SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Because an incorrect bid amount was presented to Council on 4/15/2013 for award, a revision is
necessary to correct the award record. The East Renton Lift Station Elimination project bid opening took
place on 4/9/2013. Subsequent bid award documentation accidentally picked up the incorrect amount
of $275,468.06 as the low bid from Hoffman Construction, which is the amount then awarded by Council
on 4/15/2013. Thereafter it was realized that the accurate amount of the low bid from Hoffman
Construction was $257,278.79. Because of this clerical error, re-approval is requested of the bid
award to Hoffman Construction in the corrected amount of $257,278.79.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Accept and re-approve award of the East Renton Lift Station Elimination project contract to the low
bidder, Hoffman Construction, Inc. in the corrected amount of $257,278.79.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The City Attorney’s Office and Administrative Services Department are reviewing the entire Title V of
the Renton Municipal Code and are recommending certain housekeeping amendments. The attached
draft ordinance represents part of these amendments.
In addition to the housekeeping amendments, a change is recommended for Title 5 Chapter 7,
Entertainment Devise License Fee. Entertainment devices are machines or devices that provide
recreation or entertainment for which a charge is made for use or play. This includes arcade games as
well as RedBox DVD rental kiosks. The City charges $30 per quarter or $120 per year for an amusement
device. Base on the review of current license holders and the comparison with surrounding jurisdictions,
staff recommends placing a cap on the licensing fee to $3,000 per year from any single location. The
proposed cap would allow those establishments with more than 25 amusement devices a lower per
device cost, and at the same time it would allow the City to preserve its existing revenue base.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the proposed ordinance making various amendments to Chapter 1, 7, and 8 of Title V Renton
Municipal Code.

Members of the Renton City Council
CC:Denis Law, Mayor
FROM:Iwen Wang, Administrative Services Administrator
SUBJECT:Title V Code Amendment
Entertainment Device License Fee Amendment
ISSUE:
Should the City make various housekeeping and other amendments to the Title V of
Renton Municipal Code? Specifically the attached ordinance makes the following
changes:
1.Housekeeping Items:
a.Create a common definitions section (5-1-1) which applies to all chapters
under Title V; this also required renumbering of sections in Chapter 1.
b.Consolidate/move 5-1-9 Fee Schedule into 5-1-2 (miscellaneous fees,
repealed by Ord. 5509)
c.Other changes for consistency purposes and to clarify RCW references.
2.Entertainment Device Tax/License fee Amendment:
a.Add a maximum amusement license fee by location of $3,000 per year
b.Increase criminal penalty, if convicted, from $500 to $1,000, in addition
to potential imprisonment for violation of licensing requirements.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve proposed amendments to provide better understanding of terminology, and
place a cap on the entertainment device fees and limit the business cost on such license
fees at any one location.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
The City Attorney’s Office and Administrative Services Department are reviewing the
entire Title V of the Renton Municipal Code and are recommending certain
housekeeping amendments. The attached draft ordinance represents part of these
amendments.
5e. - Administrative Services Department

Title V Code Amendment
Page 2 of 3
April 23, 2013
In addition to the housekeeping amendments, a change is recommended for Chapter 7,
Entertainment Device License Fee.
Entertainment devices are machines or devices which provide recreation or
entertainment for which a charge is made for use or play. This includes arcade games as
well as RedBox DVD rental kiosks. The City charges $30 per quarter or $120 per year for
an amusement device. The City was contacted by a potential business who is interested
in locating a retro-style arcade/game center in Downtown Renton. They cited
challenges to attract amusement game vendors because of the fee level and asked for
consideration of a change.
The City currently has 20 businesses with amusement devices at various locations
around the City generating around $10,000 annually. As shown in the attached
comparison, Renton’s per unit entertainment device license fee does appear to be
higher than most surrounding jurisdictions. However, instead of lowering the fee across
the board, staff recommends placing a cap on the fees to $3,000 per year from any
single location. The proposed cap would allow those establishments with more than 25
amusement devices a lower per device cost, at the same time allowing the City to
preserve its existing revenue base.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed ordinance will make various housekeeping amendments to Chapter 1, 7,
and 8 of Title V Renton Municipal Code for clarification and consistency purposes. The
only material change is the addition of a $3,000 “cap” to the maximum entertainment
device license fee at any one location. This change is to bring Renton’s license fee more
in line with surrounding jurisdictions for entertainment centers.

actual cost of enforcing the gambling regulations by local law enforcement agency and in no event the tax may exceed 2% of net revenue.
2 Under the state law, unpaid gambling taxes become lien on the real and personal properties used in the gambling activities.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Renton Municipal Code 4-1-160 J requires the annual review of the Issaquah, Kent and Renton School
Districts’ Capital Facilities Plan and assessed impact fee. The collection of school impact fees is
contingent upon each of the three Districts entering into an interlocal and the adoption of the District's
CFPs and agreement. Issaquah has recommended a $170 increase in the single-family impact fee for
the upcoming year to $3,568. Kent has asked to retain its single-family impact fee at $5,486 and multi-
family unit impact fee at $3,738 for the upcoming year. Renton has recommended a $3 increase in the
single family impact fee for the upcoming year to $6,395 and a $34 increase in the multi-family unit
impact fee to $1,308 for the upcoming year.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Set Public Hearing for May 13, 2013; adopt each of the Issaquah, Kent, and Auburn School Districts
Capital Facilities Plans, approve collection of the requested impact fees respectively and adopt the
Ordinance, authorize the three interlocal agreements and adopt the Resolution; and adopt an ordinance
to waive claims for refunds of school impact fee payments for unidentified miscalculations unless the
payment was paid under protest. 5f. - Community and Economic

BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
Washington’s Growth Management Act authorizes the collection of impact fees to help
ensure that those responsible for growth pay a fair share for the cost of new facilities
needed to support new growth. School impact fees are assessed on newly built
household units and can only be used to support the capital costs of expanded existing
or building new facilities. Operations and maintenance costs are not eligible expenses
for impact fees. Impact fees can be assessed to support a number of different capital
funds that are needed to support growth. Commonly, impact fees are collected for
things such as improvements to schools, parks, and transportation systems. The
5f. - Community and Economic
Development Department requests Page 53 of 236
Randy Corman, Council President
Page 2 of 3
April 18, 2013
amount collected for an impact fee is based upon a Capital Facilities Plan (CFP) that
must show that there is a need for capital projects due to growth.
For the purposes of setting forth duties and responsibilities with regard to the collection
and distribution of school impact fees, the School Districts have signed interlocal
agreements. The interlocal agreements authorize the imposition of school impact fees
on new growth and development activity for the purpose of having that new growth
and development pay a proportionate share of the costs of new facilities required based
on that new growth and development. The collection of school impact fees is
contingent upon each of the District’s entering into an interlocal agreement and the
adoption of the District’s CFP’s and agreement.
In November 1999, the City adopted Ordinance No. 4804, which added a new section to
Title IV entitled “School Impact Fees”. This section authorized the City to collect school
impact fees for the Issaquah School District (ISD) and provided for an annual review of
the fee structure. The Last year, Council approved the collection of $3,568 on behalf of
the ISD for each new single-family dwelling built within the District’s boundaries. This
year, the ISD has asked for an increase in the fee to $3,738 which includes a 55% district
discount. Additionally, the ISD plans on expanding Sunny Hills Elementary, Clark
Elementary, Issaquah Valley Elementary, Issaquah Middle, and Tiger Mountain High.
Given the likelihood of annexation of land to the City of Renton within the boundaries of
the Kent School District (KSD), Council authorized the collection of an impact fee for new
single-family and multi-family homes. The KSD is requesting to continue the collection
of the same fee of $5,486 per new single-family home. Additionally, the District is
requesting the continuation of the collection of the fee for new multi-family units in the
amount to $3,378 for the upcoming year. The District’s 2012/2013 – 2017/2018 CFP
includes the addition of facilities that would serve current and future Renton residents
(within the PAA), which includes the expansion of an existing elementary, in addition to
the acquisition of a site for a new elementary school. The adjustment of the KSD, based
on current economic conditions, results in no change to the current impact fees.
The Renton School District (RSD) is requesting a $3 increase in the fee for single-family
homes this upcoming year, to bring the total amount to $6,395 per new single-family
home. Additionally, the District is requesting a $34 increase in the fee for new multi-
family units, to bring the total amount to $1,308 for the upcoming year which also
includes a $1,479 voluntary District adjustment. The District’s 2012 CFP includes the
addition of facilities that would serve current and future Renton residents, which
includes additional elementary and middle school facilities. RSD serves as primary
district liaison with six municipalities and jurisdictions: cities of Renton, Bellevue,
Tukwila, Newcastle, Kent, and unincorporated King County. Collection of school impact
fees on behalf of RSD has been approved by King County. The District is pursuing the
collection of impact fees with the cities of Bellevue, Newcastle, and Tukwila.

In order to address potential challenges to the amount of school impact fees charged to
a particular development, the City Attorney has drafted language to waive claims for a
refund. Claims for a refund of school impact fees and related interest earned on the
same school impact fees would be waived if an applicant fails to identify an erroneous
assessment at the time the school impact fee is assessed. If an applicant identifies an
error, miscalculation, misclassification of the type of dwelling unit, or erroneous
assessment at the time that the school impact fee is assessed, they may pay the school
impact fee under protest. Payment under protest would allow the applicant to obtain a
permit while an appeal administrative hearing is scheduled to protest the payment.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This Six-Year Capital Facilities Plan (the “Plan”) was prepared by Renton School District
(the “District”) in compliance with the requirements of the Washington State Growth
Management Act and the School Impact Fee Ordinance of King County Council Code Title
21A.
The Plan is a description of anticipated capital facility needs and related expenditures for
the next six years. Those needs include increased elementary, middle and special services
school capacity and land acquisition for future increased capacity at all grade levels; with
significant potential impacts as a result of lower class size and all-day kindergarten
initiatives.
The citizens of the District approved a Capital Facilities Bond Measure in 2008. The
District continues to modernize its facilities utilizing proceeds from those bonds and
anticipates completing all planned 2008 bond funded projects by 2014. Additional capital
facility needs identified in the Plan are subject to passage of a 2012 Bond Measure,
scheduled for the April 2012 ballot.
The Plan is developed with knowledge of the land-use and population implications of King
County and the cities of Renton, Newcastle, Bellevue, Kent and Tukwila Comprehensive
and Generalized Land Use Plans. The District is committed to planning in a manner
consistent with the community’s vision of its future as represented in these and other
development policy documents.
This Plan may be used as documentation for any jurisdiction that requires its use to meet
the needs of the Growth Management Act.
The Plan is not intended to be the sole planning tool for determining capital facilities needs
of the District.
The Plan assesses the ability of the District’s facilities to assist in the delivery of the
educational program adopted by the District. The Plan looks at the need for the District to
modernize or replace existing facilities, as well as to provide new facilities to house
projected student enrollment.
The State Growth Management Act requires that several pieces of information be gathered
to determine the facilities available and needed to meet the needs of a growing community.
This section provides information about current facilities, existing facility needs, and
expected future facility requirements for Renton School District. A Financial Plan, which
lists expected funding for any new construction, modernizations, upgrades and temporary
portable classrooms, is included.

CAPACITY
Facility capacity, as established by Renton School District, is a product of the instructional
plan adopted by the District as well as the school calendar/schedule, teachers' contracts and
organizational structure. Together, these elements define the District’s Standard of
Service. Any time the District alters its Standard of Service it must recalculate the capacity
of each affected facility. Factors such as a significant change in students’ choices of
subjects at the high school level may also impact facility capacity, as the District is
committed to choice of study for its students.
This Plan recognizes significant changes in the student demographics that are continuing to
occur. Both bilingual and special needs students, as a percentage of the total student
population, have been increasing significantly over the last several years.
The District has adopted an organizational structure that houses kindergarten through fifth
grades in Elementary Schools, sixth through eighth grades in Middle Schools, and ninth
through twelfth grades in High Schools.
The District has adopted a traditional school calendar year that begins in early September
and completes in mid-June, and has adopted a traditional daily schedule with academic
classes beginning between 7:30 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. and completing mid-afternoon.
Although Renton School District continues to study alternate organizations, calendars and
schedules, the District believes the adopted organizational structure is educationally sound
and reflects community values. If alternate organizations, calendars or schedules are
adopted, capacity calculations will be revised as necessary.
The Renton School District’s goal is to limit class size as follows:
Elementary School
Grades K - 3 24
Grades 4 – 5 29
Middle School
Grades 6 - 8 29
High School
Grade 9 - 12 29
Scheduling constraints and fluctuations in enrollment by school and during the year do not
allow the District to operate at the theoretical full capacity of its facilities.
The educational program implemented by Renton School District includes individual and
small group work as well as full class activities. Portable classrooms do not allow the full

2-3
range of educational activities envisioned by Renton School District and are therefore
excluded from calculations of capacity as well as from level of service calculations.
Portables are considered adequate only for temporary or supplementary housing.
The capacity for each facility is established by multiplying the number of permanent
classrooms available by the scheduling limitations on average students per class. Core
facilities and special use facilities are compared to classroom capacity to confirm that
facility capacity is not limited by limitations in core facilities. Capacity worksheets
calculate the capacity of each facility as it operated during the 2010-2011 school year.
PRACTICAL CAPACITY MODEL
The Practical Capacity Model calculates student capacity based on limitations that existing
facilities place on enrollment due to existing educational programs, operating policy and
contractual restrictions.
The calculation is made by reviewing the use of each room in each facility. For every
room housing students, a calculation is made assigning a maximum number of students per
room. Sometimes core facilities, such as size of cafeteria or size of gym, number of
restrooms or size and number of specialty areas such as shops, limit enrollment to levels
below that expected by room occupancy levels.
Occupancy at secondary schools is further limited by scheduling limitations and student
course selection. If rooms are utilized by staff for their planning period in a six period day,
capacity is limited to 83% (5/6) of the theoretical capacity. Since secondary schools offer a
number of elective courses, many courses will not attract a full classroom of students.
A summary of Existing Facility Capacity is provided in the table below. A complete
inventory of all District facilities follows, including capacity of permanent K-12 facilities.
For the purpose of this Plan, portable and special educational facilities are excluded from
capacity calculations. Facility calculation Worksheets are included in Section 3:
Supporting Documentation.

ENROLLMENT FORECAST
Renton School District enrollment projections are based on data published by the Office of
Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI). OSPI utilizes the cohort survival method to
forecast student enrollment projections for a six-year period based on annual student
enrollment reports provided by the District. Projections are updated annually. The District
has reconfigured the data published by OSPI to be consistent with the District’s facility
grade level structure.
Current projections, based on actual student enrollment documented on October 1, 2011,
indicate increasing enrollment within the District over the next six years; with a significant
increase at the elementary level and somewhat lesser growth at the middle school level.
By the school year 2017-2018, the District can expect an overall student enrollment
increase of 20.2%, with a 27.5% increase at the elementary school level, an 18.7% increase
at the middle school level and an 8.9 % increase at the high school level.
Renton School District enrollment projections follow.

ENROLLMENT DRIVEN FACILITY NEEDS
The following table compares the current capacity of the Renton School District facilities
with Greene Gasaway Architects’ projected enrollment.
The table below shows that the District will face a capacity deficit at the elementary and
middle school grade groupings during the six year period covered by the Capital Facility
Plan.
The capacity deficit at the elementary school group may be magnified by anticipated
program changes.
A capacity deficit is projected at all grade groupings over the next 20 years.

NEEDS FORECAST – NEW FACILITIES
Capacity constraints must be compared with enrollment projections to determine if new
District facilities are warranted within the time frame encompassed by this plan.
Enrollment trends identified in the Supporting Documentation indicate that the District
expects significant increases in enrollment at all grade levels within the 6 year planning
window.
The District is currently addressing several capacity constraints through utilization of
remaining 2008 bond funds as follows:
1. Construction of an Early Childhood Learning Center.
2. Completion of the Secondary Learning Center, currently under construction.
Additional information regarding the 2008 Bond Measure is provided in Section 3: Supporting
Documentation.
The District intends to further address increased capacity needs through the collection of
impact fees and a new bond measure scheduled to go before the voters in April 2012. An
overview of proposed 2012 Capital Bond projects is included in Section 3: Supporting
Documentation.
Enrollment driven facility needs may include:
1. Property acquisition for future facilities.
2. Construction of a new elementary school.
3. Construction of a new middle school.
Additional information regarding Enrollment Driven Facility Needs, New Facility Cost Models and
Impact Fee Calculations are provided in Section 3: Supporting Documentation.

SIX-YEAR FINANCE PLAN
Capital improvements will be funded through the use of remaining 2008 Bond Measure
funds, Impact Fees and anticipated future bond measures.
2008 Bond Measure funds will taper down in 2014. Major projects currently in the design
or construction phase, including the new Secondary Learning Center and Early Childhood
Learning Center, are fully funded by those funds.
To address future needs, the District has developed a capital bond measure that will be
presented to the voters on the April 2012 ballot.
The District intends to structure its capital improvement program so as to maintain a
constant level of construction throughout the program period, in order to optimally utilize
its management capacity.
Estimated expenditures for capacity improvement projects over the duration of the Plan are
indicated in the Table below.

IMPACT FEES
Each jurisdiction that imposes school impact fees requires that developers pay these fees to
help cover a share of the impact of new housing developments on school facilities.
To determine an equitable fee throughout unincorporated King County, a formula was
established. This formula can be found in King County code 21A and was substantially
adopted by the City of Renton, Seattle, and Newcastle. The formula requires the District to
establish a “Student Generation Factor” that estimates how many students will be added to
a school district by each new single or multi-family unit and to gather some standard
construction costs, which are unique to that district. Calculation of Student Generation
Factors is provided in Section 3: Supporting Documentation.
Site Acquisition Cost is the estimated cost per acre to purchase property.
Building Acquisition Cost is the estimated cost to construct facilities unique to the district.
New Facility Cost Models are provided in Section 3: Supporting Documentation.
Temporary Facility Cost is the estimated cost per classroom to purchase portables.
State Match Credit is the credit to offset the percent of cost matched by the State.
In response to declining economic conditions over the past several years and current
economic forecasts, Renton School District has introduced a Voluntary District Adjustment
component into the prescribed impact fee calculation. The intent of this adjustment is to
limit any increase in impact fees to a percentage equal to the local rate of inflation. The
index selected is the CPI-U-Sea (Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers in Seattle)
as developed by the U.S. Dept. of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Based on the Growth Management Act, King County Code 21A and the Voluntary District
Reduction, adjusted impact fees for the plan year 2012 are:
Single-Family Units $ 6,395
Multi-Family Units $ 1,308

STUDENT GENERATION FACTORS
The formula for determining school impact fees as established by King County Council
Ordinance 11621, Attachment A, requires that student factors be based on the average
actual student generation rates for new developments within the District’s service area,
constructed not more than five years prior to the fee calculation date. In the event that data
is not available in the District, it may use data from adjacent districts, districts with similar
demographics, or county-wide averages.
In the absence of actual student rates within the Renton School District, the student
generation factors used in calculating school impact fees were established as the average of
the student generation factors available from adjacent districts. See following table.

SUBJECT:King County Youth Sports Facilities Grant Contract
Issue
Should the Council approve an agreement authorizing the City to approve a contract for
the use of a King County Youth Sports Facilities Grant (YSFG) for the Meadow Crest
Playground?
Recommendation
Approve an agreement with King County, making a determination to accept and match
the YSFG in the amount of $65,000.
Background
King County provides an annual competitive process to apply for a Youth Sports
Facilities Grant, which is completed in concert with a local organization. Working
with the Rotary Club of Renton, staff applied for and was awarded $65,000.
The YSFG is to assist in capital improvements to provide recreational or athletic
opportunities, primarily to youth under 21 years of age. The required period of
dedicated public use/youth priority is 15 years.
The Meadow Crest Playground, adjacent to the Meadow Crest Early Learning
Center and the North Highlands Neighborhood Center, is being designed
primarily for youth ages two to twelve, and includes intergenerational activities.
The Playground, scheduled to start construction in June 2013, will be funded by
the city, Renton School District, and generous donations from a number of local
community organizations and private businesses.
Renton’s total financial contribution to fund the playground is $1,250,000, and
the anticipated total project cost is $2,204,836.00.
The Interlocal Agreement between the city and Renton School District to develop
the playground was approved by Council on April 8, 2013.

SUBJECT:Iron Mountain Information Management, Inc. Lease Amendment for Space
on the Fourth Floor of Renton City Hall
Issue:
Should the Council authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign Lease Amendment Four to LAG-
00-003 with Iron Mountain Information Management, Inc (IM) for space on the fourth floor of
Renton City Hall?
Recommendation:
Council authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the Lease Amendment.
Background:
IM has been leasing the fourth floor of the Renton City Hall since 2000.
The third Lease Amendment extended the lease term through May 31, 2013 and restored
the lease of 14,208 square feet (of 17,881 on the fourth floor) from a triple-net type to a full
service lease.
IM has used the space for a variety of work groups in a mix with their other Puget Sound
locations.
IM has strong financials and they are considered a prime tenant.
The business points of the proposed lease amendment are as follows:
o Two-year term with one (1) three-year market-rate-negotiated renewal option.
o Half of the first month’s rent will be abated;
o Rent will be increase from $19.50 to $21.00 a foot at inception; and to $21.75 in the
second year.
o Tenant improvement costs are limited to cleaning the carpet within three months of
inception.
o The total revenue collected in two years, including the state leasehold tax, will be
$594,960.

o Brokerage fees are $28,416.00 to Jones Lang LaSalle ($2 per foot) and per contract,
Kidder Mathews will receive up to $14, 874.00.
Conclusion:
Iron Mountain has been a very good tenant, and this market-based lease amendment provides
the City with continuing cash flow and minimal tenant improvement costs.
