PUBLIC HEARING a) Bill Annexation (A‐18‐002): This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Law opened the public hearing to consider the 60% Notice of Intent to Commence Annexation Proceedings for the proposed Bill Annexation. Long Range Planning Manager Angie Mathias reported that the proposed Bill Annexation site is located at the eastern portion of City limits in the East Plateau Community Planning Area, and bordered to the north by a parcel line near SE 3rd St., at 154th Ave SE to the east, parcel lines at SE 139th Place to the south (if extended), and 152nd Ave SE to the west. She noted that the area has no regulated slopes or wetlands and streams in the immediate vicinity of the site. Ms. Mathias reported that if the site were to be annexed the fire authority, utilities, and school district would remain unchanged. Reviewing the site’s zoning, Ms. Mathias stated that the area is designated in King County’s Comprehensive Plan as Urban Residential Low with R‐4 zoning. She reported that the City has designated the site as Residential Low Density which provides the City with the option to zone it as Resource Conservation (RC) allowing one dwelling unit per 10 acres, R‐1 allowing one dwelling unit per acre, or R‐4 allowing four dwelling units per acre. She specified that this site was pre‐zoned in 2007 with R‐4 zoning. Ms. Mathias reported that currently there are three dwellings on the site with an estimated eight residents. It is estimated there could be a total of twenty additional dwelling units with an estimated additional fifty‐six residents, based on the current zoning standards. If annexed, a conservative estimate of the fiscal impacts are that there would be a 3.5% annual cost increase and a 2.5% annual revenue increase. Concluding, Ms. Mathias stated that the proposed annexation is generally consistent with City annexation policies and Boundary Review board objectives, and the City’s best interests and general welfare would be served by this annexation. Public comment was invited:  Tom Carpenter, Renton, expressed concerns regarding traffic, neighborhood character, and tree retention in the general vicinity of the proposed annexation area. He asked Council to work with King County to address these and related issues in and around this area. AGENDA ITEM #5. a) June 3, 2019 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES Councilmember Corman requested a briefing in the Transportation (Aviation) Committee to discuss the transportation impacts at the intersection of 154th Pl SE and 154th Ave SE (near SE 142nd Pl).

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Chief Administrative Officer Robert Harrison reviewed a written administrative report summarizing the City’s recent progress towards goals and work programs adopted as part of its business plan for 2019 and beyond. Items noted were:  Spring Recycle Event Results: The Solid Waste Utility held its Spring Recycle Event Saturday, May 11. Several team members from the Public Works and Police departments staffed the event, along with members from Republic Services and eight volunteers. The event served approximately 627 residents, and collected over 85 tons of recyclable materials and 605 gallons of household hazardous waste. Residents donated enough food to fill a 96‐gallon cart for the Renton Food Bank.  Please join us tomorrow, Tuesday, June 4, at the Piazza Park in downtown Renton as Mayor Law officially rings the opening bell at 3 p.m. to kick off the 18th season of the Renton Farmers Market. The market will be filled with fresh flowers and a bounty of farm fresh produce this and every Tuesday from 3 p.m. until 7 p.m., June 4 through September 24 in the beautiful Piazza Park, located in Downtown Renton at the corner of South 3rd Street and Burnett Avenue South. In addition to market fare, shoppers will enjoy live music, tips from Master Gardeners, cooking demonstrations, and children’s activities. New this season, Logan Avenue South will be closed between Piazza Park and Gateway Park, making it that much easier to cross the street to get to our food trucks, children’s activities, special events, and live music from buskers at Market West! And we are proud to continue our Fresh Bucks incentive program, which offers unlimited dollar‐for‐dollar match to be used on fresh produce for our SNAP shoppers. AUDIENCE COMMENTS  Jason Collins, Renton, spoke about funding shelters and vocational retraining as ways to help people like himself get out of the cycle of homelessness and jail recidivism.  Mario Terrell, Renton, remarked that he had signed up to speak but had changed his mind and will speak at a future Council meeting.  Cal Kiminki, Renton, expressed frustration about the overall level of loud noises occurring after 9:00 p.m. in the Talbot Hill area of the City.

The goal of the code change was to ensure that monopoles and other personal wireless communication facilities in the right-of-way were not exempt from obtaining necessary permits. It was subsequently determined that the exemption did not preclude the wireless communication equipment from getting the needed City permits; however, the code change had the unintended consequence of requiring building permits for all private wireless communication facilities in the right-of-way, not only monopoles. There are other mechanisms in place that provide for the required oversight. Code language that existed immediately prior to the adoption of Ordinance 5099 should be reinstated and Ordinance 5099 should be repealed. EXHIBITS: A. Ordinance STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Refer to the Planning & Development Committee for review. Following this review, a corre ctive ordinance will be presented for first reading.

This position is currently budgeted at Pay Grade a29, Step C. Funds to cover the cost of the salary increase are available through salary savings in 2019 and also through specific capital projects. SUMMARY OF ACTION: Included in the 2019-2020 biennial budget adopted by Council November 5, 2018, is an increase to the staffing of the Public Works Department’s Transportation Systems Division Design Section by adding a 1.0 FTE Civil Engineer III position. Recruitment for this position began in April and interviews took place on May 16-17. A total of four applications were received. All four applicants were invited to interview, however one of the applicants withdrew prior to the interviews. Following the interviews two of the applicants were found not to be qualified due to appropriate levels of education, experience and licensing. The applicant who was selected to fill the position exceeds the minimum requirements as far as education, experience and holds a valid professional engineers license. This applicant accepted the position, but desires to be hired at Pay Grade a29, Step E, rather than the default Step C. The Public Works Department supports hiring this individual at the higher step. This individual has over seven years of experience working with one of our consultants KPG, Inc. and has participated on consultant design teams which have worked on Renton projects. Bringing this experience and knowledge of city projects in-house versus hiring an individual without such familiarity results in a reduction of the learning curve and creates an opportunity to immediately assign projects to this individual. In addition, this individual is a Renton resident and brings a level of local passion to this position. EXHIBITS: A. Job Description STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Authorize hiring a Transportation Systems Division Design Section Civil Engineer III at Pay Grade a29, Step E. This position was approved as part of the 2019-2020 biennial budget and is currently budgeted at Pay Grade a29, Step C. Funds to cover the cost of the salary increase are available through salary savings in 2019 and also through specific capital projects.
