Mr. David Johnston presented film slides of the two schemes, labeled 2 and 2A with hypothetical settings and building place- ment encompassing those units directed to be included by the Council by previous action. Scheme 2 placed the Library, City Hall and a Multi-Purpose Unit all in the Liberty Park and site 4, West of Houser Way. Site 2-A placed the Multi-Purpose unit in Cedar River Park, and left the basic plan otherwise much the same. Plan 2 called for the Multi-Purpose unit to encompass the present pool providing cover for a year around facility which could be designed so as to allow the pool to be uncovered if desired. Mr. Johnston requested that the Council make its determination as to which scheme is to be developed as the fi.:al plan in order that their Contract might be completed at an early date, and questions were invited. Discussions ensued regarding parking facilities and comparative costs of the two ia site developments which could not be projected without details of floor area and plans, outside of an estimate of$1,400,000.00 for auditorium under dost.-projected-)within the capital improvement program whereas the multi-purpose unit was between four and six hundred thousand dollars. Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Pedersen, that scheme 2 be developed in concern for the inclement weather as it allows year around use of the pool. It was pointed out that the Park Board would have jurisdiction over development of the recreational facilities and members of the Board who were present were requested to comment. Mr. Regis, member of the Park Board, recalled the letter submitted to the Council stating that the preference of the Park Board would be either Site 3 or 2A, it being felt that site 2 engulfs most all of the recreation area. Mr. Johnston pointed out the relocation of the soft ball diamond and other facilities stating that use of Cedar River shotild'be- a consideration ofthe Park Board in developing the City's recreation facilities with the 22 acres extra allowed. Park BoardlMember Tom Teasdale stated his opinion that the parking benefit would not offset the damage to result to the recreation area and that he would like to see the multi-purpose hall in Cedar River Park giving the City a start on development of this area leaving the park as is. Mr. Johnston acknowleged sketch 2 may have greater impact as a govern- mental civic center site from a public viewing standpoint. Mre..Oalldcher, Park Board Member advocated development of Site 2A with families and their children using the same area and not being split up by the picnic area being in one place and the play area in the other. Upon inquiry Planning Director Jensen advised of meeting with the John Graham Company and a general agreement with Council as to the location of the City Hall however, - � it was felt that the multi-purpose building, if to contain recreational facilities, should' be out of Liberty Park and any allied arts or smaller meeting facility might be contained j in a wing of the library. Councilman Perry restated his opinion for developing site 2A placing the multi-purpose building in Cedar River Park with adequate parking, Councilman Delaurenti affirmed his motion for adopting site 2 recommending revision of the parkin- and keeping all of the civic center facilities together, Vote on the question resulted in dissenting voice vote and roll call was requested by the Council as required which resulted as follows: Aye: Poli, Hulse, Schellert, Pedersen, Garrett and Delaurenti. No: Bruce, Dahlquist, Gianini, Perry and Morris. The motion to adopt Scheme 2 for final development and drawings by Johnston-Campanella was carried. -2- Minutes of the Renton City Council Meeting (cont.) 9-14-1964 HEARING: Proposed Sanitary Sewer L.I.D. - S.E. 112th Street and 114th Ave. S.E. This being the date set, the hearing was declared open and communications were read from Etta Duke, Y. C. McCullum, and Fred L. 1,1endling, along with a Petition with names of six additional property owners protesting the project due to proper functioning of present septic systems and Contractors interest in the area. A letter read from Mr, and Mrs. Harold Jordan advised of availability of other sewer facilities to their property. A letter read from City Engineer Wilson reported that the protests represented 30.39% of the total Pssessment. It was pointed out that the owner was not included in the assess- ment for Sunset who advised his property could be served from that facility. Mrs. Jordan stated they would p_-efer hooking to the trunk at the front of their property rather than being assessed fro,,-,i the back trunk. As there was no Further comment it was moved by Poli, seconded by Schellert, that the Hearing be closed. Carried. Moved by Schellert, seconded by Poli, that the L.I.D. be referred to the City Engineer to proceed with the project and to the Law and Ordinance Committee for the proper document. Carried. COMMUNICATIONS: A letter from City Engineer Wilson submitted and recommended execution of Permit from the State Highway Commission, No. Enumclaw 2310, allowing the City to construct, operate and maintain a ten inch C.I. water pipeline across a portion of Primary State Highway No. 5 (SR 167), South Renton Interchange, crossing centerline of PSH No. 5 at approximate Highway Engineer's Station 1008+30, to serve Renton Village. The Permit has been reviewed by the City Attorney. Moved by Poli, seconded by Hulse, to concur in the recommendation of the City Engineer and the 1`ayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute the Permit. Carried.

Moved by Poli, seconded by Dahlquist, to concur in the recommendation. Carried. 3. Variance request V-2-4-64, Richard Reeves to construct residence on lot having access to public right of way via 30 ft. easement. Approval recommended. Discussion disclosed that the subject property was fronting upon what has heretofore' been considered private property, however, since an easement granted to the public has been produced the variance would not be needed. Upon inquiry, City Attorney Shellan stated that the dedication was made in 1958 and whether the City had accepted it would be a matter of record. Moved by Schellert, seconded by Dahlquist, that the dedication be accepted at this time if the record does not show prior evidence of same. Carried. Moved by Dahlquist, seconded by Bruce, that Mr. Reeves be refunded his fee for the variance as it is not necessary. Carried. A letter from Jim Carver, Mgr. of Jim's Tavern, requested that Mutual Amusement Co. be granted the required license to operate an additional pinball device in said place of business. Moved by Poli, seconded by Dahlquist, -to refer the application to the Police and License Committee with power to act. Carried. A letter from Northern Pacific Railway Company appealed the decision of the Planning Commission in connection with the operation of certain parking lots on railway right-of ways to be leased by United Parking, insofar as the immediate requirement for paving of the lots is concerned, The estimated paving costs of between $4,700.00 and $4,900.00 were prohibitive to successful establishment of the new venture. Service to the City in control of off-street parking was pointed out and the paving requirement reqLe sted to be postponed for a 12 month period at which time it will be paved. if the business proves to be successful. Otherwise, the railroad will cancel the lease and barricade the premises from further parking use per Mr. R. M. Eisen, Assistant Industrial Agent. Moved by Garrett, seconded by Pedersen, that the date of September 28, 1964 be set for hearing on the matter and that the requestor and the Planning Commission be notified. _ Carried. A statement in the sum of $7,491.78 was read from Puget Properties, Inc. for the installation of 1241 C.I. watermain per City Engineer's plan from Tiffany Park to Rolling Hills Plat. Summary of the costs was attached according to prior agreement with the City for increasing sizes of new mains. Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Schellert, to refer the invoice to the Fire and Mater Committee and Auditing and Accounting Committee with powe to act. Carried. -3- Minutes of the Renton City Council Meeting 9-14-1964 COMMUNICATIGNS: (cont.) A letter from Mayor D.W. Custer requested concurrence in the transfer of Mr. John Neal to the position of Working Foreman I, Central Garage, at a salary of $572.00 per month for the balance of the year, and for thetransfer of Mr. Lawrence Eriks, Carpenter, from Central Garage (3600) to Street Maintenance (3240) with the salary remaining as it is at present. The transfers will improve control and use of personnel and will eliminate a portion of the inter-departmental charges for the Central Garage from Street Maintenance. Mayor Custer further explained that recent retirement of three men has resulted in these Department Head requests in filling the vacated positions. Moved by Eruce, seconded by Poli, to concur in the transfers as stated. It was pointed out that the PAS survey and report called for council concurrence as far as reclassifications are concerned the other action requiring only administrative directive. The pending motion carried. A letter from City Attorney Shellan reported -that In-Lieu-Of Tax Statements on Municipal Parking Lot #2 covering the period from 1961 to the present had been received by the City in the sum of $2,400.00 and subsequent negotiations with the King County Assessor had confirmed the opinion that the assessment was excessive due to the fact the City owned only a small portion of the property as the balance was encumbered by the City of Seattle pipeline right-of-way which prevented the use for any building or other im- provement purposes.. The County had not been aware of the encumbrance on the property and a new assessed valuation base has now been established reducing the taxes to $389.58 for the aforesaid period. It was pointed out that Seattle has a similar problem on the Seattle Center Parking Garage and Seattle may contest the matter on the grounds that the taxes only apply where subject parking facilities have been acquired by condemnation. It is not felt that the City of Renton tax is of the consequence to be litigated, however the outcome of the Seattle suit will be of interest. It is recommended that the City of Renton pay the reduced tax under protest and await t'_.e outcome of any suit Seattle may institute to determine whether such tax applies to municipal parking lots which have been acquired without condemnation action. Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Poli, that the revised tax statements be referred to the Auditin w and Accountin� g�Co ttee with power to act. Carried. r+ .nraiw� A report from Mayor Custer submitted list of Transfers of Funds within Budget Classifications for the month of August as required under RCW 35,33 120 and pursuant to City of Renton Resolution No. 1232 as follows: 8-4-64 Library, 5000; Acct. 201, Statewide, Social Security, $140.00, unto: Acct. 203, Industrial Insurance. ; and on 8-10-64, Waterworks (Maintenance) 7120, From: Acct. 417, Material & Supplies, $250,00 unto: Acct. 410, Chemicals; 8-27-64, Parks & Recreation, 6120 M, & 0,, From: Acct. 302, Utility Service - Water-Metro, unto Acct. 310, Rentals, Sundry, $100.00. A request submitted this date was read from the Renton Downtown Merchants` Assn. requesting the City to grant free parking on Thursday and Friday, September 17 and 18, in conjunction with their September Spectacular 31 Hour Sale . Attention was called to prior request listing; all dates to be needed for the year for which free parking had been granted with the stipulation that this was to be the final free parking list. The late date of the request not allowing Committee recommendation and the effect on the City's Budget were discussed and it was moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Perry, that the request be denied., it being acknowledged that retail business plans for a whole year may not be an easy task but the City finds it a like task in having periodically to adjust its budget. . The pending motion carried. A letter from Planning Director Jensen advised of much interest being expressed regarding the widening of Second Avenue and the minimum requirements to be fixed for -the right-of- way. Not less than 85 feet wAs the width suggested in order to convert it to two way and to provide adequate width and capacity to allow access to the adjacent business district with efficient flow of through traffic as well. This width will also provide for left turns at intersections and parking and there would be three moving lanes in each direction. After review with the John Graham Company the recommendation remains the same which would result in a total right-of-way width of 101 feet�byzt_ :rf, wider side- walks are desired and State Standards to bs met the right-of-way would require a width of rf 120 feet. This would allow for planting of street Grecs and 17 ft. wide sidewalks. The latter width was the w1dth:-favordd, hy.' the John Graham Company and the Planning Department in consideration of the facts that it would aid in stabilizing and improving economic ad- vantage of the Central Business District adding to the overall attractiveness. Mayor Custer advised he had requested the John Graham consultation and report from Mr. Jensen and called attention to the fact that a number of business concerns are await- ing a decision before proceeding with construction plans inasmuch as they don't want to build if condemnation is imminent: Mr. Sam Zerwoodis advised a client is contemplating securing a permit but wants to know the plans , Discussion ensued regarding issuance of building permits and relationahip.t6 the right of way, and poss�ililt setback requfterOnts, a 20 foot setback favored by tie business developer.

The Property Committee recommendation was read that the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized'to�execute-'tbe letter agreement to institute the relocation. iiovcu by Schellert, seconded by Garrett, to concur with the recommendation of the Property Committee. Carried. Councilman Garrett, Chairman of the Street and Alley Committee, presented his report which was read by the Clerk with Council actions taken as follows: 1. Regarding the Petition requesting the City to block off the City of Seattle Pipe Line right-of-way in the vicinity of Phillip Arnold Park, the area has been barricaded several months ago and will remain closed indefinitely. 2. Investigation pursuant to petition requestin; a four-way stop at the intersection of 7th Avenue and Renton Street revealed that the accident rate has been only one (1) accident in two years and inasmuch as the use of stop signs merely to control.,speed is not considered good practice it was recommended that the request be denied. Moved by Lelaurenti, seconded by Bruce, to concur in the Committee recommendation. Carried. 3. Bonnell-Shane Storm Sewer Agreement - 92nd Avenue South - Due to lack of execution by the property owners it was moved that the City files be closed an this matter. Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Morris, to concur in the recommendation by the Committee. Carried. 4. '.he Committee requests more time on the matter of prohibiting parking during certain hours on Main Street. Granted. 5. Regarding request of H. E. Nyman that signs be installed on the west side of Pelly Street,between 4th and 6th Avenues North, designating No Parking from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. in order to allow two lane traffic movement, it was felt that with Park, Wells and Williams streets being North-South arterials, Pelly is not needed as an arterial and would only create additional hazards at 4th Avenue North requiring additional traffic contr, if so designated. It was recommended that the request be denied. Moved by Bruce, seconded by Poli, to concur in the recommendation. Carried. 6. Regarding request of Mary Miller et al for lowering alley in Block 19 to allow drainage of water, the request was referred to the City Engineer and Street Commissioner to determine whether such would be feasible, and more time was requested. Granted. Street Commissioner TeGantvoort upon inquiry reported that the alley could not be lowered too much or it would not drain out onto the street, however they are working with the Engineering Department to determine whether some lowering might be effected in order to alleviate the immediate problem. 8. Regarding Quit Claim Deed from James and Mary Bone offering 7 ft. of right-of-way on "0" Street, the land instead has been conveyed to purchaser of the adjoining property allowing said property to be contiguous to public right-of-way as required by F.H.A. Since the problem has been solved and the City has never accepted the Deed it is recom- mended, inasmuch as the property would be of no value to the City, that the Deed be returned. Moved by Poli, seconded by Dahlquist, to concur in the recommendation. Carried. Counciilman Perry called attention to the arduous committee efforts nut forth in promotion of the Kennydale Beach Bond Issue and submitted letter from Citizens Fot -Renton's Orderly Development", opposing the issue. The Clerk read the letter which urged the voters to vote no. Councilman Perry stated he had answered the allegations and given his rebuttal which could not be mailed out in time to reach the voters, in a statement issued to the press and the Clerk was requested to read same. Priority listing of City Improvements was an item of concern,and Mr. Perry's letter reported improvements to be instituted by budgeting which were to be accomplished without a bond issue, in priority interest, and pointed out that Renton needs such recreational facility and this being our last major waterfront park site left on Lake Washington, and City owned, it would not be wise to reject development of a community beach for the entire area. Mr. Perry submitted a letter, directed to him from Mr. Chas. M. Pigott, in reply to a request for Pacific Car and Foundry Company's support of the Bond Issue wherein the Council was requested to be mindful that the proposal in itself might seem insignificant however, as a part of an evergrowing total of taxes, looms large. Mr. Pigott inquired whether this is the best place to invest at this time in view of other requirements and requested, prior to endorsement from his Company, a list of priorities issued by the City Council. Moved by Garrett, seconded by Morris, that the party -representing "Citizens for Renton's Orderly Development" be mailed a copy of Mr. Perry's answer by Certified Mail with return Receipt Requested. Carried. Councilman Delaur_enti called attention to the brochure promoting th-2 :;.ssue and congratulated Mr. Perry and his Committee for a f1ne job. i Minutes of 1.-he Renton City Council Meeting NEW OUS:: 1LSS: Mayor (Juster advised that Councilman Trim, who is in the hospital, has ased be relieved of h.'s Council Committee duties for the present time and Councilman L;11,11c,e has bee:i2:e u;ested to assume those duties on all committees which include the 701 Planning Co mn:.-ctee of which he was chairman, the: Street .Lnd Alley Committee alis ::ie Propertk Cbi&i:"L tee Mayor CUs"ter announced than the Preliminary Budget will be presented to the Council nes_=, week, revisions having to be made in accordance with action of the Ccrigress regard .ng Sael11 Security and additional revenues to be included which were rot horea anticipated.

Mr. Richard Eisen introduced Mr. Eugene Detroit of United Parking and reviewed their request for a 12 months grace period for paving the parking area in question in order to determine whether the business would be feasible to operate. The Clerk read the letter which Mr. Eisen submitted firs-c requesting reconsideration of the paving require- ment. Upon inquiry, Planning Director Jensen advised that the Commission had made its decision regarding designation of access points and certain control having to do with placing cars a certain distance from the rails and Logan Street and the Ordinance says such parking lots shall be paved. It was pointed out that the Commission and the parties had agreed on all of the conditions and that it was not known to the Commission at the time that the paving matter was not satisfactory. Upon inquiry, City Engineer Wilson advised of no objections to the parking operation, it being felt that controlled parkin; was needed in the area. Mr. Eisen advised that, at the time of the Commission hearing no figures could be furnished and upon recalculation of costs it was felt that the 12 months would be needed to ascertain whether paving and continued operation would be warranted. Upon inquiry, Mr. Detroit advised of development plans which included at present everything on the West side of the Railroad track and a portion on the East Side between 4th and 6th Avenues No., along Burnett. Mr. Detroit is with United Parking 1316 B - Madison, Seattle.

Ry. carried, it was moved by Poli, seconded by Schellert, to waive the , require - ment for 6 months. Mr. Detroit stated that the 12 months was desired inasmuch as the winter parking months would not dive accurate subsistence accounts. Dahlquist inquired whether the 6 months would be prohibitive to warrant operation and Perry inquired regarding contract awards which might be a contributing factor. Mr. Detroit called attention to the fact that the parking program was not too far from development but that they would like an opportunity to get the full picture. Mr. Eisen added that they did not want to depend upon contract awards as a basis for operation and that the 12 months period would give them a definitear,swer. Question was called on the pending motion and the vote was announced as motion carried imposing the 6 months waiver.

A '-ette;: from City Attorney Shellan was read advising of execution of Stipulation on October 10, 1964 between Malones, Inc. and the City which settles in full the court action and dismisses the Summons and Complaint filed in connection therewith. It was suggested that the City Clerk have the document recorded. A Petition was read containing the signatures of three property owners, Matt Dragin, Patrick A, Nolan and A., L, Major, requesting that the City take necessary steps to open and improve the alley adjacent to Lots 1-7, Block 10, Earlington, between Maple and L'nd Streets. Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Bruce, to refer the matter to the Street and Alley Committee, the Street Commissioner and the City Engineer to report back, Carried. A letter from City Clerk Helmie Nelson advised that the specifications are now prepared and reacy for bid call for purchase of Accounting Machine as authorized in the -965 Budget. It was recommended that November 16, 1964 be set as date for opening of bids thereon. Moved by Poli, seconded by Hulse, to concur in the recommendations of the City Clerk, The motion carried. City Clerk Nelson reported that she,along with City Treasurer Gossett, Deputv City Clerk Gwen Marshall and Utility Accountant Ted Bennett, had attended the Annual Meeting of ie State Fin,ne!n Officers,on October 15 and 16, at Tacoma which membership is comprised of CtLte Audito--s, Bonding Counsellors, City Treasurers and City Clerks and Assistants, and p::; sen': also are the various Banking Representatives and Business Machine Sales Agents. Some of the important items discussed were to be proposed to the Legislature and Resolutions were adopted for submitting thereto. Included in the discussions was a proposal for elimination of the Vendor's Certificate which we now attach to our Vouchers. A Resolution was adopted for forwarding to the Association of Washington Cities recommending reimbursement to employees for attending official business meetings in their own cities which is now given only when meetings are attended outside the i corporate limits. Another matter recommended for enaction of legislation was to provide II relief for City Clerks regarding compiling of Jury Lists. At present, as of April lst of the odd numbered years, a list muse be submitted -to tiie Superior Court Judge of the District containing all information rrom original voting registrations regarding persons available for jury duty. The Superior Court Judges are sole authority for selecting jurist, It was proposed that the duty of compiling .jury lists might possibly be passed on to the Secretary of State oi as in Cities designated as County Seats. Other interesting sessions were held on Equipment Rental, Cost Accounting and how Cities might secure a greater share of State Taxes, the Admission Tax being the only recent benefit to Cities outside of -the -� gasoline tax -for arterial stl`eet funding. It is felt chat the Street Cost Accounting system is going to provide proof to the legislature that Cities do need a greater allocation for assistance insofar as street costs for traffic control, construction, maintenance, police protection and the program in -eneral is concerned and a Resolution was adopted to this effect. Also proposed was that the City Fiscal Year run from July lst to June 30th, with objections brought forth regarding t1ie fact that so many o-f Che reports compiled by City Treasurers and City Clerks are based upon the annual -fiscal year from January lst ....r to December 31st, It was thought t;.at perhaps eventually the originators of such documents might be educated to use Che new designation. Last, but not least, attention was brought to the -fact Chat Certificates of Merit were awarded to various fire and police and other Departmental divisions of Cities and being a mutual admiration society, Che Finance Officers have decided to institute a ?".erit Award Certificate among their own membership. The Session was reported to have been very interesting and beneficial and enjoyable as well. -2- 43 Minutes of the Renton City Council Meeting 10-26-64 COMMUNICATIONS: (cont.)

Barnes, Director of Facilities, requested Permit for 55KV tie line across Park Avenue, 3/8" 55KV span guy across Garden street 522 .50' north of inter-7ection of 8th Ave. North and two 3/8" 55KV span guys with 7/16' down guv Carden Street 1161.50' North of intersection of 8th Ave. No. as peg and plan views attached, and with proper Hold Harmless Agree- trent Moved r,- 1,orris, seconded by Hulse, to refer the request to the City Engineer and Cit- rsttorneN7 to report back. Carried. A letter ren C-t37 Attorney Shellan was read reporting on referral of 10-26-64 regarding le,,--1 status of limiting of number of service stations in the City that it would be permissioe nor the City as part of its comprehensive zoning ordinance, to designs,-_ certain areas wher-in the operation or construction of service stations would be permissible.This uo uld, however, require further zoning breakdown of business- zoned properties. Such ordinances are an exercise of police power granted by the Washington State Constitution and the legality of same must be sustained on the basis that such ordinances are necessary to protect or promote the public health, safety, welfare or morals of the public. Adoption of such ordinance would present a serious problem of non--conforming use as to existing service stations which might find them- selves in a zone other than V,at permitting service station operation. Other Cities have rejected the plan of limiting and restrictin; operation of gasoline service stations by means of its comFrehensive zoning-This is a matter that our Planning Director and Commission should seriously consider. Limitation by means of Police power has been explored by other communities in which case a study and findings mustbe made as to health, safety and welfare factors such as fire, explosion, traffic, fumes, etc. and the City must be quite tiiorousli in order to substantiate the granting or denial of any permit for erection and operation of a service station in order to avoid having its decision termed arbitrary or capricious, our Supreme Court in the case State ex rel Nenatchee, etc., V Wenatchee, 50 Wn. (2d) 378 having held that "the ultimate burden of proof relative to alleged arbitrary and capricious zoning action rests upon zoning autLiorities and not upon a property owner seeking a permit. Other cities have attempted to regulate at least part of the problem by prohibiting construction and operation within certain distances from any public building of assembly. There again some ordinances have been struck down as unconstitutional, unless adequate evidence had been adduced to show that any such service station does present a hazard, while others relating to minimum distances from certain structures have generally been upheld where adequate findi_nus substantiated restrictions. There is no question that our Court would not uphold any ordinance prohibiting "any more" filling stations in the City. -2- 55 Minutes of the Renton City Council Meeting 11-9-64 COMMUNICATIONS: (cont.)

The pending motion subsequently carried. Letter from C. G. Prahl, Director of Highways, State Highway Commission, advised Mayor Cpster with regard to the turn-out from the north side of Highway 405 and wood trestle i0to entrance of Longacres, that their District Engineer has been requested to prepare plans for the widening of the intersection of the turn out road with Hwy. 405 in order to make it easier to make the turn. It is intended to reconstruct the trestle and section of road after completion of the new freeway bridge thereby eliminating the bridge bent in the middle of the road so that free passage under the trestle may be achieved. After completion of the bridge it is planned -that Monster Road will be re- aligned onto the trestle and clearances will be provided to avoid any obstruction to traffic at this point. The traffic pattern in the area will be under surveillance and any action taken as necessary to relieve the situation in the racetrack area. -2- f Minutes of the Renton City Council Meeting 12-15-64 COMMUNICAT IONS: A letter was read',, directed to Maybr. Custer from P. J> McKay, District Engineer, Skate Highway Dep'aftment, outlining problems discussed at meeting -on 11-17-64 at City Hall as follows: 1. Talbot Road from Grady Way South to Benson Highway- Estimate for four-laning Talbot Road was approximately $70,000 which included -four 12' lanes and using 6' shoulders and reinforced concrete pipe in lieu of present ditch, two manholes and four catch basins to handle drainage. Two 18' culverts would have to be extended. The embankment construction, surfacing and paving amount to about $25,000. Deducting the cost of the work yet remaining would leave a total of about $60,000 in construction to be, shared by the City and -the Developer. 2. North Renton Interchange - Possibility of limiting the City's share to not mor, than $400,000, the amount of the Bond Issue will have to be a determination- of the Stat,,,. Highway Commission but would be a new procedure for the State to do this. A decision will .be requested on the matter. 3. ' South 153rd Street Extension Westerly from Longacres to SSH 2-M - This extension would create some problems which would be costly to overcome if standard clearances of -the railroad crossings are to be observed. .4. Renton to Longacres Paving Project - Investigation was made of lack of effort to get this paving project under way and information received indicates that the sub- grade was not ready for paving until after the November rains had saturated the grade., and the grading project has not yet been accepted. S. Location of SSH 2-M Reconnaissance. Inquiry was made as to planning by the surveyors on the south side of -the Cedar River just east of 405 as the State's men have. not been working in that area. 4. . Lha�nelization of SSH 1-L at 87th Avenue South - This is being left until SR405 is opened next fall (1965) to see if it is really needed. Another letter from P. J. McKay, directed to the Mayor, was. read submitting prints and sepia reproducible of proposed design and right-of-way for the North Renton Inter-' change. The City was requested to provide information outlined therein which is needed -to determine final design for chose portions to be constructed with City funds. The Bureau of Public Roads has not yet approved the preliminary designs as requested by the City of Renton nor has the Headquarters office of the State Highway Commission, however, it was recommended that proceedings be commenced in preparation of an agree- ment at this time, revisions not affecting the limits of construction to be performed with Cityy_ State and Federal funds and final payment based on actual costs. An estimate of $337,000 was given as the City's share which does not include any costs for the proposed pedestrian crossing, construction southerly from 11 Avenue North or for purchase of the necessary rights-of ways. This cost was based on elimination of -t-he proposed street under the railroad overcrossing; provision for a' 40 ft. street to increase the total an estimated $64,000.00. A stage construction plan at reduced cost was proposed if City funds are not sufficient, however, it was believed to be essential that the plan provide for three westbound traffic lanes westerly of the interchange if two westbound lanes are to be constructed on PSH No. 2-RE easterly from the interchange. Mayor Custer advised of meetings held subsequently with the State Highway Department representatives and of the fact that the City Engineering Department is working on the information requested, which will be available For presentation to the State at an early date. The pedestrian ramp was discussed and minimum cost was estimated at $50,000.00 and City Engineer Wilson stated- he had advised the State if they would provide for the portion within the interstate we would provide the connections. Also,the $400,000.issue had -been based upon estimates provided by the State which was in the sum of $337,000 and included acquisition of right-of-ways and widening o the road beneath the structure which ,was now being deleted, in concern for limitation of costs. Mayor Custer advised he had submitted the previous communications to keep the Council apprised of the matters• concerning the City's right-of-ways. �A letter from City Attorney Shellan submitted report of the State Highway Commission, C. G. Prahl, Director of Highways, acknowledging problem which has de,�el9ped on South 153rd Street where overcrossing of the railroad tracks is under construction,,and obstru ion of the right-of-way owned by the City has been brought to attention. The District Engineer has taken action regarding the matter and will follow through on the -problem in order that it may be satisfactorily solved as soon as practical. A letter from Mrs. Margaret W. Evans, Acting Secretary, Windsor Hjlls Community Club, Inc.,, called attention to presentation of the new proposed Land,nP se Map to be made by the Planning Commission December 23rd and to -the fact ihat,the, Dobson-Cugini property zoning from R-1 to R-4 had been protested by -the Club,'s petition which had been signed by .117 home owners who felt anything over R-3,.was' e� cessive The Petition had been referred to' the Planning Commission for recommendation and it was .felt that no action should be taken on the Land Use Map until the report has -been received and acted upon by the Council.. -3- Minutes of the Renton City Council Meeting 12-14-64 COMMUNICATIONS: A letter from the Planning Commission was read which requested concurrence by the Council in the findingjthat the manufacturing of concrete products is not an allowable use under the existing Ordinance in regard -co L-1 zoning. The Council was advised by the Mayor that the administratinn had previously determined this finding to be correct and action was taken accordingly. This letter from the Commission would only serve to clarify the situation. Attorney Roger Lewis, on invitation to speak,advised that the height limitation and horsepower restrictions were not being violated by his client, Renton Concrete Products, and they were by right entitled to the building permit requested. Attention was called to written protests received from property owners in the area of the proposed project, and after further discussion by the Council, it was moved by Dahlquist, seconded by Schellert to concur in the finding of the Planning Commission. Carried. A letter from Mrs. Domenic Rockey requested separation of her property from that of the City of Renton Parking Area on Wells Street inasmuch as persons state that they have already paid for their parking as the meters appear to be in her lot.

Moved by Morris, seconded by Poli, to refer the letter to the Street and Alley Committee. Carried. A letter from Mr. Dwight Pack advised of interest of two firms to locate light manufacturing shops in Renton on the property leased by Lepack Veneer Company, at 714 [Jest 1%7aterway, from the City. It was pointed out by Mr. Pack that such business would bring in a large number of people and add to the payrolls, utilities and taxes of the City and although other cities have offered them land, they have chosen Renton because of the airstrip and Boeing Company. It is Mr. Pack's desire to aid in the financing; and building of the new facilities, however, transfer of the lease would be necessary inasmuch as the funds of the Lepack Company are exhausted. Moved by Dahlquist, seconded by Perry, to refer the matter to the Property Committee. City Attorney Shellan suggested that the Committee confer with the City Treasurer, the City Clerk and himself prior to acting on this matter inasmuch as the Company which was leasing the property was now non-solvent and the subject lease had been terminated for delinquent payment. The Lease had been inherited by the City from the Commercial Waterway District, upon its dissolution, in 1951 and covered a ten year period with a fifteen year optiop.

Carried. ,r.. HEARING: Fred Callen et al appeal-rezone decision pursuant to Ordinance No. 1840 and Land Use Map discrepancies This being the date set, the Hearing was declared open and audience comment was invited. Mr_ Fred Callen, 923 Sunset Blvd. addressed the assembly recalling events leading up to the present request for hearing when it was discovered that the Land Use Map did not reflect the change of zoning effected in Ordinance 1840. -1- 94 Minutes of the Renton City Council Meeting 12-21-64 HEARING: Fred Callen et al (cont.) Upon request,Planning Director Jensen outlined the subject area on a Land Use r.up which indicated Multiple Residence zoning for this property, which the Planning Commission, in view of the substantial amount of business zoning in the Highlands and proximity of this property; had consequently approved, not wanting to encourage spot or strip zoning any further than necessary. An overlay designated the zoning proposed and property in question, and the zoning if ;ranted would be in conflict with the land use map as presently in existence and with the new one to be proposed in the near future. It was pointed out that Ordinance 18210 in effect had rezoned the Callen and Weed properties but that the Joe Keuffler property would need to be deleted inasmuch as it was arbitrarily added without his signatory consent. Mr. Frank Zanatta had signed the driginal petition but wanted his zoning unchanged when he became aware of restrictions which would be imposed upon his property. Mr. Callen, Mr. [geed, and Martin E. Evans for St. Mathews Lutheran Church had petitioned for rezone and correction of the Ordinance per understanding from prior Council discussion of the matter on 11-9-64, and properties thereby included would be lots 5, 6 and 59. The Commission had denied the request which in effect would be for St. Mathews Church, the others being rezoned,and letter was read appealing the decision. Upon inquiry, City Attorney Shellan advised that the action would have to be taken Nunc pro tune - dated retroactive to time original action was taken - so as not to require amending the recently adopted land use map and that accordingly the properties will contij-"ue to function as a non-conforming use of B-Leven in the event of adopting a new land use map. After further discussion regarding opinions of where the B-1 zoning should be extended, recent development of the area with Multiple and single family dwelling projects, and possible courses of action to be taken, it was moved by Morris and seconded by Delaurenti, to close -the hearing. The motion carried. Moved by Hulse, seconded by Dahlquist that Ordinance No. 1840 be repealed. Dis- cussion revealed that the intent of purpose would not be accomplished by this action and City Attorney Shellan advised the Ordinance should be amended as repealing would kill it completely and if property owners have believed -their property zoned B-1 for the past 42 years the only thing to do at this time is to act Nunc pro tune and go back on the grounds that the description was incorrect and should be corrected, the amending ordinance if adopted would then allow continued B-1 non-conforming use. Hulse, with consent of second withdrew the motion and it was subsequently moved by Morris, seconded by Dahlquist to amend Ordinance 1840 for the purpose of correctinb the legal description of the properties limiting same to properties legally petitioned -therefor. Inquiry followed as to whether this then would include the St. Mathew Church NEW property and as some doubt was expressed Dahlquist withdrew her second to the motion and Mayor Custer ruled that the motion was lost for lack of second. Moved by Garrett, seconded by Perry that Ordinance No. 1840 he amended to include property that was legally included in the original rezone. The- Clerk read the legal description and it was moved by Dahlquist, seconded by Pederson to include lot 5. Councilman Hulse stated that since the property owners -thought they had a legal re'7one in 1960, in all fairness that property should be included but that inasmuch as the B-1 zoning is contrary to the land use map he did not think it should be extended to add to the non-conforming use area. Question was called and upon dissenting voice vote and rule by the Chair that the amendment tb�:the•.mdtion iiaas carried, roll call vote was requested as required and resulted as follows: Aye: Poli, Schellert, Dahlquist, Gianini and Pedersen. No: Hulse, Garrett, Perry, Delaurenti and Morris. Mayor Custer cast an aye vote carrying the amendment. Garrett inquired of the Planning Director and City Attorney whether this constitutes spot zoning and received affirmative reply and it was pointed out that spot zoning exists presently and will eventually as well. Councilman Hulse stated the land use map should be used to determine whether zoning is good for the City and the opinion of the Planning Commission considered for systematic employment thereof. It was pointed out that no protests from residents of the area had been made. Whether the Church property owners thought their zoning is forB-1 was questioned. Moved by Pedersen that vote be taken on thependng. motion. Dahlquist seconded the motion and upon carry, it was pointed out that if voted down they could start all over. The Mayor, upon dissenting voice vote ruled that the motionas amended carried. Roll call was requested as required and resulted as follows: Lye: Dahlquist, Gianini, Pedersen and Delaurenti. No: Poli, Hulse, SchellertGarrett, Perry and Morris. Six no votes and four aye votes were cast and the motion lost. After inquiry regarding why church property was left out of the original rezone it was moved by Schellert, seconded by Dahlquist, that Ordinance 1840 be amended to show legal descriptions of Lots 5, 6 and Tax lot 59 for rezone -to B-1. Mayor Custer pointed out that Lot 5 is the Church property, Lot 6 Callen property and Lot 59 the Saeed property. Mr. Garrett inquired as to what difference this motion is from his and what the end result would be if different and it was pointed out that it was felt his motion would include the Kueffler and Zanatta properties. Mr. Shellan was requested to clarify the intent of the motion and suggest a proper motion. -2- Minutes of the Renton City Council Meeting 12-21-64 HEARING: Fred Callen et al (coni.) Mr. Shellan stated the question to be whether the church possibly knew of the rezone in 1960 and was willing -to go along but inadvertently omitted, if so and they were willing to so indicate to the City then Ordinance 1340 might be amended and dated back to 1960 as no new petition could be cnnsidered in view of the comprehensive land use map and it would be in conflict. So, if some indication from the church night evidenced action could be taken accordingly. The Clerk re-read the letter appealing for the rezone signed by the Church representative, Mr. Callen and Mr. Weed and Mr. Jensen advised that the former Minister, Rev. Marr, had indicated their desire to put a nursing home on the church property, dependent upon the pact that the property was zoned for Business and although i-t was unknown why, in -the final analysis it was not zoned, this might reflect that they did consider it %o be B-1. It being established that the original petition was thought to include the church property, question on the pending motion to amend Ordinance 1840 to correct the legal description and include Lots 5, 6 and Tax Lot 59 in the B-1 zoning, was called for and subsequently carried.

Attorney Shellan recalled his explanation at previous discussions and recommendation that the architectural services be limited to the construction. It was pointed out that suitable supply houses could be found who can make connections and provide fixtures. Councilman Pedersen recommended -chat- the matter of the Contract be brought before the Council at this time and the Chair advised a proper introduction would be reoognized at this time .

Councilman Schellert inquired whether the motion included Addendum ##1 and Councilman Garrett advised his intent was to include -t-he contract as mailed to everyone. Councilman Pedersen inquired of City Attorney Shellan as to whom is responsible for the calling of bids and awarding of the contract for the construction of the library. City Attorney Shellan advised of the understanding between the Library Board and Council that all matters and approval of specifications, plans, bids and any changes involving money will have to have prior approval of the City Council, the opening of the bids will be done at the regular business meeting of the Council with the Library Board present and the bid call will undoubtedly be referred to the Committee of the Council. The Architects, Library Board and Council will have to approve the bid award and the Library Board, Mayor and. City Clerk will have to sign the contr_^ct. Councilman Pedersen stated there should be a definite understanding as to who calls for bids. Mr. Shellan stated this to be a matter between the City Council and Library Board, the architects being hired as professional persons to mow perform professional services under the contract including drawings and specifications for information for the bids among others. Councilman Pedersen pointed out sections of the contract not clearly defined and 13 which provides for additional remuneration for copies of specifications required over and above -those to be furnished under terms of the agreement and no specific number being stated. it was pointed out that the number required would not be determined at this point and that in any contract such as this extra copies are additional. Councilman Garrett advised he had made the motion in order to allow anyone to recommend any changes and amendment was in order as desired. Upon inquiry as to number of specs to. be required, City Engineer Gilson advised that each prospective bidder would need one however if the architects .supply a reproducible the City could furnish any additional it might need. Pedersen proposed an amendment that the architects specify how many copies of the specifications they are going to provide which was not seconded nor recognized by the Chair as a motion. Question was called for on the pending motion . The motion carried. The Mayor called for further comment for clarification in order -that there will be no future misunderstanding. Councilman Schellert pointed out that the City will be spending more than $385,000 and quoted section of the contract wherein the City shall provide necessary, information regarding soil conditions , and stated that the Engineering Department has neither staff nor equipment to handle soil condition and a firm will very likely have .to be hired to provide such ,information under terms of the contract. Councilman Pedersen did not feel the contract was a binding one from his past experiences. It was further pointed out that the matter had been reviewed in Committee of the Whole last Thursday and the contract amended and .adjusted to a satisfactory point at that time, including a termination clause and it was felt the City was protected in all _items. It was suggested that the Library Board be advised that any plans or suggested changes be presented -to Council prior to action and it was pointed out that the Property Committee would be submitting any of the plans to the council and as a matter of form any addi- tional expenses would have to 'be by permission of council authorization.

Councilman Perry stated the public in voting the issue had made decision as to its spanning the river as proposed.

HEARING: Renton Concrete Products appeal of Planning Commission and Council decisions relative to use of property under existing zoning ordinance. Mayor Custer explained that the appeal was not on a request for a variance, rezone or such but a question of interpretations of the ordinance as they relate to L-1 and H-1 zoning and the hearing was declared open. It was pointed out that the hearing was not tc conducted on any action taken previously but simply on the statement of policy based up a the existing ordinance interpretations. Communications which had not been previously submitted were read at this time and included letter from Garvin, Ashley & Foster, William H. Ellis, Jr., on behalf of Mr. Ewing Stringfellow, owner of property at 627 Whitworth Lane, wherein it was concluded that the Planning Commission finding that the proposed construction does not meet with the zoning requirement was sustained by vote of the Council at its meeting of 12-14-64, and that the result is that no further work on the proposed construction will be allowed. It was requested that reply be given as to whether these conclusions are correct and that -the parties be notified if further consideration of the matter is to be given. -1- 103 Minutes of the Renton City Council Meeting 12-28-64 HEARING: Renton Concrete Products Appeal (Cont.) A letter read from the Renton Village Company expressed concern over the batching plant construction upon observing construction activities at the site and requested to be notified of date of hearing. A letter from Albert L. Cooper, M.D., dated 12-22-64, expressed disturbed concern regarding the batching plant construction near 7th and Rainier Avenue and protested such construction inasmuch as the noise and dust would prohibit development of business which has been under consideration for some time,on either side of the subject property. am A Petition containing seventeen signatures of-property owners in the vicinity of the Renton Concrete Products plant expressed objection to any change in the City administration's policy which would allow for construction of a concrete aggregate batching plant at this location. It was felt that the Ordinance relating to L-1 zoning has been clearly interpreted, that the existing use is non-conforming and it has been the City's policy not to extend such use which installation would be detrimental to the area because of the heavy industrial character and nuisance factors inherent in a cement plant. It was asked that the appeal be denied. Audience comment was invited at this time. Mr. Roger Lewis, Attorney, addressed the assembly on behalf of Renton Concrete Products, presenting to each Council Member and Mayor Custer, by way of introduction and for complete information, a 15 page brief containing the nature of the appeal, chronology of events, list of exhibits and exhibits and the appeal. Mr. Lewis advised he would answer any inquiries he could and that Mr. Adams and several other interested persons were present with factual information which he might not have. Pictures were presented of the concrete products site and Mr. Lewis stated that the factors in the communications read by the Clerk were not exactly to be of matter as the hearing was to be primarily a matter of interpretation of what is allowed under L-1 as prescribed in the Renton Code of Ordinances, however, as evidenced in the photos, there is already in existence a concrete batching plant of the physical type proposed to be constructed and none of the protests specified that there is now a nuisance, dust nor other factors mentioned from the present operation. The present facility was described along with its surroundings which include a used car lot and wrecking yard, railroad line and other similar types of. usages, and is several hundred n.r feet from any retail establishment. In September an application was made for a Permit to build a 5 ft. fence and construct the batching plant which application was accepted and a permit issued on September 28. Certain work was performed under this permit and upon complaint,and investigation by the City,stop work order was issued, Planning Commission recommendation requested and the Company advised that the stop work order would be lifted. They proceeded to sand blast preparatory to painting the equipment and batch plant tower now present at the site. A subsequent stop work order was issued and the Company requested to apply for a special permit or variance, the lifting of stop work order being effective only as to the foundation under. construction. Upon review of the matter by Renton Concrete Products, Western Sand and Gravel and Attorney Lewis, it was concluded that the batching plant, as proposed, was an allowable use under L-1 zoning and a special permit or variance would not be a necessary condition and that a renewed demand for lifting of the Stop Work Order on the original permit or issuance of a new permit was to be submitted to the City. Subsequent Planning Commission determination that the batching plant as proposed with limitations was not an allowable use under L-1 and the administration and Council concurred that the Stop Work order not be lifted. It was pointed out that the construction would not exceed the 35 ft. height limit nor operate with larger than 5 horsepower motor and would in fact comply with the ordinance which allows such uses as automobile manufacturing and wineries and distilleries which have an offensive odor and it was emphasized that if a proper interpretation were made and a proper evaluation the construction as requested in the S -ptember 28th Permit Application should be allowed. It was felt that the Planning Commission recommendation was based upon future planning and not as L-1 exists in the presently codified ordinance. Mr. Robert Wing, with Renton Village Company whose main office is located in the Arcade Building in Seattle, displayed an aerial photo of the area in the general vicinity and surrounding the Renton Concrete Products Company site and the acreage to the South now under development (234 acres). The Council was requested, in its determination of interpretation as to what is permitted under L-1 and H-1 under the Code,to consider the-*- concern- of the developer and his tenants sstn the effects a major concrete batching plant in such close proximity might have, especially in the summer when the prevailing winds would carry the dust south to the development and into the windows of the Renton Inn Hotel, which was outlined on the photo. It was recognized that the plant has been in operation but has been used for production of bricks,falling within the L-1 limitations and it was pointed out that the proposed plant represents a major expansion changing the dlaracter of the operation which effects as anticipated are cause for concern. -2- 104 Minutes of the Renton City Council Meeting 12-28-64 HEARING: Renton Concrete Products Appeal Mr. John Sylvester of Lycette, Diamond & Sylvester Law Offices, on behalf of Mr. Diambri and Mr. Frank Bonnell, called attention to written protest to the proposed construction and again affirmed their protest to the project, upholding the interpreta- tion rendered by the City that this is an improper use under L-1 zoning. It was maint^r^?' that the Council should heed advice of its professional planning staff on the matter. Mr. Lewis stated that with the planned facilities all types of dust would be stifled and that if wineries and distilleries were allowed the concrete products plant would present no problem of odor and felt they were in compliance with L-1 zoning under the existing ordinance. Inquiry was made as to whether qualifications relative to the 5 H.P.M. were to be met and Mr. Lewis affirmed same stating they were subject to abatement as violating the permit otherwise. Mr. Paul Smith of Western Sand and Gravel stated that in Tukwila and Kent a batching plant is allowed as a use under L-1 zoning. Mr. Charles Pausheck of Renton Sand and Gravel explained the filtering system which would eliminate any dust problem, and upon further inquiry advised that the present facilities are using a 7.5 motor and that the business has been operating as a non-conforming use since it was there when the zoning was effected. Anticipated development of a milk bottling plant in the area and effects thereupon which the concrete batching plant might have were discussed. Mr. Diambri pointed out that the trucks hauling the gravel were also to be considered which would be numerous in any large operation of this type.

This being the date set, the Hearing was declared open. The Clerk reported no written communications to be reported and audience continent was invited. Mr. Wheeler introduced Mr. Stanford Bean who displayed a drawing of the proposed addition to the Seattle Sporting Goods Store and advised of just completing a ten year lease contract and of being in the process of negotiating a renewal i?ith Mr. Wheeler. This 16 x 40 -••» addition would allow room to carry on Marina operations deemed to be vital in sustaining -their business. They planned -to remove two of tite three carports in the front and maintain one to take care of small wooden boats tha t mush be kept out of the rain, in effect actually allowing more parking than at present. It was pointed out that parking has been provided for ten years and that the firm should be allowed the variance and not be -compared with those business" wlto are unable to provide parking of any kind. It was felt, in keeping pace with the economic growth and to keep the business healthy, that the variance was in order and -chat they have ample parking to accommodate their customers. -1- S Minutes of the Renton City Council (cont.) 1-18-65 HEARING: Wheeler Appeal Councilman Garrett inquired if parking comprised -the reason the variance was necessary. Morris inquired whether the request of Mr. Bean was identical to the one made to the Planning Commission. Perry inquired whether they had enough parking for the size of the building . Mr. Jensen advised that parking was the reason the variance was needed, that the request was the same and that the buildin- was a two story buildin4 and the required parking for two floors or the 10,600 sq. ft. was about 22 spaces. Mr. Bean stated that they should not be judged according to -chose businesses who do not have any parking provisions and that the top floor is not customer used but only about 4300 ft. of space is in use for this purpose. It was stated that the ordinance is applicable to overall floor area and that the addition would require even more parking. It was pointed out "chat the new proposal would allow four more spaces than are now available and that it was adequate for their customers. The Planning Commission recommendation was read upon request which directed removal of boat display from the area and either (a) pay into the off-street parking fund as required by ordinance or (b) enter into agreement to participate in any L.I.D. for parking facilities benefitting the property to be, proposed within ten years. Mr. Bean stated that the business could not stand a parking assessment and that they have provided parking for many years and should not have to pay such fee. Mr. ',?heeler, upon inquiry, advised that he would not agree to sign apy proposal agreement t o guarantee thereby that he would not protest something he did not know a thin; about. Planning Director Jensen advised of anticipated L.I.D. and that the parties now were allowing assumption of moral obligation to participate in the future planning by giving consent at present. This property in future planning is one proposed to be covered entirely by buildings with no parking in the area at all. It was stated by Mr. Wheeler that they were very 00 interested in strengthening and solidification of -the downtown business district and in any circumstance will do their share in making -chat possible but would not bind � themselves to something this remote. They will always do their part but are requesting w a straight out variance without any strings. The present parking operation was a non-conforming use upon institution of the new parkin- policy and any action would v Ll extend such use if given favor. After further discussion, it was moved by Morris and ?- U) seconded by Poli, to continue the hearing for one week. After discussion and dissertin < PJ voice vote which the Chairman ruled as a no majority,roll call was requested and result, f -- as follows: Aye: P©Lid `{ulse, Schellert, Garrett and Morris. No: Dahlquist, Perm, Gianini, Delaurenti,kde,Q5'.. "payor Custer cast a negative vote and the motion was declarwa lost. Moved by Dahlquist, seconded by Perry, that the Hearing be closed. Carried. The hearing was declared closed. Moved by Garrett, seconded by Gianini, that the Variance be granted and all space except what is covered by the proposed addition remain for use as parking space. This motien eliminates all of the parking canopies. The r ur.bee of parking stalls according to Mr. Bean, would be 16 in this event. The motion carried. Councilman Schellert suggested revision of the anticipated agreement which no one wishes to accept, or drafting of a new one . Mr. Jensen advised that with the granting of variances at this time the non-protest agreement was requested and at a future time with actual adoption of plans,the specifications for another agreement will allow Mr. Shellan to draw a definite L:I.D. proposal,. ., COMMUNICATIONS: A letter from City Engineer Wilson submitted and recommended for payment final construction costs on Sanitary Sewer L.I.D. 252, payable to General Pipe Line Con- struction Company which work was completed January 12th and accepted by the Engineering Department on January 15th.

Question has been raised regarding longevity to be received by permanent, part-time employees, those persons working on a permanent basis but less than eight hours per day. Intent of the Council was requested as to determination whether such employees are to be included and if so on what pay basis, as the budget makes no reference thereto. Referral to the Committee of the Whole was recommended. ?loved by Delaurenti, seconded by Tulse, to refer the matter to the Committee of The Whole for .report back. Carried. A letter read from Mayor Custer reported filin,; of annexation petition containing signatures of approximately 200 residents of that portion of Kennydale which is now completely surrounded by the boundaries of Renton. There is .a Senate Bill pending before the 1965 Legislature affecting annexation methods dnd procedures but our petitions will be processed at this time and in the usual manner. Mayor Custer expressed his thanks for the exceptional effort of those who helped in circulating the petitions and specifically Mrs. Grace Fisher. Moved by Hulse, seconded by Schellert, to refer the Petitions to the City Engineer for verification of signatures and validation of the petition. City Clerk Nelson reported 214 signatures, that the letter of intent had been submitted on 4-20-64,and the City Engineer verified 11.77% of ownership in value according to assessed valuation.

Moved by Poli, seconded by Pedersen, to refer the matter as recommended. Carried. A letter from Mayor Custer with reference to -the widening of 2nd Avenue advised that recent discussions with Mr. Prahl, State Highway Director, and Highway Commissioner Cowell have indicated little likelihood that the State will provide any financial aid toward this improvement and unless the legislature alters its budget to include funds the City must be prepared to fund the entire cost. Discussion ensued and Councilman Garrett informed the Council that the Highway Department has not been given evidence adequate to substantiate that the problem of 2nd Avenue is a Highway problem and not a local problem. It was pointed out that the 701 plan rates this among priority improvements but the State has not acknowledged it to be other than a local problem. The matter was referred to the Engineering Department for study when the widening proposal was made and this is its present status. COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS: Councilman Pedersen, Chairman of the Committee of the i-thole, submitted his report which was read by the Clerk as follows: 1. Recommended that the Nm. P. Harper & Son letter offering financial and advisory services on city bonds be set aside until such services might be needed. Moved by Perry, seconded by Poli, to concur in the recommendation.

Moved by Perry, seconded by Hulse, to concur in -the recommendation. Discussion ensued regarding the utilization of Metro to residents outside the corporate limits of Renton and it was moved by Hulse, seconded by Schellert, to amend the motion to stipulate that late-comers privilege would be allowed only upon annexation of the property. City Attorney Shellan advised it was doubtful that the City could impose such conditions being merely a collection agent. It was pointed out that the rate differential for service to outside properties might be a factor favorable for use in annexation recommendations. Mr. Shellan stated -the school district could impose such conditions. Vote on the amendment was taken and the noes prevailed failing the amendment. The original motion was voted upon and carried concurring in the Committee recommendation. -4- 126 Minutes of the Renton City Council Meeting 1-18-65 COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS: (cont.) OLD BUSINESS: Moved by Poli, seconded by Dahlquist, to refer the matter of rates for sewer services to properties located outside the city to the Sanitation Committee. Carried. �... . Recommended that the Mayor be authorized to purchase twelve additional refuse containers to serve the downtown area. The sum of $1,000.00 was the approximate amount of the cost. Moved by Morris, seconded by Dahlquist, to concur in the recommendation subject to availability of funds. Carried. Councilman Garrett submitted a letter, directed to him, from C. G. Prahl, Director of Highways, State Highway Commission, advising of meeting held regarding the North Renton Interchange at which meeting it was determined that completion of a traffic analysis now in progress would be necessary before the plan for the inter- change could be finalized, particularly with regard to the number of lanes to be provided. The analysis was to have been completed within a week. Inasmuch as there seemed to have been question during said meetin" as to who proposed the six lanes on the Renton-financed leg of the interchange, an excerpt from a letter written by City Engineer Milson under date of 9-24-64 was quoted wherein the need for six lanes was stipulated with anticipation that the City would construct four lanes in the initial construction with provisions for six lanes later upon • the availability of funds. The -traffic analysis now in progress is being conducted since the Bureau of Public Roads insists that the results of the Puget Sound Regional Transportation Study be used in determining future traffic estimates for new construction in the Puget Sound area. Mr. Prahl advised he would report future developments. NEN BUSINESS: Moved by Hulse, seconded by Schellert, that Vouchers No. 7625 through 7718, having been previously approved by the Auditing and Accounting Committee, be approved for payment at this time. Carried. Councilwoman Dahlquist announced a meeting of the Legislative Committee on Tuesday, January 19th at 9: 00 a.m. Councilman Perry announced a meeting of the Public Relations Committee on Monday, January 25th at 7:00 p.m. Mayor Custer invited audience comment at this time and Mr. Charles Shane inquired of City Attorney Shellan whether a Franchise is needed for City Light to serve the City. Mr. Shellan advised that if -the operations within the City require crossing over any public right-of-way a Franchise for permit or contract is needed. If the facility is confined strictly to private property than only a business license is required. Mr. Shane inquired whether conditions could be imposed by the city in event the original plattor in granting the xight-of-ways did not impose them. Mr. Shellan replied that very likely such utilities did not exist but only the telegraph when such land grants were effected and the matter of granting franchises is a matter of common law, of England as well as the U.S. If facility involves use of property, the City holds the trust by said law and may if it wishes give a franchise or con- tract to use the public facility. Mr. Shane recalled that no rate decrease by P.S.P.L. has been made for a year and he felt that City Light should be allowed to serve Ren- ton shopping center as the owner wanted but that like gambling the Council was not doing anything about it. As there was no further business to come before the Council and no further discussion -from the floor, it was moved by Morris, seconded by Perry, to adjourn. Carried. The meeting was adjourned at 9:40 p.m. ,.,,. 12'7 Vouchers of December 31, 1964 Minutes of January 18, 1965 City of Renton Vouchers having been previously approved by the accounting and Auditing Committee, were submitted for Council approval as follows: VOUCHER NU,1BER PAYEE AMOUNT CURRENT FUND 7625 Addressograph-Ilulti.graph Corp. 48.35 7626 B & B Auto Parts 72.91 7627 Burnrite Oil Company 381.02 7628 Cochran Hardware 16.82 �- 7629 Dictaphone Corporation 13.62 7630 Diesel Oil Sales 145.77 7631 Hickok Sport Shop 2.08 7632 Keller Supply Company 59.70 7633 Market Basket ##3 36.30 7634 Market Basket #5 9.15 7635 Motorola C & E 226.30 7636 Overall Cleaning & Supply Co. 51.31 7637 Pacific Auto Supply 23.16 7638 Paulson Office Supply 249.39 7639 Pioneer Printery 290,43 7640 Record Office Supply 38,22 7641 Reiman auto Parts 134.68 7642 Renton Enterprise 163.95 7643 Renton Hardware a Furniture Co. 28.12 7644 Seattle Art & Photo Supply Inc. 71.87 7645 Seattle Lumber Company 160.72 7646 Service Laundry & Dry Cleaners 96.78 7647 Standard Oil Company 7.74 7648 State Treasurer, Dept. of Highway 876.09 7649 Thermo-Fax Sales 206.96 7650 M.

A letter from City Attorney Shellan called attention to a Supreme Court decision of 2-19-65 entitled "State ex rel. Longview Fire Fighters Union, Local 828, I.A.F.F. v. City of Longview". The Longview firemen had brought action seeking a writ of mandamus to compel the City of Longview to levy two mills for the budget year 1964 and place the revenue therefrom in the Firemen's Pension Fund, contending that unless the fund received such revenue it would not be actuarially sound. The trial as well as the Supreme Court, held that the City has discretionary power to levy the second mill and even though no actuary report is filed the City may omit the additional mill if it finds the millage is not needed to meet estimated demands for the ensuing budget year. The Court also determined that the Legislature has not provided that the fund be actuarially sound within a given time or at all, giving the City Council the authority to review annually the status of the estimated"demands and requirements" of the act and to make the levies needed. The Court found that the City Council of Longview had fully performed this duty. A letter from Robert Corwin and Muriel H. Fulwiler, Committee for Lower Power Rates, requested that the people in the Renton area be informed of how much revenue has been received from the utility companies from the city levy, paid by the people, since it was imposed and whether the tax is still necessary. Also requested were names of funds to which the monies had been allocated, how they were spent and question was raised IT should this tax have been removed or decreased by the Council". Mayor Custer inquired whether the interested parties present would prefer to have the questions answered at this time. Mr. Corwin stated they would wait to see if a report was made under item 8, Council Committee Reports,prior to his requesting discussion. Mayor Custer called attention to the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 (Anti-Poverty Legislation) and to his membership on the Seattle-King County Economic Board, in a letter which submitted sample Ordinance recently passed by the Seattle City Council defining intent of the City to cooperate in the program. It was requested that Council consider like legislation to be enacted for Renton in order that its willingness in providing an area-wide program to combat poverty might be indicated. Upon passage of enabling legislation by the Legislature King County will be able to fully participate under the ""provisions of the Act. Moved by Hulse, seconded by Perry,to concur in the program with referral to the Law and Ordinance Committee. Carried.

PROCLAMATION: 1 Proclamation honoring All-American Football Player Clarence Williams was read wherein the Mayor and City Council noted with pride the achievements of this Renton lad whose outstanding athletic performances have commanded national recognition, reflecting credit not only upon himself but on the City of Renton as well. March 27, 1965 was proclaimed "Clarence Williams" day in Renton with a Jr. Chamber of Commerce sponsored parade and program to commence at 10:00 a.m. All citizens are invited to attend and take this opportunity to pay tribute to Mr. Williams in recognition of his fine athletic record and to express hope and best wishes for success in those endeavors in which he is about to engage. Mayor Custer introduced Ron Brannon, Jr. Chamber of Commerce President, and members of the Committee to honor Clarence Williams,Dale Traylor, Candidate for State Presidency, Dale Pastore, and Vern Wik. Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Williams, Sr. were introduced at this time and presented with the Proclamation by Mayor Custer who informed them that a Placque was being designed for presentation later. The proud parents were welcomed with resounding applause accepting the honor on behalf o.�: their son Clarence. AUDIENCE COMMENTS: Due to the capacity crowd and the number of persons standing in the lobby, Mayor Custer invited audience remarks at this time to allow persons to address the Council and to leave prior to the regular order of business if they so desired. Residents from Sierra Heights and Rcether DouT.s areas as well as others served by the City of Renton Water system protested the recent rate increase and lower quantity of water as they felt most of the improvements were to be inside the City and not to their benefit. Included in the protestors were Bob Hankemeier, 10004 - 126th Ave. S.E., Merwin Weberg .13534 - 140th Ave. S.E., Peter Presley, 10012 - 126th Ave. S.E., Dale Beeman, 13825 - d 101st S.E. , Lynn D. Hall, 13219 S.E. 138th Street who expressed opinions that 505y, over `► rates inside the City were excessive and that new mains were not needed in their areas. w \ Inquiry was made as what course of action the City might take if the bills were not paid. W. , Mr. E. L. Bennett protested the 50% increase and extra rate paid because he has a tenant. Mrs. Eleanor Crock, 10402 - 132nd S.E. stated that in her area and Mr. Bennetts a $2.00 p 0 fee had been applied about 12 or 13 years ago which was supposed to be removed when t he N main was paid for and it was still being imposed besides this 50% increase. Mr. Smith, w W and Mrs. Fleming stated prior water linEsand all assets were turned over to the City and ix they did not feel they should pay such rates when it did not cost the City for their p Z lines. Mayor Custer stated this should be checked if this were the 84th Water District U referred to as these customers were to pay inside rates for ^0 year period according to acquisition agreement. Mr. Thomas Meeker, 13002 S.E. 104th Street, Mr. Fred Bartlett and Mr. Sam Owen added protest to the rate as compared to cu. ft. of water minimum allowed. During discussion, publication dates of the Ordinances imposing the rates was recalled along with reminder that all Budget Hearing sessions are public meetings. Mayor Custer reported that as a result of survey conducted by the Public Administration Service and advice of Bonding Council, the City wasconvinced that in order to finance repayment of revenue bonds, needed to provide better service to all customers (some lines are so deteriorated they require early attention to eliminate corosion leakage and resulting loss of water pressure) it was deemed necessary that the rates be raised as bonds cannot be readily sold unless a sound program with solvent backing can be guaranteed and rates and cu. in, of water were suggested at $3.50 for 900 cu, ft, The rate of $3..00 for the 900 cu . ft was 169 Minutes of the Renton City Council. Meeting 3-8-65 AUDIENCE COMMENTS: Water rate protests (cont.) Mayor_ Custer stated that he feels it only just that benefit be derived by those living inside .the city and he was not recommending that the rates be lowered inasmuch as the City's Cost Accounting system is operated on the basis of double rate schedules for non-residents which is the policy of many cities. It was conjectured that non-residents have no choice of water service when they purchase their homes and perhaps the city was pressing annexation. The Mayor pointed out the possibility that services of Water District 90 might be contracted at the rate of $8.00 per month and that annexation had not been a factor considered in the rate. increase but was also a good possibility for rate reduction, ' Mr. Jack Downing, 12811 S.E. 102nd Street, stated. that non-residents Have no vote for Councilmen and yet the Council establishes their rates which in his opinion was taxation without representation and inquired whether the Washington Transportation and . Utility Commission has any .jurisdiction over the rates. City Attorney Shellan replied that the agency mentioned does not have jurisdiction in this case and in answer to an inquiry regarding what action might be taken if bills are not paid, Mr. Shellan advised that State Law allows a Municipal Corporation to furnish water to consumers outside the city limits on such terms and rates as the council may determine, at its discretion and that the city may shut off the water in event bills are not paid. Various inquiries and discussions regarding expenditures made from the fund followAd., also . regarding costs involved to operate the complete water works system for the city, including development of the water supply at the dam site, reservoirs and pumps equalizing water pressures which result in general benefit to all consumers and summery of costs from production to delivery, after survey of which the consultants had determined the rate increase to be necessary. It was subsequently moved by Dahlquist, seconded by Garrett, to refer the matter to the Fire and Water Committee to study the possibility of increasing cubic measure of water for the rate being paid.

This area contains approximately 121 acres and has a .total assessed value of $89,450. The Mayor declared the preliminary meeting open. and invited comments from the audience. There being no discussion', it was moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Gianini, that the preliminary meeting be closed. 'Councilman.Garrett suggested it might be advisable to continue the meeting to accomplish the purposes for which this preliminary meeting was called. At this time Mr. I. J. Brodell introduced himself and stated that he was a property owner in this area and was in favor of this annexation. Councilman Hulse inquired of Mr. Brodell if these property owners were willing to accept their pro-rata share of the City's pre-existing bonded indebtedness. Mr. Brodell replied that he felt they would be, but that he was not in a position to obligate the rest of the property owners and inquired if this could be left to the discretion of the individuals at the time the petition is circulated. Mayor Custer advised that the petition should contain the statement of willingness to accept their pro-rata share of the City's pre-exisiting bonded indebtedness. Inquiries were made from the audience- as to ,... whether the area proposed .for annexation should comprise one continuous piece of property and the effect.;on.the proposed annexation of properties divided by the river. It was pointed out that this would not present a problem as the requirement in this,-:connection was only that the area be contiguous to the City Limits and property descriptions usually ran to the center of the river. Vote on the pending motion carried. Moved by Hulse, seconded by Schellert, to accept the Letter of Intent and that the people be authorized to circulate the petition which should include a statement that the petitioners are willing to accept their pro-rata share of the City's pre existing bonded indebtedness.

The Mayor declared the hearing on this matter open for discussion and called for the wish of ' the Council. A question was posed from the audience as to the reason for the wording, "Retail-Commercial." For clarification the Mayor pointed out that this hearing covers amendments to the land use map and does not concern zoning. It was again asked that the wording "Retail-Commercial" be clarified. Councilman Perry stated that this question had been asked in committee meeting and they had been advised it would cover grocery stores, service stations and similar operation. Councilman Hulse pointed out that this was. a very limited business area and that it should not spread into the residential area and asked for comments from Mr. James Denzer of the Planning Commission. Mr. Denzer stated the reason fev this proposed amendment was to correct an error in the Land Use Map and the intent of the Planning Commission was for a B-1 -2- sss Minutes of the Renton City Council Meeting (cont.) 3-22-65 HEARINGS: (cont.) classification, which would coincide with present usage. An unidentified visitor in the audience stated that in this area there were two service stations separated by unoccupied property which should carry the same zoning and expressed concern as to the Retail-Commercial designation specifically if this would allow a shopping center_ The Mayor answered it was his understanding that this would be permitted. At this time, various comments were forthcoming on whether to consider each proposed amendment individually, finalizing each action as presented, or withold action until conclusion of the hearing on all items. The Mayor felt the proper procedure should be to carry the hearing through to completion and Council then make their determination. The City Attorney reminded the Council this was one hearing.

After some discussion, it was moved by Poli, seconded by Hulse, that the hearing on this amendment to the land use mar covering property on the north side of Maple Valley Highway be closed. Carried. Garrett asked if this is a hearing on all amendments and the Mayor stated it is tl7c hearing on the Maple Valley area as read by the Clerk. Hulse requested clarification before proceeding. Garrett stated he understood that the hearing, would be held on each piece of property while the hearing is open and after each description is discussed, the hearing would be closed and action taken on each individual item. (Perry stated that when this was before Committee of the Whole I each item was discussed individually.) The method of hearing each item and closing to act thereon had been satisfactory in the Committee of the Whole and the same method could be used here. Perry requested the opinion of the City Attorney as to the legal method for conducting such a hearing. Mr. Shellan replied that this is not a legal problem, but rather a time problem, and that it should be determined how many people were present regarding these matters. It was moved by Garrett, seconded by Poli, that the Council concur in the Planning Commission recommendation that the Land Use Map be changed to reflect Retail- Commercial use of the area as described lying on the north side of the Maple Valley Highway. Carried. The Clerk then proceeded to the second amendment to the Comprehensive Plan Land Use rl Map, described as follows: RETAIL-COMMERCIAL USE: Area generally westerly of 132nd Avenue S.E. and Sunset Boulevard continuously to an area easterly of 138th Avenue S.E. on both sides of Sunset Boulevard to a depth of approximately 500 feet on each side, consistent with the standards for retail-commercial use districts. The Mayor declared the hearing open on this amendment and Councilman Garrett suggested that if there were no comments pro or con that the Clerk continue to the next item. At this time Mr. Dalpay, one of the property owners in this area, strongly urged the Council to approve this amendment. Mr. Mark Hokenson, another interested property owner, indicated that he was of the same opinion as Mr. Dalray. Mr. Halley Smilley, representing Friendly Investors who plan to develop a portion of this property, stated they are in favor of this proposed change in the land use map.

Moved !y Hulse, seconded by Schellert, to reconsider their previous action and tTTat Item (a) of the Planning Commission recommendation, namely the area 500' on each side of Sunset Highway from a point westerly of 132nd S.E. to easterly of 138th S.E. , be deleted. Discussion ensued as to the meaning of the terms retail-commercial use and strip zoning. Councilman Hulse inquired if the highway is meant to move traffic or to move people from one shopping center to another, and if the highway is lined with shopping centers, would this comprise strip zoning. Councilman Morris noted the original request was for 150' and was subsequently changed to 500' depth to take care of the problem of strip zoning. A vote was called for and the motion to reconsider and delete item (a) failed. At this time a clarification was made that all amendments have been approved and referred to the Law and Ordinance Committee. Moved Schellert to include item (b) of the Planning Commision recommendation. The City Clerk advised this could not be done as item (b) was not included in the hearing. The motion failed for lack of a second. Schellert asked the Clerk to read the description of property covered under item (b) of the Planning Commission recommendation, which was read as follows: Land �,.. lying between 3rd Place North, Factory Street and 3rd Avenue North. Councilman Pedersen stated that it was the feeling of the Council at the Committee of the Whole meeting that the property described in item (b) was to be reconsidered by the Planning Commission at their meeting of March 24th. Councilman Perry stated that the motion was made because it was felt that depending on how this hearing (Planning Commission) would go, this item might or might not be approved and that is why it was set aside. As a matter of clarification, the Mayor stated that the Council has now concurred in all items included in tonight's hearing, which would not include item (b) of the Planning Commission recommendation, and that the matter has been referred to the LAW AND ORDINANCE COMMITTEE.

(This contract would necessarily be on a year to year basis and would provide services in addition to those available by the Renton Fire Department.) -5- Minutes of the Renton City Council Meeting (cont.) 3-22-65 COMMUNICATIONS: (cont.)

The Mayor further commented that if the Council concurred in this proposal, a resolution would be prepared, the estimated cost for contractual services would be $9,000 per year, and that portion of Kennydale proposed for annexation would add approximately $30,000 in property taxes to the City's revenues.

A letter from Mayor Custer was read which referred to the work being done by the State Highway Department in the vicinity of So. 153rd near Longacres. It was noted that the City had strenuously objected to the placement of pillars along S. 153rd in that they would seriously hinder the traffic flow. The subsequent plan presented by the State did not, in the opinion of the City, alleviate this problem. The State has continued with construction and it, therefore, appears the City has recourse to legal proceedings in that the State has, in fact, damaged a City street and used same for State purposes without having first held a hearing and without having obtained permission from the City. This procedure is contrary to law and affords the City the possibility of redress through "inverse condemnation." The Mayor urged the Council's concurrence and authorization for the City Attorney to commence legal action as necessary to compel the State to correct the existing situation. Moved by Perry, seconded'by Poli, to concur in the recommendation of the Mayor. The motion carried.

Vote on the motion carried. Moved by Perry, seconded by Hulse, that the LAW AND ORDINANCE COMMITTEE draw up the resolution extending the retirement date of Chief Williams. Carried. The City Clerk called attention to Senate Bill 527, A New Financial Aid Proposal for Cities. The Clerk noted that one of the basic provisions of the bill would be that 6% of the revenues from the State Sales and Use Tax would be distributed on a per capita basis to cities and towns, and that cities would no longer have the right to levy a B & 0 tax which would be pre-empted by the State. Councilman Garrett mentioned that in discussion with Seattle Officials this would mean approximately $200,000 to the City of Seattle and Renton could expect a substantial increase in tax money received. COUNCIL CON24ITTEE REPORTS: OLD BUSINESS: Councilman Pedersen submitted the report of the Sanitation Committee wherein it was { recommended that the Renton School District be granted an easement on City Property in the vicinity of Cedar River and the Sewage Disposal Plant according to the recommendation of the City Engineer as shown in an accompanying diagram.

Moved by Perry, seconded by Poli, to concur in the recommendation of the Sanitation Committee Carried.

Councilman Pedersen stated that the Property Committee had been requested to investigate the possibility of recovering some money from the sewage disposal treatment plant and were authorized to secure an appraisal, and the following is the committee's recommendation: The committee recommends that the former Sewage Treatment Plant be declared surplus property and no longer of any use to the City, and that the City Engineer be requested to prepare and furnish a correct legal description to the LAW AND ORDINANCE COMMITTEE for drafting the Resolution. It was further recommended that the Property Committee be authorized to take the necessary steps to dispose of said property by the most beneficial terms to the City, either by negotiations or by public sale upon bids. Moved by Perry, seconded by Delaurenti, to concur in the recommendation of the Property Committee. Carried. Councilman Pedersen submitted the Property Committee Report, recommending the acceptance of the proposal from the A. B. Dick Company, for a duplicating machine, the total cost being $1,420.87, and that the matter be referred to the WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE for funding.

OLD BUSINESS: (cont.) Mr. Robert Huebner, of 10612 - 108th Avenue S,E. , introduced himself and stated that he was present with reference to Ordinance No. 2139, which had been passed by the Council last week, which contained an incorrect description and asked if this error could be corrected at this Council meeting. After some discussion on this matter the City Attorney advised that upon recwipt of the corrected description he would prepare an amendatory ordinance. Moved by Garrett, seconded by Hulse, that the matter be referred to the CITY ENGINEER to furnish the corrected description for an amendatory .... ordinance. It was moved by Perry, seconded by Dahlquist, to take a ten minute recess to take care of this matter, Carried.. Following the recess, roll call was taken with all council members present as previously listed. The previous motion was read and vote taken on the motion carried. It was noted here that this ordinance would be presented later in the meeting with other proposed ordinances and resolutions. Councilman Garrett submitted the Report of the Street and Alley Committee with its recommendations V:1 Parking Meters and the Restriction of Parking on Main Street, as follows: (1) Parking Meters , That the time limit on all one-hour Parking Meters be increased to a two-hour limit , Moved by Schellert, seconded by Pedersen, to concur in the recommendation of the Street and Alley Committee. Inquiry was made as to the cost to the City for this change and if new dials would be required. It was determined it would take two or three minutes for each change and new dials would not be required, the cost would be very nominal. Councilman Delaurenti stated that he would object if any expense at all is involved as the matter of the proposed removal of the meters is now before the Committee of the Whole and no money should be spent on these meters if there is a possibility they will be removed. Councilman Garrett stated this was an attempt to relieve the parking in the down town area, and that if it worked, it might change the minds of those desiring to have the meters removed, the cost being nominal it would be worth the try. Upon inquiry, the Clerk noted according to the 1964 Financial Report, there are 343 parking meters on the streets, and 82 located in the off-street parking lots, making a total of 425. .�. Vote on pending motion carried. Moved by Morris, seconded by Hulse, that the matter be referred to the LAW AND ORDINANCE COMMITTEE for drafting of an ordinance. Carried. (2) Restriction of Parking on Main Street during the P.M. peak , Due to the traffic congestion created within the Industrial area and as a measure to relieve this congestion, the Committee recommended that a "No Parking" restriction be imposed on Main Street from 2nd Avenue to 4th Avenue on the west side, and from Walla Walla to 4th Avenue on the east side during the hours of 3.30 P.M. to 5:30 P.M. , Monday thru Friday. Moved by Perry, seconded by Hulse, to concur in the recommendation of the Street and Alley' Committee. Councilman Garrett noted that the City Engineer's recommendation to the Committee was for a ban to be employed on Main Street and 3rd Avenue. However, it was the feeling of the committee that the ban on Main Street is more urgently needed and also would eliminate fewer parking spaces. The parking on 3rd Avenue would be considered at a later date. Concern was voiced as to where people would park if this restriction is imposed. At this time, the Assistant City Engineer, was asked to report on a survey conducted by the Engineering Department regarding the availability of parking in this area. Mr, Bennett stated the survey indicated that sufficient parking was provided in the off-street parking lots (82 spaces) , and that on the average, only two vehicles an hour were taking advantage of these lots. Councilman Schellert speaking in favor of this restriction, reminded the Council that this year's budget provided for street improvements which would increase the traffic in this area and this would make parking restriction mandatory.

Carried. Councilwoman Dahlquist reminded the Council of several hearings held in the past wherein interested parties presented numerous protests and at that time Council decided against this action. In her opinion it was unfair to adopt this ordinance now without another hearing to give those people an opportunity to be heard. Councilman Garrett replied that this earlier action had been referred to the Street and Alley Committee, the hearings conducted, and then further study was made resulting in the Committee's recommendation that this parking restriction should now be imposed. Councilman Poli indicated he understood this matter had been held in abeyance because it was felt that completion of the freeway would help alleviate the traffic congestion. Councilman Perry noted that this matter has been publicized suffiently in the past few weeks to afford people an ample opportunity to protest. It should be pointed out there are only a few business firms here and the City has provided off-street parking which is not being utilized. If this restriction is imposed, these people would have only another 100 feet to go to the off-street parking lots and the reduced congestion would off-set any inconvenience to these people. Councilman Hulse reminded the Council that since the original hearings, additional parking has been provided and this it is imperative that parking be eliminated during these hours. Upon request Mr. Bennett outlined the off-street parking areas on the map designated in red: Lot 1, 20 spaces; Lot 2, 21 spaces; and Lot 3, 41 spaces; with an additional 14 spaces to remain on the east side of Main Street. The green area indicated the parking which would be eliminated, a total of 37 spaces. It was further pointed out that this is a two-lane street carrying a traffic load of 15,000 cars per day and that numerous accidents occur in this area, which situation should be relieved by the restriction of parking, The restriction should not hinder normal business activities such as delivery service since only three or four trucks -10- 194 Minutes of the Renton City Council Meeting (cont.) 3-22-65 ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS: (cont.) were noted operating in this area. Taking into consideration the well being of the public and noting that sufficient off-street parking is provided for vehicles in this area, a vote was called for on the previous motion.

Blasick, 320 Mill Street, Renton; and Mr. Max Bagby, 22360 - 116th S.E. , Kent, were read expressing approval of the recent parking ban on Main Street. A letter from the Boeing Company, signed by Orval C. Scott, Director of Industrial Relations, e xpressed the Company's appreciation for two recent decisions which have resulted in remarkable improvement in the flow of peak-hour traffic through Renton; namely, the removal of parking on Main Street during peak traffic hours and the installation of a traffic signal at 4th North and Williams . -2- 199 Minutes of the Renton City Council Meeting (cont: ) 4-5-65 COMMUNICATIONS: (cont.) A petition was then read which contained the signatures of land owners and business owners on Main Street, protesting the recently imposed parking ban on Main Street for the following reasons: 1.. Timing is improper, in view of the impending opening of the freeway; 2. Additional study should be made for other by-passes; 3. Inevitable business loss to outlying centers, the big hazard to the core area; 4. This ban, as long as it continues, will further weaken the core area and reduce the chance of success of the 701 Program, There were nineteen signatures on the petition, beginning with Virgil Tuntland and ending with Zafira Azzola. Moved by Garrett, seconded by Pedersen, that these communications be referred to the COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE. Councilman Delaurenti noted there were several persons in the audience concerned in the matter, and they should be given an opportunity to be heard, It was requested that the Engineering Department report on the traffic count of the area. Mr. Wilson noted that the volume of traffic during half-hour intervals between 3:30 p.m. and 5:30 p,m.. on four different days from March 29th to April 2nd indicated an increase of 594 vehicles using this street during this two-hour period. This has helped not only to relieve congestion on Main Street but has also greatly reduced the congestion on Bronson Way, Williams Street, and Walla Walla Avenue. A study on the availability of parking indicated that only 63% was being utilized by Friday, April 2nd, It was concluded from this investigation that sufficient parking is available both on and off street during this two-hour period. Mr. Schomberg stated that he could not understand the Council's action in permitting this parking ban at this time, in view of the fact that last summer when this was originally planned, the Council had gone along with the request of the businessmen in this area and had not permitted this ban. Several Council members indicated that during the week they had made a personal observation of the area to determine how the removal of these parking spaces affected the flow of traffic with .�. the conclusion that there was less congestion and that the utilization of available parking spaces was far from capacity. It was felt that further studies and discussion should be held in the Committee of the Whole, with the interested property owners. At this time a vote called for on the above motion. carried. Mr. Hugh Carney, speaking on behalf of Mr. Umberto Barei, asked to be notified when the meeting will be held, in order to be present when the Committee met on this matter. During the discussion that followed, suggestions were made that one-way traffic be incorporated during the two-hour period, that the parking restriction should be for a lesser period of time, and that trains, not cars, created the traffic congestion. Attention was also directed to a drainage problem in the street, and the City Engineer and Street Commissioner pointed out that this project is scheduled for this year. An application submitted by Ace Novelty Co. , Inc. for a Retail Fireworks Stand License was read.

Carried: A letter from the Renton Civil Service Commission, requested that consideration be given for physical examinations for all members of the Renton Police Department and provide funds therefor at an approximate cost of $15,00 per person. Current Police Civil Service Rules call for a physical at least once a year, however, except for entrance physical examinations, no official medical examinations have been given to any member. The approximate total cost this year would be $485.00 as physical examinations were given the four new members on the Police Force.

A copy of the Government letter dated July 28, 1964 was attached to this communication and it was also noted tha a subsequent letter had been received from the Housing and Home Finance Agency dated April 1, 1965 requesting some answer on the part of the City. The City Attorney suggested the City should take action forthwith and advise the Government accordingly, and also, that the effected property owners be notified by the City Clerk, if this has not already been done by the City. Moved by Schellert, seconded by Hulse, to refer this matter to the PUBLIC RELATIONS COMMITTEE to report back. Carried. The Clerk read a copy of City Attorney Shellan's letter to Mrs. Bertha Shane regarding her alleged', claim for water damage. Reference was made to a letter written to Mrs. Shane, dated February 19, 1965 in which he had explained the City's position, and again in the subsequent letter he explained that the City legally cannot pay any claim unless such claim had been submitted in writing to the City within 90 days of the occurence of the alleged damage. The City's insurance carrier was furnished with all the information regarding this matter, and the carrier has on several occasions denied this claim, obviously on the ground that there is no legal liability on the part of the City. Mrs. Shane was advised that the only alternative would be for her to seek redress in the Courts by commencing an action against the City. A letter from the Association of Washington Cities was read regarding the Puget Sound Regional Transportation Study which is now nearing completion and noting that this Study is developing a comprehensive regionwide transportation plan. Even though this plan is being based on comprehensive formulations of future developments, the Study's financial participants have agreed that the Study is to be of a continuing nature so as to keep the plan up-to-date to adjust for unanticipated developments and to be of service to th governmental agencies within the region. In order to qualify for Federal-aid funds for street and highway construction after July 1, 1965, the Bureau of Public Roads, which administers the Federal-Aid Highway Act provisions, requires a written Memorandum of Understanding between the State and local governmental bodies to assure a complete awareness of the transportation planning process. It was pointed out that the Highway Department would be contacting the City soon regarding the adoption of this Memorandum, therefore a copy of the proposed memorandum was submitted with this communication for the City's study. It is felt by the Association that adoption of this Memorandum would be in the best interest of all cities. Moved by Trimm, seconded by Hulse, to refer this matter to the LAW AND ORDINANCE COMMITTEE.

This permit was granted under provisions of Ch. 86.16, RCW, on the 9th day of April, 1965, to the City of Renton to construct and maintain a bridge (80-foot clear span) and public library, in perpetuity in the SE4 of the NW4, Section 17, Township 23 N., Range 5 E . W. M. on Cedar River, which said works, structures and improvements are located within Cedar River Flood Control Zone No. 3, all in accordance with Application No. 3-119. Unless the work herein authorized, within the wetted perimeter, is commenced on or before the lst day of June, 1965, and completed on or before the lst day of October, 1965, or before such dates as may be specified by any extensions granted, this permit shall, without notice, become null and void.

A letter from the Renton Planning Commission was read wherein the Utilities Report, Renton Urban Area, was submitted. It was noted that in the development of a Comprehen- sive Plan for the Renton Urban Area it has been the goal of the Planning Commission and the Planning Department to bring under consideration and study as many factors, influential to the physical and economic growth of the. community, as possible. For this purpose, a utilities study has been made including all of the public and privately owned *90public utility systems available in the area. It is felt that this information can prove - to be a valuable guide in determining the guidelines for annexations, which will be 2 related to natural drainage and service areas for sewers, water, etc. A letter from the Planning Director was read by the Clerk in which it was noted that on January 15, 1959, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1729 rezoning to R-3 pro- perties owned by Roger and Lloyd Peterson and located on both sides of 12th Avenue North near the Renton Highlands shopping center. Subsequently, the R-3 zoning was removed in accordance with the provisions of the zoning ordinance at that time, which provided for reversal of zoning to its original status after one year if unused. A consideration in the original zoning had been the granting of right of way by quit claim deed for a portion of 12th Avenue North. This had not been provided for in the platting of the Renton Highlands. Due to some unexplained circumstance the deed to the street has been in the possession of the owners until this week. Upon review of this matter, the zoning map was corrected to reflect the' R-3 zoning as originally ranted and in consideration therefor, the quit claim deed for the street was released to the City. The deed has now been recorded and the Council's concurrence in the action taken by the Planning Department was hereby requested. Moved by Delaurenti , seconded by Poli, to concur in the action of the Planning Director. The Planning Director pointed out that this zoning is in agreement with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and in the best interests of the City. The motion carried.

Moved �y Delaurenti, seconded by Schellert, to concur in the Proclamation of the Mayor. Carried. 3- 210 Minutes of the Renton City Council Meeting (cont.) 4-12-65 COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS: OI.D BUSINESS: Councilman Gianini inquired as to what had been done in regard to requiring sub-contractors to purchase a City of Renton business license when operating within the city limits. The City Clerk replied that it has always been the policy of the Building Department to verify with the Clerk's office that a contractor has a current business license before a permit is issued. Mrs. Nelson further pointed out that work done by some contractors woul not require a permit, thereby nuking it difficult to exercise the same degree of control as possible when a permit is required. The Clerk noted that her office endeavors to issue a license to every individual or company doing business in Renton and that the telephone directory, city directory and newspaper advertisements are checked to determine those individuals not complying with the City's business license regulations. If anyone has knowledge of any business operating without benefit of a license they should submit the information to the City Clerk's Office. Mr. Jim Highton has prepared a form requiring contractors to list all of their sub-contractors when they obtain a permit. Councilman Garrett submitted the recommendation of the Engineering Department and the Street and Alley Committee that the low bid of Electric Construction Company of Tacoma, for the installation of traffic signals at Park Avenue-Bronson Way and 2nd Avenue-Main Street, be accepted.

Councilman Garrett submitted a copy of a letter he had received from Earle Tinius, Executive Secretary of the Statewide City Employees Retirement System which was read by the Clerk. Mr. Tinius expressed the gratitude of the Board of Trustees and the membership of Statewide for the passage of House Bill No. 590, amending the Statewide City Employees Retirement System Law. It was pointed out that certain inequities have been eliminated and that better benefits are available to members who may become incapacitated. The system continues to be maintained on a sound actuarial basis. Councilman Poli inquired if there was a: possibility that the commenceTpnt. date of the City' Annual Budget could be changed to a fiscal year basis to coincide with the receipt of tax monies. Discussion ensued as to the advantages and disadvantages that might accrue if a fiscal year basis were established and itwas noted that revenue was the real need. Councilman Garrett pointed out that the Association of Washington Cities has been well aware of the fact that many towns and cities are in the same position and there has been discussion relative to setting up a committee to study this problem.

Carlson, stating that they consider this action to be a breach of specified intent of prior action taken by the Council and believe it should be rescinded.

The problem of heavy traffic is evident, however, businesses in this area have been suffering badly for years because of this heavy flow and it is deemed extremely unfair to further penalize them by banning the parking during one of their peak business periods. The letter further requested that the Council reconsider the decision and rescind the parking restriction; (3) A letter from R. K. Stevens expressed his appreciation to the Council for the action taken to restrict the parking on Main Street, greatly improving the movement of traffic which is for the benefit of the majority of the people.

Councilman Perry recalled the petitions received for an against — approximately 18 signatures on a petition for rescinding the parking and more than 50 signatures in favor of the parking ban. He observed that objection to the ban was due to the location of parking lots on the opposite side of the street and pointed out that there is property on the same side of the street which might be available for lease as a parking lot by business firms in the area. Former Mayor Frank Aliment, 128 Capri, Renton,. stated that a meeting was held last week with interested parties, and he questioned the reasoning in referring this matter back to the City Engineer in view of the fact that he was at last week's meeting and made his recommendations.

(3) :Could interfere with the present lease agreement with Foss Tug and Barge (4) Concern for the liability and safety problem The Committee agreed that this is a fine program that the Sailing Club has proposed, and they would like to offer any assistance possible. They proposed as an alternative, the use of the street end at 72nd Street, under a mutual agreement, suggesting this location be investigated. Councilman Morris mentioned the City-owned property on Cedar River as another possibility. Moved by Dahlquist, seconded by Poli; to concur in the recommendation of the Property Committee and the Park Board to deny the application of the Sailing Club. In the discussion that followed, Dr. Bardarson thanked the Council for the offer, but stated the Club had found the 72nd Street location to be unsuitable, due to its marshy MW condition and the cost of putting it in condition would be prohibitive. The Cedar River site would not be feasible due to the bridges spanning the river, as the boats cannot be rigged while underway. Various other opinions were offered - from Mrs. Elaine Fleming, that use of the property would stimulate more public interest in the future development of the. park - from the Park Board, pointing to the problems that would arise when similar requests were forthcoming from other groups and from Councilman Delaurenti, that the facility should be utilized and programs scheduled as in other City Parks. At this point the Clerk, upon request, read the first paragraph of the Committee's report and recommendation for denial of the request.

A letter from City Engineer Wilson was read presenting a permit from the City of Seattle which would allow the crossing of their Cedar River Pipeline Right of Way with a 6" Cast Iron Water Main. This crossing is on Hardie Street in the vicinity of South 134th Street. It was noted that the water line covered by this permit has already been installed, and it is the recommendation of the Engineering Department that this permit be accepted, signed and returned for further processing. Moved by Poli, seconded by Bruce, to concur in the recommendation of the City Engineer. Carried.- The Clerk read a report from City Engineer Wilson relative to the Letter of Intent to Annex property in the vicinity of 132nd S.F. and Sunset Highway. A check of the County records indicates the letter of intent to annex was signed by owners representing 91.22% of the assessed value of the property requesting annexation. This area contains approximately 5 acres and has an assessed value of $12,500.99 At this time the City Clerk read the petition for annexation, bearing six signatures begi ning with .Tames J. Zuver, 10825 - 132nd S.E. and ending with Ray L. Aultman, 10801 - 132nd .E. Moved by Garrett, seconded by Poli, that the CITY ENGINEER check the petition to ascertain the vaTidity of signatures and that the signatures contained thereon represent no less than the 75% in value of the property proposed for annexation. In the discussion that ensued, Mr. William Walker, whose signature did not appear on the petition, made inquiry as to whether his recently completed home, valued at $23,000,was reflected in the City Engineer's figure of 91.22%. It was pointed out that this does not as yet appear on the assessment rolls, therefore was not included in the computation. It was further noted that this would probably have no effect on either the letter of intent (10% requirement) or the petition (75% requirement) , and that the figure mentioned probably represented the full value rather than the assessed valuation. The motion carried. The City Attorney, upon request, outlined the next Procedures in the pending annexation. Upon determination from the City Engineer that the petition is valid, the Clerk should then ascertain from the Review Board whether the board, by majority approval, consents to dispensation of review procedures. This is permissible for an area of less than ten acres and less than two hundred thousand dollars in assessed valuation, if the Board agrees that a hearing by the Review Board would not be required for Protection of the interests of the various parties. Moved by Pedersen, seconded by Dahlquist, that the City Council set May 10th as date for Hearing on this petition. Councilman Garrett suggested that the City Engineer could possibly make his report on the petition to the Clerk tomorrow to expedite her handling with the Review Board. Carried. A letter from Mayor Custer submitting the Title report on the Highlands property was read, wherein it was noted that ownership of Lot 17, Block 6, Renton Highlands is rePistered to the "United States of America," and the property is subject to certain restrictions. Item 5 under the heading of "Exceptions" indicates the property was ". . .dedicated. ..for public use for fire station purposes. It was felt that after reviewing the title report, the Council may wish to recondider its previous action in declaring the property surplus. Moved by Pedersen, seconded by Poli, that this communication be referred to the FIRE AND WATER COMMITTEE. Carried. —2— 225 Minutes of the Renton City Council Meeting (cont.) 4-26-65 COi"4UNICATIO JS : (cont,.) A communication from Mayor Custer in which the Council was informed that the $11,200 "loan" from the HF-A for use in planning the previously proposed library building may not have to be repaid upon construction of the new library, was read for Council's information. Due to failure of bond issues based upon these plans and because the currently proposed library has little correlation with the previous plans, it is possible that the Government will write off this loan. It was noted that every effort will be made to obtain a release from the Federal Government of the City's obligation to repay this loan. , communication from the Mayor was read wherein he recommended an amendment to the Horse ,...face Admission Tax Ordinance No. 2119 to clarify the matter of which admissions are to be taxed, by deleting all references to "reserved seating" . Moved by Dahlquist, seconded by Schellert, that this matter be referred to the COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE for discussion. Carried. The Clerk read a report from the Mayor relative to the request of the Renton Sailing Club for use of the Lake Washington Beach property, with the following recommendations: (1) That the Council grant to the Renton Sailing Club the temporary use of the S . E. 72nd Street site for a boat storage and launching site. (2) ghat the Council authorize the Street Department to clear_ and fill this site to make it more readily accessible and acceptable, (3) In the event any complications should ensue from the City's efforts to improve this site, that the Council authorize the temporary use of 50' of waterfront and land to a depth of 200" along the Shuffleton Plant fence in Lake Washington Beach Park to the Renton Sailing Club, providing the necessary "hold harmless agreement" and evidence of liability insurance is first obtained from the Club. (4) Regardless of which site is finally determined upon, the City should require, as a condition of use, the installation of adequate sanitary facilities, the posting of appropriate signs, and contractual arrangements for adequate policing of the area used, in .he interests of the public health, safety and welfare. _ (5) It should be the City's stated policy that the S . E. 72nd Street site will become and remain a boat launching site. At some future date, this site could be made available exclusively for power boats, and the sailing club may be able to make full use of Park Department facilities in Lake Washington Beach Park when permitted. The Mayor stated that he had gone over the request from the Sailing Club and that if the S .E : 72nd Street site was not suitable to the club, recommended that they be granted a one or two year use-permit along the Shuffleton fence, to be terminated at City=s request. A hold harmless agreement should be signed by the Club, and would not present any problem, however, the matter of safe access is a very definite problem. The Mayor noted that the proponents of this plan were responsible people, that this is a good plan and it is a proper use of water front, however, he did not feel that safety features have been entirely taken care of at th _s time . Councilman C,?r„ett as'.-.ed the Mayor if he would state his primary recommendation on this matter. Mayor Custer replied that he would recommend that the Council grant to the Sailing Club the temporary use of S . E . 72nd, and further that the City clear and fill this property. Upon inquiry from Councilwoman Dahlquist on costs involved here, an estimate of $1,000 was made by the Mayor. Requested to speak on the matter, Mr. Coulon stated that the Park Board had covered these points with the Property Committee and although they had some different thoughts, in general they were in agreement. At this time it was moved by Morris, seconded by Garrett, to concur in the recommendation of the Mayor. Councilwoman Dahlquist stated her objection to this motion in view of the fact that the cost of the work to clear and fill this property is still not known, and no decision should be made until this cost is deter- nined as this wort: was included in the Mayor's recommendation, The Mayor called for comments '*"From the audience relative to this matter. Dr. Baird Bardarson., 320 Renton Street, spoke in behalf of the Sailing Club, outlining the program to be offered. Relative to the offer of the S. E . 72nd Street site, it should be noted that a house projects 13 feet on this property which could cause some delay in obtaining use of the property and time is running out for this program. The Club has not asked for the 72nd Street site, and it is doubtful that their plans could be carried out at this location. The site of the Lake Washington Beach Park was chosen because it is centrally located and easily accessible to the children who would be participating in the program. -3- X26 1 Minutes of the Renton City Council Meeting (cont.) 4-26-65 COMMUNICATIONS : (cont.) At this time Councilman Morris withdrew his motion with consent of second. It was then moved by Garrett, seconded by Morris, that the Council grant the Sailing Club the use of the Fark property as requested. Councilwoman Dahlquist stated she was not in favor of going against the Park Board recommenda- tions. The Board was established to consider recreational matters and have made a thorough study of the question. They are more familiar with the problems involved here and are still concerned over many matters involving this request, including the problem of safe access to the property. A bond issue which would have provided the funds needed for the development of Lake Washington Beach did not pass. Mrs. Margaret Evans, 403 Grandey Way, speaking from the audience, commented that the Council should take a more forward look in this matter. She noted that in her opinion there is ample visibility from both directions to permit safe crossing of the railroad tracks and that this program would be of great benefit to the young people of the City. Mr. Charles Shane spoke along the same lines, that this would be a good use of this property and that permission would be granted only by means of a revokable permit. With reference to fees, Mr. Jerome Faull, 316 Renton Street observed that there is an admission charge made at the municipal swimming pool and Mr. Robert Edwards stated that this would be no different than the dues assessed by most youth groups, such as scout organizations. Mr. T. J. Hogan stated that although he was not opposed to the sailing program, in his opinion this would open the way for other groups to make similar requests, including the use of this beach for swimming. Mr. Gene Coulon, Park Director, again expressed the concern of the Park Department and Park Board that other groups would be attracted to the area. Upon inquiry concerning access to the property, the City Attorney advised that the City has been negotiating with the railroad for some time relative to sharing in the cost of warning signals for the crossing of the tracks, which are necessary for safe access. Councilman Bruce stated that upon further consideration ,of the matter, he felt he was now in favor of granting the request of the Sailing Club. A roll. call vote was taken on the pending motion with Bruce, Schellert, Garrett, Trimm, Delaurenti, and Morris voting aye, and Pedersen, Dahlquist, Gianini, and Poli voting no, 6 ayes and 4 nos.

COMMUNICATIONS A letter from the City Engineer was read requesting permission to change the bid opening date for the completion of 3rd Avenue North Extension from May 10th to May 24th. It was noted that the installation of the water main has just been started and it will require the better part of May to complete; therefore a bid opening during the latter part of May would be more desirable. This change would not delay the completion of this project since the installation of the water main is the controlling factor. Moved by Poli, seconded by Schellert, to concur in the recommendation of the City Engineer. Carried. VIZ Minutes of the Renton City Council Meeting (cont.) 5-3--65 COMMUNICATIONS: (cont.)

Mayor Custer advised that there had been some concern as to whether or not the State should be declared a disaster area and that is the reason Renton and many other cities have prepared reports of earthquake damage such as the one presented this evening. The State will receive assistance from the Federal Government if the accumulated totals of the cities of Washington indicates the necessity. It will not be possible to reimburse each individual, but the City will receive funds for street repair and other such items which would be to the benefit of all residents of the City. Moved by Bruce, that the City request the Governor to declare Renton and surrounding community a disaster area. The motion failed for lack of second.

Upon Council inquiry whether a fee as requested could be established, the City Attorney stated that Barber Colleges are regulated by the State under its police power, therefore the City would not have the right to license for the purpose of restriction or regulation, but could impose a reasonable license fee under its taxing authority for the purpose of raising revenue. Mr. R. T. Ledingham, spokesman for the petitioners, stated the City of Everett had established a fee of $1,000 for barber colleges and requested the Council study this matter and possibly put a similar license fee into effect for the City of Renton.

The Clerk read a communication from Mr. Kenneth E. Koehler, Architect for the above mentioned Church, setting forth reasons in support of the variance request, The application had been denied by the Planning Commission since the parking provisions did not comply with code requirements.

Where will be 43 spaces in the parking lot and an additional 7 spaces on the street, On special occasions such as Easter and Christmas, the Church would be able to utilize the available parking area of the school which will be constructed across the street.

Koehler intro! duced himself and pointed out that the seating capacity of the Church is 154 persons and that membership is limited to 250 - 300 persons, after which a split is made and a new group formed, The combination of street parking adjoining the property and that of the school property adjacent would make up any shortage on high attendance days. Inquiry was made relative to the Puget Sound Power & Light Company right-of-way and it was determined that the church owns this property and the, Puget Sound Power and Light Company has an easement for power lines.

Mr. Howard Anderson commented that at one time the school district presented a petition to vacate the street and that it was through this process that the church purchased from the School District the property in question and there was a clear title at that time ,: A vote on the pending motion carried. -2- Minutes of the Renton City Council Meeting (cont.) 5-24-65 COMMUNICATIONS The City Clerk read a note from former Councilman Walt Reid in which he expressed his appreciation for the plant he received while in the hospital.

Councilwoman Dahlquist reminded the Council that this was submitted in the form of a verbal request regarding a matter that has been referred to the Committee of the Whole and that the Council is now taking action without committee recommendation.

It was antic_�_pated in view of decisions taken previously by the Supreme Court that they will confirm the illegality 'of the contract for �. failure to call for bids and inability to pay by reason of funds not having been appropriated• in -the calendar year 1960. It was pointed out that the Cicy was embarking upon a new theory �,,in -the State by urging the Supreme Court to adopt the rule that in an illegal contract situation only the value of the benefit to the City should be allowed the contractor who engaged in -the improper ,contract. This theory has not been applied heretofore. The out- come could not yet be predicted at this time. Bill for balance due on the Appeal was �'+ > rendered in the sum of $500.00.

Mr. Felix Campanella was introduced by Mr. Johnston, also a member of the Art Commission and Mr. Tom Teasdale of the Library Board.

Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Hulse, to refer the matter to the Ways and Means Commit-tee for recommendation regarding funding . Carried. A Petition was read containing approximately 55 signatures, beginning with Donald A. MacWhirter and ending with Verda M. Todd, requesting that the Public Use Areas Bounded by Blocks 26 and 26A and 7th Avenue Forth, not be turned back to the Federal Government for disposition, as recommended by -the City Engineer, Park Department and Street De- partment, but that the City allocate a budget and direct -the Park and/or Street Department to grade and clean up the land and make it suitable for use by the numerous children who live in this area for a play area or park. A letter written by Mayor Custer reported inspection o= the public use areas in the Highlands District, by Building Director Reisberg and reported initiation of administra- tive program as follows: The Bldg. Dep't. will begin a regular program of inspection in the Highlands area for such time as these areas may be under the City's jurisdiction to insure compliance with the City Ordinances. Beginning Monday, June 14, the City Street Department will begin a clean-up program which will include hauling away of .debris and mowing of the grass. All private property or equipment will be removed from the areas by the owners at the City's request; any such equipment not removed within a reasonable time will be assumed to be abandoned and will be removed by the City. All structures within the Public Use Areas not owned by the City will be torn down or removed. Each area will be posted with appropriate s ins to discourage further dumping on the sites. All abutting property owners will be notified that garbage cans and other personal property is to be removed from the Public Use Areas. This program is based upon knowledge that problems in the subject areas have been in existence for many years. The City, through the Public Relations Committee of the Council, is now engaged in finding a permanent solution to the problems. Mayor Custer stated that in his opinion the City will best serve the interests of the citizens,,in the Highlands by completing a thorough clean-up of the areas and then initiating a program of regular periodic inspections to insure the continued maintenance of the areas. Since several considerations were involved beyond those determined to be of an administrative problem, this report was beim* directed to the Council and will be initiated June 14, unless objections are forthcoming. Moved by Morris, seconded by Bruce, to concur with- the program outlined by the Mayor. Discussion ensued relative -to prior action taken -to date on the matter from the Property Committee referral to the Public Relations Committee on 10-26-64. -4- Minutes of the Renton City Council Meeting 6-7-65 COMMUTTICATIONS: (cont.) Councilman Perry inquired whether such a clean up program might constitute land improvement which might designate that the City intends to retain the property. City Attorney Shellan gave the opinion that since no permanent improvement was being made such as creating or erecting structures the clean-up, though bound to be an improvement in the appearance would not constitute any permanence nor signify intent to retain. It was recommended that a decision be rendered the Federal Government in any case. Further inquiries and recommended referrals followed and after review by Mr. SheUan,from acquisition in 1954 from the Federal Government by deed containing the restrictive reversion clause for purpose of gratis grant, to subsequent vacation and improvement requests from abutting property owners and current referral to the Public Relations Committee,upon recommendation by the Property Committee on 10-26-64, Pedersen moved the question on the pending motion- for concurrence in the Mayor's Clean-up program. It was pointed out that the City could not vacate the area as it did not own it and the Federal Government had signified its willingness to sell to the property owners if the City did not want it and would deed it back. The Petition to retain is from Suburban Heights area.Public Relations Chairman Perry stated that the Committee has been studying the whole public ase area which the present Petition does not cover and that it was intended that a recommendation was to be made for reply to the Federal Government forthwith. Pedersen again called for vote on the pending motion which was entertained at this time and carried. Moved by Pedersen, seconded by Hulse, that the Petition be referred to the Public Relations Committee. After further discussion, City Engineer 11ilson posted a map�n — outlined the public use areas as they presently exist in the Highlands area. Morris designated the area covered by the Petition. Motion by Garrett, seconded by Hulse, recommended the area covered by previous letters which Mr. Shellan discussed,be referred also to the Public Relations Committee . 'Discussions ensued; regarding locations of areas referred heretofore, and Mr. Perry stated all areas had been referred previously. The pending motion for referral of the Petition was put to vote and carried. A letter from City Attorney Shellan submitted report of the City's Insurance Carrier, Public Employees Mutual, that it would, in view of allegations set forth, be unable to assist in the Court Suit, Western Sand & Gravel Co. vs. City of Renton, and the City's legal department will need to defend exclusively, and will advise of proceedings. A letter read from J. David Jensen reviewed facts and circumstances regarding zoning of properties owned by Mr. Shane, which properties lie between the westerly boundary of Monterey Terrace and the Easterly boundary of the Freeway. The facts were outlined as per request by Mr. Shane recalling circumstances of reclassification from residential use RS to B-1, Business Use District on August 2, 1955 per Ordinance No. 1522; Subsequent use for business purposes included storage of materials and operation of an ice house. The Business use classification was removed at an unknown point in time probably following acquisition by the State Highway of that portion being used for business. The then- existing provision of the Ordinance providing for reversion of zoning to original status if not used would not have been applicable if the property was used for business purposes at the time of zoning or subsequent thereto. The zoning map was corrected on May 19, 1965 to reflect the proper zoning classification on the property described in Ordinance No. 1522. Council confirmation was requested. Moved by Hulse, seconded by Schellert, to concur in the request. Carried. A letter from Mayor Custer recommended, based upon advice of the City Attorney and Engineer, that the Mayor be authorized to retain a registered land surveyor to determine ownership of a small. parcel of land located within the Civic Center Site, inasmuch as a question has arisen concerning the possible interest of the heirs of the Sartori Estate in such land. A portion of the Liberty Park property was donated by the Estate and the original boundaries in question were probably altered when the course of the Cedar River was chanted and it is felt the boundaries should be verified prior to further procedure. Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Pedersen, to authorize a licensed surveyor to be retained as requested. Carried. A letter from Marshall and Meyer, Financial Consultants, requested opportunity to serve the City and attention was called to the new bond refunding legislation. ' Moved by Schellert, seconded by Perry, to refer the communication to the Committee of the Whole. Attention was called to the fact that the City has engaged the services of Council. City Treasurer Gossett was requested to be present at the meeting to discuss th3 -bonding program. The pending motion carried. -5- Minutes of the Renton City Council Meeting 6-6-65 COMMUNICATIONS: (cont.) A letter from Mr. George 0. Pyatt, Manager, Bryn Mawr-Lakeri.dge Sewer District re- quested that the City of Renton, if it determines to annex the property of Mr. W. R. Wood, Wood Construction Company, require the property owners to make the Bryn Mawr Dis-r•ict whole for its expenses incurred on Mr. Idood's behalf. A letter from the District to Mr. Wood recalled circumstances of January 1965 when Mr. Wood petitioned for annexation of his Hilltop Suburban Plat to the Lakeridge Sewer District and acceptance and authorization to proceed per adopted Resolution 109. Upon approval of the annexation of the Plat plans were prepared for bid call. The District was requesting reimbursement for engineering ai legal costs incurred in connection with sewers to serve said Plat. Moved by Poli, seconded by Hulse, to refer the letters to the Sanitation Committee to investigate and report back. Carried. CITY PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS A letter from Planning Director Jensen submitted Commission recommendations from its public hearing of May 26, 1965 on the following items: 1. Conner's Lake View Park No. 2., Preliminary Plat, Appl. No. S-240-65 - approval recommended with provision for a minimum 801 turn around at the south end of 85th Avenue South. This Plat is located in the general vicinity of South 126th Street and 84th Ave, So. Moved by Poli, seconded by Schellert, to concur in the Planning Commission recom- mendation. Carried. 2. Frew Dickson request for reclassification of property as described in Appl. R-238-65 i from GA-1 to T-1, Trailer Park, with provisions as agreed to by owner at the public hearing, to-wit: (a) Applicant further agrees to grant unto the City an easement for roadway and utility purposes over the South 151 of the property along South 153rd Street. (b) The applicant further agrees to ;rant unto the City an easement for roadway and utility purposes over the South 151 of the property along South 153rd Street. (c) Applicant further agrees to make provision for sewers prior to applying for any building permit. (This property is located between FAI-405 and South 153rd Street north of Longacres. Planning Committee Member, Councilman Schellert, stated he felt the intent of the Planning Commission was that the request be granted upon fulfillment of the conditions in felt the matter should be held in the Planning Commission until items have been taken car _ of. Mayor Custer inquired of City Attorney Shellan whether such requirements to be . ' fulfilled are in effect putting a condition on the rezone. City Attorney Shellan stated the matter should not rightfully come before the Council until after the conditions have been complied with as we have no ordinance which would require these conditions and they would have to be voluntary on behalf of the property owner. Attorney Donald Gouge addressed the Council on behalf of property owners who have a like request upon which conditions have also been imposed, however, as he is planning to be out of the country it would be a serious handicap if the procedure were delayed and if it were known the conditions were to be fulfilled prior to the City granting the rezone the necessary documents would have been presented this evening. (Roe Dykeman & Selvino Mencias, Appl. No. R-237-65.) Moved by Schellert, seconded by Hulse, that the matter be referred back to the Planning Commission for further study. Discussion ensued wherein it was pointed out that the matter before the Council was the recommendation of the Commission and that in the event conditions are not met the enacting ordinance need not be adopted. Planning Director stated that the Commission feels strongly that the terms should be met and that owners are agredable thereto but they do not go ahead until Council -ives concurrence, as they do .not want to invest or transact any negotiations until Council has given assurrance of the rezone by indicating favorably. The pending motion subsequently was voted upon and declared lost by majority dissenting voice vote. Item #2 was pending at this time and it was Moved by Trimm, seconded by Garrett, to concur in the recommendation of the Planning Commission. Council-woman Dahlquist ing4irel of the City Attorney whether this were legal. City Attorney Shellan stated that it i m raliyaIv wrong for the City to require properly to be dedicated without compensation as a stipulation for a rezone as the property owner wouI not need to comply once the rezone was ;ranted. This was recently tested in Bellevue. The pending motion was carried. Dahlquist requested that her No vote be recorded. 3. Roe Dykeman & Selvino Mencial Appl. R-237-65, requesting rezone from G to H- 1 cf property on South 180th Street between the East and West Valley Highways. Reclassification was recommended less the South 5001 of that portion abutting South 180th which should be T-1. Owners agree to a 601 setback for buildings along So. 180th with 20' sideyards along the East and West property lines with provision within the setback for landscaping over the South 201 and East and 1?est 101 of the properties to be classified to L-1. -6- 223 Minuttes of -the Renton City Council Meeting 6-7-65 Planning; Commission Recommendations - (cont.) Roe Dykeman & Selvino Mencias, Appl.

This property is located in vicinity of 80th Ave. So. and South 80th Street. Moved by Trimm, seconded by Perry, to concur in the recommendations of the Planning Commission. The motion carried. Dahlquist voted No. I Moved by Schellert, seconded by Dahlquist, that the prior two items be referred to the Planning Committee for a recommendation. Garrett spoke in opposition stating the `.r proper procedure being to refer to the Ordinance Committee which was the intent of the successful motion. Schellertdefended the motion urging affirmative vote asserting that only the Planning Committee can be sure conditions are taken care of before referral to the Law and Ordinance Committee. Trimm pointed out that the vote taken was on the recom- mendation to rezone and in any .event. 'to,-2rezone;+istthelegislative recommendation. The ques- tion was called on the pending motion and the motion was declared lost by majority no vote. Moved by Perry, seconded by Poli, to refer the two prior Planning Commission recom- mendations to the Law and Ordinance Committee. Carried. Mark Hokenson & Ieroy Hokenson, Appl. No. R-239-65, requesting rezone to B-1 and R-s from G-7200. Rezone was recommended with B-1 covering the North 290' of that portion of the property described in the application lying west of 134th Ave. S .E., extended, and to R-3 on balance of property described including that portion lying East of the extenGion of 134th Ave. S.E. originally proposed for B-1. Applicant agreed to (a) Dedicate and improve 134th Ave. S.E. consistent with the City Subdivision requirements and (b) To quit claim or reserve by easement the West 12' of the property along 132nd Ave. S .E . for roadways and utility purposes.

Carried. Moved by Garrett, seconded by Perry, to refer the matter to the Law and Ordinance Committee. Upon dissenting voice vote, roll call was requested as required and resulted as follows: Aye: Pedersen, Bruce, Garrett, Trimm, Perry, Delaurenti, Poli and Morris. No: Hulse, Schellert and Dahlquist. The motion carried with 8 Aye votes and 3 No votes. In other action the Commission recommended denial of Application P-236-54 which would allow relocation of an existing sign for the Shell Station at 115 Rainier Avenue North. In the denial the Commission had suggested that the sign be adjusted back to the line of the signs previously located thereat which was the understanding of the wording in the request, the new sign extending too far into the right of way. Moved by Poli, seconded by Schellert, to concur in the recommendation. After discussion on problems relating to sign encroachments heretofore, the motion carried. City Clerk Nelson submitted outline of new statutes pursuant to Chapter 116, Laws of 1965 wherein new Voucher Approval methods will become operative. The Vendors no longer need to sign Claimant Certifications which may now be signed by the Department and t1d.s saves much time for all.kw•, in lieu- of individual voucher signing, the program of blanket voucher approval will be recognized. It would seem the blarrket approval in- volvesmuch more work and detail by the Department setting up Vouchers and will place additional certifying responsibility upon the Auditing and Accounting Committee. A sample Voucher Approval Certification was attached and a meeting of the Committee was suggested for discussion of the new provisions. Moved by Morris, seconded by Poli, to refer the matter to the Auditing and Accounting Committee. Carried.

Councilman Sebellert, Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, reported that his Committee will meet with the Park Board on June 15th at 6:00 p.m. in the office of the Park Director to discuss funding for the covered grandstand. The Committee requested additional time for funding of the band concerts. Councilwoman Dahlquist recalled that sometime ago the Civil Service Commission had recommended that the City secure examinations for administration to candidates for police and fire positions�to give them phyvical exam and the sum of $500.00 was required therefor. Moved by Dahlquist, seconded by Poli, to refer funding of the new examinations to the Ways and Means Committee. Police and License Committee Chairman Delaurenti reported that this matter had been referred to his Committee previously and the Committee had recom- mended that funds be budgeted in the coming year for this purpose as it was felt to be more timely than at this time. The Mayor acknowledged the pending motion. Garrett spoke against the motion deeming it improper and irregular to take a matter from a Committee it had already been referred to. Poli withdrew his motion aknowledging the prior referral and Mayor Custer declared the motion lost for lack of second. Councilwoman Dahlquist called attention to a referral of 10 weeks ago to the Street and Alley Committee of a Petition regarding restricted parking along Main Street and it was felt that the Committee report should be made by this time. Councilman Garrett reported that the Committee has considerable data and information regarding the matter, some in writing, that Mrs. Dahlquist was welcome to review if she so desired, but that the Committee is making a thorough study and investigation and will report when it finishes the study. Mrs. Dahlquist stated her opinion that reports on petitions should be made within a reasonable time. Councilman Delaurenti, Chairman, Fire and Water Committee, reported, regarding proposed Later Comers Agreement between the City and Metro in connection with installation of a twelve-inch cast iron main to provide water service for the new treatment plant in Earlington area, and it was recommended to concur with the request. Moved by Schellert, seconded by Bruce, to concur in the recommendation with the Mayor and City Clerk being authorized to execute the necessary documents. Carried. Councilman Delaurenti, Chairman of the Special Power Rate Study Committee reported m,?et=.ng with Mr. Clarence Unnevehr, rate expert retained by Puget Power and that the rate study by Mr. Unnevehr is nearing completion and specific recommendations will be made to the P)wer Company by July 1, the target date set a year ago. This will include presentation of th,3 cost and information which will determine whether areas such as Renton may be ... justified in being served at rate levels below the company-wide rate average. The Power Pate Study Committee of the Council will report at the July 12th meeting, which is the first meeting of the Council following the July 1 report date. The Committee has requested Iuget Power to advise when the matter goes before the State Utility and Transportation Commission in order that the city may have a representative present. -5- Y Minutes of the Renton City Council Meeting 6-1465 COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS OLD BUSINESS: (cont.) Councilman Poli, Chairman of the Light and Power Committee, reported that the problem regarding lighting of the ballfield on a team participation basis was referred to the Park Board. The original request from the Athletic Commission recommended that the City assume energy costs for the little league games which approximate cost of $600.00 had been suggested to be funded from the executive budget in previous discussion. The present recommendation is for the City to assume one-half of the costs of the Liberty Park lighting energy anticipated to be approximately $500.00 to $600.00 and it was moved by Poli, seconded by Schellert, to refer this recommendation to the Ways and Means Committee. Carried. Mayor Custer reported to the Council that the State has now agreed to limit the City's share in construction costs on the North Renton Interchange to $400,000.00 which amount was approved by the voters for funding of the project by G. 0. Bonds on the February ballot last year. The State had determined Renton's share based on right-of- way acquisition costs. The estimate Mved somewhat below the actual-programmed cost but the City was not favorable to assume costs above those which had been determined to be required for submitting to vote of the people. Confirmation has been received that the city's share will be limited to the $400,000.00. Mayor Custer expressed thanks on behalf of the City to Representatives Garrett and Grant who helped in great measure to solve the problem and also to Mr. Leonard A. Sawyer, House of Representatives,Highway Committee. Upon inquiry, City Engineer Wilson anticipated bid call, according to the State Highway Commission, in July and it was hoped to see some activity yet this year. The State will handle design of our portion and any land the City is able to acquire in the area will be made available to the State for the project. The total cost was expected to be in excess of $1,300,000.00. July 15, 1966 was target date for completion of Maple Valley Y to Longacres portion. Perry inquired whether the plans were now complete for the project and Mayor Custer replied that we have the final plans designating where the interchange will be situated. Mr. Lou Weisman addressed the Council at this time requesting those persons who will be considering construction of a covered grandstand to turn the project down and consider prior to the Liberty Park project some recreation halls in the Highlands the present recreation centers being deemed too small to accommodate the children who are now residing in the area. NEW BUSINESS: Councilman Schellert announced a meeting of -the Ways and Means Committee on June 15th with the Park Board in the Park Director's office. Councilwoman Dahlquist, Chairman of the Legislative Committee,called attention to the Gc-r1 Roads Association neeting in Bellingham, September 15-16 and 17th and it was recom- mended that any Resolutions which may be proposed be submitted at an early date. Councilman Delaurenti reported that the Fire and Water Committee referral regarding water pressures had been discussed with the Engineering Department and that the water department has assizrred some relief within a week or ten days. This is in the McKnight Heights area and Mayor Custer reported that pressure reducers had been in- stalled, and an 8 inch line serving the area is inadequate, especially at this time of year when lawns are watered and certain times of the day during maximum usage. ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS: Law and Ordinance Chairman, Vern Morris, submitted a letter which was read by the Clerk from the City Attorney advising that Ordinances regarding rezoning of Dykeman, Mencias, Hokenson and Dickson properties do not contain any reference to the conditions precedent imposed by the Planning Commission and concurred in by the Council, as neither has a right to impose conditions precedent which would require a property owner, in cases of rezoning, to give up property free of cost to the City. The Courts have struck down any such requirements in the past and undoubtedly would do so again if challenged. If, on the other hand, the property owner, on a strictly voluntary basis, is willing to dedicate some right-of-way either outright or by easement to the City there certainly would be no objection to accepting same and thereafter adopting a rezoning Ordinance if such is in the best interest of the City. It was recommended that a proper ordinance be adopted at which time the City can enforce provisions, and that the Planning Commission consider an industrial park type ordinance which would undoubtedly regulate any facets now being considered by means of the conditions precedent. Based on present recommenda- tiDns there is no legal way the City could enforce the various conditions in event the orooerty owners -ail to comp�v. _ F 274 Minutes of the Renton City Council Meeting 6-14-65 ORDINANCE'S AND RESOLUTIONS: Councilman Morris reported that the Law and Ordinance Committee has three proposed Ordinances regarding rezones of property to which City Attorney Shellan had referred and the Committee wished to refer same to the Council for dec=ision as to whether they sha_i be plz.ced on first reading. Moved by Poli, seconded by Perry, to place the Ordinances on first reading. Mr. Perry recalled that last week when the Council voted in concurrence with the Planning Commission recommendations it was under the impression they were going to vote on the Ordinances and not hold them up for any conditions the Planning Commission had imposed. The passage was urged with the Planning Commission to impose the conditions if they can, The pending motion was carried. Dahlquist opposed. The Law and Ordinance Committee presented a proposed Ordinance of the City of Renton Washington changing the zoning classification of certain properties within the city of Renton from General Classification District (G) to Heavy Industry (H-1) and Light Industry ( =j respectively. (Roe Dykeman & Selvino Mencias property) The City Clerk read the docu- ment. Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Poli, to refer the proposed Ordinance to the Law and Ordinance Committee for recommendation. Dahlquist stated the Committee has a recom- mendation to do what the City Attorney had written. Moved by Garrett, seconded by Perry, to amend the motion to place the proposed Ordinance on second and final reading. Mayor Custer ruled this amendment out of order it being contrary to the original motion, Delaurenti stated the recommendation should come from the Law and Ordinance Committee as to whether for or against and Morris replied that the Attorney's communication pretty clearly states what position the council can take and he did not feel that three committee members should decide whether the ordinance is proper or not. Perry stated that the City Attorney advised last week that if the Council carried through with recommendations of the Planning Commission regarding restrictions it was acting illegally and by referring it back to the Law and Ordinance Committee it did not alter the situation., Garrett stated that the property owners may come of their own free will per City Attorney's letter, and make any conci-71.ations on deeding any property or make any agreements the,Iwant and none of this is binding upon the rezone. The Council voted to rezone and that is the only thing before the council at the present time; whether this is a good rezone or nt. Schellert advised that the Commission did not feel this is good zoning under present conditions and it properly should be referred to -the Law and Ordinance Committee or perhaps to the Planning Committee. Inquiry was made as to whether problems had arisen heretofore by reason of property owners not fulfilling conditions. Planning Director Jensen stated that in all instances the people are willing to proceed as requested, other- wise the Commission would not recommend the rezone but the offers had been voluntary on the part of the property owners. All conditions and requests made for setbacks on certain streets , establishment of the uses and landscape were such as might be contained in an industrial park zoning and the people realize the requirements are suitable for the area and some are in the process of preparation of the necessary documents as agreed, and perhaps the matter should be held therefor. Trimm recalled the attorneys ruling of illegality to put restrictions on property when rezoning.He 'felt Planning Commissions recommendaCion to restrict before rezoning is out of order. The motion intent, a.; made last weed; is for rezone and if the people voluntarily agree to any restrictions, it is well. Only one instance of non-compliance was recalled; City Attorney Shellan advised that the Planning Commission and Council have a right to impose restrictions but these have to be established by ordinance by amending Heavy Industry portion of the ordinance, saying from now on they should have setbacks, etc, in lieu of trying to enforce any laws that.have not been adopted. The question was called for and the pending motion to refer to the Law and Ordinance Committee was subsequently carried. The Committee presented a proposed Ordiralce of the City of Renton, 11ashington changing the zoning Classification of certain property within the City of Renton from General classification district (G-7200) to Business District (B-1) and Residential District (R-3j, which was read by the Clerk. Moved by Perry, seconded by Pedersen, that the Ordinance be placed on second and final reading. Moved by Schellert, seconded by Poli, to refer the proposed ordinance to the Law and Ordinance Committee. Carried. (Mark Hokenson & Leroy Hokenson property) The Committee presented a proposed Ordinance of the City of Renton changing the zoning classification of certain properties wtihin the City of Renton from general classi- fication district (GS-1) to Trailer Park (T-1) (Frew Dickcon property), which !;'as read by the City Clerk.

Carried. -7- I 275 Minutes of the Renton City Council Meeting 6-14-65 ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS: (cont.) Councilwoman Dahlquist, recalling suggestion of City Attorney Shellan that Industrial Type Ordinance would provide means of satisfying requirements heretofore recommended to the Council by the Planning Commission on certain rezones, moved that the matter be referred to the Planning Commission and such type Industrial Park Ordinance be considered. The motion was second- by Schellert. After discussion on the motion regarding propriety of the referral and Director Jensen's comment that such an Ordinance is now being considered but not ready for submission to the Council, the pending -motion carried. wrrl The Law and Ordinance Committee submitted a proposed Resolution of the City of Renton appropriating from excess revenues unto the Equipment Rental Fund, the following: Central Garage and Shop, 3600: 110, Salaries and Wages, $3,100.00; 201, Social Security, $115.00; 202, Prepaid Medical, $ 50.00; 203, Industrial Insurance, $ 20.00; 204, Employees Life Insurance, $ 15.00; 409, Automotive Parts, $3,100,00.

Since the alley was platted by the State and -I� turned over to the City it was felt -'chat in event the City does not want the property "IF it then reverts back to the State who will probably offer to sell to abutting owners. a legal opinion from the City Attorney was recommended. Moved by Schellert, seconded by Bruce, to refer the matter to the Street and Alley Committee and City Attorney for recommendation. Carried. The City Clerk reported that a new hearing date would be required under the circumstances. Moved by Pedersen, seconded '-c postpone the hearing date pending legal report. Carried. -2- Joey Minutes of the Renton City Council Meeting 6-21-65 COMMUNICATIONS: (cont.) A letter read from City Engineer, Jack Wilson, submitted and recommended for payment, Progress Estimate #2, for work performed through May 26, 1965 by Cornell, Howland, Hayes and Merryfield on the Water Study being conducted in connection with requirements in bond offerings. The amount due this estimate is $593.50. Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Perry, to refer the recommendation to the Auditing and Accounting Committee with power to act. Carried. A letter from Mayor Custer submitted and recommended for payment, bill in the sum of $1,225.00, due Foster and Marshall for financial consultant services rendered in connection with the North Renton Interchange and Library G. 0. Bonds and the Water Revenue Bonds, including preparation and mailing of the prospectus. Moved by Poli, seconded by Schellert, to concur in the recommendation of the Mayor. Carried. (To be funded from proceeds of bond sales with one-half of fees to be paid from water revenue bonds, ,, one-third from interchange bonds and one-sixth from library bonds.) A letter was read from The Boeing Company, C. S. Sargent, Manager Facilities Engineering, requesting authority to excavate the bed of the Cedar River for riprap toe and to place riprap on the river bank per sketch attached. All dredged materials will be disposed of onto adjacent uplands as directed by the City or its Airport Board. Moved by Dahlquist, seconded by Schellert, to refer the request to the Property Committee to report back. Carried. A letter read from the Downtown Renton Retail Merchants Association requested permission to place advertising banners across public rights-of-way in the City to promote annual sidewalk sale to be held July 7 through 10. Banners are to be placed on July 2 and remain until July 14, 1965. Moved by Bruce, seconded by Schellert, to grant the request with placement of the banners to be under supervision of the Street Commissioner and the required Hold Harm- less Agreement to be executed. Carried. A letter was read from Mr. Orrin L. Madison calling attention to the problem of starlings which have multiplied and are flocking to cherry trees and other crops. Mr. Madison states his intent to shoot the invaders and charges the Council with responsib ity to make provision so citizens can protect their properties. Poison was an alterna to shooting and it was suggested that a solution would be to let those who are trouble work out methods of control without endangering others; that restrictive ordinances are not fair to raisers of produce. Mr. Madison continued that wars, trouble and ordinances are born in the city, not in the open air and requested that the farmer be given con- sideration. He concluded that heritage of freedom, ,justice and the inviolate privileges of the home warrant protection and that Renton should be for . the people, not for the birds, especially a plague of starlings getting worse each year. Discussion ensued regarding prior communications from Mr. Madison and referral of same to the Public Relations Committee on this problem and Councilman Perry stated the Humane Society did not favor certain methods ofcontrol and suggested referral to the Humane Society of the problem. Councilman Pedersen added that this problem is one of national concern and that it is becoming greater in the Northwest,that shooting would not likely eliminate. No solution was forthcoming and the meeting was moved to the next order of business. A letter from Mr. Thomas Hogan requested approval for the sale of his taxicab business to Mr. Roger Kokanson inasmuch as the previously anticipated sale to Mr. Rush had not been consumated. Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Dahlquist, to refer the request to the Police and License Committee with power to act. Carried. A letter from the Civitan Club, Francis Porter, lst Vice-President, requested a No-Fee Permit to sell cotton candy during the Renton Aviation Festival on July 1, 2, 3 and 4, 1965 with all proceeds to be donated to charitable organizations. Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Perry, that permission be granted as requested. Inquiry disclosed the sale was not to be on airport property but along the parade route and on the streets. The No-Fee Permit however, merely allows a license to operate with- out fee, the place of sale to be approved by arrangements made with Airport Board or other governing owner. The pending motion was subsequently carri@d. -3- 279 Minutes of the Renton City Council Meeting 6-21-65 COMMUNICATIONS: (cont.) A letter from W. R. Ney requested No-Fee Permit for a Food Concession at the Renton Airport on July 1, 2, 3 and 4 during the Air Show, with proceeds in amount of 5% of Gross Sales to be turned over to Kiwanis and Rotary Clubs of Renton, Inquiry was made as to whether the Chamber of Commerce were authorizing the sale and ii approval has been secured by the Airport Board, Boeing and the Renton Aviation Co. for use of the airport property. Mayor Custer advised -chat the concessionaire was operating at Crystal Mountain and would contract for vending concession at the Airport. Mr. Kay Johnson advised of executing Permit and Hold Harmless Agreement and additional insurance than generally is required to cover activities on portion of the airport they are using and the City's no-fee permit would permit sale on city property but would not concern people whose welfare and safety the Chamber documents covered. ,... It was again pointed out that the operator of the concession would need to secure permission from the Alrport to use the premises. Moved by Perry, seconded by Schellert, to refer the No-Fee Permit request to the Police and License Committee with power to act. Moved by Morris, seconded by Dahlquist, that the motion be amended to include referral also to the Airport Board. The amendment carried and subsequently the original motion as amended. A letter from Mayor Custer recalled the Council's authorization for condemnation proceedings on the two parcels of property within the Civic Center Site and reported that the City Attorney has been negotiating with the heirs of the Rocksie Williams Estate and they have agreed in writing to accept the City's appraisal figure of $10,000.00 covering Lot 3, Block 2, Town of Renton; 6000 sq. ft. @ $1.67. It was recommended that the Council authorize the purchase of the property and that the Mayor and City Clerk be authoaized to execute all documents pertaining thereto, as may be required. Moved by Pedersen, seconded by Perry, to concur in the recommendations of the Mayor. Carried. Dahlquist opposed. A letter from the Mayor was read submitting,for Council consideration, Quit Claim Deed from the State of Washington to the City of Renton, conveying a small parcel of property containing approximately 5S3 sq. ft. on the northeast corner of intersection of 3rd Avenue and Mill Street. The Mayor had requested that all of the State-ecquired property bordering the freeway route, which might be considered surplus by the State, be deeded to the City, which property may become useful with implementation of several road projects. It may be used through sale to replace that of private owners whose land may be purchased by the City for the Main to Mill Street connection project. Also, such surplus lands might be used for public parking. Terms of the Deed restrict the use to public purposes with reversion clause in event the City should not use it for such purpose. Approval and execution authorization was recommended. Moved by Pedersen, seconded by Dahlquist, that the Deed and communication be referred to the City Attorney for recommendation. Carried. Mayor Custer requested m recurrence of the Council, because of changes in State Law, in the adoption of a Resolution authorizing the following; City Officials to sign "Certificates of Claim", to be used by the City in lieu of former Vendor's Certificate: City Clerk, Deputy City Clerk, Purchasing Agent, Library Director, President of the Library Board, Park Director, President of the Park Board, Airport Director and President of the Airport Board. Moved by Poli, seconded by Bruce, to concur in the recommendation with referral to the Law and Ordinance Committee. Discussion disclosed this action to be in conformity with State Law and the City Clerk advised that the head of the State Examiners recommended that officials be designated by Resolution; the City Clerk may sign and assume the duty but it was felt that in certifying receipt of materials ordered it would be better for the purchasing official to confirm their receipt and payment of the bill. The Auditing and Accounting Committee approval still is required. The pending motion carried.

A letter from City Engineer, Jack UJilson, was read regarding study of Main Street Parking, a close surveillance over the P.M. parking restriction included volume studies and parking availability study.

Parking studies signify adequate parking is avai.I,� I_s both on and off-street in the vicinity of the restricted area. The Engineering Derart!1ent- recommended enforcement of the restriction until traffic volumes are reduced to a point where one lane will suffice, and in order to accomplish same a north-south arterial Lc-.- better orbetter access to the freeway from the industrial area may be needed, which the North Renton Interchange and Logan-Smithers arterial might provide. A reper-t dated 5-5. 63 yead , and Courtesy Notice placed on vehicles to advise of the prohibited parking was attatcl -d along with Police Department Officer's Report by Captain Ernie Henry of the Traffic Division. The Report outlined procedures of enforcement since institution of the restriction ;ith recommendations for additional control by operation of traffic signal at 4th and Main on automatic cycle.

COMMUNICATIONS: A letter from City Attorney Shellan, directed to the Mayor and City Clerk, submitted contract forms from Johnston-Campanella and Company, Architects, and recommended review of same to be sure all pertinent documents of every type and nature are included. It was suggested also that prior to commencement of any work and at time of contract execut...a the performance bond and various insurance policies listed in the Supplementary General Conditions be submitted to him for inspection. The City should be named as an additional insured on the insurance policies for public liability and property damage with evidence of same to be furnished the City Attorney.

Carried. -1- 285 Minutes of the Renton City Council Meeting June 28, 1965 COMMUNICATIONS:(cont.) A letter from City Attorney Shellan reported on Petition to vacate alley adjoining Tracts 2 and 3, Second Supplemental Plat of Renton Shorelands, that the plat filed with the Commissioner of Public Lands on May 10, 1963, stated in the certification that the streets shown thereon were dedicated to the public forever and for all purposes not inconsistent with the use thereof for public highway pur- poses. It was therefore assumed from the foregoing language that any vacation would terminate the use of said right-of-way for a highway purpose and a reversion would undoubtedly occur to the State unless the State is willing to release and waive such reversion. It was suggested that no hearing date be set on the matter and the Attorneys will write to the Commissioner of Public Lands in Olympia inquiring whether the State would release its reversionary interest so that the vacation petition could be processed. Letters read from the Mayor and City Engineer,submitted ' an Agreement between the State Highway Commission and the City of Renton concerning the North Renton Inter- change. Basic changes were made regarding financial participation of the City in Part II, paragraph (b) which states that"The City shall pay to the State at the time of the contract award, a sum of $400,000 less the amount the City has actually expended in acquiring the rights of way. . . .", to satisfaction of the Mayor and City Engineer. A second change indicates that the State will design the bridge which is an integral part of the western approach to the Interchange. It was recommended, subject to final approval by the City Attorney,that the Council authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the agreement on behalf of -the City. Moved by Hulse, seconded by Poli, to concur in the recommendations of the Mayor and City Engineer. Carried. A letter from Mayor Custer submitted Quit Claim Deed from the Pacific Coast Railway Company_ conveying unto the City an easement for street, utility and related purposes concerning dedication of a, portion of Houser Way from 4th Avenue North to 8th Avenue North. It was recommended that acceptance of the Deed be withheld pending removal by Puget Power Com. of two poles from the roadway and the City Engineer has questioned the condition of the asphalt paving in the area. Moved by Trimm, seconded Poli, to concur with the recommendations of the Mayor. The motion carried.

A letter from Mr. Orrin Madison advised of destruction of 20 trees of cherries by birds and expressed his displeasure at not being able to destroy them inasmuch as City Ordinance prohibits noise and firearm discharge. Mr. Madison requested to withdraw his properties from the City. Moved by Garrett, seconded by Perry, that the City Clerk advise Mr. Madison that upon proper application the .City will consider his request. Carried. -2- 286 Minutes of the Renton City Council Meeting June 28, 1965 COMMUNICATIONS: (cont.) A letter from City Attorney Shellan reported that Quit Claim Deed from the State of !1ashington to the City of Renton,covering 1,553 sq. ft. of property near Houser Way and Mill, contains a very definite reversion clause applicable immediately upon ending the public use of the subject property. Therefore, it is very doubtful that -the City could use said property for purposes of exchange or sale since said transactions would not constitute "use Ior public purposes". It undoubtedly could be used for parking and storage in which event the deed should be accepted. If the primary intent is to use it for later sale or exchange with private owners, then the deed in its present form is unacceptable unless the State agrees to delete its reversionary interest. Moved by Morris, seconded by Bruce, to defer action until committee reports later in the meeting. Carried. A letter read from J. David Jensen, Planning Director, advised that the Planning Commission at its public hearing of June 23, 1965 considered the Final Plat of Hill- crest Lane and recommended its adoption by the Council.

A letter from Baird M. Bardarson, M.D., President, Renton Sailing Club, acknowledged a letter from Mayor Custer regarding hazardous activities at Lake Washington Park and implied revocation action on temporary use permit. The Sailing Club Board wished to report the success of its junior sailing program in teaching 160 boys and girls the elements of sailing, respect of water and survival techniques in the water and that the adult evening program is also receiving enthus- iastic response. Both instructors are qualified life guards and one in addition has both a [eater Safety Instructor rating from the Red Cross and Aquatic Administrator from the Boy Scouts and"no swimming"restrictions have been enforced during the school hours. It was noted that prior to the sailing classes activity a count revealed 50 people on the beach and some ten water ski boats using the area as well as private vehicles whose owners were fishermen which problems did not result from the sailing clubs program. The Park Department had been informed immediately of the defective lock and the Club installed new locks giving duplicate keys to the Park Department. The Sailing Club feelsit has conscientiously lived up to the terms of the Permit and appreciates the trust placed in it by the City. Officials of the City were in- vited to -the facility to get a first hand knowledge of the service to the youth of community offered by this worthwhile program which was deemed an appropriate use of public property. Moved by Garrett, seconded by Perry, to refer the letter to the Mayor for what- ever action he decides might be appropriate. Mayor Custer reported that the City has posted no swimming signs to replace those which had been removed and new signs had been posted at the entrance to the park advising that the area was in development stage and not open to unauthorized persons or vehicles. The creek area has been cleaned up which runs into the lake and it is hoped that the problems will be soon solved now pending. Poli inquired whether posting The area absolves the City from responsibility. City Attorney Shellan advised that the City in posting notices has given warning to the public and if they still go in they are trespassing. The signs strictly serve notice that this is not open to the public generally and the City has done its duty which is about all that can be done. The pending motion was subsequently carried. PROCLAMATION: A Proclamation was read wherein Mayor Custer declared the week of July 4-10, 1965 as Safe Boating Week.

Moved by Schellert, seconded by Delaurenti, to concur. Carried. Recommended that the insurance coverage now carried on the City Hall Building and contents, be renewed as it now stands in approximate amount of $125,000 on the Building and $100,000 on contents. Moved by Bruce, seconded by Delaurenti, to concur in the recommendation of the Property Committee. Carried. Moved to concur with the Library Board recommendation to accept the low bid of Alton V. Phillips Company in the sum of $327,400 plus alternates of $4,530 for construction of the new library. Moved by Perry, seconded by Poli, to concur in the recommendation of the Committee of the Whole. Dahlquist spoke against the motion inasmuch as the bid was in excess of the means provided for the construction,and she did not feel the architectural agree- ment had been met, the: eosts being over $325,000.00'. Discussion ensued and it was pointed out that the amount the city would have available was $325,000 and $60,000 for the building and fixtures and furnishings and then the city added $15,000 for the foot- bridge and it is a matter of discretion of the Council as to whatever action it wishes to take, it being evident the' bid amount is somewhat over the estimate of $325000 for the building. The only thing, however, which may not be met within the contract obligations is the fact that architectural fees were to be included in the estimated amount of building costs. The pending motion was subsequently carried. The Committee of the Whole recommended that the funding of -the $151,000 for the footbridge to be constructed at the new library site, be referred to the Ways and Means Committee, and Law and Ordinance Committee with power to act. Moved by Perry, seconded by Bruce, to concur in the recommendation of the Committee of the Whole.

Councilman Pedersen reported, regarding request of the Boeing Company to riprap the river bank that they need to extend -the paint shed 20 ft. which would take in part of the roadway and it was requested that they be allowed to relocate the road. Dis- vow cussion ensued disclosing that this is merely an access road and not a dedicated right of way. Additional plans include putting a steel guard rail on -the building side and it was recommended that the matter be referred to the City Attorney for necessary docu- ments and Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to sign, City Engineer- to supervise.. If the area was a part of the Waterway Commission dedication and if the U.S. Corps of Engineers approval had been considered, were inquiries.it was pointed out that the distance of only about 100 ft. would be involved.

' Councilman Delaurenti, Chairman of the Police and License Committee, submitted a letter from the City Attorney regarding action regulating barber colleges pursunnt to Petition from Barbers protesting such an operation in Renton. It was ,pointed out that barber colleges, similar to beauty schools are regulated by the State under its police power and certain requirements as to students, course of instruction , size and related matters are covered by the license issued by the State and the City would have no right to impose any other or different regulations under its police power.

Mayor Custer at this time offered congratulations to Councilman Hulse who became a father-in-law while on vacation through marriage of his daughter. Councilman Schellert called attention of the Council to an article on Page 65 of the current . Western Cities Magazine regarding City of Renton Traffic Signal Maintenance program,. The maintenance truck and Mayor Custer, Assistant City Engineer Bennett, Chuck Scoby and Elmer Shaver were pictured and a program of protective maintenance which might be of interest to other cities Was outlined by Mayor Custer and accompanied the pictures. Moved by Poli, 'seconded by Perry, that the City Clerk direct a letter to Mr. Madison advising that the Council takes appropriate action on all matters within its powers but that his problem with birds destroying his crops is not within the scope of duties of the Council. It was suggested the letters be combined that the Council requests be sent to Mr. Madison regarding deleting his property from the city and the problem of birds. The motion carried. Mr. Johnston, of Johnston-Campanella, Architects, upon the Mayors invitation for audience comment, addressed the Council stating that the architectural trade is no more exacting than are, law or medicine. The architect does not build the building nor do the bidding but designs the building and submits to general contractors to bid and if a bid comes in within 10% of the estimated cost it is felt to be a good bid. The library bid awarded was within 70, and it is the Council's decision to make on whether to accept the provisions within the proposed contract and whether to accept bids or ask the architects to withdraw and resubmit for another bid call. It is always hoped the bids will come within the budgeted allowance. The Library Board selected certain furniture and interior and Mr. Johnston felt thatihis possibly may have been changed but his firm had felt that it had done a good job and not a poor job and that they had stayed within the provisions of the contract agreement. Mrs. Wiberg, member of the Library Board, advised that the Board has had wonderful cooperation from the architects and city officials with whom it dealt and the feeling has been that good judgment had been used when hiring the architects. They included things they could have done without, such as the balcony but it adds to the appearance and makes room for expansion at a later time. Heatproof glass was not necessary but for the minimum extra cost it would be foolish not to have it. The Council approved the higher bid and the Library Board appreciates all that the council and city officials have done to help push the library through and it was not felt that the architects need any defense. Mrs. Dahlquist stated the Council had a contract drawn up to protect the city against over spending and yet the bid went over and that it was her belief that the Library Board would come to the Council for more money before the completion of the library and she therefore does not feel the contract was fulfilled. Mr. Johnston attributed some of the cost to the building being over the river, and the Flood Control agency requiring the extra depth after having already given permit for piers although the use of the area over the river possible contributes to a sevings to the taxpayers of some $70,000 - $80,000 which is the probable worth of the land. Upon inquiry Mr. Johnston advised the cost of the building is to be $17.98 per square rt. Mr. Shane again commented that he believes the sale of city property should Le put out on public bid and not sold by negotiation. He knows of several individuals whi would be interested in the bidding and he would submit a certified check himself in tha amount of the price asked. He felt publicppro rty should be advertised for sale. Mrs. Clymer of the School Board felt the Tibrary bid if within the 7% of estimate wu; a vcry nood bid. -6- 9 1 290 Minutes of the Renton City Council Meeting 6-28-65 AUDIENCE COMMENTS:(cont.) Mr. C. A. Krier of 8633 South 127th Street advised that a TV Cable has been installed in front of his residence which obstructs the view from his front window. The cable had been taken down once but has now been replaced. Moved by Morris, seconded by Poli , to refer the matter to the City Engineer for investigation as to whether the installation is in compliance with State and local building codes. It was pointed out that the Franchise Agreement requires any extension of the cable to be approved by the Engineering Department. After further ! discussion regarding participation by the telephone company in the installations question was called for on the pending motion which subsequently carried. Councilman Schellert announced that the new ordinance regulating encroaching signs will be placed on second and final reading at the next council meeting. Thanks were extended to the newspapers for their coverage last week on the proposal. As there was no further business to come before the Council and no further comments from the audience, it was moved by Morris, seconded by Perry, to adjourn. The motion carried and the meeting was adiourned at 9:40 p.m. There were 23 visitors in the Council Chambers. D. W. Custer, Mayor Helmie W.

City Clerk Nelson reported a meeting of the Annexation Review Board on June 24, 1965 on the proposed annexation of the I. J. Brcdell et al properties, also known as property in vicinity of Pauls Maplewood Addition. The Clerk read the findings that the annexation of this area to the City of Renton will be in the public interest and for the public welfare as well as in the best interest of the City and that it appro the annexation fil'x, its findings hereby with the Renton City Council for further action as provided by law„ Moved by Schellert, seconded by Hulse, to accept the findings of the Annexation Review Board and that July 26, 1965 be set for hearing on the matter. Carried. A letter from City Engineer, Jack Wilson, requested authorization to call for bids on installation of a galvanized wire mesh cyclone fence around the Springbrook Watershed. July 26th was recommended date for opening of bids. Moved by Poli, seconded by Delaurenti, to concur in the recommendations of the City Engineer. Carried. A letter was read from City Clerk, Helmie Nelson, requesting authorization to transfer and appropriate into Account 7150, 111965 Water and Sewer Construction Fund" the sum of $500,000.00 which is now budgeted in Waterworks Utility Fund 7120, to-wit: CAPITAL OUTLAY: Acct. 606, Machinery & Equipment, Supply line from Mt.

Moved by Schellert, seconded by Morris, to concur with the City Clerk's request with referral to the Law and Ordinance Committee for proper Ordinance creating said fund and transferring money thereto. Carried. A letter from Mr. Chet Williams offered the sum of $5.00 to buy and remove residence from the premix,;^ at 210 Mill Street, leaving only the concrete foundation and basement. Mayor Custer reported that this offer was made by Mr. Williams with intent that the difference between the $10,000.00 purchase price to the City and.costs to Mr. Wms. for title reports, etc, of $76.15 would thereby be balanced out. This older residence was the family home and Mr. Williams wished to retain ownership for the sentimental values. Moved by Pedersen, seconded by Perry, to accept the offer made by Mr. Chet Williams. Schellert inquired whether bond shouldn't be required to insure that the site be left in acceptable condition after the building has been removed. City Attorney Shellan replied that a Hold Harmless Agreement should be executed with removal of the building under supervision of the Building Director and the City Engineer and that some evidence of liability insurance should be posted which would be automatically taken care of if the building were to be moved by a house mover as our House Moving Ordinance so stipulates. Garrett stated that some time stipulation should be made as to when the building is going to be moved and questioned whether the sale was general public knowledge so that another offer for more money might not be made at the next meeting and a deliberation should be• r-iale as to whether to accept the first offer or the best offer. Question was called for on pending motion and the Chair ruled the motion failed by majority No vote. Moved by Bruce, seconded by Poli, that informal bids be called for sale and removal of the subject building from the premises at 210 Mill Street. Carried.

The pending motion carried. -2- 293 Minutes of the Renton City Council Meeting 7-12-1965 COMMUNICATIONS: (cont.) A letter was read from City Attorney Shellan reporting regarding Petition for vacation of alley adjoining Tracts 2 and 3, Second ' appleme ntal Plat of Renton Shorelands, that a letter from Mr. M. E. Bowler, Supervisor, Civil Engineering Division, Dept, of Natural Resources advised that it will not be necessary in this case to enter into the State vacation procedure but that the City may proceed -through its regular vacation procedure, by reason of the Shorelands Plat. If found to be in the best interest of the public any vacation ordinance will need to be furnished to the State. Moved by Schellert, seconded by Hulse, to refer the matter to the Law and Ordinance Committee for a date for hearing. ..�. Moved by Trimm, seconded by Perry, to amend the motion to add the date of August 16, 1965 for the hearing. The amendment to the motion carried and subse- quently the original motion as amended. Carried. A letter read from the Housing and Home Finance Agency, L. R. Durkee, Director for Northwest Operations, reported determination upon review of Mayor Custer's letter, -that there is no similarity in the design between the library facility planned with the $11,200 advance and the facility now being constructed and that little if any, of the original planning was of value in the re-design. Accordingly, necessary steps were being taken to relieve the City of the liability for repayment of the advance. Councilman Schellert expressed thanks to the Mayor for pursuance of this matter and Mayor Custer advised that this was official notification that the debt is now cancelled. A letter from City Attorney Shellan reported that pursuant to various telephone conversations with the attorney for the Boeing Company the Boeing Board of Directors has approved purchase in the amount of $55,000.00,as previously approved by the Council, of the Renton Sewage Treatment Plant site. The City Attorney advised that the necessary instrument of conveyance and Ordinance are now being prepared. A letter from Mr. Charles F. Shane advised of interest in purcha sinr' the sewage -treatment plant site and requested that the disposition of the site be handled by sale at public auction which he feels is a method fair to all persons interested and which, as a result of competitive bidding,will realize the highest price for the City. A bid of $75,000.00 was submitted and a Cashier's Check in the sum of $2,500.00 was attached as a good faith deposit, balance of $72,500.00 to be paid within ten days of notice of acceptance of this offer. The City shall have the right to remove shrubs fencing and equipment within a reasonable time. The law firm of Dobson, Houser and Dobson, had been retained to represent Mr. Shane and Mr. Dobson was present in the audience. Councilman Garrett inquired of City Attorney Shellan as to course of action the Council might follow. City Attorney Shellan advised that the City has the right or option under the law, whenever it has declared property -to be surplus, to either negotiate a sale or advertise for bids. In this particular case the City Council, sometime in April, voted this property to be surplus and no longer needed for public use and authorized it to be disposed of on the appraised terms. The City had negotiated with Boeing and morally both parties have committed themselves to the sale. Legally the sale is not consumated until the instrument of conveyance is properly executed. Now the City has received a tentative offer by Charles Shane for $75,000 which is higher than the City appraisal, The Council has several options it may con- sider. 1. It has the right to defer any action on -the matter. An ordinance has now been prepared on the sale but the Council does have the right to defer. 2. The Council has the right, if it so desires, to request Mr. Shane to secure a letter of credit from the bank to show that they are holding a sum of money for him to apply on the purchase. 3. In considering which route to take the Council may consider what the property is going to be used for and what effect is will have on the city generally aside from the difference in money. In other words the Council should consider whether Boeing Company will make a more beneficial contribution to the City in general and support it better taxwise and on t1e other hand whether Mr. Shane wishes to use it for ... industrial purposes, for investment or possible resale and make a decision accordingly in the manner it feels is of over all benefit and best for the city. The Council �..ay negotiate and does not have to call for bids. The property may also be leased with economic return and renegotiating the lease every five years or so. It is up to the Council to decide which way it wants to go. Councilman Perry inquired of Mr. Dobson whether he knew the purpose for which Mr. Shane intended to use the property. Mr. Dobson replied that he did not know but that the good faith deposit evidenced Mr. Shanes interest in the property and it was felt that the City should realize as much money as possible and if the Boeing offer for less is to be considered the people should know that Boeing is being subsidized. -3- X94 Minutes of the Renton City Council Meeting 7-12-1965 COMMUNICATIONS: (cont.) Sewage Disposal Plant Site Moved by Garrett, seconded by Hulse, that action be deferred for the present time and Mr. Shane be requested to produce his letter of credit substantiating availability of money to complete the transaction. Councilman Pedersen advised of presence of Boeing representatives who might wish to discuss the matter. Mr. Sargent, Manager Facilities Engineering, The Boeing Company advised of intent to incorporate this property into their planned expansion program with a growing work force and increased airplane sales demanding additional space. Probably it would be used for parking at present and eventually for some other purpose. Since the property was appraised by the Boeing appraiser and the- Cit appraisers and the offer meets the price and since both parties had agreed there_is a moral obligation, and Boeing Company banks on that. The pending motion carried. The City Clerk read a revised letter of intent to annex certain properties to the City of Renton-described as lying South of South 180th Street and West of Spring- brook Road. The City Engineer's letter was read reporting that the signatures on the letter represent 100% of the assessed valuation of the property requesting annexa- tion, also being signed by the future purchaser of the property. The parcel 'contains approximately 1.6 acres and has an assessed value of $500.00. Mr. Harry Benton and Mr. Ernie Coleman were present to answer any questions and it was pointed out that the property will be tax exempt, being owned by the UGN. Upon inquiry by Councilman Schellert, Mr. Benton affirmed that the pro-rata share of bonded indebtedness, if any, would be willingly assumed by the property owners. Moved-by Schellert, seconded by Pedersen, to accept the letter of intent and authorize circulation of the proper petition. Carried. Mr. Benton submitted the Petition signed by owners of not less than 759 in value according to assessed valuation of the property requested to be annexed under provisions of R.C.W. 35.13.130 as amended by Chapter 282, Laws of 1961, which was read by the City Clerk.

Moved by Garrett, seconded by Poli, to concur in the Planning Commission recom- mendation.. ;;.:wiry followed as to why the Commission continues to allow such use when it does not conform with the Code and Mr. Jensen advised that it was deemed to be a reasonable use and is merely replacing a prior sign and that it is consistent with uses by others in the area. Eventually when new construction occurs, such as at . the T. & R. Market and United Rcntajl and the Revocable Permits are cancelled, and zoning will be conforming, but at present competitive advantage would exist if the sign were not approved. The pending motion carried. Martin Healy, Appl. No. V-243-65, Variance request -to divide platted property into two parcels located on Talbot Hill on west side of Lake Street.

A letter was read from Mayor Custer reporting action toward a final agree- ment with the two railroad companies to enable the Council to proceed with a permanent entrance to Lake Washington Park. The Pacific Coast Railway ,as per prior easement has extended right of entry to the City and several meetings have been held in the past in an attempt to finalize the crossing and access. The City at present does not have adequate funds to complete the project per the railroad's terms which would include filling, grading and paving of a roadway from Lake Washing- ton Blvd. into the park and installation and maintenance of a signal warning system and header and flange rails at an approximate cost of $25,000.00. It was suggested that the matter now be referred to the appropriate committee to begin final negotia- tions for a permanent access to -the park. This is a Park Board priority item.

The motion was seconded by Pedersen and carried. Councilman Delaurenti, Chairman of the Special Power Rate Committee, submitted his Committee report that the preliminary objectives of the rate study by Clarence Unnevehr, rate expert, have been met within the period specified by the Council. On the basis of the study a pattern of rate zones would seem most equitable for all customers In the company's service area, with Renton within the most favorable rate zone, justify- ing the 5% differential extended to Renton for the past months. It appears that a re- duction in the end steps of the principal residential schedules would be justified and is anticipated that further adjustments may be made as a result thereof. Mr. Unnevehr is finalizing his results and the Company must submit an analysis of its financial position due to the recent loss of the Baker River power plant, upon the conclusion of which new rate schedules will be filed by the Puget Sound Power and Light Company, not later than September 30th, with the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission.: Discussion ensued regarding zone method of providing for rates and rejection thereof by -the Commission previously. Mr. Carter of P.S.P. & L. advised the previous plan had been prepared by their own staff members and the Commission felt this was inadequate, thus, the subsequent employment of Mr. Unnevehr and .justification of the division rates, and zone method application. Councilman Poli, Chairman of the Light & Power Committee, presented a communi- cation which was read, from the City Engineer, Jack Wilson, reporting relative to TV Cable on South 127th Street West of 87th Avenue South.

Investigation disclosed that one of the residents had requested service. The Company had been instructed to remove the cable but had since secured franchise to operate and was _requested to use such a location so as to minimize any obstruction of view and is now in accordance with the requirements. Mr. Bland of 8641 South 127th Street stated that the cable obstructs the view from his residence. City Engineer Wilson stated that the power company requires the line to be 4 ft. below its lines and that he will investigate further for possible relocation of the line. Mr. Bland inquired as to how he might get the lines removed. City Attorney Shellan was asked what the council action might be inasmuch as the TV Cable Company is in compliance with requirements of the permit. Mr. Shellan stated that the City Engine could deny any new additional locations the man may apply for but could not arbitrari1 nor capricl3usly find the use unreasonable when it complies with the franchise regulations. Moved by Garrett, seconded by Perry, that the City Engineer make a new survey to determine solution to satisfy the people who are complaining and those who scant the service. Carried.

A letter was read from Mayor Custer recommending consideration of the matters in the letter of the Railroad Company, specifically with reference to the railroad company statement that no title insurance will be furnished and that taxes will be pro-rated as of date of purchase. City Attorney Shellan had suggested tg the Mayor that council take action on these items and the Mayor now recommended that where property involved will require a $48,000.00 payment by the City, the Title Insurance be required. Also, that the City not pay the railroad's 1965 property taxes. The City is tax exempt so the railroad should pay the balance for this year and the property will be tax free next year. Other portions of the railroad company letter dealt with acceptance by the City of certain street improvements recently undertaken by the Rwy. Co. and it was suggested that the City Engineer be requested to provide information on condition of the streets and liklihood of acceptance by the City.

Day, President, requested Authorization to allow. attendance of the Airport Director and interested Board Members at the annual meeting of the International Northwest Aviation Council to be held in Portland Oregon, September 23, 24 and 25, 1965, with reimbursement as provided by the Code. These meetings attract representatives from the Northwest States and Canadian Provinces and it appears-likely that the meeting could be held in this area if sufficient interest is shown as the 1967 meeting is scheduled to be held in Washington. Moved by Hulse, seconded by Bruce, that authorization be granted. Carried,. Letters from City Attorney Shellan, dated June 30, and July 16 were read reporting,relative to Boeing proposed relocation of perimeter access road and rip rapping and excavating of portion of Cedar River, that the road is not dedi- cated as a public road but is simply a service access road primarily for the tenants of the airport, and that he is not aware of any legal problem once the Council approves the relocation. All costs and expenses in connection with such improvement are to be paid by The Boeing Company and all plans should have prior written approval of the City Engineer with no work to be started until the necessary clearance and approval have been secured by Boeing from the various governmenta agencies. The proposed Permit Agreement was attached and it was presumed that the additional area to be occupied by Boeing would be covered in a separate agreement with the Airport Board.

Wiberg, Secretary, Renton Public Library Board of Trustees was read acknowledging receipt of letter from landscape architects, Richard Haag Associates.

Mayor Custer requested a legal opinion on this proposal and City Attorney Shellan stated that assuming the motion was a serious one it would be out of order and illegal recalling his opinion of last Monday urging ; to defer action and that the Council would have had to have an offer and an acceptance before there could be a forfeit and although there was an offer, the City did not accept it so -there could be no forfeit. Councilman Garrett stated that in such case he would withdraw his motion and submit another. Mayor Custer declared the motion out of order and it was moved by Garrett, seconded by Poli, that the money be returned to Mr. Shane. Councilman Schellert inquired regarding communication on the agenda to follow and whether it would affect his vote. The letter was from Mayor Custer and was read by the Clerk.

Councilman Garrett submitted for reading a letter from Mr. Henry W.

This Committee will meet during the Annual Congress of Cities in Detroit, Michigan on July 24th. Mayor Custer received an appointment from Mayor Maier as a members of the National League of Cities Committee on Housing and Urban Development. Councilman Perry made inquiry of the City Attorney as to how the Council might avoid re-occurrence of the offer to purchase properties when negotiations are already in progress, suggesting an Ordinance. City Attorney Shellan stated an Ordinance was not needed as the Council is covered by law but a contract has to be entered into before any forfeit penalties can be enforced. Then, if there was failure to go through with the transaction the forfeit could be imposed. The Council could have deferred action on the matter and the problem would have re- solved itself as the offer was withdrawn.

Moved by Hulse, seconded by Bruce, that the request be granted. Carried. A report from the City Engineer on the petition for the formation of a local improvement district to provide sanitary sewers near Longacres was read, to the effect that the petition represents only 23.0/o of total frontage of the proposed I .I.D. He noted, however, that Longacres has expressed interest in sanitary sewers which would bring the percentage' up to 75%. Therefore, it was the recommendation of the Engineering Department that the City pass a resolution declaring its intent to create a Local Improvement District in this area. Moved by Poli, seconded by Perry, that the Council concur in the recommendation of the City Engineer. Councilman Garrett expressed the opinion that the City should not proceed with the creation of a local inprovement district by resolution until such time as assurance is received that at least 75% are in favor of this improvement, and further noting that he would favor a petition containing the legally required ownership. A vote onrthe pending motion' carried. The Clerk read a Petition for creation of a Local Improvement District for construction of water mains, signed by owners of property adjacent to the Cedar River and Pacific Coast Railroad right-of-way in the City of Renton, between the northwesterly and southeasterly boundaries of Cedar River Summer Rome Sites. Moved by Delaurenti, seconded Schellert, that the petition be referred to the CITY ENGINEER to determine the validity. Carried. A letter from the Mayor's Office submitted a proposed agreement with the Pacific Coast Railroad granting the City a Temporary Permit for crossing of the railroad tracks at the entrance to Lake Washington Beach Park. At this time a communication was presented to the Clerk for reading, from the City Attorney, regarding this same matter, wherein it was recommended for consideration of the Council that certain modifications and amendments be made to the proposed agreement; Mr. Shellan noted that Paragraph 4 is unacceptable from a legal standpoint, since to all intents and purposes, it makes the City an insurer for all injuries and damages even thou,yh caused solely by the railroad. Section 5, was likewise unacceptable, since the City's insurance carrier probably would not be interested to insure the railroads for their own negligence for the limits specified, not to mention the possible increase in premium costs to the City. Section 6 would require the City to 'pay the railroads any cost of maintenance required to said crossing' , which did not seem equitable since, if the City were to pay any costs, such charges should be limited to those reasonably required by the City's usage of said crossing. A 30 day cancellation clause was recommended, rather than 10 days. Mr. Shellan reminded `che Council that at the time the Lake Washington Beach property was purchased the City did not acquire landlocked property and that at least an implied asement existed for the last ten years, more or less, which allowed the City access to its property. Moved �y Garrett, seconded by Hulse, that the proposed permit, with a copy of the City Attorney's communication, be transmitted to Mr. Eckart, President of the Pacific Coast Railroad, to express the feelings of the City. Discussion followed and the City Attorney again pointed out that the document under consideration is only a temporary permit, and if the City were unsuccessful in securing an acceptable agreement it would be his recommendation to continue as has been done during the past ten years. Vote on the pending motion carried. A letter from City Engineer Wilson was read recommending payment of Progress Estimate No. 4 for engineering services by Cornell, Howland, Hayes and Merryfield on the Water System Study covering the period of June 26, 1965 to July 27, 1965, in the sum of $187.00; Moved by Poli, seconded by Schellert, to concur in the recommendation of the City Engine Carried. The Clerk read City Engineer Wilson's report relative to the work completed by the Electric Construction Company on the Traffic Signal System at Bronson Way, lst Avenue North and Park Street. This work was accepted by the Engineering Department on August ll; 1965 and acceptance by the Council was recommended as of this date with payment of the final construction costs of $7,058.72, less the retained 105y, of $705.87, due at this time $6,352.85. Moved by Schellert, seconded by Poli, to concur in the recommendation of the City Engineer. Carrd. ie -2- 4)i+ 5 Minutes of Renton City Council Meeting (cont.) 8-16-65 CO','N1UNICATIOi\TS: (cont.)

Moved by Bruce, seconded by Hulse, to concur in the recommendation of the Library Board. Considerable discussion ensued relative to the amount previously paid to Johnston-Campanella and the balance remaining in relationship to the arount of work left to be completed. It was then moved by Pedersen, seconded by Poli, that this matter be referred to the ACCOUNTING AND AUDITING COMMITTEE for review. Carried. A letter from Albert Reisberg, Guilding Director was read by the Clerk requesting that a Revokable Permit be issued to cover the sign to be hung in Front of the U. S. Navy Recruiting Office at 3062B Wells Street, Renton, Washington. It was noted that the ' clearance co('..? is an 8 foot minimum, however the existing Army sign adjacent to this office is less than the required 8 foot clearance, therefore this permit should allow a similar 7 foot 8 inch clearance. Moved by Schellert, seconded by Poli, to concur in the recommondation of the Building Director. It was noted that there is no potential hazard involved with this sign and that the sign permit fee would be charged in accordance with the City ordiiiance. A vote on the motion carried.

Heating Equipment HEARING: Prcposed amendment to Chapter 7, "Zoning", Title 4, "Building Regulations" to establish a Manufacturing Park District designated as M-P This being the date set, the hearing was declared open. The Mayor called for audience comments on this matter and there being none, he inquired of the City Clerk if there had been any written communications, to which the Clerk replied there were none. At this time the Clerk read the recommendation of the Planning Commission from their Public Hearing pf July 28th. Councilman Schellert felt that many persons who would be affected by the new classification, as indicated at the Planning Commission hearing, should present their views to Council.

HEARING: Appeal for Acceptance of Variance - William R. Knedler This being the date set, the hearing was declared open. Upon inquiry the Clerk advised the only communication was the letter appealing the Planning Commission decision from Mr. Knedler. At this time the Mayor invited audience comments and Mr. Knedler introduced himself and explained his request noting that instead of the required 25' clearance he would have only 19.8 feet. However his structures as planned would involve 28% of the total land whereas 35% was permissible. Upon inquiry, Mr. Jensen advised that ordinance Minutes of the Renton City Council Meeting (cont.) 8-23-65 HEARING: (cont.) provides for the issuance of a variance wherein strict application would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary hardship that would deprive the owner reasonable use of property involved. This particular request appeared to be more of a convenience, desirable from an appearance standpoint, but did not fulfill the requirements for a variance as set forth in the Code. Councilman Morris noted that several Council Members had looked over the situation and he felt that due to the location of the sliding glass door which preven. 1 Mr. Knedler from changing the size of the patio, that in fact it was somewhat of a hard- ship. The adjoining property owners have approved this addition, and will be in no way, injurious to the neighborhood. It would appear tErt in the case of an emergency that the remaining 19.8 feet would allow ample room for any fire truck or other vehicle. Councilmen, Perry and Pedersen also advised that they had looked over the property and the plans were very fine and will enhance the area. Councilman Pedersen noted that it would be a very fine improvement and asked Mr. Knedler if he had a copy of the plans that could be shoran to the Council to help them make a determination. After the plans had been reviewed, it was moved by Morris, seconded by Perry, that the hearing be closed. Carried. Moved by Morris, seconded by Perry, that the Variance be granted. Carried.

This Act was previously adopted by the State Legislature and imposes certain restrictions on the posting of signs in and near highway rights-of-way. The specific problems encountered by the Duldi.ng .Department emanate from the location of several signs in the City within State Highwa­ rights-of-way.

Mr. Norman Olsen, 547 H Street, inquired as to the purpose of the proposed acquisition by the City, stating he felt that the areas were much too small to be suitable for either parks or playfields, and he understood this was also the feeling of the Park Department. Discussion ensued with questions raised by the Council members relative to costs of acquisitions, the urgency of this matter in respect to the extent it would cut into other budgeted programs, and whether assurance had been given by the Library and Park Boards on the desirability for development.

Amending Ch. 7 (Zoning) of Title 4, Ordinance 1628, establishing a Manufacturing Park District. (Subparagraphs 2 of Sec. 4.736.030 and 5 of Sec. 4.736.030) This being the date set, the hearing was declared open. Mayor Custer inquired whether or not communications had been received and City Clerk Nelson reported she had received none. Audience comment in favor of the Amendment was invited at this' time. Mr. Clark Eckart, representing the Great Northern Railroad Company, stated that whether the rail- road is for or against the proposal depends upon circumstances.. Their interest in the proposed reclassification stems from anticipation of requesting some M-H zoning after further study of prospective industry and location desires.. Attention was called to a format study of the proposed draft and preparation of some modifications which the Council was requested to consider. As now drawn the plans call for 60 ft. setback and 10 ft. landscaped area with remaining 50 ft. to be used only for auto parking. It was the recommendation that a portion of the parking area, possibly the rear 20 ft. be used for loading zone only. The second recommendation was that the strip between the curb and 'property line also be required to be landscaped by the owner, otherwise, under present plans, you.have a paved street area with curb line but dirt or gravel area between this and the landscaping. One other matter referred to by Mr. Eckart was the storage of outside materials, the entire area being permitted this use at present. It was suggeste that outside storage be limited to 25% of the area, the classification supposed to be high class industrial zoning. �N1 Mayor Custer invited other comment favorable and against the Zoning and as there were no further remarks action of the Council was invited. Moved by Schellert, seconded by Perry, that the proposed changes outlined by W . Eckart be referred to the Planning; COmmiyre.e for recommendation and that the hearing be continued for one week.

It was suggested by Councilman Hulse that the Fire and Water Committee be . prepared to advise the Council if every*nn budgetwise is being done in regard to the fire rating. Mayor Custer informed the Council that addition of a fire alarm system would likely allow a Grade 4 rating which was confirmed by Assistant Fire Chief Ashurst who reported review of the report shows the City is only 117 points from the upgrade at present. Councilman Schellert reported that the current actuarial survey conducted by Marsh & McLenpan Company has found the City's Firemen's Pension Fund to be sound actuarily, which few cities in the state can say. In 1961 the State Legislature imposed laws obligating the pension funds which most cities were not prepared to adequately finance. Renton, however, had put enough money into the fund so that it remained actuarily sound despite the additional burden. Mr. Schellert pointed out that $82,729.00 is the amount needed to keep the fund sound and noted that the Mayor has provided adequately in the Preliminary Budget. The Treasurer was given r credit which was due for securing very good interest rates on investments, greatly benefitting the fund.

Housing Authority of Renton Proposed Cooperative Agreement for Low Rent Housing. This being the date set, the hearing was declared open. A letter was read from the Housing Authority, Tillie Cole, Executive Director, advising that the Board of Commissioners of the Housing Authority will seek and obtain prior consent to the establishment of any site which may be selected for the proposed 50 units of low rent housing as proposed. Audience comment on the matter was invited and as there was none it was moved by Poli, seconded by Pedersen, that the hearing be closed. Carried. Moved by Morris, seconded by Bruce, to refer the matter to the Lw and Ordinapce Committee for proper Resolution. Carried. 2. Proposed L.I.D. No. 253, Sanitary Sewers in vicinity of Longacres Mimi This being the date set, the hearing was declared open. A letter was read from City Engineer, Jack Wilson, advising that the Longacres Racetrack had been added to the L.I.D. upon request, .but that after additional study to reduce costs it was determined that cutting across the racetrack directly to the Metro manhole would result in $10,000.00 less cost for the racetrack. They then requested that they be deleted from the present L.I.D. and be allowed to install their own sewer at their expense. Since cost estimates will increase 25% on the North side with deletion of the racetrack the continuation of the present L.I.D. may not be feasible some of the owners however, are willing to proceed without Longacres . The owners may submit a new petition if they so desire, for their side only to be included in a new L.I.D. This involves revision of.the costs. They may delay action until next year with the thought that all of the area southerly of Grady Way and Westerly of the East Valley Highway might be incorporated into one L.I.D. Discussion ensued regarding validity of the L.I.D. in event Longacres is deleted and City Engineer Wilson pointed out that a couple others would not sign and there could be a 755yo protest. He indicated the proposed L.I.D. on a'.wall diagram and proposal of Longacres to cut across the property to existing manhole. Upon inquiry, there was no audience comment. Moved by Poli, seconded by Perry, to continue the hearing for one week. City-Attorney Shellan, upon inquiry, stated people had been advised of approximate cost of the project and they have a right to rely on this notice and that if Longacres is eliminated the costs will be revised, and they will need to be notified of the continued hearing. Motion carried. Continued Hearing on proposed amendment to Chapter 7, "Zoning", Title 4, "Building Regulations" to establish Manufacturing Park District (M-P) was introduced by Mayor Custer at this time and in regard for the new Planning Director, it was moved by Trimm, seconded by Schellert, that the hearing be continued to October 11, 1965. The motion carried. COMMUNICATIONS: A letter was read from the State of Washington Department of Natural Resources advising of the availability for purchase by the City of shorelands of Lake Washington created by harbor line revision under provisions of Chapter 139, Session Laws of 1963. Application was attached in event the City wishes to pursue the matter. Moved by Pedersen, seconded by Bruce, to refer the matter to the Property Com- mittee. Carried. A letter from Preston, Thorgrimson, Horowitz, Starin & Ellis, Attorneys At T,,a'.a, advised that on September 9th the Supreme Court affirmed the declaratory judg=4— of the King County Superior Court in Court Cause No. 37600, Continental Casual'-_ Co., vs. Municipality of Metropolitan Seattle, et al. The opinion upbolds the position; of the Municipality throughout the litigation that the contractor is ultimately responsible for damages caused by his construction activities, Damage suits in i_i:� City of Renton totaling approximately two and one-half million dollars will now proceed to trial. Metro will be a party to all of these actions and judgments may from time to time be entered against the Municipality. The effect of the holding of the Sup--reme Court is that the contractor, General Construction Company, must indemnify the Municipality for such judgments whenever damages were caused by construction actin, -les of the contractor. Moved by Morris, seconded by Hulse, to refer the communication to the City Attorney for reference. Carried. —� -2- 349 Minutes of the Renton City Council Meetings 9-20-65 COMMUNICATIONS: Cont. A letter from Northern Pacific Railway Company submitted Permit No. 96086 to cover the use of a portion of railway property in waterline installation to serve the Metro plant and subsequently to be turned over to the City. The City Attorney suggested that the various obligations specified in the permit should be assumed by Metro only,if it is primarily for serving the treatment plant and the City should be held harmless from any cost or liability. City Engineer Wilson reported that Metro has been so advised and it was moved by Morris, seconded by Schellert, to refer the matter to the City Attorney and City Engineer for report back. Carried. A letter from Mrs. E. H. Dahlstrom protested water bill being doubled and also the condition of water resulting from the location of the dead end line. A letter from Mayor Custer had acknowledged the letter, since there would be no meetings of the Council for three weeks due to the Labor Day holiday and 5th Monday, and referred the matter at this meeting to the Council. Discussion ensued regarding the double charges being due to the outside residency which Mrs. Dahlquist pointed out and expressed her desire to have the Fire and Water Committee reconsider Number cubic - ft. allowed under present rate structure and reduce the cost of non-resident service , thereby. Utility Supervisor Puhich advised the line had been taken care of today and upon inquiry advised that it would require about $10,000.00 to complete the circuit and that about 30 residents would be served in the area. A letter from Renton School District No. 403, Oliver M. Hazen, Sup't., expressed concern of the Board of Directors of the School District regarding the information that no sidewalk is planned for the North Renton Interchange. Hope was expressed that the City and State can work out some plan whereby a plan might be included in this important project. Moved by Hulse, seconded by Perry, that a copy of this letter be forwarded to the State Highway Department. Carried. A letter from Northern Pacific Railway Company in reply to City inquiry regarding the speed of trains in the Kennydale area, advised that continuous speed checks are to be continued and that inasmuch as the specific time or date was not given it would be difficult to ascertain which train may have been involved. A letter was read from Emilio Pierotti requesting Vacation of portion of 92nd Avenue South lying west of his property which is bounded by Rainier Avenue 92nd Avenue South and 7th Avenue, being triangular in shape. Moved by Schellert, seconded by Bruce, to refer the request to the City Engineer for verification of ownership. Carried. A letter from Albert S. Reisberg, Building Director, reported complaints regarding sub-standard buildings which are fire hazards, dilapidated and unfit for habitation which in some instances are being occupied. A list was attached and concurrence requested for action by the Building Director to effect the enforcements of the Uniform Building Code with further pursuance by Council as may be required. Discussion ensued and a letter from City Attorney Shellan was referred to wherein it was outlined that in proceeding with upgrading or abatement of sub-standard buildings per the 1964 Building Code, Section 203, it is absolutely imperative that all the necessary facts and circumstances are ascertained before any notice is given or any other legal proceedings commenced. Any and all defects or violations should be listed, spelled out in detail, so the property owner in each case is made fully aware of what he has to do. The Fire Department, Health Officer and City Engineer's Office should likewise make the inspections with the Building Director so there will be adequate testimony by more than one person as to the defective condition of the premises, it also being important that in each case the true owner be ascertained. Discussion ensued regarding legislative action to be taken and Fire Chief Walls suggested that perhaps a Board should be set up for reporting violations which could relay the problems to the Council for its action. It was ascertained that possibly some legal action might be instituted in some instances and by following the Code in every step, the abatement proceedings would be effected without affecting the peoples' property rights. The buildings in question at present are deemed unsafe and unhealthy for occupancy and pursuant to provisions of said Code, Section 203 it was moved by Pedersen, seconded by Perry, to refer the matter to the Fire and Water Committee and City Health Officer, to report back. Schellert questioned the resulting action of this motion as the Building Director has authority to enforce the Code without Committee recommendation. Mrs. Dahlquist urged that the motion be voted down and the Building Director given assurrance of Council support along with the F' .re CYief,; Health Officer and ot'iers alio should submi r_ a list with their g_ 350 Minutes of the Renton City Council 9-20-65 COMMUNICATIONS: (Cont.) Upgrading City Buildings per Building Director - - - recommendations if further action is needed to get the matter taken care of. Mayor Custer, as point of information on the Administrative side, pointed out that some 12 individual houses had been removed in the City through combined efforts of the Fire Chief, Building Director and Health Officer with aid of his office, and we will now need to commence with rigid enforcement of the Code in pursuance of the upgrading per 701 Plans. Vote was taken on the pending motion. Majority No vote was voiced and Mayor Custer declared the motion lost. Moved by Dahlquist, seconded by Hulse, that the City Engineer, Fire Chief, Health Officer and any others as required, compile information as needed by Mr. woo Reisberg to pursue condemnation or repair orders on premises, as the case may be. Discussion ensued as to whether a motion was required to have other Departments assist. The motion was declared in order, if perhaps not necessary, and vote was taken. The motion carried. A letter from City Engineer Wilson reported appointment of Mr. Del Bennett, Assistant City Engineer, as City Traffic Engineer for the City of Renton.

Written protest to the L.I.D. as proposed was read from the Washington Jockey Club, operators of Longacres race track, advising that an engineering analysis had been conducted determining that an estimated $10,000.00 savings would be made by cutting diagonally across the race track directly into the existing manhole on South 153rd Street.­�It was their desire to install sewer services at their own expense and to be eliminated from the proposed L.I.D. Audience comment was invited by those favoring the L.I.D. and Mr. Rongerude, on behalf of his son Melvin, owner of the property at 7650 S. 153rd Street expressed his approval A186,in concern for the trailer parks, restaurants, etc. in the area Mr. Goodrich stated the L.I.D. was needed to avoid future as well as existing problems with sanitation.-- Audience comment was invited in protest and none was forthcoming.

Hearing: (Resumed) L.I.D. 253 City Engineer Wilson posted the diagram of the Proposed L.I.D. and discussion ensued as to revision of cost resulting if Longacres were deleted. The City Engineer estimated that the difference would be within 10% as the line would not need to be as deep nor as large. Inquiry was made as to establishing precedent by allowing one side of a street to be deleted. It was pointed out that the original petition for the L.I.D. did not contain Longacres however, some benefit would be derived to their property as a result of the installation. The total cost would be reduced from $19,000.00 to approximately $10,000.00 with deletion as requested. After further discussion it was moved by Garrett, seconded by Pedersen, to delete the portion of property which submitted the protest. After inquiry as to qualifications for tieing the privately installed line into the existing manhole by Longacres as might be allowed another resident and extent of the new service and date of completion, it was pointed out that the manhole was not a Metro facility which did not allow a private connection, that the new service would be adequate to serve 4 times the area covered and anticipated completion yet this year, the pending motion carried, deleting Longacres from the L.I.D.

Planning Commission recommenda- tion was read from its public hearing of 9-22-65 and on basis of review of changes to the M-P District as suggested by the Pacific Coast Railroad Company, the Commission reaffirmed its former recommendation relative to M-P District Classification as sub- mitted with revision of Sec. 4.736.030, Limitations on Permitted Uses, to permit loading areas within the 601 setback.

D. 254 - Water Mains - Cedar River Home Sites This being the date set, the hearing was declared open. Communication read from Mr. E. S. Bryant stated the assessment was high and it was hoped the cost might be reduced, the entire width of his Lot, #6, being under transmission power line. Audience comment was invited and Mr. Leslie Tabor, 12431 - 142nd P1. S.E. presented a petition protesting the cost of the proposed L.I.D. The petition contained seven signatures and advised that in view of the costs involved their present water systems were felt to be satisfactory. Mr. John Lavin, 12401-142nd Place S.E., reported that he owned four lots and two were located under the power line. His assessment was $1,300.00 with reduction to $600.00 plus, due to location of the lots, however, it was felt that this was still considerable and a luxury that he could not afford. As there were no further audience comments,council action was invited. Moved by Poli, seconded by Delaurenti, that the hearing be closed. Councilman Schellert requested the City Engineer to explain the project and anything relative which might bring out more questions in support of the project. City Engineer Wilson displayed a map of the proposed project and agreed that the costs were high which was partly due to the fact that the line required a tunnel under the railroad tracks and also it paralleled the tracks benefitting only one side which would be sharing the cost alone. Also, the power line easement had been overlooked and costs where this occurred would need to be adjusted as this property would not receive as great a benefit, building not being allowed thereon. A trailer on one is being used as a permanent residence and there would be some benefit thereto. It was the recommendation of the City Engineer that the City share in getting this line across this easement, it being primarily of benefit to the City with the thought of tie-in at Maple Valley when the 1211 line is installed. It was pointed out that the water line installation would afford two hydrants to the area for better fire protection there being only one in Maple Valley at present and only one access to the area. Upon inquiry it was stated that the mode of assessment was by Zone and Termini. Pending motion to close the hearing was voted on and declared lost by majority no vote. Moved by Perry, seconded by Poli, that the hearing be continued for one week and that the City Engineer check the validity of the L.I.D. in view of the petition received tonight. Mr. Aucourt inquired regarding the percentage that it would take to kill the L.I.D. The Mayor invited the City Attorney to advise and Mr. Shellan stated that under the law if 60y protest is registered by the cost sharing property owners, the city may not proceed with any L.I.D. It was pointed out that the L.I.D. was a request of the property owners who petitioned for the installation following the annexation to the City of their property, which they had also requested. The pending motion carried continuing the hearing to October 18, 1965. COMMUNICATIONS: Application was read from Mr. James J. Abraham, O.K.

A sketch was displayed of the proposed project and determination made that the area is within the Renton City Limits. Upon inquiry regarding zoning Planning Director Ericksen stated the use to be compatible for the area but felt the Planning Commission should be consulted as to location for such type housing. Discussion ensued wherein it was pointed out that many sites had been considered and this one selected because of land size and cost, proximity to shopping area and recreational facilities, and with maintenance factor in mind, to the other project.

Communications were read from Mr. Leslie D. and Mrs. Bonnie R. Tabor, Ellen Dreckman, Jchn and Mary Lavin, protesting the cost of the L.I.D. , and from Mr. Frank Ellis requesting that his name be removed from the petition opposing the proposed L.I.D. A letter from the City Engineer reported that the petition opposing the L.I.D. contained signatures representing 57.62% of total estimated cost of the improvement. -1- Minutes of the Renton City Council Meeting 10-18-65 HEARING_: L.I.D. 254 (Cont.) Audience comment was invited. Discussion ensued regarding possible deletion of properties protesting the L.I .D. and possibility of city participation in cost of bringing a line under the tracks which contributes to the high assessments. Crossing the railroad tracks accounts for approximately 20% of the total cost or roughly $1,500.00. It was pointed out that deletion of any properties would result in additional cost to remaining properties and that it would not be feasible to proceed with such a small L.I.D. After further discussion regarding the proposed route, city benefit with respect to future development,and benefit to property owners by installation of hydrants and additional fire protection, it was moved by Garrett, seconded by Poli, that the hearing be closed and the L.I.D. be established as proposed. Upon inquiry as to whether the roll might be ad- justed at the time the final assessment is established, City Attorney -Shellan advised that when proceeding by Resolution the preliminary assessment is sent out and that when the job is completed you send out the final roll at which time the Council sits as a board of equalization and has the right to make adjustments. If the City however, should desire to participate and changes the proposed L.I.D. new cards should be sent out and resolution changed and new hearing scheduled and start anew. 60% protest can kill the L.I.D. and the people should decide if they want it or not. AnT rdmert suggested by Perry to have the city bear cost of taking the line to the other side of the tracks was lost for lack of second and recognition, being contrary to the motion. Councilman Garrett clarified that the intent of his motion was that the L.I.D. be set up as proposed and at the time of equalization the Council could determine those properties not getting full benefit and equalize as to true and fair value and if the Council wishes otherwise the motion may be voted down. Mrs. Ellen Dreckman, 12427 S.E . 142nd Street requested that her name be deleted from the protest as she felt the L.I.D. would be of I-enefit to her property. The pending motion carried. Mr. Perry opposed advising that the people may petition the city to participate in this L.I.D. due to the unusual circumstances of its having to go under the railroad tracks. 1�r. :',.- ctt aloe) this .7-sr may be accomplished at the time of hearing when the final assessment roll is set!

Council,vomon Dahlquist, living across from the present project, advised of her observations regarding bad condition of "K" street, being a very narrow right-of- way with sidewalks only on one side, it presents problems to those elderly persons who drive and walk, and consequently use "J" street which has sidewalks. She inquired as to how soon the city might be widening "K" street to alleviate the problem, the new water lines now installed. Mrs. Biel advised that the new water line installation was responsible for some of the bad conditions of the street. Discussion ensued and the City Engineer reported that the street is 24 ft. but that 60 ft. is available for widening with condemnation not being necessary for acquisition.

Adoption of the amend- ments proposed by Boeing, slightly modified,would reasonably regulate and allow proper interpretation to provide testing for the Boeing hydro- foil R. & D. programs as well as the Pacific Car & Foundry programs. Moved by Morris, seconded by Hulse, to refer the matter to the Police and License Committee for recommendation. Councilman Pedersen advised that the Property Committee had also been working on this matter and that another letter from the Boeing Company attorney was forthcoming with suggestions for further revisions which will be forwarded to Mr. Delaurenti upon receipt.

Fixed clearances were outlined and any parties interested were invited to submit in writing by. 11-18-65:­c6mmentih regard to the proposal. A letter from City Engineer Wilson advised that the bridge replacement would only provide 3 ' of vertical clearance above high lake level and would seriously limit the size of any boat navigating the river and would in all probability prohibit the city from barging out any gravel that might be excavated from the river in maintenance operations. Moved by Schellert, seconded by Hulse, that the correspondence be referred to the Committee of the Whole. Carried. A letter from City Attorney Shellan submitted copy of letter to the Commissioner of Public Lands containing the Preference Application, regarding right to purchase Shorelands of Lake Washington now available since inner harbor line relocation. City Attorney Shellan added notation on the application as follows: "This application is submitted without waiver, express or implied, on the part of the applicant to protest any or all of the appraisals heretofore made by or through the Commissioner of Public Lands of the State of Washington" . Referral was made to the letter agreement between the City and Boeing Company of August 10, 1964 according to which the Company wishes to lease some of the area in question. It was suggested that once the appraisal has been resolved, then the city purchase the lands since any acquisition by a third party might interfere with access and the city' s utilization of the rest of the property. It was pointed out that the City can purchase at a down payment of 10% with a balance over a period of nine years in equal annual installments together with interest of 6% on deferred balances and can then rent to Boeings as to leased portions on the basis of a fair return of capital acquisition costs. The appraisal is in the sum of $48, 500.00 requiring thus a down payment of $4,850.00. Moved by Perry, seconded by Poli, to refer the communication to the Property Committee. Carried. - -- A letter from Mayor Custer submitted file concerning property of Mrs. Joseph Dunden located along Primary State Highway 5 adjacent to Maplewood Division No. 2 which Mrs. Dunden has offered to sell to the City if it should be interested.

The motion carried. -3- Minutes of the Renton City Council Meeting 10-25-65 COMMUNICATIONS : (cont. ) A letter from Mayor Custer recalled that the Council had previously authorized the Mayor to proceed in obtaining a survey of certain property within the Civic Center Site due to question of ownership. Completion of a survey by Mr. Kenneth Oyler determined that the Sartori family still holds an interest in 3380 sq. ft. of property. An appraisal of this property by Mr. Charles Mattaini determined the property value to be $1, 500.00 and the Sartori heirs now residing in San Francisco, have agreed to accept this price, declining to make a donation because they felt they should at least be reimbursed for taxes paid over the past several years. It was recommended that the Council authorize purchase of this property at the appraised price and that the Mayor, City Clerk and City Attorney prepare and execute the necessary documents, with funding to be from Cumulative Fund 1894. Moved by Perry, seconded by Delaurenti, to concur in the recommendations of the Mayor. Carried. Helmie Nelson, City Clerk, reported attendance at the Washington State Finance Officers meeting in Spokane, October 20, 21 and 22, along with City Treasurer, Dorothea Gossett, Deputy City Clerk, Gwen Marshall and Ted Bennett, Utility Accountant. The highlight as far as the City of Renton is concerned was the selection of Renton as the 1966 Convention City. Seattle and Vancouver had also issued invitations. City Treasurer Gossett was elected as a member of the Board and of further interest was a talk by Senator Martin Durkan, member of the Municipal Code Committee, regarding proposed Municipal Code which may be adopted by Cities if they so desire. The new Code would allow cities broad general powers and allow the State Legislature to devote more time to details of state government and not be concerned with the housekeeping of the cities. Copies of the bill will be mailed to City Attorneys and City Clerks for response by the cities and hearings will be conducted by the Code Committee throughout the state. A panel discussion by representatives of the Tax Commission outlined various taxable and non-taxable items and upon inquiry regarding payment by the Cities on collections made for Metro, it was pointed out that they do not consider this double taxation, however certain rules allow protest appeal to one body and later a three- mc-mbgr Board. An address by Mr. David Stevens, of Research Division of the Association of Wn. Cities, advised of proposed initiative measure whereby the Cities would share up to 10%, on per capita basis, of the retail sales tax. Cities are realizing that they are unable to continue to support local government on existing revenues and have decided to go directly to the citizens with the problem. An estimated $14. 00 per capita would be the amount realized. The support of this proposal was unanimous by both the Association of Wn. Cities and the Finance Officers and in order to confirm the backing and make known the great need for this revenue, earnest endeavor will be made to secure three times the number of required signatures. Other topics of address were Record Destruction, by the State Archivist and Accounting - State Examiners panel. Mr. Bennett, upon inquiry of additional report he might wish to make, advised of speaking with Frank Thayer of Kennewick regarding payment of tax on revenues set aside for bond redemption, which case is in Court and the outcome of which will decide further action to be pursued. The City is paying the tax and making periodical claims to the Commission for reimbursement while Kennewick is just not paying the tax on the assumption that they are right. Seattle pays the tax and files claims also. This was the advice Of our City Attorney. Mr. Bennett questioned thepanel on matter of budgetary concern relative to non-street costs where costs are in- curred by the Street Fund for other than street construction work and accounted as non-reimbursable items. Constitution provides a fund i8 not permitted to benefit by another fund, and there is no such accounting M allowod for non-reimbursable items, and a City could be written up for such practice. The fund benefitting by the work must reimburAe the ia�1'6idt p Mayor street and for an ..service rendered; Athe close , o:i r diwz Custer cmmanded t*e City clerk and- ffea�ufor A their succegifUl o�fbrt 'a L}..til �.�rl _ :.056 ('otirer.t7.O?'1 b:.c9„ Minutes of the Renton City Council Meeting 10-25-65 COMMUNICATIONS: (Cont. ) Summary of Minutes of Executive Committee Meeting held in Seattle on Friday, October 8, 1965 was received from the Association of Washington Cities along with Road and Street Maintenance School Program, to be held at Washington State University, Pullman, on November 10-12, 1965 and at St. Martin ' s College, Olympia, November 16-18, 1965.

Six of the letters were from residents of the city and the others were from interested residents of the nearby communities . It was suggested that these letters be answered and attention called to legislation to be enacted upon later this evening under Ordinances and Resolutions. A letter was read from Governor Evans in reply to Resolution and letter received from the City protesting payment of taxes on sewage charges collected by the City for Metro. The Governor submitted memorandum from Mr. George Kinnear, Chairman, Tax Commission, and advised it would appear that under the law as it is now written the essential legal question is whether the City is or is not acting as an agent of Metro. The Governor requested that further communications and information regarding this problem be forwarded to him and that the City contact Mr. Kinnear relative to study of possible and desirable changes in the tax law. Mr. Kinnear' s Memorandum concurred in conclusions previously reached by the Tax Commission that if the City were an agent of Metro or can now amend its contract so as to become an agent, it could then establish a tax exempt position. Also, it was suggested a way might possibly be found to draft an amendment without endangering the constitutionality of the law and Mr. Kinnear offered the City every assistance in this respect and will confer at any time upon all aspects of the problem. A letter from Mr. Floyd Charles , Supervisor, Office Audit Section of the Tax Commission, acknowledged receipt of Claim from the City of Renton for refund of $4, 713. 28 covering calendar period of July 1, 1963 through July 31, 1965 , an extension of original Claim of August 1, 1963, which in the Commission opinion, was not allowed. The Claim will be filed as proof for statutory purpses and it was recommended that the City continue -- to report and pay tax on the income as in the past . It was moved by Pedersen, seconded by . Poli, , that this matter be referred to the City Attorney to continue with the action. Carried. A letter from John M. Nelson, Sup' t. of Lighting, City of Seattle, Dept. of Lighting, advised that since receiving assurance that Renton zoning requirements are adequate for construction of new Patrol Headquarters on property in Cedar River Park, they are about to recommend the sale of their present site to Renton and purchase from Renton the substitute location. Values to be represented are appraised sums of $75,000 for the existing site and Seattle' s appraisal of $22 ,500 for the Cedar River Park site. Upon receiving commitment to this agreement the transactions will proceed and inasmuch as considerable time will be involved in the preparation of the land and construction of facilities at the Cedar River Park site� it was requested that the City advise of the length of time the present site may be temporarily occupied. Moved by Pedersen, seconded by Morris , that the communication be referred to the City Attorney who has been handling the matter heretofore. The motion carried. ,® A letter from W. E. Bennett, Renton Utility Accountant, called attention to expending of balance of Street Cleaning Budget Appropriation as of October 1965 which means that approximately $3,600. 00 will need to be carried as an account receivable on Equipment Rental Fund books as of December 31 , 1965 . Also, the Police Department account will not have adequate funds to cover equipment rental costs in December. It is estimated that the unpaid balance due from various funds will be from $22,000. 00 to $25 ,000. 00 by December 31st which will include $18,306. 29 due from 1964. Also, the Street Cost A-counting Program will be affected being -.perated on cash basis, therefore,if equipment is not paid for it is not shown as item of cost making balance impossible. A meeting was -3- 398 Renton City Council Meeting 11-15-65 COMMUNICATIONS: (Cont. ) (W. E. Bennett letter re Equip . Rental) requested to discuss the problems . Moved by Trimm, seconded by Bruce, to refer the matter to the Committee of the Whole . Carried. A letter was read from Mr. C. S. Sargent, Mgr. , FacilitiesFngineering, Boeing , petitioning for the Vacation of portion of Logan Street North which lies north of the westerly projection of 8th Avenue. Inquiry was made regarding whether or not the letter constitutes a valid petition and City Attorney Shellan advised that if Mr. Sargent is an authorized agent of 2/3 property owners of lands abutting the area as shown on the map which is to be vacated, then it could be valid. Dis- cussion ensued further in which inquiry was made as to whether future use of Logan Street might be anticipated to connect with the North Renton Interchange . City Engineer Wilson advised he could not anticipate or predict future changes which might affect any present decision but that he had not given up hope as to feasibility of such a connection. Hulse inquired as to whether a trade of property might be advisable to allow such a future connection and realignment of facilities. Discussion continued and it was pointed out by the City Attorney that a Hearing would be required upon any valid petition for vacation and after further comments on whether the vacation should be considered during or prior to the hearing, it was moved by Pedersen, seconded by Dahlquist, to refer the matter to the Street and Alley Committee, Planning Commission and City Engineer for recommendations and validation investigation of the petition. Carried. A letter from C. S. Williams, Chief of Police, requested authorization for Captain E. E. Henry to attend the Regional Traffic Control Device Workshop in Portland, Oregon on November 29 and 30, 1965 . Moved by Hulse, seconded by Dahlquist, to grant the request. The motion carried. A letter signed by W. E. Bennett, Employees ' Club Representative, D. C. Bennett, Engineering Representative and A. J. Hubner, Police Representa- tive, requested approval for payroll deductions of Northern Life Insurance Company premiums. The Employee Consultation Service, is a voluntary program an d premiums would be paid by the employee if addi- tional insurance is purchased. The employees have designated a desire to take advantage of the program and if payroll deductions are approved warrant would subsequently have to be issued to the Insurance Company by the City Clerk' s office, upon deduction of the premiums . Moved by Poli, seconded by Bruce, that the request be granted. The motion carried. This was not to be an exclusive arrangement but is a completely voluntary service requested by the employees . A letter from Mayor Custer reported that the Council had allowed a $500 item under Civil Service 1966 Budget for "physical examinations" and in preliminary budget discussion of September 21, the Council had determined that the $500 was to provide examinations for the Police Department and that the cost of physical examinations for Firemen was to be paid for by the Firemen' s Pension Fund, evidently intended that the Firemen' s Pension Fund Board make this money available to the budget. The Pension Board discussed the matter and requested a legal opinion. The City Attorney on November 10, 1965 replied concluding "that it may be of Now doubtful legal practice to spend funds of the Pension Fund for annual examinations when they are not related whatever to any injury or dis- ability sustained by the Firemen. Mayor Custer inquired whether the Council desires to provide additional $500 to cover Firemen' s exams or to forego all physical examinations required by the Civil Service Rules and use the $500.00 now budgeted for other purposes . Decision of the Council was requested in order that administration course of action might be commenced without discriminatory inference. Moved by Morris , seconded by Schellert, to refer the matter to the Committee of the Whole. Carried. Renton City Council Meeting 11-15-65 COMMUNICATIONS: (Cont. ) A letter from Mayor Custer called attention to list of recommendations. which he had presented on March 9th concerning the Civic Center complex and implementation of the 701 Plan. The Council approved the recom- mendations but declined to specifically concur with suggestion that the City should select an architect" . . . and Mayor Custer pointed cut that this should be done concurrently with the other recommended actions because of delays inherent in process of study and design. Attention was further called to discussions of the subject and requeststhat the Mayor study Federal programs which may be applicable and available to ,- the City for Civic Center and City Hall construction purposes, and prepare checklist so that Council members might evaluate existing City Hall facilities in nearby cities and questionaire so they might collectively determine needs to be met in a new City Hall. All of these requests have been fulfilled in some degree and in the course of study made necessary by these requests, it became increasing apparent that the Council should reconsider the possibility of hiring an architectural firm, and it was suggested that the various firms which have requested consideration be given interviews at an early date. Several possible Federal Aid programs appear to be available, the most promising in the 702 Funds , Public Facility Loan And Planning Grant Programs , the Open Space and Beautification Program and Civil Defense Fall-out Shelter Funds . The City should make decisions to apply for funds, designating who is to be responsible for the application. An urgency is required so early action was recommended. It was suggested that the architect retained be given the responsibility to obtain, with the City' s aid, the Federal grants which may be available.

A map was displayed and Mr. Ericksen. designated various existing and proposed facilities. The basic need , as shown,is related to the population growth through 1985. The area extends beyond the corporate limits of the City of Renton into King County and further South into the Kent area to represent coordination of facilities with the other com- munities. The valley area has been slated for industrial development. The Planning Commission has held numerous hearings subsequently adopting the Plan and or. October 25. 1965, recommended that. the City Council adopt the Plan likewise. Council continent was invited and Councilman Trimm pointed out that the maps represent generalized policy which may be amended from time to time. Mr. Lricksen agreed and added that the actual finalization of the Plan will come when the City goes into the Capital Improvement Program at which time details will be drawn as to locations and costs . Also, it is hoped that some State and Federal Aid may be obtained for, possible development. Mayor, Custer added that this plan is subject to change and is meant to be a guide of what is hoped to be accomplished. He then called on Park Director Gene Coulon to report on proceedings to date on Application for Funds to aid in the Park Program pursuant to 701 Outdoor, Recreation and Open Space Plan.

Moved by Morris, seconded by Hulse, to accept the project and recommendations as submitted by the City Engireer. Carried. A letter was read from City Attorney Shellan relative to State of Washington B. & 0. Tax on Metro collections which submitted copy of letter from the attorney for Metro. City Attorney Shellan pointed out that the proper remedy to the problem is by amendment to the present State Statute and recommended once again such a bill be supported by the interested cities. Attorney Ellis, representing Metro called attention to fact that it is not possible for Metro to amend its contracts as the State had recommended inasmuch as bonds have been issued on the security of its outstanding contracts and the terms of these contracts were spelled out in the official statements delivered to prC ,pective purchasers of all of the bonds. It is an essential part of the Metro financing plan thi payments of Metro sewage disposal charges by component cities be treated as expenses of operation and maintenance of the city sewer sy6tem, the payment of which must be made before payment of principal and interest on the sewer revenue bonds of tte cities. Bond holders have relied upon Metro's ability to collect its charges from the cities and the districts regardless of whether or not the cities and districts actually collect the required monthly se-vice charge from each individual customer of the city. Thus, if a particular customer is delinquent in paying his bill the city may not fail to remit charges for the disposal of sewage collected from such customer. The foregoing provisions are of vital importance to credit rating of the bonds issued by Metro and also resulted in a saving of interest amounting to several millions of dollars. The right approach to take in solution of this problem will be to seek legislation introduction to exempt the operation of sewage collection and disposal facilities from the State B. & 0. Tax. -4- Renton City Council Meeting 11-22-65 COMMUNICATIONS: (cont.)

Mr. Bilboa had reported a study showed 90% of new rapid tran- sit commuters were already transit users and when recognizing that the figures used were from 1961 it is apparent why his firm felt that the transit line should come from North Seattle to the Seattle central business district. It was also pointed out at the forum that the transit system was not self-supporting and would undoubtedly have to be supported by property taxes. Councilman Perry recalled that the Toronto conference had created the interest of Mayor Braman and the City Council Members where it was reported that the Toronto system is subsidized by money from a form of Metro and they have even greater traffic problems than this area.

A letter was read from Planning DireAdji Erickson advising that after public hearings during July and August the Planning Cotigsion had recommended adoption by the Council of the subject elements of the Com- pkehengive Plan, Mr. Erickson was requested by the Mayor to explain the Policy Statement and Land Use Plan. Planning Director Erickson advised that the elements of the plan under consideration this evening were two very basic ones. Others included are Arterial Street Plan, Community Facilities Plan and the present two, Policy Statement and Land Use. The implemented plan will include the Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Maps and Capital Imprrve- ment Plan, not yet adopted- The Policy Statement is a general statement and includes description of studies that were undertaken during the development of the plan, explaick�b the general goals and objectives for the various phases of overall city development. The Land Use Report reviews the existing conditions and development of land in the Renton Urban areas, and further defines the general land use requirements for future development to 1985. Both elements are intended to provide a basic guide for the future of Renton and its adjacent areas, Maps were displayed and specific locations by Sections were designated, ie �, Westerly, Easterly and Southerly sections. The land use reviews the present and relates to the future with respect to soil, slopes, analysis of existing current and future trends- It was emphasized that the pian is a generalized plan and has a broad but basic guide which should be reviewed and revised from time to time to keep is updated Mayor Custer pointed out that adoption of the documents will,,not result in dogmatic, stationary, hard and fast rule but will have to be amended with the long range development of the City beIrg implemented. Mayor Custer invited Council questions and Councilman Perry inquired regarding petition containing 117 names which had been submitted to the Council on May 11, 1964 by the Windsor Hills .residents regarding the land use map designations. The matter had been subsequently referred to the Planning Commission. Planning Director Ericksen advised that he had not been with the City at the time, however the present Land Use Plan has the subject area shown as Multiple Residential area. The present zoning, however, is L-1 which allows construction to three stories or 35 feet in height and in his opinion the Multiple Residential designation would be a more logical zoning but the Light Industry does allow the use as contemplated for the area. The intent of the present owners is to develop the area for multiple dwellings or apartment use which they may do under the present zoning so long as they meet the requirements of the Ordinance insofar ` as setbacks, parking and height are concerned, and this complies with the generalized recommendations of the Land Use Plan. The L-1 zoning shows on the existing map and was rezoned by the property owners sometime back. As mentioned earlier, the next logical step will be development and adoption of a new zoning map which will require detailed analysis or study after which the areas will be redesignated as may be determined at completion of the study. Mayor Custer outlined the area in question on the map for the benefit of the audience and it was pointed out that the property is presently zoned L--1 and the Land Use Map indicates Multiple Residential and relates to future anticipated use Councilman Bruce inquired regarding the petition which had objected to ary high rise buildings and the Clark reported a copy had been made for Mrs. Evans from the files this afternoon.. Planning Director Ericksen pointed out that the L-1 zoning permits a he_ght of 35 feet which is also the limit allowed Single Family Residence and is-the height of a 3 story apartment building , -2- r Y 4. 7. Minutes of the Renton City Council Meeting (Cont.) HEARING: Comprehensive Plan Policy Statement and Land Use Plan of the 701 Plan Audience comment was invited and Mrs. Margaret Evans, 403 Grandey Way recalled that the zoning in this State was passed by the 36th Legislature and this area was zoned around the town as was all property in King County bounding a city or town, to R-3. Then when whispers of a highway or freeway went around this particular ground was asked to be zoned L-1 which would bring a higher appraisal Then the Windsor Hills petitioners came in and asked that it be kept first class residential (R-1) � Mrs. Evans noted that in reading the Ordinance today it included R-4 and that is the reason they protested in the first place and the L-1 permits R-3 and R-4 without rezone. It was pointed out that the L-1 would not permit R-4 because of the 35 ft. height restric- tion. R-4 allows 6 stories and 95 ft. Mrs. Evans stated the ordinance reads R-3 or R-4 and that R-3 is restricted to 35 ft. The City Attorney was requested to paraphrase the Ordinance and Mr. Shellan pointed out that there has been no change in the zoning ordinance as read and that L-1 permitted R-3 and R-4 use with 35 ft. height limit. If apartments are built the height is still limited the same as if the building were being done in R-1. A rezone would be required to build higher. Mr. Hulse pointed out that the land use map will not change the zoning and should have no bearRng on whether they build or not as they could go ahead under the present ordinance. ME. Evans inquired if they could proceed immediately and Planning Director Ericksen tdvised the property owners have every right to proceed with construction under the present ordi- nance. Again, they are limited to the number of units they can put in, certain setbacks defined under R-4 and must observe the 35 ft. height. Mrs. Evans inquired regarding protection against the way it is aligned as the parking will be right against their fences. City Attorney Shellan advised the City is not in a position to control the absolute use of the property unless it is a private development and all that can be done is to establish certain restrictions and regulate the height as it affects the abutting property . Reasonable use cannot be restricted and a residence could be built 35 ft high as long as requirements of the Ordinance are met. The land use and zoning are two different things. Mrs. Evans advised the petitioners had agreed to the R-3 with whatever conditions were imposed as they„}pd wanted restrictions to be such as would do them the least damage. Planning Director Ericksen advised that the comprehensive plan will be used as a guide for future zoning and the essential effect here is for future purposes. Certain areas will be slated for multiple apartment use and study will have to be made in detail and recommendations will be made based upon potential future development by 1985. The City is now working with a new plan and an old Ordinance insofar as zoning is con- cerned which does present a problem so the sooner the new ordinance can be effected and zoning maps adopted the better. The plan proposed by the property owners here is construction permitted in R-3 and this is the intentof the City that it be developed for R-3 aidd the owners are abiding by requirements of the existing ordinance, Mrs. Phyllis McGerry inquted whether they could in the future build six stories if it is rezoned. It was pointed out that there had been no intention declared to rezone to R-4. Mrs. McGerry stated that when the original contractor sold the homes they were purchased with restrictions and a view and if the view is blocked they no longer have view property. Mayor Custer invited further audience comment and Mrs. Evans thanked the Council for the time given her. Moved by Schellert, secrnded by Dahlquist, that the hearing be closed. On the question, Mr. Norman Ross inquired regarding location and proposed use of a parcel of property owned by Edgewater Enterprises and location of the Renton Hospital site. This was out- 11ned on the map. Planning Director Ericksen advised that the intent of the general development plan is that the area be used for multiple -residential and that the height would be restricted to conform with adjacent development.

This being the date set, the hearing was declared open, The City Clerk read a letter from the City Engineerfs Office wherein Jack Wilson, City Engineer and. Delbert Bennett; Traffic Engineer advised of concurrence with the Plan and adopt-. o~ as submitted was recommended. A letter read from Planning Director Gordon Ericksea reported that the Planning Commission held hearings on the subject elements of the Plan in July and August and adoption by the City Council was recommended. -l- M_ . r.ertan City Council Meeting 12-13-65 :FARING: Streets and Arterials (Cont.) Pla siting Director Ericksen presented a verbal report pointing out that the Arterials and Streets plan represents one of the most important elements of the Comprehensive lan being the vital guide for traffic circulation, particularly in terms of relation tc future growth and development of the area which will present additional traffic problems. The long range needs and objectives for arterials and major streets are ;Mined along with principles and standards for highway development. Basic elements a-e delineated for an over all arterial plan with graphic designation of the system, also set forth in the Six Year Comprehensive Plan. Actual implementation will require further study and review relative to specific locations and revisions will undoubtedly be found necessary but the Plan as presented establishes a generalized framework or guide for making decisions. Councilman Schellert called attention to the numerous lanes of traffic and mention of 40 and 50 thousand vehicles .by 1985-90 and if this trend is to continue and the automobile remains the main mode of transportation there will be a need to curb the trend and it was suggested that the matter be approached with open eyes and some thought be given to rapid transit. Discussion ensued on projection figures and likely fulfillment. Upon no further comment, it was moved by Poli, seconded by Perry, that the hearing be closed. Carried. Moved by Schellert, seconded by Hulse, to adopt the Arterials and Streets report of the City's 701 Comprehensive Plan as submitted and recommended by the Planning Commissions Carried. Mayor Custer advised that there is but one more plan to be adopted and that is the Capital Improvement Plan upon the adoption of which the City should receive payment from the State -to match the funds budgeted in next years budget pursuant to the Outdoor Recreation program. FEARING: Vacation of portion of Logan Street requested by The Boeing Company '2his being the date set, the hearing was declared open. The City Clerk reported that the Revised Petition had been certified by the City Engineer as having signatures representing 100% of abutting property owners. A subsequent letter from City Engineer :'ack Wilson recommended that the vacation be limited to that portion of Logan Street =yang northerly of the Boeing spur track which would enable Boeing to continue with its expansion and still allow for a possible connection to the North Renton Interchange. A letter from the Planning Commission advised of study of the proposal and recommended that the portion of Logan Street extending from 8th Avenue to the railroad track be uczcluded from the proposed vacation, known as the Boeing Spur. The recommendation was based upon possibility that the City may have need for the right of way if connection to the North Renton Interchange were to be considered. While representing what--- _:_be a long range possibility,the Commission feels such connection is not nut of the question and believes the City should retain part of the right of way in event of such future need. Comment was invited and f3ouncilwoman Dahlquist inquired as to disposition of the plan submitted by the former Planning Director to continue Logan Street on over to Lake Washington Boulevard. Discussion ensued and it was pointed out that there is still the poss'.bility of a connection even though a portion. of Logan . has been recommended to be ^acated. A new route for suc-b connection was pointed ut on a map and railroad property was anticipated to be involved in event of future abandonment of certain track area. Inquiry was made as to why if .2 vacation procedures are probably imminent, is only one portion being considered. City Engineer Wilson ad- vised that he felt some public benefit does exist and therefore did not recommend that -the whole street be vacated. Upon inquiry, Mr. Shellan, City Attorney, advised that the law says if there is feasible use of the property fortphblic purpose than the council may not vacate and if there is no public use it is within the Council's dis- cretiotl to vacate and the Council also has the right under the law to retain any easements which might be needed in the future. To vacate with idea of having to return the property is somewhat indefinite and uncertain and the property could not be built upon with such a reversion clause. Some._ further discussion on action to be taken to amend the vacation followed. Hr. 'Sargent of The BQe.iftg,Company, agreed to 'Jacation as proposed, it being adequate for the Boeiwc�: .Comrgny's present need, and , it was subsequently moved by Schellert, seconded by Poli, that the hearing be closed, The motion carried, Moved by Hulse, seconded by Garrett, since the Petitioner is willing to amend the petition so as to delete that portion of Logan Street South of the existing spur line, that the amended Petition be approved granting the vacation as revised.

This being the date set, the hearing was declared open. Mr. Adams of Whitehall distributed printed Brochure of -kmerican Home Products Corporation parent Company and gave a resume' of activities of the Company in Seattle and nearby communities and recent expansion of Whitehall to the present location. It was pointed out that since 1946 there have been 2 and 3 employees and now there will be four and it was felt that 10 parking spaces would be adequate for their needs and that blacktopping for 32 spaces -2- Renton City Council Meeting (Cont-) 12-13-65 ,... HEARING: Whitehall Laboratories appeal of Planning Commission decision on Variance would not be needed for 100 years. They do have adequate land to provide the parking but it was not felt to be a reasonable requirement at this time for them to have to blacktop a 25 ft, strip beside their warehouse -,He pointed out there is no customc- pick up nor retail sales from the warehouse and they - would not utilize 32 parking spaces. Upon inquiry whether the 32 spaces ,are necessary Planning Director Ericksen advised that the Ordinance is based upon per square foot and according to the size of the warehouse that would be the requirement under the OrdiTiance. The Commission had thought in terms of future use of the structure when makirig. its decision and it is realized that the Ordinance does represent .a .generalized €figure. Upon inquiry Mr� Adams stated that they are prepared to provi&`§ parking spaces at this time and will go along with any reasonable agreement to show g6o(1 faith and willingness to comply when they necd r,�,�re narking, and they do not anticipate.. the property will change owner- ship. As there was no further discussion, it was moved by Poli, seconded by Garrett, to close the hearing, Caarrieda :Ori-hxNry whether the area for additional parking will be reserved for same if the lesser space is approved for this time, City Attorney Shellan advised that it would be a violation of the Ordinance, if it were not reserved and they would not be granted a certificate of occupancy, that.'they'are actually in accord with the ordinance by providing adequate..space as' required but are requesting the variance to pour black top for only the 10 spaces in lieu of improving the 32. Moved by Garrett, seconded by Poli, that Whitehall Laboratories lie allowed to install the 10 parking spaces only at this time and that the, :mprovement of the additional 22 spaces be defer- red until further action of the Council, Carried, COMMUNICATIONS: A letter from Jack Wilson, City Engineer was read submitting and recommending for pay- ment, Final Estimate #8 due Cornell, Howland, Hayes, including the retained percentage, for Water System Study in sum of $1,894.03- Total cost of the study - $9,645.11.

A letter from Donald G. Holm, Attorney representing the City of Renton in the Edwards vs. City of Renton Traffic Signal Suit, submitted a letter from the Supreme Court of the State advising that the subject Court case is being returned to the King County Superior Court for further testimony which decision overrules the decision of Judge Walterskirchen in Superior Court and clarifies a heretofore uncertain area in Municipal Law which now indicates that if a Municipal Corporation accepts the benefit of an improve- ment under conditions which existed in this case, it must pay the reasonable value of the improvement which thu City has received and accepted rather than the amount representing tenefitxeceived. . The matter will be discussed with the City Engineer to determine if any further evidence should be presented than has heretofore been considered. A Certificate was read from Ralph R. Stender, Deputy County Auditor and Clerk of the Board of County Commissioners, submitting Resolution No. 31058 describing the boundarie.,.° of proposed Green River Flood Control Zone District and needs and requirements within the zone, setting a date for public hearing thereon at 9:30 a.m. on January 10, 1965 in Room 402, King County Courthouse, Seattle.

Wolff report) A letter was read from Mayor Custer requesting Council concurrence in recommendations concerning property transactions as follows: Seattle City Light Property in Civic Center Site - Sup't.

He suggests the Deed be placed in escrow with a local bank upon execution of an agreement to guarantee the use and rental until June 30, 1966 with option to extend same by mutual agreement. Mayor Custer pointed out that the City will benefit from the deferred payments on both sites by continuing to derive interest on the money to be used for the purchases which is now invested,and since no construction is planned for at least six mnnths immediate pos- session is not necessary.

It was anticipated that the meeting will be on the format of industrial oriented land use with requirements of industry and what industry expects in the way of land use being outlined. The Association is considering affiliation with the American Association of Planning Officials. It was recommended that a session be includod on electric signs, several people involved in the sign industry indicating that it wanted to be heard. Attention was called by Mr. Hulse to an editorial appearing last week in the Record Chronicle "Requiem - - - For Provincialism" which has been submitted to the Board of. Directors of the Planning Association for consideration for award as an out- standing editorial in the field of planning. The award is given each year and others will be submitted with like merits. Moved by Garrett, seconded by Hulse, that the matter of Air Pollution Ordinance be referred to the Ordinance Committee for possible drafting of an ordinance. Mayor Custer advised that although the motion is not out of order he had sometime ago sub- mitted a sample which was given concurrence of the Council. Garrett suggested that the Law and Ordinance Committee check with Seattle and the County before bringing in its report. Mayor Custer advised that the proposed Ordinance he had submitted was one provided by the County. Councilman Morris, Chairman of the Law and Ordinance Committee reported that the Committee had discussed the proposed Ordinance and was holding it to see what changes and additions may be adopted by Seattle which might be incorporated in the City of Renton document. Councilman Garrett called attention to the matter of combining uniform personnel pension funds which the Washington State Pension Committee is studying at present, and moved that the matter be referred to the Police and License Committee and Fire and Water Com- mittee for recommendation to be sent to the pension commission. The motion was seconded by Schellert, City Clerk Nelson inquired regarding instances where the City has only a Firemen's Pension Fund System and other uniformed personnel are part of the Statewide City Employees Retirement Svstem. How does that effect our system as a second class City.which'has no Police Pension Fund. The City Attorney called attention to the proposal to establish a new State Law which would permit the combining of the two, but from the correspondence he has seen it is apparent such a move would cost the city more money. The pending motion subsequently carried. Councilman Perry made inquiry regarding use of the library building by Allied Arts and inspection of the building as requested. Mayor Custer advised this can be handled administratively unless a motion to refer is otherwise desired.

The amendment carried and subsequently the original motion as amended. A letter read from City Engineer Wilson advised that his office has no objections to the construction as planned of the proposed Bridge at the mouth of the Cedar River as requested by the Boeing Company in its revised application to the Corps of Engineers. Since review of the plans it is evident that the new structure will provide more clearance both vertically and horizontally than the existing bridge, which was the point of objection prior to plan review. A Permit will undoubtedly be requested in the near future since normal procedure for obtaining permission from the Corps of Engineers and the City has been instituted. Moved by Garrett, seconded by Perry, to refer the matter to the Property Committee. Carried. A letter was read from City Attorney Shellan submitting copy of a letter from the Department of Natural Resources pertaining the the City's proposed acquisition of Blocks "A" and "B", Third Supplemental Maps of Lake Washington Shorelands .

It was pointed out by Mr. Shellan that the City has exercised its right of preference but now must de- cide how it is going to purchase, on deferred plan or outright and that the State is now waiting for the money. Moved by Perry, seconded by Poli, to refer the matter to the Property Committee. Discussion ensued regarding time element and Garrett stated his opinion that he felt there was no doubt that the City wanted to purchase the land and that motion should be to vote to buy the land with referral to the Ways and Means Committee or other Committee to bring in recommendations of how to pay for it. Perry, with permission of second,restated the motion to approve purchase of the property with referral to the Ways and Means Committee to report back recommended means of the funding.

Legality of retention without stipulated amount of money to be involved was discussed and Delaurenti felt that the architect the Council might desire to retain should submit a proposal so the amount of the expenditure could be known. Attention was called by Dahlquist to action of last week in authorizing architects to suTiiit proposal. Upon inquiry, City Attorney Shellan advised that before authorizing anyone to Charge for preparation of plans and specifications that a contract be drawn up first so it would be in order for a proposal to be submitted for preparation of a contract to be signed by both parties prior to any further action; as will be cone on the 11- million dollar transaction of last week.

Moved by Morris, seconded by Hulse, to refer the request to the Law and Ordinance Committee. The motion carried. .. A letter from Gordon Y. Ericksen, Planning Director, submitted Planning Commission recom- mendations from its public hearing meeting of December 22nd as follows: Rezones recommended for approval: Charles Shane, Appl. No. R-263-65, from R-3 to B-1, Property located on Maple Valley Hwy. adjacent to Stoneway Dock Company. Moved by Perry, and seconded by Poli, to concur in the Planning Commission recommendation. Mr. John Day, Attorney representing Mr. John Edwards, addressed the Council on this matter opposing the proposed rezone. It was pointed out that the land use map shows the river is right next to the highway. Mr. Shane's map shows 150 ft.. strip of land in width but that such has been created by fill and possible future widening of' the .highway .should be considered along with potential uses under B-1 zoning which might be a tavern, gas station, etc. which would be borrow- ing trouble. Mr. Day submitted his opinion that the gravel plant should be zoned Com- mercial, that it is a non-conforming use and within sight and sound of City Hall and is certainly not something you would zone heavy industry. It was there previously and r should be a non-conforming use and is not compatible with development of that area. In zoning B-1 the City would be compounding its problems. Mr. Day read excerpts from the Washington Law Review regarding Effective Municipal Zoning which. stated. that zoning is a legal division which complements the comprehensive plan by effectuating the plan. It is an off-spring of urban necessity and divides land into separate and different districts. It must reflect in its use and structures application of the character of the land in each use district. Zoning provisions must comply fully with all regulatory procedural steps. The Ordinances must be integrated to the zoning map. Mr. Day displayed the City of Renton zoning map and pointed out six existing spots of 8-1 zoning in the area and stated that the pending rezone would make seven. He read this time from Pierce vs. King County court case which holds against the Planning Com- mission in a spot zoning ruling and Mr. Day noted that spot zoning is universally con- demned and the Supreme Court finding was based on Good Government and Good Legislation the case criticism being of spot zoning in that such does not open the gates to other spot zoning. Mr. Day stated that Mr� Shane did not state his proposed use of the land and any rezoning in this area will add to problems when the comprehensive plan is adopted, and that it does not benefit the City of Renton. Upon inquiry regarding Mr. Edward's interest, Mr. Day advised that Mr. Edwards is a citizen of Renton who is interested in good government, Dahlquist stated the matter for consideration to be land usage and Mr. Day agreed except fol' point tht a block or b*area should be considered, not a lot or small parcel:. _�_ 440 Renton City Council Meeting 1-3-66 COMMUNICATIONS: (Cont.) Planning Commission Recommendations: Shane Property Rezone Councilman Perry inquired whether Mr. Edwards' property abutted the Shane property and was advised that it did not but was about 600 feet away, part of which is zoned B-1 and part Residential. Mr. Shane was recognized at this time and stated that the protestor's property was 2 miles from his and the adjoining property is light industry and the Planning Commission had considered the B-1 to be a logical use and approved the rezone. Moved by Hulse, seconded by Schellert to refer the rezone to the Planning Committee to consider unresolved problems. Morris objected to the motion inasmuch as the Planning Commission has recommended the rezone as well as the Planning staff which had already considered the protest by Mr. Edwards. Dahlquist requested legal opinion regarding the rezone and Schellert stated the intent of the motion was to clarify this point in order that action could be taken with a clear mind that it was the right decision. City Attorney Shellan stated that it is a general principal of law that spot zoning is illegal, and the question here is whether this constitutes spot zoning. First, what does the comprehensive land use map show this property to be as that will tell whether the rezone might be allowed in the first place. If it complies with the plan it can be rezoned. Question was called for on the pending motion. Mayor Custer declared the motion appearing to be lost by dissenting voice vote majority and upon hearing proper request,roll call vote was ordered which resulted as follows: Aye: Hulse, Schellert, Dahlquist, Trimm, and Delaurenti. No: Bruce, Pedersen, Perry, Poli and Morris. Upon tie vote report Mayor Custer cast a negative vote and the motion failed. Morris requested the Planning Director to report if the rezone conforms to the comprehensive plan. Planning Director Ericksen advised that the Comprehensive Plan and report adopted by the City of Renton indicates that this area would be suitable for Manufacturing use and it takes in the present R-3 area and extends, up along the highway from there. In view of the nature of the area and the- H-1 area adjoining the Commission determined that B-1 was not out of line as far as the Comprehensive Plan is concerned. The subject property is located adjacent to the Stoneway Dock Company property on the Maple Valley Highway and is presently zoned R-3. The Riviera Apartment complex is in the area at present and just down the line on the highway is a business district. The area in question is presently being used as a gravel storage site by the Stoneway Company, which is zoned Heavy Industry. The Com- mission had verified the legal ownership and reviewed the traffic situation with the traffic engineer who confirmed that the rezone would constitute no problem from the traffic standpoint, the main concern having been access The Commission decision was then postponed and a second hearing set to continue for consideration of questions brought up by Mr. Day on behalf of Mr. Edwards. At this time the rezone was approved the matter having been adequately studied and analyzed and the recommendation was con- sidered to be a valid one and in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Day ipquired regarding whether, in the area described as being zoned for manufacturing, it was planned for B-1. Mr.Ericksen replied in the affirmative. Mr. Day inquired whether that is also in the comprehensive plan and shown on the map. Director Ericksen advised that Mr. Shane could have, gotten.industrial zoning b,,t since the intended use is for business ft way recommended that the rezone requested be for B-1 instead of Industrial. This is a lesser use and is allowable and in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. Question was called for on the original motion to concur in the Planning Commission recommendation. The Mayor stated the motion appearing to be affirmative and after a third call declared the motion carried. Mr. Day requested consideration of the motion and roll call was requested by Delaurenti and Dahlquist and discussion ensued on whether members of the audience may appeal ruling of the chair. Dahlquist stated her opinion that any member of the audience who wishes to speak should be recognized.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS: Councilman Hulse reported attending a Metro meeting in the Mayor's behalf and outside of year end reports which will be sent to the Mayor and made available if anyone wishes to cee them, the proceedings were routine. One member made the comment that communications with the City of Renton were very good. Councilman Schellert submitted Ways and Means Committee recom"endation from referral of December 6, 1965 regarding deficit in 1964 Equipment Rental Fund, that the Utility Accountant, Ted Bennett, be authorized to make the necessary entries in the books of the Equipment Rental Fund which would indicate the Council had granted a credit to the Street fund in the sum of $17,290.89 and to the Current Fund in the sum of $1,015.40, effective December 31, 1965, which credits are needed to eliminate the Accounts Receivable to the Equipment Rental Fund from 1965, which was read by the Clerk. Mloved by Perry, seconded by Dahlquist, to concur in the recommendations of the Ways and Means Committee. Upon inquiry regarding the transactions., Accountant Ted Bennett advised that he had phoned Mr. Earry Sites, Chief, State Examin^rs, and according to the - RCW 35.21.088 the legislative body may transfer equipment, materials or supplies of any office or department to the equipment rental fund either without charge " or may grant a credit to such office or department equivalent to the value of the equipment received for future rental thus, the Street and Ci-rrent Funds are being issued such credits. Mayor Custer called a`-11ention to decision at budget hearing time that attempt Mould be made to -repay the $17,000 vhich had been accrued in 1964 duping the time the City had r_atituted tie equ _pment rental fund which was prior to requirement by state IFw and approval of the present recommendation would eliminate the need to:n:-a7cc in future budgeting. Inquiry was made whether this had been checked with our legal counsel and City Attorney Shella7 advised he had been contacted by Mr. Bennett and since this was primarily an accounting problem and not a _legal matter he had suggested he get in touch with Mr. Sites. Garrett inquired whether a written report is to be secured from the State Auditor, Mr. Sennett advised he has received nothing as yet but that it usually takes quite awhile. The pending motion carried. Councilman Pedersen submitted report of the Property Committee, Purchasing Agent and Library Board relative to bids on the library furniture which was read by the City Clerk as follows: 1. As the low bidder has not submitted satisfactory drawings or samples of some custom items, there is some uncertainty as to their meeting specifications. After investigation of numerous installations in many libraries and the plant where the equipment is made, expert opinion determined that it is not in the best ,..,. interest of the City to accept such low bids and it was recommended therefore that all items designated "Custom" be purchased from Magna Design, Inc. in sum of $8,609.50, along with low bid items in additional sum of $1,662,00 making total cost therefore, $10,271.50, plus tax $ 431.40 or total of $10,702.90.

The motion carried. Fund breakdown follows: Current Fund #1760 - 1830 $14,051.32 Street Fund 1831 - 1847 9,432.62 Arterial Street Fund 1848 95.72 North Renton Interchange 1849 3.00 Cedar River M. & I. 1850 - 1853 30.06 Equipment Rental Fund 1854 - 1888 2,119.63 Library 1889 - 1893 286.48 Parks 1894 - 1921 4,428.75 Water Works Utility 1922 - 1949 11,060.81 Airport 1950 - 1957 4,002.66 Firemen's Pension Fund 1958 3.13 Cumulative Reserve Fund 1894 1959 65.65 $45,579.83 L.Z.U. 254 Cash Fund Warrant #2 $854.63 L.I.D. 254 Revenue Fund Warrant #2 854.63 Councilman Hulse reminded the Capital Improvement Priority Committee of the meeting to be held on Tuesday, January 11th at 7:30 p.m. and requested also a short meeting of the Committee of the Whole immediately following adjournment of this meeting. Dahlquist called attention to statement made to her that certain businessmen in the City will not accept bids offered by the City because it takes too long to get their money. It was pointed out that all cities operate under same pro- cedure and City Clerk Nelson pointed out that estimates are submitted every 30 days during progress of the job and Vouchers are issued immediately upon receipt of the progress estimate from the Department Head and are presented to Council for approval every Monday and Warrants are issued on Tuesday. The only delay possible is on the retained percentage which must be held for 30 days or until the Department of Labor and Industry and Tax Commission releases come through and providing no claims are filed against the contract during that period, so if this payment is not released, it is the fault of the contractor. Inquiry was made whether Mrs. Dahlquist referred to a contractor and she said it was a person who builds a lot of things for banks and who is a real good builder in his line of work. She cited the library contract and shelving and tables which might be built. Members of the Council confirmed that warrants are set up as promptly as the law allows and it was moved by Hulse, seconded by Schellert, that the matter be referred to the Auditing and Accounting Committee for investi- gation. Morris spoke in opposition to the motion asserting that procedures of the law are available if members of the Council wish to avail themselves of same and that no delay in payment is made otherwise. Upon inquiry, Office Engineer, Dick Houghton of the Engineering Department confirmed that it is required that an estimate be made every 30 days and estimates are figured by measuring the quantity of materials put in place. Progress estimates are filed with the City Clerk and Vouchers are prepared immediately and presented at the very next meeting of the Council, along with the letter with estimates. The only other time there might be a delay the City Clerk advised is when a matter has to go before a Board and when the Board approves the payment it is sutmitted the next Monday and Warrant issued on Tuesday. Garrett added that the bills are handled as expeditiously as the law allows them to be and this perhaps is part of the hazard of doing business with public agencies. It was suggested that the con- tractor be fully advised of the procedure and that the matters are being handled expeditiously. The motion was voted upon and failed and the individual was in- vited to make request to the Council and it will find out what his problem is. Councilman Pedersen announced a meeting of the Property Committee on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. Moved by Pedersen, seconded by Schellert, that the date of February 7, 1966 be set for hearing on Council initiated rezone of Emilio Pierotti property as per "roperty Committee recommendation at time sale of subject land was made to Mr. Pierotti. After discussion regarding ownership and rezone policy, the pending motion carried. Garrett opposed.

Carried. -1- Renton City Council Meeting 1-24-66 COMMUNICATIONS: (Cont.) A Public Notice No. P-66-4 was received from the Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers, advising of application by Puget Sound Power & Light Company for permit to place a fill in the waters of Lake Washington, fronting the Boeing Company,as per print attached. Any comments or objections to be submitted not later than February 12, 1966 to the U.S. Army Engineer District office at Seattle. A second Public Notice No. P-66-5 advised of application from Puget for a Dept. of the Army permit to construct outflow water diversion structure and to relocate five 7-pile dolphins in the water of Lake Washington, per prints attached. Objections to be submitted in writing not later than February 12th. Moved by Schellert, seconded by Dahlquist, to refer the matter to the Committee of the Whole. Upon inquiry, City Engineer Wilson advised that he had received copies of said Notices,foresees no objection,but further investigation is intended and the pending motion carried. A letter from City Attorney Shellan advised of opinion recently handed down by the Supreme Court of the State of Washington in the case of Baxter-Wyckoff Co. vs. City of Seattle which involved use by a private company of public right-of-way and the charges made therefor by the Municipality. After paying annual fee for many years the Company refused to pay further challenging validity of fees claiming they had a right as abutting land owner to use the street in any fashion which did not inter- fere with rights of the public. The Court's conclusion was that the abutting land- owner has no right to build permanent structures in the street nor to set up storage yards therein for private business purposes. Rights of abutting owners are limited to rights of ingress and egress, light, air, water and certain temporary and non- exclusive uses of the street. Any temporary permit granted by the City was merely a privilege and the use granted could be prohibited by the City absolutely or could be granted upon such terms and conditions as the City may see fit to impose. This is a matter strictly within discretion of the City Council and the City would be within its rights to charge such property users according to the square footage of the street area being used.

A letter Was read from A. M. Roberts, Attorney for Mr. John Lavin of 12401 S.E. 142nd Place, objecting to assessments levied against Lots 2, 3 and 4 due to fact that lots 3 and 4 are entirely within the City of Seattle right-of-way for the Seattle-Diablo transmission line and cannot be improved and would not therefore benefit in any way by the improvement, and also a portion of Lot 2 One water service was ordered for Lots 1 and 2 and it was requested that the subject assessments be re- distributed over the remaining benefitting lots, and deleted from Mr. Lavin's cost. A Fire and Water Committee report was submitted at this time recommending that the City assume the assessments on Lots 3 and 4 since it is not possible to build on these lots with stipulation that if at any time in the future the easement restrictions are removed a connection fee equal to the present assessment should be paid prior to meter installation which total is in sum of $677.64, to be funded from Waterworks Utility Maintenance Fund 7120, Acct. 606, Watermain Extensions. Audience comment was invited and Attorney Roberts urged that Lot 2 be also included in release from assessment.

Mr. Roberts submitted a different map from the City's which had been prepared for Mr. Lavin by the Department of Lighting of the City of Seattle and urged that the question of Lot -1- Renton City Council Meeting 2-14-66 HEARING: L.I.D. 254 Final Assessment Roll (Cont. ) 2 prior to any conclusive action being taken by the Council.

Alhadeff, Vice-President and General Manager of Longacres Race Track advised of great interest in the new Library under construction at Renton and in view of the fact that Renton is the capitol of Thoroughbred racing in the State, suggested that the Library contain a section on horse racing and the horse in general. Donation was offered consisting of four hundred racing books containing the charts and records of all races run in the United States since 1933 which books are the personal collection of Mr. Joseph Gottstein, President of the Washington Jockey Club, and are valuable in that they are one of the few complete records of racing at Longacres and the United States.

' Councilman Pedersen reported regarding request of Wilco Properties, Inc. to purchase parcel of land on Northwest corner of Burnett Street No. and 4th Avenue No. , that the Committee, after conference with the Planning Director, City Engineer and Traffic Engineer, has recommended that the request be denied it being determined that parking in this small area would force the vehicles to back out onto the lanes of Burnett Street. Also persons using the area would have to cross 4th Avenue North and the poor visibility due to the railroad crossing would not allow desirable crosswalk. When the 3rd & 4th Avenue North complex is constructed it would seem likely this right of way could be utilized for a free right turn lane onto 4th Avenue North. Moved by Morris, seconded by Schellert, to concur in the recommendation. Carried. -3- Renton City Council Meeting 2-14--66 COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS: UNFINISHED BUSINESS: Councilman Pedersen, Chairman of the Property Committee, submitted his Committee report which recommended that the City exchange 3.5+ acres of Lake Washington Beach property, and The Boeing Company to meet considerations proposed as follows: 1. Provide the City free and clear title to approximately 1.8 acres of Foss property according to map submitted. Estimate of cost $77,000 2. The Boeing Company to install cyclone fence with cedar slots along newly created property line between the park and Puget Sound Power and Light Company steam plant apron. Cost, $ 4,725.00 3. Pay to the City in cash, $92,500.00 for culverting of the stream and for payments to provide perpetual maintenance of railroad crossing signals at park entrance; all legal matters to be handled by the City Attorney. Moved by Pedersen, seconded by Poli, that the Park Board Communication be taken from the table for action at this time. Carried. Park Board which was submitted by Gene Coulon, Park Director, outlined the Board's findings and actions which followed study of the proposal from the Boeing Company. Regarding release of 3.5+ acres of beach park property,it was pointed out that .just recently the City completed a "701 Study" a part of which related to community facilities which in- dicated a need to acquire additional land to the north side of the present site, and the Puget Sound Governmental Conference three-year study resulted in recom- mendation that top priority be given to water recreation sites and that every piece of existing public recreation land should be held inviolate against any other kind of development. The City's six-year plan submitted to the interagency Committee in Olympia timely enough to be eligible for funds this year,part of work required in establishing eligibility for state and federal matching funds also indicated a need to acquire additional property adjacent to the present park site. The Board feels there is need to retain and add to the land we already have, and that reclaiming of 1.22 acres is not necessary for the park development, the stream having been purposely re- located to act as a natural barrier between the park and railroad property. Also, there is an existing cyclone fence separating the properties which is quite adequate. Regarding the railroad crossing signal maintenance, this is a charge requited by the railroad for maintenance. It is a one-time cost and since Puget Sound Tower& Light Co. will be using the crossing to get to its property, it should share in the cost. It is the Park Board's belief that the benefit to the community from recreational standpoint far surpasses other use which may be made of the property and it recommended that the Boeing Company request be denied. Planning Commission member. Dick Stredicke advised the Planning Commission,at its last meeting,had recommended that a letter be directed to the Council opposing the sale of any property in the Beach Park area and urging acquisition of any additional land which might be available , Pedersen objected to discussion not within confines of the Council, Councilman Morris, speaking on the Property Committee recommendation advised that an appraisal of the Foss property had been requested and he would not be able to vote until comparison values had been secured. Councilman Perry, Member of the Property Committee, outlined monetary factors deemed to be advantageous to the City and reflected that 9 months of study and consideration have gone into the matter and the Committee feels the package deal is a good one, it being dgsirable to acquire the Foss property as the water in front of this land is now owned by the City by reason of the recent harborline revision. Dr. Bardarson pointed out that with the anticipated growth of the area the present water front property is in- adequate and that there comes' a time when the needs of the citizens are to be realized. After reading of excerpt from letter by Dr. Bardarson, on behalf of the Renton Sailing Club opposing sale of property in the beach area, citizens spoke against the release of. any land in the interest of the children and families of the Community whose rights are to be protected as a proper city function. Speakers included Mrs. Jean Gosse, 10203 - 115th Ave. S.E., Mr. Roth Courtney, 10107 - 115th Avenue S.E., Mr. Wilburt Olsen, 1251 S.E . 90th Street, Phyllis Grimes, Secretary of the Allied Arts organization, Peggy Shideler, of the Renton Park Board, and Tom Teasdale, Chairman of the Park Board who inquired when encroachment of park property is going to cease stating that the concern of,:the Board is to protect the taxpayer and to secure additional property for their leisure hour enjoyment. He also pointed out that the valuation of the properties involved is quite different and that ours is improved and level and the Foss property is not. Mrs, Bardarson, speaking for Allied Arts, Inc., pointed out that this is one of the few green areas left along the lake and that it is a peaceful and lovely spot which should not be measured in dollars and cents but consideration should be given to its <-,stheti:: and spiritual value and its development for public use is the hope of the citizens of the community. Moved by Perry, seconded by Bruce, to concur with the Property Committee report. Schellert inquired regarding affect on future land acquisition of the vote on this moti6p. Attorney Shellan pointed out that if the property is sold some question may arise if the City then tries to condemn to acquire property in the area where it has just traded off 3.5+ acres of the property. The City has the right to trade with other municipalities and with private parties but whether it is advantageous to trade needs to be decided. -4 Renton City Council Meeting 2-14-66 COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS: UNFINISHED BUSINESS: cont.) Property Committee Report - Lake Wn. Beach property Pedersen reported the Property Committee felt it would be able to reclaim land which it cannot now use as it would be fixed to eliminate hazard presently existing for children and with addition of the Foss property the city would lose only a portion of an acre Moved by Morris, seconded by Poli, to refer the matter to the Committee of the Whole. Upon dissenting voice vote, roll call was requested and resulted as follows: Aye: Hulse, Schellert, Poli and Morris. No: Pedersen, Bruce, Gianini, Garrett, Trimm and Perry. With four aye votes and six no votes the motion was lost. Upon inquiry by Hulse regarding proximity of the sailing club building to the subject area Park Director Coulon advised within 250 feet or e ,cn closer. Park Director Coulon pointed out that the Council is talking in terms of money not roal estate, that what the City is going to get for return was not considered by the Par's Loard. Its only concern is ' with property and what it could do for t:>e City with water front property being at a premium and being mindful of the recom,n-_'atof the bud-,et for the governmental project that a hold should be put on all ^_•e;erty, Planning Director Ericksen recalled adoption of the City's Co7prchensive and Community Facilities Plans in which the subject area is included End a(:vised that if there is to be readjustment possibly the matter should go back to the Plarnin,d Commission for public hearing prior to any conclusive Council action. Pedersen moved the previous question on motion to concur in the Cc:nm_ttee recommendations. It. was pointed out that a ,2/3 vote is required and the matter is not debatable. Morris stated the business cannot be conducted for the citizens properly if debate is cut off. The welfare of the community is involved and it s':c,.: 1)? c^A_i ascus--'-_,1 and vote not forced. Moved by P611, "seconded by Morris, to table the matter until the next meeting. City Attorney Shellan pointed out that neither motion is dcbata'Dle and that it ta:;es a 2/3 vote on each with motion to table having priority and tc,king precedence. Pedersen stated inasmuch as his motion w"as not debatable vote s'..ould have been, taken.. ' The motion to table was voted upon and hearing discenting voice vote roll call vote, was requested and resulted as follows: Aye: Hulse, Schellert, Gian r,i, Po"I and Morris No: Bruce, Pedersen; Garrett, Trimm and Perry. A 5 to 5 tie resulted and the motion was lost Vote was taken on the previous question for concurrence in the Committee report and was declared lost. Garrett deemed speeches to be now in order. Dr. Bardarson again spoke stating that although it mirlht- be a good deal money wise would the city then dispose of one.-half or all of the property if offered good deals and where does it stop. Mr. Jack Scannell, 9514 - 100th 'Ave. S4E. advocated justification in actions of both the Park Board and the Property Committee in doing -1-7:-.^ir job., Mr. Sconnell was advised upon inquiry that approximately 20 acres are involved in toe total park site and he observed that we are concerned. in' losing about 1.7 acres and re^_laimir.; 1,22 acres which we own now and could reclaim anyway, for an estimated $80,0)0.00, the price per acre not being particularly important. Inference that Boeing might go elsewhere was discounted inasmuch as they need only this 3.5 to complete a total 20 or 30 acres they are getting in the area and although work has been stopped at present the additional 3.5 acres is not a requisite for completion of the final assembly plant. The factor of $4.8,000.00 per year property tax was to be considered inasmuch as in ten years receipts of $480,000.00 would allow purchase of any parcel. of land desired. It was confirmeid that the Park Board has not expanded the park site 'to date due to lack of funds as if we had already picked up the ten acres to the north then the 1.7 acres we would lose would be in- significant. He inquired whether the transaction with Boeing could be delayed pending acquisition of additional land desired and then perhaps re-negotiate. It is Council's position to decide what will be best for the citizens of Renton and to be concerned with anticipated expansion and the whole community not two or three interests. Perhaps the matter should be returned to the Property Committee for appraisal of the undeveloped property. Inquiry was made Tegarding affect on applications for matching funds which list present sites as they now exist and Director Coulon advised that this is the concern expressed by the Park Board. Regarding reclaimin3s,f nds therefore are not ,presently available nor for development of the park but if they so decide at a later date and funds are available they could proceed. Levelling is an important factor with railroad property levels involved. -5- Renton City Council Meeting 2-14-66 4,73 COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS (cont.) UNFINISHED BUSINESS Lake Wn. Beach-Property Committee report) Moved by Poli, seconded by Morris, to refer the matter back to the property committee to re-negotiate on square ft. per square ft. basis. Perry and Pedersen advised this has been done, that additional property cannot be secured for us by Boeing, that the matter has been negotiated for nine months and gone over again and again. Also no authority has been given -to get appraisal on land we may buy. It was suggested that if this proposal is favorable it should be approved and if not, turn it down. Moved by Poli, seconded by Morris, to refer the matter back to the Property Committee to secure an appraisal and renegotiate the 3.5+ acres. Pedersen reported this has been attempted and cannot be accomplished as Foss does not want to sell. The City Attorney pointed out that it could be condemned. Vote resulted in dissent and roll call was requested which resulted as follows: Aye: Hulse, Schellert, Gianini, Poli and Morris. No: Bruce, Pedersen, Garrett, Trimm and Perry. The vote was 5 to 5 and the motion was lost. Mayor Custer had arrived and it was suggested he break the tie. Recess was declared after which roll call was taken with all Councilmen present as previously listed. Upon request, the Property Committee recommendation to accept the Boeing Company proposal was again read. After discussion on propriety of the action, Mayor Custer assumed the chair which Hulse vacated. Moved by Morris, seconded by Schellert, to reconsider the motion which had just lost. The motion was declared out of order as the maker was not on prevailing side of the prior motion. Moved by Schellert, seconded by Morris, to refer the matter back to the Property Committee for appri al and determination of valuations of areas involved, and to the Park Board, which was added upon request and with permission of second. Upon dissenting voice vote, roll call was taken and resulted as follows: Hulse, Schellert, Gianini, Poli, and Morris. No: Bruce, Pedersen, Garrett, Trimm and Perry. The five to five tie vote was broken when Mayor Custer voted aye sending the matter back to the Property Committee and to the Park Board. Councilman Garrett, Chairman of the Street and Alley Committee, reported that no letter has been received regarding parking on particular streets which had been referred to his committee. Councilman Perry reported that the pamphlets to be submitted to the Kennydale voters is ready and may be seen at the Chamber of Commerce at this time.

Councilman Pedersen inquired as to whether his Property Committee or the Park Board has jurisdiction over the property acquisition which was referred to both earlier in the meeting. Upon request, City Attorney Shellan answered that the Property Committee's function is to acquire property and negotiate. Once it has been acquired and turned over to the Park Department then the Park Board has sole jurisdiction of maintenance until such time as the property is disposed of and all thg control the Council then has is matter of finance. Perry added that at the last meeting with the Park Board and Committee of the Whole, all were agreed that the City would accept payment in lieu of improvement and otherwise there had been no objection so the Property Committee pro- ceeded on that basis. -6- 174 Renton City Council Meeting 2-14-66 COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS: (cont.)

Hulse pointed out that the arterial plan included this street and if need is warranted the right of way would be undercon struction within ten years. The amendment was voted upon at this time and Carried and the original motion, as amended, to concur in the recc mendation with provision for commencement by May 1, also carried. The letter from the Railroad Company was amended by Mr. Tjossem to con- form to the Council ' s action, and the Mayor advised that the Preliminary Plat was now accepted. Recess was declared at this time. After the recess roll was taken and all Council Members were present as previously listed. Upon inquiry by Hulse regarding effect of prior action on future develop- mont insofar as time limit is concerned, City Attorney Shellan advised that it was not likely that precddent would be set unless a situation arises involving industrial plat bordering the railroad. Letter from Mr. Dwight Gardner, Citizens Advisory Committee, Green River Flood Control Zone District, submitted names of the five-man Committee and advised of offer to cooperate in any way to assist development of the Watershed Project in the best manner consistent with Comprehensive Planning. A letter from Planning Director Ericksen submitted Planning Commission recommendation from its meeting of February 9th that the Council be advised of the critical need for park and recreational land with par- ticular emphasis on the need for public water access and the -Commissi.on , would like to go on record as opposing any sale of park property with respect to the need for the City to acquire additional park land while it is still available. The Commission requested to be advised of any negotiations x-eJALtive to the sale or trade of park or recreational property in view of public interest involved. -4- February 21, 1966 ADDENDUM TO THE MINUTES - Supplement to Page 4 - Planning Commission Recommendations Preliminary Plat of Pacific Coast* Railroad Company's Earlington properties in vl�.inity of 7th Avenue and extension of 87th Avenue South which proposed Plat is in accord with the Comprehensive Plan. City Attorney Shellan reported that the matter had come before the Planning Com- mission a few weeks ago and representatives of the Railroad were present. The parcel was outlined in green on wall map,to which City Attorney Shellan referred, and the railroad apparently had agreed with the Planning Commission recommendation that the street right-of-way below 7th Avenue would be dedicated. The Planning Commission :arid Planning Director felt an additional dedication should be made of area to the North of 7th Avenue with the idea in mind that sometime in the future a connection would be established with Dunlap Canyon Road.l.The railroad took the position that this would cut up and interfere with the orderly development of the property located North of 7th Avenue. 2. The City didn't need it as it would be too costly to improve. 3. Would not benefit railroad property as it would be served by 7th Avenue exclusively. There was some doubt as to whether such proposed improvement, involving corssing of the railroad tracks, would be feasible or probable in the foreseeable future and it appears there was some difference of opinion among the City officials in regard thereto. It should be remembered that the City can demand dedication of right-of-way within a plat where it is reasonably required to accommodate the users within the platted property, but that if any such right-of-way, such as an arterial, is primarily for the benefit of the general public then the question arises as to whether the city can require a plattor to dedicate same free of charge. Mr. Shellan advised that he had discussed the matter with Mr. Clarke Eckart, President of the railroad, on several occasions in an attempt to work out a compromise. Mr. Eckart offered a two-year period which in Mr. Shellan's opinion was completely unacceptable. After some more discussion, a ten-year reversion period was arrived at which, in view of the serious legal questions involved, was considered a reasonable period. Mr. Shellan also discussed this matter with the Chairman of the Planning Com- mission whQ discussed it with the individual members of the Commission who indi(zated this compromise, in their opinion, was a very reasonable and fair one to the City. Mr. Shellan's only further suggestion was that the Railroad's letter of committment be clanged so that the corrected sentence will read as follows: "We will convey the area outlined green to the City for street purposes on condition that this property will revert to the Railroad Company on Mayl, 1976 unless the City, prior to that date, has commenced construction of an extension of 87th Avenue South from Seventh Avenue South to a connection with Sunset Highway, including an underpass under or an overpass over the Pacific Coast R.R. right of way. ALSO TO CORRECT: In Paragraph 2 of Page 4, line 10 should read, "After recommendation that the reversion date be effected in event the construction has not been commenced, instead of completed, it was moved by Schellert, seconded by Dahlquist, to refer the matter to the Planning Committee, several points having been offered which it was felt needed further dis- cussion. - - - -4A- .J ). t. 1...

Councilman Pedersen, Chairman of the Property Committee, reported that his Committee had met with the Park Board and other Council Members last Thursday and again this evening and no further progress has been made on the Lake Washington Beach Park matter insofar as any mutual agreement is concerned and it was recommended that a public hearing date of March 14th be set, for public review of the matter. Moved by Morris, seconded by Schellert, to concur and the City Engineer was requested to furnish a map showing all en2roachments and pertinent features for exhibit. The motion carried. Mr. Charles Shane stated he would like to call attention to the fact that the same members who were opposed to sale of the property to him were now in favor of selling and he wished to make inquiry of each member beginning with Mr. Pedersen. Remarks from the audience were declared out of order at this time and Mr. Shane was invited to speak later in the meeting when audience comment is invited. Moved by Schellert, seconded by Hulse, to move the next item of business. Pedersen advised he would willingly answer any questions at the proper time in the conduct of business but that the regular order should not be interrupted by comment from other than Council Members. The pending motion carried. Councilman Garrett, Chairman of the Street and Alley Committee, submitted his report regarding referral of possible removal of parking from Garden Street between 8th Ave. North and Lake Wn. Blvd. Attention was called to previous action,when the area parking was restricted, and upon a request of The Boeing Company to utilize the street for parking purposes the subsequent lifting of the restriction. Due to the expansion program presently under way the problem in the area has not yet reached its peak. The Boeing Co. is aware of the need for additional parking area and is negotiating at present for additional _land. Inasmuch as Garden Street is not a part of the City's arterial street system, serving primarily only as access to the Boeing Parking lots and since critical need still exists, the Committee recommended parking not be restricted until additional off-street parking areas are developed. Moved by Poli, seconded by Schellert, to concur in the recommendation of the Committee. Carried.

Moved by Trimm, and seconded by Gianini, to concur in the bid awards as recommended. Carried.

Moved by Garrett, seconded by Bruce, that this letter be referred to the P=e rty Com- mittee. The motion carried. — Audience comment was invited at this time. Mr. Dean Morgan was introduced and repreb.-.,t- ing the Boeing Company, outlined the proposed exchange of properties, including service and monetary considerations,which were presented with the aid of maps and charts to illustrate various factors: Included in the exchange would be a purchase for benefit of the City of 1.8 acres of the Foss owned property at cost of $77,000.00; provide 1175` of culvert material, reclaiming thereby 1.22 acres of land, $80,000.00; perpetual sig al F- 7.ntenance contract for railroad crossing, $12,500.00 and install cyclone fence with far slats along property line, $4,725.00, or any combination in lieu thereof as the :y may wish per prior discussion. The Boeing Company expansion plans vee outlined anM the need for the additional high bay area now occupied by Puget dou.d Power and Light Company which cannot be sold until land is acquired to relocate existing, buildings and facilities which,as proposed, would be the 3.5 acres Boeing desires to secure fon the City to exchange with Puget. Audience comment was invited and those persons making inquiry and speaking in opposition to the transfer of property included Mr. Tom Cooke, who pointed out that 4 acres of land were available across the street which Puget Power might utilize for relocations in lieu of the City land. He also inquired regarding right of public domain and =t was pointed out that the City has condemnation rights but must have funds available to so act. Mr. Addison Ames inquired whether the proposal will infringe upon existing buildings a marina would be in. futurd development plans. Infringement was designated on the 3,5 acres and a marina had been planned as a facility in the finished patter-.. J1 n -,ry Parc-._Director, ,Gene . Coulon, in connection with this particular develop--ont p:_,��� pointed out that an inventory had been taken so that the City might quailfy for funds and that a six-year plan for park development and acquisition has been filed ,,here-n a need to acquire additional property within two years adjacent ':o -hg Beach Park property was designated,as shown a l-o in the 701 Plan which denotes need for acquisition to meet pressing needs of the Puget Sound area. Mr, Morgan stated that the building in question (sailing club structure) could be relocated _f its to be subject to infringement; the Boeing Company would make such acco-mmodation as may by necessary. Others speaking regarding relocation of the Puget Sound facilities a opposing the property trade included Mr. Charles Shane, Dr. and Mrs Bardarson, Mr, a Mrs. David Gosse, Charles Stimson, Dr. Peter Roffey, Mr� James Marenakos, Wilburt OMn, Mrs. Phyllis McGerry and Ben Wagner.

Also speaking during ensuing discussion were Ann Pile, Elizabeth Rivily, Frank Ives and Phillip Erwin. Prior trade of portion of Mothers Park for the Lake Washington Beach property w brought up and inquiry made as to whether restrictions had been transferred in the transaction. Park Beard Member Tom Teasdale recalled that at the time the park had been acquired on Lake Washington the legislators were informed, and it was the intent that the property be likewide dedicated for park and recreation purposes only. Upon inquiry City Attorney Shellan advised that Mr. Lee Monohan had donated Mothers Park to the City with restricted use and that later heirs had claimed interest and at this time had been paid and the interest released and restrictions removed with no transfer of restrictions being made in the exchange. Mr. Shellan pointed out that under the law a City has the right to exchange or trade property with a Municipal Corporation or with private parties, 1. If they find the part that is traded is of no further use to the City and 2. If the transaction would be of benefit to the general public. If the Council feels that even though some land is being lost the money makes up for the difference then the Council only can decide this, He also stated that the City may condemn as far up the lake as it has money for, however cautioned against , just after_ selling, its buying property it has just disposed of for private use, as problems may arise. Park Director Coulon advised that in 1954 the Park, Board, City Council and Planning Commission had instructed him to look for water front urc and that 15+ acres were traded forthis 22 acres of swamp which was subsequently filled 2 sloped to provide maintenance at less cost with thought in mind it could be later i eloped, and that work has been done over the past year and a half t^lard securing mewching funds to proceed. The Six year report said in the first part of 1968 the City would attempt to acquire an additional 5-10 acres. The recommended acreage is 4 acre per 1000 persons and we are short 22 acres according to present population. Question arose as to effect the exchange may have on the City's application for aid, $55,000 having been allocated pursuant to application filed with the interagency Committee which application would now be changed in content. It was felt in the near future with the $110,OOO.00 ,development of the area might be commenced, Mr. Coulon asked that the application be kept active and accordingly the Park Board felt no other action could be taken. Mr. Coulon displayed a drawing and a Qvis�-d the area to be reclaimed was closer to 3/4 acre rather than 1.2 acres. int-nutes of the Renton City Council sleeting 3-14-1966 PU,C C HEARING (Co-nt.)

Perry c=alled attention to recommerdat-ons that the reclaiming is not necessary for the para- development and that the area to be exchanged had been for anticipated parking use ,�,hich can be relocated onto the Foss property, and referring to inner harbor line re- location outlined approximate 500 ft- of land was available for use as well as the island for additional development- After further discussion on funds to be available .if1 pr^perty to be developed, it was moved by Schellert, seconded by Hulse, that in place of the recommendation of the Property Committee, motion be substituted that the land ne,5otiations be held to square ft. per square ft, basis. Inquiry was made as to w_�eth^:r this meant improved for unimproved pre erty and dollar value for dollar value. Perry and ?-edersen stated this would not resolve the problem this having been tried unsuccessfully during the past nine months, that the negot'���tions had been in good faith and +he offer is a fair one and to start all over again will accomplish nothing. t--ited '' e had. not favored selling park property and recalled 20-25 years ago wkien to City LFd no industry and wanted it and now that it was here and the Property Cormm ttee '_,.as Leen appoint-d to act on behalf of the Council, he fejt the Council should n 'pack t?:e Committee.
