxiii SHORELINE REACH LOCATION PUBLIC ACCESS OBJECTIVES because further subdivision and non-single family use is not likely but should be pursued if such development occurs. Public agency actions to improve public access should include improved visual acc ess from the existing trail and possible public acquisition of access to the water. GREEN RIVER Green River Reach A The Green/Black River below the pump station The area west of Monster Road provides no public access. Public physical access from a trail parallel to the water should be provided as private lands redevelop. Public agency actions to improve public access should include acquisition of trail rights to connect the Lake to Sound trail system to the Green River Trail and Fort Dent Park. The area west of Monster Road is part of the publicly owned Black River Forest where interpretive trails exist. Expansion of public access should occur only if consistent with ecological functions. BLACK RIVER / SPRINGBROOK CREEK Black/Springbrook A From the City Limits to Grady Way The area west of Monster Road provides no public access. Public physical access from a trail parallel to the water should be provided as private lands redevelop. Public agency actions to improve public access should include acquisition of trail rights to connect the trail system to the Green River Trail and Fort Dent Park. The area west of Monster Road is part of the publicly owned Black River Forest where interpretive trails exist. Expansion of public access should occur only if consistent with ecological functions. Interpretive trails are present in the Black River Forest. Expansion of public access should occur only if consistent with ecological functions. A trail system is present on the west side of the stream adjacent to the sewage treatment plant and should be retained and possibly enhanced. Springbrook B From Grady Way to SW 16th Street A trail system is present on WSDOT right of way and crosses under I-405. Enhancement should be implemented as part of future highway improvements or other public agency actions. Springbrook C From SW 16th Street to the City Limits A public trail parallel to the stream was developed as part of the Boeing Longacres Office Park and extends from SW 16th Street under Oaksdale. Avenue and terminates at the alignment of 19th Street at the parking lot of a pre-existing industrial building. If future development occurs in this area, a continuous trail system connecting to the continuous system to the south should be planned, consistent with prote ction of ecological values of wetlands and streamside vegetation. There is no trail system along the stream from SW 19th Street to the approximate alignment of SE 23rd Street. A continuous trail system is provided from 23rd Street to the city limits including portions through the Springbrook Wetland Mitigation Bank. If future development occurs in the area of the missing trail link, a trail system connecting to the continuous system to the south should be planned, consistent with protection of ecological values of wetlands and streamside vegetation buffers. Public actions should include interim linkages of the existing trail systems, which may include interim trails or routing on public streets and sidewalks. In the future, if vegetation buffers are deve loped within the stream corridor and A G E N D A I T E M # 8 . h ) APPENDIX B: PUBLIC ACCESS OBJECTIVES BY REACH PAGE xxiv CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SHORELINE REACH LOCATION PUBLIC ACCESS OBJECTIVES adjacent lands, relocation of the trail farther from the stream should be considered with controlled access to the water’s edge. LAKE DESIRE: A trail system is present in public open space in parks around the lake but there is no trail system adjacent to the lake. Lake Desire Entire Lake Public access is provided by a WDFW boat launch. There is currently no formal public access to the water at the natural area at the south end of the lake, nor the County -designated natural area at the north end of the lake. Interpretive access should be implemented in a manner consistent with ecological values. Existing single-family residential development provides no public access. The potential for provision of public access from new development is low because further subdivision and non -single family use is not likely but should be pursued if such development occurs. Public agency actions to improve public access should include public acquisition of access to the water where appropriate. Access for interpretive purposes may be an element of public acquisition of wetlands. A G E N D A I T E M # 8 . h ) TECHNICAL APPENDIX C: LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS AND UTILITY PLANS CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGE xxv TECHNICAL APPENDIX C: LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS AND UTILITY PLANS INTRODUCTION The Growth Management Act (GMA) requires that cities and counties develop land use plans that accommodate 20 years of growth. The land use pattern and growth is to be supported by utilities and capital facilities. The purpose of this technical appendix is to establish and compare the growth assumptions in the City’s Comprehensive Plan and Countywide Planning Policies with the assumptions in the City’s “Water System Plan Update: A Comprehensive Water System Plan, 2012” and the “Long- Range Wastewater Management Plan, A Comprehensive Sewer System Plan, Final 2010.” Results show the system plans can support the land use plan and growth assumptions for the horizon year of 2031 matching the growth allocations in the Countywide Planning Policies. GROWTH TARGETS AND CAPACITY The City of Renton and its Potential Annexation Area have been allocated housing and employment growth targets in the King County Countywide Planning Policies. The City’s Comprehensive Plan needs to reflect the growth targets and provide land use capacity sufficient to meet the targets for lands in the city limits; King County must do likewise for the Potential Annexation Area. Currently, the growth targets extend to the year 2031.1 At the time of the 2007 Buildable Lands Report, the City had sufficient capacity to meet its growth targets. See Table 1. Table 1. Growth Targets 2006-2013 and Buildable Land Capacity 2007 Source: King County Buildable Lands Report 2007, Pers Com, Felt, June 27, 2013, “Buildable Lands: instructions for measuring updated capacity.” BERK 2013 Based on the 2007 Buildable Lands results the City has sufficient capacity for planned growth under both housing and employment. After the publication of the 2007 Buildable Lands Report, the City has studied future growth capacity in the Sunset Area Planned Action, and found additional capacity was likely, up to 850 more housing units than the prior assumed growth under the Comprehensive Plan and up to 2,278 more jobs than the prior assumed growth under the Comprehensive Plan (Preferred Alternative assumptions; Final EIS, April 2011). This would further bolster the City’s land capacity. 1 While the growth targets extend to the year 2031, the new 20-year planning horizon for local governments with a Comprehensive Plan Update deadline of June 30, 2015, such as Renton, is actually 2035. However, King County has no plans to formally update growth targets to the year 2035. Given the GMA requirement to plan for 20 years (RCW 36.70A.115), King County and an inter-jurisdictional team of planning directors recommends that local governments start with the 2031 growth target and use either a straight-line projection or otherwise “bend the trend” towards Vision 2040 in order to derive a 20 year growth number. The City is considering the extension of the growth target to the year 2035, but has not yet made a determination of the numbers. Location Net New Units Net New Jobs City Growth Target 2006-2031 14,835 29,000 City Capacity 2007 (inc Benson Hill)16,250 29,550 Excess Capacity - City 2007 1,415 550 PAA Target 3,895 470 AGENDA ITEM # 8. h) TECHNICAL APPENDIX C: LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS AND UTILITY PLANS PAGE xxvi CITY OF RENTON – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The City’s Transportation Model growth assumptions represent the allocation of growth to sub geographies across the City (transportation analysis zones across the city limits). The City’s traffic model shows the City’s anticipated growth of 15,787 housing units and 31,440 jobs between 2006 and 2030; both estimates are greater than the assigned growth targets. For the purposes of this analysis, the traffic model analysis zone growth estimates are compared to the water service area and sewer service area (city limits portion). WATER SYSTEM PLAN Household growth is projected in the Renton Water System Plan for the years 2010 to 2071 for the water system service area which is smaller than the city limits. The plan considered growth based on Puget Sound Regional Council growth projections (similar to those in the Countywide Planning Policies and the City traffic model) and a “growth cap” that considered infill capacity plus redevelopment in the Renton Urban Center and Renton Sunset Area Planned Action Area. Based on the analysis the net growth from 2010-2031 is less than City growth targets, but the growth from 2010-2071 is consistent with those targets. The analysis shows the Water System Plan can accommodate the growth targets, but the growth cap approach allows the City to see what the improvements would be if growth occurred in a more phased manner. See Table 2. Table 2. Water System Growth Projections Compared to Targets City of Renton, 2012; BERK, 2013 WASTEWATER SYSTEM PLAN Population and job growth is projected in the Renton Wastewater System Plan for the years 2001 and 2030. The wastewater service area extends further east than the city limits but not fully to the southeast, where other districts are the service providers. Nevertheless, comparisons of growth assumptions show more than sufficient planned growth in the Wastewater System Plan beyond the city’s growth targets. See Table 3.
