MOVED BY PERSSON, SECONDED BY BRIERE, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE PROCLAMATION. CARRIED. Councilmember Parker accepted the proclamation and remarked that he appreciates that citizens put faith in him to represent them. He stated that he is honored to have served the citizens of Renton and the City Council. Mayor Law welcomed Sue Paro, Executive Director for Community In Schools of Renton (CISR). Ms. Paro stated that CISR is a drop-out prevention program and that 25% of Renton High School students do not graduate on-time with their classes. She stated that drop-outs have a significant impact on student lives, the city, and the community because they are more likely to live in poverty and sometimes enter the criminal justice system. Ms. Paro stated that the CISR mission statement is to surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life. She remarked that CISR provides family liaisons that help to broker services such as mentors, tutors, and healthcare for at-risk youth. She reported that during the 2010/2011 school year CISR served 877 students, and 481 families. She stated that the family liaisons are also advocates for homeless students and that 159 homeless children were served last year, which is a 26% increase over the previous school year. Ms. Paro explained that the CISR program was expanded five years ago to find ways to increase students' academic success. She stated that 300 middle school students receive intense support from the Academic Liaison Mentor program. She remarked that this program has 122 adult volunteers who provided 2,744 hours of mentoring, which has an in-kind value of $55,566. December 12, 2011 Renton City Council Minutes Page 381 AUDIENCE COMMENT Citizen Comment: Rajaratnam - Title IV Docket #69, Auto Repair and Sales Citizen Comment: Hughes - Title IV Docket #D-69, Auto Repair and Sales Citizen Comment: Clark - King County Library System Racism Citizen Comment: Meeks- Title IV Docket #D-69, Auto Repair and Sales Ms. Paro reported that CISR has hired a small group mentor who works with fifth grade boys as they transition to sixth grade. She explained these students are at-risk for being successful in middle school. She stated that there are 42 students in the program, and most of them are students of color. She added that the program is also helping fifth grade girls' transition to middle school this year. Concluding, Ms. Paro reported that of the 6,000 students and families served by CISR 98% live in poverty, 45% live in single-parent households, and 70% are students of color. She expressed appreciation for the generosity of the Renton community. She remarked that donations of school supplies, personal care supplies, and other in-kind resources worth over $120,000 went back to the students and families in the school district. Responding to Councilmember Taylor's inquiry, Ms. Paro remarked that the program is in need of more mentors, especially male mentors and mentors of color. Mayor Law stated that the CISR program is an invaluable asset for the City and the school district. Leslie Rajaratnam (Renton) expressed frustration regarding the proposed legislation concerning auto repair businesses. He stated that he has owned and operated an auto repair shop for over 35 years in Renton, and believes that the legislation is too intrusive and personal. He remarked that the City should address problems with specific businesses and not introduce new laws that impede his ability to run his business. Mr. Rajaratnam added that due to the economy his business is already down by 62%. He urged Council to reject the proposed ordinance. Councilmember Parker remarked that the proposed legislation does not apply to Mr. Rajaratnam's business. Planning Director Chip Vincent added that Washington State's vested-rights doctrine allows businesses to exist based on rules that were in effect when the business was established. He emphasized that the City is not reaching back in time, but is only looking forward. Candace Hughes (Renton) asked how the proposed legislation will affect her two auto repair businesses. Mayor Law reiterated that the ordinance will not affect existing businesses. Beatrice Clark (Renton) remarked that she has evidence that racism, racial profiling, white privilege, discrimination, lies, and corruption are occurring at the King County Library. She stated that King County Library System supports the system's racism and unethical actions without question or interest in ascertaining the truth and that they have been unresponsive to letters requesting a hearing to investigate the allegations brought against them. Ms. Clark commented that she had also felt discriminated against when patronizing the downtown Renton library before the annexation, but had thought the issues would be resolved by KCLS. She remarked that if KCLS had handled the issue appropriately she would not be attending area Council meetings in order to draw attention to the issue. She added that she will be submitting documentation to the City regarding her concerns at a later date. Kirk Meeks (Renton) expressed concerns about the proposed legislation regarding auto repair and sales. He remarked that under this Ordinance, he would not have been able to sustain his business if he had waited until 2012 to December 12, 2011 Renton City Council Minutes Page 382 CONSENT AGENDA Council: Meeting Minutes of 12/5/2011 City Clerk: 2011 General Election Results CED: 2012 State Legislative Agenda & Statement of Policy Positions CED: Glennwood Townhomes Fee Waiver Request, Renton Housing Authority CED: Renton Avenue Business District Improvements, King County Transportation: S Lake Washington Roadway & Intersection Improvements, TIB Grant Utility: Thunder Hills Creek Drainage Easements, WSDOT move it to Renton. Mr. Meeks explained that the types of repairs he conducts would not allow him to meet the proposed 72-hour parking time limit because he sometimes has to wait several months for vehicle parts to arrive.

December 12, 2011 Renton City Council Minutes Page 385 Planning & Development Committee CED: Title IV (Development Regulations) Docket #7 CED: Title IV (Development Regulations) Docket #D-68, Food System Sustainability (Grocery Stores) Planning and Development Committee Chair Parker presented a report recommending concurrence in the staff recommendation to adopt the following items on the 2011 Title IV Docket: D-69 was previously approved via the 12/5/2011 Planning and Development Committee report. It has since been modified to read as follows: D-69: Auto Repair - Regulate auto repair businesses to distinguish them from wrecking yards and vehicle storage. Require screening, fencing, landscaping, and compliance with lot coverage standards for auto repair businesses, including auto body shops. D-73: Site Plan Review - The Site Development Plan Review criteria overlapped with other regulations and review processes and needed to be simplified to remove duplicative and superfluous language. Code language also clarifies vesting provisions for approved but not- yet built projects, and provides discretion for determining when a public hearing is needed. The revisions compliment other processes and codes and result in a more appropriate level of project review. D-74: Plat Revisions - This code work clarifies the difference between major and minor revisions to an approved preliminary plat, and the process to amend the plat after preliminary approval and prior to recording. D-75: Shopping Carts - The Shopping Cart Regulations (adopted in 2005) are being revisited to remove references to filing fees for Shopping Cart Containment and Recovery Plans, and to remove the specific appeal fee. These fees are now contained in the City's Fee Schedule, rather than City Code. D-79: Conditional Use Permit Regulations - The conditional use permit regulations have created overlap with site plan review regulations, and have been amended over time in order to address uses such as wireless facilities, kennels, crisis diversion facilities, and live/work units. Some of the review criteria are redundant and not applicable to uses being reviewed. These revisions to the conditional use permit section remove superfluous language, simplify and combine review and decision criteria, and allow for some minor revisions to approved conditional use permits. The Committee further recommended that the ordinances regarding these matters be presented for first reading and advanced for second and final reading. MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY ZWICKER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. (See page 387 and 388 for ordinances.)

The Committee further recommended that the ordinance regarding this matter be presented for first reading and advanced for second and final reading. MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY ZWICKER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. (See page 387 for ordinance.) December 12, 2011 Renton City Council Minutes Page 386 CED: Title IV (Development Regulations) Docket #D-68, Food System Sustainability (Home Agriculture) CED: Title IV (Development Regulations) Docket #D-68, Food System Sustainability (Keeping Bees) CED: Title IV (Development Regulations) Docket #D-68, Food System Sustainability (Keeping Animals) Planning and Development Committee Chair Parker presented a report recommending concurrence in the staff and Planning Commission recommendation to adopt the following item on the 2011 Title IV Docket: D-68: Food System Sustainability (Home Agriculture) - Amend City standards to foster improved access to fresh food for City residents by allowing a new accessory use to residential - Home Agriculture, and allow limited sales of produce grown onsite provided established conditions are met. The Committee further recommended that the ordinance regarding this matter be presented for first reading and advanced for second and final reading. MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY ZWICKER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. (See page 387 for ordinance.) Planning and Development Committee Chair Parker presented a report recommending concurrence in the staff and Planning Commission recommendation to adopt the following item on the 2011 Title IV Docket: D-68: Food System Sustainability (Keeping Bees) - Amend City standards to foster improved access to fresh food for City residents by reducing lot size requirements for bee keeping and establishing improved standards for the keeping of bees. The Committee further recommended that the ordinance regarding this matter be presented for first reading and advanced for second and final reading. MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY TAYLOR, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. (See page 387 for ordinance.) Councilmember Zwicker remarked that he declined to sign the Committee report because he believes there are better solutions including, studying the science behind classing bee hives, bee friendly plantings, and possibly having bee hives on City property, rather than allowing bee hives in residential areas. Councilmember Parker added that there was a lot of discussion regarding bees, and this item is about food sustainability and allowing citizens to do more things home-grown. Planning and Development Committee Chair Parker presented a report recommending concurrence in the staff and Planning Commission recommendation to adopt the following item on the 2011 Title IV Docket: D-68: Food System Sustainability (Keeping Animals) - Amend City standards to foster improved access to fresh food for City residents by reducing the minimum lot size required to keep small animals and to provide more flexibility in the Additional Animals Permit. The Committee further recommended that the ordinance regarding this matter be presented for first reading and advanced for second and final reading. MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY TAYLOR, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. (See page 387 for ordinance.) Councilmember Zwicker stated that he declined to sign this Committee report because the proposed legislation would drop the allowance of three chickens on a lot from 6,000 square feet to 4,500 square feet, and with a few extra steps, citizens could have up to five chickens on a 6,500 square foot lot. He added that he was not comfortable with this part of the ordinance.
