SUBJECT/TITLE: Dissolving Renton Library Advisory Board
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Refer to Community Services Committee
DEPARTMENT: Community Services Department
STAFF CONTACT: Kelly Beymer, Administrator
EXT.: 6617
FISCAL IMPACT SUMMARY:
--None--
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The members of the Renton Library Advisory Board discussed at great length(over 8 months) their role and
purpose. The board was formed to transition from a City-run library to being operated by the King County
Library System (KCLS), and through the construction of both new libraries. With the completion of these
processes, the board feels they do not have a purpose and what they do duplicates what the KCLS boards
provides. At the January 16, 2019 Renton Library Advisory Board meeting the members voted to dissolve the
board, repealing Chapter 2-13 of the Renton Municipal Code.

VI. CITY REPORT/Kelly Beymer
Kelly Beymer noted that Sunset Neighborhood Park is in the 90% Design stage of Phase 2
(completion of Park). Phase 2 is where the playground equipment and the activity portion of
the project is installed. Lynne King inquired as to whether the City plans to reopen the
restrooms with the expansion to the park. Kelly indicated that the restrooms will be
reopened once activity in the park increases. Currently there is no activity in the park other
than the non-appropriate behavior. Once the park is established, the restrooms will be on
the regular schedule for opening in the mornings and closing at night .
Laurie Beden asked if Coulon Park was operated on a similar schedule (opening in the
morning and closing at night). Kelly noted that Coulon Park is slightly different in that they
have posted hours for the Park, thus the Park is closed at a specific time and restrooms closed
at that time. Part of the issue at Coulon is getting cars out of the Park at posted times. It is
also noted on signs at the gate to call 911 if your car is locked in the park to have Police let
them out.

Kelly informed the board that the Parks Planning and Natural Resources Division is currently
working on updating the Parks, Recreation and Natural Areas Plan. This plan was last
adopted in 2011 and is due to be updated. This plan looks at where we currently are and
twenty years out; it also involves Community input. They will be working with the recreation
community and will also have a steering committee. By becoming certified this helps with
eligibility for grants.
Kim Unti asked when the City plans on tearing down the Highlands Shopping Center. It is now
empty and she thought the original plan was to tear it down as soon as possible once it was
empty. Kelly indicated there was no confirmation on the contractor to date.
Lynne King also asked if there was any news on 200 Mill. Kelly mentioned that it is the same
group who worked on the Second and Main Housing Project. There is no definite news to
date, however negotiations continue. There is also discussion about the developer coming in
and taking over the leases. This would have to go through Council for approval.
VII. KCLS REPORT/Amy Eggler
Amy Eggler emailed the KCLS monthly report to the Library Advisory Board members and city
staff. The main topic for the month was safety and security at Renton and Renton Highlands
Libraries and some changes that have been made to ensure a safe environment for staff and
patrons.
KCLS hired a private security guard who is currently at the Renton location; however will be
working at Renton Highlands as well 1-2 days a week. The goal is to have a random security
presence that will encourage patrons to follow the code of conduct and hopefully eliminate
unwanted behaviors. KCLS also moved some magazine shelving to open up sight lines and
will be replacing soft seating along the bridge deck with tables and chairs in order to
discourage some of the congregating that is happening there. Another change is that they
are keeping the bathroom doors open to help reduce traffic in them.
The KCLS board approved a full time social worker position in the 2019 Budget. This position
will be based in the Central Region and report to Community Conduct Coordinator Melissa
Munn. This position will be based in Renton and serve as a resource to library patrons and
also to the KCLS staff who often have to navigate challenging situations, such as families with
small children experiencing homelessness or violent outbursts from patrons.
Discussion followed regarding the new improvements. Amy Eggler noted that she had done a
quick count of the people in the library prior to today’s meeting and there were 100 people in
the Library. Amy also indicated that the new security guard’s role is to support the KCLS staff.
They still rely on KCLS staff to be the first line of engagement with library patrons and it is the
security guard’s role to provide support and make sure the code of conduct is being followed.

Laurie Beden inquired about the new Social Worker Position. Amy noted that there was a
pilot program in Auburn. They are having meetings with staff to review history and talk about
what works. Renton was nominated with three locations and communities that could benefit
from this position. The position closes next week and they are hoping to fill the position by
the end of February or March. Kelly indicated she would forward this information on to the
Mayor and Bob Harrison.
Amy Eggler also mentioned that they had a fire reported under the bridge (Cedar River). Kelly
Beyer stated that the Parks Division continues to work with Police to post homeless
encampments. She also noted that the Public Works Division will be completing some more
bridge work in 2019/2020 on Houser (under 405), Williams and Wells. In coordination with
Community Services, we will be utilizing a deterrent called “shotcrete” – pouring concrete
into cones and sharp shapes which makes it hard for the homeless to use areas. Last year
alone the City spent over $20,000 to clean up under Houser bridge.
VIII. OLD BUSINESS
Review/Edit Bylaws for Renton Library Advisory Board – Kim Unti started the conversation
noting that she had provided some suggestions for changes.
Lynne King interrupted stating that she wanted to make a motion prior to discussing changes
to the Bylaws. Lynne King made a suggestion that we terminate this Board. During the last
meeting in October, the board had a discussion to justify having a Renton Library Advisory
Board. Even after discussion of the value of the board members, she feels they still struggle
to have any kind of purpose. If the board is going to terminate then there is no reason to
change the Bylaws.
Laurie Beden requested that the motion be tabled to have a discussion. She also wanted to
make comments regarding whether or not the board should be dissolved. When the Library
Advisory Board was first formed there was a very clear purpose for the board. Once the two
libraries were built and those missions were completed the board members struggle with a
valid purpose. Reaching out to the communities is part of what the board does, but this feels
like it is duplicate of what KCLS does and duplicate to the City staff reaching out through
programming, etc. The board really does not have a good value or clear mission.
Laurie provided a typed document to board members and city staff with her recommendation
to dissolve the board. She also indicated that the examples she provided are not causes but
symptomatic of the board not having value.
Jaime Greene added that she too felt that it might be time for the board to dissolve. She
noted that last December at the planning meeting for 2018 Goals the board members
struggled to establish any real goals. Jaime noted that sometimes Advisory Boards are
established and serve a purpose for a time, but then dissolve when no longer needed. Are we
“meeting to meet” with no real function? She feels the board receives great information

from the City and KCLS, but it feels like the board is not doing anything. Jaime stated that she
could not finish out a 5-Year Term as the board currently functions.
Kim Unti asked what might be helpful from the Library Board; would it be helpful for the
committee to meet around a project or issue (more of a project specific approach).
Kelly Beymer stated from the City’s perspective being an ambassador (good will) is not the
only value provided. Advisory Boards (such as the Parks Commission) provide
recommendations to the staff and Council for specific plans or projects and boards
sometimes have insight on how these plans affect the community. Kelly also agreed that now
that the library system is under KCLS it does affect the way that the City Library Advisory
Board operates. The Renton Library Advisory Board was a functional board for a while and
the City wants to commend all board members for that.
It was suggested that the Renton Library Advisory Board could become a standing committee.
The City could reconvene members and bring them together when needed for specific
projects. Running ideas past the members; using them as a sounding board, help advocate
operations and run ideas past them for potential issues that need to be addressed. More
project specific type of involvement.
Lynne King stated that she does not personally like the idea of a standi ng committee. She
does not want her name on a list to just hold in place and still be doing nothing. This would
not be any better than dissolving the board.
Amy Eggler also mentioned that there are issues where the Library may need advocacy. The
upcoming changes at the City with elections, etc. could bring significant changes.
Lynne King suggested an “ad hoc” advisory board (not a standing committee). Bring together
a group of professionals (or community members) for a given purpose or project specific task.
Lynne also said she would like to propose that the current Library Advisory Board Members
maintain the little free “Take & Read” library at the Renton Community Center (RCC), if it was
acceptable to City staff that they continue to maintain this space. Kelly and Maryjane
confirmed that there should not be a problem with the board maintaining the RCC free
library; just continue to communicate with city staff at the Renton Community Center or
contact Maryjane.
Erica Richey re-iterated that the board members never found a fit for what the purpose of the
advisory board should be after the two libraries were built and established under KCLS. She
still feels one of the challenges going forward is the flow of information between KCLS, the
community, and City staff. Some method of getting better quality feedback and putting local
knowledge to good use is needed. She indicated that she would be comfortable making the
advisory board a “standing” committee. However, she is not eligible to serve another term

because she has served the maximum years stated in the bylaws without a break for at least
one year.
Laurie Beden also added that there is a need for more diversity among the advisory board
members. This should be a consideration if the City uses an ad hoc committee for specific
projects. Kim Unti added that she felt a 5-year commitment is too much for an advisory
board.
Lynne King made a motion to dissolve the Renton Library Advisory Board. Laurie Beden
seconded. All were in favor, motion carried, all board members voted to approve
dissolution of the Renton Library Advisory Board.
Kim Unti asked if there was any further discussion on the matter. Erica Richey indicated that
if they are not ready to change the direction of the board then it was probably best to
dissolve it. Laurie Baden is divorcing her recommendation for dissolution of the board from
her personal decision to resign, should the board continue in its current form. Amy Eggler
asked the question, what would it look like; where would the board go from here? Board
members commented that they did not know; without a defining purpose they do not have
an answer to that question. Kelly also commented that the initiation of the board was for a
specific reason to move from City owned Libraries to the King County Library System. The
Library Advisory Board was formed to help advocate this transfer of services ; to be involved in
the public interaction and to be liaisons between City staff; KCLS, and the community.
Kim Unti asked KCLS if the City of Renton would be the only city that does not have their own
advisory board in this region. Amy Eggler said “No”, there are others that do not have
boards.
Kelly Beymer stated that she would let the Mayor know about the motion to dissolve this
advisory board. Kelly also indicated that she has already had a conversation with the Mayor
regarding this concern from previous board discussions. The Mayor is and will be supportive
of their decision. Kelly will find out what the next steps are for formal dissolution of this
board, i.e. - how to notify Mayor, City Clerk’s office and City Council process and whether
letters of resignation are required in this instance.
Kim Unti amended the motion to dissolve the Library Advisory Board as follows: The
Renton Library Advisory Board members encourage the City and KCLS to work together to
determine when an Ad hoc Committee should be formed around project specific needs.
Jaime Greene seconded the amended motion. All were in favor, motion approved.
Kelly Beymer will check on final specifics and whether board members will be required to
submit a letter of resignation. Kelly also advised that the Mayor was out of the office until
next Wednesday or Thursday, so it might take a few days before she can provide additional
information to the board members.
