STAFF RECOMMENDATION: H1FINANCE\ADMINSUP\Z_AgendaB ills\Third Quarter Report.doc • *400 CITY OF RENTON moil Finance & Information Services Department MEMORANDUM Date: October 13, 2000 To: Randy Corman, Council President King Parker, Finance Committee Chair City Council Members :L. Via: .—Jesse Tanner, Mayor �rr_l 1 cc: Jay Covington, Chief Administrative Officer Paul Kusakabe, Fiscal Services Director Jill Masunaga, Finance Analyst III Brody O'Harran, Finance Analyst I From: Victoria Runkle, FIS Administrator 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 Randy Corman, Council Presider King Parker, Finance Committee tnair October 13,2000 Page 2 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. H:finance:finance:Third Quarter Report.doc Randy Corman, Council Pent King Parker, Finance Committee Chair October 13, 2000 Page 3 • 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. Percent of Budget As of Sept 30 100% • 75% 25/0 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. H:finance:finance:Third Quarter Report.doc Randy Corman, Council Presides King Parker, Finance Committee Chair October 13, 2000 Page 4 • 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. H:finance:finance:Third Quarter Report.doc Randy Corman, Council FINIIIedent King Parker, Finance Committee Chair October 13, 2000 Page 5 • 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. H:finance:finance:Third Quarter Report.doc / 4.1 40, 41. =.11 j‘IP 1\) v4IPA ""r( c m a N a Q 3 58 CD CD 0.)

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.

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. H:\DIVISION.S\UTILITIE.S\DOCS\2000-448.doc\RJS\tb CITY OF RENTON PLANNING/BUILDING/PUBLIC WORKS MEMORANDUM DATE: October 2, 2000 TO: Randy Corman, President City Council Members VIA: � Mayor Jesse Tanner FROM: Gregg Zimmer11C " , Administrator Planning/Building/Public Works Department STAFF CONTACTS: Lys Hornsby (x-7239) Ron Straka (x-7248) 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. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM CATEGORY EXPENDITURE/APPROPRIATION REVIEW CATEGORY: MAJOR MAINTENANCE EXPENDITURES PROJECT NAME 2000 Actual Estimated Projected Budget Budget To Date Future End of Remaining Year (1/00-9/00) (10/00 - 12/00) Total Cedar River Basin Plan CIP $100,000 $37,787 $35,608 $73,395 $26,605 Green River Ecosystem Study $10,000 $733 $7,200 $7,933 $2.067 Small Drainage Problems $200,000 $104,338 $241,195 $345,533 ($145,533) Program Cedar River Sediment $150,000 $323,527 $180,000 $503,527 ($353,527) Management Program May Creek Basin Plan $50,000 $779 $4,000 $4,779 $45,221 Implementation Misc/Emergency Storm $50,000 $50,000 $50,000 $0 Projects TOTALS: $560,000 $467,164 $518,003 $985,167 ($425,167) H:\DI V ISION.S\UTI LITI E.S\DOCS\2000-447.doc\RJ S\tb vow lukow October 2, 2000 Page 3 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.

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.

Legal Dept Finance Dept X Other Fiscal Impact: Expenditure Required... $30,000.00 Transfer/Amendment Amount Budgeted Revenue Generated $30.000.00 Total Project Budget _ City Share Total Project.. 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.

EDNSP: King County Comp Planning&Development Committee Chair Keolker-Wheeler presented a report 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 joint letter to the King County Council supporting the proposed Map Amendment 2 to the King County Comprehensive Plan.

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 t Naive CITY OF RENTON, WASHINGTON ORDINANCE NO. 4 8 3 7 ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF RENTON, WASHINGTON, AMENDING THE 2000 ANNUAL BUDGET BY INCREASING EXPENDITURE ALLOWANCES FOR TENANT IMPROVEMENTS TO CITY FACILITIES, INCREASING FACILITY OPERATING COSTS, AND PROVIDING FOR FUND AUTHORITY AND INTERFUND LOAN.

Runkle, FIS Administrator Staff Contact: Dennis Culp, 6606 ictoria Runkle, 6858 Diit 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.

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 following chronology identifies the leases to date. 8. February to April, 1999 iCopyright Floors, 4-6, 200 Mill 9.

SPECIAL PRESENTATION Responding to discussion during this evening's Committee of the Whole, Budget: 2000.Pavilion Mayor Tanner stated that the Pavilion Building is fully funded in his proposed Building Funding 2000 Budget,by means of the following fund balances: the 201,207, 212 and 215 Limited General Obligation fund for$695,477; the 220 fund for LID debt service for$286,262; the LID guaranty fund for$245,993; the 316 fund for $192,172; and the 502 insurance fund for$697,000(after all payments). The mayor emphasized that funding for this project is not contingent on increasing 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 acceptance of the 60%petition and the first public hearing on the proposed 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. • November 22, 1999 'r✓ Renton City Council Minutes Page 417 SAD: East Kennydale Sewer Wastewater Utility Division requested authorization to create Special Interceptor,No. 0016 Assessment District No. 0016 to ensure fair share cost participation for all parcels benefitting from the East Kennydale Sewer Interceptor. Refer to Utilities Committee. MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY EDWARDS, COUNCIL APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA AS PRESENTED.* Responding to Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler, Mayor Tanner said the proposed list of Municipal Court Judge Pro Tems reflects nominations from the Municipal Court Administrator. He added that everyone who served this year 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 movies. He feared that if the legislation is written too broadly, it could fail on such a technicality. *MOTION CARRIED. 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. Nage 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.

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, c Inez P.

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. a , November 15, 1999 Renton City Council Minutes Page 406 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.

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.

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. 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: * The City received the State's share of the Cedar River Flood Control • NNW NNW 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. Page 3 of 3 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. 99169JT:mp RECEIVED CITY OF RENTON NOV 0 41999 MEMORANDUM MAYORS OFFICE DATE: November 4, 1999 TO: Councilwoman Kathy Keolker-Wheeler, and Members,Renton City Council FROM: Marilyn Petersen, City Cler SUBJECT: Verbatim Transcripts- Committee of the Whole and Council Meetings In response to a request by Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler, attached are verbatim transcripts of Ms.Keolker-Wheeler's comments regarding the budget at the October 25, 1999, Committee of the Whole and Council meetings. Also attached is a verbatim transcript of Ms.Keolker-Wheeler's comments in response to Mayor Tanner's letter at the November 1, 1999, Council meeting. If we can provide further information,please feel free to call at X6502. cc: Mayor Jesse Tanner Jay Covington, CAO 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. *** REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING October 25, 1999 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. *** Other comments made by Mrs. Keolker-Wheeler at the regular 10/25/99 Council meeting pertained to the Issaquah School District impact fees (the history of this proposal& Renton's concerns about how the money will be spent), and to the Southport project& a suggested community meeting with the developer. No further comments were made regarding the 2000 Budget. ,41104 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. • 4...0 r..r 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?

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. Financial Information Revenues and Expense's Revenues Sale of Property $475,000 Sales Tax on Construction 54,400 (80%of$8 million x.0085) Mitigation Fees 121,178 Total Revenues $650,578 Expenses Sources of Funds Reallocation New Funding Reconfiguration of Smithers,Logan Third NA Gateway Feature $ 50,000 Street and Pedestrian Improvements on Logan $200,000 150,000 Imo Development of Piazza(first phase) 200,000 35,000 r Development of Seattle Pipeline ROW 250,000 Purchase of Property N. of Seattle Pipeline 35,000 Total City Investment $400,000 $520,000 Estimated Annual Revenues from Project Revenues Property Tax $30,000 Sales Tax 5,000 (4,600 sf x$125/year x .0085) Total $35,000 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.

CITY OF RENTON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, NEIGHBORHOODS, AND STRATEGIC PLANNING MEMORANDUM DATE: July 23, 1998 TO: Bob Edwards, President City Council Members FROM: Jesse Tanner, Mayor STAFF CONTACT: Sue Carlson Glenn Kost 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. TOTAL $180,000 Add Authorized Change Orders $12,000 Add Contingency $8,000 $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. May 20, 1998 r.

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 November 1, 1999 "'r' Renton City Council Minutes Page 388 for the Pavilion building, at Council's direction.

(See page 389 for ordinance.) w «.w 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. 99169JT:mp November 1, 1999 `"r' Renton City Council Minutes Page 387 CORRESPONDENCE Correspondence was read from Connie Fletcher, School Board President for Citizen Comment: Fletcher— Issaquah School District No.411,565 NW Holly St.,Issaquah, 98027,asking Issaquah School District that Renton impose any administrative fees charged in addition to the school Impact Fees impact fee on the developer applicant.

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 t" r'r •„lam• '~ 4= /1 Ec,1 2 DO' CASINO RESTAURANT & LOUNGE OCT 2 October 29, 1999 Renton City Hall 1055 South Grady Way Renton, Washington 98055 Dear Renton City Council: I would like to make you aware of our plan to place an enhanced card room in your city.

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 RENTON CITY COUNCIL Regular Meeting November 1, 1999 Council Chambers Monday,7:30 p.m. MINUTES Renton City Hall CALL TO ORDER Mayor Jesse Tanner led the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag and called the meeting of the Renton City Council to order.

CARRIED. 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.

PRESS Robert Teodosio,Renton Reporter 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. wor mow m Tm m to ' . �To a)-o co • o-o ' m C T= - - .cg«.o m.,v c ...c coo.- m Es•-= S c OatA C Z OI- ct-c V cn ate'mU E Zf O o LLo 0)as v 000-CD al O L cm m J m E cp io OC c+?,o co m"- aa-arn Rom: ^_Umo, a' a >,00L co: '.— • m• moif6¢ y yd a & E � o O 16 0 O N � C a O_ O.2 pc 0 rW �, t O C?8;0� O > o L N m 0O= 0cO N6)N� C y � oWU m 5 p ~ / U ,,m > cCccmm• me 2.c0:T . 411 W ac � Edc'vm >'31�EoE0 kf, ir UUmC- p.mmdCC6EEoay ` ~ mc O . ., .nyO mU 2p.Tm O o o c0 >mo—cEn•a o N 0oitLco U ZcZa)'0Faco¢ E 'mUZLo ;o 4 a) cis cmUacCNm � C Oat O } o :F. 2 C E o O C .L.X<rM0 • ..moo-' � >, L ‘l it Y COCI) O �• .0 00 a) c cu U o w �, IP Ot U N 744410 c6 a) x •- 0 0 O O O :::::q..., ...........,.

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.

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. 2-4 ir•io SCHEDULE OF THE BUDGET PROCESS BUDGET AT A GLANCE k.

The cost of each budget decision is shown to the nearest dollar, along with any increases in staffing. Changes to Public Safety programs include the addition of two new firefighters and another aid car. This increase in firefighters will restore the service level in the downtown core area and enable the increased use of an aid car at Fire Station 11. A fire inspector and a vehicle have also been added in 2000 in order to maintain the same fire inspection service levels on construction projects and to assist the arson investigation team. The Parks and Recreation budget has been increased for maintenance of the new Piazza,Transit Center, and rest of the City's downtown core.This will provide funding for maintaining the new downtown park landscape and street improvements at a level of service consistent with other Renton facilities as well as servicing the new restroom at the Transit Center.

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.

CITY OF RENTON Finance&Information Services Department MEMORANDUM Date: 10/14/99 To: Council President, King Parker Bob Edwards, Finance Chair Toni Nelson Randy Corman Dan Clawson Kathy Keolker Wheeler Tim Schlitzer VIA: Mayor Tanner Jay Covington CC: Paul Kusakabe Derek Todd Linda Honeycutt From: Victoria A. Runkle 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. October 18, 1999 ;_, Renton City Council Minutes *ye Page 366 amending modification procedures.

Runkle 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.

Amount Budgeted $ Revenue Generated $20,000 SUMMARY OF ACTION: We are recommending increasing license fees for the ownership of cats and dogs. While this will seem like an increase,because we have a two year license instead of a one year fee,the cost is actually significantly lower over two years. • N 4$ CITY OF RENTON soLL Finance&Information Services Department MEMORANDUM Date: 10/14/99 To: Council President, King Parker Bob Edwards, Finance Chair Toni Nelson Randy Corman Dan Clawson Kathy Keolker Wheeler Tim Schlitzer VIA: Mayor Tanner Jay Covington CC: Paul Kusakabe Derek Todd Linda Honeycutt From: Victoria A. Runkle 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. CITY OF RENTON COUNCIL AGENDA BILL AI#: 7,h.

Runkle 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. • rn n'T c >• >• = is- _a. o o E c ✓ ID 0 < 0 0 W � 0 < < O O Z -C ~ Z Z 0) a) o M Z 00 •� o C C Co 7 CDo cU ca (I) N � (n \ a' Ct -0 ti co • — L a) C C co co�O ja O C 4 O O O O < < < < o CI O O > d Y ix it) M 0 � � Z Z Z Z O� ci ci) 10 ci • N U N O — Co a) Q_ _ O > N o 0 0 O U Q Q Q o E o 0 112 `n o Z z Z ti � � 0 d 'a• M o .a) .4' O m C1 L al M L 4* O o >, _>' O � o U �' C9 `m 0? 0 0 0 0 � C 0 O >,c � o o Q Q o Q o 0 0 - to to 0 Z Z o Z a) a) ti) U (7 V C') ti ch rn C o C ra U r) as cas * .a ++O LL N Ct et O (U O re .a O 'C C • CD $ 0 0 0 0 0 00 CD o 0 00 o 0 Q' N d O.

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. 2000 PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS Below are a few program highlights that each utility has planned for 2000.

Runkle 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. October 11, 1999 W Renton City Council Minutes '"""'' Page 354 Councilmembers agreed that it was not necessary to refer this ordinance to the Finance Committee for review and a recommendation. Mayor Tanner noted that he will recommend the City increase solid waste rates by 2%next year,which is a pass-through charge made necessary by higher tipping fees.

MOVED BY EDWARDS, SECONDED BY SCHLITZER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. Planning & Development Planning&Development Committee Chair Keolker-Wheeler presented a report Committee regarding construction noise regulations. A citizen inquiry was received by the Development Services: City Council and referred to the Planning&Development Committee on Permitted Hours for September 20, 1999. The inquiry requested reconsideration of permitted hours 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.

CITY OF RENTON Finance&Information Services Department MEMORANDUM Date: September 12, 1999 To: Council President, King Parker Bob Edwards, Finance Chair Toni Nelson Randy Corman Dan Clawson Kathy Keolker Wheeler Tim Schlitzer VIA: Mayor Tanner 401 Jay Covington CC: Paul Kusakabe Derek Todd Linda Honeycutt 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. 2 EL °) rn 0 co O CO (O f,- N N O M ,- o O r- .) r- O U) V U) O CO O .- O -O (O O co ti O V' O (O U) co 6) O ' CCI o O co- (° N c- U) O U) c- 16 0 CO CO (0 EL N- Co V' N U) I- N CO ill r-- I` La1` ° 0) tri co tri Ui ui 2 co cm o I v_ co v N O CO tI) CO N- N N "4' N U) V. ...9 O (0 I- O U) .;r to O CO I� O f� • O) O N N O CO V' N- .— O V' O co m co CO O 0) V' CO (O (0 N .-- Lo O (O N to- O) o co co 0 coc- co N CO .

PRESS Robert Teodosio,Renton Reporter 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.

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 Finance: Vouchers recommending approval of Payroll Vouchers 21842 -22083 and 511 direct deposits in the total amount of$939,223.09. MOVED BY KEOLKER- WHEELER, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. ORDINANCES AND The following resolution was presented for reading and adoption: RESOLUTIONS Resolution #3411 A resolution was read adopting the City of Renton Emergency Response Plan. Fire: Emergency Management MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY SCHLITZER, COUNCIL ADOPT Plan THE RESOLUTION AS READ. CARRIED. Council: Initiative 695 (MVET Councilman Schlitzer said he received and has reviewed three different packets Rollback and Voter Approval of information on Initiative 695 from the Association of Washington Cities, Required for Tax and Fee Renton city staff, and assorted media articles. He feared that if I-695 passes, it 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. *MOTION CARRIED TO GO ON RECORD AS OPPOSING INITIATIVE 695.

New RENTON CITY COUNCIL Regular Meeting August 23, 1999 Council Chambers Monday, 7:30 p.m. MINUTES Municipal Building CALL TO ORDER Mayor Jesse Tanner led the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag and called the meeting of the Renton City Council to order. ROLL CALL OF KING PARKER, Council President; TIMOTHY SCHLITZER;RANDY COUNCILMEMBERS CORMAN; TOM NELSON; KATHY KEOLKER-WHEELER; DAN CLAWSON. MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY CORMAN,COUNCIL EXCUSE ABSENT COUNCILMAN BOB EDWARDS. CARRIED. CITY STAFF IN JESSE TANNER,Mayor; JAY COVINGTON, Chief Administrative Officer; ATTENDANCE LAWRENCE J. WARREN, City Attorney; MARILYN PETERSEN,City Clerk; VICTORIA RUNKLE,Finance&Information Services Administrator; SUSAN CARLSON, Economic Development,Neighborhoods& Strategic Planning Administrator; JIM SHEPHERD, Community Services Administrator; SANDRA MEYER,Transportation Systems Director; PAUL KUSAKABE, Fiscal Services Director; BARBARA KRAUS,Neighborhood Specialist; DON ERICKSON, Senior Planner; ABDOUL GAFOUR, Water Utility Supervisor; DEPUTY CHIEF JOE PEACH,Police Depar tment. 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 • August 23, 1999 Renton City Council Minutes Page 296 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.)
