Department.
Fire and Emergency Services Administrator Mark Peterson announced that King
County Executive Dow Constantine declared May 15 to 21, 2011 as Emergency
Medical Services (EMS) Providers Week. He introduced Lieutenant Charles De
Smith to provide information on the City's EMS program.
Lt. De Smith stated that citizens should not be surprised to see a ladder truck
pull up to an emergency medical call. He remarked that Emergency Medical
Technicians are on those vehicles as well as in aid cars. He commented that
although fires tend to make headlines, EMS providers save lives and that only
49% of the City's total incidents in 1983 were EMS related, compared to 77% in
2010.
Lt. De Smith reported that one reason the number of EMS calls has risen is
because of Renton's growing senior population. He explained that not all of the
EMS calls are for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) or heart attacks; some
are because seniors have fallen, or are depressed. He stated the Fire and
Emergency Services Department is a safety net for senior citizens who do not
have the support of family or friends.
Lt. De Smith reported that training is the best way to be prepared to serve the
community. He remarked that the department trains with King County, and has
partnered with the Police Department to train officers on the use of Automatic
External Defibrillators. He introduced Police Chief Kevin Milosevich to provide
information regarding the Police Department's involvement with Emergency
Medical Services.
Chief Milosevich stated that Officer Gary Berntson is a trained Emergency
Medical Technician in charge of the police department's EMS program. He
explained that 75% of patrol cars are equipped with Automatic External
Defibrillators, and that Officer Berntson developed the training program on

their deployment for the department. Chief Milosevich remarked that the
heart attack survival rate outside a hospital in King County is 47%, compared to
just 6% nationally. He attributed this fact to the training of people who work in
the public service domain, and thanked Officer Berntson for developing the
department's EMS training program.
Additionally, Chief Milosevich reported that Officer Sam Deuz deployed an
Automatic External Defibrillator on a victim on 2/12/2011. He stated that
although the person passed away five days later, his family sent the
department a card expressing gratitude for Officer Deuz' efforts that allowed
them to have the additional five days to say goodbye to their loved one. He
praised Officer Deuz for his life-saving efforts.
Mayor Law recapped his proposal to have Council postpone the decision
regarding the relocation of the downtown library. He noted that not all
members of Council will be present at upcoming Council meetings, and he
believes that the decision is critical enough that all Councilmembers should
have the opportunity to weigh in on it. He also remarked that he would like to
give the police department more time to enact the new enforcement initiative
that was rolled out last week. Mayor Law stated that he believes there is no
negative impact from delaying the decision, and it will also allow more time for
public input.
MOVED BY BRIERE, SECONDED BY ZWICKER, COUNCIL REFER THE RELATED
ORDINANCE REGARDING LIBRARY DEVELOPMENT LIMITED TAX GENERAL
OBLIGATION (LTGO) BONDS SCHEDULED FOR SECOND AND FINAL READING AT
TONIGHT'S COUNCIL MEETING TO THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE. CARRIED.
Councilmember Taylor requested that a process to solicit more engagement
with community members regarding the relocation of the downtown library be
developed. He suggested utilizing a survey or creating a citizen taskforce.
Council discussion ensued regarding opportunities for Councilmembers to
research the issue on their own, positive and negative effects of spending
additional funds for and utilizing different types of surveys, the importance of
citizen input, clarifying and ensuring that citizens have accurate information
regarding relocation options, possibly providing a forum to hear both sides of
the topic, and submitting ideas on how to move the issue forward at a future
Council meeting.
Joel Goodfellow (Renton) expressed frustration regarding the King County
Library System's (KCLS) security camera policies. He stated that people who
prey on children use libraries, and that KCLS is removing the cameras. He
remarked that security cameras may not have prevented the shooting that
occurred near the Renton Transit Center but may have helped solve the crime.
He expressed opposition to the relocation of the downtown library to the
Transit Center area.
Mayor Law noted that an incident occurred at the Burien library, and KCLS
refused to provide security camera footage to police. He also noted that there
has also been discussion from KCLS about removing cameras, and that some
cities are challenging this policy decision. Councilmember Persson stated that
the City should also go on record challenging this.

CONSENT AGENDA
Council Meeting Minutes of
5/9/2011
Phyllis Forister (Renton) expressed opposition to the relocation of the
downtown library. She stated that the City has not decreased taxes as stated in
the KCLS annexation "frequently asked questions" brochure, and that the
current library building is not seismically unsafe. Ms. Forister remarked that
citizens may pursue an initiative to vote on the topic again. She stated that
KCLS is skirting the law by having the City build two new libraries instead of
taking a capital improvements bond measure to a vote of the people.
Beth Asher (Renton) read a quote from someone expressing opposition to the
relocation of the downtown library to the Transit Center area. She also
expressed opposition to the relocation.
Howard McOmber (Renton), Highlands Community Association, invited
students to submit art to an art show occurring 5/21/2011. He stated that the
theme is "Helping Each Other in Renton," and that students may earn prizes for
their projects. He also expressed appreciation for the Fire and Emergency
Services Department.
Judy Jones (Renton) inquired about the cost of relocating the downtown library,
and whether or not taxes would be increased to fund the relocation. She
expressed opposition to the relocation of the current library building, noting
that the new location will be too far for to walk for seniors living in the area.
Judy Tabak (Renton) shared information from a television program regarding
how mayors across the nation are making tough decisions to balance budgets.
She expressed opposition to the relocation of the downtown library, but
expressed support for the use of a taskforce or townhall meeting so citizens
could continue to provide input on the topic.
Jan Hickling (Renton) expressed opposition to the relocation of the downtown
library. She remarked that she enjoys the location of the current library
including its proximity to the park, the river, and community center. She stated
that she believes the Transit Center area is unsafe and therefore library patrons
will utilize different libraries. She suggested that the Chamber of Commerce
move to the Big 5 location.
Cassie Skutvik (Newcastle) expressed opposition to the relocation of the
downtown library to the Transit Center area. She remarked that children will
no longer be able to play outside the library, and having seniors walk through
the Transit Center will make them more vulnerable to crime.
Sarah Becker (Renton) stated that the Library Master Plan recommended that
Renton's library system stay independent, and that the current downtown
library building be remodeled. She read comments regarding patron's love of
the current library's location and urged Council to revisit the master plan. Ms.
Becker remarked that the business men who expressed support for relocating
the library at the last Council meeting do not live in Renton and do not even
pay the City Business and Occupation taxes.
Items listed on the consent agenda are adopted by one motion which follows
the listing.

Examiner. This will eliminate the possible conflict of interest for the Municipal

recommended that the ordinance regarding this matter be presented for first
reading. MOVED BY TAYLOR, SECONDED BY PERSSON, COUNCIL CONCUR IN
THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. (See page 164 for ordinance.)
Planning and Development Committee Vice-Chair Zwicker presented a report
recommending concurrence in the staff recommendation to approve the
following items on the 2011 Title IV (Development Regulations) Docket:
D-55: Animal Provisions-Amend regulations regarding the Keeping of Animals
to allow animals to continue to be kept when an area annexes or if the City
changes code regarding allowable animals, provided that the animals were
legally established. Other changes include refinement of the Additional
Animals provisions to allow the keeping of some large animals on lots as small
as 20,000 square feet provided the specified conditions are met.
D-57: Political Signs - The requirement needs to be made consistent within the
code. 4-4-100J.4.B. states 32 square feet and 4-4-100B.6.M. states 12 square
feet. Also, added is a penalty section for late removal of campaign signs.
D-59: Inactive Land Use Applications - Add provisions to put a sunset date on
projects that have been determined to be complete, but no action has been
taken on them in a long period of time. Many land use applications have been
submitted and determined to by complete by the City. However, many of these
applications have had no activity for months to years and are vested to the
codes and regulations in place at time of complete application (some as old as
2006). This docket item would add provisions to Title IV that would allow, with
proper notice, closing of land use applications that have not seen action for an
extended period of time.
D-60: Hearing Examiner Site Visits - Currently, the Hearing Examiner seldom
visits site and there are benefits that could result in his decision when able to
conduct physical site visits. The current code does not specifically authorize
site visits to occur. While no amendment to the code is necessary at this time,
the Hearing Examiner is authorized to conduct site visits as part of the
Examiner's decision making process.
D-62: Extension Approvals - Ensure that subdivision approvals are covered
under the code that extends land use decisions and removal of the sunset date
of 12/31/2010.
D-63: Center Downtown Zone - The term "Downtown Core" should be "Center
Downtown Zone."
D-64: Land Use Applications and SEPA Mitigation Conditions - RCW requires
that an appeal of a mitigation condition be combined with the appeal of
specific governmental action. RMC does not have a section incorporated by
reference or similar code, requiring an amendment.
The committee further recommended that the ordinances regarding this
matter be presented for first reading.
