SUBJECT: Equity Commission Appointments
The Equity Commission currently has five vacancies. The Executive Services Department
issued a press release requesting applications in January and also publicized the vacancies
in the This Week in Renton newsletter and the city council administrative report. We
received an overwhelming response to the call for applications and had over 30
applications to review.
Interviews for the vacancies were held in March, with six candidates interviewing for five
seats. Former Equity Commission Chair, Nicole Hill, assisted the commission staff, the
Deputy Chief Administrative Officer and Executive Services Administrative Assistant, with
the interviews. After completing the interviews, I recommend the appointment of the
following individuals to the Equity Commission.

member of the Haida tribe, Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast of North

Camila Lagow is originally from Mexico, and has been a resident of Renton since 2014. She
currently works as an Educator Consultant and Communications Lead for the Food Safety
Program at Public Health —Seattle & King County where she works to ensure equitable

Reasonforapplying
I see things around town that could be
more accessible, user friendly or less of an
obstacle to people in wheelchairs and/or
people with other disabilities. It doesn't
look like there's currently anyone on the
commission in a wheelchair. I feel that, as
a longtime wheelchair user, I could
provide a valuable perspective for the
commission & clearly communicate this
to the commission & the community.

Reasonforapplying
I am reapplying to the Equity Commission
because I am committed to creating
solutions that are equitable and pragmatic,
even when they challenge what is easiest
to administer. My work as the Dean of
Transitional Studies at Renton Technical
College centers on designing programs
that serve diverse student populations in
meaningful, individualized ways. This
often means balancing the inherent
efficiency of batch processes with the
need for equity, ensuring that systems
truly meet the needs of those they aim to
serve. I approach this work with humility,
as someone who has previously
prioritized ideological purity over
practicality and learned from the
unintended consequences.I am energized
by the challenge of solving complex
puzzles that align with my values.
Whether being boots on the ground or
taking on a heavy lift, I have no shortage
of energy to support equity efforts. As
someone who does benefit from sever
dominant identities, I am an avid reader
and forever student of content and theory
aligned to this work and see myself as a
facilitator for those with more lived
experience, education and/or authority on
the matter. I would be honored to bring
this perspective and dedication to the
Commission, contributing to actionable,
lasting change.

EXT.: 6520
FISCAL IMPACT SUMMARY:
Reappointment of an Equity Commissioner has no fiscal impact.
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Manami Imaoka's term on the Equity Commission expired December 31, 2024. She is an original member of
the Commission first appointed in March 2022. Ms. Imaoka is an active Commissioner in good standing who
frequently contributes to the discussion.
Due to an influx of vacancies on the Commission, reappointments and Commission meetings were paused
while applications to fill five vacancies were solicited. The intent was the new appointments and
reappointment would occur simultaneously.
Mayor Pavone is recommending the reappointment of Manami Imaoka to the Equity Commission. She is
originally from Japan and has been a Renton resident for 10 years. While residing in Renton, she joined the
Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program to become involved in her community. She has
worked with Sustainable Renton organizing drive-thru food distribution events and participates in other
opportunities that focus on food insecurities. Ms. Imaoka also assisted with delegation visits of our Sister City,
Nishiwaki, where she has helped to welcome the delegates and provide translation services. Most recently
she was one of the graduates of the first Renton Civic Academy cohort. Ms. Imaoka will be serving her second
term on the Equity Commission, which will expire December 31, 2027.

Manami Imaoka was first appointed to the Equity Commission in March of 2022.
Ms. Imaoka has been a Renton resident for 10 years. She is originally from Japan. After
moving to Renton from Oregon, she joined the Community Emergency Response Team
(CERT) Program to get involved in her community. She has a desire to be involved and
be part of the solution. She has worked with Sustainable Renton organizing drive
through food distribution events and participates in other opportunities that focus on
food insecurities. She has assisted with delegation visits of Renton’s Sister City,
Nishiwaki, to welcome delegates and provide translation services. She has served as an
interpreter for over 20 years and works at a Seattle high school. She is a graduate of the
first Renton Civic Academy cohort. Commissioner Imaoka has demonstrated knowledge
and understanding of the city’s mission statement and Business Plan goals and has
shown ongoing dedication to serving on our Equity Commission.

Re:Letter of Recommendation -AOPA Alternate Position for Renton Airport Advisory Committee
(RAAC)
Dear Mayor Pavone:
I am writing to recommend Pete Kane for the vacant alternate Aircraft Owners &Pilots
Association (AOPA)position on the RAAC.
Mr.Kane has not only been an AOPA member for several years,but he is an aircraft owner,a
Renton airport hangar tenant,and the AOPA Airport Support Network (ASN)volunteer for
Renton Municipal airport.I know him well and can assure you that he will not only be a voice
for AOPA interests at the airport but is also passionate about pursuing what is in the best interest
of the Renton airport community as a whole.I wholeheartedly recommend him for the currently
vacant AOPA position on the RAAC.
For background,AOPA is the world’s largest aviation membership organization representing the
general aviation interests of hundreds of thousands of aircraft owners and pilots across the
country,including over 9,000 members in Washington state.I am the Alaska and Northwest
Mountain Regional Manager for AOPA responsible for over 900 airports and 35,000 members
and handpicked Pete for the ASN volunteer role at Renton municipal airport as the most
qualified out of a list of several candidates and as a result,consider myself well qualified to
comment on his fitness for this position.
Thank you for considering this recommendation letter and I hope that going forward,you
consider contacting me on any matter that concerns general aviation.I can be reached at email:
brad.schuster(aopa.org or by phone:202-851-7502.

City Council Regular Meeting - 07 Apr 2025
SUBJECT/TITLE: Reorganization of the Finance Department
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Refer to Finance Committee
DEPARTMENT: Finance Department
STAFF CONTACT: Kristin Trivelas, Fiscal Services Director
EXT.: 6929
FISCAL IMPACT SUMMARY:
The estimated net cost in 2025 is $140K including full benefits to regrade the financial operations manager,
convert one senior finance analyst to a financial operations supervisor, and add one senior tax & licensing
auditor position. The reorganization of reporting structure for the utility accounts supervisor and senior grants
analyst would be budget neutral.
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
After analyzing each workgroup within the department, the decision was made to consolidate and group work functions
together to aide in better team functionality and efficiency. Combining like tasks allows for timely feedback and
direction by the workgroup manager, offers enhanced collaboration amongst team members, and provides a broader
depth of coverage of each finance function.
The utility billing workgroup handles billing, collection, and cashier functions, which are closely aligned with accounts
receivable functions that exist within the financial operations workgroup. Bringing this workgroup underneath the
financial operations umbrella will provide cross-coverage for like tasks and also allow the same manager to support
similar operations and identify and streamline like functions. Converting the senior finance analyst to a financial
operations supervisor will further provide depth in knowledge and support amongst the team while also allowing this
converted position to supervise designated accounts payable and accounts receivable staff and provide relief to the
financial operations manager.
The business and occupation tax program has grown in the past several years and currently makes up 15% of
the total general fund revenues. This program is supported by one auditor position who has been a proven
asset to the city; by auditing non-compliant businesses, the existing tax auditor recovered revenue of
approximately $228K in the second half of 2024 and $300K in the first three months of 2025. This proposal
requests an additional FTE for a second senior tax & licensing auditor as the volume of taxpayers that require
audit and oversight is large enough to warrant an additional staff member.
The grants program has historically been a component of the budget and financial reporting team as it has
many inputs into the final deliverables that are produced by this team. Returning this function to this
workgroup will aide in deeper collaboration while also providing cross-coverage to various areas on that team.
Based on the above, the following changes are proposed:
Financial Operations Manager (M28 step D) to (M36 step D)
AGENDA ITEM #6. g)
Regrade the position to reflect the newly added responsibility and oversight of utility billing and further
management of two supervising staff. This position has historically been underpaid as it existed in its current
responsibility; after restructuring the role of this position, it was identified that this position would be 19%
under market when compared to similar positions at comparable cities. Regrading to the recommended step
brings this position in line with equitable pay for what is expected.
Convert Senior Finance Analyst (M25 step C) to Financial Operations Supervisor (M27 step C)
This position was added to this workgroup in 2024 to help provide depth between front line staff and the
operations manager and has proven to be a successful addition. The conversion to financial operations
supervisor allows for continued performance of complex technical work while also supervising part of the
operations team to allow the manager to oversee the utility billing function. This position will also be
responsible for supporting complex payroll functions, when needed, and be the backup for the operations
manager when called upon.
Additional Senior Tax & Licensing Auditor (M21 step C)
The size of the city’s tax program supports the need for an additional tax auditor position. As with any tax
program, ongoing audits are required to ensure compliance with city tax codes. The city is jeopardizing
ongoing revenue loss without the support of adequate tax auditors in place to ensure the revenue stream
remains protected.

SUBJECT:Finance Department Reorganization
ISSUE
Should council approve a reorganization of the finance department to add one
position, regrade two positions, and change the reporting structure?
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of a finance department reorganization to include adding
an additional tax auditor, regrade of two positions, and change in report structure,
effective May 5, 2025.
OVERVIEW
The business and occupation tax program has grown in the past several years and
currently makes up 15% of the total general fund revenues. This program is supported
by one auditor position who has been a proven asset to the city. By auditing non-
compliant businesses, the existing tax auditor position recovered revenue of
approximately $228K in the second half of 2024 and $300K in the first three months of
2025. The proposed reorganization requests an additional FTE for a second senior tax
& licensing auditor. The volume of taxpayers that require audit and oversight is large
enough to warrant an additional staff member; bringing on a second tax auditor will
recover additional tax funds owed to the city while also absorbing the cost of the
position itself.
Along with this change, this request includes a small restructuring. The finance
department has been operating in its current organizational structure for the past five
years with five distinct work groups that report directly to the fiscal services director:
finance operations, budget & financial reporting, utility billing, tax & licensing, and
grants.

The finance department is responsible for a large body of work that varies in volume,
complexity, and compliance. After analyzing each workgroup, the decision was made
to better consolidate and group work functions together to aide in better team
functionality and efficiency. Combining these like tasks allows for timely feedback and
direction by the supporting manager of that workgroup, offers enhanced collaboration
amongst team members, and provides a broader depth of coverage to individual
contributors of each finance function.
The utility billing workgroup handles billing, collection, and cashier functions, which are
closely aligned with accounts receivable functions that exist within the financial
operations workgroup. Bringing this workgroup underneath the financial operations
umbrella will not only provide cross-coverage for like tasks but will also allow the same
manager to support similar operations and help to identify and streamline like
functions. Converting the senior finance analyst to a financial operations supervisor will
further provide depth in knowledge and support amongst the team while allowing this
converted position to supervise designated accounts payable and accounts receivable
staff and provide relief to the financial operations manager to provide strategic
planning and support to the individual lines of work under his purview.
The grants program has historically been a component of the budget and financial
reporting team, as it has many inputs into the final deliverables that are produced by
this team, specifically the annual financial statement and biennium budget. Returning
this function to this workgroup will aide in deeper collaboration while also providing
cross-coverage to various areas on that team. Further, the budget & accounting
manager will have a better grasp of the ongoings of the grants program while it is
positioned under his purview, which will add efficiency and value to the team overall.
Based on the above need, the following changes are proposed:
1. Financial Operations Manager (M28 step D) to (M36 step D)
This reorganization would regrade the position to reflect the newly added
responsibility and oversight of utility billing and further management of two
supervising staff. This position has historically been underpaid as it existed in its
current responsibility; after restructuring the role of this position, it was identified
that this position would be 19% under market when compared to similar positions
at comparable cities. Regrading to the recommended step brings this position in
line with equitable pay for what is expected.
2. Convert Senior Finance Analyst (M25 step C) to Financial Operations Supervisor
(M27 step C)
The senior finance analyst position was added to this workgroup last year to help
provide depth between front line staff and the operations manager; it has proven
to be a successful addition to the team. This conversion would not take away
from that function, rather, the financial operations supervisor position could now
continue performing complex technical work while also supervising part of the
operations team to allow the manager to oversee the utility billing function of the
city as well. The financial operations supervisor will also be responsible for
helping to support complex payroll functions, when needed, and be the backup

for the operations manager when called upon, specifically in areas of excise and
leasehold tax preparation, lease reviews, union negotiations teams, and
healthcare fund analysis.
3. Additional Senior Tax & Licensing Auditor (M21 step C)
The size of the city’s tax program supports the need for an additional tax auditor
position to be added. As with any tax program, there is the likelihood of
businesses acting non-compliant, either by choice or by accident, which requires
ongoing audit of tax returns to ensure compliance with city tax codes. The city is
jeopardizing ongoing revenue loss without the support of adequate tax auditors in
place to ensure the revenue stream remains protected.
FISCAL IMPACT
The estimated net cost for the change in 2025 is $140K including full benefits to
regrade the financial operations manager, convert one senior finance analyst to a
financial operations supervisor, and add one FTE to the finance department for the
senior tax & licensing auditor position. The reorganization of reporting structure for the
utility accounts supervisor and senior grants analyst would be budget neutral.
CONCLUSION
Approving the finance department reorganization will align the positions within the
department more closely with the scope of authority and responsibility inherent in each
position. The changes will also allow the department to accurately and effectively
manage accounting operations and financial reporting. If approved, the additional
budget request will be added to the carryforward budget adjustment.

SUBJECT:Utility Bill Leak Adjustment Request
Utility Account: 005992-000
Owner: Dean Weidner – Heritage Hills Apartments
ISSUE
Should City Council grant the request for a reduction of increased city sewer and King
County metro charges resulting from a water leak at the service address 1300 S Puget
Drive.
BACKGROUND
In accordance with Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 8-5-23, wastewater billing
adjustments for water leaks that occur on the customer's side of the water meter that
are not in the main service line to the building, the city will grant an adjustment of up to
a maximum of two regular meter reading cycles during the billing period when the
water leak occurred. Sewer will be adjusted by 100% of all leaked water that did not
enter the sanitary sewer system. Per RMC 8-4-46, water did not qualify for an
adjustment due to the frozen pipe that burst.
The finance department received a formal leak adjustment request from Heritage Hills
Apartments, a multi-family property, for a leak that occurred at the service address of
1300 S Puget Drive. The water leak was located at the main service line from the
meter to the foundation of the building. The leak was repaired on 01/20/25. The
property owner has met the requirements outlined in the code, including submitting
proof of repair, to adequately qualify for the leak adjustment for sewer charges.

Bargaining Agreement
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Council Concur
DEPARTMENT: Human Resources / Risk Management Department
STAFF CONTACT: David Topaz, Administrator
EXT.: 7657
FISCAL IMPACT SUMMARY:
A budget adjustment will be prepared to account for the additional budget needed based on the agreed
contract terms. The total cost of the contract for 2025 is approximately $2.1M. A wage adjustment of 3.5%
and associated benefits is already included in the 2025 budget, therefore, an additional budget adjustment of
approximately $600K is needed for 2025. Budget for 2026 will be revised as necessary based on the CPI-U
(June) data, and submitted as part of the 3rd quarter budget adjustment.
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The City and the Local 2170, representing the Washington State Council of County and City Employees,
AFSCME AFL-CIO, began bargaining for a successor Collective Bargaining Agreement to the 2022-2024
Agreement on June 17, 2024, and reached a tentative agreement on February 28, 2025. That agreement was
ratified by AFSCME members. Ratification by the City Council is now required to authorize the Mayor to
execute the agreement.
Salary and benefits issues were addressed as follows:
1. The parties agreed to a three (3) year agreement from 2025-2027.
2. Effective January 1, 2025, the base wages for all positions in the bargaining unit shall be increased by 3.8%
above the wages in effect December 31, 2024. In addition to this increase, the City will provide an additional
1-grade salary increase to incumbents in positions that did not have an external market study after July 1,
2022.
3. Effective January 1, 2026, wages shall be increased by 100% of the 2025 Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue June CPI-
U with a minimum of 1.5% and a maximum of 4.5%.
4. Effective January 1, 2027, wages shall be increased by 100% of the 2026 Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue June CPI-
U with a minimum of 1.5% and a maximum of 4.5%.
5. Commitment for the City to provide an external market study of every AFSCME represented position no less
than every 3 years. The parties agree to re-open the contract to negotiate any wage adjustments proposed
during the life of the contract for those deemed over and under market.
6. Repayment obligations for City staff that receive CDL training provided by the City and separate
employment within 2 years.

PREAMBLE
This Agreement is between the City of Renton (hereinafter called
the Employer) and Local 2170, Washington State Council of County
and City Employees, American Federation of State, County and
Municipal Employees, AFL-CIO (hereinafter called the Union) for
the purpose of setting forth a mutual understanding of the parties
as to conditions of employment for those employees for whom the
Employer recognizes the Union as the exclusive collective
bargaining representative.
The Employer and the Union shall cooperate to provide the public
with efficient, cost-effective, and courteous delivery of public
services, to encourage good attendance of employees, and to
promote a climate of labor relations that will aid in achieving a high
level of efficiency and productivity in all departments of City
government. The parties will work together to address and adapt
to the inevitable issues of change, to devise varying methods and
work procedures adapted to the changing circumstances of their
particular areas of responsibilities.
ARTICLE 1 – RECOGNITION AND BARGAINING UNIT
1.1. Union Recognized
Pursuant to RCW 41.56.060 the Employer hereby recognizes the
Washington State Council of County and City Employees/ AFSCME
Council 2 and its affiliated local (hereafter Union) as the exclusive
bargaining representative for all limited term, probationary and
regular Renton City employees in those classifications listed in
Appendix A.
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
AFSCME, Local 2170 Contract
2025 – 2027
Page 10
Limited term employees have all rights under this contract with the
exception of bumping (see City Policy #330-11, dated 10/15/2005).
If a limited term position is converted to a regular position, the
incumbent shall remain in the position and shall be converted as
well (and will be eligible for bumping rights). A limited term
employee shall have their time in the limited term position count
toward their overall classification and City seniority.
A regular employee who applies for and is appointed to a limited
term position shall have the right to return to their previous
classification should the limited term position not be converted to
regular status and there is a vacant position available in their
previous classification.
All employees of the Employer in classifications covered by this
Agreement are eligible to be members of the Union.
1.2. Temporary/Supplemental Employees
The City shall not combine or overlap temporary/supplemental
employees in such a way as to create the equivalent of a regular
position or avoid the time constraints set herein. In the case of
layoffs, Temporary/ Supplemental employees may not be hired to
perform bargaining unit work in work units where layoffs have
occurred while there is an active recall list.
The City will issue an end of year report listing all supplemental
employees utilized by the City for the year. This report will be issued
no later than January 31st and will include the length of employment
and total hours worked for each supplemental employee.
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
AFSCME, Local 2170 Contract
2025 – 2027
Page 11
1.2.1 Non Seasonal Temporary Employees-When filling a
known vacancy of an AFSCME represented position,
temporary employees shall be employees hired
directly by the City or through an agency contracted
with the City. Such employees shall be employed no
more than the equivalent of six (6) months (182
consecutive days) in a rolling 12-month period. An
extension of up to an additional 6 months is available
with union concurrence. Overtime shall be offered to
regular employees prior to temporary employees
being utilized, unless no qualified regular employees
are available. The City will notify the Union prior to
the use or hiring of temporary employee under this
clause. It is understood that the use of
temporary/supplemental employees as provided for
in this section shall not be deemed as supplanting
bargaining unit work.
1.2.2 Temporary Supplemental Employees- It is understood
that the use of supplemental employees as provided
for in this section shall not be deemed as supplanting
bargaining unit work. Employees in supplemental
positions listed below are limited to working 1500
hours in a calendar year and their employment is
between March 1 and November 30.
• Custodial Assistant
• Parks Laborer
• Transportation Laborer

AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
AFSCME, Local 2170 Contract
2025 – 2027
Page 12
1.2.3 Interns- Use of interns performing bargaining unit
work citywide is limited to one-year terms of
employment, and each intern shall not work longer
than 1,040 hours during that year. The employment
year for interns will be measured from the date of hire
forward. Hiring of interns is done within City
guidelines. The City will notify the Union of internship
descriptions involving bargaining unit work. Interns
must be enrolled in school and assisting, not
supplanting, bargaining unit work.
1.3. Excluded Positions
The Union recognizes the following positions as being excluded
from the represented classifications listed in Appendix A:
1.3.1. All positions in the Human Resources & Risk
Management Department.
1.3.2. All clerical or secretarial positions designated as
“confidential” in each department. Only one
“confidential” designation will be allowed in each
department.
1.4. New Positions
Should it become necessary to establish a new job classification
within the bargaining unit during the term of this Agreement, the
City will create the classification. The salary for any new
classification within the bargaining unit shall be subject to
negotiations. The Union shall be notified of any newly created
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
AFSCME, Local 2170 Contract
2025 – 2027
Page 13
classifications in the City, which are not recognized by other
bargaining units, including the City’s initial determination regarding
bargaining unit status.
Disagreements regarding the appropriateness of their inclusion or
exclusion from the bargaining unit will be referred to the Public
Employment Relations Commission for resolution.
1.5. Executive Board Meetings
The Union will provide a calendar of all regularly scheduled
Executive Board meetings for the next calendar year in December
of the preceding year to the Human Resources & Risk Management
Administrator.
1.6. Job Classification Changes
Changes to existing position classifications and position
descriptions shall be provided to the Union president and secretary
ten (10) working days prior to the next regularly scheduled
Executive Board meeting. The Union shall respond to the changes,
in writing, within ten (10) working days of the meeting, unless an
extension is mutually agreed upon. If the Union’s written response
is not provided within the timeframe above, management may
move forward with the changes that have been submitted.
1.7. Point Factor Method (PFM)
In an effort to objectively compare positions for internal equity, the
City has utilized a Point Factor Method (PFM) to help in
determining a position’s pay grade. Internal equity compares
positions according to requirements for similar skill,
education/training, and responsibility, and if the jobs are
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
AFSCME, Local 2170 Contract
2025 – 2027
Page 14
performed under similar working conditions. The PFM uses factors
that are commonly found in positions, and each factor is broken
into point values based on the varying levels of difficulty or effort
needed to complete them. The position’s point value is then
compared to other positions to select an appropriate grade.
Effective January 1, 2022, HRRM staff will utilize the Point Factor
Method in conjunction with external market data when
determining a grade placement due to a Reclassification, as part of
a market study, or when creating a new position. If no external
market data exists, the PFM will be used to determine the grade
placement based on the internal equity analysis solely.
Any PFM analysis will be shared with the affected employees and
the union.
1.8. Reclassification Reviews
The reclassification process will be put on pause for the duration of
2025. If the Reclassification process is revised, the policy will be
shared with the Union and the parties are able to negotiate any
impacts. If the parties are not able to reach agreement by
12/31/2025, the parties will revert to the reclassification process
and timeline as follows:
An employee may request a position review for proper
classification placement when the employee believes that there
has been significant change in duties and responsibilities of the
position. Reclassification reviews will be done in accordance with
City Policy #320-05 (Request for Reclassification), as established
July 7, 2009, to the extent that such does not conflict with the
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
AFSCME, Local 2170 Contract
2025 – 2027
Page 15
agreement. A Position Description Questionnaire (PDQ) form must
be fully completed and requires review by the employee’s
supervisor, the Division Director and the Department
Administrator. A market study will be conducted by HRRM staff as
part of the reclassification process for those positions that meet
the definition for requiring a reclassification.
The deadline for submittal of the PDQ to the employee’s supervisor
is May 1. The Department shall forward the request to the Human
Resources Department within 30 days of the initial request. If the
Department does not forward the request within 30 days, the
employee may submit the request directly to the Human Resources
Department to ensure the submission deadline is met. The Human
Resources Department will notify the employee within seven (7)
working days of the receipt of the request. Requests submitted to
Human Resources by the July 1 deadline and subsequently
approved shall be included in the following year’s budget.
Those approved by the City Council shall have an effective date of
January 1 of that budget year. Any delays in the reclassification
process shall not affect the implementation date and all pay shall
be retroactive to January 1 of that budget year.
Any appeals will be reviewed by the Human Resources and Risk
Management Administrator for a final decision. Human Resources
will meet with the Union regarding salary placement of any revised
position(s).
Once a request to reclassify a position has been submitted and
reviewed, no further consideration will be given to reclassifying the
position for a twenty-four (24) month period following submission.

employee, who has so authorized it in writing, the regular monthly
dues uniformly required of members of the Union. The amounts

deduction by written notice to the Union in accordance with the

all bargaining unit members that includes employee name, home
address, job title, hire date into current bargaining unit, monthly

alternative work schedules, with prior supervisory
approval and with the Payroll/HRRM designees
determining the implementation date of the new

If written notice is not received as outlined herein the
employee shall receive pay at one and one-half (1½)
times their normal hourly rate for the first shift
worked on the new schedule. The City will not
manipulate work schedules for the sole purpose of
avoiding the payment of overtime.
Work schedule changes initiated by the employee may

an undue hardship in the department or disservice to
the public.
3.3.4. Consecutive Hours Worked – Employees shall not
work more than sixteen (16) consecutive hours during
any consecutive twenty-four (24) hour period.
3.3.5. Any employee who has worked 16 or more hours in a

is imperative for continuity of a successful resolution.
The employee shall be allowed to use any hours in
their leave bank (vacation, comp-time, personal
holiday, or sick) for ½ of total hours and the City shall
provide paid time off for ½ the total hours of the
subsequent working period that overlap with the eight
(8) hours of required rest.
3.4. Meal and Rest Periods
3.4.1 Meal Period – There shall be an unpaid meal period
of not less than one-half (1/2) hour nor more than
one (1) hour during the regular workday. If an

increment beyond the two (2) hours, the employee
shall receive an additional meal period of one-half
(1/2) hour. If the Employer furnishes meals, the
employee shall eat them on their own time.
Whenever possible the meal period shall be
scheduled near the middle of the workday. An
employee may voluntarily waive their unpaid meal
period with written approval from their supervisor.
The documentation showing that it was a voluntary
waiver at the employee’s request will be retained by
HRRM in compliance with Department of Labor’s
Wage and Hour regulations. This voluntary waiver is
to be used occasionally and is not intended to be a
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
AFSCME, Local 2170 Contract
2025 – 2027
Page 22
regular on-going change to the employee’s work
schedule/shift.
3.4.2. Rest Period – Except in emergency situations, there

Employees whose work requires personal clean-up prior to leaving
the Employer’s premises or job site shall be allowed necessary time
for doing so prior to meal breaks, not to exceed five (5) minutes,

schedules shall be arranged so employees may take advantage of
this provision where it is applicable.

winter weather event (snow or ice) receive pay at one and one-half
times (1.5) their normal hourly rate for the entire first shift worked
on the new schedule if not provided 48 hours notice of the

or 4/10’s schedule.
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
AFSCME, Local 2170 Contract
2025 – 2027
Page 23
Due to the unpredictable nature and duration of snow events,
employees moved from snow shift back to their regularly
scheduled shift will receive no overtime compensation if 2 days’
notice is not provided as stated in section 3.3.3.
In the event of winter weather requiring winter operations, the City
shall make hotel accommodations available to employees working
a winter operations schedule, under the direction of the Public
Works Administrator or their designee. When an employee is
placed on a winter weather schedule, the City shall offer the
employee the option of utilizing hotel accommodations.

night shall be treated as imputed income on the employee’s
paycheck.
ARTICLE 4 – OVERTIME & PAY ASSIGNMENTS

4.1.1. Allocation of Overtime – The Employer shall determine
when and by whom overtime will be worked.
Whenever feasible, the Employer will request
volunteers from among the employees with the
requisite skills to perform the work, before requiring
employees to work overtime. Overtime opportunities
will be allocated as equally as possible among
employees within a work unit.
4.1.2. Overtime Rate – Except as otherwise provided in this
Article, all hours worked in excess of the employee’s
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
AFSCME, Local 2170 Contract
2025 – 2027
Page 24
scheduled workday, when worked upon the direction
or approval of the employee’s supervisor, shall be paid
at the rate of one and one-half (1½) times the
employee’s straight-time hourly rate or compensated
by granting one and one-half (1½) times the number of
excess hours worked as compensatory time. Overtime
shall be based on compensated hours and in
accordance with FLSA regulations. The employee shall
make their choice (overtime pay or compensatory
time) known to their supervisor not later than the end
of the work week in which the work was performed.
4.1.3. Compensatory Time – Compensatory time off, when
granted, shall be at a time convenient to the employee
and consistent with the operating needs of the
Employer. Compensatory time off shall be taken under
this Article as required by the Fair Labor Standards Act,
if such continues to be applicable to local government
employees. Compensatory time banks shall not exceed
one hundred (100) hours.
Employees may cash out compensatory time during
any pay period throughout the calendar year. Any
compensatory time over forty (40) hours as of
December 31 will be automatically cashed out at the
employee’s regular rate of pay and paid on the
January 10 paycheck. Employees with forty (40) hours
or less shall be allowed to carry over the time into the
following year.

Page 25
4.1.4. Computing Overtime – The nearest one-quarter (1/4)
hour shall be used in computing overtime.
4.1.5. Meeting Attendance Outside of Normal Work Schedule
– With supervisory approval, each employee that is
required to attend a meeting on their normally
scheduled workday before or after their regularly
scheduled shift shall be allowed to modify their
schedule during the work week of the meeting so that
the work week does not exceed their regularly
scheduled hours. This Section does not prohibit
employees that modify their time, as above, from
receiving overtime as otherwise provided in this Article
for hours worked outside of their normally scheduled
workday that fall on non-modified days.
4.1.6. Consecutive Day Overtime– Employees required to
work on a regularly scheduled day off shall be paid at
the rate of time and one-half (1 ½) for the first twelve
(12) hours and the rate of two times (2x) their regular
rate of pay, consistent with Section 4.3 below, for any
hours worked in excess of twelve (12) hours.
Employees required to work on a second consecutive
day shall be paid at two (2) times their regular rate of
pay for all hours worked. If during the workweek, a half
day (or more) of holiday, vacation, sick leave and
comp-time are taken, this does not count as paid work
when determining the consecutive days for purposes
of double time.

16, Section 16.3.
5.6 WA State Paid Family Medical Leave
5.6.1 Eligible employees are covered by Washington’s Family
and Medical Leave Program, RCW 50A.04. Eligibility for
leave and benefits, which began January 1, 2020, is
established by Washington law and is therefore
independent of this Agreement. Premiums for benefits
are established by law, will total four-tenths of one
percent (0.4%) of employees’ wages (unless otherwise
limited by action of the State). Employees will pay
through payroll deduction the full cost of the
premiums associated with family leave benefits and
forty-five percent (45%) of the cost of the premiums
associated with the medical leave benefits, as
determined under RCW 50A.04.115
5.6.2 Use of sick leave: For better consistency across leave
plans, sick leave may be used for family members,
including spouse, child, grandchild, parent, or
grandparent, as these relationships are defined in the
State PFML. Leave may be taken for siblings only for
State Accrued Sick Leave, and PFML.
5.6.3 Coordination with PFML: Employees who are
approved by the State for a benefit under PFML will be
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
AFSCME, Local 2170 Contract
2025 – 2027
Page 36
permitted to use their accrued leave balance as a
“Supplemental Benefit” to bring them to full base pay,
in accordance with provisions outlined by the State.
Employees will have the option to 1) use accrued leave
exclusively and forgo the PFML, or 2) use PFML
exclusively and forgo use of accrued leave, or 3) use
their accrued leave as a Supplemental Benefit in
combination with their PFML to bring them to full base
pay. Employees may change their election effective
the first day of any pay period, by notifying HR and
completing a new election form.
For those employees, electing option 3 above, the
procedures for a Supplemental Benefit will be similar
to the City’s existing procedures for Workers’ Comp
Time Loss, with the accompanying leave buy back.
Employees will submit leave time to the City for a
Supplemental Benefit for the full number of hours not
worked. They will submit the full amount of the PFML
benefit they receive to the City in a timely manner.
The amount of the PFML benefit will be used to “buy
back” a portion of the accrued leave that was taken as
a Supplemental Benefit. In order to use accrued leave
as a “Supplemental Benefit” the employee must, in
advance, sign an agreement to submit the PFML
benefit amount to the City as soon as practical, and in
no case later than 30 days of receipt. Any employee
electing this option and failing to return the PFML
benefit amount(s) received will be in violation of City
policy and the Union Contract and may be subject to
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
AFSCME, Local 2170 Contract
2025 – 2027

discipline. When necessary, the Union will support the

exhausted, the employee will move to option 2 above.

laws, City Ordinances and Resolutions. If there is a conflict between
any provision of this Agreement and State law, the latter shall
prevail. Provided, however, the Employer agrees that no Ordinance
or Resolution shall modify or change any article or section of this
Agreement during the life of said Agreement.

ARTICLE 28 – VOLUNTEERS
The City and Union agree that volunteer programs can be mutually
beneficial to the City, employees, and citizens of Renton. The
parties recognize that volunteer programs provide a sense of
community involvement and require a commitment of time and
service on behalf of the volunteer. To that end, the City is
committed to working in partnership with the Union to build
successful volunteer programs.
The use of volunteers will not supplant bargaining unit positions.
No bargaining unit member shall be laid off as a result of volunteer
programs.
The City and the Union will meet in a labor-management forum and
come to mutual agreement prior to implementing any new
volunteer programs.
ARTICLE 29 – DISCIPLINE
29.1 Discipline

cause. Employees shall be given the opportunity to have a Union
Representative present at meetings where disciplinary proceedings
will take place.
The City agrees with the principles of progressive discipline.
Disciplinary action generally includes the following progressive
steps:

although not placed in the employee’s personnel file)
29.1.2. Written reprimand
29.1.3. Suspension
29.1.4. Discharge
Disciplinary action will be tailored to the nature and severity of the

involuntary reassignment of an employee from a position in one
job classification to a lower paying position in another job
classification. In any case involving demotion, the employee shall
have the right to due process.
ARTICLE 30 – LEAVE DONATION
A Leave Donation Program has been established to assist
employees faced with a serious medical illness or injury to
themselves or an immediate family member. The Leave Donation
Program will be administered in accordance with City Policy
#350-12 (Leave Donation), as revised effective August 23, 2017.
The following exception applies as a benefit above and beyond
those granted by the Policy. State-Registered domestic partners

80 hours per recipient per calendar year. The donator’s bank
cannot drop below 80 hours.
ARTICLE 31 – LAYOFF AND RECALL
31.1. Layoff and Recall
The Employer shall retain the Right to determine whether lay-offs
are necessary and in which department(s) and classification(s) they
will occur. City employees in other departments are not eligible to
exercise bumping rights to displace any Court employees regardless
of seniority or job classification.
31.2. Definitions
31.2.1. Adjusted Hire Date: The date used to determine “City
Seniority.” The Adjusted Hire Date is calculated on the
employee’s length of continuous service with the City
in a regular full-time or part-time position. Part-time
employees will have their length of continuous service
adjusted for longevity purposes. Seniority earned as a
regular, part-time employee shall be prorated. The City
will calculate the number of compensated hours in any
regular position and divide the total by full time
equivalent hours (e.g. 2080 hours per year) to
determine the employee’s adjusted hire date for
purpose of seniority.
31.2.2. Bumping Rights: An employee’s ability to move into
the same classification or another classification, in
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
AFSCME, Local 2170 Contract
2025 – 2027
Page 75
which he/she has previously achieved regular status,
based on his/her overall seniority.
31.2.3. Classification: A classification is a position or group of
positions performing similar duties that have the same
title, class code, and salary range.
31.2.4. Classification Series: A series of related classifications
with an entry level and one or more additional levels
as defined in City Policy #320-01, Classification Series.
31.2.5. Initial Probationary Period: The probationary period
served by a new employee when hired into a regular
position with the City.
31.2.6. Layoff: A reduction in the workforce due lack of
funds, lack of work, or the result of a reorganization.
31.2.7. Recall List (also called “Reemployment List,” “Rehire
List,” or “Layoff List”): A list of employees who have
been laid off from a specific classification and who are
eligible for recall.
31.2.8. Original Hire Date: The first day an employee started
working for the City, either in a regular status or non-
regular status position.
31.2.9 Previously Held Position: A position within the City’s
classification system to which the employee has been
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
AFSCME, Local 2170 Contract
2025 – 2027
Page 76
formally appointed and successfully completed
probation.
31.2.10. Probationary Employee: An employee in their initial
probationary period who has not achieved regular
employee status.
31.2.11. Recall (also called “Reinstatement”): When an
employee on the recall list returns to the
classification from which he/she was laid off or to a
lower classification in which they previously achieved
regular employee status.
31.2.12. Seniority:
31.2.12.1 City Seniority, or “Adjusted Hire Date,” is an
employee’s length of continuous service
with the City in a regular full-time or part-
time position.
31.2.12.2 Classification Seniority is the date that the
employee was appointed to his/her current
position. Classification seniority shall be
prorated as described under the definition
of Adjusted Hire Date.

AFSCME, Local 2170 Contract
2025 – 2027
Page 77
31.3. Departmental Review
31.3.1. Each department may periodically review its budget
and projected workload to determine if layoffs are
necessary.
31.3.2. If it becomes necessary to initiate organizational
change for any reason that results in the reduction of
employees, the Department Administrator will discuss
the organizational change with the Mayor or designee
and the Human Resources Risk Management
Administrator prior to making any changes. The
Department Administrator will determine which
classifications will be affected.
31.3.3. The Mayor will have final authority to eliminate
positions and/or lay off employees.
31.4. Human Resources Risk Management Review
31.4.1 Once the Department Administrator has determined
which classification(s) will be affected, Human
Resources Risk Management (HRRM) will determine
which employee(s) shall be laid off.
31.4.2. No lay-off or reduction to a lower classification shall
be executed so long as there are non-regular
(temporary) employees, whether full-time or part
time, performing substantially similar job duties in a
specific department/division.
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
AFSCME, Local 2170 Contract
2025 – 2027
Page 78
31.4.3. For the purpose of the initial layoff, classification
seniority shall be the determining factor. Employees
shall be laid off from their department or major
division in the inverse order of their classification
seniority in the classification in which the work force is
being reduced. New employees in the affected
classification, serving in their initial probationary
period, shall be separated before any regular Union
employee is laid off in the work unit.
31.4.4. At no time shall layoff, bumping, or recall result in a
promotion.
31.4.5. Tie-Breakers: In the event two or more employees
have the same classification seniority, City seniority
shall prevail. In the event two or more employees
have the same City seniority, a tie-breaker will be used
to determine the employee with the least seniority.
The tie-breaker will be the last four digits of the
employee’s social security number. The employee
with the lowest number shall be considered the
employee with the lowest seniority.
31.4.6. It is understood that classifications may change title.
If a classification has been re-titled or a new
classification created and the duties are substantially
the same, the employee shall be considered having
“previously achieved regular employee status” in the
re-titled or new classification.

31.5. Notice of Layoff
31.5.1 It is the City’s intent to provide employees with notice
of any layoff at least thirty (30) calendar days in
advance of the intended layoff date. When such a
time period is not possible, employees shall be
provided with at least two weeks (14 calendar days)
notice or receive two weeks’ pay in lieu of notification.
31.5.2 Layoffs resulting from the biennial budget process
shall not be final until such time as the budget is
adopted by the City Council.
31.6. Bumping Rights
31.6.1. An employee who is laid off may replace another
employee in an equal or lower classification series in
which the employee works or has previously achieved
regular employee status, provided such employee has
greater City seniority than the employee whom
he/she seeks to replace, and provided the replacing
employee is qualified to perform the work without
further training.
31.6.2. An employee who is laid off may not replace another
employee in the same classification in the same
workgroup from which they are in the process of
being laid off.
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
AFSCME, Local 2170 Contract

Page 80
31.6.3. The requirement to have previously worked in a
classification shall not apply to employees bumping
down to a lower compensated position within a
recognized classification series (e.g., Maintenance
Service Worker, Fire Inspector, etc.).
31.6.4. If the employee is not eligible to bump into another
classification based on his/her City seniority, the
employee shall be laid off and have his/her name
placed on the recall list.
31.7. Recall Rights
31.7.1. The name of any employee who is laid off shall be
placed on the recall list for a period of two (2) years.
31.7.2. Employees who are laid off may be recalled to the
original classification from which they were laid off or
to a lower classification in which they previously
achieved regular status with the City, provided they
are qualified at the time to perform the work in the
classification to which they are recalled without
further training.
31.7.3. When there is a recall during the life of the recall list,
employees who are still on the list shall be recalled in
the inverse order in which they were laid off.
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
AFSCME, Local 2170 Contract
2025 – 2027
Page 81
31.7.4. The City shall not hire new employees in a given
classification as long as there are still employees on
the recall list eligible for recall to that classification.

employees are recalled to a lower classification in a
series, they shall have the right to return to the
classification from which they were originally laid off

but in a different department/division shall have no
recall rights to the position from which he/she was
originally laid off from.

position. For the purposes of this section, “regular
position” also includes Limited Term positions:
31.7.9.1 City seniority: Employees who have been
recalled or rehired into a regular position
within the recall period shall retain their
City seniority as of the date of layoff and
shall begin accumulating additional City
seniority when recalled or rehired back to
work.
31.7.9.2 Classification seniority: Employees who
have been laid off shall begin accumulating
additional classification seniority when
recalled to the classification from which
they were laid off. Employees who are

As there is special interest in the Maintenance Services Worker 3
position, this title will be added to the first batch of positions to be
studied in 2025. If any comparable Maintenance Services Worker 3
positions found at other cities for the market study receive a CDL
premium, that premium will be considered in addition to the base
wage. As this position received a wage adjustment in 2024, this
title is not eligible for the one grade pay increase as described
above.
In order to maintain a competitive compensation structure, the City
shall complete an external market study of every represented
position no less than every three (3) years. The survey will report
at the maximum of base pay plus any deferred compensation
amount, as well as just base pay data. The City will select the
vendor to conduct the market study. Selection of the matches and
associated job descriptions for the matches will be shared with the
Union.
The 10 comparable cities used for the study will include: Auburn,
Bellevue, Everett, Federal Way, Issaquah, Kent, Kirkland, Redmond,
Sammamish and Shoreline.
Lakewood and Marysville will be used as alternate cities, in case 3
or more matches can not be found from the cities listed above.

Employment Relations Commission for resolution.
1.5. Executive Board Meetings

AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
AFSCME, Local 2170 Contract
2022 2025 – 20274
Page 20
in writing, within ten (10) working days of the meeting, unless an
extension is mutually agreed upon. If the Union’s written response
is not provided within the timeframe above, management may
move forward with the changes that have been submitted.
1.7. Point Factor Method (PFM)
In an effort to objectively compare positions for internal equity, the
City has utilized a Point Factor Method (PFM) to help in
determining a position’s pay grade. Internal equity compares
positions according to requirements for similar skill,
education/training, and responsibility, and if the jobs are
performed under similar working conditions. The PFM uses factors
that are commonly found in positions, and each factor is broken
into point values based on the varying levels of difficulty or effort
needed to complete them. The position’s point value is then
compared to other positions to select an appropriate grade.
Effective January 1, 2022, HRRM staff will utilize the Point Factor
Method in conjunction with external market data when
determining a grade placement due to a Reclassification, as part of
a market study, or when creating a new position. If no external
market data exists, the PFM will be used to determine the grade
placement based on the internal equity analysis solely.
Any PFM analysis will be shared with the affected employees and
the union.
1.8. Reclassification Reviews
The reclassification process will be put on pause for the duration of
2025. If the Reclassification process is revised, the policy will be
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
AFSCME, Local 2170 Contract
2022 2025 – 20274
Page 21
shared with the Union and the parties are able to negotiate any
impacts. If the parties are not able to reach agreement by
12/31/2025, the parties will revert to the reclassification process
and timeline as follows:
An employee may request a position review for proper
classification placement when the employee believes that there
has been significant change in duties and responsibilities of the
position. Reclassification reviews will be done in accordance with
City Policy #320-05 (Request for Reclassification), as established
July 7, 2009, to the extent that such does not conflict with the
agreement. A Position Description Questionnaire (PDQ) form must
be fully completed and requires review by the employee’s
supervisor, the Division Director and the Department
Administrator. A market study will be conducted by HRRM staff as
part of the reclassification process for those positions that meet
the definition for requiring a reclassification.
The deadline for submittal of the PDQ to the employee’s supervisor
is May 1. The Department shall forward the request to the Human
Resources Department within 30 days of the initial request. If the
Department does not forward the request within 30 days, the
employee may submit the request directly to the Human Resources
Department to ensure the submission deadline is met. The Human
Resources Department will notify the employee within seven (7)
working days of the receipt of the request. Requests submitted to
Human Resources by the July 1 deadline and subsequently
approved shall be included in the following year’s budget.
Those approved by the City Council shall have an effective date of
January 1 of that budget year. Any delays in the reclassification
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
AFSCME, Local 2170 Contract
2022 2025 – 20274
Page 22
process shall not affect the implementation date and all pay shall
be retroactive to January 1 of that budget year.
Any appeals will be reviewed by the Human Resources and Risk
Management Administrator for a final decision. Human Resources
will meet with the Union regarding salary placement of any revised
position(s).
Once a request to reclassify a position has been submitted and
reviewed, no further consideration will be given to reclassifying the
position for a twenty-four (24) month period following submission.
1.9 Job Description and Salary Updates
Work will be done to reflect current duties, job description
revisions shared per the Union review process, and then HR staff
will conduct a market study, with wage adjustment negotiated for
those deemed under market, for any titles that either have not
received a market study since 2017 or, at the time the market
study was completed, there were not enough matches. Position
titles that do not have a minimum of 4 matches from comparable
cities will be evaluated using the PFM and their salary adjustments
negotiated based on internal equity. The work shall be completed
no later than July 31, 2023.

5.6 WA State Paid Family Medical Leave
5.6.1 Eligible employees are covered by Washington’s Family
and Medical Leave Program, RCW 50A.04. Eligibility for
leave and benefits, which began January 1, 2020, is
established by Washington law and is therefore
independent of this Agreement. Premiums for benefits
are established by law, will total four-tenths of one
percent (0.4%) of employees’ wages (unless otherwise
limited by action of the State). Employees will pay
through payroll deduction the full cost of the
premiums associated with family leave benefits and
forty-five percent (45%) of the cost of the premiums
associated with the medical leave benefits, as
determined under RCW 50A.04.115
5.6.2 Use of sick leave: For better consistency across leave
plans, sick leave may be used for family members,
including spouse, child, grandchild, parent, or
grandparent, as these relationships are defined in the
State PFML. Leave may be taken for siblings only for
State Accrued Sick Leave, and PFML.
5.6.3 Coordination with PFML: Employees who are
approved by the State for a benefit under PFML will be
permitted to use their accrued leave balance as a
“Supplemental Benefit” to bring them to full base pay,
in accordance with provisions outlined by the State.
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
AFSCME, Local 2170 Contract
2022 2025 – 20274
Page 43
Employees will have the option to 1) use accrued leave
exclusively and forgo the PFML, or 2) use PFML
exclusively and forgo use of accrued leave, or 3) use
their accrued leave as a Supplemental Benefit in
combination with their PFML to bring them to full base
pay. Employees may change their election effective
the first day of any pay period, by notifying HR and
completing a new election form.
For those employees, electing option 3 above, the
procedures for a Supplemental Benefit will be similar
to the City’s existing procedures for Workers’ Comp
Time Loss, with the accompanying leave buy back.
Employees will submit leave time to the City for a
Supplemental Benefit for the full number of hours not
worked. They will submit the full amount of the PFML
benefit they receive to the City in a timely manner.
The amount of the PFML benefit will be used to “buy
back” a portion of the accrued leave that was taken as
a Supplemental Benefit. In order to use accrued leave
as a “Supplemental Benefit” the employee must, in
advance, sign an agreement to submit the PFML
benefit amount to the City as soon as practical, and in
no case later than 30 days of receipt. Any employee
electing this option and failing to return the PFML
benefit amount(s) received will be in violation of City
policy and the Union Contract and may be subject to
discipline. When necessary, the Union will support the
bargaining unit members in meeting their “check

Page 85
31.3.1. Each department may periodically review its budget
and projected workload to determine if layoffs are
necessary.
31.3.2. If it becomes necessary to initiate organizational
change for any reason that results in the reduction of

the organizational change with the Mayor or designee
and the Human Resources Risk Management
Administrator prior to making any changes. The
Department Administrator will determine which

31.3.3. The Mayor will have final authority to eliminate
positions and/or lay off employees.
31.4. Human Resources Risk Management Review

employee’s social security number. The employee
with the lowest number shall be considered the
employee with the lowest seniority.
31.4.6. It is understood that classifications may change title.
If a classification has been re-titled or a new
classification created and the duties are substantially
the same, the employee shall be considered having
“previously achieved regular employee status” in the
re-titled or new classification.

As there is special interest in the Maintenance Services Worker 3
position, this title will be added to the first batch of positions to be
studied in 2025. If any comparable Maintenance Services Worker 3
positions found at other cities for the market study receive a CDL
premium, that premium will be considered in addition to the base
wage. As this position received a wage adjustment in 2024, this
title is not eligible for the one grade pay increase as described
above.
In order to maintain a competitive compensation structure, the City
shall complete an external market study of every represented
position no less than every three (3) years. The survey will report
at the maximum of base pay plus any deferred compensation
amount, as well as just base pay data. The City will select the
vendor to conduct the market study. Selection of the matches and
associated job descriptions for the matches will be shared with the
Union.
The 10 comparable cities used for the study will include: Auburn,
Bellevue, Everett, Federal Way, Issaquah, Kent, Kirkland, Redmond,
Sammamish and Shoreline.
Lakewood and Marysville will be used as alternate cities, in case 3
or more matches can not be found from the cities listed above.

AB - 3788
City Council Regular Meeting - 07 Apr 2025
SUBJECT/TITLE: Joint Funded 2025-2026 Human Services Agreement with Sound
Generations - Meals on Wheels Program
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Refer to Finance Committee
DEPARTMENT: Parks & Recreation Department
STAFF CONTACT: Lori Fleming, Human Services Coordinator
EXT.: x6655
FISCAL IMPACT SUMMARY:
This agreement includes Renton funding of $15,000 annually that is part of budgeted human services
contracted services funding, along with $68,932 in annual funding from the cities of Burien, Covington, Des
Moines, Federal Way, SeaTac, and Tukwila. The other cities funding is paid to Renton in advance and held in a
custodial account until used for quarterly payments to the Agency. The annual amount for all cities is $83,932,
with a total two-year contract amount of $167,864.
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The City of Renton and other South King County cities signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in 2003
for the planning, funding, and implementation of a joint human services application and funding program
(CAG-03-012). This MOU involves identifying human services programs that are commonly funded by multiple
cities in the joint application process and designating a Lead City to contract on behalf of the cities. The Lead
City does the contract and payments with the agency on behalf of the participating cities, which simplifies and
reduces the administrative burden for the agency. This means the agency does one contract, rather than
multiple contracts, and processes one payment each quarter rather than multiple payments.
For 2025-2026, Renton is the Lead City for three contracts, including the Sound Generations - Meals on
Wheels Program. Attached is the 2025 Exhibit A to the MOU showing the programs, lead cities, participating
cities, and amounts. Renton's share is $15,000 annually for this contract and the participating cities of Burien,
Covington, Des Moines, Federal Way, SeaTac, and Tukwila shares are $68,932, for an annual contract amount
of $83,932 and a two-year total of $167,864. The Meals on Wheels program has been part of the cities joint
funding program for many years.
EXHIBITS:
A. Joint Funded 2025-2026 Human Services Agreement with Sound Generations - Meals on Wheels Program.
B. 2025 Exhibit A to Joint Human Services Funding MOU.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the Joint Funded 2025-2026 Human Services Agreement with
Sound Generations - Meals on Wheels Program for $167,864.
AGENDA ITEM #6. j)

written notice to the City.
C. In the event this Agreement is terminated or suspended, the Agency shall be entitled
to compensation for any approved Services rendered prior to the termination or
suspension of this Agreement. This provision shall not prevent the City from seeking
any legal remedies it may have for the violation or nonperformance of any of the
provisions of this Agreement and such charges due to the City shall be deducted from
the final payment due the Agency. No payment shall be made by the City for any
expenses incurred or services done following the effective date of termination unless
authorized in advance in writing by the City.
6. Warranties: Agency represents and warrants that Agency will perform all Services
identified in this Agreement in a professional manner and in accordance with all
reasonable and professional standards and laws.

control and direct the performance and details of the Services authorized under this
Agreement, the Services must meet the approval of Renton and shall be subject to
Renton’s general right of inspection to secure satisfact ory completion. Renton shall
review reports to monitor compliance with the level of service required in the Scope of
Service. Renton may also review program performance periodically on-site or virtually.
Should the Agency fail to meet the minimum level of service represented by the
Performance Measures in Exhibit A, Renton reserves the right to adjust payments as
specified Section 4. “Compensation”.
8. Record Maintenance: The Agency shall maintain accounts and records, which properly
reflect all direct and indirect costs expended and Services provided in the performance of
this Agreement and retain such records for as long as may be required by applicable
Washington State records retention laws, but in any event no less than six years after the
termination of this Agreement. The Agency agrees to provide access to and copies of any
records related to this Agreement as required by the City to audit expenditures and
charges and/or to comply with the Washington State Public Records Act (Chapter 42.56
RCW). The provisions of this section shall survive the expiration or termination of this
Agreement.
9. Public Records Compliance: To the full extent the City determines necessary to comply
with the Washington State Public Records Act, Agency shall make a due diligent search of
all records in its possession or control relating to this Agreement and the Services,
including, but not limited to, e-mail, correspondence, notes, saved telephone messages,
recordings, photos, or drawings and provide them to the City for production. In the event
Agency believes said records need to be protected from disclosure, it may, at Agency’s
own expense, seek judicial protection. Agency shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless
AGENDA ITEM #6. j)
PAGE 4 OF 14
the City for all costs, including attorneys’ fees, attendant to any claim or litigation related
to a Public Records Act request for which Agency has responsive records and for which
Agency has withheld records or information contained therein, or not provided them to
the City in a timely manner. Agency shall produce for distribution any and all records
responsive to the Public Records Act request in a timely manner, unless those records are
protected by court order. The provisions of this section shall survive the expiration or
termination of this Agreement.
10. Independent Contractor Relationship:
A. The Agency is retained by the City only for the purposes and to the extent set forth in
this Agreement. The nature of the relationship between the Agency and the City
during the period of the Services shall be that of an independent contractor, not
employee. The Agency, not the City, shall have the power to control and direct the
details, manner or means of Services. Specifically, but not by means of limitation, the
Agency shall have no obligation to work any particular hours or particular schedule,
unless otherwise indicated in the Scope of Services or where scheduling of attendance
or performance is mutually arranged due to the nature of the Services. Agency shall
retain the right to designate the means of performing the Services covered by this
agreement, and the Agency shall be entitled to employ other workers at such
compensation and such other conditions as it may deem proper, provided, however,
that any contract so made by the Agency is to be paid by it alone, and that employing
such workers, it is acting individually and not as an agent for the City.
B. The City shall not be responsible for withholding or otherwise deducting federal
income tax or Social Security or contributing to the State Industrial Insurance
Program, or otherwise assuming the duties of an employer with respect to Agency or
any employee of the Agency.
C. If the Agency is a sole proprietorship or if this Agreement is with an individual, the
Agency agrees to notify the City and complete any required form if the Agency retired
under a State of Washington retirement system and agrees to indemnify any losses
the City may sustain through the Agency’s failure to do so.
11. Hold Harmless: The Agency agrees to release, indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the
City, elected officials, employees, officers, representatives, and volunteers from any and
all claims, demands, actions, suits, causes of action, arbitrations, mediations,
proceedings, judgments, awards, injuries, damages, liabilities, taxes, losses, fines, fees,
penalties, expenses, attorney’s or attorneys’ fees, costs, and/or litigation expenses to or
by any and all persons or entities, arising from, resulting from, or related to the negligent
acts, errors or omissions of the Agency in its performance of this Agreement or a breach
of this Agreement by Agency, except for that portion of the claims caused by the City’s
sole negligence.
AGENDA ITEM #6. j)
PAGE 5 OF 14
Should a court of competent jurisdiction determine that this agreement is subject to RCW
4.24.115, (Validity of agreement to indemnify against liability for negligence relative to
construction, alteration, improvement, etc., of structure or improvement attached to real
estate…) then, in the event of liability for damages arising out of bodily injury to persons
or damages to property caused by or resulting from the concurrent negligence of the
Agency and the City, its officers, officials, employees and volunteers, Agency’s liability
shall be only to the extent of Agency’s negligence.
It is further specifically and expressly understood that the indemnification provided in
this Agreement constitute Agency’s waiver of immunity under the Industrial Insurance
Act, RCW Title 51, solely for the purposes of this indemnification. The Parties have
mutually negotiated and agreed to this waiver. The provisions of this section shall survive
the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
12. Gifts and Conflicts: The City’s Code of Ethics and Washington State law prohibit City
employees from soliciting, accepting, or receiving any gift, gratuity or favor from any
person, firm or corporation involved in a contract or transaction. To ensure compliance
with the City’s Code of Ethics and state law, the Agency shall not give a gift of any kind to
City employees or officials. Agency also confirms that Agency does not have a business
interest or a close family relationship with any City officer or employee who was, is, or
will be involved in selecting the Agency, negotiating or administering this Agreement, or
evaluating the Agency’s performance of the Services.
13. City of Renton Business License: Unless exempted by the Renton Municipal Code,
Agency shall obtain a City of Renton Business License prior to performing any Services
and maintain the business license in good standing throughout the term of this
agreement with the City.
Information regarding acquiring a city business license can be found at:
https://www.rentonwa.gov/Tax

of the City, beyond normal commutes.
E. Agency shall name the City as an Additional Insured on its commercial general liability
policy on a non-contributory primary basis. The City’s insurance policies shall not be
a source for payment of any Agency liability, nor shall the maintenance of any
insurance required by this Agreement be construed to limit the liability of Agency to
the coverage provided by such insurance or otherwise limit the City’s recourse to any
remedy available at law or in equity.
F. Subject to the City’s review and acceptance, a certificate of insurance showing the
proper endorsements, shall be delivered to the City before performing the Services.
G. Agency shall provide the City with written notice of any policy cancellation, within two

SUBJECT/TITLE: Joint Funded 2025-2026 Human Services Agreement with King County
Sexual Assault Resource Center
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Refer to Finance Committee
DEPARTMENT: Parks & Recreation Department
STAFF CONTACT: Lori Fleming, Human Services Coordinator
EXT.: x6655
FISCAL IMPACT SUMMARY:
This contract includes Renton funding of $20,000 annually that is part of budgeted human services contracted
services funding, along with $52,379 in annual funding from the cities of Burien, Covington, Des Moines,
Federal Way, SeaTac, and Tukwila. The other cities funding is paid to Renton in advance and held in a
custodial account until used for quarterly payments to the Agency. The annual amount for all cities is $72,379,
with a total two-year contract amount of $144,758.
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The City of Renton and other South King County cities signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in 2003
for the planning, funding, and implementation of a joint human services application and funding program
(CAG-03-012). This MOU involves identifying human services programs that are commonly funded by multiple
cities in the joint application process and designating a Lead City to contract on behalf of the cities. The Lead
City does the contract and payments with the agency on behalf of the participating cities, which simplifies and
reduces the administrative burden for the agency. This means the agency does one contract, rather than
multiple contracts, and processes one payment each quarter rather than multiple payments.
For 2025-2026, Renton is the Lead City for three contracts, including King County Sexual Assault Resource
Center (KCSARC). Attached is the 2025 Exhibit A to the MOU showing the programs, lead cities, participating
cities, and amounts. Renton's share is $20,000 annually for this contract and the participating cities of Burien,
Covington, Des Moines, Federal Way, SeaTac, and Tukwila shares are $52,379, for an annual contract amount
of $72,379 and a two-year total of $144,758. King County Sexual Assault Resource Center has been part of the
cities joint funding program for many years.

City, elected officials, employees, officers, representatives, and volunteers from any and
all claims, demands, actions, suits, causes of action, arbitrations, mediations,
proceedings, judgments, awards, injuries, damages, liabilities, taxes, losses, fines, fees,
penalties, expenses, attorney’s or attorneys’ fees, costs, and/or litigation expenses to or
by any and all persons or entities, arising from, resulting from, or related to the negligent
acts, errors or omissions of the Agency in its performance of this Agreement or a breach
of this Agreement by Agency, except for that portion of the claims caused by the City’s
sole negligence.

Washington State Department of Health in 2025. This grant through six prior amendments covered up to
$107,950 in incentives as reimbursement, from April 1, 2020 though February 28, 2025, but with this seventh
amendment, will allow up to an additional $25,000 as reimbursement through February 28, 2026.

Acting Assistant Attorney General
Office for Civil Rights Notice for All Recipients
The Office for Civil Rights (OCR), Office of Justice Programs (OJP), U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) enforces federal
civil rights laws and other provisions that prohibit discrimination by recipients of federal financial assistance from OJP,
the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS), and the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW).
Several civil rights laws, including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of
1973, require recipients of federal financial assistance (recipients) to give assurances that they will comply with those
laws. Taken together, these and other civil rights laws prohibit recipients from discriminating in the provision of
services and employment because of race, color, national origin, religion, disability, and sex or from discriminating in
the provision of services on the bases of age.
Some recipients of DOJ financial assistance have additional obligations to comply with other applicable
nondiscrimination provisions like the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, which prohibits
discrimination on the basis of religion in addition to race, color, national origin, and sex. Recipients may also have
related requirements regarding the development and implementation of equal employment opportunity programs.

AGENDA ITEM #6. n)
OCR provides technical assistance, training, and other resources to help recipients comply with civil rights obligations.
Further, OCR administratively enforces civil rights laws and nondiscrimination provisions by investigating DOJ
recipients that are the subject of discrimination complaints. In addition, OCR conducts compliance reviews of DOJ
recipients based on regulatory criteria. These investigations and compliance reviews permit OCR to evaluate whether
DOJ recipients are providing services to the public and engaging in employment practices in a nondiscriminatory
manner .
For more information about OCR, your civil rights and nondiscrimination responsibilities, how to notify your employees
or beneficiaries of their civil rights protections and responsibilities and how to file a complaint, as well as technical
assistance, training, and other resources, please visit www.ojp.gov/program/civil-rights-office/outreach. If you would
like OCR to assist you in fulfilling your civil rights or nondiscrimination responsibilities, please contact us at askOCR@o

Award number: 15PJDP-24-GK-04213-MECP

NEPA determination : Categorical Exclusion
The ICAC Task Force Program furthers the Department of Justice’s mission by helping state and local law
enforcement agencies develop effective responses to online enticement of children by sexual predators, child
exploitation, and child obscenity and child sexual abuse material cases. This program was developed in 1998 to
assist state and local law enforcement agencies with acquiring the necessary knowledge, equipment, and
personnel needed to prevent, interdict, and investigate offenses that constitute technology-facilitated crimes
against children. The task forces provide forensic and investigative technical assistance to law enforcement and
prosecutorial officials, and provide community education information to parents, educators, prosecutors, law
enforcement, and others concerned with child victimization.
The ICAC Task Force Program consists of 61 task forces, each led by a single law enforcement agency. Every
state has at least one task force, with the more populated states having multiple task forces. Each lead agency
receives an annual award from OJJDP, and then serves as the primary entity responsible for improving the
effectiveness and sustainability of their state or regional task force.
None of the following activities will be conducted whether under the Office of Justice Programs federal action or
a related third-party action:
Page: 3 of 21
AGENDA ITEM #6. n)
(1) New construction
(2) Any renovation or remodeling of a property located in an environmentally or historically sensitive area,
including property (a) listed on or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, or (b) located
within a 100-year flood plain, a wetland, or habitat for an endangered species
(3) A renovation that will change the basic prior use of a facility or significantly change its size
(4) Research and technology whose anticipated and future application could be expected to have an effect on the
environment
(5) Implementation of a program involving the use of chemicals (including the
identification, seizure, or closure of clandestine methamphetamine laboratories)
Additionally, the proposed action is neither a phase nor a segment of a project that when reviewed in its entirety
would not meet the criteria for a categorical exclusion.
Consequently, the subject federal action meets the Office of Justice Programs' criteria for a categorical exclusion
as contained in paragraph 4(b) of Appendix D to Part 61 of Title 28 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
Questions about this determination may be directed to Lou Ann Holland, OJJDP’s NEPA Coordinator.

Project Description
The Seattle Police Department (SPD) has participated in the Federal ICAC Task Force Grant Program since 1998 and
formed its Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force that same year. As the Lead Law Enforcement Agency
in the State of Washington, SPD proactively and reactively investigates an ever-growing number of technology-
facilitated crimes against children. Each year since the ICAC Task Force began, the SPD ICAC Commander has
successfully coordinated the number of investigative partner agencies within Washington State which improves the
overall task force’s response to interdict, investigate and prosecute ICAC cases. As the lead agency for the
Washington State ICAC, SPD will continue its long-standing partnership with the Western and Eastern U.S. Attorney’s
Office and their Project Safe Childhood Program, collaborate on multijurisdictional investigations to prosecute ICAC
cases, and provide regional ICAC related training and technical assistance to all Washington State Task Force
affiliates. The Task Force will work to: increase the number of both proactive and reactive investigations; increase the
number of forensic examinations; increase the number of referrals received from other ICAC Task Forces and federal
partners; increase the capabilities of the Washington State ICAC Task Force agencies in the investigation of
technology-facilitated crimes against children; enhance the Washington State ICAC Task Force’s effectiveness in
preventing these types of offenses; and formalize law enforcement partnerships through written agreements.

Award Conditions
This award is offered subject to the conditions or limitations set forth in the Award Information, Project
Information, Financial Information, and Award Conditions.
Condition 1
Meaningful access requirement for individuals with limited English proficiency
The recipient, and any subrecipient at any tier, must take reasonable steps to ensure that individuals with limited
English proficiency (LEP) have meaningful access to their programs and activities to comply with Title VI of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI), which prohibits discrimination on the basis of national origin, including discrimination
against individuals with LEP. Such steps may require providing language assistance services, such as interpretation or
translation services. The Department of Justice guidance on compliance with this requirement may be found at
"Guidance to Federal Financial Assistance Recipients Regarding Title VI Prohibition Against National Origin
Discrimination Affecting Limited English Proficient Persons" (67 Fed. Reg. 41455-41472) (https://
www.federalregister.gov/d/02-15207) and is incorporated by reference here.
Condition 2
Compliance with general appropriations-law restrictions on the use of federal funds (FY 2024)
The recipient, and any subrecipient ("subgrantee") at any tier, must comply with all applicable restrictions on the use of
federal funds set out in federal appropriations statutes. Pertinent restrictions that may be set out in applicable
appropriations acts are indicated at https://ojp.gov/funding/Explore/FY24AppropriationsRestrictions.htm, and are
incorporated by reference here.
Page: 6 of 21
AGENDA ITEM #6. n)
Should a question arise as to whether a particular use of federal funds by a recipient (or a subrecipient) would or might
fall within the scope of an appropriations-law restriction, the recipient is to contact OJP for guidance, and may not
proceed without the express prior written approval of OJP.
Condition 3
Compliance with DOJ regulations pertaining to civil rights and nondiscrimination - 28 C.F.R. Part 38
The recipient, and any subrecipient ("subgrantee") at any tier, must comply with all applicable requirements of 28
C.F.R. Part 38.
Among other things, 28 C.F.R. Part 38 states that recipients may not use direct Federal financial assistance from the
Department to support or engage in any explicitly religious activities except when consistent with the Establishment
Clause of the First Amendment and any other applicable requirements. An organization receiving Federal financial
assistance also may not, in providing services funded by the Department of Justice, or in their outreach activities
related to such services, discriminate against a program beneficiary or prospective program beneficiary on the basis of
religion, a religious belief, a refusal to hold a religious belief, or refusal to attend or participate in a religious practice.
Part 38 also sets out rules and requirements that pertain to recipient and subrecipient ("subgrantee") organizations that
engage in or conduct explicitly religious activities, as well as rules and requirements that pertain to recipients and
subrecipients that are faith-based or religious organizations. In addition, Part 38 states that a faith-based organization
that participates a Department of Justice funded program retains its independence from the Government and may
continue to carry out its mission consistent with religious freedom and conscience protections in Federal law.
Recipients and subrecipients that provide social services under this award must give written notice to beneficiaries and
prospective beneficiaries prior to the provision of services (if practicable) which shall include language substantially
similar to the language in 28 CFR Part 38, Appendix C, sections (1) through (4). A sample written notice may be found
at https://www.ojp.gov/program/civil-rights-office/partnerships-faith-based-and-other-neighborhood-organizations.
In certain instances, a faith-based or religious organization may be able to take religion into account when making
hiring decisions, provided it satisfies certain requirements. For more information, please see https://www.ojp.gov/
funding/explore/legaloverview2024/civilrightsrequirements.
Condition 4
Requirements of the award; remedies for non-compliance or for materially false statements
The conditions of this award are material requirements of the award. Compliance with any assurances or certifications
submitted by or on behalf of the recipient that relate to conduct during the period of performance also is a material
requirement of this award.
Limited Exceptions. In certain special circumstances, the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") may determine that it will
not enforce, or enforce only in part, one or more requirements otherwise applicable to the award. Any such exceptions
regarding enforcement, including any such exceptions made during the period of performance, are (or will be during
the period of performance) set out through the Office of Justice Programs ("OJP") webpage entitled "Legal Notices:
Special circumstances as to particular award conditions" (ojp.gov/funding/Explore/LegalNotices-AwardReqts.htm), and
incorporated by reference into the award.
By signing and accepting this award on behalf of the recipient, the authorized recipient official accepts all material
requirements of the award, and specifically adopts, as if personally executed by the authorized recipient official, all
assurances or certifications submitted by or on behalf of the recipient that relate to conduct during the period of
performance.
Failure to comply with one or more award requirements -- whether a condition set out in full below, a condition
incorporated by reference below, or an assurance or certification related to conduct during the award period -- may
result in OJP taking appropriate action with respect to the recipient and the award. Among other things, the OJP may
withhold award funds, disallow costs, or suspend or terminate the award. DOJ, including OJP, also may take other
legal action as appropriate.
Any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement to the federal government related to this award (or concealment
Page: 7 of 21
AGENDA ITEM #6. n)
or omission of a material fact) may be the subject of criminal prosecution (including under 18 U.S.C. 1001 and/or 1621,
and/or 34 U.S.C. 10271-10273), and also may lead to imposition of civil penalties and administrative remedies for false
claims or otherwise (including under 31 U.S.C. 3729-3730 and 3801-3812).
Should any provision of a requirement of this award be held to be invalid or unenforceable by its terms, that provision
shall first be applied with a limited construction so as to give it the maximum effect permitted by law. Should it be held,
instead, that the provision is utterly invalid or -unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed severable from this
award.
Condition 5
Effect of failure to address audit issues
The recipient understands and agrees that the DOJ awarding agency (OJP or OVW, as appropriate) may withhold
award funds, or may impose other related requirements, if (as determined by the DOJ awarding agency) the recipient
does not satisfactorily and promptly address outstanding issues from audits required by the Part 200 Uniform
Requirements (or by the terms of this award), or other outstanding issues that arise in connection with audits,
investigations, or reviews of DOJ awards.
Condition 6
Applicability of Part 200 Uniform Requirements
The Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements in 2 C.F.R. Part 200, as adopted
and supplemented by DOJ in 2 C.F.R. Part 2800 (together, the "Part 200 Uniform Requirements") apply to this award
from OJP.
For more information and resources on the Part 200 Uniform Requirements as they relate to OJP awards and
subawards ("subgrants"), see the OJP website at https://ojp.gov/funding/Part200UniformRequirements.htm.
Record retention and access: Records pertinent to the award that the recipient (and any subrecipient ("subgrantee") at
any tier) must retain -- typically for a period of 3 years from the date of submission of the final expenditure report (SF
425), unless a different retention period applies -- and to which the recipient (and any subrecipient ("subgrantee") at
any tier) must provide access, include performance measurement information, in addition to the financial records,
supporting documents, statistical records, and other pertinent records indicated at 2 C.F.R. 200.334.
In the event that an award-related question arises from documents or other materials prepared or distributed by OJP
that may appear to conflict with, or differ in some way from, the provisions of the Part 200 Uniform Requirements, the
recipient is to contact OJP promptly for clarification.
Condition 7
Reporting potential fraud, waste, and abuse, and similar misconduct
The recipient, and any subrecipients ("subgrantees") at any tier, must promptly refer to the DOJ Office of the Inspector
General (OIG) any credible evidence that a principal, employee, agent, subrecipient, contractor, subcontractor, or other
person has, in connection with funds under this award-- (1) submitted a claim that violates the False Claims Act; or (2)
committed a criminal or civil violation of laws pertaining to fraud, conflict of interest, bribery, gratuity, or similar
misconduct.
Potential fraud, waste, abuse, or misconduct involving or relating to funds under this award should be reported to the
OIG by--(1) online submission accessible via the OIG webpage at https://oig.justice.gov/hotline/contact-grants.htm
(select "Submit Report Online"); (2) mail directed to: U.S. Department of Justice, Office of the Inspector General,

other events
The recipient, and any subrecipient ("subgrantee") at any tier, must comply with all applicable laws, regulations,
policies, and official DOJ guidance (including specific cost limits, prior approval and reporting requirements, where

including the provision of food and/or beverages at such conferences, and costs of attendance at such conferences.
Information on the pertinent DOJ definition of conferences and the rules applicable to this award appears in the DOJ

Condition 14
Requirement to disclose whether recipient is designated "high risk" by a federal grant-making agency outside of DOJ
If the recipient is designated "high risk" by a federal grant-making agency outside of DOJ, currently or at any time
during the course of the period of performance under this award, the recipient must disclose that fact and certain
related information to OJP by email at OJP.ComplianceReporting@ojp.usdoj.gov. For purposes of this disclosure, high

B. Notify all persons associated with the recipient (or any subrecipient) who are or will be involved in activities under
this award of both--
(1) this award requirement for verification of employment eligibility, and

hire (or recruit for employment) certain aliens.
C. Provide training (to the extent necessary) to those persons required by this condition to be notified of the award
requirement for employment eligibility verification and of the associated provisions of 8 U.S.C. 1324a(a)(1).
D. As part of the recordkeeping for the award (including pursuant to the Part 200 Uniform Requirements), maintain

Form I-9 record retention requirements, as well as records of all pertinent notifications and trainings.
2. Monitoring
The recipient's monitoring responsibilities include monitoring of subrecipient compliance with this condition.

4. Rules of construction
A. Staff involved in the hiring process
For purposes of this condition, persons "who are or will be involved in activities under this award" specifically includes

Page: 10 of 21
AGENDA ITEM #6. n)
For purposes of satisfying the requirement of this condition regarding verification of employment eligibility, the recipient
(or any subrecipient) may choose to participate in, and use, E-Verify (www.e-verify.gov), provided an appropriate
person authorized to act on behalf of the recipient (or subrecipient) uses E-Verify (and follows the proper E-Verify
procedures, including in the event of a "Tentative Nonconfirmation" or a "Final Nonconfirmation") to confirm
employment eligibility for each hiring for a position in the United States that is or will be funded (in whole or in part) with
award funds.
C. "United States" specifically includes the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands of the United
States, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
D. Nothing in this condition shall be understood to authorize or require any recipient, any subrecipient at any tier, or
any person or other entity, to violate any federal law, including any applicable civil rights or nondiscrimination law.
E. Nothing in this condition, including in paragraph 4.B., shall be understood to relieve any recipient, any subrecipient
at any tier, or any person or other entity, of any obligation otherwise imposed by law, including 8 U.S.C. 1324a(a)(1).
Questions about E-Verify should be directed to DHS. For more information about E-Verify visit the E-Verify website
(https://www.e-verify.gov/) or email E-Verify at E-Verify@dhs.gov. E-Verify employer agents can email E-Verify at E-
VerifyEmployerAgent@dhs.gov.
Questions about the meaning or scope of this condition should be directed to OJP, before award acceptance.
Condition 16
Encouragement of policies to ban text messaging while driving
Pursuant to Executive Order 13513, "Federal Leadership on Reducing Text Messaging While Driving," 74 Fed. Reg.
51225 (October 1, 2009), DOJ encourages recipients and subrecipients ("subgrantees") to adopt and enforce policies
banning employees from text messaging while driving any vehicle during the course of performing work funded by this
award, and to establish workplace safety policies and conduct education, awareness, and other outreach to decrease
crashes caused by distracted drivers.
Condition 17
Reclassification of various statutory provisions to a new Title 34 of the United States Code
On September 1, 2017, various statutory provisions previously codified elsewhere in the U.S. Code were editorially
reclassified (that is, moved and renumbered) to a new Title 34, entitled "Crime Control and Law Enforcement." The
reclassification encompassed a number of statutory provisions pertinent to OJP awards (that is, OJP grants and
cooperative agreements), including many provisions previously codified in Title 42 of the U.S. Code.
Effective as of September 1, 2017, any reference in this award document to a statutory provision that has been
reclassified to the new Title 34 of the U.S. Code is to be read as a reference to that statutory provision as reclassified
to Title 34. This rule of construction specifically includes references set out in award conditions, references set out in
material incorporated by reference through award conditions, and references set out in other award requirements.
Condition 18
Restrictions and certifications regarding non-disclosure agreements and related matters
No recipient or subrecipient ("subgrantee") under this award, or entity that receives a procurement contract or
subcontract with any funds under this award, may require any employee or contractor to sign an internal confidentiality
agreement or statement that prohibits or otherwise restricts, or purports to prohibit or restrict, the reporting (in
accordance with law) of waste, fraud, or abuse to an investigative or law enforcement representative of a federal
department or agency authorized to receive such information.
The foregoing is not intended, and shall not be understood by the agency making this award, to contravene
requirements applicable to Standard Form 312 (which relates to classified information), Form 4414 (which relates to
sensitive compartmented information), or any other form issued by a federal department or agency governing the
nondisclosure of classified information.
Page: 11 of 21
AGENDA ITEM #6. n)
1. In accepting this award, the recipient--
a. represents that it neither requires nor has required internal confidentiality agreements or statements from employees
or contractors that currently prohibit or otherwise currently restrict (or purport to prohibit or restrict) employees or
contractors from reporting waste, fraud, or abuse as described above; and
b. certifies that, if it learns or is notified that it is or has been requiring its employees or contractors to execute
agreements or statements that prohibit or otherwise restrict (or purport to prohibit or restrict), reporting of waste, fraud,
or abuse as described above, it will immediately stop any further obligations of award funds, will provide prompt written
notification to the federal agency making this award, and will resume (or permit resumption of) such obligations only if
expressly authorized to do so by that agency.
2. If the recipient does or is authorized under this award to make subawards ("subgrants"), procurement contracts, or
both--
a. it represents that--
(1) it has determined that no other entity that the recipient's application proposes may or will receive award funds
(whether through a subaward ("subgrant"), procurement contract, or subcontract under a procurement contract) either
requires or has required internal confidentiality agreements or statements from employees or contractors that currently
prohibit or otherwise currently restrict (or purport to prohibit or restrict) employees or contractors from reporting waste,
fraud, or abuse as described above; and
(2) it has made appropriate inquiry, or otherwise has an adequate factual basis, to support this representation; and

subrecipient ("subgrantee") at any tier, either directly or indirectly, to support or oppose the enactment, repeal,
modification, or adoption of any law, regulation, or policy, at any level of government. See 18 U.S.C. 1913. (There may
be exceptions if an applicable federal statute specifically authorizes certain activities that otherwise would be barred by
law.)
Page: 14 of 21
AGENDA ITEM #6. n)
Another federal law generally prohibits federal funds awarded by OJP from being used by the recipient, or any
subrecipient at any tier, to pay any person to influence (or attempt to influence) a federal agency, a Member of
Congress, or Congress (or an official or employee of any of them) with respect to the awarding of a federal grant or
cooperative agreement, subgrant, contract, subcontract, or loan, or with respect to actions such as renewing,
extending, or modifying any such award. See 31 U.S.C. 1352. Certain exceptions to this law apply, including an
exception that applies to Indian tribes and tribal organizations.
Should any question arise as to whether a particular use of federal funds by a recipient (or subrecipient) would or might
fall within the scope of these prohibitions, the recipient is to contact OJP for guidance, and may not proceed without the
express prior written approval of OJP.
Condition 30
All subawards ("subgrants") must have specific federal authorization
The recipient, and any subrecipient ("subgrantee") at any tier, must comply with all applicable requirements for
authorization of any subaward. This condition applies to agreements that -- for purposes of federal grants
administrative requirements -- OJP considers a "subaward" (and therefore does not consider a procurement
"contract").
The details of the requirement for authorization of any subaward are posted on the OJP web site at https://ojp.gov/
funding/Explore/SubawardAuthorization.htm (Award condition: All subawards ("subgrants") must have specific federal

The recipient agrees to cooperate with OJP monitoring of this award pursuant to OJP's guidelines, protocols, and
procedures, and to cooperate with OJP (including the grant manager for this award and the Office of Chief Financial
Officer (OCFO)) requests related to such monitoring, including requests related to desk reviews and/or site visits. The

This limitation on compensation rates allowable under this award may be waived on an individual basis at the
discretion of the OJP official indicated in the program announcement under which this award is made.
Condition 36

Condition 37
The Project Director and/or any other key program personnel designated in the application shall be replaced only for
compelling reasons. Successors to key personnel must be approved by OJP, and such approval is contingent upon
submission of appropriate information, including, but not limited to, a resume. Changes in program personnel, other

Condition 38
Statement of Federal Involvement:
Due to the substantial Federal involvement contemplated in completion of this project, the Office of Juvenile Justice

Responsibility for general oversight and redirection of the project, if necessary, rests with OJJDP. In addition to its
programmatic reporting requirements, the recipient agrees to provide necessary information as requested by OJP and
OJJDP. Information requests may include, but are not limited to, specific submissions related to: performance,
including measurement of project outputs/outcomes; meeting performance specifications; developmental decision

circumstances, recipients of OJP awards are required to report information about such proceedings, through the
federal System for Award Management (known as "SAM"), to the designated federal integrity and performance system
(currently, "FAPIIS").
The details of recipient obligations regarding the required reporting (and updating) of information on certain civil,
criminal, and administrative proceedings to the federal designated integrity and performance system (currently,
"FAPIIS") within SAM are posted on the OJP web site at https://ojp.gov/funding/FAPIIS.htm (Award condition:

that more restrictive condition apply): The recipient may not drawdown more than 10% of the award. Pre-clearance
obligations, expenditures, and drawdowns may be disallowed if not in compliance with program requirements.
The recipient should be judicious in using award funds prior to budget clearance. Generally, OJP expects that
recipients (depending on the specific project scope) may need to advertise for award-funded positions, pay personnel
and fringe benefits for positions budgeted under the award, plan for project activities, attend training and pay training-

C.F.R. 200.414(f), and advises OJP in writing of both its eligibility and its election.
The financial review of the budget for this award is pending. If the OJP Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO)
determines as part of its financial review that the recipient already has submitted the documentation concerning
indirect costs described above, this condition will be released through a Grant Award Condition Modification (ACM)
upon completion of the OCFO final budget review.
Page: 19 of 21
AGENDA ITEM #6. n)
If the OJP OCFO instead determines as part of its financial review that the recipient has not yet submitted the required

Term 11. NEPA Requirements
DOE must comply with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) prior to authorizing the
use of Federal funds. Based on all information provided by the Recipient, SCEP has made a
NEPA determination by issuing a categorical exclusion (CX) for all activities listed in the Activity
File approved by the Contracting Officer and the DOE NEPA Determination. The Recipient is
thereby authorized to use Federal funds for the defined project activities, subject the
Recipient’s compliance with the conditions stated below and except where such activity is
subject to a restriction set forth elsewhere in this Award.
Condition(s):
1. This NEPA Determination only applies to activities funded by the Administrative and
Legal Requirements Document (ALRD) for the EECBG Program Formula Infrastructure
Investment and Jobs Act (EECBG Formula - IIJA) awarded to non-tribal recipients
proposing non-ground disturbing activities within states that have a DOE executed
Historic Preservation Programmatic Agreement.
2. Activities not listed under "Blueprints and additional activities” within this NEPA
determination are subject to additional NEPA review and approval by DOE. For activities
requiring additional NEPA review, Recipients must complete the environmental
questionnaire (EQ-1) found at https: //www.eere-pmc.energy.gov/NEPA.aspx and
receive notification from DOE that the NEPA review has been completed and approved
by the Contracting Officer prior to initiating the project or activities.
3. Activities proposed on tribal lands or tribal properties would be restricted to
homes/buildings less than forty-five (45) years old and without ground disturbance.
Recipients must contact the DOE Project Officer for a Historic Preservation Worksheet
to request a review of activities that are listed below on tribal homes/buildings forty-
five (45) years and older and/or ground disturbing activities. The DOE NEPA team must
review the Historic Preservation Worksheet and notify the Recipient’s DOE Project
Officer before activities listed on the Historic Preservation Worksheet may begin.
4. This authorization does not include activities where the following elements exist:
extraordinary circumstances; cumulative impacts or connected actions that may lead to
significant effects on the human environment; or any inconsistency with the "integral
elements" (as contained in 10 CFR Part 1021, Appendix B) as they relate to a particular
project.
5. The Recipient must identify and promptly notify DOE of extraordinary circumstances,
cumulative impacts or connected actions that may lead to significant effects on the
human environment, or any inconsistency with the “integral elements” (as contained in
10 CFR Part 1021, Appendix B) as they relate to project activities.
6. Recipients must have a DOE executed Historic Preservation Programmatic Agreement
and adhere to the terms and restrictions of its DOE executed Historic Preservation

7. Recipients are responsible for reviewing the online NEPA and Historic preservation
training at www.energy.gov/node/4816816 and contacting EECBG.NEPA@ee.doe.gov
with any EECBG NEPA or historic preservation questions.
8. Recipients are required to submit an annual Historic Preservation Report in the
Performance and Accountability for Grants in Energy system (PAGE) at
https://www.page.energy.gov/default.aspx.
9. Most activities listed under “Blueprints and additional activities” within this NEPA
determination are more restrictive than the Categorical Exclusion. The restrictions
included in the “Blueprints and additional activities” must be followed.
10. This authorization excludes any activities that are otherwise subject to a restriction set
forth elsewhere in the award.
This authorization is specific to the project activities and locations as described in the Activity
File approved by the Contracting Officer and the DOE NEPA Determination.
If the Recipient later intends to add to or modify the activities or locations as described in the
approved Activity File and the DOE NEPA Determination, those new activities/locations or
modified activities/locations are subject to additional NEPA review and are not authorized for
Federal funding until the Contracting Officer provides written authorization on those additions
or modifications. Should the Recipient elect to undertake activities or change locations prior to
written authorization from the Contracting Officer, the Recipient does so at risk of not receiving
Federal funding for those activities, and such costs may not be recognized as allowable cost
share.
Term 12. Performance of Work in United States
A. Requirement
All work performed under this Award must be performed in the United States unless the
Contracting Officer provides a waiver. This requirement does not apply to the purchase of
supplies and equipment; however, the Recipient should make every effort to purchase supplies
and equipment within the United States. The Recipient must flow down this requirement to its
subrecipients.
B. Failure to Comply
If the Recipient fails to comply with the Performance of Work in the United States requirement,
the Contracting Officer may deny reimbursement for the work conducted outside the United
States and such costs may not be recognized as allowable Recipient cost share of if the work is
performed by the Recipient, subrecipients, contractors or other project partners.
C. Waiver for Work Outside the U.S.
All work performed under this Award must be performed in the United States. However, the
Contracting Officer may approve the Recipient to perform a portion of the work outside the
AGENDA ITEM #6. o)
DOE Special Terms and Conditions
Award No. DE-SE0000369.0000 With City of Renton
8
United States under limited circumstances. The Recipient must obtain a waiver from the
Contracting Officer prior to conducting any work outside the U.S. To request a waiver, the
Recipient must submit a written waiver request to the Contracting Officer, which includes the
information as required in the FOA that the Award was selected under.
For the rationale, the Recipient must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Contracting Officer
that the performance of work outside the United States would further the purposes of the FOA
that the Award was selected under and is in the economic interests of the United States. The
Contracting Officer may require additional information before considering such request.
Term 13. Notice Regarding the Purchase of American-Made Equipment and
Products – Sense of Congress
It is the sense of the Congress that, to the greatest extent practicable, all equipment and
products purchased with funds made available under this Award should be American-made.
Term 14. Reporting Requirements
The reporting requirements for this Award are identified on the Federal Assistance Reporting
Checklist, attached to this Award. Failure to comply with these reporting requirements is
considered a material noncompliance with the terms of the Award. Noncompliance may result
in withholding of future payments, suspension, or termination of the current award, and
withholding of future awards. A willful failure to perform, a history of failure to perform, or
unsatisfactory performance of this and/or other financial assistance awards, may also result in a
debarment action to preclude future awards by federal agencies.
Term 15. Lobbying
By accepting funds under this Award, the Recipient agrees that none of the funds obligated on
the Award shall be expended, directly or indirectly, to influence congressional action on any
legislation or appropriation matters pending before Congress, other than to communicate to
Members of Congress as described in 18 U.S.C. § 1913. This restriction is in addition to those
prescribed elsewhere in statute and regulation.

The Recipient must request authorization from the Contracting Officer to continue to use the
property for the authorized project purposes beyond the award period of performance
(“Request for Continued Use”). The Recipient’s written Request for Continued Use must
identify the property and include: a summary of how the property will be used (must align with
the authorized project purposes); a proposed use period (e.g., perpetuity, until fully
depreciated, or a calendar date where the Recipient expects to submit disposition instructions);
acknowledgement that the recipient shall not sell or encumber the property or permit any
encumbrance without prior written DOE approval; current fair market value of the property;
and an Estimated Useful Life or depreciation schedule for equipment.
When the property is no longer needed for authorized project purposes, the Recipient must
request disposition instructions from DOE. For-profit entity disposition requirements are set
forth at 2 CFR 910.360. Property disposition requirements for other non-federal entities are set
forth in 2 CFR 200.310 – 200.316.
Term 24. Property Trust Relationship
Real property, equipment, and intangible property, that are acquired or improved with a
Federal award must be held in trust by the non-Federal entity as trustee for the beneficiaries of

DOE Special Terms and Conditions
Award No. DE-SE0000369.0000 With City of Renton
13
DOE may conduct a final audit at the end of the project period (or the termination of
the Award, if applicable). Upon completion of the audit, the Recipient is required to
refund to DOE any payments for costs that were determined to be unallowable. If
the audit has not been performed or completed prior to the closeout of the award,
DOE retains the right to recover an appropriate amount after fully considering the
recommendations on disallowed costs resulting from the final audit.
DOE will provide reasonable advance notice of audits and will minimize interference
with ongoing work, to the maximum extent practicable.
B. Annual Independent Audits (Single Audit or Compliance Audit)
The Recipient must comply with the annual independent audit requirements in 2
CFR 200.500 through .521 for institutions of higher education, nonprofit
organizations, and state and local governments (Single audit), and 2 CFR 910.500
through .521 for for-profit entities (Compliance audit).
The annual independent audits are separate from Government-initiated audits
discussed in part A. of this Term and must be paid for by the Recipient. To minimize
expense, the Recipient may have a Compliance audit in conjunction with its annual
audit of financial statements. The financial statement audit is not a substitute for
the Compliance audit. If the audit (Single audit or Compliance audit, depending on
Recipient entity type) has not been performed or completed prior to the closeout of
the award, DOE may impose one or more of the actions outlined in 2 CFR 200.339,
Remedies for Noncompliance.

Term 29. Refund Obligation
The Recipient must refund any excess payments received from SCEP, including any costs
determined unallowable by the Contracting Officer. Upon the end of the project period (or the
termination of the Award, if applicable), the Recipient must refund to SCEP the difference
between (1) the total payments received from SCEP, and (2) the Federal share of the costs
incurred. Refund obligations under this Term do not supersede the annual reconciliation or
true up process if specified under the Indirect Cost Term.
Term 30. Allowable Costs
SCEP determines the allowability of costs through reference to 2 CFR part 200 as amended by 2
CFR part 910. All project costs must be allowable, allocable, and reasonable. The Recipient
must document and maintain records of all project costs, including, but not limited to, the costs
paid by Federal funds, costs claimed by its subrecipients and project costs that the Recipient
claims as cost sharing, including in-kind contributions. The Recipient is responsible for
maintaining records adequate to demonstrate that costs claimed have been incurred, are
reasonable, allowable and allocable, and comply with the cost principles. Upon request, the
Recipient is required to provide such records to SCEP. Such records are subject to audit.
Failure to provide SCEP adequate supporting documentation may result in a determination by
the Contracting Officer that those costs are unallowable.
The Recipient is required to obtain the prior written approval of the Contracting Officer for any
foreign travel costs.
Term 31. Indirect Costs
A. Indirect Cost Allocation:
The budget for this Award does not include an allocation of segregated
indirect billing rates. Therefore, indirect charges shall not be charged under
allocated billing rates, nor shall reimbursement be requested for this project
for segregated indirect cost billing rates, nor shall any indirect charges for this
project be allocated to any other Federally sponsored project. The Recipient
cannot claim indirect costs separately as cost share.
B. Fringe Cost Allocation:
The budget for this award does not include an allocation of segregated fringe billing
rates. Fringe benefit costs have been found reasonable as incorporated in the
Recipient’s burdened labor rate or under an allocated indirect cost billing
rate. Therefore, fringe benefit costs shall not be charged as a separate rate
allocation to this Award. SCEP will not reimburse fringe benefit costs as a separate
budget item. Fringe benefit costs for this Award cannot be allocated as a separate
rate allocation to any other Federally sponsored project.

costs for each budget period as shown in Attachment 3 to this Award.
ii. Award Closeout
The closeout of the DOE award does not affect (1) the right of the DOE
to disallow costs and recover funds on the basis of a later audit or other
review; (2) the requirement for the Recipient to return any funds due
as a result of later refunds, corrections or other transactions including
final indirect cost billing rate adjustments; and (3) the ability of the DOE
to make financial adjustments to a previously closed award resolving
indirect cost payments and making final payments.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Award, the Government shall not be responsible
for or have any obligation to the Recipient for (1) Decontamination and/or Decommissioning
(D&D) of any of the Recipient’s facilities, or (2) any costs which may be incurred by the

authorized to that particular budget period, without specific written approval from
the Contracting Officer. The Recipient must immediately refund SCEP any amounts
spent or drawn down in excess of the authorized amount for a budget period. The
Recipient and subrecipients shall promptly, but at least quarterly, remit to DOE

stated as “Total” in Block 12 to the Assistance Agreement of this Award.
C. Transfer of Funds Between Direct and Indirect Cost Categories
The Recipient is required to obtain the prior written approval of the Contracting
Officer for any transfer of funds between direct and indirect cost categories. If the
Recipient’s actual allowable indirect costs are less than those budgeted in
Attachment 3 to this Award, the Recipient may use the difference to pay additional
allowable direct costs during the project period so long as the total difference is less
than 10% of total project costs and the difference is reflected in actual requests for
reimbursement to DOE.
Subpart C. Miscellaneous Provisions
Term 36. Environmental, Safety and Health Performance of Work at DOE
Facilities

authorized to receive such information.
B. The Recipient further attests that it does not and will not use any Federal funds to
implement or enforce any nondisclosure and/or confidentiality policy, form, or
agreement it uses unless it contains the following provisions:
i. ‘‘These provisions are consistent with and do not supersede, conflict with, or
otherwise alter the employee obligations, rights, or liabilities created by
existing statute or Executive order relating to (1) classified information, (2)
communications to Congress, (3) the reporting to an Inspector General of a
violation of any law, rule, or regulation, or mismanagement, a gross waste of
funds, an abuse of authority, or a substantial and specific danger to public
health or safety, or (4) any other whistleblower protection. The definitions,
requirements, obligations, rights, sanctions, and liabilities created by

this agreement and are controlling.’’
ii. The limitation above shall not contravene requirements applicable to
Standard Form 312, Form 4414, or any other form issued by a Federal
department or agency governing the nondisclosure of classified information.
Notwithstanding provision listed in paragraph (a), a nondisclosure or confidentiality policy form
or agreement that is to be executed by a person connected with the conduct of an intelligence
or intelligence-related activity, other than an employee or officer of the United States
Government, may contain provisions appropriate to the particular activity for which such
document is to be used. Such form or agreement shall, at a minimum, require that the person
will not disclose any classified information received in the course of such activity unless
specifically authorized to do so by the United States Government. Such nondisclosure or
confidentiality forms shall also make it clear that they do not bar disclosures to Congress, or to

an authorized official of an executive agency or the Department of Justice, that are essential to
reporting a substantial violation of law.
Term 40. Subrecipient Change Notification
Except for subrecipients specifically proposed as part of the Recipient’s Application for award,
the Recipient must notify the Contracting Officer and Project Manager in writing 30 days prior
to the execution of new or modified subrecipient agreements, including naming any To Be
Determined subrecipients. This notification does not constitute a waiver of the prior approval
requirements outlined in 2 CFR part 200 as amended by 2 CFR part 910, nor does it relieve the
Recipient from its obligation to comply with applicable Federal statutes, regulations, and
executive orders.
In order to satisfy this notification requirement, the Recipient documentation must, as a
minimum, include the following:
• A description of the research to be performed, the service to be provided, or the
equipment to be purchased.
• Cost share commitment letter if the subrecipient is providing cost share to the Award.
• An assurance that the process undertaken by the Recipient to solicit the subrecipient
complies with their written procurement procedures as outlined in 2 CFR 200.317
through 200.327.
• An assurance that no planned, actual or apparent conflict of interest exists between the
Recipient and the selected subrecipient and that the Recipient’s written standards of
conduct were followed.1
• A completed Environmental Questionnaire, if applicable.
• An assurance that the subrecipient is not a debarred or suspended entity.
• An assurance that all required award provisions will be flowed down in the resulting
subrecipient agreement.
The Recipient is responsible for making a final determination to award or modify subrecipient
agreements under this agreement, but the Recipient may not proceed with the subrecipient
agreement until the Contracting Officer determines, and provides the Recipient written
notification, that the information provided is adequate.
1 It is DOE’s position that the existence of a “covered relationship” as defined in 5 CFR 2635.502(a)&(b) between a member of
the Recipient’s owners or senior management and a member of a subrecipient’s owners or senior management creates at a
minimum an apparent conflict of interest that would require the Recipient to notify the Contracting Officer and provide
detailed information and justification (including, for example, mitigation measures) as to why the subrecipient agreement does
not create an actual conflict of interest. The Recipient must also notify the Contracting Officer of any new subrecipient
agreement with: (1) an entity that is owned or otherwise controlled by the Recipient; or (2) an entity that is owned or
otherwise controlled by another entity that also owns or otherwise controls the Recipient, as it is DOE’s position that these
situations also create at a minimum an apparent conflict of interest.

Should the Recipient not receive a written notification of adequacy from the Contracting Officer
within 30 days of the submission of the subrecipient documentation stipulated above, the
Recipient may proceed to award or modify the proposed subrecipient agreement.
Term 41. Conference Spending
The Recipient shall not expend any funds on a conference not directly and programmatically
related to the purpose for which the grant was awarded that would defray the cost to the
United States Government of a conference held by any Executive branch department, agency,
board, commission, or office for which the cost to the United States Government would
otherwise exceed $20,000, thereby circumventing the required notification by the head of any
such Executive Branch department, agency, board, commission, or office to the Inspector
General (or senior ethics official for any entity without an Inspector General), of the date,
location, and number of employees attending such conference.
Term 42. Reporting of Matters Related to Recipient Integrity and
Performance Matters

6. Description (executive summary of goals and objectives)*
The goal of Renton’s Landscaping Equipment Transition Pilot Project is to replace a portion of the gaspowered handheld and offroad
landscaping equipment used by the Parks & Recreation and Public Works departments with highperformance battery electric alternatives. This
project will achieve several objectives that align with Renton’s longterm climate strategies, and with the City’s commitment to making Renton a
safe, healthy, and vibrant community for residents, visitors, and workers:
1.Reduce or eliminate greenhouse gas emissions, air toxins, and particulate matter emitted by gaspowered landscape maintenance equipment
used by City of Renton staff.
2.Reduce negative health impacts caused by use of gaspowered landscape maintenance equipment, which particularly impact maintenance
workers and vulnerable populations.
3.Equip the Parks & Recreation and Public Works Departments with high quality, effective equipment that not only facilitates their job duties
and helps them provide highquality service to the residents of Renton, but also fosters a safe and healthy working environment.
To achieve these objectives, the city will work with a consultant (American Green Zone Alliance, or AGZA) to develop a transition plan and
conduct an inventory of current equipment used by Public Works and Parks & Rec to determine equipment, storage and infrastructure needs. The
transition plan will also include an assessment of cityowned properties and parks where Renton may be able to meet the qualifications for Green
Zone certification (detailed in the Milestone Descriptions below). AGZA will then assemble a report on recommended equipment and charging
infrastructure to purchase that fit the required use cases of the maintenance staff. Then, the majority of EECBG funding will be used to purchase
equipment, and funds will be divided between the Public Works and Parks & Rec departments. Maintenance staff will be given time to trial the
equipment and receive training on the operation and maintenance of battery electric equipment from AGZA. The consultant will also employ some of
the grant funds to develop outreach and communication materials to provide the public with information on the project and on any city properties
that receive Green Zone certification. The activities that will be completed by AGZA are outlined and detailed further in the Milestone
Descriptions of this application.

Within five (5) calendar days after the event, or as specified.
If a for-profit recipient or subrecipient desires to purchase a piece of equipment for their
project, and the per-unit dollar value of said equipment is $5,000 or more, and the federal
share of the financial assistance agreement is more than $1M, the recipient or subrecipient
must file a UCC financing statement.
A UCC financing statement provides public notice that the federal government has an
undivided reversionary interest in the equipment, and as such the equipment cannot be
sold or used as collateral for a loan (encumbered).
The for-profit recipient or subrecipient must file the UCC financing statement(s) with the
Secretary of State where the equipment will be physically located and must pay any
associated costs for such filings.
The initial UCC financing statement may also be referred to as a UCC1. For additional pieces
of equipment not specified in the award budget, TBD equipment, or equipment needed in
future budget periods, the recipient can file an amendment to the original UCC1 financing
statement, by submitting the UCC3 financing statement amendment.
Each UCC financing statement or amendment is to be filed with the appropriate Secretary
of State office, where the equipment will be physically located.
Note: All costs associated with filing UCC financing statements, UCC financing statement
amendments, and UCC financing statement terminations, are allowable and allocable costs
which can be charged to the federal award.
At a minimum, the recipient must have stated in their UCC financing statement in block 4.
(collateral) the following:
o “Title to all equipment (not real property) purchased with federal funds under this
financial assistance agreement is conditional pursuant to the terms of 2 CFR 910.360,
and the federal government retains an undivided reversionary interest in the equipment
at the federal cost-share proportion specified in the award terms and conditions.”

Federal Assistance Reporting Checklist
As required by 2 CFR 200 Subpart F, non-federal entities that expend $750,000 or more
during the non-federal entity's fiscal year in federal awards must have a single or program-
specific audit conducted. The single audit must be conducted in accordance with §200.514
Scope of audit, except when it elects to have a program-specific audit conducted.
For most single audits, the requirement is for annual single audits. However, there are
occasions where a single audit is not required annually. Per 2 CFR 200.504 - Frequency of
audits, a state, local government, or Indian tribe that is required by constitution or statute
to undergo its audits less frequently than annually, is permitted to undergo its audits
biennially. Also, any nonprofit organization that had biennial audits for all biennial periods
ending between July 1, 1992, and January 1, 1995, is permitted to undergo its single audits
biennially.
For a program-specific audit, when a recipient expends federal award funds under only one
federal program (excluding R&D) and the federal program's statutes, regulations, or the
terms and conditions of the federal award do not require a financial statement audit of the
auditee, the auditee may elect to have a program-specific audit conducted. A program-
specific audit may not be elected for R&D unless all of the federal awards expended were
received from the same federal agency, or the same federal agency and the same pass-
through entity, and that federal agency, or pass-through entity in the case of a subrecipient,
approves in advance a program-specific audit.
The single audit report shall include audited financial statements.

Remarks
The equipment type, number and prices included in this budget are estimates based on review of the City of Renton's current equipment inventory, a scan of market
costs for batteryelectric equipment, and some guidance from the consultant (AGZA). A component of the services that AGZA will deliver includes a thorough
analysis of Renton's equipment inventory and recommendations for equipment, storage and infrastructure to be purchased. As a result, it is highly likely that the costs
by equipment type will change (though they will not exceed the funding allocated by EECBG) based on the consultant's recommendations.

AGENDA ITEM #6. o)
The city will use this blueprint to transition its small maintenance equipment from gas to electric. The project directly supports the goals and priorities included
in the Clean Economy Strategy (CES) – Renton ’s climate action strategy document. The CES provides a framework for citywide planning efforts and moves
the city toward its collective vision of net zero emissions and climate resilience. The CES outlines a set of priority strategies and actions to be implemented to
reach our climate goals. Included in these strategies is an action directing the city to “Transition to electric offroad equipment such as lawnmowers and leaf
blowers” (CES 2.0, Appendix A, TL 1.7). Findings from a 2019 GHG inventory of Renton’s emissions showed that approximately 378 MTCO2e came from
offroad maintenance equipment. The proposed project will engage a consultant from the American Green Zone Alliance, who will conduct an equipment
inventory and provide a report on their recommendations for the number and type of gas equipment units to replace with batteryelectric powered alternatives,
maximizing emissions reductions within our allocated EECBG funding. Gaspowered lawn and garden equipment engines emit toxic and carcinogenic air
pollutants, particulate matter, and carbon dioxide that have negative environmental and health effects. Maintenance workers and vulnerable groups including
children, seniors, and people with preexisting health conditions are particularly susceptible to harm caused by emissions from gaspowered maintenance
equipment. Electric equipment has been shown to be a viable strategy for eliminating or substantially reducing many of these impacts. Additionally, reduction
of the high decibel level noise produced by gas landscape maintenance equipment is an ancillary benefit associated with transitioning to electric equipment. The
city will use the EECBG funds to ensure a successful transition to electric equipment, in support of Renton ’s CES and climaterelated goals.

on how to use the equipment. This ensures the equipment is operated and maintained in a way that maximizes its functionality, efficiency, and lifespan, so that
the equipment can continue to deliver benefits for years to come. Furthermore, we have designed the Landscaping Equipment Transition Pilot Project as a
pilot allowing the city to implement the program, while also learning best practices to apply as we continue to transition additional equipment in the future. By
using Renton's EECBG funds to launch the city's equipment transition as a pilot, we not only increase the chances for success when transitioning the city's
remaining maintenance equipment, but also when looking forward to broader electrification projects in the future. Ideally, this project will allow the city to
showcase positive outcomes for its stakeholders and carry forward lessons learned to ensure successful results in future projects.

8) How will your strategy support the goal that 40% of the overall benefits of certain federal investments flow to disadvantaged communities, in line with the Justice40
initiative?
The City of Renton's project supports the goal that 40% of overall benefits of certain federal investments flow to disadvantaged communities by decreasing
environmental exposures emitted by the two stroke gas engines of landscaping equipment like leaf blowers, string trimmers, saws and edgers in the neighborhoods
and parks that support Renton residents, including those in disadvantaged communities. Equipment emissions include toxic and carcinogenic air pollutants, ozone
forming chemicals, fine particulate matter, and greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide. These emissions are particularly harmful to vulnerable populations, including
children, seniors, and people with preexisting health conditions. Forty one percent of Renton residents live in a census tract with one or more disadvantaged
designations, according to the Justice40 Climate & Economic Justice Screening Tool. The roads, rightsof way and city owned properties in these census tracts
are serviced by Renton Public Works Maintenance staff and the many city parks in these tracts are maintained by Renton Parks & Recreation staff. By
transitioning the city's maintenance equipment to electric, we will reduce the harmful emissions from gaspowered equipment serving the Renton residents and
visitors who live, work and play in disadvantaged communities within the city.

Rev 2-4-25_r0
GENERAL
This Addendum #2 scope of work includes work performed out of the original scope and
for additional work requested for the Taxiway A Reconstruction / Rehabilitation and
Associated Improvements Project at the Renton Municipal Airport. The original scope of
work is summarized in Attachment 1.( Attachment 1 was submitted documentation to
the FAA and not included in this Exhibit A-2) A grant amendment request memo is
summarized in Attachment 2 ( Attachment 2 was submitted documentation to the FAA
and not included in this Exhibit A-2) and includes a background of the additional work
performed as part of this scope of work. Century West Engineering (CWE, Consultant)
has prepared the following scope of work document.
PROJECT PURPOSE, NEED & PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS
Generally, the project originally consisted of a single bid package that would be split into
two phases of construction. In the Fall of 2023, the FAA determined that the full project
improvements could not be funded as originally scoped. The Consultant was directed by
the FAA to provide alternatives for a project that could be constructed with anticipated
available FAA funds. Furthermore, the FAA directed the Consultant to split the work into
two, unique bid packages that would be bid over separate years. Work was advanced to a
100% Phase 1 bid package and a combined 90% Phase 1 & Phase 2 bid package. In
December 2024, the FAA directed the Consultant to prepare a combined Phase 1 & Phase
2 bid package that is anticipated to be bid in Spring 2025 and constructed in Summer
2026 (Phase 1) and Summer 2027 (Phase 2). See Attachment 2 for additional detail on
the timeline of the project to date and a summary of the additional out-of-scope work
items performed.
PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION ASSUMPTIONS
It is assumed FAA, WSDOT, and City standard technical specifications and City front-
end specifications will be utilized for the work. If other specifications are required, it is
assumed incorporation and effort to include will be performed under a separate scope and
fee.

CITY OF RENTON – DISASTER RECOVERY FRAMEWORK 3
1. INTRODUCTION
How the Framework Is Organized
The plan is organized into four sections.
This section, Section 1. Introduction, provides the purpose, scope, and overarching guidance
that should lead recovery efforts. This section also provides a reference guide to link the Renton
Recovery Framework with relevant legal authorities and city, county, state, and federal plans.
Section 2. 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. Recovery Support Functions details post-disaster goals and strategies in seven
separate recovery support functions (RSFs) incorporated from the National Disaster Recovery
Framework (NDRF). In adopting this framework, Renton’s recovery effort can better interface
with county, state, and federal entities if necessary.
Section 4. 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 is also included in this section.
Appendices provide greater detail about roles and responsibilities of city departments and
identify regional public, nonprofit, and private sector partners that offer programs or services
relevant to that function. Several city departments will have responsibilities that intersect with
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
and/or update its programs and procedures for disaster recovery and provide the appropriate
level of training to city staff.
Purpose
The City of Renton Disaster Recovery Framework is intended 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. To
accelerate the pace and improve the effectiveness of coordinated post-disaster recovery, the
city has outlined efforts each department will make, often partnering 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. This can include
restoration of interrupted utility services, reestablishment of transportation routes, and the
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
CITY OF RENTON – DISASTER RECOVERY FRAMEWORK 4
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.
Primary Core Capabilities
Operational
Coordination
Establish and maintain a unified and coordinated operational structure and
process that appropriately integrates all critical stakeholders and supports the
execution of core capabilities.
Situational
Assessment
Provide all decision makers with decision-relevant information regarding the
nature and extent of the hazard, any cascading effects, and the status of the
response.
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 and
Washington State.
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; stakeholders; and 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, which can
result in significant injury and loss of life and cause widespread catastrophic damage
to the built environment.
Large-scale and widespread emergencies are likely to deplete local and regional
recovery resources. Assistance from other cities and regions, the State of
Washington, and the federal government will be requested as needed.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
CITY OF RENTON – DISASTER RECOVERY FRAMEWORK 5
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 functional or access needs (such as those in wheelchairs, dependent
on routine medical services in the home or at specialized clinics, in need of
medication, deaf or hard-of-hearing, etc.), children and elderly, 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 as soon as a disaster event occurs, often concurrently 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, resource acquisition, equipment, personnel, debris management, and
infrastructure restoration.
Repair, restoration, and/or reconstruction of public infrastructure and the
resumption of essential services may take days, weeks, or even years to complete.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
CITY OF RENTON – DISASTER RECOVERY FRAMEWORK 6
Recovery Continuum
Recovery begins immediately after a disaster event occurs. Often, recovery activities happen
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.
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 1.
Exhibit 1. Disaster Recovery Continuum
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.
This document is intended as a framework to support long-term recovery only. Please see the
CEMP for guidance on short-term recovery.
Foundations of Recovery in the Response Phase
Major events may stretch disaster response resources and capabilities to the point that
decision makers are forced to prioritize certain operational actions over others. Often these
decisions and priorities impact more than just immediate life safety and property protection
issues because 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.
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 Advisory Group. Various emergency support functions in the EOC delineate
actions designed to stabilize basic human needs and to restore critical services and
infrastructure to minimal functionality.
Such actions include:
Damage assessment.
Restoration of critical infrastructure and essential services.
Health and social services.
Short-term environmental management and stabilization.
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
Operations 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 include:
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
CITY OF RENTON – DISASTER RECOVERY FRAMEWORK 8
Restoration of critical infrastructure and essential services.
Housing, health, and social services.
Economic recovery.
Long-term environmental management and restoration.
Department administrators continue to work collaboratively as a part of a recovery
management team for a united effort. State and federal assistance teams may also be deployed
to assist in local recovery efforts.
Overarching Guidance
1. The best way to ensure a successful recovery is to organize and prepare before a disaster
and to leverage community resources, including Renton’s community-based organizations
and businesses.
Regularly discuss city roles in a recovery.
Agreements should be in place, documented,
and understood for response and recovery
phases.
Recovery will require more than just the city and
other public agencies. Recruitment and
development of community resources should be
leveraged, and the Greater Renton Community
Organizations Active in Disaster (COAD) should
be prioritized.
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.
WHOLE COMMUNITY APPROACH
According to FEMA, the Whole
Community concept is “a means by
which residents, emergency
management practitioners,
organizational and community leaders,
and government officials can collectively
understand and assess the needs of their
respective communities and determine
the best ways to organize and
strengthen their assets, capacities, and
interests.”
This framework embraces this concept
with its aspiration that the entire Renton
community should be involved with and
have a voice in the disaster recovery
process.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
CITY OF RENTON – DISASTER RECOVERY FRAMEWORK 9
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 public,
private, and nonprofit partners; stakeholders; and the public at large 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 and creative jobs, as well as retail, service, and office land use that will
result in a diversified employment base. They also 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 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 wellbeing of all Renton’s residents.

City departments retain programmatic responsibility for recovery efforts under their purview.
Each department will 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 developed 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 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.

Emergency Management Division
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.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
CITY OF RENTON – DISASTER RECOVERY FRAMEWORK 12
Unless taken on directly by a recovery management team, 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 situational
awareness.
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
Emergency Management immediately.
Information collection and dissemination is
administered in the following manner (refer to Exhibit
3):
Recovery information is collected and analyzed
by Emergency Management throughout the
period of recovery or until the information
collection function is delegated by the mayor
to another department or to a recovery
management team.
All city departments will supply a standard
information package for the Recovery Status
Report, along with any other information
requests, by the submission deadline specified
by 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 Emergency Management, which determines the most
effective manner of distribution in consultation with impacted departments and the
Mayor’s Office.
RECOVERY IMPACT
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.
Timely and accurate information
helps build 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.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
CITY OF RENTON – DISASTER RECOVERY FRAMEWORK 13
The Recovery Status Report is the factual basis for all other information outputs,
including staff reports to the mayor and council, media 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
Community and Economic Development in
accordance with principles of NIMS, as outlined in
the CEMP, with input from every city department.
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, or personnel impacts.
Damage assessment for the City of Renton
will be coordinated by Community and Economic Development. King County OEM
(Office of Emergency Management) 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.
There are two primary processes for city departments to begin early damage assessment and
develop situational awareness: the Response Capability Assessment and the Initial Damage
Assessment.
Response Capability Assessment
Following an event, all city departments will 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 Community and
Economic Development to be relayed to the EOC within two hours.
Initial Damage Assessment
The Initial Damage Assessment is conducted immediately following the Response Capability
Assessment. The initial assessment is used to further determine response capabilities by
assessing response routes such as roadways and bridges. In addition to roadway assessment,
the initial assessment is used 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 initial assessment and report findings to the Renton
EOC within six hours.
This information is used to provide an initial overview of damages and impacts in Renton to the
King County EOC. All city departments with a field presence will conduct an Initial Assessment.
Preliminary Damage Assessment
In the event an incident goes beyond the normal response capabilities of the City of Renton,
and it becomes apparent that the city may be eligible for federal disaster assistance, a
Preliminary Damage Assessment (PDA) may be requested by the county or state. If requested, it
must be completed and forwarded to the King County EOC, often five days once notified.
The PDA serves to further identify the impacts to 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.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
CITY OF RENTON – DISASTER RECOVERY FRAMEWORK 15
The PDA is conducted in two parts, one for each of the two principal declaration types: public
assistance and individual assistance.
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:
Renton Regional Fire Authority and other first responders.
City staff.
Renton Responds app.
Eyewitness reports from the public.
Local media (TV, radio, newspaper, electronic, etc.).
Social media.
Volunteers.
The Renton EOC/EOC Duty Officer is the destination for information gathered through the
Response Capability Assessment, Initial Damage Assessment, and Preliminary Damage
Assessment. It is vital that the information collected through those assessments is rapidly and
PUBLIC ASSISTANCE VS INDIVIDUAL ASSISTANCE
Public Assistance Individual Assistance
Focuses on damages to public facilities and
infrastructure.
PDA information is reported by city
departments and compiled by the EOC if
activated, or by Community and Economic
Development for Emergency Management.
King County EOC compiles PDA data for all
jurisdictions within county boundaries to the
WA State EOC.
WA State compiles data into a consolidated
disaster declaration request package that
forms the basis for FEMA’s analysis to
recommend that the president make a disaster
declaration for the impacted area.
Disaster declarations apply to the geographic
county, as a whole, and they are 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.
Coordinated at the King County EOC but does
require input from city departments.
King County solicits information about
individual losses from people who report
damages via the Damage Assessment Hotline.
The county may also utilize online forms or
social media reports, or joint state/county/city
teams may tour damaged areas to ascertain
additional impacts to private property to
compile additional data to support an
individual assistance declaration by the
president.
WA State then compiles data from all
impacted counties into a consolidated disaster
declaration request package for an individual
assistance declaration.
Renton is automatically included if FEMA
recommends and the president signs an
individual assistance declaration for the
county as a whole.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
CITY OF RENTON – DISASTER RECOVERY FRAMEWORK 16
continuously relayed to the EOC. This way, analysis and sharing of damage assessment data can
occur within the EOC and 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 Initial Damage
Assessment reports from city staff as well as verifiable information as it 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 other jurisdictions and
emergency management agencies. The EOC also reports Renton’s damage information to the
King County EOC 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 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.
The Applied Technology Council – 20 (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.
SUPPLEMENTAL SUPPORT
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
Coordination Framework.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
CITY OF RENTON – DISASTER RECOVERY FRAMEWORK 17
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
Windstorms and Floods.
Administration, Finance, and Logistics
Administration and Finance
Finance is the repository for information on recovery
finance and administration, however all departments
will keep accurate records. It is very important to
document actions taken, recovery expenditures,
overtime costs, and equipment use to facilitate the
reimbursement of eligible expenses under the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) public
assistance 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 Finance, are responsible for locating, ordering, and
procuring resources. Emergency management staff will continue to coordinate resource
support if requested when the EOC is not activated.
When necessary, the EOC may request emergency resource support from the Zone 3
Coordinator, the King County EOC, 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.
FINANCE RESPONSIBILITIES
Finance is responsible for managing all
aspects of recovery finance and
procurement, including:
Tracking and reporting
expenditures.
Administering and tracking of
emergency procurement waivers
Managing special accounts for
recovery.
Assisting in administering federal
and state recovery grants.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
CITY OF RENTON – DISASTER RECOVERY FRAMEWORK 18
Requesting departments are responsible for tracking the use of supplemental resources
provided to them.
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 Communications and Director in executive
services has lead responsibility for the city’s
public information activities throughout the
recovery process. The Communications Director
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 public
information officer (PIO) within the EOC will
coordinate with the Communications Director 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 EOC JIC.
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 stakeholders and partners,
including city departmental staff, neighboring cities, King County, the State of Washington, the
Renton Regional Fire Authority, non-governmental organizations, and private sector partners.
FEMA provided technical assistance in the development of this framework.
Planning Process
The planning process involved several key steps to ensure an effective structure and approach
to restoring the community and infrastructure following a disaster. A planning team consisting

of representatives from emergency management and community and economic development
led to the revision updates and garnered key stakeholder input through interviews from public
works and parks and recreation representatives. The recovery framework was presented at two
Emergency Management Group meetings, where representatives from all city departments had
the opportunity to review the plan and provide comments and feedback while it was still in
draft form. The planning process also works to align the plan with county, state, and federal
regulations. The update process commenced in July 2022 in alignment with the Renton CEMP
review schedule. The Renton Recovery Framework will continue to be updated on a five-year
schedule to incorporate lessons learned, best practices, and community evolution.
Public Input
The City of Renton Disaster Recovery Framework was presented for public input at the Renton
Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) Public Input Fair on Friday, June 23,
2023, at Cascade Elementary School. At the same time, the public was invited to comment on
the disaster recovery framework via the city’s online platform In the Loop. Social media
platforms were utilized to enhance the reach of community members input online.
Recovery Framework Transition
The City of Renton completed a disaster recovery plan in 2012, and in 2016 restructured the
content of the plan to align with the National Disaster Recovery Framework (NDRF) and its
Recovery Support Functions (RSFs) changing the name to 2016 Disaster Recovery Framework.
This 2024 Disaster Recovery Framework is an update of the 2016 Plan and a restructure of the
content to align with the National Disaster Recovery Framework (NDRF) and its RSFs. This
update is also guided by Comprehensive Preparedness Guidance (CPG) 101 and 201 published
by FEMA.
The new framework now includes seven RSFs, while the previous version contained six RSFs.
The RSFs have been updated to align with the current seven RSF structure, using input from
stakeholder interviews, and experience of disaster recovery planning, and targeted research. In
previous version where Health and Social Services were combined as one RSF, they are now
separated into individual RSFs. 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 plan was presented to the City of Renton Emergency Management Group on August 4,
2022, and June 6, 2024, where comments and feedback were collected and incorporated into
the final framework.
Recovery Framework Maintenance
Departments will develop implementation procedures for roles and responsibilities outlined in
this disaster recovery framework. Links to procedures should be submitted to Emergency
Management for inclusion in the appendix.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
CITY OF RENTON – DISASTER RECOVERY FRAMEWORK 20
Designated departments with responsibilities outlined in the framework will 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 and/or executive services. 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 five years as part of the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan
review.
Emergency Management retains responsibility for keeping a master copy of this plan up to date
and for distributing updates to city departments.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
CITY OF RENTON – DISASTER RECOVERY FRAMEWORK 21
3. RECOVERY SUPPORT FUNCTIONS
Recovery support functions (RSFs) aim to expedite recovery of disaster-impacted residents,
families, businesses, and communities. The seven RSFs within this section organize core
recovery capabilities to facilitate problem-solving, improve access to resources, and foster
communication between the city, residents, businesses, local and neighborhood organizations,
and other stakeholders.
The seven RSF sections parallel the NDRF and include:
1. Housing: Coordinates city agency program delivery and technical assistance to local
stakeholders in support of the Housing Core Capability.
2. Economic Recovery: Integrates expertise to help local stakeholders and the private sector
sustain and/or rebuild businesses and employment and develop economic opportunities
that result in a sustainable and economically resilient community after an incident.
3. Natural, Cultural, and Historic Resources: Coordinates and facilitates programs, resources,
and technical assistance that mitigates, protects, preserves, conserves, rehabilitates, and
restores identified natural resources and protects and determines long-term recovery
treatment for artistic, cultural, and historic resources in the city, in compliance with
applicable environmental laws and executive orders following a disaster.
4. Infrastructure Systems: Facilitates the restoration of infrastructure systems and services to
support a viable, sustainable community and improves resilience to and protection from
future hazards.
5. Social Services: Outlines the roles, responsibilities, and programs of social services
organizations, including nongovernmental partners, to leverage resources in support of
restoring and enhancing social services in the city following a major disaster.

CITY OF RENTON – DISASTER RECOVERY FRAMEWORK 25
RSF 1. 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.
Decision-Making Framework
The Housing Repair Program within the Community
and Economic Development department will lead
response and partner 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, the
State of Washington, and/or the federal government.
To expand recovery abilities, the city should leverage
partner agencies and other community housing
resources (found in the Renton Guide to Social
Services).
Community and Economic Development, 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.

Recovery Goals and Strategies
4. Assess housing needs and available resources to establish a housing recovery strategy.
Ensure the damage and structural assessments of residential housing 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.
Maintain and manage assessment data throughout the recovery process to
accurately respond to local, regional, and federal requests for information.
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.
Typical housing recovery programs include temporary housing, rental/loan
assistance, repair assistance, replacement, identification and provision of accessible
housing, and disaster loans.
Communicate strategies to the public, making use of established community groups
and physical posting boards to get the word out.
2. Identify strategies to further streamline city processes to expedite housing recovery.
Strike a responsible balance between an expedited recovery process and requirements
to rebuild sustainably in accordance with all applicable codes and regulations.
Encourage rapid and appropriate decisions regarding land use and housing location in
the community.
Prepare for surge operations and/or request outside assistance to meet customer
demand for permitting, inspections, and code enforcement.
Expand city hours of operation for permitting services and deploy inspection teams
to areas in need to conduct initial damage assessments and post permit issuance
inspections.
Offer expedited application intake and plan review services for property owners
undertaking reconstruction activities.
Provide customer-friendly experience for residents while ensuring their homes are
rebuilt to code, with minimal environmental impact and greater resiliency.

materials to help rebuild smarter and safer.
Communicate applicable codes and permits, so that residents can ensure compliance
with all applicable codes and obtain all necessary permits when rebuilding and repairing
damaged property.
Help residents guard against fraud and unsafe housing conditions.
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.
Leverage existing human services assistance and discount programs.
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.
Connect homeowners with legal resources for navigating complex relationships with
banks related to mortgages, pre-foreclosure, and foreclosure.
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.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
CITY OF RENTON – DISASTER RECOVERY FRAMEWORK 28
5. Facilitate the provision of affordable, safe,
and sustainable housing for all impacted
residents.
Address available funding and
affordability in repair and reconstruction
of residential properties.
Coordinate housing recovery across
region with King County EOC for
federal monies, and with local, state,
and federal groups for gap-filling
measures.
Be proactive in exploring negotiations
with banks for temporary mortgage
relief for city residents.
Explore ways to increase the city’s
affordable housing incentives post-
disaster to maintain affordability
through new development.
Stimulate repair, reconstruction, and
redevelopment that creates safe housing
for residents.
Expand capacity and resources of
existing housing repair program to
leverage existing expertise in small repairs like roofs, furnaces, foundations, and
water heaters.
Promote hazard mitigation measures where practicable and cost-effective and/or
where required by law.
Build toward a more sustainable and resilient Renton.
Encourage development in safe zones with code compliance to barrier against future
disasters.
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.
Make use of Renton’s existing Comprehensive Plan to guide decisions around best
land use and city vision.
KEY CONSIDERATIONS
Pre-disaster housing needs should be
addressed now to position Renton for a
faster recovery post-disaster.
Renton should be prepared to expect a
delay in necessary funds for recovery.
Take into account design, construction,
labor, materials, logistics, inspection, and
financing issues.
Consider partnering with neighboring
jurisdictions and coordinating exemptions
with the appropriate government agencies
within reason.
An influx of construction contractors from
out-of-state areas to meet local demand
for rebuilding can be hard to regulate and
lead to contractor fraud.
Use technical assistance, policy, and other
available means to prevent extreme
increases in housing prices and maintaining
housing affordability within the city.
Redevelopment of large portions of
housing stock could provide opportunities
for smarter redevelopment—greener,
more vibrant neighborhoods and higher
quality housing stock.
Minimize loss of historic buildings where
possible.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
CITY OF RENTON – DISASTER RECOVERY FRAMEWORK 29
Planning Assumptions
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 jurisdictions 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 can request additional resources and program support through the King County EOC, the
State of Washington Emergency Management division, and the federal government.
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 and protecting homeowners from price gouging
or false laborers.
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
The city should plan to support the needs of the whole community and prioritize vulnerable
populations with the greatest need.
A complete and accurate assessment of physical damage to residential property is a key
determinant of occupancy and viability. The data collected may support the creation and
implementation of both interim and permanent housing strategies.
Housing recovery should be guided by the goals and values outlined in the Renton CEMP,
specifically to 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.
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
7. Community Planning and Capacity Building.)
Coordinate housing repair and reconstruction with development of infrastructure and public
services, such as water, sewer, utilities, and transit.

RSF 2. 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.
To expand its recovery abilities, the city should leverage partner agencies and local business
partners.
Decision-Making Framework
Community and Economic Development and Public Works 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, the State of
Washington, and the federal government. City
leadership will allocate staff and other resources to
regional efforts as they are 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. Community economic development and
public works can access some of this network through
Greater Renton COAD contact lists.
For specific recovery responsibilities for each city
department, see the Recovery Responsibility Tables in
the appendix.

AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
CITY OF RENTON – DISASTER RECOVERY FRAMEWORK 32
Recovery Goals and Strategies
1. Prioritize permit processes that are essential to life and safety and suspend non-
essential permitting processes to expedite recovery.
Strike a responsible balance between an expedited recovery process and
requirements to rebuild sustainably in accordance with all applicable codes and
regulations.
Provide customer-friendly experience for residents while ensuring their homes and
businesses are rebuilt to code, with minimal environmental impact and greater
resiliency.
Expand city hours of operation and send field permitting and inspection teams to
damaged areas.
Offer one-stop review and permitting services for property owners undertaking
reconstruction activities.
2. Encourage property owners to investigate contractors and provide tools to ensure
compliance with licensing requirements and prevent fraud.
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.
City staff and project managers may search for debarred and excluded
companies at www.sam.gov.
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.
Reach out to large employers to understand what is necessary to keep them in
business.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
CITY OF RENTON – DISASTER RECOVERY FRAMEWORK 33
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.
After a disaster, SBA can make
recovery loan tools available to
small businesses and to
homeowners under the
appropriate disaster declaration.
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.
Set up or coordinate childcare in
recreation areas, schools, and community centers.
Partner with the YMCA and other nonprofits in advance and develop MOUs to
provide childcare services in recovery.
Encourage major employers and school districts to provide term-limited, in-
house childcare to facilitate economic recovery.
5. Seek out opportunities to diversify Renton’s industry portfolio.
Expand the industry portfolio to ensure economic resiliency into the future.
KEY CONSIDERATIONS
It is unlikely that the city will be able to
access an infusion of capital to jumpstart
the economy without state or federal
assistance.
Renton 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.
Any major damage to State Routes 167 or
169 and/or Interstates 5 or 405 would
significantly impair the ability 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 school districts: Renton,
Issaquah, and Kent. School districts are
major land and property owners within the
city limits.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
CITY OF RENTON – DISASTER RECOVERY FRAMEWORK 34
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.
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 health care. Once the community is
stable the city can move forward to stabilize major employers to get residents back into jobs.
Restoring utilities—including internet and cellular phones—is necessary to keep major
employers, especially businesses in aerospace, technology, food processing, and manufacturing.
Bringing working water, wastewater, and electricity systems to major employers should be a
priority during recovery.
Restoring childcare and schools is essential to economic recovery so that workers with children
can return to work.
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.
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.
The city will provide outreach to small businesses to let them know of available assistance during
recovery.
Economic recovery should be guided by the sustainability and resiliency goals described in the
Renton CEMP, specifically the desire to build a diverse economic industry base in areas of
aerospace, health care, and creative industries (high-tech, design, software, local artesian,
gaming, architecture, etc.).

RSF 3. Natural, Cultural, and Historic Resources
The purpose of the Natural, Cultural, and Historic Resources RSF to the City of Renton Disaster
Recovery Framework is to guide actions to address post-disaster environmental issues that may
impact recovery and to bring together resources to address the preservation of natural,
cultural, and historic resources. Adverse environmental impacts are likely to result from 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.
Cultural and historic resources may be comprised of buildings, sites, structures, objects,
landscapes, and traditional cultural places that are eligible for the National Register of Historic
Places and/or have attained a local designation as historically significant. Natural resources
may be comprised of waterways, wetlands, floodplains, reservoirs, habitat, forests, and other
environmental resources.
This RSF establishes a framework for identifying and evaluating post-disaster environmental
impacts and for developing strategies to work cooperatively to resolve those impacts. It
recognizes that natural, cultural, and historic resources are essential to high quality of life,
strong community identity, and preserving culture and history to pass along to future
generations. Preservation planning and preparation may ensure community character is
preserved by preventing unnecessary demolition or loss of resources.
In addition, the Natural, Cultural, and Historic 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 framework 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.
Decision-Making Framework
In most cases, more than one department will have a role in environmental cleanup and
historic preservation and remediation.
With support from the Renton EOC, other city departments, and private sector resources, the
Parks and Recreation department will lead the coordination of natural, cultural, and historic
SUPPORT CORE CAPABILITIES FOR RSF 3

preservation actions as described under Emergency Support Function (ESF 11): Agriculture and
Natural Resources. Long-term natural, cultural, and historic recovery may implement technical
resources for restoration and protection, mitigation actions, and financial resources for repairs
or rehabilitation.
Renton Regional Fire Authority, with support from the Renton EOC, regional fire departments,
and private sector resources, 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 ESF 10:
Oil and Hazardous Materials 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.
Public Works manages environmental consequences
to critical infrastructure (transportation, water, etc.),
often with support from the Renton Regional Fire
Authority and the EOC. Public Works also tests for
safety of drinking water and manages the permitting
processes for capital improvements and infrastructure
restoration projects.
Community and Economic Development 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 and King County, the Washington State
Department of Ecology, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and others.
For specific recovery responsibilities for each city department, see the Recovery Responsibility
Tables in the appendix.
Recovery Goals and Strategies
The City of Renton addresses natural, cultural, and historic recovery through support of the
following coordinated activities:
1. Support the rapid and accurate assessment of properties, cultural facilities, and other
sites of natural, cultural, tribal, or historic significance.
Compile findings into a natural, cultural, and historical significance report.

2. Ensure the collection, storage, and safe keeping of records, artifacts, artworks, and
natural, cultural, and history items of significance.
Convene necessary resources and technical assistance to mitigate, preserve,
stabilize, and protect natural, cultural, and historic resources of significance.
Environmental consequences or damages are addressed 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.
Airborne contamination.
Agricultural runoff.
Damage to wetlands or riparian habitats.
Impacts to threatened and endangered species.
3. Ensure environmental impacts are considered in city projects and/or activities. These
activities may include:
Debris management.
Repairs and reconstruction.
New construction and redevelopment.
Project work in waterways, wetlands, floodplains, or other environmentally
sensitive areas.
Environmental considerations may include:
Hazardous materials.
Air quality.
Water quality.
Endangered species.
4. Ensure compliance with federal environmental and historic grant programs.
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.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
CITY OF RENTON – DISASTER RECOVERY FRAMEWORK 38
FEMA or Washington State Emergency Management Division 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.
Planning Assumptions
The Puget Sound region is vulnerable to natural and man-made hazards, including acts of
terrorism, which can result in significant damage to the city’s natural environment, artistic,
cultural, and historic resources and create the potential for large volumes of debris over a
widespread area.
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 habitats. The damage may adversely impact the quality of air and drinking water.
Availability and access to technical and financial resources to repair or rehabilitate damaged
natural, cultural, and historic resources may be challenging.
Large-scale emergencies are likely to deplete local and regional recovery resources. Assistance
from other cities, regions, the State of Washington, and the federal government will be
requested as needed.
Staging and storage areas for cultural and historic inventory may need to be identified.
Preservation supplies for cultural and historic inventory may be difficult to procure in an
emergency.
Trained staff and/or volunteers that handle cultural and historic inventory may be needed to
lead repairs and conduct damage assessments
Environmental contamination may create dangers to the health and safety of the public as well
as to emergency responders and other city staff and may impede the progress of community
recovery.
Documented local collections of cultural and historic inventory and records may be inaccurate or
out of date at the time of a disaster.

redevelopment comply with local, state, tribal, and federal environmental regulations.
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 historic and natural resources. Prioritize their
preservation once human life, health, and safety issues have been addressed.
Preservation of natural, historic, and cultural resources are part of an overall community
recovery that is achieved through the coordinated efforts of the recovery team, resource
experts, and community input.

RSF 4. Infrastructure Systems
The purpose of the Public Infrastructure Restoration RSF to the City of Renton Disaster
Recovery Framework 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 Framework as a whole, applies to all city departments and
provides an operational framework to guide coordinated infrastructure restoration efforts. The
RSF supports and integrates state, federal, and private utility plans and programs that aid in
recovery operations.
Decision-Making Framework
Public Works 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.
Executive services is the lead department 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, the State of
Washington, and the federal government. City
leadership will allocate staff and other resources to
regional efforts as able.
The mayor may appoint community leaders and
stakeholders to a 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.

Infrastructure System Responsibilities
The following are basic responsibilities of Renton city departments for restoring infrastructure
and essential services. 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 NIMS as outlined 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.
For specific recovery responsibilities for each city department, see the Recovery Responsibility
Tables in the appendix.
Recovery Goals and Strategies
1. Restore infrastructure (e.g., transportation, energy, sewer, communications) and
essential services that civil society cannot operate without.
Almost every aspect of recovery is dependent on at least one of the infrastructure
systems below:
Transportation systems (roadways, rail, mass transit, airport)
Energy systems (electric transmission lines, natural gas lines, fuel pipelines, fuel
storage facilities)
Water system (water treatment facilities, water storage facilities, wellheads,
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)
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
CITY OF RENTON – DISASTER RECOVERY FRAMEWORK 42
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.
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.
2. Provide continuity of governmental services through functional government facilities.
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.
Other restoration priorities may include providing emergency aid to isolated
communities or allowing the flow of emergency goods and services.
KEY CONSIDERATIONS
Many aspects of disaster recovery are
dependent on the restoration of
infrastructure 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.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
CITY OF RENTON – DISASTER RECOVERY FRAMEWORK 43
3. Coordinate debris management.
The Debris Management Coordinator identified in the Renton Annex to the King
County Regional Debris Management Plan will lead Renton’s debris management
efforts.
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 EOC and the King County Solid Waste division. Local
debris management efforts are managed through the Renton Annex to the King
County Regional Debris Management Plan.
DEBRIS MANAGEMENT PHASES
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 debris is the separation of various waste and debris types and their
preparation for disposal. Different types of disaster debris may be governed by different rules and
authorities. Construction and demolition debris is handled differently than 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.
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 such as King County Solid
Waste division.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
CITY OF RENTON – DISASTER RECOVERY FRAMEWORK 44
Planning Assumptions
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.
Disaster debris may impede the efforts of emergency responders, create dangers to the health
and safety of the public as well as that of emergency responders and other city staff, or 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 disaster event and from the demolition of damaged structures
may require temporary storage, and permanent processing and disposal of large volumes of
disaster debris may take months or even years to complete.
Contaminated debris from a disaster event can have long-term negative environmental impacts
and therefore trigger additional disposal considerations.
Residents and business owners will want to have keepsake possessions identified and returned
versus being disposed of.
Guiding Principles
Restoration of communication and transportation infrastructure is vital to recovery
operations.
Disaster debris management is a high priority.
A navigable and functioning airport is essential to recovery operations.
The King County EOC is the central coordination point for regional debris management
efforts. The Renton EOC provides support for coordination between city and regional
activities.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
CITY OF RENTON – DISASTER RECOVERY FRAMEWORK 45
A complete and accurate assessment of physical damages to public infrastructure and
facilities and of interruptions to essential services is critical to informing an effective
prioritization of recovery actions.
City departments will develop procedures and provide appropriate training to staff with
designated roles and responsibilities in this RSF.

RSF 5. Social Services
The purpose of the 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 (CBO) and other jurisdictions at the local, state,
and federal levels. The RSF supports and integrates other plans and programs that aid in
recovery operations.
Decision-Making Framework
The Parks and Recreation Administrator provides oversight of human service delivery efforts in
accordance with the mayor’s policy direction. The Emergency Management Director oversees
coordination support for citywide human service delivery efforts from the Renton EOC, when
activated, in accordance with the mayor’s policy
direction. The Emergency Management Director
also coordinates with the King County EOC on
regional human service delivery efforts.
A large-scale event that overwhelms the city’s
capability to meet basic human needs will require
regional collaboration through the King County EOC
or through other regionalized humanitarian and
mass care efforts. City leadership will provide staff
and resource support to these efforts as able.

The city currently has no data on residents
requiring oxygen and/or dialysis.
People in Renton are likely to be impacted
by lack of food and water and disruption of
community support services.
Longer-term basic needs will continue to be
identified and addressed throughout
recovery, sometimes for months or years
after an event.
Damage to human service facilities or to the
infrastructure that supports their
operations may inhibit effective service
delivery for human needs.
Many community-based organizations that
provide most of the direct human service
programs crucial to recovery efforts
participate in the Greater Renton COAD
which helps provide goods and services in a
disaster.
Survivors with access or functional needs
and lower-income disaster survivors
present specialized challenges in recovery
efforts.
The public will seek opportunities to donate
or volunteer to assist with recovery
efforts.
The Renton EOC will request support and
assistance to meet basic human needs from
other cities/regions, King County, the State
of Washington, and the federal government
as needed.
Mobility barriers, such as lack of safe
pedestrian pathways or accommodation for
those living with disabilities, may prevent
individuals and families from accessing
services during recovery.

2. Complete an assessment of community social service needs and coordinate needed
capabilities.
The City of Renton has limited capabilities to address human needs in a large-
scale disaster.
The EOC may be utilized to request additional resource and program support
through the King County EOC and Washington State EOC.
Medical services beyond emergency first aid may need to be coordinated for
administration by Northwest Healthcare Response Network.
3. Match agencies and non-governmental organizations to needed capabilities that
support the restoration of community services.
Utilize the Community Resources section to provide disaster services and other
community resources to impacted populations.
Planning Assumptions
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 may 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 on
public health.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
CITY OF RENTON – DISASTER RECOVERY FRAMEWORK 49
Guiding Principles
Case managers and counseling will be necessary. Most people will get housing and food if they
can, but they will need help to manage medications and counseling.
Residents rely on an effective and equitable human services delivery system to meet their basic
physical, economic, and social needs.
A comprehensive range of services will be needed in recovery. Invest in building the capacity and
partnerships with local, state, and federal agencies, non-profit organizations, and community-
based organizations will be essential.
Multiple communication channels should be used to reach diverse populations to inform of
available resources and assistance programs.
Proactively identify and eliminate barriers to access for marginalized or underserved
populations. Ensure recovery resources are distributed equitably, considering the
disproportionate impacts of disasters.
Ensure that recovery programs and services are culturally sensitive by working with community
leaders to tailor support that aligns with cultural values and practices.

RSF 6. Health Services
The purpose of the Health Services RSF to the City of Renton Disaster Recovery Framework is to
establish a coordinated approach among health care, behavioral health care, education,
nonprofit, and social services partners to leverage resources in support of restoring public
health care and medical services.
This RSF defines the roles and responsibilities of entities involved in the delivery of the health
services component of the Health and Social Services recovery core capability in the recovery
mission area. The Health Services RSF focuses on the restoration of public health and health
care services and works in conjunction with the Social Services RSF to address the Health and
Social Services recovery core capability.
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 CBOs and jurisdictions at the local, state, and federal levels. The RSF supports and
integrates other plans and programs that aid in recovery operations.
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 EOC or through other regionalized
humanitarian and mass care efforts. City leadership will provide staff and resource support to
these efforts as able.
The Renton Regional Fire Authority leads the delivery
of emergency medical support efforts for the City of
Renton. The City of Renton emergency management
division provides coordination of information and
resources through the Renton EOC in accordance with
the mayor’s policy direction. The Renton EOC may
coordinate with Valley Medical Center and the King
County EOC on regional delivery of public health and
medical services.
For specific recovery responsibilities for each city
department, see the Recovery Responsibility Tables in the appendix.

CITY OF RENTON – DISASTER RECOVERY FRAMEWORK 51
Recovery Goals and Strategies
Public health and medical impacts in a disaster
may include physical trauma or injuries,
hygiene and spread of disease, contaminated
water for drinking or sewer systems, and
emotional trauma. A key element of disaster
recovery for the City of Renton is the delivery
of robust public health and medical services or
programs designed to alleviate these impacts
and promote a healthy community.
Short-term recovery begins concurrently with
response activities; this RSF addresses
immediate needs as well as long-term
recovery needs as described below.
1. Assess public health and medical
needs to develop a comprehensive
restoration of basic health service
functions.
Develop a timeline by identifying
critical health care needs for both
short-term and long-term care.
2. Assess healthcare infrastructure and service disruptions to patient care.
Identify stakeholder roles and responsibilities to support the restoration of health
care services.
Develop interim and/or alternative health care solutions.
Consider the following services: Public Health (infectious disease control, sanitation
and hygiene), special needs populations (children, elderly, those with disabilities),
and those with medical dependencies (chronic illnesses, blood transfusions, insulin,
etc.).
3. Assess behavioral health needs in the impacted community.
Determine impacts to behavioral health systems capacity.
Engage with behavioral health partners to support impacted communities.
Consider services such as crisis and grief counseling.
4. Assess environmental health and safety risks and impacts to public health.
KEY CONSIDERATIONS
People in Renton are likely to be impacted by
lack of food and water and disruption of
medical and health care services.
Long-term public health and medical needs
will continue to be identified and addressed
throughout recovery, sometimes for months
or years after an event.
Secondary impacts of damaged infrastructure
may include power outages, the loss of
potable water, interrupted food and
medicine distribution, and exposure to
hazardous materials.
Damage to facilities infrastructure may
inhibit effective service delivery for critical
medical needs.
Survivors with access or functional needs and
lower- income disaster survivors present
specialized challenges in recovery efforts.
Mobility barriers, such as lack of safe
pedestrian pathways or accommodation for
those living with disabilities, may prevent
individuals and families from accessing
services during recovery.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
CITY OF RENTON – DISASTER RECOVERY FRAMEWORK 52
Ensure proper Personal Protective Equipment appropriate to the incident is
procured and distributed to responding personnel.
Mitigate environmental impacts to public health and communities.
The City of Renton has limited capabilities to address community health needs in a large-scale
disaster. The EOC requests additional resources and program support through the King County
EOC 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 and 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, 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.
Planning Assumptions
Events of regional, statewide, or national significance may require cross-jurisdictional
cooperation in recovery efforts such as providing medical and behavioral health services,
ensuring food and drinking water safety, and restoring medical infrastructure such as
hospitals and clinics.
Environmental damage to the natural or built environment may have far-reaching impacts on
public health and health care systems.
The public will need post-disaster assistance and may require counseling, medications, and/or
prescriptions. Case managers and medical professionals will be needed to address this need.
Residents rely on an effective and equitable human services delivery system to meet their
basic physical, economic, and social needs.
Residents require a robust public health system to support everyday livelihoods and a thriving
community.
Guiding Principles
Ensure health services are accessible to all individuals, regardless of income, age, disability,
language, or geographic location.
City departments will develop procedures and provide appropriate training to staff with
designated roles and responsibilities in this RSF.
Foster strong partnerships with public health agencies, private healthcare providers, emergency
medical services, and community health organizations to meet the needs of the community after
a disaster.

RSF 7. 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.
Decision-Making Framework
Community planning and capacity building will be coordinated by the Executive Services
Department, with input from the Mayor’s Inclusion Task Force, the Equity Commission,
Community and Economic Development Department, and all other city departments.
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 recovery responsibilities for each city
department, see the Recovery Responsibility Tables in
the appendix.
Recovery Goals and Strategies
1. Mobilize local organizations, faith-based and
neighborhood groups, and major employers
to be active players in recovery.
Identify and inventory groups and resources needed for coordination in a recovery
effort.
COMMUNITY RESOURCES

but are not necessarily formal partners.)

AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
CITY OF RENTON – DISASTER RECOVERY FRAMEWORK 55
Engagement of significant segments of the population with members who speak
English less than very well may be a challenge. Although there are over 90
languages spoken in Renton, the Renton Annex to the King County Inclusive
Emergency Communications Plan defines significant limited English proficiency
communities in Renton as Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese (Mandarin and
Cantonese), Russian, Ukrainian, and other Slavic languages. Other language
communities, even if they speak English well, may require special outreach to
engage them.
Faith-based facilities may serve as locations to coordinate with community
leaders and neighborhood groups.
Leverage community leaders in the Mayor’s Inclusion Task Force and local groups for
communications and on-the-ground neighborhood assessments and status updates.
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.
Reach out and provide support to Renton community-based organizations (CBOs).
CBOs are critical to productive community engagement before, during, and after a
disaster.
2. Ensure an effective procurement and processing system during recovery by setting up
MOUs with local service providers as part of recovery planning.
Identify and inventory the critical services that will require support and funding
throughout responses and recovery. Food banks such as Northwest Harvest will
require funds to maintain services, especially when there is greater demand.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
CITY OF RENTON – DISASTER RECOVERY FRAMEWORK 56
3. Use a variety of materials, methods, and
access sites to communicate recovery
efforts to the entire community.
Renton is a diverse community with
geographic constraints. The city
should utilize existing points of
contact with residents to share
information and build capacity after a
disaster.
Possible access sites include:
Religious facilities.
Summer Meals Program 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.
To be successful in receiving and
managing funds, the city should
coordinate and align requests.
The city may choose to support
one or more local, non-
governmental groups to lead the
management of donated funds.
Boeing, Walmart, and PACCAR all have a local presence in Renton and large
foundations. Past city experience of applying for funds from these organizations
has been a complex process, which may be necessary in recovery.
5. Support the orderly management of private donations and volunteer resources.
Encourage cash donations over donated goods in a disaster because cash allows for
immediate and flexible use, enabling relief organizations to purchase exactly what is
needed, when and where it's needed. This approach reduces logistical challenges,
such as sorting, storing, and transporting physical goods, and helps support local
economies by purchasing supplies from local vendors. Cash donations ensure that
resources are allocated efficiently and can be adapted quickly to changing needs.
However, a mechanism will be necessary to determine priorities in disbursement.
KEY CONSIDERATIONS
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.
The city can encourage recovery functions
and capacity building for local nonprofit
organizations by engaging in partner
organizations’ strategic planning.
Many communities in Renton are not
defined by geography but rather race,
ethnicity, religion, or social experience.
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, may
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.
Churches are critical to outreach to elderly
and Limited English Proficiency (LEP)
communities in Renton.
Libraries can play crucial roles in helping
their communities prepare for and
respond to a disaster or emergency.
Renton could reach out to cities that have
experienced disasters to learn from their
successes and mistakes.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
CITY OF RENTON – DISASTER RECOVERY FRAMEWORK 57
Encourage and facilitate creative fundraising, especially with social media and
crowdsourcing platforms.
Service groups like Renton Rotary may have rapid resource funds to tap into
while waiting for federal and state assistance.
Renton may be able to leverage its connections with the Seattle Seahawks and
Seattle Sounders and their large fan bases to bring volunteers and flexible funds
to the recovery process.
The Renton Regional Community Foundation has expertise in receiving funds on
behalf of specific charitable projects. They may be considered as a resource to
manage the intake of funds to benefit disaster survivors or address other
community needs.
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.
The level and method of community planning and engagement will depend on the impact and
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 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
Inclusion and coordination of community organizations during recovery will maximize the
efficiency of participating organizations, prevent duplication of services, and speed up recovery.
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.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. a)
CITY OF RENTON – DISASTER RECOVERY FRAMEWORK 58
City departments will develop internal procedures and provide appropriate training to staff with
roles and responsibilities designated in this RSF. City departments may also work with local
organizations and community groups to build capacity for disaster recovery efforts.
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.
Simplicity is key. Streamlining processes and procedures for help during recovery will build
community buy-in for city recovery activities.
