Council Members,
On April 17, 2007, we initiated an application to renew a Rebuild Approval Permit for a
non-conforming medical/dental building rezoned to R-8 and R-10 zones in 1997. The
building and its uses conformed to zoning from 1957 to 1997. On October 21, 2010, the
Office of the Hearing Examiner, for the City of Renton, denied our request.
There are two rebuild approval criteria: one for non-conforming use and the second for
a non-conforming structure.
We believe that we meet four of the six criteria for non-conforming use: Community
Need, Location, Effect on Adjacent Property and Economic Significance. Further, we
believe we meet three of the five criteria for non-conforming structure: Compatibility with
Surrounding Structures, Condition of Building/Structure, and Development from
Development Regulations. These are the minimum requirements for the Rebuild
Approval Permit to which we have conformed for more than fifty years.
We request that you grant a ten year continuation of a legal non-conforming use and
structure on the subject property. A draft Restrictive Covenants is attached for your
review and approval.

The hearing opened with a presentation of the staff report by Vanessa Dolbee, Senior Planner, Community and
Economic Development, City of Renton, 1055 S Grady Way, Renton, Washington 98057. The applicant is
requesting a rebuild approval permit for a non-conforming medical office use. The building is located at 115
Pelly Ave N, the parcel is a split zone, the northern portion is R-8 and the southern is R-10.
This permit, if approved, would allow the non-conforming structure to be remodeled, re-established or rebuilt
even though the costs of the re-establishment of the use would exceed 50% of the most recently appraised value.
Without this permit the businesses within the structure would be permitted and allowed to remain. The
applicant would be subject to the RMC in terms of what they can do with maintenance and rebuild.
The Examiner questioned if a tenant moved out and another one moved into that space, would the space not be
considered vacated.
Ms. Dolbee stated that that was correct.
The site is located on the west side of Pelly Avenue N and is north of N 1st Street, which is in the North Renton
Neighborhood.
This building was established in 1957 as a clinic and contains various medical offices. The building is
approximately 3,921 square feet with 19 parking stalls in the northern parking lot and some diagonal stalls off
the alley in the rear. Access to the site is via Pelly Ave N or the alley which intersects with North 1st Avenue.
There is mature landscaping along the front of the property and some landscaping on the north side of the
building. No changes to the structure have been proposed by the applicant as part of this permit.
North of the site is single-family residential homes zoned R-8, to the east is single-family residential homes with
the exception of one piece of property which currently houses a vision clinic. To the south is the R-10 zone with
an existing Renton Family Practice Clinic. On the west is more single-family residential buildings zoned R-10.
The subject site is exempt from SEP A review because the structure currently exists and no changes are
proposed.

There are two rebuild approval criteria; one for the non-conforming use and the second for the non-conforming
structure. In reviewing the non-conforming use issue there are six factors to be considered and four must be
complied with for approval; Community Need, the continuation of this use at its current location would result in
an overconcentration of a particular use within the area surrounding the site; Location, the subject location is
suitable for the existing use; Effect on Adjacent Property, no comments from surrounding neighbors were
received, there is a large amount of mature landscaping along Pelly Ave N to screen the front of the building
however, there is only a fence to the north and no screening is provided across the alley; Historical Significance,
the building is not associated with a historical event or activity; Economic Significance, the subject building
does not provide a substantial benefit to the community from employment or tax revenues; and timeliness with
existing plans and programs. The approval of the Rebuild Approval Permit would result in a delay of the
implementation of the City's Comprehensive Plan.
The criteria for a non-conforming structure include five criteria and three must have been satisfied in order to
approve the permit; Architectural and/or Historic Significance, the existing office building does not represent a
unique architectural style there are many office buildings with this style of architecture; Architectural
Compatibility with Surrounding Structures, this building is not a part of a unified streetscape of similar
structures that are unlikely to be replicated; Potential of Site for Redevelopment, the redevelopment of the
subject site would be economically feasible; Condition of Building/Structure, the building has been well
maintained and is not considered to be a threat to the public health, welfare or safety; Departure from
Development Regulations, the existing building does not pose a threat to the public health, welfare or safety.
The North Renton Building complies with two of the six criteria for non-conforming use and two of the five
criteria for non-conforming structure.
The Examiner questioned the fact that they did receive a permit back in 1997 which expired and they are now
looking to re-new this permit.
Ms. Dolbee stated that was correct and that the criteria had not changed since that time. Under the existing code
they can continue this use and they can continue to maintain the structure. If approved the Conditional
Approval Permit would allow the structure to be re-built should, for example, the structure burn to the ground
and the cost to rebuild the structure was beyond the cost of the assessed value.
Aaron Vederoff. 7711 31st Avenue NE, Seattle 98115 stated that he is one of three owners of the building, He
manages the building, collects the rents and pays the bills. His comments were written out and covered only the
points that the owners take issue with, either disagree or actually say they are not correct.
Item #1: Project Description/Background; there are 23 non-residential uses and buildings within the area. This
building is the most outstanding, attractive and well maintained small commercial building in the area. It is
important to get this permit approved; the understanding is that the use may continue without any problem. The
dentist currently occupying the building entered into a conditional agreement to purchase the building but was
advised by his attorney not to proceed because of the non-conforming status. The dentist is still interested in
buying the building but not unless the Rebuild Approval Permit is renewed. There appears to be a question as to
whether financing can be obtained without the ability to rebuild if more than 50% of the building is damaged.
Item #4a: Community Need; the ability for relocation seems to ignore the fact that this dental practice has been.
established in this location for over 50 years and is extremely established. Moving would create challenge and
hardship.
Item #4e: Economic Significance; the current tenants do pay B&O tax and therefore provide economic benefit to
the City.

Item #4f: Timelines with Existing Plans and Programs; it appears to be an extremely modest delay to the 100%
implementation to the City's Comprehensive Plan. Further it appears that the City began the process of looking
at the zoning for the area and it has been put on hold. It is possible that the new zoning would allow the outright
use for a small office building.
Item #5a: Architectural and/or Historical Significance; the building is unique with the "U" configuration rather
than the typical rectangle.
Item #5b: Architectural Compatibility with Surrounding Structures; the building does have a pitched roof, not a
flat roof as stated in the report. The building is set back from the property lines on all four sides and is a
valuable asset to the immediate neighborhood.
Item #5c: Site Potential for Re-Development; the site could be redeveloped with three units; it seems to be
extremely unlikely to be done. There are six houses in the block with an assessed value ranging from $119,000
to $243,000; it is difficult to believe that someone would build new houses that would cost $400,000 or more
with the existing houses as neighbors.
Clifford Moon, 16261 36th Avenue NE, Lake Forest Park 98155 stated that he is also one of the owners and
proceeded to show additional photos of the area. The Conditional Use permit that was part of the building
expired in June 2007. The City was contacted in April 2007 to begin this process, it has taken three years to get
to the hearing today. They would like to continue the current status of the building.
The Examiner stated that if the building was totally lost to fire or whatever, the expectation would be that the
new construction would be upgraded to meet the existing codes. This issue is forced by the potential resale of
the building where a purchaser would be subject to the same constraints as currently exist with redeveloping the
property.
Mr. Vederoff stated if there was a complete burn down of the building, the concern as the City would be can
somebody economically redevelop it with three housing units.
The Examiner stated that at the same time someone at that point in redeveloping a dental office clinic as a
modern structure would also be very expensive as well as a loss of income while it is being developed. Those
are the trade-offs, the code is designed to help move out non-conforming uses ultimately. This building is well
maintained and there is no problem with that.
Mr. Vederoff continued stating that they were asking for the 10 year permit as previously. He has seen in other
agreements such as this that there is no time limit. This seems unusual where a time limit is given.
The Examiner called for further testimony regarding this project. There was no one else wishing to speak, and
no further comments from staff. The hearing closed at 9:41 a.m.

FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATION
Having reviewed the record in this matter, the Examiner now makes and enters the following
FINDINGS:
1. The applicant, Clifford E. Moon, filed a request for a Rebuild Approval Permit to allow replacement of
a legal non-conforming use in the event of a substantial loss.
2. The yellow file containing the staff report, the State Environmental Policy Act (SEP A) documentation
and other pertinent materials was entered into the record as Exhibit #1.
3. The Environmental Review Committee (ERC), the City's responsible official determined that the
proposal is exempt from environmental review.
4. The subject proposal was reviewed by all departments with an interest in the matter.
5. There was no opposition from the public regarding the subject proposal.
6. The subject site'is located at 115 Pelly Avenue North. The subject site is located on the west side of
Pelly one parcel north of North 1st Street. An alley runs along the rear or west side of the parcel
between Pelly and Wells Avenue North.
7. The map element of the Comprehensive Plan designates the area in which the subject site is located as
suitable for the development of single family and medium density multifamily uses, but does not
mandate such development without consideration of other policies of the Plan,
8. The subject site is currently zoned R-8 (Single Family - 8 dwelling units/acre) for the north portion and
R-10 (Residential; 10 units per acre) for the south portion.
9. The subject site was annexed to the City with the adoption of Ordinance 156 enacted in May 1909.
10. There is R-10 zoning south and west of the subject site and R-8 zoning directly east across Pelly and
north and northwest of the subject site.
11. Single family uses are located north, northeast and west of the subject site. Renton Vision Clinic is
across the street in an R-8 parcel. Renton Family Practice Clinic is located directly south on another R-
10 parcel.
12. The subject site is approximately 15,000 square feet. The existing building is approximately 3,921
square feet.
13. The building is a one-story, U-shaped building. The building has a pitched roof. The staff report noted
it had a flat floor line.

14. The building is served by 19 on-site parking stalls and 5 parallel spaces on the street. There are 11 stalls
located near the north property line. There is landscaping between the parking and the adjoining single
family home. There are also stalls west of the building. These stalls directly back onto the alley.
Single family uses are located on the west of the alley. Code does not permit direct maneuvering from
an alley into parking for commercial uses. These alley-accessed parking stalls are legally non-
conforming like the building and uses.
15. The site contains mature landscaping in front of the building both along the street and within the niche
created by the U-shaped building. A fence and narrow landscape strip provides some separation along
the north property line. There is no landscaping along the alley where the applicant has a series of
parking stalls.
16. The purpose of a rebuild approval permit is to allow nonconforming uses and/or structures that became
nonconforming as a consequence of Code amendments in June 1993 and thereafter, to be re-established
and/or rebuilt in certain zoning districts where they would normally be prohibited because the costs
associated with re-establishing the use and/or structure exceed fifty percent (50%) of their most recently
assessed or appraised value prior to the loss or damage.
17. The City issued a Rebuild Approval Permit for the subject site in 1997 (City file# LUA97-044). This
permit expired 10 years after its issuance on June 26, 2007.
18. The applicant has indicated that the current zoning has restricted the building's sale as a commercial
entity and may encumber its refinancing. The applicant noted the unkempt nature of the alley for the
properties west of the alley. There have been no complaints about the current use.
19. A density calculation is not required for this analysis. Staff estimated that if the property were
redeveloped with some conforming residential uses there might be a potential for three units.
20. The development of one single family home would generate approximately 10 trips. Three residential
units, depending on the nature of the use or uses, could generate approximately 30 trips. Staff estimates
that the clinic would generate more traffic than one single family use and probably more than a three
unit development.
CONCLUSIONS
1. Section 4-9-120 contains the criteria for approving a rebuild approval permit:
E REVIEW CRITERIA FOR NONCONFORMING USES:
The Reviewing Official may issue a rebuild approval permit only when the continuance of
the use is determined to be in the public interest and such uses are: (1) found to be
compatible with other existing and potential uses/structures in the general area; or (2) can be
made to be compatible with the application of appropriate conditions. The Reviewing
Official shall consider the following factors when considering a request for a rebuild
approval permit for a nonconforming use. In order to grant the permit, at least four (4) of
these factors shall be complied with:
1. Community Need: There shall be a community need for the proposed use at its present
location; and the continuance of the nonconforming use should not result in either the

Page 7
detrimental overconcentration of a particular use within the City or within the area
surrounding the site.
2. Location: The existing location is or can be made suitable for the existing use.
3. Effect on Adjacent Property: The existing nonconforming use has not resulted in
undue adverse effects on adjacent properties from noise, traffic, glare, vibration, etc., (i.e.,
does not exceed normal levels in these areas emanating from surrounding permitted uses).
4. Historical Significance: The existing use was associated with a historical event or
activity in the community and as a result has historical significance.
5. Economic Significance: The existing use provides substantial benefit to the
community because of either the employment of a large number of people in the community,
the generation of considerable retail and/or business/occupation tax revenues to the City, or
it provides needed affordable housing.
6. Timeliness with Existing Plans and Programs: Because of the anticipated market
timing for permitted uses in the zone, retention of the existing nonconforming use would not
impede or delay the implementation of the City's Comprehensive Plan.
F REVIEW CRITERIA FOR NONCONFORMING STRUCTURES:
The Reviewing Official may issue a rebuild approval permit only when the continuance of
the structure is determined to be in the public interest and such structures are: (1) found to be
compatible with other existing and potential uses/structures in the general area; or (2) can be
made to be compatible with the application of appropriate conditions. The Community and
Economic Development Administrator shall consider the following factors, when
considering a request for a rebuild approval permit for a nonconforming structure. In order to
grant the permit, he/she shall find that at least three (3) of the following criteria have been
satisfied:
1. Architectural and/or Historic Significance: The structure represents a unique regional
or national architectural style or an innovation in architecture because of its style, use of
materials,.or functional arrangement, and is one of the few remaining examples of this.
2. Architectural Compatibility with Surrounding Structures: The nonconforming
building or structure was part of a unified streetscape of similar structures that is unlikely to
be replicated unless the subject structure is rebuilt per, or similar to, its original plan.
3. Potential of Site for Redevelopment: Redevelopment of the site with a conforming
structure is unlikely either because the size of the existing lot may be too small to be
economical, or because the characteristics of adjacent permitted uses (that might normally be
expected to expand to such a site) currently might preclude their expansion. Typically,
economic hardship would not be considered for a variance, but is a consideration here.
4. Condition of Building/Structure: If nonconforming as to the provisions of the City's
Building Code, the building or structure and surrounding premises have generally been well
maintained and are not considered to be a threat to the public health, welfare, or safety, or
they could be retrofitted so as not to pose such a threat.
5. Departure from Development Regulations: If nonconforming with the provisions of
the City's development regulations, the building or structure does not pose a threat to the
public health, welfare or safety, or could be modified so as not to pose such a threat. (Ord
5450, 3-2-2009)
G DECISION OPTIONS:
The approving body may grant, with or without conditions, or deny a requested rebuild
approval permit. Such a permit, if granted, typically would carry conditions with it
pertaining to how a damaged structure would be allowed to redevelop. The approving body
may, for example, limit the term and duration of the rebuild approval permit as well as
impose conditions.

H CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:
Conditions imposed by the approving body shall reasonably assure that nuisance or hazard to
life or property will not develop. A rebuild approval permit for a nonconforming use and/or
structure may, for example, be conditioned upon the provision and/or guarantee by the
applicant that necessary public improvements, facilities, utilities and/or services needed to
support the use/structure will be provided, or the provision of other features that would make .
the use/structure more compatible with its surroundings.
I EXPIRATION:
Conditions imposed relating to the duration of a permit for a use or structure should also
reflect reasonable amortization periods for any substantial upgrades to the premises that are
required by City Code.
2. This office has to reluctantly agree with staffs recommendation in this matter. There are two sets of
criteria. One set of criteria refers to non-conforming "uses" while the other refers to non-conforming
"structures." Those criteria that so carefully outline what is permissible do not sanction the permit the
applicant has requested. It does not meet at least four of the criteria found above for use nor three
criteria for structure. At the same time, this office has to reconfirm what staff reported regarding this
building and the uses it houses - the building may be maintained in a normal fashion and the established
uses and similar uses within it are all legally allowed to remain and may continue operation. Code and
courts have generally encouraged the conversion of non-conforming structures and uses to conforming
to current codes. Granting a permit to avoid conversion is not entertained lightly and Code provisions
require that the criteria be appropriately satisfied. The use does not satisfy the criteria for approving the
requested permit.
Non-Conforming Uses Criteria
3. While the use obviously serves the needs of patrons - both immediate neighbors and other patrons of the
buildings and its uses, those needs can be served by a building and uses in the commercial zones found
nearby. The nearby vicinity provides the CN zone a block north and east of the site, the CA zone a
block east of the site or downtown Renton a block or two south of the site. There is no community need
for the uses at this specific location. In addition, there are two other legal non-conforming uses in the
immediate vicinity also serving medical patrons. One is immediately south of the -subject site and
another directly across Pelly east of the subject site. These uses together create an over-concentration of
non-conforming uses in an area of residential zoning.
4. The use has been established and, admittedly, well-maintained in the area for more than 50 years. The
use has not generated any complaints. The building is designed for its current uses. Landscaping helps
the use blend into the area although there is little to screen the building's alley parking from its
residential neighbors west of the alley. There is also limited separation between the north parking area
and the adjacent single family home. The applicant's comments on the state of those neighboring
properties across the alley could reflect neglect or just a reaction to being subjected to the applicant's
parking lot across the alley.
5. The use has been established in its location for a long time and neighbors are probably use to it. The use
does generate more traffic than a standard, single family home and staff estimated it probably generates
more traffic than a limited number of residential uses. A conforming residential use or uses would
probably have less effect on neighboring properties but it does not appear that the use had adverse
impacts on those adjacent uses.
6b. ‐ City Clerk reports appeal of Hearing Examiner’s decision regarding
the North Renton Professional Building Rebuild Permit application (LUA‐Page 19 of 166

6. While nicely maintained, neither the building nor contained uses have any historical or architectural
significance. The uses are routine medical clinics.
7. Staff found that the building and its uses do not provide affordable housing. While it employs a
complement of medical professionals and associates it does not provide retail uses and does not provide
any substantial tax revenues either from occupation or sales taxes.
8. Finally, the timeliness of existing plans and code amendments suggests that the use should have been
transitioned to a conforming use in 2007. Clearly, there has been no urgency in this area. The use is
established and the applicant had a permit to allow restoration until June 26, 2007. Realistically,
removing or renovating the existing building to provide residential uses will not occur if a permit were
granted to allow reconstruction in the event of loss. Providing a use consistent with both the
comprehensive plan's goals and the current zoning will not occur if a permit is granted. Frankly, it
probably will not occur without a permit approval either as the use is still flourishing.
Non-Conforming Structures Criteria
9. The other criteria for non-conforming structure rebuild approval mirror in some cases the criteria found
above. The building is neither architecturally nor historically significant.
10. The one-story building is larger than nearby single family homes in area although it is not overly tall.
Yard conformity was not analyzed for this review but the building could be converted to residential uses
with potentially non-conforming yards. The building is not part of a unified streetscape and does differ
significantly from neighbor residential uses.
11. The applicant pointed out in the current economy that redevelopment to conforming residential uses
would be unlikely in the near term. Staff noted that redevelopment of conforming uses is possible even
if not an immediate result.
12. Again, this office has to emphasize that the building and its landscaping area well-maintained and would
not contribute to adverse impacts on health, safety or welfare.
13. Finally, this office cannot ignore the precedent of granting the permit. Two other non-conforming uses
are also located on this street. Approving this permit would create a precedent that would potentially
lead to similar additional requests, thereby further delaying the transition of three uses to conforming
land use patterns that area required by the comprehensive plan and the Zoning Code. The permit or
permits do not satisfy the requisite criteria and therefore, the permit must be denied. If on appeal the
City Council believes a permit is warranted, they might consider a reduced timeframe.
DECISION
The Rebuild Approval Permit is denied.

Kthe Examiner's Recommendation or Decision contains the requirement for Restrictive Covenants, the
executed Covenants will be required prior to approval by City Council or final processing of the file. You
may contact this office for information on formatting covenants.
The Appearance of Fairness Doctrine provides that no ex parte (private one-on-one) communications may occur
concerning pending land use decisions. This means that parties to a land use decision may not communicate in
private with any decision-maker concerning the proposal. Decision-makers in the land use process include both
the Hearing Examiner and members of the City Council.
All communications concerning the proposal must be made in public. This public communication permits all
interested parties to know the contents of the communication and would allow them to openly rebut the
evidence. Any violation of this doctrine would result in the invalidation of the request by the Court.
The Doctrine applies not only to the initial public hearing but to all Requests for Reconsideration as well as
Appeals to the City Council.

INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF TUKWILA
AND THE CITY OF RENTON RELATING TO THE PROCESSING OF BUILDING
PERMITS AND LAND USE APPLICATIONS FOR THE TUKWILA SOUNDER
STATION
THIS INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT (“the Agreement”) is entered into by and between
the CITY OF TUKWILA, a State of Washington municipal corporation (hereinafter referred to
as “Tukwila”), and the CITY OF RENTON, a State of Washington municipal corporation
(hereinafter referred to as “Renton”) and in conformity with Chapter 39.34 RCW.
RECITALS
WHEREAS, Sound Transit Plans recommend a permanent commuter rail station in
Tukwila on property acquired by Sound Transit that is addressed in Tukwila as 7301 S.
Longacres Way with a legal description attached as Exhibit A and is incorporated herein by
reference (“Tukwila Sounder Station”); and
WHEREAS, the temporary and permanent use of additional land within the City of
Renton is needed for the construction and access to the east platform of the Tukwila Sounder
Station; and
WHEREAS, the majority of the planned permanent station area of the Tukwila Sounder
Station is in the City of Tukwila, however, a portion of the improvements, including the
platform, elevator/stair tower, and some pedestrian and emergency access, will be within the

of Renton will provide greater consistency for the Sound Transit project and cost efficiencies for
both parties; and
WHEREAS, it is the parties intent by virtue of this Agreement that any and all
discretionary decisions related to the Tukwila Sounder Station shall be made by Tukwila; and
WHEREAS, this Agreement is authorized by the Interlocal Cooperation Act, RCW
39.34;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the following recitals and the mutual promises
and covenants contained herein, it is agreed as follows:
6c. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department recommends
approval of an interlocal agreement with the City of Tukwila allowing Page 27 of 166
Page 2
AGREEMENT
1.Purpose of Interlocal Agreement. The purpose of this Agreement is to provide a
single, efficient land use, environmental, and building permit review and decision-making
process using one set of development regulations in order to avoid the inherent uncertainty of
two separate review processes and concomitant waste of public and private resources that would
serve only to increase costs for both cities, the applicant, and the general public. This Agreement
is meant to assure the applicant that upon government approval of the Tukwila Sounder Station
project as provided for in this Agreement, the applicant may proceed with development of the
project in reliance upon that approval.
2. Review and Decision-Making Process for Building Permits, Environmental Permits,
and Land Use Applications and Approvals Needed for the Sound Transit Platform Project.
2.1 Tukwila shall be solely responsible for receiving and processing any and all
building-related permits, environmental permits or applications, and land use applications for the
Tukwila Sounder Station pursuant to the Tukwila Municipal Code (“TMC”).
2.2 For applications that require public notice, Tukwila must include Renton on
the list of agencies who will receive notice. Response to the notice will be required for Renton
shall automatically be made to be a party of record.
2.3 For the purposes of this Agreement, building-related permits include, but are
not limited to building permits, electrical, plumbing and mechanical permits, fire system/fire
sprinkler permits, and clearing and grading permits.
2.4 Tukwila’s processing and review of building-related permits, environmental
permits, and land use applications shall include but not be limited to rendering decisions to
approve, condition, or deny such applications; conducting inspections; issuing correction notices,
permit extensions and completion of extensions; approve final construction, and evaluating
compliance with approved conditions.
2.5 Appeals of any decisions by Tukwila shall be processed by Tukwila pursuant
to applicable Tukwila Municipal Code provisions.
3. Duration and Termination. The initial term of this Agreement shall begin upon written
execution by both parties and will continue in effect so long as neither party terminates. Either
party may terminate this Agreement by providing written notice of such intent to terminate at
least ninety (90) days prior to the termination date. Tukwila shall provide Renton with a copy of
files and records of all land use, environmental, and building permit applications processed under
this Agreement upon termination of this Agreement. Tukwila shall further be available to
Renton to provide any further information or assistance regarding project should the parties opt
6c. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department recommends
approval of an interlocal agreement with the City of Tukwila allowing Page 28 of 166
Page 3
to terminate the Agreement.
4. Indemnification.
4.1. Tukwila shall indemnify and hold harmless Renton and its officers, agents,
employees, and elected officials or any of them from any and all claims, actions, suits, liability,
loss, costs, expenses and damages of any nature whatsoever by any reason of or arising out of
any act or omission of Tukwila, its officers, agents, employees and elected officials, or any of
them relating to or arising out of the performance of this Agreement. In the event that any suit
based upon such a claim, action, loss or damage is brought against Renton, Tukwila shall defend
the same at its sole cost and expense, provided that Tukwila retains the right to participate in said
suit if any principle of governmental or public law is involved; and if final judgment be rendered
against Tukwila or its officers, agents, employees and elected officials, or any of them, or jointly
against Renton and Tukwila and their respective officers, agents, employees and elected officials,
or any of them, Tukwila shall satisfy the same.
4.2. Renton shall indemnify and hold harmless Tukwila and its officers, agents,
employees and elected officials, or any of them, from any and all claims, actions, suits, liability,
loss, costs, expenses and damages of any nature whatsoever, by any reason of or arising out of
any act or omission of Renton, its officers, agents, employees and elected officials, or any of
them, relating to or arising out of the performance of this interlocal agreement. In the event that
any suit based upon such a claim, action, loss or damage is brought against Tukwila, Renton
shall defend the same at its sole cost and expense; provided that Tukwila retains the right to
participate in said suit if any principle of governmental or public law is involved; and if final
judgment be rendered against Tukwila or its officers, agents, employees and elected officials, or
any of them, or jointly against Tukwila and Renton and their respective officers, agents,
employees and elected officials, or any of them, Renton shall satisfy the same.
5. Dispute Resolution. It is the parties’ intent to resolve any disputes relating to the
interpretation or application of this Agreement informally through discussions at the staff level

shall not be responsible for advising the Plan Administrator with respect to its
fiduciary responsibilities under the Plan nor for making any recommendations
with respect to the investment of Plan assets. HMA may rely on all information

not be responsible for determining the existence of Plan assets.

implied in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties acknowledge and agree
that HMA is acting as an independent contractor, and for all purposes shall be

upon services in an Addendum hereto, and include within such Addendum a

(a) Fees for Claims Processing Services. As compensation for the
administration and claims processing services set forth on Exhibit B, HMA shall
be paid the fees set forth on Exhibit A, which is attached hereto and made a part
hereof. Fees shall be based on the number of Participants enrolled under the
Plan on the first day of the month in which services are being billed, and shall be
due and payable in advance on the first day of the month. Fees for any newly
enrolled Participants’ entering on or after the first day of the month shall be
charged retroactive to the date of enrollment and shall be payable on the first
day of the month following the date of enrollment. Any adjustments in fees for
retroactive changes in enrollment will be made on the first billing cycle
immediately following the submission of the change in writing to HMA.
(b) Fees for Excess Loss Consultation Services. If the Plan Administrator
requests that HMA assist with the analysis of the services and costs of various
carriers (including preparation of an RFP, if necessary), or selection of an Excess
Loss Carrier for the Plan, HMA shall be entitled to a fee for this service, as set
forth on Exhibit A.
(c) Fees for Other Administrative Services. If the Plan Administrator requests

the negotiated savings as stated in the fee schedule. In the event that additional
saving negotiation services are needed, the Plan Sponsor and HMA shall mutually
agree upon a fee schedule for such services. In the event that HMA is able to

services will only apply to the additional savings retained.

retain 30% (thirty percent) of the gross savings obtained on all out of network

Sponsor’s failure to fund claims in a timely manner results in the need to
reprocess claims, subject to prior approval, the Plan Sponsor agrees to pay
HMA’s expenses in performing that service.

Plan Sponsor or the Plan Administrator may audit HMA’s compliance with its obligations
under this Agreement and HMA shall supply the Plan Sponsor or the Plan Administrator,
as appropriate, with access to information acquired or maintained by HMA in performing
services under this Agreement. HMA shall be required to supply only such information
which is in its possession and which is reasonably necessary for the Plan Administrator to
administer the Plan, provided that such disclosure is not prohibited by law or by any
third-party contracts to which HMA is a signatory. The Plan Sponsor and the Plan
Administrator hereby represent and warrant that, to the extent any disclosed information
contains Protected Health Information (as defined by the Standards for Privacy of
Individually Identifiable Health Information promulgated pursuant to the Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended (“HIPAA”)) about a
Participant, the Plan Sponsor or the Plan Administrator has the legal authority to have
access to such information. The Plan Sponsor or the Plan Administrator shall give HMA
60 days’ prior written notice of its intent to perform such an audit and its need for such
information and shall represent to HMA that the information, which will be disclosed
therein, is reasonably necessary for the administration of the Plan. All audits and
information disclosure shall occur at a reasonable time and place and at the Plan
Sponsor’s sole cost and expense.
12. Overpayment or Improper Payment of Plan Benefits. If any payment is made
hereunder to an ineligible person, or if it is determined that an overpayment or improper
payment has been made to any Participant, HMA shall make reasonable efforts to

payment to the Participant, but shall not be required to initiate court proceedings for any
such recovery. If HMA is unsuccessful, HMA shall notify the Plan Administrator in order
that the Plan Administrator may take such action as may be available to it.
13. Additional Payments to Claimants. The Plan Administrator may, by written notice to
HMA signed by an executive officer of the Plan Administrator, instruct HMA to pay claims,
which in HMA’s opinion are not payable under the Plan, upon the condition that such
instruction expressly releases HMA from any liability in connection therewith. The Plan
Sponsor and the Plan Administrator hereby acknowledge that such payments will not
qualify for credit toward excess or stop loss insurance coverage, if any, and, as such, are
considered “outside” the Plan, unless agreed upon, in writing by the Plan’s stop-loss
carrier. The Plan Sponsor and the Plan Administrator assume all legal requirements for
such payment.
14. Cooperation in Defense of Claims. HMA and the Company shall advise each other as
to matters which come to their respective attentions involving potential legal actions or
regulatory enforcement activity which involve the Plan or are related to the activities of
either party with respect to the Plan or this Agreement and shall promptly advise each
other of legal actions or administrative proceedings which have actually commenced.

instance of either party, and both parties shall submit to the jurisdiction of such
court for the purpose of any such appointment. The arbitrator shall be an
individual who is or has been actively engaged in the practice of law or who has

Agreement or other written agreement of the parties, the arbitration shall be
conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The City of Renton has a Transit Center located at 219 Burnett Avenue South. Since its inception, local
businesses and citizens have observed and experienced problems with drug related offenses,
harassment, thefts, assaults, robberies and graffiti. Many of these issues were directly related to the
Transit Center and its customers. Many of the offenders in these incidents use the Transit Center to
move through our city and often loiter in the Transit Center prior to committing offenses.
The state law regulating conduct of individuals on Transit property does not address all of the problems
we are experiencing in this area. The King County code covers a broader spectrum of the issues we are
experiencing, including expulsion; however, it does not allow the City of Renton to conduct its own
appeal process. In addition, we are seeking to have the expulsion appeal process for the Transit Center
be the same as our Parks Expulsion appeal process.
Passing the attached Transit Center Regulations Ordinance will help to increase safety in the Transit
Center and assist the city and the Police Department in addressing the listed concerns and issues that
our citizens are experiencing in the Transit Center. The ordinance and the Transit Center expulsion
clause will provide law enforcement officers with the tools they need to address many of these issues
and actually restrict access to the Transit Center to those individuals who are violating the laws and
creating concerns for our citizens and businesses in the area.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

2.Conduct a hearing within ten (10) business days of receipt of the
notice of appeal; and
3.Issue a ruling upholding, rescinding, or shortening the duration of the

B.The Hearing Official shall consider a sworn report or a declaration under
penalty of perjury as authorized by RCW 9A.72.085, written by the individual
who issued the expulsion notice, without further evidentiary foundation. This
evidence creates a rebuttable presumption that the violation occurred and the
burden thereafter rests with the appellant to overcome the presumption.
C.The Hearing Official shall consider the expulsion notice and may consider
any written or oral sworn testimony of the appellant or witnesses, as well as
pictorial or demonstrative evidence offered by the appellant that the Hearing
Official considers relevant and trustworthy. The Hearing Official may consider

witness at the request of the appellant unless the request is accompanied by the
fee required by RCW 5.56.010 for a witness in district court. The appellant shall
be responsible for serving any subpoena issued at the appellant’s request.
E.If, after the hearing, the Hearing Official is persuaded on a “more
probable than not” basis that the violation did occur, the expulsion notice shall
be upheld. Upon a satisfactory showing by appellant that he or she understands
his or her violation and will not repeat the violation, the Hearing Official may
shorten the duration of the expulsion. If, however, the violation is not proved on
a “more probable than not” basis, then the Hearing Official shall rescind the
expulsion. If the Hearing Official rescinds an expulsion, the expulsion shall not be
considered a prior expulsion for purposes of RMC 6-31-3 B and C, above.
F.The decision of the Hearing Official is final.
G.No determination of facts made by the Hearing Official under this Section
shall have any collateral estoppel effect on a subsequent criminal prosecution or
civil proceeding and shall not preclude litigation of those same facts in a
subsequent criminal prosecution or civil proceeding.
H.In no event will the Hearing Official be a person who is subordinate to the
person who issued the expulsion notice.
I.The decision of the Hearing Official is final.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Parametrix, the City’s consultant for the Maintenance Dredging and Shoreline Mitigation Project,
has completed the engineering and design of a habitat bench and island at the mouth of the Cedar

habitat for juvenile salmonids and to prevent continuous siltation buildup at the Will Rogers-Wiley
Post Memorial Seaplane Base at the Airport. Parametrix has worked with several local agencies to
finalize the design and is in the process of obtaining necessary permitting for the project. The
construction phase of the project is scheduled for the end of 2011.
The Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office is offering a grant for construction of
the habitat bench and island in the amount of $320,475.00. This grant requires a $56,600
match, which is being provided by the King Conservation District WRIA Forum with a grant in the
amount of $65,274.
