will be defined in the particular portion of the Contract Documents where it is used.
GC-3 INDEMNIFICATION AND HOLD HARMLESS:
A. Vendor shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Port, its Commissioners, officers,
employees, and agents (hereafter, collectively, the “Port”) from all liability, claims, damages,

the Services from the Port, claims for patent, trademark, copyright, trade or franchising
infringement, and from all claims arising from Vendors failure to comply with paragraphs GC-5,

to, subtraction from, improvement to, or maintenance of, any building, highway, road, railroad,

including moving or demolition in connection therewith, and therefore subject to Section 4.24.115

expense arises from the concurrent negligence of (1) the Port, and (2) Vendor, its agents, or its
employees, it is expressly agreed that Vendor’s obligations of indemnity under this paragraph
shall be effective only to the extent of Vendor’s negligence. Such obligations shall not be
construed to negate, abridge, or otherwise reduce any other right or obligation of indemnity which
would otherwise exist as to any person or entity described in this paragraph. This paragraph
shall not be construed so as to require Vendor to defend, indemnify, or hold harmless the Port
from such claims, damages, losses or expenses caused by or resulting from the sole negligence
of the Port.
B. In any and all claims against the Port, by any employee of Vendor, its agent, anyone
directly or indirectly employed by either of them, or anyone for whose acts any of them may be
liable, the indemnification obligation of subparagraph “A” above shall not be limited in any way by
any limitation on the amount or type of damages, compensation benefits payable by or for
Vendor, or other person under applicable industrial insurance laws (including, but not limited to
Title 51 of the Revised Code of Washington), it being clearly agreed and understood by the
parties hereto that Vendor expressly waives any immunity Vendor might have had under such

enforcing the Port’s right under this paragraph, whether or not suit was instituted.

Port of Seattle Tourism Marketing Support Program 2026-2027
Project: Experience Renton: Influencer Series
Project Description
• Project Summary & Scope of Work
The Renton Community Marketing Campaign reflects the values that make our region unique:
community, diversity, inclusivity, innovation, environmental responsibility, and pride of place.
Guided by the collaborative efforts of five key partners—the City of Renton, Renton Chamber of
Commerce, Valley Medical, Renton Technical College, and Renton School District—this
campaign aims to strengthen economic vitality, raise Renton’s profile as a top destination for
tourism and business travel, and showcase the city’s regional strengths. By connecting people
to engaging outdoor experiences, this initiative also supports the Port’s mission to foster
inclusivity and build stronger community connections.
The proposed project, “Experience Renton: Influencer Series,” builds on the launch of the
refreshed Visit Renton website (visitrenton.com) and campaign brand in February 2026. These
updated digital platforms give us tools that weren’t previously available, including influencer
partnerships, user-generated content, social media amplification, and an organized asset
library. We’re excited to share these new channels with the community and visitors alike, using
them to reach a broader audience and inspire more people to experience all that Renton has to
offer. Through authentic, high-quality storytelling, we will highlight the city’s attractions,
restaurants, outdoor recreation, cultural venues, and community events.
Central to this effort is a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. We will partner with
influencers representing BIPOC communities, local immigrant and refugee populations, youth,
and cultural leaders to help potential visitors see themselves in Renton and feel represented in
the experiences we showcase.
Scope of Work:
• Influencer Strategy & Partnership Development
• Identify and recruit a diverse group of influencers, including BIPOC communities,
immigrant and refugee populations, youth, and local cultural leaders, to
authentically showcase Renton.
• Develop partnership agreements outlining content goals, deliverables, and
alignment with DEI and community representation priorities.
• Create an influencer content calendar aligned with Visit Renton’s campaign
messaging, seasonal promotions, and key events, including shoulder-season focus.
34 of 108
• Metrics & Tracking: Track influencer reach, engagement (likes, comments, shares),
and click-throughs to the Visit Renton website. Report on influencer participation
and content deliverables.
• Digital Audience Engagement & UGC Integration
• Implement UGC campaigns to amplify authentic visitor experiences shared by
influencers and the community.
• Design social media templates for frequent posts, including event promotion,
partner highlights, and community spotlights.
• Metrics & Tracking: Measure number of UGC submissions, total social media
impressions, engagement rates, hashtag use, and website traffic driven from UGC.
• Photo & Video Asset Development
• Conduct 2–3 professional photoshoots and capture B-roll to create a robust media
library showcasing:
■ Community events and activities
■ Scenic viewpoints around Renton (waterfront, parks, downtown)
■ Residents, visitors, and influencers engaging with attractions
■ Local businesses and cultural leaders
• Produce 2–4 short-form promotional videos highlighting overnight stays, attractions,
and campaign messaging.
• Metrics & Tracking: Track usage of assets across social media, website, and
influencer channels. Monitor views, shares, and engagement for video content.
• Content Creation & Distribution
• Curate influencer-authored blogs and social content (posts, stories, reels) that
highlight dining, recreation, cultural experiences, and community events.
• Use evergreen assets to refresh website content, support long-term marketing
goals, and maximize the capabilities of the new Visit Renton site.
• Coordinate cross-channel amplification to grow audience reach and engagement
while reinforcing Renton’s commitment to inclusivity and representation.
• Metrics & Tracking: Monitor overall audience growth (followers, website traffic, page
views), social engagement, and referral traffic from influencer campaigns. Collect
qualitative feedback from partners and community members on representation and
inclusivity impact.
• Outcomes & Reporting
• Expected measurable outcomes include:
■ Increase website traffic by 15% during the campaign period
■ Achieve 50,000 total social media impressions and 5,000 engagements
through influencer and UGC campaigns
35 of 108
■ Recruit at least 6 influencers representing target DEI populations
■ Generate 20-25 pieces of UGC content showcasing Renton’s attractions and
cultural offerings
■ Increase visitation and spending in underrepresented neighborhoods and
seasonal periods (tracked through surveys, website referral data, or partner
reporting)
• Monthly reporting and analytics reviews will track progress against these metrics
and allow for campaign adjustments to maximize reach, engagement, and impact.
Economic Impact & Connection to Port Facilities:
• Target out-of-state audiences to drive visitation through Seattle-Tacoma International Airport
(SEA).
• Highlight dining, shopping, recreation, and cultural offerings to boost visitor spending in
Washington State.
• Promote visitation during shoulder season (August–October) to stabilize small business
revenue.
• Emphasize inclusive and equitable travel, supporting Port priorities.
Proposed Timeline:
• Q2 (Late April – June): Select and hire influencers; develop detailed content and engagement
plans using new website tools.
• Q3 (July – August): Conduct photo/video shoots; review influencer content; finalize evergreen
assets for social media and website.
• Q3-Q4 (August – October): Launch influencer-led campaigns; publish blogs; distribute
evergreen photo and video assets across platforms, leveraging new digital features.
Anticipated Use of Port Logo:
• The Port logo will appear on the Visit Renton website under “Partners” to acknowledge funding
support.
Support of Port Business Objectives
• Drive Out-of-State Visitors: Target key cities through influencer campaigns to encourage travel
via SEA.
• Boost Traveler Spending: Highlight Renton’s dining, shopping, recreation, and cultural offerings.
• Encourage Shoulder Season Travel: Focus on August–October visitation to maintain consistent
tourism.
• Promote Equitable Travel: Content emphasizes inclusive, accessible experiences across the
community, in alignment with Renton’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
• New Digital Channels: This project utilizes the brand-new website and brand to explore
marketing approaches previously unavailable, enabling influencer campaigns, UGC, and
content distribution in ways not previously possible.

SUBJECT/TITLE:Continued Pooling of SHB 1406 Sales Tax Credit Funds with
South King Housing and Homeless Partners (SKHHP)
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Refer to Planning & Development Committee
DEPARTMENT: Community & Economic Development
DIVISION: Planning
STAFF CONTACT: Angie Mathias
EXT.: 6576
None at this time.
In 2021, the Interlocal Agreement for SKHHP and its member cities was amended to enable collective pooling
of 1406 sales tax revenue to be transmitted to SKHHP for their expenditure. On April 12, 2021, Council
adopted Resolution 1866 authorizing the 2021 ILA and the 2021 ILA Companion Agreement. The City
executed the 2021 ILA Companion agreement following verification of the fully executed 2021 ILA on July 16,
2021.
The 2021 ILA remains in effect until it is terminated. Member parties are able to withdraw participation from
the ILA by submitting written notice to the SKHHP Executive Board. Such notice is due on or before July of the
year to become effective, 11:59 p.m. on December 31 of that year. So, if Renton wanted to discontinue
participation in the pooling of 1406 sales tax revenue with SKHHP partner cites, the SKHHP Executive Board
would need to be notified by this July.
BACKGROUND:
South King County Housing and Homeless Partners (“SKHHP”) was formed on January 1, 2019, by the
Interlocal Agreement for SKHHP South King County Housing and Homeless Partners (“2019 ILA”). Council
acted on March 4, 2019, to adopt Resolution 4372 which authorized the Mayor to sign the 2019 ILA for the
cities of Auburn, Burien, Covington, Des Moines, Federal Way, Kent, Normandy Park, Renton, Tukwila, and
King County to officially form the South King Housing and Homelessness Partners. The City of Maple Valley
and SeaTac have since become members.
The 2019 State Legislature enacted Substitute House Bill 1406 (“SHB 1406”), codified as RCW 82.14.540,
which authorizes cities and counties to recapture a portion of Washington state sales tax when it is used to
support affordable housing initiatives. On August 12, 2019, Council enacted Resolution 4386, a resolution of
intent to authorize the tax. Subsequently, Ordinance 5972 was enacted on June 15, 2020, which authorized
the recapture of the Washington state sales tax for the next 20 years.
City Council Regular Meeting
FISCAL IMPACT SUMMARY:
SUMMARY OF ACTION
38 of 108
2
On November 22, 2019, the SKHHP Executive Board adopted Resolution 2019-06 which urged each member
jurisdiction to pool tax receipts collected under SHB 1406 to the SKHHP Housing Capital
Fund. Subsequently in 2020, the cities of Auburn, Burien, Des Moines, Federal Way, Kent, Normandy Park,
and Tukwila established and entered into the Interlocal Agreement for the Purpose of Pooling Sales Tax
Receipts with SKHHP Cities to Administer Funds Under RCW 82.14.540 . On July 16 2021, Renton Council
adopted Resolution 1866 authorizing the 2021 ILA and the 2021 ILA Companion Agreement joining other
SKHHP cities in the pooling of 1406 funds to support affordable housing in South King County.
USES OF SHB 1406:
The City of Renton is authorized to impose a local state-shared sales and use tax for the next 20 years to fund
affordable or supportive housing. Uses of these tax receipts applicable to Renton are:
1. Acquiring, rehabilitating, or constructing affordable housing; and
2. Funding the operations and maintenance costs of new units of affordable or supportive housing.
The housing provided may only be provided to households whose income is at or below 60% AMI.
SKHHP HOUSING CAPITAL FUND:
The SKHHP Housing Capital Fund was established in the 2019 ILA. Under the 2021 ILA, Renton and other
jurisdictions agreed to transfer the funds to be pooled into the SKHHP Housing Capital Fund. The Housing
Capital Fund currently pools both 1406 funds and 1590 funds for awards to affordable housing projects.
Renton contributes 1406 funds to SKHHP but retains 1590 funds for use within the city. In 2023, Kent and
Covington began contributing all or a portion of their 1590 funds to SKHHP. In 2024, Maple Valley began
contributing a portion of their 1590 funds to SKHHP. The Housing Capital Fund funding guidelines include
information on available funding, funding priorities, schedule, application and review process, evaluation
criteria, eligible applicants, eligible beneficiaries, eligible and ineligible activities, and other project
requirements.
Attachment A provides a summary of the projects that have received SKHHP Capital Funding since the first
funding round in 2022.
Council’s initial recommendation when approving the pooling of 1406 funds included a directive for Staff to
provide an update and recommendation on continued pooling for 1406 funds every two years. Staff have
provided those updates and recommendations twice as directed. This year will serve as the third update
following this protocol. In 2021, when the amended ILA was adopted enabling the pooling of 1406 funds,
SKHHP was a new organization with only two years of experience and had gone through only one round of
the Capital Funding process. A cautious and measured approach to consider the continuation of
contributing the City’s 1406 funds to a regional entity on a biennial basis was prudent and appropriate.
This year will be SKHHP’s fifth round of Capital Fund allocation awards. SKHHP’s Advisory Board and
Executive Board have demonstrated stability, as well as sound measured decision making in their
recommendations for allocations of funding. They have selected projects that represent values that are
important to Renton, such as affordable homeownership, good geographic distribution, and equity in terms
of the households being served. Renton’s Executive Board members and staff are very consistent in
attending meetings and in taking an active role in SKHHP actions and direction. Given that SKHHP has now
been operational for eight years and has successfully administered the application, review, selection, and
award process of Renton’s pooled 1406 funds for five years, staff recommend that the biennial review be
revised to a recommendation to reconsidering the pooling when or if there are changes to the SKHHP
organization or function that differ from what is in the adopted ILA or their stated mission and objectives,
which are (from their website):

“SKHHP's Mission: South King County jurisdictions working together and sharing resources to create a
coordinated, comprehensive, and equitable approach to increasing housing stability, reducing
homelessness, and producing and preserving quality affordable housing in South King County.
Our objectives include:
Sharing technical information and resources to promote sound housing policy
Coordinating public resources to attract greater private and public investment
Providing a unified voice for South King County”
Conclusion:
SKHHP and Renton envision the Housing Capital Fund as a regional funding source invested in shared
housing solutions and increased investment in South King County.
The City of Renton’s contributions and participation in SKHHP has assisted with the establishment of this
regional fund and has contributed to thirteen affordable housing projects in the South County region.
Continued pooling of the SHB 1406 funds aligns with the City’s desire to support SKHHP and with the City’s
Business Plan, Comprehensive Plan, Housing Action Plan, and Countywide Planning Policies. Review of the
continued pooling of 1406 funding with SKHHP will be appropriate if there are changes to SKHHP
organization or functions that are not in alignment with the adopted ILA or SKHHP’s stated Mission and
objectives.

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Council: (1) continue to pool SHB 1406 sales tax credit funds
with SKHHP under the existing ILA Companion Agreement; (2) direct staff to
provide an update and recommendation if there are changes to the SKHHP
organization or function that might cause the city to reconsider pooling SHB 1406.

The 2021 ILA remains in effect until it is terminated. Member parties are able to
withdraw participation from the ILA by submitting written notice to the SKHHP
Executive Board. Such notice is due on or before July of the year to become
effective, 11:59 p.m. on December 31 of that year. So, if Renton wanted to

BACKGROUND:
South King County Housing and Homeless Partners (“SKHHP”) was formed on
January 1, 2019, by the Interlocal Agreement for SKHHP South King County
Housing and Homeless Partners (“2019 ILA”). Council acted on March 4, 2019, to
adopt Resolution 4372 which authorized the Mayor to sign the 2019 ILA for the
cities of Auburn, Burien, Covington, Des Moines, Federal Way, Kent, Normandy
Park, Renton, Tukwila, and King County to officially form the South King Housing
and Homelessness Partners. The City of Maple Valley and SeaTac have since
become members.
The 2019 State Legislature enacted Substitute House Bill 1406 (“SHB 1406”),
codified as RCW 82.14.540, which authorizes cities and counties to recapture a
portion of Washington state sales tax when it is used to support affordable housing
initiatives. On August 12, 2019, Council enacted Resolution 4386, a resolution of
intent to authorize the tax. Subsequently, Ordinance 5972 was enacted on June
15, 2020, which authorized the recapture of the Washington state sales tax for the
next 20 years.
On November 22, 2019, the SKHHP Executive Board adopted Resolution 2019-
06 which urged each member jurisdiction to pool tax receipts collected under SHB
1406 to the SKHHP Housing Capital Fund. Subsequently in 2020, the cities of

ILA and the 2021 ILA Companion Agreement joining other SKHHP cities in the
pooling of 1406 funds to support affordable housing in South King County.
USES OF SHB 1406:
The City of Renton is authorized to impose a local state-shared sales and use tax
for the next 20 years to fund affordable or supportive housing. Uses of these tax
receipts applicable to Renton are:
1. Acquiring, rehabilitating, or constructing affordable housing; and

2021 ILA, Renton and other jurisdictions agreed to transfer the funds to be pooled
into the SKHHP Housing Capital Fund. The Housing Capital Fund currently pools
both 1406 funds and 1590 funds for award to affordable housing projects. Renton
42 of 108

contributes 1406 funds to SKHHP, but retains 1590 funds for use within the city.
In 2023, Kent and Covington began contributing all or a portion of their 1590 funds
to SKHHP. In 2024, Maple Valley began contributing a portion of their 1590 funds
to SKHHP. The Housing Capital Fund funding guidelines include information on
available funding, funding priorities, schedule, application and review process,
evaluation criteria, eligible applicants, eligible beneficiaries, eligible and ineligible
activities, and other project requirements.
Attachment A provides a summary of the projects that have received SKHHP
Capital Funding since the first funding round in 2022.

Allows the City to apply for a $500,000 grant from the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office
(RCO), Washington Wildlife and Recreation (WWRP) Local Parks program.
Requesting approval to apply for Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) Washington
Wildlife and Recreation Program Local Parks (WWRP Local Parks) grant funding in the amount of $500,000 to
support development of Northeast Renton Park. The project includes design and construction of a phased park
development project, with the initial phase focused on development of a playground, trails, viewpoint, parking
area, and interpretive features.
Northeast Renton Park will serve an area of Renton that is currently underserved by parks and outdoor
recreation opportunities and identified as a major park gap area in the 2026 Parks, Recreation, and Open Space
(PROS) Plan. Development of this park will expand access to outdoor recreation, the trail systems in Newcastle,
Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park, and connection to the natural environment in a part of the community
where these opportunities are currently limited. This project is also identified as a high priority in the 2026 PROS
Plan.
Public engagement conducted during development of the Northeast Renton Park Master Plan identified strong
community interest in trails within the park, connections with trails outside the park, and trails providing views
of natural areas.
The cost associated with design and construction of the initial phase will be refined during subsequent phases of
project development. The proposed $500,000 grant would help offset design and construction costs.
The WWRP Local Parks program requires a 50% cash match. If awarded, the City anticipates meeting this
requirement through a combination of Park Capital Improvement Program funding and other potential grant
sources.
This resolution authorizes submission of a grant application to the WWRP Local Parks program. If awarded, a
grant agreement will be brought forward to Council for review and authorization.

SUBJECT/TITLE:Bloomberg Harvard City Hall Fellow Grant Agreement and
Limited-Term Management Analyst Position
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Refer to Finance Committee
DEPARTMENT: Executive Services
STAFF CONTACT: Kristi Rowland, Deputy CAO
EXT.: 6947
The Executive Services Department has been awarded funding in the amount of up to $295,155 that
will reimburse the salary, benefits, relocation costs, and subscriptions incurred by a Bloomberg Harvard
City Hall Fellow to be placed within the Executive Services Department as a result of our ongoing
participation in the Bloomberg Harvard City Leadership Initiative. A Management Analyst (N17)
position will be added to the Executive Services Department as a limited-term position, beginning
August 1, 2026, and ending July 31, 2028. The cost of this position will be funded by this award
agreement, both of which will be included in the 2026 Q2 budget adjustment.
The Executive Services Department has been awarded a total of up to $295,155 to reimburse two years
of salary as well as costs of benefits up to 33.1% of salary, subscriptions, and a one-time relocation
stipend for a Bloomberg Harvard City Hall Fellow. Costs related to this grant, including a two-year
limited-term position (Management Analyst, N17) will be added to the Executive Services Department.
The revenue and expenditures related to this agreement and position will be included in the upcoming
2026 Q2 Budget Amendment.
Our long-standing relationship with the Bloomberg Harvard City Leadership Initiative created this
opportunity. Their City Hall Fellows program offers an opportunity for participating cities to propose an
anchor challenge to be taken on by their students. Potential fellows select projects that appeal to their
line of study and the city meets with each candidate. Matches are made by the City Hall Fellow
program coordinators. Renton was among the proposals accepted and we have been matched with a
fellow.
Our anchor challenge focuses on improving data capacity related to chronic homelessness. The Fellow
will collect, organize, and analyze multisystem data across municipal court, community court, police,
human services, public works, code enforcement, and external partners. This centralized view within
the Executive Department will strengthen how we explain and inform our decision-making to the
City Council Regular Meeting

Bloomberg Harvard City Leadership Initiative
Fellowship Participation Agreement
This Fellowship Participation Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into as of _______ (“Effective
Date”), between President and Fellows of Harvard College acting through the Bloomberg Harvard
City Leadership Initiative at the John F. Kennedy School of Government
(“HARVARD”) and the city of Renton (“CITY”). Each of HARVARD and the CITY are
sometimes referred to herein as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”
The purposes of this Agreement are (A) to state terms regarding engagements by the CITY of
Bloomberg Harvard City Hall Fellows (“Fellow”), who is a graduate of a master’s or
professional degree program at Harvard University; and (B) to provide for said Fellows to work
for the leadership team of the Mayor of the CITY for a two-year term on a specific policy area as
more fully specified in an Engagement Memorandum (the “Engagement”).
The Parties agree as follows:
1. Scope of Engagement. Each Fellow will work with the leadership team of the Mayor of the
CITY, providing general support on a specific priority area and deliverables. For each Fellow,
HARVARD and the CITY shall agree in advance on the project or policy area on which the
CITY will engage the Fellow and the expected dates of the Engagement to ensure that the
Engagement includes sufficiently meaningful and rigorous responsibilities to warrant inclusion
in the Fellowship program.
2. Supervision. The CITY will give work assignments to the Fellow and will supervise the
Fellow's work for the CITY. The Deputy Chief Administrative Officer and leadership team
will provide supervision, mentorship and guidance to help support the Fellow’s tasks,
objectives, and professional development. The CITY will provide access to all data, systems
and technology necessary for the Fellow to conduct his or her work, commensurate with such
access as CITY provides to employees of its leadership team, provided that the CITY
reserves the right to not provide access to personnel records and information if such access is
not necessary for the Fellow’s work.
To advance the goals of the Bloomberg Harvard fellowship program, HARVARD will provide at
least two trainings for the Fellow, the first at the commencement of the Engagement and a
second partway through the Engagement. So that HARVARD may receive meaningful feedback
regarding the fellowship program, the CITY supervisor overseeing the Fellow and City Hall
Fellowship staff will communicate from time to time at HARVARD’S request on the Fellow’s
mentorship and work.
In the event that HARVARD agrees to sponsor a J-1 Exchange Visitor visa and supporting J-2
visas for any Fellow hosted by the CITY, such visa sponsorship will be subject to the terms,
conditions, obligations, and restrictions set forth in Attachment A to this Agreement (the “J Visa
Sponsor Terms”).
3. Salary and Benefits; Office Facilities.

DIRECT CITY EMPLOYMENT: Provided Fellow remains in good standing, CITY will employ
the Fellow as a full-time employee of the CITY during the term of the Engagement, and shall pay
the Fellow’s salary at the same frequency and with standard cost-of-living raises as are given to
comparable CITY employees, as specified in Section 2 above. CITY shall comply with all
applicable laws, ordinances, codes and regulations of federal, state and local governments in connection
with or related to the performance of this Agreement and CITY’s employment of the Fellow. If such
grounds exist, the CITY has authority to terminate employment for cause based upon CITY
employment policies. the Fellow will be trained in employment policies and practices upon
onboarding. Termination of the fellow does not eliminate the obligation of HARVARD to reimburse
the CITY for employee salary as defined, through the last date of employment. Without limiting the
foregoing, CITY shall be responsible to comply with all applicable laws pertaining to
employee/independent contractor classification, and shall be responsible for any damages, fines or other
payments that may arise from or relate to any misclassification by CITY. CITY shall not discriminate, in
any way, against any person on the basis of race, sex, color, age, religion, sexual orientation, actual or
perceived gender identity, disability, ethnicity, or national origin, in connection with or related to the
performance of this Agreement. In no event will Harvard be deemed an employer, joint employer
or co-employer of the Fellow. HARVARD will identify candidates to CITY, but will not be
responsible for any pre-employment screening, including but not limited to performing criminal
background checks. CITY agrees that it is responsible for conducting any such pre-employment
screening as may be required for employment with CITY.
Harvard will provide a grant to the CITY in an amount not to exceed the amount specified in the
applicable Engagement Memorandum (“Grant Award”), to be paid in installments on a quarterly
basis during the period of the fellowship. The Grant Award will be used solely to reimburse the
CITY’s costs of the Fellow’s salary, inclusive of a housing stipend and benefits allowance
(“salary”), and subscriptions during the period of the fellowship. The Grant Award will be
subject to a one-time increase to reflect a standard cost-of-living increase applicable to similarly
situated CITY employees on the condition that the CITY first provides Harvard with reasonable
supporting documentation as to the amount, timing and general applicability of such increase to
similarly situated CITY employees.
The CITY will provide to Harvard a written statement of expenditures on a quarterly basis. On
or before the tenth (10th) day following the end of each quarter during the period of the
fellowship, the CITY will provide a written statement to Harvard setting forth specific amounts
expended by the CITY on the Fellow’s salary and subscriptions during the quarter just ended.
Within thirty (30) days following receipt of such written statement, Harvard will pay such
amounts to the CITY, provided that the total of all such quarterly payments shall not exceed the
maximum amount of the Grant Award stated above.
If the CITY fails to use the Grant Award as specified herein, the CITY shall immediately inform Harvard
and shall refund the unused grant amount to Harvard within 60 days of such nonuse (and, in any event,
within 60 days following Harvard’s written request). This obligation will apply whether or not failure to
use the Grant Award funds results from termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6, the Fellow
ceasing to be an employee of CITY, an act or omission of CITY, or for any other reason.
The CITY will provide the Fellow with suitable office resources, including a desk, a computer, a
phone, an email account, and appropriate access to CITY networks, servers, and printers. CITY will 74 of 108
3
also provide access to general productivity software such as word and data processing and email
programs, and such other software programs as may be appropriate for the Fellow’s work.
4. CITY Direction and Control. While conducting work for CITY, the Fellow shall at all times
be under the direction and control of the CITY. The CITY will afford comparable workplace
grievance procedures and protections as it provides similarly situated CITY employees. The
CITY will be responsible to inform the Fellow as to any applicable conflict of interest laws,
ethics rules, and public records laws and guidelines, to the extent such laws and rules apply to
the Engagement and the Fellow’s position and non-employee status within CITY. The Fellow
must complete any required training or other requirements related to his or her Engagement by
CITY. CITY will be responsible for providing appropriate orientation to the Fellow regarding
workplace rules and expectations, including providing the Fellow with a written copy of
applicable CITY policies and procedures. In no event will HARVARD be responsible for
Fellow’s compliance or non-compliance with such rules, regulations, laws or workplace policies
and procedures as may apply to the Fellow during the course of the Engagement. To the extent
permitted by law, CITY will provide the appropriate designation to Fellow such that the Fellow
will be afforded tort immunity commensurate with that applicable to CITY employees.
6. Term and Termination. This Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and remain in
effect for five (5) years after the Effective Date (“Agreement Term”) or the date on which any
then-active Engagement is completed, if later than the Agreement Term, unless sooner
terminated as provided herein. Either Party may terminate this Agreement on ninety (90) days’
prior written notice to the other Party, provided that any Fellow working for the CITY at the time
of such notice will be permitted to complete his or her Engagement and the terms of this
Agreement will continue to apply for the remainder of such Engagement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, HARVARD may terminate the fellowship award for any Fellow in the event it
determines the purposes of the fellowship are not fulfilled or in the event a Fellow elects to
withdraw from the fellowship, and the CITY may terminate a Fellow’s Engagement in the event
it determines the Engagement is no longer suitable. In such event, the Party taking action to
terminate shall provide prompt written notice to the other Party and the Fellow of such
termination. Termination of the agreement by either party will result in a separation of
employment, with earned salary and benefits paid to the fellow and costs reimbursed by
HARVARD to the CITY
The CITY and HARVARD will work together to create a successful Engagement and will
cooperate on the resolution of issues that may arise.
The provisions of Sections 4-8 and 9(e) will survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.
7. Limitation of Liability. The CITY understands and agrees that HARVARD is not
responsible for the performance, misfeasance, or non-performance by the Fellow, and does not
warrant or make any representations concerning the accuracy, completeness, suitability,
condition or benefits of the Fellow’s work, including any ideas, judgments, opinions, projections,
analyses or estimates which the Fellow may provide in the course of the Engagement. The CITY
agrees that (i) any decision the CITY may make to rely on any work product provided by the
Fellow shall be at its own risk, and the CITY shall not make, and hereby waives, any and all
claims or causes of action against HARVARD relating to, any claims, liabilities, losses, damages, 75 of 108
4
costs or expenses of any kind which the CITY may at any time sustain or incur in connection with or
arising out of any work product or the CITY’s reliance thereon or use thereof, or any other aspect of the
Engagement of the Fellow.
In no event shall CITY or HARVARD be liable to the other for any indirect, consequential,
exemplary or punitive damages whatsoever in connection with claims arising under or relating to
this Agreement, whether based upon a claim or action of contract, warranty, negligence, strict
liability, or any other legal theory or cause of action, even if advised of the possibility of such
damages.
8. Intellectual Property
The CITY shall be responsible to make arrangements directly with the Fellow in regard to
ownership of work product produced by the Fellow during the course of the Engagement, and
HARVARD shall have no responsibility in regard to any such arrangements. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the CITY shall not condition, restrict or delay the Fellow’s right to present or
publish works of authorship describing the Fellow’s experience and insights regarding the
Engagement.
9. Publicity and Use of Names. Neither Party may issue a press release or other public
announcement about this Agreement, nor may it use any name, trademark or insignia of the other
Party (or of any school, department or unit of the other Party) for promotional purposes or any
other purposes in connection with this Agreement, without the prior written approval of the other
Party, except that each Party may identify the other in any description of the Agreement in its
customary listings of activities or as may be required by law. Without limiting the foregoing, the
Bloomberg Harvard City Leadership Initiative at the Harvard Kennedy School may state on its
website that it is funding a fellowship for the Fellow to work for CITY.
10. Other Provisions.
(a) Severability. In the event that any provision or section of this Agreement shall be held to be
invalid by any court, such holding shall not affect in any respect whatsoever the validity of the
remainder of the Agreement.

been given when so delivered, sent by fax or electronic mail, or mailed.
(c) Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be liable for any delays or failures in performance due to
circumstances beyond the Party’s reasonable control.

ATTACHMENT A:
J VISA SPONSOR TERMS
This Appendix sets the terms and conditions by which Harvard will sponsor J class visas for nonimmigrant
exchange visitors to be hosted at CITY (“Host Organization”) and for their spouses and minor children.
RECITALS
A. Pursuant to and subject to the regulations set forth in 22 CFR pt. 62 (the “Regulations”), the
Department of State has established an “Exchange Visitor Program” by which certain foreign nationals
may be present in the United States for certain purposes enumerated in the Regulations, provided that a
legal entity in the United States has sponsored, and the Department of State has approved, the grant of a
J-1 visa to such persons.
B. The Department of State’s exchange visitor program implements the Mutual Educational and Cultural
Exchange Act of 1961, the purpose of which is “to increase mutual understanding between the people
of the United States and the people of other countries by means of educational and cultural exchanges.”
C. Harvard has sought designation, and the Department of State has approved Harvard’s designation, as a
sponsor of J-1 exchange visitor visas. Accordingly, Harvard administers a program by which it
sponsors visas for J-1 exchange visitors (the “Program”).
D. The Regulations entitle third-party hosts to conduct training and/or internship programs for J-1
exchange visitors sponsored by the Department of State’s designees.
E. Host Organization seeks to host J-1 exchange visitors sponsored by Harvard.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties hereto agree as follows:
1. ADDITIONAL DEFINITIONS —
1.1. Hosted J-1 Exchange Visitor means any foreign national who obtains J-1 visa status through
the Program and is hosted by Host Organization.

virtue of his/her relationship with a Hosted J-1 Exchange Visitor.
2. ARRANGEMENT —
2.1. Host Organization Requests. Host Organization may request that Harvard sponsor J class
visas for a proposed Hosted J-1 Exchange Visitor and related proposed J-2 Visitors under
the Program. In connection with such a request, Host Organization shall provide to the
Harvard International Office:
(a) all pertinent information and documentation relating to the proposed Hosted J-1
Exchange Visitor and Host Organization’s intentions to host the proposed Hosted J-1
Exchange Visitor, sufficient to establish the proposed Hosted J-1 Exchange Visitor’s
eligibility to participate in the Program;
(b) all pertinent information and documentation relating to each proposed J-2 Visitor,
sufficient to establish each said proposed J-2 Visitor’s eligibility for a J-2 visa pursuant to
the Hosted J-1 Exchange Visitor’s participation in the Program.
(c) any additional information that Harvard may have good cause to request from Host
Organization in connection with its obligations under this Agreement.
78 of 108
7
2.2. Harvard Discretion. Harvard retains full discretion to determine whether each proposed
Hosted J-1 Exchange Visitor or related J-2 Visitor is eligible to participate in the Program
and whether Harvard wishes to sponsor or extend a J class visa for said proposed Hosted J-1
Exchange Visitor or J-2 Visitor. Harvard may elect in its discretion to suspend or terminate
the process of sponsoring a visa for a proposed Hosted J-1 Exchange Visitor or J-2 Visitor at
any time prior to issuance of the visa.
3. HARVARD OBLIGATIONS. Subject to the discretion reserved above to Harvard as the
administrator of the Program, Harvard shall:

Appendix B (Project Scopes Attachments)
Building Supports for a New Model for Addressing Chronic Homelessness
Reporting to: Deputy Chief Administrative Officer
The Challenge and Context
As in many American cities, homelessness is a growing problem in Renton. Encampments in parks, such as
the areas alongside the Cedar River flowing through the city, raise public safety concerns. Renton is preparing
a marked shift to a new model for handling the situation, based on its apparent success in the neighboring
community of Auburn, where in 2024 the city made contact with 1,366 individuals, sheltered 472, and housed
205.
Currently, Renton funds dozens of service providers to independently offer shelter, behavioral and substance-
abuse treatment, job support and other services to homeless individuals, a portion of whom do not seek—or
flatly refuse—the assistance. The newmodel, which they call “compassionate accountability,” will bring most
of these services in-house. This means that the city will create a new city-run Behavioral Health Center as a
combined shelter and hub for services. People camping without authorization in public spaces will be given a
choice: go to the new center, go to jail, or go somewhere else.
City leaders are committed to delivering on the compassion part of this model by stepping up their service
offerings. To do that, they need data. For example, they need to better understand the various needs of the
chronically homeless population they intend to serve, in order to shape the precise mix of services at the
Behavioral Health Center. They want to gather data across a range of services, from law enforcement to
courts to housing—and also track individual outcomes for users of the new system—to be able to evaluate
how the model is working and make improvements over time.
Efforts to Address the Challenge
Moving to a new model for handling chronic homelessness is a key priority for Renton Mayor Armando
Pavone. The city has purchased property where the Behavioral Health Center will be built and is planned to
open in 2027. In the meantime, a substantial internal reorganization is underway. The city recently created a
new Director position within the Human Services Division to lead the effort and facilitate the cross-
departmental collaboration necessary to execute the new model. The role will be filled in early 2026 by the
creator of the Auburn model, who will oversee the current three-member team and guide its planned
expansion to include additional outreach staff as the program takes shape. Several staff will be moved into
support roles reporting to this person. More than $800,000 in existing grant funding, currently distributed
among approximately 50 organizations providing homelessness prevention and direct services, will be
consolidated into approximately a dozen grants as services are brought in-house at the Behavioral Health
Center. Additional funding generated through a taxing mechanism approved by the Renton City Council
several years ago will provide further resources, and efforts to identify and secure additional revenue sources
are ongoing.
Currently there is little data gathered to effectively prepare for this effort. Most homeless data locally is
collected at the county level, and Renton lacks city-level data on the scope, dimensions, and trajectory of the
problem. Data that does exist is tracked differently within the various agencies such as Police, Fire, Public
Works, Code Enforcement, and others who have a role in addressing homelessness. Significant effort is
required to identify relevant datasets, create consistency and governance around its collection, and bring it
together to create a shared source of cross-departmental intelligence.
Facilitating collaboration across departments will be critical for the new model to work. Data collection and
84 of 108
13
analysis will occur within the office of the Deputy Chief Administrative Officer, as that is where the city’s
data capacities for cross-departmental initiatives are housed. The data function will collaborate closely with
the new directorate being built within Human Services to lead this effort. Other internal stakeholders to be
engaged include the Mayor and City Council, and key Departments including Parks (Human Services), Legal,
Police, and Code Enforcement. Externally, King County Regional Homeless Authority and our Regional Fire
Authority will be resources and partners. The most critical stakeholders are the homeless residents to be
served under the new model, as well as community members and businesses who have been impacted by the
continuing presence of encampments.
Defining Success
Success would be building the city’s internal capacity to meaningfully reduce homelessness in Renton
through the updated service delivery model. This would include placing formerly chronically homeless
individuals into housing and connecting them to services that support autonomous living. Eventually,
residents should experience measurable community benefits, including significant reductions in
encampments, property crime, public safety concerns (such as toxic materials and behavioral issues), and
demand on first responders’ time.
In addition to resident impact, success would also include the establishment of regulatory-compliant data
governance systems, integrated datasets from multiple sources, and reporting dashboards that can inform
funding and service strategies. These data would support clear narratives and routine reporting to the public,
external partners, City Council, and staff, ultimately culminating in publicly available reporting to
demonstrate program outcomes and impact.

SUBJECT/TITLE:Project Acceptance for the Burnett Ave S and Williams Ave S
Storm System Improvement Project
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Council Concur
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
STAFF CONTACT: Troy Solly, Surface Water Utility, Civil Engineer III
EXT.: 7313
The original contract amount was $2,659,248.64 and the final amount is $2,675,326.58, an increase
of $16,077.94 (0.6%) due to underestimated backfill quantities, the addition of full depth pavement
removal and restoration over a smaller area, and minor design adjustments throughout the
project. The contract was fully funded through the Surface Water Utility Capital Improvement
Program budget for project (427.475517), and the Wastewater Utility Capital Improvement Program
budget for project (426.465526). The Surface Water Utility was awarded a Department of Ecology
water quality grant that covered $927,000.00 of stormwater costs to reduce pollutants in
stormwater runoff from the roadway.
The Burnett Ave S and Williams Ave S Storm System Improvement Project contract was awarded
to R.L. Alia Company on June 17, 2024. The contractor began construction on October 21, 2024, and
construction reached physical completion on October 22, 2025.The project consisted of:
2,660 LF of new stormwater pipe 47 new stormwater catch basins
2 new Modular Wetlands Linear
biofiltration water quality treatment facilities
1 water valve
425 LF of new wastewater pipe 1 wastewater manhole
2,220 LF of new asphalt roadway pavement 4 new curb ramps
During project construction, the following change order was issued:
Change Order No. 1 for $270,425.00 for additional trench backfills and asphalt quantities and
one new bid item for pavement removal. This Change Order was offset by reduction in some
quantities, and removal of work not deemed necessary resulting in a net increase of only
$16,077.94 over the original contract award.
The City Council accept the Burnett Ave S and Williams Ave S Storm System Improvement
Project and authorize release of retainage after 60 days once all the required releases from the
City Council Regular Meeting
