Mayor Pavone opened the public hearing to consider the acquisition of King County Parcel
1723059026, utilizing the city's powers of eminent domain.
Economic Development Director Amanda Free reported that the parcel is in the vicinity of the
Maple Valley Highway and Cedar Park Drive N and was identified in the Tri-Park Master Plan
in 2006. She remarked that it was also included as a potential acquisition in the 2011 and
2020 Parks, Recreation and Natural Areas Plan as it would expand the city's park property
located adjacent to the parcel. Ms. Free noted that the site is 12.54 acres, its historical use
was Stoneway Sand and Gravel who now uses it to store equipment, and that a 2019 land use
application for an apartment building was approved but due to market conditions was
dropped in 2022. Concluding Ms. Free noted that the use of eminent domain was requested
by the property owners.
Community and Economic Development Administrator Gina Estep remarked that an
agreement on the purchase price is highly likely, but if no agreement can be reached the
department would return to a future Council meeting to discuss next steps.

AGREEMENT FOR ALTERNATE RESPONSE SERVICES
THIS AGREEMENT, dated for reference purposes only as July 31, 2025, is by and between
the City of Renton (the “City”), a Washington municipal corporation, and Project Be Free,
NPC (“Consultant”), a nonprofit Washington Corporation, principally located at 306 Wells
Ave S, Unit D, Renton WA 98057. The City and the Consultant are referred to collectively in
this Agreement as the “Parties.” Once fully executed by the Parties, this Agreement is
effective as of the last date signed by both parties.
1. Scope of Work: Consultant agrees to provide co-response services for domestic
violence and/or mental health calls for service as specified in Exhibit A, which is
attached and incorporated herein and may hereinafter be referred to as the “Work.”
2. Changes in Scope of Work: The City, without invalidating this Agreement, may order
changes to the Work consisting of additions, deletions or modifications. Any such
changes to the Work shall be ordered by the City in writing and the Compensation
shall be equitably adjusted consistent with the rates set forth in Exhibit A or as
otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties.
3. Time of Performance: Consultant shall commence performance of the Agreement
pursuant to the schedule(s) set forth in Exhibit A. All Work shall be performed by no
later than December 31, 2026.
4. Compensation:
A. Amount. Total compensation to Consultant for Work provided pursuant to this
Agreement shall not exceed $277,500.00, plus any applicable state and local
sales taxes. Compensation shall be paid based upon Work actually performed
according to the rate(s) or amounts specified in Exhibit A. The Consultant agrees
that any hourly or flat rate charged by it for its Work shall remain locked at the
negotiated rate(s) unless otherwise agreed to in writing or provided in Exhibit A.
Except as specifically provided herein, the Consultant shall be solely responsible
for payment of any taxes imposed as a result of the performance and payment of
this Agreement.

been performed, the name of the personnel performing such Work, and any
hourly labor charge rate for such personnel. The Consultant shall also submit a
final bill upon completion of all Work. Payment shall be made by the City for Work
performed within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt and approval by the
appropriate City representative of the voucher or invoice. If the Consultant’s
performance does not meet the requirements of this Agreement, the Consultant
will correct or modify its performance to comply with the Agreement. The City may
withhold payment for work that does not meet the requirements of this
Agreement.
C. Effect of Payment. Payment for any part of the Work shall not constitute a waiver
by the City of any remedies it may have against the Consultant for failure of the
Consultant to perform the Work or for any breach of this Agreement by the
Consultant.
D. Non-Appropriation of Funds. If sufficient funds are not appropriated or allocated
for payment under this Agreement for any future fiscal period, the City shall not
be obligated to make payments for Work or amounts incurred after the end of the
current fiscal period, and this Agreement will terminate upon the completion of
all remaining Work for which funds are allocated. No penalty or expense shall
accrue to the City in the event this provision applies.
5. Termination:
A. The City reserves the right to terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without
cause by giving ten (10) calendar days’ notice to the Consultant in writing. In the
event of such termination or suspension, all finished or unfinished documents,
data, studies, worksheets, models and reports, or other material prepared by the
Consultant pursuant to this Agreement shall be submitted to the City, if any are
required as part of the Work.
B. In the event this Agreement is terminated by the City, the Consultant shall be
entitled to payment for all hours worked to the effective date of termination, less
all payments previously made. If the Agreement is terminated by the City after
partial performance of Work for which the agreed compensation is a fixed fee, the
City shall pay the Consultant an equitable share of the fixed fee. 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
Consultant. No payment shall be made by the City for any expenses incurred or
work done following the effective date of termination unless authorized in
advance in writing by the City.

6. Warranties And Right To Use Work Product: Consultant represents and warrants
that Consultant will perform all Work identified in this Agreement in a professional
and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all reasonable and professional

guidelines (e.g. design criteria and Standard Plans for Road, Bridge and Municipal
Construction). Professional engineers shall certify engineering plans, specifications,
plats, and reports, as applicable, pursuant to RCW 18.43.070. Consultant further

from any intellectual property encumbrance which would restrict the City from using
the work product. Consultant grants to the City a non-exclusive, perpetual right and
license to use, reproduce, distribute, adapt, modify, and display all final work
product produced pursuant to this Agreement. The City’s or other’s adaptation,
modification or use of the final work products other than for the purposes of this
Agreement shall be without liability to the Consultant. The provisions of this section
shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
7. Record Maintenance: The Consultant shall maintain accounts and records, which
properly reflect all direct and indirect costs expended and Work 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 Consultant 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.
8. Public Records Compliance: To the full extent the City determines necessary to
comply with the Washington State Public Records Act, Consultant shall make a due
diligent search of all records in its possession or control relating to this Agreement
and the Work, 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 Consultant believes said records need to be protected
from disclosure, it may, at Consultant’s own expense, seek judicial protection.
Consultant shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City for all costs,
including attorneys’ fees, attendant to any claim or litigation related to a Public
Records Act request for which Consultant has responsive records and for which
Consultant has withheld records or information contained therein, or not provided
them to the City in a timely manner. Consultant shall produce for distribution any and
all records responsive to the Public Records Act request in a timely manner, unless
AGENDA ITEM #5. b)
PAGE 4 OF 13
those records are protected by court order. The provisions of this section shall
survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
9. Independent Contractor Relationship:
A. The Consultant 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 Consultant
and the City during the period of the Work shall be that of an independent
contractor, not employee. The Consultant, not the City, shall have the power to
control and direct the details, manner or means of Work. Specifically, but not by
means of limitation, the Consultant shall have no obligation to work any
particular hours or particular schedule, unless otherwise indicated in the Scope
of Work or where scheduling of attendance or performance is mutually arranged
due to the nature of the Work. Consultant shall retain the right to designate the
means of performing the Work covered by this agreement, and the Consultant
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 Consultant 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
Consultant or any employee of the Consultant.
C. If Consultant is a sole proprietorship or if this Agreement is with an individual,
Consultant agrees to notify the City and complete any required form if Consultant
retired under a State of Washington retirement system and agrees to indemnify
any losses the City may sustain through the Consultant’s failure to do so.
10. Hold Harmless: The Consultant 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
Consultant in its performance of this Agreement or a breach of this Agreement by

EXHIBIT B-2
DBE PARTICIPATION PLAN
CONTRACT: CAG-20-003
PROJECT: HOUSER WAY BRIDGE – SEISMIC RETROFIT AND PAINTING
CONSULTANT: SARGENT ENGINEERS, INC.
In the absence of a mandatory DBE goal (or UDBE goal), a voluntary SBE goal amount of ten percent of
the Consultant Agreement is established. The Consultant shall develop a SBE Participation Plan prior to
commencing work. Although the goal is voluntary, the outreach efforts to provide SBE maximum
practicable opportunities are not.
Background:
A mandatory UDBE goal of 9% was established for this contract by WSDOT in July 2019.
The contract is being implemented in design phases. The original contract, executed April 2020, included
scope and budget for Design Phase 1 – Preliminary Studies and Survey with a maximum amount payable
of $99,906. The UDBE subconsultant, 1 Alliance Geomatics (Cert #: D4M0022928) was tasked with
performing a basemap survey for an estimated budget of $40,821 or 41% of the total contract amount.
AGENCY received final UDBE subconsultant deliverables in November 2020. UDBE on-site interview form
submitted to WSDOT Local Programs in June 2020.
UDBE subconsultant acquired in March 2022 and is no longer a qualified UDBE or DBE.
Supplemental Agreement No. 1, executed August 2024, included scope and budget for Design Phase 2 –
Preliminary Design and Environmental Support and increased the maximum amount payable by $48,613
from $99,906 to $148,519. No new tasks for qualified UDBE subconsultants included in that supplement.
Supplemental Agreement No. 2:
Supplemental Agreement No. 2 includes scope and budget for Design Phase 3 – Final Design, Bid Package
Preparation, Bid Support and Design Phase 4 – Engineering Support During Construction increasing the
maximum amount payable by $224,790 from $148,519 to $373,309. No new tasks for qualified UDBE
subconsultants are included in the supplement. Therefore, the estimated total budget assigned to UDBE
subconsultant remains $40,821 which will become 11% of the total contract amount upon execution of
this supplement.

decide to visit the site and observe the construction progress. It is assumed that this may occur
immediately following the weekly meeting. Estimate 6 site visits.
Specific site visits requested by the AGENCY ‐ The CONSULTANT may be asked by the AGENCY to
perform specific site visits to observe and discuss specific issue(s) raised by the Contractor during
construction. This request will most likely occur at a weekly meeting, if at all. Upon completion of
the site visit, the CONSULTANT will prepare and provide a record of the site visit to the AGENCY.
This record should address who (who conducted the site visit), what (issue to be observed and/or
AGENDA ITEM #5. f)

DBE PARTICIPATION PLAN
CONTRACT: CAG‐20‐004
PROJECT: WILLIAMS AVE BRIDGE – SEISMIC RETROFIT AND PAINTING
CONSULTANT: SARGENT ENGINEERS, INC.
In the absence of a mandatory DBE goal (or UDBE goal), a voluntary SBE goal amount of ten percent of
the Consultant Agreement is established. The Consultant shall develop a SBE Participation Plan prior to
commencing work. Although the goal is voluntary, the outreach efforts to provide SBE maximum
practicable opportunities are not.
Background:
A mandatory UDBE goal of 9% was established for this contract by WSDOT in July 2019.
The contract is being implemented in design phases. The original contract, executed April 2020, included
scope and budget for Design Phase 1 – Preliminary Studies and Survey with a maximum amount payable
of $99,866. The UDBE subconsultant, 1 Alliance Geomatics (Cert #: D4M0022928) was tasked with
performing a basemap survey for an estimated budget of $40,821 or 41% of the total contract amount.
AGENCY received final UDBE subconsultant deliverables in November 2020. UDBE on‐site interview form
submitted to WSDOT Local Programs in June 2020.
UDBE subconsultant acquired in March 2022 and is no longer a qualified UDBE or DBE.
Supplemental Agreement No. 1, executed August 2024, included scope and budget for Design Phase 2 –
Preliminary Design and Environmental Support and increased the maximum amount payable by $48,613
from $99,866 to $148,479. No new tasks for qualified UDBE subconsultants included in that supplement.
Supplemental Agreement No. 2:
Supplemental Agreement No. 2 includes scope and budget for Design Phase 3 – Final Design, Bid Package
Preparation, Bid Support and Design Phase 4 – Engineering Support During Construction increasing the
maximum amount payable by $224,790 from $148,479 to $373,269. No new tasks for qualified UDBE
subconsultants are included in the supplement. Therefore, the estimated total budget assigned to UDBE
subconsultant remains $40,821 which will become 11% of the total contract amount upon execution of
this supplement.

City Council Regular Meeting - 28 Jul 2025
SUBJECT/TITLE: 2026-2035 Interlocal Agreements with WRIA 8 and WRIA 9
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Refer to Utilities Committee
DEPARTMENT: Public Works Utility Systems Division
STAFF CONTACT: Kristina Lowthian, Surface Water Utility Engineer
EXT.: 7249
FISCAL IMPACT SUMMARY:
Each jurisdiction’s share of the funding for the Water Resource Inventory Area (WRIA) 8 and WRIA 9 Interlocal
Agreements (ILAs) is based on the average of the jurisdiction’s population, assessed value, and area within the
WRIA. The funding for future years will be recalculated every three years or when a significant annexation
occurs. Renton’s cost share allocations for WRIA 8 and 9 in the 2016-2025 ILAs are 3.21% ($24,382.00) and
3.82% ($22,170.00) of the administrative and staffing costs, respectively for a total of $46,552.00. The Surface
Water Utility includes funding for the WRIA 8 and WRIA 9 ILAs in the Fund 407 operating budget during every
biannual budget. Future budget increases resulting from increased expenses will be handled as part of future
budget adjustments. The 2026 cost shares are not available as the execution of the 2026-2035 ILAs precedes
the approval of the 2026 budgets for each WRIA. No significant changes in cost allocations between partners
are expected. Increases every few years are expected as a result of inflation and increases in operational costs
for the WRIAs. Such increases have typically been less than 3%. Based on historical precedent, no substantial
annual increases are anticipated.
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The Water Resource Inventory Area (WRIA) 8 Chinook Salmon Conservation Plan and the WRIA 9 Salmon
Habitat Plan were completed and ratified by the City in accordance with the interlocal agreements prepared
(CAG-01-004 and CAG-01-005) in July and October of 2005. The plans were prepared and approved in
coordination with a total of 27 jurisdictions in WRIA 8 (Lake Washington/Cedar/Sammamish basins) and 17
jurisdictions within WRIA 9 (Green/Duwamish/Central Puget Sound basins). The plans were produced over a 5-
year period (2001–2005) by the WRIA 8 and WRIA 9 Steering Committees, which included representative
stakeholder groups including cities, counties, environmental groups, business groups, state agencies and
citizens. In 2006 and 2015, Renton and all member jurisdictions approved extensions to the interlocal
agreements to fund the staff, coordination, and other resources associated with implementing the actions,
projects and activities recommended in the ratified WRIA 8 Chinook Salmon Conservation Plan and WRIA 9
Salmon Habitat Plan.
The 2016-2025 interlocal agreements funded resources needed to obtain Salmon Recovery Funding Board
grants and used WRIA designated King Conservation District and King County Flood Control District
Cooperative Watershed Management grant funding to implement habitat restoration and protection projects
and other ongoing activities.
With the current 2016-2025 interlocal agreements nearing expiration, WRIA 8 and 9 have requested that each
member jurisdiction executes new interlocal agreements for a new 10-year term extending from 2026 to
2035, to continue funding staff resources for coordination and grant management and other resources
associated with implementing the plans.
AGENDA ITEM #5. h)
Renton benefits from continued participation and partnership with WRIA 8 and WRIA 9 through:
1. Contributing to regional Salmon Recovery efforts to comply with the listing of Chinook Salmon as
Threatened under the Endangered Species Act.
2. Receipt of grant funds. Notably, Renton received a $150,000 grant from WRIA 9 in the current ILA, to
partially fund the Springbrook Creek Restoration Action Plan.
3. Receipt of support in pursuing state and federal grant funds. WRIA 9 drafted a letter of support for
Renton’s application for funds from the Recreation and Conservation Office to restore fish passage
along Panther Creek at Talbot Road S. This project recently received a $412,000 grant.
4. Building knowledge and technical understanding of habitat restoration projects through the
participation of Surface Water Engineering staff on the WRIA 8 and WRIA 9 implementation technical
committees.

Population:
• Population estimates are based on 2023 OFM April 1st Estimates and 2023 OFM Small Area Estimate Program (SAEP) data for census blocks.
• The portion of Kent in WRIA 8 is solely the Kent Watershed and has no population allocated to it.
*Assessed Value & Area:
King County: Assessed value is based on King County Assessor’s data February 2021, land + improvements value
Assessed value and area (sq. miles) excludes the Upper Cedar River subwatershed.
• Jurisdictions entirely within a WRIA are assigned the 2023 OFM April 1st Estimate directly. Jurisdictions that straddle WRIA boundaries are assigned the percent share of the 2023 OFM April
1st Estimate based on a geographic allocation of census blocks across WRIA boundaries, accounting for water areas and public land where people are unlikely to live.

Population:
• Population estimates are based on 2023 OFM April 1st Estimates and 2023 OFM Small Area Estimate Program (SAEP) data for census blocks.
• The portion of Kent in WRIA 8 is solely the Kent Watershed and has no population allocated to it.
*Assessed Value & Area:
King County: Assessed value is based on King County Assessor’s data February 2021, land + improvements value
Assessed value and area (sq. miles) excludes the Upper Cedar River subwatershed.
• Jurisdictions entirely within a WRIA are assigned the 2023 OFM April 1st Estimate directly. Jurisdictions that straddle WRIA boundaries are assigned the percent share of the 2023 OFM April
1st Estimate based on a geographic allocation of census blocks across WRIA boundaries, accounting for water areas and public land where people are unlikely to live.

This document sets forth the general understanding between the United States Postal Inspection
Service (USPIS), the Renton Police Department with respect to a joint cooperative law
enforcement effort, hereinafter referred to as the Seattle Contraband Interdiction and

This document is not intended as a formal contract, but rather as an expression of understanding
to facilitate cooperation. This document is an internal government agreement and is not intended
to confer any rights or benefits to any private person or party. The goals of the Seattle CI2
Taskforce will be to protect the public by investigating and prosecuting criminal offenses related
to the trafficking of controlled substances/other dangerous drugs and violations of money
laundering statutes.
I. Purpose
The purpose of this Agreement is to develop a cooperative effort with Federal, State and local law
enforcement agencies charged with the investigation and prosecution of criminal offenses
involving the trafficking of controlled substances and money laundering violations, as well as to
establish the terms and conditions under which participating Agencies may coordinate
investigative efforts with and/or provide assistance to the USPIS in developing investigations and
cases for criminal prosecution.
II. Mission
To investigate, arrest and prosecute individuals participating in illegal drug activity associated to
the U.S. Mail in the jurisdictional areas in order to protect the general public from illegal drug
activity and create a safer and more secure environment for businesses and the general public in
the State of Washington.
III. Objective

effective use of the Task Force intelligence and resources.

prosecution.
E. To substantially reduce the illegal drug mailings committed in the State of Washington.
IV. Authorities
USPIS participation in this MOU is authorized under 18 U.S.C. § 3061, 39 U.S.C. § 401, 404 and
411.
Exhibit A AGENDA ITEM # 7. a)
V. Participants
The following Federal and local law enforcement agencies are participants in this initiative:
A. United States Postal Inspection Service
B. Renton Police Department
Any State or local employees assigned to the Seattle CI2 Taskforce in accordance with this
Agreement are not considered Federal employees, are not employed by the United States Postal
Service (USPS) or the USPIS. They do not take on the status or benefits of Federal employment,
USPS employment, or USPIS employment by virtue of this assignment.
VI. Personnel Commitment
Each participating agency intends to provide experienced law enforcement personnel on a full-
time basis to the Seattle CI2 Taskforce for participation on designated investigations. The
participating agency will certify the personnel assigned to the Seattle CI2 Taskforce are not the
subject of any current or pending disciplinary actions, or completed disciplinary actions which
would in any way compromise the mission of the initiative. Additions or deletions of personnel
will be at the discretion of the authorizing supervisors of the respective participants. The
participating agencies agree to furnish the following complement of personnel dedicated to the
Task Force:
A. USPIS – up to nine Postal Inspectors/Task Force Officers
B. Renton Police Department – up to one Detective/Task Force Officers
The Renton Police Department agrees to furnish vehicles for their assigned investigators and
provide them immediate access to such vehicles to travel from their residences in order to be able
to respond to joint initiative-related emergency call-outs, to begin and end tours of duty in order
to maximize investigative time, and to otherwise conduct investigations of common interest.
Addendum A outlines vehicle reimbursement.
The following departments assigned to Seattle CI2 Taskforce may request overtime as outlined in
this MOU:
A. Renton Police Department
Members of the Task Force will be responsible for the investigation of the use of the mail to
engage in the trafficking of controlled substances, firearms and money laundering violations.
Continued assignment of specific personnel to the Task Force will be based on performance and
will be at the discretion of their respective agency heads.
VII. Principles
The following principles will help guide relationships among all law enforcement participants in
this initiative regarding policy, planning, training, supervision and public relations. All agencies
AGENDA ITEM # 7. a)
participating in the initiative agree these principles will serve as a basis to mediate any disputes
that arise during its operation.
VIII. Recognition of Authority
The Renton Police Department recognizes the U.S. Postal Inspection Service is the principal
Federal Law Enforcement Agency responsible for the investigation and enforcement of Federal
laws regarding the U.S. Mail, use of the mails, and property in the custody of the U.S. Postal
Service, as well as other Postal offenses.
The Renton Police Department understands U.S. Mail under the custody or control of USPS is
sealed against inspection and cannot be opened except under the authority of a Federal Search
Warrant issued pursuant to Rule 41 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, or by consent
from the sender and/or addressee of the mail piece. The Renton Police Department may not, in
any manner, detain or otherwise interfere with U.S. Mail, or record information from mail matter
unless specifically authorized to do so by a U.S. Postal Inspector.
IX. Administration
Because this Memorandum of Understanding outlines a cooperative endeavor on the part of all
the participants, the policy, program involvement, and direction of this initiative should be joint
responsibilities of the enforcement supervisors of the participants. Therefore, the cases will be
jointly investigated and no particular participating agency will prevail over another or will act
unilaterally. The participants (or designated representatives) will meet regularly as agreed upon
to discuss investigations related to the above mentioned offenses.
X. Jurisdiction
The determination as to whether a case will be prosecuted federally or by the appropriate county
or state authority will be based upon which level of prosecution will best serve the interest of
justice consistent with the overall mission objectives of the initiative.
XI. Supervision
In order to affect efficient field operations, operational supervision of the personnel assigned to
the Seattle CI2 Taskforce, while working on initiatives or investigations directly related to the
Seattle CI2 Taskforce, will be the responsibility of a designated field supervisory officer. For the
Seattle CI2 Taskforce the field supervisory officer is the U.S. Postal Inspector/Team Leader
(TFS) in charge of Team 0601. On matters not related to the Seattle CI2 Taskforce, assigned
personnel will continue to be subject to the established lines of supervision of their respective
agencies.
In the event of a conflict with respect to supervisory authority, no action will be taken by the
involved personnel until the conflict is resolved at the agency head level. Each member of the
Seattle CI2 Taskforce is subject to the personnel rules, regulations, laws and policies applicable to
their respective agency. Each Seattle CI2 Taskforce member will continue to report to his or her
respective agency supervisor for non-investigative matters not detailed in this MOU.
AGENDA ITEM # 7. a)
Dismissal from the Task Force will occur solely upon consultation and subsequent approval by
agency management of the respective agency heads.
XII. Operation
The TFS, in consultation with a case specific Assistant United States Attorney (AUSA), or the
state and/or local prosecutor, will be primarily responsible for directing and monitoring
investigations related to the Seattle CI2 Taskforce. In cases which have been designated for
federal prosecution, all investigative procedures shall conform to the current USPIS and
Department of Justice regulations and guidelines on criminal investigations and undercover
operations.
XIII. Information Sharing
A. No information possessed by the USPIS, to include information derived from informal
communications between Seattle CI2 Taskforce personnel and USPIS employees not
assigned to the Seattle CI2 Taskforce, may be disseminated by Seattle CI2 Taskforce
personnel to non- Seattle CI2 Taskforce personnel without prior USPIS authorization and
in accordance with the applicable laws and internal regulations, procedures or agreements
between the Seattle CI2 Taskforce and the participating agencies that would permit the
participating agencies to receive that information directly. Likewise, Seattle CI2
Taskforce personnel will not provide any participating agency information to the USPIS
that is not otherwise available to it unless authorized by appropriate participating agency
officials. This prohibition shall not be interpreted to limit or prevent discussion between
the Seattle CI2 Taskforce member and his/her Renton Police Department supervisors.
B. Each Party that discloses PII is responsible for making reasonable efforts to ensure that
the information disclosed is accurate, complete, timely, and relevant.
C. The USPIS is providing access to information from its records with the understanding
that in the event the recipient becomes aware of any inaccuracies in the data, the recipient

not aware of any potential impeachment information regarding Detective Singer, including any
of the following: agency or judicial findings of misconduct relating to truth, bias, or integrity;
substantive violations of law, Department policy or Department procedure; or pending
investigations. Further, Detective Singer is not restricted from possessing a firearm as set forth
