AGENDA ITEM #3. a)
V Denis Law Mayor
Proclamation
Whereas, our success as a community depends on helping every child succeed in school and reach
their full potential in life, and we realize that young people need a solid foundation of support to
help them become well-educated, confident, and productive citizens; and
Whereas, Communities In Schools is the only dropout -prevention program in the nation proven to
increase graduation rates, and this research shows that mentoring has beneficial and long-term
effects on youth by increasing their chances of high school graduation and college attendance, and
decreasing the likelihood of substance abuse and other risky behaviors; and
Whereas, thousands of Renton's children are in need of a caring adult mentor in their lives, and
closing this mentoring gap will require more investment, partnerships, and volunteers ready to
make a difference in a child's life; and
Whereas, National Mentoring Month is an opportunity to raise public awareness of the
importance of mentoring, recognize the dedicated individuals who serve as mentors, and
encourage more citizens to help build a brighter future for Renton's youth through mentoring; and
Whereas, the core values of Communities In Schools of Renton are equity, opportunity, and
collaboration, and they are in schools to remove barriers, create opportunities, and help kids stay
in school;
Now, therefore, I, Denis Law, Mayor of the City of Renton, do hereby proclaim January 2019 to be
NationaC�Vtentoring Month
in the City of Renton in tribute to the many dedicated individuals who volunteer their time,
compassion, and talents to mentor young people, and I encourage all citizens to join me in this
special observance and to consider giving back to our community as mentors.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the City of Renton to be
affixed this 14th day of January, 2019.

CAMERA REGISTRATION PROGRAM
The Renton Police Department is looking
to collaborate with local businesses and
homeowners to implement a new crime
prevention program that will allow residents and
business owners to help solve crime and assist in
lowering incidents of criminal activity.
By registering your external business or personal
camera locations, you can help the police
department protect our community in its crime
prevention efforts. The registration process is
fast and simple!
HOW TO REGISTER
Visit the City of Renton's website at
rentonwa.gov/crp. Fill out the required fields
on the registration form and hit "send." Your
information will automatically populate the
location of your cameras onto a city map that
only Renton Police can view.
Please Note: Registering your information does
not provide the Renton Police with direct access
to your camera system. This information may
be utilized by law enforcement personnel who
are investigating a crime in the vicinity of where
your camera is located.

HOW IT WORKS
Many business owners and residents currently
operate cameras at their businesses or homes.
However, as crimes occur nearby, they are
not always aware that their system may have
captured information that could help solve a
crime. Without direct contact in the area, police
officers are generally not always aware who may
have this potentially vital information which can
help keep our community safer.
The Renton Police Department is asking residents
and businesses to register their external privately -
owned camera systems. As the Renton Police
responds to criminal incidents in the city, they
may be able to use information or footage
gathered from the cameras to assist in the
apprehension and prosecution of the criminals
involved.
BENEFITS OF REGISTERING YOUR CAMERA
The Camera Registration Program could help
assist the police department to quickly identify
nearby cameras that may have captured criminal
activity. After registering your camera, you would
only be contacted by the Renton Police if there
was a criminal incident that occured in proximity
to your camera's field of vision. If necessary,
Renton Police may request to view your camera
footage in order to assist in the investigation.
TERMS OF USE
The goal of the program is to deter crime and
promote public safety through collaboration
between the Renton Police and the community
we serve. Accordingly, all registrants agree to the
following terms and conditions:
The City of Renton is required to comply
with the Public Records Act RCW 42.56.
Therefore, any and all information
submitted or provided to the city,
including personal information, may be
subject to public disclosure as a public
record.
If necessary, police personnel may request
a copy of video captured by your
camera, which could assist in the
investigation of a crime.
Any footage containing or related to
criminal activity may be collected by the
Renton Police Department for use as
evidence during any stage of a criminal
proceeding.
Under no circumstances shall registrants
interpret that they are acting as an agent
and/or employee of the City of Renton
and/or the Renton Police Department.
If necessary, the Renton Police Department
will contact you directly, using the
information provided on your camera
registration form, to request the
appropriate video.
You may withdraw from the program
at any time by notifying the Community
Programs Unit at 425-430-7521 or
cparks@rentonwa.gov.
The Renton Police Department will remcbe
you from the program within five businEQ
days. However, previously submitted Z
information, mapping and videos will O
remain part of the record and subject n
to the Public Records Act and criminal
proceedings. m
By submitting this information, the cam
registrant understands and agrees to th It
above policy and terms of use.

The Take Me Home Program was developed by
the Pensacola (Florida) Police Department and
is a free service designed for individuals with
autism, Down syndrome, developmental or
cognitive disabilities. It is also intended to assist
senior citizens who suffer from dementia or
Alzheimer's.
A lost child or adult with a cognitive disability
may become disoriented or act in a manner that
could be misinterpreted by first responders.
Registration in Take Me Home will help police
and fire crews calm these situations.
If your loved one has gone missing and you
are registered, the Take Me Home database
immediately provides a photo and description to
police so they can search more effectively.
Take Me Home is voluntary for citizens
who participate, and all information is kept
confidential.

About
The Take Me Home Program is a database
developed by the Pensacola Police Department
for people who may need special assistance if
they are alone or in times of emergency. This kind
of assistance may be required if the person is
unable to speak or properly identify themselves
or if they become disoriented or act in a manner
that could be misinterpreted by first responders.
The system includes a current digital picture,
demographic information and caregiver contacts.
If a person registered in the system is
encountered by a police officer, the officer can
query the database, searching by name, physical
description or unique characteristics. Once their
record has been located, the officer has the
information at -hand to appropriately assist the
person.
Take Me Home is voluntary
TAKE ME for citizens who participate
and all information is kept
confidential
How does it work?
The information from the registration form is
placed in a database that can be accessed
anytime by officers in the Renton Police
Department. If officers locate someone who
cannot communicate where he or she lives, they
can search the database by description and
return the person to their loved ones.
The system also works in reverse: if a loved one
goes missing, their picture and description is
immediately available.
The Renton Police Department commits to
gathering and maintaining individual enrollment
records for this program. Families or individuals
can contact the Community Programs Unit for a
registration form to get the process started for
their loved one. Information gathered includes:
Recent photo
Height and weight
Characteristics
Locations frequented
Emergency contact information
Testimonial
Devyn is known as a "runner" and despite his
parents' best efforts, he sometimes escapes from
home. Devyn was playing in the fenced -in yard;
in seconds he climbed the fence and took off.
When his father, John, realized he was missing,
he called 9-1-1. When he gave Devyn's name to
the operator, she reported that the police had
already picked Devyn up and he was on his way
back home.
Even though Devyn is non-verbal, with the Take
Me Home Program, the first responders knew
exactly who he was and where he lived.
Because Devyn's parents enrolled him in the
program, if he goes missing, his information a�g
photograph are immediately available to poli(g,
"I continue to keep a close watch on him, but Z
feel comfortable in the fact that if he does 0
manage to escape, police in our city will kno>
who he is along with a description of where h"
lives. This is a program that all families of spec
needs loved ones should take advantage of."

On June 24, 2018 City Council held a public hearing in the matter of the proposed Wolf Woods Annexation.
Following that public hearing, Council accepted the 60% petition and authorized the Administration to forward
a Notice of Intent to the King County Boundary Review Board (BRB). On November 6, 2018, the BRB issued a
Closing Letter for Completed Action indicating its approval of the annexation. The next step in the annexation
of this area is for Council to hold a second public hearing in the matter of zoning. Following that public
hearing, the Council may adopt the ordinance annexing the Wolf Woods area and the ordinance establishing
zoning. City departments conducted a review of the annexation proposal and all departments indicated that
the annexation represents a logical extension of their services and raised no concerns.

SUBJECT/TITLE: Interlocal Agreement to Support Regional Economic Development
(Startup425)
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Refer to Planning & Development Committee
DEPARTMENT: Community & Economic Development Department
STAFF CONTACT: Cliff Long, Economic Development Director
EXT.: 6591
$30,000
In 2017, the cities of Bellevue, Issaquah, Kirkland, Redmond, and Renton, embarked on an experiment to
support the creation and expansion of new businesses on the Eastside. Their collective interest in supporting
startups and small businesses reflects their desire to support economic empowerment for individuals and
generate strong economic impacts that support the broader community.
In diverse ways (Comprehensive Plans, Economic Development Strategies, etc.), the partner cities share a
common goal to support the growth of local small businesses as a means to advance job creation and create
new opportunities for residents. Developing and maintaining a resilient startup ecosystem is a long-term
economic development strategy that helps add jobs and additional tax revenue to City budgets, which in turn
supports robust service delivery to residents, visitors, and businesses.
The program currently functions at a subsistence level as an informal partnership between five distinct
municipal entities. Bellevue acts as the Administrative Partner, and supplements funding and staffing with
support from the current Port of Seattle Economic Development Grant.
The Partners have expressed an interest in developing additional programming, doing more in-depth
community engagement, and long-term strategic planning. These functions require additional staff bandwidth.
Further, future success is dependent on the continued support of the Cities' leadership and economic
development programs, which currently have an unwritten cooperative agreement.
An interlocal agreement will formalize the relationship between the partner cities and further the goals of
Startup 425, benefit the general public served by the cities, and enable the cities to provide financial support
toward those ends.

SUBJECT: Startup 425 Interlocal Agreement to Support Regional
Economic Development
ISSUE:
Should the City Council approve the adoption of an interlocal agreement between the City
of Renton and the cities of Bellevue, Issaquah, Kirkland and Redmond to establish a
cooperative effort to support regional economic development and authorize the Mayor to
execute the agreement?
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Council: (1) approve the interlocal agreement between the
cities of Bellevue, Issaquah, Kirkland, Redmond and Renton that will formalize the
cooperative effort to support a robust entrepreneur and small business ecosystem on the
Eastside; and (2) authorize the Mayor to execute said agreement in the same form.
BACKGROUND:
In 2017, the cities of Bellevue, Issaquah, Kirkland, Redmond, and Renton (the "Partners"),
embarked on an experiment to support the creation and expansion of new businesses on
the Eastside. Their collective interest in supporting startups and small businesses reflects
their desire to support economic empowerment for individuals and generate strong
economic impacts that support the broader community.
In diverse ways (Comprehensive Plans, Economic Development Strategies, etc.), the
Partners share a common goal to support the growth of local small businesses as a means
to advance job creation and create new opportunities for residents. Developing and
maintaining a resilient startup ecosystem is a long-term economic development strategy
that helps add jobs and additional tax revenue to City budgets, which in turn supports
robust service delivery to residents, visitors, and businesses.

Additionally, the last two economic cycles have shown an acceleration of "creative
destruction" where outmoded business models are disrupted by firms that are on the
leading edge of innovation. Once iconic companies like Washington Mutual, Blockbuster
Video, Borders Bookstores, RadioShack, and Xerox have ceased operations. At the same
time, copious amounts of new commercial space continue to go up across the Eastside.
Startup 425 can support the long-term health of the cities' economies by cultivating the
next generation of office and retail tenants to step in as job creators as legacy businesses
are disrupted.
Based on conceptual discussions, the Partners have expressed a common interest to grow
the Startup 425 program into a self-sustaining, deep -engagement program. That type of
well-rounded program would support economic development broadly across the Eastside,
and specifically add capacity to support small, local businesses at a time when many are
under stress due to structural changes in the economy. Additional staff capacity and
expertise are necessary to achieve the partners' goals. Below is a status check on current
operations, as well as options and recommendations for how to develop a long-term plan.
Current Status
1 FTE Manager at 1/4 time
1 FTE Analyst at 1/4 time
An average of 10 hours per quarter of staff time per partner city
The program currently functions at a subsistence level as an informal partnership between
five distinct municipal entities. Bellevue acts as the Administrative Partner, and
supplements funding and staffing with support from the current Port of Seattle Economic
Development Grant.
Current staffing levels provide sufficient bandwidth to sustain the 425 Foundations series,
maintain the program website, produce infrequent one-time workshops, and convene
quarterly group meetings. The current level of programming is low value -add and not a
significant revenue source.
The Partners have expressed an interest in developing additional programming, doing
more in-depth community engagement, and long-term strategic planning. These functions
require additional staff bandwidth. Further, future success is dependent on the continued
support of the Cities' leadership and economic development programs, which currently
have an unwritten cooperative agreement.
Conceptual End State
Through various discussions and meetings, the Partners have articulated a desire for
Startup 425 to evolve into a self-sustaining program with the following characteristics:
1. Dedicated staff (2+)
2. Formal written agreement among the partners
3. Financially sustainable
AGENDA ITEM #8. c)
Don Persson, Council President
Page 3 of 3
January 2, 2019
a. Not more than 50% grant funded
b. Secured and dedicated revenue streams
c. Minimal municipal funds
4. Incorporated or transferred to another non-profit that is separate from the
municipalities.
With a right -sized level of support, Startup 425 can complete research on best practices
across the country, develop a long-term operations model, and development products and
partnerships that generate revenue to support a self-sustaining program. Formalizing the
relationship by an interlocal agreement will support the goals of Startup 425 and enable
the Partners to provide financial support toward those ends.
CONCLUSION:
As outlined in the 2019-2024 Business Plan, the City of Renton is dedicated to promoting
economic vitality and strategically positioning Renton for the future. The City's goals to
recruit and retain businesses to ensure a dynamic, diversified employment base and to
nurture entrepreneurship and foster successful partnerships with businesses and
community leaders are reflected in the mission of the Startup 425 program. The program
lowers the barriers to entry for non-traditional and first-time founders; keeping the
business ecosystem on the Eastside diverse, encouraging spontaneous collaboration, and
providing pathways to prosperity for the whole community.
City Staff does not possess the hands-on experience and strong community connections
necessary to deeply understand the problems affecting the Eastside's small business
community. Many of the questions facing Startup 425—like funding model, customer base,
and program niche —are best left to experts, who deeply understand the small business
process, existing service providers, and community needs. The interlocal agreement
provides access to tools and resources that experienced workers, students, and
entrepreneurs need that is beyond the current capacity of City Staff.

WSDOT is requesting a temporary construction easement for the Fawcett South property. The compensation
for the temporary take is set at $1,000. WSDOT is requesting a right-of-way take of a portion of the Fawcett
East property. The acquisition compensation is set at $20,000. Due to using grant funds in part to purchase the
Fawcett East property, the City is required to reimburse King County in the amount of 50% of the acquisition
compensation because the property taken by WSDOT will be converted from open space use to right-of-way
use. Because compensation is set at $20,000, $10,000 is the reimbursable amount due to King County.
The Washington State Department of Transportation is planning improvements to 1-405 between SR 167 and
NE 6th Street in Bellevue, known as the 1-405 Renton to Bellevue Widening and Express Toll Lanes Project.
They are currently finishing the preliminary design, environmental and right-of-way phases of the project and
are scheduled to release a request for proposals to design -build contractors in November 2018. The project
includes the total reconstruction of the 1-405 and NE 44th Street Interchange (Exit 7). The City owns two
properties near the interchange improvements that will be impacted: one property on the west side of 1-405
formerly referred to as the Fawcett South property, and one property on the east side of 1-405 formerly
referred to as the Fawcett East property.
WSDOT is requesting a temporary construction easement for the Fawcett South property. The compensation
for the temporary take is set at $1,000. WSDOT is requesting a right-of-way take of 45,225 square feet and
leaving the City with the remainder of the parcel comprising 276,905 square feet according to the WSDOT
ROW Plan dated April 21, 2006 for the Fawcett East property. The acquisition compensation is set at $20,000.
Due to using grant funds in part to purchase the Fawcett East property, the City is required to reimburse King
County in the amount of 50% of the acquisition compensation because the property taken by WSDOT will be
converted from open space use to right-of-way use. Because compensation is set at $20,000, $10,000 is the
reimbursable amount due to King County.

impacted: one property on the west side of 1-405 formerly referred to as the Fawcett
South property, and one property on the east side of 1-405 formerly referred to as the
Fawcett East property.
This information was previously submitted for review to the Council on April 26, 2018 in
the Agenda Bill for the WSDOT Interlocal Agreement GCB2890 for Mitigation of Impacts
to Section 4(f) City Park Properties and Professional Services Agreement with Otak, Inc.
for Preliminary Design and Permitting Work for the May Creek Trail Project. At that
time, the description and details of the properties were shown and stated that these
would be brought forward for Council's review and approval.
Temporary Construction Easement
The Temporary Construction Easement is located on the property previously referred to
as the Fawcett South property. This property was acquired by the City in December
2017. WSDOT is requesting a temporary construction easement totaling 2,878 square
feet of the total parcel amount of 357,673 square feet. The compensation for the
temporary take is set at $1,000.00. The legal description, exhibit and documents
provided in the WSDOT packet have been previously reviewed by City staff. The
compensation will be deposited in GL316.000000.005.395.10.00.000 SALE OF GENERAL
FIXED ASSETS.
Warranty Deed — Right -of -Way Take
The Warranty Deed area is located on the property previously referred to as the Fawcett
East property. This property was acquired by the City in 2015 in part using King County's
Conservation Futures Levy funds through two grant amendments to the interlocal
agreement CAG-90-029 originally executed on June 5, 1990. WSDOT is requesting a
right-of-way take of 45,225 square feet and leaving the City with the remainder of the
parcel comprising 276,905 square feet according to the WSDOT ROW Plan dated April
21, 2006. The acquisition compensation is set at $20,000. The legal description, exhibit
and documents provided in the WSDOT packet have been previously reviewed by City
staff. The compensation will be deposited in GL316.000000.005.395.10.00.000 SALE OF
GENERAL FIXED ASSETS.
Due to using grant funds in part to purchase the Fawcett East property, the City is
required to reimburse King County in the amount of 50% of the acquisition
compensation because the property taken by WSDOT will be converted from open
space use to right-of-way use. Because compensation is set at $20,000, $10,000 is the
reimbursable amount due to King County. The full compensation amount will be paid to
the City and then a funds transfer will occur from the City to King County. The
compensation will be deposited in GL316.000000.005.395.10.00.000 SALE OF GENERAL
FIXED ASSETS. Due to funding restrictions with the original funding source, the

placed on a Brady list, or that the officer's name may otherwise
be subject to disclosure pursuant to Brady.
16.3.1. The provisions of subsection 16.3. shall not prohibit
the City from taking punitive action, denying a promotion

and the Guild Representative in writing of his/her
decision and the reasons therefore within fifteen (15)
calendar days thereafter.

thereafter. Consideration of the issue shall conclude at
this point.
Step 5 If the grievance has not been settled by the Mayor,
either party may submit the matter to arbitration. In
any case, the matter must be referred to arbitration
within ninety (90) days from conclusion of the fifteen

arbitrator will be selected jointly by both parties. If the
parties cannot agree on an arbitrator, they will request

Association (AAA) and alternately strike names, if
necessary, to pick an arbitrator. The arbitrator selection

When an employee or the Guild appeals a grievance to
arbitration, such appeal shall be made in writing and
shall constitute an election of remedies and, to the
extent allowed by law, a waiver of any and all rights by
the appealing employee or the Guild to litigate or
otherwise contest the appealed matter in any court or
other available forum.

of remedies and said employee shall be barred from pursuing the
issue in any other forum including, but not limited to, the Civil
Service Commission.
ARTICLE 19 — PERFORMANCE OF DUTY
Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to give an
employee the right to strike, and no employee shall strike or

Regulations shall be resolved as set forth herein. It is further
understood that (a) to the extent the labor agreement does not
address a matter (e.g., discipline, seniority, layoffs, etc.) and Civil
Service does, then Civil Service shall prevail; (b) to the extent the
labor agreement does address a matter (e.g., discipline, seniority,
layoffs, etc.) and Civil Service also does so, the labor agreement
shall prevail. The Employer and Guild otherwise retain their
statutory rights to bargain changes in Civil Service Rules and
Regulations (i.e. changes initiated after the effective date of this
agreement) for employees in the bargaining unit. Upon receiving
notice of such proposed change(s) from the Civil Service

bargain any issues arising out of the implementation of the Fair

regarding Article20, Retention of Benefits. Statutory provisions
for resolution of impasses reached in collective bargaining, and
contractual provisions for resolution of grievances arising out of
such FLSA issues shall apply.
ARTICLE 23 — ENTIRE AGREEMENT
23.1. The Agreement expressed herein in writing constitutes the
entire agreement between the parties, and no oral statement
shall add up to or supersede any of its provisions.
The parties acknowledge that each has had the unlimited right
and opportunity to make demands and proposals with respect to
any matter deemed a proper subject for collective bargaining.
The results of the exercise of that right are set forth in this
Agreement. Therefore, except as otherwise provided in this

Agreement each voluntarily and unqualifiedly agrees to waive
the right to oblige the other party to bargain with respect to any
subject or matter not specifically referred to or covered in this
Agreement.

procedural steps and/or time limits should be modified. Any
agreement to modify the procedural steps and/or time limits
shall be in writing. In the event that no provision is made to

SUBJECT/TITLE: Project Acceptance: Kennydale Lakeline Sewer Improvement Phase II
CAG-18-110 with Ballard Marine Construction, LLC
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Council Concur
DEPARTMENT: Utility Systems Division
STAFF CONTACT: John Hobson, Wastewater Utility Engineer
EXT.: 7279
The original contract amount was $910,030 and the final contract amount is $949,168.37, an increase of
$39,138.37 due to one change order. The project was funded through the Wastewater Utility Capital
Improvement Program budget for the Kennydale Lakeline Sewer Improvement Project (426.465512). There is
sufficient funding in the budget to cover the approved change order.
The Kennydale Lakeline Sewer Improvement Phase II Project was awarded to Ballard Marine Construction, LLC
on June 11, 2018. Project construction began on September 24, 2018 and was completed on November 30,
2018.
The project consisted of:
• Cleaning approximately 2,100 linear feet of 8" diameter lakeline sewer.
• CCTV inspection of approximately 2,650 linear feet of the lakeline sewer.
• Removal of approximately 1 ton of material from the lakeline sewer system.
• Testing on the sewer to help determine its remaining useful life.
During project construction the following change order was issued:
• Change Order No. 1 for $84,480.37 for increased work and materials necessary to set up a temporary
sewer bypass system at one of the temporary cleaning manholes. The temporary system was needed
as the level of Lake Washington was lowered in September and the contractor's barge could not reach
the existing sewer main to set the cleaning manhole.
A. Notice of Completion of Public Works Contract
Accept the Kennydale Lakeline Sewer Improvement Phase II Project CAG-18-110 and authorize release of the
retainage bond after 60 days, once all the required releases from the state have been obtained.
