Please give full, honest, thoughtful and respectfuil consideration to our concerns. We certainly believe that the whole process of a so called "West Hill task force" was/is flawed. In all good conscience how can you rush to judgement in even considering this possible addition to your 'PAA' when you know in your heart the "task force" was nothing more than a group of covertly selected prople who "elected"themselves to the "force" and proceeded, without any sizeable portion of REAL public vote,knowledge, input or the like, to come to a predesigned conclusion. To say nothing of the fact that Mr. Sims and his administration funded certain aspects of the process and obviously "steered" it's very purpose and findings, again all the while the vast majority of citizens on the West Hill "blind" to the fact. We know the task force will assure you the public is fully involved,REAL WORLD fact is they are not. As you no doubt realize or hopefully have heard MANY homeowners, citizens, tenants and the like in the area do feel this whole issue from the get/go is being FORCED upon them, as suggested with no real input or voice.In these times of citizens questioning the sincerity of government and such processes we implore you to START the process with asking your "heart" if this has been a real democratic process even thus far ? We also sincerely ask that many issues of day to day FINANCIAL substance to the people you represent presently in Renton and certainly also to those long standing folks (thousands of them)on the "West Hill" be given PRIORITY analysis and thoughtful examination so as not to create a burden your city budget can't really handle. Worse yet,a financial burden on the majority of seniors, lower-moderate income individuals, single mothers,first time tight budget home buyers and the like that really make up the MAJORITY on "West Hill. Taking action(s) that really under it all only benefit well heeled developers, those in high income brackets, the political fortunes of Mr. Sims and the like is and will be an ill advised injustice. No matter how much fancy seantics your "business development guy" puts to this topic or how hard Ms. Royer trys to "earn her keep" by lining up "ringers" to convince you of the merits of it all hopefully you accept a higher calling,especially in relation to the basic financial issues that will impact the MAJORITY of citizens your decision will impact upon with tax issues, utlity rate issues, near term levy issues, sewer cost additions, infrastructure costs and the like. It would be very sad if this marginally valid proposal displaced one homeowner, single mom, or senior becuase of it's REAL future impact. We would suggest you are overlooking your sworn duty if you simply "rubber stamp" this highly contested concept. One could go on and on the real day to day issue, life issues this proposal impacts on are many. Certainly they do not simply become better by some quickly offered thin justification by those who's job it is (obviously) to "SELL" this to your public.Issues such as a library system (a central library in the heart of the area) that has held it's own for many, many years without an "annexation savior ", a fire protection district that has served the area very well (which if TRUTH really prevails)has no assurance of continuing as it is under the concept being "floated", • the very notion of private property/home ownership which is at the heart of our democracy could be vastly altered when the "zoning changes can of worms" gets opened, the unspoken burden of infrasture updates (sidewalks, street lights, road repair, signing, engineering)which certainly don't come for free to citizens or your city.A vast body of additional OBJECTIVE research and honesty needs to go into these issues and many more BEFORE even addition onto a 'PAA' should take place we would submit certainly before the "annex savior" arrives to make it "all better"! Remember,,even the hired mouthpiece fpaid for optimism (Berk&Assocites)project a$2.4 millin flow o ED`NK to even begin getting this,we believe, really unwanted idea off the ground. May we please ask you put your objective heart, soul and honest status as a democratically elected representative and all that means to citizens in America to this task BEFORE a "bill of goods" is sold. The objections are REAL, SUBSTANTIAL AND PLENTIFUL ! DO THE RIGHT THING for the huge citizen base most seriously impacteclease. Bestards, S.

He noted that staff recommends the use of King County's 2005 Surface Water Design Manual at the time of development. The site contains 19 single-family homes, 152 multi-family units,and at least one vacant parcel. Reviewing the public services,Mr. Erickson indicated that the site is within Fire District#40, Soos Creek Water and Sewer District,and the Renton School District. Mr. Erickson stated that the site is currently zoned R-8 (eight dwelling units per gross acre),R-12, and R-18 in King County. The Renton Comprehensive Plan designates the area as Residential Single Family and Residential Medium Density, for which R-8 (eight dwelling units per net acre)and R-10 zoning is proposed. The fiscal impact analysis indicates a deficit of$52,349 at full development due to the area already being significantly developed,and an estimated one-time parks acquisition and development cost of$138,108. In conclusion,Mr. Erickson reported that the annexation proposal is generally consistent with City policies and relevant Boundary Review Board objectives. He pointed out that surface water costs are estimated at$3,258 per year,and the City will be responsible for the cost of a traffic signal and other improvements at the intersection of 108th Ave. SE and SE 168th St. Responding to Council President Briere's inquiry regarding the deficit and including more developable land in the annexation area, Mr. Erickson noted that it may be possible to invoke jurisdiction of the Boundary Review Board to expand the boundaries of the site to the north, as the parcels in that area appear to be underdeveloped. Public comment was invited. Terri Arnold, 14700 SE Petrovitsky Rd.,Renton, 98058, spoke on behalf of Bruce Hudson, a signer of the petition. She relayed that Mr. Hudson wishes to annex to Renton for the following reasons: timely fire and police service, lower taxes, higher property values,efficient building permit process, and his already deep involvement in the Renton community. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY NELSON,COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC MEETING. CARRIED. MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL ACCEPT THE HUDSON 10% ANNEXATION PETITION,AND AUTHORJ7.F CIRCULATION OF THE 60% DIRECT PETITION TO ANNEX SUBJECT TO PROPERTY OWNERS SUPPORTING ZONING CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND ASSUMING A PROPORTIONAL SHARE OF THE CITY'S BONDED INDEBTEDNESS. CARRIED. PUBLIC HEARINGS This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Comprehensive Plan: 2005 accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the Amendments, Inclusion of public hearing to consider an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan land use West Hill in PAA map to include the approximately 1,930-acre West Hill in Renton's Potential Annexation Area (PAA). PRebecca Lind,Planner Manager, reported that Renton's original Comprehensive Plan,adopted in 1993, included West Hill in the Renton PAA. The West Hill area was removed from the PAA in 1998 due to uncertainty about the fiscal November 14,2005 , Renton City Council Minutes Page 392 implications of a possible annexation. As a result of the King County Annexation Initiative,King County established the West Hill Governance Alternatives Task Force to provide citizen input and community dialogue about ti"^ annexation. She indicated that the task force has asked Renton to consider adding West Hill to its PAA. Ms. Lind stated that King County contracted with Berk and Associates for an analysis of governance options for the West Hill (West Hill Governance Alternatives Assessment). The City subsequently contracted with the same consultants to analyze the impacts of a possible annexation of West Hill (Assessment of the Fiscal Impact of Annexation of West Hill). She pointed out that the information from these reports provides the basis to reconsider the 1998 decision about the PAA boundary. Continuing, Ms. Lind explained that being in Renton's PAA means the City agrees to provide services in the future,and that annexation requests from residents/property owners must be made to Renton and not to another city. Ms. Lind emphasized that adding the area to the PAA is a City decision. Annexation is a property owner and voter decision,and can be conducted via two methods: 60%direct petition or election. She noted that the services and governance of West Hill would remain in King County with the PAA change. In regards to the timing of the proposal,Ms. Lind said the City reviews its Comprehensive Plan once a year per State law, with the only exception being an emergency. If Renton does not act this year, the decision will be delayed for one year. She pointed out that the data from the studies is current to 2005, and no more new data or information will be brought forth over the course of the coming year. Ms.Lind reviewed the fiscal impact study, highlighting the different annexation scenarios of the three areas within West Hill, as well as the long-range fiscal impacts. She stated that staff recommends including the entire West Hill area within Renton's PAA based on information from the studies, which indicate that incorporation of the area is not cost effective, future annexation of a portion of the area is not cost effective, and residents from the entire area identify with Renton. Continuing, Ms. Lind reported that the City made a comparison of the existing King County land use designations to current Renton designations and potential zoning to ensure that the proposed Renton Comprehensive Plan designations are compatible with land use plans currently used for King County governance. She noted that Renton zoning would be determined at the time of annexation. In conclusion,Ms.Lind stated that the addition of West Hill in Renton's PAA can be accommodated within existing land use categories,that designating the area as part of the PAA will allow future discussion of annexation to occur, and that negotiation over future annexation will require additional analysis of funding and level of service requirements. Ms. Lind reported that the Planning Commission received correspondence stating positions on this matter as follows: Oppose: Christopher Sandford, 7535 S. Sunnycrest Rd., Seattle,98178, and Maxine Woodcock,7829 S. 112th St., Seattle, 98178; Support: James Fick, 10644 Rainier Ave. S., Seattle, 98178, and Brian J. Skaggs, 10932 Rainier Ave. S., Seattle,98178. Entered into the record was correspondence from Philip Martin, 12022 Renton Ave. S., Seattle, 98178 (oppose), and Dorothy L. Streuli, 7235 S. 127th St., November 14,2005 ,, Renton City Council Minutes ;ry Page 393 Seattle, 98178 (support); and a telephone call expressing opposition from Donna Hoffman, 12023 67th Ave. S., Seattle, 98178. Additionally correspondence was read from King County Executive Ron Sims, 701 5th Ave., Suite 3210, Seattle, 98104, expressing support for the proposal. Public comment was invited. The following people spoke in opposition to including West Hill in Renton's PAA: Lorraine A. Knight, 7242 S. 126th St., Seattle, 98178; Steve Brozowski, 8228 S. 134th St., Seattle,98178; Steve Gray, 8414 S. 115th Pl., Seattle, 98178; Ken Noll,7731 S. Sunnycrest Rd., Seattle, 98178; Stanley Nanevicz, 8418 S. 134th St., Seattle, 98178; Gurine Nordby,6234 S. 119th St., Seattle,98178; James Moe, 8005 S. 117th St., Seattle, 98178;Elaine Chandler, 8207 S. 132nd St., Seattle,98178; and Michael Coyote, 10608 Rainier Ave. S., Seattle, 98178. Comments from opponents included: there is a preference for leaving the area the way it is(in unincorporated King County); annexation to Renton does not have widespread public support; West Hill task force members are not democratically elected and their recommendation is being forced upon area residents; there will be a revenue loss to Renton if the area is annexed,resulting in increased taxes and utilities; there will be a decrease in property and house values due to having a Renton rather than Seattle address; the number of residents surveyed by the consultants only amounted to approximately 3% of the area's population; there is a need for more review of the matter; there is concern regarding the length of time a signature is on an annexation petition; Seattle and Tukwila are shopping destinations, not Renton; there are concerns regarding provision of fire and police service; there are concerns regarding the reduction of library services; there is a lack of knowledge about the task force; inclusion in Renton's PAA precludes West Hill residents from annexing to another city; and West Hill identifies more with Seattle. The following people spoke in support of the proposal: Suzann Lombard, 10637 Rainier Ave. S., Seattle,98178;David Paul Zimmerman, 7003 S. 132nd St., Seattle, 98178;James Routos, owner of a Skyway-area business, 11829 Renton Ave. S.,Seattle, 98178; Wally Adams, 10729 Crestwood Dr. S., Seattle, 98178; Senator Margarita Prentice(11th District),6245 S.Langston Rd.

Comments from proponents included: a proposed pocket park at 10602 Rainier Ave. S. may benefit from Renton's Neighborhood Program and be a positive addition to Renton;there is support for the process but more information is needed for a decision on annexation; the area already identifies with Renton; businesses in Skyway will be better served by Renton and better able to develop a vibrant economy thereby increasing City revenue; Renton is the logical city to annex to; there are concerns regarding infrastructure improvement costs and November 14,2005 , Renton City Council Minutes _ Page 394 utility providers; the entire area should be annexed together; continued discussions on the matter are encouraged; there are more taxes in Seattle; Sound Transit projects will have a positive impact on land values; there is a desire for the revitalization of the Skyway business district; police and fire service will remain the same or improve; there is a need to think about the future; a survey conducted in 2000 found Renton was the preferred City if the area had to be annexed; Renton's leadership is important in the handling of its PAA;West Hill is within the Renton School District; the library is important to West Hill residents; things are not going to stay the same;police response times in King County are poor; the area should remain in the King County Library System; sewer projects are currently taking place in West Hill; the Skyway Water and Sewer District is on record in favor of annexation to Renton; and there is a need for the involvement of the community in future annexation discussions. Additional comments on the proposal were made by: Doug Silva, 8050 S. 114th St., Seattle, 98178;Jeff Dixon, 6804 S. Langston Rd., Seattle, 98178; and Linda Stewart, 8425 S. 113th St., Seattle, 98178. They remarked on the need for more information to determine the best city to annex to-Seattle or Renton; the top-driven decision making rather than people-driven; the Growth Management Act directive that PAAs be determined by a consultation process with the cities surrounding the areas, the county,and the affected residents; concern that the proposal is being rushed; the need for additional time before a decision is made; and concern regarding the potential change of status of the employees at the Skyway Post Office. MOVED BY PERSSON, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL RECESS FOR FIVE MINUTES. CARRIED. A break was taken at 8:58 p.m. The meeting reconvened at 9:05 p.m.;roll was called; all Councilmembers were present except Law,previously excused. Council and staff made the following comments and clarifications in response to the speakers'questions and concerns: —An annexation petition is not pending at this time; however, if annexation is pursued it will most likely be carried out via the election method rather than the petition method. —Petition signatures are only valid for 180 days. —The City would work with the area's fire district regarding fire service provision, and with King County regarding provision of library services. —Property values may be affected more by physical location of dwelling, rather than by the address. —The task force study found that Seattle would close the Bryn Mawr fire station, as well as the Skyway library. —Renton's fire department will be able to serve West Hill with equal or better service without the Bryn Mawr fire station, and will continue to operate the Skyway fire station and use the training facility. —The City has coordinated with the cities of Seattle and Tukwila with regard to the West Hill area. —In regards to the timing of the proposal,Renton is responding to a Comprehensive Plan Amendment request by the governance task force, which is one in a package of proposed amendments. The subject amendment can be removed and considered during next year's Comprehensive Plan cycle. November 14,2005 Nom" Renton City Council Minutes Page 395 There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY PERSSON, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. Mayor Keolker-Wheeler noted that Committee of the Whole will discuss this matter next Monday at 5:00 p.m. The public is invited to attend; however, comment will not be accepted. Planning: Highlands Sub-Area This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Plan Study Area Moratorium accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the public hearing to consider a six-month extension of the moratorium on new development in the R-10(Residential-ten dwelling units per acre)and RM-F (Residential Multi-Family)zones in the Highlands Sub-Area Plan study area generally located between Aberdeen Ave. NE and Monroe Ave. NE,and between NE 23rd St. and NE 5th Pl. Rebecca Lind,Planner Manager, stated that a modification is proposed to properties affected by the original moratorium. She explained that during the last six months, several property owners in the R-10-zoned area on Monroe Ave. NE presented new information regarding the existence of covenants restricting the use of these properties. As a result, staff recommends that the R- 10 area located on Monroe Ave. NE, which is subject to the covenants, be excluded from the extended moratorium. Ms. Lind reported that exclusion is also requested of a R-10-zoned area that is part of a condominium development in the northern portion of the study area. In addition, she indicated that continuance of the exemption from the moratorium is still recommended for Renton School District properties,R-8- zoned single-family neighborhoods,and commercially zoned areas that encourage mixed-use residential and commercial development at higher densities. Continuing,Ms. Lind explained that the moratorium extension will allow time for staff to continue work on the sub-area plan, and to complete the analysis of various land development and zoning options. She noted that an open house will be held on November 15th, where information will be presented regarding existing housing stock and conditions, ownership characteristics,existing infrastructure, and conceptual land use alternatives. Public comment was invited. Keith Thompson, 660 Index Pl. NE,Renton,98056, reported that he owns three properties in the area, including his residence,and favors increased density in the Highlands. Mr. Thompson expressed concern about the moratorium extension, saying that he is reluctant to make the financial investment to improve his properties, if in a short period of time he will be tearing his buildings down. He stated his plan to retire next year, and noted the financial interest he has in his properties, and his concern as to how he is going to plan for and invest in the development of his properties during this process. Heidi Beckley, 806 Index Ct.,NE, Renton,98056, expressed her support for the moratorium, noting that planning ultimately leads to more livability. Glenda Johnson, 1216 Monroe Ave. NE.,Renton,98056, stated her agreement with the removal of the properties affected by the restrictive covenants from the moratorium area. C j��Y O� elP- 11.1rRivrco . WEST HILL POTENTIAL ANNEXATION AREA PUBLIC HEARING NOVEMBER 14, 2005 The proposal is to amend the Comprehensive Plan land use map to include an area, approximately 1,930 acres in size as part of Renton's Potential Annexation Area(PAA). This area, known as "West Hill" (Exhibit `A'), is located west of the City of Renton in unincorporated King County. Inclusion of an area in a Potential Annexation Area is not an annexation proposal. A city is required to identify areas that it is willing to annex at some point in the future as part of the State of Washington Growth Management Act. This law is implemented through the Countywide Planning Policies, a regionally enacted set of planning goals, ratified by the county and the cities. Inclusion of a community in a city's PAA is a policy statement from the city that it is willing to provide government services to the area at some future point. Actual annexation must be initiated either by property owners or registered voters of an area. In the case of a large developed area, such as the West Hill, the election method of annexation is likely to be used by residents in the future. This method requires a simple majority of the registered voters of the area for approval. PAA designation, however, is the responsibility of cities. The issue before the Renton City Council, at this point, is not annexation, but rather whether the City is willing to provide services and accept future annexation petitions from residents of the West Hill. If an area is included within a PAA, the government continues to be King County and services are still provided by the County. As part of ongoing budget discussions, the County is informing residents that the levels of service it can provide will be reduced in the future. However, the government providing the services does not change. The designation of"PAA"is an agreement on a map and in a set of planning documents. It means that if and when residents or property owners of an area want to pursue annexation to a city, they must make their annexation petition to Renton, rather than to Seattle or any other city. Designation of a PAA by a City also requires adoption of City Comprehensive Plan Land Use designations for the area. A City is required to plan for areas within its PAA so that property owners will be informed of the land use they might have upon annexation. In addition, in making a commitment to future service, a city can base its analysis of potential service needs on a set of planning assumptions about a community. The City of Renton's initial GMA Comprehensive Plan, adopted in 1993, included the West Hill within the Renton Potential Annexation Area. The Comprehensive Plan Environmental Analysis prepared for the 1993 Plan also included the West Hill. In 1998, Renton City Council adopted a Comprehensive Plan Amendment removing the West Hill from the PAA due to uncertainty about the fiscal implications of a possible future annexation. At the time, the City had preliminary cost of service data about the East Renton and Fairwood/Cascade PAAs, but did not have sufficient information about the West Hill to continue the policy of planning for future urban services to the area. In June 2005, however, as a result of the King County Annexation Initiative, King County established the West Hill Governance Alternatives Task Force to provide citizen input and community dialogue about annexation through the King County Community Council structure. The Task Force issued the West Hill Governance Report. This study looked at the pros and cons of the following alternatives for West Hill: • Remain an incorporated area in King County, • Incorporate as a new city; • Annex to Seattle, or • Annex to Renton The City of Tukwila has indicated an unwillingness to annex the area, so this alternative was not included in the study. The City of Renton subsequently contracted with the same consultants to analyze the impacts on the City of Renton of a possible annexation of West Hill. The "Assessment of the Fiscal Impact of Annexation of West Hill,"September 2005, studied the impacts of annexation of areas or combination of areas. With more information now known, it is appropriate to reconsider the earlier removal and potentially reinstate the West Hill area into Renton's PAA. The West Hill Fiscal Impact study found that if the City of Renton were governing the West Hill in 2005, and maintained current levels of taxes and services, the gap between additional costs and revenues would be$2.4 million dollars. The study evaluated both complete and partial annexation looking at three areas within the proposed PAA. Renton made a comparison of the existing King County Land Use designations with current City designations and potential Renton zoning to ensure that the proposed Renton Comprehensive Plan designations are compatible with land use plans currently used for governance in King County. Renton zoning would not be applicable unless annexation takes place. The Renton land use designations and implementing zoning uses net density calculations rather than gross density. As a general rule, Renton net density numbers are 20 percent higher than their gross density counterparts. The proposed Renton designations compared with King County designations are summarized below. • Residential Single Family with R-8 zoning corresponding to County Urban Residential 4-12 with R-6 zoning • Residential Medium Density with either R-10 (7-10 du/net ac) or R-14 (7-18 du/net ac)zoning corresponding to County Urban Residential 4-12 with R-8 and R-12 zoning • Residential Multi-family with RM-F zoning(7-20 du/net ac)corresponding to County Urban residential greater than 12 du/ac with R-18 zoning • Center Village with CV zoning (25-75 du/net ac) corresponding to portions of County Urban Residential greater than 12 du/ac with R-24 and R-48 zoning. • Commercial Neighborhood corresponding to County Neighborhood Business • Commercial Corridor corresponding to County Community Business • Industrial Medium corresponding to County Industrial. The proposed land use plan achieves the same overall land use capacity and range of uses for the West Hill as currently allowed under County comprehensive planning and zoning. The major difference between the land use plans with respect to uses is that the County approach allows both single family and multi-family/townhouse development in all residential areas, whereas the City's approach excludes multi-family/townhouse development in the Single Family designation, and excludes single family detached uses in the multi-family and mixed use commercial designations. While unit type and style differ, the overall number of units allowed is comparable. It is the intention of the City to subsequently prepare more detailed land use analysis and possibly a West Hill sub-area plan with community involvement upon future annexation Copies of the reports prepared for King County and Renton about the West Hill by the consulting firm, Berk and Associates, are available at the Skyway and Renton libraries and at www.ci.renton.wa.us/ednsp/pcinfo.htm EXHIBIT A 2 v,v 'in; •-•.: k .1010"`",-..

Alas, I shall be out of the country for the immediate future, and thus unable to attend either the forthcoming workshop or, indeed, the public hearing. However, I should like to make the views of at least one property owner crystal clear. Please incorporate my comments into the appropriate channel that takes note of such things. Under no circumstances will it be possible for my residence to be incorporated into the City of Renton, at least for as long as I continue to own it. My emigration to this country from the United Kingdom, and-more to the point-the nature of my business dealings with a number of entities both in the UK and elsewhere in Europe are specifically contingent on my having a Seattle address. Were my property to be incorporated into another town, I would face an immediate and tangible disruption to my livelihood, compensation for which-while making, I stress, not the slightest threat-I would be forced to pursue as vigorously as the law allows. There is, of course, nothing personal against the City of Renton in any of this; merely the unalterable facts of my business. Please, therefore, register my views very firmly in the 'No'column when the matter comes to be discussed.

I wanted to provide my feedback that I completely and strongly support this move, and would also strongly support eventual actual annexation by the City of Renton. I would love to be in the City of Renton vs. staying unincorporated. Also, I would not like to be part of Seattle and am happy Renton is interested in potentially annexing our area.

Grady Way Renton, WA 98055-3232 RE: Proposed Action to Designate West Hill/Skyway as a Potential Annexation Area Dear Mayor Keolker-Wheeler and Councilmembers Briere, Corman, Nelson, Persson, Clawson, Law and Palmer: 1 am writing to express my strong support for the proposal that Renton again designate the West Hill/Skyway Area as a Potential Annexation Area (PAA). I recognize this is a major commitment for the city. I reaffirm to you my willingness to offer financial support to Renton from the county's annexation incentive fund for annexation of this area, as well as support in efforts to secure new financial authority from the Washington State Legislature for annexation. My support for this area becoming part of Renton's PAA is based on the express preferences of the West Hill Governance Alternatives Task Force. It is important that we provide positive support for this grass-roots effort which, after months of study and outreach, has identified a clearly preferred future for the West Hill/Skyway community, namely, becoming part of the City of Renton. The task force has stated its objection to having the West Hill Skyway community split between Seattle and Renton. I am prepared to support the community and Renton in an effort to see this entire area annex to Renton, understanding that actual annexation of the area will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the residents. King County is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer a •2,2.2M and complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act The Honorable Denis La... - November 10, 2005 Page 2 Should the council designate the area as PAA as an amendment to the Renton Comprehensive Plan, the action provides a solid basis for the city, King County, and the residents to begin more in-depth conversations regarding how to address remaining community questions and service transition issues thoughtfully and collaboratively. Next year, we will support an amendment to the Countywide Planning Policies to identify this area as within your PAA. Your potential action represents an important step in the process of annexation, but there are many more ahead for the city, the community, and King County. Renton's leadership on annexation issues is greatly appreciated. I look forward to continuing to work in partnership with you on these efforts to secure a stronger future for all communities in King County. oillkely, ,A , , . ims King County Executive 4-, 'a \ 0 En U O.

Uhrich and I live at 8420 South 115`" Street, Seattle,Washington. This is in the Bryn Mawr neighborhood, which is a part of West Hill. I have lived at this address since early 1990, and during this time have spent many hours in restaurants, theaters, grocery stores, parks, hardware stores, and the like in downtown Renton. For me, it is the city with which I feel the most affiliation, and I wish to voice my support for the proposal to include West Hill in Renton's Potential Annexation Area. ,4cDC In the last few years, I was part of the initial group of citizens who volunteered to work with King County and their contractor to study the various ways West Hill could evolve, including staying as part of unincorporated King County, annexing to either Seattle, Tukwila, or Renton, or becoming incorporated as a new city. I imagine your record may already reflect this,but I wish to state that,as part of our efforts, we sent questionnaires to a representative sample of citizens in West Hill and at least two of the questions revolved around what their preference would be for annexation. If they preferred not to annex at all,but to remain part of King County(which many did), we then asked a backup question—if they had to annex to comply with the State's Growth Management Act, then did they have a preference? The majority of responders indicated that Renton would be their choice for annexation, if they had to make such a choice. I have not been involved recently in these efforts,but read with interest the Information Sheet which accompanied the Notice of Public Hearing,and I am looking forward to hearing more about the recent studies and proposals. I thank you for your time, and for your consideration of these remarks. 4,vet Zai4/\a/t. g1/1105" Ann R.

OWNERS: VARIOUS APPLICANT: CITY OF RENTON DESCRIPTION The proposal is to amend the Comprehensive Plan land use map to include land approximately 1,930 acres in size as part of Renton's Potential Annexation Area(PAA). This area, known as "West Hill" (Exhibit `A'), is located west of the City of Renton in unincorporated King County. ISSUE SUMMARY Inclusion within the PAA does not affect service delivery or fiscal impacts on either Renton or the potential annexation area, so issues to be considered at this time only relate to the expansion of the PAA. • The primary issue is whether all or a part of the West Hill, not currently within a municipal jurisdiction, should be within the City of Renton's PAA. An approximately 14 acre portion of the West Hill immediately east of Rainier Blvd., at Lake Washington and the Renton city limits, is already included within Renton's PAA. • Inclusion in a PAA requires adoption of City Comprehensive Plan Land Use designations for the area. A comparison of the existing King County Land Use designations with current City designations and potential Renton zoning has been analyzed to ensure that the proposed Renton Comprehensive Plan designations are compatible with current land use. Renton zoning would not be applicable unless annexation takes place. The intent is to provide a translation of the County land use map into the City designations with negligible change in either density or allowed range of uses. • Consistency with King County Countywide Planning Policies is also required. RECOMMENDATION SUMMARY The recommendation is to: • Add West Hill within the boundaries indicated on the map included as Exhibit 'A' to the City of Renton Potential Annexation Area and • Adopt Land Use Designations as part of the City of Renton Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map BACKGROUND Community Description The Potential Annexation Area under consideration consists of long-established residential neighborhoods that have close ties to Renton. The neighborhoods include Earlington, Bryn Mawr, Lake Ridge, and Skyway. Collectively these neighborhoods are known as "West H:\EDNSP\PAA\West Hill\West Hill Map Amendment Issue Paper 02.docLast printed 11/10/2005 11:33 AM Map Amendment 2005-M- West Hill *100 Issue Paper Page 2 of 8 Hill." West Hill is an unincorporated"island" within the jurisdiction oflKing County between Seattle, Tukwila, and Renton. This area is primarily residential, but includes business areas along Renton Avenue South. Current data about the West Hill was compiled in 2005, for the"West Hill Goernance Alternatives Assessment Summary Report"by Berk &Associates (Exhibit `B'v). In terms of demographics, West Hill and Renton are similar and compatible. West Hill is included in the Renton School District. Berk and Associates characterizes West Hill as being functionally a part of the City of Renton due to its proximity to the center of Renton more than to other jurisdictions. West Hill residents use Renton as their playground/entertainment and retail/business center. � �° °w Due to the fact that West Hill developed well after the City of Renton became established, Renton citizens used the resources of West Hill for both pleasure and commerce. View of West Hill from Renton Hill Photograph courtesy of the Museum of History and Industry The following neighborhood sketches illustrate the many ways the West Hill neighborhoods have been connected to Renton through the years. Earlington In the late 1860s, the Renton pioneer Clymer family farmed at the foot of ``" Earlington Hill. Mining for coal on the south side of the Hill, including the Clymer property, was attempted in the 1870s,but . w unlike the mines across the valley at Talbot and Renton Hills, ceased due to the poor quality of the material. ; 4 Farm on Earlington Hill Photograph courtesy of the Renton Historical Society Toward the turn of the century, Earlington Hill, which rose from the banks of the Black River and featured views of Mount Rainier and the fertile valley, attracted wealthy Seattleites who built vacation residences there. Map Amendment 2005-M- West Hill r..i Issue Paper Page 3 of 8 • Later, these large estates were platted for development. The palatial Clarence Bagley home became the Earlington ihtAA. Country Club. The Earlington golf -- `� "` course, on the flats below the Hill, was one of the first in the state. ,. ftr h. Bagley Mansion Photograph courtesy of the Renton Historical Society The Earlington area saw development before other West Hill neighborhoods due to its close proximity to Renton and also because the only land access between Seattle and Renton was through Earlington by road, railroad, and via the Black River to Elliott Bay. A portion of the Earlington neighborhood, from Langston Road south and from Beacon Coal Mine/Monster Road to the east, is within the current Renton corporate boundary. Bryn Mawr Bryn Mawr is located on the east side of the Hill, north of Earlington, and extends down to the edge of Lake Washington. Bryn Mawr, which means "brow of the hill" in Welsh, was probably home to coal miners working in Renton mines. The heavily treed hills provided wood for the lumber and shingle mills that ringed the south end .. , of Lake Washington north of early Renton. In 1907, Bryn Mawr was characterized as a "pleasant town of country houses." • Cabin in Bryn Mawr, ca. 1909 Photograph courtesy of the Museum of History and Industry Map Amendment 2005-M- 0West Hill Issue Paper Page 4 of 8 ti,114-574` , :,�� '' l The lake and woods were popular with , z„ i campers and hunters and excursion boats, like 77, • the"Bluebird" docked in Bryn Mawr and plied the waters of the lake. 77 - ' i 4.1 The Bluebird at Bryn Mawr Photograph courtesy of the Renton Historical Society Following subdivision, in about 1890, early Bryn Mawr home sites were large enough to accommodate vegetable gardens and farm animals. This is reflected in the large legal lots remaining(although many underlying parcels were platted at 30 feet wide). The westerly portion of Bryn Mawr was platted into five-acre tracts. Because of good drainage, fertile soil, and many artesian springs, several nurseries were located in Bryn Mawr throughout the twentieth century. One at the foot of West Hill abutted the Bryn Mawr airfield and with the airfield was incorporated into what was to become the Renton Municipal Airport. Lake Ridge Lake Ridge is also located on the east side of the Hill, between Bryn Mawr and Rainier Beach to the north. It was developed later than the other areas due to inaccessibility by land until a road was completed between Seattle and Renton in 1917. In the late 1920s Lake Ridge was designed with curving roads (so that all home sites had views of both lake and distant hills) and strict covenants (minimum house value of the extraordinary sum, for the time, of$2,500.) to ensure that development was of a high quality. Only a few homes were built, however, before the stock market crash and depression brought a temporary end to real estate investment and home building. Development of Lake Ridge did not resume to a significant degree until the 1940s. Unlike other West Hill neighborhoods, Lake Ridge has never had a commercial area and has largely relied on Renton as its business center. First Bryn Mawr and then Lake Ridge have been areas of choice for people who own businesses and work in Renton. Skyway Skyway was the last of the West Hill neighborhoods to see development of the early farms and ranches. In the early 1930s, a county road, Renton Avenue, was constructed as a"short cut" from Seattle and to reduce the volume of traffic on Rainier Avenue. The construction of houses in Skyway coincided with the manufacture of"Defense Worker"housing associated with war armament production at Boeing and Pacific Car and Foundry in Renton. Both sides of Renton Avenue were developed with small houses on small lots and a lively business district grew at the top of the Hill. Businesses were started by veterans returning to the area after the War, some businesses expanded from Renton, opening branches in Skyway, and some moved to Renton, as they grew too large for the Skyway market area. Many houses and Map Amendment 2005-M- N. West Hill Issue Paper Page 5 of 8 commercial buildings from this period remain today. The Skyway Library Board, sponsored by the Skyway Community Club, and the Skyway VFW were responsible for two of the most significant amenities in the neighborhood, the Skyway Library and Skyway Park respectively, although these were later taken over by King County. Governance and Fiscal Background The City of Renton's initial GMA Comprehensive Plan, adopted in 1993, included the West Hill within the Renton Potential Annexation area. The Comprehensive Plan Environmental Analysis prepared for the 1993 Plan also included the West Hill. In 1998, Renton City Council adopted a Comprehensive Plan Amendment removing the West Hill from the PAA due to uncertainty about the fiscal implications of a possible future annexation. At the time, the City had preliminary cost of service data about the East Renton and Fairwood/Cascade PAAs,but did not have sufficient information about the West Hill to continue the policy of planning for future urban services to the area. In June 2005, however, as a result of the King County Annexation Initiative, King County established the West Hill Governance Alternatives Task Force to provide citizen input and community dialogue about annexation through the King County Community Council structure. The Task Force issued the West Hill Governance Report (referenced above, Exhibit `B'). This study looked at the pros and cons of the following alternatives for West Hill: • Remain an incorporated area in King County, • Incorporate as a new city; • Annex to Seattle, or • Annex to Renton Although annexation to Tukwila would be possible, the City of Tukwila has indicated an unwillingness to annex the area, so this alternative was not included in the study. The City of Renton subsequently contracted with the same consultants to analyze the impacts on the City of Renton of a possible annexation of West Hill. The"Assessment of the Fiscal Impact of Annexation of West Hill," September 2005 (Exhibit 'C'), studied the impacts of annexation of areas or combination of areas. With more information now known, it is appropriate to reconsider the earlier removal and potentially reinstate the West Hill area into Renton's PAA. The West Hill Governance Alternative Task Force voted on September 28th to support annexation of the entire community to Renton. This position will be presented to the community October 18th, and it is anticipated that a formal request for annexation will follow. The West Hill Fiscal Impact study found that if the City of Renton were governing the West Hill in 2005, and maintained current levels of taxes and services, the gap between additional costs and revenues would be $2.4 million dollars. The study evaluated both complete and partial annexation looking at three areas within the proposed PAA. These areas include: • Area 1, contiguous to the existing city limit,population 4,388 with net revenue of $430,000, location of one fire station Map Amendment 2005-M-ttoWest Hill Issue Paper Page 6 of 8 • Area 2, also contiguous to the existing city limit, population 7,217, net revenue 2.3 million • Area 3, non-contiguous population 2,310, net revenue $251,000, location of a second fire station. The study concluded that annexation of all three areas would cost the city$2.4 million,but that annexation of Areas 1 and 3 alone might have a net cost of $3.1 million. If Renton were to annex only Areas 1 and 2,but not Area 3 the logistical difficulties of fire protection would be pronounced due to the location of existing fire stations. If Area 1 only were annexed, the existing fire station would likely be closed and service provided would be from existing Renton facilities. If Areas 1 and 3 (with greatest proximity to the exiting city limits) were annexed, the incremental cost of adding Area 2 was not substantial due to incremental cost in police staffing, and the overall fiscal benefit greater than would occur if Areas 2 were excluded. Land Use Background The King County Comprehensive Plan Map (Exhibit `D') indicates there are three types of land uses in the West Hill area. They are residential, commercial, and industrial. The primary land use designation on West Hill is Urban Residential, with both medium density(4 to 12 dwelling units/acre) and high density(greater than 12 du/ac). An area south of Martin Luther King, Jr. Way(MLK) is designated Industrial. Two existing commercial areas are designated as "Community Business." Three small commercial areas on Beacon Avenue, Rainier Ave, and MLK have the designation of"Commercial Outside of Centers." The Urban Residential areas are zoned by King County at densities of six, eight, twelve, eighteen, twenty-four, and forty-eight dwelling units per acre(Exhibit `D'). The commercial areas are zoned either Community Business or Neighborhood Business for the large or small areas, respectively. ANALYSIS The proposed Renton land use plan for the West Hill is shown in Exhibit `E'. This map was prepared based on consideration of equivalent land use both in respect to density and the range of allowed uses. The intent is to translate the County land use designations into the City equivalents with negligible change in either density or allowed range of uses. The West Hill had a 2000 population of 13,977 people and has 5,780 housing units of which 72 percent are single family. Homeownership was approximately 67 percent in 2000. Median household income was $47,385 in 2000, with 5,579 households. Based on Buildable Land data for 2002, the West Hill has an estimated future capacity of 1,913 units, assuming 167 developable acres. An estimate of employment capacity has not been generated by King County at this time. A summary of demographic, employment, housing, and income characteristics of the West Hill is included in an excerpt from the 2003 King County Growth Report, titled"West Hill Potential Annexation Area" and included herewith as Exhibit 'F'. The Renton land use designations and implementing zoning use net density calculations rather than gross density. As a general rule Renton net density numbers are 20 percent higher than Map Amendment West Hill �..r Issue Paper Page 7 of 8 their gross density counterparts. The proposed Renton designations compared with King County designations are summarized below, and presented in greater detail on Exhibit `G'. • Residential Single Family with R-8 zoning corresponding to County Urban Residential 4-12 with R-6 zoning • Residential Medium Density with either R-10 (7-10 du/net ac) or R-14 (7-18 du/net ac) zoning corresponding to County Urban Residential 4-12 with R-8 and R-12 zoning • Residential Multi-family with RM-F zoning(7-20 du/net ac) corresponding to County Urban residential greater than 12 du/ac with R-18 zoning • Center Village with CV zoning(25-75 du/net ac) corresponding to portions of County Urban Residential greater than 12 du/ac with R-24 and R-48 zoning. • Commercial Neighborhood corresponding to Neighborhood Business • Commercial Corridor corrersponding to County Community Business • Industrial Medium corresponding to County Industrial. The proposed land use plan achieves the same overall land use capacity and range of uses for the West Hill as currently allowed under County comprehensive planning and zoning. The major difference between the land use plans with respect to uses is that the County approach allows both single family and multi-family/townhouse development in all residential areas, whereas the City's approach excludes multi-family/townhouse development in the Single Family designation, and excludes single family detached uses in the multi-family and mixed use commercial designations. While unit type and style differ, the overall number of units allowed is comparable. It is the intention of the City to subsequently prepare more detailed land use analysis and possibly a West Hill sub-area plan with community involvement upon future annexation. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COMPLIANCE The following Renton Comprehensive Plan objectives and policies are the most relevant: Objective LU-A: Plan for future urban development in the Renton Urban Growth Area (UGA) including the existing City and the unincorporated areas identified in Renton's Potential Annexation Areas (PAA). Policy LU-2: Designate Potential Annexation Areas (PAAs) as those portions of unincorporated King County outside the existing City limits, but within the Urban Growth Area, where: 1) Renton can logically provide urban services over the planning period; 2) Land use patterns support implementation of Renton's Urban Center objectives; and, Map Amendment 2005-M- 0JVest Hill Issue Paper Page 8 of 8 3) Development meets overall standards for quality identified for city neighborhoods. [If annexed, new development would be required to meet City standards] In addition, the following King County Countywide Planning Policy is applicable: LU-31: In collaboration with adjacent counties and cities and King County, and in consultation with residential groups in affected areas, each city shall designate a potential annexation area. Each potential annexation area shall be specific to each city. Potential annexation areas shall not overlap. Within the potential annexation area the city shall adopt criteria for annexation, including conformance with Countywide Planning Policies, and a schedule for providing urban services and facilities within the potential annexation area. This process shall ensure that unincorporated urban islands of King County are not created between cities and strive to eliminate existing islands between cities. AMENDMENT REVIEW CRITERIA RMC 4-9-020, Comprehensive Plan Adoption and Amendment Process requires that a proposal demonstrate that the requested amendment is timely and meets at least one of the following: Review Criteria for Comprehensive Plan Amendments: 1. The request supports the vision embodied in the Comprehensive Plan, or 2. The request supports the adopted business plan goals established by the City Council, or 3. The request eliminates conflicts with existing elements or policies, or 4. The request amends the Comprehensive Plan to accommodate new policy directives of the City Council. The Comprehensive Plan Amendment to add the West Hill to Renton's Potential Annexation Area meets one through three of the Review Criteria. ZONING CONCURRENCY A concurrent rezone is not required. Zoning would be determined at the time of future annexation. CONCLUSION The addition of the West Hill to Renton's PAA is consistent with City and County objectives and policies. Therefore, the recommendation is that a map amendment be approved.

Report prepared by Berk & Associates • WEST HILL GOVERNANCE ALTERNATIVES ASSESSMENT SUMMARY REPORT Executive Summary INTRODUCTION The unincorporated area of West Hill has four choices for provision of local government services: 1. Remain an unincorporated area in King County; 2. Incorporate as a new city; 3. Annex to Seattle; or 4. Annex to Renton In theory, West Hill does have a fifth alternative: Annex to Tukwila, but when approached, the City of Tukwila indicated that they were unwilling to consider annexation. In January 2005, the King County Executive's Office contracted with Berk & Associates (a consulting firm) to provide assistance to the West Hill Governance Alternatives Task Force. Berk & Associates' role was to assist the Task Force in assessing the four alternatives that are available to the West Hill area. This report summarizes the approach, activities, and findings of that assessment. Berk &Associates' charge in assisting the West Hill Task Force was threefold: 1. Assist the Task Force in collecting information about the governance issues West Hill residents and businesses care about most, and their goals and desires for their community's future; 2. Assist both the Task Force and the public in understanding what governance alternatives would mean in terms of taxes, services, and the ways in which West Hill would relate to its provider of governmental services; and 3. Assist the Task Force in making connections between what West Hill residents and businesses want and what residents would be likely to get if the area were to pursue any of the four governance alternatives. Ultimately, the goal of the Task Force was to arrive at a recommendation about (1) what governance option will best achieve West Hill's goals and desires and (2) what steps the West Hill community should take next, if any, to try to pursue the Task Force's recommended path. WEST HILL GOVERNANCE ALTERNATIVES ASSESSMENT SUMMARY REPORT UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE WEST HILL COMMUNITY VALUES During the Governance Alternatives Assessment process, Berk & Associates and the Task Force pursued two phases of community outreach. The first phase, which took place during March of 2005, was a series of neighborhood meetings throughout the West Hill community. The goal of these March meetings was to get an understanding, early in the governance study, about what public services are most important to residents. Coming out of these meetings, the understanding gained during the discussions was used to guide analysis and data collection, to ensure that the information provided to the Task Force and West Hill residents directly addressed the issues West Hill cared most deeply about. During the second phase, Berk & Associates and the Task Force hosted a community forum on May 25th, at Dimmit Middle School. The goals of the community forum were (1) to provide residents answers to the questions they had posed in the March neighborhood meetings and (2) to solicit additional community feedback regarding community preferences and priorities. These preferences and priorities have been used to inform the Task Force recommendations concerning governance alternatives. What Does the Community Care About? Overall, the West Hill community values the area as both a place and a community. Residents care a great deal about their library and their fire district. They also feel strongly that high quality police services are important, actions that would undermine property values should be avoided, and low taxes are important. Finally, people would like to see West Hill's commercial center improved so that it can offer more services to a larger portion of the community. While many people expressed strong opinions about dollars and cents issues like taxes and property values, at the core of most comments and discussions was a deep-seated affection for their community. An overarching theme in the neighborhood meetings and the community forum was a sense that residents cared about West Hill as a place to live, and they carried with them a sense of loyalty towards their community and a strong interest in preserving its quality-of-life. One manifestation of residents' loyalty and sense of stewardship was their attitude about the Skyway Library. People of all ages were dedicated to Skyway Library because it is their library and because of what it provides: a positive public space for the community. GOVERNANCE ALTERNATIVES Incorporation Is Incorporating as a New City of West Hill Financially Feasible? The short answer to this question is: probably not. While this alternative would provide the greatest level of local control over future decisions affecting the community, it does not appear to pass the financial feasibility test. As an area with only a modest tax base, and relatively high BERK & ASSOCIATES October 2005 i i WEST HILL GOVERNANCE ALTERNATIVES ASSESSMENT SUMMARY REPORT demands for costly services like public safety, a City of West Hill's revenues would probably not be sufficient to provide necessary services at a level that would meet the community's desires or expectations. To clarify the baseline question about incorporation feasibility, the analytic team asked a hypothetical question: If West Hill were an existing city in 2005, would it have sufficient revenues, given existing tax rates, to pay for the levels of service it now receives? The answer to this question is: No. At current tax rates and current levels of service, revenues for a City of West Hill would fall short of the City's day-to-day costs of service by $1.75 million per year. The principal costs a City of West Hill would face include Public Safety (with an estimated cost of $3.5 million) and General Government, which includes staffing of City Hall for functions like the City Administrator, City Clerk, Finance, and administration of Public Works. The principal sources of day-to-day operating revenue would include property taxes (nearly $2 million); gambling taxes (more than $1 million); and $460,000 in revenues distributed by the state (including local distributions of gas taxes and liquor taxes and profits). By city standards, West Hill supports relatively few businesses, which with the exception of the two casinos, provide little tax base for a proposed city. Businesses in the area generate little in the way of taxable retail sales, and with only 1,000 estimated private sector employees in the area, options for raising revenues via business taxes or business license fees are limited. Remain Unincorporated If the area chooses to remain unincorporated, West Hill residents and businesses would see no change in the providers of governmental service. West Hill would continue to receive the majority of local services from King County. Fire services will continue to be provided by Fire District 20. Library services will continue to be provided by the King County Library System. And water and sewer services will continue to be provided by Skyway Water & Sewer District (for the portion of West Hill that receives sewer service). As a small part of a very large county, West Hill residents have a limited ability to influence governmental decisions that affect most local services. In a given year, King County decisionmakers take many actions that directly or indirectly impact local services in West Hill, including decisions that affect Police, Parks & Recreation, Roads, Land Use & Planning, Stormwater, Human Services and Community Development. As residents of an area that represents less than 1% of the voting population in the county, West Hill residents face barriers when it comes to affecting decisions that directly impact their community. On the other hand, if West Hill were to remain unincorporated, residents would maintain a great deal of local control over Fire and Water & Sewer services. Both Fire District 20 and the Skyway Water & Sewer District have district boundaries that closely coincide with West Hill's boundaries. BERK & ASSOCIATES' October 2005 i i i WEST HILL GOVERNANCE ALTERNATIVES ASSESSMENT SUMMARY REPORT This means that West Hill residents and businesses make up virtually 100% of the each district's constituency. Taxes As residents of unincorporated King County, the typical West Hill homeowner pays roughly $193 more in taxes and fees for utility services than she would if West Hill was part of Renton, but $281 less than if West Hill was part of Seattle (see Table 1).' In terms of a trend, taxes in unincorporated West Hill have increased faster in recent years than they have in Renton or Seattle. From 2000 to 2005, a selected West Hill homeowner with a house valued at $225,000 (in 2005) saw her total property tax payment increase by 41% (more than $800). An owner of an equivalent home in Renton saw her overall property tax payments increase by 33% and the equivalent homeowner in Seattle saw her payments increase by an even lower 22%. Table 1: Taxes and Costs of Service for a Typical West Hill Homeowner Stay Annex to Annex to Unincorporated Seattle Renton Property Tax* $2,860 $2,710 $2,680 Utility Taxes $60 $288 $236 Cable Franchise Fee $24 $12 $24 Monorail Tax** -- $238 -- TOTAL $2,944 $3,248 $2,940 Difference vs. Increase Decrease Unincorporated $304 ($4) Service Costs Surface Water Fee $91 $122 $65 Water& Sewer Charges $901 $923 $901 Solid Waste Collection Charges $324 $248 $161 TOTAL $1,316 $1,293 $1,127 Difference vs. Unincorporated Decrease Decrease ($23) ($189) GRAND TOTAL $4,260 $4,541 $4,067 TOTAL COST DIFFERENCE Increase Decrease $281 ($193) *House assessed at$225,000 **Assumes total vehicle value of$17,000 1 The higher tax burden as part of Seattle is based on an assumption that, if annexed to Seattle, West Hill residents would be required to pay the Monorail vehicle excise tax. See the note following Table 9 for discussion of this issue. BERK ASSOCIATES : October 2005 iv WEST HILL GOVERNANCE ALTERNATIVES ASSESSMENT SUMMARY REPORT Level of Service What should West Hill residents and businesses expect to happen to service levels if the area remains unincorporated? Unless King County gets authority to increase taxes in unincorporated areas, departments that are providing services that are funded out of King County's general fund will all face significant fiscal pressure to reduce expenditures in urban unincorporated areas like West Hill. (This includes the Sheriff's Office, Parks, Human Services, Land Use & Planning, and Economic Development.) The principal factor causing this fiscal pressure is the effect of the 1% limit on property tax revenue growth enacted by voters when they passed Initiative 747 in 2001. The new 1% limit restricts property tax revenue growth to 1% plus the value of new construction. The previous limit was 6% and was established through state legislative action. King County's general fund is where most of the revenues are collected by the county to pay for day-to-day operations. From 2002 to 2005, King County expects that general fund revenues will have increased at a rate of 2.7% per year. At the same time, the basic costs of providing services have increased at more than twice that rate. The County estimates that, in order to maintain 2002 staffing levels and levels of service in 2005, King County would have needed an additional $137 million in general fund revenues in 2005 (25% more than the County actually received). It is difficult to say which services may be cut or reduced in unincorporated areas as available revenues continue to lag behind growth in the cost of public services. Those decisions must be made each year through the County's budget adoption process. However, until the County is able to fully address its structural deficit, the County will be forced to make cuts across all of its service areas, including services to local urban unincorporated areas like West Hill. What about other services? For services that are not funded out of King County's general fund, service levels are likely to fare better. Special service districts like the fire and library district have their own property tax levies. In part because of voter approved levy-lid lifts, revenues from these levies have grown in recent years (part of the reason West Hill residents have seen rapid increases in property taxes). ANNEXATION Residents of West Hill cannot simply choose to annex to an adjacent city. Rather, the decision to annex must be mutual; both the annexing City and annexation area residents must actively choose to pursue annexation. Presumably, if the recommendation of the West Hill Governance Alternatives Task Force is to pursue annexation, an accompanying recommendation will be for West Hill representatives to begin a dialogue with the potential annexing city. West Hill as a Neighborhood in Seattle As part of the City of Seattle, the neighborhood of West Hill would comprise roughly 2% of the City's population of nearly 600,000. West Hill residents would be constituents in the dominant city in Washington State and the Northwest. West Hill is nine to ten miles southeast of downtown Seattle, which would make it the furthest neighborhood from Downtown. Given Seattle's large population, the addition of West Hill would BERK & ASSOCIATES October 2005 v WEST HILL GOVERNANCE ALTERNATIVES ASSESSMENT SUMMARY REPORT do little to change the City's center of gravity, which in terms of population, lies north of downtown in the South Lake Union neighborhood. On the other hand, as a part of the state's largest city, West Hill would have the advantage being a part of a city with substantial resources—where it would compete with 38 other city neighborhoods for neighborhood resource allocations. As a geographically dispersed city, a number of Seattle's outlying neighborhoods fall within the orbit of adjacent cities. With its proximity to Renton, West Hill would be one such neighborhood. West Hill would continue to be part of the Renton School District, and many West Hill residents would continue to shop and play in Renton. West Hill as a Neighborhood in Renton If West Hill were part of the City of Renton, the neighborhood of West Hill would represent 20% of Renton's entire population. With a population of roughly 70,000 (2005), the new, larger City of Renton would jump from the 14th most populous city in the state to the 12th. If West Hill became part of the city, Renton's center of gravity (for population) would shift about a half mile to the northwest. Renton's current center of gravity lies in a residential neighborhood to the east of 1-405 (roughly at the intersection of NE 4th and Edmonds Avenue NE). With a neighborhood of West Hill, the center would shift to the west of 1-405, to the city's commercial center (the PACCAR plant). In effect, annexation of West Hill would more closely align Renton's city boundaries with the practical boundaries that describe how Renton functions as a place. As a neighborhood in Renton, West Hill would strengthen already-established connections with the city. Most of West Hill is part of the Renton School District, and according to information provided by participants in neighborhood forums, many of West Hill's residents already shop and play in Renton on a regular basis. Under annexation to Renton, Renton would leave the Skyway Water & Sewer district in place, which would maintain West Hill's local control of that service. Key Issues Taxes As noted previously, if West Hill was part of Renton in 2005, a typical homeowner in West Hill would have faced $190 less in taxes and utility costs. If West Hill was part of Seattle, that homeowner would have faced tax and utility costs that were roughly $280 higher due largely to the impact of the Monorail tax (see note accompanying Table 9 on page 23 for a discussion of uncertainty regarding application of the Monorail tax to annexed areas). Fire Service If West Hill annexes to Seattle or Renton, the Seattle or Renton fire departments will take over provision of fire and emergency medical services (EMS) in West Hill. Facilities, equipment, and full time fire district staff would be absorbed into Seattle or Renton's department. BERK & ASSOCIATES October 2005 vi Asimiwirimmuismer NINOO WEST HILL GOVERNANCE ALTERNATIVES ASSESSMENT SUMMARY REPORT Unlike Seattle or Renton, Fire District 20 augments its full time staff with part time volunteer staff. These volunteer staff would probably not be absorbed into the Renton or Seattle departments upon annexation. Fire District 20 has two fire stations: Skyway Fire Station and Bryn Mawr Station near Lake Washington. Bryn Mawr Station is old (built in 1942 and never upgraded), is only staffed in the evening by volunteers, and is viewed by both Seattle and Renton as unnecessary for effective provision of fire and EMS services. Both Seattle and Renton would be likely to close Bryn Mawr Station if they were to annex the area, concentrating instead on providing fire and EMS service to the West Hill area from larger and more modern Skyway Station. It is unlikely that West Hill residents would see a dramatic difference in response times if the area were to annex to either Seattle or Renton. Closure of the Bryn Mawr Station would mean that responses would no longer originate out of that station (in the evening when it is staffed), which would result in slightly longer travel times for calls in portions of Bryn Mawr during evening hours. Ultimately, however, the Bryn Mawr and Skyway stations are less than a mile apart, and no part of Bryn Mawr is more than a mile and a half from the Skyway Station. Library Services West Hill currently receives its library services from the King County Library System (KCLS), a district which operates the 5,100 square foot Skyway Library. Skyway's existing library was built in 1970, and as part of KCLS's recently approved capital bond, the district has plans to build a new 8,000 square foot library in Skyway, with construction beginning in 2011. If West Hill were to annex to Seattle or Renton, the annexing city would take over provision of library services in the area. Renton currently has two city libraries and indicates that they would take over operation of the Skyway library, increasing the number of City libraries to three. The City of Seattle has an extensive library system, with the newly constructed Seattle Central Library and 27 neighborhood branches. Seattle Libraries has indicated that they would be likely to close the West Hill library and seek to provide library services to West Hill through the system's other branches (the nearest being the Rainier Beach Branch). The KCLS Bond and Construction of the New Library King County Library System voters recently approved a library capital bond levy. For 2006 through 2011, the new KCLS bond levy will be combined with the 1988 bond levy (which will expire in 2011). Even if West Hill annexes to Seattle or Renton and property owners are no longer in the Library District, taxpayers in West Hill must continue paying property taxes for the bond levy through 2022. (The bond levy in 2006 is expected to amount to slightly less than $20 for a $225,000 house.) If West Hill annexes to Seattle or Renton, and thus leaves the Library District, KCLS will not be legally required to build the Skyway Library now slated to begin construction in 2011. Since Renton has stated that they would want to provide library services in West Hill (if the City annexed the area), the City indicates that they would try to negotiate an agreement with KCLS to get the new library built. BERK & ASSOCIATES October 2005 vii ' WEST HILL GOVERNANCE ALTERNATIVES ASSESSMENT SUMMARY REPORT Parks. Recreation, and Community Services Both Renton and Seattle spend a great deal more providing parks, recreation, and community services than does King County. King County reports that it currently spends less than $5 per resident on parks and recreation services in West Hill, while Renton reports that it spends $126 per resident and Seattle reports expenditures of $184. Annexation to either city would result in a substantial increase in parks and recreation services. Both Renton and Seattle would probably increase substantially the level of maintenance of Skyway and Bryn Mawr parks and extend their existing recreation programs to the West Hill. Staff at the City of Renton have indicated that the City would make use of all of West Hill's elementary schools to host a full slate of youth programs and community services activities (a relationship between the City and Renton Schools that is well established now within city boundaries). WHAT DID RESIDENTS SAY ABOUT THEIR PREFERENCES? At the May 25th community forum, after having a brief opportunity to learn about the alternatives, 120 community members completed a comment form. Participants were asked to rank their current governance preferences from 1, most desirable, to 4, least desirable. Overall, 60% of respondents picked annexation as their first choice (favoring Renton over Seattle by a ratio of nearly 4 to 1) 38% preferred remaining unincorporated, and 1 person chose incorporation.

Meeting attendees were asked to indicate on maps where they worked, shopped, and recreated. These general patterns of activity provide a useful context for considering community cohesion and levels of affinity for neighboring cities. Figure 5 shows the distribution of where West Hill residents shop and play. Overall, shopping and recreation activities were concentrated in a few areas including Renton, West Hill, Tukwila, and Downtown Seattle. A large majority of residents indicated that they do their shopping in Renton with smaller concentrations indicating that they shop in Tukwila and West Hill (attendees were free to indicate as many shopping different shopping destinations as they wanted). The recreation activity patterns are more spread out with concentrations of activity in and along Lake Washington, in Renton, and in Downtown Seattle.

Source:West Hill Neighborhood Meetings,March 2005 B E R K & ASSOCIATES; October 2005 4 Nwe WEST HILL GOVERNANCE ALTERNATIVES ASSESSMENT SUMMARY REPORT WEST HILL GOVERNANCE ALTERNATIVES ASSESSMENT SUMMARY REPORT Public Outreach THE COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROCESS During the Governance Alternatives Assessment process, Berk & Associates and the Task Force pursued two phases of community outreach. The first phase, which occurred during March of 2005, was a series of neighborhood meetings throughout West Hill. The goal of these March meetings was to get an understanding, early in the governance study, about the list of governance issues and public services that are most important to residents. The understanding gained during these meetings was used to direct later analysis and data collection to ensure that the information provided to the Task Force and West Hill residents addressed the things West Hill cared most deeply about. In the second phase, Berk & Associates and the Task Force hosted a community forum to inform residents about the implications of governance alternatives and to solicit feedback regarding community preferences and priorities. Indications of community preferences and priorities helped to steer the Task Force when it came to formulating their recommendations concerning governance alternatives. Publicity The following efforts were made in February and March to advertise the Neighborhood Meetings and again in April and May to advertise the Community Forum: • Task Force members placed signs around the community and distributed fliers in their own neighborhoods. • Berk &Associates staff distributed over 4,000 fliers and posters announcing the meetings throughout the West Hill community, including to businesses in Skyway, Renton and Seattle, community centers, and the Task Force members for distribution. • Fliers were distributed through the Renton School District to students in the West Hill area and Renton High School. • Neighborhood churches were contacted and several pastors included the forum announcement in their services. • Local social service agencies and libraries agreed to have fliers on hand. • The Greater Skyway Business Association was contacted to help with flier distribution. • A press release announcing the meeting dates was distributed to all local media outlets through the King County Executive's media relations office. BERK & ASSOCIATES' October2005 5 WEST HILL GOVERNANCE ALTERNATIVES ASSESSMENT SUMMARY REPORT • For the Community Forum in May, avenues listed above were augmented through four additional channels: • An advertisement was placed in the Renton Reporter. • All attendees of the neighborhood meetings were called and/or e-mailed with the Forum information. • Skyway Water & Sewer District placed an insert advertising the Forum in each utility bill. • Flyers were distributed to all major apartment complexes in West Hill. PHASE 1—NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS Neighborhood meetings were designed to gather information about West Hill residents' wishes, hopes, and dreams for their community and to gather information about their priorities for public services. Four meetings were held, grouping two neighborhoods together for each meeting: Hilltop/Skyway (March 1); Bryn Mawr/Lakeridge (March 3); Campbell Hill/Panorama (March 8) and Skycrest/Earlington (March 10). In total, more than 140 community members participated in the neighborhood meetings and 25 surveys and emails were received commenting on the public services of most concern to the community. The Bryn Mawr/Lakeridge meeting had the highest attendance with 68 community members followed by the Campbell Hill/Panorama meeting with 33 attendees. The Hilltop/Skyway and Skycrest/Earlington meetings had 11 and 12 attendees, respectively. Several task force members and the co-chairs attended each meeting and assisted in facilitating groups and providing information. In addition to gathering input at the meetings, flyers distributed in the community advertising the meeting contained a survey as a means for those not able to attend the meeting to provide input. Over the course of three months 25 surveys were returned. Key Findings Berk & Associates used the following key findings in addition to frequently asked questions to direct the governance analysis. Common concerns and frequently asked questions included: • Changes in levels of taxation under different governance alternatives • Levels of Service from: o Police o Parks o Roads/Infrastructure o Economic and Community Development o Planning, Permitting and Zoning • Changes in special district service providers and the implications: o Library o Water & Sewer ', BERK & ASSOCIATES !

SUMMARY REPORT o Fire o Schools • Legality of casinos in Seattle, Renton, or a possible new city of West Hill • Experiences of other recently incorporated cities • Business taxes and ordinances under different governance alternatives • Other non-governance issues: o Potential for changes in address (City) or zip code with changes in governance o Potential for changes in West Hill's area code o Potential impact on home or car insurance rates PHASE 2 - COMMUNITY WIDE OPEN HOUSE FORUM Overview of Community Forum On May 25`h, 2005, the West Hill Governance Alternatives Task Force hosted a Community Forum. The goals of this forum included: 1. To share with the community results of the governance alternative assessment; 2. To interact with people from the community to continue to gather information about people's priorities, issues, concerns, and desires; and 3. To give attendees the opportunity to provide written feedback through the comment form. The information presented at the forum was designed to inform the community about the implications of four governance alternatives—remaining unincorporated, annexing to Seattle or Renton, or incorporating as a new city. Over 190 residents participated in the open house Forum. When they arrived, participants were directed to four informational stations presenting the results of analysis of each governance alternative. Three of the four stations had four posters, each profiling one governance alternative. The fourth station had posters with frequently asked questions from the neighborhood meetings and answers to these questions. Each poster had a corresponding handout. In addition to the forum, Berk & Associates and the Task Force distributed handout packages, including the comment form, at the Skyway Library and at the Skyway Water & Sewer District headquarters. Finally, comment forms were made available for download on the Task Force website, www.westhillcommunity.com. During the Community Forum, people from the West Hill community read the governance profiles, asked the Task Force and Berk & Associates staff questions, conversed with their neighbors, and filled out comment forms. In all, 112 comment forms were collected at the meeting, 6 more were received by mail, and two were received via e-mail for a total of 120 returned forms. Most participants reported that they heard about the meeting through the utility bill or from flyers posted throughout the community. Overview and Summary of Findings Generally, respondents like living in West Hill and are satisfied with most services. One respondent wrote, "I've lived in Skyway for over 20 years and I love this area." Residents' ! BERK & ASSOCIATES , October 2005 7 *NO NNW WEST HILL GOVERNANCE ALTERNATIVES ASSESSMENT SUMMARY REPORT priorities about a change in governance, which surfaced from the comment forms, include library, fire and police services, tax burden, and property values. In many instances, concerns that respondents raised, or the stated reasons for their preference in governance, were based on misperceptions and/or a lack of accurate information. In summarizing responses, we have tried to point out instances where we believe an assertion is incorrect, or where respondents may be basing their stated preference on inaccurate information. Special District Services. Respondents conveyed overall satisfaction with current levels of service in West Hill. Given possible change, they were concerned about losing King County Library System (KCLS) and Fire District 20 service. Fifteen percent of responses mentioned Skyway Library as a priority and 12% mentioned the Fire District. As a whole, respondents are extremely satisfied with both districts and feel strongly that losing service in either arena would be detrimental to the community. Library. Some respondents said that it was absolutely necessary to keep the library on the hill because it is very important for children, and for the community as a whole. They were clear that the library is a valued community asset because it provides access to information and serves as a safe community gathering place. Also, a few respondents referred to KCLS a "nationally renowned" library system, which some believed compared favorably with other local library systems. Lastly, recognizing that West Hill residents are currently able to access Seattle and Renton public libraries in addition to KCLS, some respondents were concerned about losing access to all of these systems if annexed to Renton or Seattle. (Such a loss of access would not occur.) Fire. Some respondents described the prospect of losing the fire station at Bryn Mawr as "unacceptable." They did not want to lose service or their volunteer staff, and many think their home insurance rates would increase with the possible loss of fire station and an aid car. (Our understanding is that residential insurance rates would not increase. Moreover, both Renton and Seattle have better fire insurance ratings than does Fire District 20.) Taxes. Approximately 17%, 20 forum respondents, expressed some concern over property and other tax increases from a change in governance. Of the 20 respondents, five were specifically unwilling to pay the monorail tax, while two respondents were proponents of the monorail and were inclined to pay the tax. On the other hand, 4% of respondents said they were not especially concerned about tax rates if they were being "used for good community improvements such as park, police, fire, sidewalks, and other activities." Some respondents were concerned with the manner in which King County spends their tax dollars and were also skeptical of King County's revenue shortage. They felt that if King County were more efficient, the budget crisis would be less severe. For example, one resident commented: "King County does not need additional revenue. King County administration needs to rethink the priorities and make more efficient and effective use of the revenues that are available." Property Values. Twelve percent of respondents were concerned that a change in governance may negatively affect their property values. Most believed that annexation to Renton would inevitably hurt their investment. (While this issue is open to debate, it is doubtful that property values E K : ASSOCIATES ' October 2005 8 WEST HILL GOVERNANCE ALTERNATIVES ASSESSMENT SUMMARY REPORT would be negatively affected by annexation to either Renton or Seattle. If anything, higher levels of local services, stricter enforcement to land use and building codes, and city investment in economic development in West Hill would tend to increase property values.) Police. Respondents see room for improvement in police services. They agree that police services cannot decrease under a governance change and that the residents of West Hill must remain well-served under any alternative. Respondents'Governance Preferences Residents were asked to rank their current governance preferences from 1, most desirable, to 4, least desirable. If instead, respondents market only one box with a check mark or an "x" it was considered a 1. Overall, 60% of respondents preferred annexation to Renton or Seattle over remaining unincorporated. • 53 respondents preferred annexation to Renton; of those, 28 chose to remain unincorporated and 12 chose Seattle as a second choice. • 43 respondents preferred to remain unincorporated; of those 28 chose to annex to Renton and 4 chose Seattle as a second choice. • 15 respondents preferred annexation to Seattle; of those 7 chose to annex to Renton and 5 preferred to remain unincorporated as a second choice. • One respondent preferred incorporation as a new city.

Of 43 respondents who preferred to remain unincorporated, 24 felt simply that life in unincorporated King County is fine as it is. They are content with current services and prefer "known versus the unknown." For example, one participant responded, "I am happy the way things are. I don't see a worsening of our condition." Another noted, "don't want to change unless we have to." Respondents are satisfied with their services, and, as noted earlier, are particularly attached to the KCLS Skyway Library, Fire District 20 stations, and the volunteer firefighter force. Respondents also appreciate the "rural feel of the area." One participant commented that she "did not want sidewalks." In general, respondents who preferred to remain unincorporated see no need or reason to change.

Respondents favored Renton for numerous reasons, the leading reason being that they felt Renton is a natural fit for the community, both culturally and geographically (Table 5). They mentioned that they "work," "shop," and "play" in Renton and seven respondents specifically noted that West Hill residents "are already [served by] Renton schools." Some respondents mentioned they felt that their neighborhood was closer to the core of Renton and was already served by the City; for example, "Earlington is already part of Renton," and "most of Bryn Mawr is located just a few blocks from Renton, only a mile from the core of downtown Renton." Five respondents also selected Renton because of the potential decrease in their annual tax bill. Moreover, respondents were impressed with Renton's work in economic development; for example, one resident commented that they need Renton's "leadership on governance [including] economic development, and parks". Many respondents who preferred annexation to Renton were satisfied with their current service but felt that the King County budget problems may make a change in governance inevitable. As one respondent noted, "it appears that West Hill can no longer support itself. We would function more efficiently if annexed to Renton." Another mentioned that "annexing to Renton seems to be the most viable alternative."

Eight of 15 of respondents who preferred annexation to Seattle said they believed property values would increase, or at least not decrease under that option. Some respondents who preferred Seattle mentioned that they "purchased a home based on it having a Seattle address" and they wanted to keep it. Three respondents noted that they identified with Seattle and felt they were already a part of the City. As one respondent commented: "Seattle is a metropolitan city - Renton is not"; and another one observed: "...there is a stigma associated with Renton in regards to being a less cultural and less valued city." Incorporate as a New City. Forum respondents thought incorporation as a new city was infeasible; however, a few noted that if it was feasible, the amount of local control would be preferable. "Independence" was the main reason for the one participant who preferred incorporating over all other alternatives. Two others ranked incorporation second, calling the alternative "ideal." Local control appears to be something that is a priority to West Hill residents; however, most respondents are not interested in incorporation. BERK & ASSOCIATES: October 2005 11 Airmimummiour WEST HILL GOVERNANCE ALTERNATIVES ASSESSMENT SUMMARY REPORT Remaining Questions from the Community • The most frequently asked questions were "What are the next steps? When will they come?" • Some respondents questioned the accuracy of library portion of the profiles, which they believed did not differentiate between the KCLS capital bond and the operating levy and incorrectly referred to a bond as a levy. (See the Annexation section of the final report for more detailed discussion of the KCLS regular levy versus the bond levy.) • Respondents sought clarification regarding electricity providers under different governance alternatives. (Electric service will continue to be provided by Seattle City Light under all governance scenarios.) • Respondents questioned if West Hill would truly remain the Renton School District in the long term. (School district boundaries are unaffected by changes in city boundaries.) BER. K & ASSOCIATESi October 2005 12 %we •rmif WEST HILL GOVERNANCE AI CE ALTERNATIVES ASSESSMENT SUMMARY REPORT WEST HILL GOVERNANCE ALTERNATIVES ASSESSMENT SUMMARY REPORT Incorporation IS IT FINANCIALLY FEASIBLE FOR WEST HILL TO INCORPORATE AS A NEW CITY? The short answer to this question is: probably not. As an area with only a modest tax base, and relatively high demands for costly services like public safety, a City of West Hill's revenues would probably not be sufficient to provide necessary services. To clarify the baseline question about incorporation feasibility, this analysis asks a hypothetical question: If West Hill were an existing city in 2005, would it have sufficient revenues, given existing tax rates, to pay for the levels of service it now receives? The answer to this question is: No. At current tax rates and current levels of service, the City's revenues would fall short of the City's day-to-day costs of service by $1.75 million per year (see Table 6). This assessment assumes that an incorporated City of West Hill would not take on provision of fire and EMS services, library services, or water and sewer services. (Those services would continue to be provided by Fire District 20, the King County Library District, Skyway Water & Sewer District, respectively.) This estimate of service costs also assumes that a City of West Hill would contract with King County departments for provision of law and justice services (police, courts, and adult detention), and roads maintenance. Such an arrangement is customary in recently-incorporated cities because it means new cities do not have to make large capital investments in vehicles and equipment. The principal costs a City of West Hill would face include Public Safety (with an estimated cost of $3.5 million) and General Government, which includes staffing of City Hall for functions like the City Administrator, City Clerk, Finance, and administration of Public Works. The principal sources of day-to-day operating revenue include property taxes (nearly $2 million); gambling taxes (more than $1 million); and $460,000 in revenues distributed by the state (including local distributions of gas taxes and liquor taxes and profits).

In the past dozen years, six new cities have incorporated in King County. Compared with these six cities, an incorporated City of West Hill would face substantial financial hurdles. A city's general fund accounts for most of the revenues a city collects and most of the day-to-day operating expenditures a city incurs. The single largest general fund expenditure most cities face is for law enforcement services (including expenditures for police, jail, and courts). One quick way to judge a city's fiscal strength is to compare its general fund revenues per capita with those of other cities. For a more robust comparison, analysts will often look at the difference between cities' general fund revenues and their law enforcement expenditures. - BERK & ASSOCIATESi October 2005 14 WEST HILL GOVERNANCE ALTERNATIVES ASSESSMENT SUMMARY REPORT In the case of West Hill, such a comparison highlights the financial barriers the area would face if it were to pursue incorporation. If West Hill had been an operating city in 2005, it would have collected general fund revenues of roughly $4.7 million (or $340 per resident). At the same time, in order to maintain existing levels of law enforcement, the City would have had to spend roughly $3.5 million (or $250 per resident) on law enforcement alone. It is worth noting that some of the cities that rank above West Hill in Table 7 have faced serious financial challenges. Both Kenmore and Covington have reported that it is a challenge to generate revenues that are sufficient to meet the cities' level-of-service goals.

Estimated 2005 revenues and expenditures assume 3%yearly increases between 2003 and 2005. ** 2004 Figures from Covington Budget inflated by 3%. WHAT ARE THE KEY FACTORS AFFECTING FEASIBILITY? Most cities in Washington State rely heavily on three principal revenue sources: retail sales tax, property tax, and business and utility taxes. Among these important sources, West Hill is poorly positioned to generate significant revenues from either retail sales or business and utility taxes. By city standards, West Hill supports relatively few businesses, which with the exception of the two casinos, provide little tax base for a proposed City. Businesses in the area generate little in the way of taxable retail sales, and with only 1,000 estimated private sector employees in the area, options for raising revenues via business taxes or business license fees are limited.2 Except for the two casinos, West Hill's greatest fiscal asset is the value of its real property. However, with estimated taxable assessed value of $88,000 per capita, West Hill still ranks below most King County cities in that measure (see Table 8). 2 West Hill is currently home to 334,000 square feet of active commercial buildings (i.e. commercial buildings that support significant private-sector employment. This estimate excludes churches, schools, apartments, and storage warehouses. Typically, in a place like West Hill, one would expect one employee for every 350 square feet of commercial space, which suggests that the area supports fewer than 1,000 employees in the private sector. This estimate is also supported by PSRC estimates of employment by Transportation Analysis Zone. ' BERK & ASSOCIATES?

From a city's perspective, the most damaging blows resulted from statewide passage of three initiatives: 1-695 (ending collection of the State's motor vehicle excise tax [MVET)); 1-747 (limiting the growth of property tax levies on a city's existing property to less than the rate of inflation); and 1-776 (ending the collection of vehicle license fees). Combined, these BERK ASSOCIATES ! October2005 16 WEST HILL GOVERNANCE ALTERNATIVES ASSESSMENT • SUMMARY REPORT initiatives have resulted in the immediate reduction of millions of dollars of city revenues, and have set up the long-run erosion of cities' property tax bases. In inflation-adjusted terms, 1-747 limits cause property tax revenues for most cities to fall over time (particularly on a per-resident basis). 1-747 limits the growth of property tax revenues to 1% per year (excluding new construction)—a rate of growth that fails to keep up with inflation. Due to compounding effects over time, erosion of property tax revenues becomes more pronounced over a number of years. Given loss of MVET, the loss of vehicle license fees, and I-747's erosion of property tax revenues, cities in Washington State are becoming increasingly dependent on sales taxes and other taxes and fees levied on commercial activity. As an area that would have only modest property tax revenues to start with, and little commercial activity to underpin a city's fiscal balance, a City of West Hill would face substantial fiscal hurdles. Another consideration residents should bear in mind is that an incorporated City of West Hill would be heavily dependent on gambling taxes from the area's two casinos. Typically, a city would prefer not to be heavily dependent on taxes stemming from such a concentrated source. COULD A CITY OF WEST HILL INCREASE TAXES? Yes, but the options are limited. A City of West Hill could increase tax rates and generate additional revenues. Beyond the taxes included in the baseline estimate, the City of West Hill would have authority to levy utility taxes of 6% on utilities including telephone, natural gas, water & sewer, storm drainage, solid waste, and cable television service. (Utility taxes beyond 6% are possible with a public vote.) The City would also have the authority to levy business taxes and/or business license fees. Almost all West Hill residents receive their electrical service from Seattle City Light. The City of Seattle already collects a 6% utility tax on that electrical service, which accrues to the City of Seattle. If West Hill became a city (or if the area annexed to Renton) then it is possible that the City of Seattle would agree to share a portion of those revenues. The preceding revenue estimate assumes that Seattle would agree to a 50/50 split of electrical utility tax revenues generated in West Hill. In total, if the City were to raise taxes to the maximum allowed without a public vote, one might expect the City to increase tax revenues by as much as $600,000 to $800,000. BERK & ASSOCIATES ! October 2005 17 err° Sirr1` WEST HILL GOVERNANCE ALTERNATIVES ASSESSMENT SUMMARY REPORT COULD A CITY OF WEST HILL DECREASE SERVICE LEVELS The expenditures included in the baseline feasibility assessment were designed to reflect what it would cost a City of West Hill to maintain existing levels of local services. The principal day-to- day costs of the City would stem from: • Law enforcement services (police, courts, and legal services): $3.5 million • General government/City Hall (city manager, city council, city clerk, finance, public works, community development, parks administration): $1.5 million (see Figure 7) • Roads maintenance: $610,000 Among the three, roads maintenance and City Hall expenditures probably offer a few, limited opportunities for cost savings. Estimated City Hall expenditures include an assumption that 15 full-time employees would staff City Hall. This is a low number compared to many cities comparable in size to West Hill. However, poorer cities across the State do maintain even leaner staffing levels in City Hall. In regard to road maintenance expenditures, the reality is that reductions in maintenance activities are unlikely to offer long-run savings. The nature of road maintenance is such that reducing maintenance in the short term results in even more costly repairs in the future. The greatest opportunity for cost savings would stem from reductions in police services. This possibility raises two questions: • How much appetite would West Hill residents have for reductions in police service? • How feasible would it be to reduce patrol staffing in the City if that meant reducing safety for residents and officers?

The City of Tukwila declined an invitation to participate, suggesting that the City was not interested in annexation. The Annexation Process There are several ways for unincorporated areas like West Hill to annex to a city. 1) Residents can request consideration by the Council of the annexing city and a subsequent public vote through a ten-percent petition. 2) The Council of the potential annexing city can pass a resolution requesting a vote among residents of the proposed area of annexation. 3) Residents can request annexation without a public referendum by gathering signatures of landowners in the proposed area of incorporation, as long as the combined value of the property owned by the signatories'equals at least 60 percent of the total assessed value of the area. 4) Residents can request consideration by the Council of the annexing city without a public referendum by filing "an intention to commence annexation proceeding"signed by owners of 10% of the acreage of the area. If the city council accepts the initial annexation proposal, the initiating parties must circulate petition including signatures of the owners of a majority of the acreage of the area and a majority of the registered voters For the first and second approaches, once the process has been initiated, the remaining steps are the same. For both, the next step is to submit the resolution/petition to the county's Boundary Review Board. The review board will then hold a hearing where residents and a representative of the annexing city will have the opportunity to be heard. Following this hearing, the Board will approve, disapprove, or suggest a revision to the boundaries of the proposed annexation. If approved, a vote among area residents determines the ultimate success or failure of the proposed annexation. In contrast to two approaches outlined above, the third and fourth approaches to annexation do not ultimately require a public referendum. Under these alternatives, after initiators gather the required signatures, the question of annexation is taken up, first by the City Council, and then in a public hearing by the county's Boundary Review Board. If both bodies find in favor of the city annexing the area, annexation will move forward. BERK S S C E AT E S October 2005 21 WEST HILL GOVERNANCE ALTERNATIVES ASSESSMENT SUMMARY REPORT • As noted previously, Berk & Associates' charge in assisting the West Hill Task Force has been threefold: 1. Assist the Task Force in collecting information from West Hill residents and businesses about the governance issues they care about, and about their goals and desires for the future; 2. Assist the Task Force and the public in understanding what governance alternatives would really mean in terms of taxes, services, and the ways in which West Hill would relate to its provider of governmental services; and 3. Assist the Task Force in making connections between what West Hill residents and businesses want and what residents would be likely to get if the area were to pursue any of the four governance alternatives In the end, the Task Force has made a commitment to make a recommendation about the governance option that will best achieve West Hill's goals and desires. In light of this commitment, regarding annexation, the Task Force collected information from Seattle and Renton on: • Tax burden and costs of services; • Each city's approach to governance (how would the city approach the provision of particular services in West Hill if they were to annex the area?); and • Levels of service that each city has achieved for particular local services. TAXES AND COSTS OF SERVICE In 2005, a typical homeowner in West Hill will pay an estimated $4,260 in taxes and utility fees for stormwater, water and sewer, and garbage collection.3 Reflected in this figure are all taxes that are paid on a regular basis based on where a family lives.4 This figure excludes costs of electrical and natural gas services, since these services will not change with a change in governance. Regardless of what residents decide about local governance, West Hill will continue to receive its electrical service from Seattle City Light and natural gas service from Puget Sound Energy. If West Hill was part of Renton in 2005, the typical homeowner would potentially see a slight reduction in taxes and a significant reduction in the costs of utility services. Compared with the taxes and utility fees paid by residents currently, the homeowner would see total savings of $193 per year.5 3 For purposes of estimating costs,the typical homeowner is assumed to have a house valued at $225,000 (the median for houses in West Hill in 2005) and automobiles valued at $17,000 (using the Monorail valuation schedule, which tends to overstate the true value of vehicles). ° Residents pay other local taxes on a regular basis, such as retail sales tax and, indirectly, business & occupation taxes on goods and services purchased in the City of Seattle. However, those taxes are unlikely to change with a change in governance. 5 If West Hill were to incorporate or annex, by state law, the garbage collection contract would remain in force for a number of years. As a result, West Hill residents will not realize savings in garbage collection rates until the current franchise contract expires and a new contract is negotiated by the city. BERK & ASSOCIATES! October2005 22 WEST HILL GOVERNANCE ALTERNATIVES ASSESSMENT SUMMARY REPORT If West Hill was part of Seattle, the typical homeowner would pay significantly more in taxes— largely due to Monorail taxes, but would see lower costs of utility services. Combining the two effects, the net result would be an increase in costs of $281. (See the note below Table 9 for a discussion of uncertainty that exists around application of the Monorail tax.) Table 9: Taxes and Costs of Service for a Typical West Hill Homeowner Stay Annex to Annex to Unincorporated Seattle Renton Property Tax* $2,860 $2,710 $2,680 Utility Taxes $60 $288 $236 Cable Franchise Fee $24 $12 $24 Monorail Tax** -- $238 -- TOTAL $2,944 $3,248 $2,940 Difference vs. Increase Decrease Unincorporated $304 ($4) Service Costs Surface Water Fee $91 $122 $65 Water& Sewer Charges $901 $923 $901 Solid Waste Collection Charges $324 $248 $161 TOTAL $1,316 $1,293 $1,127 Difference vs. Unincorporated Decrease Decrease ($23) ($189) GRAND TOTAL $4,260 $4,541 $4,067 TOTAL COST DIFFERENCE Increase Decrease $281 ($193) *House assessed at$225,000 **Assumes total vehicle value of$17,000 Note: The City of Seattle reports that it is not clear whether the monorail tax would be extended to annexation areas upon annexation. The City has requested an Attorney General opinion on the issue, with the questions focusing on the state statute that enables the monorail taxing authority (the current statute does explicitly address the question of annexed areas). However, even if the Attorney General was to find that the monorail tax would not be applied to annexed areas under current law, the Seattle Monorail Project(SMP)could request clarifying language from the State Legislature authorizing extension of the tax. Given the funding hurdles that SMP faces, if the Monorail project goes forward, and if West Hill were to annex to Seattle, it would be reasonable to expect SMP to seek to extend its tax to West Hill. If the Monorail tax did not apply to annexed areas of Seattle, and the State Legislature did not add statutory language to make it apply, then the estimated cost for Seattle would go from a net increase of $281 to an increase of $43. BERK ASSOCIATES October2005 23 AMENlb. WEST HILL GOVERNANCE ALTERNATIVES ASSESSMENT SUMMARY REPORT Assuming the Monorail tax does apply, annexation to Renton would save the homeowner roughly $475 per year when compared with annexation to Seattle (again, based on 2005 rates). It is important to note that every household in West Hill is different. If a resident owns cars valued at $35,000 (as opposed to the $17,000 assumed for the typical homeowner), then the Monorail tax will more than double, approaching $500. If the value of a house is greater, then the property tax break associated with annexing to Renton or Seattle will be greater. If a homeowner's property values are lower, then the property tax break will also be smaller. How Might Tax and Cost Burdens Change Over Time If one uses recent history as a guide, West Hill residents could expect to see their taxes increase more slowly if they annex to Seattle or Renton than they would if the area remains unincorporated. From 2000 to 2005, a selected West Hill homeowner with a house valued at $225,000 (in 2005) saw her total property tax payment increase by 41%. An owner of an equivalent home in Renton saw her overall property tax payments increase by 33% and the equivalent homeowner in Seattle saw her payments increase by an even lower 22%. Business Taxes According to state law, counties are prohibited from imposing business taxes or business license fees while cities are not. The City of Seattle collects an annual business license fee ($45 or $90 per year, depending on the revenues of the business) and the City also collects Business & Occupation (B&O) taxes on the gross revenues of most businesses (0.415% on Services businesses and 0.215% on Retail and most other business categories). As an example, for a printing business with 20 employees and $1 million in annual sales, Seattle's business taxes and fees would amount to roughly $4,200. The business would also pay utility taxes (which would increase upon annexation to Seattle) and property taxes (which for a business that size might decrease by a few hundred dollars). The City of Renton does not levy a B&0 tax, but it does collect annual business license fees ($55 per employee per year). For the same printing business with 20 employees, this translates to $1,100 in business taxes per year—roughly a quarter of what the business would pay to if West Hill was part of Seattle. As was true with Seattle, the business would also pay more in utility taxes but save from reduced property taxes (a reduction of close to $500 if business property is valued at $600,000). Would Higher Business Taxes Harm West Hill's Prospects for Economic Development? Some argue that increasing tax burdens on private firms harms an area's ability to attract or retain businesses. Others argue that businesses are not particularly sensitive to tax burdens, and that instead, businesses base their location decisions on a wide range of characteristics of an area. Most of the available analysis of the issue supports the second argument—that most decisions about locating a business have more to do with the characteristics of the location and BERK & ASSOCIATES , October 2005 24 WEST HILL GOVERNANCE ALTERNATIVES ASSESSMENT SUMMARY REPORT not the tax burden. This is particularly true for retail, consumer services, and businesses that are typically found in neighborhood offices. For these types of businesses, the things they care about most are (1) being near their customers and (2) being in a location that is attractive and convenient to their customers. What About West Hill's Casinos? If West Hill were to annex to Renton, then West Hill's casinos would continue to operate and they would be taxed at current rates. If West Hill were to annex to Seattle, the outcome would not be certain; however, chances are good that the area's two casinos would have to close. Seattle city planners confirmed that existing casinos would technically become a non-conforming use in Seattle's zoning code. The State of Washington regulates and licenses gambling, and a city's role is limited to allowing or banning social card game rooms. Seattle has a moratorium on social card game rooms, extended multiple times over the past decade. Historically, a gambling enterprise would be allowed to stay and operate as a non-conforming use, and no new businesses of that type would be allowed to site in Seattle, and current uses would not be allowed to expand. Recent court cases concerning the status of card rooms in Kenmore and Edmonds will probably force all cities with moratoria to either ban or allow gambling in their cities. If West Hill annexed to Seattle and Seattle banned gambling, the current West Hill casinos would likely have their annual licenses revoked when the State Gambling Commission reviewed them for renewal. APPROACH TO SERVICE PROVISION If West Hill were to annex to Renton or Seattle, local services that are now provided by King County departments would be provided by Renton or Seattle, respectively. Some services, including schools and transit services, are unaffected by changes in local governance. No matter what choice West Hill residents make about governance, West Hill will remain part of Renton School District, and West Hill will continue to receive transit services from existing Metro Transit. Other special districts that serve West Hill include Fire District 20, the King County Library District, and the Skyway Water & Sewer District. Among these special districts, both library and fire service would change with annexation to either city. Upon annexation, either Renton or Seattle would take on provision of fire and library services. In terms of water and sewer service, annexation to Seattle would mean that Seattle would take on provision of those services, but if the area annexed to Renton, Skyway Water & Sewer would remain intact and would continue to provide services to West Hill (see Table 10).

The West Hill Task Force and Berk & Associates worked with King County, the cities of Renton and Seattle, and the special service districts in West Hill to collect as much information as possible about: • How the different jurisdictions approached service delivery in West Hill; • What services the jurisdictions provide; • The costs and the level of investment service providers are making in West Hill or their existing service area; and • Plans for future capital investments. Tables providing a detailed summary of information provided by service providers are included in the appendix to this report. The following sections focus on key measures of levels of service, levels of resource commitment, and key issues surrounding how services will be provided. Three key services that West Hill consumes (or would like to consume) include Police, Parks and Recreation, and Economic Development. In West Hill, on these three services combined, King County spends roughly $240 per resident per year. This is slightly more than half of the $440 per resident that Renton spends on the same services, and less than half of the $510 spent by Seattle. Of course, just because Seattle and Renton invest more in providing services to current residents does not automatically mean that West Hill's annexation would translate into the same levels of service being provided in West Hill. A comparison of expenditures does, however, give readers a feeling for the City's overall priorities. BERK ASSOCIATES ! October2005 26 wow ' WEST HILL GOVERNANCE ALTERNATIVES ASSESSMENT SUMMARY REPORT Key Level of Service Issues Relationship to City A Neighborhood in Seattle As part of the City of Seattle, the neighborhood of West Hill would comprise roughly 2% of the City's population of nearly 600,000. West Hill residents would be constituents in the dominant city in Washington State and a large portion of the Northwestern United States. West Hill is between nine and ten miles southeast of downtown Seattle, which would make it the furthest neighborhood from Downtown. Given Seattle's large population, the addition of West Hill would do little to change the City's center of gravity for population, which lies north of downtown in the South Lake Union neighborhood. On the other hand, as a part of the state's largest city, West Hill would have the advantage being a part of a city with substantial resources—where it would compete with 38 other city neighborhoods for neighborhood resource allocations. As a geographically dispersed city, a number of Seattle's outlying neighborhoods fall within the orbit of adjacent cities. With its proximity to Renton, West Hill would be one such neighborhood. West Hill would continue to be part of the Renton School District, and many West Hill residents would continue to shop and play in Renton. A Neighborhood in Renton If West Hill were part of the City of Renton, the neighborhood of West Hill would represent 20% of Renton's entire population. With a city population of roughly 70,000 (2005), the new, larger City of Renton would jump from the 14th most populous city in the state to the 12th. If West Hill became part of the city, Renton's center of gravity (for population) would shift about a half mile to the northwest. Renton's current center of gravity lies in a residential neighborhood to the east of 1-405 (roughly at the intersection of NE 4th and Edmonds Avenue NE). With a neighborhood of West Hill, the center would shift to the west of 1-405, to the city's commercial center (the PACCAR plant). In effect, annexation of West Hill would more closely align Renton's city boundaries with the practical boundaries that describe how Renton functions as a place. As a neighborhood in Renton, West Hill would strengthen already well-established connections with the City. Most of West Hill is part of the Renton School District, and according to information provided by participants in neighborhood forums, many of West Hill's residents already shop and play in Renton on a regular basis. Fire Protection If West Hill annexes to Seattle or Renton, the Seattle or Renton fire departments will take over provision of fire and emergency medical services (EMS) in West Hill. Facilities, equipment, and full time fire district staff would be absorbed into Seattle or Renton's department. Unlike Seattle or Renton, Fire District 20 augments its full time staff with part time volunteer staff. These volunteer staff would probably not be absorbed into the Renton or Seattle departments. BERK : ASSOCIATES October2005 27 Adorimior WEST HILL GOVERNANCE ALTERNATIVES ASSESSMENT SUMMARY REPORT • Fire District 20 has two fire stations: Skyway Fire Station, the one station that is manned 24 hours a day, and Bryn Mawr Station near Lake Washington. Bryn Mawr Station is old (built in 1942 and never upgraded), is only staffed in the evening by volunteers, and is viewed by both Seattle and Renton as unnecessary for effective provision of fire and EMS services. Both Seattle and Renton would be likely to close Bryn Mawr Station if they were to annex the area, concentrating instead on providing fire and EMS service to the West Hill area from larger and more modern Skyway Station. Given that both Seattle and Renton would provide fire services to West Hill out of the existing Skyway Station, it is unlikely that West Hill residents would see a dramatic difference in response times if the area were to annex to either city. Closure of the Bryn Mawr Station by Seattle or Renton would mean that responses would no longer originate out of that station (in the evening when it is staffed), which would result in slightly longer travel times for calls in portions of Bryn Mawr during evening hours. It is worth noting, however, that the Bryn Mawr and Skyway stations are less than a mile apart, and no part of Bryn Mawr is more than a mile and a half from the Skyway Station. With only one station in West Hill, Seattle and Renton would both need to draw from their existing systems to respond to simultaneous events. Seattle does not enter mutual aid agreements with neighboring departments; therefore, in terms of bringing backup to West Hill, Seattle would be limited to looking to stations to the northwest. Renton does have mutual aid agreements in place with neighboring departments, and would be in a somewhat better position to access backup. Library Services West Hill currently receives its library services from the King County Library System (KCLS), a district which operates a 5,100 square foot library in Skyway. Skyway's existing library was built in 1970, and as part of KCLS's recently approved capital bond, the district has plans to build a new 8,000 square foot library in Skyway, with construction beginning in 2011. If West Hill were to annex to Seattle or Renton, the annexing city would take over provision of library services in the area. Renton currently has two city libraries and indicates that they would take over operation of the Skyway library, increasing the number of City libraries to three. In terms of operating expenditures, Renton spends significantly less per resident providing library services than does KCLS or Seattle ($22 per resident for Renton versus $62 per resident for Seattle and KCLS). The City of Seattle has an extensive library system, with the newly constructed Seattle Central Library and 27 neighborhood branches. Seattle Libraries is in the midst of an aggressive capital program, funded through its Libraries for All capital levy. Seattle Libraries has indicated that they would be likely to close the West Hill library and seek to provide library services to West Hill through the system's other branches (the nearest being the Rainier Beach Branch). King County Library System voters recently approved a library capital bond levy. For 2006 through 2011, the new KCLS bond levy will be combined with the 1988 bond levy (which will expire in 2011). Even if West Hill annexes to Seattle or Renton and are no longer in the Library R K & ASSOCIATES ' October 2005 28 Now, New, • WEST HILL GOVERNANCE ALTERNATIVES ASSESSMENT SUMMARY REPORT District, taxpayers in West Hill must continue paying property taxes for the bond levy through 2022. In 2005, the total levy paid by taxpayers in the Library District is $0.53 per $1,000 of assessed value. Of that total, $0.48 comes from the operating levy, while the remaining $0.05 goes to paying off the 1988 capital bond. If West Hill was part of Seattle or Renton in 2005, taxpayers would no longer pay the $0.48 per $1,000 for the District's regular operating levy, but they would still pay the $0.05 per $1,000 for the bond levy ($11.25 for a $225,000 house). In 2006, when the new bond levy gets added to the mix, the bond levy component will increase to about $0.08. If West Hill annexes to Seattle or Renton, and thus leaves the Library District, KCLS will not be required, by law, to build the Skyway Library that is now slated to begin construction in 2011. Since Renton has stated that they would want to provide library services in West Hill (if the City annexed the area), the City indicates that they would try to negotiate an agreement with KCLS to get the new library built.6 Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Both Renton and Seattle spend a great deal more providing parks, recreation, and community services than does King County. King County reports that it currently spends less than $5 per resident on parks and recreation services in West Hill, while Renton reports that it spends $126 and Seattle reports expenditures of $184 per resident. Annexation to either city would result in a substantial increase in those services. For the foreseeable future, it is unlikely that either Seattle or Renton would build new parks in West Hill, but upon folding Skyway and Bryn Mawr parks into their system, both cities would probably increase the level of maintenance of the parks and extend their existing recreation programs to the West Hill. Staff at the City of Renton say that the City would make use of all of West Hill's elementary schools to host a full slate of youth programs and community services activities. Police Services Both Seattle and Renton spend more per resident providing police services for their existing cities than does the King County Sheriff in West Hill. In terms of results, Renton provides the fastest response times for highest priority calls, responding in an average of 2.9 minutes. This compares favorably with response times of 3.8 minutes reported by the KC Sheriff and 7 minute average response reported by Seattle. In terms of logistics, the Sheriff's Office currently polices West Hill out of a station located in the City of Burien. If Seattle were to police the area out of its South Precinct on Myrtle Street, the station would be slightly more proximate to West Hill. Of the three, Renton's police station in downtown Renton would be closest. 6 Renton staff suggest that a negotiated agreement might entail a transfer of capital funds to Renton for construction of the library. : BERK & ASSOCIATES = October 2005 29 togs, *10 WEST HILL GOVERNANCE ALTERNATIVES ASSESSMENT SUMMARY REPORT Community and Economic Development • West Hill's retail corridor along Renton Avenue has many vacant storefronts and is not heavily developed. Many residents would prefer to shop in West Hill, but due to a lack of options, most residents shop for convenience items in Renton. Residents would like to improve the image of their retail corridor, to attract additional retail, arts and cultural amenities to the neighborhood. Many community members are already active in their pursuit of economic development that provides more local employment opportunities, informal community gathering places, and options to shop locally for everyday needs. When looking at prospects for annexation, the question is: What City resources would be available to support existing community efforts? Seattle's Approach Seattle's Department of Neighborhoods works through the following mechanisms and programs to engage Seattle residents in civic participation, strengthen neighborhood communities, and empower citizens to affect positive change in their neighborhoods. • Seattle's Neighborhood Matching Fund provides money to Seattle neighborhood groups and organizations for a broad array of neighborhood-initiated improvement, organizing or planning projects. Matching funds are available for small projects as well as projects requiring more than $15,000. • The City's Neighborhood Service Centers link City government to Seattle's neighborhoods. The Centers facilitate community networks, assist with neighborhood improvements, make referrals to local human services, and serve as staff to District Councils. • Seattle's P-Patch Program provides community garden space in over 1,900 plots for residents of Seattle neighborhoods. • The Office of Economic Development's (OED) mission is to provide business assistance and community and workforce development services to businesses, community organizations and residents. OED funds the following major programs to achieve its goals. o Neighborhood and Community Development Programs. OED provides Neighborhood Business District support to Business Improvement Areas, neighborhood associations and Chambers of Commerce. In addition, OED supports Community Development Corporations like Southeast Effective Development (SEED) to help revitalize neighborhoods through community development and real estate development projects. o Business Development Programs. OED works with several entities to ensure business-friendly City policies: Community Capital (which provides technical and financial assistance to small businesses and microenterprises); the Environmental Extension Service (which provides conservation, pollution prevention and environmental clean-up assistance to businesses); and the Seattle/King County BE RK & ASSOCIATES ; October2005 30 • WEST HILL GOVERNANCE ALTERNATIVES ASSESSMENT SUMMARY REPORT Economic Development Council (which works to recruit and retain businesses in the region). o Workforce Development Programs. The Seattle Jobs Initiative (SJI) partners community-based organizations with community colleges and employers in recruiting, training, placing and retaining low-income residents in living-wage jobs. Renton's Approach Renton takes an integrated approach to community and economic development through its Economic Development, Neighborhoods, and Strategic Planning Department (EDNSP). In recent years Renton has been garnered a great deal of regional attention for its successful efforts to revitalize the City's Downtown district. Renton's Neighborhood Program promotes positive interaction between the City and its residents by administering Neighborhood Grants and sponsoring Neighborhood Picnics. The program is staffed by a team of City employees who serve as volunteer liaisons. • The Neighborhood Grant program provides matching funds for a range of neighborhood improvement projects. $50,000 is available for grants annually and individual grants range from less than $100 to several thousand dollars. Typical projects include neighborhood beautification projects (landscaping, signage, public art), safety improvement projects (traffic circles, lighting), and reimbursement for neighborhood newsletters. • Neighborhood Picnics. Once a year, recognized neighborhoods can apply for matching funds from the City for an annual picnic. The picnics bring neighborhoods together, strengthen community bonds, and give residents the chance to meet the Mayor and City Council in a relaxed atmosphere. Renton's Strategic Planning Division provides long-range land-use planning for the City, including developing, managing and implementing the City's comprehensive plan, growth management compliance, and sub-area plan development. The Strategic Planning Division also formulates zoning and development standards and processes annexation proposals. The Economic Development Division works in concert with the business community to actively promote and develop economic activity in the City with the goal of strengthening Renton's tax base and providing an even greater variety of job opportunities, housing, and services. BERK & ASSOCIATES; October 2005 31 WEST HILL GOVERNANCE ALTERNATIVES ASSESSMENT SUMMARY REPORT WEST HILL GOVERNANCE ALTERNATIVES ASSESSMENT SUMMARY REPORT Remain Unincorporated If West Hill chooses to remain unincorporated, area residents and businesses would see no change in the providers of governmental service. West Hill would continue to receive the majority of local services from King County. Fire services will continue to be provided by Fire District 20. Library services will continue to be provided by the King County Library System. And water and sewer services will continue to be provided by Skyway Water & Sewer District (for the portion of West Hill that receives sewer service). TAXES AND COSTS OF SERVICE As noted in the section discussing Annexation, in 2005, a typical homeowner in West Hill will pay an estimated $4,260 in taxes and utility fees for stormwater, water and sewer, and garbage collection (see Table 9).7 Taxes included in this figure reflect all taxes that are paid on a regular basis based on where a family lives.8 As a resident of unincorporated King County, this hypothetical homeowner pays $193 more than she would if she were part of the City of Renton, but a $281 less than she would as part of the City of Seattle. Given King County's challenges regarding its General Fund (see following section for more discussion), it is likely that the King and other counties will continue to seek additional taxing authority from the State Legislature in an effort to raise additional revenues in unincorporated areas. If counties are successful in establishing additional taxing authority, it is likely that tax burdens in unincorporated King County will increase further. As an example, if counties were given authority to levy utility taxes in unincorporated areas (an authority cities already have within incorporated areas) then King County could implement utility taxes that could raise costs for the hypothetical homeowner by $100 to $200 per year. Another area where unincorporated area costs could increase comes from solid waste collection. Rates for garbage collection in unincorporated areas are relatively high compared to rates for comparable service in most cities. Presumably, one of the reasons for higher collection rates in the unincorporated county is the higher cost of collecting garbage in relatively low-density areas. Looking forward, as urban areas of King County continue to transition to incorporated status, this problem could be expected to worsen. In future years, when garbage collectors negotiate rates for collection in the unincorporated area, an increasing portion of their service areas will be very low density areas with high costs of collection. ' For purposes of estimating costs, the typical homeowner is assumed to have a house valued at $225,000 (the median for houses in West Hill in 2005) and automobiles valued at $17,000 (using the Monorail valuation schedule, which tends to overstate the true value of vehicles). Residents pay other local taxes on a regular basis, such as retail sales tax and, indirectly, business & occupation taxes on goods and services purchased in the City of Seattle. However, those taxes are unlikely to change with a change in governance. BERK ASSOCIATES October 2005 33 titO *Of • WEST HILL GOVERNANCE ALTERNATIVES ASSESSMENT SUMMARY REPORT LEVELS OF SERVICE As a small part of a very large county, West Hill residents can expect to have limited ability to influence governmental decisions that affect most local services. In a given year, King County decisionmakers take many actions that directly or indirectly impact local services in West Hill, including Police, Parks & Recreation, Roads, Land Use & Planning, Stormwater, Human Services and Community Development. As residents of an area that represents less than 1% of the voting population in the county, West Hill residents face barriers when it comes to affecting decisions that directly impact their community. On the other hand, if West Hill were to remain unincorporated, residents would maintain a great share of local control over fire and water & sewer services. Both Fire District 20 and the Skyway Water & Sewer District have district boundaries that closely coincide with West Hill's boundaries. This means that West Hill residents and businesses make up virtually 100% of the each district's constituency. (Under annexation to Renton, Renton would leave the Skyway Water & Sewer district in place, which would maintain West Hill's local control of that service.) In addition to the political challenges of being a small community in a big county, West Hill will also be impacted by King County's proposed redistricting plan. Under new district boundaries, West Hill will switch from being at the center of a single district (representing 10% of the district's population base) to portions of West Hill being a small edge of three different districts. WHAT SHOULD WEST HILL RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES EXPECT TO HAPPEN TO SERVICE LEVELS IF THE AREA REMAINS UNINCORPORATED? The short answer is that, unless King County gets authority to increase taxes in unincorporated areas, services that are provided out of King County's general fund will all be under pressure to reduce expenditures in urban unincorporated areas like West Hill for years to come. (This includes Sheriff, Parks, Land Use & Planning, and Economic Development.) Like all County residents, West Hill residents receive public services from King County that are regional in nature, including most criminal justice, public health, sewage treatment, transit, emergency medical, mental health, and assessor services. Most are mandated by state law or are a service obligation approved by County voters. Given the combination for demands for County services and limited authority to generate general fund revenue, resources that are available for provision of local services are limited. King County's general fund is where most of the revenues are collected by the county to pay for day-to-day operations. From 2002 to 2005, King County expects that general fund revenues will have increased at a rate of 2.7% per year. At the same time, the basic costs of providing services have increased at more than twice that rate. The County estimates that, in order to maintain 2002 staffing levels and levels of service in 2005, King County would have needed an additional $137 million in general fund revenues in 2005 (25% more than the County actually received). Without an increase in tax rates, the County's structural deficit will continue to erode its effective resources. This means that, for the foreseeable future, the County will have to make difficult ! B E R K & ASSOCIATES! October 2005 34 \.. WEST HILL GOVERNANCE ALTERNATIVES ASSESSMENT • SUMMARY REPORT choices when it comes to the provision of local government services. The County is in a position where it must first fund state-mandated services (criminal justice and public health) and regional services (sewer and courts) before it provides local services (such as parks, human services, and police services). It is difficult to say which services may be cut or reduced in unincorporated areas as available revenues continue to decline. Those decisions must be made each year through the County's budget adoption process. However, until the County is able to fully address its structural deficit, the County will be forced to make cuts across all of its service areas, including services to local urban unincorporated areas such as West Hill. What Is King County's Annexation Initiative? The Growth Management Act, King County Countywide Planning Policies, and the King County Comprehensive Plan encourage all unincorporated areas within King County's Urban Growth Boundary to pursue incorporated status through either annexation or incorporation. State law (RCW 36.70A.110) provides the underlying rationale for these policies: "In general, cities are the local government most appropriate to provide urban governmental services." In response to the direction of the Growth Management Act (GMA), in the early 1990s, King County and the suburban cities worked together to develop a framework of policies intended to guide jurisdictions as they planned for the future. These policies, referred to as the Countywide Planning Policies, are King County and the suburban cities' interjurisdictional plan for implementing the goals of the Growth Management Act. As directed by the GMA, these Countywide Planning Policies explicitly address the status of unincorporated urban areas. Among other things, the policies call for: • Elimination of unincorporated urban islands between cities. • The adoption by each city of a Potential Annexation Area, in consultation with residential groups in the affected area. • The annexation or incorporation of all unincorporated areas within the urban growth boundary within a 20-year timeframe (1993 — 2013). In urban unincorporated King County, there are currently 10 large areas (including West Hill, Fairwood, North Highline and Juanita) that have yet to be annexed to a city or incorporate into a new city. There are now about 218,000 residents in these urban areas for whom King County currently provides local services. In 2003, the Executive's Budget Advisory Task Force suggested that annexation of the remaining urban unincorporated areas not only helps accomplish the region's land use vision but it also "may be the single most important step the County can take to address its fiscal challenges." From this the Executive established the 3-year Annexation Initiative. The Annexation Initiative is meant to serve as encouragement for potential annexing cities and for unincorporated areas, through funding and other resources, to discuss and plan changes in governance to incorporated status. The Initiative is intended to be a positive step toward assisting communities to determine their own future. !

" Renton probably already provides Parks & Recreation Services to nearby West Hill 4 4 residents.

If West Hill is annexed, RFD will not retain the 54 FD 20 volunteers. • Stations. FD 20's two stations would become the property of RFD. The Skyway station would likely be kept in service, but the older Bryn Mawr station near Lake Washington would probably not be : necessary within Renton's response area, and would be closed. y� Now: King County • Park Space.

Renton residents pay smaller fees than non-residents to access Renton Parks&Community Services various programs which include a pool, golf course, organized athletics, and more. p. • Renton provides over$1 million in general fund and Community Development Block Grant funding for human services (for seniors, at-risk youth, and the homeless). Now: King County • Renton Libraries. Renton has two library branches: Downtown Renton and the Highlands. Rentong Library System has lower collection, circulation, operating costs per capita, reflecting its much smaller size. • KCLS Library Levy. King County Library System voters recently approved a library levy that will fund 'With Renton: a new West Hill library in 2011. West Hill residents must continue paying property taxes for the Renton Parks& levy through 2022, even if the area annexes. Community Services • Possible Futures for the Skyway Library. By law, KCLS is not required to build the new library if West Hill annexes to Renton.

In recent years Renton has been garnered a great deal , , _,;, 4 of regional attention for its successful efforts to revitalize the City's Downtown district. V. Renton's Neighborhood Program promotes positive interaction between the City and its residents by administering -12 Neighborhood Grants and sponsoring Neighborhood Picnics. The program is staffed by a team of City employees who serve as volunteer liaisons. .va a""�' �3 d z`4 o The Neighborhood Grant program provides matching funds for a range of ' ss neighborhood improvement projects. $50,000 is available for grants annually . ; ,. and individual grants range from less than $100 to several thousand dollars. Pi Typical projects include neighborhood beautification projects (landscaping, , i• ;.SOOT : r signage, publicart), safety improvement projects circles, lighting), and f '(traffic 1 reimbursement for neighborhood newsletters. ,:: o Neighborhood Picnics. Once a year, recognized neighborhoods can apply for matching funds from the City for an annual picnic. The picnics bring r.. neighborhoods together, strengthen community bonds, and give residents the chance u to meet the Mayor and City Council in a relaxed atmosphere. 4. Renton's Strategic Planning Division provides long-range land-use planning for the City,including developing, managing and implementing the City's comprehensive plan,growth management compliance,and sub-area plan development. The Strategic Planning Division also formulates zoning and development standards and processes annexation proposals. Pa The Economic Development Division works in concert with the business community to actively promote and develop economic activity in the City with the goal of strengthening Renton's tax base and providing an , - za . , even greater variety of job opportunities, housing, and services. r-, ,'k ' ?&,. r s" , If the West Hill neighborhood wanted to take steps to revitalize its commercial corridor, $ ; ' ^ ', proponents would first approach the Neighborhood Program and take advantage of ' 1, }§ possible Neighborhood Grants.

':i In the past dozen years, six new cities have incorporated in King County. Compared with these six cities, an incorporated 0 City of West Hill would face substantial financial hurdles. 4J A city's general fund accounts for most of the revenues a city collects and most of the day-to-day operating expenditures O ' a city incurs. The single largest general fund expenditure most cities face is for law enforcement services (including expenditures for police, jail, and courts). One quick way to judge a city's fiscal strength is to compare its general fund revenues per capita with those of other cities. For a more robust comparison, analysts will often look at the difference - between cities' general fund revenues and their law enforcement expenditures. ?' In the case of West Hill, such a comparison highlights the financial barriers the area would face if it were to pursue incorporation. If West Hill had been an operating city in 2005, it would have generated general fund revenues of , roughly$4.7 million(or$340 per resident). At the same time, in order to maintain existing levels of law enforcement, the City would have had to spend roughly $3.5 million (or $250 per resident) on law enforcement alone.

In fact,the feasibility assessment assumes that a new City of West Hill would contract directly with King County to continue providing certain services, including g police, roads, and surface water services. ,�; To say that incorporation is not feasible also means that the proposed City would be unable to provide even the levels of local services that exist in the area today. 4 . _ ir& n � - xc , l : ` `l` ma , - ? t 4 a .'5 " g> g { ' '� : 3F 2' yyf th•«: ovet # 'lxA fit u'§ mR kk, ' c :`5Q: ". .fix,. � MOW , ,44,-..,,.„,,,A,1,!, y � 1: +; v z. ,?, F �. .: �'a,- ,� ,` x:--� „cy f .`-ram e r �`.� .''� . R ' Would a City Have for r F; � t` .` Venues ar decreasing Costs? , The options are limited. In recent years, a series of statewide initiatives have eroded most cities' financial support from taxes and fees. From a - city's perspective, the most damaging blows resulted from statewide passage of three initiatives: I-695 (ending collection of the State's motor vehicle excise tax); 1-747 (limiting the growth of property tax levies on a city's existing property to 6 .x less than the rate of inflation); and 1-776 (ending the collection of vehicle license fees). Combined, these initiatives have 4.41,4 resulted in the immediate reduction of millions of dollars of city revenues, and have set up the long-run erosion of cities' kn•� property tax bases. ; ��•' t & I x ?R lse as Yes,a City of West Hill could increase tax rates and generate additional revenues. Beyond the taxes included in the baseline ,may estimate, the City of West Hill would have authority to levy utility taxes of 6%on utilities including telephone, natural gas, water & sewer, storm drainage, solid waste, and cable television service. (Utility taxes beyond 6% are possible with a public vote.) The City would also have the authority to levy business taxes and/or business license fees. Almost all West Hill residents receive their electrical service from Seattle City Light. The City of Seattle already collects ::::: ;: a 6% utility tax on that electrical service, which accrues to the City of Seattle. If West Hill became a city (or if the area `''; annexed to Renton) then it is possible that the City of Seattle would agree to share a portion of those revenues. The preceding revenue estimate assumes that Seattle would agree to a 50/50 split of electrical utility tax revenues generated ,, in West Hill. z , In total, if the City were to raise taxes to the maximum allowed without a public vote, one might expect the City to increase tax revenues by as much as$600,000 to $800,000. ` ' . , fi � es kLevels f Service?� The expenditures included in the baseline feasibility assessment were designed to reflect what it would cost a City of West Hill to maintain existing levels of local services. The principal day-to-day costs of the City would stem from: . o Law enforcement services (police, courts, and legal services): $3.5 million o General government/City Hall (public works, community development, parks, administration): $1.5 million p o Roads maintenance: $610,000 '''., Among the three, roads maintenance and City Hall expenditures probably offer a few, limited opportunities for cost savings. 4 Estimated City Hall expenditures include an assumption that 15 full-time employees would staff City Hall. This is a low number compared to many cities comparable in size to West Hill. However, poorer cities across the State do maintain even leaner staffing levels in City Hall. In regard to road maintenance expenditures, the reality is that reductions in maintenance activities are unlikely to offer long-run savings. The nature of road maintenance is such that reducing maintenance short results in even more costly .•. ' repairs in the future. : The greatest opportunity for cost savings would stem from reductions in police services. This possibility raises two ;. .• questions: o How much appetite would West Hill residents have for reductions in police service? r o How feasible would it be to reduce patrol staffing in the City if that meant lowering community safety for , 1 ,1 residents and officers?

Are casinos allowed in... • King County? Yes • Renton? Yes • New city? That depends on the future decisions of a government running the city. • Seattle? Seattle ordinances state that social card games are not allowed, but Seattle does,allow punch cards and other minor types of gambling, which are taxed. • If West Hill were annexed by Seattle, would current casinos be grandfathered in? City planners confirmed that existing casinos would technically become a non-conforming use in Seattle's zoning code. The State of Washington regulates and licenses gambling, and a city's role is limited to allowing or banning social card game rooms. Seattle has a moratorium on social card game rooms, extended multiple times over the past decade. Historically, a gambling enterprise would be allowed to stay and operate as a non- conforming use, and no new businesses of that type would be allowed to site in Seattle, and current uses would not be allowed to expand. Recent court cases concerning the status of card rooms in Kenmore and Edmonds will likely, soon, force all cities with moratoria to either ban or allow gambling in their cities. If West Hill annexed to Seattle and Seattle banned gambling, the current West Hill casinos would likely have their annual licenses revoked when the State Gambling Commission reviewed them for renewal.

Community and Economic Development • How can we improve our community image? • What would attract businesses to the corridor? • What are economic development efforts that we could undertake? • What grants are available? A. Please see governance profiles for more information about how Seattle, Renton and King County each approach economic development. The public sector has a relatively limited role in the economic development of communities. Most drivers of the economy rely on the actions of private businesses. Cities and counties are financial partners in economic development and can invest public funds in a limited manner to promote industrial and commercial growth, through infrastructure improvements and/or increasing the industrial and commercial property development through zoning. Economic development is carried out through partnership agreements of state, local governments, small business development centers, port districts, community and technical colleges, private industry councils, and other development organizations. Recently an economic development element of local comprehensive planning became required (previously it was optional), meaning that cities and counties now spend more focus on economic development. Cities are relatively are well-positioned to address economic development issues, with more organizational and funding mechanisms and leverage than unincorporated areas. Listed below are state laws and local government tools to spur economic development. Whatever governance option West Hill residents may choose, different options will be available. The associate development organization (ADO) is defined in RCW 43.330.010 and is the lead economic development agency in each county. In King County, that organization is formerly known as the economic development council of Seattle-King County, and now known as enterpriseSeattle (see www.edc-sea.org). King County's economic development efforts are primarily in business development, to retain, expand, create and recruit businesses within industry clusters that are core to the region's economic base and offer the greatest potential for growth. See www.rnetrokc.gov/exec/bred/business/business.htm. In partnership with cities, generally, chambers of commerce are the leaders of business attraction efforts. Parking and business improvement areas (PBIAs) aid general economic development and facilitate merchant and business cooperation by establishing a special assessment district. Chapter 35.87A RCW Community Renewal Areas (Ch. 35.81 RCW) improve the ability of cities, towns, and counties to implement economic development projects in blighted areas. The law provides a limited form of tax increment financing, allowing a city to pledge excess local excise taxes generated by business activity within the boundaries of the community renewal area to pay for bonds issued to finance public improvements in that area. Downtown and Neighborhood Commercial Districts (Ch. 35.100 RCW) allow cities over 100,000 population to designate certain areas as "downtown" or "neighborhood commercial districts," to undertake certain kinds of revitalization activities, measure the increase in its local sales tax West Hill Governance Task Force Page 2 May 2005 FAQs www.westhillcommunity.com Prepared by Berk&Associates revenue in the areas, and spend that increase on revitalization costs, debt service on bonds issued for projects in these districts. Seattle's Department of Planning and Development has a Downtown Business District program underway. Industrial Redevelopment Bonds (Ch. 39.84 RCW) can be issued through city or county ordinances creating public corporations "for the purpose of facilitating economic development and employment opportunities in the state of Washington through the financing of the project costs of industrial development facilities" separate from the municipality that created them. The definition of "industrial development facilities" is quite broad, and even includes public sports facilities and parking facilities. Seattle has an active Seattle Industrial Development Corporation authorized by Seattle Municipal Code Chapter 3.116 Industrial Development Corporation, and King County Economic Enterprise Corporation, King County Code. Section 2.32.210 is permitted but not active. Source: Municipal Research and Services Council. See http:t/www.mrsc.org/Subjects/Econ/ed- tech.aspx for links to technical assistance sources for economic development. Q. Community Identity: If the area is annexed to Seattle or Renton, will West Hill be a part of another neighborhood or will it be a neighborhood with its own identity? What kind of influence would West Hill residents have on public decisions? A. The answer to this question depends on residents' engagement and the approach and receptivity of each local government to public involvement. A perception exists that residents would have the most control and influence over public decisions as a city of 14,000 residents run by a city council of their own choosing, which is supported by the experience of other newly incorporated cities. If annexed, West Hill's place in Seattle or Renton might look like: • Seattle: If West Hill became part of Seattle, West Hill neighborhoods would be a part of the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods' Southeast District. That district includes all neighborhoods south of 1-90 to the city limits and east of 1-5. West Hill would probably not become a part of the Rainier Beach neighborhood for neighborhood planning purposes, but would be identified by its historical name (such as Skyway and Bryn Mawr). The Southeast District is one of 13 serving on Seattle's City Neighborhood Council (CNC), a citizen-led advisory group, to provide city-wide coordination for the Neighborhood Matching Fund, Neighborhood Budget Prioritization, and Neighborhood Planning programs. West Hill neighborhoods would have access to these programs if annexed. • Renton: Has 23 officially recognized neighborhoods. West Hill would be able to apply and follow an established process to create a neighborhood association. The City supports the neighborhoods through two programs (Neighborhood Picnic and Neighborhood Grant). Q. How could water, sewer, sidewalks, and streetlights be extended into my neighborhood if West Hill annexed to a city? A. It depends on the type of improvement and how much capital investment is needed. West Hill Governance Task Force Page 3 May 2005 FAQs www.westhillcommunity.com Prepared by Berk&Associates 411111111111, • It is very rare for a city to make major capital investments of any kind in a newly annexed area all at once. It is more likely that over time, through the annual budget and 6-year capital improvement program (CIP), that a city would plan and save to set aside funds, or issue debt to build and maintain sidewalks and paths or utility system improvements would be made through rate increases. A financing tool that can be used to pay for capital improvements is the creation of a Local Improvement District (LID). Both cities and counties can create LIDs. Neighbors who gather and petition a city or utility district to extend utilities or sidewalk/street improvements form a special assessment district to finance and pay for needed capital improvements. Assessments are paid by "benefitted properties," which receive direct benefit from the improvements (essentially a specific group of neighbors elects to receive the benefits of an improvement to their property). LID creation leads to the sale of bonds to investors and the retirement of those bonds through annual payments of the property owners. LIDs have two goals: assess property owners fairly in relation to the special benefit they will receive, and offer an attractive bond portfolio to investors. State law says that the cost or assessment per parcel cannot be more than the benefit of the improvement to that parcel. For example if the appraised value of a sewer system, would only increase a property's value by $1,500, then only an assessment up to $1,500 on that property would be considered in forming an LID. LIDs can be formed by initiation by a city council, or by petition by property owners to initiate an LID. The city must gauge citizen support; hold informational meetings; advertise the formation of the district; allow for protest periods and options for deferral for low-income and senior citizens; and ultimately, approve the LID creation through city ordinance. A Utility LID (ULID) is similar to an LID for a utility improvement such as water or sewer projects. The difference between ULIDs and LIDs is that, in addition to the assessments on the benefitting properties, utility revenues are also pledged to the repayment of the ULID debt. Source: Municipal Research Services Council and Skyway Water and Sewer District Q. What was the recent experience of other cities with incorporation? Covington. The City of Covington incorporated in 1997. The population at incorporation was 12,500, and is currently 15,190 (approximately 22% growth). • The city incorporated because: (1) City of Kent was steadily annexing and residents did not identify closely with Kent; (2) residents were frustrated by recent commercial developments permitted by King County; and (3) residents wanted more control over commercial and residential development in the area. The incorporation was approved with an overwhelming vote; however, immediately thereafter the new city had to deal with two moratoriums: Covington Water District imposed a moratorium on new connections and was not issuing new certificates of water availability, and the City Council imposed a moratorium on development until the zoning codes were refined. • After the moratoriums were lifted, commercial and residential development within the city limits exploded. Most of the growth in population came from new residential development (1,042 new residential units built since incorporation through 2004, representing 25% increase), but significant West Hill Governance Task Force Page 4 May 2005 FAQs www.westhillcommunity.com Prepared by Berk&Associates commercial development also occurred (new retail, office buildings, apartments, Walgreen, Wal- Mart, and a proposed new Costco). • Covington still contracts with King County for most services, including police and street maintenance. • Number of City Hall staff increased from approximately 6 at incorporation to about 28 current full time positions today. • Most important lesson learned: newly incorporated cities should pass the usual "set" of allowed property taxes at incorporation, in order for funding to remain adequate in the future. Covington had enough revenues from the development boom in the area and did not impose a utility tax. However, when the development subsided, the revenues diminished as well. The city passed an ordinance instituting a 3.5% utility tax, however, the citizens collected signatures on petitions opposing the tax and requiring the issue to be placed on the ballot. Utility tax collection has been suspended pending the outcome of an election on May 17, 2005, which could result in the loss of potential revenue for the city. Source: Covington website and City Attorney Kenmore. Incorporated 1998, incorporation committee formed in 1995 • Population in 1998 was 16,874 ; population today 19,170 (14% growth) • Key issues driving incorporation were better municipal services, more local control over zoning including control over adult entertainment, improved municipal services, perceived threat of annexation by Bothell, Lake Forest Park or Kirkland • Kenmore is a mostly residential community; King County Annual Growth report shows 383 businesses and 4,280 jobs • In 1998, Kenmore contracted with King County for police, surface water, road maintenance, traffic, animal control, business license, district court services. Contracted with private company planning, building inspection, traffic & City engineering, Building Official, city attorney, prosecution, public defense. Services the city did in-house included planning (supplemented by contracts), administration and finance. The City didn't do: code enforcement, parks maintenance (didn't have parks transferred for several years), or recreation. Today, Kenmore still contracts with King County for police, surface water, minimal road maintenance, traffic maintenance, animal control, and district court services. Contracts with the city of Lake Forest Park for road maintenance, parks maintenance. Most 1998 contracts for planning, administration, engineering and legal support are still in place. Now done in-house: administration and finance, code enforcement, building inspection, city engineer. • Number of City Hall staff at incorporation was 8 (City Manager, Assistant City Manager, Senior Planner, Community Development Director, Receptionist, Administrative Assistant, Accounting Tech, City Clerk). Today, the City has 16 staff (added Public Works Superintendent, Engineer, Administrative Assistant, Code Compliance Officer, Building Inspector, and planning and finance support staff). • Surprising or unexpected issues City since incorporation? Incorporation study is considered a public commitment to operate based on the assumptions made by a private consultant, even though later elected officials have policy making authority. The world has drastically changed since incorporation, affecting underlying assumptions for the financial health of Kenmore (property tax initiatives, elimination of sales tax equalization). This resulted in a changed vision about growth and development very soon after incorporation. This change in vision appears to the public to be the result of incorporation, but not really. "Scarcely a day passes without some striking evidence of the delays and perplexities springing merely from the want of precedents." (Representative James Madison, May 31, 1789, First Federal Congress). This quote is inscribed along the top trim board at the National Archives above the Constitution. In other words, everything is harder and takes longer, because it's never been done before.

What are differences in city and county ordinances for business regulations? A. West Hill businesses could potentially face more regulation and taxes with a change in governance. All persons engaging in business activity in the City of Seattle and the City of Renton must obtain a business license and pay taxes. Only those businesses located in unincorporated King County engaging in a regulated activity must license their business. King County: • King County business licenses are required for businesses engaged in specific regulated activities within unincorporated King County (outside of any city limits). Regulated activities are amusement parks and places, amusement devices, bowling alleys, carnivals, go-cart tracks, skating rinks, video games, pool tables, outdoor and indoor entertainment, dances, adult entertainment establishments, massage and bathhouse businesses, process servers, secondhand dealers, pawnshops, charitable organizations, taxicabs and drivers, pet shops, kennels, grooming businesses, or theaters. Otherwise, King County does not require a general business license. However, businesses must be in compliance with zoning code regulations. • See http://www.metrokc.gov/lars/business/obtain.htm and http://www.metrokc.gov/ddes/business/index.shtm Seattle: • Anyone engaging in business within the Seattle city limits needs a business license and may have to pay business taxes as well. Any business whose annual taxable gross revenue (gross receipts less allowable deductions) is less than $50,000 is not required to remit a tax payment or a return even if no tax is due. The business license tax is levied on all gross receipts, with some deductions and exemptions are provided by the Seattle Municipal Code. A two-tier business license fee is also in place with fees based on the entity's projected worldwide annual gross income and/or value of products, and a business license fee of $90 and $10 for each additional branch. • Business & Occupation Tax (B&0) is calculated on the gross income of the business multiplied by 0.215%; 0.415% for service-related industries. • For more information please visit: http://www.seattle.gov/rca/taxes/Taxmain.htm and http://www.cityofseattle.net/rca/licenses/Licmain.htm Renton: • Businesses operating in Renton need a business license from the City of Renton. Over 80% of funds are used to improve and expand City streets. All applicants must have a Uniform Business Identification Number (UBI). Home-based businesses must apply for a home occupation license, and have permission from the landlord to conduct business out of an apartment. Commercially zoned businesses must have a commercial business license. City of Renton Business Licenses fees are based on person-hours worked in a quarter by all personnel multiplied by rate per hour (.029). This includes all corporate officers, partners, family etc. regardless if a salary is paid or not, billed quarterly. Businesses located outside the City limits and coming into the City to do business must have a license for business conducted in the city. • For more information please visit: http://www.ci.renton.wa.us/ West Hill Governance Task Force Page 6 May 2005 FAQs www,westhillcommunity.com Prepared by Berk&Associates Source: city and county websites, interviews with local government staff Q. What about non-governance issues? Would these things change? • Address and zip code? Currently, West Hill residents' city and zip code is Seattle, 98178. The Berk & Associates team assumes the following: • If the area annexed to Seattle or remained unincorporated, neither city name nor zip code in the address would change. • If the area annexed to Renton or incorporated as a new city, the city name would change but the zip code would remain the same. The U.S. Postal Service was unwilling to speculate about their response to a change in governance for either city name or zip code. Occasionally the US Postal Service will add new or realign existing ZIP Code areas to accommodate population growth. New ZIP Codes are released by the District Office approximately 30 days before the ZIP Code change goes into effect, and mail with the old ZIP Code will continue to be delivered for one year. • Area code/phone number? Berk & Associates assumes that area codes would not change. Area codes are determined by the telephone companies and regulated by the state. An area code only changes when an area runs out of prefixes. Area codes are not determined by urban boundaries. • Insurance rates? The insurance rates might or might not change — there is no clear indicator as to what would happen. Special risk assessment organizations determine the risk ratings of a particular area, which then leads the insurance providers to assign different risk premiums based on these risk ratings. These risk ratings depend on a number of items: which fire or police department serves the area, the response times, distance from the fire hydrant, geographic location (proximity to lake, woods, etc.), crime rates, number of accidents. Source: Inquiries to U.S. Postal Service, local telephone and insurance providers Q. So When Do We Vote? A. There are several mechanisms for a city to annex an area or for an area to incorporate as a new city. All annexation methods require city consent, and residents can initiate the process but can't compel the city to annex. Concerted resident opposition can stop annexation. The options are listed below. "Old" Petition Method: RCW 35A.14.120 (reinstated Supreme Court Feb.'04) is most- often-used form of annexation. • Petition to annex with signatures of property owners owning at least 10% of area • Petition presented to city council; council decides whether or not accept petition • Petition is circulated with signatures of property owners representing 60% of assessed value • Subject to BRB process; city must pass an ordinance effecting the annexation. "New" Petition Method: RCW 35A.14.420 (laws of 2003) West Hill Governance Task Force Page 7 May 2005 FAQs www.westhillcommunity.corn Prepared by Berk&Associates • Residents may petition to be annexed to a city by filing "an intention to commence annexation proceeding" signed by owners of 10% of the acreage of the area • City council decides whether to accept annexation proposal (accept, modify or reject) • Circulation of petition including signatures of the owners of a majority of the acreage of the area and a majority of the registered voters • Council passes ordinance annexing subject area subject to BRB process. • Petition may set forth zoning and whether area will assume existing bonded indebtedness Election Method: RCW 35A.14.015 • Petition with signatures equal to 10% of votes cast in last state general election OR city may pass a resolution expressing its intent to annex • Subject to BRB approval process • Election held —simple majority needed • City can choose to reject even if election vote is favorable • Voters vote for/against annexation and bonded indebtedness "New Island" Method: RCW 35.14.460 laws of 2003 • Unincorporated island, with 60% of area must be surrounded by one or more cities • Annexing city and county develop an interlocal agreement that sets forth the conditions and timing of annexation • City and county councils adopt interlocal agreement following public hearings; city passes ordinance annexing the area. • Action is subject to 45 day referendum — a petition signed by 15% of registered voters will put the question of annexation before the voters. Simple majority required. • Subject to BRB process Incorporation: RCW 35.02 • Petition requirement: 10% of registered voters residing within boundaries 180 days after proposed incorporation public meeting is held • Review by BRB: May approve, modify boundaries (may not add or remove more than 10% of total area), or recommend against the proposal. Determine division of assets and liabilities between two governments. Present proposal and modified proposal for election. • Election: At next special election date, 60+ days after the final public hearing by the BRB. If vote in favor of incorporation gets 40% or less of the total, no new election on incorporation for the area or any portion may be held for 3 years from the failed election • If the voters approve the proposed incorporation, a primary election to nominate candidates for city council (and, in mayor-council cities, a mayor) and then an election to select the city council must be held. • New city must officially incorporate, at a date set by the initial city council, within 360 days of the incorporation election.

This Governance Alternatives Studyassessed future governance options for the West Hill community, looking at issues and implications from the perspective of West Hill residents and businesses. The Alternatives Study process also included a series of community meetings that were designed to answer questions that West Hill residents and businesses had in mind when considering their options. The West Hill Governance Alternatives Study included an assessment of three alternative futures: (1) remaining unincorporated, (2) incorporating as a new city, and (3) annexation to Seattle or Renton. Since the study was designed to look at annexation from the perspective of West Hill residents, the analysis largely focused on how taxes and levels of service might change in West Hill with a change in governance. What the Governance Alternatives Study did not address were the fiscal implications that annexation of West Hill would have on the cities of Seattle or Renton. Given the scope of the West Hill Governance Alternatives Study, and given Renton's desire to more fully understand the fiscal implications of annexation, the City of Renton contracted Berk &Associates to develop a complementary analysis that assesses the fiscal impacts of annexing West Hill from the City of Renton's perspective. In order for the City to better understand strategic issues of annexation, this assessment distinguishes costs and revenues among three sub-areas (Study Areas 1 through 3 on Figure 1). These three study areas, combined, make up the West Hill unincorporated area. There are a number of reasons why Renton might want to annex all or part of West Hill. In terms of community function, West Hill acts as a part of the City of Renton. West Hill residents play and shop in Renton. West Hill is part of the Renton School District. West Hill and Renton have similar demographic characteristics. And now and in the future, many of the things that happen (or don't happen) in West Hill have a direct impact on Renton. Recognizing the many reasons Renton has an interest in annexing West Hill, the goal of this analysis is to provide City decision makers with information about what the cost of annexation might be. Study Purpose and Approach The goal of this analysis is to assess three issues: 1. Near-Term Operating Impacts: What new operating costs and revenues would Renton face if it were to annex any of three study areas and provide levels of service similar to current services in existing neighborhoods? IN { BERK & ASSOCIATES ? Page 1 City of Renton Annexation Analysis:West Hill 2. Capital Needs: What capital needs have been identified in West Hill? What costs would Renton ' incur to address capital requirements? What new capital revenues would West Hill generate to help cover those costs? 3. How Might Fiscal Impacts Change in the Future: Given that West Hill differs from the City of Renton as a whole (it is more residential in nature, is more directly in the path of residential redevelopment that has pushed southward from Downtown Seattle in recent years, and has a good share of view properties in Lakeridge and Bryn Mawr), how might West Hill's fiscal contribution to the City change in coming decades? jBERK & ASSOCIATESI Paget ,..r,D City of Renton Annexation Analysis:West Hill Figure 1: Study Areas for Fiscal Analysis of Annexation 11 ; .,. - ?7# £ y ''i ' pursue . } r 9 rj� � b � tarp !� ..

To provide intuitive and up-to-date information about estimated impacts, this analysis provides a snapshot of what the operating impacts would be if the City were in the position of fully governing each study area in 2005. The assessment is based on 2005 budgeted service expenditures and 2005 tax and fee structures, as outlined in the City of Renton 2005 Adopted Budget, and is intended I BERK & ASSCJCIA"TESL Page3 City of Renton Annexation Analysis:West Hill to represent a picture of fiscal impacts under steady-state operation. In essence, these impacts reflect the ongoing "costs" that the City would face each year, beginning, perhaps, in the third or fourth year after annexation, and extending into the future. The purpose of estimating the hypothetical gap that would be created if the City were to try to extend current service levels to the study areas is to present decision makers and the public with a picture of the true "cost" of annexation. Ultimately, of course, any such gap between costs and revenues must be hypothetical. Cities have no choice but to cover their costs of operation. Consequently, if Renton were to annex any of the contemplated annexation areas, any estimated "cost" associated with annexation would have to be made up through some combination of (1) stretching City resources through decreased levels of service City-wide; and/or (2) increasing City revenues. The goal of this analysis is to provide an intuitive snapshot of the net cost to the City of annexation. Given that goal, we try as much as possible to simplify the fiscal analysis. With the exception of the City's enterprise funds, we treat revenues as revenues and costs as costs. We recognize that the City has current policies in place that direct certain operating revenues to certain uses. However, recognizing that such policies can evolve given changing fiscal conditions within the City, our assessment of operating revenues and costs lumps all operating funds together, excluding enterprise funds. Facilities in the Study Areas Among the three study areas, Areas 1 and 3 both include fire stations: • Bryn Mawr Fire Station, in Area 1, is old and in need of renovation, and is no longer necessary to provide effective fire protection in West Hill. If the City were to annex Area 1, the Renton Fire Department reports that they would close the Bryn Mawr station. • Skyway Fire Station, in Area 3, is a large, modern station that would, upon annexation, become the new Renton Fire Station in West Hill. Since the Skyway Fire Station represents Fire District 20's key asset, any attempted annexation that included the fire station but did not take the majority of West Hill would almost certainly face fierce opposition from many directions, including the King County Boundary Review Board. Areas 1 and 3 also each include a single park: • Bryn Mawr Park in Area 1 is an undeveloped park of 4.81 acres. • Skyway Park is an active park of 23.08 acres,with playfields, courts and play areas. Also included in Area 3 is the King County Library System (KCLS) Skyway Library. KCLS currently has plans to build a new 8,000 square foot Skyway Library in 2011. Representatives at King County are currently working with KCLS to ensure that the new library will be completed even if the area annexes to Renton, and the working assumption is that, upon annexation of Area 3, Skyway would become Renton's third library branch. II IBERK & ASSOCIATESI Page4 City of Renton Annexation Analysis:West Hill Finally, the Skyway Boys & Girls Club is located next to Dimmit Middle School in Area 1.The facility is owned by King County, and leased for 15 years, through the year 2018, to the Boys & Girls Clubs ' of King County, which maintains and operates the facility. King County would retain ownership of the asset for the life of the lease. At that time, the disposition of this facility would likely be negotiated between the King County and the City of Renton. The assumption for this analysis is that the Boys & Girls Club would continue to operate and would continue to cover its operating costs and maintain the building. The possibility does exist, however, that the Boys & Girls club would be unable to raise sufficient revenues in the long-term to cover its costs of operation. In that event, the City of Renton could choose to participate in operation of the community center. Summary of Findings If the City of Renton were governing West Hill in 2005 and attempted to maintain current levels of taxes and services, we estimate that the gap between additional costs and revenues would be $2.4 million. If one allocates costs among areas based on each area's relative demand for services, of the $2.4 million cost, the greatest net cost would come from Area 3 ($2.3 million). Of the remaining two areas, Area 2 would generate modest net benefits to the City, introducing net new revenues of $251,000. Area 1 would generate relatively modest net costs ($429,000) as demonstrated in Table 1. Table 1: Summary of Operating Costs and Revenues for Contemplated Annexation Areas (2005 Dollars) Area 1 Area 2 Area 3 Total Additional Operating Cost $2,661,000 $1,241,000 $6,389,000 $10,291,000 Additional Operating Revenues $2,232,000 $1,492,000 $4,1 16,000 $7,840,000 NET REVENUES ($429,000) $251,000 ($2,273,000) ($2,451,000) Source:Berk&Associates analysis Note:For more detailed breakdowns of costs and revenues,and for a discussion of the methods used to estimate each cost and revenue source,see Appendix A. If, instead of using allocated costs, one looks at annexation scenarios, the incremental costs of including or excluding areas will vary. In particular, as noted in the discussion of potential scenarios below, when one looks at the difference between a large annexation with or without Area 2, the benefits of including Area 2 are likely to be much larger than the a0ocatedbenefit of$251,000. Annexation Scenarios In practical terms,four annexation options are available to the City: • Annexation of all three Areas: This scenario would result in the $2.4 million net cost to the City estimated above. IN ! BERK & ASSOCIATES ! Page5 iatrio City of Renton Annexation Analysis:West Hill • Annexation of all or part of Area 1: Area 1 includes the Bryn Mawr Fire Station. If the City • were to annex the Area, the Fire Department reports that they would seek to close the Bryn Mawr Station and serve the area from existing Renton Fire Stations. The more of Area 1 the City annexes, the more challenging it would become for the Department to serve the annexed area. However, if Renton were to annex the entire area and provide fire and emergency medical services to the area from existing City stations, the net cost of annexation would be the estimated $393,000 cited above. Since a portion of Area 1 overlooks Renton Airport, the City may have a strategic interest in annexing at least that portion. If Renton were to annex only a portion of Area 1,the net cost of the annexation would certainly be less than $429,000. • Annexation of Areas 1 and 2: If Renton were to annex only Areas 1 and 2, but not annex Area 3, then the logistical difficulties of fire protection noted above would be even more pronounced. In fact, it is unlikely that the City could annex and serve all of Area 2 without locating a fire station in, or close to, Bryn Mawr or Lakeridge. In theory, if Seattle did not annex other portions of West Hill, it would be possible for Renton to enter into a contract arrangement with Fire District 20 and have the Fire District continue to provide services in Areas 1 and 2 in exchange for a City payment. Providing fire services through such a contract would add roughly $200,000 to the net cost of annexing Areas 1 and 2 presented above. Perhaps more important, in the long run, it would be unreasonable to expect that the Fire District could remain in place (given King County's strong desire to have West Hill annexed). If Renton were to Annex Areas 1 and 2, and Seattle eventually annexed remaining portions of West Hill, Renton would be put in a situation where the City would have to provide fire services to the new neighborhoods through a new station. This could dramatically increase the net costs of serving Areas 1 and 2. As noted earlier, it is also unlikely that the City would be allowed to pursue a partial annexation that included the Skyway Fire Station but left out any substantial portion of West Hill.The Skyway Station was designed to provide fire and emergency medical services to all of West Hill. To take the station and only half of West Hill (1) would be cost inefficient for Renton (staffing a full fire station to serve a population of only 7,000 people) and (2) it would make it cost prohibitive for Seattle to annex the remaining area of West Hill (because Seattle would have to build and staff another station in West Hill to serve an equally small population) • Annexation of Areas 1 and 3: In reality, it would cost the City considerably more to annex Areas 1 and 3 than it would to annex the entire area. The allocated cost of annexing Areas 1 and 3 in Table 1 suggest that the two Areas combine to generate $6.3 million in revenue, but $9.1 million in costs, resulting in a gap of $2.8 million. However, in a scenario where Renton takes Areas 1 and 3, and Seattle takes Area 2,the real cost to the city would exceed $2.8 million. Having annexed Areas 1 and 3, the incremental cost of providing services to Area 2 for services like police and fire are likely to be small. Once the City has staffed the Skyway Fire Station, the incremental cost of providing fire service to Area 2 will actually be less than Area 2's allocated cost of $270,000 (the cost might be as little as $100,000 or less). It is probably also true that, once In mon � BERK & ASSOCIATES ' Page6 City of Renton Annexation Analysis:West Hill the Renton Police Department establishes patrol districts in Areas 1 and 3, the incremental cost of providing police services to Area 2 could be much less than the allocated cost of $358,000 (this cost might be as little as $150,000). Overall, on an incremental basis, the costs of serving Area 2 might be roughly $800,000, while the incremental revenues generated by Area 2 would near $1.5 million. This results in net incrementa/revenues from including Area 2 of$700,000. Looking at it from the other direction, annexation of all three areas would cost the City$2.4 million (net), but annexation of Areas 1 and 3 alone might have a net cost to the City of as much as $3.1 million. The City would bear the cost of staffing a new fire station and two new patrol districts either way, so if Area 2 is excluded, the cost of the station and the patrol districts will remain (and be spread over a smaller base) but the City will lose a//of the revenues Area 2 generates. Capital Cost Impacts In addition to the day-to-day operating costs of City programs, the City of Renton must consider the construction and maintenance of existing and new capital facilities that exist in West Hill today. The primary capital costs that Renton would face in West Hill would include transportation (road) improvements, maintenance and replacement of surface water management facilities; responding to runoff and flooding complaints, and potentially, the replacement of future park and recreation facilities. Potential capital liabilities much farther in the future include serving 350 households currently unserved by Skyway Water& Sewer or the City of Renton, and assuming ownership of the community center at the end of the County's long-term lease after 2018. Using King County's current investment in these capital needs as a proxy, Renton could face the following annual demands for capital investment: • Roads: $8.2 million in 6-year capital needs; $358,000 identified as high-priority; about$200,000 annually for roads overlay. • Surface Water Management: maintenance of current facilities and creation of new ditches and culverts. • Parks: replacement of equipment and upgrading sports courts and fields. The total capital revenues generated in West Hill annually from Real Estate Excise Tax, SWM Fees, and Business License Fees total just over$900,000 annually,which would appear to be sufficient to cover identified high-priority and medium-priority capital needs. In addition to existing capital revenue streams, the Washington State Legislature expects to consider legislation in the coming session that would create a new 0.4% Real Estate Excise Tax that would replace mitigation fees for City's that choose to make the switch. If enacted, the new tax would generate another $400,000 per year in West Hill, further bolstering the areas' ability to finance capital investments. The capital investment sections below include an inventory of known and needed capital infrastructure as identified by the King County Capital Investment Program (CIP). This inventory is III IBERK & ASSOCIATES Pagel 'OW leo City of Renton Annexation Analysis:West Hill coupled with an understanding of the City of Renton's investment policies and infrastructure standards, and notes some of the capital investment challenges the City could face in the future. Long-Run Fiscal Impacts As has been established in the discussion of current operating impacts, annexation of West Hill will introduce annual costs to the City of Renton's operating budget. Having clarified short-term costs, the next question is: What is likely to change in the future?If Renton annexes West Hill, looking 20 years into the future, is West Hill's fiscal role likely to be one of improving the City's fiscal sustainability? Or, is West Hill likely to remain a net absorber of City resources? Given existing fiscal challenges, Renton's strongest fiscal engine for the future is likely to be growth in retail sales taxes. Among the City's three major tax sources: (1) property taxes, (2) sales taxes, and (3) utility taxes, only retail sales tax is likely to grow at a rate of 50/0 or more (a rate of growth the City will probably need in order to maintain current levels of service). If retail sales tax is the engine of City revenue growth (and if the City does not forestall the eroding effects of 1-747 through levy lid lifts) then all of the City's residential neighborhoods (including West Hill) are likely to become a greater net cost to the City in the long run. One force that will strengthen the contribution of residential neighborhoods as a whole are proposed sales tax sourcing rule changes that will allow cities to collect sales taxes on delivered goods based on the point of delivery (as opposed to the current practice of taxing them based on the point of origin). Looking farther into the future, interstate taxation of delivered goods (purchased through the internet or via catalog) would further strengthen the value of residential neighborhoods. Other factors that are specific to West Hill include: 1. Potential shifts in Renton's ability to collect electric utility taxes in West Hill (see discussion below); and 2. Potential for improved competitiveness of West Hill's commercial center on Renton Avenue; One large potential risk the City faces revolves around the prospect that, at some point in the future, one or both of West Hill's casinos could close, reducing revenues to the City by up to $1 million. While many uncertainties exist, scenarios do exist that would suggest the revenue shortfall in West Hill could narrow by, perhaps, as much as a million dollars in coming years. Such a scenario would include implementation of taxation on interstate purchases (accompanied by trends towards more internet purchase); levy lid lifts to mitigate the eroding effects of 1-747 on the City's property tax levy; and a change in Renton's ability to tax electric utility revenues in West Hill. Negative scenarios that would result in greater net costs over time would include some combination of no levy lid lifts (resulting in continued erosion of Renton's property tax levy rate), poor property appreciation in West Hill relative to the rest of the City, and/or eventual closure of West Hill's casinos.

These policies, referred to as the Countywide Planning Policies, are King County and the suburban cities' interjurisdictional plan for implementing the goals of the Growth Management Act. As directed by the GMA, the Countywide Planning Policies explicitly address the status of unincorporated urban areas. Among other things,the policies call for: • Elimination of unincorporated urban islands between cities. • The adoption by each city of a Potential Annexation Area, in consultation with residential groups in the affected area. • The annexation or incorporation of all unincorporated areas within the urban growth boundary within a 20-year timeframe (1994 — 2013). In an effort to advance the discussion of governance options for the West Hill area, the King County Office of Management & Budget commissioned a 2005 analysis of the future governance options for the West Hill community. This Alternatives Study, which was designed to inform West Hill residents and businesses about their governance options, included an assessment of three alternative futures: (1) annexation to a neighboring city, (2) remaining unincorporated, and (3) incorporating as a new city. The City of Renton was interested in taking advantage of analyses developed for the Governance Alternatives Studyto simultaneously develop a complimentary analysis that assesses the fiscal impacts of annexing West Hill from the City's perspective. The City contracted Berk&Associates to assess the full operating costs and capital needs that Renton would face if it were to annex any of three study areas, identified as Areas 1 through 3, or all of West Hill as a whole. Berk&Associates has prepared the following analyses summarized in this report. There are a number of reasons why Renton might want to annex all or part of West Hill. In terms of community function, West Hill acts as a part of the City of Renton. West Hill residents play and shop in Renton. West Hill is part of the Renton School District. West Hill and Renton have similar demographic characteristics. And now and in the future, many of the things that happen (or don't happen) in West Hill have a direct impact on Renton. Recognizing the many reasons Renton has an interest in annexing West Hill, the goal of this analysis is to provide City decision makers with information about what the cost of annexation might be.

Operating Revenue and Operating Cost Assessment • • Develop a current snapshot of new revenues that would accrue to the City upon annexation given existing area characteristics and Renton's existing tax and fee structure. • Develop a current snapshot of new operating costs the City would face given existing demand for service in the West Hill area and given Renton's existing service levels. • Assessment of 20-year revenues and service costs based on current revenue and cost structures and potential future conditions. 2. Capital Needs and Revenue Assessment • Catalog identified infrastructure needs in West Hill for roads, surface water, and parks based on a review of King County's current CIP and identified but unprogrammed needs in the County's Transportation Needs Report. • Identify capital revenues generated in each annexation study area. As a baseline assessment, this study looks at the net fiscal gap the new, expanded City of Renton would face if the City were to annex any of the identified annexation areas, while simultaneously trying to maintain current levels of services and current levels of taxes and fees. To provide intuitive and up-to-date information about estimated impacts, this analysis provides a snapshot of what the operating impacts would be if the City were in the position of fully governing each study area in 2005. The assessment is based on 2005 budgeted expenditures and 2005 tax and fee structures, as outlined in the City of Renton 2005 Adopted Budget, and is intended to represent a picture of fiscal impacts under steady-state operation. In essence, these steady-state impacts reflect the ongoing "costs" that the City would face each year, beginning, perhaps, in the third or fourth year after annexation and extending into perpetuity. The purpose of estimating the hypothetical gap that would be created if the City were to try to extend current service levels to the contemplated annexation without increasing taxes is to present decision makers and the public with a picture of the true "cost" of annexation. Ultimately, of course, any such gap between costs and revenues is hypothetical. Cities have no choice but to cover their costs of operation. If Renton were to annex any of the contemplated annexation areas, any estimated "cost" associated with annexation would have to be made up through some combination of (1) stretching City resources through increased efficiencies or decreased levels of service and/or (2) increasing City revenues. 1BERK & ASSOCIATES Page 12 City of Renton Annexation Analysis:West Hill Report Organization This remainder of this report is organized into five sections: • A discussion of some of the Key Assumptions that helped shape the analysis; • A brief discussion of the some of the Study Area Characteristics; • A Summary of Impacts; • A discussion of Key Operating Costs and Revenues, Key Capital Costs and Revenues;and • A brief discussion of Long-Term Fiscal Implications and Strategic Issues regarding annexation. IN BERK & ASSOCIATES , Page 13 City of Renton Annexation Analysis:West Hill Key Assumptions The analysis that is summarized in this report is shaped by a number of key assumptions: • The three identified annexation areas would receive levels of service similar to those now provided by the City of Renton. • The current level of service, staffing and expenditures in Renton is the benchmark for forecasting comparable levels of service, staffing and costs in the annexation area. This study does not evaluate whether Renton's existing levels of service, staffing or expenditures are acceptable or sustainable with existing resources and staffing. • Cities that have undertaken annexations in the past have found that there is a surge in demand for services after annexation. This study's methodology of directly estimating demand for services that will be introduced upon annexation for key expense categories will produce a more accurate forecast than a simple population-driven forecast, but it does not attempt to address transition or "ramp-up" costs, nor does it address surges in demand that the City might see in the first few months after annexation. • This fiscal analysis includes cost and revenue estimates only for those taxes or services that would change upon annexation. Local services that would not change include water and sewer, schools, regional transit, health services, and regional parks. In other words, after annexation, existing school district boundaries would remain as they are, and regional transit, health and regional parks will continue to be provided by King County. Also, this analysis assumes that Renton would not take over provision of water and sewer service in West Hill upon annexation. Rather, the Skyway Water& Sewer District would remain in place. • To give the clearest possible view of the net operating costs of annexation, this summary of operating costs and revenues combine costs and revenues that accrue to the City's General and Street funds. The costs and revenues of the Surface Water Management and other enterprise funds, however, have been held separate. • The need to support capital investments and infrastructure development is difficult to accurately estimate given the current level of investment by King County, which is minimal today with the exception of roads projects. Over time, the type and quality of capital facilities in West Hill would be aligned with those provided with the rest of the City, but major investments in new capital development would not occur immediately upon annexation. le I BERK & ASSOCIATESI Page 14 '4111111.' 'MOO City of Renton Annexation Analysis:West Hill • Study Area Characteristics Population and Growth In total, the three study areas included in this analysis are home to almost 14,000 residents and some businesses, including retailers and service providers.The largest and most populous area is Area 3, with an estimated 2005 population of 7,217. Areas 1 and 2 have estimated 2005 populations of 4,388 and 2,310, respectively. West Hill is developed, and there are opportunities for additional, infill development, but few opportunities for large-scale residential developments exist. Even with opportunities for infill development, little commercial development has occurred in West Hill in the past decade, and population in the area increased by less than 400 people from 2000 to 2005, an average annual growth rate of 0.5%. Property Values Combined, the three contemplated annexation areas include slightly more than $1 billion in taxable property. In per-capita terms, Area 2, Lakeridge, has relatively high levels of taxable property, $135,000 per resident. Area 1 (which includes Bryn Mawr) and Area 3 bring roughly $93,000 and $69,000 of taxable property per resident, respectively. Currently, the City of Renton has $120,000 of taxable property per resident—with a more than 40% of that value coming from commercial property. Retail Sales Combined, the three contemplated annexation areas would generate roughly $370,000 of revenue for the City. As residential areas,the three study areas would generate sales tax revenues ranging from $23 per capita, for Areas 1 and 2, to $30 per capita for Area 3. These figures compare less-than- favorably with the City of Renton's sales tax revenues, which exceeded $280 per resident in 2004. The average retail sales revenues for all of Washington state cities were roughly $185 per city resident in 2004. BERK & ASSOCIATES ! Page 15 4110 City of Renton Annexation Analysis:West Hill Summary of Fiscal Operating Impacts • As a whole, if the City of Renton were to annex the three contemplated annexation areas, the net operating cost to the City would approach $2.4 million per year (Table 2). (For further discussion of fire service, see discussion of Fire and Emergency Medical Services on page 22.) To put this figure into context, $2.4 million represents approximately 90/0 of Renton's total General Fund budgeted expenditures for 2005. Of the three study areas, one area would generate positive net operating revenues for the City (Area 2, which is the Lakeridge neighborhood) and the other two areas would generate net costs. Of the total net costs, however, the largest share (approximately $2.3 million) is generated in Study Area 3, the Area with the largest population and the poorest tax fundamentals. In addition to Area 3's relatively low tax base, Area 3 also encompasses almost all of the existing park facilities in the contemplated annexation areas. Our estimates do assume that the populations of Areas 1 and 2 would introduce new demands for recreation services, but it would be the maintenance of the park facilities in Area 3 that would introduce the majority of estimated Parks and Recreation costs, which are included under Community Services division. Area 3 also includes the Skyway Library,which would become Renton's third city library upon annexation of the area. Table 2 summarizes an estimate of the impact that annexation of each of the three study areas would have on the City's operating costs and revenues. In effect, Table 2 summarizes the costs that are distributed based on the distribution of demand for City services, but the incremental costs of annexing a given area will vary by scenario. To reflect the true cost of annexation to the City, Table 2 includes annualized facility costs that would be associated with an increase in the number of City employees. This cost could be viewed as the annual cost of leasing space for additional City Hall staff, Police and Fire Department employees, maintenance workers, etc. Another way to think of these facilities costs would be in terms of the annual cost of a capital bond that would cover the cost of building new City facilities. For annexation of all three areas,facilities costs are estimated at$463,000. If one were to exclude facilities costs from the operating deficit, which some cities do, then the baseline operating gap associated with annexing all three areas would drop to approximately$2 million. Again, these estimated impacts are based on the assumption that, upon annexation, the City would attempt to extend current levels of services to each contemplated annexation area. These estimates include the combined impacts on the City's General and Street fund, but do not include the operating costs or revenues of the Surface Water Management (SWM) Fund or other enterprise funds. Appendix A provides a more thorough breakdown of the component costs and revenues and a discussion of the methods used to estimate each.

If one looks at annexation scenarios, the incremental costs of including or excluding areas will vary. In particular, when one looks at the difference between a large annexation with or without Area 2, the benefits of including Area 2 are likely to be much larger than the allocated benefit of$251,000. Annexation Scenarios Four annexation options are available to City: 1. Annexation of all three Areas: This scenario would result in the $2.4 million net cost to the City estimated above. 2. Annexation of all or part of Area 1: Area 1 includes the Bryn Mawr Fire Station. If the City were to annex the Area, the Fire Department reports that they would look to close the Bryn Mawr Station and serve the Area from existing Renton Fire Stations. The more of Area 1 the City IN I BERK & ASSOCIATES Page 17 City of Renton Annexation Analysis:West Hill annexes, the more challenging it would become for the Department to serve the annexed Area. ' However, if Renton were to annex the entire Area and provide fire and emergency medical services to the area from existing City stations, the net cost of annexation would be the estimated $429,000 cited above. In this case, the estimated costs of providing fire service are meant to capture the incremental load that would be placed on the City's existing fire stations and staff. 3. Annexation of Areas 1 and 2: If Renton were to annex only Areas 1 and 2, but not annex Area 3, then the logistical difficulties of fire protection noted above would be even more pronounced. In fact, it is unlikely that the City could annex and serve a//of Area 2 without locating a fire station in, or close to, Bryn Mawr or Lakeridge. In theory, if Seattle did not annex other portions of West Hill, it would be possible for Renton to enter into a contract arrangement with Fire District 20 and have the Fire District continue to provide services in Areas 1 and 2 in exchange for a City payment. Providing fire services through such a contract would add roughly $200,000 to the net cost of annexing Areas 1 and 2 presented above. Perhaps more important, in the long run, it would be unreasonable to expect that the Fire District could remain in place (given King County's strong desire to have West Hill annexed). If Renton were to annex Areas 1 and 2, and Seattle eventually annexed remaining portions of West Hill, Renton would be put in a situation where the City would have to provide fire services to the new neighborhoods through a new station. This could dramatically increase the net costs of serving Areas 1 and 2. 4. Annexation of Areas 1 and 3: In reality, it would cost the City considerably more to annex Areas 1 and 3 than it would to annex the entire area. The allocated cost of annexing Areas 1 and 3 in Table 2 suggest that the two areas combine to generate $6.3 million in revenue, but $9.1 million in costs, resulting in a gap of $2.8 million. In fact, however, in a scenario where Renton takes Areas 1 and 3, and Seattle takes Area 2, the real cost to the city would exceed $2.8 million. Having annexed Areas 1 and 3, the incremental cost of providing services to Area 2 for services like police and fire are likely to be small. Once the City has staffed the Skyway Fire Station, the incremental cost of providing fire service to Area 2 will actually be less than Area 2's allocated cost of $270,000 (the cost might be as little as $100,000 or less). It is probably also true that, once the Renton Police Department establishes patrol districts in Areas 1 and 3, the incremental cost of providing police services to Area 2 could be much less than the allocated cost of $358,000 (this cost might be as little as $150,000). Overall, on an incremental basis, the costs of serving Area 2 might be roughly $800,000,while the incremental revenues generated by Area 2 would approach $1.5 million. This results in net incremental revenues from including Area 2 of$700,000. Looking at it from the other direction, annexation of all three areas would cost the City$2.4 million (net), but annexation of Areas 1 and 3 alone might have a net cost to the City of as much as $3.1 million. The City would bear the cost of staffing a new fire station and two new patrol districts either way, so if Area 2 is excluded, the cost of the station and the patrol districts will remain (and be spread over a smaller base) but the City will lose all of the revenues Area 2 generates. 1111 meiI BERK & ASSOC Page 18 City of Renton Annexation Analysis:West Hill • • Key Operating Costs and Revenues In Renton, as in most cities, the majority of the City's costs are concentrated in a relatively small number of service categories and the majority of revenues accrue from a small number of sources. Following is a brief overview of these central cost and revenue categories and a discussion of the impact that differing service demands and revenue bases in the three study areas have on the overall fiscal impacts of annexation. Major Revenues Property Tax Combined, annexation of the three study areas would bring an estimated $1.2 billion of additional taxable property to the City. In per capita terms, Area 2 (Lakeridge neighborhood) has substantially higher property values than the other two study areas. Assessed value per resident by area is as follows: • Area 1: $93,000; • Area 2: $135,000; and • Area 3: $69,000. Given these values of taxable property, and given Renton's 2005 regular City levy rate of $3.14 per $1,000 of assessed value, if the City had governed the three study areas in 2005, they would have generated roughly$3.8 million in property tax revenues. Utility Taxes and Electric Utility Payment The City of Renton currently levies a 6% tax on revenues that are generated in the City from the sale of telephone services (including cell phone services), natural gas, cable television, and garbage and water/sewer services.The City also levies a tax on the sale of electricity in the city. Based on statistical analysis of utility tax revenues and characteristics of other cities, we estimate that, as a whole, the utility taxes would have generated slightly less than $1.0 million in additional City revenues if the study areas had been part of the City in 2005. Of this total: • 32%would come from taxes on telephone services; • 33%would come from the water/sewer/storm drainage tax; • 13%would come from the sale of natural gas; • 16%would come from cable services;and • 7%would come from taxes on garbage fees. All three of the contemplated annexation areas addressed in this study are included in Seattle City Light's service area. Therefore, by State law, they are not subject to the Renton's utility tax on electricity. Rather, the City of Seattle collects electric utility taxes from those residents, and under current law, would continue to do so even if Renton annexed the area. MB I BERK & ASSOCIATES ! Page 19 City of Renton Annexation Analysis:West Hill If the areas were annexed, however, the City of Renton would have the opportunity to negotiate a • " payment from the City Light. Portions of the City of Burien are also served by City Light, and Burien has negotiated a payment roughly equal to 3% of City Light's gross energy billings in the area in question.We estimate that, if Renton were to negotiate an equivalent payment,the City would receive $156,000 from Seattle City Light. Presumably, City Light negotiates these payments with neighboring cities for two reasons: 1. It is in Seattle's fiscal interest to ensure that existing State laws do not change. The City of Seattle generates millions of dollars in utility tax payments levied on customers that are not within the City boundaries (and in many cases, are located in other cities). Given that the law appears to be unfair—Burien residents are paying taxes to support City services they don't receive—it seems reasonable that a concerted lobbying effort in Olympia by affected cities could result in a change in the statute or to codify an in-lieu-of payment to neighboring cities. (Tacoma and its neighboring cities would also be affected by a change in the law.) 2. If City Light did not make payments to cities to partially "make up" for lost city utility taxes, and if a change in State law did not occur, the cities in question would have a strong incentive to seek a change in their electrical service provider. To the extent that cities were successful, City Light would see a diminished customer base and the City of Seattle would lose a//of the utility taxes it collects from those customers. Very recently, a watchdog group of Seattle residents sued City Light in an effort to, among other things, end City Light payments to neighboring cities like Burien. In recent years, the same group has successfully sued City Light over a number of uses of City Light revenues. Their argument in this case (and past cases) is that these are inappropriate and illegal uses of utility revenues. If successful, it appears that three potential outcomes are possible: 1. Affected cities could lobby the State Legislature for a change in the law which would allow cities to tax revenues generated City Light and Tacoma Power, or to require in-lieu-of payments from Seattle or Tacoma. 2. Affected cities could seek to change their electric service provider in an attempt to keep the utility taxes generated within the City. 3. The City of Seattle, itself, could negotiate payments to neighboring cities. In effect, this would mean that Seattle would have to split the utility taxes it collects in neighboring cities. Given the choice between splitting revenues and losing them entirely, it would appear that Alternative 3 would be a likely scenario. Faced with the prospect of sharing utility tax revenues or losing them altogether, Seattle would be likely to share the revenues. Local Sales Tax For many cities in Washington State, tax dollars generated by the local portion of the retail sales and use tax are the single largest source of city revenues. In 2004, cities in Washington received an average of$180 per resident in local sales tax revenues.With many of these dollars concentrated in a IBERK & ASSOCIATESI Page20 City of Renton Annexation Analysis:West Hill handful of larger cities, however, the median city in the state received a far lower $97 per resident. By comparison, Renton generated approximately $185 in local sales tax dollars per resident in 2004. Retail sales tax is calculated as a percentage of the sale price of tangible personal property (with the exception of groceries and prescription medicine) and many services purchased by consumers. Beyond its application to tangible personal property, sales tax is also applied to items such as telephone service; the installation, repair, or cleaning of tangible personal property; and to the construction or improvement of new or existing buildings, including labor and services provided throughout the process. Of the 8.8% sales tax currently collected in the City and the potential annexation areas, a 1% "local" tax accrues to local jurisdictions. In the unincorporated area the full 1% local tax accrues to King County (with the exception a small portion that is retained by the State Department of Revenue to cover collection and distribution costs). If the transaction location is within a city like Renton, the city receives 85% of the 1% local tax and the County receives 15%. Combined, the three contemplated annexation areas would generate roughly $374,000 of sales tax revenue for the City. The sales tax revenues would range from $23 per capita, for Areas 1 and 2, to $30 per capita for Area 3. Major Costs Police Services At a total cost of$3.3 million, the provision of police services represents more than a third of the total operating costs the City would incur if it annexed West Hill. Compared to other allocations of service demand (and hence service costs) we estimate that police costs will be more heavily concentrated in Study Area 3 (Skyway), which has a history of higher demand for police services and higher concentrations of uses that typically drive police service demand (more retail and other commercial activity, casinos, more multifamily housing, and more renter-occupied housing). Based on statistical modeling of hundreds of cities in Washington State (which derives demand for police staffing from the unique mix of characteristics of each city), and based on Renton's current level of service, Berk & Associates estimates that annexation of all three areas would increase the need for commissioned officers by 170/0 above current police staffing levels in the City of Renton. With Berk's demand model as a starting point, the Renton Police Department assessed the logistical demands of policing West Hill and estimated that the Department would need to create two additional patrol districts in West Hill. All together, the Department estimates that serving West Hill will require a combined 20% increase in staffing, adding 27 full-time-equivalent positions to the Department. Allocations of costs presented in Table 2 are based on the relative share of demand generated from Berk & Associates' statistical model. In practical terms, however, Area 2 is expected to generate only a small portion of demand for police services. Given this low demand, and given the logistical requirements of policing Area 3, it is likely that if the City has committed to policing Area 3, the momBERK & ASSOC Page21 City of Renton Annexation Analysis:West Hill incremental costs of policing Area 2 would be quite small—even smaller than the $358,000 cost • included in Table 2. • Fire and Emergency Medical Services The estimated costs Renton would incur to provide fire and emergency medical services (EMS) in the contemplated annexation areas is based on the City's 2005 budgeted costs of providing service, multiplied by the estimated additional demand for fire staffing that the contemplated annexation areas would have introduced in the same year. Based on smaller land area, lower population, and close proximity to Renton's current fire stations, if only Study Areas 1 and 2 were annexed to the City, the assumption is that Renton Fire Department would continue to serve these areas out of its existing fire stations, marginally increasing demand for staffing and support services. However, given the distance between the City's existing stations and the far reaches of Area 2, providing fire services to all of Area 2 would be difficult at best. This means that, absent annexation of the Skyway Fire Station, it would probably not be feasible for the City to annex and serve a//of Areas 1 and 2. If Renton were to annex all of West Hill, the Fire Department indicates that it would close the Bryn Mawr Station (which is old, small, and not necessary for effective provision of fire and EMS services) and would service the area from the existing Skyway Fire Station. The fire service costs for annexation of Area 3 would be significantly higher as evidenced in Table 2. These expenditures were estimated based on conversations with Renton Fire Department and an assumption that staffing for one engine and one aid car would be located at the Skyway Station. Currently, Fire District 20 staffs West Hill with a small number of full-time firefighters, while rounding out their staffing with volunteers. This means that, depending on the time of day, staffing at the two stations varies from a low of three or four during the day (enough to staff an engine) to higher levels in the evenings (enough to staff one or more engines and an aid car). Renton's approach would be to staff the Skyway Fire Station with five positions 24 hours a day, seven days a week, enough to staff an engine and an aid car, and rely on the City's other stations for backup. This would typically mean that Renton would bring greater capacity to respond to emergencies during the day, while Fire District 20's staffing levels allow slightly greater capacity in the evenings. (Typically, fire departments might expect to see their greatest demand between 9:00 in the morning and 9:00 at night.) It is worth noting that Fire District 20 currently maintains lean staffing during parts of the day (times that are typically considered peak demand hours) and residents of West Hill report that they are very satisfied with the service they receive. As with police services, Area 2 is expected to generate only a small portion of demand for fire and EMS services. Given this low demand, and given the requirements of staffing the Skyway Fire Station, it is likely that, if the City has committed to providing fire and EMS services to Area 3, the incremental costs of serving Area 2 would be quite small—substantially smaller then the $270,000 cost included in Table 2. Public Works The core public works functions that are included in the summary of operating impacts include those operating functions that are funded out of the City's General and Street funds. In total, provision of ! BERK & ASSOCIATES1 Page22 City of Renton Annexation Analysis:West Hill these services in the contemplated annexation areas is estimated to cost the City slightly more than $1.7 million. This Department is comprised of the following divisions and their respective budgets: Development Services ($600,000), Maintenance Services ($627,000), Transportation Systems ($344,000), and Utility Systems ($84,000). Community Services Among the three contemplated annexation areas, only study Areas 1 and 3 (Bryn Mawr and Skyway, respectively), currently include park facilities. Area 1 includes Bryn Mawr Park (4.81 acres), which would be classified as a passive park (Table 3). Area 3 has Skyway Park, consisting of 23.08 acres which offers athletic fields and open play areas and would be classified as an active park. In relation to all three study areas combined, these parks provide the residents of West Hill with 2.0 acres of parks per 1,000 residents,with an emphasis on active parks. King County Library System's Skyway Library is located in Area 3, and Renton indicated that it would transition this branch into its library system if it annexed Area 3.The cost of operating and maintaining the Library would be approximately $350,000 annually. However, if Renton proceeds with annexing Areas 1 and/or 2 only, the City may not have to bear this cost, under the assumption that the residents of these areas will continue to use the KCLS' Skyway Library. The King County Library System is currently planning to build a new 8,000 square foot Skyway Library in 2011. Representatives at King County are currently working with KCLS to ensure that the new library will be completed even if the area annexes to Renton. Skyway Library is highly valued by residents and businesses in West Hill, and ensuring construction of the new library is likely to be a necessary condition for any successful vote for annexation. In total, community services costs would total approximately $1.2 million if all three West Hill study areas were annexed at the same time. Since Area 3 includes the library and most of the park acreage, Area 3 is associated with the majority of community services costs ($930,000). The remaining $230,000 of estimated community services costs is split between study Areas 1 and 2. These costs are mostly driven by demand for recreation services, which in turn are driven by the population base. The costs for community services for Area 1 are almost $150,000, accounting for a passive Bryn Mawr park located there.

Overall, West Hill has 50.1 miles of roads whose maintenance would become the responsibility of the City upon annexation.

The Roads Division convened a 14-member citizen advisory group toreview and make recommendations about pedestrian, bike and traffic safety improvements in the West Hill area. The study acknowledged the significant change the West Hill area had seen, with increases in al IBERK & ASSOCIATESI Page25 itre NM, City of Renton Annexation Analysis:West Hill population and housing density and sought the perspectives of West Hill residents' priorities. As noted in the table below, a capital project was created from the Division's Neighborhood Enhancement Program (NEP)for improvements. The group's recommendations for prioritizing these funds were four-fold: 1. Implement King County Road Services Division's recommended solutions in high-priority areas and as suggested by the advisory group (included 11 priority pedestrian walkway projects and four additional projects to be included if funding is available). 2. Use all available funding sources to extend and expand the number of projects that can be accomplished,with an accompanying list of projects (primarily focused on pedestrian safety). 3. Keep a strong focus on major corridor concerns, sidewalk, drainage ditches and speeding in the neighborhood, particularly on Rainier Avenue south, MLK Boulevard and Renton Avenue. 4. Study five areas to evaluate the feasibility of recommended improvements: Rainier Avenue South, Renton Avenue South, Renton Avenue South Business District, South 129' Street and Interstate Access, and pedestrian and bicycle circulation. From this set of recommendations the County's Transportation Needs Report (TNR) was also updated in 2004. The TNR identifies and plans for major capital investment needs for the roadways located in the unincorporated area of King County projected for 2022 and analyzes the County's ability to meet those needs within the revenues projected to be available to fund the County's capital projects over the same time period. It is in annually adopting the Roads Six-Year CIP that decisions are made about which of those projects will be constructed in the near-term six years. For West Hill, the TNR identifies a total need of $8.2 million in roads improvements. Each project is assigned a priority within four levels (high, medium, low, and to-be-determined). Most of the projects are assigned a low priority or "to be determined" priority. High-priority projects total $358,000 for pedestrian and signalization improvements in the following areas: • S 126th St from Renton Ave S to 74th PI S; • 78th Ave S from S 128th to S Langston; and • Rainier Ave S from 57th Ave S to SW Grady Way. Planned and Funded Road Improvements The table below identifies the current King County Capital Improvement Plan roads projects funded for West Hill. Major investments total nearly $700,000 in 2005 and $500,000 in 2006,with a primary focus on "quick response" projects identified in the West Hill Advisory Group Report, South 132'd Street, and pedestrian improvements. At least half of the projects referenced represent the project's share of countywide debt service and do not represent actual capital investments.

Surface Water Management Facilities King County Division of Water and Land Resources reports that 18 privately owned drainage facilities, and 11 (County-maintained) residential drainage facilities exist in the West Hill area. Of the publicly- BERK & ASSOCIATES , Page27 City of Renton Annexation Analysis:West Hill maintained surface water facilities (e.g. retention ponds, tanks or ditches), four are located in Area 1 and six are in Area 3. King County currently manages three types of SWM capital projects in West Hill, with costs that vary up to $100,000 each year depending on the demand for drainage assistance projects. 1. Drainage assistance projects which arise from drainage complaints. These are one-by- one "fixes" that are identified based on a complaint, investigated, and affect three or more properties or are the result of upstream development. Project investments could range from $1,000 to $70,000. 2. West Hill Drainage Projects capital project. This is a capital project that contains a small amount of funding to provide new culverts, ditches, and efforts needed to maintain the public right-of-way. Investments made through this project have slowed considerably in recent years because projects are contingent on landowners' acceptance which has not been received. 3. Maintenance of three regional retention/detention facility ponds (also known as "R&D" projects by the Division). These three stormwater facilities are located at South 123rd St. & 84d' Avenue S; South 112nd St. & 82nd Avenue South; and inside the boundaries of Skyway Park. The County took ownership of these facilities when new developments came on-line, and Renton would be responsible for maintaining them upon annexation. Historically, the Water and Land Resources Division has funded seven neighborhood drainage capital projects,all relatively low-cost (below the threshold level of investment needed to warrant the creation of a capital project). The Division has not identified or funded any critical surface water management needs or projects in the recent past, and none are identified for the future. In addition, King County has no plans to construct curb and gutter storm drain infrastructure, which is considered an urban service. Likewise, the Utility System Director and Planning/Building/Public Works Department has indicated that Renton does not have plans to construct drainage infrastructure in the City and would maintain existing drainage facilities and respond to complaints and emergent needs by prioritizing and funding projects in keeping with Renton Utilities' prioritization and funding process. Parks&Recreation Facilities King County currently operates and maintains two parks in the West Hill area: • Skyway Park, located at South 1210th and 70th Place South: 23.08 acres including 3 baseball fields, 2 barbecue facilities, a bridge, a football field, a soccer field, restroom, tennis courts and sport courts, open playfields, picnic shelter and play equipment. • Bryn Mawr Park, located at 118th & 80th Avenue South: 4.81 acres of open space with no facilities. King County has no planned or historic capital investments in either park, and states that there are no unfunded capital needs for the parks. 111 BERK & ASSOCIATES ' Page28 � v.r City of Renton Annexation Analysis:West Hill In the City of Renton, parks that receive high public use, with tennis courts, formal play fields, playgrounds and substantial parking receive larger shares of the budget than those containing only play fields, and require more capital maintenance. Nearly 28 new acres of park land would be added to Renton's current 1,008 acres, representing slightly less than 3% of Renton's park lands. It is unlikely that the City of Renton would change the classification of these parks or make major capital investments in either park (except for a future investment in field conditioning or replacement of the play equipment which would likely be included in the City's parks major maintenance budget). Finally, the community center in West Hill represents a potential capital cost to Renton, but far in the future. Skyway Community Center/Boys & Girls Club facility, located at 12400 80th Avenue South, is co-located with Dimmitt Middle School. The facility is owned by King County, and leased for 15 years, through the year 2018, to the Boys & Girls Clubs of King County, which maintains and operates the facility. King County would retain ownership of the asset for the life of the lease. At that time, the disposition of this facility would likely be negotiated between the King County and the City of Renton. Upon annexation, it is not expected that this facility would present any capital cost burden to the City of Renton. Utilities Finally, there are roughly 350 households that are in an area of West Hill not currently served by the Skyway Water and Sewer District. The City of Renton has entered into an agreement stating that, in the event of annexation, the City would be the provider who would ultimately extend water and sewer service to these unserved areas. Upon annexation, when the time comes to extend water and sewer service to unserved areas, the City will face the decision of who bears the cost of that extension. The costs could be borne by the owners of the added properties, or the costs could be borne by ratepayers across the city. Capital Revenues Generated in West Hill From three revenue sources, Renton could expect to generate up to $900,000 in annual revenues to support capital projects from three sources: the business license fee, real estate excise tax, and surface water management fees. Business License Fee The City of Renton's policy is to dedicate business license fee revenues (paid by businesses based on the number of employees) to capital expenditures. Based on the complement of businesses in West Hill today, this revenue source would generate approximately $47,000 in revenues that could support capital projects. Real Estate Excise Tax The three contemplated annexation areas would be expected to generate $504,000 in Real Estate Excise Tax (REED revenues, as shown below by area. BERK & ASSOCIATESI Page29 City of Renton Annexation Analysis: West Hill Table 7 Estimated Real Estate Excise Tax Revenue from West Hill (2005 dollars) Study Area REET Revenue 1 $146,000 2 $87,000 3 $271,000 Total $504,000 Source:Berk&Associates analysis REET revenues are statutorily restricted in their use to the funding of narrowly defined sets of capital expenditures and are not included in our calculation of operating revenues available to defray the day- to-day costs of providing governmental services, but these revenues would be available for capital projects. Estimated REET revenues reflect the average value of real estate transactions in each study area over the past five years. In addition to existing REET authority, the Washington State Legislature expects to consider legislation in the coming session that would create a new 0.4% Real Estate Excise Tax that would replace mitigation fees for cities that choose to make the switch. If enacted, the new tax would generate another $400,000 per year in West Hill, further bolstering the areas' ability to finance capital investments. Surface Water Management(SWM)Fees Based on Renton's surface water utility rates for single family and commercial users, the three study areas combined would generate roughly $387,000 in surface water fees each year; all of these revenues would be used to cover the operating costs of maintaining non-roadway facilities, or for capital or other SWM-related uses. IBERK & ASSOCIATESI Page30 New City of Renton Annexation Analysis:West Hill • Long-Run Fiscal Impacts As has been established in the discussion of current operating impacts, annexation of West Hill will introduce annual costs to the City of Renton's operating budget. Having clarified short-term costs, the next question is: What is likely to change in the future?If Renton annexes West Hill, looking 20 years into the future, is West Hill's fiscal role likely to be one of improving the City's fiscal sustainability? Or, is West Hill likely to remain a net absorber of City resources? Given existing fiscal challenges, Renton's strongest fiscal engine for the future is likely to be growth in retail sales taxes. Among the City's three major tax sources: (1) property taxes, (2) sales taxes, and (3) utility taxes, only retail sales tax is likely to grow at a rate of 50/0 or more (a rate of growth the City will probably need in order to maintain current levels of service). If retail sales tax is the engine of City revenue growth (and if the City does not mitigate the eroding effects of 1-747 through levy lid lifts) then a//of the City's residential neighborhoods (including West Hill) are likely to become a greater net cost to the City in the long run. One force that will strengthen the contribution of residential neighborhoods as a whole are proposed sales tax sourcing rule changes that will allow cities to collect sales taxes on delivered goods based on the point of delivery (as opposed to the current practice of taxing them based on the point of origin). Looking farther into the future, interstate taxation of delivered goods (purchased through the internet or via catalog) would further strengthen the value of residential neighborhoods to a city's tax base. Other factors that are specific to West Hill include: 1. Potential shifts in Renton's ability to collect electric utility taxes in West Hill (see discussion below); and 2. Potential for improved competitiveness of West Hill's commercial center on Renton Avenue. If Renton does secure levy lid lifts in future years to mitigate the impacts of 1-747, then higher-than- average property value increases in West Hill could generate significant revenue growth. One large potential risk the City faces revolves around the prospect that, at some point in the future, one or both of West Hill's casinos could close, reducing revenues to the City by$1 million. While many uncertainties exist, scenarios do exist that would suggest that the revenue shortfall in West Hill could narrow by, perhaps, as much as a million dollars in coming years. Such a scenario would include implementation of taxation on interstate purchases (accompanied by trends towards more internet purchase); levy lid lifts to forestall the eroding effects of 1-747 on the City's property tax levy; above average increases in West Hill property values, and a change in Renton's ability to tax electric utility revenues in West Hill. Negative scenarios would include some combination of no levy lid lifts (resulting in continued erosion in Renton's levy rate), poor property appreciation in West Hill relative to the rest of the City, and/or eventual closure of West Hill's casinos. IM ' BERK & ASSOCIATES ! Page31 Orr. City of Renton Annexation Analysis:West Hill A Framework for Looking Ahead A 20-year future forecast for a City like Renton will contain a great deal of risk and uncertainty. On one hand, the City will continue to grow as it annexes areas to the east. This growth will introduce new streams of revenue and new sources of cost. In most cases, at the time of annexation, new areas will represent service demands, and therefore costs, for the City. On the other hand, the City also expects to undergo massive change through redevelopment over time. It is possible, perhaps even probable, that most of Renton's commercial center will look completely different in twenty years. The assessed value of downtown Renton could easily double in coming decades as entire areas of the City shift from underutilized residential or commercial land to high-value commercial or residential. This redevelopment can be expected to bring with it strong growth in property tax revenues, retail sales taxes, utility taxes, and business license fees. Adding even more to the complexity are questions of tax structure. If left unchecked, 1-747 limits on property taxes could erode Renton's property tax base to the point that property taxes will become a relatively unimportant component of the City's revenue stream. Since property taxes are the major revenue source that Renton receives from residential neighborhood, this could mean that any residential neighborhood would become a net cost to the City. On the other hand, implementation of Sales Tax Streamlining, changes in sourcing rules, and the potential taxation of interstate internet commerce could increase revenues from residential neighborhoods, particularly high-value housing. With all of these moving parts, we believe that the best way understand how West Hill's fiscal contribution to Renton is likely to change in the future is to (1) look at the likely growth in costs Renton will be facing in coming decades; (2) look at the likely engines of Renton's revenue growth in the future; and (3) look at how a changing West Hill is likely to fit into that picture. Potential Shifts in Service Costs Over the long term, Renton, like any other city in the country, should expect to see high rates of growth in the costs of providing governmental services. The cost of government services are largely driven by costs of labor, and for the foreseeable future, the costs of labor can be expected to increase faster than the core rate of inflation. The principal drivers of this growth are (1) rapid growth in the cost of health care and health insurance, and (2) productivity increases in the private sector, which drive increases in the marginal value (and cost) of labor. Given trends towards redevelopment of property in areas radiating out from downtown Seattle (including redevelopment in southeastern Seattle), one can expect neighborhoods in West Hill to see increased investment in coming decades. With this increased investment, one could also expect to see decreased levels of demand for services such as police and fire services. Ultimately, however, given the logistics of providing police and fire services to West Hill, it is hard to envision any substantial reduction in the staffing levels in the Skyway Fire Station or in West Hill patrol districts. Demand for services that reflect a community's quality of life, such as parks,would be expected to increase. 110 1BERK & ASSOCIATES1 Page32 City of Renton Annexation Analysis:West Hill What all of this means is that West Hill's costs of service are likely to increase at the same rate as costs increase throughout the remainder of the City. This means that the question of whether West Hill continues to be a drain on City resources lies with questions of revenue generation. Potential Shifts in Revenue Generation Given expected growth in City service costs, if the City of Renton wants to maintain current levels of service it will probably need to generate 50/0 more in revenues each year (again, not including revenues that come from population growth). Given recent history, revenue growth of 5% or more is possible for the City. Most of the contributions to Renton's revenue growth will need to come from three sources: • Retail sales tax: Over the past 12 years, retail sales tax has been the principal engine of Renton's revenue growth, growing at an average annual rate of 6%. In order to maintain this level of growth, Renton will need to continue to capture a large portion of retail expenditures in south King County. Although the City faces challenges, potential for redevelopment of key commercial areas offers the City opportunities to continue rapid retail growth. • Property taxes: In a world of 1-747 limits on property tax growth, growth in Renton's property taxes will likely be dictated by (1) the 1% nominal growth allowed under 1-747; (2) the value of renovations and redevelopment (which might average between 1% and 2% of the City's assessed value each year); and (3) added value from City growth—either through construction or annexation. For purposes of this discussion, revenue growth from factors 1 and 2 will drive core revenue growth. Combining the two factors suggests that the City's core property tax growth will probably range between 2% and 30/0 each year. • The one method available to Renton for increasing property tax revenues at higher rates is to commit to seeking "levy lid lifts" from City voters. If voters were to approve a series of levy lid lifts that allowed the City to maintain its current levy rate over the coming years, then property tax revenues from "built" areas of the City could increase at a much faster rate (driven by overall increases in property values). • Utility taxes: Utility taxes in Renton currently generate roughly $10 million per year, which represents a little less than 20% of the City's tax revenue. From 1994 through 2003, per-resident utility tax revenues in the City have increased at an average annual rate of 3.6%. This suggests that utility taxes as a share of City revenues are likely to slightly outpace property taxes (absent a levy lid lift) but they are unlikely to keep pace with growth in retail sales taxes. 111 I BERK & ASSOCIATES ! Page33 City of Renton Annexation Analysis:West Hill West Hill's Impact Retail Sales Taxes West Hill has one community commercial center on Renton Avenue that currently generates relatively little retail sales tax. This retail center faces a number of challenges: • It is bisected by geography and high-voltage transmission lines,which makes it difficult for the area to generate any critical mass of activity; • The commercial center has received little support from any governmental economic development entity; and • Its core market area (perhaps 10,000 to 12,000 people) is populated by two different demographic concentrations: (1) relatively affluent households in Lakeridge and Bryn Mawr, and (2) lower-income households in neighborhoods more removed from Lake Washington. Many retail outlets, including grocery stores, find it difficult to simultaneously serve its base market of lower-income households and at the same time, attract higher income households from the ridge. If Renton were to annex West Hill, and if the area were to continue to redevelop, one could expect the performance of West Hill's commercial center to improve in coming years. A combination of local governmental support from the City and a potential narrowing of the demographic gap in the area could be expected to result in a more vibrant community commercial center. However, even a relatively strong neighborhood commercial center in West Hill will generate only modest sales tax revenues (perhaps in the range of $400,000 [compared with perhaps $150,000 generated in the center currently], or $30 per West Hill resident)]. Moreover, from Renton's perspective, it is important to bear in mind that many of the people who live in West Hill already do a portion of their shopping in Renton. This means that, as a neighborhood of Renton, a $1 million increase in taxable sales in West Hill does not translate into a $1 million net gain to the City taxable sales as a whole. Under a scenario where West Hill's commercial center was to increase taxable retail sales by $250,000 per year, one could envision that $100,000 of those additional revenues would be new revenues to the City. Property Taxes Given recent redevelopment trends in southeast Seattle, particularly in areas that enjoy views; given worsening congestion on Puget Sound highways; and given the access that West Hill has to centers of employment growth in downtown Seattle and South Lake Union, one could expect West Hill to see substantial redevelopment in years to come. A review of residential property transactions in the past 11 years shows a clear concentration of properties radiating out from downtown Seattle that have seen annual valuation increases of 120/0 or more between property sales (see Figure 3). These concentrations of rapid valuation growth probably have two causes: � BERK & ASSOCIATES ' Page34 City of Renton Annexation Analysis:West Hill 1'. The areas in question have been the areas in the Puget Sound region that have seen the greatest general price appreciation over the past decade; and 2. As older neighborhoods, the areas of rapid value growth have been prime areas for housing renovation and redevelopment. In other words, if someone bought a house in 1995, renovated the house, and then resold it in 2002, then one would expect the increase in value to be very high. If one looks at the map in Figure 3, it appears that West Hill in general, and the neighborhoods of Lakeridge and Bryn Mawr in particular are in line to see valuation increases in the coming decade. As has been true in southeast Seattle, these increases in values are likely to be accompanied by renovation and redevelopment of residential neighborhoods. In southeast Seattle neighborhoods around Rainier Beach and Seward Park, recent years of renovation and redevelopment have resulted in "new" assessed value averaging in the range of 1% to 2% of existing assessed value per year. If West Hill were to achieve "new" assessed value equal to 2% of existing value, then that growth, combined with the 1% growth in revenues allowed by 1-747 would result in property tax growth of roughly 3% per year. This level of growth would probably be enough to keep pace with property tax growth in the remainder of Renton, but it would probably not be enough to keep property tax from slowly eroding as a revenue source for the City. If, however, Renton were to pursue a program of securing regular levy lid lifts, then it is possible that strong growth in property values in West Hill would generate substantial increases in net revenues from the area. Many possible scenarios exist, but if existing property in West Hill was to increase in value at an average annual rate of 7% per year, while properties in the remainder of Renton were to increase at a slightly lower rate of 5% or 6% per year, then over time, West Hill would become a much more important source of City property tax revenues (assuming, again, that the City secured levy lid lifts that allowed the City's levy rate to remain at or near current levels). If the City did not secure levy lid lifts, then 1-747 limits would prevent the City from benefiting from property value increases in West Hill. Instead, faster growth in values in West Hill would end up reducing City property taxes for other Renton property owners.An illustrative example: If values of existing properties in West Hill were to increase by 7% per year, while properties in the remainder of Renton increased at 5%, absent levy lid lifts, Renton would still see the same growth in revenues (the growth dictated by 1-747 limits). However, the faster-value growth in West Hill would drive down levy rates more quickly—an additional $0.10 in ten years—and would result in Renton homeowner saving roughly $50 in property taxes (for a house valued at $300,000 now, and $500,000 ten years from now).

Other Potential Impacts Other developments in West Hill, or in municipal fiscal structure, could affect West Hill's future contribution to Renton's fiscal strength. • Sales Tax Streamlining/Sourcing Rule Changes: Changes in sales tax sourcing rules that have been proposed by the Washington State Department of Revenue will create winners and losers among cities. The State's current sourcing rules determine the point of sale for many delivered goods to be the origin of delivery. Proposed rule changes (designed to pave the way for taxation of interstate retail sales through the internet or catalog) would change the point of sale for such delivered goods to the place of delivery. The expected impact of the rule change will be loss of sales tax revenues generated from warehouses, industrial uses, and other originators of delivered goods and an increase in sales tax revenues for recipients of delivered goods (households, most offices, hospitals, etc.). Current estimated impacts suggest that changes in sourcing rules will have a net negative impact on the City of Renton. However, changes in sourcing will definitely have a positive impact on sales tax revenue generation in West Hill. Looking far into the future, it is hard to forecast what people's purchasing habits might be, but one can imagine that high-income households could become significant generators of sales tax revenues. If a household were to have $10,000 of goods delivered, then that household would generate roughly$85 in additional city sales taxes. • Electric Utility Tax/Payment: As discussed previously, the working assumption of West Hill revenue estimates is that City Light or the City of Seattle would negotiate an agreement with Renton to, in effect, split the electric utility taxes that Seattle now collects from West Hill residents and would continue to collect upon annexation. If, however, the current legal challenge to those payments is successful, then a variety of developments are possible. It would appear that two potential paths would strengthen Renton's ability to collect utility tax revenues in West Hill: 1. The State Legislature could change the current statute that allows Seattle and Tacoma to levy utility taxes on electric customers outside Seattle and Tacoma boundaries and, instead, allow cities like Renton to tax those utility revenues (or receive an in-lieu-of payment from the utility); or 2. The City of Renton could seek to change electric service providers in West Hill, presumably to Puget Sound Energy, which would allow the City to levy its existing 6% tax on electric utility revenues. Either of these scenarios would probably increase revenues generated in West Hill by roughly $200,000. in BERK & ASSOCIATESI Page37 City of Renton Annexation Analysis:West Hill • Gambling Taxes: Gambling taxes from West Hill's two casinos are estimated to generate more • than $1 million in revenues for the City. If those two casinos were to ever close, then the net cost of extending City services to West Hill would increase by that amount. IM NENIBERK & ASSOCIATES !

Representatives of the Renton Police Department provided estimates of the staffing that would be required to extend Renton's existing levels of police services to each of the study areas. For assessment of the additional demand for service that Renton Police would see upon annexation of each of the study areas, Berk&Associates relied on (1) comparisons of the relative level of commercial activity among the existing City of Renton and each of the three study areas (as measured in terms of non-Services employment [with non-Services employment defined as private-sector employment for all employment sectors except for the Finance, Insurance, Real Estate, and Services sector]) and (2) comparisons between the demographic characteristics of the residential bases in Renton and each of the three 111 BERK & ASSOCIATESI Page40 City of Renton Annexation Analysis:West Hill populated study areas. • Among households in each of the study areas, estimates of police demand are based on differences in housing unit type and tenure, distinguishing between households who live in (1) owner-occupied single-family homes, (2) renter-occupied single-family homes, (3) owner-occupied multifamily, (4) renter-occupied multifamily, and (5) mobile homes. Estimates of the relative contribution of each of these segments to police demand is based on a series of statistical analyses in which Berk and Associates assessed the fundamental characteristics and experiences of more than 100 cities across Washington State to identify the "typical" contribution to police demand driven by each residential category. These "typical" contributions were then scaled to match with Renton's experience. As is true for all cost estimates, the cost basis for estimating the costs of extending police services is the City of Renton's budgeted 2005 expenditures for Police Services as reported in the City of Renton 2005 Adopted Budget (budgeted at$15,956,800). B Estimates of fire expenditures represent a combination of (1) discussions with Renton Fire Department staff, and (2) Berk&Associates forecasts of the incremental increase in the demand for service that Renton Fire Department should expect given the 2005 population and number of employees of the areas of analysis. C Expenditures for the Planning, Building and Public Works (PBPW) are based on the combination of estimates of operating expenditures for the Administration, Development Services, Maintenance,Transportation Systems and Utility Systems Divisions of the Department. The estimates of the incremental increase in PBPW activity are based on comparisons of various driver values to current City value,as described in notes D through G below. Administrative expenditures are based on the additional demand for services for each study area, multiplied by 2005 budgeted expenditures of$363,700. D Estimated Development Services expenditures represent the pro-rata share of expenditures based on the incremental increase in assessed valuation associated with annexation of each of the three study areas. This comparison of assessed valuation results in the following incremental increases by study area. Study Area 1 Study Area 2 Study Area 3 6.5% 4.9% 7.8% It is worth noting that, although certain study areas may not introduce substantial demand for community development services in the short term,trends in development activity can change over time. Since a portion of the costs of the Building and Planning divisions of the Department of j El 1 BERK & ASSOCIATES Page41 City of Renton Annexation Analysis:West Hill Community Development are partially covered by building and planning fees, any over- or understatement of planning and building service costs would be mitigated by a • proportionate, parallel shift in fee revenues. E Since Maintenance Services division encompasses Streets/Bridges/Sidewalks maintenance, ( the costs are based on the comparisons of study area lane miles to current City lane miles, implying the following incremental increases in expenditures by study area: Study Area 1 Study Area 2 Study Area 3 7.60/0 4.5% 9.80/0 F i Transportation Systems division is responsible for transportation planning, traffic operations, traffic maintenance and transportation design & construction functions.These functions were examined separately and the following drivers were used in estimating the costs for each study area: land area and lane miles. Additionally,the expense of maintenance and electricity for West Hill traffic lights and luminaires was included in the total cost estimate for each study area.The following is an inventory of traffic lights and luminaires by area: Traffic Lights Luminaires Area 1 1 43 Area 2 0 5 Area 3 8 151 Total 9 199 Source:King County and City of Renton Transportation design and construction function is financed by capital funds as well as federal and state grants,thus it is excluded from the estimate of Transportation Systems costs. G Utility Systems division is mostly an internal service fund,with costs already loaded in the other departments' budgets, and as such, it is excluded from the operating cost estimates. However,Technical Services function (property management services for the City, as well as mapping, GIS, surveying and data management services, etc.) of the division is almost completely financed from the General Fund and is budgeted at$477,502 in the City of Renton 2005 Adopted Budget.The operating costs of this function are estimated based on the increase in overall land area that would be introduced by annexation of each of the three study areas.The remaining budget for Technical Services, $56,698, comes from the utility enterprise funds and is excluded from this analysis. innI BERK & ASSOCIATESI Page42 City of Renton Annexation Analysis:West Hill H i Estimated Community Services expenditures represent the (1) anticipated expenditures for maintaining 27.89 acres of neighborhood parks in Study Areas 1 and 3 and providing • recreation services to residents of the three study areas; (2) anticipated cost of providing library service if 3 were annexed; (3) costs of development and management of City's facilities; and (4) forecasted expenditures for provision of human services. Parks maintenance expenditures are driven by the assumed increase in active and passive • park acres that would be introduced by annexation of each of the three study areas. As mentioned before,Area 1 contains 4.81-acre Bryn Mawr park,which has been classified as passive by King County;and Area 3 includes 23.08 acre Skyway park, which has playground equipment and athletic fields and is classified for active use. Area 2 does not contain any parks or open spaces. Recreation costs represent estimated 20% of the budgeted 2005 City of Renton expenditures of$1,297,300 ($1,898,900 for the Recreation Services division less $601,600 for Aquatic Center), based on conversation with Renton's Recreation Services staff. It is logical to use estimated incremental demand based on population of the study • • areas as compared to the City of Renton,which would total approximately 25%for all of • West Hill. However, since according to the Recreation Services division, recreational services • • are already being extensively used by the West Hill population, applying 20% of incremental demand was more reflective of the true expenditures Renton would encounter should it annex the study areas. Estimates of parks, recreation and cultural service expenditures assume that the Community Center, Senior Center, and Maplewood Golf course would see no fiscal impact from annexation given that they already serve the populations of the three study areas. Estimates of library costs are based on population served, but are assumed to only take effect if the City annexes Area 3 and, therefore,takes over the Skyway Library. Estimates of facility costs are based on square footage of City-owned buildings,which is assumed to be 11,500 square feet for Skyway Library and the Skyway Fire Station. The expenditures for Human Services division of Community services are estimated by allocating Renton's 2005 budgeted costs to each city resident and assuming that those costs will increase proportionally with increases in the City's population base. This study excluded any assessment of impacts on the City's Community Development Block Grant(CDBG) Fund. If the City were to pursue annexation of any of the West Hill study areas,that annexation would increase the City's share of CDBG allocations, and the City would put those additional revenues to work much as it uses current Block Grants. Presumably, however, these changes would have no impact on the City's General Fund obligations. IBERK & ASSOC IATES1 Page43 City of Renton Annexation Analysis:West Hill The City of Renton's Administrative, Judicial and Legal services expenditures include expenditures for public-safety-related activities, including hearing examiner and court services.Another portion of Administrative,Judicial and Legal services expenditures go to general city activities including city attorney services, city clerk and mayor's office. Estimated expenditures for the pub/ic-safety-related legal expenditures (with a 2005 budgeted costs basis of$1,567,400) are allocated to the study areas based on estimates of the additional police service demand that will be introduced by each area (see Note A). These additions to demand for the five study areas are as follows: Study Area 1 Study Area 2 Study Area 3 5.3% 1.9% 1 0.0% Expenditures for the non-public-safety-related expenditures (budgeted at$2,415,700) are estimated based on the estimated overall increase in City staffing levels. Study Area 1 Study Area 2 Study Area 3 3.2% 1.5% 7.5% J Estimated finance and information services expenditures represent the pro-rata share of expenditures based on based on the estimated overall increase in City staffing levels. Estimated finance and information services expenditures represent 2005 budgeted expenditures of$3,444,400 multiplied by the incremental demand in each study area documented in Note I above. K Like the non-public-safety-related component of Administrative, Judicial and Legal services, estimates of additional expenditures for human resources and risk management services are estimated to increase based on the estimated overall increase in City staffing levels. L Estimated expenditures for economic development services are driven by the incremental increase in economic development activity based on comparisons of study area commercial square footage to current City commercial square footage, implying the following incremental increases in expenditures by study area. Study Area 1 Study Area 2 Study Area 3 1.6% 0.2% 3.5% Another component of economic development expenditures is Neighborhood programs, currently budgeted at$50,000 per year for the City of Renton. It is appropriate to allocate Renton's 2005 budgeted costs to each city resident and assume that those costs will increase proportionally with increases in the City's population base. Study Area 1 Study Area 2 Study Area 3 7.9% 4.2% 13.0% IBERK & ASSOCIATESI Page44 o.. V.r City of Renton Annexation Analysis:West Hill M Estimated expenditures for legislative department are based on 2005 budgeted expenditures of$220,100.This estimate is assumes that a portion of the Legislative Department will be unaffected by annexation, but costs of remaining support functions will increase with the estimated overall increase in City staffing levels. N Staff-related facility costs reflect the annualized cost of City Hall, maintenance facilities, and other City facilities that will be needed to house additional staff. For cities who own their facilities, it is unusual to think of facilities costs in terms of an annual cost, but these costs are included in the analysis in an attempt to capture the full costs of services. The City may have excess capacity in existing facilities, or the City could choose to capitalize these costs by assuming greater capital expenditures up front. In that case, many if not all of the costs could be eliminated from the annual cost estimate. Estimated costs assume annual costs of$5,000 per employee. For office staff,this might translate into a need for 250 square feet of additional space per employee at an average lease cost of$20 per square foot.Alternatively, the $5,000 cost could be viewed as the cost of servicing City bonds that would be necessary to cover the capital cost of building new facilities. For maintenance workers, $5,000 per employee might translate into 625 square feet per employee at a cost of$8 per square foot. Operating Revenues O Estimated property tax revenues reflect estimated taxable assessed value of real and personal property (identified through Berk&Associates spatial analysis of data extracts from the King County Assessor's Office) multiplied by Renton's 2005 levy rate of$3.14813 per $1,000 of assessed value. 2005 taxable assessed value (in millions of dollars) is as follows. Taxable Assessed Value in Millions Study Area 1 Study Area 2 Study Area 3 $409.3 $311.2 $497.7 P Given the similarity between Renton and King County's schedules of gambling tax rates, estimated gambling tax revenues reflect the gambling taxes paid to King County in the most recent calendar year by gambling establishments in Study Area 3, as reported by King County budget analysts. Q Utility tax revenues represent the combined value of telephone,water/sewer/storm drainage, gas, cable TV, and garbage tax revenues as detailed in notes R through V.All of these taxes have been assumed to equal to 6% of gross revenue receipts by utility companies. 111 I BERK & ASSOCIATES ( Page45 City of Renton Annexation Analysis: West Hill R Estimated taxes on telephone service (including cell phone service) reflect the findings of Berk&Associates' statistical regression analysis models of telephone tax revenues generated in 9 King County cities. Based on the findings of statistical analyses, estimates of telephone tax revenues are based on estimates of population and employees in the Finance, Insurance, Real Estate, and Services sector of the economy. S Water/sewer/storm drainage taxes reflect an estimate of$22.00 of annual revenues per • resident, based on the City of Renton's rates for an average household for surface water, water and sewer fees. T ! Estimated taxes on natural gas reflect the findings of Berk&Associates' statistical regression analysis models of gas tax revenues generated in 9 King County cities. Based on the findings of statistical analyses, estimates of natural gas tax revenues are based on estimates of commercial and residential real estate mix, measured in square feet. U Estimates of utility tax revenues on cable services reflect an estimate of$10.50 of annual revenues per resident. V Estimated taxes on garbage tax revenues reflect the findings of Berk&Associates' statistical regression analysis models of garbage tax revenues generated in 9 King County cities. Based on the findings of statistical analyses, estimates of garbage tax revenues are based on estimates of commercial and residential real estate mix, measured in square feet. W State-shared revenue projections are based on estimates of statewide per capita distributions of the liquor tax, liquor profits, restricted and unrestricted gas taxes, and criminal justice revenues as reported by the Municipal Research and Services Center.These revenues are distributed to all cities in the state on a per capita basis, and in 2005 they were reported to total $33.20 per capita. Projected revenues,therefore, are arrived at by multiplying this $33.20 by the contemplated annexation areas' respective populations. X Estimates of sales tax revenues are based on actual sales taxes collected in the study areas in 2004 as reported by King County budget analysts. Y ! Criminal justice sales tax revenues are distributed to cities on a per-capita basis. Estimated revenues reflect an assumed distribution of$20 per resident, which is consistent with both Renton's 2005 budgeted revenues and historical receipts. Z Estimated fines &forfeits reflect an assumed cost recovery of 85% of expenditures for the court services division of Administrative,Judicial & Legal department.This level of recovery compares with 2002, 2003 and 2004 recovery levels of 98%, 85%, and 850/0, respectively, and budgeted-2005 cost recovery of 81%. AA Estimates of the value of the Seattle City Light payment are based on (1) Berk&Associates' statistical regression analysis model of electricity revenues generated in 9 King County cities based on estimates of commercial and residential real estate mix, measured in square feet; (2) a City Light estimate that the increment to the payment will represent half(3%), of the total electric utility tax of 6%. BB Estimated recreation fees reflect an assumed cost recovery of 40% of the costs of the recreation division of Community Services department expenditures. CC 1 Building and other permit fees reflect an assumed cost recovery of 60% of expenditures for the Development Services Division of the Department of Planning, Building and Public Works. IN IBERK & ASSOCIATES ] Page46 City of Renton Annexation Analysis:West Hill DD Estimated cable franchise fee revenues reflect assumed revenues of$8.50 per resident. Business license fees reflect application of the City's license fee structure to estimated number of employees located in each of the study areas.The City's fee structure levies an annual fee of$55 per employee per year.

Mayor rOY Kathy Keolker-Wheeler Nf October 27, 2005 To Residents and Property Owners of the West Hill: The City of Renton recently received a request from the West Hill Community Governance Task Force to support a change in the City's Comprehensive Plan and consider the possibility of future annexation of the West Hill area into the City. I have agreed to present this question to the City Council for its consideration, and as a result,we are scheduling a series of workshops and a public hearing over the next several weeks to give residents and property owners in the area the opportunity to participate in this review. I am sending you a notice of the public hearing on November 14th,as well as an information sheet that lists frequently asked questions and a meeting schedule. While it is true that many West Hill residents have longstanding connections to the City,there are many issues and concerns about a change of this magnitude. I would like to emphasize that the issue before the City Council now is not actual annexation,but rather a first step that would designate the West Hill as an area where future annexation petitions could be considered. Services and governance would continue as they are now until area voters and/or property owners ask to be annexed. I have no doubt that people both in the West Hill and the City have questions and would like to know more about this initiative. Members of my staff are available to listen to your concerns and answer your questions. I encourage you to participate in the upcoming process,particularly by attending the upcoming Planning Commission workshop on November 2nd and the Council public hearing on November 14`h. If you have further questions,please contact Judith Subia of my staff at(425)430- 6575,who can direct your call to the right department or service, or send an e-mail to jsubia@ci.renton.wa.us.

The West Hill Community Governance Task Force,with King County assistance, established this citizens' task force to conduct a series of community meetings beginning in March 2005. In June,the Task Force issued a report, the"West Hill Governance Alternatives Assessment Summary Report" prepared by a consultant team, Berk and Associates(Berk Report), analyzing future governance options for the West Hill. In October,the Task Force recommended that the City consider adding the area to its PAA. Over the next few weeks,there will be a series of workshops and meetings in Renton to discuss this issue(a list of meetings is included below). Renton simultaneously hired the same consultant to analyze the cost to Renton to serve this area. Information about the impact of a future annexation on Renton is considered in the report: "Assessment of the Fiscal Impact of Annexation of West Hill," Sept. 2005. A decision to add the West Hill to Renton's PAA would allow the City to consider future governance and provision of services to this area if initiated by area property owners or residents. The following are frequently asked questions regarding these issues. • What is "Renton's Potential Annexation Area"(PAA)? This is an area, abutting Renton, where the City agrees to provide urban services in the future if residents or property owners request annexation. Prior to consideration of annexation, an area must be included in a city's designated"Potential Annexation Area" or PAA. Land in the PAA is still governed by King County and residents have the same service providers. The type and level of services are not affected by whether an area is within a PAA. However,once this designation is agreed to, property owners and/or voters in the area may only request annexation to Renton,not to another city. Annexation of all or portions of the area may occur over time, if initiated by voters or property owners. • What is being considered now? The Renton City Council will consider whether to add the West Hill into its Potential Annexation Area. Annexation is not being considered at this time; however, putting the area into the PAA would be a step towards eventual annexation. • Why is this issue being considered over the next few weeks, after years of general discussion and nothing happening? After years of discussion and several studies, West Hill residents took the initiative and formally requested the City to consider making future annexation applications possible by adding the area to the PAA. Within Renton's system of land use review,this request must be processed as a Comprehensive Plan Amendment. Such requests are only reviewed once each year. If the request is not considered by the end of this year, along with other annual Comprehensive Plan Amendments, it cannot be considered for another year. The data and other information in the consultant reports are current and provide a basis for a decision this year. • Why is a change of government being considered? In the future,King County intends to focus its governance on rural areas and regional services. King County resources are not adequate to serve both rural and urban areas and maintain its regional responsibilities. Without increasing taxes,King County's general fund will be increasingly inadequate to provide basic services. In 1993,King County set a goal of transitioning unincorporated urban areas of King County either into new incorporated cities or existing cities by 2012. Declining revenues and increasing costs of service define King County's current budget reality. As a result,King County accelerated its efforts to encourage annexations,and is actively discussing governance and service issues in unincorporated urban areas countywide. • Why has the West Hill Task Force recommended joining Renton's Potential Annexation Area? Based on data presented about services, community identity, and taxation presented in the Berk Report,the majority of the Task Force recommended Renton as the best governance option for the West Hill. • Was joining the Seattle or Tukwila Potential Annexation Area or incorporation considered? Yes. The Berk Report includes analysis of 4 alternatives: 1) staying unincorporated, 2) annexation to Seattle, 3)annexation to Renton, and 4)incorporating as a new"City of West Hill." Tukwila has expressed an unwillingness to consider annexing the West Hill, and incorporation was determined to be infeasible. • Who decides if the West Hill should be annexed? Annexation is a citizen-initiated process that requires the support of property owners or the majority of registered voters in the Potential Annexation Area, as well as agreement to annex by the City. • What changes will occur if West Hill is included in Renton's Potential Annexation Area? There will be no immediate changes to either Renton or West Hill by such an expansion of Renton's PAA. Changes only would occur if a future annexation into the City were to take place. • Does Renton want the West Hill? The Renton Mayor and City Council supported City involvement in the most recent studies and have asked staff to prepare analysis of future governance issues and associated costs. The series of meetings about to occur will determine whether and how a transition could begin. • What would Renton gain if an annexation of West Hill were to occur in the future? As recognized in the Berk Reports,the West Hill has many ties to the existing Renton community, including being in the Renton School District. Many West Hill residents shop in Renton and use Renton parks facilities. Inclusion of the West Hill in the PAA would acknowledge the long-standing relationship between the two areas, and allow the City to provide its full range of services to the community. • What would West Hill residents gain if an annexation to Renton were to occur in the future? Residents would gain full participation in local government. Based on 2005 figures,typical annual homeowner taxes and utility costs would be approximately $279 lower. Use fees for some City recreational facilities, such as the Renton Community Center and Henry Moses Aquatic Center,would be lower than for non-residents. Police,Fire, Community Development and Neighborhood program services would increase. The City provides library service through an independent city library system,while the Skyway Library is part of the King County Library System, a regional service provider. How library service issues would be resolved would be part of future discussions. • Where can I get questions answered and more information Copies of all reports are available at the Skyway Library, at www.ci.renton.wa.us, and from The City of Renton Department of Economic Development,Neighborhoods, and Strategic Planning Department at (425)430-6575. • How can I give my comments and opinion?

F RENTON ♦ ♦ Mayor mit Kathy Keolker-Wheeler �'�yvrr0 October 27,2005 To Residents and Property Owners of the West Hill: The City of Renton recently received a request from the West Hill Community Governance Task Force to support a change in the City's Comprehensive Plan and consider the possibility of future annexation of the West Hill area into the City. I have agreed to present this question to the City Council for its consideration, and as a result,we are scheduling a series of workshops and a public hearing over the next several weeks to give residents and property owners in the area the opportunity to participate in this review. I am sending you a notice of the public hearing on November 14th, as well as an information sheet that lists frequently asked questions and a meeting schedule. While it is true that many West Hill residents have longstanding connections to the City,there are many issues and concerns about a change of this magnitude. I would like to emphasize that the issue before the City Council now is not actual annexation,but rather a first step that would designate the West Hill as an area where future annexation petitions could be considered. Services and governance would continue as they are now until area voters and/or property owners ask to be annexed. I have no doubt that people both in the West Hill and the City have questions and would like to know more about this initiative. Members of my staff are available to listen to your concerns and answer your questions. I encourage you to participate in the upcoming process,particularly by attending the upcoming Planning Commission workshop on November 2nd and the Council public hearing on November 14`h. If you have further questions,please contact Judith Subia of my staff at(425)430- 6575,who can direct your call to the right department or service,or send an e-mail to jsubia@ci.renton.wa.us.

Grady Way Renton,WA 98055 Dear Madame Mayor. Since April 2004, the West Hill Governance Task Force has been researching and evaluating governance options for our community. While lengthy, this has been a valuable and informative process. With assistance from King County and consultants from Berk&Associates, the Task Force held four community meetings, a well attended public forum and completed a report that incorporated research results and community input. Based upon this report and public input, the Task Force, in a 10-I vote, adopted the following recommendation: The West Hill Unincorporated Area Governance Task Force recommends the West Hill Community organize a community effort to officially pursue annexation of our unincorporated area to the City of Renton. The Task Force will announce its recommendation at the upcoming Quarterly meeting of the West Hill Unincorporated Area Community Council on October 18th. Task Force members hope that once the recommendation is shared with the community, a dialog about the necessary steps toward annexation can begin among the West Hill residents, the City of Renton and King County. We understand that the City can amend its 2006 Comprehensive Plan this year to include the West Hill as a Potential Annexation Area. We encourage you to pursue this because the task force believes this will be seen as a positive first indication that Renton is indeed interested in the future of our community. The Task Force understands that annexation of West Hill will present fiscal challenges for Renton. We are realistic about the need to resolve the fiscal impacts of annexation. We anticipate working with King County, the City of Renton and residents to establish a time frame to overcome these challenges and complete annexation in a manner that serves all involved. We look forward to working with you toward this end over the coming months.

VIA: Kathy Keolker-Wheeler, Mayo FROM: Alex Pietsch, Administrator kleVie SUBJECT: Annexation Area Reports Staff has been working with Berk &Associates, a Seattle-based program and policy development consultancy,to prepare fiscal analyses of the East Plateau Potential Annexation Area(PAA) and the West Hill. The same consultant was retained by King County to analyze the feasibility of the proposed Fairwood incorporation. Attached to this memo you will find a number of documents related to these efforts. These include: 1) A bound report entitled"Analysis of the Financial Feasibility of the Proposed City of Fairwood." This report only analyzes the financial feasibility of the proposed incorporation area. There is only cursory discussion of the remaining unincorporated area in Cascade and no discussion of annexation of any of this area to Renton. Financial analysis of annexation of Cascade and the entire Fairwood PAA will follow in couple weeks. 2) A bound report entitled"Assessment of the Fiscal Impact of Annexation of the West Hill." This document discusses the fiscal implications of annexation of all or portions of the West Hill to Renton. 3) A stapled document entitled"East Highlands Annexation Analysis." This is a less exhaustive illustration of the financial implications of annexation of the majority of the East Highlands PAA. 4) Two large spreadsheets entitled"East Hill Annexation Area with(and without) property tax rate lifts." This analysis shows the long term implications of annexation of the East Plateau over a 20-year period, one with a continued decrease in the City's property tax rate due to the effects of Initiative 747 and another assuming a four-year schedule of voter adopted levy lid lifts. 5) Two large spreadsheets entitled"West Hill with(and without)property tax rate lifts." This is a similar analysis for the West Hill area. 6) A memorandum entitled"Methods and Comments on West Hill 20-year Fiscal Impact Projections." This document discusses these long-term fiscal analyses and explains the methodology of each and the philosophy behind the levy lid lift H:\EDNSP\Council\City Council\2005\Annexation Area Reports transmittal.doc Annexation Area Reports Page 2 of 2 September 14,2005 strategy. While written with the West Hill in mind, the same methodology applies to the East Plateau analysis. As mentioned, we anticipate further analysis from the consultant regarding annexation of all or a portion of the Fairwood PAA. This analysis will be transmitted as soon as it is available. Additionally, staff is working to schedule a Committee of the Whole briefing to discuss with you all of this analysis and its policy implications for the City. cc: Jay Covington Linda Herzog Department Heads h:\ednsp\council\city council\2005\annexation area reports transmittal.doc mai II MEMORANDUM DATE: September 8, 2005 TO: Alex Pietsch FROM: Brett Sheckler, Berk & Associates RE: Methods and Comments on West Hill 20-Year Fiscal Impact Projections In Winter of 2005, the City of Renton contracted with Berk &Associates to assess the fiscal impact associated with the City of Renton's annexation of the West Hill area. Included in this assessment was a discussion of the possible long-term fiscal effects of West Hill's annexation. The principal message from the discussion of long-term effects was that, if the City of Renton relies on retail sales tax as its primary engine of revenue growth over the coming decades (allowing the City's property tax levy to be driven down by 1-747's 1% limits), then West Hill, like any of the City's existing residential neighborhoods, will become a greater fiscal "loser" for the City (in terms of the revenues the area generates versus its costs of service). On the other hand, if the City were to mitigate the effects of 1-747 through levy lid lifts, property value appreciation in West Hill could turn the area into a net fiscal winner for the City in future years. Following delivery of the draft fiscal assessment, and in response to requests from City decision makers, the City asked Berk & Associates to develop a baseline projection of West Hill's costs and revenues 20 years in the future. The attached spreadsheet summarizes the outcome of that projection. Under the best of conditions, a 20-year projection provides only limited value. Even in stable situations, unforeseen events are inevitable over such an extended period. Over time, a few large events are likely to render the projections obsolete. To make matters worse, in 2005, in Washington State, long-term municipal fiscal structures should be viewed as anything but stable. Given the recent spate of state-wide initiatives, many cities in Washington State are facing long- term fiscal imbalances—imbalances that, in the long term, are likely to drive statutory changes in municipal fiscal structures. We are confident that changes in fiscal structure are coming, what we do not know is When?, What?, and How?. Among other things, how those changes come about will have a direct impact on projected fiscal impacts. Recognizing high levels of uncertainty, we offer the following notes and comments about the assumptions and findings of the 20-year projections: City of Renton Methods and Comments on West Hill 20-Year Forecasts Assumptions • The City will allow 1-747 limits to erode the City's property tax levy. In a scenario where West Hill is part of the City, absent voter-approved levy lid lifts, the City's regular levy rate could drop from $3.15 per $1,000 in assessed value in 2005 to roughly $1.68 per thousand. Under this scenario, one can assume that, as a share of City revenues, property taxes will become a less important share of the City's overall tax base. • Values of existing property in West Hill are assumed to grow at 6% per year, while the value of existing property within the existing City boundaries is assumed to grow at 4%. Differences in property valuation increases between West Hill and the existing city are driven by two factors. First is the mix of residential to commercial property. Recent trends suggest that residential property increases in value faster than commercial property, and West Hill is overwhelmingly residential while a large portion of Renton's assessed value is commercial. The second factor is the area's general position for valuation increases (as an area that is ripe for redevelopment, West Hill is well-positioned to see rapid property valuation increase). • The core components of other revenue streams will grow more rapidly than property taxes (both in Renton as a whole, and in West Hill). We assume that, at some point after 2005, sales tax sourcing rule changes will take effect and West Hill will begin to generate sales taxes from delivered purchases. Beyond sourcing rule changes, we assume that sales tax revenues overall from West Hill will grow at a more than 5% per year (driven by improved performance of the area's existing retail center and driven by long-term increases in the value of delivered goods). We also assume that, on average, per capita utility tax revenues will grow by 4% per year. • On a per unit basis, costs of service will increase by 4% per year. Given the combination of (1) structural forces in labor costs and (2) productivity gains, we assume that the cost of providing service to a given population will increase by 4% per year. On top of these per-unit increases, demand for services will increase with population growth at varying rates. For different services, a 1.0% increase in population is assumed to drive anywhere from a 0.25% to a 0.8% increase in City resources (staffing and equipment). At the extremes, high elasticities (0.8) are assumed for police services, while low elasticities (0.25) are assumed for economic development. Comments on Outcomes • Overall, with no levy lid lifts, the net cost of annexing West Hill will increase over time. In constant, 2005, dollars, the net cost of serving West Hill is projected to grow from $2.4 million in 2005 to $4.3 million in 2025. If one deducts future property tax savings for current City residents and businesses (see next bullet), that $4.3 million net cost in 2025 is reduced to $2.9 million. August 31,2005 Page 2 City of Renton Now .004 Methods and Comments on West Hill 20-Year Forecasts • More rapid growth in assessed values in West Hill will result in tax savings for property owners within the existing City. Assuming no levy lid lifts, greater property appreciation in West Hill will cause the City's levy rate to fall more rapidly than it would if Renton did not annex West Hill. As modeled, this will result in owners of property within the current City saving paying $2.5 million less in property taxes than they would if West Hill was not part of the City. What this means is that, due to property valuation increases, West Hill property owners will pay a larger share of the City's property tax revenues over time. In a way, this property tax savings for owners in the existing city can be viewed as a reduction in the net cost of annexation in 2025. • If Renton's regular levy rate is maintained at $3.15 per thousand, assumed property appreciation in West Hill turns the area into a fiscal winner for the City. If the City has a levy rate of $3.15 in 2025, West Hill will generate positive net revenues for the City of $2 million (in current, 2005, dollars). Below is a discussion of the issues that revolve around potential levy lid lifts. Initiative 747 passed in 2001 effectively limited the growth in a city's regular property tax levy to 1% per year, excluding add-ons, which include the taxable value of new construction (which increases the city's taxable base) and the value of property that is added in a given year as a result of annexations. If the City of Renton annexed any of the contemplated annexation areas, then the full value of the taxable property in the annexation area would be added to the City's tax base, having no impact on the City's calculated levy rate. After the initial increase to the City's tax base in the first year of annexation, however, the annexed area would become fully integrated into the City's tax base, and from that point forward, would therefore be subject to the same 1-747 limitations that apply to the City currently. For cities, 1-747 limits mean that, in inflation-adjusted terms, the City should expect to see a ever-decreasing portion of City revenues coming from property taxes. If 1-747 limits remain intact for a number of years, many cities will likely need to seek public votes for periodic "lifts" of the City's levy lid to maintain the levy rate, and therefore the property tax revenue, that can be generated. In terms of what an average existing property-owner pays, under 1-747, a city like Renton should assume real property tax revenues from each existing property will grow by only 1 each year. At the same time, however, the average cost of providing a given level of service to the users of that property will increase at, perhaps, 4% per year. A difference of 1% to 4% between the growth of costs and the growth of revenues does not seem like much for a given year. Over time, however, the effect of the different growth rates compounds to create a huge gap between costs and revenues. For example, if the costs of serving a household were to continue to grow at a rate of 4% per year, while the property taxes paid by that household increased by an average of only 1% per year for the same period, then in 20 years, costs will increase by roughly 120% while an important August 31,2005 Page 3 City of Renton Methods and Comments on West Hill 20-Year Forecasts , source of revenues from that household will increase by only 22%. If costs were equal to property tax revenues in the first year, then under this example, at the end of the 20-year period, costs will have grown to exceed revenues by nearly 80%. The Figure below illustrates Renton's tax collections and levy rates with and without periodic increases through a levy lid lift (for a 16-year period spanning 2005 to 2020). Under the no-lid-lift scenario, Renton's levy rate fals from $3.15 per thousand in 2005 to less than $2.00 per thousand in 2020. Over the same period, the City's property tax revenues increase from $25 million to $39 million (with growth stemming from the 1% growth allowed by 1-747 and assumed redevelopment/improvements to property of 2% per year). Under the lid-lift scenario, the City's levy rate is reduced from $3.15 in 2005 to $2.87 in 2008, and is then reset through a lid lift to $3.15 in 2009. The same process of erosion and lid lift occurs on a four-year cycle from 2009 forward. With a maintained levy rate, the City's property tax revenues increase from $25 million in 2005 to $57 million in 2020.

Certain services,such as Fire Investigation, Fire Inspection, Plans Review and Public Information are currently provided by King County and will become responsibility of City of Renton if the area were annexed.However, considering very few commercial properties in East Highlands,provision of these services would have a minimal impact on Renton's Fire expenditures and may be absorbed within the current budget and level of staffing. 3 This amount is 20%of estimated total amount collected for business license fees, as 80%is dedicated to road maintenance(capital projects). 4 The City of Renton will lose the contract payment from Fire District 25,calculated as$1.25 per thousand of assessed valuation.

Introduction This West Hill Community Profile is an overview of the unincorporated West Hill area,the people who live and work there,the setting, diversity,unique character and special community opportunities and challenges. It is provided to the community and neighboring cities to serve a number of purposes. This profile provides basic demographic information about the community, including population size, racial and ethnic composition, household mobility, income, employment, age range, and household size. And, importantly, it provides information about the trends for some these characteristics to help the community envision its future. This Community Profile will also assist West Hill property owners who, like those in all other unincorporated urban communities, will consider questions about their future form of governance. The Washington Growth Management Act and King County Growth Management Planning Council Countywide Planning Policies establish that cities are the appropriate providers of local services to Urban Areas. Local urban services include public safety, roads, land use permitting, parks and recreation,road construction and maintenance and others. The county is the appropriate provider of Countywide regional services including transit, wastewater treatment, felony courts and jails, and public health. Cities may contract with King County for local services such as police and surface water management. West Hill Community Profile,Public Review Draft July 1997 • Toward this end, the West Hill Community Profile also provides current information about public services and facilities. It provides an update on many of the recommendations of the 1994 West Hill Community Plan, which was developed with a great deal of community input about the area's needs and the citizens' vision for the future. This document reports on recent capital improvements and notes special issues to be addressed by service providers or residents. It provides cost information for the four major local services provided by King County: police, roads,parks and recreation, and surface water management. It also provides a summary of property and sales tax revenue generated in West Hill. B. West Hill Community Characteristics Population • During the past 25 years, overall population in the West Hill area has remained stable; while population in overall King County grew rapidly, increasing by 39 percent. Age characteristics • The 1990 census data shows the median age of the West Hill population is 35.6 years which is 1.6 years higher than a countywide median age of 34 years. From 1980 to 1990 the proportion of people age 65 and older grew from 9 percent to 14 percent of the population while countywide it increased from 10 percent to 11 percent. Racial composition • West Hill is the most racially diverse community of unincorporated King County, and the population continues to diversify. From 1970 to 1995 the white population declined from 94 percent to 49 percent while the African American population increased from 1 percent to 30 percent and the Asian American population increased from 4 percent to 18 percent. Residential Mobility • In 1990, 54 percent of West Hill residents reported having lived in the same house five years. Throughout King County, 45 percent had maintained the same residence for five years. This indicates that West Hill has been somewhat more stable than most King County communities. Income • Though strongly middle income, West Hill personal income did not keep pace with the balance of the county during the period from 1980 to 1990. Nonetheless, median income remained higher in West Hill than in the neighboring cities of Seattle and Renton. West Hill Community Profile,Public Review Draft 2 July 1997 • The 1990 Census indicated West Hill's median household income was $34,500. That was 17 percent higher than Seattle, at $29,400, and 6.5 percent higher than Renton, at$32,400. • In 1990, West Hill median household income was 4.5 percent lower than the county median, whereas in 1980 it had been 8.5 percent higher. Employment • In 1994 Washington State Employment Security reported 170 employers and 1,600 jobs. Of those jobs, 60 percent were in retail, government and education. • In 1990,there were 6200 employed persons over the age of 16 living in West Hill.. The majority of employed West Hill residents work in Seattle or Renton and only about 300 residents work in West Hill. Residential Home Values • In 1995 the average home sale price in West Hill was $126,700. Although significantly lower than the average countywide sale price of$169,000,the average West Hill home price increased 31 percent from 1990 to 1995, compared with a 13 percent increase countywide. Public Safety • Violent crime decreased in 1996 and is lower than in surrounding cities. There are some crime "hot spots"which are receiving special police response. Property crime has increased since 1994. C. 1994 West Hill Community Plan Together with the West Hill Community, King County began a planning process in 1990 that resulted in the 1994 West Hill Community Plan. Residents, business owners and community leaders provided extensive input to the plan,particularly the West Hill Community Council and the former Skyway Commercial Club. King County conducted a survey of all West Hill residents to identify community needs and concerns, and completed an inventory and analysis of current conditions. The Community Plan established land use regulations and area zoning based on community goals and policy direction. It remains a valuable resource for the community. D. Recent King County Accomplishments in West Hill This Community Profile reports on various accomplishments in West Hill since the Community Plan was adopted, including establishment of a storefront community police station and the new West Hill Community Center. Recent traffic and safety projects include school pathways, sidewalks and road improvements. Skyway Park and its play field were improved. The Water and Land Resources Division is conducting a comprehensive study of West Hill drainage West Hill Community Profile,Public Review Draft 3 July 1997 • • problems. The Wastewater Treatment Division will construct a major facility in the Bryn Mawr area to prevent overflows of untreated wastewater during periods of heavy rainfall. Additional projects are planned for 1997 and 1998. Despite these improvements, a significant portion of West Hill is still served by septic systems, a number of streets lack sidewalks and there is community demand for additional parks and open space. The West Hill Community Council has been formally designated a King County Unincorporated Area Council. The Community Council provides a vehicle for West Hill residents to communicate with King County elected officials and departments. E. Considering West Hill's Future The urban unincorporated area of King County is rapidly diminishing. In urban areas,the County is changing from its traditional role of a local service provider to one of a regional service provider. King County and its cities formally recognized the need for this transformation in the King County Growth Management Countywide Planning Policies,which identify cities as the most appropriate provider of urban local services. Concurrent with this fundamental change in King County government,unincorporated urban communities are considering whether to annex to a neighboring city or to incorporate. These choices raise questions for the community and surrounding cities related to facilities and services. This document was prepared to assist in answering those questions. The Renton Comprehensive Plan designates West Hill as part of its "urban growth boundary" or "potential annexation area," a designation which identifies that the area potentially could be annexed by the city.No specific annexation plans or proposals have been initiated. This West Hill Community Profile is presented to the community,the surrounding cities of Renton, Tukwila and Seattle, and special purpose districts as a review draft. King County prepared this document in response to the requests of surrounding cities' staff and members of the West Hill Community Council for this information. A final draft will be prepared following public review. The Community Profile presents information about the revenue sources, major public services and facilities, and costs for police,roads, parks and surface water management, the four most significant local services currently provided by King County. This profile discusses issues about current service conditions and future plans. It generally describes services provided to West Hill by special purpose districts, including schools, fire protection,water and sewer, and library. West Hill Community Profile,Public Review Draft 4 July 1997 F. Information Sources This community profile is much less comprehensive than the West Hill Community Plan, but is derived from the Plan's data and updates the information wherever possible. Topics included in this document were selected from the Community Plan to present demographic background and a discussion of key infrastructure and service issues. Other sources of information include the Washington State Office of Financial Management,the King County Assessor's Office, King County Departments, and the West Hill Community Council newsletter. The West Hill Community Plan remains an excellent source of relatively current information. • West Hill Community Profile,Public Review Draft 5 July 1997 II. WEST HILL COMMUNITY CHARACTERISTICS A. Physical Environment 1. Location West Hill is an unincorporated area that lies in West Central King County between the cities of Seattle, Tukwila and Renton. The area is about 3.2 square miles or 2,050 acres and includes the neighborhoods of Bryn Mawr,Lakeridge, Skyway, Earlington, Campbell Hill, Panorama View, and a commercial/industrial area south of Martin Luther King, Jr. Way. It is bounded on the north by Seattle, and on the northeast by Lake Washington; on the east and south by Renton; and on the west by Tukwila,the Burlington Northern railroad track and Interstate Highway 5. West Hill is in the 5th Council District of Metropolitan King County,the l 1th and 37th Washington State Legislative districts, and the 7th and 9th Congressional district. It is in census tracts 260.01, 261 and the unincorporated part of tract 260.02 (36%of the tract's population). Aggregated 1990 census data about West Hill can be found in the Bryn Mawr-Skyway Census Designated Place (CDP)#160.

Natural Features West Hill has varied topography, from the lowlands on the shore of Lake Washington and the Duwamish River to an elevation of 500 feet in the Skyway business district. Hills and ravines divide the area into identifiable neighborhoods. The eastern portion of the West Hill area is in the Cedar River basin and the remainder is in the Green River basin. There are three small streams that flow into Lake Washington. Most of West Hill is developed with few remaining undisturbed natural areas. There are a number of parcels with sensitive areas designations including steep slopes and landslide, seismic and erosion hazards which may limit future development opportunities. The slopes extending from Martin Luther King, Jr. Way down to the Renton city line southwest of the Earlington area are designated as landslide hazard areas. B. Neighborhoods Bryn Mawr and Lakeridge have mostly single family residential development with densities of 6- 8 dwelling units per acre. Many of the homes have views of Lake Washington. Lakeridge in particular has narrow and curved residential shoulder streets with trees on both sides. While much of Bryn Mawr has a grid street pattern, there are areas on the hillside with curved streets and views. Between Rainier Avenue South and Lake Washington, Bryn Mawr has an area of high density multifamily residential development. There is a small commercial strip on Rainier Avenue South. The Skyway community surrounding the Skyway Business District and Skyway Park also has views and a hillside setting. No roadway shoulders or sidewalks exist on most of the streets which restricts pedestrian mobility; however, some new sidewalk improvements are planned in 1997 and 1998 . There is a mix of housing types and commercial establishments. The commercial development centers on Renton Avenue South between South 116th Street and South 119th Street and provide small retail and service establishments. Campbell Hill and Panorama View-- less densely built than Bryn Mawr, Lakeridge and Skyway -- include several undeveloped lots with easy access to Martin Luther King, Jr. Way. Here too, few pedestrian amenities are available except for near the Campbell Hill Elementary School. There are views of Mt. Rainier from the south-facing slopes. The Earlington area overlooks Renton and contains a combination of older scattered single-family residences and multifamily development. West Hill Community Profile, Public Review Draft 8 July 1997 C. Demographics 1. Population The West Hill population size remained generally stable from 1970 to 1995 at approximately 13,000 while the entire population of King County increased 39%. The West Hill population size decreased slightly between the 1970 to 1980 census counts, but that loss was regained by 1995. West Hill represents less than 1% of King County's total population.

Average Household Size Since 1970, West Hill and King County have both experienced a significant decline in household size. Although slightly larger than in King County as a whole, average household size in West Hill decreased from 2.61 in 1980 to 2.41 in 1990 compared with 2.49 to 2.35 for the County. As a result, there are more households in more housing units although the population remained stable. Since 1990, there is some evidence that household size may be increasing again, both in West Hill and in King County generally according to King County demographic data. Table 2.

Age Characteristics The age characteristics of the West Hill's population are similar to all of King County, with a few notable exceptions. The 1990 census data show the median age of the West Hill population is 35.6 years which is slightly higher than a figure of 34 years countywide. West Hill Community Profile,Public Review Draft 9 July 1997 In 1980, the population age distribution was similar in both West Hill and the entire King County. Between 1980 and 1990, the changes in age distribution were similar in West Hill and all of King County, except that in West Hill the proportion of the population over 65 grew 5% (from 9%to 14%) while countywide it grew 1% (from 10% to 11%).

There are no data to describe changes in neighborhood integration since the 1990 census. In 1990 Census data show that approximately 65% of the West Hill population was white versus 85% Countywide. From.1980 to 1990 the African American population in West Hill increased by 186%with the Asian American population increasing by 63%. The proportion of the white population declined 16% in West Hill, while it increased 14% countywide. Data from the Renton School District indicate a continuation of these trends during the 1990s. By 1995, white population had declined to 49%, while the African American population grew to 30% and Asian grew to 18%.

Hispanic ethnicity is included within racial categories. In 1990,the 3.2% of West Hill residents identified themselves as Hispanic, about the same percentage as all of King County.No census information on ethnicity is available after 1990, but the Renton School District data suggest the Hispanic population has increased slightly. In 1990,the West Hill area had the same proportion of foreign-born residents, 9%, as the County as a whole and of people who reportedly do not speak English well, 5%. 5. School Age Population Racial and Ethnic Composition Racial and ethnic composition of the school age population of West Hill was estimated using data from four elementary schools attended by most West Hill students. Most middle and high school students living in the area attend school within the city of Renton. In 1989, 56% of the elementary school population was white and 44% minority. By 1995, 34% of the school population was white with 66%minority. The major shift occurred in the percentage of African American students, increasing from 26% in 1989 to 42% in 1995.

Residential Mobility In the 1990 Census, over 54% of West Hill residents reported having lived in the same house five years earlier. This indicates that, at least until 1990, the West Hill residential population has been somewhat more stable than most King County communities, which averaged 45%. 7. Income West Hill is a middle-income community, with a 1990 Census median household income of $34,500, which is about five percent below King County's median. West Hill's median income was higher than that of Seattle ($29,400) and Renton ($32,400). The income distribution of West Hill households is narrower than that of the whole County, with relatively fewer high- income and low-income households than King County as a whole. A smaller share of West Hill households (6.1%) are below the federal poverty level ($12,700 for a family of four)than all of King County (8.0%). During the 1980s, incomes of West Hill residents increased less than inflation and incomes Countywide. The cumulative inflation rate was about 67% while the West Hill median household income grew 54% and the Countywide median grew 75%. In 1980, the West Hill median household income was about nine percent above the King County median, whereas in 1990 it was five percent below the Countywide figure. According to the 1990 Census,the median income of African American households ($34,060) and Asian households ($40,670) was higher than white households ($33,040). This pattern, together with the low poverty numbers, indicates that the increasing minority population of West Hill is primarily middle class. This same relationship of incomes and racial categories also exists in the neighboring city of Renton. Table 6.

About 3,100 people--half of West Hill workers---worked in Seattle. Many of the remaining 2,700 jobholders worked in Renton. About 300 of West Hill's working residents (five percent)held jobs within the West Hill community. C. Land Use Although West Hill is an established community which is largely built up, there are some opportunities for new development or redevelopment. There are some vacant parcels scattered within both residential and commercial areas. Much of the industrially zoned land south of Martin Luther King, Jr. Way is undeveloped or has room for expansion, although steep terrain may limit the development potential in these areas. About one-quarter of the parcels zoned multi-family residential are vacant. In addition, over 60%of parcels zoned multi-family residential are not developed to the multi-family zoning designation, but rather are developed with single family dwelling units. Existing zoning for the West Hill area provides for a range of land uses. There are approximately 1900 acres zoned residential, 50 acres commercial and 145 acres zoned industrial. West Hill Community Profile,Public Review Draft 14 July 1997 1. Residential Land Use From 1980 to 1990 the proportion of total West Hill housing units that were single family declined from 84%to 73%. The percentage of multifamily units grew from 14%to 21%and mobile homes increased from 2%to 6%. Except for the increase in mobile homes, the Countywide pattern is very similar, with single family units dropping from 66% in 1980 to 58% in 1990. Multifamily units grew from 32% in 1980 to 39% in 1990. Table 7.

Commercial Land Use Most of the commercial land in West Hill is in the Skyway Business District centered on Renton Avenue South, between 68th Avenue South,and 78th Avenue South. The district is a 38.5 acre area separated by Skyway Park which divides the north part of the district from the south part about one-quarter of a mile away. The district is zoned for community business (CB) and high density residential (R18 to R48). There are a variety of small businesses and services in the area as well as some multifamily development. The businesses include taverns,restaurants, gas stations, a heating oil dealer, supermarket, hardware store, liquor store, beauty parlors, storage, and other small specialty retailers. There are three smaller commercial areas on the perimeter of West Hill: • Martin Luther King, Jr. Way between 60th Avenue South and 64th Avenue South (6.32 acres), • Beacon Avenue South and South 120th Street (2.32 acres), • Rainier Avenue South between south 113th Street and South 117th Street(3.02 acres). These areas contain similar types of businesses as the Skyway Business District. 3. Industrial Land Use The part of West Hill that is zoned for industrial and office use is acres south of Martin Luther King, Jr. Way and the Earlington neighborhood and is approximately 73 acres. Much of the area zoned industrial is designated as a sensitive area due to landslide hazard potential which may affect development potential. In 1996,the City of Renton annexed two industrially zoned parcels in this area totaling 19 acres. West Hill Community Profile,Public Review Draft 18 • July 1997 III. COMMUNITY FACILITIES AND SERVICES There are many types of local public services provided in West Hill including utilities, transportation, schools, police, fire, parks and recreation, to social and health services, libraries and many others. These services are provided by a variety of government and private entities. The services provided to West Hill by special purpose districts are generally described including schools, fire protection, water and sewer, and library services. While it is not feasible to describe all public services comprehensively in this document, the following discussion is an overview of major public services and facilities. The West Hill Community Plan is a valuable source of additional information. This chapter discusses some of the important issues about current services including descriptions of infrastructure conditions, recent and planned capital improvement projects (CIPs) some outstanding facility needs. A. Utilities 1. Sewer Utilities West Hill is served by three sewer districts: Bryn Mawr-Lakeridge Water and Sewer District in the northeast portion; Skyway Water and Sewer District in the core and western portion; and the City of Seattle Drainage and Wastewater Utility which serves an area northwest of Renton. There are some unsewered areas within West Hill. West Hill Community Profile,Public Review Draft 19 July 1997 ille ♦ ♦; •4 pL nip 4i •°oi /4°oqy pi i .

Sewer service was provided to approximately 600 properties in the west Langston area during 1989 to 1991 which was funded by the Centennial Clean Water Fund, an Emergency Public Works Trust Fund loan and formation of a utility local improvement district (ULID). A Community Development Block Grant helped fund side sewer connections for low and moderate income property owners. The majority of the existing sanitary sewers were constructed in the early 1940s and 1950s. The construction material consisted mainly of concrete pipe with mortar joints The sewer system is not a combined sanitary and stormwater system. However, during winter rains certain areas of West Hill become surcharged from inflow and infiltration causing overflows. Studies indicate that storm and groundwater entering the sanitary sewers is attributed mostly to the private systems that service individual residences. The Bryn Mawr-Lakeridge Water and Sewer District and King County Wastewater Treatment Division are jointly sponsoring a study to identify problems and potential solutions, quantify costs, and make recommendations to reduce infiltration and inflow. The district has applied for a $748,000 Public Works Trust Fund loan to replace the sewer service lines to 178 single family residences. 2. Water Utilities The Skyway Sewer and Water District, Lakeridge Water and Sewer District and No. 125 serve most of the core areas of West Hill. In addition, the cities of Renton, Tukwila and Seattle provide water service to portions of the unincorporated area. In 1988, a Water Utility Coordinating Committee was formed to develop and implement the Skyway Coordinated Water System Plan. The plan made many recommendations including the creation of one King County Water District for the entire West Hill area where five now exist. To date, the coordinated water district has not been formed, however there was an effort to do so in 1992. The proposal is now actively being reconsidered. A new $1.8 million water storage reservoir will be constructed in 1997 funded by the Skyway Water and Sewer District, King County Water District No. 125, and the State of Washington Public Works Trust Fund. The project will improve water system efficiencies, reduce dependence on Seattle's water system during peak demand periods and improve storage for fire flow and emergency water supply. The project will end the 1985 King County Council declaration of Skyway as being a"Critical Water Supply" area. West Hill Community Profile,Public Review Draft 21 July 1997 3. Surface Water Management King County sets standards and provides programs for surface water management, maintenance of river channels, storm water drainage, and retention/detention systems. The Department of Development and Environmental Services reviews drainage plans submitted by developers to assure that they meet County requirements regarding storm water retention and runoff volume The Bryn Mawr and Langston areas have consistent drainage complaints and a potential for flooding. The West Hill area is the source of an average of 22 drainage complaints per year from the public and the Water and Land Resources Division conducts an average of 12 engineering analyses annually. (For additional information refer to Chapter IV. Summary of Major Direct Services Provided by King County,. Section C. Water and Land Resources Division.) The Water and Land Resources Division is conducting a $180,000 comprehensive drainage plan is being developed in 1997 to analyze drainage problems and potential solutions with input from the community. Three small drainage improvement projects in West Hill have been designed and constructed by the Water and Land Resources Division over the last five years at a total cost of$87,500. The projects originated from drainage complaints or neighborhood flooding situations. 4. Solid Waste Management Curbside garbage pick-up service is provided in West Hill,by state franchise, by Waste Management Rainier. Curbside collection is not mandatory for residents in unincorporated King County and only 26% of the households in West Hill subscribe for pick-up services. Waste collection services for multifamily residences with more than four units and for businesses are available as well. The non-subscribing households and businesses take their waste directly to a King County or Seattle solid waste handling facility, most often King County's Renton Transfer Station or Seattle's South Transfer Station. Residential collection is mandatory in most cities. Waste Management Rainier also picks up recyclable materials and yard waste in West Hill. Through its Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan, King County requires that franchised waste haulers serving urban unincorporated areas also offer curbside collection of recyclable materials. 5. Electric Utilities West Hill currently receives electric service from Seattle City Light. City Light has a large transmission line with a 200-foot right-of-way crossing West Hill that the community uses as an informal trail. West Hill Community Profile, Public Review Draft 22 July 1997 • B. Transportation 1. Transit Service As of early 1997, West Hill is served by four Metro Transit routes -- 101, 106, 107, and 143 -- along Martin Luther King, Jr. Way South, Renton Avenue South, and Rainier Avenue South with service to downtown Seattle and the Renton transit center. There are no Park & Ride lots in West Hill ; the nearest are the South Renton, Renton Boeing, and Tukwila lots. 2. Roads West Hill has two roads classified as principal arterials, Martin Luther King, Jr. Way South (a state road) and Rainier Avenue South, that are four lanes wide with posted speeds of 35 to 50 m.p.h. These roads are used primarily for through traffic and connect West Hill to Renton and Seattle. Renton Avenue South is a minor arterial and is the location of most of the area's commercial businesses. Interstate 5 is close to the western boundary of the West Hill area. Interstate 405 is within approximately one mile to the east and south. There are 50 miles of County roadway in West Hill with six traffic signals, one pedestrian activated signal, and five flashers, all of which are maintained by the County. Two additional traffic signals on Martin Luther King, Jr. Way are maintained by the Washington State Department of Transportation. Roads are regularly inspected to evaluate the roadway surface, the condition of shoulders, and roadside drainage. Eighty-five percent of the roadway surface and drainage in West Hill are rated by the Road services Division as good or slightly less than good. Seventy percent of the shoulders received a favorable rating, and 29% are in marginal condition. C. Schools West Hill is part of the Renton School District and has four elementary schools, an alternative high school, and one middle school (Dimmit Middle School has been closed and will reopen this year).

Police Services West Hill is served by King County Police Precinct Four, headquartered in Burien. West Hill is mostly in the K8 patrol district and there is a community policing storefront in the Skyway business district at 12629B Renton Avenue South. The King County Police West Hill Storefront is staffed by a regular full time officer and has an assigned community service officer and crime prevention officer. Volunteers also work in the office several hours a day, when available. In addition to the precinct-level public safety services provided, the West Hill community is also served by the regional special operations and criminal investigation units of the King County Department of Public Safety West Hill has a very active, well-organized Community Block Watch Program with 35 established block watches. The West Hill Storefront officer maintains regular communication with a steering committee of three Block Watch captains who network with the other 32 captains to provide timely notification of criminal activity. At a recent West Hill Community Council meeting one resident stated that Block Watches appear to have a very positive effect and, from personal observation, criminal activity appears to be lower in the blocks that have Block Watches. In a survey of West Hill residents, conducted in 1990 as part of the planning process that resulted in the 1994 West Hill Community Plan, one of the questions was "What kind of problems do you see in your neighborhood?". Half the respondents mentioned crime, drugs, or gangs. Crime data reported by the King County Police validate the community's concerns; in 1996, crime rates in West Hill were higher than in unincorporated King County as a whole. However, compared to other urban areas, West Hill has significantly lower crime rates than the surrounding cities. Table 9. 1996 Crime Rates per 1,000 Population West full' Seattle Rehtoi Tuks l >:::>E3nineo >oraterl Kin :Count:.:: Y:. Nitalgifitaiinii 6.1 8.5 22.0 16.1 2.4 Propertyirropettpvtimog 56.9 95.6 88.1 234.5 37.1 (Notes: 1. Property crime includes burglary, larceny, and vehicle theft; violent crimes are aggravated assault,robbery, rape and homicide. 2. Although these are the reported crime rates, note that generally there is some variation in rates of reporting by cities. 3. These statistics do not include Part II violent Assaults the Fourth Degree.) There is evidence that public safety in West Hill is improving with respect to violent crime. Between 1995 and 1996 violent crime dropped 16% in West Hill compared with 9% in the rest West Hill Community Profile,Public Review Draft 25 July 1997 • of the King County Police service area. The extent to which the improvement is due to organized community-based crime prevention efforts and expanded police services cannot be quantified, but in all likelihood they have contributed. Property crimes, on the other hand, have increased each year since 1994 in West Hill. 2. Fire Protection Most of West Hill receives fire protection from King County Fire District 20 which is operated by a combination of career and volunteer staff. Station 1 is located at 84th Ave. S. and South 117th St. Station 2, the District's headquarters, is at Renton Avenue South and 76th Ave. S. The Renton and Seattle fire districts supplement service when needed. The area south of Martin Luther King, Jr. Way, is in the Tukwila fire district. E. West Hill Community Facilities, Services and Activities • 1. West Hill Community Facilities Community facilities including a post office, library and fire station are located within the southern area of the Skyway business district. Public meeting space is available at the Skyway Fire Station, Skyway VFW Post and the Skyway Library. West Hill does not have a community newspaper however, the West Hill Community Council publishes a quarterly newsletter. 2. Parks, Recreation and Open Space A new West Hill Community Center is expected to be constructed at the Dimmit Middle School site in 1997. The center results from a successful partnership between King County, the Renton School District, and the West Hill community. The Renton School District is providing the land adjacent to the school for the center and the County will provide construction and oversight for the center. The County and the School District have collaborated to ensure both buildings work together aesthetically and functionally. During the day the community center will provide a game and lounge area, kitchen, meeting space, space for visiting social services and office support. In the evenings, other activities will be available by the shared use of the school's gym and potentially the home economics, shop and computer rooms. The community center will provide programs and services for a diversity of ages with an emphasis on youth at risk. West Hill contains a total of 24.6 acres of park land owned by King County within its boundaries. Of this, 20.5 acres are developed (Skyway Park) and 4.1 acres are West Hill Community Profile,Public Review Draft 26 July 1997 - 4.,t s Qf • r -• .11P , • tr' SEATTLE �''rq a I� a \S d°�o .___ , ,/\ ,_?<eliii <,, • -e esr. s,„ 1 h 111111, r 1E�iK S 112th �C m� 116th St I _� .=�r S 1 7th 11 .

WASNINGTON undeveloped (Bryn Mawr Park); however,there are also many parks near West Hill available to residents. Skyway Park, a community park operated by King County, is west of Renton Ave. S. between S. 120th St. and S. 125th St. This park provides a range of recreational activities and facilities. Bryn Mawr Park, a neighborhood park, extends from S. 118th St. to S. 123rd P1. between 80th Ave. S. and 82nd Ave. S. It is fenced off, and is surrounded by single family houses. No future recreational facilities are expected to be built at Bryn Mawr Park because its topography precludes it from development. In 1994,based on West Hill Community input,the King County Office of Open Space identified three priorities for open space acquisition, however, funding has not been available. the three proposals are: • Preservation of a large woodland tract located between the Seattle City Light power line and Renton Avenue South. • Public access to Lake Washington. • Creation of a community walking trail that would link the above woodland tract, the City Light power line, Skyway Park,the Skyway commercial area and two schools. (The City of Seattle has a long-term plan to develop a trail project that could link with this potential County trail adjacent to Skyway within the city. Specific plans and funding not yet in place.) Other nearby parks provide open space, playfields and other recreational opportunities to the residents of the West Hill area: • Lakeridge Park, part of the Seattle park system, adjoins unincorporated West Hill; • 19.8 acre Earlington Park within the City of Tukwila provides access to the regional Green/Duwamish trail and open space and park facilities; • 52 acre Fort Dent Park south of Highway 900 (Martin Luther King Jr. Way) is also within the City of Tukwila; and • Gene Coulon Park within the City of Renton. In additional,there are playfields at all four public elementary schools in West Hill and a private swimming club in Lakeridge. Other private sector recreation facilities include a bowling alley, a bingo parlor, and card rooms. 3. Cultural and Arts Resources The new Skyway Community Center will provide space for arts and cultural events. There are six historic sites in West Hill listed in the King County historic resource sites inventory although none are designated historic landmarks. Events for children are regularly scheduled at the Skyway Library, which is part of the King County Library System. There are no theaters, West Hill Community Profile,Public Review Draft 28 July 1997 galleries, museums or other cultural facilities within the West Hill community. There is no community newspaper. 4. West Hill Community Council The West Hill Community Council is formally designated as an unincorporated area council. Meetings of the twelve elected representatives are held the first Monday of every month (except July). This council is established to be a voice for community concerns and to formalize communication and coordination with King County government. The West Hill Community Council also holds communitywide meetings quarterly. F. Health and Human Service Programs The following is a very brief summary of the major services and programs King County provides to West Hill residents. There are also numerous public and private social and human services not discussed in this report. A 1990 community survey indicates that West Hill's residents are served primarily by service providers located within the city limits of Seattle, Renton and Tukwila. The Seattle-King County Department of Public Health operates regional comprehensive public health clinics in cities and unincorporated areas. West Hill residents are served by the Renton Public Health Center. The King County Department of Community and Human Services (DCHS)provides funding to a wide variety of local agencies that serve County residents without respect to jurisdictional boundaries. Programs funded by DCHS include children and family services, community development projects, developmental disabilities, domestic violence, mental health, public defense, senior services, Veterans services and youth services. There is a new West Hill Family Enrichment Center at the Dimmitt Middle School site. Classes and workshops (with childcare provided) on parenting and job readiness are planned. Service providers using the facility include: the Program for Early Parent Support(PEPS), the Children's Home Society, King County Youth Employment Services, Kid's Corner from Valley Medical Center, and the Seattle/King County Department of Public Health. West Hill Community Profile,Public Review Draft 29 July 1997 IV. SUMMARY OF MAJOR DIRECT SERVICES PROVIDED BY KING COUNTY IN WEST HILL King County provides a broad range of services to the residents of the unincorporated West Hill area, some are local services provided in lieu of a city government while others are regional services provided to all citizens of the county regardless of their specific local jurisdiction. In this section of the community profile, the concentration is on the four major local services provided by the county: police, roads, surface water management, and parks and recreation. A. King County Department of Public Safety The King County Department of Public Safety provides police services to the residents and businesses of West Hill. The equivalent of twenty-two full time uniform and civilian staff serve West Hill in a variety of classifications. They provide comprehensive police service including a storefront precinct in the Skyway business district. Precinct-level services include: community crime prevention, an anti-violence team, community service officers,the DARE program, and reactive patrols and cost about $1.68 million per year. Regional police services provided to West Hill by the KCDPS as needed include air support, bomb disposal, canine unit, 911 communications, a drug enforcement unit, major crimes *There are three primary overhead calculations(CX("current expense fund"or"general government"),division and department) included in the service cost estimates.The costs included in these overhead calculations vary among departments. West Hill Community Profile,Public Review Draft 30 July 1997 detectives, and DWI patrols. Regional police services used for the West Hill community cost about $492,000 annually. B. Road services Division The King County Road services Division (RSD) provides roadway maintenance and traffic operations services to unincorporated areas including West Hill and plans, designs and constructs road capital projects. RSD maintains West Hill's traffic signs, signals, traffic counters and pavement markings, and stripes about 25 miles of its roads each year. Traffic operations maintenance costs an estimated $62,000 per year for West Hill. Maintaining the roadways includes paving and resurfacing, landscaping, guardrail cleaning and repair, shoulder grading and restoration, and ditch and drain system cleaning. Estimated annual costs for roadway maintenance in West Hill are $280,000. Recently completed and currently planned roads capital projects are described in detail later. C. Water and Land Resources Division • The King County Water and Land Resources Division (WLRD) services include watershed management, resolution of local drainage and water quality problems, capital facilities construction and maintenance, and public education. Some of these services are local, municipal type services and others are regional. The Water and Land Resources Division is funded by a service charge on all developed properties in the unincorporated service area. Residential properties are charged a flat rate of $85.02 per year while multi-family and commercial properties vary according to the percentage of property covered by impervious surface. (Refer also to Chapter V. for more information on revenues). Service costs are not accounted for by specific geographic areas of the WLRD service area. Therefore, the following program cost estimates are West Hill's proportionate share of the entire program budget. WLRD inspects and maintains West Hill's three residential, 20 commercial, and two regional drainage facilities. WLRD spends about $49,000 annually on West Hill drainage facilities and services. Public education and community involvement costs are estimated at $10,000 yearly and include workshops, stream cleanups, school programs, and grants for community projects. Water quality programs for West Hill's two major watersheds, the Green/Duwamish River and Cedar River/Lake Washington, include the creation of watershed forums, business partnerships, and drainage mapping. Watershed management services cost an estimated $190,000 per year. West Hill Community Profile,Public Review Draft 31 July 1997 a Other program cost estimates are general program, $70,000, capital improvement reserve, $131,000,regional services, $26,000 and CIP bonding debt service, $81,000. A comprehensive drainage plan for the West Hill area(funded at $180,000) is being prepared in 1997. The plan will identify and document drainage problems, identify alternative drainage system options and make recommendations for solutions. After the plan has been completed, a schedule for design and construction can be developed. Recently completed and currently planned drainage capital projects are described in a subsequent section. In addition, three small CIP drainage projects which cost $87,500 were constructed in 1992. D. Department of Parks and Recreation The King County Department of Parks and Recreation operates and maintains the 24.6 acres of public parks in West Hill, Bryn Mawr Park and Skyway Park. The Department expects to spend $76,000 in 1997 to maintain these two parks and $181,000 (partially funded by the criminal justice levy) for recreation programs provided in the West Hill Community area. The recreation programs are: After School Playground programs; Summertime Playground programs; Literacy Camps; and Teen Center programs. Parks and recreation capital projects, both recently completed and currently planned, are described in the following section. E. Recent and Planned King County Capital Improvement Projects in West Hill The Road services Division has budgeted funds to construct curbs, gutters and sidewalks along the south side of Renton Avenue South between 74th Avenue South and 68th Avenue South. The project is budgeted at $180,000. This is the second phase of safety improvements in the Skyway business district; similar work on the north side of the street, and installation of a signal at 74th Avenue South, was completed in 1995 for $420,000. Installation is currently in progress on a new signal at the intersection of Rainier Avenue South and South 115th Place. It is expected to cost about $170,000. King County also plans to construct sidewalks to enhance access to the new West Hill Community Center at the Dimmitt Middle School site. The improvements are expected to cost $610,000 and construction is planned to begin in 1998. These projects include: • Curbs, gutters and sidewalks along 80th Ave. S. between S. 124th St. and S. 122nd St. • Sidewalks on the north side of S. 124th between 76th Ave. S. and 80th Ave. S. • Sidewalks along 78th Ave. S. between S. 124th St. and S. 120th St. Twelve small projects totaling $197,000 will have been constructed between 1995 and 1997 as part of the school pathways program. The school pathways program is a joint activity of King County and the school districts. Each spring,the Renton School District submits a prioritized list West Hill Community Profile,Public Review Draft 32 July 1997 • of projects around their schools in the unincorporated parts of the district and the Roads Division selects projects for construction based on priority, feasibility, and cost. The Water and Land Resources Division designed and constructed three small drainage improvement projects in West Hill over the last five years at a total cost of$87,500. The projects originated from drainage complaints or neighborhood flooding situations. Funding for 1997 construction of the West Hill Community Center at the Dimmitt Middle School site has been adopted at $985,000 as part of the Department of Parks and Recreation CIP budget. Design funds ($50,000)were available in 1996 and construction is scheduled to begin on the property owned by the Renton School District in April of 1997. The Transit Division will install two new bus shelters in the West Hill area within the next several years, each costing $15,000. The shelters will be added at the westbound bus stop at Renton Avenue South and 74th Avenue South, and the westbound bus stop at Martin Luther King, Jr. Way South and South 129th Street. The Wastewater Treatment Division is beginning a $7.9 million project in 1997 at the Bryn Mawr siphon, a County-owned pipeline which is the connection point between the Bryn Mawr- Lakeridge Sewer District and the King County wastewater treatment system. When heavy rainfall occurs, the siphon is overtaxed; an average of 6 to 10 overflows per year. Several alternatives are being considered, including: expansion of the siphon and conveyance capacity, rehabilitation of the Bryn Mawr-Lakeridge system to reduce infiltration and inflow, construction of a storage tank, or some combination of the alternative solutions. Construction will begin in the Fall of 1997 on the pipeline in coordination with work that Boeing is doing so that the ground doesn't have to be dug up twice. The King County Department of Community and Human Services (DCHS) spent $1.25 million on community development projects in West Hill between 1992 and 1996, an average of $250,000 per year. The Vue Mobile Home Park was purchased and rehabilitated to preserve the 47 units as affordable housing. The Campbell Hill Apartments, an 88-unit complex, was purchased and rehabilitated, creating 12 units for low income households. West Hill Community Profile,Public Review Draft 33 July 1997 Table 10.

WEST HILL TAX AND FEE REVENUES Revenues to King County from unincorporated areas include property and general sales taxes, surface water service charges, motor vehicle and real estate excise taxes, license fees, and taxes collected in unincorporated areas from liquor, cable television franchises and gasoline. In incorporated areas, these are revenues that generally are received by the city. The County also receives another portion of the property taxes paid by all property owners in the county, as well as a portion of all retail sales. Estimates of these revenues are not included in this discussion. A. West Hill Property Taxes and Fees Ad Valorum Property Taxes are based on the assessed value (AV) of the property. The total assessed value of the property in unincorporated West Hill was $674.5 million in 1997 and the total property tax to be paid by the West Hill community is approximately as follows: The tax rate for any individual parcel within West Hill will vary depending upon the property's water, sewer, and fire district. The portion of the property taxes received exclusively from unincorporated areas, for services to unincorporated areas are the unincorporated area road levy and most of the surface water management service charge. Funds for regional services provided by King County are paid by all property owners in the County. The remainder of the property tax revenue goes to other taxing entities.

This fee is not based on AV.) B. Local Retail Sales Tax Revenue Local retail sales taxes are collected by the state on purchases of taxable goods and services: One percent of the purchase price is returned to King County from sales in unincorporated areas. King County also receives 15°A of the local retail sales tax collected on sales within the cities. Businesses are required to code the location of the retail sales or services as well as the dollar amount of the transactions. For instance, taxes paid by a hypothetical $1 million per year construction company operating from West Hill, that does 80% of its work in Seattle, would be returned to the local jurisdictions as follows: West Hill Community Profile,Public Review Draft 37 July 1997 Total local sales tax collected (1% of$1,000,000): $10,000 Portion of sales tax returned to King County:: $3,200 [1%of$200,000 + 15%of 1%of $800,000] Portion of sales tax returned to Seattle: $6,800 [85% of 1% of$800,000] Washington State supplies the counties with detailed data on the taxable sales,taxes paid and the location of the sale. Businesses in West Hill (zip code 98178) reported 1996 sales of roughly $23 million. If all of the sales had been attributed to the unincorporated area, King County local sales tax revenues would have been about $227,000; but only 30% of the sales by businesses in West Hill were credited to the unincorporated area. The actual volume of business that should be attributed to the unincorporated area is not known. More research would be needed to assess the degree to which West Hill businesses operate in other jurisdictions. It is possible that errors in coding location are being made by some of the local businesses, in part because the postal address for West Hill is Seattle; some of the businesses may not realize that they are doing business in an unincorporated area. Data from the state on local retail sales taxes paid by businesses in the 98178 zip code in 1996, coded by the jurisdiction at the point of sale,results in this estimate for the annual sales tax revenue received by King County: Table 12: Reported Point of Sale- Businesses in 98178 SigagieliniallinitiiiiiiifiginilliiiiiiiNEMEEMIE n�t3 or ted ;a eA+'4V est 1 , .00%o 1.%local 7 `> 15% 0 6 of crt s 1% loca l tax to KC 15,156 >€ 15% of city's s 1% loca l tax to K C 1,9 05 15% o f city's 1% loc al tax to KC 1,352 2 15/o 0 of1%crts local tax to K C 1,3 34 4 0: of cities' o 1% local tax to KC 40 40 $95,050 West Hill Community Profile,Public Review Draft 38 July 1997 C.

We can't know exactly how many people or households will live in West Hill at some future date, but a general sense of expected growth can be stated. The actual level of growth that occurs will result from interaction among Countywide trends, market forces, and County and city policies. Market projections and County policy both predict moderate growth rates in the community in coming years. Population growth expected in West Hill can be measured in three ways: Forecasts, targets, and capacity. It is important to distinguish forecasts (predictions about what may occur, based on past trends and policy) from targets (policy statements about growth that is intended to occur) and capacity(the limit of the number of housing units that can be accommodated under current zoning). These three measures differ in the West Hill community. Forecast: Forecasts within King County are prepared by the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) using a set of computer models. The most recent forecasts were published in August 1995 and generally reflect King County Growth Management policy as well as past growth trends. West Hill is roughly approximated by "FAZ 4005," a forecasting zone that covers 82.5% of the community's 1990 population. The data show a 9%population increase (up 1,150) and an 18% increase in households (up 900) in the 20 year period from 1990 to 2010. The number of households grows faster than population, continuing the trend of declining household size. If this forecast is correct, West Hill will have about 13,700 people in about 5,900 households by 2010. Current estimates of population and households make this forecast appear somewhat conservative: in 1996 the community is more than halfway from 1990 to its 2010 population. The area's history of slow growth before 1990 probably led to this modest forecast. Target: Target numbers are difficult to measure in West Hill because complete data are available only for unincorporated Highline as a whole, including North Highline (White Center and Boulevard Park) as well as West Hill. West Hill constitutes about one third of Highline's land area and has about one fourth of its population and households. Land use, zoning, and the lot pattern are similar in West Hill and North Highline, so it seems reasonable to apply the land Area proportion to approximate West Hill's growth potential. However, the following allocations of target numbers are rough at best. In the King County Comprehensive Plan, the target for 20 years of unincorporated Highline growth is 1,400 to 1,900 new households. The target numbers indicate the policy intent of the Comprehensive Plan to accommodate at least this number of housing units before 2012. The target for all of urban unincorporated King County was set at 38,000 new households, far lower than past trends would lead us to expect. The low target reflects Growth Management policy of shifting growth from unincorporated areas to cities and especially to urban centers. West Hill Community Profile,Public Review Draft July, 1997 ,r The unincorporated targets for individual planning areas were based in large part on housing units already in early stages of approval ("in the pipeline"), so Highline, with few recent proposed subdivisions had a relatively low share of targeted growth. West Hill contains about • 33% of the current Highline land area; if that proportion is applied to the Highline target, the community can expect only 460 to 600 added households by 2012. This is about half the growth rate of the PSRC forecast. At recent rates of building permit issuance, West Hill may exceed that target before 2012. Capacity: According to the Land Capacity Task Force report of April 1997, unincorporated Highline has a net residential capacity of about 4,100 new housing units. A rough tabulation of West Hill capacity using the Task Force's methods and assumptions results in a capacity estimate of 1,470 new added units. About half of this capacity is in single family zones (R-6 and R-8). Three-fourths of the residential capacity is in vacant parcels covering 250 acres; one fourth is on potentially redevelopable parcels. With a capacity of over 1,400 new units, West Hill's ability to accommodate growth is comfortably above both the target and the forecast.

The study was recommended because of the large number of drainage complaints received in this area and because of the limited information on drainage basin hydrology, drainage system capacity, and potential downstream impacts. The funding for the West Hill Drainage Study was further justified by two concurrent requirements: One, the 1987 amendments to the Clean Water Act required a drainage inventory for all of unincorporated King County; this document fulfills these requirements for the West Hill area. Two, the Growth Management Act recommends annexation or incorporation of the West Hill area. The transfer of this area from King County to a local jurisdiction will require the transfer of all drainage information; this document will fulfill this MIR requirement. The goals of the study are to: 1. Compile existing drainage information for decisions relevant to land use planning and development and for drainage infrastructure Capital Improvement Program (CIP) project recommendations. 2. Compile existing drainage information for decisions relevant to water quality planning as required by the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System permit. 3. Allow for a single reference for drainage information, both for current use by King County, private developers, and for the eventual transfer to the newly annexed or incorporated cities. The study area consists of the unincorporated areas of King County that are currently surrounded by Seattle to the north, Renton to the south and east, and Tukwila to the south and west. Sections of this area are often referred to as West Hill, Skyway, Bryn Mawr, Earlington,Lakeridge, Campbell Hill, and Panorama View. The content of the study is divided into three sections. These include an inventory of the West Hill drainage system, hydrologic and hydraulic analysis of the drainage basins, and land use and CIP project recommendations. Section 1, Existing Water Resource Inventory, is divided into five subsections: • Subsections 1 and 2 are field inventories of the existing drainage system (including pipe systems, catch basins, natural drainage channels, and ditches) and field inventory of existing habitat (including natural drainage channels, wetlands, and open space). 1. D/99-1:MI01 1 1/08/99 r. West Hill Drainage Study Executive Summary and Acknowledgments • Subsection 3 discusses related drainage and CLP project information. This subsection gives a brief history of government agency drainage infrastructure programs and how to access this drainage CEP project information. It also gives a brief description of the development process as it relates to private drainage systems and discusses how to 4 access private drainage plans. • Subsection 4 discusses the various processes for recording and tracking drainage Iw! complaints. • Subsection 5 discusses relevant mapping and studies. This includes an overview of li other available resources relevant to drainage in the West Hill area and how to access this information. €4 4 Section 2, Hydrologic and Hydraulic Analysis, models the study area using the King County Runoff Time Series (KCRTS) hydrologic program, then analyzes the existing conveyance system to determine capacity. Section 3, Proposed Actions, utilizes the information from Sections 1 and 2 to generate a list si of capital projects and land use recommendations. 4 The Appendix to this document can be accessed by connecting to the KCDNR website at Iii www.metrokc.gov. The Appendix includes electronically transferable files, including all public domain Geographic Information System (GIS) maps, all KCRTS files, all hydrologic support files, and a copy of this document. 111 ACKNOWLEDGMENTSit This document is the result of a cooperative effort among the KCDNR's Wastewater Treatment and Water and Land Resources (WLR) Divisions, the West Hill community, other jurisdictions in the West Hill area, and the King County Department of Transportation's w (KCDOT's) Road Services Division. The Citizens Advisory Committee members provided valuable input on historical and current conditions, as well as assisting with local meetings, 4011 the draft plan review, and input on community needs and local flooding problems. II:41'1 We would like to acknowledge the excellent work completed by the KCDOT's Road Maintenance Division GIS mapping group. The Road Maintenance Division has its own Global Positioning System (GPS) community-based station that provides GPS data to public and private users. It has been active in GIS/GPS mapping since 1993 and is recognized as a wij pioneer in this field. Road Maintenance Division 3 has both assisted with completing the report and concurrently I constructed drainage fixes in the area. Division 3's knowledge of local flooding issues has '41., been invaluable in the preparation of this report. >; tii¢ iil D/99-1:MI01 2 1/08/99 low West Hill Drainage Study Executive Summary and Acknowledgments The WLR Division has loaned out GIS support for this project. The WLR Division's task has been to compile the nearly infinite amount of data from other sources and to prepare accurate,legible documents. r.. NOW 4 omor rr.. SOO D/99-1:MI01 3 1/08/99 Section 1 Existing Water Resource Inventory ..Y West Hill Drainage Study Section 1 —Existing Water Resource Inventory • SECTION 'I - EXISTING WATER RESOURCE INVENTORY The Existing Water Resource Inventory Section of this study is a compilation of all relevant water resource information available for the West Hill area. This section describes the available information and discusses how to access this information. Both the Addendum and this document will be published on the King County Department of Natural Resources (KCDNR) web page at www.metrokc.gov. 1.1 Drainage Systems Inventory This section documents the list of available maps relevant to the West Hill area. West Hill Drainage Inventor yMap The single most significant work product prepared as part of this study is the Drainage Inventory Map. The Drainage Inventory Map was surveyed and mapped by the King County Department of Transportation's (KCDOT's) Road Maintenance Division and the KCDNR. The survey work was started on October 23, 1996 and completed May 1, 1997. The informa- tion inventoried for this study includes roads drainage infrastructure (including pipe systems, culverts, catch basins, drainage ditches, and natural drainage channels). The KCDOT work was completed for drainage systems within or adjacent to King County right-of-way. The KCDOT work was augmented by a KCDNR Geographic Information System (GIS) survey, which included some of the off right-of-way drainage systems. These included natural Q- drainage channels, private pipe, and ditch systems. Both of these systems were field-reviewed by King County Wastewater Treatment Division personnel. The drainage inventory mapping was required as part of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. In 1987, amendments to the Clean Water Act created the requirement for municipal stormwater permits under the NPDES program, which was designed to reduce pollution in and improve the water quality of waters of the United States. These permits require the preparation of stormwater management programs that describe the measures the permittees are taking to protect water quality as it is affected by stormwater runoff. This includes mapping of drainage systems throughout unincorporated King County. The drainage information was mapped using the MCV-GPS data logger with Trimble PRO-XL 12-channel software/firmware. The horizontal and vertical error for the equipment used was submeter for the horizontal and 1.5 to 2 meters for the vertical. The data-logging procedure consisted of collecting Global Positioning System (GPS) readings for both the drainage features and the road centerline. Each of the GPS location points also included attribute information; this is text information such as flow direction, pipe size and type, and catch basin size. The drainage, road centerline, and attribute information is then ,,. downloaded on a daily basis to a computer file. The data-logging portion of the drainage study took approximately three months. D/99-1:MI01 4 1/08/99 r. West Hill Drainage Study Section 1 —Existing Water Resource Inventory The data processing and final map production was completed with ARCAD software, using a proprietary program that produces line work and feature symbols (including road centerlines, pipes, catch basins, and drainage channels mapping procedure was completed on )• The g PP gP July 23, 1997, taking three months to complete. The West Hill Drainage Study Inventory Map is a fold-out map located in a page sleeve found in Section 1, Referenced Figures. The GIS work described above is augmented with other geographic information, including political borders, contour lines, and a roads overlay. Ortho/Contourinformation Walker and Associates completed two mapping projects in the West Hill area. One project was a 1993 pro ject with the Seattle Water Department. This included aerial photography to complete a 100-scale, 2-foot contour interval digital map and imagery of the entire West Hill study area. Walker and Associates also completed a 1995 project with the City of Renton that covers portions of the West Hill area toward Renton. The work includes 1,200-scale aerial mapping with 1-meter accuracy contour intervals. The project also included digital, black and white, orthophotographic files at 1,200 scale. r King-County Lend Use and Zoning Maps The King County Land Use Map is based on the King County Comprehensive Plan (KCCP) and the community plans for unincorporated areas of the County. The land use map desig- nates general uses of the land through such categories as residential, commercial, industrial, and resources. The King County Zoning Map implements the land use designations. The 101 GIS zoning layer was created as a product of the Development Regulations Team in 1993 and 1994. Nancy Laswell, Legislative Analyst with the King County Council, and Greg Kipp, Department of Development and Environmental Services (DDES) Deputy Director, headed this multi-agency team. The team included GIS Section Supervisor George Horning as the project manager of the GIS land use database for unincorporated parcels, which included West Hill. The Land Use Map was completed in 1994. The West Hill area zoning portion of this map is shown in Section 1, Referenced Figures. The zoning information is augmented with an overlay, including King County Roads right- of-way and parcel boundary information. These were digitized from King County Assessor's maps. The zoning information was digitized from current DDES zoning maps. The hydrology section of this report modeled flows for both existing conditions and future • build-out conditions. The future build-out conditions assumed that the West Hill area will be built out to the full extent zoning will allow, and that both impervious surface and peak storm flows will increase proportionately. Any modifications to the 1994 zoning designations used in the report will require adoption of a new King County Council ordinance through D/99-1:MI01 5 1/08/99 West Hill Drainage Study Section 1 —Existing Water Resource Inventory .Ifs the annual KCCP amendment process. Changes to the zoning designations are maintained by DDES's GIS Section. Aerial Photography Walker and Associates completed more than 20 aerial mapping projects in the West Hill area. .�. These range in date from 1936 to 1997 and in scale from 1"=800' to 1"=4,500'. This information can be purchased from Walker and Associates by contacting Craig Berry at (206) 244-2300. The Washington State Department of Transportation's (WSDOT's) Aerial Photogrammetry Section has completed a number of mapping projects along the Martin Luther King Jr. Way (State Route 900) corridor. The prints and maps are available at the WSDOT District 1 Office, Plans and Right-of-Way Research Center. The information can be accessed by calling Jim Johnson, Transportation Technician of the Research Center, at (206) 440-4000. Natural Drainage System Information Extensive development in the West Hill area has significantly affected natural drainage systems (including streams, springs, and wetlands). Information on the history of natural drainage systems could be accessed from early land development surveys (including plats, subdivisions, and commercial developments), from early aerial photographs, and from King County DNR stream and wetland inventories. Field notes from these inventories have been included in the Appendix. Existing open channels were included in the GIS drainage inventory subsection of this report. Due to the difficulty in accessing many of these drainage systems on private property, the GIS mapping process normally included only survey shots at WIN locations with access, such as streams adjacent to roads. Soils Information At this time, the West Hill area has not been mapped for soils information. Geology The 1997 King County geology data was compiled by Derek Booth and Jill Sacket from existing United States Geological Survey (USGS) geology maps and King County basin plan mapping. West Hill/Skyway geology is based on the USGS 7.5-foot Des Moines (Booth et al. in review, 24,000 scale) and Renton (Mullineaux et al., 1965, 24,000 scale) quadrangles and a USGS Seattle quad (Waldron et al., 1962, approximately 31,000 scale). The West Hill Surficial Geology Map can be found in Section 1, Referenced Figures. Sanrtary Sewer lnfrastructuiv Development in a basin is closely associated with the available sanitary sewer infrastructure. Prior to developing properties to urban densities (as shown on the King County Land Use and Zoning Maps), the drainage basin will require sewer service. The West Hill area is serviced by three sewer districts: the City of Seattle Drainage and Wastewater Utility, the w. D/99-1:MI01 6 1/08/99 West Hill Drainage Study Section 1 —Existing Water Resource Inventory Bryn Mawr-Lakeridge Water and Sewer District, and the Skyway Sewer and Water District. +wr Not all areas in a sewer district have sewer infrastructures in place. These areas are mapped on the Sewer Service Area Map found in Section 1, Referenced Figures. Other maps available (but not in this study) include: USGS Quadrangle Maps; Thomas Brothers Street Guide and Directory Map; King County Assessor's Office Parcel isi Identification Maps; King County DDES GIS Section City Directory Maps and Database; Washington State DNR Water Features (Hydrography) Maps; and USGS Public Land Survey Data. Mapping information is also available by accessing the referenced studies shown in Subsection 1.5 (Other Information) of this study. 1.2 Sensitive Areas Inventor y In general, the West Hill area is highly urbanized with little remaining forested land. it Degraded water quality in the creeks, little or no habitat diversity, and little or no large woody debris correlate with residential and commercial land use. Much of the historic habitat has been lost or damaged by urbanization. Habitat loss results from barriers to fish migration (for example, blocked or undersized culverts), poor water quality from stormwater runoff transporting pollutants into streams, and streambank erosion and landsliding in steep- walled ravines. Sedimentation in the tributary streams is induced by increased peak flows and tit erosion of steep ravines. Sediments carried downstream settle out in Lake Washington or the Duwamish River, with adverse impacts on water quality and fish habitat in these water bodies. Following is a description of the streams and wetlands in the West Hill area. These ecologically sensitive areas are mapped and labeled in Section 1, Referenced Figures. Streams Lake Washington Basth '“ The major tributary in the Lake Washington Basin portion of the West Hill area is Taylor Creek (Tributary 0464D), a small stream that flows 1.35 miles through unincorporated King County and the City of Seattle's Lakeridge Park in Dead Horse Canyon before discharging into southwest Lake Washington. Taylor Creek is a King County-designated Class 1 stream from Lake Washington to the culverts at Rainier Avenue, and is "unclassified" upstream of Rainier Avenue (King County Sensitive Areas Map Folio, 1995). The remainder of the 615-acre Taylor Creek watershed is largely characterized by high-density urban residential and commercial development. As a result, flows in the creek are generally "flashy," causing erosion of unprotected streambanks and excessive sediment deposition downstream. Sedimentation causes localized flooding and has the potential to smother salmon spawning grounds. D/99-1:M101 7 1/08/99 West Hill Drainage Study Section 1 —Existing Water Resource Inventory 41W The lower reach of Taylor Creek has been channelized and redirected through a series of culverts. Streambanks have been cleared of native vegetation. It is common to see lawns extending to the streambanks and rock retaining walls on the banks. Several vertical drops -• more than 1-foot high have developed in the stream, creating barriers to fish passage. For example, there is a 4-to 5-foot drop below a steep culvert where Taylor Creek crosses under Holyoke Way at the lower boundary of Lakeridge Park. The King Conservation District conducted a stream survey of Taylor Creek from Holyoke Way upstream. The slopes adjacent to the stream are steep, some as much as 90 percent. Recent streambank and ravine slumps and slides are causing a high sediment load in the channel substrate; over 35 percent of the channel substrate is now comprised of fine silt. Pools are very scarce in the creek (the pool/riffle ratio is 1 to 9) and of moderate quality. Deposition of sediment in the creek has reduced the pool volume and the associated fish rearing and refuge habitat. Spawning gravel is marginal in quality, that is, heterogeneous in size and usually without adjacent cover. The shallow depth of the water further restricts available spawning areas. The riparian zone is mainly deciduous, with a few scattered understory conifers such as western red cedar and hemlock. There is not much large woody debris in the stream due to the small diameter of the adjacent trees. This limits the quality of salmonid habitat as well. Aside from Taylor Creek, other streams in the Lake Washington Basin Portion of the West Hill area are: • Tributary 0464E, which is the headwaters of Taylor Creek. • Tributaries 0464B and 0464C, which join together and flow into Lake Washington. ■ Tributary 0464F, which is a separate tributary to Lake Washington and is partially free-flowing and partially piped. • Tributary 0464A and 0464G, which are located in the south end of the basin and are not free-flowing (channelized or piped underground). Duwamish River Basin There are two unnamed tributaries with unknown salmonid use: Tributary 0003I near Langston Road and 59th Avenue South, and Tributary 0003J near Langston Road and South 121st Street. Little diversity of in-stream habitat, rare occurrence of large woody debris, and residential land use characterize these tributaries. Wetlands S There are two wetlands located in the Lake Washington Basin portion of the West Hill area. The major wetland is in Subcatchment 4 on Tributary 0464E at river mile 0.25. This wetland provides flow attenuation and water quality enhancement functions for Tributaries 0464E and D/99-1:MI01 8 1/08/99 West Hill Drainage Study Section 1 —Existing Water Resource Inventory its 0464D. Another wetland is located south of South 115th Street at Tributary 0464D. The wetlands and tributaries are mapped and labeled in Section 1, Referenced Figures. There are two wetlands located in the Green/Duwamish Basin portion of the West Hill area (United States Fish and Wildlife Service National Wetlands Inventory, 1987). The larger wetland is a palustrine (freshwater, with water depth that is less than 20 meters), seasonally flooded wetland with emergent vegetation. This means that the plants in the wetland grow rooted in shallow water and stand vertically with their bark emerging from the water. The smaller wetland is a palustrine, open-water, permanently flooded wetland. 1.3 Drainage Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Project Inventory a King County'Department of Transportation—Drainage CIPfmjects The KCDOT is responsible for most of the drainage infrastructure in the West Hill area. This includes all drainage structures in maintained King County right-of-way. The drainage projects completed by the KCDOT are split into two distinct work units, drainage CIP projects and maintenance projects. The following outlines the KCDOT structure as it relates to drainage projects: 1. CIP projects exceed $25,000 for construction and are a new drainage system, or a substantial improvement of an existing system. These projects fall into two categories: a) Small Works projects are drainage projects with construction costs greater than $25,000 and less than $100,000. b) Large CIP projects are projects with construction costs greater than $100,000; they can also include smaller drainage projects associated with new road construction. 2. Maintenance projects include routine maintenance and small drainage improvement projects, defined below: a) Maintenance projects are projects that typically will not alter the existing drainage system. These projects have no upper dollar limit that dictates program responsibility or contracting procedures. b) Drainage Improvement projects upgrade right-of-way drainage at costs less than $25,000. KCDOT Maintenance is divided into a Special Operations group and a Division group. The Division group is responsible for routine maintenance within the four maintenance districts. The Special Operations group typically completes small projects as capital improvements, as ,r stated. The CIP projects completed by the KCDOT prior to July 1997 are included in the drainage inventory portion of this study. To locate backup files from the KCDOT or to access D/99-1:MI01 9 1/08/99 MIK West Hill Drainage Study Section 1 —Existing Water Resource Inventory information for projects constructed after July 1997, contact the KCDOT at the King County Administration Building, 500 Fourth Avenue, Seattle, Washington 98104, or call (206) 296-8100. Information from the King County Road Maintenance Division is cataloged by project location and the year constructed. This information can be queried from Thomas Brothers Maps with the project number flagged on the map. The projects are flagged on the Thomas Brothers Map yearly and begin with the 1978 Thomas Brothers series. The project number can then be used to reference the project file. King CounfyDepartrrientof Natural Resourt'es—Drainage CIF Fivjects The KCDNR is responsible for a wide variety of drainage CIP projects, including regional stormwater detention,stormwater conveyance, hillside stabilization, and habitat restoration. Because of the KCDNR's diversity, the project selection process is often determined by the program of origin, such as the Basin Planning Program (now the Watershed Program), the Local Drainage Services Unit (now the Drainage Services Section) Large Capital Improvement Program, the Small Habitat Restoration Program, the Drainage and Habitat Improvement Program, or the Neighborhood Drainage Assistance Program (NDAP). Many of these programs target resource and habitat projects, which exclude most of the urbanized drainage systems found in the West Hill area. The KCDNR NDAP and the Drainage Services Section Large CIP projects address urban flooding issues. The NDAP is funded to assist in private drainage problems that are caused by upstream development and the associated increase in flows. The projects are prioritized throughout unincorporated King County by evaluating a flood damage impact score and are weighed against the project cost. The program is limited to projects that have construction costs less than $25,000. In 1998;King County approved $280,000 to construct additional drainage projects similar to these NDAP projects. The funding is targeted for the West Hill area;the projects are scheduled for construction in 1998 and 1999. Drainage Services projects are identified by special studies conducted by the Drainage Services Section. The recommended CIPs are prioritized and funded as individual projects. Design and construction management is completed by the King County Wastewater Treatment Division's Surface Water Engineering and Environmental Services group. Drainage infrastructure completed prior to July 1997 is included in Subsection 1.1 (Drainage Systems Inventory) of this study. The drainage work completed by the KCDNR is shown on the West Hill Drainage Inventory Map, discussed in Subsection 1.1. Additional information on recent drainage projects constructed by the KCDNR can be located by calling the King County Water and Land Resources Division at (206) 296-6519. The Department tracks the CIP projects on a GIS database. The information from the database includes the project description, cost, and project number. More detailed information can be obtained by contacting the King County Wastewater Treatment Division's Surface Water Engineering and Environmental Services group at (206) 296-6519. The project number can be used to obtain D/99-1:M101 10 1/08/99 West Hill Drainage Study Section 1 —Existing Water Resource Inventory project construction plans and specifications, which are archived within the same division of King County. Washnrgton State Department of7ranspertation—Rands Drainage Information The WSDOT is responsible for drainage along State Route 900, also known as Martin Luther King Jr. Way. Drainage information along State Route 900 and other state highways can be accessed by contacting Jim Johnson, Transportation Technician with the WSDOT's Northwest Regional Office, Right-of-Way Research Center, at (206) 440-4000. This office is responsible for archiving right-of-way maps, contract plans, and as-built drawings (on oti microfiche). WSDOT drainage information for the Martin Luther King Jr. corridor in West Hill was researched as part of this study. The information from these as-built drawings was added to 74 the Drainage Study Inventory Map discussed in Subsection 1.1. m Private Drainage System Informatson Drainage information associated with land development (including plats, subdivisions, and commercial development) can be located by contacting the KCDOT Map Counter at (206) 296-6548. The Map Counter archives private drainage information and construction plans for plats, short plats, and all road construction projects. Commercial development , construction plans permitted after 1976 can be found in the King County Water and Land Resources Division's Drainage Services Section. Commercial development includes high- density, multi-family development, and will typically include some type of retention/ + ► detention facility. The Drainage Services Section's phone number is (206) 296-1900. Project files are inventoried by development name and address. The DDES Records Center should also have copies of all development plans for projects that require a permit. The Records Center's phone number is (206) 296-6696, or you could call Ruby Herron, Supervisor, at (206) 296-6719. Private drainage infrastructure completed prior to July 1997 and constructed in King County right-of-way is included in the West Hill Drainage Inventory Map, discussed in Subsection 1.1. Most of the private drainage infrastructure completed before this date has been included in the West Hill Drainage Inventory Map, as discussed in Subsection 1.1. a Other CIPProjects Emergency projects are typically flooding or landslide events that are funded in part by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Federal Highway Administration, or other state or federal emergency funds. There are also drainage projects completed by other King County divisions, or by other agencies or private groups that could not be accessed from either the gat KCDNR or KCDOT. These include stream restoration projects completed by private citizens or the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, drainage along the Burlington Northern Railroad right-of-way, or drainage work completed by King County Parks. Also, D/99-1:M101 1 1 1/08/99 West Hill Drainage Study Section 1 —Existing Water Resource Inventory pathway projects generated by Traffic or Traffic and Planning typically involve drainage work either by maintenance or private contractors. 1.4 Drainage Complaint Inventory 41.111 Over the past ten years, King County has received more than 200 drainage complaints from citizens in the West Hill area. Poorly draining soils, unstable hill slopes, filled ditches, older roads, and development without planned drainage systems all contribute to this history of drainage problems. In preparing this document, there were three resources available to us to gather information regarding drainage and erosion problems. Those resources include the King County Road Services Division, the King County Drainage Services Section, and King County Surface Water Engineering and Environmental Services group. Each of these resources identified drainage and erosion problems in the area. King Conn tyKoad Services Division The King County Road Services Division often receives calls from the community concerning flooding across streets, sidewalks, or driveways. The Road Services Division generally knows what the drainage problems are and where they are located, especially those problems that have become a maintenance routine year after year. The study team arranged field meetings with Road Services Division personnel to learn about the problems they were often encountering. Locations of the maintenance problem areas are shown on the West Hill Drainage Study Inventory Map found in Section 1, Referenced Figures. Drainage Complaints on file with the County Another resource of information was from the Drainage Services Section. The section has a computerized listing of drainage complaints that have been filed with the KCDNR. Each complaint was investigated by Drainage Services personnel, and a few of these complaints are included in this report. The location of these complaints is shown on the West Hill Drainage Study Inventory Map. A copy of this map can be found in Section 1, Referenced Figures. West Hill Drainage Questionnaize W.. A third resource identifying problematic drainage areas was compiled by the King County Surface Water Engineering and Environmental Services group as part of this study. The study team formulated a questionnaire and sent it (via bulk mail) to all the residents in the West Hill area. Approximately 4,000 questionnaires were sent out; 415 residents responded to them, 105 did not have any complaints or concerns, and 310 did have a drainage or erosion issue. The questionnaire was designed with the intent that community input would be useful for us to determine which drainage problems affected the most people and if a specific area had more complaints than others. If one area was saturated with complaints, this would be a good indicator that there may be a need for further investigation (perhaps a drainage system needs to be installed or the existing one is undersized, etc.). D/99-1:Mi01 12 1/08/99 West Hill Drainage Study Section 1 —Existing Water Resource Inventory Another reason for sending the questionnaire was to bring to our attention other major (non- private) problems that either the Road Services Division or the Drainage Services Section was not aware of. The locations of the problem areas, based on the questionnaires, are shown on the West Hill Drainage Study Inventory Map. Additionally, a sample copy of the questionnaire and a summary table of all the questionnaire responses can be found in the Appendix. 10 1.5 Other Information The following reports include relevant land use and/or drainage'information: Reconnaissance Report No. 28—Lake Washington Basin,Dated 1987 4 King County Natural Resources and Parks Division and Surface Water Management Division, Reconnaissance Report No. 28 — Lake Washington Basin, dated 1987. In 1985, the King County Council approved funding of the Planning Division to conduct a reconnaissance of 29 major drainage basins in King County. These investigations used available data and new field observations to examine geology, hydrology, and habitat conditions in order to determine existing and potential surface water problems. The reconnaissance report provides an evaluation of drainage conditions as an aid to policywit makers in developing more detailed regulatory measures and specific capital improvement plans. The report is viewed as a descriptive environmental narrative of the basin. The reconnaissance report can be located through the King County Water and Land Resources ' ' Division. West Hill CommuniO7Flan and Arra ZonugDocument The West Hill Community Plan and Area Zoning document, dated January 6, 1994, was completed by King County DDES. Developed by the Planning Division, the plan was adopted effective January 6, 1994. The final edited version was completed by King County DDES in 1995. This community plan is a six-to ten-year long-range policy and zoning document. This document responds to a broad range of communitywide issues, including community services, quality of infill development, provision of affordable housing, and beautification of the Skyway Business District. In addition, the land use map,policies, guidelines, and recommended projects contained in this document implement the KCCP and the 1990 Washington State Growth Management Act. , The KCCP is a long-range plan containing the 20-year version for King County. The plan contains 13 planning goals, as outlined in the 1990 Growth Management Act, giving direction to the urban, rural, and resource areas of unincorporated King County. Community plans are area-specific policies for land use, the environment, services and facilities, and capital improvements. Community plans must be consistent with the KCCP. Functional plans are issue-specific plans that may cover the entire County. The KCCP, community plans, and 4 D199-1:M101 13 1/08/99 West Hill Drainage Study Section 1 —Existing Water Resource Inventory •• functional plans are implemented through zoning, decisions on individual land-development proposals, annexations, and public spending decisions for facilities and services. -- King County Wastewater TreatrnentDivision—Skyway Inflow and Infiltration Study The King County Wastewater Treatment Division is working concurrently on the Skyway Inflow and Infiltration (I&I) Study. The Renton Treatment Plant has high levels of stormwater entering the system through inflow and infiltration. One of the areas the inflow and infiltration is coming from is the Bryn Mawr Sewer District. The additional flows will require upgrades to both the Bryn Mawr trunk line and the Bryn Mawr siphon. The I&I study was developed to determine how much flow was due to inflow and infiltration, and to determine which alternatives would be the most cost-effective. The alternatives are to either upgrade the system or to reduce the amount of inflow and infiltration. The results of the study are not yet definitive; however,they indicate that much of the inflow and infiltration is coming from side sewers that join the houses to the main line. Though in the preliminary stages, a decision has been made to undertake a small sewer rehabilitation project within the Bryn Mawr area and to create better connections. The rehabilitation project entails slip-lining the side sewers to determine how well this will reduce the inflow and infiltration. Should this method prove cost-effective in reducing the inflow and infiltration, then similar projects will be initiated. This document will be forwarded to the King County Wastewater Treatment Division's I&I study group. The I&I study group will use this document to locate problem drainage areas; these areas include undersized stormwater pipe systems and properties with drainage complaints. In the event that the I&I study locates a significant inflow point source, the I&I study group will be able to analyze the impact of diverting the inflow to a nearby stormwater drainage system. WestHlll CommunityFzvflle In 1997, the King County Office of Budget and Strategic Planning (renamed the Office of Regional Policy and Planning) completed the West Hill Community Profile. The Com- ... munity Profile updates the 1994 West Hill Community Plan,providing demographic, facilities and services, and tax and fee revenue information. The Profile is intended to provide baseline information for the governance options study that will be conducted in 1999. The governance project will analyze the options of annexation and incorporation. IMF D/99-1:MI01 14 1/08/99 West Hill Drainage Study Section 1 —Existing Water Resource Inventory REFERENCED FIGURES 1.

The analysis was completed using both existing (1997) land use conditions and future build-out conditions. The existing 1997 land OOP use conditions were based on 1996 aerial photographs and field observations completed during the 1997 drainage inventory. Future build-out condition land use data is based on the saturated development as dictated by the basin zoning maps. The zoning information is based on the 1994 West Hill Land Use Maps;access to this information is discussed in Subsection 1.1, King County Land Use Maps. Additional information can be found in the West Hill Community Plan and Area Zoning document, and is discussed in Subsection 1.5, Other Information. Future build-out conditions ""W do not assume onsite detention and do assume subcatchment connectivity will be the same as current conditions. The term "connectivity" refers'to how drainage systems connect. This includes how subcatchments are added together and how long the flow time is in each subcatchment. Most of the current land use for the Bryn Mawr and Lake Ridge basins closely approximates future build-out conditions. These basins are modeled for existing conditions only,with the assumption that future conditions will not change significantly. The KCRTS program was developed as a hydrologic modeling tool for western King County. The program utilizes a set of files containing unit-area continuous runoff records. The runoff files have been presimulated for a range of land-cover conditions and soil types for different regions of King County, using the United States Environmental Protection Agency's HSPF10 model. The KCRTS program allows the user to simulate the project hydrology through the scaling, summing, lagging, and level-pool routing of the runoff files. 2.1.B Hydrologic Modeling Process: The hydrologic modeling process was divided into four tasks: (1) define basin and subcatchment boundaries; (2) define basin hydrologic parameters; (3) define subcatchment hydraulic connectivity; (4) run the KCRTS model. 1. The first task, to delineate basins and subcatchments, was completed using field reconnaissance notes, topographic maps, and the West Hill Drainage Inventory Map. The West Hill study area is composed of 14 distinct basins. The basin designations used in this report are: D/99-1:MI01 16 1/08/99 irr West Hill Drainage Study - Section 2—Hydrologic and Hydraulic Analysis li r RE1 and RE2 — Two separate basins that drain toward Renton. GR1, GR2, and GR3 — Three separate basins that drain toward the Green River. BM1, BM2, BM3, and BM4— Four separate basins that drain from the Bryn Mawr area. iii TC — Taylor Creek (Dead Horse Canyon) Drainage Basin. a, LR1,LR2, LR3, and LR4— Four separate basins that drain from the Lakeridge area. r The basins were then divided into subcatchments. An example of dividing the basins { into subcatchments is shown by representation of the third Bryn Mawr Basin (BM3). This basin was subdivided into three subcatchments: BM3-1, BM3-2, and BM3-3. The subcatchments are numbered starting from the lowest elevation in the basin and increase as you move up the basin. Using the BM3 example, the BM3-1 subcatchment 00 would be the subcatchment adjacent to Lake Washington. The basin and subcatchment boundaries are shown on the West Hill Drainage Study ` Inventory Map located in Section 1, Referenced Figures. The basin and subcatchment boundaries can also be found on the West Hill Hydrologic Inventory Map shown in gilt the Hydrologic Summary figure in Section 2, Referenced Figures. } 2. The second task was to define the subcatchment hydrologic parameters for KCRTS '; input. The hydrologic parameters for the basins were derived for both the future build-out and existing land use conditions. These included land use information such as impervious surface (roads, parking areas, roof tops), forested areas,parks, lawns, iit wetlands, and open space. Soil types also influence the hydrologic parameters of the pervious areas; these are modeled as either outwash soils or till soils. The hydrologic parameters change with development, so two scenarios were modeled. They include: 'la ■ Define hydrologic parameters for future build-out conditions: Future build-out No conditions were completed by overlaying the proposed zoning map for the area over existing topography and drainage connectivity, then assuming the infrastructure of the basin allows for saturated development to match the zoning aii designation. The hydrologic parameters were based on tables developed by King County and published in the King County Surface Water Design Manual. l ■ Define hydrologic parameters for existing conditions: Existing conditions for the basin were used by overlaying the 1996 aerial photographs over the existing topography and drainage connectivity. Field information, collected in July 1997 as , y part of the drainage inventory work, was used to augment the 1996 aerial photographs. i The subcatchment hydrologic land use parameters table summarizes the required input used for the KCRTS program. This table is called the "West Hill Basins . Hydrologic Land Use Data" table, which can be found in Section 2, Referenced Figures. :: D/99-1:MI01 17 1/08/99 West Hill Drainage Study Section 2—Hydrologic and Hydraulic Analysis 3. The third task was to define subcatchment connectivity for input into the KCRTS model. The subcatchment connectivity defines how each of the subcatchments transfers stormwater from subcatchment to subcatchment. The subcatchment INNIP connectivity is influenced almost exclusively by the topography of the basin. The drainage"infrastructure is typically constructed using the natural topography, allowing positive stormwater drainage through the subcatchments. The "Hydrologic C Connectivity" table summarizes the required input used for the KCRTS program. This table can be found in Section 2, Referenced Figures. The Hydrologic C Connectivity table also summarizes stormwater travel time. This �• value is the summation of the time it takes rainfall to collect as sheet flow (stormwater prior to forming a channel), then the time it takes to flow in either an open channel or a pipe system (or both). The travel time is influenced by the length of the channel or pipe, the slope of the channel or pipe, and the roughness of the channel or pipe. 4. The last task was to run KCRTS using the data discussed above, then output the hydrologic information. 2.1.0 Analysis Summary: All of the basins in the West Hill area have been analyzed according to the process described in Subsection 2.1.B. The KCRTS model generates runoff for the 1.1-, 1.3-, 2-, 3-, 5-, 10-, 25-, 50-, and 100-year storm events for both the existing 1997 land use conditions and future build- out conditions. A table showing a summary of the peak flow output generated by KCRTS is found in Section 2, Referenced Figures. A summary map of the KCRTS model generated flows is also shown on the West Hill Hydrologic Summary Map located in Section 2, Referenced Figures. This fold-out map shows only the 25-year peak storm flows and graphically labels these flow rates at subcatchment confluence points. • 2.2 Hydraulic Study 2.2.A Overview: The theoretical analysis of culvert capacity can be extremely complex because of the wide range of possible flow controls, including outlet submergence, pipe geometry, and inlet geometry. A detailed analysis usually involves three separate studies: detailed backwater calculations to determine culvert capacity using outlet submergence; a barrel control study (Manning's equation) to determine pipe geometry control; and a calculation of culvert capacity using inlet control equations. The culvert capacity is typically controlled by the more restrictive of the three analyses. D/99-1:MI01. 18 1/08/99 West Hill Drainage Study Section 2—Hydrologic and Hydraulic Analysis The hydraulic study for the West Hill area was completed using the Federal Highway 4 Administration (FHWA) publication,Hydraulic Design of Highway Culverts, HDS No. 5 (Report No. FHWA-IP-85-15), September 1985. This publication defines the equations used to calculate capacity for culverts that are controlled by the culvert inlet geometry. Both the barrel control study and the backwater study were not used, for the following reasons: 1. The West Hill Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping does not show vertical control necessary for barrel and backwater control calculations. 2. The steep slopes within the West Hill area do not lend themselves to flatter pipe systems,which are more often either backwater or barrel controlled. 3. This hydraulic study calculated the capacity of the culvert, assuming an allowable buildup of stormwater on the upstream end (headwall) of the culvert. Using the culvert inlet control assumption, for almost all cases this can closely approximate the culvert's capacity. The hydraulic variables required to calculate pipe capacity using culvert inlet control include the culvert diameter and the allowable hydraulic head at the headwall; both variables are made available from the Drainage Inventory (GIS) work. A third variable, the culvert headwall shape, is also required, but has little effect on the capacity calculation and can generallybe P q � P Y considered a simple square-edge culvert with a headwall. This assumption was made for all pipe capacity calculations. 2.2.B Hydraulic Modeling Process: Due to the complexity and numerous pipe systems within the West Hill area, the hydraulic analysis was completed using the following process: 1. Calculate a table of the culvert conveyance capacities (based on inlet control) for all culvert diameters located in the study area. The table is based on a simple square-edge culvert with a headwall. The allowable hydraulic head was discretized into three representative headwater elevations: low, calculated at 1 foot of head; medium, calculated at 3 feet of head; and high, calculated at 6 feet of head. This information is presented in the "Culvert Conveyance" table, located in Section 2, Referenced Figures. 2. Calculate the 25-year flow values at the selected culvert. This value would be determined by examining the location of the culvert and its relationship to the hydrologic output generated from Subsection 2.1 of this study. This flow value would require some interpolation when analyzing culverts located between subcatchment confluence points. 3. Analyze the culvert capacity by determining if it exceeds the allowable 25-year flows. If the culvert capacity is less than the peak 25-year flow, then this culvert is determined , } to be "critical," and is coded as such on the West Hill Proposed CIP Map. This map D/99-1:MI01 19 1/08/99 1111 �• West Hill Drainage Study Section 2—Hydrologic and Hydraulic Analysis 41410 will illustrate which pipes are currently undersized or would be undersized in-the build-out condition. Refer to the West Hill Proposed CIP Map in Section 3, Referenced Figures. Hydraulic Modeling Process — Example: To clarify the procedure, a 30-inch culvert with 3 feet of allowable hydraulic head crosses Renton Avenue South. This pipe would have the capacity of 52.2 cubic feet per second (cfs), as shown in the "Culvert Conveyance" table located in Section 2, Referenced Figures. The culvert is in the Taylor Creek Basin, downstream of subcatchment TC-5. The flow nearest this point would be found in Section 2, Hydrologic and Hydraulic Analysis (2.1.B.3.), as TC-S6, which has a 25-year flow of 22.5 cfs. There would also be additional flow from TC-3 of 28.5 cfs. The total 25-year flow at the 30-inch culvert would be computed as the sum of the two values, or 50.9 cfs. Since 50.9 cfs is less than 52.2 cfs, the 30-inch pipe is not at capacity, and this particular 30-inch pipe would not be further analyzed in this study. However, this same pipe, when analyzed in the developed conditions, has a flow of 61.4 cfs,which exceeds the allowable 52.2 cfs. In this case, this pipe would be at capacity during a 25-year storm event, and this pipe would be considered "critical" and would be shown on the Proposed CIP Map, shown in Section 3, Referenced Figures. The pipes throughout the West Hill area were reviewed, using the hydrologic modeling process. Those pipes that were shown to be undersized are added to the Future Capital Improvement Projects and Actions subsection of Section 3, Proposed Actions. The pipe upgrades requiring more immediate attention are listed as individual projects, which are listed in Subsection 3.3. Other pipe systems and culverts that are undersized or will require ... upsizing are discussed in the Pipe Upgrades item, toward the end of Subsection 3.3. The following is a discussion regarding the simplifying assumptions used in the hydraulic analysis of this study: Both barrel and backwater control are dependent on the slope of the culvert, and would be the primary hydraulic control for culverts with slopes less than 0.5 percent and for flat pipe (0.5 to 1.5 percent) systems that are submerged at the outlet end of the pipe. Otherwise, the inlet control assumption will be acceptable. Culverts that are normally submerged at the outlet end, or are at less than 0.5 percent grade, should be analyzed using a more detailed hydraulic study. Most culverts with an allowable buildup of hydraulic head at the culvert entrance, even with a flat pipe/submerged outlet condition, can be analyzed for capacity using the inlet control assumption. The hydraulic study does not reflect damaged headwalls, problematic trash racks, catch basin grate inlet problems, or any effects due to debris or maintenance problems. D/99-1:M101 20 1/08/99 r West Hill Drainage Study Section 2—Hydrologic and Hydraulic Analysis The available hydraulic head is the maximum water elevation above the crown of the culvert inlet. This elevation can be obtained by observing the elevation difference shown on the 1-foot contour maps. To expedite the hydraulic analysis,the available hydraulic head was 1 discretized as either 1 foot, 3 feet, or 6 feet high, and was always calculated as the more oti conservative value. One scenario where this assumption would overestimate pipe capacity would be for perched pipe systems. Perched pipe systems are typically where the pipe crown is perched above the incoming ditch. The hydraulic study also assumed that the capacity of a ditch/pipe system would be limited by the pipe only. The culvert capacity was based on GIS survey information, which measured culvert diameters at catch basins and culvert daylight points. It has been observed that some of the early construction techniques used in the West Hill area used a wide assortment of pipe types and sizes. Usually these restrict flows, which overestimates the culvert capacity. The hydraulic analysis used KCRTS-generated, build-out condition flows. Any changes to planned, built-out zoning could significantly change these flows and alter the critical pipe list. 2.2.0 Analysis Summary: All of the West Hill storm drainage pipe systems within King County right-of-way, and some of the off-road right-of-way systems, have been analyzed according to the process above. Subsection 3.3,Future Capital Improvement Projects and Actions, discusses the "critical" pipe systems. A color-coded map illustrating those pipes that are critical either in existing conditions or build-out conditions is shown on the West Hill Drainage Study Proposed C1P Map, located in Section 3, Referenced Figures.

West Hill Drainage Study Section 3—Proposed Actions SECTION 3 — PROPOSED ACTIONS 3.1 Concurrent Actions AddrtYonal Study Needs The West Hill Drainage Study was targeted for areas of unincorporated King County. There is considerable overlap with both the Cities of Renton and Seattle, and to a lesser extent with the City of Tukwila. The overlap consists of: 1. Areas where the drainage basins and drainage infrastructure are located across City and County borders. 2. The Drainage Complaint Inventory, which includes all residents in Zip Code area 98178; this includes all of West Hill and part of Seattle, Tukwila, and Renton. 3. Locations where drainage outfalls from unincorporated King County then flows to a city. Two examples of this are: (1) drainage from the Taylor Creek Basin that is split between King County and the City of Seattle, which then flows into a ravine within Seattle jurisdiction; and •- (2) the outfall from Basins RE1 and RE2, which outfall toward the City of Renton. The basin area outside of unincorporated King County is currently neither inventoried in this study nor modeled for drainage conveyance properties. *1010 Concurrent Capital Improvement lzvgram Projects King County drainage programs are concurrently constructing Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects and completing drainage improvements as this study progresses, and will continue after completion of this study. These updates that are concurrently being completed include: 1. King County's allocation of$280,000 for design and construction of Skyway drainage projects. The fund was established to remedy a portion of the large number of drainage complaints located in this area. 2. Neighborhood Drainage Assistance Program (NDAP) projects, including projects constructed as "quick-fix" projects and larger NDAP CIP projects. 3. Road Services Division drainage projects, including drainage projects completed in conjunction with roads overlay work. 4. The City of Seattle and the King Conservation District are currently implementing *A` habitat restoration projects in the portion of Taylor Creek that flows within the City. The headwaters of Taylor Creek originate in the City of Seattle. Streambank and ravine erosion is contributing sediment to the lower reaches of Taylor Creek, and is also increasing flooding. D/99-1:MI01 23 1/08/99 +rr 44 E West Hill Drainage Study Section 3—Proposed Actions IIIli 5. The King County Wastewater Treatment Division is currently completing the Skyway Inflow and Infiltration study. A summary of this study is written up in Subsection 1.5 (Other Information) of this document. There has been coordination between the two studies to identify stormwater inflow sources into the sanitary system. In the event of locating these inflow sources,this document will assist in analyzing the impact of diverting the inflow to a nearby stormwater drainage system. rii An update showing concurrent drainage work has been included as the "Concurrent CIP" table found in Section 3, Referenced Figures. This table can also be accessed through the www.metrokc.gov website. It is our intention to update this file as new projects are completed. 3.2 Land Use Planning and Development Recommendations Both land use planning and land development in the West Hill area, as it relates to water resources, should consider the following facts: a • The West Hill drainage basins that discharge directly to Lake Washington and the Green River have no impact on either the Lake Washington water surface level or the Green River flood stage. The West Hill drainage basins will also have no effect on the tot hydraulics of these receiving waters under future built-out conditions. • Much of the West Hill area is either fully developed or is well on its way. Many of +rt these small, fully developed basins consist of heavily piped and landscaped systems that transfer drainage with poor water quality. a • The topographic and geologic formations found in the West Hill area create springs, seeps, and unstable soil conditions. Many of the remaining undeveloped lots are located near these areas. • The current lack of sanitary sewer infrastructure is the principal reason why there are still underdeveloped lots in the West Hill area. The underdeveloped basins that do hot have sanitary sewers are shown on the Sanitary Sewer Map found in Section 1, Referenced Figures;these include Basins GR1, GR2, and RE2. These basins, coinci- dentally, are the areas with the greatest potential for future increase in stormwater peak flows and, conversely,with the greatest potential for future drainage problems. • The City of Renton has expressed a concern about the erosion and debris problem rid with flows from Basin RE2. This problem will be further increased as this basin is developed. The flows are anticipated to increase by 34 percent. le Given these observations, this study recommends that the following development standards be incorporated in land development drainage review and CIP projects: • a D199-1:MIo1 24 1/08/99 West Hill Drainage Study Section 3—Proposed Actions ... 1. Drainage complaints, including those inventoried and mapped as part of this study, adjacent to and downstream of a proposed development, should be reviewed for impacts to the existing drainage complaint(s), and appropriate mitigation should be - required. 2. All permit submittals with potential drainage impacts to the West Hill area should be routed to King County Road Maintenance Division 3 for its review. This should include Preliminary Plat submittals, SEPA review, Commercial Use permits, Utility Right-of-Way Use permits, and Clearing and Grading permits. Division 3 should have budgeted resources to follow through with the review and coordination process required to oversee any potential drainage fixes or mitigation. ION 3. For drainage systems that have adequate capacity,there is no advantage to requiring detention. The cost to a developer includes construction of a retention/detention (R/D) facility and the cost of losing valuable building lots. These funds would better serve the public by upgrading existing drainage systems, fixing local drainage problems, or constructing additional water quality projects. A more detailed study of detention revenue offset, as a funding source, would be required to determine whether funds could be made available for any large drainage CIP projects. 4. West Hill currently has significant water quality impacts to both Lake Washington and the Green River. Development standards should target water quality issues. 5. Preliminary site assessments for new development should require information regarding seeps, springs, steep slopes, and slide potential, as well as information on local and downstream drainage complaints (as stated in item 1, above). This information should assist the engineer and plan reviewer in minimizing potential drainage or slide hazards associated with the site. 6. Require either regional stormwater detention, or require detention standards for Basin RE2. Construct a debris removal structure near the outlet of RE2-1. With that in mind, proposed development in these basins should be reviewed for: • Existing and proposed conveyance capacity of the downstream system. • Downstream impacts to both adjacent and downstream drainage complaints. • Local springs and seeps and potential impacts to local groundwater. • Slides and hillside instability. • Channel aggradation or degradation. ..r • Water quality impacts. Both Lake Washington and the Green River are significant environmental resources. Development in these basins should consider water quality ..•• issues as they relate to the receiving waters. • Maintenance requirements. D/99-1:MI01 25 1/08/99 tor West Hill Drainage Study Section 3—Proposed Actions In compliance with the 1990 King County Surface Water Design Manual (SWDM), stormwater 411 runoff from all new development in the West Hill area that has more than 5,000 square feet of new impervious surface and is subject to vehicle use shall be treated prior to discharge from the project site by onsite biofiltration measures. Redevelopment projects within the West Hill area should also apply the biofiltration requirements in the SWDM. 3.3 Future Capital Improvement Projects and Actions The following projects should be considered for future CIP action. The projects are `$ numbered to allow for cross-referencing the project description with the project location. The project location is mapped on the West Hill Drainage Study Proposed CIP Map, found in Section 3, Referenced Figures. ati Ptnject I—59th Avenue South (between South 112th and South 118th Streets) The lack of a drainage system on this avenue is causing erosion, shoulder damage, and • recurrent maintenance. The site also has the potential for flooding existing structures. The project estimate is $40,000 for design and construction. Project 2-11029-84th Avenue South Roadway drainage is severely eroding shoulder and private property (Arends residence) along this heavily used road. The flow needs to be tightlined to the bottom of the ravine, or place boulders to stabilize the channel and shoulder. The project estimate is $50,000 for design and 4 construction. Rit ect 3—8735South 117th Street sati There is serious erosion of property (Spears residence) due to a damaged drainage system. The existing system needs to be re-routed, replaced, or slip-lined. The project estimate is $20,000 for design and construction. Project 4—South 129th Shvet and Martin LutherKrngfr. Way Three drainage courses converge and flood private properties and structures. The project will require upgrading the piped drainage system and increasing the capacity of existing ditches near the confluence. The project will cost approximately $130,000 for design and construction. flvject 5'—Renton Avenue Drainage Improvement(between South 130th and Southwest Victoria Streets,on north side) Renton Avenue near South 132nd Street lacks adequate drainage collection. The road also has hillside seepage that collects on the road, all of which cause unsafe driving conditions and degradation of the road. Adding catch basins with storm grates and diverting groundwater seepage to nearby drainage collectors can solve the drainage-collection problem. The project estimate is $40,000 for design and construction. m D199-1:MI01 26 1108/99 West Hill Drainage Study Section 3—Proposed Actions 1101, Project 6—12241-56th Place South (Lloyd Residence) Surface water ponds along the frontage of four homes. There is no outlet to which the water can drain. A storm drainage system needs to be installed to collect the water and outlet it to a i"' nearby channel or ditch that has positive drainage, or tie the system into an existing system that has capacity. The project will cost approximately$50,000 to correct. Proect 7-11603 South 116th Street(McCalsky Residence) The existing drainage system often reaches capacity and flow overtops the catch basin and •�• floods nearby properties. The existing system needs to be cleaned and/or upgraded. The project will cost approximately$25,000 for design and construction. Project 8—Skyway Park Outlet Pipe The drainage from Skyway Park includes flows from subcatchments TC-9 and TC-7. The existing 25-year flow rate at this location is 26.2 cubic feet per second (cfs). The existing air drainage system consists of two open channels converging at the northerly end of Skyway Park; this drainage system flows into a 12-inch concrete pipe. The Skyway Park Outlet Pipe .., project would be an upgrade to this existing 12-inch drainage system. Project 9—South 1231dPlace near 84th Avenue Uncollected road runoff flows onto adjacent properties, therefore causing flooding problems. Springs located in the area and on the road cause road maintenance problems. The springs cause both safety concerns when this steep road freezes and increased degradation of the road. Project 10—Beacon Coal Mine RoadPnoject Moderate storm events cause Beacon Coal Mine Road to flood, which leads to road closures, public safety concerns, road degradation, and repair costs. Both culvert capacity problems at Beacon Coal Mine Road and backwater conditions from the Burlington Northern Railroad embankment cause flooding along the low areas of this road. Water from the wetland (southwesterly of the road) does not have a positive drainage outlet. This contributes to the flooding problems. The pipe capacity problem is caused by flows outletting from Basin GR1. This basin generates flow that outlets from a steep-sloped, undersized 18-inch pipe, then into a road ditch adjacent to Beacon Coal Mine Road. The existing ditch has limited capacity due to shallow grade and channel-width restrictions. The road ditch then drains to two 18-inch culverts that cross under the road and drain into the wetland. One of the 18-inch culverts is a corrugated metal pipe that is crushed on both sides. The second road-flooding mechanism is the backwater condition caused by limited conveyance under the Burlington Northern Railroad embankment. These culverts currently backwater into the wetland adjacent to Beacon Coal Mine Road. The backwater is generated from flow volumes from Basins GR1 and GR2. Both of these basins anticipate significant development and flow increases, which will greatly increase the problem at this location. D199-1:M101 27 1/08/99 err 1 West Hill Drainage Study Section 3—Proposed Actions 11 d The effect of the railroad embankment and culvert system on road flooding was not analyzed as part of this report because of the complexity of the analysis. The solution to the problem will also require a balance between upgrading the culverts under the Burlington Northern Railroad and fully utilizing the existing wetland for water quality benefits. Currently, the railroad embankment assists in retaining runoff in the wetland, which greatly assists in improving water quality prior to discharging into the Green River. The flooding problem at this location will intensify due to anticipated development in this basin. Development in this basin, and the associated flow increases, will soon follow the al recently proposed sewer Utility Local Improvement District in this basin. The increased flows will create a condition that will routinely flood the low area of the road. Short-term solutions to the flooding problem include: 1 1 lo 1. Ditch maintenance along the east side of Beacon Coal Mine Road and maintenance of the pipe outfall on the west side of the road. i 2. Repair of the crushed inlet and outlet of the existing 18-inch corrugated metal pipe to allow full utilization of this culvert. 3. Addition of another 18-inch culvert under Beacon Coal Mine Road. Raising Beacon Coal Mine Road or adding culverts under the Burlington Northern Railroad l embankment could permanently solve the flooding problem. The problem could also be addressed by constructing a large R/D facility above the problem area. Pfnject 11—Beacon Coal Mine Sediment Pond tit The outlet to Basin GR2 currently drains from a 36-inch reinforced concrete pipe (RCP). (See also Project 14, Pipeline Slipline at Martin Luther King Jr. Way to Beacon Coal Mine Road.) iii The 36-inch pipe then outlets to a small sediment pond, which drains to a 36-inch concrete culvert under Beacon Coal Mine Road. The existing sediment pond should be enlarged closer to the road. The outlet channel from the sediment pond should be graded to allow for a sti water quality swale. Maintenance of the pond could be transferred to the County and placed on an as-needed or yearly maintenance schedule. . • Project 12—Beacon Coal Mine Cleanup/Water Qi'nHOrftvject One of the water pollution sources, and aesthetic nuisances, is the waste dumping that has 4. avii occurred along Beacon Coal Mine Road. The water quality issues are associated with dumped refrigerators, car batteries, motor oil, and other contaminants. The cleanup project could be completed with volunteers, but equipment and equipment operators would be needed to move car bodies and to haul waste material from the site. a • - sir D199-1:M101 28 110em99 li 4 West Hill Drainage Study Section 3—Proposed Actions Project 13—Ifpeline Slrpline at Martin LutherKingjr. Way to Beacon Goa IMine Road All flows from Basin GR2 merge above Martin Luther King Jr. Way and are collected in a 36-inch RCP that drops 200 feet vertically and 500 feet horizontally to the Green River "" floodplain. The RCP is currently functioning without problems, but reinforced concrete pipe will separate when placed at steep slopes and under unstable soil conditions. The separated pipe will erode the pipe bedding, which will eventually lead to pipe failure. Failure of this pipe would be extremely costly and could be avoided by slip-lining the 500 feet of steep-slope RCP with continuously welded, high-density polyethylene pipe. Ptr ect 14— Water QivAlrtySwale near Mousier Road and Martirrzz LutherKingfr. Way Onsite runoff from Lily Industries often contains contaminants. Many of these contaminants are pigments used in the paint production industry that could be removed by diverting the onsite runoff to a water quality swale. The water quality swale would benefit the runoff from Basin GR1, which now outlets to the Green River. Project 15'—Renton Avenue Channel Stabil/zstion Flows from Basin RE2 merge at a pipe culvert under Renton Avenue near the Renton City limits. The existing 2-year storm event has a flow rate of close to 30 cfs, which has caused erosion problems at the pipe outfall. The basin build-out flow rate for the 2-year storm will be close to 50 cfs. This additional flow will further downcut the ravine and eventually undermine Renton Avenue. The stabilization project would include an energy dissipater at the pipe outfall and some bank protection downstream of the structure. Project 16—Taylor Creek Restoration,Phases 1,2,and 3 Two regional R/D facilities in the Taylor Creek Basin could be constructed near the confluence point of the north and south tributaries. The location of both facilities would utilize an existing road embankment for impoundment. Use of the embankment would greatly reduce the project cost by minimizing excavation and haul items. The project would provide the following benefits: -- 1. Water quality benefits and related habitat benefits for the mainstem of Taylor Creek. 2. Flow control, which would have the following benefits: • Reduce ravine downcutting and associated property damage. • Reduce flooding along 68th Avenue South and flooding north of Rainier Avenue South. • Reduce peak flow in Taylor Creek, allowing for use of the mainstem as a fisheries resource. • Increase mainstem base flow due to additional groundwater seepage from the imboundment area, which would assist in fisheries restoration. D199-1:M101 29 1/08/99 West Hill Drainage Study Section 3—Proposed Actions Constructing a fish passage and habitat improvement project from the mouth of Taylor Creek to 68th Avenue South would enhance the habitat benefits associated with construction of R/D projects. This project would require coordination with the City of Seattle,King County, and many property owners, but the project would be a net benefit to everyone. The ' . end results would be to re-establish much-needed natural resources in the West Hill area, and to reduce the potential for property damage due to slope failure and flooding. Project 16-1—Taylor Creek Restoration,Phase 1 This phase of the project would be located adjacent to and south of South 115th Street. The project would include design, a geotechnical analysis of the South 115th Street roadway embankment, right- of-way procurement, and construction of an R/D facility. By constructing a flow control structure adjacent to the embankment, the area currently could impound approximately 5 acre-feet of stormwater. The site could be excavated to impound 10 acre-feet. • Project 16-2—Taylor Creek Restoration,Phase 2 This phase of the project would be located adjacent to and southerly of Renton Avenue. The project would include design, a geotechnical analysis of the Renton Avenue roadway embankment, right-of-way procurement, and construction of an R/D facility. The area currently could impound approximately 50 acre-feet of stormwater without the need for additional excavation. Project 16 3—Taylor CreekRestoraflon,Phase The final phase of the Taylor Creek Restoration project would include fish passage and habitat restoration across the 800 feet of channel at the outlet end of Taylor Creek. Currently, this area includes either pipe with fish blocks or structural landscaping with little riparian vegetation. Completing Phases 1 and 2 of the project would be helpful in solving recurrent flooding problems in this area, which would be useful in negotiating right-of-way for habitat improvements on private property. The decreased flood flows resulting from the Phase 1 and 2 portions of the project would allow for fish passage structures to be retrofitted to existing culverts. The fish passage retrofits will sometimes decrease the capacity of a culvert. nr?ject 17—59th Avenue South at South 120th SfrvetDrainage Project The existing drainage system on the northeast corner of South 120th Street and Beacon Avenue consists of four catch basins connected by 12-inch pipe. This system has no outfall. „,r The project would extend the drainage system along 59th Avenue South, where it will tie into an existing system. Project 18—South 129th Street(between Mardi Luther Kingfr. Way and 64th Avenue South Water seeps over the sidewalk along the north side of South 129th Street. This creates hazardous conditions and requires maintenance year-round. Adding French drains behind the a D/99-1:MI01 30 1/08/99 asp West Hill Drainage Study Section 3—Proposed Actions sidewalk and tying these into the main storm drainage system should correct the problem. The project will cost approximately $25,000 to correct. Project 1,9—Renton Avenue ChanneJFtnjecfs,Phases 1 and2 One of the West Hill basins with the greatest potential for increased development is Basin RE2. A large section of this basin is not using a piped sewer system, but is currently in the sewer utility improvement process. The anticipated flow increases from this basin flow into the City of Renton. The City of Renton is concerned with increased flows from Basin RE2. The City is also concerned with the debris problems that could plug the inlet at the end of the ravine, which flows to the City's drainage system. IOW The Phase 1 project would be to construct a debris rack and maintenance access road at a location upstream of the inlet to the City's piped drainage system. The debris rack should be designed such that the problematic large debris is targeted for removal. Maintenance access should be made accessible to the City of Renton in the event County maintenance personal are unavailable during an emergency situation. The Phase 2 project would target the increased flows anticipated for this basin. The options would be to construct a regional R/D facility on the mainstem of channel. The location of • • the R/D facility should be upstream of 84th Avenue South, and downstream of the drainage outfall across South 132nd Street. •- An alternative to the Phase 2 project would be to require detention standards in Basin RE2 at or more restrictive than those required by the King County SWDM. The regional facility would be the preferred alternative. Construction costs for the regional facility could be acquired by offsetting the costs of onsite detention for new development in the basin. Pmject20—Ravine Hillside Stabilization at Stream Number 0464B This project would stabilize the hillside at the steepest sections of the ravine that outfall from Basin BM1. Increased development in this basin has caused downcutting and the potential for landslide events. Local flooding-ding Pf oblems The most widespread drainage problem in West Hill is local flooding due to poorly constructed, poorly maintained, or nonexistent drainage collection. Upon completion of the hydrology for the West Hill area and after review of the drainage complaints, it shows that most of the problems could not be grouped together as a common project, or combined together to be solved as a single capital improvement project. Many of the problems were caused by new development, typically residential construction, which did not properly tie-in VIM all the onsite storm runoff to an adequate drainage system. ••• The cost to correct all of these drainage problems would be beyond the funding limits of King County. Most of these projects would require work on private property, which can be cost- ... mg-1:Miom 31 iioatss West Hill Drainage Study Section 3—Proposed Actions prohibitive (due to right-of-way considerations) for a government agency to undertake. In the milt best interest of the public, King County should consider funding the following projects: • Projects that would provide property owners with the availability to drain into an adequate public drainage system. • Projects that would direct flows off of public right-of-way toward an adequate drainage system. • Projects that would upgrade a private permitted conveyance system, which, due to upstream development, no longer has capacity. Construction estimates for completing drainage projects that would address these types of projects were submitted independently by the King County Department of Natural Resources (KCDNR) and the King County Department of Transportation (KCDOT); both estimates were close to $1 million. Due to limitations in resources needed to map all problem locations and because of extensive • drainage problems in the area, the process for identifying these local drainage problems includes: • Information from the Road Services Division. • Drainage complaints on file with the County. • Information from the West Hill questionnaire. • Information collected during the drainage field survey. The first three items listed are discussed in Subsection 1.4 (Drainage Complaint Inventory). 1 The solutions to most of these problems include: • Enhancement/retrofitting of existing drainage collection. • Construction of local berms for flow diversion. • Construction of French drains to divert and collect seepage. iti • Construction of asphalt berms to divert and collect flow. • Construction of ditches. • Construction of curbs and gutter systems. at a Proposed actions to correct these problems include: 1. Additional funding for the Neighborhood Drainage Assistance Program. A total amount >r1 of$280,000 has been added to this program; all of this additional money will be used a D/99-1:M101 32 1/08/99 West Hill Drainage Study Section 3—Proposed Actions to correct West Hill drainage problems. Information on the program is discussed in Subsection 1.3 (Drainage CIP Project Inventory). Information regarding ongoing work is discussed in Subsection 3.1 (Concurrent Actions). 2. New Development Projects. All new development in the West Hill area will affect drainage. To minimize these impacts and in some cases to correct a local flooding problem, any new development would be required to assess drainage impacts and either mitigate or correct relevant drainage problems. A more detailed discussion of new development projects is included in Subsection 3.2 (Land Use Planning and Development Recommendations). 3. Road Services Division Small Capital Improvement Projects Program and Roads Overlay Program. Both of these programs are ongoing and are mentioned in Subsection 3.1 (Concurrent Actions). The Roads Overlay Program normally corrects drainage problems as part of the pre-leveling work completed prior to roads overlay. The pre- . leveling work will often correct drainage by resetting a catch basin elevation, recon- touring areas near drainage inlets, or constructing small drainage berms in problem areas. This study recommends budgeting resources within the Roads Overlay Program for the purpose of review and coordination required to oversee any potential drainage fixes identified in this report. This document, along with the Drainage Complaint Appendix, will be forwarded to the Overlay Program Manager to assist in locating the problem areas. 4. Proposed Ditches, Curbs, and Gutters. Most of the roads constructed in West Hill do not have curb and gutter systems, and in some cases they do not have road ditches to collect runoff. Most of these roads that had road runoff problems as a result of non- existent curb collection systems were solved by adding asphalt-concrete road curbs. A recommendation for this study is to add some type of road collection system, including a ditch, asphalt-concrete curb, or conventional curb and gutter as needed. The West Hill Drainage Study Proposed CJP Map (found in Section 3, Referenced Figures) highlights some of these collection systems. This map is based on KCDOT input, field observations, and complaint information. The information highlighted on -� the Proposed CIP Map is not a complete listing of all the roads with runoff collection problems. Pipe Upgrades Section 2 of this report details the process used to model the basin hydrology, then calculates the existing hydraulic capacity of the existing system. Section 2 analyzes the pipe capacity for .. both the existing basin conditions as well as the fully built-out conditions that are anticipated for West Hill. One outcome of that process was to target drainage systems that will require upsizing. The pipe systems that need to be upsized are labeled on the West Hill Drainage Study Proposed CIP Map. Some of the pipe-upsizing projects requiring more immediate attention are singled out and included among the numbered projects listed at the beginning of this subsection of the report. D/99-1:MI01 33 1/08/99 Y.. West Hill Drainage Study Section 3—Proposed Actions Potential Stann/Sewer lnflo w and Infiltration Pfr?jects The process of field-verifying the GIS data identified a number of drainage systems that were not built to County Standards. These drainage systems, which are listed on the Proposed CIP Map, contain outfall pipes that have no observable connection to a nearby drainage system, and are close to a sewer system. The substandard drainage systems should be inspected to determine whether they connect to the sewer system, then modified as needed. 3.4 Other Programs 0 Habitat ParfnersProgram King County has a volunteer program called Habitat Partners, which involves volunteers in long-term maintenance and monitoring of native plant revegetation and habitat restoration sites. Each person or group participating in the program adopts a section of newly planted streambank for one year, caring for the plants and monitoring the success of the plantings.

Please contact Doug Nine, Communication Specialist, at (206) 296-8228 regarding informa- tion about this program. OOP Education Initiatives Erosion and nonpoint pollution within the West Hill area result from everyday human activities. Nonpoint pollutants originating on each parcel of land can collectively become a serious threat to water quality in the West Hill area. Improper use of fertilizers, pesticides, ,., and other common household chemicals, and many "housekeeping" activities, are among the ways that people generate significant amounts of nonpoint pollution. Backyard practices can contribute to or control the erosion of one's land and the sedimentation of Swamp Creek. King County can sponsor workshops in the community on topics such as backyard erosion control,water quality improvements for the homeowner, and water quality regulations. Best management practices (BMPs) to be covered in the workshops and implemented by home- owners include proper lawn fertilization and yard maintenance, native vegetation planting, household hazardous waste and yard waste disposal, proper car-washing practices, animal- keeping practices,the use of low phosphate household and garden products, septic system maintenance, and recycling/composting. Displaying educational posters and brochures in local public libraries and businesses has the potential to educate many people who would see these materials while carrying out their daily activities. King County can coordinate with the public schools in the West Hill area to involve school children in designing posters and brochures with messages about water quality protection, fish habitat protection, and erosion control. There could be a poster contest followed by a display of the winning posters in the Skyway Public Library and local businesses. r.

WEST HILL CONCURRENT CIP TABLE • Introduction The concurrent CIP table lists all projects that have been completed during the preparation of this study. The following list also includes pending projects that are funded and scheduled for construction in the near future. This list also includes information on "other" work in progress in the West Hill area, which would include updates on other concurrent studies mentioned in the West Hill Drainage Study or any new information that is relevant to this drainage study. Spears Drainage Project— The Spears property, located at 8735 South 117th Place, was severely impacted by a failing private steel drain pipe installed across the steep front yard many years ago. Impacts included damage to the access stairs from the street above, damage to the home's basement and wooden deck foundation, and garden and yard erosion. In order to minimize disturbance to the steep slope, the old steeply sloped pipe was TV-inspected and then slip-lined with a smaller pipe inside the old leaky pipe. Mrs. Spears is delighted with the results of the project, which substantially reduced the drainage impacts on her property. The work was completed as part of the King County Water and Land Resources (WLR) Division Neighborhood Drainage Assistance Program in July of 1997. The problem is listed in Subsection 3.3, Future Capital Improvement Projects and Actions, Project 3. Saunders Drainage Project— This project routed flows safely down an alley and through two properties to the street below, eliminating flooding of several yards and one finished basement located near 10831 Auburn Avenue South (between Crestwood Drive South and Woodley Avenue South). Several local residents called in to express their thanks for a job well done. The work was completed as part of the King County WLR Division Neighborhood Drainage Assistance Program in December 1997. Taylor Creek Restoration Projects, Phases 2 and 3 — The Taylor Creek Restoration Projects consist of three phases, including the construction of two regional retention/detention facilities in the Taylor Creek Basin and a third phase, which includes stream restoration and fish passage work in the main channel. The project is discussed in Subsection 3.3, Future Capital Improvement Projects and Actions, Project 16. The Taylor Creek projects have been initiated due to two potential development projects associated with the creek. One project is currently being designed by the City of Seattle, and is almost identical to the Taylor Creek Phase 3 project discussed in Subsection 3.3 of the report. The City of Seattle project would include construction of a fish passage and habitat improve- ment project beginning at the mouth of Taylor Creek and extending past 68th Avenue South. This project would also include additional stream improvements along the mainstem of Taylor Creek. The preliminary findings from the City's design report indicate that the habitat improvements will require flow control in the upper basin. The findings in that report were similar to the recommendations in this report. D/99-1:MI02 Page 1 of 6 4/30/99 West Hill Concurrent CIP Table (continued) The second project would be the Taylor Creek Phase 2 project; this project would be located adjacent to and southerly of Renton Avenue. The project is currently in the design phase and has a preliminary cost share package in place. In order to complete the regional detention facility, the project will require: • Use of the road embankment to impound storm water. This will require a geotechnical analysis of the road embankment by the King County Department of Transportation. • Coordination with the developer, which will include onsite drainage modifications and cost offsetting for the regional detention pond. • Coordination with the City of Seattle, which will include implementation of the City of Seattle's downstream restoration work (the Phase 3 work). This work will be mitigation for the Phase 2 project. • Survey of the site. • Impact mitigation for the utilities at the project site. • Procurement of easements from private property owners for the area to be impounded. • Endangered Species Act (ESA) permit review and processing. • Permit acquisition from the King County Department of Development and Environmental Services (ODES) for construction of the project. At this time, King County has discussed each of the listed issues with the affected parties. Other than one property owner, there has been a positive response from everyone associated with this project. The City of Seattle and King County are currently attempting to obtain it easements for the project. If the project is constructed, the end result will be to re-establish much-needed natural resources in the West Hill area, and to reduce the potential for property damage due to slope failure and flooding in lower Taylor Creek. Rosenthal Drainage Project(7517 South Lakeridge Drive) — Drainage from uphill properties impacted three residential properties, including ponding in the alley access and parking areas, wet yards, and one wet basement. This project regraded 120 feet of an alley to route storm water to a new catch basin that was piped via a 6-inch drain pipe northwest of the drainage system on Crestwood Drive South. The project substantially reduced the drainage impacts, ' and King County staff received a letter of appreciation from the project residents. The work 1: was completed as part of the King County WLR Division Neighborhood Drainage Assistance tit Program in February 1998. Beacon Coal Mine Drainage Project— Beacon Coal Mine Road is a recurrent flooding problem caused by an inadequate drainage system. A discussion of the Beacon Coal Mine problem is discussed in Subsection 3.3, Future Capital Improvement Projects and Actions, Project 10. King County Roads Maintenance has enlarged the ditch along Beacon Coal Mine Road and cleaned the inlet and outlet to the two 18-inch culverts that cross the road. Also, at D/99-1:MI02 Page 2 of 6 4/30/99 West Hill Concurrent CIP Table (continued) WOO the request of the King County WLR Division, the Burlington Northern-Santa Fe Railroad cleaned out the drainage ditches and culverts on its property. The roadway has not flooded since the work was completed in 1997. *1111 Renton Avenue Drainage Project— King County Roads Maintenance completed an upgrade to the drainage collection system on the northeast side of Renton Avenue near Southeast 133rd Street. The work was completed in November of 1998 as part of the Road Overlay Program. The extent of the problem is discussed in Subsection 3.3, Future Capital Improvement Projects and Actions,Project 5. Allentown Acres Drainage Improvement (56th Place South near 57th Avenue South) — Surface water collects in a closed depression along the frontage of four homes near 12241-56th Place South (Lloyd Residence). A storm drainage system will be placed within King County right-of-way that will transport the flow to a nearby drainage ditch. Construction of this project should take place in 1999 and will be completed as part of the West Hill Neighborhood Drainage Assistance Program. The extent of the problem is discussed in Subsection 3.3, Future Capital Improvement Projects and Actions, Project 6. 59th Avenue South Drainage Project (between 112th Street and 118th Street) The area has �► safety concerns, road degradation, and maintenance costs due to the lack of a road drainage system. An asphalt gutter has been recently constructed along the east side of the street to direct flows away from the front of the properties. This work was completed by King County Roads Maintenance. The extent of the problem is discussed in Subsection 3.3, Future Capital Improvement Projects and Actions, Project 1. South 129th Street Drainage Project (between Martin Luther King Jr. Way and 64th) - Water seeps over a sidewalk, causing safety concerns, maintenance expenses, and road degradation. The project will collect the seepage in a 4-inch drain and rout the flows to a nearby drainage system. Construction of this project was completed in December 1998 as part of the West Hill Neighborhood Drainage Assistance Program. The extent of the problem is discussed in Subsection 3.3, Future Capital Improvement Projects and Actions, Project 18. South 123rd Place Drainage Improvement(near 84th Avenue) — Uncollected road runoff flows onto adjacent properties, causing flooding problems. Springs located in the area and on the roadway cause safety concerns and road maintenance problems. The project will route the seepage and roadway runoff to a recently constructed drainage system. This project was constructed in January 1999 and completed as part of the West Hill Neighborhood Drainage Assistance Program. The problem is discussed in Subsection 3.3, Future Capital Improvement Projects and Actions, Project 9. 11603 South 116th Street (McCalskey Residence) — The existing drainage system often reaches .. capacity and then flows overtop the catch basin and flood nearby properties. The problem is pi99-1:M102 Page 3 of 6 4f30/99 West Hill Concurrent CIP Table (continued) :11.401:00411'',',1, discussed in Subsection 3.3, Future Capital Improvement Projects and Actions, Project 7. This project was constructed in 1997. 59th Avenue South at South 120th Street— The existing drainage system consists of 12-inch pipe with no outfall. The project is discussed in Subsection 3.3, Future Capital Improvement Projects and Actions, Project 17. The drainage problem has been forwarded to King County DDES, which has an open permit for the drainage on this site. The developer will be required to fix this problem prior to King County's acceptance of the drainage system. East Riverton Gardens Drainage Improvement Project (at Martin Luther King Jr. Way and South 129th Street) — Two existing open drainage channels combine with local runoff and drain to an 18-inch concrete pipe. The 18-inch pipe and two open channels are undersized to carry the existing storm flows at this location. The project is discussed in Subsection 3.3, Future Capital Improvement Projects and Actions, Project 4. The project was constructed in December 1998 as part of the West Hill Neighborhood Drainage Assistance Program. Skyway Park Drainage Improvement Project (74th Avenue South and South 116th Street) itio Runoff from Lakeridge Elementary School and local roadway runoff combine to flood three homes at this location. The project is currently in the design phase. The flooding solution will require a new drainage system to be constructed in this area. A temporary fix for the problem would include the construction of a road curb, placed at the location where the flooding occurs. The project is scheduled for construction in 1999 as part of the West Hill Neighborhood Drainage Assistance Program. ' q Combined Sewer Overflow(CSO)Projects — During the field reconnaissance work associated with the West Hill Drainage Study, a number of storm drains were listed as potential CSOs. These CSOs are typically small storm drains that are connected to the sewer system. The Surface Water Engineering and Environmental Services group is currently working with the w King County Wastewater Treatment Division to verify these potential CSOs. In some cases, new storm drainage systems may be required to re-route storm water that is currently connected to the sewer system. Iti 44. Renton Avenue Emergency Repair Project- The King County Road Services Division mit completed repair work of a slide that damaged the Renton Avenue roadway and embankment. The slide occurred at the outfall of the 30-inch culvert under Renton Avenue that drains Basin RE2. The area had been down-cutting before the failure and targeted as a CIP project. 4 l The original project is discussed in Subsection 3.3, Future Capital Improvement Projects and Actions, Project 15. iii 64th Avenue South Drainage Improvement Project— Dense blackberry growth with other debris in the channel backflows onto private property then floods the Skyway Mobile Home Park.

The project is scheduled for 1999 construction and is currently awaiting ESA biological review. Upgraded GIS Drainage Information— The last paragraph of the Executive Summary mentions the availability of support files to be located on the King County Department of Natural Resources (DNR) website. Currently, the West Hill Drainage Inventory Map can be accessed on the Internet at: ftp://splash.metrokc.gov/w1r/pubout/graphics/maps. This map is the latest update to the West Hill Drainage Inventory Map found on the inside front cover sleeve. The electronic file is in Adobe Acrobat format; there is information on the King County DNR website if you need to download the Adobe software to view this file. City of Seattle Concurrent Capital Improvement Projects in Taylor Creek ... Seattle Public Utilities - Culverts Replacement Project— Taylor Creek flows through two culverts at the hairpin turn under Holyoke Way South and 68th Avenue South. The upper culvert is a 36-inch diameter concrete pipe with a length of 75 feet and ecology blocks that form a headwall at its entrance. The lower culvert is a 42-inch diameter corrugated metal pipe with a length of 73 feet and ecology blocks that.also form a headwall at its entrance. Both culverts are failing on their upstream sides and are barriers to fish migration. The primary objective of the Culverts Replacement Project is to eliminate barriers to fish migration. The project will evaluate and modify or replace the culverts to convey stream flows under the roadway with entrance and outlet designed to prevent erosion and allow fish migration. Project design is underway; construction is scheduled to begin in the summer of JIM 1999. King Conservation District-Restoration Projects— The City of Seattle Parks and Recreation Department received a Puget Sound Urban Resources Partnership Grant to fund a two-phase Taylor Creek restoration effort. The King Conservation District administered the grant and provided project design, coordination, and onsite construction supervision for the two phases. Work crews from the Seattle Conservation Corps and the King County World Conservation Corps completed Phase 1 of the project in summer 1996. This work involved the removal of three barriers to anadromous and resident fish passage and the development of additional flood storage space downstream of Rainier Avenue South. The success of the project was evident in the fall of 1996, when there was a sockeye salmon run (the first in 25 years) in the lower reach of Taylor Creek. In summer 1997, work crews from the King Conservation District and the Seattle OWL Conservation Corps completed Phase 2 of the Taylor Creek Restoration Project. Phase 2 focused on streambank erosion control and flood mitigation near Lakeridge Park in Dead Horse Canyon to provide bank stabilization and reduce downstream sediment deposition. Bioengineering techniques, including rock, coir (coconut fiber) wraps, and native vegetation, were used to stabilize two sections of eroding streambanks and to provide shade, shelter, and D/99-1:M102 Page 5 of 6 4/30/99 r West Hill Concurrent CIP Table (continued) forage areas for fish and wildlife. Portions of the stream channel were widened and banks were 10 pulled back to a shallow slope in order to better accommodate flood flows. Community Project— In April 1998, volunteers from the citizen group Friends of Dead Horse Canyon planted trees in Lakeridge Park in order to restore the forest canopy. In cooperation with the City of Seattle's Parks and Recreation Department, the group conducted a streamside planting project in October 1998 and hillside planting projects in November and December 1998. The newly planted trees will benefit fish habitat in the creek by shading the creek, thereby moderating summer water temperatures, by providing habitat for insects on which fish ► feed, and by contributing large woody debris to the creek. School children have also been involved in stewardship projects for Taylor Creek. Children t* from the Emerson School in Seattle released coho salmon fingerlings into the creek this past winter and will monitor the return of the coho to spawn in the creek in three to five years. 1 i 1.

UHRICH, CHUCK VITIRITTI, ANNE WATANABE, GEORGE WITTROCK, AND RANEY BUDD WRIGHT S West Hill Analysis of Governance Options EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • Background The Growth Management Act, King County Countywide Planning Policies, and the King County Comprehensive Plan encourage all unincorporated areas within King County's Urban Growth Boundary to pursue incorporated •�• status either through annexation or through incorporation. State law (RCW 36.70A.110)provides the underlying rationale for these policies: "In general, cities are the local government most appropriate to provide urban governmental services." In response to the direction of the Growth Management Act (GMA), in the early 1990s, King County and the suburban cities worked together to develop a framework of policies intended to guide jurisdictions as they planned for the future. These policies, referred to as the Countywide Planning Policies, are ,., King County and the suburban cities'interjurisdictional plan for implementing the goals of the Growth Management Act. As directed by the GMA, these Countywide Planning Policies explicitly address the status of unincorporated urban areas. Among other things, the policies call for: • Elimination of unincorporated urban islands between cities. • The adoption by each city of a Potential Annexation Area, in consultation with residential groups in the affected area. • The annexation or incorporation of all unincorporated areas within the urban growth boundary within a 20-year timeframe (1993-2013). The Countywide Planning Policies anticipate that, as this 20-year transition proceeds, the role of county government will evolve into one of providing regional services on a countywide basis and providing local services only to rural areas outside the Urban Growth Boundary. Given the clear direction of the Growth Management Act and the Countywide Planning Policies, King County government has tried to facilitate the governance transition of unincorporated urban areas. This report represents the County's latest effort to assist the citizen's of West Hill in determining which governance option is best suited to the needs of the community. In November 1997, the West Hill Community Council presented King County with a letter requesting a study assessing the governance alternatives -• available to West Hill. In response to the request, the King County Council allocated funding, and in December 1998, the Office of Regional Policy and Planning hired a consultant team led by ECONorthwest to prepare this governance options report. ECONorthwest's team included staff from Henderson,Young& Company and Pacific Rim Resources. August 24, 1999 I ECONorthwest West Hill Analysis of Governance Options Throughout the development of this options report, the consultants received valuable assistance from the members of the West Hill Community Advisory Panel (CAP). At all stages of the analysis, the members of the CAP served as *Vol advisors and as voices for the community, providing valuable insights into the perspective of West Hill residents, businesses, and community groups. The Panel's assistance has been of great value in determining both the V direction and the structure of this analysis. In addition to the,assistance and direction provided by the CAP, the MOP consultants also received substantial assistance from County staff and from staff at the City of Renton and the City of Seattle. Representatives of each of these three jurisdictions invested a great deal of time and effort to ensure that this report would provide accurate and comprehensive data describing levels of services, costs, and rates of taxation within their jurisdiction. Study Purpose ... This report provides West Hill residents and businesses with reliable and unbiased information with which to make well-informed decisions about their future. Residents are likely to have four primary questions when thinking about their local governance options: 1. Is an incorporated City of West Hill financially feasible? 2. How might our services or taxes change if we annex to a neighboring city? 4010 3. Is maintaining the status quo a viable option? 4. What do my neighbors think about these options? This report is intended to help answer these questions. To determine the feasibility of incorporation, this report includes a rigorous assessment of West Hill's financial position, evaluating the revenues available to a City of West Hill and the likely expenses such a city would incur. The assessment of annexation compares virtually all of the governmental services that would change upon annexation, comparing service levels and expenses for each service provided by King County with those of neighboring cities. Finally, to inform residents about what others in the area are thinking, the report includes results of a public survey of West Hill residents to identify current attitudes about both governmental preferences and the delivery of public services. Study Area The area included in this Governance Alternatives study is the West Hill area, an area generally south of Lake Washington, west of Renton, and •• ECONorthwest ii August 24, 1999 West Hill Analysis of Governance Options a southeast of Seattle. The West Hill area is shown on the map on page 5 of the main body of the report. What Are the Alternatives? ,.. Under the Growth Management Act, residents of urban unincorporated King County generally have three governance options: a1. Preserve the status quo—remaining part of unincorporated King County as long as possible. 2. Incorporate as a new city. 3. Annex to an adjoining city. Preserving the Status Quo When asked what form of governance West Hill residents preferred, a full 66 percent of respondents to the opinion survey said that they preferred the status quo. As it,was worded in the survey, the respondents indicated that "the best choice for the future"was to"stay as it is—part of unincorporated King County." Of the remainder, 30 percent favored annexation, and only 4 percent favored incorporation. While these responses are illuminating and help to clarify current attitudes, they also raise some important questions. First among these questions may be: "Is the status quo a viable, long-term option?" Is preserving the status quo really an option? ••• The answer to this question depends upon what one means when one says, "I want to preserve the status quo." If one means, simply, "I want to remain part of unincorporated King County."—then that is entirely possible. While State and county policies encourage unincorporated urban areas to pursue incorporated status, under current law it is not possible to force a community to either incorporate or annex to a neighboring city. If, on the other hand, one thinks of preserving the status quo as, "I wait West Hill to remain unincorporated, and I want to continue receiving the same levels of public services."—then the status quo is probably not an option. Given the Growth Management Act statutes and the Countywide Planning a Policies, at some point in the near future, King County will probably not be able to provide services to areas like West Hill at their current levels. As .� directed by state law, King County is now encouraging all unincorporated areas within the Urban Growth Boundary to pursue incorporated status. As more and more of these areas do so, the pool of revenues available to the County for providing local services will inevitably shrink. Given reduced August 24, 1999 iii ECONorthwest WWI West Hill Analysis of Governance Options 40. resources and the evolution of the County's role toward providing only regional services, local services levels in West Hill will probably decline if it remains unincorporated This report does not include an extensive analysis of the effects of maintaining the status quo in West Hill. Instead, it focuses on the two - options for the area to achieve incorporated status: incorporation as a new city and annexation to an existing city. Is Incorporation Feasible? The survey of West Hill residents showed that 66 percent of the respondents prefer that the area remain unincorporated as it is today, 30 percent favored annexation, and only 4 percent favored incorporation as a new city. When asked which alternative they would prefer if staying as it is were not an option, an overwhelming 84 percent of respondents favored annexation, while only 16 percent favored incorporation. Moreover, fiscal analysis indicates that the incorporation of West Hill is not financially feasible. Assuming existing tax rates, the revenues of an incorporated City of West Hill would not cover the costs for the services currently provided by King County. Given the lack of public support for incorporation and poor financial prospects of a new city, annexation is the most feasible path to incorporated status for West Hill. The incorporation analysis included in this report is based on a "same cost— same level of service" assumption. However, West Hill residents may decide they can make do with lower levels of services, or they could decide they are willing to tax themselves more heavily, thereby narrowing the gap between revenues and expenses. What Would Annexation Mean for Residents of West Hill? More than half of the survey respondents(52%) chose Renton as the city to which they would prefer to annex. Less than one-third(29%) chose Seattle, and 13% chose Tukwila. Only 6% had no preference. When asked why they selected a particular city for annexation, the reason most often stated by respondents was that they more closely identified with the chosen city. , Respondents to the survey indicated that they valued a range of both tangible and intangible services linked to their local governance. Of the intangible issues, many indicated that questions surrounding community image were important and had not yet been addressed to their satisfaction. Among the 41111 tangible services, respondents reported the most important were police, fire protection, and maintenance of roads and sidewalks. In addition, as one might expect, respondents indicated that they care a great deal about the - level of local taxes. ECONorthwest iv August 24, 1999 West Hill Analysis of Governance Options In the case of annexation, it is possible to compare some of the tangible services and costs in neighboring cities. In regard to police services, for example, one can ask, "When someone calls 911, how long does he or she have „�. to wait before a police officer arrives?" Similarly, one might ask, "Given the quality of services a neighboring city's police department provides, how much does that service cost the city's residents?" How attractive a particular city looks for annexation depends on what services a resident most values. If low property taxes are important, then Seattle looks better than either Renton or King County. If police response time is important, then Renton looks the ,.. best. Based on comparisons of a wide range of services, some of the more important findings include: • Taxes: Property tax rates in Seattle are lower (by about 2.3%) than in either Renton or unincorporated West Hill, but business taxes are higher. • Police While Seattle did not provide response times that were comparable to those reported by Renton and King County, between Renton and King County, Renton provides the faster response times by a substantial margin. In addition, given the number of calls they receive, Renton's police department appears to be very cost-efficient. • Library: Renton, Seattle, and King County all provide similar numbers of books per resident, but King County lags behind both Seattle and Renton in the amount of actual library space provided per resident. Seattle's library operating costs are a considerably higher per resident than either Renton's or King County's, and Seattle is now embarking on a"once in a lifetime" investment in its libraries. • Roads: Renton spends substantially more per resident on maintaining its roads than either Seattle or King County. In recent years, too, Renton has invested more per resident, and Renton plans to continue that trend over the coming years. VIP • Fire/EMS: Fire District#20 (the existing fire district in West Hill) spends much less to provide its fire protection and emergency medical services than does Renton or Seattle, but its response times are slower and its insurance rating is worse. Between Renton and Seattle, indicators are mixed. Renton has faster response times, but Seattle has a slightly better insurance rating, and it provides that service at slightly lower cost per resident.

INTRODUCTION AND REPORT ORGANIZATION Background The Growth Management Act, King County Countywide Planning Policies, and the King County Comprehensive Plan encourage all unincorporated areas within King CQunty's Urban Growth Boundary to pursue incorporated status •- either through annexation or through incorporation. State law (RCW 36.70A.110)provides the underlying rationale for these policies: "In general, cities are the local government most appropriate to provide urban governmental services." In response to the direction of the Growth Management Act (GMA), in the early 1990s, King County and the suburban cities worked together to develop a framework of policies intended to guide jurisdictions as they planned for the future.' These policies, referred to as the Countywide Planning Policies, are King County and the suburban cities' interjurisdictional plan for implementing the goals of the Growth Management Act. As directed by the GMA, these Countywide Planning Policies explicitly address the status of ,,. unincorporated urban areas. Among other things, the policies call for: • Elimination of unincorporated urban islands between cities. • The adoption by each city of a Potential Annexation Area, in consultation with residential groups in the affected area. • The annexation or incorporation of all unincorporated areas within the urban growth boundary within a 20-year timeframe (1993 -2013). The Countywide Planning Policies anticipate that, as this 20-year transition a proceeds, the role of county government will evolve into one of providing regional services on a countywide basis and providing local services only to rural areas outside the Urban Growth Boundary. Given the clear direction of the Growth Management Act and the Countywide Planning Policies, King County government has tried to facilitate the "" governance transition of unincorporated urban areas. This report represents the County's latest effort to assist the citizen's of West Hill in determining which governance option is best suited to the needs of the community. In November 1997, the West Hill Community Council presented King County with a letter requesting a study assessing the governance alternatives available to West Hill. In response to the request, the King County Council allocated funding, and in December 1998, the Office of Budget and Strategic Planning hired a consultant team led by ECONorthwest to prepare this governance options report. ECONorthwest's team included staff from Henderson, Young& Company and Pacific Rim Resources. • August 24, 1999 1 ECONorthwest West Hill Analysis of Governance Options Throughout the development of this governance options report, the members of the West Hill Community Advisory Panel(CAP) provided valuable assistance. At all stages of the analysis, the members of the CAP served as advisors and as voices for the community, providing valuable insights into the perspective of West Hill residents, businesses, and community groups. The Panel's assistance has been of great value in determining both the direction MIN and the structure of this analysis. VIMWhat are the governance alternatives? Under the Growth Management Act, three governance options are available to residents of urban unincorporated King County: 1. Preserve the status quo-remaining part of unincorporated King County as long as possible. WNW 2. Incorporate as a new city. 3. Annex to an adjoining city. Whatever option West Hill residents choose, under existing state law, a change in local governance will not occur without affirmative action by West Hill residents. A neighboring city, for example, cannot"take over" West Hill without the consent of West Hill residents through petition or vote, nor can King County force the area to annex to another city. Goals and objectives of the report This report provides West Hill residents and businesses with reliable and unbiased information with which to make well-informed decisions about their •- future. Given the available governance options, four primary questions are likely to be uppermost in residents' minds: •- 1. Is maintaining the status quo a viable option? 2. Is an incorporated City of West Hill financially feasible? ... 3. How might our services or taxes change if we annex to a neighboring city? 4. What do my neighbors think about these options? This report is intended to help answer these questions. This report examines issues of governance from the perspective of West Hill residents and businesses. This is not an assessment of whether annexation would be desirable from the viewpoint of surrounding cities. Clearly, these cities will have questions about what effects annexation might have on their budgets, and about how annexation might aid them in achieving their long- term goals. While these kinds of questions are important and need resolution before reaching final agreements on a governance change, the cities ECONorthwest 2 August 24, 1999 West Hill Analysis of Governance Options �„ themselves are in the best position to address them from the perspective of their citizens. �. Report Organization This report begins with a brief discussion of some of the general characteristics of the West Hill area, including basic statistical data used in our calculations. The next section reviews the findings from a survey designed to identify key issues on the minds of West Hill residents. The remaining sections of the report discuss West Hill's three governance options. In section four, we briefly discuss the viability of maintaining the status quo and remaining part of unincorporated King County. In section five, we discuss our analysis of the feasibility of incorporation as a new city. And in section six, we provide a detailed analysis of considerations surrounding annexation to neighboring cities. a41.111. a a a August 24, 1999 3 ECONorthwest i \ � v, Soixrh piercer PlaviieldIII J "r ••\ I Clarke Bea ark. ` West Hill Vicinity •. t _ m r er-island x sc1ov' e 1, ik.

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE STUDY AREA • West Hill is an urban unincorporated area bordering the southern end of Lake Washington and surrounded by the cities of Seattle, Tukwila, and Renton. The area is roughly 2.25 miles wide, when measured from east to a west, and slightly more than 2 miles long and includes the neighborhoods of Bryn Mawr, Lakeridge, Skyway, Earlington, Campbell Hill, Panorama View, and a commerial/industrial area south of Martin Luther King, Jr. Way. a Population While King County and the Puget Sound region have experienced significant population growth over the past 30 years, the population of West Hill has remained relatively stable. Current estimates placed the 1998 population of West Hill at 14,000, versus 12,500 in 1990. For the purposes of our assessment of the feasibility of incorporation, we projected a straight-line ,,. continuation of this 1990s growth trend, estimating that population will grow by 375 people from 1998 to year 2000. We therefore base our feasibility analysis on an estimated year 2000 West Hill population of 14,375. a Taxable Assessed Value The Assessors' Office of King County reports that the 1998 taxable assessed value of real and personal property in unincorporated West Hill was roughly $712 million($654 million in real property and$58 million in personal and intercounty utility/transportation property).1 In order to project this value to an assessed value for 1999 (the value on which year 2000 property taxes would be levied)we assume an inflation-adjusted growth rate of 3.5 percent. (Given a regional inflation rate of 2.5 percent2, this growth rate translates to a 6 percent nominal growth rate.) Applying this 3.5-percent real growth rate, we arrive at our final 1999 projection for taxable assessed value of roughly $737 million. In per capita terms, this translates to roughly$51,000 of taxable assessed value for each West Hill resident. a a 1 For further detail on assumptions underlying assessed value calculations,see Appendix B: Details of Fiscal Analysis of the Feasibility of Incorporation. wit 2 The U.S.Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the rate of inflation in Seattle-Tacoma-Bremerton between February 1998 and February 1999 was 2.5 percent. a- August 24, 1999 7 ECONorthwest • West Hill Analysis of Governance Options �` To allow us to get a sense of how these assessed values are distributed within the West Hill area, the Assessors' Office also provided us with data broken down by three separate subareas. (See map below.) According to this data, Area 1 exhibited a total assessed value of$156 million;Area 2 exhibited an assessed value of$436 million; and Area 3 exhibited $119 million. In order to help put these values in perspective, we also estimated the respective "" populations of each of these areas. While these population estimates are admittedly rough, when we combine them with the above assessed values, we generate assessed,values per resident as follows: Table 1: Estimated Subarea Assessed Values per Capita Subarea Assessed Value per Resident "' 1 $38,000 2 $61,000 .. 3 $44,000 j \Vest Hill ,Lts6u.:17,'IVIV.,'I Ag°1)- '''''' -.: ,.1., '',„, s,. _ aft 1!-,`''''''.:,-..• /:; 'Tie:: (..—ii ,„ ,,„ , , r. a �Gz�t t. �'�- art e y ! 124th St _ g t ,N .... .1-.K.A7,71 , s1 tstst +," 33 � "' .-- --\ lir .inL Kin.JrWay.. of W a-" ,. til:v;:'";;;•41 -.'t " c a a ECONorthwest 8 August 25, 1999 West Hill Analysis of Governance Options 3. PUBLIC SURVEY To identify the key issues on the minds of West Hill residents and businesses regarding governance preferences, we conducted a statistically valid survey of West Hill households. The survey assessed the community's preference of the governance alternatives as well as its satisfaction with present delivery of services, affinity towards surrounding cities, and residents' demographics. w a.r SURVEY PREPARATION AND DATA COLLECTION PRR employed a survey methodology designed to reach the broadest, most representative sample of households, providing the needed information in the most cost-effective manner. This methodology involved the following steps: 1. Identifying households within West Hill; 2. In conjunction with the West Hill Community Advisory Panel(CAP), developing a brief survey addressing the above-mentioned issues; 3. Pre-testing the surveys through a sample of up to 45 respondents (as identified by CAP members); 4. Revising the survey, based on feedback from the pre-test;3 5. Administering the survey by mail to a statistically valid sample of 2,167 West Hill residents; and 6. Entering, cleaning, and analyzing the data. SAMPLE PRR mailed surveys to 2,365 randomly identified residents in the census tracts within West Hill. On March 19, 1999, the US Postal service returned 198 surveys as undeliverable. By the closing date (May 5, 1999), 343 completed surveys were returned to PRR, a response rate of 16%. Given the West Hill estimated population of 14,0004, a sample of 343 gives a± 5.2 per cent margin of error. Stated differently, this means that, even if the survey had been mailed to the entire population of West Hill, there is a 95 percent probability that the pattern of responses to each question would be the same as this sample of 343, give or take 5.2 percent. A copy of a questionnaire may be found in Appendix G. 4 West Hill Community Profile,Public Review Draft King County, Office of Budget and ,.. Strategic Planning,Seattle,WA,July 1997. August 25, 1999 9 ECONorthwest West Hill Analysis of Governance Options DATA PROCESSING AND ANALYSIS Data processing consisted of sorting and organizing returned surveys; coding and entering quantitative responses;performing response range checks on quantitative variables in order to check for miscoded variables; and finally cleaning the data file. We conducted our statistical analyses using SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences). Statistical techniques employed include simple frequency analysis of all variables. In addition, we examined associations between independent (socio- demographic) variables and dependant variables using stratified (cross- tabulated) frequency tables; testing for significance using the Cramer's V statistics. To examine the correlation between respondents' satisfaction with and evaluation of importance of a series of public service and community elements, a gap analysis was performed. For each element, a mean satisfaction score and a mean importance score were determined, and the �.. difference between the two reported. Further details about this technique are provided in the Results section on page 13. Because the sample did not reflect the area's s ethnic and age proportions, adjusted analyses were performed on key governance outcomes. For each variable in question (for example, ethnicity), weights were assigned to reflect the true population distribution. Ethnicity adjustment was achieved by dividing the sample into four ethnic groups—African American, Asian/Pacific Islander, Caucasian, and"other"—and weighting to conform to the 1995 Estimated Census. For example, Caucasians were over-sampled; Caucasians' responses were weighted at less than one for the adjusted analysis. Age adjustment was achieved by dividing the population into three groups: 44 years of age and younger, 45 to 64, and 65 years of age and older. As surveys were mailed to the head of households, the true population was considered to be adults 20 years of age and older; the sample, therefore, was weighted to conform to the above-19-year-old age distribution reported in the 1990 Census. The purpose of weighting is discussed further in the Results section on page 13. SAMPLE CHARACTERISTICS Three hundred forty-three people returned completed surveys. The majority of respondents were Caucasian(76%) and male (65%). The respondents were typically older(38% were over sixty-five years of age). Nearly all owned their home (95%) and were registered to vote (97%), while very few (4%) owned a business in West Hill. All neighborhoods were represented: the Skyway and - 5 Cramer's V is discussed further in the Results section. • ...

IMPThe distribution of socio-demographic elements in the sample population, shown in Table 2, differs in several ways from the general population, as described in the 1990 United States Census6. The sample population is skewed towards male gender, Caucasian ethnicity, over 65 year age category and homeowners. When we made adjustments through statistical weighting, none proved to alter conclusions. Although comparison information about neighborhood representation was not available, we used an examination of respondent's census tract as a substitute for neighborhood and determined that adequate geographic representation was achieved.

Respondents reported their satisfaction with each element as high, medium, or low, or claimed no opinion. The distribution of responses to this question is shown in Table 3. Respondents are particularly satisfied with the fire and emergency medical services in West Hill(66%indicated a high satisfaction level) as well as the library (43%indicated high satisfaction). Respondents are notably dissatisfied, however, with road and sidewalk maintenance/construction (46% indicated low satisfaction), and with West Hill's image (39% indicated low satisfaction). The large number of people indicating no opinion, or not indicating anything for the"ability to finance public works" (43%), may indicated that some respondents were not comfortable with their knowledge of the area's financial position, or it might reflect a general lack of understanding of the term7. 7 One individual,in response to receiving a questionnaire,called Pacific Rim Resources to ask what financing public works meant.

Similar to satisfaction, they evaluated the importance of each element as high, medium, or low, or claimed no opinion. The distribution of responses is shown in Table 4. Respondents are particularly concerned about the police department (84% rated high importance), the fire and emergency medical services (83% indicated high importance), and the tax rate (63%rated high importance). Public utilities are also considered important, with water system and sewer/septic system rated at 63% and 59%, respectively. Schools, storm water/drainage, road and sidewalk construction/maintenance, and community image are also important, with at least 50% of respondents indicating these elements as highly important. Respondents are least concerned about parks and recreation (41%indicated high importance). �,, ECONorthwest 14 August 25, 1999 West Hill Analysis of Governance Options Table 4: Respondents' Rating of Importance of Public Service and Community Elements when Considering West Hill's Future Governance (N=343) • Public Service and Importance ...

Average satisfaction and importance ratings were determined for each of the elements by •- assigning the number 3 to a"high" response, 2 to a"medium", and 1 to a "low" response. No opinion and missing responses were not included in the analysis. The "gap", or the difference between satisfaction and importance, .•» was calculated by subtracting the importance score from the satisfaction score. The more negative the resulting gap score, the less likely the service element meets expectations. Figure 1 illustrates the average satisfaction, importance, and gap scores for each element. a • August 25, 1999 15 ECONorthwest West Hill Analysis of Governance Options Figure 1: Satisfaction vs. Importance of Public Service and Community Elements in West Hill (N=343) • 3-. 2.52 orirr „ n Fr T 1 1 111 1 1 1 i 1 uIuI ,.

As noted above in the Importance section, respondents indicate that the police department, fire/emergency medical services, tax rate, water system, and sewer/septic system are all highly important considerations for West Hill's future governance. Of these, they want continuing satisfactory performance of the fire/emergency medical services as West Hill's governance changes, along with an improvement over current circumstances in the tax rate, police, and water and sewer/septic systems. Additional important elements include community image, road and sidewalk maintenance/construction, and storm/water drainage; residents' current low satisfaction levels with these elements, when compared against the elements' perceived importance, indicates that these are additional opportunities for improvement as West Hill's governance changes. On the other end of the spectrum, the Skyway Library exceeds respondents' expectations; as future governance shifts in West Hill, special attention should be paid to maintaining the successful elements of the library. The positive gap score for ability to finance public works may be a reflection of the low"satisfaction" and relatively low"importance" response rate for this ECONorthwest 16 August 25, 1999 West Hill Analysis of Governance Options �•• element. Given low response rate (20%) compared to other questions and the complex nature of the question which requires and understanding of West Hill's tax base relative to other areas, it is difficult to interpret this result. • FUTURE GOVERNANCE OPTIONS Respondents' Choices We asked respondents a series of questions related to future governance options. If they had to choose today, the majority of respondents (66%) chose stay as it is over annexing to another city(30%). Incorporation was very vow unpopular; only 14 people (4%) chose it. If staying as it is were not an option, respondents again overwhelmingly chose annexation (84%) over incorporation (16%). When asked to which city their neighborhood should annex,just over half(52%) chose Renton. Less than one-third (29%) chose Seattle, and 13% chose Tukwila. Only 6% had no preference. When we turned the question around, asking to which city the neighborhood should NOT annex, Renton again emerged as the least unpopular, i.e. best, annexation choice. One quarter of respondents (25%)indicated that they would not want to annex to Renton, while fully half argued against both Seattle and Tukwila. Table 5 summarizes respondents' future governance preferences.

Skyway residents also favored Renton over Seattle, but least strongly. Looking at city choice by neighborhood showed that the ranking of choice cities was not affected. In each neighborhood, as overall, the first choice was clearly Renton. Seattle was either second or tied with Tukwila; in the case where it tied with Tukwila, the number of people answering the question was small, making generalization difficult.

It appears the choice is based in large part on the intangible feeling of"identity." The least popular city choice, Tukwila, does not resonate with people's concept of a city with which they identify. Renton highlights, when compared with Seattle and Tukwila, also include its parks and libraries. The police department, fire/emergency medical services, public utilities and tax rate, all identified as ..�• important when respondents considered West.Hill's future governance, are not overwhelmingly popular reasons for choosng Renton—chosen by a range of 24% to 51%. August 25, 1999 19 ECONorthwest " West Hill Analysis of Governance Options • The survey also provided for respondents to write in other reasons why they chose a particular city. All write-ins indicated schools as a reason; nine percent of people who chose Renton wrote in schools, one percent for Seattle, ..11/ and three percent for Tukwila. Since respondents feel that schools are important enough to write in on the `other"space provided, it is important to clarify within the community that the school system will remain the same, .�. regardless of future governance. Role of Socio-demographic Factors Using a statistical test for association8, further analyses was conducted on ,.,, key governance variables to see whether the respondent's gender, age category, ethnicity, census block, neighborhood, or length of residence in West Hill had any relation to the preferences he or she disclosed. These ,., analyses, described in more detail in the following section, suggests a possible relationship between the following socio-demographic elements and governance preferences: • Ethnicity on annexation city; • Age on best choice for West Hill's future and annexation city; • Length of residence on best choice for West Hill's future and annexation city; and • Neighborhood on annexation city9. However, we found no relation between a respondent's governance choices and gender, home ownership, business ownership, voting registration, or census tract. Ethnicity: A potential relationship appeared between a respondent's ethnicity and annexation city choice. For example, Caucasian respondents'choices mirrored the overall distribution: 59% for Renton, 23% for Seattle, and 13% for Tukwila. However, 66% of African Americans chose Seattle as the best �'- choice for annexation, with Renton coming in second(29% of African Americans'choice).

The older a person is, the more likely he or she is to choose stay as it is. Examination of annexation city choice by age shows Renton as first choice in all age categories; although the strength of choosing Renton varied among age categories, no trend was evident. To take into account the under-representation of younger age groups (under 65 years of age), adjusted analyses was performed again. Extra weight was given to responses of under-represented age groups to yield a distribution mirroring the overall population. This weighted, or adjusted, response could be assumed to reflect the true population. Ultimately, adjusting for age yielded results essentially the same as the unadjusted results for the „�, August 25, 1999 21 ECONorthwest West Hill Analysis of Governance Options WNW questions about annexation versus incorporation. Annexation city of choice was essentially the same as well, as shown in Table 9. MOP Table 9: Annexation City Choice, Frequencies Weighted to Represent the True Age Distribution for West Hill (N=343) Annexation City Adjusted Original Choice for Age (Unweighted) Renton 53% 52% Seattle 28% 29% Tukwila 12% 13% No preference 6% 6% S Length of Residence Length of residence in West Hill and respondent's age are inter-related; a young person cannot have lived in West Hill longer than he or she has been alive. Therefore, it is difficult to tease apart the effects of age versus those of length of residence. Like the older respondents, people who have lived longer in West Hill are more likely to choose staying as it is as the best choice for West Hill's future. Half of the people who have lived in West Hill for 5 years or less choose annexation as the best choice,with only 40% choosing to stay as it is; the majority of West Hill residents of 6 years or more choose to stay as it is. Similarly, 49% of residents of&years or less choose Seattle as the best annexation city, making Seattle the first choice of this group. Renton is selected as the best choice by 36%. Residents of 6 years and more consistently choose Renton as the best choice. Because we have no information on length of residence for the general population, adjusted analysis cannot be performed. However, based on the age-adjusted analysis, it is expected that an adjusted analysis would not yield different results than that indicated by the survey: CONCLUSIONS A statistically valid survey of West Hill residents suggests that the majority want West Hill to continue being governed as it is presently. However, faced with choosing between annexation and incorporation, the community overwhelmingly favors annexation. This preference is seen regardless of ... gender, age, ethnicity, or residential neighborhood. The West Hill community chooses Renton first for annexation, again, regardless of gender, age, or residential neighborhood. However, African �. - ECONorthwest 22 August 25, 1999 Mak West Hill Analysis of Governance Options American and Asian/Pacific Islander residents choose Seattle over Renton. Adjusted analysis was performed, whereby weights were assigned to reflect the true population distribution. Still, analysis adjusted for ethnicity IMP indicates that Renton remains the community's first choice. Community members prefer Renton foremost because they identify with that city. The majority (about 60%) also mention its library, parks and recreation as strong -- points, while just over half cite the good police department, fire department, and emergency medical services. .. West Hill residents identify the police department, fire department, emergency medical services, and the tax rate as primary factors influencing their decision regarding West Hill's future governance; parks and recreation are ranked relatively unimportant. The disparity between satisfaction with and importance of factors suggests areas where respondents' expectations are not being met. These areas include community image, road and sidewalk �.. construction/maintenance, tax rate, storm water drainage, police department, water system, and sewer/septic system. Improving perceptions of service quality in these areas as part of a governance change may build support for making a change.

PRESERVING THE STATUS QUO When asked what form of governance West Hill residents preferred, a full 66 percent of respondents to the opinion survey said that they preferred the status quo. As it was worded in the survey, the respondents indicated that «. "the best choice for the future"was to"stay as it is-part of unincorporated King County." Of the remainder, 30 percent favored annexation, and only 4 percent favored incorporation. While these responses are illuminating and a help to clarify current attitudes, they also raise some important questions. First among these questions may be: "Is the status quo a viable, long-term option?" a Is preserving the status quo really an option? I- The answer to this question depends upon what one means when one says, "I want to preserve the status quo." If one means, simply, "I want to remain part of unincorporated King County."—then that is entirely possible. While State and county policies encourage unincorporated urban areas to pursue incorporated status, under current law it is not possible to force a community to either incorporate or annex to a neighboring city. If, on the other hand, one thinks of preserving the status quo as, "I want *OltWest Hill to remain unincorporated, and I want to continue receiving the same levels of public services."—then the status quo is probably not an option. Given the Growth Management Act statutes and the Countywide Planning Policies, at some point in the near future, King County will probably not be able to provide services to areas like West Hill at their current levels. As directed by state law, King County is now encouraging all unincorporated areas within the Urban Growth Boundary to pursue incorporated status. As more and more of these areas do so, the pool of revenues available to the County for providing local services will inevitably shrink. Given reduced resources and the evolution of the County's role toward providing only regional services, local services levels in West Hill will probably decline if it remains unincorporated This report does not include an extensive analysis of the effects of ' maintaining the status quo in West Hill. Instead, it focuses on the two options for the area to achieve incorporated status: incorporation as a new city and annexation to an existing city. a August 25, 1999 25 ECONorthwest West Hill Analysis of Governance Options 5. ANALYSIS OF INCORPORATION ALTERNATIVE The vast majority of residents who responded to our public survey indicated that incorporation was the least attractive of the available alternatives. If continuation of the status quo remains an option, then most residents prefer this alternative. If remaining with the status quo is not an option, then most respondents indicated a preference for annexing to another city. In fact, based on our analysis of West Hill's fiscal position, we find that incorporation is not financially feasible. In order to provide readers with the most complete information possible, on the following pages we provide a �► thorough discussion of this assessment. Some readers may want to skip to the punch line and scan the following section only briefly, then jump ahead to our analysis of annexation alternatives beginning on page 49. Others, ••• however, wishing to ensure that they have a complete understanding of the underlying reasons for our finding, might want to take the time to read this entire section carefully. Does Incorporation of West Hill Appear Financially Feasible? No. Assuming existing tax rates, the revenues available to an incorporated City of West Hill would not be sufficient to pay for services currently ... provided by King County. If West Hill were a fully functioning city in the year 2000, core operating expenses for that year would exceed general fund revenues by roughly$1.1 million. Taking into account projected costs of capital investments, this shortfall grows to more than $1.31 million. Our analysis is based on a"same cost—same level of service" assumption. However, West Hill residents may decide they can make do with lower levels of services, or they could decide they are willing to tax themselves more heavily, thereby narrowing the gap between revenues and expenses. What are the Key Factors Affecting Feasibility? Urban municipalities typically rely on four major sources of funds: property taxes, sales taxes,fee and tax revenues generated by development, and state- shared revenues. In the case of West Hill, both property tax and sales tax revenues would be low compared to other municipalities. In addition, since West Hill exhibits relatively little growth, revenues generated through development stand to be relatively small. On the expense side of the balance sheet, because the West Hill is an urban area, some costs of providing governmental services are higher than those we would expect from many suburban municipalities. August 25, 1999 27 ECONorthwest West Hill Analysis of Governance Options Property values are low. West Hill's 1998 taxable assessed value is estimated to be less than $51,000 per capita. This value is lower than all but a handful of municipalities in • King County. (See Table 10.) The reason assessed values are so important is that property taxes are typically both the largest and the most reliable source of revenue available to most cities. Further, since state law places a wide range of restrictions on city levy rates, the revenues a city can raise through property taxes are heavily influenced by the assessed value of the taxable property within its boundaries. Table 10 on the following page lists assessed values per capita for established cities in King County as reported by the Municipal Research & Services Center with West Hill added to the list in bold print. .11111 ONO W ECONorthwest 28 August 25, 1999 - West Hill Analysis of Governance Options ...

In 1998, we estimate that firms doing business in West Hill generated gross sales of roughly$103 million. Typically, a city receives roughly 0.84 percent of the total value of gross sales through its retail sales and use tax. This .. means that, in 1998, a City of West Hill would have received slightly more than $840,000, or $60 per capita. According to our estimates, therefore, West Hill would have generated lower sales tax revenues than all but a handful of .... cities in King County. (See Table 11) Services are urban in nature; therefore expenses are higher than those incurred by many suburban cities. King County Sheriffs Office estimates that it cost roughly $185 per capita to provide police services in West Hill in 1998. While this is a reasonable cost for an urban area, (the City of Seattle reports police services costs of$247 per capita and the City of Renton reports $214) it is significantly higher than costs incurred by many suburban cities. With a projected population of more than 14,00 in year 2000, this means that the annual expense of providing police services in West Hill would total roughly $ 2.7 million. Public safety costs for West Hill would therefore represent almost 50 percent of the projected core operating expenses of the city., August 25, 1999 31 ECONorthwest a West Hill Analysis of Governance Options KEY ASSUMPTIONS - The findings of this feasibility analysis depend upon a wide range of assumptions. We identify most of these assumptions throughout the body of the report in our descriptions of specific statistical data and projections. There are, however, a few overriding assumptions that apply broadly to this analysis and are therefore key to understanding the implications of our findings. These a, sumptions are: • Our assessment of the feasibility of incorporation is based on asking the following hypothetical question: If West Hill were a fully-operating city in the year 2000, would its revenues be great enough to cover the costs it would incur while providing services to its residents? WO' While this scenario is technically unrealistic (because even a rapid incorporation process would not allow a City of West Hill to enter steady- state operation as early as the year 2000)we believe that by answering this question we can provide the most intuitive and reliable snapshot of the likely financial strength of such an incorporated city. •_ Our projections of revenues and costs for determining fiscal feasibility should be conservative. This means that, when in doubt, we have attempted to err on the low side for revenues and on the high side for costs. • Fiscal feasibility of incorporation has been assessed based on the assumption that an incorporated city of West Hill would offer levels of service similar to those now provided by King County at similar levels of taxation. Throughout our analysis, we frequently refer to this as our "same cost/same level of service" baseline. In many instances, our estimate of what it would cost a city to provide a �.. service is based on an estimate of what the County currently spends for provision of that same service. This is often a very accurate way to estimate costs because many newly incorporated cities in King County actually contract with the County for provision of many of their services. These cities have the option of providing these services directly(as would an incorporated West Hill), but many find that, due to the economies of scale available to the County, it is more cost-effective to contract for their provision. ECONorthwest 32 August 25, 1999 West Hill Analysis of Governance Options OVERVIEW OF PROJECTED REVENUES AND EXPENSES Table 12 on the following pages summarizes our estimate of the revenues and core expenses West Hill would incur if it were a fully functioning city in year 2000. Consistent with our"same cost/same level of service" assumption, projected revenues represent those revenues the city would collect if tax burdens were similar to those currently imposed by King County. Likewise, projected core expenses represent those costs the city would incur were it to provide similar levels of service to those currently provided by King County. As the table illustrates, projected core expenses for an incorporated West Hill for year 2000 total $5.88 million while projected revenues total only$4.75 million. Adding in projected capital expenditures for the same year, the city's total expenses grow to more than $6 million, resulting in a fiscal deficit of $1.31 million.

For example, according to the Municipal Research& Services Center,restricted gas tax distributions "must be deposited in an arterial street fund for the construction,improvement, chip sealing, seal- .,, coating and repair of arterial highways and city streets."10 In addition, real estate excise taxes must generally be spent on capital investments, and Community Development Block Grant pass-through dollars are earmarked for expenses revolving around the administration and delivery of human services. While many of these constraints may ultimately turn out to be non-binding(because,for example, a city will probably have more capital investment needs each year than they have real estate excise tax revenues)readers should bear in mind that not all revenues appearing under the heading"General Fund Revenues"will be available to cover the expenses associated with the day-to- day operation of the city.

Readers who are interested in a more detailed discussion of the preceding table should see Appendix B: Details of Fiscal Analysis of the Feasibility of Incorporation. We limit our discussion here to the handful of crucial revenues and costs upon which questions of the feasibility of incorporation ultimately hinge. In total, these four categories of ... revenues and three categories of costs represent more than 80 percent of the total projected cash flow of the proposed city. Key revenues Property tax For many cities in Washington State, property tax revenues are the single largest and the most stable source of revenue available. In general, a property tax levy rate is set annually by a jurisdiction's legislative body (the City Council, school board, etc.) and is applied uniformly to the value of all taxable property within the boundaries of the jurisdiction. Many taxing jurisdictions, like school or fire districts, have boundaries that cut through the proposed area of incorporation, and as a result, different areas of West %W Hill are, and even if incorporated, would continue to be subject to different levy rates. The levy for the incorporated city, however, would apply to all taxable property within the city boundaries. • State law delineates what types of property are and are not subject to property taxes. Those that are subject to taxation include"real" property WIN (land, structures, and specific equipment affixed to structures) and some forms of personal property (some types of mobile homes, business related machinery, and supplies). While all of these types of property within a city's jurisdiction are assessed, some are exempt from taxation. These exemptions generally apply to properties owned by government, schools, churches, or property with other uses that provide public benefits. By state law, the levy a city can apply is constrained according to the services the city provides. If a city delivers its own fire and library services, it is allowed a maximum regular levy of$3.60 per$1,000 of assessed value. If a city does not provide either of these services,state law generally restricts the maximum regular levy to $1.60 per $1,000 assessed value. The working assumption of this feasibility assessment is that, in an incorporated West Hill, both fire and library services would continue to be provided by existing fire and library districts, so the $1.60 maximum city regular levy rate would apply." mow "If West Hill were to incorporate, during the first full year as an incorporated city, property owners would begin to pay the city property tax levy and, at the same time, they would cease to pay the county road levy. We estimate that the county road levy August 25, 1999 37 ECONorthwest a West Hill Analysis of Governance Options Of course, simply levying a tax does not guarantee full and immediate payment by all property owners. For any city, there will always be some taxes that are due but go unpaid. Fortunately for a city's finances, however, when it comes to property taxes, almost all taxes that are levied are eventually paid in full. For an established city, defaults in any given year are mostly balanced out by receipts of back taxes. Therefore, since our assessment of feasibility is based on estimating the financial circumstances of a fully functioning City of West Hill in the year 2000, we assume that receipts of back,taxes would largely"net out" current-year delinquencies, .. resulting in an effective delinquency rate of only one percent. Combining our assumed delinquency rate, the levy rate of$1.60 per $1,000 of assessed value, and an estimated total assessed value of West Hill of roughly $737 million, we project that, in the year 2000, an incorporated West Hill would receive roughly $1.167 million in property tax revenues. Retail sales and use tax Retail sales tax is added on a percentage basis to the sale price of tangible personal property (with the exception of groceries and prescription medicine) and to many services purchased by consumers. Beyond its application to tangible personal property, sales tax is also applied to things like telephone service; the installation, repair, or cleaning of tangible personal property; and to the construction or improvement of new or existing buildings, including labor and services provided throughout the process. (See RCW 82.04.050) According to state law, a city's maximum sales tax rate is set at one percent, which is the same rate that King County currently collects in unincorporated areas of the county. Of this one percent, Washington State's Department of Revenue (DOR)receives one percent for its role as collector/distributor. (That is, the DOR receives one percent of one percent.) Beyond that small portion retained by the DOR, King County is eligible to receive 15 percent of the city's one percent. West Hill would thus receive roughly 84 percent of its one- percent sales tax. A city's one-percent sales tax is actually split into two halves: a base half and an optional second half which a city could choose not to levy if it so desired. VINIP rate will be$1.74 per$1,000 of assessed value in year 2000. Since the city levy rate is restricted by law to$1.60, this means that taxpayer would pay 14 cents less per $1,000 of property value if the area were to incorporate. In order to maintain our "same cost/same level of service"baseline assumption for our analysis, therefore, we assumed that the city would"make up"that difference by instituting some form of new utility tax that would raise revenues exactly equal to what would have been raised by a 14 cent per$1,000 assessed value property tax. ECONorthwest 38 August 25, 1999 .West Hill Analysis of Governance Options %WI In fact, however, the great majority of cities in the state choose to levy both halves, as does King County. Therefore, our"same cost/same level of service" analysis dictates that we assume an incorporated West Hill would also levy the full one percent. Past incorporation studies have shown that it is difficult to accurately estimate the sales tax revenues available to incorporating areas. These studies used sales data from the Department of Revenue about the businesses located within the boundaries of the proposed area of ..• incorporation. These data were then used as the basis for an estimate of what the incorporated city might expect to receive in sales tax revenues. While this method is relatively straightforward, staff at the Municipal Research & Services Center inform us that, for virtually every recent incorporation, actual sales tax revenues received by newly-incorporated cities substantially outstripped the initial forecasts. Past studies have underestimated sales tax revenue because a large portion of the sales tax received by most cities are actually paid to that city by businesses located outside the city's boundaries. When a lumber company in Seattle, for example, delivers construction materials to a home in Renton, sales taxes collected by the lumber company on those materials are paid to Renton. In a region where sales of goods and services frequently cross municipal boundaries, the sales taxes paid to a city by businesses located within that city will represent only a portion of the city's total sales tax revenues. Past studies have not accounted very well for the sales made from business outside the jurisdiction but delivered to customers within the incorporation area. MIN To address the shortcomings of the approach used in past analyses, we chose a new approach to estimating revenues for this report. While this new methodology is somewhat more complex than the old technique, we believe the results of the analysis will provide better estimates of actual sales tax revenue. We analyzed sales tax receipts for 23 King County cities during the year 1998. Although per capita revenues varied widely from one city to the next, almost all of that variation can be explained by two factors: 1) the number of employees in the city who were classified as"retail" employees, and 2) the amount of sales taxes paid to the city by firms located within that city's boundaries. When expressed in per capita terms, these factors explain fully 96 percent of the variation in sales tax revenues for the 23 cities in question. (For details on the technique used and on the estimation output, see Appendix B of this report.) Using the statistical analysis outlined above with data on retail employment and sales taxes paid by West Hill businesses,we forecast that an incorporated West Hill would receive roughly $863,000 in retail sales and use tax revenues. This $863,000 total figure translates to $60 per capita. By comparison, experts at the Municipal Research and Services Center report August 25, 1999 39 ECONorthwest West Hill Analysis of Governance Options that the average municipality in Washington State in 1998 received receive slightly less than $175 per capita in sales tax revenues. Sales tax equalization ... In 1982, in order to address issues of equity in the distribution of sales tax revenues between cities, the Washington State Legislature created the municipal sales and use tax equalization account. This account is funded through a share of the state's Motor Vehicle Excise Tax, and is distributed on a per capita basis to cities that receive regular sales and use tax revenues that are significantly lower than the average of Washington cities. If a city's annual per capita retail sales tax revenues are less than 70 percent of the average of all Washington cities, then the city is eligible to receive equalization. The goal of equalization is to provide sales tax poor cities with enough revenues to bring them up to 70 percent of the statewide average. This is how the target for equalization funding is set. (If a city levies both halves of the one-percent sales tax, and if it received only$50 per capita in revenues while the 70-percent target was $70, then the goal would be to provide equalization funds to the city of$20 per capita.) However, while this is the funding goal, as things currently stand, there is not enough money in the equalization fund to bring all sales-tax-poor cities all the way up to the 70-percent target. Consequently, once the 70-percent goal is set, and once the target funding has been determined for each sales- tax-poor city, equalization funding is provided on a proportional basis. Experts at the Municipal Research& Services Center project that, in the year 2000, the funding level of the equalization goal for the first half-cent will be 100 percent, but the second half-cent funding goal will only be 75 percent funded. Consultants at the Municipal Research & Services Center estimate that the 70-percent equalization goal for the year 2000 will be approximately $61.80 per capita for each half-cent of the sales tax levy. Combining this goal with projected funding levels and West Hill's projected per capita sales tax receipts, we estimate that as an incorporated city, West Hill would receive roughly $800,000 in equalization revenues in the year 2000. • State-shared revenues �.. All cities and towns in Washington State are eligible to receive certain "shared"revenues on the basis of their population. These state-collected revenues derive from three main sources:liquor receipts (both profits from liquor sales and liquor taxes); gasoline taxes; and the Motor Vehicle Excise Tax. As a group, Washington cities and towns receive a fixed percentage of these source revenues, and that fixed percentage is then allocated to the ECONorthwest 40 August 25, 1999 .West Hill Analysis of Governance Options individual cities on a per capita basis. (For shared profits from liquor sales, as an example, Washington cities and towns as a group receive'40 percent of the total profits. This lump of money is then distributed to the individual ... municipalities according to their respective populations.) Among these shared revenues sources are: • Liquor Excise Tax • Liquor Profits • Unrestricted Gas Tax • Restricted Gas Tax • Motor Vehicle Excise Tax • Camper/Trailer Excise Tax • Criminal Justice Revenues—General And by application • "Contract Police" Grant • "Innovative Law Enforcement" Grant • "Domestic Violence Prevention" Grant • "Child Abuse Prevention" Grant The first seven of the above shared revenues will flow automatically to a new city upon incorporation. The latter four are received by cities only through application. However, based on conversations with the Washington State Department of Community, Trade, and Economic Development (CTED), we anticipate that, were West Hill to incorporate, and were the new city to apply for these four distributions, their application would likely be approved. °�- Based on Municipal Research & Services Center projections, we anticipate that the first seven shared revenue distributions would total$45.83 per capita in the year 2000. In addition, based on conversations with staff at CTED, the grants by application should total roughly $4.11 per capita. Combining the two, we project state-shared revenues for an incorporated West Hill totaling roughly $718,000. August 25, 1999 41 ECONorthwest West Hill Analysis of Governance Options • Table 13: Projected Year 2000 State-Shared Revenue Distributions per capita Motor Vehicle Excise Tax $13.28 Liquor Tax $2.98 Liquor Profits $6.12 Unrestricted Gas Tax $15.51 Restricted Gas Tax $7.25 Camper/Trailer Excise Tax $0.30 Criminal Justice Revenues-General $0.39 Sum $45.83 ,., Contract Police Grant $2.73 "Domestic Violence"Grant $0.50 "Child Abuse Prevention"Grant $0.50 Innovative Law Enforcement Grant $0.38 Sum $4.11 Source:Municipal Research&Services Center Budget Suggestions for 1999,"and Washington State Department of Community,Trade,and Economic Development Key expenses • Public safety The single costliest line item listed in our forecast of expenses is the provision �.. of public safety. At more than$2.9 million, the cost of providing these services represent almost 50 percent of the total core costs of operation for the city. Of this $2.9 million, we project that $2.66 million would go towards .". providing police services, $233,000 would go to adult detention, and about $41,000 would go to providing public defense. Each of the costs projected above is based on estimates provided by King County. The largest expense, that of providing police services, is based on a King County Sheriffs Office estimate that, in 1998, it spent roughly$185 per capita for provision of such services in West Hill. The City of Seattle, by comparison, reported 1998 citywide police services costs of$247 per capita and the City of Renton reported$214. Therefore, the $185 reported by the County clearly represents a reasonable estimate of what an incorporated West Hill would spend. ECONorthwest 42 August 25, 1999 • West Hill Analysis of Governance Options General Administration • .,, With salaries to be paid and benefits to be provided, along with all of the costs of facilities, supplies, and equipment, the administration of a city entails the meeting of myriad needs, none of which come free. In our attempt to provide a conservative estimate of feasibility, we have consciously sought to be high in our forecasts of costs and low on revenues. For example,we derived estimates of salaries for specific positions by taking the 85th percentile of the actual salary range as reported by the Association of Washington Cities' Salary Survey for cities with populations between 5,000 and 15,000 and then rounding the number up to the nearest $5,000. In some cases the City may be able to fill a specific position at a salary lower than our estimate, and in some cases the City may have to pay more. In aggregate, however, we feel that the figures outlined below are appropriately conservative. It is instructive to note that past incorporation feasibility assessments have consistently underestimated the costs of administering a city. We have born this in mind while constructing our forecasts of staffing, salaries, benefits, and supplies. We should note, however, that our projected staffing levels still represent something of a bare-bones city hall. We base these staffing levels on an assumption that, at least during early years of incorporation, a City of West Hill would contract for provision of many of its public services. Therefore, staffing of city hall would not have to be as robust, or costly, as that of many established cities. City Council We assumed that West Hill would incorporate as a Council/City Manager government. Under such a governing structure, the city would have a seven- member Council elected by voters living within the boundaries of the city. We assumed, also, that the members of the Council and the Mayor would serve part-time. The Mayor would be elected by the Council as directed under 35A.13.030 RCW. Upon election, the Mayor would preside over Meetings of the Council, and serve as the ceremonial leader of the city. Upon incorporation, West Hill would be required by statute to compensate Vat the members of the Council at a rate of$400 per month and the Mayor at a rate of$500 per month. For our analysis, we assume these rates of remuneration War City Manager's Office and General Administration 11111/ In the Council/City Manager form of government it is assumed that the City Council has only one employee: the City Manager. The City Manager, then, August 25, 1999 43 ECONorthwest West Hill Analysis of Governance Options • is ultimately responsible for hiring, supervising, and the dismissal of all further staff. We have projected staffing for the administration of the City of 25 full time employees. This staffing level, as outlined in the following table, includes staffing for the City Manager's Office, for the City Clerk's Office, Finance, Engineering, Planning, Information Systems,and for oversight of Parks and Recreation. ECONorthwest 44 August 25, 1999 West Hill Analysis of Governance Options Table 14: Projected Expenditures for General Administration of West Hill Staffing Levels and Salaries FTEs Salary Total City Manager 1 $80,000 $80,000 Director of Admin. & Fin. 1 $65,000 $65,000 Accountant-Senior 1 $50,000 $50,000 Accounting Clerk 1 $30,000 $30,000 City Engineer 1 $60,000 $60,000 Engineer Tech. 1 $40,000 $40,000 Public Works Director 1 $65,000 $65,000 Community Development Dir. 1 $60,000 $60,000 Computer Support Specialist 1 $40,000 $40,000 City Clerk 1 $50,000 $50,000 Legal Secretary 1 $35,000 $35,000 Administrative Secretary 1 $35,000 $35,000 Receptionist 1 $25,000 $25,000 Senior Planner 1 $50,000 $50,000 Parks and Recreation Director 1 $50,000 $50,000 Recreation Coordinator 1 $35,000 $35,000 Miscellaneous FTE's 1 $40,000 $40,000 Council Members 6 $4,800 $28,800 Mayor 1 $6,000 $6,000 Total 17 $844,800 Benefits $253,440 Benefits as%of Salaries 30% Facility Costs $63,750 Cost per square foot $ 15 Square feet per FTE 250 Operating Supplies $84,480 Supplies as%of Salaries 10% Phone Expenses $17,000 Cost of phones per FTE $ 1,000 Computers $22,593 Computer cost per FTE per year $ 1,329 Furniture $12,444 Furniture cost per FTE per year $ 732 Vehicle Lease $21,464 Number of vehicles 4 Cost per vehicle per year $ 5,366 Vehicle Operation&Maintenace $16,000 Number of vehicles 4 Vehicle O&M cost per year $ 4,000 Total Costs of General Administration $1,335,971 .w. August 25, 1999 45 ECONorthwest West Hill Analysis of Governance Options As illustrated in the chart above, we included 1 full-time equivalent (FTE) positions designated only as "Miscellaneous FTEs," compensated at a rate of $40,000. Our intention here is only to estimate a reasonable headcount. Based on our assumption that West Hill would be contracting for many of its services, and based on comparisons with other cities, we believe that a staff of 17 FTEs (excluding council members and the Mayor) fulfills that criterion. Salaries and Benefits We derived the above salary assumptions, first by calculating the 85th percentile of the salary range reported in the 1998 Association of Washington Cities' Salary Survey for each position, and then, by rounding that figure up to the nearest $5,000. We estimate the cost of benefits for City employees to be equal to 30% of salaries. To check this estimate we looked at the experiences of other cities with similar staffs and found that, in general, the costs of benefits were a little lower than our estimate. Our 30% rate, however, is a widely accepted figure and, again, we feel it to be an appropriately conservative assumption. t91" Supplies and Equipment For costs associated with phones, office furniture, and computers, we derived projected expenses on an annual per-employee basis. For phone expenses we estimated annual costs of$1,000 per FTE. For furniture, we assumed an annualized cost of$732 per year. This figure was arrived at, first, by "` estimating furniture costs of$3,000 per employee, and second, by assuming that the useful life of this furniture would be five years. Given these figures, we annualized the costs by amortizing the $3,000 over 5 years at a 7% interest rate. For computers, we estimated annual costs per full time employee of$1,329. This figure assumes computer costs of$4,500 per employee and an average useful life of computers of four years. ($4,500 amortized over 4 years at a 7% interest rate.) -- Vehicles For many of the positions identified in our administration staffing, an integral part of their job would require at least the part-time use of a vehicle. We project that the city will want to lease four vehicles, at an annual cost of $5,366 per vehicle. (This figure represents the value of$22,000 amortized over five years at an interest rate of seven percent.) For operation and maintenance of the vehicles, we estimate annual expenses of$5,000 each. The total costs of having a vehicle at the City's disposal is then slightly more �.. than $10,000. • ECONorthwest 46 August 25, 1999 West Hill Analysis of Governance Options•Facilities Projections of the costs of City Administration facilities have been directly .. tied to our estimates of staffing levels. We assume that the City would need 250 square feet of office space for each full time employee it hired. We also assume an annual rental rate of$15 per square foot. Given our staffing �.. projections, we therefore estimate facilities costs of$63,750 in the year 2000. Roads Maintenance, Operation, and Capital Investment If West Hill were to choose to incorporate, the responsibility for maintenance, operation, and capital investment in public rights of way would become the responsibility of the new city. Our forecast of the expenses the city would incur while shouldering this responsibility is based on data provided by King County Road Services Division. Road Services Division estimates that total operation and maintenance costs for roadways in West Hill would cost roughly $514,000 in 1999, and for year 2000 operations we project no change in this cost(in inflation-adjusted dollars). Included in this estimate are four discrete categories of expenditures: 1) Road maintenance - $289,000 2)Traffic operations - $73,000, 3) Roads overlay- $125,000, and 4) Street lighting- $27,000. In addition to the day-to-day costs of operation and maintenance of the system, cities must also allocate dollars for long-term investments in roads infrastructure. Under King County's current system, these capital investments are also separated into categories. 1)Roads capital investments planned for under the County's six-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), and 2) Expenditures on smaller projects funded from a pool of money set aside each year to fund projects on a countywide basis. These investments, referred to as"countywide"projects, might include things like improvements in paths or drainage, or installation of traffic signals. In addition, because these funds can be invested anywhere in the county depending on the where the high priority projects happen to be, the amount of"countywide" funds invested in a particular area of the county may vary from year to year. -� The County's current CIP anticipates spending roughly $512,000 on roads capital improvements in West Hill from 1999 through 2004. On an annual basis, this translates to an investment of roughly$85,000 per year. While the County performs no parallel projections for future countywide project investments, Road Services Division has provided us with a detailed list of such investments that were made in West Hill from 1994 through 1998. In .�. fact, total countywide project expenditures over these years averaged roughly $102,000 per year. We adopt this average annual expenditure as our estimate of what an incorporated West Hill would spend on these kinds of .�. projects to maintain a level of service consistent with that provided by the County. August 25, 1999 47 ECONorthwest West Hill Analysis of Governance Options 6. ANALYSIS OF ANNEXATION Most respondents to our public survey indicated that they would prefer to stay with the status quo and remain a part of unincorporated King County. In the absence of this alternative, however, the vast majority preferred �. annexation to an adjoining city rather than incorporating as a new city. (See the discussion box below for a general outline of the annexation process.) The Annexation Process There are three possible ways for unincorporated areas like West Hill to ..� become engaged in the annexation process. 1) Residents can request consideration by the Council of the annexing city and a subsequent public vote through a ten percent petition. 2) Residents can request annexation without a public referendum by gathering signatures of landowners in the proposed area of incorporation, as long as the combined value of the property owned by the signatories'equals at least 60 percent of the total assessed value of the area. 3) The Council of the potential annexing city can pass a resolution requesting a vote among residents of the proposed area of annexation. For the first and third approaches, once the process has been initiated, the remaining steps are the same. For both, the next step is to submit the resolution/petition to the county's Boundary Review Board. The review board will then hold a hearing where residents and a representative of the annexing city will have the opportunity to be heard. Following this hearing, the Board will approve, disapprove, or suggest a revision to the boundaries of the proposed annexation. If approved, a vote among area residents determines the ultimate success or failure of the proposed annexation. In contrast to two approaches outlined above, the second approach to annexation does not ultimately require a public referendum. Under this alternative, after initiators gather the required signatures, the I'" question of annexation is taken up, first by the City Council, and then in a public hearing by the county's Boundary Review Board. If both bodies find in favor of the city annexing the area, annexation will move forward. Respondents to our survey indicated that they valued a range of both tangible and intangible services that are inextricably linked to their local governance. Among the tangible services, they indicated that among the most important were police, fire protection, and maintenance of roads and IOW • August 25, 1999 49 ECONorthwest West Hill Analysis of Governance Options • sidewalks. Of-the intangible issues, respondents indicated that questions surrounding community image were important, and at the same time,these issues have not yet been addressed to their satisfaction. In addition, as one might expect, respondents indicated that they care a great deal about the level of local taxes. Ultimately, the value a person places on a particular service, and the degree to which local government delivers that service at a satisfactory level, are subjective questions. As such, it is impossible for any analysis to state unequivocally that one provider of services is superior to another. Rather, the best we can do is to present readers with the most complete information possible, comparing different measures of how services are delivered, and at what cost, ultimately allowing each reader to reach his or her own conclusions about which jurisdiction they want to provide their local governance. To provide readers with this kind of information,in the following section we compare the year 2000 annexation alternatives for the West Hill area in 71 different ways, including levels of service, expenditures per capita, and taxes and charges. The results are mixed, with one city appearing to do better than another and the unincorporated service provider on a number of variables, while other variables show the other city, the County, or a special district doing the better job. On several of the variables there was no difference, or the results were mixed among different measures of the same variable. As a result of our research and analysis, we conclude that the best annexation alternative is determined by each reader's priorities among the 71 variables reported in this study. WHAT THIS ANALYSIS IS ABOUT This is a study of annexation alternatives for the West Hill area. It provides information about the differences and similarities of two annexation alternatives: Renton and Seattle. The City of Tukwila did not participate in the study. It describes the levels of service, government expenditures, taxes, and fees that a resident of the West Hill area would expect if they annexed to either city. METHODOLOGY This study is designed to make comparisons between annexation to Renton or Seattle and existing services provided by unincorporated King County and special districts. The key to the study was the selection of the variables used to compare the governance alternatives. The variables were selected by the consultant, after conferring with staff of each local government (county, cities, and special districts). The variables we selected for this study meet our criteria: ECONorthwest 50 August 25, 1999 West Hill Analysis of Governance Options • • Readily understandable by citizens • Data is readily available from the providers of services and facilities • Each variable accurately portrays the service or facility This study of governance alternatives for the West Hill area considered 71 variables: 31 level of service variables,7 financial variables, 13 operating cost per capita variables, and 20 capital cost per capita variables. Indicators of local services have several limitations. For example, the Vet indicators tend to emphasize quantity as opposed to quality. Some measures are better at capturing quality than others. For example, criminal investigations per 1,000 population measures the quantity of work, but used comparatively it suggests some qualitative difference between law enforcement agencies, or at least between the communities they serve. By comparison, park acres per 1,000 population says nothing about the design, use, maintenance, enjoyment, or programming that make such sites more (or less) desirable places for recreation or leisure time. Another limitation of service indicators is that they tend to be ratios of services or facilities to population, but not to employment. This is primarily because (1) relatively few indicators have been developed based on employment, and(2) data measuring existing and future employment is more difficult to obtain than population data. The absence of employment-driven indicators has substantially greater impact on areas with high ratios of employment to population (i.e., Seattle) than on areas with very low ratios (i.e., the West Hill area). At a minimum, the data showing expenditures per capita will appear higher than they really are for services that have significant use and/or benefit to employees and employers (i.e., police and fire)because the cost is being reported as though it was allocated only among the population whereas it should be allocated among the population and employees. Further complicating the issue is the volume of visitors, customers, clients, patients, and others who use and/or benefit from public services and facilities, but for whom there is no reliable estimate of the numbers of such individuals, nor the proportion of service benefits that are attributable to them. An important consideration is that we focused on variables for services and facilities that have the potential to change as a result of changes in governance. We did not develop variables for services and facilities that 41111, probably would not change under different forms of governance (i.e., schools, state roads, mass transit, etc.). .,. The data we use in this study was provided by King County, the cities of Renton and Seattle, Fire District 20, the King County Library System (district), Waste Management Rainier, the Skyway-Bryn Mawr Water and ,.. Sewer District and Water District 125. • August 25, 1999 51 ECONorthwest West Hill Analysis of Governance Options KEY ASSUMPTIONS Understanding the assumptions of a study is important to understanding the findings and conclusions of the study. The assumptions described below are an important part of this study. Annexation Levels of Service, Expenditures, and Taxes We assume that Renton and Seattle will provide the same services and charge the same taxes to the West Hill area as they provide/charge to residents and businesses in the existing city limits of each city. We recognize that it may not be possible for a City to provide the same level of service to an annexed area. This may be due to peculiarities of the annexation area (i.e., exceptional distance from existing city services or the absence of previous infrastructure investment in the area) or changes in the city's level of service situation in that growth within the existing city limits has outstripped the city's ability to sustain its "existing" level of service for its own residents. An analysis of these, and other relevant explanations is beyond the scope of this study. Services or Facilities That Do Not Change as a Result of Annexation We have analyzed only those services and facilities that could change as a result of a change in governance. These include: law enforcement, fire protection and emergency medical services, roads, stormwater, water, sewer, parks, human services, and land use regulation. We have excluded the following services and facilities that would not change as a result of annexation: • Schools • State Roads • Transit We also assume that the cities of Renton and Seattle will not change the services and facilities that they currently provide. Annexation Plans of Cities We assume that it is possible for the West Hill area to annex to Renton or Seattle. Both cities have adopted policies concerning annexation in their comprehensive plans' ECONorthwest 52 August 25, 1999 West Hill Analysis of Governance Options LEVELS OF SERVICE AND EXPENDITURES PER CAPITA Levels of Service The tables in this section list key indicators for each of the following governmental services. ••• 1. Animal Control 9. Police 2. Corrections 10. Roads/Streets 3. Courts 11. Sewer 4. Fire and Emergency Medical Services 12. Solid Waste 5. Human Services 13. Stormwater 6. Library 14. Water 7. Parks and Recreation 8. Planning and Land Use Regulation In each table below, the indicator is listed in the first column, and the data appears in columns to the right, below the names of the area, city or district for which the data is reported. Each indicator is reported for the City of Renton, the City of Seattle, and King County (or any district serving the unincorporated West Hill area). •— If a column heading shows the name of an area or City and also includes "(King County)", it means that King County is the provider of the service. King County has reported data that is specific for each city or area served for the following services: human services, parks and recreation, police, roads and streets, and stormwater. The County has reported only county-wide averages, rather than specific calculations for each city or area, for the •• following services: animal control, corrections, courts, library, and planning and land use regulation. The County does not maintain information by community or area for these services. The indicators measure levels of service, annual operating costs per capita, the annual average capital expenditures for the past 5 years, and the annual average of capital improvements planned for the next 6 years. For two services, planning and land use regulation, and police, no information is provided about capital improvements because those services do not involve significant capital investments. For two other services, corrections, and courts, there was not sufficient information about capital costs to report those indicators. In the tables below, higher costs may translate into "better" service (i.e., greater quantity, quality, speed, customer service, etc.), or they may indicate a public service that is less efficient. Smaller governments often have higher August 25, 1999 53 ECONorthwest West Hill Analysis of Governance Options costs per capita because they have the same "fixed costs" (i.e., core staff and facilities) regardless of the size of the agency. These costs, when divided by small populations, produce higher costs per capita. Comparison of infrastructure investments is much more difficult to interpret than comparisons of operating costs per capita. Capital expenditures vary dramatically from year to year in individual local governments. A better measure would be the current(replacement) value per capita of each infrastructure system. Such a calculation would require a complete w inventory of each infrastructure system, and a method for determining its current (replacement) value. This data is not generally available from local governments. Using readily available data, we calculated the annual capital costs per capita using multi-year time horizons in order to minimize the effect of fluctuations in local infrastructure needs and expenditures. For planned capital improvements, we divided the 6-year total cost of the capital improvement program by 6 years to calculate an annual average. The annual average was then divided by the population to determine the cost per capita per year. We performed a similar analysis of 5-year historical data. 1. Animal Control Service Providers Before and After Annexation Animal control services are currently provided to the West Hill area by King County. In the event of annexation, animal control would be provided by the annexing city(Renton or Seattle) because each city provides its own animal control service.

The County's data is the countywide average for the unincorporated area and its contract cities, and is not specific to the West Hill area. B. Operating Cost per Capita: Total operating (non-capital) costs for animal control programs were divided by the total population in order to calculate per capita cost. This procedure was used for each entity that reported data (King County, Renton and Seattle). Cost per capita should be viewed in the context of call load (see indicator A):high call load and low cost per capita may indicate superior efficiency, or it can indicate overburdened staff with little time for each call for service. Conversely, lower call loads and higher "' cost per capita may indicate more time per call for service,which can indicate less efficiency, but may indicate higher quality. The County's data is the countywide average for the unincorporated area and its contract cities, and is not specific to the West Hill area. C. and D. Planned and Historical Capital Expenditure per Capita: For •�• planned capital improvements, we divided the 6-year total cost of the capital improvement program by 6 years to calculate an annual average. The annual average was then divided by the population to determine the cost per capita per year. We performed a similar analysis of 5-year historical data. This procedure was used for each entity that reported data (King County, Renton and Seattle). The County's data is the countywide average for the August 25, 1999 55 ECONorthwest West Hill Analysis of Governance Options • ••p unincorporated area and its contract cities, and is not specific to the West Hill area. Summary of Animal Control The King County receives far fewer animal control complaints per capita than Seattle or Renton, but caution must be used with the County number since it represents the average of the entire unincorporated area, and is not specific to the West Hill area. The lowest operating cost per capita is in Renton, which also has the highest rate of complaints. 2. Corrections Service Providers Before and After Annexation Correctional facilities and services are currently provided to the West Hill area by King County. In the event of annexation, corrections would be provided by the City of Renton, which has its own correctional facility, or by King County, which contracts to serve the City of Seattle.

Renton is one of the few cities in King County that operates its own correctional facility; most cities contract with King County for jail services. The County's data is the •- countywide average for the unincorporated area and all its contract cities, and is not specific to the West Hill area. ECONorthwest 56 August 25, 1999 • West Hill Analysis of Governance Options M• B. Operating Cost per Incarcerated Person per Day: Total operating (non- capital) costs for corrections facilities were divided by the total number of incarcerated person-days (one person in jail one day) in order to calculate this indicator. This procedure was requested of each entity that reported data (King County and Renton). It appears, however, that the County's data include per diem costs and booking fees, which may reflect annual average .�. costs rather than per diem costs. The County's data is the countywide average for the unincorporated area and all its contract cities, and is not specific to the West Hill area. C. Operating Cost per Capita: Total operating (non-capital) costs for corrections facilities were divided by the total population in order to calculate per capita cost. This procedure was used for each entity that reported data (King County and Renton). The County's data is the countywide average for the unincorporated area and all its contract cities, and is not specific to the West Hill area. Renton's higher cost per capita is likely due to the fact that they have "fixed costs" (i.e., core staff and facilities) similar to King County, but these costs, when divided by Renton's much smaller population, produces higher costs per capita. Summary of Corrections The data for"beds per 1,000 population" and"operating costs per incarcerated person" for West Hill and Seattle are countywide averages of the entire area served by King County, including all unincorporated areas, and many cities that contract with the County for correctional service. Renton's higher cost per incarcerated person may be due to fewer economies of scale because its facility is significantly smaller than King County's. In terms of operating cost per capita, Seattle and Renton report similar numbers. 3. Courts Service Providers Before and After Annexation ..� Local court services are currently provided to the West Hill area by King County. In the event of annexation, local courts would be provided by the annexing city (Renton or Seattle)because each city provides its own courts.

Higher caseloads are more "efficient" but they reduce the amount of time the judge can spend on each case. Renton occasionally uses a magistrate, but the data was reported as the average for their judge, and data for the magistrate was not separately reported. The County's data is the countywide average for the unincorporated area and all its contract cities, and is not specific to the West Hill area. B. Average Calendar Days Between Initial Filing and Date of Trial: Calendar days indicate how crowded court dockets are, and the ability to get access to the judicial system in a timely manner. The County's data is the countywide "' average for the unincorporated area and all its contract cities, and is not specific to the West Hill area. Seattle's data is reported for all types of trials, and is expressed as the percentage of cases that are tried within the time '•' range indicated(i.e., 29% of the trials begin in less than 30 days after they are filed, 46% begin between 31 and 180 days after filing, and 25% begin 181 or more days after filing. C. Operating Cost per Capita: Total operating(non-capital) costs for courts were divided by the total population in order to calculate per capita cost. •- This procedure was used for each entity that reported data (King County, Renton and Seattle). The County's data is the countywide average for the unincorporated area and all its contract cities, and is not specific to the West «r ECONorthwest 58 August 25, 1999 West Hill Analysis of Governance Options �.. Hill area. Seattle's higher cost per capita is due to the fact that they have included the cost of probation in their court costs. Summary of Courts There are very wide differences in the courts data for King County, Renton and Seattle. Renton has a very heavy case load per judge, yet does not have the lowest operating cost per capita. Despite Renton's caseload, it does significantly bbtter than King County in calendering cases. Seattle, which has the lightest case load per judge also has the highest cost per capita. 4. Fire and Emergency Medical Services Service Providers Before and After Annexation Fire and basic life support emergency medical services are currently provided to the West Hill area by Fire District 20. In the event of annexation, there are two ways these services could be provided: (1) the annexing city (Renton or Seattle) could use its own fire department, adding district personnel, stations and fire trucks as provided by law, or(2) the annexing city could contract with Fire District 20 to continue to provide service in the West Hill area. Advanced life support emergency medical services are currently provided to the West Hill area by King County Medic One, which will continue to provide ••• this service in the event of annexation. a a a August 25, 1999 59 ECONorthwest West Hill Analysis of Governance Options • Indicators of Level of Service and Costs Oripa n O R D+$ e • A.

Data for each jurisdiction represents average elapsed time between dispatch of a unit and arrival of fire suppression personnel at the scene of the incident. B. Insurance Fire Rating. The Insurance Fire Rating is defined and determined by the Washington Survey and Rating Bureau of the Insurance Services Office (ISO) using national standards developed in 1974. The numerical rating represents the effectiveness of fire suppression services within a specific geographic area (e.g., municipality or fire district). Ratings are on a scale of 1 - 10,with 1 the best, and 10 the worst. A lower number generally corresponds to lower insurance premiums for the fire insurance •� portion of property damage insurance. A significant portion of the rating is attributable to the water supply system (which is outside the control of the fire service agency). e ECONorthwest 60 August 25, 1999 West Hill Analysis of Governance Options C and D. Average Response Time - Emergency Medical Service (EMS) Calls: Generally, an initial response time of 5-6 minutes (or lower) for EMS calls (Basic/Advanced Life Support) is optimum for life threatening incidents. Data �- for each jurisdiction represents average elapsed time between dispatch of a unit and arrival of emergency medical personnel at the scene of an incident. E. Operating Cost per Capita: Total operating (non-capital)costs for Fire District 20 were divided by the District's population in order to calculate its per capita cost. The same procedure was used for each city (Renton and Seattle) to divide its operating(non-capital) costs by its population to calculate its per capita cost. Fire districts often have lower costs per capita because they have less money to spend. Their main source of revenue is a .• property tax levy that is limited to $1.50 per $1,000 of taxable value. By comparison, cities have many sources of revenue they can use to pay for their fire departments. One way that fire districts serve their constituents with less money is to use volunteers or cross-staffing (the practice of assigning a single crew to more than one apparatus,with the crew taking the apparatus that is most appropriate to the type of call). F. and G. Planned and Historical Capital Expenditure per Capita: For planned capital improvements, we divided the 6-year total cost of the capital improvement program by 6 years to calculate an annual average. The annual average was then divided by the population to determine the cost per capita per year. We performed a similar analysis of 5-year historical data. This procedure was used for each entity that reported data (Fire District 20, Renton and Seattle). H. Fire District Levy Rate per$1,000 Taxable Assessed Value: Both Renton and Seattle operate their own fire departments and therefore have neither fire districts nor fire district levies. Rather, the cities of Seattle and Renton incorporate the costs of their fire departments in their city budgets. Simultaneously, because they provide their own fire protection services, these cities are allowed to increase their city levy rate. (Cities that provide their own fire protection services are generally allowed to increase their base city levy rate by $1.50 per $1,0000 of assessed value). Summary of Fire and Emergency Services The existing fire district in West Hill, Fire District#20, has significantly lower operating costs per capita than Renton or Seattle, and it provides response times that are significantly slower. Fire District#20 also received a lower Insurance Fire Rating. Renton's fire department provides by far the fastest response times, and Seattle received a slightly better Insurance Rating. Seattle provides this level of service at a lower per capita operating cost than Renton. August 25, 1999 61 ECONorthwest West Hill Analysis of Governance Options • 5.

This data is often difficult to track because of the way information is kept. Viewed in isolation, higher numbers mean more support per recipient, but the community's level of effort is also measured by the next indicator, "Operating Cost per Capita." B. Operating Cost per Capita: Total operating (non-capital) costs for human service programs were divided by the total population in order to calculate per capita cost. This procedure was used for each entity that reported data (Renton and Seattle). This indicator is difficult to use, given the data provided by each entity. Seattle included all sources of funding: local, state •� and federal. Renton included local funding. King County did not report any data. ECONorthwest 62 August 25, 1999 West Hill Analysis of Governance Options C. and D. Planned and Historical Capital Expenditure per Capita: For planned capital improvements, we divided the 6-year total cost of the capital improvement program by 6 years to calculate an annual average. The annual average was then divided by the population to determine the cost per capita per year. We performed a similar analysis of 5-year historical data. This procedure was used for each entity that reported data (Renton and Seattle). King County did not report any capital expenditures for human services. Summary of Human Services Data about human services is sketchy, and it appears that different definitions were used by each local government. As a result, it is not possible to draw any meaningful conclusions from this data. This is an area that needs more work and should be targeted for further attention. 6. Library Service Providers Before and After Annexation Public libraries and library services are currently provided to the West Hill area by a large district, the King County Library System, that serves all of unincorporated King County, and most of the cities in the County. The cities of Renton and Seattle have their own libraries, and are not part of the district. In the event of annexation, libraries would be provided by the annexing city (Renton or Seattle)because each city provides its own library. • August 25, 1999 63 ECONorthwest West Hill Analysis of Governance Options Indicators of Level of Service and Costs oft. 1 q a Z' a J :*• A.

Higher numbers are better, providing more library facilities per person. C. Operating Cost per Capita: Total operating (non-capital) costs for all the jurisdiction's libraries were divided by the total population in order to calculate per capita cost. This procedure was used for each entity that reported data (King County Library System, Renton and Seattle). King County Library System's data is the countywide average for the unincorporated area and all its contract cities, and is not specific to the West Hill area. D. and E. Planned and Historical Capital Expenditure per Capita: For planned capital improvements, we divided the 6-year total cost of the capital improvement program by 6 years to calculate an annual average. The annual average was then divided by the population to determine the cost per capita per year. We performed a similar analysis of 5-year historical data. This procedure was used for each entity that reported data (King County Library System, Renton and Seattle). In 1998, Seattle voters approved a large bond issue to build a new main library, and to make significant improvements at ECONorthwest 64 August 25, 1999 West Hill Analysis of Governance Options branch libraries. This "once in a generation" investment is the reason that Seattle's planned capital expenditures per capita are so much higher than any other entity, or than Seattle's historical expenditures. Summary of Library Services Indicators of current levels of library services—collection size and library footage per capita—indicate that Seattle and Renton are approximately the •• same. While King County's provides a similar collection size, the actual library space it provides per resident is significantly lower than either Seattle or Renton. Since the City of Seattle is embarking on a"once in a generation" �•. investment in its library system, one might expect that its service indicators will rise even higher in the near future. Regarding expenditures, whether one looks at operating costs or planned capital investment, Renton's expenditures per capita are the smallest by a wide margin, followed by King County and then Seattle. 7.

Operating Cost per Capita: Total operating (non-capital) costs for parks and recreation programs were divided by the total population in order to calculate per capita cost. This procedure was used for each entity that reported data (King County, Renton and Seattle). The County's data is specific to the West Hill area. G. and H. Planned and Historical Capital Expenditure per Capita: For planned capital improvements, we divided the 6-year total cost of the capital improvement program by 6 years to calculate an annual average. The annual average was then divided by the population to determine the cost per capita per year. We performed a similar analysis of 5-year historical data. This procedure was used for each entity that reported data (King County, Renton and Seattle). The County's data is specific to the West Hill area. Summary of Parks and Recreation Renton has by far the highest levels of service for its parks system, and its citizens pay for it in the form of the highest operating and capital expenditures per capita. Seattle's parks data is not as good as Renton's but both cities have higher service levels than King County. The County's third place finish is due to its policy of holding down, and sometimes reducing the County's budget for parks and the County's mission as the provider of regional parks, but not local parks. 8. Planning and Land Use Regulation Service Providers Before and After Annexation Land use planning and regulation are currently provided to the West Hill area by King County. In the event of annexation, land use planning and regulation would be provided by the annexing city(Renton or Seattle) because each city provides its own planning, development, and code enforcement departments.

The County's data is the countywide average for the unincorporated area and all its contract cities, and is not specific to the West Hill area. • Summary of Planning and Land Use Services King County has the best record in this area. It has the smallest staff and cost per capita, but it has the quickest turnaround time for processing major and minor permits. Renton and Seattle have virtually the same staff per ECONorthwest 68 August 25, 1999 West Hill Analysis of Governance Options capita, but Seattle's cost per capita is much higher, and it's turnaround time is the worst. 9.

Dispatched Calls for Service per Officer: This indicator is calculated by dividing the total number of dispatched calls for service (which excludes calls that do not result in a dispatch) by the number of sworn police officers assigned to patrol. Lower number of calls per officer mean that the officer has more time to spend per call, and more time between calls for preventive �- patrol. The County's data is specific to the West Hill area. B. Response Time -Emergency Calls: Data for each jurisdiction represents the average elapsed time between dispatch of a unit and arrival of officer(s) at the scene of an emergency incident. Data for Renton and Seattle are for the current city limits, and data for King County is for the West Hill area. a August 25, 1999 69 ECONorthwest West Hill Analysis of Governance Options Seattle's average response time is for all calls, emergency and otherwise, so it is not directly comparable to the emergency response times reported by the other jurisdictions. King County Sheriff emergency calls are defined as "critical" (event posing obvious danger to life of officer/citizen and felony crimes in progress), or"Priority 1" (requires immediate police action such as silent alarms, injury accidents, disturbances involving weapons,etc.). The County's classification of"Critical" and"Priority 1" are similar to, but not identical to the city's "emergency" call. A lower response time means that an officer(s) arrives more quickly at the scene of an incident to provide emergency services, which is particularly critical when the incident poses danger to the life of a citizen or an officer. The County's data is specific to the West Hill area. S C. Response Time - Non Emergency Calls: Data for each jurisdiction represents the average elapsed time between dispatch of a unit and arrival of officer(s) at the scene of an incident that is not an emergency. King County Sheriff non-emergency calls are defined primarily as "Priority 2" (prompt dispatch to less critical situations such as verbal disturbances, shoplifting, audible alarms, etc.), or"Priority 3" (routine dispatch for which time is not a crucial factor (burglary, vandalism, theft, etc.). The County's classification of "Priority 2" and"Priority 3" are similar to, but not identical to the city's "non- . emergency" call. Data for King County is for the West Hill area. D. Criminal Investigations per 1,000 Population(Part 1 Crimes): Part 1 ... Crimes include criminal homicide, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft, and arson. Lower numbers indicate fewer crimes being investigated per 1,000 population. This is generally assumed to mean that there is a lower crime rate, although an additional factor is the availability of investigators. E. Operating Cost per Capita: Total operating (non-capital) costs for police were divided by the total population in order to calculate per capita cost. This procedure was used for each entity that reported data (King County, Renton and Seattle). The County's data is specific to the West Hill area. Operating costs for all entities exclude the cost of correctional facilities and services. Summary of Police Services The King County Sheriffs'Department conducts only 55 criminal investigations per 1,000 people in West Hill versus 105 for Seattle and 108 for Renton. This difference suggests that overall crime rates in West Hill are lower than in either neighboring city. One should take care in reaching this conclusion, however, since West Hill has significantly less commercial activity per capita that its neighbors. Per capita crime rates may be lower in West Hill because there are fewer opportunities to commit property crimes in stores and businesses. One would expect that the low number of investigations in West Hill plays a role in allowing King County to keep per arm ECONorthwest 70 August 25, 1999 West Hill Analysis of Governance Options capita operating costs significantly below both Renton and Seattle. When emergency calls are received, however, Renton's police department provides response times that are significantly faster than King County (the only other jurisdiction with a comparable number), and it does so at a cost per resident below that of Seattle. 10. Roads/Streets Service Providers Before and After Annexation Roads and streets are currently maintained, repaired, and built in the West Hill area by King County. In the event of annexation, roads and streets would be the responsibility of the annexing city (Renton or Seattle) because each city provides its own public works department.

August 25, 1999 71 ECONorthwest West Hill Analysis of Governance Options • A. Traffic Congestion Standard(at Evening Rush Hour)for Arterial Streets: The traditional methods for evaluating and determining the level of service (LOS) for a roadway are documented in the Highway Capacity Manual. Generally, the level of service is rated on a scale from"A" to "F", much like academic grading. LOS "A" through"C"implies free flow traffic with minimal delays, while LOS "D" and"E"imply unstable traffic flow with significant delays. LOS "F' implies forced unstable traffic flow with the potential for substantial delays. King County's level of service standard is referred to as the Transportation Adequacy Measure (TAM). It is a system-wide evaluation of the arterial congestion serving a zone or service area. The TAM score is an average of the volume to capacity ratio of all roadways during the PM peak hour from a zone to all other zones. The TAM averaged score is compared to the adopted Transportation Service Area, level of service standards in the Comprehensive Plan. The West Hill area has a TAM average Level of Service standard of E. Generally, in the more urbanized areas within King County, the LOS for traffic congestion typically ranges from "D" to"E", while the LOS in rural areas ranges from "C" to "D". The County's data is specific to the West Hill area. Renton's level of service measure is based on travel time, measured by the distance that can be traveled in 30 minutes in different modes of travel (i.e., single occupancy vehicle, high occupancy vehicle, and transit). B. and C. Years Between Overlays or Resurfacing: This indicator shows the frequency of major maintenance of arterial roads and local streets. If other considerations are equal (i.e., road base material and condition), a more frequent schedule of overlay will provide "better"road surfaces. The County's data is specific to the West Hill area. D. Operating Cost per Capita: Total operating(non-capital) costs for roads and streets were divided by the total population in order to calculate per capita cost. This procedure was used for each entity that reported data(King County, Renton and Seattle). The County's data is specific to the West Hill area. E. and F. Planned and Historical Capital Expenditure per Capita: For planned capital improvements,we divided the 6-year total cost of the capital improvement program by 6 years to calculate an annual average. The annual average was then divided by the population to determine the cost per capita per year. We performed a similar analysis of 5-year historical data. This procedure was used for each entity that reported data (King County, Renton • and Seattle). Costs may include grant revenues and/or participation by Washington's Department of Transportation. The County's data is specific to the West Hill area. ECONorthwest 72 August 25, 1999 West Hill Analysis of Governance Options .. Summary-of Roads Services • Of the three jurisdictions, Renton spends substantially more per resident on maintaining its roads. Renton has also invested more in capital improvements in recent years, followed by Seattle. In addition, Renton plans to invest even more heavily in the immediate future. Since Renton uses a a different measurement standard to track congestion,and since Seattle does not report"years between resurfacing local streets," the only service indicator common to all three jurisdictions is "years between resurfacing arterials." -- For this indicator, Renton shows the best performance with a seven year interval, King County follows with a reported 7— 15, and Seattle trails the group with a 30—40 year interval. a 11. Sewer Service Providers Before and After Annexation Sewer services are currently provided to the West Hill area by the Skyway- Bryn Mawr Water and Sewer District. In the event of annexation, there are two ways sewer services could be provided: (1) the annexing city (Renton or Seattle) could use its own utility department, adding district personnel and facilities as provided by law, or (2)the annexing city could contract with the.

Average Monthly Cost of Sewer Service per Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU): An "Equivalent Residential Unit" (ERU)is a measuring tool used in sewer and water utilities. It is a unit of measure, much like inches, gallons, acres, etc., but it measures an"average household" (i.e., it is equivalent to the amount of sewage generated by one typical single family house). All other sewer system customers are measured by the number of ERUs they equal (i.e., a business that is 8.5 ERUs generates sewage equal to 8 and one/half houses). Some variation in data will occur between jurisdictions because of different assumptions about the amount of sewage generated by one ERU. Local agencies use a range of 600—750 cubic feet per ERU. Using a higher cubic footage causes the monthly cost to increase, using a lower cubic footage causes the monthly cost to decrease. B. Operating Cost per Equivalent Residential Unit: Total operating (non- capital) costs for sewer were divided by the total number of ERUs in order to calculate the cost per ERU. This procedure was used for each entity that reported data (Skyway and Bryn Mawr Water and Sewer Districts, Renton and Seattle). This number differs from indicator A, above, in that this is an annual cost, and it excludes any capital costs. C. and D. Planned and Historical Capital Expenditure per Capita: For planned capital improvements, we divided the 6-year total cost of the capital improvement program by 6 years to calculate an annual average. The annual average was then divided by the population to determine the cost per capita per year. We performed a similar analysis of 5-year historical data. This procedure was used for each entity that reported data (Skyway and Bryn Mawr Water and Sewer District, Renton and Seattle). Capital costs were calculated per capita, rather than per ERU. Summary of Sewer Services Seattle has the lowest average monthly cost, and the second lowest operating cost per equivalent residential unit. The City has very low recent investment and equally low planned future investment per capita in its sewer system. Renton made the greatest investment per capita in its physical assets (capital improvements), and is falling back to middle of the pack for the next 6 years. Recently the Skyway and Bryn Mawr Water and Sewer Districts merged. The merged districts expect to provide more efficient service by"creating one streamlined operation with increased equipment and resources," thereby decreasing per capita operating costs. a a ECONorthwest 74 August 25, 1999 West Hill Analysis of Governance Options 12.

This procedure was used for each entity that reported data (Renton reported having zero capital expenditures, and Seattle reported its expenditures). .. Summary of Solid Waste Services Solid waste services are mandatory in the cities of Renton and Seattle and ,.� optional in unincorporated King County. Solid waste collection schedules are virtually identical among Seattle, Renton and Waste Management Rainier. Costs, however, are not similar, with Renton's garbage service the least expensive at $12.55 per month, followed by Waste Management Rainier at $14.10, and Seattle is the most expensive at $16.10. If one elects to have yard waste pick-up, the difference between Renton and Seattle and unincorporated King County is even greater. 13.

All other water system customers are measured by the number of ERUs they equal(i.e., a business that is 7 ERUs uses water equal to 7 typical houses). The significant variance in water pressure pounds per square inch (PSI) ranges reflect differences in the (1)types of water users (e.g., residential, commercial, industrial, etc.), and(2) geographic location of water users (e.g., elevation, distance from supply, etc.).

Property Taxes Taxing Agencies Before and After Annexation A. City Property Taxes: City property taxes are levied only on property that is inside the boundary of the City. Renton properties pay the Renton tax rate, Seattle properties pay the Seattle tax rate, and properties in unincorporated King County do not pay a city property tax. If the West Hill area annexes to Renton or Seattle, it will pay City property taxes to the City to which it annexes. B. Consolidated Property Taxes: Consolidated property taxes are paid by all properties in King County, regardless of whether the property is in a City or in unincorporated King County. Annexation will not affect payment of Consolidated property taxes. C. County Road Property Taxes: The County Road property tax is paid only 410. by properties in unincorporated King County, but properties inside cities, such as Renton or Seattle, do not pay this tax. If the West Hill area annexes to Renton or Seattle, it will no longer pay County Road property taxes. aa. D. School District Property Taxes: School district property taxes are paid by all properties within the boundaries of the school district, regardless of a ECONorthwest 80 August 25, 1999 West Hill Analysis of Governance Options whether the property is within a city or the unincorporated area. The properties in the West Hill area that are in the Renton School District will not change school districts as a result of annexation. E. Fire District Property Taxes: Fire district property taxes are paid by all properties within the boundaries of Fire District 20. In the event of annexation, properties in the West Hill area would not pay property taxes to the Fire District because city governments are not allowed to levy fire district taxes. OOP F. Library District Property Taxes: The library district property tax is paid by all properties in the King County Library district, but properties inside ,,, cities that have their own libraries, such as Renton or Seattle, do not pay this tax. If the West Hill area annexes to Renton or Seattle, it will no longer pay King County Library district property taxes. • G. EMS Property Taxes: EMS property taxes are paid by all properties in King County, regardless of whether the property is in a City or in unincorporated King County. Annexation will not affect payment of EMS property taxes. H. Hospital District Property Taxes: Hospital district property taxes are paid by all properties within the boundaries of a hospital district. In the event of annexation to Renton, properties in the West Hill area would continue to pay property taxes to the hospital district.

The amount of property taxes due by a property owner are calculated by dividing the property's taxable value by 1,000, then multiplying the result times the levy rate. For example, a home in Renton with a taxable value of$175,000 would have its total tax calculated as follows: $175,000 1,000= 175 x $13.34506= $2,335.39. Property tax levy rates vary from property to property according to the boundaries of many taxing agencies. All properties that are served by exactly the same taxing.agencies are assigned the same "tax code." A property across the street may have all the same taxes except one, in which case it is assigned to a different"tax code" along with only those properties that share exactly the same taxing agencies. There are many"tax codes" in West Hill, and in the cities of Renton and Seattle. In order to obtain"typical" tax rates for this study, as presented in the table above, we selected tax codes that applied to the greatest number of parcels. For West Hill, we used tax code 4305, in Renton we used tax code 2124, and for Seattle we used tax code 0030. A. City Levy Rate: City property tax levies are used for any department, program, or service of the City that levys the tax. State law limits the levy ECONorthwest 82 August 25, 1999 West Hill Analysis of Governance Options rate set by-City government to $3.60, but the voters in a city can approve extra taxes at an election. B. Consolidated Levy Rate: The "consolidated" property tax levies are actually the combined total of several separate property taxes.

County Road Levy Rate: The County Road property tax levies are used by King County to pay for part of the cost of building and maintaining roads in unincorporated King County. D. School District Levy Rate: The Renton School District property'tax levy is the total of a special levy of$1.87903 used for a portion of the operating costs of the school district, and a bond fund levy of$1.90387 used to pay off bonds that were sold to build new schools and renovate existing schools. E. Fire District Levy Rate: Fire District 20's property tax levy pays for virtually all of the costs of the fire district, including payroll, supplies, services, and capital items. F. Library District Levy Rate: The King County Library System's district property tax consists of a 50¢levy that pays for most of the costs of the library system, including payroll, supplies, services, and the library's collection of books and other materials, plus a levy of$0.09120 for paying off a bond issue used to build libraries.

Other Taxes and Fees Taxing Agencies Before and After Annexation A.Business & Occupation Local Taxes: Cities have the authority to charge Business and Occupation (B&O) taxes, but counties do not. Seattle has a B&O tax, Renton does not. If the West Hill area annexes to Seattle, local ,r, businesses will pay Seattle's B& 0 tax. If West Hill annexes to Renton, local businesses will not have a B&O tax. B. Business License: Cities and counties have the authority to charge business license fees. King County, Renton and Seattle all have business license fees. Only the amounts would change as a result of annexation. C. Gambling Tax. Cities and counties have the authority to charge gambling taxes. Only the amounts would change as a result of annexation. D. Utility Tax: Cities have the authority to charge utility taxes, but counties do not. Renton and Seattle have utility taxes, although rates differ between the two cities. City utility taxes do apply on utility services in West Hill that are provided by either Seattle or Renton. For example, utility taxes on electricity are paid in West Hill where the City of Seattle provides electric service. If the West Hill area annexes to Seattle or Renton, each city will likely impose utility taxes on all utility services. E. Franchise Fee: Cities and counties have the authority to charge franchise fees. Only the amounts would change as a result of annexation. F. Development Fees: Cities and counties have the authority to charge fees for reviewing and processing applications for development. Only the amounts would change as a result of annexation. G. Transportation Mitigation or Impact Fees: Cities and counties have the authority to charge transportation mitigation or impact fees. King County and Renton have such fees, Seattle does not. If the West Hill area annexes to Renton, new development will pay Renton's road impact fee rate instead of King County's rate. If West Hill annexes to Seattle, new development will not pay a road impact fee (but may be required to mitigate specific adverse ... impacts). H. Park Mitigation or Impact Fees: Cities and counties have the authority to charge park mitigation or impact fees. Renton has such fees, Seattle and King County do not. If the West Hill area annexes to Renton, new development will pay Renton's park impact fee rate. If West Hill annexes to Seattle, new development will not pay a park impact fee (but may be required to mitigate specific adverse impacts). August 25, 1999 85 ECONorthwest West Hill Analysis of Governance Options I. Fire Mitigation or Impact Fees: Cities have the authority to charge park mitigation or impact fees, fire districts do not. Renton has such fees, Seattle and Fire District 20 do not. If the West Hill area annexes to Renton, new development will pay Renton's fire impact fee rate. If West Hill annexes to Seattle, new development will not pay a fire impact fee. J. Tax Rate on Taxable Retail Sales: Sales taxes are charged in cities and counties. The rates in Renton and Seattle are the same as in King County, therefore there would be no change as a result of annexation. Rates of Other Taxes and Fees � � a Y� i A.

Business & Occupation Local Taxes: Business and occupation (B&O) taxes are calculated on the gross income of the business or occupation. Local B&O taxes are separate from and different than the B&O tax collected by the State of Washington. The local B&O tax rate cannot exceed 0.2% unless higher rates are specifically approved by the voters. Seattle voters approved the ECONorthwest 86 August 25, 1999 West Hill Analysis of Governance Options city's rates.of 0.215% to 0.415%, depending on the type of business. As a city, Renton has the option of charging a B&O tax, but it has not chosen to impose that tax. B. Business License: Cities and counties have different polices regarding business license fees. King County only charges fees to business that it has .r. enforcement authority, and the rates vary by types of business to reflect the extent of enforcement. Renton charges a business license rate based on the number of employees ($55 per employee), and does not charge a B&O tax. Seattle charges a flat fee of$75 to all business, and also charges a B&O tax. C. Gambling Tax: Gambling taxes are set by local governments, but tax rates cannot exceed limits in state law. Taxes are based on gross receipts, or net receipts (i.e., gross receipts less prizes). The following are the specific rates charged by King County, Renton and Seattle. Amusement Games(net) 2% 2% 2% Punch Boards and Pull Tabs— 5% 5% 5% for profit(gross) , Punch Boards and Pull Tabs— 10% 10% 5% non profit(net) Bingo(net) 10% 10% 10% Raffles (net) 10% no tax 10% Card Games(gross) 11% 10% Not allowed D. Utility Tax: Utility taxes are set by cities (counties cannot charge utility taxes), but tax rates cannot exceed limits in state law. The following are the specific rates charged by Renton and Seattle. S August 25, 1999 87 ECONorthwest West Hill Analysis of Governance Options Natural Gas 6% 6% �..

Franchise Fee: Franchise fees are set by local governments. The fees reported in this study are based on a percent of gross receipts. -- F. Development Fees: Development fees are set by local governments. G. Transportation Mitigation or Impact Fees: Mitigation fees and impact fees are set by local governments in compliance with state law. Mitigation fees follow the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), and impact fees follow the Growth Management Act(GMA). There are strict rules about these fees. �. They are one-time payments by new development, and they cannot be charged for deficiencies that existed before the development occurred. The rates in the table above are for single family houses, but King County and Renton also charge the fees to other types of development. King County's fees range reflects the fact that it charges different fees in different "Mitigation Payment System" zones. H. Park Mitigation or Impact Fees: Park mitigation or impact fees are subject to the same laws as transportation fees (above). I. Fire Mitigation or Impact Fees: Fire mitigation or impact fees are subject to the same laws as transportation fees (above). In addition, fire districts cannot charge such fees. J. Tax Rate on Taxable Retail Sales: The sales tax rate consists of 6.5% for the State, and a series of local option sales taxes. Renton, Seattle and King County all have 2.1% of local option taxes: 1% for the local government, 0.1% for criminal justice, 0.6% for transit, and 0.4% for the RTA. ECONorthwest 88 August 25, 1999 West Hill Analysis of Governance Options LIMITATIONS ON USE OF THE ANNEXATION ANALYSIS There are a number of topics that are beyond the scope of this study. • This study does not evaluate the desirability or feasibility of annexation from the viewpoint of the cities of Renton and Seattle. Such a study would consider whether or not the cities should annex the West Hill area. In some instances, an area may cost more to serve than the revenue it would produce if it were annexed into a particular city. Conversely, some annexations are advantageous to cities because they produce more money than the cost of providing public facilities and services. This study does not determine whether either of these scenarios is true for either city (Renton or Seattle) nor does it provide any analysis of the net benefit or cost to either city. • This study does not calculate the cost or time required to bring annexed areas up to the level of service currently provided by annexing cities. This study assumes that the annexing city will provide the annexed area with levels of service comparable to those provided to the residents and businesses in the existing city limits. In general, the cost and time required to equalize levels of service will vary depending on many factors, including(1) the difference between the city's level of service and that of the unincorporated area, (2) the revenue generated by the unincorporated area, (3) the city's reserves, and(4) the ability of the unincorporated area to obtain a "seat" on the city council. An analysis of these, and other relevant variables is beyond the scope of this study. Furthermore, it may not be feasible for a city to provide its level of service for annexed areas. This could occur if a city is experiencing growth within its pre-annexation boundaries that exceeds its ability to sustain its level of service, or if the annexed area is significantly deficient in infrastructure and does not have the financial base to underwrite a significant portion of the cost of eliminating the deficiency. In addition, it is important that readers remember that these comparisons represent a snapshot in time. Service levels, costs, and levels of taxation inevitably change over time. As a given jurisdiction improves processes, the quality of service delivery might improve and costs might fall. In addition, when looking at the County as a service provider, it is worth remembering that, as the County moves away from providing local services to urban areas which are not served under a contract with a municipality, both the infrastructure and the revenues supporting current service levels in areas like West Hill will likely diminish over time. • This study includes a limited analysis of the causes of variations in levels of service and costs of service among the local governments. August 25, 1999 89 ECONorthwest West Hill Analysis of Governance Options This study makes direct comparisons between the County and each City, and reports the differences in each comparison. There are many potential explanations for such differences. A partial list includes (1) anomalies occurring in the year for which data was reported (1998), (2) policies of particular governments to devote greater resources than other• governments for particular services or facilities, (3) differences in tax base MOO and other resources,(4) different management style, (5) different administrative costs, (6) relative success in obtaining intergovernmental revenue, and (7) relative acceptance of or resistance to taxes, fees, and debt. An examination of the causes of variance would consist of(a) thorough compilation of anecdotal explanations, and/or (b) a multi-variate statistical analysis. Such research is beyond the scope of this study.

ECONorthwest 102 August 25, 1999 West Hill Analysis of Governance Options Notes on Incorporation Feasibility Assessment A Year 2000 population estimate based on a 1998 estimate developed by the King County demographer and 1990 census counts. Our year 2000 population forecast of 14,375 represents the population we would expect to see if the linear growth trend of the 1990s were to continue. B 1999 taxable assessed value is the value on which year 2000 taxes in �.. the unincorporated area will be levied. The value is based on 1998 assessed value of real property as reported by King County's Assessor's Office. We estimate that personal and intercounty utility/transportation property, which is subject to property tax levies, will add an additional 8.9 percent on to the assessed value of real property. According to the Assessor's Office this assumed percentage ... approximates the current countywide average. To arrive at 1999 total assessed value, then, we assume an inflation-adjusted growth rate of 3.5 percent over 1998 levels. (Given a 2.5 percent local inflation rate, NOWthis 3.5 percent real growth rate translates to a 6 percent nominal rate.) C The assumed city levy rate of$1.60 per$1,000 of assessed value represents the maximum regular levy allowed by Washington law for a city that does not provide its own library or fire protection services. Upon incorporation, this city levy would replace the existing county road levy of$1.74 per $1,000. To remain consistent in our same cost/same level of service assessment of feasibility, we neutralize the net difference in revenues by assuming the city would levy some form of utility tax that would raise the same amount of revenue as the $0.14 difference in the two property tax levies. If a City of West Hill were to take on provision of fire protection and library services, state law would allow the city to raise its base levy rate by $2.00 to a total of$3.60 per$1,000. This $2 increase would roughly take the place of the individual fire district and library district levies that West Hill residents now pay. However, since the revenues raised by the fire and library districts are being spent in the area anyway, if we were to increase the city levy rate by $2, then our "same cost—same level of service" assumption would require that we also add the expenditures of the existing fire and library district to the city's projected expenditures. In the end, the expected revenues and expenditures associated with fire and libraries would cancel each other out. For the sake of clarity, therefore, we simply assume that the existing fire and library districts would remain, continuing current levels of taxes and expenditures. August 25, 1999 103 ECONorthwest S West Hill Analysis of Governance Options • Notes on Incorporation Feasibility Assessment D In any given year, some portion of property taxes will go unpaid. Eventually, however, almost all property taxes levied by a city will be paid. For a city that has been in existence for a number of years, therefore, current-year delinquencies are largely"netted out" by back tax receipts so that the net tax revenues received in that year should represent roughly 99 percent of the total due. This translates into an ~" effective delinquency rate of 1 percent. E Projected total retail sales represents the sales we would expect West -- Hill to enjoy based on the number of retail employees located within West Hill and on sales taxes paid in 1998 by firms located within West Hill to unincorporated King County. The relationship between -• these two factors and total retail sales is based on statistical analysis of the pattern observed in 23 established King County cities in 1998. Using ordinary least squares multi-factor regression analysis, we t- found that 96 percent of the variation in per capita sales tax receipts among the 23 cities can be explained by accounting for the differences in the above two factors according to the following equation: (Per capita sales tax receipts) = $18.39+ $1,169 * (Retail employees per capita) + 1.26 * (Sales tax revenues paid to city by firms located within the city). Further details of the regression analysis can be *M. found on page 113 of this appendix. Forecast per capita sales tax revenues for the proposed city, therefore, .,. represents those revenues that would be consistent with a city with 500 retail employees (the number of retail employees in West Hill as reported in the West Hill Community Profile) and $42,000 in sales ... taxes paid by businesses within West Hill to unincorporated King County (as reported by King County staff analysis of sales tax payments reported to Washington State Department of Revenue — �,. adjusted for the difference between the portion of the one-percent tax counties receive and the portion received by cities) rounded down to the nearest five dollars (in the interest of ensuring a conservative ,., estimate), arriving at a final estimate of$60 per caita. To arrive at the estimated total value of taxable retail sales, we multiplied our estimated per capita receipts of$60 by the estimated 1998 West Hill population of 14,000 and then divided those total receipts by the effective municipal tax rate of 0.0084. Aft ECONorthwest 104 August 25, 1999 •" West Hill Analysis of Governance Options Notes on Incorporation Feasibility Assessment AMP F Under current law, the goal of the state Sales Tax Equalization account is to bring cities that receive relatively small sales tax revenues per capita closer to the average for all municipalities across the state. Specifically, the goal is to provide funds to any city with per capita receipts lower than 70 percent of the statewide average until that cit'y's combination of sales taxes and equalization equal the 70- percent target. However, while this is the stated goal, the current sales tax equalization account does not have enough revenue to make up all of the shortfalls across the state. For the first half-percent tax that all cities levy, there are enough funds in the equalization account to bring all sales-tax-poor cities up to the 70-percent target. For the optional second half-percent, however, there are insufficient funds to bring every city fully up to the target. Experts at the Municipal Research and Services Center forecast that, in 2000, the sales tax equalization account should have enough revenue to fund 75 percent of second half-percent targets. G Projected property tax revenues are calculated by combining our projected taxable assessed value of$737 million, the assumed city levy rate of$1.60 per $1,000 of taxable assessed value, and the assumed property tax delinquency rate of one percent. H Estimated sales tax receipts are based on the assumption that the proposed city would levy both half-percents allowed by law, which is equal to the amount currently levied in the unincorporated area. Of this total one-percent tax, the Washington State Department of Revenue (DOR) is allowed to retain one percent. (That is, the DOR keeps one-percent of the city's one-percent.) King County is then eligible to receive 15 percent. Therefore, the proposed city would receive net sales tax revenues that represent, in total, roughly 0.84 percent of gross retail sales. Projected sales tax receipts, therefore, have been derived based on the retail sales projections as detailed in discussion E. Our sales tax equalization revenue estimate is calculated based on Municipal Research and Services Center projections for year 2000 equalization targets and funding levels. The figure represents the 'IN equalization that would be received given: 1) sales tax revenues totaling$60 per capita ($30 for each half-percent levy) as projected above; 2) a forecast 70-percent target for each half-percent levy of AMP $61.80 per capita; and 3) as discussed above, equalization account funding of 100 percent of the first half-percent levy and 75 percent funding of the second. 4116, August 25, 1999 105 ECONorthwest West Hill Analysis of Governance Options • Notes on Incorporation Feasibility Assessment J In 1992, voters in King County approved a one-tenth-of-one percent sales tax levy intended specifically to raise revenue to support criminal-justice expenditures. This 0.1 percent sales tax is collected by the state's Department of Revenue and is distributed to the County and cities to cover costs of covering criminal-justice-related ,., expenditures. The County receives 10 percent of the criminal justice revenues off the top, and the remainder is distributed to the cities and the county equally, on a per capita basis. In 1998, cities in King ,,. County received criminal-justice sales tax distributions to of almost $17.80 per capita. For our forecast, we assume that, in inflation adjusted dollars, this distribution will not change through year 2000. K State-shared revenue projections are based on per capita estimates of statewide distributions of the motor vehicle excise tax, the liquor tax, liquor profits, unrestricted gas tax, restricted gas tax, camper/trailer excise tax, and general criminal-justice revenues as forecast by the Municipal Research and Services Center. These revenues are distributed to all cities in the state on a per capita basis, and in 2000 they are forecast to total $45.83 per capita. Projected revenues, therefore, are arrived at by multiplying this $45.83 by the projected city population of 14,375. L Some revenue distributions are available from the state for qualifying cities only upon application. We assume that the proposed city would apply for and receive per capita distributions for a contract police grant, a domestic violence prevention grant, a child abuse prevention grant, and an innovative law enforcement grant. According to Washington State's Department of Community, Trade, and Economic Development, distributions for these grants currently total $4.11 per capita. M The real estate excise tax (REET) is levied by a city on the full sale price of real estate transactions within its jurisdictional boundaries. A city that is required(or chooses) to plan under the Growth Management Act is permitted to levy two 0.25 percent pieces (totaling 0.5 percent). The revenues generated by each 0.25 percent are generally constrained in their use to capital investments. Based on conversations with finance departments of other cities in King County (like Auburn and Burien), we project annual REET revenue generation for the proposed city of$350 for every $1 million of assessed value within the city boundaries. OWN ECONorthwest 106 August 25, 1999 .. West Hill Analysis of Governance Options Notes on Incorporation Feasibility Assessment MOW N Upon incorporation, the responsibility for provision of land and building regulation would transfer from the County to the newly incorporated city. Coincident with this new responsibility, the City will be in a position to receive all new revenues generated through the issuance of building and land-use permits. Projected building permit ASVrevenues represent the average yearly revenues received by King County from permits issued within the area of proposed incorporation for 1994 through 1998. As a matter of policy, King County has adopted a"full cost recovery" model, meaning that the County's goal is to cover the costs of regulation through the revenues generated by its permitting and inspection activities. To remain consistent in our "same cost/same level of service" baseline assessment of feasibility, therefore, we assume the proposed city would pursue a similar full cost recovery model. The implications of such an assumption are that the costs of the city's land-use office would exactly be balanced out by receipt of land-use and building permit revenues. 0 In the past, cities that contracted with King County Courts for provision of court services paid a set schedule of fees to the Court for services provided. When the Court imposed fines on individuals or firms who violated city statutes, the Court forwarded those fines and forfeits on to the city. In most cases, the revenue cities received from fines and forfeits exceeded the cost to the city of contracting for court services, so dealing with violations of city codes generally represented Van a net gain to cities. Recently, however, King County Courts have instituted a new contracting model that is designed to make King County Courts, in effect, a partner with cities. Under the new model, .10 the Court will retain 75 percent of the fines and forfeits imposed on violators and the cities will receive 25 percent. In return, cities will not generally be required to pay fees for court services. (Cities will still be fully responsible for paying witness fees, and 50 percent responsible for jury fees.) Our projection of fines and forfeit revenues, therefore, represents King County's projection of the proposed city's 25-percent share. P King County currently imposes a $15 license fee for all vehicles registered in the county. Cities within the county are eligible to receive revenues from this fee paid by their own residents. We projected the revenues that would be generated by this fee by assuming per capita revenue generation of$8.36, which is equal to the 1998 amount per capita received by the City of Seattle. August 25, 1999 107 ECONorthwest West Hill Analysis of Governance Options Notes on Incorporation Feasibility Assessment Q As indicated in the discussion of the property tax levy, the difference between the current King County road levy of$1.74 per $1,000 of assessed value and our assumed city tax levy of$1.60 that would replace it upon incorporation is $0.14 per $1,000. In order to be true to our"same cost/same level of service" assumption, we assume that the city would levy some form of utility tax to "make up" for the difference in the two levies. Therefore, this projected utility tax is exactly equal to the difference between the revenues that would be WWIraised by a $1.74 per $1,000 levy rate and the $1.60 city levy. R Under current statute, Washington State counties are not allowed to impose utility taxes, but they are allowed to impose franchise fees, and currently, King County does impose a 5 percent franchise fee on cable television. For our"same cost/same level of service" assessment of feasibility, we have assumed that the proposed city would also levy the same 5 percent fee on the sale of cable television service. The revenues projected to result from this fee are set according to per capita revenue generation in the City of Auburn. SaliP S If incorporation were successful, the newly incorporated city would be invited to join the King County Community Block Grant and HOME Investment Partnerships Consortia. Based on the incorporated city's share of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Consortium's low and moderate-income population, the city would be eligible to become a pass-through city. This would entitle the city to receive a direct share of the federal CDBG funds to allocate to local needs, which primarily benefit low- and moderate-income persons. While we include CDBG revenues (as well as other dollars whose use is restricted) in our list of"General Fund" revenues, it is important to note that CDBG dollars must be used to cover eligible expenditures. CDBG dollars should not be viewed as a source of revenue available for covering general fund expenditures. CDBG revenues were estimated by King County staff based on current levels of Federal Block Grant distributions and current distributions of low- and moderate-income households. T Projected expenditures for general administration include costs of salaries, benefits, facility costs, supplies, furniture, computers, and city vehicles. See discussion of Key Expenses in the Analysis of the Feasibility of Incorporation in the main body of the report for a more detailed discussion. ECONorthwest 108 August 25, 1999 "' West Hill Analysis of Governance Options • Notes on Incorporation Feasibility Assessment U Estimated costs of contracting for City Attorney and prosecution services are based on conversations with firms that currently contract for the provision of such services with a number of cities in King County. The costs of such contracts can vary widely, depending on the level of service desired by city policymakers. The projected figure assumes moderate demands on an attorney's time for city council meetings as well as moderate requirements for prosecution services. V Projected public safety expenses include estimates for provision of police services, public defense, and adult detention. All projections represent estimates generated by King County departments. For a discussion of the projected costs of public safety see the section on Analysis of Incorporation Alternative in the main body of the report. W Projection of roads operation and maintenance expenses represent King County Road Services Division's estimates of the cost of providing road maintenance, traffic operation, road overlay, and street lighting for arterial streets in the area for 1999. For the Wig purposes of our year 2000 financial forecast, we project that these costs will remain constant, in inflation-adjusted terms, through the year 2000. X Projections for costs of operation and maintenance of the incorporated city's parks and recreation program are based on estimates provided by King County's Department of Parks and Recreation. Y Projections for the costs of operating an Office of Land Use are based on the assumption that the newly incorporated city would continue with King County's full cost recovery model for building and land-use permitting. This assumption is consistent with our"same cost/same level of service" baseline assessment of feasibility. Our projected cost of operation for an Office of Land Use, therefore, is exactly equal to the projected revenues earned through the permitting process. VAL IMP WNW August 25, 1999 109 ECONorthwest West Hill Analysis of Governance Options Notes on Incorporation Feasibility Assessment • Z If a newly incorporated city is constrained by the statutes of the Growth Management Act, then soon after incorporation, that city is ... required to begin development of a Comprehensive Land Use Plan and a Capital Facilities Plan. In theory, a city could contract with consultants who could develop these plans for as little as two or three hundred thousand dollars. In practice, however, the experience of other, recently-incorporated cities has been that, when all is said and done, these plans cost a great deal more. (Both Woodinville and .., Shoreline, for instance, have spent more than $1 million on their combined Comprehensive Land Use Plan and their Capital Facilities Plan.) While the development of such plans takes a number of years, it is prudent for a newly incorporated city to anticipate ongoing expenditures for development of both a Comprehensive Land Use Plan and a Capital Facilities Plan. AA See discussion for point Z. BB Projections of the costs incurred for the provision of human services are based on data provided by King County staff. These projected costs are based on estimates of actual operating expenditures incurred by King County for Child Development Services, Group Supported Employment Services, Individual Employment Services, Specialized Industries Employment Services, and Community Access Services. CC Miscellaneous/non-departmental expense projections include estimates of likely expenditures for city insurance, association dues, and for the costs of an alcohol/drug addiction program that is required in order for a city to be eligible to receive state-shared revenue distributions for alcohol profits and taxes. The projected cost for ® insurance is a small expense compared to that of many other cities of comparable size. This is based on the assumption that a newly incorporated city would contract for the provision of many services, and would therefore not have many direct employees to insure. Estimates of the costs of association dues are based on conversations with comparable cities. Projected expenditures on an alcohol/drug addition are consistent with the statutory requirement that at least two percent of alcohol tax and profit distributions received from the state be spent on such programs. YAW DD No matter how thoroughly city decisionmakers plan there will always be unanticipated events requiring discretionary funds. Our projection of an operational contingency set-aside is intended to serve this need. ECONorthwest 110 August 25, 1999 West Hill Analysis of Governance Options • Notes on Incorporation Feasibility Assessment EE It is customary for a city to establish a financial reserve approximating five percent of its annual General Fund revenues. This projected expense is intended to represent a reasonable annual contribution to building such a fund. FF Currenily, King County's Water and Land Resources Division administers the surface water management (SWM)program in pursuit of dual goals: 1) the preservation, protection, and .. enhancement of surface water resources such as streams, lakes, and wetlands, and 2) the management of the impacts of flooding on persons and property. The County funds these activities through fees that are imposed on all developed property within the designated SWM program service area (approximately the urbanized western one-third of King County). For single family residences, the fee is currently a flat rate of$85.02 per year, collected as a distinct line item on property tax bills. A newly incorporated city would be eligible to take over surface water management responsibilities, and at the same time, begin to receive SWM revenues. However, the use of these revenues is restricted by statute to specific surface water management activities. Because these restrictions may be binding (that is, SWM revenues received in a given year may exceed the cost of operation, maintenance, and capital investment in SWM projects, but at the same time, those revenues must eventually be used for SWM purposes)we hold SWM revenues separate from the general "` fund in our presentation of projected revenues and expenses. GG King County Road Services Division uses two separate categories for tracking capital investments in roads: 1) large investments that are And planned out long in advance in the County's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and 2) generally smaller investments that are funded from HH a pool of money set aside each year, which is available to fund projects anywhere in the unincorporated part of the county. This second category of expenditures is referred to as "countywide" investments. ""` Our projection for the newly incorporated city's annual capital expenditure represents a combination of the average yearly expenditure planned for in the 1999-2004 CIP and the County's average historical expenditure for countywide projects. (The County does not necessarily plan countywide expenditures years in advance, so we take the historical average expenditure as a reasonable indicator of what a city would have to expend to provide a similar level of service.) 4010 August 25, 1999 111 ECONorthwest UMW West Hill Analysis of Governance Options The Incorporation Process Typically, the incorporation process begins with a petition drive by area -- residents. If advocates believe that they will be successful in amassing voters' signatures equal to at least ten percent of the registered voters of the proposed area of incorporation, then those advocates would submit a "Notice a of Intent" to the King County Council, which would in turn notify the Boundary Review Board of King County. At this time, if no such action had already been takep, the Boundary Review Board and the County might choose to commission an independent analysis of the fiscal feasibility of incorporation, to be overseen by the Boundary Review Board. If incorporation advocates are successful at amassing the requisite signatures, then the Boundary Review Board will convene a public hearing on the matter during which it will recommend in favor of or against incorporation. A referendum would then be held among the residents of the proposed area of incorporation to determine the ultimate success or failure of the move. a a a a ECONorthwest 112 August 25, 1999 West Hill Analysis of Governance Options DETAILS OF REGRESSION ANALYSIS USED FOR FORECASTING RETAIL SALES TAX REVENUES PER CAPITA Regression Output (Per Capita Sales Tax Received by City) = $18.39 + $1,169* (1997 Retail Employees within City/ Population) + 1.26* (Sales Tax Paid to City by Firms Located Within the City/ Population) King County Cities Included in Regression ALGONA BLACK DIAMOND BOTHELL BURIEN CARNATION COVINGTON DES MOINES DUVALL ENUMCLAW FEDERAL WAY MAPLE VALLEY MERCER ISLAND NEWCASTLE NORMANDY PARK PACIFIC SHORELINE WOODINVILLE AUBURN KIRKLAND LAKE FOREST PARK REDMOND RENTON ISSAQUAH Estimation Output Variable Coefficient Std Error t-statistic Probability Constant 18.39 10.90 1.69 0.107 a Retail Employment per 1,169 135.16 8.65 0.000 capita Per Capita Sales Tax �.

RCW 35.02.030 requires •. that the petition: (1) Indicate whether the proposed city or town shall be a non-charter code city operating under Title 35A RCW, or a city or town operating under Title 35 RCW; (2) Indicate the form or plan of government the city or town is to have; (3) Set forth and particularly describe the proposed boundaries of the proposed city or town; S (4) State the name of the proposed city or town; �.• (5) State the number of inhabitants therein; (6) "Pray"the city or town be incorporated. The process set out in the incorporation statutes for initiating incorporation is shown in Figure 2. In 1994 the legislature adopted SHB 2176 which VIMchanged the process for handling of petitions (see steps 3 & 4 in Figure 2). The bill also provided a priority process for competing annexations and incorporations, whereby annexations initiated within 90 days of the start of the incorporation process would have priority over the incorporation effort. ANNEXATION Annexation may be a preferred alternative when formation of a city is not financially viable, or when, even though cityhood is possible, the annexing immir city can provide more or better quality services than a city on its own could provide. Annexation is appropriate if the unincorporated area is satisfied that the annexing city can and will provide the services it needs. The decision may also be influenced by whether the annexing area can"get a seat" on the city council. Figure A-2 sets out the basic approaches to annexation. It should be noted that cities can be organized pursuant to two different statutes. "Non-code cities" are generally those organized prior to 1967 pursuant to RCW Title 35. In 1967 the legislature provided a new, more flexible incorporation option. Cities organized under the new statute (RCW IMMO August 25, 1999 115 ECONorthwest S " West Hill Analysis of Governance Options Title 35A) are called code cities. Older cities could opt to reorganize under the new statute. Bothell, Lake Forest Park and Kirkland have all exercised this option. W..

Within the Urban Area, as time and conditions warrant, cities should assume local urban services provided by special purpose districts. LU-31 In collaboration with adjacent counties and cities and King County, and in "" consultation with residential groups in affected areas, each city shall designate a potential annexation area. Each potential annexation area shall be specific to each city. Potential annexation areas shall not overlap. Within the potential annexation area the city shall adopt criteria for annexation, including conformance with Countywide Planning Policies, and a schedule for providing urban services and facilities within the potential annexation area. This process shall ensure that unincorporated urban islands of King County are not created between cities and strive to eliminate existing islands between cities. LU-32 A city may annex territory only within its designated potential annexation area. All cities shall phase annexations to coincide with the ability for the city to coordinate the provision of a full range of urban services to areas to be .01 annexed. LU-33 Land within a city's potential annexation area shall be developed according to that city's and King County's growth phasing plans. Undeveloped lands adjacent to that city shall be annexed at the time development is proposed to receive a full range of urban services. Subsequent to establishing a potential annexation area,infill lands within the potential annexation area which are not adjacent or which are not practical to annex shall be developed pursuant to interlocal agreements between the County and the affected city. The interlocal agreement shall establish the type of development allowed in the potential annexation area and standards for that development so that the area is August 25, 1999 123 ECONorthwest S • "" West Hill Analysis of Governance Options • developed in a manner consistent with its future annexation potential. The interlocal agreement shall specify at a minimum the applicable zoning, development standards, impact mitigation, and future annexation within the NNW potential annexation area. • LU-34 Several unincorporated areas are currently considering local governance options. Unincorporated Urban Areas that are already urbanized an are within a city's potential annexation area are encouraged to annex to that city in order to receive urban services. Where annexation is inappropriate, incorporation may be considered. arr Development within the potential annexation area of one jurisdiction may have impacts on adjacent jurisdictions. LU-35 A jurisdiction may designate a potential impact area beyond its potential annexation area in collaboration with adjacent jurisdictions. As part of the designation process the jurisdiction shall establish criteria for the review of development proposals under consideration by other jurisdictions in the impact area. RF-4 Each city with a potential annexation area shall enter into an interlocal agreement with the County for defining service delivery responsibilities. A financing plan for investments in the annexation areas shall be included in the interlocal agreement for capital facilities and service delivery. Level-of- - service standards and fmancial capacity should be considered for each area, together with density issues and phasing of developments. AO, RF-5 In order to transition governmental roles so that the cities become the provider of local urban services and the County becomes the regional government providing Countywide and rural services,unincorporated Urban Growth Areas are encouraged to annex or incorporate within the 20-year timeframe of these Policies. To achieve this goal,all cities that have identified potential annexation areas shall enter into interlocal agreements with King County that includes a plan for development standards and financing of capital and operating expenditures during the period prior to annexation. a./ ONO a ECONorthwest 124 August 25, 1999 a - West Hill Analysis of Governance Options APPENDIX E: COUNTY POLICIES AND PROGRAMS RELATED TO ANNEXATION AND INCORPORATION King County has a number of adopted policies and programs which consider annexations and incorporations in light of the State's Growth Management Act requirements. The following information is intended to clarify King County's role as a local government in annexation or incorporation of unincorporated areas within of the Urban Growth Boundary and provide information to assist the public in making thoroughly informed decisions about governance. WNW I. THE ANNEXATION AND INCORPORATION PROCESS VIM The annexation and incorporation process is a citizen driven process. Washington State law requires that the residents of a community initiate both annexation and incorporation proposals. The Boundary Review board acts on specific proposals according to RCW 35.02 and 36.93. II. ADOPTED ANNEXATION AND INCORPORATION POLICIES State law requires the development of countywide planning policies that establish a framework to develop and adopt consistent comprehensive plans in both the County and suburban cities. In 1994, King County Council and the suburban cities of King County adopted and ratified the Countywide •• Planning Policies. Relevant policies are attached and are summarized below. • The policies require each city to adopt, in consultation with residential ... groups in the effected area, a potential annexation area. (LU-31) • Within a potential annexation area, cities must adopt criteria for annexation and a schedule for providing urban services and facilities. (LU-31) • One goal of the relevant policies is elimination of unincorporated urban islands between cities.(LU-31) • Urbanized areas that fall within a city's potential annexation area are encouraged to annex to that city in order to receive urban services. Where annexation is inappropriate, incorporation may be considered. (LU-34) • Unincorporated areas are encouraged to annex or incorporate with the .110 20-year timeframe of the Countywide Planning Policies. (RF-5) • Each city with a potential annexation area shall enter into an O- interlocal agreement with the County for defining service delivery responsibilities. (RF-4) August 25, 1999 125 ECONorthwest West Hill Analysis of Governance Options • The King County Comprehensive Plan incorporates the vision described by the Countywide Planning Policies and uses it to guide growth and development for residents of the unincorporated area. The Plan emphasizes a planning process to ensure delivery of appropriate levels of service to urban areas and the transition from County government to city government through the annexation and incorporation process. Relevant Comprehensive Plan -�- policies are summarized below. • Policy U-302 directs King County to favor annexation over incorporation within the Urban Growth Area. Incorporations should be supported only when annexation is not appropriate and when the formation of new cities is necessary to assure adequate facilities and services for growth consistent with the King County Comprehensive Plan Countywide Planning Policies. • King County will not support annexations or incorporations that apply zoning to maintain or create permanent, low-density residential areas. The King County Comprehensive Plan defines Potential Annexation Area �.. (PAA) as the area the city is expected to annex within the next 20 years and calls for interlocal agreements between the city and the County to address timing, transition, and service issues in the PAA. aaar III. POTENTIAL ANNEXATION AREA PROGRAM • nr King County has a Potential Annexation Area (PAA) Program to address the requirements of the Countywide Planning Policies (CPPs) and eelthe Comprehensive Plan. The components of this program are summarized below. • A PAA is an area in unincorporated King County adjacent to a city WNW that is expected to annex to the city and to which the city is expected to provide services and utilities with the next two decades. ONO • Cities will propose PAA boundaries and the County will officially designate them. • The regional issues and services which King County will be • responsible for after annexation will be identified as will the local issues and services which the city will be responsible for upon annexation. • Strategies will be developed for the funding for local and regional services and for the transition of responsibility for local issues and services from the County to the city. • Cities will sell-select into the County's PAA Program dependent upon • declaration of a PAA supported by an adopted Comprehensive Plan a and agreement with neighboring cities where appropriate. a ECONorthwest 126 August 25, 1999 West Hill Analysis of Governance Options • The collaborative process between city and County will result in one interlocal agreement defining the boundaries of a city's PAA and a second interlocal agreement addressing the delivery of services in the PAA. IV. 1997 POTENTIAL ANNEXATION AREA AND ANNEXATION AND 01110 INCORPORATION WORK PROGRAM In 1996, King-County wrote to cities with PAAs asking to begin work on setting PAA boundaries and reaching agreement on service delivery questions. Several King County cities have indicated interest in beginning the process but no agreements have been finalized as of March, 1997. King County and Issaquah have completed work on a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) which lays out the outstanding issues between the two AO. jurisdictions and establishes a schedule for resolving them and completing the boundary agreement. King County staff is also working with the rural cities of Carnation, Duvall, North Bend, and Snoqualmie. The remaining cities with PAAs have issues to resolve or changes to Comprehensive Plans to complete before negotiating agreements with King County. Although the designation of PAAs is required by the CPPs and GMA, there is no penalty for cities which do not work with the County to formally designate a PAA. In the event that a new city is created in an area that a neighboring city might declare as part of its PAA area, King County would: • work with the existing jurisdiction to establish new PAA boundaries, and • begin a PAA process with the new city as soon as practical and appropriate. King County's role during the incorporation process is to support and provide information about County services, expenditures and revenue to the consultant preparing the Fiscal Feasibility Study. After incorporation occurs, King County works very closely with the new city to assist in the delivery of urban services by contract in areas where the city does not wish to find outside contractors. This support includes assistance in identifying the community's preferred service levels,writing contracts for services where appropriate and, in general, assisting the new city with the -- nuts and bolts of incorporation.
