APPEAL a. Planning & Development Committee report re: May Creek Drainage Improvement Permit & Variance 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. 7.

MOVED BY BRIERE, SECONDED BY ZWICKER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE PROCLAMATION. CARRIED. Urban Forestry and Natural Resources Manager Terry Flatley accepted the proclamation. He stated that the marked increase of requests for services from 2008 to 2011 indicate that Renton citizens believe the City's Urban Forestry Program is important. Mr. Flatley announced that Renton celebrates Arbor Day/Earth Day as a combined event, and invited everyone to attend this year's event at the Renton Senior Activity Center, 211 Burnett Ave. N., on April 28. SPECIAL PRESENTATION Community Services Department Administrator Terry Higashiyama announced Community Services: that the Community Services Department received accreditation from CAPRA Department Accreditation (Commission for Accreditation of Parks and Recreation Agencies)for the second time. She stated that only two departments in Washington are accredited, Renton and Bellevue, and only 99 departments in the United States have reached this standard. Ms. Higashiyama stated that by being independently evaluated for compliance with 144 national standards of excellence; policy makers, City staff, and the public are assured that the department demonstrates a high level of quality of service, and is concerned with efficiency, effectiveness, and resource management. She introduced Recreation Manager Kris Stimpson who led the application process. Ms. Stimpson thanked City officials for the opportunity to lead the effort, and remarked that she is proud to work for an organization that holds such high standards. She presented the plaque to Mayor Law. 122 April 16, 2012 Renton City Council Minutes , Page 122 PUBLIC MEETING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Library: Potential Ballot accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Law opened the public meeting to Measure Regarding the new consider the ballot measure and title to be submitted to the voters of the City Downtown Library of Renton regarding location of the new downtown King County Library System (KCLS) library,to address the costs associated with the locations, and the ballot title language to be prepared by the City Attorney,which will include the statement of the subject matter,the concise description of the measure and the question. Senior Assistant City Attorney Zanetta Fontes reported that she was tasked with drafting a proposed ballot measure for this issue to be presented to King County Elections by April 25, 2012 in order for it to appear on the August 7, 2012 ballot. She explained her thought process in developing the draft measure. Ms. Fontes pointed out that by statute the measure must be prepared by the City Attorney, and emphasized that it must be accurate, impartial, and should not create a bias one way or the other. Ms. Fontes presented the ten word draft ballot title and reported that it must identify the enacting jurisdiction and tell voters what the measure is about. Addressing the question portion of the measure, she indicated that she reviewed measures from other jurisdictions including Pierce, King,Snohomish, and Spokane Counties to find an example for formatting the question. Ms. Fontes presented the draft question. She stated that although none of the examples she found was a perfect fit,there were examples of measures that asked voters to select between one of two choices. Continuing, Ms. Fontes presented the draft concise description, and explained how it was a difficult task to capture the essential elements in seventy-five words. She explained that the measure has to address the annexation to the King County Library System (KCLS),the City's contracts with KCLS,the essence of the type of library that has to be built,which she chose to describe as"state- of-the-art,"and cost estimates. She stated that she left the Cedar River library costs blank for now because she is unsure that the sum will represent the same message that the$9.3 million sum represents for the library west of the Piazza. Ms. Fontes emphasized that she must be comfortable that the two sums represent the same context. Council President Zwicker asked if removing the sums would call into question the validity.of the ballot title. Ms. Fontes remarked that as long as both sums were removed it would not be an impediment to moving forward with the ballot title. She explained that the sums for the two library locations should then be included in the 250 word explanatory statement that is due to King County Elections by May 15. Councilmember Taylor emphasized that costs are important to residents and if they are removed from the ballot title then the explanatory statement should contain clear-cut numbers for residents. He stated that the City should provide a number for the Cedar River location that is comparable to the number used for the new site. 123 April 16, 2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 123 Ms. Fontes explained that her preference is to include the numbers in the ballot title only if the numbers are impartial, unbiased, and have the same context. She reiterated that the numbers should be included in the explanatory statement if they are not included in the ballot title. Ms. Fontes also explained her reasons for using descriptive terms instead of other language to identify the two locations for the library. Responding to Councilmember Taylor's inquiries, Ms. Fontes stated that if the April 25 deadline is missed the election could end up on the November ballot, and that this could be caused by Council not taking action on the ballot title, Council asking for additional re-writes of the ballot title, or any number of other issues. She also noted that holding an election in November instead of August would cause additional financial burden on the City. Councilmember Taylor expressed concern that the ballot title does not refer to the new library site as the Big 5 site,or former Big 5 site. Ms. Fontes explained her reasoning for the wording,and added that she could include the physical address of 508 S. 3rd St.to the ballot title. Councilmember Briere expressed concern that using the Big 5 corporate name on the ballot title may be infringing on their trademark. Mr.Zwicker pointed out that if the portion regarding the sums for constructing the library is removed from the ballot title then there would be room for both the descriptive and physical addresses. Mr.Zwicker stated that debate about the construction costs could be eliminated from tonight's meeting if Council agreed to remove that portion from the ballot title and include it in the explanatory statement, which is not due to King County Elections until May 15. He added that the City Attorney made it clear that the numbers are not required to be in the ballot title. Mr. Corman stated that he believes it would be better if the numbers were included in the ballot title, but does not think it could be done by the deadline, and pushing the ballot to November would cause the City to spend more money. He indicated that he supported Mr.Zwicker's idea,and explained that as long as the numbers are accurate in the explanatory statement he favored moving the ballot title forward. Ms. Fontes emphasized that the purpose of the explanatory statement is to explain the affect of the vote, and the numbers should be included. Mr. Corman added that the last portion of the concise description should be modified as recommended by Mr.Stuart Avery to read "Renton will keep the existing library building for alternative public use." Ms. Fontes agreed that it was a valid recommendation. Mayor Law indicated that there was Council consensus to remove the costs from the ballot title. Facilities Director Peter Renner reported that background feasibility studies were performed for downtown library locations by Mithun Architects in 2010. He stated that six sites were initially selected and whittled down to the current site over the Cedar River and the new site west of the Piazza at 508 S.3rd St. He stated that the Robinson Company was selected by Mithun Architects to complete the cost estimates for both locations. 124 April 16, 2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 124 Mr. Renner reported that Mithun Architects worked with the Robinson Company to be sure costs were consistent with KCLS standards. He noted that for the building over the Cedar River to become a state-of-the-art library, substantial mechanical,electrical, and other work is required. Mr. Renner also stated that the upgrades were enough to trigger the latest development standards including State energy codes, building codes,seismic upgrades,and Federal ADA standards. He remarked that the firm Swenson Say Faget was contracted to provide a seismic analysis in 2011. He introduced Kirk Robinson, President of Robinson Company,to provide more detailed information about cost estimating. Mr. Robinson provided background information about his company, and stated that 80%of the estimates they provide are for public facilities. He added that Robinson Company has worked with KCLS for over 20 years and knows their standards. He stated that his company provided programming level estimates based on what is likely to be designed, not on actual floor plans. He added that estimated contingencies are reduced the further along the project proceeds. Responding to Mr. Corman's inquiry, Mr. Robinson stated that the$3.1 million contingency is for what is sometimes called soft costs or indirect costs. He explained that these costs generally include things not partof the general contractor's bid including permits, builders risk insurance, sales tax, and unforeseen conditions. He indicated that these costs can range from forty to sixty percent of the budget depending on the type of building being constructed or renovated. Mr. Renner remarked that at Council's direction the administration also contracted Mithun Architects to provide an estimate for renovating the current library building for the simplest re-use of the building. He explained that the estimate was essentially for a shell with only the bare minimum of items renovated including mechanical systems, electrical systems, and minor bathroom remodeling. He stated that this did not include furniture or specialized spaces. Mr. Renner reported this minimalist renovation would be approximately$2 million,and if the added seismic and floor loading renovations are included it would be closer to$3 million. Responding to Council inquiries, Mr. Robinson stated that it is premature to put a number on total renovation costs until the City clearly defines the level of quality and future use of the building. He stated that the City could expect to have a library that meets KCLS standards for the$10.1 million estimate. Mr. Renner clarified that current development regulations are triggered when upgrades to a building hit 50%of its assessed valuation. He reported that the Cedar River library building's assessed valuation for 2011 is$3.83 million. He emphasized that just renovating the mechanical systems and completing seismic upgrades would trigger the new development standards. He introduced Bill Ptacek, Director of the King County Library System. Mr. Ptacek requested that Council call for the election sooner than later. He shared experiences renovating other libraries within the KCLS system and remarked that each renovation has its own mitigating circumstances that can contribute to additional costs. 125 April 16, 2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 125 Mr. Ptacek also requested that the City allow the current contracts related to the Big 5 location to progress in the event voters choose that location, so that no time is lost in the process. He cautioned that the interlocal agreement calls for the construction of two new libraries and there are limited funds to do so. He asked that the funding be preserved so that residents can receive the services that were anticipated when they voted to annex to KCLS. Responding to Council inquiries, Mr. Ptacek stated that environmental and permitting for the library over the river has been a concern for KCLS from the beginning. He added that KCLS has staff on hand with extensive environmental permitting experience who also raised concerns about the permitting for that site. Mr. Renner stated that City staff began the permitting process when it became clear the building would be used for some purpose if the library was moved. He stated that although Renton is the jurisdiction to provide the permits, there have been discussions between the City, KCLS, and the Department of Ecology to make sure everyone knows which permits are required. Correspondence from Stuart Avery(Renton) requesting changes to the ballot title was acknowledged. Public comment was invited. Gary Barber(Renton) stated that it was clear when the City annexed to the KCLS system that two new libraries would be constructed. He expressed support for the new location, and remarked that the current building is at the end if its useful life as a library. Mr. Barber stated that it is important that the building be renovated from a tourism standpoint. He remarked that citizens cannot afford to pay more money to keep the library at its current location. Marvin Rosete (Renton) stated that the Liberty Park Library Building Steering Committee members provided to Council a vision of what the current library building could be used for in the future. He stated that he believes the building has run its course as a library. He also questioned how long the library will remain state-of-the-art even if it is renovated, and how much longer the building could remain at its current location over the river. Mr. Rosete expressed support for the new location because it is safer and closer to Renton High School. Responding to Mr. Corman's inquiries, Mr. Rosete stated that he was expressing his opinion, not the opinion of his colleagues at the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Rosete stated that there must be more discussion on the future use of the current library building. He reasoned that the City would then have two public facilities to draw visitors to the downtown core. Mr. Corman remarked that he would hope'the Chamber would support any future use of the current building. David Beedon (Renton)stated that he was unaware there was an agreement with KCLS prior to the annexation and requested a copy of the contract. He also requested that the phrase "west of the Piazza" in the draft ballot title be defined more clearly, pointing out that Rainier Avenue is west of the Piazza. City Clerk Bonnie Walton clarified that interlocal agreements are posted and available on the City's website. 126 April 16, 2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 126 Elizabeth Stevens(Renton) shared her experience visiting the City of Walla Walla, and explained that their downtown is a revitalization success story. Ms. Stevens stated that Renton could be like Walla Walla by making commitments to support the downtown business community. She also stated that small projects and focused marketing could help achieve this goal. David Keyes(Renton) remarked that the interlocal agreement with KCLS provides opportunities for both parties to negotiate change. He cited specific paragraphs within one contract with KCLS,and suggested that it is Council's function to negotiate those changes. Stuart Avery(Renton)expressed appreciation that Council and the administration were considering his recommendations regarding the wording on the ballot title. He remarked that he would like the costs to be in the title, and $10.1 million in his opinion is a good estimate for the renovation of the current library building. He stated that he believes that even if the current location costs more money, it is a better deal because it is in a better location with better access, and more parking. Mark Martinez(Renton)stated that he would prefer that all of the costs are included in the ballot title including the costs to repurpose the current location if the library is moved. He stated that no matter how the City or KCLS pay for the projects, taxpayers are really paying for them. He remarked that he does not buy the cheapest most convenient products; he looks for quality and things that last the longest. Mr. Martinez also urged Council to halt the current work on the new library site. Judy Tabak(Renton) stated that the union between the King County Library System,the City of Renton, and Renton taxpayers is not working. She stated the new library should have a Renton identity, and it is nonsensical to think that a 46-year-old building is at the end of its useful life. Phyllis Forister(Renton) remarked that a moratorium should be placed on the work at the Big 5 site. She stated that the City and KCLS should not be proceeding because a majority of residents feel they have been misled about the annexation to KCLS. She also stated that Council should be listening to taxpayers and not acknowledging special interest groups. Ms. Forister added that KCLS is not a financial stakeholder in the process,and the wishes of Renton residents should be honored. She recommended that the Liberty Park Library Building Steering Committee recommendations be applied to the Big 5 building. Beth Asher(Renton)stated that supporters of the current library location do not hate the downtown core. She remarked that there are opportunities for partnerships, low rent studio spaces, and multi-cultural exhibits in downtown. Ms.Asher added that the Big 5 site could be used as an arts and culture building. She stated that the downtown core does not draw tourism, and submitted a report of recommendations for the Big 5 site created by the proponents of the current library building. She asked that Council listen to their constituents and not to KCLS. Jeannie Greene-Crook(Renton) remarked that KCLS is getting a brand new library in the Highlands. She asked why the 200 Mill Building could not be used w� to temporarily house the current library during renovations, noting that the City already owns that building. 127 April 16, 2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 127 Ms. Fontes stated that the administration will present a resolution to Council containing a ballot title calling for an election next week. She stated that if Council adopts the resolution it will be sent to King County Elections. Ms. Fontes explained that the next step will then be to draft the explanatory statement which is due to King County Elections by May 15, and for the City Clerk to form the three member committees for the pro and con statements. Discussion ensued regarding whether or not to use the descriptive terms or physical addresses for the proposed library locations. MOVED BY PERSSON, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL APPROVE PLACING THIS TOPIC(CHOICE OF DOWNTOWN KCLS LIBRARY LOCATION)ON THE AUGUST 7, 2012 BALLOT.* Further discussion ensued regarding removing the dollar amounts from the ballot title, adding the physical addresses while retaining the descriptive terms for the library locations, and whether or not the changes would fit the seventy- five word limitation for the concise description. Mr.Taylor stated for the record that he believes Council is over-complicating the issue by using the term "west of the Piazza" instead of"the Big 5 site." He explained that he believes this will cause confusion for some voters. However, he stated he did not want to create a delay and is willing to go along with his colleagues to put this on the ballot. *MOTION CARRIED. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY ZWICKER, SECONDED BY PALMER, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC MEETING. CARRIED. APPEAL Planning and Development Committee Chair Prince presented a report Appeal: May Creek Drainage regarding the May Creek Drainage Improvement Permit and Variance appeal. Improvement Permit& The Committee recommended that Council CONCUR with the Hearing Variance, King County Land & Examiner's recommendation to deny without prejudice King County's Water Resources, LUA-11-039 application for critical areas and special permit for grade and fill. The Committee finds no error of fact or law in the Hearing Examiner's hearing decision or decision on reconsideration. Specifically, based on the record and the properly admitted arguments at the hearing, King County has failed to demonstrate to the City's satisfaction that there will be no significant impact on the property of Renton citizens as a result of King County's work upstream.

Mr. Dunn reported that he introduced anti-gang and human trafficking legislation this year.

He remarked that if the vote is affirmative Annexation: West Hill Election it will require the City to develop a plan to take in the area. He explained that there had been some thought previously that Council could decide whether or not to take the area in after an affirmative vote, however, it had been clarified by the City Attorney that if the vote is affirmative the City is required to annex.

He stated that if the issue goes to a vote in November and is not approved, the annexation sales tax credit could be lost. 190 June 18, 2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 190 Mayor Law also stated that with this report, if the annexation election is approved by voters,the administration is comfortable knowing that the funding issues will be worked out prior to effectuating the annexation. He added that the administration will not propose annexing the area until the City can afford ■oll to do so. Councilmember Corman summarized the issue by stating that approving the report would keep in place the state annexation sales tax credit but delays the vote, and if the economy brightens Council may be able to set a date for the election in the future. Mayor Law remarked that the issue has been discussed for a long time, and if the annexation election is positive,the City will need to find a way to take West Hill in at some point in time.

AUDIENCE COMMENT Lori Madson (Renton)shared her history of working to achieve a city-wide Citizen Comment: Madson - fireworks ban. She remarked that due to budget cuts the Fire and Police Enforcement of City-Wide departments are no longer able to effectively enforce the ban. Ms. Madson Fireworks Ban emphasized that the City has a zero-tolerance policy regarding fireworks, and requested the number of fireworks-related citations written for this year and the previous two years. Mayor Law acknowledged that there are limited resources for enforcing the ban, and asked Fire & Emergency Services Administrator Mark Peterson to summarize the department's response to this year's Fourth of July event. Discussion ensued regarding whether or not lighting a large explosive device is a felony, and police officer comments regarding enforcement strategies. Councilmember Corman requested that the administration address Ms. Madson's concerns regarding fireworks ban violations and police officer comments. Fire & Emergency Services Administrator Mark Peterson reported that the department worked with Valley Communications in preparation of the increase in calls for service due to fireworks complaints. He emphasized that the department has limited resources and had to use on-duty fire apparatuses and personnel. He added that all five Fire Inspectors were on duty that night, and they made 47 contacts, confiscated over 50 pounds of fireworks, and issued one $100 and five $500 citations. Chief Peterson reported that while the enforcement efforts were on-going the department also responded to over 136 calls for service including, five motor vehicle accidents, five automatic fire alarm calls, a water craft rescue, 22 Emergency Medical Services responses, and five medic responses. Concluding, Chief Peterson reported that there were no fireworks injuries or loss or damage due to fireworks within Renton city limits. He noted that although there were some fireworks set off within the city, the offenders were usually gone before the Fire Department could get to their location. July 9,2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 205 205 Citizen Comment:Adams- Audrey Adams(Renton) stated that she had provided Council with a summary Fluoridated Water of 92 studies questioning the safety of fluoridated water. She explained the concept of the precautionary principle, and stated that if the principle was applied to the issue of fluoridated water,the significance of this issue would be elevated. Ms.Adams also shared information regarding a court case involving a union scientist who was fired from the Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) because he believed fluoride to be unsafe. She noted that he won the case and was able to win his job back. MOVED BY TAYLOR,SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL ALLOW MS.ADAMS A FEW ADDITIONAL MINUTES TO CONCLUDE HER COMMENTS. CARRIED. Concluding, Ms.Adams acknowledged that there are opposing views on this topic, but remarked that she has nothing to gain except knowing that she believes she is doing the right thing by informing Council of the issue. She added that the precautionary principle would set a higher standard than just proving that something is unsafe,and should be applied since the City is using public water as an avenue to introduce a drug to the population. Councilmember Corman remarked that Council is listening to Ms.Adams' concerns,and that information regarding fluoride has changed immensely over the past 30,years. He stated that he believes this is an issue that should probably go back to the voters at some time in the future. Council President Zwicker remarked that, as mentioned by Ms.Adams,there are two sides to the issue, and that he believes changes can be made without going back to the voters. He suggested that a briefing to the Utilities Committee would provide an opportunity for Ms.Adams to present her information in a precise manner, and it would also give City staff an opportunity to weigh-in on the topic.

PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Transportation: 2013-2018 accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Law opened the public hearing to Six-Year Transportation consider the annual update of the Six-Year Transportation Improvement Improvement Program (TIP) Program (TIP), 2013-2018. Transportation Planning and Program Supervisor Jim Seitz reported that transportation programs and projects are required to be incorporated into the TIP in order to receive State or Federal funding. He explained that the purpose of the TIP is to develop a multi-year plan for the development of transportation facilities and to develop funding plans for each project or program. He also stated that the TIP is coordinated with public and private utilities in an effort to coordinate their facility improvements. Mr. Seitz reported that the TIP supports the City's business plan by promoting planned growth for the community, providing infrastructure for economic development, and supports overall objectives, policies, capital facilities plan, and transportation elements of the Comprehensive Plan. He reported that the City allocates its funds in order to leverage outside funding for the programs and projects in the TIP. Mr. Seitz further reported that the TIP contains 42 programs and projects including 16 corridor projects, seven system preservation programs, six non- motorized programs,two safety programs, two area transit programs, and nine other programs such as the 1%for Arts and Neighborhood Plan. Mr. Seitz highlighted current projects including Rainier Ave. S. -S. Grady Way to S. 2nd St., Garden Ave. N. Widening and Intersection Improvements, NE 4th St. - Union Ave. NE to Whitman Ave. NE Improvements,SW 27th St./Strander Blvd Connection, and the Highlands to Landing/Boeing Pedestrian Connection. He also noted that two collector streets were added to the Arterial Street Plan due to the Gale Annexation. August 13, 2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 231 Concluding, Mr. Seitz reported that of the total expenditures for the 2013-2018 TIP, approximately$47 million is funded and $149 million is unfunded. He reviewed the various funding sources, options for unfunded needs, and the impact that the economy has had on the TIP. He reviewed revenue sources and stated that 66%of funding is from grants, 23% is from City business license fees, 9%is from the gas fuel tax, and 2%is from mitigation fees. Mr. Seitz remarked that questions had come up during the Transportation (Aviation) Committee and that staff recommends that Council take no action on the TIP at this meeting. Public comment was invited. Mark Martinez (Renton) expressed concern that the City was paying for a pedestrian walkway that will likely not be used because it is located on a very long and steep hill. He suggested that there are better ways to spend the funds including enhancing the downtown area and mitigating traffic. Councilmember Persson remarked that quite a few citizens have requested that the walkway be built. He shared stories of residents who have to walk that way to work, and noted that the State is contributing most of the funding because the walkway should have been included when the road was constructed. Kathie Ossenkop (Renton) expressed concern about the quality of the air along the Sunset Blvd. corridor. She explained that she tested the air quality on a Friday afternoon and became sick from inhaling too much automobile exhaust. She stated that Council should consider the affect of the exhaust fumes on children with asthma who may utilize the walkway. Dave Beedon (Renton) asked for clarification of the term collector street. Mr. Seitz responded that the term is a street classification and that a collector street collects vehicles and pedestrians from residential streets and delivers them to major arterial streets. Continuing, Mr. Beedon remarked that the number of pedestrians walking on Puget Dr. S. increased dramatically after a sidewalk was constructed. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY ZWICKER, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Mayor Law reported that overwhelming preference was expressed by voters in the 8/7/2012 election for the downtown library to remain over the Cedar River. He stated that the City is moving forward with discussions with the King County Library System (KCLS) to facilitate design work and other issues required at that location. AUDIENCE COMMENT Stuart Avery(Renton) expressed concern regarding the 8/6/2012 action taken Citizen Comment: Avery- to reduce the time allotted to citizens during audience comment periods. He Audience Comment Policy also expressed disappointment with the new restriction that limits the second Change audience comment period to new topics. Mr.Avery stated that the speaking times are beneficial to the public because residents not in attendance can have transparent access to the view-points. He also stated that overly redundant messages coming from the public are an indicator that an issue may require more attention. August 13, 2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 232 Citizen Comment: Beedon- Dave Beedon (Renton)objected to the recent action taken to reduce the time Audience Comment Policy allotted to citizens during the audience comment periods. He stated that Change reducing the time limit from five to three minutes will not stop people from rambling. Citizen Comment:Johnson- Ben Johnson (Renton)shared stories indicating that public comment is useful Audience Comment Policy because sometimes regular citizens come up with good ideas. He suggested Change banning arcane topics and moving the Committee of the Whole meeting to after the Council meeting to improve efficiency. Citizen Comment: Diamond- Ed Diamond (King County), representing Washington Citizens for Sustainable United Nations Agenda 21 Economy, invited City officials to attend a meeting on August 29 regarding United Nations Agenda 21. He stated that many municipalities have come to see what the true agenda is and have withdrawn membership from the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives(ICLEI). Citizen Comment: Lambert- Kai Lambert (King County)stated that citizen participation regarding the library Cedar River Library issue must continue because of the recent vote for the Cedar River Library. He remarked that the interlocal agreement(ILA) with the King County Library System (KCLS) now appears to be in conflict with the will of the Renton voters. Mr. Lambert also remarked that he does not believe the City can rely on the support of the City Attorney and suggested that City can buy the legal help it needs to handle the ILA. He added that members of the audience have documents and information regarding the library renovation,and requested that experts from Citizens for the Cedar River Library be allowed to schedule a presentation on these facts. Councilmember Corman stated that the City will take his request under n. consideration. He reiterated that the Mayor emphasized that the City is moving forward, and he believes the topic is relevant and should be rolled into the planning process. Citizen Comment: Bray- Richard Bray(Renton)expressed disappointment in the reduction of time Audience Comment Policy allotted to speakers for audience comment. He explained that in a previous Change instance he could only address Council during the second audience comment period because of attending his son's baseball games,and the new policy would eliminate such opportunity. He urged Council to reconsider the policy change. Councilmember Briere stated that she believes there is a misinterpretation regarding the second audience comment period. She explained that the goal was to preclude persons who spoke on a topic during the first audience comment period to reiterate the same points during the second audience comment period. Councilmember Taylor remarked that nonetheless the policy change created a reduction of audience comment. He explained that the first period was reduced by 40%and the second period was reduced by 60%. He noted that if someone missed the first period they are then limited to two minutes. Mr. Taylor also remarked that sometimes it takes redundancy in order for Council to understand the importance of the remarks. August 13, 2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 233 Citizen Comment: Greene- Jeannie Greene-Crook (Renton) stated that she would like City officials to honor Crook-Cedar River Library the 76%of voters who supported the Cedar River Library by not holding up or delaying any permitting, procedures, or actions in order to delay the refurbishing of the library. She remarked that anyone who felt they could not do this job should step down from their positions. Citizen Comment: Pajor- Johnjoseph Pajor(Renton) stated that public comments limited to three Audience Comment Policy minutes per speaker is insufficient. He explained that City officials are to Change & Cedar River Library govern under a sacred trust as representative government, and public meetings are made for public awareness and public input. Mr. Pajor remarked that in the past Council has moved ahead on issues when the public clearly disagreed with their actions, and reversing the landslide voter approval of retaining the Cedar River Library as suggested by the Renton Reporter would be political suicide. Councilmember Persson stated that he believes that this is another misunderstanding because, as the Mayor clearly stated, the vote is over and he has directed City staff to move post-haste to work with KCLS to refurbish the library over the river. Citizen Comment: Ossenkop- Kathy Ossenkop (Renton) stated that she is outraged that Council changed the Audience Comment Policy time limits that speakers are allotted during the audience comment periods. Change She remarked that the time limits were something residents could historically count on, and not everyone can articulate their thoughts in three minutes or less. Council President Zwicker explained that the original policy limited the first audience comment period to 30 minutes so Council could conduct its business. mµ He also explained that the second audience comment was only meant to be used as overflow from the first period, and was not meant to be used for rebuttals. Mr. Zwicker pointed out that the old policy was often not followed, therefore Council made an attempt to improve meeting efficiency by codifying the elimination of the 30-minute time limit, the reduction in the allotted speaking times, and also guaranteed a second audience comment period. Citizen Comment: McOmber- Howard McOmber(Renton) stated that Council sets the policy and direction for Renton Highlands the City, and requested that the Planning Division be given flexibility regarding redevelopment in the Highlands. He emphasized that the Highlands area is the best kept secret for affordable housing in Western Washington, and he would like it to remain that way. Councilmember Corman stated that Mr. McOmber is alluding to a thought from a few years ago that the old duplexes could be redeveloped through some type of government ownership program, and pointed out that that idea was scrapped because of public input. He added that the duplexes have not been removed as the lots have been redeveloped, and that City staff believes the intention is to remove the duplexes when the lots are redeveloped. Mr. Corman stated that is the issue currently before the Planning and Development Committee. He suggested that the public needs to weigh-in on the topic. August 13,2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 234 Citizen Comment: Keyes- David Keyes(Renton)thanked Councilmember Briere for the clarification Audience Comment Policy regarding the second audience comment period, but stated that the message Change did not come through in the text that was written on the agenda. He stated that time allotted to speakers should not be shortened, and pointed out that the Council meetings are already fairly efficient averaging only 36 minutes long in 2012 with a few exceptions. Citizen Comment: Hassan - Mohamed Hassan (Renton) expressed concern regarding the reduction in the Audience Comment Policy amount of time allotted to speakers during audience comment periods. He Change remarked that people in Renton speak many different languages and may have a hard time expressing themselves in three minutes. He also stated that City Hall is the people's house,and everyone should feel welcome to come and speak to Council at length about important issues. Citizen Comment: Battle - Stewart Battle (Shoreline), representing the LaRouche Political Action Glass-Steagall Act Committee(PAC),shared information regarding the downturn in the global and American economies. He asked that Council support the Glass-Steagall Act that would separate commercial and investment banking. Citizen Comment: Stuart- Sara Stuart(Seattle), representing the LaRouche Political Action Committee Glass-Steagall Act (PAC), requested that Council pass a resolution in support of HR 1489,a resolution in Congress that calls for the separation of commercial and investment banks. Senior Assistant City Attorney Barber cautioned that the speaker may reference issues of public concern, but under the Public Disclosure Act, RCW 42.17A.555, could not campaign for any ballot measure,whether it be local, state,or federal, or campaign for any candidate. i Ms.Stuart clarified that she would like to see support of the Glass-Steagall act. She read a list of institutions in Washington state that support the act. Ms. Stuart also outlined a plan called the North American Water and Power Alliance that would immediately employ six million people. Citizen Comment: Poitras- Bob Poitras (Renton) remarked that he opposes the three minute time limit for Audience Comment Policy speakers,and asked that if it remains that he be allowed to yield his time to Change another speaker. He also asked if the traffic signal at Lind Ave.SW and S. 180th St. could be reprogrammed. Mayor Law remarked that Public Works Administrator Gregg Zimmerman would look into it. Citizen Comment:Asher- Beth Asher(Renton)stated that the audience also has to sit through the same Audience Comment Policy repetitive comments, and that most people repeat themselves so Council Change understands the importance of what they are saying. She pointed out that a survey was conducted in 2011 regarding how well the City communicates with its citizens and only 4.4%of residents could find and take the survey. She asked that people be given more opportunities to speak to Council, including being able to make presentations.

(See page 240 for ordinance.) Community Services Councilmember Palmer announced that she was holding the committee report Committee on filling the vacancy on the Library Advisory Board because she would like to Appointment: Library Advisory look at all of the people on the board in light of the recent election regarding Board the Cedar River Library site. She stated that she would like to consider someone for the board that supported the Cedar River Library since that is the direction the City will be moving. Councilmember Briere asked if that was a decision made by the entire committee. She expressed surprise that someone would not be allowed to serve on the board because they had supported the Piazza location. Ms. Palmer clarified that she and Mr. Prince were present for the Committee meeting and Mr. Taylor was absent. She stated that she would like to see more balance on the board moving forward, and that although the candidate was well qualified, in the last three years everyone appointed to the board has had the same pro-Piazza point of view. Maud Ms Briere reiterated that she does not understand what someone's position on the library location has to do with the board appointment now that the location has been decided. She emphasized that the City is moving forward with the Cedar River location, and every on the board should be pro-library. Mayor Law stated that it is his appointment, recommended by the Community Services Department, and that he would not have declined the recommendation based on Ms. Palmer's reasoning. He added that if Council as a whole declines the appointment, he could leave the position open and not bring a new candidate forward. He stated that he is not aware of any provision that allows Council to review the candidates and make the appointments. Senior Assistant City Attorney Barber confirmed Mayor Law's statement. Council President Zwicker stated that the appointment recommendation was referred to the Community Services Committee and was not reported out. He remarked that this leaves the issue open for Council action. MOVED BY ZWICKER,SECONDED BY BRIERE, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE MAYOR'S APPOINTMENT OF LYNNE M. KING TO THE LIBRARY ADVISORY BOARD FOR AN UNEXPIRED TERM EXPIRING 9/1/2014. (See page 237 for action.) Acknowledging the awkwardness of this issue and the full capabilities of Ms. King, Councilmember Corman stated that after 2010 he was aware, although he was never critical of it publically,that people who applied for the Library Advisory Board who had been in favor of retaining the independent library system were passed over in favor of applicants who had favored joining KCLS. August 13, 2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 237 He added that he did not know if that was actually true. He stated that not even one quarter of the voting population approved of the Piazza site and yet Council is about to add another person to the board who took that position. He challenged how this could be representative of the community. Ms. Briere reemphasized that the vote has occurred and the City is moving forward at the Cedar River location. She stated that she feels strongly that an incorrect assumption is being made that Library Advisory Board members cannot lead because they had a position about where it should be located. Councilmember Prince added that the election has occurred and he believes it is time to stop talking in "us" and "them" language. He stated that everyone needs to come back together as a community and work toward the betterment of the Cedar River Library. He remarked that in his opinion whether someone supported one side or the other is now moot because of the vote, and continuing to use this type of language is not going to help the community. Mr. Corman objected to Mr. Prince's statements. He emphasized that all he meant was that he believes it would be nice to have a board whose opinions reflect the opinions of the community. He remarked that if the appointee was in the audience she could be asked if she was comfortable moving in this direction. Councilmember Taylor stated that his initial reaction is to think of the appointee who is now in this situation. He remarked that he believes there was an erosion of confidence and trust in Council, and that there are members of the board who can move forward. He stated that in order to restore public confidence Council should be appointing members who will advocate for citizens' best interests. Mr. Taylor remarked that the public will cannot be ignored, and that Council should not ignore the idea that some of the board members were passionate about the Piazza site. He stated that providing balance on the board will demonstrate the Council is sensitive to the issue, and is willing to find ways to mend the gaps in trust. Mr. Corman stated that blame for the controversy could be placed on the Renton Reporter. He remarked that he has no idea why the newspaper would have printed an article that said the library issue was not a done deal in spite of the vote. He remarked that after reading the article he does not think trying to make sure the Library Advisory Board was balanced is a bad call. Mr. Prince added that he was in the committee meeting and the appointee did say that it was time to move on. He also reemphasized that this is a Mayoral appointment and that the Mayor ultimately decides who is recommended to be appointed. Council President Zwicker called for the question. ROLL CALL: FOUR AYES: ZWICKER, BRIERE, PRINCE, PERSSON. TWO NOES: TAYLOR, PALMER. ABSTAINED: CORMAN. *MOTION CARRIED.

CARRIED. (See page 239 for resolution.) Council: Reconsider Motion to MOVED BY CORMAN, SECONDED BY PALMER, COUNCIL RECONSIDER THE Change Audience Comment ACTION TAKEN 8/6/2012 ADOPTING THE POLICY CHANGE FOR AUDIENCE Policy COMMENT.* (See page 239 for action.) Councilmember Corman stated that members of the public have grown ti accustomed to being allowed five minutes at the beginning and end of the meetings to speak to Council, and remarked that Mr. Keyes' observation that most of the meetings last around 36 minutes seems accurate. He remarked that he did not think people would try to communicate a complicated topic if they were only allowed three minutes. Mr. Corman also acknowledged Mr. Stuart's point that emailing Council in advance precludes the public from knowing what Council is receiving. Mayor Law reminded Council that as a Council policy it could be changed back at any time. Ms. Briere stated that she is in favor of the policy change mostly due to the changes in the second comment period. She explained that the intent was to try to get citizens to talk about a different topic, and not repeat the exact same information they brought up during the first comment period.

He remarked that his group would like to make a presentation in order to show Council important information regarding design costs and operating expenses. Councilmember Briere asked Mr. Lambert what specifically he would like to present. Mr. Lambert remarked that his group has extensively studied KCLS documents that Council has not seen. He stated that there are very strong grounds to challenge the engineering and science behind some of the decisions that KCLS is making. He commented that some of the information is very technical but can be made understandable through a few spreadsheets and graphs. August 13, 2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 241 Councilmember Corman remarked that the purpose of the Library Advisory Board is to hear these types of presentations and report recommendations to Council. Citizen Comment: Keyes- David Keyes (Renton) remarked that the comments in the studies for the library Cedar River Library are a political tool as opposed to a real study of the physical situation. He remarked that the library consultants did not conduct a proper feasibility study because it does not contain information regarding budgeting, comparative pricing, and their recommendations lead to extremely expensive components that are simply aesthetic. He also stated that there are a series of misstatements in the study regarding the state energy code. Councilmember Briere remarked that a lot of that type of information is outside the scope of the Council, and must be reviewed by City and KCLS staff who then make recommendations to Council. She noted that the feasibility study was done independently. Mr. Keyes remarked that the information he has can be provided to the Library Advisory Board as long as it makes its way back to Council.

He remarked that there are other issues that need to be discussed with KCLS and voters have the right to know that their interests will be represented. Mr. Pajor also remarked that KCLS is being investigated for mismanagement. Citizen Comment: Asher- Beth Asher(Renton) questioned what was happening with the Highlands Library Advisory Board Library, and expressed concern that cost overruns will not be blamed on KCLS Appointments but on the fact that citizens wanted the Cedar River Library to be renovated. She also stated that tonight's ramming of the appointee to the Library Advisory Board confirms that Council is not listening to residents concerns about the library.

MOVED BY ZWICKER,SECONDED BY BRIERE, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE PROCLAMATION. CARRIED. SPECIAL PRESENTATION Beth Asher, member of the Renton Residents Advocacy Coalition (RRAC), stated Library: Renton Residents that the group is comprised of former Cedar River Library supporters who have Advocacy Coalition—Library common library goals that include public engagement, a transparent design Design process, and successful projects that are within budget. She remarked that citizen action is required because the 76% majority of 8/7/2012 voters feel they are not represented in the process. Ms.Asher stated that the group is offering a five-person design team who are willing to help provide oversight during the design and construction phases of the library projects. She requested that the team be given adequate notice of meetings, allowed to provide input, and allowed to keep residents informed of progress. She introduced members Dana Rochex and David Keyes. September 10, 2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 259 Mr. Keyes displayed invoices from the King County Library System (KCLS)to the City for both the Highlands and the downtown library. He remarked that the invoices suggest that work at the Big 5 site accelerated through May and June, ■.. yet the City has not received the final schematic design package for that site. Mr. Keyes stated that there has been some discussion as to whether or not KCLS has the ability to manage and design these types of projects. He displayed a chart that indicated that KCLS projects have change orders that average 36.9% of the total cost of the construction contract. He remarked that for public works contracts this percentage is generally around eight to twelve percent. Continuing, Mr. Keyes remarked that there are conflicting estimates for the total budget for the Cedar River Library. He stated that the City's initial estimate was$10.1 million,and KCLS has indicated that the estimate is now $13.1 million. He stated that the difference is significant, but may be moot if the City has provided KCLS with an appropriate budget. Mr. Keyes added that budget differences may be due to the extremely expensive material choices that KCLS is making for the new library. He indicated that the City could save as much as$679,000 by changing one material selection. He also indicated that the current study being used by KCLS has design changes that do not reflect the desires of the community. He displayed a diagram of the proposed changes to the Cedar River Library that showcased meeting rooms and the entry vestibule, and remarked that KCLS is not utilizing the space to its fullest potential. Council President Zwicker remarked that Mr. Keyes was dissecting a design plan for a library that has yet to be designed. He stated that he was not aware that a plan had even been submitted to the City yet. Chief Administrative Officer Covington confirmed that KCLS had not yet submitted a design plan for the Cedar River Library. He stated that he believed that Mr. Keyes was reacting to the schematics that the company Miller Hull created for KCLS this past summer. Councilmember Corman stated that although Mr. Keyes delved deeply into details,the point of the presentation was to indicate that the advocacy group would like to provide input to the design process. Mr.Zwicker stated that we would like the record to reflect that there is no design plan for the Cedar River Library at this time. Mr.Covington added that Council will receive updates on both libraries from KCLS and City staff at their next Committee of the Whole meeting. Mr. Corman remarked that he believes the intent of the presentation is to raise the question of who is responsible for project oversight. He stated that this is an unusual project because KCLS is managing the project,yet the City is paying for it. He stated that citizens want to be involved in the process are seeking the proper forum to air their concerns. Mr. Keyes acknowledged that the City has not received a design plan for the Cedar River Library from KCLS. He remarked that the issues he has raised are examples of the types of concerns residents have with what KCLS and their architects are likely to present to the City. He reiterated that he believes it is �.. beneficial to be allowed to have more input in the design process than is currently allowed in the in the interlocal agreement with KCLS. September 10, 2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 260 Dana Rochex read her biography and the biographies of Beth Asher, Elizabeth Stevens, David Keys, and Cary Feldman, members of the Renton Residents Advocacy Coalition.

MOVED BY ZWICKER,SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL SUSPEND THE RULES AND ADVANCE TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT. CARRIED. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington reviewed a written administrative report summarizing the City's recent progress towards goals and work programs adopted as part of its business plan for 2012 and beyond. Items noted were: ❖ At the September 17, 2012 Committee of the Whole meeting Council will be provided an update on the progress of both the Highlands and Cedar River libraries from King County Library System and City staff. Additionally, beginning September 18 the City will be hosting open-houses regarding the libraries every third Tuesday of the month. These open houses are opportunities for residents to provide comments and suggestions to all agencies and developers involved in the design and construction of both libraries. Further,the administration has provided Council a list of guiding principles regarding the development of the two libraries with the intention that these principles be adopted. It has been said from the Council dais and from the administration that the City is committed to making the libraries be tremendous assets for the Renton Community. ❖ Ron Regis, long-time Renton resident who served on the City of Renton Parks Commission from 1963 to 2011 (48)years, passed away on August 11, 2012. A"Celebration of Life" will be held on Wednesday, September 12, at the Renton Community Center at noon. ❖ The Community Services Department's Customer Satisfaction Survey for Parks,Trails, and Open Space Areas is available online and hard copies are available at the Renton Senior Activity Center,the Renton Community Center, and other locations. Please take a moment to fill out the survey and share your comments with the department. PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in CED: Updates to Fire accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Law opened the public hearing to Protection, Parks & consider updates to Fire Protection, Parks,and Transportation impact fees. Transportation Impact Fees Community and Economic Development Administrator Chip Vincent introduced Randy Young, of Henderson,Young &Company,to provide a review of the proposed changes to impact fees. Mr.Young reported that impact fees are only paid once,generally by the developer who pulls the building permits to build something new or to do a major redevelopment. He stated that impact fees pay for capital costs,and are used to pay for fire trucks but not firefighters,or park land but not park maintenance employees. He reported that the fees pay for capital facilities because they are needed due to the new development, and cannot be used to ..w repair existing infrastructure deficiencies. September 10, 2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 261 Mr.Young reported that the four general rules for creating impact fees are that the fees must be fair,that there must be a connection between the amount the development pays and the amount of impact they create, that if a development rrr. is already making a payment for the same thing the impact fee is being charged for,then the fee must be reduced, and governments must charge less than 100%of the actual costs of the impact. Mr. Young explained that a person pulling a permit for a single-family house today would pay$1,737 in impact fees, and further explained that using the current rules the City could now legally charge as much as$12,000. He stated that to stay competitive with regional markets the recommendation is to only charge one-third of the maximum allowable fee for transportation, and two- thirds of the maximum allowable fees for parks and fire protection. He stated that this still creates a considerable increase,from $1,737 to$5,000, so the recommendation also calls for no increase in 2013,and to spread-out the increase over three years starting in 2014. Mr.Young remarked that there are two alternatives if the City decides to not collect impact fees, raise taxes or reduce the level of services to residents. Correspondence was entered into the record from Garret Huffman, South King &Seattle Manager of the Master Builders Association (MBA)of King and Snohomish Counties,stating that although the MBA prefers that there be no impact fees,the association supports the proposed changes. He also requested that a portion of a King County ordinance be included in the City's ordinance. Public comment was invited. ..� Garret Huffman, Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties, remarked that he had been working on impact fees for the past nine years. He stated that the proposed fees are not outrageous, and expressed support for the changes. He added that he has requested that a portion of a King County ordinance be included in the City's ordinance. There being no further comment, it was MOVED BY ZWICKER,SECONDED BY CORMAN,COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED.

Citizen Comment:Stanwell— Helen Stanwell (Renton) requested that there be an outside investigation of the Fire Response During Renton delayed response to a house fire at 2435 Monterey Ave. NE. She stated that River Days the fire occurred on Sunday,July 29,the last day of Renton River Days, and that the fire engine and crew were participating in the event. She remarked that the response time may have been delayed because of the increased traffic due to the festival. Ms.Stanwell also commented that the fire crew missed the turn to the cul-de-sac and asked why the vehicle was not equipped with a Global Positioning System (GPS). She indicated that she had filed a complaint with the .... fire department. Mayor Law requested that Ms.Stanwell leave her contact information so that the City could investigate and respond to her concern. September 10, 2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 262 Citizen Comment: Lambert— Kal Lambert(King County)stated that members of the Renton Residents Library Construction Oversight Advocacy Coalition are skilled professionals who are willing to volunteer their time to assist the City in providing oversight on the library projects. He requested clarification regarding what he believes is a discrepancy between the interlocal agreement and with the King County Library System (KCLS) and Ordinance No. 5535 which created the Renton Library Advisory Board.

SPECIAL PRESENTATION Community Relations and Events Coordinator Sonja Mejlaender presented a Community Services: 4th of report on the City's 10th anniversary of the 4th of July celebration at Gene July Wrap-Up Coulon Memorial Beach Park. She reported that the event was made possible because of City support and the support of three significant community partners,The Landing, Sanctuary& Reserve Apartments, and Coal Creek Family YMCA. She added that the sponsors helped by offsetting 30%of actual event costs. Ms. Mejlaender also reported that entertainment at the event included the City Concert Band, a vignette from the all-teen musical production of"Guys and Dolls," contemporary folk music, and an evening dance band. She stated that there was also a 25 minute professional fireworks display positioned from a barge on Lake Washington. Ms. Mejlaender reported that this year the planning team had to deal with the timing and construction of the 520 Bridge, and figuring out how and where to load the fireworks on to the barge. She thanked members of the Fire and Emergency Services Department who were able to get approval from the Seattle Seahawks and Virginia Mason Athletic Center to ferry the fireworks to the barge from their dock. Ms. Mejlaender also noted that the team had to plan for street closure notifications on Lake Washington Blvd., and coordinating for temporary light towers to assist the 20,000 pedestrians exiting the park after the fireworks show ended. Ms. Mejlaender reported that there had been a comprehensive marketing plan for the event, and that 97%of attendees surveyed indicated they would attend the event in the future. She expressed appreciation to the many volunteers who manned information booths, set up decorations, and helped clean up the park after the event. September 17, 2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 272 Ms. Mejlaender introduced representatives from the three event sponsors. Jamie Green from Coal Creek Family YMCA stated that their organization is pleased to be a part of the event and looks forward to maintaining their partnership with the City for a long time. Judy Whitcomb and Courtney Bush from the Sanctuary& Reserve Apartments remarked that their organizations look forward to sponsoring next year's event. Rod Swift from The Landing remarked that his company will assuredly sponsor the event again next year. Mayor Law thanked the sponsors for their support and the volunteers for helping make the celebration a success. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington reviewed a written administrative report summarizing the City's recent progress towards goals and work programs adopted as part of its business plan for 2012 and beyond. Items noted include: The City of Renton's Solid Waste Utility held its Fall Recycle Event on Saturday,September 8 at Renton Technical College. Eleven volunteers donated a total of 53 hours to help run the event. Residents dropped-off 71 tons of recyclable materials and 550 gallons of hazardous waste. Residents also donated nearly 80 pounds of food for the Renton Food Bank. Community Services:Tree Urban Forestry and Natural Resources Manager Terry Flatley reported that the Replacement Program for S trees along S.3rd St. are approximately 38 years old and are causing damage to 3rd St the sidewalks and curbs. He explained that the trees were planted in aluminum culverts meant to minimize curb and sidewalk damage, but the roots are now pushing the trees upwards causing damage. He stated that in 2006 severe winds blew most of the trees off center,so an effort was made to increase the size of the tree wells and pour new sidewalk cement. He remarked, however, that after five years the trees began lifting the sidewalk panels and damaging the curbs again. Mr. Flatley reported that 23 of the 41 trees on S. 3rd St.will be removed because they are causing tripping hazards. He displayed photographs of the trees and the damaged sidewalks, and pointed out where City maintenance crews have attempted to repair the sidewalks and curbs. He stated that the new trees now have four times as much space to grow roots than the old trees. Responding to Councilmember Corman's inquiry, Mr. Flatley remarked that the hard pan surface is approximately three feet down, but will not be a problem because the new trees will be planted in a way that allows the roots to spread out. He did caution that the sidewalks may get damaged in the future, but he hopes it will be 30 ears or more before that happens. � v �r Fire: Monterey Ave NE House Fire and Emergency Services Administrator Mark Peterson reported that on Fire Response Time 9/10/2012 citizens had expressed the following concerns regarding a recent house fire: 1)the response time was too long, 2)the engine company was out of quarters, 3)there was a lack of coordination between the Police Department and the Fire and Emergency Services Department,and 4)the vehicles lack Global Positioning System (GPS)devices. ..rl September 17, 2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 273 Chief Peterson reported that the call for the house fire was received at 3:28 p.m. and that Aid vehicle 12 arrived at 3:33 p.m. and reported that the house was engulfed in flames. He reported that at 3:35 p.m. Engine 12 arrived on ir.. scene. Chief Peterson stated that this response time is well within the department's aspirational response time goal. He reported that one minute after arrival the engine crew had water on the main body of fire and a second hose line on the neighbor's house,which had also caught fire. He remarked that cause of the fire was a juvenile playing with a lighter that ignited a mattress. Chief Peterson reported that the engine was not in station quarters because they were participating in the Renton River Days event. He explained that there are many reasons why vehicles are not in quarters including heavy call volumes,training requirements,or other issues. He indicated that there had been coordination with the Police Department, but because there were no traffic issues getting to the fire,the police went back to their regular patrol districts. Chief Peterson displayed a map that highlighted home addresses and fire hydrant locations,and remarked that over-the-counter GPS devices do not offer the level of detail that the department requires when conducting firefighting operations. Chief Administrative Officer Covington remarked that the City had received the dispatch record from Valley Communications,an independent agency,which included a detailed log of events from that day. He indicated that if the response time had been outside of the City's normal response time then an independent review may have been ordered. He added that sometimes during ... a traumatic event the seconds seem longer than they actually are. AUDIENCE COMMENT Paul Ouellette (Renton)stated that he is a retired civil engineer that has Citizen Comment: Ouellette— worked in construction management for his entire career. He remarked that he Cedar River Library is very interested in reviewing the schematics for the Cedar River Library, and that he will save his comments about the library design until after he has attended the upcoming open house. Mr. Ouellette indicated that he supports the idea that the open houses should occur more than once a month. Citizen Comment: Goyt— Richard Goyt(Renton) stated that he thought the Cedar River Library was going Cedar River Library to be discussed at the 7 p.m. Council meeting not the 5:30 p.m. Committee of the Whole meeting. He remarked that he would try to attend the upcoming open house. Mr. Covington pointed out that the Committee of the Whole meeting was televised, and Mr. Goyt could call the City to find out when it would be rebroadcast. Citizen Comment:Asher— Beth Asher(Renton) remarked that she did not want to give up the two public Cedar River Library forums in exchange for monthly open houses in regards to the Cedar River Library. She also inquired as to what would happen to the input provided by the public at the open house meetings. Ms.Asher remarked that the meetings should occur more often than once a month, and should occur closer to the beginning of each month. Further, she requested that the City's website page regarding the libraries be updated more frequently. Citizen Comment: Forister— Phyllis Forister(Renton)quoted pages from the City's Urban &Community �... Tree Removal Forestry Plan dated August 2009. She stated that the City should not be placing Tree City, USA signs at its entrances because of all the trees that have been cut September 17, 2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 274 down. She remarked that if there were enough funds to remove the trees along Rainier Ave and S. 3rd St. then there should be money to remove the ivy growing in the trees near the library. Ms. Forister also remarked that in 1997 the City removed 65 mature Maple trees because limbs were falling and rrr on causing temporary closures of the Maple Valley Highway. She stated that City officials should have paid closer to the Rainier Ave. project because someone should have designed a plan around the trees instead of destroying them.

Planning & Development Committee Report re: Galloway at the Highlands Plat Permit/Impact Fees 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 retrained 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 the 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 Council to be addressed concerning pending appeals is outweighed by the quick,inexpensive and local appeal process provided by the Renton City Council. 5.

MOVED BY BRIERE, SECONDED BY 2012 PALMER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE PROCLAMATION. CARRIED. Laurel Winston and Irene Roberts accepted the proclamation on behalf of Renton Business and Professional Women. Ms. Winston stated that the organization has been in Renton for almost nine years, and its goal is to support women politically, professionally, and personally. She invited everyone to attend their next meeting on October 1.9 when they will honor the Woman of the Year and Woman of Achievement. She noted that Councilmember Terri Briere was last year's Woman of the Year. Ms. Roberts announced that this year's Woman of the Year is Sabrina Mirante and Woman of Achievement is Mary Clymer. She thanked City officials for supporting the organization. SPECIAL PRESENTATION Mayor Law expressed appreciation for the opportunity to present the biennial Executive: Mayor's budget proposal for 2013-2014. He stated that although the nation's economy Presentation of 2013/2014 shows signs of improvement and Renton remains healthy, continued steps are Biennial Budget necessary to protect the interests of Renton residents. Pointing out that government revenues lag behind the regular marketplace, Mayor Law explained that the budget proposal reflects the continued erosion of operating revenues due primarily to declining property values. He stated that over the next two years the preliminary estimates project a $5 million per year shortfall of revenues against the rising costs of doing business. October 15, 2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 305 305 Mayor Law remarked that with the help of employees and unions, he is presenting a balanced budget that meets these revenue shortfalls with minimum employee layoffs and some proposed fee increases. He announced that the total proposed two-year budget for 2013 and 2014 is$457 million, of which$202 million is in the General Fund that is used for police, fire and emergency services, parks,street repair, and other City services. Mayor Law stated that because of the City's strategic investments in economic development,commitment to reforms,and through fiscal disciplines,the City's financial situation is stable and improving. He announced that 200 new firms have located in Renton this year,and 6,000 new jobs have been created over the past two years. He remarked that commercial vacancy rates have remained significantly low compared with other cities in the Puget Sound region, and The Landing continues to add new businesses every month. Mayor Law also remarked that The Boeing Company's announcement to build the 737 MAX in Renton and their increased production to 42 planes per month for the 737 Next Generation have led to over 1,000 new jobs at the Renton plant. Mayor Law explained that despite these positive factors,the City continues to face budget challenges. He explained that property tax constitutes nearly 30% of the General Fund and property tax assessments, which lag behind the market by approximately two years, have dropped significantly. He further explained that for 2013 the assessed valuation, based on 2011 market value of homes, is projected to decline by four and a half percent. He stated that this reduces the City's property tax level by$1.9 million annually. Also, Mayor Law noted that$1.5 million in federal public safety grants that were available during �r the recession have expired and overhead costs have increased. Continuing, Mayor Law announced that once again the Community Budget Advisory Group met over a period of several weeks with department administrators and the Finance Department to examine City policies and programs, and provide valuable guidance for this proposed budget. He thanked the members and stated that the budget reflects several key priorities and suggestions for cost savings recommended by the group. Mayor Law reported that the proposed budget reduces operating costs through additional reductions in staffing, reforms to reduce medical premium costs, and increased revenue options. He explained that the reduction in workforce by 25 positions over the biennium would be achieved mostly by attrition to avoid layoffs. Giving praise to the employee unions for their help and collaboration, Mayor Law stated that medical premium costs for the city would be reduced though increased employee premium contributions. Regarding revenue options, Mayor Law stated that Renton prides itself for having some of the lowest fees in the county for the services that are offered. He stated that most of the fees have remained unchanged for many years despite the increase in cost of doing business. He remarked that this budget proposes to increase the business license fee which has not been increased since 1988,to establish new impact fees that will be phased-in beginning in 2014 for new development that will be paid for by developers, and to �.. implement a new medical transport fee. 306 October 15, 2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 306 Mayor Law emphasized that it is imperative for the City to maintain its parks and facilities, roads and utility infrastructure. He announced that the City has begun a $42 million redevelopment project on Rainier Ave.S. funded largely by state and federal grants, and has broken ground on the SW 27th St./Strander Blvd. Connection that will provide access for Renton residents to the future Sound Transit Commuter Rail Station. Mayor Law also announced that to date nearly$41 million has been invested in the Sunset Area in the Renton Highlands. Continuing, Mayor Law stated that investing in safety has been his priority, and the crime rate as measured by crimes per thousand in Renton has decreased by double digits over the last three years and is currently one of the lowest in South King County. He stated that the City is committed to finding creative ways to reduce crime, and has been effective at reducing negative impacts in several neighborhoods. He emphasized that despite reductions in staffing, police officers have successfully targeted repeat offenders and focused resources on areas experiencing high levels of criminal and dangerous activity. He noted that the City was successful in closing down a local restaurant and bar that was the site of many serious offenses and created fear for families living near it. Mayor Law also remarked that the Fire and Emergency Services Department has made sure that response time to residents has not been impacted despite reduced resources. Mayor Law explained that on November 6 residents in the West Hill area will have the opportunity to vote and choose whether they would like to annex to Renton. He remarked that the annexation poses both a challenge and an opportunity for the City. He explained that the challenge is to provide needed services with available resources, and the opportunity is to transform West Hill into a safe urban center where residents and businesses thrive. He noted that this budget proposal does not include revenues or expenditures for West Hill. Concluding, Mayor Law stated that Renton is defined by its excellent quality of life due to the great programs and services the City continues to provide despite significant personnel and budget cuts. He remarked that these services contribute to a safe, healthy, and vibrant community that offers opportunities for everyone. He thanked Council for their guidance and input, and asked for additional feedback and recommendations regarding the proposed budget. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington reviewed a written administrative report summarizing the City's recent progress towards goals and work programs adopted as part of its business plan for 2012 and beyond.

SPECIAL PRESENTATION Public Works Administrator Gregg Zimmerman introduced Barry Avali and Mike Sound Transit: Proposed Bus Bergman from Sound Transit. He explained that they will be presenting Route Changes & Longacres updates on the commuter rail station project and proposed changes to Bus Commuter Rail Station Update Routes 560 and 566. Barry Avali, project manager for the Longacres Commuter Rail Station project in Tukwila, provided an overview of the proposed changes to the station. He noted that the redesigned station will include 390 parking stalls, four electric vehicle charging stations with the capacity to add ten more in the future, a new connection to Strander Blvd., and two 600-foot platforms with bicycle lockers and storage facilities. Mr.Alavi stated that Sound Transit has been working closely with BNSF Railway,The Boeing Company, the cities of Renton and Tukwila, and other stakeholders. He explained that the project should be completed by September 2014. Mike Bergman, Sound Transit Service Planning Manager, provided an overview of the proposed changes to Bus Routes 560 and 566 for 2013. He explained that the Sound Transit Board established Snohomish County, North King County, South King County, East King County (which includes Renton), and Pierce County as regional subareas in 1996 to provide geographic equity in allocating transit resources while still allowing a mechanism to develop a system with regional benefits. He further explained that separate cost revenue statements for each subarea were developed based on the revenue each one generates and the projects it receives. 316 October 22, 2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 316 Mr. Bergman reported that the subarea equity policy dictates that bus route operating costs are shared based on the percentage of vehicle hours operated in each area. He explained that East King County contributes 56%of the costs and South King County contributes 44%of the costs for Route 560, and the split for Route 566 is 69%East King County and 31%South King County. Continuing, Mr. Bergman reported that in 2008 voters approved expanded rail service between Seattle,Tacoma, and Lakewood. He noted that implementation has been delayed due to the recession, but new trains should be running by next fall with additional trains running in 2015 and 2017. He also reported that Sound Transit has been working closely with King County METRO to accommodate expanded bus service at the Tukwila rail station. He stated that the 2008 plan also included a large capital program that extends light rail to the northeast and southern parts of the region. Mr. Bergman explained that the recession made it impossible to complete all of these projects within the 15-year timeframe so a revised schedule was implemented in 2011. He stated that this new schedule suspended or delayed some elements of the plan, reduced administrative costs and contingencies,and made efficiencies in transit operations. Mr. Bergman displayed a graph indicating that until now total bus hours have expanded to accommodate increased ridership on the ST Express route network. He stated that the agency's dilemma is that total vehicle hours have been fixed at 700,000 per year for 2013 and the next several years as a cost- saving mechanism. He explained that although services will not be cut,the agency must find creative ways to reduce serious passenger overloads on the existing routes. He reported that the proposal is to reduce midday service on Route 566 so that the vehicle hours can be applied during peak-period times for Routes 545, 550, and 577. Responding to Council inquiries, Mr. Bergman confirmed that Route 566 has the lowest midday ridership of all the ST Express routes, and explained that the agency is suggesting that midday service be reduced in order to apply the resources to the more heavily used peak-period routes. Councilmember Corman remarked that he believes the midday service is a necessary component of the peak service. He explained that residents occasionally need a guarantee that they can find transportation home during the middle of the day to attend an appointment or pick up a child from school. He expressed concern that removing or reducing the midday service would affect the total ridership of the route's peak service. Continuing, Mr. Bergman reported that one theme heard from the Sounder Station Access Study was that the travel time on Route 566 from the south end to Bellevue was excessive. He stated that because half of the passengers traveling to Bellevue originate in Kent and Auburn or points farther south the route could be restructured into two routes. He explained that a proposed new Route 567 could make fewer stops for long-haul passengers, and Route 566 could continue to connect all of the communities along the corridor. He further explained that ridership during peak periods would increase as commuters are more likely to use transit when travel times are competitive. 317 October 22, 2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 317 Mr. Bergman reported that the proposal is to reduce the run times for Route 566 from every seven to 15 minutes to 15 to 30 minute intervals and establish a gap in midday service from 10:30 a.m.to 1 p.m. He pointed out that the r.. proposal is to only reduce midday service because of the low ridership and not to shut it down. He added that commuters could use Route 560 during this time period to make the connection between Renton and Bellevue. Addressing the equity issue, Councilmember Persson remarked that he believes there is a double standard in the.way riders are accounted for in Renton. He also commented that Renton taxpayers are not getting adequate bus service for the nearly$22 million a year they provide to the agency. In summary, Mr. Bergman reported that the proposal calls for a new Route 567 that will provide a much faster trip from the south end to Bellevue,and reduced midday service on Route 566 so those vehicle hours can be applied to the peak service trips on Routes 545, 550, and 577. He explained that these changes are expected to help sustain Routes 560 and 566 overtime by increasing total ridership on the corridor, and are consistent with the subarea equity policy because the same number of dollars and vehicle hours will remain within each subarea. Mayor Law thanked Mr. Bergman for his report. He remarked that Renton residents and businesses spend a lot of money for Sound Transit and it is disheartening to see that cuts are being proposed. He stated that establishing the new Route 567 may be a good plan for Sound Transit but it does little for Renton citizens. He remarked that bus access is limited in Renton and asked if am the fact that Sound Transit built new parking garages in Federal Way, Redmond, Issaquah, and Sammamish increased ridership in those areas. Mr. Bergman responded that the new garages certainly helped to increase ridership. He added that in those areas the park and rides were completely full so new ways to access service had to be developed. He also noted that King County METRO restructured their service to better connect with Sound Transit service which has provided additional growth in those areas. Councilmember Persson asked Mr. Bergman how someone could take Sound Transit services from Renton to Seattle. Mr. Bergman explained that he would use Route 560 to Bellevue and connect with Route 550 from there to Seattle. He acknowledged that a person would have to use King County METRO service to get from Renton to Seattle via the 1-5 corridor. Councilmember Corman remarked that it is easier for someone in Kent to get to Bellevue, and that the route to Seattle from Renton involves transfers and delays. He hypothesized that after paying almost$22 million a year for nearly 20 years Renton taxpayers have paid close to a half a billion dollars to Sound Transit. He shared stories of how his children have tried unsuccessfully to utilize Sound Transit services to get to Bellevue College,the University of Washington, and other regional destinations over the last few years. r.r 318 October 22, 2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 318 Continuing, Mr. Corman remarked that residents of North Bend and communities farther east probably do not pay for the services they are using that are paid for by Renton taxpayers. He stated that Renton needs to see services boosted and not reduced, and added that commuters will just become frustrated if they go through the trouble of navigating bus transfers and connections to find they may not have a ride home when they need it. Councilmember Palmer echoed Mr. Corman's concerns. She stated that Sound Transit has indicated that there are 600 daily boardings in Renton on Route 566 and that ridership will increase, but is still suggesting that service be reduced. She expressed frustration at how little service is being provided to Renton residents. Councilmember Taylor remarked that he would like to see Sound Transit's subarea equity policy take into consideration Renton's concerns. He emphasized that people utilizing the bus service oftentimes cannot afford to buy their own transportation,work outside the communities they live in, and need the guarantee of midday service in case of medical appointments or picking up children on time from daycare. Chief Administrative Officer Covington stated that after 15 years there have been no Sound Transit projects developed in Renton. He stated that Sound Transit has received between$285 and $315 million during those 15 years, and remarked that the City could have purchased limo service for every Renton resident that needed bus service for that amount of money. Mr. Covington stated that the City is frustrated for having to wait for service that appears to be even somewhat equitable for its residents. Council President Zwicker stated that he also is frustrated by the lack of service compared to the amount of money paid to Sound Transit by Renton taxpayers. He remarked that he believes the City is reaching a point where there needs to be discussions on how to separate from a regional system that provides little benefit in comparison to the large of amounts of money being contributed to it. Mr.Zwicker also stated that Sound Transit needs to assure the City that they understand these frustrations and are willing to work on ways to solve them. Mr.Corman added that instead of looking at ways to cut services on low- ridership routes, Sound Transit should be looking at ways to increase the ridership levels. He suggested adding a route that goes from Renton straight to Seattle or straight to the University District. Mr. Persson added that at a presentation at an Eastside Transportation Partnership (ETP) meeting Sound Transit talked about the number of riders from Lakewood disembarking in Kent. He expressed frustration that it appears the agency is more concerned with riders who live outside of the Renton area than with Renton citizens. Mayor Law thanked Mr. Bergman again for providing the report. He stated that the concerns expressed by Council and the administration need to be shared with the Sound Transit Board. He also remarked that Renton would like to see' a couple of multi-story parking garages and additional bus access provided to Renton residents. October 22, 2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 319 319 PUBLIC HEARING: This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Fire: 2012 Comprehensive accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Law opened the public hearing to Emergency Management Plan consider the 2012 Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP). Emergency Management Director Deborah Needham reported that adoption of a City Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan is required in order to receive Emergency Management Performance Grant funds from the Washington State Military Department each year. She explained that the funds, approximately$104,000 per year, are significant and are vital to implementing the City's emergency management program. Ms. Needham reported that the CEMP must be updated every four years and was last approved for 2009. She stated that every City department has had a part in updating the plan, and that one improvement was incorporating feedback received from outside agencies. Ms. Needham reviewed the structure of the plan and outlined the minor revisions, which included department name changes, phone number updates, meeting location changes,and references to local and regional emergency management plans. She also noted that several new portions were added to the plan including Damage Assessment, Evacuation, and Terrorism and Civil Disturbance annexes. Ms. Needham reported that some of the significant revisions included changes in the public health medical services Emergency Support Function (ESF), referencing the newly adopted City of Renton Disaster Recovery Plan, and including more involvement with the Community and Economic Development Department. Concluding, Ms. Needham requested that Council wait until their next meeting to adopt the plan in order to provide time to incorporate any new public testimony.

She explained that her mother will be an 11-year pancreatic cancer survivor next February, and she expressed hope that a cure will be found for this terrible disease. ADDED Dave Christensen, Wastewater Utility Engineering Supervisor, presented an SPECIAL PRESENTATION overview of the proposed increases to utility system development charges and Budget: 2013/2014 public works construction permit fees for 2013 and 2014. He explained that Department Presentations the fees were last updated in 2008, and at that time the City changed how the fees were calculated. Mr. Christensen further explained that the City moved w away from a system based on a square footage charge to a system based on a sewer and water meter charge. 328 November 5, 2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 328 Mr. Christensen remarked that staff is recommending that proposed increases be phased in over a two-year period. He reported that the City has recalculated the fees to better capture what it actually costs to deliver services to the public. He stated that the fee increases also capture the costs of the new Automatic Meter Reading(AMR)system. He stated that the City is recommending that the fee for 5/8 inch by 3/4 inch meters and one inch meters be made the same in order to encourage developers to install one inch meters instead of the smaller meters. He explained that the size of modern single-family homes and changing fire codes are frequently triggering requirements to install the larger meters. Mr.Christensen reported that the City is recommending eliminating wastewater/groundwater discharge permit fees to reflect changing King County Wastewater Treatment Division rules. He also stated that a specific side sewer right-of-way permit fee is being recommended in order to reduce confusion about other right-of-way fees. Concluding, Mr. Christensen stated that the proposal is to increase system development charges approximately 12 percent per year for the two-year period. He noted that the installation of one inch meters instead of the smaller meters results in an increase of 18 percent in 2013 and 15 percent in 2014. He pointed out that even with the increases, Renton fees will be the second lowest in 2013 and third lowest in 2014 compared to neighboring agencies. Responding to Council inquiries, Mr. Christensen confirmed that these fees are one-time fees for construction when services are established, and are sometimes referred to as connection charges. Mr. Christensen explained that the City currently reads a customer's meter every two months. He remarked that the new system provides a way to monitor and notify customers of leaks much more quickly than has been done in the past. He also remarked that the transition to convert everyone to the new system will take between six and seven years. Preeti Shridhar, Deputy Public Affairs Administrator, provided an overview of the legislative department's budget. She explained that the department is comprised of seven Councilmembers and a Council Liaison. She reported that Council is responsible for assessing the needs of the public, developing and adopting annual budgets,ordinances, resolutions, and setting policies. Ms. Shridhar reported that the majority of the department's budget covers the salary and benefits of the Council Liaison and the Councilmembers. She pointed out that the legislative department has made a concerted effort to reduce expenditures. Concluding, Ms.Shridhar remarked that one important way to measure the performance of the legislative department is determining if the community believes the City is heading in the right direction. She stated that surveys addressing this performance measure have been conducted, and the goal for the 2013/2014 biennium is for 80%of the community to reflect this opinion. She also noted that Councilmembers,through their participation on local and regional boards, are able to leverage outside-agency support in order to bring important services back to the community. "'r November 5, 2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 329 329 PUBLIC HEARING: This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Budget: 2013/2014 Revenue accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Law opened the public hearing to Sources& Preliminary Budget consider the 2013/2014 Revenue Sources and Preliminary Budget. WMW Administrative Services Administrator Iwen Wang reported that the total combined funds for the 2013/2014 biennium are$462.6 million, and expenditures are$457.3 million. She stated that approximately one third of City-wide resources are from taxes,one third are from service charges that include utility rates and fees paid for services, and one third are from interfund and intergovernmental support. She explained that internal services provided to City departments create interfund charges, and all cities in Washington State receive intergovernmental support by way of receiving a portion of certain taxes collected at the state level. Ms.Wang reported that expenditures over the biennium include approximately $290 million for operating expenses, $75 million for capital projects,$26 million for debt services, and $60 million for interfund transfers. She stated that the City breaks the budget down by service areas which include Safety and Health, Livable Communities, Mobility, Utilities and Environment, and Internal Support. She remarked that the City currently has 667 full-time employees with nearly half working in the Safety and Health service area. She also reported that the cost to do City business per person is approximately$1,600 per year, of which $629 is for safety and health services. Ms. Wang reported that most of the budget challenges faced during the biennium effect the general governmental fund. She stated that this fund is supported primarily by tax dollars and is used for providing quality of life and safety and health services. She stated that the expenditures for this fund are $202.4 million over the biennium which breaks down to$185 million for operating services and $16 million for debt service. She reported that this fund also supports 586 full-time employees in 2013 which will be reduced to 584 in 2014. Ms.Wang reported that the cost of City business per person from the general governmental fund is approximately$1,061, and reiterated that safety and health services are the largest cost from this fund. She noted that salaries, wages, and benefits equate to nearly 70 percent of the total fund and for that reason it is difficult not to look at these types of costs when considering budget reductions. She also noted that debt service is about eight percent of the fund, and other miscellaneous services equal about seven percent. Ms.Wang cited several examples of miscellaneous services including operating street lights at $1 million per year, maintaining City facilities at approximately$1 million per year, and 9-1-1 services that cost the City$23 every time someone reports an emergency. Continuing, Ms. Wang reported the three goals the City had when attempting to bridge the$5 million per year funding gap as, 1) minimizing service impacts to the community, 2) minimizing staff lay-offs, and 3) beginning to build a more sustainable budget which includes adding capacity to fund major maintenance and capital improvements that have been deferred over the last few years. 330 November 5,2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 330 Ms.Wang reported that the City bridged this budget gap because revenue sources improved by$1 million, and by working with City unions to reduce City costs by$4 million. She explained that the City changed how medical premium increases are captured in order to save about$1 million in 2013 and more in 2014, and will be using the medical fund balance to pay some costs. Ms. Wang reported that the City's population is nearly 94,000 and there are 47,000 workers in Renton. She remarked that Renton generates nearly$200 million in sales tax but only receives about ten percent of the proceeds. She also noted that the City only receives 23 cents on the dollar for property tax. Concluding, Ms.Wang reported that one reason the 2013 budget gap is so large is because the property tax rate is capped at$3.10 by State law. She explained that the 2012 property tax levy generated $34,444,181, but because of the cap only$32,600,043 was allowed to be collected. She remarked that this loss of $1,844,138 of revenue affected the budget, and this trend will continue until property values increase. She also pointed out that the City has made substantial cuts over last four years including a total of$33 million in budget cuts, and laying off 108 employees. Responding to Councilmember Corman's inquiry, Ms.Wang stated that the figures for the library had not been included in the budget in any type of historical context. Mr. Covington added that the library figures are reflected in j the 2010 and newer budgets. Public comment was invited. i Rich Brooks (Seattle), Executive Director for Renton Area Youth and Family Services(RAYS), stated that his organization has historically been funded at $45,000 and the current recommendation is to reduce the funding to$20,000. He urged Council to consider changing this allocation to$30,000. He remarked that he believes this budget reduction is out of proportion with the organization's history of delivering services to local at-risk youth. Mr. Brooks remarked that RAYS works to ensure families are healthier, and to keep youth in schools and out of the criminal justice system. He also stated that he believes that RAYS funding was reduced in order to allocate smaller amounts of money to more organizations. Kylie Fisher(Auburn), RAYS Life Coach at Lindbergh and Renton High Schools, stated that she works with students through the Spark This program in order to enhance student academics and influence their behavioral growth. Michael Rosier II (Renton)stated that he is in his fourth year of participating in the RAYS program. He remarked that the program has helped him academically and emotionally.

She remarked that the Alliance of People with Disabilities Nm provides independent living services to people with disabilities in King County. She explained that the service teaches strategies to disabled citizens so they can go back to work and keep their homes. She pointed out that 80%of the organization's employees, including her, are disabled. Gary Sampson (Newcastle), Board President of RAYS, stated that RAYS has been serving the Renton community for 40 years. He remarked that maintaining or increasing the organization's funding allocation would be appreciated. Mr. Sampson remarked that by funding RAYS the City is making a strategic investment in Renton by supporting an organization that services at-risk middle school and high school students by keeping them in school and out of the criminal justice system. He also noted that RAYS utilizes volunteers for maintaining and enhancing their facilities so that the dollars allocated to them from Renton can be applied directly to the services provided to students. Mark Pursly(Renton), representing the Greater Maple Valley Community Center, expressed appreciation for the funding allocation recommendation for the Date Wise program. He remarked that the program began in Renton in 1994 and then was moved and successfully operated in the Tahoma School District for 14 years. He announced that the program is back in the Renton School District serving approximately 250 students at Lindbergh High School.

November 19, 2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 341 Ms. Dale Estey reported that 25 teams entered the competition, and 17 of the teams finished and submitted their films on time.

AUDIENCE COMMENT Mark dos Remedios (Federal Way), President of Renton Firefighters Union Local Citizen Comment: dos 864, expressed concern regarding the proposal to charge a fee for transporting Remedios—Proposed Fire & patients in the 2013/2014 biennial budget. He stated that he believes figures Emergency Services presented to Council have been misleading because there is only one Aid Car in Department Fee for Transport service within City limits, and it transported patients less than 600 times in the past two years. Mr. dos Remedios explained that if the fee were implemented with a 40% collection rate it would generate less than$140,000 per year. He pointed out that neighboring agencies rarely collect over 30%of the total fees charged. Mr. dos Remedios stated that firefighters' highest priority is safety, and people's safety could be jeopardized if someone hesitated to call 9-1-1 because of a perceived financial consequence. Mr. dos Remedios also remarked that the Fire Department's purpose is not to generate revenue, but to provide safety to the public. Citizen Comment: Lombard— Suzann Lombard (King County) stated that she worked tirelessly to convince West Hill Annexation people in the West Hill area to vote yes on annexation to Renton. She thanked City officials for allowing area residents to vote on the issue, and remarked that she believed the measure failed because people did not have enough information. She urged Council to allow West Hill to remain in the City's Potential Annexation Area (PAA). Responding to Councilmember Palmer's inquiry, Mayor Law stated that there is still an opportunity to take advantage of the State sales tax credit if another annexation petition is commenced prior to 2015. Mr. Covington added that there had been three credits available to the City at one time. He explained that one of the credits has been implemented, one has expired, and the City is still eligible for the last credit if an annexation with a population over 10,000 is commenced prior to 2015. November 19, 2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 342 Citizen Comment:White— John White (Bellevue) expressed concern with Docket#D-91 entitled Accessory Title IV Docket#8,Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) Review. He stated that the docket item originally limited Dwelling Unit Review D-91 ADUs to 50%of the size of the primary dwelling. He remarked that he missed an opportunity to provide oral comments (to the Planning Commission), but was able to provide written comment expressing his concern that this was too restrictive. Mr. White explained that at a subsequent meeting the restriction was increased to 75%of the size of the primary dwelling, however, a new restriction limiting the height of the ADU to the height of the primary building had been added. He stated that there had not been adequate time allowed for public comment for this new restriction. He requested that Council remand Docket#D-91 back to the Planning Commission to allow for additional public comment. Citizen Comment: Ferguson— Dian Ferguson (King County)stated that she had worked on the pro-West Hill West Hill Annexation annexation committee, and is a member of the West Hill Business Association. She expressed appreciation to City officials and staff for allowing residents the opportunity to vote on annexation to Renton. Ms. Ferguson stated that many residents had to be educated about where they lived, noting that many believed they lived in Seattle city limits when in fact they are in unincorporated King County. She also noted that there was a lot of misinformation floating around as to whether or not Renton wanted to annex the area. Ms. Ferguson urged Council to allow the West Hill area to remain in the City's Potential Annexation Area (PAA). She remarked that she believes there will be economic opportunities for the City if the area is annexed. She stated that now that residents are more educated about where they live,they will be more likely to vote in favor of annexation in the future. Mayor Law remarked that Council has had no discussions about removing West Hill from the City's PAA.

She remarked that she believes the benefits of fluoridating water outweigh the risks. Dr. Richter also remarked that she prescribes fluoride to patients who live in areas who do not have fluoridated water. November 26, 2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 353 353 Citizen Comment: Adams— Audrey Adams (Renton) stated that she was disappointed with the earlier Water Fluoridation Committee of the Whole meeting because she did not believe that equal time had been given to the anti-fluoridation group. She stated that Dr. Osmunson was the only person allowed to speak against fluoridation while four people were allowed to speak in favor of the issue. She questioned whether a Chief Dental Officer was qualified to have the expertise to determine the systemic effects to long-term exposure to fluoride. Ms.Adams asked that the pro- fluoride group provide Council references to the 3,000 studies they mentioned in their presentation. Citizen Comment: Peters— Olemara Peters (Redmond) shared her experiences to food allergies and other Water Fluoridation intolerances, and stated that she had lost the use of 90%of the kinds of food she could eat. She remarked that she must avoid fluoridated water and foods prepared with it, and noted that regular water filters do not remove fluoride from water. Citizen Comment:John— David John, M.D. (Mercer Island) remarked that Council is left with a choice Water Fluoridation regarding water fluoridation after hearing both sides of the issue. He shared his experiences working in research and urged Council to ask the pro-fluoride group to produce just one of the 3,000 reports they mentioned so it could be reviewed. Dr.John stated that New Hampshire requires annual public notification to communities that fluoridate their water, and the Center for Disease Control has recommended that fluoride not be given to babies. Citizen Comment: White— John White (Bellevue) expressed concern regarding the potential impacts of the Title IV(Development height restriction of Docket#D-91 regarding Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). Regulations) Docket#D-91, He stated that current code allows ADUs to be up to 30 feet in height, and the Accessory Dwelling Units proposed change limits the height of the ADU to the height of the primary Review dwelling. Mr. White remarked that he would prefer the limit to be no more than five feet nine and a half inches taller than the primary building. He explained that this number is half the allowable height for a one-story building as defined by the International Residential Code. He presented two potential scenarios under the proposed code that would not mathematically allow an ADU to have the same roofline height as the primary dwelling. MOVED BY CORMAN, SECONDED BY BRIERE, COUNCIL ALLOW THE SPEAKER THREE ADDITIONAL MINUTES TO CONCLUDE HIS COMMENTS. CARRIED. Concluding, Mr. White urged Council to review his proposal to allow the additional five feet nine and a half inches of height. Referring to the previous examples he presented, Mr. White stated that a person standing on the street would not notice the difference in rooflines. Councilmember Corman stated that Mr. White had made some good points, but the docket was very close to being approved. Councilmember Prince added that Mr. White could apply for an administrative variance for his project. Mr. White acknowledged that a variance could work, but the$1,200 cost to a homeowner could be avoided by tweaking the code amendment as he has proposed. 354 November 26, 2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 354 Citizen Comment: Larkin- Alli Larkin (Des Moines),Vice-President of Washington Action for Safe Water Water Fluoridation and Board President of King County Water District#54,explained that there are a large number of senior citizens in her district,and she is concerned about the effects fluoride will have on their prescription medications. She also remarked that it is time to review this 60-year old public policy. Councilmember Corman stated that he reviewed a study conducted in 2006 that summarized the 3,000 studies mentioned by several of the speakers. He noted that the 2006 study would throw out the notion that King County's lower rates of tooth decay are directly related to higher amounts of fluoridated water because this could be caused by any number of reasons. He also stated that if this is a medical decision then it should be made by individuals and not by a City Council.

MOVED BY ZWICKER, SECONDED BY BRIERE, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT.* Councilmember Palmer suggested removing the Basic Life Support Transport User Fee. She stated that she believes it is not worth adopting the fee because of the low revenue forecast and the confusion it may create among residents. She explained that some citizens will have to pay the fee and some do not depending on where they live. Ms. Palmer also stated that she also believes this may jeopardize the upcoming emergency medical services levy election, plus the firefighter union opposes the fee. Councilmember Corman stated that Council owes the firefighters a discussion on the topic, and must find a way to balance the budget. He remarked that he sees two options, 1) adopt the budget and look for a mechanism to find ways to remove the fee at a later date, or 2) make$350,000 in budget cuts that will most likely come from reductions in personnel. Responding to Councilmember Palmer's inquiry, Administrative Services Department Administrator Wang stated that a private firm handles collection of the fees, and deducts$21 from each account. She remarked that the revenue projection includes the deductions. Councilmember Persson stated that without this fee there will be a $350,000 loss to the budget, and most likely any reductions in staff would come from the fire department. He remarked that he supports leaving the fee in the budget. 358 November 26,2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 358 Councilmember Taylor remarked that this is a tough decision, but he supports a balanced budget. He added that he understands the union's concerns, but he believes the proposed fee is the right option at this time. Council President Zwicker stated that the City must have a balanced budget, and if this fee is not adopted it will create a gap somewhere else. He remarked that he understands that citizens may be hesitant to call 9-1-1 because of perceived financial impacts, but this concern could be countered through a public information campaign. Councilmember Prince stated that he has had conversations with the union and he understands their concerns. He remarked that filling the budget gap by reducing staff or services would be hard to do because the City is already running as efficiently as possible. Councilmember Briere remarked that the topic has come up before, and there is no guarantee on how much money will be recovered, but she believes there is no other way to achieve a balanced budget. *MOTION CARRIED.

NOES: PALMER. *MOTION CARRIED. Councilmember Corman requested more information regarding the history of the City's use of Aid cars in response to Ms. Larson's comments made earlier in the meeting. Mayor Law stated that the City has at least one Aid car in service every day, and it may now be utilized for patient transports when available. He also noted that engine companies have always responded to aid calls, and the City has never had just Aid cars responding to medical calls. Chief Administrative Officer Covington remarked that he could not recall when the original vote for the Medic One levy had occurred,and praised the system as probably the best in the country. He explained that City firefighters are trained in basic life support functions and those closest to an incident are the first to respond regardless of what type of vehicle they are in. He further explained that since the inception of the program people who needed to be iti.. transported have been transported by private ambulance companies that bill patients whether they have insurance or not. 372 December 3, 2012 Renton City Council Minutes Page 372 Mr. Covington stated that approval of the transport fee does not change the way the City delivers service. He remarked that when it is quicker for the City to transport a patient,which only occurred eight percent of the time in 2011, fire department personnel will make the transport. He explained that there are only limited reasons why this might occur, and emphasized that the majority of the time people who need to be transported will continue to be transported as they have been in the past. Mr. Covington stated that the City will now bill the patient's insurance company in the rare instance they are transported by the City. He added that if a person does not have insurance they will not be billed for the transport. Mr. Covington emphasized that beginning September 1, 2013,citizens will not see a change in the way services are delivered. He also pointed out that this issue should not be confused with the recent issue of modifying department shifts due to illnesses and injuries within the fire department.

SPECIAL PRESENTATION Deputy Public Works Administrator—Transportation Doug Jacobson reported Transportation: WSDOT—1-90 that the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) is preparing Tolling Briefing an environmental assessment to evaluate the impacts of tolling the 1-90 corridor between 1-5 and 1-405. He introduced Colleen Gant from WSDOT. Ms. Gant stated that WSDOT is soliciting comments until February 22, 2013 from cities located near 1-90 in order to create the parameters of the .. environmental assessment study. She invited Council to participate in the Executive Advisory Group, noting that the first meeting is scheduled for March 7, 2013. She also clarified that the study will not be a typical assessment because WSDOT will be looking at environmental justice issues such as fairness and adverse impacts on communities rather than wetlands or water quality matters. Ms. Gant reported that the State considers both 1-90 and SR 520 a single cross- lake corridor because they act as one unit for crossing the lake. She remarked that this idea established the foundation for considering tolling 1-90 to help meet funding gaps in the SR 520 bridge replacement project. Ms. Gant explained that even after cost reduction measures were taken into account, there is a projected $1.4 billion gap in construction funding. She further explained that the legislative work group assigned to this project determined that if there was still a funding gap after all federal and state funding resources were exhausted, then tolling 1-90 should begin no sooner than 2014. Ms. Gant reported that the SR 520 bridge has been tolled for a year now and revenues are meeting forecasts. She noted, however, that the tolls were meant to fill approximately$1 billion of the total project budget, and were not meant to bridge the$1.4 billion funding gap. She also noted that traffic patterns have shifted as projected, and transit service in the region is up 25% since the tolls were established. Ms. Gant added that tolling the 1-90 corridor is not a new idea, and has been considered since 2006 as a way to subsidize the SR 520 bridge replacement project. 30 February 4, 2013 Renton City Council Minutes Page 30 Concluding, Ms.Gant provided an overview of current tolls in the State, including the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, the SR 167 HOT lanes, and the SR 520 bridge. She stated that the 1-405 dual express toll lanes being constructed on the north end,the Columbia River crossing, and the SR 99 tunnel have all been authorized to have tolls, and the State is considering tolling the 1-90 bridge, the SR 509 extension,the SR 167 extension, and potentially portions of the 1-5 corridor. Responding to Council inquiries, Ms. Gant acknowledged that there could be increases in traffic along SR 900 and in downtown Renton due to the tolling of I- 90. She added that the degree of impact would not be estimated until the environmental assessment study was completed. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington reviewed a written administrative report summarizing the City's recent progress towards goals and work programs adopted as part of its business plan for 2012 and beyond. One item noted was: To foster strong and healthy neighborhoods,the City of Renton announces the Neighborhood Project Grant Program for 2013. The grants are available to organized neighborhood associations with defined boundaries in the City of Renton that have been officially recognized by the City. Eligible projects include physical improvements that build or enhance a feature of the neighborhood or benefit the general public. The grants range from $3,000 to$5,000 per project, with the actual amount based on a project's merit as determined by the Renton City Council after considering the recommendation of a staff-level interdepartmental team. Applications are available on the City's website at www.rentonwa.gov, and are due by 5 p.m. on Friday, March 8, 2013. The City of Renton Neighborhood Program will host the 9th annual "Neighbor to Neighbor" forum on Saturday, February 9 from 8 to 11:30 a.m. at the Renton Senior Activity Center, located at 211 Burnett Ave. N. All who are interested in their community are welcome to attend. For questions and to RSVP please contact the City at 425-430-6595. AUDIENCE COMMENT Judy Tabak (Renton) suggested that Council view a video regarding fluoride on Citizen Comment:Tabak— the website,fluorideactionnetworktv.com. She remarked that experts cited in Water Fluoridation the book, "The Case Against Fluoride," speak about the issue in the video. She stated that the cities of Santa Fe,Albuquerque, and Wichita Falls have all ended the practice of adding fluoride to their water supplies. Ms.Tabak also displayed two tubes of toothpaste, one containing fluoride and one that did not, and read the warning label from the tube that contained fluoride. Citizen Comment: Martinez— Mark Martinez(Renton) expressed concern regarding the crosswalk on Duvall Poorly Lit Crosswalk on Duvall Ave. NE near Hazen High School. He explained that there is no stop light at the Ave NE &Water Fluoridation crosswalk,just lights in the road that are activated when someone pushes the button to cross. He stated that it is difficult to see the high school kids early in the morning when he is driving to work, and requested that the City consider installing a traffic light at this location. Additionally, Mr. Martinez stated that he believes the City's spends approximately$60,000 to fluoridate the water. He explained that this estimate includes the cost of the fluoride and other costs associated with adding it to the 31 February 4, 2013 Renton City Council Minutes Page 31 water supply. Mr. Martinez remarked that in his opinion the funds would be better spent supplementing the salary of an additional firefighter or police officer. Citizen Comment:Adams— Audrey Adams (Renton) remarked that both requests she has submitted asking Water Fluoridation & Renton that the City independently test the sodium fluoride added to the City's water Heart Month supply have been denied. She stated that if the City gave her a sample of the sodium fluoride she would pay to have it tested. Ms.Adams also stated that the warnings on the sodium fluoride bags state that the product is harmful if swallowed and is for industrial use only. Additionally, Ms.Adams shared a personal story of the recent loss of her sister- in-law and of her brother's triple heart bypass surgery. She stated that an issue unique to her brother was that he had calcified plaque in his arteries. She explained that both her brother and sister-in-law had been on fluoridated water for over 30 years, and after doing research on the internet, she had found studies that concluded that increased fluoride uptake in coronary arteries may be associated with an increased cardiovascular risk. Citizen Comment: Greene Jeanie Greene Crooke (Renton) stated that Ms.Adams had enlightened her on Crooke—Water Fluoridation the subject of water fluoridation. She expressed concern about fluoride's effect on the health of young children. She remarked that she would prefer to have fluoride taken out of the City's water supply.

He remarked that 52 communities in British Columbia have asked Population that a moratorium be placed on the installation of smart meters pending further investigation of this phenomenon. He stated that the City has plans to install as many as 18,000 meters and each meter transmits four radio signals a day at a frequency of 900 Megahertz. Mr. Ouellette explained that this is a very high frequency that affects small birds and animals. MOVED BY PRINCE, SECONDED BY ZWICKER, COUNCIL REFER THE TOPIC OF THE ALLEGED EFFECT OF WATERLINE SMART METERS ON THE BIRD POPULATION TO THE UTILITIES COMMITTEE. CARRIED. Citizen Comment:Tabak— Judy Tabak (Renton) repeated her request from last week that Council peruse Water Fluoridation the website,fluorideactionnetworktv.com. She read a list of European countries that do not fluoridate their water, and a list of American cities that have either recently stopped adding fluoride or voted to not add fluoride to their water supplies. She remarked that she and other residents are waiting for Council to take action on this issue. 38 February 11, 2013 Renton City Council Minutes Page 38 Citizen Comment: Lawless— Lee Lawless(Renton) stated that property owners in his neighborhood are Property Easement Dispute having an easement dispute with one homeowner in the Shamrock annexation area. He explained that a homeowner blocked access to a SO-year old access easement. Mayor Law clarified that the easement in question may have been granted by King County prior to the area being annexed to the City. He stated that Fire and Public Works personnel have studied the issue and determined that the blocked route poses no direct safety issue. Mayor Law also remarked that staff has determined that this is a civil issue and not something the City can resolve. Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington added that staff is still determining whether this was in fact a public easement or an agreement developed between the property owners. Mr. Covington also stated that the City is working with the property owner believed to have blocked the road; however, the City has no intention at this time to establish a public right-of-way at this location. MOVED BY ZWICKER,SECONDED BY PRINCE,COUNCIL REFER THIS ISSUE OF PROPERTY EASEMENT RIGHTS TO THE ADMINISTRATION. CARRIED. Council President Corman encouraged Mr. Lawless to seek legal advice and not wait for the City to resolve the issue. Citizen Comment:Adams— Audrey Adams (Renton) stated that her request to have the sodium fluoride the Water Fluoridation City adds to the water supply independently tested was still outstanding. She expressed concern that adding sodium fluoride to the water supply would harm the City's water aquifer. Ms.Adams also remarked that the sodium fluoride bags state that the product is to be used for industrial purposes only,and asked Council what the term industrial means to them. Mayor Law stated that the Administration has previously presented both sides of this issue to Council,and that the City is not in a position to research or argue the validity of whether fluoride is right for all people. He added that he is aware the topic is controversial; however,the City relies on outside government agencies like the King County Public Health Department and the Center for Disease Control to provide advice concerning matters of public health. He also expressed concern that weekly one-sided testimony could potentially be misleading to the public,or could be viewed as a strong assertion that the City is doing something wrong. He invited Utility Systems Director Lys Hornsby to provide Council with an update on this issue. Ms. Hornsby asserted that the study referenced by the citizen,suggesting that children in high-fluoride areas have lower IQs than children in low-fluoride areas,was actually referring to areas where fluoride was found in strengths of ten milligrams per liter of water. She reported that Renton only adds 0.8 milligrams of fluoride per liter of water;which is considered optimum for preventing tooth decay. She stated that scientists conducting the study admitted that it did not apply to water fluoridation as it is used in the United States. i 1 February 11, 2013 Renton City Council Minutes Page 39 39 Ms. Hornsby also asserted that a study regarding heart health and fluoride mentioned by the citizen at a previous Council meeting was referring to the use of radioactive fluoride 18(18F)that is commonly administered in PET(Positron �r.. Emission Tomography)scans to detect arterial sclerosis; and was not referring to heart damage from fluoridated water. She remarked that federal agencies responsible for researching heart health and fluoride have found no link between fluoridated water and heart disease. Ms. Hornsby explained that there is no reason for the City to independently test the sodium fluoride because it is being used for its intended purpose. She explained that all Material Data Safety Sheets have disclaimers stating that the manufacturer does not warranty a product that is not used correctly. She also pointed out that the sodium fluoride, regardless of its country of origin, must meet the United States Environmental Protection Agency's"Standard 60" regulations. She added that in addition to meeting the standards,fluoride manufactures are also subject to on-site inspections and spot inspections. Ms. Hornsby stated that it would be very expensive for European cities to fluoridate their water supplies because they are served by thousands of small water systems. She explained that Europeans use fluoridated salt and milk as ways to add fluoride to their populations. Ms. Hornsby also remarked that although a few American cities are opting out of adding or reaffirming the use of fluoride, more cities continue to add or reaffirm its use than not. Chief Administrative Officer Covington emphasized that the City certainly wants to allow people the opportunity to speak to Council, but there comes a point in time when the things that are being said can have, in effect, almost the same impact as someone running into a crowded theater and yelling fire. He clarified for the record that the fluoride added by the City is diluted by two to three billion gallons of water. He pointed out that fluoride, like anything taken in sufficient, intensified, concentrated quantities, can cause harm. He stated that this why the sodium fluoride bags say for industrial use only; it is not meant to be taken home and eaten. Mr. Covington also emphasized that the City's water supply is potable water, not pure water. He explained that due to government regulations a number of different chemicals and additives are added to the water supply in order to ensure that it is safe for the majority of the population to drink. He acknowledged that there may be a portion of the population that is sensitive to one or more of these additives, but reiterated that for the vast majority of the public it is perfectly safe to drink. Concluding, Mr. Covington emphasized that the City, and Council as policy makers, rely heavily on state,federal, and local agencies to make recommendations regarding public health and safety issues. He stressed that all of these public health agencies have weighed in on the topic and determined fluoride to be safe. He also emphasized that the City is charged to follow the guidelines recommended by these agencies. Additionally, Ms. Hornsby stated that Renton's groundwater supply currently r.. provides water to approximately three quarters of the population. She stated that as the City limits expand, more and more of the water will be coming from outside sources that are already fluoridated. 40 February 11, 2013 Renton City Council Minutes Page 40 Ms. Hornsby explained that even if the City ended the practice of adding fluoride to its water supply, the water would still contain some fluoride because the water derived from multiple sources. Ms. Hornsby also stated that the data used to determine how much fluoride could be added to the water supply is .... not old data, as it was based on advice from the federal government from 2011.

She remarked that voters are paying property taxes and separately paying for Renton's new libraries so their wishes regarding design, including retaining the building entryway in its current location, should be honored. Ms. Asher also stated that KCLS has a habit of building small libraries and then remodeling them over and over again at taxpayers' expense. Citizen Comment: Bray— Richard Bray(Renton) expressed appreciation for the City's support of human Cedar River Library services programs. Additionally, he expressed concern with the recent proposed design of the Cedar River library. He explained that KCLS is proposing to reduce the building's size by 30 percent and move the entry away from the bridge deck. Citizen Comment:Samargis— Nick Samargis (Renton) requested that KCLS provide at least two additional Cedar River Library library design proposals that utilize all 22,400 square feet of the current building and retain the entry in its current location. He also suggested postponing the deadline set by KCLS to study the proposal, and to allow two or three concerned citizens to sit in at meetings with library planners. Citizen Comment: Mainrender Kerrick Mainrender(Renton) expressed outrage over the proposed library —Cedar River Library design. She stated that Renton does not need a smaller library, only more books, computers, and meeting spaces. She urged Council to make KCLS listen to Renton voters. Citizen Comment: Robinson— Nicola Robinson (Renton) asked if Council was receiving public comments Cedar River Library obtained during City-sponsored library open houses; if Council was aware of all monies being paid to KCLS; and if Council had seen the proposed design presented to citizens at the last open house on February 19. Mayor Law remarked that he could not say for certain that Council had been made aware of every library-related expenditure or public comment received about the libraries. Chief Administrative Officer Covington explained that a schedule had not yet been set to brief Council because, like every development project, it is a long process.

Responding to Ms. Robinson's question, Mr. Covington clarified that some agencies have expressed concern about predatory fish and the size of the shadow the building creates over the water.

She explained that voters believed the building would be refurbished, not demolished and rebuilt; and that the entryway would remain at mid-span on the bridge deck. Noting that the Fairwood library has been remodeled three times, Ms. Greene Crook stated that this is an indicator of how KCLS builds libraries too small. Citizen Comment: Ossenkop— Kathy Ossenkop (Renton)stated that she was shocked to learn that KCLS Cedar River Library proposes to reduce the Cedar River library from 22,400 square feet to 16,000 square feet. She remarked that she paid for the original building and is now being asked to pay to rebuild it. Ms. Ossenkop stated that she believes KCLS is ignoring citizen input, and although representatives from the Muckleshoot Tribe are encouraging increased light to the river,the City is in the unique position to continue to utilize the full 22,400 square foot building.

Library: Cedar River Library Council President Corman stated that he would like to see KCLS resolve the issue regarding the design of the Cedar River library. He remarked that he would like to know what it would take to build a library that would satisfy the community. He stated that KCLS should let the City know if there are issues hindering their ability to accomplish the desired design elements,and that if there are any funding issues,they should at least be discussed. February 25, 2013 Renton City Council Minutes Page 51 51 Councilmember Palmer remarked that the feedback from the community indicates to her that residents would rather the library be left alone than have it be refurbished as proposed by KCLS.

Ms. Palmer asked what the minimum amount of remodeling would entail to keep the library operational.

He stated that the building needs to stay the same size. He also explained that when he voted to annex to KCLS it was because he recognized that the City could not provide the level of service the community needed for the next 25 years. Mr.Taylor stated that KCLS needs to present a proposal that justifies the reasons for scaling the building back. He remarked that he believes the building can be refurbished in its existing footprint and stay within budget; however, he would support an additional expenditure of funds if needed, on the basis that the community also supported the expenditure. Mayor Law remarked that Council's remarks regarding the library proposal would be forwarded to KCLS. Utility:Waterline Smart Meter Additionally, Mr. Corman remarked that he has a reverse osmosis filter installed Installation in his house that removes fluoride from the water. He stated that the filter is a perpetual use system, and the new smart meter alerted him in error to look for a water leak.

Ms. Asher stated that the assertion from KCLS that Renton will have adequate library services is false based on research she gathered from KCLS about its current libraries.

She remarked that residents should contact their State legislators to voice grievances about KCLS management or decisions. Citizen Comment: Rochex— Dana Rochex(Renton) remarked that a common element used in the planning Cedar River Library model of many of the libraries designed by KCLS is a community's desire for a civic center. She stated that Renton currently lacks a civic center and the proposed library plan treats the Cedar River building as just another suburb satellite library. Ms. Rochex remarked that Council should tell KCLS that this area should be turned into a new civic center. Citizen Comment: Keyes— David Keyes(Renton) explained that at the last Council meeting citizens were Cedar River Library responding to information the City received from KCLS in preparation for their pre-application meeting and not to the information that was provided to Council at their annual retreat. He clarified that the citizen comments were not based on the soft diagrammatic"bubble" designs that were presented to Council at their 2/28/2013 retreat, but on harder development designs that were created by the architect hired by KCLS for the pre-application submittal. 66 March 4, 2013 Renton City Council Minutes Page 66 Mr. Covington acknowledged the diagrams were not included in the retreat presentation from KCLS, but noted that Council had received the diagrams in their informational hand-outs. He pointed out that architects are generally given leeway to create a conceptual design, and then engineering schematics are drawn up. He explained that engineering work had to be completed first because the Cedar River library is an existing building, and that may explain why parts of the project seem to run out of order. Citizen Comment: Adams— Audrey Adams(Renton) remarked that there may be people who do not Cedar River Library believe Renton deserves a great library.

Fire and Emergency Services Administrator Mark Peterson reported that the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) system in Renton and King County serves nearly two million people, and provides life-saving services on the average of every three minutes. He stated that the City of Renton, which includes Fire Protection Districts#25 and #40, receives$1.2 million annually in levy funds. Chief Peterson invited King County Emergency Medical Services Division Director Jim Fogarty to provide more details on the proposed levy. Mr. Fogarty reported that King County uses a regional perspective that utilizes local basic life support (BLS) providers to handle most of the 9-1-1 calls directly, with some patients shifted to advanced life support (ALS) providers if necessary, and then patients are transferred to the hospital networks. He also explained that the tiered system provides regional services which include medical program direction, continuing medical education and oversight, and criteria-based dispatch. Mr. Fogarty further explained that when a person calls 9-1-1 they receive the finest pre-hospital medicine anywhere in the nation. He stated that this is a measurable fact, and produced statistics that show save-rates for cardiac arrest in King County at 52%and climbing. He remarked that rates in other large metropolitan areas like New York and Los Angeles are below 10%. March 11, 2013 Renton City Council Minutes Page 72 Continuing, Mr. Fogarty reported that a taskforce was formed to develop the proposed levy package. He stated that many local officials served on subcommittees that were charged with describing what services are needed for the region over the next six years. Mr. Fogarty reported that the taskforce recommended that the levy remain a six-year levy with a rate of thirty-three and a half cents per$1,000 of assessed property tax value, and that an election be held in either August or November of 2013. Mr. Fogarty also reported that the taskforce recommended that there be no expansion of services;that no cost-shifting occur for ALS providers;that BLS providers continue to be funded at current levels; and that support programs for regional services find ways to control and maintain costs. He also reported that the fall prevention and the car seat programs remain funded and operate as regional programs. Concluding, Mr. Fogarty reported that in 2008 a typical homeowner would have paid approximately$100 a year for services,and the proposed 2014-2019 levy rate will cost a homeowner approximately$77 per year. He remarked that each city in King County with a population over 50,000 must pass a resolution approving the placement of the measure on the ballot in order for it to go forward, and requested that Council pass such a resolution. Mayor Law remarked that the intent of the public meeting was to provide both pro and con information regarding the proposed levy. He noted that no one had signed up or volunteered to speak in opposition to the measure. Public comment was invited. Dave Beedon (Renton) remarked that he believes in the value of taxes, especially for emergency medical services, and expressed support for the levy.

Annexation: Parker,SE 120th This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in St& 155th Ave SE accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Law opened the public meeting to consider the 10% Notice of Intent to Commence Annexation Proceedings petition for the proposed Parker Annexation; 20.4 acres bounded on the north by SE 120th St.,on the east by the Urban Growth Boundary, on the south by SE 124th St., and on the west at approximately 155th Ave.SE. Associate Planner Angie Mathias reported that the annexation site is within the City's potential annexation area and contains single-family lots and vacant land. Mod She remarked that there are no regulated slopes, and there is an identified wetland and a Class IV stream in the area. March 11, 2013 Renton City Council Minutes Page 73 Ms. Mathias stated that public services are currently provided by Fire District #25, Water District#90, Renton sewer service, and the Issaquah School District. She stated that existing King County zoning is R-4(four dwelling units per gross acre), and that the City's Comprehensive Plan designates the site as Residential Low Density. She added that the area was pre-zoned as R-4(four dwelling units per net acre)which becomes effective if the annexation becomes effective. Ms. Mathias reported that currently there are 42 dwelling units in the area, and there would be$52,726 in revenues and $45,910 in costs annually to the City's Operating Fund if annexed,which would change to$90,049 in revenues and $80,276 in costs if the projected 22 additional dwelling units are built over the next ten years. Additionally, Ms. Mathias reported that there would be$5,806 in revenues and$1,063 in costs to the City's Capital and Enterprise Funds, which would change to$30,534 in revenues and $14,705 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. Responding to Councilmember Palmer's inquiry, Ms. Mathias stated that one owner owns approximately 10 to 12 of the 22 vacant lots. Correspondence was entered into the record from the following individuals: Aaron and Virginia Sadler(King County) indicating opposition to the annexation; Mr. and Mrs. C.M. Dickson (King County) expressing drainage concerns and requesting a revision to the annexation boundaries to included their adjacent property;Steven Beck (Renton) expressing support for the annexation; and Chuck Hampton (King County) expressing opposition to the annexation. Public comment was invited. Adria Krail (Renton) remarked that the area contains homes built in the 1960s and 1970s, newer homes built in 2000, and brand new homes built in the last 12 to 24 months. Ms. Krail stated that in 2009 the City brought in sewers, which benefited the community. She also stated that she believes annexation to Renton of this area will provide many additional benefits for area residents. C.J. Dickson (King County)expressed support for the annexation; however, she requested that the proposed boundary be adjusted to include her adjacent property. She also requested that a drainage plan for the entire area be developed because water is pushed from lot to lot as people develop their properties. Andrew Croasdell (Renton), President of Maureen Highlands Homeowners' Association, stated that the boundary map of the area shows an extension off of NE 6th St.through to 155th Ave. SE. He asked if the annexation process will cause this proposed extension to be built. r■. March 11, 2013 Renton City Council Minutes Page 74 Ms. Mathias stated that the annexation proposal has nothing to do with whether or not a roadway will be built on this unimproved right-of-way. She noted that at this time there are no plans to extend the road. Responding to Council President Corman's inquiry, Ms. Krail stated that she was not opposed to the suggested boundary change. Ms. Mathias also indicated that City staff was also not opposed to the suggested boundary change. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY ZWICKER, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC MEETING. CARRIED. MOVED BY ZWICKER, SECONDED BY PRINCE, COUNCIL ACCEPT THE 10% NOTICE OF INTENT PETITION FOR THE PARKER ANNEXATION,AUTHORIZE THE CIRCULATION OF A 60% DIRECT PETITION TO ANNEX SPECIFYING THAT SIGNERS SUPPORT FUTURE ZONING CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LAND USE DESIGNATION AND ZONING,AND AMEND THE BOUNDARY TO INCLUDE THE DICKSON PROPERTY AS REQUESTED. CARRIED. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington reviewed an administrative report summarizing the City's recent progress towards goals and work programs adopted as part of its business plan for 2013 and beyond. Items noted were: King County Library System will host an open house at the downtown library on Tuesday, March 26 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Citizens are invited to see the current designs for the new library. Representatives from KCLS and the City will be available to hear comments and answer questions. The City has received a permit application submitted by KCLS for the new library building. The City has not accepted the application and will not accept the application until after the upcoming open house, and after Council has had time to review the schematic designs. Council's review of the application is tentatively scheduled for April 15, 2013. The City believes allowing more time for public input is consistent with the library guiding principles Council adopted in September 2012. There had been some recent discussion about the budget for the downtown library. The original budget was$9.3 million, of which approximately$400,000 was spent on the Big 5 site. The remaining budget, which the public was informed of last summer, is $8.9 million. As with any construction project,there are budgets within the larger budget for soft costs such as architectural design and engineering studies. This may be the reason why there has been confusion about the Cedar River library's budget. There had also been some allegations about the improper disposal of library books. As best as can be discerned, the incident citizens are referring to occurred on March 30, 2010, shortly after the library was annexed to KCLS. Books are public property and therefore cannot be given away or sold. KCLS has foundations who receive donated library books that are no longer in circulation. It is believed that these paperback books had been donated to KCLS's foundation, and the foundation deemed them to be unsellable and therefore disposed of them in a recycle bin; not a garbage dumpster. "� March 11, 2013 Renton City Council Minutes Page 75 75 AUDIENCE COMMENT Tom Reiter(Renton)suggested retaining the entrance to the Cedar River library Citizen Comment: Reiter— at its current location, and utilizing the full square footage of the existing Cedar River Library structure to save aesthetics and construction costs. He also remarked that keeping the current entrance would not impact parking. Citizen Comment: Keyes— Jeannie Keyes(Renton)asked what advantage there was for Council to support Cedar River Library the proposed plans for the Cedar River library when a majority of citizens oppose the plans. She also remarked that if there are objections to considering the few citizens who regularly attend Council meetings to speak on the proposed library design as representing a clear majority of residents,then the City should conduct some type of unbiased poll to survey citizens about their positions on the library. Chief Administrative Officer Covington stated that the City is still in the early stages of this process and no decision has been made in regards to the design of the libraries. He emphasized that the City has not accepted the application submitted by KCLS,and will not consider doing so until after the March 26 open house and after Council has had time to review the designs. Mr. Covington reiterated that Council's review of the designs is tentatively scheduled for April 15, 2013. Citizen Comment: Bray— Richard Bray(Renton)stated that yesterday a local news program aired a story Cedar River Library about the proposed design changes for the downtown library. Mr. Bray urged Council to reject these changes. Citizen Comment: Ouellette— Paul Ouellette (Renton) remarked that the KCLS continued to invoice the City King County Library for design fees for the Big 5 site after citizens voted in August 2012 to move the r.. library back to the Cedar River site. He also stated that the Washington State Office of Financial Management has determined that companies could charge between 6.7 and 9.7 percent of the total project budget for architectural and engineering services. Mr.Ouellette stated that KCLS's proposed budget charges the City nearly twenty-five percent for these types of services. He stressed that this percentage is unreasonable and exorbitant. Citizen Comment: Keyes— David Keyes(Renton) displayed and described three diagrams depicting Cedar River Library changes proposed by KCLS to the Cedar River library. He noted that the proposed design would reduce the building's footprint by 30 percent, and increase the amount of space the public restrooms take up inside the building. Mr. Keyes urged Council not to accept the pre-application plan submitted by KCLS. Citizen Comment: Robinson— Nicola Robinson (Renton) stated that KCLS was not following their own Cedar River Library principles in terms of valuing the communities they serve. She explained that if KCLS valued the concerns of Renton residents they would be building a library that reflects the desires of the community. Ms. Robinson stated that KCLS is not listening to Renton citizens, and has been disrespectful to Council in dealing with the situation. Responding to Mayor Law's inquiry, Ms. Robinson stated that she had not attended a KCLS board meeting, and should consider doing so. om 76 March 11, 2013 Renton City Council Minutes Page 76 Citizen Comment: Mainrender Kerrick Mainrender(Renton) stated that she believes KCLS is not respecting the —Cedar River Library wishes of Renton citizens. She remarked that all of Renton's 93,000 residents benefit from the library, not just the 12,000 who voted to relocate it, and urged Council to advocate for their constituents. wig Citizen Comment: Beedon— David Beedon (Renton)stated that he has been impressed with some Cedar River Library Councilmembers because they have consistently shown interest in the value of citizen input regarding the library issue. He also remarked that he will be attending future KCLS board meetings. Citizen Comment: Asher— Beth Asher(Renton)stated that the City of Burien has half the population of Cedar River Library Renton and has two libraries;the main branch being larger than both of Renton's proposed libraries. She urged Council to amend the interlocal agreement with KCLS or de-annex from their system. Ms.Asher stated that the City could run the libraries better for less money.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington reviewed an administrative report summarizing the City's recent progress towards goals and work programs adopted as part of its business plan for 2013 and beyond. Items noted were: King County Library System will host an open house at the downtown library tomorrow, March 26, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Citizens are invited to see the current designs for the new library. Representatives from KCLS and the City will be available to hear comments and answer questions. King County will host an open house to celebrate their long-sought-after acquisitions along nearly 20 miles of the Eastside Rail Corridor. The event will be held Saturday, March 30, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. at the Seahawks Headquarters and Training Facility in Renton. The Eastside Rail Corridor extends from Renton north to Snohomish, passing through Bellevue, Kirkland, Woodinville, and portions of unincorporated King County. These acquisitions are an important step in preserving the corridor for multiple near-and long-term uses. AUDIENCE COMMENT The following speakers commented on the proposed design plans for the Cedar Citizen Comment: Various— River library submitted to the City as a pre-application land use package by the Cedar River Library King County Library System (KCLS) on March 1, 2013: Paul Ouellette (Renton); Stuart Avery(Renton);Jill Jones (Renton); Kerrick Mainrender(Renton); Howard McOmber(Renton); Kathy Ossenkop (Renton);Judy Tabak (Renton); Nicola Robinson (Renton);Judy Milligan (Renton); Dave Beedon (Renton); Myrn Larson (Renton); Elizabeth Stevens (Renton); David Keyes (Renton); Beth Asher (Renton);Joe Berret (King County); Renata Beedon (Renton); and Helen Rochex (Renton). Comments and concerns alleged included: KCLS continued to charge fees for the Big 5 site after citizens voted to keep the library at the Cedar River site; KLCS charged excessive fees for design services;the administration and Council continue to make decisions counter to the will of Renton citizens; a majority of 84 March 25, 2013 Renton City Council Minutes Page 84 the voting population voted to keep the Cedar River library in its current location and in its existing form;the proposed plan submitted by KCLS is unacceptable and does not reflect the wishes of the community;voters did not vote to have the downtown library demolished and reconstructed;the importance of the building's legacy for future residents of Renton; residents do not wish for the existing entrance to be moved; residents do not wish for the building to be reduced by 30%; KCLS has only offered one design plan;there should be more small group meeting spaces included in the design plan; and Renton deserves a larger library to serve its current and future population. The following recommendations were expressed: formally reject the land use application and design plan submitted by KCLS on March 1,2013 prior to March 28; maintain the building's current footprint, entry location, and overall size; renovate, not demolish,the current building to improve aesthetics and energy efficiency; review and audit KCLS accounting procedures; appoint members of the community who are pro-Cedar River Library to the Library Advisory Board; revise the interlocal agreement with KCLS; request alternate design plans from KCLS; and stop giving in to KCLS and stand up for Renton citizens. Chief Administrative Officer Covington clarified that Council approved the continuation of design services at the Big 5 site as a condition to holding the election regarding the planned relocation of the downtown library. He explained that KCLS was under contract with consultants, and if the election had been for the Big 5 site,then the design work would not have been interrupted. Mr. Covington also clarified that the City has not accepted an application from KCLS, and emphasized that there was no intention to accept one until after the March 26 open house and after Council had reviewed the plans. He also emphasized that the City will take the necessary official action to formally reject the land use application prior to March 28 if necessary. Mr. Covington stated that Council is tentatively scheduled to review the permits on April 15, and a that decision from Council is not necessarily required at that time either. Mayor Law added that Council and the administration have listened to citizens in regards to the libraries for several years and are well aware of the many concerns. He remarked that it was possible that not everyone was going to agree on the final product; however, Council ultimately will decide what will happen at that site.

Mr.Corman stated that Ms. Mathews' contributions to the City will be remembered. Council: Policy Change, 800-05 Additionally, Mr. Corman stated that at the last Council meeting Council voted to change Policy& Procedure#800-05. He remarked that the City Clerk pointed out that under the revision when Council refers a topic as a briefing to a Council Committee by formal motion, there will be no written report expected from the Committee, leaving the Councilmembers who are not members of that particular Committee without receiving the same information. March 25, 2013 Renton City Council Minutes Page 87 87 Mr.Corman explained that he believes it is Council's intent to delegate their authority to the Committee for investigation. He also noted that the City Clerk pointed out that traditionally a Committee Chair could request a briefing without making a formal motion. Continuing, Mr. Corman stated that Councilmember Zwicker pointed out that because of the way the policy was changed on 3/11/2013, if someone did not use the exact phrase"briefing only" when making a motion for a briefing,then a report would be expected. Therefore, Mr.Corman suggested that the last sentence of Section 4.2.4 of Policy& Procedure#800-05 be changed again to read, "If the Committee item was referred by Council only as a briefing,and there are no recommendations by the Committee,then a report is not required." MOVED BY CORMAN,SECONDED BY ZWICKER, COUNCIL REVISE POLICY& PROCEDURE#800-05 TO REFLECT THIS CHANGE.* No objections from Council were voiced when City Clerk Bonnie Walton confirmed that under the revised policy if the word "briefing" is not used in either Council's referral motion or in the Committee meeting announcement, then Council will expect preparation of a draft Committee report. *MOTION CARRIED. Library: Citizen Comments Mr. Corman requested that a copy of the video of the audience comments Forwarded to KCLS segment of the 3/25/2013 regular Council meeting related to the library be forwarded to KCLS. Library: Cedar River Library Continuing with the library topic, Mr. Corman stated that he is no longer satisfied with KCLS as a service provider. He noted that library services were polled as being the lowest priority behind fire and police services, and ever since off-loading this service to KCLS the libraries have actually become the highest priority for Council. He stated that Council has been working harder on this issue than any other, and continues to lose political capital on this topic. Mr. Corman stated that he believes it is not worth utilizing KCLS anymore. Mayor Law remarked that there is a process in place that needs to be seen to conclusion. He stated that he believes KCLS needs to be allowed to present their plans for the Cedar River library. He added that at the end of the day a majority of Council will decide what happens at that site. Continuing, Mr.Corman stated that he checked state law and pointed out that either the City or KCLS could terminate service. He remarked that the issue of terminating service only needs to go before Renton residents,and he believes if a majority of citizens requested Council to put this topic to the voters,then it would be irresponsible of Council not to do it. He also remarked that the City should use the possibility of dropping KCLS as a service provider as leverage in negotiations. Councilmember Palmer stated that she agreed with Mr.Corman's statements. Councilmember Persson requested information regarding all of the ramifications associated with dropping KCLS has a service provider. +rr 88 March 25, 2013 Renton City Council Minutes Page 88 Councilmember Zwicker remarked that he is optimistic a solution to the library issue will be found. However, he stated that if Council is serious about de- annexing from KCLS then the effects of that decision need to be discussed. Mr. Zwicker pointed out that library services are no longer in the City budget, and the reciprocal agreement with KCLS would have to end. He requested that a resolution calling for de-annexation from KCLS be presented to Council for discussion. MOVED BY ZWICKER,SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL REFER A DRAFT RESOLUTION CALLING FOR DE-ANNEXATION FROM THE KING COUNTY LIBRARY SYSTEM TO THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE. CARRIED. Councilmember Taylor stated that he agreed with Mr.Corman in terms of having leverage over KCLS, but also understands Mr. Persson's concern about the ramifications of ending the service agreement. He stated that he believes the real question is why is there such a high-degree of discontent about KCLS's direction from Renton residents. Mr.Taylor remarked that he is not averse to discussing de-annexation, but believes if that were to happen it is only because Council failed to hold KCLS accountable to providing City residents with the level of service that they deserve.
