ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Fire and Emergency Services Administrator Daniels stated that this is the fifth Fire: 2009 4th of July Wrap-up yearof Renton's fireworks ban and reported that there were a total of 134 incidents on the 4th of July, of which 97 were fireworks related, and of those, only 14 were priority calls. Chief Daniels stated that fireworks related damage is estimated at $10,000. He remarked that prior to the ban, damage was $73,000. He opined that the ban is working based on the lower amount of property damages and personal injuries. Fire: Fire Response at 900 Chief Daniels reported that a five-alarm fire occurred on June 30, 2009 at 900 Harrington Ave NE Harrington Ave. NE. He stated that the initial call was received at 8:01 p.m. and that the first units arrived on scene at 8:06 p.m. He reported that the first responders initially had difficulty locating the fire, but within minutes the fire intensified into a two-alarm blaze. Chief Daniels pointed out that the building was still under construction and that there were no fire-stops or sprinklers to keep the fire from spreading. He remarked that it took approximately two hours to extinguish the fire, and that firefighters were on scene nearly 36 hours completing their investigation. Chief Daniels explained that the Valley Com system is technically a three-alarm system, however, because two additional strike teams were called in, it became the equivalent of a five-alarm fire. He reported that 12 engine companies, nine ladder trucks, seven medical units, 11 chief officers, and 21 support personnel, totaling 126 personnel, helped to extinguish the fire. He remarked that nearly every East Side and South King County agency assisted with the event. Chief Daniels stated that minor damage occurred away from the fire due to hot embers landing on grass and fences. He reported that the fire was caused by the roofing operation and remarked that although there was a significant loss of property, the building to the north of the fire was saved and should be able to open nearly on schedule. Chief Daniels reported that there will be an opportunity for the community to ask questions and to provide feedback about the fire and the 4th of July event at a forum being held on July 14, 2009 at 6:00 p.m. at the Highlands Community Center. Discussion ensued regarding the amount of water per minute that was pumped on to the fire, the roofing operation as the likely cause of the fire, explosions of propane tanks stored on the roof, management and coordination of City and outside agency resources, dowsing nearby rooftops in an effort to keep the fire from spreading, how claims for damages are handled, and overall appreciation for the tremendous effort of all the firefighters and support personnel involved with extinguishing the fire. July 6, 2009 Renton City Council Minutes Page 196 AUDIENCE COMMENT Citizen Comment: Miller- Future of Renton Library Personnel Citizen Comment: Martinez Insufficient Room for New Solid Waste Collection Bins CONSENT AGENDA Council Meeting Minutes of 6/22/2009 CAG: 09-092, 2009 Street Overlay with Curb Ramps, Western Asphalt Vacation: Lake WA Blvd N & N 44th St ROW, Alpert International, VAC-09-001 Pat Miller (Bonney Lake), AFSCME, Local 2170 Union President, explained that the Renton Library personnel are represented by Local 2170. Expressing concern regarding their future employment, he noted that although King County Library System (KCLS) personnel are represented by a different bargaining unit of AFSCME, they are not bound by any employment collective bargaining agreements or human resources policies granted or practiced by the City of Renton. He remarked that the opinion of the union is that these City of Renton union members will not be represented in the future and will have to accept the current bargaining agreements that KCLS has in place. He stated that according to "Exhibit - A" of the proposed interlocal agreement with KCLS, these union members will not have seniority protection or be provided with the same benefits they currently enjoy as employees of the City of Renton. He also noted that many of the equivalent positions within KCLS pay at a lower rate, with fewer benefits. Mr. Miller also pointed out that under Item 5. of the proposed interlocal agreement, the City will be responsible for, and pay all the costs to develop and construct the new Main and Highlands libraries. He remarked that there appeared to be no financial limit set. MOVED BY ZWICKER, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL EXTEND THE SPEAKER'S TIME. CARRIED. Continuing, Mr. Miller opined that the City of Renton and the Renton taxpayers will be at the mercy of KCLS and that there will be no end to what it will cost to upgrade and/or build new Library facilities. He stated that he is does not believe the proposed agreement adequately addresses either this issue or the needs of the union members who currently work at the Renton libraries. (See pages 197 and 198 for further discussion on this subject.) Mark Martinez (Renton) remarked that although the new solid waste contract allows more recycling and composting opportunities, he lives in a townhome complex and does not have room to store the new bins. He also requested that the recycling bins be picked-up weekly, as they tend to become overloaded three or four days prior to their scheduled pick-up day. Items listed on the consent agenda are adopted by one motion which follows the listing. Approval of Council Meeting minutes of 6/22/2009. Council concur.

Council President Corman presented a report regarding the future of the Renton Libraries. The Committee reviewed the draft interlocal agreement with the King County Library System (KCLS) that defines the rights and obligations of the City and KCLS in the event annexation of the City into KCLS is approved by the registered voters of the City in a special election held prior to 12/31/2010. The Committee of the Whole recommended that: The interlocal agreement with the King County Library System be approved and the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to sign; The resolution recording this matter be presented for adoption; and The administration prepare an ordinance stating that it is in the best interest of the City to join KCLS to be forwarded, upon passage, to the City of Renton Library Board for their review and recommendation, and to KCLS Board of Directors for their concurrence. July 6, 2009 Renton City Council Minutes Page 198 Transportation (Aviation) Committee Transportation: 2010-2015 TIP Finance Committee Finance: Vouchers Responding to Council President Corman's inquiry, Mayor Law stated that there will be additional opportunities for discussion and negotiations with KCLS regarding employee issues after it is determined whether or not Renton voters choose to annex to the King County Library System. Council President Corman remarked that it is the intent of the Council that the current library personnel remain employed at the Renton libraries if they are annexed to KCLS. He stated that the City should take whatever precautions necessary to keep personnel in the area. He also noted that the Highlands library would likely be enlarged and not closed, if it were to become part of KCLS. Library Director Bette Anderson reported that there is a section in the proposed interlocal agreement that allows for changes or additions. She stated that KCLS could not definitively state the answer to the seniority question, as it will have to be worked out through union negotiations. She opined that KCLS' intentions are to do the best possible for Renton employees. She also stated that she was not sure if the issue would be worked out before it went to the ballot. Bill Ptacek, King County Library System, stated that their 1,200 employees are represented by the same union as the Renton library staff, only through a different bargaining unit. He remarked that although he could not guarantee that the seniority issue would be resolved prior to a vote, he would raise the issue with the union. Mr. Ptacek also suggested that Human Resources personnel from both organizations become engaged in the situation. MOVED BY CORMAN, SECONDED BY ZWICKER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT.

Councilmember Persson also explained the administrative hearing process, noting that it does not involve Council. Councilmember Parker announced that Duvall Ave. SE has been reopened.
