Mr. Perteet reported that the Rainier Ave. Widening project consists of a series of safety and capacity improvements along the existing Rainier Ave. corridor. He stated that there will be visual improvements, including gateway signs and landscaping, as well as capacity improvements at S. Grady Way and Rainier Ave. S., and at S. 7th St. He reported that environmental studies are approximately 99%complete, and the project's design is approximately 95% complete. He reviewed the status of parcel acquisitions, and noted that although there may be a few problems acquiring some parcels, no one has voiced opposition to the project. Concluding, Mr. Perteet stated that the project is approximately five or six weeks behind schedule due to acquiring right-of-way, and that in the best case scenario the project will bid on 5/23/2011 with construction beginning the first week in August. He remarked that the worst case scenario is that the project will bid on 9/26/2011 with construction beginning in January or February of 2012. He added that it will be an 18 to 24 month project. Responding to Council President Briere's inquiry, Mr. Perteet explained that it estimated to take three months between the time the bid is conducted and when construction actually begins, and that this time-frame could possibly be shortened by a couple of weeks. Mr. Barber reported that State law dictates the condemnation process, and that the related ordinance must be mailed to all persons with interest in the properties. 1 O6 April 11, 2011 Renton City Council Minutes Page 106 Mr. Barber also reported that everyone on title, whether by deed, easement or other means, must be given a copy of the ordinance, and must also be given notice a minimum of 15 days prior to its adoption. He stated that the ordinance must also be published twice in two different newspapers. Continuing, Mr. Barber reported that if the ordinance is adopted it must be filed in King County Superior Court and the parties of interest must file a response. He advised that this is only the first step in the process and that the City must also motion the court that the condemnation is for public use and necessity. He also advised that property owners are not required to give the City use and possession of their properties until after they have been paid fair market value. He noted that if property owners sue the City they may lose their right to recover attorney fees if they cannot prove that their properties are worth at least ten percent more than what the City offered to pay for them.

Community and Economic Development Administrator Alex Pietsch introduced Planning Director Chip Vincent,Associate Planner Angie Mathias, and consultant Dara O'Byrne from MAKERS Architecture. Ms. O'Byrne thanked City officials and staff for the opportunity to work on the City Center Community Plan. She summarized how MAKERS Architecture helped with the public participation process beginning in 2009 in an effort to receive feedback and public input. Associate Planner Angie Mathias explained that the City Center Community Plan lays out the goals,vision, elements and strategy for the City's first community planning area. She remarked that the area is roughly three square miles in size and includes the original growth center and a designated growth center where tremendous growth is expected over the next 20 years. Ms. Mathias stated Phase I of the plan which was endorsed by City Council in 2010. f.. Continuing, Ms. Mathias stated that Phase II of the plan involved meeting with departments and environmental teams to develop and refine strategies to implement goals and policies, and presenting the plan to the Planning Commission and stakeholders for feedback. Ms. Mathias stated that the implementation strategy review has eliminated details that were not clear and identified the roles of responsible parties, resources, public involvement, and the implementation timeframe.She provided a brief summary of the 8 goals outlined in the implement strategy along with 52 sub-goals. Continuing, Ms. Mathias stated that in order to ensure the plan is fully implemented,a Stewardship Committee is proposed with responsibilities of tracking plan progress, identifying priorities and reporting progress to Council. She remarked that the Stewardship Committee would include 16 members from the community.

Correspondence was entered into the record from Remzi Ateser,Sr. (Renton), Robert Raphael,Co-President of Service Laundry Supply(Renton)and Sarah Becker(Renton)expressing suggestions and support for the City Center Community Plan. Public comment was invited. Michael Christ(Renton)expressed appreciation for those who worked on the plan. He suggested that Council consider moving the location of the northern 178 June 6, 2011 Renton City Council Minutes Page 178 terminus of the multi-modal parking structure from NE 8th St to a more central location near the Puget Power lay-down yard, and also, relative to the water taxi notion,to add preservation of deep water access in harbor areas in north Renton as a goal of the Community Plan. Larry Martin (Bellevue) of Davis Wright Tremaine, representing the Cugini family, expressed support for adoption of the City Center Community Plan. Referring to goal number four of the plan, he urged City Council to look at the area with the objectives of preserving and promoting the integrity of the single- family area and working with the area residents and property owners to ensure the boundaries will be appropriately set. Nora Schultz(Renton) remarked that the North Renton Neighborhood had also created a loose plan for the area. She indicated the group supports the trolley idea; however,to afford more flexibility would like to see a rubber trolley instead of a rail trolley. She voiced concern about the promenade design along the Cedar River trail,which seems to conflict with goal number four,would be complex and costly,and would take away desired residential when there is already enough commercial. James Stanek(Renton) recommended an emphasis on pedestrian traffic areas, sidewalk cafes,and bicycle-friendly use in the City Center Community Plan. He stated that he also liked the idea of changing the designation of SR 900 to Logan Ave and that a theme for the area might be appropriate.

He stated that his group is eagerly anticipating the annexation election to be held in February 2012, and asked that Council proceed with the scheduled vote and not postpone that election. Mayor Law clarified that postponement of the annexation election is not being considered by Council at this time; however the administration continues to work on the funding that would be needed to allow this annexation to happen. If Council decided more time is needed for this,they could make a decision to postpone prior to the City being fully committed to the expense of the election. 179 June 6, 2011 Renton City Council Minutes Page 179 Citizen Comment: McOmber— Howard McOmber(Renton) presented art work from the Highlands Community Art Show by Highlands Association Art Show held on May 21.

Citizen Comment: DeMastus— Sandel DeMastus(Renton), President of AARP of Renton, announced her National Awards group's growing membership and recent receipt of a national award. She described the new social security public service announcement that will be airing nationwide, and stated that they are working on educating senior citizens about where to go to get help when needed Citizen Comment: Dineen— Jeff Dineen (Renton) expressed support for the relocation of the downtown Relocation of the Downtown library. He stated that he believes by relocating the library, the City can Library efficiently address the acquisition of a modern facility; and the continued revitalization of the downtown core area. Mr. Dineen also remarked that the proposed new library is feasible and will have better transportation access and parking space. Citizen Comment: Forister— Phyllis Forister(Renton) stated that City Council and the King County Library Relocation of the Downtown System (KCLS) have misinformed the public by saying that the Renton taxpayers Library are responsible for building two new libraries for KCLS ownership. She stated that all other KCLS branches outside of Renton are being improved through a KCLS area voter-approved bond issue. Ms. Forister stated that if KCLS wants two new libraries in Renton, they should place it on the ballot for the voters to decide. Ms Forister stated that this expense should not be placed on Renton tax payers, and Council should free them from this burden. ONO Citizen Comment:Tabak— Judy Tabak(Renton) reviewed the ballot measure where the City of Renton Relocation of the Downtown annexed to the King County Library District. She stated that the statements Library were not clear enough for the voters to make an informed decision and many feel misled. Citizen Comment:Samargis— Nick Samargis (Renton)expressed opposition to the relocation of the Relocation of the Downtown downtown library. He urged Council to refurbish the existing library. Mr. Library Samargis remarked that the City needs more businesses in the downtown area, not a library. He also offered suggestions for use of the Big 5 location. Citizen Comment: Spahn— Chris Spahn (Renton) requested concrete answers to questions regarding the Relocation of the Downtown proposed relocation of the downtown library. She remarked that citizens need Library to know the facts. She inquired about costs, improvements needed to continue current use, improvements needed for other uses, use of the old building, renovation period, and downsizing. Mayor Law asked Community and Economic Development Administrator Alex Pietsch to respond to Ms.Spahn's questions. Mr. Pietsch explained that the KCLS believes that they can provide extended service in less square footage because they do not need much office space in the building. He stated that both KCLS libraries in Issaquah and Fairwood are 15,000 square feet and circulate nearly twice as many materials as Renton's current library. Regarding the cost of remodeling the existing library, Mr. Pietsch explained that based on planning estimates only,$10.7 million is estimated to fully remodel the existing downtown library to meet KCLS standards, which is more than 180June6, 2011 Renton City Council Minutes Page 180 what it would cost to build a new library in downtown. He further explained that it is possible that the existing library could go through modernization without being fully remodeled. Mr. Pietsch remarked that approximately$2 million in upgrade would be needed in order to fully utilize all of the square footage in the building. He also stated the KCLS feels they can provide expanded services if more centrally located in the downtown core. Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington added that KCLS's study shows that even with upgrades,the 47-year old existing library building is not optimally sized to provide service for the next 40 years. Mr. Pietsch explained that Renton voters will never pay for the KCLS 2004 bonds and that KCLS is acting appropriately by asking Renton to fund construction of the two new Renton libraries. He explained that when first discussing annexation, KCLS said they felt there were deficits in both of the City facilities, as even indicated in the City's library master plan, and that they would want to see those upgraded. KCLS indicated they could not ask the rest of the KCLS taxpayers, already paying for the 2004 bonds,to pay for Renton library building improvements just because Renton did not previously keep the buildings up to standards. Mr. Pietsch also stated that the Interlocal Agreement with KCLS approved by Council on July 6, 2009 affirmed that the City would build two new libraries if annexation to KCLS was supported by the voters. Mr. Pietsch added that information relating to library issues is on the City's website, and more will be provided to the public when it becomes available. Councilmember Corman emphasized that Council is still reviewing the issues. Councilmember Parker commented on the KCLS annexation election results and stated that he feels he is representing all of the citizens in making these decisions and by reviewing all of the materials that have come forward.

Items noted included: Traffic along a portion of the Cedar River Trail will be detoured August 8 to 31 due to shoreline flood repairs that will necessitate closure of a 100-yard portion of the trail just south of the non-motorized boat launch near the Boathouse.

Signs will be posted warning the public of the work and trail detour. AUDIENCE COMMENT Phyllis Forister(Renton) read published statistics regarding police activity at the Citizen Comment: Forister- downtown Transit Center. She stated that the statistics do not make her feel Safety at the Transit Center safe, and that having a large police presence there means that other areas of the City are being neglected. She remarked that the City cannot keep the extra police protection at the Transit Center after the new library is constructed because of budget reasons and because it will be detrimental to other parts of the City. She stated that a mandate of government is to protect its citizens. Mayor Law stated that the police presence in the downtown core will be rr.. maintained, and the emphasis that she is witnessing is due to the zero tolerance policy in effect at the Transit Center. He explained that if the police enforced a zero tolerance policy in the Highlands, or at the current library, she would see the same level of statistics. Chief Administrative Officer Covington added that the Police Department has reassigned and realigned existing resources and that the added emphasis is not due to short-term funding. He stated that the Council has so far approved of the added emphasis, and the policy will remain in force as long as the Administration directs it to happen. Mr. Covington stated that he does not anticipate a shift in this policy at any time. Ms. Forister replied that she can only judge by history noting that security was lost in the past. Citizen Comment: Wright- Sarah Wright (Renton) expressed appreciation for the Renton River Days Festivities in Downtown festivities. She stated that she enjoyed the parade and visiting the booths at Renton Liberty Park. She remarked that there was a lot of traffic at the library and hoped the event would not mark a memorial service for the library. She encouraged the City to promote downtown businesses, and suggested closing streets more often for holiday bazaars and special events.

Development Services Director Neil Watts reported that Council received a request to change the name of a small portion of roadway from Edmonds Ave. SE to 116th Ave. SE. He displayed a map and pointed out that the very northern end of 116th Ave.SE is named Edmonds Ave.SE because it had been changed when that area was annexed to the City decades ago. Mr. Watts reported that when the Benson Hill area was annexed in 2008 the City revised the policy of changing street names. He reported that this left the majority of the roadway named 116th Ave. SE (the King County name) and a small portion at the northern end named Edmonds Ave.SE (the City name). He explained that six homes,two churches, and a couple of small businesses will be affected if Council approves changing the name of this portion of the roadway to 116th Ave.SE. He remarked that this small stretch of the road is often confused with Edmonds Ave. NE in the Highlands,and can be frustrating for citizens. Concluding, Mr. Watts reported that letters were sent to affected parties and only two responses were received, one is support and one against the proposed change. He also noted that City departments had no objections. Responding to Councilmember Zwicker's inquiry, Mr.Watts noted that the sole objection to the name change was regarding the difficulty of informing family and friends, billing complications, and obtaining an updated driver's license. He stated that the City would notify public and quasi-public entities if the proposed change becomes effective. Mr. Zwicker requested a copy of the citizen responses. Mr. Watts also noted that correspondence had been received from Pat Archer requesting that the United Christian Church property,which mistakenly was not included in the initial renaming request, be included. Public comment was invited. Delores Woods(Renton)expressed support for the street name change. Remarking that she represents United Christian Church, she shared accounts of the difficulties people have locating their church because the address is often confused with Edmonds Ave. NE. Darwin Chada (Renton)stated that he initiated the request and expressed support for the street name change. He remarked that he represents Living Hope Christian Fellowship and also knows the difficulties people have attempting to find their church. He asked that Council approve and move the proposal forward. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY ZWICKER,SECONDED BY PARKER, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. Mayor Law noted that the issue will be held in the Transportation (Aviation) Committee for further review. September 12, 2011 Renton City Council Minutes Page 275 275 AUDIENCE COMMENT Referring to the earlier Committee of the Whole meeting regarding the Citizen Comment: Simpson- Shoreline Master Program (SMP),Ann Simpson (Renton) stated that the Renton Shoreline Master Program Shoreline Coalition was surprised but not shocked regarding the response letter from the Department of Ecology(DOE) (related to the four-foot wide docks limitation). She stated that it is mind-boggling to the coalition that all of the other recommendations were approved, while this one issue amounts to less than 1/10th of one percent of the shoreline. She also expressed concern regarding the decision to allow only citizens with Department of Licensing issued handicap stickers six-foot wide docks. Ms.Simpson suggested that Council say no to the DOE response and force them to impose the regulation. Citizen Comment: Keever- David Keever(Renton), speaking on behalf of VFW Hall#1263, expressed Community Garden Impact on concern with the proposed South Renton Neighborhood Community Garden VFW Hall Parking Plan because of its impact on parking near the VFW Hall. He stated that 250 people signed a petition,turned in to the City Clerk opposing the garden. He requested that the City find a more suitable place to locate the garden and invited Council and the Mayor to attend an event at the VFW Hall to see the affect that limited parking would have on senior citizens attending the event. Citizen Comment: Forister- Phyllis Forister(Renton) remarked that while searching the internet she found a Relocation of the Downtown King County website promoting healthy communities. She stated that this Library website reported that people need to feel safe in order to go out into their communities, and that childhood obesity may be linked to safety issues because wary children tend to stay inside their homes. She remarked that moving the library to an area of known violence will only cause patrons to avoid the library. Ms. Forister pointed out that the downtown library's current location at Liberty Park is closer to the downtown core than the proposed site next to the downtown Transit Center. She also noted that across the street from the proposed new location is a type of store where alcohol is typically sold to underage persons. Citizen Comment: Baker- Laurie Baker(Renton) expressed appreciation to Council for delaying the vote Shoreline Master Program on the Shoreline Master Program (SMP). She remarked that the Department of Ecology(DOE) states that its four-foot wide dock requirement is based on locally developed science, and not based on nationally recognized science. Ms. Baker questioned why the City of Redmond was allowed six-foot wide docks, and whether that may have been decided before the locally developed science came to light. She also questioned the implication that if other cities were allowed six-foot wide docks,then Renton could pursue them. Citizen Comment: Williams- Traci Williams(Renton), speaking on behalf of VFW Hall#1263, shared her Community Gardens Impact experience volunteering for the Post and expressed concern regarding the on VFW Hall Parking proposed South Renton Community Garden because of its impact on parking. She stated that the VFW's mission is to serve veterans and their families, most of whom are senior citizens, and that making them park three blocks away could affect their safety. She urged Council to reconsider the proposed location of the garden. Councilmember Parker remarked that he was not aware of the proposal and asked for more information. Mayor Law stated that the project is in the r beginning stages and additional information is forthcoming. He noted that the City is sensitive to the parking issue.

Community Event:4th of July Community Relations and Events Coordinator Sonja Mejlaender presented the Wrap-Up event report for the City's 20114th of July celebration at Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park. She remarked that the report will highlight sponsorship, event features, logistics, marketing, survey results, budget, and strategies for future planning. Ms. Mejlaender explained that the event was made possible because of support from the City of Renton and community partners. She stated that Sanctuary and Reserve Apartments sponsored the entertainment stage, and the free KidZone Activities were sponsored by Coal Creek Family and Matt Griffin YMCA. 286September 19, 2011 Renton City Council Minutes Page 286 Ms. Mejlaender reported that this year's events featured special activities for children and families, stage entertainment, and fireworks launched from a barge in Lake Washington. She remarked that the drop-off and pick-up area at the boat launch helped to address the issue of limited parking for seniors, those with special disabilities,and families with children. Continuing, Ms. Mejlaender reported on marketing efforts, opportunities for recognizing event sponsors, and survey results. She emphasized that over-the- street banners continue to be a very effective way to provide event information to residents. She also reported that a significant reduction in event costs occurred between 2007 and 2011 that can be attributed to four main areas: 1) refinement or reduction of staffing levels in the park on event day; 2) more accurate project accounting tracking including the value of employee benefits; 3)sponsor contributions reaching an all time high in 2011; and 4)discontinuing the free shuttle service. Ms. Mejlaender reported that a new title sponsorship will be sought in 2012,as The Landing is unable to continue for a fourth year. Judy Smith of Coal Creek Family YMCA stated that volunteers painted hundreds of children's faces for free in the KidZone Activities area. Stephanie Moss, Sanctuary and Reserve Apartments Property Manager,thanked the City for the opportunity to be an event sponsor. Rod Swift of The Landing thanked the City for the opportunity to be the event's title sponsor for the past three years, and remarked that the success of The Landing is due to Renton's citizens. Mayor Law stated that the City sincerely appreciates the sponsorships because they make a big difference in the community. PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Vacation: NW 4th St,West of accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Law opened the public hearing to Stevens Ave SW, Lanz,VAC- consider a petition for Street Vacation of a portion of right-of-way consisting of 11-001 approximately 499 lineal feet, located along the southern side of NW 4th St., west of Stevens Ave. SW. Associate Planner Rocale Timmons reported that a petition to vacate an approximately 500 lineal-foot portion of right-of-way along NW 4th St.,west of Stevens Ave. NW,was submitted by Mr.Van Lanz. She stated that the petition was received in March 2011, and that State and City code requires that at least two-thirds of abutting property owners sign the petition. She reported that 76%of the abutting property owners have signed the petition. Ms.Timmons explained that it is the petitioner's intent to combine lots in that area to create a four-lot short plat. She explained that public benefit must exist before Council approves the street vacation, and stated that the applicant believes vacating the property will eliminate liabilities for the City because of the steep slopes on the property. She pointed out that the excessively steep slopes preclude any road improvements or placement of utilities in the subject right-of-way. Continuing, Ms.Timmons reported that the petition was circulated to City departments and outside agencies for review, and that no objections were received. She stated, however,that a letter was received from Mr. and Mrs. James Fenner, abutting property owners, expressing opposition to the proposed street vacation due to development and drainage concerns. September 19, 2011 Renton City Council Minutes Page 287 287 Concluding, Ms.Timmons reported that the administration is requesting that this topic be referred to the Planning and Development Committee for further review. She explained that when the formal land use application is received by Now the applicant for the four-lot short plat,the potential impacts of drainage in the area will be reviewed and mitigated,and a recommendation will then be provided to the Committee. Public comment was invited. Jim Fenner(Renton) expressed opposition to the street vacation petition.

Ms. Mejlaender stated that the theme for this year's event was "The Magic Continues," and that the festival, marketed as Ikea Renton River Days, ran from July 22 to 24. Ms. Mejlaender summarized event costs from 2007 to 2011, and reported that the decrease in this year's costs is attributed to more efficient staff scheduling. She also noted that the overall cost to the City varies year-to- year because some events, like the golf tournament,get canceled and then reinstated in future years. Mr. Kavesh summarized festival highlights and new activities like the canned food drive, Puget Sound Energy's Bulb Mobile, Friends of the Library's book sale, and the new booth called "Board Games of the World" where families learn of ancient board games. He noted that the food drive raised 559 pounds of food for the Renton Rotary Salvation Army Food Bank. Mr. Kavesh reported that the annual kick-off event was held at the Tea Palace restaurant in the Highlands, where Norm and Carol Abrahamson were recognized for their decades of volunteer service to Renton River Days. Mr. Kavesh highlighted events including the Wenatchee Youth Circus held at Cedar River Park, Lee's Martial Arts Break-A-Thon fundraiser that raised $15,000 for Communities in Schools of Renton,the art market, quilt exhibit, 400 performing artists, and the 26th Annual Teen Summer Musical, "Bye, Bye, Birdie." September 26 2011 297 p � Renton City Council Minutes Page 297 Mr. Kavesh reported that the Renton Rotary Club raised $22,000 for local charities by selling a record 4,732 rubber ducks for the annual Rubber Ducky Derby. Mr. Kavesh also reported that there were 115 entries, and 2,200 it participants in the River Days parade. He noted that KING 5 television personality and Renton resident Meeghan Black was the parade's Grand Marshal. Concluding, Mr. Kavesh reported that 96%of those surveyed stated that they would attend the event again. He thanked the volunteers, service clubs, youth and faith groups, and City employees who helped make the event a success. He also thanked all of the sponsors and pointed out that Ikea is confirmed to be the title sponsor through 2012. He introduced Amanda Hoff and Deidre Goodchild from Ikea. Ms. Goodchild remarked that Ikea has been committed to the festival for the past 13 years, and appreciates the family-friendliness of the event. Mr. Kavesh announced that the 27th Annual Ikea Renton River Days will run from July 27 to 29,2012. He encouraged everyone to attend the festival. Community Event: Day of Neighborhoods Program Coordinator Norma Mcquiller presented a report on Service Wrap-up the Day of Service event conducted on September 10 in commemoration of September 11, 2001. She reported that through the volunteer service of City residents and employees,service clubs,the Renton Housing Authority, King County Parks,Volunteer Chore Services, Renton Area Youth Services, and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints(LDS) Renton Stake, 30 different projects ranging from identifying storm drains to cleaning up the Cedar River Trail were completed that day. Ms. Mcquiller reported that 759 people +rr volunteered 3,139.5 hours of service, and celebrated by holding a community picnic at the end of the day. She noted that the LDS Church adopted all 30 projects and introduced President Bruce Taggart. Mr.Taggart thanked the City for organizing and overseeing the projects and stated that this was the church's second annual Day of Service event. He remarked that the intention is to include more faith-based organizations next year. PUBLIC MEETING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Executive: Supporting or accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Law opened the public meeting to Opposing Initiative Measure consider supporting or opposing Initiative Measure 1125 concerning state 1125 expenditures on transportation. Assistant Chief Administrative Officer Marty Wine provided an overview of Initiative Measure 1125. She reported that the initiative limits expenditures from the state motor vehicle fund and toll funds for transportation purposes only, and prohibits the State and its agencies from transferring the gas tax for non-highway purposes. She further explained that the initiative leaves existing tolls and toll rates unchanged, but requires the legislature to approve tolls and rate adjustments in the future. It also limits toll revenues to the facility in which the funds are generated, and prohibits variable pricing. Ms.Wine reported that the State Office of Financial Management estimates em that SR 167 in Renton would not be affected, but the 1-405 High-Occupancy Lanes (HOV) slated for Bellevue south would be affected by the limitations of the measure. 298 September 26, 2011 Renton City Council Minutes Page 298 Ms. Wine stated that future fiscal impacts are unclear at this time because they are dependent on the legislature taking action to put tolls in place. She also reported that the State Treasurer cautioned that bonds secured solely for the purpose of toll revenue would be eliminated as a funding source causing local governments to seek alternative funding sources. Ms. Wine reported that there were no "pro" or"con" speakers confirmed in advance to speak at tonight's public meeting. Public comment was invited. Doug MacDonald,former State Secretary of Transportation, stated that he believes it is important for this initiative to fail because it purports to only be about setting rules for tolls, but it does other things including prohibiting light rail across the 1-90 bridge. He remarked that the initiative also purports to protect the current way the State handles gas taxes, however,the State transportation system does more than just spend money on simple highways. He reported that the initiative limits tolls to transportation purposes as outlined in Amendment 18 of the State Constitution which would essentially limit any future transportation planning. Continuing, Mr. MacDonald stated that the worst part of the initiative may not have even been intended by Tim Eyman,the measure's initiator. He explained that tolls are currently set by the State Transportation Commission,an independent and autonomous body, but the initiative calls for future tolls to be set by the State legislature. He stated that this is bad policy because no other state in the country does this, and bondholders will not bring their money to Washington if tolls are set by one legislature and are regulated by another legislature years later when the bonds are due. He remarked that having an independent commission protects bondholder investments by adjusting rates in order to pay back the bonds without subjection to political games. Hearing no objections from Council, Mayor Law extended Mr. MacDonald's time in order to allow conclusion of his comments. Mr. MacDonald concluded by emphasizing that the hope for toll-backed bonds to finance future transportation programs would be eliminated if the measure passes. He remarked that the initiative will only cause delays which in turn will drive-up costs. He stated that a very broad coalition of people opposes this measure and urged Council to do the same. Councilmember Corman stated that it was his understanding that the current proposal for 1-405 tolling is to leave two lanes free and add an additional tolled carpool lane. He remarked that this would allow people the option of purchasing access to the high-occupancy lanes. He emphasized that he did not want people to think that all of 1-405 would be tolled. Mr. MacDonald affirmed Mr. Corman's statement,and added that the plan is to use the express toll lane concept to enhance transit and pay for the expansion of 1-405. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY PARKER,SECONDED BY PERSSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC MEETING. CARRIED. September 26, 2011 Renton City Council Minutes Page 299 299 AUDIENCE COMMENT Referring to the earlier Committee of the Whole meeting regarding the Citizen Comment: Simpson- Shoreline Master Plan (SMP),Ann Simpson (Renton), stated that the Shoreline Master Program Department of Ecology(DOE) had never responded to Renton Shoreline -- Coalition inquiries, nor has the coalition been invited to participate in DOE meetings. She explained how the Whatcom County lawsuit referenced at the meeting is different and not relevant to the situation in Renton. She expressed optimism that City officials and residents could work together to oppose the DOE regulation regarding dock widths. Citizen Comment: DeMund - Also referring to the SMP,Jeanne DeMund (Renton), urged Council to pursue Shoreline Master Program the question of the Department of Ecology's jurisdictional authority over the City. She emphasized that Renton's policy regarding six-foot wide docks has always been to only grant the permit if the permit was also allowed by federal agencies. Ms. DeMund also pointed out that the scope of Renton's SMP only asks for 840 square feet of dock for fewer than ten lots that are yet to be developed. She stated that it is inconceivable to her that this small amount of square footage could demonstrably impact salmonids. Citizen Comment: Forister- Phyllis Forister(Renton) stated that according to the 2008-2013 Library Master Relocation of the Downtown Plan it would only cost$874,000 to remodel the current downtown library Library compared to the$9 million it would take to build the new, smaller library. She also stated that she believes the library could not be more state-of-the-art than it already is. She commented that the City and King County Library System should not be building new libraries during this time of economic crisis. Responding to Councilmember Parker's inquiry, Ms. Forister stated that the $874,000 figure only represents a small remodel and not a total rehabilitation of the building. Citizen Comment: Baker- Laurie Baker(Renton) expressed appreciation for Council's continued Shoreline Master Program discussion regarding the Shoreline Master Program. She questioned whether the Department of Ecology was being vindictive when they suggested that if the City imposes six-foot wide dock regulations they may not only change this to a four-foot wide regulation, but may also change other things within the SMP. She also questioned whether there was any science that would support additional changes to the SMP.

AUDIENCE COMMENT Phyllis Forister(Renton)stated that the figures she quoted at the last Council Citizen Comment: Forister— meeting regarding remodeling costs for City libraries are on page 42 of the Relocation of the Downtown Renton Library Master Plan. She also stated that the master plan Library recommendation to retain an independent library system was ignored. She remarked that citizens were not well-informed about the decision to build a new library in the downtown core, and implied that the vote to annex to the King County Library System would have failed if this fact had been more transparent. Ms. Forister also commented that the money to build the new libraries could be better spent during this time of economic downturn. Citizen Comment: Baker— Laurie Baker(Renton) expressed appreciation for Council's efforts regarding the Shoreline Master Program Shoreline Master Program (SMP). She stated that the whole process has been a learning experience for everyone involved. Ms. Baker remarked that the SMP should not hurt Renton's image as a place where people can enjoy the waterfront, and it should help improve the City's tax base. She cautioned that the SMP will become a disadvantage for the community if it is more restrictive than programs from other jurisdictions residing along a lakeshore. Citizen Comment:Simpson— Anne Simpson (Renton)stated that she is adamantly opposed to the four-foot Shoreline Master Program wide dock restrictions in the Shoreline Master Program. She remarked that Renton's SMP should not be limited to four-foot wide docks, and state and "r federal agencies that require the restriction should have to impose it. She also questioned whether a four-foot wide dock was even ADA compliant, and suggested a five-foot wide dock as a compromise. Ms. Simpson stated that four-foot wide docks are unsafe. CONSENT AGENDA Items listed on the consent agenda are adopted by one motion which follows the listing. Council: Meeting Minutes of Approval of Council meeting minutes of 9/26/2011.

Refer to Transportation (Aviation) Committee. MOVED BY BRIERE, SECONDED BY PARKER, COUNCIL APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA AS PRESENTED. CARRIED. UNFINISHED BUSINESS Council President Briere presented a Committee of the Whole report Committee of the Whole recommending concurrence in the staff recommendation to adopt the CED:Shoreline Master Shoreline Master Program by ordinance. This ordinance is substantially the Program Final Adoption same as Resolution#4067 adopted on 9/27/2010, and thereafter submitted to the Department of Ecology, except for the following changes: • Inclusion of all of the recommended and required changed received from the Department of Ecology in a letter dated 3/9/2011, with the exception of required change 1 (Overwater Trails) and; • Inclusion of new language on overwater trails proposed by the City in correspondence to the Department of Ecology in a letter dated 4/6/2011, and agreed to by Ecology in their response dated 7/28/2011, and; • Addition of language to allow buffer averaging in Lake Washington Reach C if consistent with a federally approved clean-up plan. The Committee further recommended that the ordinance regarding this matter be presented for first reading at the next Council meeting. MOVED BY BRIERE, SECONDED BY PARKER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT.* Councilmember Corman stated for the record that he is unhappy with the Shoreline Master Program as written and with some elements of the process. He explained that because the Department of Ecology has had a say in the process, citizens have not had the opportunity to influence lawmaking as if it were solely a Renton ordinance. Mr. Corman also stated that the State should have been more accountable, including holding public hearings, in order to explain the science behind the decision to limit docks to four-foot widths. He stated that the shortcomings are mostly due to the way the State influenced the City's lawmaking processes. Councilmember Taylor echoed Mr. Corman's sentiments, and also questioned the science regarding the dock restrictions. He noted that the City of Redmond has been allowed six-foot wide docks. Mr.Taylor also remarked that the new information regarding ADA compliancy and five-foot dock widths should be explored. He explained that in conscience and principle, and from a safety standpoint, he could not vote for four-foot wide docks. October 3, 2011 Renton City Council Minutes Page 309 309 Councilmember Parker stated that he does not disagree with many of the points brought up by Mr. Corman and Mr.Taylor. However, he read a portion of a letter from the Department of Ecology explaining policy goals and scientific +rw recommendations regarding Shoreline Master Programs, and remarked that the SMP works for a lot of different people. He stated that the process needs to come to a conclusion, and he supports the SMP. Councilmember Palmer stated that the process has been very disappointing, and to come this far(and still be restricted by DOE)feels like a slap in the face. She commented that the public process for the SMP did not seem to work, and Renton has compromised much. *ROLL CALL was called: FOUR AYES: BRIERE,ZWICKER, PERSSON, PARKER.

November 7, 2011 Renton City Council Minutes Page 339 339 Finance and Information Technology Administrator Iwen Wang stated that tonight's hearing will be a report on 2012 revenue projections and to set the 2012 property tax levy. She noted that proposed State-level budget reductions are not reflected in the mid-biennial amendment at this time. Ms. Wang reported that overall 2011 revenues are on or close to budget, but 2012 revenues will need to be adjusted. She explained that the adjustment is mainly due to sales tax projections being lowered from 5.5%to 1.7%which is more in-line with current economic conditions.She added that other areas of revenue also being reduced because of the current economic situation include development services fees, real estate excise tax, and reserve fund interest earnings. Ms. Wang reported that utility taxes are above budget by 1.5%,and $1.1 million in liquor excise tax was received but not budgeted because of the uncertainty of last years liquor initiative, 1-1100. She added that the current liquor initiative, 1-1183,should not negatively impact the City's budget, but cautioned that the State budget could impact this revenue source. Ms. Wang also stated that fuel and criminal justice tax distributions were higher than anticipated, and employee medical premiums were lower than anticipated. She reported that the net General Fund change is negative$206,000, or approximately 0.2%of the 2012 appropriation. Concluding, Ms.Wang reported that the recommendation for the 2012 Property Tax Levy is to adopt the legally permissible 1%increase,and approximately$232,000 from the banked capacity that was not taken in 2010. She estimated that this equates to five dollars per home in Renton. She also .. reported that this amendment includes housekeeping adjustments to account for grants and other external funding sources,and to make budget adjustments for capital projects to match timelines. Ms. Wang stated that the recommendation is for Council to hear public testimony, make final adjustments if necessary, and present the ordinances for first reading at the 11/14/2011 Council meeting.

Chief Administrative Officer Covington remarked that the item will be amended and presented at the next Council meeting for concurrence. Separate Consideration Item Community and Economic Development Department recommended adoption 6_f. of a resolution delaying the West Hill Annexation election until 11/6/2012 in Annexation: West Hill, order to study possible legislative impacts regarding the Governor's proposal to Election Delayed to 11/6/2012 eliminate the sales tax credit program for future annexations. Council concur. MOVED BY ZWICKER,SECONDED BY PARKER, COUNCIL ADOPT CONSENT AGENDA ITEM 6.f.AS PRESENTED.* December 5, 2011 Renton City Council Minutes Page 371 Councilmember Zwicker remarked that the Governor's new proposed budget change, and the related legislative uncertainty, has added a new wrinkle to the discussion about West Hill. He stated that West Hill has to vote to come in to the City before the discussion can be continued, however, he agrees with the administration's concerns regarding the legislative uncertainty. Councilmember Corman remarked that he is aware that the issue is about whether or not the City will receive a sales tax credit, but expressed concerns regarding the time-frame for the election. Mayor Law stated that the City is still within the proper time-frame. Councilmember Taylor questioned whether or not the City would still proceed with the vote if it becomes clear at the end of the legislative session that the sales tax credit would be lost or reduced. Mayor Law remarked that in that case, the administration would prepare another cost analysis for Council to help in their decision making process. He stated that ultimately it would be up to Council whether or not to allow the vote. Councilmember Taylor remarked that he had received this information late last week and that residents of West Hill are likely prepared to vote on the issue in February. He remarked that he is not ready to postpone the vote because if the City learns that funding is not going to be available there will still be an effort to pursue alternate sources of funding. Mr.Taylor explained that having the vote in February can work in the City's favor because if it is negative the City can focus on retaining the sales tax credit for the Benson Hill area, and not waste resources pursuing alternate funding sources. He noted that he understands the fiscal uncertainties, but is hesitant to postpone the vote without an assurance that the opportunity to vote will be given again to West Hill residents. Chief Administrative Officer Covington remarked that the administration has also wrestled with the issue brought up by Mr.Taylor. He explained that the Governors proposal to pull the sales tax credit for future annexations is a significant change, and creates enough additional uncertainty that it might impact the way some people consider the election. He further explained that postponing the election allows the City to evaluate the legislative impacts that will determine how the services will be provided in the area. Councilmember Taylor expressed concern that there was not more time to vet this issue. He stated that he is still of the mind that allowing a vote in February has merit, and would provide direction to the City regarding pursuing additional funding for West Hill. He also remarked that he believes it would be beneficial for legislators to know the intent of residents of the area. Mr.Taylor reiterated that he would like assurance that West Hill residents will be given an opportunity to vote on the issue. Councilmember Parker remarked that he is a proponent of having West Hill become part of Renton, however, as a representative for Renton citizens he must make decisions that will not jeopardize the current services being provided to Renton residents. He stated that he could not possibly move this issue forward with the looming uncertainties regarding funding. Mr. Parker remarked that he wants to make sure that the residents of West Hill December 5, 2011 Renton City Council Minutes Page 372 understand what services they'll receive, and Renton residents understand what services will be maintained. He explained that the City cannot provide this information in time for a February vote, and therefore supports moving the date to November 2012. Councilmember Persson added that there is no guarantee that the decision regarding the sales tax credit will be completed by the legislature by February. He explained that if that happens, Council will be faced with having to decide whether or not to accept the annexation without knowing if it will be financially feasible. In that scenario, he will encourage Council to not accept the annexation. *MOTION TO APPROVE CONSENT AGENDA ITEM 6.f. AS PRESENTED CARRIED. (See page 373 for resolution.)

Councilmember Parker added that the business has to prove that the cars are there for repair purposes, and parking is limited to 72 hours unless on-going repairs to a vehicle are being conducted. Mayor Law restated Ms. Briere's question regarding whether or not the new legislation addresses the number of vehicles allowed to park on a site. Mr. Parker confirmed that the proposed ordinance does not restrict how many vehicles can be parked at an auto repair business. *MOTION CARRIED. (See page 374 for ordinances.)

It has since been modified to read as follows: D-69: Auto Repair- Regulate auto repair businesses to distinguish them from wrecking yards and vehicle storage. Require screening, fencing, landscaping, and compliance with lot coverage standards for auto repair businesses, including auto body shops. D-73: Site Plan Review-The Site Development Plan Review criteria overlapped with other regulations and review processes and needed to be simplified to remove duplicative and superfluous language. Code language also clarifies vesting provisions for approved but not-yet built projects, and provides discretion for determining when a public hearing is needed. The revisions compliment other processes and codes and result in a more appropriate level of project review. D-74: Plat Revisions-This code work clarifies the difference between major and minor revisions to an approved preliminary plat, and the process to amend the plat after preliminary approval and prior to recording. D-75: Shopping Carts-The Shopping Cart Regulations (adopted in 2005) are being revisited to remove references to filing fees for Shopping Cart Containment and Recovery Plans, and to remove the specific appeal fee. These fees are now contained in the City's Fee Schedule, rather than City Code. D-79: Conditional Use Permit Regulations-The conditional use permit regulations have created overlap with site plan review regulations, and have been amended over time in order to address uses such as wireless facilities, kennels, crisis diversion facilities, and live/work units. Some of the review criteria are redundant and not applicable to uses being reviewed. These revisions to the conditional use permit section remove superfluous language, simplify and combine review and decision criteria, and allow for some minor revisions to approved conditional use permits. The Committee further recommended that the ordinances regarding these matters be presented for first reading and advanced for second and final reading.

He remarked that the Renton Heart Month program won a top award in 2009 and is praised by State and local Emergency Medical Services leaders. Chief Peterson stated that one of the goals for this year's program is to make a concerted effort, in partnership with Valley Medical Center, to reach out to Renton's multi-cultural communities. Mayor Law stated that Renton Heart Month is an outstanding program that has provided services to hundreds of citizens and has literally saved lives. SPECIAL PRESENTATION Speaking as a board member for Valley Cities Counseling, Finance and Forensic Mental Health Peer Information Technology Administrator Iwen Wang stated that this organization Support Program,Valley Cities has been dedicated to building healthy communities for nearly 50 years. She Counseling&South reported that Valley Cities Counseling currently serves over 6,000 clients in Correctional Entity (SCORE) Auburn, Kent, Renton, and Federal Way, and in an effort to increase access to the Renton population will be moving their current offices to the 200 Mill Building. She noted that another office will be co-located with the Renton Housing Authority to serve residents in the Highlands. Ms. Wang introduced Ken Taylor, Chief Executive Officer for Valley Cities Counseling. 16 January 23, 2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 16 Mr.Taylor reported that Valley Cities Counseling has been selected to provide counseling services for offenders with serious mental illnesses who are leaving the South Correctional Entity (SCORE)facility. He announced that the organization applied for and received a $1.1 million grant from the Bristol- Meyers Squibb Foundation to help fund this service. Mr.Taylor explained that the grant funds will enable Valley Cities Counseling to implement a program to work with offenders at the SCORE facility while they are incarcerated and for a few months after release. He stated that the program's goal is to reduce the likelihood of people committing another crime after they reenter the community. He added that there are more people with mental illness in jail than in psychiatric hospitals, and if this new program is successful it can be replicated across the country. SCORE Director Penny Bartley stated that this program was only one of two grant requests from hundreds submitted across the nation selected by the Bristol-Myers Squibb Foundation. She added that SCORE is excited to be able to provide these services to the inmate population. Councilmember Persson praised the program and remarked that as a retired law enforcement officer he has always believed that treating mental illness would significantly cut jail populations. In response to Councilmember Corman's inquiry, Mr.Taylor stated that the hope is for King County to fund the program in the future because it will demonstrably reduce costs by lowering the instances of people re-committing misdemeanant crimes after they have re-entered their communities.

Ms. Mathias stated that public services are currently provided by Eastside Fire, Water District#90, Renton sewer service, and the Issaquah School District. Reviewing the site's zoning, Ms. Mathias stated that existing King County zoning is R-4 (four dwelling units per gross acre). She stated that the City's Comprehensive Plan designates the site as Residential Low Density and that the area was pre-zoned as R-5 (five dwelling units per net acre), however, R-5 is no longer a valid zone so the area will have to be re-zoned in the future. Regarding the fiscal impact analysis, Ms. Mathias reported that currently there +II would be$5,034 in revenues and $3,843 in costs annually to the City's Operating Fund, which would change to $16,881 in revenues and $14,107 in costs if the projected additional eight dwelling units are built over the next ten years. 17 January 23, 2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 17 Additionally, Ms. Mathias reported that there would be$1,137 in revenues and $478 in costs to the City's Capital and Enterprise Funds, which would change to $11,776 in revenues and $6,310 in costs if the projected build-out occurs over the ten-year period.

She added that there were six storm-related fires that caused approximately$210,000 in private damages. Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington stated that Puget Sound Energy(PSE) currently estimates that 1,500 Renton residents are still without power. He remarked that there are four crews dedicated to Renton and PSE expects the power to be back on no later than Wednesday,January 25.

Public Works Administrator Gregg Zimmerman reported that two de-icer trucks mn sprayed anti-icer in advance of the storm in order to prevent freezing water from bonding to City streets. He stated that Public Works crews began working 12-hour shifts deploying seven sander-plows over snow routes as soon as the storm began. 18 January 23, 2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 18 Mr. Zimmerman reported that another challenge for the City was inoperable traffic signals. He stated that most of the signals only have a five to six hour battery back-up, and added that all 120 signals are back in operation. Regarding garbage pick-up, Mr. Zimmerman suggested that residents check the Waste Management website because pick-up plans change often due to weather and other conditions. He noted that there is no limit to the amount of yard waste residents can put out to be collected, however,the woody debris must be cut into lengths of four feet, branches must be under four inches in diameter, and bundles can be no more than three and half feet across. Responding to Council inquiries, Mr. Zimmerman stated that the woody debris piles must be tied in bundles with biodegradable twine.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Regarding the appeal-to-Council process, City Attorney Larry Warren stated Council: Appeal Process that anytime Council acts as a quasi-judicial body, the information to be considered is limited to the existing record, including the Hearing Examiner's report,the notice of the appeal, and additional submissions by parties regarding the appeal only. He remarked that the process is regulated by Renton Municipal Code (RMC)4-8-1101. He pointed out that this is contrary to the usual position of Councilmembers who would normally accept information and comment from constituents at any time. Mr. Warren explained that an appeal of a Hearing Examiner's Decision or Recommendation gets referred to the Planning and Development Committee, or, on rare occasions to the Committee of the Whole for review. He remarked that no new testimony or evidence is allowed, and Councilmembers may not discuss the matter outside of the meeting in which the appeal is being reviewed. Mr. Warren stated that new information provided to Council must be disclosed to the opposing side for rebuttal or objection of the new evidence. He added that Committee recommendations for appeals are placed on the agenda prior to the audience comment section so that new testimony is not provided in the guise of citizen comment. Mr. Warren further explained that in order for Council to overturn a decision or recommendation by the Hearing Examiner, a substantial error of fact or law must be found, and the finding supporting the conclusion must be included in the Committee report. Additionally, he cautioned Council from using statements that may give the appearance that the decision was in any way pre- judged. He remarked that Council must not only be fair, but must also use a judicial demeanor to appear fair at all times. February 6, 2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 29 Concluding, Mr. Warren stated that if any member of Council believes there may be a conflict of interest,they must recuse themselves from the topic and leave the chambers during the discussion. For example, he remarked that owning Boeing stock would not necessarily cause a conflict of interest, but owning property where adjacent land values could significantly increase or decrease should be disclosed. It was clarified that these restrictions apply to every Councilmember not just the committee. Mr. Warren stated that the topic regarding whether or not Council can defer appeals to Superior Court was a separate issue that is still scheduled for an upcoming Committee of the Whole meeting. AUDIENCE COMMENT Beatrice Clark(Renton) stated that she had previously spoken to Council Citizen Comment: Clark- King regarding racism, racial profiling, and corruption at the King County Library County Library System Racism System (KCLS). She noted that at that time she did not have all of her paperwork together and would now like to submit it to Council. She also remarked that the Renton Reporter was censoring her through their refusal to publish her letters to the editor. Discussion ensued regarding the roles and responsibilities of the City's Library Advisory Board. Councilmember Taylor requested that Ms.Clark be provided with resource information to assist with her situation regarding KCLS and the Renton Reporter. City Attorney Warren remarked that the City has no control over what the newspaper decides to publish or not publish in its paper. Citizen Comment: Sweezer- Linda Sweezer(Kent) expressed support for the previous speaker. She stated King County Library System that she has also experienced racism in the past. She thanked Council for the Racism opportunity to express her frustrations,and remarked that it is unfortunate to not feel accepted as part of the community.

PUBLIC HEARING Emergency Management Coordinator Mindi Mattson stated that the Renton Fire: Renton Disaster Recovery Disaster Recovery Plan was instigated because of the potential flooding threat Plan of the Green River, but emphasized that the plan covers all types of hazards. She reported that the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) facilitated a series of workshops that covered issues such as damage assessment and debris management, and that contractors were utilized to help develop the recovery plan. Ms. Mattson reported that after a disaster the City will enter a response phase where the primary focus will be on life safety and property issues. She remarked that when a situation stabilizes, the City will enter a short-term recovery phase and then move to a long-term recovery phase. She explained that one part of the long-term recovery phase may be to find permanent housing for residents who might still be living in temporary shelters. Ms. Mattson remarked that when the City transitions operations from the response to the recovery phase the coordination role will be transferred to the Recovery Management Team. She explained that this team is also called the Advisory Group and consists of the Mayor's staff. She remarked that the Mayor may appoint additional community leaders and stakeholders to the Advisory Group as necessary in order to enhance recovery operations. She commented that role of City Council is to establish policy and approve necessary expenditures and contracts. Concluding, Ms. Mattson stated that the dissemination of information is vital to the success of the plan. She stated that during an event Council and the administration will be provided weekly status reports and the public will be engaged in every way possible. She added that the plan, if approved by Council,will be forwarded to FEMA for their approval.

PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in CED: School Impact Fees accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Law opened the public hearing to consider the collection of impact fees for the Issaquah, Kent and Renton School Districts. Community and Economic Development Administrator Alex Pietsch introduced Associate Planner Rocale Timmons. Ms.Timmons stated that the school impact fees are only assessed on new development being constructed within the City of Renton. She explained that the money collected can be used for school district Capital Facilities only and not for ongoing operations or maintenance. Ms.Timmons remarked that these fees are used to help offset the impact of growth on new school facilities, and that they are based on an assessment in each district's Capital Facilities Plan. Ms.Timmons reported that the Issaquah School District is requesting an impact fee of$3,568 per new single-family home to be collected as part of their Capital Facilities Plan to expand an elementary and middle school. She noted that the fee is a decrease of$240 from last year. Ms.Timmons further reported that the Kent School District is requesting to collect an impact of$5,486 per new single-family home and $3,378 per new multi-family unit. She noted that these fees would be a continuation of the fee from last year. 58 March 5, 2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 58 Regarding the Renton School District, Ms.Timmons stated that an impact fee is being requested of$6,392 per new single-family home, an increase of$82 from last year. She stated that the school district is also requesting a $1,274 fee per new multi-family unit, an increase of$16 from last year. Concluding, Ms.Timmons stated that no action by Council is requested at this time and the requests have been referred to the Committee of the Whole for review. Public comment was invited. John Knutson(Renton), Assistant Superintendent for Business and Operations for the Renton School District, presented statistics in responding to questions about impact fee collection. Mr. Knutson indicated that Renton and unincorporated King County are the only two jurisdictions that are currently set up for impact fees for the Renton School District. He stated that the school district is working closely with the City of Bellevue, Newcastle, Tukwila, Kent, SeaTac, and Seattle to determine if requests should be made to collect fees from these cities. Steve Crawford (Issaquah), Director of Capital Projects for the Issaquah School District, expressed appreciation to the City for considering the school impact fees. He remarked that the collected fees represent a significant portion of the Issaquah School District's Capital Funding Program and are extremely important to their constituency who feels that new construction should pay a fair share of the cost of the school's facilities. He explained that the impact fees are based on the formula developed by the King County,which has been decreased this year. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY ZWICKER, SECONDED BY PRINCE, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED.

Planning & Development Committee report re: Horne Rezone and Appeal INABILITY OF THE CITY COUNCIL TO TAKE TESTIMONY ON APPEALS DURING THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING State law requires that the City establish a process to handle appeals from application of environmental and developmental rules and regulations.The Renton City Council,feeling it was best for the elected representatives to handle the appeals rather than require citizens to go to court,has retained appellate jurisdiction to itself. The courts have held that the City Council,while sitting as an appellate body,is acting as a quasi-judicial body and must obey rules of procedure of a court more than that of a political body. By City Code,and by State law,the City Council may not consider new evidence in this appeal.The parties to the appeal have had an opportunity to address their arguments to the Planning & Development Committee of the City Council at a meeting previously held. Because of the court requirements prohibiting the City Council from considering new evidence, and because all parties have had an opportunity to address their concerns to the Planning & Development Committee, the City Council may not consider oral or written testimony at the City Council meeting.The Council understands that this is frustrating to citizens and is outside the normal process of open discourse provided to citizenry during the audience comment portion of the City Council meeting. However,this burden of not allowing the Council to be addressed concerning pending appeals is outweighed by the quick,easy,inexpensive and local appeal process provided by the Renton City Council. 6.

She thanked Council forjoining the Governor and other officials in recognizing the work Girl Scouts do for the community. MOVED BY BRIERE,SECONDED BY PRINCE, COUNCIL SUSPEND THE RULES AND ADVANCE TO ITEM 5., APPEAL, ON THE:AGENDA. CARRIED. APPEAL Planning and Development Committee Chair Prince presented a report Appeal: Horne Rezone, regarding the Horne Rezone appeal. The Committee recommended that the Stonegate Homeowners' Renton City Council reverse the decision of the Hearing Examiner and deny the Association, LUA-11-023 Applicant/Respondent's request to re-zone the subject properties R-1 (one dwelling unit per net acre)to R-4(four dwelling units per net acre). The Committee found a substantial error in law or fact in the Hearing Examiner's report. The Committee further recommended that the City Council adopt the following amendment to the Hearing Examiner's Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and Recommendation: 67 March 12, 2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 67 • Conclusion 15 should be amended to read: "City Staff contend that the area should not be re-zoned to four dwelling units per net acre because this increased development density would conflict with the recommendations of the May Creek Basin Action Plan. The Applicant noted that there are no critical areas on the subject site. However,the R-1 zoning designation is based on the area and whether there are sensitive areas in the area, not only on an individual or subject property. Furthermore, City policy does not require that the site/lot contain "critical"areas, only that there is a critical area in the vicinity of the site/lot." • All other conclusions should be deleted. • The Decision should be amended to recommend denial of the Applicant's re-zone request. MOVED BY PRINCE, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Annexation: Windstone V, accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Pro Tem Zwicker opened the North of Sunset Blvd N & East public hearing to consider the 60% Notice of Intent to Commence Annexation of Jericho Ave NE Proceedings petition and zoning for the proposed Windstone V Annexation; 4.3 acres located south of NE 16th St., if extended, west but not abutting 148th Ave. SE, north of NE Sunset Blvd., and east of Jericho Ave. NE, if extended. Community and Economic Development Administrator Alex Pietsch introduced Associate Planner Angie Mathias. Ms. Mathias reported that the annexation site is within the City's potential annexation area and contains single-family lots and vacant land. She remarked that there are no regulated slopes, and there is a Class IV waterway along a significant portion of the eastern boundary. Ms. Mathias stated that public services are currently provided by Eastside Fire, Water District#90, Renton sewer service, and the Issaquah School District. Reviewing the site's zoning, Ms. Mathias stated that existing King County zoning is R-4(four dwelling units per gross acre). She stated that the City's Comprehensive Plan designates the site as Residential Low Density and that the area was pre-zoned as R-5 (five dwelling units per net acre). However, R-5 is no longer a valid zone so new zoning will have to be adopted as part of the annexation process. Regarding the fiscal impact analysis, Ms. Mathias reported that currently there would be$5,034 in revenues and $3,843 in costs annually to the City's Operating Fund, which would change to$16,881 in revenues and $14,107 in costs if the projected additional eight dwelling units are built over the next ten years. Additionally, Ms. Mathias reported that there would be$1,137 in revenues and $478 in costs to the City's Capital and Enterprise Funds, which would change to$11,776 in revenues and $6,310 in costs if the projected build- out occurs over the ten-year period. Concluding, Ms. Mathias stated that the proposed annexation is generally consistent with City annexation policies and Boundary Review Board objectives, and the City's best interests and general welfare would be served by this annexation. 68 March 12, 2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 68 Public comment was invited. Steven Beck(Renton) expressed support for the Windstone V annexation area coming into the City with an R-4(four dwelling units per net acre) zoning designation. He explained that the area can only be zoned R-1 (one dwelling unit per net acre) or R-4, and the R-1 zone is reserved for areas containing pervasive critical or sensitive areas. Mr. Beck stated that there is an argument that because the Windstone site is within the greater May Creek Basin area, and this basin contains pervasive critical areas,then the Windstone site should be denied an R-4 zoning designation. Fie refuted this argument by explaining that much of the greater May Creek area is zoned at a higher density than R-4, and the small stream known as Greenes Creek is barely within the annexation area. i Continuing, Mr. Beck explained that the definition of pervasive is to become spread throughout all parts thereof and pointed out that critical areas are clearly not spread throughout all parts of the May Creek Basin. He reiterated his opinion that the area deserves an R-4 zoning designation because there are no pervasive critical areas at this site. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY BRIERE, SECONDED BY PRINCE, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. MOVED BY BRIERE, SECONDED BY PRINCE, COUNCIL ACCEPTTHE 60% DIRECT PETITION FOR THE WINDSTONE V ANNEXATION, AND AUTHORIZE FORWARDING THE NOTICE OF INTENT PACKAGE TO THE BOUNDARY REVIEW BOARD. CARRIED. AUDIENCE COMMENT Kimberly Danke and her daughter, Irissa, (Renton) expressed support for the Citizen Comment: Danke- renewal of Cascade Canoe & Kayak Club's lease of the Boathouse on Lake Cascade Canoe & Kayak Club Washington. Irissa Danka spoke of the impact the club has had in teaching her life-skills, including responsibility, patience, strength, and self-esteem. Ms. Danke shared her experiences growing up in Renton,and the impact the club has had on her family. She also noted that the club is a more affordable activity than gymnastics and dance classes.

SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS Fire and Emergency Services Administrator Mark Peterson introduced Fire: Renton Heart Month Lieutenant Charles De Smith who spearheaded this year's Renton Heart Month Wrap-Up Report campaign. Lt. De Smith stated that Renton's Heart Month campaign is an award-winning event, and is one of the largest medical prevention campaigns in the region. He added that King County, relies on this data to assist with their medical prevention research. Lt. De Smith reported that this year's campaign goal was to reach out to the City's diverse population. He explained that fire department crews reached out to the community by providing blood pressure and blood sugar screenings at St. Anthony's Spanish-speaking church services, the DK Market, the Ukrainian Church of Grace, and the Sikh Temple. He praised the partnership with UW Medicine/Valley Medical Center, noting that Spanish and Punjabi speaking nurses and doctors helped to overcome language barriers. Concluding, Lt. De Smith reported that nearly 11,000 people were screened in 2012,which was a 35% increase from 2011. He stated that there were 1,500 high blood pressure and 450 high blood sugar alerts issued. He emphasized that Renton's Heart Month program is unique because no other agency provides this high number of screenings. He introduced Captain Doug McDonald. Cpt. McDonald thanked Lt. De Smith for his hard work, and also thanked the program's sponsors, including UW Medicine/Valley Medical Center, Kind Health Bars, and Starbucks. He stated that the 2013 campaign will focus on the students in the Renton School District. Cpt.

March 19, 2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 75 75 Ms. Shridhar explained that the communications strategy for the 2012 Heart Month campaign was to reach out to the City's diverse population.

Councilmember Taylor remarked that he was impressed with the City's efforts in reaching out to its communities of color. CED: King County Library Community and Economic Development Department Administrator Alex System (KCLS) Highlands Pietsch introduced King County Library System staff members Kay Johnson and Library Design Update Bill Ptacek, and Highlands Library design consultant Laura Klinger. Ms. Klinger reported that the design goals for the project are to ensure high visibility, provide for easy accessibility for the public, and to create a warm and welcoming environment. She added that the Highlands library building will have a sense spaciousness that optimizes natural light, and utilizes sustainable strategies to create lasting value. She remarked that the design has to be flexible for the future and any changes that might bring. Ms. Klinger stated that the library will be integrated within a new apartment building located on the corner of NE 10th St. and Sunset Blvd. NE. She added that this multi-use building will include two levels of underground parking, some of which will be dedicated to the library. She displayed photographs, and described the location of different rooms inside the building. She pointed out that the new library will be approximately 10,000 square feet larger than the current Highlands Library. Ms. Klinger reported that the building's design cues were inspired by things within the Renton community, including aircraft design, aircraft hangar design, and colors from natural materials. Concluding, Ms. Klinger announced that the library's design will be completed in November 2012, housing construction begins in April 2013, library construction begins in October 2013, and the project is scheduled to be completed in the fall of 2014. Responding to Council inquiries, Ms. Klinger explained that the quiet area was placed near the children's area on the noisier Sunset Blvd. side of the library, and the teen area was placed on the quieter park side of the library because teens generally do not want to be located near the children's area. She added that the overall location of rooms and spaces inside the library are not defined and may change in the future. Ms. Klinger also noted that the library design team has been coordinating with the apartment building's design team on mostly technical matters and will begin discussing aesthetics in the near term. King County Library System Director Bill Ptacek stated that the location of the new library will only add to the landmark amount of business the current Highlands Library undertakes. He also reported that KCLS is the busiest library in the country for e-books downloaded, and noted that this is a.sign of the changing times for libraries. 76 March 19, 2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 76 PUBLIC MEETINGS This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Executive: Supporting or accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Law opened the public meeting to Opposing the Issaquah School consider taking a position supporting or opposing the Issaquah School District District April 2012 Bond April 2012 construction and maintenance bond measure. -- Measure Issaquah School District Chief Financial and Operating Officer Jake Kuper reported that there is a $219.2 million bond measure scheduled for the 4/17/2012 special election. He stated that$44.5 million of the bond is slated for south end schools, including Liberty High School improvements, Maywood Middle School improvements, and a classroom addition for Apollo Elementary School. He added that the largest portion of the proposed levy is for rebuilding three of the district's oldest schools. Mr. Kuper remarked that the Issaquah School District and the City of Renton have an interesting relationship because Renton residents attend Issaquah schools, but the schools are not located in Renton city limits. Speakers were invited to present pro and con positions on the topic. No one spoke in opposition to the measure. The following individuals spoke in favor the bond issue: Marc Messina stated that he is a Renton resident with three children attending Issaquah schools. He remarked that he also participated in budget meetings regarding the bond measure and believes the bond package is responsible. He also remarked that he is pleased that a large portion of the bond funds are slated to protect south end facilities. He urged Council to support the measure. Debra Rogers stated that she is the parent of two students who graduated from Liberty High School and is still involved with the PTSA. She remarked that she believes the bond measure will help build strong schools which in turn build strong communities. She urged Council to endorse the bond measure. There being no public comment, it was MOVED BY ZWICKER,SECONDED BY PRINCE, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC MEETING. CARRIED. Executive: Supporting or This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Opposing the Renton School accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Law opened the public meeting to District April 2012 Bond consider taking a position supporting or opposing the Renton School District Measure April 2012 building improvement bond measure. Renton School District Superintendent Dr. Mary Alice Heuschel stated that the need for this bond is essential for the district for future planning. She stated that the school district serves not only the City of Renton, but six other municipalities. She added that voters overwhelmingly supported levies for maintenance and technology improvements in February. Speakers were invited to present pro and con positions on the topic. No one spoke in opposition to the measure. The following individual spoke in favor of the bond issue: Citizens for Renton Schools Chairperson John Galuzzo reported that a $97 million bond measure narrowly missed the 60%voter approval needed to pass in February this year. He explained that parents and other citizens went back to the school board and requested that:the bond measure be placed before voters again in April because it is essential to accommodate growth, and had been rejected by as few as 335 votes. March 19,2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 77 77 Mr. Galuzzo stated that the April 2012 bond measure is the same measure presented to voters in February and has two basic components. He remarked that the first component is to build a new middle school. He explained that the state median for middle school size is 609 children,and currently Renton's three middle schools rank as follows: 1) McKnight ranks third in state at 1,150 children, 2) Nelson ranks ninth in state at 1,050, and 3) Dimmit ranks 24th in state with 890 children. Mr. Galuzzo pointed out that adding a new middle school will lower the number of children in middle schools to an average of approximately 891. He stated that the second component of the bond will provide much needed improvements and updates to other schools throughout the district. Mr. Galuzzo urged Council to endorse the bond measure. Responding to Councilmember Briere's inquiry, Dr. Heuschel emphasized that the location of the new middle school is a school board decision that has not been made at this time. She noted, however, that the current proposed location of the old Hazelwood Elementary School property is a logical choice because it is the largest property already owned by the school district. Responding to Council inquiries, Dr. Heuschel stated that the line item for land acquisition on the school district's brochure regarding the potential new middle school is there just in case an opportunity for land acquisition becomes available. She emphasized that no properties are targeted at this time. She also pointed out that the levy addresses some maintenance issues at the Lindbergh Pool. She noted that the pool has operating funds but no funds for long-term maintenance. There being no public comment, it was MOVED BY ZWICKER,SECONDED BY PRINCE, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC MEETING.

She commented that revitalization is successful when driven by business owners and private investors, not City staff. Ms.Stevens remarked that contracts with KCLS can be amended,and administrative memorandums regarding costs estimates are vague. She urged Council to either adopt the initiative petition ordinance or place it on the ballot with mutually accepted language. Citizen Comment:Avery- Stuart Avery(Renton)shared his experiences volunteering in the community for Initiative Petition Regarding the past 17 years,and remarked that he is one of the registered voters who the Downtown Library signed and gathered signatures for the initiative petition. Mr.Avery commented that many people within the community feel misled about the relocation of the downtown library,and asked Council to honor the intent of the initiative by allowing constituents the opportunity to vote on where the new library will be built. He added that if the petition is ignored,the City will be setting the stage for a possible lawsuit. He asked that Council's oaths of office guide their actions. Citizen Comment: Smith- Shelby Smith (Renton)stated that she signed the petition regarding the Initiative Petition Regarding downtown library,and feels that City residents have obtained the right to a the Downtown Library City-wide vote on this issue.

He added that the RCW does not say the petition must meet the City Attorney's legal approval, and if Council decides not to act on the initiative,the people's only option is to proceed to Superior Court. He noted that while the City has a $1.7 million budget for its attorney's office, many residents do not have the financial means to fight a legal battle. He urged Council to send the issue to a vote of the people. Citizen Comment: Keyes- David Keyes(Renton) stated that he believes the library should remain where it Initiative Petition Regarding is over the river and that Council must take action on the initiative petition the Downtown Library regarding the downtown library. He shared his experience working as an architect,and objected to cost estimates referrenced by the City's administration. He explained that the estimates for remodeling the current library building contain vague language that is baseless without more pertinent information. Mr. Keyes also remarked that regardless of what the petition states,the process is framed by State law that places requirements on the petitioners and on the legislative body. Noting that he is not an attorney, he stated that he feels Council must either adopt the initiative petition ordinance or allow it to go to a public vote. Citizen Comment:Tabak- Judy Tabak (Renton) stated that she is one of the registered voters who signed Initiative Petition Regarding the initiative petition and helped to gather signatures. She asked Council to the Downtown Library look at the issue from a child's point of view for the sake of the children who are drawn to the current library. She summarized comments from adults who had once been under her care as children who advocated for keeping the library, a symbol of the community, at its current location. She asked Council to listen to the children's voices. lir Citizen Comment: Glain - Mike Glain (King County) stated that the downtown library is clearly unique, Initiative Petition Regarding and he has been a patron of the Renton library for over 30 years. He urged the Downtown Library Council to allow the citizens to make the decision on what to do with their icon. Citizen Comment: Ossenkop- Kathy Ossenkop(Renton) stated that she is one of the voters who signed the Initiative Petition Regarding initiative petition. She shared her experience gathering signatures,which the Downtown Library included speaking to immigrants who could not sign the petition but expressed support for the issue. She stated that she believes there is a duty to give voice to the thousands of residents in Renton who are not allowed to vote. She emphasized that it is a citizen's right to petition their government, and for their government to respond affirmatively for ballot measures. Citizen Comment: Greene- Jeannie Greene-Crook(Renton)stated that she had worked in downtown Crook-Initiative Petition Renton for 32 years with 24 of those years at American Drapery located on the Regarding the Downtown corner of S. 3rd St. and Burnett Ave.S. She explained that when the Transit Library Center was built,the downtown area gained crime,transients, and panhandlers. She questioned the safety of the Big 5 site and the parking garage,and noted that American Drapery is relocating as soon as it can sell its building. She stated that the Big 5 site is not a good area. Citizen Comment:Johnson- Ben Johnson (Renton)stated that Council does not have the choice of Initiative Petition Regarding determining whether the initiative is a good idea or not because the RCW the Downtown Library outlines what actions are to be taken after the petition is certified. He read a portion of the RCW and urged Council to do as the law prescribes by either adopting the ordinance or allowing it to go to a public vote. 92 April 2,2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 92 Citizen Comment:Jex- Stanley lex(Renton)questioned whether there may be some other agenda for Initiative Petition Regarding relocating the downtown library. He remarked that Council has received a clear the Downtown Library mandate from City residents and should put the issue to a vote in order to clear up any misunderstandings. He added that many people he talked to would not have voted to annex to KCLS if they had realized that their unique downtown library would be relocated. Citizen Comment: Forister- Phyllis Forister(Renton) stated that she is aware of a letter Council received Initiative Petition Regarding from a Library Advisory Board member that included costs estimates in the the Downtown Library range of$800,000 for the remodel of the existing library buildings. She explained that ex-Councilmember King Parker had asked her where she had come up with the $800,000 sum at a previous Council meeting, and had replied that it was from the Renton Public Library Master Plan. She read a page from the plan stating that remodeling both existing libraries would cost altogether approximately$882,000. Ms. Forister stated that she believes remodeling the existing building is a better option than building a new library for$9 million. She also remarked that the current library is as state-of-the-art as is required by residents, and that KCLS is supported by levies and tax dollars in order to serve the public. Citizen Comment: Parker- King Parker(Renton) reviewed Council's prior decisions leading up to the Initiative Petition Regarding decision to relocate the downtown library at the Big 5 site. He pointed out that the Downtown Library a deciding factor to proceed with a vote on annexation to KCLS was the considerable cross-use fees. He explained that thousands of dollars in fees were incurred by the City when Renton citizens utilized the KCLS system. He stated that the fees became so high the City realized it could not afford to both pay the cross-use fees and continue to operate the libraries. Mr. Parker stated that many viewpoints regarding the downtown library have been expressed and urged Council not to forget the silent majority. He stated that there are over 90,000 residents in Renton and only a small portion of those residents have come forth to voice their position. He cautioned that there are many possible consequences for not staying the Big 5 course, including jeopardizing financing for the new Highlands Library,which is key to redevelopment in the Sunset area. Citizen Comment: McCammon Dave McCammon (Renton) remarked that discussion regarding replacing the - Initiative Petition Regarding downtown library had occurred prior to the annexation vote to KCLS. He stated the Downtown Library that there were numerous opportunities for people to speak for or against the topic prior to any action having been taken. He pointed out that less than 32% of registered voters voted on the measure,and it passed by only 53 votes. Mr. McCammon stated that he believes the initiative is an attempt to undercut the majority decision to annex to KCLS. He remarked that the City must depend upon Council to make informed decisions,and cannot bring every item affecting residents to a vote. He stated that Renton has grown in population and has had to move City Hall,the police station,and even the library buildings in the past. He urged continued City growth by building at the new location. Citizen Comment:Taylor- Bill Taylor(Renton) stated that he agrees with Mr. Parker's comments, and Initiative Petition Regarding added that Council was elected under the assumption that they would make the Downtown Library decisions on behalf of Renton citizens. He remarked that investments have been made based upon Council commitments,and to not follow through on April 2, 2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 93 93 those commitments would be a gross disservice to others who are making investments in downtown. He urged Council to move ahead and relocate the library to the Big 5 site. „w Citizen Comment: Mclrvin- Ryan Mclrvin (Renton) shared his experiences living in other cities and the Initiative Petition Regarding influences that caused his family to move to Renton. He stated that renovating the Downtown Library the existing library space into a new, improved community space is something Renton needs to do in the name of progress and modernity. He added that he would not be supporting the relocation of the downtown library if the City had plans to demolish or dispose of the current library building. Mr. Mclrvin stated that this issue has been tested by the voters and has been vetted thoroughly by the community. He concluded by saying it is time to let go of the past and move on for Renton's future. Citizen Comment: Asher- Beth Asher(Renton)stated that she signed the petition and helped gather Initiative Petition Regarding signatures. She remarked that interlocal agreements can be amended, noting the Downtown Library that there are numerous examples of amended City agreements posted on the internet. She stated that there is a silent majority which includes 283 people who asked King County Elections to change their vote because they felt misled or did not understand the issue during the campaign to annex to KCLS. Ms.Asher also remarked that this is a civil rights issue, that the people have the right to petition, and Council has the right to listen. She stated that Council has only two choices regarding the petition;to either adopt the related ordinance as written,or send the issue to the ballot. She reiterated that it is the people's right to petition, it is a free speech issue, and if Council removes the people from the process then there is no longer a process or democracy. She urged f.. Council not to be afraid to let the voters decide. CONSENT AGENDA Items listed on the consent agenda are adopted by one motion which follows the listing.

Information. Elections Separate Consideration Item Executive Department submitted the Administration's recommendation that 7_e. the City continue its present course of action in constructing both the Library:Administration's downtown and Highlands libraries, and that Council decline to adopt or to place Recommendation to Decline the library initiative ordinance regarding this issue on the ballot. Council to Adopt or Place Initiative on concur. Ballot Council President Zwicker remarked that Consent Agenda Items 7.d. and 7.e. are related to the citizens' initiative petition ordinance regarding the relocation of the downtown library. He stated that he has given the matter considerable thought, and explained that because he took an oath of office to support and maintain the Constitution of the State of Washington and the United States of America, he cannot adopt an ordinance he believes violates the constitution. 95 April 2,2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 95 Mr.Zwicker further explained that because the initiative petition ordinance impacts existing contracts with KCLS, it is unconstitutional. He also stated that although the State statute seems to direct Council to either adopt the ordinance or submit it to a vote of the people, he believes he is constitutionally barred from doing either. MOVED BY ZWICKER,SECONDED BY BRIERE, COUNCIL CONCUR IN CONSENT AGENDA ITEM 7.e.* (See page 99 for action.) Councilmember Taylor expressed disagreement with Mr. Zwicker's assessment of the constitutionality and proposed a discussion and minority report to put this issue to a public vote. Councilmember Corman requested to second if allowed by rules. City Attorney Larry Warren clarified that the first motion had to be disposed of before a second motion could be made. Mayor Law then called for further discussion. Councilmember Taylor expressed disappointment with the route being taken to move the library issue forward, and stated that he was poised to recommend that the topic be placed before the voters. He remarked that the current difficult situation began with a serious mistake on 6/20/2011, when it became clear that the voters voiced opposition to re-site the libraries and their concerns were largely ignored. Mr.Taylor reviewed the history of the City's only other citizens'initiative from 2006 that concerned fireworks. He remarked that the vote to annex to KCLS was marketed by KCLS and passed by only 6,395 votes. He pointed out that was only 12 more votes than the number of citizens who signed the initiative petition regarding the library. Considering that the current grass roots effort did not come into contact with all City residents, Mr. Taylor indicated that he believes this is a largely understated representation of what the library means to the community. Continuing, Mr.Taylor stated that in his experience the four components for community revitalization include restaurants, retail shopping, entertainment, and arts, but not a library. He encouraged a new long-term strategy for the downtown core, and discouraged taking away the public icon to which the people connect. Mr.Taylor stated that the Council needs to be constantly trying to understand where the public wants their tax dollars directed and may need to redirect to get it right. Paraphrasing comments from the letter from the petitioner's attorney, he stated that placing the initiative on the ballot is good public policy and that regardless of the legal merits of the initiative,there is value in allowing people to express their views and in knowing the public's views;therefore the city should place the initiative on the next general election ballot. Councilmember Corman expressed agreement with Mr.Taylor. Addressing Mr. Zwicker's comments, he stated that while Council would not want to write a knowingly unconstitutional law,this issue is about the citizen's law-making process, which is a rare occurrence in the City of Renton. Mr. Corman pointed out that Council has the opportunity to create a City ordinance that effectively accomplishes the intent of the initiative or let it go on the ballot. He remarked that if there is something unconstitutional about the ordinance,then that could "., become an issue in the election and be brought forward in election materials, as sometimes occurs in state-wide initiatives. 96 April 2, 2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 96 Mr. Corman explained that he would like Council to adopt its own ordinance, but that he was also willing to place it on the ballot. Comparing the state-wide petition process that most people are more familiar with to the City's initiative process, Mr. Corman noted that only eight percent of the voters' signatures are needed for a State initiative and only four percent are needed for a State referendum,whereas thirty-three percent of Renton voters'signatures are needed for a City initiative. He emphasized that this is a much higher bar, and is four times what is required by the State process. I Additionally, Mr. Corman described how citizens banded together(in the 1960s)to get the library they wanted spanning the Cedar River. He stated that he feels there was confusion amongst citizens about the new library location, and that the site had not been discussed or decided by Council until after the KCLS annexation went to ballot. When the site was discussed, Mr. Corman stated that it took place during executive session where the Council was initially split between the Big 5 site and the current Cedar River site, with the Big 5 site ultimately being chosen. He remarked that citizens could not have known they were voting to move the library at the time of the KCLS annexation election. Mr. Corman expressed appreciation to the City Attorney for looking at the constitutionality of the initiative petition, and remarked that it is a judicial matter that could be argued if the issue goes to ballot and prevails. He concluded by reiterating that this is a citizens' law-making process. Councilmember Briere commented that even though six thousand people signed the library initiative petition,there are ninety thousand people in the City. She stated that she.is not convinced that this is a true representation of what the community at large might want. Ms. Briere stated that there are a lot of people who believe in moving forward with a library at the new location. Continuing, Ms. Briere stated that there is a fiduciary responsibility and that Council had to weigh the costs associated with the site decision. She explained that after considering service hours and other expenses to operate the library, the cost of remodeling was much more expensive than constructing a new building from the ground up. Ms Briere described comparative considerations that had to be given concerning the old Henry Moses pool,and explained that Councilmembers are elected to weigh all related information to make an informed decision. She stated that she feels Council has done that regarding the library and though she knows some people are disappointed with the decision, she stands by her vote. Councilmember Taylor remarked that the simplest way of finding out what the majority of people want would be to place it on the ballot as requested by the petitioners. Councilmember Palmer stated that her position is the same as it has been all along. She remarked that when the City conducted a survey in 2005 or 2006, it was evident that the downtown library was beloved and considered iconic. Ms. Palmer expressed regret that all of the information was not available before the annexation vote, and that the initial grass roots effort had a difficult time getting information to the public in a short amount of time. She agreed that a legal battle would be a lose-lose situation, and urged that the issue be put to a vote of the people and to let the proponents make their case in an election. 97 April 2, 2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 97 Additionally, Ms. Palmer questioned why the City and KCLS do not celebrate the unique,one-in-the-world library over a river,that could be remodeled to be a tourist attraction. She stated that the library has people and students from rrr around the world looking at it,which is to be celebrated. She suggested that the Big 5 site become something the community supports,such as an arts and culture site. Concluding, Ms. Palmer thanked citizens for caring about the community just as the Mayor and Council cares, and requested that the community support the decisions that are made for both sites. Councilmember Persson urged everyone to look at the dollars and cents and pointed out that there is a limited amount of money for the two libraries. He reminded Council of the costs already spent,and added that additional issues like fish windows,and ecology permits would add even more cost to the renovation of the current library building. Mr. Persson also noted that the City has already spent over$1 million on the Big 5 site with Council's approval. He stated that if the citizens' initiative had included an additional $7 million for the libraries, he would consider it differently. Mr. Persson explained that renowned experts in libraries across the nation indicated that even if the City spent the necessary dollars on the downtown library it would not fit the needs of the community, and would not be considered the most up-to-date library. He acknowledged that contracts can be changed with agreement of both parties, but pointed out that KCLS has already indicated through their attorneys that they are not willing to change their contract with the City. Concluding, Mr. Persson stated that if this were just an emotional issue he would agree to put it on the ballot, or he would be happy if everyone agreed to forego the library remodel and leave it as it is. However, he explained that he cannot put the City in millions of dollars of jeopardy or jeopardize the Highlands library quality because of the limited amount of money budgeted for these programs. Mr. Persson encouraged Council not to put the issue on the ballot because of this danger. Councilmember Briere remarked that the reason the annexation to KCLS was put to a vote in the first place was because the City was running out of money to run the libraries. She explained that the financial burden became even greater after the vote, and if the City had continued to operate the library it would be closed by now. Ms. Briere further explained that more and more citizens were using KCLS services and the City had to pay for that use. She reiterated that this issue was about not having enough money for libraries,and without annexation both of the buildings would have had to have been closed by now. Mr.Corman stated that he was beginning to feel nervous about where this subject was heading. He remarked that the RCW instructs Council to either pass the ordinance or send it to a vote of the people and it does not say Council must first receive an opinion regarding the issue from the City Attorney. He stated that the RCW does state that if Council declines to act on the petition any taxpayer may commence an action in Superior Court against the City to "r procure a decree ordering an election for the purpose of voting on the proposed ordinance. 98 April 2, 2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 98 Continuing, Mr.Corman remarked that this is where he believes any financial jeopardy may come into play. He explained that if Council decides to do nothing, which is contrary to the law,the next step will be court. He pointed out that no one had suggested stopping further development on the new libraries in order to make sure the dedicated library funds are not wasted in court fees. Mr.Corman urged Council to allow the community to have a voice in the matter. He stated that community and business leaders could promote their ideas and each side could make a case for the positions. Mr. Persson remarked that he believes the City will likely end up in court regardless of the decision regarding the petition. He added that the City has the authority to stop progress on the library issue,and he would gladly instruct the administration to halt. However, he emphasized that he respects the City Attorney's opinion that the petition is illegal. Mr.Taylor agreed with Mr. Persson's assessment that the City will end up in court,and stated that he would prefer if that happened the City would be in court protecting the rights and interests of its citizens. He added that the initiative petition provided the information he requested last June when he asked Council to promulgate a poll on the issue. Mr. Corman reviewed the State initiative process, and remarked that the City could emulate that process and put this initiative on the ballot. He stated that if the City was out money for work already completed then that information should be included in the ballot's explanatory statement. He also stated that citizens could weigh those costs with the$9 million required to stay on course and compare it to a good financial analysis of what it would actually cost to renovate the current downtown library building. He added that the current library building will have to be remodeled for any future use and that financial analysis should also be provided to citizens. Continuing, Mr.Corman remarked that in his 18 years of Council experience he believes this to be the most serious decision the Council has had to make. He remarked that Council should do what the people are asking them to do and put the issue on the ballot. Mr.Taylor stated that Council is able to govern at the pleasure of their constituents. He remarked that citizens want to know that they can trust their elected officials to work in their best interests. He stated that if Council misses this opportunity to pivot their direction on this issue, it may call into question any future decisions Council makes. He urged Council to allow the petition to go to a vote. Mayor Law stated that elections costs would run approximately$90,000. He added that Council had heard dialogue from both sides of the issue tonight, and clearly there has been some confusion with voters regarding this topic. He emphasized, however,that the administration has been in a position of following Council direction and moving forward with the library location that is under contractual agreement with KCLS. Additionally, Mayor Law clarified there had been confusion related to the initiative and that the current library building will not be torn down, and the City has been looking to position it for another use. He emphasized that there have been valid comments on both sides and the administration will move forward based on the decision Council makes. 99 April 2, 2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 99 Councilmember Persson called for the question.
