Subject Third Quarter Report
Attached is a copy of the third quarter report. This is a presentation I will provide to the
Finance Committee on October 23rd. I would like to brief the full Council, but there is
not time on the Council's schedule until November 13th. At that time, I will present an
updated Third Quarter Report and use it to articulate that our revenue projections for
2001 are still quite appropriate.
As you can see from the report, most issues remain well within our budgeted estimates.
Outlined below are the highlights of the revenues and expenditures. This follows the
presentation, but also includes some additional information.
General Governmental Revenues
• Property Taxes. We have received 51% of our total $15,000,000 budget. This is
where we normally are in our collections at this time. Property taxes are due in
October. Thus, we do not see this revenue grow again until late October and
November.
• Sales Taxes: As I have stated on many occasions, we had a slow start due primarily
due to the Boeing strike. However, we have more than recovered from the slow
beginning, and in fact, I believe we will, at least, meet our original estimates. This is

remarkable given that in the first four months of the year our car sales were off from
our estimates by about$20,000 a month.
The only real issue in sales taxes continues to be the sales taxes generated from
building activities. This has begun to turn around in the past two months. However,
this sector will not be able to generate in the next three months enough to meet our
targets.
Our retail sectors continue to remain extremely healthy.
• Building Permits and Planning Activities: These continue to be extremely strong. As
of September 30th we generated nearly $1.5 million in various building permit fees.
Our estimate was only $950,000. The planning fees are nearly $800,000; our budget
was only $475,000 in these areas. This does indicate to us that our sales taxes from
building activities will remain, at least, in the range they have shown in the past two
months.
• Utility taxes: These all remain at the budgeted level. We continue to see
exponential growth in the cellular phone usage. The wire based phone tax remains
stable but is not growing. One would expect a growth in this area given the
general housing and business growth. It is clear that people have found ways to
minimize their phone costs.
While we expect natural gas and electric revenue to grow in 2001, these are
remaining very close to our budgeted amounts for 2000. The transfer station is very
stable - we earn approximately $400,000 annually from that one operation. The
cable revenue remains extremely stable.
• Gambling Taxes: We have collected approximately $1 .7 million in revenue from
gambling taxes through September 30th. Until we have additional businesses in the
City, this revenue will not grow. It appears from the last two years' data that a
maximum point has been attained at the current businesses in our City.
• Intergovernmental Revenue: Of course, this is no longer referred to as "MVET."
However, for a short period of time we will continue to show the amounts once
received and the amounts currently received. Again, in 2000 we received monies
generated from MVET in the last quarter of 1999. This combined with the $114,000
the State provided to us as a grant provides us with $200,000 we were not expecting
in the 2000 budget. In 2001 we will collect $220,000 from this grant. There are
discussions now with AWC and state legislature representatives about the future of
these funds.

• Total to Date all General Governmental Revenue: We are at 73% of total budget in
revenue. This is extremely good as we have not yet "counted" in the totals the use
of fund balances - as we had planned. Overall we are seeing a continuing growth
in revenue. It is not at double-digit levels as it was in 1997 through 1999, but it
continues to reflect inflationary growth. The numbers through September indicate
that our conservative estimates for 2002 are attainable.

General Governmental Expenditures
• All Departmental Budgets: All departments are spending below their allocated
budget level, as the graph illustrates. As of September 30th, the goal is to be no
greater than 75 percent of the total allocation. As illustrated, all departments are at
72 percent or lower in their spending levels.
Other Funds
• Golf Course Revenue and Expenditures: The golf course is doing very well. It has
collected 89 percent of its targeted revenue - $1.9 million dollars. This is the level it
must be at for two reasons: first, it is seasonal - thus most of the revenue should
come in the summer months; second, we have a debt service payment due to
October and there must be money to cover that. The expenditures to date are only
64 percent of budget. This will be made up quickly once we write a check for
$500,000 to cover the debt service.
• Hotel/Motel Revenue: Here we were a bit too aggressive. We thought the new
hotels that did open in late August would be opened sooner. We will not meet our
targets in 2000. Further, we know the hotel/motel market is again "built out." Thus,
our 2001 estimate is a bit retrenched. In 2000, the total generated from the
hotel/motel tax will be very similar to last year's receipts - approximately $135,000.
We have estimated $130,000 for 2001. This source has such use restrictions that the
actual estimate is not too concerning.

• Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) Revenue: This revenue all goes into the 316 and 215
Funds. As illustrated on pages 13 and 14 of the attachment, REET is once again
very healthy. Through September of this year 726 homes have been sold in our City.
Last year during the same time period there were 740 homes sold. This is statistically
equal. The number that is most interesting is the number of homes sold for $400,000
or more. In 2000 to date there have been 23 homes sold in that price category.
This category has been steadily increasing each year. REET receipts are $1.6 million
to date. If homes continue to sell at the same rate, the total will be $2 million. We
saw this trend while we were preparing the 2001 document, and thus estimated a
higher total in 2001 than we have had budgeted over the past two years. The
home sales might continue. The very difficult unknown to estimate are the large
commercial sales. This year we have had (tracking through the Business Journal)
approximately $50 million in these type of properties.
• Transportation Fund Revenue and Expenditures: This is the fund we use for all
transportation capital improvements. While this fund receives monies from a variety
of sources, the one we are most interested in is the Business License fee revenue.
We have collected approximately $1.8 million - 76 percent of our expectations. We
are seeing a stable employment base at Boeing - our largest payer. We expect
their employment to remain in the 18,500 - 19,000 range during 2001. While we are
getting new employers, no organization has the impact on this revenue source as
Boeing has.
The expenditures are only 27 percent of budget. As you know sometimes we
appropriate funds on the expectation we will receive grants. If the state does not
fund the program, then neither do we. Thus, having an expenditure level this low is
not a major concern.
• Water Utilities Revenue and Expenditures: We have earned approximately 73
percent of our expected revenue to date from water, sewer, Metro and surface
water rates. This has been a trend over the past two years. It was a particularly dry
summer; and people seem to be conserving a bit more as the revenues have been
under 75 percent the past two years. The real story in the revenues is the amount
generated from connection fees. Various different developments in the City have
paid a total of $1.3 million to date. This information mirrors the building permit
revenues. All of these funds are used for capital purposes.
The operating expenditures are at 71 percent of budget. This is well below the
normal target of 75 percent. Thus, while our revenue seems a bit low, the
expenditures are not outpacing revenues. We are in a very positive cash flow
situation. The capital expenditure level is also low. This discussion is being brought
to the Utilities Committee as a 2001 Budget change.

• Insurance Fund: This is the area that we have been briefed you on several times.
We had some very large expenditures during 1999 as we cleaned out a great many
cases. Due to these large expenditures, our Rainy Day reserves fell below 8 percent.
As of September we are regaining that ground. Our expenditures are 77 percent of
budget, but our revenues are 79 percent of budget. Thus, we are earning about 2
percent more than we are expending. Further, in the beginning of the year we had
a few significant claims. Our expenditure rate has slowed down over the past three
months. We expect expenditures will be within the budgeted $5.9 million. Further,
we believe at this time we will meet the 8 percent reserve goal by December.
Summary
All financial and fiscal signs continue to tell the same story. The economy is slowing, but
not retrenching. The elastic sales - cars, household, dining out, general retail - continue
to grow at an inflationary or better pace. We continue to have a growth rate between
three and five percent, depending upon the specific type of goods or service. We are
predicting that level for 2001 in the budget. At this time we see no issues which
concern us. On the other hand, we are not seeing the double-digit growth of the late
1990's. But, it is reasonable to see some cooling of the economy when the Federal
Reserve has raised interest rates six times over the past two years.
Building activity continues. We measure the future economy through the issuance of
building permits and planning review processes. Based on this measurement, the
economy will continue to be healthy in that sector in 2001. The building sector drives a
great many other measures in our city: new construction Assessed Valuation (AV);
increases to our base AV; purchases at retail outlet; and generally more citizens
shopping for everyday things in our City. Thus, our property values and sales tax base
should remain healthy in 2001.
You will soon be receiving a Revenue Manual that identifies each revenue source for
the 2001 Budget. This will provide you the detail of most of the revenue sources in the
City. I look forward to reviewing this report and the Revenue Manual in the Finance
Committee and as a 'jumping off" point on November 13th during the review of the
budget. Please call with any questions you may have regarding this report.

Development Services: reviewed this issue on October 19, 2000, and recommended that the City
Conditional Uses for Churches continue to regulate expansion of churches and new church facilities through a
and Preschools conditional use permit process. The Committee also agreed, however, that
small preschools and day care operations, within existing church facilities,
which are incidental to the primary use of a school or church facility as
currently defined in the zoning code, are accessory uses and do not require a
separate use permit.
The Committee recommended that a zoning handout be developed and made
available to the public which explains permit requirements, including the need
for appropriate fire inspections,building permits, and a business license.
The Committee further recommended that the issue of how to regulate larger
preschool and day care operations which do not meet the definition of
accessory use,remain in Committee for further development of a revised
administrative conditional use process and fee. MOVED BY KEOLKER-

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The Planning/Building/Public Works Department is requesting Council approval to transfer funds
within the Surface Water Utility Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget from Development
Project Category to the Major Maintenance Project Category. The actual expenditures within the
Major Maintenance Project Category are projected to exceed the total 2000 budget appropriation.
There are sufficient funds within the approved 2000 Surface Water Utility CIP budget ($2,808,000)
to allow for the transfer and the intra-fund transfer will not change total Capital Improvement
Program appropriation. The Major Maintenance Project Category appropriation will be exceeded
due to underestimating the amount of funding needed this year when the 2000 budget was prepared
in 1999. The appropriations for the Cedar River Sediment Management Program and Small
Drainage Problems Program are being exceeded due to unanticipated additional staff, monitoring,
permitting, design and construction costs. Due to a SEPA appeal of a project within the
Development Project Category, which will prevent the project from being constructed this year,
and other project delays, there is surplus appropriation within the Development Project Category to
allow the intra-fund transfer to the Major Maintenance Project Category. In addition, the Surface
Water Utility CIP estimated expenditure plan for the year 2000, projected that 80% ($2,246,400)
of the 2000 appropriation would be expended, which meant that 20% ($561,600) of the 2000
appropriation would go unspent in 2000. The Surface Water Utility's actual CIP expenditures are
currently below the estimated expenditure plan.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning/Building/Public Works Department recommends Council approval of an intra-fund
transfer of$450,000 within the Surface Water Utility CIP budget from Development Project
Category to the Major Maintenance Project Category. The intra-fund transfer will be accounted
for in the annual end-of-year Budget Clean-up Ordinance.

SUBJECT: Surface Water Utility Capital Improvement Program Intra-fund
Transfer
ISSUE:
The Planning/Building Public Works Department requests Council approval of an intra-fund
transfer of$450,000 within the Surface Water Utility Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget
from the Development Project Category to the Major Maintenance Project Category.
RECOMMENDATION:
• The Planning/Building/Public Works Department recommends Council approval of an intra-
fund transfer of$450,000 within the Surface Water Utility CIP budget from the Development
Project Category to the Major Maintenance Project Category.
• The intra-fund transfer will be included in the annual end-of-year Budget Clean-up Ordinance.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
The actual expenditures within the Major Maintenance Project Category are projected to exceed
the total 2000 budget appropriation. The intra-fund transfer is needed to ensure that the actual
expenditures do not exceed the Major Maintenance Project Category appropriation. There are
sufficient funds within the approved 2000 Surface Water Utility CIP budget ($2,808,000) to allow
for the transfer and the intra-fund transfer will not change total CIP appropriation.
Due to a SEPA appeal of a project within the Development Project Category, which will prevent
the project from being constructed this year, and other project delays, there is surplus
appropriation within the Development Project Category to allow the intra-fund transfer to the
Major Maintenance Project Category. In addition, the Surface Water Utility CIP estimated
October 2, 2000
Page 2
expenditure plan for the year 2000, projected that 80% ($2,246,400) of the 2000 appropriation
would be expended, which meant that 20% ($561,600) of the 2000 appropriation would go unspent
in 2000. The Surface Water Utility's actual CIP expenditures are currently below the estimated
expenditure plan and will end the year below the estimated expenditure plan.
The Major Maintenance Project Category appropriation will be exceeded due to underestimating
the amount of funding needed this year when the 2000 budget was prepared in 1999 and
unanticipated additional cost items in the Cedar River Sediment Management Program and the
Small Drainage Problems Program accounts. The amount of staff time to be committed to both
programs was underestimated by approximately $135,000. More staff time has to be spent on
these programs due to additional permitting, design and project management than was originally
estimated. This is especially true for the Cedar River Sediment Management Program due to the
Landsburg Gravel Supplementation and Elliot Rearing and Spawning Channel mitigation projects.
The Cedar River Sediment Management Program had unanticipated additional costs for
monitoring, permitting and design (approximately $100,000) and construction (approximately
$170,000). The additional construction included pavement restoration on the Airport, Levee and
Floodwall construction change orders and anticipated additional costs for the Elliot Rearing and
Spawning Channel construction. We proceeded with the design and pending construction of a
Small Drainage Problems Program project this year that was larger than originally planned upon.
Instead of constructing the project in phases over two years, it was decided to proceed with the
construction of a larger project for this year (Lake Washington Blvd/Burnett Avenue North Storm
System Improvement Project), which will reduce overall total project costs.
The table below lists the projects that make up the Major Maintenance Project Category, their
approved 2000 appropriation, actual expenditures and estimated expenditures to occur by the end
of the year.

We are recommending an intra-fund transfer of$450,000 instead of$425,000 as indicated in the
table to account for any changes in the estimated future expenditures.
The funding for the projected deficit can be transferred from the Sunnydale Downstream Storm
System Replacement project and other projects within the Surface Water Utility CIP Development
Project category that will not expend their appropriated amount due to project delays. The
environmental determination (SEPA) for the Sunnydale Downstream Storm System Replacement
Project was appealed, which prevents the project from being constructed in 2000. The project has
to be constructed within the fisheries construction window (June 15th through September 15th).
Due to the appeal, we missed the construction window. The construction is re-programmed for
2001, assuming that we get all the required permits. The project appropriation this year is
$400,000. Due to the postponement of construction, approximately $300,000 will be unspent and
could be transferred to the Major Maintenance Project category. The remaining $150,000 can
come from other projects that are in the Development Project category that have more funding
appropriated than will be spent this year without impacting their progress.
CONCLUSION:
There is sufficient funding in the Surface Water Utility CIP to allow the intra-fund transfer of
$450,000 from the Development Project Category to the Major Maintenance Project Category.
The intra-fund transfer will not effect progress on the other CIP projects.

Councilman Corman recommended that a staff member attend the Sound
Transit Meeting. Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler suggested that Ms.
Retzloff accompany the staff member to the meeting.
Citizen Comment: See—Dean John See, 438 Burnett Ave. S., Renton, 98055,reported that he received a letter
Sherman Apartments from the City informing him of a proposal to build a 67-unit apartment building
(Williams Ave S) on Williams Ave. S.between S.4th and S. 5th Streets(Dean Sherman
Apartments). Mr. See expressed concern regarding the impact of the apartment
building on the surrounding area's density,traffic and parking. He said he was
especially concerned about access on the one-way alley located behind his
house. He asked Council to consider reducing the zoning density in the subject
area.
Responding to Council President Corman,Principal Planner Rebecca Lind said
that the application is currently undergoing administrative review.
Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler said the Planning&Development
Committee is currently reviewing the proposed Comprehensive Plan
amendments,one of which addresses the South Renton area. She felt that until
now, a plan has not been developed that specifically focuses on the needs and
vision of this neighborhood. Mayor Tanner asserted that the administration is
proposing to reduce the current density in South Renton.
Economic Development Administrator Sue Carlson confirmed that the zoning
density in this area is 100 dwelling units per acre. However,the development
proposal is far less dense. She noted that staff will be in contact with Mr. See
to discuss the proposal.
Citizen Comment: Olson— - Nita Olson,430 Burnett Ave. S.,Renton, 98055, inquired if the apartments are
Dean Sherman Apartments going to be senior housing and asked to be a party-of-record regarding this
(Williams Ave S) matter.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Evaluate request to increase funds in the Professional Services account for Building Inspections and Permits
by $30,000.00. The increase in this line item is necessary to cover projected expenditures for structural
consultants utilized in the plan review stage of building construction. To date, 94% of the budgeted amount
has been spent on structural plan review and special request site inspections, due to increased construction
activity, particularly larger, complex projects such as the Dally project, multiple Renton School District
projects, and anticipated Southport reviews. Permit and plan check fees will increase accordingly, to cover
anticipated increases in structural review. Special request site inspections, and electrical and mechanical
plan review are paid for by the applicant. However, these fees go into the General Fund rather than
reimbursed to the Professional Services budget.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Refer this request to the Finance Committee for evaluation of the Development Services Division
recommendation to increase the Professional Services account for Building Inspections and Permits by
$30,000.00. Funding will come from permit and plan check revenues.

Plan Amendment re: May regarding a proposed King County Comprehensive Plan amendment. The
Valley Urban Separator Executive Proposed King County Comprehensive Plan amendments for 2000
include a Land Use Map amendment to redesignate an area of Renton's
Potential Annexation Area in the vicinity of May Creek from Urban
Residential,Low to Greenbelt/Urban separator. The affect of the proposed
amendment would be to maintain the existing R-1 zoning on the subject
properties until 2012. If implemented,King County will not support
annexation of this area to the City without an interlocal agreement to maintain
the one unit per acre zoned density.
The existing King County R-1 Zone is consistent with the Renton
Comprehensive Plan and with the proposed zoning regulation adopted by the
City Council in 1997 that would apply Renton's R-1 Zone upon annexation.
The Council adopted the R-1 Zone after lengthy consideration of the potential
impact of higher density on May Creek and its environs.
The Committee recommended that the Council and the Administration draft a

forwards,and a request of an increase for$85,000 to purchase the remaining laptop computers for
use in police patrol vehicles. These computers are partially funded by a COPS grant. The
reorganization of the Mayor's office,which includes two reclassifications and one new position,
is a new request and increases the budget by$42,390. Another new request is $35,000 for
printing the Centennial Calendar. The balance of the requests is$81,760 which is a transfer out
to the Municipal Facilities CIP fund.
Parks Fund: The requested adjustments in this fund consist of$3,570 in carry forwards and a
transfer of$550,000 to the Municipal Facilities Fund(316)to fund projects now scheduled for
completion in 2000.
Street Fund: There is only one request in this fund of$70,670 for contractual street work in the
Rolling Hills area which was started in 1999 and not completed.
Community Development Block Grant Fund: All the requests are for work that was approved in
1999,.but not completed. This is grant money and must follow the projects until such time as the
money is reallocated per the Human Services Advisory Committee.
Cable Communications Fund: There is one new request in this fund for$30,000 to purchase a
non-linear video editing system.
General Government Debt Service Funds: The requested adjustments in these funds of$19,500
are to provide appropriation authority to pay debt registration costs and arbitrage expense which
was inadvertently omitted from the 2000 Adopted Budget.
LID Debt Service Fund: The requests in this fund totaling $99,000 are to increase the budget in
order to pay debt service costs and allow for the transfer to Fund 401 of payments on LIDs 335
(Sierra Heights sewer) and 337 (Dayton Ave. sewer).
Fire Mitigation Fund: Two fire pumpers for a total of$700,000 were ordered in 1999 but will be
received and paid for in 2000.
Municipal Facilities CIP Fund: A budget adjustment is requested of$85,700 for several new
small projects consisting of a police evidence drying room, a hot water system for the courts, the
7th floor conference room, an audio system for council chambers, and a jail hearing room. The
Williams/Jasper demolition is another new project request and adds$30,000 to the 2000 budget.
We are requesting that budget be carried forward for the following projects which were started in
1999 but not completed: City Hall Ramp Improvements $124,290, furniture for the Executive
and Council offices $10,000,Highlands Annex Acq/Demolition$100,650, Highlands Community

Maintenance $71,000. The budget adjustment request of$88,340 for the Lake Washington Trail
and Boathouse has two components: $47,380 is a carry forward from 1999 and the balance of
$40,960 was approved by Council on March 6,2000,as an increase to the total project cost.
Other changes to the 2000 Budget include a decrease of$31,030 in the amount budgeted for the

Page 3 of 3
These Municipal Facilities CIP budget increases, if approved,will be funded by transfers from
the General Fund and Parks Fund and repayment of an interfund loan to Fund 306.
Waterworks Utility: Requested budget carry forwards for work completed in 1999 but not billed
to the City until 2000 make up$7,570 of the total adjustments for this fund. The Springbrook
utility billing system implementation was started in 1999 but not completed. A reappropriation of
the 1999 budget balance of$99,660 is requested in order to complete implementation. Other
requests are an increase of$40,000 for the purchase of water from Seattle for Boeing(this is more
than offset by revenue from Boeing) and$1,000,000 increase in the amount of the transfer to the
Waterworks Construction Fund.
Airport Fund: There is only one request in this fund for the demolition of the airport restaurant at
a cost of$100,000. This was approved by Council on February 14, 2000. However, an ordinance
to adjust the budget was not submitted at that time.
Solid Waste Utility Fund: The budget adjustment request in this fund is for one legal carry
forward for work completed in 1999 but not billed to the City in the amount of$5,170.
Golf Course Fund: The request is for an increase in the budget for debt registration cost of
$1,000.
Waterworks Revenue Bond Fund: This is also a request to increase the appropriation for debt
registration costs in the amount of$3,000.
Equipment Rental Fund: Eight vehicles were ordered in 1999 but the City did not take delivery
and was not billed until 2000. A budget adjustment of$157,000 is requested to pay for these
vehicles.
Summary: The total of the requested budget amendments is$4,301,310. Of this total $1,726,760
are transfers to other funds, which means that they are double budgeted. First as a transfer out
and then as project expenditures in the funds that received the transfer as revenue. Legal carry
forwards total $48,030. New projects and programs total $263,090. Budget increases for work
that was to be completed in 1999 but was extended to 2000 totals $2,174,880. The balance of the
budget requests consist of$140,960 for items approved by Council in 2000 but the budget was
not adjusted by ordinance, corrections to debt service costs of$27,500, and a decrease in the
budget for two projects in the Municipal Facilities CIP fund in the amount of
-$79,910.

NEW BUSINESS Council President Corman reported that last week,three groups working to
Transportation: I-405 Corridor address traffic problems in the I-405 corridor met to discuss a ten-year plan for
Study&Improvements needed improvements. He noted that the I-405/SR-167 interchange was agreed
to be in need of a major revision. One idea is to realign this section of I-405 so
that two lanes(rather than just one)turn southbound onto 167.
Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler asked if the subject of further straightening
the"S"curves was discussed. Mr. Corman replied that while there was talk of
adding one or two lanes to I-405,those present acknowledged the lack of right-
of-way available for widening. They further understood that Renton officials
are sensitive to the takings issue, given that several homes were lost as a result
of the last"S"Curves project.
Mrs. Keolker-Wheeler suggested that the City make efforts to get information
on this subject to the public, including how they can get involved. Mr. Corman
noted that the next six months will be an optimum time for public comment, as

Re: Financing Issues related to Tenant Improvements at Mill and Grady
Buildings
ISSUE. In o der to meet the requirements of lease agreements and make the tenant
improvements required in the lease agreements, the City needs to make certain appropriations,
and interfund loan agreements.
RECOMMENDATION. Use the $700,000 appropriated in Fund 316 as an interfund loan to Fund
306 to pay for current tenant improvements identified. Make an appropriation in Fund 501,
Equipment Rental, for $300,000 as an additional loan to Fund 306 for any additional tenant
improvements necessary for the Mill Avenue Building. As illustrated in the attachments, these
funds will be repaid over a three to five year period.
Within this recommendation is the following agreements that were made during the process of
creating and approving the lease agreements.
1. Leases, once developed and business points confirmed by staff, will be authorized by Council
for Mayoral signature.
2. Only Tenant Improvements with a "term of lease" payback;will be authorized without specific
Council authorization.
3. Pre-financing costs associated with lease commissions and Tenant Improvements will be
recovered in the rental rates.
4. Funds for pre-financed activities will be repaid, over the life of the lease, from rent proceeds.
5. The total value of year 2000 pre-financed activities will not exceed $1,000,000 without
additional Council authorization.
6. Funds necessary for pre-financing activities include the previously authorized funds in the
2000 budget.
BACKGROUND. Over the past few months the Facilities and Finance staff have been working
on the issues related to paying the "upfront" costs necessary to make the spaces we have
available leasable. Being a public entity makes this process a bit different, but we also share
some of the same issues as the private sector.
H:finance:finance:2001budget:fund 306 status.doc
The major difference between the public and private sector is the Council must appropriate every
dollar spent by any Fund. It matters not if and when we are going to be repaid for the dollars
spent. The dollars must be appropriated. There is total agreement that the lease agreements will
repay the cost of the tenant improvements within a short period of time. The problem has been to
ensure there is enough appropriation authority to pay for the costs incurred by the City.
We appropriated $700,000 in Fund 316 for the Mill Avenue Building improvements in the 2000
budget process. These are monies we have had many years for improvements to that building.
At the time they were not appropriated in Fund 306 because we did not know the plan or tenants
for both the Mill Ave and Grady Buildings. At that time, we did not know the issues related to
these types of expenditures.
We have several attachments for your review.
Attachment A illustrates a summary of the revenues and expenditures required for the operation,
capital improvements, and other miscellaneous costs associated with the leasing of the two rental
spaces. This is a total view of the leases. As we have mentioned, we have Martin Smith
collecting the rent and paying for many of the operational costs. Thus, the City does not have all
these revenues and expenditures.
Attachment B is the same information as Attachment A in detail. It illustrates the revenue and
costs by each lease type of building location.
Attachment C illustrates the requirements for capital improvements this year.
Attachment D illustrates the City's appropriation requirements. Once again, Attachment A
illustrates all revenues and expenditures for the buildings. Now, the City must appropriate the
funds necessary for it to pay for its requirements. For example, the City must advance the
monies to pay for the tenant improvements. In order to do so, we must appropriate those
expenditure requirements -- and we will receive revenue to pay for many of these needs in 2000,
but as illustrated, all of these monies will be repaid by 2005.
Attachment E is a page from the 2000 budget, which illustrates the activity in 1999, and the fact
we have $180,000 in the fund balance.
Attachment F is a history of the events for the buildings.
MAJOR POINTS.
a. Attachment A illustrates that we will have $1,386,218 in revenue. However, the City
revenue will actually be $1,625,482. The difference is we must appropriate the $180,000
in fund balance for work approved in 1999, but completed in 2000. We have as a
revenue: 1) our true net rent revenue from Martin Smith, 2) allocated property tax for the
fund for miscellaneous expenditures, and 3) in addition to the $700,000 from Fund 316,
we are recommending another$300,000, if necessary, to do tenant improvements for the
remaining floors IF a new tenant is signed.
b. The actual expenditures from the City viewpoint-- or that, which must be appropriated, is
$1,482,708. We must pay: 1) previously approved capital expenditures (180K); 2) tenant
improvements identified in Attachment C; 3) 2000 lease commissions; 4) Operating costs
associated with the unleased space; and 5) possibly tenant improvements in the
unleased spaced. We are asking for the authority for this, but will not be spending this
money until we have a lease agreement with a tenant AND the Council approves that
lease agreement.
c. If we do this as planned, we will have approximately $142,774 in the Fund 306 Fund
Balance. Thus, we may not borrow the full $300,000, depending upon the timing of any
H:finance:finance:2001budget:fund 306 status.doc Page 2 of 3
ire w
future tenant improvements. This would be discussed with the Council at the time we
brought forth a lease for the remaining spaces.
d. The difference between Attachment A and Attachment D is that the Martin Smith or
income account appears it will actually be in the deficit, but legally we cannot end a city
fund in the red,thus, the need for a loan to pay for the tenant improvements.
e. The following year, 2001, the same principles are illustrated. The Income Statement
illustrates the program earns $912,899 in revenue, but has operating expenses of
$380,000. The latter are not city expenses. Attachment D illustrates the City will earn
the net of the revenue vs. expenses or $589,800. From that Fund 306 must repay a
portion of the initial loan of $600,000 and possibly some operating expenses. It still
translates into a healthy fund balance of $362,849. Attachment A illustrates on an
income basis, the program has earned $81,238 from the first year.
f. In 2002 we have had the leases begin to pay the next loan of$700,000; and begin to pay
the loan for the $300,000. We have the $700,000 loan being paid off in three years, and
the $300,000 in five years. The latter is open, as we do not know the amount that may
be necessary to borrow or how we will actually structure it. We do have the $700,000
being repaid to Fund 316 over a three-year period.
g. Our accounting structure is to have all revenues and expenditures flow through Fund
306. Thus, other Funds will loan money to Fund 306; and it will repay its loans. No
monies will flow directly into Fund 316, for example, from Martin Smith. This will ensure
we can account for all costs and revenues regarding lease agreements.
h. Finally, as illustrated, in Fund 2004 we have reflected a requirement for a Chiller
replacement at the Mill Ave building. This was presented in the CIP, and we still expect it
to be necessary. It would be a requirement under any condition. The exciting part is that
we are now having the tenants pay for the requirement instead of the general fund.
SUMMARY
As illustrated here and stated earlier, leasing of these buildings is an excellent business decision.
We are maintaining our buildings, keeping employees within Renton, paying our costs, and
making a bit of money also. This is the "new" government. The Facilities staff should be highly
complimented for their work on this.
The work we have to do is simply to make what we are doing follow all accounting and procedural
rules. We ask the Council concur with our recommendations
1. to transfer the $700,000 from Fund 316 to Fund 306 in order to better track costs - long
term;
2. appropriate $180,000 in carry forward funds to meet prior agreements;
3. appropriate the balance of operating costs we have for the building; and
4. Appropriate a loan of $300,000 maximum, if necessary and the loan will be made only
upon approval of future lease agreements.
We have prepared a Committee report to outline these actions. We look forward to having any
discussions with you regarding this as, again, we believe this is a great example of how we
should be maximizing our assets.

History of Leasing Activities:
• The Committee of the Whole Report, Dated February 8, 1999 directed the
administration to evaluate the former city hall and make recommendations to
the City Council about repairs and improvements necessary to support leasing
to hi-tech and interne companies. This report was due to the City Council
before leasing activities begins.
• The report was submitted to the City Council on May 24, 1999 and the
council authorized leasing activities to begin. As a first step in this process,
the council authorized the expenditure of up to $600,000 to complete repairs
and remodels to the 200 Mill Building.
• The report to council on May 24th also stated the cost of Tenant improvements
to the space in the 200 Mill Building could range from $0 to $600,000
additional dollars depending on tenant needs.
• This May 24th report focused on the 200 Mill Building so it did not address
tenant improvement needs in City Hall.
• Most of these repairs were completed in 1999 at a cost of $450,000.
• The remaining $150,000 became available for other projects in the 200 Mill
building. These projects include:
1. A reduced scope of work for the previously approved electrical project
2. A minimal telecommunications project with a scope to be determined
by tenant needs.
3. Demolition of Jail and police area
4. Demolition of the 1st floor records area and computer room
5. Possible demolition of the 2"d floor council chambers if we cannot find
a tenant needing that kind of space.
6. Work on beautifying the front entrance
7. Basic "common area"improvement work on the ground floor once
demolition is complete and a tenant is located. This work will include
exterior window work along the river frontage and completion of the
main entrance to the space.
• On January 24, 2000 the council authorized the Mayor to proceed with the
demolition of the Jail and police area in the 200 Mill Building. Funds for this
work were reprogrammed from the original $600,000 authorized.

the tax on card room revenues.
PUBLIC HEARINGS This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in
Annexation: Smith,Hoquiam accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Tanner opened the public hearing
Ave NE/NE 10th St,Zoning to consider designating the zoning classification for the proposed Smith
Annexation; 12 acres located east of Hazen High School on Hoquiam Ave.NE
and north of NE 10th St.; Single Family Residential R-5 —Five Dwelling Units
per Acre and R-8—Eight Dwelling Units per Acre.
Owen Dennison, Senior Planner,reported that subsequent to Council's

zoning for this area,the King County Boundary Review Board approved the
annexation without review on October 7th. He said the property is generally
flat, except for the northeastern most parcel through which Honey Creek runs.
Access constraints and the steep slopes will make development very difficult
for all except the westernmost portion of that parcel.

as Judge Pro Tern is included on next year's proposed list.
Councilman Corman suggested that the Adult Entertainment Ordinance be
carefully written so it could not be construed to apply to "PG"or"R"rated

CORRESPONDENCE A letter was read from Inez Petersen, 3306 Lake Washington Blvd.N. #2,
Citizen Comment: Petersen— Renton, 98056, saying that Renton's action tying future utility rate increases to
Renton Future Utility Rates the Consumer Price Index in response to I-695 is an attempt to circumvent the
Tied to CPI(I-695 Effect) requirement that voters approve all future tax and fee increases. MOVED BY
EDWARDS, SECONDED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, COUNCIL REFER
rbk.l?kse .ZCZSI]
THIS CORRESPONDENCE TO THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.*
Council President Parker emphasized that Renton will not be increasing utility
rates for 2000 and in fact has not done so for some time; however, the City is
obligated to provide basic utility services to its citizens, and so must keep its
public works facilities in good repair and upstanding working order.
Councilman Edwards added that even if it provides for automatic utility rate
increases,the City will still have to go to the voters for funding approval of
large capital needs for the utilities. He felt this would be consistent with I-695.
Councilman Corman said he would support tying future utility rate increases
only to the Consumer Price Index rather than either to the CPI or 5%,
whichever is greater. Explaining that water is a commodity,he said the price of
providing it is sure to rise with inflation, and the City should be able to recoup
those costs from its customers.
Councilman Clawson opposed the proposed ordinance,as he felt that the City
was not being clear in its actions. Emphasizing the importance of the trust and
confidence of the voters,he said he had not yet been convinced that the City
must provide for automatic utility rate increases in the future because of
bonding issues and the chance that the City's bond rates could worsen.
Mr. Corman felt that the City would keep good faith with the voters by tying
future rate increases to the CPI, since rates have remained constant for the last
five years and any CPI adjustment would only recoup the City's costs in
providing the product.
Mayor Tanner urged Council to consider what would happen if voters denied
the City's request for funding a project or projects which resulted from non-
negotiable federal mandates. Mr. Corman replied that if the City was unable to
meet federal safe water standards due to lack of funding for capital projects,
voters would have to be warned that Renton's water may not be fit for drinking.

November 22, 1999 `r.d Renton City Council Minutes Page 418
Noting that a good percentage of utility revenues pays for employees who do
the necessary work to provide this service, Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler
said many union contracts contain inflationary clauses for salaries. Capital
projects are one thing,but personnel costs will increase as well. She
emphasized that Council can always choose to not increase rates if it
determines that an increase is not needed.
Mayor Tanner concurred, saying that the ordinance contains both the CPI and
the 5% figures for the purpose of reminding Council, on an annual basis, to
consider and decide this issue. He added that rates will not be raised in 2000,
and there is no reason to raise them in 2001 unless some unexpected, worst-
case scenarios occur.
Councilman Edwards commented that he would not want for the City's
property tax or other General Fund revenues to be used for personal water
consumption.
Councilman Corman explained that his objection to the ordinance is the
inclusion of the 5%potential annual increase. He said that because of the way
the ordinance is written,the region could theoretically experience no inflation
over the next 15 years, yet utility rates could double if the 5%rate increase was
continually enacted. He added that the ordinance does not lay out a mechanism
whereby Council can decline to impose the 5%rate increase, or indeed any
increase at all.
Mayor Tanner said Council will forever retain the authority to modify this
ordinance in whatever way it wishes to, either by approving amendments to it
or by repealing it outright. He emphasized that he has no interest in raising
utility rates, even by the Consumer Price Index.
Council President Parker noted that this ordinance would offer to the City's
bonding companies the assurances that Renton could provide additional capital,
if needed, for its utility system. He felt it would be irresponsible not to enact
this legislation as written.
**MOTION CARRIED TO REFER MS.PETERSEN'S LETTER TO THE
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
OLD BUSINESS Planning&Development Committee Chair Keolker-Wheeler presented a report
Planning &Development recommending that the fee schedule be revised and an ordinance be adopted
Committee establishing permit fees for A-frame signs. The Committee recommended a fee
Development Services: A- of$100.00 for the first sign and$50.00 for any additional A-frame signs. This
Frame Sign Fees recommendation is based on feedback from City Code enforcement staff and is

Subject: Follow-up to 11/15/99 council meetings re budget
Dear Mayor and Council Members:
As you know, on 11/02/99, the people of Washington State decided in a legal election to reduce
the funding of our state government by changing the way vehicle registrations are handled, with
the most important trickle-down rider that prevents cities, counties and the state from increasing
taxes without voter approval.
If you, as our elected officials, truly believe that it is in the best interests of the citizens who
elected you to approve budget/tax increases now for implementation after I-695 takes effect,
then it behooves you to limit those increases to one year so that they may receive voter approval
next November. If you do not make this provision, each and every increase can only be viewed
as a way of circumventing the will of the people. The citizens of this community have
empowered you with their votes and entrusted you with the welfare of the city. Now we are
asking you to trust us. Trust that by next November we will be capable of making informed and
intelligent decisions for the good of our own community.
I view the discussion I heard tonight regarding tying budget/tax increases to the Consumer Price
Index (CPI) as nothing more than an attempt to circumvent voter approval. I believe that I-695
requires that you get voter approval and that blanket wording automatically applying increases
according to the CPI is wrong.
Sincerely,

COUNCIL MINUTES •• THE MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 8, 1999 AS PRESENTED. CARRIED.
PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in
Budget: 2000 Preliminary accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Tanner opened the public hearing
to consider the 2000 Preliminary Budget.
Linda Honeycutt,Acting Fiscal Services Manager, said the total proposed 2000
Budget for the City of Renton is $141,480,000. This is an increase of 8.2%
from the 1999 Budget. $56 million is General Governmental Funds,which are
proposed to be increased by 3.5% from this year. Ms.Honeycutt reviewed
several highlights of the budget, saying the most significant decrease is in the
City Hall capital fund, due to this project's nearing completion. The budget
proposes adding seven new full-time positions,including a fire fighter and a fire
inspector. It also includes a$100,000 increase in the street overlay program to
a total of$480,000.
Continuing,Ms.Honeycutt said the budget recommends that the Code
compliance program which was piloted in 1999 be permanently implemented.
Additionally, it: contemplates costs associated with the Endangered Species
Act; continues the Neighborhood Grant program; and allocates$50,000 to the
Renton High School Performing.Arts Center.
Audience comment was invited.
Sandel DeMastus, 1137 Harrington Ave.NE,Renton,98056,urged Council to
keep in mind the needs of Renton's low-income,disabled and elderly residents.
Saying that her personal income is less than$700 per month, she said she
knows people whose income is even lower yet they must make do with it. She
asked that the reduced utility rates available to low-income and disabled
homeowners be made available to these populations of renters as well.

Councilman Corman said it was his understanding that the reductions in
Renton's utility rates are available to all low-income and disabled residents,
whether they be homeowners or renters. He wondered if Ms. DeMastus was
referring instead to the private electric and gas utilities. City Attorney
•
Lawrence J.Warren confirmed that Renton's utility discount applies to all
residents,including those renters who are responsible for directly paying their
utility bills.
Cal Neidigh-Kumm, 165 - 14th Ave., Seattle, 98122,director of the Community
of the Triangle Fund,urged the City not to reduce any of its human services
funding next year. Explaining that he provides advocacy and assistance to the
low-income,disabled and homeless,he was concerned about possible local
budget cuts due to I-695.
Councilman Clawson replied that Renton is not proposing to cut its human
services budget next year.
Mary Ellen Stone,representing the King County Sexual Assault Resource
Center,PO Box 300,Renton, 98057, spoke in support of Renton's human
services budget and expressed appreciation for the City's contribution to the
KCSARC. Saying that the agency serves many Renton clients, she expected
that,with the passage of I-695,KCSARC will lose funding from the cities of
Des Moines and Normandy Park, and perhaps from Mercer Island and
Enumclaw as well. Further,the agency projects a 20% decrease in its state
grant due to I-695.
Heidi Carlson, 806 Index Ct.NE, Renton, 98056, thanked the City for
continuing to fund its neighborhood programs, saying that strong
neighborhoods make for a healthy and more livable city. She said the various
projects funded by the Neighborhood Grant Program will instill identity and
pride in many Renton neighborhoods.
Ardene Niemer,representing Renton Technical College, 3000 NE 4th St.,
Renton, 98056,thanked the City for its contribution to the college's Family
Literacy Program, which aids mostly immigrant families in learning English.
Saying that many of the adults served have young children, she explained that
as they improve their English-language skills,the parents are better prepared to
provide for their families on their own. Ms.Niemer added that Renton's grant
to this program also helps it leverage federal and state grants.

Honored Council Members
Dear Council Members,
1999 (2000) Discussion of Budget Reforms Due to 1-695, etc.
My name is Calvino Leon-Miller Neidigh-Kumm, Director of Community of the Triangle Fund [NFP] a not
for profit social service assistance agency helping the low-income, disabled, and homeless, located at
165 14th Avenue, Suite 102, Seattle, WA 98122-5561. My services include Social Security
Representative Payeeships, Washington State DSHS Advocacy, and information and referral to the
deteriorating list of available social service agencies. When the government supplied social services are
exhausted, I come in to help those who can and easily do fall through the cracks of the system. I am here
is support of your social services,the proposed reforms, and against possible cuts in available funding.
In 1990, I was involved in the homeless camp on City of Bellingham city hall lawn, when the city ignored
its homeless youth and allowed the only city shelter to turn them away. This is part of the reason why I
am here today. Nine years later, I handle approximately 500-750 calls a year for advocacy and
assistance, without a charge and out of my commitment to my community. Social services are the
foundation to helping those who have less or nothing.
During the race for Council, many of you have heard me speak of Access Transportation, 'True'
low-income and affordable housing, and the quality of life in our respective communities. With the
coming of 1-695 and the realization that the money will be gone, but certain taxes are going to rise, while
social services are decreasing. I beseech you to take this into consideration. The reforms and decreases
you make today will affect you in the future and if you become one of the less fortunate disabled,
low-incomed, and/or homeless. If you cut these where will you be then?
So, in conclusion, thank you for your time and please think seriously about the losses and what the effect
will be on the 60% of our respective communities that rely on these social services.
Sincerely,
Calvino Leon-Miller Neidigh-Kumm, Director
Community of the Triangle Fund [NFP]

Moses as well as to diversity.

previously asked that the piazza be named after John Dobson. She suggested
that the proposed names be considered together.

SPECIAL PRESENTATION MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY PARKER, COUNCIL
Budget: 2000,Capital SUSPEND ITS RULES AND PROVIDE FOR A SPECIAL PRESENTATION
Improvement Project BY COUNCILMEMBER KEOLKER-WHEELER IN RESPONSE TO A
Expenditures and History STATEMENT MADE BY MAYOR TANNER LAST WEEK. CARRIED.
Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler responded to a memorandum from Mayor
Tanner which was entered into the record of the City Council's regular meeting
last week regarding the funding of capital improvement projects. Noting that
the City has embarked on a number of capital improvement projects over the
last several years and that it would be easy to get facts and figures mixed up
when singling out a single project,Ms. Keolker-Wheeler said she has carefully
reviewed the official records of City Council meeting minutes, adopted
legislation, staff reports, and other information submitted or produced at
Council committee meetings and City Council meetings for the purpose of
correcting certain statements made in the Mayor's October 26th memorandum.
Specifically,Ms. Keolker-Wheeler said that she did not"intimate that now the
Administration was coming to the Council to be bailed out of financial
difficulty,"nor did she compare "this situation to 1993"as the Mayor claimed.
Emphasizing that she did not imply anything of the kind nor did she believe
such to be true,Ms. Keolker-Wheeler said the Mayor was apparently referring
to a passing remark from another councilmember about an emergency tax hike
done eight years ago. This remark,however, did not mention a"bailing out"of
any kind. Adding that she did not at all question the fiscal health of the City,
Ms. Keolker-Wheeler said she did,however,question the Administration's
priorities for funding capital improvements and whether certain projects are
November 8, 1999 slime Renton City Council Minutes `✓ Page 397
funded without the proposed gambling tax increase.
Continuing,Ms.Keolker-Wheeler disputed the Mayor's contention that
"... ($1 million)was placed in the 1997 budget to effect roof repairs(for the
pavilion building)and do seismic and exterior improvements. This proposal
was opposed by Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler." Ms.Keolker-Wheeler
emphasized that, as she stated during last week's Council meeting,the record
shows that Council put the funding for the piazza in a reserve fund to ensure
there was community involvement and consensus on how to proceed before any
monies were spent. The record also shows that Council unanimously approved
appropriating$200,000 for repairs to the Pavilion building in the interest of
forestalling further damage to the building.
Ms. Keolker-Wheeler also disputed the Mayor's statement that"...the reason
the Pavilion is not well underway at this time is due to Council blockage of the
project,"explaining that the Administration and the Council have not yet
agreed on a clear vision for the future of this building. She expressed her hope
that the Council and the Administration can move forward and tackle the many
important issues facing them both.
Mayor Tanner replied that although it is true that Council placed$1 million
into reserve for the downtown piazza project on 3/16/98, at that time,the terms
"piazza"and"pavilion"were used interchangeably. Pointing out that as of last
March,the piazza project was fully funded,he said therefore it is clear that the
remaining$800,000 in the reserve fund is to be used for the pavilion building
and not for the piazza. On 3/22/99,the Administration requested approval of
the proposed use of the pavilion building as an exhibition/conference center
with banquet capabilities. The Committee of the Whole acted to refer this item
to the Community Services Committee for more in-depth study and review.
Responding to Ms.Keolker-Wheeler's comment that projects desired by
Council such as the pavilion building and a skateboard park are being tied to
the proposed increase in the card room tax,the mayor said to the contrary,his
proposed 2000 Budget fully funds the pavilion project and does not tie this
funding to any gambling tax increase. The mayor added that the
Administration has taken numerous steps to proceed with improvements to the
pavilion building,including commissioning various studies of potential uses
and a Code compliance report which was issued last February. Mayor Tanner
concluded that it is now up to Council to decide if it wants to move forward on
• this project.
Noting that this item is in Community Services Committee,Council President
Parker looked forward to a recommendation from the committee to the full
Council on this subject. He added that both Mayor Tanner and Councilmember
Keolker-Wheeler have only the best interests of the City at heart.
Councilman Corman said that Council is indeed prepared to commit resources
to improve the pavilion building,and is united with the Administration
regarding the importance of doing so. He felt that this desire represented the
common ground between Mayor Tanner and Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler
on this subject.

Statement for the Record
From: Councilwoman Kathy Keolker-Wheele A
()
Date: November 8, 1999
Subject: Correction of the Record in response to Mayor Tanner's October 28, 1999
Memorandum(presented to Renton City Council November 1, 1999)
First, I want to thank the many people who have contacted me to express their dismay at what
happened last Monday and to offer their support. It has been heartwarming and most
encouraging.
For several years now, this Council and the Mayor have been engaged in a number of activities
to move the City of Renton closer to becoming a world class city. Collectively, this Council and
the Administration have developed a business plan that has improved the City's financial
condition even as we have addressed needed capital improvements and investments to improve
our economic vitality.
It has been a busy time for all of us. We have embarked on a number of capital improvement
projects in our downtown, in our neighborhoods, in the valley, and on our waterfront by taking
advantage of the current strong economy. We have worked on many of these projects
simultaneously. Without checking the record, it would be easy to get facts and figures mixed up
when singling out a specific project.
Last Monday Mayor Tanner had a memorandum read into the City Council record which made
several accusations against the City Council and against me personally that were surprising to
say the least. In a less official communication, he and I could have discussed his concerns
person-to-person to clarify fact from perception. However, as his communication was read"on
the record", I am forced to correct that record in the same way.
Since last Monday, I have carefully reviewed the official records of City Council meeting
minutes, ordinances passed by this Council, staff reports submitted to the Council, and other
information submitted or produced at Council committee meetings and City Council meetings.
Copies of 16 of those records and verbatim transcripts are attached. From those records, I would
like to correct certain statements made in the Mayor's memorandum presented last week.
In his memo, the Mayor incorrectly stated that I, "...intimated that now the Administration was
coming to the Council to be bailed out of financial difficulty and [I] compared this situation to
1993...." I reviewed the videotapes and the verbatim transcript of my comments from both
Committee of the Whole and City Council meetings on October 25, 1999, and I made no such
remark, did not imply anything of the kind, nor do I believe such to be true.. The Mayor may
have thought something was"intimated" by a passing remark about an"emergency tax hike 8
years ago,"--that comment was made by another councilmember and did not mention a"bailing
out"of any description. Nowhere in my remarks did I question the fiscal health of the city. What
Page 1 of 3
I did question was the Administration's priorities for funding capital improvements and whether
they were funded with or without the gambling tax increase.
The Mayor's memo states that, "...every project proposed for the year 2000 is fully funded, with
the exception of a skateboard rink, which is not included in the Mayor's budget submitted to the
Council." The memo goes on to explain that if the proposed gambling tax increase is not
approved, some future projects will be delayed. The Mayor's budget assumes Council will
approve the tax increase. To the contrary, the record shows that at the October 25th Committee of
the Whole meeting, all seven Councilmembers spoke against the increase for various reasons.
We have repeatedly been told by this Administration, including the Mayor's own memo, that the
increase is necessary to fund some capital projects or they will be delayed. Either the budget is
balanced with the tax increase, or there will be a deficit as proposed if the gambling tax increase
is not approved, and projects will have to be cut or delayed in order to balance the budget.
Regarding the Pavilion building,the Mayor's memo stated, "In point of fact, one million dollars
was placed in the 1997 budget to effect roof repairs and do seismic and exterior improvements.
This proposal was opposed by Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler." I have thoroughly reviewed
the Council record on this matter and the Mayor's statement is incorrect on several counts. The
Finance Committee report of March 16, 1998, on carry forwards stated,"This ordinance also
places in reserve$1.2 million in the Municipal Facilities Fund. One million of these funds will
be dedicated in reserve for the Piazza project" The record clearly states that the $1M was for
the Piazza, not the Pavilion building. Council did put the money for the Piazza in a reserve
fund to ensure there was community involvement and consensus on how to proceed before
spending the public's money. I argued in favor of that approach because there had been
tremendous public interest on the part of Citizens for Pia77a Renton and others on the final
design of the Piazza. When the Council was presented with a plan that had public input and
support Council appropriated the money as promised, on a unanimous vote, and the project is
now under construction.
The Mayor's memo also stated that, "...the reason the Pavilion is not well underway at this time
is due to Council blockage of the project." This statement is also incorrect. The reason we have
not proceeded with the Paviliop is because the Administration and the Council have not yet
agreed on a clear vision for the future of the building. The Council has asked the Administration
to provide information on the viability of the proposed use. When we receive this information,
the Council will make an informed decision on the long and short-term future of the Pavilion
building.
In a July 23, 1998, memo from the Mayor to the Council, the Administration recommended,
"that the Council approve the appropriation of$200,000 from the unallocated fund balance in
reserve for the Piazza project[emphasis added]to complete the improvements to the Pavilion
building detailed in this report." This is the first specific allocation of funds for the Pavilion
building in the record. The Council approved the appropriation within one week of the
Administration request because of the concern that basic roof repairs were needed to forestall
Page 2 of 3
VOW
further damage to the building. The record also shows that I did NOT oppose the repairs, I voted
in favor, as did all the other Council members.
This is a time when we as a Council and the Administration need to exercise our best
professional and political judgment to meet the service demands of our citizens. We have a
budget to put together;I-695 to respond to; a comprehensive plan to update;major projects such
as Port Quendall, the Highlands Revitalization Plan and continued downtown improvements that
need our full attention.
It is unfortunate that time and effort have been diverted this past week to preparing this response.
However, since the first memorandum was placed on the record, it was necessary to correct the
inaccuracies for the record. Now that the record has been corrected, it is my sincere hope that we
can move forward and tackle the important issues facing us.

CITY OF RENTON
MEMORANDUM
DATE: October 28, 1999
•
TO: Renton City Council and Citizens of Renton
FROM: Jesse Tanner,Mayor e3--
SUBJECT: Misinformation provided at the Oct.25, 1999,
Committee of the Whole meeting.
During discussion of the revenue forecasts and the proposed 2000 budget,one council member,specifically
Councilwoman Kathy Keolker-Wheeler,made the statement that during the past four years the Council had
repeatedly been given assurances that Capital Improvement Projects put forward by the Administration were
fully funded. She intimated that now the Administration was coming to the Council to be bailed out of
financial difficulty and she compared this situation to 1993 when the previous Administration had to be
bailed out of difficulty. In that instance,the Administration not only could not fund Capital Improvement
Projects,it could not even make payroll expenditures. Nothing could be further from the truth in the current
Administration. Every project approved during the years 1996 through 1999 has been fully funded and has
come in at or under budget.
Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler made it appear that the future 2000 budget,just transmitted to the Council
and asking for a specific tax increase to support future Capital Improvement Projects,was somehow a
breach of faith with the Council. I want to point out that every project proposed in the CIP will implement
the goals and strategies established by this Council,in partnership with the Administration. Since each
councilmember has received a copy of the CIP,there are no surprises. To further correct the record,every
project proposed for the year 2000 is fully funded,with the exception of a skateboard rink,which is not
included in the Mayor's budget submitted to the Council. Lack of the proposed tax increase,if it is not
approved, simply means that we will have to delay some future projects until we have accrued sufficient
funds to accomplish them.
She also made the statement that projects wanted by the Council were not funded. In particular, she cited the
Pavilion Building. This is completely false. The Pavilion Building is funded in the 2000 budget. In point of
fact,one million dollars was placed in the 1997 budget to effect roof repairs and do seismic and exterior
improvements. This proposal was opposed by Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler. She convinced the Council
to instead appropriate the funds into a reserve Fund,which meant these funds could not be spent without
Council action. In order to get two hundred thousand of that money appropriated to the building to fix the
roof,we had to point out that leakage and water damage could destroy the bowstring trusses that support the
roof. In short,the reason the Pavilion is not well underway at this time is due to Council blockage of the
project.
My record of accomplishments is clear and my administration of the affairs of this City has been exemplary.
Each year's audit by the State has shown the proper use of public funds,and not once have I had to call upon
this Council to bail me out of financial difficulty,nor do I have any intention of doing so in the future.

PARTIAL VERBATIM
CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
October 25, 1999
(Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler comments)
I'm interested in hearing what the Administration's rationale is for doing this? (raise the
gambling tax on card rooms) You know,I'm sure there's got to be some, some logic of
some sort to do it; and maybe it was talked about in Finance Committee,but that's not
one of my committees, so I don't understand why,why this,why now,why this?
***
Yeah,I'm still a little bit confused by the logic. And--the State law allows an increase in
the property tax rate as well,but we're not going after that. And we seem to be targeting
one particular industry for doubling their tax rate, and that seems a bit excessive to me.
I'm not a proponent of gambling,but it just seems like they're kind of an easy target?
***
I'm just really disappointed that there isn't any analysis with this package,because when
this went to Finance Committee months ago,there was analysis requested. And I do
recall having conversations with other councilmembers talking about the fact that we
needed to understand exactly what was being proposed, and why. There had to be some
kind of rationale that was meaningful. And that the two issues were not to be linked.
And here again, in this proposal,they're obviously linked. It makes about as much sense
to me as deciding that a business like IKEA is really successful and they have a lot of
profit, so let's find a way to put more tax on them so they can pay more money to the
city, `cause, gosh, they're doing quite well. It's about that logical to me. Which means
it's not logical at all,because there's no analysis that goes with it.
I'm also gonna echo some things that Bob has said, and I'll try to be very brief in that,but
he's right when he's talked about the fact that we've been told, over and over and over
again,by the Administration, when we've inquired about money,we've got plenty of
money,there's lots of money coming in,the revenues are coming in at a higher rate than
what we expected, don't worry about it, everything will be fine. And that's what we've
been told every time we've inquired when we've had a new project come up,when this
council's been concerned about,where are we gonna get the money to pay for it? Don't
worry about it,we got it, it's not a problem.
So why is it, all of a sudden,now,that we're facing the budget session,we're looking at
this kind of ten percent,you know,doubling,twenty percent, ten to twenty, increase on
one particular business, one particular industry in town,when we've been told all along
that we have no revenue problem. And it's somehow being tied to the projects that are
near and dear to what the council's wanted to do. Like the pavilion, like the skateboard
park. And all of a sudden,we don't have money for those things,but we had money for
all the other things that the Administration's wanted to do for the last couple of years.
And it just bugs me that that is the way this thing is coming across. It's almost as if we
were being held hostage because those are our projects,those are the things we said we
wanted to do. And now,we're being told that well,the only way to fund them is to raise
the gambling tax, `cause otherwise, folks,we just don't have the money. So am I upset?
Yeah, I'm upset.

Mister Mayor? Is there a reason why that wasn't listed on the agenda tonight, so the
public would know you were going to be doing that?
No, I mean--I mean your budget message, that you just said you were going to read at this
time.

REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
November 1, 1999
KW: Mister Mayor. I can't believe that you would put something like this forward.
I'm really shocked. Let me correct the record, and for anyone who cares to look at the
record, the official City record, and for those of us who remember what actually
happened, the item that you're referring to as the pavilion project was not the pavilion
project, it was the piazza project. And yes, I am responsible for making sure that the
council decided to put that money aside until there was a plan that the council had agreed
to and the citizen's group had agreed to. It has nothing to do with the pavilion, it was the
piazza project. And this council voted to put that money in reserve for the piazza until
there was a plan we all agreed to. That was very important, because the citizens were
saying that the administration was not paying attention to what the citizens were saying
they wanted. And since it was the piazza group in the first place that brought the project
to us, it seemed quite logical to me that they should have an opportunity to have input
into the plan. So that is a total falsehood that you have stated in your letter, Mister
Mayor, and I really resent that. You can go back and look at the record,anyone can, it's
there for anyone who wishes to do so. As far as the pavilion is concerned, it makes
absolutely no sense to me or anybody else on this council that I've heard to spend a lot of
money on an old decrepit building until we know what we're going to do with it. What if
we had spent $200,000 on repairs to that building and decided to tear it down? We don't
know what we're going to do with it. The council hasn't blocked the project; the council
has asked for some reasonable information and some studies so that we can make the
determination as to what is the best use of that building for the long-term and for the short
term of this city. That is the truth.
JT: Ms. Runkle, could you--I don't want to get you into the middle of this brouhaha,
but could you tell the public and this council what the $1 million that was appropriated
into reserve for, was requested for?
VR: Alright. We did set the money aside for the pavilion building. And that was
shown in the 1999 Budget. We then appropriated$200,000--and I don't remember what
year, my guess is it must have been 1998--for repairs to the pavilion building. So, so we
have $800,000 still set aside. We have$800,000 set aside. And it's displayed in the
nineteen--I mean we can go back and show it --in several budgets, shown as reserve.
KW: But we talked about the piazza.
JT: Mister Parker and I have had several conversations about this,while he was the
chairman of the Finance Committee and also since he's been the president of the Council,
and I've used every device that I know of to get support for the pavilion building. We've
had studies--I've got a stack of material this high that are studies that we paid for. And
the conclusion of those studies came up with two possible uses. One was an art school
with art studio rental, and second was a community conference center/exhibition hall,
which we also went out and got an architect's estimate on what it would cost to renovate
that building to accomplish that. But, to get back to the one question about the '99
budget, the statement was made tonight that this budget is dependent on the card room
tax going through. That is completely false. This budget is fully funded, whether or not
that card room tax goes through, and as a matter of fact there are fund balances in both
the General Fund and in Fund 316 to fund a skateboard rink if the Council so chooses to
add it to the budget.
KP: I might have to be stand corrected because I believe I'm the one who made that
remark. Otherwise, you're indicating to us that the, that the additional dollars that you
anticipated are in your budget address. And your request that you made in your budget
statement, that--for the additional ten percent--is not included in the current budget to
bring? Is that correct?
VR: What I've done--table two, Mister Parker, table two--I just want to make sure my
staff's not here, `cause I want them to find it--what this budget is doing is, it's stating that
we need the gambling tax for the future. Okay. And if you look at table two, and I'd
have to go look to tell you what page it is,but what we've done is we have dedicated
those funds, in different ways, to the pavilion building to, for a total of two million plus--
I think it's $2.3 million--hold on just a second. I'm sorry. To be used this year for a one-
time repair of the pavilion building. So if you turn to page 2-15, I apologize, 2-16 of the
budget, and what you'll see is I've dedicated$1.5 million of the property tax to the Fund
316. And that's for the purpose of repairing the pavilion building, with the $800,000 that
we have set aside in that fund for the pavilion building. Now. In order to balance this
budget, the operating side can clearly be balanced--the operating being the day-to-day
functions of the government--can certainly be funded without the gambling tax. And
that's just a--it's just a dedication of different monies for different things.
KP: Mister Mayor. I'm gravely relieved. I had, during the Committee of the Whole,
made, at least wanted the councilmembers to be aware of the significance of some of the
things that could happen to us in the future with the advent of I-695. And I am mistaken,
I did make that comment. I was concerned that being able to balance your budget was
dependent on those additional dollars and that this council was probably going to have to
make some very very tough decisions. So I stand corrected, sir. I have no problem with
it. Now, as Council President and the idea that you had that letter read into the record I
would assume at this point that Ms. Keolker-Wheeler, if she so desired, and having just
this thrust at us prior to the council meeting, could then respond with her own letter if she
was so inclined to, for next week. After she's able to at least review some of the items
that you pointed out and if she wants to,we can have further debate on that subject.
JT: Absolutely. The record is available to any councilmember as well as the mayor,
and as well as citizens.
KP: You bet. Thank you very much, sir.
KW: I would request at this time a written transcript be prepared of my comments at
the last Committee of the Whole meeting last Monday. Verbatim transcript, my
comments, sent to all councilmembers.
JT: Verbatim.
KP: Was it at the Committee of the Whole meeting or at the Council meeting?I know
that your letter says Committee of the Whole meeting.
JT: Well, but she made comparable statements at both the Committee of the'Whole
and the council meeting.
KW: Any of my comments that I made at the meeting last week, Committee of the
Whole or council meeting, I would stand behind any of them. Please provide them to us.
KP: That's a reasonable request, right,Mister Mayor?
JT: Absolutely. Certainly. Verbatim transcription of the councilwoman's comments,
Madame Clerk.
BE: And I know this is really a discussion we should probably have at Committee of
the Whole,but I'm looking at the budget statement and it talks about specific changes
that are included in the 2000 budget, it's a balanced budget, and I'm looking at an
increase in card room tax rate from the current ten percent to twenty percent of receipts.
I'm pleased to hear that we could go forward with a balanced budget without having this
increase.
VR: Well, you can; there are certain things that you will have to not do, i.e., the
pavilion building.
BE: Okay,but what's being proposed as a balanced budget is one that would require,
as it's laid out, would--I mean, one of the things we could do, is go forward and approve
the budget presented, the draft budget that's been presented to us, and we could go off
into the year 2000--
VR: No. Wait a minute. The budget is more than--I think--I do the same thing to my
staff, it drives them nuts--the budget is the whole, okay? It is not just the general
governmental budget. Okay. So you would have to--I mean,we're presenting some
action on the pavilion building, and you'll have to take a decision about that.
JT: Let me ask a question,Ms. Runkle. This budget also presupposes expenditures
required as a result of I-695 passing, does it not?
VR: It assumes--
JT: It assumes, first, a loss.
VR: Right. No,wait a minute.
JT: Then, is there something in there for--
VR: No, I do not, I do not assume the loss in there,wait a minute, I have to look that
up. I do not assume a 695 loss. I do not assume the 695 loss.
JT: How about public health? Do you assume anything for public health?
VR: I do not assume anything for public health, I'm actually sure of that,because I
assumed it would take some time to figure out what they're gonna do on that. So the
answer is, it does not assume anything for public health, and it does not assume a loss
from 695. So if we lost$650--so we could lose $650,000. Plus the public health. That's
right. That's right.
BE: One thing that seems clear to me--we'll know a lot more in about 24 hours. One
thing that seems clear to me is that we're probably going to have spend a lot of time with
this budget. I mean, there's a budget that's proposed, and we would have a choice about
adopting that; obviously, if 695 passes, we're going to have to roll up our sleeves and get
very much involved in what's there. And we may want to roll up our sleeves and get
very much involved in what's there anyway. So we'll know a lot more in 24 hours,
though. So that's my final comment on the subject.
RC: Well, I was just going to suggest that --first of all,putting this into context,we've
had some remarkable years of some major capital improvements and an economic
expansion and economic development that's gone extremely well, so we're managing a
lot of projects and I can see where it gets a little bit complicated to keep track of every
detail of every one,but--having said that, I was just thinking as we delve into the record
of the last Committee of the Whole, I think actually what might have happened was
Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler was responding to statements not from you,because
you weren't at the Committee of the Whole, as the mayor, you weren't present,but rather
to staff comments. Which you in turn reacted to her comments from that meeting, and
then we made--it seems to me it's still rooted in this,just a simple misunderstanding
about what this budget does, and that we could probably pursue those comments all the
way back to their source, and maybe decide that somebody on the staff said something
that wasn't exactly reflective of--
JT: Not so. I reviewed the tapes.
RC: Oh, did you. Okay. Well, indeed, then. I just, I hope that we don't spend too
much, too much energy going after that--
JT: I don't put my staff responsible for comments I make,Mister Corman.
RC: Yeah, it just was rather--I was just saying that she may have reacted to comments
they made,not,not your--well, I guess I'm not sure.

KW: Mister Mayor, I spoke during Committee of the Whole. You were not in
attendance. I assume you were sitting in your office watching the television at the time.
JT: Precisely.
KW: And you were mad when you got here. So--
JT: How do you know that?
KW: Because of the way you behaved. I asked a simple question and you just about bit
my head off, so, look at the tape on that one. I don't wish to continue with the discussion.
We can get the record and we can look at the record, and that's fine with me.
JT: Well, the simple question you asked was why,with no agenda item for my budget
transmittal message, was I going to read the record--read the transmittal message into the
record. I thought it was presumptuous of you, and I still do. Okay, if there are no further
comments?

CITY OF RENTON
MEMORANDUM
DATE: August 15, 1997
TO: Kathy Keolker-Wheeler,President
City Council Members
FROM: Mayor Jesse Tanner
STAFF CONTACT: Sue Carlson, Economic evelopment Director, (x4419)
SUBJECT: Downtown Redevelopment Project
Background
In February of 1997,the city issued a request for proposal seeking the participation of a
private developer to build a mixed use retail/residential project on City-owned property in
downtown. After publication and solicitation of proposals and interviews, Daily Homes
was selected as the best potential developer for the site.Daily Homes'proposal includes
107 high end apartments built over one level of structured parking and 4,600 square feet of
retail space.
Mr.Daily's purchase and development of this property, s dependent on the city and Mr.
Daily negotiating an agreement on several critical factors. In June of 1997 the City signed a
memorandum of understanding with Dally Homes establishing an exclusive ninety day
feasibility period to jointly investigate the feasibility, scope,design,timeline and cost of the
project. Issues requiring resolution included the realignment of Logan and Smithers,the
cost of upgrading the streetscape on Logan Ave, initial improvements to the piazza, and
improvements to the Seattle Water Pipeline Right of Way.While City staff was
investigating project costs and construction schedules,Daily Homes initiated market
feasibly studies,began a Level II Environmental Assessment of the property and started
work on the design of the project.
At this point, staff has completed construction estimates and timelines for the public
improvements to the area and is seeking Council approval to enter into a binding
development agreement with Daily Homes that specifies the respective work,
responsibilities and contributions of both parties.
Issues
1. Reconfiguration and/or realignment of the intersection of Smithers,Logan and
Third Ave:
Although this idea was originally thought to have public benefit by providing a smoother
traffic flow and expanded turning radiuses,upon further review both Daily Homes and City
staff determined that this was not good idea. Reconfiguration would draw traffic to Logan
and would not contribute to the ambiance that Dally Homes is seeking.
An alternative suggested by the City and approved by Dally Homes would create a
gateway feature at the corner of Third and Logan. This would provide the Dally Project with
a focal point on Third and would also create the impression that the Piazza extends across
Logan and connects with improvements to the Seattle Pipeline Right of Way.
Cost: $50,000
2. Comp e on o phase one development of the piazza; and Master Plan for final
development.
Phase one includes demolition of the Sound Mazda showroom,removal of asphalt and
seeding of property.Parks department believes that the work can be accomplished by March
•: aster Plannin: for fma desi a of .iazza will be:in in September or Octobe
Cost:Phase I-$200,000; Master Plan $35,000
3. Street Improvements to Logan Ave between 2nd and 3rd.
Improvements proposed include: widening the sidewalks; adding street trees and amenities;
pedestrian scale light fixtures, improvement to facilitate transit; and provide on-street
parking immediately adjacent to the Dally Homes project on the west side of Logan.
$200,000 of funding for this project will be allocated from the Downtown Transit Acess
program and the CBD Transportation and Streetscape program.
Cost: $350,000
4.Leasing the Seattle Pipeline ROW and developing public parking with a pedestrian
walkway.
The Downtown Renton Revitalization Plan, adopted by the city in 1993, calls for the
development of the Seattle Waterline ROW as an urban trail interspersed with small pocket
parks and parking for adjacent uses. Staff has developed a plan that would add 45 parking
spaces as well as providing landscaping and a pedestrian trail. This amenity will serve as a
buffer between the backs of businesses fronting on Third Ave S and of the Big 5 store, and
the Dally project. This also provides Dally with an off street entrance to the parking garage
which will allow additional landscaping opportunities on Morris Ave.
Cost: $250,000
5. Purchase of narrow strip of property on the north side of the Seattle Pipeline ROW
for inclusion into the improvements to the Seattle Pipeline ROW.
Staff has contacted the property owner about selling or donating this property to the city.
Cost: $35,000
6. Mitigation Fees
Based on preliminary review of building size and number of proposed units, the mitigation
fees for this project will be approximately$121,000 . These numbers are subject to revision
if the size of the project changes.

Next Steps
Upon approval by the City Council of the expenditures for public improvements,the
administration will notify Dally Homes of the City's intent to proceed with this project. An
ordinance will be drafted for Council approval which details the scope of work, expenditures and
timelines for completion of the improvements. It will also direct the Mayor to enter into a
Purchase and Sale agreement with Dally Homes and complete the sale of the property.
The public and private portions of this major downtown redevelopment project are estimated to
be completed by the Fall of 1998.
Recommendation
City Council approve the reallocation of funds and the new funding required to complete the
public infrastructure improvements detailed in this memo.

ADJUSTMENTS AND CARRY FORWARDS. CARRIED.
/Finance Committee Finance ommittee Chair Parker presented a report recommending adoption
Budget: 1998 Adjustments of the 1998 Carry Forward and Budget Adjustment ordinance. The total
Carryforwards amount appropriated is $39,348,389. Of this total, over $36.6 million (90
percent of the total) is for legal obligations the City has outstanding from
1997, to be spent in 1998. The remaining $3.9 million is for new budgetary
items, including, but not limited to, appropriations for the Oakesdale Phase II
project, furniture purchases, and swimming pool removal. The ordinance also
places in reserve $1.2 million in the Municipal Facilities Fund. Of these
funds, $1 million is dedicated in reserve for the Downtown Piazza project.
The remaining $200,000 will be held in reserve for the purchase of
undesignated property. 'When opportunities and r a lan for the piazza is ;�
\, complete. the Council will appropriate the reserves. MOVED BY PARKER,
SECONDED BY SCHLITZER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE
REPORT.*
Councilman Parker clarified that if approved, the proposed action will
designate $1 million for the piazza project as requested by the Administration
He considered the City to be in an enviable position to have these
carryforward funds.
Responding to Councilman Corman, Mayor Tanner confirmed that the piazza 1
funds are already being held in reserve, and he had asked that these be
• appropriated to phase two of the project at this time. Most of the funds will
not be needed for some time, except perhaps to clean up contamination on the `
property.
Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler felt it would be best not to appropriate the j,
funds until a plan for the piazza has been agreed to by all parties, which has
not yet been accomplished. Emphasizing that the money will not be spent on
\,� anything other than the piazza, she explained that this project is not the same i
as, for example, a simple road project. She reiterated that she wanted to be 1
sure what the funds will be spent on before the money is appropriated.
Noting his concern about sending a mixed message to the community on this
issue, Councilman Corman said the City must make itself clear that it is
committed to this project.

MEMORANDUM

STAFF CONTACT: Sue Carlson

SUBJECT: Upgrades to the Pavilion Building
ISSUE
Improvements need to be made to the Pavilion Building in order to protect its roof, provide
utility and power access, upgrade its appearance and make it usable for interim community
functions and special events until a long term use is established. The cost to complete this
work is estimated to be $200,000.
BACKGROUND
In 1996, the City of Renton purchased property at the corner of 3`d and Burnett for the
purpose of developing a town square or plaza that would become the focal point for the
downtown redevelopment project. The property was the former site of Sound Mazda car
.dealership and included a showroom, offices and a service and repair facility. Initial plans
for development of the plaza called for demolition of the showroom and offices and
redevelopment of the service building for retail use.
The Pavilion Building is a central feature in the effort to revitalize the downtown core. The
planned plaza provides an outdoor venue for special events such as the Holiday Tree
Lighting Festival, small music concerts, art shows, etc. On nice days the plaza will be a
natural place to enjoy some quiet time, eat lunch or just people watch. , The Pavilion
Building adds another dimension to the space. Without the Pavilion, the plaza is a nice
place to relax in warm weather, but unless an activity is programmed or planned, it is not a
destination in itself. The redevelopment of the Pavilion Building brings with it the opportunity
to create a destination for the downtown by leveraging the space in the plaza with retail and
public spaces in the Pavilion to create a truly unique opportunity. The building itself is a
fairly remarkable structure. Built in the late 1930's its existing bow/string trusses span the
building from north to south and create a totally open 15,000 square foot space. These
graceful trusses, with their long spans, would be prohibitive to build today for a reasonable
cost.
The way the building was constructed offers another opportunity to connect the building and
its users with the plaza. Adding additional roll up garage doors on the south side of the
building would create unrestricted pedestrian flow between the retail space and the plaza.
The building also serves as a buffer or "edge" between the piazza and the transit center.
•
May 20, 1998 "' v."
Page 2
Without the Pavilion Building, the plaza would be a visually nice space that gets occasional
use. The building, and the opportunity for connecting retail, restaurants and interior public
space with the plaza, adds an additional element that leverages the entire space into a
unique one—of-a-kind experience.
PHASE ONE IMPROVEMENTS
The Economic Development, Neighborhoods and Strategic Planning Department
contracted with the Terranomics Retail Group to analyze the Pavilion building and
determine potential opportunities for retail uses and phasing of development. The
Terranomics report identified three phases of building development based upon the type of
use. Building use is expected to increase and change over time as the downtown area
continues to grow and as the need to provide services to an increasing resident population
in the downtown area grows. The first phase of improvements is intended to bring the
building into condition for immediate use, and to provide a cosmetic treatment that is more
in keeping with the quality of public and private investments now occurring in the downtown
area. Immediate uses include activities such as antique shows, arts and craft displays,
farmers market, and civic activities such as concerts, films and theatre productions. These
uses could act in conjunction with the adjacent space available in the civic plaza. Because
the uses are temporary and less intensive than the longer-term retail uses, the investment
needed to accommodate these uses is also reduced. The following summarizes the
purpose, general scope and estimated cost of the improvements recommended to the
Pavilion at this time.
A. GENERAL PURPOSE OF IMPROVEMENTS
The purpose of the improvements is to accommodate the interim uses of the
building identified in the Terranomics Report. Several immediate building
deficiencies would be resolved, and a large, versatile interior space would be
provided. The visual character of the building will be improved from Third Avenue
so it is more in character with the remaining downtown improvements planned or
underway. And finally, the improvements are intended to minimize the City's
financial risk. The Terranomics Report estimates total capital investment of over
$1.7 million if the building were fully redeveloped by the private sector for retail use.
This incremental approach will allow the uses of the building to grow and evolve as
the downtown area grows, and will allow the City to explore private investment
opportunities for future building phases:
B. IMPROVEMENTS ALREADY AUTHORIZED
Work is underway to remove all hoists, the trench drain and subsurface
contaminated materials inside the building. The areas will be backfilled and
re-paved to match the existing concrete floor. Painting is nearly complete on the
east, north and west walls of the building. Patching and painting the south wall of
the building is included in the current demolition contract, but has been delayed until
the structural improvements have been completed.
Change orders have recently been authorized to complete two additional scope
items not in the original contract. First, structural improvements will be completed in
accordance with recommendations made in the structural assessment conducted as
•
May 20, 1998
Page 3
part of the Terranomics Study. The work involves the installation of grouted
concrete block in lieu of an existing framed opening along the east portion of the
south wall. The cost will be $5,500. Interior clean up has also been authorized, at a
cost of $6,500. This involves mainly the removal of three former office areas and
miscellaneous conduit, lights and junk. . It will leave the garage area as one large
unencumbered space. These two changes, totaling $12,000, are believed to be
essential to at least allow some use of the building on an interim basis.
C. RECOMMENDED IMPROVEMENTS
1. Interior painting $50,000
The interior is currently a hodge podge of mostly dreary colors.
Most of the ceiling is a dingy cream color, though the eastern
one-third is light gray. The lower walls are an electric blue.
Water damage is obvious on several trusses. This would
pressure wash, spot prime and paint the interior ceiling, beams
and walls. While strictly a cosmetic treatment, this would
brighten the appearance of the building's interior.
2. Roof repairs $20,000
The roof leaks badly in several areas, and may be damaging
the wood roof trusses. This is a temporary (3-5 year) solution
aimed at preserving the trusses and allowing interior uses. The
scope includes patching and the application of a hot asphalt
emulsion. A more permanent solution is not recommended due
to the high cost ($50,000 - $100,000) and potential for major
architectural modifications in future building phases.
3. Install three (3) windows on east side of south wall $20,000
Architectural reviews conducted as part of the Terranomics
study recommended the addition of three large windows on the
eastern half of the south wall to match the western half. This
would not only improve the exterior appearance of the building,
but would bring much needed natural light into the building's
interior.
4. Modified stucco finish on south wall $40,000
Though again a cosmetic treatment, it is important that the
appearance of the building, particularly the side exposed to the
majority of people, be consistent with quality that we are striving
for in the other downtown improvements. At the same time, a
major capital investment is risky because of potential
architectural modifications in later building phases. The
modified stucco treatment is a low cost, widely used facade
treatment that is a fairly short-term solution. It provides a
variety of color and texture options.
May 20, 1998
Page 4
5. Utility Service allow$50,000
There are currently no utilities serving this building. All power
and phone service entered the building via the .former
showroom facility and were disconnected during demolition.
The overhead lights remain. No water or sewer exists.
A temporary, 100-Amp electrical service was provided to
accommodate the police department's use of the building's
west end to store evidence vehicles. While it is not clear the
type of temporary uses that will occur in the building and plaza
over the next couple of years, some utility service will be
needed. The Terranomics Report identified the need for a
400 Amp, 3 phase electrical service through Phase 2, which
does not include known uses in the Plaza such as the Holiday
Tree lighting and concerts. Water and sewer will also be
needed for future restrooms and other building uses. The funds
proposed should provide sufficient power to light the building
and accommodate most building and plaza needs over the next
3-5 years. It should also provide water and sewer service to a
centralized location within the building, though the building will
remain unheated.

$200,000
The elements identified above represent the initial phase of improvements needed over
time to accommodate the long-range vision of the building. The roof repairs are temporary.
The south side facade treatment will be re-evaluated during any major renovation
alternative. Heating, energy code and seismic issues will need to be addressed in later
phases. No work is proposed on the existing windows, floor, or garage doors, all of which
must be addressed in future building phases.
D. TIMING
If these improvements are authorized, the expected timing needs to be discussed.
Currently, staff time simply is not available to complete the entire list in the near
future, particularly if a Renton River Days deadline is desired (Eight weeks from a
projected June 1 authorization). Except for utility services, this time frame is
possible only if other expectations are modified. For example, approved
construction projects can be deferred to 1999. Before proceeding along this course
of action, the specific projects must be evaluated because each project has its own
expectations, requirements and pressure points. Another alternative would be to
streamline the City's purchasing procedures to reduce the time required to
implement projects. Again, this will need discussion before proceeding, and may
also cause a slippage in other project schedules, though more modest.

The Community Services Committee recommends concurrence in the staff
recommendation to award a contract to the low bidder, A-1 Landscaping and
Construction, Inc. for $1,095,886.26 to construct the Downtown Park and Gateway.
Including a recommended contingency, the estimated cost of the project will exceed
available funds by nearly $200,000. Rather than reducing the scope of the project, the
Committee agrees with the staff recommendation to allocate up to $200,000 from the
Parks Mitigation Fund to complete the project as currently planned.
Additionally, a formal protest has been submitted by Gary Merlino Construction Co., the
second low bidder, challenging the qualifications of A-1 Landscaping to perform the
concrete work as specified. The staff has researched the qualifications of A-1
Landscaping and its concrete subcontractor,Ocean Enterprises. Based on this
research, the Committee,concurs with the-staff conclusion that A-1 Landscaping and
Ocean Enterprises are qualified to complete the project, and that the City formally reject . ..
Merlino's protest and award the contract to A-1 Landscaping and Construction, Inc` . .
The Committee further recommends that the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to sign

for the Pavilion building, at Council's direction.
Mayor Tanner added that he has had several conversations with Council
President Parker on the Pavilion building in an attempt to have Council fund
improvements to this facility. He added that studies have already been
performed,one of which concluded that the building should be used for an art
school and art studio rentals. Another study suggeested that it be used for a
community conference center and exhibition hall.
On another subject,Mayor Tanner stated that his proposed 2000 budget is not
at all dependent on whether the card room tax is raised from 10%to 20%,but is
fully funded even without this increase. Additionally, fund balances exist in
both the General Fund and in Fund 316 which Council can appropriate for a
skateboard park, if it so chooses.
Responding to Council President Parker,Ms.Runkle referred to table 2-16 in
the budget,which shows a dedication of$1.5 million in property tax revenues
which is proposed to be spent on improvements to the Pavilion building(in
addition to the$800,000 already in reserve for this project). Ms.Runkle added
that the operating side of the budget can absolutely be balanced without an
increase in the card room tax.
Council President Parker invited Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler to submit a
letter next week in response to the mayor's comments,if she wishes to do so.
In response to Councilman Edwards,Ms. Runkle said the proposed budget does
not assume a loss in revenues should 1-695 be approved by Washington voters.
It also does not assume increased public health costs,which would be one
result should the initiative pass.

Executive: 2000 Budget, A memorandum from Mayor Jesse Tanner to the Renton City Council and
Revenues and Expenditures citizens of Renton was read,responding to discussion at last week's Committee
of the Whole meeting. The memo stated that Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler
had intimated that the Administration was seeking to be bailed out of financial
difficulty,and said she had compared this situation to 1993 when the previous
Administration could neither fund capital improvement projects nor even make
payroll expenditures.
Mayor Tanner emphasized that every project approved during his tenure of
1996 through 1999 has been fully funded and has come in at or under budget.
Saying that Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler intimated that the Mayor's
proposed 2000 budget was somehow a breach of faith with the Council,he said
every project proposed in the CIP will implement the goals and strategies
established by Council in partnership with the Administration. He added that
every project proposed for next year is fully funded, with the exception of a
skateboard park which is not included in his proposed budget. The mayor
explained that if Council chooses not to increase the tax on card room revenues
as he has proposed,the only result will be that some future projects will be
delayed until the City accrues sufficient funds with which to accomplish them.
Referring to a statement made by Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler regarding
the Pavilion building,Mayor Tanner said this project is funded in the 2000
budget. He added that the reason the Pavilion was not well underway at this
time was due to Council blockage of the project.
Mayor Tanner concluded that his record of accomplishments is clear and his
administration of the affairs of the City has been exemplary. He emphasized
that not once has he called upon Council to bail him out of financial difficulty,
nor did he have any intention of doing so in the future
Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler expressed shock that the mayor would put
such a memo forward. She said Council set aside funds for the piazza project,
not the Pavilion building, explaining this was done because the citizens
promoting the piazza felt that the Administration was not paying attention to
what they wanted for this project. Disputing that Council has blocked the
pavilion project, she said that it simply wants a reasonable amount of
information on this facility and its potential uses so it can determine how it will
best be used in both the long-and the short-term.
At Mayor Tanner's request,Finance&Information Services Administrator
Victoria Runkle confirmed that the City placed$1 million in reserve last year

CITY OF RENTON
MEMORANDUM
DATE: October 28, 1999
TO: Renton City Council and Citizens of Renton
FROM: Jesse Tanner,Mayor 4/�
SUBJECT: Misinformation provided at the Oct. 25, 1999,
Committee of the Whole meeting.
During discussion of the revenue forecasts and the proposed 2000 budget, one council member, specifically
Councilwoman Kathy Keolker-Wheeler,made the statement that during the past four years the Council had
repeatedly been given assurances that Capital Improvement Projects put forward by the Administration were
fully funded. She intimated that now the Administration was coming to the Council to be bailed out of
financial difficulty and she compared this situation to 1993 when the previous Administration had to be
bailed out of difficulty. In that instance,the Administration not only could not fund Capital Improvement
Projects, it could not even make payroll expenditures. Nothing could be further from the truth in the current
Administration. Every project approved during the years 1996 through 1999 has been fully funded and has
come in at or under budget.
Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler made it appear that the future 2000 budget,just transmitted to the Council
and asking for a specific tax increase to support future Capital Improvement Projects,was somehow a
breach of faith with the Council. I want to point out that every project proposed in the CIP will implement
the goals and strategies established by this Council, in partnership with the Administration. Since each
councilmember has received a copy of the CIP,there are no surprises. To further correct the record, every
project proposed for the year 2000 is fully funded,with the exception of a skateboard rink, which is not
included in the Mayor's budget submitted to the Council. Lack of the proposed tax increase, if it is not
approved, simply means that we will have to delay some future projects until we have accrued sufficient
funds to accomplish them.
She also made the statement that projects wanted by the Council were not funded. In particular, she cited the
Pavilion Building. This is completely false. The Pavilion Building is funded in the 2000 budget. In point of
fact, one million dollars was placed in the 1997 budget to effect roof repairs and do seismic and exterior
improvements. This proposal was opposed by Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler. She convinced the Council
to instead appropriate the funds into a reserve Fund, which meant these funds could not be spent without
Council action. In order to get two hundred thousand of that money appropriated to the building to fix the
roof,we had to point out that leakage and water damage could destroy the bowstring trusses that support the
roof. In short,the reason the Pavilion is not well underway at this time is due to Council blockage of the
project.
My record of accomplishments is clear and my administration of the affairs of this City has been exemplary.
Each year's audit by the State has shown the proper use of public funds,and not once have I had to call upon
this Council to bail me out of financial difficulty,nor do I have any intention of doing so in the future.

AUDIENCE COMMENT Blair Burroughs, 4750 Wells Fargo Center, 999 Third Ave., Seattle,
Citizen Comment: Burroughs representing the Coal Creek Utility District,expressed appreciation for
—Coal Creek Utility District, Renton's opposition to the City of Bellevue's proposed partial assumption of
Proposed Partial Assumption the utility district. (See page 389 for Council action on this matter.)
by Bellevue
Citizen Comment: Steiner— Fred Steiner, 111 S. 3rd St.,Renton,98055,the owner of Diamond Lil's and
Gambling Tax Freddie's Club,said that since these two establishments began operating as
-2,43-615 enhanced card rooms under State law,the gambling taxes he pays to the City of
Renton grew from$100,000 to $1.5 million per year. Explaining that running
an enhanced card room requires more upfront costs for labor,rent and
promotions,he opposed the Administration's proposal to raise the tax on card
room revenues from 10%to 20%,claiming such an increase would amount to
half of his net proceeds. Adding that a 20%tax could easily put him out of
business in an economic downturn,Mr. Steiner said after reviewing his receipts
for the last three years,he came to the conclusion that if he had been taxed at
20%during that entire period,he would not be in business today.
Responding to Council President Parker,Mr. Steiner said although he would
not agree to any increase in his tax, a 12%rather than a 20%tax would be, at
least,palatable and he probably could absorb it. Mr. Steiner added that a
reduction in the pulltab tax from 5%of gross to 10%of net revenues would
help soften any increase in the card room tax.
Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler questioned if Mr. Steiner and other card
room owners agreed to the 20%tax rate when the State was in the process of
approving enhanced card rooms. Mr. Steiner explained that the 20%rate has
been in place since 1973. He said no card room owner would accede to being
taxed at that rate because no establishment could survive it in any kind of
economic downturn.
Citizen Comment: Gevers— Bob Gevers, 900 Kirkland Ave.NE,Renton, 98056,reported that his son,who
Prohibition Against was visiting him from Tacoma last weekend,received a ticket for parking his
Advertising Parked Vehicles vehicle in front of Mr. Gevers' house with a"For Sale" sign in the window.
For Sale Expressing surprise that such a law exists,Mr. Gevers said his son has decided
to pay the fine because it would be completely inconvenient for him to contest
the ticket,which would require that he take time off work to travel to Renton's
Muncipal Court and explain the circumstances under which it was issued.
Mr. Gevers asked if his son had any alternative other than paying the ticket or
appearing in Municipal Court. Adding that this law was adopted by Renton
from the Washington Administrative Code(WAC 308.330.436),he suggested
that Renton not simply adopt it"as is"but revise it to provide for exceptions in

PUBLIC HEARING The proper notices having been posted and published in accordance with local
Finance: 2000 Budget, and State laws,Mayor Tanner opened the public hearing to consider the 2000
Property Tax Levy Rate and property tax levy and rate, and revenue sources for the 2000 Budget.
Revenue Sources Victoria Runkle, Finance&Information Services Administrator, explained that
the City is proposing to set next year's property tax levy collections at
$15,348,909. Although this is the most the City can collect under the State law
which limits property tax collections at 106%of the previous year's
collections,Renton property owners will actually see a decrease in their tax
rate, from the current$3.42 per$1,000 of assessed valuation to $3.40. This is
because Renton's assessed valuation continues to grow, and is expected to rise
from approximately$4.2 billion this year to$4.5 billion in 2000. Ms. Runkle
emphasized that these figures do not include annexations or new construction
values.
Council President Parker noted that Council received a highly detailed
presentation of this issue during its Committee of the Whole meeting earlier
this evening.
Audience comment was invited. There being none, it was MOVED BY

APPROVAL OF MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY SCHLITZER, COUNCIL
COUNCIL MINUTES APPROVE THE MINUTES OF OCTOBER 18, 1999 AS PRESENTED.
CARRIED.
SPECIAL PRESENTATION Before introducing his proposed 2000 Budget,Mayor Tanner stated for the
Executive: Mayor's record that improvements and investments such as the new City Hall are fully
Presentation of the 2000 funded and need no additional expenditures. Reminding Councilmembers of
Budget his commitment to keep the City's limited general obligation debt under$2
million;he said this figure currently stands at$1,931,000 and the City is not in
the red on any project which has been completed to date. The mayor added that
his proposed budget includes$2.3 million for improvements to the Pavilion
building in the downtown, and although it does not provide funding for a
skateboard park, the Council can decide whether(and how)to reallocate
monies for that purpose.
Mayor Tanner then presented his proposed 2000 Budget to members of the City
Council and Renton residents. He began by reviewing many positive changes
occurring in Renton, including the downtown's new housing,transit center and
piazza, all of which are helping to transform that area into a source of pride and
excitement.
Continuing,the mayor described specific changes occurring throughout
Renton. Work has commenced on redevelopment efforts in the Highlands to
make this area vibrant, safe and appealing. The Kennydale area is changing
fast with the addition of over 400 multi-family and single family residences
being built along Lake Washington Boulevard in addition to those which will
be part of the Southport project at the southern end of the lake. A successful
Port Quendall development would further enhance Kennydale.
The mayor explained that the 2000 Budget was developed using the City's
Business Plan goals as a guideline for decisions. The goals are to:
rw+
October 25, 1999 rrrr, Renton City Council Minutes Page 372
Encourage and support economic development and downtown redevelopment;
Encourage and support neighborhood revitalization;
Improve the City's image in the community and region;
Meet the service demands that contribute to the livability of the community;
and
Work with neighboring jurisdictions to influence agreements that impact
Renton.
To meet some of these goals, the 2000 Budget will add fire staff, implement the
land use code compliance program tested in 1999, address compliance
requirements of the Endangered Species Act, augment information services and
human resources staff,meet the maintenance requirements of the new
downtown park and transit center, allocate $500,000 for street overlays and
neighborhood street and sidewalk improvements, and allocate monies to
complete the downtown Pavilion building to make the adjacent Piazza useful
for many citizen and revenue-generating events.
Mayor Tanner said several key capital projects are critical to the success of the
City's business plan. These are the aforementioned Pavilion building,
downtown parking, Renton High School's performing arts center, and the
Highlands redevelopment. He noted that the City must also anticipate how it
will help pay for the new regional emergency communications facility.
With respect to Initiative 695, the motor vehicle excise tax reduction measure
which will go to voters on November 2nd,Mayor Tanner said if the initiative is
approved, Renton will lose approximately$750,000 annually in general fund
revenues. In addition, the City would have to begin paying for programs which
ensure health care for low-income families. Passage of the initiative would
also likely mean that the City would lose matching funds for key transportation
projects, including improvements to 1-405 relating to the proposed Port
Quendall development.
Continuing, Mayor Tanner warned of several factors which could impact the
City's general basic services of park maintenance and police and fire services.
These include: the need for a dedicated revenue stream for capital investment,
the potential loss of revenue if I-695 is approved,the additional possibility of
new public health care costs, and the assumption that Renton will have to fund
more transportation improvements with local revenues. Although he did not
recommend reducing basic services at this time, he said the City must begin
planning to address the long-term impacts to these services.
Emphasizing that he was not seeking a change in the property tax rate nor any
increases in the City's water, sewer or surface water utility rates,Mayor Tanner
then recommended the following changes:
King County's$0.40 increase in sewer costs to be passed through to Renton
users;
A 2%increase for solid waste costs(a pass-through contained in the solid
waste vendor contract);
A change in golf lesson fees;
A change in animal license fees(the new licenses will be good for two years
and the fee is not being doubled);
A decrease in the gambling tax rate for non-profit bingo operators as mandated
by State law;
An increase in card room tax rate from the current 10%to 20%of receipts; and
A decrease in the pull tab tax rate from five percent of gross revenues to seven
percent of net proceeds,but only if the card room tax of 20% is approved.
October 25, 1999 *t"' Renton City Council Minutes Page 373
Anticipating that the proposed gambling tax changes will be the area of most
debate,Mayor Tanner noted that many neighboring cities do not allow card
rooms, and two that do(Spokane and Federal Way)both assess the 20%tax
rate. The mayor added that gambling businesses previously agreed to this rate
level in exchange for the State law permitting house-banked card games.
Mayor Tanner concluded that his proposed 2000 Budget continues to provide
for basic services,responds to the needs of the City's business plan, invests in
infrastructure, and provides amenities and improvements that will be a legacy
for future generations.
ADMINISTRATIVE Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington reviewed a written administrative
REPORT report summarizing the City's recent progress towards goals and work
programs adopted as part of its business plan for 1999 and beyond. Items noted
included:
* Renton's Drinking Water Quality Report,which was mailed to all utility
customers last week, can also be accessed from the City's web site at
www.ci.renton.wa.us.
* North Renton representatives supported plans to route Sound Transit
express buses from the downtown transit center north on Logan and N. 6th
St., and then north on Park Ave. to I-405.
* The Salvation Army is currently accepting applications from Renton
families who want or need food baskets for Thanksgiving.
AUDIENCE COMMENT Everett Wilcock, 11830 - 164th Ave. SE,Renton, 98059, objected to Renton's
Citizen Comment: Wilcock— proposal that the$2797 fee to be imposed on new homes built in the Issaquah
Issaquah School District School District be reduced by a 10%to 11%administrative fee to be assessed
Impact Fees and collected by Renton. He suggested that,rather than reimburse any
administration costs out of the fee, the City instead charge developers an
additional amount, perhaps $50 to $75 which is roughly the amount charged by
other jurisdictions to administer their impact fees.
Citizen Comment: Fletcher— Connie Fletcher, 18712 SE May Valley Rd., Issaquah,WA, 98027, echoed Mr.
Issaquah School District Wilcock's request that Renton not reduce the amount of funds to be paid to the
Impact Fees Issaquah School District by the proposed method but instead charge developers
a fair fee for this purpose. She felt that the proposed 10% to 11% charge was
too high, saying that it exceeds any other city or county administrative fee by
five times. She emphasized her agreement that the cost of administering this
pass-through fee should not be borne by Renton.
Ms. Fletcher also urged Renton to consider changing its impact fee to the full
$6,100 amount requested by the Issaquah School District before January 1,
2000, should I-695 be approved next month. She appealed to the Council's
sense of fairness regarding this issue, saying that the fee charged by Renton is
much lower than that imposed by other jurisdictions in the school district.
Councilman Corman noted that when Renton decided on the $2797 figure,the
Issaquah School District had not yet passed its bond issue which subsequently
was approved. He questioned if it will cost$279 to administer this fee,and
wondered who should be responsible for paying it.
Saying that this was not an excessive administrative fee considering the costs
involved in collecting it, accounting for it, disbursing it and providing an audit
trail,Mayor Tanner noted that Community Block Grant Development
allocations are subjected to a 15% administrative fee.

Honored Council Members
Dear Council Members,
1999 (2000) Discussion of Budget Reforms Due to 1-695, etc.
My name is Calvino Leon-Miller Neidigh-Kumm, Director of Community of the Triangle Fund [NFP] a not
for profit social service assistance agency helping the low-income, disabled, and homeless, located at
165 14th Avenue, Suite 102, Seattle, WA 98122-5561. My services include Social Security
Representative Payeeships, Washington State DSHS Advocacy, and information and referral to the
deteriorating list of available social service agencies. When the government supplied social services are
exhausted, I come in to help those who can and easily do fall through the cracks of the system. I am here
is support of your social services,the proposed reforms, and against possible cuts in available funding.
In 1990, I was involved in the homeless camp on City of Bellingham city hall lawn, when the city ignored
its homeless youth and allowed the only city shelter to turn them away. This is part of the reason why I
am here today. Nine years later, I handle approximately 500-750 calls a year for advocacy and
assistance, without a charge and out of my commitment to my community. Social services are the
foundation to helping those who have less or nothing.
During the race for Council, many of you have heard me speak of Access Transportation, `True'
low-income and affordable housing, and the quality of life in our respective communities. With the
coming of 1-695 and the realization that the money will be gone, but certain taxes are going to rise, while
social services are decreasing. I beseech you to take this into consideration. The reforms and decreases
you make today will affect you in the future and if you become one of the less fortunate disabled,
low-incomed, and/or homeless. If you cut these where will you be then?
So, in conclusion, thank you for your time and please think seriously about the losses and what the effect
will be on the 60% of our respective communities that rely on these social services.
Sincerely,
Calvino Leon-Miller Neidigh-Kumm, Director
Community of the Triangle Fund [NFP]

THE BUDGET PROCESS
BUDGET AT A GLANCE
The Budget is developed June through September. In each odd
numbered year, the City of Renton adopts a two-year, or
biennial, budget. In the second year of the biennium, the
Mayor and Council review the revenue and the services
provided and determine if significant changes need to be made
to the second year.
As the Mayor reviews the anticipated revenue, his first priority
in either the biennium or for the revised second year is to
continue the same level of services currently provided. This
may require additional funds because the same service level
may cost more. For example, as our City's population
increases, we need more police officers to maintain the same
response times for high crime areas.
Departments estimate the costs of providing existing base
services for the budget year. In addition, they submit requests
for new programs that they would like the Mayor to consider.
The Mayor evaluates the Departments' requests and
recommends new programs for the Council's approval within
the context of the Council's adopted Business Plan Goals.
The Business Plan Goals are adopted in the Spring of each year
during the Mayor and Council strategic planning retreat. At that
time the Executive asks the Council for their policy direction and
the priorities they would like to see in the next budget. That
process is also used to ask the Council if the current level of
service is meeting the needs of our community.
The Mayor's proposed budget must be provided to the Council
by October 31 for the ensuing year. The Mayor also provides
the Council with an estimate of the revenue expected in order
to meet the costs of providing services.
The Council reviews the Budget and the revisions in November
and December. A balanced budget must be approved for all
City expenditures by the beginning of the budget year, which is
January for the City of Renton. The Budget is reviewed and
analyzed in open meetings with two public hearings established
in order to hear citizens' opinions about the City's proposed
expenditures.
2-3
THE BUDGET PROCESS
toe
BUDGET AT A GLANCE
Once the Budget is adopted, it is the responsibility of the Mayor
to ensure that expenditures are made within legal limits. If the
economy changes or unanticipated needs are identified during
the year that require the budget to change, the Mayor
recommends changes to the Budget. All increases must be
approved by a Council adopted ordinance. If the revenues are
not healthy, the Mayor can make decreases to the Budget to
ensure the City does not overspend available resources. In
Renton, if that should occur, the Mayor would work closely with
the Council on the changes that have to be made.
Basis of Accounting. The basis of accounting used determines
when revenue and expenditures or expenses are recognized in
the accounts and reported in the financial statements. All
governmental funds are accounted for using the modified accrual
basis of accounting. Their revenue are recognized when they
become measurable and available. Expenditures are generally
recognized under the modified accrual basis of accounting when
the related fund liability is incurred. All proprietary funds and
Pension Trust Funds are accounted for using the accrual basis of
accounting. Under this basis of accounting, the revenue are
recognized when they are earned and their expenses are
recognized when they are incurred.

investigation team.
The Parks and Recreation budget has been increased for maintenance of the new

CORRESPONDENCE Correspondence was read from Donald F. Daily, President,Daily Homes,Inc.,
Citizen Comment: Daily— 336 Fuhrman Ave. E., Seattle, 98102, stating that he is experiencing difficulty
Downtown Renton Renovation in finding retail tenants for the soon-to-be-completed Renaissance mixed-use
project in Renton's downtown, since prospective tenants cannot either envision
how the downtown core will be renovated, or trust that this will be
accomplished. Mr. Daily specifically wanted to know the City's plans for the
former Mazda garage building along with an estimated schedule of completion
for this project.
Responding to Council President Parker, Mayor Tanner confirmed that the
funds for these improvements are contained in next year's Capital
Improvement Program budget. He added that the Community Services
Committee is investigating the projected cost of managing the Mazda building.
OLD BUSINESS Finance Committee Chair Edwards presented a report recommending adoption

October 18, 1999 Renton City Council Minutes ""r` Page 364
Mayor Tanner explained that this rate increase is proposed for several reasons,
including the annual contractual obligation to the hauler for collection costs,
which is set at 80% of the Consumer Price Index. Additionally, the Solid
Waste Utility owes the Waterworks Fund its share ($50,000) of the new utility
billing system expense.
Responding to Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler, Planning/Building/Public
Works Administrator Gregg Zimmerman said it is not likely that revenue
requirements will increase as a result of renegotiating the solid waste collection
contract for next year. He added that the City can choose to extend the current
contract for the first six months of 2000 while negotiations are completed.

Re: Property Tax issues
Referendum 47, passed by the voters in 1997, changed many things about property tax levies and rates.
The two ordinances before you address required issues of Referendum 47.
Inflation Ordinance. The first ordinance is one that we have had in the past. The new law states that any
increase to the property tax levy must be approved by an ordinance that states the percentage the levy is
going to increase. By state law this must be a separate ordinance. This is the ordinance which has 4.31
percent in the title. This is the amount we are increasing the levy in 2000.
Also, as I have stated previously, any increase above the Implicit Price Deflator (this year the IPD is 1.4
percent) must be passed with a super majority vote.
Protecting Future Levies Ordinance. The second ordinance protects our future base levy. State law
permits us to increase our levy by six percent(6%). The levy is the amount that we generate in taxes. The
rate is a function of the levy. If the City does not impose a six percent increase, and does NOT pass this
ordinance, then our new base is set at the amount generated by 4.1% -- or in 2000 $15,104,195. Next
year the Assessor will begin with that amount to calculate our six percent(6%) lid.
However, if we were to impose the six percent at this time, our base would be $15,348,909. Without the
passage of this ordinance, we automatically reduce any future growth by $250,000. The one time loss of
$250,000 can be managed. However, the loss of this amount is compounded over time. Further, with any
decreases in other revenues sources (i.e. 1-695), we want to make certain we maintain our ability to meet
future financial requirements.
The language of this ordin,,,,.e is most complicated. The date on it is•.errect. We are setting our future
levy (2001) on the maximum base 2000 levy. We are not establishing the levy amount for 2001. We are
not setting any rate amount for future ears. We are only providing the 2001 Council the flexibility to
increase the 2001 levy by any amount they want on the highest possible levy amount. In fact, by passing
this ordinance, it is possible that the 2001 levy will be lower as a percentage basis than this year is. This is
because we will begin the equations with the maximum levy; not the lower levy that we are adopting.
I look forward to discussing these two ordinances with you. I appreciate their complexities. It has taken us
some time to truly understand them in our department.

Re: Gambling Tax Rate Changes
Attached is an ordinance addressing three different gambling tax issues. We will begin to present the
budget on October 25th. On that day, we will illustrate that should Initiative 695 pass, we will not be able to
meet ongoing expenses in the future without these changes to gambling taxes. Further, we will
demonstrate the economy is definitely not as robust as it has been for the past two years. It is not
draconian; we are simply not experiencing growth of more than inflation in many of the sectors. However,
should the economy slow even further, "the future" will be upon us sooner than later.
Bingo Changes. The state has changed the law for our non-profit bingo facilities. State law now limits the
City's taxes to five percent (5%) of net proceeds on bingo games operated by non-profits. Effective
January 1, we will begin to lose $164,000 on an annual basis. Our bingo game businesses are being
operated by non-profit organizations. We currently impose a ten-percent tax(10%) on net proceeds.
Pull-tabs. We are recommending you decrease the pull-tab gambling rate. State law permits significant
flexibility in the rate cities can charge. We are recommending the rate be changed from the current five
percent(5%) of gross to seven percent (7%) of net.
We have updated the information provided to you last spring. This is on Attachment A. As illustrated, the
city currently has 35 businesses with pull-tabs. They must report the amount they pay out in prizes. The
spreadsheet shows that after prizes these businesses are netting somewhere between 16% to 40% on the
total receipts. The "average" is approximately 30%. This means that for every dollar of pull-tabs sold, 70
cents is paid out in prizes.
•
Currently, we are collecting $ ,253 from these businesses at the five permit (5%) of gross rate. (Noted
on the spreadsheet with a "*".) If we change the rate to seven percent (7%) of net we will forego
approximately $260,000 annually. We will collect approximately$188,266 from this tax.
Card Rooms. Our proposal is to increase the card room tax to twenty percent (20%). This will generate
$1.5 million in additional tax dollars. Attachment B illustrates the costs and revenue associated with the
two card rooms we currently have in the City. The businesses report the costs and revenues to the
Gambling Commission. We are using the information as provided to the Gambling Commission.
Section 2 of Attachment B summarizes the information from the quarterly reports. We have the information
separately laid out for both businesses. The business noted as "Number 1" has a "Net Reported as
Gambling Profit" ranging from $1.5 to $1.13 million per quarter. This is after taxes are paid. If the tax rate
were doubled, the profits would then be somewhere between $1.1 to $800,000 per quarter. The numbers
for Diamond Lil's are lower as they are still operating fewer tables.
According to the Gambling Commission, both Federal Way and Spokane have a twenty percent (20%) tax
rate. The State law permits a tax rate of this level. The card room operators helped write the law. Cities
were not included in the writing of the law.
Further, by decreasing the pull-tab rate, both the card rooms will receive a benefit. In the proposal before
you, one will go from paying $81,000 annually to$8,695.
Summary. We are seeing an overall cooling of our economy. If 695 passes and our revenue estimates in
2000 prove to be higher than actual receipts, we will need to make some reductions to our level of
services. The gambling tax increase permits us flexibility in the future to meet the level of service we are
proposing in the 2000 budget.
Further, increasing the card room tax allows us to reformat the equity of the tax. By increasing the card
room, we can pass on pull-tab changes to the small business owner. Each small business owner will pay
an average of $7,000 less in taxes under this proposal. The State has already mandated that we will
decrease taxes on non-profit bingo games. While this is a reasonable and equitable request, it does
reduce our tax base by$164,000 annually.
As stated, we will begin to report on the various things we are seeing in the economy on Monday night.
The increase of the card room tax rate will permit us to lower the costs on our small business people;
continue to maintain services in light of continual assaults on our taxing base, and overall change the
equity of our tax base.
Thank you for your consideration of this proposal. I expect our discussions to be high-spirited, but that we
share common goals of tax equity and maintenance of services.

Re: Animal License Fee Increases
In 1998 we changed the animal license fee from an annual license to a two-year license. We did not
change the actual fees at that time. The two-year license was agreed upon for several reasons.
Primarily, we instituted this because we wanted to minimize the overhead costs. License fees, even on an
annual basis, do not cover the costs of providing animal control and administrative costs.
Animal licenses are issued to promote animal care. They are not issued as a major revenue source.
However, if a cat or dog has a license, and is lost or picked up by our animal control officer, we make every
effort to return it to its home.
The 2000 budget is requesting we increase the license costs. The licenses have not been increased since
1994. Further, as you will note below we are not doubling the costs. Thus, while the actual fee is higher,
the license is now for a two-year period. The fees actually decrease. Finally, as also provided, our costs
continue to be substantially lower than King County's, and we provide a radically higher level of service.
The table below illustrates the changes in the fees.
Animal Current Recommended % Change Two Yr% Change
Dog - Not altered $13.00 $20.00 54% -30%
Dog -Altered $7.00 $10.00 43% -40%
Cat- Not Altered $5.00 $8.00 60% - 25%
Cat-Altered $3.00 $4.50 50% -33%
As the columns are displayeai..rie current not-altered dog costs $13.00 tc�,.,ense. This has been the cost
since 1994. It was the annual cost. We are recommending the cost increase to $20 for a two year license.
This is a 54% increase. However, had we continued the annual program, the same pet owner would have
paid $26.00 over the same two years. Thus, the true cost actually decreases from $26 to $20. This is a
30% savings of$6.
The costs of our animal control program are approximately $80,000. This includes the costs of one officer,
operational costs such as vehicle and operating supplies, and pet care costs. We will generate $26,000
from pet license fees. It would be fair to state the officer responds to more stray and wild animal calls than
from people who have lost their pet. Nonetheless, if the officer locates a lost pet, it is returned -- generally
without further costs.
As you may have read, King County has an aggressive pet licensing program. They have the following
costs for their program:
Type of Animal King County Fees 2000 Renton
Recommended
Fees
Dog - Not altered $55.00 $20.00
Dog -Altered $15.00 $10.00
Cat- Not Altered $55.00 $8.00
Cat-Altered $15.00 $4.50
Obviously, from the table above, it is clear to see that the effort on King County's part is to encourage pet
owners to spay or neuter their animals. Our rates encourage that also, but the gap is not quite as great.
Again, we believe for the costs our citizens are receiving a much more comprehensive level of service.
Please call with any questions you may have regarding this legislation as part of the budget.

Re: Golf Lesson Fee Increases
The only increases proposed at the Golf Course in 2000 are for golf lesson fees. We have attached a
worksheet that outlines the changes proposed for the fees.
The proposed fees are increasing from $5 to $20, depending upon the type of lesson requested. Also
shown is a comparison of the same type of services at surrounding golf facilities. This comparison
illustrates our increased lesson costs will continue to be less than those at other facilities.
The City's position at the golf course has always been that it will pay for itself. These fee increases
continue to help us achieve that goal while also remaining competitive with surrounding jurisdictions.
If you have any questions about these fee increases, please feel free to call Leslie Betlach. Thank you for
your consideration of these increases as part of the 2000 budget process.

PLANNINGBUILDING/PUBLIC WORKS
MEMORANDUM
DATE: October 12, 1999
TO: Mayor Tanner
FROM: Gregg Zimmerman, Administrator
VIA: Lys Hornsby, Utility Systems Director
STAFF CONTACT: Cil Pierce/Sam Star, Principal Financial &Administrative Analyst
SUBJECT: 2000 proposed utility rates and program highlights
RATES
I'm very pleased to report that again there will be no rate increases proposed for the pipe
utilities for 2000. The rates for the Water and Wastewater have remained the same since
January 1, 1996. Surface Water has not had a rate increase since January 1, 1995. In
addition, we are forecasting that these three utilities will not need an increase in 2001, given
current conditions and projections. In 2000, King County Metro will charge single family
households $19.50. Metro has charged $19.10 since January 1,1996.
The primary reason the pipe utilities have been able to get by without rate increases is that
each of the utilities has significantly reduced their capital improvement programs in order to
concentrate on completing existing projects. The robust economy has also brought and system
development charge revenue above projections.
SOLID WASTE UTILITY
We are proposing a 2% rate increase to customers in the Solid Waste Utility. This equates to
about $0.25 per month for one-can residential customers and $1.35 per pick-up, or about$5.40
per month for commercial 6-yard container customers. This rate increase is proposed for
several reasons. First, this utility's fund balance has not yet reached the 8% fund balance as
established in city policy. Currently the fund balance is at 6%. This is the highest it has been in
several years, so the health of the fund is not in jeopardy. However, the cost of meeting the
annual, contractual obligation to the hauler for collection costs (80% of CPI)will be about
$180,000 in year 2000. In addition, the Solid Waste Utility owes the Waterworks Fund its
share ($50,000) of the new utility billing system cost. With future collection costs uncertain as
the bidding process proceeds, this is a prudent measure to take.
Utility rate memo

October 11, 1999
Page 2 "'v
The King County disposal (tipping)fee is not projected to change until 2003. Then a 3%
increase is forecast.
In December we should have some idea of costs for the new collection contract, once the bids
are analyzed. The new contract will be in effect July 1, 2000. We cannot predict the costs
from July 1st onward. We are hoping, however, to avoid any rate increase before January 2000,
particularly with the likelihood of Initiative 1-695 passing. We want to avoid unplanned election
costs if at all possible.

Re: Various Agenda Bills and Draft Ordinances
Attached are seven (active)agenda bills and five draft ordinances. Also, I provided one to you yesterday(Tuesday)that we are
"pulling,"and substituting two different ones for that one. It is marked in red,and refers to future tax levy base.
Also,all five draft ordinances were sent to Ann Santos this afternoon via e mail.
The first item in the attachment is the agenda bill we are pulling and substituting.
The first active agenda bill requests the establishment of a public hearing on property tax rate and levy and for all revenue
sources. We are requesting we set the hearing on November 1. This was NOT provided yesterday.
The second agenda bill and ordinance is required by Referendum 47. The Council must take a proactive vote on increasing the
tax--and certainly above the Implicit Price Deflator. This agenda bill was NOT provided yesterday.
The third agenda bill also refers to the property tax. This one is a bit complicated as the dates may not make sense. Please
believe us. Paul has done more research on this than he can bear, and the ordinance is correct. We are referring to the levy--
pot the rate; and we want the ordinance to refer to the 2000 levy base --- not 2001. This agenda bill was NOT provided
yesterday.
The new animal license fees are noted in the following agenda bill. It is rather simplistic. I provided this one to you yesterday(no
ordinance),and you requested I complete the"Recommended Action"section. Thus,a second one.
The fifth agenda bill refers to gambling tax rates. Again, this was provided yesterday, but I have completed the"recommended
action" on this one. We submitted an ordinance on this earlier this year. State law has changed since the submittal of the
ordinance, so we are adding a section to the ordinance (see last page). As I am certain you know, the Council decided to
address this issue within the context of the 2000 budget.
The sixth agenda bill is to increase golf course lesson fees. It also was provided yesterday. It too is rather straight forwards as is
the ordinance.
The final agenda bill was given to you yesterday, but the recommended action was not included. This one does NOT have an
ordinance. Frankly,we may not have an ordinance by tomorrow. We will have for the Council a policy paper.
ofalit/ We will have policy papers for all the agenda bills by tomorrow. I don't know how, but we will. These need to be included in the
Council's packet for Monday night. These will be delivered to Julia and she will have copies of the agenda bill, draft ordinance
and policy papers for each of these issues.
Pikid Please call with any questions. These are not easy, and I was hoping to wait until we had a budget produced to do these
ordinances. Ah well.

AUDIENCE COMMENT Ralph Evans, 3306 NE 11 th Pl.,Renton, 98056, questioned if the City has plans
Citizen Comment: Evans— to extend Edmonds Ave.NE north to Maple Valley Highway. He felt that the
Traffic Concerns (Bronson La Pianta development should have more than one access,particularly as the
Way/Sunset/Maple Valley route from the Highlands to downtown Renton,via NE 4th and NE 3rd Streets,
Highway Area) is already inadequate for area residents when congestion builds up on Sunset
Boulevard and Bronson Way.
Ms. Lind explained that the secondary access for this project is via Blaine Ave.;
however, staff strongly suggests this steep road be used for emergencies only
due to the difficulty of turning movements. Councilman Corman confirmed
that this issue is one of many being discussed as part of the I-405 corridor
study. Specifically,Renton is looking at whether it would be feasible to
connect Cemetery Road(NE 3rd/NE 4th Street)to Maple Valley Highway east
of this development.
CONSENT AGENDA Items on the consent agenda are adopted by one motion which follows the
listing.
Finance: 2000 Property Tax Finance&Information Services Department recommended approval of an
Rates Zdpd ordinance establishing the 2000 property tax rates for the City of Renton.
Council concur. (See page 355 for legislation.)
CAG: 99-038, EW-3 Well Water Utility Division submitted CAG-99-038,EW-3 Well Drilling project;
Drilling Project,Holt Drilling and recommended approval of the project,authorization for final pay estimate
in the amount of$1,077.44,commencement of 60-day lien period,and release
of retained amount of$2,177.37 to Holt Drilling, Inc., contractor, if all required
releases are obtained. Council concur.
Councilman Edwards asked whether the proposed ordinance relating to next
year's property tax rates should be referred to the Finance Committee. Mayor
Tanner replied that because of questions associated with how I-695, if
approved, would affect this ordinance, Council is being asked to adopt the
legislation before November. The mayor emphasized that Renton is not raising
the basic property tax rate,although it does expect to have more property tax
revenues next year due to new construction and expected increases in assessed
• valuation.
Finance&Information Services Administrator Victoria Runkle added that
State law requires jurisdictions to reserve their right to increase property tax
revenues by the allowed 6% figure one year before they adopt such an increase.
This means that Renton will have to adopt an ordinance before the end of this
year reserving the right to increase property tax revenues up to 6% in 2001.
The final decision on whether or not to increase the revenues will not be made
until the end of next year.

Construction Activities for construction activity in or near residential neighborhoods. In addition,the
letter suggested that the scale of projects should be considered in establishing
construction work hours.
The Committee discussed existing hours that restrict new construction
occurring in or within 300 feet of residential areas. City Code states that for
single family remodels or single family additions, construction activity is
restricted to take place between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.Monday
through Friday. Work on Saturdays and Sundays is restricted to occur between
the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. For commercial,multi-family,new
single family and other non-residential construction activities,work is
permitted to occur only between the hours of 7:00 a.m.to 8:00 p.m.Monday
through Friday,and between 9:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. on Saturday,with no
work permitted on Sunday. Exceptions include interior work such as laying
carpet or painting. Additional limitations and restrictions can be imposed on
individual projects through the environmental review process.
The Committee acknowledged that further restricting the permitted
construction hours could extend the length of construction for many proposals.
In addition,mitigation measures can be imposed on individual projects to
restrict hours beyond Code requirements. For these reasons, the Committee
decided that revisiting the permitted construction hours in residential areas was
not necessary at this time. MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER,

From: Victoria A. Runkl f4—
Re: 2000 Property Tax Levy and Rate
Attached is the ordinance for the 2000 property tax levy and rate. The Mayor's proposed 2000 Budget is still being
prepared. However, due to the outstanding questions on Initiative 695,we are recommending that we pass the levy
and rate prior to the vote on Initiative 695.
We are recommending the 2000 levy rate remain the same as the 1999 rate. The assumptions for base AV and new
construction will permit us to continue our$3.42 per$1,000 of Assessed Value levy and meet the requirements of
the 2000 budget.
The Assessor is continually changing our assessed valuation numbers. However, at this time, we feel confident we
can set the levy amount at $15,104,195. This amount added to the collections for new construction, and the
amount we will collect from the County for the annexations that took place after March 1 of this year, will result in
total collections of$15,450,000. This levy is 4.3 percent above our 1999 levy amount.
If we are not increasing the rate, then why do we need to pass the ordinance at this time? Are we actually
increasing taxes? The answer to these questions is difficult. We increase the amount of taxes we are collecting by
the mere fact our assessed valuation grows through new construction and revaluations. Given that, the language of
1-695 is open to serious interpretation. The City of Renton has not taken the legal six percent for the past three
years. Taking this action now will only guarantee we are preserving, at least, the option of assessing new property
and increasing assessed values at the same rate we are today.
Also, please note, the requested rate and levy is $290,000 short of the original 2000 proposed budget. We can
absorb this decrease. The original estimate for the levy amount was$15,745,000. While I expect to see even more
new construction, it is clear we will not be able to meet our expectations of having $150 million on the rolls by the
end of the assessors process. This is major difference between the new and original assumptions.
Analysis of several levy and rate options. The attached analysis illustrates several options. In any analysis, we
must begin with the levy for 1999. This was $14,480,103. Legally we are allowed to increase that amount by 6
percent. The first column provides the levy and rate at that legal limit.
The base AV of$4.3 billion is the most recent information from the Assessor. As of October 5th, we have over$98
million in new construction. The new construction number will only increase. In fact, it has been increasing weekly.
The base AV can actually decrease. It has been moving in both directions over the past month. This is the result of
many issues that cannot be resolved at this time.
If we did increase our levy amount by the six percent(6%), we would end up with a rate of$3.47 per$1,000 of AV.
This is illustrated at the bottom of the analysis. This is 1.61 percent above our current rate.
The remaining columns work exactly the same way. The proposed rate and levy is shaded, and is the fourth
column. The final two columns are noted as "IPD 1.41%" and "To Meet Budget." Anything above the Implicit Price
Deflator increase requires a super majority vote of the Council. As you can see at the bottom of the column, if we
increase our levy by only the IPD amount, then we would essentially be $710,000 short of budget. This would be a
difficult amount to absorb,especially in light of other things we are seeing.
The final column illustrates that to meet our budget, we would have to increase our levy rate by 6.35 percent.
Clearly,this is illegal. Thus, again, our original estimate cannot be sustained.
Other necessary actions. Referendum 47 significantly changed the calculation of property taxes. One of the most
major changes is that when an entity does not take its full six percent, the foundation to calculate the future six
percent levy is based upon the lower base. We have, in Renton, not been concerned about this as our economy is
growing. However, this year, it seems prudent to us that we may want to build into the future as much flexibility as
possible. In order to provide this flexibility, the Council will need to pass an ordinance essentially stating they
reserve the right to increase the base levy. The Finance Department is researching the legal issues related to this
ordinance, and will be presenting one to you within the next couple of weeks for your review and consideration.
The passage of this ordinance will, in no way, require future Councils to impose any different level of taxes. It simply
reserves total flexibility. The Administration encourages the Council to adopt this ordinance due to the unknowns of
future tax reductions and other external influences on our fiscal position. Again, this ordinance will be prepared
within the next two weeks and provided to you for your consideration.
Summary. Passing the attached ordinance only ensures we levy the current rate in 2000. It assumes we will
continue the current level of services. If during the budget process, the Council wants to decrease the property tax
levy or rate, the passage of this ordinance does not preclude them from doing so. We believe Initiative 695 only
responds to the increases of taxes--not any decreases.
Again, as you can see in the ordinance, we are fixing the levy rate to$3.42 per$1,000 of AV. This guarantees that
no matter what assessed valuation changes occur between now and the end of the year, we will not increase the
amount of taxes we will collect. If assessed values decrease over the next month, the fixing of the rate may have a
small impact on the actual taxes collected. However, we believe the assessed valuations will generally only
increase from this point forward.
Finally, the Council will be receiving, at least, one more ordinance relating to property taxes. We expect to have
further discussions with you about this.
Thank you for you consideration of this ordinance.

APPROVAL OF MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY CLAWSON, COUNCIL APPROVE
COUNCIL MINUTES THE MINUTES OF SEPTEMBER 27, 1999 AS PRESENTED. CARRIED.
SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS Mayor Tanner explained that the City invited both a proponent and an opponent
Council: Initiative 695 (MVET of Initiative 695 to make brief presentations of their positions before the
Rollback and Voter Approval Council this evening. The initiative,which will go before voters to be decided
Required for Tax&Fee in November,has the following ballot wording: "Shall voter approval be
Increases) required for any tax increase, license tab fees be$30 a year for motor vehicles,
ert3q(2*r• and existing taxes be repealed?" Robert Burmeister presented the"pro"
2 argument while Jay Arnold presented the"against"argument. Mr. Arnold won
the coin toss and elected to go second in the presentations.
Mr. Burmeister felt that state and local jurisdictions should approach their
budgets in the same manner in which he did his own personal one, and make
necessary adjustments only an as-needed basis. Saying that Washington state
does not need a$1 billion surplus, he added that Colorado voters enacted
legislation similar to this in 1992 without any ill effects. He concluded that
Washington taxpayers need a break, and the Motor Vehicle Excise Tax
(MVET)has gotten out of control.
Jay Arnold, a volunteer for the"No on I-695"campaign, said although the
initiative's simple message has broad public appeal, the underlying issues are
quite complicated. Claiming that I-695 has major, serious flaws,he said it will
harm roads,transportation projects and transit throughout the state. It would
also cut other important state and local programs which many people support.
Mr. Arnold explained that revenue from the MVET is distributed as follows:
49%to state transportation programs, 29%to local transit, and 24%to local
governments for transportation, criminal justice, and other purposes. If the
initiative passes, up to $1.1 billion would be lost in the current biennium and
$1.7 billion in the 2001-2003 biennium. This would affect local transit districts,
city and county criminal justice systems, county public health departments,key
state transportation programs(including the ferry system)and the state's sales
tax equalization program,which gives assistance to poorer cities and counties.
Continuing,Mr. Arnold described the potential impacts to transportation
projects, saying that I-695 would completely negate the benefits of Referendum
October 4, 1999 "■+' Renton City Council Minutes Noe'
Page 340
49 which are only now beginning to be realized. Specifically, $7 billion in
funding for transportation projects would be lost over the next six years. Up to
74,000 construction-related jobs would disappear, and many public employees
would also lose their jobs,including police officers and firefighters. Metro
alone would lose nearly 25%of its budget.
Mr.Arnold added that Washington's ten largest environmental groups oppose
the initiative because it would increase traffic congestion while simultaneously
cutting the state's air pollution account by$17 million to$23 million.
Mr.Arnold said another troubling aspect of the initiative is the fact that it would
require voter approval of all tax and fee increases. This would include such
things as copies at the local library,admission to public zoos, and school locker
fees. Additionally, elections would have to be held every two months at a cost
of up to$800,000 per election in King County alone. Mr.Arnold noted that
Washington state has over 1,000 taxing jurisdictions, all of which would have to
seek voter approval for any increase in taxes or fees if I-695 is approved.
Mr.Arnold clarified that Colorado's initiative did not require voter approval of
all fee increases, as I-695 would. In fact, when they had previously been asked
to approve such a proposal, Colorado's voters refused to do so. He emphasized
that most states which have tab fees as low as $30 also have state income taxes.
In rebuttal,Mr. Burmeister stated that after Colorado passed its initiative, 76%
of the tax increases proposed to its voters were approved. He felt this indicated
that people are willing to pay for what they want, such as adequate public safety
resources. He emphasized that Washington's MVET comprises only two
percent of the entire state budget,and thus cannot have that great of an impact
as its opponents are claiming.
In rebuttal,Mr. Arnold explained that the 2% figure cited by 1-695 supporters
includes such things as federal funds,bonds and matching funds,none of which
is controlled or appropriated by the state legislature. He added that promoting
this 2% figure ignores the fact that transit budgets will be hit hard, as will
various communities which are less well-off than others across the state.
As far as Colorado,Mr. Arnold said that state's voters did not cut any of their
taxes with their initiative,nor did they require voter approval for all fee
increases. Colorado has a state income tax along with a MVET and sales and
gas taxes. Also, Colorado residents have a higher per-household tax burden,
averaging 6.8% of each household's total income, than Washington residents do
at 5.7%.
Council President Parker held the state legislature partly responsible for the
appeal to voters of I-695 as he felt it has not been sufficiently responsive to the
state's transportation needs. Saying that the efficient movement of goods and
services is a high priority issue for Washington, he was concerned that Renton
be able to move forward on several key transportation projects, including the
completion of Oakesdale Ave. SW,the extension of Strander Blvd. and the road
improvements related to Port Quendall.
Referring to this area's ongoing concerns about family wage jobs and human
services needs, Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler said it would be illogical to
charge those who can afford to buy more expensive vehicles the same license
fee as those who cannot afford a nicer or newer car.
Mr. Burmeister replied that purchasers of more expensive vehicles also pay
more sales tax upfront, which goes into the state's general fund. He suggested
that if the MVET is lowered, more people will upgrade to a better car.
October 4, 1999 Nome Renton City Council Minutes '`ftw Page 341
Responding to a question from Councilmember Clawson regarding the
importance of the state's rainy day fund,Mr.Burmeister felt that the state
should not keep more than a six-month reserve, if any. He added that residents
would likely spend any money the state gave back to them, which would benefit
the economy.
Replying to Councilman Edwards,City Attorney Lawrence J. Warren said it is
within Council's purview to take a formal position on any ballot proposition,
should it desire to do so. (See page 342 for further discussion of this subject.)
ADMINISTRATIVE Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington reviewed a written administrative
REPORT report summarizing the City's recent progress towards goals and work
programs adopted as part of its business plan for 1999 and beyond. Items noted
included:
* Transportation Operations has moved its traffic computer from the old
municipal building to its temporary new location at Fire Station 11. The
entire fifth floor of this building will now be leased to icopyright.
* On October 16th, volunteer naturalists will provide information at the
Renton Library and Riverview Park on spawning salmon,the Cedar River's
history, and the life cycle and habitat needs of its fish.
* The Human Services Division's Housing Repair Program had yet another
successful summer,having painted 19 houses, cleaned gutters at 47
residences,trimmed shrubs and bushes at 41 homes, and hauled yard debris
from 28 others.
Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler suggested that the home repairs which
remain on the City's waiting list be referred to the Christmas in April program.
AUDIENCE COMMENT Lee Ford, 372 Stevens Ave. SW, Renton, said that I-695's impacts to Renton
Citizen Comment: Ford— would not be great as the City stands to lose only about$625,000 out of its total
Initiative 695 $130 million budget. Mayor Tanner clarified that Renton's general fund,which
is the portion of the budget that would be affected by a MVET reduction, is$54
million.
Continuing,Mr.Ford suggested that the state could license vehicles every two
years rather than every year to save on administrative costs. He objected to the
fact that the state's transportation division awarded a contract to Georgetown
University in Washington,D.C. to study marine safety at a cost of$750,000,
when he felt it could have obtained the same information from the Washington
State Coast Guard for free. He said the state's current MVET is atrocious to the
average taxpayer.
Councilman Edwards invited Mr. Ford to stay engaged with the City during its
upcoming budget deliberations, especially if the 1-695 passes and Renton must
figure out how it will accomplish various desired transportation projects.
Mayor Tanner commented that on top of losing$625,000 in revenue if the
initiative is approved, Renton would also have to pay another$600,000 for
health care costs for low-income,uninsured residents who are currently covered
through MVET revenue. Thus the total minimal impact to Renton would be
more than $1.2 million.
Councilman Corman was troubled by the proposal that voters must decide all
tax and fee increases, saying this would place a huge burden on voters to
educate themselves about all possible increases and the implications associated
with approving or rejecting each one. He noted that a Renton resident would
October 4, 1999 ``"°'' Renton City Council Minutes Page 342
have to consider every tax and fee increase proposed for not only the city,but
also those for the entire state and for King County as well as for their individual
fire district, school district, and public hospital district. (See later this page for
further discussion of this issue.)
CONSENT AGENDA Items on the consent agenda are adopted by one motion which follows the
listing.

existing City limits on the East Renton Plateau. Council concur.
MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY SCHLITZER, COUNCIL
APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA AS PRESENTED. CARRIED.
OLD BUSINESS Councilman Schlitzer reminded Council that it adopted a Community Services
Parks: Skateboard Park in Committee report on May 11, 1999 in which it stated its intent to"expedite the
Renton siting and construction of a skateboard parr'in Renton. He asked the
Administration for assistance in determining the estimated cost of such a park.
Mayor Tanner replied that he did not consider this to be an essential item and
therefore will not include it in his proposed budget for next year; however,
Council can always reappropriate the estimated $150,000 cost if it so chooses.
He suggested that Council take this matter up after the Mayor's proposed
budget is presented on November 1st
Responding to Councilman Clawson,Mayor Tanner agreed to have Community
Services Administrator Jim Shepherd report to Council on the steps necessary
to site and build a skateboard park, including potential issues associated with
such a facility.
Finance Committee Finance Committee Substitute Chair Keolker-Wheeler presented a report

Council: Initiative 695 (MVET Councilman Schlitzer said he received and has reviewed three different packets

Increases) would disrupt government as it is currently known, and that it would be very
difficult for the various governmental entities to administer. He opposed the
initiative.
MOVED BY EDWARDS, SECONDED BY SCHLITZER, COUNCIL GO ON
RECORD AS OPPOSING INITIATIVE 695.*
Councilman Edwards said this proposition has numerous problems, including
the fact that voters would be required to make complex decisions affecting
• October 4, 1999 "%se Renton City Council Minutes Nor Page 343
everyone although only one in four registered voters,on average,voted in the
last primary election. He felt it would be more appropriate to have the local
school board decide what it should charge students for lunches and other
services than for disinterested or uninformed voters to make such decisions. He
added that the last thing Washington state needs at this time is to forfeit its
recent progress in the area of transportation improvements, as these are greatly
needed in many areas to help relieve congestion.
Councilman Clawson said because of the way the initiative is worded, it is not
Icompletely clear what effects it would have if it was approved. Adding that the
initiative was conceived in anger and is probably meant to punish legislators for
playing games with taxpayer funds,he said the problem is that it punishes all
jurisdictions, including cities and school districts. Emphasizing that the way to
properly run a city is to hire the best people possible and pay them well to do
their jobs, since this saves money,he said an initiative that is passed out of
anger will not have a good result. He concluded by sympathizing with the
frustrations voiced by many voters, and pledged to work to cut out waste and
ensure that constituents receive good value for their money.
Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler said most of the general public is less than
enamored of the legislature, in part because the state plays games with taxpayer
funds and programs which people take seriously. The public has also grown
exasperated with how partisan politics have overtaken real issues in terms of
importance. She agreed with Mr. Clawson that rather than pass this initiative
out of frustration,voters should instead find a solution that does not punish
everyone right down to the human services level which serves those who can
least afford to pay for health care and other necessities of life.
Council President Parker added that someone has to pay for the things which
government provides, including street signs,roads, sidewalks and water. He
emphasized that it is properly the role of public officials in a representative
democracy to make decisions regarding appropriate fees for programs and
services. He wondered if the electorate should--or wants to--determine
appropriate landing fees for aircraft, or whether school locker fees should be
raised by five cents. Saying such a scenario would not be effective or
productive,he predicted that if the initiative passes, it will advance to the courts
where it would be ruled unconstitutional. He concluded that while he
understood why this initiative was written,he fully believed that it would erode
the most basic principles of representative government.

August 23, 1999 Council Chambers

PRESS Robert Teodosio,Renton Reporter
APPROVAL OF MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL APPROVE
COUNCIL MINUTES THE MINUTES OF AUGUST 16, 1999 AS PRESENTED. CARRIED.
SPECIAL Barbara Kraus,Neighborhood Specialist,presented certificates awarding
PRESENTATIONS project funding through the City's Neighborhood Grant Program to the
EDNSP: Neighborhood Grant following project coordinators: Ed Plunkett,representing the Victoria Hills
Awards Program Homeowners' Association; Kim Browne, from the Kennydale Neighborhood
Association; Tina Cullers, also from Kenmydale; Ruth Larson, from the Renton
Hill Community Association; Jim King, from Lakeview; Mary Guettler, from
Monterey Terrace; and Kelli Patch, from Ponderosa Estates. Herb Postlewait
could not be in attendance to accept the certificate awarding funding for
Kennydale's new welcome signage.
Councilman Corman noted that all of the projects will be accomplished with
matching funding from the benefiting neighborhood,and/or in-kind donations
from area residents.
Executive: Initiative 695 — Victoria Runkle, Finance&Information Services Administrator,reported on
Potential Local Impacts the potential impacts of Initiative 695,which will be before Washington state
voters this November. The initiative would reduce all vehicle registration costs
XD . to$30 per vehicle. It would also require that any governmental fee and tax
increases effective January 1,2000,be approved by voters.
The initiative is already having some effect,just by being placed on the ballot.
For example, last year's approval of Referendum 49 required the state to
allocate 75%of motor vehicle excise tax(MVET)revenues to transportation
purposes. As a result of I-695 garnering enough signatures to be put on the
ballot,however, the state has refused to issue bonds for major projects pending
the outcome of the election.
If I-695 is approved,Renton will lose up to $625,000 in state-shared revenue
August 23, 1999 NeroRenton City Council Minutes , Page 295
from the MVET. Some of these funds($75,000) would have gone toward
special public safety programs addressing the problems of domestic violence
and at-risk youth. The remainder would have helped offset Renton's public
safety(police and fire)costs.
Continuing,Ms.Runkle said because 3.1%of the MVET revenue total is
currently allocated to cover county health costs,a drastic reduction in the
amount collected would probably mean that cities would once again have to
pay for these costs directly. Renton's estimated annual expense would be
$620,000, on top of the lowered MVET revenues.
Finally,passage of the initiative would significantly impact state,regional and
local transportation projects. The State's 1999-2001 budget forecasts that, in
those three years, WSDOT would spend$480 million on transportation
projects, transit agencies would receive $455 million,the ferry system$201
million, and HOV improvements would total $35 million. If these figures are
reduced to the level foreseen by I-695,Renton would experience significant
reductions in bus service at all times of the day. The City would also receive
far fewer transportation grants than it currently enjoys. As far as specific
projects, improvements to the I-405/44th St. interchange would not be made,
nor would the SR-167/I-405 junction be reconfigured.
Additionally, the Municipal Research Services Center, a statewide agency
which provides a clearinghouse of information for all cities and counties, is
fully funded by the MVET and stands to be severely affected by 1-695.
Ms. Runkle added that another potential impact is that the City's borrowing
costs would increase. Also, election costs would run$25,000 to $45,000 per
year. And although preparing an annual budget is already a lengthy and time-
consuming process,the cost to do so would substantially increase since the City
would have to prepare two budgets—one assuming no fee or tax increases and
the other assuming normal increases, should the voters deign to approve them.
Referring to language in the initiative which repeals the prohibition against
taxing vehicles as personal property,Ms. Runkle assumed that, if the initiative
is approved,the County Assessor would likely begin to assess and tax vehicles
in addition to homes and other real estate.
Concluding,Ms.Runkle said the Administration has asked departments to start
preparing possible reductions in programs and services in case the initiative
passes.
Responding to Mayor Tanner regarding potential impacts to the Downtown
Transit Center,Transportation Systems Director Sandra Meyer said although
the hub's construction would not be affected by 1-695,the City would expect
that transit service levels would likely decrease if the initiative is approved.
Ms:Meyer noted that the transit center was designed and will be built,then,to
accommodate a level of service that may not materialize due to I-695.
Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler noted that the City is required,as all
municipalities are,to fully fund water and sewer services. She wondered how
this would be accomplished if the costs of doing so rose,but voters rejected
rate increases. Ms. Runkle said one option would be to use general
governmental funds for this purpose,which would be a sharp departure from
the City's current practice which is to fully fund the water and sewer budgets
from rates.
Councilman Corman added that the City currently requires that the cost of
numerous development services be fully borne by the applicants. If expenses
•

rose but fee increases were not approved,the City would be prohibited from
recouping these costs from developers, and a subsidy would thus be created for
such services. He pointed out that the MVET is deductible on everyone's
federal income tax return, while other taxes and charges are not.
Councilman Schlitzer reported that the first poll taken on this issue showed that
78%of the population was in favor of the initiative. The latest poll,however,
indicated an approval percentage lower than 60%.
Couniclmember Keolker-Wheeler suggested that Council host a debate on this
issue, after which it could take a formal position via resolution.
PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in
Planning: Off-Street Parking accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Tanner opened the public hearing
Regulations in Multi-Family to consider the proposed Parking Code amendments modifying off-street
Zones parking regulations in the Residential Multi-Family Neighborhood(RM-N),
Residential Multi-Family Center(RM-C), and Residential Multi-Family Infill
(RM-I)zones, standardizing dwelling type nomenclature, and providing for
tandem parking.
Don Erickson, Senior Planner, explained that the changes are being proposed
due to the fact that current ratios of off-street parking per dwelling unit may not
adequately address the real need for parking in some multi-family zones. Staff
recommends that the off-street parking provisions in the RM-N, RM-C and
RM-I zones be increased from 1.75 spaces per unit to 2.0 spaces per unit. This
would be accomplished by increasing the ratio of required guest parking from
0.25 spaces per unit to 0.50 spaces per unit. A further change would require
guest parking when a development has two or more units (as compared to the
current requirement for guest parking when a development has five or more
units).
Staff also recommends that tandem parking be allowed in these zones as it is
similarly allowed in single family and semi-attached residences. Such parking
would be assigned to the exclusive use of specific dwelling units. Mr. Erickson
noted that if the guest parking ratio is increased and tandem parking is allowed
at the same time, the actual amount of off-street parking per unit would
increase to 2.5 spaces per unit.
Mr. Erickson added that the proposed changes include a housekeeping change
to standardize dwelling nomenclature in the City Code. Specifically,the term
"single family"would be changed to"detached and semi-attached"and"two-
family","multi-family"and"apartment houses"would be changed to"attached
residential dwellings".
Responding to Council President Parker, Mr. Erickson estimated that,under
existing zoning, five to ten parcels would be affected by the new regulations.
Councilman Clawson noted that the proposed changes came about due to
problems experienced by the Fire Department in certain developments.
Oftentimes, faced with an inadequate number of parking spaces,residents
and/or visitors park their vehicles in designated fire lanes or turn-around areas.
Audience comment was invited. There being none,it was MOVED BY
KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY PARKER, COUNCIL CLOSE THE
PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. (See page 299 for ordinance.)
